I'm back in town. Brad's fired up. Monday with Jake and Brad. Jake and Brad. Woo! I'm back in town. Brad's fired up. I'm fired up. Gosh, sometimes when I clap, I smack my ring. So be careful of that. I noticed that, yeah.

I got to clap different now that I have a ring now. That thing claps different. Yeah, it does. Gosh. Something I really like is kind of tapping my ring on things that are going to make noise so like oh yeah it's anything they'll make a little racket a nice table a nice desk yeah maybe like when you're while you're thinking like i don't know i'm just not really quite sure about it. Just like going out of my way.

Let me think. I don't know. Is that going to work out? Go your way. I'm trying to think. Anyway, a hot start. We got a lot to talk about. I mean, I haven't seen these guys in a week and a half.

A lot has transpired. I think the best place to start is with an isaac story sure i think let's just get those out of the way right now a couple just quick things so even before the honeymoon i had four nights of stand-up comedy so i'm with isaac we're doing all sorts of things one of the big things that i talked about i think last two fridays, had the opportunity to play TPC Sawgrass, one of the top three courses that a golfer can play in the United States. Really cool opportunity. Isaac is going to get to play with us. Awesome. Wild.

The opportunity is flowing his direction. Sure. So Isaac, you guys know, is selling merch for us. He actually flies up to Birmingham on Thursday earlier than Trey and I. He wants to get there early, make sure that merch has plenty of time to be set up because those are his busiest days. He gets there, realizes, oh, someone

on the merch side of things screwed something up. They didn't even send it. So now he's just in Birmingham with nothing to do. Oh, bummer. And so he's just walking around Birmingham. He walks by a gym and they have like a free like one day pass or something. So he's like, Oh, well I'm not doing anything. I'll get sweaty. And so it starts

working out. He's like doing squats. He's like doing this, you know, whatever full workout. He's thinking to himself, like, man, I'm going to be sore tomorrow. And he's like, Oh my God, tomorrow's TPC sawgrass. And so he just gets up and just walks out of the thing. He's like, stop. Yeah, full stop. He's like, what am I doing? I'm such an idiot. Well, fast forward to, that's just the first one. Just funny, Isaac. The next one is, I think, a couple nights later.

Isaac can sometimes kind of be the front, first line of defense for people. Like, they're upset. They thought they had VIP tickets. They don't. They don't know who to talk to. They go up to Isaac, and he has to deal with this stuff. They're like, you're working here.

You're on behalf of Trey. Uh-huh. And so there was these three women who were pretty, I think, just obnoxious, and they wanted something. And they kept saying, no, we have this. Talk to Trey. We were DMing Trey. Talk to Trey.

And so Isaac is like, I mean, OK. So he texts Trey and is like, hey, these girls are kind of being you know kind of crazy whatever you think what do you think about this trey is like texting back uh what he thinks about it because i guess he already did meet them at vip meet and greet or something he's already got a feel for these girls oh so they did have vip yeah i don't know what they're wanting either way they just thought they deserved something they weren't getting maybe yeah okay so. So Isaac texts Trey. While Trey is texting back, they decide they actually do want to buy some merch. So they're like, okay.

Well, Isaac doesn't have a computer. He doesn't have an iPad. He does all the merch sales off of his phone, and he just puts the square thing in there. And so the girls have the phone. He's like, all right, and if you want a tip right here. And when they have the phone, Trey texts Isaac back, and is like, yeah, those girls are crazy.

Be careful out there. And they see that text from Trey Kennedy, and then they just lose it. They just go berserk on Isaac. In a good way or a bad way? No, like yelling, cussing at Isaac. Really? And he was like, let me take that phone back.

I assume you're not tipping. Is this before the show? Yeah, this is all before the show. So Isaac gives his phone out to every single person that stands in? I guess so. I didn't really know that. I didn't realize the problem. And anyway, hearing it from Trey's side of the story was really funny. So when I sent that,

apparently those girls had Isaac's phone. So you really set me up. Yeah, he needs to think about kind of like you do with Peter, like, uh, Peter's name in your phone is Taylor Swift, right? Yeah. Yeah. Like you need to figure out some kind of alias, like Isaac needs to have Trey, but it needs to be whatever.

Bob Costas. Bob Costas. Hang on real quick. I gotta text Bob Costas. Uh, yeah. Let me, let me text his manager, Bob. Anyway, I just thought that was so funny. Isaac can't help but get himself in trouble on a daily basis.

Can you imagine just like, yeah. Isaac's probably trying to be so sweet to those girls back. Or maybe not. Yeah, I know. I think he was. I mean, I gotta text Trey. Yeah, and then they see that and what's this? Yeah, they were. I don't know. Interesting.

They were a problem. I forget who someone I know. Oh, that was the Jacksonville show. Cause Casey Cornelius, my best friend from high school, he went and he was in the same section as them. And afterwards he was like, yeah, they were a problem. Like they were, they were heckling. I think they were drunk. I think they're just loud people in general. I'm always amazed. I was going to say impressed. That's not truly the right word. How do people get drunk at a comedy show? You have to drink a lot beforehand, I guess. Yeah, they drink before and they just Uber there.

I don't know. I feel like you have to be very intentional about doing that and I don't understand why you would do it. It just does not compute in my mind. I think we are different than these types of people. A lot of people do intentionally just go out and I need to forget about my problems. I think we are different than these types of people. A lot of people do intentionally just go out and like, I need to forget about my problems. I just want to laugh and

kind of not know what happens to me the rest of the night. Yeah, it's just so wild to me. Because it seems like that happens somewhat regularly that there's people that are drunk at the show. And I just don't get it. I'm like, I would want to be, like some of your jokes are pretty,

like they're thinkers. Thank you. And if you're a drinker, you're not able to be a thinker. You're just a stinker. That's, if I ever headline a tour, that'll be the name of it. Come see the, don't be a drinker, be a thinker.

Yeah. No stinkers allowed. Uh-huh. Winker, winker. Uh-huh. Winker, winker. 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 it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking round. Ghost Brothers Podcast. We're back. Isaac's great. I'm great. Rachel's great. Brad, you weren't great, but now you're better.

I'm better. I'm good, not best. How's that? They're good, but not better. Good, but not better. Yeah, you get very, very sick. Yeah, dude. Just like not fun sickness. Obviously, it's one of those things where once you're healthy or when you're healthy, you don't think about it. And then you get sick and you're like, why didn't I do a million things when I was healthy? It is so miserable when you're sick

and you're like, I would like to do anything right now and I cannot do anything. Like I try as regularly as I can to just like take a moment, like once a week to be like, God, thank you for, for me not being sick right now. Cause it's so hard not to take it for granted. Yeah, exactly. Cause when you're not sick, it's awesome. You don't think about it though.

And then you're sick and you're like, oh my gosh, that's all I want to do is not be sick. Like I just, even like halfway sick. I just want to breathe normal. I want to taste things normal. I want my stomach to feel back to normal. Oh, it was awesome when my stomach felt normal. I couldn't, I couldn't taste for a little bit. Every time I get a cold, I always lose my taste. So it's not like, oh, Brad always has COVID. I don't, if so, I've had COVID for like 15 years. Um, but like, uh, yeah. And that's just always depressing. Cause then I can't even smell, you can't even smell your QP goat soaps. Honestly, it's just sad. So, I mean, it's just like, man, I just want to have some kind of semblance of smell or something. So anyway, doing better. My, my neighbors came

home a couple of days ago. ago. My family comes home tonight. So everything's coming back to normal. That's good. So yeah, excited. What are you doing this weekend? What do you mean? I don't know. I thought I was going to be in town.

