This is going to be such a fun episode. Rachel, forgot her name, and Catherine are going to be joining us very shortly. So stick around for that. But real quick, Brad and I, we need to go over a story. We were at a coffee shop recently, Summer Moon. We were smooning. Smooning. And we had something very similar.

If you guys are familiar with The Office, there's a scene where, is it when dwight is shunning jim is that the scenario yes i uh dwight doesn't want to talk to jim for some reason and so jim's talking to andy and he's trying to just mess with it he's trying to like you know no it's not it's not when he shuns him it's when he's trying to prove i don't waste any time yeah i never waste a day out of my or you know a second out of my day i'm always working yes he's like yeah i sneeze with my eyes open yeah jim's trying to like entice him. And so he's talking to Andy loudly for Dwight to hear and talking about all the hobbies that Dwight has

and is incorrectly talking about them. Like Battlestar Galactica and Lord of the Rings and whatever. Is that like the old Battlestar Galactica? You know, it's practically a shot for shot remake. You know, it's great. Yeah. Dwight's just being crushed inside. Dumbledore. Yeah, he talks about Dumbledore and all these different things. He's just dying inside. And we had our Dwight's just being crushed inside. Dumbledore. Yeah. He talks about Dumbledore in battle. All these different things.

He's just dying inside. And we had our Dwight moment the other day. We did. We were at the coffee shop and these moms were all next to us. Sweet moms. They're talking. Hey, fine. Bring your kiddos.

Have a good time. Well, the Super Bowl, you know, is topical. They were mentioning it. And we can kind of hear some words, can't hear everything. But all of a sudden, very loud that we hear, well, you know, brothers playing the Super Bowl, like Eli and Peyton played each other, I think a couple of times in the Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And Brad and I both just stopped what we were doing. We're like, oh. I think I out loud, like, decent, like loud enough where if they knew I was talking to them, they would hear me. I think I just go, no, no. It's a big thing. Like Travis Kelsey and Jason Kelsey played in the super bowl against

either their brothers are the first time that's ever happened coaches have done it but never players and and and so one of them was like yeah kind of suggested like i think eli manning and peyton played yeah yeah a few times i think yeah and it was just one of those like, oh, I can't let this go, but I have to. It's one of those, I don't, yeah, there's misinformation in the world that I can't help at all. So if you ever see Brad and I in public or at a coffee shop, don't just come up and say hi. Try to talk about something we're passionate about incorrectly, just loud enough for us

to hear you. You know, yeah. Patrick Mahomes actually is better as a receiver. Oh, okay. You know, he's left-handed and he just does this for fun. He just toys with people with his right hand. I'm pretty sure he grew up left-handed. Yeah.

You know, it's pronounced Travis Kels. Uh-oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet. Cause it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast. Every Monday morning we'll be taking round Ghost Brothers Podcast. Wednesday, baby.

Wednesday, that's right. Wednesday on a Wednesday. Every Wednesday, we. Wednesday. That's right. Wednesday on a Wednesday. Every Wednesday, we're going to talk about our win of the week. Brad, what is your Wednesday? My win of the week is actually a, like, it's been a long time coming, but it's still a win every single week. Basically, there's a podcast listener who's become a friend.

I'm not going to name names because I think he would love to be anonymous because he's that humble and great of a guy. But he literally texts me every single Monday morning that he's praying for me. Oh, cool. And he like literally, he'll text me like, and it's not just like, I'm praying for you. A lot of times it's like, I'm praying for, you know, your new business. I'm praying for your family. I'm praying for you as a dad, like very, very like intentional, consistent every single Monday I'm praying for you.

And I believe him, you know, it's not like not, not that I ever assume when people say I'm praying for you that they're not praying for me, but I am confident like this guy is, you know, just yeah. Praying for me every single week. And it's very, very encouraging to me. It's, it's been amazing that I've become a friend with somebody who listens randomly to my podcast. And so I just wanted to give him a shout out. He's listening right now. Cause I know he's a huge supporter of us. And I just want him to know that he is my win this week is just having him as a friend and honestly his, uh, devotion towards, you know, the Lord and also just helping and interceding for me, I suppose. So anyway, shout out to him. That's pretty cool.

Wednesday. Neat little friend dynamic you have there. Absolutely. It's fun. It's really cool. So win of the week on a Wednesday. My win of the week is not the presence of something in my life. It's actually the lack of something in my life, which is the win.

I haven't seen a mouse in over a year. Hey! And I'm excited about that. I want to celebrate that. I was thinking about it recently. I don't know. It's free. Yeah.

Mouse free 23, mouse free in 23. I don't want me to think about it, but I was just like in my closet. Sorry. You have a really big closet, but I, I don't.

And so I was just in my, like if I were in my closet, that's really tiny. You know, just thinking about, like if I were in my closet, that's hilarious. You know, just thinking about it one day I was in my closet. Yeah. The idea of you just hanging out in there. That is kind of funny. Yeah.

It's like being like, and yeah, you know, I was just in my closet. I was in the, the room with the water heater. I was just sitting there thinking I was in my boiler room the other day. Just in the vacuum closet. Just hanging out. Yeah. And I just was in my attic room the other day uh just in the vacuum closet just hanging

out yeah and i just was in my attic and i was just like man holy cow yeah thankful for insulation you know i was just thinking well because there was a there was a day and age where oh i think i was digging up like clothes that were on the ground and was like trying to find something that i knew they weren't like dirty clothes that had been freshly put there i was like these are clothes i don't wear they're in the corner of my. And if I had been in several other previous homes I'd been in, it's like, I could find some mouse poop. And like the corners where the sweatpants are, that's where they like to go to the bathroom. And so in that moment, digging up old sweatpants, I was like, hey, I don't need to worry about this. That's a great feeling.

