Friend Garrett Gibson told me he's like hey really excited for you but also i need to tell you about something uh fanduel that's like sports betting app has a

place in their app where you can be betting and competing in things for real money that are not sports they're like little like games like bejeweled basically is on there like tetris is on there you can gamble real money against real people playing these like knickknack patty whack give a dog a bone give a jake uh yeah hundro bone give a jake a buck uh is it yeah okay i have lots of questions and so go ahead the thing he was so excited for me about was um for whatever reason i feel like occasionally on this podcast, I will talk, you know, I try to show a lot of humility and I try to acknowledge that I don't know much and I'm not good at much. I'm just doing my best here. But there are a few things that I weirdly feel like something about it. I just, I feel talented in this area. Everyone has those things, right? For you, it would be clapping in odd numbers, snapping, snapping in triplets.plets yeah or what else would yours be

uh act scoring yeah acdc every time anyway uh i think one of the other ones have been um passing a volleyball compared to other heterosexual men that one has a little stipulation to it this one doesn't have a stipulation this is a long intro basically uh it's the game boggle but like a digital version of the game boggle it came out when we were in college there was a it was called like scramble with friends like words oh yeah it was a big game of mine for when i was in studying abroad in spain yeah so scramble with friends there's a bunch of iterations of that game it's basically like you get a block of letters and you are just trying to like connect letters to make words as quick as possible that style of game for whatever reason just like does well with my brain it's nothing i'm doing yeah i think it's all just the wiring and garrett

remembers this and he because they used to and garrett reminded me of this i'd kind of forgotten but people would gather around yeah in college to watch me play this game and so garrett was so excited because he's like jake crazy college you can win money playing this game that you are great at and i was like oh my gosh i forgot about it until yesterday wow and so i start but it's a little different this is a scrabble scrabble face-off or something like that oh okay he's sponsored by scrabble though yeah yeah all rights reserved yeah um and sponsor of today's show actually. Yeah. Hasbro. Yeah. I don't know. Milton Brown. I don't know.

Nabisco. Yes. Nestle I was going to say. Yeah, it was Nabisco. Basically, I'm trying to just set up the scene here where I got so excited. I started playing Scrabble and I win the first one. I play a free game just to get my feet wet and I do really well i demolish this guy okay and then i see i could play a 60 cent game a three dollar game or a

twenty dollar game i don't know uh these are my only options like you can't like really submit how much you want to play it's like a 60 second it goes from three to twenty yeah 60 cents three dollars or twenty dollars but i see in like the things it says that like you will be paired with someone of a similar skill level But you're brand new if we're doing skill based matchmaking. Yeah now is when the harvest is most plentiful It's like you've never played fortnight before yeah, you know on this I've made a new account Yeah, and so perfect. I dove right in second game ever $20 games on this stupid Scrabble game and We just start raking it in. $20 by $20.

It got to a point where I don't know what happened, but there was no one left to play. I don't think this is a real popular game because I would finish my round. And then instead of seeing if I won or lost, it would say like waiting for opponent. So it was like, I don't know. There's just not enough people out there so i

moved on sorry this is where i'm going with this whole story okay because one of the other aspects of fan duel face-off is wheel of fortune just classic wheel of fortune i gotta say i've actually lost a few of the word games i am undefeated in 20 wheel of fortune So this is just PSA. There is money to be made. Guys, it's out there. On FanDuel Faceoff. $20 games. It's so electric. No way.

Doing $20 Wheel of Fortune. I did actually lose my first game this morning. It was in the bonus round. It was when they give you, all right, we've given you RSTLNE. L-N-E. Sure. And it was two words and the category was just thing.

And I had B blank L-L. Okay. And the next word was like W-E-E blank I-L. W-E-E blank. And so I was like. Bull weevil. Yes.

And you know what I typed? B-U-L-L. Bull. Yeah I was like. Bull weevil. Yes. And you know what I typed? B-U-L-L. Bull. Yeah, that was a bull weevil. That was like a male weevil. So I. You mess with the bull, you get the weevils. Yeah.

Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this type beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat, too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet, because it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast. Every Monday morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Episode 186, Jake and Bradad one of us is rich the other one just got back from south dakota and remind me again what was it like a hunting trip oh my gosh yes that's right it was hunting

wasn't it was it okay yeah i didn't know yeah i'm uh i think i'm pretty into it all of a sudden really yeah i just can't get enough of the thing. Guys, we're in a new studio, by the way. Not the finished studio, but Rachel finally fully moved into her new house and her new bedroom. So we moved out of there. By herself. Yes. We're in a different part of the house, in the Promise House.

So check it out. But yeah, Brad, how was South Dakota? Oh my gosh, guys. It was awesome. It was so much fun. Did you have to buy a lot of like hunting gear? Or did you just kind of like hunt and whatever? Yeah, I, no, I didn't have to buy as much.

I really thought I was going to have to like go all out for this thing. Oh wait, you're setting it up? Check it out, YouTube.com. Check it out, guys. Pretend that it happened. No, no, no, no, no, no, pretend that didn't happen. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No one knows. No one knows. You thought you're going to have to go all out.

But the thing is. But the thing is, they provided a lot of it for me. I thought you were going to say, I just kind of hunted in normal clothing. Honestly, it's just like what I wear every day. Street clothes. I mean, it's the same thing. Honestly, like I always tell people I'm the same guy when I'm podcasting as I am when I'm hunting.

Right? I'm pheasant hunting. I'm podcasting. You wouldn't know the difference. I'm a husband and a father, you know, all in one outfit. This is, this is my pajamas. It's my hunting outfit. It's my podcasting outfit. It was bro. It was genuinely like the most fun. It was so fun. It was so fun. I've heard you talk about it. A lot of our, we've been with a lot of friends and Trey and everyone has been asking. And so I've heard you talk about it. A lot of we've been with a lot of friends and Trey and everyone has been asking. And so I've heard you say it a lot. But yeah, it just sounds awesome.

Yeah, I really can't emphasize enough like how enjoyable it was for so many reasons. So, yeah, I was up in South Dakota. I drove up there and Catherine was like, I bet that's going to be such a pretty drive. Nope, not really. Why did Catherine think that? I think she thinks that South Dakota is some magical place and it's a lot like Kansas and Iowa. I'll tell you that much. Um, I mean, it was pretty, it was, but it wasn't, she was like, maybe there's going to be like some, some mountainous areas. I was like, no, nothing like that. Yeah. I 29 through Iowa didn't have

any, didn't see much. No. Yeah. Um, but no, it was, it was great. We drove up there. I get there and I, I genuinely had never met or I had talked to the guy that invited me on the phone once, I believe. And then we had texted quite a bit back and forth, but I mean, I had no idea what I was, you know, getting myself into and kind of similar to other situations in my life, but just like a great, I don't know, just a life reminder to me and to anybody else out there listening, like how valuable it is when you, uh, find a group of people that are very welcoming, like, like, cause I just didn't know any of these people. And so many of them knew each other already, like had connections to each other. So they could have easily just been like, let's just hang out with each other. Let's let's catch up. We don't see each other very often.

And instead they were like, so good at like getting to know me, wanting to talk to me. And yeah, it was, it was just so awesome. Remind everyone again, like how you got here. Yes. That's the, that's the, such a fun thing. I'm going to take off these hunting glasses. But yeah, basically the, so the guy, Scott was his name, Scott, not Scott Sell, Scott Bass from Asheville, North Carolina. He was like, man, I listened to all these heavy, you know, like deep podcasts.

But basically, he was like, I'm just looking for something that's not, you know, is way more lighthearted than that. And so he said he just searched on podcast app one day, you know, comedy podcasts, read a bunch of them, you know, and decided to listen to ours and like got really into it and was like, you know, you're a dad, you're a father. I get that, you know, uh, would love to help you, you know, make connections and maybe you could come on this hunt. And so he called me one day and he's like, Hey, I need you to do right. I was wondering if you could make these, um, like a woodworking project, making all these different things for him. He's like, like and by the way do you want to come hunting and it was it was one of those things where like even throughout the weekend people were like i i can't why did you say yes to this yeah and it was

it was like i didn't even think that much about because you don't know anyone you don't go hunting and it's in south dakota in the winter correct yeah yeah and i was just like i think i just thought it would be a fun story and a fun experience. And how often do you get to do this kind of thing? I don't think I've ever been invited hunting in my life. And I'm like... But the people you went hunting with

were probably pretty ho-hum, right? None of them had top hits in the contemporary Christian music genre. If I did assume. I mean, yeah. You would think like... Yeah yeah so i heard like oh yeah this guy that you know is the president of compassionate international is going to be there i was like who cares you know as in do it for me oh this guy who's like the president of

the tim tebow foundation he'll be there too yeah who gives a rip yeah uh yeah and then all of a sudden we get there i mean i mean so many just guys who have done amazing ministry minded things were there. Uh, and then they're like, oh, and by the way, Stephen Curtis Chapman's coming for a day. And I was like, I there's probably not that many Stephen Curtis Chapman's in the world, but just to be sure, like the musician, the musician, the one, my, my cohost first concert, is that the same one? Is that right? Yeah. I don't remember that. In Kansas city. Oh, that's awesome. first concert. Is that the same one? Is that right? Yeah. Oh, I don't remember that. In Kansas City. Oh, that's awesome.

First concert ever. Yeah, man. So the main like leader of this thing was a friend of Stephen's from like all the, you know, 80s and 90s. He's a Christian music artist himself named Jeff Moore. Jeff with a G. Jeff with a G. He had a band called Jeff Moore in the Distance.

And apparently Jeff with a G wrote a lot of Steven with an S's songs back in the day Jeff with a G probably should have been his like band name and more people would have known about him

Jeff with a G would have been great I like that yeah and then he could tell people it's like you know the biggest G of all is God

he would do that like in between songs everyone thinks my name starts with a J but you know who else is a big J Jesus my name ends in an F

you know what's better than F well 2 for Jeff our faithful father oh okay okay my last name is Moore and you know what you can't get Moore of no wait let me start again my last name is Moore

and you know what you're all we can't get Moore of helium Let me start again. My last name is Moore. Okay. And you know what? You're all... We can't get more... Helium. No. Is that going to be the answer? No, it's going to be God. Okay.

The Heavenly Father's love. Why do you say you can't get more of... You should say grace. But you can't... Grace abounds. I know, right? Like I'm trying to think how... So...

