Oh!

Oh! You think we're done now? I'm just kidding. We're done. You know what the best part of that is? Is all Brad said was like, do we bring vibes back for the Chiefs before that? Justin knows. Justin has the unedited version.

We didn't talk about doing that at all. Justin, play the five seconds we did right before that, right now. Do we bring the vibes right now for the Chiefs. Yeah. That's all it was. We didn't have to talk about it. We just knew we're on the same page. Yeah. The Chiefs won last week.

And I guess the week you're listening to this, they will be playing in the Super Bowl this upcoming Sunday. So, boy, I hope it goes well. Last week was awesome. Last week was awesome. Last week was awesome. Yeah, let's break down last week and then we can talk a little bit about the upcoming week. Maybe we'll talk it out on Wednesday. A little Super Bowl preview. I'm a little tired now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bouncing a little bit. But yeah, we watched the game at my house. My friends are gracious enough. I don't think any of us have like an

incredible house for it. Yeah. But I'm definitely not saying my house is an A plus either. You know, it's, it's got, we had two TVs going upstairs, downstairs. And my basement is like the classic, like Midwestern, like half finished half, you know, low ceiling hazard. Yeah. Nothing crazy about it. Just like classic, like basement, like, yeah, we'll watch, we can watch a game down here, but we're not spending every single day of our lives down here or anything totally um kind of you know kind of did you know classic gender roles women upstairs near the kitchen up men downstairs just because i think the guys wanted to watch the game a little bit louder a little bit more intensely and it was a night game so and there's only so much seating yeah exactly there's there's not there's not a

million seats everywhere in the house. We're not the, you know, Warbucks or the Roosevelt's or the Rockefellers. Good comparison. So it was fun. Really close game. And the Chiefs won. Thank goodness, because of everything you said on the podcast last week. Brother.

Yeah, thank goodness. That's the only reason I was excited. And now the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl. Yeah, so fun. We got to it's just so fun the team you've rooted for your whole life now like just they've went as far as they could possibly go no matter what this is the last week of the season it is it's it's like it's not it is becoming a little bit i'm desensitizing myself to it a little bit and i don't want to but i i'm realizing like i i heard you know some of my friends were like yeah we woke up our sons to like watch the end of the game yeah and i thought to myself like maybe i should

get hattie and bow up first of all bow's not gonna remember he's gonna be like okay dad we we go super bowl you know whatever uh second of all i i thought to myself like i'll just do that the next time you know like that's how that's how cocky i am about the chiefs and i bet people we're to the point now this is five years in a row where we were in the championship game. We're to the point where people do not like the chiefs anymore. And I think we've got to be careful with how much we brag about it. Cause I think eventually people are going to start like taking it personally towards their teams. It's not anything of, you know, against the Bengals. It's just, we love the chiefs. So Scott and I were kind of talking about it. Cause he was like, you know, when the Patriots were so good for so long,

Scott was like, I remember thinking like, do they get tired of this? Like, are they just sick of going to the super bowl? And me and Scott were just like no this is awesome no but everyone else got tired of them going to the super bowl yeah everyone else does but but if you're a fan you're excited it's one of those classic like when it's your team you always believe the best in other people but it's like surely people like the chiefs more than the patriots right like the patriots were like proven cheaters like the chiefs are good good people. We have a good guy. When Kareem Hunt violates a woman, we cut him from the team. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

So yeah, I know that Bengals fans out there right now have plenty of reasons to be frustrated. But at the end of the day in the game, the Chiefs won and Patrick Mahomes is the greatest of all time. So I do have a few, we have a few inside jokes throughout the game. Let's talk about them real quick. Just, just because we were so excited, you know, so it's down there. I'll set the scene for you. It's kind of a shotgun of a basement.

So it's just one long room. The TV that we have is pretty big, but also pretty close to us. And so we're all like kind of, you know, on the very back of the, you know, one side of the wall TV is on the other side. We got Harrison, Peter, Isaac, scott brad jake in that order um scott's in his little you know snuggie off-brand snuggie i have from big lots uh on the ground isaac's over there apparently isaac was like sweating the entire game which i don't know how that happened because it's so cold down in that basement um but isaac one of the one of the

inside jokes we had was chris's turn um as we're watching the game there's chris jones one of the inside jokes we had was Chris's turn. As we're watching the game, there's Chris Jones, one of the best Chiefs players, and he makes a sack on Joe Burrow, and we're all freaking out. We're all so excited every time something good happens for the Chiefs. And Isaac just stands up and just starts running up and down the basement, doing this gritty, off-brand thing, saying, Chris turn, Chris turn, Chris turn, Chris turn, Chris turn. And we're all like, what is he saying he saying and finally realize he's saying Chris's turn I was thinking it's Chris's turn to get a sack as it's Chris's turn

I was saying it before I was saying it before the play and then he made the play so I was running up now Christian Christian Christian Okay, but we've never said that before Yeah, no, and then so every time anybody on the Chiefs made a Yeah Yeah, it's a every time anybody on the chiefs made a play. Buckers, Buckers, Buckers, Buckers, Buckers. Yeah. Kelsey turn, Kelsey turn, Kelsey turn. Yeah. And so.

Jalen Watson turn, Jalen Watson turn. And you know, yeah, Scott, Scott has more of a vendetta towards other teams than anybody else. I mean, he was getting so amped up about, you know,

all this trash talking going on before the game. But by far, I think the thing that, what do you have something to say? I just remember one of Scott's things. Yeah. He's like, I hope they bury him in the turf since it's his field if they call it burrowhead yeah let's make a part of the very very bury his head in the turf burrow berry head

it's very turd berry turd berry um yeah scott scott's so funny but the thing I want to really break down right now is just the video of the very end, the, the, the kick to, to make the chiefs go ahead and win the game. So there's a few funny things. You'll see it. If you're on the YouTube, if not, you'll hear it. I just want to, I want you to listen and Jake can justify it and defend himself all he wants. Cause it's, it's just so it never gets old and never stops being funny to me. So yeah, I think you should give them a preview of what to listen for. Yes. So, so if you didn't understand the game or didn't see the game, the chiefs kind of miraculously, there was a penalty. And so there was eight seconds left and they had a chance to kick a

field goal, a decent, decently normal field goal, um, with eight seconds left. And so I decided to pull out my phone video, our reaction to it, just in case he makes it. And so he kicks the ball. I mean, it's, it's straight through. I mean, it's right down the middle, but it's cold outside, but it's cold outside. Jake being the science math boy, he is golfer. Science and math, aka golfer. Knows. Hey, it's not going to travel as far. He's heard like, hey, he's not been hitting very long field goals today. They said pregame he topped out at 50 yards.

