Hey, Wednesday. What's up, Ghost Runners listeners? Brad, I got to tell you a story about you're out of town. I got a text from Peter Saturday night. I said, hey, Bo Merrill, our friend, he got a tee time with this private golf course. Can you join tomorrow? I said, great, let's do it. He said, David Harris is going to be there. I thought he lived in Austin, Texas. He's like, he just moved back. David Harris is a guy I did Canada Cook programs with for three months. So I mean, we shared every second together for an entire summer and did all the skits together, the parties, everything. So it was really good to see him again.

And he's also got, I don't know if I ever talked about this, but we had an idea. We wanted to create the donut bowl. No. Did I tell you about this? So it's like a pair of bread bowl. Oh. But you find a way to kind of seal the bottom of a donut,

make the hole bigger. Okay. It's just like a big old donut in the inside of the donut. You put cereal and milk in it. It was going to be like a college town late night. Oh, okay. Type. Uh, so you're going to, oh yeah, I see. This is not like a one-off concoction like that you're making in the cafeteria. It's like, no, this is like a product. We want it to be a business. Oh yeah. We were going to be called the donut bowl. And that's what we make too, is donut bowls. And you just, you pick out your donut, you pick out your milk, you pick out your cereal, whatever. I didn't really mean to talk about that. Either way, we were fired up on that. Probably the only regret I have in life ever is not starting the donut bowl. But yeah, so we get

to reconnect with him. And it's funny, I was telling you a little bit on the phone, I think just like Bo is like probably like six or seven years older than us but it's it's enough that there is a divide there like he's i don't even know if he's that much older than it might be even be less i would guess three years older than it feels like it's uh he's an old soul he's like a financial advisor yeah yeah he would like he had his phone connected to the bluetooth speaker in the golf cart every now and then you, you just hear just ads. You know, like the Taco Bell chime would come on. Like, what are we listening to?

He's like, hey. You know, it's like, you remember a country club and you don't pay for Spotify premium? Yeah. There was another time. He's like, oh, you know what that reminds me of? You guys have seen the Geico commercial. What is it? You guys know.

None of us. We're not watching anything with commercials. I guarantee you that. But anyway, the whole day was really fun. After nine holes, we get to the pro shop. What's it called, Brett? Golf? The Turn.

The Turn. Good work for you. The hot dog at the turn. You know, hot dog at the turn. I don't know that. You haven't seen that commercial? St. Andre, dude. Oh, really?

Mm-hmm. He actually was telling me they're going to start a golf podcast soon. And like, I don't know if it's going to be called The Turn or if there's going to be a part of the podcast called The Turn. Okay. We're halfway through,

they eat hot dogs or something. Oh, fun. Yeah. I was like, that's a fun idea. Anyway, we get to this pro shop and it was so fun. You know, I think sometimes I'm apt to complain

about the basicness of people. They ask you the same question. They treat you the same. How's it going? It's going. Mm was the opposite of that, and I loved it. Okay. Like borderline unprofessional, the way they treated us. And it was so fun. Just like, you know, I'm asking for things. You have Powerade Zero. I can go check, but I think you're just going to have to go full sugar. I was like, okay, full sugar. All right, we can do that.

And other guys give me a hard time. It's like, you're going to get a Milky Way and a Powerade Zero. And I was like, that's a good point. Like I'm ordering a Diet Coke and a cigarette, right? You know, we're all laughing. We're joking. And, uh, you know, David is like eating this thing that he thought was free samples, but it was just this girl's pretzel. What? Like, Oh God, where did he get it? So it didn't look like something that would be on the menu. David was like, I thought it was like an experimental, like we're trying this, like, let's see if this works. He thinks it's like a Starbucks like it was like a cinnamon

sugar like pretzel bites. They look at any and saying so it wasn't even sold at the place like she brought it anything. I think maybe I don't like I've never seen a pro shop. I have a cinnamon sugar pretzel and so there was like these free samples right anyway they it was just the whole process was just so weird and you can interesting

and the the climax of it was they're just like yeah just kind of not taking their job seriously and peter orders two hot dogs the girl without hesitation just goes how about two hamburgers and just puts them in front of him and so peter's like okay okay i don't know why the motion of you doing it was so funny to me. How about two hamburgers? And they had hot dogs. David just ordered a hot dog, and they have hot dogs. And for some reason, they were just like, I don't know if they were silly.

Like I said, they were just borderline not doing their jobs well. But Peter orders two hot dogs. How about two hamburgers? And he got them. Peter's like, okay. Yeah, sure. Why not? Load them up.

So it was just fun. We left that place like, dude, what was a weird five minutes? Things you ordered you didn't get. David ordered Snickers. They gave him a Milky Way. It was fun. It was like, you don't decide what you get. I decide what you get.

Yeah, it's like a sorting hat. You're not a hot dog kind of guy. You're a two hamburgers kind of guy. Let's get it. Dang it. Stop. Oh, Missy Tymon. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in white.

Me too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead. Get on your feet because this is the Ghost Rubber's Podcast. Oh man, we're back. It's Wednesday. Good time. How's that bubbler? It's good. We should probably reach out to them. I would love it.

Yeah, you should. I love it. I love it. They're probably a nice middle ground. They're growing. Maybe a little bit of a budget. Not too big for us, though. That's the sweet spot.

The Ghostrunner sweet spot. Ghostrunner sweet spot. Ghostrunner sweet spot. About 40,000 followers on Instagram. Ghostrunner sweet spot. Oh yeah, exactly. Don't have to go through an agency. Yeah.

