Jake, stop me if you've heard this one before, but we are trying to potty train our son, Bo. Stop. Wait. I have heard this before. Calm down, calm down. Stop. Hey, stop freaking out.

Yeah, I think it was, I mean, at least a year ago, we tried to do this genuinely. I mean, it was, yeah, it was definitely when Rosie was born. Like, well, I guess that doesn't mean it was a year ago, but it was a long time ago. I tried to, we tried to do it. It didn't work out. So, but the, the pedals to the metal now, because, uh, this summer he's going to mother's day out, uh, one day a week and he has to be potty trained by then. And so it's like, it's, it has to happen or else he can't go. And so

what happens at mother's day out? Uh, you know, I don't think they're truly allowed to let you know everything these days. I think that's between the teacher and the kid. But yeah, I think it's just a lot of glue sticks, a lot of... Oh, it's like preschool. Yeah, it's like preschool. Oh, okay, cool. Yeah, it's basically just a little church preschool time. Anyway, but yeah, we're potty training them.

And growing up, I don't know about you but we were never allowed to say the word p we were interesting i think p was totally fine i think once i got to like 12 you know i was i i let it loose you moved on from tinkle i but i think we said potty maybe as a kid i'm not really sure or like i need to go to the bathroom i don't know i don't i didn't say i gotta go p i need a drip but you know what what? Like literally P is a, is a letter, right? Right. Uh, we, for Bo, we don't say like P, but we say TT. What, why does that seem better to me? The other letter? Yeah. It's also too, it's, it's a letter twice. I don't know. I don't know what that's about. I don't know why that's more socially acceptable.

So can we think of other things that are socially acceptable to say for? Instead of pee? Mm-hmm. Bow? Bow. Bow. Do you need a leak? Do you need to go let it out?

Do you need to go? Hey, do you need a power wash? Do you need to go drain the sponge? The sponge? Do you need to go wring out the sponge? Yeah, wring out too. Because Catherine's not big on Bo was, you know, touching himself to... I got to see Bo try to go to the bathroom yesterday outdoors.

Yeah. And I think he was kind of, you know, he was aiming his bow a little high. Sure. Bo's bow. Yeah. And she was was aiming his bow a little high. Sure. Bow's bow. Yeah. And she was like, no, point it down. Yeah. And then she was like, well, don't hang on to it.

His arrow. Yeah. His arrow was a little bit out of the quiver. And so, yeah. She's like, I'll let go of it. Like, well, you don't get a, it's not a joystick. Yeah. She doesn't like the ringing out of the sponge.

Yeah. Maybe. So I don't, TT, maybe TT is the best. I don't know. That's interesting. Yeah. You've, cause I didn't, I didn't tt. Maybe tt is the best. I don't know. That's interesting. Yeah, you because I didn't even hear tt yesterday. I heard potty potty is what pot. Catherine is calling the actual throne that he's sitting on is the potty. I went to the potty. I went on the potty and to me growing up potty was the act, not the noun. It was the verb, if that makes sense.

I need to potty. I need to go potty. Yeah. You wouldn't even say go potty. I need to potty. Either one. Yeah. Either.

Yeah. I don't know. Rachel and I have found out that we, I always thought potty was solid, brown. Do you know what I'm describing? Yeah. That's crazy to me. that's what i always thought for some reason i know that it's just so funny to think that because it'd be like i always thought you know water was solid and brown it's like no so that's not the same yes it is when you when you

when you just know for sure in your head like this is a liquid and then you say no it's it's solid i'm like whoa that's mind-blowing to me potty which is always like ah gross ah weird that's not p and so rachel's had to educate we should like no this you know i i grew up and it means you know either i guess it just means like going to the bathroom basically yeah on the potty yeah yeah recently we were walking into i think like a high v like a grocery store And she was like This is good We're stopping in here Because I need to go potty anyway And I go

Oh And she goes My potty And then she goes My choice And I was like That's good My potty

My choice I gotta use that That is good And so I did I started using that on stage From Rachel Really Making the comment in person

Wow It goes okay People are a little uncomfortable Eh Doesn't go great in Seattle. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too.

Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet because this is the Ghost Brothers Podcast. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Ghost Brothers Podcast.

Yeah, sure made me laugh. But the people in Seattle, a little more on edge. But Birmingham next week? They're going to love it. Eat it up. That's what I'm talking about, boy. Yeah, I'll start a rally on accident. Not careful.

How is the potty training going though? It, we, we have hope Jake. We, we, we feel like it's, it's progressing.

Every time he goes in the potty, he gets two marshmallows and a sticker on his shirt. Don't make jokes about the marshmallows. You, I mean, yeah, that makes it that you have to positively reward the good behavior. Like,

yeah. And he gets so pumped to come tell me. There was one time where I had to go to the restroom as well. And so I went in one bathroom, he went in the other

and he actually went in the potty. And so now we're potty buddies. I thought that was like a cool like branding thing. Like potty bros. Yeah, we're potty buddies because you went too. Good job.

And he loves that. Yeah, dad and I are potty buddies. So I don't know. I think. I was trying to talk to him about it yesterday. I was like, Bo, do you still go to the bathroom in your pants? He's like, no. I was like, you only use like big kid toilets?

I didn't say potty probably. And he was like, yep. And I was like, that's awesome. And Catherine's like, 30 minutes ago, he just, he went nuts on his own pants. Literally, we had to throw away the underwear. Yeah, I was like, well, they were his dinosaur ones. I mean, they're like his special occasion on these and you're going to throw them out. I got it all over the stegosaurus. Dang. So yeah. Anyway, he it's, it's going okay. I think, uh, I think we'll be there soon enough. We're, we're like committed to like, don't give up, never surrender. But it's hard because like

when they're not completely potty trained and you have other things to do, like he had to go with Hattie and Catherine to gymnastics the other day for Hattie's gymnastics. It's not like, okay, let's just hope that he doesn't go in his pants. It's like, no, you got to put the diaper back on. And then it like reset, it feels like it resets the timeline or at least take, you know, one step backwards, two steps forwards kind of thing. So I don't know. It's like you want to, oh, I cut myself pretty bad. I want to take the gauze off.

Oh, well now it just restarts the bleeding again. All right, put it, put it back on there and firm this time because, because we have to go to gymnastics. We don't want blood everywhere, you know? So anyway, but yeah, I'm confident in them. I think it's one of those things. It's very interesting because it's just like he doesn't, he just needs to be trained on like the feeling of like,

oh, I need to go. Like, oh, it's coming soon. Yeah. It's just really hard for me, at least. I'm not a great teacher of those kind of things. Like, I'm so glad that I'm married to Catherine. Like, because I think she's so much more like committed and patient with those things.