My band's name is Jeff Moore and The in the distance and you know who went the distance for us and our sins jesus jesus christ jesus christ yeah check out our youtube video about trending youth bastards um yeah be one of the first people to watch it it wasn't really that bad no it's not that oh yeah we had so much fun with that one we were kind of bummed it didn't do greater but um no anyway the the hunt started off hot i mean yeah just so many fun people were there and people were very welcoming very kind um and from all over you know all over the united states which was cool and yeah so the first day we get you know like the first full day that we're there um hereheasant hunting is so cool. And maybe other hunters are going to like scoff at some of this,

but that's fine because I'm a hunter now. So go ahead and scoff. I'll scoff right back because we're on the same playing field. I, here's what I thought of back before I've been on this trip about hunting. I thought you have to get up really early. It's really, really cold and miserable. And you just have to sit there all day and be quiet. Yeah. Deer hunting, anything where you have to be stationary in the cold sounds really brutal. Correct. Which is why I've never had desire to hunt. And then I learned pheasant hunting is essentially the opposite of all those things. You deer hunt you. Yeah. I've never been just come right towards it. I've never been. I mean, you try to find birds in the process. Um, no,

the, like we, you know, we didn't even start going out into outside until 10 AM. And the first thing we do is shoot clays. And you kind of warm up. You do like lay up lines for hunting. Yes,

dude. No way. You shoot clays before you go out and hunt. This was you. I'm telling you, bro, you would love this whole thing. I like the idea of warming up to hunt. I can't just go out there. Cool. No way. Absolutely. I'm telling you, bro, you would love this whole thing. I like the idea of warming up to hunt.

I can't just go out there cold. No way. Absolutely. Oh, it was, that was honestly, it wasn't my favorite part, but that was such a fun joy. So the very first day it's South Dakota. I mean, in a cold snap just hit the United States, I feel like. So everything's cold, but South Dakota, no surprises, a little bit colder than everywhere else.

So I think it's like 11 degrees outside. Fair, Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit. Yes. Um, and it is, I mean, just like beautifully light flurrying outside, like kind of a gloomy day with some snow falling down. We're walking through, you know, the South Dakota fields I'm bundled up. And so I'm like warm, like it's very pleasant outside. And we get down to this like clay range and there's like five stalls. Okay. And then, you know, and so like, they're like, all right, like let's have some veterans come up and show, you know, some of these new guys, how it's done. Thank you for your service. Yeah. Stolen valor. Cause it's not those kinds of veterans. Let's have some guys who are experienced come up there and you know, they, you would love

this dude. I'm telling you like the cl clays they had probably like 10 different locations from where they could shoot these clays like they were all battery powered sounds like something on fan dual face off it was awesome you know so they'd be like all right here's the first one it's gonna go this way and then you know they say all right you know first one up and then you go pull and it would shoot off. Boom. And he nails it. Because all the experienced guys went first.

And so it's like the snow's falling down. We're cold. These guys are just nailing these clays. I mean, they probably hit 15 of them in a row before any of them missed. And it was just amazing. Wow. It was so fun. And then eventually, once you're getting a little bit more calibrated,

they do one where they shoot two clays at once. So you try to get both of them before they fall. It was like I was like, this is already so fun. That is impressive. I've shot the first gun I ever shot was clay shooting and I got it on the first one. Yeah. And I was like, this is great. And then I missed the next nine. But I got the first one of the day as well. And you know, people knew that I was a first time hunter, but I'd shot guns before and I'm somewhat athletic. So I think I could track something like that. But everyone like hooped and hollered for me. Like, and I was hooped and hollered. Yeah, there's both. I liked the idea of like, what was that? I was hooping. I was hooping. Well, somebody else hollered.

So I figured I'd take the hoop. When you said first time Hunter, that gave me an idea. What if we start doing more of like the first time golfer video, obviously from Wade swings works really well. Yeah. But like that format for other things, like first time Hunter,

first time, like road trip or first time, anything you just play this idiot character. Yeah. That could be a premise right there. Oh yeah. That's a great idea. Yeah. First time Hunter. First time Hunter. Like, like road trip or first time, anything. You just play this idiot character. Yeah. That could be a premise right there. Oh yeah. I think that's a great idea. First time Hunter.

First time Hunter. Like, yeah. Scott even was like, you guys, Scott Bass needs, you guys need to do this like a hunting video. And I was like, yeah, I'm definitely getting material for this right now. Yeah. Do you have anything you could wear though to do it? Uh, I could probably go to Goodwill or something and find something.

Good. I don't know. Good. Do you want to explain to everyone what a pheasant is? If they don't know. It's a bird in south dakota um i don't know how it's it's i just didn't even know it was a bird i think i would have thought some sort of like uh you didn't know it was a bird no oh really okay i don't know a pheasant seems more like uh what am i looking for like a vermin to me that'd be fun to hunt some vermin. I thought they were just like big, like overgrown.

Like, what is that word? It's the things, they're not squirrels, but they, people do domesticate them. They're in like little cages and boxes. Not muskrat. What are the little animals? No, no, no. People like have these as pets. They stink bad.

People don't have possums? No. Hamsters. No, they're big. They're possums? No. Hamsters. No, they're big. They're like, there's- Mole rats. Longer than a squirrel. Rachel, do you know what I'm talking about?

What's longer than a squirrel? It's like a brown pet that smells bad. It's- A ferret. Ferret! Ferret, ferret, ferret, ferret. I live with one. You live with one?

Yes, it's name is Onion. Onion? It's gross. It would nibble at your feet and poop everywhere. Nibble at your feet and poop everywhere. Okay. Well, I think because ferret and pheasant sound the same, maybe that's why I associated them. That's what you thought he was doing?

Well, I don't think he truly was. Rachel's roasting me. I didn't know that a pheasant was a bird. In Missouri, we don't have pheasants. In Kansas City, guess what? Johnson County, no one's ever like, hey, you want to... Sorry, Jake, I don't remember. Can you have pheasant?

Is it red mean? I don't know. No one talks to me about pheasant ever uh fair with the ph yeah um it is just a regular i don't know how to describe it's a bird it's like kind of like a you've seen birds like you know what a quail looks like or a dove yeah i don't know it's a small bird it's a smaller bird it's smaller than a turkey bigger bigger than a, kind of like a chicken, honestly, like kind of like a, Oh, that's bigger than a dove. Yeah. Dove was the wrong word. Quail. We'll go with quail. Okay. Anyway. Um, but you're only supposed to shoot the roosters, like the, the male versions of them. Got it. And, uh, there were a few times where some people shot the hens and people got upset. Wasn't me. Wasn't me.

No, but the strategy is so interesting. I could talk a whole episode about the hunt. The hunt. You know, so like there's like the strategy basically. Pheasants are really, really good at just hiding themselves in fields. And when they sense somebody is coming, they don't fly away away right away they want to like just run throughout the fields and so that's why the dogs themselves were like so important to have like these great hunting dogs it's truly fight or flight like a literal flight yeah and they choose run they choose a third option yeah they choose to run away from

the fight and so what happens is like you start on one edge of a field and like a bunch of people kind of form a U shape and start slowly walking through the field with these dogs like hunting and like trying to stiff them out and stuff. I would like to be next to the dogs. It's so fun when the dog comes near you because you're like, he's going to get one. And then he stops and just points at, he's like, he literally like points his nose and you're just waiting there for a second. And then he moves closer. The dog knows before you do where the pheasants are? By smell or by sight? I don't,'t probably both those dogs are amazing dude i mean we got dogs sniffing out diabetes i don't put anything past dogs anymore i mean these guys these dogs were incredible i

would like to see a dog tell me if a pheasant has diabetes that's a dog doctor yeah doctor dog just go around sniffing things like this tree's about to die you know this this needs to be one anything is stiff around like yeah yeah so so i mean these dogs like yeah and they had these collars that had uh noises on them and so like the the guides yeah yeah so they you hear this like beeping as they're like flying through the field like these dogs that way you can follow the dogs well Well, no, no, no. That way you know where, yeah, you know, like the owners will sometimes press the button and it'll make a certain noise

and that means dog, come back to me right now. You're getting too far away or something. Or if the dog stops and is in one place too long, there's a different like little tone that it makes, like a lower tone. So it's all of a sudden it's going from beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. And then all of a sudden a rooster just flies up wow everyone yells rooster rooster and then the dog goes and retrieves it and you just feel like a million bucks this is top of

the food chain type stuff right here brother is so fun like sometimes when i see like a woman like cleaning up her dog's poop in a park and i'm like, how, where have we gone as a humanity? We are no longer at the top. But when I hear about this, we got noises, callers, dogs in place, all helping us just shoot a chicken. We're not even going to eat. We do eat them eventually. Do you?

Yeah. Yeah. What'd you have for lunch today? Uh, today I had chicken, but I'll have, I'll have pheasant eventually. A rooster pheasant. Rooster pheasant. Um, but okay so anyway all these all these people you know in a u-shape are walking like from one end of the

field on the other end of field they call them blockers just people that are waiting so that if eventually you flush this pheasant all the way to the edge the pheasant's been avoiding everybody for so long oh all of a sudden they see they're like there's no way out. We got to fly. They fly up in the air. Then you just mow them down. So beaches of Normandy. Yeah. And, and so the very first, like, they're like, if you guys are first time hunters, maybe be a blocker the first time just to kind of figure out how to do everything. So I was like, okay, that's me. If anyone blocked in high school.

Yeah. If you were, if you were a tackle back in the day, um, maybe even a guard. Um, so I was blocking and I was like like it was like 10 minutes of like i'm not doing anything i'm just standing in this field oh you'll get your reward though yeah in the distance you could hear like pop pop or whatever and then all of a sudden this bird just like you hear people be like rooster rooster get it get it and you know i just turned off my safety went up there pop and i was like dang i didn't get it like i thought i thought for sure i hit it and so i you know but it flew over me and then all of a sudden it's flying for a little bit and then it just takes a nosedive pretty quick and everyone's like yeah bro oh you're like guys

no he just i i spooked him yeah yeah i think he's hiding still he's just trying to hide from us i don't know the car is making a different sound He's trying to get away from the dog. I think and apparently like You know the whole group of 15 of them like all saw me do this. I Had no idea. I thought I was like there's a bird. I'm supposed to shoot that thing right? I'm just blocking Yeah, and so people were so pumped Steven Chris Chapman called me dead-eye Danny. I was like It's a good you know tagline on a chorus, but it's not my name. It makes sense that Jeff wrote a song.

Yeah. Not the best of words. You're like, oh, OK. You know my name's Brad, right? OK, just checking. Just checking. OK. And this was apparently, I don't remember what it, like there's some traditions, the

first pheasant you kill, you're supposed to eat the heart. Not going to do that. Dead-eye dommer is what your nickname would be. But they took the blood from the pheasant and smeared it on my cheeks. How'd that feel? Pretty freaking cool. Yeah. Yeah.

They were like, are you kind of not like easily spooked by stuff? And I was like, no. Not today, Steven. All right. Then I call you. Yeah. Whatever. They give you a name.

