Welcome back everyone to one of my favorite podcasts. This is episode 109. We're very excited. We're recording this in the basement of Reactor Studio, downtown Kansas City. Heck yeah. And you guys know there's been a lot of momentum building up to this day. I think for five weeks now we've built up this championship basketball game that we were hoping to make it to. Hot dog. Last night was the night. They were actually selling hot dogs in the stands. They were selling hot dogs.

Hot dogs. There's a guy there. The sausage. What is, yeah, can you try to do his accent? That guy who's going up and down the stands. What did he sound like? Hey, get your hot dogs in the stands. They were selling hot dogs. Hot dogs. There was a guy there. The sausage. Yeah, can you try to do his accent? That guy who was going up and down the stands. What did he sound like? Hey, get your hot dogs here. Yeah, he sounded like that. I got fresh buns.

Yeah, he sounded like that, but his name was Craig, which was weird. Yeah, I was like, are you Italian? Yeah, you didn't do it right. So he was there last night, hot dogs. And, you know, people came in from all over last night. I mean, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania. San Diego.

Olathe. Olathe, Kansas. Yeah. City of champions. All over people came. We had over 90 people in the audience. South Carolina, yeah. Yeah.

Nebraska. That's good, Brad. Iowa. Missouri. So we had over like 90 people in the audience. It was electric. We win the semifinal game. It was a pretty close game the whole time.

Got a little nerve wracking. A little bit. The point. I love him. But we push through just like I'm going to. We made it to the championship game. We get a rebound with 2.7 seconds left. We're down by one. We have an opportunity to put up a half court 2.7 seconds left we're down by one we have an opportunity to put up a half court shot

shot goes up and air ball we lost in front of everyone Me too. Midwest best friends. Eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun, and go ahead, get on your feet, because it's the Ghost Runners Podcast. Every Monday morning with Jake and Brent. Ghost Runners Podcast. Ghost Runners Podcast. But it's not all sad.

We've got a live studio audience in here today in the basement. Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's cool. That is cool. Let's do it one more. We got a live studio audience, baby. Flip.

Oh, so fun. Yeah, we got lots of people here from all over the place. We're so appreciative of you guys coming and hopefully it'll be a good show be a fun time yeah i think we uh it's a it's a good week to have people here for a couple reasons one one you know this not to start out on this note been a probably the heaviest week of my life since we've started the podcast like you could yeah you could hardly lift yeah your biceps are tired it's just been heavy i don't know why i've just been carrying all these heavy things for some reason i I mean, bricks in the backpack.

I think yesterday I was telling you, I was like, I'm so glad we're doing this this week because this is the first time in Ghost Hunters history that I have nothing written down. I don't even know why I have my notes app open. There's nothing on it. Really? There's nothing in here. I have nothing written down. I've had so much other stuff going on within the last 24 hours.

Feeling the new energy from the new people. And we're going to be playing a bunch of games all episode, which is great because I came swinging with nothing. And so, yeah, it should be fun. We're going to get a lot of interaction with people here. So it should be a good time. But before we get into that, how was your week? Week's been fun.

Obviously, it culminated last night with just one of the most unique experiences of my life. We can get to that. But, yeah, yeah, two really, really great highlights actually. Uh, first one was Hattie and I went to, uh, her first professional sports game ever. We went to sporting Casey soccer game and it was so much fun, dude. Like I didn't know what to expect because a, it's like super loud B it was like, I think it started at seven 30, which is like her bedtime, but I pumped her up. I like hattie like they have all this really good food there they have snow cones they have french fries i was like and you know what i'm gonna be really nice i'm gonna let you get two different things and so she's like

i'm gonna get french fries and chips and i was like don't do that you know yeah they're both yellow yeah mix it up a little bit and so uh it was so much fun though dude she had so much fun like seeing the fireworks go off. We had these awesome tickets hooked up from a ghost runner listener that works for sporting cool guy, Sammy. And, um, just, it was so cool. And so it was like, it was like one of those moments where it's like, I remember doing this with my dad, not soccer. Cause I'm a man, but, um, just kidding. Uh, I remember doing this with my dad, going to Royals games, going to chiefs and basketball, like KU basketball games and stuff.

And it's like so special to like be able to like see her excitement for that kind of stuff. And so that was really special. She stayed the whole night. She like, and we won, Sporting won. It was like the first full capacity game I'd been to. And I don't even know when. And it was so, it was so electric. It was so fun.

She loved, most of the time she was just drinking her icy snow cone kind of thing, but that was awesome. And then another like great like dad moment, like as my kids get older, Bo got a Fisher-Price basketball goal for his, oh yeah, I know, it's so sweet. He got a Fisher-Price basketball goal for his first birthday and the entire family on like Tuesday or Wednesday morning, we were all just like sitting in our living room

or standing in our living room, shooting hoops on this basketball goal. It was like Nirvana for me. Like Scott's in the crowd. Scott, you know, is one of my longest friends. I would say you are my like tallest, longest friend. I don't know, like longest, no, I'm just kidding. Since kindergarten.

And we used to always play full court, one regular size basketball hoop, one Fisher-Price hoop. And like, so the Fisher-Price basketball goal is like a huge part of our childhood. And to like, see it, like, like see my kids enjoy it. Even Bo, like it was just, it was so much fun. That's awesome. I'm glad you got all those special moments. Yeah.

There is something to be said though, like your dad took you to baseball and you took Hattie to soccer. Like, can you, how much can you bond if at the end of the game they can still tie? Yeah, I know. If no team wins or loses and you're just sitting there disappointed. I taught her a lesson on mediocrity at that point. Like, no, we're not gonna settle for this. Yeah, we're not gonna settle for soccer.

Yeah, it's not good enough to tie. Yeah, luckily they won three to one. They were losing one to zero. This is kind of crazy. Soccer, I'm not a big soccer guy, but the first half, sporting. Really? You have kind of that soccer figure.

People say that about me. Yeah. People say I can fill up a goal pretty easily. No, but they Scotty loves it back there, dude. No, but the first half, Sporting had 10 shots, zero goals. Other team, Houston

Dynamos, one shot, one goal. That seems rare. So they were losing one to zero. It didn't seem fair but sporting second half came about came alive lose two i can't we won three one did you use that as like a teaching lesson for hattie i should have she was still knee deep in her curly fries she couldn't believe that was the other thing like she had never seen curly fries before she was like dad look at this thing like a spring she's like oh my gosh yeah so really she just ate food the whole time i don't know if she really watched the game have you ever i know hattie hasn't really been

growing hair that long but whenever her hair is long enough to curl her hair you can be like you want to have curly fries and you can like make them like bounce in her hair yeah my sister would always curl her hair before gymnastics meets okay and i was always like i don't know if this is like a better looking version of you but you seem to like it yeah it's different yeah yeah it's put together in a different way. She would have to like, she would shower and then just wrap her head in a ball and then sleep with these like curlers in her hair or whatever.

Yeah. Normal. Is that like a thing? Really? That's crazy. That's how you get credit. That seems so like, then you,

where does she sleep on? What part of the head? On a massage table, face down. It's the only way. Yeah. It's the only way. Just spread. He wakes up spread it wakes up but just like yeah marks all over her face oh that's awesome but yeah anyway had a lot of fun with hattie uh some fun dad times so

that's cool those main two things i don't know what it was about that that just reminded me but yesterday it was kind of fun i uh you know i had a lot of stuff going on right before the game i was like hey i'm gonna grab a tripod because we're adding a third camera for tomorrow i'm gonna grab an extra tripod for tomorrow brad do you do we need anything else oh yeah and i won't tell you what brad told me to get necessarily i go to target and i know where the camera section is going to be so i get the tripod so imagine me holding a tripod already and then i've got an extra camera battery that i needed so i've got these two things and then i can't find battery that I needed so I've got these two things

and then I can't find it so I have to ask someone with these two things in my hand what Brad wanted me to get and it was do you guys have zip ties and scissors and like while I'm holding a tripod like oh that's kind of a bummer you have like bleach as well as well like I don't know what I'm gonna be doing yeah I Yeah. Got whipped cream. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Strawberry jam. Strawberry jam, yeah. Throwback. Oh, wow.

