Oh no! It's easy when you play with a bunch of rejects and a fat kid, Rodriguez. Shut your mouth, Phillips! What'd you say, crap face? I said you shouldn't be allowed to touch a baseball.

Yeah! Play ball! Alright. Hey, uh, welcome to Podcast 19. This is the Ghost Runners Podcast. I'm Jake. And. Play ball. All right. Hey, welcome to Podcast 19. This is the Ghost Runners Podcast. I'm Jake. And I'm Brad. And we are friends.

Yep. It's going to be a short podcast. Got to get home for lunch. You did say you have to be done by four. What do you have? Oh, it's a tentative four. Soft four. I have a pickup coming at five so i

didn't want to you know be recording a podcast to try to be professional right after coming to pick up a table yeah we are going to have a little photo shoot after this though correct yeah so we do need to take two minutes for that to take some pictures of these tables and that's exciting are you in these pictures or just of the product oh oh, oh, I was just no no no, sorry Oh, I guess I could be so I do need some material for the website But no it was just gonna be some quick Hey, take the pictures of these before we send them out that could be some maybe you're really missing out missing out on opportunities to be

Posing with your tables. Yeah, maybe that's why they're not selling as well as they probably could be. Because they're not seeing the body behind the table. Yeah. They've never seen you lay on it. Right. Saying like, I just put my elbow grease into this. Blood, sweat, and tears. Yeah. Yeah.

Right. Maybe, man. I don't know. Maybe you're onto something there. I got dinner with my grandparents over in Lee's Summit a couple nights ago. Yeah. Maybe we should get their body sprawled out on the table. Not i was going with it but i like a good thought okay uh my grandma was kind of sharing this story one time uh i guess my aunt her uh other daughter who's not

my mom yep uh i guess one time i know how that works okay yeah do you have is that how families work for you i don't know if that's just my family yep okay um i guess she asked her after that she'd recently like you know moved in with her husband or something or just like hey how do i clean the inside of an oven and my grandma was like oh you're gonna need elbow grease and my i guess my aunt was just like all right where do i where i get that like where is that home depot exclusive to home depot or they saw that lowe's an ace as well and uh yeah i don't even think my grandma knew it was funny. But I was like, oh, that's – she was just, like, sharing this story that – I guess she probably did, but it was like – I was like, oh, grandma, that's funny.

That's a good – that's good that that happened. Elbow grease, baby. Yeah. That's funny. It reminded me – we used to mess with the freshmen on our baseball team in high school because the freshmen – at least baseball, there's a lot of equipment that goes with baseballs, and they were always in charge of making sure it got on the bus. And to our away games, they were just always in charge of equipment.

So plenty of opportunities to kind of mess with them there of just, like, making up products that don't exist, but, like, making them freak out that maybe they forgot to pack it. So we would do stuff like, Hey, Kyle, did you get the left-handed bat? You know, and if you say it stern enough, it doesn't matter what you say. It's just like, oh, crap. I've never even heard of that.

I'll go check. So we did left-handed bat. It was a good one. The box of curveballs. Nice. Probably the most convincing one is the batter's box. Oh, yeah. Because it is a baseball term.

Step in the batter's box. Yeah, get in the batter's box. It's like, wait. Okay, I've been playing baseball my whole life. I'm almost positive I know what this is. But box, I don't know. Maybe it batter's box. Yeah, get in the batter's box. It's like, wait. Okay, I've been playing baseball my whole life. I'm almost positive I know what this is. But box? I don't know. Maybe it is a box.

Maybe there's a separate batter's box that I have not been bringing. Maybe it's underneath all that dirt. Oh, yeah. It's the batter's box. Oh, yeah. Pleasant Hope doesn't have their own box. We have to bring a batter's box there. We have no money.

Oh, man. That's good. Yes, that was always fun, messing with them, just making up stuff. Did y'all do that at camp, too? Ward Weeby always did that. I don't think so. Really? No, we're not very fun, man. That's good. Yes, that was always fun, messing with him, just making up stuff. Did y'all do that at camp, too? Ward Weeby always did that. I don't think so. Really? No, we were not very fun, apparently.

No, you were fun. Maybe we were just too nice. I don't know. Just too honest. What would he say? The smoke shifter was a good one. Asking the maintenance team, or the maintenance team would, like, you know, maybe, like, you know, first year counselor, maybe some kids.

He was like, hey, I'm all done in the kitchen. Like, is there anything I can help with? Okay. We're going to need a smoke shifter for the party. No one's gotten that yet. And then like, I don't know if you have the right attitude and personality. People don't want to even question you. Like, all right.

Yeah. I'll help. Okay. I'm nervous about that guy. I was nervous to even ask for help. Right. You know, so I will find the smoke shifter and then you just send them on this spree of just like asking everyone, Hey, AJ said we needed the smoke shifter. Like, what is that on this spree of just like asking everyone hey aj said we

needed the smoke like what is that do i is that just wind what i don't know is that something we actually need to get from somewhere what is the smoke shifter well i have the smoke shifter but do you have the smoke like you have the smoke to put in it we gotta you gotta have yeah smoke to shift no i didn't didn't have any kind of experiences like that i don't know you had plenty of other good experiences though i did i have i've had good ones in life mostly good i would say i've had a few bad but we're not gonna dwell on those how's this week been um it's been kind of i was gonna say bad that's not really true i've just been sick you know i've been sick um you know that you've always known that um so i've just been like laying very low, like to the ground. Yeah. Just like trying

to get out of the smoke, you know, burrowing, get low, but below the smoke line or just, yeah, just, we were, I was, we were both kind of sick last week when we recorded this, which is funny because I feel like it did not reflect on our podcast. We were feeling okay. It was like, it's like the Jordan flu game. Um, we both had one, but yeah, coming back from Texas that the ragweed pollen count was high. I think maybe that was it. Maybe it was just allergies. I don't know. That's always like a slap in the face though. Like, especially like my wife, like whenever Catherine's like, I don't think you're sick. I think you used to have allergies. It just feels like you're just a wimp at that point. Like if all I have is allergies, I should be able to get over this,

but I don't feel like doing anything, you know? She's like, no, you just have allergies. Anyway, but yeah, this week it's been fine.

I've, I've gotten this order done and out, which is always exciting because you make money whenever things leave your shop. And that's how business gets done. Yes. Some companies still know how business gets done there's the quote here's your headline yeah it's like michael's like here's your headline that he says like that

very long which by the way that's a great like um just like format for just like any kind of mc'ing i've used that before just like it's like an opening joke even just like so happy to be here like this is great like if this was like a a newspaper article like i would just say you know and then just go on for like three sentences it's funny it gets a laugh every time you know just the uh yeah anything anytime that you can like overextend a joke even if it's not that funny of a joke the fact that it's just super super overextended is funny, I think. Yeah. So, yeah, week's been just fine. I don't know.

Are you feeling better now? I'm feeling, yeah, I'm feeling better. I'm feeling like 80%. Like, I still have a little something up in the septic. Nasals? Septic system. Septum? What's the sub-hom?

Septic system. That's not it. I think that's down low. But anyway, uh yeah feeling better um how about you uh well you look good it looks like you showered recently oh i shower a lot i'm a big shower guy you are more than me yes probably how many times you you shower every day no are you serious no or yes i am serious i don't have a reason to i I don't get dirty. Oh, I think I feel dirty every morning. Oh, really?

When I wake up. I just like... We just have different thresholds, I guess. Maybe. I don't know. Yeah, I shower at least once a day, if not twice. You'll sometimes shower twice a day. Oh, yeah.

You're also getting sweatier with the way you work than I am. Oh, yeah. If I'm working, for sure. That makes sense. If I'm doing manual labor, I'm always... Yeah, I'm always showering at night as well before i go to bed that makes sense what if you were sitting in a computer for a lot of your day do you think you would shower as much i just yeah probably at least to wake me up that's the other it's funny i like

take a shower to wake me up but then at night i think it also calms me down like which is one of those things is wrong yeah either it's not waking me up very well in the morning or at night. It's also waking me up and I shouldn't do it just for that purpose. But, Oh yeah. At least once a day. No, good for you.

That's awesome. Thanks man. That's great. Yeah. Um, my week's been, uh, good though.

I, um, what did I do? I've been busy with Trey. We've shot a lot of videos, um, which has been great. Made my own video.

That went well. Um, yeah, I did. did yeah people like that one just uh such a simple format just sarcastic advice it's nothing nothing that novel right that people loved it um got some great uh responses and the dms from certain people yeah anytime you make something in the realm of day. Oh, an update on the Facebook dating thing yesterday. It finally hit as far as like matches from what I could tell. I am the only guy on Facebook dating in Kansas city. Wow. Like, uh,

I say that kind of jokingly, but like, yeah, it's just like a lot of dough is for you to lot of, yeah, a lot of options. Um, which is fine. That's all to your Simba. A lot of knowledge, which is fine.

