I studied, I actually studied her in college. I was a major in Olga P. Yeah. Cause she has done a lot. Yeah. I don't even know if we should do this. Like, is it irresponsible to try to do this, but can we narrow it down to like, you know, the 10 things in life that Olga P has taught us? It's gotta be tough. I mean, yeah, that's a lot of things from Olga P.

Where to start, where to start. Not all calories are made the same. Yes. Great book. Yeah. Empty calories, empty life is what she would, what Olga P would always say to us. Yeah. Yeah. What's. What's the number two? For me, it was like the height of the video iPod age, right? And she comes up to me and she puts one hand on my shoulder and she looks at me and she goes, Brad, it's MP3, not MP me. Okay.

I was mind blown. That is, I remember you sharing that with me yeah i have another one if you're okay great um she taught me that life is a roller coaster but like a coaster sometimes you're gonna have to absorb some condensation a roller coaster that's really good coaster you guys get it it's like one of those monsoon rides like sometimes you're gonna get a little wet absorb it condensation yeah one of my favorite things she taught me that she just showed me real quick real easy uh she said i put i put the cat in homeowner and i said what what you have a you have a cat in homeowner. And I said, what? What? You have a cat in your house?

She goes, no. Meow is the word right in the middle of homeowner. And I said, wow, thank you for sharing that. I had no idea. Meow really is. It's right there in the middle of it. Meow is in the middle of homeowner. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Right there. Do you guys get it? She taught me one time. She's like, hey, just FYI, some people are allergic to this. So still, dang it. Let me try again. Ready?

Hey, don't be such a nomad. A lot of people are allergic to packing peanuts. Profound. That's really good. I was trying to get something with peanuts that's good she taught me uh really what the the video in fifth grade could not fully teach me really yep yep was fifth grade yours or uh the ladies uh fifth grade was mine okay never got to watch the ladies never oh that's right and i had some questions and olga p was there and she used a spaghetti noodle a meatball and the rest is history spaghetti noodle and a meatball okay just the one she just taught me she's like brad

Like she just looked at me and she goes, you understand me? You understand me? Do you understand Ogilvy? Big thing I took away from her, her class that I took was,

uh, there's a reason tricycles and tripods both have three colon. Colon. Now have a good day. Triplet. And she just walked away. Yeah. On two legs. She once said hey stop building towers

and start building laptops i don't know how many are we on that was nine that was That was nine. Okay. And hey, finish. Number 10. Like easily the one that we've always said. Let's say it together. How do you call a hog? How do you call a hog? Something like that? Nailed it! I think this type beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat.

So thanks Olga P. so thanks olga p and uh if you guys are already encouraged and uh i'm excited about leaving a youtube comment come to youtube and just look at it just look at it just phase one phase one complete how many phases are there brad three let's say three yeah three sounds like three phases maybe four but phase one is complete uh We got some new gear and hopefully it looks a little different on youtube.com. Hopefully it does. It looks a little different.

Hopefully you notice that it looks a little different. So yeah, we got some new cameras, some new lighting and even new mic stands. Yeah. Shout out to my boy TJ for shouting this, giving us the link for him. Yeah. And we have some other fun devices. They're actually like kind of sitting behind me, but we can't really use those yet but some really fun stuff that uh we had fun playing with i might make a patreon video about it just like easy things like

i click one button and then i sound like a chipmunk and i'm not sure we're gonna use that a lot but you know just fun just fun little trinkets yes it's fun times i'm ready for this episode i feel like i don't want to be too crazy on a Monday morning, but I think it's about to get Zoppity in here. Let's get Zoppity. What do we want to talk about first? How was your week? My week's been great. I've been out of the town for five days or so. I was in Austin, Texas. You heard of Austin, Texas? Austin, Texas. It's so funny. So I went to that same conference that I was at last year. And last year, literally the day I got back, I think it was February 11th. Maybe it was February 12th. And so F12 was going on. So I

feel like we definitely rehashed some of it, um, last year, but like, man, they're still, yeah, it was just, there was so much to unpack from the whole weekend and it was so fun. Um, so yeah, I've been, I've been out of town. It was a lot of fun. We, uh, it's this integrated conference is what it's called. Uh, or this integrated mastermind that I'm in with all these different fathers. Um, and it's led by Jeremy Pryor and Jefferson Bethke, which fun fact, his name's not really Jefferson. Did you know that? Why would you go by Jefferson? If it wasn't your real name? I know it's, uh, because he started a YouTube account when he was like 16 years old when he was doing the spoken word. And he was like, Hey like hey i'm just gonna like be goofy and call myself jefferson as my screen name jefferson bethke and then he yeah

had a viral video about the spoken word thing and he's like well everyone knows me as jefferson bethke so i have to call myself that now really so his name is jeffrey and he goes by jeff oh okay okay it's not crazy oh his name's not like gregory clint yeah turtle or something no no it's just jeff bethke like but did he never gone by jefferson before never like i think that was just kind of a goofy like oh yeah my name is jeff kind of like somebody calls me bradford or something like that jefferson bethke so like it's kind of a indication that somebody doesn't know him that personally if they're like yeah you know i was talking to jefferson earlier you know something like that it does sound weird detached from the last name yes Yes. Yeah. I'm good friends with Jefferson.

And it just sounds weird. It sounds like you're talking about Thomas Jefferson. Yeah. I mean, you can't blame somebody for saying that. I'm sure I probably mentioned it like that because I thought that was his name, but like, anyway, it's just a funny thing to be like, I, that's not my name, but I'm kind of pigeonholed to it now. Can you imagine if I like jokingly was like, yeah, my name is Bradford Ellis on Instagram. And then I got a million views on something. I was like, I guess I'm Bradford now. Catherine, you call me Bradford now. Yeah. He tells everybody that. I think there's a lot of instances in that, you know, uh, Kobe Bryant, his real name is not Kobe. What? Colby. No. Yeah.

Oh, are we doing this? I'm just joking around. Okay. I was like, I'm a really big Kobe fan and I had no idea. Yeah, it sounds weird. People just call him Kobe, but. But it's really Colby. Colby. And yeah, some speech impediment back in second grade, they couldn't say these L's.

Just say Colby. Just say Colby. Colby. Colby Bryant. Colby Bryant. I had a friend growing up that couldn't say his L's very well. And so he would have actually, instead of Colby, he would have called it Kobe. Oh, that's Kobe Jack cheese.

Yeah. Gosh, we kind of, we kind of maybe poked fun of him too much with that. But yeah, we'd be like, oh yeah, I told him that. Like you told him. Oh, he's so owed. Oh, he's like really, really owed. Anyway. And L feels like an easy one to say.

I'm glad you made fun of him are you uh okay good yeah i was just a a mediocre bully back in the day um who else was like that like with the names i'm trying to remember uh gandhi not his real name right it was gandalf and they just they just shortened it like it's just gand people said gandy and then people like wait you said gandhi and i'm like i guess you know mahatma gandalf doesn't have the same ring to it as gandhi does so he just went by gandhi there's certain names that it's like you're just you're just you know playing what's the opposite of playing on second base playing hooky playing yeah from you know in the hole wait what are we talking about like like certain things like get you like you're like starting in a good position what's the opposite of starting like i

was born on third base or something like that yes i was born in the dugout yes exactly yeah like is there a certain name it's like ah you're not gonna do well in life oh a name like butch like you think butch is gonna be a ceo someday griff griff butch is really bad like hey i'm butch like butch you could be a good like there's butch jones he's a good you know college football coach but he's not leading a fortune 500 company named butch you know he's a college football coach um who else what else is that just tabitha i'm just kidding we just like so they find more normal names that definitely our listeners have sarah samantha would be tough that'd be a tough one to to get over you could do it but i've never seen it like can you imagine yeah just being named john right like you're there's no way

john is remarkable dude have you seen the data on like how many guys were just named john even just like 100 years ago really i feel like they just named every guy john i've seen like a stat online somewhere before we're just like yeah every guy was like john or david it's like i don't know yeah let's call him john john works interesting a lot of the early presidents what do you think is like the most popular name right now like in like kids being born now yes kids being born now good question like is it going to be something normal or is it gotta be like, I'm not gonna look yet, but I, I think it's going to be something that we've heard of obviously, cause it's popular. But like my, my niece has two different girls in her class. I can't remember

the exact name. It's something like Ainsley, Ainsley maybe, or like, like that's like, that doesn't sound like a crazy name but to have two girls in a you know probably out of 14 girls in a elementary school class named ainsley high probability is that what it is or acts i feel like i've met two it's funny i've been starting to meet kids or at least hear about children being born that are the names that trey and i made fun of in our first ever like roll call yeah yeah in 10 years or whatever like it's it's starting to happen like jimma met several jimmas yeah yeah i know some jimmas uh journey that was also one in our video hattie has a friend named journey yeah um what else have we seen but yeah it's like it's coming to fruition it feels like it's a lot of nouns

these days onyx river journey moon lyric yeah lyric today yeah she was not a baby no but she she was at one point she was as far as i know all right guess his most popular baby names i'm gonna go i i looked up boy first of all oh okay okay so lucy is probably not a good guess um back in the day i feel like in our day like, like, we should also look up like 1994, like see what. I know Jacob used to do all right. Blake. I feel like Blake was big. Tanner.

