Brad, I'm sick of it. Man, me too, brother. What are we sick of? This fall weather. This fall weather. The war. Yep. Any of them.

Yep. You know what I'm sick of? I think I've maybe talked about it on the podcast before, but I go to Chick-fil-A drive-thru. I'm on my way back from Iowa, and I'm trying to make good time. So I'm going through the drive-thru, and I say, hey, I'll take four chicken tenders,

large order of fries, and a drink. And they say, hey, I'll take four chicken tenders, large order of fries, and a drink. And they say, sauce with that? I say, yes, honey roasted barbecue. The smallest of your sauces. Yes. And then they toss them in the bag. I say, thanks, see ya! And I'm driving down the road, and I look at my bag, two of them! Two of them?!

Four tenders? Large fry? Large fry? Are these people getting paid reverse commission on how much they give out? Large fry gets you at least three right there alone. And then the tinders, another three. Unbelievable. One and one third per tinder. No.

Five eights per tinder. They gave me two sixths of what they should have. That's ridiculous. I just, I can't believe. It's so consistent. Chick-fil-A does everything right. But they train these people to be as stingy as possible with the sauce. Not all sauces. That's ridiculous. I just, I can't believe, it's so consistent. Chick-fil-A does everything right, but they train these people to be as stingy as possible with the sauce.

Not all sauces. Honey roasted barbecue, I think they're a little stingier. Short end of the barbecue stick. Because they think that two honey roasted barbecue is equivalent to the two Chick-fil-A sauces. Open your eyes. Boy, are you wrong. It drives me crazy. I'm so hungry.

I can't wait. I don't know how I'm going to get this sauce while I'm eating and driving. Well, I'll figure it out. Yeah. Oh, guess I won't. Oh, guess I will for a half a second. And the pouches that they come in, you're only getting like 80% of the stuff out of those kind of packets. You're never going to come close to, what, a 90% yield out of that pouch?

Oh, a Chick-fil-A sauce, you can scrape those sides, brother. You are just fine with that. But those honey roasted barbecue sauce packets, no way, dude. You could try, but yeah. You can like string your teeth through it and like get some on your teeth and get it in there and then just like, you know, get some on your tongue and then put the french fry in there. Not the same.

Need to try one of those hydraulic presses or something. Maybe that could get it all out. Yeah. But still, I'm not upset at like the homeschooled high schooler that works there. No. I'm upset at whoever the boss is who says, hey, put two honey roasted barbecues in every bag. Because I know you've eaten Chick-fil-A before. It's your fault.

Ezekiel, I know you've had Chick-fil-A. I know you have, Jeremiah. I know you use more than two. Noah, put some more in the bag. Okay? Hey. Hey. Timothy.

Listen. I was trying to think of a girl's name. All I could think of was Bathsheba. Sarah. Sarah, put more in the bag, Sarah. Yeah. Okay? Because they know that it takes more.

Esther. Come on, Esther. Come on, Hesden. Hesden. Nice, Tymon. Mic drop on Tymon. Tymon mic drop. because they know that it takes more Esther come on Esther come on Hezden Hezden nice timing mic drop on timing timing mic drop yeah uh oh

ooh I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun

and go ahead get on your feet cause this is the Ghost Rubs Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Rubs Podcast. Ghost Rubs Podcast. Speaking of biblical names, I've started doing a joke in my set about this when I got to SBU, trying to learn names, whatever.

Okay. And after one of the shows, ran into a ghostie, and we basically did my joke in my set about this of when I got to SBU trying to learn names, whatever. And after one of the shows ran into a ghostie and we basically did my joke in real life, not on purpose. Cause she was like, uh, my name is Judy. I was like, Judy. And she's like, Judith. I was like, Oh, Judith. And it's like a 24 year old girl. It's not expecting her name to be Judith. I was like, Oh, awesome. I was like, she's like, yeah, like the old Testament names. Like, yeah, that's wow. That's whole joke we just did it i thought you i thought you were about to say uh like she had a lisp and you didn't realize it oh yeah yeah jesus jesus with the tray by judith judith um yeah i guess i don't i guess judith isn't quite an old testament name but as far as like an like an old timey version of a name you have heard of anyway uh fun story

about judith uh she was like you guys were just talking on a recent episode of like how people found it did anyone ever find this podcast just scrolling she's like i am one of the scrolling people oh cool she said about in 2019 episode six she said i just got a concussion it's like oh maybe that's why yeah there you go i'm not allowed to look at i don't even know yeah but i was like that's crazy that was like the old logo that i mean that's why. Yeah, there you go. I'm not allowed to look at spreads. I don't even know. Yeah. But I was like, that's crazy. That was like the old logo. I mean, that's just... She's like, I just saw something that said something about a clean podcast. And so I clicked on it.

And episode six, I've been listening ever since. Wow. Met her outside of Phoenix, I think. You don't say, Judith. That's pretty sweet. That is super sweet, Judith. You're really something else. That is just spectacular.

The bee's knee. Bee's knee. The cat's pajamas. Judith was portrayed by Judith. Because then you're saying Judith, right? But the more you say it, the more you think it's Judith. That's good, Judith. So yeah, fun fact about Judith.

That is a fun stat. Fun little anecdote. Just scrolling. Episode six. Just scrolling through the podcast app on her smartphone. Episode sixth. Episode fifth. That's awesome.

I got a new computer. Yeah, it looks nice. Show everybody. Okay. Do a spin. Whoa, the charger actually looks really nice. Yeah, it's one of the... The MagSafe.

MagSafe. Thank you, Timon. I was going to get there because I'm cool and gen Z like that. But that's how my first MacBook I ever had was like that. And then back to USB-C. I kind of miss USB-C, which this one also... Just listen, Tim. Okay, I'll give you a chance i was

sitting in a coffee shop yesterday i was at main street roasters north and uh i was sitting at a coffee shop and i it was a it was a packed house would you spill some felt like it you're good um it was a packed house and so i got one i got a chair seat like a leather chair seat rather than like a table you know what i I mean? Where were you at? I'm imagining Main Street Roasters outer space. Main Street Roasters north. Main Street Roasters with a dark canine. Oh, yeah.

Do you know what Main Street Roasters outer space would be? Outer space? Oh, sure. Nice. I haven't been there in a minute. I know. They have good leather chairs, though. But I feel like you take up... Oh, the tall ones?

No. What? Summer moon? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like they have some big leather chairs. But not tall. Just short even. The tall ones are also leather. Oh, okay. I thought. Yeah. Anyway. Sorry.

No, I was at Black Dog, which is not as good as Main Street Roasters, but it's always packed in there. And so I had to, I didn't get a table, which is better for productivity. I was sitting on a chair, which is comfortable, but I had the mag safe and it was on my lap and it kept like hitting my leg up and down. And so it was coming barely off and on. and so it was just freaking my computer out. That is a bummer and it stinks because you know that magnet's not going to get stronger over time. It's only going to

be like my watch charger. It's losing its magnetism. Just magnetic pull. I don't even have any essence. I'm just trying so hard to have it come out. Yeah, is it north or I guess that's already TH. North or south?

South. But the USB-C still works in it. Does it? Yeah, there's two. So I don't know. I feel like I have to make the case. Go ahead, Tom. I feel like I would much prefer it to come out if you bump it

rather than like break the USB-C. Yeah. It's a good word. When is the USB-C ever broken? I just slam my laptop. I don't know. You tell me. For the sake of the content.

Throw it against the wall. Like, hey, you're going to reimburse me for that broken laptop. Dude, how fun would that have been for us to plan this out? And like, this isn't my laptop. And like, this is fake. Tywin's like, those things can break easier than you think. Oh yeah, show me. I just rail it against the wall.

You're like, oh, my gosh, dude. It'll be one take. Fun prank someday. Got him. You've seen a USB-C break, Tymon? I just feel like it's much more likely to. I would agree. That's one of the nice things about the MagSafe.

It's like it's not going to snap something if it gets placed down weird or something like that. Anyway, the computer's awesome. I mean, so fast, but I'm still getting used to like, you know, there's so many things that I think I set differently than the presets that I'm like realizing as I'm going like, oh, I need to change the way I, I'm an old school scroller. So if I'm scrolling from top to bottom, I'm literally taking my fingers top to bottom.

Oh, ew. I know. Don't say ew. Rachel and Trey both do it that, ew. I know. Don't say ew, first of all. And Trey, both do it that way, too. You know what? I have poultry with the ew thing, okay? Stop saying ew about things that are just different than what you like.

Trey says ew if someone does something cool in sports. How do you feel about that? No. Ew is a good thing? Ew. Yeah. It's more of a ew. No, it's like an actual ew. That was disgusting. thing? Ooh. Yeah. It's more of a, ooh. No, it's like an actual like, ew, like that was disgusting.

What? Give me a, you're saying like Patrick Mahomes makes an incredible like one-footed throw. Ew. Yeah, I've seen him do that. What? No, I don't like that either. Nasty. I do it, like I think like, ew, like I do it, I don't know if this is like a trendy like Gen Z thing,

but like if something's gross, like food or something, I'll go, ew. Is that like just me? Is that like a trendsetting thing? I would, my generation, we would more say like that's choogy. But if you want to say ew to that, then that's fine too. Oh, that's where ew comes from is choogy. Anyway, stop doing ew on my podcast.

All right, Tymon? I'm with Tymon, but we're also in the same stage, so maybe that's why. That's right. You guys are both Gen Z. One and the same. Yeah. But it's funny, like, all the things that I realize, like, oh, I guess I do that, and it's not the preset.