And so. It's a 45 yarder. So he kicks this ball and immediately it's good. Immediately it's right down the middle. It's like, that's in. And so the rest of us go nuts. And a good three seconds, four seconds later, you hear jake in the background exclaiming so so that's that's the that's the background of this let's listen in um and you can hear for yourself this is embarrassing but funny it's so funny though guys

that's a bad that's a bad let's go here we go baby here we go baby this is great oh yeah yeah come on give this team a chance to go to the super bowl how far is it 42 i think i dare you to ice them zach come on baby I dare you to ice them, Zach. Come on, baby. Here it goes.

Boom! Right down the freaking middle! Here it goes. Play it again. Play it again. Play it again. Give me it again, play it again, play it again. Give me it again. It's like the delayed guy. You know, he's got like dial-up internet or something over there in the corner. Oh, Justin, we got to put the video right here.

Everyone come to YouTube to watch this part. Baby. Boom! Right down the freaking middle. Let's go! BUCKERSTORN! Yeah! BUCKERSTORN! BUCKERSTORN! So many could also hear us saying BUCKERSTORN, BUCKERSTORN. Yeah. Well, because then eventually keep playing it, Isaac runs up and down the-

Oh yeah. BUCKERSTORN! BUCKERSTORN! BUCKERSTORN! BUCKERSTORN! BUCKERSTORN! BUCKERSTORN! What? What? Go to the Super Bowl? Oh! Yeah, Jake gets on his little play phone. I found a phone from like Hattie or Bo or something. And then listen, a little bit longer. Scott gives a nice little show of how much he dislikes the Bengals. Oh, Joe!

We all have burro hair! Scott in his Snuggie. Yeah, he's like in his Snuggie. Oh, Joe! We're all in a burrow here! Scott is snuggie. Yeah, he's like in his snuggie. I mean, it's hilarious. The scene is hilarious because, you know, you got, you got like Scott and I are sitting down. All the rest of the guys are standing up. Peter has like a toy rifle in his hand randomly. He has that toy gun.

You know, it's just like so wild. Harrison's not even a Chiefs fan, but he's their supporter. Harrison, I give Harrison the credit, all the credit in the world for like, he's with his friends and he's rooting with his friends. He's got a mustache. Absolutely. He's got a great mustache. So, oh yeah.

One more time. Can we just get it one more time? Just the, yes! Okay. And I will say justifiably, it's so funny, but Jake is so right in waiting because it only cleared the crossbar by like three yards. Like it was like, it probably was not good by much longer than what they had it. So like,

like, but it's still just so funny. Cause like the rest of us are so excited. It is just like, even without any context, there's Jake in the background, you know, it's like, it, it, honestly it's like so sheltered kid looking at you, right. Or all my friends cheer. Oh, oh, go cheese. I suppose it's your two. Oh, okay.

You guys do your hands up. Okay. Yes. And I also say like, I think Jake, like your, your 10 out of 10 decibel level is probably like my four out of 10. Like you're just not a super loud guy. It's hard for me to be that loud. I bottled it up.

The whole thing is so great. One more time. Okay, here we go. Bucket chair. Baby. Boom! Right down the freaking middle! Let's go! Bucket chair! Yes! Yes! Bucket chair!

I got it. Alright, that's it. So funny. No more. Yes! Oh my gosh, that's it. So funny. No more. Yes! Oh my gosh, that needs to be a new sound clip that people use. Yes! You guys are free to use that however you want. Anyway, yeah, it was a good time. We're going to have some more fun.

Obviously, we're not in the Super Bowl, but oh, Chiefs are back. Chiefs are back in it, baby. Funny, funny. and then there's another video maybe we saved that one for patreon or the facebook group or something like that the sky more pot return oh yeah that's funny too we can say that that's like yeah i can explain it in the in the patreon i think i'm gonna put the whole video on patreon as well the celebration one yeah yeah the full full minute 46 oh it's so good so good time so that was that's what happened on saturday been a big week no sunday sunday that happened on sunday and the

very next day what'd we do brad we went on our first ever corporate retreat retreat we got uh it was business casual attire so we each wore a a suit. That's not true. No tie though. No tie. Yeah. It seems like no one's wearing ties these days. You feel like that's true? Who do you mean? Like businessmen are not wearing ties. Like you go to a wedding, people aren't wearing ties.

Like people just aren't wearing, like people wear suits often and just not have a tie with it. Remember when we were watching that clip of Eric Mangini? He was wearing a tie. He was wearing a tie eric mangini is not the most like i think you got to be a pretty old school guy in an old school career and you still wear a tie i sorry i don't mind the no tie i do mind the shoes with suits yeah you bring this up to me pretty often kills me pretty upset about it kills me you don't like like the basketball coaches in a suit but jordans uh j, Jordans. No, I don't. But Jordans would be better. I feel like usually

it's like not good shoes either. It's like just any kind of sneaker. Yeah. You don't like it with suit. No, no, not like 99% of the time. It looks awful. It looks like, Oh, why'd you even put a suit on? You would look better in like nice jeans. Tell about the one percent i mean they're ex-athletes that have like very form-fitting suits that look really cool okay yeah i think all right i think i think uh a ryan clark you know who that is no uh ex-steelers guy that's on nfl primetime and stuff he would look cool with this is so random well he's like one of the most popular nfl analysts as far as ex-athletes go, I've never heard of him. Okay.

Charles Woodson. Yeah, Randy Moss or something like that. But I don't know if Randy Moss will look good in it. I think Randy Moss will look better in some nice Oxfords. Okay. I don't really have an opinion on this. Oh, I have a strong opinion on it. Anyway, Corporate Retreat was something.

It was fun. Yeah. So a couple of fun details. We, a former K-Life family that we have a relationship with, they let us use their lake house. The same video, same house that we filmed some early Gene Schwartz videos, the Airbnbs video and the 4th of July video were filmed there. So we went back. I think the temperature was in like the teens that day.

