This morning I went to Chick-fil-A breakfast and we'll talk about we talk about the trains that are always in the way later. Okay, that's we'll table that. Yeah, poultry of the week. But first of all, you know, I text you guys. Hey, I'm running a Chick-fil-A. You guys want anything? It's 845 a.m. Timon goes. Yeah, waffle fries, Chick-fil-A sauce. All right. I thought he was like being clever. I was like, good one, Tymon. What do you mean? I was pretty sure it wasn't available, but I asked anyway. Oh, you did? Yeah, I was like, can I get some waffle fries? And they're like, we don't start serving those until a normal hour,

you freak. Yeah, maybe this is your first time at Chick-fil-A, buddy. And I was like, even for a high schooler? There's this homeschooled kid. He doesn't know. Yeah, this sweet kid. He doesn't get to eat this very often. It would mean a lot to him. Yeah, his mom let him out of the house this one day. No.

No, hash browns. It's not the same. Different kind of potato. Anyway, get to the window, though, and Domi's working. And it was good to see her again. Yeah. Because I saw her before I left last weekend and told her i'm going to chicago and because i knew that's where she's from and so she is i thought we'd talked about yeah yeah oh cool i think she's originally from mexico yeah i guess yeah that's

the way she speaks yeah it's not a chicago accent yeah she's pulled a sausage she had lived in chicago recently and so okay she's asking me, how was it? How was it? And I was like, oh, it was awesome. You know, we had a lot of fun. And then she was just like, you know, where do you sleep? Where do you sleep? It was like, oh, we actually sleep on this bus.

Okay, okay. Where do you shower? Where do you shower? I'm like, oh, we do this. And I had all these questions. There's a line behind me. Who cares? And then she's like, and that's all you do in Chicago?

I was like, no, we did Milwaukee, Minneapolis. And she was like, oh, you're famous, famous. And I was like, no, no, no, I'm not famous. Vibe immediately changed. She's like, don't be so negative. Don't be so negative. No, it's okay.

Why are you being so negative? That's amazing. Why are you so negative? Well, I think you're famous. I think that's fine. I was going to make waffle fries for you. I don't know why I turned her Russian. She turned a little Scottish there.

You want waffle fries? No problem. Anyway, yeah, it was just kind of funny. I thought it was just a fun conversation. I'm going to show some humility. No, I'm not famous. What is your deal? We are losing her accent completely. What is your deal? And are losing her accent completely.

What is your deal? And then she looked at me. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down. With some random thoughts in white. Me too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet.

Because this is the Ghost from the Spotcast. Everybody, come on in. We're it's the Ghost Runners Podcast. Every Monday morning, we're taking round Ghost Runners Podcast. Ghost Runners Podcast. But yeah, I've just been very annoyed recently. There's a train that kind of runs through Shawnee. I feel like lately, the train is really coming through. But as much as I want to be annoyed, good for the train industry. Sure.

You know, hey, TVs come out. People say goodbye radio. Radio hangs around. Streaming comes out. They say goodbye DVDs. Those actually are. That's pretty rough. See a blockbuster.

But the trains, we still have a use for them. Turns out it's hard to ship coal on an airplane. Is that what we're doing with trains mainly? Is it coal? Yeah. I don't know. Time of year on a train, what did they ship? Well, on my train, it wasn't...

It was people. I don't think it was coal. Yeah. Unless that's the back car. Well, some boys are named coal. Yeah, yeah. That's true. My nephew's name is coal.

There were a lot of boys on this train. Okay. Tell us about the boys train. It was a boys train. I think it was like a lot of boys. I think a Boy Scouts group and some kind of like boys camp group. Oh, literally boys. They were taking the train.

Yes, a lot of boys. Yeah. We didn't boys. Oh, yeah. I listened to a lot of conversations unintentionally, but just like it was fun. Yeah. Yeah. It was a boys train. you were coming back from illinois yeah visiting family oh yeah first time on a passenger train actually my second or third uh third at least yeah okay yeah we have a tradition

like where my grandma takes each of her grandkids when they turn seven on some kind of train ride okay wow that is pretty fun yeah was it like a scenic like with your grandma was like a scenic train ride um no just like generally because a lot of my family lives in illinois but we live in kansas city obviously and so a lot of the time the people that live in illinois she takes to kansas city okay but um for us it's like we just like i can't remember how it was. I might have been in Illinois. Then my family went home. I stayed there, took the train back.

I don't know. I usually go to the zoo. It's fun. Nice. Ooh, train ride to the zoo. Train ride. There's a train at the zoo. That's true.

Yeah. More train. Because the zoo in Kansas City is so spread out, like in a negative way. And so you have to take a train to get to the different areas of it. Yeah. What was I going to say? You know, Isaac's brother was on the train at Civil War City like last year when it fell over.

It fell over? Yeah, like it got off the tracks basically and just like fell to one side. I kind of vaguely remember hearing something, but I didn't realize it fell. Wow. It was connected to the East Palestine train derailment. It was the same thing. Yeah, it was all the same. It was the same day. Yeah, a bunch of toxic chemicals. No, but I didn't realize it felt. Wow. It was connected to the East Palestine train derailment. It was the same thing. It was all the same. It was the same day.

Yeah. A bunch of toxic chemicals. No, but yeah. They were on the train when it like derailed. So our city crazy. I would be, I would be very scared if that happened. Like, yeah, you had his kids on. I, uh, I went to Disney world, one of the Disney world down in Florida and they did this thing where it was like supposed to be supposedly obvious, but when you're a 10 year old, you don't know it. You're on this little train and they're like taking you by where they do like all these stunts and fire and stuff for like, you know, Hollywood and all of a

sudden all these like fire starts going off and the train starts rocking back and forth. They're like, excuse me, please stop it. We, we have, we have passengers on the train. Oh, you're like, oh no, I start crying. We have passengers on the train. I started crying. Stop it! I remember I was sitting next to my Aunt Norma and I buried my head in Aunt Norma's shoulder. I was like, oh, I'm so scared. So I would be very scared if the train

fell over. Trains are scary. Yeah. What was the... Why train versus airplane, you think? It's a lot cheaper, I think. Is it? Yeah, it was like. I feel like my experience with trains are expensive.

