Happy Monday, Ghosties. Happy Monday, Jake. It's another great week to be listening to this podcast. Brad, this past weekend, I was performing, and one day I was in Key West, Florida. Okay. Never been to Key West, Florida, and just making small talk with a woman at the venue. And here's what I'll say, just kind of a spoiler. As bad as you claim to be with dates, I don't know when that-

No claiming. It's true. Okay. As bad as you are with dates, not knowing don't know when no claiming it's true okay okay as bad as you are yeah with dates not knowing if something happened three weeks ago or six months ago not knowing anybody's you know birthday and stuff like that um i would dare to say this woman is maybe worse with numbers so we're just small talk i've never been to key west before oh yeah you should try this you know for coffee this and i like, how many people live here?

And she was like, how many people live here? Live here. Define live, because there's people that are inhabited here. Already, I'm like, this is taking longer than I was hoping it would go. Just making small talk, just looking for just an average ballpark. I'm trying to think. I know like 15 years ago, we – Yeah. Like the census was in 2020, so it's been like –

But COVID, I don't know if everyone really – Okay. Assume we probably inflated the rates by at least 7.5% since then. So it's a lot of this, a lot of her talking out loud. And then eventually her answer is, I got to go with, I can't even say a number. You can't say something. No number at all.

Just no number. Okay. Isaac was there too. We're like, no worries. It's all good. Do you feel like that was worth the conversation? It's just so funny that she, I mean, this is a woman that does not need to be on any type of high stakes game show.

Right, right. It's like, all right, what do you think? Deal or no deal? Do I have to choose between those two? I'm just, I'm not going to play. Can I do a partial deal? Can I do minority owner? I don't know.

I don't want to have to decide. You know what? Now that I'm thinking about it, yeah, just... She starts backing away. Just give it to somebody. Double it. Give it to the next person. I made a huge mistake.

I made a huge mistake. I don't know. Eventually, yeah, she just didn't want to say a number. I feel like we're very friendly. It was not like, please, I have a gun to her head. Please tell me the population here. I mean, yeah, just make up a number. I feel like we're very friendly. It was not like, please, I have a gun to her head. Please tell me the population here. I mean, yeah, just make up a number. I won't even know.

You would never know. Honestly, it would have helped had I known any kind of figure because then later that night, I'm doing crowd work with someone. Hey, what part of town are you from? She's like, Key West. I was like, okay, so now I'm learning there's no suburbs. Yes, it's pretty much all Key West. Okay, it's just the island here.

Key West only, yeah. You know what? Had I looked at a map before this, I probably would have suburbs. Yes, it's pretty much all Key West. Okay, it's just the island here. Key West only, yeah. You know what? Had I looked at a map before this, I probably would have known that. Is it a pretty big place? Yeah, I mean, it's anywhere between like 300,000 and 4 million. I'm not really sure exactly, but I'll give you a ballpark number.

It's like, oh, thank you. At least we get somewhere here. It's like somehow that woman finds her way into the crowd. I'm doing crowd work right there. And what part of town are you from? Oh, boy. Didn't know you were going to ask that. I'm doing crowd work right there. And what part of town are you from? Oh, boy. Didn't know you were going to ask that. I mean, our street...

It's north of Deval. It's a long street, though, so you wouldn't even know, like, if I said the street, you wouldn't really understand that. You know, we're 90 miles from Cuba. I don't know. Should I just say Cuba? No. I made a huge mistake.

I made a huge mistake. Uh-oh. I don't know. Should I just say cute? No. I made a huge mistake. I made a huge mistake. I don't know. 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 because it's the Ghost Rubs Podcast. Ghost Rubs Podcast. Everybody morning we're back. Happy Monday. Yep. This is episode 272. 272. That's a good amount.

We got a good vibe today. Tymon's in a graphic Magic School Bus hoodie, which I really like. Yeah. Thank you. Tymon, we gotta get him on. We gotta get the Patreon numbers up a little bit more. We're trying to make more consistent money on the podcast. If we get the Patreon numbers up a little bit more,

we'll get Tymon his own camera. I assume Tymon, you know, in his own head was like, hey, if I come into this podcast, I would do a really good job for six months. Maybe we'll get me the camera. Right. That didn't do it. He's like, now I got to start dressing nicer. Maybe that'll work. He brought his own new monitor in, so maybe if we just

ice him out long enough, he'll just bring his own camera. Yeah, he'll just bring in all of his own gear. I mean, you own a camera, Tymon. You could bring it, right? Just every single time, just pack up my camera, set it back up. Yeah, Tymon just selfies it whenever he's about to talk. Edit that in later. It's not connected to any of our systems.

Anyway, yeah, and we got a guest. He's not really in the studio, but he's in the walls of the studio. I can kind of see the guest. See the little toe head over there? Yeah, we got Bo Ellis in the living room. In the living room, hanging out on the air mattress that Jake blew up for him. Probably five minutes before we were going to get ready to get in here and get going, Catherine calls me and she's like, hey, just woke Bo up this morning and he got sick last night

and he's not feeling good and we have our co-op this morning. Can he just come? You can say no. She's like, you can say no, but can he just like come stay with you guys? I'm like, I don't think I can say no. I shouldn't say no. I don't whatever. Just put them in front of a screen for the next two hours and no problem.

But yeah. Is that how long he's going to be here? Cause Rachel was like thinking about like leaving work early. Honestly, that'd be a huge thing because I don't love him being in front of the screen forever, but yeah, I don't know. I don't know how long, I mean, Catherine's gone until noon or more. I think that's when Rachel was able to get back as well. Yeah, maybe 12, 1230.

So, yeah, he's hanging out watching Curious George, just having the time of his life. Let's be real. I think he might be playing her a little bit. You think so? Like, I think, yeah, yesterday, obviously, he got sick. Like, there was visual evidence. But this morning, he seemed fine.

But I think he's like, wait a second. I could not go to school and hang out and watch Curious George by myself. I could watch the TV if I'm sick. Right. Yeah. Did you ever skip school fakely? I don't think so. I think I always liked school.

Good for you. I'm trying to remember. I mean, there was probably mornings when I was little where I was just like, not that I don't want to go to school, but my bed feels so good right now. Yeah. It's like, for some reason, just like thinking like, if I go back to sleep really hard,

maybe my mom will just let me. I didn't even have an alibi. It was just like, I'll just go back to sleep. Just see what happens if I act like I don't know what's going on right now. Yeah. I think that was my best like attempt. What about you? Yeah. I think that was my best like attempt. What about you?

Yeah. I mean, it was always calculated for me cause I did not like missing like classes that were important. So if anything, I was like, maybe if I like, I think I have weights first hour.

What if I just get there late? Yeah. English. I think it's just like a steady haul day. Like I bet if I just, yeah, maybe, you know,

but my, my mom was not about it. Like she was like, like unless I I was like, actually, definitely sick. No way. Not that she wasn't sweet, but she just was like, no, you're not sick. You can't just miss. Yeah. So didn't really miss too much.

But every once in a while, I can kind of remember myself thinking like, should I be sick? Should I be sick today? Like, it's been a while. You go look in the mirror. I feel like you get, you know, it's kind of like snow days where you get like a few built in before it's like, okay, you got to start making them up. Like, it's like, okay, I feel like I was sick, like maybe four or five months ago. I could be sick today. Yeah. It's like, you have one of those signs in your bedroom. It's like, you know, 270 days since last nonsense since last, uh, you

know, what do they do? Um, whateverishap. Since last puke. Yes. So that's why I'm like, I deserve one. It's like, should I fight through this? Nah, I'm just going to feel bad today. You know? Yeah. So, but I did not like making up because I'm not very good at teaching myself, like in school, like going back to the book and trying to learn, especially math.

I was so, like anytime I didn't really understand the concept, I had to go back to the math book and look at it and be like, what's going on? Yeah. That doesn't seem like the way to learn math. That sounds brutal. Right. You have to just get reverse engineered from a textbook. Yeah.

If they give me like a very similar example problem, sure, I can figure out the patterns. But if it's like, here's the main general concept. Figure it out for these 25 problems. Odds that weren't even in the back of the book. You know? Odds. Speaking of your mom, it was good to hear from her. Yesterday, we called, maybe two days ago, we were trying to call your dad for the sports football podcast,

also on quarterback, available exclusively on patreon.com. Yep. Went to call your dad, and you dialed your mom's number. Yeah. So we got to talk to both. Yeah, it was fun. It was fun. Got a double dose of the Ellis parents there. Yeah, your mom's a fun gal. So we got to talk to both. Yeah, it was fun. It was fun. Got a double dose of the Ellis parents there.

Yeah, your mom's a fun gal. She's a hoot, man. Yeah. She's definitely the funnier of the couple of them, but also the one that would, if I asked her, I think she'd say, yeah, sure, I'll come and interview with you guys, but I don't think she has a strong desire to. Really?

She's just, I feel like that's probably how your mom is too, right? Like, it's like, yeah, of course I'll talk to somebody if they want me to, but they're very content just being there with their husbands and letting their husbands, you know, be the talkative ones. Ephesians 5, that's right. That's what it talks about. But yeah, let's see. This week, I was in Florida and came back.

Where were you? Kansas and didn't come Where were you? Kansas. And it didn't come back. So I never left. And don't come back. Timon, where were you? I went to Missouri at one point.

Also Kansas, Kansas, Missouri. I'm sure. Yeah. Let's see. Yeah, definitely.

People not from Kansas City have such a hard time conceptualizing. Like, is it Kansas City kind of near Missouri? And it's like, no, it's like, it's true. Like the city is is split like I go back and forth every day yeah yeah really it's like yeah I don't know what to tell you there's a lot of people on both a lot of businesses on both like how many people on both do you think like what what population in Missouri what

population in Kansas I'm trying to think when there was the Royals parade I know there was like I'm trying to think how much bigger it the Royals Parade, I know there was like... I'm trying to think how much bigger it is in Stratford. Stratford had... Two stoplights there and there's like... How many stoplights? Figure out the people first and then figure out the stoplights. Are there more windows or doors

in the world? I'm getting off track. Honestly, I can't even say. I don't know. That's okay. I'll ask you later. Isn't that crazy? Just even to say a number after it'd be one thing to be like oh i have no idea and it's like okay like if you immediately answer that way fine but if you're like let me let me calculate this out for about 45 seconds to where like the like basically 10 seconds in you're like i regret asking you at all and then 45 seconds, you're like, I regret asking you at all. And then 45 seconds later, you're like, you know what?

