Jake, I was in a drive-thru of a coffee shop that I'm not going to name because it wasn't Main Street Roasters the other day. And the barista, when I was doing my order, they just clarified cold brew with just this on top. I was getting some sweet, sweet cold foam. Cool. And I was like, yeah, just make sure it's just, yeah, just on top. Sounds great. And they go, oh, rock on. And I was taken aback by rock on. I think I liked it. I think I was like, oh, rock on. We haven't heard rock on in a while. I haven't at least. Are you saying rock on. I think I liked it. I think I was like, Oh, rock on. We haven't heard rock on in a while. I haven't at least. Are you saying rock on in your daily life?

Oh, rock on. No. Hey, rock on. I honestly, when you first said, I was like, maybe I do say that. And then once I said, I was like, no, I don't say rock on. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of like, that's what's up. But like in 1998, you know, like white high schooler. Oh, rock on. Oh, rock on. Rock on. Oh, you're in college. Rock on. Oh, you're, you're a marketing major. Rock on. Rock on. That's what I think. The hand signals make it pretty lame, but I think we could bring rock on back without hand signals or change the hand signal finger guns. Oh, rock on. Rock on. I don't know. I don't know if we should be shooting people these days. Uh, maybe just pinkies. Everyone does thumbs up. I don't know if we should be shooting people these days. Maybe just pinkies.

Everyone does thumbs up. Why not? Pinkies up. Hey, rock on. Rock on, man. Oh,

rock on. That looks pretty funny. Hey, rock on, dude. Oh, dude. Cold brew,

dude. Rock on, dude. That's pretty funny. I was at dinner with someone last night and he was like out of the blue. He was like, do you ever say the word smacks? And I was like, what do you mean smacks? And he's like, I got like, if something's good.

Yeah. He was like, there's this guy at work. He's not like, I don't know. He's like 37. And like, he throws around smacks pretty often. I'm just trying to figure out like, are people saying that? I was like, I don't say smacks. I don't think that's a thing that like a lot of people are saying, but also it doesn't

sound so crazy. Like I've heard the word. like i don't say smacks i don't think that's a thing that like a lot of people are saying but also it doesn't sound so crazy like i've heard the word so just just say snacks for a sip of the sweet cream oh that's smack oh rock on smackers oh that's rock on smack smack uh-oh oh i think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white next time. We're back with another Monday episode Ghost Hunters Podcast. Ghost Hunters Podcast. We're back with another Monday episode. It's a great day to be a Ghost Hunters listener. We do have some sad news. After Tymon's answer last week, he is fired.

Hold up, hold up. Pause the podcast. Brad, why do I sound so depressed? Just because I've not edited Ghost Hunters doesn't mean I can't have a happy life. You think that's going to sound like Justin? I think so.

I'm like, oh, Monday is, it was crazy. I was like, I'm recording three podcasts with Trey and I think we did six Mood Swings videos.

Like, can't do Monday. He's like, well, I leave Tuesday. We should try and find the time. Actually, it'll be funny just to try and summarize it. But Tymon's like, ah, so Tuesday I head out and I really probably, I probably can't like edit anything you send me the rest of the week. We're like, Oh, that's totally fine. He's like, I wish I could, but it's like,

I'm like traveling with my family and it's, it's supposed to kind of be a time where you don't like work. Yeah. It's supposed to be kind of restful and like intentional. We're trying to take like intentional time off of working. And yeah, I think I just thought, and I was like, I think that's what people like traditionally just call a vacation. Yeah, it's like time and what you're afraid to. I was like, please take a vacation. It's called a family vacation.

And maybe you've heard the word, but yeah, that's most of us have taken it. That's what you're about to do. So enjoy it. Yes. I think that's totally fine. Yeah, we need those from time to time. Right. So second week of finals week, we had some plans for another little quiz.

That's right. But it's going to be put on hold probably for a couple of weeks. Yeah. Because next week, I won't be here. Well, next week you'll be here. Crap. I know. Right?

I said freaking crap at the same time. Crap. Crap. Crap. Oh, you like fraps, too? Rock on, dude. Oh, me too. Main Street Roasters,

frap, frap, frap, frap, frap. Rock on. What frap are you in, dude? Yes, I will be here next week. The week after that, I'll be gone. But I'm honestly kind of excited to see. So I was like, dude, I'm totally comfortable not being here.

I think it's gonna be too crazy to try and front load all these episodes. So I was like, Brad, you got it. I was like, get Catherine I'm totally comfortable not being here. I think it's going to be too crazy to try and front load all these episodes. So it's like, Brad, you got it. I was like, get Catherine, get Harrison, get Isaac. Yeah, who knows what I'm going to do. Yeah, I don't know if I'm going to do it solo, if I'm going to find some people, whatever. We'll figure it out.

I think it'll be fun, though. Yeah. In some way, I want to interact with somebody. Yeah, I was going to say, don't do it solo. Yeah. That's not going to be as fun. Right. But yeah, any of our friends would do a great job. Um, that actually reminds me too. I was

talking to my dad yesterday and he was like, cause we're going over, I was like, Hey, you know, you're my best man. If you want to give a best man speech, like you, you have the platform to do that. If you also would like rather just give more of like a father of the groom speech at the rehearsal dinner, we could do that. We could figure something out. What's the difference? I think where he gives the speech. Whether only the rehearsal dinner or only the reception.

We're both, baby. He was like, you know, we were kind of going to... He is going to give a speech at the wedding reception. But he's like, man, I'm looking forward to hearing some of your friends, what they have to say at the rehearsal dinner. He was like, for some reason, he's like, I can't wait to hear Gunner's. So he's really excited to hear what he has to say. So maybe get Gunner on the podcast for my dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I love it. I mean, Gunner's just a wild card, man. Maybe that's why. He's just like, let's see what he has to say. We went to Breakthrough with Gunner this past week. Yeah, we got to hang out. That was fun. It was for Captain's birthday.

If you don't remember Breakthrough, it's an escape room. I don't even know. It's kind of hard to describe, right? Because everyone's like, oh, it's an escape room kind of place. No, it's way more fun than that. No, it's not, because it's like mini levels. It's Mario Kart mini games. Yeah, Mario Party almost.

Sorry, that's what I meant to say. Mario Party mini games. You walk in a room. Whoa, what is this? Oh, I have to use my mind. Yeah. This, sorry. That's what I meant to say. Mario Party minigames. You walk in a room. Whoa, what is this? Oh, I have to use, you know, my mind. Yeah. This one, oh my gosh,

I have to use, you know, my hands. I'm sure you explained it, but I'm going to explain it again because I didn't remember all these things the first time. It was like, it's probably like 30 some rooms, right? Yeah.

There's a ton of rooms and yeah, each of them on the outside has the name of the room, one little clue, like literally like two or three words. Clue's not that helpful. Sometimes. Sometimes. Sometimes. And then there's like this like two or three words is not that helpful sometimes

And then there's like this like little graphic that says are you gonna use skill are you gonna use? Physic is gonna be physical or is it gonna be mental is that right? It's physical skill and something else skill and mental kind of kind of felt the same way Anyway, and sometimes it's like two of them are highlighted or ever sometimes just skill whatever and skill, whatever. And so you don't know, but you have no idea what the room's going to be. That's the best part. You walk in and you just take it all in. You're like, cause there's no rules. There's no rules. Here's how to play. You have to figure it out, which honestly was a cool exercise for me because I think I'm very much like, okay, tell me what to do and I'll do it. But this was like, okay, you got to figure it out. There's no explanation. Yeah. Yeah. It's fun fun and and sometimes like usually it's like 180 seconds or so like is like the time limit of

the games and you're trying to get as many points as you can within the allotted time and if you get 100 points that's the max you can get yeah um but every once in a while you walk in and you lose immediately like literally it'll be like game over it's like okay i guess i guess we're not allowed to go in that area like yeah you have to go back and scan again and get going again. Sometimes you don't even know. So it's like, okay, it keeps going off. Yeah. Emily, get down on all fours. Maybe that's it. Yeah. There was one level where you're supposed to like go to like around a few corners and like find this safe. And like, you're trying to steal the artwork. Yeah. There's like sensors in the middle of the hallway. So you have to scooch against the wall. Yeah. Guess out of the,

out of the four of us, guess which, which one of us, they you have to scooch against the wall. Yeah. Guess out of the four of us, guess which one of us, they're like, Brad, scooch against the wall. I mean, I look like an idiot. Like my big belly, like stick it out. But the sensor didn't catch me. I got back in.

Good. String bean. Anyway, it was a fun time. But you were with Gunnar in your group. Yeah, yeah. I was with the Duckworths and I had been there before. So it was kind of like I was,

I don't know. It is like the dad just like, all right, if you need a hint, let me know. You guys have your fun. A lot of the rooms were all the rooms the same. There was only one that was new.

Really? Yeah. It was kind of a bummer. It's hard to get repeat customers if you're not going to switch out the rooms. Yeah. Unless you're like super competitive and you're like, I want to beat, they have like a leaderboard throughout like locally and nationally.

Like weekly, monthly. We can take those guys down. That's true too. Yeah. That's a fun aspect of it. I feel like that's like a big laser tag thing is like checking out like others. Or I know in Austin, we've been a few times to those like adult go-kart places. You know, they go like 35, 40 miles an hour.

And one of my friends, Gabe, he's like an influencer. He's like crazy into him. Like he's like, he's like thought about competing, like, like legitimately like buying his own car and everything to compete in. That's pretty cool. You know what that reminds me of?

I heard recently that Frankie Muniz is like about to be like a professional race car. He is. He's already professional, but he's about to be like, I don't know. What's it called? Instead of relegated, but like in soccer,

where they call it when you get like promoted, up a gated, promoted, propagated, propagated, likea-gated. Yeah, promoted. Propagated. Propagated. Into NASCAR, into Formula 1, something. He's about to be a pro, top, top pro. Really?

