oh baby it's friday afternoon and you know what that means this is a ghost owners podcast episode thank you guys for listening it's pibbo clock uh yeah is pib okay you betcha oh i got a fridge full of them you know i love me some dr pepper but pib is right up there for me pib's a great replacement yes compared to like we don't have coke we have diet coke it's like oh just i don't know give me a water yeah yeah i'll take a root beer maybe like like i'm talking like sprite obviously better than sierra miss you know coke obviously better than pepsi but pib right up there with dp it really is right up there also you said root beer that reminded me two times in the last i don't know nine days yeah i have asked for a dr pepper and gotten a root beer that is earth shattering that

will wake you up that's when you're expecting that's weird i know they're both soda but root beer is a pretty like oh it's unique taste yeah people keep doing it they know they know i'm not expecting how interesting and you like root beer more than most people i know it's what i get from panda express oh really i have certain restaurants where i get certain drinks what kind of root beer they have they have mug i have no idea oh really i'm not brand loyal but i just oh really it seems to go well with orange chicken. Catherine, like, uh, I was talking about, um, I don't know, like we were somehow talking about root beer floats. I was like, oh, we should get a root beer float with Hattie sometime. Catherine's like, I don't know if she's

going to like root beer. I'm like, what? Who wouldn't like, like, why would you just assume your daughter's not going to like root beer? Like, I think she thought it was like too spicy or something. I put root beer in the same category I put mustard in. I love it. Okay. I enjoyed it a lot, but I can see how people would not like it because it's a little unique. It's a little different. I feel like that with cream soda, not necessarily regular old A&W.

This isn't how we're going to start the episode. No, it's not. Have you ever had butter beer from like Universal Studios, like Harry Potter World? No. It's a lot like cream soda. Okay. I was a little like cream soda. Okay. I was a little turned off because the word, you know, beer is in it. And you know.

Or butter. I don't really need anything that says butter in the name for drinks. If it's a liquid. Yeah. Yeah. So either. But I tried it and it was frothy and it was cold and it hit the spot. It was like a more sugary version of cream soda.

Like what kind of, how frothy are we talking? Like, are we talking like. How thirsty are the people listening to this right now we're just talking nothing but drinks um i don't think it was as frothy as beer also i think they have two options i think they had like an iced option like a frappe option and just like a there's ice in it option okay i see but either way it's not like a beer where you don't get ice in it correct unless you put ice in your beer i don't know maybe maybe you're that kind of guy. I don't know how I like my beer. You're like filling up the mug at the refrigerator, like crush your cube with your Bud Light, huh? I'm like at the concession stand of a game.

Always annoying having to put the ice in afterwards, right? Always splashes everywhere. You guys know? Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too then west best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's the ghost okay welcome back to a Ghost Hunters podcast episode. The opening bit that I was going to start with, I'll go ahead and still tell you anyway. Great. Roommate Luke was sharing with us the other night that he was watching some Netflix documentary

called Losers or something like that. Yeah, I think it's called Losers. Oh, because we were talking golf and he was like, yeah, this one golfer had like one of the biggest meltdowns in history. So they did like a mini episode on him because it's fun to be interviewed for that. Yeah. Cause of how much you live this terrible life. And he's like, yeah, it's just a show all about people who've like lost dramatically.

And he's like, there was one episode where this guy goes out to run an ultra marathon and gets lost in the desert for like 30 days. What is ultra? Oh, wow. And I was like, what a loser. Oh man, that must be terrible. Oh man, you really suck. Oh, you really blew it. What's an ultra marathon even mean? Is that just like a hundred miles or something crazy? It's this, basically it's an event for people who have hit the genetic lottery and have like, I think eight sets of lungs, I believe is correct. It's like a cow's stomach.

Yes. And no, it truly is. I think you have to have some sort of genetic deficiency or efficiency because the amount there, I think they've run like 100 miles, you know, and then they, or no, wait. Yeah, I think it might be like running 100 miles or something. That sounds so miserable i don't know if i know anyone who's actually done it you know like no one in my circles i know i have a friend who ran 100 miles in a weekend one time really i don't know if it was all together

or separately but yeah in a weekend yeah he's a dentist now that's like a that's like a dog sled race you know it's like we can't even do this in one day. We got to like sleep overnight. We got it. I'm not very well versed in dog sledding. You don't want to talk Iditarod? I would love to talk Iditarod. I just, I just need to learn more about it with you. Um, I Googled ultra marathon and it says it's any race longer than a traditional marathon.

26.3. Slap that on there. Ultra marathon, baby. I thought that it was like, okay okay okay oh my gosh no wait okay we were in the metric system there for a while i was like that's pretty far whatever we don't need to talk about this clearly we are not the people to talk about ultra marathons here's how i know that i'm not a big race guy besides the fact that i'm just big daddy um i i I, I get worried whenever I go to like a race, like a 5k, whenever I have to start like too far back in the line. Yeah. I'm

like, this is, this is extra time that I, this is, this is like another extra half mile. Like that's when you know, like you're screwed, dude. Like you are going to die on this thing. If like 75 feet is making you feel like unjust, you're like, Hey, I think we should start running. Like once we get to the line, right? Like all these people start running way back in the back. You're trying to talk to everyone around you. Hey, you cool with walking to the front? Let's not start our time until we get there.

It's like a really light jog. So I'm like just trying to speed walk next to my dad. Like dad, you don't need to, you don't need to start running yet. Yeah. Let's wait until we see the thick white line. So you ran a 5k. Oh yeah. Really?

Oh yeah. We used to, well, well yeah we used to do it every year at thanksgiving so i probably did that like five or six times like five or six years like and if you're like even somewhat in shape you just do it and it's not a big deal but then when you're not it's bad dude it's amazing like how much it's like oh i can i can do this it's not still though you don't five or six you look look underneath my belt brad i don't know if i need to you'll see there's zero i I have zero under my belt. I haven't done a single 5k. You would be able to do it just fine. I have been nervous, but I've been talking

to a guy who's been trying to convince me to run a 401k. And it seems like a lot, but he's like, no, a lot of people your age are doing it. So let's see, 5k is like three miles so 401k is uh anything over 3.1 yeah something like that an ultra k it's an ultra k no you get a lot of return on that investment though usually that's what he keeps saying and i'm just like in what like an acupuncture like the next day it feels better or like the next i don't know how long well when roth puts it on it's like better i think roth has to do it yeah yeah i mean the worst thing you could do is marry into a family that does 401ks i would not want to do that man thanksgiving turkey trot 401k oh gosh i hope not married to a family which i mean i'm not saying

you're marrying into it but rachel's a very active family right yeah at least rachel is very active like rachel likes golfing uh but rachel likes running next to the golf cart like an old farm dog yeah like like just all right i'll see you make sure she's behind you yeah she'll she'll skirt out in front of you you gotta be careful does she really so she's like she's like a squirrel um wait what did you say does she consistently like pretty much like every hole like i think in a perfect world she would like to i think when she rides to the car with me she's being nice because she wants to spend time with me yeah but i think in her own world like when she goes with her family 100 of the time she is like running alongside them interesting like an old farm dog yeah that's great but good for her dude speaking of her family i watched an 18 minute

video last night about the efficiency of iowa corn farming oh yeah i don't land over films wind over production wind over productions yeah which i maybe would have been interested in this a year ago but i was really into it last night i was like this is great were you like thinking about like all the things you can tell uh steve yeah not steve you're steve steve or steve either steve i'd love to talk to him about it well yeah your dad knows about corn farming. Corn and soybean. Yeah. Yeah. So what did you learn? Give me a few bullet points, dude. Well, it seems just so complicated to be a farmer. You know, it's not just like you plant the corn seed, you know, it's just like, I mean, there's so many different versions of corn. You know, it's like, this is better if it's a little

like drier, if it's going to be a drier summer, this is better if it's a little like drier if it's gonna be a drier summer this is better if it's a you know a little wetter summer this yields um thicker corn this yields like longer stock you know it's like i don't even know what you want yeah i also learned that almost all of the corn made in america we're not eating it brad yeah it's like the cows it's going to uh yeah to feed livestock yeah for ethanol okay in gasoline or to oh in like um fructose like corn syrup something like that so we are hey cheers to iowa to the farmers yeah that's what the extra is because extra corn syrup guys we just cheers yeah guys listening on spotify hasn't seen it um interesting yeah yeah it's it's like my whole my brother-in-law his whole business he's a crop consultant because like farmers don't always have

the time to be able to make these decisions of like how much do i plant or which you know what chemicals do we use or whatever like how much water do we need to put down so he like goes and assesses the land for him and says this is what you should do and he like so he's not even a farmer himself but he just like makes so much money off of farmers, like giving them advice. That's a risky, risky business to be in. I feel like there's just so much money at stake. Sure. And dude, I was watching people entrust you with a lot.

That's why they're paying you a lot is because you're going to make them a lot or not, you know? And then if you don't, then like, dude, you're out, which I don't think ever. I'm sure it's happened before before but it's not very often that it happens to him and this video also had me feeling just like man we were really at the mercy of the weather oh yeah that can ruin just everything why do you think farmers are so like spiritual man like no seriously like my friend greg he's like like his dad like like he's like yeah we have to pray all the time for ray like we have to pray like yeah he's like we

pray like for the weather all the time. Like, and he freaks, you know, his dad freaks out if there's a drought or whatever. And it's like, you don't have to think about those things in the city. This is things like this are amazing. When you think about like prayer or God or just anything that's happening, it's like you might be praying for one thing, but because it's like, oh, this would be so bad if it gets rained out. Then you think about like how many farmers their livelihood depends on.

It's like, you know what? I could probably skip the picnic. yeah yeah not a huge deal oh like like fifth grade whenever your baseball game got rained out i was so bummed especially like during the school year when it's like that's the one thing you've been looking forward to all day what are we gonna do now playing the slammers like slammers are going down they beat us last week we're beating them this week and it's like brad baby you can just watch the royals are playing tonight it's like i don't want to watch jeff king no the 90s royals suck john buck get him out of here chuck knoblock okay end of his career maybe chuck knoblock good batting stance oh dude yeah

that's fun the opening day is back opening day is back all right you know baseball's back which i didn't watch any of yesterday but but no, I'm going to get into it. I think a little bit. One of my friends, Davis Finley, he put up on a story that he was at the game and just captioned it. It's snowing. Is it actually? Yeah. It kind of was that day. What? Yeah. Really? Also Rachel had outdoor track practice that day. Dude, I thought, okay. So I drove past, I thought of Rachel yesterday. I drove past a track meet. It was really more of the field meet, like the discus and the javelin and stuff yes and i thought to myself like there were a few parents like kind of outside like the discus ring you know they have like just like kind of

standing there observing and i thought there is no more miserable place in the entire world than like one of those like like like it's usually like this time of year in kansas where it's like this really like obnoxiously cold like 45 degree windy time yes and like you're usually like this time of year in Kansas where it's like this really like obnoxiously cold like 45 degree windy time yes and like you're in like your sweat like sweatpants and sweatshirt hoodie and you're standing outside like watching one person throw like a discus like this that's that's that's terrible no no one enjoys track and field I just I just don't believe it let me let me do you one better here because you're pretty much right on. So yeah, Rachel is at a track meet. Some coaches just, I guess, don't show up.

