Hey, I guess they're right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can't still serve a purpose. I'll be right back. Don't you go dying on me! Oh! Where's the booze? I got robbed by a sweet old lady on a motorized cart. Didn't even see it coming. Oh.

Harry? No. Harry? No. Come on, Harry. No. Cheer up No. Come on, Harry. No. Cheer up. It gets worse, Lloyd.

My parakeet, Petey? Yeah? He's dead. Oh, man. I'm sorry, Harry. What happened? His head fell off. His head fell off?

Yeah, he was pretty old. That's it? I've had it with this dump. We got no food. We got no jobs. Our pet's heads are falling off! Okay, just calm down. What the heck are we doing here, Harry?

We gotta get out of this town! Yeah? Go where? Where are we gonna go? I'll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where the beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.

I'm talking about a little place called Aspen. I don't know, Lloyd. The French are idiot holes. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I know what you're up to, mister. Yeah, you want to just go to Aspen to find that girl who lost her briefcase and you need me to drive you there.

Right? Am I right? Yeah. Am I right? Am I right? So? So to go someplace where we know somebody who could plug us into the social pipeline. No, no, no, no, no.

No, Lloyd. No. I say we stay here, we hunt for jobs, and we keep saving our money for the worm store. I don't know about you, but I'm getting sick and tired of running from creditors. You know what I'm sick and tired of, Harry? I'm sick and tired of having to eek my way through life. I'm sick and tired of being a nobody. But most of all, I'm sick and tired of having to eek my way through life. I'm sick and tired of being a nobody. But most of all, I'm sick and tired of having nobody.

Okay, Lloyd Aspin, it is. You better not be fooling. Okay, okay, just let it out. Have a good cry. Welcome back, everybody. Podcast time. What was that? What did I just say?

Welcome back, everybody. It was like a song, say uh welcome back everybody we are at the podcast that's weird uh ghost runners at the podcast ghost runners podcast episode 26 uh what's significant about 26 brad 26 is uh damian williams uh number for the chiefs he's going to score four touchdowns by the time you've heard this. Wow. Write it down, everyone. Er, it's already been written down. The freaking heater, Brad. Dang it.

The heater. All right, I went and turned it off. Once again, as always, we're in Brad's workshop. It's 1045 at night, and it's a little chilly in Kansas. We'll be fine. So Brad usually likes to get a little warmed up, and then we crank the heat. Yeah, crank it before I turn it off when we get rolling and two episodes in a row we forget to

turn it off so whoops a daisy you're gonna hear a slight hum in the background whoops a daisy but uh it's podcast time i straight up uh don't even know where to go from here i'm just excited so many things have happened once again let's talk about them okay you first oh. I don't, there's not been that much that's happened to me. This week has been somewhat chill for me. I have little things that have happened to me. That's cool. But honestly, just mostly just getting stuff done in the workshop. Nothing too exciting.

Did another project for my ex-girlfriend's now boyfriend's mother and father. So just continually um making profits off that uh failed relationship of mine um so that's exciting um i think i'm gonna do something else for them next month wow they love you she keeps being like hey i got another project for you i'm like great trying to get you back in the family a little bit uh i don't i hope not you know but like there's gonna be some strings. Like we'd love to have you buy like for Christmas dinner to eat on the table. Does this include, uh, you know, you also coming over and making sure that, um, everything works okay. Like function wise and like once every two weeks you come over, do you mind just filling, filling you,

you and your family in on the table and we can all sit around it and talk and get to know each other once every week or something like that. No, I don't think it's anything like that. This question a lot. So I apologize if it's repetitive, but there's no dowry included in the table. There's nothing with your family or real estate or any kind of... I will say this. Another thing that happened with woodworking is right after we had recorded last week, I had to go redo that table because it was too much hardwood on the table. I was going to ask you about that. Your're wouldn't table at too much wood. And I think I've already told you this, but, uh, after we got done recording, I sprayed a ton more on, you remember that? Like, and let it, let it dry.

Like, like just sprayed it and got out because it was like a cloud of, of finish smoke in here. Uh, come back to make sure everything was good before I went to bed. It was like three o'clock in the morning by that point. Cause we didn't, we got done recording late, looked to make sure everything was good because they were going to come back and pick it up the next morning. Notice there was a fly that had gotten stuck in the finish. Like that episode. Yes. It was very much so like that. The most pointless breaking bad episode of all time, by the way. It sucks. But so I had to literally like sand it all out, sand all that finish, that huge like plastic,

like half inch worth, not really half inch, but lots of finish and reapply. And I stayed up to like 6 a.m. Whoa. Working on it. I was so frustrated because especially in the winter, there's no flies. Like in the summer, flies are everywhere.

You know, like you have to worry about stuff like that. But in the winter, it's very, very rare to have any kind of stuff. Where do bugs go in the winter? I think they die. So how do they come back to life in the spring? Yeah, you're right. I mean, maybe just the survival of the fittest and very few of them. So every year bugs are getting so much stronger. Maybe. Or, or just like the, like the, you have great genetics if you're a bug in the summer like oh yeah that guy you know that guy had lebron james and serena williams style genetics that's what i'm saying like yeah so every new spring like only the strongest little like house flies live on i don't know if that's true i'm not a scientist i'm not

trying to act like i am so fact check me on that only i'm legit curious only like big birds fly south for the winter like surely surely a house fly is not taking the yeah 2 000 mile trip down south yeah because i think house flies only live like 24 hours okay so where do they go like underground i don't know man oh this is gonna bug me a little bit but oh i'm not gonna google now i'll google later bug me where do they go huh but that's that's about the extent of my highlighted things oh and then we can also talk about uh halloween happened this week for me um it did for me too did it yeah uh because i remember you not really remembered that it was halloween that's true uh we went to we always go to my aunt's house and we uh had hattie dress up as Raggedy Ann and go all

around she did not want to wear the wig though so really she just looked kind of like a cute girl and with freckles on her face a little like Laura Ingalls Wilder character yeah something almost like like oh are you Dorothy with the checkered dress no no Raggedy Ann but uh she loved once she figured out that she could just go to all these houses and they would give her candy, she was all about it. Halloween's a pretty cool concept. It's very cool. It's also very weird. What other days do strangers give you like anything for free? Is it just Halloween? I think so.

Fourth of July, strangers kind of give you entertainment for free. Like you don't deserve any part of that candy. No. You literally just say, hey, I'm going to say three words to you. And then you're going to give me this candy that you paid a good amount for. It is kind of funny to think about trick-or-treating. It's really funny. Because I don't have kids, and I haven't done it in a long time.

You just expect it, too. Like, you're frustrated if the people don't have any lights on in their house. Like, oh, I guess they're just not good enough to give us free candy. But anyway, just went up and down the street a little bit. I've decided and thank the Lord. Catherine also appreciates and agrees with me, but I will never be the dad that will do like a family costume. Like, all right, I'm going to be the lion. You'll be the scarecrow.

And Hattie can be whatever. Dorothy. Right. No way. Please don't. I said, unless I somehow have nine kids. Um, and in 10 years, I will be the full starting lineup for the Superbowl winning 2020, uh, Kansas City Chiefs. That's the only way I'll do it. So if you can, if you can feel the full 11

man team, exactly. Exactly. Something to shoot for. And if we win the Superbowl this year. Oh, okay. So a lot of things have to kind of fall in place. Lots of, yeah, lots of things to go right. So anyway, had a good time. I think Halloween honestly is the most overrated holiday as far as adult goes. Whoa. Kids, great. Pretty cool. Adults, I don't get it.

I don't get, I don't like costumes very much. Not a big costume guy. Never have been. Even when I was at camp and I was supposed to be like the fun guy that wore costumes. I like to be in different characters and stuff, but just didn't ever like costumes. So whatever that might offend some people. I don't want to, I don't, I don't want to leave a five-star review if I offended you, please. And we can talk about it. Um, but honestly that was, yeah, that's my feelings on Halloween.

That's cool. I, I was trying to form my own opinion about Halloween. I don't think I have much of one, right? I just don't really celebrate it. Right. Exactly. That's my feelings on halloween that's cool i i was trying to form my own opinion about halloween i don't think i have much of one right i just don't really celebrate it right exactly that's my point exactly like like you're adults don't need to celebrate it it's not a it's not a holiday for you right once you're 15 right 15 like yeah once i was in high school it was like no this is like really weird and probably like making us look like juvenile delinquents if we're out delinquents you know those those jewies are out again we put that in the next door app the delinquents are at it again they're knocking on doors and wanting candy well catherine yeah catherine was just reading the next door app and somebody was complaining about these thugs as they call them these thugs stole all our candy and then threw the candy bowl out and broke it

all over the street. We have it on video. Yeah. So we're going to let them know anytime they walk by, Hey, we got you on video. And also I just, it bends my knees.

Uh, cause I am praying to God that I'm thankful that I have grandkids that don't behave like this. That is what they said. They're like, yes, I'm so thankful, thankful to God that I don't have kids like this or grandkids.

Have you seen all that stuff that's gotten popular with the phrase in t-shirts, okay, boomer? Have you seen that? Oh, I saw something. I saw Rainn Wilson complaining about ageism or something with saying boomers is like a derogatory term now or something. Yeah, it's going to be pretty bad like on Twitter and everything. This one guy made $25,000 in t-shirt sales with t-shirts that just said,

okay, boomer. Okay. Because that's just like a phrase on the internet. Like that's a perfect example. Like the next door up, like this woman just like going on a tirade because kids took her candy. Okay. Boomer.

That's kind of been a thing probably forever though. There's always generational discrepancies and problems between them. It's fine. We'll get into that though. But I think we are the best, you know, we, we, we were born in the best time and we have the best childhood. So we can talk more about that later. And we just bridged the gap. We did, man.

We bridged it. We are the golden gate of people. Analog to digital. Yes, man. To Wi-Fi. Come again? To Wi-Fi. No, I heard you fine the first time.