He's going to be considered not just a celebrity who races cars. He's going to be an actual driver. Yeah, not just a Danica Patrick. She's pretty good, but she's also hot. Oh, was Frankie Muniz not hot? Well, I'm just saying. Are you ready to make that statement right now? I'm saying I think he is earning it from his talent alone.

Gotcha. Not anything else. So anyway, I just learned that. I've heard that about Frankie. So Frankie and Gabe basically are the two. Good for them. Go after it. Out there.

Go get it. Anyway, yeah, Breakthrough was a lot of fun. And I don't know. Did you have any specific stories about Gunner? Let's see. Because I will say like, like, it's kind of like you have two hours where we're kind of going all over the place. It's kind of a competition, but I feel like it's not like super strong, but like Peter

Harrison and Abby were on a team and they were like jogging to each room. The most serious. They were, they were really going for it. But I feel like out of all three groups, you guys were the loudest. You guys were hooping and hollering, specifically probably Gunnar. And so I just didn't know if you had any remembrances of that. We just did our own games within the game. Because it was like, all right, we've played the wiffle ball game once.

All right, let's do it again. This is very just my personality. All right, let's do it again. But now there's new rules. All right, the girls go in first, and they're competing. you know, which is my personality. Like, all right, let's do it again. But now there's new rules. All right, the girls go in first and they're competing in it, you know, whatever. So like guys versus girls or Duckworths versus triplet coops. Catherine's already calling you guys a triplets. Fun.

Like she's like, do you think triplets could come over for a game? Wow. All that stuff. Or like, yeah, you know, the triplets, they were great or, you know, whatever. All this. Really? Yeah. Throwing around casually.

Yeah. I'm going to, I think I'm going to change Rachel's name to Rachel Triplett. Whenever she leaves. Whenever she leaves this house, she's no longer Coop to me. Wow. Should I change her name on my phone to Rachel Triplett? I think it'd be really fun to do it together. Like have her watch you do it.

You know. You press the T. In the getaway car. You know, like, hey. Yeah, press it together. I can't do it. Put our fingers on the T together. That's so weird to think about.

Like, obviously, I will. Let's say it's 30 years from now. We've been married 30 years. It's like most of the, of our lives together will have been with her being Rachel triplet, but it's still so hard to imagine her not being Rachel coop. It's wild. Like when people will say, I didn't even know your maiden name was Hanson to Catherine. Like I've never known you as Catherine Hanson. And I'm like, that's crazy. Yeah. Like, you're probably still going to call her Rachel Coop. I know, yeah. It's great. I think it's funny.

I just realized that right now, she just went through all this trouble to get a new passport, and she's going to have to get another passport. Oh, yeah. You know, eventually. I will be interested to see how long it takes her to actually legally change her name. It might take her a while.

Yeah. None of that stuff is fun, but she did get the passport. It says Rachel Coop. She looks like a Russian prisoner in it. I mean, they took all the color out of the entire photo. It's just like hair is white, skin's white, eyes are white. Really? Yeah.

It's like a very muted photo. She looks scary. But we got the passport. We're all good. Oh, the honeymoon location has been ruined, though, unfortunately. Did she tell you? Yeah. But I wasn't going to tell you.

Yeah. Yeah. Come to find out it was ruined two weeks ago. And Rachel's been going along with it. We had a wedding shower. And even to people who I'm not even around. And they're like, where are you going to honeymoon? She's like, I don't know.

It's a surprise. I'm like, you've been told other people you don't know. She's like, yeah, I had to keep up the illusion. But yeah, she's like, I clicked on an email because it said it was from U.S. government. And then I clicked on it. It said, like, congratulations, you're going to get to go to the Bahamas. And she's like, I clicked on an email because it said it was from U.S. government. And then I clicked on it and it said like, congratulations, you're going to get to go to the Bahamas. And she was like devastated. Oh, really?

She was so sad to tell me. She told Catherine, I think in Florida when they were driving Isaac to the airport or something. Like after they dropped him off and she's like, I don't know how it came up. She's like, I know what it is, but I will not tell Jake. I'm not going to tell Jake. And I was like, wow, that's, that's tough. Yeah. That'd be tough to not, you know, to, to, to, to go along with it. But at the same time, I know that she knew you really wanted it to be a surprise. Well, she was so much more devastated because she, she slipped up. She was like, yeah. And then when we'll go to the Bahamas,

which, which you guys are doing that joke, she should just, she should just lean into it. I know she could have saved it, but she, she just crumbled. She's like, which which you guys are doing that joke she should just she should just lean into it i know she could have saved it but she just crumbled she's like i found out and i've so it's like the only thing i wanted i just wanted to be surprised on my honeymoon and now i'm not even gonna get to do that but i was like it's okay you don't know anything about it and like what's the difference in bahamas and jamaica do you even know like what would even the difference be right that's what i said yesterday i was like you guys are going jamaica or bahamas same spot and you're like bahamas i was like oh yeah same thing but yeah she was pretty bummed about that and the funny thing now is she was she's been trying to

find the email to show me and she can't find the email so now she's even more sad she's like i don't even exist like i can't even find what it ruined it does that kind of blow your mind that she can't find the email i was like i think if you saw bahamas just search bahamas i like katherine the other day was trying to return something to gap that she bought on gap. I was like, I think if you saw Bahamas, just search Bahamas. I like Catherine the other day was trying to return something to the gap that she bought on gap. And I was like, how hard can it be to find this email? And to her credit, I think the email was sent to me, but initially I just thought to myself, how like there's, there's only like four words you have to search to find this, search the item, search the gap. Like if she searches Bahamas, how many things are going to be in the inbox? Yeah. I don't know. It just, it just wild to me. But then again, I feel like sometimes the search

engine and search function on some of these things are so wonky. Gmail search could be better. I message search could be better. Search could be good. Even it's terrible. It's not even like it could be better. It's like, no, this is awful. Yeah. Like if there's, if there's, sorry, if there's like, let's say the word timing is like in a chat with you, me and timing 10 times, it'll only show one of those times in the search. It does a poor job. Yeah. Sometimes even just like, um, Google Chrome command F search, it doesn't show you what's like not on your screen right now. Like I won't show you what's below on the page sometimes. Is that right? Specifically with like YouTube comments, trying to find YouTube comment of the week. Oh, I know she said the word legacy.

Search it. Really? I can't find it. Then I scroll down. Oh, yeah. It was in here. I knew it was in here. Oh, interesting.

Anyway, that's been... Tech talk. Tech talk. Yeah. Tech talks. Tech talks. But anyway, how was your week? How was your weekend?

Sorry. My week's been great. Let me tell you about... Just real quick. Let's surprise Rachel in another way for this honeymoon okay um either i can pack something for you and you're and you don't i'll just give you a little present and you don't know what it's gonna be that's fun or something like i know you said that she has another resort or whatever it is but like how else can we surprise her that is kind of fun i have some surprises built in right now.

Okay. One's the, yeah, I think two are the day of the wedding, but I don't have anything for the honeymoon really. Oh, okay. So you have like fun surprises for her for the wedding. Yeah, not related to the honeymoon. Yeah, yeah. Just for like wedding day surprises.

Because I do, I feel for her. She's like, I wanted to be surprised in this. And I blew it for myself. Yeah. So it's like, yeah, how do we get that back for her? Maybe the ghosties can let us know. By the time you see this, it's almost too late. Not quite.

Leave a quick comment. Yeah, quick comment. Honeymoon surprise. Put QC and then dash and then your comment. QC. Yeah, that'd be fun. That's a good idea. A little honeymoon surprise.

Yeah. Anyway, week has been great. You went to good idea. A little honeymoon surprise. Yeah. Anyway, week has been great. You went to Sublette. Yep, went to Sublette. Hattie kept calling it Sablette. And I was like, it's Sublette. And she's goofy. She thinks she's so funny for that.

It's one of those things that's like, that is so not funny. But she kept thinking it was so funny. Yeah, actually, yeah. Took the three kids by myself to Sublette. And Catherine was so worried when we were getting in the car. Like she was like, you're, you're going to have such a hard time. I know what it's like to travel with three kids.

And I was so confident. I was like, almost like to the point where I was getting a little bit annoyed with her of how much she was worried, how much she was packing, how much, because I was like, I'm just trying to leave. Let's try to leave as soon as possible. Sorry. Sublette is my sister's, um, hometown, Southwest Kansas, because I was like, I'm just trying to leave. Let's try to leave as soon as possible. Sorry. Sublette is my sister's hometown, Southwest Kansas, small little town. I'm going there to visit my nephew who was turning 10, same birthday as Catherine, fun fact. So anyway,

but she was like, and I was like, I just want to leave as soon as possible so I can get there as soon as possible. So right after breakfast, I was trying to shoo him out the door and she's like, well, do you need water? Do you need this? Do you need that? And of course it's like all things that are really, really good to have. Moms love suggesting water. Moms love when you're about to leave giving you 20 more things. Yeah. Yeah. Pack a coat. Well, do you, does your mom try to give you leftovers? My mom loves being like, do you want to take some of those grapes home with you? Oh yeah. Didn't, didn't they offer you chili or something,

but it wasn't chili. It was, it was master chili. Master chili. Yeah. And you're like, no, I'm good on chili. I was like,

I got, there's a, there's a taco bell at that truck stop down the street. I think I got my eye on that. Um, anyway, but like, oh yeah.

