I talked last week about my anger towards the Ring doorbell app, specifically the notifications I'm getting. I expect to be notified when Rachel's in danger, and instead it's just so many. It started with missing cats, and now it's missing dogs, and now anytime there's a loud noise, gunshots? Is anyone else hearing gunshots? It's not Fourth of July, so we shouldn't be setting off fireworks, right?

And I did find a way where I can turn off the notifications, but I don't want to. I've become addicted to like clicking on the notifications and then seeing the comment section okay it's awesome yeah specifically the one that really started this and really got my attention was it said uh three-legged dog loose so i guess someone just like saw a three-legged dog like on their and were just like, I got to tell people about this. To be clear, is this my neighborhood that you're getting all these notifications for or is it your neighborhood, like wherever you're close to? The radius is way too big. Oh, you can't control the radius?

I don't know if I can control the radius. I think you got to be able to control radiuses. That's ring inin is control the radius radius controller that would be nice because yeah they'll send me stuff that's you know 79th and antioch that's still technically shawnee or something it's like that's so far away yeah i don't need to know about your dog there anyway if my dog can get that far he can he live there especially a three-legged dog that dog is the best dog in the world you don't even need to come back yeah um but yeah so it was great so the notification is like three-legged dog. That dog is the best dog in the world. He doesn't even need to come back.

But yeah, so it was great. So the notification is like three-legged dog loose. And the first comment afterwards, which I loved, and my sister was over it. She actually made this point. Because the comment said, can you send a photo? Which is funny to think that he doesn't even own a three-legged dog. He just wants to see a picture of one. He just wants to like i would love to see one of those in my day in the flesh can you zoom in on it i would just i think that's

hilarious i would love to see that um yeah just the guy who just like just golden retriever loose can you send a photo i bet it's gorgeous yeah i would love to see it i bet he yeah he looks good in the sun the spring sun here and so uh since, there have been two other three-legged dog notifications. And I don't know if it's the same dog or if his Shawnee's got a problem. I've never seen a three-legged dog in my life. There's a creek around here where if you drink from it, you know, like, dog's legs just start falling off. Lake Quivira, shallow end.

Don't put your dog in it. Came out with one leg. in the water so i guess that's just it to say like there will be more to come i think on what is on the ring door even just this episode i will i will continue to update you on the ring doorbell notifications that i get how often are you getting them i mean it's like 30 minutes maybe every 30 minutes maybe oh my gosh it's wild i don't even think i would want to text For my wife every 30 minutes I got a three-legged wife And I don't even want To hear from her

Uh-oh Ooh, I think this tight beat Means that it's going down With some random thoughts And white meat too Midwest best friends Eating fast food on repeat So come along

Let's have some fun And go ahead Get on your feet Cause it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast Ghost Brothers Podcast Everybody morning We'll be taking round Ghost Brothers Podcast Go ahead, get on your feet, because it's the Ghost Runners Podcast. Ghost Runners Podcast. Every Monday morning, we're taking ground.

Ghost Runners Podcast. Ghost Runners Podcast. All right, we are back. Another Wednesday episode. Wednesday. Of Ghost Runners. Wednesday. Wednesday.

Making a win on their Wednesday. You want to start with that? You want to start with something else? I want to start with that. Okay to start with something else I want to start with that okay my win of the week is that no everyone's commenting about Jake's mustache people aren't really saying much about Brad's it's fine it's coming in though it's getting there all right

but I'll tell you one person who says nice things about my mustache and it's my second born son my first born son second born child Robert Bradley Ellis aka Bo yeah because Hattie will deny that you even have a mustache Second born son, my first born son, second born child, Robert Bradley Ellis, a.k.a. Bo. Yeah, because Hattie will deny that you even have a mustache. Hattie's like, I don't think he's got anything on there. Do you like your dad's mustache?

No, he doesn't have one. Hattie and Rachel were playing that memory game the other day, and they found there was a picture of a walrus, like a cartoon walrus. And he's got these little whiskers coming down. And Hattie goes, he's got a mustache like yours, dad. There we go. Yep, that looks about like mine. Better than nothing. But Bo, I mean, gets so excited.

And the greatest thing is that since my mustache is so weak, he doesn't always remember or know it's there. And then he gets close to me and he goes, you still have that mustache. So it's not just like consistently he's seeing this mustache. It's like every once in a while. But he loves it. He said he wants a mustache. So it's not just like consistently he's seeing this mustache. It's like every once in a while, but he loves it. He said he wants a mustache. And so I just say, hey, you got a mustache,

buddy. Yeah, you're growing it. I can see it. Yeah. So anyway, Bo and I are mustache-ios. Mustache-a-bros. For his birthday, Cinco de Maybo, coming up, can I get him a fake mustache? That would be amazing. That would be fun. That would be awesome. I'm gonna do that. That's fun. Just don't get on the hitler one like we're we're anti-hitler family okay yeah

that one's it's hard to fit on a child's face anyway it is well it's just yeah it's like short it's um you know compact compact yeah yeah yeah you need a lot of height all right i won't win the week my win of the week is probably uh this past. I got to film a golf video for Mood Swings by myself, which is really fun. Because Trey was out of town. We needed videos. And so I went out there. And Isaac and Harrison also joined me, which was really fun. Brad was close.

He was a maybe. It was Rosie's birthday. I could. Yeah. I was so close. But I didn't. Yeah. I don't think you necessarily missed anything.

But it was still like a fun experience for us. And as of recording this, that video went live like 10 minutes ago. So maybe I'll update you guys soon. We'll see what people think about it. But it was just a fun win. Never got to do anything like that. Two years ago, I didn't even own golf clubs. Who would have thought?

I'm out there on the course. It was a really original, really fun video where I just FaceTimed like the biggest golf YouTubers in the world and asked them what club I should hit. I hope people like it. I had a good time. Wait FaceTimed yourself. I just FaceTimed Trey. Hey, your mood swings. Some of the biggest in the world. We've been to a top golf together a few times recently and I keep wanting them to be like, whoa, mood swings is here. Whoa. Yeah. Jake from mood swings is here. Doesn't happen that often. Someday though, it's going to be normal.

Yeah. They're going to have our own reserve Bay just because Jake's here. Doesn't happen that often. Someday though. It's going to be normal. Yeah. They're going to have our own reserve Bay just because Jake's here. Top golf sponsorship. There was someone, there was a high school kid at Chick-fil-A a couple weeks ago and he came up to me and he was like, dude, you're the guy you're from full swing or mood swings.

And I was like, no, yeah, no, I'm on the Netflix. No, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, on the Netflix show. Full swings. No, no. Yeah, no. I didn't have the mustache in, so yeah. I'm Rory McIlroy. And yeah, that was kind of funny. First time being recognized for the golf specifically. It's happened probably less than 10 times for golf specifically.

And even when it does happen, they don't even get the name right. You know, they're like, you're from, you swing it. You're doing the swinging. Yeah, you're from Mood Rings. Yeah, just kind of fun. It was a fun, new, just challenge and trying to film, but also keep pace. And it is always stressful and hectic, but always fun. Always happy with what you made afterwards. Yeah, and I'm sure it was fun just being out there with Harry and Ike.

