There was a ghostie at Grande Boo by the name of Alex. She actually helped us out with one of the improv Whose Line Is It Anyway games. She did the sound effects for me and killed it. Yeah. I mean, I knew from the beginning. She was just like gonna do a great job. I was like snoring and she killed it.

My car door, she was great. I loved her. I love you, Alex. I do. Say it back. Yeah, she was just awesome. Seems super talented. I guess her and Rachel got to have a really good conversation.

Rachel was kind of telling about it. And I guess Alex was saying that she has also done counseling or went to school for it for a little bit. Rachel and her got to really chop it up about it. And I guess Alex at one point, I'm going to forget some of the little details, but Alex had said at one point that she had gone to school for it. And then later in the conversation, Alex goes, yeah, so I, yeah, I did counseling for three years. And Rachel goes three years. Jeez. And Alex goes, yeah, you know, it was just kind of a tough time and it took a while to get over some stuff. And Rachel goes, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I thought you went just to counseling classes

for three years. Like, whoa, it usually takes people one. Jeez, you were depressed. Holy cow. Oh my. And so, yeah, she was just really mortified that she was just like shaming this girl for how much she got.

It was like, yeah, I feel really passionate about mental health. You would for how long? Jeez. Who is your counselor? Figure it out. Oh my God. Three years. So I don't know if there's other ways to like shame people in the profession or.

Yeah. Yeah. What else do you take? How much, you know? Whoa. How much do you weigh? You've, you've lost that much weight and you still weigh that much? No, no, no.

Not how much you want to lose. Yeah. Oh, you have lost that. Oh, you're like proud of how much? You're proud of the way you look now? Oh, my gosh. Whoa. Oh, okay.

Yeah. You think you're... Yeah, no, I can kind of see you're balding. Oh, you said you're afraid of going balding. Oh. Oh, okay. Yeah. You think you're, um, yeah, no, I can kind of see your, your balding. Oh, you said you're afraid of going balding. Oh. Oh, okay. Well, I thought you kind of already noticed it. I wouldn't be afraid because it's happening.

Uh, uh, oh, ooh, I, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet because it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking round. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Jake, I want to start off the episode by saying this. Are you ready? Mm-hmm.

Hiyo! Is that your new thing? That's my new thing at home. Hiyo! And let me tell you why. It's because Rosie is starting to talk these days, and she's really good at saying Hattie. She'll just yell, Hattie, Hattie.

But she can't really say Bo very well. And so there's one time where we're like, Rosie, can you say Bo? Can you say hi, Bo? Hi, Bo. Bless you. She just goes, hi, Bo. Hi, O. She can't really say the Bo part.

She's walked into rooms now. First of all, she's literally walking so she's so joyfully stomping around and she just goes, hi, O. It's kind of like the new thing that we're kind of saying yeah around the house hi that song or the movie comes from hi ho hi ho yeah so what is it so white yeah i don't know much about snow white i'll tell you anything you want to know ask me a question all right here's

my impression of snow white not that much going on right? I feel like she's kind of just like not that cool of a girl. Is she a princess? She's just a solid, sweet lady. Yeah. I don't know. I'm real gray area on the princess thing. I think she's known as like a Disney princess, but I don't know. She's like royalty.

Yeah, eventually she gets kissed by the prince, and so that would make her a princess. Who doesn't want to get kissed by a prince, though? I don't know. Tymon, you do plays. Is Snow White a princess? I think so. Yeah. I feel like just Disney lady main characters are just referred to as Disney princess.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Disney main character lady. Yeah. It doesn't have as much of a ring to it. No, yeah. Disney female lead protagonist. Yeah, let's just go princess. Not even the animated ones.

Just like any Disney movie that's had a female like protagonist at all I'm trying to think of who that'd be Hayden Panettiere in Remember the Titans Disney princess great Disney princess she would be a good princess

she was a princess in my eyes bunch of red necks remember that I can't watch I can't watch. Or what does she do? I can't look. I can't look. Yeah.

Share roll. Share roll. What does he say out of that? I don't remember. I don't know. I don't know. Anyway. Yeah, Snow White.

You're Hall of Fame in my book. It's a great line. It's fun. Hi-ho. Hi-ho. Hi-ho. Hi-ho. It's so funny, man. I mean, i mean because yeah she'll see bow hi oh

that's pretty cute let's talk about uh some more like grande boo recaps a little bit it was a very full weekend yeah uh started off friday the the day where we have the most going on we've got you know we got to set up all day we're meeting at this theater at 11, this theater at noon, setting up, all this stuff going on. But at 10 a.m., we met up with our good friend, the Ghost Hunters accountant, Conor Kelderman.

Accountant to the stars. Accountant to the stars, Conor Kelderman. That was great. It was my first time meeting him. Yeah, he's awesome. Yeah, because on the podcast before, you had made guesses

about what he looked like. Yeah, I thought he was like this, you know, whatever, volleyball-playing guy. No, he's got broad shoulders. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's an athlete. Good-looking guy.

Yeah, he's great. Four kids, and I see why, you know? Yeah, he's a man. And yeah, I think Catherine and Rachel both were like, you're meeting with your accountant the day of Grand Debut? Yeah, Catherine was like, what? It seems like a weird time. Yeah, couldn't he wait?

I was like, well, he's in town for Grand Debut. And it was good to see him. It was the calm before the storm. Yeah, it was like, what? Yeah, couldn't he wait? I was like, well, he's in town for Grand Debut. And it was good to see him. It was the calm before the storm. And one of the things I wanted to talk about was one of our advertisers, I think they wanted to set up payments for something different. I forget what.

And Brad was like, yeah, Connor, what is it? Can you help us out? I think somebody's wanting to do EBT payments with us. And Connor's like, food stamps? Yeah. Brad's like, what do you mean EBT? Likebt like electronic bank transfer i thought it's for electronic bank transfer what's it what's the eft ach ach yeah yeah yeah but yeah i thought that was funny he's like i mean we can get it set up through abt i don't know what i don't know what that means dude

yeah uh yeah that was that was a fun little little inside joke there so i forget who that was that was neemee neemee uh-huh send us some food stamps i believe so check them out neemee.com neemee skincare ebt payments yeah i feel like there was more i was gonna say about connor now i can't remember what it was but uh nice guy it was it obviously like i i am so glad that connor likes doing what he does, man. Because, man, halfway through, at first I was kind of like, okay, this is going well. This is fun. I like spreadsheets.

I like organized stuff. And then halfway through, he was getting the nitty gritty. I was like, man, this is not my language. This is not how I get excited. But I feel like he just got to be like, loves puzzles, loves solving things, loves like filling in the blanks and looking at all these details. Cause man, like he's very good at it. I remember taking financial accounting and I think high school and college, and that was

pretty fun. That was pretty easy. And then once you move on to like managerial accounting and like what actual accounting is, it's like, Ooh, no more fun. It's all just like allocation and stuff. It's just figuring out what category the money goes into. Right. Which is like a big puzzle. It's like, yeah, you know, it's kind of like those logic puzzles you do where it's like, this has to be like, Charlie didn't finish last and likes pepperoni. Okay. But it only has one leg. Okay. Charlie's a nerd. Charlie, Charlie's got some interesting friends. So yeah, it was fun hanging out with Connor.

It was kind of like a quick, like stark difference from the rest of the day, which was nice that we started out with it and we had some good time. Yeah, just really different conversations compared to like what was going on 12 hours later. That's his five-part medley with time and friends. Good times, man. So that was fun.

Yeah, we obviously, we recorded the podcast. That was so much fun. People ask me throughout the weekend, like, what's been your favorite part of the weekend? And I genuinely just could not think of a time that was not awesome to me. Like, I enjoyed the entire thing, but I told, so I kept like kind of rephrasing the question of like my part that I liked more than I thought I was going to like,

it was recording the podcast. Like I thought it was gonna be fun, but man, it was really liked it. I really enjoyed it a lot. So, um, that was like my quote unquote favorite. I don't know if that was, but then Friday was so awesome. Saturday night was so great because it was so much more relaxed. I didn't have to be on. I mean, I was, I was hanging out with people and talking, but you're not performing,

you know? So that was great. Um, do you have a favorite part of the weekend? I think I enjoyed the roast. Yeah. The most people who surprised us. That was another one that was like,

I had expectations that were like, this is going to be, this is gonna be good. And it was like so much more fun than I thought. Like later on, I was like, we focus way more on the variety show. We could have just done mainly like 75% of it could have been the roast

and that would have been fun by itself. Totally. We learned a lot. Yeah. So that's, yeah. We just only get to do it one time. It's crazy. It keeps bothering me.

It's like, we have this show ready. Let's take time and let's take his little friends and let's hit the road. Let's do it. Oh, it'd be so fun. But yeah, I think Friday night was just by far my favorite. Just like, oh, it was, oh, it was awesome. It was, it was fun because we got to showcase our talents and we got like, there was just new energy because these people had finally like the event was here, you know, um, it, but I, but I had expectations for it being really awesome. That's my point. Like, whereas the Saturday podcast, I was like, it's going to be fun.

We've done live podcasts before. They're always fun. But this one, I felt like there was more interaction, more like genuine laughter. Like the roast of the ghosties was so fun. Yeah, that was fun. You know, I'm so glad we accidentally forgot to do that. Yeah. Friday and everything. So yeah. Roast at the ghosties was great. Yeah. It was, uh, yeah,

it was all fun. I need to apologize for like, I answered every single voicemail question last Wednesday. Portly. It's like, I don't know. I can't look, but it's so hard to answer those.

Like, what would I tell myself 10 years from now? Yeah. Right now? I have no idea. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know anything answers these questions.

