Zebra What a fun exercise We do that every episode before we start That's how we get loose Creative juices flowing baby As you can tell yeah um i'm not very good at that uh yeah i've actually never done that before but maybe it maybe it's a good exercise i don't know do you think you would have been as quick as you were if i uh didn't like

fumble over my letters your pause has definitely helped me get my word ready like when it comes after g h yeah you're right you're right you're good he's good guys you're good uh welcome back to episode well not welcome back to this episode welcome back welcome back to ghost runners this is episode 21 uh blackjack episode baby the vine episode 10 plus 9 21 remember that old vine no nah it's okay i was never i never had vine really vine got like vine came out whenever i was studying abroad in spain not that that means i couldn't download it but uh and just i i looked at some every once in a while but i never had an account or anything so knew very little about vine that's okay like but it's kind of nice because now i see vines that are like classics and i'm like for the

first time that's hilarious oh that's funny you guys seen that and you're like yeah dude like this this is gonna go viral i bet yeah this trey guy is funny like well it did five years ago yeah i uh if i would have been funny at all i think i would have easily blown up on vine i had it from the get-go i was like the opposite of you like i had the username jake what i remember before the uh um i had it before you could even use your front facing camera it was like in its beta stages you had to like flip your phone around even use vine to record yourself so i mean i had to been one of the first thousand people on the app like if i would have done anything noteworthy like i would have definitely blown up how'd you hear about it so like because you've we've had other experiences where you've

heard about apps at the beginning yeah winview uh oh winview we can talk about that later um i believe it was just a guy i followed on twitter was talking about it because you know one of the co-founders of twitter started vine and so i think it you know within the twitter community is how it got its first user base. And anyway, I checked it out, but obviously I had no idea what it was going to turn into. I didn't really put that much effort into it.

So you didn't realize it was going to grow into a nice fertile tree. Ah, yes. Yeah. It is crazy how many like big content creators out there, especially on YouTube, like got their start in following from Vine. Like so,

so many. It's crazy, which is really cool in following from Vine. Like so, so many. It's crazy, which is really cool. Yeah, it's interesting to watch somebody go from one platform to another and that's how they become famous on a different thing is starting at one thing. Because there's definitely some people – I mean it's like a business. If you don't adapt, then like there's some people who like you haven't heard of or seen since Vine because they like they didn't want to they're like well i have no dude i i'm only a viner yeah yeah i have a million followers

on vine i want to start over it's like well other people did and i'm vine loyal a uh what were we gonna come back to oh wind view baby yeah that was probably the easiest and most fun money we've ever made in our lives would you how would you compare it to the jokes you've written much easier and much more fun uh it took slightly longer you know yeah jokes you can whip up about 30 minutes and this took a three-hour football game but i was i was uh still gonna watch that football game regardless it was so fun basically i found this app somehow that it was uh it's like betting on, but it was just the prop bets. Brad, what are prop bets for our listeners? Prop bets are just like little bets along the way.

They're really famous around Super Bowl time because in Super Bowl, it's like meaningless prop bets. Don't even have an outcome on the game. What color is Bill Belichick's hoodie going to be? Red, blue, or yellow? Yeah. What color is the Gatorade going to be that they dump on the winning coach? Right.

How long is the national anthem? That one's really fun.atorade going to be that they dump on the winning coach? Right. How long is the national anthem? That one's really fun. Yeah. Over, under. Is it going to be over, under one minute, 27 seconds? And you're like, they're holding it out. And the home of the... Come on.

Come on. Wrap it up. Wrap it up. Come on. No. But they do it really fast. They're like, yes. We got it. No. But they do brave really fast. They're like, yes. We got it.

Anyway, so. So anyway, there's an app for this. So it would be like, you know, let's say it was the Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes is going to throw for more than 25 yards on this drive. And you easily, you can say like, yes, no. And then you can bet how much you wanted to bet. You know, say three to one odds on yes one to one odds on no you know so you have to make a lot of snap decisions and we made pretty good uh decisions throughout the whole thing but it was crazy how much we won because i don't think anybody else was playing it yeah

somehow you found the ad or something yeah i found this and i was like telling brad and peter and some people and i was like and i think like i think we win Real money and they're like what there's no way and I was like, yeah, I know You probably don't but like it says that we do and so yeah, we played it one week and You and I both were in the you know, top five of the world top three. I think I think the top two got money Yeah, it was like yeah, and we like looked at the other people's names like us usernames, and it was like, oh, those people work for Windview. Yeah, we went and looked them up on Facebook. Yeah. That's how easy it was to track these people down.

Yeah. And they worked at Windview. So we're like, wow, somehow I got in on this at the ground floor. And so, yeah, we won like hundreds of dollars watching Chiefs games. It was awesome. It was so awesome. It was like, this is the greatest thing ever. And so that lasted for like half a football

season yeah it was in bay well i think it started at the the playoffs and so it started oh that's the back season and then like a little bit the next season and then they got into like getting a little bit smarter and like now you have to win so many times to then win you get tokens you can cash in your tokens for coins and you cash in your coins for you know gold stars and then once you get 20 gold stars you can get a dollar and so yeah it's much harder to win money now but yeah that was that was a good time it was man when yeah we yeah it was so fun now it's like i don't know i do want to go i i like the idea of betting on sports in general yeah uh and you know las the raiders are getting or las vegas is getting the raiders next year yes so i think it'd be really fun to go to a chiefs raiders game in vegas and

then bet on it bet on the game and then watch your bet win and watch your team win at the same time like how fun would that be that would be cool that's a good watching patrick mahomes throw for that touchdown that you needed him to in order to win that bet and then you're also your team's gonna win because of it and then you take that money and you're in las vegas you go put it all on red 15 go chiefs black 15 actually but dang it okay that's not gonna work okay you just put it on red then true story one of my friends kyle cook cookie when he was here uh for the fancy football week in a few weeks back put it on black 15 because of patrick mahomes put five dollars down and won like i forget how much he went 85.

Yeah. Yeah. And then he went and bought a Patrick Mahomes Jersey with it was awesome. You got it. Like specially made to be black. Yeah. Like it's gotta be a black 15 Mahomes Jersey. Yeah.

Like an alternate Jersey. Was that the weekend of the Twitter grandma? Yes. Same weekend. I've been thinking about her. Yeah. 32,000 tweets. I stand by what I said. That's more impressive than 32,000 followers, I think. Oh, 100%. 32,000 tweets.

32,000, which is crazy. It makes you realize how many tweets are we reading? How many tweets have we read in our lifetime? How many sentences have I said in my lifetime? Has it been 32,000 sentences? Surely not. Maybe. I mean, I don't know. Off the podcast, we like are mute. This is the only time I speak. I save all of it for this. Right. I've been having trouble speaking lately. Just been noticing I've been slurring my words more. Really? I mean, not any big issues, but yeah, like there'll be a couple of times a day where I'm like, I wish I would have said that word right. I said remembering instead of remembering. Struggling through it. Yeah. Like, why did I not say that?

