Jake, the other afternoon, Catherine came home to our kitchen and said, Brad, why haven't you fed our kids yet? And I said, I've already fed them. And the kitchen is so clean. You have, you can't even tell. You don't even know. And it is, it was one of the best feelings of my entire life was like, was like her thinking that I hadn't done something.

And then realizing like he had done it so well that there was no trace, no trace, no bloody glove. no um nope what's the thing in watergate the um i'm not too familiar i was like negative 25 years old when that i should know more about watergate all i know about watergate is from forrest gump i know it's like there's some people over there you know whatever they had flashlights yeah i don't know is there a recording device yeah no recording device there we go no water no water in the gate but it was it was the best feeling ever to be like like that's i've i've i've fed them plenty of times without her there but never has she come back and been like uh-oh like you it's 1 30 and you haven't fed the kids

yet what's going on never oh. Oh, I just trust fine. Accused of child neglect. Quite the opposite. Yeah, I wiped everything down. I mean, it was just nice. I put the dishes in the dishwasher. And you look at the counter later and say, look at that Shema. Look at that Shema.

Look at that Shema. I mean, you could see a reflection in that quotes right there. That is a thing though in adulthood. There's several things like that, that it's just like, I did this so well. I'm so proud of myself. Right. And I need other people to know. Like, please recognize me for this.

Like, this is very rare for me. Not that you guys need to know this, but whatever. It's a podcast. About a week ago, I had I went to the bathroom and I sat down. So you can imagine what happened. Yep. And I go to use toilet paper. Uh-huh.

Didn't need to. No wiper. Swiper, no wiping. Nope. You got the Raynex on that bad boy. I got a use toilet paper. Didn't need to. No wiper. Swiper, no wiping. Nope. You got the Raynex on that bad boy. Got a Raynex. Just glides right off. Yeah.

Get it out of here. Oh, that's a great feeling. I wanted to go out and show people. Like, see this? Right here. No residue. Yeah. This is on my butt.

I could wipe the kitchen counter with this thing. Which is also clean where i fed my kids earlier oh yeah you just put the toilet paper back no yeah yeah i don't need it someone else does oh it felt so good it's such a weird w do you ever get do you ever like you dip in again just in case like are you sure yeah i always do that i'm always like maybe i missed that yeah i think i hit it in the right spot but maybe i missed maybe we need to go back one more time just in case it'll get like a little wider girth in the hand spot, but maybe we need to go back one more time just in case. Maybe we'll get like a little wider girth in the hand. Like maybe I got to widen my net here.

Right. Exactly. But turns out I did good. Something I ate that day. I don't know, but it was a good time for me. Yeah. What about like, I don't like to do this very often, but if you're ever like in the car and you're eating, I do not like to eat in the car. I do. But like you get out and just doesn't, I do not like to eat in the car. I do. Um, but like you get out and just doesn't look like you've ever had anything there. Like, no, no loose fries on the floor. Yeah. You know, no, uh, I don't know. Sesame seeds from the fun. Yeah. Ooh. Like I'm a big fan of, uh, McLean's, uh, bakery, McLean's market. Very fluffy,

very like crispy, flaky sugar like on the the butter rolls yes very hard to not have evidence that i just had a butter roll yeah you got to look down and like swipe swipe you got to scrape anything rice-based chipotle burrito good luck good luck my brother you know the guy like on oceans 12 not oceans 11 okay i'm sure you're really familiar with those 12 that like navigates through all those lasers to get to the thing. That like, that's the kind of skill

and precision it takes to not get Chipotle like a grain of rice on the floor from Chipotle. That's right. It's gotta be a good week. It's gotta be a good week. It's gotta be a good week.

We fed our kids well. No wiping. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat, too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet, because it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast.

Every Monday morning with Jake and Brad. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Well, we are back. Another episode of the ghost hunters podcast with jake and brad yep not to be confused with the ghost hunters podcast with scott and dale man those guys are losers we hate those guys yeah these guys are trying to steal our idea stole our name and no i don't think there's anything out there there's a ghost runner video game that's all i know of that exists out there yeah and it kills our youtube search you forget the s on youtube and yeah good luck there's a

lot of ghost runner uh videos out there a lot of gameplay a lot of strategy a lot of tips but not for long it that was how it was with jean shorts oh yeah first couple times you searched diy how to make your own booty shorts now we're like right up there diy how to be famous and get recognized at quick trip my name is brad oh i'm the one writing this i texted you uh and trade this earlier this week but derrick and i went and filmed so jake jake and i are doing this video uh city versus country so jake's a city boy i'm the country boy which is just so funny because that's what people probably assume right but. But it is backwards. Yeah.

Everyone's like this. This big guy must be a. Yeah. He works with his hands. Right. Exactly. So after Trey and Jake went out on tour, Derek and I went to Derek's sister's house. They have a farm.

It's like it's a beautiful, awesome property. And they have all these animals and some of the animals they had. That was I was I was a little bit leery of, to be honest. I wasn't that pumped. I was like, yeah, I'll do it these animals and some of the animals they had that was, I was, I was a little bit leery of, to be honest, I wasn't that pumped, but I was like, yeah, I'll do it. You're scared of deer. So I can't imagine. I am scared of horses as well. Like, I don't know why I've never ridden a horse before, but I rode a horse this week and imagine in your head what it looks like for big dad to ride a horse. And then imagine that horse is actually a Shetland pony. Oh, beautiful. Little Sebastian. I rode a little Sebastian basically. And that's hilarious. Yeah. It was

great. Like, so Derek, like, like it's just classic. Derek always has like kind of extravagant ideas that we're always just like, I don't know. Maybe like, let's just, let's just do it the way we were going to do it. And he's like, well, we could do this crazy thing. You know, it's like, ah, maybe let's do slow motion for pickleball stuff it's like that was actually pretty cool yeah but turns out um anyway so he's like he's like maybe for this next one like you could be riding the pony and i was like yeah maybe like it was like maybe the third time he mentioned it so i was like okay let's ride the pony and so we go into this thing and there's two ponies and then i guess i don't think this is a pony maybe it was just a i guess it was it was like a taller pony tall pony yeah it was a vinty it was a tony yeah and uh no but there was these two ponies and he's like they're really strong they're way stronger than you think they'd

definitely be able to hold you i was like okay great and i'm about to get on it and this kind of gives away the end of the story but derrick just goes uh oh and he's like he pauses for a second he's like one of them doesn't like being ridden and one of them does he's like, he pauses for a second. He's like, one of them doesn't like being ridden. And one of them does. He's like, that's, that's the one that likes being ridden. That's the one. That's the one. And so I like, and it's like short enough where I could just swing around. Like, I don't have to like dip down yet. Like I could stand, I could stand without being on top of it. So I'm standing there. And then right. As I put some pressure on this bad boy, it bucks like crazy. Wrong horse. It knocked. Cause it was bucked. Like, Oh man, it was just like, and, and like, I'm like trying to be cool about it. Like literally, I don't remember if I've ever ridden a horse in my life. Yeah. And this I'm like, this is why this is my nightmare. And like, it is strong. Like it was like, it was going for me and I was like, okay. And I was trying to like, be cool and like laugh about it. And looking at

Derek, like Derek film, this thing, man, Derek didn't film a thing, not a second of it. Oh no. And by the end of it, I was on the ground and I was like, come on, man. Like, oh man. And Derek's like, yeah, that's the one that does buck actually. It doesn't like it. Like, thanks, Derek. So that reminds me of when people are like, dude, you should try this. It's this like kale, veggie, kombucha, cauliflower steak. Yeah. And like, I'm not going to like it.

Just try it. Just try it, dude. Just try it. And then I'm eating it and I want to vomit. I'm like, this is why I don't do this. I i wouldn't like i know myself well enough i know my stomach would buck me off yeah exactly so uh little sebastian just flew me flew me into netherlands so funny but yeah it was a good title for all uh yeah i woke up that morning to a text trade texted all of us like hey congratulations guys like we just secured our first brand deal on jean shorts this is just the beginning this is a really exciting moment

and brad goes i just got bucked off of a horse and no one was filming it so i'd like to take 100 of the money i'll take the first brand deal what are you guys doing you guys are sitting in your ivory towers everyday bunks yeah your ivory tour buses so anyway yeah it was a fun it was a fun time with derrick i you i didn't end up using the atomic fireball i used milk duds wait for what for the uh for for looking like i was chewing oh right right right right derek thought it was great so as long as derek liked it i can't wait to see it i i'm glad that he made you ride a horse because that's pretty and a shell and pony that's just hilarious it was we probably should have done more honestly it was a it's gonna be a quick

little like thing but there i am on it saying i'll run for mayor is what i said oh i love that yeah okay i'll be mayor yeah we i got to see trey in a whole new perspective today we did our first ever there's like a new character he's done the middle school stuff for a while it's very popular we did like six year olds today and that was very interesting i mean him just walk around itching his butt you know and just like a lot of poop jokes and yeah um that was very interesting. I mean, him just walking around itching his butt, you know, and just like a lot of poop jokes. And yeah, that was interesting. Just being very weird. And meanwhile, Katie's there.

Alan's there. Lucas is on his way. It was like this is a very different environment. And also Trey's being a psychopath right now. But how can you I would have a hard time doing that if I were him. Like just like he is never fazed by it. That's crazy. I remember one time he came over when I used to live like in Peter's now house. Like we needed a different environment for like a Tik TOK or something.

I don't know. He comes over and Isaac is sitting right next to him on the couch. Like I think Greg was somewhere nearby and Trey's just like filming a Tik TOK being a crazy person. There's no problem. Never even met Greg in his life. Just no, no, no big deal. Like that's how I go. I have that thought about John Crist a lot, which I know they're not the same person guys, but sometimes they, how much in public he's filming. Yes. Yeah. Like he'll just do stories.

Yeah. All the time in the airport or something. I'm like, yeah, I couldn't do that. No, I don't. I can't. I'm too uncomfortable with that. I can't do it. But I guess if you're making enough money, I would be you figure it out.

I'd be like, just suck it up for two minutes and just do this thing. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. Fun story. I'll tell you after the podcast. Let me tell you about John you after the podcast. Remind me to tell you about John Kristoff's podcast. But anyway, today's a fun day to record the podcast. It doesn't feel like a normal podcast day because I'm still like on like a leg of the tour right now. It was Iowa City two days ago, Lincoln last night, Kansas City tonight.

But you're on a field trip or something. It's like it's like it's like field day or something at school. Like it's like you're still in school, but you're kind of you're on a field trip or something. Like it's like, it's like, it's like field day or something at school. Like, it's like, you're still in school, but you're kind of, you're kind of outside of school. Yeah. It's like different. I woke up on a bus in a parking lot. That was different. In Kansas City.

Yeah. Where, where, like, I'm, I'm so curious about the parking lots for some reason. I think a lot of these theaters just have like a back parking lot for buses. They're kind of just like built for this. So yeah, we were just, that's one interesting part of the tour. Every day you just wake up and I feel like I never have any idea, right? I do not do a good job of getting my bearings. It's just like call an Uber

to probably go to golf or whatever thing we're doing. So it's like the only thing I'm focused on is what business did he say he would meet me at? Okay, walk that direction. That's what I was just about to ask. Like, how do you Uber? Yeah, with just like across the street somewhere.

