Oh, Brad, something bad has happened to me recently. That's not good. Bad is not good. I'll just get right to it. I think I might be done with milk. No, no, no, no. I think I might be done. Just the jury is out and the jury is in my stomach and the jury is gurgling a lot.

You got a jurgle, jurgle, jurgle? Yeah. A jury of gurglers. Case of the Monday jurgles right now. Sorry, guys, but I need to excuse myself. I, jurgle. Yeah. Jury of gurglers. Case of the Monday jurgles right now. I, sorry guys, but I need to excuse myself. I am jurgling like crazy. Sorry, what do you mean? Oh, when the jury's out and they're jurgling.

Yeah. That's what's going on. When the jury's jurgling. Yeah. Wait, so it's not like you don't like milk anymore. It's like. The passion. Your body is not saying that you can like milk anymore.

The passion is there. Yes. Love milk. I'll always love milk. Sure. And that's the thing. I've defended milk on this podcast. Absolutely.

I've defended milk to my friends. I think we've called ourselves a PMP, a pro milk podcast. 100%. I don't know what you've heard about me, but we are a PMP, right? Ever since Curtis Jackson said it, we have said it too. That's right. I mean, yeah, we had like old like bits about this like because i remember i can still remember i had a friend who like milk shamed me she's like

you don't realize we're the only mammal that drinks another mammal's milk or that we're the only male that has clothes and instagram it's not the only thing yeah other animals that case looking around like you're the only people wearing shoes us and horses right and what's with us and the monkeys with the thumbs only two of us right yeah i don't think other animals are like sitting around like watching judging me for drinking look at this weirdo how barbaric yeah right i can't believe him wait yeah i'm i can't yeah i remember there was one time we even were like yeah you just had a glass of milk with your sandwich or something somebody's like you're drinking milk and i was like yeah yeah

that's what we do especially yeah i've always been a big fan anything with red sauce in it give it a try spaghetti pizza yeah uh calzone yeah nice calzone milk calzone milk but you might be gone from all this yeah like a couple weeks ago i um rachel and i were celebrating something she was like let's go to andy's like okay i haven't had ice cream in months had some andy's and can i just interrupt real quick uh i like the idea of like rachel and i were celebrating something she's like you know what let's just go get some milk like i like the idea of like you know what let's just get a get a nice gallon let's go half gallon instead of like instead of like a aged bottle of wine like hey let's just let's just go find ourselves a nice gallon you deserve it have some added sugar you

know yeah maybe a recycle recyclable glass and so yeah we got Andy's, which if you don't, if you're not in like in the Midwest, like it's very thick, frozen custard. It's about as like fatty as you can get for ice cream. And so I didn't feel great afterwards, but I thought, hey, I haven't had thick ice cream in months. That's probably why. Right. And then last night, Rachel, once again, she always said she's so proud of me.

She's like, wow, six months. You've had like this been doing this no added sugar thing. Very good. Here's some frosted flakes. I'm like, well, are you proud of me or do you want me to eat frosted flakes and so of course i'm gonna eat the frosted flakes and oh they went down easy oh sure it was so fun and i was like rachel i want another bowl of these i'm not going to i'm not going to did you drink the milk after of course of course it was awesome are you a uh slurp from the bowl or are you a use your spoon for the milk uh drinker you you gotta start from the spoon until it's like all right oh really yeah i'll go for it now i just

need to yeah tilt the bowl back oh man let it go and basically just all last night i woke up in the middle of the night with my stomach hurting and i it was like just i told rachel this morning i said i have i have like cramps i have your cramps yes yamps your cramps you're gonna combine every two engagement cramps i have in gamps i mean gamping like i couldn't like just lay down flat like all last night i'm just like writhing around in bed and i'm just and i'm sure every girl's like welcome to our world but it was not fun holy cow i gotta take some might i'll get over this so yeah i'm like in the fetal position trying to fall asleep but just all day today i won't get too gross i've just been burping

and farting all day shooting today i'm just gurgling i hate how i feel and so i might be done with the milk which is not fun because i can specifically remember every man once in their life is going to be told no more milk no your mother. Right. You reach a certain age. I remember my mom to me was like, Hey, I think it's time. Listen. Yeah. You read chapter books, Jake. I got, yeah. You got, uh, you got to stop, uh, getting your milk from me. All right. Now run off to eighth grade. But I, I didn't expect to have to be cut off from milk a second time in life. And that's what I'm going through. Okay.

Prayers up to Jake. Uh, I don't know. I don't know how to help you, but I will research into it and anything I can do to keep you on the wagon. Thank you. And if anyone else has any juggling going on, leave a comment.

Yeah. I don't want any private DMS. All right. I'm out here. I'm spilling out there. You got to leave a you let us know if you are just struggling inside with jurgles with jurgles i wanted to see public facebook post public comments that's it roll the theme music milkers oh oh i think this type beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white

me too midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet because it's the Ghost Rubs Podcast. Listen here, you milkers. Okay, that was a five-minute intro. That took a while, but I think we covered a lot of ground. I'm milking it. I'm milking it. Bo and Hattie, just real quick. I know we're going to get back into it.

They, right now, are obsessed with milk because they're kids and they're awesome. Yeah. And Hattie, especially, is obsessed with milk mustaches. You don't think about milk mustaches these much anymore, but like she purposely gives herself a milk. Like she could drink it without needing the milk mustache, but she like, like just like stains her face

basically with milk every single time. And she will, you know, like show me like she's proud of this milk mustache. Like go and look in the mirror at her milk mustache.

So it just got to reach levels where she's just dumping on herself. Look, milk face mask. Yeah, exactly. Milk beard. Come on. It's a milk beard. Who else is doing milk beard uh milk soul patch milk candle bars milk fu manchu dad come on

milk neared i gotta shave my milk neared yeah i love that she's, it's just dripping from her neck. That is great. Oh man. Milk bangs. That's funny. Yeah. So catch it, catch it while it's early. Before we get to the podcast, we got to travel back in time.

Yeah. Cause it's Monday, February 13th. Something happened last night. As of recording this, we don't know. We don't know the outcome of the Super Bowl, but let's go back in time briefly to the night before. Let's hear from Jake and Brad, their Super Bowl thoughts. Jake, we did it, baby. We did it.

We being the Kansas City Chiefs football team that we're definitely a part of. We watched it on TV. We cheered for the team that did it. Yes, we did nothing but cheer, but we did it. We did have fun. We cheered hard. We had fun with our friends. Gunnar kissed me on the neck at one point. This is me. Wait, popping some bottles. And my bottles, it is a weird off-brand Navy SEAL endorsed energy drink. Yes. All natural. Everybody ever heard of Kill Cliff Energize Times Recover?

Because it's the true drink of a champion tonight. For the first time I've tried it. It was a fun night. I'm sure. I'm exhausted. I know. In some ways, of course, I want to just scream and go nuts right now. But in other ways, it's just like, let's just take a breath, brother.