Saddle up your horses. I actually did say that to steven kirk i'm not even joking there was one time we were like next to each other in a field and there was a pheasant that just popped up out of nowhere i mean it's crazy how well they can hide popped up out of nowhere it went over steven kirk's head he saw it he turned around which is like pretty that seems dangerous yep yeah whenever you whenever you see it you can't just like fling it around you gotta see it bring your gun back turn around so he was safe about it brought it back turn around popped it and i just go saddle up your horses steve i called him steve i don't know i don't know if it was the right move or not but i felt good about it if he's going dead eye danny for you i think you're allowed Steve for him. Yeah, you think so, right? SCC.

Yeah. Something like that. Oh man, but it was just... Settle up your horses, Steve. It was so fun, dude. The whole thing, like it's so fun to hit. Yeah, to shoot a gun and to hit birds. I don't know.

The whole thing was just really fun. Something about hitting a bird seems more humane than like taking the life of a deer or something. Yeah. Like I think birds, it's hard to tell like who's, what's the family unit here where it's like deer. You can sometimes see like, this is the mom and these are the kids. Yeah.

That gets harder. But if you don't really know, I think, I think if you see a deer, I don't know about deer. I think there's certain animals. Like if you know that it's the mom and there's babies around, you're not supposed to shoot them. Good for good for the culture. Also, somebody was telling me this weekend, like that if you shoot a it's the mom and there's babies around you're not supposed to shoot them good for good for the culture also somebody was telling me this weekend like that if you shoot a deer and you don't kill it it's like really inhumane to like let it like go around and like not die you have

to like follow it until you find it again and like get it out of its misery okay and i'm like but but you're you're you're trying to kill it the first time you know it's like it's like it's inhumane like it's like really mean to that deer. It's like, I think the meanest thing you could do that deer just kill is go hunting. Yeah. So I don't know. I don't, but that is fascinating. Yeah. It was, it was just a all around just amazing time. Um, yeah, I don't know. I, the, the, the coolest thing was that clay shooting. It was just so fun. We shot all these old guns at the end. We had a Tommy gun. I believe him.

But my Tommy gun don't. This gun is Tommy. Is Tommy. Yeah, we did. I learned a few facts for you. We used the shotgun back from the stagecoach days. Hunting fact. Hunting use the shotgun back from the stagecoach days. Ooh, hunting fact. Hunting fact about shotguns. Back in the stagecoach days, there would be somebody on the

stagecoach who would ride with the shotgun. Oh, he's the gunner. And if anybody ever would try to steal what's on the stagecoach, they would obviously defend it with the gun. And so that's where the term riding shotgun came from. Whoa. Fun fact. And so that's where the term riding shotgun came from. Whoa. Fun fact.

Fun fact. I like the idea of back in the day too. They still had, you know, certain rules of engagement in place. It was like, if someone comes and steals your stagecoach and you shoot them and you only wound them, you need to make sure you finish the job. Double tap. Is that what they say on Zombieland? Double tap. Yeah.

Yeah. And then another gun that we did was it's called a buffalo gun it was like it shot it shot and killed more buffalo than any other gun back in the days where they shot buffalo okay and and that is where we get the term airbag other car things and that is where yeah seat belt comes from that and i mean it's a long distance gun like we shot a buffalo like a target yeah it makes sense you're not 200 yards away close right yeah and also i learned sorry it's quick quick aside uh if you shot the like i don't know what the the main like leader of the herd of buffalo then all the other buffalo no matter what would just stay there like if it's kind of like

the queen bee or something oh yeah elephants kind of Elephants kind of do that too, I think. I think they're very loyal. So if you shoot one, you could kill 700 or something like that because none of them will leave. That is very queen bee energy. Yeah, that's interesting. But this gun was a, the brain was called sharp. And so that's where the term.

Sharper image. Sharpshooter comes from. Because you were shooting a sharp. And it's like a long distance gun. Sharpshooter. Sharpshooter comes from because you were shooting a sharp and you were it's like a long distance gun sharpshooter sharpshooter yep i'm sure there's more facts but those are the ones i remember and those are what i'm sticking to cool i mean it makes sense it's always fascinating to learn but it's like yeah i mean everything we say comes from something origin yeah some sort right riding shotgun riding stage coach uh-huh yeah stage coach was uh the uh the people i don't know gave up on that one pretty quick

people that helped you uh you know stage coach nah forget it never mind fun dude yeah it was fun all together awesome hanging out with steven kirk chapman and so many other good new friends yeah tell uh what was the guy's name? The ghosting Scott Bass. Oh yeah. Scott Bass. Yeah. Scott Bass. Brad is, is convincing me. I'll come. Let's bring our friends. Yeah. So Scott, if you're listening and I know you are, cause you're a loyal listener. Uh, last night we went and did a little birthday party shindig for me. And at dinner I was like, guys, it was so fun to go with people. I don't even know. I can't imagine how much fun it would be to go with all of you. And then we all got talking.

We were like, Isaac's going to shoot somebody. Harrison's going to shoot something. It's not even a pheasant. We don't see Harrison for an hour. He comes back with just like a small cow. I got him. He took every bullet, but I got him. It was funny.

Both days, you know, when we first started going, there were deer that would run like out of the field. That'd be tempting. And yeah, obviously you're not supposed to shoot those for multiple reasons. One of them being it's on the ground and you could easily shoot somebody else. But like, yeah. Can you imagine Harrison being like, whoa, a deer. Boom.

Are you shooting? Maybe this is a dumb question. Are you shooting actual bullets? Do you need a bullet to kill a bird? Are you shooting just like hard pellets? It's no, it's a shotgun. And so it shoots, you know, shotguns have like a spray to them. Gotcha.

So there's like little BBs, I think, that hit them and kill them. Oh, yeah. So wait, BBs or like bullets? Oh, I don't know. I guess. I guess it'd be shells if it was a shotgun. But it's like a legitimate gun. You're not shooting like a pellet gun.

No, no, no. OK, it's a real shotgun. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Oh, it's so cool, dude. Seems like a a lot for a bird maybe they don't go down easy though i've never messed with a pheasant i don't know pheasant messing yeah it's it's awesome i trust they got a process in place they got dogs they got colors i'm trying to think of anything else specifically that was awesome about it but it was just amazing good food good people really really good people like i can't stress enough how wonderfully welcoming everyone was but it was just amazing. Good food, good people, really, really good people. Like I can't stress enough how wonderfully welcoming everyone was. And it's just like

Christian men gathering together just pumps me up so much. Like I just, there's nothing like it. Like I felt like I was like brothers with some of these guys after two days. And it was like, you can't get that other place. Blood will do that to you. Blood on the cheeks baby yeah taking a life yeah band of brothers so um anyway i'm a hunter now that's how that's who i am through and through that's you that's you you gotta stay in that you get more i'm definitely getting taking it off okay yeah we might uh end up having an advertiser on this episode so if we do it's right now we got a sponsor this episode always fun uh it comes from a listener and a fan of the podcast i actually the person who hit me up her name is emily and the reason i know her is because i stayed uh in her basement when i was driving around in a limo

the summer of 2018 you had a nickel for every time you know so shout out emily for this up and shout out emily for working with angel Studios, who does The Chosen, the TV show. Yeah.

If you've, if you watched it, if you know it, you love it. I mean, truly, I haven't heard one person that's like, eh, it was okay. It is so well done. So captivating. It's very, very good.

I mean, it's about as south as you can go. There's ocean, right? In Corpus Christi, Texas this past weekend. Yeah, is that like real south? It's almost Mexico. I mean, it's about as south as you can go.

There's ocean, right? In Corpus Christi? Yeah, there's palm trees. Really? I loved it. Trey and Alan were kind of like, well, we're only in Corpus Christi two days. I was like, I love palm trees. You know what, guys?

I don't care where we're at. Yeah, come on. I had a good time. Yeah. Yeah. We got back into the car. Katie picked Trey and I up from the airport. And Katie's like, I wasn't.

And Trey's like, you made a good decision to stay behind. I was like, I thought it was awesome. I would spend way more time on Corpus Christi. I mean, the body of Christ compels you, right? Yeah, which is easy to think it could be corpse of Christ because Corpus, but not a conjugate, apparently. Not if you got a 34 in your ACT, my brother. That's right. But anyway, a couple of fun stories from there.

One, our opener was a little different than the people we normally open. Just objectively different. One, woman. Two, Mexican. Just kind of fun. You know, just like that's not. I think every time we get an opener, 90% of the time, it's just like a white male. So it's like, oh, this is kind of fun.

Have you had other women before, though? Once in like Bridgeport, New Jersey, I think we had a woman. New Jersey or Connecticut? Is there a Bridgeport, New Jersey for new yeah i'm getting those confused aren't i uh newport no doesn't matter somewhere in northeast i remember the exact it was vinnie brand's comedy club i remember that one alissa was our opener anyway but uh so yeah she um was that the that the story of vinnie like you don't want her she's real loud yeah she's real loud as he has hearing aids is screaming at us yeah it's a fun story anyway but this uh her name's Irma and Irma yeah which what is the latino spelling of Irma I kept that picture that's what I was picturing but I didn't know I bet I don't I'm not positive doesn't matter either way she goes up there and

does a very different brand of comedy than train i do oh like just brash yeah yeah very very yeah very shock value high yeah and it didn't go well for her uh she was pretty disappointed but she had uh you know she was excited to get back out there whatever later oh yeah because she has another show she's got four all weekend oh wow oh she's the same one yeah yeah same opener all weekend wow um and so it was kind of interesting she was yeah it was just interesting but which was it like this yeah go ahead but she was very kind to me and i tried to be really like encouraging to her because she kept saying like um you know people you know can you believe what that guy told me right after I get done bombing?

This guy has the nerve. Some guy works at the comic club has the nerve to tell me it's just not your crowd. That man, that that bleep bleeped me off. You know, I shouldn't matter crowd to crowd. I should be good no matter what. I'm just like, OK, well, I think there is value. And as I get took me a while to figure out a crowd like this. Sure.

I don't think I could go to a crowd of, you know, fill blank and just crush it proud of your people you say you say that i was like you know your types you know people in texas no i didn't say anything specific just like put your foot in your like no honestly like here here's what i'm sure you're used to like i could never do that. I don't go to the Catholic Church and just make jokes like you do. Yeah, that would be funny. I'm trying to be so encouraging and just being so disparaging. He's like, look, I think you're going to be fine.

I wouldn't expect you to be friends with any of my friends. I'm not going to be friends with any of your types. She's like, oh my gosh. No, but I'm trying to be really encouraging and after she heard my set and uh she got to know me a little bit and she had said very nice things about me and rachel and all this and so i thought we had some good rapport was rachel there no but i just yes i just told her i was very engaged told her a story whatever um anyway the night takes a turn because when she goes back so it'd been me train out of the

green room and um there's very limited seating you've been in before they're so tiny and so my chair the whole night um she had sat in totally fine happy to stand link my loops no problem you are a stander which i i always love that about you i'm a stander anyway yeah didn't matter but when i get a pizza delivered to me i'm like i want to sit down in my seat not a problem again she's gone she's up performing so i take her purse that was on her chair and i just i mean as delicately as possible i move her purse from the chair just to the ground next to the chair was it louis was it a nice person no it wasn't i didn't even recognize like the brand on it. I think it's for the most part, besides the point. And I will say just real quick, you are a delicate guy when it comes to stuff like that.