Like, I'm a three-finger swipe to go back on my browser. Yeah. That wasn't the default. No. Two. on my browser. Yeah, that wasn't the default. No, too. Also, the new like messages like before I used to be able to go three fingers down and up and it would like go down the messages. I can't figure out how to get that back. Shoot. Do you know how? No. Figure it out. So anyway, are you guys like you guys have any weird? I don't know. Computer things. Peter quir quirks what i learned that my mouse i wanted

my mouse to be way faster than the default i do like figuring out like calibrating my mouse speed my click speed yep sensitivity um there's there's some like third click thing going on or like double like deeper click i don't like you don't talk about oh deep click yeah it's like a deep fake but for clicks it's like ai powered click no we're gonna call this segment uh qwerty quirks qwerty quirks so like let's say i like highlight something so i'm like going and trying to drag and drop all this stuff like if i'm dragging and okay oh yikes this is weird brad can't highlight if i'm like dragging and dropping and then sometimes i like push down too hard it like clicks again and then what and then that's the issue is I need to figure out how to turn it off because sometimes it'll then like try

to define the word that I'm highlighting and then it'll just like unhighlight everything. Tymon, you know what I'm talking about? I know about like the deeper click thing. I don't know if it's ever given me issues though. I don't know. Do you know about quadruple? I'm not making this up. Quadruple clicking the back of your phone? Yeah, what does it do though?

You can set it to wherever you want. Okay. Mine is on camera. Oh, fun. Mine is... Do you think it's like... I think my double tap might be flashlight. You double tap the back of the phone? I would be doing that all the time on accident.

Well, it sometimes does happen, but I have a case, so I have to basically just hit my phone really hard. Oh, so maybe if it's a case, I need to hit. Maybe it's true. Mine's a quadruple hammer. What a great prank, and it's like actually we just break our phones. No, you just have to hit it really hard when you have a case.

Like, oh, okay. No, that's not doing anything for me. Isaac got the new iPhone 15, which has the action button instead of the unmute button. Don't know about it. Oh, really? It's just a button that you can click in and you could program, program that to be whatever you want. And so he had the idea to program it to be a screenshot.

And so you touch that screenshot, but there's like a bug because then that screenshot goes nowhere. It like goes, Oh shoot. You know, it takes it and it's in the bottom left for a little bit and then disappears and it's just not in his photos anymore. Oh wow. So has iPhone lost its fastball? I would say so. Is that, is that a reference back to a all time quarterback? What's all time quarterback. I don't even know what that means.

I heard about team spirit. Yeah. Team spirit's dead. I think I might make team spirit merch just, just cause I think that's hilarious. Like team spirit truth. There's like cult classic kind of thing. Like man, I was, I was a huge fan of team spirit before.

Yeah, we should bring that back. It's not the same ever since they changed the name. Yeah, we changed our football podcast name to All-Time Quarterback. Yes, which Elizabeth Virgil just left a comment about that. She said something. Took me a minute to get it, but after you explained it, love the new name. Yes. Really fun to think about.

Ghost Runners is being fun childhood memories about baseball. All-time quarterback is a lot of times, oh, there's seven players. What are we going to do? Tevens are uneven. Well, Brad has a cannon for an arm, but he can't run worth crap. Let's put him as all-time quarterback. Tommy, did you know that?

Are you familiar with the term all-time quarterback? No. Now you are. Now I am. Now you are. Now you are know that you're familiar with sir i'm all-time quarterback no now you are now i am now you are now you are now you are judith well now you are i would say um now yeah brad thoughts on including right now like 10 seconds of the football podcast for people give a little teaser sure cool 10 seconds as much as you want. Yeah. Okay. Okay, next one was Jaguars 25, Bills 20. Oh, yeah. Wembley.

Was it Wembley Stadium? I think it was Tottenham. Tottenham, yeah. Which is that the same? All right. Sure it is. Yeah, cheerio. Tottenham, Wembley.

Let's go Tottenhams. Like you could tell me Tottenham's a city or that's just a team or that's the nickname. It's the Wembley Tottenhams. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, that's what they call bowls in Britain. Yeah. Let's go Tottenham's a city or that's just a team or that's the nickname. It's the Wembley Tottenhams. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, that's what they call bulls in Britain. Let's go Tottenhams. You know, give them the horns, Tottenhams. Tottenham ham. All right. Give them the horns, Tottenham. You mess with the Tottenhams, you get the horns. That's what they say over there. That's what they say, yeah. Cross the pond. Right, with the teen crumpets. set hut. Oh good or that's my

that's my favorite thing is that I'm just going to do a different like theme song until I run out football themes song to start. Yeah. Yeah. People are enjoying it. So if you're not a patron and you enjoy hearing us talk or like football, then I think you would like this last night we recorded for an hour and 48 minutes. Yep. Hour 45 something like that

and we're also we talk about every team. Yeah minutes. Yep. Hour 45, something like that. And we're also, uh, we talk about every team. Yeah, we do. Just so you know, we're also putting out, um,

patron content. That's the bonus videos and stuff of voice memos. Yeah. Stuff like that. So yeah, that's been like 30 minutes each week too. So there's a bonus regular episode, bonus football episode.

Yep. Trying to be consistent with that kind of stuff and give you a little more in the patrons. Yeah. Anyway, you got anything better in the new computer? Doubt it. Yeah, no, I don't. I got a bunch of new pickleball paddles. Gave one to Tymon.

Yeah. How'd she play? You been able to play with it yet? Haven't yet. Awesome, dude. That's awesome. That's awesome, dude. That's awesome.

I've been like, even just using it, like hitting a ball, like in the house, just like, it just feels so much. Oh, wow. Hit the ball around the house. Don't you remember your first, like, like remember it was Leanne Cleaver. It was Logan Cleaver's mom. Like Logan Cleaver bought a, brought a bunch of pickleball paddles to the park and we played with those and they felt like they were $3,000 paddles. We looked them up later. They're $45. But it was like, man, these are just different than the Franklins we've been used to from Walmart. That's fun. I kind of don't remember her showing up and bringing paddles, but I can imagine. Well, it wasn't her.

It was just Logan bringing them. Oh, oh, oh. I was like, hey, my mom is into pickleball, so she's got like four paddles, so we can use hers. Do you remember the day that Gearbox sent me all those? That was an awesome day. That was great. Yeah. We all went straight to the park and just played. That was a great day. That was great. We all went straight to the park and just played.

That was a great day. That was just a great time in life. The pickleball phase. The pickleball phase. COVID. You know, it was like, Catherine was so cool back, I mean, she still is, but like that time of life, she was like, just always like, that's great, go play.

Go play with your buddies. See ya. And Reggie's probably like, because I know eventually these kids are going to inundate our lives a lot more than they are right now. Good for Catherine. It was just Hattie, and we went for it. And then Bo was born, and all heck broke loose. Yeah.

How's Bo doing? Any puke this week? No puke. He's good, man. We actually, I'm going hunting again in November pheasant hunting and they always send like a, like before like pre-hunt gift in the mail, which is always really fun. Like, and this one was like all based around like, uh, it was like, it was an analogy, if you will, of like, Hey, you remember like the joy you had as a child,

like playing with your favorite toy or like, so it was like all these nostalgic gifts. It was like, Hey, you remember like the joy you had as a child, like playing with your favorite toy or like, so it was like all these nostalgic gifts. It was like, I hope that this hunt is like something you look back on fondly, like back on fondly, like you do these toys. And so in this box were a bunch of fun things like old school candy and old socks and not old socks, but like old style of socks. But then he also had included four different packages of GI Joes. Oh, wow. And I got them and I was like, okay, basically we had a draft for these four GI Joes, like between Hattie and Bo.

I was like, okay, whoever's the best tomorrow, which I don't know if this is good parenting or not. Don't listen to me on this. But I was like, whoever acts the best tomorrow gets the first pick in the draft. And so they just went back and forth, and they each got two, and they are just in the most, like, G.I. Joe era of their life. Really?

They both into it? Yeah, especially Bo. I mean, Hattie, too, but especially Bo is, like, literally, like, sleeping with them, bringing them in the car with them. He had to church. You know, he had a little pocket in his button-up shirt at church. He put one of them in his pocket. I mean, he's just all over the place with these G.I. Joes.

And it's just so fun because, yeah, I mean, I talked about it. Like, I still think I could play with G.I. Joes if someone gave me some. If need be. A hundred percent, yeah. And so it's been fun to, like, play with them. And Catherine did say the other day, she's like, I don't know. Every once in a while, Bo will say things. I'll be like, maybe he shouldn't, you know, he'll be like, I'm going to kill you. You know, something back there. Like, ah, I'm going to put you in a

mass grave. Oh, whoa. Hey, hey, now where'd you learn that? But we did like kind of establish, or maybe had he did, I don't know. I don't know if I like told him this, but like he's established one of them is the good guy. One of them is the good guy. One of them is the bad guy. So maybe he's just trying to take down the bad guy. Hey, any good story has got some adversity. That's right. Got some struggle.

Pro tag and tag. Sure. I'm sure he understands that. But yeah, it's been fun, man. Last week, it feels like Catherine was gone quite a few nights last week. So I felt like I put the kids to bed by myself a lot, which was great and fun, and I just feel like we got some good time together.

So, yeah, Hattie's also in a fun phase right now. I think you'll be excited about this. Magic? Yes. Yes. Actually. Actually? Yeah.

Oh, I guessed it. Cool. I don't know how or when. It's like all of a sudden Saturday, um, we had a birthday party, like extended family birthday party for the September and October birthdays. And all of a sudden she's brings out like these magic tricks and she's like, and some of them are so funny because like, there's one where it's like, Hey, like, it's like, it's like this box that has two different coin slots, but you're not supposed to see both of them. And she's holder like hand

over one of the coin slots and be like, see how there's no coin. See how there's no coin. And then she'll just turn, turn, like turn around. So you can't see her and just turn the box over, pull it back up. Now there's a coin, but it's, it's so cute. Like all the different things. Um, she's yeah, she's got all these, like one of them has like a magnet for the coin. So like you push it in there and pull it out and there's coin, so you push it in there and pull it out and there's the coin. You put it back in and pull it out and there's no coin. Anyway, she's just... I can't wait. I'm already thinking...