Really? I mean, if it's like, if I was just like driving, let's say myself, like gas, a train costs like slightly less. Okay. It's like, it's just me, you know. Did you, was it like an overnight? No, just like a five-ish hour ride. Yeah.

Yeah. It was super fun. It was just like. Five hours? Yeah. Or five and five-ish hour ride. Yeah, it was super fun. Five hours? Yeah. Or five and a half, I think. To Illinois? From Illinois, Galesburg, Illinois to Kansas City.

Really? Yeah. I just looked up train tickets to Chicago. Yeah, you can get up to like 60 bucks. Yeah. Kansas City, Chicago. That's not bad. It's a fun way to travel.

You can get a lot done. You're not driving yourself anywhere. That's nice. Yeah. Also, real quick, you said one of the Disneys, and it think of like yeah epcot's a weird name what is epcot it stands for some something city like i didn't even know it was an acronym or something like yeah basically experimental prototype community of tomorrow yeah well disney that was his whole thing was like he wanted to build a city he wanted to build his own land, basically. And he didn't want certain people

in it with him. That was his thing. Wait, what? The Baltic Sea controversy. A little bit. Oh, really? Anti-Semitism. Oh, okay. Yeah. I never understood that. I don't get it either. Yeah. Is it just where we grew up? There's like five Jews in the Midwest. I still just don't understand. Is it even wrong to say Jew? I don't think it is. I don't know how you can even be prejudiced. I don't know if someone's...

I don't know. No one looks different to me. Like a white person that's Jewish and a white person that's not Jewish. A kid named Brad Kessler was in... I don't know if it's weird to say his full name, was in my high school. He was Jewish. He had red hair.

I don't think of Jewish people as having red hair. I would have never known. And for a long time, I didn't even know that you could be like ethnically Jewish. And I was just like, how do you know that that person practices Judaism? You know, when I would hear about this, you know, probably up until like high school or something. Either way, the whole, that's a weird prejudice for me to even comprehend. Agreed.

Very confusing. But yet, Walt Disney from Kansas City. A lot of people. Yeah. A lot of like famous people have something out for the Jews. Why? I don't get it. I don't know. Don't ask me. I don't get it. So. I want to find reasons why. No.

Seriously. Comment below. What are the reasons? Oh, yeah. There is like an area of Kansas City that has like a Jewish community center and all that stuff, and they seem fine to me. Is it tight? It's Blue Valley. Oh, yeah. I've been there.

They call it the J the juice oh yeah the j yeah i think i played basketball there at the j it's great yeah should do our wins of the week start off wins of the week baby what's yours i have one my kids in general are my wins of the week almost always but i have one for each of my children i'll go from i'll go in descending order. So Hattie, um, where'd it go? Oh, Hattie, uh, did a great,

she's doing a great job at swimming. She's not fully like swim trained. So the word, um, but she like at the beginning of the summer would not put her head underwater. That's just like Hattie for you. Like, and now she's like going under head underwater, no floaties,

much more confident. And I kind of like taught her that, um, as well as shout out good ranchers. Every time I grill, she's always the biggest fan of me. She's always like, dad, I love when you grow. So when a week for her, uh, when a week for Bo is he went to preschool and he went to the bathroom twice and none of those times were in his underwear. That's great. Win of the week for him. And then Rosie, a milestone for her, is just yesterday she started walking on two feet.

Ooh, finally. So win of the week. Yeah, I know. It was one of those things where it was like, I mean, I'm sure she'll do it eventually. She's got to wait for it. And Delaney Duckworth, Gunnar's daughter, is whatever, maybe, I don't know,

two weeks different from Rosie and been walking for months. Same with Rachel's niece too. Oh yeah, Lucy. It's one of those things where if this was your firstborn, maybe you'd be a little more worried about it. Yeah. But by Rosie, you're just like, ah, she'll figure it out. I think all our kids are a little bit late in that

and it's like, whatever. I don't know. What am I supposed to do? They're walking now. Yeah. So anyway, she's walking and it's cute. It's fun. You can tell how proud she is of herself. Yeah, I'm excited They're walking now. Yeah. So anyway, she's walking and it's cute. It's fun. You can tell how proud

she is of herself. Yeah. I'm excited to see her walk. Yeah. Kids growing up. Growing up without me. I got to stop leaving town. That's right.

I miss these things. My win of the week is Zane. And then win of the week 1B is Zane still being alive. Let me tell you a couple things. One, he came to the shows this past weekend. We had a new DJ working with us. Zane happens to be friends with him. He's friends with a couple things. One, he came to the shows this past weekend.

We had a new DJ working with us. Zane happens to be friends with him. He's friends with all of us. He's like, I just want to be there and hang out with you guys. Which DJ Cameron was awesome. He was grooving up there. He would actually dance. He was more like dancing more than DJing. It was awesome. He was just like, he would do like 360s. No way. He would do a 360

and then hit like a DJ button on the beat drop. We were loving Cam. We'd be in the middle of golf. I'm like, I can't wait for Cam's set tonight. I'm going to be on the crowd. That's fun, dude. That's so fun. He was great. Zane was awesome. It was great to have him there. The night he got there,

he got stuck behind a train. Or no, it was the bridge moving. Whatever. It doesn't matter. He finally gets there. It's while I'm performing. I'm in the i'm performing and he has a bite of something in his mouth and then he takes a drink of something and starts to choke can't talk can't breathe like no air is coming out of him he's pointing to like the back he's like looking at trey like pointing to the back of him like he needs the heimlich so trey while I'm performing just side stage just gives him the Heimlich

coughs it up he's good to go did you see it? no no you didn't like no way but yeah so Trey just gave him the Heimlich

and then 15 minutes later just popped out there and did like an hour long set yeah like it was nothing yeah just saved this guy's life no problem

that's crazy was it because you made a hilarious joke as he was drinking something and he kind of inhaled in? Nice, dude. It was that. Yeah, so thankful that Zane's alive. It would have been a bummer for Weekend had he choked and died. Yes, that would have put a damper on it all.