Sounds fun, so thanks for setting me up for that. I had no idea yet. Zip ties are tough, though. Outdoors section? No idea. Home supplies? Grilling? Home office? Yeah.

Grilling? Is that? I don't know. No. To connect, you know, the gas. No, I don't know. Okay. Yeah.

Where was it? It's near the electrical outlets. No. Really? Okay. Who knew? And also, fun don't know. Okay. Yeah. Where was it? It's near the electrical outlets. No. Really? Okay. Who knew? And also, fun fact, Brad, in my head, I was thinking, I'm getting the tripod for tomorrow morning.

Do we need anything else? It wasn't spoken, but in my head, I'm thinking, anything else for tomorrow morning? Brad says, yeah, zip ties, scissors. Show up at the basketball game. What's up, dude? You got the zip ties? Yeah, at home. Yeah.

I didn't know we need zip ties for a basketball game. Yeah. Yeah. My mom had bought us a banner that said Ghostwriters on it. And she was like, hey, did you bring all this stuff to connect the banner? I was like, I thought that was your responsibility. And so, no, yeah. So you literally texted me as I was realizing this with my mom,

that she didn't bring anything. And so I was like, this is a sign from God. Like, get the zip ties. Sometimes God wants you to communicate. Exactly. I don't wants you to communicate. Yeah, exactly. I don't know. But anyway. All right, let's talk about the game real quick.

And then we'll get into the games that we want to play. OK, the game was awesome. Yeah, like we did end up losing by one point at the end. But it didn't feel like we lost. It was like we had like 95 people come from all over the country. I asked the ref. I was like, you ever seen anything like this? And he's just like, nope.

Yeah, I was like, you ever seen anything like this? And he's just like, nope. Yeah, I was like, no, this is, this is. And then he was like, wait, so these people aren't just all from Kansas City? And I was like, no, they're from everywhere. You know, it's just,

it was wild. Oh yeah, what did you say? So this is kind of a fun, like just beautifully ironic part of the night. The championship team that we played, it wasn't Carlos,

unfortunately, Carlos' team lost, but they were planning on just leaving. They were like, you guys could just have the championship. Look at all these fans. You guys already have these fans. We want to watch the Lakers game.

It was like, you're just going to dip out on the championship game? Oh, Scott would have lost his lid, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You convinced him, so I want to know what you said. I basically like pointed to all of our fans and said, we have people here from New Hampshire. We have people here from Pennsylvania and Sandy.

Like people came from all over to watch us. You got to stay. You got to stay. You got to beat us. You got to beat us in a championship game. It really is unbelievable that they beat us, but. Only game we lost all season is when we had everyone there. It's pretty sweet.

It was two in a row. So we got, we got a little crampy, you know. Yeah. Scott, do we think that Scott actually got injured? Do you think he kind of wanted some attention? I don't know is he's a titian he's the youngest child he got it he got i mean it was it was his floor for five minutes oh my gosh people clap for him when he stood up yeah it's a muscle prank i stand up five times a day scott maybe six on a good day you know that's a good joke that's right down that one down. That's good. Yeah. Just a second, guys.

Stand up. Stand up? No, it's I stand up five times a day. I'm trying to be a stand-up comedian. Stand up five times a day. That's a good thing. At one point, I looked at the side. Jordan and I were kind of like game planning, strategizing, whatever.

And I look back, and you were not down on one knee. I like how far apart you kept yourself, but you were still trying to feed Scott a banana from the upright position. Trying to mother bird him this banana. You kind of chew it up for him yeah yeah here you go buddy yeah that's how we used to do it back in kindergarten so um yeah like in like a split second you were feeding him a banana and then scott's wife had like a theragun thing like on his leg i said where are these things coming from how big is your purse yeah that hurt so bad yes i was like get it off of my leg.

Put the banana on my leg. Put the banana on my leg. Take the gun off. I felt like such a dad for just having a banana in my bag. I was like, yeah, I got a banana for you.

That's why you're pro cargo shorts. That's right. I'm selling bananas. Think about the banana storage. Yeah. Yeah. Where are my zip ties and my nanners?

Yeah. So I was like, and I tried to like bend down and give it to him. Was a little bit of a too ripe banana. A little soggy nanner. Just flopped right on the floor. And it wasn't even like flopped on the floor like in the, you know,

pretty clean area of the floor. It like literally went like in the perfect spot where like, you know, like they have the big brooms on the basketball court. That's like where they stopped. That was exactly like, it was like lint filled banana. And Scott is like writhing in pain. And he saw that I dropped the banana. And I like, jokingly like, Hey, do you still want this banana?

And he's like, yeah, give it to me. And I was like, dude, open your eyes. He's like, Oh, I don't want that. So Scott, he survived. He's a little sore today, but he's okay. He'll be, he'll, he'll live. I think. And then a couple minutes later, Josh Madison was like,

hey, that attention Scott got was pretty cool. Why don't I go down as well, take a dive. I'm also cramping. Is that the word you're saying, Scott? Okay, I guess I'm cramping too. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, it's in my leg. Every once in a while, he would look up

and people would look at him and be like, ah! And Josh is like the least humble guy you know. He's like such a braggadocious Josh That's what we call him. And so I did think this is more on Emily. His wife is like a personal trainer a dietician That's on her. She's got to be feeding him with the right enzymes and protein or whatever you need potassium, right? This is not Josh's fault. This is her fault. The funny thing was that Emily? Yeah, she made us all protein balls like between the games. And they were amazing. We snarfed them down. I did not partake.

Okay. There might be a direct correlation. One of the refs was like, it's those protein balls. Curse of the protein balls. And what's funny is he said that before the game. He wasn't even talking about that. I was like, what are you talking about? He was saying it because halfway through the game, I think,

I call it halftime, the second game, he's like we gotta get done with this no more like i'm gonna give you one minute for every time out from now on because i'm ready to go home i gotta get up at 4 a.m for my other my other job and i was like and he's like i'm really hungry you're not doing this full time huh no yeah because you're you're so good at it i would think this is definitely what you do full time but i was like well if you're hungry we have some protein balls he's like i ain't touching those protein balls and so and then i think that was before Josh like cramped up so that he was like really like egging him on with the protein balls it's like okay dude like we get it like the protein balls were not good so at one point it was like a very serious part at the end of the game I

think we call it time out I'm like bringing everyone in I'm like all right we're gonna man up we're gonna switch every screen whatever and I look down and it's either Scott or Josh's leg. Harrison had just wrote fragile. It's like such a serious moment. I'm like, that's so funny that Harrison wrote fragile on his calf. How'd you feel about that? Was that after you were like feeling better? Yeah, yeah.

He just wrote, right before I got into the game again, he wrote fragile on my calf. Let's talk about Harrison real quick. He just like, he dressed up in into the game, again, he wrote fragile on my cap. Oh, man. Let's talk about Harrison real quick. Okay. He just, like, he dressed up in a suit and he had flyers. Yeah. He had a whiteboard, a huge whiteboard, like three times the size of any basketball coach's whiteboard. Right, it wasn't a clipboard.