I've locked in my guess, I think. On new age. For now. I think Jackson. Because it's still kind of standard, but it's, you know, got an X in it. Yeah. It's like new age. I'm going to go Knox.

K-N-O-X? K-N-O-x k-n-o-x yeah yeah uh knock knocks i am the one who knocks okay we were both wrong okay i'll just tell you right now um number two who built the ark no way um Number three. When the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, we all said it's. Hooray. It's all over. It's Oliver. Oliver, really? I'm trying to think of another pun for these other words.

I don't know. Why did Bo get in trouble with Hattie? Because Elijah her. Elijah, number four. You'd see it, Elijah. And, I don't know, number five is Mateo. Number one. Mateo.

Mateo. There's more people in America, I guess, that are not white and redheaded like us. Congrats, Mateo. Number one, I will find you. Liam? Liam Neeson. Just the whole thing. Liam Neeson.

It's like a hyphenated name. This is, you know, these are our kids, Hattie, Bo, Rosie, Liam Neeson. Liam Neeson and Liam Hemsworth. I think that's something New Girl, they're like, like Nick is talking about. He's like, I have to name my firstborn child's middle name, Reginald Val Johnson, which is the guy's name, Carl from Family Matters. That's like the actor's name in that.

Anyway, Liam. And then for girls. Yeah, I looked at girls too, but I actually looked at it. Did you see? Yeah. Olivia is number one. Yeah. Olivia seemed like it was doing all right in our day.

Let's say, let's hope it's something normal and I'm not like super creepy and like, no things I shouldn't know about the ghosties that listen. But sometimes be like, who am I, Brad? And I'll say, I don't know. Or maybe I'll say, I know everything about you, Knack Baxter. Anyway. So you like Charlotte?

I really like Charlotte. You ever been to Charlotte? Just the airport. Good airport. Good layover airport. Yeah. Yeah. That was something. Got a Chick-fil-A in there. Oh, that is. Yeah. So Kansas City is about to get a brand new airport,

literally like this week, right? Yeah. Probably two days after this comes out. And so I, yeah, I flew in and out of our airport obviously last week and it was like kind of this bittersweet, like, like the Kansas City airport is just so not nice, but it has like the one redeeming quality is that you can get in and out instantly. It would be like taking a normal airport and then, and then taking like a, like a bread roller or something on it and like flattening it out yeah okay because instead of being like congested it's like now spread out like not even that big

airport is very spread out even those little three like terminals they are also very spread out so easy to get in and out the lines are never long but there is nothing inside of it nothing it's so boring no it'd be like it'd be like if you go to a normal size house, like not a big house, but not a small house. And then this normal size house, they're like, you can only go to the, like, once you go through security, you can only go into the guest room closet. That's what it feels like. Like, it's like this tiny little prison of like, there's like four little like restaurant kind of things. Like there's nothing it's. And then you say, oh, are there any restaurants in the guest room closet? And they say, yeah, there's one called Pork and Pickle that's never been open.

Never been open? And there's another one that is called Starbucks. That's about it. Where every single person is in line for Starbucks currently. Yes. And then other than that, we've got like some of those, we've got kiosks. The big kiosk. We've got a kiosk where they sell like bananas.

For like $5 each. Yeah. And cliff bars. Yeah. So not the pride and joy of Kansas city is the airport. It's so far away. Yeah. And that's not changing.

Yeah. That's, that's, that's there no matter what. Well, it'll be closer when you move here. It's like 30 minutes from here. Yeah.

Um, which I feel like most airports aren't that close, right? Dallas love field is right in the middle of Dallas. Besides that, I can't think of many that are like right there. But either way, we're getting a new one. It's going to be so nice, so updated. And so it was like such a bittersweet feeling of like, man, like this is the only airport

I've ever been to in Kansas City in my whole life. But at the same time, it's like, there's a reason why we're upgrading this thing. But I did have a little snafu at the airport. I'm sure. Did you see the Patreon video about all this? Yes. What happened certainly uh didn't it does not that's not my best look in my life um basically i've well documented been without my wallet for like august i think it was end of october oh okay um yeah so i like that you kind of like it was like august right like you were

kind of like only october that's not that long. Um, new, obviously knew I was without it, but had always had my passport as like kind of the backup. And so I was like, okay, I'll just fly with my passport. No big deal. That's another form of ID. Um, and I go like, this is like Saturday morning that I'm about to leave for Austin, Texas. And so it's Saturdayurday dadder day so i went out and you know did chick-fil-a with the kids good time tried to give katherine a little time off you know trying that's i'm trying to like hype myself up for how stupid i am eventually but um get back not fully packed yet even though i need to leave in like 25 minutes or so oh wow

and i go to where we keep our passports and Hattie's is in there. Hattie has a passport. It's awesome. Um, Catherine has two of them in there. It's sketchy, you know, pre and post marriage. Oh, okay. Um, back when she was Hayden and now when she's Cuco kind of thing. Uh, and then no, nothing, nothing for big daddy. Nothing's in there for Brad. Okay. No passport. And so hadn't even like said hi to Catherine yet. And she's like, hi, how's it going? And I go, don't freak out. But do you know where my passport is? And luckily to her credit, she didn't freak out with her words. The, the action seemed a little bit stressed for me. Uh, but she started looking everywhere. She's like, I don't know. Let me, have you checked here? Have you checked here? And I was like, yeah, I think I've checked everywhere.

Um, so we're just like rifling it. And in head i'm like i know that story about jake and megan at the austin airport and how they didn't have an id and so like i know it's possible and it wasn't that big of a deal from what i remember but they have to ask you security questions i don't know how long that's going to take and blah blah so i was like if i can't find it soon i'm just gonna like hustle to the airport just go i can't it's a life hack do you remember megan got through security before i did yeah i got life hack get yeah yeah sorry go ahead no no you're good um this the second time i did it i did get like expedited through the security line with this guy um anyway but yeah so finally you never found it you went to the airport without it no no no no okay so

i find that i katherine finds the passport in like my third string winter coat like as winter coat brad listen i i had it in my car like multiple times when I like drove to South Dakota on the hunting trip. Cause I was like- You gotta have a passport to drive across state lines. It's like one of those things where it's like, do you have ID? And it's like, I don't,

but I have my passport to like proof who I am kind of thing. So Catherine finally finds it. I'm like, oh, awesome. Like I'm back on schedule. I can pack and, you know, and say goodbye everybody. And she goes, Brad, it's expired. And I'm like, what, what are the chances of that? It's expired. She's like, it's expired by two years. I was like, Oh my gosh. And so then the race is on again. So I'm like, okay, I shoved things in the bag. I'm running out the door. Um, because I'm like, you know, I got to figure this out figure this out i gotta so i have my passport my plan was just like let's just play dumb see if the passport passes

which in 2005 it might have well no i like that character it's a character who doesn't know what years are or like yeah like it's not playing dumb it's playing ignorant to numbers yeah like maybe i don't i don't remember on the, but maybe it was like 21st September of, you know, like maybe it was like the different way of putting the date in the different order or something. They did 21.9.21. You're like, well, I don't know which one was the year. Yeah.

Yeah. I was like, oh no. So, so I'm like, I'll just play dumb, you know, and say like, I lost my wallet like last week. So I figured my passport would work. So I get up there, you know, overly kind, laying on the big daddy charm at the airport with the security guard and he scans it and it doesn't really, it makes some weird noise. He's like, oh, he scans it again.

And I'm like, what, what's going on? What's happening here? And also I like, I like drove so fast to Scott. I guess Scott did full service. He did a great job of like, he was ready right when i was got there even though you were running late and didn't have a passport you're like well i'm still not gonna park at the airport i still know yeah because i still had i think i got to the airport even with scott taking me there i think i got there like an hour and a half early okay and so i was like surely it's not gonna be that

much longer if anything yeah i think i'll be okay. Security lines at Kansas City. I think it was like, you know, a two o'clock flight. So it wasn't like the crazy time of day. Anyway, so I'm going through everything. Oh, what? The password doesn't, I don't know. Weird, your beeper might, something might be messed up. You think it's because the airport's switching soon?