Yeah, but it was fun having him. I'm glad he came. Yeah, that was funny. Basically, I had forgotten to text Zane back and yesterday I mentioned that Gunner was hanging out with Zane all weekend in San Diego. And you're like, what? I hung out with Zane all weekend.

No, he's with me. I was like, what? Because Gunnar texted me. Yeah, I'm going to San Diego for Zane Callister's bachelor party. He never had one. You know, he's been married for a while. And I was explaining this to Jake. And Jake's like, dude, no.

Like he was hanging out with me all weekend. He definitely was not in San Diego Diego I don't know why Gunnar said that turns out I think Zane and Gunnar were pulling a fast one on me because I hadn't texted Zane back unintentionally Zane and so Gunnar's like okay I'll get him back here and do this

but even when you called Gunnar I feel like he didn't fully give us the reason yeah he was very loyal to Zane that's my theory of what happened. I guess we haven't confirmed for sure. We still don't fully know. Yeah, Gunnar's like, I'll have to tell you in person.

I can't tell you over the phone. I was like, okay. So, yeah, I don't know what that's about. So we'll air out the grievances here, Zane. Yeah. What happened? Zane, why'd you lie about San Diego? Yeah.

You know what Zane was telling me too is he still uses body wash. Isn't that crazy? Come on, Zane. He's not using soap made from goat's milk from a teenager oh like I am goat soap yeah from QP goat soap what Zane I don't know why talk to him about it he's a real dingus when it comes to hygiene I should say so I can't imagine his detergent being from them either I can't imagine it's smelling real good you know whatever

he's using sure he has dry skin when he leaves the shower or bath. He probably takes a freaking bath. Or it's not even that clean. No. Whatever he's doing, he needs to switch to QP Goat Soap. QPGoatSoap.com. Get in on it. Quinn's the man. He's got his own goats. He

like hey been hitting the bottle again if i ever say that no that i'm in a really dark spot yeah jake that's not you that's not you man i've heard this come from yeah if you don't if you don't know about quinn's goat soap uh they make real soap. It's old school, hand-poured, made from scratch with lye oils, essential fragrance oils. Old school means the soap cleans while moisturizing in a way most commercial bars simply don't. By design, there's a big hole of blue in the soap industry. You know I don't love that word.

I just need to be honest, though. That's what's going on. You needed to say it. They are purposely trying to make your skin more dry so that you have to use their other products. Hola Baloo.

I mean, Jake, your time may come, but for whatever reason, I have three friends that

all wrote songs in honor of Brad. Okay. So I figured we could watch. There's videos to go with them. Oh, wow. Perfect. Yeah. That's a lot of effort.

Watch, watch, slash, listen, all three of them. And then the Facebook group can vote which they like best. Okay. A little competition. Yeah. Okay. So tell me a little bit about the background of these friends. Are they, what's your connection to them?

All through Greenleaf where I do theater and acting. Okay. The bar is higher. These guys are the real deal. They know what they're doing. Yeah. This is not their first, you know, video for a podcast that they've ever done. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. So we can go ahead. All right. Who we got first here? YouTube doesn't have his profile picture. That's nice. He's committed.

KP identity, hidden. Unless you're on Patreon. So we have the first one by Graydon. Oh, yeah, Graydon. He's been featured on the pod. Okay. Whoa. This is like a legit production, dude.

Okay, let's see. Here we go. Shout out to Brad. This one's for you. Dude, that's God bless. Brad, you're my number one pick. I would put you before Chris Tomlin. I got the uniform red, white, and blue.

I'll even bring my jean shorts too. He's wearing a tuxedo and a bow tie. This is great. I guess you can play the guitar. It's no piano, but that's fine and all. You're probably better than Jimi Hendrix. So good, in fact. I bet you know under all.

Nice. It's not common at all. Do you write the piano and everything? Yeah. Oh, yeah. B is for reading your Bible. R is because you're so rad. A is for not so athletic. Whoa.

Whoa, wait. Oh, wait. Great. Well, D, D is for dad. You're a dad. And no, you're not bad at being a dad. She's looking right into the camera, right into your eyes. Brad, good job getting married.

Thank you. The married life seems very nice. And the time it took Jake to do it. You probably could have done it twice. That's a great shot. He took cartwheels in the backyard. Lifted his two and a half pound weight. He got a little warm doing this.

He got the jacket. Strings. B is for big and beautiful. R is for right about everything. A is for right about everything. A is for not being Jake. And D is for not being Jake. Oh, D.

D is for dad. You're a dad. And no, you're not bad at being a dad. A. D. Wow. Oh, here we go. The layering. Wow.

Shutting the refrigerator like the camera's been in there the whole time. Okay, Graydon. Holy cow. Start us off strong. There was a lot of work put into that. Yeah. I also wonder, this dude's going to become really successful someday, like four years from now, he's going to be on The Tonight Show, and he's going to

look back at his old YouTube channel like, oh my gosh, I forgot. I made a video about a podcast. What was I thinking? Yeah, totally. Next up, we have Oliver. This one's called Bradad's song okay oh okay i can't believe this this is i mean he's got a videographer for this one this is gorgeous this is your house timing in the realm of podcast where the voice takes flight, there's one that rules with captivating

might. With wisdom and laughter, he takes the lead. Brad Ellis, the host we all need. His schmores could be time and violence, like, cause he likes normal smells unlike horses. Why should he try to convince us that his picks are the very best we all know that it's just left unaddressed brad brad i know you're not one to boast but brad brad table's on my antidote For my lack of creativity I'm trying to make a symphony for you

For you, oh Brad I heart Brad in the same. Dude, can I just say, Ginzy's gonna be just fine. If they're like Oliver and Graydon. Yeah, I mean, America's in great hands. Gen Z, they got all the talent in the world. This is crazy.