And as soon as I asked that question, I was like, wait, I'm not going to be in town. I was like, dude, I don't know what I'm doing this weekend. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. Cool. I never know. I'm sure I'm doing something. I feel I'm doing this weekend. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. Cool. I never know. I'm sure I'm doing something. I feel like something's this weekend. Oh, one of my friends is coming to town for lunch.

We're going to barbecue. Fun. Mr. Steeze back in the day. Oh, wow. Mr. Steeze. Oh, yeah. I wanted to ask, how was LJ Til Papa coming to town? Dude, it was awesome.

It was so much fun. I had a good time just via the Ring Doorbell app while I was on my honeymoon or while I any, while I was off touring, like, like there's Brad with my friend LJ. Yeah. Oh, there's Brad with Harrison, uh, Gunner and Peter at my door. That's a fun update. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, no, I, I talked about it some with Catherine on that podcast, but you can talk about it more with you. Cause it was, it was so fun. So yeah, LJ came into town. He's friends with you from camp. Came into town to just glean wisdom, I guess, from me as a dad. And I'm like, dude, I hope I have something for you here. Because he like flew in from Texas to do this. Flew in. He originally messaged me and he was like, hey man, here's what I'm trying to do. We're having a baby in a couple of months. Would be down to talk about being a dad? And I was like, absolutely, sure. I knew his name. I knew his sister,

whatever. You're not a weirdo. I would love to talk to you. And then he's like, great. I can be in Kansas City on this day, and I can meet from 11 to 5. And I was like, okay, cool. You're in town for work or something. And then trying to figure out, trying to coordinate where to meet him for lunch. I was like, well, where, where are you staying?

Like, you know, whatever. Like, do you have a car? Do you need me to pick you up? Whatever. And he's like,

I realized later, I was like, oh, he's, he's coming into town, flying in on 11, leaving at, you know,

six o'clock. So he's literally just coming into town for this. A lot of pressure. Okay. So, uh, invited my dad to come to lunch with us, which was fun. Oh, that's a good idea.

Just because my dad was really, you know, I just knew he'd be excited about it too. And he was like, my dad just texted me back like, yes, praise God for men who want to be godly fathers. And so we talked for like two hours at lunch and then took some Oklahoma Joes back to Catherine for lunch. And he got to meet the kids and hang out. And Catherine went to Barnes & Noble. I thought she was going to be gone for maybe 45 minutes, an hour. She was gone for closer to two hours, I feel like. So you just ULJed the kids?

We just hung out with Bo and played some baseball with them. And I tried to give them some insights as I could. Yeah, it was fun. I feel like I tried to give them some like macro thoughts about fatherhood, but also like, it's like, dude, you're not going to be thinking about the strategy of fatherhood when you first have a kid, you're going to be thinking about survival. How do I deal with this specific problem? So I'm like, dude, like, here's, here's what I would think about if I'm thinking about a newborn, like, just don't be afraid to learn how to change diapers. You're not going to be as good as your wife probably, but just, just get in there. I feel like with Hattie, I didn't do a

very good job with that. Or, you know, like, Hey, she's going to be the one that is going to be, you know, physically sustaining this life. So you do everything else around the house, like kind of just stuff like that. Just like, just like you're good with tidbits like that. I remember one thing that you said one time about how you and Catherine have like an agreement. Like we can never get upset about anything we say to each other in the middle of the night. That's a fun little like, yes, especially because you're sleep deprived already. And then you got somebody crying in your ear. I mean, just imagine that like screaming your ear. And it's so hard to like talk back and forth and be like, I think, I think maybe, maybe, uh, she's hungry. What? I think maybe she's hungry. And then she says, what again? I just want to pass

the door. I think maybe she's hungry. It's like, there's no way of like raising your voice without being so mad about it. And so, yeah, it's, it's, it's one of those things where it's like, okay, I, I'm not mad at you. I promise, you know, but you just can't hear me, so I'm having to talk loud. Yeah, it's fun. I'll probably be gleaning some wisdom from you when it comes to husbandhood. I think I'm already starting to realize just like what it, not realize,

but just I'm starting to notice like, oh, I have like new roles now or just like new duties. Like yesterday, for instance, we wake up, which how fun is it to wake up next to someone? Dude, it's the best. It's a blast, especially when it's Rachel Koop. And you just, we wake up, which how fun is it to wake up next to someone? Dude, it's the best. It's a blast, especially when it's Rachel Koop. Yeah.

And you just kind of wake up and then she's already like her huge eyes are already like staring at you. You're like, whoa. Like, I feel like I just wake up so much quicker now. I don't like go to my phone. I don't like slowly snooze my alarm for 30 minutes. It's like I wake up, Rachel's staring at me. I'm like, this is so fun.

Yeah. Good morning. Love it. Oh, it's awesome. Anyway, but she's like heading out she's gonna go nanny she's like hey uh at some point today can you uh get out the good rancher yeah get out the good rancher's chicken to thaw it yeah and she gives me some directions and i'm just second guessing everything she told me like am i remembering wrong that seems like a

weird strategy because she was like take four uh things things out of the freezer and put them in a bowl and then put them in the fridge. Yeah. I was like, that seems like they'd still be very cold. Right. Yeah. It's not going to get thawed. And I was like, you want me to put them in water? She's like, no water, no water. Not yet. Yeah. That's like an expedited. I forget to do this like around the time, which he tells me to. And I don't remember for another two hours. And at that point I start to not trust my memory. I forget to do this around the time which he tells me to, and I don't remember for another two hours. And at that point, I start to not trust my memory. I'm like, did she say bowl with no water and the fridge? That's not how you thaw things.

Anyway, so just having duties, having a little task assigned to me. It's like this new role I'm in now. It's like I have homework. I have chores. Yeah, you have a checklist of things. So that's kind of fun. Turns out, nailed it. Yeah, you have like a checklist of things. So that's kind of fun. Turns out, nailed it.

Turns out, fridge is a little too cold. Rachel said, oh, you got a cold fridge. These are still pretty frozen. Good for you. Yeah, it just depends on how long you're... Like a lot of times I'll put them frozen into the fridge the night before. Yeah, maybe we just didn't do it.

And then it's like, okay, we're gonna cook these things in four hours. Let's take them out of the fridge. Okay. You know, it's time. Yeah. Maybe we just didn't do it. And then it's like, okay, you know, we're going to, we're going to cook these things in four hours. Let's take them out of the fridge. Okay. You know, it's time. Okay. I'll get those things room temp. Yeah. Anyway, it's fun to have duties. Yeah, dude, you're going to learn so much. It's fun to have good ranchers chicken. Let's talk about it. Should we go ahead? Yeah, we had it last night. It was so good. It was... I don't even know what we had.

I will never be as good as like a woman explaining the food we had. We had some sort of like pesto, chicken, some mozzarella in there. Oh, nice. Turns out Rachel tricked me again. This is not even regular noodles. This is chickpea noodles. Oh. And I want to say, thank God we had good ranchers in there.

Really saved the day. No, it was a good meal. But the chicken was the shining star. And it was Good Ranchers chicken. Thought it myself. Yeah, it was great. We just continue to love Good Ranchers. She emailed, Allie from Good Ranchers, emailed me a couple days ago. She's like, hey, Brad, put

another order. Do you want to put one in too? I was like, sign me up. Oh, yeah, I do, Allie. Yeah, so I was like, yeah, we'll take more chicken, more salmon. Heck yeah. Please. Yeah, it's the best. I still can't. We had Good Ranchers burgers the other night with the boys. I still can't get over it. I just

keep thinking about the Good Ranchers burgers on the Brio Grill. It was just a fun night, and I'm excited for more burgers because they're the best. They're Wagyu beef burgers. They have all sorts of different steaks. Yeah, like Jake said, chicken. You can get shrimp, scallops, salmon. I think I saw some snapper in our freezer. Big snapper, people. Yeah. And also, guys, don't just buy a box. Get a subscription. Yes.

