Hey, Brad, just got back from a weekend full of stand-up comedy shows. One night in particular, I got a DM probably an hour before the show from a fan. I believe that might be a ghostie. And she said, hey, was planning on coming. I'm sorry to say my dog just tore her ACL. So I can't come anymore. Likely story. Yeah, okay.

Melissa or whoever this girl's name is.enna jenna yeah right jenna dog ate my homework dog tore my tore their acl no one was tearing their no dog was tearing their acls you know five years ago it seems like a new uh new uh excuse yeah like yeah dog can't eat your homework anymore because it's all digital so So now your dog's tearing their ACL. Yeah. It's so funny too. I don't doubt that that can happen to dogs, but it's such a human problem you hear about, like a human ailment, that it's hard to believe that the dog went through this. Hey, Jake, I really wanted to see you in Davenport, but one of my chicken's aunts is in the hospital and we I just got to visit her.

Yeah, just fill the blank, just throw it in the animal. My hamster just tore his labrum. Boy, the labrum. He wants to applaud, but he can't put his hands above it. Can't make it happen. My tabby cat,

we went out for Indian food last night, and they just have not been feeling the same since. Weird. It could be E. coli. Just feeling a little off. Yeah. Yeah. Well, funny you said, my ferret.

You've heard of my ferret? Oh, yeah. Tim. Tim. Tim, close your ferret ears. Tim, close your ferret ears. So my ferret has vertigo. Gosh.

That will do it. That is debilitating. We won't be able to come. It's one of those things you don't know when it's going to happen. you don't know what rhyme or reason you get vertigo it's safer just to stay at home but when the ferrets have vertigo you just you gotta stay home uh oh my gosh my owl what happened uh hootie the blowfish is fine but hootie how got ibs uh last last night, and it's not cured yet. Just now got it. Just now came down with it. My gerbil, which is different than hamster.

Hamster's got the labrum issue. My gerbil, you always see the commercials. You never know, who's this affecting? My gerbil has mesothelioma. Oh, of course. So we're going to call the 1-800 number, and we're going to look into it. But for now, we probably can't come to your birthday.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's in between the Tigris and the Euphrates with the mesothelioma. Nice. Gosh, my Yorkshire Terrier. What happened? Golly, dude. He just had a really hard week at work and he just needs a night in. Oh, okay.

Well, that I get. That's just one of those things where it's like, hey, I'm looking forward to it, but I need to put him first. I took a vow whenever we first entered into a covenant of life together. And I said, I need to stay here with my Yorkshire Terrier if he's having a hard week. Totally get it. I have... Well, my... My... My... My...

My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My...

My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My...

My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... My... Watweiler. My Watweiler. My Fasibis. My Watweiler has a speech impediment. It's like you don't make it.

Watweiler. Oh, gosh. My bunny rabbit has herpes. End it after Watweiler. Don't sit in my seat. 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. All right. What a weekend it's been. Where do we start? Go for a podcast.

All right, what a weekend it's been. Where do we start? Let's start with the shows. You had a good weekend of show. You said it was busy. Yeah, very busy. Just, yeah, packed days. Just like golf twice, filmed pickleball once,

meeting up with people. Also in between all that, like Nathanathan coley who's helped us out editing he does thumbnails for us um grab some time with him he was great i'll talk more about him later remind everyone where you went oh so this weekend was outside of chicago joliet which is great because all they're known for really is the prison i mean you ask anyone you google it all that you'll come up with is like yeah yeah, there's a big penitentiary here. Oh, okay. Yeah, prison break, Blues Brothers.

If Hollywood needs a big prison, they come to Joliet, basically. Wait, so is it still active? Yeah, yeah. So when prison break does their thing, they just like ship the prisoners into another part of the thing? Oh, wait, that's a good call. You know? Maybe it's not still active.

Like Schofield's just like, hey, or maybe those are the extras in labor. Yeah, real cheap taxpayer money, life hack, shoot prison shows, and then all your extras are free and they're so jacked. They really look the part. Yeah. And half of them are born

again, you know. Oh, yeah. If they're not, yeah, weightlifters, they're Bible readers. They're doing great in there. Yeah. Rehabilitated. Okay. So that's like the thing in, in Joliet, Joliet, not Juliet, Joliet, check. Yes. Joliet. It seems like one of the things where no one at the show actually is from Joliet, but they know the stereotype. So you can just make the jokes. And what I feel like you've been to Joliet now two or three times. Yeah. We did perform there last time. Um, what makes you guys go to Joliet and not somewhere else in Chicago? It's just like, Hey, we've, we liked the venue. We're

good with the venue. Let's do that again. I have no idea. I mean, this is all, you know, WME it's their full-time job is to find the right cities and the right venues for their talent. So they know what they're doing. They know the prisoners love me some jokes. Yeah. I don't know what it is about that suburb or that area, but what if it works. What if you go there thinking it's just a normal show, and then you realize it's like a Bob Hope style, like you're doing it. Well, no, Bob Hope is USO. Whatever. Somebody does like, you know,

I think Nate Bargetzi talks about doing comedy for prisoners. Yeah. He's like, all of my jokes deal with being outside. Traffic. You guys remember traffic? Yeah. I mean, yeah, they have cars on four wheels now. It's crazy.

Some of this old man doesn't even know about that. Yeah. That would be funny if I just think it's a normal show and it's just like, this is a make benefit. Man, marriage is a prison, right? You guys know what I'm talking about. Ball and chain. You just got out of solitary.

You know what I'm talking about? Right. That guy's got a muzzle on his face. I bet he's laughing though. Yeah. I can't tell if you're laughing. Yeah. You do crowd work. Like, You know what I'm talking about. Right. That guy's got a muzzle on his face. I bet he's laughing though. Yeah. I can't tell if you're laughing. Yeah. You do crowd work.

Like, sir, what do you do? You've been incarcerated for 15 years. Okay. You mop. Okay. Wow. And that's a full-time gig. How'd this guy get seats?

All he does is mop. And he gets seats in the front. That is a classic joke for you. It's like, how'd you get up front doing that job? I mean, that's what I do if I can't think. You know, they have some boring job or whatever. This week, I hit the jackpot. Everyone I talked to had the most boring.

Account management. Yeah. That's sick. That's awesome. Oh, account management. Okay. Consulting. Oh, no way.

Really? To the point where I was like, should I just stop asking this? Yeah. It's a scary question. It's a pretty open-ended. Like there are some funny things you can go with for that. I mean, yeah, it'd be tough. Yeah, it is such a, you're just rolling the dice.

But there were some moments of good crowd work. There was a woman I talked to, I don't know where it was. It doesn't really matter. I think Minneapolis maybe. And she, I asked her, you know, her name was Sue. Her husband's name was Steve. And I was like, this is just very, just wholesome. Just Minnesota nice of you guys. Sue and Steve. And I was like, you know, her name was Sue. Her husband's name was Steve. And I was like, this is just very wholesome. Just Minnesota nice of you guys.

Sue and Steve. And I was like, where's Steve at? And she was like, oh, he couldn't make it. He's at home. I was like, okay. Dogs ACL. Yeah. And then we get talking.

I was like, well, how'd you guys meet? Or I think she said, how long you guys been together? She said 20. Which is kind of funny. She didn't give me like a unit of measurement. No. Just 20 units of marriage. I was kind of giving her a hard time about that. Just 20 cubits, 20 solid ones. Yeah, we're so happy together for all this 20. And then on top of that,

then I'm like, you know, how'd you guys meet? She said camping. I was like, oh, how do you meet camping? And she was like, I, I kind of got there and he was already there. And I was like, okay, Sue is married to a raccoon. I was going to say, yeah, he was already there. AKA he lives there. Like, yeah a raccoon. I was gonna say yeah he was already there aka he lives there like yeah so then I just got to do all these jokes about I was like no wonder they don't have a raccoons don't understand years and time and he's yeah uh he wasn't he's not here because he's not allowed in where's steve at tonight uh he's at home uh taking out the trash so the raccoon joke yeah he's he's eating dinner. It's trash night.

Tomorrow's trash day, so he's eating dinner outdoors. Steve. So yeah, that was pretty fun. I don't know if there's any other great crowd work from the weekend, but yeah, the shows were great. I got to see Nathan Coley one day. Our now accountant, Connor Kelderman. Yes, he can. Kelderman.

He's an Iowa guy from Pella, Iowa, Pella windows. Shout out, shout out. And we never met in person, but he's been helping me out for like a year now. And just a great guy, great ghosty. And so we got to meet in person, got coffee one day and he was awesome. I don't, what's he look like? I don't even know. Bigger than you think. Oh, bigger, like muscular, tall, athletic. I'll be honest, Connor Kelderman. I thought you were a tall slender. Okay. I would say more tall athletic build. Yeah. Good for him. Yeah. Just in my head. I have one. It's so funny. Like either when you've just seen an app, like a one profile picture of somebody, or I don't even know if I've ever seen a picture of Connor. I think I've a little like image of him on tax caddy.com. And like, that's all I have to go off of.

Is he have dark hair? Yep. Okay. Yeah. I thought he was like a tall skin, like, like, uh,

might be good at volleyball. If you put on a few, maybe 15 more pounds, like, like tall, skinny volleyball coaches are always trying to get you to put on weight, man. You could really make it to muscle,

you know, you know, you just put on more weight. No, I'm thinking like, like, have you ever seen that video of that? Like he's like like 14, 13 year old kid who's like seven feet six or something. Oh yeah. I think I've seen this. Yeah. I imagine Connor Kelderman being like a three-fourth

person at that guy, like just unhealthily skinny, like just put on a few more pounds though. And you would be dominating some upset spike. Yeah. You could spike it way harder. See the muscle. Yeah. So if you're ever curious, like, Hey Brad, what do you think of me? Let me know. You probably have an idea of what they look like. I have, I have thoughts in my head of everybody and they're never right. Probably. Yeah. That is a good point. I feel like, yeah, you can't help it, but do that. Like Nathan Coley looked a little different than what I thought. Sure. I'm already talking about it. No, no idea what Nathan Coley looks like either. Yeah. It it's kind of fun does he have a buzz cut uh no that's what i think of maybe not a buzz cut but like yeah this is the same amount of like length everywhere but not super short there that's a

little closer okay yeah hopefully none of these things are like offensive to the people i'm describing because they're like what like you think i'm just like this kind of guy does he have like a super like asymmetrical face? Yes. Yes. It's like it's really weird. He looks like Sloth from Goonies kind of. Yeah. Just call that everyone works for us. Okay. Andrew Thurbusch.

Does he kind of, he kind of looks like the Grinch a little, right? Yes. Yes, I think so. See, I know exactly what Thurbusch looks like. So I have, yeah. Yeah. He's an influencer now. And he's coming to Grandebo. Heck yeah, he is. Which who isn't coming to Grandebo at this point?