What happened to my lips? I blame everything on marriage. So I don't know if it's truly Catherine's fault, but ever since I've gotten married, I feel like I struggle a little bit with my words more because in our first few years of marriage, Catherine would interrupt me a lot, like halfway through my sentences. And so now I think I have like a little bit of like subconscious anxiety. Like apprehension. Yeah. Like, like, oh gosh, like if I don't get through this fast, she's going to either make fun of the way I said it or she's going to interrupt me because she thinks she knows what I'm trying to say. I gotta hurry. I gotta hurry and say this. And so then I just like stumble over my words. I'm like, just forget it. I'm not, I'm not talking. It's fine. Sometimes I listen back to our podcast and I can

tell I'm like rushing through a story or rushing through stuff. Cause also not because of you, but because of like, I don't know. I feel this pressure to like, we got to hurry and keep it fast paced, move on to the next segment. Why are we still talking about this? No one plays Winview. Move on Jake. No one does this. And no one probably cares. Cause it's a podcast, but I always noticed that I'm like, Jake, you could probably take your time more, but you know, I think everyone appreciates a nice fast-paced pod. Or just conversation in general.

Or fast-paced anything. People love things fast-paced. Love things fast. Fast-paced things. I love fast food. This is not poultry of the week because this is poultry of all the time. Slow talkers. It just kind of bugs me uh or quiet talkers

yeah but okay but i'm gonna say one thing at a time slow talkers to me it just says that like i don't care even about the information that i'm saying yeah you know if you talk slow it just there's no you know is there a way sorry go ahead no you're fine is there a way to have energy while being a slow talker it's so hard to pull off. Like you have to have a very good material. Like I feel like Steve Jobs sometimes was a pretty slow talker when he like did his presentations. But like the cadence of it. But it was like look at that massive iPhone they're calling an iPad.

Like that's really interesting. Like he'd be like the iPad is incredible. And it's like wow. You you really believe keep going. Yeah. Yeah. It just feels like there was no sense of urgency in someone who talks slow and I just have trouble, like, I don't know, not believing them, but like really getting into like a story they're telling, or I don't know if they're telling about something like even a life update. It's just like, are you excited about this? You're talking so slow. Yeah. You know, the job is a jobs, jobs going well. I would say, I mean, my wife and I are at a spot we've, we've realized where we truly couldn't be happier. It's like, I just don't believe you.

It doesn't seem like you couldn't be happier. You know, um, that third kid was just it was a huge godsend man i mean just what a blessing marriage has just been really uh just organic you know just not no gmos man yeah describing nothing added no herbicides just straight organic baby farm to table if you know what i mean i don't know what that means i have a hard time you don't know what that means yes you do you can figure it out no i was saying in the context of like my relationship's been real farm to table if you know what i mean just say if you know what i mean on anything and it's just like whoa hey hey we're a church come on that was like a who's lying to me game just like every now and then you just have to throw it you know what i mean at the end of it so good i have i have a frustration but it's a hypocritical

frustration because i've noticed myself doing it more lately too i get frustrated whenever i ask a pretty straightforward question and the answer is very long but then again i feel like i've started to do that to people like i've explained the answer before i actually give it like oh i do that all the time i I set up my response. All right, so you're going to be a little shocked at this at first, but just hear it out, and you'll see why I said it. I'm like, okay, I spoke for a while and haven't even answered the question yet. Right, like how long did it take you to get there? You know, we had a lot of traffic that we hit.

There was actually an accident here. Just tell me how long it took! So it took me about 35 minutes. It's like, okay, like the whole time I was just waiting for that. Rather than like, would it be better if I was just like, hey, yeah, it took 35 minutes. You know, we had a lot of traffic. Like I think that's better. Get the answer first.

Yeah. Kind of like in the Spanish language, Spanish dialect. You go straight for the noun. Don't mess around. The car, the red car, you don't say, or you say the car red. You don't say the red car. Because if I'm saying like the red, you don't say or you say the car red you don't say the red car because if i'm saying like the red fast beautiful it's like what what are we even talking about right now that is weird do we do that in english oh caro rojo anyway uh so yeah that's wind view for you i'm just kidding

so that is prop bets oh boy uh brad it's been what what have you been this week who do i got here what's going on uh we're just we're going great on the the talking um you know it's just been a long long work week i i've been getting it a lot more of a routine since the school year started. Even though I'm not in school, I lead a Bible study for high school boys. I help out with our youth group at church. I try to go to those Bible study kids' sports games. I imagine you treating Sporkle like your homework. Like telling Catherine, like, hey, should we really be going to that, you know, whatever, young adults thing? There's a new word ladder out.

Come on. Yeah, I have homework. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would really like to get it done tonight. I mean, I treat my work like – Brad, it's U.S. Capitals quiz. You don't have to do that. You'll be fine.

It's Hartford. You forget every time. It's Hartford and Montpelier. Anyway, but just getting a lot more of a routine. So I went to – the second week in a row, Hattie and I have done a little dinner date at Chick-fil-A. It's awesome. Chick-fil-A, as she calls it. And then afterwards, gone to the

soccer game, the high school boys soccer game. Chick-fil-A. I kind of like that. Chick-fil-A, yeah. Chick-fil-A. And both times, Catherine has packed Hattie some vegetables. I'll post a picture of Hattie on my Instagram or something. And I'll like the story of Hattie on like my Instagram or something and unlike the story and people always be like oh she has to eat

broccoli at Chick-fil-a like what is this disservice to her it's like yeah she's gonna grow up weird she got ice cream too okay like we don't yeah she's gonna grow up weird anyway just anyway, just going to that. I've been working a lot on this website. I told you that. It's a doozy. With these custom products and everything, like I might be trying to sell a product of a table,

but that table can have four different lengths, five different widths, all these different wood species, all these different – Wood species? Is that what you're saying? Wood species, like walnut, oak. Yeah, I would have never thought species wood type should i change the type oh you get to change it oh i can do whatever i want baby there you know i'm talking about my website no not like the cultural change like i hear by claire iby proclaim that it's no longer wood species. It is now wood type.

Carry on. If I catch you calling it wood species, you will be thrown into the dungeon until tomorrow. So like what is the industry called? Like I would just think different types of wood. But wood species is like. Oh man i think so yeah pc like is it okay that i call it white oak like it's it is white oak right it's not just like red oh should i say red oak oh gosh uh black walnut oh i don't know about this yeah yeah yeah uh western cedar bull oh uh, wood species is what I've always heard it called. But maybe that's like a lingo thing that I should change. Take it up with the guild, the guild members.

I called this emergency meeting to talk through if we need to call it the wood species or wood type. What are you guys calling it? Type. All right. That concludes the meeting. Yes. So anyway, back to what I was talking about. Long story short. All right, that concludes the meeting. So anyway, back to what I was talking about, long story short, see how I do that?

Just go all around there. Since I have all those different options for each table, one quote unquote product turns into like 600 products. So then I have to price out every single one of those products individually so that whenever you click on the 72 by 36 walnut with a white base that you know exactly how much that costs. Yeah, so it's just – it's been a really fun experience learning how to do all that website stuff. Please don't go look at my website yet, by the way, because it's like halfway mine, halfway Isaac's. And so it's like pretty embarrassing. But in a couple weeks, it it's gonna be ready for you so

wait speaking of Isaac's business uh we got to talk about that inquiry he got last night yes that was amazing yes first of all I did have an Isaac latte and I just have to say worth every penny baby oh really it was as good if not better than any latte I've ever had non-sick non-congested oh Oh, oh, amazing. Yeah, they're great. Amazing. They go down so smooth. Yes.

