Brad, the day was last night, and me, Scott, and Isaac go up to this park to film some Friday Pickleball content. It's a lot of fun. There's not light at the Pickleball courts, so as the sun starts to set, we got to head out. And so us three are walking from the park back out to the parking lot. Around that time, a woman pulls up in a van, and she says, Have you guys seen a yellow cat around here and isaac goes man i got too dark for pickleball so we gotta head out what do you what what do you mean i heard her very clearly

so i don't know he thought that she said what did what what could she have said i i asked isaac like so like that happens and i like i want to bust up laughing but i'm like i should like respond to this moment because she's seeming distressed yeah and then we all get our cars and we decide we're going to meet up at chick-fil-a so i got chick-fil-a i was like isaac what was that like i was giggling in the car right over just thinking about isaac no it's like uh i just beat tayvon in chess yeah right too loud. She wasn't fully done with the sentence. Have you seen a yellow cat?

It just got dark. I mean, we don't have any night-themed videos yet, and so we just decided we're all hungry for Chick-fil-A. It's a Sony a7 III. In low light, it's decent, but it wouldn't do well in this. It would not do great. There are other pickleball courts that have lights, but they're way overpopulated. The thing is, it's just so loud at Meadowbrook.

Right. Yeah. So we film here and we play at other places like what you're mentioning. Yes. Like the ones you're saying. So, okay, have a good night. Thanks for asking. I mean, you can play if you want,

but I keep the lights on in your van to show on the court. Also, there's a random little cat over there in the corner. Uh-oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in white. Me too, Midwest best friends

eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost from this podcast but yeah i did when i got to chick-fil-a was like, dude, Isaac, I can't stop laughing about it. Why? Like, did you hear her? What were you saying? And he goes, yeah, it kind of made up my mind what I was going to say before she said anything. He's like, so I kind of heard what she was saying, but I'd already made up my mind up.

Smart. What a weird way to live your life. Yeah. This woman's approaching, no matter what she says. Yes. I'm saying it got too dark for Pugaboy. This is it. Oh, man. Well, hey, happy Wednesday, Jake. Happy Wednesday. approaching no matter what she says yes i'm saying it got too dark for poker ball this is this is it oh man well hey happy wednesday jake happy wednesday episode 273 presented by who presented by good ranchers good ranchers not bad ranchers no american meat delivered delivered right to

your door man it's good they are presenting this episode to you guys as is us and timing. Very good. All those things. Um, Jake, you know how I feel about animals, wild animals, scared of them, scared of them, brother. Pretty fascinated when you see a Turkey though. That was fair, but I, but I didn't want that Turkey to come too close to me. Okay. Um, walked out of my house the other night. It was, it was a little late, maybe eight, 39 dark enough where you can't film pickleball videos anymore um and i walk out onto my adequate deck to go shut out shut off or shut my doors in my garage and as i'm walking i just see this little scurrying thing and at first i thought it was a cat a yellow cat and then i saw that it had a white and black little bobtail. Panda.

It was a panda. Yeah, we have pandas in our – Trash pandas. Yeah, and it was a raccoon, and it was coming out from underneath our deck, our adequate deck. Without thinking, without knowing how it was going to respond, I just made this noise, right? I just go – It was like – Did it was going to respond. I just made this noise, right? I just go.

It was like, it was like. Did it scare it off? No, I don't know. I don't know. I guess it was a little bit of that. It was mainly just like, I'm scared and mad at the same time. Like, I don't like you.

I'm mad that you're here. Get out of here. That's how I feel when I see snakes. You suck. You suck. You suck. That was what I was saying in my own dialect. And then I like tried to watch where it went and then was like, I'm not, I shouldn't, maybe I shouldn't even tell Catherine about this.

She might be more scared than me. I don't know. I held onto that thought for an hour and then told her, yeah, you have a trouble sleeping. I'm scared of raccoons. Yeah. Just there's something scratching our window. I know it. This is why you shut the windows before you go to sleep.

You can't just sleep with the blinds. And the next day, Hattie comes up, Dad, come here. We found something. And she's like, do you know what that is? And I was like, I don't know. Blackberries or something? She says, no, it's raccoon scat. I was like, oh, wow.

Wow. Scattle me impressed. It was pretty, once you knew it was poop, it was like, okay, that's pretty gross. Yeah, doy. And they are just, you know, and of course, this is the most homeschool thing ever. Because Catherine's like, oh, it's exciting because it just has gone so well with our nature study. We can go outside and analyze this and, you know, look at like habitats for raccoons. And I was like, no, I don't want raccoons living under our deck. And neither does Catherine, obviously, but like, I was not excited about it

all. I'm ready to call some. I watched a few YouTube videos of like DIY raccoon traps, build your own in every single one of them. You have to release the raccoon at the end of it. No, thanks, dude. No way. Cause they were like, like like the guy like in the youtube tutorials like yeah you know and the door goes down and then you can even like kind of seal it up just because one time a raccoon got out in my van and it was kind of it was kind of a crazy time i was like as i was watching i was like oh my gosh like read like like thinking about it myself of like there's i don't know what i would do i don't know the noises i would make if a raccoon if i was driving down the road and a raccoon tries to attack me because think about

what it's like if just like a house flies in your car yes it's like that kind of and you're kind of swerving a little bit yeah yeah i'd be off the road and have a second it goes like fly then mosquito that's kind of annoying that can actually do something to me then like a bee or a hornet i sort of freak out sure if it's in the car but anything that like i don't know can anything anything with a uterus or yeah whichever one sure bud can't fit in your hand or as a uterus i'm scared i'm gone we're done i'm hiring somebody to get rid of that thing if we see it again what is the hierarchy of things you want underneath your porch? Let me just ask you this. This is called taking you to the eye doctor. It's like, which one of these numbers do you see more clearly right now? So yeah, cover your left eye. All right. Which one of these would

you rather have living under your deck? Armadillo, deer. Under my deck? Yes. The deer, they're like octopus. They can fit in very small holes. Can I ask, is it always just one of each? We don't know. You know of minimum one, but probably a family. I don't know. Yikes.

I hate this. I hate this game. Armadillo. You would prefer to have an armadillo? I would prefer to have zero of these things. Okay, okay, okay. Hey, that's the idea. A bunch of deer under,

and they're confined, dude. They're going to, they're going to like get skittish and then they're going to try to get out and they're going to start bumping up the floorboards when they get out. And then they're, it's going to be like, save yourself, do whatever you have to do to survive. Run over that big guy. If you want to run over his little one and a half year old daughter, I don't care. Whereas armadillos at least, I don't know. I'm going to seem like they have body armor on them though. Like I feel like I would, I would take a baseball bat to that thing and not even, it would dent the bat. But don't armadillos eat ticks?