I'm not even going to give you an estimate. That could be a thing. Maybe we come back next week with like a list of these, but Rachel and I were trying to talk recently about like, like people love time and age. Love to talk about X, right? Like you get the egg for a girl,

for a guy. I haven't, I haven't seen people talk about like a friendship. Ick. So maybe we should like, friendship, friendship, for a guy. I would see people talk about like a friendship ick. Friendshick. Friendshicks. So maybe that's one. Like you ask a very easy question and they like treat it like it's the million dollar

question on who wants to be a millionaire. Can I call my dad and ask him what I was like when I was six? Like, oh, okay. I just thought it'd be like a fun, like I was outgoing answer. I was really shy. I clung to my mom's leg the whole time. Cool.

First day of kindergarten. Oh, okay, cool. Me too. Let's talk about that more. Like, let's go into that. Like, let's not. Oh man, what was I? Do you guys eat out often?

Well, okay. Let me look up WebsterDictionary.com definition of often. I feel like I can tend to be that way yeah honestly i think me and brad both are also that way too we get i have tendencies of that katherine definitely does where she's like well i mean technically it wasn't that well i feel like i have to give the right i want to give a good answer yeah yeah i can't just like say the first thing because i'm like well that not that might not be exactly what they're looking for. And you got to find a balance because I think if you literally are just like, you know, what were you like as a six-year-old? And you're like, I was pretty shy. Good conversation. Like, nice. Like it is nice to like explain it a little bit more. Like it

doesn't have to be like black and white, shy or outgoing. It can be like, I was shy, but you know, I had this tendency and I remember when know, whatever, like that's conversation. That's my flaw is elongating the answer too much. Like I, I am giving them an answer, but I, I gave them way more than they probably need. Yes. I feel that too sometimes. Yeah. But, um, one of the French checks that I was thinking of recently is when someone, instead of saying like, just their car, or I i'm gonna go hop in the car when they like say the like brand name or their car like oh okay well i'll just have my wife pull up the mercedes then okay well does it have to be like a nice car i think it usually is too like okay we'll go grab the uh we'll grab the lexus then and we'll just meet you guys there let's let's take the tahoe

i think we should take a tahoe tonight. It's like, all right. Yeah. You're never doing like, hey, let's take the Hyundai. Like, no one says that, you know? Hey, I think we should just take the, you know, 2004 Kia. Stratus. Yeah. I'll get the Stratus.

I'll meet you in the Stratus. 2014 town and country. That's right. You say the year. Dude, Bo was shook. And I don't use that word lightly. No, you do not lightly but Gen Z people understand Beau was shook when he saw that

Mr. Timon's car was now a truck this morning whose truck is that? Mr. Timon's he doesn't drive that because they know everything about the house across the street anything that happens in eyesight of the window

they're pretty up to date on Mr. Tim's over there mr time is there like yeah i know but that is good that they're so up to date but they're kind of like um you know we're shy labeef in dysterbia when he had house arrest yes so all they could do is just look at the neighbors that's what your kids are doing right that's exactly right yeah they would have binoculars if they could yeah i need to find it like a nice young asian to be some comedic relief oh yeah ronnie yeah good ronnie good memory dude i love that it was good had it on dvd you ever seen a time in i know pretty fun yeah disturbia shia labeouf shia labeouf gets uh on house arrest because he punches a kid in school. Yeah. Spoiler alert. First five minutes.

Quizas. Great scene. Yeah. And so he punches a kid. Has to be on house arrest for a while. While on house arrest, he notices some pretty shady things in the neighborhood. Some interesting hijinks going on. I don't think that guy should be doing that. Late at night. How'd he fix his car so fast? Also, it works out he has

quite the bedroom. I mean, he can see all four, 360 degree windows. He's got a New York City loft in his bedroom. Yeah, so that worked out. Also happens to be neighbors with a girl who at the time I thought was Blake Lively. Turns out, not Blake Lively. Did not end up having the career that Blake Lively had.

But practically the same back then. Yeah, save on hair, yeah. Babe, babe alone. Watch it with a friend. Watch it Babe alert. Watch it with a friend. Watch it with Zach. Watch it with a friend. What is that? What is that?

Accountability. Oh, okay. I thought it was like... Don't be rewinding that scene too many times. I thought it was like, in case maybe you're on the fence, your friend will be there like, yeah, she is hot.

Yeah, I see it now. Oh, yeah. Of course. Watch it with a bunch of dudes yeah they'll tell you have all your bros over watch it with your dad he'll tell you you can watch it with your dad it's not that inappropriate yeah i remember like at the time it was like maybe it was just the age i was at i think we were middle of high school maybe late high school and it was like this is the first like thrill good thriller i've ever seen yeah

because it wasn't a horror movie. I don't want horror, but I would love thrill. Give me thrill. I'll take one out of every five. Let me think. One out of every six. I can't answer that, but I'll take a thriller every now and then.

Okay, I don't want to. I regret bringing up fractions. I don't want to commit to a number. That's a funny character piece. That would be a great character for an entire movie or a long-running TV show. Just a person who's just nervous to ever say a concrete number. Well, I don't want to steer you the wrong way with this.

I haven't seen you since... Actually, I don't want to... It's been a while. I don't want to say it. But good to see you. It has been a minute. It would be interesting to kind of break down like, hey, are the accountants of the world a lot more likely?

Because the accountants just deal with facts. They can't mess up. It's either this or this. Like, yeah, if you have this much on your tax bracket, you owe this much money, no doubt. Whereas like creative guys, I bet they can just throw things around. No problem. So I wonder if like the accountants of the world,

the lawyers of the world, if they're more like they have a hard time not giving complete facts. Yeah, committing to it. So I don't have any, I need to think of some friendship icks though. I'll just think about things that annoy me about you. Perfect.

Like very passive aggressive. Like, oh, your neighbor across the street when he owns a tesla and you own a 2003 chevy and he says let's take the tesla never have i ever never have i will ever ever will in future um anyway uh i had some good rancher's chicken recently. Yee. It was not bad. I'm trying to get healthier. It's like I, you know, basically since 2 August ago, I have done a good job cutting out like added sugar. I'm still, you know, sipping on the Propel. We're getting zeved up, yada, yada.

But occasionally we'll toss in some sugar. I was like, all right, I need to get better again. So I was like, Rachel, let's make some good meals. We had Brussels sprouts and chicken. I was like, don't, I need to get better again. So I was like, Rachel, let's make some good meals. We had Brussels sprouts and chicken. I was like, don't even, no pasta. I don't need those extra carbs. I was like, just give me just straight up good rancher's chicken. And?

Nice. Nice, dude. It's just nice. Yeah. I just picked out some seasoning from Price Chopper. Okay. Threw that on there. You did?

Rachel had some other stuff. Yeah? Good for you. Yeah, we went grocery shopping together. Rachel and I are just doing, we're in just a lot of just best friend mode right now. We're doing everything together. We're going to watch high school volleyball. We're grocery shopping, one-on-one pickleball.

But anyway, the Good Rancher's chicken just by itself was such a good meal. Yeah, I had some pork from them recently. It was taco skillet night. So the kids had ground beef taco skillet, but I had been waiting to eat these bratwurst for a long time. I kept waiting for like a good moment where it was like, I can have some buddies over for a chief's game. Haven't had them over.

Yeah. And so I'm like, I'm eating these brats myself. How were they? Dude, of course. What do you think they were? They were incredible. They were something else. They were something else. If you had to put out of 100, how good were they? 100. I'm not even going to play that character game on this. 100 out of 100. That's the thing. Even people that aren't good with ranking things, aren't good with numbers,

they would know Good Ranchers is an A+. That's right. Which is a great number. You can get top-notch, Americanmade meat at goodranchers.com. It all comes from Estados Unidos. Yep. All comes from right here in the United States. And GRKC is a promo code to get $25 off your box.

That's right. Jake, I never thought I'd say this, but I'm officially a cheer dad. Tell me about it. Do we get TLC down here? Yeah. Crazy cheer dads? No, it's like the most homeschooled cheer dad move of all time.

Really? So have you heard of Upward? Loved it. Actually, no, I did not love Upward. No? I'm familiar with Upward. You've heard of it? No, just because I was...

I just developed a little quicker than most kids and upward is very much of like every it's like a communist like um basketball regime it really is everyone played the exact same amount of minutes i mean my coach was like on pen and paper like all right three two one jake go in like it was down to the second yes everyone played the exact same amount kind of a when you were like a second grader really into basketball, it's not great. You were analyzing and like, yeah, trying to be like statistical and like, I know what our score is, even though they're not keeping it on the thing. Yeah, they're not keeping score.

Yeah. I think my parents just didn't really know what it was. Like, hey, this Christian basketball thing. Sure, yeah. We just put Jake in that. And they're like, alright, this is probably not for Jake, but it is great for a lot of people. Yeah, so our church league does, our church does a basketball league for Upward. And yeah, from what I understand, like they have tryouts and then they even put the, the information, like the stats of these kids into an algorithm to try to make the teams as fair as possible. And then, Whoa. Yeah. And then listen to this. And then

each kid gets their own like color coded armband and they have to guard the other person that has that armband, AKA the other person on other person that has that armband aka the other person on the other team that's your skill level so communist yeah very interesting like it's like you can't just stack the teams and whoop everybody um man the arm I'm sure that you can like suggest like hey I would like to be on like Jake and Brad want to be on the same team so even though the two they're the two best players in the league we'll put them on the same team but they have to be in different rotations maybe or something like that yeah so do they have any like uh no i don't want to bring that up um so they're rating these like first

graders and like you are a c plus first grader i think it's very very like yeah very simple i think they literally i think they do two or three shots and they calculate how many shots they make out of three shots and then take like how many shots they make out of three shots. How long does it take you to dribble down 10 feet with your left hand or your right hand or something? Hope you're not having a rough day. Or maybe you do want to have a rough day. Maybe you want to sandbag a little bit.

Get that white-pink wristband. Then you get to guard the worst player on the team. All I have to say, Hattie did not want to play basketball as much as I wanted her to, as much as I would have loved to coach her in that. Yeah. And I'm still like holding out hope that she will eventually. If not,

Bo, if you're out there listening, bud, play some basketball. But we did convince her slash Catherine kind of just forced her like, she's going to do cheerleading at least. Cool.