What are you saying? That's what I'm talking about. That's the slow speed, like regular internet to Wi-Fi. No, I heard you fine the first time. What are you saying? Oh, you know what I'm talking about. Oh, that's the slow speed, like regular internet to Wi-Fi. We bridged that gap. Oh, I feel like Wi-Fi should have a noise too if you're going to make a noise for the first one. Oh.

Oh. See, it's fast. Very fast. Yes, like that. Do you think I could title the podcast that? Uh, yes. To yes like that do you think i could title the podcast that uh yes we all we all to maybe some emojis can you do emojis i've been seeing on the internet instagram.com mainly people using emojis to describe us the ghost like the snapchat emoji and then the guy running

oh it's kind of cool that is cool speaking of instagram i don't know if you guys have checked out the account ghostrunnerspod. Oh man. But it's kind of wild. Yeah. It's not Brad or I, uh, we don't know who it is. Someone out there made like a fan account for our podcast this week. And at first I was like, oh man, I don't know how I feel about this just because, because we don't have a presence on Instagram. Right. I was just afraid that like, I don't know, whatever, probably just the marketing major in me were like, this is the only representation we have on instagram and it's ran by someone else but they are killing it so they're hilarious they know way more than we do about our own podcast

they're like i had to a few times be like what did we when did we say this and then we're like oh yeah that's when we said it like but they remember things that we don't about our own podcast so check them out ghostrunners pod If you've been listening for a while, I think you really will enjoy it. Yeah. Like they put a story up on Halloween. There was like some costume ideas and there was like a last minute costume ideas for,

for if you're a ghost or they even, they've used the term ghost or it was like 25 different characters that we've said at some point on episodes. And someone was like, who is like, uh, what was it? Receptionist Dana.

Yeah. Like what, who is that Janice from just that one line you said, that's it. Yeah. Mr. Lamping. I just paid the yellow and we're going through. So they do thorough work. I don't know if they can keep this up, but it's pretty impressive. It's amazing. They even brought broccoli to Chick-fil-A. Yeah. Just to take that picture. Like picture like like i want to know was that on purpose or like do you have a kids that you were also bringing broccoli for either way leave us a five-star review and let us know that'd be that's the only way we'll see it yeah genuinely because

we're not uh checking out that instagram page ever you know so we would never see it on there so yeah give them a follow if you want and i'm sure it's really funny you're in a couple weeks or so we'll have our own podcast Instagram but yeah we're saving up we're saving up for it saving up some stuff mainly just I don't have the bandwidth

for it right now but we'll all get there someday we'll get there someday remember that song someday someday

ooh yeah in Maz Yahoo yeah someday I'll be free someday I'll be me I knew you would know it Someday, someday. Ooh. Yeah. Mars Yahoo. Yeah. Someday I'll be free. Someday I'll be me. I knew you would know it. Something I found on the sea.

I'll be near. Hi-oh. That's all I know. Do you know it? Do you think I do? I think I kind of know it. But then again, it's like, hey, it's a Mars Yahoo song. So it's like.

No, I'm just kidding. I asked if you knew it. Then you sang like, you know, several sentences of it. So I'm like, okay. So I hey, it's a Maz Yahu song. So it's like. No, I'm just kidding. I asked if you knew it. Then you sang like, you know, several sentences of it. So I'm like, okay. So I guess, I guess you do know. I do. I know it. Well.

Oh, Brad, ask, ask what I did this week. Hey, Jake, what did you do this week, man? Thank you for asking. I shot the TV, the show. Shot the. You shot the show. Shot the show. I shot the show, but I did not record the podcast. I shot the show.

But I did not record the podcast. I shot the show. Do it now. It was great. Except for waking up at 5 a.m. every day. It sucked. We feel you, people that have to do that. People with real jobs, how do you do it?

Do you wake up when it's dark? That sucks. And you get done with work when it's dark at this time of year. It sucks. Five days in a row. Dark to dark. Yeah. I remember hating that. Like I have not been outside when it's light outside today.

Well, the problem was we did go outside for some scenes and it was frigid. It snowed. One of the days where we needed a shot where Trey was mowing the lawn. So that sucks. Did you shovel the snow off or did it melt eventually and you just we yeah we kind of rearrange our schedule to shoot the indoor stuff first and then wait for the sun to come out and hopefully melt it that's funny but it definitely rearranged uh our plans a little bit but it was an awesome experience we're obviously i haven't edited it or anything we

don't really know what it's gonna look like but i think we're proud of it so far it's really cool to see something come to life that you worked hard on right so good times alex i put on my story yeah friend of the week just a good time so funny laughed but it's nice i understand i haven't seen that much new friend of the week yeah yeah i didn't see you much we didn't even get to redeem our free chick-fil-A. No, not once. Still went to Chick-fil-A, but separately. Did you? I don't know if I did. Oh, no, it's not true. I went to breakfast there with Isaac for his birthday.

Shout out, Isaac. $600 espresso, but free breakfast on his birthday. Nice. Yeah, his birthday's on Halloween. Yeah. That set back the old sleep schedule a little bit. This whole week, I was going to bed at like 10 and waking up at five. Which I'm more proud of you for that than anything I've ever seen you do in your life.

Yeah. But Isaac's birthday, not going to not hang out with Isaac. No. So. Especially because the next day was Friday, right? Yes. And so you just had to grind through one more day. Yeah.

So I slept from like one to five. Yeah. Still recovering a little bit. And going and flying to wisconsin tomorrow for the tour man two weeks in a row of you were just so busy with awesome things it's so awesome it is i'm very thankful i am so sad that i did not get tickets to your show in kansas city and you because they're every single one of them sold out which is awesome i did find out that uh people i know are going to be there okay so you did find somebody that can laugh at your jokes, even if they're not funny.

Yes. A couple of people texted me, some pod listeners said they got tickets. And then my sister was able to finagle a ticket. Oh gosh. I'm going to see how much she's willing to take my sister from the audience for you. We were talking earlier this week, you were saying like, you're going to practice your standup stuff. And I said, Jake, can I just sit there and purposely try not to laugh at anything just to prepare you for like worst case scenario. If you absolutely bomb and no one laughs at anything, I want to, I want to prepare you for that. It's a funny thought of me just delivering joke after joke. And you're just sitting there looking at me. Like, I'm not going to crack a smile. I'm not going to give you any kind of affirmation of this. This is terrible.

You do not want me to do it. The guy las vegas said do you have any coke do you want any coke and i said do you have any diet all right so that one didn't land uh vegas is cool though you get it though it's like not mountain dew it's like coca-cola but it's two two uh meanings it's not cocaine. He meant cocaine. Is this thing on? Can you guys hear me out there? Can we turn up the woofer? Can we turn up the woofer in here?

I don't think they're hearing me out of the woofers. No, uh-uh. That'd be awesome. But I declined. I was like, even though that would be funny, I would feel so uncomfortable. See, here's what I do. I would purposely not try to laugh one-on-one and then i would go to the show and over laugh at everything to the point where like people are like okay this guy's up here is not funny anymore

because this guy in the audience is so annoying he's being a little obnoxious yeah i've been rehearsing it a lot this week just to try and i don't want to get up there and have any uhs or ums i do that a lot on the podcast and it makes me self-conch so i really don't want to do that on stage and just know what's happening i think some of the jokes from the podcast are gonna make it like things i've said really so if you're coming to the show it's gonna be a little repeat information i'm very curious but do you know what i say right now oh no i guess i can't the one thing i think i'll tell a joke about that i've said on here was a true story that happened to me when this cute girl walks into chick-fil-a and within like eight seconds i had like completely planned out my life with her so i'm gonna go through of like what each like you

know her hair in a bun what that meant to me you know she ordered a salad what that meant to me and then some guy walks in it's cool one of my best friends growing up has started listening to our podcast scott and scott a old scott a scott a He, but he has started from the beginning. He's going pretty slow through, to be honest with you. I think he's probably only like eight episodes in. That's fine. But like is a huge fan of him. And just recently, he'll like live text me when he's listening to it and be like, oh,

that's hilarious, dude. That's awesome. You're going to need to remind me what you're talking about. Yeah, exactly. That was four months ago. But he said that, like that specific bit. Oh, no way. That was like so funny to him. Oh, that's yeah because i'm pretty nervous you're gonna do great man

i really really wish i could be there just laugh my butt off hey you guys hear this oh i can't imagine this and then trey comes on and i'm gonna i'm just gonna very very subtly the whole time. Boo. Not really. When does he do that in the office? When does he boo? At Sweeney Todd. Oh, that's right. That's so mean.

And then he like drops the wine bottle that goes all the way to the. Cling. Yeah, that's great. That's a funny episode. Do you think, have you found now that it's cold in Kansas City, do you ever think it gets colder once you get in your car? What do you mean? Like sometimes I'll be walking in my car,

be like, okay, it's chilly. And maybe it's something with like the activity of walking. And then once I get in my car, I'm like, Oh my gosh, you have no distractions.

You have no distractions. Is that what it is? It's like, I think that's what it's a mental thing. I don't think that it's colder in your car than it is outside. If anything, it's a little bit warmer. That's what I'm thinking.

No, no wind, but maybe, maybe, and maybe there's a little bit of like, you sit on a cold seat and then that just shoots right up into your wires your body yeah and then you touch the cold uh wheel oh cold wheel makes the rest of your body cold ouch i don't know but i don't think surely it's not i've just been thinking that a lot this week walking to my

car i feel fine i'm wearing enough layers to feel fine and the second i get my car man holy cow it's cold. It's rough. Yeah. I have the remote start now. And it's awesome. Speaking of being super rich, I bought AirPods this week. Did you? AirPods Pro.

Really? The brand new ones. The noise canceling ones. Oh, yeah. Okay. I haven't really used them yet. So I can't really say anything else about them. That's funny.

I almost bought some in New York when we were there. Really? Like knockoff brand. Chinatown seriously in china town because i was like this would be fun to like mess with these people you know they were offering them for like 50 bucks i got them down to like 17 and i finally and i finally was like uh i'm gonna go talk to my wife you know she she might not want me she'll need me to sign off on a purchase like this classic classic always blame the other person like yeah i'll have to see if she'll you know be okay with it and walked away sorry my mom said i can't spend the night sorry sorry guys i i just i thought you were homesick bro no no i really want to stay but mom says i have to get you know go to bed because i gotta get up early for our baseball tournament so wait

you called her earlier and she said that yeah i. I don't know. Yeah. I was just calling her to check in. And then she said, no, you have to be home. Anyway. So you didn't buy the AirPods? Did not buy them. But because I thought, when would I actually use these? Exactly. And I really don't know.