I would just be like, I don't know how to teach him. I just hope he figures out eventually on his own. It'd be hard to teach someone to listen to their bodily functions and hey, listen to your nerve endings. I don't know how you'd tell someone about that. My theory, which we haven't... Catherine's kind of tried, but I think we need to try it

way more extremely. If it were like, dad is doing this by himself, I would find the thing, the drink he loves most in the world. And I would just literally give him as much of that as he wants. And to the point where he's like, he cannot help but go to the bathroom and just like, so he just continues to learn what it feels like to have to go.

Yeah. And I think Catherine's like, yeah, I do that with like, you know, LaCroix or, you know, like all these,

like some liquid IV. That's a runs through. Yeah. But I Catherine's like, yeah, I do that with like, you know, LaCroix or, you know, like all these. Get him some liquid IV. That's a runs through you. But I'm just like, but we just need to get something that he cannot stop drinking. Because like, he'll drink a little bit of LaCroix and be like, I'm done. He said yesterday, he's like, that's too spicy. Yeah. Hurts my nose, is that what he said? It hurts my nose.

It's in my nose. It's in my nose. Yeah. And so it's like, no, you got to give him something like, I don't know, apple juice, just like added sugar in the apple juice or something. Let them chug it. Yeah. And like, all right.

And then of course you get sick and then that's the reverse of that theory. Yeah, bad conditioning. Anyway, it's one of those things that I am so jealous whenever I see a kid that's potty trained. Especially if they're Bo's age or younger, I'm just like, dang it, you parents, how'd you do it? Teach me your ways. So you've been changing Bo's diapers for three, I'm just like, dang it, you parents, how'd you do it? Teach me your ways. So you've been changing Bo's diapers for three years.

It's crazy, isn't it? That is a long time. Yeah. And then obviously it compounds whenever you have another kid in diapers because then it's like, man, I've changed a lot of diapers today. Man, I've, yeah.

Like there was one time I think we got off the phone or maybe we were hanging out or whatever we were doing. And I got home and I like was changing a poopy diaper. Like the first minute I was there, I was like, I bet Jake's not doing anything like this. It's my life. That's crazy.

Yeah. You've changed a lot of diapers, a lot of diapers. I get pretty, you get pretty good. I'm pretty, I don't know how to like grade that. Cause I don't want anybody else like an independent,

you know, scout in my room looking at this, but I think I could go up with the best of them as far as dads go. Moms are a different level, dude. Catherine is incredible at changing diapers. But among the dads, you do all right. I think I do very well. Yeah.

I got the one hand down as far as pinning them, but you got to pin them in like a soft yet forceful way. You have to be like, like hey you're not going anywhere I'm in charge you're not moving yeah I'm in charge but I'm not gonna bruise you yeah kind of thing so it's just all it's all part of the part of the part of the art part of the part of the role part of the job yeah so anyway um I have no do you have anything? I have a few, uh, uh, Maddie Pruitt motivated quotes from the ghost. Oh, that's right. They're supposed to send them in, weren't they?

Yeah. Let's do it. We got some good ones. Um, so if you don't remember, yeah, Jake last week talked about Maddie Pruitt and her just really cheesy, inspirational tweets and Instagram posts and everything. And, uh, so, uh, some ghosties sent in both fake and real, uh, sayings. And you,

Jake, get to guess which one's fake, which one's real. That's fun. Okay. So, uh, I'll just choose a few of my favorites here.

So we got Billy Humphrey. Uh, there's two of them here. When you try and fail, give thanks for trying. Wait, hold on. When you, when you try and fail, give thanks for trying. Wait, hold on. When you try and fail, give thanks for trying.

Okay. I don't like that one. What you appreciate, appreciates. Ooh, that one's good. When you try and fail, thanks for trying. Give thanks for trying. What you appreciate, appreciates. The give thanks for trying has got to be made up.

I barely understand it. Correct. Correct. When you try and fail, hey, give thanks for trying. God, thanks for letting me try. Thank you body, brain, for

having the ability to try and do bad at that thing. Thanks for trying. Okay. That's funny. Let that thing. Thanks for trying. Okay. That's funny. Let's see. Natalie Calvert. Okay. She just sent one.

Tell me if it's real or fake. Those who stick to doing what they do best may never do what they do best because they're stuck doing what they did best. Too wordy. She got it. She had to make that up. Those who stick to doing what they do best because they're stuck doing what they did best. Too wordy. She got it. She had to make that up. Those who stick doing what they do best may never do what they do best because they're

stuck doing what they did best. This is actually a quote from Michael Gary Scott when he started the Michael Scott Paper Company. Is it really? I don't know it. I don't know what this... Natalie, cite your source. Oh, I guess you already did.

Natalie, prove your source. Yeah, put it on our Facebook group. So thanks, Natalie your source. Oh, I guess you already did. Natalie, prove your source. Yeah, put it on our Facebook group. So thanks, Natalie. Interesting. Let's see, Cason Crow. I don't know why it says Cason Crow Internet on here. That's a weird thing in my notes. Cason Crow, he's got two of them.

Tough times never last, but tough people do. Okay, bars. Tears are just sadness leaving the body, making room for healing. That one's got to be made up. Tears are just sadness leaving the body, making room for healing. Because I feel like I've seen a similar quote in high school weight rooms where they say pain is... Right.

What is it? Sweat. Pain is weakness leaving... Pain is weakness leaving the body. Yeah. But I like the making room for healing. That's kind of sweet. Tears are just sadness. Leaving the body, making room for healing. I like that. That's sweet. It's like two, like on the nose, like, yeah, you do cry when you're sad. So yeah, of course it's sadness. Leaving the body. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. Tears that happen when you're sad, a smile goes up because so is your mood. Maybe just tears. No, I don't know. Yeah. That's, that's a good one. Thanks.

Okay. Uh, Cheryl, don't let the changing currents blow your wings off course. It had a shot. Okay. Don't let the changing currents blow your wings off course and number two your wings already exist all you have to do is fly i mean they just seem so night and day i mean it's got to be the first ones made up right correct come on wow 100 so far all right don't let the current blow your wings off course. Why would a bird need motivational? Like that only applies to birds. Yeah, they're both wings. This one, I don't know which one's real and which one's fake.

So let's just decide. Ava Clark, you can't get to cloud nine without going through the thunderstorm. I like that. That sounds like something we would say. It's not the number of breaths we take, but the number of moments that take our breath away. Oh, that's yeah. Yeah. What's that? Yeah, I've heard that somewhere in a movie.

Okay, Hannah knits. He's got a bunch of them and I'll just I'll say right now. They're all made up. Oh, fun. Want a change of scenery? Take a walk. Want to change your life make a plan okay yeah yeah that's pretty good i wish it would have rhymed though rhyme uh walk and the last thing yeah abcb

want to change the scenery take a walk want to change your life? Start to stalk. Start to stalk. Like find somebody and chase after them. Or like. Cornfield. Yeah. Yes. Be a farmer. Sometimes we're trying so hard to get things done. We miss what's important in the end. That one sucks.