Did you have a hot or an ice? I went iced. Me too. It was like I was drinking jazz. Drinking a nice trumpet drink or drinking a saxophone. Drinking an oboe on a nice summer night. Drinking oboe sounds dirty. Drinking oboe.

Drinking oboe. Drinking, never mind yeah uh okay yeah so go ahead you want to remember that song by bo burnham oboe no oh oh he talks about the oboe too okay all this little diddy needed instrument that's double reeded the oboe i just remember that one song my name is Bo for show a born Bostonian yeah and librarians the wordsmith so like that that one's the only one I ever remember listening to or watching but I was like this is so close guys clever that was when he's like 16 17 years old picked up the celery but dropped the beat yeah and then it picked it up yeah Rosa Parks no didn't call shotgun like all

these like funny oh yeah when I discovered this I was like I'm I really like this guy like you see kind of an inspiration to you oh absolutely because I feel like you have similar humor and like similar like uh intelligence behind some of your jokes that are like whoa that's funny Jake but like I wonder if everyone gets that. It's like a little bit advanced. No, yeah. He's everything I would like to become. Because, yeah, I think he's super, super talented. Youngest guy to ever do. He had his own Comedy Central hour-long special when he was 18 years old.

Really? That's crazy. He's still like, yeah, not sure how to vote. Now, is it actually like Scantron kind of thing? Or is it like touchscreen or what? But I'll go on Comedy Central. No problem. So, yeah, I actually pulled this up with Isaac's. Oh, yeah. scantron kind of thing or is it like touch screen or what but i'll go on coffee central no problem so yeah i actually pulled this up with isaac's oh yeah so isaac texas is about 10 p.m last night it

was like what is this yeah and it's so isaac our friend espresso machine isaac also sells furniture like brad but focuses on uh a couple different products mainly cutting boards and like really nice like wooden rustic dog kennels yes which you can order through ellis custom creations or his own website yeah or his website you know villagewoodworks.com we'll plug him instead of making fun of him yeah so so he yeah he was posting on like a facebook marketplace kind of thing yesterday and this woman commented what about like halfway under a bed? And she's talking about dog kennels, by the way. Yeah.

Isaac said, we aren't sure exactly what you mean by this, which is a great response, first of all. But also fair. Like you want a dog kennel under your bed? What does it mean halfway? What does that mean? Yeah, you want like poking out from under the bed?

So she responds, meaning it wouldn't be built for a dog. Uh-oh. And then it goes on to say, a consensual decision between people so it would be at the foot of the bed but underneath and yes this is a real question oh yeah like the the word consensual got me like whoa didn't like that i had to reread that like multiple times i did too oh a consent what she's like i just need a dog kennel but it's a consensual decision between people like are you like yeah and so then she messages him specifically and has this picture of basically like a lofted up bed like not super lofty they can be like a foot up foot or two off the ground with like what looks like a jail just a cage yeah underneath it uh and hey you know or at least we know it's consensual

so she says i mean according to her isaac's gonna get sued someday he's gonna be like hey man she used the word consensual on her facebook marketplace post it is it's not a good look for her that she has to say in her public comment and yes this is a real question like this girl's been trying for years to get someone to just like build her this and every time like is this a real question well yes the crazy thing is that there is a picture that she's using as a template so there are other people out there like this i don't know what those people like to do on the weekends um it takes, oh, nevermind. I can't say that. That's too much. I'll tell you off the podcast.

Oh man, it's funny though. Okay, I'm not going to say it. Oh man, that's funny. Yeah, just what kind of, not that we really need to go into this too much, but what leads up to you and your significant other getting to a place where you decide we would like to invest in a dog kennel for our love life?

Like, what are the steps? Because you don't just go there all of a sudden. Like, do you think it started with a leash? She's like, hey, I want to lock you up. It's like, oh, yeah. Yeah. Like marriage. Like, yeah, I'll lock you up for life.

She's like, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, how's your marriage going? You know, we've been talking about it a lot. you up for life she no no no no no hey how's your marriage going you know it's we we've been talking about a lot we've been thinking and we just decided we're gonna lock each other up every night okay yeah yeah yeah hey how's uh how's that Roseanne doing oh the old ball and Shane oh yeah good boy that's good well well actually um quite literally she's chained to a ball under our bed right now. She doesn't want to be let out until it's feet.

The old lock and key. Yeah. The old dog bowl and treat. What's up? Well, the old dog kennel for a man. What? The old consensual kennel. The old CK.

I'm trying to look this up right now because Isaac did show us her name. I'm not going to say it on the podcast, obviously. She might be a listener. Podcast is blowing up. You never know who's listening. Any quick bets whether or not she's from Kansas or Missouri? Oh, my gosh. You got to bring this into everything.

Okay. Sure. I'll play her game. Let's say, yeah, okay. She's probably from Missouri, but let's think of some other things that she's about. I'm going to say within three of her most recent profile pictures, she's got one of those stickers on it that support a cause. Oh, for sure. Like, yeah.

Like, you know, it just, it takes your already existing profile picture and then it says support our troops i'm gonna i'm gonna go one farther and say that um i did see her like current profile picture but i'm gonna say that one of her other profile pictures when the first five is of an of an object that is not a human okay like doesn't have a human in it anywhere that could be a dog could be a dog could be like a flyer for some like could be like a meme that's just like uh you know a pun on the word avocado but not avocado like this girl's like way deeper than avocados like could be like a meme that's just like uh you know a pun on the word avocado but not avocado like this girl's like way deeper than avocados like she's like frito-lays okay you know um let me find this woman's name again sorry while you're doing that uh speaking of little puns um trey and i just made a video yesterday that i'm really excited about for one because i'm in all

of it which is always fun uh i'm really like this one's a lot this is gonna be so good because i've never been in more of a video um but no i think it's a pretty solid sketch because it's not just like one of his normal videos where it's like here's a premise and here's 30 jokes underneath it it's like a back and forth more sketchy yeah sketch like and it's about uh those letter boards that girls right have right and so got to do a lot of puns with that because that's typically what's in letter boards so uh low-key letter boards that girls have. So I got to do a lot of puns with that because that's typically what's in letter boards. Low-key, letter boards are very expensive.

Are they? At least they used to be. Maybe the market's been saturated enough now. I didn't buy them. Trey went to Target and bought a couple. I'll tell you, they... Well, yeah, keep going. I bet...

My guess is that letter board, because I saw in his story yesterday about that, I bet that letter board... Maybe at Target they're more mainstream now, but I bet those things were going for 50, 60 bucks. Whoa, that's too much. Way too much. Way too much.

I mean, just get a whiteboard. You can get a lot of vis-a-vis for that. You know what I'm saying? What'd you just say? Vis-a-vis. You remember those? No. They were like for like overheads

like back in the day with teachers. Oh, those markers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow, what a reference. Thanks. Okay. I'll tell you what it takes. Oh, i sing the letter boards it takes forever i mean this is we had the script already written we knew exactly what this video was going to be took us like

three and a half hours to make this video really but just because the letter boards you know like you know just one little joke to reveal something that may take you 10 minutes to take the letters off and put it back on so we were there forever but that's probably why it's such a hobby for women is like, it's just painting. Yeah. It's like, it's soothing. Like I get to take them off.

I get to examine them and just really just, you know, just my, my creativity all over it that I found on Pinterest. It just did work. We, uh, sorry.