Lake house isn't really built to heat up very well. The temperature was in the low 60s the whole time we were there except for one bedroom that had two twin size beds in it uh and that's where brad and i planned out our entire year laying in beds next to each other yeah so imagine like this really cool like just very very normal nice like cabin not like a mansion or anything but just a nice cozy vibe of a cabin. And yeah, there's, and then they have this one room off to the side. It's definitely like they have two daughters and it's definitely like where the daughters like sleep. Yeah. Two twin

beds with like those classic like pillows with like the arms on them, you know, arms kind of wrap around your side. Yeah. Or not quite my sides, maybe your sides. Um, yeah. And yeah, it was, it was 10 degrees warmer in there at least it was so warm. Uh, and so there we are, you know, I'm imagining like us sitting around in this nice, like cozy, like living room. And instead we're just sitting on two different twin beds, you know, laptops on our laps, you know, just like, okay, so what do you think about this idea? What do you think is the reason we're doing this? Or, you know, all these different, it wouldn't be feasible to do this and uh there we are like there's like just like yeah there's like a quilt on the you know foot of our beds and

we're just hanging out baby it was cozy it's the most ghost runners thing we could have done yeah yeah sit in there right like just like not fancy but it's good enough exactly look at our studio right now nothing fancy but it's on youtube that's right gets the job done um see how it's fun it was just fun to we planned out just a ton and we have a bunch of big ideas and big plans uh especially for kind of the second half of this year right um it's gonna take a while for all of them to be implemented but yeah it's got a big like thing in may that we're kind of you know thinking yeah that's big yeah at one point we were looking into like when would be a good time to start that and i was like may probably wouldn't work that's when the tour starts and i get married and you're like whoa pause i like laughed i was like

like you kind of said it so casually like yeah i probably shouldn't do it in may and i was like yeah i agree brother but the second half of this year i think some really exciting but still like pretty like feasible stuff it's not like hey best case scenario we get to do all this. Right. We're going to, we're going to try to, yeah, be realistic about everything, but also be bullishly realistic. And also hopefully get to see you guys more.

Hopefully get to see you guys. Yes, that's right. But I know it's not fun just to hear people talk about their plans. So we'll, we'll get more excited whenever the time comes. But yeah, it was, it was fun. I feel like we just went over everything we want to do and want to accomplish. And we're on the same page on almost everything. Yeah. Really only thing I think we were even somewhat on different pages about, which is like personal success or personal goals. Sure. Which is probably fair. You want to share? Sure. I learned that, or I guess we both

learned to like, I'm trying to work hard now. So I don't have to work much later and Brad's down and just grind it out was's kind of the differences yeah yeah i'm i think i think innately i'm going to always have a desire to work to an extent i don't know i think there's there's boundaries though and i think i'm like i want to work hard but i don't want to you know exhaust myself necessarily yeah i don't think you want to work more than 50 hours a week, but you'd be fine with like a very full 40 to 50 for a while. Probably. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And your ideal was like, I would love to have a week or day off every week to golf. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. I don't need a ton of money just enough to support the family and then like, let's golf, baby. Let's golf,

baby. Let's pick a ball, whatever. Yeah. So yeah, that, yeah, we, it was fun to talk. It was so funny. Like I, I think, well, tell me if I'm wrong about this. I think you appreciate the retreat style stuff, but I was definitely the one like, Hey, we should try to do a retreat. We should do. I feel like I was like, I, I almost needed it. I think you like wanted it once I said it kind of thing. Like, yeah, like I just kept being like, dude, we got to take a step back and like, let's before we get, you know, whatever, like, that's just my personality. And so I was the one kind of like pushing for it the most. And so I was like, okay, when like literally like the Sunday night after the chiefs one,

I was like, I got to figure out what we're even going to, how we're going to do this thing. Like, you know, cause I don't know how to lead a retreat, let alone one with your best friend that you see every single day anyway. You know? So it's like, how do we do this? I don't want to waste our time, but I also don't want it to be like, all right. So I brought you here today, Jacob to, what are you thinking? So, uh, yeah, I tried to kind of do outlines and then we ended up somewhat using them, but mostly just like going as we went. It was great though. Big old document, a lot of goals, a lot of dreams, smart goals dreams smart goals yep it was fun went to a coffee shop the second day got recognized

it was kind of fun one girl recognized us she's like hey i love you guys videos and then she was then she followed up with like jake also i see you at church sometimes yeah like that was kind of fun and then her friend with her was like jake also did you do k-life yeah i was like wow what a fun like mix of two worlds and then your then- Your turn to know something about it. Yeah, what else do you guys know me about? And then probably an hour later, like, hey, would you guys, very loudly, I will say, they're like, hey, would you guys want to be in our Be Real in this coffee shop? I'm like, shh, yes.

Yes, it was so loud. But we did. Brad took his first Be Real. Yeah. How'd it feel? Good. I knew that it took a forward facing or whatever. It took one and

then takes the other one and but i thought that maybe we could see our face before it took the one of us didn't so i think you get to choose one or the other you either get to see them or you get to see yourself gotcha we so we chose them we chose them that's what we do that's what we do we're selfless like that so yeah uh actually speaking of not being selfless, uh, I did have a little story before you got to the retreat. Uh, I got there a couple hours before you did. And you know, I drive a truck. It's not a crazy huge truck, but I get to this, I get to this, uh, lake house and they have a driveway and it's a tiny driveway. Like hindsight, I shouldn't have never tried to park in this

driveway. You physically could not fit your truck in there. No, like, no, you could barely fit your car in there. Yeah. And so, uh, I go to pull in thinking I'm good. I wasn't going fast, but I didn't have my foot anywhere near the break. I was pulling, you know, it was like one of those three mile per hour. Here I go kind of things. And then all of a sudden I hit something hard, like, like, Oh snap. Like I might've just messed up my truck's alignment or something. And so, and, and like, yeah, like I said, like, I think I was being selfish, but at the same time, maybe in my head, I thought I would stay for a few hours, then go get some coffee and come back. That's my trying to justify it in hindsight. I'm like, I wasn't being that selfish towards Jake. I would've let