What's the video? Was it the same video that you guys did some cinematic? You took some cinematic liberties? Are those going to see the light of day? I don't know when those will be coming out. There is a video that is a shot-for- for shot remake of the beaches of normandy scene from saving private ryan that we did on a golf course with harrison isaac and myself so i don't know how that's gonna play on youtube um because i was telling derek i was like we might need to put the

side we might need to put like the the actual scene in it because i don't think people just have that memorized they're not gonna know that you did it shot for shot like the train i made a castaway spoof in quarantine and that was like court just post anything people are hungry for this and i was like and i put the actual castaway movie in there and i think that helped and that was fun oh yeah that if you already know it then you appreciate it and if you don't know it then you appreciate it so i think it's a win-win yeah so hopefully so what's that what was the theme of that one? It was Trey's idea. It was basically like when you play too hard of a course, you get a little over your head and then it just becomes like a war scene

trying to get out of there basically was the premise. And so. Is there a way? I'm sure there's a step for, you know, difficulties of course. There is like it says on there. Like if you,

if you're on, you know, reserving a course, it'll be like, this one's a five out of seven the uh it's the slope rating slope which has got to be one of the more complicated in a way it is very data driven but from what i understand it it's like um there is uh i forget there's there's one metric that they go off of like it's crazy i'm gonna get this kind of wrong because i only looked into it once but let's say they take 10 scratch golfers, which means they should shoot even par every time.

Yeah, you and me. You take you, me, and eight people like us. Yeah. And we go out on a course and we play that course. Our scores, it's something like the difference in our median scores

versus what they think the average golfer's score would be, the slope of that on a graph is how they tell you the difficulty of the course. It's something... So the steeper the slope, the harder it is. Yeah. So if you're playing a course like the slope is like 145, that is very difficult. You go out to...

What does 145 mean? Like... I think it's the angle of... Oh, angle, angle, angle angle like the amateur golfer the bogey golfer versus the par golfer yeah and then the slope of like a really easy course like 110 or 115 so they take they take 10 scratch golfers like us and then they take 10 scrap like 10 bad golfers like timon i think it's something like that the real golfers will know i've probably got one or two details wrong but it's something like that the real golfers will know i've probably got

one or two details wrong but it's it's quite the process because i just saw slope rating oh 130 okay not bad i had no i thought they just they just kind of give you something between 100 and 150 yeah and in reality no there's like a lot of math that goes into this interesting how often do you think they update the slopes you know that's a good question one time i was playing out at sycamore and the guys behind me were all like dressed the same and had uh clipboards and i was like what's going on you scouting and they're like no we're here doing this slope like the ratings adjustments we're sloping hitting the slopes do you think they were the bogey boys or they were the they were the scratchers i don't know i didn't even think about that i think it was before i even know how it

works i was like maybe they just go out and like test like yeah this is a tough sand let's make this harder yeah like i just thought it was like all subjective like oh yeah this holds long so i bet this is tough speaking of guys dressed the same golfing we haven't talked at all about the guys next to us at top oh yeah like not even to each other we didn't really talk about it yeah we did it what who who do you i don't know what kind of people those are do you know okay i i think i don't know i forgot we haven't not talked about this i was not feeling like i've been having headaches all week and so anyway yeah it wasn't like in the most talkative mood the goofiest mood the other day when we were at top golf but i was like what are these people doing over here? Jake and I were there. We had Prime

Bay. Go through the doors. Boom. Boom Bay. There's us. Boom Bay. They're putting us on display, basically. Display Bay. Right next to us, we're there for an hour, and then these guys come up and they have black... What is

that? It's not a dress, but it's kind of. They're very loose on the bottom, but it's not a dress you got a dress but it's like kind of i mean they're like very loose on the bottom but it's not a kilt it's like longer than a kilt it's like it's like a manly dress and they have they look like they're religious of some sort they have belts around their waist and they have like the white thing that you know like a priest would have like you know i'm talking about like the little indentation where the white thing is um i want everyone to look up if you're able to right now silas from the da vinci code from the movie okay this is kind of what it looked like as far as just like a big

silas code like overcoat did it have a hood i don don't know about a hood. It may not be perfect. This is the first thing I thought of. Just like a cloaked character. Like head to toe. They had dress shoes on. I mean, is that what Jehovah's Witnesses are wearing these days? I don't know. Just Google every religion you can think of and let's see what they look like. No, they're dressed in normal.

Scientology, maybe? Either way, these guys, it seemed like some type of religion and they were golfers and they were holy mack and mackleroy out there there there was one of them that was like pretty good and then the other guy like but i was like who but these guys they they both took off their belts you notice that like they took off their belts unwielded i think that yeah for some better you know uh movement i i don't know man i i don't know what they were I just looked up Scientology I'm not finding anything for that just a bunch of pictures of Tom Cruise

yeah pretty much Top Gun yeah I don't know what group or organization or religion it was from but it was just kind of fun just like I thought about talking to him but like I said I wasn't feeling great and so I was like whatever what would you said I said hey what what's up I think what was I thinking I hadn't thought in my head of

like I'm gonna say something I was of like, I'm going to say something. I was going to say, I think I was going to say, what religion are you guys? Or something like that. Just something simple. Because yeah, they were normal and they were like white guys. It wasn't like they were from a different country or anything like that. Well, maybe they were, but they were talking like English accents, American accents. So it was a very interesting thing.

And Jake and I just kept golfing. It was nothing. Yeah, we just didn't do anything. I just Googled, religion where men wear black cloaks and dress shoes. Yeah, that's the other thing. They had very formal shoes on. In Eastern Christianity,

which way would that be? The East. Got it. There are two types of Kasach. What would that be the east got it there are two types of cassock what would that be cassock are um cassocks cassocks the inner cassock and the outer cassock or raisin i don't know any of these words this is this is like obsequious deference it's like oh thanks i sorry i shouldn't even read that because that cloak is the right word for what we were trying to say they were cloaked they were cloaked they were darkly cloaked

but it was like a form-fitting cloak on top when i think of a cloak i think of something you throw over your like it was like that was their clothing i think anyway oh i found it i found it this is what they're wearing wasn't it yeah i think so that's pretty similar to it. Cassock, C-A-S-S-O-C-K. It looks like this is a Christian clerical clothing coat used in the clergy and male religious of the Oriental Orthodox churches, Eastern Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. So there's a lot of people out there probably that are like,

yeah, these guys are idiots. Everyone knows what those are. We shouldn't have done this. What is Eastern Orthodox? Yeah, is that just Rome? Is that Catholicism? Doesn't matter. Either way, fun memory.

People will let us know on the YouTube comments. Thank you in advance. I bet we got none of that wrong and didn't offend anybody. It's cassock, not cassock. Oh, yeah, I definitely pronounced some words wrong. Yeah, I love any time we talk about a specific topic and we upset some people and they're just like, hey, all the other jokes you made were fine,

but the joke that is catered to me, you crossed the line, buddy. You just got to be able to... We're not picking on anyone specifically. Are they Anglican? I don't know. I'm curious now. If you're a podcast listener and you were the guys at Topgolf,

let us know. Let us know it was you and who you are. That was funny. We never talked about that. Kind of funny. Kind of funny. Anyway. Anyway, how are we going to talk about that? Oh, my win of the week was golf. That's right. I just, how many,

what's my goal for Arizona on how many, like we're doing a scramble, right? Yeah. What's my goal for how many shots they're going to use of mine? Realistically, be honest. Do you want to count putts? Like they're like, hey, it's two foot, but Brad, you want to tap that one in for us?

Yes, 100%. Well, no, not like, no, I don't want to count like the gimmies, but I want to count like if I make a putt, I want it to count. Okay. Like we're planning on all four of us. We're trying on this one. We're not sure if he's going to make it. Okay.