So I don't know how great I did, but, Oh, I'm sure people loved it. I don't know anything answers these questions. So I don't know how great I did, but. Oh, I'm sure people loved it. So. Yeah. The, uh,

the roast was great. Like time in Catherine and Isaac specifically, like killed it. Yeah. It's so good. Yeah. Um, one thing that Rachel said,

which we had known this for a couple of months and I've been waiting to say it on the podcast. So like, I'm going to save it, let Rachel say it in her roast, but I'll just kind of say it now once the tour started isaac would always come to my house the morning of the flight out he would park his truck here and hop over the car with me then i would take us to the airport that was just kind of how it worked and after a few weeks of that happening rachel realized like oh my gosh the neighbors from the neighbor's perspective, they see Jake's car leave for an entire

weekend, and the second he leaves, some other guy's truck is here for the whole weekend. And when Jake comes back, that truck leaves. The entire neighborhood thinks Rachel's just going behind my back being a little flooz. Meet a loose woman.

That's kind of a bummer. Isaac is no longer allowed to park here. So he's parking of a bummer. So I, Isaac is no longer allowed to park here. Um, so he's parking in our house instead. Yeah. So he's with Brad and Catherine. So that is, that was a really funny, funny concept.

That was a great joke. I loved Isaac's jokes basically about like, you know, I was a young kid that Jake and Brad always hung out with. Brad would have me come over, you know, and do work with him, you know,

and he's like timing. He basically was like alluding to like, you know, shenanigans that was happening, obviously not real, but like time and I hope you're getting paid more than I did or something like that. So that was a good joke too. Yeah. Yeah. The roast altogether was awesome. I wish, I don't know what the video guys got, but I, I am excited to see it. I don't know how much, like, I think I would love to just watch time and whole roast, you know, like, yeah, I don't know if we got that or not, but man, it's just fun times, dude. Yeah. Did you sometimes time in like, I don't know, you're, you're, you're cooler than I probably was at your age, but like, I bet, I bet like if I were

you, man, and like you just, cause you've never really like done comedy stuff at all before. Right. Yeah. That feeling of like making somebody laugh is like amazing. Like if I were you, I probably would have gone home that night and like been in bed, like thinking about the jokes and people laughing. And I probably would just be like laughing to myself in excitement. I'm like, man, that was awesome. That was so cool. Yeah. It was, it did feel really great especially after all the expectation that kept on telling myself like oh it's not gonna be that funny like it's like because i didn't i didn't think like i knew some of my roasts i was like okay i'm really

proud of that one like that's gonna be good but like even the ones that i was like it's not that great like people loved them it was yeah i was happy about that after everything you got to do friday night showcasing an array of different talents did it have any kind of like effect on like what you want to be or what you want to do like did it unlock or like unleash anything ah in you i don't know it's like i i genuinely just loved everything that i did but i was like i still i still would love it i just like still wanted to be like a video guy. Like, yeah. Yeah. Like I love, I'd love to have more opportunities like that.

It's like perform stuff. Cause I also love that. Yeah. But yeah, I think, I don't think it really like shifted my aspirations as much, but I would, but it definitely did make me want to do that more.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Even if it's not like the one thing I do. Love it. That's kind of fun. Yeah. Yeah.

I get that. I have a friend too. I think we've talked about like podcasts before, but his name is Ryder and he's a videographer and he's filmed for like, he's been like Ben Johns is number one video guy. And who's the number one pickle player in the world. He's like Garrett Clark's video guy. And so he's like a hundred percent behind the scenes guy.

But then if you actually know him, you're like, Oh my God, he's the number one spike ball player in the world. He's almost a pro pickleball player. He's very good at golf, but he like has no, he has God, he's the number one spike ball player in the world. He's almost a pro pickleball player. He's very good at golf, but he like has no, he has all the access in the world to be in front of the camera. And he's like, I'm just good.

Just being behind it. Yeah. It's like, it's crazy. You don't want it. Like with all you've learned, you don't want to start like a spike ball channel or be on camera or anything. He's like, no, it's just like being mad camera. That is one thing I've like thought about.

Like, I know, I know a lot about like YouTube stuff and i like and it's like fun but i just i wouldn't i don't really want to be like a internet personality like that yeah like i've thought about it and it's like that'd be that'd be fun to pursue but it's like i'd rather like be i feel like when you're behind the scenes you get more opportunity to like meet cool people like i don't know yeah Maybe not more so, but I don't know. Sure. Yeah. Cool. Well, keep hanging out with us.

We'll give you that opportunity one time a year. Yeah, exactly. If that. Well, April, you know, Gold Shores. Yeah. Gold Shores, get away. Yeah, the rest of the weekend, I feel like, yeah,

we went from the Saturday podcast show. I ran home, ate, showered really quickly, and then went up and performed. The go-seats were loud and proud. They were all the way in the back. Section 404. I chose the cheapest seats for you guys. It was up there.

Walking out on stage, it was really fun that afternoon, I guess. I do have to say, unfortunately, it might have been a little ambitious of Trey and I to try and sell out the Midland. This is a huge venue twice, much less on a matinee show. It was like the quietest show we've done all tour was that 4 p.m. show, which is

kind of a bummer for me. If you're in the audience, you probably had no idea. You are not aware of it. But just being on stage, it's like, man, there's so many ghosties here. Are they thinking it's quiet? My uncle, who's never seen a show before. Like I wonder what he thinks. I better be more fun.

If like the people around him were laughing louder. And sure. So it's just hard not to get in your head. I messed up a couple of things. Um, did you like, do you remember what they were? There was one specifically.

I do a bit. Oh, Oh yeah. I already tell you this. I'm driving in a car and I look over at Rachel. And for some reason that 4pm show, I looked at my left, which doesn't make sense if you're driving a car in the United States. And I realized that as I'm driving in a car and I look over at Rachel and for some reason that 4pm show I look to my left which doesn't make sense if you're driving a car in the United States

and I realize that as I'm talking like there's no one to look at if I'm pantomiming car and then I just like messed up the next like two sentences and kind of scrambled through them you were so much more in your head on that than anybody else probably no one noticed I know just little things like that I didn't notice

still want to be accurate time was mumbling something during the show I could hear the murmurs he's like we're not in england brother hey bruv figure it out look to your right bruv and then the 7 p.m show dude it was just it was night and day there was not an empty seat in the whole building it was so fun it was so loud yeah. I think the crowd work went better. Everything was just really, really fun. So that was great. And then we went to chicken and pickle. I love watching you do the crowd work. For the 4 p.m., the one that I was at was, it was like some lady that said, you're like, what do you do for a living? She's like,

I'm in business. Oh, yeah. And you're like, okay. Like, and then she, she said something else. Like you're like clarify. And she said something else very vague technology. I was like, learn how to talk to people. Is this what you say? When, when people ask you on the street, they say, what do you do for a living? You tell them business. And then eventually, which who knows what capacity she's into this, but she said Amazon. And you're like, you could have said that first and everyone would have understood. Yeah. It was just like, sometimes you get doing these interactions and you're like, I feel like they're just like not into this. I don't want to just keep chasing down like a funny answer, like just move on. I don't know what the girl's deal is, but no, I didn't notice it being

particularly quiet by any means. But since you know, we're, we were in the upper deck and there's like two tiers to the upper deck even. And the entire second tier, like the very top of the venue was completely full. It was awesome. It was kind of funny looking. Yeah. But then the lower tier was like 1% full. It was like someone with like a receding hairline.

Like there was nothing in the front, like 20% and in the back it was like really impressive. And so it was one of those things where I don't think I would have noticed like sound. I didn't notice sound wise, but visually it was like, this is so dead, like compared to normal. Like, but I don't think, I didn't ever think like, oh, people aren't laughing. Cause around me, everyone was laughing probably about the same amount as you would hear if everything was full, you know? Um, but yeah, I was, yeah, I, I loved, I loved it, man. It was my first time here in this set of yours. And thanks. Um, yeah,

I got to sit next to Jensen. Uh, and we just like sat in two seats. We didn't even know, like you had gotten us tickets, but they were like down in the lower section. I was like, I want to be by the ghosties. Um, so we sat just up there and Jensen had seen your show in Cincinnati. And so like, as you're going, he's like, man, Jake is just, he's dialed in, man. Like he's like, Jake's got this down. And so it was fun watching, watching you guys with him. And, um, yeah. And Trey obviously did a great job. He has lots of, he has like visual aids and like videos and, you know, visual aids. That makes it sound like he's got like a broom out on stage. Flashcards.

Yeah. Visual aids. He's got a hooked on phonics comedy routine. No, but he does like, you know, he does songs in between and videos and it was all very impressive. So I had a lot of fun. Thanks, dude. Yeah. As I was walking up, like we got there, I was nervous. I know you had mentioned before, like that you guys don't always start right on time or even usually. Yeah. But I was like, well, they got another show after this. So I bet they're going to start pretty soon.

And Jensen and I were running late, like running, like we were supposed to get to the parking garage right at four, which is when we got started. So we got to hustle, man. And so luckily we got there with five minutes to spare or something like that. But as we were walking up to the balcony, to our seats, section 404 of the ghosties gave me a standing ovation. Really? I was just like, hello?

Wow. Apparently it wasn't completely ghosties. There were some other just random people that also got the tickets there. What's going on? And so, yeah, there were a few people like, who is that guy? Which one of them? Are they clapping for the tall guy or the big guy? Yeah.

Anyway, but it was great. Great to see you, man. Thanks, dude. Yeah, I appreciate you coming. I appreciate all the ghosties coming, whether you're part of Grande Boo or just came to that show. It was fun. It's fun getting to perform stand-up, and thanks for laughing. It was the first stand-up show I'd ever seen. really? Yeah. Oh, that's kind of fun. It was

great. Yeah. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah. I mean a good amount of it. I feel like if you're a strong ghosty, you probably like heard a lot of these things. Like when I talked about the, the mortgage lender and the Virgo story, it's like, that was a real thing that happened. And when my, I bought this house and it came with a bidet, that was a real thing that happened. You know, there's a lot of it that just comes from reality. My dad being sarcastic. It's all just like kind of true stories. Right.

Yeah. And which I liked hearing that you use some stuff from the podcast. Cause I was like, okay, if I ever do stand up, I could use some of the things I've said on the podcast. I could probably use way more. It's just kind of hard to remember. Sure. What have I said?

