Okay, Brad, I've been flying a lot lately. Congrats. Thank you. And I feel like every flight is pretty much the same. It's an early flight. I sleep the whole time and I get off the plane and I say thank you to the stewardesses. Yes. Steward.

What would be the male steward? Steward. Stew. Stew. Yeah. And I say thank you to the pilot. I don't know why, but I said something other than thank you to the pilot. I think I just, I woke up.

It was a good sleep. And honest to God, hand on the Bible, I got off the plane and I told him goodnight. No. Yeah, I don't know. And it was early in the morning? Yeah, it was like 7.30. All right.

I don't know. Hey, goodnight. I had my AirPods in too, so like I don't have a great idea of how loud it was either. And I just was like, what is wrong with you? You just told him good night. I had my AirPods in too, so I don't have a great idea of how loud it was either. And I was just like, what is wrong with you? You just told them good night. Do you ever, I've fallen asleep on some planes recently. Do you ever feel weird thanking the stewardesses

or flight attendants, excuse me, like when they didn't do anything for you? Like the pilot, I'm very thankful for. Flight attendant, thanks for nothing. Yeah. Would have appreciated a Coke Zero to go, you know? Yeah, I also very thankful for. Thanks for nothing. Yeah. Would have appreciated a Coke zero to go, you know? Um,

yeah, I also have a story. I've, it's kind of funny cause I like unintentionally didn't tell Catherine for like a week and a half after this happened. So then when I did tell her, it was like, made me feel very guilty about it.

Um, so on the way to Scottsdale, we were all, it was gunner, me, Garrett, we were getting in the plane and I did the little, uh, early bird special on Southwest, paid

another $15 for a better boarding position. So I was up there without them. And yeah, there was this woman right in front of me who had, she was going to Scottsdale for her bachelorette party. She had the bride sash and like all this stuff. And I mean, she was young, but I didn't find her especially attractive or anything. I promise. I was like trying to emphasize that to Catherine. And as we're walking on the plane, she's right in front of me. She goes through and people are getting really excited. Like,

oh, bride, bride. And then this, you know, flight attendant sees me and he's like, oh, is this the groom? And I kind of laughed. I was like, no, no, I wish. And I was like, why did I say that? Like, yeah, I had my wedding ring on and everything. And I was like no no i wish i was like why'd i say that like yeah i had my wedding ring on and everything i was like i don't know if it was just as weird like i i just i just i didn't know what else to say so i wish i was like oh and so then i didn't tell katherine for a while and she's like why why did you say that and then you told us around some chips and queso a few days ago, and it was awesome. And I said, good night. 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, because this is the Ghost Brothers Podcast. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking with a very fun episode for you guys. Yes. Because this is one of the only times we've ever done a podcast with a live studio audience. Yep, baby.

Make some noise. Yeah. Very fun. This is all. That was like, they were like doing like a pan, pan, pan, but it was sounding like a

meow, meow, meow. Yeah. A meow, meow, meow, meow. Yeah, it's been so fun. You guys have heard us been hyping it up and talking about it for months, but it's finally happening.

We're on the Ghost Hunters getaway Florida trip. We got 30 people packed in this living room right now, and it's been, it's been really, really fun. We have a lot to talk about. Oh yeah. It's, and it's just been the perfect weather the entire week. That's why we're filming inside. You know, just if only there was a, like a, you know, a rhyme to remember that April rains a lot, you know, April rains bring may, you know, good would be nice april rains bring may you know good stuff they said april showers i don't know bring whatever but no pain we had no idea that was going to rain the not in the entire

week but it's it's been a little rainy but it has not turned down the vibes has it not even close so yeah it's been good and it's a good excuse to come in and podcast and we shot a g-tricks video also while it was raining and so yeah uh but yeah i think we're just gonna walk you guys through um what this week has looked like maybe some fun stories we got a third mic here if anyone feels like they're being misrepresented or you know i need to tell their side of the story um you hop on here but um i guess we'll start with uh we flew in early yeah for all the ghosties me you tuesday katherine and isaac yes fun crew it was a great crew yeah you guys had to get up. You and Isaac got up at the wee bit of...

Yeah, our flight was five something, three hour layover. And, but yeah, we got here and we went to our first Airbnb, which is not, it does not sleep 36 people. And it was in like, like Shrek's swamp. Yeah, dude. Or something, I don't know.

It was like the bad part of florida like yeah and the swamp didn't even really have water it was like a drained like not even a successful swamp like yeah yeah it was the kiddie pool of swamps like it had you could wait in it maybe uh so it wasn't that nice but all we really needed to do was sleep there and uh but it was kind of fun because we uh we were reading through the guest book and some of the the guest book entries were like saw five snakes in the swamp um which i don't know if it was a positive or negative. But then they also said, saw one dolphin in the creek, which if you had seen the creek, there has never been a dolphin in this creek ever.

No, no, this place was like a landfill. Yeah, it was like, I don't know what the piping was. I don't know if it was sewage or water or something. But I mean, just exposed piping everywhere. I don't feel like dolphins aren't showing up. If the dolphin was there, it was like floating ashore because it was dead from whatever the water was there. Saw a sleeping dolphin. But I will say Isaac and I were intrigued by this. And so we went out there to like look for snakes, look for anything. The only thing we found really was mosquitoes. But like on the dock,

we like went, we're like, what if we see an alligator? Which is like the most like Midwestern thing ever to be like, I bet there's alligators here bro you know it's like yeah and so we're on this dock and we're walking around and isaac's like dude look at all these minnows right here and so i step forward to look at the minnows and i bet if i had my foot on this wooden plank for another half second i would have been in the swampy lake thing like it was it was this completely rotten piece of wood on this deck or dock. And I, I mean, it cracked quick and Isaac started dying laughing. I, I was laughing hard, but good thing you're split footed. Good thing I am fleet foot. Yes. That night we also went to the cutest little restaurant. Oh boy, did we? What was it? Catherine chose it. I mean, it's just a great choice by Catherine. We were

trying to figure it all out and you know, it's, it's, you know, it's Jake, me, Isaac and Brooks, Catherine's brother. Who's our private chef for the week. Yeah. Give it up for Brooks. Come on, Brooks. And yeah, just amazing food all week. Um, and then there's Catherine. So there's four guys in Catherine and you know, they had a few suggestions or like this pizza place looks good. And Catherine's like, I don't know. That place looks kind of basic. I don't know that place. I don't know what her reasoning for not willing to go to this pizza place was. She's like, well, this place called Belly Full has good reviews and it's suggested by the people at the Airbnb. And so we're like, great. We go there and it's like worse than any of the other places,

like ambiance wise. It is not like the classic cute 30A. It is a hole in the wall kind of place. And tell them about our waitress and the changing of the names of the pizza. I thought that was really funny. Oh, yeah. She was like, I think, just trying to be like this cool waitress. They had pizza. I mean, they had random stuff,

but we ordered pizza. I ordered pizza. I ordered the spaghetti pizza. Yeah, spaghetti and meatballs. Not as good as you think it'd be. Shocker. It had spaghetti like underneath the cheese. Jake's like, yeah, no, I think I want that one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of red meat too, so I didn't really get to eat much. I was really worried, by the way. Yeah, you ordered the same with red meat. You're like, I can just pick it off. And I was like, dude, if you get sick this entire trip, like, so you did. Had to roll the dice. But yeah, so I ordered pizza and then someone else ordered pizza.

