It sounds like a guy you want to go hang out with, you know, go get some milkshakes with big daddy. Great. I don't want to be called fat, a big daddy. It sounds like a guy you want to go hang out with, you know, go get some milkshakes with big daddy. Yeah. Fat daddy sounds like a discount firework you find on the side of the road, you know, rural Missouri. Hey, you want to give her the fat daddy's deal on fat daddy. Come on. We've got three for five here. And so I just, just let you know, big is good fat no thank you all right are there other well let me ask you some other like words maybe that like could be iffy like oh maybe this is good maybe

this is not like okay tubbo is that something is that no i don't want tubbo does not fall in the category of acceptable no okay what about something like uh one of shrek's cousins no i don't like that one no that one doesn't okay what about any ogre theme don't do any ogre theme thing no ogre theme no okay okay what about like the target demographic for every weight loss commercial no just because i'm too long not because it hurts my feelings. Just wordy. Yeah. It just doesn't go up. It doesn't flow up the tongue like Big Daddy. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Um, okay. This one's shorter. Yeah. Jabba the Hutt. No. No? Okay.

Okay. What about, um, like rejected cast member of my 600 pound life? Uh, uh, oh, ooh, I, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in white. 600-pound lie. Hey, we all have those things. We do. I feel like, well, as long as we're on Gene Schwartz comments, there's one girl who just will not stop calling me cutie redhead. Cutie redhead. That makes me feel weird in a different way. Clarifies that Jake is a redhead, though, according to Barbie.

Once and for all. Take that, Conor Lamb. That's right. See, Lamb? That's okay. But anyway, hey, it's a new week. It's a new week, is a redhead, though, according to Barbie. Once and for all. Take that, Conor Lamb. That's right. See, Lamb? That's OK. But anyway, hey, it's a new week. It's a new week, cutie redhead. Happy.

Thanks for choosing to listen to our podcast. Yes, it's it's exciting times. If you're listening to this, then I successfully made it into Hawaii, even though they make it as hard as humanly possible to go to another U.S S state. It's amazing. Like how much Hawaii feels like a foreign international place. Yeah. Every time I go to Hawaii, I'm like, I got to find my passport. I'm like, wait, no, no. I got to like notify my, you know, uh, my mobile provider. Yeah. Tell my credit card company I will be spending money internationally. Let boost mobile. No. Right. Oh man. Yeah. But it's just America. So yeah. Hopefully as you're listening to this, I'm in Hawaii. Hopefully as you're listening to this,

I'm 30 years old now. Yes, dude. Happy birthday. Actually, I think no matter what, when you're listening to this, Justin, no, Justin, our editor, he might be listening to this when I'm not 30. Yeah. So Justin, how quick do you work? Yeah. Happy birthday, man. How was it? Thanks, man. Oh, how's it feel to be 30 oh it was how does it feel now yeah um it feels it feels fine how does it feel to think you're going to be 30 in five days four days i don't know what date it is that's okay yeah i think i don't think turning 30 will be that bad but the next year of my life when everyone asks how old i am and i have to say 30 that is going to suck that's gonna suck to suck. Just lie. Like we're not

30. There's just no possible way that we could be 30 years old. There's no way. When do you start feeling old? That's what I want to know. I think when you start like just doing like boring things, like when you're bored, like right now when I'm bored, I go like I'm active, I'm fun. I hang out with different groups of friends. But if I start like vacuuming when I'm bored, I'm old. Yeah. I feel like on paper, I'm very old. Like, like I play pickleball, which is not that active of a sport and I get done and I'm kind of sore. I, you know, wake up really early in the morning. I, I don't vacuum, but I'll clean every once in a while. Like I'll, I'll be around the house walking around, not know what to do. And I see some stuff that's needing to get picked up. I'll clean it up. But that sounds a little more normal for normal human behavior. Sure. Sure. But

psychologically I've, I don't feel one bit any older than I did when I was like in college. Yeah. And I don't know if when's, when's that going to happen? Yeah. It's not like I'm like, like, yeah, on paper. Like I, and I still feel like I'm like my, my parents, like little son, you know what I mean? Like, I can't stand up to my dad. I'm 30 years old. I should be able to stand up to my dad. If I disagree with your parents, they'll get you like quite a few Christmas gifts. Yeah. Me too. Plenty. When does that stop? Never. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Unreal. Yeah. It's like, it's like, I should be like providing them with some really nice things instead of them. And I do give them a gift, but they give me way more gifts. Yeah. Yeah. I guess it's a circle of life. Is that what that song's about?

That's what it's about. I think so. Material things. Yeah. That's yeah. Pretty much. Yeah. Dude, I kind of have gone on a deep dive of trying to find new podcasts.

And one of them is a podcast all about the nineties. And I listened to one about the Lion King the other day. How was it? It was not that good, but it was informative. I didn't, I kept listening to this podcast and I finally was like, this is not good. You're like, I just, I think I don't like it. Yes, dude. I, and I'm not trying to be like our podcast is so great. Cause I understand that it's different for everybody, but like, man, is it hard to find a podcast that I enjoy out there? Like people recommend it a lot. And I struggled to find some good ones. Really? I just, and I need to give it

probably more of a chance. Maybe if you listen to our podcast for five minutes, you're not going to like it. But like some of these ones, I was like, I'm done. I don't like this at all. I'm not I'm not going to keep listening to this. It's not funny. I'm right there with you to the point that I don't even really try out new podcasts anymore. And it's hard to find ones like like I tried to like just browse the other day. And it's not easy to like just look around.

I don't know. I'm trying to think of a good platform. You don't think it's easy to find podcasts? Well, it's easy to find podcasts. It's not easy to find like, like, like it's not easy to find a nineties podcast that looks somewhat well done. I see what you're saying. Like I'm like, cause, cause actually what happened was a ghost runner fan. Thank you for recommend your recommendation. Send me something about the nineties, but I forgot what the actual name was. So I was just like, Oh, let's look up nineties podcast. That's not a very easy way to look them up. Like, yeah. And I tried to even just Google it. Like maybe it was an article somewhere.

Like YouTube is really missing out on an opportunity to like have an entire part of your website dedicated to podcasts. There's nothing about that. Like YouTube is the, like the second biggest search engine in the world. Like Google. And it's, isn't it owned by Google? Yeah. Yeah. So like, it seems like it has the parameters. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Anyway, anyway, how was your week? A week's been good, man. Week's been, uh,

just spent a lot with family, which I love. I love that. Um, you love your family. I do. I do love my family. Actually,

I will say, I will say I had, you know how last week you were like, do you ever like just have those moments where like, maybe you kind of regret having kids? You're like, no, I have to, I have to right two right now um and they're little ones

they're mostly joking but the other night i think yeah it was like thunderstorming out and hattie has just recently become really afraid of lightning and and she never like thunder i don't think so i think i mean obviously they're one in the same yeah but i think she's more scared of like the flashes and stuff okay um because she sleeps through the thunder just fine. But if she wakes up and she sees that lightning, like it was, it was past like the big part of the storm and she came into our room, but it was still like flashing. It has been storming a lot here. Yes. I got some stuff to say about that. Okay. Um, we'll, we'll get to it. And so she never does this, but she came into our room and like slept in our bed and halfway through the night I thought

to myself, well, first of all, I thought it was so sweet, like feeling her next to me, like kind this but she came into our room and like slept in our bed and halfway through the night i thought to myself well first of all i thought it was so sweet like feeling her next to me like kind of cuddle up next to me best feeling in the world like somebody falling asleep next to you is i don't care if it's your daughter your son your grandma best feeling in the world but my gosh i she went from up and down to like seriously horizontal uh she moved the Tetris and she, you know, like that, like back in like eighth grade when people would come up behind you and like

stab your sides. Packer. Yes. She Packard me all night with her feet. Oh yeah. You got to flip that thing around. Yes. And,

and I like, I did, I like forcibly moved her and she would just go back there and it's like, she's asleep. So I can't, I don't want to wake her up. Yeah. But I thought to myself, I don't like that. you're here right now. Why did I have kids? Why

did I have you? Um, and then also there's a small one, but Bo is really obsessed with my wallet lately. So anytime I leave it out, he like takes all the cards out. And the other day I was about to pay for something at home Depot and I didn't have any form of payment because my son had taken out my credit cards and somebody didn't put them back and i don't know if it was me or my wife but i think i do know that is my wife but anyway yesterday at chili's to go i was behind a woman inside because they've done a they stopped coming to the cars like they used to just in general you guys know they came to the cars before covet yeah that was a thing great curbside to go yeah they've stopped they don't do a very good job of that now. They ask for your car, but they don't care.

You have to go inside. Anyway, all I'm trying to say is about not paying. A woman is in front of me in line. She's ready to pay. She's like, how much is it? He's like, you know, $11.95. She goes, okay. And then goes out to her car.

And then goes and gets exactly $11.95 from her car. Yeah. And then I go up to pay. He's like, ah, we're actually in the middle of her transaction. She just came up just to get a quote on the food. A quote. And then went back to her car yeah and then i like go up to pay he's like ah we're actually in the middle of her transaction like she just came up just to like get a quote on the food and then went back to her car uh you're like can you just cancel that one real quick yeah like how hard is it to like re-get into the transaction credit card to be really fast oh man you had to wait behind this woman to like go to her car and count out 11.95 and change and then come back awesome that's too bad yeah it was

luckily you weren't probably in a hurry i'm sure but i wasn't in a hurry but it was at the tail end of like a six-hour drive so i'm like i'm just ready to be home i'm ready to eat right yeah dude that's yeah the last like 15 minutes of a drive like that are the longest 15 sometimes the sleepiest yes which is tricky but yeah um katherine i don't remember how we got on this subject the other day but we were talking about like let's not maybe not chili specifically applebee's specifically like did you grow up going to Applebee's? We went to Cheddar's quite a bit. Okay. Which is the same great example. Great example. Yeah. Very like just bar and grill type place. American. I grew up going to Applebee's a lot with my family and I had great opinions of

Applebee's and I do not have great opinions of them anymore. Do you feel that way towards Cheddar's? Like, like, I don't know. I don't know if it's me being a little bit more of like a high maintenance person i don't think it is i think it's more like the quality of applebee's and like a lot of these places that we grew up really enjoying are going downhill i don't know about chili's because i haven't been there in a while i know that you love it so the chicken cajun pasta no tomatoes that's why i used to always get when i went there good it's or i've got with tomatoes like when i was nine i got that my sister used to work at chili so we went there all the time but lucky um yeah anyway i i don't know i don't know if anybody has any comments on that let me know it's just one of those things where it's like am i just

becoming snobbier in my old age as like i make more money and i can afford other things but i don't think i am because i still go chipotle and chick-fil-a all the time it's great it's i don't know it's like applebee's Try to think of other like good ones that are just like, oh, those are kind of nasty now that used to think they were great. Applebee's. Cheddar's is another one that I would,

I don't think I would ever go to Cheddar's anymore. Really? I went there with my entire family probably like six months or so ago. It was nice. It was good? I don't remember. It's food, you know?

It's just like, yeah, it's nice. You don't have strong opinions on it. Yeah. My grandma gave me a $20 bill. It was awesome. And you paid an exact change from that $20. Anyway, what were you saying? I just had to talk about the food thing.

Oh, just my kids. My kids are just crazy. Yeah. They're just tough. I loved the Patreon video. The ice cream. I was cracking up out loud to myself watching it. It was so funny.

I don't, I don't, I listened back to it today and I don't think I even told the story. I just don't remember all the details of it cause it was happening so fast and it was just crazy. I don't remember exactly, but it was just, it was just madness. And somebody even, cause I had, I had posted on Patreon, like the before video of like, Hey, uh, you know, I'm, I'm in the drive through with my kids. And somebody on that video before the podcast came out about the whole story said, Oh, I'm really surprised drive-thru with my kids. And somebody on that video before the podcast came out about the whole story said, Oh, I'm really surprised that you're letting them eat ice cream like that in the truck.

That person is a prophet and you need to, you need to do something like that for your work. Um, just maybe a guidance counselor or something. But, um, yeah, overall it's been a good week.

Uh, my parents were awesome and took the kids on Saturday. So Catherine, I could just hang out and we were going to do like house projects and old people stuff. Like one of the things that Catherine's like, maybe we could organize the hall closet. Maybe. And she was, she was like serious about like, that'd be good. That's something we could do. That's something I've never done. Yeah. Right. We have like our hall closet. It's called the sports closet. Right. You store your sporting goods in there. Anything in there. It's great. Yeah. I got like one of

everything. So we were going to organize that and i was like why do i need to be here for this she's going to ask my opinion and i'm going to give it to her and she's just going to be like no i think maybe the homeopathic stuff should go over here and the sinus infection i'm like great why do i care awesome and didn't end up doing any of that just hung out but it was awesome my parents were just so willing to just take our kids for a day and it was like we don't have to worry about them. So been watching hard knocks a lot lately. Um, it's on the Dallas Cowboys this year, which is always kind of interesting. Cause Jerry Jones is like, I don't know. Jerry Jones is an enigma of the world. I don't know him super well.

He's just, he's just like, I mean, he's the owner of the Cowboys, but he's also the GM of the Cowboys. That just, just tells you what kind of person he is. Like, it's like, I'm so good that I'm going to hire myself for this other job. You know, I found the best guy for the job. He's got all the financial, like motivation behind everything, but also like, is the guy running the ship anyway? Um, not, not a whole lot to say about that, except for just a reminder to myself that no matter if you're a high school coach, a college coach orfl coach coaches are just so ridiculous sometimes like uh the coaches just just talk in such a weird way and like a i don't even know how to describe it just like just they're just bad sometimes like sometimes some of the things they say are like so disrespectful

to people and like i'm not saying that all coaches are like that i know of great coaches out there, but we were talking about today doing jean shorts, you know, brainstorming stuff. And I'm just like coaches. They're just, they're just like, there's certain qualities about like a lot of coaches that are very successful. And it's like, how did you get so high up in this business by being like this? It was kind of fun to share coach stories today. Cause we all had similar ones.

