It's going to be a good one, guys. We're going to have fun. I think this, that is probably fun to listen to. Like, you just got in your car. It's Monday morning. You're like, I do not want to go to work. Yeah, you're like, just getting on the, you know, freeway. It's going to be good, guys. You think they wait until just getting on the, you know, freeway. It's going to be good

guys. You think they wait until they get on the freeway to turn a podcast on? I don't know how close they live to the highway. I think some people have frontage roads right by their apartment. They just get on the freeway. Do you call every highway? I don't think I've ever called it freeway in my life. I was like, wait, this is the freeway, bro. Dude, Rachel this past week called it like not trying to be like goofy or quirky called it the fast road i was like you just call it the fast or the highway yeah did she have a stroke like it's like oh the fast road she was like oh i didn't know you could take the fast road to get here i was just going back roads i was like what do you mean the faster she's like well just some

people get so like anal about like no it's an interstate or it's a freeway it's a highway oh so she like intentionally was like i don't i'm not gonna offend anyone oh yeah i was like well you're not giving a public address you're talking to me when have i ever like corrected you about street the fast linguistics i like fast legitimately called it the fast road life in the fast road life is a fast road i want to ride it that's a rachel said like you know theme song life is a fast road i like it yeah he thinks that anytime we go like on an overpass and we're kind of high up we're on the highway now that makes sense yeah that makes sense like it's like oh we're on the highway and i'm always like no we're not not this time sweetie but life in the fast road good um well

i was gonna say i took rachel down to um branson missouri this past weekend how'd you get there it was uh well it started off by fast road 435 yes and then went south 71 71 yeah i think turns into fast road 49 maybe a faster seven fast road seven and then through clinton and then changes to Fast Road something else maybe? 13. 13? Fast Road 13 through Bolivar. Through Bolivar. And you get on Fast Road.

Well, then we had to take some. Fast Road 44. But then we were in Stratford. Oh, yeah. So it's like Slow Road. Slow Road 125. Okay. And then.

125 Slow Road. That's a good Slow Road. Well. That's a high Slow Road. And then had to get back on Fast Road 65. Going on Branson. Yep. That yep that's fun anyway we are on our way to we've parked we are walking into andrew's frozen custard just so you can um oh yeah the the fancier it's like the original andrew's you know so it's nicer like around

here they just call them andy's because they're a little less formal sure yeah um and rachel and i get stopped by two women they say hey uh excuse me um here we go you guys know where the store is the store and to make sure i heard yeah right down the street from the fast road down there the store you know where the store is this isn't mayberry there's more than one. Yeah. I was like, I want to make sure I heard correctly. So I go, the store? She's like, yeah. To buy beer.

Oh, the beer store. So I was like, oh, like a liquor store. She's like, yeah. You idiot. Everyone around here knows that the store. Yeah. Why say more word when less word, dude? I said store.

Figure it out. Anyone know where the building is? The building? Yeah. Oh, you know, the building where the kids learn stuff? Uhhuh oh the school building yeah so she was like do you know where that is and i was like yeah like it's it's right off the street you know like you can't miss it uh-oh oh i think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet because it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast. Rachel just texted me.

I just lost my phone in target and had an eventful search for it. She loses things. Does she? Constantly. Really? Yeah. Huh? Yeah.

I wouldn't say dumper, but I think about it. I mean, Oh yeah. She never knows. Lose it. Who, who do you think of first person you think of when

you think of they lose their phone a lot peter casey peter casey yeah always dude losing phones losing wallets and it's like peter you don't go that many like you you were just sitting there like how do you how do you lose your phone yeah i never get like frustrated with rachel i just try to like help her build like healthy habits of like putting systems in place or like have a spot for things yeah or what i really try to help her out and she's like where's my phone where's my phone and it's been too i was like how where have you looked so far it's like just just my purse it's like oh it looked like three more places sure and then you could start like and then be worried yeah yeah okay because the the apple watch will let you ping your it'll make your phone make a noise she Yeah, she has an Apple Watch.

Yeah. Yeah. So she should lose it. Not often. It doesn't have to be within a certain range. Yeah, probably 50 feet or something. OK. But yeah, she'll claim she lost her phone and she hasn't looked in her purse yet or

something. I'm like, check there. Let's not, you know, call the police yet. I mean, no judgment to Rachel Koop. I misplace things a lot. Basically, I go out the door and I get to my truck and then realize I don't haveop. I, I misplaced things a lot. Basically I go out the door and I get to my truck and then realize I don't have my keys. Like I don't, I don't ever, I just always assume there I have everything I need. And then I go like,

I bet I come back inside every one out of every five times I go out to the truck to leave. Really? Yeah. Like I'll always say bye, you know, make a big farewell speech, you know, whatever. Like you say all the nice things like, Hey, be good to mom, be good. And then I'll be back like 30 seconds later. And then you're the guy who went to Texas without a phone. That's impressive. That's right. You did that. Yeah. So I, I can't judge too much, but I did learn or realize I didn't have my phone pretty quick, but it's not quick enough for Scott Peck. So yeah, I've learned how many systems I have just subconsciously. Just can't help it. Just how I work really since dating rachel just like yeah of course i would have a place for

my wallet when i walk in my home yeah she's like oh i just throw my stuff down wherever i'm like oh my gosh i was like so every morning your keys could be anywhere she's like yeah i was like oh my gosh really put them in the same spot yeah but her is the same. I really think a lot of it is genetic. Like her dad, teacher, farmer has to do a lot of like, you know, analytical organized things for his job. So he's capable of doing it, but he's like, I tried my whole life. I've tried to be more organized when it comes to it. I can't do it.

You know? So I have a lot of sympathy. It's like, that's fine. I think it's like, you just can't help it. I'm sure a lot of people listening are either relating to one side or the other right well honestly i remember when i first knew you i thought you were more on the other side of things like i was like i don't know how jake like always knows where things are or like always like because your car you're you used to be infamous for your car just being like a smorgasbord of stuff like you're i don't know

what word you're gonna say your car was a smorgasbord dude that impala was a smorgasbord box um but yeah it was like infamous for like having a party in his trunk junk yeah junk in the trunk yeah and like literal drunk and like like you'd have one shoe but not the other one yeah apple costume from american idol banana suit caveman costume egyptian headwear two tennis rackets like unbelievable like. Like the things you had back there and the, like the depth of that truck. It was like, it was like, it didn't end. It was vast. And so I would have assumed you were more like the, yeah, I found them, but I didn't know where they put them, you know?

So yeah, maybe I've grown up a little bit too. It's also fun that you're like kind of learning about your like idiosyncrasies. I don't really know what that word means super well. I kind of know what it means, but like your, your habits, like once you, once you get into this relationship, you're learning like, oh yeah, I guess I do have a system for that, that I didn't really recognize beforehand. I'm learning so much about myself and not even via like Rachel, like explaining things to me, just like, just kind of self-awareness, just like, you know, analyzing like, huh, I care about this than i thought or like whoa

i am like wildly optimistic at times yeah i really need to manage my expectations you know just stuff like that like yeah you learn a lot yeah in a great way hey you just just wait you're gonna learn so much more just kidding i i've been telling brad and trey i was like i feel motivated to do a video called how married people talk to how married couples talk to dating couples. Um, like you fighting yet? You guys, you guys,

you guys bickering. Like, it's like people want to hear that we're going through stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like you guys, uh,

it's like border. This is an extreme version. Like you guys still like, you know, you still take her out to dinner. Yeah. Yeah. Well,

just wait, just wait. That'll stop. Yeah. It's like, really? I don't know if that's a guy. I've never been out to dinner with my wife since.

You still care about her? Oh yeah. I remember that phase. I remember that phase. I remember when I was in love with her and just, yeah. You guys smile? You guys still smile? I haven't seen her teeth in years. It's like, okay, I don't know about this. Yeah. So I want to do something like that um i do remember whenever i i think i was either i think i was newly married to katherine and my friend he hadn't even he wasn't even technically married to this girl he was just living in the same apartment as her which

is not good don't do that but he was doing it and he like they've been together for like 10 years or something like wow like a long time time. They got married eventually, whatever. But he was like talking about how they have a sectional like L-shaped couch and they would be on like polar opposite sides of the couch, like just wanting to each have their own space. And I remember thinking like, never would I ever not want to be completely right next to Catherine. Dude. Cuddling with her all the time. And now it's like, I will admit to that.

We were like never like c cuddly watching a movie, you know? So I don't relate to the, the cuddling thing because, um, at any given time, Rachel needs to be under six heated blankets. So that is kind of where she gets her warmth from. But I've had the thought before it's like, we're, we're eight months in and I still, I love a good, I'm driving. She's sitting shotgun seat heater on and my hand will be on her leg. And I'll, I love a good, I'm driving, she's sitting shotgun, seat heater on, and my hand will be on her leg. And I'll think about like, I wonder, like, is this a stage? Like, is this a phase?

I'm trying to have the perspective. Like, will we ever go on a drive? Are you like years from now? Will we go months without me putting my hand on her leg while we're driving? Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Hope not. Hope not.

Hey. Hope not. I'm guilty. I'm guilty of it. So right. Hey. Hey. Maybe. Hope not. Hope not. Hey. Hope not. I'm guilty. I'm guilty of it. So right. Hey. Hey. Hey.

This week I'm vowing and I want everyone else out there that's like kind of relating like I don't I don't do that. I don't I don't I was physically, you know, attract. I don't know. Not attracted, but I'm not touching her as much. You have three options this week. Everyone listening. Oh, three options.