People that don't really love us that much, I think. And people who are on the fence and need this nudge in the right direction because there are tickets available. Ooh, should we trickle in some more details? I think I only have one additional detail. I will say a little bit of urgency. There are not very many VIP tickets left.

Oh yeah, those are going to be done for. Singleis maybe by the time this is out. Uh, but if it's not check it out, uh, yeah. Trickle in some more. So I think my only thing to trickle this week is, uh, so there's a girl we've talked about before. I think when we used to go over coinkydinks, is that what coinkydinks? That's what we call them. Yeah. Yeah. You kind of coinkydinks. I just kind of said coincidence almost coincidence almost uh but she was one of them in my life i had met her in las vegas on my alan we bought a limo trip she happened to be at the same casino we were at she was like i i've been following you guys because i i'm from oklahoma so i know ty and kyle's like this is crazy nice to meet you bailey fast forward five months i. I'm in Sydney, Australia, and I bump into her on the street, like literally run into her on the sidewalk. And she was like, hey, I'm Bailey. I met you guys at Vegas. I was like, oh my gosh, this is crazy.

Did you remember her? I don't remember. Okay. Probably. Don't remember if you remember. uh then she goes on during kobe to start this acai uh food truck business bondi bowls to this day it's the best acai bowl i've ever had i have them all the time and nothing compares to bondi so much so that i wanted to invest i had no money to so i don't know what i was thinking i was like i have no money and no time to work on it to put any sweat equity in but i just i love these bowls

i think kent city should have them yeah anyway turns out i was onto something because i would have been the second truck i would have been the first franchise they did. They now have, I think, 17 trucks or like 17 cities. And I think they're working on another country. They're going to Morocco. What? So they're growing so quickly in three years. Probably shouldn't should have gotten in on that. Whoopsie daisy. But yeah, what's the next best thing bring him to kansas city for grande boo they're going to be here friday night saturday morning selling to you guys uh as you come into both of our shows so we're pumped to have him bailey is the best yeah and is so so so fired up to come here like like the the food truck itself can't even physically drive this far

but they're gonna make it happen they're gonna like that was when it was like next level. Amazing. Wow. They really want to be here so bad. Like they're going to put it on, I don't know, a big flatbed truck, I guess, and drive it up here like a tow truck, basically. Yeah. Or something, something. I don't know how it's getting up here. Imagine like, you know, those, uh, trucks that like transport, like all the car dealership cars, like on top of each other. Imagine it's like all these like brand new Camaros and then Bondi bowl on top of that. It's nothing but yeah, brand new Ford F-150s and just huge like Aussie bowls spilling out of this truck. If you are driving to Grande Bou and you see Bondi bowls in the trailer truck, we will give you free Bondi bowl. Also, it's going to be parked at Brad's house all weekend. Yeah. I asked Brad, I was like,

hey, can we park it at your driveway? He's like, I parked a limo there before. No work. My friend, Greg Peterson parked his semi truck truck, not the whole, not the trailer, but like the front of it. So I'm like, I think the driveway will hold it just fine. So we're excited about that. I'm so excited, dude.

I feel like I've had good bond or good acai bowls in Hawaii, and I've had very mediocre ones in Kansas City. And when you experience a good one, you're just chasing that dream. And I've never had a good one in Kansas City, and so I'm so excited. They're coming Friday and Saturday. You bet your bottom dollar I'm getting multiple of them. Oh, my gosh. I might wake up, Catherine's like, where's Brad? And I'm out just whipping up my own in the driveway.

Like the second baby gets there. Hey Brad, great to meet you. Hey, nice to meet you. Hey, how do I make one? Yeah. Let's say it's like 1am tonight. How do I make one without you? Theoretically, what's the code on the, yeah. Is there a key or how's this thing work? No, it's going to be so good. Homemade granola. Homemade? Yeah, I think they're still making it homemade. That's fun. That's what makes the difference.

We loosely promised that there would be somebody that would invest in one in Kansas City if they came and gave it to us. So someone out there is ready to invest some money. It is a very good investment. There you go. Yeah, bring it to your city. I think in hindsight, it's a good thing you didn't invest not because it wouldn't have been successful but i don't think you would have been able to say yes to as many things as you have in the last couple years that's true i would have had to sacrifice something else along the way like whether a stand-up or yeah whatever pickleball wouldn't have met rachel

hey man you wanna come play pickleball tonight nah i, I can't. JJ didn't end up. She's not available for the Bondi Bowl, so I got to go work it tonight. I got to go sling some acai. No problem. I'm sure it's just going to be an uneventful night. Butterfly effect. We'll never know. I know, dude. I love thinking about that.

Speaking of pickleball, Friday Pickleball, as of 10 p.m. last night, got our first offer on the table for a long-term paddle really sponsorship dude we've posted seven times dude it's crazy oh it's it's gonna blow up it's so fun having a niche audience i've talked about this with mood swings too but like dude we should start something where this has yeah it's so easy you're gonna yeah we talked about golf we did we did some golfing yesterday yeah let's talk about that we're moving topics i love it let's put a pin in it real

quick because i want to talk about you need to leverage the heck out of that, uh, paddle deal that first offer. Yes, dude. You need to be like, Hey, cause there's, there's some people that are doing pickleball stuff. It's all comedy or it's all serious base. Like, Hey, there's not very many people that are cool doing pickleball stuff. Oh, the guy told me on the phone, he's like your content, your seven posts and it's 99% better than anything I've ever seen anyone. Wow. See, that guy played his cards real quick. I'll be honest. We want you. We will do whatever it takes. Our budget is eighty five thousand dollars, but we're willing to offer you ten thousand and we will do whatever it is And you are the only people we want. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, I got a phone with them. I was just texting Scott and Isaac.

I was like, dude, this is crazy. A month ago, we didn't exist, and these companies want us so bad. That's cool. This is crazy. This is so fun. And yeah, we're just going to be, I think, hitting up every single person who's ever made a pickleball paddle

and just starting a bidding war. Yeah. And it's fun. I think goal, how fun would it be? Get some equity. Whoa. I had a phone call yesterday talking equity with this guy. Really?

Because as big as Pickleball is going to get, it's one thing to get, yeah, a check that's five digits. Pretty fun. But think about 5% of a company that's going to exist forever. That's fun. That would be fun. That's a little more risky, but I like the risk.

Throw one on green every once in a while. We don't just need to go red and black. Sorry. That's a gambling joke. Put one on the top three every once in a while. Got it. Blackjack, poker hand, poker hand. Tymon, someday. Maybe, maybe not. Tymon's parents.

Gambling's addictive, guys. 1,800 bets off. What are your parents' names again? Brandon and Maria. Brandon? Does that seem like new information to you? Yeah. I didn't know either of them.

There's no way I knew their names. Yeah. Brandon and Maria. Anyway, how are they doing? Well, yeah. Brandon. Your dad fully healed? Mm-hmm.

Good. Just keep it in. Yeah. Keep it in. He broke his arm. He's doing better from MS with the ileoma or what? Brandon, like, I think we're getting old because Brandon's like a youngish name. I was going to say, if you just said, yeah, Timon has someone in his life,

his name is Brandon and he broke his arm. You'd be like, oh, he's 14. Oh, bummer, dude. Sorry about your friend. Do you have any friends named Brandon? No. You see his face? He wasn't even like, oh, yeah. I mean, I know some guys named Brandon, but I'm not like friends with them. I mean, he's like, Brandon?

I wouldn't be friends with a Brandon. As a teenager, dude? Yeah, Jid Z over here, he's like, I'm, I got a Brendan, a Crandon Braxton, Brexton, no Brandon, Brandon with the silent X at the beginning or something. Brandon.

No way. He looked at us, dude. Okay. I'm just used to it being my dad's name. That's fair. Yeah. But my dad's name is Dave and I know some other Dave.

Yeah. Dave's an older name. Yeah. But then again, we got friends. Same David, Dave, David Harris. Yeah. Daves. Dave's an older name. But then again, we've got friends named David. Dave Harris. Dude, Brandon, though?

Brandon. How old's your dad? Like 50. I bet when your dad was 20, he had to be the only Brandon running around. Brandon's been around, no? You think that was that new? I feel like millennials kind of started brandon i

was just trying to figure out if we were closer in age to tymon's dad than we were to time it but i don't think we are no because you're 18 uh 17 17 so therefore we're 15 years apart from tymon we're he's 50 years old for sure yeah dude if you look up 18 famous brandons. First of all, not, not the random Jacob drop, but they're all like Jennings basketball sports. Go ahead. Age 39, 39, 28, 43,

42, 34, 42. I think Brandon's a young name. Good for your dad. And also listen to these Brandon's. If you recognize any of these. Oh yeah.

Brandon Jacobs. He's not even on the top nine. It says Brandon Lee, Brandon Jackson, Brandon Marshall. Okay. I heard of him. Brandon Marshall. Oh, no, I don't. The says Brandon Lee, Brandon Jackson, Brandon Marshall. Okay, I heard of him. Brandon Marshall.

Oh, no, I don't. The receiver. Oh, Cowboys or Broncos? Yeah, Bears for a long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brandon Ruth, Ralph, Brandon Boyd, Brandon LaGrente. Brandon LaGrente. Yeah, of course.

Brandon Michael Smith. Who are these Brandons? Those are loser Brandons. Brandon's a lame name. Brandon Ibs, though, is a good guy. Brandon Ibs. Who are these Brandons? Those are loser Brandons. Brandon's a lame name. Brandon Ibsh, though, is a good guy. Brandon Ibsh. Wow. Okay.

It did not have a good shelf life either, because it sounds like Timon's not. If you're a ghostie out there and you just named your newborn Brandon, let us know. Dude, there's like no good Brandons ever. I mean, Brendan Fraser, great. Yeah. Brendan, yeah. That's as close as I can think of. Brandon Roy.

Brandon Roy. Brendan Flowers, musical artist. Yeah, Timon. Oh, okay, okay, Brendan, yeah. That's as close as I can think of. Brandon Roy. Brandon Roy. Brandon Flowers, musical artist. Yeah, Tim. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. Hey, someone will know. Yeah, he's 42. What about Brandon Jennings? Isn't that a basketball player?

Yeah, yeah, he's 33. This list is just off. Brendan Jacobs was a beast for two years in fantasy football. Yeah, I was going to say, he had a pretty short career. All right, so just if you say he had a pretty short career. All right. So just if you didn't know, now you know, Brandon, not a lot of success

out there for Brandon's. And I think this name is 50 years and younger. Dude, I always crazy. I never thought about that. Your dad is the oldest Brandon in the world. Isn't it funny to think

about a little baby named Brandon? Yeah, I think about like a coffee corner, like a cat named Brandon. That's funny. OK, yeah, yeah. Anyway, I Brandon. That's funny. Okay. Yeah? Yeah. Anyway, I just think it's funny, like, imagining, like, a little baby.