We all had plenty of coach stories and yeah, it's just fascinating that you could ever get to a point about caring that much about like a middle school sport yes as a coach as like a crazy parent just like i just can't fathom it i know and and i kind of was was reflecting i was like i wonder if they cared as much as it seemed like they cared to me or if i was a middle schooler and i was just nervous and scared of them a little bit you know and so i viewed like that they were really into it when maybe they weren't as into it as I thought. But yeah, anyway,

we had some good stories and we're going to have a good video on that hopefully. But yeah. Shoot without me this week. I know. Good luck. Yeah. Maybe we'll have you,

you know, just fill a few things in Maui for us just, just to fill in coaches in Maui, coach Maui be like, we always, this is something interesting about Trey that and maybe maybe you agree maybe you disagree uh he really likes knowing what the title exactly is going to be before we like brainstorm the whole video oh yeah yeah I like that yeah yeah I that to me that's just like that that could come later to me like that's like the end of the road for me and so

it's always funny he's like so what's the title what What's the title of this? And I'm like, I don't know. It's about coaches. Coaches be like, be like, just works for everything with that stuff. So, um, anyway. Yeah. When juggling Jay and I were doing our thing, we got into that rhythm of like having the title and thumbnail in mind before you turn the camera on. Okay. Like that is, you're really trying to tube it properly that's probably how you should do it that's the thing like any anytime i have any doubts or anything i am very uh slow to voice them because i'm like jake and trey have done this for a long time and they know what they're doing so why do i why do i need to say anything but um yeah man nothing too

crazy going on in my life awana's back so. So that's fun. You remember Awana? Yeah. You remember Awana. It's that movie with The Rock and they're in Hawaii. No, I'm just kidding. So yeah. I was like Juwana? Juwana? Juwanji? On Saturday when my parents were gone, I was like, we should go to a movie. That'd be really fun.

Dude, there's no movies that I want to watch. What about The Conjuring the Devil made me do it me do it exactly dude there's so many horror movies out there right now which is we're in a pandemic that's what i know it's really like disturbing like so many of the things were horror movies and then i think there was one comedy maybe two there's the jungle cruise have you heard about this no it's a disney movie with the rock and emily blunt okay and i was like that one looks kind of good and then all of a sudden all these weird creatures came out and i was like never mind i don't want to watch that but there's just nothing nothing that i wanted like literally i was like i'm like

trying to force myself to find a movie to watch and there's nothing out there i'm sorry man it's sad dude i want to go i have that experience in the movie theater and i just can't do it so i know what i'm gonna get you for your birthday. A movie theater. Something. Maybe. Maybe something unrelated that I just thought of just now. You never know. Maybe. Yeah.

I don't know. Chris, $20 bill to Cheddar's. Could be. Gift card, maybe. Okay. Well, yeah. What's everything going on in your life? What's everything going on?

Everything. Dude, a lot. I got so much to talk about this week. I feel like a lot has happened i feel like i uh yeah i'm leaving from maui it's 8 15 p.m right now i leave from maui at 5 45 a.m tomorrow your flight leaves at 5 45 my flight leaves at 5 45 uh scott sell so generously is taking us to the airport mvp at 4 15 a.m what yeah are you serious isaac let me see if i can find the text isaac texted him today isaac i've been so like we've just been procrastinating like crazy and so behind on

stuff isaac texted him and said uh um scott you enjoy getting up at 4 30 a.m to take your friends to the airport right you text him today yeah because we can make that happen for you tomorrow and then scott just texted back, full service, locked and loaded. He was just in. He's like, what? Full service. He loves that. It's like his brand.

Full service, baby. Oh, it's amazing. And then Isaac's thinking, like, Scott will have to wake up at 430. And I'm like, well, why don't we, we should probably get to the airport a little earlier. We're checking bags. We're going to Hawaii. The only time the airport's ever busy here is early in the morning. It's crazy. Like, you always think, like, oh, there's going to ever busy here is early in the morning it's crazy like you always think like oh there's gonna be nobody here maybe it's

because understaffed i guess i don't know i don't know like long lines when i've gone really early yeah and i think isaac was like let's just show up like right before and just check our we'll just check our bags ourselves or something why don't we get there a little earlier but anyway so there's been a lot happening with all that trying to get prepped for it i think i was telling you off the pot earlier. This is the most unprepared I've ever been for a vacation in my life. But oh, really? No, I didn't hear that.

OK, yeah. But I got a three and a half hour layover tomorrow. So I'll figure out things in Maui then. Oh, yeah. And you've been so I know I can rely on you. Yeah, yeah. So I have nothing prepped other than a rental car from Esteban. But yeah, the only thing you really need to make sure you do is road to Hana.

Everything else is like Hawaii. It's awesome. Yeah. Just drive drive around anywhere you'll find something okay cool yeah i'm excited i um there was a period in this past week where in a 14 hour span i saw i experienced three things i've never seen before in a row you ready for this yeah they get better and better as it goes okay first one about you know midnight midnight or so, whatever. Just late at night. I'm taking a shower. Power goes out. During the shower.

During shower. You ever had that happen? No, but I feel like that's like growing up. Did your parents say like, hey, it's, it's, was it thunderstorming? Yeah. Did your parents used to say like, hey, it's thunderstorming. Do not. Yeah.

Yeah. My mom was also like, I don't know. My mom wouldn't let me stay next to the windows during a thunderstorm just in case those windows get you and i remember being kind of young or like maybe in like you know elementary middle school or something and i was like how come and then she was like i don't know actually my mom just always told me not to and i was like i guess those metal windows it could just come in and strike me in the living room i guess i don't know but uh yeah the first time it happened, like the lights flickered and I jumped out of the water

because I thought I was going to get electrocuted. Sure. And then I came back on and I was fine. I was like, well, I guess that was the test. I made it through this. And then it went off again while you were. And it went off again. And this was early on the shower.

I had not scrubbed yet. Oh, so you still scrub? It put me to the test. Like, how well do I know the shower? Do I know my soap? Yeah, right. Do I know my body? Yeah.

Turns out decently well. my soap? Yeah. Right. Do I know my body? Yeah. It turns out decently well. 10 out of 10. Whoa. That reminds me of camp. Like, did you shower after all the kids would go to bed? Yeah. With the headlamp. Headlamp. Yeah. You showered the headlamp. It was so peaceful. It was so great. I forgot about that. I didn't even like cross my mind that I'd done that before. Yeah. I forgot. Often. I don't know how yours were set up, but we had three shower heads and there were like these, uh, you know, curtains in between. Yes. Put back both the curtains and all shower head. I would, I would go for the trifecta, all shower heads. I never thought about that. And I said that red light of the, cause you could turn on either like red or yellow or white. Yeah. I didn't go to the

middle shower. Cause that was the one that Jack waffle stomped in. So, you know, know, I couldn't go the trifecta shower heads. He didn't wipe. He didn't make you wipe. He just waffle stomped in there. Anyway, so I got to shower in pitch darkness for a while. That was kind of fun. And then maybe should we start doing it? Like maybe because here's my thing with showers is they somehow simultaneously in my mind, like mentally, they wake me up in the morning, but they also like call me down at night. So one of those things is, Oh, you're like a CBD salesman. Maybe so. Yeah. Do you need me more everything? Like, trust me, it'll help you fall asleep unless you need to study and they'll make you more alert. Does that not make sense to you?

Like, do you ever like take a shower late at night and like, you're just, Oh, I feel ready for bed. Is that like, you know what I mean? I probably had the best person to ask. Cause I am ready for bed whenever, you know, if you give me a horizontal it's bedtime okay but no i typically take a shower to wake up yeah to be honest so and so yeah i just feel like both those things are true and i don't think but maybe if i'm showering in the dark it would help even better really get you ready yeah it seems like one of those like cryogenic tanks exactly like that it's exactly like that i'm pretty sure it's the exact same thing that's all a cryogenic thing is i think it's just darkness really yeah

it's not there's nothing in there just yeah just darkness anyways that happens late at night the next morning oh sorry we should you know how we're gonna do jake and brad try someday yeah we need to do jake and brad try cryogenics jake and brad cry jake and brad cry oh genic yeah that'd be fun i'm down to do a lot of that stuff have you ever ever seen that thing where they, like, they just, there's a name for it, but they just freeze you. Like you're standing in that thing. Is that not what that is? Oh, I was thinking of the thing where you're like, uh, submerged in like water.

I want to do that instead. Yeah. What is that thing? That's what I'm thinking of. I don't know. Connor Lamb did it though. So Connor, if you still listen, let us know. There's a few things that we don't know the name of, but there was one where you're standing

upright and you're frozen. And I'm like, how is this safe? Like, how is this helpful? That is this helpful that's the thing that it uh yeah antonio brown like okay like he like they burned himself or like whatever that's right messed up stuff with his foot so i think you can if you're in there too long really mess yourself up okay so it's not that safe and then there's the other thing that i've heard like professional athletes also do become like weightless yeah like a zero gravity yes water chamber that's what i want to do yeah i want to like lucid dream in there.

Yes, dude. That's what I had. OK, OK, let's do that. Sweet. Jake and Brad cry. But we do in the same room. That's the same chamber. That's non-negotiable for me.

Like there's one slot in the chamber for us to reach out our arms and we hold hands as we slowly drift away into the upside down. Yep, that's what we're going to do. OK, next morning I go get coffee downtown Kansas City and I'm driving out to Oklahoma City for a wedding. So driving out of downtown,

not in necessarily like a rough area. There's actually my crown center. OK, so not too bad. Could be worse for downtown. Yeah, there's kind of a little park area. I'm driving up on the side on the street

and on the sidewalk to my right as I'm approaching this man. I think that is a that is a bare bottom. That is an exposedy no and i i can't take my eyes off of it obviously of course as i get closer cracks in the sidewalk this is a man yeah taxpayer dollars come on cracks this man is bending over okay diarrhea no no no no no out of his butt in like at 9 30 a.m oh 9 30 a.m broad daylight and i saw it peeing out of his butt on the sidewalk oh gosh that is i don't even know what to say to that did you keep looking at that point or did you look away i kind of looked away yeah i was like oh okay okay i've seen i've seen what i need to see i know what i know how it works i need to confirm that but this is the part that it's kind of funny so it you know seeing that just

got me in some kind of mood yeah so i went to subway i went straight from there to subway and i'm coffee in your footlong yeah i go to subway to i don't want to stop on this road trip so i'm like i'll get a big old footlong now and i'll be good you're fat daddy yeah something about the crack on the sidewalk just got me in the mood so i'm in the subway drive-thru the one by my old house i'm like oh i know that there's subway drive-thru around house okay by that like yeah whatever like midtown area yeah yeah and while i'm in the drive-thru ordering they have like a dumpster out back and while i'm ordering a man who i'm just gonna go ahead and just safely assume who was also homeless a man pops out at the dumpster holding like an unopened Cheetos bag and an unopened Sprite, just like he's getting his breakfast and just walks away.

Really? I was like, whoa. Huh. What do you do at that point? I think he's got the system down. I think he must know. He knows the timing. When Subway throws away like their expired stuff.

Maybe. And he went in there and just got him a Cheetos and a sprite unopened this was kind of in the morning or is this what time yeah morning yeah maybe like the first thing subway does is like hey all our expired stuff we throw it out you know right when we get there because subway probably doesn't open till i don't know what time i don't know 10 30 11 they get there at nine o'clock to start baking the bread or whatever they throw everything everything out. This guy knows. It was spectacular. I mean, those two things happen within three minutes of each other.

So I was like, this is what a great Saturday. This is amazing. Start to my Saturday. He just popped out. He's like a little like gremlin or something. Just pops up with a sprite. Yeah. You miss those urban times. You know, all those stories.

I'm in the suburbs now. Yeah, this doesn't happen anymore. Right. Oh, man, dude. Yeah, there's a there's a homeless guy that frequents the panera that i go to and he he's got like i feel bad for him for multiple reasons obviously but like actually i don't even know if he's homeless he's just very messed up like something about him he's like very like he just talks to himself whatever that is i don't know schizophrenia or something but it's crazy and it's very intimidating and i always think

like what if this guy just punches me someday? Like, what would I do? Because I would feel bad for this guy, but I'd also have to defend myself. Like, I think about that every single time I walked past this guy who seems very, like, he's got multiple personalities, like talking to himself, having a conversation with himself. I'm like, what if he just, what if he just gets mad at me for butting into his conversation? I don't know. I think about it. And I'm like, what if I have gets mad at me for butting into his conversation i don't know i think about it and i'm like what if i have my green tea in my hand you know and he pops the green tea out of my hand yeah i'll be frustrated about that like i just don't want to do about it i would hold up in court i think if you explain the green tea issue i was yeah i was defending myself in my

green tea so well i hope that never happens to you i don't think it will i i try to kind of avoid avoid it as much as i can but anyway when i think about getting into a fight i think about how it can't like punching with my off hand just feels so unnatural i i like i always think about like i hope it never comes to that i don't think it would hurt very bad if i punch him with my left hand right yeah yeah that's i hope i can knock him out in one is what i'm saying saying. I can't believe, here's a spoiler from the Patreon. Your dad had been in, how many, did he say 100? He's like maybe 100. 100 fist fights.

Yeah. I don't, neither of us have been in anything close to one. Not yet. And I can't imagine, yeah, like how it would feel. I don't want to ever know, honestly. Like I just don't want to ever know what it feels like to punch somebody. Oh, I would love to know. Really?