him park in the driveway anyway. Cause there's another spot like right across the street that I could have parked. So anyway, I'm like, dang it. And so I pull up, you know, go in reverse and I go to the spot across the street and I get out and my truck tire is just complete. It was like a balloon had, you know, a pin had popped my balloon, you know, and the tire was completely flat, uh, comically flat. And so I had to call multiple people at triple a like my my vision in my head was like i can get to you know the lake house a couple hours before jake and just have a nice relaxing time and instead the whole time i just had to like call people from triple a yeah just be like hey yeah you know i tried something something happened i straight up told

i was like you see that because it was like these like landscaped rocks and they were a little bit jagged. And I was like, I think it just popped it. It was cold outside, whatever. And so I was just the idiot that didn't know how to, you know, park a car. So it's fine. It made it all worth it. Cause Jake, you know, got to drive me and get a new tire. That's right. Um, anyway, but yeah, retreat was really fun. be real was like best part for sure um it was fun i think uh at one point during the retreat i was like brad remind me again when do you um when do you need to leave tomorrow and uh it was so funny just like glossed over the moment you were like i think like middle of late afternoon and i was like all right and i didn't think anything of it and i thought i stuttered over it like the yeah i was like, all right. And I didn't think anything of it. And I thought I stuttered over like the.

Yeah, I was like, yeah, go ahead. Just yeah. Middle middle after late in the afternoon. Yeah. I was like, all right. And then you're good. Yeah. Cool.

Work until then. And in hindsight, I thought like I just like so easy. It's like, yeah, I know exactly when that is. So today on the podcast, we're going to do a quiz where you have to decide what time of day is this with vague descriptions. Okay. Okay. Everyone can play at home as well.

Oh, fun. So late at night, late at night, I want you to think of your time and then I'll let you know what my time is. Oh, you wrote down. I wrote down my own times too. Late at night. So yeah, if you want to ask follow up questions. Yeah, yeah.

I can use it in a sentence. It's like a spelling bee. Late at night. What day of the week? Wednesday. Wednesday. Late at night. So yeah, if you want to ask follow up questions. Yeah, yeah. I can use it in a sentence. It's like a spelling bee. Late at night. What day of the week? Wednesday. Wednesday. Late at night. Yeah.

And okay. Yeah. Wednesday late at night for me is 1130. Okay. Yeah. I put 1055. Whoa. Really?

Late at night. Well, if you would have said, hey, it's 1055 late at night on a Wednesday, I would have said, yeah. It's still a false net category. It's not precise. Yeah, yeah, yeah. late at night on a Wednesday. I would have said, yeah. It's still a false in that category. She's not as precise. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Pretty early this morning.

And then you both just say something vague. And then if you can afford to be a little bit like off schedule, that'd be fun. Just, Oh yeah. Don't even clarify. You guys want to get coffee sometime? Like I'm working at a coffee shop.

You want to come get lunch pretty early Friday morning and just see when you, when you get there, you want to get, yeah. You want to get coffee. Uh, you know, once you, you know, once you wake up and shower on Saturday, something like that. Yeah. Hey, Sunday morning before you get going, before you get going, Ooh, before you get going is a good one before you even like, once you get going, I like that before you get going. I just liked that phrase in general. Hey, Monday on Monday, once it's all said and done, can you shoot me a call? Once it's all said and done is to me post bedtime I don't know when you get that phone call yeah I don't know yeah the vague time descriptions could be fun

bedtime in general what is bedtime bedtime kids bedtime my bedtime yeah both I don't know yeah it's your oats could be fun this could be a recurring thing maybe I want to see some action in the Facebook group on this like I want to see some screenshots i want to see like you guys testing this out with your friends your spouses whatever yeah it could be a fun thing yeah yeah yeah i like i like all that just like being like yes meet me in early to late afternoon like the late part of the early afternoon yeah that's fun i do say it say that a lot like where i'll be like let's do like a late morning early afternoon kind of thing like in which i think that's a little more understandable but i think i do that in tech sometime like

they'll probably we'll probably see you guys like either late afternoon early evening yeah and that means like 4 30 yeah maybe five yeah i was gonna say that that's a window late afternoon early evening is is a is a solid 4 to 5 45 um the reason i mentioned all the late afternoon, whatever it was because my dad and I were going to a KU game that night. It was a big one. It was KUK state. It's been a big week ever since I've gotten, I ordered a sporty good times hat from Harrison ever since I've received it. My teams haven't lost. So shout out Harrison. If you're an Eagles fan, I'd order a sporty good times right now. Uh, or a cheese fan. Um, but yeah, we went to the game and my dad is awesome. And I think he's getting old. I think he's, he's doing some things that I'm like, okay, dad,

you, you don't need to do that. Like, um, one of them was so, so like our seats right now, I'll try to explain it quickly, but like my dad has season tickets and we are on like the third and fourth people from the aisle. And then the fifth and sixth seats kind of have a very slight curve to the aisle. And so if you can imagine four and five hit knees just a little bit, it's not like a right angle or anything, but there's a little bit of an angle there to where it gets pretty squeezed. And so if five and six are already there and then four and five come in, big boys, they're like, oh gosh, we got to squeeze in. Um, anyway, that's, that's part number two, I guess.

But, uh, our tickets are like, for whatever reason, I can explain it more, but I don't need to. Sometimes people have to stand up, uh, to the right, right to the right of us. And it kind of bleeds over. And so sometimes we have to stand up. And so the person in front of us was standing up, even though he didn't really need to. And you know, I'm fine with it. I understand that like, if I stand up, it's a domino effect for everyone else behind me. You have to be very, you go to sporting event, concert, church, very socially aware of the unnecessary standing. Yes. I had on a swivel. There was, I finally stood up, like gave it up at one point. And immediately after I stood up, I turned behind me and I go, I'm sorry.

You started a wave probably behind you. But the lady behind me, she knew her role. She said she stayed sitting down. So anyway, but my dad, like in the most, like whatever, like passive aggressive way, like, like, you know, a normal talking voice is probably a four out of 10. He's talking to me at a six, seven out of 10. And he goes, Brad, can you see? Okay. And I, I, at first I didn't know what he was saying. Like, and I could kind of see around them and like, uh, you know, where, where I couldn't see the court very well was when Kay was on defense. I was like, it's fine. I can,

you know, figure out what happens there. And I was like, yeah, it's fine. It's fine. And my dad goes, okay. Yeah. They'll probably sit down pretty soon. I just go, dad, you's fine. It's fine. And my dad goes, okay, yeah, they'll probably sit down pretty soon. I just go, dad, you don't need to do this. Like you don't need, you don't need to, you don't need to do this for me. And I kind of look at it like, dad, stop. And he just kind of laughs. He's like, so anyway, then at halftime it was, you would have probably hated it. Rachel would have loved it. It was boiling hot in this field house.