That just seems like that's like real. That's a sentence. Hey, sometimes when we're trying so hard to get things done, we just miss what's important in the end. Yeah, I agree. Bigger isn't always better. Just ask the ant. A-U-N-T.

No. No. Bigger isn't always better. Just ask the ant. Because ants can lift 20 times their body weight. Okay, but how pumped would you be if you were a human-sized ant? You'd be very strong. Just ask the ant.

I bet that ant would be like, I'd rather be the big ant. Just ask them. So bigger is always better. Just ask them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. Also, I've never been able to hear an ant talk.

I can't communicate. Hey, crack a smile. I like it. Brighten a day. Okay. Not bad. Okay. Okay. Crack a smile. Um, what do you, yeah. It's got to have an element of like, yeah, you kind of crack something, crack a smile, unveil a treasure. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Like pop open a smile and drink a new friendship, you know, like something like that. Like it's gotta have a friendship. I don't even know how to describe what I'm saying.

It's gotta have some, some artistry to it. Sure. Don't be so busy trying to prove yourself to others that you forget who you are. Nah, nah, Hannah.

Some of these are great though. Uh, okay. And then, uh, just one last little note from Nicolette. She says, I've been listening.

She has sent a message about this. I've been listening to your podcast for a while and love you guys, little note from Nicolette. She says, I've been listening. She just sent a message about this. I've been listening to your podcast for a while and love you guys, but I'll keep it short. Sitting here listening to the podcast as you make fun of this girl for her basic tweets. And all I have to say is that if you look at almost my entire Instagram, it's all of those quotes. I literally used to Google search quotes about dot, dot, dot,

Quick question. If she's your wife, do you still have to look at her respectfully, or can you look at her disrespectfully? You still have to look at her respectfully. Got it. But you can look at her, buddy. Just the way you looked at me when you started that sentence. I was like, oh, boy, what have I started?

My win is going to be my groomsmen. Just great. Yeah? And they've been my win of the week because they haven't talked to me. I'm like, that's been the key. It's like I have so much other stuff going on. I'm feeling very thankful that I don't have my groomsman

blowing me up or asking a ton of questions. I've been asked one question and it wasn't even from Luke. He was like, hey, my wife is wondering this. I think groomsmen right now have asked zero questions. I asked a question. That's true. You asked about the showers. Just to clarify. Yeah, they don't. They don't have showers, which is fine.

I was just trying to make sure. I was like, I can't just go straight from this to this because I'm going to the showers. Just to clarify. Yeah, they don't. They don't have showers, which is fine. I was just trying to make sure. I was like, I can't just go straight from this to this because I'm going to be sweaty. Nope, fine. Everything will be in the same area. Yeah, you're right. You know it. That's why we're not worried.

That's why we're not asking many questions. Yeah, it's just great. I'm just feeling very, very thankful. I don't think Rachel's in the same boat. I think it's been revealed to me how great my groomsmen are. They're just very chill. Yeah, man. It's awesome. Yeah. I said, Hey guys, go get a black suit. It'd be in Iowa. Everyone's like, okay, no, nothing else was asked. Black suit. Yeah. You did keep it pretty simple with

that. I'll say that. Yeah. I was like, I don't even care what it looks like. Just, I think I, yeah, you would, it would be so fun to like mess with you with the suits because you would never notice. I don't think. You're just so not observant with that stuff. You know what I mean? Probably not. Yeah, men's fashion. Right.

I could wear a tuxedo, I bet, and you'd be like, yeah, I think Brad's in a black suit. Maybe. I did just in the past month, I talked to a woman at the store and I said, what is the difference in a suit and a tuxedo? And she broke it down for me. But do you think you would notice on your wedding day? I don't know. I never had one. I don't think, I don't think you would notice any of our stuff unless it's like obviously

different. And I don't think a tuxedo. So I, if I wore a suit shirt, like if I wore a suit shirt and a tie and just had my tuxedo on, even if I did notice, I probably wouldn't say anything because I don't care. You'd be like, oh, it's black. You nailed it. What did they say? The only, what are the differences? I know there's like a stripe down the pants. Yes, that's good. It just, I think she might be only talking about the jackets,

but the, yeah, like the collar is a little more of a shinier look in a tuxedo typically. And the other thing was the buttons. Tuxedo, the buttons are like thing was the buttons tuxedo the buttons are like uh was it convex concave they're rounded like a turtle back almost like and they like have like um you know maybe some material over the edges of them whereas like the suit is just the button it looks like a button you know what i mean sure yeah i didn't describe it great but i feel like often like tuxedo shirtsedo shirts have black buttons too.

Oh, the undershirt would have a black button. Undershirt. Oh, you're talking about the suit. Sorry, I'm talking about the jacket. Oh, I don't know what you're talking about with the buttons, but I believe you. Anyway, maybe I should wear the tuxedo to the rehearsal. Sure.

And then I'll wear the suit for the actual day. If you want to bring a tuxedo and a suit to Iowa, then go crazy. It's going to be awesome. Anyway, that's my win of the rehearsal. Sure. And then I'll wear the suit for the actual day. If you want to bring a tuxedo and a suit to Iowa, then it's so easy to do. Go crazy. It's going to be awesome. Anyway, that's my win of the week. You guys are great. We're going to have so much fun this weekend. Oh, it's going to be the best, dude. I'm pumped for you. I'm pumped that it's finally here. Yeah, finally. Yeah, it's here.

Let's get this guy married. My win of the week is the opposite of that monumental of a thing, but it is the most exciting thing that's happened to us in a long time. It's that, uh, ghosty from Monday, Jordan algae came and he's a contractor and he came and fixed slash installed a new storm door at our house. And it is the most, the biggest blessing because for the longest time, the storm door was the bane of my existence in the back of our house and it is the most, the biggest blessing because for the longest time,

the storm door was the bane of my existence in the back of our house. I tried to fix it multiple times. I thought it was the stopper. Then it wouldn't latch right. It would get caught in the wind and fly out. It would either slam really hard and like shake the house. It was like, it was the worst. It was truly the worst. Gave it a new transmission. That didn't help. Finally, I finally just said, we just need a new one.ave it a new transmission. That didn't help. I finally, I finally just said, we just need a new one. I want a new one. And he came over and put it together. It was awesome. It was so cool to hang out with. You came over and now it shuts on its own. And that's like the biggest blessing. I know it sounds so silly, but it's like when you have a door that doesn't shut on its own and you have kids literally walking in and out of that door 50 times a day. And you just have to yell at them, shut the door for the door.

Bo shut the door. And then he tries to shut it and doesn't even latch right. So it pops back open. And now our kids don't have to do anything. I think you had walked inside, but I told Catherine yesterday and I said, you know, what's going to happen is your kids are so used to this door, not closing behind them that their heels are going to get hit by this door behind them.