But then when it's time to Uber back, I'm like, oh man, I have no idea where the bus is because there's not always a parking lot the last two nights we've been on the street but the street is like not always like the street we're on is not necessarily next to the theater so it's like where was i where did i wake up this morning because you don't think to like let me look around let me gather what street am i on what are the landmarks oh it's just like all right i could retrace my steps i met the uber driver at bison witches and that was i had to go across the street so what is bison witches i'm pretty sure that was the name of this like deli yesterday that i met the uber driver what a great like hey like we're gonna spend our life savings on a deli what should we call it i was thinking

uh bison witches what do you think either that or corn huskers nah bison witches got the best pastrami in town everything in lincoln is named after the corn huskers i mean there's corn huskers nah bison witches got the best pastrami in town everything in lincoln is named after the corn huskers i mean there's corn huskers haircuts corn huskers steakhouse corn huskers bar and grill well you hear about how like the football stadium like on saturdays it becomes like the third biggest city in nebraska oh that's cool it's like at the third highest population yeah so yeah it's it's all about the corn huskers. It was, you know, it was pretty sweet. Like on one side of the highway, football stadium, other side of the highway, baseball field, basketball arena.

You can just see it all right there. It was really cool. It's like right in the middle of the city. But, um, oh yeah, but today, so like I have a show tonight, but all I've done today is like shoot multiple videos with Trey. Now I'm doing a podcast. It doesn't feel like I'm about to perform tonight. It feels like a normal day.

It's like, you're just doing standup comedy later. Like open mic night. I might show up at open mic at like 710. You know, like 1800 of them are your friends. That math doesn't work, but that's how it goes. But there's a standing room only. Yeah. Yeah.

We were kind of talking about the garage that got me extra excited. Yeah. And I just I don't think I realize how many people are coming. I don't think I did either. Because the first time we performed in Kansas City, my sister was the only one that I knew in the audience. Because there was only like 200 tickets or something, wasn't there? Yeah, they did go pretty fast.

But I was like, you know, people have their own lives. It's not all about me. Like people have stuff to do. Like I'm not going to expect that all of my friends can make it or are available or even bought tickets. But turns out everyone I've ever met is coming. And it's so cool. I'm so just like encouraged by that alone.

It kind of made me like almost feel bad that I wasn't about to, I almost didn't get it to be a part of this. Like, golly, like, like even socially, like forget about Jake. I just want to see all my friends in one place. Yeah. That's what I was telling Alan. I haven't hung out with Brad and Gunnar at the same time in months. Like it's like the who's who of ghost runners, you know, season two, like everyone at the ghost runners Olympiad in 2022 will be there tonight. I'll say that you're Peter. You're the guy that fills up, you know, a two. Everyone at the Ghost Hunters Olympiad in 2022 will be there tonight. I'll say that. You're Peter?

You're the guy that fills up, you know, a water bottle with gas? You have his tires in your trunk? You sell Ralph Lauren pants for $2,000? And your realtor? You're the one that thinks dragons are real? I didn't say that. I didn't say that.

It's going to be so fun. That's right. But yeah, anyway, Kansas City tonight. Iowa City was good. Tell me, tell any stories't say that. It's going to be so fun. So that's right. But yeah, anyway, Kansas city tonight, Iowa city was good. Tell me, tell any stories you got about, let's see.

I jotted some stuff down Lincoln. Yeah. Uh, let's see. Okay. So fun story about Iowa city. We're all kind of sitting there. Oh,

that was a fun little, I can't even do it yet. How do I just do that? On demand. Yeah. Uh, we're all sitting, talking. It's like right before the show, like I'm about to go on stage and I don't know where it yet. How do I just do that? On demand. Yeah. We're all sitting talking.

It's like right before the show. Like I'm about to go on stage. And out of nowhere, Katie just goes, I think we were talking about age or something. She goes, Alan, when do you turn 30? He goes, a year from today. We go, what? Seven o'clock at night.

It's been your birthday all day. It's like Toby on the office. Yeah. Or no, Ryan on the office. Yeah, yeah. Seriously? It's like, I can tell somebody. No, no, no, don't tell. It's fine. Yeah. He's like,by on the office like yeah or no ryan on the office yeah seriously it's like i can tell somebody no no no it's fine yeah he's like yeah i just don't really tell people like what are the odds that katie just asked you like when you turn 30 um yeah a year

K-Life moms. Yeah, that's awesome. Robin, if you're listening, I can't wait to see you tonight. Oh, Robin's going to be tipsy on some wine and just ready to go. Big hug coming your way, Robin. She's she's rowdy, too.

Oh, man. She's going to love it. But anyway, that was so fun. I just laughed. I laughed for such a long time. He's like about a year from today. We were all just like pause for a second. Like today, it's been your birthday all day long today.

Oh, it's so funny because it's such a guy thing guy thing like that happened to me it's just so hard it's so hard what do you do in that situation hello everyone yeah it isn't my birthday like just wear a shirt i think we should start making shirts to say it's my birthday birthday shirts but like kind of subtly so like it's not in your face no you don't want to be like oh you're that guy that's like you're obsessed with your birthday but like just so you can post it to people like just FYI if you come in contact with me Read the very small print on my shirt says it's my birthday We should absolutely I mean if we sold bonfire shirts, we should have a birthday shirts Okay, just just same thing but just a birthday instead of bonfire. No, I think it's my birthday. It's my birthday period

All right, kind of the office, but it's our own thing. Ghostwriters.life. We'll put it up there. So that was a really fun part of Iowa City. It was Alan's birthday the whole day. No one had any clue. We went golfing that day. We could have done something for him. Right. Never did. I was giving Alan a hard time.

I was like, when you go on stage to play the piano tonight, just start playing Happy Birthday. And you're mouthing to Trey, sing it. Sing it to me. Do it. You're starting to lead him in. Happy... Trey, sing it. it to me do it you're like starting to lead him in happy trey sing do it sing it do it 29 happy yeah 29 you understand 29 uh did you guys grow up how big was your church growing up was it small ish fun fact trey is doing a charity show this saturday at the first church like the church where my parents like started. Yeah. When I like lived in Springfield, Richcrest Baptist, Richcrest doing a charity show.

Anyway, a small church. Like, did you guys sing happy birthday during the service for people? No. Like, like I would say starting in like middle school, our like music director guy, he wasn't really a worship leader. Like we were old school enough that he was just like the choir director actually like started like, just like, let let's let's do happy birthday for people during the service like before like the closing hymn that weirdly sounds kind of familiar actually it's thursday's 83rd birthday let's sing to her and like here we go that might actually that sounds vaguely familiar like that might have happened i don't know maybe it was like a christian movement thing later on like hey you can sing happy birthday in church it's fine fine. That's really funny. But yeah,

that was the funnest thing. It was like, Oh, this is great. And then we went out to like insomnia cookies later that night. And we were just the joke the rest of the day was like, Alan's making us first birthday. Alan didn't even get a cookie. He was the only one who didn't get anything. I'm like, Alan, why'd you drag us here, dude? You love your birthday so much. You're being that birthday boy. Come on, dude. Yeah. Okay. I guess I'll get to Alan. Alan keeps begging me. Yeah.

He wants to be celebrated. So is Katie on tour with you all the time? Yeah. She is officially done with her job. Oh, really? Yeah. I didn't know that. I don't think.

Yeah. Nevermind. Surprise. She put her two weeks notice, but I think she's still gonna work part time. We don't need to get the details. Basically, she's with us now. She's hanging out. Yeah.

I don't know what she did while we played golf yesterday for four hours but she was around she could find something her and lucas went ate something vegan together probably um that's actually kind of her thing really yeah yeah it's like oh i like the seaweed wrap there yeah yeah uh-huh they they eat very similarly so they get along in that sense california rolls yeah um vegan i can't imagine. But let's see, what else? Iowa City. You just have French fries all the time? What do you eat?

Lucas was actually, he's like, I tried to be vegan, but I was just so weak and so hungry all the time. Oh, really? So now he's vegetarian and Katie is pesca- Pesca- Pescapalian. Pescapalian. Pescapalian.

Yes, that's right. Pentecostal. Pescatarian, yeah. Episcopalitarian. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Anyway. Okay, sorry. yes that's right a pescatarian episcopal tarion yes yes anyway okay sorry um iowa city uh it was kind of fun other things that made the show unique my mic my wireless mic kept cutting out kind of took me back to the the canna cuck days of just like technology never working that's the worst but what happened is like it went out so i was like oh i'm just gonna grab another mic off stage but then start working again working again. So like, Oh, and then cut out again. So then I found out something's like, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh. And as I catch myself doing this, then I just start doing the

robot. I was like, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh. And it was great. And then there was this, I'd already cracked some jokes. There's this nearby town that's known for being very Amish. And there were like a few distinct screams when I started doing the robot. And I was like, yeah, like in the middle of my set, I always do a little dance break. And I kind of like did some moves and there was a couple of screams. I was like, those are the people from Kelowna. They've never seen anyone move like this before. They think I'm a witch. Like, hello. Yeah. Bison witch is over here. Yeah. Bison witch right now. So that's why I made it different. Yeah. That's, that's always tough though. Was it the battery? What was going on with the mic?

I'm not sure. You got fixed? I was like, maybe I mic? I'm not sure. You got fixed? I was like, maybe I'm covering the receiver or something. I'm trying to hold it in different spots, but I never got to the bottom of it. So I just switched out mics and I was fine from then on out. Gotcha. That's the toughest, dude, is like knowing like, how much do I address this problem or how much do I just push forward?

You know? Yeah, yeah. Because you're thinking of it. Yeah. This doesn't seem. And it messes with your mind. Like, it's hard to like continue to go in with your own rhythm and stuff. Because especially there was one joke I said where only one word in the sentence went mute.

But I was like, still like, I think they heard most of it, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was an article, I think. I think it was the or and. I don't know. Let's hope so. But yeah, it was fine. It didn't seem to be an issue.

The guy in the front row that I called on to start it off. I said, what's your favorite Trey Kennedy video? And he said, the White Claws one. I i was like that is not trade kennedy that is trevor wallace that is a different white guy on the internet well he's got he's got seltzers yeah um and so then i just gave him a hard time i just got ragged on this guy like he thinks every white guy on the internet's the same like this guy is trying to you know like uh he thinks trade kennedy was like i forgot the jokes i was making something like i loved him i love trey in that video with uh kramer and george in the 90s that was the best you know and then later on he would drive around with other other funny guys and cars he was

hilarious when he when i thought he was gonna get back with rachel but he was living with ross at the time right he was hilarious in that show yeah exactly any white guy who's been on tv like yeah they're all the same you know know. Yeah. What else? What other? Like, I'm trying to think of other ones. Hmm. You know. I don't know.

You know the rest. His wife's name was Sky. So I was like, oh, you know. OK. What's your kid's name? Cloud. Pretty progressive for Lincoln. Yeah.