A lot of knowledge to your Simba. A lot of knowledge. But yeah, it's fine. Where my knowledge at? A new segment. Maybe we can start now. I was thinking about doing good idea, bad idea. I just have a few things that I've been thinking about doing in my life.

And you're a very wise guy. Natural transition from you giving advice on the internet to me giving you advice on the podcast. Perfect. Yes. Perfect transition. Um, so good idea, bad idea. First one, um, buying a $600 special machine. Just kidding. Um, bad idea. Have you had one of his lattes yet? Yes, but I was sick, so I couldn't taste it. But it was like I was so dead that night that I needed just a pick-me-up, and it was like, this is great, man. Like I'm thirsty for friendship more than anything. I'll just come over for that.

No, he brought it to me. Oh, wow. At church. It was at Sunday night church. Oh, nice. That's awesome. Yep. Youth group.

If you're a little lost, two episodes ago, our friend Isaac spent $600 on an espresso machine, and that's most of what the episode was about. just had lunch with him and he's like yeah i heard you guys made fun of me again on the last episode so now we have three episodes in a row the uh the ghost hunters podcast is just turning into roasting our friend isaac and talking about antonio brown which we will get to on this episode probably two of our most important things in life though yeah i mean yeah mean, yeah, very important to us. Okay.

Anytime that you have something that happens more than twice in my family, at least two years in a row, we call it a tradition. So it's now a tradition to roast Isaac tradition. So we like to espresso ourselves by roasting. Nice. Roasting his beans. Okay.

Good idea. Bad idea. Yep. Um, telling a no at is this a bad idea to ask a friend if she recently got lip injections oh very bad okay I think I thought you might say that or actually okay you go first I I don't think it's a friend why don't you okay I'll go first. Is it your sister? No, be honest.

Not my sister. This is a friend. Well, before I even go into who she is, here's what I think. One, I think if she did get lip injections, she would like that someone noticed, right? And she'd be like, oh, I did. Thank you for noticing. They make a difference. Or let's say she didn't get lip injections. Oh, she wants, she, she's like, Oh wow. But this serum that I'm using is great.

Or like the, the, yeah, whatever. My lips look so good. That looks like I did get injections. Win, win. I don't think you should, you should be commenting on other women's lips very often. I don't know if i ever have before because quite honestly i didn't even really i noticed them okay i was like this girl's i've never noticed her upper lip look like that so it's got to be you know the fact that i've never noticed and now i'm noticing it i'm like something had to have surgically happened i think i'm curious so i was wondering good idea bad idea to bring it up and ask her. So I think best case scenario is she says, yes, I did. Oh, that's awesome.

It's a little embarrassing that I went that far into having to augment my face. Oh, well, it looks great. That's why I noticed. Yeah. Worst case scenario, she says either she says yes, but she's just like i i wish you wouldn't have said anything because that's weird yes and because it's like why are you checking out my lips i think if someone is willing to get you know uh what's it called it's not like reconstructive uh cosmetic if you're willing to get cosmetic plastic surgery you're you you want people to be looking at you.

Yeah. But I don't know if you want people to like bring it up outwardly. Talk about it. And if she says no, either you said, I don't know. I just, the answer is no. Like you should not say anything. Okay. I don't know.

I would not say anything. Do you, are you the type of guy to tell someone if they have like food in their teeth yes okay what if you don't know them very well man katherine's probably gonna listen to this and say brad this is so off brand for you um what if i don't know them very well yeah um because i'll tell anyone they have food in their teeth just because i know how it feels not a stranger to realize later you have food in your teeth that sucks you wouldn't tell a stranger you wouldn't tell the worker at chick-fil-a hey by the way you have a huge lollipop in your mouth i might not opposite the time but i might because people like to know that stuff really so it's like a big thing like i advocate this is this is where it's going to be

so uh hypocritical of me because I advocate anytime you have a compliment to tell somebody or any, anytime you say something nice, like if I say to you, Hey Jake, I think that Isaac's shirt today is like, that's a really cool shirt. He's got like anytime Catherine would say anything like that to me, I would always say you should tell them that. Yeah. Because I love, I think it's always great to compliment people. It's in the office when, uh, I think she's a great salesman or whatever. I would never say it to her face. Why would you never say it to her face? Um, I, so I think, I think it's great. I just think that body parts are a little, uh, like I teeth. If I were telling my wife, Hey, I think that my friend Allison has

really cool shoes. Oh, you should tell her that. Okay. Yeah, you're right. wife, hey, I think that my friend Allison has really cool shoes. Oh, you should tell her that. Okay. Yeah, you're right. Hey, Allison, cool shoes. Okay. Hey, Allison. Or I think maybe Allison got a lip job.

No, I'm talking about food in the teeth right now. Oh, we're back to the teeth. That's where, where did you go? To the lips. Because I was trying to say. I asked you, would you tell a, are you the type of person who tells people that have food in their teeth? You said, this is a little off brand for me. No, because I was already saying something before you interrupted me. No.

When did we go back to lips? We've always been on the lips. No, we were teeth. A moment on the teeth, forever on the hips is what lips. We were talking about teeth. I promise you interrupted me. Run it back. I interrupted you to say I would tell a stranger.

Yes, and I was saying something. And I was talking about teeth. I don't know. Maybe you're right. I would tell a stranger never about the teeth, probably. Would you tell your friends they have food in their teeth? Yes. Okay.

And I would expect reciprocation from both. As a stranger, I would just be polite and just not care let someone else tell them or just yeah yeah gotcha but do you have more to say about body parts no i don't want to fight with you anymore okay i was so lost i really thought i was like that's why you said body parts i was like teeth um but i let you keep going i was wanting to hear you out um lips are tough but also lips aren't that like they're not a super like sexualized body part what not for me i'm not looking at girls lips and becoming more or less attracted to them by their lips you'd be surprised man oh maybe that's weird take away somebody's mouth okay you take it away it's like yeah i'm not attracted to your arm but if you didn't have one it would be a little weird yeah shout out bethany

hamilton though i learned in kawaii i was swimming in the uh like the exact beach location where it all went down for the shark daughter that's always fun yeah hey you know that like super famous surfer that only has one arm because she surfed in this one place and got attacked by a shark. Yeah. You're doing the same thing right now. Someone told me afterwards, which is kind of fun. Oh, no. Yeah.

Did not see her out there, though. Oh, good. She probably doesn't come back there very often. She still lives in Kauai, apparently. But yeah, it's probably not surfing there. Point is, okay. Bad idea because it's opposite sex and it's a body part. If it were same sex or not a body part, it'd be okay.

Like if it were like, hey, did she get new sneakers? Yeah, hey, I like your sneakers. Or, hey, dude, did you get a lip surgery? Like if it's a man. I can ask a guy about his lips. I don't know. I have to ask Catherine what she would say about that. I also, well, never mind. I can ask a guy about his lips. I don't know. I have to ask Catherine what she would say about that.

Also, well, never mind. I'm just like a hyper optimist. I don't want to dog on people getting lip jobs, but I might. I don't know if I. I might indirectly right now. I don't even know if I have a single friend who's gotten a lip job. Or maybe they have been and I just haven't been noticing. Because I haven't been bringing it up. Fair enough.

Because it's taboo to bring up. I'm trying to change the climate of lip conversations in America bad idea okay that I did it earlier there for those reasons I'm out good idea bad idea buy the new iPhone what you have you have an ex a tin iPhone 10 it'd be bad idea two years old bad idea to get the new one bad idea I think that from what everything I've read the new one doesn't have very exciting updates Uh, let me let me rethink this a little bit though because you have a job where you use your camera More than the average person not that much though. Okay bad idea and not my phone camera. You're right

I do use a camera a lot right, right and you wouldn't use your phone camera in replace of replacement of your yeah i don't think so i don't think from what i understand the new iphone doesn't have that many cool things on it it's got a nicer camera like and wider stuff wider camera lens and stuff you can charge your eye or somebody else's phone or your headphones on it. Did you see that? I don't want them taking my juice. My apple juice. That's not your juice. You can't have my juice.

Get out of that juice. For real though. Stop squeezing me dry. I'm selfish with my, yeah. You think I'm just, is that how it works? Pass this around.

Is that how it works? Is that they take some of your battery? Oh, I assume that's how it works. I don't know. Actually, I haven't really looked into it for some reason. It's got to come.

I thought maybe they, there was like a reserve specifically for recharging your AirPods. And you could also use it for somebody else's phone. But maybe I'm wrong. I bet it comes from your battery. Get out that juice. The juice is loose. Yeah, I don't think it's that good of an idea. Okay.