Terrible showmanship to her. I know. I think we're going to do... Maybe there's five levels to your magic class and you've got to conquer them one by one. Once you trick Bo, then you're ready for the next level. Once Bo falls for it. Well,

Bo's falling for it right now. Where'd that, where'd that coin go, Hattie? Yeah, that coin just went away. Whoa, it's back,

Hattie. That GI Joe's going to kill that coin. Yeah, I think that's, that is a good level one for us. So, yeah. So if you,

if you ever want to come over next time, you're over at our house. Like I'm sure, you know, she, she got to take one of the magic tricks home with her. All the other ones were just at my aunt's house, but she took,

she's like, I decided to take home the hardest one, which is a card trick. Um, I don't really, she's like, it's hard because you have to memorize the top card. Okay. But I'm like, okay, that would be funny if she's like, it's tough. Cause have to memorize the top card. Okay.

But I'm like, okay. That would be funny if she's like, it's tough because you have to memorize the deck. Yeah, right. Okay, yeah, I hear you. It's pretty tough. Yeah, you have to memorize them and then recognize which one is not in there. And plus, where are we going to get a helicopter to make disappear? So that's fun.

So that's tough. They wouldn't let me take that one home. Yeah, I mean, Jake knows that guy. And, you know, was it North Carolina that could get me up in the air? Yeah. But, I mean, there's no one local. Nick, man. Yeah.

No, I got some I could teach at. I feel like I've got some. You don't need anything. You just need, I don't know. Yeah, you need almost nothing. It worked in Honduras. So. Okay.

So, how do you get it as well? Okay. Okay. Did you ever do the one with the, um, the, the card in the window? No, those are good.

That like there was a kid at Kanakuk. He was like a junior counselor. So he's like a senior in high school or something like that who came in. He kind of mentioned like, yeah, I'm kind of into like card tricks and stuff. And so one time at our like all staff Mohican tree meeting, we were like, all right, do you want to show us one? He's like, yeah, sure. I guess I

could. He shows one. It's kind of cool. And then the next one he showed was like, yeah, this card was in the window or something. And everyone just went bonkers. It's like, who is this guy? That's fine. I didn't know Spanish very well, but after I was doing a few metrics because I learned like, oh, this is I wasn't planning on

doing this here, but whatever. I'm just trying to think of stuff. And they start all calling me this word and I learned, I was like, oh, this is, I wasn't planning on doing this here, but whatever, I'm just trying to think of stuff. And they started all calling me this word, and I'm having to ask, like, what are they calling me? And they're like, they're calling you the wizard. Oh. And I was like, oh. How do you say that in Spanish?

This may be a bad thing. Yeah, right. At some point, this magical man has come to town, and he wants to build us a well. Oh, El Mago? El Mago. Yeah. That's what they called Alcides Escobar.

Oh. He was a whizzer on the baseball diamond back in the day. Sure. Fun fact. So, yeah, anyway. That's fun. Friday night movie night. What did you guys watch?

Friday night movie night this week, Aladdin. Good. And I didn't really get to watch it. We actually had some new friends from church over. And so it was kind of like a nice like, okay, we're going to have dinner together. And then Hattie and Bo, you guys go watch the movie while we get to have some more intentional talking time with our new friends.

So that's so nice. And they could just be down there, just watch the movie hour and a half. They're taken care of. Oh yeah. Bo did wet himself a little bit, but I don't know if that's Jafar or just concentration. It's like Bowie.

Yeah. I'm sorry, Dad. He's getting really good at like really genuinely sounding sorry these days. He's just like, I'm sorry. I don't know. I didn't mean to. I don't know. I just, I don't know how it happened. It was a magic carpet ride and it just happened.

I don't know. I mean, she said I could show you the world and I was like, oh, I can't stop. I can't go to the bathroom now. I don't know what happened. So, yeah. Yeah, potty in my pants. That's funny. The line's good, though.

Yeah. I was worried that Bo bow was gonna get too scared and maybe he did we don't know about it but uh they did all right with it so jafar could be a little scary but robin williams so so good good gene just top well maybe we should do uh schmor's characters some disney characters schmor's sometime yeah i mean he's up there for me as far as just like that's fun maybe we Maybe we should do that Wednesday. Yeah. Okay. Think about it. Um, anyway, yeah, it was fun time. That's fun. Yeah. Good for Bo. Good for Addy. Good for magic. Uh, yeah, I was on the road this weekend. Uh, where did I go? We flew to Tucson, uh, Tuxon as Isaac once called it. I know. Yeah. I remembered that later. Yeah.

I kept it in my back pocket. I was like, if it makes sense, I'll talk about that on stage. Not about Isaac, but just somehow mentioning that it never came up. But Tuckson, pretty cool town. Way smaller than I would have thought. Okay.

I was in the middle of downtown and there's not skyscrapers or anything. It's just kind of a small town for the college there. I was going to say, that's where University of Arizona is, right? Yeah. I think what really put Tucson on the map from what I remember is Chainsmokers I think what really put Tucson on the map from what I remember is

Chainsmokers. That's what put them on the map? You don't think they were on the map before that? No, I never saw them on the map. Blink-182 saw them that we beat to death in Tucson. Oh, okay. I was like, oh. Someone was murdered in Tucson. Blink-182 saw them that we beat to death in Tuscan. I don't know about that. Doesn't rhyme, but

interesting. Catchy song. Went from Tucson and then we don't know about that. It doesn't rhyme, but, you know. Interesting. Catchy song. Yeah. Went from Tucson, and then we don't have the bus this weekend. Do not have the bus. Did not have it last weekend. So we, like, wake up, and then at, like, 10 a.m., then drive up to Phoenix, and then. What's that drive? It was only, like, two and a half hours or so.

Okay. But then the next day, do a Phoenix show, and then wake up, and then fly to Long Beach. Logistically, can I ask, who's driving these cars? We had a driver, actually. We had two different escalades take us to Phoenix.

I was expecting, I was like, dang, like a van kind of vibe, but it was nice. No offense, Tymon. It's a great car. I just realized that's Tymon's van. Or no, it's in a Pacifica. No, it's Town of Good. Okay, okay, okay. I was imagining like a 12-passenger

or 15-passenger van with all of our luggage. So it was nice to have some room. Yeah. But yeah, just like busy days. I mean, the day we flew to Long Beach, we had a three-hour delay. So just a lot of time in the airport. And then once we got to Phoenix,

as soon as we got there, then we Ubered to Matt and Abby's house. They are some influencers who have a podcast themselves. Is it LA? Where is this? Phoenix. Phoenix.

So interviewed them on Cracked Opinions, and got to hang out at their house. It was good. Isaac, I guess, was somehow familiar with our content beforehand, and we're like, yeah, we're going over here, and Isaac goes, whew, was somehow familiar with their content beforehand. And we're like, yeah, we're going over here. And he was, Isaac goes, whew, good luck.

And he was serious. Isaac is not a fan of the content. They make a lot of like, let me try and explain this like just objectively. I would say their podcast is very, it's like borderline like therapy, whereas like they, like nothing is off limits. They talk about everything. I see. And I think they've kind of grown a following

by how like unfiltered they are. Very vlogger-esque, like, yeah, just. But also a lot of just solo content, mommy content, husband, wife, lifestyle content. Just one of those like famous bloggers. And they just get a lot of hate because I think that kind of comes with the territory. Like everyone wants to say they're cringy everyone wants to say they're they've

changed everyone's to say they're ugly now you know like they're how does isaac know about him that's the funny i don't know i should like all the way out rhythm you know yeah i was like dude how are you seeing this uh going back to the travel thing a little bit i know you're like you're still very easygoing but you, you're obviously getting more seasoned in your comedy career and traveling and stuff. Like what, what, how, how, how do you feel about like, okay, we have to drive here or we have to fly. Like what bothers you these days as far as that kind of stuff goes? That's a good question. Cause obviously like there's a little bit of inconvenience with the bus too, you know, or something like that or hotels or whatever. Like, so I'm just curious, like what is, what's, what's going through your head?

I don't know. I don't know if too much has changed over the years. Cause I still very much try to realize like, Hey, my worst days are not that bad. Right. Like, like I have to sit in a car, even if the bus breaks down and it floods, it's a tour bus that I live on. That's great. You know, like, yeah.

So I try to be aware of that but i would say the thing now that's like ah that's starting to annoy me is non-direct flights okay like i think i've just flown enough now like we can't fly direct to tucson right dang and in this weekend like we can't fly direct to west palm beach it seems like almost every flight in and out nowadays is not direct really so that's just like man that adds just hours of time away and just yeah just one extra flight i gotta take a nap on right because because to me the i don't know fly enough to where it's not still pretty fun every time you fly like i'm not like a little kid like staring out the window the entire time but like clouds clouds catherine like we just went to a cloud. That's crazy. Whoa, farmland, farmland, farmland.

Hey, crop circle. Look at this. Of all the things you get to yell, farmland. Farmland, farmland. What would even be more lame to yell than farmland? Streets. Streets. No, streets are better than farmland.

Airport. The airport we just came from. There it is. Another airplane. Another airplane would be kind of cool. Another airplane would be wild, actually. You're right. came from. Yeah, there it is. Another airplane. Another airplane would be kind of cool. Another airplane would be wild, actually. You're right. Farmland.