And I think you could probably have more time to use them than I do. But I get two weeks to take them back if I don't like them. I can get all my money back. And so next week will be a good real world example of using them. Being on the road and flying and driving and whatnot. Yeah, I think if you're traveling, they'd be worth it. In New York, everyone had them. Really?

No one had corded ones. No cords. They were all AirPods. AirPods. It will be nice because whenever I travel, I carry two sets of headphones. iPhone headphones, normal. Eighth inch, you know, headphones. Now, just the pods.

Just the pods. The ear pods. Also. It's exciting. Back to the cold weather thing. I just now remembered I was getting my AirPods when it was snowing. I went to the Plaza Apple store. Several people umbrella in the snow.

No. Yeah. Don't do that. I thought that was weird too. I was like, I don't know if I've ever seen this. Which state were you in for this Apple store? This would have been the Plaza store in Missouri. Okay. That makes sense then. Okay. Yeah. I, that no Kansas people do not use umbrellas for the snow. They don't even sell them. It's kind of like liquor in Kansas. You can't even buy it from like a convenience store. Not on Sundays.

Not on Sundays. Cause we're holy baby. Not anymore, actually. But that's, yeah, that's interesting. I thought it was weird. Yeah, because it's not that moist. It was a light dusting. Yeah. We use our umbrellas in New York a lot because it rained, obviously, not snow. And there was one night after Phantom of the Opera where we got out and it was hilarious. Like it was one of the funniest things. We got out and it was so windy, but there was this

one point where it was kind of like the building was blocking the wind. And then all of a sudden, like you were crossing a street and there was no more blockage of the wind. And we were waiting for our Uber right by where this like basically basically this huge wind tunnel was and i just recorded uh these people people getting blasted yes like like their umbrellas were literally getting destroyed almost instantly in this wind like like they would just like you know go inside out and just fly like fly back towards them and stuff and it was kind of like that video have you ever seen that video of that dad that's like picking up towards them and stuff. And it was kind of like that video. Have you ever seen that video of that dad? That's what I was thinking of his daughter. And it's like,

I see he's going to fall. He's going to fall. Oh, you're going to fall. You know, it was like that. And Catherine and I just felt so bad, but we just like,

I just held my phone. It was so obvious that I was recording because I hadn't even on like portrait mode, like having it on his side, just hold it on my chest, just watching these people just get devoured by this. Oh, it was probably the funniest thing. Our whole trip was just watching these people just get devoured by this wind blasted oh it was probably the funniest thing our whole trip was just watching watching these people just get and we could have usually

just been like hey shut your shut your umbrellas and you'll be okay but we it's like it's way more fun oh my gosh it was awesome so that that that's weird about the umbrellas at the apple store sorry to hijack that no it's great experience for you, but that's Missouri for you, I guess. That is Missouri. I don't know. Do you want to keep doing updates, Brad, or would you want to get into our new segment? Yeah, unless you have updates. I don't have much.

A lot of dates. Yeah, I have little things that are just more random, but nothing really. I wrote down the word ambulance spelled backwards on the car. I think that's a little extra. What? You know what I'm talking about? Every ambulance always like it spells it backwards

at the front of the car. Why? So that in your rear view mirror, you can see that it's an ambulance. Oh, really? Not a lot of cars look like an ambulance. No, and I don't need to know. No other cars sound like an ambulance. No. And I don't need to know. No other cars sound like an ambulance.

That's also a good point. I just, for some reason that dawned on me this week, an ambulance was behind me. Cause I've always known that. I don't know why now I'm feeling a little weird that you didn't know it, but no. Yeah. I remember learning that. I probably just noticing it when I was little, my parents being like, oh yeah, it's so you can read it in your rear view mirror.

But this week I was like, what in the world? the world ambulance is one of the most unique looking vehicles i am not reading if an ambulance is behind me well and i anytime i see any kind of lights boom get over like i'm done like it doesn't i don't need no problem yeah i thought that was so weird no need to justify it like if you have lights on your car even if you're a fraud i'll get out of the way yes yeah i'll i'll let somebody else figure out what's going on pret get out of the way yes yeah i'll i'll let somebody else figure out what's going on pretentious of the ambulance i think i'm not reading that's so interesting like hey these lights flash behind me uh what is it though what is it i think it says papa john's no no no i'm i'm going i'm going through i'm anticipate the yellow and we're going through

like i'm just no of course not like i'll get over for you ambulance yes that's funny i guess that's all i have to say i didn't really think about what else i was going to say other than just like that's weird oh it's like imagine yeah i guess not pulling over like sorry i just maybe if the if the letters were backwards and i could read it through my mirror i would have pulled over and someone's like fine oh i do have uh one other thing to talk about cool um so we went to lunch today at Beer Kitchen. Yeah, I was there. In Westport.

I had a little bit of another funny experience in the bathroom. Oh, boy. So this bathroom, unlike the one in Chipotle, was two bathrooms, both gender neutral bathrooms. Oh, really? Okay. Wait, wait, wait. Both of them are... Single use.

Anything goes. Single, really? Okay. So wait, wait, wait. Both of them are single use. Single use gender neutral, which first of all, I think is a great idea for a restaurant because if I'm going to the bathroom in a gender neutral bathroom, I am much more careful about aiming. Yeah. You're lifting up the seat. A little more respectful. I'll be honest. Yeah. Like I'm like, well, a woman could come in there after me or when I'm in here, you never know. No, no, no. It's, it's, it's a single use, but still you never know. Right. I guess that's true. Gotta be careful. Um, keep talking. I'm going to adjust your mic. Oh, thank you. Um, you did a great job of keep talking. Oh gosh. You're right. You're right. Hey. Um, so I'm waiting in line. Okay. There's a guy in front of me waiting

in line as well. Uh, guy gets out. Okay, let's just imagine this for a second. Let's get their name so it helps. Okay, Jason's waiting in line with me. There's a right and a left bathroom. Paul gets out of bathroom on the right. Jason goes in. Jason, we can hear Jason flush. It's probably, I'm waiting about one minute after Jason's.

And no noises from left? No noises from the left. That is correct. That is key. Okay, okay? No noises from the left. That is correct. That is key. Okay, okay. No noises from the left. We hear Jason flush. And it's been about a minute.

By the way, I was waiting in line with Jason for about three minutes before that. Oh, a long time. You guys talk? I said, we wait in line. And he nodded. You had sunglasses on inside. I don't want to talk about Jason too much. Jason was probably from Missouri. I'm just going say that you asked him we waiting in line question

mark i just wanted to make sure that this was a line for the bathroom i don't know i don't know cool i i don't know instead of being like uh whatever he maybe he's waiting for his girlfriend to get out or something which is weird doing laundry so uh laundry later no i'm waiting in line cool me too what do you have what do you have tonight um no okay i didn't ask uh so he he's in right somebody's in left i hear jason finishing up after one minute aka jason went number one yes all of a sudden uh-oh left is getting done and left is coming out of and and, and at this point, somebody will call her Monica is waiting behind me in life. Oh, I know where this is going.

Do I? So I was, I was either like, well, it's obvious that the one on the right is going to be plenty smelling fine. Pretty fresh. Pretty obvious. The one on the left, if we're going with context clues, it's not going to be smelling so good. However, I'm first in line. Monica's behind me

and is this person come out yet no not yet okay still an unknown but it was like it sounded like it was about to and in fact the left opens first with the six minute um occupier which was who um we'll call her um oh boy we'll call her i don't know how uh well i'll try to keep it somewhat uh tasteful we'll call her hey ping okay got it um but hey ping gets out of bathroom on the left and monica's behind me but in my head i'm like i just want to wait for bathroom on the right yeah bathroom on the right is by far the better choice i trust jason to smell better yeah jason he might have missed a little bit because he had his sunglasses on but besides that we're fine

had to go on the had to go to the left though oh no and didn't smell great hey ping um did a little something in there. Did a little damage. Did she drop an A-bomb? Oh gosh. Oh like Nagasaki. Up in here. It was I got in and got out. But then Monica was still waiting in line. I don't know what happened to Jason. And then Monica had to go in there.

Maybe Monica thought I was Hiroshima. Could have been. Stinkoshima. Anyway. Maybe Jason did a courtesy flush. Maybe. He might have gone after it right away. maybe monica thought i was you know hiroshima could have been um stink oshima anyway maybe jason did a courtesy flush maybe he might have gone after it right away yeah that could be um anyway it was just a very odd unique situation that i was like i don't find myself in this situation very often but if monica was not behind me i would have easily waited for jason oh i can wait um anyway that that's great yeah glasses on the inside yes unless you're casey neistat don't do that it was just like no we don't we don't need that what is the point i

wonder i think sometimes i'll give people the benefit of the doubt that they forget they have them on sure that's my only thought of like surely this is the only reason you're doing this because it wasn't even that bright of a day outside. It's not. So overcast. Oh, wait. Speaking of sunglasses, I have a quick story. Not about me, but my friend from college, Anderson. Yes. You know, Anderson.