Doesn't have a social media marketing team. Ghostrunner sweet spot. Oh no, we love our sponsors. Yeah, but it is like, it's like, okay, they got to have enough of a budget here, but not, but not like one that's like, okay, we're better help. And we're going to, yeah, just throw it out to everybody. Yeah. No, not for us.

It's fun. Got personal relationships with everyone we sponsor. It's really cool. Yeah, it's really cool. What do you want to start talking about, Brad? I want to talk about, how about this? What's new?

What's new? Um, I got, I just got home from Pennsylvania. I've already heard that. Dang it. Well, that's what's new is what we talk about on Monday.

What's new for this podcast? What's new for us? Podcast. We're going to do a mediocre life updates. Yeah. You might start with that. Sure. Okay,

great. We haven't done that a long time, but, uh, the OG goes, he's now used to do the segment. There's just like borderline lame, lame life update. So you wouldn't normally talk about on a podcast borderline

like we made a segment out of basically what we talked about on the podcast anyway. Yeah, except these don't have like humor to draw from them. It's just like, hey, straight up. This is something going on. Yeah, I'll go first. I'm one of my you know, sort of pepper back for popcorn. Yep, pepper popcorn. Yep. My first one made over life update know, pepper, popcorn, pepper, popcorn. Yep.

My first one, mediocre life update. Number one, I, my chocos were kind of falling apart and I put some super glue on them and fixed them. And now they're good as new, right? I like it. That's a mediocre life. That's right. I mean, because like, cause it was like, man, I gotta get some new chocos. No way.

I'm a, I'm a woodworker. I'm a fixer. I'm a, I have CA glue. I have accelerator for these, this stuff, dude, it I have CA glue. I have accelerator for this stuff. Dude, CA glue is awesome. Do you know much? I mean, it's just super glue basically, but they have this spray that it's accelerator. And so literally

you put the glue on something and then you put accelerator on the other side and you put them together and it's instantly bonded. Sounds dangerous. Very. That's pretty cool. Yeah. But also awesome. Congrats on owning that. Yeah. So if you need some, let me know. Very. That's pretty cool. Yeah, but also awesome. Congrats on owning that. Yeah.

So if you need some, let me know. Got it in all different colors. Good to know. Yeah, LS Custom Creations. Okay, my mediocre life update. It's going to come with a little quiz with some hints. Where did I go after golfing over in Raymoor? Your hint is, thought they were out of business. Turns out not. Silvers. Let's see. of business. Drugs on Silvers.

Maybe not thought they were for sure out of business, but thought they'd for sure out of business But thought they left town Yeah I was going to say there's a lot of them that just didn't work out in Kansas City Lion's Choice nah you wouldn't go there Man No other hints huh Okay You have chicken there

Yeah I have chicken for every meal Well but sometimes you go fish I thought they were out of business By the way while I'm trying to guess this, how was jumping catfish? Oh, yeah. I don't think we ever talked about that. Yeah.

That could be my next mediocre life update. Okay. Shout out to Bree and Rustin, who you went to jump catfish with. They just had a baby. Just had a baby boy. Baby boy. That boy is going to be good at basketball. And if he's not, he's going to be a disappointment to his family.

Yeah. I went to. No, no, no. Okay. It's not American food. Oh, I thought those people were out of business. Taco John's. Warmer.

Oh. I love Taco John's. They were doing just fine. So Jeff Boyer loves Taco John's. Shout out to Jeff. Is it Mexican though? Yeah. Oh, I love their Taco Bueno.

Warm. Okay. Because it's still Mexican, I guess. Taco Villa? Maybe that's like a KC thing. Does it say taco in the- No, no, no. Oh, Mexican places?

Qdoba. There it is. Oh, really? Still in town. Good for you, Raymore. Yeah. Yeah? Raymore's got adobes.

Went there. That's it. Me and her laptop date. I had Qdoba. I kind of admonished uh chipotle on stage the other day at the marriage conference did you really we were talking about different places they go for lunch and brooke was naming them and i was rating them and like five in a row i just go 7.99 out of 10 uh panera bread 7.9 out of 10 uh chipotle 7.9 out of 10 um and

tj was like really more Not more for Chipotle? I was like, dude, they're going down in my book. Qdoba was a breath of fresh air. Different rice, different queso, different chicken. I hate that. I kind of want Qdoba. Let's go to Raymoor. Not that place in Iowa, though. Giuseppe's or whatever.

Giuseppe's. Portillo's. What is it called? What is it called? Now that I throw those things out there. Portman. Pochero's. Yeah, no thanks. I thought it was great.

6.9 out of 10. All right, your turn. All right, my next one. We went to Topgolf yesterday, Meteor Life Update. I didn't whiff the ball once. Oh, I didn't even think about that. Yeah, you made contact every time. There were a few times where it didn't go anywhere near where I wanted it to,

but for the most part, I was hitting okay. Yeah. I hit the ball every time. There were a few times where it didn't go anywhere near where I wanted it to, but for the most part I was hitting. Okay. So yeah, I would say so as well. Yeah. Good. A new thing I'm learning in golf is just like being way more conscious of where I'm aiming my body in the ball. That's tough.

That'll never really go away. Yeah. It's hard to do. Yeah. I, I, I didn't realize how not conscious I was of it though. Like there was one time in Arizona, or maybe it was Iowa,

where I swung and Harrison's like, well, yeah, you hit it exactly where you were aiming. You were just aiming way right. I was like, I didn't even know. Who knew? So Jake's helped me out with that. I'm trying my best. My next live update is the double dates per week.