Cause it was like 10 degrees outside. So it was like, Brad, you're not too it. It was boiling hot in this field house. Cause it was like 10 degrees outside. So it was like, Brad, you're not too hot. Are you Brad? You don't wish that people would scoot down a little bit. Do you? Hey Brad.

Uh, yeah. These people standing aren't getting sweaty on, on your, uh, you're not getting any sweat on your back. Are you Brad from somebody behind you? Kneeing you in the back too hard?

No. Um, but we decided to walk around and we walk and we go get a drink and we get back to our, uh, we get back to our seats and sit down and my dad goes, Hey, where's my, where's my Pepsi? Where's my diet Pepsi? And I was like, Pepsi, where's my jet? I don't have Brad. Where's my Pepsi? I don't have your diet Pepsi. He's like, you carried it. You took it out of there after I paid for it. And I was like, no, I didn't. You had it in your hand. And I thought he was messing with me. And I kind of like started laughing and he starts laughing.

So I was like, okay, maybe he is messing with me. No, we're just giggling. And I think he was kind of laughing because of the fact that he actually realized he did forget it maybe. But then he wasn't positive. I think he's just getting older to the point where he's like, maybe I do have my Pepsi. Maybe I put it on the ground when I sat down. But we are so tightly compacted in these seats and big boys like my dad and I can't really like look around. We can't look around.

It's hard enough for us to bend over with the tummies that we have because they get in the way they push up towards the breasticles. And so I've never said breasticles before. I don't know if I'll ever say it again. That's fine. Have you ever heard that before? I don't know if not from you. I've heard a lot of people.

Have you? Okay. Yeah. The breastbone. And so my dad literally just kind of like called time of death on his his drink because he's like i can't i can't even reach down to see if i can find it down there he's like he's like you're not thirsty are you brad you can't turn around see if somebody has a drink under their feet can you oh it was so funny i mean we just both died laughing because

like you know my dad and you could tell near the end of the game, he was like thirsty. He's like, and so I will say at the end of the game, I did like reach down. Like when we were stood up to like leave and I couldn't find the drink. So I think he literally kept it. Like he didn't pick it up.

So you think he just left it at the counter? I think he did. I think he thought that I was taking it. But anyway, it was just a funny, like he didn't, he wasn't positive that he didn't pick it up and put it on the ground. Anyway, it was just a funny time.

So love you, Dad. You're the best. Funny time. Funny time. What's 2FA security on Kraken? Let's say I'm captaining my soccer team and we're up by a goal against, I don't know, the Burlington Bulldogs. Do we relax? No way.

This is one, uh, that we had the idea for, and I had like scheduled it out. Like we'll do it in like three months. And Jake's like, I think we should do that. I love it now. now well it's got such a creative name it's a super creative name you guys are gonna i'm gonna have to explain it one you're gonna hear the name you're like what in the world what's that mean the segment is called ask the girls say it one more time in case they didn't ask the girls ask the girlsy question okay um we're gonna bring in different horse girls no no it's just gonna be literally you can go and submit a question right now

ghostrunners.life slash interact there's also an interact tab on our on our website can i stop right there you know what i'm tired of forward slash and backslash i'm tired of people differentiating that i never know the difference i don't know the difference whoever uses the other one just whatever the one is that's going top left to bottom right. No one's doing that. No one's using that thing. I don't know if it's a first. I don't even know.

I don't put that on my computer. I know you have to shift before you do it, right? I honestly don't. I don't see it. No, it's up here. It's not even a shifter. That thing is, that thing, I'm going to take it off right now. Can I take this key off?

Can I just pop that key out? I am. I'm going to try. Give me a freaking. There might be a screwdriver down below you, Tommy. I've got a, there's pliers over here. I don't need that thing. I don't need that thing.

This is a terrible idea. This is like killing the value. Captain's gonna be like, what happened to your computer? No, good. This is a good clip. Let the record show that Brad is so sick of the the forward slash i'm videoing this bad boy this thing is oh man i'm just like ripping up my just know i hate it all right i can't get it right now yeah we were in church thank you love my church but they're like so you're gonna want to go to

abundantlife.co forward slash merge class and i was like i can't even like comprehend or like focusing more i'm like hold on is that the difference in the back but i'm looking at it i'm like that looks like a normal slash i think that's a backslash i'm still frustrated about yeah get it out of there i'm using i'm going nail oh i think I got it I got it yeah goodbye forward slash stink it forward slash you're dead to me I'm done

I'm done with it don't believe me ask my computer that's great whatever I could probably do that to more keys but I'm not gonna right now i think that's great

I'm not saying you have to. I'm not endorsing like you, you know,

defaming or like destroying your own property. I would feel really, really valued if you ripped out that key though. This week on Instagram, I want you guys to put on your story.

Yes, guys. It's a very good conversation. So two, we've had multiple great conversations with people that are going to sponsor us in the future. And I'm so excited.

And if you would want to be another one, holler. Holler at us. That's all I'll say. We love, we love meetings. I really do. You could tell I was buzzing after those meetings. You were, you were fired up. Like that, that gives me life for sure.

Yeah. Yeah. And anyway, part of this, I mean, this was like a, the initial phone call with this company. We have no official relationship, but they were, were so nice. And so just thoughtful. Like, yeah, Jake, you're a big golf guy. We're actually sponsors of a golf tournament next week in Phoenix. You want to come down and compete in it?

Yeah. And we were just buzzing. Celebrity golf tournament. Celebrity. Yeah. Program or something like that. We're like, Oh my gosh.

