Back with another Wednesday episode. Brad, what's new? Just spending time with you, Jacob, in my robe bag. No, not good enough. Someone sees you on the street. Hey, Mr. I love that coral robe bag on you. Yeah, thank you. What's new? I've been getting into golf, so I've been wearing more robe bag. Oh, okay. Pretty good.

Getting ready to go to Pennsylvania in a couple of days. Oh, yeah. Tell me about that. Yeah, I'm actually really, not really nervous, but like not comfortable with my, like it's for TJ and Brooke's walk in love. You know, they have, they're doing a marriage conference and I think probably part of my intimidation is because the three people that are speaking, I really respect TJ and Brooke and then my friend Josh Straub and then my friend Jeremy Pryor, just studly people. And then another thing is like, I'm supposed to be this charming MC, fun.

Brad, just be funny. Just go up there and be funny. Just do your thing, Brad. And I don't know if I'm a quick to charm people kind of guy. I think I take a few. You're slow to charm. It's like I need three or four songs before you really start enjoying the sound of Brad Ellis. And so it's like, I need like three or four songs before you really start enjoying the sound of Brad Ellis.

And so it's like, okay, I got to get up there and just immediately try to be funny. That's really hard. I don't know if I'm ready for that. Especially because people aren't coming there to be entertained by charming Brad Ellis. They're coming there to learn more about their marriage. Yeah.

On one hand, I can see it working for you because they're not expecting to laugh at all. So the bar is low. On the other end, you don't have any relational equity with these people. They don't know who you are. So you got to like, yeah, you have to kind of educate them on, hey, this is the type of guy I'm going to be throughout the night. And you're going to like it. Most people do, right? Right. Do I come in hot? Do I come in just like myself and just be a genuine guy? Because I think a lot of what I'm supposed to be doing is

facilitating like the Q&A. So I'm supposed to be doing is facilitating like the Q&A. So I'm supposed to be the guy walking around with the mic, you know, shuffling all over to you, getting in there, you know, whatever, passing the mic around. I think one thing you don't do is try to be funny every single time you're given an opportunity to. Okay.

Like that's the one way to do a bad job. Just like, yeah. Boink. Oh, there's your microphone. Can I throw it to you? You don't think that's a good idea? Yeah, just being like aes character the whole time oh tripped it oh poke your eyes out all right this guy's got a question are you hitting him on the head with it yeah don't do that don't do that okay okay yeah but i think yeah we were talking about this a little bit last week it's tough that you don't have a co

mc with you right that makes it so much harder. It's tough that you don't have a co-MC with you. Right. That makes it so much harder. Sure. And I think, I don't even really, I mean, I have a little bit of a vision from TJ, but I told him I'm going to call him this afternoon. I'm like, we got to talk about, you got to give me a little more of what's going on here. Yeah.

Just because he's paying me money to go down there or go up there. I'm like, I want to do a good job for you too. I feel that pressure. Yeah. It'd be one thing if it's like, I'm in Kansas city. You want to come hang out at this event? I'll give you a hundred bucks. I'll show up the night of figure it out. Yeah. I only make $5,000 a year according to my credit card. So it would be like when I've emceed things before they've been like talent shows or actually just learned this last night. Someone told me that their friend of theirs, they're like, yeah, do you know so-and-so from SBU? I was like, yeah, I do.

She said that she visited SBU when she was a high school senior, and she came there because of you. And like the, whatever, me and Anderson did like this whole thing. Anyway, when we emceed stuff, it was always in between other talent show acts. It's lighthearted. It's fun. You can poke fun of them a little bit.

But you're like in between like marital advice. All right. Give it up for Jeremy. And maybe I'm putting way too much pressure on myself. Maybe it just needs to go out there and transition from one thing to the next, but I'm like, I want to at least earn a little bit of my money here. That's right. Knowing you're being paid, knowing there is expectation.

If nothing else, from TJ and Brooke to do a good job. Yeah. Never even met Brooke in real life. Oh, really? No. Never even met Brooke in real life. Oh, really? No. Never even really talked to her in fake life. But you respect her. Do I ever.

Putting up with TJ every day. Maybe that's my joke. It's just like complaining, like doing like the most stereotypical, like, oh boy, I bet he never puts his clothes back in the laundry hamper, does he, Brooke? Oh, Brooke, Brooke, Brooke. Hey, should the rest of the conference just be, should we just worship Brooke for what she has to put up with? Let's give it up for Brooke. TJ's in charge of this thing? He's not even in charge of his own house.

They're like, wait, I think he should, you know, whatever. Yeah. Rule it. I don't care. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts

and white meat too Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet cause this is

What did I say? It sounds like you put an R. Air-presodes? Love everything you do in the new air-presodes. Air-presodes? Air-presodes. I personally, I think it's because I knew the word personally was coming. Maybe.

Air-presodes. I personally am a Washington Commanders fan, but it feels like I know everything about the Chiefs now, thanks to you guys. These are all my Chiefs cards and one Austin Eckler. He gave us football playing cards. Austin Eckler's a good card. My mom says I'm a sheltered kid like Jake, whatever that means. Anyway,

hope you guys have a great week. Love Sawyer. Love Sawyer. Sawyer, what cards we got here? All right, we got looks like Justin Ross. Hey, could be worth something that no sorry you you you biffed on that one sorry that was the dumbest thing you could have done no offense sawyer but that was stupid uh jamal charles pretty fun no way jamal charles one of my favorite chiefs nick bolton hey i'm getting a phone call it right now let's talk to

him nick bolton what do you think about Nick Bolton? Hey, this is Jake. Yeah, can you tell me how much you're giving for cans? Cans right now, we're doing a deal, four for $5. For like to recycle aluminum cans? Oh, those kind of cans. Sorry, I run a small soup kitchen as well. To recycle aluminum cans, yeah, they're just five cents a pop. Okay, and how late are you open today? Seven, it's Thursday.

Yeah. Okay, four o'clock. Okay, thank you. Got all night. See ya. All right, thank you. What in the world? I don't know what that was.

When you started saying seven, I was like, don't't say seven what if they're not open that late well that's what then i thought oh it's thursday she's gonna go in there with you know 40 cans expecting to get two bucks they give her back 17 cents hey hey we we got it down to five cents um yeah that was interesting how much are you doing cans for i did not expect that. I thought four for $5 seemed like a good deal. She knew that was too good to be true. That seems like a great deal. Four cans.

All right, it's a soup kitchen. Anyway, that was wild. Back to the playing cards. Juju Smith-Schuster, dead to me. Now on the Patriots. USC. Travis Kelsey. What?

This one looks different. It says rookies and stars at the bottom I'm going to put him in the category of stars Austin Eckler card that's fun yeah shout out

Chiefs huddle up just them huddling no way can't have ever seen that before how are they huddling? and then look at this in a protective case

Patrick Mahomes are you kidding? Sawyer wow Sawyer that is that's pretty sweet he even protected it that's pretty cool sorry you're gonna grow up just fine so you're too nice man that's awesome can i give a few of these to

bow yeah not the not like the travis kelsey yeah right maybe juju give him the juju when we went to the royals game we got cards there like you can go in get their old plaque that says my first royals game and then they give you a few cards. And I mean, they didn't even have Royals cards. We were playing the A's, which is the other awful team in the MLB. They're by far the two worst teams. And they just gave him two random cards of relief pitchers, and he thinks they're the two greatest cards ever.