And so she was like, oh, this always happens. You know, a couple of weeks ago, we changed the names of the pizza and i mean just been going nuts ever since this woman was convinced and and the name like the change of like the name change was i think i ordered like the meat lovers pizza but they call it the meats pizza now just like you know ever since we changed it to the meats people are loving this thing and we're like oh yeah no that makes sense. I'm like, I think I would have ordered it no matter what. You can tell she was the one who suggested like maybe we changed the names and now she's like, I mean, you're very proud for all the

business. Yeah. Then we had this kid, we didn't know his age because people don't usually ask strangers their age, but you thought he was like 13. I said 13. I said 17. I was like, that kid looks like he shaves, but he doesn't drive here himself yet. Like he's, he's able to, but he doesn't. Uh, but we had not gotten our food yet. Like they did the thing where they like, we ordered, they bring out the plates to, you know, let us eat afterwards and, or not eat afterwards, but like when they bring out the food, we have our plates and he comes up to us like five minutes later. He's like, you guys all finished here. You guys ready to clean up? we looked around like what we just sat here there's nothing as i was like you think he's like he's like oh that makes sense that makes so i was about

to say you guys are the cleanest eaters i've ever seen i was like the napkins are on top of the plates like unused i was like see he is 13 yeah 17 year old makes that maybe so so anyway that was the first night well also the first night was when he put all the goodie bags together yeah that's when it started getting real we yeah yeah so so tell them about the goodie bags i'll tell them about the goodie bags so i think uh they're not technically a podcast sponsor but vulcan yeah yeah yeti but uh they're great um dusty is a listener he works for vulcan he's been listening for years and so we've had this kind of relationship trying to figure out something for Gene Short, something for Ghostrunners. And even though they're not technically sponsoring it, they still are like, hey, we want to

get the ghosties something. And boy, did they. Yeah, they did. They got each person like a $150 pickleball paddle for free in there. What's it inside of? Probably just like a normal drawstring bag. Like a burlap sack. You know, just something

you could find with some potatoes in it. They just dump out the potatoes, right? That's the thing, Brad. Not even close. No. A very nice embroidered screen print. Personalized. I don't know this industry. Personalized with

each person's name on the bag. It said Ghost Runners. Really nice bag. We dumped everything in there. Vulcan's this industry personalized with an each person's name on the bag it said ghost runners really nice bag so we dumped everything in there so volca has been great they were awesome and then inside of it was um a tumbler filled with some goodies from main street roasters street roasters shout out and also we had uh the ghost runners does anyone have the ghost runners t-shirt oh oh okay patrick you want to show them yeah yeah, yeah. Show the shirt. So that's pretty fun. And what else was inside of there?

We had a trike sampler pack. We had a schedule for the week, which I worked way too hard on for something that changed very quickly. And, oh, we had the signed plywood. Like, from the original plywood walls from your basement. I cut up some of that and we signed pieces of that for them. Yeah. If you guys were listening, watching in 2020, the blue walls were pretty fun. And anyway, when we tore it down, we were like, let's keep some of these.

I don't know what for, but we'll need them someday. Yeah. It was crazy though. Like putting it all together. That was when it was like so fun to anticipate because we were like, all right, what size shirt do we need for the, you know know we're like doing this assembly line thing we're like okay brandon like i don't know we don't who's brandon again i'll figure it out you know it was like it was like we knew we knew names we didn't know their personalities yet and then all

of a sudden we've become friends with all these people and so fun so i was trying my best going off of basically zero information to match up pickleball paddles with the people yeah i don't know what like data i thought i was like lisa's gonna want this one i think for sure yeah absolutely okay that was the most work i've done all week was that um yeah that was the first night and then uh next day was wednesday and that was when everyone got here it was fun a lot of airport runs win on a wednesday oh boy uh That was great. Yeah, that was just so fun. Starting to slowly pick people up.

And a lot of people drove, but we're still picking people up from the airport. And yeah, people were just slowly getting here. And 5 p.m., the gates opened. Yes. And we had a fun little evening. Had a little orientation to start it off. Yep. You want to tell them about the barking?

Oh, yeah. So throughout the day, the rental company that we rented this house through kept calling me. And I'd also called them for different things, but they kept calling me and they're like, hey, just wanted to know, this is Eric from 360 Blue. Just curious, do you guys have a dog in your house? We've been hearing some barking from some of the maintenance guys have come. And I'm like, no, no dog.

And then, you know, 15 minutes later hey this is you know sadie from 360 blue just checking in uh you know there's the strict no pets policy right and we're like i i promise we don't have a dog i think i got three calls like that and then so then that night at the orientation i was like so let's pull a prank on some people and if you don't know what else to say in conversation you know first night you get to know people you don't know what else to say in conversation, you know, first night you get to know people, you don't know the next question to ask, just, just let out a quick bark, you know? Yeah. So, uh, Brandon named it the dog house. Yeah. So here we are. But also our neighbors have dogs. Yes. It's sad about it's like, Hey, yeah. Sherlock Holmes. It's probably next door. Like how hard is this to figure out? It's not us. I ain't no rat, but like maybe look

around. Yeah yeah check on the other side of the fence yeah somebody's got a dog yeah so that was kind of a fun way to start but yeah the first night we kind of yeah did a quick orientation then we also introduced uh some competition that we've been doing the entire time uh basically we're using rubber bands as currency show them the bands jacob hello here are the bands so uh yeah yeah ruffle them up there uh so we've just been doing random games random things i've we kind of have just like hidden like easter egg bands around i love hiding bands uh and it's fun to like watch somebody see like wait uh the best the best hider of the band was definitely isaac mcdonald yeah he went all out so is he here is

he around there's ike you want to come talk about uh your your perfect band uh hiding there's a mic right here for you yeah so first and foremost let me just shout out let me shout out isaac mcdonald so isaac uh obviously he was our mystery guest we didn't tell anybody he was coming super special um and then accidentally when we picked up uh some of our first we picked up up Rachel and Kaylee, right? From the airport. We just kept telling stories like, oh, and then, you know, yesterday, Isaac was putting the stuff in the bag or Isaac and I were on this dock and whatever. And then we're like, oh, I can't wait for you guys to meet our mystery guests. You're like, you realize

you've said his name like 10 times. Like, ah, cool. But Isaac has been honestly invaluable on our trip, just serving so well alongside Brooks, getting everything ready, getting the vibes up, being very relational, but also just very servant-hearted. I think, how many trips to the airport do you think you made that first day? I just made two. Oh, okay. Yeah, just two. Just two. So not that great.

You could have done better. But one of them, I mean, Adam. The second one was late, yeah. Kosh didn't get in he was very delayed and so he was uh not until like midnight or something like that but adam and i we had a good time didn't we adam come on baby yeah we had a good time so um anyway but uh yeah we've we've been doing this rubber band game a lot of it's just like hey let's play a game and if you win you get a rubber band and at the end of the week there's gonna be prizes for the rubber band but we've also hidden some around and i think

uh isaac had the best hiding spot of all so go ahead and uh just gonna walk through your your creative process for how you did this and exactly what it was yeah there was a lot of thought that went behind it um not really i just i saw jake with the bag of bands i'm like hey can i have something to hide around like that sounds fun um so I threw some in some normal hiding spots, some in the boy's bathroom, some didn't, didn't throw any in the girl's bathroom, but, uh, sexist around the house. And I saw a bag of Cheetos up here, bag of chips. And I was like, how do I get a band in here? But seem it like, make it seem like's a a brand new bag of cheetos um so then i went around i was like okay someone a lady has to have a curling iron or like a straightener um i didn't ask didn't ask uh you know patrick for a straightener but patrick do you have a straightener

i might have do you who knows you have a hair straightener there was one in the boys bathroom oh i wonder where I got that. Thank you, Miss Rachel. So Rachel, she had a curling iron. So just like a round, if you're a guy and you don't know what that is, it's just a round hot rod. We'll call it that. Hot rod. Good movie.