Farmland. Desert. Yeah. Desert. Yeah, maybe. No vegetation below us. Just oasis in the desert. No, but yeah, I still get like weirdly, I don't know.

I get happy when they say, do you want a drink? And I'm like, yes, I do. I would like three ounces of Coca-Cola, please. That's so fun. You know, and like they give you the little, the ice that's like kind of cylindrical. And it's like, that's kind of fun. It kind of hurts when you chew on it, but it's fun.

It's part of it. You know, and you never know what kind of snacks they're doing these days. You know exactly what kind of snacks. Yeah. You know? It is fun if you're like, oh, I don't fly United very often. I kind of forgot the snacks.

Yeah. Yeah. I'll take it or whatever. I had my headphones in. So I don't really know what you offered, but I'll take it. Yeah. I think that's kind of fun. You just like see them gesture.

You, sir. Yeah. Sure. I said, I said two of them. Yeah. I don't know. Okay. Two ginger ales.

Yeah. It's like, I don't know if they offered one of each. Yeah. Right. I don't know if that's five drinks or two snacks. I'll just, I'll take it. Yeah. One thing, Trey and I were actually talking about this this morning,

and Trey was, he was the one who brought it up, and I was like, I am kind of with you on that. Like, when you fly Southwest, your seats are not assigned, so it's by boarding group. You're given a position to line up in. Like, I'm A19, so I got to line up in kind of this general area, but I'm supposed to be behind the 18 in front of the 20. Um, so our like little trigger thing was like people coming up and like tapping on their

shoulder. Like, Hey, what, what number are you like trying to nail it, trying to get it perfect. It's like, Hey, we're all in the a group. Like we're all getting whatever seat we want. Like, I don't know if it's that big of a deal. Like if you're in front of me, you're behind me, it's all good. But then Derek piped up and he's like, you're in the a group. He's like, if you're at B 58, every point, every seat matters. Every number matters. That's so real. You better make sure 57 is in front of you. If

you're 58. Yeah, you're right. Like a 18 versus a 20. No problem. You're going to get whatever aisle seat, emergency exit row, whatever you want is going to be there for you. But like, yeah, the other one I, how do you, uh, so, so like you try to avoid that at all costs, like people tapping you back in the, like, I always like have my phone out and just kind of like nonchalantly kind of like swivel my body around with like my boarding pass, just in case people like want to know, like, like, and I'll do it almost passively aggressively sometimes. Like I'll be, I'll be B 57 and B 58 in front of me. And I'll be like let's see uh let's see oh yep this is right got my

turn my phone around the opposite way yeah sorry and uh yeah okay let's if i need to call anybody no i don't think i need to call no ah. Ah, I didn't put a case on this. If I quadruple tap this thing, I can take a picture of this boarding pass. It says B-56. Yeah, right. Off that lens. Oh, did you see?

Yes. Yeah, B-19. I am. Yeah, I am. Yeah, yeah. So if you're B-20, probably. Probably behind me is how it works. Yeah, that's a great tactic.

Yeah. Yeah, I like that. because it is like this weird there's so many funny little nuances of flying like people love to stand up by the line too early dude and i feel so cool coming at the last minute like just let's wait everyone's temp it's tempting when everyone's standing up but just like just you wait there's three different things i can think of right now that all annoy me when it comes to people standing in the airport. One, let's go with lining up to board. Can we not make more space?

Yep. Southwest is like, what's the smallest amount of room we can cram 300 people into? And let's try it. Some airports are bad. Let's have San Diego. Great city. Fun.

Terrible airport. Really? I was just in that one recently. You have no room. So standing there stinks. Right when you land, people get up and stand that's annoying yep dude chill we're still we're in the middle of the tarmac what are you doing right um tarmac tarmac tarmac tarmac underneath us third most annoying start to notice this if you start flying more often if you haven't noticed it yet you're a baggage claim you're waiting on your bag you're the self-aware

person realizing um hey i can still see my bag from 10 feet away of the baggage claim area i don't need to be right next to it everyone else their knees their shins are making contact with the metal on the battery oh it drives me crazy yes there's been a couple times where i was like a4 i had a great seat i'm in front of the plane i'm the first one to baggage claim and i like I will stand my ground and I'm right here. And the next thing you know, 10 minutes later, I'm in the back. Everyone has come in front of me. Oh, it is so annoying. It is odd. There is no

spatial awareness. Even just the intelligence to realize, hey, this is going to be a lot more efficient if we all are 10 feet back. And then when you see your bag, you go up. Right. Because they create a wall and then you can't see your bag. Yeah. You don't have to Zacchaeus the whole thing and like get up high or something. derrick's shoulders were killing him because i had to sit on top of him for 15 minutes in long beach derrick there's my bag derrick there's

farmland yeah seriously judith give it farmland farmland oh it's so annoying yeah it's real i think i forgot to post it one time but one time i took a picture because i knew it was going to happen so i took a picture of me with no one in front of me. And then 10 minutes later, I took a picture of everyone in front of me. And it's like, this is crazy. Oh, it's annoying. It is a funny, weird insecurity of like, well, if I'm not up there, maybe I'll miss my bag.

I'll miss it. And the thing is, if you miss it, you either wait or you walk. They're not going very fast. Just walk along. Absolute worst case scenario. You have to walk 20 feet. And I mean worst-case scenario.

Or you have to wait 60 seconds. Yeah, yeah. Maybe. Come back around again next time. It's not like they're going from Tuscan to Phoenix and back. Yeah, you have one shot at this. Or else it's just going back on the tarmac. Go find it later.

Well, I guess this person didn't make the flight. I don't know. Throw it out. That would be actually pretty fun. You have one shot to nail it. You have one shot and it goes fast. Because sometimes it takes a while to get your bag. It'd be nice if it just came in quick. I would

like to see him speed up the speed of the conveyor belt. That would be nice. Just a little. Even if it's 20% higher. Honestly, I could probably do a podcast every week of just like travel things you know or just like the uber well i was just about to say but i don't want to get into that but now i'm thinking does anyone who's a normal well-adjusted person in society drive for

uber i haven't met them yet really it's just crazy because i know we take a lot of ubers but i think you'd just be shocked and how like this one was really weird but it was weirder than any version i've ever seen before oh this one was weird i've never seen that you know just like yeah we ordered an uber xl which i know when they accept the ride they don't know where you're going but still xl you know we get it we try to take a ride they say oh trunks unavailable what's going to the airport what do you mean trunks unavailable trunks unavailable in the xl yeah that's like if you yeah you're driving a semi and you're like that cab cab only only only got 14 wheels today boys sorry about that like beds out of commission yeah oh sorry uh what did you do just cancel so um yeah i mean trey was like hey we'll just like we'll just like put our luggage

in our bags and like we got to go and the guy was like no i gotta cancel i gotta cancel trey was getting fired i was like do you drive for uber then take me to the airport wow the guy was just like no it's unavailable like what's it back there dude yeah really like how precious is whatever's back can we unload that can we put that in our laps? Probably. The guy just canceled the ride and drove off. It's just a bunch of oranges. There's something like you cannot stack anything on top of these things. They're just loose oranges.

Two different Ubers just this weekend that told us the trunk was unavailable. Two different times. I don't think the answer is yes, but is it becoming like, hey you know is getting this kind of stereotype but then lyft or oh i think they're both but these people drive for both sometimes right yeah usually you know maybe what you need to do is start paying for like whatever they call uber

black or whatever you're supposed to get like professional drivers give me so expensive then just hire a professional driver at that point yeah that's a good point don't go uber it just doesn't seem that hard just to like just just get me there sure give me because we had one driver this weekend who like 100 had road rage and it's like it's terrifying in the backseat i mean he's honking at people he's where's this la i don't know where that was maybe phoenix or something but it's like yeah we're scared it's like whoa buckle up now holy cow this dude's a maniac he thinks everyone else is the problem on the road like dude look at the mirror a little bit right there's no way everyone else is the bad driver i know every 30 seconds what's this guy doing you know a little bit later

this guy's oh dad no one here knows how to drive okay back where i'm from in schenectady i don't know that's a fun name right this guy connected they drive better than this. He'd be in the middle lane of the highway, and clearly there's a ton of space. This guy has put his blinker about to switch lanes in front of him. He would speed up when he saw that guy put his blinker on just to make it inconvenient for everyone. Just to scare everybody and potentially cause accidents. Yes, dude.

There's not a single normal Uber driver. Okay. It's just a different character every time. Okay, so true or false, Uber's. Okay. It's just a different character every time. Okay. So true or false, Uber's going down. Uber's going down. Is it here to stay or is there a chance that, I mean, it sounds like the quality of Uber is going down. Right?

Because I don't feel like, I don't take Ubers very often, but when I did, I feel like it was when I was a little bit younger, aka, you know, five, six years years ago and they were not that weird or like i had pretty normal ones but it feels like you're getting a lot recently and they're going bad yeah even just i'm thinking of another one right now when i landed in minneapolis and then i ubered to go meet up with rachel and her family this guy as soon as i get in the car he starts immediately cursing not necessarily at me but kind of indirectly at me because he's like, I'm only getting nine effing dollars for this ride. I was like, I don't know.

It says it's charging me 30. And he's like, yeah, but I'm only getting nine. I was like, I don't know. Sorry, I guess. And then just the whole ride, like he's upset. He's like just kind of cursing under his breath at Uber. Why do I do this job? I said,

this would be a good way, you know, come to America, drive for Uber. And like, yeah, he's like blaming. I don't know.