I don't know. But they also have leprosy. So one step forward, one step backwards. Sure. Didn't know either of those things. But how many times have you seen a tick in Shawnee, Kansas? I don't know. I don't hunt them. You shouldn't. It's never in season i wouldn't yeah all right uh so armadillo

or deer you choose deer yeah yeah cover your other eye let's go fox or raccoon underneath underneath the deck frick this game dude i hate all about this uh Underneath my deck, I would say fox. Prefer the fox? Yes, I want the fox. Okay. Raccoons, dude, I had a scary moment with a raccoon one time in a dumpster. Me too. They're territorial and aggressive.

Yes, I didn't realize that. And ever since that moment, it hissed slash growled at me. It was like a combination of a cat and a dog. It was like, rawr! And I was like, no way, dude. I know exactly what you're talking about. Every time I ever throw away anything in a dumpster now, I'm always just like,

making sure there's nothing in there first. All right, cover your other eye. This is the 18 bracket. Okay. This is a good one. This is the, all right. Bats or a beaver? Fudge, dude.

Give me beaver? Fudge, dude. Give me beaver because I'm kind of curious about those little guys. We don't see those very often. I might want to get to know them. All right. Bats, since they're blind, you never know. You don't know what's going to happen with those baddies. And they could give you stuff. They could give you big stuff.

I feel like anything that can fly, that just makes it scarier. Yeah, because anytime the door is open, they're scurrying in there, potentially. All right, last one of the first round bracket. Cover your eye, please. Thanks, both of them. This is a good one, too.

Let's go Bobcat or Skunk. Oh, my. I know it sounds crazy, i'm gonna say bobcat for some reason like like animals that are actually aggressive that i could get i could get like up for something about like give me my shotgun and i'll take that bobcat out that i think that's why mice are scary for some reason it's because i can't like obviously i could physically overtake them they're so small though but they're a little scared of you and so you never know what they're gonna do on accident yeah like get out of here get oh crap i'm on him

i'm on him just crawl up the other side he's in my pillowcase it's like no just get away from me completely i don't hate that logic i know bobcat like you know you're in a fight with a bobcat yes i'm already getting him i'm thinking i'm feeling i'm feeling protective against a bobcat would you like if you had to like take on things that are like Bobcat size kangaroos, kangaroos a little bigger, but still something like that. Do you like punch it? Like,

do you jab and like, like hook, like throw a big right hook? Not on a B cat, dude. You, you get a choke hold. Oh,

you're talking just like what? Hand to hand combat. Yeah. What are your, how do you strike them? Open handed. Chris rock. I, Oh man, I'm getting, Oh, you're talking just hand-to-hand combat? Yeah, what are your... How do you strike them? Open-handed? Chris Rock? Oh, man.

I'm getting aggressive just thinking about this. I think I'm a big guy. I got to use momentum. Sit on it. Mother goose him. I would figure out a way to get him down, and while he's down, just jump on him as hard as I could with all my body.

Pile drive him. I get him on hard as I could with all my body. Piledrive him. I get him on down and I'm just like Boom! Boom! Something like that. I just make sure he's not breathing. Breathing. Alright.

That had to hurt a little bit. Yeah, for the bobcat. Imagine how the bobcat feels. All right, second round matchup. Cover your eye. Which one of these looks clearer, living underneath your deck, fox or armadillo?

Which would you rather have? I want armadillo. Okay. They seem like something that are, they seem stupid. Right? They're always getting run over. Yeah, exactly.

And foxes can be mean, right? Probably. Like two other animals, they're predators, aren't they? Are they really? In Dystopia, what's that movie called? Zootopia. In Zootopia, he was the good guy. Eventually. Like most protagonists, he was the good guy. Eventually.

Like most protagonists, kind of go through some rough patches. At first, he was a bad guy, wasn't he, Tywin? Yeah, I think so. Next up, second round matchup, Bobcat or, what was it, Beaver? I think you chose Bobcat or Beaver. I'm going Beaver on this one. Dude, are Beavers the one that, like, they're probably eating away at your deck

and building their own home with it? Shoot. Isn't beavers, they just go nuts with their teeth? Yeah, they go nuts on trees. Yeah. So then, therefore, they'd be susceptible because there'd be holes in the deck. I'm okay with that.

Okay, okay. You choose beaver over bobcat? Yes, because you said you don't know how many of them there are going to be. If there's more than one bobcat, I'm sorry. It'd be me and Bo, and I'd be like, Bo, it's nice knowing you, brother. I love you so much. You take the baby, and I'll take the rest.

I'll take mom and dad. Okay, so final matchup. Which would you rather have living underneath your deck? Armadillo or a beaver? And there could be more than one. Give me Dillos. Give me Dillos. Armadillos.

A Dillos. Yep. There it is. Dang, I should have... If I would have been playing my cards right, I would have thought about that for 45 seconds and then just said, I really can't say.

I can't. I can't decide. It's funny this conversation because, uh, past this past Friday for Friday night movie night, um, new movie added to the arsenal for the kids, old movie unlocked, like memory unlocked for me, the, uh, Davy Crockett King of the wild frontier, the Disney movie. You ever see that one timing? I don't think so, dude. Awesome movie. First of all, just Davy Crockett in general is just a very fascinating man um and there's one scene near the beginning where he is they they the term they use like you know these tennessee hillbillies he's grinning down a bear like he's fighting a bear barehanded grinning down a bear he's grinning down a bear Bart's grinning down a bobcat

seriously there's like a scene where like the army generals are trying to find Davy Crockett and Davy's you know friend George

is like be quiet be quiet Crockett what are you doing what's he doing in there he's grinning down a bear grinning down a dillo.

There were so many. Tymon, I don't know how easy it is. Do this for one minute, and if you can't figure it out, that's okay. But look up some good quotes from Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. There's just so many amazing old school sayings in there. I'm just like, I've never even heard that word. That's fun. I looked up some armadillo fun facts, just so you kind of get to know what's going to be underneath your deck.

First of all, in Spanish, it means little armored one. Okay. Armored, see? Yeah. This is truly a fun fact. They come in quadruplets. No, no, no, no. I don't like that fact. Nine banded armadillos nearly always have letters of four identical quadruplets.

Really? How often does that happen in nature where they just have one? It feels like cats always have more than one. Dogs have more than one. Just us, baby. I mean, cows. Yeah. Dolphins? Whole pod coming out

or just the one? Yeah, pod. You can either get a value pack, Main Street Racer style. iPod Pro. What else we got? Let's see. They can dig complex underground systems. Okay.

Get further away from the deck. That's fine. So if they know I'm coming this way, they're like... It's not just one way in, one way out for them. Yeah, probably not. They got a lot of holes.