I don't know. Certain names are just not good for babies, but people, like, parents have the long, you know, the long game in mind. Yeah. Like, he'll grow into it. Yeah. So, anyway. Golf.

Let's talk about golf. Oh, yeah. We went golfing yesterday. First time we've ever golfed together. It was fun. I really enjoyed the fact that it, yeah. We went golfing yesterday. First time we've ever golfed together. It was fun. I really enjoyed the fact that it was just you and me. I think. Yeah, we almost had Isaac.

We almost had Zane. Which I would have been okay. Yeah, I like that it was just you and me. It would have been fun if it was our friends as well. But from what I understand, sometimes you get paired up with random people. Yeah, glad that didn't happen. Me too. I reserved it for four.

That way no one could hop in. Oh, do you ever get like dinged for that? Like, oh, you reserved for fours. You got to pay for you ever get like dinged for that like oh you reserve for fours you got to pay for it the one time that's ever happened happened to be a time i was filming it with josh mayer and they were like really rude about it because that never happens normally at a golf course they're like oh no problem two people didn't show up it's all good really and the one time we were filming it and yeah they were just like trying to charge us for it did they gosh oh you actually were filming the interaction or oh wow it was when we were in

florida and we were trying to film it was the worst golf course in florida oh that's probably why so it was it was perfect yeah it all encompasses yeah yeah it's like the pro shop is bad the course is bad but as uh yeah as you were telling us this i just kind of pulled out my phone underneath the table it was like oh quietly filming it i kind of remember i watched that part of that video at least um yeah so so I texted Jake the day before and I just said, hear me out. We golf tomorrow. And I was like, Jake's not saying no to that. Yeah, what a text.

And yeah, I think it was 1020T time. What were you saying? Yeah, I was just texting you. I was like, oh, dude, I'm so in. What's your weather app say is going to happen tomorrow morning? You're like, just clouds. Dude, weather channel is just weather apps in general. Yeah, I met a meteorologist at church the other day, and I'm just going to text him from now on.

Be like, hey, Nick, is it going to rain tomorrow? Should I not? Because maybe he would know. Or maybe he posts it somewhere, like on his channel that he works at every single day or something. He's like, stop texting me individually. Just go watch it. Yeah, but did yours say, like, it's going to rain a lot?

Yeah, mine said thunderstorms in the morning. What app were you using? I use AccuWeather. Okay. It's like Accutane. Really dries out your skin. Yeah, it's mainly for teenagers. Slightly affects your vision, but anyway.

Mine said cloudy, no rain in the forecast. It was wrong. It was cloudy, though. in the forecast. It was wrong. It was cloudy, though. It was cloudy. I was right about that. And it was nicely cloudy. It was like, okay, it's kind of a cool day out, 70-some degrees. And you're like, yeah, I think it's about to rain on us in an hour,

so we better play while we can. It was really fun, and it did rain really hard. It lightninged really hard. It thundered really hard for 30 minutes. But we took refuge in a women's bathroom. It was women's? I thought so. No. Was it? I don't know. There was urine still in the toilet, so I think it was a men's. Yeah, it might have been. Guys aren't as nice to the toilets as women. We shared a bathroom for about 30 minutes and just kind of hung out. I sent some emails.

It was nice. Yeah, that was actually pretty lucky that we were close enough to that hole. Like we finished one hole and then the next one was like the shelter. Bathroom hole. And yeah, it started pouring down rain. Like it was kind of raining and it was like, okay, you go shoot Brad

and then you run back and I'll go shoot. And it just started pouring, like downpour. We put on our story on jean shorts, but it started raining so bad. I was like, I'm just going to take off my shirt. Who cares? And so I took it off, but I had my row back on shout out row back code, uh, GRKC 20, uh, two buttons, always two buttons on it and learn that you can't get your head through two buttons very easily. Yeah. So I was like a windsock at one point. It was just like blowing all around me. And I was just like, well, I know Jake's filming this,

so I'm going to keep struggling with this rather than come back and unbutton it. Eventually got it. And then shawshanked it up. Yeah. It was a great moment. Just in the wind and the rain. Shirt off. Thought it would be a good promo code

for roback and then turns out our old promo code doesn't work anymore so it's kind of a bummer i know so grkc20 does work grkc20 does work so use that one um and buy your roback stuff uh we saw some turkeys yeah you were fired up about turkeys. Dude, Tymon, you ever seen turkeys in the wild? Oh, yeah. Okay, Brandon. Brandon's boy. Have you? Yeah, a few times, even really close, kind of in our neighborhood. Really? Yeah, and then a couple times just driving.

Yeah, there were a decent amount of people in the story that was responding. They were just saying, oh, yeah, this happens all the time. A flood of them in my neighborhood. I'm like, okay, where do you live? maybe they've just been avoiding you your whole life. I mean, I've, I've lived in neighborhoods, like suburban neighborhoods my whole life. I don't think like, it's like one of those things where like if a Turkey is on our street, it had wandered for a good two miles outside of, you know what I mean? It's not like, oh, there's wooded area over here. And the Turkey just popped out to say hello. So

I had you ever seen one, Jay? Yes, I had because when you were first freaking out about the turkey, I thought maybe we were joking. You're like, no, I've never seen a turkey like this before. And I was like, oh, that's crazy. How's Brad not see a turkey? But then I was like, when is the last time I've seen a turkey? I think I've seen

plenty of times, but I couldn't tell you a time I've seen a turkey. You seem it feels all fields all the time, mainly. I guess, yeah, I don't know. I just assumed, I don't know. Honestly, when I first saw him, I had to think, what is that? I didn't know what it was. I was like, is that an ostrich? And for whatever reason, I wasn't that thrown off

by the fact that it could have been an ostrich. Like if it were an ostrich, I think I would have been less excited than if it were a turkey. So on animals real quick, Madison McC it were a Turkey. So, um, on animals real quick, Madison McCullough, shout out. So faithful,

so consistent. We did a impromptu Schmor's last Wednesday. She just posted it an hour ago, 48% to 52%. Oh, anybody Schmor at this point, I'm losing. You're winning.

Really? Yeah. Oh, I was losing pretty bad. The first like 30 votes. I checked it. Oh, really? Like, like seven 30 this morning or something like that. I'm just now seeing it. Oh, wow was losing pretty bad the first like 30 votes. I checked it. Oh, really? Like 730

this morning or something like that. I'm just now seeing it. Oh, wow. Anybody's game. This is the one. She just posted this one like an hour ago. Or whenever it was. Okay. Yeah. But the Monday one, Caitlin's just dominating us. Dude. Which our words were awesome. Restaurant. I don't get it. That one's

do you struggle with restaurant time? No, I didn't get that. I was like, you kind of really didn't get it. I just restaurant. Yeah. A you. Yeah, that get it. That one's... Do you struggle with restaurant timer? No, I didn't get that. I was like... You kind of ruined it. I just... Restaurant. Yeah, A-U. Yeah. That's it. A-U.

Want some food? I've heard a lot of people say I struggle with spelling restaurant. I've never seen restaurant misspelled in my entire life. Like, how are people spelling it? R-E-S-T-A-R? I think they just get the A and the U mixed up. You? Really?

I've never seen that, though, like in a text form or whatever. But maybe it's because it's autocorrected. Yeah, Caitlin dominated, so we're no longer having anybody else on the s'mores. Just you and me. Just that way, one of us can at least win every single week. Today, one of us will win. That's right. Or Tymon, I guess. Tymon's going to be gone next week.

Yeah. Hopefully, we'll see. We'll tease it on Wednesday. See what we're doing next week. Anyway, that's been animals. Golf was fun. I blame the rain for me, you know, shooting 180.

I was really gripping it and ripping it before the rain came. It was, uh, I was not sweaty at all before the rain came. I was probably for how much walking you did. Cause we had a car and you're like, no, I'll just walk. Yeah. I tried. No, I'll just walk. That was my, that's my goal is like, I'm trying to like, yeah, just walk more because I think that's such an easy way to exercise. And I'm like golfing. I mean, I walked according to my watch or my phone. I mean my health app, which I didn't even have on me the whole day. I walked five miles yesterday at the golf course and it's like, really? Yeah. Wow. And I'm like,

yeah. So it's like that. And I didn't feel like it was a lot at all. I mean, it was fine. So, um, yeah, maybe I'll just try to walk more. Yeah. It was fun. Yeah. I'll have to do that more. And it was fun seeing responses. I mean, people were like, this is people respond to our answer. It was like, this is better than any TV show I've ever watched. Or like I would pay, someone said like, I would pay to watch a tournament with just you and your friends, which I assume that had to be a ghosty probably. Yeah, still still. Hey, all

Absolutely it is. Did you guys hear the news? Tymon, did you hear the news? Oh my gosh. It's just in. Terrible news coming out of the world. The FDA approved lab-grown chicken for sale.

Not good. Tymon, can you play that trombone sound? Oh goodness. Hit me the yellow. Yeah, that's right. Real meat is under attack. Meat forming a bioreactor will soon be coming to a store near you.

I want to keep eating. Yeah. If you prefer meat grown in a pasture instead of a petri dish, then you need good ranchers. Nice timing. Yeah. Not only do they sell real meat from real animals, but they sell the best meat this country has to offer.

They, yeah. Quality steakhouse cuts of beef burger. We had burgers the other night, just every night that we have good ranchers is great. Uh, last night we went to my parents' house. They had good ranchers grilled chicken there. And guess what, Jake, they're coming out with pork. It's out. It's here. It's here. Pork is here. Uh, everything from pork chops to Italian sausage to bratwurst guys, check it out. It's it out. I just know it's going to be next level pork. I can't pork.

So guys, my only ask is that you pork for me. And when you pork, I want you to think of me. That's right. That was in the ad read. When you pork, think of Jake. Do a little porky pig impression for us. How about I do something else? How about I tell you a story okay once upon a time

some terrible storms came through kent city this past weekend i was gone oh gosh yeah but my sister is living in this house and i say caitlin i heard uh you know 70 mile an hour sustained winds came through i heard the power is out i heard there's tree branches on our power lines. I said, don't check the roof. Don't check if the basement's flooding. Nope. Is the good ranchers meet? Okay. Check my good ranchers. Is the garage freezer still plugged in? That's what's important to me. Yes. And guess what? We lost power for two days. We're going to have to throw it all out. So just know my most prized possession is gone. I'm going to have to order more. Better than organic chicken from

goodriches.com. And it is better than organic chicken. It is the best meat of all time. I haven't seen a single person be like, yeah, I kind of regret it. So, so. Nope. Everyone's like, I'm doing it. I'm doing it again. It's that good. So check it out. They have pork now. Check out the pork. Um, and is there anything else or just the porky pig thing? A beat, the beat, the beat. That's all folks.