Yeah, maybe it's that. Have you guys transferred over softwares? Yeah, you guys seem like you're on the wrong CRM. I think I've heard about CRMs and, oh, are you guys doing the other chat GTPs? I would send it as an attachment. Yeah. Yeah. Do you need me? Yeah. Do you need me to take a picture on my phone and then you guys can like do the e-facts? It's a male XLR to female eighth inch. Okay. Yeah. Do you need, do you need to do that? It goes canines, incisors, peanuts. What does the Amazon AWS say about it? Ear, nose, and throat doctors. They can do all three.

How do we know that you're not messing up? How are you scanning it? Are you doing RFIDs? Are you doing the RFIDs or are you doing more of like the CPM3s? So did you try some of that with him? I did. All that. I was like, and he's like, Oh, it's expired.

And there's a one year grace period. So let's see. And he's like, Nope, Nope. September, 2021. Yeah.

That thing's a long gone. And so they call over Brad. This guy's name is Brad. Brad's like the main agent guy. What Brad's grace period is. Brad was very kind and had me fill out this little form. All I put was like my name and my address, essentially. Scam likely? Answer or don't answer? Uh, sure. Okay. Likely. Don't. Hey, this is Jake.

you're so nervous to answer quickly you're answering correctly let me tell you no let me tell you let me tell you i was not nervous but i played nervous to like get some sympathy points with the people honestly i was like i was like rubbing the back of your neck okay i was like oh gosh okay sorry about this hey i'm sorry i'm sorry we had to do this it's okay it's okay in my head i'm like i knew this was gonna happen sorry my wife and three kids at home that i uh provide for i'm leaving to go to this conference to be a better dad for them uh they really are counting on me to get there um so he calls me or he calls these people and he immediately goes uh he's like first thing he asks is what are the last four digits of your phone number? And I thought he was going to say social security.

Were you expecting me to say social security? Yes. And so I froze for a good two seconds, which is not that long. Whatever you do, don't hesitate. What's your phone number? Yeah. Oh gosh. Start me off with an easy one.

I was like, oh, i was so close to like saying my social and it's like two seconds but like let's do that real quick hey jacob what are the last two digits of your phone last four digits of your phone number eight five seven seven see that's like two that's like and so i was just yeah i was like uh okay and i said it and he's like, and so I was just, yeah, I was like, uh, okay. And I said it and he's like, good job. And he's like, and then he asked me, he's like, what universe did you attend a university? I said, yes, I did. He's like, which one?

I said, Kansas state. And he's like going like this, like, kind of like, give me more. Go on. And you're like, let's go wildcats. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That's great. That's a great, I like, like, come on, give me more.

It's like okay more glory into yeah i was in more hall i lived in more hall my freshman year uh yeah like oh yeah prove your worth nobody's like kansas state and i was like, university. He's like, very good. They need you to say university. So those are the two questions I needed to answer the first time got through. That's how Megan's was. Anything they asked her was available on Facebook. It was like, what's your mom's birthday? Okay, brother that. Okay. I'll get to the second part. Okay. Coming back from Austin. I'll tell you all about Austin later, but coming back from Austin, I felt fine. You know, I was like, this is the easiest thing ever.

They call some guy. Some guy thinks he can stump the big daddy over here. No way. And so I go through and play dumb again, just in case. Austin has the same scanners. You can't get past them. They're there for a reason. And so get pulled over.

This guy's not as nice. This guy is ready. This guy's not as nice. This guy is ready. Like this guy's acting like I am a T word. This is Austin versus Kansas City right here. But it is. Exactly right. Yeah. Everyone thinks that, you know, Texas is so nice, but Austin, you know, not so much.

This guy's looking to stump me. I feel like he's excited to like just read through me and figure out that I'm a drug dealer or something. Okay. Okay. And so like you got a wife with two passports or something. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. What's a, yeah. Yeah. That's second pass for your wife has, what's that about? Jason Bourne situation. Maiden Hayden going on.

And why, why does your daughter have a passport? Is she, is she a mule of some sort? And so, Oh, go ahead. You ever pooped a balloon?

What are you implying? So anyway, this guy, you know, does the same thing and he calls the national thing and he goes you ever done this before like he like like fat figure out something new i was like yeah i had to do this on saturday whenever i flew here i still don't have my wallet yeah um he's like huh and he goes you could tell he was like listening to something on the other line he goes just letting you, this is not a guarantee. And at that point is when I actually got nervous.

You're like, okay, this guy's not quite a bad for me. Like this is not, this is not looking good. Like, and so the first question he asks, I think it's the first question. I'm so embarrassed to even say this. I hyped up my mom so much last week, you know, has, has like a game changer in my life. I have said it a million times this podcast. I'll say it one more time. I am truly, truly bad with dates. Okay. So they go, uh, name one of your immediate relatives. First thing that pops in my head, Georgie and Ellis.

I said, yeah, Georgie and Ellis. You didn't hesitate. You did good with that one. I knew it right away. I was like, that's my mom. I guarantee that's my mom. And they go, okay, what's her date of birth? crap oh no i'm so bad at this stuff dude i don't know why but i think like i know my sister and my mom both are like the in the 20s like one of them september 23rd one was april 27th i think maybe it's april 23rd september 27th i and so i was like uh well you don't even know the month you just know it's in the 20s i know my mom is his month is september and in the 20s my sister jul You just know it's in the 20s. I know my mom's month is September and in the 20s. My sister, Julie, is April and in the 20s.

Okay. But one of them is 27th, one of them is 23rd. Okay. And so I go, okay, September 23rd for my mom. And they go, what year? I have no idea. You don't know that? No.

Really? And they're like, do the math. And I pull out my phone. They're like, you can't pull out your phone. You got to do it by- It's not open book. It's not open book and this is when this is when like i started getting flush i'm like i'm like i'm getting kicked out of the airport i'm gonna have to and how am i supposed to get home i'm not gonna be able to rent a car like i'm not driving home what am i supposed

to at this point i was like i don't know ah i'm gonna i don't know because it's not like i can just come back here and try again tomorrow so what what'd you do? I just guessed, dude. I was like 1955 and they're like, okay, 1955. Didn't confirm. I still need to talk to my mom about like, mom, what's your, what's your birthday? And I'm so sorry, mom. I hope you know, I love you so much. I'm just so bad with that stuff. It's for whatever reason, if it's a low date, like I know my dad's December 3rd. I know my sister Dana's February 2nd. No idea when your birth birth yours is in the top middle kind of thing right august 18th maybe kind of august 23rd closer kind of august 22nd 27th see we'll never i'll never remember that it's too high it is it is too high for me um i'm done with that

okay so uh anyway then he asked me like uh can you tell me somebody who lives in the same house as you? I knew right away. Cause like whenever I said Georgia and Ellis and they asked the date of birth, I was like, I should have said Catherine. Why did I say Catherine? And so I was like, right away, it was like Catherine Ellis. Yeah. And then he starts marking stuff off on a piece of paper.

He's like, all right, you're good. He's like, FYI, you will never get to do this again. I was like, whoa. And then he took my luggage through security. Like I got to like, yeah, whatever. Supersede everybody in line, bypass, bypass. And then he scanned that bad boy. Like no one's ever scanned my, my luggage before he got in there. And it was the end of the trip, AKA I just threw all of my dirty clothes in. Yeah. And so, I mean, kind of halfway inside

out underwear, just getting like probed by this thing. It was like this, like, I don't even know how to describe it. It was like this, almost like a selfie stick. And he was just shoving it in everywhere. He could find your clothes into my clothes. And did he, uh, did he shove the selfie stick into the clothes that you were currently wearing? Oh yeah. Yeah. He got integrated. He, he integrated himself big time. I mean, in ways that I didn't even know were possible. Like, I mean, there's a, there's a right angle function on that bad boy. Hello. I'm just kidding. Uh, but the funny thing, there's another little story is that when I did get to Austin the first time, like when I flew in there, I went and looked at my luggage and I had accidentally packed like six pairs of pants

and like three shirts. I'm like, what, why did I, cause I was in a hurry packing. So I didn't realize what I had packed the night before or whatever. And so I went to Patagonia like the next day cause it was right down the street and I bought a few things, didn't end up wearing them, but had them. And so my suitcase was stuffed. Okay. And so him getting everything out, he had such a hard time getting it back in. And I'm bad.