And so literally we're going to go, not only have to watch first grade girls basketball games, but in between we get to watch first grade girls cheerleading. Fun. So she likes gymnastics though. She likes gymnastics. I think she'll be fine at cheerleading. It's just,

yeah. Um, I just, I love sports for like the com or like the sportsmanship teamwork aspect of it. And I don't know what that's going to be like in cheerleading, but we went for the first like sign up night. It doesn't start till January, but you get signed up and we learned to cheer, you know, and I, I'm already into it. Like as we were leaving, I was doing the cheer and he's like, dad, how do you know that cheer? So I was like,

if I'm going to be in this thing, I'm going to be in, I'm going to be doing it with you on the sidelines. Like kind of mouthing it to yourself because Because it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E. Awesome. Awesome. Our team is awesome. That's a good one. I was going nuts. They're like, all right, let's see if the parents can do it louder than the kids.

Ready? Oh, you bet I will. A-W-E-S-O-M-E. Awesome. Awesome. Our team is awesome. A-W-A S-O-M-E Awesome! Awesome! Our team is awesome! Let's go upward! Let's go commies!

Come on, comms! Did any of the other parents get into it? Yeah, some of the moms were there getting into it. The one thing that I did have, this is such a group dynamic frustration with me, is we were meeting down with all these other cheerleading people and all the kids and the moms, and this one woman who, let's just be real,

women don't have as loud of voices as men, and so it's harder for them to get the attention of a crowd. And she was doing a good job. She's like, everyone, please be quiet. Please be quiet. One, two, three, eyes on me. And she got everyone pretty quiet and she was talking. But then every minute or less,

she would say something that was purposely trying to elicit a cheer from people. Oh, yeah. You got to choose. Do I want their silence or do I want them to cheer? No, especially with a bunch of people that are signing their kids up for cheerleading. We're ragamuffins.

Yeah. We got Miss Bethany over here. A-W-E. Be quiet. Everyone, please have some respect. It's like three seconds after she was like, wait, what if I did that? Like, give it up for Jake Triplett. Sits in Addy. How we doing? Hey, hey, hey, hey if I did that? Like, give it up for Jake Triplett.

Cincinnati, how we doing? Hey, hey, hey, hey. It's a comedy show. Can I get some respect, please? So you can actually hear the jokes. Can we just like be like respectful humans for a little bit? Yeah, that's what it would be like. Right?

So is that what she was doing? She was like, give it up for our assistant coach. It wasn't that extreme, but she would definitely be asking, as she's talking, asking for a response through cheers. And who's excited for next week's practice? Yeah. Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so anyway, as we're talking.

Guys, please quiet down. This is important to hear. This is important to hear. It's like, okay, well, then just say all the important stuff really fast. So it was ridiculous. Have you made any other Dance Dad friends or Dance Mom friends? I was one of like three in there. It was all women and me. Hey, bring a friend.

It's the Disturbia method. One of the guys was like right next to me. I didn't even say a word to the guy. Why not? I don't know. I think I was trying to be respectful and quiet, I guess Hey, bring a friend. And you know what? One of the guys was like right next to me. I didn't even say a word to the guy. Why not? I don't know. I was trying to be respectful and quiet, I guess. I don't know. I was just, I'm so like sensitive to like, if somebody's trying to talk and they're like,

you know, cause I think some people just aren't good at, or not very comfortable doing that. I was really nervous about making this speech in front of all these people. Like, okay, if you're nervous, whatever. i don't know if she was nervous but i'm like i'm going to listen and respond like verbally physically like okay yeah yeah yeah as much as i can so i don't want to be like hey man what's up with this thing you know to this guy i think you should try and start to like plant something among the cheer parents i'm not sure what yet but i think it'd be fun to plant some, maybe just plant some doubt in the leadership abilities

of the coach and try to like kind of start like a coup that you should be the coach. Well, guys can't coach. First year, I learned. Ooh, you got to bring a friend. You got to bring Zach.

Zach? I don't know. Oh, Zach. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, bring Zach with me and maybe I could. Interesting. But I will say I kind of want the goal to be during the timeouts,

because there's two courts going the whole time, and so there's a little partition, and I want the people on the other side of the partition to be like, what's going on over there? Yeah, that's not fun. What are they doing? It's like everything is kind of a conspiracy theory nowadays. You can't just accept some good news in the world.

Then the next day on Twitter, you see something like, well, you know, they did this, right? This is the, she's a plant. Oh, he's a plant or whatever. There's always, I think you start planting not any kind of specific conspiracy theory, but just kind of under your breath. Just like, yeah. Can you believe this? Well, you heard about like why they're doing it, right? Yeah. You know why they're doing these cheers in this order, right? Yeah. Can you believe this? Well, you heard about why they're doing it, right?

Yeah. You know why they're doing these cheers in this order, right? Yeah. Think about the first word they say in each of these cheers. Just think about it. Get back. I mean, if you don't know, then I'm not going to tell you. But just think about it.

Yeah. Are you on Cheer Dad Reddit? No? Okay. Never mind. I was going to ask you about okay never mind you don't do upward cheer.org no okay all right well don't it's not gonna work on your phone so um what i was gonna offer you or what i was gonna bring up yeah you can't you have to do it from a computer

yeah well you know why they give them lollipops right beforehand right i don't know you tell me what did i see dang it i saw someone on twitter today and i was just so tired of everything being a conspiracy theory but whatever i mean yeah truly though like especially food these days like talk to me food is just no matter what name of food and i can tell you like yeah there's like water like water there's there's good and better kinds of water you know know what I mean? I see what you're saying. Yeah, alkaline.

How do we feel about it? Yeah, like people are like having opinions on everything these days. And it's just a little exhausting. And so that's the nice thing about being married is I just let Catherine choose everything like that for me. Peanut butter is peanut butter. Great. Get whatever you want.

That's fine. Yeah, it doesn't taste that different to me you made those pancakes great it tastes good with the peanut butter dude Rachel found some kind of bread I don't doubt that it's existed for over 80 years you're getting there

brand new to me honestly I grew up on white bread and white bread alone here's the types of bread I know about. White, wheat, and I think some kind of halves-y, some kind of hybrid. Like honey wheat. Yes, honey wheat. Honey wheat was like the people that thought they were eating healthy, but it really was

just white bread that was brown looking. Yes. It was the Patrick Mahomes of bread. Yes. Derek Jeter. Yeah. I kid you not, I don't know any other types of bread other than that. Maybe once you tell them to me, they'll be like. Come on, Jake Sourdough. Oh, sorry. I was. Okay.eter. Yeah. I kid you not, I don't know any other types of bread other than that. Maybe once you tell them to me, they'll be like.

Come on, Jake, sourdough. Oh, sorry. I was. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Rye. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, but even then, though, it's like, I don't know. Can you buy those in a bag? Like, does Wonder Bread make rye? I don't know. I feel like Wonder Bread's just white, white on white.

See, and that's kind of what I'm saying. That's all I know. I stay in my lane. Okay. The white bread. That's all. So maybe this has been around for a while. See, and that's kind of what I'm saying. That's all I know. I stay in my lane with the white bread. That's all. So maybe just sit around for a while. You can't buy sourdough bread, I believe. I thought you needed like a 150-year-old matriarch of your family to pass down a starter.

Hey, Sarah Lee. How old do you think Sarah Lee is? You know? Old. Old lady. Yeah. She started way back in the day. Here's what I just discovered via Rachel.

Maple streusel bread. Okay. I didn't know we were putting flavors into bread. Oh,'s what I just discovered via Rachel. Maple streusel bread. Okay. I didn't know we were putting flavors into bread. Oh, brother. I thought it was unhealthy, healthy bread. Oh, brother. This opened my eyes. We can just put flavor into bread.

Try yourself some cinnamon streusel, dude. That's probably even better. It's like a cinnamon roll. It's like a cinnamon roll in every slice. It's like Rachel made French toast with it, which was amazing. It was amazing. But also, I don't even know if you need the French toast. I think you just throw some butter on there, and it's basically French toast.

Just toast it and put some syrup on there. You're good. It's already. Yeah. Oh, it's amazing. Dude, okay. You want to get real extra? Knock it.

You want to go from being like, okay, I like the Hanes shirts, and now I like the old Navy shirts, but now I'm going built. Now I'm going rollback, GRKC 20. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, look up Strawberry Hill Povatitsa bread, dude. Povatitsa bread. I need a friend to look this up with me. There's this place in Kansas City, Strawberry Hill. Titsa.

I guarantee you right now, Scott is listening and nodding his head vigorously. Because Scott appreciates. Dude, you buy the- How do you spell pova tizza? I think it's P-O-V-I-T-I-S or Z-A maybe. Yeah, pova tizza. Pova tizza. But you buy it.

First of all, I think it's crazy expensive like it's is it slavic does that sound right sound povacits come on gotta be you idiot well of course uh you buy i mean it's like a gift bread but but you you're just like people can't afford to buy this on a regular i think it's like 25 for a loaf of this yeah like godiva chocolate i've only seen it gifted never just seen it in someone's pantry before. No, way nicer than Godiva. Godiva. Oh, yeah. I was thinking it was Slavic. It's Polish. Yeah, Swiss.

I don't know. I don't know. Dude, and it's like, I guarantee you this thing minimum, eight pounds, minimum. Just a big old brick of loaf of bread. You ever heard of it, Tymon? You ever had some? I don't think so.

Dude, it's got all sorts of flavors, and it is wild. I'm looking up pictures, and whoa. What do you got? Tell us some flavors. Swirly layers of stuff. Oh, it looks like the inside of a tree. Yeah. It looks like you can see how old the bread is.

Exactly. So if you have a Sara Lee starter, it's like way tighter rings on it. A lot of rings. Yeah. That does like high end. Anyway, yeah, maybe we should get them as a sponsor eventually. But for now, just know that I like them. Strawberry Hill.

Yeah, it's one of those things. I feel like we've sent it to Catherine's grandma before like as a gift, you know. For the people that have everything, you know. Ty, what kind of bread bread you breading these days? Very basic. Same. Occasionally we get this like cinnamon. It might be called cinnamon swirl bread.

Yeah. I bet that's good. And that's like really good. Yep. That's, that's the good stuff. That's like, it just needs to be toasted with butter and it's just like,

just like a dessert. Top notch. Yeah. I've been like trying to intermittent fast most mornings, but then sometimes when the kids, when Catherine makes the kids the cinnamon streusel bread. Once it gets in your nose, it's hard to not put it in your mouth.

Like it. Yeah. It's seriously though. It's so hard. So we use Dave's killer bread. You ever heard of that? Yes. It's good stuff.