So we could give him any card, and he would think it was amazing. That's awesome. Yeah. That's really fun. And then I hooked my friends TJ and Tia up with tickets for the Nashville show. And they got me this. When you open up the card, a little thing from Sandals slips out. I was like, what in the world did they give me?

It looks like it's just a little brochure, like coupon thing. But they were just really nice. They said, we're going to give you a Sandals Resort package. But then we found out DoorDash was a better value. So they got me something for DoorDash. T and TJ. TJ, Tia. They brought their three-month-old to the show. Nice. To the Ryman. Yeah.

It was wild. No pews, or no seats. Just put them right there. Yeah, he's just swaddled. Dude, that's kind of the best time if you are going to have to take your baby somewhere. Like newborns is okay because they are pretty predictable. Yeah, they're going to sleep pretty well. Most of the time, if you are going to have to take your baby somewhere, like newborns is okay because they are pretty predictable. Yeah, they're going to sleep pretty well most of the time.

Not always, but on planes and stuff, like if you see a real fresh baby, no problem. You see a two-year-old, you're like, get me away from that thing. Like two-year-olds is like old enough where they are mobile and so they want to like go do stuff. And it's like, no, you got to sit down. You got to sit here for two hours, three hours.

Isaac. I don't remember the whole story, but he boarded a plane this past weekend, got in the window seat, first one in the aisle. And then a like two year old, three year old, whatever came in,

like sat by him. Cause I think he wanted to like play with Isaac or whatever. And so he was like, they played for a little bit. And then Isaac was kind of starting to fall asleep. And I think the kid was like really bummed that he couldn't play with isaac oh really yeah because isaac is so sweet to kids yeah like one of the sweetest ever but that's fun look at all these chiefs cards i miss i miss collecting cards yeah it's kind of fun it's it was so fun

should make some i was more of a basketball baseball cards guy guy. Oh, yeah, definitely baseball. Yeah. I like basketball a lot too, though, dude. I have my Kobe rookie cards. That's great. I've been watching the – there's a Lakers documentary on Hulu. Have you seen this? Oh, yeah.

There's like a reenactment kind of thing on HBO. I don't have any interest in that, but the documentary is awesome. It's not Last Dance-esque, but it's close. I haven't seen it. Really enjoy it. Recommend it out there. Language Last Dance-esque, but it's close. I haven't seen it. Really enjoy it. Recommend it out there. Language for the young kids, but really fun. We should make playing cards of ourselves.

Throw them in the Grande Boo swag bags. I was about to say. That'd be so fun. You were about to say it, Tymon. I was. No more Ness or Nice kind of timing. Say it out loud next time. You're just rude to Tymon all the time.

I didn't want to interrupt. Yeah, no offense, but I don't know. That's a good idea, Timon. Take some pictures after this. I was going to say, hung out with the Millers from Florida this past weekend, and they're just the nicest people. Came to the show. I didn't even know they were coming to the show.

Well, yeah, I mean, he even texted me. I didn't have his number. Maybe you guys saw that, but then I was like, oh, I would have hooked you guys up with tickets. I didn't know. And then we went out to dinner afterwards they're driving Isaac all around we got our golf clubs in their car because the bus is leaving then they finally drop us all the way back off at our hotel I left my backpack in there dingus have to call him again there's the nicest people paid for our dinner the millers they went to Florida with this Dr. Ben is the one with the poop story that the infamous poop story all of it with two hands. Yeah. Yeah, just the man. They're great. They got

recognized by ghosties in the lobby, which I'm not sure how exactly, but impressive. That is impressive. Because you've seen, what, five pictures of them ever, maybe on Facebook groups or on Florida stuff. Yeah. Maybe they recognize them from the jean shorts video where Dr. Ben was the DJ. Oh.

The sheltered kid. Is it her again? Yeah. Yeah, you don't want to mess with it too much. Yeah, that's enough. That's enough. She is calling again, though. How does she get your number? How do people dial the wrong number these days? You Google hey, Springfield, Missouri recycling

plant, and then you just click the number and it calls it for you. Yeah. Unless my number is on. I would have been getting way more phone calls. Right. This is the first time you've ever had. Yeah, man. It's like, uh, it's not the same thing, but like, what if, what if your number people thought your number was expired? So they just

gave it to somebody else. Kind of like Vasily at the top call thing. Scott's like, I've had this, I've had this card forever. Now they gave it to Vasily. Vasily. Um, anyway, let's see. It's Wednesday. You got to win in the week see it's Wednesday you got a win of the week it's Wednesday Wednesday on a Wednesday I love

sorry sorry for interrupt I love that the ghosties have started to wins of the week on the Facebook on their own yeah so fun it's it's one of my like dopamine hits is like going and like reading all their kind things that they have to say about themselves and it is pretty

cool to read through them so good good job. Ghosties. Good job. Ghosties. Nice. We appreciate that. I'll say my win of the week was, uh, probably late last week, Scott and Isaac came over to the house because they just really wanted to see me edit a video. Yeah. And it was so funny. I feel like I, at no point was I like, all right, I'm going to try to do something cool to like impress them, or I'm going to try to go faster. I feel like I, at no point was I like, all right, I'm going to try to do something cool to impress them, or I'm going to try to go faster. I was just like, just trying to get this video edited while they watched, and they gassed me up like none other. They were like, oh, the fingers are flying.

Oh, he's flying right now. Oh my gosh, we even know you're pressing. I was like, because I did this for five years. You're going to learn some keyboard shortcuts. So yeah, them hyping me up, gassing me up while i was editing it was kind of fun it was a reminder like hey i'm good at this i don't even really do it that much anymore but oh yeah i have all these skills muscle memories are still there yeah no problem what kind of uh what are some of your favorite keyboard shortcuts little things like what were they really impressed by i'm trying to think i I mean, let's see.

Is it the R? I feel like I got to be in the zone now. Now I almost don't know. It's like I got to be there. I think it's the N key. That does some pretty cool stuff. Which is? It's like, I don't even know how to explain it.

It could take, it does some pretty cool stuff. That's when you know you're good is you're like, I don't know. I just do it. It does some complex stuff. It's hard to explain, but whatever. That was one of the week. Just this very mundane thing for me. It reinvigorated like, yeah, I am talented in this. This is fun.

What video were you editing? This was a Friday Pickleball video. As a listener, are you following Friday Pickleball? The ghosties are so nice. You guys all comment and yeah, just so great. Which by the way, you have a phone call at 2 p.m. today. Yeah. I scheduled a phone call for myself at 2 p.m. today. Paddle company already reached out. Good. Very early on. Who we got? Well, nevermind. Hey, we'll see how the phone call goes. Yeah. Yeah. They're like a top five paddle manufacturer. Probably the best.

We'll see. She's calling again. Do you want me to answer in Spanish or something? Yeah, it's kind of fun. I don't know. I get so uncomfortable with those things. Yeah, poor girl. Chihuahua.

Chihuahua. Anyway, but yeah, we saw a DM late last last night i emailed him at 10 p.m he emailed me back within five minutes it was like yeah man let's for sure chat you free tomorrow i was like two yeah um so that's kind of fun friday pickleball oh we played pickleball after you edited that video and yeah isaac and scott told me oh did they personally like yeah dude it was awesome watching jake yeah so it wasn't even just like them gassing you up. It was like them truly thinking it was cool.