Yeah. To win a fight? Really? There's something inside of me as a man that wants that wants that okay but what if then you lose the fight it would not feel as good as a man to lose the fight but if you lose the fight then would you have to like kind of seek vengeance on somebody else now i gotta pick a fight just like in your life rolodex you can't be a loser on the record so you have to have at least two wins two and one yeah i need to start going to more panera right i'll figure it out would you would you kind of instigate at that point like okay kind of bump like my green tea and oh hey you sloshing my tea buddy huh you trying to throw teas throw hands just walk into very like

diverse areas and just say things that almost sound like racial slurs there's a guy yeah and just see what happens like whoa whoa whoa I said hang banners earlier you said no ogre and I said no-ger and I was worried about it so I'll point it out now just to let you guys know that was what I was saying was no ogre so don't listen to this podcast

too loud or too fast of a speed and it could sound worse just letting you guys know that's what that was I like combining two words together a know that's what that was. I like I like combining two words together a lot. That's what I was doing. Yeah, that's what you promise. And it was it was completely innocent.

I didn't catch that. Yeah, I did immediately. Was like, just say some other fat thing. OK, real quick. Hurry, hurry, hurry. Oh, that's funny. But that reminds me of something. But I don't think we need to keep talking about things that are almost racial slurs third thing that you did third thing that you saw what was it oh that was the third thing it went oh right no power shower

okay diarrhea dumpster jump dump jump dump jump dump jump with the sprite and cheetos okay well tell me about the wedding i want to hear all about it it. Was it awesome? It was a great wedding. It was really fun. This was Grant's wedding. Grant Hudeberg. Remind us who Grant is. Grant, you know, put a watch on this girl like a year ago at a wedding. Yeah.

And said, I'll come pick it up in Tennessee. And he did. And now he's bagged his dough. And yeah, he's the man. It was great to see him. Great to see him. Married the love of his life. And really fun wedding they had. I didn't know this. I was sitting on the bottom floor's the man. It was great to see him. Great to see him. Marry the love of his life and really fun wedding they had.

I didn't know this. I was sitting on the bottom floor of the church. But when they said for the first time, it was a couple of Mr. Mrs. Huber. There were confetti cannons from the balconies. Very alarming for a split second, but so sick. Oh, like just so much confetti falling down as this music is playing as they're walking out.

It was awesome. You had mentioned confetti cans on the Patreon, but i thought you meant like as they enter in the reception you're talking about from the church in the church that's crazy it was sweet yeah that sounds awesome and that actually reminds me to freak you out a little bit when you first heard it yeah yeah i mean it does for the first time in my head i'm thinking what song are they gonna go with what song are they gonna be you just hear that like holy cow that's really cool but they actually didn't do i liked uh grant's wife lovely woman and i think listens to the pod still yeah so when you're back from our honeymoon hey congrats catlinburg they go to g bird they wish okay i

thought there was a chance we'd end up in maui at the same time but they're going some other you know cool island yeah but they i like the way they did their wedding like they didn't do they had 17 groomsmen and like 12 bridesmaids okay which is awesome they just have a ton of friends like why not i do respect though like hey these are my friends this is how many friends who cares because i i well no i had i had the right guys but like i think i had a number of guys that katherine wanted those many girls for and i i think if grant had five more friends that he really wanted to put in there that's awesome. I liked it just a little more free flowing. Right. 17 is amazingly. It looks awesome in a pretty small church. But when we got to the reception, there was no like introductions of them. There was no assigned seats,

but it wasn't like unorganized. There's just like this huge ballroom. Okay. And everyone just got to socialize. It was, there was just a buffet line just go whenever you want and that was so nice it was just like yeah i'm here to like i talked to so many people it was so fun getting to catch up uh there's several things like that okay sorry i just as adults i don't think we need to be told like when we can go eat yeah exactly like like i guess maybe like specifically if you need like the bride and groom to eat like get them their plate first or whatever yeah but beyond that like we're adults we can be patient we can set our table if we want to we can go up there if we want to yeah like i was enjoying conversation and kind of monitoring the line like oh it's busy right now i'll keep talking to this guy this is great oh it's dying

down hey you want to go get in line yeah right that's awesome yeah i love it so many parts of the wedding were great okay it's really fun uh i had a guy come up to me on the dance floor and uh he goes jake i'm like what's up dude and i'm wearing these like glasses that also light up sunglasses that light up in an already dark space i'm blind you know i can't see a thing i'm just like what's up dude i just dab him up have no idea who he is so i'm too good to see you and then i realized i should probably take my glass off see what it is is. I'm like, oh crap, I don't recognize this guy. He goes, dude, I'm like, I'm a subscriber. I'm a subscriber. And I was like, oh, right on.

He's like, I was like, to what? He's like the, like the three of you guys, all three of you. The trio. And I was like, oh. You trained the fat guy. We call him Tubbo, but. Almost. Yeah.

Well, in my head, because ty gatewood was also there and i've been talking about i was just thinking like and this guy's from oklahoma ty's from oklahoma whatever i was like oh yeah and we bought a limo like that's so cool that you watch like ty's actually here i don't do you know ty that's funny that's your assumption like well he said the three of you i was like that was just like that was a trio yeah and anyway he's like no um i subscribe to uh oh my gosh um i like i watch every video um and i wish i i go jean shorts jean shorts yes yeah i'm a huge fan of jean shorts that's awesome and i was like thank you man yeah he couldn't couldn't take it i guess that's awesome no but it's very nice so reese

reese shout out reese oh reese uh yeah i know reese oh actually it's his cousin right he's a subscriber green's cousin i don't know oklahoma city yeah i know reese he was a he was a k country Shout out Reese. Oh, Reese. Yeah, I know Reese. Oh, actually? It's his cousin, right? He's a subscriber. Grant's cousin? I don't know. Oklahoma City. Yeah, I know Reese. He was a K-Country kid back in the day. No way.

That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, he's a cool kid. Oh, he's probably, whatever, 20 years old now. Yeah, I think he's a senior in high school, he said. Okay, yeah. That's awesome. That's awesome. There were several people who said they'd been watching Gene Short's stuff, which was cool.

Yeah. Yeah, it was so fun. Oh, this is kind of cool. I to share this is not funny but it's just i don't know i think it's cool people liked uh that one time when i feel like people just like whatever we're like encouraging or just like normal dudes but people don't see it as like normal dude stuff but real quick here's a text i got from ty gatewood this morning he uh well let me preface it with some context he, ever since the limo trip, he started this business and it's like booming. He has an entire warehouse that he owns, which is book business. Yeah. He does like use books and it was fun. I'd never really been

in just like an old fashioned warehouse. I loved it though. It's like a freight elevator. Everything's made out of concrete or brick. Like I don't, I don't have a true reason to have one. I mean, obviously like my business lends itself better than most. I want one. But I want one so bad. I couldn't stop saying that. I was like, this is so cool. Like I want to have a reason to be in a warehouse. Yes, dude. It was so sweet.

Absolutely. He has a neighbor next to him whose name, his name is Michael Jackson. He's like clinically insane. They're pretty sure. Okay. The government, he used to have a scuba business there. So it's a, it's a storefront. You know, nothing like Oklahoma scuba. there. So it's a storefront. Nothing like Oklahoma scuba.

Yeah, I'm sure it was booming. And I guess the city was like, hey, we want to put a billboard on your property. We'll pay you to. And he's like, great. And so now he just takes the money from the city, closed down a scuba shop, lives in the scuba shop, and in his free time calls the cops on the book business about once a week. Oh, he likes Ty's business.

He hates Ty. Why? Because like, well, no, I mean, he's. Yeah, he's just. It just doesn't make any sense. cops on the book business about once a week oh he likes he hates ty why because like well no i mean he's yeah he's just it just doesn't make any sense okay it's not like rational yeah um so this guy makes enough money off this billboard to i guess to not work anymore he closed down scuba shop wow um but anyway ty texted me this morning 6 45 a.m i'm really glad i got to spend time with you this weekend i really enjoy seeing you live life on your own terms, and I'm reflecting on how that has impacted me. There wouldn't be a book business without the limo trip, and there certainly wouldn't have been a limo trip without Jake

Triplett. You're an all time friend, and I hope one day we can collaborate on more stuff. In the meantime, I will be subscribing to Gene Schwartz Comedy and seeing you guys when you come to Oklahoma City on tour. Dude, he's the man. Isn't that so great? He's so nice. I got to spend 80 days straight with that guy. Yeah, just so just loving and encouraging. tour dude he's the man isn't that so great he's so nice i gotta spend 80 days straight with that guy yeah just so just loving and encouraging and yeah just the man so like the first time i ever met ty i remember i don't know what we were doing but i just remember like falling asleep late at night at your house we went to like hy-vee across the street and got a huge thing of ice cream and like all just like shared ice cream out of this big carton and then we fell asleep on the couch like this is kind of weird but like he was kind of like laying on me a little

bit yeah like howdy yeah yeah exactly it was a great feeling and then i woke up it was like four o'clock in the morning i was like i need to go back to my house because i live next door to you and he woke up and i was like dude i gotta go and he's like all right man and we like hugged like we met like like eight hours before that we hugged and i left but it was like the like most like like hey man like i care about you huh you know what i mean like he's just a nice like caring dude so yeah that's awesome good times at the weddings got to see so many old friends a lot of people ask me about you there's so many k country people there really um yeah jack warren's sister okay was asking about you she's like i think my brother is like

You ever do like a read? Well, I guess you don't because you haven't had a wedding yet, but like a redraft. I think about that. You know, they do like redrafts. Like if, you know, if we redid the 2003 draft for the NBA was today, you know, like who would you have drafted first or whatever? I think about that with my groomsmen. Like if the Hanson Ellis wedding was today,

like Jake would be in my wedding this time, you know, whereas before, obviously not, but not really. Um, I saw on Patreon, you had posted that thing about the wedding and like kind of reflections and was like,

I think you asked like, what would you do differently? Or maybe something like that. If you could do your wedding over, what would you do? Or if you haven't had a wedding, what would you do? Okay. Yeah.'t had a wedding, what would you do? Okay.

Yeah. So I wrote down a few things about this. Okay. Um, so first thing is just make sure the food is good. Doesn't matter. Don't, don't pay that much for good food.

Just make sure it's good. Make sure it is good. So like the thing that everyone remembers about my wedding is that we had honey butter chicken biscuits from Whataburger and they were like, you know, $2 a piece or something fire. And so many people pay for these really nice catering companies to come in and the chicken's dry and the salad doesn't get eaten and blah, blah, blah.

Just make sure you have good mashed potatoes. Seriously. Everyone loves good mashed potatoes. Like who wouldn't want that? Yeah. And so, and like, and so somebody recommended to us when we were planning everything, like, what are some foods that are important or like special to you? So we had HBCVs, we had Dr. Pepper, you know, whatever. Like, it was just great. Yeah. I was like, this is great. Like, um, that's first thing

I wish we had a live band. I know you said there was a live band at, and, but kind of live band, right? The guy who lip sunk lip sunk. They have past it. Yeah. Yeah. He was like getting frustrated at the like lead female singer to like visibly on stage yeah it's like all right i'm just gonna turn around and pretend i'm just not watch them and just dance really on my own yeah i i had not been to a live band wedding until like starting to go with katherine because like in texas they're a lot more popular yeah because they're expensive yeah and they're amazing it's electric it is like songs that i would never want to dance to normally they can make them dancey yeah it doesn't matter oh Oh, it's so fun. Yeah. And I've had the thought of like,

it'd be pretty fun to be in a wedding band. And I think to myself, that'd actually be a grind, be a huge grind. I think it'd be fun, though. Yeah, the talent. I don't know. That'd be fun.

It'd just be a party every single time you're up there. You don't have to make your own stuff. Just cover other people's music. Exactly. Yeah. Sing it well. No, you shouldn't make your own stuff.

Yeah. Real quick on dancing. Sorry. I mean, Grant is just such a fun guy. He has so many fun friends i spent most of the time in the dance floor just simply observing it was crazy some of the things i saw like not like an inappropriate way to do anything crazy oh my gosh this dude i mean the one wedding i've been to a tie real quick was zach warehouse wedding and i probably left like

we had to drive back from wichita so it was like a three-hour drive so i probably left 30 minutes into the dance party and ty had already like taken off his shirt and like tied his tie around his head like taking off his shirt completely like not like a little bit yeah so go ahead oh he's always up to something i mean one time at preston ramsay's wedding k west sky bars i think i've told this around the podcast ty was like i'm gonna go do the wet guy challenge that's right what is that which wasn't pressing ramsay's way like super nice oh yeah yeah yeah he's from like the yeah coppel texas right you know so um anyway tonight i mean yeah you called it instantly on the dance floor i haven't as soon as i get to the dance floor ty already has so one of the dance

floor props was like those foam like cylinders that are like white but they light up they like make like red blue and green like light up things they're really fun yeah spirit sticks spirit sticks yeah ty had like five of those stuck down the back of his shirt and he was like walking around like a hunchback like this and then probably five minutes later i look back and he's trying to see how many he could cram in his mouth and he's got like five spirit sticks out of his mouth and he's just going around like like essentially kissing people with the spirit sticks on the dance floor so yeah he was electric there's other guy where i was like this dude i can't take my eyes off of him like the moves he's doing like i think he's good at dancing right it's also like he's having some sort of like yeah schizophrenic attack or something and

he's he's fighting he hangs out at the panera parking lot sometimes too it was something to see why you end up just well we danced together okay and we became friends that way and then he introduced himself to me he's like hey by the way you're jake right and i was like oh and then i feel bad because i don't know him right he's like grant's told me like a ton about you and told me like we would make like we need to be like making some content together or whatever i was like oh that's really nice and in my head i'm thinking like grant has never talked to me about you so that's a bummer but but you seem amazing you know i didn't say any of that but i get i'm talking i was like what do you do where you live and he said he works for the atlanta hawks and uh wait he works at k

country do this guy phil dang it that was gonna be cool um but he said he works for the atlanta hawks and guest services and i was like what does that mean exactly he's like usually when we have like special guests i just make sure they have a good time. Okay. Also part of my job is they always put me on the dance cam every game. I'm like, that makes sense. That's awesome. I could tell there was something

about the way you were moving where I was like, it's just, it's something else. It's something out of this world. I will post some videos on Patreon this week because I had to take some. Dude, I liked that job. Oh my gosh, it was awesome. Yeah.