I don't know how it works, but like, hey, so Rachel or, you know, Coach Coop, you are actually going to be in charge of the throwers today. Rachel's like, great. I already am coaching a sport I've never competed in. Why don't I teach them how to throw a shot put? They're seventh grade girls after all. Yeah, right. And on top of that, like one of her students didn't bring a coat and just like or i shouldn't say doesn't bring like probably can't

afford a coat and so then rachel gives her her coat and so she's just standing up there rachel's like naturally warm-blooded right it's the thing is she doesn't mind being cold at all yeah yeah yeah not her yeah right it doesn't affect her happiness one day yeah i've never yeah talked about that. So I was like, you are a really sweet woman. Also, you should start packing like three coats. Yeah. That's too bad though for that girl.

Yeah. I mean, it's just miserable out there, man. Because in football, you had to play a spring sport. That was like a thing in high school. It was like, you have to do something. They made you guys. Yeah. And they didn't even like, you couldn't even do like a caveat of like, well, I want to play tennis.

It's like, unless you're like a real tennis player, you're not playing tennis. Really? Could you play like, hey, I want to play spring seven on seven football? No. Like, no, it has to be another sport. No, it had to be like, well, I don't think the coaches wanted to do, we didn't have seven on seven football, but I don't think the coaches want to do like afterschool weights or anything. Gotcha.

And so like, just do track to stay in shape. And so it was like all these football players that were just miserable and not wanting to be there at all. Like we literally like just went to the practice and never went to the actual meets. You never even competed. No. it was like all these football players that were just miserable and not wanting to be there at all. Like we literally like just went to the practice and never went to the actual meets. You never even competed? No.

I was like, this is dumb. Like I'm not good at this. It looked like I was playing bocce ball when I threw the shot put. Like I wasn't getting it far at all. They're like, Brad, are you just trying to get close to the other players?

No, I'm throwing as far as I can. I swear. I swear I'm throwing as far as I can. It's like you're playing bocce ball. Oh yeah. Like I was trying to play ultimate frisbee with the discus or something. Yeah. I mean throwing it as far as I can look like you're playing bocce ball oh yeah like I was trying to play ultimate frisbee with the discus or something

yeah I mean it was just terrible like it was like this is miserable do they let high schoolers compete in javelin yeah I think so do they

because it seems dangerous but you have to get good at it at some point I guess I'm pretty sure I saw some jabs being thrown around when I drove past and it looked like I had middle school

last night so I don't know it just looked miserable though I was just like no one's having fun out there yeah track I could. I could see like, if you're fast track would be really fun. Like that's like, that's a rush. If you're running a hundred meters next to somebody else, like that would be fun. Discus. There's no way. There's no way. Like what's the most dramatic, like fun thing that happens if you're throwing a discus. I threw it further than I ever

have. Yeah. I threw it and it went just a little farther than Aaron. It's like, cool. That's it. That's, that's the end. And it's like running around a track is a way better spectator sport. Everyone could see, Whoa, you're in first. Whoa, you're fast. Whoa, this guy's gaining on him. Oh, he's catching up. Right. Discus. It's like, ah, was that good? Yeah. Because sometimes it goes right. Sometimes it goes left. But just because it's like, was that good? I don't know. Yeah, because sometimes it goes right. Sometimes it goes left. So then they have to like, I can't even tell, you know, if that's more diagonal. So, you know, whatever.

And I don't know how your track was set up at Stratford or I think any meet that I ever went to. They, I mean, the poor throwing people, they're like in a different field. Oh, yeah. It's like way down there. It's like, why don't you just throw it at home and you text us and tell us how far you threw it all right just go to your front yard yeah like we never even saw them compete no it was so sad it was yeah there was no there was you just came back and be like yeah i lost oh okay well yeah i can't even remember where it was they might have stood on the baseball field or

something i think it was just like just get out of here we don't care where you do it just do not do it here mound that's that's as good as it's like, just get out of here. We don't care where you do it. Just do not do it here. Get out of here. Anyway. So anyway, what are you up to today or this week? This week, I watched my favorite college basketball team when the national championship on Monday, I had to feel good. It was fun. Um, so yeah, we don't have to, we don't have to talk about too much, but KU on the national championship, fun, little comeback, fun, little comeback, best comeback ever in national championship game. So, the crazy thing i'm not a superstitious guy my mom used to always say my god is bigger than superstition that's good and it actually is a pretty freeing thing because then people are like like people are like oh you gotta go sit over there

because whatever and then i'm like no i don't because that's not how the world works the only one i will subscribe to is zach warhan and the Elka Joes bathroom. That was great. Now that one works. Get back in the bathroom. My dad still loves that story. Zach, get back in there. But anyway, first half, like Catherine was feeding Rose and then holding Rose and like,

you know, whatever. And then she, you know, gets done and like, she's like, can I, or can you hold her? So I held her starting at halftime and held her the rest of the game oh oh i'm it's just it's just a i mean it's a direct correlation it's not like a that's because of rose it's because i was holding her you're just you're reporting the facts they're down 15 you hold rose they win and here's a fun fact that you might not know about newborn babies is that they can sleep through anything. And by anything, I mean, like I screamed, like I yelled. And it was no problem. My wife was a little bit worried.

She goes, Brad, you're going to scare her. You're going to, I was like, look at her. She is not moving a muscle. And I, yeah. Cause like there was one time where KU was tied, it was 50 to 50 and then they hit a three pointer and then they sold the ball, got an N1 and I screamed. I was like, yeah,

like I, I screamed once and that felt so good to scream once that I screamed like twice as loud the second time, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Cause I like, like,

like once I let a little bit out, I was like, Oh, that felt good. That was nice. I needed some more. So I was really, I did that multiple times.

And then at the end of the game, yeah, I just recorded the the tv and then panned over to rose i was like this is my girl you have my word hey you would take a charge starting next week i'll hit a double screen for you i'll be real excited okay dude katherine at the while we were watching that game she's like she watched somebody take a charge she's like brad i'm genuinely worried that you're gonna hurt yourself taking a charge i was like i'll be fine i'm gonna go more for like i'm gonna hope that somebody pushes off somebody like extends their

arm yeah yeah you think not like close to the basket yeah i'm gonna try to garrett gibson them a little bit like get under their skin a little bit and get them frustrated like cheap shot on me i'm fine with like a swift like you know hit on the nose or something that's great with me you know i'll fling back really oh yeah i would much rather take a charge than get like hit in the nose i don't know how to take a charge that's the thing it just falls down but i'm worried that if i fall my head just nails the nails what i mean i really believe in your neck strength i don't think you're just like a rag doll like i think you can keep your head up yeah i think you can fall okay we could try it yeah maybe we practice a few times you see like other people doing layup lines we're doing doing charge drills. Oh, that's great. That would be fun. No one wants

to go behind me because like they know that I'm excited. Basketball starts up next week. It'll be fun. Yeah. Uh, I have, I actually have a basketball story, um, at church a couple of weeks ago. Um, so upward, which had, and I love supporting upward. Yes. It's just like the, you know, the little, like little kids league, um, that they do at our church. Uh, their season got over little kids, league lovers, little kids, league lover. Um, their season got over and our friend, Sam, who's the children's pastor, our church, he went to SBU with Jake, uh, gets up there and like make an announcement. Like we're so thankful. Like it was a great season and we have some highlights to show you. Oh.

And you have to understand, my church that I go to is Southern Baptist. And what I mean by Southern Baptist is it's just very old school, traditional. Lots of old people there. Like 10 years ago when our pastor got there, he decided to still wear a suit, but take off the tie. And that was a big deal. Like there was some drama there. So it's just like a very staunch know staunchy like a lot of old people and so sam's like we had these highlights going on and i swear it was like skrillex music it was like just dubstep it's like all these little like this like footage of like these

five-year-old girls yeah trying to shoot into like a seven foot hoop. And I mean like, and like, it's probably two minutes of that. Like just so long. Did it make it, the footage seem cooler? Yeah. A little. Okay. And then, I mean, it was pretty well done.

And then at the end it just ended and Sam just goes, amen. Amen. Amen. Like, like yeah give it up like i just wanted to know so badly what's like sam sam listened to our podcast so sam if you got any feedback from that i'm like what was that music because i'm sure it's like amen because upwards like a big national thing so i'm sure maybe they send like a template of like here's how you do your end of the year video. Maybe in my head, that's what I'm thinking. I like to think that Upward told Sam to give us a quick gospel presentation. And every time I saw that video, he's like, I mean, I can't do better than that.

I think the video speaks for itself, right guys? Amen. See you next session. Amen. Oh, it was so great, dude. I haven't talked to Sam about it yet, but here I am blasting him on it for the for the podcast so but it was great dude that's so i think we need to have a skrillex style uh you know

highlight video of the new year i'll have rachel bring a camera to every game make sure that's a good idea or just like yeah maybe a couple cameras baseline sideline yeah drone should we just like get a few tripods going a few yeah yeah yeah we can get a few i have like three in my room so that'd be perfect we'll just leave them at hy-vee arena actually in your room i don't need them one on the ceiling one yeah one bathroom and then one face in the mirror okay it's next to the bed good for you thanks yeah just just at a moment's notice if you need to run out and do a video with trey yeah yeah i'm. I'm excited about basketball. I think it'll be good. It's the same team.

We're running it back. Run it back. Revenge tour is what they call it. Yeah. Run it, run it back further than last time. Run it back. Everyone come to the championship game,

please run it back. Plus like the 75 yards behind the starting line, run it back. But Joel, you could stay home. You don't need to come watch us play. Yeah. The last game,

run it back. But the guy that comes an hour and a half does like, does get to play. If he comes. Yeah. It'll be fun. Yeah. We should joel come and play with us a couple times i still feel a little bad from that oh yeah we owe him yeah because i even told him i was like dude like let me know next time you're doing anything in fort scott like i'll come watch you like it didn't have to be a sport if you're mowing the lawn like i will sit there and watch you because i owe you that he's a youth pastor like let me know if you're going disc golfing with

some kids sometime i'll come watch man i'll come watch clap you on even if me joining would make even teams i can't i just want to watch there you go because it's going to kill me not to compete and that's what i owe you yeah and i want to be dressed for it because he was in like you know the tights oh he shoes the jersey yeah so i owe him that ready yeah poor guy um what was i gonna say about that oh scott thinks that we need to call our team puddle city yeah he texted me that last week and i was like dang i already like submitted our team name but that's a great you know what's our team name this time uh who did i go with oh i think it was isaac's turn because we were i think ghost hunters dot life and then we're ls custom creation

so this time i went villagewood works love it and so we'll slowly get everyone's job in there rustin i know you have know you have a business. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep showing up. Keep doing it. Yeah. Well, let's make Rustin's like the last one because that way he'll have to play with us for longer.