Sheesh. Like he saw a tick talk and was like, this is how much money I make every month on Uber. This is, these are real numbers that you can make too. Yeah. I was just like, man,

this guy is so upset. I don't know. I, I'm apologizing. I'm like, I don't know why. Right. I was just like, man, this guy is so upset. I don't know. I'm apologizing. I'm like, I don't know why. Just please just get me there safely. I don't care. I'll just say whatever. That is really tough though in that situation of like,

I feel like it's kind of my fault because I hired you, but like I think you would have gotten hired by somebody else if I didn't press the button. He was honking at people before we even left the airport. I was like, oh man, this dude is upset. Wow. Minnesota, not so nice. man, this dude is upset. Wow. Minnesota, not so nice. Anyway, we record a while and haven't even talked about major roasters.

That's my bad. That's okay. Talk about him. Well, let me tell you guys about him while I take my hoodie off. You see, me in a hoodie is the old way of drinking coffee. Yeah, it's nice. Oh, it's fall. Put on a hoodie.

Yeah. What you guys don't realize, it would be really cool if I had something underneath. I was going to say, this is going to be cool. It seems like I'm setting this up. Yeah, you got to make Oh, it's fall. Put on a hoodie. Yeah. What you guys don't realize, it would be really cool if I had something underneath here. I was going to say, this is going to be cool. It seems like I'm setting this up to like, oh, what's underneath? Nope, just plain white shirt.

I just happen to be warm. It's not that white. It's kind of mocha. It's kind of like a mocha chocolate. Go off, King. Okay, that's it. We are sponsored by- The old way of coffee

was just to go with- Coffee doesn't have to be served warm. No. No, it doesn't, Jake. That's what I'm trying to say. We've always said that. It can be cold. Iced coffee.

Iced coffee. Tepid. Room temperature coffee. Like how I'm trying to feel. Right. I think I got the point across. You're a little warm right now. Would you prefer Main Street Roasters coffee hot or Main Street Roasters iced?

Can I get it iced, please? Sure. You absolutely can. Really? They would do that? A hundred percent. You could do that. You could make your coffee and freeze it too.

That's what I'm reading it here. MainStreetRoasters.com. Make your coffee and freeze it. Wow. That's awesome. That's great. Thanks, man. Yeah.

Timon, do you think you'll go to college? Not currently planning on it. Good for you. I don't think you should. In my five seconds of contemplating and thinking about it. Yeah, I think you're fine without it. Yeah, I've been told that. Yeah.

I think you're pretty much already in the workforce. Pretty ready to probably hit it full steam. I hope so. Yeah?, pretty ready to probably hit it full steam. I hope so. Yeah? Yeah. How do you hit it full steam? So you get it to a boil, and you pressurize it.

Oh, okay. And then when it's just ready to burst... Time to hit it! No college. That's how I do it. I don't know. That's how I full steam it. That's how I full steam it. Oh, man.

This past Saturday, I went to Main Street Roasters. Nope. McLean's. Got it on the brain. Hey, Main Street Roasters, if you ever have an event, I will come bring my cutting boards to it.

How about that? Had a little McLean's Market sale all day. This is my third year of doing it, and it was fun. Sold some cutting boards. Got to meet some new ghosties. Shout out to Kevin. Kevin came and he came early credit to Kevin. He came early before much, many other people were there. And so I got to talk to this guy for what felt like an hour. It was awesome. He, you know, he's a dad of two. He's aspiring, uh, full-time YouTuber right now,

making these cool videos, uh, at home while also being an engineer at Garmin. So I'm like, you're doing just fine, brother. I'll tell you, I felt a little extra security.

I hopped in that plane a couple weeks ago with Nick and I saw they were using all Garmin instruments. It's like, Hey, I've seen your headquarters. Yeah. You just live across the street from him. He,

uh, that is cool. It is like, I can't believe that Garmin is still in existence. Cause it was like their whole thing forever was like, I can't believe that Garmin is still in existence. Cause it was like their whole thing forever was like, you know, the add on GPS for your car. And it was like, no one could drive without one. And now it's like, no one has one of those and they're still doing all right. But now no one can fly without one. There you go. Um, but he's saying

he's, uh, doing golf watches, I think yeah. Some kind of golf line or something like that. So anyway, had some good discussion with him. Had a few other people come say hi. Saw the Mings. Mings were in town for it. That's nice of them. And yeah, it was a good time. Didn't sell a whole lot of cutting boards.

Yeah. It was okay. The whole intention beforehand was like, I want to do it with Hattie. Like I didn't sell a whole lot the time before either. And so I was like, I don't know if this is really worth it for my time, but it'd be fun to do with Hattie. Uh, and so Hattie and I, the day before, like, should we re sanded and re like applied oil on every single cutting board? You know, I had her pick out like, Hey, what are your 10 favorite cutting boards? Let's put those aside

and we'll put those up front to display them. Those are the money beats. Those are the money beats. We put those right up front. And I was hoping she would get up early with me the morning of. It turned out I got up at like 5.45. I was like, I'm not going to get up. Wow.

They wanted us to start setting up at 6.30. Wow. Yeah. I was like, I'm not Hattie Hattie to her credit. I mean, Catherine has instilled her in her, like, Hey, sleeping is really good for your health. And so Hattie like will often sleep into like nine o'clock sometimes and be like really proud of it. And I don't think it's like harnessed into any kind of laziness yet, but like, she's, she definitely was like, I don't want to get up

early because I don't want to get sick. I think I should sleep in and then maybe I could come later. And I'm like, that's fine. I hope Heidi keeps that mentality because there is a bad stigma just like in American society about like if you like, let's say you stay up all night working and then got eight hours of sleep but woke up at 11

a.m. That's like looked down upon. But if you went to bed at 11 and got eight hours of sleep and woke up earlier, then AM. That's like looked down upon. Yeah. But if you went to bed at 11 and got eight hours of sleep and woke up earlier, then it's like, good for you, man. It's like, what if we work the same amount? Sorry. Got to wake up early. Right. That's part of being a woodworker had, you know, just sleeping in when you got, you know, um, so anyway, she was kind of around for a little bit, but there were friends, you know, some of her little friends were there and then she ended up going home a little bit earlier with my sister and her cousins and whatever. So it wasn't like this like entrepreneurial teaching moment. Like I wanted it to be, but it was fun because she did help me the

day before. So I like paid her and she like kept working harder and harder for it. That is nice. Cause she wanted to make money and Bo tried to get in on the action, but he would, he would just be like, you know, he worked for like five seconds and be like, okay, how much I'm ready for my money, dad. I'm like, no, you got to work for a long time if you want money. And then you do like, you know, 10 more seconds and be like, okay, I'm ready for my money now. I'm like, no, buddy, not quite getting it yet. So, um, but it was, it was a fun time still. It's always just fun to be out there and doing that stuff. And I do have a lot of cutting boards still. So if anybody's interested, contact me,

Ellis custom creation. So, um, that's fun. That's always good to do. Mix it up a little bit. Yeah. Yeah.

It was great. And honestly, like I, my mindset has been so on ghost runners and jean shorts and sponsors and all that stuff lately that it was good to get back into that mindset a little bit and, um, make some stuff.

And I got some cool orders coming up, a few ghosties potentially ordering some stuff. So got some cool orders coming up a few ghosties potentially ordering some stuff so um pretty fun pretty fun time in the wood shop um thanks ghosties for yeah ordering for my friend always cool yeah always cool to have people be like i love your podcast i would love to support you i'm like yes please thank you great i would love to do that for you so um yeah anyway that yeah, anyway, that's fun. I, um,

see what I want to talk about. Sorry, the show is just real quick. Uh, the, I had some fun, just kind of moments, Arizona,

the Phoenix show was the largest venue we've ever performed in, which is really fun. It holds 5,000. We didn't sell 5,000, but still, it was just fun to be in a venue. It's like of that magnitude. Like that was pretty fun. Yeah. It's cool. What was it like as far as going up there? Like, I don't know. Did it feel way bigger? Like, cause obviously even though there weren't 5,000 people in the stands was that, you know, the speakers that you're using are supposed to be

for 5,000 people, you know, like, yeah. could you feel something different there? That's a good question, but I really don't know if I could tell a difference. You definitely can't see a visual difference. I mean, you can only ever see the first couple rows anyway. So it didn't feel, it was still a theater, you know, so it didn't feel anything. It wasn't like, oh, I'm in an auditorium now, or, you know, I'm in, or, you know,

like a stadium now or an arena now. It still felt like a similar size. Question about the first two rows thing. Is that like like does your does your do your eyes ever acclimate into so you can see farther or is it truly like i can only always see those two rows like it depends on the venue some it's like more illuminated by the lighting they have but for the most part i mean you've got a spotlight in your eyes the whole time you're up there so i never adjust really really, which is fine. It's, I don't think

I care to see more than the first few rows. Yeah. So do you get more or less intimidated depending on the size of the venue? Because like, you know, on one hand, I'm sure like mentally you're like, this place is huge. I know it's huge. I can see it out there as a lot of people. But then when you're up there, it's like, well, I can't see them. Yeah. I think that's, yeah. I think it's, maybe I've just done it enough times where it doesn't seem to matter too much one way or another. It's just like, this is fun. As long as people are laughing, I'm feeling good. If they were not laughing, then I'd be nervous or something.

Or like, if no one was in this room, I'd be nervous. But then the next night was the Long Beach show. And I don't know what they've got going on acoustically there because it wasn't a sold out show or anything, but it was like one of the loudest shows we've ever done. It was so, so fun. So during soundcheck, which my soundcheck is a joke. It takes 20 seconds.