Did it happen? Not yet, but I said it is going to happen and it's only going to take once and then we'll learn. I, I had a moment yesterday where Hattie came out, shut the door and then, or no, didn't shut the door, but like let go of the door and then turned around to shut it. And it was shutting on its own. You could tell she was like, cause she's obviously the best out of all three kids at shutting the door. But anyway, huge, huge win. It's the simple things in life. Storm doors is just the best. So happy for you. For the whole family. Thank you. Hey, thank you.

Our, our collective win from the both of us is that right before we started recording, we got off the phone with old Jensen. Yeah, Deedle. Jensen Harper from the Ghost Runners Getaway in Florida. Got off the phone with him, and he, while he was on the phone with us, booked his flights to Kansas City for the weekend of August 19th. Huh. Wonder why he chose to do that. Oh.

That's probably, probably he did it for a reason. August 18th and 19th, he said. That's a good idea. I think I should probably come to Kansas City. And so he did, and he is, he's going That's a good idea. I think I should probably come to Kansas City. And so he did. And he is. He's going to be here. Jensen. It rhymes with win. Jensen of the week. Yeah. Jensen's win. Yeah. Jensen's win of the week.

Yeah. I would look at flights if I were you for Kansas City. If Jensen's doing... Jensen was curious about what airport to fly into. FYI, if anybody else is curious, it's called MCI. There's only one. It's the only one. Yeah. It's the only one that private jets aren't, unless you have a private jet, you can fly into the downtown one. But besides

that, it's MCI. Come on down to Kansas City, out to Kansas City, up to Kansas City, wherever it is compared to you. August 18th and 19th. More details. We are working on them. Okay, guys? But just know. Jensen will be there. So there's that.

Yeah. Fun. Um, but I don't know if you've ever had to sign a marriage license, but it's, um, it's not that easy of a task to do. Well,

you can probably just ease on like double click, you know? Yeah. I mean, uh, you've got options like, oh, I could just do it on the website. Or no, of course, that doesn't work.

Or I could just do it like, what about when I get to Iowa on Thursday? Sure. I mean, that's like three days before the wedding. No, that's not going to work here. Okay. What if you just do it in Kansas? Just take it up to Iowa.

Yeah, yeah. Turns out that doesn't work either. Turns out Monday at about work either. Um, turns out, uh, Monday at about 5 PM. The only way it's going to happen is right now. If you get in your car and Rachel gets in her car and you just meet in the middle and get it signed.

Yeah. We learned all this and, um, yeah, it takes three days for once like the judge or the city, the court, who knows who even cares. Um,

uh, they need three full business days to validate it before it's even ready to be like, you know, available at your wedding. So Monday night, it was like my last full day at the house. I had like a last supper plans with like all my roommates who are going to go out and do all this stuff. And then it was like, sorry, I know this is my idea, but I have to bail on my own plans. I got to drive North. I don't even know where just got to drive North and North my friend until I run into Rachel, but it was fine. It was a good little road trip. And, um, Brad was potentially going to be, we needed a witness. Brad was going to be the witness because originally I thought, Hey, I don't want to drive that far. That ended up working out. I was like, Brad, it's going to be much further drive. Don't worry about it. So we met at a come and go in Bethany, Missouri, and some girl named Meredith

at her gas pump is officially the witness to our wedding. What a wild experience for Meredith. Yeah, it was awesome. She's just trying to get a little unleaded E85 in the process. Hey, do you mind witnessing one of the most important signatures of our lives? Yeah. I was like, that girl looks nice. Like, all right, let's go over there. I was like, hey. And we had like papers in our hands. We definitely looked sketchy, like sales.

Sure. You know, people. I was just like, hey. I'm Jake. This is Rachel. Yeah, we're cool. We're normal. Fun fact, we're getting married in five days.

We need a witness, yada, yada. Do you want to be our marriage license witness? And she's like, you know what's funny? I just recently lost my notary public license oh my gosh so she at least like was familiar with this whole thing oh she was a perfect person yeah right well i guess not quite perfect if she was still notary that would have been really cool that would have been perfect it's so fun yeah but yeah so we facetimed uh our notary while meredith was signing her marriage license on the hood of her car in Bethany, Missouri. It was awesome.

And I think I talked about it on Monday, but that's also when all these high schoolers recognized me from TikTok and are looking at my TikTok account too. No, you didn't talk about that. Yeah, because they were like, what's your name? And I was like, Jake Triplett.

Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Mood swings, mood swings. So yeah, just a fun little outing, driving to Bethany and getting the marriage license signed. We just hung out at the gas station for like an hour and it was fun. Just like, how you doing?

How you feeling? And yeah, it was awesome. That's kind of an unintentionally like sweet, intentional time. Yeah, it was pretty cool. You know, because like the next time, well, probably when you were here, you were more in business mode most of the time. And then when you get there, it's not going to be you and her. You're going to be hosting and worry about all these other things.

And so it's like, yeah, you had a little hour there to... You kind of Jim and Pam'd it in the gas station. Gas station, yeah. It's kind of cool. And I mean, we drive right through Bethany every time we're going up to Iowa to see Rachel's family. So we'll drive past that come and go all the time. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So how far away was it?

Because I think... Like two hours. Yeah. Initially, you were like, I think we'll probably go to Liberty or something. was it? Cause I think like two hours. Yeah. Initially you were like, I think, you know, we'll probably go to Liberty or something. I was like,

I think I can make it work. Catherine be cool. 45 minutes. Catherine was like so excited. She was like, yeah, do it. Like you can get some good time with Jake.

I was like, okay. And then, yeah, you were like, I think it's gonna be two and a half hours. I was like, I don't know,

barely. Yeah. That's, that's a little far, but I would be curious to hear if anybody else has similar experiences. Cause our experience was not that wild, but we went to go get our marriage. I bet a lot of people do this when they see it like supposed to be three days because I bet like technically, I don't know.

I don't know if we went on Wednesday because if you did on a Wednesday, would that be Thursday, Friday? Like that's only two or would they count Wednesday? You think like, I don't know. I guess they just needed three full because Rachel was going to like, you know, she wasn't going to get it till Monday night and turn it in Tuesday. Right. So yeah, I don't know. So I, all that to say, we got married in Texas. I obviously wasn't down there way before the wedding. So we had to go and whatever happened, they basically said the same thing. They're like, it, it takes three days, but I mean, I don't know. Maybe you can find a judge and ask him to make an exception for you.

