Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I wasn't done thanking my supporters. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I know I did.

I wasn't done thanking my supporters. If you know what I mean. Episode one, 88. Here we are. How was Thanksgiving for you? Good. It was very active, which I loved. Got to see the...

It was very active. Tell me more go on got him uh just yeah it always is with rachel's family which is really fun we played uh we played the newlywed game together um you know it was like rachel his parents were a team tommy and cory were teaming rachel were team and then tim and his grandma were a team. Tommy and Corey were a team. Me and Rachel were a team. And then Tim and his grandma were a team. Oh, that's great. Which is really funny. Tim and the dog were a team. Yeah.

Tim and Lila. How'd you fare? We got six of the first six answers correctly. And then the wheels kind of fell off. I was going to say. That was like one of those stats that was very selective. They're one of the top 17 schools in the nation in engineering. It's like, I wonder which one you are.

You got six of the first six, right? Yes. That's pretty cool. Because, because I mean, it's newlyweds. So like,

you know, Angie and Steve aren't newlyweds. So in theory, they don't have a great like potential, you know, for winning either. You know what I mean? Well put.

Yeah. I think they've been married the longest. They should know the most about each other well but i don't know what the if they're like hey what was your newlywed thing that you loved do you know what the newlywed game is yeah okay it's not about your wedding day it's not like yeah you're right yeah yeah okay i didn't know if you were playing chuck woolery's newlywed game it's not about your wedding day it's not like yeah you're right yeah yeah okay i didn't know if you were playing chuck woolery's newlywed it's like what does your spouse complain about the most and that's where like if you've been together 30 years you have that down okay so so give me can i have a question of yours and i want to see if i know it like if oh gosh and give me one if

you can remember any of them i know i'm putting you on the spot here. Give me one that Rachel got right and one that Rachel got wrong. I want to get both of them right. I wish Rachel was still here to help out with this. Maybe she's hiding around the corner still. Rachel! She's not here. One question that I think Rachel got wrong. Okay.

It was asked to Rachel and it was, how would your spouse think that you would describe him? Pretty confusing. It's like a riddle. Think that you would describe him. Okay. So if you're Rachel, you're like, yeah, how would Jake think I'm going to describe him? In one word. Oh, one word.

It was one word. That's a lot to think about. I know. It's confusing. It's a confusing game to play. She said, well, he's not my spouse yet is that what she said on every single answer uh no the answer is positive whoa you got it did you guys talk about this before no i just know you baby i know what she values in you yeah

we should play that yeah we should play a newlywed game together. Brad and Jake newlywed game. That was actually correct. That was my idea for Gene Short's video a long time ago. I was like, I want to battle Trey and see who knows Jake better. Yeah. And we did that, but Jake and I went against her. Do you want me to pull up a few questions? Sure.

I don't know how well. Yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah, let's do it. I said fun. She said positive. She got that one right. Oh, so I would have gotten it right with Rachel, but not you. Correct.

Oh, so I didn't win. But you aligned with Rachel. Yeah. Yeah. But I was trying to align with you. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I see. Ah, shoot.

Fun. Yes. Okay. You are fun. You are fun if you are a good couple. Yeah. We are. I really don't know if I can remember much else.

There were just a question. Yeah, one was like, what is it? It's so funny. The games, these questions are old fashioned because it's like a game like the 70s. So it's like, what is your spouse? This is a question for the men. What is your spouse bag about the most bag? Which means I complain.

OK, I've never heard that as like a i know verb for complain um so rachel and i got this right cold weather oh you're a you're a cold weather bagger i've never heard you bag about the cold what are you bagging about what are you bagging about over there boy the old bag and chain yeah you want paper plastic with that bag had he's just like yeah tired someday i'm like yeah whatever what where you going on a vacation with all that bag and you're doing over there you gotta be careful you have to say bag uh you know yeah yeah yeah feels like the way to do it what do you complain about Phyllis' husband on the office call

I can't do an M&M impersonation? You don't know what it feels like. Nah, I don't know. I can't do an M&M impersonation. If you had M&M in the Andes. One concrete opportunity. You know I like Andy. Out of my boot, it's written Andy. Vomit on his sweat already. M&Ms in Andes. Oh, that's pretty good, Scotty.

Yeah, I like M&Ms. Jake, what is your silliest fear? Oh, what a fear. That fear is silly. Stop bagging about that fear. The silliest fear. Stop bagging about it, huh? I don't know.

The first fear, I don't know if that's silly or not. I've never ranked my fears on silliness. I've never thought about how fearful you are. I didn't know. I swear i'm hearing things are you hearing things out there rachel yeah someone's definitely out there maybe it's a laundry machine the dryer yeah maybe it's bagging about down there okay my silliest fear what this is hard to answer even by myself yeah you i don't have any silly fears what about like

irrational fear like i about like irrational fear like i have an irrational fear that a cigarette that somebody flicks out of their car is going to bounce into the engine and blow my car dude i had i had that i wasn't fearful but i had that thought the other day somebody that happened to me on the highway yesterday and i was like could that happen dude i think about it every time i see one of those little shards coming out of somebody's window and the other day it like it bounced up on top of the hood it was the closest i've ever come to a car explosion believe it or not that was the only reason i got an electric car yeah just there's nothing combustible

not combustible yeah no got any any silly fears like that never caught on fire that's one of the things they like really boast about big i'll never catch it fire silliest fears um i don't um okay okay a little specific okay let me get specific okay one two three a clown dressed up like a snake close in hawaii while i'm looking for a girl while you're looking for a golf ball because While you're looking for a golf ball. Because it's a Pro V1, you don't want to lose it. You said clown dressed up as a snake. Oh, there he goes chugging again. He's back to chugging. Good YouTube episode.

I think Brad said a clown dressed up as a snake. I don't understand how you haven't spilt anything yet. That's amazing. There's a decent amount on there. It's on his chin. And I said getting bit by a snake while looking for a golf ball. So pretty close. Pretty silly too, I tell you. That fear is

silly! That's a game show and it's just all the questions are silly and afterwards you're just there and you just say that answer was silly every time anyway got pretty off track here talking newlywed game we did the newlywed game we did uh who won i think tommy and cory might have won good for them i don't remember I went and got to see the wedding venue. How was that? It was really fun. I think Rachel and Angie were very shocked at the amount of questions I had. Oh, yeah.

Just about like, yeah, I feel like you throw enough can of cuck parties, you go to enough weddings. I have opinions and I want to, the main things I'm concerned about are just like. Logistics. Yeah. Like efficiency, like flow of traffic. How much time will people be waiting from here to here? Will everyone have a view that's good?

Does everyone have a good view? What do we do if this happens? And just like contingencies and stuff like that. Gotcha. Asked a lot of questions. That was fun. You feel like you got some good answers? Yeah.

Yeah. Good. It was fun. And also did a turkey trot. Yes, you did. First ever turkey trot. You couldn't find the turkey though. Yeah.

Yeah. Did we enjoy that instagram story i didn't enjoy it as much as a lot of people did i thought i was like that's that's that's pretty clever jay good one and man people thought it was the funniest thing they'd ever seen wait thank you hold on there wasn't really like you weren't looking for like a fake turkey i didn't know if that was a thing. It's a turkey. No, no, no.

That's a turkey run. It's a turkey trot, if you know what I mean. Turkey runs are like 5Ks. If you know what I mean. And then a turkey trot is almost like a pin the tail on the donkey, but everyone is looking for a fake turkey that's been in this field, basically. You guys are making this up. No, no, no. They call him a head gobbler.

Take it. I knew if I stared at Brad, he'd crack. A head gobbler. How long could we have gotten? Oh, my goodness. When we both realize that Scott doesn't know what this is. Oh my gosh. We should make up stuff in front of Scott more often.

I didn't know if that was just like a different tradition for this turkey trot is like you're supposed to find like a hidden turkey I thought that could really be a thing There's a head gobbler I would have loved to hear the end of that sentence He was gonna have a costume so you like know like he's all in red so you know like to follow him Oh man So it was just like every other turkey trot. It's a 5k yes 5k it's 5k on thanksgiving for sure oh do you remember lauren dodd dude uh jake and i used to have a friend she's still our

friend i guess yeah you're giving her dad a table uh yeah and uh from ellis custom creations and um she was about as gullible of a person as i've ever met yeah and it was amazing how jake and i just knew like hey we're messing with her it's showtime and and every time she would believe us and everyone else would be everyone else is laughing around it was like an improv and she's like wait really wait what so he has five feathers so the first five people to get the head gobbler win money wait guys are you serious no seriously because if you're right if you're serious if you're serious you need to tell me does it do they have the gobblers or not like jake and i would just say so straight no seriously seriously if you find the head gobbler you become the head gobbler for next year yeah like the hay king get to make the

peach gobbler then anyway oh well i i've watched that the first time i've like truly cried on this podcast maybe since i remember we did one like a long time ago in the in the garage shop where we were like joking about uh like different like things that this girl those girls would like cat call me um though that was funny too oh yeah chocolate or what something about chocolate chips yeah so cocoa puffs for that milk the time i was thinking of was like those girls wanted to play flag football with you and i was like jake it's because they they're digging your chili or something and then we just had all these in youendos. Yeah. Yeah. Flag for holding. That was it. Yes. That was,

I mean, it takes a lot. That was pretty fun, Scott. Thanks for. Oh my gosh. We could have never, never prepared for that.

That was so good. Oh man. Well, I watched that whole Instagram story thinking there was a hidden turkey. No, you saw the Instagram story? I thought, I was like,

oh, that's what we get for Scott on having Instagram. I didn't know you watched it. I totally thought, I was like was like oh scott's social media list and so he doesn't see that no i watched the story and i thought i thought it was like an an iowan tradition like you find a hidden turkey so scott would that not be kind of a fun dynamic to a normal turkey trot though it's like your idea but you thought that that was really going on yes and at the end when jake goes no turkeys you were like damn maybe somebody else found the turkey and he didn't zero turkeys oh my gosh pretty convincing performance so yeah i'm sure we talked about in the podcast before but scott is like notorious infamous whatever the word is you want to use for not understanding when jake and i or anybody is joking in a group chat but we're like oh that's because you can't really tell tone in a text you

can't really like see it visually you don't have like you know a preconceived knowledge of what turkey trots are but he watched you know a one minute long instagram story and still and the hilarious thing is that there's somebody listening right now that was like he's also like oh dude I was with Scott on that I can't wait for hundreds of supporters in the Facebook group and the YouTube comments to be on my side goodness we we will see we'll see buddy yeah I've never heard of a turkey trot where you do that but I just thought this one was different and I was like that would be kind of fun like you're running and you're looking for something along this run yeah i don't hate the idea of there being a task while running yeah yeah it's they're not this is my first ever

sanctioned race i've ever done it's the most i've ever run and it would uh yeah just it's kind of boring and i think maybe next year you guys should do a turkey trot indoors and like on each side of this room that you're in for this turkey trot there's like this rimmed object okay and you each like you have one ball everyone just has like everyone just takes a ball we could use a peach basket would that work that would work that'd be part of the peach gobbler okay great and then yes you're you're just like bouncing you call dribbling the ball and then you run towards one you run towards one rimmed object throw it in there and then you're the peach gobbler and then the other people dribble and they're the peach gobbler okay and we could

call it gobble ball and that's the turkey trap yeah that sounds like a fun turkey trap to me when you said yeah when you were like it'd be fun if you had an object to running i was like yeah that's basketball it's called every sport like that's what makes sports fun football, it wasn't like incredibly boring, but it's just compared to a sport. It's like, man, I got a lot more to go here. Yeah. All you're doing is thinking about how much longer you have to run. And it was interesting. Now, I know I don't want to just say I know in this podcast where we have made fun of

the idea of runner's high. I'm not I did not get a runner's high, by mile three something happened to me we're gonna call it a runner's buzz something happened to where all of a sudden it was just like I think I could go for a really long time yeah and I I don't ever run I think it's just the no sugar thing just not drinking soda just has got to help your cardiovascular system yeah dude when I in like high school I think I like didn't drink pop for two years. Do you remember that? My sister bet me like, Hey, I remember that. Yeah.