You get to like basically like wine and dine like the most fun people. And then like 15 minutes of every night, you'd be like, I got to go guys real quick. And then just go dance your heart out. That's amazing. I was like, this is unreal. And it totally makes sense. And one of the guys that I competed against in the, that game show next trick shot superstar, his, I can't really tell. I think one of his part-time jobs as he's like an entertainer at Atlanta Hawks games he comes out and does like one-on-ones against fans like during timeouts and stuff like that it's like do you know Mosquito he's like I love Mosquito it's like cool you're

the only two people I know who work in the NBA industry and you're in the same arena so that's cool anyway Phil Phil I don't know I don't know Phil from K country he must have been past my time yeah he said he worked there for four summers but it must have been after you wow that's amazing anyway keep going. Sorry. No, that's great. Um, so yeah, good food, live band. I, we didn't get a videographer for our wedding, which I regret more flowers.

I was also thinking to myself, where hands wedding that I was at where Ty put his tie around his head, you were doing video stuff. Are you glad to not really be like in that funnel of life anymore where people view you as like a wedding videographer? Absolutely. Yeah. Cause I bet back in the day grant, i don't know maybe not grant but people like that you've gone to weddings too recently like they might have asked you to be that wedding videographer and you're like i'm glad i don't have to yeah say no to them anymore yeah it's nice nice but yeah we didn't have a videographer videography or like that that um you know budget item was just becoming a thing when we

got married. So it was like not as common, but yeah, I regret not having a little bit more footage of our wedding. Cause we also didn't have a very good photographer. So make sure you have a good photographer. Taylor, I guess a photo probably. No. Yeah. Taylor, I guess a photo would have done amazing. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like that's the one you should get. We should have gotten them. Yeah. Um, and then I just just put get the biggest venue possible it doesn't matter what it is like my sisters not even joking this makes us sound whatever poor whatever we're not poor but they got married at the american legion or not not married but the the yeah wedding reception like where the veterans play bingo yes and they just like they just decorated it super super nice and like beautiful and stuff but it was so much cheaper and so you

can invite so many more people that That's what it's all about. It's just like the more people, the more fun it is. You know what I mean? So get the biggest venue possible, invite as many people as you can. And this one's a little bit more serious, I guess,

but marry the love of your life. Yeah. Don't go to bed angry, Jake. I wish we did, would have done corporate worship for ours. Like just some, some worship songs together,

but Oh, I see. Like we didn't, we didn't we just we just did like how deep the father's love for us like while we like I don't even know pray it or something that's stupid corporate worship sounds like you're just singing songs to like your ceo tps reports balance the spreadsheet you are beautiful my sweet, sweet form. I'll be look up again. It's beautiful. Thanks.

So that's all I had for you. That's nice. And then I also wrote down, I did, I did make another list real quick. Top 10 wedding dance songs. You want to hear them? Ooh. I bet, I bet ours are different. Cause I know that you don't like some of my songs.

Okay. Give it to me. All right. And this is, this is ordered. This is a 10 to one in particular order. Okay. Number 10, call me maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen.

I love it. Let me preface. I do like the violins. The violins, that song is so catchy. Yeah, dude. Basically all these songs,

just jingle songs I've done in the past. Not that part though. Like in the chorus, like the, just that. Oh, I know what you're talking about. In the,

yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That is good. I just think any of of these songs you got to make sure that people know them and you got to make them poppy call me maybe it's pretty good it's a good song that's a pretty good it's a really fun song i'm thinking about it put it on yeah and like almost everyone knows it and they will yell it at the top of their lungs it's a good song yes it is yeah okay coming around i'll call you maybe all right number two turn down for what number nine number nine sorry number nine great song turned out for what fire me now another round of shot oh and then like the second time when it like breaks and it's like oh gets me going

i actually listened to other way over here when i was making this list um number eight lip gloss by little mama a little bit of a indie indie pick there but i put that my top three yeah really that's what that's a back pocket or people have left the dance floor use lip gloss to bring it back bring it back on um number seven maybe the best song on the list but i don't know why i put number seven is uh cupid's popular cupid shuffle oh my gosh get it out of here get it out of this list the 19 minute song you do the same dance moves over and over again. It's wonderful. It gets, talk about people back on the dance floor.

No, you got to earn it. That's like a cheap way of getting them back on the dance floor. I like American Legion, baby. We go there. Hey guys, get away from the bingo cards. We're going to do the Cupid shuffle. That's my one choreographed song on the list, but it's up there. Number six is Flow Ride.

I have, I have three different songs for Flow Ride on my list. Low, obviously. No, number six is Good Feeling. Okay i have three different songs for flow right on my list low um obviously no number six is good feeling okay i just love that song yeah it's actually pretty good yeah yeah it's really good the verse is like it's like like it got a good like 808 to it yeah i'm imagining all these songs i noticed have like a uh quarter note bass like yeah driving thing four on the floor yeah exactly very good um and then then really all these next three are flow right and next one is going down for real oh yeah it's going down for real that's a good one it's a dude flow right up makes bangers you don't hear that song as much as

the other ones i know and then number four would be low okay like anytime you hear that oh my gosh it's go time like that that's when you chug the water i gotta get out and be like i'm going out cath okay like cabin's like you know catching up with her k-life girl over the corner it's like i gotta go back out uh number three macklemore's can't hold us that one just gets me that that one maybe i don't know it just keeps going Number two, take me back to seventh grade school dances. Get low by Lil Jon Eastside Boys. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

And the number one undisputed champion, the Michael Jordan of the top wedding songs. Yes. By Usher. Yeah. Yes. Yes. You're saying yes instead of yeah. No, I'm saying yeah.

Yes, I'm saying yeah. i'm saying yeah oh okay got it no yeah yeah yeah that's a chance yes yeah yeah yeah uh something that was missing nothing this was the perfect list dang i just had it the yes yeah confusion sorry i'll give you my honorable mention was um we found love oh Rihanna love that song too that one that one gets going too how what parts they get going because it's like oh yeah yeah yeah and it's like pop music like yes it was great like Rihanna like right when she came out with that song I think is when Justin Bieber dropped that album that was like what do you mean and sorry and this is like the first time pop music had like EDM,

like courses. And I was like, this is awesome. Smokers were popping. Like I want more of this. Right. Yeah. It was just like fun.

Poppy music. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was great. Yeah. It was a good time. I definitely realized that most of my songs are from at least

five, 10 years ago. Yeah. So, but it's fine, but that's okay. I mean, I think,

yeah, I, you're not going to put on like what's popping by Jack Harlow at a wedding right now. Oh babe, I got to go out there. No, no one says that.

Like no one's like, okay. Yeah. It's true. Someday. Maybe. I don't think so, but I probably not for that.

So, yeah, that's awesome. That's a good list. Thanks. Thanks for listing that. Yeah, you're welcome.

Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Got a few things to follow up from last week, Brad what do you want do you want um face of marketplace you want tony you want uh we're gonna save tony we're gonna save him okay save him for a little bit later all right let's do the the face of marketplace so i left straight from here to go uh meet up with with jack from face of marketplace who you said was really cool seemed cool guy jack nice communicator uh he's like you know i arranged the quick trip we were meeting at let's meet here he says great i'll be a white toyota highlander i meet up there i'm a few minutes late he's been

there for like 20 minutes i'm trying to find him trying to find him doing one lap i don't see anything on the perimeter of the quick trip i'm like is this guy a sociopath did you johnson drive yeah wrong one yeah i was like I thought I was like man did he park in like a gas spot to meet up for what a weirdo yes dude I got to the point I googled Toyota Highlander I'm like maybe I just don't know what a white toy oh it's just like a Prius yeah no yeah I was like no okay that's what I was imagining that's what I was looking for and then I go back and look at the DM that I sent him and I went to the wrong address and I'm like hey man so yeah I told him where to go and I went to the wrong address and i'm like hey man so yeah i

told him where to go and i went to the wrong one did you go what did you send the one by my house yes yeah yeah yeah because i i do the opposite all the time i send that address to people and then they always go to the other one it's tricky two quick trips on the same parkway yeah so i always send them like the link which maybe that's what you did too like i send like a link to the google maps yeah yeah and even then it screws up like probably 25 percent of the time but i was eight minutes away it wasn't too bad no and um i finally get there it's a nice easy exchange people were not able to find the venmo because i think when you venmo a stranger you know someone you're not friends with it's private okay but um the venmo and i will show you i didn't even though it was

private i still went for it right in front of them the the message and i will show you i didn't even though it was private i still went for it right in front of him the the message i went with you know i paid him 400 and the message was wasn't a very quick trip for me he gave me nothing he had no response to it whatsoever probably because he's like yeah dude you made me wait for so long been here 30 minutes but yeah that's what I went with. I felt like it was like, you know, it was off the cuff. It made sense with the situation. And I have so many, like, because today is Monday for us,

the week before you guys were listening to this, I've gotten so many friend requests on Venmo today. Everyone's looking for it. Me too. And I feel bad. And I'm like, you're not going to find it. Private Jack kept it hidden. Maybe send me a venmo

right now of like one cent and like say here's what my caption was to jack and then people are like ah got it got it yeah so there's the follow-up there uh i had an idea for the comedy tour brad you're a businessman yourself okay what do you think about this so trey was telling me like kind of hey feel free to like if you want feel free to like, if you want to create your own merch, if you want to sell your own merch. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I've been thinking about this for a long time. Like, I wish that he would like, yeah, let you maybe not let you, but I wish you would

do that stuff. I'm into it already. Okay. Well, hold on. Cause yeah, you're going to want to take this bigger than I, I probably want to, but here's my idea. What do you think? So forget having all this merchandise.

I got a pack i got a ship whatever unbox every show i sell one t-shirt i sell one shirt to the highest bidder love it and it's like a something is specific about it each time like so i have to make like 35 custom t-shirts or whatever 40 custom t-shirts because it's going to have the city on it or something about it and there's only one so like this thank you guys thank you charlotte my name is jake triplet i will be selling a t-shirt in the back yeah just one no let me know you have to you have to incorporate into your set somehow probably so you have to write like right now before you leave you have to write that joke

for like specifically for each city and then you have that punchline of that joke on there. It's, it's a big task, but it could make you thousands. I can make a $65 t-shirt though, to the highest bidder. 65, aim higher,

baby. You think higher? A hundred percent. A median will be higher than that. I think judging off the people that bought our ghost runners merch, I think people are willing to spend money on you, dude. If they know if it's a one of a kind shirt.

Yes. And then I can probably make just as much money. I only have to sell one. I just have to have some weird clipboard signup sheet next to me while i'm taking pictures of people hey don't forget there's a silent auction happening to my right for this t-shirt i made and somebody just snatch it real quick well i like that though because it would encourage people to stick around they would they would think everyone would want to hang out with you i like it that's my idea one t-shirt guy okay i really like the idea of lots of t-shirts and just having big daddy come with you and just sell them i would i would sling those things

i guarantee you i would outsell trey easily like selling it like ghost hunter stuff or just your own stuff no your stuff don't even they're not have no am i'll wear a mask i would love you coming along just to sell t-shirts for me yes you have no other role on the trip like like i'm like hey trey i'm available just in case anybody like needs anything like i've been doing comedy shows i got like second place the other night you know and the other guy steals his jokes off twitter but i mean i can just sell t-shirts if that's all you want i like the idea of him offering you the spot of opening like i'd really rather focus my efforts on selling honestly yeah i just that's a bigger opportunity for me i have a lot of my plate right now with the t-shirt thing so uh and you know like yeah jake's paying me five cents per shirt that i'm slinging you know it can add up i did the same

thing with you know laughing happy jokes i would sling those things dude oh i would bargain with people you wouldn't let people leave without at least like looking at the merchandise no i would be shameless about it you would be the best salesman i would i would annoy people yeah i would annoy you honestly you'd be like brad stop that's fine you're what? I guess they didn't enjoy the show. Cause they're just walking out without a Jake t-shirt. Yeah. I guess they didn't laugh at all. Oh my gosh. They don't want to support local art. Dude. That's awesome. I want to design some merch for you. That's really fun. Thanks dude. I didn't know if you would like the just one shirt idea, but I do. I like the idea. It's just fun. Like now that we've done merch for ghost runner, it's really cool to see like

so many people have our stuff. So I like that idea too, just fun like now that we've done merch for ghost runner it's really cool to see like so many people have our stuff so i like that idea too of just like giving everyone the opportunity maybe maybe both but then you don't want to carry all the inventory and stuff but well i mean maybe it's not out of the question like i sell my own t-shirts there's just like one or two designs of a t-shirt but there is like the special shirt yeah the mvp the golden goose i think so the golden egg the mvt the yep nft i sell an nft now we're talking i give him a flash drive there we go maybe not flash drive because i feel like those are already obsolete a little bit don't give him something like cutting edge on something like obsolete right yeah i'll figure it out dude that's awesome anyway so i'm excited

for you for that and i need to like probably make moves on this soon like the tour is going to be here before i know it so yeah i need to like probably make moves on this soon. Like the tour is going to be here before I know it. So yeah, I need to like figure out what I'm doing. Order the stuff. Okay. Get it out there. Yada, yada, yada. Tell me what I, tell me if I did this right or wrong.