Yeah. Just so he can get like that publicity. Like just, Rustin, you can't leave until your team name is your business. Come on, dude. We're just, it's random. Three more sessions, maybe. It'll be great, man.

Basketball's gonna be fun. I'm in a volleyball league coming up soon. Actually, it started this week, but I didn, it's random. Three more sessions, maybe. It'll be great, man. Basketball's gonna be fun. I'm in a volleyball league coming up soon. Actually, it started this week, but I didn't get to go because we were celebrating Harrison Pollard's birthday. Yeah, I want to hear about this. It was really, really fun. Tell them the premise of where you guys went. I had seen this thing on like a Facebook ad,

which you know I'm a sucker for. If it's clothing or bomb techs, I will probably buy it if the internet suggests it. You are like, I bet the marketing demographic people like love you like you know what i mean like it seems like you convert like you get a lot of your sales converted i think so and then again think about how many ads you see in a day so it's not like i'm clicking on everything it's like out of 200 i will buy one but i'm not sure if i've ever bought a single thing and that's the thing i think i'm still above average but it's nothing crazy it's not like oh yeah you know so soap in the shape of a football yeah let's get that you know

i'm not just buying everything um but uh oh i saw this thing it was like basically uh a high production recreation of very popular game shows uh that the studio is doing here in kansas city and it looks great i mean they have like a huge, like life-size, like Plinko game you can play. They have a huge wheel you could spin. They've got projectors, lights, microphones, jumbo dice. Oh, baby. And it just looks fun.

And you can have like groups, like massive groups come do it. We had a group of like 17 go. And so I texted Harrison a couple of weeks ago and I just go, hey, as far as your birthday goes, do you trust me? And he said, 100%. So I go, great and so I Harrison didn't know what was happening which is great because the parking lot so this business sits in between a Hooters and a Chuck E Cheese so I would have loved to been in the car with Harrison as he rolls up being like where are we going what's

going on and then it's game show battle rooms okay uh but it was really fun I think I looked it up and there's like multiple, like there's Milwaukee, a national thing, Minneapolis, and Kansas city. Oh, okay. There's three. But another great part of it, which I'm not going to doctor too much, but it's funny. So me and Harrison's girlfriend, Abby, were kind of playing this together.

Like I had the idea and I was like, Abby, you invite everything would want to be there. And Abby texts me a couple of days later. She's like, okay. So like, what do you want to do about costs? Like, obviously you shouldn't have to pay for everything. And I was like, thank you. Yeah.

Thank you very much. That's, that's big of you. It's gotta be like $700. So, uh, yeah. I mean, obviously you're doing pretty well, but, uh, I don't know. I mean, you don't, I, please don't pay for everything. She's like, Jake, Jake, Jake. Now don't, don't pay all $700 yourself yourself you're like yeah i was thinking we just split

it evenly that's what i told her i was like normal people i was like i mean everyone who's coming is an adult with a career right i think they can i think they're good and it's one of their best friends sure and i think it'll be a lot of fun right don't need to go on do i need to say no i didn't do any of that but uh yeah it just really cracked me up i mean you probably shouldn't have to pay for all right yeah you should have been like well i was thinking about it but now that you're saying that like okay you know what maybe i should i think it would bring some people joy to like also contribute for harrison you know okay so like what was like give me some of the best best and worst like oh i could i could leave i could leave the jumbo dice back at home.

Like, I don't, I don't need those again. It was like Plinko was magnetic or magnetic electric. Well, both. It was really, really fun. Like, uh, yeah, I just had so much fun that they do a good job. Like these people should for sure work in like youth programming or ministry. They do a good job, um, cranking stuff out. And just one host or is it like, like one kind of host and one guy, producer he was attached to the laptop so kind of a fancy title good for you yeah but uh

so we played the price is right wheel of fortune and family feud okay i just played all three of those like an hour and 10 minutes and uh just split up into two teams and dude i think rachel actually was the one who said she's like i think i just smiled for an hour straight it's like yeah it was just fun just competing and of course like the more you get into something the more fun it is so like you know gunner would have a bad family feud answer so we just scream at him stupid or then gunner would get a ride he'd come and just like dunk on all of us just like basically just mount me from behind um so yeah it was a ton of fun and uh i think maybe potentially whenever we have all the ghosties come to kent city it'd be fun to

like someone organize something like that like do a big group of people or is they just have one room of this or is it like they have multiple different they might have two rooms variations variations yeah okay yeah they might have two um so it's fun it's a good wednesday night yeah yeah how's your baby she's great man um overall she had a, we had a little bit of a rough night last night. I think I was up from like two 30 to five 30, like on and off. It's like, it's like one of those things where like she, so she's sleeping in between us right now in bed. So like that I can help out.

And like, if she's waking up, I can pat her or something, you know? Gotcha. And I mean, it's just tough to sleep. Well, maybe not for you. I think you're going to be a good dad because you're going to be able to sleep through everything. I already feel like guilt about how much I'm going to sleep through. I already know. Well, and often like I'll sleep through things too. And then Catherine will wake me up if she needs me. And yeah, I'll try to be, you know, like, yeah, of course. Yeah. Whatever. Um, but like anytime she makes a little noise and you're right, she's right next to you,

you wake up like, yeah, especially if it's like, you know, a two second long. It's like, OK, that wakes me up. And then that happens, you know, all night long. So then it's like, OK, I'm a little tired the next day because I don't think I got into my deep sleep, you know, whatever. So I think it's we're finally kind of catching up or like the sleep, lack of sleep is catching up to us a little bit. But overall, she's she's awesome, man. She's are you still trying to do table stuff or are you? Yes. Okay. So I know you're taking it easy. I was, so I was anticipating taking it easy this week and I was asking Catherine, there was one like, um, kind of wedding sign that I made for somebody in the wedding was like

April 9th. Like it was like this weekend. And so I was like, I have to get this done. So I asked Catherine, I was like, do you mind if I go out and work for a little bit tomorrow and she's like actually i would love for you to work like really hard this week and then like maybe plan on not working as hard next week gotcha when the kids come back because our kids yeah i've been down in texas and obviously that's going to be crazy for katherine whenever they come back so i was like yeah sure like but in my head i was like kind of mentally thinking like okay this is going to be like a nice time to just like rest and like hold the baby and like just like help out with katherine and it's tough when mentally you already had different expectations you're like okay oh it could be work hard week so i went i went from that to like yeah all of a

sudden yesterday uh this guy i can i can tell you more about this later too but this guy picked up three tables or three different things to be sent out to like chicago congratulations and then detroit area so yeah it was kind of a crazy crazy past few days because then also on wednesday was when we filmed jean shorts and that was like a long day yeah and then i came back from that like i literally got done with that and drove all the way down to busiris you know busiris yeah and picked up some table stuff and then drove back and like worked until, you know, whatever it was, 1230 at night or something. So my goodness. Yeah. It's, it's been a, it's been a little bit of a busy week in that regard. So I'd say that's a very full day. Yeah. And there was a full the day before, like I, I probably didn't go to bed

until one 30, like whatever that is technically Wednesday morning. And then of course, Rose wakes you up a few times. And then i got going with gene short stuff and dude forgot the forgot my suit because i didn't see that text at time but luckily i had my jacket like jake was like hey fyi i don't know if trey told you uh but we i think we're doing a groomsman video this week so bring a suit and i was like crap i was like wait i still have my you know suit jacket and my button-up shirt from up shirt from the best man video we did. Oh, right on. And so I was like, maybe that's okay.

And I had like black jogger pants on. They looked great. I think that was like the most genius thing by Trey. Like to me, I bet Trey, like if it were me, if I were Trey, because I texted Trey, I was like, is this okay? Do I need to go back home? And he's like, no. Like, I think if anything, that's kind of funny. Like the groomsman forgot his pants. And I was like, like hey hey is this okay just wear joggers and the other girls

were like yeah dude who's gonna notice no one's gonna everyone's under the bride it's not a big deal but like if i were him i would just think like oh that's a little bit of a setback let's just film brad from the waist up or something like but like trey's just a little more experienced than that he's like no let's just lean into this this is something that might actually happen right and so you're literally gonna see this video where jake's jake's in like you know coordinating suit and pants you know suit jacket and then there's me with my joggers and my sweat like my dress shirt tucked into my joggers with my suit jacket on so i think that was a pretty funny video it was fun it was a good time yeah and uh got some

good b-roll I think, of us at the park. Oh, yeah. You guys. Well, that just reminded me of the other video we shot that day. So what's it like to buy your first cryptocurrency on Kraken?

The Phenomenon returns to Paramount+. The only way we go home is together. From new season now streaming exclusively on Paramount+. We're trying something new out. Yes. It's going to be so fun. I'm really excited about it. And it's not going to seem like a big deal to you guys at all.

You're talking about the, no, I think people will love it. Hey, you guys, get ready. Sell it. Sell it, baby. Hey, get ready to love something. This is's gonna be the best thing you've ever seen i'm serious i'm i'm pumped about it hey hey go starters i starts you guys like you guys love good ideas i think you're gonna love this you're gonna love this you're gonna love that okay um anyway please like it though, for real, because I was excited. I came up with this idea and I was like, I think this is a good idea. Yeah.

We had a good tag team. Oh, that reminds me. Me and Harrison had a good tag team. So at the game show night, we just randomly split up into teams and we randomly had all three pregnant women on our team. Oh yeah. And so I was like, go ahead. And they're like, all right, choose your team name.

And so I was trying to think of something with the word uterus, because that's just been a word of mine recently. And, but we were the blue team. And so together, blue uterus. Nice. I saw the, like the picture of you guys, like celebrating your like victory or whatever in the background, I could see uterus. And I was like, what did Jake name his team? Cause I knew, I knew it was Jake. I knew like out of all people, like Jake is the one making the uterus name. Like we had Sophie and Emily and you know, Becca, Becca. Yeah. On the same team. Okay. Bluterus, but Brad and I tag teamed. So I came to the, the jean shorts team and was just like, Hey, I spent some time last week with my, uh, there, let's go ahead and start over That way they can appreciate this good idea

In its entirety Do you like good ideas? Well, you're gonna love this Are you like me? And just every time you hear a bad idea It bums you out Well, be prepared to not be bummed out Because we have a good idea

Introducing We have hyped this up so much introducing slightly longer videos oh no no but they're they're longer for fun reasons i think it's fun yeah no no no especially ghost people that listen to our podcast are gonna think it's fun i think you're right i i was talking to rachel about this like i just you know invented a new way to about it too yeah like i was on the phone with katherine i was about to explain i this. Like I just, you know, invented a new way to, yeah. Like I was on the phone with Catherine. I was about to explain. I was like, actually,

this is too long of a thing. I'm going to explain it when I get home. That's right. That's what I told Rachel too. She was like, what was, tell me the best part of your day. And I was like,

I can't text it to you. I have, I have to just tell you later. I was like, okay, should we keep hyping it up guys? Okay. Basically I spent time with some of my friends who are big in the golf YouTube community.