It was a whiteboard. Yeah. Yeah. And he didn't necessarily draw us plays, but he did draw us stuff. Yeah. One of the ones I can remember was we were on a little bit of a valley. Yeah, a little lull. And he drew a flat line. He goes,

you guys know what this is? And Jake goes, Jake and his like, you know, infinite wisdom, just smart Alec. He just goes, it's a line segment. Because he's so smart like that. There were arrows at the end. And he's like, it's a flat line. You guys are being a flat line right now. And then he like did like the, you know, whatever

the pulse is like, we need a pulse. And he's like putting up and down. And we just really got pumped. And then he like did like the, you know, whatever the, the pulse is like, we need a pulse. And he's like putting up and down. And we just really got pumped. And I was like, show the crowd. Obviously they're gonna have no idea what this means. Like show the crowd. He just shows the crowd like these scribbles. Everyone's like, yeah, yes.

Good, good Harrison. That's the thing. You guys were so fun. Like literally you were so excitable. Anything we could do, you guys would just be like, yeah. So it was awesome. But, but Harrison was great. He would just want to,

I think he knew when we needed some momentum, he would just go to the center court and be like, y'all want some t-shirts? And they'd drop Vibe shirts. Yeah. He was mic'd up all game. And we hired Derek, Trey and I's podcast producer and behind-the-scenes shooter to shoot.

And he shot for like three hours straight, which is great. We've already posted some behind-the-scenes stuff on our story. And there's some other, like, some bigger clips on Patreon right now which are fun dude and it's gonna be so good like you can hear harrison as the gameplay is happening you hear the crowd it's just like i'm so glad like we spent the money yeah it's gonna be so worth it we're like we should definitely make this happen if anything else just for our own time capsule of like personal stuff like remember when we invited people to come watch us play very mediocre basketball yeah Yeah. And people came like, how did you feel? Cause you didn't play high school basketball.

So what did it feel like to like make a three and hear people scream? What do you think? It was the best thing in my life. It was awesome. Yeah. I was, I really wanted to make sure I made at least one and I did. And so that's,

that's all I, and your dad was there as a surprise. Yeah. He's a good liar. Yeah. I talked to him that morning. Yeah. Tell this like,

yeah. Tell, tell more from Tuesday night when you were like talking to me about it oh I thought you were just like me so I was born and raised

in a Christian home my parents did a good job you know I remember my dad being there when I was a kid what actually I don't know what

we were hanging out on Tuesday night and you were like yeah my dad was actually going to surprise us last week for the game yeah and I was like dang that was so sweet

he said that like my mom was off work Friday like it would week for the game. Yeah. And I was like, dang, that was so sweet. He said that like, uh, my mom was off work Friday. Like it would have worked out perfect, but now they can't. So like, that's another big bummer. And I was like, but what if, what if he's like double surprise, like double messing with you? And you're like, I don't think so. I think they really can't this time. Yeah. I don't know if they've ever like lied and surprised me like that before. Was it awesome? It was awesome. Yeah. Yeah. It was fun. It was weird too. Like I could hear like when my parents rolling up and I'm starting to be like excited, like, Oh, they're here. I heard like murm Yeah? Yeah, it was fun. It was weird, too. Like, I could hear, like, when my parents were rolling up, and I'm sort of, like, excited, like, oh, they're here. I heard, like, murmurs, like, Steve, that's Steve.

That's Steve. I'm like, this is weird. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they nailed it. That is his name. We went to Andy's afterwards, and I just saw at one point, I look over, and Steve's in the corner with, like, five girls around him taking a picture, and I was like, yeah, Steve!

I've never talked to this many girls in my life, I promise. You know, like, but yeah, it was so much fun, dude. I've never talked to this many girls in my life, I promise. But yeah, it was so much fun, dude. Yeah, the game was great. My dad is in Africa right now. He's doing like mission stuff in Africa. And so my mom brought a cutout of my dad. Did you already have that?

Yeah, it was from when my dad got season tickets for KU and he could like pay extra to like have one of those cutouts at the Allen Field house. So he loves it. He thinks it's so fun. And so my mom was like, I'll bring your dad to the game. And so we had dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll resurrect him.

And so we had somebody dress up in a banana costume. We still don't know who that is. We don't know who you are. If you're the banana girl, let us know. Cause we, yeah, we never really met her or anything, but she had a banana costume. She had songs. Like sometimes it was like after we made a shot she would make or play the song yeah it was great it was great oh it's so much fun and hattie and beau played or came the whole time oh yeah

that was they said they were gonna drive themselves home but they just like no never mind you know i could tell that hattie had been to a soccer game recently because she would just scream constantly yeah yeah she was loving it so i don't get that oh that's what they do at the sporting games anytime they have like a corner kick or something and everybody goes everybody oh yeah she'll love it cool do it to her sometimes it's a good song yeah uh I think there's anything else in the game my toes started bleeding last night you read that happen I don't not I mean I've had a bloody toe at one point but not for my basketball extremities the uh the fulbrights my cousins and my family have always made fun of us they call it the triplet toe because my second toe is it's got some length

to it it's like a banana that's a thing that's a thing to some people sometimes it happens yeah it's like a banana uh and so they're real long but they never really got in the way before and then last night like in the second game i like, I'm starting to feel like some fritch, you know, in my second toe. And then I took my socks off, double blood. Both second toes. Really? Yeah. That was fun. But that's never happened to you, like,

cause you played basketball forever. I think it was just the, um, adrenaline, protein, those protein balls. Yeah, that's of course the protein balls. Well, is it like, I think, isn't it like your nose always is consistently growing for your whole life? Your nose and ears never stop growing. And toes. Nose, toes, ears.

Right? Maybe it is. I was looking at it. Maybe it's your ears. You guys know. You guys are smart people. Save it for the trivia. Okay.

I hadn't looked at my toes really in a while like this, but as I was starting to wonder how they were bleeding, I was like, they do look longer. Really? Than what they were. I'll show you later. Please. There's a lot of creeps on the internet who would pay for these babies, so I don't looked at my toes really in a while like this, but as I was starting to like wonder how they were bleeding, I was like, they do look longer. Really? Than they, what they were. I'll show you later. Please. There's a lot of creeps on the internet

who would pay for these babies. So I don't want to show it right now, but I'll show you in private. Yeah, nevermind. Okay, yeah, great. That's fun. Anything else about the game? It was just cool.

I mean, the wave would just be going during a timeout. Yeah. And like a good looking wave. Oh man. So Derek at one point, like during the game comes up to me and I forget what he asked, but he didn't know the term for wave. He's like, hey Brad, I figured at some point,

could you get all the people to like stand up like one by one kind of thing? Like linearly side by side. I'm like, are you American? Like you don't know the wave. So that was funny. And what if he's like, no, it's not that, it's not that. It's like where the person, once the

person sitting next to you goes to their feet with their arms up, then you kind of like flow your arms out. And then they sit down eventually, but they're standing up down there. You're like, the wave. He's like, no, it's not that. It's more than just a wave. Because they say, oh, when they do it. It's more than just a wave.

They're not doing this. They're not waving. Right. Yeah, anyway, that was awesome i the whole thing was so fun i think at some one point somebody uh started the chant you should go catholic or something that part got a little weird i don't know if one of you were here who started that but like they were shooting free throws and i was doing the free you should go catholic i was like this is i like i was like i don't know who started this but i was like trying to give this signal to him i was like this feels i don't know this is, I like, I was like, I don't know who started this, but I was like trying to give this signal to him. I was like, this feels, I don't know.