Like, we did it. Am I we? I mean, not us. The professional athletes did it. The professional athletes that we like more than other professional athletes did it. And by we, I mean, not us. The professional athletes did it. The professional athletes that we like more than other professional athletes did it. It's so fun. Thanks for all the,

the fun Facebook posts and the texts and the DMS being like, I don't care about football, but I'm cheering on the cheese for you guys or anyone who's actually a cheese fan. I'm Canadian, but I'm watching the game. Yeah. It's just fun.

And if you're an Eagles fan, Hey, it was a great game. We got some Eagles fans in the Facebook group right now, uh, talking about the refs, which is a little interesting, but Hey,

it happens. It's, it's football. And, um, it was fun. And thank you for, uh,

for cheering on the chiefs with us. We had a blast. Uh, we had Gunner and like you mentioned, Gunner came over this time, which I hadn't watched many games with Gunner all year. So it was just great to have him around. I think he,

you know, it's always fun to have small superstitions that aren't, we don't truly believe in, but it's like, come on, Hey, what is that around? What does George Ann say? My mom always says, uh, my God is bigger than superstitions. So get that out of the way. Now go, go ahead. Uh, I do have two different signed, uh, Patrick Mahomes memorabilia, shout out Scott Bass, my man, um, he gave me a football that's signed by patrick mahomes and a helmet uh both of which gunner had in his possession at some points during the game uh i think the entire second half gunner had the ball locked in his arm still in the in the packaging yeah so there's like there's like plastic surrounding this thing because it's kind

of a nice memorabilia thing and i saw him like kind of like yeah holding this football i was like do not put your grubby puppy, try hands on this football. And so he was very careful. You could like watch them multiple times throughout the night, like readjusting the football and making sure the plastic was all the way around it. And then at one point in celebration, he did have the helmet on, which is pretty funny.

Didn't fit great. Cause Catherine, cause you know, we did a classic, like the girls were watching some of the game upstairs and they came down cause it's like, this is a big game. We got to make sure we're all watching it together. And Catherine's like, I'm surprised no one's put on the helmet. And I go, Catherine, what do you really think? Like, of course, Gunners put on the helmet.

So Gunners, I mean, just probably gave us 50 high fives. You know, every time we'd make like a six yard play, he'd be like, okay, come on. High fives to everybody. Come on now, come on. High fives. You know, Scott's just getting like little vendettas at the announcers. Greg Olson. He's like, okay, Greg, there's no way.

There's no, oh, talk about when you had to take a time out there, Greg. You know, all these different things. And then whatever, Jake, I thought it was very nice. But also I laughed a little bit at you. You like really took it like very positively a few times where you're just like, guys mean how great is this our teams in the super bowl i don't want to take it for granted this is crazy i was like how fun is this like there was one time i think it was the it was tie game near the end it's 35 35 and you're like guys this is great this is great we had five minutes to go down and win the super bowl the team we drew i was like how great is this of course

it's great but in my head i'm, but I still want to really win. Yeah. Of course you did too. But anyway. Just fun. Sports are fun. Fun way to bond people. And I think we talk about it more at the end of this episode.

But this is good news for business too. Yes. We're going to get to make a fun little Gene Schwartz video. If you want to see the old version, I think it's on my personal Facebook and my personal YouTube. Maybe I should throw it up in the Facebook group as kind of a reminder. But Brad and I went out and made a little video Super Bowl Parade. And now we're going to get to do another one on a little bigger YouTube channel. So let's brainstorm real quick something that we can do to make it just out of

this world. Like last time. OK, I'll start real quick. Last time I did in the video, I did like I tried to lead the crowd in a chant for the tomahawk chop. Yeah. But I kind of did it off to the side and on the sidewalk. I would like to just go whatever the balls to the wall. I don't know if that's inappropriate. Footballs. Footballs to the goalposts.

Pigskins to the ends. Yeah, pigskins to the entrails all the way, you know, into the middle of the street and just like really like literally run up and down the street and yell and do the tomahawk chop with other people. Like, I think that's realistic. And like, if somebody says like, Hey, you can't do that. I'll just, I'll do it for 15 seconds and then I'll walk off the street. Say, Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. There's no way I'm gonna get like arrested for that. No, everyone's in such a good mood. It's like, cause I'm, we're going to do it like, you know, an hour before the, I'm not going to do it like as Patrick Mahomes is coming

down the street. No, like when there's like a long time. Yeah. I think, I think we go up to people ask, Hey, who are you cheering for today? Can't see Chiefs. Oh, us too. Us too. No way. No way. No way. Who's your favorite player? Don't say Patrick. Oh, you said Patrick Mahomes. That's who we like. That'd be a funny bit. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I like, yeah. I think it's all going to be fun. And you and I are both just so comfortable being so stupid, like in public. It's going to be fun to, I mean, the jean shorts people, most of them, they don't listen to this podcast.

They don't know what we're like outside of those characters. They've never seen us be ourselves. Right. How fun is this? Yeah. Oh, it's going to be sweet. So fun.

So go chiefs, go sports. And yeah, just what a game Patrick Holmes holmes did what he always does down 10 in a playoff game of course he comes back and wins huge for his legacy huge for the dynasty in progress i still uh i mean it every single game it feels like it's just more and more solidified he is the greatest of all time i'll say he won a super bowl down 10 in the second half on one leg what more do you want? Another one next year, please.

Another one. Another one. Is that how they do it? Exactly. DJ Khaled. Cool. Go Chiefs. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for supporting us. And we'll see you guys at the parade. If you're in Kansas City. See you at the parade. Enjoy the rest of this week's episode. And just a reminder, I'm sure we're going to say it. I forgot. But hey, ask the girls.

Come on Wednesday. It's so good, guys. It's so fun. Wednesday. See you guys then Wednesday. Peace. Okay. And those were our thoughts. We're back to present day. Well, kind of, we're back to Friday while we're recording for Monday. Well, this is actually Thursday, Brad. This is not Friday. I'm so bad. Either way. We don't know what happened to the Superbowl. Either way. It's not Monday. We're just going to get on with the episode and it doesn't matter. Let's just say, Hey, God's bigger than the Superbowl. Either way, it's not Monday. We're just going to get on with the episode and it doesn't matter what happened to the Let's just say, hey, God's bigger than the Superbowl.

So either way, we're happy. Good. That's what I've always said. God's bigger. God's bigger. God is bigger than the Superbowl. He's bigger than Patrick Mahomes or Travis Kelsey. And he's a freaking PMP.

Nailed it, dude. I had to change a few things there yeah oh man yeah i asked me about asked me about my week asked me hey how was your weekend man you do right how was your weekend man you do anything crazy oh thanks for asking jake um yeah on saturday i had a little i called an extended dadder days aka i was just a dad without katherine being there uh katherine had this like homeschool moms conference which is as ridiculously like an extended dad or days, AKA. I was just a dad without Catherine being there. Uh, Catherine had this like homeschool moms conference, which is as ridiculously like homeschooling as it sounds. It sounds as valuable as it would be like great people watching.