In hindsight, like it was all good things. Like, you know, worried about all these different things. Um, but she packed like, oh yeah. In hindsight, like it was all good things, like, you know, worried about all these different things. Um, but she packed all the lunches for the kids so that we didn't have to stop for that. That's really nice. You know, snacks and lunches for me. Cause she's like, I know you, Brad, if you, if I don't pack these snacks, you're going to stop somewhere. And I'm like, a hundred percent. But because of that, I didn't stop anywhere. And so, I mean,

it was going great. I have this theory where like, Hey, don't talk to, it's kind of sad. It's pretty sad sounding actually, but it's like, Hey, don't talk to the kids for the first, you know, 30 minutes, see what they do by themselves. Like let's set a standard of like, this is a quiet car ride. This is a quiet car ride. Rosie usually falls asleep around the time that we're leaving. So if, if, you know, I'm not going to have unnecessary noise if I don't have to kind of thing. And so we're quiet. They're not demanding anything. They're not asking for a show yet. They're not asking for a movie or a, you know, a story on the audio or whatever. Uh, everything's going great to the point. Like we're like three hours in Rosie's slept a little bit, you know, everything's going swimmingly, dude. I, to the

point where I was like, I might not even have to stop once. I didn't, Catherine told me to bring a water bottle. I was like, I'm not bringing a water bottle cause I'm not having to pee with all these kids around. There's a stop. Yeah. And how would I take all these three kids into a gas station with me in the middle of Kansas? So, uh, before I left, I did go grab McLean's and I got a latte. And so I did have a little bit rock on, rock on, rock on. Um, and so I did have a little bit of liquid in my system. So I kind of felt it, but I was like, I can, I can push through and had, uh, you know, about three hours in, she goes, uh, dad, I think Rosie might have pooped because she goes, cause I asked Bo and he said,

no, I didn't poop. And it smells terrible back there. And, you know, we're driving through Western Kansas, and Western Kansas smells like cows. Yeah. And so I smelled a little bit of something. I was like, yeah, it does smell. But then I smelled a lot of something, and I was like, oh. And Hattie was, like, putting her, you know, shirt over her nose and everything.

I was like, oh, that's just Hattie being Hattie. Like, you're being dramatic about the cows outside, because that does kind of smell funny. But I was like, okay, that's just Hattie being Hattie. Like you're being dramatic about the cows outside because that does kind of smell funny. But I was like, okay, we should stop. We're at one of like the, you know, not whatever landmark kind of cities, not a big city by any means, but it had a gas station stuff. I just pull into this little church parking lot. So I'm like, I'm not stopping at a gas station. Great.

Pulling the church parking lot. And first thing I do is I relieve myself. Cool. Open up the passenger door, went into the corner of the passenger door with the latte cup and just... Oh, you didn't pee on the ground? No, it was like in the city.

Oh, okay. So I'm like, it's like, I mean, there's cars passing by. I was a little bit worried about even doing it this way, but I thought to myself, I'm gonna stop here for five minutes. This is gonna be my one stop. I was feeling so good about myself still. Like excited for Catherine to text you and say, do you stop anywhere? Excited for her to be like, how you doing? Is it going okay? And I'd be like,

it's going wonderfully. It's just so easy. Kind of in a little bit of a way, like subconsciously thinking like, it's not as hard as you're acting like it is. And I'm going to prove you wrong. Just pee in a latte. Yeah. Come on, Catherine. Girls do that all the time right rock on um so did that got scary close to overfilling the latte cup good for you yeah had to had to almost you know cut off the valve yeah um not cut off um relinquish relinquish the valve um anyway then i get rosie out of her car seat and do you know what a blowout means? Yes. We had a, we had a blowout. That'll smell. And it was, it was the smell that we've been smelling the Western Kansas smell. And it was, it was one of those things without getting

too into the graphicness. It was one of those things that it had gotten on the car seat and it was on her clothes. And so, and I was kind of ready to change her diaper and I was going to change it in the front seat, passenger seat. And so I had some stuff laid down, but I was not expecting her to have it on her clothes. So all of a sudden I had her in my hands. I can't like cradle her on my arm while I grab stuff because then I would have stuff all over me, but I can't put her down anywhere because she has stuff all over her. And so I was kind of having to like figure out what to do. Both my hands were full.

Like palming her. I kind of, I kind of like, yeah, grabbed, you know, under her shoulder, but that's not a very comfortable, you know, position for her. And so I'm trying to grab stuff while I'm doing this. It's too bad babies, you know, like dogs and cats, you can kind of grab them by that loose skin on their neck. Yes. Babies don't have a spot like that.

Well, they have something like that. You can do a piercing. You can do a piercing in the back of their neck. Oh, just kind of like a coat, coat hook. They call it, yeah, they call it the neck handle. Okay, that. Well, they have something like that. You can do a piercing. You can do a piercing in the back of their neck. Oh, just kind of like a coat hook. Yeah, they call it the neck handle. Okay, great. Or maybe it's the neck hook.

I don't know. Either way, it's not as expensive of a procedure as you'd think. A lot of people in Sweden are doing it. Yeah. From what I hear. And they are always kind of first on that stuff. And I think they're starting to sell them at Ikea. Is that where it's Sweden? Yeah.

Yeah, so you can do it yourself from Ikea or you can do a procedure. Um, but anyway, all I had to say it, it turned like a five minute stop into like 25 minutes of me. I used half the wipes in the, in the bag. I mean, I was wiping everything. And by the time it was over, you know, I had all her clothes and, and like the thing that I was changing her on top of, it was all in a plastic bag. I, you know, double wrapped it. She was like not naked. She had a diaper on, but I just put her back in her diaper in the car seat and we kept going and all to say we got there, but, but it was one of those things where it was like, okay, Catherine, it's harder than it looks. I probably should have stopped earlier whenever Hattie smelled this thing. Um, and yeah, Rosie, Rosie did just fine. She was kind of off all weekend.

She wasn't feeling super great, I don't think. So that's why she had these issues. The blowouts. Yeah. So it's the year 2023. We got AI taking half of America's jobs. We're in a great spot technologically. Can we not make a diaper that is blowout proof?

Yeah, I know. Surely. But maybe it's like too expensive. And they're like, well, I bet a blowout happens. Yeah, I know. I surely, but maybe it's like too expensive and they're like, well, I bet a blowout happens 2% of the time. So it's like, I don't know. Cause they do have,

uh, sleep diapers, like diapers that absorb more and they give you a little more cove Ridge. Okay. But let's just do that all the time. Yeah. Maybe so.

I think it's just, the answer is just give them a bigger diaper. Yeah. Just a bigger. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. That seems fine. Yeah. Anyway, just wondering, I don't know much about diapers, but give them a bigger diaper. Yeah. Just a bigger. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. That seems fine.

Yeah. Anyway, just wondering, I don't know much about diapers, but it just seems like that. I hear people, I hear dad's mom's talking about that all the time. Oh,

blow out. I mean, that's like the worst. And I think it's scientific, something that I don't know. I don't know enough about it. And people probably don't want to love talking about all this stuff, but like maybe sometimes it's like when it goes up their back or something

that doesn't happen to my kids very often, but I've heard that happen a few times. There was one time it happened. Catherine had all three of the kids, or maybe it was just Bo and Hattie, at our game at Hy-Vee Arena one time, and she didn't bring any diapers or anything for them. Bummer.

So she had to go all the way back outside and change Bo's clothes or something like that. Dang, Bo. Yeah, crazy time. Anyway, that was fun. I can tell you more, or you can go tell me some stuff and I can go back and forth.

Just real quick. I was going to say, so it was my dad's birthday. May is kind of a fun month for our family. Mom's birthday, May 8th. Oh,

Mother's Day is always right around there. Dad's birthday, May 16th. Wow. A lot of, yeah, a lot of birthdays. A lot of movie parts.

Throwing Angie Coop, May 7th. Throwing Catherine Ellis, May 11th. Throwing Bo Ellis, May 5th. Throwing Bo Ellis, take it to my Bo.

Yeah. Anyway, talking to my dad yesterday, happy birthday. Jake Triplett's wedding anniversary. To Rachel Triplett. Throw in just Memorial Day. Fun holiday. But when I was talking to my dad and he was talking about his best man speech, one of the other things he said was like,

man, you and Brad do a great job with those ads on the podcast. He was like, I'm serious. And this is such a supportive parent thing. He's like, NBC or somebody needs to get you guys to do their ads for them. It is so easy to listen to. He's like, half the time, I don't even know if you're doing an ad.

I think you're just talking. And then it gets done. I'm like, oh, I guess that was the ad. Yeah, because we're just that natural with it, baby. Yeah. Speaking of natural. Yeah, it is kind of fun. Chike has got some cool stuff going on.

Not only do I feel like people are posting all the time on our Facebook group that they're getting Chike, which is always fun to see. You guys are so supportive. But they've got a new flavor coming out. Oh, is it coming out today? Not really. Is it coming out a week from now? For other people, yes. For other people, for the, for the non-ghosts, for the ones that are uninformed. So for ghost runners listeners, this is going to come out on May 25th, but publicly the sweet cream flavor doesn't come out until May 30th. That's kind of cool. We've never had

a company like give us exclusive access to their products before. It's really cool. I think that's fun. We had some in Florida and people loved it. Yeah. Yeah. I think that was Brooks's favorite one. He, we had some leftover and he took it home. Thanks Brooks. So, um, but yeah, it's, uh, Chike's just great. Yeah. Check out the new flavor. It's kind of, uh, um, creamy vanilla buttery. It's very buttery buttery. Buttery, yeah. Buttery. Smells just as good as it tastes. And yeah, everyone loves the sweet cream. So you guys should check it out.

I mean, why not? Check out a new flavor just dropped. Go get it. I used some trike to and from Sublette this weekend. Really? Yeah, because I needed it. It really does. It's great.