They're killing it. They're pretty good. I mean, golf YouTube community. They're killing it. They're pretty good. I mean, say that again. They're really good. They're like, good, good. That was funny. And just kind of, yeah, got to catch up with them, golf with them, chat with them.

The channel's called Good Good. About different, like, it's fun to also talk to people who are making videos. We don't need to do that very often. A similar career to you. And it was just shocking to see just different success they had we don't need to really get into the metrics uh and all their videos are so long and so i came to trey brad derrick which is like is there anything we can do to make longer videos you know i don't think we can just make an eight minute sketch just keep making jokes for eight minutes of one-liners exhausted you know i was like i

think the format would have to change a little bit uh but everyone was kind of buying into the idea and then brad came up with a specific idea this is the idea i just had like the idea of like i think it'd be fun to see like the behind the scenes like how the sausage is made basically like turkey sausage you know i've been watching a lot of shark tank this week with katherine and every once in a while like right before this this, like the people come out, they, they, there's like five, four, three. And it's like, you see like a little bit of behind the scenes. And even that I'm like, Oh, that's so cool. That's fun. You're going to see that. And so I was like, what if they could watch us like kind of see what it's like as a, as far as us writing and

brainstorming this stuff. And so we're going to do, we, we basically, we're going to do that. And then the bloopers, the video is like in three parts, basically. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And so I think, I think it's going to be fun because obviously if you're listening to this podcast, you like us personally, not just as actors. I don't, I don't think that we're that good of actors. I think we're better at like the writing aspect of it. And we just, I was going to say, I was like, you know, how to execute a little bit, you know? Oh, I definitely feel that way. You and Trey can pull off quite a few different characters and they're pretty good you know trey is a really good actor i'll take that back yeah trey is very very good at acting

i think both of us we're learning but it's still like we are novices at this actually we can think of funny things on the spot exactly yeah i think we're much better conversationally right or writing comedy than we are acting in it and that that's actually something I meant to text Lindsay and Morgan recently, just to kind of encourage them like, hey, don't feel like, or just basically feel free to think of things like my favorite characters to play are the ones where I can relate to it. Sheltered Kid, People Pleaser, Piggy Eater. And those videos all do well,

because I think there is a bit of it that people can tell. This is who you are. So I need to text Lindsay and Morgan that. But anyway, go on. Well, yeah. And so basically, like after the normal video is over, think we're gonna have hopefully a few minutes i don't know how long of bloopers or some kind of just like outtakes of you know jokes we didn't make or like you know things we said after the joke that were silly or whatever and then after those bloopers are

gonna be over then we're gonna show just like a little bit of us brainstorming and kind of talking through different jokes and and like that was electric like when we recorded it a lot of funny things happen energy yeah because we were the video that it's going to feature you know this like eight minute long video is going to be called like life in your 20s versus life in your 30s which is essentially just you know brad against jake right yeah that's as i was writing the jokes i was like that like i'm just going to think of things that jake does that i don't do anymore. And so Brad and I are going back and forth talking about things.

And one of them was about like the lack of sleep we're able to get or like the lack of like convenient sleeping. And then Trey pipes in and tells this story, which is 100% true. Like I remember Trey and I got back from a flight at 11 p.m. from Daytona Beach like two years ago. And the next morning was when I was flying to Hawaii for the first time. And so I was like, man, you know, I'm not going to get home until close to midnight. And when do I have to wake up? 3.30, probably to go back to the airport to be there on time. I was like, I don't trust myself to sleep for three and a half hours and then to wake up. Like there's so much driving. I was like, Trey, like calls

and he was like, Jake, you come on. I was like, nah, I'm going to stay back. And so Trey was telling that story and we were just laughing. I'd forgotten about it. So that's just a great thing to put in the video. Cause that's one of the things in your twenties, you're like, I'll, I'll, I'll save a little bit of money to go for those, like to go for that a little bit cheaper flight. And in your thirties, at least like with me, I'm a little more comfortable now. So I'm like, I'm not going to spit, like get up at like 5 30 AM for this flight. I'm going to spend like $50 more for an, you you know 11 30 flight or something like that so anyway yeah and so we just bantered about stuff like like basically like a podcast for you know whatever five

seven minutes and derek's gonna hopefully condense it down and take the best two minutes of that it's so funny like so derek derek is learning i think to keep rolling with the camera yeah because so often he'll well it's funny. Derek will either roll too early. Sometimes you, you, you know what I mean? When he does that, like, it's like, we're like talking out a joke and it's like, okay, that's kind of like, like, here's an idea for what you could say. And then we say the thing and then we kind of laugh, but it's like, you could tell like, no, one's like really into that. So yeah, it'd be like, Brad, you should say something about how like girls will always like blame, you know, like another driver instead of them okay and they're like all right rolling it's like well hold on i don't know

just like i don't know i'm gonna say other times you know like we'll do stuff and then you know we'll say something else like offhanded funny at the end of it and there's like oh crap i turned it off and so you know he's like so we're like intentionally trying to get more bloopers this time so he's rolling longer but even like it's so funny maybe it, he's like, so we're like intentionally trying to get more bloopers this time. So he's rolling longer, but even like, it's so funny. Maybe it's like mental. Like once I know he's turned off the camera, I get even goofier or something. But anyway, it'll be fun. I think it'll be really cool to like, I don't know, pull back the curtain a little bit,

you know, and just show like, oh, this is where they sit and brainstorm the videos, you know? Oh, this is how they talk about it. Like, okay. You know, whatever. Like, oh, this is Jake's personality is to say this kind of funny thing. Like, yeah, I don't know. I think it's, I mean, us being ourselves is what has led to the growth of this podcast. So I'm like, we, there is a little proof of concept here. Like me and you being

ourselves. Yeah. Some people like it. Right. Yeah. I know. I, I, I kind of complained the other day about filming those outros because i'm just like hey i don't like these things very much and you're like really but i think the thing in my head of like they're valuable because it's like the one time per video that we can be a little bit ourselves you know like so i'm like okay they're probably worth it but yeah anyway i think they're fun so please please support the the new video format when you see life in your 20s versus life in your 30s come out you watch you re-watch you comment you reply to your own comment oh yeah you say great comment yeah you show your grandma grandma gram yeah you show jilly bean show pez dispenser whoever whoever you have

in your life anyway uh make sure and show them okay so i want to hear about your week but i do want to tell you about this this chicago guy. The delivery guy to Chicago. Yeah. So he might be listening because it's the same guy. If you remember me telling the story about the delivery driver, I was like, hey, do you mind actually wait until noon to pick this up? And he sent me the middle finger emoji. Yeah. So in my good judgment, I decided like, that's the guy I'm going to try to use more than once because it's crazy.

This guy, he was the same. He was. So let me remind remind you he flipped me off um but they did on accident and they tried to erase it or whatever and they were the people that were literally living on the road they were waiting on their insurance money from like the house that burned down in paradise california that's right and they got their money and they decided out of all places in the United States, in the U S of a, we're going to plant our flag in junction city, Kansas. So weird, which is just so random. And like, so like, it's really close to Manhattan where K state is. And Manhattan's great junction city.

I don't know what, what's exciting about it. It's just a, I want to see the junction. I mean, two major streets must, you know, two major railroads. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know what's exciting about it, but, but it was like, okay. Then they texted me like, Brad, we moved to Kansas. And I was like, like, I thought to myself, like, do you flip them off? I was like, you better make this a good state. Don't, don't bring your California energy in here. No, but they were like, like, like I was like, did I influence this a little bit like maybe they would have never driven through kansas if it weren't for me i don't know yeah um but i was like okay

they're they're close enough to like deliver stuff for me so uh i don't think have you ever watched last chance you the the one with in kansas i've not okay so the the head coach is from california um like kind of from like, I don't know, Los Angeles, I think like, but grew up on the streets and like, he's a big, huge white guy, but he talks like he's like from the streets. And so he's like, you know, and this guy that delivers this stuff for me is the exact same way. Like, really? It's like, it's like, he's not like a hood rat, but he's like, he called me B the whole time. He's like, honestly, B man. I mean, this is, this is just, you know, you know,

right now, right now we're, we're struggling to make profit B we're struggling. We're struggling to get on top of it. But you know, when the orders keep going in the mice, the stacks, stacks go up B and then we're just golden, you know? And I'm like, yeah, I told like, and this guy, he told me he's 50 years old. So it's not like he's like some young whippersnapper. Like he's like, yeah. And I And maybe it's just a Californian thing. I don't know. Okay. I mean, yeah, he's like, no, B.

Like, so two ghosties actually ordered things that he's delivering. Cool. Emily Kaiser. Shout out to her. She's in Chicago. And then Paige Kuko. Kuko. Kuchkut.

Kukos. She ordered something from Detroit, basically. And so I want to hear if you guys have experience with this guy. I mean – What does he call you instead of your real name? Yeah. Okay. But he called me after he delivered the thing to Emily and told me a little story.

He's like, man, this is crazy story for your talk show. I swear he said talk show. I swear because I told him I had a podcast lesson. This is crazy story for your talk show, man. Emily, she lives on a one way street, man, in Chicago, man. And he's got like this big truck with this super long,

like trailer behind. Okay. And so he's like, man, I had, but there's a, there's an elementary school next to her, man.

So I actually dropped off the bookshelf with the principal at an elementary school, man. I had to drive around two streets over, park. My car came back, found the principal, man.

I delivered that thing to Emily, man. B, it was crazy. And I'm like, okay. Thank you, Sean. That's great. Awesome, dude. Glad you didn't have to back up that trailer on the one-way street. I was like, I would not have any advice for you.

But he's also trying to take pictures of all the different people that he's delivering to. Take pictures of the people? Yeah, which I can't imagine how awkward that is for Emily. It makes sense to take a picture of the piece to like prove like, look, it's in a living room. No, it's the people. It's the whole thing, baby. Kind of a humans of New York, like a humans of Ellis Custom Creations. Well, he's trying to build up his social media, B.

And as long as I get that smile, totally worth it, B. I mean, that's all. He's like, I just got to get the smile. That's why I don't deliver to people in New York city. Never gotten a smile. B I'm like, okay, gotcha, man. Thanks S. So yeah.

Thanks. Thanks asshole. S like Sean guys. Sorry. That sounded way too close to the real thing. Dude. That reminds me as well. My, my niece who's like six years old

she listened to the birth story with her with my my sister dana and um she was like why is brad keep saying holy you know like like i was saying Like, but like, she's not supposed to say crap. She's six years old. She's like, Brad keeps saying, holy, you know, you know, holy see, she texted me that. And then I listened back to the birth story and I was like, I do kind of feel bad about saying that now that I know little hopes listening. So little what? Hope. Oh, excuse me.