One other lesson. I felt like, well, I just thought it was, I felt like the, uh, the grandma and, uh, happy go more, which is like my fingers hurt and then you remember ben stiller yeah he's like the evil caretaker your fingers hurt well guess what your back's about to hurt you just pulled

landscaping duty so good that's an unrated character in that movie yeah so good okay so this woman i'm not gonna say her name let's call her Debbie okay so Debbie first of all dog doggy dead Debbie's cover photo is an M and a W and they like a skeleton hand flipping you off oh wow MW modern warfare middle middle winger six let's see profile pic number one is her and a little baby honestly a cute baby okay that's those are both humans yep yep yep yep what is that i can't see she's got her second picture here that says my body my choice my body my voice i nailed that i know she literally has a facebook sticker on her third profile picture.

That's it. Oh, my gosh. I nailed that. And her third. Second and third. And her fourth. Oh, my gosh. Pretty much the same one all three times.

I got to say typecasting middle-aged women might be my thing. And her fifth. And her sixth. Okay. I don't know if they're all. It's her body. Yep. They're all.

It's in a cage right now. I was kind of right. I'm not going to say I was right, in a cage right now. I was kind of right. I'm not going to say I was right, but her cover photo having this thing was kind of what I was imagining in my head. Anyway, she's very adamant about her body and her choices. It's hers. And we both like music. Oh, that's so cool. And the Beatles.

Whoa. So we're like two of probably 30 people in the world that are like music. Oh, that's so cool. And the Beatles. Whoa. So we're like, you know, two of, you know, probably 30 people in the world that are like that. You should try to find a Facebook group where you can connect with other people who like music and the Beatles.

I think there's probably a few of them out there. Yeah. You should see if she's in it. I'm a mate, her intro, which I didn't even know there was an intro. I don't know if I have one. It says,

I'm amazing. And if you don't think so, then I'm sorry you feel that way. So she's a sympathetic to others and she's amazing and sorry you feel that way. Hmm. So she's sympathetic to others. And she's amazing. And she's proud of herself. Yeah. So anyway, that's the woman.

Nice girl. Yeah. Flipping people off with a skeleton. You know, probably just Halloween theme. You know, we're coming up on October. It's that season, baby. So. I'm going to start flipping everybody off.

Maybe. Guess what high he's going to be for Halloween. Ooh, don't tell me. Is it clever or is it cute? Cute. Ladybug. It is a character. Pooh.

Eeyore. Who is normally attributed to a stuffed animal. Oh. Not an animal. Sorry. Stuffed doll. Oh, I'm trying to... Raggedy Ann?

Yeah! Nailed it. That was the only stuffed doll I knew, so thank goodness. We, yeah. That's going to be great. We tried to, like, we went with Raggedy Ann first, and then we were, like, looking at all these different options. By we, I mean, like, I didn't have any say in this.

Honestly, I care. Like, I was in the room. I care fine. Like, I'm happy that she's going to be Raggedy Ann, but I don't really care. But once she decided on Raggedy Ann, she did not want to even hear any of the other options. That's great. So, Raggedy Ann. You going not want to even hear any of the other options. That's great. So Raggedy Ann. You're going to get her like a little wig?

I hope so. I have, I have not thought twice about it. I think Catherine's the one. She's been in charge of all the other Halloween precedences. Yeah. Yeah. That's okay. So anyway, uh, Raggedy Ann coming in hot.

So I'm sure you'll see that, see her eating some broccoli at Chick-fil-A with Raggedy Ann freckles on or something, but she's going to be the cutest raggedy I've ever seen. It's going to be a good time. Yeah. Anyway, so that's cool about your website, dude. Yeah, thanks. What about you, man?

Let's see. Another just great week. Like I'm just, you know, having a good time with life. I'm having so much fun right now. Podcasting. Yeah. I went home this week, just on Sunday. Drove down to Stratford Sunday morning, drove back Sunday night.

Stratford. No, no. Stratford. Stafford. Stafford, yeah. Mount Stafford. Oh, yeah, that's right. Quarterback.

Yeah, I went home, which was great. Watched Chiefs game with my parents. My mom made puppy chow. Oh. Then went over to see my grandparents which are just so awesome they're just like so with it and so funny these are your dad's parents yeah okay yeah they're awesome they're the ones that made a video with you one time yeah yeah okay yeah i put my grandpa on a couple videos and so yeah just great is your grandpa very similar to your dad and you're very

similar to your dad as well yeah oh actually yes, actually, yes. Funny you say that. I learned a couple of things about my grandparents when I was there, but one of them was my grandma was talking about they've been to Hawaii before. I had no idea that they ever been because I was asking them if they've been to these places, and my grandma was like, Jake, we don't go anywhere. We've been to Marshfield, and we've been to Stratford. That's it. She's like, well, we've been to we've been to marshfield and we've been to strafford that's it you know she's like well we did go to hawaii once and i was like oh so we're talking about you know traveling comparing our hawaii trips and uh she was like well you know grandpa i mean he doesn't

care where we eat when we travel i mean he's he's some people live to eat and he just eats to live and i was like have you heard me say that before she's like what no and i was like i say that about myself that's so weird i mean not that i made it up but it's not that popular of a phrase yeah and have you heard me say that before? She's like, well, no. And I was like, I say that about myself. That's so weird. I mean, not that I made it up, but it's not that popular of a phrase. Yeah. And the fact that she described my grandpa's that and me, I was like, that's so awesome that we both like eat the same way, I guess. Yeah. Value the same things. It makes sense because of how DNA works, but no, but yeah, the way he raised his son and the way not that big a deal. It's literally waste.

So what are you going to look like when you're, I mean, like, what's your life going to look like whenever you're 80 years old? Maybe diabetic. Is he diabetic? Yeah. Okay. Been diabetic his whole life. It's honestly impressive that he's still alive.

Okay. I mean, just like from, you know, for one, being a farmer his whole life, pretty hard on your body. Okay. So being a type one diabetic his whole life, he's already like past the lifespan of a diabetic. Yeah. Really trying to get married before he passes on. really thought that'd be a cool gift for him so um i mean trying to make it work surely if you're not that picky you can figure it out like i don't think it's i think it's a little bit selfish on your part at this point like

yeah yeah yeah there's been some girls that i could have married but i'm just like yeah i'm waiting for the right one and that's selfish. Do you love, do you love this woman or do you love your grandpa? Is the real question, man. I've never thought of it that way, but it makes so much sense. Or yeah. I mean, I just want to be able to play ball with my kids before I have to get married. What is Michael Scott's quote? Like, oh yeah, I didn't really want the promotion, you know, too much time on the road and really want to spend time with my, I have a, what does he say? I really time away from, no. Okay.

Sorry. It's the, uh, didn't want to be a professional athlete. Too much time away from the wife and kids that I want someday. I want some death. Something like that. Yeah. Uh, anyway, grandparents were great. So I went home Sunday, which is awesome.

Oh, film that video with my dad. Yeah. Which, um, a lot of people continue to ask me if he, like if it was real, which I guess is a credit to my dad's acting skills. He is good. And yeah, if you didn't know any better, if you hadn't seen any of his other videos, you'd be like... Because for the longest time, I thought that that one when you were asleep was real. Yeah, which that makes sense a lot. Because you sleep very heavily.

