house of pain's famous song jump around yeah yeah yeah yeah i nailed it so the very beginning i was like i think that's the song uh the very beginning of that song says buckle up buckle in let me begin yeah it's a fun start uh so hattie and i whenever we get in the car now, it's like a tradition we do. I always say, buckle up. And she goes, buckle up, buckle in. Let me begin. And then she goes, Romans 3, 23, all have sin. Not where I thought that was going to go.

I love it. Incorporating the gospel everywhere we can, baby. So she buckles up, buckles in, and then she remembers her memory verse. If I was a really good improviser i would think of like a rap song that also rhymes with like a verse that i know but this is using all the brain power i have i can't i can't do it that's okay all right pudding pudding i watched the pudding episode last night actually it was nice the pilot pudding biggest flan uh anyway how are we starting this thing i was gonna start off by saying uh i watched someone's i don't

know why but on facebook obviously i watched someone's like wedding video and i got a little ways into it and then they started reading like the, you know, it becomes a voiceover. The wife, the bride, you know, like wrote a letter to the groom. Now she's going to speak it out loud. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We did that. We didn't read them to each other. We read them ourselves. You didn't?

We didn't. You like read them internally. We passed them to each other. We didn't see each other, though. We were on other sides of the door. Good for you for waiting. Yes. Read the letters.

Nice. Yeah. But this one is a voiceover. And right away right away she said our love is an old-fashioned love oh pause close out of tab don't need to see this anymore i don't command w see you later um an old-fashioned love just right away i was like is it is it old fat how old-fashioned love. Just right away, I was like, is it? Is it? How old-fashioned are we talking? We're talking, you know, my dad didn't know we were dating at first because he was working at the coal mine all day. But when he got home, he was not about it. So I had to call you on our shared landline and tell you about it.

Maybe it's further back. Maybe it's, yeah, I graduated with six girls. You were one of them figured we'd make it work. Is that the old fashioned love you have? I remember. Yeah. I, I, I walked you to school, um, and you dropped your apple and I gave it to you. Like that's, you were one of nine women, including my immediate family that I knew of when I, when I hit puberty. So I figured I would marry you. Yes. You, uh, yeah, you knew my mother, uh, because she was your Sunday school teacher all growing up and you

also hemmed my pants. And so I know you are very domestic. So I want to marry, you know, we, we made up a third of the world that survived the bubonic plague. So at that point I figured, Hey, let's do this. Yeah. Love is a choice. I could figure this out. I figure we're kind of platonic, but we survived the bubonic. So let's do this thing. Let's do this thing. Or just, I mean, maybe how far back does it go? Just woman, girl, long hair. No, they don't even say, Hey, I'll give you, I'll give you wet mic.

You have wet mic, mic gold hair mate for life you want to make a fire between us i don't know roll the music uh-oh oh i do i think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white me too midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's the ghost did you ever see what was that movie year one year zero Go for a podcast. Did you ever see, what was that movie?

Year One, Year Zero? No, neither. None of the zero through fives. That kind of stuff doesn't interest me at all. Well, it was like Jack Black, Michael Cera. Yeah, even if it's funny, I'm not interested in it. No caveman stuff for you. Just, I don't like...

You're afraid they're going to plagiarize the Bible. I think anything before World War... Yeah, anything before world war two, I'm out too old. Yeah. Pretty much old fashioned fashion for me. You have a new fashion. I'm sure there's exceptions to that rule with movies, but I'll never like willingly like choose it. If somebody's already watching in the room, I'll sit down maybe. And you know, happened to watch it, but I, yeah, 19, 1941 and above. Yes, please. My hand was up hand was up he called on me uh what's the movie with desmond daws oh uh hacksaw ridge hacksaw ridge what war is that i don't know i can't remember either i thought it was world war ii i was thinking world war ii but then i was thinking

about that final scene where they're on hacksaw ridge and i was like that seems kind of like trench warfare i don't know much about history at all, I'm going to be honest with you. Simmer 7 is about all I know. Then again, I'm remembering Vince Vaughn. I think he's shooting an MP7. That seems like a World War II submachine gun. Let's see here. It's not very easy to find for me right now.

You got a wet keyboard. What was the war in Hacksaw Ridge? My wife had a wet typewriter. The doctor couldn't fix it worth nothing. It was the Battle of Okinawa. Oh, that's World War II. Okay. Well, we're still talking in this voice, so please don't break character.

1945 was a tough year at Okinawa, but we got through it. I said, please God, give me one more. I remember writing my missus. We had an old-fashioned love. I said, please, God, give me one more. I remember writing my missus. We had an old-fashioned love. I said, dear Abigail, how are the children? How is little Lila's leg? Are they still as stubborn as you? Please do write back.

I miss your lemonade and your sugar. XOXO. It's cold here, but I can just feel the warmth of the fire touching my toes from your stoking fireplace. Dear Abigail, I met Vince Vaughn in combat today. I met the guy from Dodgeball. Pretty good shot. I think we have a chance here against these against the purple cobras

yeah which is what we call the Japanese that's right W-H-I-T E alright you take care now

all my best and then you have to put your first and last name just in case they don't know it's you Desmond Doss Jacob G. Triplett Jacob G. Triplett

Jacob G. Triplett alright anyway that's been Letters from War that's it in case they don't know it's you. Desmond Doss. Jacob G. Triplett. Jacob G. Triplett. Jacob G. Triplett. All right. Anyway, that's been Letters from War. That's it. That's the segment that we just did right there. You guys know it. We do that and we do beatboxing every episode.

What are we talking about? Oh, I brought up year one. I brought up a movie I've never seen. Yeah, that'll do it. Oh, you haven't even seen it? No, I know nothing about this movie. I think Michael Cera's in it. All right. And I don't even know the title of it.

Anyway, what's going on this week? What's popping? What's popping? Brand new whip just hopped in. Romans 323, I'll have sin. Maybe we'll get that one going for next time with Hattie. Yeah. Brand new whip just hopped in.

I don't know. We'll think about it. It's hard to think about. Yeah, what hopped in? What arrives with hopped in? Hops in the rapper. What Bible verse? You had to think about it.

You're right. You're right. You're right. Hopton. Hopton. Hopton. Just find any any translation of the Bible. Scoffed him.

This is tough. OK, we're doing seriously. What rhymes with hopped in? I got nothing. Hopton. Compton. I don't think that's in the Bible. Compton. Which Bible? this is tough okay uh we're doing seriously what rhymes with hopton i got nothing hopton um compton i don't think that's in the bible compton which bible uh holy old-fashioned old-fashioned uh man a lot of things are up but none of them are like crazy just uh a busy family friend week that i had i uh pretty busy work-. It seems like I was in your shop. Also very

busy work wise. Very full shop. Yeah. It feels like it's good to harvest for you. Yeah. I've had to deny some people like some like three times social aspects. Yeah. Like, like some people have asked me to do things and I'm like, I'm sorry, but I just, I can't do that, which is really hard to do. Um, when you say you're like knee deep in work, sometimes it can be true. Yeah. You saw the sawdust. You were like, what is this stuff? That is sawdust. Yeah. It was like straight brown string sawdust. It was like, it was larger sawdust. It wasn't, it was more like saw hay than it was dust. I think you could sell it to rich people and be like, this is like very fine, like luxury sawdust. Like, Oh great. Yeah, sure. Okay. That's not a bad idea. Yeah.

Something to think about. Um, speaking of rich people one day last week, I think it was Friday, uh, a guy that had ordered or that ordered a table from me. I haven't made it from him yet. Came up to look at the table. Um, which is not a rare thing, but it was rare because he came from Fort Worth, Texas to come look at it. Just to get like a, yeah, he time. He puts more effort looking into his tables that I do my homes that I buy. Yeah, a hundred percent. He's like, I don't want to buy a table sight unseen. This is, so this is the guy. I'm not going blind now.

Yeah. It's a sweet, sweet table. It's going to be awesome. It's these like two, it's like one big slab that I'm making a two coffee table. This is the one that Isaac and I, my son, Isaac helped me, helped me pick out that one day. Great. Good for him. Good for you. And it's, it's my father-in-law's best friend from Texas who I knew he was doing well in life. I think I

realized after visiting with him that he is much more well off than I ever. Tell me specifically why you think that. Uh, because he was showing me his second house in Aspen, Colorado. Oh, sure. And I couldn't find good pictures of it. So he showed me the ones from Zillow and Zillow has an estimate of how much a house is worth. And I didn't know it was like, it's a duplex in Aspen, Colorado, $9.7 million. Okay. For a second house. And he buys his tables from you. That's right, baby. You can too. Luxury sawdust. So yeah, that was kind of interesting experience. Like I picked up a guy from the airport that I'd never met before. You had to pick him up for him to look at a table? I mean, I didn't have to. I'm from the Midwest though. But the airport's so far away. I'd be like, I'm already making this guy a table. It's going to be good. Exactly. I think the airport's so far away. And so like, he was like,

I'll just Uber to your house. I was like, don't Uber to my house. That's too far. That's going to cost you $40. That's going to cost way more than $40. 45. 45. Yeah. Plus tip. No, I mean, I didn't mind. And it was fun. Just, I mean, it was like, like Catherine met him before. So we got lunch with them and, uh, but I was like the whole time I was like, are you sure this is worth it for you to come up and look at this? Like we can do this over FaceTime. I would just be thinking that the whole time. It's like, is this worth it for you? But I think he had miles. He's, you know, basically retired by this point. And so he was just, yeah, this is fun. Cool I think he had miles. He's, you know, basically retired by this point. And so he was just, yeah, this is fun.

Cool. He actually had, he has a mantra. Like he, this guy is very interesting. I could talk about this guy for a long time, but he races for fun, like races cars. Oh, I thought like a hundred meter dash. Like, yeah. He's down. Field day every day.

He loves it. He raced his cars in Aspen. He's like in a racing club. And one of the things that's like on his car is HFED, which stands for. HFED? Mm-hmm. Heel, foot, every day. Yeah.

Because he gets to the pedal. Yep. Mm-hmm. And he's also a line dancer. No, it stands for have fun every day. I was close. So this guy is just like, yeah, I just want to have fun every day. Okay.

So his fun for the day was go from Texas to Kansas and back. Is your friend Bob Goff? Uh, no. Okay. I would love for my friend to be Bob Goff. Are you positive? I've met Bob Goff. And was it the same guy that you got from the airport this week?

It was not. Okay. So there's that then. No, this guy was not Bob Goff. You got dinner with Bob Goff. Bob Goff. Back before he was Bob Goff. But like his name was Bob Goff.

Robert Goff. But he wasn't Bob Goff. You know what I mean? It's like, it's like I knew Jake Triplett before he was Jake goff but like his name was bob goff robert goff but he wasn't bob goff you know what i mean it's like it's like i knew jake triplett before he was jake triplett he was just jacob g at that point he was just jg triplett he's writing letters from war yeah yeah what am i gonna use as like the example that i knew jake triplett before he was jake triplett like no like you don't understand jake and i used to whatever like something real real normal that like jake used to drive a Chevy Impala. Like you should have seen that thing.

Yeah. Jake had like gymnastics blocks stuffed in his car. Like I remember one time, uh, Jake was supposed to go to the airport and he locked his keys in his car at my house. Oh, that was kind of recently, but I'm saying like that was before you were doing it.