They seemed, I have seen it before as well. And it is fun to watch. Like, whoa, you were just so much faster at that. It'd be fun to watch. I don't know how good time it is,

but like, it'd be fun to watch like you and Derek, you know, okay. You each get, you know, this raw footage. It's,

it's 10 minutes worth of raw footage. You have 15 minutes at a video. Oh, put me up against anybody in the world. You have 15 minutes to edit a video. Oh, put me up against anybody in the world. That would be, I would. I bet I could. Oh, yeah. That'd be fun to watch. I just think decisiveness is the key to editing quickly.

And I think. Yeah, good. I think I'm the best. Okay. I'll just say it. I love it. Oh, I would love to be in a competition like that. Yeah?

Yeah. Anyway, what's your win of the week? My win of the week is kind of a win, kind of a not win. So let me tell you, um, I was making coffee the other day, main street roasters, which we can talk about them. We're gonna talk about them right now. In a bit, our main street roasters, uh, one of the week is I was making coffee from, uh, from main street roasters and I pulled out the, whatever the thing that you put the coffee in the canister you put the coffee in and I biffed it I I hit something on my refrigerator and so the coffee grounds like

spilled behind my refrigerator like in between like where our coffee maker is in the refrigerator so I had to like pull out the cart for them the coffee pull out the refrigerator vacuum it all up honestly kind of proud of myself just for doing that for you like I I went I went pretty thorough went pretty thorough on cleaning it, which two years ago, Brad would not have. Okay. But then it's one of those things where I just keep having the reminder of like, Hey, if it's not me, then it's Catherine. And if it's not Catherine, then it's nobody. Yeah. And then the grounds was going to be here forever. So was doing it all was vacuuming it up, sweeping it up. And as I pull back the refrigerator, Jacob, what's back there? A bag of dark chocolate covered acai berries from Brookside. And I thought to myself, there's a Devo in here somewhere, but there's something in here. Like this is what happens

when you do the right thing and you're back here. And first of all, there's only like seven berries left in this bag, which what kind of psychopath puts a bag back with seven dark chocolate? I mean, it's Catherine, of course, I would never leave just that many. Um, second of all, they were definitely too old to eat seven berries. I mean, that's almost like weightless. I mean, is that even exactly? It was like, it was like, I think there's something in here and you feel around. Oh yeah. But way too crumbly. And so it's a win of the week because it was like, this is the most amazing thing. Like, and I did the right thing, but loss of the week. Cause I didn't actually eat the berries. Well, that's still part of the Devo. I think is maybe, you

know, you know, they're going to go up and down. Prosperity gospel is going to tell you, Hey, if you, if you give enough money, if you do all the right things, you're going to be blessed. And for a while, it might look like you are going to be blessed. But guess what? Those have been back there for months. I consider it pure joy when those things were crumbly because that was trials. Dude, somebody hire us. Impromptu divos. I would love it. Yeah, give us a word.

Yeah, give us a word and we'll go for it. Anyway, that's my win of the week. And who was that brought to us by? That was brought to us by Main Street Roasters, baby. The original, the OG. This is actually, well to us by? That was brought to us by Main Street Roasters, baby. Wow. Still here. The original, the OG. This is actually, well... I think that's kind of unique.

Sure. Pull back the curtain. This is our last official ad with them on this contract. They were the first company to really believe in us long term. Yes. So it's pretty cool. They committed to six months worth of advertisements and we're hoping they commit to more, but we don't know. And if they

don't, that's okay because we're so appreciative of them and their support of us, not only through financially supporting the podcast, but also they sent us so much for the Florida trip. They've sent us samples that we've gotten to enjoy and experience at our own homes. Yeah. Just kind of made the house, the home, as far as the triplet house goes, you made the home smell good too. My gosh, does it made the house the home as far as the triplet house goes. Made the home smell good too. My gosh, does it ever. Made the home buzz. I was making some just before I came over here.

Hattie and Bo, Bo goes, what is that? And I go, smell it. See what it smells like. He smells it. That's coffee. I say, yeah, buddy. And so even if your kids aren't drinking coffee yet, which no judgment if they're not. I don't know when I started.

It's probably two, but maybe people are late bloomers out there. But even just the kids love and smell on that thing. And they will know what it is when they smell it. And they'll know it's Main Street Roasters by their love. Main Street Roasters says, we believe that with each cup of coffee we serve,

This place will not break us. The phenomenon returns to Paramount+. The only way we go home is together. From new season now streaming exclusively on Paramount+. While I was in the middle of performing a joke this past weekend about the Titanic, I realized,

oh, that's pretty topical right now. Didn't have anything prepared for that, so I just kind of started riffing about the submarine. I was like, what am I doing? What am I? I didn't plan any of this. How'd it go? It went okay. Yeah. I think it's, yeah, I think it went fine. I think if I had prepared, it would have gone better. Right. But that was kind of a funny thing. Wait, so you already have Titanic in the... I have a joke about the Titanic and it didn't even cross my mind that, oh, this is like in the news so much right now. And so, yeah, I have this huge punchline that's about the Titanic.

And as they're laughing, I'm like, oh my gosh, oh my God, I should say something. I should have planned something. And then I just make something like, oh, better in a submarine. And then they like kind of laugh. I'm like, ah, it could have been better. Just say the word.

Yeah. Submarine. Billionaire submarine. You've seen the news. Oh man. That was kind of a fun thing I wrote down. I told you about that. Like for whatever reason,

my algorithm thought I really wanted to know everything about that. Like I didn't look it up or like have any kind of knowledge of it. And all of a sudden, like, you know, 40% of my videos that they were suggesting for me were either jokes or like information about this thing. I'm like,

what, what, what about me? I mean, they were right to be fair. I, I. I'm like, what, what, what about me? I mean, they were right to be fair. I, I watched them all like, uh, but I was not expecting to care about this submersible thing in the water. Um, but now you're educated. What were you saying about the submarine time? Oh, I might miss. Yeah. Oh, okay. Sorry. Timmon did a paper on the submarine last year. That's right. The submersible.

Yeah. He actually wrote them to see if his family could get a free trip down. Yeah. And they said, no offense, but you would not all fit. Your braces would weigh it down. Yeah, that's right. It's magnetic and your braces would get in the way. Risky.

One last thing I wrote down from the past weekend was I really started branching out with my walkout music. I did Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy in Nashville, which was really fun. I did Lips of an Angel in Charlotte.

I did Get Low in Atlanta. Each of them felt amazing in their own way. I think I did lips of an angel in Charlotte. And then what? Oh, I did get low in Atlanta. Okay. And each of them felt amazing in their own way. I think I'm going to not like continue to make that a joke. Fun. Yeah. Just like, and,

and people that know that it's a joke, like know that it's like, this is a city centric song. Yeah. It's either about the city or even just, just give me suggestions for walkout music. So it doesn't really matter. Uh,

with get low, did he wait to start playing it until he announced you, or was it like the song started? That's just low. I'm saying Get Low. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Yeah.

So, okay. Did it go? Ladies and gentlemen, or was it like, ladies and gentlemen, Jake Triplett. Yeah. It was like that. Okay. I like, I think you should talk to the DJ about doing a little bit of a, yeah. Let the music flow for just a second.