That was great. Whenever you said porky, the pig, not only did I freeze, but I was thinking of like, all I could think of was Elmer Fudd. I was like, that's not it. You rascal.

some crazy storms this weekend that is a true story crazy storms on was it thursday friday uh friday time when were you in town did you survive yeah i was did you survive do you survive you mark yourself safe on facebook do you use face yeah you're on facebook i don't use it for anything but the facebook group did you get it for the Facebook group? I had it before, but I still never used it. Really? Yeah. I do love your willingness to go along with a bit of hiding your face because you don't have a profile picture on your Facebook.

I really appreciate that. I did until I joined the group and I was like, I gotta give myself a little silhouette profile picture. Which as of an hour ago, I did post a picture or a video on Patreon of Brad just, and someone me roasting time. And, and you get to see plenty of his face. So you pay for his face on Patreon. There you go.

Pay for the face. Um, I don't remember. I was going to, uh, what's the word? Verbally process the patron thoughts that we had, um,

on the podcast. We can talk about it later. Okay, yeah. I would like to hear what the ghosts think, but maybe we'll figure out what you think first. Oh, yeah, the storm was nuts. I left my computer charger in Pennsylvania, in PA. On the plane? I've been chasing the charge all week.

My main source of charge, a.k.a. Jake and Rachel, were out of town this week. And so I went to the library to do some work like only Big Daddy does. Honestly, dude, go to the library. I get more work done there than the coffee shop for sure. It's a great time, but it started pouring down rain. Of course, I wasn't checking my weather app because I'm not 48 years old. And so I didn't know that it was supposed to rain. And all of a sudden, I could just tell it was raining hard.

And I texted Catherine. I was like, is everything okay? She's like, yeah. But at one point, both kids had their heads under blankets. Like they were scared. We were watching out the door. And apparently, Hattie said she couldn't see your house from our window. Whoa.

Because it was raining so hard and raining sideways. Some of that sideways rain. It was like apparently they heard and watched multiple trees crack and fall down. That night, we just drove around the neighborhood and looked at damage. Like it's Christmas lights. It was like, look at that one over there.

That one's got an AM radio that we can connect to, like a transmitter. Wait. Do it, time it. You know how Christmas lights... Oh, yes, yes, yes. AM transmitter. Okay, okay.

I choose a transmitter. I don't know why I struggled understanding that so much. Yes. The idea that their branches knock down, but now it goes to music. I'm sorry. I'll get the next one. Oh, that was one of the only times I've ever not understood your joke at all. Yeah, not even a little bit.

Not even a little bit. For some reason, I was thinking of, I don't know, like a transformer or something. I don't know. Megan Fox. Yeah. God, your face when Jake said that joke reminded me of Rachel's face when I said horses. Okay.

Yeah. Good try. Yeah. Horses. I understood the words you said. I don't know why you said that. It's amazing. Those little niche things where all of a sudden people are sending us these horse memes about people smelling horses.

All these advertisements where somebody's like, oh oh the smell of horses is so great it's like what how do they how do people find these things and then it's crazy the coincidences and everything but i was talking about that with nathan coley because he was talking about how it's just so fun he's been such a big fan and to see ghost runners grow to what it is now and you know there's there's more ads it's becoming more of a business but he's like but he's like it's cool like i haven't seen a single person complain about the ads he was like if anything he's like your ads like heighten the content he's like they add to what you're already doing and i was like oh that's really cool like thank you for seeing it that way that's cool he was like it's the only like podcast i don't skip the ads because you might miss something yeah and uh and we were talking too i was like it's so

funny too just how the, people have latched onto this horses thing. Like no other inside joke over the last four months. I would say it's like the time and horse thing is the biggest inside joke from the podcast right now. It's so fun. Yeah. Because it was just like so unbelievably out of, you know, the left stable,

you know, like it was just not, no one saw it coming. It shocked all of us non-horse people so much, but then to find out there are already memes that exist about smelling horses, it's like, well, I guess it wasn't that crazy of an answer. There's a subset out there.

What can I say? There is a people group. Update on Schmores. It is out 50-50. Wow. Have you voted yet, Tymon? I voted for Jake. I'm so sorry.

Let's go. Dude! You had a reptile in there, dude. What was it? Oh, turtle turtle. Uh, Hattie is so excited. You know, Friday night movie night speaking of turtles, uh, finding Nemo this Friday. She's never seen it. It's going to be a, it's going to be a great time. Wow. That's a big movie. It's one that I'm like actually excited to watch. Like a lot of times I'll sit down there and like be on my phone while the movie's going. I'm watching that one. Yeah.

Yeah. She kind of knows the story. Cause we've like gotten a comic book from the library. That's finding Nemo. And we like listen to an audio version of a summary of it, but like not going to be the same. That's gotta be fun. I'm trying to think of like different parts of that.

I mean, there's the P Sherman 42 Wallaby way. She's going to think that's great. She's going to have that memorized. Fish are friends. I was going to say the sharks are scary at the very beginning and 42 Wallaby Way. She's going to think that's great. She's going to have that memorized. Fish are friends. I was going to say the sharks are scary at the very beginning and then they're great. Are there any other scary parts of that movie?

I don't know. It's so funny what the kids think is scary. Like will they think that one part where they're doing the Wana Hakalugi? You know like the ritual thing? Is that scary? Or yeah, I don't know or i the crazy girl with braces yeah yeah yeah the girl yeah she's gotta be scary oh she's terrifying yeah even now yeah

she is yes people with braces are scary right time yeah i don't know i mean couldn't look in a mirror from it's it's really have i talked about how bow like cried last time or recently we watched a movie yeah he had like a weird response to. Yeah. He was like really bothered. And that was like a real life, like Shirley Temple movie. But I mean, yeah, this like grandpa was getting dragged away and he's just like, no, no. I mean, he's like really sad.

And so I am a little like, you know, 1% nervous about Bo being too scared of something. But I think for the most part, he gets scared when people are getting hurt, which is funny because he comes up and hits me all the time for sports. So I don't know. You need to start acting like grandpa in that movie. Maybe just get a beard, but so Bo's going to watch it too. Oh yeah. It's a family, family affair. Fun. It's every other week. Uh, Bo gets to decide how he gets his side on the movie. Cool. So how he was really like, it's so fun watching how he tried to be a salesperson because like she really wanted to find an email last week, but Bo kept being like,

no, no. They ended up watching Peter Pan, I think, which they've watched like, you know, 50 times. Really?

Yeah. Like so many times, but Bo was still excited about it. Anyway, I have, I have a few different games that we could play. Fun. You want to play some games? Yeah, let's play some games.

We could either play the one I talked about yesterday with you, or we could play a game I made up called Overrated Underrated. Overrated Underrated. Okay. So this, or Overrated Underrated or Aptly Rated. A, um, just random things.

I've been writing down things about that. I've been going around the world. Um, what was it? Two weekends ago now, maybe three, uh, Taylor Swift is in town. Uh, and people lost their mind for Taylor Swift. I personally don't know if I would lose my mind for Taylor Swift. So I asked you guys, Taylor Swift overrated,

underrated, aptly rated. My first response is Taylor Swift aptly rated, really correctly rated. Okay. I'm, uh, I feel like my gut,

my gut response is overrated because I feel like she's just so incredibly rated. It's like, there's gotta be some level of like, okay, it's just because she's so popular. I feel like I'm still overrated. How much were those tickets? Like $1,000 or something?

Yeah, at face value, they're normal. $75, $100, and then the secondary market, then they go up to $1,000, $2,000. Oh, I thought she was selling them for a lot of money. No, that's the thing. That's why I don't think she's overrated because the free market is never wrong. It's like if people are willing to spend $2,000 to see her,

then could she really be overrated? It's not like they're just talking like, oh, yeah, I would see Taylor Swift no matter what. Oh, I'd love to see Taylor Swift. But if they're willing to spend $2,000 to see Taylor Swift, clearly they see a value in it. Yes. Okay.

So maybe I just am not the person to rate it or say that, yeah, either way. Yeah, that's fair. I don't really have enough knowledge with Taylor Swift of the new, let's call it the last five years of Taylor Swift. I liked her old stuff a lot, but now this new stuff, it feels like she's got a lot of attitude.

You sound like an old Brandon right now. I am. I'm 100% like a curmudgeon about it. I liked her better when she was just a sweet Taylor Swift. Tear drops on her guitar. Oh, yeah. I really liked it. Fearless.

I had that CD in freshman year of college. CD-ROM. You're kidding. Uh-huh. Yeah, you should go to concert with my Uncle John sometime. But that's the thing. I would be excited about the beginning eras, and then the end eras. I'd be like, what has become of you, Taylor? Taylor, look at yourself.

Look at you. Look at how successful you are. Is this what you wanted? Yes. Selling out every venue you ever went to. Five shows at SoFi Stadium. Is that what you wanted? Yeah.

Really? Really, Taylor? Isn't that crazy, though? It's like Thursday through Monday. Oh, yeah. It is crazy, but at the same time, it doesn't surprise me. It's crazy. Because what is... I mean, that place is huge. Probably like Thursday through Monday. Oh, yeah. It is crazy, but at the same time it doesn't surprise me. It's crazy. Because what is, I mean, that place is huge. Probably like 80,000.

Yeah, Los Angeles. You imagine performing for 80,000 people. That'd be so fun. That's why I want to do music someday. I think it's so fun. But yeah, she, I've talked about this on the podcast before. She's one of the only people that's like writing high quality pop songs, like writing her own. It's like Ed Sheeran, like writing her own it's like ed sheeran

her um i don't know who else is even like at that level it's like there's some of the only two like doing it camila caballos uh olivia rodrigo's uh apparently olivia rodrigo did write driver's license okay so that's impressive while she was driving or i don't know what the muse was she was at the dmv uh okay next one overrated underrated aptly rated uh big thing that's been coming out the last couple days uh madden rankings i was just the video game madden recently good for mad because i don't know how popular the video game itself is these days but they're staying relevant by making a big deal out of like, Hey, we only give so many 99s out. Look, we gave a 99 to this person. Like they're doing a good job staying in the news.

Does it seem like they're giving out more 99s these days? I have no idea. Apparently they gave out a 99 to a offensive guard for the Cowboys. Is he good? Apparently I've never heard of him. Like, uh, Oh, Tymon is Googling what the heck are madden rankings that's fair we have had a few s'mores where we do sports late days they're like i don't know what

they're talking about uh madden is a nfl football game okay um and the rankings are like each player gets a rating you know okay i did know skill levels every day game but in 99 is the highest ranking you can get so padram homes is in 99 Um, but there's not very many of them, but people are like dissecting, like it's on sports center all the time. Like, Whoa, was Garrett Wilson wide receiver for the jets snubbed on his ranking from Madden or rating, I guess is what it's called rating for Matt. Like, and it's like, or even our friends the other day were like, it looks like according to the Madden ratings, we should have this guy as our third best wide receiver. It's like, how do we, whatever.