Little small hope. I call her little s yeah just like a like a garden tool got it okay anyway so that's my shipment stories with sean your what mint not again remember that remember no remember the k-mark commercial the best commercial ever ship my pants ship my pants oh my gosh when he goes when the lady goes i just shipped my nightie that cracked me up my nightie i just shipped my nightie i don't remember that line i remember the old man like i shipped my drawers i just shipped my bed that's a great commercial just That's a great commercial.

Oh, yeah. I went to four of them. Oh, yeah. No, yeah. Sure. You got this? I'm nailing this thing. Okay.

Okay. Ready? Yeah. DMing this thing. Okay, okay. Ready? Yep. DMV. Okay. FedEx Office. Okay. The dry cleaners.

Okay. Chipotle. Walgreens. Can I quiz you on them a little bit? Little Jimmy Fallon style? You may. Okay. All right, which Wal walgreens you go to i went to the one hold on hold on oh i love it already whoa whoa whoa i didn't know we were going geography on the thing. Come on, B. Hold on.

B, B, B, B, B. Okay, I lied about the Walgreens thing. But, well, hold on. That was the one. No, there was already a lie in it. And I was like, what was the other thing I did today? But I didn't want to throw off the cadence too much, so I just said Walgreens. But I didn't go to Walgreens.

So, okay, new game. Out of the first four I said, I went to three of those four. Okay. Where else did I go? So you really did only- Oh, yeah, duh. Okay. Well, now it's going to be obvious which one- Well, I'm not going to choose that one. This was going to be the one that throws you off. I went to the baggage store. Where they just like, hey, FYI, your father walked out of you at six years old. Yeah. So it's actually just what I call therapy. It's just, you know, without the stigma. Right stigma right um the baggage store you know it's got a little better stereotype to it no it's uh it's literally called bag and baggage it's just like a luggage store interesting and i was like luggage is the thing i don't want to shop for online

my uh checked bag broke so uh another great place to shop for those kind of things is like marshalls ross tj maxx okay Because they're like discounted. I feel like I needed to support a company that only sells luggage. I'm like, you can't be doing that great. You'd be surprised. Maybe I would. Yeah. Luggage is expensive.

Okay. So I went to Bag and Baggage. DMV, Chipotle. FedEx Office. FedEx Office. And the dry cleaners. Okay. FedEx Office.

Feel free to quiz me. Okay. What are those for? FedEx Office. Don't talk about Walgreens. I didn't go there. I go, hold on. Whoa. These are pretty tough questions. I didn't think he was going to ask that. Um, okay. Uh, FedEx office. What was that about? FedEx office was to return an article of clothing. Okay. And what order did you go to the four places in? So I went FedEx office.

Okay. Then I went to, no, I went dry cleaners, FedEx office, and then bag and baggage store, then Chipotle, then DMV. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. Okay. And DMV, were you getting the tags? Were you doing them?

Or getting, what were you doing there? I you getting the tags we're doing them or getting what were you doing there i was getting the tags okay did they give you tags right away or did they they're going to be mailing me tags okay so in the meantime you get a temporary tag i did okay what does it look like it looks like um you know piece of paper i mean you see've seen them i mean i don't need to tell you i don't okay okay i love this um okay chipotle anything anything interesting happened there um running the mill chipotle running the corn mill i feel like the guy was just really personable we like we had nodded at each other what he looked like at the beginning he was a light-skinned fella probably six two oh probably 19 years old okay and i thought we had a we had a mutual respect

for each other yeah just uh just a eye contact respect don't just say anything yeah okay so that was that was pretty standard yeah you just go for the triple triple play pollo asado oh is that good yeah it is it's just slightly better than the chicken the chicken is already good but the pollo asado is just slightly better get a little kick i hear yeah okay tiny kick just just like a little odd job yeah first trimester kick okay yeah uh and then we got we got dmv chipotle oh fedex So what was, you were returning something? Yes. A company sent me two of the exact same shirt.

So instead of saying, hey guys, guys, guys, you sent me the wrong one. Or hey guys, guys, guys, or I get, hey guys, guys, guys, Isaac, you can have this. Hey guys, guys, Isaac. Hey guys, guys, guys. I instead said, whoa, I don't want this shirt anymore. Give me my money back. I'll take $40. So that I took the low road.

Okay. And then by the way, real quick, have you ever, have you returned anything in the last two months? I mean, probably. Yeah. Oh yeah. I mean like, what do you mean by, yeah. Home Depot yesterday.

Okay. Yeah. Good for you. All the time. So Home Depot is probably not affiliated with this. I feel like this new company has popped up, at least in my life, called Happy Returns. Okay. This company is going to be worth a fortune. It's so great. Okay. They just like, they make it so easy. You can go like anywhere. You can go to FedEx office. You can go to like a Whole Foods, I think,

and just hand them a t-shirt and then they will bag it for you. They just scan a barcode. You don't do anything. Okay. It is so easy. This company is going to be massive. And it's for like any kind of return or is it like? I don know i've only done it with clothing because i know that kohl's you can return amazon stuff to kohl's yeah that's pretty random i know uh but i don't know yeah it's just great just you don't even need your own baggage just hand them a pair of pants like thank you pay them like a dollar or something you don't do anything you're in and out in like probably i'd say 18 seconds so it's like okay interesting okay it. Okay. It's awesome. Happy returns. Um, okay. And then the dry cleaners,

why'd you need to go there? Uh, well, I had to wear a suit twice this week and beforehand I was already thinking this suit's kind of dirty. I should wash it. And then I wore it twice. It was like, I should definitely wash it now.

Okay. Did they, did they say like how long it's going to take for that to get back? Uh, the, oh, I had an interesting interaction with this guy. Uh,

they said Monday. What was the interesting interaction? He, so it was a drive throughthrough dry cleaner which is like great everything's turned into a drive-through now just pride cleaners yes yeah um i went up and i went 151st a little little past a little tour between merlin and yeah yeah that's my hood yeah you know yeah so drive through dry cleaner and so i pull up and no one is like coming to like greet me so i'm like maybe this is like drive-thru to like pick up like that makes more sense maybe i probably still need to go in there and drop it off so i get out of my car this um kid like this kid definitely was in high school he comes out

and he was just like helping me and he was just like the sassiest like high school like i don't know i just i guess i wasn't expecting a high schooler to work at a drag player much less the sass that i got from this guy so he was just like especially like what time is this at i don't know 1 30 p.m oh really you started your started your errands at 1 30 yeah okay i added it this morning and did errands in the afternoon okay he was just like i i don't i don't recognize you and i was like yeah i i've never been never been to this place i've never even been to the drive-thru dry cleaner and he's like yeah i can tell what i was like oh because i'm like outside of my car he's like he's like yeah and so i was like okay yeah and it's like really

windy he's wearing a mask so i can't even hear him that well um but then he's like all right uh you want this and i was like yeah suit pants he's like okay and what is your uh first name i go jake he goes how do you spell that i would have i would have lied j-a-i-k good thing you asked yeah j-a-y-k g-e-o-k-k it's like Jeff, but Jake. He gets all my info. And then he's like, why are you still standing in the cold? I was like, this dude is so sassy. I don't know, man. I'm trying to help you out. You're getting outfitted by all these guys younger than you, man.

First, the guy that takes a picture and just walks away. Yeah, that was great. Now this guy. Yeah. I just couldn't believe how sassy he was. That was pretty much the end of the interaction. They're just so funny. Dude, why are you still standing in the cold? What are you doing? I was like, oh, I don't know. I'm couldn't believe how sassy it was. That was pretty much the end of the interaction. They're just so funny. Dude, why are you still standing in the cold?

What are you doing? I was like, oh, I don't know. I'm so sorry, sir. Yeah. I was just like, I didn't know how long this interaction would last. He was like, I still need to go in and like run your like info and everything. So he's like, okay, I'll chill in the car. Yeah. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. You have my age.

Wow. So it was fun. Okay. So which one do you think is a lie my thought for the lie i i'm whatever don't feel bad if this is what you did but i'm hoping you didn't be like i didn't go to pole i went to panda express uh my guess is dmv correct yeah yeah that takes way too long yeah that was fun i should do that more it's like two truths and a lie but with a story like with like let me let me ask you some questions about and if i know next time going into it like i need

to have a story prepared for each one i had nothing dude that reminds me did you see that clip of paul redd on conan o'brien's podcast no we gotta you gotta watch it it's like three minutes four minutes long so maybe justin just put in like a link or whatever it's like so so i guess there's this long-running joke between paul rudd and conan where every time paul rudd comes on to like promote his next movie he always plays this clip from like this 80s movie of this instead of his own movie this kid that's like in a wheelchair like like uncontrollably falling down a hill and then like going off a cliff in his wheelchair and like like hitting the water and then this like weird like monster thing

popping up like it's like this the weirdest clip that's this like weird, like monster thing popping up. Like, it's like this, the weirdest clip. That's kind of fun. Anyway, it's a fun ongoing joke. And yeah, so it's ongoing joke. And like, obviously Conan saw it coming on his talk show. Cause it's like a video clip. Uh, but Paul Rudd's like, no, I actually had this podcast coming out, uh, soon. And you know, like, like goes on for like three minutes with this super specific, like idea for this podcast and like talks about the characters in the podcast and these other people that did it with him. And Conan's like totally buying it.

He's like, well, that's so cool. And he's like, actually we have a clip of it. If you want to, if you want to, you know,

and they play it and Conan's just like, so like, I can't believe I got, but like the, the way that Paul Rudd improvises this now that like after knowing that he's improvising is like so funny. Like it's so hilarious. So like, yeah, I don't know if we can even just put like a 30 second clip of it in or something, Justin. Uh, but it's, it's so good. So he's just like talking like very specifically about like, like this girl, she's, she's, she's a, she's a Katrina.

She's, she's, you know, somebody from new Orleans. I moved away from Katrina, but then she wanted to, she decided to stay in this area, you know, and like, whatever, like just very specific personality traits. And it's with Celia Weston who's playing, we did a play years ago called Last Night at Ballyhoo. And I think, and this is where she is playing Gladys, who's the woman that's working in this store. I'm playing Ken, even though it's not Ken Marino who was in the show. He plays Carl, but this is between Ken Croft and Gladys, and this is from our podcast, or our Audible podcast. Oh, for Christ's sake. Mary! Why? Why?