Shawnee house, a lathe house, we're mouse free, baby, for a long time. It feels good. I am worried a little bit about the shawnee house not because it's going to be super dirty rachel keeps it pretty clean but it's just whatever what was this 1920s house 1935 there's got to be a lot of mouse holes in here there we don't lack mouse holes yeah do not hear me say i'm i'm joyful for the lack of mouse holes in my life you you have you have plenty of mouse holes and first thing and once you get married you're gonna you're gonna experience a bunch more mouse holes that's what i You, you have, you have plenty of mouse holes. And once you get married, you're going to, you're going to experience a bunch more mouse holes. That's what I've heard. That's what the class we're in warned us of that. I remember when I was looking

at the house, first thing Peter said, it was like, Hey, one car garage. Second thing, tons of mouse holes. This is an area. Just look all around that neighbor's got mouse holes. Uh, that neighbor across the street, big mouse hole. Uh, that's what they say is like a thing in real estate is like, you never want to be the biggest mouse hole in your neighborhood. That's not going to be good for resale value. Listen, if you, yeah, like have a modest mouse hole. That's fine.

Be right in the middle, mouse hole wise. Float on, but you know what? Just at the end of the day, you don't want to be the biggest mouse hole wise float on but you know what just at the end of the day you don't want to be the biggest mouse hole on the block yeah it's i was i think we're right in the middle so the opportunity is there for the mice to get inside but um that's when it's a big challenge and katherine always takes it personally whenever she sees a mouse at our house because she's like oh they hate us that means yeah that means that she's not cleaning well enough or there's there's crumbs out or whatever. And I'm always just like, I think it's because we live in a, you know, old house and it's,

you know, five degrees outside. So they want to come inside. Yeah. So. But we made it all winter here. No mice, mice free. Mice free since 23. In Shawnee.

Do, do rabbits eat mice? Yeah. I feel like they don't. Do they? No, I don't. I don't think so. Rabbits seem like. Cats do.

Like herbivores. Cats. Because we got plenty of rabbit holes too around here. I don't think so. Rabbits seem like. Cats do. Like herbivores. Cats. Because we got plenty of rabbit holes too around here. So many rabbits. Every time I leave this house. Yeah, you're a rabbit hole way to happen at this point. Yeah. Yeah.

And when it snows, rat prints. Well, what's the difference between rabbits and hares? Because I've seen a lot of hare holes around here too. Really? Yeah. Hares are traditionally bigger. Okay. So you're going to notice a bigger hare hole.

And they have big ears Yes, so you have here your hair your whole your hair holes Hair your home No, I don't know anymore, okay, well that's fun. Hey fun bit fun bit from it from it I think enough is enough. Let's go. We got plenty of good stuff with the girls. Let's, uh, let's get on with it.

The first ever ask the girls segment. Rachel, Catherine, here they are. It's time. Our first ever ask the girls segment. We've got a fiance. We've got a future neighbor.

We've got an old neighbor. Which one is which? Uh, here the girls are. Catherine, Rachel, thanks for being with us today. Thanks for having us.

Happy to be here. Happy to be here. First time ever on the podcast, all four of us. So that's an exciting time. Nice little quartet. First question from all the ghosties, which they sent in. What, a thousand? A thousand and five.

A thousand and five. I knew it was close. Catherine has been married to me for nine years and still doesn't understand my sarc. You see her face, she's like, no, a thousand. We are not that interesting. A thousand and five. I am not that interesting. That's like really close to a thousand.

Jake was so close with his guests too. Five off. What are the odds? The deviation of that's wildly low. Okay. Anyway. Thanks to everyone who has submitted questions. They've been really fun to read. And yeah, we have a lot of good ones. Yeah, we could do just ask the girls for the next six months and not run out of questions from you guys. So that's actually true. Yeah, our podcast.

We'll see how this goes. See if you guys like it. And we do more. This first question comes from Rachel outside of present company. This actually is kind of funny. It does kind of seem like you might've submitted it. Yeah, Rachel, how do you get such amazing blonde hair? Is that natural?

Get layers on accident. The question from Rachel says, where do you gal shop? Always have the cutest clothes. Oh yeah. It does seem like you asked yourselves, but okay, what do you think? Oh, you go ahead.

Should I take yours? Yeah, that's good. Sorry, I know that was a plan I forgot. Wherever there's a good sale. Target. H&M. Okay. Yeah, H&M, good sweaters.

Do we know what H&M stands for? Hmm. Oh, maybe that. Harry and Meghan? Oh, yeah. Oh, it's our biggest company. Yeah, that's right. Yes.

Good. Are you an online shopper? I have been recently because I've been looking for bridesmaids dresses. And where I find them are cute boutiques. Oh, boutiques. Now I got these in my head. Okay. Petal and Pup was one of them.

Cute. I don't think clothing is their main source of business. Pedal and pup sounds like it's like a biking and you know, like biking with your dog. Yeah. Groomer or something. They're Australian. So really cute.

Kath, what about you this is H&M so good job on saying H&M I in the past few years have recently been an online shopper which I actually hate so I don't really recommend that

because you can't turn anything on you can't see it you can't touch it you can't all those things but I have three children and COVID happened so i buy online but i return a lot so um places i shop i really like carly jean los angeles yes yeah you're allowed to say that we're trying to get them to sponsor the podcast like am i allowed to like give them these are the pants i'm wearing right now are carly jean so i mean i really do wear them like almost every day this before yes It's a wonderful place.

Honestly, a great company to support too. Yeah, great company. And I think they make everything or the majority of their stuff in America. Yeah.

Which I think is a good thing. A lot of people like that. Carly Jean, Target. Madewell. I'll answer for you. Oh, Madewell, yeah. No?

I think I have two shirts from Madewell and they have t-shirts and I love them. Okay. This is things I know from my personal life. What about free people? You still have free, Madewell, yeah. No? I think I have two shirts from Madewell, and they have t-shirts, and I love them. Okay. This is things I know from my first marriage. What about free people? Are you still free people-ing?