Yeah, yeah. So I got that from Rachel and I opened a bag of Cheetos, got a couple rubber bands, put them in there. And I was like, this is going to be easy. And so heated up to about 405 degrees and, um, just put the iron straight on the bag and it just melted through it and just ruined. Not, it didn't ruin it, but it, it got some like plastic or whatever on the curling iron. I'm like, okay, I got to figure out, I'm not giving up here. I got to figure out how to do this. Um um so then i cleaned it up a little bit and got a new bag of cheetos and second time around i was like i'll put a paper towel or not a paper towel like a little towel on top of the bag and

put the the iron up to that little towel top technique yeah and that wasn't working too well either and so oh no no then i took a rubber band and put it inside. I'm like, maybe I can melt the rubber bands so that it sticks and stay shut after it like dries or whatever. That didn't work. But finally I was able to melt just a little bit of the bag and keep it closed. So I got the bands in there and then I put the Cheetos back. And then he played it really cool. Yeah.

That was what I was going to say. Yeah. So first of all all i'm down like sprinkling some around the outside and i see isaac come down with this cheetos bag and a curling iron like what are you doing hot rod oh sorry uh long hot rod and uh and man he's like dude i'm i'm gonna do this thing with i was like that's so fun it was so fun i was like that's great and then yeah not 10 minutes after he brings back up this cheetos bag and puts it on the table with the rest of the chips he's like and fyi if anybody wants to eat some cheetos there's cheetos over here like we just had dinner and dessert and we're in the middle

of playing games i was ready for someone to open it i'm like i'm just gonna eat cheetos like how often are people actually eating cheetos and the funny thing was like jake and i leaned into it so like probably five times after and by the way there are Cheetos still over here, guys. I was supposed to let you know. Cheetos. And then finally, I think somebody kind of. It took a while, though. If I didn't say that, it would have been.

Somebody started to kind of catch it onto it. Would have been a while. And then Lisa Gluck, yeah, opened it up, found some Cheetos in there. And then everyone else was opening the other bags. And they're like, I just opened up and ate all these Cheetos for nothing. But it was amazing. Yeah, that was fun. That was a good time.

Thanks for letting me hide bands. Yes. Yeah. That was a good time. Thanks for letting me hide bands. Yes. Love hiding bands. I've also really enjoyed just throwing bands. You hear rappers talk about it. I see why they like it so much. It's like rabid dogs. You throw a rubber band in the middle of a circle of 10 people, they will dive for it. Yeah, it reminds me of feeding

fish at a marina. 100%. It's a little inhumane but man is it yeah yeah janelle and lisa dive at each other last night uh so yeah the band's been fun we're doing all sorts of different games and competitions to earn bands uh we did um puzzle town was uh probably the most electric one we just got like a little like 25 piece very tiny small puzzles and just like head-to-head match-ups 2v2 match-ups Catherine was kind of like the boss level that you work your way up to

yeah and you get to play the boss and there's different you know band payouts if you beat Catherine or right beat people by certain piece amounts so it was great I was very impressed by and she was like oh I'm gonna be very good at the puzzle thing and I was like yeah you don't know though and man was she she was zooming she uh also she did get beat her first game, Sarah Flippo. I think, right. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe the true, yeah. The true champion of it all. So, um, yeah. So let's see, let's go back. So Thursday, um, just the first full day there, uh, you guys went golfing. There's like what, seven of you that went golfing, seven of us who went golfing and seven of us on the entire golf course because it was

raining that whole day. You ever played golf when it rains the whole time? Not the whole time. Yeah, no, it's special. It's not bad. Honestly, when we walked into the pro shop, the guy already had the radar pulled up and he was just mad that we were there. I don't know. Yeah, he's like, this is going to be an off day for me. I'm going to be able to go home. Maybe.

Yeah. So anyway, he already had the radar pulled up and swivels his screen around. He's like, this is going to be an off day for me. I'm going to be able to go home. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. And so anyway, he already had the radar pulled up and like swivels his screen around. He's like, you want to pay for this? And, you know, yeah, Laura was trying to get out of it. But I was just like, yeah, you know, we're from out of town. We drove like an hour here. I, you know, shipped my clubs. Yes, we are. We are playing here.

Yeah. And anyway, it ended up being really fun. I think everyone had a really good attitude and we're just like hey it's still i rode around the car with daniel ming it was a good time we were like hey we're still it's not a good time it's warm still it's warm rain yeah and um that does make a difference yeah so yeah it was fun yeah i feel like as far as like people coming to florida for a wonderful beach vacation first day just downpouring rain everyone had a very good attitude about it i was like okay we got to figure out some way to pass the time and make some fun fun things happen so back at the house we did a little bit of speed

connect four missed out on that i was like because i was trying to stimulate the uh economy of bands economy and so i was like hey if you can beat me in speed connect four i'll give you a band and then i tried to get make it more complicated like, hey, if you beat me and you wager a band, then I'll give you three bands. No one really took me up on that. But I tried to make it more crazy and everything. But yeah, it was like pouring down rain. We're like underneath the little deck area playing Speed Connect 4. We played some 0 to 100 game where you basically just are trying to write from 0 to 100 on a piece of paper while everyone else is trying to stop you and it was fun

uh and then let's see thursday what else did we do we went to the pool oh we went to the pool yeah the pool was fun it was still like raining it was cloudy the entire time we're out there but i felt like an eight-year-old boy um yes. That was maybe weird, but I felt like I had fun with my eight-year-old friends. We were all eight years old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think you got it. I feel like, I don't know if that's truly the highlight of the trip for me, but that was a really fun time.

Some people were just hanging out around the pool. Other people were doing what Jake was doing, which was amazing. The day before, we went and got some acai bowls together and i went to go i wanted to get a ball so i could show everyone my cool physics trick where i jump in the pool send it to the moon and boy everyone saw it and i got to do it again and they went nuts again yeah i gotta dial it in now uh but yeah rachel pointed out she was like hey there's like a little like kid store over there it's like oh i'll go find my ball and then when i went in there, they had like some little like just water balls, a water volleyball. And I was like, you know, Brad and I didn't talk about this.

Is this in on the budget? I think it's going to be a hit. It's going to be a vibe. And so, yeah, I just bought some balls and that's really all you need in a pool. And so, yeah, we were kind of tossing around. We're playing some, oh, yeah. Playing for bands. Yeah.

I mean, we played 12 different games that day. Like, all right, jump in the pool and you have to answer a question incorrectly and also catch the ball. Right. You do that, band. All right, then we moved on from that. All right, you're going to get two balls thrown at you. We're going to tell you which one to catch. Yes.

Moved on from that. Dr. Ben Miller goes up to the third floor. Uh-oh. Yeah. Now we're in the big leagues. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's when it got crazy. He's like, I'm going to throw it down to you, catch it.