They can build a whole city underneath my house. I don't like them anymore. Kind of like ants. Big old ants. Big armored ants. Yeah. This is kind of cute my house. I don't like them anymore. Kind of like ants. Big old ants. Big armored ants. Yeah. This is kind of cute. Baby armadillos are called pups.

That's cute. Only two types of armadillos can roll themselves into a ball. The Brazilian armadillo, of course. The one in Brazilian? The southern three-banded armadillo. Really? The old tray bands. Ooh, tray bands.

Tywin, do you ever read a book, Armadillo Rodeo? Mm-mm. Jan Brett book? Bo loves it. One of the armadillos in the book is named Bo. And so we read that one a lot.

Two last ones. This is good news. Okay. Armadillos can sleep up to 16 hours a day. Oh, yeah. Usually during the daytime. Sure. You might have chose correctly.

Yeah. The nine banded. Nina band though. Probably. Yeah. The Nina means the ninth. Yeah. Can eat thousands of ants in one meal.

Really? Maybe it's the possums that eat ticks and the armadillos that carry leprosy. I'm glad you didn't put possums in there because that would have been a hard one for me to decide. They're so gross. So gross. Yeah. So ugly. Oh yeah. Armadillos can carry leprosy. I'm glad you didn't put possums in there because that would have been a hard one for me to decipher. They're so gross. So gross. Yeah, so ugly. Oh yeah, armadillos can carry leprosy. I think one time... They just carry it. It's just in their

hands. Got you some leprosy. Hey, leprosy. I think one time my dad was opening a feed container in our barn to feed the horses or something and there was a possum just in it. Nope, nope, nope. I just possum just in it. Nope, nope, nope. I just like the thought of that. Nope, nope, nope.

One time, me and Alex Demchak picked up a dead possum on the side of a road to prank some people with and threw it in their toilet and closed the seat. So then they went to open up the toilet. That is so gross. I would not like you. I would not like you. You had to do a lot of things for me before I liked you again.

Well, they started it. They took all my clothes out of my closet and just threw them around campus. Yeah. They started it. Yeah. Yeah.

So that's, that's punishment fits the crime. Yeah. That one. And I was like, well, I should do something, I guess.

How'd you pick it up? I think. Tail and. Someone had some gloves in their truck or whatever. So yeah, just, I don't know. Grab it. Put it in the back of the truck. Yeah. Put it gloves in their truck or whatever. So yeah, just, I don't know, grab it. Put it in the back of the truck? Yeah, put it in the back of the truck.

I was going to say, you driving the Impala around, just put it in the back of the truck? Just put it in the back seat and buff out. Oh my, that's pretty funny. Anyway, time we send us some David Kroc quotes. Oh, you did? Yep. Just an article I found.

I didn't read through many of them. Oh. Hopefully there should be something in there. I don't know. I guess he did, you know, bare minimum here. General Andrew Jackson said, you've been making quite a name for yourself in local politics in Fess Parker, which that's a great name.

That's Davy Croggett. Oh, really? Pretty positive, yeah. Fess Parker? That's his stage name, or his actor name, which is weird that, I'm pretty sure. That's weird that Andrew Jackson... Yeah, it is. It's interesting.

Soft soap ain't good for nothing but washing dirty hands, General. And he has like this kind of draw... Soft soap ain't good for nothing but washing dirty hands, General. He kind of sounds like a little bit of Elvis. Yeah, Elvis Crockett. Yeah, let's see.

Well, me and Russell figuring heading down the Texas way. There ain't no place these days for a riverboat gambler with wobbly legs. I don't know. Just like so many good things in there. Oh, man. Thanks for finding this time. That's really awesome, man. That's nice.

Let's see how about we talk about our new sponsor someone new sponsor someone who's you don't need to sound the alarms but i was ready though i was ready i bet you were which i did turn down that channel if you notice but when brad and i've been recording all-time quarterback something mysterious is going over there where the chimes just go off like no no one's over there.

You're on the go. You're always worried. Catherine's always worried so much more about the kids' food. And then all of a sudden she's like, I don't. My food. I haven't eaten anything for four hours. I'm getting so weak.

I didn't have any breakfast. I was like, why didn't you have breakfast? She's like, well, I didn't have my mom on a mission bar and stuff. Yeah. The brain isn't called so weak. It's called so strong. So strong. I'm so strong.

Yeah. Man, that's weird. Okay. You said timing's next? Yeah. My first pick's next? Yeah. My first pick is blobfish. What? Oh, yes.

Is that that like... It is. Look it up. It's hard to take seriously that it's a real animal. It looks like Play-Doh that got a little wet, and then you like sprayed like some acrylic like clear finish on top of it. Yeah. That's a thing.

That's a real thing. I think so. Oh, my gosh. That looks so sad and nasty. Good job, Tywin. All right. Thank you. I haven't added anything any time.

I have nothing on my list. I'm going to go like a shaved cat. You ever see those things? Yeah, dude. Gross. Like the Sphinx see those things? Yeah, dude. Gross. Like the Sphinx ones, kind of? Yeah. Yeah, those are, if you guys are Friends fans out there,

Rachel Green one time buys like this super expensive cat, and it is the nastiest looking thing. And it's like, do they, like they grow hair, right? I think for the most part, I feel like these cats. I don't know. I think some of them are hairless. Maybe not. Okay, I don't know, because it's like. I don't know I think some of them are hairless or maybe not okay

I don't know cuz it's like I don't think they're shaving them okay. I could be wrong. I've never had one But yeah, I said I have a hairless cat yeah, cuz you said shaved cat now. So oh sorry. Yeah Yeah, you're right cat that was shaved. Oh good thing right degree. Is that kind of weird thinking yep? Yeah, that's nice I've also seen brown versions Ooh both gross it's like pink this. This one's like bright pink. I have a friend. Awesome friend. Great girl.

Chloe. But loves her little hairless cat. No way. Yeah. Like it's not even like fun to pet it. It's not fun to do anything. Not fun to look at it. Not fun to feed it.

If that thing bit your finger off, I would say, well, yeah, you have a hairless cat. It's your fault. Next, we're just going go generic just snake yeah gross yeah nothing really going on it's only movement is in this like slimy s curve and then maybe it'll occasionally stick its tongue out in a creepy way just a gross animal that's good i hate them i don't know if i think of them as gross all the way i was gonna say they're pretty cool but like freaking scary i don't know i don't think that's not my first word when i think of them but we're gonna say two-time yeah kind of the same idea i was just gonna say like they're some of them are kind of like cool to look at like they're really

yeah like some of some snakes are kind of beautiful i feel like like i'll watch a video of a yeah yeah a cobra i don't want to be anywhere near a snake no if you're watching it in the next room over i'm out of this house oh yeah bow just comes over with a boa constrictor it's his nickname all right timing um man it's a good bar. Bars. Bars. Okay, I'm going to do, I'm just going to say rat. That's pretty good, actually. That's such a good, yeah. Just get it out of here. Rat.