Like I, Rachel says that about me. When you said that you put it down delicately, I firmly believe that is true. Like, it's not like you're like, you know, I was kind of careful when I put it down or I didn't like throw it down on the ground. Like I guarantee you really, truly were delicately putting it down. I'm pretty sure Rachel said something like that to me like two nights ago really or something yeah i just like i feel like i move really quietly i shut everything quietly just like nothing is ever loud or aggressive yeah you're never like in a hurry anyway so i put it very delicately down

she gets uh back from off stage and uh from being on stage and she kind of looks at the purse and she goes don't you know i never put a mexican lady's purse on the ground and i didn't know if it was a joke or not and so i just kind of go like the oh i hadn't heard that one oh you're mexican oh you're a lady oh okay and so i'm just kind of like trying to read the situation i'm just like oh i hadn't heard that one and um trey and alan it kind of gets their attention and then they go back to talking and though she comes over to me takes her purse and puts it like on the armrest of the chair and kind of like aggressively whispers to me don't put my

purse on the ground again and i was like okay all right my goodness yeah no problem and you were in this tight space with her for how much longer yeah yeah i mean like the rest of the night is that was that before trey set yes so this is yeah she had yeah which is the longest part of the night yes it was like another hour together and then the whole next night so um we're kind of all hanging out uh it's like so awkward i'm like man i don't know why that was such a big deal but whatever and then at the end of the night she has to go back on stage after trade is over to be like hey um like uh you know thank you guys for coming she has to close out the night or whatever and before she goes back on stage again uh she tells me another time all right i'll see you guys in a bit i'm gonna go on and close it out hey uh jake don't put my purse

on the ground i was like okay got it did you respond that way no no no no no i was scared scared scared scared delicate and scared uh i just i think i just blankly stared because i didn't want to say anything i was just like yeah because you could have been sarcastic yeah i just kind of soft smiled and stared and um anyway i think i have like i really really offended her because then the next night she never came up to the green room the whole rest of the night and then at the end of the night of the last night um i get done with my set i'm like all right my name is jake triplet thank you guys for coming up keep that applause going irma's coming back up to the stage

she'll be hearing it keep the applause going she'll be here in a second she's quick she's quick so she's not here she'll be here soon no way there's someone kind of going like walking down the aisle i'm like i think that's her and that person was just going to the bathroom oh oh they're going to the bathroom that's all right keep on going applause going for the bathroom person needs an applause too she's hydrated and i just go like you know what we don't need her how about hey we don't need her who's excited to see trick kitty but i knew that trey wasn't expecting that so i'm trying to be so loud like that. That's right. Trey's about to come out now. Showtime.

Yeah. And it was so funny because there's a little window up to the green room that you could see from the stage. It was interesting that they built that. But anyway, as I'm like trying to be like, and here he comes, keep it going. Like he is not coming out yet. I just see like a streak of like white just go through the window of Trey just like sprinting down. And so it was fine.

But it was just like, yeah, and uh so it was fine but it was just like yeah she just didn't show up like i don't know what happened to her i didn't see her again she the rest of the night yeah just never saw her again she's bailed on the night and the only thing i could think back to is well one her comedy wasn't going well but two i put her purse on the ground way yeah like a non-name brand purse yeah i've because i've have you heard the katherine recently told me like she has a louis vuitton purse it's not even it's like a very nice knock off louis vuitton like i think i paid like 200 some dollars for this knock gotcha but like she told me one time that i forget who it was somebody in her life like it was like you never

put louis vuitton on the ground or something like that really but like i had never heard that i didn't know that like you know putting a purse on the especially when it's not like a super dingy place right like was it like a nasty hardwood flooring room yeah no it was a black purse black flooring don't think he would have like no i don't know yeah just that's it was interesting i've never heard it be like a racial stereotype of like mexican women really hate it yeah it wasn't like don't you know not to put a gucci purse on? It was like, it's not about the purse. It's about me. Oh, okay. Yeah. She just bailed. Yeah. It was fascinating. It was really interesting. Did you get any insight from Trey or anything like that about it? I don't, we haven't heard anything. Okay. And normally I

wouldn't love to like dox anyone like that, but I feel like she didn't treat us well. So it's okay to say this story objectively on a podcast man well okay the rest of the weekend tell me tell me oh it's great we got to golf i played well there were palm trees um comedy wise comedy wise went great um i didn't try out a ton of new stuff it was more just trying to like dial in and just focus on what i already have and love it because i really want to do well in des moines yeah you're going to be there we're doing seven sold out shows in des moines my parents rachel's whole family isaac thinks he's going to drive up and come to it like it's just going to be so sisters and brother-in-laws yeah it's gonna be fun catherine ellis oh yeah awesome so i i know the shows are going to be are going

to go well but i'm just trying to like make it as good as i can and hopefully focus on it the next few weeks or so and dude you did so well i can't say that one time thanks yeah you nailed it it was so fun so thanks yeah i'm excited to keep it going so thank you the shows were were awesome it was fun to be back out there and just pop into corpus christi for just four shows in two nights it's too bad you were in corpus christi though like you would rather been to like south padre island or you, Galveston or something like that. It was great. I have a friend who one of the guys I went to New Zealand with, he lived in Corpus Christi straight out of college.

And so I texted him and I was just like, what do you know about Corpus Christi? He doesn't live there anymore, but he gave me a massive I need to send him a follow up voicemail voice memo, but a very thorough list of everything Corpus Christi had. And I ended up getting to use a lot of it because I did some joke. I was like, you know, Corpus Christi, so excited to see, you know, double-decker Whataburger. And they went nuts. And I was like, you guys are very proud of what you have here in Corpus Christi. And so then I kept trying to think back to Carter's list. And I was just like, what else did he say on there?

And so then next I was like, and of course, the largest aquarium in Texas. They go nuts. Hoop and holler. And then I was like, and of course the largest aquarium in Texas. Hoop and holler. And then I was like, and of course the Selena statue. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Way better than Irma. Am I right?

And then I said, uh, of course, uh, the hooks games. Oh, you got me. And then I was like, all right, one more, one more. I was like, I can't remember anything else. Republicans. And they were like, oh yeah. Cause that's one thing Carter had texted me too. He's like, it's an oil and gas town.

So he's like, it leans pretty far. Right. Yeah. So I just went for that and they went nuts. I like started a rally in Corpus Christi. So yeah, actually I think Carter listens to the podcast. I'm not'm not gonna send him a voice memo carter there's your voice memo you helped immensely i got to use every single thing you wrote down for me thanks kata kata that's so fun yeah it's because corpus christi is like one of those places that since it doesn't have like a pro sports team or something you don't know the personality unless

you're from somewhere like that right like yeah know, like when you watch a football game, they usually show you like a B roll of some famous, you know, steakhouse or something in the city. And so you're like, okay, I know that place has a steakhouse, but like, you don't know anything like that for Corpus Christi. So I'm sure anything that you even like somewhat recognized for these people, they just, yeah, obviously ate it up. That makes sense. Like, yeah, heck yeah. This guy knows, this guy's one of us. And now that you about i need to really get some intel from rachel for des moines yes dude i'll let i'll give you some too please yeah give me the b you get some leftovers yeah some crumbs uh but yeah so that was i just i just take like everything you learn

like yeah beforehand i don't even make jokes about it i'm just like des moines you know okay yeah you just start listing all the capital city right yeah yeah okay that's it i don't know what else we don't have to list yeah no no yeah we'll get there so um yeah anyway that's that's fun times dude yeah thanks it's fun fun again to perform good um i have kind of had a little bit of a sour time the last since being back from the hunt because my kids are so sick and coincidence maybe they missed their dad that's their sickness i think like the worst night was when my birthday so and katherine like she's like we like set up a time for them to facetime me and it looked like they were like just woken up from like a you know 16 hour slumber they were

like happy birthday dad you know like the dead in the eyes kind of look and i was like oh and katherine was like putting on a brave face the whole time but i could tell like she had had a hard time luckily my my mother-in-law was there for most of the time i was good good good um yeah it's just another another just reminder of like, when people are sick, it is so like, it's one of those things you just take for granted until you're not sick anymore, until you're not healthy anymore. And just all of a sudden it's like, this is the most inconvenient thing. You know, when your kids are sick, you're just like, you feel incapacitated. Like you're like, I don't, all my plans today have just been foiled because of this. Like, it's just hard. I don't, there's not much of a comedy aspect of this besides just like, yeah, I just felt bad.

You feel bad, especially when it's your kids. There's nothing they can do, really. Hattie, I guess this is kind of comedic or whatever. She just claims that she can blow her nose herself, but that she doesn't want to. And so last night, she and I, Catherine slept downstairs, and Hattie and I slept in our bed, and she probably woke me up 15 times to blow her nose. For you to blow it? Yeah. And so I

literally like get up, like put my two fingers on both sides of her nose and then she would just blow. And it was just like, what are we doing here? Blowing someone's nose feels a lot like tying someone else's shoes. It's like, I know how to do it when it's from my point of view. I don't know how to blow your nose. Yeah. I don't know where to put my fingers. Right. I don't know what, what about it is like hard for her. She doesn't like it or something. I wonder if it feels weird in her ears.

I don't know, but she's still blowing her nose. Like she's still doing, I'm just holding the Kleenex. That's true. Maybe it's gross. Yeah. I think part of it is that I think a few times she got kind of scarred by like blowing her nose and not doing enough, good enough job of like sealing it off. And so like, then I think the snot would like get on her mouth a little bit or something. Um, but man, she hates that so much. And so I'm like, but, but it's hard. Cause

you don't know how much like grace versus parenting, like sternness you should give. Cause it's like, Oh, like in a normal day when you're feeling fine, I'm going to be like, sorry, how do you blow your nose yourself? Or yeah. Go to the porch and blow a snot rocket. Figure it out. Like, but when it's, when they're already sick, when they're already sleep deprived, it's like, do I really want to pick this battle? You know, like today, Bo was like, I don't want to eat my eggs. And I was like, I'll eat the eggs. Yeah, dude, give me those eggs. I'll take your eggs. You know, it's just so hard. It's really hard for Catherine. Catherine's way more like the stern one in the parenting relationship. Like I'm, I'm such a pushover.