Oh yeah. My dentist for a while. Right now I don't have a dentist actually. If anyone's a dentist, I can't say I could use one in a while. Okay. That's not what the story is. Anderson was, he graduated early and then did some dentistry in Ecuador. Gosh, that's like two humble brags in

one for anderson yeah yeah yeah nice guy good guy smart honors program member okay so he fellow honors program i didn't say fellow let's say i didn't say fellow i know it is though i know that's how you met him true it's true yeah but yeah we kind of saw each other like wait you're normal you're normal yes all right normal. Yes. All right, cool. We can be friends. So he's in Ecuador and he would always have some funny, crazy stories of just, you know, one doing dental work in South America, but two, one thing that happened, there was a lot of crime. I think one time his like backpack got slashed in like the train there, like the bottom of it got slashed. So just like stuff falls out. Oh yeah. People just like

knife your backpack. If it looks like there's a bunch of stuff in there. Yeah. And then just cause a commotion to start picking up your stuff. Oh. That's not even the story. One time he had pretty nice sunglasses on and he's riding the train and they're going under a like tunnel or whatever. So it goes from very bright to very dark and then like goes under the tunnel and like there's

a few bumps or whatever. He doesn't notice anything. Gets all the way home and realize it like 30 minutes later someone stole my sunglasses right off of my face what it took him yeah he said like 20 30 minutes before he realized it because he got bumped and then it went so dark they pickpocketed his sunglasses off his face off his face and then it comes back to light out of the tunnel and it's just like oh it's bright again you don't notice how like big of a contrast it was he's confident that they did not just like fall off like he's confident somebody like forcefully got them off i think because he'd already been stolen

from and it's like a big deal down there like that's amazing yeah isn't that crazy yes whenever i studied in spain studied abroad in spain like the first like couple weeks there i was so scared of getting pickpocketed i had like this this thing that I like, my wallet was like around my neck and like underneath my shirt and everything. Around your neck? What size is his wallet? It was like, no, it was like a specific like study abroad wallet thing. Are you a scared American? Yes, pretty much. Kind of like, you know, you want to wear that right up here by the breastbone. Yeah. But yeah, by the end of it, I was not worried. But I was so nervous because it's like, yeah, they're really good at pickpocketing.

And so I was like thinking everyone was going to pickpocket me all the time. Was always like holding my pockets whenever I would pass people and stuff. It was ridiculous. Just walking around waddling basically. Like don't let the wallet like, you know, move too much in your pocket. Here's something else, Brad, for you. And then we'll get into our new segment. You'll be so proud of Trey. Two weeks ago, I forgot to update you.

The week before that on the podcast, your poultry of the week was businesses that shut down before they say they're going to. Yes. Trey and I went and got some dinner when we were in Newport Beach. And afterwards, ice cream was sounding good. Oh, yeah. On this gelato spot. Oh, yeah. Will you see on the door

oh they don't close till nine what time is it oh 8 50 oh my gosh yeah plenty we walk in so unlocked we walk in and they just look us in the eyes and say nah we're closed like what and so i walked out trey did not walk out oh no way baby yeah he said attaboy trey no your door says nine correct opinion that was his correct opinion and his correct statement yeah yeah he said no baby. Yeah. He said, out of boy, Trey. No, your door says nine. Correct opinion. That was his correct opinion. And his correct statement. Yeah. Yeah. He said, no, your door says nine. Factual opinions. Exactly. Yeah. So what happened? So we, we walked back in there. We got that gelato. Yeah. It was awesome. Let's go. Yeah. It was like $7 for like three ounces. That's California cheap right there though. And just gelato in general. It's just so expensive.

Good for him though. Yeah. I knew you'd be proud. Yes. Like, yeah, it just makes perfect sense. If you're saying you're open until nine, be open until nine. If you, if it's 901, be closed, be so close. And I would understand.

So smug. Oh, so smug and arrogant. I think it's time for our new segment. Roll, roll the segment music. Toss up. We didn't go over the segment music. You can tell. All right.

From the top. All you, baby. Toss up. Toss. Up. Up. Toss up. Toss. Up, up. Toss ball. All right. It's called Toss Up.

So it's called Toss Up. This specific week, the Toss Up theme is going to be childhood. So we're each going to decide something. Childhood. Brad is, I made a list of things, of options. Yes. And the theme is childhood. And then we are going to decide which side of it we toss towards.

Yeah. Couldn't have explained that any better if I had a second try. I think everyone understands toss up. So it's fine. Do you need me to go over more? No, let's get right into it. Let's do it. And these are not going to necessarily go age specific you know young to old um myspace versus zanga the original social networks i personally one two three my zanga oh wow really

yeah myspace was excuse me i i'm so sorry for saying this but it was total crap there was nothing fun about it it moves slowly i don't know how you blogged on it but zanga you could say currently listening to currently watching sometimes i would lie about what i was currently listening to and watching because i was trying to be like a little bit like edgy no i was at lincoln park like currently watching last samurai no i really was guys. It's good guys. My parents wouldn't let me watch Rated R. I know they do. It's like a, it's like a clean Rated R though. It's just violence.

Just really thinking about life. And you know, you comment on other people's all the time. You could have like your own song in the background. Great time. Wait, you could have a song in the background? You could like, so right when you pull it up, you could have Kelly Clarkson's Since You've Been Gone or something like that.

I don't remember that. Miss Independent. That's probably my favorite Kelly Clarkson song. Me too. It's so good. The verse sucks though. But the chorus doesn't matter. It hits so hard.

Oh my gosh. It's so good. Seriously. I love that song. Yes. It's so good. It is awesome. It's so boring for like the first minute.

But then it slaps. It comes in hot. I think that's part of why it's so good is because it is so slow at the beginning and then it just gets right in there and just says it's kind of our podcast like our first 20 minutes we're still we're kind of warming up we're revving up the engine yeah we're old work truck at that point you know and then the the best parts always come once the camera dies like an hour into it and then i have nothing for instagram that was funny by the way you should check out jake Instagram, uh, and see the clip

that he posted. Cause he ran out of, uh, clips of himself. Oh yeah. Brad's phone died. So it was only video of Brad. Yeah. So I just tried my best. I thought it was so good. It's so funny, but, um, that's such a great joke, by the way, that we came up with on the spot. I don't play for the Patriots for call or for Madden, but call it, call it, dude. That's so good. Okay. So I could, I guess my main point was going to be oh that's interesting you say you you could talk about what you're listening to on myspace you could actually listen to it but i guess that's on both you're saying what i remember though myspace you could have like four songs or five songs like you have like a playlist on there or something if

you were a band if you were an artist you can have a band myspace but individually you just you know you had your own like wallpaper and your song yeah i remember mine was usually t-pain really which correct correction from last week someone corrected me on instagram i said that five o'clock in the morning was a lowane song it's not it was t-pain i should know better the only two artists i listened to in 2008 so the 50 50 shot i remember mine was beck e-pro you know that song? Someone said I looked like Beck one time. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na. No clue. Okay. You do kind of look like Beck.

Thank you. You look more like that other person that they said you looked like, though. John Cryer. Oh, yeah. But like, not really. Like, you kind of look like him. Anyway.

Good enough for me. MySpace was cool, though. It was fine. Let's keep going. Top. Yeah, let's move on. Okay. Next one, also in the electronics. Wait, you've got to be friends with MySpace is cool though. It was fine. Let's keep going. Top. Yeah, let's move on. Okay. Next one.

Also in the electronics. You got to be friends with MySpace Tom. That's kind of cool. You did. That's fine. I still follow him on Instagram. He took his money. He sold Yahoo and he like travels the world as a photographer.

Really? I'm pretty sure he's MySpace Tom on Instagram. That's awesome. He takes good pictures. All right, we can move on now. It's amazing how irrelevant those platforms are, but how long Facebook and Twitter have stayed around. Yeah. You think about that? Innovation. It is crazy though. That excites. Like they've, they've continually, yeah. Evolved. I remember when Facebook came out with infinite

scroll. That's so like, that makes so much sense now. It bothered me so much at first, but it was like, well, I can just keep scrolling. And now it's like, you can literally spend a whole day if you want to. They redefined the internet. No one had ever done infinite scroll before. Yeah, it's everywhere. Yeah. Okay. Electronic realm as well, I guess.

This is a gift that you're getting. Or this is a personal possession that you could have. Would you rather have a DVD player? Okay. Or a non-skip CD player? Is this portable DVD player? Sure. Yes.

Ooh. Yes. All right. I would say portable DVD player. Non- dvd player or in sure yes oh yes all right i would say portable dvd player non-skip cd player dang it the the skippable cds were the worst like i don't think i had that much trouble with skipping cds i mean i probably had a non-skipper like i did i you could just like i remember it was like my sisters so i was the youngest by a long shot my sisters eight years older than me and 10 years older than me so i was the youngest by a long shot my sisters are eight years older than me and 10 years older than me so i borrow their cd players sometimes you like pick them up barely barely move them and they'll skip on you which is such a problem that we don't have to worry about anymore and don't even think about is like skipping cds but

back then it was like and it was like any little scratches messed it up? Oh, man. But then I got one that was like a 41. You scratched my CD. What? Come on. Yeah. The DC Talks CD is scratched. Wait, do you know what I was quoting from The Ringer? No, never seen that.

That's cool. No worries. Anyway, but DVD players were also like crazy. Road trips? I remember when they first came out. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's like an eight-inch screen, but it was still so cool. Yeah, I never had one of those. Never had a portable. Oh those never had oh you never had a portable i don't want to talk about

it but um wow and look you know you have a remote start truck yeah exactly a myspace to facebook you know how much does a remote start cost uh to implement one to implement yes i would guess three hundred dollars whoa maybe $200. Last year, my mom offered to get me that for Christmas. That's a great gift. I don't know why I said no. I think I just was like, oh, don't worry about it. Because I've thought about it for so many years, like since high school. And every year I'm like, no, I don't need that. And every year, like five different times, I'm like, man, I would really love to have one of those. I've never parked in a garage in my life. Right. I haven't either. I want to. It should be nice.

It would be nice. It could, should, would be. Anyway, Portal of the Deep players were great. They were. Okay. Toss up. Next toss up. Nutty bars or oatmeal cream pies?

This is so not even like close. It is. Oatmeal cream pies. No, nutty bars, dude. Are we going to agree on anything? Nutty bars were awesome. Nutty bars are the things that if they start to melt, look a little bit like a turd. Is that what we're talking about?

They come in like kind of the Twix style, two narrow bars in one package. Sure. Yes. I think we're, but they're like more wafer. Big wafer. Yes. They're not like the Ho-Ho, you know, those kinds of turds. No, no, no.

Yeah. They're wafery. Yes. No, they're good. But Omeo cream pie, like I get excited when I see those. Really? Yeah, because they taste so good. No, I think Nutty Bars are like the Reese's of wafer crisps.