Rat. Because mice are gross, but rats are like bigger and nastier versions of mice. Yeah, I feel like both versions of mice. Yeah. I feel like both are just disgusting. Yeah. But I mean, there's some, I feel like though, maybe I should have said mouse because more people have pet rats.

They pet mice. And sometimes they clean up nice. Sometimes like there's like going to be a white rat that actually like, but the same people that have good pet rats are the people that have hairless cats. Like it's not like a normal person not to be taken seriously yeah um all right kind of close to my naked mole rat pick but no problem i'll let you come in the family um my next pick is going to be the thing that started this whole thing possum oh yeah that's fair yeah you had a story about a possum back in your Hyde Park uh house right didn't you like I feel

like you talked about the podcast a long time yeah he was living back there to get from my car to my door I had to get past this nest gross I hated it um let's see what's my next pick here grossest I'm kind of scrolling a little bit here I'm'm not going to pick it, but I've got an honorable mention that I can't wait to talk about. Really? It's one of those, like, everyone thinks it's cute, and I just don't get it. Okay, what about just the old-fashioned...

This is going to lose me the draft. I know it's bad. Just a bat. Bats are gross. Oh, yeah. Bats are gross. Oh, yeah. Those are gross. Bats are gross, dude. You think about what's on the inside of them, too. Extra gross. What does that mean?

They carry every disease possible. They have this weird immune system, digestive system, where they can take in all this disease and not be affected by it. That's why you should never eat a bat. Really? You shouldn't eat bats? I don't. You think it's going to mess things up if you do

eat your bat like would it mess up society or i don't know no way of knowing okay i i don't know okay i really don't there's so many gross animals I'll say ferret well shoot yeah okay I have to stick to it too late take your finger off of it how do you spell ferret there's four r's

I spelled it f-e-r-r-e-t okay the first put two t's didn't look right so take one off ferret that's another one that people have as pets sometimes I just I think Will Ferrell. I first put two Ts, didn't look right. So, took one off. Ferret, that's another one that people have as pets sometimes. I just... Dogs. Dogs and cats.

I've held a ferret at pet land or something and it just smells awful. I think smell can be taken into effect. That's when you know that it's a nasty animal is when it smells bad at a pet land. And when it smells bad to Tymon. Yeah, true.

Horses is my next pick. All right. I didn't know what this monkey was actually called, but I Googled it. I Googled long-nosed monkey. You guys seen those before? Yeah. So it's called the proboscis monkey?

Yeah, something like that. You can just Google long-nosed monkey, though. It looks like that uh-huh you just google long nose monkey though it looks like that sesame street character kind of like a squidward as well gonzo or yeah um and so yeah that's just it's just hard to look at just looks a little disproportionate in the face probosco what'd you say proboscis scis at the endI-S at the end. Okay. And then I got going on the long nose kick. We're going to follow it up with the long nose of the sea. Look up elephant seal.

Okay. The long nose of the sea. I think I've seen... Yeah. Mr. Norwell would like a word. Elephant seal. Yeah, it does. It looks like Gonzo again. It's pretty gross looking.

Yeah. And sometimes they kind of go up, but sometimes they go down. It's like sagging. Oh, yeah. Real saggy. It looks like a growth. Yeah. Yeah.

Looks like it's not supposed to be there. Poor seals, man. Seals don't have it great. You never see a footage of a seal eating. You always see a video of a seal getting eaten. Just, yeah, not having a great life. Okay. You called that the elephant seal. Yeah. Yeah, not having a great life. Okay, you called that the elephant seal. Yeah.

All right. Diamond, last pick. Okay. There's, okay, centipedes. Oh, good pick. Those are creepy. Too many legs. Too many, just, yeah, just disgusting.

That is a great pick. Kind of forgot about those. Holy cow. I don't encounter bugs very much. What's going on with these things? What are you seeing over there, Brad? Just a lot of legs, dude. Way too many legs.

Oh. I just looked up millipedes because I was curious. Do they actually have like a million legs? Because isn't that what we heard as kids? I think it's supposed to be centipedes have a hundred, millipedes because I was curious do they actually have like a million legs? because isn't that what we heard as kids? I think it's supposed to be centipedes have a hundred millipedes have a thousand so they don't have a million legs? a million legs

imagine little Jake thinking there's something with a million legs see I knew I told you dad no god made them there's no such thing as a million legs I told that to Catherine. No, God made them. Yeah. There's only this thing that has a million legs. I told that to Catherine. I thought that was the funniest story, Tymon.

A thousand legs is still... Insane. A lot. But yeah, you can't have a million. Is millipede a thing? God. Millipede's a thing. I just saw this question.

Should you kill millipedes? No. There is no need to eliminate them unless they are causing damage to your plants. They cannot bite or sting. In fact... Does not matter.

And millipedes don't gross me out as much. I feel like they're like enough legs where they just kind of become one. It looks like a conveyor belt or something. Yeah, they're kind of like rippling down. They're kind of cool. Oh, man. I feel like they'd be faster. Ooh, they are creepier.

You can really see them. They're bigger. The legs are more pronounced. Like fangs. My last pick is going to be just a good old classic skunk. Gross. Yeah. Gross.

I don't like seeing skunks. Yeah. And you see them. I mean, talk about if smell is part of it, that skunk is... Oh, I do love the smell though oh it's kind of a great smell i think my mom manure in high school i feel like my mom may be like i don't even know if she ran over a skunk but for whatever reason like her car smelled like

a skunk for a while and it was like she didn't have like a very like direct encounter with a skunk and even then it like stayed on like stayed in her car underneath it or something. When you're driving, you know, there's a skunk nearby. Cause you smell it. Right. So very clearly wild.

You ever had an animal get sprayed by a skunk? I don't, I don't think it does not come out of their fur very easily at all. Like even when you feel like you get it out, I mean like multiple baths and then like the dog will like the next day, like go, you know, run around to the pond or whatever.

So I'm not getting it wet. I feel like it brings that like smell back out again like it is hard to get skunk out of a animal is it true that tomato juice does something to a skunk spray according to curious george i was gonna say curious george in the book that i grew up on good for you guys yeah that's what you have for good for having kids you know things like that so brad says naked mole rat possum bat and skunk Tymon says blobfish rat

ferret and I forgot to write down your last pick centipede centipede yes Jake says hairless cat snakes

proboscis long nosed long nosed monkey long nosed seal elephant seal yeah my honorable mention is sloths

girls love thinking sloths are so cute that was on mine that was my the first pick i wrote down that came straight yeah it's like one of the only things i wrote on my list was sloth look at the sloth look up a wet sloth dude dude look up a wet sloth okay i'm google wet sloth it's oh so bad it looks like an old tree like old tree bark yeah i'm realizing i don't like animals very much, dude. I think it's dogs or nothing for me.

