Every day on the tens. Coming at you again, guys. Thanks for tuning in one more jake is my name ah you didn't even that's funny thanks uh anyway um i was gonna say uh yesterday was the day and we got a text jean shorts group text if you guys haven't seen look up look up blue jeans comedy on youtube it's haven't seen look up look up blue jeans comedy on youtube it's great what happens if you look up blue jeans comedy do you think youtube's like did you mean jean shorts yeah for it looks up like the blue collar comedy tour yeah blue jeans

yeah wrong text wrong guy yeah probably um the, the title of the YouTube video is like the brutal massacre inside the mind of 12 year old Isaiah. It's like, yeah, I don't think he meant to send this to us. And no one's really saying anything for a while. The sinister mind of 12 year old Isaiah Fowler. Yeah. So uncovered. And I'm like, what is this? All right. You know, after like an hour, I'd like get done like doing some stuff. So I'm like, all right, let me click on this. And I scroll ahead and I didn't really rewind it that much. I just got right into the heat of it.

And it's this line that's like, uh, we got to pull it up. Yeah. Sorry. I don't have it pulled up. The audio. Yeah. Basically the audio is something just like just as we expected he was a pervert he was it's something like that it's like yeah he was just as sinister as we thought uh

and he was driving a truck when it happened uh Soon afterwards, he did the deed and then he drove away in the truck. And the B-roll that they're using for this YouTube documentary is Brad in his truck. They're using Brad's imagery to just paint the picture of the sinister, gross 12-year-old, apparently. Let's see. A few days later, the same man pulled up in his truck alongside the younger girl and asked her if she wanted to get in. The girl told him no. And then he quickly drove away. It's literally like from the truck guy's video from G shorts would be like pulling out.

So hey, mom. Hey, mom. I made it. I made it. And uncovered. I'm a sinister mind, baby. You're welcome. Little Brad's doing it

Uh oh Ooh I think this tight beat means that it's going down With some random thoughts and white meat too Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat So come along let's have some fun And go ahead get on your feet Cause this is the Ghost Rubs Podcast Ghost Rubs Podcast

Every Monday morning we're taking round Ghost Rubs Podcast it's so funny dude yeah and hopefully you know logical minds will tell you they probably just youtube search truck guy yeah and found you but which hey that's good that we're hitting the algorithm right or what if they searched pervert well what if they search a gross truck it's one of those things where it's like yeah they're trying to reenact the whole thing and i'm watching the rest of it's like pretty well done i'm just watching you know it's a lot of b-roll stuff but it's like yeah this person running in the park and then all of a sudden there's like this pixelized like you can't even barely like make out my face it's really zoomed in and they made it black and white and it's brad and his sunglasses i'm kind of like smiling and pointing like yeah what's up

and then i just pull out really fast what's up 12 year old girl you want to hop in so oh my goodness oh it was so funny just especially you're like i have no idea what to expect out of this video i'm clicking on i think it's the wrong video. And it's Brad. He asked the miner if she'd like to hop in his truck. I mean, it was probably like I've led a very good life. It was probably the most violated I've ever been in my life. When I watched it the first time, I was like, they're painting me out to be this terrible person.

I did have that. I was like, that's not me. I'm like, I understand. Like, and I'm not even thinking twice about anybody else in this video. So I know it's not that big of a deal. But it was released on February 19th. It's already got over 100,000 views on this video. So like...

Great doc. Like they're doing well. It's like a pretty popular thing. The funny thing is that somebody found it and sent it to Trey. Yeah, that's shocking. It's not like Trey's just watching Sinister Mind of 12-year-old Isaiah Fowler in his spare time. As far as we know. As far as we know, as far as we know,

but yeah, 153,000 subscribers from Anna uncovered. Uh, just, just couldn't believe it. I was like, I don't know what to think of this. Like, that's really funny,

but it's also like, Hey, like we're getting some, are we at least going to get some kickback for this? Like, yeah. Can we claim it? Yeah.

Part of our copyright. Good little piece. I think we should. Cause we've never like gotten frustrated when people claim copyright stuff on our videos. Just stick it to Anna. I mean, honestly, it's crazy that her

last name is uncovered. So I see why she got into true crime. That's right. Exactly. It's one of those things where it's like, you have to.

You have to. Yeah. Yeah. Like some guys' names are just too perfect. It's like, you got to go for it. Yeah.

Your last name's Abdul Jabbar. Come on. I mean, that clearly states, you know, tall center for the Lakers. Or pilot. Or movie spoof pilot yeah movie spoof pilot yeah either would work but uh anyway so that was

yesterday uh what were your other days like brad uh other days this week have been just fine just fine uh just it's what about you listen to this listen listen to i just i'm i'm showing that i'm a little bit sick it's like but it's mostly like a wheezing cough that i'm sick which is show me ready this is gonna people are gonna love this cool oh i know exactly where you're at sickness wise it's no fun yeah it's just like like so i've slept in the basement the last couple nights you know just on the floor you know no blankets at all i'm just kidding down there you know it's like brad i saw you on that video you know and uncovered um you're like yeah this is pretty unrelated to the cough well when i get you know when i get sick i get feisty and we have this argument i get very impatient with her i'm just like woman and she's like oh

really go down the basement no so that's why i slept at the basement no uh she has her ways dude this is like i don't know if you want me to talk about this on that now it's fine okay when we were i was trying to help write the the wordle video because i'm still deep in the wordle game yeah yeah and i came up with some joke i was like maybe you could say something like uh all right you came up with fertile you came up with fertile you're like yeah it's an uh it's a it's a word ovulation game helps to know when the missus is ovulating and i was like yeah you maybe could do some joke like instead of five letter word it's a five-day window yeah and you were like actually it's it's it's less than you think it's more like a 24-hour window train i don't really say anything

and you're like right derrick and derrick was like i mean uh i've heard more like 48 and i was like yeah yeah but like i think it's like you, you're really trying like once to like do it, like really like, you know, hit the target on the first one. Then maybe, you know, so the train I were giving Brad a hard time. Like Catherine has told him like, yeah, it's like a once every three month window. So no use in trying that. My OB said once a season. So we already hit winter solstice.

So I think, I think we'll just wait till April. Probably March badness will come around. You'll forget all about it. Uh, so yeah, that was such a funny riff. Just not on camera or anything. Just like Catherine is telling me.

Yeah, I swear guys. It's like, it's like three hours tops, five days. No, I would love five days, five days all year.

Maybe. Yeah, exactly. We've been married eight years and you just swear they're like no katherine's body's just i don't know it's like texas it's like when you're born in a warmer climate it's just different that's what her doctor said i mean that's what she told me her doctor said i don't know i wasn't there for i trust her you know i do i trust her you know in those in those, in those regards. And so, uh, yeah, we had three kids. So you tell me it must be working. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. The 24 hour window. That was, I believe you, but it's just funny. I, I, I love, I love that. Uh, Derek like is truly a supporter when he agrees with you. And I appreciate him for that. Like, like the same thing yesterday we recorded a short and it was like every like everyone who thinks their hometown is unique yeah the sunsets here are

crazy in stockton yeah have you guys had the tacos here the tacos are amazing before you leave you have to try oh you're leaving in the morning no you're not gonna get to try our tacos man but we have great coffee we should put that down like everyone's so proud of their coffee we do have some like cute coffee shops here though. Yeah, like some really great roasteries. Wow, you're going to love it here. So anyway, one of the ones that I was like, like actually the reason that I had the idea for this video

was I was in the airport in Austin, Texas and I heard some guy go, you know, the state bird here is a mosquito. And thinking it was like the most original thing he's ever said to somebody. And I'm like, I've heard that joke a million times. And both Trey and Jake and Derek, all three of you have never like, well, I think you said you heard it once or twice, but it's not a common thing. And I was like, really? I feel like that's like such a thing. Like, oh, you're so creative.

Like we have the worst mosquitoes ever here. And Trey was like zero. And Derek's like, dude, I really want to be on your side. Which is so funny because like you guys are from Southwest Missouri and Oklahoma. Those are peak places to say mosquitoes, the state bird. Oh yeah. There's high schools who their mascot is the West Nile. That's what they go by. Yeah. We're Marshfield West Nile. It's either Delta virus or West Nile virus, you know, either way down there. Um, so yeah, but it was one of those things i think correct opinions people uh they backed you out they backed me up yeah because i brought it up on there and they're like oh i've been hearing that all my i live in eight different states i've

heard in every state i feel so good i was like thank you yeah so and we still put in the video i think it's good enough to put in there um but yeah because derrick yeah it's funny because derrick and i are both very much people pleasers but every now and then we will be honest every now and then every now and then we will be we'll be ourselves around people like once in every like eight times I mean not knowing something I'm like actually I don't know what you're talking about um so which is a good quality thank you probably both both things are good but um yeah anyway I appreciate Derek for being honest and be like Brad I've never heard I I want to be on your side brad i think derek and i have like this bond it's like dads dads yeah we get it like you know we talk about conservative things together sometimes like jake and trey are like

what's i don't even understand like why the gas prices are going up you're like i didn't even know the gas prices were going up must be nice electric car over here like yeah because derek wasn't there yet yeah and so i was like drick derrick will tell you more once derrick gets here he can help explain the keystone pipeline yeah all right cool like when we did that the first time we did the woke parent video you were like it said the rachel i got the rachel maddow rachel yeah and i was like the rachel haircut was like a really big thing like the night no it's a great joke i just didn't know the reference oh and we almost didn't put it in because trey's like no one knows who that is i was like i think a lot of people know who that is yeah you and derrick were like nah i think it's

gonna work yeah yeah um i still i still get the uh the resting witch face i still i'm still upset about the elf of the joke have we talked about the other podcast yeah yeah yeah like i i felt like that was a good one i uh i got to be woke parent again yesterday how did it go uh it was fun it actually i got to use things that we had just talked about the podcast last week you were upset about how people hold basketballs oh yes and so i was like i wish brad was here could tell so he could tell me how to hold it but i really just tried to like hold it in an unathletic way almost constantly just like yeah holding the sides of it or holding the top and bottom of it just never a like comfortable

way to like never just on my hip just like yeah or at my waist little yes yeah right like don't hold a ball way too high it's so normal just put it right here on your hip like okay guys we're gonna run drills team gather around gather around you guys can't see what we're doing but youtube can oh that's perfect um we're pantomiming the daylights out of this basketball but uh it was fun i wore rachel's leggings yeah um which i was talking to my dad about that he's like what are you doing you doing? I was like, oh, I'm headed over Rachel's place. I need to borrow leggings for a shoot tomorrow. He's like, ah, the cross-dressed stuff. I have, I don't know.

That's harder to watch. And I guess he talked to your dad about it. Have you heard about this? No. I guess they were having a conversation. Like, this is crazy what they've built and what they're doing now. And I guess my dad was like, I don't know. I'm still on the fence about the cardigans and the cross-dressing.