Hey, my name is Jake, first comedian. It sounds great. Cool. You know, I don't know what else I would be wanting, but I do it every day just in case. I don't know. And this day at Long Beach, like as soon as I got in the microphone,

it was just like crazy echoey. And I was like, ooh, it seems like, I don't know, is there a way to like minimize that? Can we just turn me down? And he was just like,

it's kind of just a boomy room. It's an echoey room. So I was like, okay, I trust you. It was kind of the end of the soundcheck. I was like, oh,

I couldn't really, sound like you couldn't really do anything about it. And then, but I think lesson learned, if it's a really echoey, if it's really echoey during soundcheck, it's going to sound amazing doing comedy in there. Okay. It was like a Jesus feeding the 5,000 miracles.

I know there's not that many people out here, and it sounds crazy. Yeah. It sounds like people are sitting on top of each other. It sounds like it's twice sold out. It was really fun. Yeah. That was really, really cool.

Did your microphone get better when they came out or when, when the people were there? No, it still sounded pretty loud to me. Oh, it did. But I was like, well, they seem to understand it. They can hear they are, they are laughing. Just trust them. Yeah.

That was fun. It wasn't, I don't know if I did anything crazy crowd work wise, but it's just like people are laughing so hard at what it sounds like to me at my just written materials. Like this is fun. This is so like encouraging. Yeah. And I'm sure it was no different than tucson no different than phoenix but just the way the room is set up it was like wow i got all the confidence the world now just by the way the room is set up that was your last one right yeah so that was fun hi and i also post about this on the facebook group but it was connected to the scuba show yes which is where i

got this freelance gig back in 2019 probably the week we started the podcast i was in long beach uh being a videographer for this scuba convention and our theater in long beach that we performed at was connected to the scuba show it's crazy we hopped out of the uber i was like whoa i know that wow that's crazy took a picture uber hopped out of the uber so the scuba scuba scuba Uber. So it was pretty fun. And got to see some ghosties. A lot of people. Her name was Holly Waters.

Looks like holy water. I'm in my ghosty era shirt. I just got it. Just in time. A lot of ghosties at every show. Judith. Great to meet you guys. That's great, man. You're doing it. You're leaving again in what? Five hours? No, I'm just kidding. Yeah. Tomorrow morning. Yeah. Which on that note,

you know what? Let's talk about good ranchers. And then let me, let me real on that note. Yeah. Before, before we get into all the details of good ranchers, Friday night dinner with our friends, we had good ranchers chicken and And these people, they could not stop raving about the chicken. This guy called me a grill master, Justin. He's like, you're a grill master. I was like, I can't emphasize to you enough how little of a grill master I am. I turned over the chicken a few times and I put the thermometer in there. It is the chicken, man. It's the chicken that makes the difference. Would you say you're like a grill associate? Yeah. I would say I'm an entry-level grill associate. Yeah. Like I, I, I

wrote that I'm proficient in Excel, you know, on my resume, but I mean, I don't know that much before besides like equals some and then parentheses, you know, get the, no. Um, so I'm, I'm fine. I know, I know how to like start a grill and how to read a thermometer on a grill. Um, so like the, the higher, the number, the hotter the grill is be careful. Yeah. So, but my grill is literally like, it is, there's a hole in the bottom of it because it's like rusted out and like, whatever, all this, like I, we, I might light my house on fire at some point, but it doesn't matter because the chicken that comes off of it, the burgers, the steak, everything still tastes top-notch because of good ranchers. That's right. And like having a hole in your grill, yes, it's going to

attract squirrels and birds, but that makes the chicken better. That's right. That's not going to take away from it. Not when it's good ranchers. Yeah, yeah. Not when it's good ranchers anyway. Yeah.

Really excited. Excited. Yeah. That was awesome. So. Fun. Anyway, the plan tonight was for Rachel and I to make some good ranchers, have a nice dinner together, a little date night at the house.

We were going to go then play some pickleball with each other. Fun. Had all these plans. An hour ago, Rachel texted me and said, hey, really bad news. I'm not going to be able to go to Sculpt today. I'm not going to be able to like be at the house. The school is asking me to come back and I have to work and I have to set up for like testing day tomorrow. So I have to go. I'll be there from six until late tonight to help set up and i was like what they're just making you show up that's tough uh she said yeah i still get to come home at normal time but i have to go back um because they have me like on the schedule and i was like how how long do you think late is she said one of the other teachers said i don't want to be here until late, and late to me is 1130.

That's what the teacher said. That's what one of the teachers said. So I was like, that is so crazy to me. They can just take away a night of your life. Yeah. I was like, can you explain to them our situation and that I'm always gone? Right. That's what I was going to say. And maybe

remind them that you're an unpaid intern. That's what I was also going to say, I'm pretty sure she doesn't get paid for this. No. I was like, get out of this. Like, we have all these plans. I'm not in town very often. This is my only full day in Kansas City.

I feel for you and her, but I feel that's tough. And that's one of those things that I know, if I were in your shoes slash when I was in your shoes, because Catherine did ministry, and so there were so many times where I'm like, are you kidding me? You have to be gone. Like,

this is the one time out of the month that my family has a birthday party. Like, and you can't come because of that. Like, come on. Like you're always whatever. And back when I was first married, I remember like making a big deal about it.

And of course in hindsight, it's like, Hey, it's okay. It's just one night, but it's like really frustrating. Yeah. In the moment. In the moment. It's like, ah, we had plans. I said no to other plans. It was our night.

Yes. Like you're being intentional and yeah. Dang. I'm sorry. Just be, just, just be mad together at the school and don't be mad at her. That's my advice to you on that. Yeah, no, that's a good word. I think my, sorry, my inclination back in the day was like, well, Catherine, why couldn't you like, why couldn't you stand up for our marriage? Like, why can't you, like, come on, like you need to say something about this. And if you don't, that means that you don't prioritize this enough. And it's like, that's not it at all. Like in hindsight, it's like, she's just, she's just being nice and doing her thing and whatever. So, yeah. Cause I know they enjoy and

really appreciate how flexible Rachel has been. But at the same time, it's like, ah, I just don't want you to be taken advantage of. Like, right. I want to stand up for you.

I know it's not my place, but I want to like, I want to call a school. Yes. A hundred percent. That's what, when I was, when Catherine was working on K life,

I was like, I want to be on the board. I was like, I want to be on the board and advocate for the staff because they don't understand how much work you guys are doing.'re gonna start a union uh yeah exactly a union rep so yeah like oh would have been nice to have good ranchers night would have been nice to have a night to ourselves but right right it's gonna be there at the score from 6 to 11 or whatever you go that's a good thought yeah i don't know maybe i just make them feel bad the whole time hey i'm

here to help uh oh there's nothing to do traveling comedian i'm not in town often and uh my unpaid intern wife sorry we just got married so um anyway we just really value our time together like that would honestly lead you a bigger fight than anything like just being a jerk like to all these people for the thing is though it's like this school it's like it's not like rachel chose this school it's not like she's like planning on working there it's like she just has to do this unpaid for another like two months yeah it's like this school. It's not like Rachel chose this school. It's not like she's planning on working there. It's like she just has to do this unpaid for another two months. It's like, hey, you burn a bridge here and there. Not the worst thing in the world. Yep.

That's called there's one in every relationship. There's one in every marriage that's going to be like, hey, who cares about these people? And the person's like, I do. Okay. Yeah. It's all good. It's just one night. Yeah, that's right.

That's right. i'll do something fun for when she comes home have a little surprise okay i don't know what ping pong table bring it back up yeah it'd be fun yeah is it downstairs right now in the garage i think i think where is that thing anyway um that's that i did get to see to see Rachel a bit this weekend, though. I flew straight from Long Beach to Minnesota because the Chiefs play the Vikings every four years, and every eight years it's in Minnesota, I guess. So, yeah, Rachel's fans are all Vikings fans.

Rachel's family, Vikings fans. It's like, how perfect. Let's go up there. We'll all meet up in Minneapolis, go to the Chiefs game. So that was really fun. Dude, can I hate or joke? Whatever. Make fun of Catherine a little bit. It's like, how perfect. Let's go up there. We'll all meet up in Minneapolis, go to the Chiefs game. So that was really fun. Dude, can I hate or joke?

Whatever. Make fun of Catherine a little bit. Catherine's like, I wonder if Jake's wearing Viking stuff at the game. I'm like, what? No. I know. And you had already sent that picture of you in that Mahomes shirt. I was like, I know he's wearing Mahomes.

And Catherine's like, well, can't you just see Jake, like, just being such a suck up to his in-laws and wearing Viking stuff? I was like, I know he's wearing my homes. And Catherine's like, well, can't you just see Jake just being such a suck up to his in-laws and wearing Viking stuff? I was like, no way! No! Catherine, this is the only team I cheer for. This is the only TV I watch. She's like, well, can't you just... He just loves them so much. I was like, that doesn't matter! They love him!

I rerouted my... I flew to Minneapolis for them. If anything, Rachel was wearing Chief stuff. Anyway, I just thought it was such a funny thought of Catherine being like, I mean, I flew to Minneapolis for them. It made it, Rachel was wearing chief stuff. Like, anyway, I just thought it was such a funny thought. That's funny, Catherine. Like, I mean, maybe he's wearing Viking stuff.

Like, no way. It's funny she believed in me. Sorry, I let you down, Catherine. But no, Rachel and I were like matching,

uh, Mahomes and Kelsey, like graphic tees that Gunnar got us for our wedding, which is funny. I put on a story. People were like, dude, where'd you get these?

I'm like, I don't know, my friend. That's the most Gunnar thing. Yeah. Uh, but the game was fun. We sat on the very top row, which was cool.

Never sat on the top row. I've come close a couple of times. What's the, did you, like, did you have a, like a literal wall behind you? Yeah. Okay. I just scratched my head a couple of times and hit it. I was like, oh yeah, we are at the back. But it was fun.