Yeah. That was, that was kind of recently ah but you always make it you always make it to the airport thank you that's life um i have i would like to talk about an interesting guy that i met in my life this week and then we'll get back to bob goff no it's fine my guy's name is joe okay um excuse me oh joe gilliland joe good job thank you good memory you're welcome so one of the first guys i ever met at canicuck now is like very connected dare i say now that i've spent some time with him the most connected guy i know whoa then again i don't know bob goff but uh yeah just he's a

friend from canicuck but he lives in dallas so he was like hey whenever you come through i want to hang out he's also very connected in the golf industry so he hooked us up with free golf it was so fun he's like hooking us up for free golf next week. I'm trying to think where to start with Joe. He's just the man. Right away. So what's his job? So I think he's started multiple companies.

I think he started one and sold it. And now he has a different company. He also told me he sold a company. Is he our age? He's probably 31, 32. That's pretty close to our age. And he's selling companies? Yep.

Yep. That's pretty fun. Yeah. That'll get you an Aspen house or two. One of the companies, I think he started recently, like he had a weird phone call and I was just like, what was that about? Cause he was mentioning, well, I was like, yeah, what was that about? He's like, well, oh yeah. One of the ventures, me and my business partner started, we bought the rights to 14 med spas last year. So I was just checking in on that. I was like, well, how's it looking? He's like, well, we got some good news. The last year, the fat tremors we had were not FDA approved, but they're back on the market. They're FDA approved now. Fat tremors? I don't,

I thought it was like a machine, but then he said FDA approved. So it must be a pill. Are you talking about trimming or trimmer? Oh, like with an E-M-O-R. Oh, this guy's got the fat tremors. Oh's got the tremors it's michael j fat dear abigail yeah yeah yeah so i was thinking some sort of machine with like a fast moving belt but then when he said fda approved i was like this must be a pill maybe yeah but then spa do you go to brick and mortar store to get pills yeah okay i mean where yeah where do you get your pills? On the line with Vince Vaughn. Yeah. Anyway, he's all over the place.

His main thing, he's like, he represents like 20 NFL players. He also represents like four PGA. He's an agent? Yeah, he's like an agent. Okay. Also represents like the good, good golf guys, like my friends and like the golf YouTuber world. Is that your connect? Well, I guess you knew him from Keenacock as well.

Yeah, that was more of just a fun coinkydink. Like, wait, Garrett, you know Joe? Like, that's my friend. He's like, yeah, he's like my friends and like the golf youtuber world is that your connect well i guess you knew him from kennecock yeah that was more of just a fun coinkydink like wait garrett you know joe like that that's my friend he's like yeah he's like my manager i was like oh how fun is that was he one of the ones at your show yes he came to the dallas show oh no yes wait joe did not come with garrett to the kansas city show correct domando okay they've each been separately does he represent any nfl players we know oh yeah, yeah. I mean, he lives in Dallas. He represents like eight Cowboys. He said he just started a relationship with Trayvon Diggs. I'm like, good to get in now.

Yeah, I would say. Good for you. He said Trayvon's not that cool. He shows up late. He's not that professional. He's like, good for you for having standards. You don't put up with no crap. I don't do that.

Who is his biggest pickup? I think, what's that white guy's name on the Cowboys? Good defensive push. Leighton Van Der Esch. That's the only one. Oh, the other linebacker. think, what's that white guy's name on the Cowboys? Good defensive push. Uh, different one. That's the only one. Oh, the, uh, other linebacker. Yeah. It's that guy. Um, I think they just got him.

He's like, that was a big pickup. I feel like he's got two one syllable names. Sean Lee. Sean Lee. Yeah. Man, maybe. Is that him? I don't know.

Whatever. Uh, sorry. This is taking long. I don't know if he still plays for the Cowboys, but anyway. Um, Joe was like, uh, been playing a lot of golf recently uh i was actually in um what's it it's like it's i think it's called like maro log mara maro largo maro largo maro largo my goodness largo yeah uh mara largo mara largo wow i cannot mara largo is it here's the vowels in order a a a Mar-a-Lar-go? Wow, I cannot. Mar-a-Lar-go. Here's the vowels in order.

A-A-A-O. Is that it? Mar-a-Lar-go. There. No, I think it's Mar-a-Lar-go. Oh, God. Mar-a-Lar-go. Florida.

It sounds right. Mar-a-Lar-go, Florida. There you go. You gotta say the whole thing. Mar-a-Lar-go, Florida. Yeah. He was down there, which I know of that place from being like Trump slash Epstein. Right. He was like,

funny. You say that last week I played golf with Donald Trump. I go, no, you did it. He was about to say, funny to say that last week I played with Jeffrey Epstein. I mean,

I mean, Jeffrey, his name, he told me to call him. Yeah. Daniel Epstein. No, it literally played golf.

I mean, six days before he's playing golf with me. No way. He's played with Trump. And I was like, no, you didn't. He showed me a picture. And was like oh wow okay what did he did he say anything about how trump played i've always heard that trump's a cheater on the golf course he told me two things he said he's better than you think but he is a cheater yeah so um yeah doesn't trump hold like the course record like multiple golf courses like there's no

way you have the course record like Like has beaten like PGA, like golf to like golf players, scores and stuff. So that was fascinating. It was like, I'm sorry you're playing with me today. It's going to be a little different. So that was really fun.

And just a fascinating guy. He's like, Joe is like kind of like a name dropper, but I love it. Every like, it's an enjoyable name dropper. It's like, this is, I would want to know you golf with Donald Trump. I don't want you to

keep that from me based off of humility. I'm glad you told me. And maybe he's the kind of guy that knows where to name drop. Like I'm going to name drop to Jake because Jake's not used to name droppers. Right. This is fun for me, but maybe to Donald Trump, he's probably not name dropping Trayvon Diggs. You know what I'm saying? Like, he's like, I'm not going to say anything to him. Right, right, right, right. Yeah. Strategic name dropper. But like anybody in the Midwest, name drop away.

Like, because it's awesome because we don't see very many celebrities. So we're like, whoa, seriously? Yeah. Yeah. It was awesome. So just good times with Joe. Oh, also he was hating on the bomb text more than I've ever seen because he just, he works in the golf and he,

you know, he has like personal relationships with all these people. And he literally FaceTimed his friend just to show his friend that I was using bomb texts. He's like, look, his friend's like, I didn't know people actually use these.

Did you, did you capitalize on that? Did you say, okay, then give me some other clubs. I didn't have to because Joe offered up himself. He's like, dude,

we got to get some better clubs in your hands. I was like, yeah, that'd be nice. Yeah. Well, so we'll see. Heck yeah better clubs in your hands. I was like, yeah, that'd be nice. Yeah. Well, so we'll see. Heck yeah. I haven't cashed in on that yet, but that would be awesome.

A podcast host that also likes some clubs. Right or left-handed. He'll take either. He's still figuring it out. Okay. I was going to say, I'd prefer left though, Joe. That's awesome. Anyway, so that's the interesting guy in my life from this week.

I have an interesting guy as well. Actually, there are two women, which equals one guy. Just kidding. No, at Panera the other day, dadder days with my kids and my parents. First of all, it was a rough time to be at Panera.

The Panera over here, kind of by your house, the one that you used to go to a lot with Chick-fil-A and Culver's over there. Oh, right. They only had two people working the entire store and they had no napkins. Ah, COVID. Imagine that, Jake.

No napkins, Jake. Dear Abigail, we've ran out of napkins. I was baffled. Honestly, like I understand when you run out of like large cup lids, but napkins, there's billions of napkins in the United States. Yeah. You should just ask people,

hey, can you go to your car and empty out your glove box? We'll take some napkins, please. Yeah. Just like- Everybody's got napkins. Like they literally gave us like folded over paper towels that looked like they were from the bathroom. I'm sure they were.

Yeah. I still remember in high school, one time my family and I, we went to Outback Steakhouse and they were out of A1 sauce. And I was like, how are you a steakhouse? Yeah.

You should have enough of this. Yeah. Anyway. So, but we're sitting there trying to be patient, waiting for our stuff. And this woman comes up to us

and she says, hi, Brad. And I say, here we go. And she has a mask on. So I don't, you know, I don't recognize her.

It was just Halloween. That's right. Like, whoa, you scared my daughter. That's the screen mask yeah uh chucky no but i was like hey how you doing uh she's like i follow you on instagram i think you're really funny dude you're crushing it with getting recognized my parents think i'm a like a-list celebrity every time i'm out in public with them they're they're seeing recognized. I mean, it's a pretty high frequency at this point.

My dad's like, that's amazing. He's like, can't believe it. But she was really sweet. And then she walked away and my parents asked me all these questions. Like I'm supposed to read the mind of the woman who just, well, how did she know you? Yeah. How long did she wait to say hi to you? Does she watch your podcast or like, like listen, like watch your videos or I'm like,

the whole conversation was right in front of you. You saw deleted scenes here. So then anyway, near the end of the time I was getting a refill on my drink, like a good American does. And, uh, they're right there. And so I said, you know, like, Hey, how you doing? Their names are Meg and Madeline. So shout out to them. And Meg was a big fan. Madeline just now follows us on Instagram. Okay. But I think she found us. She was at the Jake Triplett Show featuring Trey Kennedy in Kansas City. Oh, just the live show Trickle Down. Yeah, I think so. No, I don't know if it was like live show Trickle Down.

I think she had already been following us and stuff, but she did go to the show. I think she was a Trey Trickle Down. Okay. But anyway, it was just fun to once again just be seen and it also just makes me like kind of self-conscious every time i go out in public now like like today i have my uh like my overalls on like my my woodworking overalls on oh yeah and i'm just like if somebody sees me they're either gonna think i'm just a weirdo or like that's probably not brad yeah exactly i thought surely that looks like i'm in the face but that guy's unemployed yeah right exactly so um congrats on that thank you let's just once again you know it's always always just

like i don't know am i gonna get noticed am i gonna get recognized right now is somebody watching me eat my hawaiian bros right now for the eighth time this week so hawaiian bros is good it's so it's like maybe top two not two for me right now really yeah i love the speed and that they're open till 11 p.m both of those are nice for me except new house long ways to go for nh bros i'll call it right now they're gonna open one soon enough near you i believe it yeah i believe they're expanding like crazy yep that's the word that's the scuttlebug bud mar-a-largo uh also oh looky here look at this phone call yes let's talk to him joe gilland yeah joe what up dude what up dog i'm actually uh recording a podcast right now i was literally just got done talking about you how much fun we had in dallas on the podcast on the pod baby

what are you taking a break from recording no dude, dude. No, we're on right now. You're on the air. I was talking about how you were hating on my bomb techs. Dude, the bomb techs, they don't go hard. That's for sure. But when Jake swings them, they go a long way. Thank you, Joe. You bombed it.

You bombed the bomb tech for sure. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I was literally just talking about you. So it's funny you called. Oh, well uh yeah just call me after uh jake's the man podcast podcast podcast all right cool i'll call you a little bit all right who's your linebacker that you know that you represent oh yeah which one the white guy the white guy I was trying to remember the guy who's the guy you said you just recently picked up who was like a

big pickup been working with Michael Parsons Michael Park Micah Parsons Micah Parsons very not white well the name Micah very good though Micah Parsons okay awesome thank you for answering your own trivia question I'll talk to you later yeah no worries later that's yeah look hey Micah Parsons. Okay. Awesome. Thank you for answering your own trivia question. I'll talk to you later. Yeah. No worries. Later. I see. Look,

Hey, Micah's a white name. That's very true. Most of the time. Also, why does the phone do that with the microphone? I don't know if you guys can hear it, but in our headphones,

it's a frequency thing. It's a frequency thing. That's what always would happen with amps. When I was looking at you just throwing out playing guitar, you know, dude, that reminds me, we need to do the jingle bell rock skit oh like your idea g shorts or something i i really think the guitar guy's idea was good trey does not like it it's hard to tell because he'll never just

straight up say no i don't like that idea but he just won't like he just is passive enough yeah like last like so this this upcoming week uh trey and jake are going to be gone they get back monday leave again wednesday and so it's like so yeah this this upcoming week upcoming week it's like hey brad just do a video by yourself and so i was like okay an idea i've had for a while that i don't think you guys would need to be in is guitar guys and i mentioned it like last week and then again this week and he he's like, yeah, maybe we should do another conservative dad one. And I was like, oh, okay. So you don't like guitar guys.