This guy's like, this guy's such a fool. So anyway, all to say, I might be more irresponsible than I want to admit. Isn't it so interesting how much that like they know about us or just like, it's interesting that someone specifically has all this information like out in front of them that they can just choose to quiz you on. Yeah. That's what I want. I want there to be more just rapid fire quizzing. I would do that on a security thing every time. Yeah. Instead of like tsa pre-check i'd like to pay for like tsa pre-test yes and like i get to go through it like depending

on how well i do it's the like amount of bonuses i get like how quickly you can get through yeah like you got a 94 so you can get to leave your shoes on you don't have to take your laptop out you do have to remove your belt let's do some tsa pre-test real quick just like anything about your own life okay jake who was your fourth grade teacher?

Like that is so tough. I think it was right before I moved to Dallas. It was right before I. Okay, let me check my calendar for that month. Hold on, hold on. I knew I was moved to dallas it was right before i okay let me check my calendar for that month hold on hold on dallas i knew i was gonna be on okay okay okay i'm gonna go may of 2017 lock it in lock it in lock it in you're gonna have to go through the metal detector still brother no yeah tsa pre-test do you want to get TSA pretested?

That I was really popular on MySpace back in the day. It was a band that I was in. Um, I was with this guy named Edward Sheeran and he got really popular and I kind of got left out in the dust. Gotcha. But honestly, we're equal in talent just look me up okay that was a little too much information going forward i only need just just exactly what okay hey you getting a call yeah jake samplers i i think this is this is a mistake he's trying to facetime me i'm not gonna answer okay okay okay i mean i would hope not in the middle of your tsa pre-test yeah that'd be yeah phones off phones in your pocket. What day did you propose to your wife?

Do you need a date or do you need a day of the week? What date? What is the date in which you proposed to your wife, Katherine Hanson Ellis? August 6th, 2013. Okay. That's great. I don't know if that's positively true, but here's a fun fact about that is that I got a lock like made to put on the like fence that we, that I engaged, I proposed to her

near and I, they actually put the wrong date on the lock. Like they engraved it. And so I had to go back and be like, you did this wrong. Can you do it again, please? Bambos. And I think it was August 4th originally. And I changed it to August 6th. Okay.

Okay. So on the, on the lock, there's like a four and then six over so interesting catherine probably that's wrong date but you gotta have confidence yeah you didn't hesitate okay um what brand of milk did you grow up with um the government knows this it's part of the tsa pre-ta you get this right and you and you actually get to upgrade seats i think this is a difficult one i don't ah i need a brand man that's what you do that's what this guy would do his name was roger i need i need a date i need a year man i need i really need a brand please anderson erickson no it's not it wasn't a famous painter i need a brand of milk please i feel like we were always store brand man whether it was dylan's or walmart but i don't know what that is i need a brand uh dillmart sounds like your mom yeah hey welcome to dillmart listen you little dillmart hey what were we saying yesterday?

She was, she was a heavyset. She had short blonde hair. Heavyset's a great adjective. I love that. My dad loves saying heavyset.

Yeah. So anyway, she was heavyset and blonde hair. And the crazy thing about her was that she played baritone in the Kansas city symphony. That's actually true. Okay. I didn't know what was Steve Triplett and what was... 11th and 12th grade, I remember it was was a guy named mr albie and he was awesome he talked like this no that sounds indian he talked how do you talk mr pack mr pack did very well today i don't know scott would have a good impersonation of him uh anyway but he loved the office and so we like did like office pranks to him like we put his stapler in jail fun uh one time we put somebody's cell phone in the ceiling eventually he got kind of tired of him uh last question bradford uh what year was your dad born in 1953 i think if my mom's

Anything you guys do is so great.

And, you know, I'll catch him every once in a week hey you gotta stop you gotta stop and he just like very innocently doesn't understand that the picking of the nose is the thing that's gross and he just goes i was just picking a booger i'm like yeah exactly i wasn't doing anything weird i was just

picking a booger it's so funny man he's like getting a little more articulate these days and it's like it's it's kind of sad because it's like, Oh man, I miss those like kind of funny things you're saying, but it's also like, he's getting funnier and funnier every day. So just picking a booger. Um, when you asked me the last time I went to the dentist,

I told you, I said, yeah, I'm writing a, uh, trying to write a standup bit on this. Um, let me throw a few things out to you,

Brad. What are you resonating with? Because I want to talk about how, yeah, the last time I went to the dentist really was like years and years ago because I was a part of this program and I'm somewhat fabricating this, but it's somewhat true because my friend Anderson was a UMKC dental student. So he could give dental work for free. I experienced this program as well. Okay. Yeah. Because I think you were supposed to be like the final project or whatever.

Do you remember this? The magnum opus. Yeah. And then you weren't able to. I wasn't like, I didn't qualify. Yeah. So then I had to like go in for a screen yeah so i've been down in the dungeon dude yeah yeah it's like a funny premise i don't think i'll set it up that way that's just like a little wordy and not as funny but i think i want to talk about like hey this they you know i was working in youth ministry and how much money and i heard about this program that lets you use first year dental students for free i think that's the premise that sets it up like i and then just like these funny things like um you know i went in august i don't know if you know anything about the american education system but that is it's right when school starts like i went on syllabus week you yeah you went you were the

rubric yeah like you see how bloody this is that is an f yeah i don't know what they're teaching them like during syllabus week of dental school how to hold a toothbrush i guess it's just the basics and i went so these are molars the thing you're about to take out is called a molar yeah um and yeah it's like i don't know what kind of skills i thought they were going to have like i they haven't been trained anything i was just hoping they had a knack for root canals just like yeah just always had a knack for these yeah i've always wanted to do one can't teach it actually i just grew up with it um yeah it's just something you're born with yeah oh you can't teach a root canal some people have it some people don't i wrote down um using a first year dental student to work on your teeth is like

needing work done on your car and going to a first year dental student that's a great joke like you like that it's just like very like plainly like yeah not quite like you think it's gonna yeah like it was some cool comparison yeah yeah and then this cracks me up but i'm not sure how to like do it exactly but like the idea of like let's say i'm i'm talking to someone in the waiting room and i'm kind of getting sketched out uh by like the clientele and yeah um anyway and like a guy in the waiting room has a lisp and i start to get nervous like did they do this to you like something about me not like that that could somehow affect that's your speech habits oh yeah you got to figure out like a really funny thing that the list guy said yeah he says something to me and like say that again and he's like i think

this guy's a lisp yeah did they do this to you we got a lisp over here did you talk like this like how long you been doing this program so no seriously it's like like super legit it saved me quite a bit quite a bit of pathos well you're from mexico too you look american that's good i like that thanks just jot stuff down yeah how what does that look like like did you just make that up randomly one day or are you working pretty consciously on stand-up right now um i'm going through a lot of or doing a lot of writing right now i think yeah i've written more the last two months than i've ever written on stand-up really yeah i'm really fired up till i get to practice some of this stuff i was thinking about doing something on patreon like calling it open mic night and but there's almost

no way for it to go even somewhat okay just like someone delivering stand-up jokes to an empty room to an empty camera i disagree why i mean why why wouldn't it go okay like just because you're not getting the instant gratification but i think people would still be able to like give you advice on it yeah i just think stand-up has a certain way it's like meant to be consumed and if it's consumed by like one guy with no laughter everything seems not that funny when like let's get a laugh track in there then i could do that yeah yeah the bad thing yeah so anyway just excited really excited i writing a bit about my first time using a bidet because i talked about that the podcast is like that should definitely be like a bit like even the fact that that dial on one side it says nozzle cleanser the other side says women like that's such a great i don't have to make anything up

like such a great setup yeah and like the bid is going to be that i have like a liberal toilet because it's like taking a stance on like gender fluidity it's like wow i got a conservative yeah fluidity i got a conservative house but a you know democrat toilet and then just the jokes you can make from that like it doesn't you know flush your poop but cancels it and different stuff so that's good anyway we don't need to talk about any of that, but I really I'm going to push back again. I think you should do it. If people see on Patreon, let me know. Let us know.

Yeah. Yeah. There's probably still like, do you follow that guy? It's your Matt Buschel. He's always got like the AirPods and actually got sponsored by Bose recently. He's always got he's just walking down the street in New York City and he's just doing like probably like a 60 second stand up bit, but it doesn't seem like it. OK, he's really figured out a way to like master this.