Good. We're going to come up with the third one when we get there. But I know the first two one sit right next to your lady on the couch right now she's gonna say like what i don't care how hot it is outside no that's why i got the new h back yeah that's right get a fan number two number two hand on the even knee knees fine holding it hold a hand ah sweaty nope sweatier than the knee. Yeah. Hold, just, just be physically like, just, just give her some affection without like trying to get some affection. Okay.

Husbands. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. Or third. Um, what else do you need to do? Just take her out, take her out to a nice or intentional dinner. Have, take her out to a dinner and have six questions ready for her. Not seven, not five.

Six. Six questions ready. Six intentional questions that you prepared in advance to have a deep conversation about. Here are some examples. Oh, great. What is something you would like me to start doing? What is something you'd like me to stop doing? Is that two questions or one?

Gosh. No, hey. I don't know. Asking the real questions here because I said not seven. That is one question. One question. That is joined as one question. Okay, good for you.

Brad, what's one of your intentional example questions? I would just say, what's the highlight of your week this week? And then expand on it from there. Or how can I help you this week? Is that one question or is that two questions? No, there's two different ones. okay yeah highlight and help different oh two different ages baby it started the periodic table that's very similar but they are different look at you

i feel like i always got those confused oh yeah hydrogen helium like which one i'm not a science guy at all not a science guy remember thinking bill nye was bill new year's eve let's everyone celebrate bill nye must be his birthday three two one bill nye spontaneous combustion fireworks oh puberty the ball drops yes new year's eve it's all part of it's all part of physical science yeah bill new year's eve good guy good guy anyway okay so i'm gonna be i'm gonna be better with katherine you know okay i'm gonna i'm not that i'm like anti love i i love her in different ways you know but like it is awesome the first whatever year two years five years of a relationship like here here we go you see you guys see this no no no no no i'm not i'm not yeah yeah yeah no i remember that phase yeah it is nice it is nice where you're at right now i don't want to do it i'm trying to compliment you i'm trying to be like dude enjoy where you are because because it changes it changes yeah it changes. It changes. Yeah, it changes in a great way. I am so I'm so happy

that I am where I am in life. I'm so happy that I have three kids, but three kids make it a little bit less. You're less likely to hold each other's hands because she's reaching back to, you know, give Rosie or pacifier or something.

Yeah, Rachel, I don't know what spurred this on. Maybe we just saw family like struggling at some point this weekend, but we're like we should cherish this time where we're like, we want to have a quiet drive we are able to have a quiet drive sure you don't get that yeah choice yeah you know you kind of you kind of you do but you just don't realize that it's not quiet at all like like i'll be driving and there's just

chaos and i'm like oh yeah i guess i guess it's kind of chaotic it's been pretty loud for like 10 minutes i'm not even on the freeway yet. And it's already- You're on the fast road. I would love for you to come and sit in our van sometime. I had the thought of doing that. Just to observe. Where was I talking? Oh, we owe the Swicks a trip to Cincinnati. Remember this?

Oh, because the Bengals won. Because the Bengals beat the- Bengals! Oh, the Bengals! And so I was like, we could all just go in the minivan. I could take my whole family. And I'm like, I wonder if Jake could survive minivan I could yeah family and I'm like I wonder if Jake could survive obviously you could but like I wonder how you feel at the end of it like

if you'd be like that was great that was fun or if it was like man those kids are crazy because you get you get desensitized to like the the noise the chaos yeah it's like yeah that's part of it do you guys have we don't talk about this too much but or did you grow up having like weird words for stuff uh sure so we're cousin steve-o had woo woo really yeah it wasn't like what are you talking about i don't think i don't think like my parents ever said like hey this is what we call it this uh but i remember we said winky sometimes oh yeah that's right because someone's grandpa is also named winky right yes that's right yeah yeah that's right and Because someone's grandpa is also named Winky, right? Yes, that's right. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And then we called farts for whatever reason. We call them poopy sounds. I think we talked about that before.

Oh, interesting. Yeah. So it'd be like, instead of being like, oh, Brad farted, it'd be like, oh, Brad poopy sounded. Which is way worse. And what are you guys doing now for farts? For farts? I don't know.

I think we say toot. Yeah. Yeah. We try not, I don't know. I think I just try to like pass by it like just like hey don't don't say excuse me and then we don't say too much else but i think i think haddy says toots bo started to realize that tooting is funny yeah and so that's always kind of entertaining to watch him like he'll like do it and then laugh he knows like he knows what he's

done he's just a bro man so i miss they've been gone since Friday and I miss him. Yeah. You've been watching a lot of TV, a lot of TV. I don't know. What are you watching? Everything, dude. Like you name it. I've seen it.

Yeah. So genuinely, like I watched too much and I I don't even know if I really wanted to watch this all these TV or if I was just like, I guess I could watch something else. The TV made me. It's on autoplay. It was weird. It was like it was like, I mean, this day is pretty much over. So I'm just going to watch TV the rest of the day.

Gotcha. It's like, well, that's a bad, bad thought. But I watched some movies. I watched, um, let's see. What's the one? Oh, Top Gun. I told you that. I watched Bull Durham.

Okay. I watched a documentary about, uh, Christian, like, uh, contemporary Christian music. Oh, I saw that in your Patreon post. Where is that? Where can I watch that? That's on Hulu. Dot com? Uh, dot com or on the app. I use the app on my Apple TV. uh documentary about uh christian like contemporary i saw that in your patreon post where is that where can i watch that's on hulu.com uh.com or on the app i use the app on my apple tv um.com and that was i think you would like that cool i mean it was interesting i yeah i enjoyed that one i watched oh there was another there's i watched the hillsong documentary which you had watched

yeah what do you think of that i remember binging it in like one day. Yes, me too. Of a show. Okay. Like I had a show that night. Yeah, you were the one that told me about it. New York City. And just all day, I watched three episodes of it.

And I remember being like, I got to get outside. Like I'm going to call Rachel or something. That's what I'm saying. Like I watch all this, but it wasn't like fulfilling to me to watch all this TV. No, it was like. I was like, I feel bad. Yeah. Like that's a bummer both for that church, for how it makes Christians look for this

family, that guy. Yeah. Guy in charge. That's a bummer. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, ah, that made me kind of sad. It was like interesting.

And there are parts of it that I was like, whoa, but. Yeah. So yeah. Anyway, I, I enjoyed it, I guess, but not, I mean, I, I was enlightened. I don't know what the word is, but, um, it's interesting. It's an interesting, just the idea of like church when it, when a church turns into a business, obviously that's never how it's intended to be.

And so like when a church becomes a profitable machine for something, it's like, that's, that's not going to turn out well. Yeah. Very hard to keep it. Yeah. Yeah. How you want it. So yeah, I watched only mirrors in the building that's coming back. So I watched Catherine and I like watch most of it together. And then I watched the rest of it. I watched I saw I watched like 10 minutes of Severance. And then I was like, I don't want to watch this.

Really? I turned it off. I got Apple TV plus. Is that what it's called? You can just throw any words together. And it sounds like a streaming service now. Hulu Prime minus Hulu Prime Blue. Yeah, that sounds great.

Yeah. I got JetBlue Prime Plus. Is that a transportation? Is that a streaming service? I got Disney Pixar Gold, which is only Pixar movies. I got Amazon White. Right. That's the one with no ads.

No ads and no sound. Just white noise. Just a static signal the whole time. It's pretty cheap. Dude, I've been really enjoying subtitles lately. Why? I don't know. I don't know.

Once you have them on, it's like you kind of miss them when they're not there. What was I watching the other day? And I was like, I can't understand this without subtitles. I think this is going to be one of, I've started to pinpoint lately some of my future old man things. I think one of them, I'm going to pinpoint lately some of my future old man things. I think one of them, I'm going to be the old man. If like old men love having like certain things they really hang on to when it comes to watching sports. It's like, what's with all the showboating?

What's what happened in the bats? Yeah. Or just just banking it off the backboard. No one uses the glass anymore. My thing is going to be players who don't follow their shot. That's going to be the hill I die on when I'm the old man you die why don't they follow the shot i mean it's right there you know and anyway point being i'm gonna i'm gonna be the old man i'm gonna hang on to my youth as much as possible and just refuse subtitles like no really no i can hear i can hear just fine

even i have no idea what the movie is i'm like no we don't need subtitles we're young it's in a different language you're like i'll learn that language i'll figure it out duolingo yeah duolingo rosetta stone rosetta stone blue prime i'll download it yeah just like i'm gonna pause it and watch watch this rosetta stone thing real fast surely i can learn you know whatever indonesian real quick my day will come i'll have to succumb to the subtitles yeah i don't know i think I do have a little bit of a hearing problem. Like, like I think low murmurs. I don't have a hearing problem per se. Per se.

Like I can still watch the show without like the subtitles on, but it's just, it's just a little bit nicer. Okay. And then you also pick up on like, huh, that's how you spell that word. Yeah. Okay. Stephanie with an F. Motherlode.

I learned L-O-D-E. Did you know that? You're kidding. Did you an f mother load i learned l-o-d-e did you know that you're kidding did you know no mother load yeah i learned um let me double check before i just say this live on the pod that we can easily edit out but um the term oh either way somersault s-o-m-e-r yeah kind of weird at the front. Who's Summer? Who's Somersault? Summer? Somaire. Somaire Salt. Yeah, that is interesting.

Yeah. I can't. I can't. Is it two words? Somer? One word. How do you spell S-O-M-E-R-S? And then like assault.

S-A-U-L-T. Yeah. Huh. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. Things you learn when you have subtitles on, Jake. That's pretty cool. Just think about it. That's pretty cool. Anyway. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. Things you learn when you have subtitles on, Jake. That's pretty cool.