I'll say this. I had a latte, didn't feel it. I had a trike, felt that bad boy real good. Felt it. Latte, p It's great. I'll say this. I had a latte. Didn't feel it. I had a trike. Felt that bad boy. Felt it. Latte? Pish posh. Pish posh.

Give me trike, trike, baby. Trike, trike. I had the cinnamon. I don't know if it was cinnamon, vanilla, or just straight up cinnamon. It was good, though. If you haven't tried that one, check it out.

Trike it out. Get the sample pack. Get the sweet cream. Whatever you want. I think it's so cool that they're giving us just initial access to this thing for everybody else. the sample pack, get the sweet cream, whatever you want. I think it's so cool that they're giving us just initial access to this thing for everybody else.

That's just fun. It's fun to have a sneak preview of anything. Trike is a big company. It's not like there's just a little mom and pop shop. Like, yeah, we'll let your little podcast have it first. Yeah, we know you're friends with Mac, so go ahead. Yeah, I mean, this is like a business that's in big box stores and everything, and they're giving us exclusive access. So go get

it. I would suggest do the subscribe and save. That's always going to be the cheapest option. It's always the best offer. Somebody was telling us in Florida that subscribe and save, I think it was Patrick. He was like, dude, I got so much chike with the subscribe and save plus the promo code. Because you're always going to get $5 off every order with subscribe and save you get free samples of new flavors a lot of benefits help you say stay stocked up but then on top of that code ghost runners get you 15 off your order chike.com that's c-h-i-k-e chike chike uh chike chike.com.com baby check them out that's so fun so anyway so was that an ad reader is that just us talking no that was just about our friend max business who knows yeah i don't know anyway tell me uh so so yeah how's your dad doing how's his birthday uh good birthday it's so funny

like yeah i called i think when i called my mom for her birthday, they were at Lowe's. Okay. And then when I called her for your mom's birthday. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, and then for mother's day, when I talked to her, they were at like, I don't know where that I was like, the way they celebrate things when you've been married this long, it's just like, well, we've got stuff to do. So, you know, really like it's like function. Yeah. It's like, yeah, totally. It's a, we're not really going out to fancy dinners. It's like, Hey, the, the columns on the front porch are getting you know like withered we got to get new columns we got to go it was sorry i know i asked about your dad but now i i want to answer myself it was katherine's birthday you know on may 11th is her birthday and we did go out i let her go out

with her friends rachel being one of them for yoga. Is it yoga? Some kind of class. Uh, and then coffee in the morning. And then we took her out for McLean's lunch, got pesto Mac and cheese. My goodness. I've never had it. Like I've had a bite of yours. It is insanely good. I get it once a week. I could not believe like the whole time I was eating. I was like, this is so good. Anyway, it's, It's decently filling too. But it's her birthday. And first of all, we have a field day slash kindergarten graduation at Hattie's co-op, which she goes to every other week. And of course, like the Iwana thing, the Iwana thing, I'm like, I want to celebrate that.

The kindergarten thing, I'm like, this is dumb. I don't. It's kindergarten. She literally, there's no way she wouldn't have passed this. Anyway, but it was cute. They asked her, hey, Hattie, what do you want to be when you grow up? And she said wouldn't have passed this anyway, but it was cute. They asked her, uh, Hey Hattie,

what do you want to be when you grow up? And she said a woodworker, you know, in front of everybody. Yeah. That's so really sweet. And then they go, and what kind of projects do you want to go do? And she's like,

kind of in a sassy way. She just goes, I don't know. I was like, Hattie, it's made to order. So it depends on that. It's whatever they want.

It's called Ellis custom creation. Um, anyway, uh, but then I later, like after that, you know, it was dinnertime and I was like, Catherine, it's your birthday. We can do whatever you want for dinner. Like I can cook it, you know, just let you be whatever.

And she's like, honestly, like all I want is just, maybe we can just have leftovers since we're going to sublet the next day. And I'm like, what? You want leftovers? That's for, for your birthday. You know? So it's one of those things. It's like, yeah, we're at Lowe's for my birthday.

Yeah. We're having leftovers. It's like the more adult you get, the more it's just like, know so it's one of those things it's like yeah we're at lowes for my birthday yeah we're having leftovers it's like the more adult you get the more it's just like yes it's fine whatever functional birthday yeah it's more just like well it doesn't it doesn't make sense for us to go buy a bunch more food we went to lunch first of all and second of all yeah i mean we have this food here that's easy enough to do for dinner tonight yeah okay if that's what you want let's do it so that's fun that's great but yeah my dad was yeah they weren't doing much now i can't remember but for his birthday but yeah we talked like a texas roadhouse guy for his birthday yeah it used to be zeo's and i think zeo's went over

zeo's was so good it was so good it was great they gave you like a little cardboard placemats or like a oh like the, it's not cardboard. What is that? It looks like cardboard. Like, like. Brown paper. Construction paper. Is that what it's called?

Like, like brown construction paper. Cardboard colored. And the, and the waiter would always have like two or three crayons upside down. Okay. And by the way, if you guys need anything else, my name is. My name is Ethan. Okay. They give you unlimited bread. Yeah.

Good bread. Oh, the olive oil with the herbs and stuff in there. Great decor in there too. Did yours always have lingerie in the corner? I think you've asked me this before and I do not remember. Oh, maybe we've talked about this before. Yeah. There was always like, like it was like a, like a clothesline. And so it had other things, but I remember as a seven year old kid being like, what are those things doing over over there what's why are there little bikinis over there yeah underwear what's with the two pieces yeah anyway um so good i'm convinced it didn't like go out of business because it was failing i'm convinced it was just like the people didn't want to run it anymore

they just they you know done their part dude we went to zeo's a lot for special occasions too right yeah like i know that one of my dad's birthdays was there like one of his like special ones because i remember we all read like things we love about him like we went around the table maybe it was his 50th he was like 50 things we love about dad or something like that but dude zio's unlocked a memory there but haven't been back there in a while unfortunately but he's doing good he's gearing up for the big speech sure and he was like i'm not gonna tell you what's in it, but just a heads up. Like, I don't think it's going to be that funny. Like if you're expecting funny, I think it's going to be more serious. And I was going, I think it'll be funny. I think you're not gonna be able to help yourself. I know you, I know me. I know even when

I try to do that stuff, it's like, well, this is an easy joke. Yeah. I got to say this at least. Sure. And he loves downgrading things. Like he loves being like, Oh, it's not going to be, I don't, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm going to bumble over my words. Totally, yeah. It's like, yeah, right, dude. You're going to do great. Under promise, so. How would you,

you probably don't have one opinion over another, but would you rather it be more serious of a speech? If I give a speech for you, do you want me to just razz you the whole time? I think it could be like 80-20. 80? 80 razz. 80 razz?

Yeah, 80 razz. Okay. 80 razz is great with with me i think that's fun i just think people well obviously i'm a comedian i mean people just i like sure the idea of people being entertained that way so and i was even telling him because he was like and i think i'm gonna keep it short i was like i think that's a great thing to have in mind i was like yeah i was like you know my big thing leave people wanting more sure end it and have people like man i wish that was awesome i wish that was awesome. I wish that was longer.

Kiss the mic. That's the other thing. I'm always... Yeah, get close to it. That's the worst is when it's like, I can't hear you, but I have to be quiet right now. We do need to go over that. My dad's hearing isn't great. So I need to make sure he knows how to talk into the microphone.

But he'll do great. And yeah, I was like, if any advice I have to you, I was like, just make fun of me and Rachel. That's going to get the best laughs. Just poke fun of us. People will love hearing that. So yeah, he's gearing up and that'll be good. So it's exciting.

Are we thinking, are we going to do speeches? If we are, what are you expecting from us? Are we doing speeches like groomsmen speeches the night before? Yeah, I need to send out a text to the groomsmen, which is so great. I feel like you guys are so chill. No one like badgering me like hey jake where's the itinerary you know it's like who cares you know i i mean i think it's easier when it's a destination wedding whenever we're going somewhere it's like well we're already going to be in that city we have nothing else to do yeah it's not like i have to be like i gotta arrange a babysitter here man

like when do i need to be there it's like yeah i think i think as long as we're in the city we can go to that place whenever you want us to it's a good way of putting it but so yeah i'll send out a text but yeah i think it's just like here's a rehearsal dinner we're gonna rehearse then we're gonna do dinner and then after that like if you want to say something you can no expectations but cool and then after that i um yeah i was on the fence whether or not how big of a surprise is going to be, but I went and got some things off Facebook Marketplace, off Amazon, off eBay.

So I hunted down like a PlayStation 2 and I went and got, it just came in the mail yesterday, SSX Tricky came. NHL hits. It's a time bonus. NHL hits came in the mail.

Oh, okay. And it's going to be coming in the next few days, but NBA Street is on its way. Perfect. Fun. And that's probably all we need, but NBA Street is on its way. Perfect. Fun. And that's probably all we need, but I still have other ones too.

That's awesome. One that's like a surprise game. Okay. That I'm really excited about. A surprise game. Surprise game. And so I think that's like probably for the morning of, but also like we'll still have it the night before

if we want to pop it in. We might need to. Yeah. That's fun. Because all the, you know, like me and Isaac and Braden braden and i think dim check will all be in an airbnb that can be like the hangout spot the night before if we need it perfect so it's gonna be fun our airbnb is in cedar falls cedar cedar something all yeah cedar

falls ours is in waterloo how far away 10 minutes perfect yeah no problem okay good no i was i was worried you're gonna be like it's like 35, 40 minutes away. No, no, no. Okay. That's where all of it is. So that'll be fun. But anyway, Wednesday's going to be kind of the wedding episode. Yeah, you're right. We had even said like,

hey, let's preview the wedding on Wednesday. And now here we go. Yeah. But so for now, I think I want to play not really a game, but more of an exercise with each other. Okay, let's exercise. Let's exercise a little bit. So Rachel brought this to my attention. Oh, no, no of an exercise with each other. Okay. Let's exercise. Let's exercise a little bit.