And what not necessarily like resonated really well, but like what would translate well to stand up. Yes. You never really know. Right. That's fun, man. Uh, yeah, we went to Sinzetti's after you, you obviously, you didn't go cause you had another show. Um, but shout out to Joan, Joan Hafiz Hafiz. Um, she, she was like so adamant, like, let me, let me be the one to like figure out this stuff with Sinzetti's and reserve the spot. And she told me, she's like, Sinzetti's a little bit worried that, you know, we might not be able to all fit in this banquet room that they have reserved for us, but they'll make, they'll make

room. They'll bring tables and chairs in if they have to. And so we filled up the, filled up the Sinzetti's, which was dope. It was a great time. Um, and I just, so, you know, Sinzetti's is this Italian buffet. Like, it's just so funny that that's where we went. But at the same time, people were loving it. People were impressed by the food. And I got one plate of food, sat down, ate it, and then I was like, I'm going to go around and talk to people, and every 30 minutes or so, I'll just go get a little more food

and never got another plate. And so I went to an all-you-can-eat buffet and barely had any food. A couple breadsticks. Which on one hand, I'm proud of myself for. On the other hand, I'm like, dang, I spent 20-some bucks on not very much food. But man, it was fun. So many different opportunities throughout the weekend of getting to talk to ghosties. And that was another one where I just felt like I just was very thankful.

People were always like, are you tired? I'm like, I'm not tired because I'm hanging out with you guys and I enjoy it. I like getting to know you and talking to you guys. But I felt like kind of like an Italian restaurant owner. Thanks for coming. How's the food over here? You tried the gabagool yet? You guys doing okay?

Yeah, it's called chicken spadini. Isn't it good? It's my mother's recipe. Gotta get you in a Mazda. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Frankie down the road. He's got the greatest deals in town. So anyway, it was a great time.

It's since Eddie's shut the place down and went right from there to Chicken Pickle. Which is fun. That is fun. I feel like I didn't feel too tired either because it was like, this is just so fun. Just out of the next, keep the energy up. It's so fun to see people.

I'll tell you when I was tired. When I woke up at 12.30 p.m PM on Sunday. Really? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I haven't done that in a long time. Wow. What time do you think you went to bed? Like two? What time did we leave chicken and pickle that night? Like one something maybe? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Either way. Wow. But that was good. And I, I did kind of feel bad to not only miss church, but also miss hanging out with Rachel's family who was still in town. But I was like, I think like,

I'm going to need this to like refrain from like, because we've talked about it. I feel like it's very common for your immune system to kind of like let you down when it knows the event is over. It knows. It knows when Canada Cucks over. It knows when F12 is over.

I know. I'm still like- Good for you. Hold my breath. Well, honestly though, like, I don't know if I'm done because Jensen's been here because Jensen's been here. He's leaving tonight, which is Wednesday night. And then, uh, I'm leaving Sunday to go to a conference. I'm doing integrated conference Sunday through Wednesday. And then Wednesday I get home and then I leave again,

Friday morning to go hang out with my friends in Branson. And so I'm like, dang, you're traveling way more than I am mentally. I'm like, I don't know if I'm like going to be out of it until after Branson or not. And maybe that's the way to cope with it because you tell your immune system, Hey, we're not done. Buckle up. Maybe, or yeah, I don't, maybe, or I don't know. You look in the mirror and say, I will not get sick. Yeah. Then again, I haven't felt like, I don't know, but tired is what I was going to say, but maybe it's because I'm still mentally on because yeah, I didn't, I didn't,

I took a 28 minute nap on Saturday after the podcast in between podcasts and your show, 28 minutes. And then that's pretty solid. NASA says 26. Oh really? Okay. It was 26 minute nap then NASA. Um,

and then, uh, I like a Sunday afternoon I went to, Oh, I can talk about this. I went to Costco, dude. We'll,

we'll get there. Uh, and, uh, like went grocery shopping for, I can talk about this. I went to Costco, dude. We'll get there. And like went grocery shopping for Catherine because she's been just as tired and busy as I have been because of this whole thing. And then I got home and my rest was like 20 minutes in my bed watching sports videos with Bo. And it was the best 20 minutes ever. Like he was like, I want to watch baseball highlights. So we watched Royals.

And he's like, now I want to watch some football highlights. So we watched Patrick Mahomes best throws. And then he goes, I didn't guess this. He's like, I want to watch golf highlights. I was like, I don't know if he ever said highlights, actually. I want to watch golf. So we watched Tiger Woods, best shot. And then he said, I want to watch, I want to watch soccer. I was like, who are you? Not in this talking about? Not in this house. Did you mean Kansas basketball? And so we watched trick shots. Did you say Frank Mason? Yeah.

Soccer trick shots with Dude Perfect. So that was my first Dude Perfect video with Bo. And he loved them all. It was so fun. Yeah. And then eventually the rest of my family came and we all piled into one king-size bed and it was not relaxing anymore. It was fun.

I mean, Rosie was just crawling all over me and Hattie was wanting me to be a perhoracy and all that anymore. It was fun. I mean, Rosie was just, you know, crawling all over me and had, he was wanting me to be a pervert and all that stuff. So anyway, but yeah, maybe someday I'll, I'll get tired. I don't know. Yeah.

But yeah, all, all in all great weekend. And it was all captured by the boys at evil videography. Oh guys, if you don't know, we've all like, yeah. So Jensen and Tyler, just the best. They sponsored us before a couple of times.ography. Oh, guys, if you don't know Evolve Videography, like, yeah, so Jensen and Tyler

are just the best. They sponsored us before a couple times, and yeah, we hired them to come out and shoot everything for us. And we haven't seen the footage yet, but I think they did a really good job. Unless they didn't press record, they got a lot of footage. Like, they were around all the time. Yeah. And

you want to, Tyman, just speak to your experience with just like, I don't know, just what'd you think of them as people? I mean, first and foremost, dude, like there's, you can be good at the video side of things, but like, they're so good at like just talking to people. They're great guys. Yeah. I got to know him a little bit over the weekend. He's awesome. They're great. They're great. Yeah. Uh, Jensen. So there's Jensen and Tyler videography people. Then there's our friend Jensen, not the Jensen Tyler, our friends, but our friend that stayed with us, Jensen, uh, from the Florida trip named Jensen Harper. Uh, Jensen Harper told, uh, me that his favorite part of the entire weekend was the conversation you all had at Sinzetti's. Yes. And like, he was like, what

happened to Sinzetti's? He's like, he's like those videography guys, Tymon, Justin, like those guys are awesome. Like've had great conversations about the Lord and about our lives and all these different things. He's like, those guys are amazing. All I have to say, Jensen and Tyler are the real deal. If they're even half as good at videography as they are

at just being people. Don't even hire them for videography. Just hire them to hang out and be around. They're going to make your day better. As if they did video. I't imagine like they're going to be they're going to be very successful in their life and what they're doing so at the very end of the weekend it was like midnight at chicken and pickle and i was saying bye to them and i was just like guys just want to say like obviously i haven't seen a single thing you've shot i don't know what it looks like but for now i you've done an incredible job because every time I turn around, one of you was there. One of you was shooting something.

You were shooting behind the scenes stuff. You went already went above and beyond what we asked you to do. And you were just always present and always right. And that's what you want when you hire video people. You don't want to wonder where are they at? What are they getting? Or, or you don't, yeah, you want to micromanage them or you don't want to be like, Hey, get this. Hey, yeah, come on, come on, come on. It's like, if anything, they were like always around. They were rolling like, Whoa, here they are. Yeah, they're doing it. So, uh, they have an instant evolve underscore videography. I think check them out on there and hire them guys, get them to do something. They do events, they do weddings, they do lots of cool things and, and they're so fun. I just, yeah, I just can't say

enough good things about Jensen Tyler. I mean, just good. They're brothers. They're from Kansas, but they're willing to travel to you. Check them out, you know, support them. We love supporting ghosties and they were eager to do it for us and I'm sure they'd be so fun to do it with you guys. So yeah, check them out. Check them out.

I have a little quiz for you guys. Little game Rachel and I played a couple nights ago. The game is called How Much Does a Bra Cost? Okay. You seem not pleased that we're playing this game. We don't have to play this game? Sure.

Do you not want to? I don't know. Is it going to be inappropriate? No, it's just deciding how much a bra costs. Okay. First question, how much a bra cost okay first article closing first question how much a what what are you yeah i'm what no is that is that bad to say that no no no i go ahead i don't i don't love it but i don't i'm not like i don't hate it okay well basically rachel just asked me she's like how much you think like a bra costs and i was like trying to decide and i was

like i don't know. $5? Yeah, I actually don't want to say my guess yet, because that's the game. How much do you think one costs? Okay. Tymon? I don't know. That's a good question.

I feel like underwear comes with a bunch of packs. But I feel like a bra doesn't. I don't know. Let's say $6. Okay. Brad, what's your guess? That's not right. I'll say it. Okay.

I don't know. I feel like there's levels just like anything. But I would say a nicer one and maybe $55. Okay. Oh, wow. Okay. But I wow. Okay. But I don't know. I don't know.

I mean, obviously, it's just like anything. Like, there's tears to it. What did Rachel say? At least I have no reason to be, like, knowledgeable on this. What if you just nail it? Like, F. Let's see.

Victoria's Secret. Yeah. Well, it depends on what you're doing on Black Friday. Sounds $54.99 on sale right now for $42.99. I guessed $15.99 on sale right now for $42.99. I guessed $15.99.

Okay. And Rachel goes, wow. And I go, for a pack of three. Because then I thought maybe it was lower, too. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Three pack. Three pack, $16. Lock it in.

To me, that seems very like, that's a great guess. That's because you guys have grown up with Hanes underwear from Walmart your entire life. What do you got right now? Fruit of the Loom. Hanes, baby! And those are great. They're reasonably priced three-pack. Wait, are they like high-end men's boxers?

Well, like the Loom Trading Company or... Yeah. Are those really nice? They're like 20-some bucks for one, probably. Whoa. So not like crazy nice. Okay. But to compare to that...