I think we've had that before too. They call it that I think because they employ ex-convicts, like people from prison. Yes, exclusively? I don't know about exclusively. Is that actually true? Yeah. Because when you said Dave's Killer Bread in my head,

I was thinking, what a bad name for a bread company. I can't believe that's worked out for them. They're leaning into it. Dave's Killer. Yeah, I don't. Okay. Is it Dave's Bread, which is like killer? Or is it like Dave's Killer which is like killer or is it like dave's killer is

making the bread double meaning or dave's killer yeah dave's not alive anymore yeah yeah dave is deceased yeah uh dave's murderer dave's murdered bread um speaking of treating yourself to pretty nice things you know yeah go diva yeah strawberry hill lavarita bread what about cozy earth what about it dude what about cozy earth bed sheets what about cozy earth t-shirts what about cozy earth joggers what about cozy earth hoodies dude you haven't even said my favorite thing i've had from cozy what about cozy earth bath towels the bath towels are we we just got some recently and they are amazing. Yeah. It's one of those things where it's like, I'm definitely growing up.

So I'm forming opinions about things I didn't think I was going to have. That's kind of the fun part about it though. But my gosh, I'd never thought that bath towels made that big of a difference until you get the cozy earth ones. I need to bust them open. Dude, you're never going to go back. Because right now, yeah, you're right. Right now I'm ignorant. Right now I am living a life of sin,

and I think a towel's a towel. Yep. And my eyes have not been opened. A towel's a towel, guys. These towels, A, they're huge. They're like the queen-size beds of towels. That's nice. And they are thick.

One side is like more absorbent than the other. The other is like quicker drying, I think. Oh. It is something to behold that might be nice rachel i should test that we have learned we have very different ways of drying off oh yeah like like i think rachel just if you're a woman you don't have as much like hair all over your legs and your body yeah so she just like will get out of the shower and just like wrap a towel around and she's like kind of just done drying off kind of air dried she's like lets it like

seep into the towel as she walks around perfect that is not my experience drying off in the shower at all you're like kneading it out of your you're like you're like sponging it out yeah it's crazy and what i do to my hair i mean that's like the inverse for women yeah they're like oh i could never do that i can't rub my head. And I'm like, well, it's never going to dry if I don't. Anyway, yeah, I have been really just living in cozy earth clothes recently. Yeah. I have one pair of joggers and one hoodie, and I wear them a lot, especially just like I even had the thought. I'm not kidding.

Last week I was flying to West Palm Beach. It was a long travel day. It's like two hours to Atlanta, hour layover. Then there I was flying to West Palm Beach and it was a long travel day. It's like two hours to Atlanta, hour layover, then there are two hours to West Palm, which is a long time. And I had the thought on the plane, not realizing that I was wearing cozy earth, truly. Like you kind of forget what you're in.

Sure. And I had the thought of like, I feel shockingly cozy for an airplane right now. Like I just feel so cozy. And I was like, oh, of course I'm wearing cozy earth really to happen i promise i promise handle the bible that really did happen so um yeah their clothes are not as like you know affordable maybe as some of the clothes you used to buying but i promise like if you want to treat yourself if you want to treat someone else like they will be so satisfied with their stuff. And

of course they have bed sheets too. And of course it's really not that much of a splurge because you're getting 35% off. 35% off is wild, which is crazy. Uh, sorry. I just can't say enough. It's just so good. Tommy, will you tell me, will you just read, uh, the text that Jake triplets sent me and tell me, tell us when it was and Okay. And what the text says. It says Thursday, 9 53 AM.

If I turn mine on, will yours go on? Or is it vice versa? Yes. Oh, thank you. Boom. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Oh, I got to show my hair now. Got the hair line let's see um let me tell you a little bit about um this past week performing yes please get to west palm and uh what do you know about west palm you know what i just realized i should probably go check and make sure bo hasn't peed on your air mattress. Okay. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, just a second. Tymon, what do you know about West Palm? Not much. Well, I'll tell you. It's on the east side of the state, so that's always confused me. Oh, interesting.

Yeah, yeah. Far east side of Florida. I don't know why they call it West Palm because I think there is another Palm Beach that West Palm Beach is north of. So someone just figure out for me why it's called West Palm Beach. But nice town. When I've been there previously, it's been really fancy. I feel like I drove past a lot of nice car dealerships. I went there a couple years ago for... Actually, I don't want to say that.

I'm going to bring it up later. Good thing Brad wasn't here. But I think it is a very Republican area. Interesting. And how I know this is because across the street from our venue and also in the hotel we're staying in, there was a Trump rally going on. So we were having to like – we still sold like 1,200 tickets, and we were competing against Trump in Florida at the same time on the same street. Trey's incredible. He's an incredible guy. He's an incredible. Trey's incredible. He's incredible guy.

He's incredible guy. Brad's back. He's making it. He's making it big. He's got that. He's got that orange haired guy with him. He's funny fellow, funny fellow. Dude, it was funny.

Like just the conversations we would have in the green room of like, you know, obviously like I've seen firsthand my friends who like had opportunities to go golf with Trump. And it's like, I want to post the picture the picture and you just get reamed in the comments so it's like we were talking like trey like if trump liked you and like wanted to hang out with you one would you go and two like because i think we're on the same page like you can't post about it it's just too polarizing you can't post about it but we were like what if like you get there and you realize like you were supposed to like what would you do you were supposed to post about yeah like but we were like, what if like you get there and you realize like you were supposed to, like, what would you do?

You were supposed to post about it? Yeah. Like he, he brought you in cause he wanted you like, wanted your like endorsement. Like, what do you do? How do you navigate that?

We were also thinking like, Trey's like, you know, he's trying to figure this out. And he's like, Oh, this is stupid. Like,

why are we even like entertaining this? It doesn't matter. And then we were like, dude, I bet if we, if somehow we told someone to tell someone who knows Donald Trump, like, Hey, across the street right now, there is an Oklahoma clean Christian comedian. It doesn't seem that far fetched that Trump would like try to bring him

in and be like, Hey, this is my guy. I want to like meet him. Wonderful people. The Oklahomans, they always vote red. Love Tulsa. Great place, Tulsa. Edmond, great place to grow. Great place. Thunder. Thunder. Feel the lightning and the thunder. Imagine Dragons, anybody? Huh?

Yeah. I love 2 Corinthians. This guy's great. This guy reads his Bible just like me. 2 Corinthians. 3 John. Right? Okay a great. This guy reads his Bible just like me. Two Corinthians. Three John. Right? Okay. Yeah.

I mean, I would say yes to hanging out with any president ever. That's the thing. I think you have to. Who cares? I have opinions about which ones I like more than others, but it's the president of the United States. There's only been 38 of them. How many? Gosh.

What is it like? I don't know how many. I don't know. A hundred? Gosh. What is it like? I don't know how many. Well, it's Franklin's on the $100 bill because I know he was the 100th. So it's at least 100. Lincoln was the 16th, which is why he was on the $5.

Well, okay, the ratio is weird there. It was a multiplier. It's like Celsius to Fahrenheit kind of thing. Like sometimes they are both zero. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting.

And then there's since, there's the penny, which Lincoln was also on. Which is Kelvin. Yeah, okay. That's right. Yeah. Isn't it weird that Kelvin is like a measure of like warmth and like cameras, but also temperature warmth. Oh, yeah.

You ever think about that? No. Never. Oh. Scam call. Scam call. Everybody's favorite segment, get a scam call during the podcast.

Hello. No, no, wait for it. Hi, good morning, Jacob. Yes, Jacob morning, Jacob. Uh, yes, Jacob is, uh, sorry? I'm sorry, Jacob is what? He's no longer with us. Oh. Okay, just giving a number?

Um, yes, it is a grave plot off of Mission and 47th. What does that mean? The phrase, no longer with us, is a common euphemism for... I could barely hear, I couldn't hear you when you said that. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't hear you, you didn't have to be rude. Thank you for your time. What, you didn't hear me or I was rude?

I didn't hear what you were saying, And then I didn't hear that part. You went in and out. Okay. And then when you... Yeah. Sorry about being rude when you couldn't hear me. What I was saying... That's okay.

Oh, okay. Okay, I'm sorry. No, I get it now. Okay. I just had to kind of replay it in my head. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

Sorry about that. Yeah. Totally fine.. Sorry about that. Yeah. Totally fine. So what's up? No, that's okay. So I'm just going to actually just take the entire file out of our system so that you don't get another phone call from us at least. Okay?

Great. You might be getting bothered. Thanks. Sorry. Well, thank you for your time. See ya. What a hack. Life hack. Pretend you for your time. See ya. What a hack. Life hack.

Pretend you're dead. Just kill yourself. That were great. A little rough patch through the middle. You were rude about it. But in the end, I did get my file taken out, which maybe she killed me from a legal standpoint. I don't know what happened there.

Yeah, like is there going to be something on Google now that says you're dead? Let me look it up right now. Yeah. Jacob Triplett still alive. Triplett obituary. Jeez, the autofill is Kansas City. It's already written. I'm like seeing it being typed.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, who's doing this? No, no, no. Stop. Dang. This is actually kind of sad. I don't want to look at other Jacob triplets who have died. So, going to close out of that. That's okay. So, yeah. Trump.

Trump and Trey. Well, I missed the beginning. You said that they were right next to each other? Like, there was a... Yeah. Trump was in Florida? Yeah, he was across the street from us doing a rally while we were performing. And also, his rally was in the

hotel that we were staying in okay so even after the show we um we had a bunch of our luggage so we're like let's just like um let's like still uber over there and the we couldn't get in because all the secret service and the cops and everything it's always the real deal so we just kind of eventually like walked around this side door and but yeah it was um getting i mean sharing elevator rides with some interesting folks sure fired up i mean it's one thing to like yeah be more conservative it's another thing to go to the rallies a rally is such a like to me anyway it's like a i don't know it's an intense word yeah the word rally just all it seems like... Well, you only rally on two, right? I'm a cheer dad, so I know. Rally on two like we always do.

Yeah, I guess when you put it that way, I've been known to rally. Throw a little rally cap on, it's the bottom of the seventh. Right. Boot rally. Yeah, never... Hey, I take it back then. Never mind. Pep rallies were never just a tame event. I forgot about pe rallies too love pep rallies yeah never called in sick for those days pep rallies i always wanted them to be cooler than they were at strafford anyway only have so much talent only have so many resources and no one can dunk i want to know what the pep rallies are like now because our pep rallies were fun except for our sound system was awful in the gym oh that can crush a rally and i guarantee you now the sound systems in you know podunk junior

high schools are just killing it you know what i mean yeah just bumping speakers gotcha because that was we were the jaguars in a jaguar yeah frontier trail and uh yeah like we played welcome to the jungle by guns and roses but it was just not very not very sounded like family force five which is really distorted well call me back another one the same one it's like a new number this is annoying hello good morning jac. This is Dylan. I work in the fulfillment department here at Travel Now.