No way. No? No way. No. Why? Why? But when I talk about free people, it's for very free-spirited people. Is that accurate?

It's not for the Rachels and Katherines. You had some free people. And think of the two free people things I owned. I don't know what's what. Pretty sure they came from a thrift store and they were very flowy. Free flow. Yeah. Which is great.

OK. But great. It's great. Yeah. That's all I can think of. I like how Catherine talks about each one of these brands like they are currently sponsoring this episode. Right.

I only have two Madewell shirts, but I do like them. But they are wonderful. I do enjoy them. Yes. I'm just saying. I don't own that many. okay that's fun uh richard you want to talk real quickly about how much money you've spent on clothes just this month oh uh unfortunately yes and they're all my fault so uh one of my friends actually a lot of my friends have been renting from

newly if anybody's seen it advertised yes i've been very intrigued yeah yeah they do a good job advertising because they really advertise their good things it's like fancy clothes like event it's like anything like okay kind of like stitch no no no i mean that's not what you pick it yourself rent the runway yeah yeah yeah it's like that it's like that so for engagement pictures i used my friend's discount code and i rented a bunch of things and I ended up using one but I only did that for engagement pictures so I'd have a bunch of options instead of like buying a hundred things and then not wearing it and then knowing I'm not

going to return it so I did that last month and that was like January 10th ish when I rented it so I thought I hadn't until February 10th oh gosh Rachel you did it too? Brad's sweating already but I was like i'm just

gonna return them because they're all like sundresses i'm not wearing right now so i was talking to jake i was like i need to return the newly stuff today which was like february 2nd or something you thought you had a month yes go ahead 30 days is that what it is okay okay sure and he was like well maybe you should just like read the because i was like i'm gonna do that tomorrow make sure i do it tomorrow and he was like maybe you should just like read the the fine print and like see when exactly i don't even think i said fine print it's really hard to find this stuff like it's like what what's the harm in just checking the email now like why even wait till tomorrow does it do it right now and i was like,

no, I'm just going to return them tomorrow. Like I'm, it's going to be fine. I'm just going to do it tomorrow. So I did, I did. I returned them and then I got the notification that UPS shipped it.

Okay. And then I got another text that was like, you're out. Now you can start picking out your clothes for this month. So I was like, wait, wait, wait.

Does that mean I just get charged for the next month? Which I did. Um, it starts on the first of each month that mean it's gonna charge for the next month which i did um it starts on the first of each month so it's a subscription service yes i missed that part i'm sorry okay have i canceled it for next month not yet but are you getting another batch of clothes i am but there's not like anything i needed to get this month well that's okay everything i wanted was like oh there's some really cute like lilacs. Not going to be wearing that in February. You got lilac in this time of year? No, but it would be so fun to pull them out in April.

I'm going to have to return them by then. Oh, because you're renting. Renting. Yeah. That's the bummer. That's the bummer. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I have Stitch Fix in my brain, and that one you own. Yeah. Right. It makes sense. You're right. Owning your own clothes.

Don't do it. Owning your own clothes. Yeah, return. Yes. Owning clothes does seem like the way to do it it does it seems like the traditional way yeah so rachel you you just said something like you know i went on newly and like i didn't need anything but what did you do this morning while waiting for acai bowl to be made okay this one made sense i I was waiting for our assay bowls to be made, which made me late to an event at my own house this morning.

And so I worked out and at the place that I worked out at, they sell Lululemon stuff. I never buy anything because it's way too expensive. But they had a 40% off rack for like a t-shirt that I would wear all the time to work out there like that's exactly what i work out in yeah so i was like oh i should i should get it it's 40 off it was gonna be like a very much cheaper lululemon i don't even know the price but i hope you got three i did all right got one well it's a good color so i went up to check out and i even like mentioned i was like i feel like i had to get this. It's 40% off the lemon. You never see that.

Right. And then the girl checked me out and charged full price. And there was a lot of people behind me. No, no, you did not. No, you did not.

I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything. No, you did not. Oh my God. How confident were you that it was 40% off? Was it on the 40% off rack or was it on the tag? It was on the 40% off rack.

Which is good enough. You gotta check the racks. No. You gotta check the racks. There's more than one shirt. There's more than one shirt of this one on the rack. And it doesn't matter if it's on the wrong rack. That's their fault.

It should still be 40% off. 100%. I've done that multiple times. See, I think like at an Old Navy or like a bigger store. Yeah, that's where I did it. But this is like, yeah, I know that. I remember at Catherine one time they were like, well, I know that. I remember Catherine one time. They're like,

well, it said 40% off. So yeah, it didn't matter. But something like this, it's like a little like studio gym. Yeah. I was like,

I see this girl every day. Oh man. So a full price. Well, but you will. I guarantee you. I will wear it. I love it.

Try to wear this shirt or that shirt to work out. I guarantee you. I'm wearing the Mitch. I will never not wear it. I should go change into it. I remember. Why are you not wearing it right now? never not wear it. I should go change into it. I remember it. Why are you not wearing it right now? Go put it on.

I'm going to put it on right now. Yeah, share that thing. Pass it around. Where is it? In my bathroom. Okay. Can I tell a story about what you were talking about? Unless you had something else.

Catherine did rent the runway for a wedding back. It was Rachel Walton's wedding, right? Rachel Mustang. I'm just, I would like to just go ahead and say, I'm so happy to be here while we were recording this because I can correct everything you're going to say. Oh, go ahead.

This is so great. Yeah. You probably feel that way a lot when we're a lot. No, essentially it was like, it was a long time ago as well. I'm what I'm trying to say. AKA when we didn't have a ton of money,

we, we had enough money that this wasn't like detrimental, but rent the runway, you know, whatever it was, how much do you think it costs to rent this thing? I'm not going to say that. Okay. $300. I don't think it was $300. I was trying to get a reaction. She didn't give me one, but, um, it was, it was, I remember being like, you're paying that much to rent something. And then she's like, yeah, but you just return it. I really wanted to wear it, blah, blah, blah.