Because I'm a decent putter. And I've never putted. I've never putted on a real golf course left-handed. And I'm still pretty decent. You know what I'm pretty good at? This thing that I've never really done in a traditional sense. No, no, listen. No, shut up.

I'm good. I've been to many putt-putt golf courses, okay? Dude, reading a green is a craft. And luckily, you will have teammates. And so they can tell you, like, Luke Colvin's like a monkey. He'll get down there with his hands and feet, and he'll tell you, you know, feel it in his plums.

See, I feel like I'm a woodworker, so I can read grains. You bring a level out there with you? Yeah. I'm just like, I got this. There are some professional golfers that are getting into this new type of way of reading greens called Aimpoint, where they get very, very good. They this. There are some professional golfers. They're getting into this new type of way of reading greens called aim point

where they get very, very good. They practice. It's all with their feet. They practice like just kind of going back and forth and reading like, okay, I think my right foot is higher by two degrees than my left foot. And they practice it by using an actual level and they'll tell you the degrees. And so they can guess and check the work and they get so good. And then they, once they learn the degrees, then it's like this other system with like, however many degrees,

it's like the certain amount of fingers, the certain distance away. You put your fingers from your eye, you close one eye and then it's like, okay, there's so I need to aim over here then. I mean, if I was a professional golfer,

sure, I'd get in all that. I was going to say that I would have to be getting paid to care that much about it. It'd be a lot of work. I'm just going to feel it probably. Yeah. And yeah,

you can have teammates that'll tell you like, Hey, this is kind of what you need to do. Yeah. So that'll be helpful. It'd be a lot of work. I'm just going to feel it, probably. Yeah. And yeah, you can have teammates that'll tell you like, hey, this is kind of what you need to do. Yeah. So that'll be helpful. I feel like every, I've been, I've golfed twice in my life.

Yeah. But every time they'll be like, it breaks this way. And I'll be like, I just, I felt like I knew that already. Like, I don't know. Okay.

I got some intuition. I might be really good at golf. Okay. Okay. All right. The amount of shots that Brad will use in his first 18. And you seen you've seen me at top golf scrambling as a foursome i think the over under people can bet okay you can bet the over under is two and a half really okay two and a half is pretty solid yeah because i

could easily see myself i think I think three is pretty. Well, I don't know. It depends on who's on my team. I think you get one putt and maybe one ball off the tee box where you're the only one in bounds. One drive ball. Yeah, one drive ball. One drive B.

Yeah, you get a hold of one. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So two and a half is the line. And then if we golf, I don't know if we're going to golf more than once, but then that second time I want to go three and a half i want to improve good i want to yeah always always be improving it's fun fun metric to go off of yeah good so anyway um got some ring notifications

i just clicked on it now it's kind of doesn't know dog roaming oh like a like a cassock roam saw while driving around grandview street and 49th street would not come to me and ran behind a few houses would not respond to his name view street and 39th street 49th street yeah this is like the most the radius is wild so far away yeah yeah would not come to me and ran behind a few houses uh we got some really blurry photos of him one comment poor guy who sucks for that dog who's just getting on the ring app and just it's like being a part of the community just like oh my gosh uh you just scroll it can you scroll the app and just like see what else is going on yeah this went 16 hours ago suspicious people oh that's all you get suspicious people um let's see what they say to not to not sure why what to not sure why they are looking through packages whoever they they need to stay off our porch

this is awful english um neighbor 22 said might be looking for their own package 15 upvotes not bad for shawnee okay um good for neighbor 22 having just like the most you know altruistic yeah you know they're probably just the amazon probably messed up this is great i mean it's like you're just reading facebook comments which facebook i'm getting close to deleting facebook i mean i love our facebook group but it is unbelievable just like the negativity from the boomer generation on facebook is driving me nuts lately really it's crazy i mean like you'll get it's usually like a suggested post like i don't follow nba on t, but you know,

Facebook is like recommending that to me in my feed now. So it'd be like Steph Curry is, you know, some crazy stat about his three-pointer. And in the comments, I'm like, see what people say. And they're just like, could never do this in the eighties. Jordan would have a heyday with them. I'd like to see Larry Bird right now. It's just like, is no one like, old people love Steph Curry.

And even still, no one like old people love steph curry and even still i mean no one on in the facebook comment section of like a a corporate post of a brand post it it just is ugly i i generally get sad reading it it is just old people being so so negative look for it and you could find on facebook pretty sure it's awful yeah just comments and like anybody who's commenting that much and getting excited to share their negativity is probably not the most fun person to hang out with. Yeah. You know.

And that's what this comment section reminds me of. People have lost all respect for others' property. Post on all social medias, please. Please. They saw the ring camera and played it off. I'll tell you why. They're thinking whether they will steal it or not. Call the cops.

There you go. That's like the opposite of Neighbor 22. Neighbor 22 goes back. He's like, no, no, no, not yet. They're just thinking about if it's theirs or not. Yeah. I just get, you guys know, I just get weirdly just bogged down with negativity.

It just bothers me. That's probably a good idea to delete your social media then. Yeah. I think I'm going to only get on the Facebook group, facebook group our ghost owners facebook group and just get out of there it's rotten that's what i'm saying like i've been trying to police my phone more and like yeah it's just like how much like negativity would truly be in our lives if we never were on our phones truly think about it yeah where Where else is negativity coming from in your life? Very rarely. It'd have to be like a stranger in like a weird scenario.

Yeah, exactly. How often does that happen? Maybe on the golf course every once in a while, somebody says something weird that you don't like. Oh, yeah. I got a new one this week. You got a new one? Yeah, just real quick. We don't have to get into it too much. Yeah, I'm trying to play a quick night. Rachel is just the best i was

i got done with work i was at trey's house i was gonna come to her house hang out with her and it was like a randomly like 78 degree day it was insane and rachel texted me said do not come here go do something outside i have class at five i was like that's great so i was like i'll play nine holes really quickly this golf course i play the front nine really quickly i go to the back nine and i was trying to get many holes than i. I'm like getting in the car real quickly. I go to tee up. If there was a word for what I was doing, you might say hurrying.

Remember that for later. And then I see a guy pulling up in like a yellow polo. He gets to me before I'm able to hit, and so I'm like, hey, what's going on? And he's like, oh, don't mind me. You just keep playing. I was like, oh, great, okay. Tee off, boom, fairway. It. You just keep playing. I was like, oh, great. Okay. Tee off.

Boom. Fairway. It's always a huge blessing when people are watching you. Oh, I can't believe I actually hit that. D-ball on the fairway. D-ball on the F. And so then, boom. Get my tee.

Put the club away. Drive off. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Son, where are you going? Oh, I thought you said I could. I thought you said I was good. Sorry. No.

Let me ask you. What time did yout off uh i think it was right at five and did he tell you what time carts need to be in yeah he said seven so i got like 30 more minutes hurry up i couldn't believe it it was so stern it was like all right we'll enjoy it got 30 more minutes it was was like the pause and the seriousness. Hurry up. Good idea. I would have never thought to hurry up

while the sun is setting. There's no one in front of me. I would have never thought to play golf at a faster pace. Oh. Hurry up. And just the way he said it, I was like,

I'm going to say something to this guy. I'm going to say, of course I didn't. The whole, I can't even, the last 30 minutes of golf was ruined. I was like, I can't even think about it.