You think? Iowa City still. Oh, sorry. Oh, in that case, never mind. But I was like, her name is Sky. I was like, do you have a kid? And like, what's your kid's name? Just hoping they give me something good. I was like, your name is Sky. i was like do you have a kid and like what's your kid's name just hoping they'd give me something good like your name's sky sure yeah yeah yeah and so what's your kid's name she said cora i was like oh well that makes sense you know sky and cora reef you guys are both things from nature right just natural family yeah

yeah just up high down low good for you guys um other things clever thanks i love the names the names are great uh other things made the show special i put on my story a girl gave me a box of oatmeal cream pies fresh box of ocps have you talked about how you like those before or is it just correct opinions i mentioned that the bus has been stocked with them okay if you want to give something to me you can i forgot that i'd said that this woman comes up like here you go i was like oh i was like oh wait i said i'm sorry i forgot i asked for this that's funny it's funny that she gave you the thing that you said the bus is stocked with like it's awesome just like that you got anything you the thing that you said the bus is stocked with. Like, it's awesome. Just like that.

You got anything. But it's like, you know, the bus just has unlimited amounts of oatmeal cream pie. I'm loving it. Here you go. So here's some more of them. We really did. We already had plenty, but it was nice to have my own box now. That's great.

And then one last thing that made that show special is a woman afterwards. This is a new one. We take a picture. She said, you were so great tonight. Once my divorce finalizes, I'm going to DM you. I mean, at least she's waiting. What? And her friend goes, she will.

She will. I said, okay, thank you. I would be so tempted to be like, don't waste your time. I'm just like, don't waste your time. Just know, just know that that's not not you're not my kind of my type you're not my kind you're not my kind you're not my kind iowans you know iowans we're more wheat less corn you know that's me yeah so that was one thing those were some things that made that show stand out the main thing last night about lincoln was just uh so many Ghost Runners fans.

Really? I took pictures with probably, I mean, there was a time where it's like four people in a row in line. Ghost Runners merch, Ghost Runners merch, you know, so that was really cool. That's so cool. And just so many Ghost Runners. Not a single Ghost Runners fan in Iowa City that I know of. I didn't talk to any of them, but so many last night.

It's so interesting how like the shows can differ. Like there were more people in Iowa City. I thought I did better in Iowa City, but I probably took 15 pictures that night or last night. I bet I took over a hundred and it's like, wow, I don't, how is this so different? You know? Yeah. Yeah.

Demographics are different, I guess. Maybe there's the certain, whatever, whatever it is. It's like, it's fun either way. So last night was awesome. Uh, the new one last night nothing about divorces but these women were like purposely letting other people cut in front of them in line so they could be last which is already a red flag like they wanted their own time to talk to me without the restraint of like yeah they didn't want you to be like actually i got some people behind you that

need to talk to you they're like no go ahead go ahead and i'm already noticing this like this is not gonna be good these two women are each 6'5". And have had something to drink tonight. Yeah, each. They're sisters. And yeah, they asked for a picture. It felt like I was taking a picture with the Harlem Globetrotters or something. They were towering over me.

Amazonian. It's like Dwight whenever he picks up those girls. It's a college basketball team. Good luck against Khan College. That's what you're thinking right now. Yeah, I was was like oh my they're just like clearly pretty tipsy and they're like we just got done with trey's meet and greet and i was talking to trey and he said that you i was asking about you and he said that you love

six five women and i said oh i bet he was being sarcastic and like no no he was being serious he was being serious and their friends like look i'm there were friends like, look, I'm married. She's, I'm asking for her. I'm, I have three kids. Other one pipes in. She does. She's still breastfeeding. I'm like, okay, I don't need to know. Just like all the details.

Yeah. She's still breastfeeding. Like that, that really validates. She has three kids. Oh, okay. Well, in that case, she does have three kids. I believe you now. And this time security guard came to my rescue.

I feel like he was in earshot he could hear what was going on he's like ladies we got to get out of here i was like okay thank you yeah thank you she's still breastfeeding did you hear that can you believe that i can't i can't compete with that kind of strength yeah so uh that was what made that show different also one other thing when it comes to women in line afterwards uh granted i did have a soft shirt on but a woman said oh i skipped ahead sorry just one goes can i touch you and i go uh i think all i had time to say was uh she puts her hands on my chest and goes oh that's soft on your chest yeah and then starts rubbing it around it was like she was kneading dough it was like she was about to make a homemade pizza yeah and i go

that's probably good that's probably good there that's you said that i think that's probably good that's probably enough okay all right getting my dotarize all right that's okay yeah yeah yeah thank you oh okay so that was what made last night special oh wow out of all the places that i would assume they're going to touch you i would think maybe arm maybe yeah bicep oh no not yeah touch my my abe lincoln's yeah i was thinking either like shoulder bicep maybe i don't even know like putting your their arm around you yeah i got your back straight double hands to chesty can't do that because sometimes like girls

would be very polite do you mind if i take my mask off for a picture that's the main question i get asked like no go crazy or they'll be like can i just hug you i'm a ghost i feel like i need you feel like a yeah my son or something like yeah of course but can i touch you it's pretty open-ended where are we going here okay well i was open concept i was planning on just wearing like some normal stuff tonight should i wear like all black tonight and like stand next to you at the receiving line? The receiving line. I'm passing out grape juices. The receiving line.

I might need it. We'll see. I mean, yeah. I don't know what to expect tonight, but. I don't know. Is it going to be like more of your friends coming up to you or is it going to be like. I think it should be like a separate section for friends. Like I will come see you. Maybe you can gather them like don't go jake wants to see you he wants

to talk to the strangers first i'll go through the line to everybody like do you know jake hey bride or groom who you're here for yeah exactly you're receiving line yeah i'll yeah okay i'll do that yeah maybe get some data data points for me like while you're there what's your age um mural status uh median household income how many rompers do you own? Really? Good for you. Sorry. Jake, Jake has his things. Okay.

Uh, pre-trib. Yeah. Whatever. I don't know. All these different things. That's fun. Um, only other thing last night I could think of was great. An all time interaction with the crowd last night.

Uh, right off the bat. What's your name, sir? Brian. Awesome. Nice to meet you, Brian. Who are you here with? My wife's friend. Oh, I said your wife's friend. I hear you correctly. You're here with your wife's, you know, yeah. Apostrophe S friend. He said, yeah. And I go, where's your wife? And he said

at home and the crowd just lost it. It was great. I didn't even have to crack any jokes. Like that is the joke. Yes. Like you're a man who came here. Like every other guy here got dragged here. Right. And you dragged another woman here. You know, so I just, I didn't even really say anything that funny. I was just addressing the situation. So that was really fun. Oh, that's kind of like in Phoenix. Whenever Trey had that dog, like that was like a, what was it?

Like a service. It was from Afghanistan. It was rescued from Afghanistan. Yeah. Or something like so perverse and hilarious. Like I just remember right, right. When the person said that back to Trey, I just lost it without like, yeah, it was the same thing. It was like, that's the joke. That's as funny as it's going to get.

Like all you have to do is stand there for a few seconds and like have a weird reaction. Just basking what this guy just said. Okay. Can you with your wife's friend? So honestly, I maybe could have dove into it more, but I was like, all right, I'll let me get on with my stuff. But the story goes deeper because after the show, Brian comes and finds me. He's like, what's up? It's Brian. You know, I'm like, dude, you're the man. Thanks for being a good sport. He's like, and this is my wife's friend. And I was like, oh, nice to meet you. And he's like, yeah, people always confuse us for husband and wife all the time because we're always hanging out like strike two. Brian. And then dude, get this. He goes, he goes, yeah, her husband's out

of town and my wife's back home. So we thought we'd kick it together tonight. Like, and she falls asleep super early. So she's, there's no way. And she says like, she's a super deep sleeper. She'll, she'll never know when I would get back. Yeah. Yeah. And my phone died.

Yeah. And like find my iPhone got turned off. So I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen. Yeah. I can't take a picture with you, Brian. He's like, he's like trying to make it like, tried to explain it. Yeah. Like, no, no, no. You don't understand. Like my wife is allergic to red meat and like

my favorite place to steakhouse. So we go me and this, me and this other, my wife's friend, we go to the steakhouse every single year on the same date. We call it our steak-aversary, our steak-cation and you know, know like and i'm allergic to stainless steel it's making me a weird reaction so every now and then i'll put on a different wedding ring so you know yeah i just won't wear one yeah i just won't wear one um and funny enough like i find more of my wife's friends out when i'm not it's like whenever i'm having allergic reaction keep the ring on shut up shut up brian other people can hear you dude that's too good there was this wasn't quite as deep but he goes one step further

i get an instagram tag not a story post there's a timeline forever post it said me triplet jake and my wife's friend that was his caption and i just commented sure she is brian sure so maybe i'll give him trouble maybe he'll learn his lesson but yeah that's all i commented i can't i i don't want to judge too much but brian if if i were you i would stop hanging out with that girl one-on-one just don't do it yeah just don't do it i don't know you're married yep it was weird to me and it was weird to everyone in the audience but uh i would say half the people who came up to me after the show were just like brian was awesome.

Like, that's what they wanted to talk about. Because then in the duet, I called back to it. You know, I was like flirting with this girl on stage. It's like, I want to make you my wife, but I won't leave you at home. You know, some people would love that. And so. Yeah. I mean, that's got the crowd works always got to be people's favorite thing because they're going to always be like, we'll always have Brian. Like that was special to us.

Yeah. They recognize the rest of it is like Jake's thing that he does everywhere. Probably. But Brian was special to our show. Yeah. No one else has a Brian that's saying that ridiculous thing right there. Yeah. So the Brian's going to have that old man that, you know, I forget whatever his name

was, Terrence or something. Alan. Alan. You know, just, yeah, that's the kind of stuff you're going to, no one's going to have boots from Gooch. That's true. So yeah, that's true so yeah that's a good point because i love it too so it's nice it's like a mutually beneficial like mutually

appreciated thing it's got to be like the highlight for people i think yeah so probably unless unless it's not good and then just don't worry about it don't be like in your head like that didn't go very well guess they're not gonna enjoy this show that kind of is how i've started to gauge it because the jokes themselves they all work they're all good from night to night but it's like but the crowd work is how i determined like was it a really good show yeah i was like i was fine and and yeah and i think you definitely should gauge it that way for your own enjoyment because you're doing the same jokes otherwise every time yeah yeah but maybe maybe other people don't think that way but yeah i don't know but try a new joke last night big hitter can't wait

to say tonight so round number two tonight I was I was telling that to Catherine. I was like, I'm really excited to see Jake again. Like I assume and I could be wrong, but I assume Trey does a lot of the same things that he did in Phoenix. Is that true? Yeah, his is probably I'm trying to think since Phoenix. That was a while ago. He's probably got some new bits.

He tried a new one two nights ago, actually. So we'll see if that sticks around. So yeah, his is probably 80% the same from what you heard in Phoenix. But I think in Phoenix, you only did 10 minutes is that right yeah 12 or something like that yeah you're doing 20 mine's probably 40 to 50% the same yeah so you'll hear some new stuff hopefully that's awesome and yeah I mean I probably did six new jokes in Iowa City and I'd say five of the six landed so I was like that's great wow did a new one last night so yeah every night there's something new to be nervous about which I kind of like that's how it should be I think

keep yourself on your toes like yeah that's a little nervous Lucas last night so yeah every night there's something new to be nervous about which i kind of like that's how it should be i think keep yourself on your toes like yeah that's a little nervous lucas last night he's like you look like you're in deep thought and i was like yeah i'm deciding if i want to say this joke or not tonight he's like you do stuff different every night i was like yeah it's fun to have something to be nervous about he's like dude i've never thought about that so it's like all right good because lucas is like the seasoned vet or whatever like he's always teaching me stuff so but it keeps you sharp i think if you're like always thinking of a little bit a different way to say new puzzle piece yeah you never know love it um one last thing sorry i keep saying that i put it on my story uh girl came to the show last night with a shirt that said hashtag jake is for real that was awesome i saw that and i said brad is

gonna love that i saw that this morning at like 5 30 in the morning good for you good for you and man did i love it i was yeah i said, Brad is going to love this. This is awesome. I can't, this is such a weird love language. You made a custom shirt for me. Thank you. And it's like, it's like, so I just decided to do that hashtag, you know, so on a whim.