So Rachel brought this to my attention. Oh, no, no, no. Sorry. Not physical exercise. Oh, okay. Like if we were in breakthrough, this would say more skill. Okay. Or mental. Well, you let me know sometime if you want to exercise on the podcast.

I'll do it, baby. Yeah. Have a T-shirt on underneath. What did you think I was about to do there? Because I'll tell you what I was going to do. It was going to be push-ups while sitting down on this. On the table? Yep. That was my plan. be pushups while sitting down on this on the table. Yeah, that's what

that was my plan. That's fun. So Rachel brought this to my attention and she because she follows Maddie Pruitt on Instagram. That is the girl that was on The Bachelor

Auburn girl. Is that right? Yes. OK, dad was a basketball coach and now she's kind of like a Christian influencer of sorts. Exactly.

OK, I don't think she is a where was The Bachelorettete i think she just made it far on the bachelor i randomly like watched so every once in a while the end of the seasons get me and so i think i randomly watched the episode that i think the finale that year or something okay fun and she did not get chosen i believe yeah either i don't know there's been a few different seasons and maybe that she was the one that there was somebody that got chosen and then got unchosen one time got him or maybe it's yeah i don't know anyway go ahead maddie pritt anyway yeah so she's i've never met maddie but we have a ton of mutual friends

before she was married she lived with one of my good friends that i went to um where did i go with her australia no yosemite doesn't matter um it's so clapping at the sunsets that girl not a different girl but same trip so anyway maddie for some reason you're listening to this i think you're great you seem awesome however oh rachel let me know she's like pretty often maddie will screenshot her own tweets and post them on her instagram story okay and she's like she's like you got to look at these because there's like, they're the most like basic, unoriginal,

like phrases or like thought provoking things to the point where I, it would almost be hard to come up with these on a daily basis. And so I was like, so I was like, okay,

I'm going to write this down for the podcast, but I'm not going to look at them yet. Oh, it's, I went to Maddie's Twitter and maybe I'll read off a few and then we're going to try

to come up with our own. They're supposed to be inspirational, but they're so surface level. This tweet an hour ago. Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. Stuff like that.

We're just like, okay. I guess. Holding a grudge doesn't make you strong. Oh, she's doing the emojis too? No, I'm doing that. She's doing the pinkies rock on thing. Holding a grudge doesn't make you strong. It makes you bitter.

Forgiving doesn't make you weak. It sets you free. And she's just like rattling those off like daily. I don't know if she's coming up with them. I don't know if she's finding these. Do you think? Yeah. Yeah.

That's, that's like from the message. I think you don't need a biblical. You don't need a lot of friends. You just need the right ones. That is deep. You don't need a lot of friends. You just need the right ones. The best apology is changed behavior.

Wow. Now that I'm seeing this, I totally get where Rachel's coming from. I think she's just, whatever. I think she's walking through Hobby Lobby and looking at the signs they have in the clearance section. She's changing one or two words. What was the last one? The best apology is good behavior? Is changed behavior.

Changed behavior. Someday, you'll look back on all the progress you made and be so glad you didn't give up when you felt like that was your only option. Wow. It's just like such like surface level, like advice, like, you know, you got one. No, I don't. You need, I, this is a hard, I think it's harder that I think to like, not make it like punny or like deeper than like, go for, um, like when she said the right friends, I thought like, as she said the right friends i thought like as opposed to the left friends or something like that you know like let's see i'm just gonna start a sentence we'll see where it goes sometimes you're chasing after the finish line but when you get there

you realize that was the starting line wow i don't know That's seems like it could be a tweet. Yeah. Sometimes you're chasing out the finish line, but yeah, once you finish, you realize the race has just begun. Yeah. That's good. That's a, that's a Maddie Pruitt tweet. Sometimes, uh, life is a playground, but sometimes you feel like you're on the swings. Jump off. If there's mulch. Jump off and see what options you have elsewhere. That's good. I don't know. That's good.

The floor may be lava, the floor may be lava, but don't worry, there's a dormant volcano above. You might put on headphones to tune the world out, but make sure you know what's tuning in to

your ears. This one's more of a video. It's like a GIF. Well, emojis. You need the emojis. You need emojis for headphones and emoji. Don't forget that headphones are... I'm so bad at this. Don't forget that the second syllable...

This is so bad. It's not even close to what... I was trying to make a joke about phones and whatever. That's too deep. When you pick up the phone, you're rejecting someone else's call. Wow. No, yeah, you're right.

No, no, that's right. Dude, that's right. That's so true. No, it's so true. Oh, dude. Rock on. One pink for you, dude. Hey, when you open up that window,

don't forget, sun's coming in. That's good. Right? As a kid, we used to play in the sun to get vitamin D. Because schools only want to teach you the A, B, and Cs. That's so good, dude. That's bars. I was going to say, that's bars.

That's true bars, dude. That one, I feel like she got it. She's like, yeah. You know, schools only teach you the ABCs. Uh-huh. But that's why we have recess. But that's... Because you need the vitamin D.

Don't forget about recess. Yeah, for the vitamin D. She just goes letter by letter. And then you have choir, of course. Uh-huh. E chord. E chord. And then that's why they give out...

Nothing like the E chord in choir. And that's why they give out grades. Right. Because you can get an F. And hey, go to the inner city to see some g's is that too much that's a good spot to end because i can't think of anything for h anyway come on science yeah hey what do we start with h what do you mean what do we periodic table oh okay i should have said that h i there's no there's no i in team have you heard that i've heard that i bet she hasn't i bet she there's no there's no I in team have you heard that

I've heard that I bet she hasn't I bet she's tweeted it there's no I in team but there is a me but don't remember that but forget about that part but

hey you know doctors can play basketball J Dr. J eat your bananas I'm big on the periodic table Jay. Dr. Jay. Eat your bananas. I'm big on the periodic table. Yeah, potassium.

Don't pass. Don't pass the yum on potassium. Okay? That's a good one. Okay. Okay. Okay. Anyway, I was kind of shocked to see that because when rachel told me i was like i kind of get the vibe where you're saying and i looked at you i was like oh wow that would be kind of hard to come up with one of these every single day dude there's no way she's coming up with them there's she's fine there's an infinite for like fountain of those on google

somewhere yeah you're probably right i bet if we yeah I could do a, that'd be a fun game next week. I'll try to remember to come up with this. I will look up some and then I'll make some up and you have to guess. Which ones are hers? Not even hers. Like just in general, ones I find versus ones I wrote. Cool.

Okay. That's fun. You guys can play along at home or send them in. Send some in. Say, yeah, that's what we're going to do. I'm not going to do the work. I'm going to have the ghosties do the work. It's more fun.

DM me, Ellis Custom Creations on Instagram. DM me one fake one that you find or one fake one that you make up, one that you find. And we'll use them in the game. Fun. Okay. Should we go on to a new segment?

Yes. Let's do it. Tell them about the Sego. We're calling it Should Have Roasted Them. Should Have Roasted. Should Have Roasted Them. We got Roasted. Should Have Roasted Them. We got a new sponsor alert. Give me the new sponsor noise.

Oh, baby. This is another ghosty lead sponsor alert for the company Brio. If you guys don't know about Brio, it is literally the best, greatest, first ever invented smokeless fire pits made right here in the America and the America right here in the United Americans. And, uh, genuinely they are the greatest. I've had a Brio fire pit now for, uh, two years now. And I love it. Genuinely love it. Yeah. You're toasted mallows with Hattie. I'm serious. Ultimate s'mores. Wonderful roasted marshmallows. Yeah.

Off the Brio. It does sound nice. Just having a fire without the smoke. Yes. That's so nice. That's yeah. Bonfire teas will become irrelevant here in a little bit because of Brio. One step forward,

one step backwards for us. Yeah, exactly. We're losing money. Yeah. From the shirt sales, but that's okay. No,

genuinely Brio is, is wonderful. And they have this really cool, uh, system, not only the smokeless fire pit that they offer, but they offer all these accessories where you can grill out on the Brio. You can make steaks, you know, whatever, anything you want. And it's so fun. I'm going to put more in our stories about it, but you can literally do like cast iron skillets on there and you make eggs or pizza, or you can make, I made chicken the other night, chicken and steak on the Brio. And it was awesome. How about that? So fun. So, um, anyway, we can, we can talk more

about it, but right now we're going to do should have roasted them presented by Brio. Brio is roasting all the time. There are times in our lives where it's like, dang, I should have roasted, should have roasted, should have roasted on Brio. Um, okay. So my, uh, example comes from yesterday morning. I think we talked a couple weeks ago i thought i had a ring picked out for myself the fitness ring so chunky and clunky that i was like this is this is in the way right let's just go find one yeah so we went to uh oh hellsberg that's where i got rachel's ring from like oh i'll be loyal to them i'll go find me a ring and this woman there was just pretty condescending like just the entire time i was there give me uh

yeah go ahead just right off the bat um i come in pretty like i know exactly what i want hey what can i do for you guys today we're looking to get her ring cleaned real quick and then in the meantime uh i need my own wedding ring and she's like okay when is the wedding like it's in about a week and a half oh okay for which part the you getting a ring by a week and a half yeah yeah me getting the ring and so i was like is that okay because she doesn't say like anything she just goes oh okay and so i was like i mean so is there like you do not like those kind of people is there like a problem just like you know yeah we we have the english language and it can communicate so well so let's just like use words work yeah let's just let's talk in full sentences yeah and so he doesn't say anything it's like is that like a problem he's like i mean we can we can try to get

something in i mean we're not amazon over here yeah it sounds like oh my bad because we didn't even go to the mall one. This is like a huge Ellsberg. You would think they were in stock. Yeah. I, you know, and I guess maybe that is ignorance on me in hindsight, but she's like, we don't really carry any rings here. I was like, oh, I guess I'm the idiot. That's the, that's the age we live in now where it's like, nothing's in the store.