I'm just so upset at this old man. Hurry up, this guy says. Hurry up. Dude. Yeah. What is it about old men that work on the golf course? I, I, whatever, this is just becoming a golf episode, I guess, because I have irrational beef with the guy, the old men that work at Topgolf. Yeah. I do not like those guys. Yeah. I like everybody. Dave or whatever his name is. And he's not even that much of a jerk. I just, there's something about him. He just walks by and I'm like, I don't want you to watch me right now.

Please keep going. Or like, yeah, always just like worried about whatever. A little bit of this is Topgolf's fault because they have a job that is one of the more pointless jobs I've ever seen in business. Oh yeah, you get fired up about this. I don't like this job.

Yeah. Before you get to the desk, there is a a podium which they will have someone stand at i mean the second you walk in the doors you're in front of the podium yeah and normally i'm like walking to the desk and they say hey what brings you in today and then you say uh look into golf and they say awesome head to the desk and you're like yeah i mean the most intuitive thing you walk into a business you've never been to go you can never bring a golf. You could have just got off the boat. Whoa, Ellis Island was cool.

Let's go to Topgolf. Let's check out Topgolf now. I would still feel natural for me to go to the desk where the computers are, where the people are all dressed the same. They look like they're in charge. Right. I would go to the desk. The employee. Yeah.

The one off. Like, there's two options. There's the podium or the desk. The podium guy's no good. So let's go to the desk. Yeah. And if the podium guy is just there to tell you, all right, yeah, go to the desk. They'll see you. I know.

positivity back brad what do you want to talk about um okay positivity let me just oh okay uh okay actually i have a thing that's it's kind of a complaint though so i'm not gonna say that um my my mother-in-law told me my hair, I just got my haircut recently. Oh, I got my haircut. And actually I like my haircut. Everyone's saying nice things about my haircut.

Uh, went to the same guy I've been going to for, you know, whatever, five or six haircuts now. And the first time ever, he shaved my eyebrows a little bit. Ever had that happen to you?

I wouldn't know. I was like, wait, do I have, did I have bushy eyebrows? And does he have jurisdiction happen to you i wouldn't know i was like wait do i have did i have bushy eyebrows and does he have jurisdiction yeah didn't even that like mid conversation just wow i mean probably knows you got an eyebrow guy don't touch these pups i got yeah i got somebody else doing that yeah yeah no um i i mean so far i'm fine with the results but i've been checking my eyebrows out a lot more than I used to. Like, were these really that bad? And he also got in the ears a little bit.

Got in the ears. Yeah. Yeah, I think eyebrows are something that I don't want anyone to ever make a comment about, because right now I'm in a great spot. I don't think about them at all. I want to stay that way. You have great eyebrows. I don't want to think about them.

Sorry, I'm not going to comment on them one way or the other. But yeah, I was pretty thrown back, taken aback by... I'd be thrown. Because it's like... Hey, my IBs. Easy. It's just like they just take the comb. So it's like just whatever's sticking out of the comb,

they just give a nice little shave to. So it's not like they're waxing my eyebrows or anything, but it still was a little bit surprising. And maybe you're out there and you're like, yeah, I get my haircut and they do it every time. I don't know. It was normal for, you know, this guy, the eyebrows, huh? Yeah. He went, he, I mean, this guy's good. He does a good job. He does like, you know, the, the single blade razor on the neck. It feels awesome. I like them a lot. So anyway, but I'd never had that happen to me before. That's pretty fun.

But before I got my haircut, I had written this down a long time ago. My mother-in-law said that my hair looks like Dilbert's hair. Do you know who Dilbert is? Oh, yeah. The old cartoon. Yeah. I looked it up. I was like, first of all, Dilbert, I don't know.

Like, look him up real quick. I don't think he really has hair. Does he look like you right now with glasses? Kind of. Maybe. I didn't know if it was a compliment or it felt like it wasn't that much of a compliment i guess it's hair it's just kind of like like the same color of his skin like these waves just up and down on the top of his hair he's got like pie crust his hair i i didn't know what to think of the dilbert hair uh comment from the mother-inlaw. It felt like there was some poking of fun slash maybe some like passive aggressiveness of like, you need to get your hair cut.

Yeah. It's weird too. Yeah. This guy just definitely does not have hair. Like she complimented you on something that you have Charlie Brown hair. It's like, I think Charlie Brown was like famous for having one little piece of hair on the top of his head. Yeah.

I, I don't know. I didn't. Yeah. Oh, you have Bethany Hamilton's arms. That'd be a weird compliment as weird, dude. Whoa, you wouldn't say that to someone say it. Whoa, you have ring doorbell dogs amount of legs. Yeah, you wouldn't say that. Sorry about the Dobert hair hair comment it's okay i don't know if it's positive or not but um you've earned it you you've you've deposited a couple positive tokens you can go back negative if you need to here's something positive okay let me let this

is transparent we're gonna we're putting our transparent cloaks on now um i'm trying to lose weight i've been trying for decades my entire life I feel like maybe five times on this podcast I've already been like I'm trying to lose weight string beans happening all these different things and it just is so hard for me and so I've decided if you think this is a good idea I think it's a fine idea

because I'm trying to do it with pure intentions not like braggy intentions but at the end of each episode I'm just going to say two numbers that's all it's going to be it's not going to be like a long thing it's my slope rating it's going to be. It's not going to be like a long thing. Slope rating. It's my, my slope rating. It's going to be how much weight I lost that week and how much weight I've lost overall. That's it. I'm not going to, I'm not

going to like talk about it a bunch. I'm not going to be like, Hey guys, here's my weight loss journey and all that stuff. But I want to have a little bit of accountability. And I think just, just, just a little bit of praise from people. I think I need that. I know that sounds silly. No, I think that's good. Especially just knowing like I have to tell this on the podcast. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. It's not like, well, Brad definitely has not lost weight, but you can't tell how much.

Yeah. So I'm going to weigh my, I haven't done this yet, but I'm going to weigh myself and then I'm going to, yeah. So today's episode is going to be zero, zero. Okay. But hopefully it's going to be a tough one next week going to Arizona. I'm going to tell you that right now. So I'm going to try to sweat a lot. Yeah, yeah, zero. Okay. But hopefully it's going to be a tough one next week going to Arizona. I'm going to try to sweat a lot. Yeah. Yeah. But bring a wool, wool jacket on the course. Yeah. Just like a sauna. Yeah. But I, uh, you know, I was thinking about this morning

is our theme song and how it might honestly be a cool thing to keep it the same, just to see how much changes specifically what I was thinking about this morning is to Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. Right. We're not eating as much fast food on repeat as we used to be. No. It's not only on Mondays anymore. Right. What else will change? Will we move out of the Midwest?

What if? Will it be a tight beat forever? I don't know. Might start getting loose. Will beats change? Means it's going down on some random thoughts. Will we always have random thoughts? Structured.

White me. Two Midwest best friends? Oh. Uh-oh. Or maybe. Zoinks? Maybe we're focusing on the the wrong thing maybe it's not just going to be two oh time in bow bow patty um that's what i'll repeat so come along let's have some fun no longer fun serious true crime yeah interesting yeah i saw someone that i follow is starting a crimity podcast i was like that sounds kind of fun that's a good idea i should have thought of that crimity some type of true

crime with comedy i would like to listen to that do you remember who it is i want to say it's uh tank sinatra you know him tell him i want to say it was him okay okay i'll check him out tank sinatra okay dinosaur okay anyway Anyway, I'm doing it. That's all I'm going to say about it. Cool. That's fun. I think it's great. And if people are like, what are those numbers at the end of the episode?