Go! I feel like... Well, I mean, maybe you need to try them i feel like undies are on these like what is the difference like i never feel like my underwear is not soft enough just you wait brother i mean you said probably the same thing about shirts until you started having built yeah yeah i am like open to the idea that's actually that's a good point maybe i am missing something like i'll be perfectly content with like the underwear that i'm wearing and then i'll like my mom will like try some like get me some new underwear and i'm like whoa wait i'm never wearing the old ones again okay so what did she say on average like what so rachel said like she's like for like a nice one from airy

she's like anywhere from like 30 to 45 dollars okay so dang right man that's crazy that's yeah that is crazy i don't even know what inventory is like for a woman i'm still married and i have no idea but i'm like i think you need a good amount of those and for a nice one yeah you're spending 35 bucks oh there's also that's crazy i know yeah i see why the ethiopian women live the way they do save a a lot of money that way. I now get it. Now that's a stand-up comedy. Yeah, thank you. That's great. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you're going to learn a lot, Jacob. That should be the whole mission trip. It's just bra passing out or whatever. Try this out. Just in general, everything's more expensive for a girl, which is funny because it's just less material. Girls are generally... It's a good point.

Swimsuits for girls are really expensive. And it's way less fabric. Yes. It's just the world we live in, brother. I could get a very affordable Magellan brand from Academy Sports.

I think their hair stuff is really expensive too, which they do have more hair. Typically. Whoa, who are you judging? For our Portland listeners. Come on. Typically. Even just learning what a girl's haircut costs

or getting it colored or whatever. Dude, but even like... Sorry. Died. Even like sometimes Catherine's haircuts aren't like, it's not like she's going from, yeah, 10 inches to yeah.

Pixie cut. Trim it up. It's just like, yeah, do some things. It's like, yeah, it's $45.

I was like, what? Oh, that seems pretty cheap. Maybe. I don't know. Beauty brand for a three pack. Yeah.

That was a free haircut. Three haircuts. Rachel's more. Actually, I don't know if Rachel and I have talked. I feel like I heard it from my mom one time or something. Well, if you get color and all that stuff, which I'm not saying your mom gets her hair color.

I don't know. I don't know. She's not part of the roast. Yeah. I did include her at one point. Did you? What did you say about my mom in the roast? Just very, very briefly.

Was it about the dentist? No. Yeah, I said that too. I said, so many of my jokes were so bad. That's why I did that laughing thing at the end of it because I was like, this isn't very funny, but if I put the laugh there, people will laugh at it. I talked about, oh, it was the dentist thing.

And then from there I said, to be fair though, Steve didn't have the highest standards for looks growing up. In high school, his prom date was voted best hooves or something like that, which is just a dumb joke. And then I said, Trisha, I don't think they're that.

I think your feet are perfectly normal. And then I said, Scott agrees. Yeah, that was great. Me and Isaac died laughing at that. Yeah, I know.

I was like, that's like more of a niche, like, you know, joke about Scott thinking women's feet are nice. But anyway, uh, but anyway. All that. Anyway, just a fun little game.

I think you keep bringing more discoveries to the table about things that are like, whoa, girls and guys are different here. Time and guess, $6. You were... I'm not saying... Yeah, you guys are very similar. Yeah, and I probably...

I can't remember if i would have had a different guess you know back when i was in your eyes a stage either so or you know whatever so time and i are in the same stage i know that's what i was like i know you're at the exact same stage but when i was in your entire stage the same no differences honestly oh man all right yeah maybe weekly basis i'll try to have a new new game slash discovery yes Just saying. No differences, honestly. Oh, man. All right. Yeah. Maybe weekly basis, I'll try to have a new game.

Flash discovery. Yes. So what's it like to buy your first cryptocurrency on Kraken? Well, let's say I'm at a food truck I've never tried before. Am I going to go all in on the loaded taco? No, sir. I'm keeping it simple. Starting small.

Okay, so I did. On Sunday, I went to Costco. My second time ever, and the first time, I don't remember my experience really at all, but Catherine's like, oh, I need to go to Costco today. I was like, let me go for you.

I need, it was my first time in like three days by myself. But she was like, she gave me the list of things I need to get, but I had no idea where anything was, how the store was laid out. She's like, yeah. And these things like they kind of move around the store. And so I just went up and down every single aisle and just kind of peruse kind of like, as I was doing it, I think a few times people might've thought I was crazy. Cause I think I was just laughing to myself thinking like,

man, I could get a lot of stuff here, man. I could get that like, cause you know, Catherine, my whole MO, anytime I go shopping, grocery shopping for her is like stock up anything we can stock up on. We should. And that's the whole premise of Costco. Like I do that at Aldi. I love stocking up toilet paper. It's like, yes, the biggest bulk you can, we will use it. We are going to use it. I'll use it quicker than you think. Way quicker. Like a marker down there. It's like a magic marker. Dude, Bo uses like a half a roll every single time. I'm like, stop!

Where are you putting it? Are you blowing your nose? He's going number one. He's just a little boy. He sits down to do it. He needs to dab that thing once. And he's using like, you know, like half the, I'm like, you're killing me here, man. Does he need to dab? Can we teach him kind of the... Every once in a while, he's using like, you know, like half the, I'm like, you're killing me here. Does he need to dab? Can we teach him kind of the, every once in a while he'd be like, I don't, I don't need to. I'm like, you're right. I'm great. You're all out. Just stand up. Yeah.

It's going to get on your reasonably priced four pack. Um, anyway, so like, you know, on the list, it's like peanut butter because they have like a multiple packs of this, like natural peanut butter. Captain likes, I'm like, we go through peanut butter a lot. So instead of getting the two pack, I got like three, two packs like, and they don't expire until the end of 2024. I was like, we're using that honey. You know, they come in three packs. I got three of them. That's not expiring. No 2025. I'm like, we're going to use honey. We use it every other day for like the kid's breakfast. Like, so I just started loading up. And so by the end of it, like I was like having to like perform Tetris in my cart, like to get everything to squeeze in there and everything. Your tires

are like kind of losing air. You have 500 gallons of peanut butter and honey. Yeah. I was, I was texting Catherine. I was like, just FYI, I'm going a little rogue here, clear some space, you know, like, cause they have all these drinks and they have, you know, all this stuff. And so I was just laughing to myself thinking like, what's Catherine going to think of me when I come home right now. Um, but man, Costco is awesome. It's, it's dangerous cause you can spend a lot of money there real quick, but it's not that expensive for the membership, right? It's like for a family one. I don't know. I don't even know. I think, yeah, not terribly expensive. I'm sure it pays for itself if you use it like you think you would. I think it's like a hundred

bucks a year or something like that. Yeah. So I don't know. I think you're right. That's why in my head, but I don't know enough about it, but man, it was like, they got, they got everything there. They got Mac books. And then really, yeah. So genuinely, genuinely, genuinely, I went, I went down the aisle because my MacBook could use an upgrade. And so I was like, how much are these MacBooks these days? I went and looked at them and then went around the aisle from that. And in that aisle, they had beer, like 36 packs of beer on one side and motor oil on the other side.

Don't get them mixed up. Still with an eyesight of the MacBook Airs. And I'm like, I could get used to this place. Yeah. You walk in and they got like, you know, uh, cheap jeans and right in the front of Mike, they don't look terrible. I got some golf balls. Yeah. They had all, they had a golf glove. They have golf, everything, hot dogs, hot dogs. You can, um, you can book travel through Costco. you can get a rental car through costco yeah they're like one of the biggest like wine distributors in the world okay uh i was just

a yeah they had like a pharmacy there they had everything it was like i i mean and i've heard plenty about costco but man it was on a sunday i was intimidated man it was like there were so many people there going through the aisles it was like you're driving a car you're. You're going to have to like merge. Like there was a few times where I like literally wave, either wave people in or like said like, thank you for letting me in kind of thing. All these samples. It was, it was wonderful. And I didn't know where anything was. So I went everywhere. That's kind of fun. Rachel, I got to get in on that. Yeah. Come on with me sometime. This is making me realize more and more that Sam's and Costco are basically the exact same. Yeah.

I mean, I already knew what it's like, man. They're just like, that's what you're describing is Sam's. Really? Yeah. Over here, there's like almost like a restaurant. Then over here, there's like a Best Buy. It's crazy. All in one.

Yeah, dude. And a pharmacy. Yeah. I loved it, dude. And I loved like, because I know that Catherine, she's more money conscious. I mean, I'm very money conscious, but I think because I'm money conscious, she's like, doesn't want to hurt. Like, you know, Oh, I don't want to make Brad frustrated if I spent $300 at Costco. Whereas I'm like, I know how much money we have right now. I know what,

you know, the budget allows, I'm going to load up on this stuff without making her feel bad. And then all of a sudden she doesn't have to go to Costco in two weeks again. Yeah. Cause it's so much more of a chore now to go than it used to be for her. So anyway, it was awesome. Can you Instacart from Costco? I do not know that. Oh, you mean like, so she wouldn't have to leave mailed to you or like shipped to deliver to you? Yeah. I don't know. I have a feeling probably not, but I don't know. Does Costco have like a pickup thing where they like get all this stuff for you? Cause also don't know. Oh, it does.

I think my mom is big on that. That makes sense. That'd be nice. Catherine does that a lot with Target. I would assume that if they did it, Catherine is shopping at Target. Sorry, she used to do it at Target. Honestly, she doesn't shop at Target anymore. A few times she's been like,

Brad, I had to go to Walmart at 9 o'clock at night. It was kind of scary. I'm like, get over it. You're shoddy Kansas. You'll be fine. But I bet if Costco did it, Catherine would utilize it. Were the MacBooks the same price or is there a little discount going on? I don't. You buy them in bulk? Yeah, yeah. Catherine, I got 14 MacBooks. We'll use them eventually. I got a MacBook, but they came in a set of two. So hopefully you want one too.