This feels weird. Yeah. That was, that was funny. Yeah. So, but love the energy. Love the energy. Big energy. So the entire first half of the first game, I was just like giggling.

I was like, this is so funny. It's just so great. Like leading up to it yesterday during the day, I kept thinking like, I can't believe people are coming in for this. Like Isaac and I were talking the way over and I thought my like 15 or 20 would come and there was more than that there was more than that yeah did you count like you said 90 i took a picture which feels like more than yeah there were exactly 90 in the picture and i know there were some on the outside as well okay calvin beck and his new baby sure was on the outside of any oh i loved on the other team one

girl came for the other team. And she was consistent. Like she, every time they scored, she'd be like, yeah. And so I really enjoyed that girl a lot. Okay. One last thing I want to mention from the game that I can think of right now is the guy that I guarded for probably half of the second game. Which one? He was short, shorter guy. Okay.

Yeah. I know what you're talking about. Yeah. That guy, he was real fun we were talking back and forth the whole game which i think oh who was i talking to today i don't know they were talking about the game like yeah we saw you guys like drawing back and forth a lot and i was like oh it was like friendly drawing like i was just like hey like what do you do for a living or yeah i saw you guys talking a lot out there i was like oh it was 100 friendly what

am i gonna do get mad with 90 people anyway yeah um that guy the entire game i kept being like who are these people like are they with you guys i just like played that the whole time and that the very end he's like okay i got it like who are these people yeah like who are them uh and who are them he didn't say that he said who are these people and i said me and big daddy uh have a podcast together and it's like called ghost runners he's like dude that's so sweet and then i got a dm from him at like 2.30 a.m. And it was just like, dude, I checked it out. This stuff is hilarious, dude. No way.

Thank you, Evan. So, yeah. That's awesome, dude. Anything else from the game? I don't know. Anything you guys remember? Anything we're missing, live audience? Hit it one time for Big Daddy.

Yeah, yeah. Somebody yelled hit it one time for Big Daddy. You did. You shot the ball well last night. Yeah, I did all right. Oh, Jake, at one point, I hope that Derek got on video because I didn't even know he was like filming me, like reacting, but like you made like two threes in a row and the second one you made, I hope that Derek got on video because I didn't even know he was like filming me like reacting.

But like you made like two threes in a row. And the second one you made, I like got so hyped for you. Thanks, Brad. Yeah. What did you do? Show me. I go like that. I did not take my shirt off this time. But you had headphones on at one point, which is weird. Like, you did take headphones off. And I was like, what is he listening to? You just, like, have to get really psyched when you're on the bench. Like, I'll lose my competitive fire if I don't have music on.

Okay, low-key, Harrison started off, like, the second game with, like, some, like, mellow, like, 70s music on his speaker. Did you hear this? No, I was locked in. It was the Doobie Brothers. Doobie Brothers, not championship game. Michael McDonald, Doobie Brothers. No, did you like it? I loved the doobie brothers doobie brothers not not championship game no did you did you like it i i love the doobie brothers two minutes into it i was like okay harris i think it's time to turn off the music i couldn't take it it was like it was like way too chill do you think that's i'm yeah i'm not i'm not gonna point point fingers but doobie

brothers protein balls a little half and half yeah do little bit of both. Doobie balls. Cool. Thanks for getting hyped for me. Yeah, dude. I really was. It was kind of fun. It was, yeah, kind of fun. Yeah.

It was just fun to like, I don't know. It's one thing to like make a basket when like people are like cheering. It's like, wow. And I think this is okay to say. I think they cheered way harder when you and I did something than like Jordan did something, you know Like they're you guys were cheering for the ghost runners But like if we did something everyone's like holy cow that first three you made I mean it was it was crazy I remember the first time I like was about to shoot I missed my first shot But I remember like going up to shoot it and I just hear your dad go. Here we go

I was like, oh man, you know, I laughed so hard at that but He told me he's like after you made that first three to six hours, it was totally worth it. Oh, man. That's awesome. But, yeah, thank you guys for coming out. This has been so fun, and it's continuing to be fun. We went to lunch, and that was awesome.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. I think it's a sign that we need to do more stuff like this. Maybe not necessarily basketball games, but just like a weekend with the Ghost Runners in Kansas City or in honolulu or something it's just something where there's like an itinerary like if you come this these are the things that will happen yeah yeah it's awesome yeah if you plant it they will come that's what they say if you plant it they will come yeah that's a corn yeah oh yeah kale kale's a resident farmer in the audience so you would think he i mean kale makes sense yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. Good for you.

Yeah. Yeah, so. All right, let's play a game. Let's get into it. Okay. Tell them about it. Let's do, yeah, yeah, yeah. I might, yeah.

I could use some more of that as well. If somebody would mind. Eat Owen, my guy. You give it to Owen. I'm about to call him Evan. Hey, Evan. Thanks dude. I don't know.

Whatever that guy is. Okay, let's do the trivia one first. So what we're gonna do is is we're going to call it, are you smart or the ghost runner? Are you smart? Can you talk better? What are you doing? It's called, are you smart or the ghost runner?

Okay. And here's how you get in the van. So what you do is we're going to have anybody who wants to, anybody who has a trivia question can come up, ask the trivia question to Jake and I. It can be about anything and everything. If you stump us, we will then give you an opportunity to answer some Ghostrunners trivia, some things from the podcast, either new or old.

And every point we get, we get one point. Every point you get, you get one point. And at the end of the game, whoever has more points wins. Is that a good description? what is this game called are you are you what are you are you smarter than a ghost runner oh okay great i don't know if you're gonna like stir your words again i was just oh i thought i thought you're about to play something like like uh like i thought you had a youtube clip what is this one called like you look like i, sorry. Now I was getting some trivia questions. Thank you, Owen. Thank you. He just posed for the camera. What a, yeah.

What a teenager, man. That's good. That's awesome. So, anybody have any trivia questions? If you have one, sit right there. Come on up. Be bold.

Be bold. Jump and yell. Here she goes. All right. Oh, gosh. Okay. Because you both love soccer so much.

Oh. Oh, no. Which country has appeared in the most World Cups oh okay okay okay okay let's talk about oh should we talk Brazil I was thinking Brazil Argentina or Germany you know those are Germans who have Spanish accents what Or Germans. Germany. My first reaction was Brazil, but I have no idea. They're big. Like the country, a lot of land mass.

A lot of mass. Yeah. So that makes you more likely to go to the World Cup. Is it because the last World Cup was in Brazil? Is maybe why you're thinking that? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Let's look at her while we say the three different options real quick and try to read her.

Okay. You look, I'll say. I have say really bad poker face so good this is great argentina brazil germany what'd you get from that bread that was pretty good poker face let's go brazil we're gonna hate ourselves if we don't finally it's her brazil yeah you're right so anyway how's the scoring work right how's the scoring work, Brad? How's the scoring work? So, we got that right, so we get one point. Okay. All right, so it's one point you,

one point to us, zero points to you. And then this is the part where we say, you are not smarter than a ghost runner. Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean? Yeah. That was a good one, though. That's tough, but not impossible.

So, that's fun. Right in the sweet spot, and we got it right. Anybody else got one? If not, this episode's going to not impossible so that's that's fun right in the sweet spot and we got it right anybody else got one if not this episode's gonna be over it's gonna be awkward all right so somebody asks us something oh here we go here we go come on down this is i believe michelle michelle right from uh lancaster lanc. Pennsylvania? Yeah. Okay, so my question is a history question. Okay. Who was the first president to live in the White House? Oh, I've seen this before. Into the presidents.