We're still going strong. Haven't missed a week yet. We did the Douds two weeks ago and went to jump in catfish, which I'd never been before. And I had an idea of what I thought it was going to look like on the inside, and I was wrong. I don't even remember what it looks like on the inside. Dude, it's like a Bass Pro.

There are animals and just wildlife, like taxidermy everywhere. I mean, like birds dangling from like fishing wire from the string. There's like flying around. And I mean, yeah, there's fish on the wall. There's deer on the wall there's deer on the wall there's ever it's crazy dude really it's like a it's seriously like a bass pro in there it's kind of funny it's kind of warm like it's kind of a nice yeah yeah like not literally warm but just like oh there's a cozy place oh a hundred percent rachel wants to take her dad so bad he's gonna he's gonna go nuts in there and i think they have some type of like unlimited catfish platter and i know he's gonna he's gonna since eddie himself and the unlimited catfish so okay so it wasn't it wasn't like i'll never go back

it's like no did you hush pup it up i i think i had one we got some at the beginning but i got i got salmon or something i think it was really good yeah salmon and mashed potatoes no no catfish huh uh no everyone else had catfish, but I did not. You're like, it's not called jumping catfish for a reason. But yeah, Dowd's two weeks ago. And then my friend Devin Colson and his wife, listeners of the pod, at least at one point, maybe still, I don't know, last week. And then we went with the Becks last night, also listeners of the pod. You go down there.

Went down to Lewisburg. Rachel's a little sold on moving to Lewisburg now. There's a lot of corn down there. So Rachel's like, this would be fun. That's like, yeah, the corn is calling and I must go. Yeah.

But I think once, not necessarily once kids get into the picture, but once kids getting into school, getting the picture, you know, a ways down the road, I think we'd like to move outside of like, yeah,

big school, big city. Okay. Yeah. So some we're talking about. Interesting. Lewisburg's like, I mean,

whatever, this is more of a personal conversation because people don't care about Lewisburg. I feel like it's like far enough away where it's definitely the country, but it's not far enough away where it's not realistic to have a life in Kansas City. Yeah. And I like the idea of moving far enough away where you could still use the verbiage. Hey, are you running into town? Because right now I feel like we're in town.

We don't say. We're definitely in town. I'm not going into town. But Lewisburg, you could start speaking that way again. Hey, I'm going into town if you need anything. Right say, we're definitely in town. I'm not going into town, but at Lewisburg, you could, you could start speaking that way again. Hey, I'm going to town if you need anything. Right.

And that's fine. That means I'm going to Kansas city. When you said into town back in the day, was it Stratford town or was it Springfield town? Good question. I think it could have been either. I think it was interchangeable. It's like going to a place with a grocery store.

Do you guys have a grocery store in Stratford? Harder house. Most of my high school graduating class is currently employed there. Our reunion was there. Because they got an employee discount. Yeah, I just saw a couple of them in the back with the cold cuts, and then some of them were restocking, and then some of them were bagging at the front.

So it works out. Do you think that guy that graduated with you is going to be at your comedy show again? Do you remember in Kansas City, last time there was a guy from Stratford that was sitting right next to me at your comedy me. Oh, Devin Jones, yeah. I forgot about him. Is he at Harder House?

No, he's in town. He's in town. He's in the big city. He came to town. Yeah. Harder House. Double dates going well. Callisters, don't worry.

We'll get around to you, okay? You're next. Oh, yeah. I was supposed to get with Zane at some point. Thanks, Zane. Don't worry, Zane. I think it's in. Ball's in his court, though. All right, your turn.

Okay, I think I mentioned I don't know what it was last week, two weeks ago on the podcast, that Bo was going to preschool for the first time. He was supposed to be potty trained, blah, blah, blah. Catherine brought a change of clothes just in case, but I think I mentioned this on the podcast that he had like a,

he spilled his on his shorts on the way there. Yeah. And so he didn't have any extras. And so first day of mother's day out, Catherine goes to pick him up and who walks out and just his diaper, Bo Ellis. Yeah. So he had held it in all day until like literally right before the moms

were supposed to come pick him up. Dang. And there he comes just not none wiser. Didn't care. It wasn't self-conscious at all. He's like, yeah, here I am. Just rocking the diaper. Or maybe it wasn't a diaper. It was probably underwear. But anyway, there was no shorts on the bottom. Just

shirt and undies. When we got to the Becks last night, their son Vinny was outside playing soccer with nothing on. It was a fun welcome. They're like, yeah, he's potty training right now. I was like, I get it. Yeah.

Country living, man. Yeah. You couldn't do that in town. No way. Not in town. So my last one is about a week and a half ago. Uh,

after one of the shows, we're all hanging out and tour manager, Tom says something to me. He's like, Hey, have you been paying for golf? Like on the road? Like when we were touring,

I was like, Oh yeah. I was like, yeah. He he's like you should start calling golf courses and offering free tickets in exchange for like a free tea time i was like you've waited a year and a half two years to tell me this and he's like better late than ever and i was like yeah i guess so i was like i didn't even consider that i didn't know that was possible i didn't know i was within the realm of things i could do so started I started calling golf courses yesterday in Milwaukee and Minneapolis and wherever. I went one for two.

That's great. Batten 500. You only called twice. Well, yeah, I mean, I went one for one first when I called Milwaukee, get on phone with a guy and he's like, well, I don't really know if we need free tickets, but yeah, you can have a free tea time. I was like, well, that was easy. Yeah, I mean, you didn't ask. So maybe just ask for free tea time. I was like, well, that was easy. Yeah, I mean, you didn't ask. So maybe you just ask for free tea time.