Just think about it. That's pretty cool. Anyway. Yeah. Haven't done a whole lot. I did see one movie in theaters. I'll give you a hint. Ready?

Yeah. Buzz Lightyear. No way. I would never see that movie. No. It's called Top Gun Maverick. Ever heard of it? Oh, yes.

Logan Paul's brand. Be a Maverick. Be a Top Gun Maverick. That's what it was inspired by. And I am here to say that I disagree with your take that it was just OK. I think it was a nine point five out of ten. I think my official stance is good action movie. Give me a ten out of ten.

For an action movie or for a movie? For a movie. For a movie? Oh, 7.6. Okay. That's pretty high. It's not bad. Yeah.

Yeah. Or maybe I don't know your skill. I don't know. It was out of 10. Well, yeah, but like, I mean, what, what are you giving a movie that you don't like that much? 4.1. Okay.

That makes sense. I don't know. Oh, okay. Whiplash. Whip. Oh, Whiplash. Dude sense I don't know oh oh whiplash whiplash dude I don't even want to tell you

I don't know I know you love whiplash whiplash would be like a I see I would there's 4.8 4.8 for whiplash jeez dude

war dogs okay war dogs war dogs I don't know 8.7 maybe oh man war dogs is great it is great but you know what's even better whiplash was just i don't know in the drums it was a unique movie yes it was unique yes which can be good yep anyway yeah i loved it it was so funny scott got there a little bit after me um but you know because he literally this is scott's fourth time seeing the movie yeah and he's like i don't need to see the previews i've seen those three times

and so he gets in there the previews are still going and he looks around the theater he's like i don't need to see the previews i've seen those three times and so he gets in there the previews are still going and he looks around the theater he's like all right full theater full theater theater baby like he's like so pumped it's like me peeking my head out before a show when lucas is performing like oh sweet yeah sold out tonight he was he was that excited about like it was like he was gonna perform yeah he was like oh sweet experience with all these people and then every single preview that would come up, he'd be like, Oh, this movie looks awesome. Like right, right. When the preview starts, I'm like, dude, is this, is this going to be it for the rest of, for the rest of this movie? Is he going to be like, dude, this scene,

watch this, watch this. Hey, it's, it's a little bit scary here. It's a little bit scary. That's Tom Cruise. So I'm like, okay, what's a little bit scary here. He did. He said that on the preview, right on the preview. He goes, he goes, oh dude, this one looks freaky. I'm like, I have no idea what's about to happen in the preview. Just let me watch it. And so I was like, he's going to be like this the whole movie.

He did great. I'll, I'll say that for Scott props every once in a while. I would like kind of get into it and look over at him and he's just like beaming at me smiling. So he was excited. What kind of snacks you eat i brought a uh what's your call dutch bros coffee you heard of that dutch bros it's a new new to kansas city place but it's like a west coast cool kind of place yeah dude we have so

many coffee shops here yes that's right we have kansas is known for their coffee you know it's like every other city but um yeah i just i just got, like I was, I was a little tired. So I brought some Dutch bros frozen or iced coffee and Scott did not have anything. Cause he's in shape. He's a fit boy. Yeah. Uh, but he was like, like at the end of the movie, he's like, dude, this crowd just like, wasn't into it. Like they were in Utah. He's like, he's like Utah. You could hear him gasping. Like they were laughing really hard. Like these guys and the sound system here. I just,

it wasn't as good as Dolby dude. It wasn't as good as Dolby dude. This is 5.1. I doubt it. I was like, this, it seemed great to me. It was really loud.

Yeah. Dolby. It wasn't as good as Dolby man. There's certain words that I feel like we know in society, just like, oh, that's good. We have no idea what it means. J.D. Power and Associates? It's like, whoa. Yeah.

What in the world does that mean? Dolby Digital Sound. Yeah. Shout out Dolbs. J.D. Power, like, is that their own little company? Did they just, yeah. It's like the Oscars? Is there an academy?

Is it just J.D.? How upset are you that you're, if you're one of the associates it's like it's like like what if like the vice president like could have like they're like i think we should do jd power jake triplet and associates it's like no no no i'm a man of the people go ahead just jd power okay great all of a sudden for the rest of their life jd power associates i don't know i'd be upset um we just got a patreon comment brand i want to read to you. Okay. Aubrey Magoon said, Brad, do you remember when you asked us to guess how many alarms you have on your phone?

um should i talk i'll talk um yeah brad this patreon comment came from uh another one of brad's blogs that he put up on Patreon. People love it. Oh, another Patreon thing. I woke up this morning to a Patreon comment that said, so I don't know when things get posted on Patreon. It's like you get a notification as the user. All I see is a comment that says, the strapless dress looks great on you, Jake. And I was like, what is that in reference to?

We don't even have anything on Patreon about me in a strapless dress turns out we do that's all you get to know um is um me giving a speech from a maid of honor so that's out there i'm at 100 alarms it's 8 48 in the morning okay you want me to keep going it might take a while i i guess i didn't understand what was happening when you said do you want me to count them i didn't understand what was happening when you said do you want me to count them i didn't know what other options we had well that's i mean it just i just knew it would take forever and i didn't know if it was like okay let's just estimate from here 350 really i don't know so you just start a new alarm every time you need one no i never i use siri all the time oh so yes so yes. Yes. Yeah, I guess you're right. But I don't like

ever like manually say like, hmm, 809. Like I don't have like they're not like multiple at the same times. It's just like I'll be like, Siri, wake me up in seven minutes, you know, or like Siri, you know. Yeah. Set an alarm for an hour from now. Wow. Let me give you more examples of how I do it. Do you think other people's phones are setting alarms right now? Or do you think Siri knows their voice well enough to not do that? Siri knows. If your voice is going off with this, then you are a really cool person. Hey Siri, set the timer for 15 minutes. Okay, it's on. Got it. Got it. So. What's it like to trade crypto on Kraken?

The Phenomenon returns to Paramount+. The only way we go home is together. From new season now streaming exclusively on Paramount+. Go see summer camp. Let's talk about it. There's not a ton to talk about. Other than Brad and I want to make it happen. More than likely we'll not be able to pull it off this summer.

And it's not because we're not excited about it. It's mainly because Brad and I, if we want to put on a summer camp, the first ever I mean, I have in history as a podcast ever put on a summer camp before, this could be the first of its kind ever. So we're going to do this. We want to do it really, really well. Yeah. We want you guys to have time to make all the travel plans you need to write. We want gas prices to go down.

No, we're saying that's only being factored in. But yeah, I think for a lot of reasons, it'd make sense to, you know, hopefully do it next spring or something. And yeah, really plan it out. Both all the logistics, location,

cost, food, you know, nurse. We looked into it. We might have to get some kind of primary insurance. Yeah. All the insurance stuff,

the legal stuff, like there's going to be a lot that goes into it. And also just from like, I mean, just from our experience at camp, like if you're going to put on a camp for people it's got to be life-changing yes i'm not just throwing people together like hey so you guys just you know you all have ghost hunters in common so have fun so talk talk talk for three days uh we're gonna put on top gun maverick yeah we we use the term at k country at canada like my camp we call them moments of wonder yeah we said like like make a moment of wonder for these kids that they just can't forget

kind of thing so that's definitely yeah we're going to strive for making it awesome and obviously we could try to strive to do that in a month or two and we would do all right probably but i bet half as many people if not a third of as many people would be able to make it happen and then it's like like some people are not gonna like the oregon boys they're not they're not gonna be like hey dude on the whim let's go spend all this money and drive all this way you know or whatever so um but yeah it was fun it was fun talking today you me and derek kind of just talked for a while and dream a little bit yeah let's let's keep working at it you know let's while we're still thinking about it and make some plans because yeah it's just there's so many things we could do like

give out a scholarship you know maybe like one or like a you know one person gets to come for free or something a contest um yeah just the parties skits right just everything i know so blob would love to have a blob just bring a blob with us yeah figure it out oh it'd be fun so tell me you said you were at camp this this week yeah went to branson this weekend and did a whole bunch of things one of them being uh finally taking rachel down to canicuck i hadn't been in years and last time i was there was 2018 i was on a limo um which is really fun driving a limo into camp and uh everything but so yeah i hadn't been forever and almost no one there anymore uh worked when i worked so i don't know many people the directors

yeah it's a weird feeling isn't it like it's like man i used to be like a big deal here not that long ago yeah and now no one knows it's like very humbling it's like okay it's exactly what i told rachel i was like it's cool to do stuff like this because like no matter what i thought of myself at the time or what people said about me like it's so cool to see that like i don't matter yeah like the gospel stays the same the faces and the names change but the people stay the same the message stays the same like that they don't need me yeah um so it was really cool but uh yeah i really got to see uh the director of the camp who's still there word we be love him to death oh so much of where i'm at now to him and the opportunities he gave me back today and got to

tell him that yeah face to face which is really cool um just how much i appreciated what he let me do on you know on camp property and how it shaped the rest of my life i feel like ward as far as like people go like the the thing I love that I, obviously, you know, Ward 20 times more than I do 20, 25 times more than I do, but thank you. I, from what I know about him, like, I remember he came to Kansas city one time and like hung out at K life maybe before you were there. I don't know if you were there or not, but like, he like talked to Catherine had like such an intentional, I remember Catherine was like, he was so intentional with like listening to me. And like, I could tell he like really like cared had like such an intentional, I remember Catherine was like, he was so intentional with like listening to me.

And like, I could tell he like really like cared about the answers to his question. Like he would ask me a question and he like, listen, like, I think that's so rare in these, like these days to like actually find somebody that's like, I truly care about you.