What does that mean? Meaning like they're like peanut butter, chocolate. Okay. They're awesome. Yeah, but they're also like, what's the opposite of dense? I don't know. They lack density. Shallow.

I don't know. Yeah, they're light. They're fluffy. I don't like that. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. They're light. They're fluffy. I don't like that. You don't like that. You had the Reese's egg around Easter time. Sure. Those puppies are dense and they're awesome.

Those puppies are very rich. Yes. Yeah. They're great. Yes. Okay. Next. Would you rather have a bike with pegs on it or a razor scooter?

Bike with pegs. Absolutely. Bike with pegs. There we go. Finally. Was not a scooter guy at all. Had bikes with pegs on it or a razor scooter? Bike with pegs. Absolutely bike with pegs. There we go, finally. Was not a scooter guy at all. Had bikes with pegs, never pegged anybody. Like, wouldn't peg you for a quitter. Wouldn't peg you at all. I never gave anyone a peg ride.

I don't know if you know what that word means. Peg? There's an inappropriosity with peg? Yeah. Oh my gosh. I'll tell you afterwards. But I mean, I can probably. Peg ride is fine.

Yeah. Because they were mainly used. I think they were originally supposed to use for tricks, right? Correct. You can like, I went through a little BMX stage. Yeah. Oh, I know. My bikes were always BMX bikes and mountain bikes are so much easier to ride.

But I would always have the BMX ones because they were cooler. I wonder why I got, because I'm thinking have the BMX ones because they were cooler. I wonder why I got, cause I'm thinking that was before I even moved to Stratford. Like I was still a city boy. Oh yeah. And I had a BMX face. Maybe that's why.

You're Matt Hoffman. Yeah. Who I sky dot do divined with. How about that? We don't say sky divined. I'll tell you later what it means. You skydive with him? Gross. Don't say that.

He opened up your parachute? Ew, dude. Dude, no, man. That's gross. Don't do that. Emergency parachute? Ew. No, dude.

He was with you, with you, in the... What? He... He... He... What? I don't know, man. What were you trying to say? I don't know i don't know i don't know it doesn't matter okay um did you have pigs in the front and the back or just the back i don't know if i ever had them i think i was just i wanted you wanted them yeah because i did have a bmx bike i had them in the back and i got them installed at toys r us i remember that good for them them. Yeah. RIP to that as well.

They're out of biz. Wow. Okay. Let's see. I'm so sorry about how much I struggled through that phrase. My gosh. Okay. I like that joke though, moving forward with like saying like, oh, you know what that means? Okay. I'll tell you afterwards. And just letting someone like think about it. Ruminate with it. What did I say? Oh gosh, yeah. Really? Yeah. Yeah, my girlfriend came over and brought me a casserole. Oh boy. Don't say that.

I have not even thought about that since that episode. My mom gave me my old recorder. So I have one. You're one up on me right now. I am ready for it. Okay. Let me think of my answer.

This was actually a toss up for me. I don't know right now. Okay. Got it. Recorders and PE? I'm so sorry. Recorders and music? That could be fun.

Nope. I was going to go parachute. I did not like the parachute game. Did not understand what was so exciting about it. Oh, so many colors. You might be next to the girl you like. Oh, flap with me. Going up and down.

The parachute was just so cool. You get to be underneath something. It's flapping. Yeah, I guess so. Anything goes. You never know what happens under there. Mr. Green, they couldn't see you for a few minutes. Okay, next toss up. What is the better Chuck for a few minutes. Okay. Next toss up.

Or those hands that you like. Oh, sticky slap hands. You like slapped them on the walls and stuff. You could try to get a piece of paper from something. Yeah, I would use the kleenex box as my target yes if i can pull one kleenex out uh slap hands slap hands for sure yeah those those airplanes would go for a second for like three throws they were cool but then they would just absolutely break or something they hit one wall and they just you're disintegrated it's done whereas those slap hands hit walls and they collect a little bit of grime but they keep ticking the shelf life isn't great on those just because of the the like residue they collect but

they were fun they need to make like an adult version of that like kind of like a grabber but like a slapper but it takes a little skill so you feel cool when you do achieve it right that would be fun man like a like a slinky that comes back yeah yeah let's do it okay this slinky that comes back grabber the grabber mcgrab. That's what he called McRabber It's like MacGruber MacGruber It's like a McDonald's Nice okay. I love this list. How many more are there? There's plenty, but I don't have to do them all I just kind of got out of roll. Okay freeze pops or

Freeze pops those are those are like the ones like the little like colored they're really popular we call them icies actually growing up i guess yeah icies freeze pops or kool-aid jammers like the squeezable kool-aid things that had the tops on oh those are so cheap by the way you can get a case of those they're so cheap they're awesome six for a dollar and the freeze pops are also crazy cheap yeah i feel like you get like a hundred of them for like five bucks all you're buying is ice right you're not even buying the ice yeah you're you're buying the the syrup yeah that's crazy um this is tough this one's really tough i think i would go freeze pops on this one i would go popsicles as well okay um just fourth of july

yeah you got that blue one your mom just cut the top off yes you gotta get that make sure you have a scissors out there i don't want to bite it um yeah no um but then you always get second drink residue yes residual residual right popsicle it's awesome i always went with blue red if i had to never green or purple get those green slap them out of here oh purple's fine no purple's the worst artificial grape artificial grape is the only artificial color that i will never drink oh i didn't know that no don't don't don't even think about. There is a harsh disparity in what grapes taste like and what artificial grape tastes like. Why is it so different? Because artificial grape is crap. I'm sorry for saying it twice, mom. I'm sorry. Grape soda. You don't like grape soda? I mean,

I'll drink it. Of course it's sugar, but no, I don't really want to drink grape soda. Wow. No. Well, just know that I really like it. If you ever have anything that's grape flavored, I'll drink it, of course. It's sugar. But no, I don't really want to drink grape soda. Wow. No. Well, just know that I really like it. If you ever have anything that's grape flavored, I'll eat it, drink it, slurp it. We should share some Skittles sometime, my friend. Okay, cool. Okay, let's see.

Next one. Going some fashion here. Great. Snap-off pants, the breakaways, or the swishy swishies the one you walk i gotta say the chicks dug both of them they did absolutely they did um the snap off pants they were awesome when you snapped them off it felt so cool that's what i was gonna say i think it took me 17 minutes to get it back together yeah took forever to snap i was probably gonna go with the swishy swashies yeah just because i didn't have the strength also to like get all of them and i'd get like five out of

six right dang it now these are just dangling around my ankles yeah um yeah that's good i definitely had my fair share of swishy pants like up in a middle school totally up in the middle school i don't know if i... Maybe. I think I did. You always... But you could never play a game where you're trying to be secretive. Like hide and go seek, you do not want to be the kid in the swishy pants. Romans and Christians, better take your pants off. No chance. I would always take my pants off during that game.

People never caught me. Okay. Tamagotchi or Furby? Or do you have no opinion? Didn't own either of them. I had a Furby, loved it. I would choose Tamagotchi just based on what Furbies look like. Furbies, yeah, in hindsight were very creepy. I had a black Furby. Oh, dark. Do your mom know about that? Something like that. Yeah, she does.

She bought it for me, I think. Oh my gosh. Furbies, loved them. Okay, let's go a little bit newer school. PlayStation 2, Xbox. xbox wow i like to ask this just this week i read that the playstation 2 is the most popular console of all time so like 150 million units wow the ps4 just became second and it just surpassed like 100 million wow so it's got the second place beat by 50 33 is that your answer just because sorry i don't know um because i like xbox more oh really no i'm ps2 guy 100 xbox really halo is my favorite or one of my favorite games i do have a lot of good memories playing halo and that was only on xbox that's true um and everything else the ps2 had i think was pretty much available on xbox i forgot that halo was

exclusive yeah ps2 i will say was more reliable. Like, my Xbox would mess up on me. PS2's, my friend's PS2's never messed up on him. Yeah, I just grew up with the PS2. That's what I had. Cousin Steve-O had the Xbox. That's where I'd go play Halo. Right. But I had the PS2.

I feel like the joysticks were a little better. I liked how they felt. And also, I didn't like the, like, the big trigger on the Xbox. I liked the button feel of the PS2. Okay. R2, r2 l2 sure left trigger right trigger right which they eventually switched yeah xbox knew they were wrong about that um mountain dew code red or vanilla coke it's like picking between children oh my gosh they're both very good very good their bread their bread is very good we're on

sync there i would say vanilla coke because i'm still drinking it yes i just don't come across code red that much i like dark drinks more than i like fruity drinks and so but code red when it first came out was so fire where can you get it anymore i think you can get it like any oh sorry i'm thinking like like i think taco bell used to have it in their fountains oh no i, I've never heard of anybody having their fountains. Yeah, it's tough to see. Taco Bell is a big Mountain Dew endorser though. So if anybody would have them, it would be them.

It is interesting that they have their own flavor, like Baja Blast. It's only at Taco Bell. So that's kind of weird. Which is gross. I don't like Baja Blast. Yeah, it's not that good. Original's way better. Vanilla Coke is so good.

So good, dude. Okay. Out of a can? Are you kidding me? Let's go first phones. Or maybe not first phones, maybe second phones for some of you more fortunate people out dude. Okay. Out of a can? Are you kidding me? Let's go first phones or maybe not first phone, maybe second phones for some of you more fortunate people out there. Okay. Razors or Blackberries? Oh, this is my second and third phone. Really? In that order. Didn't know neither. Not trying to say I had a hard childhood. Spent all that money on a Black Furby and those pegs.

That's right. And Bop It Extreme is really what I was going for here. But I didn't like anything other than the original Bop It. Loved, loved the five. Twist it? Pull it? No, thanks. Oh, please flick it. I wish I don't.