Yeah. I think like it sounded really great. And like, she was telling me about like, they had like a keynote speaker at this thing and this girl sounded really cool and like really valuable. And Catherine got so many cool things from it. And then she like tagged somebody or one of her friends tagged the keynote speaker in an Instagram post. So I went and just checked out this keynote speaker. And one of the things that she has on her Instagram is like her, she's probably like, she's a mom to 10 different kids, which is so homeschool. And it's a full schoolhouse.

Exactly. And she has a, like a reel of her doing like this very extended like shuffle dance thing with one of her high school sons shuffle like edm like um i don't know how to describe it every day i'm shuffling and then doing like the the running man type thing kind of yeah it's it's some i don't know if it's if it's a whatever i'm i'm old too so i don't know if this is like a specific popular tiktok dance. And so I was like, yeah, I noticed that. I don't remember this woman's name. I noticed that she is quite the dancer and Catherine's like, Oh, did you see the shuffle video? I was like, yeah.

Did they make you do that at the conference joking with her? And Catherine's like, yeah, they actually had us all stand up and learn this dance. And I'm just imagining like, if you know Catherine, like that's the last thing she would want to do. And there's probably so many moms like Catherine. They imagining like, if you know, Catherine, like that's the last thing she would want to do. And there's probably so many moms like Catherine. They're like, look, can we just get like a couple like good nuggets for my child?

Like, please just like encourage me, like give me some time to rest and recuperate and tell me that it's all going to be okay in this crazy time. And instead it was like, it wasn't the main woman, like the main keynote speaker that suggested this. They brought in someone else. There was an MC kind of like trying to be the fun person, which Catherine's like, it wasn't the main woman, like the main keynote speaker that suggested this. They brought in someone else. There was an MC kind of like trying to be the fun person, which Catherine's like, yeah, read the room. Yeah.

Read the room. Read the idea. Even like, she's like, we all stood up and it was this pretty slow stage. And the whole thing that you're trying to learn is a dance where all you do is move your feet around. And so it's like, so no one could see anything. And she's like, we were all sitting like in these rows. Like you can't dance. You can't kick your feet around and so she's like so no one could see anything and she's like we were all sitting like in these rows like you can't dance you can't kick your feet around 80 of those women in there have an iced coffee in their hands what are they supposed to do with that yeah well yeah you're

putting that down you're kicking it over then all of a sudden you're getting coffee all over the you know the floor so anyway just hilarious just just imagining like the fact that i was like yeah you do that day they teach you i do that she's like actually yes i was like, yeah, you do that day. They teach you how to do that. She's like, actually, yes. I was like, oh my gosh, there's no way anybody was excited to do that. Um, anyway, so that's a funny thought. Yeah. That's too bad for Catherine. And yeah, you know, Catherine, like even, even on like, even at Canna Cuck, she wasn't like, let's go crazy dancing to this thing. Like she would dance, you know, whatever, but she's not that crazy person like that anyway. So maybe it could have been worse maybe katherine needs to count her blessings that it wasn't like hey um so one of my things i do with my kids is crumping so we're gonna take 10

minutes everyone do a little crump breakout sesh okay so everyone practice crumping i haven't heard the word crumping in 15 years we were gonna play a John and the East Side Boys. You guys crump along at home. Banned off on my kidneys. Yeah. That'd be awesome. At least it was only shuffling. Yeah, you're right. So anyway, the whole day,

Catherine was at this conference. And so just me and the kids, I knew it was happening. I knew it was going to be great. It was going to be fun. Catherine even suggested like, you know, do something fun for lunch tomorrow. Like she was telling me this the day before go do something for fun for lunch go to chick-fil-a whatever i was like fun great idea awesome so uh idiot brad idiot brad the dad

went to chick-fil-a on a saturday afternoon at 12 45 just great idea of it. In the thick of it. Like to the point where we pull it, you know, I get the kids hyped up like we're going Chick-fil-A. It's going to be awesome. We didn't go to out to Datterday breakfast. You know, this is our, this is our Datterday, you know, like meal. Outing. Outing. And so it was so busy that I like wasn't even really able to turn into the street that then would turn into Chick-fil-A.

Like it was one of those times where finally someone like let me in, you know, had a gap, but it was like the, it was just pandemonium to the point where I was like, I can't, I have three kids. I can't do that. So we pull up to Chick-fil-A and right next door to Chick-fil-A is a Culver's. And so I'm like, okay guys, I think it's really busy. I think we should just go to Culver's. And I mean, Hattie, this, this whole story,

Hattie is the hero of the story. Like she does. Awesome. Amazing. Like she has the best attitude. She's like, okay, yeah,

I could get a corn dog. I really like corn dogs. And then maybe we could get an ice cream afterwards. Cause they give you an ice cream coupon with your kids thing. I was like, yeah, great, great attitude.

He's 24 years old. And then I have a two year old named bo and bo just starts like i mean if bo if you don't say like i hear you bo would repeat the same thing a hundred times until you tell so i mean he said i want to go chick-fil-a i bet he said it 50 times in a row i mean so imagine that genuinely 50 times i want to go chick-fil-a and so we pull into the culvert i don't want to go here i don't want you know he's he's starting to cry and scream and he's already like like 12 45 is already pushing it for bow like he needs to take a nap at like 1 30 maybe maybe two o'clock at the latest so that's part of it was like he needs he's he's not ticking ticking clock here so we pull in chick or culver's he's like i don't want to go here

and the night before katherine and i had this conversation about like are we like giving in to bow too often and like not letting hattie do what she wants and so in my head i was like i can't just teach bow that he can cry and you get spolinesians us and so like i said i sat there for like five minutes debating what i should do and then i just finally said you know what no we're going to culver's we're going to culver's and i thought going to Culver's. And I thought Bo was sad. Then he starts really screaming and crying. And I mean, I mean, it's just chaos. So just imagine with me. So we have, I'm in the minivan, Bo and Hattie are in the back seat. Rosie's in like the middle seat. I get Hattie out. Hattie's once again, an angel. Rosie's been an angel too. And so I get, I get Rosie out of her car seat and then I unbuckle Bo to get out of his and he's just he's like I'm not going I don't want to get out I'm not going

and so then I'm luckily he's still small enough and I still have enough strength to like basically pick him up with one hand so I kind of like grab him and like pull him out and but then he like kind of gets away from me and like runs to the back of the van and so I'm like what and so I got Hattie here I got Rosie in my arms and so I'm like H what? And so I got Hattie here. I got Rosie in my arms. And so I'm like, Hattie, can you just hold Rosie for a second? And she's like, yeah, of course. So I give her, I give, I give Rosie to Hattie, you know, and Hattie's holding her like a five-year-old would hold a little baby. And she was in a parking lot. Yeah. She goes, uh, actually, I don't think I can hold her. It's like, I'm like getting her back. And then I'm like yanking on Bo. So I got Bo and Bo just starts like, so I finally get him in my arms. I got Rosie in my other arm and Bo just starts kicking and screaming and like, like every, every terrible