Yeah, just ask for it. Yeah. So, and I'm sure I'll get better and better at pitching this, but yeah, the other course is like, no, we cannot do that. So I was like, it sounds like you're hurting for my, I hear you. Yeah, we'll just pay. So you're still going to go to that course. I might still.

Okay, fun. Yeah, I like that. That's a great angle. So that's just mediocre life update might get free golf on the road do you only have one more i got too many oh really i don't have to say them all i got one two three four five more which one out of those five you want give me two and four two and four um in pennsylvania in pa uh tj i stay with TJ's parents, but he stayed with Brooke's parents and Brooke's family, his whole family did. Anyway, after he left, TJ's parents asked me to show them a bunch of

jean shorts videos. And so I had to watch my own videos in front of these people who've never watched them before. And, you know, I'm like, we don't have to do that. I can, I can put them up there for you and then go in the other. No, no, no, we want you here. Oh, man. Pick out the ones you like the best. And so I'm like, okay. And there were a few times where I was like, I don't know if the volume's not loud enough or they just didn't understand. I mean, you know, sometimes it's like we watched.

There was one we were scrolling through, and TJ's dad's like, I got to watch that one. It's the different generations at work and all the Gen Z jokes just way over their head. Yeah. You heard, you heard her mom, like his mom was like,

Riz, what is Riz? What is he Riz-ing about? And I'm like, I don't know. That's just something those kids say. Don't worry about it. Can I try and guess some other videos you played for them?

Okay. Do you play every camp counselor? Nope. Did you play any sheltered kid videos? Nope. Wow. Tough. Did you play one of yours, the truck guy? Nope. Wow. Tough. Uh, did you play, uh, one of yours at the truck guy? Nope. Wow. More recent.

Oh, anything that we've like you and I've done? Yeah. Do you do, uh, I did, I did a few, I guess that were back with the, the trade days. Airbnb. Oh no. All right. Just tell me. I did. I did the things. Husbands say things husbands say, things wives say, or things husbands never say. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, those are good. And then I think we did Conservative Dad on Vacation. We did Woke Parent, the original.

Oh, yeah. Which I think that one, they had, I think, A, it was like almost too triggering to them because I think it was like, this is like kind of real. This ain't right. And she also said like, these jokes are moving so fast think it was like this is like kind of real. This is a right. And she also said like they're these jokes are moving so fast. It's hard to keep up with them. Sweet.

Watch it again. Yeah, exactly. I was like, that's what makes people watch them again. Anyway, so that was a fun experience. You know, that's why I texted TJ. Like I'm watching my videos with your parents, my own content. So and what was the other one? You said two and four. Let's see.

Oh, last night went on a family walk because we ate dinner early enough. I was like, let's go on a walk, you know, double stroller, bow and Rosie Hattie's in her little balance bike, and it did not go well. It was just it was hot, but one to get out and walk had he wanted to not ride her bike anymore. I mean, we probably, like it was supposed to be like kind of an exercise for Catherine and I, and it was not. It was just like, I guess it was kind of an exercise because by the end of it, I was holding Rosie because she was crying in the stroller. And then I was holding Hattie's bike as I'm walking up the hill. I'm like, okay, what a walk. It was just not like a, oh, nice summer

walk. Let's go on this leisurely time. It was like the opposite of that. Brad's going to do some CrossFit while we do this, if that's cool with everyone. Yeah, anyway. But we met a nice lady on our walk. Bee Jones? No.

I think her name was Sharon? Sheila? She was old. She's lived there since 1972. She was like, we were pregnant with our first baby when we moved in. I was like, wow, you've seen this place change. Good for them. That's one of the qualities of their generation.

They don't like moving on. And her husband, I mean, I guess she's very conservatively in her 70s, if not pushing 80. Her husband is in four softball leagues. Yeah, I'm sharing, and my husband Bob's not here. He's out playing softball. I was like, oh, that's my kind of guy. She's like, oh, you play softball?

I was like, I just like sports. He's in four leagues. She said there's one guy in his league that's 92 years old that plays. Just bats, doesn't run the bases. But still, I'm like, good for him. In this summer heat, like it's 85 degrees probably last night. I bet he does in blue jeans too. Maybe.

So he doesn't take the field and doesn't run the bases. I didn't. He's up there taking BP. She didn't say anything about the fielding. Maybe he's the catcher or something. That's amazing. Yeah. Four softball leagues is wild.

I know. That's going to be Scott someday. Yeah. You know, he's just never going to quit. And he's staying young because of it oh yeah i'm assuming who knows maybe he has cataracts or something i didn't want to be in any like sports leagues now with the tour going on and just like freshly married but i think you know here in a little bit it's time to get back yeah let's do it yeah i mean if anything you got normally monday tuesday wednesdays yeah i've got some time in the, but just don't want to fill it up right away.

Yeah, I hear you. But yeah, whenever it rolls around, get some indoor volleyball going again, maybe some basketball. That'd be fun. I'm down. After I get done playing basketball, I love to hop in the shower and I love to put Milky Sudsy goat soap all over me. Like any brand or specific? No, specifically from QP Goat Soaps. Oh, baby. This young

man named Quinn, he got his first milk goats when he was nine years old. He's now 16. Yep. And he's got a successful goat milk soap making family business. And we love supporting people like that. Do we ever, brother. It's pretty cool. And I truly love their soap. I'm getting Rachel's mom on it. I'm telling my mom which sense to get new roommate Caitlin. I'm, you know,

I'm, you know, inundating her with the goat soap. Yeah, the she's gonna be Caitlin Carol. The Carols will be a goat soap family before you know it. They better not be or better not not. I hope they are. I hope they are too, brother. Yeah, if you don't know QP Goat Soaps, they make real soap. Old school hand poured, made from scratch with lye, oils, essential fragrance oils, whatever it is. Old school means the soap cleans while moisturizing, which is something that people don't talk about. Hey, that's not always a thing that they do both, but it cleans while moisturizing in

a way most commercial bars simply don't by design. Handmade is the difference between homemade and store-bought bread, for example. Think about that. I'm like, yeah, cool. You got a loaf of bread from the store. Big whoop. Cool. Sharon down the road, you know, made homemade bread for me and Bob when he gets home from softball.