And so, yeah, it was like, it was the same thing. Like when we did conditioning for football, I didn't condition a ton in the summer before football, but it was so much easier for me than so many other people. And I think it was because I just didn't have as much sugar in my system. It was weird, but at the same time, it like fired me up. It was like, wow. Cause like my ankle was hurting. My knee was hurting. My shoulder was even hurting from running just from pumping. It's like, it's the same time, it fired me up. It was like, wow. Because my ankle was hurting. My knee was hurting. My shoulder was even hurting from running, just from pumping.

It's just not used to that motion. So it was a little embarrassing. But I was like, but lung-wise, I felt so good. I truly could have ran miles and miles more. Is that what a runner's high means? I guess I didn't know that. I don't know what a runner's high means either. I assumed it was just like when you're done, you just feel really good.

But I guess maybe that's what it is. The Douds have been trying to talk to me about runners high because they've been we talked about this in the car earlier they've been doing this like hybrid training that involves a bunch of running yeah and i'd ran like a mile the other day and i was like can confirm there's no such thing as a runner's high you didn't feel good afterwards i felt awful because because i agree i've done like 5k 10k stuff and it's like yeah there's some point where it's like oh all of a sudden I'm not tired and maybe that's what runners high is if that's the case it probably needs a rebrand because just like feeling like not that tired probably isn't the same as being high what do we want to call it then um runner scunners runner scunners oh I got the runner

scunners runners jacked no one commented about sparky turkeys on our video I thought sparky turkeys was so funny it's funny I'm glad you liked it it's a silly little thing runner scunners is also great dude did you see though 81% retention

on that video so they liked it no I didn't see that that is absurd I think the next best one ever is like sheltered kid in Vegas has like 79% but 80%

unheard of 81% even less that means if they started the video they continued watching all the way to the end like yeah it's yeah basically like the average watch time was you know let's say like the video was three minutes the average view duration of a view was two minutes and 40 seconds

that comes out to 80 okay something like they watched 80 of the video yeah it's kind of hard because like some people watch 100 of the video some people probably watch half the video yeah and so therefore 75 would be like the average of those two 80 is crazy because think about how many people click on that video and they realize it's not what they wanted and they click out in 10 seconds so every person that clicks in 10 seconds that really hurts a ton of people are watching it for the whole time yeah that's really cool thank thank you thank you for watching the whole thing yeah that's really fun sorry i didn't say a bad word but then we bleeped it out we got some got some flack for that so yeah it was funny on the facebook vander goons which you know we did welcome

constructive criticism yes i was more thinking like hey like moving forward what type of videos you guys want to see but you can also do it like when yeah when brad doesn't bleep out stuff so i think rachel said it best when she said it's funny to me that you guys are getting in trouble for bleeping a word out like only us people be like hey i don't know how we feel about them censoring themselves i did understand it goons i understood it i think that's hilarious when you guys do that hey we're not we're not bringing it up anymore okay guys okay okay scott our podcast, Scott. Our podcast. Our freaking podcast. Yeah.

Brad didn't even say the word, by the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brad said frick, and then we bleeped it. And now this creates problems for people with kids. Yes. It's okay. It's okay. Anyway, but thank you for support.

81% is crazy. We're going to film hopefully a bunch more in the next couple of days. A lot of Christmas videos. Yeah. And, uh, this is, I'm going to talk about this. Uh, we're having ghosties that are going to help us edit the videos, which is really fun. Yes. Um, that's just a cool full circle thing. Like there's certain people, Andrew Thurbush being one of them, Desmond Owers, uh, Justin, Nathan, our beloved Justin. Yes. All these awesome people who have done awesome videos for us, for the Facebook group that you guys have seen and loved. We're like, Hey, let's have these people edit our videos. We're filming so many

videos this month. And so, yeah, just a cool, yeah. Kind of gathering of the community in sorts. So yeah, it's fun. Like they've obviously proven themselves and now we want to compensate them and now we can work together and just kind of start off on a fun note with the new brand of jean shorts and everything. Oh, yeah. Trey was asking me today, he's like, what are you guys going to do?

And I was kind of telling him what we had planned. None of your business. It's literally none of your business. What are you guys going to do? None, yeah. No, I'm just kidding. And I told him, he's like, well, that's actually really cool.

That's a good idea. So it was fun. And yeah, excited for them. Be a part of it. Me too. I'm really excited. That is really cool. Hope I don't have to fire any of them.

Why'd you say it like that? Yeah. If you know what I mean. I don't know. Cool. What else do we want to talk about? Your Thanksgiving? My Thanksgiving.

Ghost Harvest Trip. Yeah. Let's talk about my Thanksgiving and then we'll talk about Ghost Harvest Trip and then we'll talk to Scott about whatever we want to talk about your Thanksgiving? My Thanksgiving trip. Yeah. Let's talk about my Thanksgiving and then we'll talk about ghostwriter strip and then we'll talk to Scott about whatever he wants to talk about. Um, my Thanksgiving in Texas was great. Uh, not a whole lot of any like crazy things going on. And I think that's what I always enjoy about going to Texas is it's just really, really chill.

Um, I was kind of telling you and Rachel or like, we're like, we just stay in one place. Like it just makes it a little bit easier to like just sit and not have to worry about oh we got to go wash the towels or we got to go do x y and z you know all these different house things wait i don't understand how these wash the towels what do you mean by staying in if you know what i mean staying in one place means you don't have to wash the towels sorry sorry different thing staying in one place meaning like we're not in the hustle and bustle of like

like if we were in at home for thanksgiving we'd be going to my parents one day then we'd come home for nap time then we might go to my sister's that night and then i'm home and then maybe like we'll go the north land to my cousin's house you know and so it's a little bit more it's texas was like this is our texas we got a hub you know like i don't think katherine left you know for four or five days in a row wow um like she's just there we had the opposite thanksgiving experiences yeah kind of so um and i think for whatever reason i enjoy watching sports so much more in texas like i think i think it's just because there's something to watch on tv and like it's something just to kind of chill and do with my father-in-law

uh but i watched so like all the football, like every single minute of it, it was great. Um, and yeah, I just had a lot of fun with that. Um, I I've been trying to, so I haven't, I not even trying to, I've been going to the gym every single day. My goal is 75 days in a row. And so I'm on day, I'm on day 46, I believe. Wow. You've gone to the gym every day. Yes. Except for South Dakota. I, I did not go in South Dakota. I just mowed down some birds instead. And I just plowed the field instead. Yeah. But I didn't, I didn't necessarily expect to go to the gym in Texas. So I brought some weights with me just to like do something there. And then I realized that for the last, I don't know, two years of my life, I had a Planet Fitness membership.

And I was like, hey, they got a Planet Fitness in Sherman, Texas. And so I learned how to like transfer my Planet Fitness membership to Sherman, Texas and went there. And I realized this week that I am a little bit of a gym snob because planet fitness, there's a lot of stigma around planet. So yeah. Yeah. And there is. And I,

I obviously know that I'm, you know, like, like planet fitness, whole thing is like, we're cheap. We, there's no judgment.

They have no judgment things everywhere on there. And I, I don't, I think that's great. I think honestly their equipment's not that terrible. Like you will see people doing weird things on said equipment. You see the,unk Alarm? Yeah.

I didn't see anybody have it go off on them. But yeah, if you're too loud or you can't have sleeveless shirts. There's a certain funny... You can't? Maybe cut off a sleeveless shirt, something like that. No nips. Yeah, nips completely in. Not nips out. And there were like strong like you know jack dudes there so it's not like if you go

there you can't be fit or whatever they also give out pizza you know like once a month which i think sounds awesome i always wait for that day yeah when i had a plan of fitness membership i went big on they have a bowl of tootsie rolls out front oh yes i would go to town on those pretty counterproductive to Tootsie rolls of all the candies to distribute. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's the only one they have. Yeah. I don't know. Anyway, all I have to say, the only thing I really like didn't realize that I was getting so lucky at the gym that I go to lifetime is that they don't have, they don't provide you with towels or locks on the lockers. And those things to me, I guess I thought were just like normal things. And so

literally the first day I get done with my workout, I like go to take a shower. You know, I'm, I'm almost ready to take a shower and I'm like walking into the shower area and I realized there's no towel. And I got real close to like taking a shower before I realized this. Luckily I did it. Um, can you imagine though? Like what would you have done i have like the option would have been my sweaty clothes to wipe off with or my clothes that i'm changing into or you just walk over to like the paper towel dispenser dude that just reminded me i had to do that one time in branson i've done that before with paper towels dry your body off yeah i dried my body before with paper towels. Dry your body off. Yeah. I tried my body off with paper towels with plain of fitness, brown paper towels too.

No, it was an RV park. Oh, I like the picture. You just like fashioning a loincloth out of paper towels to walk around the locker room. You guys come here often. You guys ever seen the alarm go off? No judgment zone.

No judgment zone. All right. No judgment zone. Um, I will say we talked, Oh, we had that with that Thanksgiving video. You were like, Brad,

I don't think you know how Gen Z people talk. And yes, guilty. I definitely don't. But like, cause I was definitely doing like the, like, like party boy. It's true, dude. I think it's because of the gym. The only Gen Z people I ever see are at the gym. And that's exactly how they act. These three guys talk though. Yes, dude. Tell me how they talk. yes dude tell me how they talk oh let me think of what that they said i don't remember they were they were saying like oh bro and like they were like lifting up their shoulders like dude look at this i don't remember exactly they were showing their abs off to each other and taking pictures of each other and it was dang that's hot it was really odd that was honestly like i said odd too yes that's what i said I don't, I said odd too. Yes. That's what I said. I don't judge. No judgment zone.