No, I haven't watched the man. Interesting. I don't know if he's a comedian. He just like talks about like, he just rants very quietly and very calmly about an issue for like, huh? 60 seconds while walking down the street.

Okay. So people know I'm talking about. Yeah. Maybe I could do something like that. That sounds really funny. I would, I would watch that too. I'd watch anything you do,

Jacob. Thanks. I think that's fun. Thank you. A few fun things about my flight besides the thing i already talked about uh for the first i think i may be converted to what you already are and that's a window seat person yeah i'm all window um talk to me about why you're a window guy what's the main attraction for you it's cozier yes i know i'm not going to go to the bathroom so i don't be interrupted by anyone else going to the bathroom okay i don't have to worry about my leg ever falling out into the aisle

while i'm asleep because i will be asleep the whole time because you'll hit the you'll hit the car potentially um which they do not like me calling them a card girl i'm like i'm a golfer and they're like that doesn't sir my name's clint like well cart girl and then other really important thing it's only important if you're not in charge of it is the window. Yeah. I've been just screwed over so many times blinded by it. Yeah. I've sit in middle, sit in aisle and someone who's just never seen the sun before decides, Hey, I'd like to take a look at this for the next three hours. And it is so bright in there. So I love being in control of the window. I make or break a flight. That's fair. And I, I tried to be cognizant of that and like shut the window, but the first like 10 10 minutes this has never happened to me i knew where we were when we were flying like i could track where we

were in kansas city and it was so exciting kansas city that is fun little geoguess review it like we were so close to flying over my house really we were on a flight path here like you can see airplanes all the time and so like i was like i think we're gonna go over our house wow uh we went like just west of here mill valley high school if you know like k7 and like kirsten taught there there you go fun fact you know all about mill valley i would say all that i mean tell us the mascot and okay they're falcons they're falcons you think well not falcons oh just the falcons come on falx falcon for falx. Is that too far? Anyway.

Yeah, it was so exciting. I was like a little kid. Like I was giddy. I was like, there's the NASCAR track, you know? Oh, there's Cabela's. Cabela's looks so tiny from up here. And I was like, if we go over my house, I'm going to take a picture. And Hattie and Bo are going to think it's the coolest thing ever.

And we didn't quite do it, but I will live for that experience. If I'm ever flying out of Kansas City, I'm going to be window from now on. I was talking somewhere, maybe it was on Crack to Payday or something. I wanted the idea. We've seen glass bottom boats. Give me a glass bottom airplane. Let me look out the bottom of it. How fun would that be?

I know where the cargo goes. That goes on top or something. We have to re-engineer an airplane. But being able to see like the whole thing. Okay. Is a window. Would you then also have options to shut it? So that, because you're worried about the sunlight.

If you're taking. That seems like it'd be a pretty bright. If you're paying the money to take a glass airplane, you're not sleeping through it. So you think it's like a different. It's a luxury. It's like a different kind of airplane option. It's not like every airplane is glass bottom. It's not every man's.

Glass bottom boys. No, this is a very special thing. That's pretty fun. I love the window seat. I love that, dude. Yeah. Fun. Well, I have lots of random things,

but tell me more about your week. Let's see. I booked some flights. I booked some window seats. I finally booked the honeymoon. Okay. And the blinks have been changed from what i blinked at you last time yeah because did you end up doing the tpc oh yeah i did kind of tell you about that

yeah basically long story short we don't get into it too much but i was planning on missing four stand-up comedy dates for the sake of the honeymoon uh mood swings manager manager joe gilland also when you were talking about passport i was like oh yeah my passport is expired honeymoon gonna need it i remember joe gilland's like hey i got a passport guy for you which is a little sketchy but it could come in handy wouldn't hate knowing that guy's name joe i'll order three yeah i'll get an id guy too one for my winter coat and one for my house what does that even mean a passport i know it's fascinating because i guess february like yeah you you should be able to get one in a normal amount of time like you could just go to the post office right for a passport

is that where you go i think that's one of the options well maybe i'll go or maybe just go to the passport guy i like the idea go to the passport guy just for the experience let's see what passport guy can do you're gonna have to like fly to dallas and he just like takes you to a post office yeah this is tom they do it different down here yeah yeah anyway joe hits me up it's like hey You're going to have to like fly to Dallas and he just like takes you to a post office. Yeah. This is Tom. They do it different down here. Yeah. Anyway, Joe hits me up.

It's like, hey, I saw you guys tour dates. And so you guys were touring in Jacksonville. I got you and Trey a tee time for four on TPC Sawgrass, which is like the third worst course in the world, right? Like no one really wants to go there. It's actually one of the best. No way. You would think it's one of the worst like tiger woods has never played there though right that's the thing brad um yeah i mean you guys know i'm pretty new to golf but from what i know i mean i think it's definitely a top five course it might be like the maybe the second nicest behind like the masters like augusta national i'll tell you what google says right now um

and so anyway very nice course and not only is it just like this great opportunity to get content, but the way Joe was kind of explaining it is like, this is such a great opportunity. Like you've got a tea time booked for four of you. This is an incredible collab moment. Like what YouTube golfer out there in the world is not going to say no to filming a TPC Sawgrass

with you guys. Not going to say no. Yeah. So you could probably go and get whoever you want. And so I was like, man, that could be really fun. And then the more I whoever you want and so i was like man that could be really fun and then the more i was thinking about it i was like well if i did do those four stand-up comedy days i mean that could definitely help pay for the honeymoon yeah and also flying out of like all those tour dates are in florida which is quicker easier cheaper

probably yeah it's everything about it so i'm like all right this is interesting and i hadn't booked the honeymoon yet and so i'm like getting ready to like prepare this like pitch for rachel of like all right can we change the honeymoon and i was like four words into it she's like yeah it's great i was like you don't want to hear about the other things i've like rehearsed in my mind she's like no we can do whatever i was there for for that conversation oh yeah you kind of were i was like oh gosh okay i hope i hope that she says yes to this or yeah i was like it was not awkward at all but it could have definitely been like yeah i was like oh gosh okay i hope i hope that she says yes to this or yeah i was like it was not awkward at all but it could have definitely been like yeah i was like we can talk about this

later but joe mentioned this that's great i know yeah i was like we can talk about this later and then you guys are going for it yeah she's like oh yeah that's totally fine and she was like already excited she's like when i can like fly into tampa the last day because like my grandma grandma has like a place there and like i could go to your show in tampa and we could leave from the honeymoon there i'm like this is awesome. You were awesome. This is so easy. This is so great.

So that's gonna be a fun thing. But it was so I so she agreed to do the new honeymoon dates, yada, yada. And and while so you guys probably saw the YouTube version of last Monday's podcast did not come out on time. Nightmare scenario. I'm in Iowa. No Wi-Fi. Justin is just ripping gigs across the country. He's in an arena with no Wi-Fi.

We call on the hands of some of our Gene Schwartz editors. Ross comes to the rescue. He's having all these trouble. Yeah. Rescuing us from this. And so I'm just like staying up, waiting to hear back from Ross. Staying up, staying up. Get the whole honeymoon booked.

Very productive. Have enough Wi-Fi for honeymoon, but not, staying up, get the whole honeymoon booked. Very productive. Have enough Wi-Fi for honeymoon, but not enough Wi-Fi. I could do that. Yeah. Couldn't upload an hour and a half long video. But yeah, anyway, it was like, it was weird to booking it though. Like I would book my flight and then I would go to book Rachel's flight and it like went up like 70 bucks.

And I was like, well, just immediately. Why weren't you booking both at the same time? Because can you do that what do you mean i don't know i feel like you can like check the two people are flying to the one i mean i feel like i look for that like on american airlines i like look to like add a passenger to be fair i'm usually southwest so maybe maybe american just wants to do one at a time like for some yeah i like tried and could have financed like oh i'll just do these separate and so anyway the flight goes up there well the same night i've booked the resort i've booked all these flights um i guess i maxed out my credit card but i didn't know that and so baller status rachel's you need me you

should have called me you're my guy and so i find out that my card got declined just on the very last purchase of the night, which was Rachel's flight to the spot. Okay. And they're like, we're only going to hold this for you for 24 hours. I'm like, oh, what if I don't get this in time? So I go look at the final spot on the plane. Yes. And so then I go look at it and it says that they're still offering one seat online, but

now the price is like doubled again. I'm like, oh my gosh. Because, because you're trying to buy it so many times and so it's like probably just thinks like there's a high demand for this bad boy yeah doubled yeah so you had to pay it no because i paid with a different credit card okay in time and so nice it was all good but um it's fun it's exciting to have all that booked and my new thing now because rachel doesn't know where we're going or anything my new bit is to keep acting like i accidentally like release it.