Yeah. I'll be like, okay, you don't really want to do that. It's fine, buddy. Like Catherine's like, no, they're, they're doing this. I'll eat the eggs. I'll blow your nose. I'll blow my nose. I'll blow my nose. Yeah. Oh dude. Uh, I think we've talked, we've definitely talked about the, uh, Wendy before. Yeah. But I think I have, I also told you about the nose Frida. Don't know about Narita. Dude, this one is a lot more common than the Wendy before. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think, have I also told you about the nose Frida? Don't know about Nerida. Dude, this one is a lot more common than the Wendy and it is borderline torturous on children. Is this the thing like from Patch Adams,

like the little red ball thing? It's, I think like the next iteration of that. That's for like babies. This is as well, or it can be. So it's like you literally, like we call it a snot sucker. Like literally that's what it is. Sharpshooter. I mean, it's as well, or it can be. Um, so it's like you literally, it's like, we call it a snot sucker. Like literally that's what it is. Sharpshooter. I mean, it's like a, yeah, it's a sharpshooter for nostrils. I mean, it has like this little thing. What's up Scotty boy.

Come on in Scotty. You know about the nose Frida. Yes. All right. Come on in. Let's talk about it. So it's, it's, it's basically like a siphon like a gas siphon i think we maybe have but like we we shove it up their nostril it's it's for kids who can't blow their nose yet so we shove it up bo's nostril and then like katherine just sucks out and it makes it like it's like made to where it cannot get back into your mouth, obviously. She sucks out bow snot. Snucks it out. Sucks it out. Yeah, I feel like we have talked about this before, but I'm still shocked.

I mean, I take one of my paws and just grab both of his arms with it and kind of just shove him down on his body. And then the other one, I'm holding his neck and he's flailing around crying, screaming, and Catherine's just like... Borderline one i'm like holding his neck and he's like flailing around crying screaming and katherine's

just like borderline one of my one of my least favorite moments as a parent is having to do that it's so it's so sad because i've been in both positions i've done this the sucking of the snot and i've also done the restraining of yeah arms and legs i try to i try to make it as like uh you know carefree as possible like hey buddy you got it buddy yeah buddy and legs i try to i try to make it as like uh you know carefree as possible like hey buddy you got it buddy yeah buddy and then eventually i'll have to be like all right catherine i think that i think we got it i think we got it you know but catherine's like well if we don't do it well enough we need to do it more often and i'm like okay then let's do it one more suck that thing oh it's so sad though man and like he'll see us like walking over with it and he'll be like no no no no no

just imagine bo doing his little run yeah yeah bo came over today we had a little uh cameo from bo yeah i got to play with bo that was pretty fun the whole family came over oh that's fun closet sit we'll get there eventually scotty yeah your your mic's not set up yet so it's got big news. I think we're going to get you a mic, a nice mic soon, and maybe a camera. Maybe a camera. Scott's popping and locking

over there in the door. I like the idea of Scott being in the corner. Maybe even shut the door. If he does something wrong, we shut the door on him. If you get less than 10% of the s'mores vote, next episode in the closet with the door shut. There you go.

Sure. If you want to. Launcher should be out there somewhere. Anyway, nothing too crazy about the sick kids. Just if you know anybody that's sick, do something about it. Do something. I know that's like such a...

Somebody do something about it. Do something. I know that's like such a. Somebody do something. Somebody help. I think, I mean, there's such like a micro to macro thing. It's like, yeah, there's lots of sick kids in this world that, you know, I don't know. But it's like, obviously an immediate family. If you see somebody that you hear they're sick, especially if they have kids, do something. I don't know. But then I'm thinking like, okay, there are kids out there that are sick every day and I'm not the, whatever.

Hanging out with Compassion International presidents too much, man. I tell you. That's pretty funny. Anyway, that's your, your thing for the next two weeks. Every time you just have this caringness for the sick. Sorry. I was just hanging out with that. Do you know John? He's the CEO of Compassion International. He has no West Stafford. Yeah. Dude, speaking of being sick that reminded me i think i've talked about before in the podcast that i occasionally will kind of get these dare i say suffer from these high altitude migraines and it hasn't happened in a really long time and it happened it was i had a brutal episode of it on the flight into corpus christi no way and so i was

like i'm gonna like google this i feel like it's been a while since this happened let me just see if there's scott's in the closet let me just confirm what i think is happening again because it's been so long and on one end it was kind of fun like how often do you google something and you find exactly what you were like looking for someone had recently done a study on this exact thing and it often happens in a comedian yeah well they took like a thousand people who like basically like are able-bodied healthy adults who fly often and like know what a headache feels like. It was like the study and only two out of the thousand people get these because I thought it was like pretty rare. Like, oh, yeah, if you're having like sinus issues, yeah, you could probably get a headache in the sky.

You're going up 30,000 feet, whatever. This is more rare. But yeah, it's so great to find a study that someone had just done on it and basically as you go from high altitude to low altitude as you're descending is when like your sinuses can like really just like flare up they become very like inflamed enlarged okay and the article describes it as like very sharp intense pain and i would say bingo okay so yeah and it it was like since this was the worst one ever it was sensitive to even touch like my eyebrow area like the front of like my nose and my eyes it hurt to touch because normally i'll just kind of rub on it it's just miserable until you land and this time was like oh that one was a brutal one anyway i say all this to say it did offer some like solutions it was like you can take

um some sort of sodium whatever thing is like or you can just take a nasal decongestant and i was like cool never taken that i'll do anything to help this not rather than a scent you're like yeah this reminds me perfectly using the windy yeah you're opposite of snot sucking you're sucking his own snot i'm asking like the woman next to me hey scott you know the microphone's not plugged in oh oh oh good for you got him so i got never used a think pad pranked anyway so i get this first place i stop in at the airport they had nasal decongestant which this whole thing had been advertised to me as nasal spray that's what i thought it was it told

me to take it whenever like when you first land on the aircraft or sorry when you first like get on like before you really take off that's the best time to take it and so i was like great and so i'm sitting there it's a tiny little airplane so there's only like the left side of the plane only has one row of seating and i'm in the solo row and the other side of the airplane has two so it's a very small plane you can't even stand up upright so it's very cramped i feel like everyone is watching me that's like my grand city like that that opportunity right there a small plane i feel like everyone is watching me that's like migraine city like that that opportunity right there like a small plane i feel like is like more likely to have something just more higher pressure yeah anyway i felt the pressure to like well first do like an unboxing in front of everyone it's like all right let's get the nasal spray out or whatever you had you had an

unbox and then dude just like having to like i'm like reading the back of it just like what is going on here and i could be like everyone is just already looking at me like this idiot doesn't have nasal spray works and to top it off i don't really know how to use it so i'm just like keeping it upright and just like is it a squeezer or is it like a push down of a it was a squeezer it was just like eye drops or any like liquid container there was a there was a hose in it you know kind of thing oh i know that because i accidentally took i couldn't figure out the lid dude it took me so long and then i opened it all the way up. I was like, oh, that's too far.

I did finally figure it out. And so I'm holding it upright. So I'm still standing up. And so I'm asking it to be shot up into me. I thought that's not too much to ask. It's nasal spray. Yeah. Nothing's going out.

So I'm like, maybe I need to like tilt back. And so dude, I tilt back and I squirt that thing. And I felt it hit the back of my head. It was a reverse bidet. It was going from top to bottom. No way. And I feel like it clanked off the back of my head and shot back out of my nose. Because it basically, I do this and I'm like, whoa.

I shoot forward and just all this nasal spray just is in my lap all of a sudden. No way. It like literally did come out. It really did like all come out. So I was like, whew, I had to like shake it off. Yeah, you were like, yeah, just like the involuntary shakes. You know when you like kind of land on your tailbone and it kind of like stings your whole body?

Yeah, it was like that of the nose. You just shot up. Yeah, it just stung me. Oh, my man. I was picturing you doing like what lloyd does with his breath spray on dumb and dumber which is just like somebody's sitting next to you and you like squirt the nasal spray i just missed my nose yeah just shot them and so i'm like okay this is not much of a spray this is just like a a power washer basically now i know um is that okay i mean the one i got

was it says spray but it is just a hose and so like, all right, we'll do a little less this time. And so I get it better the next time I spray it, which it was fascinating because all I'm doing is it's going through my nose, but I could taste it, which makes sense. They're all connected, but still fascinating. Yeah. It's like, I didn't put anything in my mouth. And so I get it, but still it's like, okay, I think it's like all in there. And then like, I'm like, I guess I'll like be done now.

And then it still comes out of my nose again. I'm like, how do I get it? Probably suck it in. it in i'm just like yes that's what i had to do i was like squirt and then like like i'm doing this word of like cocaine yeah right you're in the row with only one person in it so like there's no one to shield you there's no one to block you yeah it's just like they got a you know it was like i'm at a small urinal and everyone just looks down on me oh and they see it they see my little sprayer um jake's doing lines of nasal spray on his tray table well dude i don't know how long this thing was supposed to last you but i was all out after like one like thing of it just because i kept wasting so much so but also i might not have wasted it because the second part of the story is that dude i, I don't know. So here's the pro.

I did not get any kind of headache or migraine the next flight. Everything was good. Con, I was miserable to be around for I ended up counting it five hours. So basically what this did is it just opened the floodgates. Dude, I was so snotty. It was unbelievable. I mean, snot is just running down my back. I couldn't fall asleep because it was just like I constantly had snotty. It was, it was unbelievable. I mean, snot is just running down my bed. I couldn't fall asleep because it was just like, I constantly had to sniffle.

And you had somebody else probably help you hold the Kleenex, right? Dude, it was unbelievable. I don't know if I OD'd on nasal spray or if that's just what you should do, but if that's how it is, next time I'm congested, I'm going to go to town. I mean, I've never had anything clear me out that way. I was like, I may not even need to go to the bathroom. Like there is nothing left in me. That is all the liquid. The amount of snot that came out of me. Oh, it was unbelievable. How many percent of your body is water? It's all out. It's less. Yeah. Well, I think, yeah, you definitely sounded like you might've OD'd at some, A, because the bottle was out, but you said you lost a lot of it. But did, if you read all the back, a lot of those nasal sprays are like, do not use these for more than two days in a row because

it's like addicting to your like body or something. Okay. I only used it just the one time. I didn't use it for the flight home. You didn't know that? I didn't know that. No, I think it's like certain ones, like certain, you can definitely have some sprays that people use every day for allergies and stuff, but other ones like decongestant ones, I are like don't use that too much so yeah good thing you're not flying you know every day or anything yeah so it almost sounds like a portable neti pot you guys heard of the neti oh yeah every time i've ever used one of those it doesn't spray like super strongly that's so interesting you gotta lay back i wonder if you change like the the setting on the you know how like you can like you know when you have a spray bottle yeah you can

like make it really yeah like a water hose like you can like, you know, you have a spray bottle Yeah, you could like make it really Shower jet. Yeah Like when you were messing with it like screwing it on and off and everything, I don't know dude It was just went from mist to power wash. Yeah, it's very interesting. It was a small little bottle So it's easy like one press of the thumb was like full pressure. Oh, yeah, like a travel size or something Yeah, it was travel size. Okay. I don't feel as bad about you like using the whole thing I was like, I don't know about this. Anyway, it was just a travel size or something. Yeah, it was travel size. Okay, now I don't feel as bad about you like using the whole thing. I was like, dude, I don't know about this. Anyway, it was just a wild time

using like nasal spray for the first time. I just felt like so dumb, but also like, wow, it worked. I didn't have the migraine, but at what cost? Because I was just, I sniffled like the dickens all day. Yeah, man.