No judgment zone. In Jesus. But I, what? In Jesus. So the chosen, um, in Jesus name,

no judgment. I don't judge, but I did get like, like, and I never think this way. I never think this way, but I was worried that my stuff was going to get stolen by these guys. Like,

by some of the bros. Yeah. These bros were like, I was like, they just seem like hooligans just hanging out in this locker room playing a fitness taking pictures and i'm like whatever hooligans so i like i like watched them like come out of the locker room and then i went back in the locker room to make sure all my stuff was still there i've never been that kind of guy but anyway um and then i went to take a shower and they didn't have any body.

Well, I did like one of the other days I did bring a towel. They didn't have any body wash, only shampoo and conditioner. If it were you, would you go shampoo or conditioner for the body? Shampoo. I just shampoo, I guess. Yeah. I shampooed poo all the way. Yeah.

So anyway, that's it. That's it. Yeah. But yeah, it was, it's something planet fitness i'm just keeping my membership because i'm going back in christmas time i think planet fitness has a lot of people in your boat that are like i didn't even remember i had that membership because it's ten dollars a month and you're like and it's like notoriously hard to cancel it yeah you know and so you have to like be in person to cancel it so i've got to make sure model yes 100 yeah they do great so anyway i'm not saying anything bad about like

their machines honestly were pretty similar to anything lifetime has there's purple they don't have any like free like squat racks though like free weights they've done bills i think but they have squat racks oh i thought they didn't have squat racks. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they, I don't know if they were like completely free or if it was like one of those that has like a track on it or whatever. Like a Smith machine? Sure.

Yeah, that's a Smith machine. Real quick before I go any further, like I was about to say, in Jesus, in Jesus, this episode is sponsored by The Chosen again. Yeah, it is, baby.

exclusively on Paramount+. Another part of my Thanksgiving was, so the Iowa part was, yes, super, super busy, doing stuff constantly. Turkey trot. We did a golf simulator. Another day we went to a golf course. It's a family tradition.

Rachel's family just looks for golf balls all day. Took the dog out there. No snakes. That would be silly. No snakes. Had a lot of fun. After Thanksgiving, drove back down to Stratford. Had some good times there.

Then went down to Branson. Oh, yeah. Went and visited Josh Mayer Golf and his wife, Maggie. They live there? No, they were visiting. When I first met them, he was like, yeah, my brother's in like the Jesus site and sound theater play. I'm going down to Branson around Thanksgiving.

I was like, dude. Is that like the only thing that you can see Jesus in? Like an only play like these days? Or would you say there's another one maybe? I mean, you could see someone playing Jesus, but you're gonna have to go

all the way to Branson to do that. If you want to really see someone play Jesus, you could do it right from where you're sitting right now. We probably pay a bunch

of money for it, right? That's the thing. It costs 10 million. No, it's free. No, other people paid 10 million, but you get to watch it for free. Oh, oh okay if you have

an iphone only right that that's the thing it's on roku and android and others that's amazing um anyway got to see uh josh and maggie which is fun i love telling people i'm gonna do something like that and then they're like oh you're actually coming like yeah yeah there's a few that i didn't do never visited uh garrett gibson uh in the virgin islands said i was gonna do that sorry garrett that's okay but i get most of them anyway i want to tell you a little bit about our time uh because i wanted to take him to a classic brandon spot i took him to mel's hard luck diner that's where i love taking people never been your waiters and waitresses carry around wireless mics and they sing to you While you're eating what do they have like a specific era that they're like emulates all over sometimes. It's Christmas

It could be Disney. It could be a 80 song and sometimes hip-hop if you get lucky. It's an original Oh Because the whole time it's just loud for four minutes like what was that and everyone's like that was an original if you'd like a copy we do sell dvds and cds at the gift shop and they do there's a gift shop at the restaurant you have to check out through the gift shop smart sales funnel smart cracker barrel cracker barrel amended that so one thing it is very very loud in there it was hard it was probably my my favorite part not my favorite part of thanksgiving one of my favorite parts thanksgiving was just talking to josh and maggie the loudest environment ever and i noticed um in addition to how loud it is they have like a decibel reading that's public for everyone to see how loud it is in there it felt like i was at arrowhead stadium yeah it was

like all right start down encouraging you to be loud? No. Because I was very curious about this. I was like, why are they showing us how loud it is in here? And then Maggie had the thought, she's like, my grandpa has hearing aids, and I know he can't get over a certain decibel thing. So it's probably they have so many old customers that the old people have to monitor that and be like, hey, if it gets above 105, my ear is gonna explode yeah jerry's like i gotta leave get me out of here i think they would just turn off their headphones just take them out hearing aids yeah uh but i think if you did have hearing

aids from what i know about hearing aids i think it'd be miserable to be in there because it is just so much volume it is so loud oh i bet yeah um but that was kind of fun um another thing uh they advertise their restrooms once you're already in the store occasionally you might see some on the interstate it's like exit 64 conoco yes restrooms cleaned hourly yeah okay if i need to stop me i'll go there i've never seen someone advertise their restrooms cleanliness once you're already in the store it's like well i'm already like where you use them so kind of just like where you would turn to go to the restrooms there's a sign that says clean restrooms to the right or like super clean restaurant something like that they really hype up the restrooms like you can't miss the

sign when you go in and so i go into the restroom and i saw someone who's probably named arnie very old guy probably has hearing aids yeah and he's like son can help me? Which is never fun to be asked. I need some help. And I very quickly was like, yes, of course. But in my head, I'm like, what is this going to be? Ernie's asking for help in the bathroom. If you know what I mean. And I think the word trousers are going to be involved.

He's going to use an old-fashioned term. You know, britches. I can't get my britches down. His suspenders. His suspenders are caught. His suspenders. Suspenders are caught. My suspenders are caught on the flusher. My wife's always bagging about doing this.

I would bag my wife about it, but she can't hear it because she took out her hearing aids. Decibel meters off the charts today. So he's like, can you help me? And I was like, yeah, of course. He's like,

I'm still looking for the clean restrooms. And I wanted to give him the Rachel Goop. But no, I just laughed. And I was like, oh, yeah, it's not too clean in here, is it? It was great. I think that's a pretty good joke. I know. I'm still looking for the clean restrooms.

Like, especially if he sold it, like Scott would have been believing. Yeah, I'm sure they have some around here somewhere. I know there's a Christmas store next door next door wait do they have like more than one restroom like one of them is the clean one and one's the not clean one like scott would be like oh man i thought so instead of male and female it's like clean dirty yeah which one are we in right now um that was fun uh and then also got to talk at a certain point in the conversation uh kind of the girls started talking about you know girl stuff the hair color nails and shopping yeah purses yeah um maybe nancy pelosi

girl stuff girl stuff kardashian condoleezza uh yeah just a bunch of sonia sotomayor like just a bunch of like female politicians just talking great clinton you know hillary i i will do that character of rachel's of time about just like picking girls only talk about primarily female products and uh or like when like when you show come in the room and me and tim were talking and like actually we were having guy talk so tim what grill what girl you're using again just like hyper masculine anyway josh and i got talking only about youtube we talked about youtube for an hour it was awesome i needed that i love that conversation sorry go ahead well i had the thought you you sent me like thoughts from that yes and i had the thought of like what was what was rachel and josh's oh yeah like what were they

doing this whole time they were just sitting there listening to you guys no they were like that's so sweet of them they were a part of it for probably like 10 minutes and they at least acted interested but then they just kind of like started having their own conversation yeah that naturally happens all the time like okay that's usually like me and my dad have a conversation and katherine and my mom you know whatever so um but i thought we'd have a little youtube quiz for you guys that i uh forgot to write down um but scott gets to answer first because he's definitely not gonna know it and then brad uh you get to okay um answer okay so um there's only gonna be a few i think just off the dome and they're probably going to mainly be

acronyms. Can't wait to shock the world. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see who sends that landslide gift after this. Scott, which I love in this setup with Scott's in the closet. I can't see him.

I see Jake's mouth. There is a, Oh really? And yeah, Scott and I can't see each other. I see his cross. I see his cross. It's like the reverse of that guy in home improvement where you only see his eyeballs. We'll see yeah, let me get down here

All right Scott and Brad yeah, what does the acronym? CPM stand for and what does it mean? I can't say it like this. I was testing out the chair. It means Cost per thousand and it's like how many stands for thousand. Yes, okay cost per thousand It's like how much money you get paid per thousand and it's like how much money. The M stands for thousand? Yes. Okay, cost per thousand. It's like how much money you get paid per thousand views. Okay. So does, Brad, does thousand start with an M? M is a common

letter for thousand. That's how like in bags you pay for bags in the thousands and it's slash M. I think M is the roman numeral for a thousand 100 it is oh 100 it is 100 it is brad what is your answer it's also the roman uh numeral for the thousand uh you want to start the sentence preface prefix milli or mil good cost per mil like millimeter a milli a milli a milli a milli and it does mean what scott says it means it does mean what scott says it means

i don't know if it's roman it might be latin but it is a roman numeral m last per thousand cost per thousand good okay i'm gonna give both points an undisclosed amount of points you both get points thank you thank you thank you till i get some icon diver scott all right um next acronym scott what does c means who's the right conversion rate that means the t in conversion is uh silent yes conversion rate how many people subscribe after watching one of your videos that's wrong i know brad do you know what ctr means of course i do i'm a freaking professional youtuber it's click-through rate oh dang it

i should have known that i should have known that i have a thriving youtube channel yeah i was doing my best hector salamanca click-through rate and what is the uh what are the numbers involved with click-through um Okay, so I believe click-through rate means that, oh, I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's like the percentage of people who then click on another video from after watching your video or something like that. Incorrect.

Amount of impressions, amount of people who saw your title and thumbnail versus amount of people who clicked it. Okay, okay, okay. So like kind of the opposite of what I said. Like somebody else might watch another video and then click yours. Correct, yeah.

It might get suggested to them or they see the subscription feed, homepage, whatever. Gotcha. Last one, wrap this up. AVP. Scott, what does it stand for? What does it mean?

It's not assistant vice president. America's funniest videos. Assistant to the vice president. Assistant to assistant vice president. America's funniest videos. Assistant to the vice president. Assistant to the vice president. AVP. AVP. Assisted video performance. Average video performance.

