Starting point is 00:00:00 Jake, let's talk essential oils. Thank you. I was waiting for you to ask. Episode 120. This is when we're doing it. Finally. I've resisted for a long time, but like almost everything else in our marriage, I just eventually concede to my wife.
Starting point is 00:00:12 Whenever she wants to do, that's right. So we're- Yes. It's very good for us. Yeah. Let me tell you. Happy wife, happy life. Have you heard that?
Starting point is 00:00:20 No, that's the first time. Did you come up with that? Let me tell you again. Happy wife, happy life. Wow. What else have you come up with over the years? Um, love or home is where the heart is. Okay. I like that. Um, never go to bed angry. Oh, now that seems like a good tip. I, that's something I would share at like a wedding reception. Like, and you wouldn't think of
Starting point is 00:00:37 that yourself. You'd be like, I'm angry. I'm falling asleep right now. It's super easy to fall asleep. I love falling asleep. I could easily, I'm so mad right now. It's so easy to just fall asleep. It's like, yeah, sleep apnea for anger issues. Is that what you wanted to talk about? That's not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about essential oils. We are, we, we use them. We're not like, we're not like the craziest essential oil family in the world, but we use them. You're not selling them to two people and having them get three people, you know, to also sell them. I think Catherine sold them maybe once in her life. Business. Shout out Aaron Bowley. I think Aaron Bowley bought them for him. Oh, nice. Bailey Bowling's sister. That's right. Luke Hoagland's future sister-in-law. So anyway,
Starting point is 00:01:16 we use them all. Frankincense, thieves. I don't even know what else. Lavender, Valvoline, whatever you call it. Valvoline. All the essential oils. High mileage, baby. They are essential. You know, big days,voline whatever you call it valvoline all the essential oils high mileage baby they are essential you know big daddy's high mileage you know you need the thick stuff but i'm just thinking about it i was like essential oils are ridiculous like because because applying them to your skin is what initiates this idea like hey like your tummy hurts rub some dye gize on it and it's gonna feel better because you put this stuff on your skin. You're tired. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Yeah. There's no like ingestion. It's just like osmosis. No, you got, you want some lavender or you can smell it, but lavender on your feet and help you fall asleep. You're asleep in two seconds with the lavender. And it's like never in my life have I ever heard of anything else like really having this effect.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Like, like in that same way, obviously like lotion moisturizes your skin when you put it on it but skin is already on the outside exactly it's not doing it to the inside it's not it's not like i'm going to put my lotion on because i have cardiac issues yeah the aloe vera doesn't do anything to my insides as far as i know it's just for the skin yeah so it's just a crazy concept i just want to talk about it yeah no i i mean at what point do we start getting worried that other things are affecting our bodies and our lifestyles like if you oh hey don't let that cliff bar rest on your arm for too long you'll start rock climbing oh free solo yeah hey string bean i know you're trying to lose weight so i would really be careful uh walking on that dq blizzard over there don't rub don't rub those m&Ms on your feet or you will just be bloated.
Starting point is 00:02:46 My brother. Oh no. How long have you been holding that magic Johnson rookie card? You're going to get AIDS. Uh, uh, Oh, I,
Starting point is 00:02:56 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 it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast Every Monday morning we're taking back the Ghost Brothers Podcast Ghost Brothers Podcast Okay, much like last episode, this is also episode 120
Starting point is 00:03:23 That's right Yes And we're recording it at 120 plus 17 Okay, much like last episode, this is also episode 120. That's right. Yes. And we're recording it at 120 plus 17 Pacific time. What in the world are you talking about? Yep. We're 337 Central Standard Time. 127.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Wait, that kind of reminds me. Last night, as I'm going to sleep, I'm like, I'm going to check Instagram, check my message request, whatever. On my story last night, I reposted a jean shorts short. You know, I was just like, hey, if you, it was the small talker video we made, which I think is one of my favorites. You and I just, just doing our thing. Just being goofy. Just being dudes, funny guys.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Yep. And so I reposted the reel to my story. It said something like uh you know everyone loves the small everyone says they hate small talk but we all do it you know kind of something like that trying to yeah and i get a response from a woman and she says uh i think she listens to the podcast but you know whatever so i'm gonna just put her on blast here sure she responds to this instagram story about small talk hey just for clarification i'm a graphic designer with a four-year degree and you can't do four years of adobe
Starting point is 00:04:31 in canva pro in minutes you just can't learn that in minutes just saying it rubs me the wrong way at 12 54 a.m i don't this is the rate of what i say what in the world are you talking about not even any punctuation on that no puncture what in the world are you talking about what in the world are you talking about i just i didn't know i love that and then now i don't get it is basically what you said i just what and now she let me know that you know we did like some ad read for canva canva pro like canva pro four or five months ago and i get they're still running yeah like that dynamic ad in our episodes i guess so that was not on my mind because you're not a pro level graphic designer i'm not guys but with canva pro you could be in minutes in minutes so it's the
Starting point is 00:05:24 exact same thing as a four-year degree i'm sure that's what we've always tried to say we always try to be upfront and honest about whatever we said four months ago anyway just the fact that she replied to that story i was just not thinking podcast at all i was just like what this has nothing to a small talk and yeah i just go what in the world are you talking about so is this our new challenge to the ghosties like hey uh on our comments this week just comment like not no context necessary and we'll try to figure out what it is we'll try to comment back like some kind of response to some old old thing that we've said oh i see i see i see like i'm trying to think of a good example of that i don't even know
Starting point is 00:05:58 we talk i watched the uh clip kind of recently of whenever we first met the i'm down boys and then we talked about different things the i'm down boys would do and like you had that big we talked about your huge explosion like somebody comment on that like that explosion was crazy were wolves really ticklish and then we have to like figure out you know whatever they're talking about and i think i'm gonna be replying a lot what in the world are you talking about i don't get it yeah um speaking of clips real quick let's go ahead just talk about this now um our boy justin has been hard at work our editor uh we're gonna be pumping out some uh some just classic ghost runners clips i think every tuesday you all have something to look forward to now uh only about five minutes three minutes you know depends on the clip i don't know i don't care it's
Starting point is 00:06:40 your clip that's right hit clips so uh be looking out for that right here on like the ghost hunters YouTube channel. It's not a new channel or anything or anything you need to go subscribe to, but just, just the idea of like, Hey, we have our videos on Instagram, but those are condensed down to a minute. So these ones are a little bit longer stretches, but still short clips of memory is where I think we're, we've done this long enough that we have some nostalgia behind, you know, our podcast. I remember that clip.
Starting point is 00:07:04 I haven't thought about that in a long time. Like, let's watch it, you know, kind of like what we're doing the end of episodes for a while. We're just going to actually post those on YouTube for you to watch in their entirety. So check us out on YouTube ghost runners podcast. One of the couples I met, one of the ghosties that were at the show this past weekend, Cameron in Europe, I believe their names were Europe, was wearing a, an Amish jams t-shirt. And she was like, this is the bit, the segment that like got my husband to listen. Like I kept trying to get him to listen. And I finally sit on the Amish jams like segment. And then he's been like a diehard listener ever since. And he was wearing a vibes t-shirt and he's at the show. So like he's fully
Starting point is 00:07:37 in now. So the clips could be a way, you know, use it as marketing for with your friends. Yeah. Because sometimes I think the Instagram clips are pretty out of context. Like you don't really know what's going on in the Instagram clip. Like, Hey, I think we're doing okay. You think they're pretty out of context? Well, yeah, I think they are. Like, I think we don't always set them up. Like, I think the Amish jams one, we like did longer. And so we like talked about, like, we saw these things that are almost jams, but a lot
Starting point is 00:07:59 of times it's like, why are they saying freaking God over and over it again? Like, you know, it's true, you know? So they're all funny, though. I love them. Yeah. So anyway, I'm excited. Clips. But yeah, I was in North Carolina this weekend doing some comedy shows.
Starting point is 00:08:13 The trades are last time doing not last time ever, probably in a comedy club. I think that would be a pretty prideful thing to announce. Oh, yeah, I see what you're saying. Because, yeah, I'm sure we'll go back to that to test out material at some point in the future. But for now, from here on out, we're just doing theaters.
Starting point is 00:08:28 It is the official tour from this point on October 1st is when that starts. So get your ticks, uh, trade Kennedy.com slash tour. You get your ticks. So Jake can get not the ticks tick bites. I tried.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Where are we going first? October.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Two shows in Charlotte. Okay. I think. Yeah. Cause that's the thing. We're kind of excited. Like we're done with double headers now. Like we, we,
Starting point is 00:08:51 you know, gotten kind of used to this double header. And then I think our very first show is like, it's a smaller room. We're doing a double header, but for the most part, one show a night, one city a night.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Okay. It's going to be Zappity. I think we have 12 shows in the first 12 days. Cause we're pretty much traveling the whole time. And there's a few double headers in there. have 12 shows in the first 12 days because we're pretty much traveling the whole time there's a few double headers in there um so 14 shows in 12 days actually um so it'll be fun but this past weekend was pretty great it was uh um ton of ghosties greensboro north carolina greensboro north carolina did five shows is it as pretty as it sounds? It's not bad. OK. It's not as big a city as I thought it was maybe going to be. Did you ever watch One Tree Hill?
Starting point is 00:09:28 No, never. That's what I imagine all of North Carolina looking like. How come? Because I think it's based in North Carolina. OK. Just just because Michael Murray just screams North Tar Heel State to me. Yeah. It's like Outer Banks as the east part of North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I assume every other show is also a different part of North Carolina. 100 percent. Yeah. But Hannah Joy. OK. as the east part of North Carolina. I just assume every other show is also a different part of North Carolina. A hundred percent. Yeah, but Hannah Joy. OK, she was in the building. Yeah, sitting front and center. OK, yeah. Her and her husband were actually extremely loud, like in a good way.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Like I could hear them. How do you do that? Well, tell me. Tell me what that means. Like her. So I think I think it was her husband. I think it'd be really easy to be extremely loud in a bad way.
