Jake, I was driving down the road the other day and stopped at a stoplight next to a hearse and just randomly thought, what would it be like to be a hearse driver? Not good. I don't, I just, I know they're dead. I know, I know they're dead. 99.9% sure. But it would just take one little thing, one little bump, one little, little, you know, just rattle back there.

A little rustling in the back. And I would think, is he? Is Donald coming back? It's like you, you get left alone in your house and you know that you're by yourself. Right. You know that no one's coming in. I locked all the doors, double locked them. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm in Johnson County. Nothing is going to happen to me. But like, what is that sound? Right. Oh, yeah. The washing machine's never made that noise before. I've never seen that shadow. Yeah. What is that? And so, yeah, just every once in a while, just, I don't know. I don't know if it's worth the money.

I don't know what you get paid to drive a hearse. I think it's pretty high paying job. Probably. I know when we looked into the road trip that we were going to do cross country, we ended up going with a limo, but we wanted to drive something kind of crazy you know we looked at like an mtv and a hearse was one of them like is this funny and they were like no no you could have some good like uh good catch lot catch phrases for that though like it's i wouldn't be caught dead in one of those yeah or like it's it wouldn't have been the show wouldn't have been called ellen we bought a limo yeah it'd be like ellen um i bet you'd like it if we put one of those. Yeah. Or like it's, it wouldn't have been, the show wouldn't have been called Ellen. We bought a limo. Yeah. It'd be like Ellen. Um,

I bet you'd like it if we put one of your interns in here. Uh, uh, oh, I, oh, I think this type means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat to 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. Come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet, because it's the Ghost Ruppers Podcast. Every morning, morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Ruppers Podcast. Ghost Ruppers Podcast. People do like to ask me that now.

They're like, did you get to see Ellen with any of her interns? I'm like, no. Oh, I would embellish the heck out of a story. I do. I'm like, I did see her put her cigarette out in one of their foreheads. Do you think that was weird? But like, but like, I just thought that was normal. I just thought that say that's showbiz. Yeah. That's showbiz. That's LA, you know? I don't know. Yeah. You know, one time, uh, they had, uh, one of the interns just shave her head, like just randomly as, as a punishment. But

besides that seems very nice to her. Ellen was chasing after one of them and look kind of cute and fun. And she said, how'd you get out of your shackles? And I was like, that's kind of weird, but it must be just like a joke they have. Yeah. The old ball and chain. I thought they were talking about newly wed couple or something. I don't know. I don't know. And where's Portia? Yeah. But did you see Ellen's? She's done. I saw that she was done, but that is a headline of that. I didn't i don't know anything else yeah basically she was just like i just want to retire it's just not a challenge for me anymore and everyone's starting to turn on me and the ratings are so so low it's not a challenge anymore it's more of a challenge now that's ever been for her yeah i think you could see this as a fun game you like game shows ellen why is this a new game for you

your ratings back to what they used to be she is like way older than we think she is she's 94 94 and a half yeah i mean it's coming up at that point they round down so 94 yeah but no she is i mean she's probably 63 64 yeah yeah that's old like she's like the same age as my parents but she seems like she's the same age as my sister seems spry yeah very spry my dad not so spry not super spry i don't see my dad dancing on stage very often doing the chair thing right yeah exactly yeah anyway that's ellen that's ellen that's ellen were you a huge fan of her i don't think you were right truly like whenever there was just like that's not that's a thought where like that's a fun thing to try to accomplish

is getting on ellen but it wasn't like you were like we love ellen so much that we're gonna try to do this for her exactly yeah we would we'd get on the. But it wasn't like you were like, we love Ellen so much that we're going to try to do this for her. Exactly. Yeah. We would, we would get on the news and be like, so you guys must be huge Ellen fans. Tell us all about it.

And then, you know, I would be like, I'm not sure what to say. And then of course Ty would come in like we would, us three would get together after school and we would watch your show every day together. Sometimes we miss it.

We would DVR. It just like, well, a 25 year old is able to watch Ellen. Like unless you're, unless you're a stay athome mom or a receptionist at a doctor's office like no example no other person is watching ellen every day it's hard it's at 4 p.m or whatever isn't it it's not a challenge no i don't know when it comes on but it's not during a normal or like after hours for work i always liked your show i can remember a lot of funny things that made me laugh in her show from back in the day ellen in your ear was like such a great

concept like like was it like one of those like you have to say this now like in public kind of yeah it was hilarious and she did a lot of fun things and always thought she was funny but no i was by no means a diehard elder generous fan yeah um but hey but conan we bought a car doesn't sound as good like yeah so kimmel we bought a horse. Doesn't sound as good. Kimmel, we bought a horse. Would have been cheaper, but not as much fun. They're taking a lot longer. Oh, man. What's going on?

How are we doing? Episode 1017. Almost. 106. We've got so much to talk about. I think, well, first, Brad, you said you put on our story, which has been so fun. Hey, anyone who buys merch while we record, we got to shout them out. So we've already had a couple people buy some merch just since we started recording, which is so fun. We're going to keep shouting them out.

That's right. Just since we started. Jordan Corcoran from Piketon, Ohio. And we got Alexis. It's Alexis. It's Alexis. I was right there. Alexis Cowles from Poland, Ohio. Ah ah yes the poland of the middle east yes warsaw

that's right war torn warsaw yeah that's kind of fun so thank you guys all for uh for binding march i think brad and i've been very shocked at the response so far um not that we didn't think you had it in you but it just you guys buying a lot of stuff you had more in you than we thought let's just say that way uh yeah like now you have more on you than you had that's right um you got it in and on so yeah the first night especially so the first night we released it to just patreon members and just like looking at my phone and refreshing my phone katherine's like you're addicted to looking at your phone it's fine i was like katherine this is so fun this is so cool to see all these people supporting us. So thank you for all that have and all that continue to. Yeah. Awesome. It's great. And one kind of

fun thing, I won't get too specific, but just kind of fun in the realm of people buying merch. Brad brought it to my attention. It said, look where this girl lives. Oh, gosh. And I don't like check every single address. I promise. Yeah. It's not like, it's just fun to like, see what cities you're from and stuff. Yeah. I mean,

everyone is for the most, everyone's a different state. Every time you look, it's like, Oh, Utah, Rachel Flickinger from St. Charles,

Iowa. Oh my gosh. That's cool. Yeah. But there is one person. We'll say who you can find out. You can figure it out for yourselves or Hey, maybe I'll tell you if you come to our basketball game,

So, you know, if you're one of the people who this week have bought merch from us and you live in Kansas City, one of you lives. I mean, we see the same cats. I'll say that. We see the same cats in the neighborhood.

you go outside and you just go oh that's it okay and then then you have to stand out there for one minute and the person the person has a chance to try to find you. Or yell back. Or that's good too. It's like a Marco Polo for just random syllables. Or like that one Queen concert. What does that mean? Where he's like, and then the crowd says it back. Okay.

Do you know what I'm talking about? No. It sounds. Music guy. You don't know this? No. It's like this famous concert. It was like half a million people in the audience.

waiting to talk to you about it since then and one of them is basketball okay so yeah we had our however many game fifth game and we get there games at 7 30 this week normally it's at 8 30 that's gonna come has it always been at 8 30 8 30 every week except for this past last week but in previous seasons it has fluctuated 7 38 yeah, 8.30, 9.30. Yeah, it's worth looking at the schedule. For sure. Absolutely. Because that's what being an adult is.

And it definitely is worth it this time, because we're there at 7.30. We worked hard to get six players. We asked multiple different guys to sub. Finally got our friend Sam to do it. Awesome guy. Sam's there. Really excited. I like how you threw in.

We asked several other people they all said no then eventually we got sam i don't think you listen but if you're listening man we are very happy that you came see it was great i asked other people for you sam i did i but but then gunner gave us a list of people and you were the first one on that list you're the first person that i asked from that list and i think we all had a good time yeah yeah it was great yeah i mean for the record whatever i'm not gonna justify myself anymore i like sam he's a You're the first person that I asked from that list. And I think we all had a good time. Yeah. Yeah, it was great. Yeah. I mean, for the record, whatever. I'm not going to justify myself anymore.

I like Sam. He's a great guy. And he was available. And Sam likes you. Yeah. So anyway, we're getting warmed up. We're feeling good. I'm shooting all right.

You know, way better than the first week. And the other team's just not coming. We're not even seeing anyone close to being on our court. No, usually like maybe like people don't always get there super early, but usually at least one or two guys it's one guy's doing layup lines by himself maybe yeah doing like the free throw and if you make it you clap once or twice or whatever miss it clap once um but no one and so we're like this team's not showing which is really random and not normal anyway i don't think it's ever happened to us no um but turns out they did not show and i was like they must have thought it was a different time and i guess in hindsight they changed the time on us i didn't realize that uh but anyway luckily the team that played before us was willing

to stay and just play us for fun that which was kind of funny it was fun there were kind of some interesting uh just like social dynamics going on in this game the main one being the ref i guess you know once the team forfeits he doesn't get paid to ref a game so he's like i'm not gonna ref this game is that what he said i just assume oh i just thought he was he just seemed lazy and just didn't want to do it is my opinion of him oh i just don't think he would have gotten paid oh really or maybe he's already getting paid yes that was my guess yeah he does because he was like he was like i'm done i'm not doing this yeah he's kind of a funny Yes. That was my guess. Cause he was like, he was like, I'm done. I'm not doing this. Yeah.

He's kind of a funny guy. We've had some funny encounters with him already. He's an interesting dude. He, so Isaac's crazy athletic, right? And a few times like in the past seasons, Isaac's gone up and like been really close,

like laying it up, but like could have probably dunked it. And this dude always gave, like gives his face to us like this, like YouTube, YouTube can see this. It's just like this weird smirk. Like he'll do that six times a game.

It's so weird. But yeah, it's not always the same situation. So it's like, what are you trying to mean by this? What do you mean, sir? Like,

it's like, it's kind of one of those, I don't know. I don't know about this, this dude, you know, like whatever it is like he's doing, he's done for years.

Yeah. He does it all the time. And only for Isaac. Yes. He's got the hots for him. Pretty much. is weird and he anytime like some sometimes people shoot and he'll be like that's in and then we've missed terribly you're the ref yeah so anyway so the ref decides he's gonna play for the other team i thought he was gonna be really good he he looks he looks good it looks like i'd want to do this anybody anybody that has that much of a confidence towards isaac is like okay he recognized game right yeah he recognizes the game yeah uh so he plays for the team and this other team i mean they're all not like that not like that

sorry but maybe based on the way he looks at him this other team is uh pretty solid all around i mean they've got several like six three six four i mean one guy probably like six seven on the team i mean they're solid they would have had like a division two like like practice jersey on i was like okay he might have played yeah i mean they would have beat us pretty easily had the ref not been on their team this dude lacked so much just like self-awareness i mean had keys jangling in his pocket i didn't notice i would not be shocked if he left and was a school custodian after hours when he gets done refereeing just take your keys out dude i like i hit his leg one time and i'm just feeling keys like what are you doing yeah and oh not afraid just fire it up not afraid to fire it up or hold the ball for 15 seconds hold the ball dribble around um there were multiple shots where the ball never got above

10 feet i mean just a straight just laser right underneath the hoop just net only it's science and didn't it didn't straight line deter him though i mean he kept firing it up and i felt bad for that other team because they it's probably awkward for them like well we don't want to make the ref mad he's got three more games of ours exactly yeah we were we like jawed on him or jawed at him a few times like jokingly, and I was like, hey guys, come on. This guy's reffing our games. Be cool.

There were a couple like things in a row. I think it was like Jordan stole the ball from him, made a shot in front of him. Then we're kind of saying some stuff. Next time down, I get switched off of him, and then I'm guarding him, and I can sense in him, he's like, oh, okay, here we go. He tries to take it to me.

I take his cookies. I got to lay up, and then I genuinely had a thought like, we got to cool off, here we go. He tries to take it to me. I take his cookies. I got to lay up. And then I genuinely had the thought, like, we got to cool off or we're not getting a call the rest of the season. This is awkward. And so anyway, I guess that wasn't really necessarily that much of a fun part of the evening. That was fine.

We got to play basketball. Yeah, but that's not the story. It was like silver lining, though. It was like, oh, I'm glad we got to play a game, even though our team didn't show up. So we're getting done because it's time for the next games to come on. And all of a sudden we see, you know, classic like Sandlot style, like all these different teams coming.