But I think it'd be funny. I don't know. Yeah, I think he's really trying to just go after the characters, trying to build characters, I guess. I think guitar guys could be a good character. I don't know. We'll see. Maybe I'll just do it.

Maybe I'll just be like, Derek, keep rolling. Hey, it's going to be our secret. Yeah. It was fun getting to film at your house yesterday, though. It was fun. Yeah. I got some little moments of one-on-one time with Bo that I haven't had before. Yeah.

It was fun. I like watching you interact with my kids a little bit. Yeah. I feel like I do much better with children in private. No. Hold on. Wait. Hold on.

I mean, behind closed doors. I mean, just when you're not around i mean just like when they're not in their diapers no i mean like when they're older not like i took their diaper off yeah goodness i just i just do better yeah i don't even know anyway you got some good time with beau good time with Bo Bo's gonna be in the upcoming video big time maybe audio from Hattie we'll see maybe we'll see if she wants to do it or not um yeah that was fun yeah that was very full day yesterday yeah yeah a bunch of stuff shot a video for Amazon I don't think we've ever made a video for Amazon before wow just just

straight up just admitting that you're working for the devil now, huh? Just kidding. Uh, yeah, both Jeff's Epstein and Bezos. I love them. Mara Largo is great. Yeah. Mars is great too. Apparently according to Bezos. Um, uh, speaking of Amazon actually, well, yeah, let's put a bookmark in filming your place. We'll come back to it. Um, Amazon, uh, have you have you ever so i i experienced this once in seattle when we're on the limo trip there was a store in the base of like this i don't know if it's the headquarters of amazon are they based in seattle they are okay it might have been the base of like the headquarters like the high rise there's like a store just like a market you know like a transitioned whole foods kind of thing where you don't pay for anything you just rfid not even that

what do you mean it's like strictly like artificial intelligence and like camera based because they have to know who to charge it to oh sure like they have to use like your face to know who you are wow and who to charge the money to okay and we were talking to people who worked at amazon because like friends of friends who are there nearby and they're like one of the guys i remember him saying like that was his project that he worked on we're like can you tell us anything and you know like what can you he's like he's like it's just a very private project like i can't really tell you anything like give us something yeah and it was really interesting it also just feels wrong you just go in there you pick some stuff out and you just leave just walk out so fun um the reason i bring this up is because

love field the dallas airport with southwest yeah completely renovated since last time i've been there they have one of those stores all the like signage instead of just being like weird plastic like gate 37 it's all digital now it's color-coded it'll show you a map of the air plane and show you like how full the flight's gonna be really it's awesome new favorite airport love field oh you went there this past week yeah sorry this past week so i was like i've been to love field kind of recently and i that must be like very recent stuff as of you know whenever thursday i want to dig deeper like you're saying into this this like facial recognition thing or whatever oh yeah the one thing he could tell us it was kind of interesting he said they brought in actual criminals for months and months and months to try and like figure out a way to

like get around it oh i see they're like because they will figure out a way to like get around it oh i see they're like because they will figure out a way to like you know steal man and the only thing that worked for one criminal was i think it was like he took out a bag of chips and like rolled around on the ground with them for like a couple minutes and then he got him walked out so i guess they're trying just all sorts of crazy stuff that That was the only thing that ever worked was you roll around on the ground with chips and then you leave. That's funny.

See, I didn't even, I'm thinking out of more of the marketing standpoint of like, like if those, if those cameras can not only detect your face, but they can be like, you're wearing a jean jacket and you're wearing this and a jean jacket wearing pants, wearing guy also buys kettle cooked jalapeno chips and

like funnels in like how to market to like people. It's like targeted ads. Yeah. Oh. That's my mindset. It's not necessarily like how do you steal or how do you get away or break the system. Mine's more like they're doing way more than just recognize your face. That's tough.

They're looking at everything about you and they're like, okay. Or this guy is, you know, he looks like he's 30 years old and he goes in and gets out in seven minutes. This woman is in and out in two minutes because, and she looks like this. Therefore this type of like all different things. This guy's name is Micah, but he's not white. Yeah. This is throwing off the system.

I don't know about this guy. Uh, yeah, that is interesting. I like the idea of offline targeted ads. They like are switching out like you go to reach for something and it's like switches out the chips in front of you right it's like you want these it's like oh i do like the impulse buys at the end like yeah yeah but it's switching it's targeted to you yeah like crazy world a lot of smells it's like a black mirror episode uh anyway settle that because they oh we amazon is coming out with amazon echo frames

which sounds like it's gonna be some cool augmented reality thing. No, it's just sunglasses with really thick frames on the side that have a speaker built in that throws sound into your ear. It's not touching your ear. It's just like just ambient noise nearby your ear. And so that the ad copy was like, if you can listen to podcast and still have a conversation. Why would I ever want to do that? It sounds so confusing for everybody. That's the dream.

You can, you can multitask and do two things mediocrely. Okay. Cause like I like edited the video according to the script, which is like throw in background NPR podcast, like make it seem like Trey was listening to that. And it's so confusing in the video. Cause all of a sudden it's like, okay, now there's a weird female voice it's like whoa is this being edited wrong or something a glitch in here or like sometimes when you're like instagram kind of bugs out it's playing two videos at once you're like whoa i just gotta close out and

like restart this yeah yeah yeah that's what it was like editing this video i'm like okay i sent it to ray i was like i edited it according to the script but we're gonna want to put music in there because trey's already playing a man and a woman. And now you get a third voice in there. That's neither of them. It's like, what is happening? So did he have the glasses? Yeah.

They sent them to him. They didn't look necessarily super nice there. I mean, the just massive frame, just so thick. Okay. And we didn't try them. So I don't know how they work.

I'm just curious. Yeah. How like, like, is it loud enough that I could also listen to the podcast with you or is it like directed enough? I wonder. Yeah.

I wonder how loud it has to be. If it's like throwing it. I don't know. i just i i'm sure eventually i'll have desires for new technology stuff but like i'm just so content with my life right now i saw your portable dvd player you were like you think we got this back in 2009 nope this is a recent purchase yeah we before we got our minivan that has a dvd player in it, that was like our solution for Hattie watching stuff. Like, cause often like with the iPad, you had to like download stuff and have it ready and limited your selection.

And so we just bought like this $30 DVD player online, you know, that was like, remember back in the day though, that was like the coolest thing. I feel like I never had one, but like, I was always jealous of my friends. Like this small little thing, you know, like, like if we, if we watch TV, we had to bring in like our actual TV and get like the converter to the three prong thing and everything. Like this one was so small and so compact and 6.5 inches diagonally. Let's go. Oh, good times. Anyway. Yeah. You'll see that in the video. If you see something, uh, that looks kind of like an iPad, that's not. That's what that is.

Yeah. So how about how about the two videos that Gene Schwartz have released with just Jake and I lately being nine out of 10 and 10 out of 10 as far as dog people do great. I thought it would, too, which I think has something to do with the monetization being struck because Google doesn't want to like promote our video because it's not making money for them. It's got to be. That was a good video. I thought so too. Dogs are great on the internet. So you think that, yeah. Explain to me a little more about that. Like, so it's just a theory that

Josh and I had back in the day. It's a theory that Trey and I have, like, if you're a company like YouTube and you look at it, you know, just like even without knowing it, it's just like X creator right here, just like fill in the blank they put copyrighted uh music in their video so because of that the owner of the music is going to make money off it youtube is not going to make money off it why would i promote that video to random people online because it serves no purpose for us and so we lost for whatever reason we lost our way of making money on this video so therefore youtube's not going to promote it to anybody outside of the circle of people that would already watch it correct i think yeah it's not like getting promoted on the side like suggested videos like it's kind of like being like shadowed that

makes sense which is a bummer yeah literally i we filmed those two videos together in the park that day dog people and pun guru i didn't think pun guru was going to do well but i think it was so fun like i thought i i didn't know how well it would do, but I thought like it's it's a pretty good video. Yeah. But hey, Southern Republican, whatever, it's a conservative dad. Conservative dad. Crushed. Crushed it.

Who would have thought? So good for you. Thank you. So I don't know if you guys can hear that. Isaac is cutting. I think he's got the jaws of life out. He's he's cutting open his car right now in the garage. He's saving a woman.

You know, you're like an experienced woodworker when you know exactly the right tool that he's using. Yeah, what's happening right now? That's a planer. Okay. Which makes the long stringy sawdust. That's right. Yeah. Yeah.

Here's a fun fact. Middle school Maddox sound effect back in the day. Oh, yeah. there's a, there's a saw that like he cuts off his fingers or messes up his finger. Uh, the sound effect is different than the actual tool. No way. That might've been my bad. Really? Might've been my bad. That was a table saw sound effect on a miter saw, uh, saw. Dang it. Yeah. I think I Googled table saw cause I thought that's what it was. That's what lots of people do. Like sometimes you'll be like, Hey, do you have a a table saw and they'll be like the one that you put on a table and you cut with yeah i have a table saw a lot of people think that so dang i'm

sorry i didn't think that was your fault or i wouldn't have called you out on it i thought it was like you know you had lots of other people working on that project with you so we did but trey and i kind of edited it together that's that was probably me let's try probably it's also weird like editing a video with a guy watching over you but the guy watching over you is in charge so you're just like making decisions like i hope this is cool you cool with it like a looking back every 30 seconds you good with like surely this is okay right you good with what i've been doing especially when it's like should i laugh at this even though i've seen it for 15 times now you know yeah um i decided you know it's time to just continue let's let's start the um you know

brick by brick where we're gonna ramp up wow that planer's loud my goodness i cannot focus right now i've just kind of slowly ramped up my spending gearing up for the big all the money that's about to go out next week i'm finally closing on the house well you're you're investing in something that's going to surely make you money and so rather than like having more money eventually throw some more money into the house right that's how it works yeah so yeah down payment closing costs also hey oh whoa they won't tell you about that whoa yeah maybe we could talk about that more after the podcast my goodness just sucking me dry. Jeez. Friends didn't give you

too much of a discount on the closing cost. Not dry. That's an exaggeration. But in preparation for that, how loud is that? Is that the loudest planer in Kansas?

Is that a Guinness World Record? I feel like it's not even going to translate to you guys who are listening right now. But I mean, Brad and I have headphones on You can wait

No, that's great No, we were just talking. We were just chatting. Just do a quick... Do you hear the last machine? Because I'm about to use the ladder. What's louder than that? No, there's nothing louder. I felt bad the entire time. I was like, I got to quickly do this.

What is it for? Throwing a little cutting board in. A little extra gift for a client. Oh! Goes the extra mile. Come on, come on. You get an extra cutting board. That guy, man.

Oh, it's all good. I didn't even notice it. From a distance, could you recognize different tools and what they are? Like if you hear somebody down the street using a tool, would you recognize what it is? Yes. Between like a table saw or like a miter saw,'m like oh yeah that's a miter saw versus table saw yeah exactly brad was just saying that uh no apparently not middle school maddox uh episode three i did not i did not know the difference of table saw and miter saw jake learned uh what

planer shavings look like the other day he's like what is this i was like that's sawdust he's like nessa sawdust i've seen sawdust. I've edited a miniseries where woodworking was involved. So I think I would know. I think I'm an expert. Wow. Oh, you're good. You're good. Baseball is finally back.