Starting point is 00:10:05 I have to find the line. Yeah. It was just like laughing, just like a little bit louder than like everyone else. Like laughing when everyone else is laughing, but also like, man, this dude loves it. And so I was excited to talk to him afterwards. It's like, I think, I assume he's probably a big ghost hunter saying he wanted to like support me or whatever. She was like, oh, he has no idea who you are.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I was like, oh, he was just genuinely laughing at her. She's like, yeah. I was like, oh, that's way better. That's a fun guy. like oh that's way better that's a fun guy oh that's awesome i love it fun guy yeah science teacher uh when we were in phoenix uh at your show there was so i forget the lady's name she was like the without a trace no she was like the host of the night she had like a very like artsy name like summer or something like that oh that girl she was the candy or yeah what was that girl's name no she was like the um like the manager of that place or something she was like running the whole place yeah the host is like the first comedian who yeah not the host sorry the yeah
Starting point is 00:10:54 what was her name it was something that was like an essential oil i'll tell you that it was like violator ganji's or something it was a river over there was it niall no um euphrates i think you honestly it was pretty much euphrates yeah whatever it was tigris um and anyway she was there with one of her friends this guy and you could tell the guy did not know trey or you and it was so fun to watch like i almost enjoyed watching them like look at each other with certain jokes and laugh to each other more than almost anything else it was like watching these two people who didn't know you guys start like falling in love with you guys. Oh, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Cause I was, it was just fun to like, be like, oh, these people have no idea who you are, but they still find you funny. Like that is really good. It's a fun proof of concept. A guy, a Sunday night after a very last show came up to Trey and said, I do not like your videos at all,
Starting point is 00:11:41 but I had a good time tonight. And so it's like, well, you know, I guess that's good. Yeah. You know, turn someone into a fan. Right. And you, yeah, that would be tough. Like, I wonder if, if people have watched just Jean short stuff and I've never listened to our podcast, what they think of us. Like, I bet, I bet some people are kind of annoyed with the big guy that yells all the time. You know, like I bet they're proud of that lesbian who drives a truck. That's right. But that guy guy that lesbo is just doing just fine with that f-150 uh anyway okay hannah joy okay appropriately loud the first very first show i met cameron and his wife uh and before it came on like before the host
Starting point is 00:12:17 even comes on just to like start the night they started playing jock jams and so cameron after the show told me he's like this is a different cameron than europe's cameron but he said i literally got chills he was like brad is here they're surprising it what brad deuce is here uh because yeah they started playing jock jams ladies and gentlemen yeah exactly oh my gosh but it shows that he gets chills from that song that song elicits something in people yes that was awesome they were great uh jake utney you recognize that name yeah him and his wife and i think his sister were all there okay they were really awesome uh celia and the crew i kind of summarized celia's voice memo last weekend she was like want to get a crew of ghosts he's there and we end up getting a crew of ghosts he's there
Starting point is 00:12:58 dude that's awesome yeah that picture was it was it the picture with like four or five of you guys yeah yeah yeah and like we just met tonight like different people that like didn't know each other. Like, that's so cool. That's like one of the coolest things I've seen is like people have become friends, you know, because of our podcast. Like, that's weird. Every show there were people in Ghostrunners merch there. And, you know, there's like meeting each other.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Like, oh, nice. Right. Namaste Jams or whatever. Yeah. That's awesome. That's so cool, guys. Another girl named Lane. I remember meeting her.
Starting point is 00:13:24 She was really nice oh and malia was there one of my my good friends i went to yosemite with malia last year she drove like three hours just to come to a show and sure he has tickets for like the actual tour like we're in detroit so i'm like you this is really nice to you this is awesome yeah no she's uh she's the man or you know like amanda bynes version yeah she's she's the malia like a hope or a bynes. I love that part. So the actual shows went well. It was interesting.
Starting point is 00:13:48 So Friday night shows were I don't know necessarily exactly why. I'm not any sort of chief meteorologist, but. First shows at seven second shows at like nine. Lot of windows at the comedy zone. Sun is beaming in, which created an interesting vibe. One, you can see everyone's face which like is not totally ideal for like kind of intimidating a viewing experience two it just heated the place up so much which i don't think they were used to because it was
Starting point is 00:14:15 unbelievably warm like i've never performed that hot before everyone in there i you know i'm i'm going on stage 10 minutes into the entire night and the entire audience is fainting themselves it's like i'm in a black church it's just like what in the world is happening everyone's feigning themselves right trey i'm only up on stage 15 minutes so i can handle it but trey by the end of a set i mean is dripping sweat i feel so bad for him because yeah it's already warm he's elevated he's got spotlights on him it was so warm and uh the crowds were like everyone had a good time i think but it just wasn't very loud it was just like whatever reaction we were getting which is not quite what we were used to so it throws you
Starting point is 00:14:49 off a bit you know we're just like ah normally that joke gets this amount of volume and it's not getting that but all right i'm just gonna power through yeah um and so they were fine but then we go back to our green room which i posted on where did i post that my story yeah i posted my story i mean it was like there's an ice machine in there there's jander's closet there's someone's desk in there there's a printer there's like it was just it was the worst green room we've ever been it's super tiny that on the thermostatic up to 84 degrees in there whoa we had like uh that's like so hot and that's where we have to stay for is so hot and with no bathroom like like you know how they have like feels like temperatures on weather apps like inside 84 feels like outside 110 i feel like
Starting point is 00:15:29 that is so like you just came you just came off stage stagnant air oh my gosh the chocolate we had um trail mix okay in there chocolate melted it was so warm in there yeah so it was melt in the green room not in your mouth like that's how i like it yeah oh my gosh that's crazy so that was the first time like whoa this is like this is kind of a tricky little north carolina does it though that's i've known they're known for that and one tree hill that's how they did it and chad michael murray when he did stand up that's how it was lucas and hayley uh aaron weber he's on nate bargazzi's podcast we've like met him performed with him he texted Trey the next
Starting point is 00:16:05 morning it was like saw that you're in Greensboro just wanted to say man good luck I have died many deaths on that stage really it's unknown yeah so we're like oh I guess people know this or did he mean did he mean because of the heat you think he just meant uh he didn't know about the heat he was just like oh the crowds they are just like known for being like less loud like more passive like more of a reserved crowd that's so interesting interesting that you can stereotype a whole city. I know. I still almost don't. Yeah, I don't buy it.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Yeah, like I would never, except for St. Louis, I would never stereotype a city like that at all. But like, because you never know. Every single night, it could be different.
Starting point is 00:16:39 It could be the different vibes. Different types of audience. Like, I don't know. I do think that the light is a big deal. Like, I think that like having too a big deal like i think that like lightning and having too much light like there's something like energetic and like exciting about a dark room for a show yeah like it's a performance it's like you're in a theater right and so if it's if it's too light out there that would make me a little
Starting point is 00:16:59 more uncomfortable yeah but and so we got the text from aaron and so it's like oh dang that's just how it is i guess and then saturday we were saved by a cold front huge storm comes in he's actually having to compete with thunder oh yeah you said that yeah it was uh it was kind of interesting but i had to stop your like set at one point like i want to let this thunder roll in real quick yeah mid like joke it's just like all right i'll wait on that. But anyway, cool, cooled off room. Way better Saturday and Sunday. So I think it was mainly the heat, I think, that affected everyone's mood and everything. So, yeah, of course. Yeah, that makes total sense.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Honestly. Yeah. So there is a lot more fun. Any good crowd work? I'm trying to think. I the old man. Not probably not. what was that guy's name that guy was awesome uh alan i think there was a guy oh what did hold on hold on oh it was
Starting point is 00:17:52 a guy asked what's your secret to marriage he said be flexible and so i was like okay not gonna go there or i forgot what i said exactly i said something like all right stretch arms no i assume i was like what are you guys owing for? I assume this guy, you look like a yoga, a yoga master, right? You do yoga a lot. Yeah, that's probably what you do.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Just out of curiosity, do you guys, because I thought of this joke immediately. So it's like, oh, I got to get to it somehow. It's like, just out of curiosity, you guys have a dog. Yes, we have one.