It's like a, it's a dome. It's really nice. Looks sweet. It looks really cool. The outside is like Cybertruck vibes, like sharp angles, like cool. Uh-huh.

Jagged is like see glass. Some of it is. Yeah. A lot of like natural light that comes in there. Yeah. It's cool, dude. Yeah.

Got real sick of that Viking horn pretty quickly. Dude, that that was perfect. Thank you. Nailed that. That must have come through the broadcast.

Yeah. Oh, you hear it all the time. I mean, they'd play it for anything. It's just like it's second and 14. Like, they could have the ball. It doesn't matter if the Chiefs have the ball. That's the two-minute warning. It's great.

I mean, they played for anything. I was giving Tim and Steve Koop a hard time because the Vikings kicked kind of like a, not a sad field goal, but it was like, they probably should have scored on this drive. Then the penalty backed them up. They ended up kicking a field goal.

The Chiefs are still up seven to three. And dude, they brought out, I mean, this song, this dance, they're parading around the field with flags that say Vikings. Everyone's like, V-I-K-I-I. And they're all singing this song like for three points in the first quarter.

Act like you've been here before. Oh, my gosh. I mean, they almost brought the house down for a first quarter field goal. Yeah, and it wasn't even like a long field goal, I don't think. No, it wasn't anything crazy. It was like, he should make this field goal. Yeah, you got to save the good ones for touchdowns. I couldn't believe how much they were celebrating for a field goal.

Like maybe play a little like, you know, hip hop song after you make it or something. Something upbeat, celebratory. But not the whole kit and caboodle. It was the K-State Wabash. You remember that? Like everyone's singing and dancing and moving around for a field goal. Because I feel like if you're a Vikings fan, you're like, dang, you're a little on down. Like we should have got six there.

We had three. Now I got a V I K I N G. I actually liked the idea of like, like this is my kind of humor is like, you know, just something terrible happened to the Viking. Like, you know, the game is over or Justin Jefferson gets hurt. You know, it looks like he has a season ending injury or something. He's like on the field that the trainers like attending to him. And the guy in the booth accidentally presses the button. Like that is the pinnacle of my humor. Like it's like really serious and quiet.

Then all of a sudden, let's go. Let's go. Bucky's just down on the ground. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Like their season is over. Give it up for the one in five Minnesota Vikings.

Oh my gosh, dude. The skull? How was that? Skull was, I think it's fun that they have something, right? I mean, the Chiefs have the tomahawk chop. I think as long as you have something, that's good with me. Something to make a difference. You texted, you're like, I was a little unimpressed.

I was underwhelmed by the skull. So, Tymon, let me educate you, slash all the ghosts out there that don't know. Daryl Strawberry. So, Daryl Strawberry leads this chant. So, they have this big drum, which the Chiefs do, too. There's a big drum, and a guy does two quick ones. And then there's, like, you know, everyone in the stands after. So, you bang. You bang, Jake. Doof, and then there's like, you know, everyone that stands after it. So you, you bang, you bang Jake.

Skull. Skull. Skull. And then it keeps going. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull.

Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. Skull. It's a great sound. Uh,

and, but like half the people, like it's just, it's just not very like passionate scolding. Like they, they showed all these different people in the stands as they were doing it. And they just be like, skull.

Luke did text. He was like, I feel like the camera picked on like not very excited people. Like they don't. But you don't see anybody like, doom doom, skull. Doom doom, skull. You're right, it's like a subdued. You don't have Leif Erikson back there, just like going nuts.

Yeah, like there's only so much you could do with this. Skull. Do it again. Doom doom, skull. Leaf Erickson back there just like going nuts. Yeah, like there's only so much you could do with this. Do it again. Skull. Skull. Like was Angie going nuts? There's no way. She was nuts. There's no way Angie was just losing it.

It'd be worrisome if she was losing it. Like, oh my gosh. So anyway. That's a good point. It's a fun thing and I've seen it a few times gosh. So anyway, it's a good point. It's a fun thing and I've seen it a few times and I'm like, that's kind of cool.

But then when they like, they like did like a piece on it, not really, but like they like really focused on it on the broadcast. Like the Daryl Strawberry origin and everything.

I was just like, I don't, I don't get, like that wasn't, that wasn't cool enough to do that. Like they like stopped, they like stopped announcing.

Hey, okay. And now the legendary skull chant stopped announcing. Hey, hey. Okay, and now the legendary Skull chant. Doom, doom. Skull. Credit to the Vikings video production. I don't know what to call it exactly. Maybe their Ethernet cables.

I don't know. The Chiefs have a problem at Arrowhead Stadium because when we're trying to do the tomahawk chop, they bring out someone every game to beat the drum. Good amount of delay. What we're hearing out do the tomahawk chop, they bring out someone every game to beat the drum. Good amount of delay. Like, what we're hearing out of the speakers is different than what the drum is. Bike and Stadium got it figured out. Like, when

you hear the beat, you also see him drumming. I like that. Really? Yeah, it was like there was no delay, no lag. What's that called? Yeah, yeah. Well, I feel like so much of that's just latency. That's the word. But so much of that is just like natural, isn't it? Maybe. So maybe the dome versus outdoors? Well, I feel like so much of that's just latency. That's the word. But so much of that is just like natural, isn't it? Maybe.

So maybe the dome versus outdoors. Well, I don't know if it is natural. You could always put speakers closer to people. Yeah. Because I think we had a speaker right above us. So the video and audio is like synced up. There's like arrowhead. There's like speakers just like once it's on the end zone.

And that's like all we have basically. No, there's more speakers in that. I know we've talked about this before. Yeah, we've talked about this before. But yes, I understand what you're saying. Yeah, but a KU game, the side where the band is playing is clapping in a different – because you can see how fast people are clapping. They're supposed to be clapping along, but the other side is off from each other. I feel like the Vikes were synced up.

Yeah. You've got to give them that. Dum-dum. Sync! Synced. Synced. I'm trying to think what else. Yeah, it was fun.

A ton of Chiefs fans there. That was kind of crazy. How were the Vikings fans towards the opposing fan base of the Chiefs? Everything was chill in the top row. Everything was good. Did you connect with other Vikings fans? Did you become friends with people around you?

Not really. There were actually Chiefs fans sitting next to me, but they had the most pungent, just gross-smelling weed smell I've ever been a part of. I was getting contact high. It was very, very stinky. That's going to be part of your memory. Yeah, yeah.

The smell of marijuana. The left side of my body. Because Rachel was like, do you want to switch with me so you could sit by like Tim and my dad like talk football is like you don't deserve this. Let me take this. Yeah, yeah, but she wasn't smelling it like she did. I mean like when they got up and went to the bathroom, she's like, does something smell like weed? I'm like, yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, it's the people sitting 12 inches from you. That's such a bummer. But if I could say it was cool,

it's cool to be in a dome. You do miss a flyover. I miss a good flyover, like from airplanes. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. I was just thinking of how could they,

how could they do one? I'll tell you what they do do. And I mean, I was boggled the whole time. This is one of those things that I just get set on. I'm like, no one else cares. No one else wants to try and figure this out with me.

They keep setting off fireworks. I don't know how they're like setting these off because nothing is going up i think something is being strung from the ceiling on a timer or something and then they're they're detonated remotely really i think it's from the sky because like i mean i'm staring at the field like all right they're about to announce somebody else like where's the firework coming from and it's like nothing is being shot up especially when like okay a player just scored now they're in Obviously wouldn't have had a firework on the field. So now I know it's coming from the sky. Oh,

interesting. I don't know where it's a smoke going. Yeah. How'd they do this? It's a legit firework, but maybe it's not. Maybe it's not like, maybe it's something else.

Maybe they sync up. That sounds so well. They just pop it with the lights. It's just a light in the speaker. Makes a firework. Dissolvable light. Yeah. With the pop.

That's probably what it is. I think that's what it is. We figured it out. No one needs to tell us otherwise. Skull fireworks. Skull! Yeah. So that's it.

Yeah. Chiefs 1, if you want to hear us talk more football, listen to All-Time Quarterback. Yep. Patreon.com. Did you do anything else in Minneapolis? What did I do? I ran into a K-Life girl. That was kind of fun.

Forget her name now, but it's fun. Like saw a fan. Sooner or later, they got out of the Uber. She was like, you ran Kansas City K-Life. I was like, what are you doing here? She was like, it's kind of a long story. I was like, me too. That's okay.

It's kind of a long story, but I'm here too. What else did I do? We went and had lunch, went to the game, drove back to Iowa that night, and then drove back from Iowa to Kansas city on Monday. How much did you feel like Steve and you said it was just, no, it was just Steve and Tim and Angie and Rachel and me. Right. Right. Right. Um, how much did you feel like they were like true Vikings fans versus like, we're so long for the ride uh tim and steve vikings fans really for sure big time like they know the players yeah yeah um angie coop just a big fan of christianity you know so i think she's

like kirk cousins i'm here for kirk cousins sure me too uh-huh yeah and uh so yeah she was fun she really likes she roots for the chiefs unless they're playing the vikings sure um it's fun though i think i've kind of mentioned before we're in that fantasy football league with the Koops. Yep. And I've never seen people check their fantasy team more than like Steve Koop and Angie a little bit, too. I mean, they're into it, which is fun. Like they're just checking it constantly

And afterwards, there's an interesting thing going on so i need to put this out in the ghost runners kind of universe here so we don't think there's only like four people in her class um so it's a very small class they all know each other very well at this point they're always sharing with each other presenting critiquing affirming but there's someone in her class who might be a ghosty but hasn't yet

mentioned it yet what what okay tell me more why you think that um rachel had a ghost runners hat on this time yeah and ghost runners dot life yes okay and rachel coop is in the house rachel coop not for long uh rachel come here i might need your help remembering this. So this girl, first thing, compliments Rachel's hat. She's like, oh, I love your hat. And then Rachel had a Ghost Runners sweatshirt on, too. From GhostRunners.life. Supportive wife. Yeah.