And it was so fun. Just watching you, Ben, Dr. Ben gonna throw it down to you catch it and it was so fun just watching you ben dr ben throw it down there it was just awesome and then eventually you guys were like catching it and throwing it to each other and then there was one time where ben threw it so so also ben's wife courtney has a cannon like yeah and remind me again has dr ben would anyone know him from the podcast um i don't recall do you know ben if anybody said i think he was the guy that pooped in it and had to you know transfer the poop with his pants down around his ankles yes i don't think it had to be around his ankles but i think he chose for them to be around his ankles uh yes that was dr ben

yeah fun to put a face to the poop. Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So fun. It was just great. We just jumped in the pool over and over again. The very next day, I don't know if this is a direct correlation, but my nose was very tender. The only thing I can attribute it to is I think just jumping in the pool over and over.

I think my nose just got hit. What? Like a hundred times. What else would it be? What else? Chlorine. Chlorine? No. I think it's the mid to some water. think my nose just got hit what like a hundred times what else would it be what else chlorine no i think it's i think it's the water yeah that's right um yeah it's a fun it was it was a blast in the pool just it was it was almost more fun for me trying to throw the ball back up into the third floor you know at this weird angle and everything. So, um, yeah,

it was a blast. And yeah, let's see, what else do we do a Wednesday? Any, any, any other memories from the pool that you guys loved, especially throwing the ball in the tubes? Of course. Yeah. They had these three like hose things and yeah, we're trying to get it in this little tube for the hose, this water feature, I guess is what you call it on a pool. And yeah, it was a good memory for Courtney cause she got it. And so she got the band. I think Thursday night is when we did a Simon says and a puzzle town. Yes, it was.

Um, and I, I was giving you a hard time because eventually people caught on to Jake's. Jake was really good at the Simon Says. Not good enough. Yeah. But then the second time they kind of caught on to like, when he's like, Simon says, put your hand up. Okay. Put your hand up.

Or Simon says, put your hand up. Or all that stuff. Harder than it looks. Harder than it looks. And then, but all he did was hands up, left hand up, right hand up, left hand down. And I was just giving a hard time, like do some other things. But that's all I have in the repertoire, speed you'll get there baby um anyway uh should we talk about one of our sponsors real quick before we forget to do that boy yes yeah um let's first

talk about uh we got a new sponsor okay oh oh oh oh yeah it's always so fun they actually shipped us something to the house here, which is great. Maybe you saw me taking a drink of this. You're probably thinking, wow, Jake has changed. Look at him drinking this. I know this doesn't look like something that I would typically drink, but I promise you I'm enjoying it. So let that be the sales pitch.

I don't even need to say anything else. I am drinking this and enjoying it. And you're liking it. Yeah, yeah. What is that? It is, well, the flavor is pink lemonade. Yeah. But it comes from a company called Beam.

Beam. Probably doesn't mean much. Turns out it does. It stands for Be Amazing. Be Amazing. Yeah. Be, be amazing. B-E-A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

Be amazing. Be, be amazing. I'm reading it. Yeah, you nailed it. That's exactly what they wanted us to say during that part. But yeah, this is great. There's like, well, I'm going to need to put this down. Just scroll on my computer.

But there's about, I want to say, give or take a million fruits and vegetables in this one drink. Yeah. All these little ingredients are what's in there. And they're all fruits and vegetables. So, yeah, they're just, they're a health company. And what separates Beam from maybe the other companies in their industry is that they control the entire process. Does that mean anything to you, Brent? 100%.

It means something to me. It means that they're amazing. A, amazing. B, amazing. Oh. No, I'm just kidding. A, amazing. I.

Go ahead. No, they're great. They take their quality seriously. They engage in third-party testing. Sure. Most just do second parties. Yeah. You're still too close to home. I don their quality seriously. They engage in third-party testing. Sure. Most just do second parties. Yeah. You're still too close to home. I don't trust them. Third-party, you can trust. They probably don't have a full vitamin blend, though, of A, C, E, and B.

A, C, E, and B, full vitamin blend. But yeah, okay, I found it. 28 fruits and veggies. Yes. Just in like this little packet. You can throw in some water and boost immunity, reduces bloating, improves digestive health and increases energy. You put with all four of those? Boy, am I. True story. I had some earlier. They shipped them all to us. I had some and I was like, I like that so much that I got a second, second helping. Second dosage. Second helping would be amazing. Yeah. You were, we were worried. You're like, am I going to, is anything going to happen if I drink this and just drink a gallon of this?

Feel good so far. Yeah, I'll let you know. Might be a little too amazing. I'm really enjoying it. So yeah, they've got these little packets. You could toss in some water, but they've also got some gut health probiotics. Hello. Which they got back here. You should touch it. I'm not going to hold it up. Well, we worked really hard to make this look really nice. It's right here. You can check that out. Go to, I believe it's YouCanBeam.

week friday what we do uh let's see. Oh, Friday, beautiful weather. I wrote non-stop action. Non-stop action. The only time we stopped having action was when we went to the pickleball courts and there was too much action already there. That's true. Elderly action. A lot of older people already play in there. Shout out to the Chrysler Pacifica

aka Daniel and Sarah Ming. Pacifica! Driving eight people, or no, ten people in there we get there and yeah up comes the trunk and is it patrick and gabe just comes out of the trunk and i'm like okay here we go we have some clips oh yeah put it in there time and put it in time and you have to yeah i didn't get a clip in time to put it in the edit but maybe it'll be on the facebook group i don't know stay tuned um but then yeah pickleball was too busy so we're like let's go to the beach and the beach was just vibing it was so fun yeah i also wrote down i said sports almost everywhere sunburn almost because we are we are torched because i was like

this is the only like sunny day in the forecast. Let's make the most of it. So we're outside all day. It was, I, I was so just physically exhausted. I had like four strawberries and like, um, like a little, like you were like nibbling granola without a spoon. Yeah. It was a pretty sad site for breakfast.

You're like having a conversation. Like, Oh really? Okay. Okay. Interesting. Yeah. Two hours from Philadelphia.

Okay. Interesting. So that's all I had for breakfast. And then it was like we finally get to the beach and we played some six-on-six volleyball, which high quality volleyball. Yeah. It was awesome.

Yeah. Good rallies. That was fun. Claps for volleyball. Yeah, we have so many volleyball people here. That was really, really fun. Played that for probably an hour and a half. Straight from there, then, you know,

Gabe and Maddie who brought like an entire dick's sporting goods in their car yeah they drove a civic here but you would have thought i mean it was like some magic where's the rv it was like the mary poppins or it was just like things kept coming out of the hat it's like what is going on here uh yeah so they had all sorts of stuff they you know got there early and set up the volleyball court and the lines. And they also had spike ball set up. And I was like, yeah, I'll play some spike ball. So then we went straight to that, played a couple games of spike ball.

Right after that, I'm sandy. I'm sweaty. All the sunscreen is running off of me. I want to get wet. Go in the ocean. It was a blast. Bigger waves than it looked from the shore. Yeah.

Powerful. Whipped you around real quick. Honestly, I remember checking the weather and being like, oh, there's like a you know a red like scary looking thing i was like was it thunderstorm oh no just rip current oh okay no please yeah like it didn't register and then i'm out there i'm like holy cow yeah it's powerful i feel like that often like it'll be like don't swim high risk of you know whatever i'm like i'm fine i'm a big guy yeah i got there was one wave daniel and i were out there there was one wave i got and I were out there. There was one wave. I got flipped over twice within like, I mean, I don't know. I didn't know I was able to do that.