I mean, isn't it amazing? I know that they put in a lot of work in that, but also the technology these days, they could whip that up pretty quick. Maybe. You know what I mean? Back in the day, we had to record it, and then it was even hard to even get it on a computer to like edit anything i seriously like there's less barriers to entry yeah to get something like that but still

still i mean writing songs that's the part to me i'm like that i would take so long to write the melody to a song and then compose it in garage band or whatever they're doing yeah i don't know if i could i'm super impressed. Do you think they're recording like, you think that was their original piano track? Yeah, yeah. These are all except for the last one, Zach. He has more of a beat that he

found. Okay. But everyone else made their own music. Zach has composed himself elements. Really? Yeah. Because even, I mean, Graydon for sure, he had a ton of like compression on his voice. Like he knows what he's doing like post-production and audio. I helped him out a little bit with that. Oh, okay, okay.

But yeah, no, he definitely knows what he's doing. Yeah. Okay. Last up. Do the Brad dance. Do the Brad dance. All right. I already like this one.

What is this? What are we looking at right here? This is a backdoor of Funky Town. Zach recorded this when he was in Florida. Oh. He went to Florida for this? It's a commitment, man. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Florida just this when he was in Florida. Oh, golly. It's a commitment, man. Florida just for this. Okay, here we go. Don't do something bad, listen to Brad His voice is angelic, please don't eat, smell it

All you goopsies out there know what I mean Brad has a voice better than Adam Levine I hear his jokes and it makes me wanna dance So get on your feet and take a good stance Do the Brad dance, do the Brad dance Do the Brad dance, do the Brad dance The deep voice But then what do I do with this time in between Brad dance. Brad dance. Brad dance. The deep voice. Yeah.

But then what do I do with this time in between? When I can't hear his voice and I can't hear him sing. What do I do with this time on my hands? So dramatic. Will I survive without the voice of this man? Why is he so dressed up? Then he pops and it's time to celebrate. I see notification and everything is great.

Hip hip hooray for the man that he is. Being so cool is his business. Spiral. You need to try Adobe's new AI software. That was great, man. There you go. That's Zach, Oliver, and Graydon

Oliver and Zach yeah Gen Z is amazing I'm so just amazed that was so fun okay yeah but yeah

well someone will put a I mean yeah we'll put a thing in the Facebook group we got Graydon first yeah Oliver was second Zach was third

yeah and I mean maybe timing you can even like if you post to the Facebook group and have these like unlisted links in there they can watch them them. Oh yeah. You know, themselves, because they want to watch the videos. Yeah, absolutely. Wow. I'm, I'm impressed by your friends timing. And I, I'm sure you could do something very well. You did something recently

on your Instagram time. That was like, yeah, the train ride. No, no. Well, I was like, well, and I was like, oh, yeah, he did do the train ride thing. That was cool, too. I'm thinking of like that random thing you posted. I'm trying to think. Wasn't that you? I think it was. It was like. It went like, you need to try.

No, I thought you did something like. I'm trying to think. With your brother. Oh. I mean, it was like, what did I just watch? My brother and Oliver, who was one of these people who made this random, like just short film thing. Zach actually wrote it in five minutes. Yes. That's what you were like. Yeah. Filmed in five minutes, you know? Yeah. I called Zach. I was like, I was like,

we want to film something. I'll call you back in five minutes. Have me something, have me a screenplay. And so he wrote this like random thing and then we recorded it in like 15 minutes. I edited in like 15 minutes. Dude. Yeah. It's amazing what he edited in 15 minutes. You should watch it. Should we watch it right now? I just know that Gen Z is going to be just fine. That's all I, that's my main takeaway is like, they're, they're all so talented. Yeah. Do you want to pull up that real quick? Sure. We're already, we're already doing this thing. Oh yeah. It's easy enough to pull up. I mean, it was just like, it's so randomly weird, but at the same time, it was like,

Tymon, that's impressive that you edited and did this in 15 minutes, basically. Okay, here it is. Let's see. Listen, I know it has been hard. It's been more than hard. Okay, well, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. Sorry doesn't cut it. You left me alone in a room filled with... balloons.

It was her birthday. It was a surprise party. You were supposed to have fun. You know I hate balloons! How would I know that? You don't remember? We were at the Macy's Day Parade, and they all let go of their balloons. And I peed myself white. Don't laugh at my agony. What else do you want me to do? I'm paying for your intensive psychotherapy.

And I bought you a wife, and I warmed up all of your socks. I was like, what did I just watch? But at the same time, I was impressed that it was very quickly done. This was high school humor. If I did that with my friends, I would be dying laughing at that. It's like a high schooler with a little chat GPT in there, I feel like. And then, dude, Oliver's good. That was great shooting and editing, too.

Thank you. Yeah, shot on just an iPhone with the fake cinematic blur. What does that mean? There's like a cinematic function. It's just like cinematic mode. Oh, yeah, okay. Gotcha. You have that on your phone?

We can go cinematic? Yeah, when you said fake cinematic blur, I didn't know what that meant. Well, I'm just saying it's not. It like artificially blurs the background. Like an actual camera, it like blurs it because of the way the lens is made. Ah, sure. F stops? Yes, the aperture.

Yeah, good job. Very good. I'm a film guy. Those short films and musical videos have been brought to you by Beam because they were all amazing. They were very amazing. I had some B&B amazing this morning, actually.

As did I. What flavor did you have? What did I even have? I think it was the pink lemonade. Yeah, that one I need to get some more. I've been vibing on some berry. Berry. Yeah. Berry, berry good.

You can dream it. So good. I have a story from this weekend. So at one of the shows, I guess it would have been the Milwaukee show, Friday night.

I'm, you know, I think it was the night I got cheese curds as a gift. Someone's given me, you know, a book for a Hattie. Someone,

yeah, they took their pants off and, you know, they showed me their jean shorts. And then on top of all that, these other ghosties are talking to me. Oh, this might've been the cheese curd people. And they were like, they had a Ziploc bag

and inside of it was a thing of detergent. And- A thing of detergent, meaning? Like a- Like powder? Like a bottle. Okay. Of detergent, a tub Like powder? Like a bottle. Okay. Of detergent. A tub?