Average video performance. Yes. Okay, and what does it mean? It means out of your last 10 videos, how is this one doing compared to those very good guesses incorrect dang a is average though right i don't know what's your answer i don't know i average um i don't know yeah i think it might be that would have been my guess too yeah very good guess uh it's actually what we were talking about earlier spoiled the answer you guys already got the study guide average view percentage it's like every family or thanksgiving

81 okay okay maybe it's the same as like the duration well yeah like average view duration would be avd so that's like you know okay average view duration is three and a half minutes what about retention rate is that av avp retention is the same as avP okay gotcha alright just wanted to educate everyone thank you we're all YouTubers here yeah yeah yeah of course more and more each day

Jean Tours Comedy love talking to Josh about all that we also went to a magic show with him which was awesome and I dude

there was a part of me which is it's kind of dying off now but for about 24 hours I was trying to figure out how I could get a magic trick into my comedy set

I was like how fun would that be you just don't get a magic trick into my comedy set. I was like, how fun would that be? Well, you just don't see a magic trick coming out of anywhere. Dude, one of the guys that I hunted with in South Dakota was a magician. And he doesn't reveal his secrets. Did I tell you that? Did we already talk about it on the podcast? Yeah, we did. I think we talked about it off the podcast because I remember talking about this.

I was maybe it was just with you, but I remember talking about this. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Maybe I told you guys at Oklahomalahoma joe's yeah it was yeah i i was like there was this crazy you know i was talking about this magician in san diego and i was like this crazy thing like i gotta know how he did it he's like oh i i swore i i took an oath like i can't tell you i was like seriously i not going to tell anybody on my podcast. So anyway, um,

so, but he said like a lot of magicians end up becoming comedians because so many magicians put comedy in their act already. Yeah. Cause all you do is buy a trick. You buy the illusion and you learn how to do it and then you've got to make it entertaining. Yeah. And so I think the comedy would be like the easier

thing for them and so they're like just get rid of the magic let's just do the comedy thing and so yeah he said he said a lot of i mean because i think most comedians have to be funny right most comedians have to be funny you're learning most magicians have to be funny you're ready for des moines yeah right when is that show next weekend oh hello cool week from tomorrow des moines yep so yeah anyway good times i'm a magician now we'll see come to des moines show you might see a little magic trick let's uh let's give a little vacation update yeah let's talk about it let's talk all about it it's gonna be awesome yeah um we are ready to announce the trip and you guys can now like buy it thank you that was bad that was bad no no no we cut we cut okay

uh well you can now buy you can now go on the trip when when it comes out on wednesday right no you do it you do it okay well let's let's talk about the trip is first yeah yeah it will be available for everyone to purchase uh you know reservations on wednesday we're saying 9 a.m central standard time feeding frenzy 8 a.m mountain uh on our website ghostrunners.life um check it out it out there. There should be a travel tab. I think we'll have it on the homepage too. Who knows what we'll do? A quick click.

Travel with us. Um, anyway, but what we're doing, so I think we already talked about the Belize thing and kind of how it was just like, this is going to be a mess for the, the, you know, value. You're not going to get any value for this thing where it's going to charge too much. So instead we decided we were going to just go all in on vibes. And so I like that all in on vibe. All in on vibe. I mean,

that's what we, we like talked about that so many times of like, how can we make this so, so fun? So Jake and Brad, so our brand, so a little bit of like summer, summer campy,

almost a little bit of summer camping. And Catherine even said that she was like, she was like, you guys, you know, we've, we've had another idea that we've, you know, thrown around. She's like, if you want to do that,

then maybe this is a good, like, you know, starting point, launching point for you guys to do similar things like that. Really fun, really creative. Jake and Brad things. What we're doing is we are renting a massive house in Florida, um, seaside area 30 a and how massive, uh it seats seats sleeps 35 sleeps 35 how many could it seat though shocked if you want to sleep in a seat you can seat like we can have a lot of yeah if you guys are sit sleepers and you won't bag about it then you you will be shocked how many on this trip um no but it's just this massive house. I mean, it's luxuriously huge and beautiful and nice. It's got a pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, indoor kitchen.

We're going to have a private chef for the event. Private chef, all meals included. All meals included. We're going to go on an excursion one night to a sunset cruise. A little scourge. We've talked about like, or I, I don't know if we've actually like had all these things like, uh, what's the word completely decided, um, concrete is the word. Uh, but you know, I, I love the idea of us doing

like pros and cons list for the week, you know, for everybody, uh, having, having, you know, different competitions throughout the week that are just goofy. Um, but, but pros and cons list for every single person. Wouldn't that be fun? Yeah. So funny. Uh, we're going to have exclusive merch for everybody. We're going to, uh, do, um, a live podcast there that anybody that wants to can, you know, sit in on talk, give you an opportunity. We're going to have a third microphone there, uh, for you guys to talk. If you want to, we're also going to do a jean shorts video there that you're going to be at least one. Yeah, at least one that you're going to be. You can have the opportunity to be in a cameo there. We're going to have exclusive merch. I think I already said that just so many different fun things. There's also things that we don't even want to say.

I guess something you're going to get that you just figure it out once you buy a ticket. Yes, exactly. And yeah, so it's just going to be so, so much fun. Um, I'm trying to think of, I think logistically, like I'm just trying to answer as many questions as I can here. Cause people are going to ask a lot. Um, one of the things I think that Jake and I talked about vibe wise is like, uh, some people are going to want to chill. Some people are going to want to do a lot of stuff. And I think this is a great, um, mold of both those things. Like if you want to just sleep in and like lay by the pool and just eat really great food and just relax for, you know, this week, there's probably gonna be a

set of people that do that. Yeah. That's, that's definitely where Catherine's going to air on the side of that. Yeah. And, but then again, like, you know, if you want to go out and do excursions and you know, this place is such a fun, uh, you know, quaint, cute little area that we haven't said the location yet. Have we? Yes. Seaside. Yeah. Maybe we did. I think I did. Florida, Florida, Pensacola area. Yeah. And I mean, it's got cute coffee shops. It's got cute shopping, whatever, all these fun things that you can get out. We have a golf cart. Oh yeah. Golf courses that we could go to. Like I will probably doing stuff constantly. So if that's your travel vibe, hop in with me, we're going to do, we could play pickleball every morning. We can go golf. Yes. All these things are optional.

Yes. Oh, we're going to have so much. Yeah. It's Florida. They got to have like 15 pickleball courts around every corner, you know, pickleball and sunscreen. Oh man. It's going to be so much. I mean, obviously the beach is right there. We've got pool anyway. It's just going to be a blast. And we're so fun or so we're so fun. We're so excited about this opportunity and to meet you guys and to spend this time with you guys. Um, so then logistically, just real quick, the, the different room assignments and room options that we have are, we do have some, um, couples rooms. Like, uh, so if you and your friend or you and your spouse want to have a private room with a King size bed and a bathroom. We do have a select few of those.

And then we also have multiple different, uh, bunk rooms and there's different options for that. You can either have your own bunk room or you can sign up with a friend and you guys can have a queen size bunk bed, um, you know, uh, mattress to yourself on the bunk room. Um, and so, yeah, there's just, you know, things like that. I'm sure, I'm sure there's more questions and more thoughts that we have. Um, can you think of anything know, things like that. I'm sure, I'm sure there's more questions and more thoughts that we have. Um, do you think of anything else like specifically? Yeah. I mean, hopefully the buffer between now and Wednesday, use that time to ask us questions

in the Facebook group and everything. Um, but yeah, I'd say the main thing, if you were like, yeah, I definitely want to go, I want to save a little bit of money, find a same sex friend who wants to go and you guys can bunk up together. Share. You know, I, I ran all this. So much of this has been like through Catherine and Rachel,

we've been like collaborating with them and like, Hey, how would you feel about this as a girl? You know, like we want to make sure. And so the, the bunk rooms are going to be completely, you know,

gender neutral or gender, be a male bunk room, a female bunker. I think they're on different floors. Even like, we're going to like, yeah, we're going to work hard to make it as safe and as fun and uncomfortable comfortable yikes he told me the whole day oh anyway um yeah it's

it's just gonna be great and we're really really excited and i'm just i'm just pumped to have that time just to make memories i think we going to make so many hilariously fun, awesome memories around, you know, the Florida coast with you guys. So check it out on our, on our website, ghostrunners.life. We're really excited about it. We also. If you're wondering about the date, is that where you're going? Yes. It's in the description. Okay.

So it's, yeah, exactly. I'll say this. If you're struggling with like figuring out like how much money, you know, like if you need to put a deposit down, holler at us, obviously the people that are going to be able to pay upfront completely are going to have first dibs. But if you send us a message, we'll try to make it work, you know, with the deposit and then you can pay us the rest later or something like that. Do you know off the top of your head, if each one of these beds gets filled up, how many

Real close. I know. Yeah. Like the aerial view on Airbnb or VRBO, whatever. You could see the ocean steps. It says steps. Steps from the ocean. We have steps by the ocean.

We have a golf cart. Steps away from the ocean right now. Just several thousand. Okay, Scott. Scott's not coming. Stones throw. Step in a stone's throw away from the ocean. There you go.

Stones throw. That will be the first competition we have is who can get the closest to the ocean with a stone. One step and one stone's throw. Find your own stone. Could Brad push pee from the rooftop deck to the ocean? Ooh, yeah. You can be anywhere on the property. Maybe you want to be, yeah. Yeah, you can be anywhere on the property. Maybe you want to be up high.

Yeah, that's fun. Anyway, last thing we'll say, because I know, I mean, 95% of people listening to this are not probably entertaining the idea of coming. So, but the price you see on the website, well, the way you book is by buying a room.

Hopefully it's not confusing, but what you're buying is your room. So that's your ticket to come. And travel is not included, just so you know. You are booking everything once you get to Florida. Correct. Yeah. And I honestly, I'm really excited about the Florida thing because it makes it to where if you, if you can't afford the flight, but you really want to come, then you can drive. And I know people will come from New Hampshire to see us. Oregon boys have come, you know? So

yeah. I mean, uh, yeah, make it, make it happen. Make it work. Make it happen. Really excited for you guys to experience it with us. So yeah. Cool. That is the Ghost Runners getaway. Okay. Volume one. Volume one.

Volume one, baby. Yeah, it's going to be so much fun. And you can be like, hey, I went to the first one. I went to the first one. Yeah, you know Ghost Runners hotels? The ones that are super popular.

How about it? So we had a nice Thanksgiving dinner with our family and we went to. It was one of my family members.

My sister. My dad. We spent the rest of our weekend in St. Louis at a pickleball tournament, Sam and I. Okay. And first day, Friday, I was just getting my shoes on, kneeling down by my bag. And I hear a voice from behind my right shoulder says, excuse me, are you Scott? I turn around. I'm like, is this a Peck family pickleball fam?