Starting point is 00:18:18 OK, they have one dog and I assume the breed is a downward dog. And that was fun. What is downward doggy style a little too uh inappropriate yeah that's uh that's what i thought you were gonna say yeah i probably wouldn't say that on stage i would want to though and trey would be like why don't we not yeah has trey ever said anything like hey man that joke was a little much or have you always told the line the other way i've i've asked him for permission to say a couple and
Starting point is 00:18:45 he's like ah we probably should yeah yeah and then there's been a couple times where we've during our improv song where i've said some stuff and i'm like is that okay he's like that was perfect so i'm like all right i'm finding the line okay interesting yeah well how about you tell those jokes on the patreon this week at some point because i want to know what they are if you see if i can find them yeah it was a while ago but um like i think that backstory says this video is rated p for patreon that's so funny which is just um i'll wrap up the the north carolina stuff that's great we can move on um i have questions okay no go ahead i signed a pickleball i put that on my story that was fun yeah that was really cool she she it was
Starting point is 00:19:23 our very last show so typically trey out after the last show of the weekend, we'll come out and like meet fans and everything. And so there's a line to meet Trey. Oh, life hack there. Well, I go to right now. But yeah, that was like your last chance. Maybe the Charlotte show. Go to the second one. This girl's just holding up a pickleball line like Jake. I was like, is that a pickleball? So I go talk to her and her friends and sign the pickleball. Then she just hops out of line. So it's like, you don't want to know. Nope ya i was like oh okay all right have a good one how was it signing the pickleball it's tough there's you know 40 holes per ball yeah you just go straight line on it right it was tough yeah it was tricky but i think it did all right it's
Starting point is 00:19:56 maybe next time alpha move would just be like pretend like the holes aren't there and just kind of sign it just get the marker stuck in the hole on the world you'll know it's a jay because it's there but it's probably the only signed pickleball you have so you'll probably just know this one's my signature for now uh how are you feeling as far as like on stage like like do you still get nervous are you still are you getting to the point where you're like this is i'm good i'm good with this time the first show of the weekend i'm always like jake you know what you're saying right yeah right right you know yeah you know the order of stuff but I definitely like go over it in my notes like just okay because yeah I don't get nervous about the
Starting point is 00:20:32 funny part it's the memory it's just like you you're gonna get stuck up there if you don't remember what to say next do you ever think like I'm gonna I'm gonna have these three jokes in the back of my mind just in case I forget something. Ooh, maybe I should. I would do that. I would have like, I would have like a few, like an emergency fund of jokes, Dave Ramsey style, you know, just like stored back there, just in case I just absolutely blank. I think I literally should keep them in an envelope in my back pocket and just pull them out.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Excuse me, guys. Like what did the doctor say? Yeah, just something like that. Just a classic joke. Like, all right, I'm back now. I'm back. It'd be funny to like explain it to people too. Likeyi if i get stuck i'm just gonna pull something out and like do it almost on purpose like yeah like i think people would kind of think that was funny be a
Starting point is 00:21:11 funny bit i should do more i'm not very like theatrical or even like yeah theatrical is probably the right word for it but yeah i could probably afford to do some more stuff like that just like i'm just right now i'm just pure comedy yeah just being a mic yeah yeah no props no gimmicks just raw calm when you get out there maybe it's just a little bit too like spoiler alert for people but when you got out there what are you doing with the microphone stand i don't know if you want to reveal this before people see you live i take mic off stand i move mic to my left and then occasionally throughout the set i'll go i rest my left hand on the mic stand i've started doing that that's a nice that's a pro move baby i just don't for the most part i to my left and then occasionally throughout the set i'll go i rest my left hand on the mic stand
Starting point is 00:21:45 i've started doing that that's a nice that's a pro move baby i just don't for the most part i just don't know what to do yeah i hope i look comfortable up there because i still don't it starts like the staging and the movement i don't know i'm just kind of do you ever have stools walking around they got stools i would not i would not go stool it's called stand-up comedy yeah that's right i'm not gonna sit down maybe i put my like water on the stool do you ever do you ever take water no that'd be that'd be a that'd be a power move if you go for the water and then like when i know i'm gonna get a big laugh it's like and then i told him you say the joke while they're laughing i take a sip it's like this guy knows when he's gonna get left this
Starting point is 00:22:16 guy's a pro okay or like as you're drinking the water you're like keep laughing keep laughing you take some more water you're a prop guy yeah I mean, maybe that's one thing I want to do is I want to have like a little like I don't know if I need to go all the way to Wyoming like Kanye style, but like I want to do some sort of like staycation or just I want to get away a hotel for 48 hours or Airbnb and just really, really prep for the tour. And just like, obviously, I don't think you're supposed to be writing a ton of new material that was what the past six months were for but i don't care whatever i'm gonna take the time now and write write it to the point where i'm like i'm not even nervous about this this is the funniest thing i've ever written down i think you're aware enough that you
Starting point is 00:22:56 could write new material and like you'd be like that's that's iffy or that's really good like that's ironclad you know what i mean like for the most part and i think the way to test out train i've talked about this when even when we're like performing on tour is like sandwich it between two bits that really work exactly you know don't do a whole new set like you know 15 minutes worth of essential oil stuff i'm gonna try out charlotte first night's not gonna know what hit yeah it just tried out for 30 seconds at a time okay that went great tomorrow night let's expand it to 60 you know so gotta do that um love it dude yeah uh let's see oh alan or you know long long standing pins yeah he stands he doesn't use a stool yeah that's correct he does yeah um who travels with us he saw all these
Starting point is 00:23:39 different ghosties in merch he's like dude it looks so good on people like i gotta buy some and i thought maybe he's just like blowing smoke up my body it was like yeah man you gotta get some doesn't even listen to the podcast i don't know if he's ever listened to an episode and then uh until now we're sitting two feet from each other i don't think he knew that i got notifications when someone buys merch and it says alan from tulsa oklahoma just spent 67 like dude let's go alan thanks alan thank you he's like dude i had to get an on your feet shirt he has no idea what that joke's from it's a dope shirt he loves the shirt that much he's like i had, I had to get an on your feet shirt. He has no idea what that joke's from. It's a dope shirt. He loves the shirt that much. He's like, I had to get the Jordans on a shirt.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Yeah. People love the old school. I was like, thanks, dude. That's really nice. Oh, that's cool. Let's go, dude. So maybe we should just like market to people that like maybe we should start doing Facebook ads for people who don't even know about the podcast.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Just sell the on your feet shirt. Yeah. Maybe take off Ghost Runners podcast on the bottom for a while. Just sell it. Just sell on your feet. Yeah. I love it, dude dude that's awesome uh one other girl on the last night while in line to meet trey she calls me over because i just had to tell you um well she said a few different things but i'll skip over them whatever
Starting point is 00:24:37 it's like i love the part about like you talk about your upbringing i think that's so relatable that's so good and at first i was like oh this is like genuine feedback this is good to know people like when they feel related to yada yada and usually you're upbringing your christian upbringing correct yeah and even i've started to go i just started uh i told some new jokes this weekend actually about like more specifically like growing up on a farm and what that was like and what missouri is like you know so i'm gonna lean into that more but um she's like the part about you being sheltered like that just hit so home for me like when i used to bartend at the strip club like i did not know anything they were talking about and right away i'm like okay hold on we are not
Starting point is 00:25:08 the same do not group me in oh yeah strafford yeah they used to call it strippy strap she just so quickly threw that in i was like well can we back up just become like eight balls like oh my gosh oh my we are not we are not living the same sheltered upbringing she's like when i used to bartend at the strip club like the guys would come up to me and they would like say these words like i never knew what they meant and like for instance like this one guy came up to me he's like do you party and i was like yeah i party but i don't know he meant like party party like at that point i'd only done blow like once or twice so i wasn't like really partying i was really sheltered yeah i'm like i basically lived in a shack oh you, you mean like physical shelter? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:46 You mean like you had shelter. You had to make your own shelter. Right. Oh yeah. I meant something else. I mean like my parents were like a metaphorical shelter. I mean, my parents paid for my private school. Yeah. She meant like, oh, I made a shelter out of sticks.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Yeah. She's like, I'd only done blow once or twice at that point. So I didn't know he meant like party party. Like it was a tree house though. Like that was it. Like it wasn't a full shelter. It's funny you mentioned blow because a strong wind could blow over my shelter. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Cocaine was not involved in that kind of blow. You've heard the three little pigs, right? Like the third one. Yeah, that was not my house. Right. The first two were more me. They huffed and they puffed and they blew. And then there went.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Oh, my gosh. Wow. There were me in the 70s. They huffed and they puffed. Yeah. and then there went uh oh my gosh yeah there were me in the 70s uh they huffed and they puffed yeah and then they made scarface yeah right oh my gosh so anyway that was just a fun like she thought we were just two peas in a pod how do those people get to trace shows like she said she'd never heard of us but she absolutely loved the show she went with friends okay and um bae was this hannah joy's husband's no never mind let's try to get yeah she's never heard of yeah uh no they were fun kinda um sweet woman but how many how many like is it like usually an hour worth of fans 30 minutes what's a normal like duration that you
Starting point is 00:27:00 talk to these people not each person but like total total uh so when we did we got to do two theater shows you know last spring and typically those lasted a while like even just for my my line yeah you know and i was i sucked back then people still wanted to meet me so that that probably took 30 minutes i bet you're gonna yeah it's gonna be long enough to be like kind of exhausted afterwards but i i get energy from that stuff for the most part 90 of people are really great and that it seems like a lot of very drunk women want to meet trey and the people want to meet me are like already ghost runners fans and they're awesome and it's easy yeah okay so that that's the general advice to people that do meet you in the future don't be drunk don't just be anything else that you like appreciate be able to conduct yourself and
Starting point is 00:27:45 what's what's like the perfect amount of time on on average i know obviously you're gonna hit some people you're like dude i gotta talk to you yeah is it three minutes max i think two minutes just open with something specific about you or you and i's relationship okay and then let's see where that leads us baby okay like i just open with like this yeah this is something like special about the first time i listened to ghost runner so this is like we have this mutual friend or like sure tonight specifically i loved this or whatever anything just like just go specific right off the bat yeah good that's good i don't know yeah but that does energize you i'm i'm a extrovert like that too like the the weekend when all the ghosties came into town like it was exhausting
Starting point is 00:28:23 like it was exhausting but at the same time like when i was there with them i was having so much in the moment yeah it was awesome and when they left i was like oh wow i am very tired yeah yeah that's how i feel too so um okay sorry one last thing about uh the shows specifically and then i'll let you chat about what you got going on this week but this was super super cool our our opener our host for the weekend chris he'd been doing comedy 30 years literally longer than we'd been alive how old was he 50 uh yeah 58 ish yeah i don't know um got some kids got a wife oh he might pass out in that green room yeah he was um like white undershirt then like flannel i think over anything like long sleeve flannel okay
Starting point is 00:29:05 chris is burning up yeah but uh he's been doing like carnival cruise uh comedy for a while and anyway oh there's a life hack for steve triplet if you ever want to get a free cruise just be a comedian for it steve oh i see what you're saying yeah exactly yeah i'm sure he gets paid pretty well doing that um but he was like hey i want you to stick around as soon as the show's over on sunday night i got something special for you guys i love i love it anytime anybody says like surprise like that like when i had a treat for you today you just texted me i got a treat for you i'm so excited it was it was a small treat but it was exciting very small treat yeah uh but he goes uh he goes up on stage thank you all for coming appreciate you all you know,
Starting point is 00:29:45 supporting the comedy zone of Greensboro. And I want to do something right now. He pretty much did a curtain call. He called up Alan, me, then Trey. And he said, these guys,
Starting point is 00:29:53 you know, don't know that I'm doing this. Come on up to the stage. Give him a big round of applause. I'm not kidding when I say in 30 years of comedy, that's, this has been his home comedy club when he's not like on the road or like on the sea.