I'm like, is this the tournament that Josh Allen is not going to the pro bowl to play in? Like, I don't know what tournament this is. It's so fun. And anyway, so we're looking at flights. They confirm like,

yeah, your looks good, Brad. You can even just come and hang. Yeah. I was like, can I just come and like, cause they asked,

can I tell the whole story? Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. they were like because i was like the whole the whole sorry the whole call was incredible like we had so many connections with this guy i can't wait for them to sponsor the show so we can talk about it more um maybe even have him on the show but he was like you know i told him how i had a woodworking business and his wife was like oh he loves I told him how I had a woodworking business and his wife was like, oh, he loves woodworking. He'd probably have a woodworking business if it weren't for this. Either that or he would golf all the time. And I was just like, I just looked over at Jake. I was like, this is nuts.

Like, so this guy is like so awesome. So I was like, yeah. And by the way, you know, my friend Jake has this podcast or Mood Swings, this golf channel. And he's like, is he any good at golfing? And I was like, yeah, he's good. He's like, is T he's like is he any good at golfing uh and i was like yeah he's good he's like is trey is training good i was like i think i said is jake any good at golf and i was like i hear from people like that have only or that know that jake's only been playing for a couple years that jake is one of the best golfers they've ever seen in you know the first

two years they're like oh cool is trey good at golfing too? I was like, Trey's only been playing for two years. And I, I hear that it shows. I was like, and I was, and I said like, I am bad at golf. Like, I think golf is really hard. Like, I don't think it's, I think Trey's more normal than Jake. You know what I mean? Like Jake just picked it up really quickly is what I was trying to be nice about. So, so I was like, but I think Jake would love to come play with you guys. Um, so yeah, they were like all in and they're like, yeah, come on would love to come play with you guys. Yeah. So, yeah, they were like all in. They're like, yeah, come on. Like next week, let's do this thing. And so we're like, let's do it.

And this would have been Phoenix, the same city as the Super Bowl, the same week as the Super Bowl. Yes. It would have been just nuts. Who knows what kind of chief stuff we could have got into down there. Right. And we're excited. I'm like, well, I mean, how much are flights and hotels going to be?

Looks like a great one. Yeah. Flights are 500 bucks for both of us. Yes. They're in back. So affordable. We're like, this is an investment in this company working with us. Let's do it.

The one hiccup that we are foreseeing was this company. Well, let's talk about that later. Okay. You think it's a future? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Okay. Yeah. It could be a future. Cause I think it's, it's going to be funny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Well, either way, it's not happening. Don't have to worry about anything. Yeah. Yeah yeah they realized they filled their spots on accident so oh yeah so we're not going but hey we get to work together next week still yes it'll be fun we just stay put it's gonna be great she's going to super bowl either way so yeah that's true around the same time i was looking into that i was um you know i'm figuring out what i'm gonna wear i'm excited like what's the weather in phoenix you know brad's talking about like i gotta get some golf gear i'm like maybe you can hook brad up some bad birdie stuff and i find this story that um so on the pga tour that's their thing they have to wear pants like live golf those hooligans they can wear shorts and they're just

animals you know oh really pga you gotta wear pants always have had to strict dress code even in like dead of july august yeah augusta just steaming that's why they call it Augusta because go ahead anyway this guy this golfer this past week by the name of Sam Ryder decided to- Oh, the Ryder Cup. That's right. That's his event. He wore joggers. I didn't think anything of it. I'm looking at a picture of him now. I think he looks great. He looks very normal out there.

Let's see this guy. And dude, the internet was freaking out. I mean, you know, kind of the golf world, just like these old white guys, they don't like change and they do have Twitter accounts. Yes. So I'm going to read you a tweet from Phil Mickelson.

And this is going to sound like it's a parody, but this is legitimately what he tweeted. OK. OK. The tour doesn't allow shorts, but does allow this week's leader to wear joggers with ankle socks showing four inches of ankle? Question mark. I'm no fashion guy, but there are some things i won't ever understand give me a break isn't that ridiculous i mean yes yeah it is it's just like unbelievably like what i'm looking at phil mickelson's pants they're not like bell bottoms on the bottom like they're

they're like tapered down that's what jog joggers are. They're just tighter pants. They just have elastic at the bottom. Whoa. You can't do that. Phil Mickelson is, I can't believe he got so specific. He's like four inches of ankle. What's next?

Nudity? Like four inches of ankle. Like why is that? Like Phil Mickelson recently went to live golf and I feel like he is already acting like the Saudi Arabian government. You know, he's already like, hey, I don't know if skin should be allowed.

There is no way I'm looking at these pictures. There's no way that's four inches of ankle. There's no way that is. I'm a woodworker, so I know, you know, measurements. Well, that is one in three eighths at most. No, unless this guy was doing high knees between shots to his ball. No way it gets up to four inches. Yeah, I will say, yeah, if if he was bragging and like making a great shot and then pulling up his pants a little bit, you know, going like a

little bit like Benjamin Franklin, like knickers, like that, that's one thing. But I think that he's fine with these. They, if anything, they look, I don't know, not truly cleaner. You know, on one hand I'm like, Hey, wear some Oxford's with your, with your suit. Like that's, that's important to me. On the other hand, it's like, I think that, you know, a more tailored fit on a golf course looks great. I think this looks great. I think it's great. It looks awesome. What else is he going to be frustrated about? Like, I don't know. It's just such a golf thing. It's just too bad for the, for the sport, for the industry of golf, such a bad look. Is it like, so embarrassing? Is it only, uh, I'm sure it's not, but so embarrassing is it only uh i'm sure it's not but like is it

only the wardrobe that they have like restrictions on like can you have an orange club or something like that like like is it like so not like like a such a fun sucking thing that's like you can't have any like a cool red spot on your club because that's illegal all right as far as i know i think you can go crazy this guy ricky fowler he was oklahoma state guy he was like very orange that's the thing it's like you can you as long as you're wearing pants that that that kills me it's like you can wear a pink cheetah print if you want but don't let me see your ankle yes i i just can't i can't stay on the ankle like john daly's pants are so wide and so huge and it's like he's fine but man this this guy with his you know tailored tailored fit does not look good it's like they're all these like replies to him i guess phil mickelson has

kind of funny on the interwebs today uh it was yesterday actually uh did you see this thing about the it was on Reddit, it was this woman or is this man complaining about his wife not introducing him correctly? You know, I think I saw this on Twitter, but I, it was too long so I didn't read it. So I don't know. It's worth the read. So let me just

read this and we can kind of interject along the way. So Reddit does this thing, A-I-T-A am I the jerk basically as well yes yes yes yeah they spelled jerk weird it must be i don't know finnish or something uh am i the jerk for asking my wife to respect my title as a pilot uh so it says i need the opinions of av geeks and pilots on a matter involving my wife i'm completely serious and i need help all caps that's not a good start if you have to be like guys, this is serious before we get going.