But I watched on Hard Knocks, I remember a few years ago, like the players met with Madden. Adjusters. Yeah, there was adjusters, yeah. That's the cool thing about these days is that you can adjust because it's all online and updatable and stuff. But anyway, overrated, underrated. Madden the game, fine, whatever.

Mad in ratings, overrated. Way too much hullabaloo. And you know I do not like to say that word. Too much hullabaloo with Mad in ratings. Can you edit that out, please? Based on what I've heard, I'd say overrated, too. Would you dare to say too much rigamaroo? Come on, hey, don't.

Don't think you have to say that word if you don't want to. Don't introduce him much rigamarole? Come on. Hey, don't. Don't think you have to say that word if you don't want to. Don't introduce him to rigamarole. Maybe next. Okay. Maybe a couple months. When we're at the casino. I'll go over it as well. I just think it's just one more thing for talk shows to gab about. Nice. Yeah. Gab. I just like using random

words like that. I think it was three great random words. Okay. Next one is brought to you by a sponsor. Yeah. Cozy Earth is sponsoring our podcast. That's nice of them. Yes. Do you guys know about Cozy Earth or do you want me to tell you about them? I have no idea what the heck you're freaking talking about.

Cozy Earth. What the heck is Cozy Earth? Cozy Earth AM transmitter. Why is Cozy Earth the greatest sponsor of bed sheets and other loungewear in the game? Because they craft luxury goods that transform your lifestyle. It's been featured on Oprah's

favorite things five years in a row and it's responsibly sourced viscose from bamboo is what it's made out of. The viscose from bamboo hot dog. It comes with a 10-year warranty and you can get 35% off with code GRKC guys at cozy earth.com. Yeah, I I'll just say overrated underrated aptly rated

according to cozy earth in the theme of cozy earth sleeping in your own bed versus sleeping on the road. Wait, I guess sleeping in your own bed. Yeah. As someone I was thinking of, I was thinking of Jake being gone. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Jake's been on the road. He, you know, there's lots of different beds and then he comes home and sleeps in his own bed with cozy earth bed sheets. This goes from bamboo, uh, the most silky smooth, but yet breathable climate controlled bed sheets you'll ever have 35% off with code GRKC, cozyearth.com. Sleeping in your own bed, overrated, underrated, average, or whatever.

Sleeping on a tour bus, overrated. Because you know what I sleep with on a tour bus? Nothing. They give you one comforter. There's no sheets, there's no blanket. Just every bunk comes with a single comforter. No fitted sheet?

You're not raw- dogging on a mattress. No, sorry. Sorry. As far as what is on top of me. Sorry for using that term again. Just, yeah, just on top of fitted sheet, as far as what goes on top of me, there's no top sheet, no blanket, just a comforter.

It's hard to regulate that way. I would have a hard time with that. Because you've got vents, so you're like, all right, I think the right temperature is one leg out of the com room and one vent halfway open and then and then you get cold and you're like okay now i'll put okay two legs under yeah and then you get warm and you have to go back two vents open but with cozy earth it really is just perfect yeah and i don't care if rachel wants to take up 90 of the bed and put her body heat all over me. Cozier. It's still regulates. No

problem. Yep. Uh, even like a pencil on the side of the bed, but I am soundest. I don't care. Yeah, I am. Yeah. I'm straddling like one leg is completely on the ground on the ground. One's supporting my weight, but I am the right temperature. Oh gosh, it is. So they are so good guys. Uh, great bed sheets. So check them out. They also have clothes. They have pajamas. I can't imagine. I mean, we got a shirt from them, which is kind of like a pajama shirt. I can't imagine having head to toe cozy earth in a cozy earth bed.

I underrated sleeping in your own bed as well i agree oh yeah you just never know with other beds what's gonna happen you have consistent belief that cozy earth's gonna follow through for you and my bed at home with uh cozy earth bed sheets isn't attached to a bus that's moving six straight hours in the middle of the night like it's stationary and that's what i like

about cozy earth what do you mean oh so it's just it's in my home okay i love. What do you mean? Oh, so it's just, it's in my home. Okay. I love asking, what do you mean about things that like have no interpreter? Like, yeah, it's completely clear. How do you, how do you say, well, what do you mean? It's not attached to a bus. All right. Next one. Uh, have you seen the, uh, new sphere in, uh, Las Vegas? Sick. The MSG sphere. Yeah. Uh, time you seen this, we just Google it. Uh, the MSG it's called the MSG sphere yeah time you seen this we just Google yeah go ahead the MSG it's called the MSG sphere is a stand for Madison Square Garden I don't know whoa okay so this thing yes so time it's this massive ball in Vegas can we put this on the on the screen for the youtubers screen recording okay massive

ball in Vegas and you can change the outside of it to be whatever you want overrated underrated app people are freaking out about it i still think underrated i well how are people rating them assuming people are loving it people are people are loving it i think it's so sweet i want to see a million more of them the opportunities are endless with this that is so cool like there's one i don't know scroll down if you can see there's an like one time they put an eye. I was going to say the eye bothered me. The eye bothered me, but also it was amazingly bothersome.

You know what I mean? It was like blinking and stuff. It was like an actual video of an eye. Now I want you to Google WYNN, WYNN Golf Course Sphere Eye. Have you seen this image so it's it

lines right up next to the golf course and i feel like it's like one of the more prestigious golf courses you could play and like looking down the fairway oh you kind of directly under you could see the golf course more. Under the... Oh, here. Maybe? Wow. That's kind of low res, but still. That is really funny. It is right next to the golf course,

and it's just like this fleshy, gross eye. So that's kind of a bummer. Like, why not just make it a golf ball? You know? I bet they will at some point. Or just anything other than a human eye, really. But that's the thing. I think it was a human eye for a certain reason,

certain event at the sphere. You don't think about the back of an eye. Cause it's like an event center inside. Like they're like, uh, uh, uh, uh,

ocular, uh, uh, octopus, optometrist, optometrist. Um, yeah,

maybe there was a little convention in town. It was, that was a, that, what that was, they were doing a, uh, live it was that was a that what that was they were doing a live lasik surgery on that eye what if that would be wild they're streaming things out of the sphere i think it's sweet that's what i'm saying this has so much potential i think it's underrated still i agree especially because time hadn't even heard of it yet so it's still underrated yeah okay um i have more but we can do more uh another time i'll just do a few

more here um overrated underrated aptly rated uh threads the twitter twitter for instagram oh yeah i kind of predicted to rachel i was like i think there's gonna be this gonna be pretty fun for two weeks okay and i think that's where we're at have you gotten on it and scrolled it and everything? Less and less as time goes on. Okay. You time? Same. Yeah. Yeah. I'd like posted a couple things like randomly. Yeah. Really fun. It's like four days. Yep. Still checking it like 10 days later. And now I don't know the last time I checked it. I've only like, if someone will post their story, everyone's all click on it and it'll be like download threads. I'm like, nevermind go back i don't i don't i don't need one more thing like that yeah um but i'd say overrated i think well yeah the hype was overrated uh based on what you guys are saying because it doesn't feel like anybody's like super excited about now uh i feel like a lot of people well i don't know really

maybe the excitement in general has died down is it gonna be like one of those things where like oh i'm a tiktok star but i'm not very popular on you know Is it going to be like one of those things where like, oh, I'm a TikTok star, but I'm not very popular on Twitter. It's going to be like, I'm a thread star, but I'm not really popular on YouTube. Ooh, potential wordplay for people like, yeah, TikTok and Instagram is doing pretty well, but I got a low thread count. Ooh.

Bang. Start sending out emails. You know what doesn't have a low thread count? No. Cozy Earth. Dot com. Dot com. Okay, let's do one more uh i got so many good ones um bluebell ice cream overrated underrated aptly rated i think there's a lot of people still

don't know how good it is i'm gonna go underrated it's really good ice cream you ever had it time i i'm sure i have i can't think of like how it specifically. Get yourself the cookie two step. Thank us later. It's interesting that you say you don't think that that many people know about how good it is. Yeah. It's very Southern thing. Maybe so. It's a Texas thing. I feel like everyone that knows about it, like thinks it's God's gift to creation. Yeah. And to me, I'm like, it's good, but I could do other ice cream and I think I'd be pretty much the same contentment. I think it's by far the best ice cream you can buy in a store. Yeah.

Like frozen custard from Andy's? Yes. Better. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. It's also way more expensive. But like, yeah, store-bought ice cream, it's good as it gets.

You ever go Blue Bunny? Sure. Yeah, we did a brand deal with Blue Bunny back in the day. Did you? It's fine. Catherine, yeah, like kind of one time, a little over the top, like I don't think she really cares that much. But one time I was like, oh, I'm going to get some bunny tracks, Blue Bunny.

And she's like, Blue Bunny, do not get Blue Bunny. I was like, what? Blue Bunny's great. It's ice cream. It's fine. Yeah. No one's making bad ice cream. Yeah.

Except for those like massive tubs, like the gallon tubs. Like generic tub. Uh-huh. Which that's still fine. I think that those are great for like a- Ice cream social. Yeah, except for those massive tubs, like the gallon tubs. Like generic tub, which that's still fine. I think those are great for like... Ice cream social. Yeah, yeah. Or like Rachel a couple weeks ago made chocolate chip cookies,

and then she went and bought a big old jug of vanilla ice cream and put that in the middle of it and made homemade ice cream sandwich. And you think that's okay? Yeah, it was fine. Yeah. Because the cookies are already providing so much flavor. We don't need to spend a lot of money on ice cream. I will say I haven't had one of those big tubs in a long time.

So maybe they're doing all right. Okay. We'll do more another time. Overrated, underrated, aptly rated. Thanks for playing, guys. Thanks for playing. I'm going to talk about one of my favorite Uber rides I have ever taken. Better than Diomedes?

That one sucked. That was the worst 24 hours. I guess time, I don't quite pull it up yet, but basically Isaac and I are leaving a golf course. We got to play another TPC course this weekend.

It was a lot of fun. And we're leaving it. And as we get in the car, this guy has been a little strange, you know, but fine. And we are about halfway at the trip home and he just goes uh y'all mind if i turn this up a bit and we're like no go for it and he turns his volume all the way up like as high like 30 out of 30 on his radio i've never been in a car when it's turned all the way up before.

I've never... So he turns it all the way up as high as it'll go, and it is a Skillet song. Didn't know Skillet was still making music. And I feel like Isaac and I had two options. We can be annoyed, we can ask him to turn it down, or we can just rock out in the back.

I said time in some videos of us in the back seat of... make sure we have audio of this what in the world one mile make a right turn i forgot he kept apologizing. I was getting a loud environment notification on my watch. Oh, my God. Which happens if you're at a concert or something.

Right. Your watch was like, hey, if you sustain this for 20 minutes, you could have temporary hearing loss. So I was getting those notifications on my watch. Dude, it was so just like comically loud. I mean, it was just so loud. Like, this is hilarious. We're just in an Uber and it's just a blaring skillet.