I'm not distracted by my phone over here. Like I just want to have a conversation and like get to hear how you're doing. And like, I don't know. I just think that's a really like as out of all the admirable things about him that's the one that i feel like is like that's he's amazing that's cool you know what i mean yeah it was awesome just to see him as element i mean this is the middle of camp this is one of the hottest days was like probably 97 98 it's so humid he's outside and he's coaching basketball yeah he's doing that he heard that i was up there so he as soon as he gets out of that he runs up and talks to rachel and i for probably close to 30 minutes yeah which in the six years i worked there at that camp i was never i never had 30

minutes to ward he's the busiest guy there he's in charge there's right always so many things i couldn't believe how much time he spent with us and yeah so intentional with rachel and really getting to know her and remembered her name when he said bye two hours later and right at the same time then we go to lunch and ward is front and center in the middle of the skit he's doing something he's yelling he's banging on a drum yeah and then when lunch is over he's there and he's mopping the floors i was like dang that is so cool yeah he's got a million things to do right now right and he's like sweeping the floors and mopping the floors and yeah it was really cool and i just love like anytime i, anytime I, anytime I really

respect somebody, I always am like, okay, what, why is it that I respect this person? It's like, okay, I respect him because he's humble because he's, you know, intentional with his word because he's like disciplined. And I'm like, okay, I'm not always those things. Like, but they are attainable. They're not like genetic. Right. Like that's like, that's my dad. My dad is those things. And I'm like, I'm genetically close to my dad, but he is so much more disciplined and so much more like humble and servant heart, you know, like all these things. I'm like, okay, I need to recognize those things in my own life. And anyway, sorry. Yeah.

So it was cool just to be down there. And yeah, like spurred me on. Like, so last week we made the camp counselors video. So I'm already thinking about camp stuff. Then they go down there. Now we're talking about all this ghost heart of summer camp so i'm in total summer camp mode right now yeah you know just like wanting to like yeah let's build our own and on top of that just um different people harrison is down here no no my pan hit the house

my pan hit your hand we're trying to film house? Your pan did? We were trying to film. Look at my pan. Look how flat my pan is on the side. This? We hit the house with the pan, yeah. What part of the house? It was like right by the window. I was like, did you guys hear? No, we were trying to do at-bats with a football, and we put a little bit of ham on the pan,

so sorry about your ass, landlord, but I'm more worried about my pants. You owe me a pan. I'll learn later what the video is i guess yeah okay anyway thank you i mean it is like it is it is a straight like the pan is bent if you can't see it on the youtube video like that's always a fun thing to admit to the guy who owns the house. All right. Just like, cool.

All right. So Harrison lately has been, we'll go back to Canada. Did, well, for one, I texted Harrison yesterday and said, hey, I know you work during the week, but I'd love to golf with you sometime this weekend. Are you available? And he's like, I have so many work emails.

I could, but you know what? I could probably be there Thursday at 430. I was like, okay, read it again. Read the text again. It's like, okay, so no to this weekend. He's like, oh, no, I know I can play Saturday. Okay. And then when we

were watching the NBA finals game last week, I told Catherine about that I was like I forgot how flighty Harrison is when he has his phone flighty is that the right word for it no that's a fun word yeah that's fun uh yeah he what like yeah the one that I remember specifically was Joker 2 is gonna be a musical so like I don't know if you guys have heard that but like there's a new Joker that's gonna come out out. It's going to be a musical movie. And so I said it. And I think Isaac was like, yeah, I heard that too.

And you were like, no way. That's crazy. I think he just come downstairs. I was like, what's going on? Like, oh, it's going to be a musical. They say it again. I'm like, oh, that's interesting. And then everyone's talking about it. Harrison's like, wait, did you guys like, I just looked up Joker 2 is going to be a musical.

And we're like waiting to see. He's like, oh, he's being serious. Yeah, dude. And then Isaac, probably three different times. there was a guy on the warriors bench who just had like really good looking like silver hair and i was like you know silver fox yeah it's like oh that's good silver fox you know whatever price set three or four times and then it's like fourth quarter it's like two minutes left in the game here's it goes that guy on the bench low key has like some nice hair and we're like yeah that's the guy we've been talking about all game we all like looked at each other like is he no he's serious he's doing it again and i bet that happened five

times and now he just hit my house with a pan he's getting into for youtube yeah i was gonna say i think i think your uh your roommates are getting a little more creative these days. I think F12 spurred something on in Scott and Luke and in Harrison. They're like, Brad and Jake are idiots and they get people to come to their... I get hit stuff with pans. See what kind of audience I find.

Harrison is very good at creativity though. So I'm glad that he's pursuing something. He is more full of ideas than any person I've ever met. Right. And I truly mean any person i've ever met i don't know where he like finds this in his brain to have all these ideas who knows but he does um good quality anyway being at camp was awesome on the way down there from branson to where the camp actually is i played rachel just various canna cook theme songs oh. Oh, yeah. Dude. No, wait. Go ahead. One Time by Michael W. Smith.

I don't know that one. Fired me up. Really? Oh, my gosh. Okay. It's so good. I doubt it's copyright. I could probably play it right now if I could find it. I'll keep talking. I'll find it later. But that's when we went to the blueberry farm. Which I was like, this is going to be right up Rachel's alley. You could pick your own blueberries.

Outside. Thunder. Yeah, it's 100 degrees out the heat index is 110 um yeah so that was fun and then went into camp and it was just so cool seeing like a few people that here's what happened is i saw every type of person so we'll go through it one i saw a 12 year old who knew me from tiktok that was great he was really really cool and was really confident. He walked right up to me and he goes, you make videos of Trey Kennedy. I was like, yes, I do. And he was so fun. And we talked for a little bit.

His name is Colin, Sean Colin. And then I had someone else come up to me and he said, hey, I'm a former camper. When I was here, you were on programs. OK, just wanted to come up and say, like, you're one of the main reasons I'm a former camper. When I was here, you were on programs. OK, just wanted to come up and say, like, you're one of the main reasons I'm here right now. No, you made camp so fun that I wanted to work here. And I was like, that is so cool. Yeah.

I saw a Ghostrunners listener in front of mine, Devin Coulson. Oh, yeah. I don't know if you've ever seen that. Yeah. But my last summer is his first summer. He's still there. OK, he's still listen to every episode. I guess he must do it on the two forks he was like up to date knows everything yeah so he was there which he was so likable as like a first year counselor so i'm not surprised

intangible quality about some of them that's like you are stud like exactly everyone loved him and they barely knew him and it's so cool to see now five six years later he has his own chant like the people borderline worship him he even said he's like dude it was getting like sacrilegious people would like or were like bowing to him he's like last year i really had to like say something he's like i felt so bad he's on leadership yeah yeah he was doing programs and now he's doing maintenance like dude good for you when i saw him he was in a cage with a wrench in his hand okay i was like wow okay um and then dark horse saw claire long Doesn't even work there. K1 came over to show them the camp and she was a counselor.

So former K-Life kid of mine. Wow. She was there. Yeah. And then saw Ward, saw the leaders. So yeah, saw one of every type of person. And it was just so cool just hearing nice things from people about the time that I spent there. And you just think about it's just this job. I was just tasked,

like I want to throw a cool party. And then next thing you know, people are like, like, I'll never forget this and what it did for me here and how it made me, I still think about it years later. It's like, Whoa, I mean, this is awesome. It's whatever. I don't, it's always hard when we like kind of toot our own horns, but it's, it's similar praise that we get sometimes with the podcast where it's like, we weren't trying to like affect, well in camp, we kind of had a deeper strategy behind like obviously we have fun but then at the end of the day it's about deeper things and fun but like it's the same idea like we we weren't

trying to change somebody's life to the point where they would you know become uh quit their job counselor yeah because of this party but at the same time it's like man i love that party and so then i kept going back to camp and then I worked here because of that, you know, changed my life completely. So it's just cool to hear about stuff. Um, Catherine's cousin, Jennifer, uh, had worked at K2 the last couple of years, but this year she studied abroad, but she was at work week, um, at K2 this past summer and they were doing opening day. And I guess, you know, opening day, they have like little interviews with the campers and like, what's your favorite podcast, whatever. And somebody who's like, Ghost Runners podcast.

A camper? Yeah. Oh, I believe that's a story. They shout it out in front of everyone at camp. Yeah, and Jennifer was like, wait. And they're like, oh, so you like know like Brad's family? Like, you know, Catherine? She's like, yeah, I know Catherine.

She's like, I've known her for my whole life. We got to find this person. I don't, yeah, I don't know. If Jennifer, if you're listening, if whoever's listening. Find them. Yeah. If you went to K2 and you like Ghostrunners and you said something about it, holler. I can't believe I forgot to tell you that. I heard it at the beach because I was with Jennifer's family at the beach.

So Jennifer's family. Yeah. Anyway, that was fun to hear. That's really cool. That's fun. That's amazing. I yeah, that's awesome. I'm I have Michael W. Smith one time pulled up.

I'm going to try to find the chorus. You guys are going to be like, that's the song you're geeked out about? But dude, when you're 12 years old and you're in a phone party, this is when I was a camper. That's why, yeah, I have so many memories attached to this. Let's try and find it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Michael W. Smith has a fight. that's so fun what's that doing for you it's it's fun it makes me think of it makes me think of like the dining hall like oh because you know at the dining hall you have different little themes you

know different days for different stuff and so it's, let's do throwback, like DC talk and Michael W. Smith. Yeah, whatever. It's funny because like Michael W. Smith did the theme songs for a while and then they got like Lecrae to do it one year. It was like, OK, oh, a little bit of a different level now. I don't even know what's going on now. Maybe you and I should do it. Maybe we should.