thing you can think of on Tanch, Tanch, big Tanch to the point where his shoe comes off. So now his shoe like comes off, hits the ground, goes underneath our van. And so now I have two kids in one, like in my hands bo's screaming rosie's an angel hattie is now crawling under the van to get this to get this you know shoe and she's thinking it's like she's not fazed by anything she's like bo's shoe was under the van how funny is that and i'm like i know and in my head the whole time i'm like once we get inside he'll calm down gosh was i wrong we walk in he's having a full-on tantula right now he was he was a tantula yeah he we walk in and it was like it was like the red sea had parted for us and we because bo was screaming

so loud that like all these people just like divided and stared at us and i just walk in i walk right to the like booth and i i sit them down i kind of hold him and i'm just like trying to talk to him and i kind of calm him down I'm just like trying to talk to him and I kind of calm them down. I'm like, okay, we're going to stay here. I'm going to put you down and go order some stuff. And he starts screaming again. And I just have, I just, I admitted defeat at that point after like 10 minutes inside of Culver's. I said, how do you, I think we just need to go home. And once again, Angelic Hattie just goes, okay, yeah, maybe we could drive through somewhere or we could just go home. That's okay.

Oh my gosh. You're amazing. And literally the entire drive home 20 minutes i mean he's screaming like i've never experienced i've always heard people like it's like a rite of passage almost with parents of like once you know like your kids screaming in public ever we've all done it and i'm like i have never really experienced it for more than like 20 seconds of like my kid having a bad attitude but this is it but this was like bo because hattie was always like once i get in public i'm kind of like embarrassed i'm too shy yeah i'm gonna just you know shut down and just be like a shell of myself bo doesn't care man bo's just ready to scream here's my shell in front of anybody shell yeah oh man it's so just one of those things luckily i mean it could have been so much worse if Hattie or Rosie had any kind of bad attitude but both of them were so quiet and so wonderful it was just Bo just being a just a menace and of

course he cries the whole way home we actually end up going to Raising Cane's on the way home and the whole time like as I'm ordering the drive-thru he's screaming like I don't want to go Raising Cane's I don't want and I'm like oh my gosh hey like I luckily I had never really gotten frustrated or mad at him like I was pretty calm the whole time. Praise the Lord. But I was just like, Bo, we're going to raising canes. This is what we're doing. I don't want. And then right when we get home, it's like a light switched and he was totally fine. Eight raising canes. When took his nap, had a great nap. Everything was good. Weird. So all I have to say, probably not weird, but just, it was just a wild like experience of like

like just imagine with me just sympathize empathize whatever the right word is for what i just went through and i actually put on our ghost stories prompt i was like there's got to be other people that have crazy public stories as parents like what did your kid do in public that's just like oh my gosh i can't believe that happened so if you want to fill out something like that go out to our website and do it but i had never experienced anything like it i understand now like why katherine doesn't like going in public that often i was saying it's scar me like we're never doing that again yeah because of course i'm like it's not that hard to go out in public but man it was something wild it'd be scary too like all you were trying to do

was take him out to lunch but what if bo is having a day like that on the day you guys all drove to Six Flags or something and he's having a day like that yeah you're like what do we do now and that was the hard thing is like my reaction is normally like okay get him secluded and just talk to him but since Catherine wasn't also there I couldn't be like Catherine you watch Hattie and Rosie while I go outside and talk to him one-on-one, like get on his level and talk, you know? And so I tried to do it a little bit in the van, you know, but it just wasn't, I don't know. It was a little bit of a whirlwind. And there's also, I didn't, right when we parked these people next to the car next to us, they were eating in their car. And so they were get the show the whole time. I had a little bit in my head of like,

okay, what are these people thinking of how I'm parenting this thing? So anyway, it was just, it was just a wild dad time. I don't know what you were doing on Saturday, but I bet it wasn't hanging out with, you know, crying two-year-old boys. What was he doing Saturday? I think I golf it. No, that was Sunday. That was Sunday, Saturday. I think I, Oh, Rachel, I did a lot of wedding stuff saturday and then i did some video editing saturday uh oh yeah saturday and sunday i spent editing um the last video ever for trey finally done being a writer editor yeah last one wow went out with a bang i don't know if he's posted i think he's only posted it to like facebook reels as the time we're recording this but really just kind of thought i'd go hard on the very last one it was just called every documentary

ever okay and so we filmed it in front of a green screen and oh cool um just had fun doing a lot of extra stuff that i probably didn't need to do but made it more fun how hard is like green screen stuff actually yeah i mentioned the green screen thing but that aspect was actually pretty easy what i more had fun with was like b-roll of like showing like creepy guys because you don't know we kept it very vague like. Like, yeah, that guy, uh, he did awful things, but he was the smartest man I ever met. And it's like cutting to like any B roll you want,

you know, it's just like, it was up to me. Like honestly, Trey and I, we just kind of sat down for like 30 minutes, shot some stuff. And then he just trusted me.

He's like, all right, you know, make a good video out of this. That's great. And so I did. And I had fun. And I mean,

I even found like, I found a clip of Saddam Hussein petting a boy one time, like a white blonde haired boy. Just threw that in there. Haven't seen any comments about it yet. No one really seems to notice. But just like little Easter eggies, not even Easter eggies, just like little subtle stuff like that. Yeah.

How's it feel to be like done? You know, it's just about today. Trey called me this morning because he needed the password for one of the computers I used to work on at his house. And I was like, oh, wow, it's like it's going without me. Today is like probably the first day where it's going without me today's like probably the first day right where it's going without me um but it feels good feels um freeing to have more time on my yes we've had a solid three days in a row of just hanging out it's been great by hanging out i mean working and trying to make money but it feels like hanging out yeah i mean we work in the morning and then we eat lunch together and we work in

the afternoon it's great vibes uh saturday i also helped out uh some other local business men and women uh the beck family calvin and molly i know calvin's a listener um and anyway they have a candle making business and they really kind of hit the jackpot recently where they kind of advertised this like chief specific candle cheese go to the super bowl get yourself a candle and he said it just went bananas off like facebook advertising yeah and so they're a little like oh hey not too little they're modest business yeah with only them two uh sold 4 000 of these candles it's not they got to get out they want to get out before the super bowl so a bunch of us all went over to the becks house to help them make their candles oh nice all kind of rotated to different times. The Madisons were there, but we didn't get there.