Okay, let's say it was on 30 out of 30. What was it before he turned it up? I mean, probably like eight or something. You know, like pretty mild. Like we could still hear his music and it was like, oh, this guy likes metal music or whatever. Okay, was it that specific song or did it continue for a while? So that's the thing. Okay. The song is over and we're like, oh, this guy likes metal music or whatever. Okay, was it that specific song or did it continue for a while? So that's the thing.

Okay. The song is over and we're like, yes, dude, skill it. And so then he just like left it there. And I actually still remember the name of the artist because I was looking at it for a while. It was like Saint October or something like that. He leaves at 30 out of 35. He's like, they're actually a local band.

These guys. We're like, oh, no way. And he's like, you know, I dated the lead vocalist for a while. We're like, Oh cool. I just try to tell us all these stories while it's on full blast. It's like heavy metal kind of stuff again. Yeah. It's just so hard. I mean the skillet song, I gotta say, I was like, that one wasn't too bad. That was at least a little, there was a little catchiness to it. Like that was fine to like fake rock out for three minutes. But then the next song, Isaac was about to lose it. And the next song, he was like, we got to get out of this car.

I mean, that video you showed, Isaac is plugging his ears. Like, what does the Uber guy think of that? He's like, okay, they're probably enjoying it for a while. They're rocking out. And then he looks back, oh, he's plugging his ears now. I should probably turn it down. It was so funny. He kept apologizing.

Sorry about the GPS, guys. I can't turn it off. No, it is such a breath of fresh air when that GPS comes on. Yeah. Finally this yeah. Kind lady, not just the one that you, you know, dated also, uh, in addition to that, he did, uh, one time, like it's kind of what it was like state highways, but every now and then there might be a stoplight. So I think the speed was 55 red light kind of sneaks up on him and he really slams on the brake, like locks up the brakes, like a little scary. Like, you know, you kind of look like fully locked him up to the point

where when we get done braking, you kind of go back into your chair, you know? So it's like, dang, I haven't like break that hard at a long time in the car. And he's very guys. I'm so sorry. I am so sorry. This is pre music. Oh, okay. It wasn't while the music was going or else it like, hey, why don't you turn it down and focus?

This is before he got crazy. Do you think he was tired and he needed to like get a little amped up? Wake up? I mean, maybe. It was like 3.30 in the middle of the day. So he locks up the brakes. He's very apologetic.

And he's just like, sorry about that, guys. I mean, you just, you never know when a red light's going to sneak up on you. And so I was kind of looking at Isaac, but I was just like, yeah, it's too bad. They need to give you some kind of warning that a red light's going to sneak up on you. And so I was kind of looking at Isaac, but I was like, yeah, it's too bad.

They need to give you some kind of warning that a red light's coming. And this guy just doesn't get it all. He's like, yeah, that'd be nice. I'm like, something that says like, like yield, like a red light is like warm. Or just the light itself.

Like some kind of middle ground. Yeah. Yeah. I hear you though. That does suck. That would be nice. Like a yellow or Yeah. I hear you though. That does suck. That would be nice. Like a yellow or something. I don't know.

That's great. It was very memorable. Uber ride. Can we just play the video one more time? The first video of Isaac and I rocking out together. Absolutely.

There's two bros in there in their golf polos. Yeah, I got her bad birdie on. Oh, my goodness. Rocking back there. Oh, that's favorite Uber ride ever. It was great. It was pretty memorable. Remind me, after the podcast,

I'm going to tell you something that Isaac said after the car ride. Okay. That was great. Good old Ike, man. It was so great. So that was a fun story from the weekend. Yeah. Does he,

is he still slinging merch like no one's business? Yeah, I know. One night he was really happy with how well the merch sold. So yeah, I think he's, I think he's doing great. Good.

It's going well. Update on Morris. I'm now 47%. I went up to 50, 50 back down to 47. How's that feel? Timing also update, you know, last week I think I was like, hey, I'm posting the Gene Schwartz video now. Let's see how it does throughout the episode. Now, that same video is up to 484,000.

Oh, wow. We hit something on there, huh? Yeah. I hadn't really been paying attention to it. It started off pretty slow, though, didn't it? A little bit, but it was getting DM'd a lot to people,, you know, that's a good sign. Like it'll pick up eventually. It's interesting. Like all the different platforms, like Instagram seems like the one that grows later. It used to be YouTube shorts. And now I feel like it's, yeah, now it's Instagram, but people love the newlyweds video. I think it got 200,000 on Tik TOK, almost half a million Instagram, a hundred thousand on YouTube. Oh yeah. Fun. I think we just do all relationship stuff from now on.

Just only newlywed stuff for the next 10 years. Sure. Timon finder and you could be there. Um, okay. I went to the movies, uh, the other night with Catherine,

we went and saw a sound of freedom. Oh yeah. Rachel, I almost saw this last night. You should see it. Yeah. Uh, yeah,

not. Have you seen a time in? Not yet. It's, it's very good. It's not one that's like, oh man, have you seen a time in not yet? It's, it's very good. It's not one that's like, Oh man, I'm excited to see that again, but it's, it's heavy, but it's really good. Um, yeah, that's beyond, I cried. I, I wanted to like scream at the move, like at the screen a few times. Um, just very good, intense, dark movie anyway. Um, but that's

not what I was going to talk about. I was going to talk about, uh, before the movie started, it was a packed theater. I literally sold out. We got there, uh, I don't know, 30 minutes beforehand and we had to be on the third row. So it was like one of those, like I was, I was like, Catherine, we should, we should come back. Cause I don't want to be on the third row. Um, she's like, I'm going to be fine. It, it was, it wasn't that bad. Um, got, you know, yeah, I got the two seats on the aisle, and there was like one seat in between the next people. So I was like, oh, no one's going to sit next to us. This is great.

Literally every single seat was full. But before the movie started, there was this dude. I don't know what was going on. This dude and his girlfriend, like, I don't know. He was a younger guy. He was probably Tymon's age or something. Got up and like left the aisle five times

like back and forth maybe 19 minutes maybe 20 not throughout the whole movie but five times in 20 minutes one time one time during the movie at the very beginning but I was like dude I went ahead at first I was

courteous like you know did the whole you, move the legs and like, oh, yeah. Oh, sorry. Eventually, I didn't even. I was kind of slouching in my chair because I was on the third row. I didn't even move my legs. I was like, dude, you got to. I almost confronted him. If he would have done it one more time during the movie, I think I would have said, hey, man, what's going on?

You got to figure it out. Just put a colostomy bag in, dude. It was weird. It was like he would leave and then his girlfriend sometimes would leave. And then other times he would, it was like, maybe he was getting napkins for his girlfriend. I don't know what he was doing, but it was just odd. I was like, what, what's going on here, man? This is way too many times.

And then it was like, after he started doing it, other people were getting up in the aisles and Catherine and I like looked at each other like, what is going on here? You guys don't know how to watch a movie? Just sit here. I would, it would take a here? Cause I know how to watch a movie. Just sit here. I would, it would take a lot for me to leave the theater during a movie. I'm totally, I'm, I'm very nervous to miss minutes of a movie. Yeah. I mean you, it's not your remote, it's not your house. Like we don't have any, you know, freedom here.

We got to just stay here and watch it. We spent 11 bucks on this show. Yeah. Like I get, I get back. I'm like, what happened? What happened? You know? Yeah. Uh, his back, I'm like, what happened? What happened? You know? Yeah. His brother betrayed him. What? He was a social loyal character. Never saw that coming.

You know, whatever. It's like, yeah, I would hold it. You know, even if I get the biggest drink there is, I would hold that thing. I'd hold my bladder forever. It does sound like movies are back though. The theaters are back. It's getting there, I think. Yeah bladder for the forever. It does sound like movies are back though. It's getting there. I think.

Yeah. It sounds pretty cool. If, I mean, if it's packed in there. Yeah, it was, it was honestly really cool.

Apparently they're like, I mean, it's just, it's a very interesting story. Like, I don't know. It sounds like this, this,

this, it was filmed like five years ago and Disney had the rights to it and like, didn't want to release it for whatever reason. Really? And so like, yeah, there's all this very interesting stuff going on with it. Um,

and so it's like not being promoted like other movies are, but yet it's like selling more than the new Indiana Jones movie and stuff like that. So it's doing well. I've seen a lot of like Facebook stuff on this movie. Yeah. You know, there's a lot of people trying to politicize or trying to like act like it's q anon and stuff i'm like oh that's a stretch like what what's

it's it's about child sex trafficking and how that's bad and people are like i don't know if we should endorse this movie and i'm like what what are we what are we doing here so i haven't seen it i barely know what it's about but but yeah, it seems very, just like, it's very, there's a lot of tension around this movie. And people were like, yeah, I mean, why do you think Barbie and Oppenheimer coming out the same month?

That is, it's like, I don't know. I don't know. People are trying to connect those. Yeah. Yeah. They're like,

well, they want to bury sound of freedom. So that's why Barbie and Oppenheimer, you know, it's like, well, I mean, I don't know.

I think if they really had their way, they wouldn't have released Barbie and Oppenheimer. Wouldn't be the same weekend. They, I mean, I don't know. I think if they really had their way, they wouldn't have released. Barbie and Oppenheimer wouldn't be the same weekend. They wouldn't want to compete. They seem like block. Well, but then again, they're two different demographics probably that are going to those dude. There's a lot of people, me included.

Barb and Heimering. Oh, like a double feature back to back. Oh, it's a whole thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I've seen the tweet, like the, like the common meme or whatever, where it's like two different pictures, the same person, you know what I'm talking about?

Yeah. But it's like, one of them is like more serious. One of them is more playful. I'm trying to get Rachel to, I want to call it the sound of Barbenheimer. I want to do back to back to back one day, eat nothing but popcorn and, you know, wild cherry Pepsi. I mean, they have free refills on that stuff. If you get a big enough bucket, take it, stick it to the man.

Wow. That would be something. So maybe people can do that on grande boo, you know, before, before the man. Wow. That would be something. Maybe people can do that on Grande Boo before they... B&B theaters. Yeah. Just stay at B&B all day. Dude, Rachel and I got a little GeoGuessr kick last week, and we found a map that was just Kansas City.

So we're racing each other, just Kansas City GeoGuessr, and it popped us in the middle of the parking lot looking at something that said B&B Theaters. We're like, oh my gosh, it's where we're racing. Tishani, it was the one in Lee's Summit. Both got it way wrong. What do you mean by racing? Racing isn't like you're trying... What do you mean by racing?

We were just trying to click on the... Drop our pin. Okay, but what if you're both wrong? Then do you race again? How does it work? It's just like a game. You just try to get closer, right? Yeah, yeah.