Starting point is 00:30:04 And he goes, I've never done a curtain call ever in 30 years. I've never asked comedians to come back on stage like we've had this comedian, this comedian, this comedian all come through. And I just wanted you guys to know that these three guys are some of the most genuine, nicest people I've ever met in my entire life. And they're so fun and just said all these nice things about us on stage it was unreal it was like this is so cool and you had no idea it was happening like yeah it was just like what in the world and uh especially because you guys like are acting the whole time like you're not genuine no it was a character piece like you're like this
Starting point is 00:30:38 guy's a jerk for three days we just put on this fake face oh yeah every time you're like like you're like hey i gotta i gotta get in character tonight so i can't hang out genuine genuine genuine i gotta get this um anyway that was pretty cool that was something i'll probably remember for a while that's really cool just i we left some sort of impact on him just by i don't know being overall just polite people i don't know i think the bar is really low for comedians that's so sad though yeah kind of he did have a lot of stories for us with like i forget like specific comedians whatever i'm not going to dox him either way but they would be like openly like talking crap on this guy was like hey i think our opener's talking to us like while he's in the room what like yeah just like ignoring them yeah it's just like it'd be like if there was if isaac was
Starting point is 00:31:18 right here i'm like hey you remember the time that uh that one other woodworker just like totally screwed up the you know whatever just like treating him like he's deaf or like he's a two-year-old who doesn't understand english what yeah that is jake we are gonna be so famous someday but let's never not be cool okay i think we have a better chance of staying cool than we do being really famous so yeah i'm not worried about it i'm just teasing but yeah i i hope I hope not one shred of us ever changes like that. That's funny. I think I'm getting a prank call. It says no caller ID.

The only way we go home is together.
Starting point is 00:36:47 From new season now streaming exclusively on Paramount Plus. Okay, where do I start? I'll start with this weekend. So originally was planning on going to the lake with my friends. It was our friend Kevin's birthday and we were all going to go out there. My, my sister who lives in Southwest Kansas just recently, like has been like struggling with, uh, oh my gosh, with vertigo. Do you know anything about vertigo? Yeah. Uh, Liza Minnelli had it in arrested development. That's what I was going to say. Like the only thing I know is from Lucille from rest development. I think Simone Biles had something like pretty similar to that. Really?
Starting point is 00:37:22 Yeah. It's like a gymnastics version of it. Like, like she was like debilitated this whole past week to the point where she like asked my parents, like, can you please like come and help me? Like, I can't walk for like, Oh wow. Yeah. Like it's like very debilitating. Like she's just been in bed for like a week basically. And so my parents were supposed to watch our kids this weekend, but I was like, yeah, go worry about that. I can stay home. So I stayed home with the kids. Oh, you miss Lake day. I miss Lake day. Catherine was really, really excited to be away from the kids for 24 hours. So I was like, go do your thing. Um, so while you were performing in Greensboro on Friday night, I was, it was like classic, like, like, this is what I'm doing. This is what Jake's doing. Like, I was like watching the Papa tracker on my cell phone,
Starting point is 00:38:00 like, Oh yeah, they're in transit. Like, okay, here we go. Um, but yeah, it was, it was great. It was fun. Uh, but I have two different stories from this week. Uh, first one comes on Saturday. So it's a little bit of a long story. I'll strap in. And so I'll try to, I'll try to, I it's a, it's a detailed story. It's not like a super long, like turn of events, but change events, but just like, it's crazy. I'm trying to, is it better than the preface of the story or is it about like this? It's about the same, um, but I'll get there. Okay. You know what? Edit this out too. Just kidding. Um, so anyway, uh, it's Tuesday, Saturday afternoon. You're now, now you got me all flustered on my, our clips come out on Tuesday, Tuesday. Yes, that's right.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Saturday afternoon. I am the smartest dad in the world. So I decided to go to the park with my kids Saturday afternoon at two o'clock in the middle of August. Just a great time to go to the park. Okay. Cause it's super hot outside and, but there's no one else there. Cause I'm the smartest guy in the world. Uh, so anyway, super hard to yourself. Yeah, it was, it was great fun. Uh, but yeah, we only stayed probably 30 minutes. It was so hot. And I was like, Hattie, like, she didn't really want to leave the park. So I had to bribe her with, I was great fun. But yeah, we only stayed probably 30 minutes. It was so hot. And I was like, Hattie, like she didn't really want to leave the park. So I had to bribe her with. I was like, it's super hot.
Starting point is 00:39:10 We need to go. Like, I think Bo's bald head's getting burned. Like, what if we go get ice cream? Yeah. Oh, I really want ice cream cone. I was like, OK. And I was like, I was thinking we'd go get Frosty's. Love Frosty's.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Frosty's are nice. And she's like, no, I really want a chocolate ice cream cone. And like well we go to mcdonald's they don't have chocolate let's go anyway like she's like no i really want cones so we went to mcdonald's uh park get the kids out of their car seats walk up to mcdonald's and i don't know if this is every mcdonald's around the area but there's no dine-in seating at all at mcdonald's like we like jostle on the door and it's not hard jostle, hard jostle. And yeah, no, nothing there. So I was like, okay, let's just go through the drive through and eat in the car. Um, so I had the genius idea. This is mistake. Number one, genius idea to just, I was like, let's just put the kids in the front seat of the car. Um, it'll be fun. They'll, you know, they never get to do that. How do you get loves when she
Starting point is 00:40:03 gets to sit in the front without her car seat. And so I have Hattie and Bo, like Hattie's kind of holding on to Bo in the passenger seat of the car and we're going through the drive-through and mistake number two that I made. Well, yeah. Mistake number two. Yeah, we'll start with this one. So there's this little pouch of blueberry acai, like a suckable yogurt thing.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Okay. Um, that's, yeah, it's more of a puree if you will. Uh, and I was like, well, I'll give that to Bo. He's kind of being fussy. It's about his nap time. So I'll give this to him. Give him the blueberry acai pouch. He's sucking it down like in five seconds flat, just like dominate this thing.
Starting point is 00:40:40 I was like, good for you, Bo. And so since he dominated so fast, I was like, Bo might be upset if he doesn't get his own ice cream cone. That's mistake number three. So I order, I were three ice cream cones and I'm also thirsty. So I order a tea. So I'm like, uh, yeah. So we get to the window. He does go really well with ice cream. I mean, those sound like they would blend together. Great. You know what? It did. Ice cream, little tea, little ice cream, little tea. Um um and so i get to the window where they're giving me the ice cream cones and before the lady gives me anything i hear her i overhear her talking to somebody else say should i say something like and i think like the way she looked at me was she was judging me
Starting point is 00:41:18 so hard for having these two little kids in the front seat of my car on unseat belted like not like and she just, she just stared me down and I was like, hello, how you doing? Hey, it's Tony. Here's my money.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Yeah. It's Tony. Um, and so she made a mistake. Number four, she gave me the ice cream cones first and then reached out the tea. Now, if you can imagine.
Starting point is 00:41:41 So I got, I got, Oh dang, I just missed a call from Tony. I got to put my phone over here he's got alert he doesn't he know it's the wrong number and why is he star 67 me he keeps like it says no caller id yeah just be fine tony so anyway i got three cones in my hand this lady gives me two pretty average size cones one pretty big size cone okay and i'm holding these cones
Starting point is 00:42:03 and then she's like holding out this drink for me to take and i'm like i i don't know what to do with these cones like i need to give it to hattie eventually but the the cone that i had like i was i was two fisting in one hand one fisting in the other and so i gave hattie the biggest cone out of the three because it was in your right hand it was in my right hand you had to it was like you know how like the uh paper on the end of the cones like i couldn't just put it down because it would like jostle over because the paper's a little uneven. So I was like, here you go, Hattie. And eat up.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Yeah, right. I was like, this isn't going to go well. And right when I give it to her, Bo just lunges towards this thing with two hands and just like tries to like grab it and eat it. And so Bo's hands are all a mess. Hattie, for whatever reason, is wearing my like these old school like sunglasses I got from a thrift store. And I look over at her and she's got like, like ice cream, like just covering one of the shades, like one of the lenses. And I have two ice cream cones in my hand. I got this drink.
Starting point is 00:42:55 This lady's like, just staring me down, like, have a good day, you awful dad. And so then I were like, all right, we're going to go park. So then this is where the story gets just even a little bit crazier. So, um, so I kind of white bow down, but he still got this blueberry acai pouch thing. Um, of course. And like, honestly, he seems pretty like entertained with it. Like he didn't, he wasn't that interested in the ice cream every once in a while. He'd go try to lunch for Hattie's, but like, he didn't want his own. He's like his mom. And I'm like, of course he doesn't want his own ice cream cone. He's one year old, you idiot. And so, and so the whole time, like, uh, he's got this acai thing but but eventually he starts like kind
Starting point is 00:43:30 of squeezing out a little bit on hattie and so hattie's like crying about this like acai stuff on her leg and i'm like trying to wipe her down so then i i'm like okay i'm just gonna put beau on the ground in the front of the car seat or in the front of the car and so he goes on the ground in the front of the car seat or in the front of the car. And so he goes on the ground with his, this pouch. You're parked in a McDonald's parking lot. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, like the pouch itself, just like somehow explodes all over my truck, which I'm trying to sell by the way. And so blueberry acai is not the best thing to just get all over. And so then I'm like, crap. Like I thought that he had sucked this thing dry. I take it and I just have to like, like, like suck it all in. There's always more toothpaste in the tube, crap. Like, I thought that he had sucked this thing dry. I take it and I just have to like, like, like suck it all in.
Starting point is 00:44:08 There's always more toothpaste in the tube, Brad. Yeah, exactly. And there was, was it Tony again? Different number. It's got to be. Tony without star 67. Yeah. Eric.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Hello. What's your name? Uh, where's Michelle at? Michelle ain't here. Stop calling, all right, Tony? Well, why you got her phone then? I don't have Michelle's phone. Michelle switched to Boost Mobile two weeks ago and got a new one. Uh, no, Michelle didn't because I talked to Michelle the other day. Well, you talked to her on a different cell phone then.
Starting point is 00:44:49 She's got Boost Mobile now. She switched from Cricket Wireless over to Boost Mobile. Yeah. She didn't have Cricket Wireless, dumb a**. She always had Boost Mobile. It's a government phone. You got me there, Tony. Well done.
Starting point is 00:45:06 You've done your research, boy. Tony, Michelle's not here. For real. Yeah, you have the wrong number. Sorry, Tony. I don't know how you talked to her, but this is the wrong phone number. It's the wrong number.