Like in Tampa will be convenient because that's so close to Jamaica. Oh, classic. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know why I'm worried about my honeymoon. We're only going to Hawaii. Oh no. You didn't hear that.

Did you? Yeah. I was, I was drinking one of those smoothies, you know, Bahama. Oh no. Random question. you yeah i i was i was drinking uh one of those smoothies you know bahama oh no random question what side of the road do they drive on in south half that's not about to honey that's that's just because i'm like interested in watching a documentary and i want to like know if it's like being mirrored on there or if it's like a true like camera am i watching like a weird like downloaded like being mirrored on there or if it's like a true like camera am i watching like a weird like downloaded like pirated version where they mirror it i see nobody in my 3d glasses

for the documentary about dave matthews so uh that's great anyway whatever that's all honeymoon stuff it's fine it's dandy um a big thing going on in the lives of mainly Rachel in Kansas City is something is happening in the water in Kansas City. Something in the water. That's right. That sounds like a cool, like, you know, kind of like Mississippi folky, like acoustic rock song. We got something in the water. Something happened in East Ohio. The trains are wreckinging Trains are wrecking

We don't know what to do But we drink that H2O There is something in the water Y'all know what to do What's the next part I don't know and then my girl is falling over

but I thought that was just cause she was infatuated with me but then I learned that there's something something in the water it's becoming rolling on the river There's something, something, something in the water. It's becoming rolling on the river a little bit. Something, something, something in the water.

Yeah, that could easily be a song. What, duh, duh, duh, what, duh, duh, what, what, duh. Yeah, that's great. I was going to say, what is the chemical that spilled to try to work that into the song um yeah it just says chemical whatever moment's over moment's over anyway okay is it because there's something in the water tell me right where you look oh vinyl chloride there it is there is vinyl chloride in the water they really don't like telling you this every everywhere just hazardous oh butyl acrylic

anyway there is something in the water here in kansas city something's going on two days ago rachel says hey this water like smells weird we just got a bunch of new glasses i was like maybe that's it then the glasses do make a big difference for that stuff i was like it could be yeah she's like yeah we don't know um another day goes by uh rachel tests the water each of our different sinks each of i keep I keep saying our, I don't live. It's weird though. Cause I work here and I own the house, but I don't, I just want to say our, I don't live here.

Yeah. That's fair. Like, yeah. Preface that. But then also you can say our, but it does feel like our house. Okay. Those are the, were those glasses gifted to you by a ghosty? Could be from Ohio too.

Yeah. But I'm just saying like, actually like actually no i think they came from my parents oh they didn't get off the gift registry on target or cratenborough from the ghosties yeah i'm not sure um and so but those were from your parents as a gift to both of you therefore those are your glasses our glasses our house what's your glasses is rachel's glasses that's right if you guys ever like break off your engagement, God forbid, you would get half those glasses. We talked and we would.

Yes. There were, that's part of it. We'd each have a monocle of glass. Half glass. Yeah. We tried out different spouts in the house, different glasses and all. It smells weird. It tastes weird.

Rachel goes into the city. Rachel goes into substitute teaching. Into the city. Yeah. The bustling city. Rachel goes into substitute teaching to the city, the bustling city. She exits the house. Um, but no, Rachel's substitute teaching. And in there, she notices that even the water in the school tastes weird, smells weird. Everywhere she goes, her coffee tastes weird, smells weird. Other people are talking about coffee.

Rachel kept describing it as chalky. The woman she works with said, Hey, does your water seem chalky to you? She... It's the exact word. Unprovoked chalky? Said the same word. And then we saw Shawnee Mission School District advised no teachers, no faculty, no kids, no staff to drink the water because something's happening.

Because there's something in the water. So... Something chalky in the water. It's chalky in the water it's chalky it's stinky it's chalky and it's stinky and it doesn't really taste good there's something something in the water yeah so it was cool like rachel like cracked the case rachel was earlier than this and she was like can you try this because like i am weird with my nose and with water i feel like i like it a certain way so maybe it's just me i was like no this is chalky water nose and with water. I feel like I like it a certain way. So maybe it's just me. I was like, no, this is chalky water.

Okay. And last night, so we hung out with you guys last night and I heard all this and I was skeptical. I wanted to not believe it so badly. I wasn't planning on believing it either. Ladies and gentlemen, there's something in the water. There's something in the water. Okay. Yeah.

I mean, school districts are telling their kids not to drink the water. That was crazy. You, you found that out while we were there. Like after I drank it, like, cause I was still like, ah, whatever. This is just in our heads a little bit or like, whatever. It's not that big of a deal, but then it's like, don't even drink it. Yeah. That's why, like, it's one thing to be like, oh, there's some weird mineral in here because you know, badgers were, you know, having a weird time and they ate something to, to, you know, whatever. Official report from, uh, you know, everyone and they ate something to to you know whatever official report from uh you

know well everyone knows that february is like badger thanksgiving and so it's just they have different diets and they have different feasts and so the um the entrails from the entrails the excrements from badgers during that time is just different and it causes something weird in the water you want to go on a diet change the badgers diet because what the badgers eat we we've always said that hey yeah it's not just me it's what i'm eating is eating yeah and the badgers sometimes you know scare those things so so figure that out so to be careful drinking the water can't say if you google or if you like twitter search like kansas city water everyone's talking about it like do they have lots of like explanations like what's going on a lot of people are saying like drinking the water in Kansas City. If you Google or if you like Twitter search like Kansas City water, everyone's talking about it. Do they have lots of like explanations? Like what's going on?

No, a lot of people are saying like the water companies are like, this is normal. This is fine. No problem. Once a year, we always tell the schools not to drink the water. Everyone knows it's Badger Feast. Badger Feast weekend. Hey, the badgers are ovulating. Chill out.

All right. It's not that big a deal. Badgers. It's best just to let them finish. Let them finish. And you can drink it later. All right. It's not that big a deal. Let them. Badgers. It's best just to let them finish. Let them finish. And then you drink it later. All right. Get a Gatorade.

Let's go on Twitter and have some conspiracy. Let's like make up some conspiracies for this thing real fast. Because a lot of people are going to think it's a train wreck. It's not. It's not. It's not that Ohio thing. No. What have you heard?

I have some rumblings, but like let let's, let's hear what you've heard first. Right. So I've heard there has been a lot more males using electric razors recently. Yes. And that, uh, specifically Gillette, I think like the mock ones and the mocks, what would you call it? Just the, the excess, the, the, um, the stubble, the stubble gets, it gets in the air and it pollutes from the top down we've been saying there's something in the water there's stub thing in the water is what i think everyone

else is saying hey there's something in the water you don't think you say fast enough you you think we're hearing there is a stopping in the water stubble okay that's what i heard it's a stubble because stubble creates, that's how you make chalk. I think. It's part of it. Okay. Um, I've just heard like people are doing this weird thing. It's called a half shaking. And so it's where you go. Like people are still like, Hey, I can't, I can't get over my addiction for milkshakes. And so what I'm doing, it's like a trend on Tik TOK, I think okay is they're they're still getting their milkshakes but they're only drinking half of them okay and then they're throwing the rest in the trash they're not they're not just like disposing it

on the sidewalk where ants and you know like vermin badgers will you know lick that up and so there's a lot of liquid in the trash these days and it's like milky liquid and think about what's another word for milky liquid yeah there's talking in the water there's half shaking in the water so yeah it's just it's just like uh rotten milkshake water i think brad you heard of the butterfly effect yes i but explain to me what that means exactly so basically it's saying like just the the flap of one monarch monarch butterfly yes can affect the outcome of the world series of the world of of the 1998 world series when butterfly effect took place um well anyway as you guys know probably know that's why angels in the outfield he's doing this he's he's being the butterfly effect it could happen flap your wings

the original script for the rookie when uh she actually tells her son to float it the original script of the year rookie there sorry yeah rookie of the year she actually says flap it flap it flap it oh you remember the bad guy in that scene sorry we're getting so off topic here he goes this, this one's for mommy. For mommy. Justin put that in. Just that clip. Because I am close.

I saw him just like that. This one's for mommy. Bad guys were so good. They were cast so well in every show and every movie ever. Biff. They were so bad. What's that? Back to the Future Biff?