I'm just trying to get closer and I was just trying to get it before Rachel did. Gotcha, gotcha. B&B Theater, Shawnee for the Grand Avenue. Yeah, Shawnee. Fun. Let's see what else we got here. We got a little bit of Main Tree Roasters.

You know about that? I do know about that. They're back for more. I enjoyed some, oh my gosh, what's it called? Jamaican Me Crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That flavor of it this morning. And boy, was it good.

Was planning on having one cup, add one, and I said, why not do another? So feeling real caffeinated today, thanks to Main Street Roasters. You guys know them, love them.

What kind of stuff?

I don't know. I want it to be more naturally like a birdhouse. We talked about doing the other day because the kids are really into birds. It's like, that'd be a fun thing. Just to teach them how to do generic or general tool stuff. Yeah, measuring, cutting.

Or if Bo really wants, once he becomes more consistently potty trained he gets his own bed he really wants a bunk bed and I'm like if you're gonna if we're gonna have one you're gonna help me make it yeah like I make your own toilet show me how potty trained you are right make sure you use a lot of sandpaper you know

don't get splinters a lot of grit yeah I just wrote down of like I wanted I just want to build more with them I think Hattie like still to this day always says when she grows up, she wants to be a woodworker. And so I'm like, okay, let's make that happen. Let's teach you how to do it. So that's a fun little goal. Anything. Did you ever build anything with your, with Brandon? A couple of times, maybe once. I think I'm trying to think, uh, we've made a little bench one time. Okay. I think out of like something recycled, like something that we got a story

or something. Yeah. I'm trying to think like plastic bottles or something. I melted down some plastic bottles. That's one that comes to mind. Yeah. I didn't grow up like doing a lot of that stuff, but I think it'd be fun to do with your kids and like show them like, okay, like, look, you can, you can be creative and make this however you want kind of thing. So I'm excited about it. Yeah. That's fun. Yeah. Good's fun. Good for them. I think we've only talked about this off the podcast, but when we had some shows in Florida, it was fresh

off of the wedding, right before the honeymoon. We got to play TPC Sawgrass. We had four shows down there. Our normal tour videographer wasn't able to come. Oh, that reminds me of something else. I'm going to write that down. Trey hired a new guy to come and shoot all the shows and to get all of our TPC Sawgrass footage.

This could be really big for mood swings. We're really excited about it. Top three courts in the country. Yeah. I'm really excited to see the footage. Totally. Who isn't? TPC especially, contractually, is excited to see the footage.

And no one has because this guy is claiming that all of the files have corrupted every single file. And so explain what that even means or how that works. So yeah, Trey was kind of talking to me about it and he was like, I mean this, could this be, and we're, you know,

I'm talking to Derek about it and it's like, dude, I've, I've been doing this. I've been shooting video for, I don't know, eight, nine years now.

I've never had a file corrupt. Derek's like, I had one once, but it was just like one specific file because I was trying to shoot 4K really slow motion. You know, then it kind of like glitches out on me. But he's like, a whole like weekend's worth, a whole hard drive's worth. Like they don't just corrupt like that. Like we saw him like editing on the bus. So it's like, I know they worked at one point.

Oh, wow. You saw them, like you saw Rav. Yeah. So like, we don't know what's going on. This guy, you know, like he's so hard to like i know they worked at one point oh wow you saw them like you saw rob yeah so like we don't know what's going on this guy you know like he's so hard to like talk to trey will like text him he won't respond for like three days and then he'll email trey and like hey sorry i message is being weird it's like yeah i message works really great on i message like is really really good at texting so you're probably just is being weird. You probably just use that. So Lucas was with us that weekend. This is kind of funny.

Lucas has no idea all this is going on. We see Lucas like three weeks later. He comes up to Trey. He's like, hey, it's kind of random, but the videographer that weekend, is he kind of hard to talk to? I've never been ghosted in my life, and this kid is ghosting me.

We all just start dying laughing. We're like, yes, dude. Yes, it's so funny that you're, because Lucas was like, hey, I would just love to see the footage of me performing, and he won't respond dying laughing. We're like, yes, dude. Yes, it's so funny that you're, because Lucas was like, hey, I would just love to see the footage of me performing. And he like won't respond to Lucas at all. Oh, wow. Okay.

And so it just, all sorts of, it's just been a nightmare. Just, you know, he keeps claiming like, I'm sending in this expert. And this guy was just like randomly found by, like how did,

he just kind of sent out some, okay. Angie's list or something. Just giving us the runaround. None of it seems legit. But we got to think of like, well, I do remember him taking a lot of stuff on his phone that day. Maybe he's got some phone stuff. And so Trey reaches out last week.

Hey, can you send us everything from TPC on your phone? Like we owe them content. He sends Trey some stuff from his phone. It took him like five days to send it, but we just got it yesterday. So Trey sends me and he's like, Well, because iMessage was being weird. Well, I mean, it's not that easy. Yeah.

It's not very reliable. And Trey's like, Hey, finally got some stuff back from, you know, what's his name? And I was like, great, how is it? And he goes, it's pretty brutal. And I was like, I said, that's amazing. I said, send me the worst thing that he sent you.

So we're going to show it on screen. All right. Three, two, one. A photo? What do you think? A photo? It's a photo of a tree, but like only like from. It's not even a good looking tree.

It's just like, there's no branches. It's just the bottom. It's just the nub of a tree. The stump of a tree the bottom 10 of a tree with like some mulch or whatever that stuff is around it some pine straw there's no like you can't tell we're at a golf course like it looks like a photo that's taken on accident right yeah like let's say you do take that before you're gonna take a video of this yeah like accidentally take a photo yeah like if that's the case and you have already screwed this entire project up so much why would you still send the accidental photo to train you know what's crazy too dude i'm really

doxing this guy actually i mean no one knows his name but dude a week ago so isaac follows him on instagram and so because none of us do we wouldn't have seen it. But Isaac's like, yo, you guys got to look at this. He posted a photo with Trey with his camera. It was like such an honor. Privilege. Get a shoot for Trey. Vid's coming soon. Like Vid's coming soon.

That's news to us. It was so hard for me. Did somebody respond? Like, can't wait to see. It was really hard for me and Trey not to comment. Like dude, truly can't wait to see him

send them right away vids coming soon send a preview send dude just send me the file names um what the photo is so you guys gotta look at this on youtube why would you why would you ever do that? It's so funny. It's just like, is he just not? Well, you guys had a theory that maybe he forgot to turn on his microphone. So that was me and Derek's theory. I've heard of people doing this like

you know, it's like a, I've heard of photographers being like, yeah, a little trick. You're shooting wedding photos like the lighting's a little off, the focus is a little off. Make it black and white. Make this a black and white photo. Now you can't tell it's overexposed because all the bright stuff is just white now. All the shadows are dark now. I've heard of other people saying like, oh yeah, this, a couple files corrupted whenever

like they screwed something up or whatever. Yeah. So, but it's the fact that it's the entire weekend. We're like, how did he do this? Like, did he not have his microphone on all weekend long? Did he not press record all weekend long like something even if it's a microphone you you still have a lot of footage exactly you have all the visual you could do some cool looking stuff that's true you can make a highlight reel narration or something you know like figure out something yeah so i don't we don't know what's happening we have a lot of theories trey has kind of just

given up at this point he's like dude like, dude, just yeah. Count your losses. Yeah. Just send me something from your phone. Like you're done kind of thing. That would be tough though. Like you don't want to be a jerk that's like, dude, I don't believe you. Cause what if it did? And he feels terrible about it. I know. But at the same time, it's like, if you didn't, and you're lying to me, tell me the truth. And we'd probably be a lot more gracious totally that and trey has tried to several times be like dude hey like mistakes happen like i get it just like shoot me straight and he's still still claiming yeah trey has said that multiple times like dude just just be real with me like what's going on and he'll respond four days later and be like i sent

them off to like this expert waiting to hear back it's like uh i mean i know like uh celia uh she was using some like different like whatever that camera is yeah in florida and she had some issues with that one right yeah which but that's different if you use a camera 50 years ago that only works on film you're gonna run into some issues right if you get hired to shoot high quality 4k video and you're using top of the line camera it doesn't just mess up yeah not yeah not four days worth yeah that's interesting uh anyway i really said that whole story just to show you that photo it's not necessarily just to like i don't know i can't poke fun of this kid i can't wait it let let me let that be like an inside joke within the podcast is like oh man had a great time today. Uh, my, my son,

this is Brandon. Uh, my son timing was in a play today and he did such a good job. And then just post a picture of a tree outside of the venue where time performed. This is the only photo I got. Oh, I love that. It's coming soon though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like a preview, preview post. Like I love the idea of like, oh, I had a great vacation with the family and then just like one sad picture of a tree. I'm not a big photo guy. This is all I was able to get, but my camera was there.

So vid's coming soon. The Bahamas honestly was a little bit overrated, you know, but we still managed to have a good time and just one picture of a tree. Just send us some tree pics, you know. Vid's coming soon. I mean, some tree pics, you know. It's coming soon. I mean, how many, yeah, whatever. I'm

imagining, hopefully, in my head, giving him the benefit of the doubt, he sent 40 pictures or 40 things that he just kind of scrolled through and selected all and sent them to Trey, and one of them happened to be that tree. But what a sign of just a lack of professionalism to not look over what you're sending. Or organization. Yeah. Yeah, Just oversight. Just like, yeah, here you go. Here's

everything. Maybe so. I did. This is all you have. You should make sure it's nice. He even, one of the other videos I didn't send this to you, Tymon, but he does have a video of me making like probably a 20 foot putt. So it's like, oh, that's kind of cool. I forgot I did that. But you don't get to see it go in because Trey Trey's like a leg is like standing in front of like him in the hole so like even like the quote like good stuff he got is still like well we didn't see it go in you kind of hear it but like you didn't see it go in and you guys were so pumped about it but yeah you don't see it yeah it's like you can hear us go whoa but you don't see it go in so it's just funny even the good stuff isn't that great so that's pretty funny

and yeah it's such an inside joke on the tour bus now i've just files corrupted and you know right isaac's like i had t-shirts corrupted tonight you know i'm not gonna sell anything gets corrupted now right that's amazing uh so funny speaking that real quick dj michael facetimed me uh before a show this weekend and uh he facetimed me and he's in the middle of just like you know dude perfect does stadiums you know and arenas and he's in the middle of this arena and uh he's just like yo why are people coming up to me right now and getting pictures with me saying i'm on your podcast he's like what's happening and uh i i screenshot it and i write it down my podcast notes and then immediately i get a dm from the the guy who just got a picture of michael i was like oh he just facetimed me like this is so fun and he uh anyway so yeah if you had to do perfect show keep going up to michael tell him DM from the guy who just got a picture of Mikel. I was like, oh, he just FaceTimed me. This is so fun. Anyway,

if you're going to do Perfect Show, keep going up to Mikel. Tell him you're a fan of the podcast. He's the man. So he's able to be approached? He DJs kind of out in the center of everyone. He's not on the stage, actually. Oh, cool. That's awesome. Yeah. He's just out in the midst. That's so fun.