So then she returns it. And like a week goes by and she gets a notification. It's like, Hey, you need to return your thing. And apparently you returned it to the U S post office. So dumb rather than UPS. Because UPS and USPS. Very similar. So this whole time, like, yeah, like they've just been holding it there.

Cause it's like, well, this isn't our label. And so it's just been in Prairie village, you know, and not getting started on the Prairie village post office or the people that work there. Okay. Calm down. At least eight years ago.

And so then they charge you like a late fee and the late fee is just astronomical. Like it felt like, it felt like we just, you know, had an extra mortgage. The dress times two. I mean,

yeah, it was a $300 or something like that. And I remember as a newlywed, when you're 23 years old, 25 years old, I was not happy about it. I was like, are you kidding me? Because the runway is you only, it's like a three-day rental.

Oh my God. Yeah, it's quick. So you get it in the mail on Friday. For the runway. Oh, okay. And I wore it to a wedding on Saturday and then you have to return it on Monday. Yeah, it's really quick. And I did return it on Monday.

Let the record show just to the wrong location. There might've been some finer print for yours. I don't know. Anyway. Okay. Thank you for answering that question. That was so don't use rental services. Yeah.

This is the modern day, like female red box. Right. It's like, I guess i just own it now this is mine now that's so funny okay that was fun uh question one took us about 10 or 11 minutes so great um this is another fun one i think for you guys to both answer it comes from bonnie rachel your grandma maybe uh probably not but it for both of you, what was your favorite book you read this last year? Oh, wow. Are we going to say one?

On three. Ready? One, two, three. The Things We Cannot Say. Go ahead and say it. I can never remember the exact title. I know. I think I remember I told you.

I was like, all of the things we cannot say. Yeah, I know. And I was like, okay. Give us a summary of things we cannot say you recently read it just quick did okay okay okay uh world war ii book set in poland which sorry quick quick it's one of those you know like half is modern day and half is back then and yes and um it's kind of hard to explain without giving too much away do you cry do you laugh you want to you want to you want to you might did you have a hard time putting it down yeah is this the one recently that you were like

i think so and so is gonna get so and so yes i said to brad and brad i was like she hasn't she is going to you didn't summarize a you know anything to me you had you hadn't even really talked to me about this book and as you're reading you just couldn't help yourself you're like i think alexis is gonna get killed by mary or something like that i don't know what it was no you just you you don't see it coming and it's not like it's like a super like like i don't know bombshell thing that happens yeah but it's just like you don't see super like, like, I don't know, bombshell thing that happens. Yeah. Yeah.

But it's just like, you don't see it coming at all. And they just kind of blindside you with this piece of information. And it's, it's, it's a great. Can I tell your part? Cause I didn't say anything. Oh yeah. Go ahead. Oh, me.

What? Oh, okay. The modern day piece of it. Main characters. Wow. That looks nice. That's a great color. I would pay half or full price for that, bad boy.

Athletic fit. I mean, can't you see me wearing that any day for everything? That's nice, Rachel. Brad, you want to run home and put on one of my shirts? Trap. Hide the brass. Anyway, okay, Rachel. Yeah, what were you going to say about the book?

Okay, there's a grandma. There's, these are the main characters. Grandma, her were you going to say about the book? Okay, there's a grandma. There's a... These are the main characters. Grandma, her daughter, and then the daughter's son, so it'd be the grandma's grandson, who has autism and has a communication device. Yeah. And that comes into play.

Yes, because the grandma is in the hospital because she had a stroke or something. So she can't talk. Okay. And she's... But she helped raise this boy. Yeah. So she knows this device. Yeah. So they communicate that way. All the things we cannot talk. Okay. And she's, but she like helped raise this boy. Yeah. So she knows this device.

Yeah. They communicate that way. All the things we cannot say. Yes. I don't think it's all, I think it's just the things we cannot say. Truly. I mean,

I like, I cannot recommend it enough. It is, it is such a great, it's clean. Yeah. And it is, it is so good.

It's always nice to find a good, clean book. Seriously. Yeah, absolutely. Okay. There you go. That's what we we're reading we don't always read the same book but sometimes we do uh next question comes from ryan guy former sponsor of the pod uh he asked five of them so maybe we can do a little uh rapid fire here that'd be super rapid. Semi-automatic fire. All right. I shouldn't have said that.

Let's not get political. We're going to get demonetized. Call of Duty. Call of Duty. Call of Duty. That's what we're talking about. What is your favorite date you've ever been on?

These questions are for both of you. Let me think. Rachel, you go first. 90s date. Last year, I don't know. Jake got us like pastel colored outfits

from like the 90s. I guess that was me. He wore it to F12. He had a romper. It looked like one of those white cups with teal and purple around it. And then we went to the mall, to the food court. And then we went rollerblading, which i'm terrible at and then we went to his house and he bought a tv that has like vcrs stuff that you can yes let's get that right like it was like connected to the tv

it was like one in the same oh yeah i remember those and we watched dumb and dumber on vhs it was great kath might not have an answer for this that's incorrect but the answer i'm going to give is the day we got engaged. It was like a long date. It was really good. We went to Sugar Leaf, this wonderful bakery, for lunch. Did we?