Why would it be? It's like, well, because it's a store. Yeah. I grew up like you're old enough to remember when the entire inventory was there. Yeah. You know, it's like, oh, we don't have that shoe. Oh, okay. No, we don't have that size.

Okay, cool. No TMAC twos. Okay. I'll, I'll get Iverson's. I think the only reason Best Buy and stores like that are probably in business because you can get it right away. Yes. I would suggest if you are a brick and mortar store these days, have it there.

You would think. Obviously engagement rings a little more custom. little bit different because you but just ring just because she's like so okay we can we can try what do you what do you need and i was like i am looking for like the simplest most basic i just want a gold ring gold ring if you think that's the simplest one buddy i have another thing coming. She was just like, okay. You're trying to be as easy as possible. Yeah, just like, I just want the simplest one.

That's it. Because I am seeing just a whole box of them right here. A bevy of them. Bevy is a good word. There's a bevy box in there. Any one of these. And I was like, I already know my size. And I was like, so let's just, let's have at it.

You already know your size? Oh, because of the other ring. The last ring. Yeah. And so we're kind of, you know, we're know my size. I was like, so let's just have at it. You already know your size? Oh, because of the other ring. The last ring. Yeah. And so we're kind of trying them on. Oh, I just remembered. That was a great thing. I try it on my right hand, and she was like, wrong hand. Why did you try it on your right hand, though?

Just curious. Honestly, because when I was trying out the old wedding ring, I was always putting it on my right hand. I was like, I don't want to put it on my left hand yet. That's reserved for the the wedding but you just assume that they're the same size okay and so and i i got a little sassy this isn't a roast but i got i made it funny but she was like wrong hand and i was just like oh sorry i'm one of those weird people where my fingers are the same size on both hands and i could i could feel rachel being like okay okay

kill him with kindness jake i was just like i i'm crazy i'm weird that way but there's and so but i was looking in a mirror and so i i got confused i still humored her i put it on the left hand and so i tried it on did you have rachel like look away like you don't want to you know i don't want you to see this before the wedding day you turn around babe and um yeah i've only ever called her babe just very sarcastically katherine's starting to do it more to me and i'm worried that it's like starting to like not be sarcastic hey can we cool it i was like please stop please don't do that i'm not a babe guy hey let's not rock on with that hey that's not rock on it that's not that's not that's not smack and so that was the second thing um and then it got to like i was you know we had it picked out and I was like, all right.

She was like, and this one has, I don't know if you're a fly fisherman, but this one has on the inside. Got one of those. It's like engraved with like this amazing, like intricate wilderness and a guy fly fishing on the inside of the ring. I don't know if you're a fly fisherman. Like lead with that. Because if you're not, you don't need that. It was crazy. Oh, and I don't know if you're a fly fisherman. Like, lead with that, because if you're not, you don't

need that. It was crazy. Oh, and I don't know if you're a mountain climber, but this one has, yeah, a carabiner on the inside with five finger shoes. Yeah. Oh, and I don't know if you're a chef, but this one has a whole knife set in the

inside. A beautiful French bistro in there. And I don't know if you've ever had a family member ever be like a pampered chef kind of salesman, but we've got some just kind of fun wooden pans. I don't know if you're a European, but there's a conversion chart here for milliliters to ounces. We just put that in there just in case.

You know, just in case you're not from here. That's amazing i we could go on i don't know i don't know if you're a carpenter uh you know but this has a a level and a square on there just in case you need it and it will stand straight up yeah there's a measuring tape on there i don't know if you grew up on well water, but there is a small reservoir of fluoride that we do. It is in there and you can, you can pry it out. And if you need fluoride, you can take it from your ring. I don't know if you're a, uh, I don't know if you're a DJ, but I mean, there's a, there's a QR code here that you scan and you can have personal access to Jay-Z video

calls, uh, where he can help you with your beats if you like listening music have you ever heard of an ipod micro nano one of those is in tucked inside this ring that's amazing oh by the way i don't know if you're a fly fisherman if you're into fly fishing this one does have that i was like um oh no i don't want the fly fishing package remember when i said the most basic simplest ring it's all right let's go back again. Sorry. This is sponsored by Brio, by the way. Brio is awesome. Should have roasted. Should have roasted.

I don't know if you're a smokeless fire pit fan, but no. The fact that she's like, we don't have very many in stock. And then she's like, oh, but by the way, we got the fly fisherman special over here. That's amazing. That's incredible. Like we don't have any in stock, but you know what? The one that we're going to have physically here is the fly fisherman one. That's amazing. That's incredible. Yeah. Like, we don't have any in stock, but you know what? The one that we're going to have physically here is the Fly Fisherman one.

We do have the Fly Fisherman engraving special. Unbelievable. And we have the Bicentennial Quarter. That one is also melted down and the engraving on the inside. I don't know if you're a collector of, yeah, ancient buffalo ruins. It's like, what? Yeah, they just have only the most rare rings there. Oh, my gosh. And so I was like, I'm going to go without the fly fisherman special.

And I was like, so how much? Those are reserved for right-handed finger guys, you know. Freaks. Yeah. And so I was like, how much is that? She's like, this one we're looking at, 14 karat gold. That is $1,500. And I was like, oh, my gosh.

Okay. No. Like, remember, like, I just I just want like the most basic. Yeah Do you have any that are yeah? It's not that well We can we could make it a little cheaper if we make it thinner not as wide right now We gave you a 8 millimeter like a ring. Okay. I was like, okay I did like it was a little wide. What else can we try? It's we go down to six I'm like, I think I could go thinner five. I'm like really let's try thinner and she was like okay i gotta

say something i would not recommend the four millimeter and i was like oh why do you say that in my head i'm like i think the thinner is better i'm kind of excited she's like because i would make less money off of you maybe turn but no she didn't say that she said something weirder she said i just think the formula four millimeter ones look really feminine. Oh. And I was like about to be the one I chose. And so I was like, okay. And so then I kind of said it out loud to try and be funny once again. And I was like, I made it seem like I was whispering to Rachel,

but obviously loud enough for her to hear. And I was like, I really want to go with the four millimeter, but I want her to think I'm manly. Trying to make light of it. And in my head thinking like, why would you pre-shame someone when they were potentially trying to make light of it and in my head thinking like why would you yeah pre-shame someone when they were potentially about to make a purchase like if you work at you know nordstrom rack uh do you have that in size four yes but i don't know if you're gonna look good in it yeah right what i would do a size six if i were you brenda it's like uh okay come on yeah it's one thing like i feel that way with woodworking.

When I'm making a custom table for somebody with all these custom creations. I've seen your living room. I don't think that's going to match, but I'm not going to discourage you from getting it. Yeah, if I were her, I would say, you know, the most popular sizes are eight and six, but we do have a four if you like that. If that's what you want. And then let Rachel say, I don't like that. Totally.

Or, man, you look hot in that thing. How many times have I edited a video for someone and they ask for something? They're just like, well, I made it the way I made it because that's how I thought it would be. But if you want it even slower motion, you're the client. Sure. I can do it. That's what you want. You know? So it was just like, that was kind of strike three. It was like, Oh, you're like pre shaming a purchase I'm about to make. Like I truly was going to get. And obviously if that one is $1,500, you're still spending a good amount of money on the four millimeter one, right? No fly fishermen on there, but it's, I was like, all right, no fly fishermen for me millimeter. How

much would that be? And that was still like $600. So I was like, oh, okay. Okay. I'm out too much, but thank you. And so that was a moment. If I look back at it, probably should have, should have said all the things we said now, but I didn't say it. How do we, how do we get her to listen to the podcast? If, if you know, if you're going to Hillsburg diamonds this week in Kansas, it's the one by Shake Shack and town center. Oh, good. Yeah. That's, that's the one. So yeah. If you, if you're happened to go in there or be in the area to say, Hey, do you guys mind listening to the ghost? No reason. I would love to hear a rebuttal. Cause I am so confident that I portrayed everything as accurate as it truly happened. That's funny. Maybe the four millimeter is like similar to the women's size, but who cares if you

like it, if Rachel likes it, especially this day and age to discourage someone from doing something because it would look feminine. I'm going to get in trouble, lady. Yeah, you can't say that. I wouldn't say that to just anyone. You can't assume that Rachel's your fiance. Yeah, my sister. Yeah, could be.

She used to be my brother. So you want to say that? So there. Yeah, this is my sister. Yeah, could be. She used to be my brother. So you want to say that? So there.