Have I talked about how she loves Martin Van Buren before? Yeah. Okay. Big MVB guy. Oh, man, I should know this, Catherine. Do you want to be sad? I don't know. Do you know?

Sounds like you're going to get closer than I am. Do we think this is still in the early days? days yeah i'm gonna say president number 13 oh so not that early oh okay yeah on three on three we just say a president yeah and then i have no idea i don't know i'm just kidding um rutherford b, maybe? I could see him living in my house. He's kind of a trendsetter. RBH? Kind of a trailblazer. You want to say it?

Yeah. On three. Ready? One, two, three. Rutherford B. Hayes. No. It was the second president. I knew it was early.

I knew it was early. Like, why would it not be one of the first few? Maybe Rutherford B. Hayes was the second president. I think it was one of the Adams boys. No, he was the 19th president. Oh, you know all this? Well, I know Hayes was the second president. I think it was one of the Adams boys. He was the 19th president. Oh, you know all this? Well, I know like the first 25. Okay, quick question.

Who was the 14th president? Buchanan. That's cool. That's really cool. I know the 22nd and 24th because there's that classic riddle that I've said on the pod before. The same person. Yeah, it's like how this 22nd, 24th president have the same mother but they are not brothers like how is this possible grover cleveland it's the same person okay now it's time for um michelle

to answer our question right i get to go you want to ask oh sure um jake at one point, was getting into a new hobby, a new exercise hobby, where he went to a certain kind of club, if you will, and did something. Does that make sense? Martial arts. You're right. Yeah, martial arts style hobby. A, what was the hobby? And B, what was the place called that he did said hobby? Am I allowed to ask the audience, though?

No. Okay. I'm going to say boxing. That's correct. Am I allowed to ask the audience though? No. Okay, I think I'm gonna say boxing. That's correct. I'm gonna say title boxing. That's correct! Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Very good.

So do they two to one? Like, cause she stumped us and got it right? Yeah. But I actually lied. I, Buchanan is not the 14th president. Oh! I think it was very clunky here. Yeah, so.

Okay, you can text me later if you need corrections. I think it's one-to-one. I think, because then they always have opportunity to get two, and we only have one every time. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. All right, one-to-one. We got a lot of questions. Good questions, yeah. To ask you guys, so keep them coming.

Let's go. Aubrey Ragoon, all the way from San Diego all right thanks for being here of course um there was an episode I was listening to recently and you guys were talking about state capitals and you Jake had actually very confidently got one of them wrong yeah that sounds like me yeah it was the capital of Montana so do you know what it is oh yeah I think I know yeah yeah right yeah yeah yeah, yeah, I think I know Right, yeah, I wonder what I said Bozeman Bozeman Big Sky and

Billings Billings our final answer is Helena That's good one. Thank you. So should we still quiz her? Sure. Okay. Sorry, Janelle, we didn't quiz you. This is our first time playing this game.

Okay. We've had the one-liner of the day so far, though. This is a tough, this is a tougher question, but I know you're like, you're the right person to ask. All right. It's been said a few different times on the podcast, and it's even been laughed at a lot because it's so hilarious if someone were to have the same person to ask. All right? It's been said a few different times on the podcast, and it's even been laughed at a lot,

because it's so hilarious if someone were to have the same birthday as Brad. When is Brad's birthday? Wow. Is it November? November is correct. Not the whole month. No! I didn't hear it.

I didn't hear it, so you can say something else. November 13th. Oh, no! We got a cheater in the back. It's November 13th. Oh, no! You got a cheater in the back. It's November 13th. That's correct. November 13th. Very good.

Very good. Half point for November. Half a point for November, minus half a point for 19th, though. So just no points. Okay. All right. Next question. Are you smarter than a ghostwriter?

What is the rarest eminem color oh? according to Data or like what? That's fun are we talking like out of the main colors do you think like you think the main yes in it's one of the Right all right we got we got brown red blue orange yellow. No Commercials but yellow is the peanut M&M. Oh crap Maybe that's no They got green

Gotta go with orange. Gotta go with orange. That's brown. Oh! Yeah! Alright, ask her one. The one with the less artificial coloring. Okay, let's see. Um, let's see. How about, uh, we recorded an episode, one of the only ones we've actually recorded with somebody else, we recorded in my garage with our friend Garrett. Garrett had a wife that he was trying to encourage through his recording.

She was running a marathon. Do you know the wife's name? Is it Emily? Is it? No. Close enough. Yeah, pretty close. Emmy was her name.

Maybe her real name's Emily, I think. Get her on the phone. Yeah. I think that you get some points. You stumped us, Andy. You got it pretty close. Good job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe one more? Let's do one more, but it's get some points. You stumped us and you got pretty close. That's a good job. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Maybe one more? Let's do one more, but it's worth five points. Cannon, come on. Just kind of... Yeah. Yeah, thanks. I'll have a good shot at this one. We'll see. Okay.

It's the only American football team to go undefeated the whole season, including the Super Bowl. Oh, including... Oh, yeah, yeah. Miami Dolphins. Miami Dolphins. Miami Dolphins. What year? What year?

I saw someone trying to gesture to us, so I'm not going to look. I already looked, so I'm not going to answer. Integrity move. 63 sounds too early. I don't even know if we... We're barely having Super Bowls then. I'm going going to answer. 63 sounds too early. Like, I don't even know if we were barely having Super Bowls then.

I'm going to say 1972. Nice. You dog. You saw Scott. Did I really get it? Yeah. I promise. Really?

Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. I'm eyes closed. I can't believe that. I can't believe I got that. Yeah. Oh, wow. Oh, that is awesome.

I swear I did not see that, because I was sure it was an odd number. And it went crazy. All right. Well, I had another one. And then you left. So I guess you don't get to. Should I go back?

Yeah. Yeah. Get your teams of points. All right. This one's a short answer question. Or Phil. Gosh. Phil, here's a question.

It's called Ghostrunners on second. Our YouTube channel and our Patreon. What order did those come out in? I'm going to say y'all's Instagram. Okay.

But then again, I kind of feel like maybe the fan page was first. Fan page first. Then y'all's Instagram. This might be totally wrong. I'm sorry if I'm failing y'all.

Okay I think it's three to three Legitimately I think this is the tiebreaker Right here So Who wants to come Win this for the fans

Ellie 18 Ellie All the way from Greenville South Carolina You're probably thinking Jake you guys probably met At the show Like three weeks ago

Nope she didn't come. She didn't come to the show, didn't even know about it. So she's a. All right, who do you want to go against me or Brad? Yeah, I appreciate it. This one's tough. This one's tough. All right, your category is things that are purple.

Go. Purple cloth, purple tables, purple chairs, purple floors, purple walls, purple shirts, purple shoes, purple curtains, purple hats, purple periodic table of elements, purple gummy bears. Okay. Stop.

Stop. For the love of God, just stop. We get it. That's called a life hack right there. A little bit of a loophole in the category system. You should have it be called things. Yeah, yeah. Because the whole time I wanted to be like,

that's not right. And I was like, that is right. Shirts are purple sometimes. Yeah. Oh, that was good. All right, let's hear Brad. He did as good as that. Brad, name as many things that are purple

that you can in 15 seconds. Go. Prince's shirt. Purple rain, the song. K-State Wildcats. Royal robes. Nice. Purple.

Purple. Bruises are purple sometimes. Time. Dang it. Those are all like exclusively purple. Five, yeah. That's the route I went to. I want to listen. I can't remember exactly what I said. But yeah, they were all definitely purpley.

Eggplant. Barney. Barney's good. Is that it? Oh, quartz. The mineral. With a Q. Really? The Lakers. The Sacramento Kings. Your thumb after it gets caught in a door. Yes.