The other night, I think I told you this already. We were watching the game at Gunner's house, but the night before a bunch of friends came over, he's hung out and had dinner together, play games. And two of the friends there were Harrison and his girlfriend, Abby. Abby suggested we play telephone Pictionary, which is so I'm such an easy, I'm an easy going guys.

I'll play anything. But telephone Pictionary is kind of a funny one to play when you're 30 years old. Cause everyone remembers playing that like your freshman year of college. Yeah, I do. Right. I don't think the ceiling is very high on like how much fun you can have a telephone. Exactly. A hundred percent. It's like, it's like we started out with tis the season to be jolly. And now, and then they, they wrote, they had like a, a a a season and a happy face and then that person wrote fall happy it's always just like everyone that's just a classic miscommunication that's what the game is built off of but for some reason somebody in our group i don't know who it

was like had never played and so we were explaining it to them. Okay. And Hattie was still awake and she was sitting with me. Like she was kind of my partner with it. Um, I think our, our sentence was the camel went to the library and then ate corn and she thought it was hilarious. That is hilarious. Um, but somebody was explaining like the game and you're like, yeah, so you write it and then you pass it and you write and you pass it. And, and Harrison just goes, Oh, so like puff, puff, pass, like puff, puff, pass. Right. I mean, they're more Harrison.

And everyone looks at Harrison like, what, what are you doing? And literally like the classic thing, how do you just goes buff, buff, pass. So I'm like, oh boy, Harrison, thanks a lot. And like, we're like all trying to like, kind of be cool about it. Like, don't say that. Out of all. Yeah. Harry's Harry's just so funny, man. funny man like he like have we talked about that

in the podcast before like where there's been a few times where like he's just telling a story retelling a story and he like he like cusses not like anything like terrible terrible but like he'll say a cuss word and then how he's right there i'm like dude and she's like she's like two and a half three years old at the time and he's like she's not she can't understand what i'm saying like she's not a like, she can't understand what I'm saying. She's not a blob. Definitely can't. She memorized Peter Rabbit when she was like a year and a half old.

She knows Romans 3.23. Right. And she is, yeah. And you're making her do it. Living proof of it right now. So anyway, Harry just cracks me up, man. That's funny. Dude, he has been cracking me up.

Two weeks in a row, we've watched the Chiefs game together. And something he said, I found myself thinking about four days later because it was so funny. Do you remember what they were? I mean, both of them are like contextual and like not that funny. It's like trying to tell you. It's like you had to be there. So the first one was this might still be funny. We're watching the Chiefs game last week and the Chiefs are like winning, but barely against the Giants.

It's weird. It's not pretty. And Abby can kind of feel the vibe in the room i guess i mean we are still having a good time i mean i'm slamming puppy chow everybody's there it is laughing hard yeah it's a fun night yeah and abby just goes so is this like fun for you guys and i'm being sarcastic or snarky just like jimmy like do you guys like do you guys enjoy doing you guys do this like every week yeah and you like it yeah and we were all like giving a hard time and then harrison was like equating it's like alcohol he's like when does it kick in when do i start feeling it like that was her and uh that was it that's what made me laugh so hard uh that was good and then this week were you there when he started

doing the um the falcons uh dance no the dirty bird no kind of so they were showing a clip maybe you'd already left they were showing a clip on tv of the falcons dancing in the locker room after they had won i mean they were going crazy dancing in there and abby goes uh is this before the game and so then we were laughing like yeah that's how they get hyped actually don't come and stretch yeah they just dance for an hour and uh so then harrison acted it out for us like instead of doing calisthenics he was just like dancing in the living room it was a sight to see if you get harrison on a little bit of momentum like he's funny yeah oh my gosh like he has to get warm he's like a work truck you know he's gotta get warmed up but once he's there he's there it's like by the time you get to your destination

it's like now it's warm now i gotta get out because i left with like what three minutes left in the game oh that's right so yeah yeah He was just then getting into it. Um, yeah, that's kind of an interesting development in my life is that I had to leave from the chiefs game because I am now on a board for something. Uh, Kansas city chiefs ever heard of it? Yeah. Ever heard of them? Gracie Hunt's dad in with Gracie's daddy. Oh my gosh. Now I could follow her on Instagram and call it work. Dude.

You want to like Catherine two weeks ago, I think it was that podcast. Catherine said she laughed so hard. There were multiple times that episode. She's like, Jake, you made me laugh out loud today. Yes. That part.

And the part where you were talking about a gunner being the first millionaire to ever get it from collecting pennies like she's like i laughed so hard those things which is awesome to hear like she's she still finds this yeah she likes listening stuff but um no it's i'm on the board for kansas city k life um so where it all began yeah that's right yeah and so peter and i are on the board i don't know if that's saying something about me getting older if that's saying more about them just getting desperate for people that they need. That's how I felt about most major opportunities I've gotten in life. I'm like, I think this came down to a lack of other options.

Next trick shot superstar? Absolutely. Absolutely. I love when they were like showing everyone's resume on Harlem Globetrotter. X Games gold medalist. Like 150,000 followers. Chevy Impala driver. Yeah.

Oh, they literally I didn't even ask him to do this. Obviously, he didn't edit the video. They put my specialty down as fast food. The other guy said Harlem Globetrotter, like Olympic gymnast, fast fast food. Like this guy won't go very far. Yeah, that when I got asked to be on programs, it was because nobody came back that summer. Really? Which that led to a lot of good things.

So shout out to you, J.D. Weeby. There you go. J.D. Weeby. Sorry, keep going. So lack of options has led to you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So I'm on the board.

So I don't know much to say about that yet, but I'm going to be making decisions, I guess, for things. What is your role? I don't know yet. I don't think there is much of a role yet. You should create one. I think as I was my guy, as I was there, I was like, okay, I think part of it is just to help fundraise and find people to fundraise and also find people to get involved. You'd be good at that. Yeah. I think I like both those things a lot. I think I have

somewhat of a good amount of connections here in Kansas city. And we know a lot of young people that might want to get involved. So yeah, that's awesome. If you're, if maybe I'll just shout them out right now on the podcast, they're looking for small group players, looking for people to mentor young kids. So if you're young adult in KC and if you got to be a Christian, be a Christian to do it. Okay. That's probably the third main thing. Yeah. Young adult, Kansas city. Yeah. Follow her Jesus. I think so. While we're asking for things, I could use a roommate or two. Okay okay so holler at me um because that mortgage payment's coming quick male roommate probably okay but or maybe it's a new girl

situation what do you mean new oh the show and i was like she would be new for me it'd be my first time living with her yeah um yep let me know okay elatha we got a pool oh yeah right across the street right across the street yeah baby the pool is right across the street i want to emphasize that to people like where you live i'm down in aletha oh nice nice neighborhood yeah and the pool is uh right across the street right across the street everything you go up to my attic you punch a hole in the wall you you can see everything. My God. You ever seen Disturbia? It's like that, but you know, it's not dark. But you don't have to wear an ankle bracelet if you don't have any.

Dude, I love Disturbia. Great flick. Like, like irrational love for Disturbia. Yeah. I think Ronnie's amazing. That's, Peter was talking about Ronnie on the T-Box today. Really? He said greatest character in cinema history. Literally he's like, I don't know his name, but I was like, you're talking about the Asian

dude. He's like, yep. I was like, huh? If we ever get, if we ever need like a third person on our podcast, like pretty regularly, I think Peter should be the guy because, because Peter, Peter like thinks outside the box in such a subtle, but hilarious way. Like, so the other night we were all hanging out and then you witnessed this the next day as well uh we just it's just like a classic guy thing so the guys were eating in one room girls were in another and guys just like got on this uh kick of

like thinking of old players from like the 2000s like nfl players and like none of us knew where they went to college and then we'd look it up and then we'd like give like a small hint and try to guess it so like we're like keshaun johnson we're keishon johnson play okay that's good that's good so we looked it up and like one person looked it up and then they're like all right uh you know first we just kind of try to guess like i don't know florida state purdue uh yeah georgia southern whatever and and then like after you know two minutes we're like okay give us a little get some hints and usually we would we would give a hint by saying the West or the East side of the United States. Or maybe conference, like normal ways to divide things.

Right. And so, uh, they got to my, I forget what my player was. Devante Adams. Um, no Devante Adams was the next day, but, but yeah, that night, uh, I was like, okay, you want me to split the country in half? And everyone's like, yeah, yeah, split the country in half. And Peter goes, yeah, split in half, but split it up in north or south horizontally like being completely serious yeah and so it's just such like a funny like subtle humor thing of like yeah why would no one knows where a half is right like that's so hard like no one knows if memphis is in the top half or the bottom memphis is tricky or like even missouri part of missouri right split yeah where's it like if he goes to

arkansas like it's worse fanville i think that's in the bottom i'm not positive like where's that and yeah it's just like like california is just off limits is it all above i don't know yeah exactly i think san diego's down low but i don't know the geography of california very well at all maybe got it they call it norcal there you go nor norcal algo yeah that'd be a fun thing to like you know a poll of like we asked 100 people on the street to divide the country horizontal like where do they draw the line like you get some crazy ones without without looking at the map obviously like where where's the line yeah yeah anyway peter needs to come on the pod it's getting so hard to like do bonus episodes i think you guys are pretty aware with my schedule right now it's hard to get these in honestly it is

starting to set in i'm not getting like tired or exhausted necessarily it's just starting to like things are starting to pile up in my real life yeah because i'm not home you know i'm trying to like i gotta do two podcasts i'm shooting for a trace channel shooting for jean shorts i'm trying to date you know there's like important things happening right and uh anyway so it's getting a little tricky but i do want to do some bonus episodes i thought it'd be fun to get lindsey porter on a bonus episode just why not yeah just just let her go go ahead hey go ahead why'd you dye your hair purple get it out of your system that's right yeah she would be great gotta have gunner gotta peter yeah um honestly logan cleaver did great in his like

five minutes of bonus time during march madness and he's gonna be a roommate soon yes not as soon as i thought he was gonna be okay um so i'm looking for a roommate for a month or two even maybe yeah uh anyway okay yeah what how do we get there what is that topic puff pass i think is how we got there wow yeah good for us um i want to talk real quick about the shows uh yeah you went to some shows this weekend i went i did some shows only three cities one night or one show per night which is nice three of the biggest cities in america though yeah san antonio top 10 number seven that's right not eight who taught you that uh did you same guy told you about luke oakland's cutting boards baby uh san jose was cool my first time ever being there top eight on eight you ever been there

i've been there at least once okay cool i i went to the river walk that was cool that our uh performance or like venue was on the river oh that's cool it's always great i was just walking around there by myself one day or the day and uh i got recognized across a river no you ever been recognized across a body of water no it's first for me uh no it's like puddle does that count let me think yeah some guy just yells at me i'm walking by myself i got a little coffee in my hand yo you do skits with trent kennedy and there's a lot of people around that That's a pretty popular area. But I was like, yeah. And, uh,

he was just like, dude, I'm a big fan. What are you doing in town? It's like, you're not that big of a fan. Probably. Yeah.

What brings you to San Antonio? You know, I'm like, we're doing a show. It's still yelling across the river. And I was like, you should come. So he's like,

okay, I might. How, how, I can't remember how wide the, like, was it very hard to talk? No,

it was like, uh, it was just more just, we were in public yelling back and forth. Yeah. Yeah. It was like a little awkward. Like I'd rather you walk across the bridge and let's just talk, but whatever. That's cool. But yeah. Recognize across the river.