The phenomenon returns to Paramount+. The only way we go home is together. From new season now streaming exclusively on Paramount+. So I was at the gym this past week and I was in the locker room. I don't usually tell locker room stories, Jake, because, you know, locker room talk, you know. They're the boys. But there was a guy that I was thinking, I thought to myself, I should have roasted this guy. I wrote it down. Um, I kinda, you know, we've talked about before, like I have an audio memory, like whatever. Um, so he started doing

this and at first I wasn't counting and I eventually counted there's these things, you know, like whatever this is, we, I have a nicer gym lifetime. They have all these amenities. One of them is like these spray bottles of lotion, hairspray. And one of them is called deodorant. It doesn't smell great. I've, I've, I've used it. I've tried it once. I don't like it. I think it's genuinely like just a smell thing though. Not like a antiperspirant anyway. Um, but this guy sprayed himself 23 times with the deodorant. Oh my gosh. I mean, this guy's probably late thirties, early forties, like not a young, like it was like, it was like the equivalent of like X when you're seventh grade, you know, you just cake that stuff on. Like he started spraying

himself and I thought to myself, well, he's doing that a lot of times. And I thought to myself, I have enough skill in my head to where I can start counting and like here, like I can catch up with him 23 times. He sprayed himself. And I thought, wow, I think he might've been European judging by his like underwear. He, they were a little bit more like they weren't, they weren't briefs or they weren't boxers. They were more like, you know, hiking it up there. Anytime I see someone, I think they might be European. I say, take off your pants. I say, let me see your underwear. Let me see your undies. Let me see what those things look like you know there was like briefs or highways um yeah they were and so I was like maybe this is just

how they do it in Romania or something yeah um you know gets dressed a little bit more and I was like this is where I get this is where I'm like definitely write it down for the podcast 16 more sprays that is crazy like I'm thinking like spray like that like anything more than like three is excessive anything more than six I would say like what in the world is going on? And then 23 plus 16. And he just took a shower. Like it wasn't like, because he was getting on some clothes that I was like, maybe those are his workout clothes and he wants to be deodorized beforehand.

But nope, like the more he put on, the more I was like, oh, those are just normal shorts. They were also pretty long shorts, which made me think he was European again. Okay. Just like awkwardly, like, no, people aren't wearing them that long anymore. They were like almost caprice. Anyway, let me just do really quick 23 sprays for you. Okay. Just to imagine, cause it was one of those things where it's like, Whoa, this is getting crazy. So yeah. 23. And that's like, whoa, that's wild. I need to like roast this guy.

Like, what are you doing? And then three minutes later. Isn't that crazy? So many sprays. My only defense. And it doesn't even smell good. And it's not even the good stuff. No, it's not even like your own cologne that you brought or something good. It's like the stuff they give you for free.

I mean, whatever, in your membership. Here's what I'll say. He better be OCD and it better be a problem. And I want to see like a doctor's note. Like he better have proof. Like he has been diagnosed. He better have medication for his OCD if you're doing that. There's something about it where it's just like that.

Yeah. What normal person thinks that that is, that is not adequate when you stop, like whatever you want to be a little bit like smelly, like smell good. Do eight. That, that to me is like, that's a lot, but like at least nice even number. Yeah. At least it's like, okay, that's you, you, you like to get it everywhere on your body or something.'s like that 39 39 sprays that's half the bottle you know that like he's the only money's worth yeah exactly he's like i'll i'll get my money when i had a uh what's it called plant fitness membership i'd always get a few tootsie rolls take a little bit back that's right you think you you think you hacked the system i got it back

dude if i had like clinical ocd like if i really did have a problem with that i would not spray at all like don't it's a slippery slope. Don't do anything like that. Just get out of there. Touch the doorknob 39 times if that's what you have to do. Maybe so. Yeah, I don't know. Don't spray.

It was a very interesting experience and I was the only one in the little like pod besides him. You had no one to kind of get eye contact with? I got one to be like, is anybody else seeing this?

You smelling this? 23 times. And then it would be like, and he started, 16 more times. so anyway that's kind of fun kind of fun kind of crazy so uh should have roasted them didn't but you can roast marshmallows on a brio b-r-e-e-o.com smokeless fire. Honestly, just check them out for the cool accessories alone. Even if you're like, oh, I don't need a fire pit right now.

So I'm sorry, ghosties. Fun. Yeah. Last week you were Columbus, Grand Rapids, Wabash. Is that correct? Just those three? Yeah. Okay. So we got some friendly people from Canada. Looks like. Yeah. It looks like I haven't opened any of these. Oh, is this from, who's this from? Do you remember? There were like, there were a whole handful of Canadians

that came down. Was it Jen? Do you know? I think like, there were a whole handful of Canadians that came down. Was it Jen? Do you know? I think she would have said something. Maybe. Jen who? Jen. Jen. Jen with seven N's or something like that.

I have to look back. I don't think it was. I don't know. The Canadian that I met, she came through Kansas City and you were out of town. Gotcha. And she brought a bunch of Canadian things. And one of them was some chips.

And if those chips are the same chips, daddy's going to be jazzed. Oh, fun. They were real good. And it was like all these things that are only from Canada. Yeah, I think that's what they got us. There were a whole crew of Canadians who came. They drove so far. It was like seven hours because then the person after them in line was a Canadian.

And he only drove three hours. It was like, you can get to Canada from here in three hours? Pretty crazy. Crazy. He got his passport just to come to the show. Kind of cool. That's fun. These are ketchup lays.

Oh, those aren't the same, but those do sound fun. Glad you're jazzed about them. Canadian thing. This is just a heap of chocolate or something. That thing is huge. How heavy is that?

Farmer's market. What is this? Pre-marked bars. It's not... Pre-marked? I don't know. I don't know what this is. I don't know if it's fudge. I don't know if it's brownie. Oh, yeah. This is dense.

And then look at this. The maple leaf bottle. Huge thing of syrup. Oh, dude! That, I bet, is... Whoa, this is weird. Jakeman's. Canada's best tasting maple syrup. Oh, this is like a cake of some sort. See that?

I almost thought that the outside of this cardboard was chocolate. We should have tried it. This is a candy bar. Proud partner of the NHL. Nestle Coffee Crisp. Dude, I got some of those from Jen and they are nice. Fun. Thanks for the Canadian things in the Canadian bag. Rachel's going to love this.

Jen, if you're listening, Jen gave us all these different things. One of them was these eggs, these kids' eggs that have toys inside of them. They're like candy eggs, like chocolate eggs. They have toys inside of them, so they're illegal in the United States. So technically she smuggled things in.

They're illegal because it's like a choking hazard. I see. But my kids love them. And to this day, we still have a few of them left. And Hattie just opened one the other day. We do this thing with Hattie called Desert Island every once in a while, or I do. Yeah. Where it's like, okay, you can only have one chocolate for the rest of your life. What would it be?

I asked her yesterday. She said, I would have those chocolate eggs with the prizes inside of them. So there you go, Jim. Yeah. This is pretty cool. From someone else, we got matching hats. Oh, yeah. But they don't match perfectly. Bag my dough.

Establish 2014? Mine says, bag my dough. Establish 2023. That is cute. Fun. Fun hats. And then they got them for Rachel and Catherine, too, that just say dough, right? I'm the dough. I'm the dough.

No. Okay. I don't think so. Great. Thank you, Canadians and Americans alike. For your service. Thank you for what you did. Yeah.

Let's see. Maybe just a couple more quick things. Yesterday, right after Helzberg, we go next door to Shake Shack. We're in there. Who walks in? Guy I was talking about recently on the podcast. Music producer Zane. Zane Callister. He walks in. got to see him in public. It was so good to see him and Try think what happened oh, I think right when he walked in this was kind of fun

I thought you would appreciate this okay, so there was ESPN was on Shake Shack, and they were talking about Joe Burrow Yeah, so just kind of randomly I asked Rachel. I was like how you what are your thoughts about Joe Burrow. Yeah. So just kind of randomly, I asked Rachel, I was like, how are you, what are your thoughts on Joe Burrow? She's like, how are you feeling about him? She's like, I think he's blonde. He plays for the Bengals and he looks like the kid from Home Alone. Thank you.

All those things. Yeah. And I was like, good, good, good. And she's like, and he's like, I think he's okay at football. And I was like, oh, he's like, he's pretty good. He's probably the second best QB. Oh, I don't know about that. And so then I was like, all right, actually, let's see. I was like, oh, he's pretty good. He's probably the second best QB. Oh, I don't know about that.

And so then I was like, all right, actually, let's see. I was like, Rachel, who do you think is in the top 10 of NFL QBs? Okay. And we went through it and went over it.

And then right after that, Zane walked in. I was like, Zane, it was like, good to see you, man. You know, yada, yada, which is what Zane was like, dude, I was literally just listening to you.

Really? I was listening to you on the way in. You and Brad were just talking about this and this and this. Oh, no way. So he's a ghost. He's fun.

And so I was like, Rachel and I were just talking about top 10 NFL QBs. What do you think? And just without skipping a beat, he's like, hey, where do you put a healthy Matt Stafford? And just suddenly him and Rachel are just having a conversation. Rachel's like, number one on cutest family. Number one on cutest family. I don't think he's in the top 10, though. And does she really know some stuff?

Yeah, a little bit. Like she knew who Matthewthew tyler was she she wanted to put uh trevor lawrence at like fifth and i was like that's kind of close i would say like seventh maybe really yeah and so anyway so it was fun to to talk through that uh but zane and i i just love having unique relationships so the guy i got dinner with last night for instance stew we only leave each other voicemails been doing it for i guess nine years now um and zane you know becoming good friends but only dm each other for some reason just never got each other's number but then when zane saw me yesterday he was like dude you see my dm i'm not able to come to

And then he sent his top 10 NFL wide receivers.

Running backs? And then he sent me running backs, and then I sent him running backs. So that's all we'd really texted about until we kind of told him about like, yeah, the Hellsberg across the street, they're trying to charge us all this. I was like, I think we're just going to get one off Amazon. And Zane's like, dude, mine's off Amazon. and so he sends me a link to his uh the ring he has it was the exact one already in my cart and then he texts again hey an fyi the one i'm wearing is four millimeters i was like this guy eskimo ring brothers i think is what the term yes so that was all just really fun

Thank you. Thank you very much. Okay, speaking of good ranchers, sorta, they're from Texas. Recently, I have been working in the wood shop a little bit more than normal. And I have noticed that when I speak to myself in my head, I have a Southern accent.