No, I didn't compare. I just really briefly looked at them to just be like, how much do I somewhat need to budget for this thing? You know. Man, I love buying technology. I just want to even think about buying a MacBook. Yeah. I don't need one.

Dude, I'm with you, man. It's fun, dude. It's so fun. Yeah. Back when I was really like slinging the camera around too, it's so hard not to upgrade something with cameras. Oh my always get a nicer lens or a different lens like i have a 24 to 70 but a 7200 would be nice yeah it's like well having a different camera body would be nice for those times when i don't have time to switch lenses there's always something you can upgrade

yep and it always look and there's always a cool looking video online you could find about it saying it's awesome and the nice thing about it being your job is that you can justify it a lot easier. That's what I thought with like woodworking and stuff. It's like, I mean, this would make my job better. I could perform better. I could do this quicker, higher quality, you know, whereas like if you just want a computer just for fun, it's like, it's hard to say, you know? So anyway, Costco, man, technology is awesome check it out oh they had alani new dude like you love alani i'm having a cool it a little bit uh for the sake of my my body oh but yes the taste is great okay yeah if you ever need that's good to know like you whatever all these free ads

prime they have a bunch of prime shout out to whichever ghosty gave me a free like case of prime this weekend oh Oh, nice. Appreciate it. Yeah. It was nice of you. So anyway, they have all sorts of things that you like there as well. Thanks.

Yeah. Speaking of technology, should we get into our schmores real quick? Let's add Reed and schmores. That's what I was thinking. I was going to talk about the technology that Main Street Roasters uses to roast all their own beans.

Yeah. But we're going to have some good times when we're, when we're,

you know, those few days we're alive. Look, I used to answer s'mores that way. And then I lost every time. So I adapted and I learned. And now I'm losing every time. So I'm actually, I'm losing. Wow. It was, it was looking okay for me like like comparatively like among the three losers but now i'm yeah i'm pretty behind the great part is that scott who voted on behalf of the ghosties only has 10 of the votes so like yeah it wasn't just like scott's answers that like it was it was a group thing, a group effort. And people are still like thinking, no, it's not even close to Jake.

So including let's see, Dominic bias, who was at grande boo voted for Jake. Thanks dude. Uh, plenty of others. I'm sure Sullivan Wagner. Oh yeah.

Nice guy. Enjoy chatting with you, man. Yeah. Like some people just completely just said, well, Jake's is just that much better. Allie Pilecki, she was there. Whoa. Rachel voted for Jake.

and then that code auto fills yep, best feature. Yeah. From messages, messages. We're in. Yep. It is so quick. So fun. That's so shouldn't have taken them all the way till 2021 to put that in phones probably, but man,

I like it. Okay. Do you have a way of succinctly putting that down? Autofill security code. There you go. Thank you. That's a good answer. I mean,

it's one of those things that like until, yeah, it was just so inconvenient before. And yeah, you'd have to like, I'd always say it out loud to myself, like, okay, 469-895-469-895. You know? And every once in a while when it doesn't work, it's annoying. Yeah. Come on. Come on. Prompt me.

Yeah. Yeah. It's nice though. What about when you're on do not disturb or like, you know, nighttime mode and you don't actually see the text, you just see it say from messages? You ever have that happen to you? I don't know. Oh, yeah.

That's even more fun. That makes it feel so cool. Whoa, it just knows. It still knows. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Good first answer, Jake.

All right. My first pick, easy, AirDrop. Yeah, dang it. Oh, I didn't even have that on my list. That's what I was deciding between. No, it's a great answer. It's like video people. It's like, dang dang a way to not lose quality that's nice dude like from just my computer to my phone phone to computer and then just with people it's it's so good it's amazing

the speed in which it does it yeah right like that's the big thing for me was like whoa i think you just you sent me the video not the photo and. And I was like, yeah, it's right there. So good answer. AirDrop is amazing when it works. Grandeboot did not work. Yes. Weird. You know, I just, every now and then it just, your phone needs to restart and then AirDrop will work all of a sudden.

That is one thing like phone to computer recently. It's been weird. Like, I mean, you know, so maybe it's Apple needs to work on that a little. I don't know. Yeah. It seems like just do it all the time. So maybe Apple needs to work on that a little. I don't know. Yeah, it seems like just do it all the time. Yeah. Like most things. Did you ever do like classic youth group shenanigans?

Take the kids to the Royals game or whatever, and you pull up your airdrop and you just airdrop random people you don't know, your photos? Oh, absolutely. I feel like, yeah, K-Lock kids were doing it. I wasn't discouraging it, but not encouraging it. Oh, I did it myself. I loved it. It was fun. It was fun discouraging it, but not encouraging it. Oh, I did it myself. I loved it.

It's fun. It's fun to watch somebody try to find a picture. Okay. My first answer is going to be one that I believe came out my junior year of college. Something like that. Sophomore year, maybe. It's the lovable assistant named Siri. Really?

Yes. Oh, I feel like Siri is trash. Oh, stop it. I have not used Siri in like six years. Oh, I use her all the time. Really? Uh-huh. That's like, it just doesn't do what you want it to do most of the time. Catherine struggles with Siri as well, but I

just thought it was a Catherine thing. I don't know. I just think it's very limited. I can't just be like, hey, Siri, send Tymon the contact for Jensen Harper. That is the one thing I, yeah. Like stuff like that. Like it's, yeah, yeah, it's going, you know, stuff like that. Yeah.

I feel like for the most part, I don't know. I use, I text a lot through it. I call people a lot through it. I set reminders or alarms. I don't know. I do it a lot for, I'm a, like, Hey, wake me up in this much time. And really it means like 15, you know, I'll say it about my kids. Hey Siri. I think I pretty much only use Siri for calling people. And like, sometimes if I like don't have time to go to

Google maps and like put in the address and be like, Hey Siri, take me to blah, blah, blah. Like I'll Google things on it. Like be like, Hey, I take me to blah, blah, blah. I'll Google things on it and be like, hey, sorry, we're just going to keep activating everybody's S-I-R-I. But I'll be like, how many ounces is in a pound? Whatever, stuff like that. A quick Google search. I feel like Siri works really well with things that only

take a couple presses of a button. What I would love to see Siri do really well is take over for me when it would take 8 to 15 clicks of a button. Yeah. If you could do those tasks, but right now, yeah,

it is good at math. It is good at, you know, like setting a timer, these things that take five seconds. It's like, it only say it's only saving you five seconds when it could save you 30. Yeah.

I'd be pretty fired up if it could do a lot of, sometimes I'll do like, I'll do math problems. Like if I have a list of 15 things, I'll be like, ah, Hey lady, uh, what's, what's 1541 plus 14,985 plus, you know, and that's pretty nice. That's nice. Yeah. Cause then it's not like you're

adding it all up. And anyway, anyway, I love her. I'm a big fan. I play music through it a lot. Anyway. Good times. Maybe I'd like Siri more if I took advantage of Siri more. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Anyway, okay. Dang, there's so many good ones here. Okay, I'm going to stay basic and say the other one that I use daily, if not multi-times a day, the flashlight.

I love the flashlight. I had it in there. People forget. You used to have a flashlight app? Yes, flashlight. I had it in there. I use it all the time. Remember? You used to have a flashlight app? Yes, dude. And it was not nearly as bright and it was not nearly as good. You know, there's just, it was just your screen. Like it was just lighting up your screen. Oh, I feel like I had a flashlight app, but it was before it was, and it would use the flash still,

but it was not part of like the iPhone yet. See, I had one before they even had the flash on the phone. It was just the front of the screen. Yeah. It was literally just like brightening your screen. It did. It did. A hundred percent. See, I had one before they even had the flash. It was just the front of the screen. Yeah. It was literally just like drain your battery. It did. It did a hundred percent. Oh, I remember. Yeah. And so having the flash, I mean, especially as a guy who's now married and whose wife sometimes will go to bed before him or whatever, the lights are all out. It's got a little flashlight going. Oh yeah. I do use the flashlight all the time. Or you're looking for, you know, okay. Bo just dropped his pirate book under his bed. We're looking for it under there, okay, Bo just dropped his pirate book under his bed.

We're looking for it under there, whatever. Maybe I'm too young to appreciate that because like flashlight, I think that's just like any phone, obviously an iPhone has it. Like, of course I use it all the time. You're like, that's not even a feature. That's like saying a speaker. It's like, obviously it would have that. A little bit. Yeah.

That's fair. But it's still a good pick because it's so true. It's like very. Yeah. It's just such a good idea to like have like almost like a tool with you. It's like saying like screwdriver or something. Hammer. Yeah.

Do you think there's anyone listening right now who is learning they don't need the flashlight app on their phone anymore? Is there a chance? Yes. That someone 60 and older right now is listening like, wow, I can delete that flashlight app. It comes with the phone. 100%. That's pretty fun.

Yeah. All right. Back to timing. This is hard. I think I'm going to go next with, I guess it's kind of two in one, but text reactions slash replies. Oh, I didn't even think about that. So this is with other iPhones.

Being able to reply to specific messages is incredible. And then reactions are convenient when you don't want to type out a whole thing. Just like, yeah. The text reactions. Yes, I agree. I 100% agree because I've talked about it a long time ago. I did not like it when people just texted me a thumbs up emoji. I felt like I was very passive aggressive.

But if someone likes my message, that's great. And that's enough of a communication back and forth. You don't need to be like, sounds good. Okay, great. Just boom. Yeah. And correct me from my from my memory i feel like replying to a specific text only came out in the last ios like that's only been out a

year which is crazy it's like yeah we didn't have that yeah 14 years of an iphone and you couldn't reply to a specific text that took a while to develop yeah right yeah my my computer that has iMessage on it still does not have the reply iOS on it. So you get to see when people edit a text, you could see their old version then. Yeah. And then I also, you, you're a big reply guy, but it doesn't show up as a reply. On your computer. And so sometimes you'll just be like, sounds good. Yeah. Sounds good. Like, what's he talking about?