Yes, please. That's a scenario I can imagine. I that you get it seriously though how excited do you get about homemade bread i get even more excited about homemade soaps i know i'm kind of a broken record but i promise i really do look forward to showering more than i ever have because i'm like it's pretty fun it's just like it feels different yeah just like different enough to be excited about it it is just like creamier and sudsier. I can't stress enough how your skin doesn't feel like that scaly, flaky dry afterwards. Yeah, dude. I'm starting to become

a little soap snob. I was so grateful of staying in PA with the Macitas family, but I was like, this is not... Soap ain't it. I should have brought some and left it for them as a party favor. Inundate them. Dang it. Because honestly, I was like, I judged their soap.

I was like, yeah, right. Dial. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Pish posh. Pish posh over here. It's all QP goat soaps. So they also have shampoo bars.

They have laundry detergent. They have all sorts of different things, different fragrances for the different seasons. All these different packages. Check them out. QP goat soap dot com. Quinn Pitt out. QP goat soap.com. Quinn Pittman, QP goat soap.com. It's Quinn.

He's a, he's a kid who's turning into a man because of this soap. I'll tell you that right now. The promo code is GRKC for 10% off. Please check them out. Uh, Jake, I have a game for you.

You want to play a game? Let's play a game. I did. This game is like a little back from lunch, kind of whatever, uh, icebreaker at the marriage conference. Um, and it's just a trivia game about Pennsylvania. So what I did is I had five to seven, I don't know how many people are up there, five to seven local people from Pennsylvania up there, five to seven people from out of town on each side. And I asked all the people from out of town on each side and I asked all the people from out of town, Pennsylvania questions

and then wherever they were from, I asked the people from Pennsylvania a question about their home state. Fun little game, Brad. And so I'm going to ask you Pennsylvania questions and then honestly, I think they're pretty easy, but people got them wrong. Um, and then you're going, I'm going to do a random state generator and you're going to ask me a trivia question about that state. Okay. Got it. Got it. Okay. So I will go first on the Pennsylvania one. Did you know that Lancaster was the capital of America for one day? And then it was also the capital of Pennsylvania from 1799 to 1812. True. True. What is the capital of Pennsylvania now? Oh, I almost said Lansing, which is not

correct. That's Michigan. Oh, wow. Now I'm trying to think, is it Philadelphia or is it Pittsburgh? Philadelphia's got so much history. I should know this. No, it's Harrisburg. It's Harrisburg. Oh, people are listening. They're like, oh my gosh, it's not either of those things. Yeah, yeah. No, I was like, wait, none of those sound right. Yeah, yeah. Harrisburg. Harrisburg. Oh, people were listening. They're like, oh my gosh, it's not either of those things. Yeah, yeah, no. I was like, wait, none of those sound right. Yeah, yeah, Harrisburg. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is correct. The people from Mississippi did not know that. Jackson, Mississippi, capital.

Not sure where they're, yeah. Jackson, Mississippi, capital of that. I think we've talked about this before, but I don't remember ever having a unit learning about capitals. I'm not great with capitals. Oh, really? I don't know if we ever really spent that much time on it. I feel like it was like fourth grade for something like that.

Okay, that's where I was reading holes. That's probably all that was on my mind. Oh, yeah, you ever really spent that much time on it. I feel like it was like fourth grade for us. Something like that. Okay. That's where I was reading holes. That's probably all those on my mind. Oh, oh yeah, you're right. We're one year apart, you know? Yeah. Just shows with stuff like that, brother. Lewis sack car was just hitting us a different time. Oh, shell silver scene. All right. Uh, your random state, uh, that you need to ask me a trivia question about is Colorado. Okay. Oh man. Are you looking it up? You ever, you was off the dome. That's what I did. It was kind of fun.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Um, to be fair, I did look up Pennsylvania facts, not off the dome. Okay.

But, but it was like, yeah, it was just, I didn't know these people were going to be from Mississippi. So I said, my Mississippi question was like, okay,

the university of Mississippi, Ole Miss, they have a rally cry. They say hottie blank. And the guy, the Pennsylvania question was like, okay, the University of Mississippi Ole Miss, they have a rally cry. They say hottie blank and the Pennsylvania guy was like hottie bazooki. I don't know like I was like it was so it's like it

made it more fun because obviously like no, you're wrong. Yeah. So all right. I'm trying to take here something that you may know, but may not know.