You can refer them back to this because I don't want to talk about it over and over again. Cool. Because it's a personal thing and it's not like something I'm super excited and proud of like being overweight, but I do want some help. And I think that would be accountability enough. Yeah. I think this is fun. It's a good decision.

Cool. In the meantime, you know, we're not eating as much fast food, but we are. We're always buzzing for beans, baby. Buzzing for them beans. Buzzing for beans. Tell you what. We didn't hear from them last week, and I missed them.

Exas. I'm going to try to do a good job to keep it entertaining. We've

been talking about golf, and so it's time to switch to baseball, of course. Cool. So last Wednesday, TJ called us. TJ lives in Hawaii with our friend Ian. Talked about Ian a few times on the podcast. Ian was the guy who I gave a hard time for because of how much

he's paid for his Chipotle order. And then last week we said that Ian didn't order his own Starbucks. He's come to his own defense many times. We're not going to talk about that. Just know that he thinks he's getting wrongfully accused. But he did send me this voice memo, two long voice memos, and I kind of tried to take notes about them, and I'm going to share them today. So he's really into baseball.

So like last week when we were talking about all the steroids and all this, you know, walk up songs and all that, he was, he was vibing with that. Um, and then he texted me, he texted me like three different questions.

The last one was, have you ever heard of something called shaved and rolled metal bats? Have you ever heard of this? No, it's very, yeah. Okay. So,

so he left me this long voicemail uh voicemail so he said that metal bats have this like composite inside like carbon fiber or whatever is in there um and people are taking these metal bats for young kids and they're altering them basically you can order them like illegally like kind of it's like it's not yeah it's kind of illegal i think harrison was talking about this okay so so you basically go into the inside of these things with a lathe, and it cleans the metal on the inside. It's like the inside sidewall is thinner. He's described it as the metal is compressing and expanding more

with the contact of the ball. Whatever that means, there's this website called Gorilla Bats. Gorilla Bats website can do this service for you. They're not selling Okay. Uh, gorilla bats website, um, can do the service for you. They're not selling the bats, but they're like, Hey, we'll roll and shave them for you. And gorilla bats promises that you can get 50 feet farther of a hit or yeah, on your, on your, on your swing, which as a little kid. So Ian, Ian has little kids that he coaches, you know, eight, nine, 10 year olds, 50 feet is so far and they guarantee it. They guarantee it. Um, you know, and so, but it's also kind of a dangerous thing. It's like this, like, okay, this is kind of like, obviously metal bats are already a decent danger. And he

talked about, um, you know, like what if it, like you hit it too hard and it hits a kid and it could really hurt him. He's like, actually, this has happened in professional softball where a guy smoked a hit, smoked a ball so hard into the third baseman, they hit him in the chest, and it killed the guy. Oh, my. Yeah, and they had to investigate his bat because they're like, we think that this is going to be an altered bat. And he said, luckily, it wasn't an altered bat. It was just like a normal bat.

But if it would have been an altered bat, this guy would have been charged for manslaughter. Oh my God. Yeah. So, so it's kind of crazy, like all this different stuff. Um,

so he kind of just sets it all up by saying all this stuff about shaved and rolled bats is what they are. And then he, he told me, he's like, so I'm at work the other day. We have this FedEx guy. You call him FedEx.

Mike is his name. Uh, he's like FedEx. Mike's the kind of guy he, uh, he calls into a lot of ESPN talk radio shows. You know, he's that kind of guy. He's, he would know anything and everything about, you know, like obscure high school sports, like about like, about like, you know, he lives in Hawaii. He would know something about Kansas city, high school, baseball, basketball, football, like high school, college professional. This guy just knows a lot he cares

a lot especially about baseball um so along with uh delivering for fedex he helps sort the packages for fedex and and so ian's got this like you know familiarity this friendship with fedex mike um and so fedex mike's helping you know sort the packages coming off the plane and fedex mike sees a package that looks like a baseball bat from gorilla bats okay and so fedex mike you know he this guy's like hey fedex mike have you ever you know heard of these guys and he says well let's see where let's see where this thing's going so he's he he said that the bat itself is going to this guy named brad not brad okay brad and kihei which is where Ian lives. And so FedEx Mike's like, Hey Ian, if you ever heard of this guy named Brad Anderson, um, and Ian is like, actually,

I had a terrible run in with that guy as a coach. He's a complete Ian used some words I'm not going to use on here, but he says he's a complete jerk. He's like, this guy is a absolute tool. Um, he, so, so a few of the things, so he's a coach. Um, he used to coach Ian's son's team last year. That's how Ian knows him so well. Uh, this coach gave himself the game ball one time. No way. Yes. You can't do that. Yeah, exactly. You gave yourself the game ball that, that alone alone i think that's the main like he didn't give a ton of examples but he's like this guy just doesn't understand etiquette this guy's willing to ruthlessly win at all costs even with an eight-year-old you know children um and ian's son played for this guy brad's team coach brad's team last year so he decided to coach this

year so he wouldn't have to be on his team um and so brad we know this guy is this guy's the guy getting brad anderson sounds like brady anderson the orioles player i changed his last name oh uh but yeah it's pretty close to anderson so if you're listening brad you know who you are yeah um but anyway brad gets the gorilla bat and so ian's like oh yeah i know this guy um so fedex mike's asking Ian, he says, yeah, this is Brad Anderson. Um,

and Mike's like, yeah, this guy's got the, you need to, you need to accuse this guy of having this illegal bat. Like this son is 11 year old kid or whatever. Um, so now Ian's just trying to figure out like,

should I report an 11 year old child to the minor leagues, minors, little league for using an illegal bat. Um, so, so then Ian kind of gives us this, this like background of all this stuff he said coach brad's currently coaching the giants um okay and the giants team only has nine players on it because so many players have either quit or changed teams due to the parents requests because they're like this coach is such a jerk

so at the beginning of the team like so so then ian was explaining like at the beginning of the season there's a big draft and I don't know enough about all competitive baseball and stuff but it sounds kind of intense There's a big draft and there's majors and there's minors Majors have 11 and 12 year old kids on them and then they also have any kid

that they think could be younger than that but that could play up and then minors is like all the rest of them um and so yeah so they're they get a call like the day of the draft and they're saying hey fyi madden can't play um madden's madden's not going to be uh playing this year you can't draft him um because he doesn't want to play and everyone's like oh wow he's the best player in the league blah blah blah, blah, blah. This is crazy. Um,

and, but we're like, okay, I guess that's kind of sad. Like we can't, we can't draft him. Um, and,

and this kid should have been playing in like, like he would be, he's, I think he's 11 years old. We'll be playing the majors. We'll be the best player in the whole like thing. Cool. Um,

so, um, anyway, then three days later, playing in the majors will be the best player in the whole like thing cool um so um anyway then three days later they get a call from madden's parents saying hey madden actually does want to play and wants to play for coach brad oh just ridiculous so not only is this 11 year old kid not playing in the majors where he should be playing and he's the best player in the thing but he's playing on the minors on the best team. And so it's like the beginning of the, the,

the league, like the beginning of the season, they have like a all-star recognition from all the players from last year. Every single player on the all-star team is on coach Brad's team, including plus this amazing Madden kid. It reminds me of, uh, and the movie kicking and screaming.