We went and rode jet skis. We did ride jet skis. Which was really good. It was really fun. Then we ate dinner at kind of an interesting place. Yeah, that was... I thought it was going to be so fancy and cool, interesting place yeah that was i thought it was gonna be so fancy and cool and it was very expensive but it was interesting bad weird we walked around the branson landing because that's where we were at the time yep um which i love one of my favorite

things to do on a date i don't know is to drive around or like go on a walk either one of those things were really fun so we did that later he gave me a ring, so it was a fun date. Yeah, it was nice. Fun, next one. What is your favorite jean shorts video so far? Mechanics. Because my dad really likes the part that Brad does when he's like, asking the price of something

and you're like, ah. My dad thinks that's so funny. What part? I don't even know. It's like, ah, my dad thinks that's so funny. It's like one second long. It wasn't even that long. And I like when Jake's bouncing on the tire. Yeah. I don't even remember what, I mean, you, you did such a great impression of it. I don't, you know what I'm talking about? I can't believe how much like, yeah, the people in my life liked that video. It was the weirdest video. It was out behind, what was the name of my life like that video. Yeah. It was the weirdest video. It was out behind.

What was the name of that coffee shop? Yeah. Filling Station. Filling Station. Yeah. I showed up there in a collared shirt because I thought I was going to be the guy needing my car getting worked on. And he got there and Trey was like, no, I was thinking you guys would both be mechanics.

Like, oh my gosh, if I don't have an outfit, I didn't prepare like a. Like what mechanic is just out in the middle of like a parking lot? Like every mechanic I've ever gone to has like the waiting room in the front and like the mechanic people and like the garage in the back. It made no sense. And I was trying to like find my mechanic voice and it kept switching the whole video. And you were like, you should do the one from like that Google Fiber phone call. And so I was like, yeah, it was very raspy.

But I couldn't keep that up the whole time. So they would change rapidly. And thank you for liking it. I love it. Catherine, did we stall long enough for you? You did. You did. And a genuine one came.

I really do feel this way about this one. I think one of my favorites is, I'm sorry, Jake. I don't think you read it. But it's the one when Trump gets back on Twitter. Oh, wow. I love Brad's Trump impression. I do think it's really good. And I just thought the jokes in there were really funny.

And you did a good job with that. That's right. It's really good. And I just thought the jokes in there were really funny. And you did a good job with that. That's right. It's so funny. Like the ones, both of those are not our most popular videos by any means. Like neither of those did well. I laugh out loud when I watched that one. Cool. Thank you.

You're welcome. The one I thought you were going to say, because you said I wasn't in it, was going to be when Brad filmed with your family, the conservative dads on the beach. And your dad is in it. And my dad is in that. Yes. Your dad, we could have just given him the camera and said, go Gary. And your dad is in it. And my dad is in that. Yes. Your dad, we could have just given him the camera and said, go Gary. He would have been so happy to.

Like half the jokes in there were from your dad. Yeah. Oh, it was great. Just like things he would say throughout the week. I'd be like, all right. Yeah. Brad was like taking notes throughout the week. Okay. Next question. What is something your guy does that is already just like their dad? It's so funny. Like all these questions questions different ways that people refer to us like your man your guy your partner yeah yeah all these are just kidding no one said that right no no one said the good thing okay but do you have one where i can say yes um sorry how is it exactly worded what is something that your

guy does already just like their dad? This is a more recent thing, and I would say it's more you just on the way to being your dad. It sounds like you're setting it up. You're just not quite there yet. Recently, in the past year or so, Brad has gotten started taking pictures at random times.

Okay. Go ahead. Keep going. For example, I thought you were going to say like, start getting up early and being disciplined with this quiet time. Which he does. And I love that.

Yesterday we went to lunch spontaneously. Who was there? Me, Bo, Rosie, Brad and Jake. And Brad took our picture in the booth, which is fine. But I was like, okay, and Jake. And Brad took our picture in the booth, which is fine.

But I was like, okay, great. We'll probably eat out like this a thousand more times in our life. No way. How many times, Jake, how many times, give Jake the microphone, please. Jake, how many times have you ever been out to eat with my kids? Can you think of another time? Torchy's Tacos, Oklahoma City. Okay, great.

How do you remember that? Because you've seen a picture of me and Maddie and Jake. No, Oklahoma City. Okay, great. How do you remember that? Because you sing a big track of me. No. And Maddie and Jake. No, because I have a good memory. Don't shout. Our kids are in the other room. I know. That is a great point, Catherine.

You're right. Your kids are locked in on Magic School Bus, by the way. Yeah, they don't get screen time very often. I went out to change my shirt and I was like, good episode. And they didn't even look at me. Beau will at least like talk to you but he'll just be like yeah he does have an expiration date though he'll probably get bored here in a minute i just i always think to myself i love this moment i love the fact that jake i love i love integrating jake with our lives and it was so sweet and fun yeah bo like chose to go sit by

jake yesterday i was, this is great. I'm going to take a picture of them. They look so cute. Which we were in a circular booth. So whichever side Bo sat on, he'd be next to Jake. I'm trying to be. He loves you, Jake. I'm just saying.

If you were up to, there's always one in every marriage. It's like, I'm going to take all the pictures because the other person never takes any. So did I say any of this was a bad thing? Yes. Just probably what, three days ago, I was like leaving Rachel's house and about to go do something.

And I just, I said, I'm going to get in the habit of taking home videos, but just on my iPhone or whatever. And so I just recorded Rachel. I said, Rachel, what are you doing today? And she's like, oh, I'm watering the plants right now. And I was like, what are you doing later today? It was like, she was like my five-year-old daughter

or something. But I think it'll be fun to be able to look back at that. Okay, no, that is really fun. I will give you that. Are you kidding me? Videos are so fun. Videos are so fun because you can hear their voice and you can see them doing something. Okay.

Home videos are good and fun. Okay, so Catherine's just picky about the content I provide. My dad's ridiculous with the camera. You'll be in an intense conversation. He'll just be like, okay, Catherine Rachel over here. Okay. And then it's like, if it's like a six month old, he wants the six month old to look at them and smile. It's like, dad, just take the picture. I do not think I'll get there. If I get there, you could talk to me about it. Oh, I will.

So, okay. Rapid fire. Next one. Oh, sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. I've got two. Number one, Jake's dad has a spot that he always sits at their house.