That's kind of fun. Because then he could, right when it's like right before the drop, he goes, you know, he gets Jake Triplett. That's pretty fun. You should be the DJ. I would love it. I would be a great DJ. I think you would he gives it up for that's pretty fun you should be the dj i would love i would be a great dj i think you would i would really enjoy that we had michael for a long time he's the dude perfect now then we had a guy named travis he's not with us this next weekend so now we got a new guy we'll see how camera does okay let me coach him up a little bit yeah dude

i'm getting excited just thinking about like i i really thought it was low in my head and so it's like you know that's fun ladies and gentlemen give it up for jake triplet and then he had them apple bottom you're like oh my gosh i'll get so fucked yeah that's so fun man yeah i should be thinking about this more than i do that's a pretty fun opportunity because even like lips i don't know how lips of an angel starts but did it did they start at the beginning of the song we started it at the chorus this more than I do. That's a pretty fun opportunity. Because even like Lips of... I don't know how Lips of an Angel starts, but did they start at the beginning of the song? We started it at the chorus.

Your voice saying your name, it sounds so sweet. I like the idea of picking a song that the audience naturally sings along to. Yeah, just like Don't Stop Believin'. Oh, we love this song. In the first three minutes your set literally just you like orchestrating a sing-along to don't

stop believing that'd be fun it's fun times fun times fun times anyway great weekend should we do some voice memos please let's do them i think that sounds fun go volume here yeah it's been a been a minute yo this is crazy dude i'm listening to the episode on the 27th of of june and that's the second fake uh review i've heard or at least caught from under my uh under my name so identity theft isn't a joke you guys gotta crack down on this man um yeah i feel obligated now to ask a question so i just plugged something into chat gpt um if you were what does this say if you were to swap wives with an inanimate object for a day what would it be and why i'm sorry guys that's funny one that people are leaving reviews uh using his name and it's not even him that's

amazing that's hilarious too it's funny like you can tell some people like take these voice modes so seriously that they leave us like it's like i think they type this out they're reading it or maybe they've done it this is like their third time yeah yeah and you can tell he's just like i'm typing this out while all right what does it saying? Sorry, guys. Oh, sorry, that sucked. And he just ends it. He doesn't really do it. Okay, if you could switch lives with an inanimate object. Inanimate. First thought, basketball.

Really? I was going to say like 50-yard line. No, Jumbotron of a Chiefs game. I would switch with that so I can goalpost. Final answer, goalpost on Sunday of a Chiefs game. Okay. It'd be fun. Yeah.

Do they feel pain? Like it wouldn't be fun if a basketball was getting thrown around. You're just getting bounced. But how fun would it be? Yeah, if you're used to being a basketball, you have like the, you know, or a football even. Like how fun would it be just flying up in the air or even in warmups? Hey Patrick,

just throw me. Yeah. Um, yeah. Jumbotron though. You're just, yeah. Maybe,

maybe a field, a goalpost where you're right there. Yeah. You're kind of in the action still be, you'll see it. You're not moving. Andy Reed's hat. Andy Reed's hat.

Yeah. That's pretty fun. Cause yeah, you can hear. And then, yeah, yeah. You know exactly what my homes is saying,

what Reed's saying. Or the headset that Patrick Mahomes has. Headsets are good. Because, like, the headset's in his helmet, so even if you're, like, not on his head, you could hear everything Patrick Mahomes is saying because he's got to be around his helmet all the time. We're not done. We're not done.

We're not done. I'm like that. I'm him. Kels, do it, Kaus. I might choose like a tree at a park. No, you won't. I think you can see a lot of fun things. A tree at a park over my homes?

Okay. Tree at a park's sweet. Something's got to be second on the depth chart. And tree at the park is second. Maybe like Mars or something. No, go way further out than that. Ooh, airplane. I was thinking airplane.

I feel like you wouldn't see that much for most of the time. You're just up in the clouds. You can't see anything. Blue Angels airplane. Now we're talking. Fighter jet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Top gun airplane. Or just be a bullet. Bullet. Ooh, bullet would be a quick day, but a crazy day. Yeah, firework. Nah, I don't know. it'd be a quick day but yeah firework nah i don't know that'd be fun

timing what's coming to mind what do you want to be i was thinking airplay just anything that's like up in the sky like stupid answer i thought lame lame i couldn't think lame i just already said so i couldn't think of what what they're called like the things that they throw at the Olympics. Javelin? Not a javelin. Ball. Yeah.

Okay, no. One of those like- Shot put. Yeah, shot put. That's what I'm doing. Discus? Something, I don't know. Something that, you know, goes fast. What about like a Hubble scope?

Like way up? Oh, yeah, I see. Like a satellite. Yeah. Yeah. Sputnik. Sputnik. Sputnik. What else?

Inanimate. Inanimate. Inanimate. Inanimate. Yeah, I think it'd be fun to be like a helicopter. What about like a Times Square sign? Just kind of see all the hubbub. Yeah, but you could do that now.

Right? Yeah, I see what you're saying. Like, let's get a POV that you cannot get. Like when you said Jumbotron, I was like, you could sit right by the Jumbotron. Yeah, yeah. It's not even the very expensive seat. But Andy Reid's hat, you cannot get that good of a seat. Okay, okay, okay. The wind.

How far could I get in a day? Inanimate object. Is that an inanimate object? I don't know. I'll accept it. It's fun to think about how far you could get as the wind. Like one particle of just like, just a nitrogen molecule. How far does it travel in a day? Miles?

Dude. Hundreds of miles? I don't know. This is not in the same vein exactly, but yesterday we stopped to get gas in Oklahoma and there was a fly that got caught in our van, and we rolled it down the windows. Once we got to Kansas City and it flew out, and Calvin's like, I feel bad for that fly. He just moved. Yeah, we just take him away from his family. I was like, are you kidding?

I think about stuff like that. Do you? I don't know if I feel bad, but I definitely think about it. It's like, what a day for that fly. Only we go so far. Got to find a new home. Yeah, I would say that probably. Okay, what a day for that fly. You've got so far. Gotta find a new home. Yeah, I would say that, probably. Maybe a guitar.

It'd be kind of fun to feel getting strummed. Bo these days is starting to play air guitar a lot. Oh, that's fun. This next review says it's coming, sorry, voice memo says it's coming from Stonebridge Community Church. Okay. Fun username. Let's look where they're from. What's up, Stonebridge Community Church. Okay. Fun username.

Let's look where they're from. What's up, Jake and Brad and Tymon? Hope you guys are doing well. I've got a predicament, a little frustration of mine. I don't know if you guys have the Google app or not, but there's a new feature where you can hum or sing a song, whatever you're thinking of, and it'll tell you with a percentage of confidence, zero to 100, how confident the app is in its guess about what

you're singing so a couple times recently i've had a song in my head and i just couldn't remember the title of it so i'd start humming it and it would tell me i'm like 10 or 15 accurate in my in its return like i'm pretty sure i nailed that i'm pretty sure i did an excellent job and it's only killing me 10 it's a little bit of a blow to my confidence. That's all right. I thought maybe you could make a good game for you guys. You know, you could play some sort of game where you hum a melody and see if you can get the higher score on the little Google app.

But that's my spiel. You guys have a good one. I'll talk to you later. Talk to you later. Thanks for the spiel. That's a great idea. We've done that before. Yeah, I was going to say, I think it sounds familiar.