Is that his name? Biff? Oh his name oh yeah yeah yeah another guy that can't be really hateable bad guy no way is biff running a company no he's a famous bad guy it's just guys you genuinely hated i mean scar and lion king i hated scar scar i was a bad guy it was a good call to make him like a dark tiger like he was just scary and like yeah yeah he was he was pretty bad i'm trying i'm blanking right now on bad guys but there are some bad ones out there uh home alone you think he's a bad guy the shoveler the whole time oh that got you yeah yeah they did a good job making him seem evil

yeah give me some more i i'm blanking on him um sid and toy story sid like genuinely like scares me to this day he He was sadistic. Sadistic. Sadistic. That guy grew up and paid for feet pictures. I'm borderline not... I think we have shown that to Hattie, but I'm a little bit nervous showing her Toy Story because I think that's genuine scary. Yeah.

Did you ever watch Passion of the Christ? Yeah. Those guys. Just evil all around. Evil's in their name. that's why they're the devil yeah anyway lots of lots of bad guys what are we talking about something in the water yeah i just thought to search i never searched reddit so i went the kansas city subreddit and then searched water and um people are talking a friend described it as almost like tasting baking soda chalky no baking soda okay

so what kind of soda is usually used for baking is it pepsi or coke dr thun doctor yeah mellow yeah which is gonna be so hard when we don't have any coke when we go to jamaica do they sell dr pepper in the dominica shoot shoot rachel laughed like the first two times and i think now she's like all right really i think that's like i feel like that's her joke that you kind of inherited i feel like she does that yeah like she does this one a lot no she she's been great uh but someone else said i called water one happens to be uh the shawnee kind of water people you pay water one i do they bring your water yep they said there was

an odor that got through the system on monday so they changed the treatment to fix the issue likely story so if yeah it's either you're gonna it's gonna taste weird or it's gonna taste weird like it feels like there's like a yeah so there's something in the water then they had to put something in it to replace the odor or something in the water you don't think you don't think it's like i don't know oh here's oh sorry keep going like 9-11 or like watergate is that what watergate is wait hold on a second. Is that what they call it there? Watergate.

How do you think the odor got through? Where did it get through? Open the gate. Watergate, dude. Someone at Water 1 opened the gate. There's no way the odor just like gets in where? Where else does an odor get in except for a gate? Hey, you come in my backyard.

How are you getting in? Through the gate, dude. does an odor get in except for a gate hey you come in my backyard how are you getting in through the gate dude i that's a good good point think about it good point water gate water water whole bunch gate wad gate wad anybody called you gate wad yet because water gates already taken so've got to reverse the names. Gatewad. Doesn't hear your rain slicking, Gatewater?

You wouldn't call it Gatewad. This is a dear Shawnee Mission School District staff and families. We were dealing with an issue in the county. I'd say. We were informed that the issue is, yeah, countywide was caused by ice dams, badgers. Ice dams. You ever seen a badger in the Pacific, the tropical places? No.

They're always in the ice. Midwest ice. They're icy, icy people. Icy, furry creatures. Look them up. Look them up. It was caused by ice dams that impacted in intake pipes reed gates yeah that's the same as a gate that's that's what uh that's like fancy water

aquacologist version of gates impacted intake pipes on the missouri river river the what river water which i said missouri why do they call the missouri river it goes like way north and way south how does missouri get that uh name you think well i mean it is in missouri it's not like they just chose a random state no but it's also like in south dakota sure that's why i'm just curious like how is the same with mississippi like mississippi goes north of mississippi right yeah like it doesn't even really at least missouri river it starts uh no it ends in missouri it ends in missouri because then it goes into the mississippi okay that's fair that's fair that's fair if it has like an origin or something but i was gonna say even mississippi it dumps into louisiana right and then into the gulf i believe you i trust you

i don't know for sure i think water goes down yeah most places watergate watergate watergate anyway something's going on i do have i i have so many things from austin we can talk about them wednesday or another time one thing i do want to talk about is a new theory i have that has really nothing to do with austin except for it just was birthed in austin um so my friend tj was talking about uh the wmba okay the wmba is the women's national basketball association and apparently wmba players i don't know the whole story so maybe i'm butchering some of the details or whatever but from what i understand they're basically upset they're not getting paid more because obviously nba players get paid millions and millions of dollars wmba players

i don't believe get very much money. Are you looking it up? You fact check me on this? Yeah. But the kind of, then like the argument is like, you learn that the WNBA actually loses a lot of money per year. Once again, not really great on fact checking all this stuff. You can tell me what I got wrong,

but basically that's the idea that I have is like. The average WNBA salary is $100,000. Okay. and can you see how much the wmba makes or loses every year sure because yeah tj joked about like you guys are losing money every year therefore you should actually pay people back for this um they lose roughly 10 million dollars a year roughly 10 million dollars a year and that's why it went up yeah so then the conversation arose and i kind of had the the idea that i want to take to you jake and tell me you can either tell me what is genius about this idea what what holes i have how we can improve upon it um but basically i had the idea of uh a few

different things to just improve the wmba um number one is the best thing in basketball in my opinion is the slam dunk. Great. Right? Like no one says like, hey, that's a great idea. Everyone's like, no, that's a slam dunk because it's the best thing you can do. No one says like, Brad, I never thought of that. That's a total layup. Dude.

Oh, that's yeah. That is a sweet reverse layup, dude. Like there's no doubt. No, it's a slam dunk. Brad, maximizing our shrinks. That's a total eight foot jumper. Dude, that's like taking a charge on like a guy that's bigger than you that's already got four fouls. No, they say slam dunk. No, they say it's a slam dunk. Brad, maximizing our shrinks, that's a total eight foot jumper. Dude, that's like taking a charge on a guy that's bigger than you that's already got four fouls. No, they say slam dunk. No, they say it's a slam dunk. And so that's the first thing is that we need more slam dunks. I

had a few different ideas. Either one was like having mini trampolines on the court. Seems a little dangerous. Also, let's just bring back the full term slam dunk. I'm tired of hearing dunk contest. He dunked, windmill dunk,ahawk you know what slam dunk i think i think you and i have probably influenced the generation a little too much to shorten everything you know abbreviation yeah i think we need to go even further we need to go give me five on abbreviation give me five not like give me a high five in my hand every time you use it let's do this panthers right like let's all high five let's have a slam dunk of a day okay um so anyway the slam dunk needs to come back,

which means that the rims need to get lowered. Eight foot, eight foot rims. Great. Okay. That's first thing. Second thing is, and this is where I get really excited,

Jacob, because there's sponsorship opportunities. There's just entertainment value through the roof. Everyone that goes to that game, buys a ticket, has, has a seat and they have an opportunity. Two people per game get the opportunity to get plucked out of their seat.

Plucked meaning because it can be sponsored by Chick-fil-A, Raising Cane's, Zaxby's, whoever wants to do it. Zaxby's, pluck of the game. And two different people get plucked out of their seats and are now on the teams. One per each team. It could be, can you imagine? That's pretty fun. And you never know if you're going to get plucked and you never know if you're going to get plucked.

You never know if you're going to get plucked and you get plucked. And all of a sudden you're, you're having the opportunity. Here's a Jersey. You're number 24. And for the record, I do not think that the WNBA players are not skilled. They are very, very skilled basketball players. So I think there's two different opportunities. Either one, you just have an opportunity to just embarrass the heck out of yourself and everyone laughs at you. And that's entertaining. That makes SportsCenter.

Or B, you have the opportunity to yam on Lisa Leslie on the eight foot goal. Slam dunk. You slam dunked it. Guess what? That also makes it on SportsCenter. Because that would be amazing if you just threw one down in a girl's face. What do you think are the eligibility requirements of the potential pluckies? 18 to 65

yeah i think i think a wide range no no doesn't have to be good health okay okay you sign a waiver when you when you arrive that you are you are plucking without consequences eligible yes i'm pluck eligible no you have to pay more to not be pluck eligible because i don't want people to be you gotta pluck out yeah yeah exactly you have to be in like a no plucking section or something like this like no no you're over there you're unpluckable like you're that's where the grandmas of the players sit or something like the the you know diehard fans just want to watch it for the purity of the game no you got the plucking section over here yeah and i think even we've talked about this there needs to be a plucking reward system so it's like you know you get pluck points basically

like you get a 20 ticket and that's 20 pluck points, a hundred dollar ticket, a hundred pluck points. But then you can gain pluck points throughout the night. Yeah. Whether it's $5 pretzel, five pluck points, you know, maybe you get an app on your phone and the louder you scream into the app, the more ambience you bring, you get more pluck points for that.