Yeah. Yeah, bottle. Anyway, it's a company that's not QP Goat Soap, so I'm not going to mention them by name. Sure. But it's a detergent I've worn or used on my clothes. Anyway, so they were like, hey, so this is kind of a long story, but basically we met you at the Green Bay show about a year and a half ago. We were ghosties.

We gave you a big hug, and we both got in the car afterwards and said wow jake smells amazing we both talked about it thought that and so we heard you on the podcast we went out and bought the detergent but we swear ours tastes different or sorry ours smells different than how you smelled last year so we wanted to bring you our detergent and could you smell it and see if like this is the right smell i was like that's amazing i was like you can't google a smell oh yeah yeah yeah it's got to come straight to the source i get it yeah and so everyone else in line behind me gets me that i'm just like huffing this thing and like i'm just gonna pass out security's like looking at me like it's fine and so i smelled i'm like that's how i'm supposed to smell i'm sorry like that's the good stuff i'm

like well we don't really like do you want it and i was like i gotta fly home so i can't really use this like all right we'll take it. So that was kind of fun. It's kind of just a funny post-show story. The very next morning, I'm in Minneapolis. Hey, I'm getting a phone call. Let's take it. Hey, this is Jake.

Hello there. Hello. Oh, hi. Sorry. Hello, sir. Yeah. My name is Sam. I was calling you about the property

located at Olayta, and I was wondering if you might be interested in a cash offer. If I would be interrupted with a cash offer? Sounds like a great interruption. Okay. Can you tell me your asking price? Oh, you're wanting to buy my house. Yes,

sir. Amazing. Oh, great. Yeah. Did you have a number in mind? It's not really for sale, but for the right price. Okay. Do you have an asking price? Do you have an offering price? It depends on the condition. I just need

to check the condition of the roof, kitchen, and bathroom. I would say, I actually had those checked recently and I got five stars on them. So they're all in really good shape. Yeah. Okay, sir. Can you tell me how old is the roof?

Six days, seven days? It's six or seven days, I think. We just got it. Okay, sir. Perfect. Okay, can you tell me more on the property? Is it occupied? Do you live in it or is it rented, vacant?

I heard the word concubine in there somewhere. Can you say that again? Is the property rented or vacant? Or do you live in it? Oh, got it, got it, got it. It is rented. Okay, for how much? That is personal. What is your offer price for the home itself?

Actually, my acquisition manager is preparing an offer for you right now, and he is going to call you back tomorrow at evening or morning, whatever you like. Evening or morning. That covers it. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. When you wish the call back, evening or morning? Oh, let's do morning. Yeah. Yeah, I'll do my best negotiating. Okay, so why are you considering selling the property?

Oh, because of this phone call, honestly. I was not planning on selling it until you called just now. So I would say this is the reason I'm considering. Okay, so what makes you interested right now on selling it until you called just now. So I would say this is the reason I'm considering. So what makes you interested right now in selling it? I think when you said your house in Olathe and then you said cash offer

and just your overall intensity to get a good home just got me excited. Okay. So you're looking for a cash offer? I know it's rare, but I would accept a cash offer. Yeah, you go ahead.

Yeah, go back to it. I think the house is in very good condition. Time and... Oh, it is in very good condition. Yeah. Yeah. So you're looking for the right house. Okay, got it, sir. Yeah, you and your family... Do you have a app okay got it sir yeah you and your family you and your family

are going to love this house I have no doubt that your intentions are pure thanks sir but we are rental company actually I'm not the one

who is going to buy the house from you so when well that makes me sad my partner is going to call you back okay

tomorrow at the morning at the number 417-830- Oh, okay. Great. That works. That works. I will talk to you in the morning. I love the idea of her just giving out your number. Number 417?

It was the random moment when she suddenly became possessed. giving out your number to everybody. Number 417? The random moment when she suddenly became possessed. Simon got the robot voice. That would have been funny, Simon. I guess the effect's probably on my microphone, but if you would have just changed her voice. That's interesting. I don't know.

What is that scam? I don't know if it's a scam. I think it's just, I think the scam is that they probably would give you a lot less than what you should be for your house and then they would resell it. Gotcha. I feel like people are sending letters like that to people all the time.

Cool. Yeah. Anyway, the detergent things happens at night. The very next morning, I'm at, gosh, you've already called me twice since then. She wants this house. Probably because six-day roof. Who wouldn't? Six days. I mean, that's a great roof. We just put it on. I love the idea of it. My hands were still tarred.

It's still a little sore. Still got that new roof smell. Yeah, you're going to love it. You should tan up there. The very next morning, I'm in Minneapolis early morning Connor Kelderman we're getting coffee and I'm in line with him to order coffee and a guy taps me on the arm behind me I whip around behind me and he is very close to me yeah talked a little bit like that woman on the phone and he was like what kind of cologne are you wearing and I was like oh I'm actually I'm not wearing any cologne yeah he's like yes you are dude it. Dude, it permeates, dude. Yeah. It's amazing. No, it's just, it's just the detergent.

Uh-huh. It really is. And he's like, that is so good. And it was like still pretty close to me. It was like kind of funny, but also I kind of got a kick out of it. So yeah, twice in 12 hours, big detergent. Oh, yes. Yeah.