Yeah. And for the most part, that was still decently real. Like there was no uh i mean me sleeping wasn't real but as far as like i don't know what he's going to say like we didn't rehearse it didn't queue it up we didn't do it a second time that was all in one shot you didn't really rehearse this one you said did you yeah no i wanted to yeah and he was like no no let's just go let's just do it i was like all right i feel like you know trey and i have seen a lot of success of you know scripting things out you know, Trey and I have seen a lot of success of, you know, scripting things out.

You know, whenever he's like, it just makes me nervous once you start scripting stuff. I just do it. So, yeah. I heard an interview with an actor. This is random. The other day that said that producers, I mean, sorry, directors never tell you exactly. Like they never mimic your line for you. They say like, hey, I want you to say this line in a more angry tone

but they're but they're never like this they're never like yeah hey say give me your money punk like they never like do the actual they'll tell you the emotion but not literally how to do it so if you need some help you know with your dad someday yeah i was oh gosh sorry sorry sorry spike the phone i think you just scored uh i saw a thing from uh judd up to apatow judd apatow apatow famous director for a lot of comedies you know tali and i had stepbrothers all those big ones and uh i guess you know like most movies you know they'll at least do it twice the scripted way and then the third time it's like no script say whatever you want for this scene and i think that just like leads to a lot of funny lines and stuff.

That's fun. By the book, by the book, and then no script whatsoever. That's what we did at camp. At K-Life, we had a skit that we did and we did it, you know,

we had five K-Life at camp. We had five K-Life nights. Oh, gotcha. And so the fourth K-Life night was always kind of like, not the throwaway night by any means, but like this skit. And the way it works is we did the skit.

We would do part one the first night, part one and two the second night, part one, two, three the third night. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like the kids start to really understand. They know what's coming. They're quoting it. Yeah, they're quoting along with you. And so that fourth night, like there's no rules.

You can be as goofy as you want. You can like come out in like these goofy costumes and like, goofy costumes and be a completely different kind of character or something. As long as the script kind of flows, it's like, yeah, no holds barred. So it's really fun. So we're basically like the Judd Apatow of Christian sports games. I'm pretty sure Judd Apatow is Christian. He probably listens to the podcast. I think he did McGee and Me

What up Judd? Did he do McGee and Me? What is that? McGee and Me? I have no idea what that is Oh it was like a classic Like a Christian Like the Buttercream Gang?

No but it was like a 30 minute Like movies Like Oh I'm trying to think of other ones Kind of like Left Behind Didn't Left Behind have like 30 minute movies? Or I don't know

I don't know Like we used to be able to rent them From my church's library back in the day you had to like sign on to a little thing and then you could bring McGee and me

it was like this little cartoon that came to life and was like this kid's sidekick and it was awesome sounds fun they played baseball in one of them

and he has to pitch against or bat against Oral Hirschheiser did they play with Ghost Runners no dang it real ones

they had enough. Man, that would be a great plug, though, to get back to McGee and Me and do that. McGee and Me, yeah. For the three people that still know what I'm talking about. It had a great theme song. It was like this. That's all I'll do with it. But it was awesome.

YouTube, McGee and Me intro. It's a great one. He has all these cool gadgets and stuff. Anyway, we don't have to talk about it. Alright, anyway. and a whole lot of sunblock.

Yeah, it frustrates Catherine a lot. Yeah, I don't really get that. It kind of frustrates me, too. I usually, like, will walk outside. If I'm working out here, I'll walk out get that. It kind of frustrates me too. I usually like will walk outside.

If I'm working out here, I'll walk out to the driveway and kind of stare at him for a little bit. Hey, this is our house. We got a daughter in there. It's a pretty busy like pass-through street. Yeah. Okay, other than that, this week just been making videos mainly. Oh, I played some more pickleball last night. I've been getting down on pickleball lately.

I've played like twice a week, every week since I mentioned it. How do you compare to everyone else? Are you winning most of your games? I am so glad you asked, Brad. Last night, my fellow teammate Brad Tippin and I, I think he might be a listener to the podcast. He brought it up. Is Brad Tippin a K-State guy?

No. He went to KCC, though. And then went to Southwest Baptist University. Lick them bear cats. Oh, okay. I've heard of some Tippins at K-State. Oh, nice. Anyway, undefeated last night.

Didn't lose a game. The both of you. Together. As a duo. Let's go. As a doublet. Nice. Didn't lose.

As a doublet. As a doublet. So, ready to go pro whenever that window opens. Tell some people out there that are more amateur to pick a wall unlike yourself. What are some of the What are some of the key strategy points that you do? Oh, we've rushed the net baby We get all up in that net but don't they have like a rule that you can't be too close So there's a part of the court called the kitchen the kitchen kids so we get up in that kitchen We're smelling it. There's a lot of things you could say We're in the kitchen cannot be in the kitchen called the kitchen. The kitchen. So we get up in that kitchen. We're smelling it. There's a lot of things you could say.

You can't be in the kitchen. Cannot be in the kitchen unless the ball bounces. But you can be like looking at the timer on the oven like, hey, we're close. Yeah, yeah. Like, hey, 30 more seconds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, once we get it over, oh yeah. J.J. Watt and Jadavian Clowney just rushing that net and getting all up in the kitchen's business.

Jadavian got traded, man. Okay. So like 2017, J.J. Watt, Jadavion. Frank Clark and Chris Jones, baby. Chief Super Bowl. Okay, so rush the net. We rushed the net and then, you know, pretty quick with the hands. So do people ever try to go over the top?

They can. It's a tough play, though. Tough one, yeah. Yeah, so we get up in the business, get up in the kitchen. Does anybody ever try to get up in the kitchen does anybody ever try to get up in the kitchen on the other side oh yeah oh yeah they'll challenge our kitchen yeah um doesn't go well for them though no it's fun it's uh we're all pretty evenly matched

so it's fun you should start doing like a gordon ramsay like i don't really know him very well that's i said this last night i was like our team name is hell's kitchen like just yeah just like do gordon r ramsey i know that doesn't they they say yes chef all the time to him i've never seen this yes chef yes chef so like you need to have like the other the opponent like be like hey you can call me chef because i'm all up in the kitchen i put uh i get two paddles and put it between their face what are you right now have you seen that famous like clip of it he's got like two pieces of bread and he's like putting on the side of this like poor girl's face he's like what are you right now and she's like

an idiot sandwich he's like that's right you are really that's like the only clip of the show i've ever seen oh nice so imagine me doing that with two pickleball paddles wow what are you right now a pickle sandwich that's awesome uh but it's so fun we gotta play together dude i know i i want to peter's gonna be so good by the way i can just tell he's gonna be so good's so fun. We got to play together, dude. I know. I want to. Peter's going to be so good, by the way. I can just tell. He's going to be so good at it. Peter's going to be, yeah. He's got that tennis in him.

Peter needs to be richer because he is very rich in his skill set. He's good at tennis, golf, probably pickleball. Selling things on eBay. Yeah. Yeah. All those things. Yeah. He's going to be keeping up athletically for years to come.

Like, he can continue to work in youth ministry. Oh, yeah. For years. He's fine. Strictly due to his athletic upkeep. He can continue, like, you know, messing around and playing soccer with him. Even though he gets sick all the time. He does puke a lot.