I'll just say a few things real quick, and then maybe you have a few more and then we'll do voice memos. But the other day I went with Isaac to this lumber mill. I was just like, Isaac, there's this new to me lumber mill, like, and I'm buying something from it. Do you want to come? And oftentimes he'll be like, yeah, sure. Why not? Just go expand our horizons a little bit. So we met this guy, Larry at the lumber mill, Larry owns it. And Larry was quite the interesting guy. Um, I don't even know where to start. So, so first I guess I'm, I'm building these really cool, like massive Walnut slab coffee table. So like, it's like one entire piece of

Walnut for the slab. Usually I put like a bunch of pieces together. So it's like big old slab. And those are really hard to find, like really rare, especially like this one's like 48 inches wide. So like, wow. It's like, imagine a 48 inch wide tree, a massive tree. Yeah, exactly. It's like very hard to find. And so, uh, so, and I, I literally wanted like the widest, uh, board that he had of this stuff. And of course that the widest board is on the very bottom of the stack. And usually he has a forklift, but it ran out of fuel. And so at like eight 30 in the morning,

you're like, can we just put more fuel in it? Like, is that an option? I kind of had that thought. Peter's got some water bottles. Later on. I realized that the fuel is like,

I don't think it's gas. It was some other kind of battery powered something. So whatever I, but I, I kind of said that and I kind of thought I, he thought I was a fool or something for saying that. I was like, fuel is fuel. Um, but anyway, and so at eight 30 in the morning, Isaac and I are like lifting all these Matt, like very, very heavy. The three of us are lifting these heavy, like slabs off to the side because idiot Brad, one's the one at the very bottom. So there's like 13 of these slabs. And like, we kind of started getting the system down and Larry goes, Larry's like holding one in and

he's like, Isaac, you right there. And just, just wait until your dad gets around the other side. And Isaac and I both just looked at each other like either either how old how old do you think I am or how how young do you think Isaac is you have one of our ages way off Isaac has a beard like and he's here on like a Monday Tuesday morning at like 8 30 in the morning oh I would love to know what ages he thinks you guys are I was so I was so dumbfounded by this I was like wait till your dad that's so funny so a few different times throughout the thing I was so dumbfounded by this. I was like, wait till your dad. That's so funny. And so a few different times throughout the thing, I was like, good job, son. You know, thanks dad. You know? And I think, I think he might've picked up on our sarcasm back and forth. Cause yeah. Cause like after that, I think he maybe said we were buddies or something

like that, but, oh man, it was awesome. You just wait till your dad gets around there. Oh, that's so funny. There's a lot of things that I've got a lot of stories with him that I could tell, but they're kind of off the podcast, kind of inappropriate stories. I mean, he just has a lot of language, but the other thing that I guess, uh, it was funny enough, actually the slab I bought. So I paid decent money for this. Like I paid a lot of money for the slab. Um we pick up the slab right before it and move it, father-son duo. And there's this kind of fuzzy stuff underneath

in one of the holes of this slab. Okay. And I didn't think too much of it. I was like, that's interesting. There's a cotton tree or something in here? I don't know what that is. It's a walnut slab. And he goes, yeah.

Yeah, that looks like... And he kind of starts fidgeting around with this stuff. And he's like, yeah, that's a mouse slab. And he goes, yeah. What? Let me. Yeah, that looks like. And he kind of like starts like fidgeting around with this stuff. And he's like, yeah, that's a mouse nest. And there's like two or three of these like baby mice in there. Oh. And he goes, he goes, Brad, pick those up and throw them outside, will you? Oh. And I just, I'm not comfortable with Larry, but I just go.

I'll have my son do it. I go, no. He's like, are you scared of those things? And I was like, I don't know if I'm scared, but i'm i'm not comfortable like that's what i said i was like i don't i don't think i was genuinely scared of them but i didn't want to pick it up i don't want to touch are they a dead mice alive baby mice either way i just don't want them on my hands like imagine like a mouse is already pretty small imagine a baby mouse like that's just a really tiny little thing that also i don't know i was like no i'm not messing with that goes Pick those up and throw them outside. Yeah.

But then we were like, well, like we genuinely had to like contemplate, are we going to buy, uh, you know, the slightly smaller slab that we need, like we need a bigger size. We're going to buy the one that costs,

you know, several thousand dollars for this mouse nest inside of it. Got the mouse nest. So don't tell my client, but I bought the mouse. The mouse nest. Okay. You can clean it up.

So that's, that's, that's, that's Larry for you. It's just the father-son trip uh between isaac and i and that really caught me off guard that's so funny wait till your dad comes it caught us off guard we're like like we both looked at each other like did we just hear that right you say dad that's so funny oh yeah so oh that's good anyway yeah that's that's. Um, oh, and then I have one other thing yesterday at McLean's, this guy comes up to me, I had eaten my breakfast and, you know, had my plate and they often bust your table. So this guy comes up to me and I kind of see him

out of the corner of my eye. I think he was a worker. He looked pretty cool. Um, and I was like about to like, let him take my food. And I S I see him go like this. He puts out his fist and I was like, Oh, he's trying to, he's trying to pound it. And so I look up, he's like, what's up, man. He had a mask on. I recognize it's my neighbor. Um, but he doesn't look the same as normal. It's not Henry. It's not Henry. It's a different name. Um, he's super cool, dude. I don't, I, I'm worried maybe this is the podcast because I've never told him about this, but whatever. Uh, super cool dude, like pastor, uh, ah, this is weird. Good. Whatever. I'm going to do it. I'm going to tell the story. I'm going to tell the story, man. And you're just

going to, he's going to have a good sense of humor about it. But, um, anyway, he's really cool guy, young, like probably a couple of years older than me, very trendy, but he just looked a little bit worse for the wear. Like to the point where I was like, is this like, when I first saw him come up, I was like, maybe this homeless guy is about to come ask me for money or something. Okay. Um, and I was like, this is Kansas. This is weird that people are like homeless here. No, I'm just kidding. Um, and you know, we were talking for a little bit and then he just goes, yeah, just got a procedure done.

Okay. And I was like, Oh, and I just, I just do the scissor motion. I was like, snip, snip. And he was like, yeah, he's like, he's got four kids. And he's like, yeah. And I was like, oh dude, I'm so sorry. Wow. And you could almost sense it on him.

You could smell it on him. There was something different about it. Like, and, and, and so he told me, he's like, and I, I know some other people that have gotten it. And like, it apparently is like a pretty bad recovery. Like, really? I mean, where does it hurt? Where the sun don't shine?

I don't know. What is getting sniffed? I think just headaches mostly. Where does it like cold sweats? It just feels like a bad hangnail on your foot. Where does it hurt? I don't know. I don't know what, all right. Like, like point. Show me on the doll where it would hurt. Yeah. Where, what gets snipped or snapped? I don't know how it works to be honest, but it's down there. Like something down there is getting snapped. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Some sort of tube, I guess. Yeah, I think so. I think it's like, you know, how like, it doesn't seem like that would hurt. It seems like just, you know, remove enough the spark plug. I guess, I don't know. So he said, so he was like, dude, I'm fine right now.

He's like, I asked my wife, who would be, if it would be too dramatic if I, uh, just like completely went under for this. And she's like, yes, that would be too dramatic. He's like, but I'm on a lot of volume right now. I was like, okay, good for you. He's like, yeah, but I gotta go home before this wears off. And so he's like, my dad's over here. He's driving me today. And you know, we talked for a little bit longer and then he walks away and you should have seen the way he just like like if you didn't know any better you just think like this guy looks like he's just kind of like out of it but the fact that i knew it was just like i don't know i don't even know how to describe he's in pain and on a ton of volume it's a good combo yeah like maybe like old men aren't really like walking that way because they're old maybe they just had vasectomies

and so had a procedure like i'm like like he looked like he was like you know all of a sudden like struggling to like walk down like the sidewalk of the park or something like to go play chess they say if you lose your big toe you have to relearn how to walk again but it also could be a vasectomy maybe that's why you have to relearn how to walk you will define big toe i'm just kidding um yeah but he was yeah he was funny about he's like you know he's like he's like you're taught

your whole life like protect him protect him protect him and then all of a sudden you go in for a surgery and it's like do your worst

I'm like I don't know I don't know if after four kids if we're like I gotta I gotta do something but I think right now

I'm just planning on just letting the Lord letting the Lord figure it out hey protect him right so anyway that's a fun interaction it's just an interesting thing that like you know i think as we're getting older we're gonna we're gonna hear that more and more a decision yeah a conversation yeah and then a procedure like just one of those things that we don't think about ever when we're in our 20s now all of a sudden it's like okay we're hearing more and more people have to do this yeah yeah like who'd you go to dr gupta like anyway yes sadiq's uncle sadiq yeah sadiq sadiq can do it his uncle can do it for a little bit cheaper

uh yeah you have to be on the right insurance plan both good though yeah both both top of their class at uh brown university so that's fun yeah uh brad i have a game for you to play and i have a game for the ghosties to play which would you like to do first oh they're two different ones two different games um let's have um i play first okay i've always said game for us basically uh forgot about this but hayley and laura in milwaukee a couple weeks ago gave me this piece of paper after the show and they said we thought this would be a fun game for you and brad to play on the podcast no pressure and i said oh we'll play it this is a fun thing for ghosties to do yeah hand jake pieces of paper for him to read on the podcast they are actual

And you're going to do it really quick. And then you're going to then tell us the right ones right after.

So Jake's going to read them all really fast, how he thinks they're pronounced. And then you're going to leave us a voice memo of the right answers. Okay. Ready? Ready? Sheboygan. Manitowoc. Wausau.

Kokona. Ashwa... Ashwaubenon. Waukesha. Okonomowoc. That's amazing how much that sounds. No, I figured it out. Okay. Okay. Okonomawak. Okonomawak. Our video editor, figured it out. Okay. Okay. Okonanma'a. Okonanma'a.

Our video editor, Justin Orm. Justin. Where's Justin from? Close to Minnesota. Minnesota. But what state? I don't know. Oh, he's from Wisconsin.