Let's see. Louisville, Kentucky is, this isn't a proper trivia question, but is. What's the one with, Louisville is the one with all the casinos. Louisville is known for a couple of things.

fun. I think we talked about last time on the 4th of July, I got a little sunburned, kind of on purpose in an effort to minimize the farmer's tan. Yes, I think. Yes, whatever. Either way, that's what happened. And so just got a little pink, a little burn on my back. And normally I would love to peel the dead skin off. Like when you're peeling, I love doing that to myself. Top of the back, you don't really get, you can't see it. You can't feel it as well. And you don't really get, you can't see it, you can't feel it as well, and you don't even get the satisfaction of seeing your skin peel. Luckily, Rachel's into

this too. And so it's been great. One of the biggest perks of marriage is when I lay down, Tim, no, but then I just lay down on my stomach and Rachel just goes to town picking skin off and then I will read to her. So. Uh, and what we learned, and

then I will read to her. So I will, she'll just, I'll pick up wherever she's at on her Kindle. And so it's like, she calls it her audio book. So she'll pick my skin off. It sounds amazing. It's like, uh, it's like, um, it sounds amazing. There's like little fish that are hanging around the big fish and they're like, just picking off like the dead skin from it or whatever. Or just like, she's your little fish. She's my little fish. You're like a, off like the dead skin from it or whatever or just like she's your little fish she's my little fish you're like a she's like a toucan riding on the back of a hippo or something we have a nice symbiotic relationship like she gets the fleas and the flies and the ticks off yeah and i get her across the ocean perfect not the ocean the river what uh what are you reading dude you ever just picked up in the middle of chapter 27 of a book you've

never heard of oh you're just reading her book yeah i'm just reading her book to her and like, I don't know. I thought that was a guy the first time, you know, first like half right chapter. Oh, that's what I do with Hattie's chapter book because because Catherine reads so much more to her than I do. Yeah, but yeah, somewhat sometimes like will you read Secret Garden? If you guys know secret, have you read that book? No, bro. There's this guy named Dickon in there has a Yorkshire accent. I don't know what Yorkshire means, but it basically means that you can't read out loud, whatever the words are like, it's just like completely incomprehensible stuff. And I don't like, how do you read this every single day, Catherine? So anyway, secret garden lookout. Yeah. But yeah, it's been our

little, uh, I'm all done peeling now. So it was a fun thing, like three nights in a row. You're like, you're like missing it. You're like going out and trying to get burned you're gonna get sunburned yeah yeah but that was kind of fun yeah a little audiobook session there's one that we were amazed like rachel kind of collects the dead skin like in like the the small on my back like kind of puts it there collects it there it's so weightless that i can't feel it which is kind of fun she's like all right i'm gonna pick up all of them and drop them like tell me know when you feel them it's just a fun fact you can't feel that it's so light although there's one time where i was like hey i think it's falling off i feel it i was like that it definitely feels like it's falling out i turn around there's a spider crawling on

my back i was like uh spider she's like yeah there is just freezes and i'm trying not to move it because i got all this dead skin on my back so i'm like oh sure. You don't want to get on the bed. Yeah. Can you get it? She's like, oh, it's like, hey, get it, get it. And yeah, it was. Did she? She didn't spring in action like I was hoping she was. It was like, okay, it rolls over. So I'd be going nuts right now, getting this thing off you. But yeah, she's let it crawl around my back. She's

like, I mean, she's crawling on me. She's like looking around. Okay, do what to do. What do we have? What do we have? Like, I've never let a spider crawl me more than a half a second. We're just chilling. We're just acting like, ah, Jake can take it. He's fine. Growing up, were you terrified of spiders? Are you still terrified? No, way more snakes. Oh my gosh. Yes. Yeah. I mean, I used to sleep on the dock at K West and I mean, there's spiders all over that thing. You'd wake up with spider bites. You just

know they're on me while I sleep. Oh, you got spider bites? Yeah. No, I don't like that. I remember, yeah, telling people, it's like, yeah, they say you swallow eight spiders in your sleep in your lifetime. I got them all last night. I hit my quota. Yeah. Ever since I worked out in the shop so often, there's just so many spiders and bugs and stuff. I'm so much less bothered by them. But growing up, if I had a spider on me, I freaked out. I cried. I yelled to my dad to come and fix it. I need to find a way to eradicate my snake fear because it's a little bad. Yeah. Well, you just never know with those things. They're not in plain sight often. And it's like, how fast

can those things move? Is that one that can move so fast or is that one that's just going to chill there unless I do something to it? I treat them all like they're the most poisonous, quickest animals alive. Because they all are. I don't get near them. I don't touch them. There was a sign at the golf course in Texas that was like, beware of snakes. And I was like, that ball's gone. That's the worst sign I've ever seen. Yeah. I'm never going to hit it even close to that. Yeah. Yeah. I'd rather say beware of lions.ware of lions. Like I'd be like, I think I'll see that coming. Right. I'll know if my ball is in a lion's home. Yes. Cause sometimes you're going for like, I I'm in their territory right now. I just know it. And I don't know where my

ball is, but I know it's in their backyard. There was this one, I mean, it, it rained so hard the day before we golfed in Texas and it was swampy out there. And I was like looking for it in the spot, but I was like, what if, what if there's a freaking alligator in here or something reptiles in general? Nope. There's not very many good ones. No thanks. And people are sending me these videos. Have you seen the videos of these deer that are like attacking people? Yeah. I'm like, I told you guys, all it takes is one, you know, that that video I'm sure is like such an anomaly, but that could be you someday. So I'm not trying to get there. Um, I'm trying to is like such an anomaly, but that could be you someday. So, I'm not trying to get there. I'm trying to even

think of a reptile that I enjoy. Frogs? Frogs? From a distance? They're reptiles. What's the difference? Scales. Oh my gosh, yeah.

So, wait. Fish are all reptiles? Wait, you're right. I mean, I'm sure it's not just... They have gills. Are fish are all reptiles? Well, you're right. I mean, I'm sure it's not just, I mean, they have gills. They have a different way of breathing. Are fish different than reptiles? Yes. Yes. So it wouldn't just be scales.