Okay. So good times in San Antonio. Um, and then Dallas was, uh, Dallas was really fun. I almost lost my voice in the, uh, that Dallas day. Just, you know, golfing with Joe. Yeah. And then right into, there's so many people there. Like I went straight from there to people calling me wanting free tickets. I called

my dad just to update him. I just, I talked all day long. Then I perform there's like Joe and his wife are backstage, um, before the show, after the show. And then I'm hanging with, uh, biggest meet and greet line I've ever done after a show. It was just really fun. Just a lot of pictures, a lot of small talk. Oh, go ahead. ahead um and then after that then i'm hanging with like a bunch of canicug people afterwards so um got my dr pepper cake jeff is the man give a big hug right he's the man he was there with you yeah with like maybe all of his children i didn't get like a formal introduction like who's who but okay he was there in a ghostwriter shirt he just has two daughters okay daughters and some friends then okay Yeah a lot of women and Jeff good for him

But the cake was nice, dude, Jeff. I took it back if you're listening I took it back with all my friends We split it up and we all had it and no one believed me There was a dr. Pepper cake really cuz it's you know, it's not like a super like it doesn't taste like dr Yeah, it's like a chocolate cake with a little dr. Pepper in it But I was like, I'm almost positive that you know know, I'm starting to doubt it. I'm like, no, he said Dr. Pepper cake. So it was awesome. And then I had it the next, I took it to Houston, had it that night in the green room. So good cake. Yeah. If you don't remember this guy, I made a table for him

in Dallas, delivered it. And then he gave me this Dr. Pepper cake. And then Jake's like, what? I want some Dr. Pepper cake. It was awesome. Yeah. So he texted me like earlier that week. I was like, I don't know. It sounds like security is kind of tight to get in there or whatever. I don't know if Jake can take it back. I don't want to have another Amish JMS. And I was like, I think Jake and his friends can definitely eat that thing before they leave. So, um, yeah. Okay. So, so like, yeah. Biggest meet and greet line because you're just amazing or there was just a, it was a, it was a math thing. There was like 2,500 people there. Yeah. Could you tell like, this is way different? Like, cause, cause what's the normal, like what was Kansas city?

Like 15? Yeah. Like 1500 or so. That's probably pretty normal. What we're used to. And that was still awesome. You know, that was crazy. And that's so many people. And this was like, uh, yeah, just every little laugh lasts longer the big laughs last way longer right um and it just you could feel even though it's dark you could just feel like i'm in a big room like this is a big space you know just the way the sound reverberates and i don't know it was cool i did that little like video that i posted and i was so nervous for that i wasn't nervous to perform you know i did my whole set it goes awesome i'm like guys i want to do one thing like i know as a comedian i'm probably supposed to like play it cool or whatever but

i don't care like this is crazy i've never performed for anything close to this many people yeah is it cool if i do a video with you guys really quick and they seem really excited i was just really genuine with them and so i just said this dumb joke and then flip the camera around and panned it to all of them and yeah i was like really nervous to film an instagram story that was actually you actually did that all right there yes oh i thought i thought I was like really nervous to film an Instagram story. That was actually, you actually did that all right there. Yes. Oh, I thought, I thought it was like two different clips put together. Dang it. You know, Derek said that too. I should have just like turned around, I guess.

Yeah. Cause. Sorry. Yeah. It was great. No, no, no. The sound effect for the table saw was perfect. No, I think I had, I had too clean of a flip around or something, I guess.

The first part looks like your thing that you always do in your Instagram stories oh yeah you make those goofy jokes and so i just thought like oh he did that before the show and then he like filmed this kind of funny thing no i literally delivered that joke that was over way more yeah no it truly was it was real and it was nerve-wracking like i don't like filming my instagram story in front of like one person like i'm gonna wait till they leave right just in front of 2500 people like what have I screwed up? Yeah. Let me do this again. Let me do this again. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry. Mara Largo. Mara Legos. You know it. You know the thing. You guys know it. Line. So anyway, but it was very fun.

Very memorable night. It was just like kind of emotional. It was just like not super emotional, but I think Trey and I were just like, that was crazy. That was awesome. I just felt different. Like that was really cool. Also, Joe, just the nicest guy.

Like I came off stage. Just give me a massive hug like we wanted to hook joe up with tickets and it literally was not an open seat in the house like we're like we want to give you a ticket there's just not one yeah it's like i'll just sneak you in the side that's the best ticket of all yes it was awesome and i came off stage he's giving me the biggest hug and like joe and i aren't necessarily that tight you know but he was like dude i'm so proud of you like that was it was cool to just hug someone when you get done off stage. He's just so nice. My first drive of the day that morning, he's like, dude, you should seriously think about doing a long drive competition.

I mean, that's Joe. I'm like, I don't think I'm near that. I love it. And then I get off stage. He's like, I cannot believe how good that was. You need to be doing this as a career. In the future, you would need to be. I'm like, dude, thank you.

This is awesome. Thank you so much for saying all this. Keep talking. Keep talking. Just chill all the time with me that's awesome it's just fun just very thankful it's a good time glad they keep doing it this week is florida week so it should be fun and then h town tell us about h town uh i met some of your family brad yeah almost didn't i got a little caught up backstage when the show was over so i didn't get out to the lobby as quick as i wanted to and then then even once I did, that's right. I hopped off the stage and I saw your brother-in-law and his wife. Yeah. Catherine's brother, Walker, Walker and Robin, his wife, Robin. I'm trying to find, yeah, he like, he like texted, he like had called me.

that i didn't know you didn't have like some bright colored shirt on that said i'm the act right big wristband guy and but houston's uh ushers were something else um because i mean they were just like i mean it was like clockwork every like 30, a different usher like, hey, we got to go. We got to go. And like the head usher would come and snag like, hey, he's one of the performers. I am so sorry. I'm so sorry. 30 seconds later.

Yo, yo, we got to go. We got to go. Head usher. Hey, that's what I would. Oh, sir. I am so sorry. I did happen like four times. So the head usher just doing a bad job of communicating.

i guess you could figure out a square um this is like a warm color that's tricky dude speaking of warm uh shout out to i'm wearing a jean jacket shout out to the idea'm wearing a jean jacket. Shout out to the idea of transparency. I was not going to tell that fireplace story on the podcast. It was a hilarious story. Which people really enjoyed, first of all. Second of all, it made me realize I think I got some issues with my fireplace. I had it checked out today and it needs some

work. Really? Yeah, which is kind of a bummer. And it was definitely because of my fire that I blazed up there. But luckily, our house is not going to burn down now. So we're going to get it fixed. Okay. I'm glad you got that looked at. So shout out to all the ghosties who are concerned about me.

We're looking out for you. They're like, funny story, but that actually sounds kind of dangerous. I would have that checked out. So I don't know about chimneys. Hey, the guy came by today. He was like, yeah, this thing and this thing. And I'm like, what does that mean? Can you explain it again? Yeah. It was like one of those classic, like the mechanic came by today. He was like, yeah, this thing and this thing. And I'm like, what does that mean? Can you explain it again?

Yeah. It was like one of those classic, like the mechanic kind of things. Like, yeah, your carburetor and the girders and the rotary, you know, you're going to want to get the axles, you know, rusted out. Three, four slug nuts. You should have seen. It was like, yeah, it was like seven eights. Looked like Okinawa in there.

That's right. So anyway, um, so shout out to the ghosties and everything else. Uh, Oh, I went to my niece's musical on Thursday. That sounds awful. Uh, my, my sister listens to the podcast. It wasn't awful. The shelves, man. Oh, we get closer to the shelves. That hurts. Um, it, it was not, it was 30 minutes long. So shout out to that big shout out to that but i'll say when i left i thought it's only 6 30 like i didn't feel like it was only 30 minutes long uh no it was it was great it was a pirates theme thing um i the the biggest thing is for me was that the kids weren't singing loud enough okay like just in general like like i don't like you're

not expected as a kid to be able to sing really well. My niece is in third grade. Like I don't, I don't expect those kids to be amazing singers. Okay. But the one thing, and I, I'm not, this is obviously a joke. Like the music teacher is great. Appreciate her as a teacher or whatever. But if I were her, I would hire somebody like big daddy. Okay. Board member come in, you you know hey kids get there 45 minutes early i come in kids are all in the room i pump the heck out of those kids i get them i was like i don't care you hit every single word and you hit it loudly yeah i think those kids could get so much louder if you just so because the last the like the big song they do at the beginning and the end was like bookends was ahoy there argh ahoy there argh i could get those kids screaming that thing

argin up i would i would dress up like a pirate i would come in i'd have a name for myself you know i'd be shiver me shiver me timber and i would just i love that name thank you and i would just pump them up i would probably be like hey secretly i'm gonna be in i'm gonna be in the back you know i'm gonna be in the back and i'm gonna be watching you and i'm gonna do a competition between the quietest walks the plank walks the plank mateys it's going to be a competition between the lassies and the lads i would just i would just i would literally be like we need to see who's going to be louder the boys or the girls yeah camp counselor style yes yeah they would be screaming that thing yeah like it killed me like like you could still hear like the piped in

music you know like on the loud speakers of the gym which is terrible speakers always it's like no those kids need to be screaming that thing this is good i like that you're on the loud speakers of the gym, which is terrible speakers always. It's like, no, those kids need to be screaming that thing. This is good. I like that you're on the K-Life board. This is what you can provide from like a programming standpoint. You get to talk to the staff members once a month or whatever. Hey, walk me through. What are we doing? What are we doing at K-Life on Mondays? What kind of games? How can we make it louder? How can we make it better? Is anything pirate themed? I'd like something to be pirate themed. I would like, I'm not budging on the pirate theme. Someone in this called Shiver Me Timber. yes shiver me timber is a good skit character

yeah shiver me i would my skit character would be jack arrow or jack's paro yeah jack sorrow yeah uh really sad pirate we did a pirate theme or a skit that one time lucky lucky the pirate that's right yeah i i think i've talked about this before on the podcast but archery not a fun class to teach at canada pretty boring it's like axoring you do it twice like i get it yeah i got it but i would dress up like i was peter malark i would read excerpts from the hunger like i had the hunger games with me at camp so i was reading it and so i'm going to read excerpts from the battle scenes love it and get them all fired up that's fun yeah you do the same thing you have sailing class that can be fun or not fun but if you dress up like a you go to the skit closet just just two minutes before you put

on a pirate hat put on an accent yep memory maker that's what it's all about it was almost like required at k country to do stuff like that like yeah you got judged pretty hard if you didn't dress up like robin hood for archery it's like what are you doing really you're going to bb and you're not wearing army like stuff it's fatues. Like, cause our kids were seven, you know, they, they got to shoot the BB gun once because it was so hard for them to pump it. Oh, gosh. So imagine archery, like they can't pull back the arrows, you know, did, uh, have I ever told you about recon class? Do you know about that? That sounds kind of familiar. It was a thing that was not part of the curriculum at any point as like an elective you could take but some guy forget his name now

started it um it's just like this thing is you know whatever but he would take kids and like yeah we're doing recon class and it was just like i don't know like quote unquote just like weird manly things right he would like uh and it was honestly really cool like he would spend his off period catching fish and then he would take chicken wire and like set that up in like a shallow end of the lake and then have all the fish there. That's cool. And then for recon class all day, catch fish with your bare hands. Let's go.