You're a big drive-thru guy, right? Okay. Okay. Excited for this. I was just in the drive-thru getting Catherine some raisin canes earlier. Okay. Raisin canes. Classic.

Like, Hey, what are you thinking about chicken today? We got chicken. What are you thinking about chicken today we got chicken what are you sitting and stick cluck cluck cluck i don't give a rip what you want you know stuff like that and i'm like gosh um so it was a long line it's always such a long line at that canes by our house okay and um i was there's a car in front of me, little, little car. And then there's big, big daddy's truck. And I, I'm not even close. I'm let's say 10 feet away from this thing.

Okay. And I just hear the car in front of you from, no, I'm really close to the car in front of me. Okay. Okay. 10 feet away from the, uh,

drive through people like that are like the, the window thing, not the window, but the speaker. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry. Okay.

I got it. And so I just hear like very faintly, like I didn't even have my window down at this point and i'm like oh are they asking me they're already yeah and then i hear like i don't i don't say anything and then i hear something else and i felt pressured to yell my order and so and so i was like hi can i please have a three finger combo? And they're like, did you say it was a box combo? And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. Three finger. Three finger.

With an unsweet tea. And they're like, okay, three finger combo with sweet tea. No, no, no, no, no. Sorry. Unsweet. Like not sweet at all. And I, I didn't know,

like, like, like the people pleaser in me, like the, the, like whatever. I just felt bad for them for like saying that really awkward phrase anyway. Like,

like they have to say that every time, which I guarantee they don't like and just hearing silence. And so I was like, I feel bad for these people. So I got it. I got to say something back. Even though I was so far away, I was easily from here to the weight bench bench which everyone knows how far you guys know that

helps we are so far away like like not even close and i just didn't know what to do at that point has that ever happened to you i think i'm always fearful of it happening like i'm in an awkward spot don't try to take my order now but i've had to kind of yell like that before i do the same thing it's like well they seem ready so hopefully they can hear. Yeah. I, I, I, something about it. Like I want to help them as much as possible. Maybe they're just trying, like they're, they've got a huge line. They're trying to get my order as soon as possible to get me through. And so, yeah, I was just screaming it, but I just like, I don't know if this is the right call or not. I don't know if this is helping them or hurting them. Like what if they get my order

wrong and they have to remake it again? So that's great. I don't know. I is helping them or hurting them. Like what if they get my order wrong and they have to remake it again? Oh, so that's great. I don't know. I just didn't know what the, what the etiquette was there. So no, I think you did great. You're a drive through aficionado. And yeah,

at a certain point, do you just like, okay, I kind of felt bad. I think they could hear me well as it was. I didn't need to yell. When you get to the window, you just scream that loud anyway.

And you make it seem like you have like, that's your voice modulation issues. Hello. Lovely day. We're having,'re having huh debit or credit credit thank you no thank you you want any ketchup today no ketchup we got it at home thank you yeah something like that i don't know i just it's just uncomfortable all around for me that's great i also thought about it and then they they got me off guard with like talking to me 10 feet away from me i thought about making a patreon video where i responded to everything they said with a rhyme myself like hey hey thinking about chicken

today and i was gonna say like three box combo i don't know i had a i had a thing in my mind i didn't probably not with combo but with a different combo oh oh yeah three three box or three finger combo that would be the bombo that was what i was gonna do you know what to drink unsweet tea for you can make it for me did you say bombo bombo why not say like that would be the bomb though like use like real words instead of going bombo i think the patrons would love bombo knowing knowing what i know about the Patreon membership, they're big Bombos, people. They'll be the Bombos.

That's funny. Isaac just asked us if we want anything from Sonic, do we? Yep. I think I want to... I don't know. I don't know. Do I want a milkshake? I'm going to say no thank you for me. You say whatever you want.

But that was nice of him to offer. Man, that's crazy. This time tomorrow, Isaac and I are going to be like on the beach, which is weird. I do not feel like I'm about to be on the beach. You just saw. Brad's text just came across my computer. All caps. No, thank you.

That's the most deep joke I can think of right there that got me good texting isaac all caps about a joke we just made on the podcast he has no idea i don't get it yeah you're really gonna go through a lot in the next 24 hours with isaac yeah yeah we're about to like hope and pray that whatever we've done to oh i still gotta tell you this whole story about covid testing that's been a nightmare but i think i would tell you a more fun story and if we run out of time for the like lame covid story then oh well just jake oh yeah i could tell in there but um but just jake's not lame it's just like you know you know run up spill off yes run up run off spill over i knew it didn't sound right okay pour over oh yes yeah special pour over sentence uh-huh go ahead um yeah remember that earlier well whatever we can't special blend yeah i don't think we can talk about it but okay

um two days ago on my drive to oklahoma city i called an old friend of mine i'm sure at some point in the podcast i've mentioned mentioned my friend, Ali Shields. I met her in 2011 at American Idol. We both made it to like the top 50 in San Diego. And I, I became friends with this girl. And just right away, I was like,

this is like one of the most like likable, like charismatic girls I've ever seen. Just like, just so like drawn to her, like personality. You mean you're in line or what? Sorry. Uh,

it's a pretty, I mean, there's only 50 of us. So it was like a pretty small room. Once you funneled. Oh yeah. Sorry. Not until we like got to the story judges round okay cool come to find out she's like crazy talented she makes it all the way to hollywood for american idol like does all this stuff super you know great whatever then come to find out a little bit later in life

she really wanted to go on the ellen show been there yeah sure uh and she writes ellen a song which i'm sure how many people have written ellen a song to go on the show i'm sure that happens all the time yeah but ellen for some reason likes ally's video and you can go look it up like ally's song is great but it was filmed on like a baked potato or something i'm like how did that this is not okay no not at all anyway so she gets on the ellen show ellen is in love with her personality like most people would be and it's like i want to have you back on the show this is the this is the story i probably told on the podcast she goes to like some red carpet event she's interviewing people on behalf of ellen like oh this sounds familiar

sure they start talking about how ali's never been kissed before so ali's first kiss was with usher on the red carpet yes like this girl's just accomplished so much she's so fun whatever so this is the girl that i'm talking to on the phone. And I'm like, how, how's it been? She's like, you know, I've decided, like, I really want to start taking my music career seriously. Like I've just kind of always like, I put out songs here and there, but I'm always just kind of like halfway doing it. And so recently I was like, I'm going to take a second job as a waitress so I can use that money to really like, you know, production time and whatever studio time. She's like, so I just kind of started it um a couple weeks ago or no sorry

this past weekend jamie foxx comes into the restaurant i'm kind of busy i'm not even really talking to him but jango yeah holy cow you are unchained yeah you drove here yourself golly how'd you do that horse you're no horse would you come in and he uh she doesn't have kind of talked to him a little bit but she's not super i mean this girl's this girl's performed for stars she's not getting starstruck she's just kind of like oh whatever like jimmy fox that's cool well jamie like gets her phone number for some reason and so ali's kind of like what is this about like why is he getting my phone number i don't totally know what it's about but whatever she goes home that night she's like hey

it worked for ellen i'm gonna shoot my shot but jamie foxx sure so she she doesn't text him anything back like he texted her age hey it's jamie she texts him back a voice memo of a song she wrote for jamie and just sings him this song doesn't hear anything back that night full 24 hours goes by here's nothing so she's like okay well you know i shot my shot never gonna hear that guy there's no penalty to doing this okay 48 hours goes by jamie foxx since her voicemail back and it's just like no way that was you singing no way you're telling me a white girl sounds like that why aren't you in the studio right now like he's just like falling for this girl just like what in the world like your voice you're so talented you're so good ali's like listening this can't believe it and it doesn't even know how to respond for like 15 minutes. Like, this is crazy.

Jamie Foxx FaceTimes her. And it was like, hey, I got to see you. Like, you need to come to the studio. Yada, yada. I've been ever since you sent me that voicemail. I've been working on your song, like making it a song. What? And she's like, what in the world?

And so he's like some. When can you come over to the studio to like hear what I've been working on? So she's like really excited. But also like, is this does he like my voice so she's like really excited but also like is this does he like my voice does he like my body like is this just i don't know whatever goes over to the studio like late one night when she gets off work and uh anyway sounds sketchy yeah yeah and like 11 11 30s when i get off that's fine yeah that's exactly what happened really but she's like you know i, I wanted to do it.

I wanted to see what it was all about. It goes over, I guess Jamie Foxx is like awesome dude. Never felt uncomfortable the whole time. Almost primarily talked about music. He's showing her this whole song. She sent me this, like, I don't know. I guess I can show it maybe, but like, I don't know. I didn't tell Ali.

I was going to mention all this on the podcast, but like, I'll at least show you Brad. I don't know if we need to show it on like the YouTube version. Okay. But here's a video of her in Jamie Foxx's car, like in his Rolls Royce. And they're just like listening to like the song she made. Like they're just dancing together. And she's like freaking out.

Anyway, so they do all that. And then uh apparently she's in la or where she lives yeah she's in los angeles so there's like friends now i guess and he's like creating the song for her i guess he's a complete gentleman he walked her out to her car when the night was over she has a really crappy car she kept the handles don't work so she has to crawl through the windows so as he's walking her to her car he sees her like crawl through the windows don't work yeah she had to crawl through the windows so as he's walking her to her car he sees her like crawl through the windows don't work yeah she had to crawl through the window fox could like change this girl's life in two seconds yeah like hey i'll buy you a car i'll stop working this waitress thing i'll pay for your studio time yeah go for it anyway so i just thought that was super cool like wow i mean that that was like a 30 minute story i tried to summarize it as quick as i could

there's a bunch of other cool stuff but whatever either way i'm like ali i can't believe you're talking to me i can't even answer the phone you're about to be so famous this is crazy i'm glad i got to talk to you before it happened holy cow look out for ali ali shields shields ali who is ali beal uh jessica beal oh yeah jessica beal ali ali's her sister ali and aj um so anyway that was really fun it was just fun to see like wow dude someone like she deserves this you know like this fun it turns out Jamie Jane goes a great guy of course as far as we know as of right now right now he's great they they never start out great and then like end up bad you know yeah so I've never heard a story go like that uh no I'm sure I'm sure that's

he's great uh that's that's incredible especially like not that it's really makes that big of a difference but I love that she is not necessarily down on her luck, but like she has a car that she has to crawl through the windows. Yeah. Like I'm rooting for that person way more than I'm rooting for the person like who grew up wealthy and like, you know what I mean? Like was, was had a music teacher, her whole life had a, you know, a vocal coach or whatever. Like what's her other job? Like, uh, I think she works at like a orange theory or something like what's her other job like uh i think she works at like a orange theory or something like okay yeah like just grinding like yeah seriously awesome and it's like you know what i'm gonna take my music career seriously and then next day like five days later

is in jamie fox's studio has his phone number he follows her on instagram does she even have like stuff on spotify or anything right now like yeah you can listen to her stuff she's got like three songs out wow under the name albert so good luck finding that the seo is not great i was trying to find it i was like you know what i should listen to her music again because i listen to it when it comes out and i kind of forgot i was like oh it's kind of hard to find a l b e r t yeah okay we'll find it yeah you gotta scroll a ways wow um probably go desktop version no i don't know but um but yeah she's great so that could be a recurring thing like hopefully like six months from now there's some update with ali's music career.

I just wanted to say that plain little seed. Let's see if it grows. We called it guys right now. It was me. I knew that. Remember Ali Beal? Ali Shields. Albert.

Dude, that's that's insane. Like the whole time she told me that story. It's like, this is just unreal. This is so cool. And then she sent you that video. Like she sent me a lot of stuff. She sent me like Jamie. Yeah.

Her original voice memo. She sent me Jamie Foxx's voice memo back to her she's gonna be like a bunch of cool stuff that i can show you later but i don't know if i'm like yeah yeah yeah is this a private shot i've not even said any of this i don't know you should probably ask her before we like publish this i don't know this is my story to tell we have hundreds of thousands of listeners i'm proud of her yeah that's the moral of the story so sheesh dude that's amazing um okay i got some shout outs i always forget shout outs and then i have to come up with them on the fly but all right uh i only have three this week so okay okay i have four okay um no two three first one uh i got a shout out to chipotle in the chipotle

lanes i went through the chipotle lane again for the drive through to pick up our food, uh, on their way home from church yesterday. And they somehow accidentally gave me three extra Chipotle bowls, three extra bowls, baby. Yeah. That's a shout out. So like they gave me two different bags and I had a little suspicion that maybe the second one wasn't mine, but they said like, and I ordered, you know, stuff for Bo and Hattie and stuff. And sometimes when they don't have enough of the kids meal boxes, they put them in separate little bowls.

And so I was like, maybe these are for them. And they both said, said Brad Ellis bag two of two. And so I was like, Oh, I'm not. Okay.

That's me. Yeah. Unless it's the comedian. I'm in the Chipotle. That's right. Not Brad Deuce. Oh, we'll get there.