The reason for my call is regarding a large number of travel credit you had on file with us. It's my job to close out expired accounts, but I really didn't feel comfortable closing out your account once I saw how much travel credit you had. I mean, you obviously see yourself traveling in the future, right? I appreciate your metric of comfortability. I do take that into effect, but can you just remove my file so I

don't ever get called again? Done, brother. Not an issue. No problem, brother. I appreciate you, too. Yep. Alright, so two ways to skin a cat. Here. Yeah. two ways to skin a cat. Yeah. Here.

Yeah. Two ways to skin a telemarketer. Perfect. Yeah. All right. Well, I'm making a lot of progress this morning. This is great.

I hope somebody else does. Just getting the habit. My dad calls me. Hey, can I, can you just never call me back? Another scam call. Hey, dad. Can you you just never call me back? Another scam call. Hey, dad.

Can you figure out a way to just block my number? Thanks. Right. Anyway, the shows were fun. I think it was the West Palm show, the first show of the trip. Do a little crowd work. I mean, there's a couple older, like in their 60s, probably sitting front center, sitting right next to each other, pretty close to each other. I wrongly assume they're married.

Hey, you guys married? No, actually. Oh, so sorry. What is your relationship? And the guy goes, more fun. I was like, oh, that's interesting. More fun than marriage? Florida, baby. I was like, what kind of

swamp? I don't know. It just sounds funny. It sounds kind of wrong. Whoa, you got some swamp gators over here. Like, I don't know what it means, guys. Don't feel uncomfortable. That is funny. So, but yeah, so I was making some jokes like,

I don't know what that means or what kind of like Florida swingers Facebook group you met. I don't know what's going on here. Yeah. I was like, so I don't know what your relationship is, but like, how did you guys just meet? And they go, we met online. I was like, okay, that's great. Nothing wrong with that. Like what website was it? And you know, I think I'm like, I'm starting to build up, like I'm a little nervous to ask, but what website was it? And then that's when they say, uh, I don't want to say, and I was like, oh, boy.

And truly feeling this tension of like, what do I do? Because I kid you not, seven seats to the left of them is like an eight-year-old and a six-year-old. I don't know who brought an eight-year-old and a six-year-old to a show, but I could see them. And it's like, you know, I'm a human. I'm a good guy. It's like, do we go down this path and figure out what's going on?

I am a state of comedian. Or do you figure out where the eight and the six-year-old met each other? How do you guys meet? You guys met online as well. Wow. So truly torn, not knowing what to do. And I even said on stage, I was like, I am so nervous.

I don't know what to go, whatever. And I was like, you really don't want to say? And they're like, okay, mm.com. So I was like, well, now I'm more nervous than I was like, you really don't want to say, and they're like, okay, mm.com. So I was like, well, now I'm more nervous than I was before. What in the world is mm.com? And of course, in my head, I'm thinking, what kind of like crazy, what are the craziest words I can think of that are mm.com? What kind of kink website is this going to be?

And all this stuff, once again, I'm nervous. I'm like, what is it? I guess. Come to find out they didn't want to say because it stands for millionaire match.com. So they were being kind of humble, I guess. They're both millionaires. What? I didn't know this was a website. Never heard of it. Some kind of high end matchmaking service. Whoa. Okay. Timon, look up millionaire match.com for us. Yeah. I want to know how much you have to pay to be on millionaire match.com or how, Oh yeah, it probably is how the verification works or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that was kind of interesting. Um, I kind of like this. It's like, it's like, uh, yeah, sorry. Go ahead. It gave me some good

material, you know, cause then right at that, I was like, well, I've been married for four months. My wife and I wish you met on thousand air match. Match. Not as exclusive, but you find some good folks in there. And hers was negative. Yeah, it was more of a student loan debt thing. She didn't get approved for a credit card, but no problem. But it was a really fun show. There was some good crowd work, and I had a bunch of friends in the audience that night,

so that was always nice. Erin Bowling, Erin Powell was there, her mom. Oh, wow. Mom was there. Yeah, yeah there yeah yeah old kb yeah she was in town um caleb hitchcock listener of the pod yep um there was some uh there was a lot of people on the lobby afterwards the very first person i made hey what's your name nice to meet you she was i think she met you before this girl's like in high school and i knew the last time we performed in west palm was at a comedy club which she would not have been allowed to go to. So I was like, how in the world?

Exactly. Yeah, yeah. I did that gig in West Palm like two years ago. I went down to Family Church. I was gonna say, it sounded like very generic. Church, church. And anyway, I think I may have even talked about this two years ago on the podcast,

but I had a guy named Tommy who was assigned to just drive me around all weekend. He ended up becoming a ghostie. He was at the show. Oh, wow. I think he still listens. So Tommy, shout out. That would be more fun than the show for me is seeing people like that.

Yeah. You know, afterwards. Yeah, we were cracking so many jokes. He's just like, if you need a ride tonight, you know, and I was like, he's like, what are you doing tomorrow? I was like, you still got your license? Trump rally. But I'm sorry.

I forget the name of the girl who i met but she i think she met me at family church and then became a ghost runners listener cool just like became a fan she was wearing like a u-haul vibe shirt underneath was wearing a hoodie that i didn't recognize i was like that's cool you made your own merch and she's like i got this from you guys i was like really brad's in charge of the merch. Well, I still feel like I do. Do you remember making a hoodie that just says Jake Triplett with a pair of sunglasses on it? Yeah. Really?

I've never seen that before. To the point where I was like, did her mom lie to her? I'm like, I got this from Ghost Runners. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like when you get like a poster signed by somebody. It's like, no, totally. Willie Mays signed that baseball. From Santa.

Yeah, seriously. Yeah. Your body is a wonderland. John Mayer. Like, oh, seriously. He's like, no, totally. Willie Mays signed that baseball. From Santa. Yeah, seriously. Yeah. Your body is a wonderland. John Mayer. Like, oh, seriously, he signed that. So I really had the thought. I was like, that's such an awe. It's just Jake Triplett with sunglasses.

The more I thought about it, the more I was like, her mom did make that for sure. It was really hard to figure out how to make merch that just said your name on it. You know what I mean? And so I did. I made like that one, the I like Jake. I came here for Jake Triplett, which I originally, I just put, I came for Jake triplet and I was

like, let's, let's change that to here. Um, and, uh, I came here for Jake. Yeah. It's so fun. Um, so yeah, I had a few, had a few different ones up there. Um, yeah, I, I, if it were easier to just look up like statistics, I would love to see if she's the only one that bought the tree. I've got to be the easiest way to figure out her name. Yeah.

But shout out you, whoever you are. I think her name starts with a K. Kiera, Kies, Kesha. Kesha. Kesha. No, Florida.

You never know. Swamp Dragon. Swamp Cater. Timon, what did we find on amm.com? One funny thing I thought, well, it says the world's largest millionaire dating service.

So apparently there's more. And also it says, and like the subtext, meet 5,513,608 plus high quality singles and build serious relationships. It's an exact number, but there is plus. It's an exact number plus. But they said there's 5 million people in their database? It looks like it, yeah. It's like one of those stats where you learn that like over a like a thousand youtubers have 10 million

subscribers or whatever that is like is that possible yeah i don't buy that there's 5 million people on that website i yeah but that feels like a number is that it's like yeah i don't know that's so many yeah it says 2 million 2,033,000 plus monthly conversations. Dang. Really? Okay, now I believe them, but now I question the vetting process. Fair. It says, it has like, I think,

I mean, I'm assuming it's a pretty, I mean, it can't be that intensive, like application thing, but yeah, it says join if you're a respective and attractive single. Oh. Join if you're a successful single making over $300,000. Oh. That makes more sense.

Net worth of a million dollars, though. More than likely if you're making $300,000. Your estate is worth a million dollars. I like the first part. Just respective and attractive. I thought we were just going to end there. If you have self-respect, come on our website. You'll love it.

I would do great there. Does it say how much it costs? It's got to cost something to weed some people out. Yeah, but I just wonder if it's a premium price. I feel like to see, I would have to create an account, and I don't think I'm going to do that. Yeah, do it. Ty's about to get some weird targeted ads.

He's going to be scrolling with his mom next to him, and his mom's like, what are you? What have you been looking at? Get Zach over here. It was Zach. I'm going to Google millionaire match app cost. A gold membership on millionaire match costs $70 for a single month. That doesn't seem too bad.

$170 for three months. But it's totally worth it. Here are some perks you'll get when you upgrade to a premium membership. Ability to send messages. What? Oh, that's pretty good. That seems like a given.

Yeah, perks are perks. Yeah, gold maybe is the lowest level. Yeah, maybe as a millionaire, gold is just another metal. Like give me platinum, give me palladium. Yeah, plutonium. Yeah, something nice. Like high value. Like, give me platinum. Give me palladium. Yeah, plutonium. Yeah, something nice. Like, high value.

Yeah, sure. Oh, that's funny. So, yeah, that was the West Palm show. And so it was kind of fun. And we, a print term we talked to, he said, where are you going next? He said, Key West.

And everyone had a kind of unique reaction. Like, oh, Key West. And it's one kind of unique reaction. Like, oh, Key West. And it's one of those things like, I don't know, you know, I don't know Key West. So this is interesting. Who say, oh, the people in West Palm are saying this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All the people in the lobby. Oh, wow, you're going to Key West.

One of the things that happened, and then we'll talk about some coffee that we love, is that Aaron Powell was like, you have to get this key lime pie on a stick that they do in Key West. She's like, no one does it better than them. She's like, I'm trying to think of the name of it. I know it's in a green house looking thing. So I was giving her a hard time.

Good, Erin. Yeah, then it was like, all right, you're going to find a green house. Yeah. There's going to be a bullfrog. He'll ask you a riddle. You have to solve that. Go in.

Three paces. Take a left. You know, kind of giving her a hard time. It's this whole riddle. Only paying nickels. I don't know why. It's just their thing. There'll be a bunny rabbit who gives you your change.

There's a swamp gator inside. Not that kind. The other kind. The Key West kind. This is real. So that was kind of fun. So that lays the foundation for Key West. Okay.