Oh, boy. I. Is that it? Yeah. Flick it was one of them. Flick it, twist it, pull it, bop it. Spin it. I love it bop it spin it i love it so what were the three original ones pull it twist it no twist it was not original 100 the yellow one

so two out of three things i said are in the original pretty much i only like bop it yeah what if you just played a bop it like literally just bop it bop it i'll tell you what i was good at oh remember that i hated that sound you're out dude it was like the middle school version of jack in the box they're like when's it coming right i was so good at simon says oh that i never had that game like the i would destroy you in it really yeah let's play i don't even know how to play i don't think it would just be like red blue green then you hit red blue green okay and you go again red blue green yellow blue oh okay so you're just a memory game how quickly it was awesome i thought it was like simon says where it was like you only do

things when they say to do them it did throw me off a little bit i was like this isn't really simon that's probably why i never got into it because i'm like he never said anything I thought it was like Simon Says where it was like, you only do things when they say to do them. It did throw me off a little bit. I was like, this isn't really Simon Says. That's probably why I never got into it. Because I'm like, he never said anything. You download the game or you start playing the game and you're like, when's he talk, bro? Wait, I got us off topic. What were you actually talking about?

Razors versus Blackberries. Never liked the Razors. Felt like they were very slow. I mean, wasn't everything a little bit in 2006? I had a Sprint Katana, a.kana aka the yeah the sprint version of the razor and it was very very uh responsive i never like my first time that's so funny that they're just like razor sharp what else is sharp katana yeah samurai i uh i think i'd have to go blackberry that wheel was so cool i was very jealous of lauren barkley because she had the BlackBerry Curve.

Oh. Or no, BlackBerry Pearl. She had the BlackBerry Pearl. Which is the one that has the wheel. Yeah, and it was like the first one that had the wheel. BlackBerry were also the first people to come out with like their own exclusive messenger, BlackBerry Messenger, I think. BBM.

Yeah. And that was pretty smart of them. That was great. Yeah, I never got into either of them too much, but I know there was like the two iconic ones. Remember Sidekicks? I didn't have one of those either. Yeah, Step Up To The Streets really featured the Sidekick. Flip it up there.

Yeah, pretty cool. I'm going to backtrack on something I said many, many episodes ago. I said that I've never been a faster typer than T9 on like the Razor. Yeah. However, quick, what's that called? Adder. Yeah. However, quick, uh, uh, what's that called? Yeah. The BlackBerry Pearl had two letters per button as opposed to one,

what we have now and three, what T9 was. That's right. I remember. And I think that was the fastest I've ever been typing. Really? It was awesome. Okay.

Speeding. That was a whiz. I was like, compared to, we, we, we'll, to,

it was like that. I couldn't remember the noise you made. Sorry, the wrong sound. I was trying to talk with something in my mouth. That's funny. Let's do like two more. Okay, okay. iTunes versus Windows Media player. Oh,

iTunes. Of course. Yeah. Windows media player didn't have that cool thing though. Like when you played something, it would like do those like interpretive colors when you played it. That was kind of cool. Some visuals. Um, but how often am I watching the screen while listening to music? You'd be surprised, man. It's in the background. No. Yeah. It's definitely iTunes. It's like people watch podcasts. It's like, that's's awesome but i feel like you could consume this and do something else sure okay last one and this is one well maybe maybe it's not even that i just love the first one of these things gel pens or pencils with the grippers on them oh i really love gel pens i would go pencil with gripper really yeah yeah just because it seemed like

such a accessory like a rich person accessory like you don't need a gripper yeah it's just like a complete out it's like airpods whereas gel pins are just like you know everyone has those yeah it's born from lindsey young i don't know what color on brie what color are you thinking of when you think of gel pins what's the i'm gonna go specific or you want to go uh i'm gonna go somewhat specific i guess okay one two three light blue and oh is that the same thing yeah okay yeah i don't know why i was thinking light I'm going to go somewhat specific, I guess. Okay. One, two, three. Light blue. Oh! Is that the same thing?

Yeah, maybe. Okay. I don't know why. I always think of light blue gel pens. Yeah. Which you could never see on a white paper, but I always used. Remember highlighters? I used a lot of highlighters in high school.

Back in the day? Now I don't. Are you still making them? They probably are. Oh, they're fine. Huh. Sorry. I'm just thinking about the highlighters and the bugs. Where do they go?

So that has been Toss-Up. I'm probably not cool. That was Toss-Up. Let me just read the rest of these. Toss-Up. Toss-Up. The other ones I had, I didn't have a Toss-Up for this one. Book fairs. Just love book fairs.

Just something. Goosebumps versus the boxcar children rl stein yes uh reruns of full house versus fresh prince um in sync versus backstreet boys guitar hero versus rock band that was katherine's idea it wasn't that good but i put it on there um a field day versus a field trip um indoor versus outdoor recess uh fruit by the foot versus fruit rollout oh those are good so um well this week if you have nothing else comes to mind feel free to leave us a five-star review and maybe say one of the things we talked about that you're the most passionate about or if someone was just

completely wrong or if you have another category of toss-ups that you want to submit for yourself leave us a five-star review and let us know that would be cool you had to get some feedback on like what should our theme of toss-ups be like next week do movies or something i don't know right yeah comedy movie lines or yeah disney characters or something like that um that reminds me though five-star reviews but also um it'd be fun to do some voice memo work at some point um some kind of prompt for them but you prompted them last week with voice memo stuff. Yes. And I realized that they're on my phone, which is recording this. I have to stop the recording. So don't say anything too funny because there's not going to be a video.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. But we got some, no, I'm just kidding. We got some voice memos and we're going to listen to what you guys said and answer your questions. Yeah. Let's do it. Let's do it let's do it hi guys my name is madison i'm from outside tulsa oklahoma i've been listening for about a month and i'm all caught up i was wondering what you get to drink when you go to chick-fil-a thanks you guys are great madison wow love it thanks for listening madison yeah caught up in just a month that's so cool we're we're big Dr. Pepper guys yep although actually I I always get Dr. Pepper but I don't

mix it up from time to time always or not always but love mixing it up go cherry coke yeah you have them get kind of fancy with it that's actually a really good question Madison if I'm feeling froggy yeah there's a few different things here so Dr Dr. Pepper is yeah. Just the tried and true. I'm drinking it right now. Original and yeah. The best. But our Chick-fil-A also has cherry Coke, which by the way, not every Chick-fil-A has cherry Coke. There's like staples. I learned that every Chick-fil-A has, and then they have like a few optional things. So some have cherry Coke, some have Coke zero, some have whatever, uh, other things. Um, cherry Coke is mine. is mine other thing also love getting Arnold Palmer's at times

because that lemonade so good and you get some tea in there it's really good but tell them about when you get crazy the main thing if it's a slow day for feeling froggy if we're you know we know that the people giving us our refills because we go all the time Allah yeah if I was there or something, I'll do what I call 70-30. And what it is, is it gives you the taste of real with the calorie count more or less of diet. So I go 70% diet, 30% regular of either Dr. Pepper or potentially 70% Diet Coke, 30% Cherry Coke, whatever it may be. It's a trick that's been passed down from Ellis to Ellis. My, my sisters were the ones that started it. Um, and I think it's awesome. And it tastes really good. Even if you just go 70, 30 straight up Coke is also very good. So I've seen you so many times, like, can I refresh, refresh your beverage? And you're like, yes,

but right here, you show them on the cup right here. I want, I don't do it that often, but I, yeah, if I, if it's like, yeah, let's be be let's be fun here uh or something like that or sometimes i'll have like you know still i have like half my drink and it's diet dr pepper and they'll be like you want uh refill on this way yeah dr pepper please so um just a way to switch it up a little bit leave us a five-star review let us know if you try it um Um, but thanks for the, thanks for the question. Yeah. Thanks Madison. Next one is from TJ. Love TJ. Really? Yeah. Yo, this is TJ, the brilliant, beautiful, amazing human being that gave Jake the idea to accept voice memo questions. Recording his message from Lancaster, Pennsylvania and, uh, love the podcast. Just listened to the episode 25. That was the first one I listened to.

Great job. Really enjoyed it, guys. And I just, I find so much joy in the subtle office references that you guys just pour in throughout. Very well done. So I'd like, my question is, what are your favorite office cold opens

from any episode, any season? Which ones are your favorites? Which ones do you laugh at consistently and which ones do you love? Okay. Love you. Bye. First of all, love you too, TJ. Thank you for the voice memo. That was great. Good question. This is tough. There are a lot to choose from. Probably like a hundred to choose from. In our bracket, we chose at the most iconic moment in office history was the cold it was a cold open technically yeah it was a very long cold open um but the one where gosh that's starts the fake fire save bandit right that one's obviously great i think anyone that involves jim

pranking dwight has got to be up there with one of my favorites yeah just the uh whether it's when he uh let's see wrapped his desk or you think he wrapped his desk and there's nothing there when he puts his office in the uh women's bathroom that's called open right uh yeah wash your hands kevin yeah yeah yeah um one of my ones that i think is underrated but i think it was really funny was when Michael and Dwight were playing catch with the football back and forth. Oh, and they're like, create, gets ahold of it. Um, yeah, I don't know who gets ahold of it, but like, yeah, all of a sudden, like somebody

gets ahold of it and then another, somebody else tackles them. It's like this huge mess. And then it's like almost over, like kind of the, the, the settles or whatever. Then all of a sudden michael just goes pam and just chucks it and i just thought that was so funny back in the day pam and like the the camera just swings really fast over to him um that one's really great uh obviously the one wherever toby like we didn't realize toby was still was working there again and then he comes and michael just freaks out oh yeah it's It's, you know, uh, the internet loves that.

Right. Oh, the one, uh, the one where he's like driving in, like I had a great year and I feel very blessed. And then all of a sudden, boom, it's Meredith's car. It's a season premiere. I remember just like, like just eyebrows so high up, like, oh my gosh, what just happened on that one? So that's another great one.

Oh, oh, this was a cold open. This was my favorite. The one where Dwight tells Jim about his yoga ball. Oh, sure. He's just bouncing up and down. How much does this cost? You know, it's not that bad. 25 bucks, whatever.