Wet sloths is wild. That's not a cute, that's not objectively cute. God doesn't, God don't make no junk, but that is a bummer. That looks like, you know, when it's like, uh, here's footage from the deciduous forest where it's just, everything's been burned. It looks like, it looks like that thing was just like set in place. It just got burned. Yeah. It looks like an atomic bomb got dropped on it. It looks like that thing was just set in place and just got burned. Yeah, it looks like an atomic bomb got dropped on it. It's frozen in time.

It's just like, this is its ashes. Yes, this sloth was in Chernobyl. I couldn't notice. Yikes, dude! It looks like wet paper with a head stuck to it. I don't know. Its limbs are too long. And look at those claws, dude.

Yeah, fangs. Are sloths mean? I don't think. They can't be that mean if they can't move very fast. Yeah, they move so slow. They sleep like 21 hours a day. Do they truly move that slow? I don't know what's true and what's not. I know they sleep a bunch. Do they have a million legs?

Fastest moving sloth. Let's just see. Can they run across a street? Okay, I found some video of the fastest moving sloth, and it is, I mean, it's one-tenth the speed of a cat. Okay. I'm watching, I'm seeing if a sloth can attack. How to survive a sloth attack. 1.5 million views.

So people are interested in this. Just like me. I mean, maybe if there was like, I would need 29 or more to overtake me before I think I'm in danger from a sloth.

I don't know. You take the first one, use it against him. Sloth gets quick when triggered. I'd be scared to touch a sloth. Absolutely, I would. That thing is way too big. That thing looks like a human.

That's like, I got, I got cursed. So I have to be in this body. It does. Yeah. It's like, I,

I know you're in there, Mr. Anderson. I can tell it's you. No, I don't like, I don't like this stuff, dude.

I don't like when I, when I personalize it, I'm like, what would I do in that situation? No, I don't like this stuff, dude. When I personalize it, I'm like, what would I do in that situation? I would go to the car and lock all the doors. And pray. And drive away praying and listening to Chris Tomlin, our God. I can't believe what it looks like, Tymon. That's crazy.

Don't look it up if you don't want nightmares tomorrow. It does look like something that would be in Stranger Things. Yeah. Like, we don't have this one on Earth, but in the Upside Down. It would be like this, but just bigger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bigger and a little faster.

And its mouth could suck you in or something. Yeah, like turns inside out or something. Jeez. Well, that's been Smores. You need to recover from that. Look up koala. It's like a similar animal that's way cuter. See, that was like growing up, whenever people said, what's your favorite animal? I'd always say koala. But now I've learned that koalas are like crazy

like mean. I think, yeah, they're aggressive. But they're so cute. They also sleep a ton though. Kind of like a sloth, I feel like. Really? Yeah, they're just so cool. Touched one one time in Australia. Really? Did they attack you? No, it was nice live tell about it

They are going to get the best trade possible. 100%. 100% believe that. We're just normal guys in that group. Yeah.

I want to bring something to your attention, Jake. I'm going to send it to Tymon as well. Will you just go on our Ghostrunners email, our Gmail account real quick? Yep. TheGhostrunnersPodcast at gmail.com. Someone just said they want to work with us, by the way. I saw that, dude. ThermoWorks.

Copy link address. Sorry, timing. And just look up fart guard. I was going to say, it's the most recent search on here. Oh, it is.

Yeah. So I was already looking at it. I was already a little curious. So here's, here's a, a what in the world? What is that? Okay.

Hope you're having a great day. I'm launching a new product slash brand today called Fart Guard and would appreciate your help blowing it up on social media.

Surely that was not an accident to call it blowing it up for Fart Guard. Real Darius is a person. He's got 150,000 followers on Instagram. Okay. I looked him up. I think I've seen his videos. Nice. You guys are smarter than me because when I saw that,

I thought it was just a weird name. Like Greek, like Thessalonica. Hey, Theraldarius. It's the most outrageous new product of 2023 and everybody will be talking about it soon. So here's video number one is how to experience fart freedom. How to experience fart freedom. Video number two. By Dave Ramsey.

What if you could pass gas anytime, anywhere, without anyone knowing? Now you can, and I'm going to teach you how. Let's pause pause real quick. There is a new product called Fart Guard. So first and foremost, this woman is clearly like AI generated. I was going to say this is not a real person. Because the way she's like, hey, welcome into Fart Guard. I'm ready to tell you how to do this.

And it's like it's not synced up at all. Do you, Pascas? Hey, welcome to the video. My name is generic white girl name. Welcome to FartGuard. Let me tell you more. I've never farted. I'm not real.

Okay, keep playing. Alright. There is a new product called FartGuard that has changed my life. It's the world's first fart silencer and gas deodorizer. Oh, silencer. Fart guard is inserted gently into the backside. Inserted?

Inserted. Look at that. It's very small, so it's comfortable to wear. Boom. The dart. Gas passes through a hollow tube and a carbon filter, which removes bad odors. Ah. Gas comes out silently and smelling like fresh, clean mountain air. No one will know when you are passing gas.

So I don't, is this real? Yes. Okay. So don't click on the, don't click on the website yet. So first of all,

if you haven't watched the video, you're going to get on your YouTube to watch this little, I mean, they put like a little cigarette in your butt. Yeah. It's like, it's like a kid's play dart. They just shove in there.

There's no way anybody is. Well, maybe some people, I am not excited about doing, sitting around just all day long, just hanging out with that thing in there. Can you sit down with that? Or is that thing in there?

Because in the diagram, it seemed like it was half in, half out. What if you can't sit down and you're like, excuse me, guys, real quick. Excuse me. If you smell fresh mountain air, that's not me. There's no way it works. There's a 0% chance that it, it,

it might, it might make a weird smell, but it's not, it might change the smell. How is that going to silence? No, it's not. I'm like over here doing this.

Like Jake, are you releasing mountain air? Sorry. Sorry about that. Uh, silent mountain air. Uh, yeah,

maybe it just takes the vibration away or something. I don't know, but, uh, how could it even do that how so i mean you see this thing it's literally this tiny little insertion like a little dark it doesn't feel like a gag gift it feels like like a legitimate product like a gag no gag gift and like requires you like sodomizing yourself you know like that's not hilarious

so how much do you think this costs not 24.99 uh 18 okay i thought gag gift you know this is ridiculous it's gonna be cheap yeah 24.99 on the dot jake you know you're somebody who's an investor oh my gosh wow i nailed it yeah bob smith over here which first of all i'm sure that's his real name.