Turn around and I see, I see two ghosties. They say, Hey, we're Jordan and Haley. We are huge ghosties. And I was like, I freaked out. I was like, freaked out i was like no way i like popped up immediately gave them both a hug and i was like this is so exciting shoes on or off at this point shoes were on okay yeah locked and loaded uh so yeah i popped up talked to them i just was like guys i just want you to know this is the first time this has ever

we don't like to film you no no we don't like people knowing what you look like barely seen your image and likeness being out there and so that is impressive that someone got to him i haven't signed an nil deal yet let's just say that but yeah that was one one fun did you feel like it was like i'm not trying to like ran your parade but like kind of like half recognition since it was a st louis i knew that you were gonna say he actually specifically told me to tell you to stop the st louis yeah i can't remember exactly what he said but he's like yeah tell brad to stop the st louis crap never i was like i don't know if he's ever gonna do that but you should you're from kansas too you should have said something yeah i just don't hate st

louis as much as you do i don't i don't know't hate St. Louis as much as you do. I don't know if I really hate it as much as I do either. I just like making fun of it. Okay, the other thing that, yeah, I was teasing is Friday night we went out to a hibachi restaurant. Oh, that was another thing I did in Iowa. I love hibachi. I was known for the hibachi, right? Farm Fresh.

Yeah, it's all local. Yeah, well, sorry, you can go first, but I'm big for the hibachi, right? If I'm fresh. Yeah. It's all local. Yeah. Well, sorry, you can go first, but I I'm big on the hibachi right now. Dude, let's go. I'm going on a double date with Rachel and, or yeah, with Rachel. How about that? With Caitlin and Brayden on Monday. Oh, that's fun.

Yeah. Can't wait to hibachi. I, I am a big, big hibachi fan as well. And I feel like every time you go, it's kind of the same experience. It's a good experience, but it's always the same. Like you have yeah you have like the same kind of chef they do the same kind of tricks broken english let's make a volcano and oh it's hawaii and the old firework you know yeah so it's like all the same stuff and what's that towards the jungle over there that was the noises they make oh hungry so um so yeah we we sit down and our chef comes out first different thing about this trip is it's a white

guy that looks like vanilla ice i've talked about this on the podcast before or like a potential stand-up bit like you have a you go to hibachi grill and his name is kevin you're like yeah do you have anyone different yeah so first thought and not trying to be like racist or anything but i was like is this guy gonna make as good a food as the normal chefs yeah no this is pro this is reverse racism this is good yes i'm like i don't i don't know what to expect here so anyways he gets in front of our table he starts doing kind of the same tricks you know some of the same things but illusions he starts like bringing in all new stuff like he starts making like reverse racism jokes he's like when i filled out my application i put caucasian all they saw was asian and they hired me

so he starts making all these like anti-asian jokes or maybe pro-asian jokes i don't know asian jokes anyways but he was he was doing all sorts this racist guy was in what city missouri oh st louis okay yeah this racist guy was in what city? Missouri. St. Louis. St. Louis, okay, yeah. This racist guy. Just frame it that way. This lady walks in. This lady walks over to us, and she's talking to him.

She's like, what you want to drink, baby? And he's like, you know what I want. This does have rice in it. I will say that. Yeah. So she brings him back a Corona with lime, and he just chugs the thing. Like, right in front of us. Yeah. You went to like a discount hibachi dude i don't know anyways that was general and then the next thing you know how sometimes they'll do that joke where they have one of those squeeze bottles and they'll squeeze it at you and

it really is just like a string that's it so i thought that's what he's doing with this but this time he's like he tells one of one of the people were with or no it was somebody from a different party to open up their mouth. And so then he starts squeezing this like clear liquid into their mouth. And I think it's just water. And he's like kind of trying to show off his skills of how steady his hand is, you know. So he's just streaming this this clear liquid in this guy's mouth. And and then I think he's just going to do it to that guy.

But then he goes to the guy next to him who's in our party, does it to him. Next guy does it to him. Next guy does it to him next guy does it to him then he comes to me and I'm like oh no thank you because I just I'm just assuming I don't really want to get water all over me like you know whatever I can sip water from my drink yeah like I don't I don't need to participate in this yeah so then the guy next to me swallows the drink and he goes that was straight alcohol and I was like so a lot of you know i'm a member of the lds church we don't drink alcohol lds actually stands for long distance stream they can't they can't take any kind of streams like that so while he's going down the line i'm like okay do i try

to do this and catch some water in my mouth because i'm like surely i mean he would have announced thought didn't even cross my mind that this was like vodka based on like i know vodka is clear but like he was i mean it was a a lot of stuff he's squirting these people's mouths like that vinegar is funny taste yeah and so i was like kind of pure i was like do i want to drink this water and i was like i for for a split second i was about to do it well it's funny that you even said no to water you know yeah really you you've all people like i think you would just be like yeah let's do it but then when when my buddy next to me was like yeah that was straight like vodka i was like wow i was like that would have been a heck of a way to end the streak of literally not having a sip of alcohol my entire life and

so then sam starts joking with me she, dude, you would have been drunk immediately. That would be funny. Yeah. To ever, that comes up in conversation. Scott, you ever had a sip? Not one time. Okay. College.

No, I was 32. It's a classic story. You know, St. Louis, a Bocce with the white guy, with Mark. Trevor had a few Coronas. He starts squirting vodka and everyone's mouth I haven't had a sip. I've had a big gulp Stream dude it was hilarious. I was like I can't believe I was that close To just like wow yeah It was it was really really funny

It's funny when you've gone your whole life to avoid it and it could just be snapped by someone just like basically forcing their their bottle on you yeah that's how it happens man like slippery slope literally did not announce that that was alcohol just started squirting in people's mouths and i was like okay be careful on monday night then so the guy that didn't ask you for consent uh before he gave you alcohol was in st lou Okay. I will say food was delicious. He did a great job cooking. He said that was the only job he's ever had, which I think is kind of fun too. Like he was just turning 32.

He said, well, yeah, he's like, it was my only job I've ever had. It's been doing it for six years. And I'm like, where were you at the beginning of your working life?

He was like, dude, I think I believe him. He's like, that was my only job. He started my hib job at the missouri state penitentiary yeah he just took unemployment until he was 26 and then just started cooking oh man oh wow that's great yeah that was uh that was pretty funny um last thing i'll share is uh i don't

know if you guys been watching any of the world cup recently oh brandon i can't if it's not pickleball it's world cup yeah try to pull us away from the tv yeah you guys haven't watched any of the World Cup recently? Oh, Brad and I can't. If it's not pickleball, it's World Cup. Yeah, try to pull us away from the TV. You guys haven't watched any of it? Mbappe. Mbappe, there you go. Mbappe and Zinedine Zidane. He doesn't play anymore. Mia Hamm.

You say World Cup, I say who's drinking it. Yeah, exactly. You know, I mean, I can't get enough of this stuff. I say pour it down my gullet. That's Pele. That's Pele. That's Pele Ronaldo. Ronaldo. Andinaldo.

And Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho. They're big. And Diego Maradona. Okay. You guys are really good. There is Abraham. And Pulisic.

Ibrahimovic. Abraham Ibrahimovic. What is his name? Do I have it? Zlatan. Oh. Zlatan. Don't mess with the Zlatan.

Yeah. Anywho. Clearly you guys have not been watching the World Cup. Who does anybody play for? Mbappe, dude. Tunisia, France today. Paul Sick was in the hospital. Did you watch some Tunisia, France today? I got my haircut and it was on.

There you go. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. Tunisia is putting together a team, huh? They're doing pretty well. They're solving a team at the World Cup. Their forwards are good, but their defense just is rough. Most of my World Cup knowledge is going to come

from GeoGuessr. In Tunisia, very small country, surface area-wise, I'm impressed they could put together such a good soccer team. That is kind of wild. Because they didn't have much room to play? Yeah, there's a lot of sand. Honestly, though, all my GeoGuessrs out there, you guys know what Tunisia looks like.

It's either Tunisia or Israel or occasionally Jordanordan very sandy okay not a lot of grass if you've got grass you're in tunis the capital oh tunis tunis is the capital of tunisia it's gotta be right sure i don't know of any other cities in tunis it than Tunis. So go ahead. World Cup. Canned Tunis? Mbappe.

Tunis is the capital and largest city of Tunisia. Little Messi. There you go. Thanks. Thank you guys for just naming all the soccer players. Tim Howard.

Does that answer your question? Yeah. Matt Beisler. Okay. Okay. Got one. What do you have to say? Brad's going to,

as soon as I start talking, he's going to say like three more. So I'm just going to, are you done? Crazy. That's it. So I've been watching a lot of the world cup. I've been trying to introduce Palmer to the world cup.

Oh, and Paul may. Probably. Yeah. But proud father moment. So anytime a goal was scored you know i was just going above and beyond like mexican radio announcer and then just holding that for literally as long as my breath could do it and so palmer stayed with my my mother-in-law while we were gone all weekend. And she said that Palmer just at random points throughout the day was just going.

And it was just a very proud father moment for me. I love it. Yeah. That's what Bo this weekend, my, my father-in-law graduated from Texas tech. And so just randomly it'll just go wreck them tech. And I'm like, come on, man. We say Rock Chalk Jayhawk. The father-in-law would say wreck him? No, then Bo would say it.

Oh, Bo would. Bo would just walk around, wreck him, tech. And then after like a while, he would go, oops, I just said wreck him, tech, after he said it. That's funny, at least. Oops, I just said wreck him, tech. So good job training your daughter to like soccer, Scott. That's awesome. I just have a quick story.'s not even mine it came from my sister but she sent me a voicemail telling me the

story she's like i just feel like this is something that happens to you and i was like that is pretty amazing that happened she got something for best buy and did best buy pickup it's like a printer or something okay and she said in best buy curbside pickup you actually have to select which door they're gonna put it in she's like i've never seen that before but she shows like the shotgun like passenger side front door um she pulls up to best buy the guy is standing there she rolls down the window and the guy goes what and so she tells him like her order or whatever he goes and gets it and then uh he was like i can't uh i can't put it on that door and like in that window or whatever. And Caitlin was like, why? And he's like, well, I have to stay on the curb.

It's curbside service. What? So she's not in a parking space. She's on the curb. I guess she is pulled up and where they say curbside delivery. And this guy who takes his job as seriously as possible claims he cannot leave the curb because it's curbside. Which is amazing. I love that that so what did she do should she so that she had to like take the printer through the window just like right there oh because she was she was like driver's side is on the curb yeah i

guess they were like right next to each other he would have had to get off the curb and walk around and he refused to because it was curbside service he can't get off the curb and so this this box a printer box i pretty big. I mean, it has to fill the entire size. I think that's what she said she got. But yeah, just kind of funny, just quick story. Can you imagine, like, they buy, like, a washer dryer. Can't leave the curb.