What do you think? So the thing is, I pay... Also, it's how much money to buy it i was about to get into the financials right now i'm paying 41 a month for just this the phone aspect of my phone now and if i were to get the new iphone 11 pro it would also be 41 a month because it's based off of like 24 month payments oh you're doing the payment plan yeah so but but eventually your payments are going to end on your phone that you have now so yeah i'm eligible for an upgrade now but why why not just get a like rather than having to do payments at all just don't have payments right so yeah that's because you're not leasing it you're you're buying yeah you're just buying in 24 installments yeah yeah no just and you need a new phone i don't

think you need a new phone i don't think i need a new phone bad idea don't do it not until you need it then go in okay yeah i'll think about it and make sure you need what they are offering because they also have the xr and the xs that are going to be way cheaper now because that new phone is expensive yeah what was it something crazy uh like 1500 for like the biggest one isn't it because i saw somebody say like 256 oh i either get a macbook or i could get this new phone it is kind of crazy how expensive phones are getting and how cheap computers are getting macbooks aren't that cheap. Cheaper than a phone.

How much did you pay for your MacBook Air? That is crazy. That's a good point, yeah. My MacBook Air was cheaper than my phone. That doesn't even make sense. There you go. Hold on a second. Yeah, you're like, not that much. Why is that cheaper?

I mean, I guess, yeah, you use your phone so much more. But here's my... Supply and demand, man. You know, why is talking on the phone not better like why is it still like uh well because it's being done less to i guess now i don't even know which side of the argument i want to take because on one end sometimes it's still crazy to me that i can speak into this metal slash plastic thing. And then instantly someone, you know, in California can hear what I'm saying. I don't understand that. I do not

understand how that works. That's crazy. But also knowing the other technologies we have, it's crazy that I can still sometimes be like, oh, it's kind of like muffled, you know, like, you know, like it's kind of like, like whoa you know what i'm saying you're like yeah it's amazing i can do this but you know what every once in a while it's kind of hard to hear i know that's why it doesn't make sense but like if i can watch you know the summer olympics going on in rio brazil and 4k and i could see a volleyball game in my living room like okay if you accept those technologies, then why, if we're on the phone 15 minutes apart from each other,

why can I sometimes not hear you? That's where it's like, that's weird. I feel like, I guess here's what I'm trying to say. Phone talking capabilities is like not being updated as much as everything else. I don't think they're prioritizing it nearly as much as they're prioritizing data or yeah, all the internet side of phones. It's too bad. I like talking on the phone. I did it a lot today, it's too bad i like talking on the phone i did it a lot today actually i don't like talking on the phone actually which is weird because i

feel like we're pretty similar but you know i like talking on the phone i do it a lot when i'm driving um i get in moods where i'm like you know what i'll but i don't like let's talk yeah a lot of times i'll just let it go to voicemail and rather text them, which is such a millennial. Anyway, it really is. I was actually trying to work on a bit about that, about like when someone calls me, it's not even like,

do I answer? Just like, what's my excuse going to be? Like, I don't even question. Should I answer this or not? It's like, all right,

what am I going to tell them two minutes from now? What's my reason? I didn't answer. Uh, just got a shower. That one's good. You know, like,

what can I say that? Hey dude, I'm in class. What's up? I still shower that one's good you know like what can i say that hey dude i'm in class what's up i still have that one from college oh it's like a custom preset yeah why you can't answer i that's a i'm in class what's up that's a good one to still use yeah sorry i'm in class can't come to the phone uh okay um my last uh good idea bad idea go to a chief's game this year good idea, bad idea. Go to a Chiefs game this year. Good idea, bad idea. Good idea.

You think so? You think I should go to one? I thought about it for a little bit, though. You did. Because I thought the viewer experience at home is better than it's ever been. It's so good. You get great replay HD. You get to literally sit and eat whatever you want

for one quarter of the price, at least. Get some Chipotle right beforehand. Right. Feast on that. Oh, yeah. If you started a little bit late, you can fast forward through the commercials for a while. That's amazing.

I can easily check Twitter, my fantasy leagues. Right. You can be like, now what happened there? Let me, yeah, let me check Twitter. Let me, right. You can also, you know, flip to the other channel during commercials. You can hear the commentators.

Romo predict the future. It's very expensive these days to go to a Chiefs game. I was looking at that. Very expensive. Way more than I remembered. All those cons or all those things points against Chiefs season going to the game. But the one thing, words, but the one thing is that I strongly believe the Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl this year. And to be able to say, I went to a game the year the Chiefs, I saw the Chiefs Super Bowl team.

That'd be cool. You know, because we're, I don't think we're going to be able to go to the Super Bowl, you and me. Maybe. You never know. This podcast would really have to take off. We have to earn some money somehow. Right. Right now we're earning zero.

Maybe if we don't buy the new iphone we could potentially afford it um but yeah but i think it'd be really cool to be like yeah i saw that team on their run towards super bowl that would be um especially because we've never been able to say that no not even close we said that about the royals we can say that like yeah i saw the royals season the world series Series champions. But Super Bowl is a way bigger deal than the World Series, first of all. I mean, it's a huge bowl. It's a way bigger bowl. That's not your bowl. So, yeah.

So you say, good idea. I say, good idea. I say, do it. It's going to cost you some bones. Make sure you carpool for those parking. A couple phone payments. My gosh. Yeah.

Parking is like it's like 60 to park there oh yeah it's crazy that's a lot of money for pavement right your pavement guy it's it's because they only they're the only pavement in town yeah like you have to walk dare i say 20 minutes maybe more to get to the stadium if you don't want to park there. Yeah. And there's not like, it's not a very great area around it. Like it's kind of sketchy area.

It's just that. Yeah. Maybe if you like, if you had season tickets and you didn't want to pay for parking, it might be cheaper to like rent a place, like rent a house near the stadium and like park there and walk maybe airbnb it might be like it might be like 400 a month oh wait that doesn't compute crap oh never mind don't do it bad idea i'm out i'm out uh yeah okay good idea um speaking of uh a little podcast growth we just hit 10 000000 total listens, which is awesome. Yeah, pretty cool.

Because we did not think that would ever happen. And then also, I've never noticed this before, but the analytics we get, you know, it'll tell you some stuff on like what device you're listening on. I don't know why we would ever want that. But 94% is iPhone. If you guys are curious. Thank you guys. Shout out to my iPhone users out there. Shout out to those four percent on the droid though yeah we got four

percent android uh but or other it's other it's other we're just assuming it could be a nokia blackberry um some sort of shout out to those people telegram yeah using their old nokia brick phone listen to us while they're playing snake um okay but here's this look at all these different countries we have listeners in and sorry hopefully this doesn't come across as braggy i just think it's crazy to like look at it it's it's less than one percent less than one percent but that does mean someone in belgium belgium belgium stand up baby someone in honduras is listen so give me some honduras well we did talk about honduras in one of our episodes didn't we uh i've been there. Maybe I mentioned it.

Let's go. Australia. We talked about Australia. Maybe they were like, oh, dude, you got a list of this. Yeah. What a boy, boy, boy. And a boy, boy, boy, boy. United Kingdom.

Look, you can click on the country, though, and then it'll give you a breakdown. Oh, sure. So three-fourths England, 25% Scotland. What's good, England? But then even like Scotland. Look, it breaks down the cities in Scotland. Oh, Edinburgh, big fan. Edinburgh is 66% of our Scotland listeners. So that means

we at least have like eight listeners just in Scotland. That's crazy. Or maybe it's one person that's just traveling Scotland abroad, studying abroad. That's probably what it is. He's on like a road trip around Scotland. If you are one of those listeners, please comment with a five-star review on our podcast and let us know. If you're one Scottish listener, we'd like to know how, how, what Galley was.

That's one of the cities you were apparently in. Edinburgh. Cool. I've been to Edinburgh. Really? Wait, you pronounce it Edinburgh? Edinburgh. Even though it's spelled Edinburgh? Edinburgh. I trust been to Edinburgh. Really? You pronounce it Edinburgh? Edinburgh. Even though it's spelled Edinburgh? Edinburgh. I trust you. Yep.