So I think we, I can't remember the details super well, which is kind of funny because it's such a big deal at the time and very stressful. But I feel like we just like sat out there and waited for the judge to like come out of his judge quarters or whatever. Judge cave. And kind of was like, hey, can you please sign this for us? Oh, wow. Fun. Yeah. I don't remember the details very well now but i remember just thinking like gosh this is so brad and katherine to like forget about this and it's just funny that it happened

to somebody else and who knows if it's gonna who knows if people are like yeah it happened to us too i don't know probably is somewhat common but it was fun it was great i we had good time together got a little energy drink at the gas station drove home i was great i we had good time together got a little energy drink at the gas station drove home i was buzzing dude i had a great drive home i was i was writing down everything everything you could possibly write down gene schwartz ideas mood swings ideas i wrote like a stand-up bit i was thinking all sorts of things i wrote like a third of a song i got inspired to do that i was like listen to these instrumentals and just write stuff down it was i like found my version of like Adderall in this like come and

go. I've never felt that. I was like, oh, this is amazing. Did they have beans in this buzz? No, dude, I wish. That would have been even better. It would have been wonderful to buzz for those beans. That would have been even better. You know what's the best way of buzzing is buzzing with Main Street Roaster's beans. Dude, I hope I live in a world where come and go gas station

Roasters. Booyah. Jake, I have a, well, yeah, I have a follow-up to 43 sprays from that guy last week. Oh, yeah. That's right. From the locker room. I saw him again. Oh, cool. Zero sprays. Interesting. I'll say it again. What happened? Zero sprays. I think, in hindsight, I think he was getting ready to go work out and he did 43 sprays. Oh, that's weirder. Yeah. I guess he read that it says deodorant he's like i don't want to be odorous well i'm very weird yeah he's getting his his aroma all over every machine because this time he was definitely in like normal street wear like he put on jeans and a t-shirt like

you don't work out in that no one does but maybe yeah maybe but and he i was i was i was like i can't wait i know i was like i'm going to count i, I was, I was, I was like, I can't wait. I know. I was like, I'm going to count. I even thought about videoing him and I was like, that's, I think illegal, you know, beyond just like weird. That's illegal. Yeah. Locker rooms. And so then I was like, maybe I could do audio message.

And then before I knew it, no sprays. He was gone. I was like, man, either that guy's got an identical twin or he just doesn't spray. Yeah. I mean, maybe he just sprayed earlier or something. I don't know. No, he didn't. He's just a weirdo. He like sprays before he goes in the shower. Maybe he only sprays on Tuesdays and it just lasts the whole week. That is interesting. That kind of debunks the idea that he was like this OCD guy. If he's not spraying on his way out.

I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. It was, it was a very, I, I still couldn't believe that one time when it happened, but yeah, I'd like to talk to him. Hasn't happened since, um, get him on the pod, but yeah, I don't, I don't know. It's just gym cultures is funny. I think sometimes all these different things going on in there, there was a lot to look at. I feel like when I wasn't working out everything, a lot of people watching, especially playing fitness, I'd go at midnight, and that was wild. Catherine's been going to Planet Fitness lately. Really?

Early in the morning. Oh, okay. Yeah, she's just been walking on the treadmill, but she's been rocking it. Does she prefer that to walking around? Because now that it's spring and summertime. I know, exactly. I think she definitely would prefer,

and still does, walk outside. But she is specifically doing something called 12-3-30, where it's 12 points, three 30, where it's 12 points, three rebounds. Yeah. Triple, triple, you know, double, double, double, um, 12 mile per hour walk 3%, uh, you know, slope, or maybe it's 12 minutes, 12 degree slope. What is it? Three miles an hour for 30 minutes yeah that's probably right if she's walking i mean 12 miles an hour would be a decent miles an hour is yeah pretty fast you're right 12 miles an hour is very fast no you're right yeah so it's either way i think you go 12 miles an hour it only three percent grade for they're interchangeable yeah i think you do

whatever you want go 30 miles an hour for yeah get on the back of a weimer reiner and for three minutes try and ride them for 12 seconds. Yeah. So anyway, just doing this like kind of incline walk for 30 minutes and on a decent pace. And she's like, it works out more than you think. Cool. That reminds me, I owe Rachel some running miles.

We did like a little bet a couple weekends ago when we went to Iowa. We played nine holes of golf. And the bet was uh we were going head to head okay playing each other in golf for nine holes i'm giving her 1.5 strokes per hole so if i get a four and she gets a uh a five she actually beat me sure just so everyone understands um i shot a 39. It's only three over par. I feel like I did very well. And I still, oh, sorry.

And for every hole that Rachel beats me, I have to run a mile with her this summer was the bet. Okay. Shot a 39, and I still have to run four miles this summer. I lost like every other hole. It was crazy. Is this four miles at a time? It can be split up.

Okay. But I think. So you go a quarter mile a day for 16 days, brother, one, one quick lap around the track, just enough to get sweaty and get really annoying. All right, go back home. All right. I'm going to go spray myself for you three times. So yeah, at some point this summer, I'll probably do two, uh, two mile runs or we might knock it out all in one. We'll see. Cool. But in the month of June, I have to run with Rachel four miles month of June. Yep. It's gotta be June. Cool. In the month of June, I have to run with Rachel four miles. Month of June? Yep. It's got to be June.

Okay. I'm going to look outside. Bo's going to be like, Mr. Jake running. There you are. Someone's chasing Mr. Jake. That's fun. Yeah. Time is still not here.

I don't know why everyone keeps asking. He got fired. Yeah. His horse's answer sucked. I will say I went and experienced some horses uh this past week i think yeah so we borrowed those hay bales for beau's birthday and i had to return them yeah and so literally the five of us like packed into my truck all three kids in the back of like you know this one and a half door truck kind of thing. Um, and we went, we went to the farm and we got to pet some horses

and brother, I still, I'm just scared. I'm just scared of all animals. I think they're going to say the smell. I did smell them. Couldn't smell much one way or the other. It wasn't like intoxicatingly great, but I also don't, I didn't smell anything bad when we were out there. Cause they were out in the open. They weren't in their stalls or anything. But like Catherine's like feeding them. I think Hattie even fed the horses a little bit. Wow. And I just thought to myself, and Bo was a little nervous.

Rosie was, you know, one year old, so she didn't care. But I just thought to myself, like, I know nothing bad is going to happen, but like on the off chance it does. You were scared of the horse? Yes. Like if that horse, it just takes one time. It takes one time for that horse to be like, I don't like the way that guy's hand looks, or I like the way that guy's hand looks a little too much. Yeah. If he bites my hand,

he could, he could bite my fingers off and then I would just be fingerless. Can you imagine? Oh man, there goes your jump shot. There goes, there goes my pretty, like my silky wet jumper. There goes a lot of stuff, but mainly the jump shot can you imagine if if you're looking at me right now and i just have a thumb dang that because the horse ate it having the thumb all because all because like i was like horses aren't gonna do that have you heard that thing that um biting through your pinky is the same as biting through a baby carrot yes Yes. So I bet a horse could go to town on your fingers. And what do horses love, Jake? Hay. Carrots. Right.

Shoot. They say your hair is like a horse eating through hay, though. That's right. It's the same. I just couldn't do it. I was like, that thing is a beast. Like, literally, that thing is a beautiful, majestic beast, and I want to respect it, so I'm going to keep my hand away.