And I guess your dad was like, I don't know. I'm still on the fence about the cardigans and the cross dressing. And I guess your dad was like, I don't watch those videos. No way. So they bonded over that. Yeah. He's never mentioned that to me. Oh, daddy Dave, I guess doesn't watch, uh, female influencers. Yeah. That's so funny because like, I think we all have a pretty strong stance on like, we're

never going to put on wigs or. We barely get into it. Yeah. So we put on wigs or we barely get into it yeah so we put on a robe and we call it good we're gonna show yeah we're gonna show you in one way that we have a different character like in any of our videos really it's like hey we're uh you know conservative so i wear some plaid and a hat like yeah we did like boomer versus gen z and i wore a plaid shirt like and i think there's something to that finding that middle ground of like you kind of see what we're going for right it's a youtube video yeah it's not a saturday night live it's just in hollywood we don't have a costumes department yeah not yet yeah not yet trace said he's looking at house tomorrow briarcliff okay should i be saying all

this i don't know that's great he's briarcliff yeah just it sounds fancy it's a big enough neighborhood that people have to drive around a while to find. It's fine. Now it sounds like a challenge. Yeah. Instead of a geocache. The Briarcliff challenge. It sounds like, you know, it'd be a while to find a white 2019 Hyundai Sonata.

It'd take a while to find that. I mean, yeah, with license plate A9F. That reminds me. I took a picture of a license plate the other day and I was like, I think this is Brad's license plate and it's someone else driving it. That seems wrong. Right. You know what? And I'd be willing to say, I think this is Brad's license plate and it's someone else driving it. That seems wrong, right? You know what? And I'd be willing to say, I bet it is.

Is this my van's license plate or truck's license plate? It's the one that's meh. Okay, that's van. Whatever. This is not important enough for me to find. I don't even care about it. But I did take a picture and never send it to you. What are we talking about?

Dressing up? Oh, yeah. That was the film, the shoot of that. yeah i had to say sayonara you did yeah uh it was fun it was a good time it was a little warm though i mean it was like yeah it's like 84 yesterday yeah and i was wearing a beanie a jean jacket and rachel's leggings it was a warm day on it and it was outdoor basketball court that's pretty that's pretty woke of you though to like like sacrifice comfort for like fashion i think thank you and it kind of made sense to one of the first jokes like, guys, we do have outdoor practice because of COVID. Obviously, it's running rampant. Yeah.

So we did that right off the top. And it was fun. I tried to do a decent amount of physical stuff because like I'm wearing leggings and I feel like we're not doing much with me wearing like like let's make sure it's at least a dress that I'm wearing this. So I tried to like do some stretches or at least just like i was trying to be just as unathletic as possible slamming it off the backboard i love it um yeah it's fun there's some good jokes in there yeah i think it's gonna be a weird title like woke coach or something you know but yeah i think if people click on it it's like oh there's some clever stuff in here you know transition defense and yeah you know zone defense there's a whole zone defense. It's like our ozone.

Oh, that's good. Yeah. Wrote that one on the fly. That's good. Anyway, good stuff. Good content. It's going well. Good, man.

What else has been going on? We've been home. You've been home. I've been home. I've been home. What's up for Fargo? Oh, my gosh. It's been so nice to be home.

Gosh. I mean, I used to have barely done anything. Except for Fargo last weekend and Phoenix tomorrow. It's been so nice to be home. Oh, I mean, I barely did anything. Except for Fargo last weekend and Phoenix tomorrow. It's been so nice to be home. Oh, you're leaving tomorrow for Phoenix. Yeah. Holy cow. But speaking of golf, I went to my first ever convention outside of when I shot for the

Scuba Show. Yes, you briefly told me you were going to do that. And so this is the second convention ever. You've never been to like. I don't think I've been to a convention before. They're not worth it. Usually, probably. That's why you don't go to very many.

And yeah, I was like, this is fun because it was my first time and I'm obsessed with golf. I don't know for it. No. Shout out. Nolan got me in for free. Oh, OK. So normally people pay for it.

Yes. Just celebrity status kind of thing. Oh, speaking of that, I forgot about this. I don't even have this written down. Dude, as soon as I walk in the door, I ask Isaac or any of the guys who have Scott Harrison. I mean, as soon as I walk in the door, a ask Isaac or any of the guys over at Scott Harrison. I mean, as soon as I walk in the door, a guy like a price 16 year old kid walks right up to me super confidently. What's up, Jay?

Can I get a picture real quick? I'm like, yeah, what is your and then he is just snapping a picture. And I'm not kidding. Walks off. I was like, no, no correlation. Like, no, I don't know how he knows me. Yeah. And we didn't get to talk.

It was like it was so funny it was like you know a press release went out like hey jake triplet's gonna be short about 12 20 right so be ready as soon as you walk he only wants you to be there for like 15 seconds max with him this kid barely broke stride it was almost like a gen z thing of like that's a power move though i think they're getting used to like there's enough creators and influencers out there that they see them on a somewhat regular basis like yeah hey let's just get a quick pic yeah whereas like 30 year olds are like should i say so i don't know what to say right he's at a coffee shop you know should i bother him i don't know if that's him you know 16 year olds like what's up quick pic thanks dude thanks dude see

you okay what was your he's like doesn't matter what my name is i'll see you later not a big deal he dm'd it to me on instagram later also once again no words just dm me the photo that we took what a power move you know i i like this guy yeah i think that's why we liked rachel at first too yeah limited it's like it's like even one more leave them one more yeah my biggest principle yeah um so that was fun right off the bat yes celebrity status it was a great place to get recognized i recognized several times actually at the golf show interesting um one of the guys like have you ever had this happen before where they they're like dude i watch your videos but that's about all they know and then it's like you you work with do you work with trey kennedy it's like yeah yeah i do i'm like okay okay right right no i've seen those and what's the name of the

other channel you guys have it's like gene schwartz okay yes i love that who's the other guy i love that his name's brad he's one of my good friends i get i'm not bothered by it just funny that happens pretty often because you see so much it's hard to remember are you ready for me to call out somebody that maybe is like uh well okay it's my mom no no no my dad doesn't watch half my videos um no uh the guy so like two or three weeks ago i said like hey whoever made our theme song if you don't mind like contacting us yeah did you see the dm about this no no no okay so did never get a contact so the reason i wanted the theme song uh file is because we wanted to make like a longer version of it to go with our f12 intro which didn't end up getting it's fine uh it used up or use something

else but um you know i i sent out the bat signal for this. I was like, please just let me know. I forgot your name. I thought it was Grayson Inman. Shout out. It was not you Grayson, but you're still a good guy. Um, good guy though. And I mean, I was trying to figure out any way I could to like find this thing. It could not find it. Um, and so like maybe like four or five days after F12 got a DM on Ghostbusters podcast on Instagram and it said, Hey, uh, my husband is the one who wrote your theme song. Uh, and he is just the biggest fan of you guys. Um, and so I was wondering if maybe, uh, you could let us know, or what is she, it's like,

she, she, she said something like, uh, I was wondering if you guys could uh get us tickets to your uh tour that you're going on and i'm like i don't know if you guys are our biggest fans if you didn't hear that we wanted you specifically we called you individually we needed you we needed you and you didn't you weren't listening and then you think that i'm on tour with jake like we are not going on tour together we did one show. We want to come to your tour of Plex pods. Are you going around Plex pods across the country? You know, just co-working spaces like any and every. I screenshotted it.

I was going to send it to you. It was just funny. It's one of those things where like, I am so appreciative, obviously, of the guy that made our beat for our theme song. So I don't want to seem like a jerk. No, it's funny. I mean, just like irony is funny. Like in principle, like objectively a funny thing. The firehouse burns down. That's kind of funny.

Okay. I found it. And I'm going to give this guy a shout out. This is a shout out. First and foremost, his name is Caleb Warren. Shout out to Caleb. I would have never got that. Isabella, his wife. Hi, my name's Isabella Warren and my husband. I absolutely love you guys. His name's Caleb. And he's actually the one that made your intro song in your podcast. I was wondering if you all are coming anywhere around or near Kentucky soon. I would love to surprise them with tickets to a show. If you guys are, we would love to get to meet you both. Thanks so much. Huh? I wonder how many other people think you're on tour, but you just have zero stories from the road. I just, I just, you know, I just do my thing. I get off stage and I go be with my family, you know, and once a month,

Catherine and I, you find a little window no stories come of it well not right now because she's pregnant so you know that's that's a funny thought that you are on tour with us but so you're all your stories about like yeah I was with Addie with Bo that's the morning of a show that's in the tour bus you just don't talk about the details I have a woodworking like yeah mobile shop with me that's what the trailer on the back of the bus is for it's kind of a moving shop it's amazing how we just get a generator and just get going you make wood products and you make you have a screen printer in there you make the merch the day of what do you guys want what do we want February still still on sale it's February it's March 3rd

you take that off the website but whatever oh that's funny I was thinking shout out to Caleb Warren shout out to people like that that talk to you and say, hey, I love your videos, but I don't know half them. It's like, it's OK. We still appreciate you. Yeah, it really is fine. I think I've talked to this on correct opinions more because it's a thing that happens to Trey that I witnessed pretty often, like when we're on the road, when we see people because

we're doing a tour, they'll be like, dude, what are you doing in San Antonio? Right. I'm your biggest fan biggest fan i didn't know you would be here and it's like you're not i'm actually uh we're on tour no way you're on tour that's awesome i gotta come to when are you doing a show here it's like that's actually what we're in town for they like don't put it together like oh my gosh and then i've seen this happen specifically like twice where trey's like i mean we're not sold out i could get you guys tickets ah i'll have to see off to see what

we have going on tonight it's like you went so quickly from like i'm your biggest fan i'll do anything for you it's like it's like oh tonight in my city maybe ku's playing tonight though i don't know i don't know it's just we've we've been tired you know thursday night football was pretty good color us jerseys you just gotta see what they're gonna do you know it's the cardinals are they gonna read a red or black on black i don't know which you know it's like the 90s bulls they have three uniforms it's fun so yeah i've seen that happen a lot um but speaking of you going on tour i was having this thought recently last couple days i've been thinking about a lot and i was gonna like probably talk to trey about it on your behalf without you even knowing but

whatever i'm just gonna it's very open right now okay i think even like aside from being your friend and wanting to see you do cool things and fun things just from like a business standpoint i think it makes so much sense for our next tour for you to come along with it just like as gene schwartz grows as gene schwartz becomes just you and i right like i just think it makes a ton of sense to like to make that announcement from gene schwartz like hey we are going on tour yeah with trey kennedy yeah like you know that just makes sense and so that'd be super cool like a year from now yeah gene shorts will be way bigger ghost runners will be just everything like i think it just makes sense to like yeah so just having a writer i haven't had that conversation with trey but i think you know get ready yeah i think that's yeah it makes sense to me obviously

like whenever you guys were first starting i was like oh this would be cool if i did this yeah i think that's yeah it makes sense to me obviously like whenever you guys were first starting i was like oh this would be cool if i did this yeah i'm also like thankful in in hindsight of like man that's a long time away from my family so and we'd have to figure that out that's the biggest thing for me is like i'd have to figure that out because i'm gonna have a third kid by then you know yeah and i don't even have a wife or any children i'm still like it's still hard when would our next tour be how could i get away for rachel to be there the whole time yeah right it's not fun it's hard to get to know someone you're gone it's like okay this date was amazing yeah i'm gonna be gone the next five and a half days yeah exactly so anyway stay tuned yeah that'd be awesome yeah i would i'm always up for

opportunities you know always always willing to listen to anything and i think a lot people would, the true crime fans out there would love to see the creepy truck guy live. Like, wait a second. If you squint, like it looks exactly like the same guy. Anna Uncovered uses him a lot. This creepy grandpa. What if we had no idea? You see like this, like just like mimed out grandpa. Online he by burt lumpkin but we all know that's street you know street lingo for yeah creepy elderly geriatric creepy ernie but speaking of a grandpa video unless you have some i was gonna say something about creepy grandpa video too so go on you go ahead well i just i really appreciated the video we came out with today that's doing well i was the was the grandma being like, how are you still single? You need to do what your grandpa did. He came up to me. I'm sorry. I, we were 15 years old at the sock hop and he just kissed me. And then

off camera, you hear, you bet I did. I think we need more audio off camera. That's funny. I agree. Cause I forgot we said it. So it caught me off guard. I was like, that's funny. And then Trey is like, if I did that now I'd be in jail. Well,. I was like, that's funny. And then Trey is like, if I did that now, I'd be in jail. Well, you got to do what you got to do. And Trey's like, you guys are perverts. And then you said like, a little bit. A little bit. Like, that's so funny off camera.