Starting point is 00:45:24 I talked to her just a couple days ago. It wasn't i don't know my name is jake i live in kansas i don't even know who michelle adams is but you can keep calling nice guy did he did he ever say her last name i thought he did oh that's what i thought that was hilarious of you like i don't even know who michelle ray jones is like i love that i nailed the boost mobile thing she's always had oh my gosh okay sorry i hopefully tony's done calling um back to the story okay so anyway bows on the bows on the ground hattie's in her seat and he somehow like yeah explodes all this stuff and then he somehow sits in his blueberry acai pouch so he's got it all over his butt this took us yeah all over his hands he's got ice cream he just touched all these
Starting point is 00:46:22 buttons and and then i'm watching hattie with her skyscraper of a cone thinking like, this is a ticking time bomb. Like, like, like she, cause it's eventually it's going to melt. It's very hot outside. It's August. And yes, we're inside of this truck, but like that thing is melting quick. And so every time she would say something, she was like randomly, she was like, my favorite, I love Lucy episode is when they pretend like they're grandparents. I was like, Hattie, not right now. Lick your ice cream cone. Wrong number, Hattie.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Just eat the ice cream. Meanwhile, I have two in my hand and I'm just like not even enjoying. I'm just like, like just chewing on them basically. What do you do? You lick. I was, I basically, I basically went all the way down to the cone on one and all the way down to the cone on the other. Okay. I didn't know if you could like.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Just double back and forth. Yeah, yeah. No, I didn't. I just went down to the cone on the other. Okay. I didn't know if you could like. Just double back and forth. Yeah, yeah. No, I didn't. I just went, I just went cone by cone. Okay, okay. Anyway, so basically like, and then all of a sudden I look over, I don't even know how this happens. And Bo, like, you know, like people have black eyes, like Bo somehow has a white eye.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Like somehow he had like face planted his face into, into the ice cream cone. You never hear about people doing white face. Right. Ahead of the curve. Yeah. It was very white though. Let me tell you.
Starting point is 00:47:32 And so I don't even know. I mean, it is fine. Like, but Bo, by the end of it had acai, like remnants and mud from the park and like all this stuff all over himself. Had he like,
Starting point is 00:47:42 every time Bo would like reach for something, he would like put his arm on Hattie's ice cream cone like it was just a huge mess I was luckily I was laughing and it was just like I know this is my fault so I can't be upset with anybody right now um but it was just it was just an absolute mess it's yeah it sounds so extreme that it does become funny it's like a cheaper by the dozen scene like I was like this is great I'm such a fun dad like taking my kids to the park everybody gets a a cone. Ice cream cone. Yeah. Bo's going to love it.
Starting point is 00:48:07 No, no one like, especially in a confined space of your truck. And so it was just a huge mess. You're not like a new dad either. Like you've had children for over four years. You should know. You should know better than this. The one-year-old doesn't need an ice cream cone probably. The thing is like, okay.
Starting point is 00:48:23 So yeah, like in my defense we got chipotle yesterday after church and i ordered bow and hattie the exact same thing bow ate the exact same amount as hattie like bow ate the entire quesadilla bow ate more he had the beans too like i mean just he goes nuts on it so like he eats a lot and so that was my dumb rationale for it was like well i don't want bo to basically i was selfish i was like i don't want bo to have all mine so he's not gonna be satisfied with the blueberry puree yeah exactly needs more and then classic like i put the kids back in their car seats as i was leaving and this guy he's got like a blue or a green bay packers like uh like decal on his like
Starting point is 00:49:00 big huge decal on his truck and he just goes hey, Hey, I don't know if you know this, but, uh, they're actually closed inside. Thanks. Yeah. It took everything. I mean, not be sarcastic. We was like, yeah, brother. I already, I already tried. Yeah. Thank you. You got to hear the hard jostle about 20 minutes ago. Like, I think he thought I was about to get my kids out, but I was really getting them in. So, um, that's story number one of the day with, with just being a great dad lake day huh uh yeah katherine came home and i was like boy am i glad to see you uh story number two happened yesterday what days no sunday morning so katherine wasn't feeling good really katherine just
Starting point is 00:49:37 just screwed me dropping the ball just boned me out like well never mind really katherine just gypped me um yeah dropping the ball left and right she wasn't feeling good right before we're supposed to leave for church she's like Brad like I really I have vertigo right exactly like I can't do anything and so I take the kids to church by myself uh we go to a pretty big church and it's becoming more and more I think because it's the end of summer everyone's coming back to church and And so back to school. Yeah, that's right. Yep. Get your pencils.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Yeah. Bless it. Bless those backpacks, you know, all those things. And so we get there five minutes late, not that late. But the crowd, the parking lot is completely full. So crowded. Oh, you got a Jesus in the end situation here. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:50:21 And our church is big enough where they have shuttles. So you can like park off site is what they say. And they'll shuttle you over. Good for you. For whatever reason it, that just upset the heck out of my four-year-old daughter. Like Hattie just could not fathom, could not accept the fact that we had to park somewhere else. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:50:36 we can take a bus. This is going to be so cool. We're going to be on a bus. And she like threw the biggest tantrum, dude. Weird. And so like, here I am.
Starting point is 00:50:48 So first of all, imagine with me, I don't know if you can resonate with this, but I think a lot of the larger people in the audience can. I was wearing a button down shirt. And if you wear a button down shirt, that's a little too tight. Okay. Every once in a while, one of the buttons just comes undone. Really? Has that ever happened to you? No, I can't say.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Like, like, I think like I'm sucking in, but every once in a while, like push out and like the button just fully undoes itself. Yeah. Fully. And usually it's like the one right in the middle. It's like a magic, right in the button area. And so, um, so anyway, that's, that's just a little bit of a, whatever, like, and so these people are waiting for me to get on the bus, all these nice church people.
Starting point is 00:51:19 And Hattie is just like screaming and like not willing to cope. So I like, I put Bo on the bus and the bus driver is like holding him back. And so Bo starts crying, like screaming. And I'm like, Hattie, like, you know, I'm like trying to be chill and cool, but like at the same time, like get on the bus. She's like, I'm not getting on the bus. I, you know, I didn't want to, I don't want to get on the bus. So I pick her up and just like, just manhandle her in there.
Starting point is 00:51:41 And she's kicking and kicking. Oh my gosh. Yeah. And like, I, we go and sit down on the, on the, in the car or in the bus kicking oh my gosh yeah and like i we go and sit down on the on the in the car in the bus and i'm looking down and i have like three buttons they're like two buttons just right here bare skin no undershirt yeah yeah that's the worst part it's summertime should have gone undershirt on it so yeah all these people you know watching this watching this single dad is what it looks like like he has got he has the kids for the weekend
Starting point is 00:52:02 i probably has boost mobile yeah right struggling with these kids this one girl's just crying and you know i'm trying to be cool because i feel like as a parent when your kids are crying the the best thing to do is to be chill because like if you're really mad and mean at the parent right the kids then everyone else is gonna be way more uncomfortable than if you're just like it it's okay, it's fine. You know, whatever the kids, am I right? Uh, but anyway, it was, it ended up being fine. The icing on the cake though, is that, so we went to the nine 30 service that I got there at like nine 55. And then Catherine and I were scheduled to work the nursery, the, uh, one year old room, uh, at 11 o'clock. So how do you wasn't, or Catherine wasn't there. And so I had to do it. Luckily I had, I had somebody that like was able to sub with me, but there were nine little kids in there,
Starting point is 00:52:48 eight boys and one girl. Wait, so it's Hattie just chilling in there with all the one-year-olds and you? No, no. Hattie's, Hattie's in her Sunday school as well. She just stays in Sunday school longer. So yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, and so that's just a fiasco as well. Like I got like these kids just like, like bawling their eyes out with snot coming down their nose. Oh my God. I had a, I had a Yeti like water bottle and like somehow it got dumped over. I'm just like, this is the best day ever. Oh my gosh. I love this so much.
Starting point is 00:53:13 You know, everything about it was just wild. Like these kids were like, like trying to pull my pants down, like trying to like grab onto me so much. And I'm like, it's okay. You know, whatever. Luckily I had, I had a decent attitude about the whole thing, but it was just chaos. Like I was like, I can't believe this is happening two days in a row. Like, why does this have to happen to me? But the past 15 minutes have been the best birth control I've ever heard of. This is, this is fascinating. It was, it was
Starting point is 00:53:37 just like, yeah. And that's how every single Sunday goes by the way. No, I'm just kidding. Do you get to that? Or like, how do I want to ask to ask this like as a parent i'm sure i don't want you to make you feel bad i'm sure every parent goes through this like at certain times you're like why did we do this why did we sign up for this you ever feel that maybe every parent doesn't feel that way i feel like i would i don't think maybe maybe right when we right when we first had hattie maybe i thought that but i don't think so right i don't i don't remember specifically ever feeling that way i I mean, yeah. If you, if you were to ask me consciously, like, Hey, do you think life would be easier if you didn't have your kids? I was like, yeah, but it wouldn't be as fulfilling. That's not why you do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I've
Starting point is 00:54:16 ever like regretted by any means, uh, but definitely have like had thoughts of, yeah. If you would ask me like, Hey, would this be easy? I was like, yeah, of course. Like a dad who's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I had a kid to make my life easier. And this is not working at all. Wait a second. The tax write-offs alone were supposed to be great. They're not as good as you think. They're fine. I'm still having to pay for two ice cream cones every time I go to McDonald's. So that sucks so that sucks exactly yeah they don't tell you about all the extra food you have to buy and the diapers this girl eats almost every day this is adding up oh man yeah starting to nap every now and then and that's expensive and that's we've had to build her a bed that sucks yeah no yeah it yeah it's funny like i think you just get so or less i think you get more desensitized
Starting point is 00:55:08 to stuff like that like like i don't i don't like like in this nursery with all these kids like three of them were crying at once and i was just having a conversation with this other lady like it was like yeah kids are crying no big deal and i would probably just lose my mind like yeah 100 hey can everyone everyone even all the babies everyone just shut up everyone i think we all have a better time if we all just stop crying like like if someday your cousin steve and your sister like have babies yeah get married to different people where are you going i know you're from missouri but get married different people have babies and all of a sudden there's like three kids in the house and there's you you're gonna think it's
Starting point is 00:55:44 like utter chaos and they're gonna be like they kids in the house and there's you, you're going to think it's like utter chaos. And they're going to be like, they're not even going to think twice about it because they're going to be used to it. Cause yeah, they've been raising that kid together for a couple of years now. So I, I've passed the weird part. That's just me.