Reptiles can breathe out of water. Is that right? Yes. Okay. I'm not great on the reptile definition. So, I mean, I'm thinking like lizards. Yeah. Or?

Geckos, which they're kind of froggygy you don't like them no no sorry i'm saying those are kind of a frog category yeah bearded dragons snakes i googled best reptiles iguanas chameleon maybe throw a chameleon in there just for its talents you don't like them you don't like them jake like you you you wouldn't be like if there's a chameleon on the table right now in a glass case like completely confined you wouldn't be like i'm so's a chameleon on the table right now in a glass case, like completely confined, you wouldn't be like, I'm so glad that thing's here. Yeah, you're right. You don't like them. There's, I feel like I talk about this all the time when Catherine's like,

oh, do you want, you know, whatever vanilla ice cream? I'm like, I mean, I don't really like vanilla ice cream. And I'm like, well, I mean, I like it fine, but I don't get excited about it. You don't, you don't like it. You don't like a chameleon. If there was a chameleon right here, it's still a reptile that's still creepy and moves so slow that I don't trust it. Would you rather this bobblehead be here or a chameleon?

Bobblehead a million times out of a million. I don't think I would mind. I would like. I would even move it to like. I would like seeing a chameleon ship its colors. Okay. Yeah, that's fair. Kind of from a distance, like, hey, turn into this blue wall. That's cool.

How often do the chameleons really go primetime on that? I don't know. Are they showing off all the time? I feel like they're not. I bet if we took a chameleon in the glass case, put them on a floating shelf right here. And we scared them so we needed to go into defense mode? It would totally just chill there.

Okay, Google. Best chameleon sneak attacks 2022 watch mojo. 2022? What's a watch mojo? Have you just ever seen those? It's like a YouTube channel. It's always doing compilations and whatnot. Turtles are reptiles.

And he acts like a human now. Like he wore a diaper for a year. Yeah. That kind of chimpanzee. So you'd have to change that diaper. I changed the monkey diaper for a little bit, but then it pays dividends three years down the road. He's doing the dishes. How fast do you think that if you're changing that diaper,

how fast do you think that hand could come up and swipe you? Or the foot, dude. I mean, they got four arms, basically. Yeah, you got to watch out. From both. They got tails. Yeah, they got tails. Oh, they got tails.

Oh, brother, they got tails. Do you think you would get like a changing table, like a baby for this thing? I don't know. If you had a baby, would you put the chimpanzee on the same changing table? I think you'd have to have him different. I don't know how. I mean, are you wiping the chimp or are you just

what do you mean? I don't know how else would they get off there a bidet put the nozzle cleanser setting on him go to town. I've got woman nozzle cleanser. There's no chimp function. So I do like what you said about like, you

know, these things like acclimating to yeah, you kind of thing like wolf wolf's basically just a dog like just get one of those honestly yeah wolves coyotes maybe those should have been our coyotes would be i don't know coyotes for some reason scare the heck out of me because they're so like they're such like a country thing that i've never heard of i think wolves you need to be much more scared i think so. I think coyotes are definitely scared of wolves. Probably. Do you, do you have a pick left? No. Okay. That was it. Dog. You had dog, hamster, chickens, and chimpanzee. I had bunny, rabbit, cat, turtles, and pigs. Fun, fun, impromptu schmores. Yeah, man,

yesterday. I screenshotted it. It said, got called big man by a barista once. Loved it. Rode that high all day. Got called big boy by a waiter today. Awful. Zero out of 10. The vibe is in shambles. Big boy. So do you have anything to say? I'll just big man versus big boy. Yeah. Let's see. Yeah. Big man. Big man just is like, uh, that's a term of endearment. Big boy seems like it's, yeah, it's a little more, uh, condescending. Yeah. It also depends on like, what kind of barista are we working with here? Like, I don't want, I don't want some like blue haired Starbucks barista to call me big man. Get out of here. What if it's kind of a real-recognized-real kind of situation?

I think so. Another big boy. What are we having today? Big boy? No, yeah. No, still not good enough. Yeah. Big boss?

Give me that all day. Big boss. All right. I got a Venti cold brew with some vanilla sweet cream cold foam on top for big boss. Big boss. Take it easy brother all right big man hey big man oh big man's great i i do agree yeah now that we're saying it out loud like what up big man like uh like i love it yeah if we're playing basketball and you know at

the end of the game like win lose or draw we're saying good game hey good game big man i'm like thank you dude thank you good game big boy frick you say like, thank you, dude. Thank you. Good game, big boy. Frick you say to me, dude? You trying to fight? You trying to step up on my piece, 50 Cent? You know? Like, yeah, that is something I didn't think about until you bring it up. Big boy is like, I don't know.

He's not good. Big man. You like big man. Big guy, maybe half and half. Depends on who says it. What about big chief. Big guy, maybe half and half. Depends on who says it. What about big chief? Big chief. The best.

Uh, now just chief. Just give me chief. Chief boss. Love boss. Boss, but big boss. It's pretty nice to big boss is just next level.

What about big fella? That's great. I think it seems fine. Big fella seems great. What about if you get called big boy? Hopefully they're like 12 years old or something and calling me that. That was like a phase that I went through for a long time is I just called everybody big blank.

Like, and I got to the point where I was doing it to women. I was like, I can't do this anymore. Like it was like right when I started working at Cerner for whatever reason there, like I'll be like big Ron big Casey, you know, like Big Casey. I don't know. I just called everybody Big blank. And it's ironic because everyone was smaller than me, but I was like, oh, Big Jake. What up, Big Jake? I don't know. I think that's too bad.