I'm going to let it get food out of my hand. I touched it once, and I want to respect it. So I'm going to keep my hand away. I'm going to let it get food. I touched it once and I was nervous the whole time. I am scared to walk behind horses because that's when they kick you hard. So I don't walk behind horses. I don't walk in front of jet engines or behind horses. Those are my things. I just think that there's no way that zero people in the world have ever gotten their hand bitten off by a horse. And so I just think, why risk it? I think I'm just, I'm just generally scared of animals because I think to myself, it just takes one time. Like there was, there was a squirrel up on top of our, uh, on my shop the other day. I really noticed him one night in this house. It's like, man, those squirrels are going nuts on this roof. Really? Yeah. And I just thought to myself, like if that squirrel were five feet from me, I would be, I would not like that at all. Oh yeah. The scariest thing in the

world is an animal. That's not scared of you. Thank you. Thank you. And all it takes is one. It's like, well, squirrels are, squirrels are scared of humans. What if one of them just decides not to be one day? One of them's like, I have cancer. I'm dying tomorrow. Let's go give this. I'm going to see, I'm going to see, I'm going to show this guy a lesson. I don't know. I'm dying tomorrow. Let's go give this guy. I'm going to see. I'm going to show this guy a lesson. I don't know. I'm just saying. I have two things to say. One, I Googled fingers bitten off horse bite.

We'll look into that. But Rob, thinking of it, I animals not being scared of you. I was on the golf course a while ago and I got a deer to start walking towards me. I was excited. I was like making these. Here's the noise I was making. Whoa. Didn't expect that. I was just doing all sorts of noises. How did I even do that?

Wow. And he liked it. He did. And he started walking towards me. I was like, I'm about to domesticate a deer right here on this golf course. How'd you know to make that noise? I don't know. You just. I don't even know if it's a deer. I don't know. I was just making noises with my mouth. It sounds kind of like one of those deer calls. That's impressive. Thanks. I know nothing about it. You didn't pick Cabela's big game hunter? I've never been hunting or anything, but yeah, he was walking towards me for a little bit. Couldn't get him to like eat

out of my hand or, you know, give me a ride or anything, but I tried. But did you just think like, what if this deer just gets mad? No, I'm excited about deer. I love deer. You would, you would love it if there was one in your front yard right now, you'd go, you'd go walk right up to it. I think the idea, yeah, yeah, I really do. I'm like, oh, I wish I could like, I wish I could pet this deer. Yeah. I think if it gets much more dangerous than a deer, then I do not feel the need to pet it. But a deer, sure. I know. That's what everyone says. And so it's like, rationally, I shouldn't be. But I just think to myself, what if?

Sheep? You scared of sheep? Lambs? Give me a scenario. Like, how close am I to this sheep? You're at a petting zoo. One lamb gets out and he's kind of running around a little bit. I like the fact that there's a lot of people around. Because then I can just kind of like shield myself behind somebody else behind Hattie or something. I'm not, I'm not going, you know, middle linebacker on that lamb. Yeah. You know, I, yeah, I think, uh,

like if there were a lamb in this house right now, I would get out of the house. Would you, or would you be like, Oh, let's go touch that lamb. I would try to get the lamb out of the house while staying inside of it but also like while i'm getting mother like get a couple good pets in this is one of my only opportunities to like pet a lamb in the wild i just don't know if like what if what if the lamb doesn't like where i pet it and then just snaps back and goes after me i even to the point i i really like the idea of like discovering like one day in the backyard here there there's like a baby lamb. Like, this is my opportunity. Let's like, let's raise this lamb.

Baby lamb, dude. I'd be so scared that the mama comes back and they're like, what's this guy doing to my lamb? Oh, see, I would assume like mom left it. If mom wanted to be a good parent, she should be with her kid right now. Mom left it. A big assumption, Jacob. This is the only chance to domesticate animals when they're young

like this. Let's take in this lamb, and it could be our lamb. I don't know about this, man. I would be excited for my kids to come over and play with that lamb. And then, all right, get out of here. Because lambs don't hurt kids. They hurt adults. It would be fun. Yeah. Rachel and I get a lamb,

and then Heidi and Bo get to come over. That's pretty fun. Yeah, Bo's mutton busting all over it yeah all right so here's a q a on the internet if a horse the question was if a horse bites a finger off will they realize it and spit it out or swallow it horse expert replied uh 50 years riding instructor trainer yada yada treating this purely hypothetical but i have been bitten pretty hard by an angry horse. Angry at me specifically, not just lashing out blindly. And it barely broke the skin.

Where? Let me just read the rest. I don't know. My daughter, then 10, was bitten really hard by her dream horse and two remarkable things happened. One, the bruise is really bad, but the skin was not broken.

Two, they ended up being best friends and trusting partners. Oh, new best friend alert really bad, but the skin was not broken. Two, they ended up being best friends and trusting partners. Oh, new best friend alert. Horses tend to use their teeth to hammer more often than they will bite. They surely do bite, but it isn't their first choice of aggressive action. So like they kind of clench their teeth and like, like pound into it? Yeah, like mortar and pestle. Oh, interesting.

Huh. Ask me if I'm still scared of horses biting my hand off. Brad, are you still? Yes, I am very much so. I don't care. I don't care if it's a hammer or not. I just don't want to get hurt. I'm like, why, why would it be worth it? I don't, I don't want to get hammered by a horse either. Yeah. A lot more of the questions or answers I'm reading are like, yeah, if you work with horses, your life, you are going to be bitten at some point, but all these people are typing, so they must have fingers. Because I'm reading this on the internet.

I don't know. Don't know about all that. Oh, man. We're about to run out of time. What? Wasn't it three something? 3.18. We got some time.

Should we do it just us two quickly? You want to call somebody? All right. All right. We have to do a really two quickly? You want to call somebody? All right. All right. We have to do a really quick schmores. Just call somebody. You text them. We got to do one more ad real quick.

Smokeless just any, anywhere you have a bonfire, the conversation gets better around the vibes around the fire. The vibes are better.

Nobody answers the phone these days. You know, it's all text in this Snapchat that poke AIM. Tick tock. I can't keep up. Are you kidding? People these days call Christy Swick. Perfect. I've never called her in my entire life

she's gonna have three kids around her dude they can each pick one maybe it's nap time you got so excited 4pm oh maybe it's nap time 4pm her time

you think she has your number saved I would hope so should I say do you know who this is she's probably like I don't think he's meaning to call oh she answered Should I say, do you know who this is? She's probably like, I don't think he's meaning to call. Oh, she answered. Kirstie, it's Brad and Jake.

Hi. Hi. We're recording a podcast. Would you mind being on it right now? Is this a bad time? Yeah, let me, hold on. Let me put my phone in. I'm alone with the three kids, so there's going to be some loud and.

Okay. Well, if it's okay, we tried to call Steven and he didn't answer. So just being fully transparent here, we called you next. Third pick. Who did answer Steven? Steven. I'm way more fun. I honestly.