The Madisons were there and the Haggumans were there. And we were there with Abby and Harrison and the Becks. And the people that could stay a little bit later because they don't have little kids. Exactly. Yeah. Two of our kids. We were the late night crew. That's fun. Oh, that's so fun. It was fun. They had the office on a big screen there and you're kind of doing mindless work. So it's fun. You can talk to each other. Yeah, you can. Yeah, exactly. And they have a job where they can seek out help and it's easy to

help them it's not like hey can you guys come edit for us right can you learn all this stuff that's going to take me longer to teach you than it is for you to actually help me yeah calvin walked me through uh how to cut the candle wick in about 30 seconds and then that's what i did for two hours you're you're a wick cutter And then I asked for a new job after a while. Really? I had to play golf the next day. I had to protect these hands. Oh, you felt a little blisty.

Got a few blisties. And then I moved over to Rachel's department, shipping department, got the bubble wrap going. Okay. So it wasn't really about the hands. It was really just about being close to your girl. Being close to my honey. Yeah. Should we start like having our names like that for our ladies?

Yeah. Being close to my my sweetie my aluminum my hubby no hubby is like only for husbands isn't it that is correct i i didn't know that for the longest time i do enjoy i can't remember if i talked about this on the podcast or not but every morning this will probably stop once we're married because we won't be apart so i probably won't text her good morning but every morning i text her a new made-up pet name oh i think maybe you've mentioned that but i know there's like a consistent thing yeah every morning i just try to do it if we're you know just like if i'm like if we're both in iowa it's like okay i'm gonna see you in like five minutes but yeah do

you have any have you ever had like a struggle like i can't think of one today or how do you how do you think of them it's like one of the first things i do when i wake up and then i usually just like hit one letter on i saw i type out morning and i'll hit one letter on a keyboard i just hit k and then just like just think of a k word okay morning kleenex boom that's it the pet name kleenex morning kleenex today today's is a rather dumb one i call it the whole kleenex wasn't dumb no no no that's cute that's that's amazing i mean that was just yeah because at least that's like well whatever today's was uh i typed in i think i did p as like pp and so i said morning pleats not even like a physical it's not even like a thing it's like an attribute um that's what i said oh kleenex is way better yeah

what is this like uh morning wrinkles that's great good morning yeah let's see what else have i said i i just searched morning in my text yeah morning pleats morning florentine uh one time i just called her shorts, morning shorts, bed sheet, buddy, gronk. I love people listening to me like, oh, Jake and Rachel, I bet they're so sweet. Morning, gronk. Morning, shadow. Morning, hijab. I got a little cultural there.

Morning, Frankfurt. Knapsack. Okay, how does she reciprocate? Does she ever call you anything back um uh honestly rachel just has a few favorites of like dumb ones that she'll just like cycle through i think she really called me buster okay because i think i laugh most times hey what's going on buster i just think it's not a name that fits me and that's why it's funny yeah buster is regarded for like old mechanics that are overweight yeah exactly you yeah you have too good of a physique for a buster thank you yeah for now for now for now just wait till you're

married brother well you keep eating all that milk who knows what's gonna happen all that eating milk oh you gotta stop eating milk oh man anyway that's us that's candle making it's a good time well yeah i heard like oh the candle company is called... Continue Good. Continue Good. Yeah, check them out. Hey, one, two, three. Check them out. One, two, three. Check them out. Hey, one, two, three. Check them out.

Hey, two, three. I heard Rachel said something about people worked all day, literally sun up to sun down making these candles and they made a thousand. Yeah. I was like, we almost done.

Four thousand. Like we're just shy of a thousand and like 11 PM. Yeah. And which is like, so cool to like, be like, Hey, this is a normal, like I always want to emphasize like how normal people are. Anytime you see like big companies or like you, they might appear like, Oh, these guys have it all together. And these guys are going crazy and I shouldn't support them because they're already making

tons of money. It's like, well, they're, they're employing their friends to help them out, you know, and they are doing all these by hand. Like that's to me, I'm like support people like that. Totally. You know, and I just know that Calvin and Molly are so awesome and sweet. So they are great. Harris and I were talking about it too.

Like there's such a difference in like, hey, can you come help spend a good amount of your Saturday helping me move? That kind of has a little bit of like, ah, I could do something better, but something about like, can you help me with my business? Can you help me fulfill my dream to, yeah,

not, not be like, I don't know, employed by somebody else. And like, I'm hustling after this thing. I honestly, I'm just being vulnerable here and I need help.

Yeah. And I don't even know if Calvin did that. Honestly, it might've just started with like one couple went over there and they offered to help because the reason i got over there is i just texted calvin said hey what are you molly doing tonight you want to go on a double date and he's like oh i can't i got to make candles and then he sent me a picture of it i was like well that looks fun yeah can my me and rachel come over he's like yeah yeah so that's cool he maybe didn't even have to ask

i think yeah and it's so fun yeah to be on your side of things and be like, dude, I love, yeah. Helping you with this. It was fun little Saturday. I like, I do like helping people move for like, Oh, okay. You guys heard it. 45 minutes. And then it's like, I like helping. I like, I like watching, like, look at how quickly we unpacked all those boxes.

But then when it's like, Hey, can you move this couch down into the basement where loaded on your truck? Yeah. Yeah. No, thanks. I don't want to, I get worried about my back on those kinds of things, but I'll, I'll move move this couch down into the basement where loaded on your truck yeah yeah no thanks i i get worried about my back on those kind of things but i'll i'll move boxes all day good so okay yeah go on record just just saying that for the record anyway that's fun man um okay another thing we did this weekend so once i got done with the the fiasco the Culver's fiasco, um, fiasco Sunday, I, Catherine and I were asked to volunteer in the nursery, um, at church. Uh, and so these kids that we, we were volunteered with, there was like 10 of them, first of

all, and nine of them were boys. And so it was just pandemonium. They were all just higher, like just a little bit older than Bo. So like just right under three years old or at three years old. And I had a hard time, honestly, I won't get into it too much, but like there were times where I thought, do these kids not understand English? Like I thought, I thought like, I genuinely thought like, are these kids foreign? Am I on a mission trip right now? I did, dude. I was, I said that to Catherine multiple times. I, I'm not going to say this kid's name, but he had, he had dark skin and

whenever his mom dropped him off, she didn't really say anything. And so I thought like, maybe this, like we have like different nationalities that go to a church. What did his name, what's a name of his culture? Not his name, but a name similar culturally. Uchan. Okay. Yeah. Got it. You know, something like that. Like to where it was like, I think this kid is like, whatever,

Ugandan or something. I would love for Catherine to like walk in on you like let's see how it's going and you're just you're at the brink you're losing it your hands are up you're like am i in the jungles of the amazon right now can no one understand like brad geez calm down dude well katherine like i i am like more of a disciplinarian than like in those situations where i'm like hey they need to listen to me like i'm I'm not going to like, like whatever, do anything crazy, but I'm going to be like,

Hey, like, do you hear me? Like, I asked you to come sit over here. Like, what do you like? I'll kind of get onto it or whatever.