I feel like back in Peter's Basement, we did that. Yeah. And you beat me almost every time. Weird. Yeah, I tried to use that on Google recently. And maybe there's a difference between a hum and whatever I was doing. Maybe I wasn't humming. Maybe I was singing noises.

I don't know. But it was like, I said, hey, Google, what song is I said, Google, Hey Google, what song is this? Or okay, Google, what song is this? And it would just Google that. Okay, Google,

what song is this? So I don't know. You want to try it again? Okay, let's try to redeem myself on lips of an angel. See if we can get that. Okay. Do you know that song timing?

Well, I mean, you guys can all do whichever song you want. Okay. Okay. Lips of an Angel 70% match. That's how it's done. That's how it's done.

Man, I suck at singing. Man, I wish I was better. That was the... Sound so sweet. 70% though. That's pretty good. Beat it, Oscar. All right. Can I use...

Well, I'll try it on mine. So you didn't even say what song is this. No, no. Just write on the Google app. It says identify song. I must not have the right Google app. Do you think there's multiple? I think I probably didn't update it.

I don't even really know Lips of an Angel, but I could just try doing what you just did and see what happens. I'm just going to see what happens. Oh, there it is. Identify song. Timon's going. I don't know what comes after that.

It still sounded way better than mine. That did sound nice. He had a little... Okay, Lips of an Angel, 39% match. Yeah, get on my level, Tymon. Get on my level, Tymon. I'm the best hummer in this room. Oh, wow.

I got it. I'm going to do Surfing USA by the Beatles. It's not. Identify song. What? Oh, here we go.

Frick this thing. What'd it say? What'd it say? 58% rap. Oh! The best hummer. Also, put it on me, Ja Rule, 22% rap. Okay, Ja Rule, Firefest. All right, everyone gets one more go around.

I'm going to do one, and you guys also see if you can identify this song. Cool. Okay. Don't laugh before i start that's gonna be 95 That was perfect. Dang. 15%. No way! I lost it. More of a lips to an angel. I also did a song where it's just the same

note over and over, I realized, once I started humming. Oh, yeah. It's just the same. That's kind of how serving... All right, let me try that one. Nah, frig it. I don't want to do that one. I chose a bad one.

I'm going to do the verse of that, which is even sillier sounding when you hum it, I bet. 17 freaking percent. I, as you start doing it, I really thought I was like, maybe it's just the amount of time you give it. It ups the match. 17 freaking percent. I hate this. Whoa! As you started doing it, I really thought, I was like, maybe it's just the amount of time you give it,

it ups the match. And that sounded great, and you only got 17%. It's gotta be the song. Gotta be the song. That's so funny. All right, Tommy, you wanna try one? Sure. Oh, here we go.

Here we go. 30% mad? Oh! No one can beat 70, Lips of an Angel. Doesn't even say it's by Elvis. I'm beating 70. We're not done with this yet. Casey Musgraves version or what? I don't know.

What if we sing it? Yeah. Maybe it's not. Maybe it's not humming. Try beating 70%. Go for it. Just a small town girl living in a lonely world.

I don't know what song. Took the midnight train going. What'd you get? 70. 76. Oh. Okay. All right, let me try to hum the same thing so let me try to hum the same thing let me try it's so hard humming is hard thank you oh read it read it read it 96 nice that's so interesting i don't know what is it determining i don't know but i feel good all right timing try to get higher than 96% on that song. Because I think clearly it likes that song.

Okay, here we go. That was so bad. His face is going to... Oh, man. Okay, let's try that again. Okay. Humming is hard. I know.

It is definitely hard. Maybe for you guys. Here we go. Maybe for losers. know it is definitely hard maybe for you guys here we go maybe losers oh 87 oh that's not awful oh that was not all right jake your turn oh that was it's the song yeah i don't even i almost just did it without the phone. I was like, all right, here we go. People are loving this.

81%. That was nice. You're still like better at humming. You had one note that was off and all the rest of them sounded great. Once you do one wrong, 81%. That was nice. You're still better at humming. You had one note that was off, and all the rest of them sounded great. Once you do one wrong, you're like, oh, man. I was aware of that. I heard that. I got better as I went.

That was good. Okay, so that's the song to beat, guys. Wow, 96%. Thank you, Stonebridge Community Church. I looked it up. There's a lot of them, so I don't know. Maybe it's from O'Fallon, Missouri. Is that the one you're from?

That's like... Outside of St. Louis? Yeah. Outside though. All right. Next one. Erin with an E. So I used to think that Jake and I would have made the perfect couple.

And after hearing about so much about Rachel, just listen to how wild this is. So I am also like fair-skinned blonde from the Midwest. I was also a setter and played volleyball my entire life. And I also went to graduate school for counseling psychology. And I'm now not only am I a licensed therapist, but I'm now the executive director of the entire practice. Dang! And I nannied during grad school. So I think what I realized is, no, I wasn't meant for Jake, but maybe I was just meant to be Rachel's best friend. Because we're basically the same person.

So, Rachel, hit basically the same person. So, uh, Rachel, hit up your girl. How? No, no connect. No,

we know her name is Aaron. How is she going to get to her? Hit up your girl. Well, it sounds like it's Rachel's girl. So maybe she already knows. That's true. Yeah.

Oh, the girl that she's naming for. Yeah. Hit up your girl. Okay. Okay. I'll see you tomorrow morning. That's true. Yeah. Oh, the girl that she's nannying for? Yeah. Get up your girl. Okay. Okay. I'll see you tomorrow morning. That is a lot of coincidences. There are a lot of similarities. When you started off with just physical characteristics, I didn't really believe in you, but you came around. We're both blonde. I did find a husband and he also does stand-up comedy. He opens up for Trey Kennedy. He is also strawberry blonde. I've seen some Ticketmaster reviews about his hair color.

They are blonde. People do not love him on Ticketmaster, but he is beloved everywhere else on social media. Well, Aaron, come to Grande Boo, I guess. I don't know how to get in touch with you. That's great. From now on, we're not answering any messages Come to Grande Boo, I guess. I don't know how to get in touch with you. That's great. Yeah. From now on, we're not answering any messages unless you come to Grande Boo and then we'll talk to you.

Is that what you're saying? That's the only way to talk to me. Yeah. I just looked her up on the Facebook group and she's not in the Facebook group. So, Aaron, how in the world are we supposed to get in touch with you? Well, holler at your girl. No, hit up your girl. Hit up.

Hit up your girl. No. Well, I'm not hitting her. Hitting up. Yes. Hey, Rachel, FYI. Aaron wants you to hang out with her. I'm in town this weekend.

Yeah, I have something to say about that. Real quick. Can you hit me up? Real quick, Aaron Stevens. Yeah. All right. Next one from Christopher. Bonjour, Jake and Brad. Hello, my name is Christopher. I'm calling to you from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

I have been absolutely loving your podcast for the last several months. I grew up in Belgium overseas because my parents are missionaries over there. Missionaries. But originally from Louisiana. And so I do speak French fluently. And as I've been listening to all the episodes, I got to 99, where you talk about Les Caïmans, Les Seigneurs des Rivières. And it was so fun for me to hear you talking in the French accent

and hearing French on the podcast. It really just made my day. And so I wanted to call and tell you about that. Also, just a quick fun fact, the quote from the video, Les Seigneurs des Rivières, actually means the lords of the river, les caïmans, the alligators.