But for now, let's talk about Main Street Roasters. Let's talk about them. Main Street Roasters is our sponsor today, every day, every episode. They have committed to sponsoring us because you guys love them so much, and we love them so much, and they love us so much. And everybody loves everybody when it comes to Main Street Roasters coffee that's what i'm reading it right yeah you nailed it right perfectly um they're just the best everyone loves coffee why not get coffee from the people that love the ghost runners the most that's a good way of putting it right that's

a great you're going to drink say it again everyone loves coffee why not get your coffee from main street roasters for the people that love Ghostbusters the most. How many people out there you think like Main Street Roasters? All of them. Every person that's ever tried it. Thank you, Forrest. Yes. Yeah, Rachel brewed some up this morning.

I love the smell of it when it fills our kitchen. It's a great way to start the day. Dude, we are closing in on a potential YouTube deal with a company right now, and it would be formidable. It would be sweet. Formidable. It's not something that we were expecting to get, and so if we get it, I want to splurge on a nitro cold brew setup in my garage. That's fun. And I want to get Main Street Roasters to make my cold in my garage. That's fun.

And I want to make, get Main Street Roasters to make my cold brew for me. That's fun. I really like that. I'm a big, um, spend instead of save kind of guy. I just like, like buying things, but rarely do I have something in mind for like, if this were to happen, then I get this. I just start doing that. That's fun.

And it's like, yeah, I don't always want to do that because I think, yeah, you can definitely go down a rabbit hole of like, I don't know. I'll try to find something I want. It's like sometimes you don't want something that bad. But I've been talking about this Nitro thing for a long time. And I go to Main Street Roasters West all the time and buy Nitro. Yeah. How much better would it be to have Main Street Roasters Central?

And your truck works fine. The truck works just fine. You don't need a new truck yet. No, not yet. Not yet. The old Chevy. I'll You don't need a new truck yet. No, not yet. Not yet. The old Chevy. I'll pull the Chevy around. I'll show you.

Anyway, MainStreetRoaster.com. They do offer 90% full pricing for Ghost Runners with promo code GRKC. So check them out. Go get them. You won't regret it. It's that time of year again where hot coffee just does different things to you. Put it in your mouth. Pour it on your head.

I've been really enjoying it. It's just that time of year where it's like, at least in Kansas, 55, 60 degrees. A little bit chilly in the morning. The mornings are cold. But if you have a cup of coffee outside on your deck early morning, there's nothing like it. You're living right, brother. You're doing just fine. You're doing just fine. You're doing just fine.

Hey, let me put it in a way you guys can understand. You know that cold feeling you're feeling in the morning? With Main Street Roaster's coffee, it's just going to take that cold. It's just going to remove its file. Telemarketer. Yeah. Give me a long-sleeved tea and some Main Street Roasty. Good.

GRKC. Promo code GRKC for a percentage like 90. Nice. Okay, so Key West. So we make the long drive, not overnight in the tour bus, but during the daytime in a Sprinter van. Champagne problems. It's all good.

Normal hoodie or a wild hoodie? Dude, I was in a wild hoodie. I know you were, brother, because you texted me. That's what I texted you. Oh, it was comfy so it's i think it was like six hours or something we stopped a couple times um but yeah going from west palm beach all the way down to key west if you're bored if you're not driving or something i know look where key west is on a map it take you have to keep zooming in until you even see land

it looks like it's just in the middle of the ocean um you have to go across a seven mile bridge whoa if you had to guess what that is what do you think it is what do you mean it's just in the middle of the ocean. You have to go across a seven-mile bridge. Whoa. If you had to guess what that is, what do you think it is? What do you mean? It's a bridge over the ocean, seven straight miles. Oh, that's... It's pretty on the nose. Okay. Yeah, but still cool, though.

It's like, wow, we've been over the ocean for seven straight miles. That is crazy. I've never been on anything like that. So long drive, finally get to Key West, and pretty much as soon as we get there i mean so trey and some of his friends they're there for a wedding we're like we'll drop them off at the hotel isaac and i are gonna unload at the venue hey just text me meet you guys up for lunch about as soon as we dropped him off i'm like isaac do you have any service he's like no weird uh uh i was like yeah i don't either our tour manager the week, he doesn't have any service.

And so we're like, dang, I don't know what's going on. Like, what do you mean no service? Like. Just says SOS on your cell phone. So nothing, not even a glimpse of anything working. It's like Timon's nightmare. No Wi-Fi. It's just immediately causing some problems.

Not a huge deal, but even just that we can't even, we don't even have like directions to get to the venue. So we're just like driving around asking people, do you know where the Key West theater is? Um, not a huge deal. We finally get there and realize,

okay, even wifi doesn't work. Like something that was like terrible has happened. But then again, so the woman who I was talking to about the reason I was so friendly with her okay, even Wi-Fi doesn't work. Something terrible has happened. But then again, so the woman who I was talking to about, the reason I was so friendly with her is because I got nothing better to do. How many people live here?

You need some time to take it out? I got time. Take as much time as you need. She was the one who told me, she was like, yeah, I bet a sailboat hit a line. A sailboat hit a line? Oh, she acted like it was kind of normal.

Yeah, I guess so. I think they just have one tower for everything. So if it gets hit, or if a sailboat bumps in, I don't know. Get a thicker line. How big are these boats? A sailboat? Yeah, can we get someone to navigate the sailboat around? Can we get the line higher up?

I don't know how it works. Yeah, if that's all it takes. But it sounds like it happens all the time. What? I mean, isn't Key West like a nice place? I also kind of thought that. I was like, I mean, it's, it's, isn't it Key West? Like a nice, a nice place. I also kind of thought that I was like, I mean, it's Florida key.

It's the keys. It's like way. It's like kind of its own Island, basically like its own place. I think it could be nice. I think it could very much be a seaside of South Florida, but it is not the case. It is more of like a new Orleans of South Florida.

In what way? Like one big street with a ton of bars, a lot of drag, a lot of day Florida. In what way? Like one big street with a ton of bars, a lot of drag, a lot of day drinking. I think they have like an open liquor policy, you know, like you need to be walking around. So yeah, just a little trashier than I was expecting it to be. Is it pretty much only tourists you feel like? Or like that kind of vibe? Honestly, that's what I was kind of looking to gather from that woman. I was like, dude, like how many people like live here? I said, I don't know.

Okay. Now I have a little bit more forgiveness for the woman because now I know that she could not look it up on her phone. Like, like, like, yeah, I don't know. I think before that she'd probably told me like, yeah, I've been here 30 years or something like that that led me to think like she would know the answer to this. Anyway. So it is so far out there.

It's crazy. I mean, it's practically not in the United States. It's practically Cuba. It's 90 miles from Cuba. Yeah, it looks almost as close to Cuba as it is to Florida. Or the Bahamas, too, is right there. So, yeah, it's kind of a Caribbean vibe to it a little bit. So immediately we're like, all right, meeting up with Trey and his friends is not going to happen,

but I got Isaac. Honestly, I had a great amount of time with Isaac this whole week. It was fun. Isaac and I spent a lot of time together. So it was kind of fun, though. Like, imagine being in a city you've never been in, and it's kind of an eclectic city anyway, and you have no service. You have no information about the city. The one person who's lived here 30 years doesn't know a darn thing about it.

So you're like, let's just walk around. And so we did. We just walked around and it was in a way, it was kind of like Michael trying to find, no, Holly and Dwight trying to find Michael. Yeah. Just like weird clues you're picking up on. Like we're looking for lunch.

We're like following our nose. Like, does that smell like Mexican over there? Does that have been yay? I don't know. We go left. I mean, we're picking up like, you know, those like little plastic, they're like bright yellow or bright blue things on the sidewalk that have maybe like a newspaper in them or like a pamphlet, like little things that fold out. Yeah. You just take one for free. We're taking those.

Maybe there's a map on there. We're like grabbing these things. Like, let's look like we're just like such tourists, like looking around, just me and Isaac, just walk. And it's like 88 degrees. Heat index is a hundred. It's hot. It is walking around Florida, just having no idea where we are, what this town is, where lunch is. Are credit cards going to work? Probably not. Good thing I have cash. But yeah, just really fun walking around. Wow.

But it was really funny because I was like, oh my gosh, I was giving Aaron a hard time about like, all right, you're going to want to find the greenhouse. Yes. It truly, it became that. I was like, can we find the greenhouse? There's got to be one around here. Do you guys know a greenhouse? But yeah, we're looking at maps. We get to this lunch spot and we walk in

and a guy is reading the newspaper. It's like, oh wow, this whole town has just reverted 40 years in history. There's immediately like, yep, it's the 80s now. Yep, sailboat hit a line. All right, let's see what happened here. But honestly, I was jealous. It's like really good.

I would love to read a newspaper right now now yeah that sounds awesome you know they still printed them catch up on the sports page um it's amazing football scores how bored you get so quickly you know isaac and i are still talking but like i found myself at lunch like my my glass of ice water was like sweating and so it created a bunch of water on the table and i was blowing the water around just to see how it would glide across the tables just like making like a little like the snake with your straw remember that back in the day like you like you like like a scrunch up the straw and then put it in the water yeah i'm doing the thing where you hold the top of the straw and like sure yeah

yeah yeah put it in my mouth that way it was it was wild it's not having power or you know sorry we had electricity no service no wi-fi for like five hours dude that's kind of like sometimes i do that on planes where i forget to download a netflix show or something so i'm like i mean i'm still addicted to my phone let's see if i have any games what do i so i'll just go and look at photos old pictures yeah so did you find yourself still pull out your phone i well uh and then be no, don't do this. What did we... There was a reason Isaac and I were looking at our phones. I don't remember it,

but honestly, we were at lunch and we were thinking about it. Like, if this doesn't get resolved in time, we probably can't do the show tonight just because I'm sure most people's tickets are on their phone. They can't pull those up.

Isaac's like, yeah, I won't be able to like swipe any credit cards. And then it dawned on us like, dude, if this doesn't get resolved by showtime, we can't watch the Chiefs game. Oh, snap. Because it was a Thursday night game. And then we really started to panic.

Like, let's go work on that tower. Yeah. Let's go figure it out. Give me a boat. I'll get out there. You did it every day in the Bahamas. Yeah, yeah. Let me, I'll block boats from hitting the tower

until 8.20 Eastern. Wow. So we got really nervous once we realized, oh, wow, the Chiefs game is in jeopardy. So when did it come back? It came back at probably like 5 p.m. or so. So it was fine. So when did it start? I think we got there at like 1 noon, maybe somewhere in there. So just kind of a fun day, just a little different day, just real sweaty and real just old school. Dude, I heard about this and I just looked it up real quick. Have you heard about silent walking?