Um, and by the end of it, you have more of a higher probability of getting plucked. And so you get plucked. You're, you're not only are you watching that game and excited to go to that game in person. When Scott Van Pelt brings that up on SportsCenter, I'm watching the plucks of the night. I want to see plucks of the night. I'm watching bad beats, bad plucks, you know, like all these different things. There's so many different, you know,

word plays you can pluck on, you know, like so many different things that obviously a little bit inappropriate for ghost runners, but Hey, you know, it's not, it's not above the Minnesota links, you know, they'll, they not above the minnesota links you know they'll they'll do all the plucks and so i mean what a fun opportunity to be like hey you want to go to the wmba game tonight like they're plucking fans you are bringing your basketball shoes yeah you're you you don't have to get ready if you stay ready exactly i think it'd be so like i would watch that yeah and i'm not trying to take anything away from women's basketball no i played against division two women's basketball players for four years and

they were division two even. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like they were so much more like athletic and stronger than me. Yeah. Even quicker than me. And K state,

they're like, dude, these girls are so much better than you would ever imagine. Yeah. We each had a Spaniard each of our schools. Didn't we? Oh yeah. Wow.

That's fun. Fun. Anyway. Yeah. They would destroy us. And that's what would be fun. Although occasionally you would get a, get a plucker who's like played division one basketball and he can have, you know, uncle drew kind of style where like, you're kind of sandbagging

looking like you're like kind of this ratty guy. And then you get out there and you, you know, take off the shirt or not shirt. No, we're keeping the shirt on, take off the warmup, like hoodie. And all of all of a sudden like oh this guy's yoked he's about to pluck yeah yeah so i yeah i think there's alpha males out there they're gonna be embarrassed all the time you know like some guido of a guy that just the situation gets out there and just gets the pluck dominated out of them that'd be fun i could see this being like like what the savannah bananas have done for baseball yes some like small wmba or like just women's basketball league needs to do this where it's like they travel around and they do

these like exhibition games where they play against like local i don't know do they have like a command or what was it um generals type team or something like the washington generals yeah i don't know so i don't have a competitive basketball game with the plucking. Cause it's, they lost $10 million this year. And so I think there's like 12 teams. And so that's, let's just say a million dollars per team that everyone, I think you could make that back real quick with the pluck rule. Tom Brady pluck rule, you know, who do we talk to? I don't know that Mr. WNBA, who's that again? Kamala Harris. Yes. Mr. WNBA is Kamala Harris. I thought. Yeah.

Okay. Anyway, thoughts on it. Do I, do I, am I, are there any holes? No.

Am I forgetting anything? That's a great idea. I want to see what people think in the comments. That's a great idea. They're going to be able to add onto this too. Okay. Yeah. Let us know what,

what we can add onto this pluck nation. We'll call it. Okay. Hey, and you can also nominate someone it's called uh go pluck yourself go pluck yourself yeah like i don't want to do it you should do it yeah maybe like yeah you pull your points there is like there's like a pluck pluck pool tax like you can't you can't just go one for one on points when you pull them together but that's such a great i already can't wait to edit that clip that's gotta be great how we fix the wba that is such a great idea um okay that's

probably that that's good for this episode we got a we got a big one coming wednesday that we want to gear up for and that'll be fun but let's let's still end this with our reviews of the week. I could start. Mine's from Frogs Da Best. Frogs Da Best. Frogs. Number one. Hey, Jacob Brad. I woke up this morning, Wednesday, and was not very happy. Maybe because I didn't have any bus and beans yet.

But my main problem was my dream. I had a dream I was at a Ghost Runners concert, which was awesome, by the way. And afterwards, there was a whole entire store filled with merch. There were probably 50 different t-shirts, sweatshirtirt designs there's also a pair of tie-dye sweats that i really wanted the end of my dream was me coming home not worrying about the hundreds of dollars i had spent putting on all my awesome merch and i woke up this morning and i thought that would wear my new merch to school only to find out it was a dream i was so sad and started walking out of my room uh when I heard a text notification go off

saying the new Ghost Hunters podcast episode. Nice. Oh, it is the episode like da-da-da-da changed my life. It's now available. I was no longer sad after that and you guys changed my day and possibly my week. I'm also currently looking at more merch to buy. Love you guys. Sweet.

That's fun. Thanks for having us in your dreams. That is great. Mine is a five-star review from Megan McKinney 12, Awkward Stranger Encounters, is what it's called. Jake and Brad's optimism and general zest for life has challenged me

to find the joy and positivity in my own life more often. Lately, I've made a conscious effort to be more friendly and interactive with strangers that I come into contact with. Living in the South, greeting strangers

is typically well-received and reciprocated, but it has also led me into a few awkward encounters. Today, I greeted an elderly man in a wheelchair and he responded by handing me his cell phone and asking me to stuff it down his sock for him. I'm a chronic people pleaser, so I had no choice but to say yes, but I walked away baffled, looking for hand sanitizer and questioning my life choices. This is a warning to my fellow introverts that letting yourself be influenced by Jake and

Brad may lead you into situations you aren't fully prepared for. That's almost like, remember when we were coming up with new acronyms, like STFU was stuffing the father's urn, stuffing the grandpa's sock. It's like a little close to it. Listen, man, go stuff your grandpa's sock. Hey, rain slicker, get your hands out of my socks. I love that. This weekend in Austin, like I don't think twice about it and I don't think I'm like overly friendly, but man, TJ just could not get over the fact that I just could not help myself to say hi or thank you to people or like talk to random, like strangers that I don't know. He's like,

you just can't help it. Can you? And I'm like, I guess, I guess I'm just, yeah, it's just fun to say like, have a good day. Or like the Austin marathon, Austin, not Boston was in Austin, Texas. And I, yeah, there were people that were like walking after done with the marathon. I was like, good job guys. Hey, did you guys run? Yeah, you did it. Like, and he's like, you just can't help yourself. And I'm like, no, because I'm so impressed by them. And I bet they're very proud of themselves. Plucking some kindness. I'm plucking it out of people. Sorry. Anyway. Yeah. Good times. Um, uh, yeah,

I do have lots of it. The, the Austin, uh, trip was just such a good, like family business oriented thing, a little more serious. And I kind of want to make a podcast specifically for it. So I might just do like a solo podcast sometime in the future and post it.

I'll let you guys know. It'd probably be on Patreon or something, but, um, yeah, it's just a really cool thing. Uh, a lot of cool things I'm learning from it that i would love to talk more about another time so speaking of

patreon real quick i know you started writing a blog is it finished is it scheduled anything the uh the response to the allegations uh no it's not okay i have i i had a i need to talk to you about it like yeah do you want to talk about it right now real quick not like anything like just tell them what you're talking about basically there was a post in our facebook group probably like two weeks ago now or something that was just like i am big ghosty love jake and brad um but it seems like brad does not like trey at all and i'm just like wondering what's going on with that what's going on there and most of the ghosties came to brad's defense in the comments or like it's just like a running joke or like i think you're just like reading into this too much and or is it or is it a running joke because or is it like a marathon of a running yeah i don't know

did you reply i don't remember did you say anything no because yeah i was like it was very uncomfortable for me and then like whatever not very uncomfortable but it was like ah just no like just whatever i don't need to talk about this or anything yeah but i have thought about writing a patreon post but i was like is that just too like whatever making what do they call it mountains out of mole hills kind of thing that's a good phrase yeah but who knows who knows how i feel about that fricker i'm just kidding rain slicker but the blog post what happened to girls gone mild is live on our patreon we got the bonus chiefs video i just uploaded today the uh um the unedited calf raises and kegels interview we said that'd be fun to do

a few more unedited clips if it's if it's easy enough yeah it should be pretty easy just like little things yeah yeah like things that didn't make the cut at all. Yeah. Or you guys just see a struggle through interviews. Yeah. Or you like, like, you know, we use like five seconds of something and like show the, like what before and after happened is always fun too. Yeah. I didn't, I don't think I showed any clips of the, uh, us interviewing those guys at the very top.

Oh yeah. Like at the very beginning. Yeah. There's plenty in there. Um, what else was going to say? Oh, and then the video of, we got another facebook post this week was about like hey i miss scott people are saying i don't even listen episodes of scott's not in them and people are like is scott even alive yeah scott doing okay like yeah something up with

brad and scott too yeah and brad was like with scott when all this is happening he's like yes everything's fine and we just record during the day yeah that's right yeah i made a video like kind of like my, I hope. And he did fine with it, but I was like, I really want him to be like, Hey, my name is Scott Peck and I am doing okay. Brad and I are best friends still. And I kind of look over the side of the camera. Like we are, we are doing very well.