Wisconsin. Yeah. And where did Justin's dad live before Wisconsin? I have no idea. Oh, Hawaii. Hawaii. Hawaii, yes. And what do all these words sound like? Dude, this is an impressive Are they like, are they, uh, they have like an underground railroad

thing happening? I don't, I guess if that's the route we're going to take on this or like they, they go back and forth a lot from one to the other. There's like a tram system. Yeah. I think, I think we just figured out why these words are the way they are. That is a good recall there. Who knows? I didn't know where you're going with that. I was like, I don't know what city he lives in. No, I see what you're saying his dad used to yeah they've been back and forth hawaii wisconsin wow that's crazy crack the code okay well that was fun i didn't think it'd become mad gab but there we are all right okay a game for you and the ghosties now is uh i had this idea last night so uh, uh, Alan, Oh, this is not from them. This is,

this is Jake from me. Great. Starting this game. Uh, he's been introducing me when I come on stage every night, you know? So he just says, welcome next comedian on the stage, Jake triplet.

And I was giving him a hard time. I was like, I'm surprised. Oh, so yesterday playing golf, I made my first ever Eagle and Alex has been hyping me up all day. Even like after the tee shot, he's like,

dude, you're going to have an Eagle in this hole. I was like, Oh, for sure. I mean, with the quality of golfer I am yeah i always expect an eagle right after i was just being super sarcastic because we've talked about this before like you were like you

trash talk and then it ends up coming true and you're like okay so i didn't mean it to sound like that i didn't think i would actually make that shot anyway but um i was like i'm surprised you didn't call me up on stage i mentioned the eagle today like he shot an eagle earlier today give it up for whatever and so my new challenge i want to see in the youtube comments five star reviews and also brad maybe you're live give me actual accolades like fake accolades oh fake to say and i want to actually use them like i'm ready to spice it i think it'd be fun for me fun for alan for people in the crowd okay i think you can't say very much. I think we just need two bits of information. Here's an example for you.

Please welcome to the stage or your next comedian. He's a Scorpio and a terrible dancer. Jake triplet. Okay. Okay. So a couple of just like quick things like that, or maybe just one thing that takes up. It's like, that's the cadence though.

You can't take too long. Can you say like, he knows every word to gangnam style jake triplet and then you walk out like this yeah that's so funny he knows every word to gangnam style give it up for jake triplet that's perfect. I mean, that's hilarious. That's a perfect example right there.

Either one like full sentence of information or like two quick things. Right. He's never tried blank. And he doesn't use toothpaste. Right. Give it up. Wait, what? Hold on.

Oh, okay. Yeah. His favorite movie is, you know, in some like super random movie. Legally Blonde? Yeah. All of his teeth are fake. Give it up for Jake. He's never addressed the teeth thing.

Yeah. Um, but also put yourself in my shoes. Like nothing to like deprecate. It's going to be distracting. Like, right. It has to be. His arms are prosthetic. Yeah.

Like everyone's just gonna be like, are they? It has to, it has to be like, it has to be an obvious joke. Yes. I mean, it's kind of funny. Yeah um that's pretty funny uh his mom dropped him off here something like that right he drives a minivan and he doesn't even have kids give it up for jake triplet that's hilarious you're great at this he drives a minivan he doesn't have children we're all worried about him give it up right he hasn't had a haircut since third grade jake and then you walk out with like perfectly manicured hair and they're like whoa what's

going on with this guy how did that happen yeah what's this guy doing next comedian of the stage he's not allowed at outback steakhouse give it up for jake triplet yeah what's the story there yeah he's he's been banned from 13 of the 14 you know fill in the blank chucky cheese is in the united states in the tri-state area right he has yeah he has the record for uh nfl blitz arcade edition whatever i don't know he thinks sacagawea is pronounced chicago yes yes some pronunciation he thinks justin b Justin Bieber is the king of our generation. Just say actual things. Yeah.

He doesn't know PayPal has an app. He hasn't, he's only been able to swallow pills for the last two years. Yeah. You don't need to make anything up. Just say things that are wrong about me. Yeah. He didn't have, he didn't have any poop on his toilet paper this week.

And like, I would just go on for forever. I think, I think maybe I'm, I'm not going to do this, but I think it'd be funny if I did tonight. I just give Alan a list of things and he just doesn't just choose one of them,

but like, I'm not going to tell Jake like what they are. And like, so that way you just read them and I would love it. Yeah. I would love it. Like, yeah,

you're in Boston or whatever, you know, about to go on and he loves the Yankees. Give it it. Yeah. I would love it. Like, yeah, you're in Boston or whatever, you know, about to go on and he loves the Yankees. Give it up. Yeah. Right. I give you way more permission to do that than I do to sit the front row and make any sort of obscene gestures at me, which I would never do. No. And I wouldn't recommend anybody doing. Yeah. Anyway, that's the game. So I'm sure you guys have fun with that as well, but that was already great. That was a fun little session there. Okay. And that's, that's the game so i'm sure you guys have fun with that um as well but that was already great that was a fun little session there okay and that's that's a fun thing like i like giving people any excuse to comment or leave a five-star review give you something a little creative to do yeah just like a yeah i wish the podcast i listened to had stuff like that so it's

like oh that'd be fun yeah there's no like opportunity for like i don't know the podcast was seeking feedback so yeah it's like a message board here so yeah post it guys go crazy all right um that's all i have this week vasectomy fell off a pony and went to larry's this is funny too i just got a text from a tour manager tom everyone down for gates tonight for dinner i'm working on a spot for lucas as well i don't think you need to call him out like that. See, that's what I'm saying. Like if he goes to Gates,

what's he going to have, French fries? That's it. Tell him Cafe Gratitude for Lucas. Genuinely. That's a good spot. Him and Katie were talking about Cafe Gratitude. I never heard of it. It's so LA.

Because it's like, it's called Cafe Gratitude. That's actually what I told. This is, you're basically me at this point. Yeah. Katie was asking, or Lucas was asking us like, what are some good coffee shops, good places to go? And Katie's like, Cafe Gratitude.

Jake, have you heard of that? I was like, Lucas, the fact that I the fact that I haven't heard of it shows that you're going to love it. How sweet is Katie, though, to think that maybe you know Cafe Gratitude. Yeah. But seriously, I was like, the fact that I haven't heard of it, like you would love it. You should go there. Yeah.

There's no way I would have heard of it if I didn't have a wife. Do you know about the store? It's so LA. I can't believe they have it here. I just know it's like the menu items are like emotions and they make you order. So you say like, instead of like, I'll have the humbled, you have to say, I am humbled. No way. And they get talking at loose and Katie gets like, oh, I am humbled.

I love, I am humbled. Like you ever have, I am, I am satisfied or something like that. that wait so is it an la thing that's in here like is it multiple different locations oh it just sounds like the vibe sounds like so los angeles no totally but like so lucas has had it though is what i'm saying yeah i think he was shocked no no it's in it has multiple locations he was shocked that kansas city has it yeah and now that i'm hearing of it i'm shocked we have it too but i am humbled oh that's a good choice yeah it's very like it's in like it's like right down the street from never mind where somebody lives uh yeah so let's go ahead and just yeah tell yeah tell everybody no just kidding uh yeah but one last note i meant to say this a couple weeks ago remember like uh this was like back in january

so 10 months ago get a voice memo it's like jake i heard you talking that you wanted to marry a nutritionist and you're also looking for a jasmine yes i am a nutritionist and i'm lebanese yes i met her oh she was at the show in reading she comes up to me and i was like jasmine i didn't know that it's like she like had to introduce herself and i was like you're jasmine yeah and uh yeah it was awesome uh who would have thought just need to follow up there 10 months later met her in real life and she's at the show in reading her name start with a j or an m uh julene julene good memory pretty close to jasmine yeah it really is yeah um it kind of looks the part too got to give it to

And it was her birthday this past week. So I just want to give you a shout out, Ellie. So shout out to you and go ahead.

OK, I'd like to give a shout out to Wrinkle Releaser. Yep. Oh, that's awesome. That's the perfect follow up to Ellie. I love I've been getting down on Wrinkle Releaser lately. It works so good. I can't figure it out. Yeah, I don't know how they do it.

Don't look into it. No, I'm just kidding. Don't adjust it. so good i can't figure it out yeah i don't know how they do it don't look into it no i'm just kidding don't adjust it yeah i uh i just like it it's work it's getting the job done are you getting a lot of rinks well it's tough just uh the schedule lately it's tough to like be home when my clothes are out of the dryer i'm having to like just throw it in overnight i gotta come back in the morning get a lot of rinks a lot of rink no problem hang them up sure rink squared them that how it works i I don't even know. I've never used it. You just spray it on. I could see why dads love the grill. No, no.

You just like hang them up. Just spray it on. Get them a little damp. And then you come back and they're great. Cool. It works really well. What does that have to do with the grill? Oh, I could see how as a dad, you start loving spraying things.

Like when you spray the grill. Like my dad was always spraying the grill. Okay. Your water and flowers. Like there's something in me as a man, as an adult i'm like i like spraying things i like spraying things on my clothes i want to spray a grill i want to see fire shoot up when i spray stuff yes i don't know what it like yeah earlier this summer i had to water the flowers when katherine was gone and i weirdly enjoyed it it's fun to spray yeah and i like spraying yeah you can spray paint yeah finish

yep you ever sprayed uh like a shower no, like a water hose with a little thing on it at a dog's mouth. That's fun. Oh really? They go crazy. Oh fun. Yeah. Someday Christmas maybe. Um, okay. And then shout out number two is, and this was kind of like, I think I talked to you about this already, but like, it's kind of getting to be serious feeling for me. The shout out to people who don't treat Halloween like a satanic holiday. I can't, I can't stand all these people. We're like going on walks in our neighborhood and we have to like shield our kids from like certain houses because they're like out of a haunted house or something. It's like, it's like that is, that's like beyond just like kind of, you know, like kind of like Halloween scary. That's like disturbingly like nasty,

a little far, a little far. Yeah. To, to show there publicly, like I'm great, like celebrating Halloween. I trick or treat it all growing up, but like, man, I can't stand it. It's, it's getting like more and more, it feels like, and there's, there, there I'll just judge you right now and just say, there's no way that you just have like a normal, like deep down in yourself. Like, you know what I mean? Like, there's no way that's just like, yeah, I just love Halloween and love like these terrifying, really creepy looking gremlins. But like the rest of my life is like very solid and great. Like, nope, there's something else going on down deep. I think I have two theories or one observation, one theory observation is it's interesting that for christmas almost everyone decorates the inside but halloween is a like holiday where we decorate the outside

like does anyone have a ton of like indoor halloween decorations no you stick right like your porch your tree or sorry i'm sure your door that's what i'm gonna say like we always decorated for halloween but it was always like fall decorations. It wasn't like specifically Halloween. Fun new wreath. Right. Right. Yeah. Not like a goblin hanging from the tree in your yard or something.

No, never. And it just like, it's like, okay, let's go this way now because we can't go by those neighbors because they're terrifying. The scarecrow's been severed the rest of his body. It's crazy. It's like, yeah, it's like one thing if you're going to hang up a little ghost or something from your tree it's like oh but yeah it's it's it's getting to a whole different level i feel like lately and so i have a shout out to people who aren't like that aren't doing it who just put boo up in there you know yeah a little steak it says boo nice that scares

me enough already that's still scary but i don't know what's there yeah i just have another shout out i'd like to give a shout out to xbox oh yeah um shout out to xbox the original well just the series for being as confusing as possible oh why this dawned on me recently playstation we have the playstation yes then they came out with the playstation 2 about four or five years later wait before they came out playstation 2 they came out with ps1. Do you remember that? Oh, yeah, it was slightly different analog sticks And it had yeah, I was like a little bit smaller and everything. Yeah, so that's kind of sorry ps1 Did we a ps2? Mm-hmm? Then we have ps3. Okay, I'm following then there was ps4. Okay, and then recently they came out ps5 Recently after ps4 was ps5. Okay, and I assume PS6 will be, will come next. Xbox is,

just shout out to them for, I mean, just, just throwing a dart at the board for like what number, what name, what's next? That is true.