It's going to be, uh, just way better for you that way. It locks in your price for two full years. Inflation. Never heard of it. Or at least my meat hasn't. The only inflation I'm worried about this summer is an inflatable pool in the

backyard. Thanks to good ranchers and good ranchers.com. I wish, I wish my mouth would inflate. So I have more room for United States meat. Yeah. American meat delivered. Wish my stomach would inflate so I could digest more of it faster.

So, yeah yeah all that to say you're new recognizing new roles in your life yeah new roles let's talk about the honeymoon real quick bahamas nice this time of year uh uh have you guys ever heard of the rainy season because we don't really have it in the midwest is we do like summer, spring, winter, fall. April showers bring many flowers, they always say. June? Yeah. Fun.

June is fun. June is fun, they say. They say June is fun. The locals will tell you June is hurricane season. Who knew? They used to call them Mon-Junes instead of Mon-Sunes. So a day before the honeymoon,'m like exploring google maps i'm like let's see where are we going exactly because it's not the main island it's not nasa it's like

some small island and this whole time i'm like exuma that sounds familiar to some for some reason i'm zooming i'm pinching i'm pinching you're exhuming i'm exhuming in yeah and i get where i'm all the way zoomed into our resort and I see that 0.1 mile away north of us, it says Fire Festival. 0.1 miles? There's a little pin on Google Maps that says Fire Festival. And I think, no way. No way.

That's crazy that that's even a pin in Google Maps. Like that's even like a notable thing. And sure enough, it was meant to happen right there, right next. 0.1 miles. That's why it looks so familiar. How far away do we live? 0.05 miles?

Yeah, I don't know how far away. 0.1 miles is insane. One of the golf holes on the resort, hole 17, was almost backed up to the Fyre Festival where it was supposed to happen. Okay. Which is pretty cool.

And so anyway i feel like realizing that now looking back it was quite the foreshadowing of events that come as we had a little bit of a fire festival of a honeymoon and um because so i thought it'd be fun much like i did for the wedding i was like i want to remember things honeymoon so i wrote like little daily journal entries cool and they ended up just becoming a list of just like all these things that like did not come to fruition or did not work out. So Rachel and I are the type, we were very active on vacation.

I like to wake up. Let's do a sunrise hike. Then let's go to a waterfall, swim in the waterfall. Let's see if we can jump off of it later. See if there's a rope swing, you know, whatever. I love just being active on vacations. I was like, the honeymoon, this is your one excuse. Spend a little bit more money and just be treated, be served, and just enjoy it.

And so did spend a lot more money than I've ever spent on a vacation. And I think with that came higher expectations. Naturally. And with that came unmet expectations. Dang. So let me get more disc numbers out of the way. Rachel and I had a good time. We had fun.

Sure. It's, it's Jake and Rachel. You're going to have, we had a blast still, but we will not be going back to Sandals Emerald Bay. It was, it was just interesting.

So under, under day one, I have just like, so we get there and you know, they take your, take your luggage from you. Like this will be delivered to the room later. That's great. Room's not ready for a while, but you can go ahead and hang out, whatever from you. This will be delivered to the room later. That's great.

Room's not ready for a while, but you can go ahead and hang out, whatever. Okay, no problem. What time do you all get there? I think we got there at one. Room's not ready until three. No problem. No problem.

No problem. Give you a little hot towel? Oh, yeah, they did. We didn't know what to do with it. I never know what to do with it. I'm like, thanks. I'm pretty dry right now. I just got here.

And so I was going to take it with me. I was like, we'll need it later. But then there was like a towel disposal. Like, well, you have to throw it dry right now. I just got here. And so I was going to take it with me. I was like, well, maybe I'll need it later. But then there was like a towel disposal. Like, well, you have to throw it away right here. So I was like, oh, okay. Mmm, smells good. I was like, mmm, what is that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Lemon tea? Okay, yeah. That's nice. Okay. Because if you're completely dry, it's like, I don't want to make my face wet. I don't know. It's just soaking my towel. Add to the humidity. So, it's like, I don't want to make my face wet. I don't know. It's just soaking wet towel. Add to the humidity.

So she's like, mm, that smells good. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's, oh. You want to touch towels? That's funny. I forgot about that. Good thought.

Good memory. Yeah, that was one of the first things. And so they're showing us around. And anyway, I think when we finally did get to our room um the bags weren't there yet not a huge deal okay but it started to be a couple hours now bats bag still haven't come another thing was that they said like hey well actually uh when your golf bag does get delivered to your room uh we can actually uh drop that off for you at the pro shop so you don't have to lug it around i was like well that's kind of nice.

The golf bag actually did come. So I called them. Hey, I was told like, you can like come like take my golf bag and take it to the pro shop. Like, like, oh yeah, we'll be there right then. So it was great. So we're getting settled. Could you understand them very well? It was funny.

Rachel and I never both understood someone, but we always, one of us did. Oh, it was great. There must've been two dialects or something. And I knew one and Rachel knew the other. Interesting. Because we never both understood someone, but we always, one of us did. Oh, it was great. There must've been two dialects or something. And I knew one and Rachel knew the other. Interesting. Cause we never both knew, but one of us always seemed to have a grasp of it. Um, Rachel was hilarious.

Rachel's probably worse than I was. I mean, they were like, do you have a good day? Rachel go, thank you. Rachel. He asked him,

and I'm like, have an answer. Yes, we did. It was fun. You know, um, okay,

sorry. So, so we're, we're settling in, um, kind of taken in the room to answer. Yes, we did. It was fun. You know, whatever. Okay, sorry. So we're settling in. Kind of taken in the room right away. Nothing too special. Oh, I did put all my clothes in the dresser. Thought of you.

Thought of you on the honeymoon. And? Not bad. I kind of like it. Are you into it? Yeah. You going to do it again? Maybe, yeah.

If I'm like an extended stay for a while. I think three days or more, you go for it. Really like the clothes in the dresser. I know. It's having compartmentalized. Yes. Because I had to pack for a while. I think three days or more, you go for it. Really like the clothes in the dresser. I know. It's having compartmentalized. Yes. Because I had to pack for a long time. That pumps me up right there, bro.

Yeah. Yeah, good for you. Had a lot of clothes. Yeah, had them all separated. That was nice. We're looking at the TV, and it is like some brand. I've never, not a smart TV.

And I don't even know how you get a TV like this quality where it's like flickering static as you watch it. Oh, like I've owned TVs my whole life. Yeah. Never had a TV where it just gets staticky. Whenever we stayed in the hospital for Catherine's like extended stay before Hattie, that, that was how their TVs were. And it was, yeah, it's, it's pretty infuriating. Just because, just because you know how good it can be, you know, how cheap TVs are. Well, you know how good it can be and you know how good it used to be. And it's like, it's not even as good as it used to be. Yeah. This is worse than a new TV 15 years ago. Like

back when it was like, Whoa, look at HD. Like this is nuts. But then you go back to like normal. It's like, well, I can still see pretty well. This was like less than that. Yeah. You know what I mean? And it had like one of those lines that goes up the TV the whole time, you know, like one, I don't even know how to describe it. There's just like a line. Yeah. It's just like, it's like cycling through. Yeah.

Like a radar. Like a radar is going up and down the TV. Not a huge deal. It's not like I plan on watching a lot of TV, but it's like, yeah, I know how much I spent. I think, I don't know how much, I think it costs us around a thousand dollars a day to be there. Yeah.