But yeah, just big in general is much more better than fat though. Don't ever say fat, obviously. That seems obvious. No, good. I'll write that down. Big man. Yeah. Big man. Sounds great. Big daddy. I addressed myself as big daddy in Pennsylvania. Yeah. People love it. Yeah. That's fun. Uh, before we get out of here, since it is Wednesday, we should do our wins of the week. I realized that I wrote down my one of the week was the audio book sunburn relationship we have. So that was my win. Okay. But Brad, would you like to speak to yours? Yes. My win of the week was the audio book sunburn relationship we have. So that was my win. Okay. But Brad, would you like to speak to yours?

Yes. My win of the week is in Pennsylvania. I got to experience something for only the second time in my life. Have you ever heard of Rita's Italian ice? Oh yes, dude. I think got to try it next time you see one. Yeah. Describe it to me,

dude. That's the thing is the first time I tried it was in Philadelphia with Sammy. Cool guy, Sammy. Yeah. And I'd never, they call it water ice or Italian ice. And it's like, it's like indescribable. It's just different. It's like a little bit different than anything I've ever had before. It's kind of like a slushy, but in a different consistency, you can put custard in it. And so it's got this nice like back and forth there. Big boss. And yeah, big, big daddy was like, it was 10 o'clock in the night after we, you know, did everything. And I was like, dude, I I've seen those a few times. I want to go get one. And they were closing. I think they're closing at 10 and it was like nine 45. Didn't care. Went up there and care

powered through, got, got one called Georgia peach. And my goodness, was it nice. So just winter of the week is, you know, every once in a while you go to like these places and you're like, Oh, they have something that we don't have here. And that was one. I wanted to go there and I wanted to go to Wawa. Didn't get to Wawa. I really like Wawa. Good kitchen. 24 seven kitchen. I know. I didn't see one. I saw a bunch of sheets, which I've heard things about. Oh yeah. I did some jokes on that when I was in Philadelphia. Yeah. When I was, I kind of pretended to know, but I was asking locals. Yeah.

Yeah. So went to Rita's though, and it was a win for sure. It was, I guess it was one of those things where it was like the first time I had, I was like, I've never experienced a Nirvana like this. Like, and I was like, surely it's not as good as I remember it. It was, it was up there. It was very good. Rita. So shout out to Rita's.

If you're in the area, don't take it for granted. That's my one of the week. I wouldn't also take for granted the, the, just the fact that Brad and I are inviting you to come hang out with us in Kansas city for an entire weekend. Don't take that for granted. We may not ever do this again.

Somebody did respond like, I can't come to this one, but really looking forward to the next one you guys do. And it's like, I'm sure we would love to do this again, but it's not, I promise we're not just like holding out. Oh sure we would love to do this again but it's not i i promise we're not just like holding out oh we're gonna do this again next year so whatever yeah yeah i mean even just like real talk like there is quite a bit of truth to that like i

think the florida trip the vacation huge win that was so obvious we're doing that again let's do that i mean once a year we should probably do that but this is like seeming to be like all right this is quite a bit of work securing multiple venues multiple locations you know two of our theaters chicken and pickle trying to figure out food drink ticket prices what do we charge and now on top of that we got to put on all this entertainment we gotta do a birthday party we gotta do a roast we gotta make sure all of our friends are prepared for their roast you know we're doing videos it's like we may learn our lesson here and be like okay that was not worth it let's just go on vacation so this really could be the last time we were doing something like this. And we are going to knock it out of

Rachel Triplet. Do you call her Rachel Triplet yet? No. You call her Rachel Coop still? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I think forever. It's kind of a fun endearing, hey, Rachel Coop.

It reminds us of that first year and a half. Yeah. But eventually people are going to meet Rachel for the first time and not know her as Rachel Coop. You ever think about that? That ain't right. Anyway, I'd say Rachel Coop will be there. Now Rachel Triplett. Both will be there. On display. I'm just kidding. Her and Timon in a box. You can look at them chameleon style.

Yeah. So anyway, come to Casey, see our airport and more grande boo, baby. So much more. Um, I, we don't want to do comments of the week.

Oh, yeah. Good idea. Mine's coming from, I think she is, no, I'm positive she's a ghosty, but this is a Gene Schwartz comment. We posted a fun video recently. Every newlywed couple, people are loving it. Feels good to be back. We're back. For at least one video.

She said, if I had a nickel for every time I've seen Brad shirtless, I'd have three nickels. Not a lot, but it's weird. It's happened three times. Do you remember when you said that yesterday? I was like, who said that?

And do you know what, do you know now why I asked that? Oh, because it could have been a, uh, because, because I was shirtless in Pennsylvania. It makes sense.

So Brad also made the point. He's like, what you really should have said is if I had a nickel for every time I'd seen Brad shirtless, I'd have three nipples or six nipples. Yeah, that's true. Josiah Mayfield,

4731 said, I feel super fortunate to have found your podcast. It very quickly became my favorite out of all the ones I listened to as a fellow Midwesterner and Christian. I like, I like, I relate to you guys a lot of the time. I like part of,

pretty nice in the rowbackies tonight. We love these polos. We wear them all the time. All the time. And we don't even have to. We just like them. Their whole thing is crave activity. And so I think sometimes people are like, oh, those are nice. You just wear those for nice things.

No, you can wear them all the time. I wore them out on the golf course in Texas. Yeah. They're looking real nice. They look really, really nice, but they're also meant to like remove sweat, like absorb it from your body. So it's great.