Got the Xbox. Then obviously next, Xbox 2? No, 360. 360. Okay. Third iteration of that,

Xbox One. Yeah. Let's call it the Xbox One. And then, I don't know, what did they call it now? It's something else. Xbox.

You're asking me me Xbox Millennium. It's probably something like that where it's like this is just we're going back to a big number. Yeah. Hey, Isaac, what's the newest Xbox called? What? The newest Xbox. Oh, I just found it.

Infinity. Xbox. Series X. Series X. See, that's just as confused. So it's like a Roman numeral 10 or it's just it's not dang dude next up in the series shout out to them for just making it as confusing as possible okay so so it's making me give like xbox is giving me some android vibes with this like very hard to follow what is newest like oh that's samsung galaxy s you know like they're not

just proud enough in the product that they can just like name it like very simple. They have to like Xbox Series X. Like, come on, Pixel. This is the X Series. Yeah. Samsung S Series. All right. Anyway, that's enough shots. That's enough normal stuff.

Let's go to some voice memos. We're very behind on them and there've been a lot of them. So let's get after it. What's up, Jake and Brad? My name is Nathan and I'm a junior at the University of Nebraska. I actually just met Jake a couple hours ago after the Lincoln'm a junior at the University of Nebraska. I actually just met Jake a couple hours ago after the Lincoln show, which was a ton of fun. I really didn't think I was going to make it because the show was all sold out and I didn't have a ticket, but I figured I

should at least do what you guys always talk about and just ask and see what happens. So I showed up at the theater and sure enough, there were seats available in the back. Shout out to Renee for hooking me up. Anyway, I don't have a question for you guys, but I did want to say thank you for the podcast. You guys inspire me to see the fun and the humor in everyday life and to build better relationships with the people around me. I really, really appreciate that. If there are any Lincoln ghosties listening, we should definitely meet up and, uh, get some sort of like local side of tase going or something. I think that could be a lot of fun. Link up. Anyway, I'll talk to you guys later. Bye-bye. That's awesome. Yeah. It's kind of cool to get a voicemail from a guy who literally met last night. He was awesome. I

remember him. He was there by himself. Good handshake, tall guy. Okay. Six, five. Uh, not quite, but I could set him up with those girls if you like nathan uh no it's really fun i love that he just showed up it's like you have a ticket like he's in the 1920s i'd like a next train to chicago you say i want to say the pictures i see a movie tonight well this is like a maybe a hack or not a hack but like from what i understand is sometimes your sold out shows actually still have single tickets available. Good call. You mark them as sold out.

So because people, if they don't get sold, get marked as sold out, people will go trying to, you know, get two tickets together or something. Yeah. Always check.

So if you're by yourself wanting to go to the show, you probably find, or if you're just like, I don't want to sit with my wife's friend, like go together and then sit in two different spots. So perfect. Thank you, Nathan.

And I can tell you from last night, there are a ton of ghosties in the area more than most cities so have fun get some saturdays going oh sorry what is up brad and jake hope you guys are having a not much what's up with you so far uh just wanted to say that i love your guys's podcast uh i listen to it a lot while doing schoolwork, and it really just lightens the mood. Just wanted to say that I am actually in Topeka. I go to Washburn University. Go Ikebods. I love to golf, and I would love to treat you guys to a round of golf sometime if you'd be up for that.

Treat us. Feel free to shoot me a message if we can get that down. Appreciate it, guys. Have a good one. There's nothing I love more than letting a college kid treat me to golf. It was expensive sport in the world. I would love to do that. That is very nice of you, Jonah. Um, also go Ichabod's. It's gotta be one of the better college mascots that I know of. Have you seen the picture of him? Yeah. It looks so old and outdated and they need something. I think that's what it is. Like this old fashioned

guy. I think, I think it's, it's, his name is ichabod something like that's like literally him so you can't update it oh or i guess it's a first name picture or something yeah huh i think so that's too bad wrong but topeka fun city never sleeps topeka is awesome did you guys go on field trips to the capital in Kansas? No, not. I don't think we ever went to the Capitol as a field trip, but my friend and I would go every year and be a page at the House of Representatives there. Have you heard about that? Do you know what that is?

I do not know. It's essentially like you're like these students that are like assistants and you just like get to like take messages all around the Capitol building. Oh, that's kind of cool. Politicians and stuff. It was awesome. Like, so one day a year we do it, we like get all dressed up. We take our picture with the governor and we get to like go and like watch, you know,

the house in session or whatever. Wait, so they don't email each other. They have children pass along notes to each other. They probably, I don't know what it would be like nowadays. Uh, and I don't know, I don't remember what, like sometimes it was files. I don't know if it was always notes or whatever. But yeah, it would be like you need to go to this room or this, you know, whatever. Dude, there is a conspiracy. There's a scandalous story waiting to happen. Maybe you don't want it to show up on the email. You give this eight year old some really sketchy Watergate type stuff.

Right. No paper trail. Right. There's literally paper, but the kid doesn't know. Yeah, exactly. And then they juicy. Now that you said that, like I was never allowed to open up anything no i'm just kidding um and here's a fun fact about the capital building is that it's just absolutely terrifying to go to the top that's not a fact that's an

opinion but uh like it's like a dome at the top it's like and you should just somebody google it like kansas capital dome tour or something like that. But like, it's like this huge suspended stairwell or stairway. Ooh. Like in, like if, if you fall off of it, you die. Okay.

And I'm, you know, and it's not super tall, you know, on the sides or anything. It sounds kind of sketch. And yeah, you go,

it's like super suspended and then it's like twirly all the way to the top. But I did it. I did it. I don't know if I would do it again, honestly, but it was scary. Hmm. Yeah.

Did you ever go to the Capitol? I don't think I've ever heard of anybody going to Jefferson City in my entire life. Really? That was a thing in Missouri. Yeah. Fourth grade. Everyone goes to the Capitol. I don't even know where it is in Missouri.

Is it in the middle of Missouri? It's in the middle. It's kind of by Columbia. Okay. But Jefferson City does not have a lot going for it. Yeah. You're just Topeka. It's weird.

It's like Carson City. How is that a Capitol? Yeah. We need an updated Capitals. That'd be fun. I think a new, like a restart or software update on capitals like a redraft redraft yeah yeah there's several what would some other good candidates be um I mean Salem Salem's lame you really think Salem is doing it for for them or uh Augusta Augusta come on I mean get the yeah go to Portland Portland needs to be two different capitals.

Yeah. Yeah. Mobile. I like Mobile. You like Mobile? I like Mobile. Really? I'll stick with Mobile.

Actually, isn't Montgomery the capital? Wait, yeah, you're totally right. You would like it. I would like to be Mobile. What's, oh, Baton Rouge. That's weird. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Is that weird that that's weird right yeah yeah is that weird that's not yeah yeah it's weird capital um yeah those are the best ones it's weird that tulsa's the capital that

one just keep doing this wait yeah no but actually albany that one actually is weird though yeah it is it is where would you put it in New York though? That's too big. Staten Island specifically. Okay. Just like the scum of New York that nobody likes. Right. Okay. Anyway, redraft coming soon.

That's a fun thought though. Yeah. We'll redraft and put it on Patreon. We'll let you guys know. Next one. I'm excited. This one says from Grant Holmes. How exciting.

They're clean. Maybe. Jake, Brad, it's your favorite clean handed five-star recruit from Texas, Grant Holmes. So true. Just had one thing that I need from you guys. I had bought some tickets to the Trey Kennedy tour featuring the one and only Jake Triplett in Dallas, Texas, coming up in November on a Friday and was going to surprise my wife with them, do a little date night, but I never told her to schedule plans for that night. So she actually just let me know that some of our friends also invited us to a weekend at the ranch house that same weekend.

So I'm trying to figure out how to convince her that we need to go and see Jake Triplett as well as Trey Kennedy. So give me some things that I can say to her. I'd really appreciate it and look forward to seeing my boy Jake in November in Dallas, Texas. Let's go. Thanks, Grant. I think this is a no-brainer. What? You let your wife go to the ranch house to take your wife's friend.

Oh, my gosh. I didn't even think about that because I'm a good guy. He doesn't think that way. Wait. So from what do you understand about this scenario? Does the wife still not know? Wife still does not know. Okay.

So he's, he's trying to like convince her without like, like, no, I don't know if a ranch would be that fun. Okay. We should just go to dinner. Yeah. The practical side of me is just like, I have a surprise for you. I don't want to tell you exactly what it is, but I spent money on it. So I think we should go. That's what I would do. That's an easy way out. That's the real answer.

The fake answer. So how far away do you think this ranch is? Let's just guess it's two hours. Hour and a half. Hour and a half. Good for you. I think you go to the ranch. Oh, you're performing on Friday night. So you go to the ranch. Oh, you're, you're performing on Friday night. So you go to the ranch Friday afternoon, early afternoon, and you say, what do you think his wife's name is? You know, Grant actually texted me last week that he has Friday off. He was wanting to hang out. This is gonna work out perfect.

Keep going. His wife's name is Claire, Claire, Claire, Claire, Claire, Claire, Claire, Claire, Claire. Um, we're going to go wild boar hunting. Your favorite. If you kill more boars than me, we stay at the lodge. Claire, Claire, Claire. We're going to go wild boar hunting. Your favorite. If you kill more boars than me, we stay at the lodge. If not, we're going to do the surprise. I got something in mind for you.

Yeah. And I promise it has nothing to do with boars. She might throw the competition. Like, oh, this is so boring. No, it's not. No, and it's not. It's not boarish or boring. Nope. It's a different thing.

So yeah, just make it a competition. Yeah. Everything's a competition. You know you can win. Yeah. Keep score. Yes. Keep score and redeem. Conditional a different thing. So yeah, just make it a competition. Yeah. Everything's a competition. That you know you can win. Yeah. Keep score. Yes. Keep score and redeem.

Conditional love is key. Yeah. Okay. It's not a choice. Nope. All right. You have to. That's right.

So feel free to use any of those. Also, I just got to say, it's kind of interesting to like hear someone's voice who I spent four years of my life side by side with basically, you know, every sport. And then just like, haven't talked to him really in 10 years. Like that's Grant's voice. It's still the same. I haven't seen him in a while. Can't wait to see him.

Yeah. Isn't that interesting? Like, like, is my voice going to sound the exact same when I'm 65 years old? It probably won't be that different. That's weird. You look at like Jerry Seinfeld or like, I know other actors who've been around for a long time. It's like, yeah, they've always kind of sounded the same. That's true.

Holy cow. I always just assume my voice is going to get cooler when I was older. Well, you have a 20 year old son, so that might've thrown things off. Dang it. With the puberty. You know, yeah. Just life is getting in the way. Early, early bloomer.

I'm actually excited about this name. I see too. Joel trainer. What do you got for us? Heck yeah. Hey, hello boys. This is your man. Two greetings. trainer. What do you got for us? Hey, hello, boys. This is your man, JT from Columbus, Ohio.