Les caïmans. Just thought that was a fun little tidbit for y'all. Quick question. If you had to speak two languages and it's not English or Spanish, which two would you pick and why? Love the pod, guys. Hope to see y'all soon.

Peace. See you in Grandibou. Yeah, see you at the Grand Bouche and we can talk then. Allez. Allez la Christopher. That means let's go, Christopher. Allez la Christopher. I think that's what it means. French is wild. I mean, just the way it sounds. How do you distinguish words from the other one?

I kind of get it. I kind of understand it. I kind of understand it. Would it be your choices? No. Wait, what was it? If you could speak any other two languages? Yeah. Besides English and Spanish. Besides English.

Oh, okay. Um, I mean, Chinese has got to be number one for me. Really? No. Oh, I don't know. Why? Why is that so obvious? Oh, just because like there's so many people speak Chinese.

Okay. So you, I'm assuming I can also speak English and Spanish. Is that? Hope so. On the table? yeah sure it gets added on because then you can speak to so much of the world that's true

what do you speak in India? Chinese yeah Mandarin Chinese you say it so confidently no Chinese Bo is so confident when he's wrong it's amazing I want your confidence, son.

Like don't ever lose that. I've been there before. Yeah. Nobel peace prize. Wait, you think Nobel peace prize just for pieces? Yeah, I did. Yeah. So Chinese.

And I think I also want one that's like super, super, like we don't even know the name of it. It's like one of those like hidden villages where, you know, like uncontacted tribe. Yeah. Wycliffe goes and translates the Bible for those people. It'd be awesome to be able to translate the Bible for somebody. And it'd be awesome to be like, I'm one of you. Like I, no one else, like how, how did I learn this? Like everyone's going to be so like enthralled by it. I'm going to call you the risotto stone of humans. And I'm going to be probably the only white guy there. And so there's going to be, you know, questions about that. They're going to make probably the only white guy there. And so there's going to be questions about that.

They're going to make up a new name for you. Missionary. Gringo. Yeah, gringo. Those are really good answers. I don't know if I can beat that. Try. What I did do was type in a chat, GBT,

what are some fun French phrases to say for a guy who only speaks English? Okay. Do you want to know what it... Try to translate this. I will. From you. Oh, it's... Say it again. I will. From you. Où est le toilette? Say it again.

I don't even know how to read French, so I'm just trying to... Où est le toilette? I am the toilet? Where is the bathroom? Où est le toilette? Okay. What's that first word? Spell it.

O-U. O-U. Okay. With a little dash over the U I don't know how to read this you'll love this one say it again I know si vous play please Please. Un autre verre de vin, s'il vous plaît. Verdine?

Un autre verre de vin, s'il vous plaît. Verre de vin. Verre de vin? What do you think? Verre de vin means... Emphasis on the vin? A little bit of green wine. Probably white wine. Not bad.

Another glass of wine, please. Okay. Pretty good. A little crossover here. I didn't expect you to take this seriously, but I see now there is some crossover between Spanish and French. I don't expect you to take this seriously, but I see now there is some like crossover between Spanish and French. I don't think I can understand French by any means,

but there's that scene in Home Alone 2, Lost in New York, where he sits next to that guy who's like, oh, what's that? Is that what it is? Anyway, the guy's speaking French to him and I can understand what he's saying a little bit.

I can't remember what it is now, but I'm like, I think I get it. All right, last one. J'adore le fromage. I love le fromage. Oh, cheese. Wow. Give me another one.

Wow. Formage, formagio. I can't believe you're Italian. Formagio. Well, if you know Spanish, you kind of know a little Italian, which is formagio. Let me guess you up, dude. That's crazy.

What we did was we took turns playing a little snippet of a song that had lyrics that were hard to understand and then everyone else would try to guess the words the song so you know those songs that come on the radio and you're singing along and it gets to one part and you just don't know the words so you kind of mumble your way through it but i have a few song ideas for you if you wanted to play this game the first one is a song riptide by vance joy oh yeah about the 34 second mark it's really hard to understand a second one is rocket man

at the 1 minute 13 mark right after he says the word rocket man and i'm out of time oh no uh okay 34 second mark of riptide vance joy yeah yeah lately youtube's been kind of weird uh with my ad blocker like Okay, 34 second mark. Of Riptide, Man's Troy. Yeah, yeah. Lately, YouTube's been kind of weird with my ad blocker. It shows that this is a 15 second video. Oh. Oh, Sandals Resorts, get out of here!

Get out of here! Oh my gosh. Send me feedback. All right, what'd you say, 34 second? Oh no, I'm looking at the lyrics video. All right, I'll just play the game. You guys try to guess what they're saying. Next time, do Spotify.

Okay. Ooh. Didn't even think about that. Oh, the camera says, baby, running down to the real time. All right. So what did he say right there? I'll play it again. Yeah.

Oh, the camera says. Oh. And I have no idea, like, the context of the lyrics, but, like, it sounds like, and they come unstuck. That's what I was going to say, and they came unstuck. And they come unstuck. In my head every time I've ever sung this song, it's, and the camera starts.

And the camera starts. So I go, come unstuck, or came unstuck. Came unstuck. You go, camera go camera starts yeah and then do we sing the next part too baby running I think that was the or I don't know okay either way time I nailed it and they come unstuck come play one more time come unstuck Common stuff. Nice. Good job, Tyron. I did not know. All right. Not 96%, but not bad.

Rocket Man, minute 13. Rocket Man. I'm not going to look at the lyrics. Hold on. I got another freaking sandals ad to get through. Still not using Spotify. This is going to be way quicker. See how quick it is? It was Sandals Resorts.

Get out of here with that. That is annoying. All right. I think it's going to be a long night. All right. Here we go. Good man, burning down the shoes of Paranorm. Burning down the shoes of Paranorm Burning down the shoes of Paramore

Eli, Eli. You should still time in the story on that. Yeah. So our friend Eli, one time we were all getting subs together. And can I get a name for your order? He goes, Eli. And then he tries to spell it, E-L-I. He spelled it way too quickly, though.

My name, Eli, Eli. And this worker there gave him such a hard time even as we're leaving she's like bye eli eli eli eli he's like no eli eli i just spelled it really quickly because there's so many like all those different spellings got to clear it up yeah can i get a name for that uh eli eli eli eli he's like one time they spelled it E-I-G-H-L-Y-E. Like the soap. Goat soap. Eli Eli. This is Isaac's older brother.

Recently engaged. Awesome guy. Love Eli. Hey guys, Eli McDonald here. I don't want to run. That's why i'm a little out of breath but just listening to this past wednesday's episode timing you're the man oh arby's most underrated fast food fries on the market. Love you guys. Bye.

Go run. Very solid point. Gosh, Eli. Arby's Fries. Eli is a character. Just the McDonald boys in general are just such a fun time. Like, you never hang out with the McDonald boys and don't laugh. They don't have, like, a story.

Like, I just want to laugh at Eli right there. He doesn't say anything funny. He's just a funny guy. Lovable. Oh my goodness. I think he'd back to like, yeah, I've spent so much time with him. I mean, we went on vacation together. We went to Arizona, Grand Canyon. Me and Peter and Eli did. Yeah, so if I remember when we first all got into pickleball together, Eli was very much a part of it.