And the girl's like, oh, I like your sweatshirt, too. And she's like, thanks. They have to do something else in the class where you have to pick a number of something, you know, one through 20. And Rachel's like, I'm going to choose 14. And I think the girl was like, I thought you picked that. That's your

volleyball number. Whoa. Whoa. Yep. What else am I forgetting? She just said the hat. Come on. Come on. Come on. Welcome to the house. Welcome to the podcast. Thank you. Thank you. She just said the hat. I like your hat. And it said Ghost Runners. And then she said, I knew you'd pick 14.

That was your volleyball number. Okay. I couldn't remember. Which was also embarrassing because that is why I picked it. Dang it. Yeah, it was like she had 15 envelopes. You pick a number and then she reads a question to you. It is embarrassing to get outed.

Like, I knew you'd pick that. That's what you were in ninth grade volleyball. You're like, yeah, that's why I picked that. That's a bummer. I still cling to that number. Was there anything else previously that made you think that maybe she was a fan or knew me or something? No, that was just it.

Okay, I couldn't remember. So anyway, if you're out there, you know who you are. I haven't said her name yet. Good, don't say it. Yeah. I'll just say it sounds a lot like don't i was trying to think of one uh yeah i messed up with the head then last time so i won't i won't sounds like sarah yeah exactly like sarah it's not sarah it's not sarah anyway it sounds like sra

interesting it's always kind of fun development like is there a chance this girl has just been in class with rachel for how long months and just not said anything how does she know rachel's volleyball number why is she complimenting the hat what's a foot the hat and how big's the foot the hat uh shirt combination is suspect like if it's just like, Hey, cool corduroy hat. Like it's kind of a fun, different kind of style of a hat. Cool. But then to be like, Oh, and I also like your shirt. It's like, you don't just like the colors of these things. Like you you're complimenting this complimenting this for some other reason, maybe a cool volleyball number. And then the volleyball number thing that to me, are you, and I know you're, you're off camera or off microphone,

so you don't have to give a long explanation but like are you confident you've never mentioned anything about your volleyball career i never bring that up no way she never brings it up okay i would never i would never say that i'm so embarrassed i played volleyball for so long um yeah that's that's uh because even if you've listened to this podcast, you didn't know Rachel's number was 14 before right now. I don't think so. Unless...

I mean, maybe if she's in the guillotine league, that would be crazy. If she's like a patron in the fantasy league, sees that Rachel's username is VBallChick14. Right. And is like, I knew it. I knew you'd pick 14. Maybe she's...

What happens if you Google her? Google her. I know, I'm struggling today. I'm doing, what happens if you Google her? Google her. I know, I'm struggling today. I'm doing it too. If you Google Rachel Koop, like, would one of the first things

come up be, yeah, 14, literally, first thing, UNI Athletics, 14 Rachel Koop. So maybe she's just a Googler.

She outed herself and she's looked us all up. She's just stalked everybody. Yeah. Who knows? So. So I put that out there just in case she's listening.

Hey, holler at us. Let us know. Hey, don't be a stranger. Don't? So. So I put that out there just in case she's listening. Hey, holler at us. Let us know. Hey, don't be a stranger. Don't be strangers. Come on. Don't be shy.

That's funny. Rachel, we're wrapping up. Anything else you want us to talk about? Nope. Thanks. You work hard. End it early.

End it early, she says. Get out of here. Just get out of here, you. Bye, Rachel of here, you. Bye, Rachel. Was Catherine what? Yeah, she was here to drop off.

I know. She'll be back soon. I don't know if she'll come back here, but probably. Yeah. Bye, Rachel. What a gal. Well, that's it. Rachel said to end it.

Well. I have a... Sorry. We're skipping ahead here. I have a jingle, but it's not super well prepared. Before we talk about that, do you want to talk about Chike this episode? I would say we should talk about Chike.

Okay, cool. We'll wrap up with that. Chike is back. Chike, Chike. Chike, Chike. I like Chike.com. It's back, but it's not back like all the other times we've Chiked. It's different, dude.

Yes. You understand what I'm saying? It's like, um, let me, let me think of it here. It's like, uh, George Bush. We already had a George Bush president. No, this one's different. Psych, psych. But it is kind of, it is kind of the same.

It's the same delicious flavor, you know, in love, but just a of the same. It's the same delicious flavor you know and love, but just a little bit upgraded. It's like Monsters. Not a war veteran anymore. Right? Monsters University. Sure. Toy Story 2.

Rush Hour 2. Yeah. It's like, you know how like back. Avengers Endgame. You know, back in the day, it was like, man, those Cheerios are delicious. But then you realize like, oh, they're actually not healthy for you like these are. And then you have this new formula of Cheerios, and it's like, they're even healthier for you.

Oh, wow. That tastes a lot like George Bush. I don't even know if this is great analogies. All I know is that Chike has recently come out with naturally sweetened protein coffee. So they still have the old versions of everything. If you love Chike the way it is great, but if you want things just naturally sweetened with something called Reb M it's organic and organic cane sugar. It still only has two. It still only has a two grams of sugar. I believe 20 grams of

non GMO protein, two shots of espresso in these bad boys. I'm talking vanilla lattes, cafe mochas, natural caramel macchiatas. I mean, really good stuff, really high quality ingredients. I was actually just talking pretty in depth with Mac, our Chike guy the other day. And he's like, dude, like, and he's, he's obviously a huge fan of Chike. He's like, these tastes like next level good. And so, yeah, we, yeah, we need to get our hands on some because I'm excited to try them ourselves. But if Max says they're good, I believe him. Yeah, natural line. That's just fun.

I feel like it's just, there's so many just new fun drinks popping up everywhere. Just, hey, live a little. Treat yourself a little bit. Get yourself some new and naturally sweetened trike. Yes. Because guess what? You deserve it. Quick. Get yourself some new and naturally sweetened shank. Yes. Because guess what? You deserve it.

Quick. Hey, just trust me. Quick, quick heavy hitters. 20 grams of protein, 3 grams of sugar. I said two. Zero artificial ingredients. That's nice. And still two shots of espresso?

Oh, big time. Yeah. For now. Ooh. Eyeball emoji. What if I double up? Yeah. So I almost almost triked before this i didn't go home before i came over here but i almost triked it's and you would tell because your

productivity your mood your just overall likability will go up when you have trike so check out trike use code ghost, I believe, for 25% off. Yikes. Chikes. Chikes, mister. Chikes, dude. That's a good deal. So 25% off.

Chike.com. I think even I like Chike.com. If you're a fan of multiple URLs, they redirect. Yeah, they do. They sure do, Jake. They sure freaking do. They sure do, buddy. So get a hold of them. Go nuts redirect. Yeah, they do. They sure do, Jake. They sure do, buddy. So get a hold of them. Go nuts.

All right, Brad, do you have a review of the week that you would like to share? I do. It's about KU, which is fun, even though I went to K-State, but I'm a KU guy. GoJayhawk says, Matty123, I was first introduced to your podcast through my boyfriend. Over time, I began listening to ghost runs on my own and have quickly become hooked.

That's a YouTube one. I am currently listening to your older episodes on my way to and from work every day. Your podcast always puts me in a good mood in the morning and helps me decompress on my way home from work. I teach high school, so sometimes I need something to look forward to after school. While I love your jokes and entertaining stories, I especially love whenever you mention KU. I live in Oregon, but my

grandparents are from Lawrence, so I have been to Kansas many times. My grandpa worked for most of his life at the University of Kansas in various roles, including professor, chancellor, and even athletic director. Whoa. I'm throwing it out there, Matty. Is your grandpa Lou Perkins? Because he was the athletic director when I

was growing up. Oh, Lurkins? Maybe. Hearing you talk about the Jayhawks, Lawrence, or even just Kansas in general always makes me think of him. Puts a smile on my face. Thanks for all you do. Five stars. Nice. Thanks, Maddie. Mine comes from a person named RT Vlogs. The title

of the review says, yeah. Yeah. Just based off that alone, how old is this person, if you had to guess? Yeah, 16. 14. Okay. Oh, timing's kind of taking a shot there. You get one more chance at it.

No, no, sorry. I'm going to give you one more piece of information. My name is Taylon. T-A-Y-L-O-N. Now what age are they? 13. I stand by 14. Okay.

So excited to be a ghostie now. My name is Taylon Roten, and I am a 17-year-old. Dang it. You nailed the generation. I should have stuck with my first one. From a very small town called Folk, I guess. Careful. I'm not even going to make jokes about that.

Jeez. Holy cow, that one surprised me. Get to the end of the sentence. Okay. Yeah. It's F-O-U-K-E. Even if you say Fookie, that's not much better. Oh, man. Okay.

Falk. He's from a small town in Arkansas. Falk. And I am starting my journey to become a pilot. Whoa, no way. You've got to be fucking kidding me. I've been watching Trey for a long time and loved Jake's scenes.

bumped up to a five star. Thank you. Honestly, great strategy for everyone accidentally writing us not five stars. It's really nice. That's how Rendell Weaver started. Because we're like, well, we've got to read this guy's review so he knows to up it. He didn't say anything negative about our podcast.

Therefore, whatever. It's meant to be five stars, I think. Brad, would you like to end this episode with a jingle? Let's try it. Let's try it. Let's try it. Okay. Let's try it. Okay.

You know what? I haven't seen this. Before we try it, let me do this on my new MacBook where I put the real lyrics next to the existing lyrics. I think that'll help me. Do what you got to do. Do you have the instrumental, Tymon? I do not.