We've got three teams merging. Yeah, and you could just see it coming. They're about to realize what they've done. Yeah, and of course Scott knew like the color of the team we were supposed to be playing. So he's like, I guarantee you it's those guys over there yellow and yeah i had 24 points four assists two rebounds last week i bet he still remembers exactly how many points he has in both games because we ended up playing a second game against a team that was supposed to show up

at 7 30 but thought the game was at 8 30 yeah uh so we played these guys on a second court just for fun it was like it doesn't matter they've already forfeited we are doing them a favor yeah and i was excited to play two games too i was not i was like i'm leaving for austin tomorrow i got laundry i got a pack i gotta edit a video for tomorrow but i didn't realize that i'm sorry it's basketball yeah consulted with basketball and i think isaac and i rode together so i'm like i'm not gonna be the one like you know what guys it would be fun like obviously i'm gonna play basketball my friends right uh so anyway we played these guys and they were they were cool guys like

for the most part uh what brett six out of seven love brett brett you guys seriously need to come to our basketball game just to hear how much brad and i just don't we are we try to do stand-up comedy on the court the whole time and it's not super well received no it's not it hasn't been well received at all except for brett brett liked it brett and the duke guy the guy wearing a duke shirt yeah yeah yeah nice guys nice guys so i think brett came in off the bench at the beginning of this you know exhibition game we were playing and what how did we figure out his name somebody was just like hey brett someone was like hey somebody somebody let brett sub for him.

Let's get Brett in. Let's get Brett in there. Let's get Brett. They just yelled his name like three times. So we knew his name was Brett. That was our window. And they're like, Hey guys, Brett's coming in. Yeah.

Somebody guard Brett. It's like, so he's coming down, dribbling the ball down for the first time. Like guys, don't be afraid of Brett. Don't be afraid. And then he's also like, guys, you do not need to be afraid of me. I'm very gentle. Yeah. He was really cool about it.

Like you like really leaned into it. And then I think he got swatted that like, like that you do not need to be afraid of me. I'm very gentle. Yeah, he was really cool about it. Like, he, like, really leaned into it. And then I think he got swatted. That, like, that's tripped down the court. And he was like, see, guys? Stop messing with me. Way to block Brett. Like, anytime we could use Brett's name, we could. Oh, yeah, it was awesome.

And so there was Brett. There was Big Bo, which I was really excited that this guy's name was Bo. And he was, like, six foot six, probably. Yeah, I found out he was an O-lineman for KU. Yeah, so that was cool. That was really excited that this guy's name was bow and he was like six foot six probably yeah i found out he was an alignment for ku yeah so that was cool that was cool athletic guy uh but i was just like i hope i was like oh i have a son named bow which is kind of a weird thing to say to a large man that you're looking up at but um and then there was carlos let's talk about carlos so carlos i think was on season three of Jersey Shore maybe um five foot four maybe no he's not that short he's probably five six five seven yeah he was not a big guy um did he have a chin strap

or did he just have like it's kind of a scruffly beard yeah he was he had a clean cut beard like a Baker Mayfield beard okay yeah really Baker Mayfield is a decent description of what I think this guy looked like but a little bit smaller a little bit more condensed yeah so the the first bit of tension started uh i think it was one of those things where like i got a rebound under the goal and i'm kind of stuck so the other team is kind of trying to trap me after i get this rebound and i'm able to get out of it put a quick little move on we didn't know his, but we called him Florida. He was wearing the Florida Gators. Oh, that's right.

He was wearing a Gator shirt. Yeah. And I'll just say I dropped him. Did you? I dropped him. And as I'm going around him, like he is like stumbling to the floor. He sticks his foot out and trips me. Oh, I heard.

I'm always just hustling down the court. Appreciate that. Yeah. Appreciate that. Just just have I have point A and I have point B. I'm not looking back, but I heard the fall. Yeah, I did hear the court. Appreciate that. Yeah. Appreciate that. Just, just have, I have point A and I have point B. I'm not looking back, but I heard the fall. Yeah. I did hear that.

So he started. Yeah. It just, it was almost things felt good. I drop them, but then it did not feel good. So he trips me and then whatever. So I don't say anything, but I call a foul. Yes. And some guy I'll call him Scott Pollard on the other team.

You don't talk about, no, you probably know who Scott Pollard is. He was a KU guy back in the day. It was kind of weird. He had like long hair, like the guy in the headband, long hair in the headband. Yeah. Weird left-hander. He's likeard is he was a ku guy back in the day okay it was kind of he had like long hair like the guy oh and headband long hair in the headband yeah weird left-hander he's like is he left-handed yes that's scott pollard for you um scott pollard was like complaining that you called the foul and to call everything i go well he did get tripped i did i did stand up for you a little bit i appreciate that yeah so that was like one thing and i didn't really get upset it was like whatever i guess it could have been on accident maybe he was just a little

embarrassed you know but it's this game does not matter it's like my spirits are so high like whatever i'm gonna call the foul but then that's the end of it sure right there's no refs yeah there's no refs yeah so we just have to call our own so probably two possessions later the same guy is guarding me we've got a little iso going i'm like i'm gonna take it to this guy like he tripped me last time you know i'm gonna get the best of him so do a little hezy get around him i'm going on left and then he sticks his foot out again to trip me and this time i see it and like kind of hop over it i think i missed the shot or whatever i don't know what happened but as we're talking back down i'm like dude you gotta

chill with the feet dude like you tripped me once and i would try to trip me again what are you doing yeah this game doesn't even matter like not being that sassy but just being like what what are you doing for yourself yeah like what are you doing and he's like Yeah. Like, what are you doing? And he's like, Hey man, I was going for the ball. I was like, but my feet are down there. I said, that was like my feet are down there. Uh,

it's so that like bounces on the ground, bro. I was like, find me a coach in America. That's like, Hey, good way to play defense. Stick your, stick your foot out,

try to kick the ball. That's the best way. Just move your feet. Whatever. So it's just kind of frustrating. It's like, Oh, this is the style of defense.

They're going to play kind of the football style. Like, I'm not going to move my feet. I'm going to like like use my my brawn right right play defense so that's where some tension kind of started i mean bow taught him all he knew you know yeah drop step yeah drop step quick quick hips yeah and but that was the end for like me and this guy we never got into anything more than that but it did kind of start some tension between our teams and then there was one time where he said some bad language and we have jordan's son who's seven years old i think yeah eight years old easton uh easton was sitting on the bench and he like yells a cuss word and i says is carlos or florida carlos okay i was gonna say i think

florida's done like he's kind of out of the story from now on wait wait carlos is not florida the guy that was guarding me was like florida the black guy with the chain oh he was on the trip to you yeah yeah yeah oh no i'm sorry okay okay okay well anyway carlos said some words yeah really i think just in general like not like talking to anybody at this point but just yelled some words i go hey man we got some young ears over here and at first he goes what and i go he's seven years old like don't say that he's like okay my bad my bad my bad and then i bet 20 more times throughout the night just throw yeah that was like the tip of the iceberg for old carlos i wish i could repeat what he said on the show just so

you could like hear like how jarring it would be to hear this in a in the most recreational unmeaningful basketball game of your life to hear what this guy is saying like he was having a pretty good first half like he would make a three and then he would just like jog down the court yeah screaming at you yeah and and it was like he was also he gave me grant hudeberg vibes randomly yeah yeah like for some reason like he reminded me of grant a little bit in the way he looked but um but he was making shots but he was not very fundamentally like there wasn't a pretty shot how that going it was like dang how do you make that like oh like multiple times but he was making a lot in the first half and it gave him a reason to like be very boastful like he would be back

pulling down the court just like unsolicited just berating the guy who's guarding him and we all know the guy like god made you little yeah it, dude, no one is like saying anything to you. Right. This is just out of nowhere. So then he went a little too far. Yeah. We didn't hear it, but Jordan heard it. And Jordan's the only one that really matters about hearing this stuff.

Jordan is our friend, plays on our team, light skin dude. And Carlos was apparently thrown out the N word. Yeah. Quite a bit to Jordan because they were guarding each other. So obviously it's not cool by itself, but it's double like jordan was fired up and jordan it was it was it was like it was something from the last day it was a sight to see i took that personal and he just i think like 10 times five times in a row down the list i mean just just took him to school and then carlos would try to like respond and he would miss. I just

remember one time, what did, Oh, Jordan just like caught the ball, like rebound the ball. He's like under his breast goes garbage, garbage, garbage. And then like you score, like I remember I heard Jordan one time go get off my court. Yeah. I mean, it got to the point where I didn't even go down and play offense. I was like, I'm just going to sit back and watch. Yeah. Like I remember hearing old stories of like when satchel page played in the negro leagues he was so dominant that the outfielders would sit around the mound and just watch him pitch no way and that's how i felt yeah it was like get out of his way don't even be on the same half of the court as him no you're just gonna get in his way it was so fun because also i was like proud of the maturity

of like wow it would be so easy to be like violent and combative right like this little punk this like five seven punk is like being racist and like bigoted towards me you know just saying awful things and jordan handled it so like just like i'm gonna take it out on him on the basketball court right and it was awesome i don't remember the exact like sequence of events but i remember at halftime we took like a halftime i remember at halftime he like we were kind of like we're like okay this guy's getting a little out of control we hear that he like picks picks fights at his softball league games. Like this guy's just kind of crazy. And so we're like talking and then Carlos just like yells at us, like stay on your side,

stay on your side of the bitch, you know, whatever. Shut the up. I don't want to hear nothing. And so we're like, and I think we were at halftime. We were like up by like five, maybe, maybe not even, I don't know. It was like a very close game. Jordan gets mad. Jordan, like we all of a sudden are up by like a very close game jordan gets mad jordan like we

all of a sudden are up by like 20 points and then jordan leaves he's just like i'm done he's like hey i'm gonna work here's done like he kind of just like you know dusted off his hands was like all right i proved my point you guys take it from here oh it was so wild but so awesome and just scary because there was there was a period of time in the first half where i think we were all like we got we want to stand up for ourselves like this is ridiculous this is crazy and then it got to a point where like carlos might be a meth addict like i don't want to like push any buttons or like what he's going to do to us in the parking lot later yeah you said that you're what you're like i'm i'm done with this guy uh now it's funny now it's just funny i don't want any piece of this like let's

just enjoy it yeah and uh yeah at the end of the game so carlos subs himself out after getting scored on nine consecutive trips down the floor and i thought i heard that he said something like uh no one else is helping me i thought that was like he kept like making excuses when he would miss he'd be like he's like sub me out no one's helping me no one's helping you because you you dug your own grave here oh when he first started yelling at us his team was like carlos yeah everyone everyone on the other team was like dude carlos stop stop it was awesome bow the peacemaker back there so anyway the game's over carlos comes over i'm like oh here we go and then he goes to fist bump and he goes hey all love baby i'm like was it jake's like yeah all right yeah i think i said the words all right yeah all right all right but the fun thing

i was gonna say all the ghosts out there here we go the fun thing is that it's almost a guarantee that we're playing carlos in the championship game they're the second best team either the championship or the semi-final game i think we're taking on carlos you gotta see us come play carlos gotta see us come play and you gotta you gotta either like bring some signs that say, We're here for Carlos. Carlos Barkley? Not. Or something like that. Yeah, something like that.

I don't know. Yeah, some great heckling, because if you heckled Carlos, it might be more fun. I would say don't heckle Carlos. I would say absolutely heckle Carlos. I would say watch carefully from a distance, but it will be fun to survey survey maybe that's maybe maybe let's let's uh combine them heckle carlos from a distance like

top row you suck call that a jump shot what's that follow through come on yeah something just just just be right carlos so may 27th it's happening car. It's happening. Carlos part two. It really is happening. Yeah. Also, we have friends that are like planning on coming. Fans that are planning on coming. Yeah. Justin, our editor, which is like, hey, you got a place for me to stay?

Heck yeah. I'll come. He's from Wisconsin, right? I think so. That's an easy drive. If he can come, you can come. Yeah. We will get specifics next week to you guys but we will make it worth your while if you come promise brad had a couple good ideas of things we could do the

next day you know if you could stick around and we'll obviously hang out hang out with you guys that night and i would just what a memory and just if you can make it it just like yeah my sister has it on her calendar katherine's got on her calendar okay who else do you need we got to tell all the girls yeah oh yeah oh yeah my parents will probably come they got none though they're retired also my sister would come oh yeah bring her friends half time uh like her dance like she could have a halftime dance with it that would be fun that'd be fun i'd do it i'll tell the other team not to watch though please yeah especially carlos yeah carlos don't don't look at this nice try buddy okay that was a long story i hope you

guys enjoyed that that was uh last thursday night um i want to tell you one other quick story brad so before that um some other things happened to me that thursday night uh how do i want to tell a story there's probably a really fun way to tell it but i think i'll start at the beginning and then i'll work towards the end very good place do you think okay that's what i was thinking so a couple days before that last week our neighbor judy who we've've talked about, she's not going to Florida. You're going to Florida, Judy? Go to Florida. No, my grandson's leaving me and I'm crying.