Jake has found a spot that he always sits at my house. Fun. Which, Brad, you saw me in the spot last night. Oh, that's Jake's spot. Yes. Really? A lot of times I'll come home from like um babysitting or practicum or something and jake is in that spot like asleep because i'll be like can i go yeah yeah twice

not twice i've taken pictures every single time does he love to nap so he's got a spot okay and also jake's dad does a good job of making games really fun. When we go to Springfield, or Stratford, I guess, we play the pickleball in the gym. And his dad's always rolling out a gymnastics mat that you have to get over. Jake does that stuff all the time. So two good things. That's good. When I'm not napping, I am capable of putting on these fun games. When you have energy.

Yeah. Well, I like to apologize for napping a little bit the day after. What did I throw up? Nine times the day before? Oh. Sorry you had to come home. God.

I was asleep. That's too bad. Next question. What article of clothing does Jake and Brad have that you wish you would get rid of? I meant to bring mine today because I know exactly

what you're going to say mine have you worn it for any videos or anything do you know i think you've ordered for the podcast i think he has you know it's that white weird sherpa that is like oh yeah reversible though yeah reversible and the other side looks like the bottom of a pool on the other side, it looks like the bottom of a pool. Yes. The other side is wild. It's so gross. I remember that I was so nice to him for everything that he was buying

last year on tour. He had a high clothing budget each month. So my one month isn't that bad. Yeah, right. That's fair. But when he,

I was so nice about everything because they were all pretty fine. But this one, I did not hold back my feelings. Good. That is not cute. And that's being nice. He was about to go stand in front of millions of people.

I was not going to wear the Sherpa on stage. I was touring in Vermont. And so I was like, hey, just get something warm. You really never thought about wearing the Sherpa on stage? No, it looks like I'm really overweight when I wear it. I would never wear it on stage. Extra fuzzy. But I knew. So not only Uh, but I, I knew,

so not only did Rachel, like, I think she was truly honest with me for maybe the first time with this piece of clothing. But when I knew that Rachel was correct, it was when tour manager Tom saw me and he goes, Jake, I like that. Yeah.

Every once in a while you get compliments from people and you're like, I wish you didn't say that. Uh, yeah. Yeah. So that's what I knew. I was like, all right,

this is probably not that great but it is probably the warmest thing i own so really warmer than the coat i got you for christmas i've never worn them i've never done like a study on it hard to know exactly but i'll freaking burn it i don't know no i wanted it it's pretty warm don't get rid of it i would use it. It is pretty warm. Don't get rid of it. I would use it. Mine is a shirt that Brad was given and I'm pretty sure from a ghost. I'm so sorry. It is a collared shirt. Kind of looks like a golf shirt. Maybe I don't know if it really is a golf shirt and it's, and it's got the state of Arkansas on it, but about 5 billion times.

So it, it kind of gives me a headache when i look at it and the example i give is if you grew up reading the comics um there was always this thing at the bottom and it was like an optical illusion like it wasn't a picture it was just like a design and you had to like hold it up to your nose and cross your eyes like stare at it for five minutes and like it would like become 3d and like i could never get it as a kid and then i finally did get it and i was like that was so not worth it and that's what that's our marriage that's looking at brad yeah that's how i feel about that shirt yeah it's so funny we were looking at this like some of these questions and that was one of the ones i was like article

closing rachel's like i think i know the stripper thing and I was like, well, article closing, Rachel was like, I think I know the Sherpa thing. And I was like, do you have anything like that? And Catherine just kind of looks at me and I'm wearing the shirt. The one you have on that you wore to church this morning. It is so comfortable though. Shout out to Jeff for giving it to me. I think it's a great shirt. I've complimented you when you've worn it.

So sorry, Catherine. Well, maybe you're too angry at Tommy and me right now. Dude, I love it. I think it's awesome, dude. Okay, this next question is from Brock for Catherine. I bet Brock like bench presses at least 300 pounds. I've never met a skinny Brock. There's no way there's like a weak Brock out there.

Brad says, Brad has a ton of impressions he does on the podcast, but he states he performs them in front of his family and friends. Catherine, what are your honest thoughts about his impressions? Do you have a favorite? Also, do you have a go-to impression? Absolutely not. I am horrible at impressions. You do kind of do a few of my impressions, I feel like. Oh yeah, I do like to impersonate Brad, but yeah, I'm not going to um my favorite impression that he does is trump which i do feel like is kind of like an easier one but just funny because i don't do that one very often no i i don't know why that one's fun i mean trump is easy to impersonate for anybody you don't do that one

for the family very often i'll just come in grabbing scrambled eggs for breakfast they're all chopped up incredible put some salt on it i don't know yeah i don't know i think that one's really funny yeah yeah okay yeah there's one like the lucky one you like that one you tired of that one you don't like it at all katherine you you do it no i do not you do it no i do not look tell me what i do you You do it too. You're like, hey man. That is not lucky. That's crazy. Lucky is un-understandable.

What's that word I'm trying to say? Incomprehensible. Incomprehensible. Non-comprehensible. The things we cannot understand. Yeah. Okay. I don't want to talk about that anymore.

Yeah. Bring back the Arkansas shirt again with your words. Okay. This next question is from Emily for Rachel. What was the conversation like with your parents when you explained that Jake did not have a conventional job? Ah. Um, I remember when I first told my mom,

she, or yeah, when I first told my mom, I was like, I met this person that is like a Christian comedian and she was like wow that's fun that sounds like someone you would like

I was like yeah it is I sent her like a podcast his Instagram all this and she watched it and I was like please just don't follow him on Instagram. Because, like, we were officially talking about that. Just do not follow him.

You can listen to this stuff, but don't follow him. And then, like, the next day, I got a text from Jake. And it was a screenshot of Angie Koop just started following you on Instagram. And I was, I texted her right away. I was like, what did you do? And she, apparently she says, my friend said it was okay to follow him because he has more followers that you'd like an amount where you wouldn't be able to keep track of it, but he noticed right away. So here's my, can I have a theory back?