Okay. So we're going to do s'mores and we wanted an honorary guest to be in it. And so you are the honorary guest. All right. Let's do it. And you're not going to have any idea. No preparation. So good luck.

The s'mores category. Well, first of all. It'll be better than horses. First of all, Kirstie is one of our wonderful fans. She was the first one to start our Ghost Runners on second fan account. She has done so our wonderful fans. She was the first one to start our ghost runners, uh, on second fan account. She has done so many wonderful things. Uh, you know,

the Christmas gifts every year that she organizes. Yeah. Just awesome. The Swicks are kind of like the first family of the podcast in so many ways. So, uh, we got more time than I thought. How much?

20, 20. We have 20 minutes on our SD card for our camera here. It's Kirstie. So, um, but I know that's, that's plenty for you while your three kids areie. So, um, but I know that's, that's plenty

for you while your three kids are awake. So, um, yeah. And she's a mother of three, just a wonderful mom about to meet me. Other four. How's that going? It's going six weeks left. Wow. I can't make it in August. So you can't, I feel like every time we can organize something, you have a child. Yes. That's pretty accurate. Shoot. Yeah, you're right. I'm going to end up with Steven. Good job, Steve.

I would, but he doesn't answer his phone. So, oh, man. Okay. Well, the Schmores category is best wedding reception dance songs. We can let her go third to kind of maybe think of some. Oh. Okay. And feel free to Google real quick if you need to look up some things. Yeah, you can go last.

And do you want to go last or do you want to start with the first one? Do you have like one that's like, I want to start with this? You choose the order. Put me wherever you want me. Okay. I would like to go first then. Great. And Jake will go second.

Brad, me and Kirstie um okay wonderful i will start um with just the greatest maybe the greatest song ever written in the entirety of the world and it's um by a little man named usher and it's called yeah yeah yeah yeah it is the greatest song of all time uh, it starts with that one line and then just the wonderful beat drop. I just can't wait for it in the wedding. Make sure they don't do a, whatever they call it. Crossfade. Crossfade. Don't crossfade and miss out for a piece of a town down. I will be very, very excited if they do not crossfade that. And it just pops into boom, boom, boom, boom. So my number one pick. Yeah ursher cool great pick it was number one on my list next i'm gonna say um the song low by t-pain and flowrida oh yeah i think that's also one within

the first two seconds you know exactly what song it is you know exactly it's so hard to sing that but it's so fun yeah yeah oh kirsty Oh, Kirstie Swick's calling now. Sorry, sorry. Steven Swick's calling now. I don't think so, Steven. Too late. Wait, I'm going to answer real quick, Kirstie, and I'm going to say, too late. Ready?

Okay. You're too late. I knew it. See ya. See ya. Oh, he just said we're too late. I knew it. Or he goes, I knew it.

And then we hung up on him. So we're back. Poor guy. Oh, just put it in the headphones really quickly. Just so people know what we're talking about. All right, Chrissy, what's your pick? Well, I guess the first question I have is these are reception songs. Are we talking about slow dances too?

If you want to lose. Yeah. I'm a big proponent of once you go fast, you don't go slow. Yeah. But that's, hey, it's your schmores. I mean, if you want to rival horses, go ahead and pick butterfly kisses or something. Yeah. No. Yeah. I'll go with I want to rival horses, go ahead and pick butterfly kisses or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No.

Yeah. I'll go with I want to dance with somebody. Okay. Whitney Houston or Ben Rector? Tough call, but Whitney for sure. Okay. I want to dance with somebody. And then you get two picks.

I don't know if you ever listened to s'mores before. Never. It's my first. Single Ladies is another one. Oh. I forgot about that. That's a good call. Here's the deal.

If you get the girls on the dance floor, that's a win, right? I think guys are back and forth, but once those girls get on the dance floor, they're in. So that's a good one. And it's a great iconic, when it starts, you know it starts. Oh, Jake's going to play it.

You're hearing Beyonce two seconds in. It's great. Good beat. That's fun. I think in the spirit of getting the girls on the dance floor... No, actually, no. I think this song is going to be... Oh, I don't know. Is it going to be available? I don't know. That's what I'm kind of thinking. I'm trying to figure it out. Okay, I'll this song is going to be, oh, I don't know. Is it going to be available?

I don't know. That's what I'm kind of thinking. I'm trying to figure it out. No, yeah. Okay, I'll keep going. In the spirit of getting girls on the dance floor, I think my next song is going to be Lip Gloss by Lil Mama. Dang, dang, dang, dang. That one's so good.

It's everyone's favorite jingle. Who wrote that jingle? Do you want the one, yeah, that, yeah, do you want that one or the one I wrote? There it is. Yeah. Great, great songwriter, great beat. No wonder it's everyone's favorite jingle. But yeah, that's a great song.

I like how you're pandering to Kirstie, like hoping that she picks your pick. I did not remember that at all. Good answer, good answer. Fun song to dance to. Oh, man. All mine are bangers, and they're always... Hello? Oh, don't explain it.

That's all I get. Man, okay, I get two here. I don't know if you listened to Schmores before or Kirstie, but I get to go twice. So I'm going to pick, I really love, this is one of my favorite songs of all time, along with Yeah, is Can't Hold Us by Macklemore.

Dang it, that was the two I was between! That was the two! Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na! Oh, it's so fun, dude. Those are the two I was deciding between. The way, it's such a fun song, because it starts, I just love any song that starts with just a nice quarter note. And it's just, oh, it gets going.

And then it's so fun. And then it has that little interlude of like little trumpet kind of thing. And then it comes back into it. Oh, it just, yeah. Yeah. Jake's playing.

Oh, Hey. Yeah. Good start. Did somebody write a jingle for can't hold us? Do you remember? Uh, yeah.

She's a mother of three. That's right. Oh, okay. I can't believe that. She doesn't vote this week, but yeah. Oh, that's so funny.

Great pick, yeah. Man, I got, oh, I like a lot of these. I think the next one I'm going to go with, I'm going to say, this is where you make or break it guys. Um, I'm going to say one that came out right before I got married. It's by somebody named K E dollar sign ha. And it's called timber. Oh, I thought you were going to go tick tock. No way.

Okay. Timber timber. The, the way that, that I, I love like the little, I don't know. I love like little things in songs and the way it goes let's make a night and then it goes you won't remember. I just love the way that sounds. I don't know. Let's hear how it starts real quick. Oh yeah, what

instrument is that at the beginning? That is electric harmonica. I don't know but it's another one just you gotta you gotta make sure that right off the bat they know what's going on they know it's it's time to go yeah and there's yeah nice little clap oh it's fun it's fun interesting i feel like these are the picks the picks three and four that are gonna determine yeah that's what i'm saying because i think the first two for everyone just gonna even itself out all right i think my next pick my third pick is going to be,

uh, it's more properly known as everybody dance. Now technically it's called going to make you sweat. Oh, okay. Really fun song. You know, withstands the test of time.