Yes. Uh, what's the name? Robert Duvall or whatever the coach will Farrell's dad. the movie Kicking and Screaming. Yes. It was named Robert Duvall or whatever the coach, Will Ferrell's dad. Like he's that kind of coach. Yeah. I want to know more details about how much of a jerk this guy truly is. But Ian's team, who's the second best team in the league played coach Brad's

team last week. Saturday, they lost 23 to zero. Okay. Yesterday, they lost 17 to one. And I mean, so Ian's like, it's complete Bush league. They're these kids are stealing bases. They're bunting when they're up by like 12 runs. Oh wow. And so Ian said, this is, I quote, I called him Bush league to his face, dot, dot, dot passive aggressively. I love the idea of him. Like, yeah, I mean, and I've called it, I mean, it's total Bush league. I said that to his face, you know, passive aggressively. It was more of a text.

I had my wife text his wife. So it was more like a Facebook post. There's a more ring doorbell post. So, I mean, Ian's their best second best team in the league. They're getting absolutely destroyed. So Ian's new strategy for this whole thing is he's going to take his seven year old, his youngest kid on this, and just pitch him the entire time. The kid can't throw strikes yet.

And so he's like, have fun getting walked for 45 minutes. So anyway, it's just this amazing conundrum of like, do I report this guy who's A, a tool, B, using illegal stuff, C, just dominating everybody because of somehow getting this amazing kid on their team. And so Ian's just trying to figure it all out, shaved and rolled bats. It is quite the coincidence of knowing a FedEx guy just dominating everybody because of like somehow getting this amazing kid on their team and so ian's

just trying to figure it all out shaved and rolled bats it is quite the coincidence of knowing a fedex guy and then the fedex side knows like sees this bat and i know it sounds like a movie like yeah it's like track down the address yeah brad anderson yeah i know that what that's from brad anderson i know that guy yeah how would the movie end What does he need to do? I think Ian needs to. If it's like he can't scream, he needs to find his Italians. I think it would be Puerto Ricans for baseball. Maybe. Go down to the Caribbean.

That's close to Hawaii. Build yourself a team. Yeah. And then come back. Well, no. If you're in Hawaii, you're closer to Japan. You go to Japan. Okay.

Yeah. Sure. And then I think you just do a lot of subtle, like, I know what's going on with you. And if you don't... You come in a gorilla costume. If you don't throw... If you don't throw this game, you're going to hear from me.

Yeah, like, remember the Titans. Everything is just a different sportsman than me. Yeah. If you... I'm going to tell the papers. I'm going to tell the papers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love the way he says papers.

Time and time, we're going to need to give you that clip. I'm going to tell the papers. I'll go he says papers. Time, we're going to need to give you that clip. I'm going to tell the papers. I'll go to the papers. I think it's not about really winning. It's about just like this guy's character. So it's not even about like, let's have them throw the game so that we win.

It's like, this guy just needs to be put in his place somehow, some way. That's the most important thing. Yeah. He needs to- Frame him for murder. Oh, just, yeah. Outside of baseball. Yeah. Forget baseball baseball who cares about winning the baseball game get some dna of somebody

who just died we need some rehabilitation in his life i mean if you have connection with fedex you probably have connections with the local mob or morgue at least or the more on some blood local morgue is what i meant to say yeah yeah yeah i think so um something like that i don't know i just i know that Ian's the kind of guy that's not going to just like sit sit there and take it, you know, I mean, he's not like the most confrontational. He's not a jerk, but he's also like he's going to stand up to somebody

does Ian listen to the potters like TJ started listening. Okay, it's Ian. Hey, I know you got my number now because you guys always freaking text every Wednesday night that I'm at premarital funny. You guys just I never started for the record. It's only happened twice, but just funny. The only time this group text has popped off has been Wednesday nights.

And they talk so consistently for two hours. I mean, my wrist is just buzzing for two hours. And then, like, nine o'clock rolls around. I'm like, hey, guys, what's going on? And nothing. Nothing. Like, cool, let's do this again next Wednesday. Anyway, Ian, text me.

Let's figure out how to frame this guy for something. Yeah. I think I'd be good at framing someone for murder. Yeah? Like, B minus. I mean, good enough. Yeah, this guy for something. Yeah. I think it'd be good at framing someone for murder. Yeah. Uh, like B minus. I mean, yeah, yeah. B minus.

Yeah. Good enough to get them some time before they figure it out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I just,

I mean, what, what, and you think about like, I, I like the seven year old thing until here's the bad thing. Madden comes up there with the shaved and rolled bat seven year old, just offering out

bean balls i mean just going throwing a 35 miles an hour and he finally throws one down the middle and madden just strikes one and it just goes straight back into that seven-year-old kid madden's so scary yeah put a helmet on the pitcher i think so that won't look weird yeah what are they doing these days for i'm sure they're doing something different for baseball safety you're seeing those like poofy hats that they wear some visors no they're like they're you know i'm talking about i actually don't know they're like massive like and i think the pitchers use them sometimes and they look hilarious interesting they're like they're not helmets but they're padded hats i've seen i know for

fast pitch like women's softball it's been a thing for a while the pitcher and even the third baseman sometimes to wear like a helmet with like a face mask. Oh, yeah. It's pretty calm. Yeah. Yeah, because it feels like the softball, you're so much closer. Yeah. Anyway. Indeed. Indeed. You are closer. Whew.

Anyway, Brad, you know you're talking to a guy who's verified on Instagram? Oh, my gosh. How does it feel? It was so funny, dude. I felt so bad. Isaac texted me because Isaac's about noticed it was like not even like

I posted anything I don't know how Isaac saw he's just on my own Instagram for some reason and he texted me individually he's like dude I probably care about this

more than you do but that is so cool you got verified dude like I'm just so pumped for you like that is just that is just unbelievable I can't believe

like that you are verified on Instagram just like the nicest text and then I was like, you deserve it, man. Long time coming, all your hard work.

Yeah. And I was like, dude, that is so nice of you. And like, thank you for saying all that. But like this morning, like they just rolled out meta verified and like,

I'm kind of testing it out. Cause it's probably something we'll do with like mood swings and jean shorts. And so I paid, I paid for it. And he's like, ah, dang it.

Dude, that's awesome that you can afford to pay for it though dude okay pretty cool that's 15 and that was just apple pay okay so you just double click so you use a credit card for that oh shoot it's a patreon video oh it's like jokes that's the other thing not worried uh what do i say here uh whatever forget it no i want it not worried about defining on patreon because it takes a credit card to find it oh yeah yeah yeah yeah um anyway um yeah so nice advising i've been wanting to like because i think here soon we're going to start seeing just everyone's verified on instagram it's not going to be cool for very much longer but while people still don don't know about it, I think I need to make some type of Instagram story

of just like how it feels now that I'm verified. And just like some funny story, just pushing Hattie down or something. I don't know what the story would be, but just something just like, I'm different now. You take a drink of your latte. You're like, excuse me.

What is this crap? I asked for one and a half pumps. This feels like two. I want Jamaica Me Crazy from Main Street Roasters, please. Please, and that only. And I want it for free because I'm verified. So just know, if you're a business out there trying to grow on Instagram, it's probably worth looking into.

From what I've heard and read, they guarantee you added security. Who cares? Added support could be helpful. And they even say added reach. so it's kind of now like a lot of companies are doing this now where they almost like you grow this following now you have to pay to reach your following i know kind of a thing it's very very frustrating but hey it's their company they do what they want yeah if you look at you just got to look at it as like a business expense like we pay how much for adobe you know products we pay how much for internet

right just part of the business now speaking of businesses speaking of video speaking of evolving you don't think you don't think you don't think you're back for another dude you don't think evolved videography is back baby they are back and um one thing I want to say right off the bat is that someone left a comment last week. Kinsey Peterson on her YouTube video. Kinsey should be advertising for us. She should be.