Starting point is 00:55:54 My sisters both had kids. I just remember thinking like there are two kids in this house. This is nuts. And now like we go on, you know, family stuff and I'm like, this is just how it is. So yeah. Anyway, you become desensitized stuff like that'm like, this is just how it is. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Anyway, you become desensitized, stuff like that. It's not as big of a deal. That makes sense. So anyway. It makes sense. So, yeah, I was. Yeah. Just I was trying to be a good dad.
Starting point is 00:56:15 I don't know if I was this weekend. I don't know if I had good intentions. I will say my intentions were pure. I don't know if my execution was flawless, but good intention, dad. Anyway, those are the two main things I have from this this past weekend. That's a those are chunky things. That's a lot. I posted on the Patreon a video of us going through the drive through.
Starting point is 00:56:34 But I have another video I'm going to post on the Patreon this week. Now that they've heard the story of like them, like while the while the. Yeah, I think there's one of Bo's wide eye and there's one of just like the chaos with Hattie, like having ice cream all over. I see that yeah it's awesome so that's great anyway yeah um as soon as we're done with this podcast i'm going to meet up with someone to buy something off facebook marketplace brad is he sick and so you have to go to his house no we're meeting at a quick trip gas station that's where i always meet it's nice, it's nice.

But obviously, this is not a time to just put golf irons.

Or my sister has her own kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:02:25 and then they blow on i have a lot of like friends in my life who still be like about once a year i go back and watch the lm we bought a limo national treasure like oh that reminds me deep cut uh i've been going back to my facebook memories and posting some of them every now and then just old facebook statuses and whatnot but it'll tell you like this day in history what you did i think i'm right somewhere with that a couple days ago it was like you know three years ago on this day you posted this video from lme bottle limo and i'd forgotten maybe i've told the story in the podcast before but it doesn't seem fresh so you know for our millions of new listeners here's a story and it's one of my favorites thank you guys by way, we go back through Ty and Kyle's
Starting point is 01:03:05 hometowns. We wanted to do something fun and great for the community there. Ty's sister was a teacher. Oklahoma is somewhat like notorious for like having like very underfunded schools. That's like a big thing. And like their politics. Yeah. Yeah. We donated a bunch of money from our GoFundMe for certain schools to get school supplies. We showed up in the limo. We dropped off all these school supplies. It's an awesome thing. A couple of news stations show up. A Spanish speaking news station was there, which was really fun. Ty spoke Spanish. We didn't. They still interviewed all of us. I don't know why they did that. I'm just like, see, whatever he said. I don't know. I trust him. Yeah. Anyway, this one news station, they interview us. They speak
Starting point is 01:03:43 English. It goes well. They ask us, you know, a lot of the typical questions. Why are you doing this? Are you having fun? What are you going to do if you meet Ellen? Which at that point, we were so tired of hearing that question because we're like, we don't even care that much about it. You know, this is, we're just doing this for us, kind of. This is like just something for us to do and help people out along the way. But so Kyle chooses some new answer that we haven't done before. He goes, you know what? If I met Ellen, I think I would actually try to hang out with Portia more. I think I would want to hang out with Portia. Um, maybe coffee, maybe tea. I don't know, like balls in her court kind of thing. So whatever kind of funny answer, I guess. But the news, uh, story comes out a couple of days later
Starting point is 01:04:18 and they post it to their Facebook. Do you remember the story? They did like this kind of like buzzfeed thing where instead of like taking our actual audio they tried to make it this like inspirational 60 second video and so there was none of our actual audio there was like this light like copyright free music in the background right with captions for like what we were saying but they butchered kyle's words a little bit and so what it said when he when he goes i'm clueless probably about who porsche is exactly yeah i know you got it so kyle in quotes on this like facebook page with like tens of thousands of followers it says kyle brown ellen fan i would love to hang out with
Starting point is 01:04:58 the unfortunate sometime maybe coffee or tea balls in your court. Let me know on your boost mobile phone. If you could hang out, it just made him seem like this got posted. Just like, wait, are they doing a good thing? Or like, is he keep himself distance from the unfortunate?
Starting point is 01:05:14 The unfortunate someday? Sure. Not, not right now. Like in California though. Like once we get there, once I get to Ellen, I would love to hang out for that.
Starting point is 01:05:22 Oh, it just seemed so callous. And so just like yeah maybe balls in your court but if we are going to hang out it's only going to be coffee or tea I'm not doing any kind of benefit fundraiser I'm not doing it oh yeah that cracked me up remembering that so that's great I hadn't heard that story I love if how much money does somebody have to send you on Venmo to get in your close friends if they're not there already all my close friends the close friend story up with jake is pretty good uh i think you can't pay for it good it's just just for me and my close friends okay tell your deepest darkest secret to jake and then maybe
Starting point is 01:05:55 maybe coffee or tea yeah balls in your court no the the status updates have been great like just went to the mall 11 years ago just got back from the mall just saw tokyo drift just saw fast and furious tokyo drift i'm born in kansas city go usa i think that would i think the olympics must have been on i don't know why i said go usa awesome yeah uh so yeah those have been nice but uh cool anyway how'd we get there iron oh vinmo yep natural treasure i have some shout outs let's get some shout outs you want to get So yeah, those have been nice, but, uh, cool.

Uh, his mom said he is our biggest fan, which got a Ghost Runners t-shirt for your birthday, your fifth birthday. Happy birthday to Sam. His mom said he is our biggest fan, which we have a lot of them. Biggest fan, Sam.
Starting point is 01:06:50 He's pretty short, though, so I don't know how big of a fan he truly is. Maybe he's a circus performer and he wears stilts sometimes. That could be. It could be why he's our biggest fan. That would make sense about the top hat. Yeah, and the line in the background. Start to piece together this picture I saw. Yeah, it makes
Starting point is 01:07:05 more sense shout out to sam that's my first one okay i'll start with a human as well shout out to steven i met him after our final show in north carolina and we had a nice talk he was like a really uh like just great kid it was fun to chat with him and at the very end of our talk you know we've been talking a few minutes he goes oh by the way i've been like watching all your videos ever since like juggling josh or maybe even before that i was like whoa you gotta open with that dude that's crazy that's so cool like this dude was watching me drop a hot talk off of a skyscraper right three and a half years ago and now like he saw me perform stand-up comedy yeah you probably want to hear that at the beginning of a relationship or like a talk conversation i already liked him
Starting point is 01:07:42 but that made me like him even more well and, and that would also like show that like, he knows things about you that you don't have to like say again sometimes. That's right. It gives me stuff to talk about. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So be specific at the beginning. Go back to that tip. Okay. Nathan. Um, okay. I have a shout out to the Instagram accounts that are, you know, whatever Ellis family, but really it's just the mom that just controls the whole account.

And I thought it was like, I don't kind of tell them what you want. You tell them, here's what I want. Here's my budget. You know what, here's the specifications we want. And then they find it for you. And it is,
Starting point is 01:10:38 it was like, it's like $400. So it's a little bit of money, but I guarantee you we're going to make, like, we're going to save so much money because of them. Like sweet. Yeah. Like already like we looked at like I found a car on cars.com. I was like, this looks awesome. He's like, do not buy that. I looked at this report in this report. It's been in a really major accident. Show me the car facts. Yeah. Well, it wasn't car facts. It was like some other like deeper thing. Show me the one request. So anyway, one request. Check them out if you're ever looking for a minivan for your family. So I'd like to give a shout out to some signage that I saw Saturday during the day.
Starting point is 01:11:08 OK, Trey and Alan, I got away to play some golf, a little par three course shot. Eighty three. Not well as par three course. So hopefully I would not shoot 83 that day. But yeah, I know golf. I am looking for my ball in an area not super heavily like lush with, you know, greenery, but I'm in the middle of looking for my ball. And then to my left, I see a sign that says, beware of snakes.
Starting point is 01:11:32 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'd like to give a shout out to whoever had to put that sign there. I'd like to give a hard way. Yeah, I would just snakes are all over, but it has to get pretty bad. Yeah. Like we should probably put up a sign. Yeah. Like that's where they hatch.
Starting point is 01:11:47 That's it's really dangerous. That's where they shed their skin. Yeah. So they're mad. They get a hold of other people's skin. Oh, no. I've seen snakes in a lot of areas and I've never had to, you know, thought we should put a sign or like someone should put a sign there.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Like it must get pretty nasty up in there. So do you just you just get a new ball? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Goodbye. Goodbye. A hundred percent. Like it must get pretty nasty up in there. So do you just, you just get a new ball? Oh yeah. Yeah. Goodbye. Like nevermind. Yeah. So play it as it lies or whatever they say.

Starting point is 01:12:32 Yeah. People really, really liked that one. Yeah. It was nice. I don't think I fully processed it cause we were in such a hurry at the time, but it was awesome.
Starting point is 01:12:39 It was fast. Yeah, it was good. Uh, I got a few more. I'd like to give a shout out to, uh, everyone I've been in a group
Starting point is 01:12:45 chat with recently just not responding uh that's been cool we didn't sign up for a basketball league because i couldn't figure out who could play in time really um all right sorry no you were you were great yeah i was fine i was fine i didn't i didn't respond right away though but you'd already told me in person yeah that you were not gonna play but i think sometimes there's a little bit of etiquette there or a little bit of like awareness of like hey other people aren't responding you should respond anyway in the group chat to start the snowball yeah so i'm apologizing for not doing that quicker no i don't put that on you um i sent in the middle oh this is kind of fun every night of the shows i would come off stage and then weirdly get in this adult mood where i would just like do something that's like i should it feels like something i should do at
Starting point is 01:13:26 11 a.m and that was my checkbook real quick yeah so friday night i get off stage and i sold all my dogecoin i had been hanging on to kind of a dangerous amount like two like okay borderline like just an unsafe amount of it like what if it fought and i was like it's back to where i bought it at let's just get out peaks and bubbles i made like 90 dollars it's back to where I bought it at. Let's just get out. Peaks and bubbles. I made like $90. I was like, good enough. Good enough. I'm getting out of this. That'll get you some irons. Pulled the trig on that.