So sweet old Judy. Wait, what did Isaac say? What did you say? Oh, he's coming down here, I think. He's like fell on the ground or something. Yeah, it's something. He said he wasn't going to Florida. He just yelled through the vent.

Actually, I hope that got picked up yell it really loud again turns out she wasn't going to florida that's great thank you yeah turns out she wasn't going to florida so isaac no judy calls isaac like on tuesday or something like, hey, just wanted to let you know something that's going to be happening Thursday. I don't know if you know, but it's National Prayer Day. Oh, yeah. It's something that I've done for the last 15 years in this neighborhood as I gather all the neighbors and they always meet on my driveway. And we do a little thing. So when we first get there, we all say the Pledge of Allegiance. And then we all together sing God Bless America. And then we all first get there, we all say the pledge of allegiance and then we all together sing,

God bless America. And then we all will pray just for the health and the safety of each other in our neighborhood, in this community. We're like, this sounds amazing. Yeah. Like,

uh, we'll definitely be there. Like Isaac tells like me, Jake Harrison, like count us in. Right. We're there. Yeah.

Harrison will lead the charge on God bless America. Oh yeah. I would love to see it. Um, and so she's like, it's at 7 PM. And so we're like, great. We always play basketball at 8 30 yeah right this will be no problem well thursday afternoon rolls around and isaac and i were like shoot do we play at 7 30 yeah ah dang it and the stadium is like 15 minutes yeah yeah it's something where like we would be leaving

right at seven yeah and so we don't do the best job planning it's like 6 15 and then i say something isaac goes like one we need dinner before our game and two we should probably get dinner soon because we should probably leave like i'm starting to imagine we can't leave while the pledge of allegiance is going on like i am next door neighbors with this woman oh oh yeah you can't like yeah i can't be leaving while it's happening. Like Judy's like, you said, you said you were going to be here. And then Isaac are both punting in the car.

We have to get out of here. It's like, shoot, shoot. Yeah, we got to go. We go to Subway. I don't know what happens. I don't know. There's like a lapse in memory or some sort of black hole. We get back and it's been 30 minutes.

And Subway is so close to my house. The girl who orders merch in my neighborhood, you know, she walks there. Yeah, it's so close. I don't know how it took 30 minutes, but did. So it's 650 and we haven't eaten our sandwiches. We come back to our house like, dude, we got to go right now. We have to leave right now. Get your shoes, get your shorts.

I'm like, she's old enough. She's she's already out. I know. Yeah, I opened the garage door and I'm not even down the stairs yet and isaac is like peering around the edge of it and he he like jumps back in no judy you prayed over there and he's like she's out there she's already out there i'm like no it's all an uber yeah i mean it's at our fans house i'm like all right what if like you go out the back and i i don't know how i we got out of this so

now we're strategy it's just like the funniest dynamic i'm like trying to explain like yeah we're trying to dip out of prayer night to go to a wreck basketball game because a sweet old lady who we just you know harassed last week doesn't see us and so we're sitting there isaac's like we gotta just go out just bite the bullet i'm like no no no no no oh i agree yeah i was like we can't bite it we can't bite it i don't want to see her it's too want to see her. It's too cold. I don't want to look her in the eyes. The bullet is too cold. Because what's going to happen is we're not, we're just going to end up having a conversation with her.

And then it's last five minutes. Now Pledge of Allegiance is starting. Why don't you guys stick around for the Pledge of Allegiance? Now, what point do we leave? God bless America. That doesn't seem like the right time to do it. Definitely not going to leave during the prayer. You can't leave it white with foam.

It's not the right place. And then what do you know? I'm like, just check one more time. Isaac peers around. He's like dude i'm nervous to check i'm like just check stick your head out there he sticks his head out he goes she went inside go go go go he sprint to the car and her husband who's a little more out of it is on the front porch still almost like a uh breaking bad hector salamanca like he can't really communicate he's like trying to like like they're leaving for judy they're leaving justin put that in right now so basically that's going on and then it was also a thing like i don't want to like

you know yeah yeah yeah reverse out because then what if judy sees it and then it looks like we just like got out of there so now we're just slowly backing out of the driveway just eye contact with bill well he's just staring at us and we're staring back at bill just being like we didn't want this our game's at 7 30 we didn't know it's not supposed to be like this don't tell judy have faith in us bill oh my god we haven't talked to judy since then but i know she had to think like i just saw that car out there yeah and now it's oh yeah so i don't know if we handled it the best way but oh it was so funny it was just like this is such an innocent thing i don't know why we feel so dirty because we really did want to go yeah yeah it would have been fun.

It would have been short enough. But you never know. Prayer, you never know. You never know. But is it a popcorn prayer? Is it one person leading the prayer? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Because if it's one person, great. Two minutes max, probably. But are we doing prayer requests now? Now everybody's going around. Sure. I'll pray for you. You pray for me.

Yeah. Or just like, hey, we're partnering up here. We're going to partner up. We're going to partner up prayer. And then we'll come meet together. Or I'll call you, hang up know i'll dial you hang up kind of thing like yeah and then like you have to wait 30 seconds like to make sure no one else is gonna want to come in dude one time we called it i don't know if this is wrong to say this is just what i

was told it was called a mexican prayer i'm sure it's not actually how they pray in mexico but that's what it was told it's called where you all pray out loud at the same time oh interesting debilitating yeah i can't do it it was like that speech jammer app where you put the headphones in you start talking and your own voice chokes you up yeah i couldn't do it yeah i would just like all these voices it's like bruce almighty when all the prayers are here it's like dear god that's all i could get out god i just i don't i don't like that oh i don't like that at all i don't i don't think i don't think that's necessary i just oh i couldn't i i couldn't talk i would have just i would have been like god you can hear me you know you have that superpower you don't have i don't have to talk out loud for you to hear me that's

what's amazing about you that's like the one thing that i love about god like yeah like you see inside of here and it's great oh most of the time sometimes i don't like everything i'm sorry about that other thing i said but just trust me on this one i want to talk to you i just don't want to talk out loud with 15 other people going on sorry about that other thing I said, but just trust me on this one. I want to talk to you. I just don't want to talk out loud with 15 other people going on. Sorry about that. Hector Salamanca comparison. I made the old man bill, but look,

you know, all of me. That's beautiful. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, so that was, yeah.

How about to leave Judy's prayer night? It would have been so cute. And all these old people, I mean, we are by far the youngest people in our neighborhood, so it would have been fun. I'm sure they would have liked us being there, but Hey,

go starters. A wrecking basketball comes first. Yeah, that's right. I mean, it's, it the youngest people in our neighborhood, so it would have been fun. I'm sure they would have liked us being there. But hey, go starters. Wrecking basketball comes first. Yeah, that's right. I mean, it's one thing if you're like you could guarantee that you would make it on time or like within reason. And yeah, we had a legitimate commitment beforehand. That's why I don't think you should have felt bad like walking out and being like, hey, Judy, I know that you said we have this thing, but actually we don't. Judy, though, you're right. You haven't seen her eyes.

Yeah, they're so warm. Those. You don't know Judy, though. You're right. You haven't seen her eyes. Yeah. They're so warm. Those baleful eyes. Oh, man. Real quick before we go any further, we have a new sponsor of the pod. Not like I taught you. Like this. Let's get this party started.

She's been a sponsor before, and she's been a friend for a long time. In fact, she saw my dad in Branson this week.

Back to you, Brad. I went to Texas this weekend, as did you. Yes. And had a good time. I don't have that much written down, honestly, but we went down there to celebrate some birthdays. Catherine's in a big family, so we actually celebrated five birthdays.

My goodness. Alongside Mother's Day. So it was just like one thing after another. But it was fun. They built a new kitchen outside, like an outdoor kitchen. Oh, like a dishwasher room. Yes, exactly. A dishwasher room for, you know, the sun, basically.

And it was great, man. It was just a fun time. Her dad cooked us all sorts of good stuff and, um, nothing really too crazy story wise from that, except for just, you know, just having fun celebrating Catherine celebrating bow. And then mother's day came around. I actually have it. Let me see if I can pull it up real quick. Uh, I, I always ask Hattie, it's always really fun. Like Catherine, I both, like whenever we do birthday cards for each other or whatever, anything, Hey, what do you want to say to dad in this card? And then we just write down like

verbatim what she says. And so this is her mother's day card from Hattie. It says, we got you these great presents for mother's day and your hair always looks so beautiful. It makes me wonder about them. Oh yeah. I think that's sweet. And then I'll be like, and it should be like, that's all I want to say. And I'll say, okay, well, what do you, what about, what do you love about mom? She says, I love it when you help me out and I love you.

So love Hattie PS, happy mother's day. Oh, she loves the PS too. She learned the PS recently. I like PS, um, post script,

post script. Yeah. Catherine's hair does make me wonder about it sometimes. So I wonder about them. I wonder about them. That does make sense. Uh, that's,

that's her new thing that she's like loving to tell Catherine. She has great hair, which is great. I love her complimenting. Um, but then the other thing is on the way home, I, I pass every single time I go to Texas and back,

I pass the Amish jam sign. How much money, how much money is a reasonable amount to like go up to those people and say, Hey, can I buy this side for me? Seriously? I think I want to. Yeah.

And this put it on the studio at the studio or something oh get the original amish yeah the original amish how big is it uh probably like four feet by two feet oh it's not too big it's not huge uh but yeah it's it's not it's not tiny uh yeah because how much is it i mean it's literally like like very very cheap to them i'm sure but to us it's like invaluable it's it's more to them the annoyance of like now i gotta make a new amish jam exactly maybe that's half of it is i bring them a better amish jam sign can i get the original yeah fifteen dollars you think so i would go high all right really just just for the the historic aspect of the podcast i feel like that's

like one of those bits that's like legendary in the ghost runners lore i think that's where you start handling $15 for your amish jam sign yeah i don't know we have to 25 yeah okay you're driving a hard bargain $25,000 for your side uh we have 100,000 people listening to this every week so i think that's really fun i mean i never would have thought in a million years we would ever get the original amish jam signs that'd be pretty awesome yeah i also thought about just taking a picture next to it and making a t-shirt that just had me like this um i remember in kawaii there was a sign that said uh it wasn't like an actual street street sign that would say something like drive slow children at play like one of those signs it was a plywood sign like board probably like five by five or whatever spray painted and it

just said slow children and what was kind of fun is me and my sister were in separate cars and we both took a picture of it to show each other it was just like both of our sense of humor for you guys did you see this there's slow children in this yard that's too bad that's too bad um i was a slow child still i'm a slow adult. You know? Yeah. Speed wise. Speed. You'll see.

May 27th. Hy-Vee Arena. Hy-Vee Arena. Yeah. But anyway, I just thought it'd be really fun to own the Amish Jam sign. That's a nice thought. Yeah. And every time I see it, I always just laugh so much.

I'm like, that is our sign. That's it. It's us. It's us. So. Okay. I went to Texas. Yep.

I have, here's what I'll say. I'll watch your guys' beak on this. I've got a great story for you guys six months from now. Okay. That's all you need to know. That would be November 13th. That's my birthday. Oh, birthday song.

Happy birthday, Brad. Here's a great story. That was not planned. That's fun. That was not planned. Okay. Okay. Roughly six months this is my half birthday today you didn't say anything to me about it dang i didn't do a single thing

that's okay i do like your hair though and it makes me wonder about them so yeah i have a phenomenal story well maybe i don't know but in due time in due time but i have some other things brad what would you like to know about texas we've got the flight okay the john christ okay the jack reed or the fans i met well Brad, what would you like to know about Texas? We've got the flight. Okay. The John Crist. Okay. The Jack Reed or the fans I met. Well, first of all, I'd like to know about all those things, Jake. But the thing I'd like to know about first is the Jack Reed. Jack Reed.