Sniffled like the dickens. That's good. Yeah, I really don't have much else written down this week. We did go have a birthday party for me last night. It was my birthday on Sunday. Thank you for all. There were so many kind ghosties out there that wished me happy birthday,

including one Facebook user who made an account called Santo Mac. I think he just made an account to wish you happy birthday. Yeah, it was very awesome. They had a montage, like a little collage of pictures of me and everything. So that was cool. Kind ghosties. Imagine that. Can you imagine it?

It's crazy. Have the ghosties done anything for you this week yet, Scott? Oh, have they ever ghosties are, they're doing, they're doing their thing, man.

On like what? Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.com. Peck family. Yeah. No, uh,

I was, yeah, I was going to mention this later, but yeah, thank you. Ghosties we've uh yeah we've seen a lot of you flooding in to follow the peck family pickleball page it's been so fun there's a lot of fun stuff coming down yeah we've uh it's been really exciting actually we've partnered with a couple

brands already like our the brand of paddle that we use go ahead and say make it make it look easy diadem diadem i'm sure you know yeah diadem i'm a big diet and then caged supplements we're we're an ambassador for cage supplements so we get like a little discount code we share with people and sure all the all the fun things that's awesome man yeah if you haven't followed yet peck family pick up last night, you know, we were at Topgolf and he was just like,

he pulled up his Instagram. He's like, I mean, look at all these people. They're all ghosties who have followed me. Thank you guys. It was like,

it was a couple finger flicks of followers. He was not going slow. One of them last night was also me. I realized like, everyone keeps talking or like you would be like,

yeah, I saw that post and Rachel's like, yeah, I saw that. I'm like, how am I not seeing these? And i realized i wasn't following it so that's why i wasn't seeing now you're in yeah now i'm following now i'm gonna start seeing yeah he's

a pfp yes um yeah anyway birthday party last night was great i don't know everything was fun about it we all decided to bet on the ku basketball basketball game together. Yeah. And that was electric came down to the wire and we won, we won the, yeah, we won most of our bets. One more. It was fun. It was great. And, um, nothing, nothing but positive things to say. I don't think if we did anything like hilariously crazy or anything like that, we just had fun. What about dumping a bag of golf clubs? Oh my gosh. Selective memory. Oh yeah.

Okay. Glad Scott was here. That's fair, Scotty. Yeah. I'm sure there's something really embarrassing like this to happen. The hunting trip too. I just forgot.

No, no, it was pretty. No, I didn't shoot one of the dogs. All the dogs. That was a rooster. They were calling him buster. Oh,

okay. Yeah. Okay. So at Topgolf, like they do provide you with clubs, but if you're left-handed like me, you have to ask for them at the front desk. So I was like, Hey ma'am, can I please have some left-handed clubs? She brings them to me and we're all walking up to the upstairs where our bay is, uh, to go play. And like I said, I'm not a, not a golfer. I don't play golf enough. Um, but I've noticed anytime I have played golf, it's very awkward the way you have to carry your bag. You haven't found the...

No, I haven't. But I've noticed that I was like, oh, but I've seen like some people carry their bag, you know, where the clubs are like in front of their body rather than behind, which is behind seems more intuitive to me. But front looks cool. I think everyone carries them in the front no not everyone well i don't know somebody last night wasn't i don't remember who maybe it was i don't remember who it was uh but you had yours in the front and i was like that looks very cool jake looks cool and so i i fling i fling it on my shoulder and like kind of kind of it's it's it's it's in my it's's, it's going forward. And it just, luckily,

I don't think any of you saw it, but like, we heard it. Yeah, definitely heard it. I saw the back half, you know, you see like, like, like all of a sudden it's like, you know, like sometimes when you're like slip, like you slip on ice and you're like, I'm going to fall right now. I'm going to try to, I'm going to try to keep myself up. And then it's all of a sudden just like, nope, just fall. I'm going down. Uh, it was one of those kind of moments where it was just like, oh, this is kind of tilted. Nope, they're gone. They're gone. And all of a sudden.

Every golf club. Every single club. I mean, it just absolutely tips over. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. On these like metal stairs. Jake and I were at the top of the stairs. And yeah, it was funny because the bag tips over and there's like an initial flurry of like four clubs at once. And then it was more

of like a drip it was like and then after a bunch of them fell i just kind of i just kind of decided i was gonna make it funny and just like literally just like throw the bag off of me and be like i don't know it was so funny because you're just standing there with a bag of zero clubs and harrison is like scrambling around like trying to like recover them all up and like carried them up. Like so I only had like two clubs in my actual bag when I was actually walking up there. So anyway, if anybody wants to teach me how to hold a golf bag, that'd be awesome. I'm convinced that you're supposed to hold that bag backwards. I bet there's a way we could teach you to hold golf clubs.

You're probably right. With the clubs in front. Anyway. Yeah, that was a good time. Thanks Scott for reminding me about that. Speaking of Harrison, he is getting married this weekend. Yeah.

He has been married by the time you're listening to this. Wow. Shout out Harrison. Assuming everything goes through. As long as no one objects. Also speaking of my roommates here a few nights ago, I think it was the night I got back from, yeah,

the night I got back from Corpus Christi, I come back to the promise house. Rachel has a Christmas tree up for me. how fun is that great surprise 10 out of 10 decoration wonderfully decorated christmas yeah then i go to the aletha house and um i get into the living room there and isaac and spencer have not only cleaned the whole house but have gone gangbusters with christmas decor they went on like a blow-up snoopy a blow-up santa they went the blow- route, huh? Yeah, they've got stockings hung.

They got the fire on. They got garland. They got a wreath. They have a Christmas tree up. They have lights, everything. There's like a new like end table for our soundbar. Isaac was even just like made something like that for us. And then, yeah, so it was awesome.

There's Christmas, or sorry, there's presents under the tree. It looked awesome. So I'm like, you guys, this is so cool. This is the coolest thing. We're talking for a little bit. And. It looked awesome. So I'm like, you guys, this is so cool. This is the coolest thing. We're talking for a little bit. And then at a certain point, I was like, hey, did I get like a big package?

Because with Mood Swings, we signed like a apparel deal with Bad Birdie. And so they were going to send us, I mean, just their entire warehouse, basically of clothing. They wanted us to have it all. So I was so excited i'm so excited to get uh all this golf gear and so i was like hey did you guys see like a big like bad birdie box and isaac goes check under the tree i don't know and he's just like staring at

the tree oh it was so awesome it was already so cool and then to find out that uh yeah they had wrapped this big box of like just golf gear for me. So then I just like opened it. It was awesome. And then I was like, what are the other presents? And like other boxes you got. I was like, sweet.

That's awesome. They were all like, yeah. But I wanted to, the other roommates hadn't seen it yet. So I left those two presents there. I wanted them to see the full effect. So I still haven't even opened those. I don't even know what's in them. That's so, that's like vintage Isaac right there.

Yeah, it was awesome. Wow. Just a good crew. That is. Good roommates. What's Rachel going to do for you? You know, is she going to be that fun? Well, she got a Christmas tree too.

Yeah, just the tree though. I didn't see any blowups. Are these blowups outside or inside? Just in the living room. How big are these blowups? Not that big. Okay. I'd say Snoopy is the size of a like German shepherd.

Okay. No, nothing, nothing pheasant size. No. shepherd. Okay. Nothing pheasant-sized? No. Okay. No. Scott, if you had to guess, would you say pheasants are birds or varmints? I would say birds. Yes.

Fowl. Very good. Yeah. Very good. Yep. Okay. Jake now says that. Oh, did you think they were varmints?

I don't know. I don't know. I know they're birds now. Yes. Birds of prey um scott you got anything there's jake got anything else some more it up you got anything scotty scott's checking his notes taking forever check the notes i got some ghosty shout outs at the end this is uh scott's in the closet yeah yeah sorry rachel's came in scott snuck in without

rachel saying i guess scott's here i'm very sneaky sir one thing i've had in my notes for like a month now and haven't told you there's a guy running for or maybe the elections ended but the guy running for presiding commissioner in like black count yeah scott fricker yeah there were some great names in missouri whenever we go to the studio house in gladstone we would see scott fricker every time i'd be like scott fricker yeah yeah i just i saw that and i was like wow brad would really appreciate that i want to fricker i'll fricker do you win i have no clue good frickers always win the only thing i had was just uh talking about palmer's birthday party oh yeah yeah it was a you know i've talked to you

guys about it a little bit but it was as far as like kids birthday parties goes. It was pretty sweet. I mean, it was it was a lot to host in our house, but it was a blast. We so Sam found this company that like rents teepees for sleepovers. Teepees for sleepies. Yep. Teepees for sleepies.

What is actually called? Because that's a better name than what this one is called. They were called like happy campers or something. Ohies yep tps for sleepies what is actually called because that's a better name than whatever this one is called they were called like happy campers or something oh okay pretty good pretty good tps for sleepies though yeah but palmer loves sleepovers and so she wants you that's what she said she wanted to do and then sam found this tp company which one happy campers okay yeah i heard of them yeah free advertising for them i guess uh but it was really cool because like they we had to go pick up all the stuff and then set up all the teepees. And each girl got like an individual bed, had a teepee with like lights and like all these decorations.

And Sam got them all sorts of little party favors and like a pajama dress and all these different things. And wow, like the the setup of it looked immaculate. It looks so cool and uh the one of the things that that i got a kick out of was uh brie dowd posted something on her instagram and somebody like commented and was like that looks like a kardashian birthday party and i was like i don't know how i feel about that i was like i don't know if that's we went a little too bougie that's a great backhanded compliment like yeah i was, I don't know that I want to be compared. This is so nice.

It looks like one of the Clintons' birthdays. That's like presidential status in 1996. Thank you. Hey, your daughter's birthday party looks very polarizing. But no, it was a really cool setup. We have a little gym space in our basement. We turned that into into a dance party. And so it literally looked like a nightclub up there.

Did you play some EDM? What? You play some EDM? No, we let Palmer pick the playlist. She's really into the Macarena right now. Oh, nice. So we let off with that. That's fun.