Starting point is 01:13:50 And then the next night, I booked all of our stuff for Hawaii while Trey was on stage. I actually, maybe I'll put up a picture right now. If you could see the room I was in, because I sent a picture and sent it to all of them. And then I'm booking an Airbnb on a golf course in Hawaii. Yeah, beautiful place. nothing like booking yeah hawaiian vacation
Starting point is 01:14:08 when you're in the literal opposite of hawaii i would ask you like where you're gonna stay but you probably don't know because it's all the same syllables and different orders nine different letters yeah so it's hard to know it starts with the w okay oh waialea beach waialea beach yeah look at you hawaiian baby uh and then Sunday night, what did I do Sunday night? Oh, I think it's when I pulled the trig on the golf irons. Yeah, I was like, I messaged a few different people. I was talking to Peter, which irons you like, whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:34 Where am I going with this? What's the shout out? Shout out to. Oh no, oh yeah. So I do all this work, I'm booking stuff. I'm sending all these Airbnb options like the night before. This is like at 2 a.m. I've been, just got done hanging out
Starting point is 01:14:45 with like Malia, Celia, the crew we have to cook out. We got kicked out of this parking lot. But we got kicked out of the parking lot by some civilian driving a truck with a green light on it. And all the girls were like, okay, green light on top.
Starting point is 01:14:56 No green light, like on the interior of the car, like in front of the windshield. I don't know. It might be North Carolina thing. Greens, Greensboro. Greens. I didn't even think. Yeah, that's why it is he might have been the mayor yeah anyway green there's like
Starting point is 01:15:10 this lawn furniture set up in front of a really nice like bougie little like coffee shop slash i think they sell plants or something it's right next to cookout so it's like cookouts closed on the inside my dad's calling me sure sure sure i'm really getting fired up tony yo well you had a good day then didn't you i told hey you're on the uh you're on the podcast right now me and brad are recording right now well sure i'm on the podcast yeah i texted my dad that i shot an 83 and he just called me a cheater he knows his boy hey brad i'm done talking talking to Brad. Brad doesn't respond to my text. Oh, come on! Currently trending.
Starting point is 01:15:47 That was a funny text, Brad. It deserved a response. Why did you text Brad? After that debacle on Bohemian Rhapsody, he redeemed himself the next week. And by the way, we've got a whole video of him singing it the first time. Oh, good. Send it to us.
Starting point is 01:16:04 Some blackmail. A little Patreon action. I told Mom, I said, hey, send that to me just in case I need it on Brad. And so the next week, he knocked out a park. And so a few hours later, Bohemian Rhapsody was on the radio, so I took a picture of it. And I texted to Brad, and I said, they're good, but they're not Brad Ellis good.
Starting point is 01:16:21 He did. He did. That deserved a response, Brad. It did. You're right. I was working with your son at trey kennedy's house trying to make money yeah i don't care all right well you gentlemen enjoy your podcast and you guys have a great day now we'll talk to my son later hey give us give us a tip give us a tip a tip any kind of tip just on life tip on life tip on food tip on like what are we ordering you know for food services these days anything always tip very generously okay a tip on tipping
Starting point is 01:16:58 i don't think you understood the question no that's great that's great now you guys just caught me off guard and everything i could think of the sarcastic tip was inappropriate we're never inappropriate uh i'm just gonna hang up and uh i'll holler at you later okay i'll call you in like 45 minutes i'll give you a call sometime too stevie all right see ya bye-bye i texted i responded just now with a bunch of all caps ha ha ha ha so i thought i'd responded i'm sorry steve i i genuinely didn't think i had responded sorry i'll get back to the parking lot greensboro story but i didn't respond to my dad this week too because he sent me he sent me this picture which i'll put on the screen now and i'll show to you
Starting point is 01:17:42 brad and he said not sure what's happening. No, he said, not sure what is getting ready to happen. I'll describe it for people on audio. My dad's at a car wash. You could see the correct opinions as playing in the car. OK, there's a car in front of him. There's a guy standing there. This is what this should have been a time where I would have said, what in the world are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:18:02 That's what I should have said. What do you think I should have said, Brad? Slash Ghostrunners listeners who are watching this on YouTube. How do you interpret this photo? I guess I guess if I were you, I would have gone to the part that he's in on the podcast and seen what he was like talking like what you were talking about. And then if if you didn't figure it out from there, I would just say, what in the world are you talking about? I called him a few days ago and I pretty much said like, I had no idea what you're saying. And he goes, oh, that guy in blue jeans, he doesn't even work at the car wash.
Starting point is 01:18:30 He just stands there. He just, he just, he just stands there. And like he said, every day I go, my dad has a car wash membership. He loves it. He goes every single morning. It's awesome car wash. He says that guy stands there in his blue jeans, doesn't work for the place and just watch his cars get washed.
Starting point is 01:18:44 I was like, okay, with contacts. That's that is pretty hilarious Does he talk is he there like to talk to somebody else at least maybe I don't know that's weird It's could be like a Walter White situation like he owns the car wash, but he also owns Jesse Pinkman. Yeah, right Steve Triplett just texted back too late with four exclamation point Dude, if we ever have enough money, I think we should own a car wash. I think that's a very good investment. Really?
Starting point is 01:19:08 It seems like, yeah. The fact that Travis Kelsey bought one shows that this is a good investment. It runs itself. He can do a lot with his money. Yeah. I don't know how expensive it is to start,
Starting point is 01:19:17 but like the one that I have the membership to is churning out people. Like I bet there was one time it was a very long, like the longest line I've ever seen there, but I bet it was a hundred cars deep. That yeah because but it went so fast so it went so fast anyway we're eating cookout beautiful night it's like midnight perfect weather i'm with all these new friends old friend we're like oh we just got cookout where should we eat it um oh there's
Starting point is 01:19:40 lawn furniture right there this is perfect we're like eating our food. And then, yeah, some guy in a truck comes up. Hey, sorry, y'all got to y'all got to move. And there is. All right. I was like, no, we don't. What is that guy in charge of? Why are we moving? Oh, maybe so mad.
Starting point is 01:19:56 Did you move? We kind of like slowly moved away. And yeah, just eat it as we're moving. He went to the Krispy Kreme parking lot or just kind of watching us. I was like, I don't know what this guy does. But then these four high school kids came up and they were pushing their friend in a shopping cart. I was like, this is why people get kicked off the parking lot. That is hooligan.
Starting point is 01:20:13 Yeah, yeah. Thanks. There might be some rule in place, but I think you got to look at the context like, hey, here's some people in their upper 20s eating milkshakes. I think we can probably let them hang out in parking lot. No, I think so. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's too bad.
Starting point is 01:20:24 How did I get there? I don't know. Shout out. Basically, oh, my Hawaii group text was just, it was just me and Kristen. She listens to the pod. Just me and Kristen texting back and forth. Shout out to you, Kristen. Thank you for responding to Jake. Yeah, thank you. Shout out to, you got a few more.

Starting point is 01:26:23 shout out to SSDGM. Stay sexy, don't get murdered. Last, but certainly, actually the best, not even not least, is shout out to Jeff Brower and your boy Josh55 for an incredible cameo that I got sent. I sent you, I texted it to you. Can we play it here? Yes, we can.

Starting point is 01:28:57 like us to listen to some voice memos brad let's do it baby i'm excited this first one comes from one of my friends that's fun what's up brad and Jake? This is TJ. I know Jake from K-West, and I was cracking up listening to Brad's ransom video story that they made at camp, and it got me thinking how campers will believe any characters you make and really buy into them. And I think Jake should share his Lampy Limit story from his K-West days
Starting point is 01:29:21 and how he had to apologize to the entire camp and how Matt Ford had to perform as every 116 rapper due to our lack of diversity that year. I think whether you're a can of cooker or not, you will love the story. And my wife and I still crack up all the time thinking about that party. And so love the podcast. You guys are amazing. Keep up the great work. Lack of diversity that year. Every other year it was like, it was, I mean, yeah it was i mean a perfect oreo i mean the year before we had manny too so we had two of them we went down 50 percent
Starting point is 01:29:51 in diversity uh but then we got sylvia manny's sister so we went right back okay uh tj you're the man that's so cool that you listen and uh one quick story about tj so he was a videographer at camp and he you know every two weeks he has to turn out like a term video. Yeah. They stay up late. You're a videographer. That's why you stay up late. It's just the thing you do. It's the thing you do. Yeah. And it's pretty like cookie cutter. Like what camp wants these videos to look like. There's kind of a format to it. It's like an electric guitar, like instrumental song. You don't get that too much creative. You know, you have to use these songs. But anyway, TJ did that for a number of summers when we came through chicago in the limo i think we met up with tj for a bit they we they
Starting point is 01:30:30 showed us around some places and via some pictures and videos that tj took he made us our own term video like with the candy cook music and like specialties you know like instead of basketball to be like seeing the bean that's hilarious like i don't remember much about it but i remember like that was just like amazing i was like that's that's that's just a that's a great friendship thing just to like go out of your way a little bit to do something like that it made an impact that was awesome he spent time on that yeah yeah it meant a lot that's really funny with the song like that that would be so funny it was like a spot-on recreation of the that's amazing um okay lampy city limits it was this this was like my fourth year on programs my sixth summer at camp so i had you know a decent amount of experience and every year candy cut gives you
Starting point is 01:31:07 the party themes and you choose the ones you want to do i mean nine months before choose the ones you want to do we always had to do all of them you did all like all eight or whatever no there was only four no go ahead whatever oh maybe they maybe i just had more privileges than you did maybe word would ask me like what parties i wanted to do interesting because i think there were eight you could choose from k2 would do like six but yeah we'd only do four interesting okay um anyway regardless of theme i was like word i already got one i'll just i'll make it work with whatever theme we need but i have this like vision like this is the most like creative i've probably ever been like i don't think this way anymore but like this i decided for this production this whole event this whole night where it was gonna be like instead of austin city limits which you've
Starting point is 01:31:47 been to you got to respond to see migos tanner josh and heath yeah and uh oh one of the people i met this weekend they were like i was the one who sent the voice memo in about acl about tearing my acl she was acl buddies with you okay and then we just took it ran with it we're like oh yeah you went to ac ACL with her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so funny. That needs to be a clip. Justin. Justin, write it down.