This is not too much of a fun story or whatever. It was just kind of cool. This is Trey's manager, Trey's agent or whatever. This guy also represents like David Dobrik, Jeff Wittek, Jason Nash. Jeff Wittek. I don't know who that is. Oh, he okay uh i'll look him up i think sick wittick i nice yeah i like doing that people you could like talk about forever and like really dynamic they're cool they're nice you would be you would be surprised by nice there he's pretty quick way to yeah

very quick way to the guy but uh just so and which you got to meet jack and phoenix yeah but it was kind of like a group setting i don't know i feel like i didn't talk to him that much okay that's jack okay yeah yeah but he was just so complimentary of like trey and i but he was talking to like me individually just like dude what you guys are doing now is just the beginning it's just the tip of the iceberg of like you guys are going to be mark my words you will be in madison square garden before this is all said and done whoa netflix specials for both of you guys i was and he just like kept saying these things i was like keep talking jack no one talks to me like this this is awesome okay he's like no he does i was like well i mean i mean my friends are very nice

and very supportive but no one says things like this this is crazy what you're saying from kansas you're from missouri whatever yeah so i was just a nice little cherry on top for the weekend and just like wow where it's a vaf guy'm going to think about that for a long time. Heck yeah. Did that motivate you of like, okay. A little bit. Maybe back in the lab. Yeah, I'm going tomorrow to South Carolina to perform.

Yeah, dude. The Madison Square Garden of Northwestern South Carolina. Madison Square Greenville. Madison Square Greenville. I'll do that joke. Ooh, do it. I won't. I dare you.

No. I'll give you a dollar. Okay. Okay. So that was one of four. Which would you like next? Airplane ride. Airplane.

There was a woman next to me on the flight who started praying before the flight. And my first thought was like, oh, that's kind of nice. That's kind of wholesome. Pledge of allegiance. Then God bless America. Then God bless America. And then pray before 730. And she's praying.

I'm like, oh, that's kind of nice. But then I think, hold hold on does she know something i don't like why wait why she's so nervous so then i start to imagine like was she praying out loud well that's what i was gonna say no no she was praying to herself but like i what if she was starting to like pray out loud and i can kind of hear bits and pieces of it so it's like god um as you know two of our three engines are not working right now. And, um, this is going to be a tough flight. Um, just pray you keep us safe with the one engine that we do have. No birds. Yeah. God, I know that the, uh, the pilot has a

little bit of an alcohol and substance abuse problem. So just be with him, help him focus today. Right. It's like the little things she might be praying for. Yeah. Lord Jesus. I don't know. I know it's take your daughter to work day and that poor girl's never been in a cockpit before and she's going to be flying the plane today. Right. Just please, please help us. Give her supernatural abilities here. Yeah.

So it was a little unnerving. Right. It was just like the woman next to you is praying. Yeah. Like she knows, she knows something. It's like, yeah. Why? Yeah. Why are you so nervous? Have you never been on a plane before? But hey, it's like what yeah why yeah why are you so nervous

have you never been on a plane before but hey it's okay to be nervous okay yeah that's that is that is a tough situation to be in because you're like okay uh yeah what do i do here how do i respond to you right now yeah you'll be fine how how how'd you know it was prayer and not just like she's trying to force herself to go to sleep i would say a little bit of this oh she flat-handed yeah yeah like a little bit of this oh yeah that looks like a forced sleep to me dude and then she put her arm up and i'll stand give one of those no no you have to sit down yeah yeah like what if that's what she does like she just has a different uh like worship song for every single like thing that the flight attendant does so like if we do have a water landing i will

call upon your name when oceans ride you know whatever that's a good one yeah now if you're going to uh i can't think of a worship song i don't want to get ahead of myself i don't know i was like exit road joke or seat belt joke but i don't i can't think of a worship song. I don't want to get ahead of myself. I don't know. I was like exit road joke or seatbelt joke, but I can't think of a worship song that would coincide with that. I don't know either. Now, of course, well. No, never, whatever.

The joke is going to come as you are and it was going to make you wear whatever on the plane, but that's not totally accurate because it will kick people off the plane if you're not wearing what they want you to. Anyway. Forget it. It's a fun idea, guys,

but you guys tell us what they would say in the comments below yeah or other things that she could be praying about because i think that's a funny premise uh okay two more things left john christ i don't remember the other one so john christ i want to hear about it i i've got to talk to him quite a bit just because i was the only person he knew like i didn't know that many people but he really did not know anyone so i what a loser ran around with him a little bit and made him just you know feel more you know he had someone to talk to as long as i was around him yeah so uh we had talked for probably 20 30 minutes like all right i gotta ask i know people probably love to ask you about this but i don't

know the answer and this is the best way to find out so what was up with your hair there for a little bit like uh because i was always coming to bat for him like giving the benefit of the doubt like no i'm sure this is for a shtick or a character he's doing on stage yeah or it's not even real or this is a he filmed like a mini series and he needed that haircut right for it right and so i was like anyway i gotta know what was it he's like i mean i grew up in like my my background like my family's amish and uh you know so they kind of like look like that. There's some people in my family look like that. And, you know, I'm starting to see the mullet, you know, it's kind of like an ironic mullet is happening now. And I just thought, Hey, no one's doing an ironic bowl cut. So I don't know. I just kind of did it for a while.

And then I thought that was it. And so I was like, so your reason is you have no reason. And you didn't stick with it enough to like let people see it ever. That was the weird thing to me. Yeah. He had no reason for it, but he like, like let people see it ever. That was the weird thing to me. Yeah. He had no reason for it, but he like, he never really showed it off. Like really?

Like it was, I feel like he was always wearing hats. It was like, it's like, you don't really like this thing either. So I don't know. Like I got to the bottom of it, but it didn't feel like I got to the bottom of it.

It was just like, Oh, so no real reason. I wonder, do you, do you, you believed it? I guess.

You bought it. But maybe not. I don't know if i buy it maybe i don't because like i wonder if there's something else like maybe he had another idea but it was a bad idea in the long run so he's like yeah i just decided i was just for fun just to be ironic i got this bowl cut while i was performing i don't think that's that's how people view the mullet at all like i think people still think the mullet's like not the coolest but i think some people pull off a mullet really well. Never heard anybody say that about a bull.

Like, I don't think I don't care if Matthew McConaughey, Brad Pitt and Bradley Cooper, Bradley Cooper, all bowling it up. There's no way any of them look good. Yeah, it does not.

It just doesn't look how there's just certain things are like, that's not, that's not ever going to happen, dude. Like there's no amount of like, uh, yeah, it's just not how our brains are,

are wired to see attraction i don't think so we'll never break through that i do have a theory that cargo pants are going to come back soon or cargo shorts that's fair you can think that i feel like that's been like the butt of the joke forever and maybe it's just me getting older as a dad and thinking like that would be pretty nice to have all those pockets you know stuffed edibles you can fit in there i think air monarchs might make a little comeback oh yeah they're not bad they're not bad they're not bad yeah i think if you keep them clean yeah and you like wear them with a nice outfit i think they look pretty cool what was it that uh

manny used to call his oh yeah nike crows nike crows like velcro velcro yeah manny that's good well okay so and then last time i do have a question about john chris oh yeah yeah so we talked about how he was kind of like always dressing weird did he have a normal attire on at the wedding oh yeah he looks sharp nice black suit okay look good look good good for him um oh yeah one other thing i just thought of with him he was like he was like i've been loving your guys's videos he's like dude slept on joke from that dmv video was the the peephole joke and i was like oh thanks that was my joke he's like that videos. He's like, dude, slept on joke from that DMV video was the peephole joke. And I was like, oh, thanks.

That was my joke. He's like, that was you? He's like, man, I was going through the comments trying to find people saying stuff like that. I had no idea it was your joke. He's like, so you just write jokes and then Trey takes the credit for it? I was like, no. Like, he pays me. It's my job to do this.

Yeah. He's like, couldn't fathom. Oh, really? You think that he doesn't get anybody helping him? I don't know. It was very interesting. Oh, wow wow i would assume like yeah he's got similar teams or something that's what i told him i was like you should

get people to write for you yeah or at least brainstorm pop off with like back and forth he was just like i mean still though still even if he's paying you people got to know that's your joke and i was like how would you do that and tm drake triplet like every single time or like put in the comment section it was a weird conversation because i was like, I mean, people write for TV shows. People write for comedians. People write for late night talk. Like, yeah, I feel like I'm talking to someone who's not in the comedy space at all. Right.

Like you should definitely understand how this works. Right. Like, yeah, but it was nice that he liked that joke. So that was cool. Are you the first person that's ever written jokes for him? You think Trey for Trey? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It was just him in a tripod for four years. I people don't realize like even people of our podcast don't realize you write jokes for him so now they know now they know which maybe john's such a like pure stand-up comedian like you would never see people write stand-up for anyone else but it's like it's for social media yeah it's just it's the same as writing for the office or snl or something yeah it's exactly the same yeah so last thing from texas uh you might remember we got a five-star review one time from a girl said she was turning 13 she lived in north carolina and she was asking for ideas of what she should do for her birthday party

oh yeah she is katie kennedy's cousin and she was at the wedding okay and so i got to meet her and her mom took a picture with him really yeah it was really awesome did you figure out what they did for their birthday she said i wasn't able to end up having a birthday party because of i think it was weather or covid you know both yeah it was raining cats and covid well it's probably both it was raining so they couldn't do it outside because of covid smart covid yeah smart wicked smart guy huh wicked smart that's fun like them apples did you figure out how they found you was it through trey i guess yeah i think through correct opinions okay that's awesome yeah that was really fun she came up and yeah super ran you were amazing super polite super fun it was a great interaction with you and your mom what were the vibes like or like the the

overall yeah vibes i guess of a wedding that's for two people that are already married it was kind of fun it was a little more casual was it but also still like legitimate and like katie's dad gave like such a heartfelt speech at the reception they're like that didn't feel like it was the second time really yeah yeah that's what i thought like i cried a bunch when katherine came down the aisle i don't think i would have cried if if i got married you know twice kind of thing trey did did he that's how you guys are different i guess okay yeah or that's how maybe my perception of it's different like maybe this was special still yeah i thought it was cool that he was still that emotional like a year later yeah that's cool he said he's like a couple people were like oh were you like playing it up

for the camera he's like no but i was trying to like keep it in no no i could have like burst in my like i was trying so hard to be like not like die yeah like i almost wet myself with how i was trying to like hold into the water here and force it out somewhere else. You should have seen like the clenching that I have my face like it. Oh, it was so hard not to like just burst out in tears. Oh yeah. That's funny.

Yeah. Why would you play it? No, no guy purposely plays up that he's crying. If anything, it's the opposite. So I cry almost every time any bride comes down the aisle now. Right.

Good for you. It gets me going. Yeah. Cause it's just like, Oh, like especially, I mean when it's Christian people, especially cause it's like, you've waited so much for this and I know this is so good. So anyway, I just get pumped for him. Laura Gabriel's wedding. Oh man. I rack. Yes. Seriously. I was like, Oh, and hat. I was holding Hattie when it was happening. I was like, it's going to be you someday. So anyway,

that's great. And then one of the fan that I met was a guy sitting at my table. I've been sitting at his table at the reception for two hours. And then eventually he goes, so you must be Mr. Ghost Runner. And I go, that is what I asked people to call me.

Yes. Thank you. Yes. That is what everyone knows me by. But check your name tag. Oh, oh, you look at that.

I guess you're right. I guess it is me, Mr. Ghost Runner, but he was also super great. Super nice guy. Yeah. I was like, and but check your name tag oh oh well you look at that i guess you're right i guess it is me mr ghost runner but he was also super great super nice guy yeah i was like and what's your name trey i said i can remember that that's easy enough yeah troy trey bolton now that's high school musical i was gonna say i've heard that name before troy bolton anyway i don't know his last name but super nice guy he said he listens occasionally so whenever you get onto this one it's nice to meet you trey heck yeah trey that's awesome he said he likes it a lot i love hearing people say that it's just a nice thing i i've never heard somebody say that they don't like our podcast but i don't want to hear that so so please don't so don't tell me if you don't want to listen that's fine it's not for everybody that's awesome but it is for most um

okay i got a few just quick hitters real quick. So it's Catherine's birthday this past week. Happy birthday, Catherine. Happy birthday, Catherine. We went to dinner. It was great. We came over here afterwards, which was really fun. When I got home, and I didn't get home that late, but I got home at 10 o'clock maybe,

and you guys were home. I was like, oh no. Brad and Catherine are over here to tell us they're moving to Texas. Really? You had that thought? I was like that, or they're pregnant, or like they were over here for an announcement. announcement that is why they're here there's a onesie on the couch next to us we're like jay fill in the blank yeah yeah yeah i forgot it was katherine's birthday and after you didn't announce anything for the first five minutes then i was like all right i'm good okay anyway i you

didn't announce anything it was a great night it was really fun we, really fun. We just, like, Catherine loves driving around. So after dinner, she's like, can we just drive around Kansas City? And just like, we just go to like fun. Like we went. You're like, yeah, there's a national gas shortage. Let's drive around in my truck for a while. Let's go. Let's go around.