We're musicians. Yeah, we should. Yeah, we should definitely go back there and like, hey, we'll do whatever you need we'll do the theme song i guess yeah i guess we can perform one of our podcasts live for you guys um here's something potentially fun rachel just sent me a voice memo i think about her experience finding the phone and target okay shall we listen it could be fun dangerous rachel's a podcaster now okay here's what happened okay so i only had to get like three things from target so i got them really quick really record time and i got out to my car and my phone unlocks my car

that happened sometimes so i just waited a little bit and then it still wasn't unlocking so I automatically looked at my watch to ping it like I always do and it said it was out of reach it was like the red button or the red phone which is a nightmare for me to see so then I was like oh great I left it in target but then I was pretty happy because I remembered I'd only stopped at three spots in target so I thought it'd be pretty easy to find. Fair. So I went back to the self-checkout. And so I had to go, like, through the exit to the self-checkout.

And I checked at the place where I checked out and had to ask the people if I could look really quick who were there. And they were weird about it. But I did really quick, and it wasn't there. Okay. And my phone was still not within reach. So then I went back to the first spot that I grabbed items from, and my phone was still out of reach. And then on my way to the second spot, my phone became in reach.

Oh, baby. I wasn't at the second spot. Okay. But I was on my way. So I was like, oh, maybe it fell out of my cart or something. So I pinged it, but I couldn't hear it. So I just kept walking that way. And when I was about, oh, maybe it fell out of my cart or something. So I pinged it, but I couldn't hear it. So I just kept walking that way.

And when I was about to ping it again, a lady came up to me and was like, oh, looks like you're looking for a phone. I found one in a cart and gave it to a worker. So I was like, oh, that is awesome. Thank you for not stealing it. Now I just need to find that worker. So then I was just following my watch,

trying to figure out like where I was in range find that worker. So then I was just following my watch trying to figure out like Where I was in range to ping it okay? And so then I pinged it a couple more times and couldn't hear it And then I took like three more steps and he was out of range. Oh great. This worker is moving Then I had to just like power walk really fast in between aisles to figure out where this worker was and then i pinged it and i could hear it and then i went to the aisle and there were like three workers there and i asked if anybody had my phone and they made me say what color my phone was i don't really know why obviously

you're pinging asking for a phone i lost it but i got it back and i unlocked my car so it was it was a good day at Target. All right. That's fun. That's probably a fun little journey. That actually sounds really fun to me. Like, that'd be a fun date idea right there, Jake. I'm going to hide your phone. Yeah, go hide a phone that's connected to Apple Watch

and see how fast you can get it. I think that sounds like a challenge that I would enjoy because, you know, it's somewhere in the building and, you know, you're going to get information back to know if you're closer, warmer, colder, whatever. Yeah. Do I like? Yeah, I would do that. Maybe not with a phone because I don't want anybody to steal it while it gets pinged.

I love that. It's like, well, what? I'll give you your phone back if you can tell me one of the four colors that it could be. Yeah. Okay. What's the logo on the back? What kind of phone? Okay.

Describe the phone. Does it have a screen on the front or the back? Yeah. Physical buttons or touchscreen? Yeah. It's been going off like crazy. It's been pinged like 40 times. You got to prove it's yours though.

Yeah, seriously. Like those people are just holding it like, yeah. You got to prove it's yours, though. Yeah, seriously. Like those people are just holding it like, yeah. Well, I'm glad she got it. Sounds like she had a fun attitude. Great spirit about it. Of course. Always. When did she not?

I know. I texted her this morning. I was like, how was yoga? And she was like, I was the last one in, like always. I had to put my mat sideways in the corner by the garbage, which smelled terrible. But I had so much fun. Is she a late? She's a late person person she has not been on time to anything i mean she was probably you know very late being birthed yeah you know like she's four weeks late late arrival yeah didn't even want to bring that back up yeah late arrival um oh we didn't film the door dash video

today that reminded me the delivery. Yeah. Yeah. We talked a lot. We did, which was fun. OK, tell me more about you anymore for Branson. Oh, sure. Yeah. Let's see. You see some shows.

Yeah. So the Dixie Stampede, which is now called the Dolly Parton Stampede, still split up in north and south, though. It's a shock to learn. Yeah. Give us give us a quick rundown of what the Dixie Stampede is for those who don't know. I think if you're really old or really young you like it and if you're my age uh you go to kind of like satirically enjoy it okay because it's it's not like that entertaining

really but i just wanted never been it's one of those things like i got so excited to show rachel and now that she's seen it she's like i would love to come here and take my parents it's like something that's like kind of fun to show people. Like, look, look how like Branson sums up Branson. Yeah. Look at this. Yeah. I kept almost all the weekend a secret to Rachel just because she likes that. And it's like it's more fun if she doesn't know what to expect.

So I didn't tell her that, hey, you're about to eat a seven course meal with your with your hands. Really? They don't give you any silverware. And the first course is uh creamy mushroom soup this is like this is like just part of part of the experience that's how they've always done it so you just have to slurp the soup and then there there's a biscuit and then there's a potato wedge and then comes the entire chicken and then there's like a ham slice and then there's something else and then it's chicken and ham. Yeah. That's like an apple turnover.

Oh, that sounds nice. So, yeah, I mean, that meal is just so Branson. It's like we got water, sweet tea or Coke, which is fun out of a mason jar. And it's just a dinner show. There's like an hour and a half of entertainment. You're in basically like a rodeo kind of arena. And yeah, it's just very interesting interesting there's a lot of horses and animals and stuff involved and they split you into sides and they're like all right let's hear it for the

south i don't know rachel's like can you please talk like this the rest of the weekend because that guy was just ridiculous his mc voice yeah Um, how many people are there? Approximately. Uh, Rachel asked me that. And, um, I guessed a thousand and then I counted one row and times about how many rows there are. And I bet it was about 900. Really?

And so she was like, you've performed for this many people. I was like, yeah, like more than double that. Sometimes she's like, wow, that's cool.

Yeah. Thank you. You were at the shows, right? Yeah. Um, so that was fun. Just gonna take her there and um we went to a

a place called mel's hard luck diner yeah you mentioned that last week oh i hadn't heard of it okay yeah were there waiters waitress saying to you is it on the strip uh yeah okay yeah it's on the strip i ordered the spaghetti i would never order spaghetti in public i wouldn't like were the were the noodles like unnecessarily thick they were unnecessarily long okay there was like you know the fun facts you hear about your intestines it's like you know they go to the moon and back it was actually one noodle just like spun a bunch of times it could have been one noodle i don't know yeah i never got to the end of it i was just having like do that a lot. It was fun.

Just, um, yeah, I loved it. She loved it. Did they give you some insults? So what kind of, what kind of insult you said?

They're mean to you, right? No, no, they sing to you. Oh, they sing to you. Yeah.

They just sing songs the whole time. So like, you don't see your waitress for a while. It's like, Oh, she's like gearing up to sing a whole new world or whatever. Okay. Uh,

I don't know what song i was saying they're like weird weird song not like gospel like i don't know it because it's as old if it's like this seems like a weird version of an 80s song that wasn't popular oh really you know it's like i don't know what we're singing um maybe yeah very branson uh no we did not um i surprised i didn't turn the light on. Look at that. I look good no matter what. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah, because I wanted to do, we only had so much time and I wanted to do like very Branson specific, like go-karting, laser tech, pet pod, all still very Branson, but not like as specific as it could be. She's been there. Yeah, she's done that probably. She karted before. Titanic Museum, maybe not. Maybe.

Yeah. I was hoping to be like museums open up at like 8 a.m they're not um or else we would have done that um yeah had a lot of fun went down to canicuck had so yeah just good it was a good time steve and trish doing well yeah hung out with him friday went down the landing with them and um yeah i got dinner my dad you know we went to the place that it's just american but they have everything and he ordered like fish and chips okay and even as he's ordering he's like i don't know why i'm doing i don't know why i'm about to order fish and chips like why am i i never order this and we're like you know like do you want the burger like fish yeah he

doesn't really like fish and so he orders it gets it he finishes all like six you know like fish fillets and he's like boy that was not good i you know i just ate every bite and then we're walking away man i don't know why i ordered that fish i don't know why i don't no one else knows either i don't know why you did that oh man um so that was fun uh i learned after i asked to take them out to dinner and andy's that they've been pretty um disciplined in their intermittent fasting they have not been eating after 5 p.m except for this i think months so whoopsie daisy for months i think for a long time you know you didn't we don't talk diet it's off limits dr pepper that's it okay that's funny yeah that's always the hard thing

with intermittent fasting is like uh what about when someone wants to do something social with you it's like yeah i guess i'll just sit there i always wanted to do this let me eat the fish and chips i think it's called polyphasic sleep cycles where you sleep weird times but it's like you have to be so rigid that you basically can't ever say yes to anything spontaneous in your life yeah like sorry i need a nap right now. I'm going to get so thrown off. What is the schedule like? It depends.

It's different for every people. You can take a nap every six hours for 30 minutes, every four hours for 45 or sleep once to the night for four hours and then two naps during the day. Interesting. People try different stuff. I guess Kobe Bryant did it for a little bit. And one, you know, for national had success. So took us down to the Tanger Outlet Mall. That was fun.

Yeah. Got recognized a lot this weekend. Probably my favorite one, not just of the weekend, but maybe ever is middle schooler Johnny. Just I've never left someone speechless before in my life. And he was just like, I couldn't even say anything. And we're just the nicest kid and was like

I I watch your videos and I was like dude that's awesome that's cool he's like Gene Schwartz comedy I was like yes

yeah exactly like that's so cool and so got a picture with him and his dad was awesome and yeah so Johnny was the man big John big John

I like it that was fun um trying to think what other little things happened. Owlet Mall was great. At one point on the way back, we stopped at a gas station. And this was something kind of unique that happened. For one, a guy holds the door open for me to go into the bathroom.