I think we need more of that. I agree. I think we did, Trey and I did that passive aggressive Christmas gifts one time. And like, even there was only like one time in the whole video that I was kind of talking over him or maybe vice versa. And it's like way funnier and like a little bit more chaotic when there's just a little more sound in there. Like when you and I were yelling at Trey off camera about the Suez canal, I think that's really funny. Yeah. Why don't we do this more? It's the same thing. It's like the only thing I think it's hard. We have to know how to trust each other, not to do it too much and like bother each other with it. Yeah. You know? So,

um, I was at upward basketball again this week, just watching the kids. Well, well now, uh, Sam Seavers, the, the children's pastor that runs upward at this church, uh, he gave Hattie a sucker the first time. And so now she's like, Oh yeah, I'd love to go back to upward. I want, I want another sucker. Sam's grooming her. Also try. Yeah. Also tried to get Boa sucker, which Jake, I know you don't have kids, but don't give a, you know, I'd say three and under. Probably not. I would, I would say no. Yeah.

So anyway, we went there and this woman, the woman actually that had seen me at Aldi, like, I don't know, three or four months ago was like, Hey, I'm the one that stopped you at Aldi. My kids are here and they would just be so sad if I didn't say hi to you and like introduce you. And so like met these people and they're like, we just love you so much. She's like my daughter over there. She's 10 years old. She's telling my husband that you're here right now. And like, we're all just huge fans of you. And I'm like, that's awesome. And then as they were leaving, they came up to me again. They're

like, we just, our favorite video that you guys do or that you've done recently is the grandpa video. And I was like, well, good news. We're bringing the grandpa back for this family reunion video. So, uh, well they, oh, they were like, they were like quoting. It was like, well, good news. We're bringing the grandpa back for this family reunion video. So they oh, they were like they were like quoting was like him as a Mariah. I was like, well, look at you guys go. So dang, that's awesome, dude. That's so cool. That sounds like a very pleasant interaction. It was wonderful.

How do you suck it on or pop and Bo has some Twizzlers or something something but i want to hear an update on hattie and tommy real quick but in the meantime i just when you said or i guess i said three and under it reminded me just a quick story from last night uh just title of this story is just the nerve the absurdity hashtag the nerve hashtag the nerve okay of some people this is from last night yeah so uh hashtag the nerve hashtag the nerve hashtag double day uh rachel and i and in the hoglands we're gonna do it you know it's like 80 degrees yesterday we're gonna go yeah um pickleball

Oh, love that.

The only one I can find on here right now. Let me try to. Catherine texted it to me earlier. Actually, no, I have to. Let me let me find him real fast. I'm so sorry. It's OK. Hey, guys, how are you doing?

Doing good. I'm I'm feeling good. I've sneezed like three times today which i think is fine um not enough to be like allergies just enough to it's like oh it's kind of fun you know it's like a fun sensation when you sneeze so i've been doing that i um i really enjoyed the smell of this new detergent that i mentioned at the end of last episode all day today maybe you've seen on youtube i keep i can't stop sniffing my own myself it smells so good but it's i didn't this sweatshirt i washed with old detergent just tied that doesn't do it for me but the t-shirt

underneath diva dude that's the wild thing is that if like and i don't want to be too awkward about this but like if any article of clothing you have smells or is washing diva your whole body will smell like it there was one time at Canicuck. It took me a while to like process what you're saying. There was one time at Canicuck where I was like, wow, you smell like I went up to a girl, like very like innocently, like one of my friends.

Just like, wow. It was like, I love that detergent. It smells so good. And then later on, like I learned, like only her underwear had been like. No. Yes. Yes.

I'm serious. I don't buy it. Do it. Girls underwear is just already the surface that you have so much little to work with okay then get some briefs and do it i guarantee you somebody will tell you you smell nice i guarantee you there's no way i promise why would she lie here's the thing why would she lie to like somebody else about it like that makes sense where she's like this is kind of funny like brad told me this but i didn't even it wasn't even my shirt or my shorts yeah i just don't i mean maybe it's summertime you know it's a breezy day what kind of pantaloons is this girl sporting around obviously i didn't ask oh no i

don't expect you to have the answer i'm just wondering these things must have gotten caught in the wind a little bit i don't know these are old school um i'm done talking about this so uh i actually have two quotes one was uh when she was with me haddie and i were at mcdonald's on the way uh back into the van she let out a little poopy sound then she goes excuse me i tooted so if you smell something like poop that's me gotta spell it out for you yeah exactly like that's exactly what it was uh and then this one's pretty funny because it's just like we we read all these classic you know old books to haddy and so then the odyssey uh yeah we read like you know peter rabbit and all these uncle wiggly and whatever all these old school books and 1984 apparently she said to katherine a pencil that looks like a pin. How queer.

Can you imagine? I've never heard her say that. But how funny. A pencil that looks like a pin. How queer. No way. Yeah. Yeah, there's no way.

Tommy doesn't deserve her. There's no way. She's so far ahead. She's so far ahead, dude. We were playing Guess Who today, and she sounded out and figured out the guy's name was Charles. That's a tricky word. She's not even five. Charles. Yeah.

Or just like Carlos. Yeah. Yeah. Not Carlos. Charles. So she's doing all right. Doing all right. Doing.

She's doing all right. Doing all right. Haribo. Anyway. Um, okay. I, I did,

I had data days this Saturday, um, where we went out to breakfast and we've been trying to go to chick-fil-a lately because uh it has the chick-fil-a in lenexa is the only chick-fil-a in kansas city that has a playground that's open inside okay and so we've been going there we've been loving it had he was like i'm tired chick-fil-a which hurt my soul um she's like how do we go to panera and so we went there and as we were driving there, I noticed on my phone that like, I always use like a wireless charger at night. And I noticed

that I must not have got it on there, right. Or whatever. And so I had 3% battery and I didn't have my wallet. And so we go into pay at Panera and they have, you know, Apple pay or whatever. I mean, it's me, Bo and Hattie. It's kind of crazy. I always bring like extra reinforcements of food. So I have like a hoodie that's got like multiple juice pouches and like bars inside of it. And then I'm trying to get them in their coats inside and everything. I've noticed that I golf with Scott and Palmer this week. Oh yeah. Just us three. And he had so many snacks. Oh, it's just like, it's just that move always. Yeah. Always have a backup plan. You know, always like if, if, if for whatever reason you don't like the bagel today, we got, we got a bar, we got a dates bar for you. Um, and so they're like, okay, that'll be

whatever, $18. And I double click to Apple pay and I bring it up and they're like, Oh wait, uh, actually do you have a, my Panera card? And I was like, yes, I do. Thank you for asking. We're wasting time. Give them my phone number. They're like, okay, the coffee was free. So that's actually, you know, $16. I was like, great. Double click. No. Gone. In that time? Yes. Battery died. What are the ratios? And I go, I go, oh, I'm so sorry. I, my, my phone just died. I was like, I'm going to have to go charge my phone and I'll be right back. And cause we had, I had probably $5 of cash in my van. And so literally the three of us do like a walk of shame back to my van and we like get in. And for whatever reason, I don't know why I chose to do this, but I sat in the front

seat and they both sat like on my lap in the driver's seat. Not shotgun, huh? For the charge? No, no, no. Yeah. Shotgun front seat. In your lap or in shotgun? Oh yes.

You're right. In my lap, in my lap. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Lap gun. Yeah. Lap yeah lap gun and like so all three of us are right there like i'm trying to charge my phone you know it's just like pandemonium yeah it's like this stinks like what why why does this happen they should invent something that you can just carry your money in yeah that way if your phone dies how nice would that be like just a physical object that you don't rely on your phone it could be paper it could be plastic maybe a magnetic strip i don't know that carries your money i mean who cares about the strip just use a chip these days in anyway so we had to wait like 10 minutes for it to charge because you know

how like when it dies that's like get charged back up to like five percent or whatever sometimes it dies harder than other times sometimes boots right back up i've noticed that other times like oh this is a hard death it's like man that one percent was like a big one percent i was really hanging on we really we probably had like two hours with that one percent it's kind of a betty white like wow you really hung on like you're still around wow oh but now you're done now you're like really really gone yeah like yeah exactly so we uh we went back in there all our food was ready for us paid had a great old grand old time but man was it like this stinks like this is a dad fail for sure

the walk of shame yeah back outside and and of course hattie was like why are we going back outside you're like daddy needs to make more tables like exactly that's not doing too well okay uh and have you ever had it i feel like i've had something like this where like an employee wasn't totally aware what was happening and so like on your way out like thanks for visiting us today and you're like oh and i'll be right And you're like, Oh, I'll be back. I'll be right back. Yeah. We'll be back.

I had a little issue with, Oh, okay. She's not, she's not looking anymore. She doesn't care. She's just trained to say that. So,

uh, yeah. So man, I was just like, that's, that's too bad. That's funny. So it was a good win afterwards to go to upward and be recognized by those

people. You needed that. I needed that. You needed it. How do you need a lollipop? Yeah, that's right. Good times.

I just remembered all this other stuff that happened at the golf show that I didn't even tell you because I got sidetracked by Noah and getting recognized. And yeah, my biggest fans were there. And this would have been a great, I mean, I wish I could have just had a GoPro

on my forehead for just the things that were happening with our friend group. You would have loved it. So right off the bat, I mean, it's very overwhelming. I mean, you walk into this huge, I mean, it's a convention center, right? Nothing but golf stuff. They've got like a third of it's blocked off just for a driving range.