And what was... He refused to move on. Oh, I know what you're going to say. He refused to move on from the wooden paddle. No, that's what I was going to say. Oh, I thought you were going to say well refused to move on from the wooden paddle to, that's what I was going to say. Oh, I thought you were going to say, well, we always quote him now. Cause he's like,

Hey, here's what helped me. So someone, someone was like new to playing pickleball. And there are a few rules that are hard to remember. And, um, Eli was like,

Hey, I'll help him out. And we thought Eli maybe had come up with some cool phrase. Like, here's how I remember it. When, when you serve, stay back.

No, it was alliterative. He was like, uh, yeah. When, when you serve, stay back. No, it was alliterative. He was like, uh, yeah. When you're back, you have to let it bounce. I think is what it was.

Yeah. Maybe that's what it was. So saying when you're back, you let it bounce. It was like, I think that's exactly how we described it to him initially. I don't know if that added any new information, but that's great that that's how you remember it.

Yeah. He's just, yeah. The, the wooden paddle was the first thing. Cause, because I imagined him on that pickleball court, not even the pickleball, on the tennis courts by Chi Mission East, and all the rest of us are like playing with normal paddles, and he just loved that wooden, he would try the other ones, and he'd be like, there's nothing like this. I don't know.

I feel like you give our pop this one. Yeah. And to his credit, did okay with it. Did okay. So. What are you talking about? Oh, yeah. Arby's curly fries you like those fries time i love them yeah they're great they are really good they're so good um best though i don't know there's a lot of good ones out there i mean mcdonald's to me is like the first front runner yeah but then chick-fil-a chick-fil-a just in general man just okay

chick has grown on me a take on chick-fil-a's-fil-a just in general man just okay chick has grown on me a take on chick-fil-a's fries i think that they're incredible but only with like chick-fil-a sauce i think they're kind of bland on the road oh that's a good thought i i might agree with you yeah yeah but they're so good but i mean almost any fry is not that great on its own like you're gonna be salt you're gonna need seasoning arby's oh yeah well they come with salt on them but we're talking like how they come. Like Chick-fil-A's fries, they're kind of bland without anything. Dude, I don't know.

I've been getting some nicely salted Chick-fil-A fries recently. Okay. I'll say that. Could be just me. But I think it's McDonald's for me. Yeah, I think you're right, Tywin. Because yeah, I would not enjoy eating a Chick-fil-A fry on its own. McDonald's fry, yes.

Arby's curly fry, yes. Yeah. But Chick-fil-A needs the sauce. Honestly, permission to be a's curly fry, yes. Yeah. But Chick-fil-A needs the sauce. Honestly, permission to be a little controversial here. Oh. Permission granted. I don't think I would enjoy Chick-fil-A that much without the sauces. Oh, the chicken. When's the last time you had the chicken

raw-dogged? It's actually pretty good. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I'm with you. For a long time, I was like, I don't get the hype behind Chick-fil-A, And then I discovered Chick-fil-A sauce later on Honey Roasted Barbecue. And now I get it. I'm a sauce guy though.

It's so good. Every now and then I'll be running later. I'm getting Chick-fil-A in the car. And so it's like, I'm not going to be dipping while driving. So I'll just eat the sandwich on its own. And I'm still pleasantly surprised at how good that chicken tastes.

Yeah? Yeah. I mean, it's still good, but I would not get the same emotions pulling up to that drive-thru if I knew they said, we have no sauce today. We're sauiceless today. Okay, see ya. Online only.

I'm going to McDonald's. Anyway, I don't have strong, strong takes on any of that. Cane's fries, not great Cane's fries. I like Culver's fries. A lot of people hate on the Culver's fries. Just a crink cut. And they're kind of more potato-y than most. Okay.

They're not quite as crispy. I remember... A little underwhelming, maybe. I don't know. That's fine, Timon. It's fine. What do you think? Zaxby's.

I went there one time, and they loaded up the fries with this amazing seasoning. So I thought that's how the fries always were. And then every time I've gone back since, the fries are not seasoned like that. Bummer. So they messed up one time, and it was awesome. They came. Yeah. Zaxby's came into Kansas city like kind of recently in the next last five

years or so. I was so excited about it and I've never had a great experience there. Oh, it's fine. I love the Zach sauce. Really? Yeah. Yeah. I just had Zaxby's back down in like the South a few times. I'm like, this place is awesome. And raising canes blows out of the water here. In my opinion, I love how much we're talking about food. You can clearly tell we're all pretty hungry. Yeah, it's one p.m. Sounds nice. I haven't eaten anything yet. Yeah, I'm raising canes right now. Oh,

let's like time and just leave it on the wide camera. Go get some chick-fil-a. Yeah, have it back by the time we're done. Canes sounds a nice case. I could should we can't I could twerk with some canes canes. Let's cane it up. Yeah. Cool.

Let's do, uh, let's do zero more. I don't even want to, we'll give QP go soap their money back. Let's, uh, let's talk about QP go soap.

It'll do one more voice memo afterwards. QP go soaps guys. You by now, you hope you know him. You love him. We've gotten more comments recently of like, yes, I got my QP go soaps and I love it. Shout out to Tanya for her comment. I know specifically,

but QP goat soaps stands for QP Quinn Pittman. He is a 16 year old kid who is turning into an adult real quick because he's running a business called QB goat soap. He's making real soap, old school hand poured made from scratch with lye, oils, and essential fragrances and oils as well. Old school means the soap cleans while moisturizing in a way that most commercial bars simply don't. It really is fun. I think I'm on record by saying

I don't really like doing anything like shaving, brushing my teeth, showering. I don't really like maintenance of myself. I can't do it. I can't get things done. But it's like showering recently, There's been a lecture pep myself to shower because I love using the soap. Yeah, dude, I really like how it feels on my body. And then the shampoo is just fun because I'm not used to putting a bar of soap on my head. Right. I just got, God, it's kind of fun. Yeah. Why do you think I didn't shower in Texas? I didn't bring

my QP goat soap with me. Uh, I got home and I did it right away. Um, no, but raw goat milk makes their soap special. Let me send some adjectives your way, guys. Creamy and soft with a rich sudsy lather. Those things are all very accurate. The first time I rubbed one on my, like, got some lather going, I was like, whoa, this is nice. This is different.

Yeah. In a great way. They're great. I use the love spell. Oh, did you? Yeah. Rachel Love Spell. Oh, did you? Yeah. Rachel really likes it. Oh, does she?

I like it myself. Yeah. Love Spell. That's what I use for the body. Yeah. I really like Cedarwood Lime. That's another good one that I'm a big fan of. I can never keep the wood straight.

Sandalwood, cedarwood, but I know I like them. They have mahogany teak wood as well. Yeah, that's in there too. That one's real nice. Both those make you smell very desirable i'll just put it that way i'm just uh anyway try them out they have shampoo bars they have facial wash they have hand wash whatever body wash uh they even have laundry soap it's been a huge success for them it's affordable 90 plus loads uh with the thing loader and it gives you the gentleness of that goat milk on your clothes. Hey, you out there?

Hit up your boy who's Quinn. Yeah. QP Goat Soaps. Goatsoap.com. Goat Soap. QP Goat Soap.com. 10% off GRKC. Go, go, go. Nice. Nailed it, Jake. We've been doing this a minute.