It was just, it took me for a ride. I feel like I really bonded with Jensen and Gabe, like just trying to get out there to the waves. It was beaches of Normandy. And like, we were like, push forward soldiers. Come on, put your shoulder into it. Yeah. And it was, it was so exhausting just getting out to

the waves and then the first opportunity i took i was like all right i'll try to ride like try to like body surf this one and dude yeah i mean my head hit the sand i was rolling i was like i'm good i think yeah yeah you don't know which way is up which way is down yeah protecting my head totally i was like yeah um so got done with that and as soon as i get done just getting the daylights beat out of me by the ocean then they they're like, Hey, we're thinking about doing a Jetson's like, Hey, you want to do two on two volleyball? We're going to play against Gabe and Maddie. They play in a competitive grass doubles league.

I was like, yeah, of course. Why not? I'm the only person there who doesn't know hand signals. This was legitimate hand signals, hand signals. Like, Hey, in two on two, it's like, where are you blocking? Where are you serving? Um, stuff like that. Like, is it like while the balls in the air, they do signals to each other?

Sometimes. Really? Wow. Sometimes just before the serve. Hey, here's what I'm planning on doing. Here's where you should serve. Whatever. Anyway, just saying that was intense. All four of those things together. I went and looked at my like fitness thing for my watch. I spent 30 minutes. So playing two on two volleyball, I spent 30 minutes. My average heart rate was 162 for 30 minutes. I think I almost died yesterday. That's what I'm saying. Because I knew I was like, I'm very, very tired. But Jensen, it's

eight to seven. And yeah, I was close to dying yesterday. He's like just literally showing you eight and seven. You're like, I don't know those hand signals, dude. I don't know. Yeah, we did get torched by the sun um but yeah it was a great day in the beach overall and then we went and played some pickleball with some some uh people yeah we had very limited time but i was like i mean vulcan sent us all the paddle we gotta at least play

pickleball a little bit right so we got like 45 minutes of pickleball in yeah and the 45 minutes was enough for me to sweat like a really sweaty person. Oh, really? Yeah. Put it like that. It was wild. Yeah. And then we came back from that, and we got ready to go on our Caribbean cruise. Tom Cruise.

You married to her? No, we went on a sunset cruise. That was another highlight for me. I thought that was really fun. Amen? Oh, amen. Preach it. Just testify. was another highlight for me i thought that was really fun um amen oh amen just testify um so yeah we went to that it was a little bit of a drive which was fun i got some great time in my car i don't know about your car i didn't get great time not a good time okay no i got great time we

all went around and talked about uh our parents oh dang it sorry talk about good time we'll get there next time yeah that's sweet it sweet. It's fun. Just like favorite cookies of your parents or like anything specific? It was like tell everyone say like just describe your mom. Describe your dad. Cool. Fun. Yeah. No

cookies. No cookies. And then we got to the yeah. We got to the cruise. Cruise was awesome. Cruise was vibe. Well first of all., we were, yeah, we get Amanda. We're nowhere to be found. Wait, I didn't know about this. Oh, I was freaking out. Yeah, we couldn't find Kelsey and Amanda.

Yeah. And so I win. Like when, when, uh, girl is, you know, Captain Legtat was like giving us the instructions. Like we're about to leave. And I was like, we don't have like Kelsey Madison. I'm like hurrying, going in Google drive, finding the emergency contacts, not emergency contact, but that sheet we have. And I found Kelsey's number, texted her.

Here are you on the boat? She's like, yeah, I'm sitting by the bar. I was like, yeah. I declined your call on my watch. I was like, who is this? You declined the call. Yeah, I called and I was just like, oh, cool. No, just making sure you're hydrating no just thinking about you you know just uh didn't know if you knew the end signals

for get on the boat um yeah so we first get on the boat i don't know about y'all but i was like okay they way overbooked this that's what i told rachel i was like they're making too much money yes and the captain gets up in front everyone's like hey is anybody on the 6 15 thing because it's the six o'clock one. And I was like, oh, good. Half these people are going to get off. Nope, like seven of them got off. And so it was still pretty packed the whole time.

But, man, it was fun. First of all, we got to see some dolphins as we're leaving. And I feel like most of us are from Midwestern areas. And so we were all just like, oh, dolphins. The fins. Look at those tails. like non-dolphin Midwestern areas. And so we were all just like, Oh, dolphins, the fins, those tails. Oh, uh, did you,

were you shocked at how slow the dolphins would, uh, uh, breach? Yeah, a little bit. That's what I said. I was like,

these are on a track. I thought they were like, yeah, staged in there. This is too perfect. They're just, I don't know. They were so slow.

It was like gravity worked different for the dolphins. They never jumped out. Oh, the second one, the second set did. Remember the second one later on? Oh, sorry. Go ahead. They also told us they're like, yeah, so you might see some dolphins. Also there's one whale here, which I, my theory is that that is just to get people to come back next time like we didn't see the whale let's come back next time keep your eyes peeled for the whale no shot the whale is in this like tiny little area where they're like there's live bait like being sold I don't know I yeah I've never heard of whales in Florida is that is that a thing I don't know but then later on in the cruise uh like they were like oh my gosh guys there are deer deer on the land

we didn't like and you should have seen how not excited we were as midwesterners for deer they were like, oh my gosh, guys, there are deer on the land. We didn't like... And you should have seen how not excited we were as Midwesterners for deer. We're like, we see those all the time. I feel like the dolphins are coming out of the water and we're just kind of slowly turning, maybe catch up with the dolphins. But the deer, it was like, get to the shore. Land ho! Deer! Deer ahead!

Feed the deer! They're throwing stuff to the deer. It looked like Funyuns. I don't know what deer ate, but it was something. Reese's Cubs. They couldn't... I mean, yeah, these Floridians were like, gotta see them deer! We see plenty of deer, brother. Let's go see more

dolphins and that whale. But we had a guy serenading us the whole time. Jeff. And yeah, man, Isaac, I think became Jeff's best friend by the end of the night was requesting all sorts of different songs from him. Mainly he was trying to get hip hop acoustic covers done. He did play.

You got a bad. Yeah. Which was nice. It was nice. Very good. Yeah. Apparently I didn't, I learned that Catherine knew like all the words to you.

Got it bad. Oh, that's so interesting. Yeah. I'm like, really? She's like, I was in middle school and this came out and I was like, okay, I wasn't homeschooled for us. interesting. Yeah. I'm like, really? She's like, I was in middle school when this came out.

And I was like, okay. I wasn't homeschooled for us. No. Yeah. Eighth grade was a wild time for me. That's a funny song to know a lot of words to. That's great. I don't know what happened with, yeah, in your part of the books, we weren't together,

but also Jensen kind of, Jensen's a great guy, very good looking guy. And, oh boy is he. Who just hooped and hollered for that? And as they're like introducing everybody on the boat, like the captain, they're like, we got Connor, you know, all these. And we got Jess over, you know, and he just goes, oh, Jess. So I was giving a hard time about that. And then Jess comes over later. We all had like one free drink ticket.

And, you know, Jensen's like, hey, what would what would it take you know throwing on his charm like what would it take over here for me to get one more and she's like you could sing me a song and so jensen sings them sings her like this like beautiful like acoustic-y like song and she's like i mean that was way better than i thought and she gave him another sangria which i'm convinced that sangria was just like watered down juice like that thing did not have anything in it yeah I don't know if anyone else had a margarita but it was just lime juice really yeah there was nothing in there yeah it's like you got some Splenda for this or what I didn't know about the the song yeah it was very sweet very cute

the privateer punch was different it was nice um. Also, Jeff and Isaac, I think, were close, but I think Jeff's best friend might have been Sarah Flippo. Oh, my gosh, yes. Let's talk about Sarah Flippo real quick. I don't know if there's a person that I've had a harder time figuring out than Sarah Flippo in my life. I mean, just so the first first thing i don't know your first interaction with her first interaction from the airport oh okay yeah my first she had the rum

no i don't know i don't i first thing i i meet her i go to shake her hand and she shook my hand up and down like it was a roller coaster. She's like, nice to meet you. I was like, okay, yeah, cool. Yeah, just one of the funnier people I've ever met, honestly, but just so random. And yeah, specifically, every time this guy would get done with the song, you would have thought that she's won the Super Bowl. I mean, every single time, just freaking out. So yeah, yeah, she was just absolutely going crazy, singing along.