Trust me. Not a joke. No, seriously. Seriously, guys. Uh, my wife and I,

who have been together for five years, married for two, no kids. I don't know why that's relevant. Whatever. Sorry. I still just can't get over. Like,

I'm serious. Like, take me seriously. I seriously don't have kids. Like having to ask for them to take you seriously. That's never a good start. Like not a lot of Ted talk. Start with like, before we having to ask for them to take you seriously. That's never a good start. Like not a lot of TED Talks start with like, before we get going, like, please take me seriously.

Like, please just trust me. Just know this is serious. Guys, just listen to me, please. Okay? Think of all your favorite sermons. Even some of Jesus' sermons. Sermon on the Mount. He was like, hey, before we get going.

Come on. I am serious. Guys, no cap. Okay? What you're about Guys, no cap. Okay. What you're about to hear is serious. Okay. So I expect you to respect it. Thanks.

So my wife and I have an amazing, happy relationship. I can't recall a single time we've ever argued to the point of a breakup or divorce. I can't recall a single time we've broken up or divorced. I love that. We might have divorced, but if we did i don't remember as far as i can remember man like i don't yeah what is what does annulment mean i remember that word getting thrown around but other than that no yeah it's different than divorce uh okay reading on

this issue however is causing me to reconsider the health of our relationship since my wife and i have been together i've worked as a manager for a restaurant chain. I'm an extremely passionate aviation enthusiast in my free time. Wait, is this Scott reading this? Dude, by the way, the Facebook group, the three posts in a row right now are about Top Gun. Really? Yeah. It's getting littered with Top Gun content. It's just relevant right now, I guess. Okay. I'm an extremely passionate aviation enthusiast in my free time. I have spent thousands of dollars on flight textbooks,

sim gear, and even built my own A330 as setup. A330 setup. I'm starting to think, I know why this guy doesn't have kids. He might be spending a little bit too much time in the cockpit, if you know what I mean. I've never actually flown a plane or started flight training,

but I have considered it for a long time. I would hope you're at least considering it if you're doing all that. Let me read that again, though. I've never actually flown a plane or started flight training, but I have considered it for a long time. I would hope you're at least considering it if you're doing all that. Let me read that again though. I've never actually flown a plane or started flight training. Even though my skills are not a career, I still consider myself as, as adept or possibly more knowledgeable than the average pilot. That being said, here's where the problem arises. My wife and I were invited to one of her male coworkers house for a barbecue. My wife's a senior software tech for a COVID startup. She's worked there since 2020, a lucky catch after she was laid off from her previous job

due to the virus. A lucky catch for a senior software tech engineer to just land on their feet. What's a COVID startup? New variants? What did they create? I think I'm assuming that it was like startup during COVID. I don't know. Anyway, it was my first time meeting many of our now close co-workers due to covid and working from home i'd assume she talked about me before but as we were cycling through introductions i

became less sure we make our way down the line to the host of the party a new male hire that she has grown platonically close with we exchange casual conversations and Greg, the host asked me what I do for a living. My wife chimes in with, he manages a fast food chain. It certainly comes with some benefits. I'm assuming she's referring to free food. And it's a voice that is implied. Nothing was wrong with what she said. I very quickly corrected her and told him that I am a pilot. My wife already knows how insecure I am about my job and how I'd rather be introduced by my hobby. I've earned the title of pilot through my 500 plus hours on and sim on a sim and thousands of dollars put into my craft. I think it's incredibly disrespectful for her not to acknowledge my skills and training.

Just because I don't have the title of pilot of an on an overpriced piece of paper doesn't mean I'm not a pilot. I laughed it off with Greg, told him under my breath that my wife was often forgetful, which I'm sure he's realized just from working with her. He seemed to brush it off casually. At this point I'm fuming, but I don't go much farther than exchanging some nasty glances at my wife for the rest of the night. As we pack into the car to leave, the argument starts. She feels as if I don't deserve my title as a pilot because I'm not professional. Duh. I told her she's completely insensitive to the work I've done and she will never understand what it's like to study so much. She's currently on the couch as I type this. Am I the jerk for asking to be respected?

She's currently on the couch. She's right next to me. I love that he said, I can't imagine that she doesn't understand what it's like to study this much as someone who has a, has an engineering degree. That's the funniest part to me is just like, this guy's like, she like has, has so little like appreciation for how much his wife has done in order to be an engineer. She doesn't even understand what I've, what I've gone through to get to where I am. There's so many fallacies. He was like, what are we going to do? Spend a lot of money on something like a piece of paper. I've spent thousands of dollars on thousands of dollars on hours. Time is time is not money.

I guess I maybe I heard, right? Yeah. It's like because he spent so much money on textbooks, he wants to be called a pilot, but he's recognizing that because I don't have this piece of paper that would cost money, I don't get to be called a pilot by most people. You know, it just doesn't make any sense. I just love the idea of like, like, and Catherine, what does your husband do? Oh yeah.

He's a woodworker and also does social media. It's like, uh, what? I took out the trash yesterday. Yeah. Why didn't you say that? I was a connoisseur of different drinks at McDonald's. I have spent so much money and so much time drinking McDonald's Coca-Cola's

in my lifetime. Can you please respect me for my hobbies? It's so ridiculous. Like this guy actually has one singular unilateral job that he has. He manages a restaurant. That's easy. What do you do for a job?

Yeah, I do probably four or five different things. I could see Rachel introducing me by the wrong thing. this guy has one job well how can you get upset that your wife doesn't introduce you by your one job you have it's a very understandable job it's not like oh he's a consultant it's like i don't know what that's tricky to describe it's like he works for a restaurant he's a manager at a restaurant i know i've been to a restaurant i know what that is i can talk about that you. You know, instead it's like, let's, because the next question, when somebody says, oh, he's a pilot.

Oh, who do you fly for? Exactly. Living room. Haven't flown an actual plane yet. And then all of a sudden, oh, your husband's a weirdo. Like, why would he say he's delusional at this point? Yeah, I'd like to call him up.