I would have some Pocahontas remixes for sure in the teeps. We had glow sticks and all sorts of like glow in the dark decorations and light up balloons. And it was pitch black in there. So it was like, I feel like I was back at Club Live in Miami. Oh, yeah, sure. One of your favorite places. Yeah, but it was a really fun party. My biggest regret is not telling Palmer that that was her actual birthday because now i had we've had to

explain to her for several days that her actual birthday is on a different day and we will not be hosting that big of a party on her actual birthday yeah so she's expecting everybody to come back and us to run that whole party yeah you either have to do it after like after her birthday or yeah on her birthday i think yeah we really just from the beginning we should have just said yep saturday's your birthday yeah happy birthday change it every year whatever fits your schedule is when her birthday is uh april 16th looks nice yeah palmer's birthday it was cold last year your birthday is falling on a saturday every year i like it but yeah it was a it was a fun party Sam did a really really good job with

all the decorations and everything so it was fun we missed Hattie we had some some sick Ellis's yeah man Hattie was on the invite list well Catherine said I told you this last night but Catherine's like honestly it's probably a good thing how you didn't go because they weren't gonna spend the night and she's like she would have made me spend the night you know like there's no way we could have left yeah the peck house has never slept so many guests as that night we had a lot of a lot of folks at the house it's crazy man cool you want to do s'mores and then uh yeah for now cool which what is the final tally that's what i was just checking it's hard for me this is the closest one yet i mean every day i checked brad and i were within five votes of each other scott peckleball made a fourth quarter comeback what uh no you you did

make a comeback um but not it was very tight 131 votes for brad 128 votes for jake three votes wow as of the time of recording this 112 votes for scott including Including Scott Bass. Scott Bass voted for you. Let's go, Scott Bass. Come on, Scott Bass. Scots get each other's backs. Each other's bass. I got your bass, you got my bass. I couldn't even get my wife to vote for me. Well, have better answers. Exactly.

I think if anything, that's a testament to her integrity. Like, she's not a favoritism kind of person. Okay. Wow. lost by three yeah three votes two percent three votes one every vote easily the closest one easily yeah i mean by the time you're reading this or listening to this the poll might have changed um still counting yeah exactly we'll count them for a while but um okay so i get to choose the order and i get to choose the uh topic this week.

And we're doing the s'mores, the Mount Rushmore of office characters. I thought you were about to sneeze. You were just yawning. I was just shocked. No. Office characters? We weren't planning on this. So I think I'm going to go.

I'm going to go with the order of, I'm just going to keep the same order we've been doing. Scott, Jake, Brad, we'll keep going. I'll trade you my second for your fourth. Really?

Interesting strategy. I don't know. Jake's trying to clear cap space. I like the idea of like a trading, like a trading a future Schmores pick. If you give me the first round of today, I'll give you first round next week. That's pretty fun.

Okay. So just the office, you know, is one of our favorite shows in the world, all of ours. And so we're doing a Schmores. Schmores about him. So Scott, go ahead.

Well, I think, I don't think there's any way to kick off the office character Schmores than by picking Michael Gary Scott. Yeah. One of the most iconic characters in all of TV history. Some of literally the greatest one-liners of all time. I probably use a Michael Scott gif every single day.

Really? Oh, yeah. you have a go to um i love yes i like that thank you yeah i like that one what about the one that just goes no overdone overdone i don't use that one overdone because it's so good i use uh i use yes i use the thank you one. And then I use the one where he's, he's in counseling with Toby and he just looks like he just has that blank stare.

I use the one a lot where he like, is like, I think it's whenever he hears Pam having the baby and he's just like, you know, that one, like, he's just like really happy, like shocked.

When I got engaged, Joel Hardy sent me the gif of michael tackling jim when he learns that they're engaged yeah to be married yeah i just and i love going back and watching old episodes and just some of michael's my favorite my favorite quotes of michael's are the ones that are like unintentional like comedy like i'm trying to think of a good example like the other day i was watching the one where he's uh him and dwight are plotting his like fake suicide you know where he's trying to jump off the building and earlier in this in the in the episode he thinks that warehouse worker's name is pudge she's like no it's it's madge but then like later in the episode he tells dwight

he's like i don't know go have padge do badge or like just his what is the word like what he says like incalculable yeah that's like stuff like that flight airs yeah like just slight slight misspoke words and things like that those are some of my favorite Michael Scott quotes dude I laughed hard out loud at our own podcast last week listening back to it when Justin put in that soundbite of Evan Baxter from Bruce Almighty. Oh, yeah. I laughed out loud so hard and I went back and listened to it again. I had never.

I mean, just so funny, dude. Because it's funny. But then he went on and did it for another like four seconds longer than you think he's going to it's Cracked. Yeah, can we put it again? Is that okay? Sure. All right, Justin, please put it again Great first pick Scott. Thank you. We all saw it coming and that's why you should. That's why he's the number one draft pick. Scott was going to be like, you know, I'm a big Dumb and Dumber fan. So I'm going to pick Jim Carrey's cameo. One, one.

Yep. Cider donut pick. Yeah. My first pick is going to be Dwight. I think he is a fascinating character. I don't know why we, you know, we may not need to even talk about our picks. You guys know Dwight, you know, it's just like, he is a fascinating character i don't know why we you know we may not need to even talk about our picks you guys know dwight you know it's just like he is amazing he had so much like comedic elements to the show and it just definitely definitely would not be the same

without dwight it's fun to think about like um the dwights you see in real life i remember i've like worked with a few dwights and it makes it more fun to like have that job when you see them as a dwight rather than like this annoying person yeah it's like i can have fun with this person you kind of sympathize with them to an extent yeah i once i started working like having a real job that's when the office really took a next level for me like it was like oh man like i get like there are these characters in real conference or meetings and yes yeah uh okay all right i'll i'll go ahead this is why i wanted the third pick is because i really like this as a tandem we got jim halpern pam beasley yeah pam beasley halpern really oh my gosh yes pam beasley beasley yeah okay beasley uh oh yeah I think in so many ways, the show almost revolves around her.

No. Yeah. Think about it. No way. Think about it. Go on. Explain your case. The show does not revolve around Pam.

Well, yeah. There's a couple episodes that do. I think it's... Explain your case. Yeah. Okay. No. My synapses are not firing as well as they should be today.

But I know that I'm right. I know that... This is a take I've never heard from anyone. case yeah okay now i'm like my synapses are not firing as well as they should be today but i i know i know that i'm right i know that this is a take i've never heard from really this show revolves around pam revolves might not be the right word but i think she's like like ultimately like the most important character how about that oh still disagree i think she's the glue that holds everything together yes take pam out of the equation. What happens? Take Michael out of the equation and look what happened. Yeah. The show ended.

Yes. Okay. Okay. But like Pam was the glue. Like Jim and Jim and Dwight would not be friends at the end of the, in the series without Pam, Jim and Pam would not be married without Pam. I'm pretty sure.

Michael, Michael would not like have found the most lovable characteristics of himself without Pam. Pam. I don't know how you can know that. Oh, I can't. Jim and Dwight wouldn't be friends without Pam. No way. I think that's definitely possible. No way. Scott. I think Michael can be lovable without Pam. No way. Totally. Pam has a ton of great qualities. She's still great. Revolves. But the show does not revolve around her. I'm a hunter.

I'm going to say Pam's my revolver. All right. The show could definitely go on without Pam. Okay. It's a great, the love story of the first four seasons is great. It is awesome. Yeah.

Couldn't do that without Pam. But I don't know if it's because of Pam's character. I think it's because everyone loves Jim so much that they love seeing him hopefully get the girl. Insert whoever as the girl. They want Jim to get the girl. Karen Afilipelli. No one liked Karen Afilipelli. Oh, I didn't mind

Karen. Karen Afilipelli. Have you seen her from behind? Pam or Karen from behind? That's so funny funny kevin standing behind karen i forget what he says but he basically like validates it while standing behind her really yeah he's just like totally or something like that oh i think he just goes i don't think or i guess not oh yeah yeah he's like did he not see karen from behind i'm guessing not that's what he says all right those are my answers so you're like

you wouldn't have even picked Pam with your she's not on my list not on your list? she's not on my list oh my goodness wow and it's not that I hate

Pam or anything I just don't think she's like not on your list I don't think she's integral you're telling me you get the 10th pick of this thing

you're not picking Pam Beasley I don't have 10 people on my list but yeah Pam definitely cracks the top 10 as ninth yeah all right it's like you could have drafted pam and then traded that for some serious value it seems like it you could have gotten like three picks for me that's fun to think about drafting a character and then trading them i mean to have them on your list brad only gets one schmor he gets pam yeah like is it

enough to carry other picks i mean if the office wouldn't be the office about pam so you're telling me you're so your premise is like it's jim plus fill in the blank is the like love story like not not i think a lot of me feels that way of like really yeah the way i watch the show anyway i don't know if that's a widely like thought thing but i just feel like when i was watching the show i feel like you relate to the straight man right that's psychology everyone puts themselves in jim's shoes wow this workplace is zany i'm jim wow i want to see jim succeed i want to see jim get the girl yeah i i was so yeah i don't know i like you had a thing for pam you can say it yeah no i don't think so i never thought glasses on i love crush on pam did you oh. No, I don't think so. I never thought. With glasses on? I had a little crush

on Pam growing up. Did you? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I don't remember feeling that way. But I mean, like I remember like tearing up at the wedding.

You know, I remember like being really excited when I found out she was pregnant. Like, like things like that. Yeah, I'm a big fan.

Yeah. So, Pam, Pam. Pam, Pam, Pam. Yeah. Pam, Pam. Second pick, Jakey. All all right that's fine pam's nice second pick this used to be my favorite office character maybe it still is i don't know

creed bratton fascinating just a just a great character mainly because i don't think to this day no one really knows if he was playing a character because his name is creed bratton he really was in an old like 60s like grassroots yeah like band and um he's just fascinating i think that humor just really tickled me when i was first watching this show i loved this just old man who was just so unaware and i remember loving that quote just like uh yeah pam described a distinct old man smell yeah i know exactly what she's talking about pretty healthy but they smell like death. Stuff like that's so funny.

Not knowing the difference in an apple and a potato or whatever it was. She had a foot with four toes. Yeah. Yeah. They all have two chairs. Only one to go. Yeah. Just funny stuff like that.

I love the idea. I think that's how I write comedy, too. It's funny to me alluding to something that you don't even know what you're alluding to. That's just funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah like i don't get the joke it's like no there's no like it's just he's weird cynical joke it's just like yeah it's just a funny character two chairs only one to go that's just funny to me as far as bang for your buck with like number of lines and quality of lines yeah like every line creed delivers is pretty hilarious money yeah good he shows up covered in blood on halloween yeah what he says like thank goodness it's halloween

it's so yeah they they wrote that character very well scott hey brad will you beer me that pick also not on my list not on your list list. I think just because of the later seasons. Yeah. Scott's picking Andy Bernard. I'm picking Andy Bernard. Yeah, he does have some. He gets pretty annoying towards the end. That is really too bad.