He quoted us. We asked him, like, how many times do you think you throw up every year? A hundred times, he guessed. A hundred times a year. that's a lot of bile leaving your body that's like twice a week that's crazy sorry now i'm just thinking about homegirl's profile picture my body my rules or whatever my choice my choice yeah peter needs something like that it seems like he doesn't have his own choice he needs to take control of that body yeah bile's leaving it i'm like you're right we should tell him hey peter you're bile your body your choice you're you're my friend

all right well that's bile that's peter uh let's get into our blanks of the week blanks of the week there it is i was trying to remember how it went. Sorry. Okay. Let's start with... Oh, my thing hasn't updated. What did I write down? Let's go Poultry of the Week. Poultry of the Week. I'll start. Okay.

Poultry of the Week are aggressive drivers in the rain. Ooh. I almost went with old drivers today. Glad I didn't. Really? I changed my mind. I thought it was too mean to make fun of the elderly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Especially, yeah. Like, especially because you're going to be one someday. Yeah. That's what you talked about with your grandpa. On my way. Send me on my way. You know that song? Yeah, kind of.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Poultry of the week. Yes. Aggressive drivers in the rain. I think, and this could go both ways. I'm a little bit hypocritical on this as well because i think it's frustrating when people act like the rain is the snow in general

like oh yeah can't make it today it's it's raining out there like you could get outside in the rain yeah like i think i'm i'm i don't know maybe i shouldn't bash too much but i think that people at our church sometimes say that like hey folks it's raining today so i'm just gonna stay in and i think it's more like uh it's probably not as much about the danger of rain as it is like the convenience of being home while it's raining yeah but still but still it's like i don't know it's it's it's raining a little bit out there i don't know if i want to go out right now it's like it's not the same as snow that being said i think that people often drive a little too aggressively in the rain. I was driving earlier this week and it was flash flooding.

Like it was like that time where you're not, you know, you're driving every once in a while. You see like the, uh, the, the, I don't know, not waves, the puddles, like just splashing up and there were people that were just driving so fast and I just get, I'm like, you're going to fishtail, and you're going to hurt somebody. And so it just really frustrated me. Maybe that's just me as a dad becoming an old curmudgeon, like these people driving too crazy out here. But I just got frustrated about it, and I thought, that's my poultry. My entire drive to Stratford on Sunday was in the rain,

three hours straight of just in the rain. It was like exhausting. Yes, it is. I can't really relax. I get nervous around the right because there was one time where i did fishtail and i thought for sure i was going to get in a wreck and luckily was protected but there were a couple spots on like you know going down like 71 or whatever where if you're in the left lane there are puddles sitting on the highway yes that's so dangerous to be going 65 when there's puddles was that in kansas or missouri that you were driving my goodness when there's puddles. Was that in Kansas or Missouri that you were driving? My goodness.

There's puddles everywhere, probably. Yes, that's exactly what happened to me. And it was in Kansas, for the record, that it happened to me. So anyway, that's my poultry. You got one? Well, on the rain thing, I want to know what your thoughts are on this. Because I felt like, and actually, you're probably not going to be with me on this. In college, you know know like you gotta walk to class sometimes in the rain yeah and i felt like i was the only one who even noticed it was

raining like i don't know i don't like to be rained on if i can help it like it's not gonna keep me from doing that many things but if i have to walk 400 yards in the rain i'm gonna be on the hop a little bit like i don't want to be in the rain longer i might jog really yeah and like everyone else is just walking no umbrella just acting like it's not raining. I'm like, you guys like this? No umbrella. I mean, oh, sorry. Some people had umbrellas.

Like a lot of people didn't have umbrellas. But there's still a lot of people just slowly walking in the rain. I'm not an umbrella guy, but I'm a very big like, let's get out of here. But I wear a rain jacket. That's nice. But have you heard the Mythbusters thing about running in the rain actually gets you more wet? I remember this. This was in the open.

It was in the index of my ninth grade biology textbook. And I don't know why this stuck with me so much because you don't even go over it, that part of the book. For some reason, I just read it. I remember being fascinated by this idea of like, whoa, which makes you wetter? It's crazy. I think it's running. Which is hard for me to believe. But there's got to be like a

uh equilibrium is that the right word like there's got to be a tipping point of like like if you're walking very very like you're walking there's an optimum one mile an hour you're gonna get pretty wet you're gonna get very wet if you're if you're walking 100 miles an hour you're gonna get a drop on you but if like there's like that medium area obviously it's 7.5 right like more attainable for people i don't know but part of the argument i didn't understand i never ran for that reason not because i not because i'm not a runner but because i was fit enough to run i oh i forgot oh i could i could have easily ran a half marathon you could have gotten in a class like a tommy boy

he just runs anything he's like come on Tommy I had 13.1 on my backpack because I ran a marathon half marathon in that backpack I've walked two marathons oh my poultry with that argument was that like and granted this is in a textbook and

Mythbusters confirmed it so it's probably true but it was like okay well when you run you're now catching the rain that's technically in front of you. It was going to drop in front of you, but you ran into it. And that's why you're getting more wet. But I'm like, okay, what about the rain that is right above me? I'm running out of the way of that, I would think. That was always my rebuttal, and no one could ever answer me. I don't know, i think about like if

you're driving in the rain you're driving fast think about how much harder it seems like that rain just hits different i don't know how it works it doesn't make sense it doesn't make sense me either but um but i'm okay with it i'll just say i walked but i walked briskly okay and i walked smugly i was not happy about being there like this oh so smug so smugly. I was not happy about being there. Like this. Oh, so smug. So smug. That's like Catherine's favorite scene I think at all in The Office. Right. Yeah, she thinks it's so funny. It is very funny. Yeah, it was just a thing I noticed

on many, many occasions. I'm like, am I the only one who feels this rain? Okay, last thing I'll say. My Poultry of the Week is with Skip Bayless, ESPN analyst who this week had the audacity to say that Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes are at the same level. No way. Idiot.

I did not hear that. Really? Gosh, what a troll. Yeah, right? Like, he can't believe this, can he? No. He's a huge Cowboys guy, but still. Yeah, and we don't need to make this much of a football podcast.

We absolutely do. But we're going to. boys guy but still yeah and we don't need to make this much of a football podcast but we absolutely do but we're going to um no the so i guess then who i end up liking my non-pulcher of the week who i don't typically like with shannon sharp because i don't typically like him and i still don't like i think he's hilarious the way he talks like he talks he's like skip he's like yeah hey hey let me. Can I tell you something, Skip? Can I tell you something? All right, Skip.

You want to listen to me? All right, here we go. We'll go tell you something. All right, Skip. Why don't you listen to this right here real quick. He does the thing where he over explains it. Yeah, like just say it, Shannon. Just say it.

Are you going to listen to me? All right, you going to listen to me, all right? He realized three hours is a long time to talk. So he's like, I got a really long game to play. Yeah, he went on. Hey, Skip. Listen to me, Skip. Skip.

But he had some great arguments. He was like, you know, yeah, the Cowboys are 3-0. Look at who they've played. If they weren't 3-0, you would be so upset. You'd be so mad at them. You know, the Chiefs have played two very tough defenses. They've played on the road twice. One of them was on a baseball field.