And she kind of got like, Hey, be careful. Like you need to be sweet with them. They're Haitian. They don't know. Anyway. So thinking we'll call it U-Tron thinking U-Tron was from Africa.

And then his mom picks him up at the end. He's like, Hey, U-Tron, mom's hand. And from Africa. And then his mom picks him up at the end. He's like, Hey U-Tron, mom's hand. And I'm like, crap. Wow. Misread that one.

Hey, got some, got some. All right, U-Tron. Thanks a lot, man. Thanks for coming brother.

There was, yeah, there are two kids like that where I was like, this kid does not understand a word I'm saying, or it's just like the most misbehaving kid I've ever met. Or, hear me out. Maybe you just had a hearing problem.

Maybe, maybe, maybe it was that it was, it was wild. So anyway, it was fine. It was just a weird day. It was like, like even like other teachers afterwards, we were all leaving and they're like, did you, were your kids being kind of odd today? Like kind of, do you have a kind of mission trip class? You know what I mean? That's so funny. Just asking people, have a kind of mission trip class? You know what I mean? Yeah.

That's so funny just asking people. Am I on a mission trip right now? What's going on? I'm sorry. Yeah. Am I in the depths of the Amazon? Am I in Trinidad and Tobago right now? Where am I?

Am I at the Tegucigalpa airport? I didn't think so. But no one seems to be able to understand me. What are we doing? A mobile VBS here? Are we doing Sunday school? Are we sharing how germs work with glitter? I don't think so. You guys are just choosing not to hear me.

It was wild, dude. It was like this weird, like twilight. Like are we teaching kids the father Abraham? Song and dance. Are we singing this little line of mine in an open field somewhere? You know, it's like, no, just a normal sun anyway it was am i playing soccer for basically the only time of my life because it's the only way i can connect with you guys because it feels like i'm on a mission trip right now am i playing soccer oh yeah exactly that's what i think the only time

i've ever played soccer has been in other countries because like we don't speak the same language. But hey, I like ball. You like ball. Am I pretending like I'm getting faked out in soccer? Am I doing magic tricks on the side because I'm not that good at soccer and the local people are calling me a wizard and I'm starting to get a little worried if this ministry is working? Yeah. Because I feel like I'm on a mission trip right now.

I wasn't planning to talking about any of this. Anyway, it was a wild time. And yeah, as we were leaving, Catherine and I were talking like, yeah, what was going on? And some other lady was like, yeah, I don't know. But one of the kids that was kind of a redeeming factor of the whole thing,

this kid was sweet. He was responsive. He spoke English to me. And we'll call him him what's a good name we'll call him eli greg eli greg eli so greg eli uh you know we're on the we're on the we go to the playground at one point he just sits over the side just being sweet and not wanting to play and i was like i'll go talk to you so i was like greg eli do you have any do you have any brothers do you have any sisters you know uh samantha lie jessica yeah yeah and his mom

had dropped him off and so you know he talked about oh yeah i have an older brother named what's his name steven i mean steve a lie and you know and i was like yeah and it looks like i saw his mom mom looked pregnant uh when he dropped him pretty pregnant yeah pretty pregnant okay but also like not the tiniest lady in the world like okay like i don't think that needs any explanation like not not whatever like it looked it's great yeah it's great looked pregnant a little bit of no man's land yeah so talking to this kid who's you know just to the point where he's good at conversation but not great you know like so and you're are you gonna have another baby soon he's like yeah i was like is that gonna be a brother or a sister he's like a sister and so i was like oh okay what should we call you like what do you think your

sister what should you guys call her what's her name gonna be and so we was like maybe sarah or emily he's like yeah maybe and so then anyway you know kids are getting picked up. What's up, O'Chah? It's me. All these different things. And Greg Eli's mom comes. And I always love giving a quick report to the parents and telling them your kid was great. If it's true. And he was. And so I was like, he did such a good job. He was so responsive and so obedient and so fun. And he was telling me all about his brothers and sisters.

He's got an older brother, uh, Steven, Steven, and he's going to have a little sister soon. And the, the, the mom just goes, Nope, no, no, no sister. Like almost confused. Like, Oh no, no sisters. And I was like, okay, please leave as soon as possible. I go, go go. Get out of here. I was like, oh, no. Probably a different kid. See ya. I was like, yeah. Sorry. Are we sure? Show me the tag to make sure I even know it's the right kid or whatever.

Oh, it's different. There were two Gregolais today. That's what I'm confused about. It was the other Gregolai. The one from Nairobi. And so I was like, oh, man. Okay. And she's like, no, actually, we're having another boy. And I was like, oh, my gosh. Uh, and she's like, no, actually, uh, we're having another,

another boy. And I was like, oh my gosh. Did you say, give me a hug? Thank you. Yeah, please. I was, I, I had never done anything close to that. I had never felt the fear of like, wait, are you not pregnant? And I just said you were pregnant kind of thing. Yeah. And I don't think even, even if the woman looks like she's smuggling eight basketballs down there, I'm, I'm not going to mention it. Don't even bring it up. Nope. I think you did it the right way. Like you confirm with the kid, we could trust Greg Eli, bring it back. But even then you almost still got screwed. And that was the thing. Like, I didn't think, I didn't even think I needed to confirm with the kids. I thought it was so obvious when I saw the mom, like, yeah, she's pregnant

and that's great. Like good for them. Kids are a blessing. And it's like, great. And all of a sudden, no, no sister. Oh, okay. Okay. Well, here's his bag. Here's his diaper bag. And here's his little, you know, goodie bag. And come back next week, please, Greg. That is a risky.

I wonder, there's gotta be like other scenarios where you could like find yourself. Like, I think I, or just like thinking one thing and it actually means something else. Yeah. Like, like what? I got in a wreck. You got, you got in a wreck.

What? Oh, wreck basketball league. We're doing it again. Oh, you're, you're playing a wreck. Yeah.

Team butter. Yeah. Rides again. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm so glad I got in a wreck. Three H roll basketball. Yeah. Oh, you're playing a rec basketball? Yeah. Team Butter. Yeah. Rides again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm so glad I got an recreational basketball.

Yeah. Oh, you thought. Sorry. You're like, hey, babe. You know, I've been thinking and we've been married a while now. This apartment's great, but I just think we might need to see other people. Wait, what? You need to see other people?

See other people's houses. See other people's other people's houses see other people's houses i think we should check other people's houses that are for sale and see if we want to make them our house baby scared me oh my gosh babe all right yeah uh yeah maybe you're like something else where they really could be hey um oh thank you miss actually it's not it's not miss anymore oh uh sorry what i just got married it's mrs that's silly mistake it's okay it's fine it's informality no it's it's not miss hey so we're gonna need to uh take you to the hospital real quick uh when we get there uh you are gonna have to go under what a few blankets because it's really drafty in there but they are turkish cotton so you'll be very comfortable brad you hear that in the mic i i hit myself hard for the ghost hands on forehead there brad the dog got out no of the.