Longtime listener. Third time question asker. Yeah, baby. Brad, you inspired me. I went to a stand up comedy bar last night for my 35th birthday. Five minute bit. Very nervous. It went not so good. Not so good. But I'm inspired to try it again. Good. But before I do that, Jake, I'm coming to your show. There you go. When you come to Columbus here in a couple of weeks, I'm going to be in the front row. Middle East. I'm feverishly taking notes. Not the front row, actually. I'm not that rich. So I have

tickets in the back, but I'll be there. I guess my only question is, Jake, do you want to employ the bomb techs when you come to Columbus? I'll get us a tea time. Let me know. Thanks. Love your podcast. Bye. I like employ the bomb techs. I would like to employ the bomb techs, but I would like a college kid to pay for it.

Can we get that? Can we get... It's Columbus, of course. Yeah. Jonah, one of Jonah's friends. Yeah. Ichabod friend. I love the adverb feverishly. i don't know why that cracked me up it's like you're

writing down so much that you have a fever now oh just got a vasectomy so i have this fever i don't know uh does joel trader kind of remind you harrison oh maybe they have dark hair i think they look kind of similar and they talk kind of similar. And I like both those guys. I like them a lot. Yeah. So that's too bad. Like Joel is such a funny guy. And I think that shows you not necessarily how hard standup is, but how hard open mics are and how just devastatingly like, I don't know, confidence lowering they can be.

Joel's hilarious. I have more respect. I don't care if you're funny, if you're, I don't know, like I have more respect for somebody who does an open mic night than, or I will have more respect for you if you do an open mic night, period. Yeah. Like, I don't care if you're Elon Musk. I don't care if you are like, I don't care if you're super rich, super poor, super funny,

like super intelligent. Just getting on stage and doing it. Or just a normal person. Yeah. It just takes a different kind of, yeah. Like courage to go up there. Like as an adult, like I'm going to put myself out there. I don't really put myself out there very often.

No, you don't have to do those things anymore. And then all of a sudden, yeah, you have to. So, uh, good for you, Joel. And I like that you're determined to figure it out. But yeah, take it from us. Open mics are not ideal. It's not a fun environment most of the time. Yeah.

But I mean, maybe just try open with a song. You know, I've seen it work for this guy, this local comedian. he does jock jams every now and then it's fun it kills every time bring some energy into the room just just yeah change it up change it up everyone else is doing like these like little misdirection you know jokes to start off not you baby gongnam style you're going straight up g style what if i maybe maybe it's just a different song every time. You just always open with a song. I'll just go. People just like,

who is this weirdo? What's this guy doing? This guy is crazy. But yes, Joel would love to play golf. Although, I think we're coming to Ohio. Like,

it's got to be pretty cold. So, Ohio's a warm climate. That's right. Middle East. Never mind. Yeah, I'd love to play golf with you.

Actually, though, like, no brainer. Let's do it. Next one from Carter. Hey, what's up, Jake and Brad?

It's Carter from Kent, Ohio. And I was in the shower a little bit ago and I was thinking, I've never really met anyone named Siri or Alexa or, I guess, Google. And I was thinking, it's kind of convenient because those would be really bad names to have. But no one would know not to name their child that at that time because Siri and Alexa and Google as voice assistants probably would not have been a thing.

That's a good shower thought. And I was thinking, what would be some other names that would be really inconvenient to be named? Yeah, anyway, love the podcast. Thanks, guys. Bye. Thank you. Karen, LeBron, Elsa. We actually know somebody named Elsa Jane. Yeah.

And she was named that before Frozen. And now everyone's going to just think of Frozen, which is not the worst thing. Maybe in college she's like adopted a new name. Maybe it's EJ now, you know, maybe just Jane. EJ. Yeah. Elsa Jane for those things. Let us know.

Yeah. Adolf would suck. Yeah. I knew a kid. He was a. No, you did. No, I did. I promise.

His name wasn't Adolf. His name was Adolfo. He was a... No, you didn't. No, I did. I promise. His name wasn't Adolf. His name was Adolfo. He was... It was the... Like Latin for dolphin. It was like... Yeah. It was like the four-year-old, like, of...

It was like the grandson of my house host mom or whatever in Spain. Adolfo. Adolfo. Yeah. It looked like Adolf with an O on the end. Wow. So that one would be kind of a downer name to have. That's Adolfo.

Adolfo. Yeah. um names to not have yeah it's good with anything like share yeah yeah just well but i'm trying to think of ones that have like become popular like let's say this person's 18 years old like elsa jane is like or how no she's not she's 21 now golly we're getting old um um bin laden imagine if you accidentally name your kid bin laden yeah and you for you don't realize like oh i can't take this back saddam well like no no his first name is ben his middle name is laden like because you're like you felt heavy laden for the heavy laden but everyone's just gonna read it been been been laden dang it we didn't know enough away. Yeah.

I knew he was around back then. I wasn't involved in foreign affairs. I didn't know. Yeah. He was in caves. Um, I just think of, yeah.

Any kind of like athletes that have like LeBron genuinely, like there's kids out there probably named LeBron that are, you know, 14 years old that didn't know who LeBron was. What about Giannis? Yeah. That makes it, those are some names.

It's only some Milwaukee families naming their kids. Giannis probably. Probably. Yeah. I feel like don't don't. Oculus. I have an opinion about that. Don't name your kid after a sports figure.

Name your dog after a sports figure. Do you agree? Oh, sure. Yeah. I'm not going to name my kid Mahomes. No. Yeah. Yeah.

Or even Patrick. But I would name my kid Hosmer. Your dog. That's what I meant. No, I think it's a great strategy. Yeah, yeah. Or even Patrick. But I would name my kid Hosmer. Your dog. That's what I meant. No, I think it's a great strategy. Yeah. Yeah, not after another human. Right.

I think. Especially a human you've never even met. Yeah, I was going to say, unless they're like friends with them somehow. That reminds me. Third shout out. I got an email from a girl, Abigail. She does some graphic design work from us. She emailed me about some stuff she

worked on. And last week she emailed me like, sorry, these images are late. I'm about to have a kid. I was like, oh, take your time. No worries. With the kid. Praying for, yeah. Go ahead and push out. Yeah. These are the content I asked for, but take your time with the kid. I was like, hope it all goes well. Literally no rush at all. Anything. She gets back to me like, here's some stuff you asked for. He actually came the day you emailed me. Here's a picture of him. Meet Bradley Jacob Gabrus. No way.

And I said, no, that's how my mouth went agape. And I was like, no way. And like, I was scrolling past the picture. I'm like, wow, that is actually a really cute newborn. Good for you, Abigail. Scroll down. Just kidding. But honestly, it has a good ring to it this is jude but she fully got me i was in the chick-fil-a drive-thru mouth

wide open like no way she didn't she didn't even tell us she's my bradley jacob just like that i believed i just scrolled down for you for naming him bradley jacob not jacob bradley because yeah you know ghostwars podcast every monday morning with brad and jake you know just sounds better yeah um that's that so she got me good good. Every time someone like, it's like, yeah, we don't know what we're going to name them yet. I always jokingly. I'm like, Bradley, Bradley's a good, strong name, you know, but I think that might actually hurt my cause when I, when I recommend it, don't bring it up, let them come up with it. Gunner has a kid named after him, which is awesome. Yeah. That's just like the biggest compliment ever. Yeah. That's

actually pretty cool. Yeah. But I bet they've met met gunner i bet they haven't just watched gunner on tv also true one of my cousins named their daughter ellis which is really cool named after um brad ellis the comedian yeah yeah yeah right the other guy uh thank you carter though that's a fun question uh all right next from bailey hey jake and brad my name is bailey oh all right uh thank you bailey the the title of this voicemail says getting my father-in-law to like me oh that sounds like a good one so we can imagine what he said he's having some trouble he needs our help all he said is hey it's bailey and then it cut out but uh thankfully he put a title on it bailey buford here's my strategy and i and multiple of my brother-in-laws listen to this so

i can just absolutely just tell them right now i identify the flaws in my brother-in-laws and just lean into those and like try to be as good as i can at those things and so my father-in-law then sees like this is the guy i've been waiting for my entire life this is what i've wanted my sons are disappointments but this guy I can finally be proud of. I always wanted a son kind of startled of deer. Right. I don't want sons who just go right up to him. That's the thing.

My brother-in-law's not scared of deer at all. So I don't worry about those. Yeah, yeah. That's not your quality. My brother-in-law's never had a podcast. Never once. This is getting his attention. Now he respects you.

Now he loves me. Now he's like like i understand why my daughter chose this guy i get it now yep i get it uh and i like him that's a great strategy the i don't have many father-in-laws in my life so i don't really know i would say um name recalling uh positive reinforcement and never breaking off a handshake there's three quick things i would do but i don't know like i said never had a father-in-law that's very f-i-l yeah phil start calling him phil could be fun yeah or just dad i think i think that helps i think that really helps is when you call your different versions of dad dada daddy daddy papa what's up pops pappy daddy

boy yeah anything like that okay grandp Yep. And he's not even a grandpa. No, not yet. And he says, oh my gosh, you're expecting like, I mean, eventually I haven't snip snapped yet. I mean, your whole life you're taught to protect it, protect it, protect it. So yeah. Call him dad. Call him dad. Okay. Next one. Hey, Jake and Brad. My name is Jess. I'm from Kalamazoo, Michigan. I've been listening to your podcast for a couple of months now. I found it on my way to Topeka, Kansas, actually, which is where my brother and sister go to school at Washburn University.

Go Bonds! We're all big Chiefs fans, by the way. It's got to be the same family, right? Dad grew up in Kansas, so he grew up being big fans of the Chiefs. Oh, yes. Same last name. Also a big fan of the Lions, which is kind of a bummer at times, but it's all good. At times. My question for you guys is, was there a moment or a series of moments in your life that helped you to know that, um,

you're, you were going to do what you're doing now, if that makes sense. Um, like, did you ever just know, like, yes,

this is what I'm going to do. Basically. That's a fun question. It's a good question. Love the podcast. Keep it up. Thanks guys. That was great.