People are just swinging clubs and hitting balls. It's like, that's kind of fun. What? Like indoor driving range? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just they put like nets up and everything. And then there's just all these booths and there's simulators and nets. And, you know, there's a concession stand and it's crazy we get

to so we're like we're not even really stopping we're just walking by just taking in all the sensory things happening there's a booth in the back and all they do is just stretch people they're not even chiropractors all they do is stretch and there's this line are you sure this is like a sanctioned booth i'm not sure it's a sanctioned booth i don't know if they're supposed to be there there were a lot of like things like there were multiple gutter companies there. Like there was home improvement companies there. There was like a Lathaford company. Just anyone getting in with a golf.

It's like anybody that'll pay them to be at the golf show. They'll let him be there. I think there's a lot of people who like golf trying to get off work. Like we should probably go to this convention. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it would help business anyway. Isaac cars, you know, everyone drives. Yeah, it says free 10 minute stretch and we're

like wow look at that like these poor guys we're having to like stretch just old man after old man that sucks and isaac like oh i'm gonna do that we're like no you're not he's like yeah he wasn't even like trying to be funny he's like no i'm gonna get i need to be stretched yeah goes and gets in line waits like 15 20 minutes in line and And the next thing I know, I look over cause I saw a friend and I was talking to him and Isaac. I mean, he's got his foot behind his head. He's got some man just, I mean,

just like, just getting in there with him. Yeah. Oh, it was so funny. So that's happening. Um, meanwhile,

uh, there's a long drive competition happening on this. Like similarly, it was kind of fun. So I'm trying to hype up Harrison and Scott to do it. Like, you guys got to do this. You know, it'd be fun. Are they like the best drivers?

I would say, yeah, they can hit it long, far and just more consistent than me and Isaac. So it would be more fun if you guys did it. And so but Harrison's like, dude, I don't know. Look at this guy next to us. Like, I mean, this guy's just chomping at the. He looks like he's just waiting to go and drive about 400 yards. He says a little too loud. This guy here as he kind of looks over so harrison just like i was just saying i think you could really hit the ball far next thing you know harrison this guy become real close buds here she's just hyping this guy up like dude i will

sponsor you to go in there and hit it because the guy's like i don't know if i'm gonna do it harrison's like dude i will pay your entry competition like you you win the money if you get it i forgot what you went like a free round somewhere or something. But yeah, it costs like $5, $10 to hit. So Harrison's like, I will sponsor you. And, you know, he's really hyping this guy up. This guy's girlfriend had to be like, okay, easy. He's taken.

All right. What's going on here? I mean, look at those arms. I mean, I'm sure you could do some. And finally convinces the guy to get in line and go. And as the guy's walking up to hit harrison plays the john cena like walk-up music so that was happening he's his biggest fan and then i mean just a little bit later there's this uh booth where you can get your swing analyzed it's like

that's kind of fun and so isaac goes over oh you've seen this yeah isaac goes over there and um he only takes a few swings and they're like okay okay now let's try one without the ball just like try doing this and swing with the club no ball there was no ball he's like i'm really stretched out so yeah this should be good we were even joking with that with him like he's loose he's loose just fyi he's as loose as you've ever been so don't hold that against him. And he gets in there and that golf club goes flying out of his hands about 150 miles an hour. Just goes against

the net. It's flying. It's like, you know, not totally falling to the ground. It's like reverberating off the net. Oh my gosh. And these guys weren't like, that's been happening all day. It was like, whoa! Whoa! Easy, easy, easy! This is free, so don't get crazy oh it was awesome what did isaac say i'm sorry i think he was a little embarrassed like we all would have been

but for the most part i think he was like this is hilarious yeah this happened like that's the most isaac thing because he was also like i can't have clammy hands yeah that's right he does he was like because you know we don't have our golf gloves on we didn't walk in there with a glove you should have after scott saw that he went have our golf gloves on. We didn't walk in there with a glove. You should have. After Scott saw that he went and bought golf gloves to compete in the long drive competition. There are just so many funny things, like kind of funny things. If you're in our friend group happening, right. You know, just like everyone is doing the part.

The one not stereotypical thing is Isaac and I were the ones who didn't spend money. Harrison and Scott both bought things at the convention and Isaac and I didn't didn't spend a dime good for you which was shot i mean the odds of that happening yeah right we're you know not good but how did the long drive guy go um so there's a little bit of an asterisk like harrison you know college baseball player big boy he can truly hit the ball yeah very far and even when he's hitting it's like that was a lot that was louder which is not always a sign of it but yeah it was like wow he got a hold of that one and then the simulator is like 233 yards it's like okay really we think that maybe they didn't because he was a lefty they just like switched it around and like maybe there's some settings you have to say like this is a left-handed

player now okay so harrison might have got jibbed i think scott had two that went 319 back to back actually but the record was like 340 what about john cena john cena oh he pummeled it uh he actually might have been the one with the record actually i think i think he actually got the right i forgot yeah i think he won so harrison judged him well like yeah yeah adequate he should be a golf coach really those who can't do teach so um and those who can't teach teach jim yo yo maYo Ma's cousin, little nepotism. We were looking at Trey and I were trying to figure out all the celebrities who were in that Imagine video. And Trey's like, is this the guy who played Ned Schneebly?

I was like, no, I don't know who that guy is, but that is not Ned Schneebly. There's no way they went that far down the line. Like the top 20 celebs. Yeah, we're not Ned Schneebly. Gal Gadot and Ned Schneebly. Yeah, right between Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd. We got some nice comments about us talking about social media last week on YouTube. Oh yeah.

I'm glad people enjoyed that. Somebody asked something along the lines of like, Oh yeah. How can we support? How can we support you guys best? What's the answer in your opinion? Yeah. I've kind of been thinking about that. There wasn't like an obvious,

like this would be so great um i think it's a platform youtube is where our attention goes like we would rather grow on youtube than anywhere else yes um just in general yeah if you're gonna watch if you're only gonna choose to watch in one place youtube is that place yeah so there's like a little thing if you're like it doesn't matter to me if i watch on youtube or facebook i guess like do Like, do you want to feel like you're helping us? Yeah. You can watch on YouTube. Yeah. Comments and subscriptions and all that stuff are big. Yeah. I truly think like engaging is the best thing you can do. And it's a fun way for us. It's like a mutual beneficial thing.

Like, well, yeah, it's just like it's a fun thing. Like we notice you're helping. It's not just like I'm watching on YouTube. You're doing that in the dark we don't see it it's like you're leaving a thoughtful comment on youtube we see that that's how fun is that so and that can even be on instagram just like replying to stories leaving comments on instagram posts like that's those are helpful ways just being an engaging viewer yeah are the best ways to support us i tell me if i'm wrong about this but i feel like um there's a difference between if we grow through tray, quote unquote, or if we grow kind of organically, quote unquote, like my quote unquote. And, uh, and so honestly, like as like just grassroots kind of growth is so

important. I feel like in so many ways, because YouTube from what we understand recognizes that way differently than if they see like, oh, they just grew by a hundred thousand people overnight, but really only a hundred thousand of those a hundred thousand people, only 5,000 are actually watching this thing. So like, if we're growing true fans, that's huge. And so as simple as it is just telling people about our stuff and like, whether it's literally sharing on your, you know, on your social media or sharing face to face and being like let me show you this funny video or yeah let me tell you about these funny people um i think it's really good i mean that's how ghost

runners has been like i'll say we've never had like a big break where it's like oh we got on this platform or nothing it's just been gradual organic people consistently are like dude it's ghost runners just blowing up which is classic like blowing up, dude, it's ghost runners blowing up. We're just classic, like blowing up, crushing it. It's like, it's like, no, we're just, we're just constantly growing. We're not like, we're not growing by thousands every week or anything like that. It's just like, we're, we're a little bit, we're just growing a little bit. It's because people are telling people it's not because we're paying for however, you know, yeah, exactly. Or anything like that. So yeah, yeah, that's my thought was kind of similar to you. Like YouTube is is where we make the most money per view, basically, and where we already

have the most subscribers and so therefore have the most clout, I guess. Hell, yeah. Is that a cool thing to say? For sure. And yeah, I don't I didn't know if there was any other like. Yeah, it was a really fun question, but nothing really jumped out. I was like, oh, this is like every creator knows is the best way to be supported.

I mean, you guys are doing a great job. I feel like we get so many YouTube comments. You guys are so great on Instagram. So great on Patreon. The Facebook group has been fun. The memes are great. Like you guys are doing a great job. And yeah, yeah.

Ghostwriters wise, I'm not like. Yeah, it's more jean shorts that I think. Yeah, as any kind of potential to have more engagement i feel like ghostwriters we have so much engagement already it's so fun uh this could be a thing when we launch the girls channel here in a few weeks you know be really eager for them support the girls sure you know because trey and brad and i all have a hand in it which will be a really exciting project too so yeah i think that'll get up and going in like three weeks with lindsey and morgan so there you go it'd be fun if we think of anything else we'll mention it but which will be a really exciting project too. So I think that'll get up and going in like three weeks with Lindsay and Morgan.

So there you go. It'd be fun. If we think of anything else, we'll mention it, but yeah. Good question. Whoever asked that this week, it was kind of a funny situation. So I go to the airport and it's you,

once you get through the gate, you know, you pull the mask down. Okay, great. Have a nice flight. Thank you. You too.

And it's like, all right, you can go left or right for the security to like put your bags through on the left is a guy in the back of his shirt says paranormal investigation team you know and then it's like he says his memory like ghost squad yeah or like yeah rogue member or something like that or i'm like i don't even want to know what that guy's got in his bags like i don't know what kind of conversation i might get into sure so paranormal investigation team on the left i have just the oldest man who's existed on the right i'm like i don't know paranormal's got a lot of

bags a lot of bags probably at least a few ghost metal detectors in there i choose to go right i choose to follow the old man no way i was like this is the underdog story watch we're gonna get through you and eugene yeah me myself and you gene he goes through the like the tsa like the whirl whirling dervish hands up yep and they're like you have anything in your pockets it's like no i've done this before that's what what you say. He gets through and like, oh, I think something went off. Do you have your belt on, sir? He's like, oh, yes, I do. Takes the belt off, gives it to him,

goes through like, something went off again. He's like, I have, I have some metal on my knee. Like, oh, okay. We didn't know that. Great. And they're like,

actually, no, it's above your knee. Do you have anything in your pockets? This old man pulls out 35 coins. He pulls out car keys. He pulls out a billfold, a handkerchief. Pockets are stuff, dude, to the brim. The fact that he even has coins is just great. I mean, I don't even think like the bucket they get here,

you put your stuff in here. He's like, I'm going to need two. You know, like it can't even fit in this container. amount of crap like do you have any metal on you he's like well i mean none of this anvil potentially be it yeah uh it was so funny seeing something like that in person just like yeah really sweet and i wasn't in a hurry so i didn't mind oh that's hilarious he's like feeling around you know now that now that I think of it, I got a knee replacement a few years back. Oh, and I do have $8 in change in my pocket.