How's your English or just British accent compared to your other ones? Oh, it's bloody terrible. It's bloody hell. I like that you went for it to describe how bad it was. Hi, bruv. We... Got a pretty terrible accent, yeah? Yeah. Oh, yeah. we have a guy at our church

who plays drums and crumpets he's uh english and he's awesome his name's steve he's like 50 years old he used to play in a british ska band like a legit british ska band called bad manners bad manners oh yeah we toured all over the place yeah it's great time oh yeah bars pubs would have loved it if i remembered any of it nice bars pubs oh great pub sounds like an animal yeah he's he's the man he's so cool steve defranco so um yeah i don't know my british accent's fine i don't feel like my like i don't feel like i stay cultural like accurate enough on any accent like i feel like if I do an accent long enough, they all turn into John Gruden

as a New York police officer. If you stay long enough. They're always morphing back into that because I'm always trying to be goofy with my accent. I'm usually like a two or three sentence at most. Get in, get out. Yeah, right.

Anyway, ask me something and I'll answer it in British oh okay in British um I was wondering if you were free for a little coffee or tea next week I'll have to check my schedule no what do they say what was that they say schedule funny my schedules hop check my Blackberry. Yeah, I could fancy a tea. There it is. What time on the morrow?

They're also from the 1920s. Yeah. On the morrow. On the double. I know very little about English people, but they do have their own words, which is kind of cool. Yeah, obviously. No, freshman year in my dorm, we had an English foreign exchange student uh i forget his name it doesn't matter but he said instead of saying what's up to greet people you say all right and so every single time i would greet him in a british accent going all right all right all right

and then you say all right back all right yeah all right it's kind of like being like hey what's up oh what's up man all right all right all right all right it was kind of like he agreed all right all right like it was kind of like a question like hey all right all right it was great man how many how many all rights is like two too many um matthew mcconaughey would say four nice all right all right all right uh i would say I would say Yeah probably just two Alright Alright No more No more Nice

It's getting a little Excessive after that Yeah That's all I have to say I like it I wish I could contribute I'm just not good with accents And stuff like that

I don't view myself as good either I just You just gotta try You're just going for it That's like That's like the white boys Dance motto It's like hey

I'm not that good at dancing But if you try Just get out, you're a good dancer. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. So that's about it, yeah? Buy me last pipe, mister.

That's newsies. Anyway. Whoa. Good idea, Jake. To keep doing a podcast. To go to the Chiefs game, not in England, in America, to do a podcast.

Here's something I saw in the news. Did you see that Jenna Fisher and... Yes! I'm so excited. Okay, I was going to ask you about that. Sorry, I interrupted. Yeah, if you guys don't know, it looks like Pam and Angela from The Office

are going to start their own podcast in October about The Office. Dare we say the second best office podcast out there. Probably. Because we are the first best because we are office based. We are office based. Office inspired. And we're in Brad's office.

Yes. Technically talking about it. We're in the workshop again. Full circle, yeah? But yeah, you think he'll tune in? Oh, for sure. Yeah. Yeah.

Whenever I got into podcasts, you know, a a couple months ago i tried to find one about the office and i listened to a few and they were just not very good but i think it'd be really interesting like because i want i want to know like little random facts and stuff little easter eggs i really am like genuinely trying to like prepare myself for like the most advanced office trivia of all time yeah like like subtly like that's kind of what I go for these days when I watch and listen to The Office is like, okay, can I pick out the most

like subtle little details? And so if I could listen to them talk about it. That's really going to help. Oh my gosh. I'll notice so much. Yeah. I hope it's great because they're going to have so many listeners

for that first episode. So I hope they kill it. Yeah, me too. Because I'm sure they'll do a good job of it. But yeah, it's exciting. And I think it's a good move on their part so good for them good job guys you're uh yeah you're a lot better at office trivia than i am i think naturally i can remember quotes quotes pretty well but as far as like you know little little details and michael's nephew's name stuff like that like i'm

not gonna know stuff like that probably yeah you have got to pull yourself together luke texas justice yeah i love the office i i also have been doing a lot of sporkle lately and realized that i just have a trash brain like i just know things that i shouldn't remember like like we just recently did katherine and i we were sporkling together no big deal you know that's my my mate were you big sporkle or little sporkle? I'm always big sporkle, baby. Little Catherine. We were doing some quiz and it was all the answers started with the letter K.

It was just stuff that I'd never known or never seen. Like, like it was a question about a movie that I'd never seen or a TV show I'd never seen, but I knew the answer. It just made me realize like, why do I know those things? I've got some things deep down. Yeah, for sure. So it's kind of fun when you know the answer to something that you didn't think, you know, right. Like i know that how do i know that um so sporkle if you're not if you're not playing get on it it's a good time it's a really fun time we should like seek out or even like host a like trivia night like obviously we really like trivia a lot but i think a lot of people really like trivia and i think that's a great yes like good idea um Good idea. Because here's the issue with my issue, my poultry of the week with, you see that?

With trivia nights is that often they are trivia about things that people don't know and don't care about. Yeah. Like I always use the example like who got second place for the Oscars one year for best supporting actress in 1997 it's like what i don't care about no one remembers losers well especially if it's that vague of a thing like if it's like you know for her performance in lost or performance in this tv show i don't know like there's a little more framed question around it anyway it just bothers me you would like to be

in control of the of the triv oh oh you're saying you're saying that like we would we would be participants no i was saying we would we would host it yeah and like yeah we would be in control of the trivia and like yeah we would we could do it for a charity like a non-profit like uh ls custom creations or even a for-profit Jake triplet media. That's right. Our businesses are set up pretty differently. Brad's trying to kind of evade taxes. And I, uh, actually, if anything, I, I still don't even know the troops. I don't even have an LLC, which is maybe irresponsible, but also maybe I've just saved $160 that I have that you don't. I don't really know why you need an LLC. You're not going to get sued.

That's the thing. People like me. They don't want to sue me. People might be like, hey, man, I stood on your table and it fell on top of me. People won't stand on my videos. Nope. They can't.

They can't. I've tried. They have no leg to stand on. No legs. Your teen requested a ride, but this time, not from you. It's through their Uber Teen account. It's an Uber account

that like everyone's heard it that story i read about that and uh the woman had some legitimate claims all we ever hear about is the headline but i'm i'm on her side now i'm i'm full-on i'm full-on woman uh hello i don't know her name i don't know i don't know else to say it uh but yeah like basically i don't think that that's how you say it though it's not i'm full-on woman that's i was thinking of my favorite bruce jenner quote that's what it was uh anyway the uh is that his name bruce that was an old name bruce we don't talk about that here wait it was bruce right just want to make sure it's not price is it bruce okay whatever uh caitlin now uh oh yeah so she gets served this

like super hot coffee um which obviously we all know coffee's gonna be hot she puts it like in her lap while she's driving and the lid pops off and then the coffee gets on the inside of her legs and it was served like 40 degrees hotter than like any like kitchen standards would say to serve coffee. Like the hottest you're supposed to be able to serve is like 120. How did she know that?

She have a thermometer in her thighs? Well, they went back and tested like, how does this, she did not have a thermometer in her thighs. Like, yeah, like pulls out of her pocket. Knew this was gonna happen. This feels hot. She like touched her thigh her thighs. Like, yeah. Like, pulls it out of her pocket. Knew this was going to happen. This feels hot. She's like,

touching her thigh with it. Like, yeah. I knew it. I've been carrying this around for 14 years. I view her as like an old woman. Like, I don't know why. She was older.

Gertrude, probably. I was thinking Gladys. Gladys. Gertrude's good. I'm a full-on woman and this is my thermometer. Yeah, when you said thermometer in between my thighs,

I was just going to pass over it because I didn't want to make the joke. There's wind beneath my wings, and there's thermometer in my thighs. And, well, it's hot. But, yeah, I'm glad we talked about that. Well, that's why Paula Abdul came out with that song, Thigh Thermometer, then. Dang, I don't get the joke. There's no joke. I just made it up.

Oh, dang. I was like, I don't know the joke there's no joke i just made it up oh dang i was like i don't know apollo's songs that well one of my top five favorite songs of the 80s though is straight up by paula abdul straight up now tell me now you're really gonna love me forever thigh thermometer it goes exactly like that yep yep i love that song yes but uh But, okay, I'm going to get through this story. Gertrude is like, wow, that's really hot because it's burning my legs. They go back and test that McDonald's temperature. And, yeah, they were serving it at 160 degrees. It's pretty warm. So this woman gets third-degree burns, has to go to the hospital,

and, like, has to get skin grafts, ends up, like, losing all this money from like hospital fees. So tries to sue for the exact amount of her hospital. The fills. Well, bees and fills. Oh, struggling.