Her, her brother is benevolent with his money, pays for our golf and she has good questions. What a combo. I liked them. I don't know if they're siblings, but you know, same last name, same city. Go bods. Go bods. Uh, do you have an answer? Yeah. Oh yeah. Okay. I got multiple answers. Yeah. Um, I guess, I guess two different, like very, are you thinking like specific instances in your head? Yeah. Like a moment where I was like, this is pretty cool. I might be onto something here. Yeah. Okay. So these are like somewhat small things. Um, the first one, like if you want to talk about business, the business side of my life,

I knew I wanted to do business stuff in fifth grade. We did something called mini society. Oh, this is cool already. And yeah, we all got to choose like any kind of businesses we wanted to like run. And I made these these lizard looking things out of beads, like all these different beads and string and stuff and whatever. I sold them and had a successful enough... I made enough money from my sales there to then basically I tried to buy out another classroom's chairs and seats. I tried to be like, can I, can I buy all those chairs and seats, like acquisitions and desks and make them, make them like pay me every single day that they use them? No, you like lease out the chairs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I had like, I had the print, I had

to go like, this is not like to the principal's office, like in a bad way, but like I had to like go get permission, like the principal, the teachers were like, I don't know, we've never done this before. This is amazing. We've never had somebody do this well. You know? And I was like, it was Scott's class. I think it was Mrs. Chase Scott. Suck it, Scott. Yeah. I was like, I want, I want Scott's seat. I want that kid to stand or to sit down in my chair. They didn't end up letting me do it, but that's amazing. But ever since then, I just had like a business. I think I was business minded and I really enjoyed that. That's really cool. Yeah. It was really, really fun. Like I think a lot of people do something similar in, in, uh, elementary school, but like, yeah, I was, yeah, it was like this mini society,

this mini town of like, yeah, different stuff. And then I also went to this thing called camp enterprise one time. Okay. Uh, and this is kind of the musical side of my life, I guess, or one of them. Um, we did a, there was a talent show at the end and I was like, I'm not going to do a talent show, but they told me to bring my guitar or bring, bring your guitar if you want to or whatever. So my mom told me, and so I brought my guitar and I was like, yeah, like then I heard like, you got a hundred dollars if you won this talent show. I could buy so many chairs. I was like, Holy cow. Yeah. And I was like high school at this point. And I was like a hundred bucks is a lot of money in high school. And so when the police officer

pulled you over, do you have a substantial amount of money on you? I mean, I was in a talent show for a hundred dollars. So I wrote a song, I wrote a song in like 20 minutes and saying it like at this talent show and won the talent show. And then like went to like the Marriott downtown and like played, you know, for like this huge organization with all these businessmen and stuff. And that was really fun and like musical. And I was like, I really enjoyed performing that in front of people. So that's sweet. Yeah. That's my musical, I guess one. And then my third one, like the comedy side of things, I've always kind of been funny. I was voted fun fact. I was voted. I was one of like three or four people voted most likely to be on

SNL. Oh, that's great. Yeah. From the school yearbook. That's a big school too. So good for you. Thank you. Scott was a lot more. So yeah. Yeah. And Scott's funnier than I am. So, um, yeah. And then, so I was, and then in college there was one time where we were supposed to do a presentation. It was like my freshman year. So it was like this uncomfortable, you know, whatever. It didn't really know how to show off who I was yet or whatever. But then there was this like time where I was like, I can do an impression of the teacher. And the teacher was like kind of a, kind of like an energetic, like really likable guy anyway. And he had a very, he had kind of an, like a distinct voice like this. And so like, you know, I had done a few impersonations of them, like throughout this presentation, people were laughing. And then I get up there like, and it's a big class,

like one of like these big lecture hall things. And I get up there and I just stand there for like five seconds in silence and just kind of nod my head like, like he kind of does. And then I just go, yeah. And everyone just like erupted. Like everyone's amazing. And I remember like, as I walked home, as I walked back to my dorm that day, like tech or tweeting, like I just made a whole room laugh and I really enjoyed that or something like that. That's awesome. And so ever since then, I think I had the confidence or like realizing like, okay,

I have an ability to make people laugh, even if, even if people don't know who I am, like, you know, like, yeah, this woman was like crying, laughing in the front row and like, just impersonating the teacher literally from one word, you know, I didn't even like, I didn't, it wasn't like I was like saying tons of stuff. So that's awesome. So yeah, those are the three like really quick moments in my head of like mini society. Yeah. Um, yeah, this camp enterprise thing. And yeah, dude, that's awesome. Yeah. Those are all really good answers. I'm impressed you can remember that many. I think my parents would be really good at answering this. They would probably remember better than I could, or just a better, that'd be a fun thing to ask our parents sometime.

Yeah. And get their answers from, um, yeah, I'm not good at remembering stuff like that. One story that came to mind immediately though, one, I think I've already told her the podcast, maybe so sorry, but two, it's kind of a combination of your stories two and three, but it wasn't when I was that young. It was, I was like a sophomore or junior in college and at SBU we don't have fraternities or sororities, but you're at the dorm you live in. It's very important. So it's homecoming week. So the dorms are all competing and it gets each other. There's a sand volleyball tournament There's mud tug-of-war. There's like your float building. There's like, you know, all this different stuff you're competing in It's a really big deal. It's a small school a lot of camaraderie

yeah tougher to spell but fun thing to have with your friends absolutely and One of the competitions is like the skit. Every dorm gets three minutes during chapel, fun chapel, spirit chapel is what it's called. So you don't have to go to chapel. It's just a performance. It's all day. You get three minutes to do anything you want.

Just like a skit essentially. And I remember coming up with like, I think, yeah, I think it was only like a sophomore at the time. So it was like, I went to the meeting to maybe try and help, but I wasn't super confident doing this.

And I come up with this idea. I pitched him this idea. Cause I think it was like i went to the meeting to maybe try and help but i wasn't super confident doing this and right um i come up with this idea i pitched them this idea because i think it was like this might have been like 2012 or something so it's like political like debates were big things so i was like what if we did like a fake political debate but it ends up being this kind of like musical like rap battle at the end it goes from debate to music and they're like that's great yeah let's do that and then i was like it's between like our president against like the emporia hornets you know whatever i do this okay for homecoming nice and then uh they asked me to like write the lyrics for it i was like okay i write both sides so i write uh lyrics for whoever's gonna be the president and who's gonna be the emporia hornet then like dude we really like these lyrics do you just want to be the president's i'm like great

and so then i'm doing more and more responsibility it's like i've never done anything like this before but yeah let's do it and long story short basically uh we end up winning it was like people really thought it was funny and it was good i i never like rapped yeah ever before it matched less in front of my entire school i'm like kind of like your talent shows like i just wrote this thing and whatever i'm rapping and it's about sbu and people are loving it and we end up winning the whole thing and it I'm rapping and it's about SBU and people are loving it. And we ended up winning the whole thing. And it was kind of this moment, very prideful, honestly, but I still look back on it. I'm like, that was telling. It's like, I feel like I kind of single handedly beat everyone in the school. Like this is my idea. I wrote it and then I performed it and we won. Maybe I should do, I don't know what I should do, but like, that's, this is a good sign. Like this was easy.

This was fun. And I think since then I've kind of always been like, what could I do to make people laugh? What could I do to like get on a stage maybe and do something like, right. Kind of like what I've always said, I will never, I would get very uncomfortable being the center of attention, but if you ask me to like, okay, yeah, I will. I will never put myself in the dance circle. But that kind of propelled you towards comedy. Like you weren't already. No. Cause I wasn't doing programs yet at canica like i'd never been on a stage really before and then that kind of helped do that and i was like okay and then started to get more and more confident but that was the sign i was like

well this is kind of crazy i grew up playing sports how did i just like win this skit like that was not me at all right so anti-theater drama guy yeah so it's like that was a cool moment huh anyway i love it good question that's a. I like any time I can look back on stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. Good stuff. All right. Next one.

What's up, Jake and Brad? Hannah Joy here. Quick story from the Charlotte show. My tickets got upgraded to VIP per Trey's Patreon tier, but when we got there, they didn't say it in our tickets, so some guy had to come down and walk us somewhere to go confirm with somebody. We were walking upstairs. His name was Donnie. He was cool. Donnie. Making conversation. And guess who walks by? confirm with somebody. Well, we were walking upstairs. His name was Donnie.

He was cool. Making conversation. And guess who walks by? Jake walks by. Oh, yeah, he does. Hey, how's it going? He goes, hey, how's it going? That's right.

So we talked for max three minutes. I nailed the middle name. And then I turned around to continue to be escorted to wherever we were going. And the guy goes, well, that's proof enough for me. And I was like, what was? And he goes, well, they clearly know you're here. And I just started laughing. And he goes, let me just check that email yep that's trey's email and then we walk back downstairs to get our wristbands for vip so shout out to jake for the perfect timing

upstairs and my question for you is as i'm running out of breath um when was the first time you guys remember being recognized after making your podcast? Okay. Have a great week. Bye. Thank you, Hannah Joy. There you go. Yeah, it was fun just seeing her.

Yeah. And yeah, Charlotte's show. Anyway, do you have an answer? Yeah. I feel like you, I was like, I can't really think of one, but I bet Brad will have an answer. It was at Chick-fil-A. I think I talked about the podcast one time. The lady just goes, Brad Ellis.

And I thought she was like a woman from church or something. I was like, hey, how you doing? Were you at Camp Enterprise? How do you know? You heard my original song? It's like, I listen to your podcast. Ghost Rose podcast, right? I was like, yeah.

That is what it's called. How do you know? How do you know what I look like? Like, I think we had just put, like, started putting like videos on Instagram, but I don't think we posted on YouTube yet. Yeah. It was like that time where we would Chick-fil-A all the time um don't mean mr james yeah and now i mean you're getting recognized twice a week that's right all the time my gosh it's almost

it's embarrassing people are saying i wish brad was here when they meet me now yeah you've been mowed me uh some money the other day and sent that as the oh that's right it was just funny it was also kind of like kind of wish you were here too like yeah i'm just hanging in iowa city by myself yeah yeah i'll be interested i'm not whatever tonight's obviously not about me at all but i'll be interested like oh people it's gonna be a weird feeling like being somewhere and seeing people in ghostwriter stuff but like i'm not i'm not like i didn't even think about this. You know what I mean? You're absolutely right. Yeah. Cause like, like it's one thing, like no way you have a ghost wear a shirt on.

Thanks for coming and watching me perform my comedy. For me, it's like, like, do I go up to them? Do I, do I let, I don't know. I don't know how to react. This is like the Topgolf Rachel thing again. Yeah. I'm just walking around like anybody, anybody know us? Anybody want to talk to us?

You have that shirt on. Do you realize I'm the second guy or like not? Like, cause I'm like, that's probably it for me. It's like, I'm a little bit self-conscious of like, I don't even know. Like these people are obviously not coming, expecting to see me. So maybe they won't even recognize me, you know, or whatever. I'd like to think if they're wearing merch, they have listened, you know, deep enough to know we live in Kansas City that you'll be there.

Well, here's what you do. You wear Ghostrunners merch. Yeah, wear a shirt that says brad or just wear merch you think people are gonna wear like oh no way same shirt no way and then just kind of leave it at that oh do you listen to this podcast who's your favorite jake okay me too that's why i'm here yeah you gotta support him right uh that's funny what are you gonna wear? I'd like to know. I was thinking maybe my tux. I haven't worn that yet. Not bringing any attention to myself at all in the front row. The general admission tickets are called like orchestra A, B, or C.

So, I mean, I think it means that you're part of the orchestra. I'm in row triple A. What does that mean? That sounds. It's energetic. Triple A. Just keeps going. Yeah.

I think I am going to like find somebody in the fifth row or something be like hey do you want to switch for me these guys are my friends i don't want to be that close to them i think that's a smart strategy that's probably what i would do too right and it's gonna mean a lot to them i know i think honestly it might be better seats to be in the fifth you might be a little depending on like the theater my neck yeah it's like my neck for the theater anyway okay we need to wrap this up uh there's plenty more voice memos uh we'll get to them we'll get to them we'll get to them let's do our reviews of the week from the theater.

I was at Skyline, one of my favorite restaurants with my aunt when she told me to leave a review. But while on the topic of restaurants, I must talk about Chipotle and Chick-fil-A.