Never had that before. Just a stranger in public. Hey, what is this amazing smell on you? People are really obsessed with smells up there in Milwaukee. Was it Milwaukee? The next morning was Minneapolis, just the Midwest. Like they just like it. You know, they, they haven't smelled much besides like beer and cheese up there, you know, and they don't have much to look at. So they want to heighten their nose. Sure. A little bit. Exactly. So anyway, wow. So you're a smell influencer. Yeah. Maybe business Brad to go

to work. I know we've kind of tried with this company and they're a little old school, but yeah, I I've tried and I'll, I'll try again. Yeah. Business Brad, business Brad put on my business cap. What's that? Yeah. Um, I had a dream this past week. I just been a time and heavy episode, but I'm going to talk about timing again. I dreamt that time and quit. Oh no. I walked in, you know, I think it was like a Wednesday. We're going to record and I'm like, where's timing? And you go, dude, you didn't hear in here. And I think it was like a video. I think time and send us a video, like basically reading off like a notes app, like Jake and Brad, you guys have given me so much and i really appreciate it but i want to let you know that last week was my last week with the ghost runners podcast

and it's just like yeah i did that for a while and i dreamt about it and i was i i woke up thinking it was real for a second you know it was one of those like oh you're dreaming okay good it's like what a what a what a punk like this guy just out of nowhere just quitting on us zero days notice yeah only lets jake know yeah you didn't know oh you didn't hear i just didn't check my phone in time i don't know what it was anyway it's like he posted it publicly so like you could have had access to it anyway so thanks for not quitting on us time and um yeah i don't i don't. I didn't know what to think of it. It was one of those things.

Maybe this is deja vu. I still don't really understand, but I didn't really remember the dream until like two days later. Sometimes that happens. It gets triggered by something. Like, oh yeah, I had a dream about. Is that deja vu?

No. Dang it. Are you sure? That's kind of what I understand it being. One thing triggers your memory on something. I would say it's adjacent to deja vu in a way but deja vu is a pretty like specific feeling have we talked about this have you been here timing brad's ever had deja vu he doesn't really know what it is it's not real have you yet do you know oh it's so real oh yeah it's like a real thing when did you have

deja vu time give me an example i don't know exactly no one knows no one knows no one ever i know there's like bedtimes walking around a certain corner in my house it's like I feel like oh I've walked around this corner before I've taken this exact step I suddenly get this weird like sense over me that's a very like I feel like mild I don't know because you know

I walk around your house all day but like it's a very very distinct feeling it's not made up that's what everyone says it's a big conspiracy. That's what everyone says. It's a big conspiracy. Yeah, Brad's thought is like, because no one can describe it, they're all just making it up. It's just hard to describe. It's just hard to describe, but when you experience it, you know.

So it's just like, okay, I just have to pursue this abstract idea for the rest of my life. You can't pursue it, though. Yeah. You can't pursue it, dude. Okay. Just gotta let it come to you. Yeah. Yeah, it's a wild horse. Would you say you can or cannot pursue Grande Boo? I would say you can pursue that.

Yeah, ghostrunners.life. That's true. Check it out. Should we play your fun new game, Brad? Oh, yes. Let's play it. So explain it. You're better at explaining things than me.

Thanks for saying that. Yeah. Also, while we're affirming each other, I don't consider you unathletic like maybe Graydon does. Yeah. That's one thing. I'm a big guy. I'm not trying to act like I'm not, but I am not unathletic. You're so athletic.

Yeah. You should see Brad play pickleball. That's where I feel like the hand speed really shines and you're like, man, there's a lot going on in there. There's a lot of coordination in that body. Are we playing tonight? Dude, you want to? I think so. Scott. Yeah. BDA? BDA?

TBD? Well, if they don't have leagues. We were talking about that on the podcast. I can't remember if we were talking about it on the podcast. Does that recognize to you? Pickleball League? Pickleball League? I don't think so. Facebook page? Okay, so. Tymon, do you ever have inside jokes that are just between you and one person but they're public? league? Pickleball league? I don't think so. Facebook page. Okay. So there's this time. And do you ever have inside jokes that are just between like you and one person, but they're public?

You know, it's like, it's like, Oh me and Graydon. No, we have this inside joke about this music teacher that we have, but it's only us. And so we have like these really subtle things that we, whatever, something like that. Okay. Yeah, sure. That's Jake. And I have one of these things with this Lenexa pickleball page uh the the admin of the page or whatever so there's the next pickleball court called bda and bda recently started letting leagues start playing at their courts and this admin just could not be more upset about it she's like a cranky old guy. Just cantankerous. This guy.

A lot of hullabaloo with this guy. A lot of rigamarole. I mean, no one interacts on this page. There's no one else saying anything. It's a dead page. But I mean, 10 posts in a row, it was something about leagues. Stop leagues! Yeah, the circle with the mark down

and it says leagues it's like league is going to ruin this place we have so many people already playing here league is going to screw it all up all these different things this is going to take down the city of lenexa and so leagues yeah parks and rec department have no idea how special the thing we have here at bda and now leagues are coming in yeah this is a family-friendly place but with leagues i don't think so it's going to be bringing in people from outside of Lenexa to our beautiful park playing pickleball. Showcase

league leagues this guy like crazy. He's not off handedly. One time I was like, have you ever seen this? Like I knew that we were both a part of the page. I mentioned it actually was in Florida, like the very first day we got to Florida for a getaway and you're like, dude, yes, like I've first day we got to Florida for ghost run getaway. And you're like,

dude, yes. I was like, I've almost commented so many times. And so just a few times recently, like he'll post something on there and like, there's like one person will like it or, you know,

whatever. And I'll respond. Like there was one time there was like this, this fit. He was like, please do not let your families, uh, play like run around on the courts.

It's dangerous. There's kids out here. I forget exactly what I said. Do you remember? It was like, well, yeah, it's probably people with Lee with a right people in leagues. Yeah. Just trying to fire him up.

And then recently it had rained in the afternoon. He's like, FYI, courts are good. You know, in one hour, they should be to be good. And I was like, probably because of leagues, they weren't done faster or something like that. Just always try to fire good. And I was like, probably because of leagues, they weren't done faster or something like that. Just always trying to fire up. And I see it every time. Yeah.