Great. Awesome. i get in there and there's only one urinal it's like shoot he let me go and now i'm just kind of like okay i guess i'll go to the urinal and he'll just wait for me sucks for him was the stall taken yeah yeah so just one urinal so i'm like all right whatever i'll go and this is where it gets pretty unique as i am peeing at the urinal he's behind me just kind of waiting it's fine whatever i hear his belt start to undo like he undoes his belt behind me dude i was so uncomfortable what i hated it were you i guess he was just like getting ready just trying to you know cut out the three seconds it takes or dude i don't know did you did you peer up peer back uh

i didn't peer back i was scared of what i might see that's fair i was just like hey just stay focused you at the job at hand stay focused at the job in your hand stay focused stay focused stay focused everything was fine but i really did not enjoy because at a urinal i don't care where you are it's vulnerable i have always thought that i thought there's someone going to come punch me in the face right now, they could do it. And I would- I'm stuck.

And what do I do? Or if someone wants to come steal my phone right now- I can't do a thing. I can't just like turn around and run towards them. It just feels like I am locked into place until I'm done. Yes, I've always- Yeah. Thank you for also having that thought.

Yeah, totally. I've always thought like, if I'll ever go to like kind of a shady bar or something, I'm like- If I find myself at a shady bar. If I'm at one and'm if i find myself in a shady bar if i'm at one of them hole in the wall no seriously i'm like like if somebody could come up to me right now and just punch me and take all my stuff i'd just be there zipper down and not know what to do so anyway zipper down winky out vulnerable dude winky um yeah it was it was normal it was fine but boy i didn't like it i never want to have

that happen again i would not just yeah it was fun it was fine there's no no ending to the story really okay so maybe that just teaches you next time even if he holds the door you insist he goes first and then you unbuckle belt i insist yeah i insist is odd. Please pee in front of me. I insist. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Um, I, do you have anything more from brazen?

Rachel and I got really into the song staying alive by the Bee Gees. Really? Yeah. Just cause Rachel was like, can I put a song on? Which she never does. I mean, Rachel never makes decisions. It's always just,

you know, it's like, yeah, of course. And she put on staying alive by the bg she's like i think this is one of the best songs it is a very good song like it is underrated as soon as she said that and you hear just the first five seconds it's like actually yeah this is a really good song yeah and so we just played it over and over and over again where did it come

from like where i don't know like she was at fudruckers and she was like staying alive is on i gotta listen to that again no this was on the way down like nothing had happened i don't know why she just thought of it i don't know i don't know where it came from she's like can we put on staying alive by the bgs it it's a good song it's got a great bass bass like line in it we tried to search staying alive bass only oh because we wanted to hear that yeah it's great and then i mean the vocal like the bgs vocals yeah they don't make them like that anymore um that's really funny it's a big weekend for staying alive just over and over yeah a lot almost every time we get back in the car and staying alive did you have any like moments where you're like oh i want to listen to this song i guess you did because you were listening

michael w smith like yeah other thoughts of like like i bet if i went to camp i'd be like i remember when i was really into you know imagine dragons Imagine Dragons. I remember actually I was like, that was right when they had come out. And Catherine had this like mixed CD with Imagine Dragons on it. And we listened to it a bunch, you know, on two fours and stuff. That's great. I had that moment because I wanted to show her a ball of her briefly, which is on the way. So on the way down on Friday and we were at this intersection, I was like, this intersection

reminds me of fun. The band. I was like, they must have come on for the first time ever when I was in college here i don't know i just this intersection is associated with fun right now in this moment yeah exactly i love that and it was fun it was fun and then we listened to staying alive for the 18th time and it was great every time there's a really good cover of staying alive by i think the name is maybe try to find it serious black is that is that some have you heard of them uh serious xm no xm serious black staying alive yeah look it up sometime it's really look it up um anyway uh that's that's great i love that yeah uh i do have one i'll give you a dollar if for you

oh fun it's a it's a challenge it's a mental challenge of how well you know yourself and your technology okay uh i had a challenge for my phone this is a challenge for your own phone um as you know if you like pull down the the uh home screen on your phone oh you can search for things and stuff there's always four apps yeah i will give you a dollar jacob triplet if you can correctly guess at least two of the four apps on your phone right now that are suggested how many guesses do i get four oh cool yeah okay uh find my is gonna be on there potentially files actually as well really yeah yeah potentially i don't want to explain why okay okay i wonder if it's because you work

with files all day well do you feel like it's not always predictable when you do that yeah because sometimes it's location-based it's time-based yeah it's like it's kind of weird yeah but i do notice it and i take note of how unpredictable it could be it's like huh but sometimes spotify's on there it's like i don't really use you know yeah no notes is always on there for me maybe i should really no notes is not on there for me that's fine because because i do that thing on my phone where i like oh this is sorry i know i know i'm hijacking your game but like i delete a lot of the things off my home screen like i like having only one home screen of course i have a second one right now but like or one like slide yeah and then you just delete the

rest of them but keep the app on your phone. And you just find them. Yeah, and I search for them if I need them. So I really enjoy that. Okay, my two guesses. I would find my files. I'm going to do contacts

and then we do iMessage. Contacts? For the longest time, I couldn't find it. Every time I needed contacts, I'm like, where is this app on my phone? It was on the home screen

the whole time. I'm an idiot. It was on the first page. Okay, what'd you say again? Sorry. Find my files. What did I say find my files uh contact message and contacts yeah okay can i can i uh try to steal yeah if i get two wow this is gonna be impressive yeah guess four but they can't be any Spotify. Okay. Spotify. Instagram. Okay.

Spotify. Instagram. Lime. Lime. Apple. Spotify. Instagram. Docs.

I'm going to go Docs. Oh, okay. We use it. I know. That's a good guess. That's a good guess. Spotify. Instagram.

I owe you a dollar. Yes. Out of curiosity,

Which I don't use that very often, but I was just at home depot and i used it two hours ago so maybe it's like you need to use that again we had a fun blooper show with the girls today like one was like i just went like you know girls versus guys girls was like i just wish he would open up and then lindsey was like hey you know what time home depot opens up trying to get some steak you're like what like steaks to put in the ground i know they don't serve a steak.

I need a steak Oh, it's gonna be a great blooper cuz she is like not backing down like I had to do this last week I went to home? I need a steak. Oh, it's going to be a great blooper. Because she is like not backing down. Like, I had to do this last week. I went to Home Depot to get a steak. A steak? Yeah, a steak.

I don't know. I wasn't totally following. That's so funny. Morgan and I were dying laughing. Okay. What time's Home Depot open? I need a steak. Mama needs a porterhouse.

Lindsay Porterhouse. There you go. That's great um something happened like probably a month ago now that i was like brad's gonna love this and i forgot to say it for a month so the details are gonna be iffy okay but i go into the subway by my house and love how much you like subway no one in my life likes subway it's hard i like it fine okay thank you really really hate on subway rachel is so turned off by it and even isaac i can't isaac and i will eat anything together isaac is anti-subway isaac's anti-subs period really cold cuts not for him cold warm

toasted doesn't matter he will not touch toasted lukewarm just out of the microwave reason cold like dude let's go get jimmy johns he's like no i don't like i don't like you like Jimmy John's. So anyway, but I think Subway's fine, but I think it's hilarious. Like I meant to make fun of you last week when you were like, oh yeah, I remember in Indianapolis, I walked to a Subway. I was like, you were in Indianapolis. You could have gone to this like fun local place. You're like, you know, a $5 foot long sounds nice right now. It's, I don't know. It's just not in my personality. I just, I can't get that into food. It doesn't have to be food though. I think half the fun of going to a restaurant is the experience of like the atmosphere.

Let me tell you about the experience and the atmosphere that you get at Subway. Which Subway are you at? Oh, the one, oh yeah, right by your house. You know, same parking lot as Jumpin' Catfish. That one's been there forever, by the way. Really? Yeah.

Dude, you been inside the pizza shop by my house? Oh yeah, sure. It has not changed since 1996. And I really like it. I like it. It's that that way it's got all the pendants up yeah it's like uh old like red cups that every pizza company had you know oh it's just it's awesome yeah um anyway so like i said i'm not gonna remember a lot of details but i remember kind of the end of the story basically the um when i pull up i was like am I coming up on like a domestic like situation? I don't know what's going on or outside or inside on the outside,

but then everything seemed fine. They kind of went their separate ways. And then, um, the girl goes inside because she's an employee. So I'm talking to her where, you know, get my order.

And then that guy comes back in. Apparently he also works there too, but he's just off the clock or something. It's like, Oh, okay. So they do work together. Okay. But then I learned they're in a relationship.'s like oh okay and they seem fine now okay so don't

yeah don't mix love and cold cuts yeah and toasted cheddar don't mix black forest ham and salamis and girlfriends and girlfriends not all at once and anyway all i remember was just something like um the guy was asking me. He's like, man, what do you do for a living? And so I'm kind of explaining it to him. He's like, you hiring? And I was like, oh, no, not really at the moment. And I was like, you looking for work?