Let's do this one last time Voice memo, not the podcast What's up, my name is Graydon I am a recently converted Ghost Runners fan, I've been listening to the past couple episodes because of my good friend Tymon Speaking of Tymon

Good question for him Tymon, you've had several girls, just over the past couple episodes I've listened to ask you out. And yet, I feel like every time we hang out, you still complain about being single. Tymon, I'm really confused. I feel like, Tymon, this isn't a problem. Anyway, Tymon, I guess my question is why? Dang.

Graydon. What a great Gen Z name, by the way. Graydon. Graydon? Not Braydon. Not Grady. Graydon. Oh, no.

Graydon. Well, Graydon, first of all, disclaimer, I don't complain about being single. Yeah, I don't believe that either. Yeah. But maybe Graydon, maybe I'm waiting for someone who has higher standards than is a teenage boy is homeschooled and is on this podcast without his face yeah yeah yeah voice uh yeah no what's great what's great in his love life let's let's rose graydon real quick i mean he has a girlfriend dang it yeah how i mean scale one to ten she hot though yeah are you attracted to her?

If Graydon passed away unexpectedly, a year from now, would you text her? How quick would it take to comfort her? Where would you kind of like, would you rub her back? Hey, come here. Come here. Let me hug you. Answer it, Tyler.

Hey, T's here. I hope Graydon's hearing this. This is the best. All right, Graydon. What else do we need to know about Graydon? How did you meet this guy? I've done shows with him. It's hard to roast him.

He's a great actor. He's a great friend. Dang it. We'll find something. What was his role in the last Cross and Switchblade? This was like he one of the, it was like he's gotten a bunch of big roles

like back-to-back kind of. He was just more of a like background character. Background character? I know. Oh my gosh. Remember Graydon Vaughn? Embarrassing. Background character?

Man. Talk about backsliding. Yeah. So you say he's on the downhill slope right now. Yeah. He peaked in high school. He hit his peak a long time. He peaked in middle school.

I saw some tweets and everyone was talking about his Graydon fell off. I didn't know who they were talking about. Now you get it. Background character Graydon. Yeah. They gave him a pretty poor Graydon. And guess whose timing it is now. I mean,

I don't see a world where his girlfriend stays with him for another three or four months time. And so that stuff you share with me privately, I think it's going to work out for it. Yeah. Those letters that you wrote and then stepped under your pillow. I would definitely, I'll keep those buddy bad boys.

Yeah. Time. I mean, we bad boys. Yeah, time. I mean, we can do the search. If you guys need us to, we can do a Google form on our ghostrunners.life where you guys are buying the grande boot tickets. If you guys want to do like a, you know, bachelor, most eligible. You get 10 seconds, look me over in the case.

Time into the glass case. Right. Look at him. Don't touch. He's underage. Time and take your time. That's all I'll say about relationships. Be picky. I agree. I'm glad when I see people who have been picky.

Isaac's very picky. Sounds like Tymon's been picky. Yeah, of course, be picky. Set your standards high, but also in high school, even if you find a girl, it's not that big. I think it's kind of pointless to date. You got grade when you're in high school. There's people that are married to their high school students.

You hear that, Graydon? But there's also, I mean, I think it's a great time that you can spend with your friends. And if you have a girlfriend, you might lose that time and then you never get it back. And it's precious time that we all look back on

and we're like, man, I wish I had more of that. And maybe this girl's going to be the greatest thing in your life. Greatest. Greatest. Greatest, but maybe not Graydon. When was the last time you hung out with Graydon without his girl? I mean, it's been recent. Dang it, Tymon.

Come on. Come on. Tymon's too nice. Ladies, you hear that? It sounds like Graydon's a stud. Yeah. He is. Shout out to Graydon.

Good job, guys. All right. You're great. Great guy. All right, let's do our comment of the week and get out of here. Mine's going to come from Abby Kurtz. Just so faithful, so loyal. She's in the comment section of Ghostrunners,

But she says, oh my goodness, guys, this was a fire episode. From the Grande Boo announcement to the Jock jams, to the tune up segment. I enjoyed every minute of it. You guys are awesome. Thank you for making me laugh until I cry. Yeah. Abby Kurtz. Abby, if you're listening to this and you're ever having a hard day,

And yeah, if you're ever having a hard time, just holler at us. We'd love to make it better because you make our days better so often. Come here. All right, I lost mine. Let's see.

Sorry, guys. People were just complimenting the unwritten song, which was fun to me. Let me find it. Oh, UnsightedCreation689 said, I wish I had my own business just so I can hear you guys do an ad read. Hell yeah. Wow, so awesome. Love you guys.

The story about Emily's ring is so funny. So yeah, if you're out there and you want to advertise with us, please holler. Even if you don't have a business, we'll talk about you for 60 seconds. That'd be so fun. Just talk about you? Yeah, just gas up your boy. That's kind of fun.

Yeah, or if you're like a homeschool kid who's editing the podcast and are looking for love and you're saying, hey, I'm willing to put my money down where my mouth is. Best foot forward. Yeah, just so many fun, positive comments coming our way lately. Timon, do you want to do one? I know maybe you don't have one off the top of your head.

Yeah, no, I time. And while you look, I'm going to share a quick tidbit. I just saw something on our YouTube channel, the ghost learners podcast, YouTube channel.

How many views do you think we've had collectively? This is from episode 52 to episode what? Two 42. Oh man. I bet we average two. How so is that? What'd you did you say how many just how many total views have we got on the channel episode 200 episodes or so yeah 400 000 700 000 really pretty fun fun didn't know we were slinging it like that we are doing all right brother

pretty cool that's cool let's see, okay. So there's one from, it's hard with the usernames on YouTube. I can't even like, but someone says, I know everyone says it all the time, but Timon is the best addition to this duo. It's like, oh, that's so sweet. That is so sweet, man.

And then someone else, let's see, the beginning of their comment says, I'm still trying to get caught up on old episodes, but then remember Timon isn't in them. I was like, oh, wow. You're like, something's missing from this thing. Yeah, that's awesome. I hope I can stick around.

Have you guys thought about college for Tymon yet? Because I have. I think about that sometimes. Oh, the time is even? Or are you? Do you think you'll just do this? You think you'll do this for the rest of your life? Probably, yeah. Make $5,000 a year. Never get a credit card. Right, right. Pretty low taxes when you don't make that much

Tymon have you thought about college? yeah in the foreseeable future I'm not planning on getting a degree oh really? we'll see you never know yeah is this like your aspirations?

just video production in general. So yeah. Well, however, however much that scales. Yeah. Yeah, dude.

Timon is very good at what he does. If you guys ever want to hire him for something, please don't. Cause we're trying to do more with them. So how does this viral video go again? You need to try Adobe's new AI software. I filmed this on my iPhone. This is what it sounds like without the iPhone.

And this is what it sounds like once I add the new AI software. That's why you need to try Adobe's new AI software. That's pretty good. That's it. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but it's a great video. It established credibility for me for sure. When I was it than that, but it's a great video. It, it,

it established credibility for me for sure. When I was like, okay, totally. This guy looks legit. This guy knows what he's doing. Let's end. Let's end this episode.

Like, like we've always been in him lately. Freaking YouTube dude. Freaking YouTube. He was going to go. I wonder if Spotify would have worked. Sandals. Freaking.

Ah, something's, it was sandals. Freaking. Something's. It was sandals. Do you have the Spotify? There it is. All that for a cowbell sound. Not worth it. Sorry, guys.