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. She said, okay, but yes, on caps, to wedding videography. I almost didn't do it, and I'm so grateful for mine. The pictures are great too, but there's nothing quite like a video

of all your loved ones partying and having a good time together so if that ain't the pish calling the posh black yes absolutely they asked me to say that sorry i had to say that verbatim yeah they said make sure you include pish and posh um if you guys don't know about evolved videography there are two ghosties jensen and tylerolzfus. Lovewood Ghosties sponsors. It's awesome. Ghosties sponsoring ghosties. They are

pursuing their dreams, filmmaking. They've been doing it for five years now. They're passionate about capturing lifelong memories through captivating storytelling. And yeah, they're the real deal. They go and they'll video your wedding. They do it at a really great price in my opinion, and they are top-notch. They know what they're the real deal. They, they go and they'll video your wedding. They do it at a really great price in my opinion. And they are top notch.

They, they know what they're doing. They're willing to travel all over the United States or outside of the United States. If you go crazy, just not Cuba or North Korea, North Korea. Yeah. So I, I mean, Jake obviously knows the value of this. We both do, but Jake knows from being the videographer how valuable not only getting video but having quality video can be um and yeah we're just so excited to to sponsor them as they sponsor us it's crazy to me how much more expensive wedding photography is than wedding

videography especially when you compare it to what you get back yeah oh video is just it's the way that you think you truly are like you get to see what happened it's like oh photos a thousand words it's like yeah okay cool but a video is a thousands of frames i mean literally might have a thousand words how you want to do it i mean if you want audio yeah we can get you a thousand words that's no problem so 100 i just in general this is a little bit off topic of evolved videography but just like i i do so many more videos than i do of photos of my kids because video is just yeah takes you into the moment you you know exactly what they were like when you watch the video whereas the photo it's like oh man i don't know what he sounds like in that picture you know

how many times are people like someone will have a big like facebook or instagram post is like see this old photo of me i might have been smiling but i was unhappy inside or whatever it's just way easier to like fake a moment with photography or video. It's like you get to kind of see what they're up to. Anyway. Still, yeah. Biggest regret of my wedding, not having a videographer. Check out Evolve Videography.

Thank you guys for that. Thank you guys. I mean, because thank you, Jake, first of all, for doing this podcast.

Thank you, CoGhost. Yes, but mostly thank the people listening and Tymon. You don't think it's because... What? Oh, sorry. You go ahead. What did you... That was weird.

In the middle of Brad thanking me, Tymon had both of his thumbs and he was pointing at himself. He's like, Jake's been doing this for four years. What about me? Pointing at himself. Direct correlation. Look at the slope meter here, huh?

I feel like we had to say something. Think it's a coincidence I also live in Kansas City? Yeah. Anyway, so that's kind of fun. I just like, anytime I notice that or like,

I feel like i gotta i gotta say something yeah that's it whatever i feel like i've a broken record but i'm always like it'll never get old that people like our podcast and listen to our i every once in a while when people dm me and ask me a question i'm in the car i'll just like voice memo them back and they'll be like i i can't believe that you just, that you just sent me a voice. Like, I can't believe that you're actually talking to me and said my name. And I'm like, well, why?

I'm just a normal, like if you, if you saw the crappy truck that I drove, like you would not be intimidated by me at all. You know? Yeah. It's just wild that people continue to want to listen to us. And, um, anyway, it's just fun. I always try to put myself in their shoes and like that probably would be fun. Like someone you listen to all the time and then you get to hear their voice in person

yeah i could see why that'd be fun i would love to meet the podcasters that i listen to yeah well that is your voice that's how technology works i guess that's wow the logic checks out i'm just taking a while to process he's driving yeah while using this phone just like i do like i do this guy um i checked the Mood Swings videos. Let's see how it's doing. Come on. Great. Just a mix of comments here.

Oh. One says, this is a super fun video. Okay. I like that comment. Next comment. WTF is a YouTube golfer. Is a YouTube golfer? Yeah.

What is a YouTube golfer? Okay. You probably know. You're on YouTube. You're watching golf content. You probably figured out. next uh youtube cook like what's that mean well it's like a cook that's on youtube that's uh next um comment one of the best pieces of golf content i've ever seen very creative and fun okay very fun comment comment. The hand movement on FaceTime is so cringy. The hand movement?

I don't know. Just the way I talk to people, I guess. I can't wait to comment on this video. Just make this guy's day messing with his hand movement. What? I don't know what that means. Just gotta laugh at it. No, we're not just gonna laugh at it.

Brad's gonna get in there. M laugh at it. Let's, let's know. We're not just going to laugh at it. Brad's got to get in there. Mood swings, golf. Let's see. Oh, timing you and me. Come on, get on there.

We're talking to, we're talking to hand movement guy. Um, Oh yeah. Let me, let me get down there. Oh, the top,

the first comment just says, nice, nice, better than nothing. Nice. That's kind of funny. I'm just going to, I'm going just going to find this hand movement real quick. It's funny, too, when people will make fun of something

that you already made fun of. I was on the green. I was like, all right, I think this putt's uphill. It's breaking right to left. And I know I got my pants hemmed too short, okay? Stop looking at them. My pants are hemmed. Oh, those pants that you had to like?

Yeah, because they are hemmed too short, and I'm self-conscious about it. And then this guy is like, yeah, quite the vibe with the short pants. Yeah. Hey, I think... I know. You know, you're a YouTube golfer, not a YouTube fashion golfer. Tymon's comment is in.

Just refreshed, and I saw it. What? This is the most fascinating and wonderful piece of art I've ever seen in my lifetime. Slash, it changed my life. I'm going to comment back to that and say yeah, but the hand movement on FT

cringe. I'm excited to go back and see what my hand movements were like. I'm sure they were just like a normal hand. I can guarantee you. I know what Jake's hand movements are. It's excited to go back and see what my hand movements were like. I'm sure they were just like a normal hand. I can guarantee I know what Jake's hand movements are. It's going to be this. Da-da-da. Da-da-da-da-da. This is it. Like this. It's not

cringe. It's just you moving your hand. It's just you talking with your hands every once in a while. Probably. I don't think it's going to change how I talk to people in the future. No. Definitely should not. Every time. Here's... If anyone's a content creator, here's my advice to you. Anytime you get a good comment, see that person as the the smartest just wisest person who left you that affirmation anytime you get a negative comment picture them as just some idiot middle schooler who doesn't

know they're left from their right and be like why would i let that affect me they don't even know what they're doing yeah yeah so i just how you perceive it like yeah whoever john c is that guy's a moron why would i trust his opinion on anything i i'm glad he doesn't like the way i facetime time and responded back to that one the hand moving on this is so cringe dude i know it seriously took me out of the moment that's awesome good for you time become become the troll i love all this random video like it's probably just going to get so many random comments from ghosties now like yeah not even people that watch mood swings 100 this specific video yes you guys go comment you gotta watch the whole thing okay don't hurt the retention just to comment like. Michael Morris, dude. I can't believe you. Oh, Brandon Scharf.

What? Oh. Matt Scharf. Matt Scharf. Oh. Oh, Ryan Sheckler. Josh Mayer. Oh, you got a girl on here?