It is a moment for the show. Yeah, they kind of made his character into. Yeah, unlikable. But those first like three or four seasons that he's in are just he's he adds such a fun. I did. Yeah, I really like him. Yeah. Yeah.

It's almost like those seasons like make up for the his interactions with Jim are just so fun. Just so fun, dude. Oh, man. When he punches the wall, when he. Yeah, you see Andy, the aggressor, Andy, the suck up. And then Andy, just like the likable guy. You want him to get with Aaron. Most likable, I was going to say most likable moment for Andy for me

is the 12 Days of Christmas when he does the 12 drummers drumming at the end. And he just starts going to town dancing with that thing. Justin, can we find that and put it in? It's so funny. I mean, yeah, he's like, Merry Christmas, Aaron. Take it away, boys. And he's like. And he's like doing like the, Aaron. Take it away, boys! And he's like... And he's doing like the running man.

Yes, dude. Merry Christmas, Aaron. Take it away, boys! It's so good. Good pick for andy's play sweeney todd yeah good rachel had a comedy central on the other night when i got into this house and uh comedy central was playing a season nine episode of the office and i got to see andy at his worst and i was like there's a reason i watch these episodes it's tough tough. It's tough. All right. My,

my number three pick is going to be the one and only Kevin Malone. Okay. Okay. I love Kevin. There's just something so lovable about Kevin. Just a big old teddy bear. Yeah. He's also a lot of, a lot of bang for buck on lines with,

with Kevin. I love that he's money with his jump shot too. That me like kevin too he's like uh yeah he's a real athlete i think like he's a good golfer yeah have you guys listened to the uh spotify play or uh oral history yeah yeah good amount yeah it's funny when his character is like so dim-witted in the show but like then you hear him talk in in real life and you're like oh yeah he's just a totally normal guy but he portrays such a totally character he's very convincing that he was that intelligence level yeah yeah there's just his blank stare is also also very solid yeah that was great okay all right this one gets the nitty-gritty this one might lose me oh one might lose me.

Oh, here we go. This might lose me as well, but I don't care. I'm being honest to myself. I want you to know that. Karen, I feel a belly. No. Nate. Oh.

I think Nate. Nate is so funny. Gum's got mint here. Yeah. He is so funny. I don't even know Nate's last name. I don't know if he has one. Nickerson.

Nate Nickerson. Yeah, I have characters. He's in his nickerson oh yeah he's just great i just love i love that character i think he's awesome and um yeah i went it wasn't that long ago that i went and looked at just like a nate compilation on youtube and it's awesome just like his best moments and everything yeah he was pound for pound pretty great uh What was the, do you remember the scene wherever Andy was the boss and he was talking to somebody else and Nate kept interrupting and being like, FYI or something like that.

I can kind of remember you talking about. Do you remember? Think pad's looking it up. The thing I think of with Nate when he's like, I don't have a hearing problem per se. And then he kind of explained it, which is a lot of noises. And then he brings it up again later in the episode like maybe andy filled you in i don't have a hearing problem and he's like and uh also fyi

like he thought he was so proud to say fyi oh wow when he tells pam he's like i wasn't here like what uh it's pretty common phrase you want me to log it away for future use. Yeah, he seems just very funny. All right, my third pick. First, it was Reach. It was Raj. Real quick while we're still on Nate. When Dwight hires him, and he's talking in Nate-speaking Spanish to Dwight.

Yeah. Un bueno worker? Si, un bueno worker. Donde estar you from? La Philadelphia. Oh, yeah. Un bueno worker? Si, un bueno worker. Donde estar you from? La Philadelphia. Your accento. Your accento. Before that, La Philadelphia.

Yeah. Yeah. Pablo English? Yeah. Yeah, I speak English very well. English, very good. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, man. So great great that's a good pick jake i like i love nate i thought about him yeah that's great okay uh my third pick is gonna be my man on the keyboard the man of soul what are you laughing about you can't go out in the closet i'm just on i'm on a post it's like 10 low-key hilarious Nate moments. And there's the one where Dwight tells him his mom's dying. The sound he makes when he hits the floor is so funny. Your mother is dying. Nate, your mom's dying.

Oh, man. Yeah. Okay. All right, Brad. The floor is yours.ott all right my my pick my pick um my pick is daryl philbin um just rogers mita rogers uh just bring that booty btb you know yeah pigeons in the parking lot now that's a text you know all that kind of stuff just i don't know just lovable guy and got some soul to him, got some musical abilities similar to Andy. Yeah, anyway, I just think he was, honestly, here's a just transparent,

I did not understand the Dink and Flicka. Like I didn't understand that that was a joke that he would like play on Michael. I thought he was like genuinely telling Michael like here's a cool like black phrase. And so in high school, I had some black friends and I said Dink and Flicka to them. That's completely true. I got nervous when you started this. I thought you were going to say,

I didn't realize that Dink and Flicka like meant what it meant. And I was like, oh no. Did I think it meant nothing? It was Jacob Grote. Remember Jacob Grote? And I was like, hey man, Dink and Flicka. And he's like, yeah.

He acknowledged. And then I watched it later. I was like, oh, I think he was messing with Michael right there. And then fourth and final pick for me is Aaron Hannon. Missouri's own. That's right. She's from Missouri? Big time.

Actually, I didn't know that. She's Ellie Kemper, so Kemper Arena. She's own. That's right. She's from Missouri? Big time. Actually, I didn't know that. Where at? She's Ellie Kemper, so Kemper Arena. She's one of those family members. She's got roots at Kansas City, but her and Pam are both from St. Louis. Yuck! What have I done? She's not really part of the Kemper Arena family.

That's her grandpa. Wow. There you go, Scott. Did not know that. Missouri. You're welcome. Not Kansas, Brad brad's got a missouri team yikes guys don't vote for me no i'm just kidding um no i she's so funny kind of in the same sense of like just wild random humor kind of like creed not not exactly but like nonsensical unpredictability of her and creed is similar i'm sorry she's like a good cook or something you know i just i don't see it or just like like the the thing that katherine i quote so much is when she goes uh you know it's it's a halloween

and robert california brings his son and she just for whatever reason like raises her voice like 1.25 percent you know times and she just goes birdie boy would you like to play and the way that she delivers that the way that she delivers uh what else you got what else you got or uh you know when they're singing the uh party in the usa dunder mifflin is a part of sabre the way that um they're like actually it's saber saber and she tries to re-sing it as like but the way she like sings it like overly perfect, like Dunder Mifflin is a pot of Saber. I don't know, like so many little things like that.

Just very lovable. Honestly, just feel bad for her near the end because she gets, you know, whatever, just mistreated by Andy so much. But Aaron Hannon, Aaron Hannon in the show, not Ellie Kemper from St. Louis is my pick. Okay. Let me be clear.

Okay. I'm down to two here. I'm going to go with Gabe actually. What? Yeah. No way. Oh, Gabe's hilarious. Oh, I did not like Gabe.

You've seen all those like blooper reels. Gabe is like consistently making other people laugh. Really? He is like a very, very funny like comedic actor and i know we're not voting on the actors themselves but i do think like if you look at his character through the lens of like comedy it's like he does do a great job of just like being funny and playing his role and yeah i didn't like him a ton when i like first watched it through but i feel like now it's like that is a great character yeah i think he does a great job just being this,

like praying mantis of a human. No one really wants around, but he has to insert himself in places. And okay. For the record, those last two things make it seem awkward that I'm going to like compare these two people. And I don't feel like this is,

I don't think I want him around and whatever, but Derek, our videographer for jean shorts reminds me of Gabe. Sometimes they do kind of look alike look like soft spoken talk yeah similarly and yeah that's a good comparison yeah yeah but he but derrick's lovable forget that i said you don't want him around not that part the praying before i said that the praying man i'll go ahead and let him own that one um yeah so obviously gabe wouldn't be in my top four if i only had you know if i was doing this

draft by myself right but you know we're on pick 11 so um yeah i would choose gabe good all right scott all right final you guys are gonna feel about this pick we'll see uh my final pick is d'angelo vickers okay i was between him and gabe yeah well you you mean like we're not gonna like it i didn't know if. You mean like we're not going to like it? I didn't know if you guys would like it. I didn't know. I think that the episodes that he's on while Michael's still there, the dynamic between Will Ferrell and Steve Carell is so good.

Yeah. Especially like the Dundies. The Dundies! The Dundies! Yeah. And then what are they doing when he's laying on the floor with the headphones on me moo yeah he's like trying to do like the king's speech kind of thing where it's like drown it out so you get rid of your you know stutter or something they're the two that do they're like one two three it's showtime right for the dundies yeah because

will ferrell's so nervous oh yeah i think i think one of my probably my fit well my favorite d angelo vickers moment one of my favorite moments on the show is the invisible juggling act. Oh, yeah. Performed to Evanescence. You trust me, Phyllis? Phyllis, hold your head still. Give it up for Phyllis. Give it up, big hand for Phyllis.

I think that's such a funny sketch that like, he's pretending to be a professional juggler. He's like, I don't have any more balls to juggle. So he just does his whole act I never mess with another man's parabolas he like avoids them that is pretty funny Catherine doesn't think Will Ferrell's funny and I don't know how

a lot of people didn't really like him on the show especially in the time but I remember thinking like this is like my favorite actor joining my favorite show this is awesome it was like too good to be true I remember when I heard the rumor that he was going to replace michael and i was like that's gonna be pretty that's not so bad and it's not so bad he did four episodes and he did have kind of some bad qualities and his character did you know i think he was kind of like but so many quotable things yeah he did a lot with four episodes that baby

could be on the front cover or did he saying babies i don't care about care about yeah so man or you know he's like he's like uh he's like shooting the basketball like complaining about it's like this thing's a ripoff or something like oh yeah yeah i put a little english on it you know all these different things oh man yeah good good last pick good last pick it's gonna be close one again this week yeah yeah we'll see you guys just need to decide who the show revolves around. Really, that's what it comes down to. Back me up. Ghosties back me up. A Missourian or someone else?

Who does it revolve around? She's from Scranton. Look at Jake just twisting that knife inside right now. I'm just glad I remembered she's from Missouri. That's okay. Dang. Just twist the knife, baby. All right.

All right. Do you want to recap them or you want us to move on? Oh, I'm so sorry. I know you like to recap. Yeah, I do. I'll let you recap if you want to recap. Yeah. So we got Scott saying Michael Scott, Andy Bernard, Kevin Malone, D'Angelo Vickers, Jake said Dwight K. Schrute, Creed Bratton, Nate Nickerson, Gabe Lewis.

Those four guys together are like the weirdest. Yeah, they are. Imagine just those four. I mean, that's a, that's a, yeah. Then I got Jim Halpert, Pam Beasley, Daryl Philbin, Aaron Hannon. So cast your votes, Facebook group. We always appreciate you guys getting into it. I love that Facebook group.