Was the class. Yeah, it was awesome. Yeah. So yeah, that was a fun one to really get into. That's what I'm always like uber impressed. Like I definitely have creative bones in my body, but there were some people that literally like adventure was the same thing. Like, yeah. Like it was like literally like, Hey, an hour of adventure. And any kid that wants to, can just roam around the camp with you and you just have to like find fun things for them to

think of something. And I like, to me, that is overwhelmingly hard for me. Like, I'm like, I, I can't, I can't get that parameters. Yes. If it's like, let's make a game with three soccer balls on the football field. Like I can figure that out. Okay. But if it's like let's make a game with three soccer balls on the football field like i can figure that out okay but if it's like just roam around anything goes fine yeah figure out what these kids want to do i don't know these kids you know whatever but speaking of that my old adventure buddy who i always taught her with kevin smith was at the dallas show so good to see smitty yeah okay shout out smitty i like him from the little i know about him that's fun yeah he's really great dude speaking of robin hood kind of, we watched Robin Hood for our Friday Night Movie Night this week.

You would have thought it was the, you know, what's, I don't know, some comedy special. Like it was like, you would have thought it was the funniest movie ever. Like genuine, like dying laughter from Hattie and Bo. Really? Just could not stop laughing at this thing. And I think Bo was probably just feeding off Hattie's energy. Yeah. But Hattie was loving it. Like just like every single thing she'd be like, oh look

at that! How you doing? Because like there's one time where like this like hen, like the woman hens like running around like she's like playing football but she's like stiff-armed and all these people. She thought that was so funny. That is funny. And the rhinos that like got shifted from like their big castle and they were like running all around.

Oh, man, the whole thing. So who knew that Robin Hood was the comedy of the future? It's a comedy classic. Yeah. So you said the word Uber impressed and it reminded me. I much like last week when I said there's nothing better than being near you at a blackjack table. I found a new scenario that I'd like to be nearby you with. OK, because I've started doing this thing where, um,

I may have mentioned before where we typically don't tell our Uber drivers or whatever that we're the performing, it's just more fun to just like say whatever. But lately it's been, been getting worse. Uh, like, like we got an Uber from the venue,

uh, in Houston. Cause we were staying at a hotel at night. The bus went away. And so the guys like, uh, picking up from the venue. Do you guys see a show okay thus the Jake Triplett improv show begins love it and uh it's so fun and I it's always just me kind of carrying it like man I wish

I wish Brad was here like oh what show did you see uh we saw this comedian what's his name uh Terry what was his name I don't know some guy you know that's the thing these youtubers yeah they get this big following and they think they can just do comedy right just like that yeah and it was not good and then you're like really and i would say like specific jokes like even jokes that i said yeah this guy did a bit about this what was he does that sound funny to you i love that. And then just making fun of yourself. Yeah. Yeah. And this guy has no clue. And then also, uh, we had our golf clubs with us because yeah, we were like staying that night. And so he's like, what's, uh, what were the big bags? You guys, I thought maybe you guys were in the show and we're like,

no, no, no. I would be terrified to go on stage. Um, he's like, Oh, I thought maybe they were like, uh, music instruments or something like that and i was like oh no we are we were far from musicians but if i was it would uh it'd be piano because that seems very easy to play just like roasting alan and um and they aren't getting into it at all it's mainly yeah it's just like uh so that was like a moment where i was like man if brad was here oh we'd be having so much fun because i always feed off the energy of the other person too like i'm like whatever you're gonna do like like the driver you know i mean like are you into this all right let's keep going yes let's let's figure this out

or yeah just like absolutely make fun of everybody else in the car like yeah i mean we did bring those big bags they're actually instruments actually that we play that we were hoping they would sign they're kind of jerks about it, though. Because we forgot our Sharpies. What kind of world is that? Is it about wristbands? I don't know. I don't know. That's fun. Someday, Jake. Someday, we'll be in an Uber together and we will have a completely different life.

It's going to be awesome. It is awesome. Should we do shout-outs? Or what? Yeah, I only have one shout-out that I can think of right now. Shout-out to my brother-in-law Brooks, not Walker. What? What? Yeah. I only have one shout out that I can think of right now, but. Okay. Shout out to my brother-in-law, Brooks, not Walker. Who I met.

What did we get laughing at so hard this week? Oh, Abby, who is sitting further away than, I guess all these funny things start with Abby just piping up and saying something. Oh man, with the replay?

Further away than anyone. I got so frustrated with Abby. But you getting genuinely frustrated is what made it funny because you weren't trying to be funny. And Abby's just like so far away from the TV. Ah, that didn't touch him. What are they challenging it for?

And Brad and Isaac sitting four feet from the TV like, yes, it did. I was like, oh, like there's no way that touched him. Like, why are they challenging this? I was like, yes, it did. It absolutely did. And they're like looking at the same replay. I am like, where did it touch him? I was like, right there on the foot.

Right there. I was like, I'll bet you. I think I said, I'll bet you $5,000. That's what I said. I'll bet you $5,000. That's what I said. I'll bet you $5,000. Someday they're going to say yes to that.

Well, I mean, any guy with 11 fingers is gotta be fun to hang out with. Yeah. I mean, the, the guy's literally the life of the party. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. He always went there to lend a helping hand and an extra finger. And he still has an extra finger for anybody that doesn't like him.

Um, what do you feel like is his greatest strength? Besides his extra finger, I would say his willingness to, um, provide, um, paste, um, pasteurized milk.

Yeah. He was like our milk man growing up. Right. Um, and he did it. He, he didn't take a single dime. He did it just out of the kindness of his heart.

Take a single dime. Not even one dime. I tried to give him dimes. You know, I would drop dimes, you know, just to say like, Oh,

sorry. Oh, we were on the same basketball team. Nope. Not for him. Uh, yeah, I'd say his willingness to serve milk. Yeah. I mean, just, um, just a milky same basketball team. Nope, not for him. Yeah, I'd say his willingness to serve milk.

Yeah. I mean, just a just a milky guy in general. What's one thing about him that not a lot of people know? Oh, this is fun. Yeah. Tell them about third grade. OK, so in third grade, it was it was World History Day. Right.

It was a cloudy day. It was. Yeah, I remember being cloudy um people were dressing up as in all sorts of things there was george washington carver fdr there was fdr there was george washington chicago we chicago we was there george dressed up as adolf hitler which can you blame him no because his dad did look a lot like him his dad spitting image of dolph right yeah yeah we called him little adolf and it was it was like kind of like he didn't know it was fine it was weird when he started like giving the speech and it was sounding i was like this is in german so this is a little scary

now my heart rate's getting up but um it was it was insanely accurate yeah yeah it became a red flag a few months later when it was animal day. Well, it became a red flag when he literally brought a red flag. Right. That was what did it for me on a history day. But a couple months later on animal day, he was just obsessed with being, he dressed up as a dolphin. Like, oh, you're a dolphin. He said, no, I'm a Dolph.

I'm a Dolph. I'm a Dolph. And I was like. I'm a Dolph in costume. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, no, you're a Dolph in. And he just was like, no, I'm a Dolph. I'm a Dolph over and over and over It was like, no, you're a dolphin. And he just was like, no, I'm Adolf.

I'm Adolf. Adolf. Over and over and over. So there's something most people know about him. And then he told me to hit a girl. He's like, yeah, Hitler. Hitler. Hitler.

And remember you said it was a cloudy day? You know, I ended up falling from the sky. Mm-hmm. Hail. Yes, it did. Okay, two more questions from George, for george what is one of your favorite memories with george probably just the first time we kissed oh yeah surprised myself when i said that first implying there's multiple so no so george's mom is hispanic yes oh no i'm sorry french and

they greet each other with a kiss. Yeah. And so, you know, you've hung out with George plenty at school. Several dozen times. Growing up, you had PE class together. You changed in front of each other even. My gosh. And never did you kiss. Nope. Um, but then I think your dad was doing like a big sales conference, um, out in, was it Poughkeepsie? Um um it was out in pop kipsy and it was during november it was like because like end of year sales conference they've wrapped up their sales you know q4 sales so they're doing this um sales conference but it happened to be over thanksgiving and so george's like hey man my mom makes a mean thanksgiving turkey do you want

to come over and you're like I would love to come over. You get there. First thing they do is they say, welcome to the Paris of the Plains. Bonjour. And you've never felt friendship like that from George Ditto. Right? Is that how it happened? That's how it happened.

Okay. And this one is just very open into this last question any extra funny things or memories about him exclamation point any funny or what things extra funny extra funny things or memories or memories uh most people don't know george is the one who gave me my root canal he gave it to you yeah it was just he's it was i was he was just he had lying on his shelf he like, I'm not using this thing. Here, have it. Here, thank you. Yeah, that's what he called the remote as he started to lose it

No. You want me me give you more hints sure middle east or no nope middle west nope west west yep uh that is spokane washington maybe yeah actually yeah um i think so it's it's like the eastern part of washington okay so

northeastern part of Washington second guess not bad that is pretty good 509 409 is the cleaner right yeah it's fine she's so fine yeah it's fine

okay cool what should we do now let's do some voice memos we got some good ones hi Jake and Brad this is Esther from Oklahoma City What should we do now? Let's do some voice memos. Okay. We got some good ones. Hi, Jake and Brad. This is Esther from Oklahoma City, aka Esty, your bestie. I was just calling to say I'm so proud of you guys.

Jake, I saw you obviously in Oklahoma City last weekend in your show, and I just could not stop grinning from ear to ear just because I was so proud. Um, and I have to say, I thought you were funnier than Trey hot take, uh, but you didn't hear it from me. So anyway, I just want to say, I'm so proud of both of you guys. Great. Um, and I'm just so glad to know you. My question is when you're coming up with a comedy set or even when pastors are thinking of messages, when they have illustrations, how much do you think is real versus just something that they've made up to make a point? Maybe that's a secretive thing and you don't have to answer if it is.

But anyway, love you guys. Bye. Bye. Bye. Esty. Esty. She texted me this week and said, Brad, your impression of me is so wrong. It's 100% wrong or something like that. What? It probably is, but that's what makes it funny. Yeah. For the record,

anytime I impersonate her, it is me joking. But she definitely makes those noises, but she's being goofy when she makes the noises. Yeah, it's not like... Huh? Yeah, like she's being goofy. It's not like that's how she talks all the time. So I love... Esther's one of my favorite people in the whole world.

Yeah, it was really good to see her when I got to. She's just so... I don't know. Everything about... She's so caring. Pretty warm. Yes, but like, yeah, in the most genuine way possible. She's like very warm.

Not a fake warm. It's like charcoal. Yes, very good. Very a fake warm. It's like charcoal. Yes. Very good. Very good. Charcoal Kim. Let's be careful about the warm puns right now when I don't have a working fireplace, please.

Right. And I have a blind woman to see next week. That's right. Who doesn't even know what warm is. She can't feel. She's a little slow. That's a fun question, Esther. I don't know.

What are you, what are your, what's your answer on this? Uh, I think this is, I mean, based on no data, but whatever I'll say,

I bet pastors make up more than comedians when it comes to illustrations. I would. Yeah. Interesting. Just in my experience, I just think that there's no way that we networked perfectly for the gospel. Yeah. That thing that happened to you today. And it happened. Yeah. It happened yesterday. Huh?