One of those two things probably set it off. So I was like, I'm glad I didn't go paranormal because I would have never got this experience. They both would have been interesting probably. But yeah, that was how the weekend Sunday started. Yeah. Tell me, tell me about Fargo though. It was fun. It was a good show.

It was, you know, my first time ever performing comedy without trey and so one of the first things i noticed was like it was interesting kind of being the guy in a way and just like subtle things just people coming up to me beforehand like dude i'm so excited to see you tonight it's like oh that's like yeah that's subtle but it's like i'm not used to hearing that right ever you know it's like hey we're excited like we we've been hearing everyone's been talking about you all week we came to see you it's like wow that's so cool like i don't want to let you down it's cool to meet your audience beforehand almost so that what was the beforehand like was it a dinner or a what kind of event it was kind of like i didn't want to just hang out in the green room i don't know it's a church it's casual so i was just out in the

sanctuary with everyone they kind of got there early and there was popcorn and there was drinks. Was it like a youth group? Young, young adults. So it was like 20 to 30 age group. And, um, kind of a date night kind of event. Yeah. Singles only. Okay. Not really, but that's kind of what young adult ministries end up doing.

And so, uh, and yeah, the, the set went well. I added like probably five minutes worth of stuff and it was fun to say those jokes again i feel like i found some new stuff and said some old jokes i was like i forgot about this maybe i should add this back in this is fun yeah and um you know it's kind of funny too just like i get done with my set and i was like thank you and then just go sit on a pew yeah you know it's like it's like where do i go from here i guess i'll just sit back down and they did a good job too this was a huge this church was built in the 80s kind of during the revival area, the era of like traveling evangelist. And so they built like a 1500 person sanctuary.

Like what if Billy Graham comes? We got to hold them. Okay. And I guess the church was never really that big. And so now they're kind of in this spot where like, it's like, what do we do? It's just too big. Yeah.

And so they were, I feel like everyone over the church, that was like their thing. They're kind of embarrassed by it. They all told me the same story. Like now just FYI, this church was built in the 80s. I got like the same spiel all day their thing they're kind of embarrassed by they all told me the same story like now just fyi this church was built in the 80s i got like the same really all day they were like kind of embarrassed by it i think or something they're not embarrassed but just like hey elephant in the room it's kind of a big church you know whatever so did they like rope off certain areas so it's like just sit in this center area yeah they did a good job so they roped off everything but the middle and then even right before i

performed they like pulled up chairs and like had everyone sit i mean right in front of the stage so it's kind of cool they were very uh helpful in that way and everyone was really nice and fun and i was showing well one of my favorite things is a guy meeting a guy named ryan i think he's like 25 he's a member young adult he kind of helps out with the youth there and he hasn't listened to much ghost runners but he's listened to eight episodes and they're our first eight. And he's listened to them recently. I never got to talk to someone like this. So he's very in tune with me three years ago.

Yes. I was like, dude, this is fascinating. I was like, so what am I into right now? He's like, you're working out a lot. I'm like, really? Yeah. That shocked me so much. Like, I mean, I totally remember the tanning bed thing.

Yeah. Yeah. I would get Tootsie Rolls and tan or massage, you know, whatever. And I was like, that's so funny. And he was just or massage you know whatever and i was like that's so funny and he was just like um you know you're talking about this right now this is going on used to the scuba show i was like oh my god yeah yeah um so it was so fun it was fascinating i was like dude tell me more i was just fat it was like i was meeting myself yeah i was like what else am i into it's like yeah what am i wrong about right now uh-huh yeah have you got to the covet stuff

yet yeah and um he was like dude i knew i was gonna like you because one of the first episodes you guys were talking about thermostats and how you like it warm and i was like i don't remember saying that but nothing's changed i was like dude i'm gonna send you a video when i get back to my hotel room tonight i set it to 77 when i got in there and uh so i texted him so ryan you're the man also nate nate was a huge ghosty who came and it was already a member of that church and he's like i guess he was in the meeting we're like a huge ghostie who came and was already a member of that church. And he's like, I guess he was in the meeting. We're like, we have a comedian who's going to come to a young adult night,

Jake Triplett. He's like, what? Yeah, it's like, is this a practical joke? Wait, like no one else even knows who this is in this room. And I'm like a big fan. So Nate was fun.

Got pizza with him and he was a really nice guy. So overall, it was great. I would love to like, if you guys have a church or anything that you want to have me or Brad or both. Would you say you're a Christian comedian or a comedian who's Christian?

You guys let me know. That's kind of a deep cut with Brad and I off the pod, but I'm a Christian. I shouldn't be like, wait, what's that? Yeah. Right.

What was that? It's just a joke about this guy. We know who refused it. He doesn't want to be known as a Christian comedian, but he only performs in churches. His Instagram caption will be like, guys, I'm booking gigs. So if you have any youth groups or churches like holler at me, but then all his story will be like, why is everyone calling me a Christian comedian? It's like, dude, get a grip. Um, yeah, it's not a, why is that a bad thing? Yeah. And why are you so embarrassed to be like, that's fine. Yeah. If I end up performing at churches primarily, what a great way to make a living. I only get to meet, you know, church people. That's cool. Anyway. So yeah, it was

good experience. It was fun. Yeah. Um, this is a few other small stories. Um, first of all, I joined a gym this past couple of weeks ago. I think Scott told me that. Yeah. Lifetime fitness with, uh, my family. Um, part of the reason that we were like, yeah, let's do this is they give you two and a half hours every day worth of child care for free. Lifetime. Yeah. And so, I mean, we've only used it once for the kids, but it's like if anything else, that's like a haven for Catherine to like drop off the kids, go work out and then have

like an hour to herself or something. Yeah. They have like a cafe kind of thing. An hour to then have like an hour to herself or something. Yeah. So they have like a cafe kind of thing. Oh, an hour to yourself. Yeah. That's fun. Right. Yeah. It's kind of wild though. Like we, we did it the other day. We went off all four of us together and we dropped them off. And then like, before we worked out, we just sat there together and talked for like two minutes and I was like, this is worth the price of admission right here. Um, anyway, but it's a cool gym. I'm happy for for you guys that's fun it's very nice gym i went there the other night and played basketball um and after i played i was like i've been getting like really bad like lower back pains lately uh and so i was like literally like guys i i'm i'm

done i gotta be i gotta be done playing your back probably hurts from carrying jean shorts like everything about that i've wondered about that you know my delts are blasted um but uh but anyway i i left really fast and showered did the sauna love the sauna dude big man sauna anyway um and got out and like as i was like getting ready to leave i realized oh my ball that i brought uh is still in the gym went back dilemma no no no i got dressed everything went back oh i was just saying you have to stop the game like hey guys that's my ball no no it wasn't my ball that we use oh i hate stuff like that i threw the ball over to the side when we started playing came back no ball oh ball was ball was nowhere to be found all gone and i was like there was one ball that

was similar to mine i was like hey is that is that your ball he's like yeah yeah are you missing a ball and he kind of started laughing he's like what a rookie mistake like we're forgetting your ball you gotta always make sure you know where your ball is and i was like sorry i figured this was a nice gym no one was gonna steal my ball seriously i wouldn't have thought that i i was i was pretty bummed at the end of the night i was like it was kind of a weird day already and it was like well this is just a weird topper on top of that day. Topper on top of that day. The pecks new dog is named Topper. They have a dog?

They have a dog. Guess what? It's named Topper. Does it suck? Sorry. Is it terrible? Because it's named Topper? No, because Scott, the one dog that Scott had growing up was named Roxy. And he's like, dude, remember Roxy?

She was the best dog. I was like, Scott, that was one of the worst dogs I've ever seen in my entire life. It was an awful dog. It was like, Scott, that was one of the worst dogs I've ever seen in my entire life. It was an awful dog. It was not cute. It was not played. It was like some mutt. What's what's what's topper. Topper is a really pretty dog.

It's like a Australian shepherd. Okay. That sounds cool. Yeah. Something for you. Something beautiful. Okay. Maybe a purebred.

Better than Roxy. Yeah. Anyway, two days later, I walk in and I told like the staff like hey I lost my ball and they're like oh yeah new guy we'll look for it and I was like they're not going to find it

no one's just going to be like hey I found a ball it was near the dumbbells and then yeah yesterday I walk in and they're like do I think I found your ball and I was like what and they were so like mysterious about how they found it. They couldn't get their story straight.

Like, like, yeah. One girl was like, I actually was the one that found it. And I was like, no way. Where'd you find it? And they were like, I feel like they just said like, you know, just, uh, just lying, lying around. It was kind of where I was looking. And I walked around the gym multiple times.

Like, yeah, I was like, okay. I don't know what the eventual story was but all that to say like and if you know me you know that i'm not like a big lock your doors kind of guy i'm not trusting i'm not yeah i'm not very scared of getting stuff stolen but after i had my ball stolen i was like locking every door i had all the time and like you know zipping up everything good so uh but now I'm back. Whatever. I am unlocked. How's the basketball?

Actually, what are the guest pass situation? What's that looking like at Lifetime? I don't know how many of them I get, but I know I have a few. So every month you get new passes? That's what I don't know. I know that I get like two, but I don't know if it's like two a month or two ever or what.

But I would love for you to come check it out. Cool. It's really, it's really nice. It's cool. Fun. And if you have kids, just throw them into the kids room. Does it have to be kids? Up to 12 years old. So define it how you want. I was going to take Isaac.