You can't do this on a pod. There he goes, wheelchair. You can't do this on a pod There he goes Wheelchair You can't do that on a podcast That's why I didn't see it coming Right You can't do that on a podcast Yeah

It's a visual joke I know I swear to God How could I Well that was So that's what I thought of When you were like Telling story skills

Like if Jake is lying About this pride cleaners story That's really impressive So No it's your real deal so that's what i thought of when you were like telling stories like if jake is lying about this pride cleaners story that's really impressive so no it's a real deal and i look forward to saying on monday okay when i go pick it up i like it i want to try to do this sometime i want to oh the rules would be reversed yeah which these things i'd not do today right anyway also the bag and baggage people i don't think they get a lot of customers because i had a woman like shadowing me the whole time almost like dwight at staples yeah yeah i literally be here if you need yeah at the time i was like what does this remind me of and i just thought of it she's like you need anything i was

like i mean i just need a a thing of luggage so i'm just gonna kind of browse around and pick one out she's like okay great and then instead of like going back behind the counter she was just like out in like the area with me like pretty nearby for like 15 minutes yeah and then i mean at the first instance of me struggling to get one open you need help there is the zipper stuck i have i have a thing for that you know yeah it was great you need help like learning how to do the zippers like some of them are kind of crazy yeah i mean and then you get the zippers confused like oh no that one just enlarges it that doesn't open it right yeah right so did you end up going with a four-wheeled bag or a two-wheeled bag oh definitely four-wheeled bag yeah you can't even find a

two-wheeled bag is that right yeah okay-wheeled bag. Yeah. You can't even find a two-wheeled bag. Is that right? Yeah. Okay. At least the large, like 29-inch, like checked luggages. Listen to you, like knowing the dimensions. Like at least like the 29 inches. You want to talk 27?

You want to talk 29? What are we talking? Gotcha. Awesome. I've been a big fan lately of the self-aligning wheels. You ever treated yourself to one of those? What does that mean? No.

They're just slightly magnetic. So they don't get like stuck in one position. But they're slightly like oriented that way then they will like stay straight so you can like let go of your bag you know it'll stay straight oh interesting i think they're called self-aligning wheels it's fun yeah i say glides it's real smooth it's one of those things where you like don't realize what it's doing and then you realize it and it's like i'm never going back and then when it's time to buy a new one it's like i don't want anything that doesn't self-align so did you ask the lady about that like i need some self-aligning wheels she she saw me messing with

some wheels because i was like spinning them around see if they're magnetic she's like you know those are magnetic wheels i was like oh yeah i love them i was just making sure trust me i have the i have the s 590 yeah oh you are preaching to the choir, ma'am, when it comes to magnetic wheels. That would have been funny if you were like, I'm actually a baggage salesman just here checking out the competition. It's kind of little audits. You really think you can get away with these prices? Whatever, man. I don't think so.

Oh, man. Should we do some voice memos or should we not? That's just in the podcast here. Thank you guys for listening. Thanks, guys. Love you guys for listening thanks guys love you guys what if let's listen to lucy hey jake and brad it's lucy from texas and oh my gosh i love your podcast yeah i love hearing about your mediocre life updates or when brad has a new story about his kids or just a story about canna cook from a couple years ago you guys are truly showing the love and joy of god each and every day and i hope you do it for Brad has a new story about his kids or just a story about Canada cook from a couple of years ago.

You guys are truly showing the love and joy of God each and every day. And I hope you do it for many more years to come. Anyway, that's my question. So recently I joined a basketball team where I am the only girl, nine guys and me. And I want to know if you had any tips or tricks. So I'll get to know more and have it be less awkward. Can't wait to hear your response.

And yeah. Bye-bye. Tips or tricks, Brad? Meeting the fellas. Meeting? Is that what you're saying? My tip is if you are playing against a bunch of guys, take the ball to the hole every time and shoot it because those guys are going to be

conflicted with like, should I swat the crap out of this girl or should i just be a guy and let her score it's what we like to call the lose lose situation because then it's like dude you're getting scored on by this girl yeah well and then you're like you swatter it's like dude take it easy jeez i'm not so i'm not trying to be that that guy but i'm just saying lucy like i would i would be the michael jordan of your team like do not pass the ball i think a good way to get the respect is just to play well if you're like contributing to the team Lucy, like I would, I would be the Michael Jordan of your team. Like do not pass the ball. I think a good way to get the respect is just to play well. If you're like contributing to the team, like Lucy's dope. Yeah. Lucy boxes out or keep them accountable. You know, just like really like dog on them. If they miss a shot, like, come on, Hey, make it, make it please. Or, or give them

like techniques, like, Hey, follow through on that. You know, I love it when anybody that's not a coach tells me that. My dad, you know, my dad will be like, you know, people in the stands, you're dipping your elbow a little bit on that swing. It's like, dad, please stop. It's going to be so hard as a parent not to do that to my kid. When I feel like I know the technique. Or just like when you're like, just be more aggressive out there. Yeah.

It's like, dad, there's a strategy that the coach wants us to do. He doesn't want to just catch the ball and drive the basket every time i'm not lucy i never got any like technical instruction from my dad or anything which is great it was more of just like conceptual things like yeah you need to be more aggressive at the plate or like yeah you should shoot the ball at basketball right you never shoot go for the steals like yeah yeah whatever it is yeah it was just like yeah schematic things which I think he was probably right about all of them in hindsight. So, oh yeah.

Like as you're watching, like I would watch, you know, my Bible, like the kids I led Bible study for, I'll go there junior high games. I'd be like, oh man, it's so obvious. Like, like you're better than everyone else. Yeah. You're taller than everyone. Go down low. It's not that hard, you know, whatever.

So, um, but yeah, like i would definitely just say like just be as aggressive as possible and you know it's lucy i kind of see the first day of practice a lot like the first day of prison go right away hit the biggest guy in there show him that you mean something yeah but business oh maybe don't don't hit him and pants him embarrass him on the first day but make sure you only get shorts. Yeah, yeah. A loose grip. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

And make sure he's wearing compression shorts or something. But yeah, the best player, you pants him on the first day. Yeah. Maybe you dribble the ball down the court. You call stack. Stack! Stack! Stack!

You sound like you're wanting a lifeboat to rescue you. I know. That's how I do it. And you're dribbling the ball and he's like, he's like kind of taking it easy on you. And then you just keep dribbling and then you dribble it, bounce it really high up in the air. He looks up at the air. You swipe down the shorts, pick the ball back down. Swish.

And you say, that's called stack. And that's how we stack. Yeah. I'm Lucy. I'm new here. And that's how I do stack. All right. There you go, Luce.

You're welcome. Oh, also. Hey, Jacob. Sorry, Mariana. She mentioned that she liked my kid story. So I do have a really quick kid story that I heard about from Hattie. First of all, Hattie FaceTimes me the day after the KU game i'm like hey like i have great news to tell you the jayhawks won the championship yeah and she's like dad i know i stayed up for the entire thing whoa which the

game started at 8 20 and so it ended at like 10 45 and old chili bean and pez's been there let her stay up pretty late yeah i was like whoa pops like pops. Like, I was like, I don't know. You did it. Like maybe in her head. She thought she did. Like maybe she went to bed at halftime. You start quizzing her. Okay.

When did they get in the double bonus? Yeah, exactly. Okay. Yeah. Who hit the last shot? But Robin was there and she confirmed. No, she did it for the whole game. Wow.

And apparently halfway through the game in Texas, like near Dallas, there was a tornado that touched down like pretty close to them. So they had to go take cover. And apparently Hattie brought with her her sleep mask. She has like a sleep, like a koala bear sleep mask and her Lammy. And it was just Hattie and the adults that are awake, just hanging out, like waiting for the storm to pass. Sleep mask and Lammy. Yeah.

It's so funny how much she loves it. It's like she got it for her birthday. She thinks the sleep masks are so fun to have. And there was one night where I couldn't find my phone. And I was like, I think I left it in Hattie's bed. And so I go in there and she's asleep. And you just see like this sleep mask on with like her mouth wide open. Like it was so cute.

And I gave her one of the highway three blankets from the recent brand deal that we did and so her blanket like on top of her sheet says hashtag life with lavender which you guys have you guys told her what that says or anything or are you just like here's a blanket hattie i think i told her right yeah i think it's probably daddy did a brand deal first one ever for jean shorts you excited honey also we did another brand deal which i think we made pretty funny the nord one we'll see how it plays i think it'll be i think we did all right as funny as you can make something like that yeah yeah i saw that reminds me the i saw some graph today it was like the top 10 uh apps in the app

store in russia before the invasion and after the invasion like before today. It was like the top 10, uh, apps in the app store in Russia before the invasion and after the invasion, like before the invasion, it was like Spotify, Instagram, whatever. And now nine out of the 10 of them are VPNs. Interesting. Yeah.

That's interesting. It's kind of interesting. Huh? Anyway. Um, thanks loose. Anything else? Nope.

That's my daddy story. Hey, go get them. Hey, Jake and Brad. It's Mariana. Um, I've been listening to ghostners for a few years now.

Just wanted to tell you guys about how your podcast is helping homeless people. So I heard Jake mention Panda Express one too many times on the last episode, and I just needed some orange chicken, even though I've been trying to save money on food. So I went out, got my orange chicken, and I was walking back to my apartment, and this homeless man stops me on the street. And he was like, ma'am, I'm so hungry. Is there any way you could help me get some food or help me get dinner? And I felt so guilty with my bowl of orange chicken. I was like, ugh, why couldn't you have just asked me for money like a normal homeless person? But I couldn't do it.

I gave him my Panda Express, and I went back to my apartment and I ate my leftover salad and it was so disappointing but I just wanted to let you guys know that you're helping the homeless people of San Diego one panda express comment at a time love the podcast thanks guys oh no what a bummer oh it was just it was just so disappointing it's like just just be chill just be a normal homeless person i'm like yeah i'll give you like half i guess maybe you want to go with halvesies good thing you got a plate but you can have one of the sides i think i got a plate yeah just i mean the one time the one time that a homeless man asked for food. I've got hot food.

Oh, that sucks. Mariana, we feel for you. That I mean, that's brutal. I mean, talk about inconvenient. Like, yeah, the one time like he asked for money and I have cash on me like. I just you never want to find yourself in that position where you have something and someone else who needs it, ask for it. What a brutal position to be in. Oh my gosh. I'm glad you shared that with us. Cause that does suck. It reminds me, I remember a couple of weeks ago, I was out on tour.

I'd been gone for six days straight. I finally get home. It's a Friday night. I have nothing planned. I got nothing but time. I say, Rachel, would you like to hang out tonight? She says, great. I would love to. I said, what do you want to do? She says, I don't care what we do as long as we spend time together. Oh, no. Is it that nice?

You're like, are you sure you don't want like a pillow or something? Yeah. Even orange chicken. Yeah. I mean, the one time you don't ask for orange chicken. All I've got is time. You want my time? Oh, my gosh gosh it was so

annoying and inconvenient it was so disappointing really is what it was so then i go i just spent time with her and the whole time i'm thinking i wish you just would ask to you know play video games right the one time i bring my n64 and they say like i would just be do anything for starfox right now. I mean, I love that she's real because that's like, at least she's honest. Like, man, I don't like my flesh said, I do not want to give this panda to something. Yeah, no, it honestly does sound like a story that we would tell. It's like in my head. I was thinking, I can't wait to eat this.