Can't get it in the truck bed. I'm just going to, like, you know, Olympic power lift this thing up in there. Yeah, get some sort of trampoline system involved lower it down from the top it's a 70 inch tv but you put uh go in the trunk and i can't really reach the trunk very easily so can we just go through the back window like there's no way that's their actual policy but it's just fascinating that someone like held true to the curbside so well i have heard like like at target you always say like where you if you want in the trunk or whatever um target has it down if you're dude target knows yeah very smooth process yeah it's the best one by far but i've never heard of the nope can't get off the curb yeah that's something else just

kind of funny it was a fun voicemail to get huh that's great i want to give a quick shout out to everyone posting their spotify raps wrapped thank you me. Yeah. It's just awesome to see how many minutes people are listening to us and how proud they are to post about us. I always think that's amazing. I don't take that lightly. You put on your Instagram story, us, I don't care if it's a gene shorts video, your Spotify wrapped or whatever. I think that's awesome. It's really, really fun. Yeah. To see, I actually screenshotted just a few. I'm sure we're going to get a ton more because this is the first day that it kind of came out. Right. Um, but, uh, just a few quick comments from people. I don't know what I would have done without you guys this year. Um, y'all got me through a tough pregnancy, tough delivery. Um, and now y'all are getting me through motherhood. Well, she said, you were

there for me when I'm not allowed. Yeah, I'm not allowed to reach to, yeah. I can only reach through the driver's window. So, well, Caitlin, you have your leg all the way up still. So that's great for you. Yeah, what if you're a delivering doctor? You know, I was like, I can't go past the canal. Sorry. As far as I go.

What an amazing and hilarious blessing y'all have been. I can't wait to see what you do next. Let's see some other ones uh spotify rap just came out and i found out that i listed 44,623 minutes of the ghost stories podcast thanks for giving me a laugh literally every day this past year 44,000 seems like a lot ghost stories podcast kept me the most entertained this year love jake and brad and everything they're building. Best podcast ever. Southwest black bean soup yields four to six. Oh wait. So anyway, I, there was just a few of them, but it was just really fun to see how many hours is that? I meant to, before I got on here, Scott, maybe you can do it.

Maybe it's too crazy, but I was going to add up how many hours, if you just listened to our episode once, how many, how many minutes that would have been? Because I guarantee you 44,000 minutes, they're listening to more than just our new stuff, right? That is 733 hours, which is how many days? How many days? I'm just curious. Wow. I just, hold on. Five by 24. Well, Scott's doing that. Um, this all reminded me of something in the book that we are both reading 30 and a half i forgot it i meant to bring it with me a text i forgot 30 and a half days basically a month

straight so like close to 10 of their year was spent with us on in the background that's pretty wild and the crazy thing is i think i saw something else yeah you saw someone with who 56 i think. Yeah. You saw someone with who? 56, I think. 56. Yeah, Scott, do you want to share your little Spotify rap fun fact? Guys, you'll never believe this. I looked at my Spotify rap and realized I was in the top 0.1% of

Martin Garrix listeners. Yikes. I was like that with Surfaces last year. I was 0.05%, I think. Jeez. I was so proud of it. Those one percenters you know yeah exactly i dm'd surfaces last week to see if they wanted to play at my wedding that's fun i dm'd forest just because i knew we had mutual friends i dm'd him one time and that would be legendary he was building a house i was like do you want some furniture for this house i'm a huge fan

didn't hear back yeah he's probably too busy making bobs. And bop, and bop. And bop hands. Courtney Crenshaw, do your thing. I don't know if you still listen. Luke Crenshaw, do your thing. Luke Crenshaw, one of you Crenshaws,

see if they want to play at our wedding. It's actually going to be so expensive. Probably shouldn't. But I'll pay for it. Brad will pay for half. Nope.

All. Thank you. Go fund me. Big gift. Yeah. Crowdfunded, like the chosen. I was going to say, I learned in the book that we are both supposed to be reading. I'll get there. I'll get there. thank you i'll go fund me big gift yeah um crowdfunded like the chosen i was gonna say

i learned in the book that we are both supposed to be reading i'll get there i'll get there i promise i listened to a daryl eves uh interview i have been consuming so much content like that love it um anyway one of the things i learned in the book which is unrelated to what the book is but and we're talking the concept of time i'm gonna remember this for the rest of my life it's hard to imagine how much a billion is compared to a million dude right you know it's just like oh that's that's another big like when someone's a billionaire like yeah they're rich there's nothing close to a millionaire this is how you could picture it for the rest of your life the right million no a million seconds is about 12 days okay a billion seconds is 31 years that's wild

isn't that awesome? That's the difference in a million and a billion. Wow. That's insane. Yeah. That still doesn't, it's still hard to comprehend. It just shows you that it's crazy different.

It's way easier to digest that than like they're a billionaire versus a millionaire though. Yeah. That's what was crazy. When I went to minor league pickleball, I hung out with a billionaire. Like that is insane to think about what about a billionaire spotify wrapped looks like who are billionaires listening to probably jay-z you think they have time yeah yeah yeah good for them uh yeah probably probably jay-z i don't know uh i think what What? Hove. Chia. I think they listen to Ghostrunners and correct opinions.

And do less God bless if they get through those already. Do you have anything else before s'mores? Do you want me to say something while you look? I have too many notes. I need to like clean them up. You should have a note called podcast and it's all the things you want to talk about on the podcast. Of course, of course, of course.

I know. I'm sorry. It's a great idea. I have all the jingles written down. I have all the s'mores ideas written. Anyway. Oh, not really. I have, I'll just tease everybody.

Ready for this tease? I have a great new business idea and I don't have the capacity to fulfill it, but I would love to, uh, help somebody start it. So if you are somebody young, maybe a senior in college this year, and you're looking to maybe start a business next year, what's the industry? Um, sir, it's a service industry of sorts i want in good jake and i have a great business idea for you 90 of all businesses are service based oh and this one is the best of the best honestly it is a great idea for business i'm sure there's versions of it out there right now i feel teased man my interest is very p you're peaked yeah i want to start a business okay then uh we'll talk after this okay dm me though i i seriously think it's a really good idea i just i i can't do it myself

we have too many other things going on i know because i i have my thing which scott would love even more than your thing that i want to start which thing you know oh the thing i don't know this guy would like it more than anyone. The trucks? Remember the trucks? What is the trucks on? The, uh, uh, I'm nervous.

There's been so much to do. There's been a ton of work for this Ghostrunners trip in Florida. Getting that all ready. Getting the website ready. Doing all that. And then on top of... Videos don't just happen. You've got to write videos.

You've got to play videos. You've got to talk to each one of these editors. You've got to have these conversations. Tax. Legal. Oh, that's the fun stuff right there. Yeah. It has been a lot. But I antsy i'm antsy antsy to work it's so funny because i said that to jake and you're like dude that's exactly

maybe if Jake had better picks, then Scott wouldn't have gotten so many. You can, I, you can philosophize that however you want. I will be willing to take as much or as little blame as you want. I think I texted you guys today. I said,

Okay, I'll agree with that. I had written down when your wife walks down the aisle, I lost it. Oh, a little specific. Yeah, I see. Bradley, Brad cried. Oh, I cried so hard. Because we didn't do a first look. Do you know about this?

Yes. Okay, sorry. I don't know. I filmed like 20 weddings. Oh, okay, okay. Jake, do you know what a first look is? Okay. Unless it's like something in sheet music

you ever seen a first look talk to your obgyn about it uh no no no i'm not going there guys uh i love the idea of a man thinking that he needs an obgyn maybe i'll put that in something someday where do i yeah where do i go for my obj and how often should my appointments be apart um anyway we didn't do a first look so i yeah saw her walking down the aisle it's the first thing i mean i it was amazing it was like euphoric so i highly recommend runners high you got a standards high i got oh just a husband high yeah highly recommend no first look i i know i think i do want that but you know what i also want is everyone to have a good time and for there to not be an hour and a half long cocktail

hour because we have to go take a bunch of pictures yeah that's fair i want it to be a very efficient day where everyone has fun the whole time dude but don't don't put that in front of that it's hard i love people and i want them to have a good time and people have fun at the cocktail hours oh yeah okay oh i hire a magician to kind of entertain everyone there you go that's what you were saying that's what i was getting to yeah okay anyway good thank you uh good answer on his wedding day yeah on his wedding day scott do you feel like you're just gonna cry like the whole day yeah maybe cried like five times a day i propose see what the wedding has for me wow

i've seen you cry once in my life do you remember when it was it was when scott thought a turkey trot was when i've seen you cry out of not laughter once in my life probably when i had to say bye to all the kids at k-life yeah yeah that night was so sweet yeah it was very sad that was great thanks i enjoyed it i thought you did a good job of yeah getting in touch with your emotion thanks go ahead scott okay my first draft picked is the birth of your child cool cool oh this shows how dumb i am i didn't even write that down well i mean yeah that you didn't think about that yeah that's why scott let you pick first i guarantee you not much to elaborate on that i just feel like that's a moment that it's pretty dang acceptable for a man to cry when

you hold your baby for the first time. How'd you how'd you cry? What kind of cry are we talking? I actually don't think I cried. OK, all right. So it's just me and Jake. Why would you admit that? I mean, it's one thing for me to say a wedding day, even though I haven't had a wedding.

OK, technically, I haven't cried. The question was acceptable reasons for a man to cry, not when have you cried. Why would you admit that? Hey, you can talk. 0.1% Martin Garrix listener. You can talk to Sam. I'm notorious for like, I do not cry. I think I've heard you talk about that.

Dude, you used to cry all the time as a kid. You got it all out. Maybe I've grown out of that. I just don't.'t i don't cry maybe she says it's because i don't have a heart maybe that's why oh my gosh that's not true you you are one of the most emotional people i know yeah you just are very positive um yeah no i i just don't cry but i would say that is a very acceptable reason for a man to i just i think honestly i was just like happy and like in disbelief at what i just witnessed, like the miracle of childbirth and then the whole, like just holding a child. I was like, Oh my gosh, like, this is crazy. I was like too stunned to

cry almost. Oh, I was, I mean the, the process, like watching your wife go through so much labor, like literally like, and like seeing her like like succeed you know like seeing it come out across the finish line you did it like i'm so proud of you like i was like crying for her sake of like i'm so proud of how amazing that would be awesome and then also like i love this thing that i've never seen until two seconds ago i mean it's just like magical like it's i'm feeling a little bit right now yeah i'm picturing myself there it's just a culmination of so many things yeah and then it's like i have this responsibility and it's this wonderful oh it's you're gonna love it dude i already love it yeah i'm thinking about it that's awesome thank you um good good kind of like spanking your kid where it's like they

are crying and they're in pain but you know you love them it's like you see i don't think i don't i'll try to tell you more about your parallels here just like there are tears involved but it's not out of uh pain without love oh i guess like you're talking about like your wife being the she'll be like crying in pain but it's because she's doing this thing let me find a different one yeah is it yeah, yeah. Is it like when... Is it like you're in a gas station? I got this. All right. It's like when you open a jar of pickles.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Dill. But you don't actually quite open the jar up and you say, can you get it? I mean, then they open it up all the way. You're like, well, I did some of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it.