Exclusively purple. Oh, man. I love that. So Ellie and us have different ways of going about things. She's smart. She's resourceful. She's going to a private college next year. Makes sense.

She got in. No problem. Okay. Ellie wins it for the college next year. It makes sense. You know, yeah, she got in. No problem. Okay, Ellie Winston for the fans. Great job. Good job. Okay, I think we have one more game. Uno mas or no? I don't think so.

Okay, sorry. I can't remember. We had an idea for a game, but we didn't have enough time to prepare for it. Brad sent me 12 voice memos yesterday of different things we were going to potentially do. Yeah. And I don't have any in front of me. I can't remember uh one thing that i thought of while we were doing that that

i want to talk about is the i'm down boys instagram has anyone else been following this or seeing this yeah claps for that it was amazing the uh like all of it's been hilarious like so they went on this like little road trip apparently it's the reason they come couldn't come to our game whatever i kind of begged them i was like please just come to yeah i was messaging one of them i was like what's it got to take for you guys to get here and he was like oh well it's kind of timing and also like we're low on funds and so i sent him like a screenshot of breaking bad when they're in the semi-trailer looking at the big stack of money and skyler says how big does this pile have to be and i sent him that and then he was like i've never seen that show so i was like

all right but you get you get the sentiment, right? And then he never, I don't know. He didn't tell me how big the pile needed to be. They told me it was because of graduation. So they told me- Everyone just throws it in. Oh, my vaccine shot. It's one of those, dogging my homework.

They told me, first they told me funds and I was like, we can figure out a way to get you here. And then they said, well, we still have graduation. So we have to skip that. Like, great, come on. Everyone right now, I don't remember the handle, but, we still have graduation. So we have to skip that. Like, great. Come on. Everyone right now, I don't remember the handle, but our Instagram account follows them.

So you can figure it out from there. Go look at their story highlight called Ohio. Dude, it was so funny. I showed it to Catherine. I was laughing out loud. Yeah, I like said it to my sister. I was like, you got to watch all this. And I responded and I was like,

this alone, like I want Clint and Cam on our podcast. Like if you could do that, like they are like legitimately funny. So Clint and Cam, you guys are awesome. Open invitation. Yeah. Everyone go like watch it. It's like this alone, like I want Clint and Cam on our podcast. Like if you could do that, like they are like legitimately funny. So Clint and Cam, you guys are awesome. Open invitation. Yeah, everyone go like watch it. It's so funny.

Yeah, it's something we would totally have done. Yeah. Like, yeah, that's why it's so funny because it's like, that's like us. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't,

I had another game, but we'll do it for next time. It's gonna be called Complete the Line and we're gonna play a clip from the Ghost Runners and then you guys can complete the line, but it's not ready. Fill in the blank. Yeah. Fill in the blank. So, uh, should we, okay. How do we want to do voice memos? Like actual voice memos or like they have voice memos. Uh, I think last week we said, Hey, if you have voice memos, bring them. So if you, if people have some, we can do them live. If not, we can do them not live. So so yeah you don't have any questions for

us here we go oh kale's adjusting oh just adjusting just getting comfortable realizing this is gonna take a little bit longer than i thought yeah try to get back to nebraska you know you have one great is that fine You may come to the center seat, please. Okay. Long-time listener, first-time caller. Awesome. I'm Jill from St. Louis. Awesome.

I'm from Mississippi. Better. What is your biggest irrational fear? Mine is when I drive under a bridge and a car is going over it. I feel like the bridge is some for some reason gonna collapse even though I know that obviously that's not gonna happen yeah okay and then my second one is when I'm driving down the road these are all driving related because I drive a lot for my job and someone flicks a cigarette out and I drive over it oh yeah like my car is gonna blow up. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not going to like some reason there's a chance I think

probably maybe. So I'm just curious as to what your goals are. That's a good question. Those are both really good examples too. Cause like I've kind of thought those and like, yeah, there's probably no basis for this, but it's scary. I mean, we've talked about it before, but I, I hear that deer aren't really scary to anybody, but they kind of terrify me. Like if, if there was a deer in this room right now, would you guys be scared? I would be, I'd be like, I gotta get away from that deer. Exactly. I think that's where it originated from. Like I had no experience with deer except for when, yeah, they destroy the car and Tommy boy, which apparently was not a real deer. I don't know. So yeah, no, I did. Uh, but yeah, I don't know. I'm sure i have other ones let's see i don't know how

irrational this is this might be kind of normal but like if i'm standing somewhere not even that far from like a the edge of a cliff like i started thinking like what if i were to like trip and then not catch my balance and then fall another 10 feet and then i would fall all the way down this and i'm like jake you've never tripped more like i'm not gonna trip 12 feet right they're like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa now i'm dead but i'll think that like okay what if i tripped and then i don't grab that and then i still slip off that i could everything goes wrong it's never gone wrong before yeah what if i lose all coordination and mobility i could fall i could die off of this so that's kind of irrational this

is i i don't i don't still do this but when i was little and like in the shower like you know in the drain every once in a while like the water kind of like reflects up and it like has these like little beads. You guys might have never noticed this, but look in there. No, look in there next time you're in the shower. And I used to think they were little snake eyes. So I used to think I used to have irrational fears that snakes were in the drains. Snakes on the drains is what they call it. Oh, yeah. Samuel L. Jackson. Yeah. Snakes on a drain. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So you got to get these snakes out of this drain yeah i've probably told this on the podcast before sorry but my dad said our first house we lived in in springfield one day he found a snake coiled up in our toilet bowl nope nope nope didn't mention this before we're moving uh yeah we're getting out of here he didn't tell any of us until after he moved which is a good dad move i'm gonna remember that yeah but he still told me at some point so since fourth grade i have now been thinking like a snake could come up here i know that one did at one point like a snake could yeah he could get my drain he could he could find the took us yeah

go up my drain oh you're snaking the drain eh not like that oh hey yeah hey. Yeah. Yeah. So. Oh, man. Thank you, Jill, for the voice memo. That's fun. Yeah. Thank you. Those are my rational fears. Anybody else? Not anybody else. Who else?

That's what you're supposed to say to facilitate better conversation. Oh, that's good, Brad. Expect to be having another one. Like, who is the next one? Yeah. Who's next? What questions do you have? What questions do you have?

Hello. Hello. My name is Michelle from one. Yeah, who's next? What questions do you have? What questions do you have? Hello. Hello. My name is Michelle from Pennsylvania. And I've been listening to Ghost Runners for almost a year. And there are parts of the podcast that just make me laugh every time I think about them. So my question for the two of you are what are some things that make you laugh every time you

think about them, like a story or something from a movie or whatever? Oh, that's fun. That is you think about them? Like a story or like something from a movie or whatever. Oh, that's a good question. That's a thinker. I remember it was episode 56. The whole apples to oranges thing at the very beginning was really funny to me. Oh, we're talking like specifically in the podcast. Oh, I didn't understand the question.

Oh no, that's easier. Let's, let's combine the podcast. Yeah. Like anything in your life or podcast. Oh, anything that I've ever done. Yeah. Okay. Which I'm like, I've, I've laughed a lot in my life. No, no. In the podcast, the rural thing gets me every time, every time. The first time I listened to it, I laughed so hard. Like, and it's like, like my own conversation I know was coming and it made me laugh so hard, but Jake couldn't say rural. And then like, he thought he was saying the second R, but he wasn't. And I was like, say rural, say old, like say rural. He's like rural. Like I died laughing at that just because Jake is like so competent and so good at everything.