He just comes up and just nails. I remember watching that and like showing my friends. We like had it on our video iPods and I was like, you got to see this. It's so funny. And I just died laughing at the way that Dwight just, he falls so fast. And it's just so funny to me. You're kind of a sucker for slapstick comedy. I am like, uh, yeah. Like I love that video of you and you fall on your face. It's so funny to me. Um, so yeah, that's the stuff that really makes me laugh out loud and stuff like that. I guess. This next one is from Esther, who Brad impersonated. Yes.

Wait, wait, wait. Before we hear this, this is my impersonation of Esther, okay? Let's see how close I am. Hey, guys. It's your best friend, Esther, calling from the greatest city in the world, Oklahoma City. And I was just wondering, when am I going to be on your show? Okay. We have both not listened to this. So let's see. Oh, you haven't either? Okay. Awesome.

Hey, Jake and Brad. This is, my name is Esther Kim. I'm a resident of Oklahoma. And my question to you is, when are Jake and the Triplets getting back together for a reunion tour?

From wherever you are, let us hear your voice. Yes. And if you are American, feel free to try to fool us.

our tried and true Chewy's Mexican Grill out on the plaza. Me gusta. Me gusta los Chewys. And just had a blast just having great conversation together without worrying about our baby. Where was your baby?

She was with my parents. So shout out to my parents for watching her. What's that in Spanish? Mis padres. Oh. Dads? Yeah. Spanish loves the genders. Yeah. Kind of like hermanos is like can be siblings yeah or brothers right it's brothers or if you have a brother and a sister

you would say my hermanos it's kind of like how we like in the midwest anyway we're like hey are you guys coming sure you guys can be whoever yeah you guys yeah i went on a mission trip in seventh grade and they made fun of me because I said, you guys. Yeah. In Mississippi, they don't say that. They say y'all or they say y'all. Hattie is starting to say y'all. And it's very cute, but also very funny.

Like, like also like doesn't always use it the right way, which she's a two year old, but so that's fine. She's like, oh, you y'all, y'all have that, you know, like something like that. And I'm like, where are you picking this up have I told you about the well thing like when she says like whenever she came

back from Texas how'd you sleep well I love that too she still says that that's pretty cool but anyway had a great time

with my babe of the week Catherine Ellis which by the way might be doing a little kickstarter campaign for a babe of the week calendar

uh oh great idea one of your friends sent us this week hey we should have Might be doing a little Kickstarter campaign for a Babe of the Week calendar. Uh-oh. Great idea. One of your friends sent us this week. Hey, we should have a Babe of the Week calendar where it's just Catherine every single month. And just cross out the word week and put month. And every month it just turned into just very mom things. It's like, yeah, November she's like smelling some chai tea. Or, you know, maybe she's just looking up from gardening.

Yeah, basting a turkey, whatever. Hanging an ornament on the tree. You know, maybe she's looking up from gardening. Yeah. Basting a turkey, whatever, hanging an ornament on the tree, you know, something like that in December or something. Just like the most mundane, hilarious thing. She's so uncomfortable with that idea, but I think it's hilarious. Leave us a five-star review and know which, which month would be your favorite month to buy a calendar of Catherine. Exactly. Maybe the month calendar. I think that's so funny. Okay.

Next, uh, I'm going to do DM of the week. I've been getting a lot of them from you guys. I appreciate them. Especially, uh, Instagram story tags. Those were awesome. Yeah. I don't even tag me in some of them, which I appreciate doing that. I don't always see every DM, but I definitely see all the story tags.

So that's so cool. And I assume that's how the podcast is growing so much as you guys telling your friends. So appreciate it. But DM of the week has nothing to do with the podcast or maybe it does. If this person listens to the podcast, I'm sorry, but I'm going to leave you anonymous and put you on blast a little bit here. Someone DM me and they were just like, Hey, uh, sorry. It's super weird. Like you look so much like this guy. I know. And he has the same last name. Do you know Ryan Triplett? He died in a rock climbing accident last year. Oh, gosh.

If you do. Yeah, what if I did? Yeah, I'm still mourning. That's my brother. Right. What a weird way to bring that up, if it is true. I mean, it wasn't, but it was such a weird thing. I've never been asked that.

Also, if you do know Ryan Triplett, don't acknowledge the fact that he's dead, because I think you would know. You don't have to tell me that that's the same Ryan Triplett who's in my family who died of a rock climbing accident. I was like, what an approach. I couldn't believe it. I mean, it was funny. It wasn't like upsetting or anything, but yeah, I thought you'd get a kick out of that. That's awesome. Do you know Ryan Triplett? He died. You know, you remember him. He died tragically. Yeah. Pretty unexpectedly. Is this not jogging anything ryan triplet r.i.p to him yeah it is too bad for the actual ryan triplet no but you did not know him and not related to him

but yeah such a strange dm so see if you guys can top it this week i had a funny we'll talk it's a text um which are we calling dms and text the same these days why don't we just go let's rebrand it'll come with a new song because we forgot one anyway oh sure message of the week message the message of the week i don't know that was bad that's okay your trigger time was quick like i hadn't even said this yes cool what was yours um so my friend uh and loyal podcast listener adam Adam, Adam Kosh is his name. A great guy, uh, avid listener of the podcast said, Hey man, heard that you were struggling, um, to find a good weather app.

You can order it on the app. It's great. It's amazing. Golly. It was just so many things like that back and forth. Like, come on, man. Of course. I was like, I have to put you on blast for this. Of course. Of course, I've tried the weather channel. You don't think I've tried the largest distributor of weather?

Oh my gosh. The weather channel. No one else has a channel for weather. It's just you. Yeah. I'm going to try your app. Goodness gracious. Hey, great place to, great place to buy some stuff.

You can find almost anything on there. You're going to thank me later. You're going can just two-day shipping it. It's incredible. Try it out.

It's just amazing. You can find almost anything on there. You're going to thank me later. You're going to wonder how you lived without it. Oh, no, no. Hey, you're a sports fan? You like watching pigskin, baseball, basketball? There's this great, great one.

E, you got a pencil? E, S, P p p as in boy no p as in patrick oh okay n okay spn and you pronounce that espen espen yeah exactly i'll check it out dude thank you i i mean just cannot recommend it enough for if you need sports scores. I'm just cracking up. Because I'm sure as you're reading it, you're thinking like, oh, sweet. You do email? You do email? Yeah, yeah, I do.

So there's Google. Google has their own kind of email called. Oh, Google Mail? Gmail. Yes. Oh, my gosh. It's incredible. They shorten it to Gmail.

Try it. Oh, man. It was just, I was like, bro, I got to give you a hard time for this like the weather channel like it's literally the most mundane like original non-original thing you could think of hey weather channel thanks guy when he first said that if anything i thought he was gonna say like dark sky like that's literally the one i already tried our use man yeah oh it was so funny it was just a group text or was this just to you it No, it was just to me. Oh, it's probably a good thing. They didn't go out to everybody.

It's a little bit harder to be mean to people when it's just one-on-one. You know what I mean? Like, I'm like, I'm going to roast you for this man, but I feel a little bad. He's like, and you were just being so genuine and like caring about thinking of, you know, asking me or telling me about it. But, oh, I just got into it. Just so funny, man. That is great. That's my, that's my message of the week.

That one's a little monotone, but it's meant to be that way. I couldn't remember why I did it that way. No, it's okay. Okay, our last Blank the Week has to be, without a question, review of the week. Oh, yeah. Golly. Our reviews have never been higher. It's amazing.

We got 25 since last week. That's crazy. Some of the biggest podcasts in the world don't get 25 in a week. So thank you guys. That was our episode 25. So this week, let's try to get 26. If you see this already, 26 reviews, save it. Put it in your notes, copy it, whatever you got to do.

Evernote's a good app. My sister started to get into our podcast and she's like, I'm saving my review for something really witty that I have to say. My friend Maddie said that too. She's like, I love reading the reviews on your podcast because everyone's so witty. She's like, I want to leave one to help you out, but I don't have anything good yet. Oh man. I mean, no matter what, even like people are just genuinely kind to us and that is so heartwarming

too. So don't feel like you have to be witty. It is really fun to read all of them. There've been like three patterns, especially this week of the reviews. One is, yeah, wit. I feel like we have just, we're cultivating a really like witty audience, which is so fun.

Yeah, they're funnier than we are. Absolutely. Second pattern has been, not just in reviews, but also texts I've gotten of people injuring themselves while listening to our podcast. Have you gotten those? Josh Willis texted-

Do not work out and listen to this. Yeah, something like that. Maybe he's put a review. Maybe he texted me, me but he was like i was bench pressing and dropped a bar on myself during the uh i think he said let's get our shirts wet apart uh last episode and someone else i think left us a review that they like fell off the treadmill really dangerous in the gym i guess or that girl barfing oh yeah she messaged me and yeah she was like i really did barfing. Oh yeah. She messaged me and yeah, she was like, I really did barf and I really have done that before. She took a picture of it. No, I'm just kidding. And then the third pattern has been, what was I going to say? Oh, people have been very consistent thing. People were like,

I feel like we're actual friends and we're just hanging out, which is cool. What a cool compliment. Cause it is just us sitting around talking. And so I would love, yeah, it'd be so fun if we could like have people somehow it's there's no technology for this but like have people interject every once in a while like and record it and send it back to us or something because i think it'd just be so fun to be like like somebody else has a fun thing to say something better than we have to say here like katherine says sometimes she'll listen back to him be like oh i was so upset that you didn't say this part right there like i could that was a great office reference that you missed right there or something like that so um basically just come hang out with us because this is how we are in real life.

So we'd be happy to hang out with you whenever. Really though. But I don't even know how to choose a review of the week. We've already talked about them plenty, but. I don't know either. There's so many good ones. Everyone loves like all the reviews, they plug your business for you. I love listening to Jake and Brad of Brad.

Yes. Comment Ellis custom creations. It's amazing. They just must love, uh, you know, custom made tables, uh, for homes all around Kansas city and beyond. What's the produce you've shipped a table. I've, I've taken some stuff to Texas and Oklahoma city. Um, but not like actually shipped them. I've either had them picked up. Esther delivered one for me actually one time. Oh wow. Yeah. She was in town and delivered one, uh, to Oklahoma city for me. And so, um, yeah, anyway, I'm trying to work on the shipping stuff though, so we can definitely work some stuff out, but, um, I don't know. Let's just give shout outs to at least all the people. I mean,

Morgie loves owls. Thank you. That was so kind. She says her husband's getting in on it with her, um, which is really cool. October sky. Somebody said October sky is the best movie. Blake Darko. Thank you. Blake Darko.