Um, but, and so that was my first shout out just chipotle so now so that day yesterday i texted isaac and i said what are you up to for lunch i got three extra chipotle bowls if you're going to come over and he said best text i've ever received heading that way right now like immediately came over i bet he was over in six minutes he was like on his way to go eat lunch anyway yeah this is he was like i was thinking about getting chipotle so this is perfect phenomenal time it's also like kind of fun because

they're not things that i would have ordered myself okay you know like expand a little yeah like i like tonight for dinner i had a chipotle bowl with hot salsa i've never had their hot salsa before pretty good it's different it's like you're eating a whole different restaurant but so the girls names are lindsey hayley and cindy i think so if you know those three girls in kansas city yeah katherine's like what if we could figure out who they are i don't think so those are pretty common names sort of true crime podcast about these burrito girls yeah that's fun um so that's first shout out uh second shout out you said brad deuce second shout out goes to joe deuce somebody oh yes do you see this

i've seen this yeah yeah on our on our instagram this is unbelievable it's like jamie fox stuff they're like yeah joe Deuce is a soccer coach at our college. I didn't know he was a comedian. And I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What's like, what college do you go to? Apparently it's Berea college Berea. Okay. I don't know. I should have looked up where that was near Lexington, Kentucky. Probably. Yeah. I guess you remember that. Um, and this person's like yeah i i know who he is but i mean i don't think they play soccer or anything so they're not like they don't have a relationship with joe deuce i heard that maybe he did some comedy on the side i didn't know he was

such a big deal and i'm like i don't know if he's that big of a deal but he's like top three of like all of our like of our favorites that we've ever like got to perform with yeah in what way like funny or like best performer yeah yeah aaron weber joe deuce and some other guy okay we'll get it later yeah i don't know uh and then third shout out goes to super fan of the podcast andrew shooty he's a kansas city kid and i saw him at church the other day i saw that comment i was like is he being jokey joke or you actually saw him at church i was walking past him and he was kind of making eye contact with me and smiling i was like do you do you know who i am? And I,

and I actually had met him once before he bought a cutting board from me. That was kind of creations. And so, um, but yeah, I mean, I'm not necessarily asking like to get recognized at church, you know,

Lenox, the Baptist church, nine 30 service or anything. I sit kind of in the down low on the left, but, um, like I don't, whatever.

I mean, there's worse places to be recognized in that church so that was just fun to just be famous you know um i do think that like the more jean shorts grows the more we're gonna get recognized because like i hope so because like right now obviously like if people listen to our podcast they might still not be like positive that it's us but there's so many times i go out in public like very raggedy looking with my like woodworking stuff and like paint garb, you know?

Yeah. And I just think to myself, gosh, I hope people don't see me. No, I hope they do. Really? Yeah.

They get to see woodwork. Yeah. I don't know though. Like today I was at McLean's picking up breakfast and I had like a genuine, like not very big, like this big hole in my shorts, like by the thigh. And I'm like,

yeah, that's kind of embarrassing, but it's like, I don't want to wear nice clothes to woodwork. So no, that's great. That's awesome. Church lenox baptist church at 9 30 a.m yeah lower left lower left yep with all the old people you we stick out like sore thumbs but i'd like to give a shout out to uh mice i was on the phone with my dad and he said yeah we got a little bit of issue at the house we got mice and i was like oh yeah we got mice too he's like no not like this they're in your mom's they're in your mom's car no way she has a mouse problem in her car dude katherine when she listens this is going to laugh so hard

because the other night when we came home from chewy's we went there for our date night love chewy's and like the styrofoam from the to go uh box was kind of like rubbing against each other and she was like using her flashlight to look down. I was like, what are you doing? She's like, Oh, I'm just checking to see if there's mice down there.

It sounds like there's a mouse. I was like, Oh, there's who's ever heard of mice in a car. I gave her such a hard time for this. I was like, no, there's no mice in a car.

It seems a mice in the car. It seems impossible, but they have like, they are laying traps. They are like, my parents are like laying traps for the mice in the car which has got to be a little dangerous for my mom like have people ride with her or anything oh yeah but i mean they continue to find like mouse pellets in different areas like in the

cup holders in the seats or whatever like oh my sir it's nightmare habitating in there no yeah so where's the worst part where's place to find a uh mouse on your car um first place to i mean probably like on the steering wheel while you're driving like just run across the steering wheel yeah i think i think like finding like four of them right when you open the trunk just and they're just scurry around and they don't know where to go and so so like once they kind of scurry for a while you realize like they're just gonna get rabid and like whatever like just gonna get angry just get yeah defensive here so that's crazy okay shout out to trish for i want to hear the end of that story yeah hopefully you know there's more to come on that my dad was on the phone he's like actually let's go see if there's anything on the traps

and i was like this is gonna be awesome he's like oh we go oh no we did it i thought we had one so i want to know where you're putting the trap, Steve. What kind of traps you're using? Cause there's a million different traps out there. I've tried them all. Yeah. Like what, what, what are all your theories? Have you, have you ever seen one?

Have you seen one in the flesh yet? I want to know all about it. I can't imagine. I mean, I would hate getting in my car every day. If I knew that mice were somewhere. I genuinely think Catherine would make me switch cars with her. Or just set it on fire. Claim claim claim it was an accident yeah how's your mom you think she's freaking out uh i'm yeah probably i mean yeah yeah she's gotta be it'd be alarming if she

wasn't i don't know if i would be freaking out truly but katherine would die i would just try i would have to go mind over matter i just like don't think about it just don't think about it all right just drive they're they're mostly out in the daytime they're more sort of me nighttime yeah yeah yeah i wouldn't drive after like it's dark outside no way no way not without like some popcorn in my hand ready to like throw out at them like ready to like hey get away go eat the popcorn right that's diversion um that's shout out okay uh shout out to fantasy football almost being here not only is gene schwartz comedy putting out a fantasy football video soon but we were talking i thought you're about to say we're gonna do a league and i was like this is news to me well oh was it you mentioned the guillotine

league yeah do you want to do it let's do it with ghosties okay yeah because we need a ton of people yes so that's the thing what do we need 20 yeah i was gonna say what do we have to cap it at to make it right something like that it's got to be a lot um i guess we'll figure it out we still have like a week to probably figure it out yep i'm actually going to branson this weekend for a fancy football draft i'm excited about it my face football draft is while i'm in hawaii okay so not only is it at 6 a.m but i'll be in hawaii so i'm like how do i oh wow do you have any interest could i uh i don't really want to ask you to do it what day is it i think it's like i don't know if you trust me i'm like i don't know anything about fantasy football this year well but i don't care yeah we'll talk later yeah or if i can just find somebody to draft for me

um by the time what time is it what time is it local like a normal time i think it's probably like saturday at like noon oh thanks it was. Yeah. As soon as I said that, I was like, the time zone's not that different, Jake. Yeah. It's like a 48 hour difference, right?

The more I think about it, I think it's probably a Saturday, whatever. We'll figure it out. But guillotine league, it's a famous football league where people get like booted out every week. It's like only the strong survive. Yeah.

Shout out to Mr. Steeze. He told me about this. Yeah. And yeah, it's like, and yeah, not only did your

team lose all the players on your team then go into free agency get redistributed and that is what makes it so cool so then the teams are stacked by the end yes it sounds fun it sounds so fun so let us know in the youtube comments if you're if you're interested and then sometime next week we'll have more of an official like sign up like first 20 to here's the name here's the password first 20 to get in get or something like that i think maybe we do like something and do do the rosters a little bit crazy like like you know i've never done anything like too crazy with rosters like two qbs or like you know a defensive player yeah or something i don't know what you can do out there but like

in the guillotine league because eventually you're going to have a bunch of qbs in the you know available you know waiver wire kind of thing. So I think that'd be really fun. So it would be interesting to also be fun, like drafting, like, cause there's not 40 QBs that play every, that's what I was going to say.

Like, you know, that first week, if there's 20 teams, there's only, you know, 32, it's a total crap shoot.

So you got to start, there are eight people are gonna be starting backup QBs. Like I hope Taysom Hill gets some snaps or, you know, whatever. Oh, Taysom Hill will be valuable. He's a great,

yeah, whatever. Um, I do have another giveaway idea real quick. Let's hear it. Speaking of that kind of thing, I think I'm just going to cap it with the $10 and $15 patrons right now. So if you're not a patron, get on there. But we have, I think, three different shirts

that either got sent back because they were too small or the wrong size or whatever. And then I have two of those. And then I have a shirt from that gunner we're supposed to wear for our championship game that he was out of town for. So it's like it's a replica jersey from our championship game. And then I have one as well. OK, so we have four different shirts. I don't know the sizes of them.

I'm sorry. I didn't really plan this very well. I got a medium Amish jams. OK, there we go. Still in package, new with tags. So this is kind of a random idea for the game and we can maybe we do a different contest every week maybe like one one per week for giveaways and whatever but for whatever reason on my phone not for whatever reason because i do

this i have so many alarms same brother yeah oh you got more than me holy i have so many um that's like 80 plus alarms. Yeah. I think one time you and I, like, I was like, guess, guess a time and see if I have it. And you didn't give it. Yeah. And so that's the game. That's, that's going to be the 10 and $15 patrons. I'm going to put up a post and you can comment and here are the, the, uh, the parameters are, you can comment two different times each. Okay. You get one entry for each one you get right. But if you comment either from one to 3 a.m. or 10 to 12 p.m., you only get one guess. Does that make sense?

Because those are like. Because those are. I don't have as many of those. Yeah. Which I checked though. And I have more than I thought. I don't know why I have all these. Because what I do is I'm a big Siri guy.

So I'm like Siri, wake me up. Oh, it's always creating a new one. Right what I do is I'm a big Siri guy. So I'm like, Siri, wake me up in 20 minutes. Oh, it's always creating a new one. Right. Siri, yeah. Wake me up in five hours. Wake me up when it's all over. Right.

Exactly. So that's the contest. I like that. And if you win this week, you get to choose which of the four shirts you want. Cool. So comment on $10 and $50 patrons. Thank you. If you're a $5 patron, this is time to upgrade.

It's time. You got a lot of videos to go look back at. Yeah. So that's it. That's fun. Uh, I think I'll just

end with one last thing. Um, yeah, I want to talk about the last, or I'll summarize it quickly, but trying to get COVID tested for freaking Hawaii. Okay.

Um, I let, I rode in a van on the way to the wedding because this guy, like this guy, the no one in a van on the way to the wedding because this guy like this guy didn't know in oklahoma city he was going to the wedding we were all getting ready at his house he was like i renovated this like huge van if you guys would take that away i was like awesome yeah you say yes to that every time didn't have ac so if i goes back in the limo because

ty was in there with me but either way there were some uh like ty sisters there her husband some other people some like french friends people i've like apparently met once before but i think she's followed me on instagram it's not like you feel bad french friends oh we oh we we but they're like what have you been up to what's new what's going on i'm like i'm going to hawaii on tuesday that'll be fun like we just got back from maui i'm like oh my gosh i'm going to maui yeah yeah and they're like you have to get your covid test i'm like yes i have an appointment tomorrow morning in guthrie oklah. Like I didn't procrastinate as bad as it seems. Like I would plan this out because you have to get a test within 72 hours of your trips. Whatever.

Guthrie, Oklahoma is like 30 minutes north, but it's so hard to get a freaking test. I was like, I'll take whatever. Yeah. And like, you don't want to go all the way to Guthrie. We went to Mercy Go Health. And that's awesome. They like give you your QR code, like right to you. They make it so easy.

Like it's you get in and out. Like there's so many around Oklahoma City. Just do that. I'm like, oh my gosh, that's great. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. This is one of the, a lot of people get in trouble because cute girls talk them into things. I get in trouble because cute girls talk me out of things. They talk me out of going to freaking Walgreens and Guthrie. I already had an appointment. Like what was I thinking? This is the classic, like I've never been to the Walgreens and Guthrie, but you don't want to do that because that's not my experience. Yeah. This is my experience. So you have to do it exactly like I did it.

And then a different part of the night happens. I'm talking to a different group of people and I'm like, this is my plan. This is what I'm doing. They're like, so I'm like, so I think I'll probably just wake up at 9 a.m. Right when they open, call them, make sure they're available. Like, oh, it's a walk-in. Don't even call. Just like walk up.

And I go, oh, screw me then. All right. I guess I won't call. And so I legitimately, I go to bed at 4.30 a.m. That night, I wake up at 8.45. I, uh, I don't call. I go straight to, I try to get to mercy, go help by 9 AM. I walk in the doors locked woman goes like, Oh, we are having trouble today. You can't go here. What does that mean? I don't know. We're having trouble today. You can't come in. All right. Do you have any suggestions of where I should go uh yeah um quail creek or something like that

quail springs like i'll figure out what that means i guess so then i drive like 20 minutes this one uh i like urgent care yeah okay i check in with them and uh i'm like are you guys still accepting walk-ins yeah of course of course just check in here check in all right we've reserved your spot in line you're good to go expect to Expect to be back by 7.45 p.m. No, no, no, no. Okay, that's not going to work. So I go to a different one. That's not working.

Like how far away is Guthrie? By this point, I've missed my like window to get to Guthrie on time. It's like, oh, these girls. So then this very stressful moment of like, I have a very small window of like, I'm in Oklahoma City now. Walgreens has no more appointments the rest of the day. How am I going to do this i booked some like a couple of appointments for today or yeah yeah when i'm listening to or when i'm recording this uh the day before i'm leaving for hawaii i do

urgent care in the morning walgreens at night or in the afternoon go to urgent care this morning all right all right what are you here for and oh first of all i book an appointment and they're like all right go ahead and uh fill this out and uh sit in your car and we'll call you when we're ready for you like what i even book an appointment for if i gotta wait in my car i i should have known i should just do the walgreens thing person care is a mess i just i let the cute girls talk me into anti-walgreens and it's like the hard thing like i said is like they've never been to walgreens they don't know i don't know what that experience is like. Yeah, it's fine. So then I'm sitting in my car and that's why I was so late to work today because this place

took forever. Oh, that was, this is today that you're just sitting in the car. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm just continuing to be stressed. I'm like, I'm going to miss out on Hawaii. And the worst part of it is I'm probably going to end up being positive. I'm going to somehow have COVID.

I'm going to false positive test. You're going to be stressed and that's going to trigger the stress. It's going to get my mucus and it's going to make me positive. That's how it works. That's how it works. I finally get in there. The guy's like, all right, what are we doing today?