Exactly. Let's burn the midnight oil, literally. We drove by kind of by your old house in Hyde Park. That area. And just, we love that area. Those houses are awesome. Yeah. So anyway, just driving around as we were going home, well, it doesn't matter, whatever we were like, I'm kind of curious where this fan of fan of ours lives. And so we drove past this girl's house and she's so close to you anyway. And then we were like driving by your

house and she's like, well, I've never seen the inside of their house. I've never like gotten to tour anything. And so I was like, let's go go in there and so i just opened up the door and kathleen's like brad you need to knock and so like after like making eye contact with isaac i like shut the door and knocked uh but anyway we just hung out there and it was really fun because we don't get to do that very often at other people's house yeah it's fun hanging out it was fun what there was something that we were laughing really hard about at one point. I can't remember what it was. Just probably making fun of Abby. I remember at one point, yeah, Abby said, well, and Abby hadn't said anything in 15 minutes. And she goes, well, everyone has a past.

That's right. And then didn't say anything else. I guess you kind of need to know the context of what we were talking about, but we gave her our time for that. Yeah. And then also, we got laughing pretty hard when I was telling that story. And I was like, and the thing is, we had no reason to be shameful. Well, yeah. I just told that story so bad. And I was like, and the thing is we had no reason to be shameful. Well, I just told that story so bad and everyone's like, Oh yeah, that's right. All right. You guys won't know what we're talking about, but it's six months from now. Happy 31st birthday,

Brad. Here's a story for everybody. I'll tell you guys the full story then. Oh man. So anyway, that was a good time. That was a quick hitter for you. Uh, another thing is how he taught me a new word today? Anytime your daughter teaches you a word, you got to say it on the podcast. We've said this since episode one. So do you know what the word horripilation means? I don't, but I believe it is a type of wooden canoe that the Native Americans used. Metal canoe that Native Americans used.

Dang. Oh, it was newer. It was newer. Yeah. No, at first I was like, are you saying something wrong? are you trying to say tribulation you know which i wouldn't pass it too yeah because earlier the other day she said parodial and i was like parodial she's like yeah you learned from a parodial from the bible oh almost i was like parable baby it's okay you idiot no i'm just kidding uh heripilation is uh when you have goosebumps you have heripilation

i was close ripplesipples, you know? Yeah, ripples in the water. All the colors of the ripples. Classic, very close to Henry kind of style. Like I say, hey, baby, how's your lunch going? She goes, heripulation. Just out of nowhere. I'm like, what does that mean?

And then she taught me. Something about Henry. So Becca Hagerman texted me this week she said two things she said one it got back to me that you mentioned me on the podcast appreciate it because she was like the listing agent for the house and two i grew up across the street from wiggins who's on the baseball team yeah she was like i can't believe it i don't know anyone on the baseball team the only guy i know is wiggins and it's because i grew up across the street from him all right well that's that's amazing.

She's like just two weeks ago. I found out he's on the baseball team. I didn't even know that until two weeks ago. Wiggins is Wiggins on the baseball team. I can't believe you used a real name that is a real person that Becca knows that was mentioned the only time she ever mentioned on the podcast. Yeah. So somebody in the YouTube comments was like, surely Tyler Cacciatore is a made up name.

Then I looked it up. Sure enough. How did I not know Tyler Cacciatore? OK, let's go and talk about Henry because he came over again today. Nice. I'm just like, thank you, Henry, for the podcast content. Then I looked it up. Sure enough. How did I not know Tyler catch story? Okay. Let's go ahead and talk about Henry. Cause he came over again today. Nice. I'm just like, thank you, Henry, for the podcast content. So once again, non sequitur to start the day, this one was a little bit better.

Like he got out of the car and he just goes, what a day. I like that. What a day, huh? And I didn't know what to say to that. I was like, yeah, Thursday. What a day. Yeah. I mean, it was like seven 45 in the morning.

He's coming to pick something up. And, uh, I think I told the, like the very first time he ever picked up a cutting board and I've talked about him on the podcast. Uh, he, he was like, look at that shimmer. Look at this. He did that exact same thing today. He's like, look at the shimmer on this thing, the shimmer. And he goes, he goes, you know, the French turners, they have a word for the shimmer of a wood like this. And I'm going to up actually actually will you i'll i'll text you this word um okay oh wait i forgot we gotta do some so many people bought merch i just refreshed there's so many people have bought merch really sorry um kinley tier link uh logan durham alissa cole love her whoa kiawana but with a q not with a k kiana kiwana yeah probably kiana that's my bad kiana kiwana oh yeah okay you know you're taylor clear mckayla carpenter dang leah pierce emily murray

joanne johnson jj isaac taylor emily lower mariah and lauren your biggest canadian fans that's a fun last name britney anger oh that's okay okay it's a good settle down uh mariana real yeah exactly how you pronounce it and oh wait and that's it that was the 1 p.m cut off okay okay sorry before that no shout out celia o'brien did you say that one yet we got some new ones right in the front here too i was gonna save those for later so we didn't know them all in one chuck so sorry guys yeah you have to see inside my brain like god does dang it come on uh anyway so did you look up that or i texted you that word but he's like you know they have a french word for this in the turning and i think just go ahead and play it if you can just look up uh look up the french french uh pronunciation of that french pronunciation he's just look at the shimmer i was like please say shimmer and he did

and it was awesome okay so do you want to say how he said it first you want me to say how google says to say it uh i think i'll try to i think he was like the chateau y'all i think is how he said he's like he's like moving this thing he like he was like let me goateau Yon. I think that's how he said it. He's like moving this thing. He was like, let me go get this in the sun. He's like, oh, yeah. They have a French word for this. I think it's Chateau Yon. Because as an English speaker, it looks like Chateau Yon.

Chateau Yon. Yeah. All right, here we go. Chateau Yon. Chateau Yon. Chateau Yon. He's like, oh, Brad, the Chateau Yon. Chateau Yon. The Chateau Y yance good for henry a little cultured so that

was that was perfect and then he always loves talking he's got this other property like farmland he's got all these trees on they loves cutting down that's what i always use for all the things i make for him is like his own wood that he's cut down and he's always talking about he's talking about the kentucky coffee beans he's got and he was telling me uh he's cut down. And he's always talking about, he's talking about the Kentucky coffee beans. He's got, and he was telling me, he's like, yeah, I got a couple of them.

And I always do the hug test on these things. I always do the hug test. Cause that, that way I know it's about 20, 22 inches. And so I love picturing Henry in a field by himself, just being like Kentucky coffee bean. Just,

and just wrapping himself around that thing. I can't quite get around it. He's like, if my fingers don't touch, I know I don't have 20, 22 inches. But he's talking about. Sweet Henry. He's talking about how he's been cutting down all these other trees because he's got this walnut that he loves. And the exact words he said were, he doesn't want the walnut to have to compete with any of these other trees. Obviously, he means like nutrients, I guess, which I don't even know if that's a real thing.

But I love the idea of like. They get jealous. Yeah, like this is his child. He's like, I don't want any other distractions around. I just want you to worry about yourself. Yeah, like he's afraid the trees could get clicky. Yeah, exactly. They could gang up on the walnut.

They could go to nightclubs without him and not invite him or something. Maybe. Yeah, so that was funny let's see another thing oh he also was talking about all the trees he's cut down all the wood he's got he's like yeah you know day ginger and i went out to dinner and i was calculating how much wood i had and i just love the idea of him going out on a date night with his wife and just having a piece of paper like hold on honey honey hold on hold on hold on i'm thinking i'm ginger i think we have i think we have 1200 1300 board feet here what do you think you check my math fried scallops for for appetizers huh he's just like i'll just i just love the idea of him like he could have done that

at home you get done at any time there's so many hours in a day he like specifically said i went out to dinner and i was calculated the board feet. So that was funny to me. And then last but not least, he brought up the baseball team again. And he's like, yeah, they're going down to Knoxville. They're playing Tennessee this week. It's not going to be pretty. He's like, I mean, they barely beat Arkansas State, Brad. And Brad, you know about their program. I mean, yeah.

And I'm like, yeah, that's crazy. So he's like, it's not going to be pretty. Their pitching is bad. And I'm like, yeah, that's crazy. So he's like, it's not going to be pretty. Their pitching is bad. And I'm like, your son's a pitcher. So anyway. That's a bummer. So old Henry is just continuing to just be a great guy and fun guy.

But anyway. Chateau. Chateau. Look at the Shema Chateau on that. So I'm normally not a very dreamy boy in both senses of the word, but I have been dreaming a lot this week or remembering my dreams. Literally dreaming, not dream. I don't know how you literally dream.

Dreaming in your sleep. Yeah, I mean, in two ways, I don't think people would classify me as like, oh, he's so dreamy. And I would also say I don't have many dreams. I thought I thought a third definition would be that you have hopes and dreams like Madison Square Garden, which I think you are a little bit of a dreamy guy. Yeah. Yeah. Big futuristic, you know, goal oriented type person.

You're dreamy, but you're not dreamy and dreamy. I would say I am dreamy, but I'm not dreamy. And you're not dreamy. And I'm not dreamy. But I've had three this week. Count them. Just like from Monday to Thursday, just three out of the last four days

that I remembered. So I sent one in our group text today that I was excited about the basketball game. I had a dream. Oh, yeah. That Jordan and Jalen both played in sweatpants and hoodies all game. That was a fun one.

That'd be swag. Yeah. I'm like, dang, that's got to be insulting. I didn't get crossed up by a guy carrying an extra six pounds on him. Uncle Drew style. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, dang, that's got to be insulting. Get crossed up by a guy carrying an extra six pounds on him. Uncle Drew style. Yeah.

Yeah. I also had a dream that Peter convinced me to work at CannaCut K1 with him this summer. We were co-counselors and a cab. We were just counselors. You know, I just went back, just, you know, start at the bottom again. Yeah. And nothing ever crossed my mind about this decision until I got there. We start meeting our kids and i'm just

like man i love these kids like i'm falling over this cabin's gonna be awesome and peter and i get to be counselors together and then i was like oh jake though you have you have like a job like you you shoot two podcasts a week yeah you would trace say does traven know you're doing this i'm like what was i thinking like no one knows i'm doing this i i started paying rent so i was just very reasonable in my dream and i was like gosh you have to tell peter that like i can't do this anymore how did i even how did he even convince me to do this i'm like he loves sophie at home peter's married yeah yeah so i was i got very reasonable and then that was so that's been like the current theme is like i'm pretty reasonable in my dream i get myself in these situations and i'm like jake it's not real

don't do this so the other dream was that um sunday night into monday morning uh trey was still in austin so he kind of gave me the day off he's like you just get caught up with some editing cool yada yada i've been in my dream i had used that day off to still go to trey's house and not just inside of his house, but inside of their bed. Oh. So I am laying in their bed on my computer. I think getting some work done. Under the sheets?

Under the sheets. Like I'm tucked in. Yeah, good for you. Yeah, it was cold. It was a little bit of a draft. Good thread count on those sheets? Oh, yeah. Egyptian cotton.

Yeah. They've already gotten some of their wedding gifts. Yeah, 850 count. Nice. So I'm getting some work done. Is that good? I don't think that they make them in 50s maybe i'm wrong i like to think thread counts like a credit score it's like whoa that's pretty good that's about as good as you can get the higher the better i don't know much beyond that what's how high does it go 1200 surely higher let's go uh instead of let's go 4 000 i was gonna oh i was gonna say more it's sat

1600 it's the best maybe they do the same skills the scts probably yeah no way of knowing where if you put your name on it you automatically get some points so i'm getting some work done and then i hear like a knock at the door which i don't know why they knocked because they're in their own home but then they just come upstairs and it's like jake what are you doing here yeah and then i just like i still don't know i'm in a dream but i am thinking to myself like i don't know and why yeah why did i sheets on me why did i do this is so weird why did i go to trey's house why am i in their bed and ask me the same questions i'm like i don't know yours look so innocent or i mean guilty like i i don't know i don't have an answer

for you yeah they're like why would you you had the day off why did you even come in i don't know why you're in our bed i don't know and then like how'd an answer for you. Yeah. They're like, why would you, you had the day off? Why'd you even come in? I don't know. Why are you in our bed? I don't know. And then they're like, how'd you even get in here? And I'm also like, I don't know. I think I prayed about it out loud. And then I just ended up in here and I woke up and I was like, oh, thank goodness. Oh, that would have been so awkward.