So it's a, it means 5,000 campers about 11 weeks during the summer, 10,000 retreat guests,

maybe a little ghosty summer camp there. But I love they wrote down our metric of our metric of success is not baptisms at the end of the week, but how our campers love and live like Jesus, the 51 weeks they're not at camp.

I'm like, these guys are legit. This is a great organization. It's a great camp. Obviously Jake and I have been very, very strongly formed and affected by our work at a Christian summer sports camp. And we just have so much great things to say. My main thing that I love is obviously we've affected so many kids at camp, but beyond that, we had personally, I've been so blessed by the friendships that I've gained from camp. You know, you work with somebody for two months and you become brothers with them. You know, it's like, it's an amazing family atmosphere. And so, um, if nothing else, we always joked at camp, like, Hey, would you rather be here or doing an internship at Merrill Lynch? You know, I think I'd rather be a cho-yay than Merrill Lynch.

Merrill Lynch doesn't sound like any songs I can think of. No. Merrill Lynch. No. Cho-yay, cho-yay, cho-yay,, Choye. And so check it out. BestSummerJob.org. There it is. BestSummerJob.org, Camp Choye. Let them know you heard from the Ghost House. Love you guys. Cool.

Yeah, like a double-decker date. We can normalize that. I like the idea of every time you hear the word double date, you just think of that. It doesn't have to literally be that. But you imagine Rachel on my shoulders. Can we normalize imagining Rachel on your shoulders every time you say double date?

Good by me. Okay. Joye. Anyway, went on a double date with them, which is fun. Peyton had a birthday yesterday. So a little reason to go out. I didn't know that when i texted him to go on a double date no way you really no no no yay i texted garrett like last weekend i think and i was like hey you did a date and he was like no and i was like good i'll make some freaking candles anyway uh but

then he was like oh peyton's birthday's tuesday yada yada anyway um so what i was gonna tell you about actually before we get to that i feel like this is kind of a funny thing uh peyton had got a haircut the day we were with her which would have been yesterday and she made some little comment she's like uh yeah i did get a haircut um garrett did not notice um until i had to tell him and we were laughing i was like dude how bad would it have been if i like as soon as i get to dinner i'm like oh what's up pain happy birthday love the new haircut like i just would have been the worst guy of all time so like garrett and i made a pact i think i need to make this pact with all of my guy friends at no point will we ever okay make any kind of comment about any change that might have

happened with the lady in our lives okay just in case we ourselves have not noticed it and observed and pointed it out because can i say i have been the, I've been the Jake to the Peyton before. And I think you and I are likely to do something like that. Yeah. Where I'm like, Hey, did you cut your hair shorter? She's like, yeah, I cut like five inches off. Yeah. And my husband has to say the word.

It was, yeah. I can't remember specifically when I did it, but I said something like that. And it wasn't like he never noticed, but it was like, yeah, he didn't notice for like three days or something. And as soon as you're like, hey, welcome in. Whoa, haircut. Yeah. Yeah.

I was like, oh, you got, you know, highlights in your hair. Yeah. You know, so-and-so didn't notice. I was like, okay, I guess I didn't notice things like that. But okay. People probably have some stories about that. Can we normalize not complimenting somebody else's wife? Just in case, if it's about like a change or like an adjustment.

Yeah. Just be wary of it. Okay okay that was kind of fun but so yeah we got we got hiboshed together and then we went to a new business it's in overland park and this is not a brand deal although i am going to reach out to them because i'm such a rating fan like i don't know but we should be promoting them for free who cares they're awesome yeah there are continue good captivity or captivity they're a company called breakthrough okay you ever heard anything about this uh maybe is this you probably cares they're awesome yeah there are continue good cativity or cativity they're a company called breakthrough okay you ever heard anything about this uh maybe is this you probably heard of the word breakthrough yeah i think that was like 80 of all youth groups names back in the

that could be what you're thinking um that or threshold no um ignite yeah so the gathering is it the one that's like you pay for yes i've heard of this yes go ahead no no sorry i was messing with you this one where you pay yes okay this is where you give them money for something is this the business that's like a capital like free market yes from what i understood about this one business that somebody my friends todd todd that listens todd and whitney were talking about they went on a date uh to this place where like the games are ever changing and you get like either two or four hours to play as many games as you want. Okay. This actually is the same place. Shout out Todd and Whitney. I think, yeah. I, when I said you pay, I think I,

I could tell like we're on the same wavelength. He gets it. He knows what I'm about to say next. Yeah. Okay. So I saw like a couple little things about it didn't see much saw enough to be like this is fun i want to invite my fun friends to do this along with us yeah because all the website says all i really had to go off of is breakthrough which they're doing the thing where there's no e or a and break so it looks like burke through okay burke never been well whatever brand new social gaming destination designed for teams of two to four so i was like oh yeah i like games like social let's do this yeah you know what to expect we kept the girls in the dark here and i just playing this cool and what it is is i see why four hours is an option they have

i think they said 37 rooms it could have been a million i don't know different rooms you get a little wristband you scan in before each room it's all very high tech and what you're doing is you're walking into a room and you don't know what the game is going to be it's like playing mario party in real life but with no like prompt or instruction it's just like this is going to be just like a mini game cool and all the mini games have a level of like they kind of feel like escape roomy a little bit because half the battle is trying to figure out like how does this game work all right now we're the score is counting down we gotta hurry and do it and it is so fun each room you walk into it'll tell you if it's like skill based mental based or athletic based they tell you that before you walk in before you walk in it's like oh let's do an athletic one to start yeah you're you're hyping yourself up for that

at least dude and it is so fun because i mean we already like are what to go back immediately because we didn't get to see everything there was so much like that we didn't get around to so many things we didn't score high enough on we got like there had one called prison break well prison bark no way in it prison bark and we never got out of prison it's like we gotta go back okay but you can go as many times and it's the same every time you go into the room it's the exact same yes we just kept re-scanning re-scanning re-scanning so is it like are there long lines for certain ones or anything like that you would think i think they do limit the amount of people because r Rachel and I looked into going earlier and it was like, hey, we're sold out.

You can do that. Did you make reservations then? Yeah, you should. Oh, I see. Because yeah, from the little, like the very little I heard about it from Catherine who heard about it from Todd Whitney is they're like, do four hours. I know that sounds crazy. I wish I would have known that.

But you should do four hours because two hours is not enough time. It was not enough. Cool. Not nearly enough time. So you're into it hours is not enough time. It was not enough. Cool. Not nearly enough time. So you're into it. We were so in. It was so funny. We leave and Rachel and I, the entire drive back, we're talking about the games.