And so the fact that he couldn't do one thing made me laugh. So that's the one for me, for sure. That was the orangest one. That was good. I mean, you laughing about November 13th is a classic. I think that's so funny. Yeah. That was such a good response.

I'm trying to think of all the different times you've had me in tears. I mean, anything with like Santo Mac, like I will usually cry laughing at that yeah that's that's just a memory that i think i laugh at is like the first time we did the santo mac like the the talent show thing that we did together yeah like we hosted that talent show for k-life and jake and i were just having the most fun ever like just being so goofy and like so off the walls funny um to each other like just like basically trying to entertain each other like like it was like yeah it's it's a you know subset or whatever side thing that we're like entertaining these kids but really we're just trying to make each other laugh and trying to be as funny as we can for each other um so yeah those are good those are fun ones yeah that's a good question i know there's a lot of stuff that makes me laugh, I think, but it's hard to kind of remember. I feel like it's like the 15-second game again.

The first time I remember you crying was when we talked about the wet Uber ride. Yeah, I was just thinking that too. And we were doing this thing. You remember that? And that was the first time I think that we went live. We did a premiere on YouTube for that episode. Oh, was it?

And so I remember other people making fun of the way we drove our cars or whatever. But yeah, that was the first time I remember being like, dude, you're crying a little bit right now. I mean, it was such a good premise. Like the Uber driver won't let you roll the windows down because of COVID. But it's like, yeah, what if it rains?

Yeah. You show up just soaking wet. I bet you guys are used to this. Yeah, you guys are used to this. Oh, that was so good. So yeah. Okay. Thank you, Michelle from Pennsylvania for the voice memo.

Who's next? Good, Brad. Good. Ellie. Ellie, just recent graduate of University of Texas, Austin. Hook up. Yeah, thank you. Okay, so yeah, I'm Ellie.

I'm living in Austin from Houston. And I just had a fun little question for y'all. So if y'all had to rename any color and like choose the name for it Which color would you choose and what would you rename it? Oh, wow. Oh, I think about this all the time. So, thank you Finally a reason to mention this Okay, I have a name for it, okay I think it would anyway have to change what it like the color of it no like choose the color and then rename it okay okay and everyone's now gonna call it

this color like oh yeah like everyone's gonna now be like it's not orange it's lolo or something yeah i think i don't necessarily i've never liked lavender as a color i don't like the v being in there i think it doesn't match the smoothness of like what lavender is. I think it's like a smooth, like light purple. And so I would like a smoother name. It's probably sounds like I'm making this up, but I have thought this before.

I would like to call it Slipple. Doesn't that sound smooth? Slipple. That's like smooth like lavender. I don't know why that's so funny. I think that that's just should be what it's called. So does that mean lavender in general, the word doesn't exist?

Actually, please don't say it around me anymore. It's like, what kind of essential oils do you have in there? Oh, that's Slipple and Thieves. That's Slipple and Thieves. That's good for migraines. A little bit of frankincense in there, maybe some Slipple for extra effect. Yeah.

Isn't it easier to say? Just want to hop on here real fast to share my Slipple techniques with you guys. Yeah, yeah. So this is four ounces of Slipple. Yeah. Throw it in a little before bed. Yeah.

Right. Just rub it on the palms. Uh, yeah. Balls your feet and you'll just sleep like a baby. Um, that's fun. Sounds nice.

My first reaction was not even really funny. I just think it'd be fun to like name something Hattie or something like name a color Hattie for my daughter, you know, cause I love her a lot. This guy, uh, I would probably name it family because

that's what means the most to me yeah um and it would be all the colors because i'd probably go ephesian 289 and uh make it the most popular color there is because you know white for you know whatever um i don't know yeah columbia blue is now hattie oh hattie blue let's go hattie blue hattie blue yeah nice because kind of her middle name is louise yeah yeah hattie. Aw. Hattie Blue. Let's go Hattie Blue. Hattie Blue. Yeah. Nice. Because her middle name is Louise. Yeah, Hattie Blue. Yeah. Yeah. Hattie Blue.

So that's fun. Yeah. Yeah. Did you have an answer? No. It's okay. I didn't make any sense. I just like, well, okay, so my favorite color is pink, and then I like Shimmer and Shine,

but pink doesn't shimmer or shine, but I like the sound of it. Oh, okay. Yeah. That's awesome. Okay. Shimmer and Shine. Shimmer and Shine. It's just a quick Shimmer and Shine. All right. Thanks, Ellie. Yeah, that's awesome. Okay. Shimmer and shine. Shimmer and shine. It's just a quick shimmer and shine.

All right. Thanks, Ellie. Thank you. Ask him the question, babe. Who else, guys? Good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pennsylvania come in hot today.

Yeah. It's a long flight. Sharon? Yes. Thank you. Yes. Great. So I have a tendency to shorten or abbreviate

words. I know you guys do that as well. And it's gotten me in trouble a couple times. I was wondering if it's ever gotten you in trouble. My example is, I was packing my lunch and I had blueberries. Yeah, I've been there. Yeah, okay. I'm just talking to myself and I was like, oh, I forgot to wash my blues.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And my brother was like, oh, I forgot to wash my blues. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My brother were like, don't ever say that again. Yeah. We would have never known. We would have never known. Both of them? Yeah.

That's good. Similar, exact same word, actually. Like with Hattie, like obviously like when you're younger, you can't speak as well. And so we used to say bloobs with her and she would just not even say bloobs. She couldn't say her else. So it was just straight up. So, uh, I want boobs in my mouth. All right. Well, you're a little old for that. You're two. Yeah. We're not that kind of family. Okay. Um, yeah. My example, I remember in college, across the cafeteria counter, she's like, what are you going to be having?

And I said, I'll take some of the nudes for noodles. I did that one time. I learned my lesson. Yeah. I want shorter, shortened. Yeah, there's this dish in Pennsylvania, buttered noodles, and I shortened both of those. Oh, gosh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow, Lancaster gets a little risky. You're trying to text DoorDash real quick, buttered noodles and I shortened both of those. Don't do that. Oh gosh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. Lancaster gets a little risky. You're like trying to text DoorDash real quick. Like DoorDash is like, hey, whoa, come on. Yeah. Yeah. DoorDash is like, all right.

You're like from Panda Express. Like I got your orange chicken. Do you want any sides? Yeah. Send nudes. Yeah. Send nudes with it as well. Where do you want it to get delivered?

Back door? No. Sorry. That's too far. Edit that out. yeah send nudes with it as well where do you want to get delivered back door sorry that's too far edit that out um i can't think of anything else that's really funny though yeah that's a good question yeah thank you sharon sharon is karen i think we have time for like seven eight more more. Okay. So I'm just kidding. We could also do some real. Oh, okay. John has got one. Cool. Coming from South Carolina.

Yeah. That's her. Okay. So it kind of reminded me talking about food. Is there a food or drink or something like that that has been discontinued that you would want to bring back? It could be in a restaurant. Go ahead that that has been discontinued that you would want to bring back it could be in a restaurant go ahead thank you brad uh i used to get the tortellini chicken pasta at panera bread and company and once covet hit they said we have a limited menu now covet is unhit and they said we no longer offer that and i've not been there since really i would like two things please don't ever bring up lavender or Panera to me.

I have poultry with each of them. Genuinely curious. Like, have you guys ever had pasta at Panera? Really? Okay. Jake was like the only person I knew that would get like tortellini or whatever. It's only like fast food pasta you can get. Yeah.

Oh, okay. I guess mac and cheese is not pasta to me. I know it really is. So whatever. But besides mac and cheese. Oh, that's good. That's a good answer to me. I know it really is, so whatever. Besides mac and cheese. That's good. That's a good answer. I'm still not totally over it.