Yeah. Then I'll look at my phone and be like, oh, he replied to that. Interesting. Okay. Good answer, Simon. Thank you. I'm going to go with, I feel like this one seems, feels a little similar to my first pick in a way, but the idea with Jensen earlier, being able to share the wifi password with someone, that is awesome. Like any kind of autofill, I don't have to type it. That was pretty cool when that came out. Just like getting a prompt on your phone. Would you like to share a password with Alan Cole? I think we're always doing it backstage of tours.

And it feels almost better as the person receiving than giving. You know what I mean? Because when you receive, you don't know who it came from. So sometimes it'll happen on the bus and I'm like,

thanks forever. Thanks for ever did that. I appreciate it. That was me. And I'm proud of it too. It is. It's fun. Yeah.

It's a helpful little tool, especially like if you have an embarrassing password or anything, just like, hey, I'll just, you just click on the wifi

and I'll just put it in. Yeah. I'll share with you. Whatever. That was the only one i knew about let's check back on the list i'm gonna go with um just the way that the camera roll organization i think is a great feature the fact that it can find faces for you the fact that it sorts by geo location i use that pretty often i feel like yeah oh yeah, I've been to Lexington. I'm trying to remember where I went. Let me just look at my phone.

I'm sure I took a picture. Okay, I went here. Oh my gosh, I've been to that store or whatever. I like looking up January of 2017. Exactly. You can sort by date, by location, by face. You can be like, hey, you can type in beach and it'll make a video for you of all the

things, all the times you've ever been on a beach. It is really cool. That's a good pick. Yeah. Camera roll. I'm going to make a beach vid. Alright. Those are my picks. Back to timing. Let's see. I guess

this is hard. I have so many on my list but I don't know what the best are. Um, there's some that I use a lot that won't be super relatable though. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Um, I'm going to say do not disturb slash focus modes. Okay. I use those all the time. Really? What is focus mode? Uh,

it's like you can like customizable focus modes. Yeah. I do. I do want like the time. Really? What is focus mode? It's like you can, like, customizable focus modes. Yeah. I do one, like, the personal one. Yeah. Basically only gets text from Catherine and Jake. Cool. Yeah, yeah. So things like that.

Super, super convenient. And it's like, do not disturb. I just use it all the time. It's simple. Just swipe, click, boom. Use it right now. No notifications. Yeah.

Really? You just do it when you're studying or working or something? Yeah. Or go to bed. That's discipline. Not as much anymore, but, like, I used i used to just like pretty much always have it on and then it was like which makes it kind of really fun when you open your phone and then just slide down like boom all these yeah totally it's kind of like a little treat everyone's like oh what what

what have i gotten when i like didn't know that is kind of fun a little treat it's like when you wake up in the morning like not knowing what you're going to have, but it's like that every hour if you want. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Do not disturb slash, I guess, customizable focus modes.

Cool. And I think that just makes it easier not to be addicted to your phone. You're not available 24-7. Looking at every vibration and whatever that you feel. And sometimes people will see that you have your notifications silenced and not send you more than they need to

yeah like don't want to be disturbed oh see i just send more because i'm like well they're not going to be bothered i am guilty of that too sometimes but yeah cool man there's so many fun ones i it's just hard to i'm going to just keep going uh just practically things i use on a daily basis i didn't have my wallet for eight months. So many people were so excited when I finally found my wallet and my credit card in it, but I didn't need a credit card because everywhere takes Apple Pay.

That's good. Almost everywhere takes Apple Pay, Tap2Pay. That does feel like a very futuristic thing we've got going on. It's pretty mainstream now. Yeah. Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe's do not take Apple Pay. That's about it. But parents have where you go. You feel like it takes it. Tropical smoothie cafe. I'm trying to think I can, I can tell you all the ones that don't. All the, all the times I've had to run out quickly. Um, cause I don't have a way to pay.

Yeah. There's been a few times where I like show up to home Depot and I'm like, dang it. I'll order online and pick it up. Cool. So anyway, Apple Pay is my third answer there. Just love it. Good pick. Have always been high on Apple Pay. And then, man, there's some fun ones, guys. There's some good ones. I'm going to say for my last one, this is one in the same. I'm just going to say, I'm just going to do one of them. So somebody else can do the other one if they want to, but I'm just keeping a practical screenshots.

I think screenshots, I use those a hundred times a day. Not truly, but like, I didn't even think about my gosh, is it nice? Like, cause I'm, I've, I've, I'm old enough. I'm not trying to act like I'm like some, I've, I've, I'm old enough. I'm not trying to act like I'm like some geezer or anything, but like I'm old enough where I remember the days before Apple had screenshots before I had flashlights before at Apple, but like Siri, like I remember all those iterations of the iPhone. And when those things have all come out, it's like, man, that really changed the game for how I can communicate, you know,

on my, on my list, I have easy screenshot. Cause it's like, it communicate in so many different ways. On my list, I have easy screenshot because it's just so easy to do. They even upgraded it to where you can send it and then delete or you can copy and delete or you can really quickly crop it or mark on it. It's like they know. They got it. They got it down.

I'm trying to think. There's certain apps, I think, where if you screenshot it, it will show them the full like photo or full thread or something i can't even remember now oh you can like screenshot the entire web page or something like yeah if it knows it's longer like if the iphone has an idea of like yeah you probably want the whole thing right we will include that in the screenshot yeah it might be reddit or something have you had you guys have you ever like discovered when you mark mark on something if you like draw a shape and then hold it'll like make it a precise that shape like

smooth out a circle no yeah if you just like circle something roughly then just hold it'll just like make a nice round circle cool it's great yeah thanks timon screenshot is a great pick to get fourth honestly i think i like your picks in reverse order really really well like you guys really crapped on siri but after that you're like good pick good pick good pick that screenshot that's great uh okay all right time and let's pick let's see man um i might have to say the interface slash the ability to pin contacts i think i like i don't know i'm sure i'm sure a lot of phones have the ability to pin contacts, but I love how the profile pictures are like way bigger. And like that way, like if I have someone pinned, they're usually like important enough in my phone that I have a profile picture

for them. So I can have like a super fun profile picture that's like prominent. So when you say pinning contacts, are you talking about on the top of your eye message? Yes. Okay. Yes. See, I, I, I see a lot of people do that. I've never done that. Same. I see Rachel do it. I see other people. I take advantage. It would be nice

because there's plenty of times where it's like, man, I've texted a lot of people today. Where's Jake's? Where's just the one that just Jake? You know, down here. Where's Catherine's? Oh, dude, try it out.

Oh, dude. What are you doing? Okay. Good word. That's good. I'll say real quick. Timon's a liar liar i drew an imperfect circle and i am long pressing till my little heart gives out and i cannot get it to like are you on a

are you on a screenshot yes some ghosty comments uh try try doing a new screenshot and i just did it oh really but let's see if jake's bad at it let's see if i can do it i want to do this i'm gonna say i can't believe caleb Caleb Lee voted for Jake and not me. Oh yeah. It worked for me. It's nice. Did you hold it? No, no.

You got to keep it. Keep it held. Keep it held. Keep it held. Yeah. Yeah. That is so cool, Tymon. And you can even, even like an oval.

It'll keep the oval. Yeah. A hundred percent. Shout out to Ashley Shoup. I just circled her name. Calvin Edsel Beck. See ya. Wow. Taylor Stobie. Oh yeah, right there. That's a perfect circle.

Laura Seifert. Congrats. That should have been my pick. Jeez. Can we go triangle? Honestly, it's one of those things where people will vote for you even though that's not your pick, Tyron. Does it go triangle? Yeah, it gave me a scalene triangle, which is the worst one of them all.

But still, I just got shapes galore all over this ghosty conversation. That's pretty fun. Time it. Fun job. Fun little feature quirk. My last one I think is going to be, I'm curious to know how popular this is, how often other people use it.

I feel like I use it all the time. The trackpad within the keyboard. It's like when you long hold on the spacebar and it becomes a cursor yeah what you don't know about this sure oh no no no no i get what you're saying i was so confused yeah i know like trackpad you're going to a specific in between like a word you're deleting a certain letter yeah maybe cursor would be the i mean yeah cursor trackpad whatever yeah it took me a second but i know you're talking because i think up to, maybe cursor would be the, I mean, yeah, cursor, trackpad, whatever. Yeah, it took me a second, but I know what you're talking about. Because I think up to the last iOS,

you could long hold on any of the keys and it would become a cursor for you and they switched it to spacebar. Took a little adjusting, but yeah, if you don't know what I'm talking about, open up your keyboard. Oh, yeah. And type a few things and then long hold on the spacebar.

Now you can move in between all your words. Oh, yeah. And it's just nice. I feel like that's a little thing that I use 50 times a day. Probably. I don't even think about that. Yeah. I use that all the time. It's so nice. If that wasn't there, like trying to like hit perfectly in the middle of a word, it's like, it only wants to give you the beginning of the end. Right. That's fun. So that cursor is nice. Okay. So we're calling that. Cursor on space bar. Cursor on space bar. Okay. So I like this.

This is a fun. Even playing field. Techie nerd guys over here. So Jake said, autofill security code, sharing your wifi password, camera roll organization, like faces and geolocation and the cursor on the space bar.

Timon said, airdrop text reaction slash replies. Do not disturb slash focus mode interface slash ability to pin contacts yes okay and brad said siri flashlight apple pay screenshots i could be wrong but i feel like this is going to be anybody's game that's what i was going to say yeah i think it's gonna be very even but then again it's like time and ran away with it we didn't see it coming or something yeah maybe a lot of our listeners love do not disturb a lot of people pin their contacts apparently i'm actually i'm surprised that you guys don't that's let's try it out that is a hundred percent

something i would i love utilizing the tools of something and so i'm very surprised i have not done that either huh yeah i don't know i don't know who to pin. Because Rachel... Dad. Daddy. Yeah, I should pin you. Because my first thought was Rachel. Like, oh, she's got a nice, cute profile picture. That'd be fun to see. But I'm like, now we live together.