I can't wait to eat this. Yeah, of course. A guy who looks pretty homeless asked me for food. Oh, man. Mariana. Mariana. How do you think you pronounce her name, Brad? m-a-r-i-a-n-a mariana trench or mariana beach yeah i would say mariana mountaintop yeah mariana church mary anna mary mary in the courthouse mariana reception uh mary yeah i would say that mariana mariana that's how i'd say you remind me oh that's a story thank you for that story on to the next what's up hosts this is the ghost

season it's your boy case and i'm actually a day one listener just never left a voice memo or a five-star review i gotta talk fast because i got a lot of fit in here i know you might not believe me that was that was so fast we're off the top what's up boys this is he did say he's like i'm gonna talk fast sorry go ahead that was i was not prepared for this all right so you gotta talk fast because i got a lot of fit in here i know you might not believe me about it being a day one listener but it's true and if you ask me why i just won't tell you uh i'm actually listened to the podcast a couple of times. And I was in a past episode the other day where Brad was talking about how he thinks it's crazy that someone would do a home birth and he's just too nervous to do that. And now here we are, 150 second episode where Brad is doing a home birth for his baby Rose. So happy for the growth, man. That's awesome.

One of my favorite things to do with the podcast, and I suggest all the ghosties do this, is don't look at the title of the episode and by the end of the episode try to guess what the title is it's just a thing i like to do at work because my phone's always in my pocket and it's just constantly shuffling through the episodes my question for you guys is if you could change anything about the olympics what would it be a lot of people would say oh make a category for regular people no they don't allow any kind of steroids in the olympics but i think that we should let people do as many as they want to let's see what peak physical condition looks like. Thanks, guys. Have a good one.

Fast talker, Cason. You think that was his first try? No. Really? I think he realized, like, well, I got to really make this faster. Do you remember saying that on the podcast, you never have home birth? I remember thinking that in my life. So I'm not surprised I said it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's really cool. Like how many people have like reached out and been like, that's so cool. But I would never, I could never do that myself. Like women saying this about Catherine and I'm just telling you right now, like, like Catherine's not going to be like the advocate, like influence social media influencer about this or anything. Cause that's not her personality, but like, she would absolutely say like, I had those feelings and she never thought that she was like strong enough to do it like this or whatever yeah and she did so if you have those interests and you're

interested in it think about it because you can do it katherine's not like some like run uh ultra marathon kind of girl like she's not that kind of you know what i mean you know katherine like she's strong in her own like deep-rooted strength she's not like, like she, she didn't, she wasn't able to do couch to 5k. Like genuinely, like she couldn't do it. She's like after, after the time where you're supposed to run for two minutes straight, I was done. She's more of a sprinter.

Yeah. Sprinter in the yard. Yeah. So yeah, exactly. So anyway, but yeah, I believe that I said that I'm interested case. And if you remember what episode it was, send me that. Cause I would like to listen. That's funny.

Okay, and then second, he asked about the Olympics, which I'm pretty sure I've heard this bit. I think a comedian did this or something. I've heard this before, the premise of like- About the steroids? Letting, yeah, athletes take steroids just to see like how much, you know, like letting athletes take steroids and then compete in a home run derby. Because it would be fun. Like that's just see how far you can hit a baseball or just in that instance, use a aluminum bat.

Yeah. I would love to see Mark McGuire in his heyday versus Sammy. So sad with aluminum bats. I texted Rachel about Mark McGuire this morning. Really? Yeah. What a time. I forgot what she texted me.

Oh, she said this. Well, it doesn't really matter. Basically. I was telling her a story of when I, I think Margaret Grier retired. And when I was telling her a story of when I, I think Mark McGuire retired when I was probably second or third grade.

I loved the Cardinals. Did you have a hard time with Mark McGuire saying his name as a kid? Because you had a little speech impediment. Probably. Probably. Oh, I love Mark McGuire. Yeah, I like Albert Pools and Mark McGuire mainly.

But Mark McGuire retired and I just wanted to do everything that St. Louis Cardinals players did so I told my dad that I was going to be retiring as well I was like this is it like after the season like I'm retiring I that's it I'm retired now so sorry that's funny but uh okay but before he said the steroids thing I had thought in my head there is uh there's a trampoline event in the gym, in like gymnastics. Oh, it's like an ultra trampoline. It's amazing. It's really, really cool. And it's basically gymnastics on steroids in a sense with like legal steroids. I think it'd be cool if they did

something similar in basketball where it's like, maybe not a complete like trampoline, like don't slam ball kind of thing, but like the floors are extra bouncy. Dude, you're gonna laugh at me because, but I've seen a Facebook ad that there's one of the sky zones in kansas city i don't know which one but they've built a brand new basketball court that i've never seen before it's a basketball court and a trampoline park and they're not trampolines like the court is not black like a trampoline surface it's like orange and blue sky zone colors and it looks bouncy it looks exactly like what you're talking about really i want to do it so bad i told my sister i was like we got to go bring brayden i'll bring rachel let's do this that sounds awesome it looks so fun

send me a pic i'll find it next voice i'll find it but yeah that's my thought is like if i if you watch the best athletes you know i i personally think that basketball players are some or maybe the best athletes in the world and watching them like have a little bit of extra bounce yeah but maybe like make the make the rims like 11 feet tall just so they're not like hitting their waist on the rims i yeah because people always love the all-star game because it's they're a little looser but you get to see how good they really are right like the crazy they do and everything yeah so i'm trying to think what else i'd like to see more remember that old show where it was like man versus animal or whatever

it's like who can hang on a bar longer this gymnast or this chimpanzee okay i remember pros versus joes which is kind of i'll take that too yeah i i would love to do that or see that i would also love to watch like like a relay race between dogs and humans or something and it's like the greyhounds get them off to a big lead but then it's a pomeranian and who's the third leg and it's like we got to gain some ground when it's the pomeranian. I think that's fun. I like the idea of, um, like taking like an absolutely dominant athlete, but pitting them up against like five regular people, like, like, like take the best wrestler in the world, but then put like, let's say five freshmen boys.

Now that sounds, that sounds creepy, but I'm talking about like, just like a bunch of like small men and just see, see who wins. That sounds creepy. But I'm talking about just a bunch of small men and just see who wins. That is kind of fun. Kind of like the idea of playing dodgeball against a bunch of little kids. I love the idea of Clayton Kershaw versus 15 second graders. That's fun.

That's fun. Also, I just texted you a picture of this guy's on court. Oh, that's cool. How fun is that? And you can imagine imagine it's pretty bouncy i know i know it seems i know it's like it makes sense for safety reasons but i would love it if they put nets on those rims it's just so much more aesthetically pleasing and you could tell the ball goes in better you're right that's that's my one that's my one peeve um i'd sign

the waivers and say that's fine I accept the net responsibility Net gains Let's hear from the next person Hi Jake and Brad This is Debbie calling from Cleveland, Ohio First of all I want to say Congratulations Brad to you and Catherine Thank you

On the birth of baby Rose Very excited for you My question for you guys is this I will be turning 50 in May that's 5-0 and my husband has been asking what I want to do to celebrate

and I honestly have no idea so I wondered if you guys have any suggestions for what I might do to celebrate turning 50 one thing you need to know about me is that I'm an introvert and something like a surprise party would be absolutely the worst thing that could ever happen to me. But aside from that,

I am looking forward to hearing what your suggestions are. Love the podcast. Thank you so much for all you do. Bye. All right, Deb. Actually, Debbie. Actually, Debbie's husband, listen up.

What's his name again? Mark. Mark. Mark. Mark. Mr. Debbie, listen up. Here's what you're going to do. Or any of the kids. Any of the little Debbies. Any of the little Debbies. Old Deb's turning

five zero the theme is gonna be five okay so first thing you're gonna do is you're gonna get I mean

Debbie's an instavert so she's not gonna leave the house she's a what what did I say you said instavert instavert she loves Instagram but not with other people

isn't that what it's called yeah remember Tony Hawk did a 900 on the instavert it's pretty impressive you see this this this ramp i made right now two hours tops instavert yeah all right instavert so she's an instavert i think you let her have just time at home but you do that there's still the theme is five so first thing you do is you get a video from five of her best friends who can't be there who maybe don't live in

Town who can't take her out to dinner. So a video from don't surprise her with this video Okay, the next thing you're gonna do is you're going to give her five different movie choices five of her favorite movies Okay, and then you're to put one of those on. Okay. And then during the movie, you give her five different desserts to choose from that you will make her. Or just make all five, make a little bit of all of them. Maybe,

maybe. I'm talking chocolate ganache. I'm talking tiramisu. Sure. I'm talking affogato. For me too. And then the best part, because what's better on the birthday birthday that

carries into the next day a little bit you give her five different options of when she would like to wake up the next morning 8 a.m 9 a.m 10 a.m or no alarm oh that's fun too sure because i think the mental the mental break is what's 5 a.m sure it's a five being off just in case and like having that mental break like i don't have to do anything tonight or in the morning sure that's a five being off just in case and like having that mental break like i don't have to do anything tonight or in the morning sure that's a good birthday that sounds nice okay yeah i think i was whenever she said introvert i was like just be yourself yeah like and i think i will say that i think katherine maybe would classify herself as an introvert but i think she still enjoys social time but my first reaction was kind of like yours like if you're an introvert, but I think she still enjoys social time. But my first reaction was kind of like yours. Like if you're an introvert, don't, don't force it. Like,

like just take a day, like to just hang out with your family and read a book, like, by the age of 50, do it guiltlessly, you know? Yeah. You probably know, I mean, really well, what you like and what you don't like. So really just do what you like. If it's, yeah, just spending time by yourself say sorry mark it's funny like yeah i don't know like i i just don't really like celebrating my birthday i mean i like it to an extent like i like getting friends together but like katherine's always like we have to do something like for your birthday and i'm like that's great but like let's just make it like really not about my birthday let's just like like make an excuse to everyone, for everyone to hang out. Like, like Katie was just talking to me

the other day when everyone else was filming and we were just standing there, like hanging out, Katie Kennedy, like, like Trace turned 30 years this year. Like, do you have any ideas of what we should do for him? And I was like, I don't know, because Trey's an introvert. And like, he literally talks about it in his set every birthday, you know, the women in his family, like, we got to get you something. What are you going are you gonna do he's like i would like to be left alone yeah i was like i don't i honestly think that he might just like it if you like said like i rented you a house in the woods for two days just go out there and just hang out by yourself bring your friends i don't know yeah so because i was like i don't i don't know what to tell you for that yeah because you

don't want to like be like forcing somebody to do something you don't want to do on their birthday i i think most people probably feel the same way i totally feel that like i went to ma you for that yeah because you don't want to like be like forcing somebody to do something you don't want to do on their birthday i i think most people probably feel the same way i totally feel that like i went to maui for my 30th birthday and i brought friends but i didn't want to be celebrated anything special on my birthday yeah because there was a bit of like like jake we want to go to dinner tonight i was like let's just go wherever we would have normally gone yeah on this wednesday night in hawaii you know it's not a huge deal like i obviously appreciate when people are like hey happy birthday oh it's great to huge deal. Like I obviously appreciate when people are like, hey, happy birthday, Jake. Oh, it's great to be acknowledged.