It's like true. It's a tiktok yeah it's walking yeah talk about describe it for us it's literally just like hey like for your mental health just go on a walk and don't like have your cell phone don't have any headphones in don't listen to music i'm trying to go on a silent walk i'm trying to think where i've heard this before uh i don't know every one of my kids does it every single day of their lives. How about every person who walked to get somewhere before 1999? Silent walking. It was just like, yeah, like it's good for your mental health. No dip. Of course it is less, less phones, the better. I mean, I'm not one to act like I'm not on my phone a lot, but like, my gosh, it's so funny. It's like, it's like, I don't even know

how to get anywhere without my phone. I don't know how to, you know, I can't pay for anything without my phone. I don't. It was bad. Yeah. Dude, TikTok trends are going to become just like basic, like human needs. TikTok trend. Talk to your parents. Yeah. Check in on your friends. Heat up your raw meat before you eat it.

Heart rate. Yeah. Dude, this is great. I posted my first stand-up clip in a long time to my Instagram this morning.

Guys. 18. 18. The camera with his eyes. I'm going to have to go on a silent walk after this. Yeah, that's good. What are you going to talk about, bro? I don't know.

Let's see. I don't think I have it, but this morning I woke – I slept terribly last night. Bummer. And second night in a row I slept really weirdly bad because two nights ago, Bo came in and said he was scared of one of his stories. Okay. Whatever that means. So he like never comes and sleeps with us, but he does.

And for whatever reason, when our kids come to sleep with us, they want to snuggle up with Big Papa. Yeah. And our kids kick me in their sleep. So whatever. And then last night, I had this weird like pain in my side to the point where I was like, I think this is what appendicitis is. And so I woke up this morning. I didn't tell you guys about this yet, but I was like, I might go to the hospital after this or something to like, to get your appendix taken out. I don't

know, but it seems like it's getting better all of a sudden. Like I feel, but like for a long time, it was just like, this is a weird thing. And I'm still like 15% on edge about it. Like maybe something's going on. But for a while it was like, this is a weird thing and i'm still like 15 on edge about it like maybe something's going on but for a while it was like every time i like breathe there's something it was like this weird pain so i don't know i don't know but but apparently i looked into it no one knows why you have an appendix so why not get it out of there there's got to be a reason god don't make no mistakes god god don't make no junk. No junk. That's what Spike White used to say. God don't make no junk. But anyway.

Dang, that's kind of scary. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe. I texted Gunner because Gunner had his appendix taken out like five years ago. I was like, what did you feel? And he was like, I mean, I was throwing up a bunch and I never throw up. I'm like, okay, well, I haven't gotten sick at all. Not doing that.

So I don't know if I just, you know, was rough housing too much with the kids last night, you know, doing too many flips on the trampoline. Yeah. So speaking of Gunner, we,

uh, he organized a little pickup football like he does occasionally. It is unbelievable how much fun I had playing football. That's awesome. I can't stop thinking about it. It was so fun. I love pickup football. What,

uh, what about it? Like, what do you get most excited about? I don't. Is it the feeling of catching a football? Is it that? Is it like, is it running a route?

I can't pinpoint it. Yeah. I love playing defense. I love playing offense. I love the guys. Yeah. Nick Hagerman shows up. He's wearing an Iowa State quarter zip.

He's playing quarterback. I mean, Brock Purdy in the flesh. Yeah, right. Calling him Brock all day. Nice. It was just so fun. It was perfect weather. It was probably like 55 degrees. It's unbelievable how sore I get too, though, because we don't

sprint anymore. No. But then for like two and a half hours, I was running, sprinting, cutting. Cutting hard. Don't do a lot of cutting these days, so it was so fun. It was also a great day for a solar eclipse. Were you out and about that day? Just so cloudy. It was so cloudy. I mean, it was day for a solar eclipse. Were you out and about that day? It was so cloudy. It was so cloudy.

I mean, it was just the cloudiest day of all time. Yeah. But yeah, we went straight from football to then, truly straight from there to a tee time for Peter's birthday. So it was me, Peter, Isaac, and Harrison. Nice. And I'm out there playing golf, and I'm thinking about football. Really?

Yeah. I was like, man, that was fun. Yeah. I had a good time. Can't wait for the next one. What's your best route? What's your go-to route oh easy gotta do like it's like fourth and ten we have to score here yeah like fourth and goal um just run really hard i'm out wide and then just like a little chop the feet come back right to the pylon okay yeah works every time if we need it isaac and i we don't have to say anything just like a little chop the feet, come back right to the pylon. Okay. Yeah. Works every time. I like that.

If we need it. Isaac and I, we don't even have to say anything. It's just like I look at him. He's a quarterback. That's what I'm running. Yeah, Isaac, Harrison, Gunner, whoever. How's Harry doing? I mean, Harry's got an arm.

He's got by far the most talent in his arm, for sure. He can sling it. Yeah. Yeah. Anybody that hurts a little bit when they throw it to you? Harrison. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I was like, okay. I wish you didn't throw it so hard right there. Yeah. Oh, it's fun. That's awesome. So someday ditch your kids. Come play with us.

I know. Right. Saturday mornings is always like, and I think, I think if I said to Catherine, like, Hey, I'd like to do this.

I know she would say, okay, you can do that. Really? But it's like, I don't know. That's like, I'm like part of the reason is to see my kids.

Part of the reason is to serve her. So I just know, I don't know, but maybe if I'm like, Hey, I'll do it on Friday this week or something. Yeah. There you go.

I think it's just dadder days, not Saturdays. Right. Right. Right guys. Right. Right. Don't bring me anymore.

Right. Um, yeah, that was fun. Still sore from it. I was like in church the next day and like clapping for worship. And like, I was like,

my hands are sore. It's one thing. It's like your quads, your hamstrings to be sore. It's like, I mean, weird parts of my hand. Dude, I know that. That muscle right here, like outside of your pinky. It's just like, oh yeah. My forearm is like sore to touch. My fingers feel sore. It's like, it was touch football. This is awesome. This is awesome. What was the best play of the day? Oh, dude.

I'm glad you asked because I would have forgot to bring this up. So at one point, we've been playing for 30 minutes at this point. We realized, wait, the teams are uneven. Okay, well, that's a bummer. So we realized the other team has one extra person than us. So Link, you know Link Strickland? I think he listens to the podcast. He was like, okay,

I'll just like stand here then because the defense had an extra um person so link is just just standing here and link is probably like five seven not a not a physical presence sure on defense he's just standing there with his arms up i mean barely i don't think he's looking at the quarterback i don't think he's like paint i think he's just in his own world just like standing there he looks like a scarecrow. Nick Hagman drops back to pass and just drills with it. On purpose? No, it just doesn't see Link.

It's just like there's an open receiver across the middle and Link just deflects the pass. And he's like, well, I wasn't, sorry, I wasn't really meaning to break up the pass. No, no, no. If he hits a guy not moving, that's his fault. I like that. That's part of it. That was so funny. We were all like dying laughing. It was perfect. There was Link. It was just so funny. I like the idea of if it's,

if it gets too high of numbers, it's like, okay, you know, like you can only pass it 10 yards down the field, but five of the eight of the guys on defense have to be stationary before. Yeah. It's like, all right, 12 guys are on the team, but it's still seven on seven. Right. You got five people, five scarecrows. Right. But, but once they throw the ball and they catch the ball, they can. You can go tackle? Yeah, you can tackle the ball. That's kind of fun. Yeah, because that way.

It's a freeze tag. That way you can't just run a little screen and have the guy run past all the guys. Yeah. Kind of like some dummies, basically. Yeah. You have to get around. So that's pretty funny. Link.

Yeah. Link. Shout out to Link and Link's wife. Annie. Met Catherine the other day. Catherine really likes your wife, Link. Yeah. So shout out to Link and Link's wife. Annie. Met Catherine the other day. Catherine really likes your wife, Link. Yeah. So shout out to you guys.

Link, I rarely know your wife from like eight years ago. No, just kidding. But she's awesome. Yeah. Annie. Maiden name Rumpf. Rumpf. Rumpf.

Harumph. That's what you say in our fraternity when we agreed. Oh, Harumph. Straight to golf, though. It was a great time. We were all playing well, which is fun. I feel like none of us had played golf in a long time, and it was cold out, but we were all playing well, so it was fun. At one point, it was hole two, so we don't really know.

Basically, the fairway, the guys in front of us were below a hill. We couldn't see it. We thought they'd already moved on because it's hole two. We haven't been backed up up to this point. We didn know so isaac hits probably a 330 yard drive it's amazing straight down the middle of fairway then we see them drive up like oh shoot that was probably close to them um and of course uh some old guys and instead of driving the cart down to us to say something this guy just makes this long slow walk oh it was like a a coach coming out to like do a mound visit and i was like you can't do this any quicker yeah you know you know all the eyes are on

you you're just like cheesing it up so he makes this long slow walk to us and kind of just like lets us know that we almost hit him which is fair we very much apologize he's wearing a air force you know veterans you know hat on i want to show him as much respect as possible like we're so sorry we didn't see you won't happen again he's like all right all right uh yeah i get it all right and then comes over and grabs my arm it's like all right you guys have a good one didn't like it didn't love it didn't like it but didn't say anything okay it was so funny it was just like we've already like we're like probably five feet away from each other hey no i get it

sorry sorry we won't make that mistake again it's always you too why was it me i didn't even hit it it was isaac why am i apologizing so much i didn't even do it i but i'm like hey let me go meet this guy you know whatever hey we're so sorry and yeah it was just weird just like you know oh you're coming let me just like try it like it was probably this. Oh, you're coming. Let me just try it. It was probably this far apart. So just make sure you guys look out for us the rest of the day. Yeah, absolutely. I'm seriously so sorry.

It won't happen again. Yeah, you just got a little close to my buddy back there. I understand. And you know what? People got close to you in World War II, and you shot them down. So I appreciate that. And that's right, I did. That's right.

So hey, let's just have a good day on the course, huh? Absolutely, we will. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. All right. Let's have a good one. All right. Okay. Okay That's right. So let's, Hey, let's just have a good day on the course. Absolutely. We will. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. All right. Let's have a good one. All right. Okay.

Okay. All right. All right. Have a good one. Thank you. You too. Why do you do that? Was that supposed to like,

like impose a threat? No, I think, I think, I don't, I don't know. I didn't see the guy to me. I would love it.