The Donnie's, uh, brother, um, for that. Yeah. I love it. People just,

man, is that loud? Crying. Yeah. The loud one was great. Um, beer me this podcast.p application lover um don't get that maybe we should but that's a funny i appreciate all the kind words there so just know we read every single one seriously even if we can't read them on the air here multiple people have been saying chipotle is better than qdoba as well yeah which i appreciate the cheese though guys think about the cheese it's better at qdoba oh man a lot of people giving you uh props

for even like back in your youtube days here oh really oh yeah i did remember saying that they said they've been watching me since since i was too open yeah uh some people have said they've been binged listening which is kind of fun to think about like that is wild to think about back to back to back and everything. We have thought about someday potentially going a little bit wilder with our amount that we're putting out there, but right now we can't, we don't have time. Yeah. I mean, we're doing this, it's midnight on a Sunday night. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So it's time to, time to go. But someday I think, yeah, it'd be fun to throw in like a midweek episode. Just kind of random. Right. right okay i'll just read one that's one of my favorites from this week from uh it's bitty bomba uh elizabeth bittaker formerly bittaker i filmed her wedding for real that's who it is yeah yeah that's her and then haven't talked to her since so i think i was just more shocked i was like oh this girl whose wedding i filmed is listening to my podcast now that's cool

and left a review and she said this is, crying at the gym is the title. This is the perfect podcast. If you're just looking to laugh and cry, I'm at the gym. And although it's making it even harder to breathe than it already is with exercising, it's worth the struggle. So I thought that was really cool. And she left a review on Halloween. So Vinny, thanks for listening. That's so fun. This one's also great. Uh, cause we don't always get described as this, but this person said we are very educational. I'm the only one in my family who knows absolutely nothing about football. At a recent family event, I flexed with my new found knowledge of Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. They were flabbergasted. Thanks for making me look smart. From Jamie underscore mag. Thank you, Jamie. Thatie that's fun well yeah guys thank you so much

for the reviews they're awesome we absolutely love them and we're still uh still growing which is so fun that you know you guys are kind of part of this brad and i i would say are a part of it would you agree we are yeah so it's fun let's uh let's move on we'll wrap up quickly here but brad i have a good idea bad idea idea for you to weigh in on. Throwing myself a bachelor party just because I'm a bachelor, not because I'm about to not be. Just like having a bachelor party. It's called a bachelor party. Yeah.

It's not because of anything else. I'm a bachelor. I want to go to funky town with my friends. The one requirement is that you have to be a bachelor. Yeah. Good idea. Jake's bachelor party. I think anytime that there's an excuse to get people together, you should do it because, because so often people try to find excuses to

hang out and really you're just like, no, I want to do something fun. Let's go do something fun. So I would give them a reason to hang out. Yeah. All right. I might do that then. Jake's bachelor party. Awesome. I will not dress up for that bachelor party. That's fine. No need to not Halloween party. Okay. Funky town though is a dress up place, isn't it? Oh, that's party. That's fine. No need to. Not a Halloween party. Okay. Funky Town, though, is a dress-up place, isn't it? Oh, that's right. That's right. Yeah, so... I don't know what we're going to do.

I don't know. Maybe I'll be dressed up as a futuristic guy. A trendy guy. Brad, how do you feel about doing a little slam poetry? Maybe? Slam!

Slam! Let the boys be boys! Slam. Let the boys be boys. Slam. You'll make some noise. Poetry. Sure. Was that it? Okay, cool.

Yeah, that's me saying. Sure, man. Sure, Sherman. It went okay the one time we did it. Same style, I guess. We'll just give each other a topic and we'll just go. Sure. Brad, your topic is tables.

Go crazy. Oh, okay. Okay. I've done that. Introduce yourself first, please. Good evening. My name is Brad Ellis and this is called tables. Why are tables flat?

Are they always made out of wood? Do you see them in dining rooms or do you see them everywhere you look? Is a chair a table that you sit on? Is a house a table that's a little slanted. Are we all driving tables and we call them cars with wheels? We think about hardwood, hickory, oak, live edge, black walnut.

We're all the same. We're all just making a table of life. So gather around, prepare a feast, bring your best and invite your grandma because it's time to gather, to share, to give thanks around the table. Let's pray. I like gather around and invite your grandma. That's fun. Yeah, man. Let's pray. That's a good Thanksgiving theme there. I'm getting in Thanksgiving mood.

I am so tired of people skirting past Thanksgiving. It's, oh yeah. Ah, golly. I'd rather skirt past Halloween and just have Thanksgiving season. Look, I'm not saying I haven't skirted before. I've skirted. I skirted my pants in eighth grade. It was so embarrassing.

But to skirt past Thanksgiving. Oh dude, did you skirt the bed? It's just, yeah. It's not fair to the pilgrims or the quakes no or anybody else who held the troops let's be honest on both sides okay uh your subject for this slam poetry thanks for thanks for giving me that great subject of tables yeah no problem dude i appreciate it um this one i want you to do a slam poem on hospitals oh spooky potentially what i don't know okay not really you don't have to go

that route okay whatever route you want it's your route i don't know what route I'm going to go. I'm going to start talking. Hello. Thank you all for coming. My name, when doing poetry, is the White Dragon. Oh, yes. Sorry. This is hospital, hospital, hospital. Let's begin. Hospital, hospital, hospital.

I'll say it again. Hospital. Four times one hospital. I'll say it again, hospital. Four times one hospital, eight floors. So many nurses, so many problems. You need something in a syringe? I got them. What? I don't even say anything funny yet.

Okay. We got nurses and doctors. Anesthesiologist. Well, how about you come to my table and I make you my biologist? That's right, girl. Did I say something bad? I'm nervous I said something bad again. No, you didn't.

You did it. You just like barely stumbled over a word and it just made me laugh really hard i don't know what i'm saying it's like i'm you're doing great i'm reading a teleprompter that's not there i literally don't know what i'm about to say okay what was i oh yeah i was going the romantic route okay i need some blood work back in the day i might have said let me see that blood twerk but now you put that needle in my arm it feels like you put that needle in my heart aorta artery ventricle hospital, hospital, hospital. You stole my heart spittle.

I don't know. My heart spittle. I don't know. I had trouble thinking of anything clever there. That was wonderful. I really enjoyed it. Where did I mess up? No, like barely.

Like, I don't even know if you didn't mess it up. You like kind of like stumbled. And I was laughing so hard because I was thinking about how I was stumbling over my words the whole time too. Like, like thinking about like, I have no idea what I was about to say. And then you stumbled and it made me happy because it was like, oh good, Jake's stumbling too. That's kind of, for some reason, that's kind of scary. I don't know there's like pressure but it's fun that was good practice though part of the show next week so i

open do some stand-up for trey but then part of his show i come back on stage and we're going to bring a woman up and just sing a song to her improvised really which you know don't feel confident in my singing already right feel somewhat confident and thinking of things on the spot but having to rhyme having to be funny yeah it's tougher it'll be the most nerve-wracking part of the night but i think i'm gonna kill it it'll be great oh yeah you'll be great man it's awesome okay okay well i hope you guys enjoyed episode 26 once again thanks for listening so much fun for brad and i hope it was fun for you guys reminder to look in the description for the link to send us a voice memo. If you want,

leave us a review. If you want, we love them. We appreciate them. And if you're going to be there, see you on tour. Maybe next time you hear my voice, I will have done four sets of standup comedy in front of paying people.

That's wild. Yeah. It's so scary when I say it out loud, but so I'm sure I'll have some good stories from that. Oh, I can't wait. I'm going to bomb at least once. I'm just going to sit there and let you talk the whole time next episode. Yeah, hopefully I'll have some good stories.

And also, a little sneaky peeky, this might be, probably not, but this might be the last episode where we don't have a sponsor. What's up? We're selling out, baby. We're selling out. Just take the soul right out of us. We don't care. No, I know that's probably a little annoying for you guys to be like, dang, well, it was so great because I didn't have any ads. We're going to make the ads as fun as we can. We're going to make them very fun. And they're going to be so successful. And just know every time you hear us read an ad, it means that two best friends are

getting paid to talk to each other. So just, I think that's cool that you could do that in 2019. So I've been talking to people, not even like a company or anything or not like a podcast network, just like personal friends have reached out. So if you're a personal friend or feel like you're a friend. Yeah. We can advertise for you or your business. We'd love to. Yeah. We have no proven track record of how successful it would be,

but we are pretty sure that you'd make some money off of it. And at the rate the podcast is growing, you're probably going to get a pretty good deal. Cause I'm going to tell you, right. And by the time we get around to it, yes, we're going to be huge.

Huge. We're going to be huge. Um, Jake, you want me to hit him with a jingle? I would love for you to hit him with a jingle, Brad. Let's hear it

okay we've got a pod every Monday morning Jake and Brad talk and we always talk for hours and then we post it on the Ghost Runners.

Whoa, sweet Ghost Runner pod. Ghost Runner pod. Nice. That was a good one. I'm sorry I started way too high. That's okay. That's okay. one. I'm sorry. I started way too high. That's okay. That's okay. I think you did good. Thanks, man. Do you think you did good?

I think I did well. Great. Love you guys. See you next Monday. Love you guys. Good luck, Jake. Love you, Kath. Time for Kelly Clarkson. Oh you, oh you When love, when love is true When the sun of dependence walked away No time for love that came her way She looked in the mirror and thought today

What happened to miss no longer a thing? It took some time for her to see How beautiful love could truly be No, it's not good, why can't that be me? I'm so glad I'm finally here What is this feeling taking over? Thinking the world could open up I know it's hell

So proud It's time To be To be what you really are We're back from school This isn't a fit No one needs to the pain of this time Goodbye

Goodbye We're back from school