It never registered to you. Like, surely it's a dream. Surely. Oh, I never think that inside the dream. Really? It takes me about like 20 to 30 seconds after I wake up i'm like that was probably surely that's not real i don't think that would have happened okay where am i what is today i'm in my bed yeah that was a dream that was a dream it was so scary but i'm so reasonable once i get inside of them yeah

so did you have to write those dreams down or did you remember those like no i remembered them really i guess maybe because you don't dream that much you're not that dreamy yeah i feel like i've had i have dreams and i just if i don't write them down i forget them pretty quickly they say i remember reading something one time that you forget 50 of your dream within the first 60 seconds and you forget 90 of it after five minutes so that's why i don't i can't remember that much like i can remember the stuff at canicuck or basket like all i remember is that they were played in sweatshirts and hoodies yeah so i'm missing 90 of it man that's funny i i feel like i've had some dreams lately i can't remember any of them like i said but um melatonin i've taken melatonin every once in a while like just help me sleep and those dreams melatonin dreams

are always kind of like dark like not as really like not like terrible but like they're never fun dreams you know like basketball that's a great dream k1 pretty fun pretty fun until you realize like i'm kind of old for this i remember when i went to haiti and they offered us uh malaria medication like if you want to start taking this now uh but then i i did some research and kind of asked around if i were to get malaria they would just prescribe me the same thing so i'm like i'll just do it if i need it rather than like proactively because this type of medication i'm sure other people have taken this or at least know about it it gives you some crazy dreams and i was like no thanks i don't want these were people on the trip like like sleep talking or anything like that i remember

just the people taking it like i don't remember like logan cleaver i know you listen was it you you or ryan or mccullough someone was like yo i gotta get off this medication like it's just like it's crazy like what i'm going through it's like every night yeah and if you don't even have malaria who cares yeah interesting wow do you get the words let me just i get the words confused keratin like fingernails hair melanin pigmentation melatonin i get those all confused i don't know how to use any of them like i just did three times no i nailed it there because i i prepped beforehand a little bit i'm like let's get these straight right you know i'll be talking about

serotonin what's that one serotonin's like uh just naturally happy vibes i don't know the hormones whenever something is good i think serotonin is more like long-term joy and dopamine is like short-term happiness does that sound right oh i don't know maybe i was sports marketing major they didn't go over it that much i was just a market i wasn't even sports regular old marketing just regular place of bread uh but there's there's more there's like five or six that all have like n-i-n in it i'm like i don't i don't always say these wrong i didn't realize that dopamine was like a natural thing that you just your body releases like serotonin is oh yeah dopamine's like people feel all the time like when you're driving to your basketball game you're feeling dopamine or like when you're getting likes on instagram you feel dopamine oh that's what that is that's why

i think that's why it's temporary kind of like yeah yeah like life's don't last forever so you have to post another one i've never looked into, but I would guess that like drugs have the euphemism dope because of it gives you dopamine. Sure. Surely. That's the reason why. Surely. Surely.

Hey, sports marketing major. It wasn't even accredited. So what do I know? It was man. It was, it was fun paying that. Yeah.

Right. Still, still fun paying that degree. Yeah. They need to like pay you to come back and talk and like take a little off the top. That'd be nice. Like if they ever pay you to come back and talk and like take a little off the top. Yeah, that'd be nice. Like if they ever ask you to come back,

just be like, I will come back if you pay for all my student loans that I still owe. Yeah, let's talk. OK, six months of student loans. The payment I'm paying right now. All of them. All of them.

Who needs them? Holy cow. Just kidding. Do we need them? I do have some, one more thing, two more things written down. One is, I think there's a cat living on top of your car. Just kidding. Do we need them? I do have some, one more thing, two more things written down. One is, I think there's a cat

living on top of your car. Have you seen this? Dude, I was saying that girl who lives in my same neighborhood, we've seen the same cats. There are cats galore here. Really?

I'm sick of it. Yeah, I don't know what's going on. I just, as I pulled up, there were like all these paw prints going to the top of your car.

Yeah. There's cats everywhere. I don't know why it's so frustrating. It's even about the car just they're in the yard every time i come home there's like a cat in the yard not even the same cat it's this guy who lives like two houses down he just feeds them like crazy okay like i've seen it a couple times it'll have like 14 cats in his driveway i'm like man that's gotta add up these aren't even your cats these are just like stray stray cats you're feeding stop it what i don't know much about cats besides the fact that i do not like them but i do like that they eat mice yeah we still have this mouse problem we haven't seen the mouse in a long time i've

never seen it yeah i don't know it means her birthday so i'm gonna be nice to her but um like can i just take one of those cats for like a week yeah i would love for you to take one of these cats but if it's wild do i want it in my house probably not oh you would keep it in your just keep it in your basement just let it roam around back there yeah give it a litter box maybe yeah okay maybe and just hope the mouse comes down there yeah yeah yeah yeah okay that'd be fun that'd be a good adventure that'd be a good story for the podcast yeah let's scout them out this week tell me which one you think is like a fighter the most the hunter of the of the group yeah because i bet you have no mice at your house we don't i'll tell you you don't want the white cat white cat that gives me skittish vibes

i don't think she's a fighter you're gonna want one of the brown ones i really and that is in no way sure uh metaphor for any anything else that the white ones are skittish, but the brown ones are fighters. That is strictly about the cats. Okay, good. I will get one of the brown ones. Or any color. Do you think they would come to me if I... I hate cats, dude.

I hate them all. Do you think they have their claws still? Isn't that like a thing? They have to take... Yeah, I bet they got the claws. I'd be very shocked. That's fine. I'll have Catherine do it. What do you mean, have her do it? I don't know like a thing they have to take yeah i bet they got the claws i'd be very shocked that's fine if katherine do it what do you mean have her do it i don't know what if they scratch me oh oh yeah katherine's nice to cats they don't i don't think you've interacted

with cats much you're right because i the one time i have i got scratched really bad in the face i was like four i think cats are the most part give off hungry vibes to me most of my i'm looking at a cat i feel like they're looking at me like i'm only interested you have food i'm very hungry okay so if you got a little something in your car boom that's your cat now okay boom get in the trunk or in the bed truck bed wherever you want your cat okay i don't know i don't care it's your cat you ever had a cat oh yeah we had uh we had cats just show up at the house like at the farm we never like went and got a cat but we had one show up that had six toes on its uh on its paws we called it bigfoot on one yeah one six toes wow yeah it was awesome on one paw didn't know that was possible so we

had bigfoot we had oreo uh what that one looked like it was half black half white cool and i'm trying to think what else we had i guess this wasn't a cab we had a dog show up his name was black dog because we didn't think he was going to be around long enough to have a real name right he was just like oh that black dog's still running around he's a nomad he's a wanderer yeah started a coffee company in kent city i was there yesterday yeah yeah it's low it's it's uh underrated i think i think it's pretty good in the winter time it's a chilly coffee shop just fyi okay don't sit by the doors but in a backed room uh too quiet to really have much conversation so that's a chilly coffee shop just fyi okay don't sit by the doors but in the back room uh too quiet

to really have much conversation so that's a good spot for getting work done getting work done go to the back room okay um those are my thoughts i told you i saw trey there one time and i was like debating on what to tell him like what to say to him it was like before i was like ever like i had ever talked to him never met her before and so i thought about like and i don't even i think you were working for him at that point but like maybe not as much as you like you're like kind of exclusively working with him now that was probably before i was full time which is like once a week or something and i was i yeah i thought about making all these jokes about like oh are you the guy that uh makes videos for jake triplet you know like all this stuff but i've seen you

before yeah nice that's the end of the story get you a cat man okay just for like a week i don't want it i don't i don't want i i captain we're not getting a cat just temporary hey that's what we said about bigfoot that's right and then actually we didn't like fall in love with bigfoot he just wouldn't go away so that's how it happens okay okay let's do some voicemails all right let's do some what's up jake and brad is ryan from oklah Oklahoma once again I have a couple of things to say so I got to be really quick first of all just became a patron oh yeah definitely oh yeah come a patron it is awesome I haven't even watched five percent of the videos and I am loving them second of all I didn't know that Catherine went to baylor because my dad went

to baylor too and we love watching all their sports won state championship let's go so that was hype state championship state of america gotta wear it proud you know we gotta savor our wins because we always lose to ou which is very frustrating for me as an Oklahoman. And lastly, I wanted to say I'm so sad I'm not going to be able to come to your basketball game because I will be going to the Bahamas. I know I'm not trying to flex or anything, but it's going to be tight. And the question is, if you could be sponsored

by one company, what would it be? Okay. Ryan, I like you, dude. I do too. I have a fun thing. So yeah, yeah baylor it was fun to watch him win with katherine i was like trying to like get so excited with her yeah because she was obviously excited but the game was like they dominated the whole time yeah and so it wasn't like this like tense thing so anyway it was fun to watch with her but that reminded me of the chiefs win the super bowl which they did two years ago they They won state. Yeah, they won.

We're going to win state. And there's a Ghost Runners guy. I don't remember your name. I'm sorry. But he does this thing where you can get a discounted hat, but it's like a random hat. So you pay like 30% of the price for this new era hat, but they just send you a random one. They sent him a... What in the world?

I know. I don't know how... I forget what it's called. But they sent him a Chiefs Super championship hat oh cool and he's like hey would you be willing to uh or would you be interested in like exchanging one of the hats that you have like one of your random hats for this one i was like yeah sure that's awesome so he's sending me one i'm gonna send him one little hat trade-off sisterhood of traveling hats that's right so check it out sometime if you can figure out how to google that you should ask him if he's got a neighborhood cat you could have the

sisterhood of traveling cats as well a cat in a hat cat in a hat oh yeah that's good feeling it but feline it nice yeah so dang dang it how did i miss that that was good uh for you to be sponsored by anybody what would it be uh i don't know conoco seems like a good time idea i would like them to sponsor me right now uh philip 66 exxon more seriously probably like like something that yeah like i i will continue to use over and over again so like food drink or like uh maybe a company like trunk club or something okay like i don't want to just do like an ad read for a company like that but they were like they were they will send me nice outfits every month yeah that would be fun yeah that'd be very i don't have to you know and you have new new clothes always have new clothes that's good that

would be exciting i think i like the idea of being sponsored by aldi because i guarantee you no other no other like person that's even like that's their whole thing is like they're so simple that they don't sponsor anybody they don't advertise really. Like it'd be awesome to just have like, you know, like a race car. If I'm a race car driver, it just says all over the side of it. I think that'd be so swag. So all these, my answer, I just get free food for the rest of my life, which is something I'll, I promise I'll need forever. You'll probably keep using that. I think so. Yeah. And I can switch it up, you sometimes good apple sometimes good bananas who knows what so maybe some ethereum bitcoin yeah bitcoin sponsorship did you watch elon musk by the way on snl yeah i didn't i was in a place where i

couldn't watch for sound but i was i was reading the youtube comments of his monologue and everyone seemed like very positive and very like, really, I didn't know that he was like on the spectrum. I guess Elon has Asperger's. He revealed that. Yeah. Oh,

okay. So that's okay. I was like, the comments are really talking about it. So he mentioned it in the monologue. He's like, I'm the first SNL host to ever have Asperger's. Oh,

okay, cool. Yeah. Yeah. Which I didn't know that. Yeah, I didn't either. Um,

it was, it was funny to watch. Like I don't, I didn't know anything about Elon Musk really. Like it made me want to learn more and I haven't yet, but I want to look into him and like learn anything about Elon Musk, really. It made me want to learn more, and I haven't yet. But I want to look into him and learn more about him because you kind of intrigued me. He was really bad at acting, but he was so bad that it was funny because it's like, this guy's not an actor. Yeah.