So I was football in the morning, a little eclipse in the middle, then golf, then straight into this date. It was so fun. She wouldn't tell me what we were doing. She just said that she gave me a clue. It said the theme was eras. So I was thinking it was some Taylor Swift thing

that was throwing me off the scent. That's what she wanted you to think. Yep. It was like eras of our relationship. So she first she took me to Sonic because that's like one of the first times we hung out after playing pickleball with Scott and Sam way back in the day. Nice. Got a little Sonic drink.

When we first started dating, I would like bring her like Sonic drinks at her school. From there, then we drive to Meadowbrook Park, and we played a game of pickleball on the exact court we met at. Nice. And that was so fun. I mean, it was just fun just playing pickleball with Rachel. I loved doing that.

Yeah. From there, she had brought a change of clothes for me. It was like, here, put this on. Real nice outfit. It was fun. Then we go out to uh it's a nice italian restaurant where we had our first date out of the plaza go there that was a ton of fun um and all the time it was just it was just a blast i just couldn't believe we were doing all

this and she'd planned all this but then go back home and when i i don't know how she did this so quickly because she like we drove together the whole time. But come back to the living room, it doesn't look like what it used to look like. The air mattress is blown up. It looks as cozy as possible. There's so many pillows, so many blankets all over the air mattress in our living room

because there was a brief amount of time when I had bought this house, but when Rachel wasn't quite moved out of her old place where she would sleep here, and the only thing that was in the house was an air mattress. Yeah. And it's kind of a funny, like,

every now and then for the course of like a month, she would sleep on this air mattress. And we used to watch the show You. So then she had You already pulled up on the TV. It was just, I was very impressed by the planning. Yeah. And I was like, we watching You? She's like, kind of.

It was like to remember that we used to watch You, but also it meant like you get to decide. Oh. What we watch, yeah. Oh, that's great. Um, real fun day. Yeah. I love the, uh, I love when you can like take those times where you like remember, you know, the old Rachel and Jake, you know what I mean? Like, like, like those times where it's like, it felt, it felt like a different person. I was, I met a different person that night at the pickleball court. You know what I mean? But at the same time it was like it felt it felt like a different person i was i met a different person that night at the pickleball court you know what i mean but at the same time it was like but that's still you you know so it's like this fun like weird feeling of like oh man i love i love thinking back on those things yeah and we met not that long ago like i even was looking yesterday um for

oh just stuff to post on patreon it's like like, I wonder if there's anything. So I sorted my downloads on my computer by like oldest to see if there's anything on there. And one of the first videos was a video I took of Rachel on her first date. So I was like, Oh wow. Stick with the theme. And so saw that. And it was a funny video.

And like, it was cool to see Rachel like do the same thing that she still does now. It's like, Oh yeah, you weren't nervous. You were just like being yourself. Of course I fell in love with you. Yeah.

You're great. You're the same person you are now doing the same like silly faces on our first date so has she talked about like if she was nervous ever we actually talked about that last night she said she wasn't yeah she's like no it's just fun i was just myself i was having a blast has she ever been nervous in her life i don't know like i just i've never seen her out of sorts she would be nervous if i said rachel, I have some friends coming into town. I need you to choose where we eat dinner. Oh, I will do anything else.

She would be nervous to do stuff like that. Yeah, that's about it, though. That's about it. Okay. So that's my win of the week. That's awesome. Rachel Coop triplet. Fun little date.

Very intentional, Rachel. Yeah, well done. I love it. Well done. Tymon, you got a win? First thing that comes to mind, an artist that I really like is on tour coming to Kansas City in May. Oh, I saw you post that.

Yeah, so I'm just excited. Hopefully I can go. Jacob Collier? Jacob Collier. Is he a Vine guy? No. Twitter guy? I don't think so.

Internet? Do you have internet access? Is he in Key West? What kind of music is he? I feel like it might have started out more as just jazz stuff, but I'm not really into jazz, but I love his music because it's incorporating all these complex harmonies into some pop stuff.

Cool. He's just a genius. Yeah. Yeah. It's fun to watch watch he does like live streams of like breaking down his songs oh he's like this british guy he's just like charming oh yeah yeah all right he's won five grammys yes yeah he won grammys for each of his first four albums ever that's awesome that is a good pace i feel like more people should be talking about this guy

i maybe they are we're just not in the right circles for it. Maybe. Yeah, Tymon was a part of the Patreon live chat the other day. That was fun. It was a little chat room. We figured out that Patreon has a chat room. And so, yeah, somebody asked Tymon, Tymon, if you could collab with anybody, who would it be?

And he said, Jacob Collier. Yeah, the chat feature was fun. I was on a plane, but when I landed, I got a lot of notifications from the chat feature. fun i was on a plane but when i landed i got a lot of notifications from the chat feature so it was cool to see you guys going crazy yeah as okay time and as a patreon subscriber how does it does every single message come up as a notification or like an email or um surely not right i think the message is it was like whenever i was mentioned maybe for that specifically or no, whenever like I was either something I had replied to was replied to or like my

message was specifically replied to. Gotcha. I'm pretty sure. Cause on one hand, I think it's fun to like, yeah, interact with people that way. But on the other hand, I don't want to annoy people that are just on our Patreon subscription. They're like, oh my gosh, my phone will not stop going because people are talking so much in this group chat. Yeah, I think it should be fine. I was getting all the

notifications because people were liking comments that you had said. Right, right, right. Yeah. Cool. So that's that. Let's see. What else? Flying out of Key West this past week,

leaving their real small airport, real small gate, flying Delta. And this woman, she makes an announcement like, hey, if you don't have a paper boarding pass, need you to come get a paper boarding pass. Classic Key West, old school. I don't know why, no problem. So there's a few of us coming up there

and we're kind of all intermingling in the line. Isaac goes up first. He's like, here's my boarding pass, my phone. Great, we'll print it off. She's like, going to Kansas City. And she's like, Chiefs are my favorite team. And Isaac's like, oh, go Chiefs. And so they start talking Chiefs for a little bit.

That's kind of fun. I let some people go in front of me. And it's just some woman. She's like, okay, okay. Sunderson, is your dad the wrestling coach coach sunderson and she's like he is she's like well that's awesome tell him i said hello hey does he still have like it starts like connecting something like he still use that old whistle or something like that she's like yeah he is whatever i let someone else go in front and then it's like a last name and he's like carly

he's like you know or she says like my granddaughter's name is carly that's pretty neat you know what i should say i should call her today and talk to her and so then i was just like it was my turn i was like this is amazing yeah you were connected with everybody so well and she's like you fly to kent city as well i was like yes i am and she's like um what part and uh i was like what part like i i live in she again i was like shawnee she's like oh i went to shaw Mission Northwest. No way. That's where my wife is interning at right now. That's our district. That's crazy.

Yeah. Four for four. How are you doing this? But there was a long line behind me. And so then I would just have to walk away. But as I'm walking away, I'm hearing her doing it to the next person. I'm like, oh, yeah, I've been in a casino or whatever. Wow.