We don't text nearly as much anymore. But you should still pin her. I feel like that would almost make it more of a reason to pin her because you might have to find her if you don't text as much. Good point. I'm also just a very quick, like, just start a new message and put their name in like yeah i'm not a i'm not a yeah anyway uh man i don't know how you guys are like that rachel officially pinned that's fun that's fun that there's only one person pinned that's oh he likes the aesthetic i don't think i've seen honestly did that just come

out whoa dude how'd you think of that to just pin one because i have nine pinned at all times let's see you honestly the pictures are huge with just two that's pretty nice oh that's too much i don't like that's too much of my screen no no no it's great it's great i don't know about that can you make them smaller no no never mind no i don't know okay. You just pinned three people. Honorable mentions. We got a lot of them. You guys got a lot of them? I've got a lot of honorable mentions. Go ahead, Tymon.

I don't know how I feel about this pin. Let's see. Okay, one was selecting and cutting out things from photos. Have you guys tried that? You're at a photo. Like pinning the foreground or whatever? You can hold down on something and it'll cut that out and you can like paste it. It's just more of a fun thing.

Yeah, I haven't really utilized it very cool yet, but like it's kind of fun. Or if you're making like a thumbnail for something and you want to like cut out someone, it can sometimes do it pretty accurately, quickly. Yeah, sure. I have the ability to not use Safari. Just the fact that they let you have other. Yeah, I like that because I hate Safari so much.

Yeah, me too, man. I don't know why. I don't have like a strong reason why, but then'm like google chrome is way better i okay i use the google google app i tried that we did that for a while yeah i'm a google chrome guy now yeah um air dropping contact specifically i just discovered that recently yeah it's nice um face id but not right now for my phone it doesn't work um yeah for sure yeah an easy screenshot slide texting oh yeah like one-handed i did it all the time yeah laying in bed your other side yeah swipe it away i had airpods compatibility just like that's good easiness like just using

airpods um copying text from photos that is nice that's That's cool. That's really nice. That's new these days. Yeah. Yeah. And then, yeah, like reminders. That's, I mean,

I'm sure every phone has that. Reminders are good. Yeah. I messaged. Imagine like not having to like type in the reminders yourself. If some, if you had like a virtual assistant that could do it for you, that'd be so nice.

I use sometimes I do that. Just saying. And then, yeah, I had like, I messaged text effects, like the random fun full screen balloons. Echo.

Congratulations. Those were fun when they came out. That's fun. The day those came out, everyone was going nuts for like 48 hours. It's like whenever new emojis come out that all people use. That's probably good. My last one was dark mode slash light mode. Yeah, that's nice. That is really nice. It's one of those

things i don't even know if i really recognize it anymore but i think if i were laying in bed and it was super bright in my face i'd be like what's happening here so uh i'm a big keyboard shortcuts guy xxx goes to triple jake xxx yeah yeah i'm big you know everything everything I have, I have a D D Y Addy goes my address, you know, P O N E goes my phone number. Uh, S I G G the signature. I've, you know what? I think that's exactly what, sorry. I was trying to think, cause I, you know, Isaac and Scott and I text all the time now about Friday pickleball. And I was like, there's something that Isaac has that it's so funny. He'll be in the middle of like this very serious text. And I think it's the word signature. Cause I think it's when we talk about signature paddles. I'm like, yeah, the thing is

like this company, they offered this, but they're not willing to throw in. Thanks. This is Isaac from Prairie Village. You can reach me at 913 or whatever. So anyway, that's why I think we should probably say no. That's funny. In the middle of this long. Yeah. Every once in a while, like I've done a few, like, you know, times where I'm like posting to, you know, back in the way, way, way, way back in the day, I would post to 30 different Facebook swap and shop groups before Facebook Marketplace was around. I had a set thing that I would put on each of them.

So every once in a while, I accidentally misspell a word, and all of a sudden, it just freaks out on me. I also said integration with your computer slash iPad, et cetera. It has such a hold on me. I can't leave these devices. Right, because it's, it has such a hold on me. It's so, I can't leave these devices, right? Like, cause it's like, I can, I can text time and right on my computer. I, you know, whatever, um, remote for your Apple TV, not going to be on my list list, but I wrote it down. It's really nice. Every once in a while we were like, I don't know where the remote is.

Let me just get my phone out. Okay. Um, the measure slash level app. I didn't think he was going to have that. love it it works good the woodworker in me is like let's figure out how big this room is yeah it works very well um voice messages another one that i just love yeah i had that one too uh scam likely anytime i know that's not like oh okay oh that's nice yeah but like for a while i didn't have that and now people scam me all the time so That was before I was too privy. Or even now when it, I mean the last several years, it tells you kind of the general area

where they're calling from. That's kind of nice too. Yes. Let's see. Mobile hotspot, another one that's just like get you out of some jams. I remember when you had to pay extra to have a little actual mobile hotspot device. Yeah, a little Verizon 3G.

Tracking where you parked. I haven't used it a ton but when you need it it's nice uh photo bursts with kids that's really nice slash live photos i love live photos are good i've tried to convince my parents like just turn on live photos i promise i might i have live photos off oh time and you're not living life to the fullest. Unpin those contacts and turn on those photos. I think it's because there might be something when I like, if I ever transfer my photos to a computer or something like that. Yeah. The HEIC stuff is annoying. It's weird. And it adds like a video with it sometimes. Oh, interesting. Like as a live thing. I don't know. My dad. I should try live again. My dad is convinced that he can get five grandchildren to all stare and smile at him at the exact same time.

And I'm like, Dad, if you just get a live photo thing, you can edit it to where you take a bunch of pictures and it's like you can find the right time. Because, you know, so often he's like, Rosie, Rosie, Rosie, Rosie. And finally she looks at me. He doesn't take the right picture at the right time. You're like, Dad, live photo. Live photo. He's like, but dot E-H-I-C. It just gives me trouble on the back end. And then I even katherine i'm like katherine live photo why i turn it on for you how do you turn it off like you don't even know

like i didn't know um so let's see screen recording same thing as screenshots basically but just so nice to have screen recordings sometimes there's a lot of little tools even within screen recording like it can record you could set it to record the audio within the phone you can set it to record your audio yeah you can yep absolutely narrate uh hiding the apps but not on downloading them oh yeah there are certain apps where i'm like i i just want this offload yes yeah where it's like i just i don't want it on my home screen but what are you hiding brad well i just i use southwest you know four times a year southwest app exact same thing yeah tons of apps i don't use all the time but yes 100 and you can another feature just quick swipe down search it like the first couple letters big that's that's

that's my command space bar i do the same thing on my computer i bet my honorable mention just gestures in general yeah sorry i'm not commandeering here well even like the swipe up that's what i'm gonna say yeah%. That was for like two hours. That felt so foreign the day they took out the home button. I remember... And after a while, you're like, this is awesome. Yeah, why do we ever need buttons? Because Catherine has the iPhone SE because she's 50 years old.

And she loves it. But every time I use her phone, I'm like, oh, gosh. It's so much faster to swipe. It's just slightly slower to hit the button. Yeah. Last two, low power mode, just very nice to have. Okay. And then find my iPhone, another one that I use daily.

Oh, gosh. Yeah, find my iPhone's great. Oh, yeah. Find my, I love some of like, I mean, I love finding devices. Find my devices is nice too. And I just like have my family members location. So I can just like quick track them. What's Jesse up to?

All iPhones in the family? No my dad alice my dad's a samsung guy he just would not like care enough to have like a nice phone really i respect that man i wish i could be like brandon in that way man yeah anyway all right uh there's not much left on my list after all those honorable mentions but i put um you guys ever do the thing where you turn your phone sideways and then you're able to draw on your keyboard. I like to use that from time to time. Oh yeah. I forgot. Does that still exist? Oh yeah. I used it last night to, I drew a little something for Isaac and Scott, like a samples thumbnail. I was thinking, I was like, what do you think about this? Because then once you send it to him, doesn't it show up as like a video,

like where it watches, like how you made it? it yeah i think it'll show you like what you did to get there because i used i used to like write out messages but i would put like just the top like just the vertical lines first you know it was a fun game to try to catch it and so it'd be like eventually you'd say i love you but like at first it's just you know whatever the i and the l of v or whatever um just the notes uh one just i think we take for granted you have unlimited notes think about all the schmorz notes i have i create a new one every time you know i just like i get unlimited notes and that they're in icloud because for a while i mean back in the early days but it was not i was an evernote guy because of that yeah we had to go evernote i thought evernote

was the greatest thing ever note no um yeah i had gestures do you guys know about uh tapping the back four times you could set that to be anything you want i have tapping it twice to turn on my flashlight but it is it turns out a lot yeah i was gonna say and it turns on a lot yeah twice is a lot so i've said if i tap it four times then it goes to my camera it's just like a quick little thing really yeah i do like the three, the three taps on the, uh, whatever the lock button is.

You could like invert it or you can do out. Oh yeah. Uh, here's a fun one. That's actually like the opposite of fun. See the O'Brien great ghost runners listener. Maybe I talked about this, uh,

turning your whole phone gray scale. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You might talk to this. She talked about like, like it's less visually appealing to your eyes, so therefore you're not nearly as addicted to your phone.

It's like a moth to the light. I did it for a solid two days. And then I was like, man, I got to know what that beach looks like. Last couple ones. QR code scanner, just so you can do that within. Oh, yeah. That was another thing that did not used to exist. you used to have to have a QR code sconer QR code scanner app used to have it separately and then also within notes you know you can scan documents and upload

as a pdf very quickly yes you don't need a scanner as much as you think you do these days no your phone can do it oh yeah 100 um and then i put down least favorite feature you know what bothers me i can't remember if it's google chrome or google maps which normally i like google you'll paste like an address and then you pay you copy an address you paste it into google maps and it says visit copied link or whatever allow paste have you seen this yeah obviously thing yeah every single. Yeah. Every single time. It's like, I copied it. I clicked paste and it's like,

do you want to allow paste? Well, when would I not want to allow paste? Why is this dangerous? I'm not able to select that once ever. And then it's like, of course I am allowing to paste. Like never ask again kind of thing.