What if he's been acting up? Hey, my boy. Yeah. He lives with me and I just need to get out of Matt, get him out of the house. Yeah. You have any solutions for, yeah, we have this great kids program. Awesome. He's great with kids. Yeah. He loves other kids yeah I mean I met him I met him when I was doing ministry actually kind of brought him into my house anyway but yeah it was uh it was interesting but I and I'm all I'm gonna tell one more story and I don't I don't know if this guy is gonna listen to the podcast okay I first of all I think you're a cool guy. No matter what happens, we haven't become like good friends yet. We had a really,

really good conversation at the hot tub one night to the point where it was like, I need to get out of this hot tub because I'm going to overheat. But it's just such a good conversation. It was like, it was like we were connecting on faith and like connecting on like our family values and all these different things. Um,

and then long story short, learn that he is selling amway products do you know what that is dude i actually never talked about this on the podcast well yeah you go first well the yeah the thing was like i like really connected with them left that night like not like didn't know at the time uh but then he wanted to connect with me a couple days later in a different way but but his wording that he used he was like i would love to connect with me a couple of days later in a different way, but, but his wording that he used, he was like, I would love to connect you with the mentor that I've had the last couple. Yep. And I was like, this is the verbiage. I was like, this sounds odd. Dang. And I don't know how much detail I want to go into, but I'm just going to do it. I love it. I love it. So I think we

talked about this, maybe not, but at F12, uh, there was supposed to be an event after us. Do you remember this? You hear about this? No, I don't think I was aware of that. So originally it was like, we got to get ghost hunters people out by 10 30 cause we're gonna have another event at like 1130. Yeah. Uh, but then they realized like, Oh no, the 1130 event was actually for the next weekend. Uh, so then I learned about this 1130 event, how it was really great and crazy and cool. Um, and then I was talking to this guy about my podcast, uh, at lifetime. And I was like, yeah, and we actually did this thing at Chick-fil-A and blah, blah, blah. And he's like, dude, I just was at that Chick-fil-A doing this event. Um, I was like, no way I heard about this

event the next week. Whatever, blah, blah, blah. Are you following me so far? Yeah. Okay. I'm, I feel like I'm being very generic a few times. So I just want to make sure you're so far. Um, and so then when he said that like little thing about like my mentor or whatever, I did some investigative journalism, went to Chick-fil-A, had to go to Chick-fil-A, you know, and uncover my arm and asked one of the Chick-fil-A people that helped us with, you know, everything that we did for the event. Like, what's this, what's the deal with these guys? And, and the, the network that they're a part of is like the most vague sounding name, like Christian leadership challenge or something like that. Logistical,

um, technical operations. Yeah. And it's like, that sounds great. And then I, you look it up and it's like, Oh,

it's through Amway, which is just like a male MLM kind of thing. I don't think it's just male, but anyway, it was like one of those things where I was like, Oh, I still want to be friends with the guy. Like I genuinely think we're,

we have the possibility of being friends, but I'm like, I texted him. I was like, I'm not really interested in meeting with him after all guy. Like I genuinely think we're, we have the possibility of being friends, but I'm like, I texted him. I was like, I'm not really interested in meeting with him after all. Cause originally I was like, yeah, that sounds fun.

Let's, let's, let's connect with this guy. I love to meet other like-minded Christian dudes, you know, but you don't want a relationship that's like dependent on. Yeah. Transactional stuff.

Yeah. Transactional. It's like, well, why didn't, why didn't you, you know, where your sales at,

you know? Yeah. Oh, how about we just talk about our kids or you know whatever so anyway yeah dude i got hit up when i was uh well last week plus a couple weeks when i was in austin texas oh yeah um austin texas austin texas yeah yeah yeah yeah you know you've been i love it dude yeah keep it weird hi um i got a call from a girl I haven't talked to since college. And Trey was making fun of me because I just answered the phone. He's like, dude, I would never just answer the phone from someone I've never talked to. Trey would never. Yeah, he's right.

I probably wouldn't either. And I was just answering the phone. And we caught up for like two minutes. And then she was just like, I wanted to talk to you. And she kind of sets it up because uh me and so and so her husband like we've been kind of doing these like entrepreneurial different ventures and we just moved to kane city and we know you live there and everything you did in college you know you have this business and so so far hook line and sinker i'm like wow yeah sure keep building me

up yeah okay butter my bisque and then butter my bisque lobster bisque oh yeah and i discovered that in florida with rachel's family had no idea what lobster bisque was rachel just introduced you so many things yeah like have you ever heard of lobster bisque it's pretty good this is not bad yeah it's pretty tomatoes on your burger guys what do you think pickles like just like very normal thing like guys cilantro pretty good on tacos yeah dryer sheets i mean pretty fun hello that's snuggly bear brushing your teeth get this in the morning yeah you guys been doing this i mean yeah open my eyes yeah a lot and so i'm trying to figure out you know she's like is this something you'd be interested in i was like i mean to be honest with you my schedule feels very full right

now i'm if it's any kind of entrepreneurial venture i'm probably looking for something if it's like very passive income and i'm kind of joking like wouldn't that be great like if i could just make money you just lobbed up the like the the prompt to her well and i was trying to be self-aware and like acknowledging like yeah i'm probably not just i'm probably not the right guy because i mean be like sure i you know what i would love to do is make money without doing anything we're like wouldn't we all duh i was born in 1990 so that makes sense like us millennials i was like you know real estate's about the only thing i really have time for when it comes to like yeah additional whatever and she was like well we don't it's not really anything like that but let me still talk

to you about it i was like uh that was the first like little red flag i was like what i think i was pretty clear like i have no time for anything and so she's told me and it's just the vaguest pitch of all time like you know how everything's kind of online these days yeah have you yeah yeah like if you put www for something that's like the internet like website okay you get it then yeah you've been there yeah i think we're saying the same thing you know everything's online these days i love that yeah hey you know how like most cars like use wheels these days okay you're getting it you're getting yeah you see how they would be a great part of the team if you can get that and she's like we uh are an e-commerce business essentially

and i was like great but it's like most things have an e-commerce business, essentially. And I was like, great. But it's like most things have an electrical commerce side to them. You know, he used that exact same term. A girl, actually. No, no, my guy. Oh, did he really? E-commerce. Really?

And I was like, in my head, I was like, OK, cool. But like whatever the industry, like I was like, what industry is it in, though? She's like, I would say the industry is just e-commerce. I was like, but like that, you know, sell your stuff online like every other brand but what's the stuff you know I'm like I'm trying to get and I cannot ever I'm not trying to be too pushy but I'm like I'm kind of intrigued still I'm like what is this product and eventually we get down the the end of the path she's like well our our parent company is our our actual company you haven't heard of you don't know it she don't even tell me the company she's like our parent company is amway and i was like oh and then i got like

legitimately frustrated oh really yeah i was just like i just hashtag the nerve the nerve the nerve to like you know i don't know just like we're facebook friends she knows what i'm doing and she's trying to take advantage of it she's trying trying to like take advantage of what I'm doing and the money I might be earning and just like shamelessly being like, you're an entrepreneur. Yeah. You would be great. I think you could nail this. Yeah. Just like, I know it probably feels empowering to you have this false sense of like, you're a business owner, but you're not, you need to be aware that you're not. And your skillset could be so much more valuable doing something else other than using your friends to make money. That's what's so hard about the, I mean, just, just business in general, it's hard to like, like advertise to your own friends.

And it's like, please don't feel pressure to do this. But then the MLM industry is like really amped that up. Cause it's like, anyone could like get into it now. Like it's pretty small barrier to entry. So it's like, yeah, let's go for it. And then it's like, but even, even though, even the people that I'm like, you a hundred percent believe in your product, you a hundred percent believe it's like a great product, but it's still just like, Ooh, that'd be so hard to just like consistently feel. And maybe they eventually just don't feel shame for it anymore. But just like this feeling of like, I'm going to reach out to you. But the, really the only reason I'm reaching out to you is because I want to come around the backside and yeah, I want to make money off of

you. So I'm willing to call someone I haven't talked to in nine years and it was just going to be no problem. I was going to call them and like, try to get money out of them. Just the nerve. Yeah. The nerve. I just couldn't believe it. Like it's never been easier to make money online or anyway, it's never been easier to like start a business, to have a side hustle, like do that. Find a passion. Don't sell off-brand cleaning products, you know, like do something you're passionate about.

I mean, you bought the off-brand cleaning products. Sometimes, you know, if they're door to door and they have a good sob story. Sure. I could have gotten away with it. Yeah. Last thing I'll say, just to wrap it up, you're not, you're not a bad person. If you work for Amway, that's not the problem. It's the way you go about selling your business oh i don't think i like this guy yeah the way you go about communicating what you're trying to do is what everyone has an issue

with it's not bad if you work for those companies yeah and whatever i i really didn't it was a weird feeling of like oh he actually because like jokingly in my head i was like maybe this guy's doing an mlm thing and it's like oh actually I think he is doing sneak attack. And it's like, whatever, but, um, it's just too bad. Yeah. It's too bad. Another really quick, funny story is there is a mom to one of my good friends' wives. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Jeremy holidays, mother-in-law, um, messaged me on Facebook the other day. She's like, Brad, uh, we live really close to this house for sale. Um, that's in Lenexa. And I think it'd be perfect for you because it's got a, uh, like back shop that you could drive a, or park a airplane in. I was like, Oh, that sounds pretty big. Um, she's like, I think it'd be great for you. And so I looked it up

online and it was like $800,000. And I was like, okay, Roxy, how, how well do you think I'm doing here? Like, I'm just trying to make ends meet. You know, Catherine doesn't work, right? I would, I would pawn off Tommy's,

you know, mom's wedding ring for Hattie's college fund. I'm not just dominating things here. And so it was one of those funny things where she's like,

how, how much, who do you think you got here? You know, that's it. Like Brad, you should go on tour.

You should just perform at Madison Square Garden. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just perform comedy there. You should be on at Madison Square Garden. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just perform comedy there. You should be on Netflix, dude. Oh, not a bad idea.

Brad, just buy this five bedroom house with a huge shop in it. That'd be great. That was the thing. It was like it wasn't a mansion, but it was big. It was like, I don't know, 5000 square feet. Like it's like a big house. Yeah. And it was like, hey, I don't want to live in that big of a house because I think it's

cool to be close to your family b yeah it was just like no i could i'm not gonna be able to afford this anytime maybe someday but not right now so just funny once you change where it's it's a million you get the house maybe so maybe that's fun yeah that's funny people have good intentions it's just funny yeah yeah it was it was fine so uh saying house stuff real quick and the price of it just reminded me uh got a letter in the mail well got it a couple weeks ago opened it yesterday smart found it yesterday for the first time turns out haven't paid my mortgage yet oh good yeah so yeah which makes sense because as i've been looking at my bank account being like let's just keep going home ownership ain't too bad i'm like man it really feels like it's just

like yeah you never really see it go down it's just up up up and away and then yeah i haven't paid my mortgage in what three four months so i got quite the bill uh to take care of at some point soon so that was a bummer and on top of that last week i get a call like it's the day of a show do you know what this no i'm just thinking in my head that you haven't paid your mortgage for four months yeah yeah yeah it's like man yeah expensive but um isaac's like hey i don't know if you know anything but the water won't turn on and like on one hand you're like dude i am killing it like look how great i am on the other hand it's like oh i'm not i'm not paying for anything oh yeah it's it's so

humbling and just like yeah you have no idea what you're doing you don't have anything together and so wait it's just you just don't have like automatic payments set up or whatever well I hadn't even paid it in the from the get-go I didn't know like you know you just I didn't know you had to pay for water water's what kind of country am I living in kind of pay for water I had a well growing up did you guys have a well yeah yeah so you did you have to pay for like i genuinely don't know the answer that question do you have to pay for well water i don't know probably not but how do you like you have to somehow filter it right i don't know this is gonna be one of those steve triplet like you steve knows like

i'm gonna take the stance of donut once you install the well that's yours baby it's your water do it as you will as you will oh nice yeah i think it's free water okay but at school you have to get the um um what's that called fluoride you have to get fluoride when you go to school okay i have that what do you mean by get the fluoride like once a week the nurse would come by with like look like jello shots and once a week you take those yeah you slosh around yeah you take the colorful shots this is like a small town thing must be yeah everyone drank it fluoride yeah sloshed around spit it back in the cup and then nurse diane takes it away i'd never heard really yeah yeah no i mean like i got fluoride treatment like

at the dentist growing up like once every six months but like maybe it was even once a year i don't know yeah maybe you shouldn't got by once a week once a week is amazing it felt decently often. Interesting. I would say my fluoride, it was a one-to-one ratio of amount of fluoride trips and like substitute teachers I had, you know, like in that time. Oh, that's not once a week then, right? I don't know. Fluoride's like a controversial thing now. It's like, should we put it in water or not?