So shout out to Sarah. I was really analyzing. I told Rachel, she's nailing the enthusiasm, not being overly loud, but she's perfected just the nice scream. It was perfect. It was so funny. It was a great, great memory. I just realized we didn't talk very much about the actual filming of the jean shorts video, because

I looked over at Brandon, and I thought of a funny time of the jean shorts video. That guy's been passed out. Let's read another ad read, and then we can talk about it. Yeah! I don't have it pulled off. I was going to do that. One more time.

Okay, goodranchers.com. They have supplied all the meat for us this week, which is fun. All the meat. Come on. ranchers.com. They have supplied all the meat for us this week, which is fun. All the meat. Come on. Duck house meat. I mean, we're talking steak. We're talking chicken. We're talking Wagyu beef burgers

y'all probably in the bacon. Yeah, so much 10 pounds of bacon, something like that. They sent us people said it was the best burgers they've ever had. I don't know if would everyone say that probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, yeah, so good. We're actually having some chicken nuggies tonight from a good ranchers. Um, so if you don't know what good ranchers is, it's a meat subscription service. Um, they can send you chicken, beef, bacon. That's about it. But man, is it good.

It is good. Their tagline is American Meat Delivered, and they have never and will never source meat from outside the United States. It's pretty rare in the meat world. 85% of grass-fed beef is imported from overseas. No thanks. No thanks.

How many percentage of beef is imported for Good Ranchers from overseas? Zero. That's what I thought. Let's go. That was quite the word problem there for a second. And it is coming up into summer. What do you think of when you think of summer?

Grilling out. That's right, brother. Grilling out in the great outdoors, right? Genuinely, though, I'm really excited. I'm trying to be more and more hospitable, have people over. And obviously, it's really fun to invite people over and grill good ranchers. So, uh, just recently had my parents come over with my sister and her family and we had good rancher steaks and good ranchers chicken. And, uh, yeah, my parents were very pleased with it and they've actually ordered

some good ranchers now. So I was talking to Jensen. He's the attractive one who sings to women yes um this morning and he said he claims that he started drinking chike in the morning yep and eating good ranchers for his meat and he's lost 10 pounds hello baby he just might be a little anecdotal i don't know unofficially good ranchers will lose you a lot of weight and make you attractive. Yes. And can get you freeze angry on a boat. They've got a new kind of offer for the ghosties. The code is still GRKC, but now you can get $30 off America's Best Meat.

It was $20, now it's $30. So get out there. GRKC. Yeah, we really appreciate them as a sponsor. And genuinely, I mean, they send us a ton of meat, literally a lot of meat. So let me put it this way. It's quite a bit. Isaac and Brooks filled up an entire, like the biggest Yeti cooler you can think of,

filled it up and they brought it up here. I mean, yeah, huge, huge amount of meat. And so cannot thank Good Ranchers enough. They really bent over backwards in order to give us the meat that we had for the trip. And we're very thankful good ranchers american being delivered good ranchers.com go to your kissy dog house um anyway gene shorts video yeah it was sheltered kid goes to a party yeah i think is what the title will probably be yep and it was good it's always a little interesting filming this kind of stuff with an audience just because i don't want people to feel like they need to laugh out loud at every single line because it's not laugh out loud funny right you know especially because like we usually rehearse the line a time or two before we

actually film it so the element of surprise is already gone right yeah like this isn't yeah um but when the video is all edited and everything and then i think it'll be cool like oh wow that was way better in person because in person i was kind of i was just telling people i was like it's amazing how much once you edit the video like how much faster it gets how much more entertaining it can be and so yeah and there was so many people were like man that was not a very good video i heard the murmurs yeah yeah i got the wrong group text um but there were so many scenes we had to film was like hey we're gonna put in music afterwards yeah i was like this feels a little lame in the moment but i know i know really good and what's funny is that honestly i think probably half of us were sheltered kids like growing up yeah and

so them trying to act like the non-sheltered kids with the shelter kid the party was like sometimes like okay maybe dance a little more than that you know whatever uh it was just funny to watch like you know some of these like groups of people's like okay get a little bit closer you know whatever um but my my my favorite thing is when I was thinking of Brandon, I see him over here is, uh, he was just going to be passed out one time and like at the party. And so he's literally just like hunched, like almost half of his back is like behind the chair, like hunched backwards and just like passed out. And it was just so funny.

I think you said something about like, Hey man, I'm worried. Do you like, are you asleep? Like, do you need to go to the chiropractor? I don't know what you said. Yeah. But it was great. And that also reminds me too, well, yeah, just there's so many people who are here who's like,

oh, Brandon and I have a selfie together. I'm sorry, but I didn't remember taking that selfie, but it was fun when he showed it to me. He's like, hey, we took a selfie together. I was like, oh, that's awesome. And there were so many people here who like, I've seen you for our shows and how Isaac and I were talking, Isaac and I going on tour together.

Oh, I know. Hello. how much that merch baby buy some merch okay tip them too like i yeah tip them already get so excited on tour when it's like you see someone ghost hunters merch it's like oh these people like i you know they know me i'm excited to see them but how much more fun would be for these 30 people to see them on the road. I know. Isaac up. I was like, this would be so fun when we see Brandon in a show.

I didn't, I don't know if what I expected from this week completely, but it's been so fun to like become friends with you. Like that's what's so cool is it's not like, I don't, I know that you guys are fans of ours, but it's not, I don't think it'll ever feel like that ever again.

Yeah. We're family. Yeah, absolutely. Genuinely though. Like, I don't, I don't know. Maybe, maybe you still feel intimidated by us. I hope not after all this time, but I feel, I feel like we are just all friends now and it's just so cool. And yeah, I can't wait to see you guys again sometime. So yeah. Um, one other thing on the, on the shelter kid stuff, I was talking to the Miller's family a lot. Dr. Ben is the... Which, by the way, Catherine thought he was a

MD. What a disappointment. And so she was gonna... She was like, oh my gosh, yeah, what a disappointment. She genuinely was like, well, he's not a doctor, he's a dentist. And I was like, Catherine, she's like, I didn't mean it like that. Anyway, not a real one.

But yeah, Catherine was like, I was gonna... I don't know if she was truly going to, but she's like i didn't mean like that anyway not a real one yeah yeah but uh yeah katherine was like i was gonna i don't know if she was truly going to but she was like i was thinking about asking him some questions or something and i love the idea of her being like so you know home births um elbow joints like what's is it just because of the humidity or can i do anything about that and ben's like well fluoride you know is pretty effective i guess for that i don't know yeah i'm asking about my sensitive nose yeah it's so close to the mouth i know it sounds crazy but Well, fluoride is pretty effective, I guess. I don't know. Yeah, I'm asking about my sensitive nose. It's so close to the mouth.