I love the comments. So anyway, we're playing pickleball at BDA and I'm going to just offhandedly say, like complain about leagues a few times and see if I can find the person that's into it. But anyway, all I have to say, thanks for gassing me up. Time for you to explain everything. Okay you yeah it's too bad great explain

everything okay so there's this new thing it's kind of similar to like how wordle wordle took everyone by storm and you know things like this it's now uh with sports and it's a grid so if you imagine a two by two three by two table and you know there's an x-axis a y-axis and usually it might be like sports teams so it might say like you know the Philadelphia Eagles an X axis, a Y axis, and usually it might be like sports teams. So it might say like, you know, the Philadelphia Eagles is on the X axis and then it has a, you know, a thousand yard rusher. And on the Y axis, it has the Washington commanders. And it also has like, uh, first name, Steve or something like that. And then you've got to throw together like, you know, four different people that fit, you know, the coordinates, Steve that also played for the Eagles. Yeah. Or whatever, something like whatever something like that right um and so every day there's a new one there's different websites there's nfl ones there's

mlb ones and um i'm sure there's all sorts of pop culture ones too oh i do know that i'm just bad at all of them i am too and it's really bothersome it's hard to just pull this information out of nowhere yeah i thought it would be better yeah i was telling you and Gunnar when we were on the phone yesterday, I was like, I could have been really good at a baseball one if I was 11. Yeah. But I just don't have this kind of knowledge anymore. I know.

Like I was like, I used to ask for the sports almanac for Christmas. Like I would get a physical almanac pre-internet and just read it. I would have been great at grittying back then. How many, how many baseball players do you think you could name currently in the MLB? Currently?

As sad as it sounds, no, more than 11. I don't think I could get 11. I bet if we pushed ourselves, we could get like 50. 11? No way! Come on, dude. 11? I mean, we got Clayton Kershaw.

Whoa, whoa. How do you know? We're each going to make our list. Right now? On the podcast? No, no, not on the podcast. Sometime later. Okay.

I think I'm going to get to about 11. Let's do like a time. Like, let's do it in 10 minutes or less or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. 11. Dude, a lot of the guys are getting old. That's fair.

Like, is Madison Bumgarner even in the league? I don't know. I'll put him on my list and we'll check it later. Yeah, because I don't play fancy baseball. That's probably how you keep up with these people. Anyway, all I'll just say, we made our own grid. Yes, Brad had a creative idea. Hey, we don't need to do sports teams.

This is going to be anyone has access to this type of stuff, you know? So you want to explain your grid? Yeah. So it's a three by three grid timing. Let's try to get some kind of visual for this up on YouTube or whatever. But we got X, which one's X is X horizontal latitude. Yeah. X axis road trip snacks, all time. Great athletes, types of cars, Y axis, a term of endearment for your spouse, household items, power tools. It was actually kind of hard to like, think of like random things. So obviously

a little bit of this, like power tools, I think is a little bit on the brain. I'm going to let you know right now, power tools, like whole row, I'm going to struggle a little bit, but otherwise feeling okay. I mean, these are definitely like punny, goofy. We're trying to be funny with this stuff. So, um, how about you start?

morning, I'm opening up a new Main Street Roasters bag, and I kid you not, 80% of those beans flew all over my kitchen. We talked a long time ago about opening up bags and how I'm not good at it. Yeah. I thought I was opening the right way and I was not. And it just, the whole side of the bag just opened up and went everywhere. And it was like, as we were kind of running late or like on time for church,

but in a hurry. And so I just left all these beads on the floor, but I got some beans on my hand and genuinely for the rest of the day, I could smell the wonderful beans of Jamaican me crazy. Your worship being at church and just kind of. Yes, that's right. God, you are higher than

any other. Your love never fails, never gives up, never runs out on me. You are way maker, miracle worker. Just over and over again. Sniffling. Yeah.

Yeah, it is fun. It's a fun little joy of life when you get a good smell kind of on your hands sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Especially old Main Tree Roasters coffee beans. Absolutely. They have all sorts of different flavors, as well as just their regular original blends are so good.

I tried for a little bit. I'm like, I'm not going to drink coffee. I'm going to be caffeine free. Guys, don't do it. It's way happier in life when you have coffee every single morning from Main Street Roasters. I've just given in to the fact that coffee is that good and helps me that much, and it will help you too. So MainStreetRoasters.com at com grkc Timberzell. Just do it.

Just do it. Is that you? Okay. I was like, I'm buzzing again. Okay. I was like, what's going on?

Jack Reed this time. Oh, I think it's missing a man on the phone again. Please. I hope so. Something gives anything, anything, please do it.

Um, let's see. Oh dude, right before I came here, I had a had a this this could have been safe for winning the week next week um but i'm gonna tell it now uh katherine gives me a hard time because i'm i'm not afraid of bugs but i'm not very good at killing them um so just before i came here i was at lifetime and i was shooting some hoops and i'm shooting hoops with my air pods in. And this girl comes in worker and she's like, Hey, are you afraid of spiders? And I said, no, not really. Show me that. Do you

need me? She's like, there's a huge one in here. And it was like in this area where like they do like kind of a childcare area. Okay. This huge one over here by the go-gurt. I was like, well, that's probably why it's over there. You left a thing of go-gurt out. It's over here by the honey roasted peanuts and the, you know, just the ice cream and the. It really was. It was like, it was like one of those like summer programs where it was like, they definitely were supposed to bring their own lunch and somebody forgot to clean up this area of things that people spilled.

Anyway, it was a big spider. It wasn't like the biggest thing I've ever seen. And I think just working out in the wood shop, I'm not scared of bugs like that. Yeah. We're going to camp too. Yeah. And so, but Catherine always gives me a hard time. She's like, you, you go to kill him so casually, you need to be like a little more aggressive with it because often you'll miss the first time. That's exactly what happened again. This time, all these kids, all these like female women were like female women, all these women workers were like watching me do this. And I was like, Hey, it shouldn't take long. One quick swipe and I'll

get them. And you can tell these people were like scared of this thing. And I'm not scared at all. Like, I'm like, I'll do it with my bare hand. Yeah. And so, but it's like in this corner crevice where this yogurt, you know, is, and so I'm trying not to like stop the yogurt. So I'm like, I stopped once and I miss it. And of course it starts. And so then I'm like, I don't know if I got it, but I can't find it. And so I'm like unraveling all the go-gurt and stuff. And then finally I realized there it is.