Fun. I don't know why. It's like a Southern woman's accent too. It's not even like, like if, if anybody dropped something, Oh, blast.

Yeah. If anybody's listening, that's from Canada, K country, Chelsea Ford specifically, there's this girl from Val D'Asta, Georgia. You have an exact person.

Yeah. She had, she had a lisp, and she was Southern, so it was like the sweetest little voice you've ever heard. What was her name? Chelsea? Yeah, people genuinely called her Chelsea. Okay, she's a good sport. She was great about it, yeah. Hey, I'm Chelsea Ford.

Chelsea Ford. Yeah, from Valdosta State. Okay. And so I would be thinking to myself, I'd be like, well, maybe this needs, this was 16 and 5 eighths by 11 and three quarters, I think. That's fun. You know, I'm like, what in the world am I doing?

So I don't know why, but that happened. Dude, do you want some of this? I'm starving. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Sorry.

Keep going. Anyway, that's just a random thing. I don't know if you have any quirks like that. What do you think of that? Whoa. Pretty good. It's a coffee candy bar. Yeah.

It's nice. Whoa. Canada knows what they're doing sometimes trudeau i don't know about that guy but most of the time they got figured out i like the metric system i think i've been on record before if if i didn't grow up with inches i would be very excited about yeah it just seems so easy it's so much easier and so much like like 11 and five-eighths inches divided by two is so much, I mean, it's not that complicated, but like, yeah, or times two 11 and five eighths times two is 22

and 10 eighths, which is 23 and two eighths, which is 23 and a quarter. Yeah. You know, whatever. It's like, Oh gosh, is that even right? Did I even do that? Right. Um, yeah. Whereas like, it's like, Oh, that's 42 millimeters times two. That's 84 millimeters. Like, it's like, I've seen some woodworkers that are like, Hey, you should sometimes use the inches and sometimes use metric if it makes sense. Wow. And I have not tried it, but I've thought about it. Um, anyway. Yeah. I don't, I don't know if you have any thoughts about the Southern thing. The main quirk that comes to mind that I think of is I think I've said before, like sometimes I will, instead of having a song in my head, I will have just a word in my head where it's like all day

long i just say that word to myself i've not heard this really yeah i'll just so like can you remember a word that you've mesothelioma really yeah it's just and what do you mean you just like you're just thinking about it throughout the day yeah like you're just like instead of like tapping along to you know the latest taylor swift song you're just like mesothelioma no it doesn't go to a music it's just it's just mesothelioma the last one i could actually remember what it's a type of um oh let's see if i could pull this out it's a it's a model of car it's like a mid-sized car palisades oh my gosh yeah that was the word stuck in my head for a while it's just like just palisades okay and it was just stuck in my head by stuck in your head are you seeing the word

kind of like are you no just like it's just like up there, just thinking about the word. Do you say it out loud? No, it's just in my head. It's just one of the many things that you're thinking about. Let me know next time you have, I'm curious about what the word could be. Yeah, I'll think about it more like intentionally next time it's in there. Is that like, do you ever get songs stuck in your head as well? Yes.

I think you do. You kind of sing them every once in a while. I think what we talked about before is I used to have just a default song it used to be beautiful soul by jesse mccartney recently actually noticed this yesterday rachel and i were in von mauer together and i which by the way von mauer you've been in there you know what that story is yeah my grandma loves it yeah it's it's fancy they were playing like like i called it vaudeville music and rachel's like what is vaudeville i don't know either oh really but um i don't know it was almost like old-timey carnival music in there. It did not fit the vibe at all.

So this had nothing to do with it. But in my own head, I had... Shoot, what is this song? If I Was Your Boyfriend, the old Justin Bieber song. We're probably six to 12 months now. That has been the default song. When nothing is in my head, I just sing that. Wait, I don't even know.

I don't know if I know that song i was singing of the girlfriends no sorry go ahead do you know it it's like uh i'd like to be everything you want hey girl it's just in your head all the time just that part that's funny i don't know why yeah that just gets that's the default. Interesting. I have one that I think has been my default forever. It's a mute math song. And it's like, not even like, I don't even know. I think it's like only live that they do this little riff.

Huh. But it's like, yeah, it's just very random. That's the default. It's just that, just the O's. Yeah. It's not even words. Cool. Sounds catchy. Yeah, oh, oh. It's just that, just the O's. Yeah, it's not even words. Cool. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Yeah, it's fun. So, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it's just random things. We're weird. Quirky. Fun. Quirks. I think I have one last thing to talk about this episode,

and I'll save the rest for Wednesday. Yeah, I got plenty for Wednesday. Which also, just a reminder, if you guys didn't listen to last Wednesday's episode, I think it's got to be one of the best. It's the best Wednesday episode without a guest, probably. Okay. Catherine and Rachel, our dads were good. But this one, just the Coke Pepsi taste test.

You got to see the results of it. Time in with the s'mores. We're recording this on a Wednesday, so I don't really know the pulse or what people's reactions are. But I just feel like, in my mind, it was the best. I wrote down, have you seen the Schmorz results? I did. Rachel told me she was winning, but I haven't looked at them. Jake, let me tell you real quick.

Is Tymon beating me with horse? Jake. Okay, so when I took this screenshot, 179 people had voted. Three people had voted for you. Brownies? And let me tell you what their names were. Three people. 179 people had voted for you brownies and let me tell you what their names were three people 179 people have voted three people voted for you person number one sammy kirby person number two rebecca janowski ramos person number three jake triplett i got in there early so two people out of 178 voted for you no one liked liked it. I don't know. I'm not good at this. I've never

seen it that low. That is shocking. The Britney Spears thing was strange, but still I thought like gasoline would resonate with some people. Brownies are pretty universally loved. That's crazy. I'll take my L. That's just kind of wild that it's that bad. Isn't that crazy? I thought it was definitely going to be between you and Rachel. Rachel is winning, and I'm a little bit close to her. Tymon is pretty low down there, and you're barely even a blip on there. Tymon is beating me with horses and vanilla? Yeah. Go ahead, and I'll pull up the rest of them.

Maybe we were too mean to Tymon. They feel bad. People kind of came to his defense. Let's see. Currently, Jake, you have six votes. Jeez. Including two people with the last name Triplett. Yikes.

You and your dad. Well, we have the same genes. That makes sense. Your dad's like, that gasoline does smell good. That ethanol they make these days. And Tymon's got 27 votes. Rachel is going to win this week anyway. But it was fun to do schmores.

Yeah. Just amazing time with Tymon. I look back at the video of us when he said the horses and it was great. All three of us were just like, oh, really? And then Tymon leaning into it

like, you know, your first pig with brownies or something. He was like, oh, it's a terrible pig. He just did a great job. I miss Tymon. Yeah, go listen to last week's Wednesday job. So I miss Tymon. Yeah. Go listen to last week's Wednesday episode. Tymon will be back next week. Yeah.

Maybe we just all just save it all for Wednesday. Let's just save it all for Wednesday. Yeah. Let's do our. Oh, my gosh. Reviews of the week. And then we'll get into a jingle. We'll try it.

Guys, we've done so many episodes. And yet I bet at least half the time I forget to pull up a review of the week beforehand. So I apologize. This one is from Diane. Her username says Diane from Altoona, Pennsylvania. Okay. Impressive you got that in there. Is the title of that one just her name? It's also her name. Love it.

Diane, let us know how old you are. Just out of curiosity. Okay. She says, thank you for keeping me laughing during my work day. You're welcome. Okay, so she still works. So she's not too old. Not only does it make my day better, but it keeps my coworkers guessing why I'm laughing out loud.

Is she listening to something funny or is she a serial killer? Keep up the awesome job. Thanks, Diane from Altoona, PA. Okay. I'm kind of figuring out one versus the other. Let's do this one. This is from Amy Marie Sullivan. Her review is called Amy Marie Sullivan. Just kidding. It's called Hits Home with five stars. I'm a 31-year-old female living in Chicago. I'm getting married in September and I love listening to these guys just banter for an hour. I'm more of a bro chick and

my fiance and I, and my fiance is more of a female who has a four millimeter ring. It doesn't say that. I'm more of a bro chick and my fiance and I love the topics you talk about. He can relate to you both and I can relate to the female side.

Thanks for giving the people a clean Christian-based podcast that isn't dry as heck. That's fun. She's describing us as wet. We are wet, baby. Thank you for a a clean wet podcast yeah fun let's say thank you memory should we call ourselves the wettest podcast in kansas

Not really. Scott loves saying wet ball all the time. Wet ball. Wet ball. Anyway. Scott's listening to this right now.

He's going to say it out loud to himself. Wet ball. Oh, wet ball. All right. Let me pull up your little jingle link. This is from Shannon Powers. Shannon Powers wrote this one along with her kids, I believe, Rachel, Caroline, and Ella.

They're from Tennessee. And this song is a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. You were playing it earlier and I was like, I really like the original of the song and I never ever listened to it, but it had my foot,

not even tapping, I'd say stomping. I was trying, I might screw this one up because I don't know it super well, Shannon, but I learned it for you and I'm going to try.

I feel confident in your ability to nail the chorus? Yes. Here we go! One, two, three. On a warm summer's evening, on a car bound for nowhere, I met up with my ghosties.

We were both too tired to sleep, so we took turns of staring. Out the window at the darkness The boredom overtook us And Brad began to speak Brad said, son, I've made a life Making people's tables Knowing what they needed

Cause every show's a winner And every show's a five star And the best that you can hope for Is a jingle you can sing. When Jake finished speaking, he turned back toward the window, turned off his MacBook Pro, faded off to sleep. And somewhere in the darkness, Brad was making tables.