This guy's not an actor. He's one of the smartest people on our planet. He's not even a performer. Peyton Manning wasn't an actor, but he knows how to party up to a crowd. Yeah, and he's comfortable around people and stuff. Elon Musk was just bad from what I saw but it was like funny how bad he was it would be weird if the same guy trying to inhabit mars was really good at acting that's kind of what he said in his monologue oh really he's like he's like listen i uh you know re revolutionize the electric cars and i'm trying to send people to space you think i'm some normal

chill guy something like that i saw that clip yeah exactly it would be very strange yeah because no one can do it all right right so yeah everyone's gonna have yeah so it was sort of shortcoming but apparently you said ethereum and he like dogecoin went down a bunch i was tanking as he mentioned it was like a fad or a hustle or something like that yeah and then went down a bunch and then he says like one thing and like skyrockets back up well that's the the old saying they always say they uh you buy the rumor you sell the news there you go so once it becomes news yeah people sell it there you go there it is thanks for coming to jake's crypto talk every tuesday morning oh yeah no how do we get there oh yeah sponsors yeah um good question ryan but yeah um aldi and some sort of clothing company in bitcoin and bitcoin yeah someone who makes tops and bottoms that's right for the bitcoin oh okay yo jake and brad what's up my name

is eli um i live on the east coast over here in west virginia and i just joined patreon the 15 dollars here so i'm excited to see what y'all got over there i got two quick quick questions for you uh one do y'all need anyone to edit video and or audio for Ghostrunners? I'm a music producer, mix engineer, and a videographer. And I know creatively it can be tough to stay creative when you have to edit. And I just like to take that load off of y'all. So hit me up. We'll talk business later. But my second quick question is, how can I get my wife to listen to the Ghostrunners? I told her about it and I played her a little bit of it and she wasn't very interested,

but what should I do? Should I just lock the car and force her to listen to it? Yes. Yes. What? I want to hear some of y'all's ideas. Um, anyways,

love the podcast. Keep it going. Y'all make my week better. Peace. Thanks Eli. Eli. Uh, Eli,

we have Justin. Yeah. Come on. I, Hey hey what's your price eli we got a bidding war here i was kidding justin's our one and only he's he's the guy just just in time for the job just in just in case we need him he'll be there then just in case something happens to justin we have eli okay all right that right. That's right. We do have a, I've had many times where like I've had issues like uploading my videos and stuff been in places that doesn't have good wifi. And he's very patient, at least over text. Who knows in real

life? What are you thinking? Infuriated in person. He's the man. Justin's the man. Eli, I'm sure you're great. And maybe down the road, we'll hire you for other videos that we have that aren't YouTube or something. I don't know. Come move toansas city and vlog for brad and i there you go you could make a hype video like a preview for our basketball game eli come to kansas city may 27th and make a video for us dude oh that'll be your what if what if eli i know you're thinking about justin's gonna be there too oh battle oh yeah video. It's like Firefest on Hulu, Firefest on Netflix. Who's better? So I would love that. Okay.

I have some thoughts. I think if you like make her listen to it and be like, this is funny, listen to it. That's not the right environment to like enjoy comedy. That's not going to work. So I think what I would do

is like peruse our Instagram, like our Instagram clips. And there's got to be something on there that is like a conversation that you've had before with your wife or something similar like hey remember we were talking about this like here's this podcast i like like see what they were saying too yeah and then you just let her go yeah you let her watch it you just dm it to her on instagram sure and then she can watch it in her own space whenever she's like ready to watch a funny video right and then what'd she do from there she likes that one she's like let me scroll down a little

bit that's okay that was kind of funny yeah yeah that was kind of funny and then she's in that's a strategy that's a good idea because i think i think part of it's like thought of you like if it's any if it's if there's any kind of connection personal connection to somebody that's what i think people love about us is that they say that we're relatable and so if you say hey i thought of you with this amish jams joke because you grew up you know with a lot of people and you had you had a bowl cut you, you tried that out supposedly, uh, because it was ironic. Um, but you know, whatever it is like, then, then it's not only like, Oh, you know, this is a funny podcast, but it's like, Oh, it's a funny podcast that my husband also thinks about

me with this thing. So I think that's good. But I agree with you completely, especially my wife. If I ever am like hey we're gonna listen to this thing if she's not in the mood she's not gonna like it like it's just you gotta like send it to people like hey whenever you're like in the mood to watch a video you should check this out it's really funny yeah or like on a road road trips are a great spot because the the time is less precious it's like yeah we got six hours here let's let's give this thing a chance for an hour and if it's not good that. Yeah. Or because I think part of our thing is that you have to get to know us. You have to know who we are. Yeah. Like the personality. I don't, I would, I would be

interested to hear how people's, uh, experiences are with us, but I don't know if like the personality right away is like, I love these guys right away. You know, funniest guys ever. Yeah. I would be surprised. Like, obviously we're fun people, but there's inside jokes. There's whatever, all these different things. So I don't know the answer, obviously, we're fun people, but there's inside jokes. There's whatever, all these different things. So I don't know the answer, but I know the answer is not force it on them, like you said. So it's a fun, fun. If you have answers to these questions, leave us a five-star review. Comment on Patreon.

Comment on YouTube. Send us a voice memo. Something. LSCustomCreations. LSCustomCreations.com. Thanks, Eli. I can't wait for the video shootout May 27th. Yeah. See you then. Shootkscustomcreations.com. Thanks, Eli. I can't wait for the video shootout May 27th. Yeah.

See you then. Shootout. Jake and Brad. It's Clintonius here. I said I was back and I left you guys hanging. I apologize about that, but okay. So I got three weeks left there of high school and then I'll be furthering my education, man. But I wanted to ask you guys

how I should live my last three weeks I've lived the last you know four years of I'm down being part of the boys and stuff with Z but should I be a bully for the last three weeks should I be a nerd should I be a jock should I be a cheerleader I just I want? I want to experience some different parts of high school. But I apologize again just for being away from you guys when I promised I was going to be there. So if there's any questions you want to ask me to catch up, hey, I got my notes out. You guys ask me some questions. I'd love to answer them for you. All right.

Best get moseying now. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. That was like the nastiest sounding toilet. Yeah, I've got a question. How did you make the toilet sound that loud? Just put it right out there. Yeah, like, did you go from here to, like, you had to put that in the bowl. That was so loud.

Yeah, it reverberated out there. That was such a nasty toilet flush. Yeah, get back to us on how you made that sound. That was impressive. Hey, Jake and Brad, it's Clintonius here, and yeah, basically, I just put it right up in there. Put it right where the water's coming in. The trick is actually to put it on the top of the bowl.

No. Okay, he asked what kind of person he should be. And I like the idea of, let's ask him some questions, too, just in general. Let's ask him some questions. So first and foremost, how'd you do that with the toilet? How'd you do that with toilet water? I think the answer of let's ask him some questions too, just in general. Let's ask him some questions. So first, first and foremost, how'd you do that with the toilet water? Um, I think the answer is just like, just be like a guy in a high school musical or something like where you're a

jock, but you're also kind of musical on the side. You got an artsy side. And so all of a sudden, like, yeah, everyone thinks that you're this like bad boy. And all of a sudden you just start singing that.

That's surprising people. Clint, you just break out in the song every once in a while. I, I really liked that. I think you should dress up as a like like a tiktok e-boy i'm sure you're in high school clint you're gen z you know what e-boy looks like and i mean literally pierce pierce your ears and like put like a cross earring in them paint your fingernails black middle part your hair like dress exactly like little huddy like dress like him and show up to school and then pretend like it is not really that different or that out there for you and you say like what i'm just like i don't know the school's just like

hold me back from like what i've been like wanting to do and i just think like college is going to be good for me and i'm just trying to get ready for college. I'm done pretending. Yeah. I'm done pretending. Yeah. Huddy never heard of him. There he is. Yeah.

It looks like he looks like a 2021 version of Rufio from hook. You ever see that movie? Okay. Yeah. Now think about Clinton. Tony is looking like that. He looked good. Nice Clint.

I think, I think you get the, I'm down boys in on it and somehow let's combine. I just liked the idea of like breaking out into song, but like kind of setting up this situation that seems like it's a random situation, but in reality it's like you really curated this situation for like, uh,

you know, it's pizza day in the cafeteria and you just dropped your pizza cause somebody accidentally bumped you. And then you have a very specific song about dropping my pizza. My pizza fell flopped on the ground yeah yeah whatever it is like musical style yeah and then like at first it's just you and then the i'm down boy start coming in as a chorus with you on the ground flopped on the ground flopped on the ground oh clint's pizza's on the ground yeah like a whole like whole like little show. Yeah. Like a flash mob, essentially.

Yeah. Like they've got mops. That's what I was doing with my hands. I love. Oh, okay. They're mopping. Like kind of stomping. Yeah.

Mop that flop. Mop the flop flop. Yeah. I like it. So something like that. While you're looking like this Lil Huddy guy. So that's fun. That could also be.

Yeah. Yeah. You and all your friends dress up as like the Sway House and then never address it. Or Hype House. You dress up as all of thoseway House and then never address it or Hype House. You dress up as all of those guys and then do a musical. Is Lil Huddy in one of those houses? He's got to be. Okay.

I don't know. He's a good looking guy. Thank you. Yeah. He looks like Teddy Geiger. Anybody ever remember him? He was that one who tried on women's skin. Yes.

No. Who's Teddy Geiger? He had that old country music song. He was on One Tree Hill at some point. He's a musician. He's a musician. Okay. Some girls out there

that are 28 to 35 years old know who Teddy Geiger is. He's the fire in our town. And had a passionate crush on Teddy Geiger. Teddy Geiger. Yeah. We'll play Teddy Geiger

at the end of this episode too. We'll play it on. Anyway. Anyway, Clint. That's fun, Clint. Let's ask Clint some questions. Let's ask Clint some questions. So first off, Toilet.

Clint, do you ever have any discoloration in your gums? Oh, okay. That's fun, Clint. Let's ask Clint some questions real quick. Oh, let's ask Clint some questions. So first off, toilet. Clint, do you ever have any discoloration in your gums? Oh, okay. Wow, that really threw me off. Just a fun question. You go ahead and go again. I wasn't expecting the gum question. That was what I was going to use. I would say like, what's your preferred style of cup?

Yeah, good. You want straight up and down? You want a little like diagonal to it? What kind of hangers are you using? I'm curious. I have passionate opinions about hangers. good you want straight up and down you want a little like uh diagonal yeah to it what kind of hangers are you using i'm curious yeah i have passion like passionate opinions about hangers i bought hangers last week what kind and i was there i was like do i need nice hangers and i was like no i got the cheapest ones they offer okay plastic i'm assuming plastic you're assuming correct okay did they have the ridges no ridges just straight just smooth plastic baby good for

you swing low sweet chariots, right? Okay, good for you. So what kind of hangers you using? What kind of cups you using? What kind of do you pee or blow your nose in the shower? Are those things you're comfortable doing at the same time different times or neither times? Yeah That's good, can you pull off a backwards hat can you can you dive because i can't dive diving's tough i look like a fool patreon maybe i'll die i'll die for the patreon sometime this summer let's have a diving contest all right that's bad it's bad clint clint doesn't seem like a diver well then again he does the he does the thing with his uh wheelchair wheelies yeah wheelchair so maybe he can dive that's right maybe he can dive all right

few more jacob bradley it's knack backs knack back you um we've been talking about claiming titles and uh i think i think i want to be the minister of memes i think i've earned this um so this is what i this is what i am. I claim this minister of memes all hail the meme King until somebody else claims it. And then it's theirs. And you know, that's just the way it is. Um, actually for the Reddit people, whoever's running the Reddit, if we could like do flares next to our names for, um, whatever position we're holding. So if I could get minister of memes, um, or if the girl for Amelia last week could get barista, um, for her flare.

And then whenever somebody claims the flare or steals it or whatever, they can, or claims the position, they can get the flare next to their name. Um, I think that'd be kind of fun. No questions. This is all goodbye.

Uh, thanks. I looked it up. I kind of understood no questions this is all goodbye uh thanks nag backs i looked it up i kind of understood from context but user flare is a special tagging system that you can choose to enable for your community yeah it's kind of fun like in the like uh nfl subreddit everyone's flare is like which team you root for okay so it's kind of fun to see like oh this is like a chiefs versus browns fan talking about or like it also alleviates or no notates, it like allows you to use like possessive pronouns. So it's like, yeah,

we were hoping to draft him in the second round. And like, who's saying this? Oh, it's a Bengals fan. Sure. It's kind of fun. That's cool. Yeah, so great idea. Mr. Memes, you deserve it.

Also kind of random, obviously Knackbacks gets mentioned a lot on the podcast. You know, he's one of our good friends. I got to meet him in Louisville. Kentucky Coffee bean. He, he was not the first person to order merch, but for some reason he was the first, uh,

like merch that was like fulfilled by our company. So you ordered the dad caps. Those were the first ones. First things to go out. Yeah. He was the first person to order a hat. And so he will have his hat the day this episode is coming out. Let's hope so,

which is kind of cool we're finally getting good stuff shipped out on time yeah heck yeah new company new vibes new vibes so yeah when i saw it i was like no way like our only fulfilled thing right now is it's perfect nicholas butler of course it is old knackbacks okay uh no questions he said yeah all right move on this is only 13 seconds but let's listen hi jake and br Jake and Brad.

shaka guide for the road to hana clutch we also use the guide to go up to the Halakalea volcano, which is pretty cool. And I'm not sure. I don't think you mentioned this on the podcast, but there's a place in Kihei on Maui called the cinnamon roll place. Next time you're in Hawaii on Maui, you need to go to the cinnamon roll place. It's on South Kihei road and it's so bomb.