Do you think love hearing that song? Have you ever listened to the whole song though? Yeah. We played it at camp on a daily basis for bumblebee. I feel like, I feel like two minutes in, it's like, okay,

I've heard this song. I mean, you could probably say that for any song that's past three and a half minutes. Not can't hold us brother. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Um, it's a great start though. Yeah. How about that song? That is, yeah, that is fun. Okay. So who goes next and how many picks do they get okay so after you so then Kirstie has already gone twice so she's gonna go

again and then she's gonna go another time after that because that's how like the snake draft works uh there's a lot of pressure

you guys I did not prepare for this I've got I've got um I got I got not much here

I've got not much what about Party Rock oh okay Party Rock Anthem yeah yeah that's a good pick for not being prepared I'm convinced that

I had that on my list as well Kirstie I'm convinced that's one of like the best songs like of our generation like written I don't know why I love it

I genuinely love that song. Yeah, if you could just keep going. Talk about it for a minute. Give it another minute. Well, and it's another one that kind of like slows down halfway through and then comes back in hard with like that little, like it goes out for like a one beat and then comes back and it's like, party rock is in the house. It's just fun. Yeah, another one that has a great intro. Decent start. Great start.

Oh, I don't think it's anything crazy. Because one song's over, that song gets going, and you're kind of getting a little goofy groove going, and then right when it goes, party rock! I'll show you. I'll show you, Jake. Anyway, Jake. Anyway. Okay. Christy. So you just went for a third time.

So then after the third time you go for a fourth time. Yeah. Uh, I, I'm aware now, uh, of the rules. Okay. But here's, here's the thing I'm trying to think about is that you have so many different people at a wedding. She's going to choose every generation and like the party rock and the, you know, the, the can't hold you.

We're really not getting up there with, um, she's a good marketer. She's a good marketer. This is going to be a bad check. I mean, it's, it is hard and we're trying to keep it clean because this is,

um, yeah, this is, this is a clean podcast. Of course, of course. Um, I'm, it is hard, and we're trying to keep it clean because this is a clean podcast, of course. Of course, Father Abraham. Of course. I'm going to go with Get Low. Oh, what? That's kind of clean. That's kind of clean.

I thought you were going to pick, like,'t know, Sweet Caroline or something. Yeah, you were like prefacing it like, you know, people miss the Motown days. And so I think I'm going to say, you know, Car Wash. And then you go with Get Low, the clean version. Till the sweat drop down and falls. Gosh, what a great song. That's a really good start. That's a really good start to the song. The beginning. Oh, wow.

The Ying Ying Twins, like first, you know, the coming out party for the Ying Ying Twins. Got to be my top three twins of all time. What a start. Good answer. Kirstie, way to preface it by thinking, yeah, I was thinking you're going to go for, yeah, some whatever, Neil Diamond,

and then go with Little John East. For your answers, you guys should cover some more generations. I'm going to go for, yeah, some whatever, Neil Diamond, and then go with Little John East. For your answers, you guys should cover some more generations. I'm going to keep picking these. Yeah, no way. No way. You get, no, don't do the slow songs, the Motown hits. Don't do September by Earth, Wind, and Fire. No.

Fun song. Everyone loves it. Everyone loves hearing it. It's not on the playlist. Not as a dance song on the dance floor. Nope. All right. A song that is on the wedding playlist for this weekend.

Not only for the song itself, but also for some maybe nostalgia. Forever by Chris Brown. Okay. In the office. That's the song that they have. Yeah, you got to do it in the office. That was already a big song.

Then Jim and Pam, all their wedding party, or all the office. Yeah, it's fun. They dance to it. Everyone's like, oh yeah, this is a good song. So I think it revitalized

it a little bit. Good wedding dance song. It's not enough bass in there. I want some more bass in there. Do you have the choral memorized so you can get a video just like them? No, I'll do my own.

Freestyle. I like Jake's freestyle. Okay. I knew this was going to be here because I think it's a controversial pick, but I love it when it starts with a little boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Oh. Uptown Funk. No way. It's so overplayed. Oh, my gosh. What a fun song. No, that it's so oh my gosh what a fun song no that one's so oh trey has a bit about this

in his comedy set right now of like stop playing uptown funk and i agree i agree oh i'm gonna i'm gonna pay the dj 30 to play up found funk your wedding and i'm gonna i'm gonna put another 30 right in trey's face and say play this song again baby i don't know you'll30 right in Trey's face and say, play this song again, baby. I don't know. You'll put it in Trey's face? Yeah, and say, everyone loves this song, Trey. No, I think it's so overplayed. I just love anything that's got little hip-hop vibes with some big band feel to it.

It's so fun. So that's fine. Overplayed. I don't know the last time I heard that song. Okay. Okay. So, uh, okay.

So my picks are, yeah, can't hold us timber and uptown funk. Jake's got low lip gloss going to make you sweat and forever going to make you sweat forever. Kirstie says, I want to dance with somebody which appealed to the older generation, a single ladies party, anthem, and get low.

Those 12 songs right there would make a good party, especially Uptown Funk. That is like the most basic pick on here. Uptown Funk? Yeah. I know, dude. I don't care. I like it. There's a reason it's played all the time.

It's so good. Kirstie, thanks for answering amidst being alone with the three kids. I feel like you've done a great job. I don't hear your kids screaming anymore, so you've got something handled. No, there's a pile of blood and probably vomit by now. Probably vomit. Oh, Kirstie, you're the best. Thank you for answering.

And any wise words for the almost newly married Jake? Oh, man. You know, I'm halfway through this week's episode and you're talking about how you're naturally going to become less selfish, which is 100% true. But no, really, it's probably been said, but just serve. Just be a servant all the time. And so if that doesn't look like an appealing lifestyle,

then I don't know what does. But yeah, just be a servant, which time. And so if that doesn't look like an appealing lifestyle, then I don't know what does. But yeah, just be a servant, which you guys already are. You show up twice a week for everybody. And so we're all super thankful. I will plug that the voters of this week, they should keep in mind, I know they know you well,

but I have gained quite a bit of weight. My confidence is down. Oh my gosh. I need a is down. Oh my gosh. I need a confidence boost. Oh my God. And we're talking about gaining weight and confidence down. Why don't they vote for me? I, I, you know, guys, Oh, W would do it for me. I don't know. Bo's cute and all that, but yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Okay. I, I, I appreciate the effort here. that's great kirsty do you know off the top of your head will you guys be around whenever trey and i come to

cincinnati august 5th yes so that depends on when the child actually shows up so uh july 8th is the due date so if if he or she is a month old that that'll be a baby crying in the crowd. It'll be there. And if they're late, probably still crying in the crowd. Yeah. Okay, great. Don't buy tickets. I'll get you guys tickets. And I really hope I am healthy and have a voice this time.