I know. And once you know that, I know that it's like, I'm not getting a thousand dollars worth. Holy be there. Yeah, I know. And once you know that, I know, then it's like, I'm not getting a thousand dollars worth. Holy cow. Oh, that's tough. Yeah. And that's like, that's like tough because like in so many ways, that's the beauty of, uh, all inclusives is that it's like, once you spend the money, you're good and you don't have to worry about any other expenses. But then when things are going wrong, it's like, I know how much I spent. You think, you think these nachos, you know with nasty salsa is worth a thousand dollars a day you know whatever or this tv yeah exactly yeah it's it's a little easier to have your expectations unmet which is unfortunate but uh we go to dinner uh we find this place you need reservations about

half the spots uh but we just got there with our reservation so we just go to the drunk duck oh sure it's themed after a british pub of course you know rachel and we love the pub scene you half the spots. But we just got there. We had our reservation. So we just go to the Drunk Duck. Oh, sure. It's themed after a British pub. Of course. You know, Rachel and I, we love the pub scene. You guys are big fish and chipsers. That's going to come back later. That is going to come back. So, yeah. That's going to be on the

test. Everyone remember our fish and chips? This is where Charles Dickens used to eat when he came to Exuma. Yes, exactly. He landed here. He established this. Anyway, we go into the Drunken Duck about 6 p.m. Normal dinner time. Hello. Only ones in there. Not a good sign. Just like a sad bartender in there. Hey, welcome in. And we're the only ones. And of course, terrible sign. Yeah, not a good sign. It's freezing cold in there. And so we're like, hey, can we get you a table? Like, yeah, we'd actually like to sit outside.

We're not doing outdoor seating right now. No problem. Okay. It's not a huge deal. It's Mon June, so yeah. Not a huge deal, but it's just like, it's your day one of the first time at an all-inclusive resort. I just thought we'd get anything we wanted.

You want to sit outside? I mean, there's seats and tables outside. Yeah. We'd sit outside. I'm not doing that right now. Really? Come inside with no one. Hey, yeah.

And so the food the entire time, if you've stayed at the Sandals, maybe you've had a similar experience, but a little bit of a disappointment just across the board. Because that was one of the things like, yeah, I chose a resort with a golf course. That was a little bit for me, a little bit. But I also chose a resort that had more restaurants than other resorts that I compared them against.

Because I was like, Rachel's going to love that. A different restaurant every night. We'll go to two in one night, two dinners. And they were a little bit of a disappointment. The drunk duck and the high horse. Yeah, the squirmy goose. Whatever, we eat dinner. We're still having a great time.

We're taking it all in. We decided to go see, they have a concierge there. Rachel kept calling her concierge Marie from the office, which was great. And so we go because we're looking at the app and Sandals app, you know, it's kind of nice to have one of these. And we see there's a talent show in the app, like, when is the talent show?

And they say, oh, we're not doing that. We're like, oh, okay. It was on the app for like this resort for this week. And I'm like, all right, what about windsurfing? The water sports the like the adrenaline sports are one of the reasons i chose this spot too okay like ah we we no longer have wind surfing okay okay all right well what about um what tell me about golf i'm excited about

golf yeah um well right now there's only like five or six holes that are not underwater underwater oh my gosh. Monsoon, baby. So I'm like, all right. So just right away, anything we asked about, I feel like it was just like... Just like getting kicked down. Yeah, yeah. Just like, can't do this. Can't do this. We don't have that. So I don't even remember what else there was

that first night. I remember those three things specifically. So it's like, all right, whatever. Go back to the room. Once again, not a huge deal, but the golf bag is still there. They said they'd pick it up. I've called them. I got to call them again. Sure. Call them whatever. Go back to the room. Once again, not a huge deal, but golf bag is still there. They said they'd pick it up. I've called him. I got to call him again. Sure.

Call him again. Wake up in the morning. Golf bag's still there. It's like, not a huge deal. But if you say you're going to do it, do it. Yeah. We go to the ocean, day two. They've got this thing that looks like the monster trucks of the beach.

I've never seen anything like this. It looks, remember at camp they had aqua skippers? Yeah. It's a little bit looking like that like metal bars okay but there's a seed on it and it's got huge monster truck type wheels and then it's a tricycle i don't know what it went on i knew i wanted to be on it yeah how tall are we talking i bet you sit up like four feet off the ground that's pretty that's huge tires huge tricycle aquatic rubber tires plasticibious thing. Rubber tires? Plastic tires? Looks a little more like plastic tires. What color?

Like a faded red. Okay. Used to be bright red. Sure. They've been in the sun for a while. Like one of those like bats back, like baseball bats back in the day. Yeah. Kind of like light, like pinkish red.

My Mark Twain Elementary School's tether balls became this color. Okay, great. Started off red, I'm sure. Sure. I only saw them as kind of faded pink. Yes. Anyway, so we go to the aqua shop or whatever. I'm like, yo, what is that thing?

And they're like, oh, that's not working right now. Like, of course, anything I want to do doesn't work around here. That's wild. And so that is a market. So we're like, well, let's go golf. And so, of course, they're like, yeah, it's only like five or six holes right now. So like, that's fine. We'll do it. And they're like, oh, you do have to pay for the cart. And I was like, yeah, it's only like five or six holes right now. And so like, that's fine. We'll do it.

And they're like, oh, you do have to pay for the cart. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I was like all over the website. And I'm like showing her, I'm like, it says unlimited green fees, you know, unlimited all that, you know, and they just get you with that. And so I was like, oh my gosh, you got to pay for this. Was it like a higher expense than normal cart? For five holes?

Yeah. Yeah. For five holes, it was more than you would normally spend. Right. But whatever, we get out there. We actually golfed with someone recognized as the first night at the resort. He was like, hey, are you Jake? And I was like, yeah, what's up?

He was like, I am good friends with Eli McDonald. I was like, oh. What? No way. I was like, you went to K-State, I guess? He's like, yeah. And so he was like, he was just at my wedding. We got married two days ago. He was in my wedding. He was a groom and groom. I was like, that is awesome. I love Eli. I was like, I was just

literally thinking about him a couple of days ago. I forget why now, but I'm missing about Eli. And so I got his number, learned he was a golfer. I was like, let's go golfing. Cool. And so we went with Jacob and Kristen the next day. They were awesome. And anyway, we got through like five. Oh, also at the desk, it said golf scramble tournament Thursday. I was like, oh, so fun. Rachel, we got to do the golf tournament.

I was like, hey, tell me about the golf scramble tournament. Oh, we're not doing that. We're not doing it. Gosh, nothing. Do you do anything around here? What do you do here? You get the ducks drunk and that's it. They're fire-festing you. They fire-fested you drunk and that's it. They're fire-festing you.

They fire-fested you, dude. They really did. They fire-fested me. I got fested. You should have been like, you guys are festing me all over the place. Just shorten it to F. Like, you guys are F-ing me, man.

Fire-F-ing me. It sounds like a chorus of scramble. We get through about five golf holes and then the storm comes and we just, um, we had to, had to get out of there. Um, you see it coming?