You've been practicing this sermon all week. And that happened yesterday. And that is exactly, I mean, that is, I mean, almost word for word what you had later for reconciliation. Huh? I, yeah. Okay. Which I'm not against it. I I'm all about like, I'm against it. Really? I, I like it. I think I want to laugh at a sermon. I want like, I like that style. So I'm all about like, I'm against it. Really? I like it. I think I want to laugh at a sermon. I want like, I like that style. So I'm not opposed to it, but I guess I'm, I'm against it only because I always just want to believe everything people say. And so it's like, stop, like, like I, because in my head, it's just way more impressive

if it's true. Like, like, yeah, you could make up any story and like, make it work for your narrative. You know, like you're saying pastors or comedians that just doesn't seem very hard like then you just have to think about something funny like whereas like no i'm gonna take what actually happened to me and make it and use that yeah yeah yeah that's like like i don't know i guess to an extent if you have a few things sprinkled in that's not that bad but if it's like the whole set is like you making up like stuff because your life isn't that interesting that's lame yeah you know i yeah i hear you um i just think from like let's say you're planning to do two different things it's way harder i think to fabricate

something out of thin air that's supposed to be very funny than it is to just fabricate something out of thin air that needs to prove a point because you already know the destination yeah you already know how it's supposed to end like oh i need the guy in the end to come back around you know you're doing a prodigal son thing it's like oh i just need the guy who goes away for all to come back and be thankful sure i can come up with a metaphor for that but as far as like i need something to be funny okay make up something out of thin air that's funny you know anything i say in my set i think you'd be shocked at how much is true um which i don't think that's that normal but it's probably because i'm just starting comedy.

It's like I'm not that good at joke writing yet. So I just telling you things that actually happen to me. That's what I like about it. Sorry. Go ahead. Thank you. I'm interrupting. No, you're totally fine.

Interject. Yeah, that's what I like about it, because then, you know, like if you make it to like sometimes you can tell something's like that's not probably I was in an Uber today. No, you aren't. Yeah. No, you aren't like it's like. And then if you ever do realize that those people are making it up, it's like, oh, that's not as funny. You know, like to me, and maybe there's like a little bit of a moral thing with like, uh, pastors lying.

It's like, ah, I don't know if I should, if you should lie. Sure. Like maybe just say like, I heard a story once that that's just as powerful, you know, or whatever. I heard an illustration once that this, this, and this, I thought of an illustration once it was on Monday. Here's how it goes. Yeah. Rather than being like my son and I were driving home from our baseball game yesterday. And he looked at me and said, dad, there was a man on the side of something just feels wrong with my life. There's something missing. Yeah. 12 year old boys are very bold and very well spoken in most illustrations. Right. And I just have very intentional conversations with them every single time in the car together. All the time. Wow. This pastor is a really good dad. He gets the most out of his son. Right. And I just have very intentional conversations with them every single time in the car together. All the time. Wow. This pastor is a really good dad.

He gets the most out of his son. Exactly. His son is like aware of his sin. I mean, that's what, I guess that's what happens when you're a pastor. So I'm going to be a pastor. I should do it. I'm going to quit my job. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't, I don't like the idea of pastor doing that. It actually came up today. We were at the pro shop and Peter goes, Jake, did you actually have eight dogs? And I go, no, we had five i just kind of remember the titans thing where it's like oh yeah it sounds better so it's like okay i exaggerated that yeah just a numbers thing uh there's a bit i do in my set where i talk about like i was out to dinner with a girl and she said this where that actually comes from it's just like i saw that several times as an instagram caption and it annoyed me

but i think it's funnier to be like, rather than like, I was looking at Instagram the other day because then it feels like, yeah, like I'm just complaining about the Internet rather than like this is something said someone said to me in person. That's good. So that's about as fabricated as I get. There's not it's just hard to come up with something out of thin air. That's like funny. It's just way easier to be like, what are some actual bad dates I've been on?

What are some actual things that have happened to me with my phone and autocorrect or whatever? Because then you don't have to be like, I think that's believable. Like, you don't have to think that. That's such a good point. Yeah, you're just like, oh, I mean, whether they believe it or not,

this is how it happened. So like I got my favorite comedian is Nate Borghese and I believe everything he says, especially now that we know, like you can look up the Serpentarium thing. Yeah, yeah. It's crazy.

It's like, wow, that would all happen. That really happened. That's so cool. Like anytime he like talks about arguing with his wife. I don't, I don't think he's making that up. And I've heard his friends talk about the time that he went hiking and he saw the dead horse. Like he's like, you can ask him any, like I saw him on a podcast. He's like, yeah, I was there when he saw the dead horse. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. And that's like, that's like

kind of outlandish, like to talk about those funny things, but at the same time, it's like, it makes it's believable like yeah so that's a fun question esther i don't know the answer jake obviously knows a little more do you know well do you know how much trey makes up versus truth uh i'm also shocked at how much his is true too like that's why i assume like all of it's true yeah i think that's yeah i don't know if it's because we're beginners or if that's just like the new age of internet culture like rather be relatable than just like good joke tellers but right i know his parents actually did go to like a uh like a whooping class like their church provided a class like how to how to whip your child how to spank your baby

like that actually happened which i think that's so funny and yeah yeah so yeah a lot of his is pretty true too he has this funny bit that it's not working that well i think it's so funny maybe he'll work on it but like his like sister like someone in his family or something like maybe just like a close personal friend they have a um um a dog that they've spent thousands and thousands of dollars on like the breeder and then getting it fixed and then oh it's had this issue it's had surgery thousands thousand dollars and the dog's name is penny like just it's an actual thing it's just so beautifully ironic in real life and i think it's so funny like, I feel like the crowd doesn't appreciate it. I'm like, that's awesome.

I don't think he even did that one in Kansas City. Yeah, he hasn't really been doing it. Oh, really? Yeah. I took it out because it wasn't appreciated. Yeah, that's pretty good. So yeah, a lot of his is pretty true, too, which is fun. That's a fun question, SD.

Thanks, SD. Also, real quick, I saw legendary shots has tagged you in a reel. Remember them? Yeah. Here's the video, guys. It's me in slow motion getting a leaf blower Right on the ellipse and then they throw a water balloon in my face and that actually hurt pretty bags It didn't pop and my lips were exposed Didn't pop I knew Jake back when he's doing legendary shots. He's doing slow-mo water balloon videos. Yeah, I'll do it. Yeah sure whatever

I'm just not remembering. Because we have a Columbus show in like a week and a half. Oh, wow. Finally get to meet the Swicks. Okay. I'm so excited. How far? Where's Columbus? I don't know

where Columbus is. Middle East somewhere. That's close enough? I think it, yeah, I don't know. I want to say like central Ohio, like towards the middle. Okay. Do you think that's good? I think that sounds nice. Good enough for me. I don't know. Okay. Oh, I think I also agreed to play golf with Joel trainer that day. Yes, you did. Joel trainer. Is it going to be even somewhat warm that day? Yes, it is. Middle East. Ohio is very warm. Late November. It's known for being balmy in November. Oh, the balmy state.

Yeah. Yeah. They have a lot of presidents and very balmy November weather. That's their thing. No, they say balmy. They like literally the ball. Play football, basketball, anything you want. Akron, Ohio. LeBron. Balmy. One of the answers to our football game the other day was somebody went to Akron. Don't remember who, but a good receiver sometime back in the day. TJ Hushmanzada.

Oregon State. Wow, really? Yeah. How fun is that? Good for you. Thanks. Brad, do you have anything else on your Christmas list besides Kinsey shirts? I actually have a birthday slash Christmas list besides Kinsey shirts? Um, I actually, I have a, I have a birthday slash Christmas list cause my family's like that.

So I was going to look at my Christmas list real quick. And okay. I think most of the things I want are clothes because I kind of, I always around this time, I always try to like analyze my life and what I want. And I always realized I don't really need slash want anything. I'm pretty content with my life, but I can always use more clothes to wear to church,

Kinsey or nice. I like, I like clothes for church. I'm pretty content with my life, but I could always use more clothes to wear to church, Kinsey or nice. I like, I like clothes for church and I like clothes to fall asleep comfortably in. So any, anything that has elastic waistbands is great. Joggers are awesome. Any kind of hoodies, elastic waistbands.

I want a new Nalgene water bottle. I want some new Jefferson Bethke books. Oh, diva. Um, diva, um, but not body wash, uh, detergent.

I love that stuff. Yeah. If you guys, if you guys want to pamper yourself slash somebody else, get some diva for Christmas. Like they're gonna be like, why'd you get me laundry detergent? It is the best smelling detergent you'll ever experience in your life.

Funny. You mentioned that I've been thinking about using fabric softener recently. Have you? I'm like, I'm a homeowner now. I'm about to have a headboard. Would I like to add fabric softener to the mix? So you're doing the same thing in your life, like where you're like trying to find different things you need.

Just like I am like, I need a new birthday. You're like, I could use fabric softener. Like where can I improve my laundry game? What's this fabric softener everyone's talking about? What's the old FS I'm hearing about? Here's the deal. Like once you get married, I have no idea what Catherine's throwing in my clothes. I have no idea how she doesn't need that stuff. Awesome. It is pretty awesome. You haven't done laundry in like a couple of years. What do you say? Every once in a while I'll do it if she's gone to stay

fresh or if, if like I, I never ask her to do my laundry. Like it just happens. It just happens. Like I never, I never want to be the guy. I don't want to be the husband's like, Hey, our laundry baskets getting full. I probably shouldn't say never i'm sure i have done that before yeah i don't want to be the guy that's like hey did you notice that bathroom's really dirty like if it's bothering me that much i'll do it yeah but most of the time i just try to wait because i don't want to do laundry very much and she's great at it which whatever that's kind of patronizing because how hard is it to do laundry but but she's but honestly she is amazing at folding laundry there

is a difference between people that know how to fold and don't and somehow she does um but yeah she does the laundry that's one of her one of her things okay well so i don't know what we do but i know when we get diva and it smells so good like like literally there's clothes that i'm wearing uh like for the first time because it's fallout and I have like, you know, longer sleeve clothes. I have more that have diva on them from last year and they still smell amazing. Diva. Oh, D. Oh, D. Anyway, Kinsey, I think I just want something for my new house.

Whatever that may be for you. A fun rug. Oh, welcome, Matt. Yep. Silly spoons. Silly straws. Silly straws. What else goes in a house? Oh, you're a big cereal guy. Yep. Silly spoons, silly straws, silly straws. Uh,

what else goes in a house? Um, Oh, you're a big cereal guy. Maybe a good bowl for cereal, cereal bowl, the best cereal bowl you could think of. Yeah.

Like that's like, as I get older, I just want really nice versions of normal things. Like I just want like the best, like, like the best cereal bowl ever probably costs $15, but I just, it's, it's your bowl.

It's intentionally for cereal. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like I just want that. I want, I want the best pin you can ever think of. That's $7. Great.

Great. Yeah. That's, that's what I want. That's what you have to look forward to when you're older. Kinsey. Yeah. Enjoy the play set while you got it.

Also Kinsey, have you heard of play set while you got it. Also, Kinsey, have you heard of Calico Critters? Cause Hattie's really into them right now. Were you there the other night when she was showing those to Gunner? No. Like it's like classic. I just love little kids and like remembering all the things about little kids. Like Hattie's like so into fish sticks, like loves fish sticks. Like I forgot about fish sticks until I had a kid and it's like fish sticks are awesome. Um, but no, like you remember when you were a kid and you look at like, uh, magazines and you know, whatever, like catalogs for gift guides and stuff. Like, so there's like this Calico critters, like all these different little animals that like have their own little play areas and stuff. And she was showing Gunner,

like, like a literal piece of paper with all these things she wanted for like her birthday and Christmas and stuff. And just like, yeah, just like those little joys that you don't think about anymore. But like back in the day, do you remember like, Oh yeah. Yeah. Or like, did you ever circle them or anything? Oh yeah. For my grandma. Yeah. Yeah. Circle like the circuit city. Right. The, uh, my, my, uh, ants would always do black Friday shopping. And so for Thanksgiving, we would always like look at like the huge ads that they would have and like circle them and give them to my aunts or something like, yeah, I kind of want one of these things, you know, something like that. But yeah, anyway. All right. Let's do one more. If you would like. Hello, my name is Amanda Kearney. I'm from Branson, Missouri. Go Pirates.