Their one home game was in the rain, and Mahomes still has 200 more yards, more touchdowns, or the same amount of touchdowns, no interceptions. And as people that watch the games, you and I. Jake and Brad. Jake and Brad, Ghostwriters Podcast. Raise five stars on podcast.com. What is on podcast.com, I wonder?

Go check it out. Okay. OK. Podcast dot com slash ghost runners slash Chiefs Mahomes for Super Bowl MVP. But people that watch the game Patrick Mahomes

could easily easily have thrown for 500 yards. I think in any of those games. Yeah. Not easily. But you know I mean like he gets like 300

yards in the first half and then it seems like the Chiefs chill out a bunch. Yeah. Like the first half they're playing to win the second half they are like sealing their victory. They're like not trying to show all their Yeah. Like, the first half they're playing to win. The second half they are, like, sealing their victory.

They're, like, not trying to show all their cards. Exactly. Exactly. Like, we're already going to win. So, like, yeah, you can argue the stats are somewhat comparable. Maybe. I don't know. I don't think they are.

But even if they are, like, Mahomes could easily bust those stats out of the water. Yeah. If he wanted to. So. And the teams we've played have just been so much better. Like, the Ravens and the Jaguars both have very good defenses. Skip's still putting up like 375 again exactly you're a goon so he's my of the week okay that's um next a new segment brad and i have or not new segment new new blank of the week this is catchphrase of the week oh yeah this is just you know when you're just about

to do something great you just put that last coat of stain on your table, about to send it out and make a little money. You know, maybe for me, it's right before Trey says, you rolling? And I say, three, two, one, instead of action, I say this. What do you, do you have ideas? No, I have no idea. I'm just going to make it up. Mine is going to, oh, you're going to make up a word? No, I'm just going to, I'm going to make up like a phrase. This is one, this is a phrase that I would like to say more anyway. So this is great that you pulled out this segment.

Oh, right, right. But the month of September, I think I'm going to make it through without any crazy payments. Just smooth sailing. You'd be surprised, man. I am blessed. I feel blessed. All of a sudden, you realize that one of those medical bills wasn't paid on time, and now you're going to have to pay another $100. Oh, I can't wait. Yeah, I can't wait. I can't wait for my car to break down on on time, and now you're going to have to pay another $100. Oh, I can't wait.

Yeah, I can't wait. I can't wait for my car to break down on the way to Oklahoma tonight and then have to buy 400 tires. Yeah, the axle ride's broken on this thing. I can goose it up for you, but it's not going to be a long-term fix. Yeah, your gooter valves are loose. Oh, that old goot valve. I was just trying to make up a word.

You're going to want to get a new goop valve for that boy. Or is your... your... Spiecle? Yeah your Spiecle's tight. Hey boomer! Boomer! When I'm at the car shop they could literally say anything is tight or loose I'm like oh yeah. I'd just be like oh crap, crap, crap. You're kidding. I thought I told him to get rid of that. I thought we got a new belt on that. Yeah. Okay. Alright. Let's rotate him. Let's rotate him out. Why don't we go ahead this time. i think i think you know in the long run it hurts now but it's gonna feel better later like yeah seriously what's going on in there oh yeah that happens with those those you know ford girders though doesn't it

those old toyota coilas yep yeah yeah they get up there in mileage, but they come with some issues. Yeah, yeah. I thought there was a recall on that, isn't there? Oh, look it up. I think I got an email. You just don't want to really admit that you're wrong or that you're ignorant, but you just got to keep up the conversation. Yeah, so great.

What's your blessing of the week, Brad? My blessing of the week, and it's pretty stereotypical to talk about this, but just today, really the whole week, but just today in general, the weather has been awesome. And it's just getting to that point of like my favorite weather season of the year. It's starting to be nice. Where it's brisk. This is our first podcast where we haven't sweated. Yeah, we're starting to approach brisk season and I love it. Brisk season. I woke up, went to Bible study this morning and had windows down with heated seats and it was glorious.

It was glorious. It was perfect brisk with a warm coat around you. Once again, dare I say it, third episode in a row, we're going to mention it. Hot ice. It's the best of both worlds. You got the ice cube. Hannah Montana, baby. Rosenberger.

You get the best of both worlds. I didn't know if you wanted me to bookend it for you. I just didn't like... I didn't hit the note, so I was like, crap. I thought you nailed the note. I didn't. It's a tough note. You get the... It's hard to hit it.

That's my blessing. I'm glad you feel blessed by that. Just the weather in general. Because it does feel great. Except for that flash flood and the aggressive drivers. But after that happened... Once they quit driving. Awesome.

I love the fall. Anyway, i love the fall anyway i love the fall i love november is my favorite month of the year but fall is my favorite season i think i don't know that's hard i think i like all the seasons seasons are awesome well no i don't like winter i like winter until like january 10th just imagine if it from fall to spring, that would be awesome. Yeah. That'd be so awesome. Yeah. And every season just got like a month longer.

But, but there's like that romantic side of like the cold, like winter season, Christmas time. You don't feel that? Christmas time. Yes. But not like romantic. Cause it's cold.

Like, I think that's part of it is like, Oh, snuggle up, you know, get inside with the fireplace. Romantic maybe isn't the right word for what you're understanding it as. But it's just a very warm, cozy time.

And you wouldn't have to be warm and cozy if it weren't cold outside. Yeah. I mean there are things that come. I get how you can romanticize the winter in a way. But I just don't think it... I don't know. Not for me as much. I'm saying I like it for a month.

I agree. I'm not a... That's why I said January 10th, because once Christmas is over, it's like snow again. Get me out of here. Get... Yeah. When is Christmas or spring break coming? You know?

Let's move on to our review of the week. You are the week you're the week I can never remember where we left off but we got a few more this week you guys have been killing it with the reviews so we really really appreciate that yes

and they're reviewing on podcast five stars all five stars week one of this podcast we got a three star review I hate to say it but since then was there a comment behind it? No. Like that one guy sounds like he has anxiety because his wife interrupts him too often? I didn't see that anywhere.

So it's just a three-star with no comment. Just straight up. That irks me. I'm going to say it. Bleep it out later if you don't feel like it's appropriate, but that irks me big time. And maybe that's what motivated us to do better. Maybe. bleep it out later if you don't feel like it's appropriate but that irks me big time and maybe you know maybe that's what motivated us

to do better maybe hey blessing of the week is that three star review we did not do where we were today you're right so

after listening yes fast food we need to have a fast food uh recommendation of the week yeah faster recommendation of this week taco bell i was i was thinking talking about really shredded mini chicken quesadillas it would be my recommendation i always go for whatever value box they have i'm a big boy and they give you so much food in that five dollar box chipotle and taco bell but even more so taco bell is your best weight to money ratio like you could spend five dollars and it weighs five pounds hundred percent hundred percent it's crazy you could get a like a quick tone workout in for your buys before yeah yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah. Holding that baby up. And it's so great.

Every week they have a new product and they've bundled it in a new box with a new name. No, it's not great though because sometimes it's like, oh, I really like that old box. I like that old box. I'm so sorry we can't do it anymore. I wish I didn't do that accent. Anyway, Taco Bell. Eat it. Tell them you're part of the Ghost Roads and get 5% off your next order of $85 or more.

If you're adamant enough. Yeah. Next one. Really don't know the gender on this one. The username is ChillSherpaStudio. Hey, ChillSherpaStudio's body, ChillSherpaStudio's choice. Choice.