Is it like that? I think so. I totally get the analogy fun fact my dad is it like okay go ahead no you my dad loved the pickle the pickle trick he would be like oh brad i don't think i can get this oh and now i can't wait to do it with hattie i think hattie's genuinely too weak to still like be able to barely turn it you would get it like pretty much all the way open so anyway that's like dad say another one that my dad does that i have started doing maybe you do something similar uh after they brush their teeth i pretend like i'm blinded by the teeth like

oh no they're too bright they're too bright and then i then I added my own wrinkle. I put glasses. I put sunglasses on. I just go, oh, I got my glasses on. But they can take it back off. So Bo runs up to me and takes off the glasses. No, no. I'm going to try that one. I'm going to put that one into play.

It's a great motivator for him to brush their teeth. Dude, I was talking to Will Severance. Because I was making fun of his suit at the wedding. Because it was a black suit, basically. I was like, dude, this is not even navy. Not only is he the wrong shade shade this is a black suit he's like no it's my frank suit i was like what does your frank suit mean he was like every night that we have bath time at home uh i become a character no way named frank he puts on a suit he puts on just like the the jacket there's no shirt underneath just the blazer and he's like frank the bath guy and he comes in and he's this bath time character.

It sounds awesome. Because he said there's all these running bits. Like every time he's holding a new object. Oh, yeah. And that object somehow like it falls and finds its way into the tub. And part of it is every time he will like lose his balance and actually hit the lights and turn the lights off. Oh, nice. Frank's a really like, you know, foolish guy.

He's clumsy. He's a clumsy guy. That's amazing. I love that the suit he's clumsy he's a clumsy guy that's amazing i love that the suit he wore to a wedding has been like probably covered in bath water yeah really maybe frank better be careful man that's amazing i love that all right well i think those are two really really solid first picks i'm gonna go sad route and just be real with us real quick i think an acceptable time to cry is when you lose a loved one. Yep.

Have that written down. I just, I obviously you're a terrible person if you're like, why are you crying right now? That is a very acceptable reason. Um, and I'm going to go, I guess more,

more fun now. Um, and say, Hmm. Ah, there's so many fun ones or so many good ones. Uh, when you watch

It's a Wonderful Life specifically, I want to go with that specifically. I, I have not cried very many. I'm starting to cry more

in movies because I think when you're a dad, you just feel things differently. But yeah, I watched that for the first time like three years ago and I was like, I,

I just let it go. I was like, I don't, I think I want to cry and i cried and it was i'm gonna let it go i'm gonna open up the governor here yeah yeah yeah turn off the governor open up the floodgates uh yeah so it's a wonderful i mean it's just yeah it's it's a great great movie so never seen it i recommend it yeah it holds up over time so those are my two picks okay my next pick is when you laugh so hard you cry oh i didn't think about that yeah did it earlier pretty acceptable i would say i think uh if yeah i i mean you guys know i love laughing i don't know i made my cry but i know there's been several times since i've been joining you

guys where i have cried laughing right yeah and i just think that's that's pretty fun when something makes you laugh that hard i mean yeah of course it's acceptable yeah i guess that's the that's the s'mores is when it's acceptable so i cried laughing earlier i felt accepted by you guys when i was doing it yeah i don't feel like that's like the only thing i'll say is i don't feel like that's like a controversial pick like it's like but but then again he doesn't have to be i don't think crying on the when your kid is born is controversial yeah you're right that's the whole point of this it's more is when it's acceptable so you're right i i know i know go ahead all right um my next one is going to be uh plucking a nose hair oh that'll get the eyes watering that'll

force that'll force tears out of your eyes yeah you can't help it yeah anything like that i mean even sometimes like i've had i know this isn't telling me what i said but like i've had like a zit underneath this like what do you even call this the thing that the separator between the nostrils yes nostrum yeah nostrum nostrodomus i've had like a little pimple right there and you try to get in and you start squeezing and oh the tears start flowing dude i call this area right here like you have a zit right there i call it a no wind zit because there is no way to lose lose yes there's no way it's like dude thanks for saying it like tell me the last time you popped a zit

like above your upper lip that didn't result in like a bloody mess super painful and like a scar for like or a scab for like four days yeah anywhere directly under the nose i mean even now it just feels like sensitive yeah it can really bring the tears out very acceptable time for a man to cry very acceptable uh what about if you plug your nose hair on your wedding day while your wife is walking down the aisle yeah i mean i did a first look at a first pluck first look so plucking a nose hair uh my other one is going to be uh your dog dying yep dog passing away i i wrote that one as well but i didn't want to do a losing the loved one and losing yeah like two like negative ones like all right bro like yeah yeah so yeah i mean

doesn't matter how many times they get out of the electric fence and get hit by a car on the highway when your dad says hey it happened again yeah you're gonna cry it happened again we shouldn't have named it lucky yeah yeah shouldn't have named it che. Yeah. Shouldn't have named it Chevy. Turns out it's not as funny when this happens. Yeah, there's no... I think I'll be a dad and I'll be a 50-year-old dad and when my dog dies, I'll still cry.

You know what I mean? That's my dog. Yeah. Scott? Scott, have you ever cried at losing a dog? No. Okay.

You probably really had one dog. It was Roxy. She had to get put down, but I was already pretty grown at that point. What about Topper? Did not cry when he left the house. He also didn't die. You popped some champagne. You did not drink it.

Yeah. We were popping bottles in the house when Topper left. All right. Go ahead, Scott. Okay. Number three pick is when you achieve something you have worked extremely hard for that's too vague give me a good i will tell you ruling i mean that was so different than any of my answers that yeah i'll let that through i don't

know you got something similar i would say something something in your career i i'll tell you this first time i win a 5-0 pickleball tournament no i might cry no you won't not in your daughter's birth but at the 5-0 my daughter my daughter's birth i was feeling different things uh what does that mean i just think i think if you put some if you put hours and hours and hours into something and then you finally achieve whatever goal you'd set out to achieve. Like maybe nine months or so of something. And all that work pays off. I feel like that that could be a time to to cry. Think about like an actor, you know, that like Matthew McConaughey wins his first Oscar after several years.

I'm pretty sure he cried during that acceptance speech. I could see if you have to give a speech about it, I could see myself crying. But I feel like anything you do at a 5-0 pickleball no like if I have to if I have to address people and really like talk about the culmination of it yes maybe then I would but just to achieve it in that moment it's so gradual yeah if you have to work at something for a long time it's gonna take you years and you just like for instance like the comedy special that was a big night for me but it had taken so long to get there that it wasn't like just oh boom all of a sudden i'm doing comedy i don't know yeah did you cry after the first like you know did you ever cry happy tears like before you're like oh my gosh

i'm doing a stand-up comedy show right now i don't even think it crossed my mind there's different types of emotions but hey we don't have to be the same dudes no no no i don't accept think it crossed my mind. There's different types of emotions. But, hey, we don't have to be the same dudes. No, no, no. I don't accept it. It's not acceptable to cry at that time. I'm just kidding. Man, I hope it's filmed when Scott cries after we're in a 5-0. Oh, my God.

We would die. We would die crying. It's like Michael Jordan crying, like holding the trophy, and his dad is there. Because his dad just died. I got my paddle and I'm just cradling it, crying. Cradle cry. That's awesome. When did I win my first 5-0

tournament? Not even like when I win the APA championship or something. PPA. Sorry. You know what this is right now? This is the Jaguars after they won. Yes. Just getting beat by 45. No way. My pick was not a five.

It was achieving something monumental. This is Trevor Lawrence throwing four picks. Okay. Okay. That was a good pick. I don't care what you guys see what the voters think. Okay. Something monumental. was a good pick. I don't care what you guys think. We'll see what the voters think. Achieve something monumental. That is the pick.

Oh, achieve something monumental. Yes, what did you write down? Not achieving something that you worked hard for. That's the same thing. You love getting nitpicked. Don't look at me for a rule. I don't care. Come on, Jake.

Something monumental. Oh, it's monumental. Okay. Oh, that was monumental. Okay. Oh, that was monumental. Okay. My next pick is going to be, I'm going to go the Jesus Duke route and just say when you are experiencing, you know, a great moment of worship. Yeah.

That was going to be one of my picks. Not what I thought you were going to say after the first part of that sentence. What did you think I was going to say? When you're saved? I have my answer. Okay. Okay. In that case, I'm going to say just just when you connect just spiritually with the Lord and

you just are like, man, it's unexplainable joy and comfort. And yeah, it's just wonderfully... Yeah. I have cried many times at church. When Rachel and I went down to Oklahoma City and we had those acai bowls, no, I'm just kidding. We went to church. And when he worked so hard to make this, we went to church and it was a... Monumental moment.

It was Baptism Sunday at the church. And it was a church we don't even go to. We've never even been before. Yeah. But it was, I mean... Yes. Amazing. And just watching the jubilance and the people,

the parents, the kids. Oh, man. The music was so good the way they did it was perfect and like rachel uh grant's wife lauren like they were in tears i was feeling emotional and i was like i don't even go i don't know these people oh but i know where they're going yeah exactly and that's uh we could share that together absolutely and i think it's just so so encouraging when especially children but anybody proclaims their faith yeah publicly it's just such a,

uh, yeah, great time. So, but Brad's answer was worship. It's different. Experience a great moment of worship to the Lord. I'm going to be specific here.

We're not, it's like a Michael Scott newspaper headline. When you achieve something you work hard for is literally exact same amount of, uh, words. So one, two, three,

four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six five six yes this is our childhood jay okay okay and then my last one um i'm gonna say i'm gonna say it's acceptable to cry anytime that you see your parents crying oh i yeah i just especially my dad because he doesn't cry very often, but yeah. Anytime

my mom wells up with emotion and she's really proud of me, then I get like emotional towards her too. I'm like, Oh gosh, here I go. I can't do that. So when you watch your parents, when you see your parents cry, I think it's acceptable to cry, cry back. Yeah. Like, Hey, cry at me. I'll cry back. It may, maybe it's more of just i'm saying when you see your parents cry but i think maybe it's more just universally acceptable most of the time if somebody else is expressing emotions towards you and they're crying it's hard not to reciprocate yeah that a little bit let me ask you this when was the first time when you were looking at your dad after he had won a 5-0 pickleball tournament gosh he's won so many

you probably don't cry after the first one. No, yeah. That's why I said the first one. That's going to be an all-time Scott line. I was like, I need specifics. You're like, okay, I'll give you one. 5-0 pickleball tournament, buddy. How's that?