So shout out whoever that Delta Gate agent was. It was so fun. It was so like life-giving and it made me like want to have a job like that. Yeah. Just where you just have to find connections over and over. She was the best. I mean, it's kind of like she's doing crowd work

with every single person that goes through the line. But there's no expectation of a comedy. Just like, just friendliness. Yeah. Yeah, it was awesome. That's impressive, dude. I was expecting you to say like you got up there and she didn't, she wasn't friendly to you for whatever reason.

Oh. Not unfriendly, but just like, okay, have a good day. Because I feel like- You're like, hey, I don't get anything? Do you ever like, I don't know, maybe I'm just self-conscious in this way, but I love my barber, but sometimes it feels like the guy in front of me, they are having the time of their lives, dude. They're having the best

conversation. And then it's like, all right, man, good to see you. Have a good day. All right, Brad, you're up. And I get up there and he's like, so you're doing good, man. I'm like, oh man, like I could be fun. I'm a fun guy too. Let's get, let's get fun in here. You know what I mean? And so I thought that was going to be like your situation. It was like, let's get fun. And this guy doesn't want to talk. Okay, good. Go to Kansas City. Have fun. You know, but no, it sounds like the opposite.

Yeah, it was just fun. It was just a really fun moment. I was like, that was a blast. She was, she was the best. Yeah. So that's fine. I think that I do have people in my life like your, your haircut person. Yeah.

I'll tell you off the pod. I can think of someone. Yeah. There's certain people. It's like, hey, what pod. I can think of someone. Yeah. There are certain people. It's like, Hey, what about, I want the same treatment.

Like, why do you, why do you hate on timing and Brad, but not on Jake? Oh man. Um, anyway. Okay.

I have something to talk about. Another kind of not about me necessarily. I mean, in my neck of the woods, you hear about this all eight, the teacher that got fired. Anybody? I've seen the headline classic me never click on the article. Got fired for a tick tock. I've seen. So I have not seen this. You mind if I take a bite of so strong way to the story, please. So strong food.com for, um, get to get your own,

to get your own. Um, yeah. So obviously Olathe is where I grew up, went to late to schools. So this definitely caught my eye more than any others. But this guy has a Tik TOK account. He's a standup comedian. I don't think he's doing great by any means. I don't think he's killing it on Tik TOK by any means, but it sounds like he's got like gigs and stuff where he does private events and make some money. But like got fired in my opinion for at first I was like, that's kind of stupid to get fired for that. Like jokingly on the videos, obviously it seemed like a joke. He would say stuff like,

uh, I tell my students the wrong things all the time. Like if my students annoy me, I just lie to them. I tell them that Abraham Lincoln invented the car and that's, that's why it's named that. Oh, that's funny.

I'm like, obviously that's a joke. Like, even if he does that, which I don't know if he does, I think that sounds like it's probably a standup joke that he does and he's putting it on TikTok. Just put on TikTok. Yeah. Like, even if he does that, which I don't know if he does, I think. That sounds like it's probably a standup joke that he does and he's putting it on TikTok. He's just put it on TikTok. So then later, so I keep reading though. Let's see if I can find it on here. But he gets fired because he claimed that he would crop dust students when he was mad at them. He would just,

he would just fart and have nasty smelling farts and just walk past them and then like not claim it or anything. And then like get the kids in trouble for it. And like went into like decently like comedic gross detail about it. And I'm like, but he like got called in front of the school board and he was like, this is ridiculous. You guys are firing me over Tik TOK.

Like this is the only reason I'm doing standup comedy is because don't pay me enough and all this stuff. And he's gone out of there. I think you probably, there are TikToks you can make that could get you fired. I don't think that's the defense there. Like fire over TikTok. Sure. Yeah.

There's, there's people that are like, oh, we found out she has an only fans or whatever. Like, yeah. Or, you know, fill in the blank, but yeah. Fired over like farting is a little ridiculous. I think, I mean, without knowing the full story. Yeah. That's so interesting. How does it make you feel about your old school district? Um, I learned that this guy is from Missouri originally, so there it is. Okay. No, but he, uh, uh, yeah, it was fine. I, I, I don't know. I don't know if I agree with them firing this guy or not, but I understand why. After that, if a parent were like,

hey, this teacher is saying that he's doing this to my kids, I'm really mad about it. I would understand why they'd be mad. So yeah. I would like to see the TikTok because I think it comes down to like most things. Like if Trey said a lot of things he was saying in his comedy skits, but just saying them on a story and they weren't funny, people could probably have a reason to be upset at him about that. Like there's an element of like, if it's funny, you're good. Yeah. If you're good at what you do, you're fine. But if it's like, if this is just like not a funny video about farting and kids faces, then yeah, I could see how like people would turn on them. I mean, I guess people, I mean, it's comedy. So usually comedy can get pretty dark. And so it's not like that ridiculous of a thing to say in the comedy sphere of things. So I don't be funny though. I don't know. But, and he was,

I think I'm reading, he was told to take down the videos and instead of taking them down, he like kind of pushed back. Right. I think that might've gotten him, but anyway, Olathe, you know, shaking it up. Look out. Don't get hired there. You know, what would have helped them was fart guard. Fargo. Yeah. Uh, that's fun. That's interesting.

Yeah. I want you guys to do me a favor. I want you guys to go to Facebook, the Facebook app on your phone, on your phone, please. Hmm. Timing's like,

I don't know if I have it on my phone. And then just go to anyone's profile. That's not yours. I'm going to Adam halls. Nice. Saw him at church sunday cool nice guy okay and now i want you to click on their profile picture at like as if you were gonna look at their profile picture what are you prompted to do view story see profile picture

inspire adam to share a story isn't that ridiculous i just noticed that i'm gonna click on it does my person have to have a story already there then? No. I think even if they don't have a story, it'll say either view profile picture or inspire to share a story. Have you clicked on it ever? No. It's a dumb prompt.

I'm going to click on it. What do you think it's going to say? I don't know. I just clicked on it. I must have the wrong Facebook. Oh, interesting. Okay, so you click on inspire him to share a story, and then there's all these different prompts that it looks like.

Adam Hall will know the prompts from you and click on inspire him to share a story, and then there's all these different prompts that it looks like. Adam Hall will know the prompts from you and can choose to display it in a story. And here's the five prompts. I'll say the first word. You try to finish the rest of the prompt. Okay, fun. What's going on today? Almost. Just one word. What's up? New. Dang it.

Recent life events? Happenings? Up. New. Dang it. Recent. Life events. Happenings. Fun. Photo you took. Dang it. Highlight. Of the week.

Of the year. Week. Yeah. Hey, highlight of your year. Pick of you. Smiling. Yesterday. As of you. Smiling. Yesterday. As a kid. Pets.