I know it sounds crazy, but I jumped in a lot, right? Ben's just like the nicest guy ever, too. He's like Googling it. Yeah, let me, I don't know. I have some other real doctor friends that might know this. Oh, but we were talking, I think I was talking with Courtney. She's like like it's so fun kind of watching these she's like because i think i married a sheltered kid too and i was like yeah i feel like rachel's always making fun of me like that's a sheltered kid moment in real life whatever and so we'd already established that and then the very

next day is when we played fishbowl and dr ben uh was trying to get everyone he's doing the charades and the word was mushroom so he's trying to act out mushrooms and so he reads it and this you have to watch this part it's not gonna make sense audio wise but it's like and we're like what's pots marijuana smoking marijuana yeah and he like picks up from the ground we're like yeah marijuana yeah yeah yeah and then he was like trying to like, whoa, small. And then she were like, mushroom? He's like, yeah, yeah, mushroom. Like, is that how you smoke your mushrooms?

And then the funny thing was, I was like, I didn't know that you don't smoke mushroom. I don't know how that works. I don't think you do. I learned that you eat them. Yeah. So that was kind of a funny thing. Yeah, that was great.

Dr. Ben smokes mushrooms. If I could, my line of thinking was just drugs. And then just going from there. That's fair. The charades can be really hard in fishbowl. So you did a great job, man. But anyway, yeah, the filming was fun. I think the most fun part was at the very end,

whatever it was, at Wiz Khalifa. I don't know. Is it KB, Lecrae? I don't even know what we played. Walk of Flock. Walk of Flock. Walk of Flock of Flame. See? What was that?

It was either Wiz Khalifa or Lecrae. Young Gravy? No, an inside joke with Isaac for the longest time when I was in youth ministry and Isaac was in high school was any time any rap song would come on, it genuinely could be like a Christian rap song or whatever. I just play. Hey, is this Kendrick? And so anyway, walk a flock of flame came on and you did some dancing and then right after that was like the end of the Video and we were just partying in the living room here. That was really fun And then I think we took it to the pool and then we took it to the pool that started the vibes so um yeah let's see i have some other things written down for the the beach day at the

non-stop action day please um i just think you know you if you listen to the podcast you probably hear like oh yeah isaac has all these concussions he broke both of his arms at the same time like he gets injured all the time like you know this is stories over a multitude of years. How much does he really injure himself? These ghosties got to see firsthand. He, so, I mean, 90 seconds in being on the beach, Isaac broke his toe or did something, some sort of like bone bruise on his foot. Yeah, Laura took a video of it. We have a clip.

Oh, you do have a video of it. It's fun. We do have a lot of footage for this podcast episode, which would be fun. Oh, my gosh. But, yeah, poor Isaac. He's just like, dude, I think I, like, broke my toe or something. It's a nasty bruise today.

Poor guy. But he's still, like, pushing through. So, he still plays volleyball with us. Well, of course, gets a nosebleed during volleyball, which is just so hilarious. It's not even dry here. It's very, very humid. Like Arizona, it's like, oh, yeah, maybe.

Dr. Ben does volleyball. That's Dr. Ben. That's Dr. Ben. He's a primary healthcare physician. But Isaac still wanted to play volleyball. I think the game was almost over, right? Like 19 points. He starts bleeding.

So he doesn't want to get on his hands. Bleeding. Yeah, he's just bleeding his nose. And so he starts wiping it on his shoulders. It's getting more intense. And he looks just like, I don't know, like he just slaughtered a pig. He looked like the volleyball in Castaway.

He looked like Wilson. Looked like Tom castaway that's what he looked like wilson looked like tom hanks had painted him to have a friend yeah and so yeah he just had blood all over his face on both shoulders and it's running down his elbow he looked kind of cool it did look kind of cool and he had a broken toe so yeah that was kind of fun and then one other thing i wrote down um shout out mckayla styles um because oh yeah yeah sure just if you're like i don't care what it's for yeah i'll clap for um but we were just talking about how much fun that day was of just non-stop sports or all the you know the games you've done in the pool and she said i have never felt more like myself than like playing sports with you guys and i didn't admit this because i

was like i didn't want to ruin the moment and also i was embarrassed at the time but i was tearing up listening to michaela talk about like what this trip't want to ruin the moment. And also I was embarrassed at the time, but I was tearing up listening to Michaela talk about like what this trip has meant to her and how much fun we've been having. Cause it really has just been amazing. Well, now I'm getting teary enough. I know. That's how I felt last night. I was like, Holy cow.

I gotta go to the bathroom or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to hide some bands downstairs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm going to check on Isaac's toe real quick. So yeah. Yeah. It was just, she had some really cool things to say. And so I wrote that down. Didn't want to forget that. It was great. She also said,

she's like, she said something to her husband. Like this is the most fun I've ever had by myself. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean like, um,

Oh, well after the three kids, the wedding day, this is it. This is fifth. She loves her family. Yeah. She loves her family.

Family woman. Oh, that's great. Wow. That's really cool. Yeah. She loves her family. Yeah, she loves her family. She's a family woman. Oh, that's great. Wow, that's really cool. Yeah, that's the thing. I think, obviously, the activities have been wonderful, and the games have been wonderful, but it's just been so fun to actually have cool conversations with everybody,

I think, real conversations. People are great. Easy to talk to. Absolutely. Good times. So, yeah, that was another thing, too, just going into this trip, when people are like, how are you feeling? You're about to be sleeping with some strangers. I would kind of tell people like i'm not

worried about it but i do think we will learn a lot from a logistic standpoint or you know just there's so much we've never done this before sure jensen was even asking he's like have you i've seen like other podcasts do this and that's kind of where you got this idea and i was like i don't know if this has ever happened in the history of podcasting that's the coolest thing about all this is that like we had confidence that like yeah there's gonna be like quirky people like you know of course but like there's not gonna be anybody that's gonna be like okay this person's volatile and we can't invite them because we know ghosty's well enough to be like there's not gonna be anybody wild you know like we can we can do this

i was kind of telling i was like i feel like it takes a very unique audience or even just unique podcasts because it can't be too big like it has has to be kind of a medium size and you have to feel like you have this trust. We're pretty, we're like, we're huge. Yeah. Well, I was just being humble for them. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. But, oh yeah.

So going into, I was told people like, yeah, I think we'll learn a lot. But for the most part, I feel like just copy and paste for the most part. Like this is great. This is a no brainer that we do this again. Absolutely. I mean, we did still learn stuff, but it's not like, okay, that was good that we did it once, and now we will try and do things a different way. Okay, yeah. Catherine's never coming back to something like this. No. Joking. That was the... You weren't... I was kidding. He's being sarcastic.

Yeah, sarcastic. You got to defend your puzzle crown. No, yeah, absolutely. It was very fun. But yeah, it's been great um something that happened this morning um i'm brushing my teeth in the bathroom and uh shout out dr ben and uh basically well when i woke i woke up this morning to uh derek had sent me and trey a mood swings video that he'd edited he's like i want you to like look at this and see like oh yeah i already told some people he was already loving it um He's like, I want you to like, look at this and see like, Oh yeah, I already told some people, I was already loving it. Um, he's like, I like, check this out, like send me some notes or whatever, you know, what do you think? And so I'm like, once the day gets going, I'm not gonna have time for this. I'm going to try and do this

like as soon as I can right now. And so like, while I'm going to the bathroom, I'm watching it while I'm brushing my teeth and watching it. Well, Adam walks into the shared bathroom while I'm brushing my teeth as I'm watching this mood swings video and he was just like how often would you say you watch your own videos just jake's just like man i look good in this one oh yeah i feel like he was just like being very like i'm not gonna judge he was like serious yeah he was just like he's like no problem dude it's fine i don't talk to a lot of youtubers like how often would you say you and dude i could not like explain it fast enough oh my god i was just why i would just have to i was so just instantly embarrassed like just the idea that part of my morning routine is

they're amazing, but they're, they're protein powder coffee. And, um, they sponsored the trip. They gave everyone like, uh,

little bags. They gave us some, some big old bags. Oh, shout out to Gabe. Uh, Gabe got some of their sunglasses. Wore them in the tumultuous storms of the waves

and lost them in four minutes. So somewhere that one whale in the ocean has some trike sunglasses on. I think Gabe was thinking, this is how we grow trike, really. Spread it to the ends of the earth. Actually, that was really funny. Because I was on the same team as Maddie and Gabe for volleyball.