Yeah. A little bit. It was like spitting on us for a little bit. I was like, all right, we got to get out of here. It's, it's,

we're getting French. So we go and have like a little brunch, go to this, uh, French restaurant. Ooh. only one's in there left foo frog no it's all like frog and duck face ever like this is kind of a red flag right larva eggs no one's there is anybody at the resort it seemed like there weren't a lot of people there we learned later that they were at 30 capacity which has got to be kind of sad for them too it'd be like doing camp you know sometimes

you have down sure terms or like ah it was full last term it's not as fun so do you think you got a discount compared to normal i doubt it yeah that's what it sounds like but i'm like it seems like you're you went in the off season or something yeah interesting yeah i'm sure it's packed probably more in the winter. Yeah. It makes sense. Okay. So nobody at the French restaurant. Nobody at the restaurant. We're just kind of weird,

just like vibes, just like there was no music going on overhead, just like silent, awkward. We're alone in this huge restaurant. It's kind of weird vibes. Jacob and Kristen? No, no, no. Kristen? They didn't join us.

Okay. We go back to the room and what'd you have from the french restaurant so this is another thing i wasn't gonna mention this but it was all mismatched dude like one of the restaurants were just closed they didn't have that the other one's like like oh if you want to go to that restaurant it's actually in the french one for breakfast so you'd have to keep it straight like all right so it's in the french restaurant but it's actually this restaurant so i think i got like waffles or something there um gotcha but uh later on i did go to dinner at the french restaurant i got the snapper filet oh it's actually not bad cool i just

put a bunch of salt on it sure yeah salt and butter yeah it makes anything good um go back to the room i think i i went to go like find uh i forgot what i was walking around rachel goes to shower we get back to the room and turns out there's a little hole in the shower door or something there's some holes in this door flooded flooded the room the room the room not just the bathroom Bad drainage. It is not built. Yeah. Just from the shower? From the shower.

Oh, no. Floods the room. Rachel's suitcase is soaked. There's rugs in her room. Oh, because she didn't do the thing. She should have put her stuff in the drawers. She did after that. Yeah.

Wait, you got the rug soaked? Is that what you said? Rug soaked. No, dude. So it's like, I don't even know how to get this going. So we're trying got the rug soaked. Is that what you said? Rug soaked. No, dude. So it's like, I don't even know how to like get this going. So we're trying to like lift things up. We're getting the ceiling fan going, get things off the ground. Just kind of a bummer. You didn't, you stayed in the room. You didn't say like, Hey, this is flooded. Can we get another room?

You know, that is probably my fault. It truly didn't even cross my mind. It wasn't like I thought of it and then decided not to people pleaser. I didn't even think of it. Okay. Good point. I should ask for a new room. I would have been like, surely there's another one of these that does not leak. I will say I called and I was like, hey, our room flooded. Can we get some towels? And like, sure, no problem.

They were like, hey, your room, is everything okay? Par for the course, which is only five holes, by the way. And so no big deal. So we're like cleaning up, whatever. But I had seen somewhere in a pamphlet or something earlier that laundry services were provided. I was like, that's so great because leading into this, you know, I'd done four days of shows.

Rachel had had a weekend away beforehand. So it's like we came into the honeymoon with dirty clothes. Yeah. Like, that's great. So like, hey, how do we do laundry? I'm calling, talking to concierge Marie. Anyway, I find the laundry bag. I took

a picture of this because I didn't want to forget it. The services are provided, but laundry is not free, which I was not expecting. Laundry costs money. Luckily, I saw the sheet of paper before you put your clothes in the laundry bag because you're supposed to fill out how much is in there.

Right. Because then they figure out how much to charge you. So here's the – I'm looking at like a sheet of paper from the Sandals Resort, how much laundry costs. So per pair of socks, $3 a piece. What? Per pair of socks? Yes.

$3. That's $1.50 a sock. That's a McChicken per sock. Per undergarment, $3 a piece, which Rachel claims should be the most expensive thing. Those are the most vital things

to have clean. Okay, fair. Rachel's like, you should be charging us way more. Yeah. Let's see. What else is kind of egregious on here all of it yeah i mean all of it pants nine dollars a piece for for each pair of pants so did okay

yeah um and then just each uh let's see what's the most expensive they got coats on there yeah i think you can like get a wedding dress cleaned we cocktail dress 35 um honestly sweater 20 a cocktail dress for 35 seems way more reasonable to me than a pair of socks for three i know right like if i go to like a tuxedo 27 that seems fine if i go with dry cleaners and i ask them to yeah clean my tuxedo like yeah they're gonna charge a decent amount of money for it like 30 bucks or something yeah if you went to a dry cleaner like hey can you clean my socks you're like Like, yeah, they're going to charge a decent amount of money for it. Like 30 bucks or something. Yeah. If you went to a dry cleaner and you're like, Hey, can you clean my socks?

You're like, yeah, we'll do a million for $3. Yes, dude. This is not worth our time. Give us the whole bin. That is $3.

Yeah. Polo shirt, $11. That's crazy. Okay. So did you, did you do laundry? No,

I was like, Rachel, I would have made fun of you so hard. If you did, I was kind of down though. Cause a little bit of me was like, we're on our honeymoon. fun of you so hard if you did honestly i was kind of down though because a little bit of me was like we're on our honeymoon yeah if it costs 80 bucks to do laundry but we have clean clothes we should probably just do it but rachel was like no no i think we can do it without it yeah i heard the words built-in underwear a lot so i think she's

like no i should be fine yeah a lot of should be fine so a lot of i mean i can go hop in the pool she's doing kind of jake at summer camp type rationalization um you should just spend whatever hindsight it's just 2020 but it's like hey fyi all of our clothes got flooded you know from your shower from the shower can we i'm not even asking for a new room for can you just do some laundry for free but um wow that that three dollars for socks I'll never get over that. That was crazy. I don't even want to add up how much this is going to cost us to do laundry right now. I thought it was going to be

per pound, and it was going to be kind of an egregious amount per pound, but even then it was like, okay. Per garment's wild. Per garment, that's psychotic behavior. Because that means that somebody is itemizing every single one of your pieces of laundry. That's weird

by itself. Just take the bag, dump it into the big washer. And just do small, medium, or large load. That's what you should be charging. Per weight or whatever. Yes. We should do this. We should take over under the table, go to Exuma, and just be like,

hey, you need some laundry done. I know a guy. And a medium loan. Yeah. 15 bucks. Yeah, exactly. Rachel was adamant that I need to go back and work there and teach them how to do like programming.

Like me and you come and can't a cuck a five this place. Yeah. Like they, every now and then they just do like, Hey, add a, in 15 minutes, we're doing a ring toss by the pool and I'm starving for any competition or any like just fun. Like, oh, I'm there. The winner gets a free like fifth of rum. I don't even want it. But I will try to win a ring toss.

I don't even know what that looks like, to be honest. Couldn't even. Like, is that this big? Is that this big? I don't know. Yeah. And it was just so lame. It's just like off to the side.

Three of us competed. It was just so lame. It was like, all right, stand. Stand right there. Yeah, there's good. And just try to throw it on this table with the rum on it. And you do it once. You throw three rings.

And like, all right, you won. It's a packed house today, so we can't do it more than once. It's like, dang. That was wild. That was nuts, guys. The last thing on day two, and then we'll get to an ad. But I feel like you're really going to appreciate this. Because it was like.

I don't know if I'll appreciate anything as much as $3 socks. I'll never get over $3 socks, dude. That is insane to me. I would have berated the $3 sock people. The sock people. I would say sock it to you. Yeah, we went to dinner at a place called the Sock Duck. They had a hibachi place, but I was pretty fired up about it.

Needed reservations. What was it called? Kimono. Fun. Seems pretty appropriating of the people. We'll call it Emperor's. Right. I don't know.