I don't know. I can't think of anything off the top of my head. That's a good question. I think Big Daddy always finds something he can enjoy a little bit. I'm not too big. You know what I'm saying? You seemed pretty excited when Hi-C came back. I was excited about that.

Yeah. I'm trying to think of anything else take as much time as you need okay it won't be awkward but i'll just watch thank you let's think of all the places oh chipotle or not chipotle uh taco bell the poor man's chipotle uh has like these five dollar boxes and they're like so seasonal isaac knows isaac like and they come and go for no reason. Like, and sometimes the $5 boxes are amazing. And other times there's stuff that I don't like at all. So I guess that's kind of an answer. Like, like, yeah. Cause like the $5 box is a way better deal than everything else. But, um, and then all of a sudden it's gone and it's like, why, why'd you do that to me? So I guess that's my answer, but that's not a great answer.

But do you have the ideal $5 box? I'm sorry. Catherine Ellis, first lady of the Ghostrunner, just walked in. Welcome, Catherine. Your categories were good. Except for the purple one.

Yeah, things that are purple. No, never mind. We're going to have her come up here and try to do some of those categories here yeah um yeah that's that's that's my best answer i think i can give i yeah good question i i'll i'll always find a way to enjoy the food yeah thank you i'm gonna turn you off maybe we'll go to some uh sent in voice memos and you guys can listen to as well um we haven't pre-listened to any of these but i see that there's one from uh one of the i'm down boys that's probably gonna

be good perfect hey how's it going dark ghost runners it's the i'm down boys here from the top of a fire tower boy we are up pretty high uh this is clint olonius here just i thought i'd say hi yeah you should be able to see that on our Instagram we got a cool video of that that we posted somewhere on there so if you just look. Some good shots. We got four of the boys here right now. The three other boys are down at the bottom. They're not a fan of heights and we did zip lining today so they have their face. They're a little top heavy so they tip over pretty easily off the edge. Anyway we got a question. We was wondering

what's the highest you've ever been? Where was it? How long did it take you to climb it? Did you drive it? Give us a little detail. And highest as in altitude, of course. Okay. That's all for now. See you guys. Also, question number

two. They never miss. They never miss. They never miss. Oh, that's good. You want this back? Maybe. No, keep it in there. You're trying to do a pride month.

Yeah, yeah. Gosh. Where's the highest you've ever been? I mean, like an airplane is like technically the highest place, but that's not a funny answer. On the ground. On the ground.

On ground. Yeah. I've climbed some 14ers. Sorry. I only climbed one. Sounds like you have climbed multiple. Multiple. Yeah.

I climbed with Josh Madison's wife. Protein balls. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We climbed it together. Was that the one that you had that awesome video from? Where I passed out? Yes.

Yeah. Yeah. Have you ever posted that on like Patreon or anything? I don't know where it's at. Like the one where you had that awesome video from where I passed out? Yes. Yeah. Have you ever posted that on like patron or anything? I don't know where it's at. Like the one where you like, like flails over. Yes. I think it was. Yeah.

We first started patron. We posted it there. That's my answer for something that makes me laugh. Anytime I see it. Seriously. Like I think about that. That is one of my favorite videos as well. So really anytime Jake fails, I guess I just realized it's a good time.

Sorry, Jake. Um, yeah, yeah. Colorado 14 years, but those are like, yeah, that's altitude in Spain. I hiked the highest mountain there and it was, it took a lot longer, but it wasn't as hot. I think it was like 12,000 feet or something. That makes sense though. Cause you do kind of have that hiker's body. Yeah. That's what I say. Yeah. The higher I get the lighter I get. So it's nice. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's fun. I, uh, have you ever done any, like, uh, I don't know, like high octane, like thrill seeking things high up? No. Like, like, uh, skydiving or anything like that. Is bungee parasail? No, I think I'm a little bit, I think

I would do them if, if, if like somebody else wanted to do them with me. I don't Catherine, would you want to do those kinds of things? Oh, okay're gonna go do it next week we're having a date night tonight so maybe bungee jumping yeah yeah that that kind of reminded me of that scene in the office where he's uh he's currently dating pam's mom and he's going over like things that he might want to do like scattering and she's like i don't know i just feel like i'm kind of past those things and he just like can't get over it i'm glad you guys didn't have that moment thanks for being down this kind of fun we're fun people yeah you're young you're young yeah okay so uh thanks clintonius clintonius glad you guys are doing okay um see what else we got hey brad and jake this is cam from great falls montana long time listener second time caller and as of now the official

ghost runners games keeper that's right i will be the keeper of the game so when we all get together all the ghosties you two your families your roommates and we're all hanging out and having the best time of our lives i'm going to be sure to bring the entertainment in the form of board games because i'm a huge fan of them i can go on for hours for your ears and for your sake i won't uh with that what are some of your favorite board games do you like the classics monopoly Monopoly, Life, Risk? Or do you like some of the more modern? Settlers of Catan, Pandemic, Ticket to Ride.

And what games should I add to my repertoire so I can make sure I have the best selection when we're all hanging out? Thank you for all you do. Love the podcast. Get on your feet. And bye-bye. Okay. He likes board games. I like board games like that's what i took away from that yeah i uh i think soccer i'm not still over the soccer thing i

think soccer could learn a thing or two about a board game specifically chinese checkers okay chinese checkers is a more fun version of the original game of checkers why more is more stuff going on i think soccer goals let's have five goals four balls three teams five goals four balls three teams i don't know three teams really like really sold me on it right like five five goals four balls yeah okay good three teams three teams it's like i watch that every night alliance is happening yes yes because are you gonna go up against like like are you ever gonna team up with another team to stop the third team ever you know that's why i'm in my alliance oh yeah yeah i get it now like you mean like alliance with your own team which i guess that's always

the thing that's in the word team i would say yeah so i think board games could teach soccer and other uh sports i think or two okay but Okay. But yeah, we like Settlers. Really like Settlers a lot. I've been playing Settlers for a long time. That's probably the main one that we like to play, right, Kath? Isaac likes to play chess with people on airplanes. Great battle. Great battle.

Great battle, Tavon. Yeah. Hey, hey. Tavon, give me a chance, man. It was that volume on an airplane. All that white noise man and tayvon is black which makes sense because isaac was the one screaming yeah yeah um yeah i like i like lots of board games i like sorry a lot but i like sorry uh two on two sorry or one on one with two sorry huh yeah one on one but you used to get a control to like colors never played it that way pretty fun guys

Check it out. Yeah Big fan of that one. I like playing checkers at Cracker Barrel Or what about the pin game like the yeah, I saw a tick-tock like a year ago There was like all right. You got to think of it like a ship the captain's gonna go around the ship make everything's okay Oh, but so people are jumping overboard, but that's all I remember and I can't do it. And I went to Cracker Barrel two months ago and they didn't have pin games. COVID. Yeah.

Now that, Janelle, new answer. I miss the old pin games. That's what I wanted them to bring back to you. You should see him eat those pin games. He put a little barbecue sauce on them.

Thank you for all the voice memos. I'm realizing now as you're recording that my camera wasn't recording during some of the in-person voice memos, so those might have been quiet if you're listening now, and it wasn't on YouTube, and I'm sorry. I'm only human. Actually, it's more. It's Cam's fault.

It's not mine. So that's been all the voice memos. Let's do our reviews of the week, except mine is going to be a YouTube comment. Did you see that one? You know which one I'm talking about? Welcome back. Ah! No, go ahead. Let me find it real quick. I'm going to stay on the pattern of doing old reviews.