We're talking about prison break. Like, how do we get out? Like, what is the sensor at the end? And even when you get to the end, there's numbers. And we're like coming with these theories. And while we're talking about it, I get a text from Garrett that says, I bet we needed to crawl. And it was so funny. Like, just out of context. He didn't need to explain anything and i knew exactly what he meant and i was just like giggling and not confused with juggling yes

just giggling and i was like that is so funny i was like dude rachel and i are having the same conversation and like i think you're right we never tried crawling really maybe the center is like you know four feet off the ground um that is so fun so it's just so fun because it's like you could even go back. Like even if once you play all the games, I think you could still go back and play it again. We're like an escape room. Once you've done escape room, not fun to do it again. Yes, there's still an element of like, all right, even though I kind of know how it works now, it's still fun. But there's nothing like the first time walking in and truly not knowing.

I mean, you're just visually stimulated. Like what in the world? It could be the size of a basketball court it could be a tiny little closet sometimes you walk in just like with a ball throw like fun yeah we're just talking about boss well so from what i understand though like the games change pretty regularly and i think that's smart on their part they probably should change them out on a regular basis like you better go back soon if you want to try to get out of prison oh my gosh you think about that though for real like god i don't know how often they change it maybe it's once once a month. Maybe it's whatever.

Honestly, I got a text here. We got to go back this weekend. It's just so fun. Look, if you have one in your area, if you're in Kansas City, you should go. Cool. We're not getting paid everybody, but it was just so fun. We had a blast doing it. Yeah, that's true.

We got so sweaty during one game, which is embarrassing. We're like all dressed pretty nice. It's a nice double date on my shoulders. Oh yeah. And we were all sweaty. You couldn't get you out of prison. Yeah. Girls on my shoulders oh yeah and uh we were all sweaty you couldn't get you out of prison yeah girls on your shoulders it was just this fun game it was just very simple it was all just like you're in this big room it's kind of like maze like a little bit you know there's pillars in the middle you have to go around whatever

and there's just little buttons it's very simple like um almost like a uh maybe those infomercials were like it's a nightlight and you just like tap it or whatever it was like those little buttons all over the room and all it was was just when the your light flashes you got to hit it okay but there's so much ground to cover that you can't just stay put i'm like all right i'm just gonna look at these three yeah so you are scrambling yeah no wonder you're sweating and we realized the the most efficient way to get the back room covered is you have to two people have to be circling the pillar in the middle because there's too much to look at all at one time so the best way is um what we call like uh like oscillating or like revolts you're like the the earth revolving

around the sun whatever yeah yeah we had different names around different it's just so fun so fun everyone needs to do it anyone who's fun would love it do you think do you think it's more like what aspect is the the most fun thing about it is it the fact that you don't know what's gonna happen and then it's just like you have to react and do it really quick or is it like the games themselves or is the people like i think it's a strategy of like all right we've understood how this game works now now let's try to score as high as possible like what is the optimal way to play this game? That's what's so fun. And do you tell them when you walk in,

there's two people or four people, I guess if you're scanning. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like we're a group of four. Cause then they can change like, okay, if only one person's circle in the pillar,

you know, no shot. You can do the riot room with one. Gotcha. Yeah. But it's all very, uh, interactive and like you could scan your thing and it'll show you on a TV,

like how you're doing. It gets all the other people there that night. So it's competitive. It's competitive. Oh, let's do it. We got to book a four hour session. I know we just did a company retreat, but that one didn't have enough morale boosting. And hey, let's talk about it real quick.

We have two new unofficial employees of the Ghostrunner slash Jeanshorts. Their names are Catherine Ellis and Rachel. Oh, I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't know. Cause I thought you called themed. Yeah. Yeah. Conor Kelderman's like contractors. Uh, yeah. Talk about it. Yeah. So a few different pieces of content that are coming out. We had, well, you've already seen it on Jean shorts. We did a video with Rachel and Catherine. So fun. We didn't even do a video with them. They just did

the video. They did a video. We're getting more comments than we've ever gotten on a YouTube video in a long time. It's so many comments are like, sorry, Jake and Brad, this is their channel now. They did great. You got to hand it over now.

It was things my wife never says. And it was really easy for us to write it. Yeah. And really fun. And, you know, we had this idea, but as I'm writing,

I was like, I mean, let's hold loosely to this idea. Cause I don't even think Catherine's going to do it. Like I don't, she's and Catherine did awesome. Rachel did awesome. did awesome you know just the fact they did it at all was so sweet of them uh and they yeah they're so funny so like sarcastic and hilarious um few great bloopers in there whatever check that out and then uh actually wednesday so if you're listening

It says, there are many addicting substances out there from Oreos and apple cider donuts to prednisone and inappropriate happiness. However, in my experience, there's nothing more addictive than listening to two Midwest best friends. Just talking. Sorry. Can we go back? That's a really funny first sentence. I want to read it

again. There are many addictive substances out there from Oreos and apple cider donuts to prednisone and inappropriate happiness. However, my jokes. Yes. Yeah. Really funny.

Do you remember? It's hard to know right now when we recorded this.

It's hard to know. I wanted to just sit on the fence. I just, other than being a fan of the Chiefs, if the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, that means Wednesday or whenever the parade, we get to go make a Gene Schwartz video. Yes. Talk about a win on Wednesday. Yeah. Because a lot of you guys have probably, some of you guys have probably seen it.

I know it was probably one of the first videos we put up on Patreon, potentially, or people have talked about it before, but when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2020, Brad and I went and recreated a couple other videos we've done in the past where we went

to the Chiefs Super Bowl Parade and just interviewed people and tried to make it fun. We were with our friends. Brad's dad was saving a spot in line for us. Of course, Isaac filmed it for us. It was super cold. It was snowy and it was so fun. Yes.

And I know people loved it. Uh, Derek, who, you know, you guys know, and has worked with us. He has always been like,

you guys need to do more videos like this, right? Hey, the chiefs went to Superbowl. We will. Yeah. We made that video, you know,

three years ago and just posted it to my personal. Right. Uh, YouTube, which was kind of just a landing spot for it. I got like 5,000 views, we made that video you know three years ago and just posted it to my personal right uh youtube which was kind of just a landing spot for it i got like 5 000 views but now if we could do a video like this which is so fun 150 000 subscribers yeah i know dude that's why i want the chiefs win this overall i yes it's gonna be so fun yeah just to have an excuse to do a video like that is always good because it's not like kansas city doesn't have huge events all the time that we

can just be like yeah let's go you go, you know, Taylor Swift concerts. Taylor Swift comes once in a, you know, blue moon. I was trying to think of more, more creative things, but once in a, once in a plea press. Yeah, exactly. So, uh, hopefully we're, we're, uh, filming the video. If you're listening to this on Wednesday, if you're listening to this on Tuesday, hopefully we're filming a video tomorrow. One day away Wednesday.