Fernando Tatis. Whoa. Whoa. Is that Kardashian? Oh, Garrett Clark. I know my guys. I don't know that girl. What was that girl's name? Claire Hogle. She was signed tacoma claire hogel with the co yeah cool that's wild man um kind of

fun anything else you want to end with i have one more thing just do it and it could be saved for another time where it's not the very end of an episode no you never know you could die tomorrow um i just i just want to know, I forget exactly what the context was when I wrote this down, but I just wrote down, where would Rachel draw the line for weddings? Because I think that she is so affirming and so kind and so like,

you have an idea and I think she'll, for the most part, I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but have you had many ideas where you guys aren't doing them? No. I genuinely, oh, I think when we, but have you had many ideas where you guys aren't doing them? No, I genuinely like I. Oh, I think when we it was it was the mustache thing. Like it was like would Jake like would Rachel say like you have to shave your mustache?

No, no, we talk absolutely wouldn't. And so then where would she draw the line? Yeah. Like if you were like, hey, I really want to wear a tan on tan suit with tan loafers, and I'm going to shave my head bald. Is that okay? She'd be great with the tan and all the outfit stuff. She would not let me do anything to my hair.

She really likes the hair. Really likes the hair. But she would let, if I was like, hey, I think what if all my groomsmen had like different colored suits? She'd be like, oh, that that's fun she might say that yeah like let's like how ridiculous can we get on this like like hey bow is gonna be the ring bear um but we rent it out i mean we're pretty sure it's a trained bear um and so it's going to be two ring bears bow and those bear they're gonna walk down he might ride it he might walk we't know, but it will be a small bear.

Yeah. More of a cub. The ring bear. Yeah. Ring bear. Was she? Yeah, I think she'd be down with a bear.

Is she scared of anything like that? You know, of like, like, what is she scared of? Good question. See, this is this is a counseling.

Do you want me to just do a maybe next episode? We just do a little premarital counseling. I was on my dad last night. He maybe next episode, we just do a little premarital counseling? I was talking to my dad last night. He's like, you know what? I've been meaning to give you guys some.

I was like, let's do it right now. Okay. Anyway, yeah. Where would she draw the line? I mean, she would probably draw the line to anything we're doing. I mean, she's still like a woman who likes things to look nice and has always envisioned her wedding looking a certain way. So I think she'd be like, hey, can we not do like a skull and crossbones centerpiece?

You know, like she would draw the line there, I think. What about like... She wants it to look nice. What about if you were like, we can do the same flowers, but do you mind if on our tablecloths we just have Mickey Mouse? Like the Fantasia Mickey Mouse.

You know, the one with the top hat, like the cool hat. And he's got like a wand or something. Like, do you mind if we just have a bunch of those like patterned on our, on our, like I've always wanted that. Honestly, think about that. I know.

She would say yes. She would probably be like, I mean, it's the only like one thing he really wanted. And you know, you would say yes to that, dude. You're like, you know what? That's fine. Okay. Since we got on the tablecloths, like, can we also do it printed on the backs of each chair?

Can our first dance song be Crazy Frog? Yeah. Isn't that cool? Or like the Six Flags theme song one? Yeah. Something like that? Do you mind? Do you mind?

I mean, it would be so funny. People would laugh so much. It's hilarious. Yeah. Like, I want to find the line. That's pretty funny. I don't know It's hilarious. Yeah. Like I want to find the line. That's pretty funny. I don't know what it is. Yeah.

Well, we chat with Rachel report back next week. Okay. Try to figure it out. What did you dance to Catherine with? Uh, for the record, it was very original at the time.

Cause it had just come out. It was forever like that by Ben Rector. Oh, that's still great. It's a great song, but I feel like it's been used. I think we're the first people that I know of to use it. Yeah.

And then of course now it's like very common. Yep. Would you and your mom dance? That's a good question. I was just, I knew you were going to ask. I'm trying to remember. I think it might've been my,

my dad and I danced to a crazy train by Ozzy Osbourne. Yeah. But we did slow dance. That's good. Not together, but just like on two separate sides of the dance floor. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I the dance floor. Going off the rails. Is it kind of acoustic? Yeah. And then we do like back and forth and go. Yeah. Yeah. So I think maybe my mom and I were,

it's a wonderful world or what a wonderful world. I can't remember. Mom, I'm sorry. If you know, let me know.'s a wonderful world or what a wonderful world i can't remember mom i'm sorry if you if you know let me know just what a wonderful world i see trees red roses too do you know what you're doing uh rachel and i had one picked out for a long time like oh yeah for sure that'd be fun but i don't know about me my mom i maybe i'll give her like three options and let her pick one okay or see if she has any strong thoughts do you want to share you and my mom. Maybe I'll give her like three options and let her pick one. Okay. Or see if she has any strong thoughts.

Do you want to share you and Rachel? Yes. It'll be a song, Heavenly Light by Wilder Woods. Oh, you guys love Wilder Woods. Yeah. A wilder kick right now. Yeah. Yeah.

Fun. That'd be fun. I'm sure your mom's researched different songs. Yeah. For all I know, she's been doing all this research. For all I know, she has like three different choreographed dances to each song. Hey, extra lean coach. You can make it happen. Oh, that'd be fun.

I don't think we'll do that. One, two, three, four. Have you seen some of those videos where they're making fun of cheer music? It's really well done because they'll do it with their own voice, but it's like they're doing all the remixes themselves. One, two, three, four. Let's go, Patriots. Mix it up. You know, whatever're doing all the remixes themselves one two three four let's go

painters mix it up you know whatever like all that just like things like i didn't feel like i knew that culture very well but i saw the tiktok and i was like wait yes yeah i do know what you're half-time show yeah yeah oh that's this crazy mashup of songs and ad libs and djs yeah the the pace is getting thrown off and oh i feel like i could try to do that i can't do it right now because my voice is all jacked up but that would be fun all you need to do is just hear one and like oh i can recreate this oh that's so funny because yeah it's always like like just like four seconds of like something else really quick like give me a beat beat beat and it's like and then you do something else and everyone goes nuts to it or whatever and it's like some old

song yeah some you know fergie but then that's slowed down with this new like tsob and it's like this is just overload right now right good time good times man good times what do you a comment of the week oh i do i do i'll start okay um mine's from i'm just kidding brad uh it's from charlie he said can we get a segment called timon says it's where Timon tells you to do something. I know that's pretty vague, but I want to see it. Do something. Timon Says. What's the segment, Timon? Well,

the first one is is funny and the second one is just so nice. So the first one's from Angela Birdwell. During the Christmas holidays, we somehow set our Alexa to automatically start playing Christmas music just before 6 p.m. every night. It's April and we still haven't figured out the correct words to tell her to stop playing Christmas music. So every evening we hear a snippet of music until we tell her to stop. If anyone knows what to tell her, or if we have to go online to make it stop, please let me know. That's really funny. That's great.

Um, so yeah, I just love the idea of like every single night, you know, you know, turn it off. Yeah. Alexa,

stop. No, sorry. That triggered a lot of people probably. Um, all right. And then the, the sweet one, I mean, we could say his every time. This one's lot of people probably. Um, all right. And then the sweet one,

I mean, we could say his every time this one's great. Patrick drama. Uh, I just feel the need to comment about everything I love about every single episode. Every time I had to listen to this episode back two or three more times, just cause how great it was. Um, not great grammar there, but, um, no, the amount of times I was dying, laughing, listening to this. So from all the puns made with duct tape and trike bucks, I really had to focus on myself as I was driving down the freeway. Oh, and the part where Brad described how irritated he is about Ace Hardware Lady had me