Yeah. She got some lot of fills in those. Gertrude. She's the queen, queen bee bills and fees. That's what I was trying to say. And, uh,

she sues for the exact amount and, uh, they end up having to settle out of court and um anyway she was just an honest woman just to felt like she was wrong so there you go she was the honest woman man i mean she carries the thermometer in her thighs and she means well she had a oh boy uh shoot there was something i was gonna say before we got a water gauge in her hat and a thermometer her thighs always ready yep that's gertrude that's gertie so well cool man i'm glad that you're now on the side of the consumer instead of the massive corporate

you know organization exactly you know drugged our friend something else i'd like to do now with you uh bradley ellis yeah is um it's not gonna be fun potentially therapeutic uh a podcast i listen to did this um where they just described their perfect day this can be actually do we want to go i haven't thought about mine at all so we can both just kind of do this off the top but how is this a realistic perfect day or do we want to go unrealistic perfect day can we go like kind of in the middle okay like i want it to be like like elvis can't like rise from the grave and hang out with you okay okay but it's like oh that could happen like yeah so realistic real yes okay well we'll toe the line okay yeah um do you want to start you want me to start i'll start great i'll set the line. Okay. Yeah. Do you want to start? Do you want me to start? I'll start.

Great. I'll set the tone. I thought about it for a little bit earlier. Okay. So, and it's kind of realistic, kind of not. It starts out realistic. Realistic. I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon.

Sue me. No, I wake up. So I have my breakfast food. It is bacon. Probably some either french toast pancakes waffles whatever one of those they're all kind of the same to me yeah but I have chocolate chocolate is like the theme of the day I guess you could say so chocolate milk for sure oh to wash it all down and then from there I do a sports marathon of sorts. So I play basketball.

And all my friends are there. All of them. All of the ones I really care about. You know who you are. Basketball. And then I go to a baseball. And I'm talking like real baseball because that's very hard to find these days. Yeah.

You can play softball, but we all know it's very different. Real baseball game. Football. I don't know if I want to do real football. Well, perfect day. Like you can play softball, but we all know it's very different. Real baseball game. Football. I don't know if I want to do real football. Well, perfect day. We play real football, but I get to play fun positions besides just the linemen. And no one gets hurt.

And no one gets hurt. Exactly. No ACL tears or anything like that. We don't have to stretch beforehand either. No karaoke drill. So and then Ultimate Frisbee, another great game that I really enjoy. Lunch. Got to go with my favorite fast casual.

Chocolate. Chocolate. No. Chipotle. Got it. No, nothing special. Just Chipotle for lunch. And this is where it gets a little wacky.

Hey, it's Wacky Bruce. I love that line. Bruce Almighty. first dvd go on nice um so we go i realized as i was playing this that i didn't incorporate my wife and daughter very much so i was like oh here we go i better i better spend some good time with them because that's part of my perfect day is i would miss them a lot if they weren't in it. So I go to the zoo with Hattie and Catherine. You see the penguins, but it's an interactive zoo. Here we go. Here's where it gets a little unrealistic, but I think it could happen. Um, first of all, all the animals are cooperative and not scary. Cause I mentioned last couple of weeks ago that I kind of get scared of animals quickly. Um, but these animals are not scary. They're fun and cooperative. Like Hattie's, you know, riding around on a lion while I'm, you know, and they're loving her knee deep,

knee deep with the camel. Like, yeah, just hanging out. Uh, yeah, they're loving her. Oh, they're talking to her. No, that's not, they're loving her. Yeah. You know, nuzzled up against her. She's having so much fun. That would be awesome. Uh, it would be very cool. This gives me inspiration for mine. Mine's going to involve animals now. Oh, perfect. Okay. So that's, that's the afternoon. Um, perfect day. So how he doesn't need a nap. Um, so we're there for a while. You good GoPro. Okay. Uh, then from there we go to dinner at Oklahoma Joe's best, best food on the planet. I'm genuinely convinced. Um, if I had all the money in the world and I had one more meal to eat, I would still say Oklahoma Joe's.

Awesome. And there's no line. There's no rush. Like sometimes I feel like Catherine and I, whenever we're going places, are just concerned a lot about like, oh gosh, we're going to make it there on time. Traffic's bad. Whatever.

No rush. We have great conversation. Like deep conversation. Like, deep conversation. I love deep conversation. Love, like, getting to know each other better. Great conversation. And then we leave Oklahoma Joe's. And what's outside?

A helicopter. And where does that helicopter take us? Say it with me. Arrowhead Stadium. Yes. Okay. And, oh. Yes. Okay. And, oh, surprise, the Chiefs and the Patriots are playing in the Super Bowl at Arrowhead. Oh.

Oh, not really realistic, you would say, because AFC and NFC. Because you've been playing sports in February? No, they're going to have outdoor. No, Super Bowl's going to come. No, I was talking about your sports that morning. I bet you were a little cold. No. Oh, I failed to mention that.

It's been 64 degrees all day. Oh my gosh. And I woke up from the breeze. From the breeze and the smell of crackling bacon. Got it. Wait, woke up from the breeze? Where'd you sleep? In my room.

There's a window. Okay. Window's open. Got it. Catherine, also, quick second pull through of the week. My wife does not let me ever sleep with the window open. I love the breeze. I love the breeze. I love the breeze.

She thinks it's dangerous and an intruder could come in. Intruders not messing with Big Daddy. No, not with Big Sporkle. Not with Big Spork. Watch the Super Bowl at Arrowhead Stadium against Tom Brady. We beat Tom Brady. We don't beat the crap out of him. uh watch this watch the super bowl at arrowhead stadium against tom brady we beat tom brady we don't beat the crap out of them uh we win dramatically from my boy sammy watkins scoring his fourth touchdown as time expires got it um to win the game we go celebrate with andy's frozen

custard chocolate with m&ms of course got it Got it. And then that's it. That's the PG-rated version of what I want my perfect day to be. That's awesome. Yes. What do you think? Did you fly to the Super Bowl with your family? No, no. The Super Bowl is in Arrowhead Stadium.

Yeah. Did you fly to the Super Bowl with your family? Oh, Catherine was there, and my friends met us there. Oh, okay, got it. How do you stay at home? She did. Yeah, she doesn't want to have the permanent hearing loss

from how... Oh, and we break the noise record again. Oh, cool. Yeah, as time expires with Sammy Watkins scoring the touchdown. Is Hattie watching at home?

Yes. Okay, cool. She's got friends over. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She used her new iPhone that she bought and called all her friends muffled you know yeah it was hard to hear but yeah they got it done that's my that's my day and i think that's somewhat realistic i'm not trying to like you know go some foreign land

anything like that so i think it's possible yeah i. I mean, the, uh, the meals are pretty doable because that aspect could definitely happen like tomorrow if you wanted. Exactly. Like honestly, almost all of it could happen tomorrow. Pancakes, Chipotle and, and, uh, Joe's could happen tomorrow. That's awesome. Oh. And whenever I wake up and walk into the kitchen with the smell of crackling bacon, Hattie and Catherine both clap for me. And the song, I'm the man is playing. I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man. And they're like, yeah, dad, you're the man. As you walk into the kitchen?

Yeah. Dang, that's gonna be hard to top. That's pretty funny. You can tell everybody. You can tell everybody. Yeah, Brad, yeah. Chocolate milk on your feet. that's it oh and we'd have chocolate milkshakes at some point as well oh that's fun yep maybe in between football and

baseball that sounds like the time to do it like a home run derby would definitely be part of baseball as well that's i love home run derby yeah so maybe my perfect day also is like 29 hours long that's fine you could go to uh, uh, where'd you go? Jupiter. You go there like Jupiter's orbit, I guess. Okay. Perfect. You could just extend it.

It'd be a little cold. That's why it's 64. Um, oh, and why it's 64 is because I love, and I'm doing it right now, but I'm kind of sweating because of it. I love long sleeve tee and shorts weather. That's awesome. My favorite weather. When are you going to go long on one short on the other? Yeah. It's my favorite weather. When you can go long on one, short on the other.

Yeah. It's a good time. Yes. I like, yeah, the short sleeve hoodie as well. Because it's like, this is different. Short sleeve hoodie. I don't know very many people that own those except for you. I don't even know where I got it from.

But it's just like, this is kind of hot, kind of cold. Hot ice. You heat up the ice cubes. Rosa Gardner. It's the best both worlds. Man. I think you just died on us. Weird.

Okay. My perfect day. I should have taken a little bit of time to think about this, but you gave me some great inspiration. Oh, good. I wake up and it is... Ooh, ooh, ooh. I'm already having some ideas right from the start. I wake up and it is 5.35 a.m.

Oh, perfect. But I got a ton of sleep the night before. Oh, you feel great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a ton of sleep. If anything, I actually woke up at 5. Or no, this is my perfect day. No, I woke up right when I needed to at 5.35 a.m.

Oh, yeah. And I take, I think, a helicopter tour of, let's see. Well, maybe I should be more realistic. I want to see a sunrise to start my day. Those are the best days when you start with a sunrise. So maybe my entire day will take place in Kauai, on the island of Kauai. I knew it was going to be something like that. Yeah, okay. My day is going to take place. I wake up at 5.30 a.m. and we get airlifted to this cool summit.