We'll call it Samurai Sword. So go to Kimono, and we're in like, oh, I think we get to like the hostess table of course there's complications like they were like because we had a reservation for six they call us in the afternoon hey can you do seven sure you know there's like no one here but sure whatever yeah we get there like oh we had you down for eight we're like no well we had six and then you guys called us and just have it whatever like all right all right we should be able to get you on a seven. No problem. Do you have any dietary restrictions? And I'm thinking like, normally I don't say my meat thing. Cause I just order chicken. But as we start to talk to them, it sounds like everyone's going to get everything. So I was like,

oh, okay. I guess I didn't say this. So I was like, yeah, I can't have red meat. And she's like, and what about seafood? And I'm like, ah, you know, kind of a gray area. I'm like, ah, I'm not allergic to it, but I'm probably just going to order chicken. I think that really confused her, potentially. So she's like, okay, got it, got it, got it. We go back to the waiting room. Someone else comes up and just confirms one more time

while there's other people around. Kind of embarrassing. All right, and who was it? You will not be eating any steak or pork tonight? Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah. You, the beta over here in the corner. With the dirty underwear.

Yeah. And what was the deal with the seafood again? And I'm like, I mean, you could throw it off. I was just going to order chicken. I like chicken. But I'm allergic to red meat. Okay, got it, got it, got it. Got it, got it, got it, got it.

A couple minutes pass by. I kid you not, dude. The chef comes over. Broken English comes over. Broken English. Comes over. Who can't have steak? Who is the one that knows steak? And I'm just like,

that's me. And I'm just like, jeez, dude. And so I don't know why the chef come meet me. I don't know if this guy ever comes to the waiting room to talk to people before.

Right. And I'm like, I'm never mentioning this again. The owner of the resort comes over like, hey, we've heard somebody over here. Hey, who's my brother? Who needs... Hey, man.

We got the one that doesn't like the steak, man. Who doesn't like it? Everyone in the neighborhood is talking about it. Billy McFarland from Fire Festival comes over. Hey, man, I heard. I was thinking about doing another Fire Festival. Yeah, Ja Rule is over here. Hey, yo, Jake. Heard you don't like no steak.

Like what? How did you get here? Ja Rule, that's so funny. Isn't that who it was? Yeah, no, you nailed it. Yeah. I know because Rachel and I watched Fire Festival this week. It was fun to watch it while we were there like that's our island that's right that's yeah yeah they talked about our resort in the fire festival documentary

anyway so the chef comes over i'm like oh my gosh um get to the table which i was i was fiending for just like friendship the whole time it was just so fun i was like i wanted games i wanted fun and i wanted friends cool and so hibachi was perfect. I've never been more friendly to chop it up. Like, hey, who are you guys? Where are you from? Because I just wanted to get to know people. And so it was fun.

We met some great couples right next to us. And the chef finally comes over. He's cooking up some rice. He's like, before we get to the meat, he leans into me. He's like, hey, I remember. You didn't have the red meat thing. It like sealing me out like no everyone has stopped talking and they're all just watching this like private conversation and i'm just like trying to like yeah yeah we're good we're good we're good he's like so so just just chicken just chicken for you i'm like yeah yeah yeah we're good okay

so i won't i won't kick any red meat and everyone else let's have a good time yeah yeah yeah i just i got so so singled out. Oh my gosh. It was, it was despicable. Was it one of those things? Yeah. Like knowing you, I think eventually you get a little bit like, I don't know if prideful is the right word, but you get mad like, or like annoyed.

Oh yeah. You're like, Hey man, just like, just stop. Like I'm good. I know. It was still very polite. Just like, ah, get it over with. Just get it. Just make it stop. Okay. Okay. Did Rachel it was still very polite. Just like, ah, get it over with. Just make it stop. Okay, okay.

Did Rachel find it funny? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she's like, that's amazing. They have confirmed with you four times, which on one end, they're trying to really be protective. But I feel like I gave nothing but pretty chill vibes. I'm just going to have the chicken.

Every time I've ever been at one of those places in Kansas City, not the Bahamas. You order. Yeah. You order. And then, yeah, they do like a little steak for one person.

Oh, you want a chicken teriyaki and chow mein coming right up. Great. And I'm surprised no one else also just said, I want chicken. I know. 11 out of 12. They're all just like,

give me, give me the works. Give me the grand slam. Wow. I was the one person who was like, just chicken. Do you think you would have gotten sick off of of eating chicken that also had beef next to it? No, I don't know.

That's fine. You wouldn't have felt that? Yeah. Okay. It's fine. That's funny, dude. Wow. Anyway, that was special.

That was night two. Night two, man. But we have a new sponsor. And it's a new sponsor to me, not a new sponsor to you. Yeah, you guys know about them. You guys love them. They're C3 Bros. But I think i'm pronouncing wrong c3b rose c3b rose yeah that's right and you had kind of something special to saying when it comes to c3b rose we love c3b rose C3Bros. We have Mr. C3Brio here with us, ready to talk about this amazing company.

We love C3Bros. Is that all you were programmed to say? Yes. We. Oh. That was a glitch. We love C3B. All right.

He's kind of glitching out right now. He's having a little trouble. Love, love, love, love. We love, we love, we love C3B Rose. Somebody unplug his cord or something. Oh, he's back. Oh, that was, gosh, that was something. I got unplugged. He's back. that was gosh that was something i got unplugged he's back i have a huge headache all of a sudden um brad i i've not tried these yet but you've been talking

them up to me dude you're gonna love them months years how long have you been telling me about these things probably a year at least since we've found out about them we we talk about them we serve them to everybody we love um and you're one of those people. Yeah. Um, yeah. C3 bros, uh, is from cooking with Lori. If you want to follow her on Instagram, cooking with Lori is a great follow on Instagram. Lori Carlson's the name of the owner and they're just seasoning packets, um, that you add to your food and they just make it so, so, so delicious. Genuinely wonderful, wonderful seasoning packets. It sounds so simple, but it's amazing how much of a difference it can make. I think it's the perfect marriage of good ranchers and C3 bros. It's going to be euphoric.

Okay. For the people that try it. I'm actually so hungry right now. That sounds amazing. It is amazing, dude. But I mean, it can't be that simple, right? It's probably what, 11, 12, 14 steps? No, there are, you know, three steps. Gotcha. You select the seasoning packet. Okay. You add your protein, your veggies, your wet ingredients. There's two.

And then you have everyone raving about your meal. Wow. So really only two steps. Two steps plus eating the darn thing. A bonus step. I mean, it truly is so, so good. These, these seasoning packets, whether you're a fan of fish, chicken, maybe you like beef. I don't know. Do you like beef, Jake? Are you okay having beef? I'm not going to have the beef. I'm just going to have the chicken. Whatever it is that, I mean, they have, they have different

ingredients and different packets for each types of tastes and flavors, whatever you're looking for. But truly it is so good. They're a great small business and you're looking for. Um, but truly it is so good. They're a great small business and they're trying to, you know, make it, uh, they started this thing, um, in 2020 during COVID-19, they're looking for healthy, clean versions of seasoning packets, no MSG, none of that garbage added. And so Lori's like, I'm just going to do this myself. Let's, let's get after this thing. Fine. I'll do it myself. That's fine. Let's make it. And then I'm going to start selling it because everyone else loves it as well. And Catherine, uh, got ahold of them somehow. I think she was following cooking with Lori on Instagram. And all of a

sudden it's, it's almost everything we ever eat. It's a great stocking stuffer. It's a great gift for people. You can get, you know, five of them, 10 of them as gifts, uh, send those out to people. Um, and people, whether you're a foodie, whether you're a normie like us, Jake and I, you know, Jake and I can make this stuff and that's, what's so wonderful about it. Uh, but foodies alike also really love it. Cause it's just an explosion of flavor in your mouth, brother. I don't know what it says about the stage of life I'm in, but I'm, I'm really excited about seasoning. I think it's just an explosion of flavor in your mouth, brother. I don't know what it says about the stage of life I'm in, but I'm really excited about seasoning. I think it's because I'm eating a little healthier and seasoning can go a long way.