Also, my question is for Jake compliments for Brad question for Jake, Jake, I really want to get into standup. Do you have any tips or pointers? Thanks. You guys are really funny. Okay.

wife yeah good for them uh alex i will try to do my best, but I don't know. I mean, I was kind of like spoon fed a lot of these opportunities via Trey. So attach yourself to an influencer right when he's thinking about getting a stand of comedy. No, more seriously. I mean, like reps, repetitions on stage or your friend. You know, I think the more opportunities you can get to perform in front of crowds, especially cold crowds will humble you and sober you up a little bit you know you think you're pretty funny until you

perform for six comedians who are all in their 40s and you know they hate their jobs and they're just there to try and like get a free drink and tell a couple jokes for three minutes there you go but that's actually i would i would suggest like find a good open mic don't just do an open mic just to say you did it like there's someone in kansas city that's like nothing good will come of this because yeah it is i'm only performing for six comedians waiting to go up after me it's like jerry seinfeld couldn't make these people laugh like it's so just uninviting and just cold and yeah they're not helpful transactionally probably they're like they're they're just looking to you for you to get done so they can get up there kind of thing so i'd say ask around Google call even,

and try to find good open mic nights where there's people, there's going to be people there who are there for some comedy and they're on a Friday night and it's still open mics and their, their bar is low and, uh, be ready to be humbled. There, there have been times when I am like,

I feel like I'm in a, I'm in a game night scenario. I have a room full of 12 people just dying laughing at this premise that I have. And I'm like, gosh, I can't wait to use that on stage. And then it just does not work on stage. It's like, dang, that made everyone laugh so hard. So you just never know. I guess that's what I'll say.

You never know what is funny, what isn't funny. A stage is just, it's the hardest form of comedy I've ever done. It's really hard. I'm probably not firing you up to do this, but it's very difficult. But I'm sure there's a difference between like like sometimes you have to establish credibility with somebody before you're funny with them like like that joke you tell at a game night they all know who you are a little bit yeah yeah yeah whereas like you're some guy that they didn't even pay like they're they're paying to see trey you know for the most

part and then you're up there they don't know who you are yeah and so like if the content is not already like amazing for you in my i know i know you've done this not me but that just makes sense to me of like that would be harder for you to like break the barrier whereas trey he gets up there he might say the exact same joke you do and i think he'd probably tear the house down because it's like oh trey's hilarious oh yeah you know i mean i think that's kind of life with a lot of things a lot of people in the in the entertainment industry, like it almost gets easier, the more popular you get. Oh, sure. You build a rapport, you know, like it's hard to make 10 people laugh at a tiny open mic night and separately, not even because they don't know you, but because it's 10 people in a big room. But if you get popular enough to where you're filling up a theater of twenty five hundred people, then it's easy to make them laugh because it's twenty five hundred people in a sold yeah that's so easy oh yeah the energy is there yeah exactly exactly so it's only gonna get easier uh so rip that big old band-aid off i know that this is like yeah off the top of your head but like what about like some like practical joke writing advice do you have anything like that

like like here's what i do i do more of like you know i tell a story and then whatever or like i'm i'm more I don't know anything like that like when you're writing your stuff I would probably be a better comedian if I did know a lot of stuff like all right so here's what you do but I didn't know if it was like yeah I'm sure there's methods out there but I didn't know if it was like you noticed yourself being like oh that was funny so I'm gonna I don't know I didn't know if you like wrote it in a certain way or anything like that not really I mean do you write it that's another thing or is it like a bullet point thing where you're like oh no i know how to do this joke i'd say rarely i

don't i don't do many bullet points i i write it all out just so i can time it too like how long is this going to take me to say this um so yeah write it all out memorize it like it's a speech in ninth grade again where you know every word that you're going to say there's no room for us us um stutters whatever and uh i would try to also like count how many like seconds are going to go by between laughs like you've got this great story it's got a great punchline at the end how can you build laughs into the setup like maybe we need to fabricate some things maybe we need to add in some things where like then the pressure isn't all on like all right it's been two minutes story all for this punchline this better be good yeah that's

good you're making them laugh it's like a staircase it's like we're building up we're building up and it's it's fun the whole right up right um so that and then just misdirection it's just a classic yeah you love that um that's a fun and easy way to like make people laugh you get them going one way you know then you switch them up or like on patreon the the bill and melinda gates jokes were funny dude oh thanks and that last one misdirection yeah i'll just say that leave it at that yeah so thanks i forgot i said those yeah i laughed hard thanks i don't usually i felt loud at podcasts but i laughed a lot at that part wow thanks yeah um okay is there some advice oh and looky here jennifer lindsey sent another one but it's funny other people like sent in voice memos between so she so she's like i think i need to try again i think i end up sending that one in

yeah she took a couple days off i was like all right i'm ready to i'm ready to go again all right jennifer let's see uh let's see how round two oh my gosh jennifer calling from columbus ohio i always love a good road trip and exploring new places i've never been to kansas city so it seems like a good time to come out and watch you guys play basketball. It also feels a little bit crazy to come out and watch two strangers who feel like friends play rec league basketball for an evening. But hey, sounds like a good time, and I'm always down for an adventure. Plus, after you guys get the dub, if all the ghosties go out and just grab a few drinks, that might be the first iteration of just drinks for ghosties.

Yeah. Also you two are probably the greatest Hawaii aficionados I have never met. So what would it take for one and or both of you to plan a trip to Hawaii this year for ghosties or just people in general? And how do I get invited? If you need an investment, Jake, take those $5 that you sent me on Venmo back instead of my first $5 toward Hawaii.

Let's make it happen. I'm very serious about that. Good luck and aloha. That was jam-packed. Yeah, really. No wonder she was practicing that. She wrote every word of that down. Like a ninth grade speech.

Ohana to you and yours. Yeah. Okay, so yeah, I Venmo'd her in my Just Jake episode last week. I had said like a random grade speech ohana to you and yours yeah okay so yeah i've been mode her in my just jake episode last week i had said like a random movie quote i'm like maybe this is popular maybe this isn't first person to tell me what it's from i'll venmo you five bucks and then she was the only person who did it so venmo to five bucks dang should have done it yeah did you know i did really yeah i like i owned that movie good for you seen it disney. Disney's seen it on DVD. I love the idea.

I think I love the idea. Maybe it would be weird going on a trip full of people and they all know everything about me and I don't know anything about them. That'd be fun, though. Yeah, I would love it. We love getting to know people. Yeah, no matter what. It'd be fun. I think I would always enjoy doing anything with anybody else.

That's that's just a blanket statement. That's always true. I think my blanket statement is I will do anything with anyone in hawaii yeah you can't not have a good time in hawaii it's impossible yeah that's a good idea jennifer and it sounds like she's coming to the basketball game okay so we'll talk about it more at the basketball yeah that's such a good idea we go out for drinks yeah but just drinks just drinks just drinks afterwards yeah so like we're thinking apps desserts no nope just drinks and if anybody doesn't order just drinks they're done you're out well i like bavarian pretzels sorry it's just

drinks sorry no mozzarella sticks for you no way nacho platter jennifer you gotta come bring your friends bring a friend bring your mom bring you a hey bring cheryl bring your mom huh maybe drive her miata down here if her name if your mom's name is cheryl she's gonna be creeped out by that she drives a miata i'm gonna be a little creeped out by that if they drive if i drive a little miata all the way over we're here oh it's gonna be great may 27th may 27th two basketball games and just drinks and who knows what else yeah it's It's going to be awesome.

So Haley Falls, shout out, love it.

Shout out. What is, do you think, like a fun thing that you could yell at a waterfall? It's kind of loud and like beautiful people around you. That's a good question. What is something profound, maybe funny to say at a waterfall? Let me know. Love the pod. Thanks so much.

Bye-bye. What's her last name? She got one? Just Rekia. I think people are just all looking at the waterfall and just no context. It's really funny. Rekia, party of three.

Rekia, party of three for Rekia! Party of three for Rekia? I like that. I think that's kind of funny. That's kind of funny. Yeah. It's kind of profound in its own way. Yeah. Party of three.

And they're like, what's the, what does she mean by party? Holy Trinity, baby. She had dinner right now? Yeah. Anything you want. It's your party. You interpret it how you want. First thing i thought

of was michael in the woods yelling i have hemorrhoids same idea i think it would be fun to give an update on your vaccinations okay i'm not vaccinated yell that at the waterfall or wherever you're at i have the tetanus though yeah. The hib. Something with like a... Maybe it's like you're shouting at like an ex-boyfriend or something. Yeah, that's good. Ryan! Oh! Ryan!

It stings what's ryan doing to her it's like what's this girl going through right now at this waterfall it stings it stings ryan oh it hurts i think no i think you i think you say

it stings but you say it really excited like it's a positive thing you know sometimes like it's like people say like negative things but it's a good thing like oh baby this one stings like something like that just get really excited about how much it stings oh this this stings this thing right here dude big old stinger this one stings different oh you guys feel it yeah or just say something like let's get some vibes in here i think you you like get down on your knee and you you act like you're gonna say something real quiet and you just say, you're not my dad. I don't know what that means necessarily, but that's a funny thing to yell.

I like the idea. What if you're like, uh, like, do you think that this waterfall has a place to swim at the bottom? Maybe she said it's big waterfall. Like, I'm imagining there's a spring at the bottom. If there's not, that doesn't work. Okay. I guess it can, it can work wherever.

Like, like frantically just act like you see something and like and like run towards it like scale down to get there you know like if there's a scale down the waterfall not the scale down the waterfall scale down like the path or whatever to get down to the spring and then and then you like dive down in the spring and you get back up you're like i found it and then you put up your two and you go i got some vibes in here dude but just like you gotta like really really act it out to like get to that point and then all of a sudden just put up the v for vibes that's a great last answer okay let's end it with that one i found it there's these vibes right here the whole time that's right you you believe that oh that's funny thank you guys

You know. Yeah. Okay, let's do our review of the week. Except I am going to do. Remix. Yeah. We just got a really sweet YouTube comment this week that I would like to honor from Amy.

Spelled A-I-M-E-E. Like Amy, spelled A-I-M-E-E. Like, hey, A-I-M-E, please. Mm-hmm. Message me back. Amy. Amy. Amy. She said, hey, Chicken Brad, I just wanted to drop a line and tell you guys thank you

for your content. I've been listening to your podcast for over a year now and have enjoyed every Monday morning more than I ever thought I would. Additionally, I just became a patron member yesterday. Hey. Not sure why it took me so long. I don't know. Anyway, Brad, I just want to say thank you for your travel tips.

Do you get a lot of love on the travel tips, dude? Ever thought I was a little travel boy? No. I'm going to Manhattan, Kansas this weekend. I'm not even dreamy. Yeah, look at you. And I'm going to, what do we call it? What was it?

Madison Square, Greenville. Madison Square, Greenville this weekend. Where am I on this page? You'll figure it out. I loved visiting Kansas City and trying out all the spots. I just recently got back from a trip to Maui with friends. It was fantastic. I never went to the cinnamon roll shop, though.

Just kidding. She didn't say that. Jake, your life dilemmas are so relatable and genuinely hilarious. Thank you. Back in February, I had a brain surgery for a tumor, and a few days later, laughing in ICU at that week's episode. All of my monitors went off, and the nurses asked me what was so funny. As of today, no one would know I had surgery.

I was playing tennis last night. Oh. In parentheses. But I'm still laughing with you both every week. Maybe I will figure out how to DM you guys over Patreon. Yeah. Cheers. Nice.

That's really sweet, Amy. Amy. That is cool. Sounds like you have a great attitude and are dealing with everything wonderfully. Yeah, that's always cool to hear when people are like, yeah, going through anything, but especially like big surgeries. Brain surgery.

Golly. Glad we could be there among other things in your life. Yeah. Okay, my YouTube comment of the week is from Braden Ayers. It's a little more of just a chill one, but it's fun. It's a fun one to think about. He said, I can't wait for a nationwide Ghost Runners tour in a few years. I'm picturing hundreds of people,

thousands if we're at MSG, I'm grateful, picturing hundreds of people chanting slash singing along with Brad to the intro song, a huge dance party, and one of Jake's raps. That's probably what heaven's going to feel like. And then I come out in my baggy

cargo pants because they're cool again i'm like you know ghost runners podcast every morning podcast and then hattie like peeks out from behind the stage she goes ghost runners podcast the crowd goes nuts and then the bass drops and then it's like and it's a party dj haddie uh actually last when we were coming back from texas katherine played because we were coming back on monday katherine played the new episode she was in the back with haddie and at that part haddie literally was like ghostwriters podcast like she like knows it she loves it yeah dang so it's really cute she's like i'm on the radio that's right she's cool like that she is cool like that i'm cool like that it's really cute.