Yes. I was thinking about this a little bit, um, because I've heard this story and I think maybe what happened, Jake, you need to defend yourself or talk to me about this, is that maybe he was creeping on you. You tagged Angie Coop in a picture. He went to Angie Coop's. And if you go to their profile,

they'll say follow back instead of follow. What do you think? That is a good theory. But I think your mom's Instagram isn't like a really an active Instagram, right? Probably private. Yeah. Yeah. But not.

Like, I don't think it. But even then you just click on it. Well, I don't. Have you ever like tagged your mom in anything? Maybe something like 2016. I mean, when you're in love, you creep hard. So, but yeah, that does kind of hurt the theory. So yeah, she was more than happy with his job.

Yeah. He's his job. Yeah. He's doing great. Yeah. That's fun. Fun. If you guys can't tell, Rachel and I are sharing a microphone. Next question from Haley for Catherine. This could be a good one.

Could be one you may not want to say much. I don't know. You're picking hard ones. Would you be willing to elaborate on Rosie's birth story? Oh. Is there anything that you could share from your perspective Would you be willing to elaborate on Rosie's birth story? Is there anything that you could share from your perspective or anything that Brad left out of the infamous city story? I don't know. I've got to think back on that.

OK, so you were pregnant. Yeah. Well, here's something. Here's something I will. I don't know. I don't remember exactly what he said. I haven't listened to the episode since it came out. Probably. I sound like an idiot in that birth story. Like I like didn't know I was in labor. I knew I was in labor. I just thought I could get a few things done.

And I did. So it was all fine. I don't think you sound like an idiot. From what I remember that story, you just sounded very like confident and casual. La yeah yeah i also if i if i'm being honest with myself and i realize this later i um didn't really want to accept that i was in labor so therefore i was like i'm not like i remember texting the midwife being like my um contraction timer said they were coming every three and a half minutes and i was like that was probably like a one-off they're coming every five minutes that wasn't true at all why did i say that yeah i don't know why i did that i was just like oh so you texted them the wrong information i just kind of i don't know i do that you kind of told him it was 40 off yeah yeah like a hundred percent Yeah. You're like, 100%. 100%. Okay, you said it that time. So yeah, I will say that.

Yeah, I don't... I think your information was pretty accurate for the most part. Yeah. Every time we tell the story, I feel like we kind of argue over how long it took for the midwife to get there. Yeah. But I have a watch and Catherine does it, and so I know how long it took. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it happened really fast, as we all know.

Somebody asked if you plan on, if we have another kid, are you going to do another home birth? For sure. For sure. 100%. Yeah. No 40%? No.

Okay. That's great. I mean, it was, you know, wild and crazy, but hey, made for great content, which is what I'm here for. Yes, it did. Here to be supportive. Most listened to episode of 2022.

Seriously? So thanks for that. Oh, yikes. Yeah. Appreciate that. Oh, sure. Our next question comes from someone. It says, Rachel, what kind of coffee are you drinking right now?

Oh, local coffee, local people. Jeez. Yikes. Yikes. It is. Main Street. Is this Main Street? Main Street Roaster. local coffee local people jeez yikes it is main street roaster there it is just says the random name on the mug

I was like oh I just had this idea this would be really clever to work in the ad read Rachel's like some nondescript I don't even know if it has a name. Catherine's drinking. Yeah, she's got the tumbler.

And Rachel really is drinking Main Street Roasters. And how is it? How is it? Oh, it's very good. Good answer. Good answer.

It is though. It really is. Yes, it really is good. I don't use any of the other coffee in really is. Yes. It really is good. I don't use any of the other coffee in there anymore. Right. She took it out. Making up some ground here.

From new season now streaming exclusively on Paramount+. Okay, next question from Virginia. This is kind of fun and kind of random. This is for both of you guys. How long do you let your gas tank get? I think she means like, oh, yeah. Sorry, this is not Virginia's fault. This is my fault.

How low do you get your gas tank get before filling it? I've definitely ran out of gas before. No. Oh, yeah. And actually, you never have. Oh, yeah, like you've done it multiple times? You never have. Multiple times? And both. No, never. Two or never have. Oh, yeah. Like you've done it multiple times. Yeah. Never have. Multiple times.

And both. No, two or three times. Two or three times. And the same guy from my community helped me. He drove by very quickly. That's your girl ran out of gas again. Not her town, her community. Yeah.

Two people from her community. No way. Yeah. Well, one time I was like going to the gas station. Sure. And Jake in New Hartford, you know, you have to go over those train tracks to get to Casey's. I got over the train tracks and then the car shut off. It was like, like I was looking at the gas station.

And so then that meant like the steering wasn't working. Yeah. So I couldn't turn into the gas station. So the car just died. Oh, you were right there. Parallel to the gas station. Because I couldn't turn in the driveway. So what the car just died. Oh, you were right there. Parallel to the gas station. Because I couldn't turn in the driveway. So what's this guy's name that came and helped you out?

Barry Cavalier. Really nice guy. He's athletic director at the middle school in New Hartford. He's a great guy. Have you ran out of gas? Yeah. Once or twice. Okay, first of all, the fact that you don't remember once or twice or two or three.

It was a long time ago. Shows that we didn't learn our lessons. We've matured since then. So how low do you get it now? Well, I don't know. When it says, hey, go get gas. I say, okay. I don't let it get that low.

I mean, I feel like 20 miles to empty is probably when I go. And I think the bell comes on at like 40 miles to empty. However, I'm starting this new thing. I just did it the first time. Ooh, Catherine Kick? It's a new rhythm. Weekend rhythm. Fill up your car.

I like it. I like it. That's it. No, every weekend. You build that up so much. Like, oh, and I have this new idea? It's a new thing I'm doing? But it's specifically on the weekend.