We don't have to hike there, but me and some friends, we all end up at the peak of this mountain and get to watch the sunset sunrise together to start the day okay um it's now uh an hour later we end up walking down because it's easy to walk down things no problem we walk down and our breakfast is i don't know something fruity i'm not a big food guy whatever i eat some strawberries it's fine okay um now let's go acai bowl with nutella those are good i've had that yeah i've had that once it was really good um surprising then what happens i really like the amount of sports involved in yours that was a good call i think i'm gonna go um then the owner

of the acai place says hey um we've got i just uh my white tiger just had um a litter of kittens if you'd like to take some acai that you're a cat fan so do you want to have one of these kittens and uh that's what he says to me yeah on my perfect day and then um so then i've got two white tigers with me the rest of the day. Like cutest can be little, little kitty cats. Okay. I've always thought those have been pretty majestic. So I'm rocking around with them. They grow at a rapid rate though.

So an hour goes by and now I'm riding them and all. And, and I look to my left and there's a woman I've never seen before. Also riding the white tiger. And she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. You've never seen before also riding the white tiger. And she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. You've never seen my wife? No spoilers. It's not my wife. It doesn't sound like.

It's not my wife. It's not your wife. I look over. Most beautiful woman I've ever seen. It kind of looks like Margot Robbie, but it's not. Oh, yeah. Sorry, I don't know why I said that married and I reach over and I grab her hand and she grabs mine. And then we just start, uh, writing, um, into town on our white tigers together, holding hands the whole

time. Yes. Yeah. It's awesome. It's awesome. It gets a little sweaty, but it's fine. Uh, it's like a joke that we talk about later. Are you a waffle hand holder or a pancake? Not in this situation. Just pancake. Yeah. Flapjacks. Caking.

And from there, then we're at lunch now. And I look over the table next to me. Wayne Brady is there. And he starts hearing these things I'm saying at lunch. And he's like, whoa. What a random. What a random. a random you're funny he's like dude i i'm getting the crew together from whose line is it anyway tonight we're doing this big reunion show we're gonna have a special guest

he canceled oh would you want to would you want to be our special guest tonight i say yes So I'm amped on that I'm going to get to perform with Blaine and Brie I say yes You and I together later tonight So that's going great I think that afternoon I get surprised You set up this surprise

We've been kind of hanging out all day I was going to say I would hope that I was there with you On your perfect day But you surprised me. And Ty Gatewood and Kyle Brown are also on the island of Kauai. You're kidding. And you somehow got the limo there.

And so just us three get to be back together. And we just ride around Kauai just laughing and giggling and, you know, riding in the limo again. It still doesn't have air conditioning, even on my perfect day. It's still really, really hot. Got to stay consistent. And we just relive those those memories and we probably try to make a video maybe we one of my favorite videos we ever made was actually before we had a limo and it was we went to eureka springs arkansas and tried to find a guy named greg oh yeah and so maybe we'd remake something like that greg's with you i'm sorry greg is with us the whole time uh that's uh a guy I live with.

The guy in the main house. His name is Greg Love. So funny you knew that. Because that's not the same Greg at all. I thought that was his name. Okay, time passes. It's a lot of fun. I'll just try to wrap this up. Go to dinner. It's pizza rolls. Then I go to the Who's Line Is It Anyway performance. It's amazing. Just in time when it gets done.

Then to see the sunset. with wayne brady no i i say thanks wayne this is great and i say goodbye okay but then like all my friends and family are there to watch the sunset and we're just talking and laughing and having a good time um and then oh and then i end the night by playing um halo 2 with my dad, my uncle, and my cousin. That was amazing. If anyone's ever played a game by Bungie Sports. How are you making that noise? It's like a didgeridoo in your mouth, kind of.

That's awesome. Thanks, man. Not a didgeridoo, a kazoo. That's what I'm trying to say. But yeah, us four just play some System Lake Halo 2 like the good old days. Me and Steve-O have to get to 50 before my dad and Uncle John get to 10. It's a classic game. We played it all growing up.

They're so bad. They never got better. What map are you on um we would probably go between lockout and foundation foundation oh foundation's the one rockets we always played rockets oh yeah it's like the big circle yeah you can shoot through the wall now and then like the bottom left corner and lockout lockout was like uh usually with swords or shotguns it's real blue it's the alien one yeah you can go up the little classic tube yes the portals yeah dude and then if someone ever goes through that like oh he's at tower or like he's at yeah he's at here he comes you know exactly where he's at uh yeah i would definitely in the night by playing halo 2 with them that'd be so fun gosh halo 2 is so fun

it was so great let's bring that back what a great game let's bring that back let's start just doing yeah stuff like that trivia night halo 2 night like things that are very easy to do that everyone would be down for gosh halo 2 would be so fun and one more. Let's start just doing, yeah, stuff like that. Trivia night, Halo 2 night. Like things that are very easy to do that everyone would be down for. Gosh, Halo 2 would be so fun. And one more thing. Let's start square dancing. And while I have your hopes high, let's say something that's not very fun. We don't have to square dance.

No, we can square dance. We square danced at K-Country a lot and it was really fun. Oh, really? I have not square danced a lot. We square danced every single staff training week. They brought in the Southwest Missouri Square Dance Club and taught us how to square dance. It was really fun for a night. I don't know if it would be fun more than that.

We used to do it once maybe. I was so excited for what you were going to say and then you followed it up with square dancing. I was trying to think of something a little lackluster. And while we're at it, let's learn how to do the pummel horse. Pummel horse is hard. How's your weight loss journey going, by the way? Oh, I started intermittent fasting this week. Oh, I've been doing that a lot on accident, I think.

Seriously. Yeah, yeah. Last Friday, I only had one meal on accident. Really? I had Chipotle. I've never missed a meal before in my life. Really? So it's not really.

But, you know, like even if I wake up at 11, I'm like, I gotta eat. You know, so I have cereal and it's like, nah, it's 1230. Probably should, probably should have a sandwich. But I gotta have technically lunch. Yeah. Yeah. I was like laying in bed about to fall asleep. I was like, whoa, I had Chipotle at like 330 and that was it.

Really? That was all I had that day on accident. That's wild. Yeah. Just forget about it. I did forget lunch one time when I was working. Like one time, June. It was weird.

I was like, oh my gosh, I just didn't eat my lunch. What happened? You legitimately remember one time. It was weird. I was like, oh my gosh, I just didn't eat my lunch. What happened? You legitimately remember one time. It was weird. It was late spring 2015, I think, and threw me off for a while afterwards. Intermittent fasting, though, is fine. I just basically only eat between 11 and 7. Gotcha.

And it makes the mornings very, very boring. I'm just like, gosh. I just want to sit around and wait for my day to start. Wait for first lunch. Yeah. First lunch, yeah. Second dinner. Anyway, but yeah, it's fine.

I haven't lost a whole lot of weight yet, but, you know, hoping. It's the long game. Yeah, right. Hoping it'll get better. Real quick, let's go back to when I said Halo 2. Yeah, you made that noise rather like everyone knows the halo sound is being like the oh yeah and you went with the like that's because halo 2 they came out with that really dope electric guitar going on behind it it was like the developers

like soundtrack it wasn't even like a halo thing no it was a halo thing no i think it wasn't like sylvestri man what are you saying that's the guitar player's name how do you know that i tell you i know random things i guess so i really thought that was like the developer of halo 2 that was like their theme song bungee this is made by bungee yeah and that was like their music and they happened to make halo but it wasn't like a halo sound halo song that's how i interpreted it it doesn't matter anyway um thank you guys for joining the halo podcast no uh let's um let's wrap it up.

That's the thing. Yeah. As they were saying, it's starting to get really popular. It's hard to find them for free. But in Pickle Lee Summit, they have some, and that's where we played as they were saying like it's starting to get really popular it's hard to find them for free but in pickle lee summit they have some and that's where we played pickle summit perfect pickle perfect so my baby of the week is pickleball i honestly texted garrett like an hour ago i was like we're trying to get pickly tonight you got the tickle for the pickle oh i just got a text oh gar Garrett's tickling my pickle. Oh! No! Actually, he just emphasized the message,

so I don't know if he full-on tickled my pickle or not. It's just like, okay, he's interested. I'm not going too far into this joke. Sounds like a good idea. Yeah. But I love pickleball. That's awesome. Yeah, I'm trying to get down on it more and more.