Hey, let's do some role play where your wife introduces you as a pilot. Let's just see what naturally happens afterwards. See if this goes the way you want it to. Do you think he has wings? Do you think he like bought his own wings? Dude, he's bought a lot of weird crap. But yeah, there's a lot of stuff in that basement.

Yeah, I just I love it. So yeah, I'm trying to think what I've spent time and money on. Like Rachel's like, yeah, this is Jake. Yeah, he's the yeah, social media guy, whatever. And I was like, excuse me, I'm a golfer. I'm a golfer.'m a tell him about what i've spent so much time on she's like sorry he's this is mr totino's that's right that's what i

asked her to call me oh you like work for totino's no but you'd be surprised like not only how many i can consume in one sitting it's not a snack to me ask my friend brad but two just the the efficiency that i bring when it comes to baking and caring for that no one does it like i do no it's i want to be known for i want to be introduced for that i want to be endorsed on linkedin for that yes i'm normal i'm the i'm you're the weirdo you're looking weird to greg what are your hobbies greg thinks you're weird now running a company covid startup what's next zeta i like the idea of him. Like he'd be like, Oh, what do you do? Yeah. I, uh, I manage a small, you know, I'm an accountant for a, you know, a small business.

No, but like, like, what do you do? Like, what's your job? What's your hobby? Like five, like pickleball golf, you know, uh, cooking leather goods. Like what's your job? Not, not, not your, not your, not your hobby, you know, leather goods yeah you a tanner right yeah you tan uh what's your job no no like your job like i'm a pilot like what's your job it's just so odd that yeah the whole thing is funny to me so i just had to bring it up because i thought jake jake would think this is funny that was great i really did see that on twitter and i was like oh this is like going viral but i. But I was like, that's a lot of words. I'm not going to read that. So I'm glad I got to hear it. There you go. That's fun. Just wait till we're getting paid for reading it and then we can read, you know, read together on the podcast. So

yes, I have one more thing to read real fast. It's a text from Steve Triplett that just came through. Oh yeah, you laughed really hard. I was like, what was that? Yeah. So if you don't know, Steve Triplett is in the bachelor party group chat, Jake's dad, he's the best man. And he's been sending us countdown numbers, but has dropped the ball a little bit. We'll say just not doing it every day. Like he used to, he's, I was talking to him on the phone. He's like, I don't know if they like it. They never really say anything. Okay. I'll give him, he does. He does need some, uh, some feedback more often. I don't think he ever texts millennials. Yeah.

So he doesn't really know what to expect. And I think there, there is like a understanding Steve of like, when you're in a group chat, you don't want to muddy up the group chat too much with little responses. Unless it's really like buzzing and going. Yes. You don't want to send 15 people a notification. Cause all of a sudden your phone's going crazy in your pocket while you're at a business meeting as a pilot.

And you're like, excuse me, let me check this. I got to put the landing gear down. 15 people like the message, you know, whatever. So that's, that's part of my reasoning, but it's good group chat etiquette. Like I haven't even responded to this yet. And I laughed hard out loud at it, you know, so just Steve know that we appreciate it. Um, so Garrett said, what's the count Steve? And Steve responds 68, which is the days, uh, you know, 68 days left. He says 68, the year OJ Simpson won the Heisman trophy. Second place was Leroy keys,

a running back from Purdue. Third place was Terry hand ready, Terry hand ready quarterback for Notre Dame. Fourth place was Ted Qualic tight end Penn state. And last place was Ted Hendricks, defensive end university of Miami. OJ still holds the record for most people murdered out of that group that's great it's waiting for you waiting for the punchline there

it's like there it is stevie so i really didn't know i was like i was just where is he going is he gonna like throw himself on the list or i don't know what was happening yes so great still holds the record yes to this day what a guy most people murdered that's fun fun times fun times um good stuff good stuff i just checked our youtube studio brand i tried something new today um we just traded this like a month or two ago it worked for him like hey let's do it i don't love this tone uh it's fine it's fine okay it's only a nine out of ten but it's right there with the other ones great it's not like the dog mom's video which is hey didn't find its audience that's okay yeah basically brad and i just reposted a video that we've already made to our youtube channel

and just kind of pretended like it was a new video yep trade it got like half a million views so like oh that's awesome if trey can do anything we can do. Okay. So we might try to do that just like once a month or something. I don't know. Just, just learning. We'll see. Just learn. And,

um, okay, Brad, you want to do a review of the week? Yes, I do. Okay. What is your review of the week?

My review of the week. Let me see where to go. Um, I'm going to do this one. Uh, this one's from, she ate the cookie, uh, January 3rd, 2023. What, whatever you're listening to, Let me see where to go. I'm going to do this one. This one's from She Ate the Cookie. January 3rd, 2023.

Whatever you're listening to, stop and listen to this instead. Five stars. I'm so thankful I found these guys before my most recent move to Georgia. My husband is in the military, and usually the first year in moving to a new place is the hardest socially. Add to it that I'm pregnant and working from home, and I can honestly say Jake and Brad have such uplifting and entertaining banter that it helps all these new transitions in my life. I'd recommend them to anyone who wants some positive, clean and funny talk in their lives. So I love, I love the idea of, you know, I think we all just know what it's like to, to do something hard, to do a new life stage, to feel, you know, less than, you know, involved in the community. And so I just

love that we were able to help you in some small way. So thank you for your review. And it was a five-star review. I think I said that, but I'm going to say it again, because we always appreciate those. Go Georgia, go dogs, or jackets or Falcons. Good Hawks. My five-star review says Braves. I discovered this podcast sometime last year. The Adasta State. It is a sweet encouragement as a wife of 17 years and mother to seven kids. Point University. The love these two guys have for Jesus, each other, their wife and fiance, extended family and friends is definitely something we need more of.

I don't have any more. Definitely a bright point. So thank you to whoever left that review. It was five stars. It was five stars. It came in at five out of five stars. So thank you for those. We always appreciate them. Still looking for those nine stars that we did get briefly. Weird bug. Brad,

do you want to end this episode with a jingle? Yeah. Let me pull it up real quick. This one's from a new jingle writer. New jingle writer. As far as I know. And honestly, I'm a little bit afraid to admit this just in case we have interacted before. This is a name that I don't remember ever seeing before. Cool.