Totally. No, that's the thing is that the ingredients are healthy. The recipes themselves are generally very, very healthy. And so it's like, yeah, it just takes this really good chicken that we already have from Good Ranchers. We add crispy sage chicken to it. Holy cow. It is insane.

The only thing that's bad about it is there never any leftovers. Use code GRKC for 15% off your entire order. C3bros.com. B-R-O-S. C3 Bros. Cool. GRKC. Hey, and let's overwhelm them.

Let's overwhelm them. Let's shock them. Let's overwhelm them with support. Let's just like, because they're a small business. I know what it's like as a small business to get a lot of orders randomly at once. It's like, I don't know. Maybe it's the rainy season right now. I don't know why I'm getting all this thing. But let's rain down on

them in Mon June. Let's give them just more orders than they can handle, baby. But they'll be able to handle it. They will figure it out. But just know they're a small business. They're a small family that we would really bless by ordering from them. So thanks for their sponsorship, C3Bros.com.

his mom and his sister. I know various times. So many people was the sister, the one that we met in Florida. She was, yeah, she was in seaside the same time we were dude. And like Caleb and I, I consider him a friend that I've never met.

He's one of those ghosties, and so I'm very excited about that. That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, still no official news on that yet, but we have a venue that we think we're going to use. Whatever. We'll talk more about it later, but we're not able to tour it until next week.

So still, still just up in the air, but just know that it's going to be Zoppity. I think after this weekend, well, I guess now the week that you're listening to this, I'm not traveling for a while. Brad and I are really going to have to,

you know, we'll have some time to hunker down and really get a bunch of stuff done. So yeah, we'll have details to you and, you know, pray a couple of weeks, please. Yes.

But August 18th and 19th, check it out. It's happening. Come to Kansas city. Day three of fire festival. Woke up with some bug bites. Uh, woke up with some bug. Yeah. Actually, do you see this on the bottom of my chin here? Yeah. That is a bug bite from the trip. It's still there because, well, so I woke up with this bite on my chin, among other bug bites. And then the next morning woke up, and it was just like this bloody scabs. I must have just gotten after it in my sleep, just itching it and just making it bleed. Anyways, it turned into a little scab-o, but it's fine. Anyway, so yeah, I started to wake up with bug bites. Like, that is not great.

Sorry, go ahead. In my notes, I put breakfast was brutal. Rachel had to spit out pancakes. What? I've never seen Rachel spit out anything. out anything yeah yeah they really just screwed up pancakes somehow they just didn't cook them you think i don't know what happened i mean they looked golden brown they looked amazing just tasted added awful the baking soda oh yeah something was like did not work really happen wait did rachel wake up with like, was it bedbugs, you think? They weren't quite bedbugs. They're sand flies.

Okay. They have down there. So, but you think they were in your bed? Yeah, I think they were in the room. Actually, pretty sure they're in the room because today, I mean, probably 10 minutes before you guys got here, we found a ton of them in our closet. They were in Rachel's suitcase.

They were in her clothes. We killed probably 40 or 50. Yeah, they were just running around her closet. It was pretty like creepy and weird and just gross. Rachel's going to town with her sandal, just like killing these, like they look like ants, but I think they're, yeah, they're called sand flies. I can't believe they're still alive.

Yeah. And anyway, then we got a vacuum. Vacuum works pretty good on ants. Okay. Anyway, so yeah, killed about 40, 50 of those this morning. And Rachel's called, they were just scurrying everywhere. It was a bummer. Welcome to marriage, brother, you know? So not quite bug bites, but I'd 40, 50 of those this morning. They were just scurrying everywhere. It was a bummer. Welcome to marriage, brother.

So not quite bug bites, but I'd wake up with probably 10 every morning, 10 new ones. Yeah, breakfast sucked. This was Wednesday, though. You got to laugh. I know, yeah. I want you guys to know, Rachel and I still had a good time. It's just like, all right, now we know. We won't go back.

I feel like there's some movie I can't think of. I'm sure there's lots of movies like this, but it's like happy go lucky guy, you know, just gets 15,000 things thrown at them that are not good. And it's like, when's he going to crack? Was it the pancake? There was a moment. There was a moment. This is great. Um, so the pancakes weren't good yeah it was just a weird breakfast just the food as a whole just like there was never just like a i don't know even the what looked like a continental breakfast you couldn't just walk in like you had to be seated you couldn't just like go grab a muffin and leave it was like really we just like go huh oh wow just just all timon's text okay oh

what happened uh where the sd card or the ssd i don't think i've talked at all hello i'm here sorry timon no it's fine i'm just like we're just realizing that i'm here time is back yeah everyone's back 17 we can well it's fine we'll we'll have a we'll have to have a part two of the uh of the honeymoon i think it's fun i think that will be totally fine yeah cool just know that we would love to talk for longer on this episode, but we literally don't have the space because technology is annoying sometimes. Yeah. And time is

annoying sometimes. No. Forgot it says SST. No, that's not it. Honestly, I honestly did not attribute any of that to you, Timon. I promise. Yeah. I'll get it. How about I finish day three? Another ad. Wrap it up. Great. We were excited because there were some things on the schedule this day. I think at like 11 a.m. it said Pool Olympics.

Like, sweet. At noon it said Water Balloon Toss, which me and my dad won one of those one time at Solar City. Yeah. Great memory. Rachel's like, oh, I can't let you down. She's got the softest of hands. Supple.

She is sup-sup. Yeah. So we're excited um this is the first uh or i think basically big old rainstorm came in all that got canceled didn't get to do that uh but got a lot of reading done on my kindle yeah finished verity in a day in a day yeah finish it how many pages is that i don't know i finished it i think it was like probably like a five hour read or so nice dude knocked it out really good apparently good enough to yeah good book which i loved all the comments people were like never heard of a guy reading verity which i was like why anyway yeah it was it's written by colleen hoover which i think is known

i know now she's kind of a steamy romance type author, like written for women. Gotcha. Anyway, he's now ventured into like mystery, psychological thriller. That's what Verity is. Still some hints of some steam in there. There are some parts where I was like, I hope no one's reading this over my shoulder. Right. Oh my gosh.

Get some dehumidifiers out. Yeah, it was interesting. But yeah, really good book. Finished that in a day. Also at this point, I think day three, I wrote down in my notes. This is when it dawned on me. I was like, wait, because I don't remember if I told you on the podcast or off, but I know that we had got upgraded like a honeymoon package. We proved that it was our honeymoon. And I remember telling you, I was disappointed. It's like the biggest thing we got was just a candlelight dinner. I was like, oh, I was thinking

like a couple's massage or, you know, maybe some other stuff. And you were like, actually the candlelight dinner is pretty nice. Yep. Day three, I wrote down, oh, yeah. When are we supposed to get our candlelight dinner? Like that just dawned on me on the third day. They were not like proactively like giving it to you. Make sure you don't forget your candlelight dinner that you earned. So that was an interesting thing. You earned this.

You said I do. Yeah. So that was day three. It basically just rained the whole day, read a bunch, and watched Fire Festival. It's a good time, man. That's yeah. I'm just, I'm just bummed because my experience with all inclusive was just the opposite of everything you're saying. I know. So it's interesting is if like a lot of our friends, like our millennial friends here in Kansas city all said good things like, Oh, sandals. Oh, that's,

you're going to have a good time. Oh, all inclusive. Oh yeah. I can't go wrong. And since then I've had two different people in my life. So yesterday, manager Joe calls me. I'm like, hey, we're on the golf course. We're filming. Let's just catch up really quickly. He's like, how was honeymoon? I was like, it wasn't great. It rained a lot. I got a bunch of bug bites in my room. He goes, what'd you do? Stayed at sandals? I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. How did you know? He's like, they are a great marketing company. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. How did you know? He's like, they are a great marketing company. Yeah. And I was like, where was that?