Wow. No, pickleball is awesome. Actually, some of the tennis courts, random fact, have pickleball boundaries in them. Pickle lines? Yeah, I'm trying to get down on it more and more Wow. No pickle balls. Awesome. Actually some of the tennis courts Random fact have pickleball Boundaries in the middle lines. Yeah pickle lines like the one at Chi mission East does cool only certain ones What's the piccolo piccolo is when you like and it's too low down on the ground Piccolo piccolo. That's how you that's how you like like somebody's about to spike it on you. Like, hey, he's going to pick a spike. Piccolo!

Piccolo, get your paddle down. Yeah, you both duck down. Piccolo. Piccolo is the small version of a flute. Okay. It's the instrument you play to perform the national anthem before a pickleball game as well, right? They only perform them with piccolos. Correct, yes.

How's it sound? I don't know. Coincidentally, piccolos are also the uh the um recognized cereal of pickleball is that some sponsor hey i like two percent milk and a little bit of piccolos tickly pickly good that's right i knew i'd heard of piccolos before piccolos they're pickly hey me it's patrick mahomes man i just love piccolos uh get yourself some piccolos they're pickly hey mate it's patrick mahomes man i just love piccolos uh get yourself some piccolos today not to be confused with picklemans yes pickle man it's great in the city too pickle man is uh yeah he's the superhero that goes around pickle man is my father i'm piccolo

yes uh okay so that's my baby the week is the sport of pickleball. Who is your baby of the week? Mine is not a sport. It is a human being. Oh, that's hot. Baby of the week. Yeah. As I said, I was sick this week, so I had a lot of time to hang out on my phone, you

know, do some research, do some sparkling. And, you know, the person that nursed me back to health, um, you know, babe of the week has to go with Catherine Ellis. Um, Catherine is come to find out she's my wife. Um, still nice. And she's just great. She's, she's the whole package. She also enjoys ice cream. She also enjoys pizza. She also likes Disney movies. She also likes The Beatles. She also likes... You trying to hit a word count on something?

No, just saying things that she likes. That's cool. We're very original in the fact that we all like those things. She's very, very special to me because of those things. i've never met somebody that has all those likes so and this week especially this week she's liked all those things oh yeah she's just a babe so uh babe of the week katherine ellis um that's awesome man yeah she's just currently trending so uh that's my babe it's okay uh next blank of the week this is a new one we have life hack of the week hey it's brad ellis here for your life hack of the week i'm just trying to think

of a different uh theme song for all of them oh sure sure um that one was like an infomercial uh do you have one uh yes um not your typical life hack like not cut off the end of your toothpaste tube and use it as a dog leash. I don't know. But this is being nice to people in the drive-thru. I've talked about this before that I love interacting in general. But what I realized because it happened last night to me is like, whoa, pretty often, and

I'm not doing this for this outcome, but I get free stuff all the time in the drive-thru. Really? Kind of a lot. Like, especially if I'm at Chick-fil-A and like, let's say I'm only ordering a milkshake, like I'm only getting one thing. I'll get that for free 40% of the time in the drive-thru. Really? Kind of a lot. Like, especially if I'm at Chick-fil-A and, like, let's say I'm only ordering a milkshake. Like, I'm only getting one thing. I'll get that for free 40% of the time. What? I'm not kidding.

That's so much of the time. Yeah, and I don't do it that often. I love chocolate milkshakes, so I'm going to do this. When I say 40%, that's truly probably four out of ten times that I've ever ordered just a milkshake at Chick-fil-A. So not a huge sample size. But, yeah, probably four out of ten times I have, they'll just give it to me for free because i've said something unique or that's incredible but anyway last night it's about 1 a.m go through the mcdonald's drive-thru and i ordered two orders of hot cakes i was feeling hungry that's oh baby that's six cakes for those who don't frequent

mcdonald's my perfect day starts with pancakes your day ends with them baby thought you're gonna go a different route with that one uh with the word cake but it's fine the uh yeah the guy uh gave me a free orange juice and upgraded it and so i felt appreciative of that what does that mean upgraded it gave you a large instead of i was gonna i asked for large he gave me a free extra large which is more orange juice than any person needs to consume in one sitting but uh it was still really nice like i didn't finish it i had the large amount but yeah a pretty often thing is just like just being, you know, not even like overly friendly

but I'm just like really comfortable with them and I'll like tell them a joke or like, I don't know, ask about their day and stuff. Yeah, just make them. Make them feel like they're my friend rather than just like I need something from them. Right, transactional relationships.

That's a deeper talk. Next episode. So yeah, that's my life hack is mix it up in the drive-thrus. You may get rewarded. And if not, you still make your day. I love any kind of life hack that gets me free things. I love. Huge fan of it. Huge fan. So I love that, Jake. Mine is kind of indirectly getting you free things. It's something that probably people have used, but people don't, people don't always use as effectively as i think they easily could and that is promo codes um i was just ordering some chairs today for an order that i got shout out bless up got an order

um just ordering some chairs for them and all you had to do is google literally i was on the website heyneedle.com ordering these chairs googled the hay needle. Needle. There's an endless road that leads to weevils. That's scary. I don't like the animal. Endless road of weevils. No, thanks. I'll take the coupon codes instead. Yes. Hey needle, just Google. Hey needle coupon code. And you'll almost always find Google, whatever you're doing, coupon promo code. And it works. It works 90% of the time. It's so easy. Like I saved $37 on my order that all I had. And it took me two minutes and you can do that almost every single time. And it's like, like on one hand, it's like, Oh, I don't need to worry about promo code. But

it's like $37 can buy you so much random stuff that you anything like think about how many hot cakes that is baby it's a lot of cake i think of like someone was standing you know like down the street holding 37 right and all you have to do is walk towards them it's going to take two minutes of your time to walk there but then you get 37 yeah yeah yeah it's so easy um promo codes, it's not like a life hack that you've never heard of, but it's a life hack that you're probably not utilizing as much. And you maybe forgot about like, Oh yeah, that's an easy thing I could be doing. And beyond that, I wonder, this is not as much of a confirmed life hack, but I feel like if you just ask people for things kind of uncomfortably, like, Hey, do you mind? Like, like last week it

was kind of like 10% off. Do you mind just giving me that 10% off this week too? Like, I wouldn't be surprised if they said, yeah, price match a lot at nice stores yeah i'll just like especially ace hardware because they sell things more expensive than home depot you let them know like the depot's got it's like yeah hey this is a dollar 80 cheaper on home depot.com they'll be like okay and they'll just price match it right there they love customers always right they love making you happy i love it dude so have i talked about on the podcast uh the good guy discount before yeah maybe i don't know i can't remember if it's on the podcast but uh an easy thing uh yeah supplementary life hack is if you're really feeling froggy you can ask if they offer uh or you know the the good guy discount and then they say

what's that like well i mean you're a good guy i'm a good guy you shouldn't have to pay full price for this right it works with certain products i've watched you'd be pretty charming i've watched gunner try to do it multiple times and gunner has just failed so i didn't know he's been trying that i want to see it in action it's pretty uncomfortable because they don't usually say like what's that they usually just go no we don't we don't offer oh no they're like no don't have that you're the third guy who's trying and then gunner will be like well but you're a good guy i'm a good guy too what do you say okay our last blank of the week is uh a new one observation of the week yes you want me to go first on this one are you uh sure so observation of the week um actually i

think i had this thought a couple weeks ago whenever I was at that fantasy football weekend with my friends. And it is this, the observation is that I think that you can tell if someone is a snorer or not before ever watching them sleep. Amazing observation. And let me tell you, I, I thought about like, if, if anybody, you know, has at least three of these, Oh, let's say five qualities, they are a snorer. Okay. Prove me wrong. Okay, yeah.

I'm going to try to think of my own. Trait number one, they are male. I don't think there's a single female that is a snorer. I'm probably wrong about that, but I feel like males are very adept to snore. Conduce. Yes. Um, they're a male. They have more hair beneath their neck than above it. Or maybe I should say beneath their ears. Cause I feel like a lot of times

a big bearded guy, that dude's snoring. Yeah, for sure. Like, Oh, that, that guy, he's like a bullfrog. He's got a comb over, but he is just, he doesn't have any hair on top, but he's got all sorts of neck hair. Deciduous forest underneath the neckline. Oh, right. Yeah. Taco meat down there. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Season it up, baby. So if it's a very hairy man, specifically, honestly, like a balding hairy man, which is just the worst of both worlds. He snores. Yeah. Second and third, sorry, is he's overweight. I don't feel like you see very many, like you don't walk past a skinny guy like, oh, that dude's a snorer. Like, no, no, no, no, no. Overweight definitely helps.