Oh, is it like giving kids autism or something? Everything is. So I don't know. I don't know. But oh is it like giving kids autism or something everything is so cool i don't know i don't know well but it is in like public water so you're good cool either way i am paying for it now just you know when i bought this house you just you know i pay gas to one company i pay electric to one company i paid this to one company i was like i think all my bases are covered turns out water hadn't even no clue and there's wastewater you remember that one haven't even got that one yes that's gonna be cool you're fine yeah they'll tell you if they want you to pay you know though yeah they got my attention yeah yeah so i was like dude isaac i'm so sorry and so

i called figured all out i was like all right i paid it and they're like great we will get someone out there to turn it back on i was like if it's a switch look my roommate's that got nothing going on he just got done being a lifetime fitness in the kids department. I can have him find the switch. I don't think it's that easy or else people will just be like, hey, the water's not on. That's what I was thinking. I was like, I want to find this switch. Sure.

It's a keyed switch. Well, some prize you figure out, make a wooden key. One more just like victorious thing from Brad. It was a couple of weeks ago now. I think I mentioned the day of F12, I was supposed to fix my oven. Yeah. I was like,

Catherine, I don't have time for this bad time. Terrible time. But bro, I fixed the oven and it, it, it was the most like, so,

so I, we, we had this issue with our oven where it was just like not detecting the temperature. And so like, it just kept heating up and heating up until, to the point where it was like 700 degrees. You got to burn your quesadillas.

A hundred percent. All the quesadillas. Um, 40 of them. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and so like,

like, and so we'd have to like go and like turn off the breaker every time. Like this would happen. Oh, this is annoying. And, and our oven is not like a super nice oven, but it's like a one and a half times as wide as a normal oven.

Congrats on that. And these days, no wonder Jeremy holidays, mother-in-law was whatever oven but it's like a one and a half times as wide as a normal oven congrats on that and these days no wonder jeremy holiday's mother-in-law was yeah whatever aunt texas however however why it's like 42 inches maybe and these days a 42 inch oven is like so expensive like four five thousand dollars you got an early and yeah got in got in with the sears version and now it's like only like the industrial nice stuff um and, and so I'm like, we're not like replacing this oven. We're going to try to get it fixed. So I had to, I called this guy, had him come out, paid him like a hundred bucks to diagnose it. And he's like, yeah, it'll be about $800 to fix this thing. And he's like, all you gotta do is you need a new circuit board. And I was like, well, is it one of those things I could do myself? And he's like, like,

it was, it was amazing. Cause he worked for Sears for sears and he's like like right when i said that he's like yes you should absolutely do it yourself like it was like he's probably trained to be like hey this is what we're gonna do but right when i asked he's like you can order the part online it's a 300 part or whatever and then you literally just like like if you know how to do anything handy i was like yeah i have my own business where i've worked with my hands so it's like he's like yeah you just plug in the things oh and i was like great um stinks it was 300 so well just wait jake okay i'll wait so then i did some research on youtube because i was kind of bothered by the threat there was a 300 price and then there was like 150 like refurbished circuit board price how nice of an oven do we need and i noticed i was like okay you have to send in this

circuit board and then they fix it for you and And then they send it right back. And I was like, okay, so how hard is it to fix this thing? So I found out this, this video and I learned how to solder something. You soldered your own circuit board? I, I like, like if anybody knows what I'm talking about at all, they're like, oh, it's nothing. But I like retouched up a soldering joint on the circuit board. So I had to like take it out of the oven. This is fun. Yeah. You would have, you would have actually probably really enjoyed it. I'd take it out of the oven this is fun yeah you would have you would have actually probably really enjoyed it i'd take out of the oven like very carefully pry it open find where the uh soldering like where the burnt out joint was and like melt some solder and like put it on there put it back on reattached everything on the oven turn it on and it worked 400 degrees and staying at 400 stay in there baby dude that's

awesome it was and so i was like i just saved our family 700 you know and i mean your house might have burned down who is to say what would have happened had you not fixed yeah 700 and a whole house you know we can't afford a nice new one so um that's really impressive though it was awesome it was like the sense of accomplishment yes yeah like i may have burned almost burned down our house with the chimney but i did not burn down with the oven so that's funny yeah i'm glad you got both at the same time because this happened to me last night as i'm opening all these like bills everything it's just like bummer after bummer like i opened like four things in a row of like things i opened or that i owed

money and then isaac was like don't forget this one i was like gosh i don't even want to open this one but it was this random letter i guess this is like a home ownership thing i did like i asked for this they just sent it to me it was like hey here's an update on what your house is appraising for i was like oh fun it was like a letter basically saying like you have more money than you knew of so like it all evened out i fixed my own oven in a way well that was my oven fix okay i'm just i'm gonna i'm gonna let you be happy about it nope tell me what it means the more your house appraises for that's that's how much taxes you have to pay on it though dang it that's the only sucky thing.

Cause it was like, look what I appraised for 2018. Look what I appraised for. I'm like, this is awesome. Look at this upper trend. Right. Well, and it's, it's good. Like overall, it's like, Oh yeah, my house is more valuable. Obviously that's the most important thing, but like there's certain people in like, let's say like people that have lived in Prairie village for 50 years or something that bought their house for 20 grand. And now people are like, hey, you have to spend, you know, taxes on $400,000 for this house because that's how much it's worth now. Oh, that's still worth it. And so it's like really frustrating to them because they're like, I'm used to paying taxes on this. And now all of a sudden it's gone up like crazy.

Oh, that's still so worth it though. It's like you have to pay taxes, but your house is... It's worth it if you can afford it. Like if you can afford can afford the taxes but some people like they'd rather just live in the house and not even make money off the house they'd rather well yeah or they might not like they're they might just have a job that's like a very normal job but they got into the house a long time ago or something that's what i'm saying they'd rather just live there even though it's like well your house has more value it's like we don't want to sell the house we just want to live here and pay our old taxes we want to be content with just paying off this house and we're good with it i yeah that's fair too anyway but that's the that's the uh double-edged sword with home appraisals i say i'm not living here forever

bring it on yeah up we go baby that's right upward basketball that's right um this we're thinking about like refinishing our floors or like taking out the carpet of our uh like back living room and putting wood floors in there. Cool. And we're using Martine to do it. Oh, he's good. And he is good,

but he does not speak English very well. Um, we were kind of coordinating back and forth and then we're like, okay, great. We'll do it on March 14th, blah, blah.

And he texted me a couple of days after and said, price on materials, probably different because everything is go up dollar sign. Well, sure. And I was like, Oh, that's,

I mean, as he just planned me at this point. And so I just texted him back. I said, how much? And then he waits three days. What's he send back a question mark. And all I said to the question mark was what?

And then literally just now he texts me back. How much? Oh, so I'm i'm like no how much to you yeah you tell me how much my budget is my budget is less than you quoted me originally like it's just a weird that's too bad i really value good communication that would be a bummer to feel like that's the thing like in person he talks fine english like we can talk decent you know and better than that sentence so uh imagine just saying question mark to someone in real life like dude i don't know what you're saying yeah question mark and just the professionalism of i'm just gonna throw a question mark out there he's done work with us before but

anyway don't know what to do what do i say back to how much i don't know just if you don't know just question him I'll just say one dollar question mark that's what he says what sir? that's funny keep us updated on our team and those ongoing negotiations let's listen to a couple voice memos

that'd be kind of fun wouldn't it Brad let's do it Jake hey Jake and Brad this is Emily just had to send you a voice memo because Jake, I am so genuinely happy for you that you have a girlfriend and don't even know you, but congrats. So excited for you, Brad. Congrats on baby number three coming. So exciting. I'm a mom to four. It's so wild, but so fun. So yeah, found you guys through trey sort of recently got some kc vibes

i'm also from kansas city now living in nebraska and i was a camper at k2 and k classic so so fun to listen to you you're my favorite podcast to listen to while i fold my mountains of laundry every night here's my my question for you. What is something you enjoyed doing as a child? That was kind of weird. Did you have any weird hobbies or spent an unusual amount of time doing anything interesting? Love to know. Thanks guys. M-Dog. Thank you. Appreciate it. It's funny. It seems like the married women are the ones most excited for me they're like he's missing something in his life he doesn't even realize it no uh yeah emily where to start i mean i feel like we've gone over plenty of

different things i've gone into you know between jake the great the magician or um the different stages my dad actually went into this at f12 on stage just all these different stages i went in. That's right. What did he say about the bird? Yeah, I mean, any movie I watched, I would become the protagonist for about two weeks. Where I thought I was Batman. And I wouldn't respond to my parents unless they called me Bruce. And I was like, oh, yes, what do you want?

Question mark. You know, I watched Dances with Wolves. And then I only wanted to shoot Buffalo for a couple weeks. I would call Caitlin Robin when I was Batman. All this stuff but the my parents said the only one that was actually annoying was when i thought i was a bird so i just flapped my wings and you know made all this noise for weeks and weeks and weeks and they said it was just the worst and what a weird kill me yeah yeah so but i was always going through a stage i remember like got really into sign language for like a month and then that was that was back to back i remember

kind of doing sign language and yo-yo at the same time um got rid of the yo-yo for a while i mean math was always the weirdest thing i did i mean i asked for shower crayons because i wanted to do math on the walls that was pretty strange learned this about myself at f12 too from my dad i and i remembered it but back in the day i used to whenever i'd get the math book you know at the beginning of the year like all right you're in seventh grade math i'd go ahead and just do all the. Cause I knew they were going to sign either evens or odds. I'm like, well, if I just go ahead and knock out all of them, then my homework's done. So that was pretty weird. That's amazing. Yeah. When would you just do it in your free time? Like probably in class. Okay. Yeah. Like, so you, you could learn without the teacher, like in math.

Yeah. Math kind of made sense. Yeah. Nothing else. I couldn't do like that, but yeah. Math just kind of made sense that way. That's so cool. Um but yeah math just kind of made sense that way that's so cool um yeah for me i was i was pretty normal i didn't do as weird of things as jake yo-yo was like a little bit of a phase i was really into like um like gi joe kind of stuff so i played with those like i could like not even like in a weird way i think i could genuinely still like if you gave me a bucket of like little action figures i could be entertained by myself in a room for like an hour i'm dead serious i think so yes like like it was just like what would you do what would you reenact with i would have narrative it would be like we got we got the bad guys and the good guys and whatever that we gotta go like attack them and sneak around and maybe there's like a mole in the group yeah exactly it's a

traitor like wait you had this like this, this is, that was you. Yeah. She's my wife. Yeah, exactly. So no, I would, I loved like. A little Trojan horse action, maybe. I don't specifically remember playing them when I was older, older, but I got better played with them until I was 12, like old enough to not be playing with GI Joes anymore.