Yeah. So yeah, I think it's on Google maps. It's allow paste. And I think when Google Chrome, the app, it says visit copied link and makes you clarify it. It's like, yes, I'm typing

in the URL. That's definitely what I'm trying to accomplish here. That's weird. Those are my least favorite features. That's good. That'd be fun. Another fun sparse. I don't think that happens to me about the visit copied link thing. Cherish it.

Maybe I'm not doing it very well. Cherish it, brother. You got a good life. You got a good life. Uh, speaking of people who have good lives, Fortunato, they're fortunate.

Yeah. I don't know what I said, uh, last week, but we got a comment. Where did it go? Um, let me command F this real quick.

It said that Fortunato ad was the best ad, ad segment I've ever seen. So buy it. So yeah, put your money where your thumbs are. Do another good one. Okay. Hola. Oh, me amo Jake.

Yep. Tu tengas Fortunato? No? No. Por que? Because, Brad, tell them why. Why do you have... Why they don't have it.

Oh. Porque eres estupido. Good. You are a dummy if you do not do the Fortunato. Because it is the best chocolate in the world, man. They have not others. They have mantequilla de pinas. Un pequeño cacao farms.

Yes. En la país de Peru. Shout out to Alvaro. Alvaro's from Peru. Oh, Latino Mr. Beast. Yes. If Mr. Beast were Latino, he would be from Peru. And he would give out a million.

Yes, Fortunato chocolate came from Peru. If y'all don't know, it is really high-quality chocolate. They make nut butters. They make peanut butters that they mix with their dark chocolate and milk chocolates. And they're incredible. And temperatures are getting a little bit cooler out there. Uh-oh. Maybe by this time, maybe next week, maybe the week after.

But they are going to be able to start shipping their chocolate bars as well. I cannot wait to try one of those because if it's anything as good as these nut butters, it's going to be nice. They use premium nuts. No weird oils or flavoring like almost every other nut butter. Their nuts are high in protein, and their dark chocolate is 10 times the antioxidants of blueberries. Ever heard of it?

I have. We had pancakes randomly for breakfast this morning, and guess what we had for a little like one special. I didn't let the kids have all of them with the nut butters. But man, one of them was a special dark chocolate almond butter pancake. Guess if they devoured them or if they just like kind of just push them off to the side. They devoured them. Good guess.

Is Fortunato that good? Check them out on the link in our description. Fortunatochocolate.com slash GRKC. Yes. Please do. Please support them. They're a great company. Did you see one of the ghosties commented that Fortunato was like,

like their actual storefront was like right down the road, like a walking distance from them at their job in Washington, which is just crazy. Like, yeah, I know the headquarters down the street. So, yeah, check them out, fortinautotroglo.com. That's pretty fun. Pretty fun. Pretty, pretty, pretty fun.

That's pretty cool. Brad, what's your win of the week? It is Wednesday, after all. My win of the week. So, my caption for this is that I threw the no hitter of dad nights the other day. So timing your casual sports fan, would you say maybe even less than maybe obviously in baseball and no hitter, there's something called no hitter and there's something called a perfect game. Okay. You had some walks. I had, I had a few walks. So, so the, the no hitter means in

baseball, like you can have an error or something. Like, the pitcher can have the right pitch, and the fielder could drop the ball or something. It doesn't go against the pitcher. He can still get a no-hitter. He did his job. Perfect game means everything went perfect. Everybody on the whole team did. So, anyway, had the no-hitter of dad nights the other night.

Catherine was out, I think, at book club, maybe with your wife. But the kids all ate great. I mean, and it wasn't like we weren't eating, you know, pancakes and Fortnite chocolate. We were having like things that they don't just automatically love all the time, but they ate really well. I made a recipe along with Catherine using the instant pot, which is kind of complicated. And I did it correctly. I didn't like mess it up. It wasn't gross or anything. Um, Bo behaved, which is a big deal these days, like in the rest of the kids, but Bo especially. Um, but, and so because Bo behaved and because Bo like, uh, earlier in the morning, uh, like when he woke up, he went to the bathroom by himself. Like we didn't have to tell him. And then he went right

back to his room. Like he's supposed to. So I going to, I was like, we're going to do, we're going to do a s'mores outside and, uh, or not s'mores. We were just going to roast marshmallows out in the Brio fire pit. And, uh, while we were getting ready for that, I hear a pretty blood curdling scream from Rosie. Uh, she had fallen a little bit off of the deck. She's, she's getting really good at going down the stairs, but this one specific time she, I don't know how it happened, but she fell and had a pretty good little scrape on her forehead. And so I was like, Oh my gosh, this is not good. Uh, luckily she bounced back incredibly well. That's the Ellis way. That's the Ellis way. I put her down for her sleep, her sleep, put her to bed. And then after that, yeah,

I was going to be like, okay, it's time to time to go have marshmallows. I go out and then we're like, I like the kids helped me get the fire ready. Like I taught him how to like make a fire and how to situate and stuff. It was like such a proud, like, Oh, I'm, I'm, I'm doing something as a dad. Yeah. They're going to say like, I know how to make a fire. My dad taught me and you know, we get the fire going and then we go inside to get the marshmallows. Can't find them. And like, I just, I just always assume like we have a few marshmallows in the, in the stock. Like I don't, I didn't know we had marshmallows for sure, but I was like, surely we do. And I was about to give up and just be like, I don't know, guys, let's have some Fortnano chocolate or something. And Hattie's like, well, let me bring in a stool and I can look with you.

And I was like, great. And if you know, we have a little pantry. I mean, it's, it's a walk-in pantry, but it's tiny. And of course, whatever Hattie does, Bo does. So all of a sudden there's three of us in there. The kids are both standing up on stools, looking around and Hattie finds the s'mores. Oh, how do you find some marshmallows? Yeah. And so we have a wonderful night of marshmallows and we read our books outside, put them to bed. They all behaved perfectly. And it was the no hitter of dad. Dang. When is this? Oh, probably the week of grande debut. I think maybe like the Wednesday before. Not bad. So yeah, it was awesome. It was a great time with my kids. And it was like one of those things where it's like, I'm gonna do something fun. And so often when you do something fun, the kids kind of react by loving the fun thing and then

still not remembering it five minutes later and getting in a bad mood. Like, Oh, I don't want to go to like, they all understood everything we were doing and they reacted well to the fun thing and to the thing afterwards. So it was great.

That's got to feel good. You guys feel like that's like a major stride probably in parenthood. Like, yes, we are like, we are moving the ball down the field. It is gonna, it is slowly getting easier.

Right? Yes. Slowly. Yes. So. With each kid each day. Yes. Especially with Bo, it's just such a win anytime he behaves well and serves others and helps out.

He's the man. Yeah. Yeah. Win. Cool. My win of the week, I feel like just recently, more than ever lately,

I've just been telling Rachel, I love my life. This is awesome. Just everything is going great. I'm on tour. The grande bout was awesome. Everything is going great. I'm on tour.

Wow, pro qualifier i know yeah so if he wins he could be a pro or was that yeah he'll like make it to the pro bracket and what's kind of fun is that he will be i mean probably the last seed if he does make it so he will be playing like the best players in the world like his first game on friday or saturday whenever that is that'd be kind of fun like he'll get to say like yeah I played against,

you know, probably Ben Johns, Tyson McGuffin or something. So he's like in the play-in game right now. Yes. He's a play-in game, but March Madness totally starts Thursday, you know, whatever.

Wow. So he might only have to win one match. He doesn't know yet if it's one or two, but it might just be one play-in game. If he wins, then yeah, he's in. Okay.

But yeah, Ghosties, you guys are the best out there. Best podcast community in the world. Really appreciate you. Tell a friend

if you want someone to get in on the, Oh, we need a YouTube comment. Sorry. Let's end it with a YouTube comment of the week. Yeah. Um, I got one from Abby Kurtz. She's great. Just consistent. I mean, talk about a light. Uh, Abby Kurtz said, wow, I enjoyed this episode so much. I thought it was so sweet when Brad teared up talking about his dad. Also, I liked hearing Jake's answer for whether he and Rachel will homeschool their future kids. She's a kid herself. Yeah, I really got put on the spot there. I also just laughed so many times during the episode. Schmores

with Scott Harrison roasting the B&B lady and Scott telling the water balloon story. Non-stop laughs. Thank you. Yeah. Oh, Harry. Working in our pajamas today. Oh, you got pajama pants over there. Oh my gosh. Oh, the yeah. It was not that funny at the time,

but man, it was funny later. It's way funnier now. Gosh. Okay. My comment of the week comes from Teresa Teresa. This comes from that same episode, the Grande Boo Live show. She said, seriously,

you didn't show time of doing his rap, dot, dot, dot. Who's on camera angle. It was a great question. And then someone replied and goes, it was timing. Time goes, yeah. I mean the camera's battery died as we were recording.

So yeah, it did not really much we could do there. I haven't watched the, uh, this, yeah, this week's grind to be episode. What'd you end up doing with the focus thing? You still use it? I used

a couple small shots with the wide angle but mostly just like alternating between the two. We had one more camera that was set up to see all of us but there were some lights in the front of the stage that were messing with the focus of the camera and so all of a sudden we couldn't really use much of it. It's kind of a bummer.

It added a lot more work to time and plate. But the guy can do it. Problem. No problem. The question that I want to ask is just who's on camera angle. Who's on camera. Who's on first. Who's on camera.

Hey, timing, you go, you go on camera angle and you also go singing something like Bieber in the house, time in the house, dot, dot,

dot timing in the house. You go singing. All right. Good episode. Thank you guys for listening. Thank you for supporting us. Thanks for supporting time. And yeah,

thanks for supporting Brad. Thanks for supporting me. Yep. Love you guys. See you next Monday. Cool. Ghost from the spot. Ghost from the spot.

Everybody morning. We're taking back. Ghost from the spot. Yeah. Ghost from the spot. Yeah. Good morning. We're taking ground. Let's go to Spodcast. Go for a podcast.