Starting point is 01:32:08 Tanner, Josh, and Heath. Okay. I wanted to do like a music festival, even though I'd never been to one. I still never been to one. At camp, using our counselors as performers and just playing all the typical like bangers at camp, but us like lip singing them and making it epic. And, you know, we had tickets. You could like scalp tickets you could win tickets you know you we had like barcodes and all this stuff and uh big banners whatever it was just awesome i put
Starting point is 01:32:34 every ounce of effort i could into it it was so sweet but this idiot first year counselor i want to think his name was matt hay i'll just go ahead and say his first and last name whatever i haven't talked to him at all this could be a way to reconnect i'm pretty sure that was his name just the whole name and uh he's like going around just being like hey kids you hear lecrae's coming tonight i heard lecrae's coming which is like the biggest christian rapper and like he's definitely not coming but it is possible because he has come to camp before. So that gets every single kid in camp just so fired up. Like, yo, like term one, like Lecrae is coming. Lecrae is coming.
Starting point is 01:33:11 Everyone is talking about it like days leading up to it. I'm like, this is the exact opposite. Like I had a meeting with everyone and told you specifically not to say that. That's the only thing that will ruin this party is if kids have too high of expectations. Yeah. The entire camp, you know, 250 kids are expecting the biggest name in Christian rap to be like the cherry on top of the end of this party is if kids have too high of expectations yeah the entire camp you know 250 kids are expecting like the biggest name in christian rap to be like the the cherry on top of the end of this party right and then poor manny comes out give us lecrae no this isn't him
Starting point is 01:33:40 and so he's just like yeah he's just like represent trying to like lip sync this song and oh my god every other term it went amazing with the nike crows yeah but just that one term i mean every kid for multiple days had just been told all these rumors like yeah i think lecrae's coming and i was just so i mean i wasn't devastated but i was like dude it doesn't take much to like you know for a 13 year old to like ruin their experience yeah i put so i've been waiting for this for so long and if you just said hey here comes like if you're at the party and you say and welcome to the stage look ray like people would get excited for two seconds and then they'd see manny be like oh so it's like a goofy version of the party like and leading up to it the 10
Starting point is 01:34:23 previous performers were other counselors that they know. So I don't think you would have expected it at that point, you know? See, okay. In hindsight, then, I think you got to do Lecrae at the very beginning of the concert. Because that man seemed like he were holding out the real performer for the end. Well, term one, it did seem like that. But otherwise, in a normal night, it's like, yeah, our counselors are the performers. And this is fun.
Starting point is 01:34:42 And we would have like the dance, especially like we had choreographed like dances right like it looked like a concert it was so sick who else did you have come like brit nicole was there um we had we actually had a decent amount of diversity that year because i think uh or no darius was visiting one night darius playing it perfect he happened to be there looks a little like tadashi if it's dark you know so we did chainsaw. We had an entire family force five. Like they're all dressed in like lumberjack year that the year chainsaw came out. And then Darius does the Tadashi verse. Like we, we pulled it off with the right people and dressed to the nines.
Starting point is 01:35:14 Exactly how you need it to. It was so fun. That is awesome. But not term one. Cause I'm Matt. Hey, you hear me, Matt? Hey, I still remember your name. That's too good, man.
Starting point is 01:35:26 So yeah, anyway. Gosh, camp was awesome. It is. We made the most of it. Best time of our lives. Yeah. Truly. That is the only time I regret having kids
Starting point is 01:35:35 because I'm like, I can't work at camp anymore unless I have like a director or something. Dude, speaking about the best time of our lives, in the middle of me shooting the best golf in my life today, I just had this moment while looking for Isaac's ball. Wow wow not mine sorry bud sorry buckaroo but i was like yeah kind of this interesting moment i was like this is like brad and i are like becoming comedians as much as i don't want to admit that and i get a little conscientious of how that comes across like i think more than likely we're going to look back at this point of our life like the podcasting the first years of our podcasting days like that was
Starting point is 01:36:09 when it started to happen for us like that was when like look at us now like that was when we didn't know that all this was going to happen obviously we don't know what that is 10 years from now yeah but there's a good chance that you and i are both going to have a career in comedy which is crazy yeah oh definitely yeah, definitely. Yeah. Yeah. But I think we've set ourselves up well. And like, barring some massive controversy, you know,
Starting point is 01:36:30 I think I should have no problem becoming a standup comedian someday. Yeah. Even when I have a wife, it gets like, we're in a position to do that. Sure. That's crazy. We're not going to be jerks when we,
Starting point is 01:36:39 we'll be nice to Chris in the, in the room with the Grenadine and the malt liquor. Who are you? I don't remember you. I'm from the ice machine room. You know me. You know when the facts, we would get facts when I would come off stage. 84 degrees.
Starting point is 01:36:54 Nick Lachey, 98 degrees. No, it's not even close. Yeah, dude. Anyway, I don't know why I'm saying all that. I think you said best time of our lives, but it's like we have so much ahead of us, which is crazy. Yeah, dude. I'm excited. I'm always excited about the future.

And so he had to send it back
Starting point is 01:37:48 and everything. And you got it taken care of. Yeah, I did. Of course I did. We absolutely love it. Of course you do. Just a suggestion. If you have a gift that you need to get anybody, Ellis Custom Creations is the way to go. So Brad, that leads me to my question. What is one thing

Starting point is 01:39:20 i think twice ever not ever but like ever like not very often do i ever screw up on uh like anything like this and two of the times i've screwed up on things are when i've made them for ghosties oh so too much pressure this one i don't know it's just yeah um so the first one was with natty hope uh well it was for anna skulls who bought it for natty hope who uh she like i put i spelled her last name wrong like she was getting engaged no yeah i spelled it h-o-a-p i was like gosh oh that's yarp oh yeah i yarped it uh crap i don't remember your new last name natty i'm sorry but anyway spelled their last name wrong so i just had to send a new cutting board for them and that's fine uh first of all just quick shout out to Natty Hope.
Starting point is 01:40:07 I feel like she's like, she's a super fan. I think she might've been our first patron. No, actually, Justin was our first patron. She was definitely the first one that ordered merch. But yeah, like she is the first on like so many things. Huge fan. Memphis. She's going to be the show.
Starting point is 01:40:18 She also ordered a cutting board for me for Anna Scholes. Yeah, it's okay. She got it already. Yeah. Yeah. she's awesome just huge natty i hope also that's not her name is it is it natalie natalie okay okay natalia i hope you haven't bought a ticket for the member show because i want to hook you up with one oh if you have bought one sell it on cg give it to anna give danis calls or chris hi chris hey chris
Starting point is 01:40:40 my friend he's worked at k country with me he's no way. He's how they found out about the podcast. Oh, thanks, Chris. Anyway, first one messed up with hers. The second one messed up. Like, I just put the wrong date. I think it was 8-26 or no, it's whatever. It was 8-13 maybe or whatever day it was. And I think I put 6-13. Almost.
Starting point is 01:40:59 And yeah, his brother Will was like, hey man, this looks great except for the date's wrong. And I looked back at his text. It was 100% my fault. There's no, there's no one iota of it. That was his fault. Like it absolutely said this same with Natalie's or Anna's whatever. Uh, so sorry guys. Uh, what's the question? Oh, what do I want to build? Um, I, yeah, I don't know if I want to, yeah, I guess this is my answer. Have you seen those epoxy pour tables where it's just like they take a. I think so, actually. Yeah. Like they're pretty popular on Instagram and stuff. So like they take a piece of wood and then they kind of make a
Starting point is 01:41:33 border like mold around it. And then you pour this clear epoxy on the other side and it kind of like you can either put it in between two pieces of wood or on the side of pieces of wood. And they're really cool. They're also like pretty high maintenance, pretty expensive. And so I've never built one just because I, yeah, it's just, it's expensive and no one's really, no one's asking too much for that. And I'm not going to like just build one for fun. Hey, don't put it past Natty Hope. Natty Hope, what you doing later? Uh, go to Gatlinburg for a epoxy table. Um, that sounds inappropriate. What'd you do? You want to go to Gatlinburg? You're going to Gatlinburg for a epoxy table. Um, that sounds inappropriate. What'd you do it? You want to go to Gatlinburg for an epoxy table? Pour over tables? No. So I've always wanted to do one there. Yeah. Some, some woodworkers are, it's kind of like a hot topic with woodworkers. Some
Starting point is 01:42:17 like purists think, Oh, like epoxy tables are not real woodworking or whatever. I just think they look really cool. So I want to build one. Who cares? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's like, it's like one of those things where like, well, it's a shortcut. That's not a real table. It's like, what does it matter? You can eat on it.
Starting point is 01:42:32 People like it. Yeah. That's all that really matters. So do you like it? Yeah. I saw somebody actually, I was at the woodworkers guild today and they had done an epoxy table and he's like, yeah, that's $700 worth of epoxy on this. And it was like so much epoxy. It was tiny.
Starting point is 01:42:44 So anyway, it's expensive. So it's not cheap, Natty, but thank you for ordering one. yeah that's 700 worth of epoxy on this and it was like so much epoxy it was tiny so anyway expensive so it's not cheap natty but thank you for ordering one all right let's get on to our reviews of the week and uh if you're listening to this on monday feel free no never mind that's too late never mind um let's go to our reviews of the week the title mine says all right big mama get ready to push long time listener first time reviewer catching up on some missed episodes i'm currently listening to episode 98 hearing you guys talk about harry potter and how you don't get it is so heartbreaking however i'm willing to move past that because you guys are hang loose emoji hang loose emoji hang loose emoji hang loose emoji seriously this is the