We got it. And I said, you got a Kleenex. And they're like, Oh, you killed it. And I was like, Oh, I, I killed it. That's why you got three high schoolers writing songs to you. Right there. Hero right there. Spider killer.

Yeah. I don't know. Catherine's always like, or Hattie will do the same thing. Dad, can you come downstairs? There's a spider. No problem. Baby. Not scared at all.

No problem. So anyway, win of the week times two. Congrats on that. Thank you. I'll go ahead and throw down a, we'll call it just loss of the week, the opposite of a win of the week. After the Joliet show, I'm hanging out with one of my good friends, Stu, DJ at my wedding.

Yeah, Stu. I met him. He's fun. He's awesome. It was really good to see him again. Afterwards, we end up going to Taco Spa. They only speak Spanish, so you know the food's going to be fuego. Sure.

Yeah, a little bit of a issue for me and stew though ordering you know it's not great at spanish and normally i truly only speak spanish yeah waiter did not speak english cool and i think normally i would have been like hey what comes on the enchilada what comes on the taco and this is just like i we can't communicate so yeah you got to go a la carte taco so i just went yeah quesadilla con pollo like i know what I'm getting into there. Nice. Anyway, not what I meant to talk about.

So one of the other people we're kind of hanging out with in the lobby afterwards, a little lassie by the name of Sarah Rosenthal. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to say your full name. So, you know, I think she came to, I met her probably two years, coming up on two years ago, our last show at Joliet, hung out with her and some friends afterwards, knew that they went to Taylor where I have friends, you know, whatever.

We talked about, uh, performing at her church at one point. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And so anyway, just like a ghosty kind of friend kind of thing. And,

uh, anyway, she came to F12, but never said what's up or anything. You know, I found out afterwards, like you would have 12. You need to say hi.

Like we've hung out. I can't even say anything. And, but I'm like, we're coming back to Juliet. She's like, I'll be there. She makes a point to stick right after we're talking,'re hanging out and uh feels like security's kind of ready

for us to go it's like let's get out of here like let's hey let's snag a pic she's like ah i don't really need one i was like dang whoa denied a pic and you instigated it yeah yeah it's one thing for her not to ask for a picture. Hey, I don't know. Yeah. But you're like being nice. Like, you know, I bet you want a picture. No. Eh, what's the point? Yeah. You know? Just looks me in the eyes.

Why would I do that? What a power move, honestly, by Sarah. I was truly speechless for a little bit. I was like. Did you give her a hard time in the moment? Wow. No, I didn't say anything for a few seconds. I was so taken aback.

And then I was just. Then it kind of. I got my confidence back. And I was like, I'm not. You don't have to say anything for a few seconds. I was so taken aback. And then I got my confidence back. And I was like, you don't have to make it your Facebook profile picture. You don't have to post it. I'm just thinking, we remember this night. I take pictures all the time. You're on the podcast.

Brad and I, we're both big picture people. Take pictures of everything. I didn't mean for it to be like you needed a picture with me. I'm this big, huge star. Just remember this night. Well, next time you need to, you'd be like, no, it's for me. Oh no, I've been on my phone.

Yeah. You pull out your phone and take a selfie. Yeah. That's the next level of it. I do throw that joke in every now and then. Sometimes I'll be like, can I ask for a picture? Like, oh, I was going to ask you for a picture.

Yeah, of course. I'll do that like once a night. That's 100% success rate. Yeah, they like that. It's usually when someone is like meek to ask, and could i bother you could we just take a quick photo i want to make them feel like comfortable like oh are you kidding i was gonna go with you either way good i think yeah i think it's so funny how people act like taking a picture is such a like burden when i have uh like been the one to like i i've chosen to come out in the lobby like my

own free will like i want to be out here taking pictures. Yeah. Could I, could we talk like 30 seconds and take a picture? Like, yes, of course. Can you stand still for like two seconds real quick? Like, yes, I can. Like even like family pictures, that's a big thing. Like Christmas time, it's time for a family picture. Some people are always just groaning about it. It's like, this is the easiest thing you're going to do all day is stand here for a second and smile. It's like when I got pretty used to video editing and then we record our first podcast, I was like, it's, it's done. There's really no editing. Not really, you know, maybe throwing a theme song once we get that, but it's like, yeah, once you've done video podcasts,

it's like a photo, a split second, one 400th. Yeah. I looked at your camera i saw the shutter saw the saw the i saw my machine yeah pacifist panemus but gleases uh yeah i saw the shutter i saw the shutter speed i saw the shutter speed on world record wednesday it was one four hundredth that's tough that's tough um anyway anyway that's Anyway. Anyway. That's great. Sorry, Sarah. Well, I don't know if I'm sorry. Sarah should defend herself or like give. What were you thinking? Just curious.

Like maybe she's a, maybe she's struggling with her iCloud storage. Yeah. Is that a storage? And like one photo is a lot of storage. Yeah. Right. Center over the edge. Yeah.

Or maybe she's like, you know, I don't know. I don't know what. That's the only possible reason. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. But just shut me down. Either that or she like shares. No, here's what it is.

She shares. She shares shutter speed. She shares or she shutter speed. On the seashore. She shares her iCloud storage with her parents. Her parents are out of town. And they said, hey, Sarah.

You better watch the dogs. Stay home with the dogs. And instead, she went to your show. She saw the show. And she knew that if she showed up for that picture, if her parents seen her with CV. Because her parents are getting seashells on the seashore

in seaside florida um and but they would get a notification yes if you took a picture and they were up to shepherd shonies looks like uh she's not shepherding the sheep dogs anymore at home it's like share share share so that's a lot of mischief yeah i think that's probably that makes way more sense i mean that's it shares i cloud with her sheepdog parents so let me know sir let me know should we do our comment of the week let's do it um my comment where is it oh it's just a simple one from pam v 9252 on episode 244 she just said brad is on fire this episode fun comment thank you i did not feel particularly in flag there was a couple comments like yo this is an all-time episode instant classic of 244 so appreciate the love yeah it's