And like, when I say GI Joes, I don't mean like the big, like 12 inch like 12 inch tall ones i mean like the small like they're staying on the platform like army guys yeah yeah army uh yeah not army guys that are like fixed though like the ones that like were movable and stuff like the okay arms have been and stuff aletha army guys yeah exactly um nice and i mean besides that i just i played so many sports growing up like, like my closet of my bat or my, uh, my, the top of my closet in my bedroom was like, like destroyed from like dunking on like my basketball goal at the top of your closet. Yeah. Cause like, like the plastic, like we would like, you know, rip it down and like, it would like just get all messed up or like, you know, we like actually push each other into the closet or something. And it was kind of a,

it was one of those like foldable, like door foldable closets and so like they're not super strong so if you push those things they're they're gonna give a little bit so i mean we just got into normal things sports and in 64 and you know all that fun stuff so a weird thing you just made me think of this that i did in the realm of sports ever since i can remember i was really into the realism and the realistic aspect of video games in sports so like i mean i might have been in like sixth grade playing madden and you know everyone else wanted to play like you know slugfest or nfl blitz and i was like i want to play madden and i want 15 minute quarters and i would let the play clock run down oh my god because

i wanted it to be like as realistic as possible like i would put on fourth down i would kick every pat like i would play the teams that the chiefs were playing that week okay like i was obsessed with recreating it as realistically as possible which i ever i didn't think that was weird at all i was just like this is what's fun this is how you should play a video game that's funny and then as i got older and older i was like oh no one you play four minute quarters yeah no one played yeah play four minute quarters? Yeah. No one played Madden like this. No. You're like, I need to have a good balance between run and pass.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. So the play action works. Yeah. You guys have to play action. Yeah.

Trying to get some single coverage here. That's great. Yeah. Let them load the box and then you punish them. Did you do a lot when you played basketball by yourself? Did you simulate a lot? Like, you know, you were playing another team uh like video games or what do you mean no like in your room with the closet uh you know no absolutely you're in your in your like backyard

or wherever you're shooting hoops like dude i love that recreating all these scenarios or just creating yeah oh no he got fouled he got fouled he got fouled and then like you know whatever oh there's 0.3 seconds left on the clock they They do the alley-oop. And I would always recreate myself as like the most like walk-on player at KU. Like I always, we always got the poster every single year with like all the players on there. And so like, there was a guy named Chris Zerbe back in the day. That's my guy. Never played a minute, you know, unless they were just dominating people. And, you know, Chris Zerbe all of a sudden one day, you know, had to come in because all these other guys were getting hurt chris zerby scored 25 points so that's who

you played as in your head i mean i play as all of them but yeah i really gave shine to like the guys that weren't supposed to be that good so i would play as myself in the future a lot okay but i was never the hero it was like i i know i'm not ever gonna dunk a basketball you had real so even you were so realistic yeah like my like highlights for like when I get older, it was still like me throwing out the oops. It was like, I'm not the guy who's going to dunk it. But like, what about this pass? Yeah.

Right. And so you would you literally just pass it? I pass it. And then I would go like I would run over and then do the reverse of it, like bounce off the ground and catch the pass and dunk it on a small hoop. But yeah, I would always I was really big into recreating the athletes I watch. This is probably pretty normal, though. I'm just like just like i remember i had all the ku basketball players free throw routines memorized i would practice that in my basement i had all the st louis cardinals like

batting stances memorized right almost every mlb player back in the day had their batting stance down did you ever get like uh like mentally were you ever like oh man i never make it because when i'm acting like carrie kittles like you know like, or like, oh, I'm going to, I'm going to make this shot because it's Aaron Miles from the free throw or of course I'm making this one, like whatever, like all these different people that ever crossed your mind. Like I always make it when I'm Chris Zerbe, but like, yeah, drew good in, you know, he always misses for whatever. Yeah. I keep him humble, but Chris Zerbe, he needs the praise. I should be JJ Redick more.. That's more fun. Anyway. Yeah.

Good stuff. Hey, good talk. Fun question. Thanks, Emily Hines. Let's do one more from Joanna. Could be. Joanna, na, na, na. Hey, Jake and Brad. This is Joanna from Huntington Beach, California.

I have been loving your podcast so far. I just started listening in the fall. Thank you. And I'm only on episode 91. So I still am working hard to get caught up. So I don't know if you have been assigned this challenge yet in all those episodes that I haven't listened to, but I was wondering if you guys could help me out. My husband and I are expecting a baby this fall and I'm just heading into my second trimester. I don't have much of a baby bump yet, but when I do,

I have a feeling that strangers when I'm out and about are going to a want to touch my baby bump or B give me unsolicited advice. Do you guys have any good comebacks or things that I can say to these strangers who are going to approach me about my baby bump. All right. Thanks, guys. Bye-bye. First things first.

Oh, you're pregnant? You just go, what? Just act like it's like, no. Oh, my. How did that get there? It's a 24-hour window. I don't know. No.

You're right. That's's crazy that's crazy wow you're pretty observant i had no idea you must be wow you know my mom said my mom said somebody would notice and they were right you nailed it you nailed it honey uh real quick just before i forget she's from huntington beach last episode we talked about you're like Huntington, New York. It's like the only thing I know is Huntington Beach. But she's like only on episode 91. That's wild. And she left a voice memo.

She knew. A couple days ago. So, Joanna, like months from now, it's probably like summertime for you. You're going to get caught up to this episode. You left a voicemail about Huntington Beach the same week we talked about Huntington Beach. You just didn't know it. Wow. That's cool.

That's cool. Okay. Anyway. Yeah. Someone comes up to you i think one option is you deny the pregnancy and you say they're like whoa bumps getting a little bigger you say yeah thankfully it is benign but the doctor said they've never seen a mole this big it is one of the bigger moles in north america i have a friend p. His cyst is actually on the backside. It's way worse.

Yeah, other excuses of why it's big. Yeah, I've been eating good. I mean, yeah, classics. You ever had frozen custard? Way better than ice cream. Hey, between you and me, I'm actually trying to smuggle a basketball. Got this from some lifetime fitness.

Yeah, that's right. That poor guy has no idea. Yeah, I don't know. Thanks for asking two guys this question. I like the idea of like, because it's very normal now to compare it to like, how big is he? He's the size of just a grape right now. Oh, my gosh. I think comparing it like, oh, thank you.

He's like, compared to the size of something that could be any size. Like, yep, he's the size of a balloon right now. big is that you know yeah you've seen a balloon he's the size of a plate isn't that cool isn't that awesome yeah a cup they say he could fit in a cup they could fit in a cup right now if you were to take him out and put him down he could fit in a cup next week it'll be a bowl so that's pretty funny they say he is the size of a small animal right now yeah the size of a dog so uh whenever whatever one you want that's just a very ambiguous size oh size of a small hat it's like i don't know what is that is that even a thing yeah yeah like a gap like a gap hat that's the size of him he is the size ipad ipad mini i don't know yeah he's uh he's the size of one of the generations of iphones any of them yeah so pretty cool huh no i have no idea what to say yeah i yeah i think or maybe just get like weights if if they want to lean into it you lean into it even more you make them yeah you like it

you want to touch it yeah touch it yeah it's getting my belly hasn't kicked for a while but like it's which means it'll probably kick soon so first probably five seven minutes from now it'll kick he usually kicks my navel put your finger in there see if you could feel him get deep in the navel yeah yeah shy them away from ever asking again do something pretty unforgettable well what i've i've noticed uh or maybe i've heard k Catherine tell stories about people misgendering little infant babies when it's very obvious. Like, Hattie will have a big bow on her head whenever she was six months old. And people will be like, oh, he is just so precious. And she'll be like, how are you that wrong?

It's like a pink bow. Yes. And vice versa. With bow, people will just, why assume? Why not just say, hi, why assume? Why don't I just say hi little baby? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hi baby. You know, whatever. Like, Hey there. Yeah. With Bo, I remember she even said like, yeah, some people thought he was a girl and it's like really offensive to moms. I don't really, I guess I would kind of mind a little

bit if, if I was with them and somebody called my boy a girl or something, but like, whatever, like I would just say, Oh, actually he's a boy. See how he's got a basketball on his shirt and no pink anywhere. Cool. We got any more? Um, no, we have some, but they are written form and they're actually on the Apple podcast app and there was a series of stars left alongside them. Okay. So let's do our voice memos that were written of the week. Okay. Uh, mine is coming from Lucas fish.

Really? What did he say? Uh, the cheese five stars. This is the best pot I've ever listened to. I came over from correct opinions and I haven't looked back on Jake and Brad yet. Hasn't gone perverse,

uh, lighthearted, relatable humor, and all the glorious inside jokes you'd ever need. This pod slaps different. Thank you guys for all you do. P.S. Listening from Maine.

Hope to see you in Portland, Jake. It's a long drive. Oh, there's a Portland, Maine too, guys. That's what you're talking about.

Anyway. Thank you, Lucas. It's a long drive. That's funny. Are you going to Portland soon? I think in like three weeks

okay we're doing like yeah northeast run which would be good cool maybe see some people I want to hit up the guys who sold me the limo

and let them know I'm coming to town oh yeah they would love it you guys had like a relationship with them yeah Tim and Greg spent five days with them

they sold us a limo that had broken brake pads so yeah we bonded but then they were like cool about it they were very very awesome they were like dude i'm so sorry that happened yeah here's a lobster on me thank you lobster bisque would be nice too we're even uh mine's from soccer 2474 says this podcast oh wait no that's not the one i meant to read sorry soccer

we read yours two weeks ago anyway um these guys are so funny and always make me laugh really hard. All right. Even if I'm sad or upset, they can make me happy. Keep up the good work. You guys, the username is pledge sniffer pledge sniffer, which is a funny username. That's one of those ones they created like at 18 years old. Yeah, that's great. I that's mainly the part of the review that I like the most is that their name is pledge sniffer.

One of my favorite. Yeah, pledge Sniffer. One of my favorite things about college was that whenever you enrolled, you had to say your username or whatever. And no one realized when you were enrolling that your username was going to be your email address for the rest of college. And so some people's usernames were like Pretty and Pink Princess 95. Basketball Boy. Yeah, exactly. Luckily, mine was just straight up bls30 but good there are people that did like you know their high school mascots on there yeah lancer for life warriors you know it's like oh that's too bad for you yeah oh that's too bad tigers 24 really proud blood sniffer i know uh snapchat's thing for the longest time was that you can never change your username.

So people were so embarrassed. They've had this for six, seven years now. Oh, okay. And then I think just last week I saw on Twitter, Snapchat was like, you could finally get that embarrassing username away. Oh, nice. So I deleted Snapchat though. So wouldn't know.

Good for you. Don't use it anymore. Brad, would you like to end this episode with a jingle? Yes. Okay. This is from Europe and Derek DeCilio, aka Europe Bailey Don't. Oh, they're fun. They came to F12. Jingle to the tune of You Give Love a Bad Name