I'm like, figured you should have known that because I just filled out 18 pages of paperwork. The point of this thing. Yeah. And I'm like, I just need a negative COVID test. I'm flying to Hawaii tomorrow. This guy's already given me a hard time for procrastinating.

I'm like, dude, just, I'm stressed. Like I got to be at work soon. Like I, you know, whatever. Can we just get it done? He's like, what kind of tests do you need? I need I'm like well I'm on the Hawaii travel restrictions website it says it just needs to be NAAT like nucleic acid amplification test it needs to be NAAT like approved he's like I do not recognize those letters and I'm like oh that's not good I was like well like what do you normally do when when people need a negative COVID test for travel?

He's like, I'm trying to think if we've ever had that situation come up. I'm like, there's no way I'm the first person to come through here who needs a test for the situation. Dude, yeah. So he just can't fathom that I'm in this situation, that I would need this 24 hours. And so I'm like, he's like, so is it the PCR or the rapid test? I'm like, I don't know. He's like, well, you need to get a hold of the airline. I'm like, I don't think Southwest Airlines is the person I call for this. You're a doctor. I literally said, I was getting sassy.

I was like, I have a marketing degree. Like I don't, I don't need to know this information. Yeah. I was like, I don't like, listen, buddy, you come, you are the professional. If you had trouble with supply chain, I could do a SWAT analysis. I wouldn't tell you to call Johnson & Johnson. I'd do it myself. Gosh. I don't know. I've already got you halfway.

Meet me halfway. I know what I need. Tell me what it is. Golly. He didn't know what type of test. This guy leaves the room. I've never done this before. I go rogue.

I open the door. I start walking around urgent care. I'm trying to find some healthcare professional who knows what in the world is going on. And so I start talking to people like, hey, this is what I need. I'm trying to go to Hawaii. And sure enough, yeah, the doctor or whatever you want to call him, I had was so ignorant, was so clueless. I'm glad I suck.

Suck. I'm glad I suck. But I sought after second and third and fourth opinions for people this other guy is like oh yeah you should be fine you got to have the pcr test i was like oh well that guy told me it was up to 48 hours so you can wait he's like oh no um it should be 8 to 12 and if you're flying even shorter i go how does that work he goes i don't know like all right yeah well whatever if you say it's gonna be shorter okay great okay that's a that's a life hack right there for you if you just say no i'm flying i'm flying okay well in that case i'll get

it to you in just a second the lab will have just stay on your car and we'll let you know when you're ready for 7 45 p.m so then i finally get back in to take the test and he's like he's like what are we doing i was like i'm gonna go with pcr test he's like all right great now i gotta warn you this is pretty pretty uh intense covet test i'm, is it worse than like the normal ones? I was like, I remember one time, you know, getting the only one I've had. It was pretty brutal. He's like, well, this one, let's see. And he's having to read a paper to give a COVID test.

I'm like, I don't, are you reading the instructions? It's not a Lincoln log. It's just like, you can put it in there. He's like, well, this is saying to put it in there until I feel resistance. So I guess we'll do that. I said, this guy's never done it before. Hold up, put it in until you feel resistance. I'm'm not even gonna make the jokes you didn't want to make i'm just like yeah this is awful yeah i was like don't feel like you have to do that he puts that

sucker so far into my brain oh it hurt it hurt i was like blowing air out of like my nose and my mouth i was like oh i'm like i'm like clenching my teeth for you right oh it was in there and maybe like every nurse who's ever lived is like yeah we do that every day before we're you know i don't know i'm probably like did you look at him though and say did you feel resistance sean i resisted huh oh my gosh yeah that's what you should you should have been like resistance resistance so we get enough resistance we're good then he leaves the room i'm just sitting in there for you know trying five to ten minutes violated my tears yeah i'm getting the the me too hashtag ready for the like to hurt have you ever heard of the golly and uh that's why i'm texting trey

like hey i think i'm gonna be pretty late today like this is taking forever like i'm just sitting in this room just waiting for like not even results like he said it would take hours so i don't know what i'm waiting for this woman comes in i've never seen before she's like jacob i'm like yep i'm like am i good to go she's like oh no i still need to take your vitals i was like oh i just needed a covid test she's like ah well we still this is procedure So then she takes my height, my weight, blood pressure. Why? I don't know. She looks in my ear.

She has me breathe. Oh, man. She made me brush my teeth for some reason. I don't even know why. She asked me how often I floss. I don't know what this woman's profession is. Oh, my gosh. She also did the thing, which I've never understood this.

I got in a gown. I got in a hospital gown. I don't even know why. It was a white polka dot t-shirt. I was pretty used to it. But still, it didn't look good on camera. I don't know what was going on in there. I had to, she shampooed my hair, gave me something called the MVP treatment. And I was like, what is happening here?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Like she shaved my neck. I was like, I'm not complaining, but I'm going to be late. She said, come back in three weeks. We'll do that all again for free. Right. Yeah. As long as you feel the resistance. Oh my gosh, dude. What in the world? It was so strange. I was like, I'd already told Trey I was going to be late before I got my vitals checked. Yeah. And she also did the thing. I don't understand this. Like, I'm sure it does make sense medically, but like they have you breathe real in while they listen to you with the stethoscope, but they're listening in very weird spots.

You ever notice this? Like, I kid you not. She was up in my collarbone today. I don't know, dude. She's my collarbone and she's talking to me. So like, you can't hear whatever it is you're supposed to be hearing if there's an issue she's like hawaii will be fun i used to know this doctor in topeka he would go to hawaii and it's like also take a deep breath for me and he would go to hawaii all the time like there's no way in your earbuds you can hear like

inflammation or whatever you're supposed to be hearing right now and also that's my collarbone i don't breathe there i'm not i'm not trying to hate on all of urgent care workers everywhere but that's like kind of the the mo of urgent care and i didn't really know that yeah and now i know i think katherine katherine went to urgent care the other night because she was like late at night and she she was like literally there's she said there was one other person the whole thing and it took him like an hour and a half to do it and she did the same thing as you not like really go rogue but she was in her waiting room or whatever like in in her little room examination thing and she had to like get out of the room to make sure like they weren't like shutting down.

Like, are you still operating? Yeah. Like she like wanted to make sure that people were still there. She's like, I don't know. No one's come to see me this whole time. Jeez. Yeah. And even after the vitals, I was there another five to seven minutes,

probably just waiting on my phone. Just, you know, whatever. So did you end up going to Walgreens still? Just in case. Well, one last thing about urgent care. I finally, they're like, all right, you're good to go. And they, you know, they give me nothing. They hand me nothing. And so I'm like, how am I going to get my results? And like, oh, we'll call you. And I was like, well, remember I need this for like Hawaii. Yeah. You know,

like, oh, okay. Oh, wow. I'm glad you said something. I was like, well, this is the whole, and so then they go, I kid you not. I go, can I, i need some sort of electronic you know like proof of my negative covid test like can you send me an email and the guy goes you need an email why don't you go and have a seat like no just i've written this down for you i i even signed in like electronically when i got here and i give you paper version just email me so i just sit down and wait again i was already like so hot like i just know i'm gonna be so late for work and i yeah you know just i hated it and so luckily i'd hedged my bets and i had i had scheduled an urgent care appointment in the morning and a walgreens appointment in the afternoon and so the walgreens it was so easy

i swapped myself in the drive-thru she wasn't even watching me i didn't know yeah yeah katherine didn't barely put it up there at all i I found some resistance just because I wanted to make sure I got it. You know, I didn't want it to be like inconclusive. Maybe it goes positive if I don't get enough muke. I don't know how it works. Yeah. I don't know either. But either way, both tests came back negative.

And I think now the stress is kind of gone. I think I'm good to go. I think I will make it to Hawaii. But yeah, I should have freaking Walgreens Guthrie. It was right there. I let it slip away. It was right there. All right.

So I'll give you some advice for Hawaii. You have to follow it blindly. Okay. Okay. Don't listen to anybody else. I'm not giving it to you right now. I mean, I can, but. Oh, you're saying like, once you give me the advice, do what you say to do.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Don't listen to other people. No matter how cute they are. Because I know who you are and I'm cute too. Yeah. Yeah.

In my own way. Tubbo. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Oh man.

That's awesome. Wait, do we got it? We got to follow up without the voicemails. Ohbo. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Oh man. That's awesome. Wait, do we got it? We got to follow up without the voicemails. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah. I know it's long. How long have we been going? How long have we been going? We are already at, oh my gosh, an hour 32 right now. Hour and a half. Voicemails can wait maybe. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. We got to talk about this. This is awesome. So what's his name? Tony tony you guys really like tony last week tony hey tony you pick me or up or what darling that got me good anyway tony uh it was somehow not clear that this is the wrong phone number i already have boost mobile sorry

i'm just i'm just reminiscent about this like i the idiot. Like he called you out so quick. He called your bluff. Like you already, you already have boost mobile. Oh my gosh. I don't know anybody in my life that has boost mobile. Although we did get a comment from my boy, Patrick, my Spokane friend, right? At like midnight last night when the episode came out, he goes, I already liked it. This episode is called boost mobile. I hope you guys are trashing on it because I have boost mobile and it sucks.

And then I saw a couple hours ago, he commented, didn't get what i wanted but honestly it was way better yeah so that was great shout out patrick um but so tony didn't get the hint and tony kept calling and i counted the the 48 hours following uh you know last week's podcast recording tony called me 45 times golly dude all through the night i got a voicemail as late as 4 30 a.m I got probably 20 voicemails out of him and it got to the point where I had to block him like even though it was unknown number somehow the phone knows so I was able to like block his number and uh maybe I shouldn't have because it was you know we are gonna get some content out of this but if your phone's going off day and night oh yeah it was just too it was too much to keep up with and

so I didn't even have this idea. Brad was like, dude, we should go through the voicemail. So I was like, yeah, we probably should. Yeah.

There was like, there was like someone there that Jake hadn't even listened to yet. I was like, you gotta listen to this guy. So, um, I forget which one we're going to start with. Oh,

two 40 something. Okay. No, two 41, two 41 AM. Okay. Oh, here we go. Two, 2.41. 2.41 a.m. Okay. Here we go. 2.40 a.m.

Hey, I guess you don't want to talk, Michelle, or anything, so it's up to you. I guess it's yours all, it's not mine, so I'll find something else. Thank you. Thanks for taking up my time. I won't waste any more time or effort. I guess I will talk to you later. Hope you have a good night. whoever you're with or whatever whatever you're doing

is worth it talk to you later bye okay so it looks like Tony's cutting it off 241 yeah 241 a.m. on August 20th that's a very nice voicemail you got from him yeah that's it he said you know you're out of my life I don't want to talk to you anymore I don't

want to waste any more of my time. Your loss. Your loss. Not mine. Hope you're enjoying whoever you're with or whatever you're doing. Yeah.

But then the weirdest thing happened. At 3.04 a.m., we got another voicemail. 23 whole minutes. Yeah, I was just calling to see where he was at. See what he's doing. How come you're ignoring me

and blowing me off and avoid me? That's all right. I guess I'll go find someplace to park or whatever. We'll play a few games in the subpro a bit and then we'll find a place to park. So I'll talk to you later. Bye. Okay. So we have a little bit of a character arc.

We know a little bit more about tony now yeah at 3 or 4 a.m he's a fruit ninja guy some sort of lifestyle where he's gonna go park and play some games what does that maybe he has a few friends he's playing spike ball in the parking lot could be spike ball could be spike ball could be candy crush farmville could be he sounds like a farmville guy could be jenga or the knockoff Jumbling Towers. Either one of those. The Aldi brand. And that's the last we heard from

Tarney. Well, except for another voicemail 20 minutes later. Yeah, I'm still trying to get a hold of you. See where you're at everything's okay I guess you're with some guy

or somebody and you can't talk or whatever okay I'll talk to you later bye wait wait for it don't waste my time see ya wait wait for it

don't waste my time see you dramatic pause by tony he's like maybe there's something else i can say this voicemail anything else really i won't waste my time anymore i love the idea of waiting 10 more seconds to say i don't want to waste any time anymore michelle's listening to that she's like okay he's right oh you know what you know what maybe does tony not think that maybe michelle's sleeping at this point yeah what kind of lifestyle was that 3 40 something that was 3 29 a.m 3 29 a lot of most people in the world are sleeping at this point tony why not just wait till the morning yeah i don't know and there was another couple pretty good voice mails in here but they're all from they just say unknown they all say unknown and it's hard to sort through they're all they all look identical so i don't know where it's at

but there's another one that we listened to what did he say is like i know you were trying to trick me but i saw you behind the semi trailers rolling a joint yeah he said something about a church too didn't he like around the corner of the church with the trailers roll the joint yeah he said some other things we can't repeat and like some accusations yeah so i don't know i think tony might be better off without michelle hard to say but maybe or maybe michelle i think they're better off without each other yeah they just need to find different people uh so i unblocked tony's number before we started recording just hoping he would call back but by this point he has to get the hint like the phone calls have not been going through for five days so hopefully he's done but hey if we get some more voice memos

voicemails more content for next week how in the world did he get your numbers confused with michelle's that's what i want and he's so confident that he did talk to michelle on my number right so i'm like is michelle so i'm like i mean i think it's pretty logical explanation she's some sort of cia some sort of tech expert knows how to reroute cell phones to do that really trick people like Tony. Yeah, that's what VPNs are, I think. Yep. I'm pretty sure that's what VPNs are.

Yeah, yeah. So it's like Veer. V is for Veer around your phone. Personal numbers. Personal numbers. Yep. Yeah. Either way, phone or personal.