Specifically on the weekend. That's nice. So even if you have three quarters of a tank, fill it up. Yeah. And so then every weekend you do that. And then you set yourself up for success. There you go. On Monday.

And you start your week off so nice. Sure. Nothing to worry about then. Nothing to worry about. Just free and easy. Rachel, I know you have an electric car now. Oh, yeah. How close have you let that thing?

Have you ever let that run out of battery? Cause that would be like a big deal. Oh, it would. I'm so scared of it because mine doesn't hold as much as Jake's and the way to Iowa, it's really close on my drives home from like charger to charger. Yeah. It gets to like 10 miles.

See that I've never ran out of gas. So I don't have any like fear of that. I'm like 10 miles and 10 miles. I'll be never ran out of gas, so I don't have any like fear of that. I'm like 10 miles and 10 miles. I'll be fine. That's sort of what I think. But what scares me is

Jake's always like, it's not like exactly 10 miles. It's like about. Yes. Yes. That's true. Well, I was thinking the opposite.

Like I've gotten it towards like past zero on the miles thing. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Every weekend I get there. I never feel that past a quarter. Thank you girls.

Thank you for joining us. That was so fun. Easily the best Ask the Girls segment we've ever done. It was top two not second. Yes. That's what I've always said. It was first. Thank you to Catherine and Rachel. And thank you guys for all the questions you asked. Yes, we have. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to, we're going to do it again. So yeah. Outstanding. Thank you to the girls. Uh, let them know in the comments,

if you enjoyed them or any specific answer that really hit home with you. Uh, let's wrap this up with a YouTube comment of the week. Uh, I found my comment and then right below it was another really good one. So I'm going to, I'm double deck and we, we make the rules so we can do that. Angela Verdel said y'all made my. And I just ordered the butter pecan crunch coffee for me and a mug for our pastor from Main Street Roasters. They have such a huge selection of items. Other bonus YouTube comment of the week. I don't know how we didn't talk about this or realize this. Ruth says this year's Superbowl is a different kind of F12. I know. Ah, it's yeah. It's two good F12s in a row yeah can we can we reflect

on f12 the first one hey let's normalize f12 and let's normalize f12 i it's crazy it's been a year you know you know jake it's been a year it has been a year brother it's been a year um in some ways it feels like f12 was so long ago in some ways. It's like it was yesterday, brother. When we reflect on F12, we're just doing cheesy phrases just the whole time. You know, you don't realize what you have until it's gone. Don't cry because F12 was over. Brother, smile because F12 happened.

Smile because it happened, all right, brother. All right, all right, all right, all right. Yeah, man. I think, I remember last year, I went to Austin,as right before you uh and i i remember like coming home from austin texas yeah we were both in austin texas the week of that we were both in austin texas like the day before f12 i think f11 we were in austin texas together uh which is just a great idea uh i don't think i really like knew what to expect or what to

anticipate from that day um and it was just so much fun. I think it's one of those like iconic moments in my opinion of the ghost runners history, as far as just like, obviously only 300 and some people were there, but I think the conversations, the interactions that happened on that day, like at least spurred us in our confidence on to do so much more, even just seeing how it affected, sorry, like at least spurred us and our confidence on to do so much more. Even just seeing how it affected, sorry, like my parents or like our friends, I feel like our friends were just like, dude, this is crazy what you've built. It's easy to be like, yeah, Jacob Bradd, do their podcast thing. And then when you see people come and support, so that reflecting on them, reflecting back on us again, and of course Chick-fil-A and you guys

just being so great. It's so fun to, yeah, I think, you know, I remember after maybe the week after like our friend from Chick-fil-a like sent us a you know a screenshot of like their security footage and it's like just yeah like so many people in there i mean you could barely move unreal um shoot i was gonna say something else maybe hey that's my bad dude i might have interrupted i might have interrupted. I might have interrupted. It was really good. Our friends, our parents reflecting Chick-fil-A at night. Yeah. I don't know.

It was just, it was just so much fun. And my favorite thing from the whole night was just that spontaneous pizza guy that came in. I want to do that. Anytime we ever have a lot of, we're always incorporating a rando yeah i want to like because even even if for nothing else like giving this guy a 20 tip would have been way better than he was expecting like yeah and so that's where i was like let's give him 20 bucks and then we'll go from there yeah and then yeah whatever that was so cool it's just it's just cool to see how

the ghosties came together and um we're hoping to do more stuff like that. Looking forward. That's right. Yeah. Anyway, F12. Yeah. We didn't do it this year. Maybe we'll do it next year. Let's depend on a lot of different things. Oh, the thing I was going to say was Rosie wasn't even born yet at F12.

Catherine was very pregnant. It has been a year. It has been a year, my brother. So altogether. Yeah. Just blessed by you guys. And that was one thing that I still use as motivation. Like when I think back on like the next time we see these people, the next time we

get to gather as ghost runners fans, it's just really, really fun. And so I'm looking forward to those days. So anyway, fun F12. Um, my comment of the week comes from Tennessee five, Tennessee five has been a fan for a while. Yeah. I feel like has commented a lot on Jean shorts as well. So just shout out to Tennessee five. It's a very simple, quick one. It's just,

I, I love this compliment. It just says Farley and Spade 2.0. Let's go baby. And I think that is so, you know, unintentionally kind of our, our style is like,

yeah, Jake's like the more polished, like pretty witty and, you know, very, very intelligent. And then he got big clunky Farley over here, just be a goofy and whatever.

And just, just having fun. So I think that's just such a fun idea to be, be compared to them because they're legends. So thank you to Tennessee five for the comment of the week. Tennessee five. Thanks brother. Rock me mama like a wagon wheel.

Fun. Uh, well thanks for listening to another Wednesday episode with us. I hope you guys are enjoying two episodes a week. Uh, cause we are, it's fun to get to do this with you guys. So,