And he's like, yeah, man. I mean, just working here, just like not like it's not enough for us. Like it's just, you know, we work here all the time. And it's still so hard to like, yeah, just like get by and everything. And so I had a lot of like, I don't know, compassion for the situation. I was like, oh my gosh, and I was so bad for the judgments I might have had like going in there. And anyway, so then it just becomes like this really fun, like brainstorming session with me and these two people of like, let's figure out like ways you can like make money on the side or whatever yeah and so i threw a lot of different stuff at them but i the one i remember him like resonating with i was like no i've never done this i was like if you guys have i was like do you guys have like a truck or anything he's

like yeah i've got a truck i was like okay perfect i was like i've heard that there's some money to be made off facebook marketplace um like buying like large items like buy you know you find a nice like couch that someone's selling for prairie village you buy it from them and you sell it for more okay you know on facebook marketplace you don't even need you just leave the couch in your truck until you sell it whatever i was like you could flip items on facebook marketplace he's like okay he's like starting to get the hang of it and i was like so francis you do this and you do this and um he goes outside or no, we were still inside. And he's like looking around and in the dumpster of the parking lot,

like of the subway parking lot, there was like a little like baby crib in it. And he gets fired. He's like, so like I could sell that baby crib in that dumpster. I was like, yeah, you could go to that dumpster and you could sell that baby crib. Yeah. Just take it and just sell it on Facebook marketplace. He's like, oh boy. He's like, we just go. He was like oh boy. He's like, we just go.

He was like so excited. He's like, we'll go home. We'll like, we'll clean it off. Like we'll put like the bathtub or something. Like we'll clean it off. We'll like do what we do. You know, make it look nice. We'll sell it on Facebook marketplace.

I was like, exactly. I was like, you go all across the town, buy baby cribs and dumpsters. And it was. This guy's going to become a hoarder because of you. Yeah. He's going to have, man, no one wants to buy dumpster baby cribs. I don't know what's going on. I'm about to give a little false confidence on the baby crib dumpster i was like yeah i mean someone will want it somebody in this town there's no reason that

things in the dumpster i guarantee you um anyway i feel like we left it a really good spot it was really fun he was like really motivated to find things just they're being sold online and you know just take nicer pictures of them and hopefully like sell them for more money or whatever and i want i meant to go back a couple days later and see if the baby crib is in there um and i don't know but i'm excited for like the next time it's that subway to hopefully see them or check in and like how's facebook marketplace going that's really um so that's fun i glad. Good for you for like having that conversation and not just being like, dude, I'm sorry. That's tough. You know, economy's tough right now or

whatever. Just be like, okay, well let's fix it. Like, yeah, let's take some extra time and like be intentional about this. That's good. Yeah. It was a good time. That's great. I'm not positive, but that might be what all my friends who say they work in consulting do, but maybe not. I think that's what everyone wishes they did in consulting. Cause that sounds fun. I don't think many people that are consultants are like, I love my job. It's just,

it's so fun. Yeah. Um, okay. Should we do some, I don't know. Yeah. Voice memos.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Here's one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Voice memos? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's one. Hey, Drinking Brad. This is Lucy from Arkansas, and I just wanted to say that you guys have been killing it lately. I've just been loving the content,

loving all the recent episodes. I don't know if it's the fact that you guys have guests on or whatnot, but the vibes are up, my friends. All right. Anyways, I just wanted to ask you a quick question. Do you guys think you would have been friends if you knew each other in high school or middle school? Etc. Thank you.

Would it be friends in high school, middle school, or etc.? I think etc. Is that the name of your middle school? Mine was Mark Twain. I assumed you went to etc. I did. Okay. Egg-cetera though. I assumed you went to Etc. I did. Okay. Etc.

Etc. It's only brunch hours. Yeah. It had Benedict. It had. Yeah. Scrambled over easy. Our rivals were sunny side.

I hate those guys. Those guys were jerks. Don't even talk to me about poached. Stole all our people. So will we be friends? Of course we'd be friends. I don't know. I think we'd be like tight though. Do you think we'd be friends i don't know if we'd be like tight though do you think we'd be oh i think so you think so you were the exact person i gravitated to all the way through school but i don't know if i was the same back then you know i mean you seem probably more the same than i was the same you think so i don't know there's

no way tell me tell me what you mean by that tell me what tell me how you were i think uh like when I look at a lot of like my best friends like in ninth grade before Randy Roepke moved You could have been my Randy Roepke and then he moved away and it's like well I really like Joe Preston, but then he moved away. Now I understand Well, like you were like Randy Roepke and then Joe Preston Okay, no no no. Um just like the one there had to be a baseline of like can we bond over sports? Can we play sports together? Boom. That's there.

Yeah. Two, really the only other thing I needed. Are you funny? Do you make me laugh? Yeah. Let's hang out. Okay. I totally.

How, how sarcastic were you back in the day? Oh, did you use it as like a defense mechanism? I don't know if I had things to be defending away. Okay. It seems like just, you know, things were good. Life was good. I don't know. Because I think if you were, if you were too mean to me about me being chubby i don't know if i would oh my god you think that's something that might have come up yeah being sarcastic about that i

don't know no i don't know no because here's middle school is the prime of my life i was going to canna cuck i was in youth group oh you would have you were michael every morning yeah because i remember uh one of my best friends still to this day, Logan is his name, Logan Lindahl. He, we were in band together and I remember like, you know, they made all the trumpets like individually play this thing. And I played it. And I remember he turned around and I thought Logan was like a tool and he turned around and he goes, dude, you're really good. And I'm like, Whoa, this guy's nice. And then all of a sudden I was like, I misjudged this guy. He's actually the nicest guy I've ever met. And I think I had,

I just was like, kind of probably a little bit insecure about myself. And so I was like, I don't want, I don't like when people make fun of me. So if they make fun of me, I'm just going to like, like hate on them back. So I didn't know if you would be that way. I don't think so. But I think it's also very easy to say like no i would i would never in middle school i would never make that joke say something i regret no way back then no way i would never no yeah i was i've always i've always been a humorous person yes for sure um i think me you and scott like absolutely would have been friends yeah from the from what i hear you kind of like,

I think back in the day you and Scott were probably similar, like almost the same person in a lot of ways. Like, cause you were pretty shrimpy. Big, big jumbo shrimp. Scott was a little shrimpy dude. There was a book back in the day that we read in class called freak the

mighty. You ever heard that book? No. It's, it's basically about this one really big kid and this one small kid and they were best friends. And I was like, Scott, we're freaked to mighty. We're freaked to my, like he would like freak, whatever the guy's name was, the guy, the big kid would literally put the other kid on his

shoulders and they would walk around together. I'm like, who put, who put him on his shoulders? Uh, in the pool, Scott put me on his shoulders and yeah, no, uh, I never, I don't think I ever like had him on my shoulders, but that was definitely like our relationship was like, hey, little buddy, these guys are cute together. Man, middle school was an interesting time, man. Just AIM and the girls, always seeing how they're doing, checking their away messages. I am just so sad.

I feel like everyone has a better memory than I do of like things that, and I'm blaming it on my theory is that I slept so little in college that I think I lost a lot of like memory. Yeah. When I've read this little tidbits here and there about sleep, it just seems like it's sleep is so incremental when it comes to like health or growth or a lot of things, but also just like retaining memories, I think is one of the core things that sleep helps you do. And that's my, you know, sports marketing degree theory. Googled it once. And that's fine for me. Yeah. I don't know. I just can't remember very many specifics at all about that era of my life. Really? I mean, even college, it's like, I remember some stories. We had fun. But it's like, yeah, what did I do? Like, what did I do?

What did I fill my time with all day every day totally yeah interesting like i drove through sbu and i was expecting more things to like kind of come rushing back it's like there's some stories it's like yeah i think i had a class in calvin maybe i don't i don't know ah that might have been just one of my friends who told me about it i could go either way that is is either a class building or... Wait, no, I lived there. That's a dorm. A boiler room or...

A boiler room. That's where we had chapel. Shoot. Oh, shoot. That's where we had chapel. I didn't get my chapel credit. That's where I didn't go to chapel. That does remind me too, though.

This whole weekend, Rachel was so good and enjoyed so much. I mean, it was just a weekend full of me just telling her stories. We went Bolivar, Stratford, Branson, Canicuck. So it's just a, you know, a massacre of just like a Jake filled weekend. Here's just let me tell you this memory. Let me tell you this story.

Let me expect you to remember the names of every single person in every story and how they're connected to my life. Right. And she was good. She remembered them. Smart girl.