I know you. So I've been listening to this podcast for a while now, but I haven't listened from the very beginning. So I went back and I listened to episode one the other day. And on it, you guys were talking about Jake's future wedding. And Brad was like, Jake, I would hope I was your best man. And so that got me thinking, Brad, what would you say at Jake's wedding? What would you say for your best man speech? And if you would be willing to, since most of us won't be invited to jake's wedding in the future if he has one okay would you improv his speech if you already have it planned don't get it don't give everything away but i think that'd be fun yeah thank you loving the

podcast keep some stuff all right yeah i'll edit out that part i know you've got like a 500 word essay prepared keep some of it for the wedding oh i love the idea of her thinking i haven't played she's like i know guys pretty well they're they plan stuff out like this like especially stuff like this there are a few weeks ago that brad couldn't even remember what he did like two days ago but i bet he's got a document that where he just like has all this free time and just write stuff down and he's gonna have trouble knowing what to say on the podcast and what to say for the wedding. Especially because I'm nowhere near a shoe in for best man.

I think there are plenty. Like Jake knows way too many people. I mean, look at Joe. Joe's creeping out. Joe's giving me new golf clubs. What have I ever given you? Yeah, I've never hugged you after a show. I gave you a pat on the butt. And then you said, hey, good job. I said, whoa, what's wrong

with your voice? I lost it. I've just been cheering, man. That's all you got up there though. That's right. Um, that's a fun question. I, I don't, I don't know. Like, like the best man speeches and like the idea of best man speeches. Like I take that like, like sentimentality. I'm such a sentimental guy. That'd be really hard for me to like make it a mockery out of it. Like, I take that like, like sentimentality. I'm such a sentimental guy. That'd be really hard for me to like, make it a mockery out of it. Like, I think I would just want to like be genuine and like be very kind to my friend, Jake. Like, I think the older I get, I feel the same way too. Yeah. It's like, we laugh enough together. This is like a big day, but the hard thing, like, like I remember my friend Logan got married and, uh, you know, I was one of three groomsmen. And so there was no best man. Like

we were all, we all gave speeches and the first two went and they were like friends from like high school and college. And, you know, then there was me who had known Logan. So like seventh grade. And so I get up there and everyone's like, Oh, here we go. Get ready to go. And I'm just like, crap. I just want like really nice things down like i'm just gonna tell him like how i he like you know is a mode like an inspiration to me in my spiritual walk and like like i don't know what to say about this you know whatever uh sometimes you get those moments where the anticipation is so high that it's so easy i feel like like so i haven't known uh you know alex for super long and like that is getting a lot like oh this is gonna be easy this is awesome

like these people want to laugh so they're just hungry for it yeah yeah so i don't know i would do more than just like like there's there's a standard uh format i feel like these days of like how'd you meet and then uh telling old story an old story maybe talking about the bride and how like oh i remember the first time he talked about you or like the first time I met you, you were super comfortable with everybody. It's like, okay, that's of course you are. Cause you're, you're getting married to him. So like you should be comfortable, but like I would, I would dig a little deeper there maybe. But for the most part, I think I would just be very kind to Jake and just say like, these are the things I really love about Jake. These are things I'm excited to see Jake do in the future in his marriage and his family, you know, heaven, you know, God, God willing, if he can have some kids and he's 45 years old.

So I don't know how much longer he's got. Uh, but, um, you know, we used to, we used to debate whether or not he's a redhead or not. We can see that he's now a silver Fox. So no, I don't know. Awesome. Um, but yeah, I don't think I have any like great humorous things. I'd probably, I'd probably talk about like, I might, I might, I might make fun of you a little bit. Like when I first met you, you like cared nothing about your fashion at all. Like I can't, I can't emphasize that enough. It was rough.

I genuinely tell me if I'm wrong, but I think you literally would go like to like when you were getting something to wear and you would see the first shorts and the first shirt and just put them on. It was pretty close to that. Like you'd wear like an orange shirt with like, I don't know, like red pants. It's been done before. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or something like, like just like, like there's no way that he's trying to like match or look cool at all. Right. It was like how Adam Sandler dresses now. Yeah. I was dressing like five years ago. And I'm not like, like, and it was like how adam sandler dresses now yeah that's how i was dressing like five years ago and i'm not like like and it was it was in its own way cool but it was like yeah that's jake and now you know like like i would probably talk about stuff like that like yeah like i'm pretty sure maybe i'm just making fun of you at this point but i'm pretty sure you used to sleep with

no sheets on your mattress me in the mattress baby and now you're getting a headboard like that's a huge deal for you you know like yeah i went a long time just me in the mattress yeah i'm sure and i'm sure katherine could think of 15 more examples of that kind of stuff you know so anyway i would probably talk a little bit that might be my my warm-up is like yeah look how far jake's come uh-huh you know and you know basically saying like you domesticated this man and now he's going to get this man now he's going to uh be your great husband so that's a fun question it's fun to think about yeah i was yeah it's going to be interesting to see as you get older like obviously you're not married until at least 30 and like are you going to do some of the goofy things that you had the idea of when you were

21 of like when i get married i'm not doing that yeah i'm gonna do this thing instead i still feel pretty strongly about some things like i want people to leave and like man i'm glad we went right that ceremony was different that was a show yeah i can't believe he rappelled down like that you know something like that i want that to be a sentence on the way back i can't believe i don't know he's that flexible how many months did it take to train the dog to do that you know do you think he knows those koreans personally yeah are they part of the acrobats of asia yeah those doves i didn't know they could make doves that color i thought my parents could talk back to you that was crazy

yeah those are the sentences i want yeah on the way back from my wedding how'd they get usher to be an usher that's good like you you'd be, instead of bride or groom, you'd be peace up or A-town down? Peace up or A-town down. Okay. And how do you know George Ditto?

What was your favorite thing about him? Yeah, that's who I'm in competition with for the best man is George Ditto. He gave me root canal. Yeah.

I mean, the guy gave me his root canal. I mean, the guy, I just got a DM from Trey. Why is he not texting me? Hey, let's do 9 a.m. tomorrow. Quick fireball reshoot, then head to the airport. Guy's working me to the bone.

I tell you what. I got to shoot for a fireball. That is funny they DM'd you. I don't know. I don't know what he's up to. All right, let's get to some of our, thank you for all the voice memos, you guys. Let's get to our reviews of the week.

My review of the week is called Not About Ghost Hunting from Ashley K123. I've listened to the Correct Opinions podcast for a while. Oh, this is the wrong review. Excuse me. I'm just kidding. I've listened to it for a while and heard Jake mention this podcast before, but based on the name, I never listened.

Assuming Jake was a comedian, just also very into ghost hunting. That's fair. But being caught up with CO, I wanted more Jake. We all do. So I gave it a try and was very pleasantly surprised. 0% about ghosts, 100% about a good time. I honestly like it more than correct opinions. Their chemistry is so great and Brad

is just so dang lovable. I'll even give him a pass on the cardinal sin of being a grown man who drinks milk. Oh, we get milk shamed all the time not not gonna not gonna let it bother me no i mean we got our milk from george he's a good guy that's right otherwise love these guys and have binged them for 40 binge them first 40 episodes i'll binge them first 40 episodes uh and simultaneously throw laughs so many more to listen to and bummed it took me so long to join the ghosties

you're gonna figure out that Jake also really likes milk yeah big milk guy yeah so thank you Ashley K123

I don't know if we ever talked about this on the podcast but for Scott's birthday this summer it was summertime right that was that was

that was not good pretty warm pretty warm day and we're playing pickleball Scott brings crumble cookies for everybody. We're at like a sports bar. And I say, do you guys have milk?

And yes, they did. Oh, yeah. Two big old glasses. Huge glasses. In between pickleball games. Just slamming. We recorded an episode after that. My goodness.

We're dedicated. We are good. Next week's going to be tough. We'll knock it out, though. My review comes from William M. Butlicker. He gave me a lot of other potential intros for my shows, which I liked. I've started doing them, started giving Alan options. And then I don't know which one he's going to do.

OK, like I find out as he says it, which is kind of fun. But it says he is an ultimate smack. He is in an ultimate smackdown between crippling despair, loneliness and depression. I don't think that one would be as funny to say. That was not going to make the cut. It gets better. He's always wanted to, but can't quite grow that unibrow jake trump uh felines everywhere are drawn to his scent that's good his belly button is neither an any nor an outie i think that was my favorite one probably okay um voted most off-brand version

of val kilmer by the city of ashville keeper Keeper of Secrets and Seeker of Quest. I don't get that one. That's what you want to say. That's what people are like, whoa, whoa. And then you come out and just wow them. He is yet to shave another man's sideburns successfully. That's good. You're on the right track.

I like that. Yeah. He only put deodorant under one arm today. And then lastly, he single-handedly invented the Pop-Tart. Single-handedly would go well with put on deodorant on one arm if i only had one that's good he single-handedly put on his prosthetic arm today there's a joke um anyway thank you william butlicker that's fun and all the reviewers have you gotten any feedback on those no i don't think people really notice uh but that's why i've been filming them too so people on the internet can enjoy right i i have a shared document with alan right just upload just like potential intros and just like whatever

one you want yeah surprise me mama have you put any ghosties submissions on there yes i come up with some and then i went to the youtube comments that's so fun so feel free to keep commenting yeah maybe we'll hear yours i think i'll do the any audio on but that the document that's funny uh jake would you like to end this episode with a jingle? I suppose this one's going to be interesting. I've spent so much time rehearsing. Procrastinating on this one. All right, let's do it. Hey, Brad.

Hey. You ever got your mic wet? Every day that it ends in Y. Cool. Well, I'm about to rap. I don't know who wrote this one, but we'll talk about it afterwards. Yo. Yo.

His outfit's steady, green room candy's heavy. Wearing a hospital gown or a t-shirt, no one can tell me. He's got jokes, thought up in the shower while he's scrubbing, ready for one-offs. To find out an old man slamming, got a joke for the local, a joke for the sweaty He opens his mouth and the words just stream out He's jokin' how everybody's laughin' Wow, the clock's run out, time's up over blouse Snap back to the tour bus, oh, there goes Nebraska

I'm done making excuses. I'll make one more for you. The, it was, it was decently written. The line spacing is not, I didn't know where the end of the line was.

That was tough. And I think maybe that's because the song itself had a weird cadence. Anyway. Anyway. Hey, thanks. It doesn't matter. I believe.

Oh, Emily Schmidt. Yeah. Okay. Classic. I got to meet, uh, what's name?

Rachel Phillips. She wrote last week's jingle and I met her like in Dallas or San Antonio or Houston. I don't know. Met her somewhere, but it was fun. I was like, oh, we like just recorded your jingle that you wrote for us like a couple of days ago. That's cool. Yeah.

So that's fun. Oh, just because this is the best way to figure this out. Somebody wrote me a jingle for the song. I think it's called From Now On by the Greatest Showman. And I saw it and I loved it. And I don't remember who you are and I can't find it anymore. So throw us a recent. Yeah. It's easiest if you send it over an email and use the word jingle in there. Cause then I can always research. Yeah. Yeah. But, um, anyway, you want to send it to us is great, but that's the easiest way for us to give it a chance. So cool. This has eminem and wet