You know, but like, it doesn't have to be like, Jake's birthday dinner. Every 20 seconds. Are you happy? What do you want to, how would you change it? You want me to talk to the waiter? Everything cool? Yeah.

I know you ordered root beer. And obviously it comes from good hearts. It's just like, I'm good. I don't know. For Harrison's birthday, I guess it would have been last night because that was when Harrison's birthday actually was. We we all ate together like the roommates and then abby so we had a little dinner together it was fun um watched forgetting sarah marshall afterwards good time i

don't like that movie very much really this is only like my second time ever seeing it yeah and i liked it okay all right but during our little like you know family dinner or whatever harrison gets a facetime got a couple facetimes but the first one of the night he got was like from one of his best friends he answers the phone and uh he's like harry he's like dude guess what we'll be doing this sunday and he's like no wait you're not going to the masters or he's like dude i'm going to the masters and then this have this 10 minute conversation the dude has no idea it's harrison's birthday he facetimed him to tell him he's going to the master and then so like by the time they hang up the call he still doesn't he like started it was kind of funny he was like dude i was just thinking we could we should actually do something soon for

like jeremy's birthday wait when wait what is today dude today's your birthday so like he realized he realized yeah he knew harrison's birthday okay but he had no idea so it was so great because we all just like when is he gonna say happy birthday that's funny. So it is good to still acknowledge it. Sure. Yeah. Cause then Harrison got another FaceTime later in the night. He's like, I wonder what this guy's going to brag about when he FaceTimes me.

Hey dude, just got NBA finals tickets. What are you up to tonight? Oh, that's funny. So that is for you, Debbie. Let's do like one or two more,

Brad. Okay. Okay. Brad Gideon from Little rock arkansas calling in um i wanted to tell you all that i can confirm that termites indeed kind of taste minty i ate some straight off the mound in belize one time um and it was uh an interesting experience. I'd be interested to try them over an open flame sometime. Also, it always makes me kind of cringe when y'all talk about medical things.

I am about to graduate from medical school. I'm doing my residency in Hawaii. That's like not real. So that brings me to my question. I'm about to have to fly from Arkansas to Hawaii with a very pregnant wife and a two-year-old boy i'm so sorry and i don't know how to entertain him so love your advice on how to entertain a young child on a 10-hour flight any and all suggestions will be appreciated thanks bye thanks gideon i went to camp with this guy oh yeah long time ago.

Like we like barely worked together. I think he was only working there for like four weeks, but wow. Nice guy. Big and strong, big and strong. That's my memory of him. I mean, you can't be a weak Gideon. The kid I talked to the dry cleaner earlier, his name is not Gideon. I'll tell you that. Can we put, can we put a pin real fast in Gideon? Cause I had a thought that I was just thinking about once the voice memo started. Yes. about the thing before okay uh it was harrison's birthday yesterday and a year ago yesterday u-haul vibes u-haul vibes were happening like a year ago yesterday was when we went to phoenix and it feels like forever ago way longer than a year ago which is a good sign that means we're like filling our life with a lot of things sure yeah i think i

totally agree like because like in my head i know you had done a decent amount of shows before that but in my head like i think about that show in phoenix as like jake was just starting out oh totally i probably had like 20 or 30 ever under my belt which is like pretty new i would say it's just crazy like to think about you know how much we've done how harris said like you know dude it is crazy because i remember that was like like you got to be in a video you were i was chanting tiny i was in the video for like two seconds and it was like this is so awesome like my friends get to be in a video with trey like is you know so fun right and like fast forward a year it's like so we have a we have

a channel together yeah yeah then we make YouTube videos 110,000 subscribers, right? Like I remember he's got custom blankets made. Yeah, I remember recording that episode in Phoenix and like thinking like oh gosh I hope trade like is okay with me singing like what if he thinks I'm terrible I don't want to be loud in the presence of Trey Yeah, exactly. So it's just funny to think about like how different it is Yeah, so a lot can happen in a year a lot can happen in a year we've always said that rose can happen in a year you can grow in a year so okay so gideon said you have any goals for a year from now i'm bad at that lately i haven't been i haven't been forward thinking though let me let me get back to you on it i'll either write

a patreon blog post about it or i'll come back next week great do you have any or should we let's do goals next week goals next week goals next week i'm doing all caps goals next way okay um so first of all this is a question for you brad is it okay well i think it's both of us you're the entertainer thanks um we so first of all gideon the answer is, the answer is food. The answer is food. Just, just do a very progressive feast with this two year old. Two year olds are so content when you just give them like just a few puffs. And, and I know Gideon, you're like, we have rules about, we don't want to feed them too much. We don't want them.

Not tonight. Yes. Not tonight. Okay. That's from miracle. And so, I mean, there's, there's like those things there's like these cylinders of puffs i've seen this very popular with little kids and usually it's like oh we don't want them to snack we don't want to get used to like we want them to only have three meals a day

no gideon i'm telling you i'm telling you like parcel out the is that the right word yeah parse piss parsley i mean sorry i didn't even mean to say that um parse is it parcel parcels like the mail service with a c scarce just just very what is it i'm gonna stroke over here parcel i think parcel out and ration okay okay so parcel out these puffs, parcel the puffs, pee the peas, and just like one at a time until, and you give it to him and he or her, the two year old or your wife,

uh, eat. And then like, until they ask for another one, do not give them one. Cause they will ask. They will continue to ask. Those things are basically like cardboard. So they're not going to get full on them and you'll just be fine.

That's all you need to do. Or just play the ghost ranch podcast for your wife on repeat and say, what do you think this episode's called? Because, yeah, I think overall it's that easy. Like kids, kids, or I mean, you can do all the other things. You can get all the other, you know, stimulants out there. You can get the toys. You can get the whatever else.

Movies. You can watch Miracle. But just, you can do Miracle else but movies you can watch miracle but just you can do miracle but whatever you do just parcel the puffs okay hashtag hashtag parcel the puffs personal that's that's my thought also i feel really bad for you that you're having to go from arkansas to hawaii man yeah more than anything i think just like thoughts and prayers right that you're having to make that trip and sounds like you're gonna be in hawaii for a while which is a bummer yeah hopefully hopefully you don't like actually get like a full-time job there yeah i mean you're in you're out you're back to arkansas because that's not the natural state hawaii is the sunshine state i think yeah hopefully you know volunteer state volunteer

state spend some time a little bit of time in hawaii but then hopefully back to arkansas for the winter that's what I was saying. Seven, eight months from now, you want to be back in Arkansas. Yeah. You want to be, people talk about being snowbirds. You want to be a snow leopard. Okay. Gideon.

It's just way more comfortable. You get a heavier coat. So no, that's awesome. That's funny when he's like, you guys, it's so hard when you guys talk about medical stuff. If we didn't talk about things that we didn't have that much knowledge on, we would never say anything. Yeah. We could talk about woodworking and YouTube.

That's about it. I don't know anything. I don't know anything. Like we know like enough to like maybe answer some questions right on Jeopardy about a question or a category. I think we would be very good at like general knowledge trivia. Right. Like I could fill in, you know, the blanks for stuff, but don't ask me a followup question on walgreens right like i know that walgreens is a store i'm doing my residency

in hematology i'll be like that's about blood i think hemoglobin but that's that's as far as i'm getting but yeah you know good for you blood and that's probably how most people are it's like you know what's connected to it but you're not an expert in anything exactly so so just get off our apple bags okay okay we have have business degrees from pretty easy colleges. Okay. Very easy colleges. I was talking to Katie about that too.

Like man, college was so easy for me and like, probably you too, biomedical engineering at Georgia Tech. Right. Oh man.

Yeah. She's like, I studied abroad, but I still did my engineering stuff over there. I was like, then why did you study abroad? She's probably like

to get away from all the nerds. Yeah, thanks gideon thanks thanks good dog that's what we always call them yeah that's cool that or just like play on words with the name god yeah that's good too just to just to yeah put god's name in vain like that at a christian sports camp that's good yeah that's good uh let's do our reviews of the week. What do you think about that? I love it. Okay, great. The title of this one from... It's called So You Ever Heard of Ghost Runners?

And it's from someone named Toasty Ghosty. Oh, wow. Hey, Jake and Studly. How about that? Okay. This is Georgie from Vancouver, Canada Canada I recently asked my babe of the week what he thought of up dog and he responded so seriously what is up dog so it is officially time to hit him with uh it is officially time to him with the Chicago way loving the way you guys

tease and bug your friends fam as I'm quite the bugger myself. Whoa, hard R? Okay. It's my sister's birthday on the 5th. Shout out River. Like River, but with two Vs. But I usually just call her Riv. Okay, that was a pronunciation guide. River. And we both can't get enough of you. We'd love to make it out of your way to meet all the other ghosties at the next shindig. Speaking of KC,

I got a work call just now from someone local to your city. And the whole time I wanted to ask, so, you ever heard of the Ghost Runners? I eventually did. Shout out Josh, the security guard from KC. I changed his name for his safety. Oh, good. So why'd you give him a shout out?

Shout out. Shout out to Bob. Shout out Bob from Kansas. He'll know. I changed his name. And boy, oh boy, it was like deja vu wink face jk jk brad that's not even close to what it is and also jk because i didn't even ask him that oh so what was the shout out double why was the show okay and guess what his name's josh

his real name's joshua though j Joshua. So I'm not saying too much. In Hebrew, it's Yeshua. Which, don't make jokes about, you know. Don't put his name in puns. Yeah. Anyway, I didn't even ask him that, which is too bad because he has a full night ahead of himself being a security guard watching other people do work. And I think your

podcast is exactly what he needed on a night like tonight. My question for you is, click. Oh, she did it. You know, she verbal memed us. Verbal memed us. Thanks, guys. Can't get enough of your wit and love repping the merch all the way up here in the Southwest.

Some black-eyed peas. Some black-eyed peas down in Toronto. Oh my gosh. It doesn't get more Southern than that. No. Just that Southern charm. That Southern hospitality. Like it's amazing.

Like the front porch, the wraparound front porches that they have in Toronto, you know, and like the azaleas that just come out and the oak, the big oak trees down there. Toronto in the spring, you pop over to niagara falls you know you have just oh you know it's just beautiful beautiful you go golfing any time of year they're a little racist down there but i mean you know they don't mean they mean well right that's how it works maybe uh what's your amazing football like like they say, there's nothing like the Southeastern Conference of Canada, the SECC. SECC! SECC! Yeah. And, you know, even if your team didn't make it, you still root for an SECC team.