It doesn't matter. It's yeah, it's bilingual. It's like MC is like master of ceremonies, master of communication. communication it's all good it's a master at it's a veer it veers around yeah so anyway i just love tony man yeah so he's been chatting me up i've been listening to a new podcast called s new to me s town you heard of that oh yeah yeah i listened to that that one's got some twist and yeah it does you just now listen to that i know is that funny like like like everyone's always like talking about true crime podcasts and i'm like i'm not i'm not into that thing oh they're phenomenal yeah i'm i'm gonna honestly it kind of ended okay but i think i'm gonna get into some more so if you're out there ghosties

i'm once again asking for recommendations best true crime podcast do you know about cereal i know about i've never listened to it oh definitely, definitely listen to Serial. Right. Wasn't that like the thing that inspired S-Town more or less? Or like the same people? Yeah. Kind of same format and stuff. And it was what like I think led to kind of the podcast

boom a little bit. Yeah. As far as I'm concerned. Catherine listened to it, you know, whatever that was five years ago. Yeah, it was awesome. OK, I'll check it out.

Up and Vanished. It was only like seven episodes, too, which was great because then. In and out. Yeah, exactly. It's a woodworking episodes too, which was great. Cause then. In and out. Yeah, exactly. It's a woodworking day. But that guy kind of reminded me of the, one of the, one of the characters on that show. Yeah.

That could be, that could be him. Yeah. Maybe. Okay. Let's do at least a couple of voice memos. Okay. I have so much to still do. I haven't even started packing.

I got laundry still in the washer right now. I got so much to do, but we got at least do some voice memos because you do have some good ones. Which one do I want to do? Do the really really good one. Oh. Do you mind? Duh. I don't know which one that is, but here's one.

The amazing one. Howdy, Jake and Brad. Tis I, Ray Woods. I'm currently driving through nowhere in Arkansas, and I just passed a sign that said, someone stole the money in bright yellow in someone's yard. I would just love to know what y'all think the backstory for that is. And secondly, I don't know if y'all have already answered this, but I've just been thinking about it a lot. If y'all were on The Bachelor or Bachelorette, not sure which one, I've never actually seen it, but I do know that they have to do a cool walk-in thing for a a first impression what would you guys do personally i

would drive up in a van full of golden retrievers and just like kind of hang for a bit anyways that's it y'all have a nice day bye okay i'm gonna give you just a real quick hard time that you don't know bachelor bachelorette but it's on your mind oh wait sorry yeah we have two things well she's just like i don't know which one the bachelor bachelorette you would be on i guess you do like like i've never really watched the show but i know enough about what it is everyone knows and she's the one that's the bachelor has all the girls on it with the one guy that's the bachelor yeah yeah ray you know she's like i've never once seen this show but for some reason i can't stop thinking about like intricacies of like certain episode formats so you know you don't buy it that she hasn't seen the show.

Or at least that she's been thinking of it. It's on her mind a lot. I don't know. I've never been like, I wonder, OK, if I was on Love Island, the show that I've never seen. How would I or I don't know what to say. I wonder if on the third day, just like they had it, you know, just like Tony and Sarah, Tony, Michelle. OK, first of all, what was the first thing they said the the robbing thing who stole all them where did all the money go i think that that's pretty funny that is a funny sign to see in yellow in yellow for sure

uh where'd all the money go i don't know what that means monopoly enthusiast for some reason i can just i'm just on the gold like thinking of gold because of yellow they they don't know what that means monopoly enthusiast for some reason i can just i'm just on the gold like thinking of gold because of yellow they they don't believe that money is backed by gold anymore that's the stance they're trying to take yep yeah they don't i think that's what it was like where did all the money go because they have they used to have stacks of gold like proving their wealth and now it's gone more blockchain people i would say did she just use in arkansas or did i just she did yeah okay well small town arkansas when i think small town arkansas i think yeah like cutting edge of like blockchain and like cryptocurrencies and that's probably it that's what they're known for right uh like cersei's the blockchain capital world yeah razorback state uh rogers is yeah big cryptocurrencies

and i think 90 of the world's bitcoin mining computers are in conway i know that conway arkansas yeah yeah yeah it's like and little rock is thinking about changing their name to little block right isn't that what it is little blockchain yeah little blockchain so there's that right there's that little block jeff bauer's gonna love that joke see you jeff what was the second thing oh what would our entrance be i don't know i like the Jeff Bauer is going to love that joke. See you, Jeff. What was the second thing? Oh, what would our entrance be? I don't know.

I like the golden retriever thing. Bringing something that's universally loved and like you don't even have to do the work. Just like let someone else be like bring a celebrity. Like if nothing's off the table, bring Tom Hanks. I'm going Jamie Foxx. He's so swag. And I have a connection to him now. Like a loose connection.

Yeah. Tom Hanks. I would bring Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is a good one because Jamie Foxx is kind of kind of hot. Tom Hanks. No hanks no one really finds him attractive yeah yeah like you're still you're still the looker in that walkout i was just thinking like just like have like pretend like you know all the guys because like i'm imagining when you're walking out there's other guys that are already there yeah like dap up all the guys and don't even pay attention to the girl and then eventually like oh my gosh sarah oh. Oh, that's why I'm here. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just so content being single. Um, you know, that I, I don't need this so confident in my current walk of life. Right. Didn't you say

it's like psychological warfare in that one Jean Schwartz video, like not texting a girl back for a few days, like psychological warfare. What you want to do is manipulate them and get into their mind and uh, yeah, really just deceive them yeah i've been married for so long i don't i don't even know how to think about stuff like this but that's my answer is just dap up all the guys and ignore the girl and not even really address the tom hanks thing either and yeah what a power move oh tom yeah yeah are you on the show or no wait you were in the limo with oh my gosh oh. Oh, yeah, that's right. We didn't talk much. Come on. Yeah. Yeah. Tom on. Tom.

Just puns with his name. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, Tom was pretty quiet in the car, mainly because of the puns I kept using with his name. But I don't know.

I think he's kind of standoffish. I don't know. I mean, yeah, Tomish. I don't think he had a seatbelt on because he went over. He's going to be so bad. I knew. We went over a speed gump i feel like he's so standoffish because he might have some sort of disease do you think it's the terminal um honestly i'm worried about Tom being around Sarah.

Cause she's attractive. I'm afraid I can't say, I can't say it. You know what I'm going to say? It's Buzz Lightyear's friend. I can't. Oh man. That feels like rated P for paper. Yeah.

Um, is something like, these are so dumb. I don't even, I don't even get it. I was trying to think of something with Kyle Hanratty. Is something weird on Tom's watch? His hand's kind of Hanratty. Nice. A new voice for him. I don't come out with golden retrievers.

All right, go ahead. All right, let's listen to one more. Hey, Jake and Brad. This is Jewel Man. I am Chandler man and lucy's man sister we also have older sister named taylor how many girls are in the family probably more of the weird sister the one that probably fits more of the ghost runners podcast vibe honestly um okay and i'm like the third to listen so that's really exciting um but this next year or in fall of 2022, I'm starting to apply for counseling school. So that's super fun. And I was wondering what like advice would you give if you were counseling

someone? Maybe like some funny advice, some out of the box, some, you know, little different, little weird, little quirky advice. You guys are awesome. I love listening to the podcast. I like, first of all, what's up, Joel? Glad you're listening. A lot of sisters and a man family. Yeah. God's got a sense of humor once in a while, doesn't he? Doesn't he?

Dude, that was what they get the wedding. Oh, no, I talked about this on the Patreon video, didn't I? Yeah, the pastor was just trying a few too many jokes. Also, he kept using possessive pronouns, which just told me like well we're here we did it yeah it's like i don't know i don't know if we we are here like yeah they are the bride and groom are here they did it it's like watching uh the chiefs and being like come on we just need to stop come on this is big for us we do this every time yeah anyway jewel love the question i just wish it was not so specific. You know, that's the problem. Like Brad, for instance, let me ask you, if you were a doctor,

what are some things you would say? Okay. I would say, um, I wouldn't eat that second, uh, bacon cheeseburger. Ooh. Okay. Brad, what if you worked in sales? I would say, what are some things you would say just in general yeah uh i would say if you're like a school bus driver okay what are things you would say what about if you uh did finance what are some things i would say no just just what about if you did it how would you feel what if you did what if you did finance um if i did finance what if you um thought about doing something in trading like what would you say then like trading if you had a job that dealt with business what are like some fun things you would say if you were a businessman if you're a businessman what would you say business man

with two ends what would you do if you sold christmas trees what would you do if you sold Christmas trees? What would you do? If you had a like a job that required you to like work with other people Mm-hmm Like what are some of the things like what would you like when you guys are all together? Like what would how would it go if you're an Enneagram one through four and a half? What would you say? as a counselor If you Slip the right side of the bed What would you say you say if you like just got your

haircut and then you're talking to like someone else what would you say we're dying to know remember that that was Chandler man yeah she would ask a voice memo and be like we're dying to know we did it it's ours time here's what I would say as a counselor I would say never go to bed

angry actually you know what I would I would like no i say never go to bed angry still i think it's a good advice um i don't know the answer to these questions let's try to give a little more specific into it okay let's say i'm counseling you yes i'm having trouble okay and what would i say yep persevere james one two like let's say I'm having like issues and that's why I came to a therapist in the first place. What would you then say back to me? Like what kind of professional advice? I would say it sounds like you're going through some stuff right now. Dang, you nailed it. I did. And maybe it's because of your past or your current like stresses. Honestly, it's a little bit of both. Really? Yeah. That's usually how it goes, buddy.

Honestly, I think we'll need to go in for another session. Really? Yeah. Maybe up to twice a week. I was thinking twice. Do we need to go twice a week, you think? Can you do three? I can do three. Yeah.

Well, but when we do three, it starts being hour and a half long sessions just because if I'm seeing somebody regularly, I'm going to want to see him really regularly. Really regularly, yeah. R squared. So how about we just do, but the first half hour,

I forgot to tell you this first half hour is cryogenics. Ooh. Yeah. So it's just, just cry, just cry. That's what it is. Talk about your genetics.

Where'd you come from? Who are you? Let's get up that tree. Yeah. We just listen to family tree. We just listened to the, who, who are you for?

We let's do it four times through. It's a pretty long song. So that takes 30 minutes. That's most of it. That's most of the time. That's what I'd say. That's what I'd say. That's what I say. If you're going through trouble, that's why we do some cryogenics.

Now that's only if your patient has some sort of issue. If they're good. Let's say if they just come in saying like, what's up? I would say, what the heck are you talking about? What's up? I would say the sky because i went to counseling school i legitimately thought about going to therapy and being that second guy of like i don't have anything specific just like oh that's dangerous though i feel like because then they'll find stuff i was legitimately gonna

do it but then it was like it's just very expensive to get that kind of you know work done that's the right phrasing. And so I was like, well, if nothing's wrong, I don't know if I need to be spending this kind of money on it. But I was intrigued by just like, I don't think it would hurt. We take care of our physical health. Let's let's take care of our mental health. I'm a big fan of like introspective stuff like that. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Better help, by the way. When I dated that psychologist, it was phenomenal. It was awesome. Does that really think? Oh, OK. Yeah was phenomenal. It was awesome. Does that really think? Oh, okay. Yeah.

Yeah. I forgot. She's a teacher of psychology. Okay. I mean, when I did that football player, no, he was a high school coach.

He was a secondary coach for the middle school. I'm just kidding. Love you. Okay. All right. Anyway, the middle school. I'm just kidding. Love you, Kay. All right. Anyway, let's go to some reviews of the week. Mine is short,

but sweet. Me and my bros listen to the pod a lot. One of them is listen to every episode at least three times. Every time we were in the car together,

all we hear is Jake and Big Daddy. Every Monday, I hear a new Ghost Hunters podcast at least four times. This podcast is hilarious and clean and the best keep it coming thank you sir all right mine is from dvd beach and it says these this podcast is what's up it's actually a really nice one i don't know why they have such a weird username but uh this podcast is like tv to my ears i anxiously await for the next episode while listening to one of the previous ones, 2019 and 2020 were some of

the roughest years of my life, but finding the ghost runners was definitely the best part. I'm a 14 year old girl and the oldest in my family. And when I was 12, my parents got divorced. Um, I already had severe anxiety and depression and a lot of problems with my health throughout the years. As you can imagine, the problems got worse after the divorce. Ended up getting, just had some lots of issues, it basically says. Developed OCD, Tourette's since it started, and I've been kicked out of my grandmother's house and now live with my two brothers, all these other family members. All to say, I'm in a really hard place right now and struggling quite a bit.

Jake and Brad are just about the only people that make me laugh anymore. With every new episode I listen to, I get to go into my own little world of ghosties. Thank you, Jake and Brad, for helping me get through this difficult time in my life. Although you may not know it, you helped me so incredibly much, and I thank God for you every day.

I hope that y'all's families will continue to bless those around them and keep their faith strong in the Lord. I love y'all. Love you too, DVDBGXW. Wow. That was really sweet. Yeah, I don't even know what to say to that except just

some vulnerability in the podcast app yeah wow that's cool though we like to see that stuff so jewel if you if you figure out who this is maybe have some discussions with this girl because it sounds like they could use therapy oh jewel man jewel man yeah yeah it sounds like they're going through some stuff and obviously we like being an outlet to that, but you know, we're here to do our part, whatever you need us. But no,

that is really cool. Obviously we've said it a million times, but it's just cool to hear things like that, that we're obviously not directly trying to do, but we're affecting people one way or the other. So I'm glad it's in a positive way. Don't tell us if it's negative. I actually do in a way.

If it's really that negative, like, Hey, like you're ruining my life. I would like to know that. So I can knowing potentially stop. Yeah. Tell Brad and then he'll decide if he's going to tell me.

Let's go some creations on Instagram. So Brad, would you like to in this episode of the jingle? Let's do it. Okay. My computer is about to die. It was written by Haley Hutchins and her sister, Anna.