He or she said, best part of my drive to work. I wish there was more than one a week whoa really we'll get there maybe maybe once we like anyone's a turn pro a year from now only triple a right now yeah maybe if you guys give us more five-star reviews on podcast i'm just kidding um she's a middle school teacher why do you keep saying she i don't know i don't know her gender i'm sorry teacher come on i mean she's a middle school teacher. You're taking a good guess there. And often uses the same games and questions that we play on the podcast with the students. Really?

Which is so cool. I'm guessing maybe they're doing Currently Trending, maybe doing... Babe of the Week. Babe of the Week with her students, for sure. Cool. Dang it. I said she again. Here she said, tomorrow I'm going to find out my homeroom's Mount Rushmore of breakfast cereal.

Oh. That's sick. Cinnamon Toast Crunch for all four heads. Oh, speaking of cinnamon, agree or disagree? Agree. There's like two types of cinnamon, kind of. Like in my head, there's kind of a hot, hot red cinnamon, like big, big red gum. Sure.

And then there's like a cool cinnamon that's like a little cinnamon in my hot coffee. Like cinnamon, there's cinnamon sugar. Oh, no, you're right. little cinnamon in my hot coffee like cinnamon there's cinnamon sugar oh no you're right like cinnamon in your coffee yeah i like uh i think it's i think it's all the same cinnamon it's just somehow they make it hot somehow they make it so hot like a cinnamon candle is just red hot to me big red gum so red okay maybe we're calling that one cinnamon spice. We are? Let's go cinnamon species.

There's more than one species of cinnamon. I just had that thought literally yesterday. I was like, are there two types of cinnamon? You know what? I went to K-State

and that's a big ag school so let me talk to some ag people about this and I'll get back to you. Let me talk to Greg Peterson. Yes, really though. That's the first person I thought of.

I have two quick good idea, bad ideas for you to give me some input on. First one. Let me tune, like channel my inner good idea guru.

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. Take the time you need. Got it, got it, got it. Glad we took the time for that. The first good idea, bad idea. I'm planning, potentially a trip

with a couple friends to go down to Tulum, which is kind of a, just a cute little city outside of Cancun. It's much prettier than Cancun and way less homicides. And so I think I'm going to go down there. There's still some homicides. Yeah. You're not going to want to drive at night.

Some manure. I was expecting some manure. Just, you know, less. Okay. So good idea, bad idea. Invest in Fruit of the Loom costumes just for the sake of the pun. Fruit of Tulum. Fruit of Tulum.

Like, I don't even know what the end goal would be, but it's like, you know, four of us go and we buy these costumes and, I don't know, we just take a picture in front of the beach. Like, it wouldn't be that big of a payoff. Hilarious idea, bad idea to invest in the costumes one because of traveling with them they take up all your carry-on what it hold on yeah hey boy you got a you got a bunch of grapes in that bag of yours hold on flying southwest though so two free yeah check bags but obviously that's not the biggest issue here yeah it's just like having it and is it really worth it? I was already a little like, yeah, it's a solid, solid pun. But what's the end goal?

Just like a picture, I guess. Okay, okay, here's what you do. Here's the good idea. It's a great idea to do like the pun. Like Fruit of Tulum is just so perfect. Yeah, it is. Wouldn't be surprised if it's been used before. Oh, most of the jokes I make have all been said before.

But I haven't heard them, so I think they're great. Here's what you do. You go to an all-inclusive resort in Tulum. Are you doing that? No. You think about it. Okay. Because I bet you could get an all-inclusive resort decently cheap.

You get all the fruit they own at that resort. Yeah, I know I just had some apples, but can I get a few more apples? And then you go to the beach with hundreds of fruit that you have to eat, and you do a picture with fruit of Tulum. With real fruit. And it's literally the fruit of Tulum. That's a way better idea. And, yeah, you get fruit and you get... Win-win.

Yeah, win-win-win-win-win. Win-win, because we talked about it here. Yeah, it's a good idea, finding my own fruit once I get there. But I like the idea of fruit of Tulip. I think that's funny. Okay, so now I don't know where to go. We're at like an hour and ten minutes, basically. So there we go, man.

We'll keep going. Okay, well, I kind of need to go. I got to be at Trey's house at noon to shoot some videos. It's 1142. Because what I was going to say is I – Brad and I had nothing – Last night, Brad and I had nothing to talk about on this podcast. And so I was like, all right, I'll just ask my Instagram audience for some questions,

and we'll use those. And we just filled 70 minutes without looking at a single question. So maybe we'll just answer one. We'll answer one question and then we'll save these for the next time. You think you have 70 questions or so? What? You said you have 70 questions? No, today we filled 70 minutes.

Oh, I'm sorry. Of time. Like if you have a lot of questions, we can go rapid fire on like 10. And like, I mean, rapid fire. I'm not talking like, you you know explain it later or explain it before I answer just say straight up like answer um I mean I don't know I haven't really looked at the questions yet so I don't know what kind of caliber we're talking about um I'll let you make decisions I think I I don't want to I don't want to I think if people ask us questions we shouldn't

just like answer it as quick as possible and go on to the next one like I don't know I'm more on the boat of like, Hey, we owe it to them to like think about our answers. If they ask a good question. All right. Okay. Just my thought. That's great.

Um, Jake's more, Jake's more thoughtful and caring than I am. And also I just really need to go. I don't want to answer 10 questions right now. I just want to answer one. Um, okay. This is a fun one.

I found from Kirstie. If you could change the universal way to greet people, what would it be? So no handshakes, you don't say hi, I guess. Like a new way of, like, it becomes socially acceptable to say hi to someone. So something we did in high school a lot, and it wasn't necessarily a way of greeting people, but it was more of a prank, I i guess is we call it the haunch but you literally haunch me baby okay oh with your knees yeah you you grab you basically straddle somebody's knee from the side with your two legs. Oh, man.

So that's how I would – if it's socially acceptable. Like that's the rules. It didn't feel acceptable. Exactly. It doesn't right now because it's – I didn't say it was consensual in a Facebook comment. I'll tell you that. Your face is kind of red right now after I hunched you. Yeah.

That's – I mean if it's socially acceptable, I'd love to, you know, like haunch my way into business meetings. My first thought that's coming to mind is just like a really, like for some reason in this also utopian future world, there's no pain involved or just with the greeting. So it's just like a hard slap on the back of each other's necks, like a, and then we've got the, like each other's brain stems. And then we just put our foreheads together. other's necks like a and we've got to like each other's brain stems and then we just put our foreheads together oh so you're simultaneously whacking each other back and then bring it together so you're like a huge smack and then see you kind of right yeah banging our heads together okay and then our foreheads

just touch it's like I'm Jake I'm Greg nice to meet you nice to meet you man yeah you're right there with them yeah whereas I'm like on the side like hey nice to meet you mr yamagachi that's an awesome meeting that you got with mr yamagachi it's uh yeah i'm going worldwide that's huge yeah sony's gonna start putting your tables and everything yes maybe hey yes yes you never know man uh well i i'm sorry i gotta run though we got you you'll like this though today we are shooting a spoof of john chris though like a john crispy like video so yes can i come yeah can i come and give some material jay's been trying to find like all of his like weird outfits and like you know spike up his hair hey that's hilarious um so yeah that should be fun and uh