Must have got a lot of sleep. I bet she does. She seems like a sleeper. Let's listen to another one. Hey, Jake and Brad. It's Jillian from Wisconsin, not Gabby or Jenny. You have my name right, Jake. I'm the one who made the March Madness bracket pool

and the guess where the college game was for you guys. And apparently I wasn't thinking and didn't put my name on the sheet. So sorry about that. But anyway, it made my day being mentioned on the pod and hearing you guys play the game. I hope you'll have as much fun playing it as I did listening because I was laughing so hard and yelling at you guys in my car as y'all were answering the questions. And I smiled the rest

of that Monday morning. So thank you guys for always making my Mondays so much better. And I'm definitely looking forward to this week's episode as I go into a super busy week at work after coming back from vacation. Okay, I have two questions for you guys. One, Brad, when are you and Catherine going to do this foot race that we've been hearing about? And two, if you guys were to have a secret room in your house, what would it be? Like an indoor pool, movie theater, whatever you want. Those are options? That's a fun question. Sorry, I didn't even hear the last thing you said that is fun i used to love the idea of a uh secret like revolving book yes uh shelf book only murders in the building check it out dude what the movie this tv show it's got them there is one i remember like

when my parents were like looking at like buying a house i don't even know what stage my life is what not enough sleep but we were looking at houses and i wanted to i wanted um i wanted a fireman's pole and i wanted like some sort of secret room so bad and they're like we haven't found any houses with those things yet that is so relatable both those things like yeah like i i at one point i definitely wanted to like be able to go from one story to the next why not go to the garage yeah yeah oh and and the secret room like yeah there was a girl in my grade school they like built a house and they had like this and we was like so in here the closet it wasn't like anything like super cool but it was like whoa there's this room down exactly i didn't come with that out of nowhere it's like brandon smith

had it so i know it's out there i know it exists it felt like a very like 90s movie like kids movie like they always had like the secret room. Probably. Those are extreme examples, though. She gave indoor pool and basketball. How do you just in the blueprint, you just miss an indoor pool? It's underground. Okay. My big thing

right now, my big kick, my big pipe dream, which loved even before I clicked on the link, I knew. Yeah, baby! I knew it. I did that one for you and you only. No one even knows what we're talking about. The Patreon. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Brad is all about, which I really love, and I hope other people appreciate it too. When Brad writes a blog post on Patreon, it's riddled with in-text links. Is that what you'd call them? Or is it clickable words? Yeah, hyperlinks. Yeah, hyperlinks. And so Brad said the word pipe dream about something. And it was like, you know, light blue to yeah hyperlinks and so brad said the word pipe dream about something and it was like you know light blue so i know you could click on it and i was like i don't even need to click on it but just to make sure it's what i'm thinking uh and

it was great talking about a blast from the past yeah um anyway my newest pipe dream is to someday have just enough land not a ton i still want to live like close to the town, to the city. But enough land to put a like sports barn on. Pickle barn. Sports barn. Sports barn. Okay. Pickle jar.

Pickle barn. Something like that. Okay. It's got a pickleball court. It's got a like golf simulator. And then maybe like a little like fitness area. No basketball? Whatever Rachel wants.

That was Rachel's thing too. She was like, what about, you know, like basketball court little like fitness area. No basketball. Whatever Rachel wants. That was Rachel's thing, too. She was like, what about, you know, like basketball court or like. Yeah. Think about kids. I was like, whoa, whoa. No, I'm just kidding. I was like, that's a good point. So the pickleball court could like you could put a basketball court or basketball goal

on like one of the sides. It could double. Yeah. Double up. I want my kids growing up playing basketball on a tennis court surface. And then they get to the real surface like, oh, this is way better. It's easy. Yeah.

Okay. But you want it to be hidden. So that is all underneath my house. One tiny door leads to the sports barn. I love the idea of having like a tunnel down. Like you. Yeah. The sports barn is like.

It's not directly under my house. Yeah. Did you ever hear that rumor about there's those two homes in Mission Hills, which like the super nice area of kansas city that had a tunnel that connected them because oh and they were soft swinging oh no the uh i think the two owners the two builders like the two owners they were sisters and so they wanted to be able to like go into that hang out i guess cool that's fun that's right that's pretty cool yeah if you live next door to your best friend and you built a tunnel. Yeah. You're like, Hey, I'm going to come over real quick. Hey, cool. Yeah. Hey, no problem. Um, okay. That's a good answer that I don't know if I can, I mean, pool sounds great. Um, I don't know. I'm pretty boring right now. Right now I would

love a space in my house where I could like just comfortably be by myself every once in a while. Like what if your secret room is a room only you know about? That's all it is. Yeah, literally, that's what I think. Like, it'd be really nice to have a secret room with like a desk and a really nice chair,

like a leather bound chair. That's that's all I would really want to sit up right at the desk. Or do you want to lean back? No, no, this would be a this would be a chair in the corner. Sorry, the desk with the desk chair and then a chair in the corner that i could also like not necessarily crying in it's kind of a two chair room pretty similar with

my brown chair i have in my living room right now yeah like basically just build me a room and put that brown chair that's a that's a big daddy chair that's a good one it's great cather's trying to get rid of it it's probably gonna happen i think i'm not getting rid of it i'm going i'm taking downstairs you throw it in a dumpster by subway if you if you do get rid of it i know some people could use it that'd be great if you start like just planting stuff yeah just like trying to support them a little bit it's like a brand new like and it's all baby themed like it's a brand new crib a brand new baby teaching them how to fish i'm not just gonna give them money i'm gonna give you like kind of an old sectional see what you do with it see if you've learned anything but they forget to look in the dumpster and then

they get it keeps like getting dumped out like yeah okay guys landfill's getting a lot of good furniture dude i feel like you guys are constantly moving something in your house constantly nothing is ever just the same inside of that house which i respect katherine for always wanting to upgrade and think differently and try to like whatever. But I'm like, I'm so content. I'm just I'd rather just stay the same and just just be good. Like, we're fine. I think we're close, though.

Yeah, I'm sure we just get that chair and everything. Everything's good. We do need to upgrade our bathroom at some point. We're going to do that. And then we had this HVAC situation. So HVAC poultry of the week for me is that this HVAC situation. So. Oh, HVAC. Poultry of the week for me is that the HVAC system, like one of the, one of them is, doesn't seem to be working. Like I had to sleep with a box fan in my room last night. I was like, this is miserable.

So they're coming tomorrow to check it out. But I'm like, I'm like this, after you spend all that money, you don't want to, you want it to be working so good. You're like, honey, where's the, where's the down coat? I am freezing. Yeah. This this is terrible this is too much so uh let's do some reviews of the week um mine is actually a youtube comment youtube comment of the week it's from patrick from washington met him out there um we did shows in spokane great guy great fellas had a interesting name do you remember his name yeah miguel no i know you remember don't put me on the spot with people i've met in person sorry it was like patrick and like uh like a jewish sounding name maybe jean carlo is that jewish i don't think that's jewish

and i don't think that's his name. Giuseppe. Giuseppe. Also Jewish sounding. You can tell I know a lot of Jewish people. Anyway, go ahead. Why don't I just read this? Giovanni. Dang, maybe it's Italian sounding. That's, yeah, that sounds right.

It's something like that. I think that's it. You just said it. Yeah, I think that's it. Okay. Good job. That is what often, yeah. Thank you.

John, what did you say the verse? Giancarlo. Giancarlo. Yeah. Giancarlo John. What do you say in verse? John Carlo. John Carlo. Yeah. John Carlo Schmitz. One of my favorite Jews. Carlo Lieberman. Patrick, he leaves a comment every YouTube video and it's great.

And I didn't even really notice it. But two episodes ago, he didn't leave a YouTube comment, but he did like a week later. He goes, sorry, I haven't commented, guys. I crafted it in my head last week and just realized i never posted it he said you guys have been on an amazing role lately i feel like this is the best time to be a ghosty which is already just a cool thing to think about that there's like eras of times like oh that was the 90s mariners they are hitting their stride yeah jay buner every single episode lately has been absolutely hilarious from the very start to the very end.

I just wish I had more time to go back and listen to every episode again. You guys need to have Scott on as much as possible and or any of the roommates, really. Keep the energy coming. Never stop what you're doing. We were all so blessed and lucky to have this podcast to brighten our lives every Monday morning with Jake and Brad. Thank you guys.

That's sweet. P.S. John Carlos says hi. Yeah. Patrick is a man. P.D. Ramen. Yeah. Thanks for all your comments.

P.D. Ramen. What's his last name? Drama. Drama. OK. I always Patrick. FYI, I always read it as P.D.

Ramen. P.D. Ramen. Also, this is so weird. I'm going to say some weird things about ghosties that i don't know personally cool because you guys think you know us personally which i think you do but i don't whatever i told you earlier but the girl that tom cruise is in love with on top gun reminds me of page cuco never met page i've seen a few pictures of her and i'm like that's what i think she looks like

i don't really know uh anytime i see a guy that's like a bearded guy in Kansas city, I think of a ghostie named Josh Brumfield, I think is his name. Oh yeah. Never met you, Josh. I'm pretty sure you have a beard. And I think to myself, every time I see like a burly man, Hey, there's Josh Brumfield. Really? Yeah. Like a woodworker, woodworkers guild guy. I'm always like Josh Brumfield. Dude, I bet I have weird stuff like this too. I can't think of it right now. Yeah. Cause we do have a relationship like it's

not completely a one-way relationship it's like we interact with you guys all the time we've seen little profile pictures oh yeah it's yeah it's weird thing like like uh crew neck sweatshirts remind me of caleb lee i don't know why i don't know why i don't know why but like it's like that's something dude you know every single person listening to this right now is like have i commented am i about to hear my name next? Like, what have I said? What is he going to do about me? Like, I mean, you could, you could mention some people and I'd be like, oh yeah, I have a connection with that.

You know, whatever. So maybe I'll, I'll try to think of more for next week. But, um, those are some off the top of my head that I could just think Josh Brumfield was the one that's really weird. Cause it's like 20 people in my life that I see like every, every day I see a Josh Brumfield and those guys i think he lives in kensington he's probably like that's weird anyway okay i remember when um nina nazi yes came up to me after the show in california and i immediately knew who it was just because

of the tiny little like profile picture that youtube gives you yeah which you know i don't think it was updating those it's probably not even like an accurate or like a recent photo. But I still was like, it's got to be Nina Nazi. That's that's the knots. Yeah. Yeah. The garlic knots. We saw we saw a ghosty today.

Michael came up to us at McLean's. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Took a selfie with him. Yeah. So shout out, Michael Schifferly. I think is his last name. Oh, cool.

Yeah. The recognitions have been off the chart lately. Branson was good to me. I mean, everywhere. It was just so fun. When is Branson not good to you? It's good to everybody. Yeah, it was great.

But hey, thanks for the comment. Good to know that you enjoy Scott and all of our friends, whatever they enjoy. Absolutely. Thanks for enjoying, Scott.