No one told me. How much did you look into reviews at Cotto Lodge? I guess I could have done a better job, but I did do a good amount of due diligence. It sounds like you knew. Yeah, you were like water sports, and you said. I wanted to windsurf. I wanted to golf. The things they advertised, they didn't follow.

11 restaurants. That sounds amazing. Did you look on TripAdvisor? That's my big thing. No, I did not. I like TripAdvisor because they'll tell you how it is. Yeah. But yeah, I have heard that's like, they're not all created equal.

But the one that I've ever been to was like, man, this one was great. And that's the thing. I'm sure there probably are some sandals resorts that are amazing. There are some all-inclusives that are amazing. We didn't go to sandals. Really? You went to, yeah. I called my-

And what happens there gets documented. I did love saying things from the office. Like, I loved- Bahamas, Larges. Yeah, I'd say, Jamaica's Larges, Freshwater Pool. I said that 12 times on the honeymoon. That was a good time. All-inclusive.

And then also my parents last night, they were like, how was it? I'm kind of giving them the rundown. They're like, yeah, we didn't really love our all inclusive either. I'm like, oh, well,

I didn't know that. Yeah. Especially because they're like all inclusive. They love the cruise life, which is all inclusive to an extent. I think it's just not worth the money probably. Man, that's too much.

Cruises are like, you know, a fourth of the cost probably. And you do get the all inclusive feel still. I'm sorry. Yeah. I really, i really liked ours but anyway it was a fire festival but it was no smokeless fire no it wasn't a lot of smoke a

lot of steam it sounds like coming from uh bahamas you and katherine talked about this when you guys did your podcast which was hilarious i was i laughed so much in the first five minutes it was amazing which we talked about what the uh the aqs at the beginning oh yeah we're so funny and then whatever happened right out of the theme song now i don't remember but it was so funny oh i think i said like having lots of fun no doubt and she was like brad don't say that it's from the office lots of fun no doubt that was so funny anyway but you talked about how the night before we left, we were neighbors officially. We had fondue. Shout out your parents. Yes. And we had Brio.

It was awesome. It was the best. We're sponsored by Brio, B-R-E-E-O, smokeless fire pits. You guys know them. You guys love them by now. We're trying to overwhelm them with orders, guys. We're trying to overwhelm the people. What's the jingle timing that you came up with last time we were together? Come on, I know you remember it.

I cannot remember it. Do the one that you were singing earlier. Alright, we'll do the remix then. I think I only had the beat for that one. I think, Brad, you were... Go ahead. Beat it up.

Yeah. Melody was great. That was awesome. Thanks, man. No, but Brio, truly like check them out. Brio, B-R-E-E-O.com. They have smokeless fire pits that are really, really wonderful on their own.

But then they have all these accessories that you can add to them to grill things. You can make pancakes that Rachel won't spit out. Yeah. You can make eggs, steak, veggies, whatever.

We're going Brio right here. Good ranchers right here. C3B rows over here. C3 bros all together would make one of the best nights of your entire life. That does sound awesome. I'm just saying right now, um, Brio is, is the best. They have

the most amazing fire pits. I'm truly convinced that if you buy one, you will have it for the rest of your life. It's that high quality. They have three different levels. Um, so something for each, uh, tax bracket, if you will. Um, and yeah, truly just high quality. I've, I've owned it from before we've been a sponsor and really have truly always loved it. Their marketing director, Corey, is a ghostie. And so that's how we got connected. I met him on the beach. Dang it.

Let's do them. Mine is coming, excuse me, from ML Thieu. Nice. Thieu. T-H-E-W. How do you say that? Thieu. Thieu.

It's a five-star review. It says, best ads ever. As a stay-at-home mom, I look forward to doing the dishes or folding laundry now because I love listening to the Ghost Runners podcast. Jake and Brad find a way to be entertaining while still being lighthearted and good-natured. They also have the best sponsors. I've used three of their coupon codes and bought from four of their sponsors. Maybe they just have that good of sponsors or maybe Brad and Jake are that good of salesmen,

but either way, it works. Thanks for adding some extra fun to my day. Four of the sponsors only use three coupon codes. I'm very, unless you ordered one twice or something. Hey, Miss Thew. Hey, Thew. Hey, Thew Mama. What's the deal? What's the

sitch-thuation with that? Tymon liked that one. I got a lean back from Tymon on the sitch-thuation. That's't liked that one. I haven't liked that one. I got, I got to lean back from timing on the situation. That's really nice of you. That's really cool. I would screenshot that and send that to future advertisers. We, if you, if you want to advertise with us, holler at us. But we truly do kind of reverse engineer the process of like, who do we love? Let's try to get those people to advertise with us. So we truly believe in all our products and we do think

they're the best. Um, but so glad that you guys are supporting us in that way. That's awesome. Yeah. My review comes from Car Garage. Have we said this? Did you say this when I was gone? I don't know. I don't think so. Well, we'll have to see. He says, as a Christian father of three, but no, this one's great. You've seen it, but haven't read it? Yes. Cool. Christian father of three with number four on the way. It's nice to have a podcast to listen to when I'm by myself or around my family. Tymon's texting me while I'm trying to read. Okay, hard to do two at the same time.

Jake and Brad, keep the laughs coming. Keep it easy listening and lighthearted and aren't ashamed to share their life, life ups, downs, and their faith. I can live the dream of having a podcast with my best friends and sharing stories about our crazy lives through the Ghostrunners. Just a great pod to listen to and a great community

to be a part of. On your feet, people. Listen to this pod. Thanks, fellas. Sweet. We only have like two or three minutes left. That's great. Instead of a jingle, should we just talk about our clothes really quickly? Just close it out with that. Close it out with that. We're so excited. Look at our clothes. Look how good

looking we are right now. We have an apparel sponsor. sponsor it's so fun i got to come back from the honeymoon and there was just it's just hundreds of dollars of clothes waiting on me it was phenomenal i loved it it's a brand i was already wearing i wear this stuff all the time i performed in it tell us what brand it is oh sorry it's called roback it's it's just amazing we're so excited yeah and you guys get 20 off your first first order with them.

They have men and women stuff, but find a guy in your life and say, hey, what do you think about road back? Look at their stuff. I guarantee you, that stuff looks nice. I want that in my life. Their stuff is awesome. Yeah. Ben Miller in Florida said, hey, like if you could have one sponsor right now that you

don't have, what would it be? And I thought about it. I was like, I really like everybody. I don't know. I don't Apple or Ford. Like, like I don't, I don't use that many other products that I'm not already like, I'm not already advertising for. I was like, I think rowback is like, I love rowback stuff and I would love to, yeah. So sponsor that work. So excited. So R-H-O-B-A-C-K ghost 20, check it out. Um, they have golf stuff, but they have non golf stuff. Oh yeah. It's it's, it looks good no have golf stuff, but they have non-golf stuff. Oh, yeah. It looks good no matter

what. I think it started off as a golf brand. It's just an active brand now. They have gym shorts and I've been wearing their gym shorts a little too much these days, Jake. No doubt. 10 seconds left. 10 seconds. We love you guys. See you guys Wednesday. Go. Run back. Love you, Catherine. Ghost Rubs Podcast Ghost Rubs Podcast Ghost Rubs Podcast