Yeah. Like you don't watch some guy, you know, a hairy bald guy that's running down the street, you know. I don't watch them hardly ever well if you do though you don't say he's a snorer i bet no i don't know so uh that's third fourth is that he has glasses or corrective lenses of some sort you might not know that he has contacts but well let's see let's say even really like a personality of somebody who has glasses over contacts like he chooses to wear large thick rim glasses that do the snore. So he's probably choosing to not correct his snoring. Right. He's I don't, I don't care that I sleep on my back.

It's just more comfortable. So it helps. So I'm doing it. Yeah. And last but not least, he is over the age of 50. Yeah. I think as you grow, you don't hear about like, Oh, did you hear that third grader during nap time? First of all, third graders don't take naps. You hear that four-year-old during nap time? They're not allowed. He was snoring like crazy. No, you never hear that. But once they hit 50.

Okay. So basically what I'm saying is the premium optimum snore, and I just thought of this, is Chris Kringle St. Nicholas. Okay. Like that is the demographic. Like that is the all-star snorer. He is the epitome. A lot of hair. A lot of hair on yeah a lot of but but but you imagine chris kringle he's not got much on top

no he's got he's always has a hat he's got a helipad he's got a helipad up there like you can land it down there so um those are that's how i think that as i've observed like go out in public sometime and i guarantee you can be like that dude snores. I'd like to add one to the list. Yeah. Um, makes an audible noise when like standing up from a chair. Sure. That's an effort. Why wouldn't breathing be when you're sleeping? Yeah. If he's making noises to get up from the recliner, he's making noises after midnight, like in a snorey way, like in a, like there's, there's reflux. I don't even know what makes you snore he's making noise after midnight uh so that's my observation my observation of the week is a lot of people will post on their instagram what kind of workouts they're doing and i do not understand why you would ever ever do that

you're telling me you don't like see somebody be like 50 burpees, you know, push-ups and you're like, okay Oh how many sets? Yeah. Well, I can match that. In fact, I'll do it right now. And you're like you're like looking at it Yeah. Yeah, you're like you've got it propped up like you respond to the video Saw your story. It's pretty good workout. I Just I just what is the point of ever Posting like unless you are a fitness instructor, your brand is fitness and people, and you are making a living by doing fitness, then that makes sense. Like that truly does make sense.

I don't have any qualms or beef or poultry with that. But the fact that you're just like, Hey, I'm kind of a fit person. I'm a normal guy. And also here's how much I bench press and how many times I do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What?

No one's asking for that. You, you've wildly overestimated how much I bench press and how many times I do it. Yeah. Yeah. What no one's asking for that you you've wildly Overestimated how much anyone cares about that. Do we think Jason's at the gym this morning? Oh, he sure is. Oh, thank goodness Well in that case, I'm not gonna have that second donut Jason Thank you for sets of eight that I've been doing eight sets of four been in all no wonder He's so much more tone. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Oh my, you know, Instagram goes down. Oh, is he working out? I can't, he's not posting. Oh gosh.

Instagram's down. Check his TikTok. Check his TikTok. He posted there. He's got to be posting somewhere. I'll text him. I don't know if he'll text me what he's doing. Yeah.

So that's my observation. It's like, there's a lot of people out there who think we want to know the amount of sets and reps you're doing. Like, it's one thing to like a check-in like i don't know like you have so much more beef with social media people than i do in general i just i just like i just scroll on i'm like oh there he goes working out yeah next it doesn't like truly annoy me but it's just like i notice it and it makes me wonder the like motive of like because we all have a motive before you post anything.

And so it's just like, wow, that is very interesting to me that they like, they think that themselves. Yeah. This should go online. This should be posted, which then again,

there's probably an equal debate for us making a podcast. We were like, these guys think that people just want to listen to them and all that's super fair as well. It's like, yeah, I don't know. We thought maybe people would.

And yeah, but the workout know. We thought maybe people would. And yeah, but the workout thing is just wild to me. Maybe they're motivated by other people posting. So they, or maybe it's like a community of like, I don't know. We're all keeping each other accountable. And even though that's normally a very private thing, I'm going to make sure other people know. Honestly, I think it's just because we just don't, we're just so far removed from the fitness culture.

We're very much not in the fitness world. Because maybe they're following 15 other accounts that are also doing it and they're like oh that's interesting that guy's doing this today i wonder what he's doing tomorrow you know i don't know not trying yeah no maybe rain on your parade no i think it's good to have both put sunshine on your parade i guess you're trying to rain on it and put sunshine on my umbrella yeah umbrellas are kind of a product that haven't changed for like hundreds of years you ever thought about that like isn't that crazy there has been no technological advancements on the umbrella in hundreds of years name another product like that besides chairs napkins as soon

as i said that i was like okay there's definitely been tables okay think about let's look around that like solve a problem like the umbrella does okay actually don't think about the product it's a bad question to ask but but i still have beef with umbrellas i do actually and this isn't just me i was reading something else about this that was like it's kind of crazy that like umbrellas have not advanced like because they don't work that great like you still get wet the umbrella is still wet afterwards you have to deal with that you know it's not a perfect product what was the last time you used an umbrella? I would say July 15th. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Of this year. No, I'm just kidding. I have no idea. I don't use them that often. I say, forget the umbrella. I get my rain jacket on and I say,

I'm going to get a little wet and that's fine. That's the thing. We don't live in a place where like umbrellas are getting used that often. I'm not commuting that often. New York City though,

madbrellas. Madbrellas. I'm going there a couple in a month or so. Are you really? Yeah. The big city. What for? Pleasure.

What's up? Vacation. Okay. Just with my wife. Just getting away. Just you two? Yeah. Cool.

It'll be fun. That's awesome. What part of New York City are you staying? Upper East Side. E? The? the Big Easy Albany it's a little suburb

no yeah anyway that's random those are our blanks of the week blanks of the week oh and then let's go

reviews of the week real fast oh yeah gotta go reviews of the week this has been the best week of reviews we've ever had so thank you to everyone who left reviews we had had some interesting names this week, which I don't know.

I want to know who you guys are because I might know you, but there's no way to know when your name is. Buttface Malone III, Blueberry III. If it was the second, we would probably know. I know your father, I think, but another one is Clever Podcast Nickname. That's my favorite one. That was a good one. So all the – I don't even know. Like, they're all very long.

They're all multi-paragraphed reviews. And they're just awesome. Like, they're all great. One of them is just all about how this guy never listens to podcasts. He listens to ours, and now he's got – he's into it, and he's got a sister to listen to it. He's all in. We don't know if it's a girl or a guy, do you? For some reason, I feel like that was implied.

But you're right. I have no idea if this person is a man or a female. We've got multiple reviews from people who say they don't have air conditioning in their car, which I think is an interesting correlation. Well, they saw you with the limo, and they're like, oh, we don't have air conditioning. That's kind of fun. I'll just uninstall the air conditioning from my car. So that's cool.

We've got multiple listeners out there who have no air conditioning but do have us going on in their car loving it um thank you one uh tidbit from review says ps brad please sing more because it makes me smile jake please have more unpopular opinions because i agree with all of them i sing you smile i love that song yeah i think i said that like two episodes ago still love it though um be careful playing around a girl though you never know what she's thinking um and then uh another one talks about our mr sandman bit which was great um said how much he loved that last episode although he did say uh um he said like there are other people who can hear him laughing because he was driving around and whoa is this that's another this i didn't even see this there's another review they don't

have air conditioning in their car i don't even see i'm not kidding that's three out of the four reviews this week talk about not having air conditioning in their car what's going on planned obsolescence man the air conditioning companies love it is that what that is yeah i thought planned obsolescence was like when Apple changes the port that charges their phone every four years. That's also correct. Planned obsolescence meaning you can't fix the AC on your own, so you have to get a computer to hook it up. Anyway, thank you guys for the reviews. The support has never been better.

Last week was our best week. This month was our best. Our support has never been better! Our prices have never been lower. Uh, so yeah, big thanks. And,

we appreciate it. This has been episode. What did I say? 19. I think I said 18 in the beginning, but I think it's actually 19. So I am a liar and I apologize. Um,

but we're going to go have a great weekend. I'm going to get my, my pickle tickled baby. I'm going to find my pickle boys and we're going to get after it. Um, gosh, I've so, I was genuinely're going to get after it. Gosh. I was genuinely so excited to play Pickleball. Wow. I want to play it.

I was so excited. Brad, hit us with a jingle to end this week's podcast, baby. I'll take it. I like that you don't have it planned. No, never. I know. I think people maybe think that you do have it planned, but you don't. Oh, my gosh.

I hope that... I don't think people think that. Everywhere you go, everywhere there's a pod, there's a pod. A podcast with Ghost Runners. Everywhere you go, everywhere you can take us, you can take and listen to us on podcast and Spotify. Nice. Yep, that's it. Thanks for listening, you guys.

Love you, Hattie. Thank you.