I love just any kind of connections like that. Like whenever we mentioned Tate Unruh one time in a story, people are like texting him and he's like texting us like, yo, apparently you told a story about me on the podcast. Yeah, that's always fun. They get those texts from camp guys or whatever.

I guess any listener podcast now, you told the story of when I took a dump off the white slide. Shout out three random camp people. The first three that come to your mind right now. Let's go Preston Ramsey. Let's go Kay Smitty. Ty Gatewood.

Great. Good. Shout out to them. If you guys know them, you've got to text them. Hey, you've got a shout out this week. Brad, how do you feel about ending this episode with a jingle? No pressure. I feel great about it. But guess what?

I didn't prepare one because my boy Malachi keeps bringing the heat. I wrote another one for our golden boy here, Tymon. Oh, for Tymon to sing? No, about Tymon. Oh, okay. Like a rap. Yes, a rap about Tymon.

So Malachi keeps bringing the heat. Shout out to Malachi. Shout out to Malachi. Were you like honored by that? Has anybody ever written you a rap for Ghost Runners themed things before? A couple times. But never on Rap Chat though. That was your first Rap Chat song about you. It was great. I'm excited to hear it.

So we'll play that. It's a lyrical genius. Lyrical genius. And I'll save some of the good jingles for Grande Boo. Fun. Should we do our reviews of the week then? Yes. You do yours because I didn't prepare mine. I'm sorry.

Mine is from Nathan Coley, and it's a physical, tangible review. No way. That's fun. Look at this thing he got me. This dude's a stud. Look at this thing. He got me this picture frame, put it up on this camera here. It's every YouTube channel that he's watched me on. Look at this thing he got me. This dude's a stud. Look at this thing. He got me this picture frame, put it up on this camera here.

It's every YouTube channel that he's watched me on. And he was like, dude, I had this done a month ago, and then you launched Friday Pickleball, so I had to remake it. Wow, that is cool. He's been watching me since the Jake and Josh days, which would have been 2017, which was really fun. Which, Tymon, you think you might have seen some of those videos too, right? Oh, yeah. I watch Jake and Josh like fairly often.

Yeah. Yeah. In between bench making. It's crazy. Yeah. Brandon let him. It was fine. We were family friendly.

That's so funny. I need to appreciate that more. That's so wild that you watch his videos. Anyone did, but yeah, he's like, dude, I mean,

I follow you from Jake and Josh to trace stuff. And in between there, I was watching only bottle limo and whatever. I don't need to summarize it. Let me read you. Whoa. What he put on the back. Whoa. Dude. They think We Bought a Limo. Whatever. I don't need to summarize it. Let me read you what he put on the back. It's a two-sided picture frame? Yeah. That's awesome.

You found a way. Jake, there's no more appropriate way to open this than saying thank you. Thank you for the hundreds upon hundreds of hours of entertainment you've provided the world and for bringing a positive, hilarious energy to all of it. The communities you've been consistently able to build are just one part of what makes you an invaluable addition to whatever projects you're a part of.

And you're doing so in such a Christian manner, and you're doing so in such a Christian manner strongly elevates the significance of it all. Right there alone. That's a great review. Yeah. But there's more. It's beyond crazy finally getting a chance to meet you

after over seven years of following your content. It all started when you joined Jugglin' Josh to form what was undoubtedly my most watched channel in 2017. I specifically remember the trick shot battles you did with Brody Smith and Kelsey being some of my favorite stuff to watch repeatedly. Same with world record Wednesdays, man. And that was always so hard for me to say. So that's world record Wednesdays and the drive through challenges.

Nothing beat the country challenge. I will never not find I'm rushing home to eat at 20. I still remember the excitement of 31 days to 31K, even if it may not quite have gone as I'd hoped. Yeah, Josh and I were like, hey, we're going to post every day, 31 days. And I think we had like 18,000 subscribers. Can we get to 31,000?

And we gained like 4,000 and also lost 4,000. Oh, really? We like annoyed 4,000 people. We were like, this is too much. Yeah. And we, we gained like 4,000 and also lost 4,000. Oh really? We like annoyed 4,000 people. This is too much. Yeah. So we broke even that month. Um, and it was fitting that,

uh, I lost a consequence in that month and my punishment was having to do standup comedy is what Nathan Coley put in here. My 13 year old self was devastated when you left to work for another influencer, but I really had no clue what was in the future. Between that, Ellen We Bought a Limo happened. What a ride it was.

Pun intended. I loved checking in on the updates to the Instagram and YouTube pages and found the three of you absolutely hilarious. Up to and including the music video, which inspired a well-deserved appearance on Ellen. It was quick enough that may be overlooked, but man, it was fun. From there, I was so lucky to find Ghostrunners through an Instagram account. It took me enough that may be overlooked, but man, it was fun. From there, I was so lucky to find Ghostrunners through Instagram account. It took me until quarantine to become a regular listener, but boy, am I glad I did. This podcast has been the single

most consistent piece of media over the last three years of my life. What started out as a fun talk show between two friends, one of which I didn't know at all, has become a community and escape and an inspiration. Go off, Coley. Not to mention one of the first opportunities I had to put some of my creative skill into mutually beneficial use. There's so much that makes it special to me. The same could be said for hundreds of thousands of other listeners.

It's been a reliable source of levity when life becomes monotonous, of joy when life turns sour, of inspiration when life seems intimidating. Go off, Nathan. Keep going. Thank you so much for the opportunity to make the thumbnails for the episodes

and taking a chance on some random guy who happened to send an instagram dm a couple years ago for the first year of listening to ghost hunters i tended to stick to that until i finally acted on the knowledge that you were trey's videographer and checked out that channel at first searching specifically for correct opinions episodes with you in it but eventually falling in love with the whole thing after middle school maddox i've now realized that so much of what drew me to that channel was owed to your skills with crafting comedic content, obviously on top of Trey's fantastic ability to capture nearly any character

he plays. Your subtle camera movements, fast paced editing and joke distribution were very much appreciated, especially once I knew to look for them. I've loved listening to new correct opinions episodes while working. It's distinct from ghost runners, but the dynamic between you and Trey and now Katie tends to be just as enjoyable.

There's more, but I think that's pretty solid. Oh, you gotta finish it. Should I finish it? Yeah, finish it off. It's just so much. Kola, you're the man. And then came Gene Schwartz, a channel which gripped my attention incredibly quickly. The initial dynamic of you, Brad, and Trey was something new enough to retain initial investment.

In parentheses, I think I watched Brad's behind-the-back vase throw from People Pleasers Part 2 at least once a month. And the gradual shift to just you and Brad felt incredibly natural, eventually culminating in last December's well, I don't even know this word, cavalcade.

Oh. Good word, Nathan. Heard of it. Let me command space bar and check that out. Eventually culminating. A formal procession of people walking on horseback or riding in vehicles. A formal procession. Go ahead. What does it say?

Eventually culminating in last December's cavalcade of Christmas comedy, which brings to your and Brad's message and the excitement with which I shared the news to friends and family. Nor will I forget how nervous I was when I got to talk strategy with you over the phone. That was just so surreal to me and you were so helpful in guiding me through the process. Editing those videos for you guys is truly an experience I will always hold on to. It was such a privilege. So again, a huge thank you for being willing to take a chance on me again. So yeah, he even told me in person.

He's like, dude, editing videos for you guys has got to be one of the highlights of my life. Wow. It was so, so fun to get to do that. Dude. So, it was fun. He goes on to talk more about mood swings and Friday Pickleball and just thanks me more. So, Nathan, you're the man. What a gift.

This is really, really cool. Seriously, yeah. Really thoughtful of you to do this. Dang, dude. All right, Brad, what's your review of the week? Mine is from Nathan Cooley. No, it's from Morgie. How am I supposed to? I feel like I shouldn't even respond. No, this one's great.

Follow. Morgie Loves Owls. Morgie Loves Owls says, caution, do not listen while driving. It's a five-star review. I was listening to an episode today on my commute. Lots of laughter and smiles, but I definitely wasn't paying close attention to my driving. Apparently, when you're really laughing, enjoying yourself, you naturally speed up.

Anyway, I got pulled over going 76 in a 55 mile per hour zone, and the officer didn't seem to care that it's because I was so entertained. I recommended the pod to him. So now let's see if I can convert officer Schwartz to ghosty status. If so, the ticket might be worth it. I've been a listener since episode 11. If you aren't listening yet, set your cruise control and hit play ghosty Morgan. That's pretty awesome. Episode 11. Yeah, it's a long time. I just, yeah, I feel bad for getting pulled over. That is a bummer. Yeah. I gotta be able be able to still do both. By a long shot, too. It's not like, oh, I was going 10 over. Sorry, distracted.

Yeah, from episode 11 to 246. Wow. Pretty cool, Morgie. Also, Brad, you got a gift. Hattie got a gift from a ghostie this weekend. Betsy and Tacey. There's a note in there for, I think, Hattie and your whole family. Cool.

I know about Betsy and Tacey. I can't remember if we've ever read. Fun. Thank you. Whoever. I forget the ghostie's name,. I can't remember if we've ever read. Fun. Thank you. I forget the ghost's name, but there were so many great ghosties this weekend. Didn't have too much trouble with security. They would kind of move us along quickly, but they were never rude and everybody was nice. And some ghosties gave me cheese curds. One ghostie asked me if he could take off his pants because he was wearing jean shorts underneath.

And we took a photo. Haven't seen that picture yet, but yeah, he had like American flag short jean shorts on. I was like, cool, let's get a jean shorts pic. Cool. He wore two pairs of, yeah, undergarments. Yeah. For the photo. So I was glad I got to meet him. Yeah, really. He's like waiting in line. He's like, please don't kick us out yet. Please come.

I am sweating so much down there. So great weekend, Great week. Ghosts are the best. Ghosts are the best. Check out Grande Boo tickets. Yeah. Boo 25.

Someone just posted. Josh Katz, my man. He said the 25% group discount code has convinced me to buy tickets to Grande Boo. I'm looking for two other people who want to go in with me on tickets. Perfect. Okay. So it's working. Boo 25.

That's right. Boo 25. If you have four more, get 25% tickets. Perfect. Okay. So it's working. Boo 25. That's right. Boo 25. If you have four more, you get 25% off. Yeah. We love big groups. Oh, and last thing I said, I put publicly, hey, if you buy a Grande Boo ticket, I will mention you on stage. Oh my gosh. I did do it. Let's talk about it on Wednesday. Okay.

Okay. I was just going to say, I don't have the footage yet, but I will post it. Okay. That's really all there is. Just like a place holder. Yeah. footage yet, but I will post it. Okay.