And so I got to see the whole, like, you know, marital conversation. Like, hey, would you want to put on some sunglasses? And he's like, no, no, I'm fine. And I think, you sure don't want some sunglasses? Like, there's some sunglasses over here. I noticed that you kind of set that one out of bounds a little bit there, Gabe. Maybe it's just, I don't know. It's because of the sun.

Anyway, it was fine. but it was just like, there were a couple just suggestions to wear the sunglasses. Gabe finally puts them on, goes in the ocean, just immediately loses them. I was like, oh, you better find those where Matty sees you. And then, but there were, we still had extra free ones.

And so, I don't know. It was like, well, like last night we did it. So someone was like, Gabe, why don't you just have this? And Matty was like, he doesn't deserve it. He had his chance. He had a chance at the sunglasses. But yeah, that was nice of Chike to send us these fun, nice sunglasses.

Fun glasses. As well. Yeah. But anyway, it's been fun too to see how many people are like Chike users. Yes. Customers, you would say. Yes, absolutely.

Or did I see you while you were swimming a little bit at one point?

I was just swimming around. Yeah, baby, just swimming. He's in there by himself. And I'm like, man, it'd be fun to get to know this guy just one-on-one a little bit. So I went and talked to him and Brandon was double fisted in a little, well, maybe it's just trike. Was it just trike? No, I had some, uh, some trike and some hot coffee from Main Street Roasters.

Yeah. They can, they can read that. They can do it. And they will do it out loud. Yeah. Pretty much the whole ride. Out loud? Yeah.

Like, what are you talking about? Do you actually not know what I mean? Just like, oh, oh, oh, Dollar General. Oh, you're talking about, I was, I was thinking that girls were reading their books. Ah. Were you guys thinking that? I knew exactly what he was talking about. That's my bad.

I could have done better. You're saying girls love observing. Like announcing their capability of reading. Oh, okay. Call 188-JUNGLE-LAW if you've been involved in an accident. They love it. Just anything that's in English, they will read. Yeah, just anything that's in English, they will read it out.

Yeah, that's so true, dude. Prima Bowls. Catherine does that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Especially if it's like a cute lettering or like, oh, 38 bike and pedal. 38 pedal and pizza. A beachy bean coffee cone.

That looks cute. That's fun. Oh, yeah. Oh, mint bikes. Mint bikes. Mint bikes. Oh. But it was funny hearing Kaylee talk about it That looks cute. That's fun. Oh, yeah. Oh, mint bikes. Mint bikes. Mint bikes. Oh.

But it was funny hearing Kaylee talk about it because she was very self-aware. She's like, I just can't help it. She was like, I had a big moment. She's like, when I came to F12 and rode around with you girls and met you guys, she's like, I didn't, not only did I not know that other people did it, I didn't know that I did it. She was like, and then I started riding around with you. You were like, oh my gosh, this is a habit I have. And I found my people who also do it wow it's like um it's a thing does it turn into like a game where you guys are trying to say it before the other person or

something i'm i'm amazed by this that's so sweet just reading i i will say another fun thing for speaking of reading there was one time we were playing some raucous game downstairs maybe we're going to school or something and I walk upstairs and there's just like five or six girls just like huddled around each other, like all reading books,

like different books just kind of hanging out and having a little reading time and I was like, that's sweet. I don't think guys would ever do that. I'm going to go

throw a football around but anyway, that was a fun time to see. Last thing I had written down, I put, I think Jensen and Isaac are dating. Oh. Yes thing I had written down. I put, I think Jensen and Isaac are dating. Oh.

Yes. Bromance central. Man. Yeah. Jensen and Isaac are just the best of buddies. They're always like sneaking off together. Where were you guys? Oh, we were walking along the beach. Yeah. I woke up one

morning to Jensen waking up Isaac. Hey, buddy. It's going to be a great day. I'll see you up there for breakfast, okay? Do you want me to get something started for you? He really did that this morning. He was like, hey, everyone's heading out for acai bowls. Do you want me to get you something?

Okay, yeah. So last night, I was in the boat next to Jensen and Isaac. And jokingly, they kind of were like, he was almost doing the Titanic thing where he was hugging Isaac and they were looking out in the waves. Oh, king of the world. Yeah. And so I took a picture of them, and then later on I was like,

Catherine, do you see those dolphins? And she's like, yeah, I saw them. I was like, I got a picture of them, and I showed her the picture of Isaac and Jensen. Yeah, that's been fun to see. it's been fun to see new friendships yeah made and yeah hopefully we'll carry on outside of 30a so and we will all be reconvenient in like four or five days because oh the first stop on the tour is in Columbus and so Jensen's coming hello um let's go I thought maybe someone else gonna be here so you got me Isaac Jensen's coming. Hello. Let's go. I thought maybe someone else was going to be here. So you've got me, Isaac Jensen,

Get some bands up in here. Let's get some bands up in here. We just have a few trivia questions from the week, and yeah, I think it's just going to be kind of first one to shout it out gets it kind of thing.

We have still a couple more surprises, I guess, of sorts. But one of the things that they do know is coming, which we'll be able to talk about this next minute on the podcast, is the night. We have still a couple more surprises, I guess, of sorts. But one of the things that they do know is coming, which we'll be able to talk about this next minute on the podcast, is the treasure room. Yep. So we have all these prizes, but Brad had a good idea. Like, instead of just saying, like, hey, first place prize is this. You know, whoever has the most bands gets this.

What it is is just first place prize is whoever comes in first gets first pick. Yeah. So we're going to have, like, a bedroom. Maybe Brad and Catherine's bedroom. That is a good prize. I wish. I wish. I don't know what any of that means.

Don't read too far into any of that. Basically, you just get first pick to go into the treasure room yeah and no one knows what's in there only the person in the treasure room and you just come out with one item and i think it's gonna be so fun when they come out and they show what they got there's you know yeah don't gack in there yeah blue glue blue goo what that yeah blue slime yeah whatever that was from the clue last night um okay do you want to do a few voice memos uh yeah well should we do reviews jingles then voice memos or sure it doesn't matter gosh rachel coop does loose things all the time it's amazing uh rachel's outfit right now she is wearing in a purple like athletic dress

account is the best one that does make sense I'll get rid of it but if that's not an option for you I recommend deleting the app and only logging on through Safari, Google or whatever your search engine may be the apps are much less user-friendly and 10x less immersive. Okay. Thanks. I find it to be much easier to pull myself away within the first few minutes and have been wasting a lot less time on my phone. Granted, I still do struggle with getting sucked in from

time to time, but overall, this has helped me tremendously and I hope this has the potential to help you as well. Thanks for being awesome. Lily. Oh, thanks, Lily. Yeah. Didn't have a ton to say about the podcast, but you know, still helpful.