Trying to think of something I've been working really hard for. Okay. All right. Those are my picks. Scott, your last one. Okay. My last pick is when you are listening to music that either is nostalgic or reminds you of somebody that you might have lost or something that music that just, or maybe like spiritual

music. So you're thinking that my headline was terrible, but you're're going i was trying to write this down when you're listening to music you can just write songs music i don't know whatever you want to do listening to a song that connects like a song that connects with you yes okay okay example this is actually super random uh when martin garrick yeah when the beat drops it was such an incredible experience and it went boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom there's something about it that beat drop was just so fire that i had to bring water out of my eyes go ahead scott uh you me isaac and luke were playing i was at stone canyon i think for my birthday i think it was i was driving there and i got on this train

of like spiritual music and it was like songs that my mom used to listen to with me dude scott's mom passed away three years ago my mom passed away four years ago tomorrow actually wow um and dude the whole 45 minute drive i was just bawling it was wow it was intense i never know had to compose myself and play some golf wow huh yeah all right what i thought yeah so picking against scott there what kind of music is it it was just like it was like spiritual music mtc morgan tabernacle choir ah it wasn't it wasn't motab it was uh it was a motab it wasn't motab it was actually motown um my mom was a big soul yeah it wasn't motab c it was uh no it was it was another lds musical artist that my mom loved and listened to. And yeah. Gotcha. That's good.

Yeah. Okay. I remember your mom and I would listen to Boston a lot. Oh yeah. That was, that was what she, my mom was listening to like gospel music. She was listening to classic rock that she would ask us now guys,

what, what time signature is this song in? You remember that? Oh yeah. And it was always four, four. It was always, I don't know why she asked.

Is Boston more than a feeling? Yeah. Is that their song? Catchy song. Great song. Fun song. Who's he's closing time? Closing.

Not Boston. Somebody from like the 90s. Boston's old school. I just think that Boston, yeah, whatever. You ain't gotta go home, but you gotta get the heck out of here. Everything that's like blue collar is Boston. That'd be funny. That's what I was thinking.

I was like, it's a bar. I don't know. My last one, hard to choose. It's got bar. I don't know. My last one. Hard to choose. Got a lot of honorable men. She's in here, but I'm going to say saying goodbye. Kind of like you talked about when I had to say goodbye to all the K-Life kids. OK.

Or even just like a breakup. Oh, yeah. That's tough. Yeah. Especially when you're the one doing the breaking and especially when they don't see it coming. Oh, that is rough. Yeah. Been there a couple

times and it is not fun at all and i think it's a very acceptable time to show your emotions and to cry whether any type of like goodbye you have to say i mean you can just even be like moving away from your parents your family a breakup uh saying goodbye to a ministry you've been a part of did you cry when you left camp um i, I don't think I did. Yeah. Maybe that last summer. Cause I knew it was like the last dance. Yeah. Yeah.

And I think we all had like a moment where it was like, we knew it was the last dance for like a lot of us. Right. Right. Right. Like we're all going out on this one. Love it. Yeah.

Good. Okay. So, uh, Jake, uh, for acceptable reasons to cry, men to cry,

uh, on his wedding day, plucking a nose hair, dog dying, saying saying goodbye now that is some good headlines scott two words your child's birth laughing so hard that you cry when you achieve something you work hard for like monumental 5-0 pickleball listen to a song that connects with you okay and then brad um says losing a loved one, watching It's a Wonderful Life, experiencing a great moment of worship to the Lord, and when your parents cry. Good.

It could be anyone's game. Anyone's 5-0 game. Jaguars could win two in a row. That's all I can say. Travis Etienne might be doing some honorable mentions. You guys got something? I also had Proposal Day, but felt like it was too similar to Wedding Day because I cried a lot during that. Dude, I love that you cry, though. that just shows me like i don't know just

just yeah such a passion for her you know what i mean like yeah i just so many women reach out to me because when i posted about the engagement one of the photos is you could see there's a tear in my eye when i'm hugging rachel and it's funny how much that connects with women and they're like i love that you're able to show some tears behind the scenes jake just called me a woman but just plops and i drop okay take the picture right now yeah he fixed that post i also had dog dying in a movie but felt like that was too similar to dog dying like that's also pretty acceptable i would have loved if two of your four picks were that i got close i got close dog dying in a Have you heard? Have you heard Sparky Splattered? Dog dying in a podcast.

Yeah. I wrote, I also had funeral, but I feel like that was too close to losing a loved one. But I think even you could just be at the funeral attending it and that'd be an acceptable time to cry. Yeah. And then I also had salvation, but I feel like that was too close to like listening to worship. Yeah.

So all of my options were adjacent. Jason Jason's adjacent. You got them all. You, you've been hired out people. You've been hired Jason. All your options were Jason's. Dang. No, he had a ringers.

I had two. I just had like a movie or a TV show that makes you cry. Like captain Phillips made me cry. Oh yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Um, and then the other one I had was your sports, your favorite sports team winning a championship. I wrote that down, but I don't know if I agree with it to be honest. Like that was, I didn't include it in my top four. Cause I don't think I cried at any of our sports teams winning the championship. I definitely didn't cry at KU. And I don't think I cried at the chiefs

or the Royals. I think I wanted to cry a little bit when the chiefs won because we all remember we were in your basement yeah and i remember all the girls came down for the very end of it we knew the chiefs were going to win you and katherine were arm and arm i remember kevin and allison specifically were arm and arm in like four days before that i had just broken up what was you with kirsten i was like well that could have been nice she could have been here should have kept her around for the super bowl at least bad timing on my part i will say i will say i almost cried you remember uh the year before sammy watkins yeah whatever sammy watkins got a ball a thing of beauty um we lost to the patriots but we intercepted the ball and then they called when we intercepted that ball and tony romo was like uh i think the call is going to be on

offensive passenger fingers or something like that i started being like oh my gosh we're gonna go because the chiefs have been so bad our whole lives so i did i did get emotional for sure there um okay i i wrote down anytime because you know hey that didn't make it in the top four anytime huh anytime i think i think guys need to get more in touch with their emotions i cry 10 times more than katherine does i think i'm a crier good katherine's not i have a heart tell sam i have a heart um people tell me i look like a guy named john crier go on oh i see it. You're way better looking, though. I probably cry more.

When your first car gets towed away. You just got memories. I would have ridiculed that pick. These are so hard to predict. I love it. Keep going. Did you watch the Nuke get towed away? I don't remember.

No. The Nuke was my first car. Nuke it. Okay. This is unpredictable, so I'll have you fill in the blank. Going to a total way. I don't think, I don't remember. No, the new was my first car. Nougat. Um, okay. You, this is unpredictable. So I'll have you fill in the blank going to a mall.

I mean, Sam Goody and Cinnabon right there next to each other. Uh, and then Annie is right across the hall. Yeah. Mr. Bulky CBD. Oh,

Mr. Bulky dude. Oh my God. Mr. Bulky, like one pound for five 99 of any candy you want. Just fill up the bag. Going to a memorial, like a war memorial or something like that.

Like a vigil? No, like September 11th. I went to like that museum memorial. Or like, you know. Something that's like honoring fallen. Yes. Oh, they're so heavy and deep. And then your final.

Can I actually kind of pause right there? Does that also include the Titanic Museum in Branson? No. Okay, got it. Because I don't think it's. Is that where it happened? The actual memorial is just in the Atlantic Ocean. It does not get a lot of traffic.

All right. Sorry, what was your last one? And then the final. Your final. Exam. Honestly. I would cry a little bit. My last test.

If I were done with school. My last scantron. Your final varsity. I put varsity football game. But your final. When you lose. Or just. Yeah.

Yeah. It's your last game. Usually most of us do lose. But like. The last game. Just when you know like this is the last time I'm ever going to play with all my friends. Are you a grown man, though? Because that was kind of the s'more.

I would say I could vote. You were 18 as a senior? Yeah. Sure was, little guy. Sure was, pipsqueak. That's a really good one. Sure was, pipsqueak. Sure was, little boy.

Yeah, it's a special time. Yeah. You know, it's like the end of the season, but it's the end of an era it's the last time with the jersey scott and i grew up playing sports together and like you know we had a bunch of other friends that we played since first grade together and then it's like dude we're never gonna play sports again you're going to ku i'm going to k-state going to byu motab motab is so great i love any instance where someone quickly abbreviates something and you could tell it's part of their culture and you did not know that had like an abbreviation

absolute motab where there's like slang for anything just to hear other people who work the same company talk back and forth oh yeah like oh wow the terminology is just so funny right some people don't even call it motab choir they just call it the tab tab choir the tab i was tabbing on the way over here to golf can you believe it i was tabbing and i bawled my eyes out i had a wet tab today holy cow i'm not trying to i'm not trying to bag about my golf game i was just gonna say like don't make fun of i don't want anyone bagging about me for it i am bagging if you know what i mean anyway that's fun okay so vote on the facebook group thank you guys so much for always getting into those it's so fun we are about to lose our amount So vote on the Facebook group. Thank you guys so much for always getting into those.

It's so fun. We are about to lose our amount of space on the camcorder. So we're going to finish this up. Six minutes. I had a review all lined up because it's amazing, but I'm going to have to save it because I found another one that I feel like makes perfect sense for this episode. Oh, so I'm going to go ahead to Brad.

Missouri is way better than Kansas. I will admit What the frick I Am biased That's gonna be a great bleep. Please just no don't bleep it. Please don't bleep it. Please bleep it people don't like the bleeps Holy cow what all right we're out of time i will admit i am biased but you are too so don't read into that too much brad not only is missouri better to me but deep down you know it's better think about it your favorite sports teams are in which state missouri except for sporting kc but let's be honest that doesn't even count. Graham Zussi? Matt Beisler? Where did the greatest

frozen custard chop originate? Ibrahimovic? Missouri. Brad, you always make fun of people in western Missouri, but at least we have the people, we have people in the western half of our state. Boom, roasted. Yeah, we just have agriculture and farmers that feed the whole world. To Jake,

why did you pick Gabe? Why? I was so excited for your very underrated office lineup, but you picked Gabe. I love that you picked Creed and Nate, but you picked Gabe. I am disappointed. In all seriousness, these guys are genuinely great people.

Their humor is evident, but they show their genuine faith and love for God in every episode. As a former K country and K West camper. Let's go. That's awesome. I love the camp stories. Thank you guys for making a podcast

that brings joy every Monday and constantly setting a great example for everyone who listens. P.S. Scott needs to be on every podcast. That was from St. Louis fan. That was awesome. St.

Louis fan. I've also expressed, uh, at least privately, my remorse and picking Gabe. It was not the right choice and I do regret it. And, uh,

I don't know what got into me that day. I just, I, I hadn't got to the free throw line. You know, I was just trying to chuck up threes. And then shooting 30 footers. Yeah. It's not my game.