I'd do it right now. I'm a physical touch guy. Yeah. All day. I would've hugged him. Hey it right now. I'm a physical touch guy. Yeah. All day. I would've hugged him. Hey, Hey, Hey,

bring it for the real thing, bro. Come on. Who needs a bicep when you can get the whole bag? Sigma Pi, brother. I don't know. I don't know what they say.

Sigma. They say Sigma Pi. I thought so. Yeah. Yeah. Pi Phi. That's pretty funny. Yeah.

Just, uh, golf etiquette is just interesting to me. All that kind of stuff. Yeah. I mean, that one's obvious to an extent, like,

but you didn't know it. Yeah, it was true. I mean, he, he knew he was in a blind spot. He was like, yeah,

I think you couldn't see us. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't know, but yeah, as you're, as you're talking, like some other ball just comes right past you.

So it's getting flashbacks. Uh, but it a fun day. Good day for sports in the eclipse. And I think I'm going to talk about a really, really fun date that Rachel took me on in the Wednesday episode. Oh, fun. How about that? Let me tell you, I love that.

I've heard previews of it beforehand. Oh, nice. Yeah, it was a big Saturday. I did remember one other story from my Saturday morning. I took the kids to Chick-fil-A. First of all, I don't think, I think we got there a little bit later, but still it's never been this busy ever. Like the only other time it was this busy is when you and Rachel came to us. Uh, you know, the, the week of VBS or something like that, and it was just madhouse. Literally, we were at the only table available when we got there.

And so after we get done with our breakfast, the kids want to go play in the play place. Sure, no problem. Of course. It kills more time. They love it there. And so we go in there, but I took our drinks in there because they love – I always get them orange juice, quote, unquote, but I always order waters and then pour the orange juice in there. So it's like half orange juice, half water, but

they think it's liquid gold. And so I'm like, I'm not gonna throw this away, but I can't keep the cups on the table. Cause there's not, there's people waiting for tables here. And so we go into the, um, play place and there's a little bench, you know, where you can sit and, you know, a little cubbies underneath to put your shoes and all that stuff. And so I place all three of the cups on the bench and I'm like, I gotta be careful. I don't want to spill these cups, whatever. And then I sit down on the bench and it was one of those benches that was like upholstered, you know, it was like a foam bench with like upholstered, like plastic on top. And there was a little bit of air in between. Oh, a little blob.

And so I blobbed all three of those drinks right off of there. Luckily, only one of them actually like the lid came off of them. They just like go straight up and back down? No, they all fell over. Okay. But only one of them came out. I mean, I think it was only the water one. It was my drink. But Chick-fil-A, I also asked for like a ton of ice came out, but I mean, and I think it was just, it was only the water one. It was my drink. Um,

but you know, Chick-fil-A, I, I also asked for like a ton of ice so that we didn't have to like, I always just drink a bunch of the water from all the kids drinks before I put the orange juice in. So like, I don't want to drink a bunch of, so anyway, but it was tons of ice and it was crazy. Cause like my kids were trying to run around. I was trying to clean up this stuff and it's so hard to just like scoop up ice with your hands. There were so many, like the workers were trying to run around. I was trying to clean up this stuff and it's so hard to just like scoop up ice with your hands. There were so many, like the workers were going crazy. So I didn't want to like inconvenience them by asking them. So literally I probably took seven or eight trips of just handfuls of ice from the play

place, threw it into the trash can outside over and over and over. Dude, it was crazy. It was like, it was a lot of ice, but it was just really hard to like scoop up because the play place has like that, like kind of plasticky floor. Yeah, scooping ice

when it's, yeah. It was almost absorbing it in there, but the ice was kind of melting and there was one other dad in there. If there wasn't another dad in there, I was, I would have, I was, I had the thought to myself of like,

I think if I just, if I just let this thing melt, it'll, it'll go away. It's water. I could just, you know, you know, scrape it over to the side and no one would be the wiser. But there's another dad. I was like, I can't do that.

Yeah. A little biff. Let that be a lesson. Always act like another dad's in your room. And always remember the blob on the Chick-fil-A bench. Maybe we should blob Bo in the air mattress right now. Let a little air out. That would be amazing.

Jump on one side of it. That would be amazing. I've not really figured out. I never like gotten too rough with bow yet and i've gotten rough with him is my point like i've i've tested just threshold so many times and he just has never been like that hurts i don't want you to do that that's too much so i don't know and get a little see what happens see if he hits his head on the floor, maybe he'll make a difference. Ow, dad. Yeah. Oh, dad.

That hurt my head. I think I need to watch more Curious Stories. Cool. Wrap this sucker up. What do you think? Wrap this sucker up. Cool. Let's do our review.

Oh, Tymon, you were saying something? Go ahead, Tymon. Never mind. Really? Yeah, it's okay. You weren't, Tymon, you were saying something? Go ahead, Tymon. Uh, never mind. Really? Yeah, it's okay. He's got... You weren't going to say the thing about Maisie? You were...

The thing you were saying earlier? You were talking our leg off before we started recording. Yeah. It's okay. Okay. All right. Well, I guess maybe it's different. Was it not Maisie?

It was definitely Maisie. I thought... It was definitely Maisie. Right? He said... Uh... It was... No, it was Maisie. Yeah, it was Maisy. I thought... It was definitely Maisy, right? He said... It was... No, it was Maisy. Yeah, it was Maisy.

Yeah. Because you said crazy Maisy, right? I didn't want to... She listens. I was... Crazy Maisy. Crazy Maisy. Let's do our reviews of the week.

Brad, do you want to do the fun, unique one? Which one's that? I'll do it. This is from Oliver. It says, it is a one-star review. I'm tired of them. I don't want to do it.

Don't do the one-star reviews, guys. Yeah, yeah. I thought this was a unique idea, though. I just started listening to this podcast a few months ago and I love it. Oh, wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yes, you're wrong. It's the wrong one. Idiot, Oliver. I'll go ahead and go. Mine's from Serial Killer, aka I wait, wait. Yes, you're wrong. It's the wrong one. Idiot, Oliver. I'll go ahead and go. Mine's from Serial Killer, aka I Love Serial. A one-star review. Oliver, give us five stars.

That's what I meant to say. My review of the week is a ask. It was a request. Serial Killer, aka I Love Serial. Read this before listening. One-star review. If you've just found this podcast, you might be looking to reviews for some feedback.

And if you're like me, you might check the lowest ratings first, just to see what people have been saying who aren't swayed by the high shine of glamor around the five-star reviews. Absolutely. I do this with every podcast. Yeah. It's so fun to listen to that or read the negative ones. Well, I'm here to save you any trouble and give you the real load out of this quote talk show. It's, and then five spaces dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. It is freaking awesome. Not only do Jake, Brad, and Producer Time bring a refreshing level of genuineness and transparency,

but they have managed to cultivate and grow one of the most positive and uplifting communities spanning nations, time zones, and social statuses. There are not many other online communities that can bring 200 total strangers to a weekend get-together and leave people with more friends made in less amount of time than inviting a dozen toddlers to free ice cream play dates these guys are hilarious bring such uplifting levity to your day and not to mention some very tight beats not to be confused

with the subpar sick beat from a certain pop singer i don't get that timing from this oh my gosh beat all in all consider this your sign to listen to the greatest talk show ever and welcome yourself to your new closest friends you've never had. Give it a matter of months and you'll be planning your vacation days around the Ghostrunners calendar, laughing to yourself in your car and making inside joke comments to your friends and family, leaving them in a particularly bewildered state of confused amusement. Confusement.

Stop reading reviews. Go listen to this week's episode, then listen to last week's, then the week before that. After three weeks, start from the beginning. That's a good formula. Yeah. Enjoy and never forget to eat the feet.

I mean, get on your hot dog. Ah, you'll figure it out. P.S. Sitting down to pee is underrated. Funny you mention that. Harrison told me while golfing that he is sitting down to pee now 90% of the time. Dude. Dude.

Dude. That's crazy. 90% is wild. I'm there like 7% of the time. Dude. Dude. Dude. That's crazy. 90% is wild. I'm there like 7% of the time. Dude, yeah. And it's nice when I do. Listen, my only justification for Harrison is that he's a corporate guy. He's going on somebody else's time.

And he's like, I'll sit down and stay here a while. Every time. But besides that, Harrison, get out of here 90 that's too many percent what he's in um i like that serial person serial killer i think that one's okay to stay i think that's still a net positive roi because someone is going to look for our bad reviews on the net it was a positive but hey ol hey, Oliver, anyone else, don't leave one star reviews because overall we want the average to still be really, really strong.

It's really cool to say we have a 5.0 average, which is wild. Yeah. My review of the week, this works perfect because it's something you were going to talk about anyway, Brad. The title says, may start my own business

just to have you guys sponsor me. Five star review. I just stopped listening to the podcast to write this review as I am laughing out loud the way you guys promote your sponsors is amazing and hilarious i've already tried several times and love them all uh several items that's my bad also thank you guys for being such positive role models and sharing your lives with us i always look forward to listening on mondays and wednesdays if i ever decide to start my own business you guys will be the first people i call to promote it

blessings to you and your families shannon thanks sh, Shan-dog. Shan-dog. Tell them the idea. Millionaire. The idea is if you guys are fans of the All-Time Quarterback podcast. Formerly Team Spirit. Formerly Team Spirit. We were thinking we would like to have sponsors on there that can't afford slash aren't big enough to actually sponsor for real, but have businesses have things they would like to promote and just sponsor them via the all-time quarterback podcast for free. So if you're out there, if you're a ghostie,

if you're running a side business, side hustle, Jake and I have been there. Jake and I are still there in so many ways. And we want to appreciate and respect those people and give them a little bit of shine. So obviously all-time quarterback listenership is not nearly the juggernaut that Ghostrunners is. But the people that listen are loyal listeners, loyal supporters of ours, and we'd love to get your name out there. So if you're out there, send us an Instagram message or an email to theghostrunnerspodcast at gmail.com. Yeah, or find us on the street, old school, Key West style.

Find us on the street would be awesome too. Brad, would you like to end this episode with a jingle? Dude, in my head last night, you know how when you can't sleep very well? Yeah, kids are kicking you. Kids are kicking you or whatever. You have weird thoughts that you think are great thoughts that aren't really that good.

Oh, totally. I don't remember what it was now, but I made up a jingle for Ghostrunners. In the middle of the night? Yeah, to a song. It was a parody song. I can't really that good. Oh, totally. I don't remember what it was now, but I made up a jingle for Ghostrunners. In the middle of the night? Yeah, to a song. It was a parody song. I can't remember it now. So we're just going to do the one that Tymon was singing earlier.