You love. Pets being crazy. Being weird. So which one should I prompt Adam to inspire him to share? It's so funny because Adam and I are friends, but I not that tight. No, I don't ever contact him on social media.

If I see him, we see him at McLean's probably once every two months. Adam's a big C and public guy. Always see him on sidewalks. Yep. That's how I met him. Um, that's right.

You like met him at the Plaza. What do we think? Uh, picture of you as a kid. Is that probably the weirdest thing to just ask her? And then there's all, there's like this, uh,

emoji afterward. Okay. Definitely. That one, that probably the weirdest thing to just ask her? And then there's like this emoji afterward. Okay, definitely that one. I can't say that one. That moves the needle more. Picture of you as a kid. Thanks, Adam. Prompts sent to Adam Hall. Okay.

It's just funny that Facebook is, they're doing anything to get people to use Facebook stories. They're like, maybe we can encourage other people to encourage their friends to post a story and they didn't have any plans to. I've just never seen that before. To be fair, the reason I clicked on his profile was he was the first person up on the top for stories on Facebook.

Because he already had his own story. Yeah. It's just so ridiculous, too, when universally, someone has a profile picture and you click on it, instantly I should be seeing the profile picture. That's just a basic user interface. Not anymore, brother. Yeah, just like, show me the picture. I'm clicking on the picture and it click on it instantly i should be seeing the profile picture like that's just like basic unit user interface not anymore brother yeah just like show me the picture i'm clicking on the picture and it's like okay do you want to see the picture view their story because we put those two things in the same place or i bet you wanted to inspire them to share a story you're

you're bummed you're coming on here being like hey where's their story where's the story and they don't have one here's your chance inspire them to share their own story get on the stories man um your pet's being weird the funny thing is he had a story like it was yeah every one thing if it's like oh we have no story inspire him to share more yeah it's not enough what he has miss you like miss you post on here it's like no you post on here five hours ago that's pretty funny notice that this week it's like, no, you post on here five hours ago. That's pretty funny. Notice that this week. I was like, that's kind of interesting. Uh, on my notes, we had talked about it. Um, I think I might get in a little bit of a habit of bringing back, bringing back

posting like Facebook back in the day. It's a fun thought. Like just like status updates, you know, cause you post your old SAS updates a lot where it's like, uh, Jake, Jake triplet is excited for the game tonight. Hope Madden comes out soon. Yeah. That's what today's are. So I think it'd be fun to just, yeah. Post every once in a while, things like that,

or like right on people's walls, just encourage them. Hey man, what are you doing this weekend? Like make plans with people through their walls on Facebook. Like time is like, time is like, I didn't even know you did this.

Like it's like four into time. Also, can I just say real quick, when I seriously got on Facebook, someone's posting, I voted October 18th, voting. Early voting. At the polls, you can? Maybe.

Depends on where you live. Okay, okay. Hey, my bad. In Johnson County, I bet you could vote early. I don't know how early. Okay, good for her. Memories. Let's see any old statuses today just

this one's in college too which is a little embarrassing but freshman year first semester college Rachel I'm just gonna say you ended up with a good one Jake Triplett says

just won the SBU homecoming volleyball tournament four likes one of them is Paige Farr she's a listener thanks Paige she was probably on my team

yeah so just one good job and volleyball i mean foreshadowing much that's what i'm saying yeah also this is kind of cool 11 years ago i posted this picture so you see this it's a picture of me and a girl wearing the exact same weird long sleeve shirt yeah so the story goes uh like this was junior year of college i'm posting it i think freshman year i go to st louis with some friends for a fun like weekend st louis city museum cardinals game whatever we go to a thrift store we go thrifting and i just buy this ridiculous shirt for some reason um three years later this freshman girl comes to sbu and on the same day, at the same time in the cafeteria, we're wearing the shirt

because this shirt came from the swim team that she was a part of. She grew up at St. Louis. No way. Yeah. That is crazy. That was pretty fun. So that's us. We're like, this is crazy. We're in the same shirt. So that was her swim team. Not that I remember.

Yeah. It wasn't just like you saw her wearing that shirt and you're like, I have that same shirt. Oh, go get one. Because how often were you wearing that shirt? I don't know. That's a problem. That's crazy. Davis Finley commented, the Lord works in mysterious ways. That is crazy how cool that is.

And just like four comments, you know, just like back in the day. It was tough. Yeah. Tough out there. People weren't commenting. Was commenting even an option for a while? Yeah. You think?

Yeah. You think? No, I'm just kidding. But do you think? Yeah. Another thing about Facebook. Yeah. We hit our 3,000th member on Facebook, Ghostbusters Facebook.

Oh, yes, we did. Someone was giving something away. Yeah, Ryan Guy, dude. Yeah. Ryan Guy. He's the man. Yeah, made his own Facebook group shirt and gave away a WoW CD.

aladdin i played aladdin in the eighth grade play but they didn't have enough guys so just so jafar and the genie were played by girls which you can imagine made it an awkward eighth grade which made an awkward eighth grade boy very uncomfortable. And my only two guy friends in the play were threatened to get kicked out due to goofing off. So I prayed with everything in me, something would happen. So the play would get canceled two weeks before the performance.

The play was canceled due to COVID. Now my family blames me for a worldwide pandemic. I hate Aladdin now. That's funny. Thank you for taking the time to type all that out. That's great, Charlie. That made me laugh. That was great.

Mine's coming from Lizzy Gray, 6322 from episode 270. Oh, sure thing. Just says, you know Brad's feeling more comfortable with Tywin because he treats him like Scott. An underlying feeling

of my podcast, my podcast, whatever Brad disagrees with Tywin. So absolutely, I feel comfortable with Tywin. We're buddies. Yeah. I went over to my sister and Brayden're buddies. Yeah. I went over to my sister

and Brayden's house. Rachel and I went over there Friday and they made dinner for us. And Caitlin, she listens to the podcast. She always keeps me up to date. She's like,

I laughed out loud so hard. She said it was a recent episode. You guys were disagreeing about something. You just go, shut up, Tymon. She said she like rebounded and laughed hard again

and replayed it. I'm sorry for telling you to shut up. That's awesome. I would not let my kids say that. I'm embarrassed. That's funny. Oh, yeah. Just any time. I feel like you guys just have such similar wavelengths as far as you're thinking. And so time is just always agreeing with Jake.

I was like, come on! I'm working hard here. I mean, when you're in the same stage as someone in life. We're both kind of getting through nearly wet life together. Camera guys. Which you know Aperture. Oh yeah, F-stop. Same thing.

So that's fun. I think maybe we wrap it up here, but we keep recording for the Patreon bonus content. Yeah, let's do it. Got some things in mind we could potentially do. Cool. I want you to help me pick out a Halloween costume

for a pickleball tournament I'm going to be in. There's a pickleball tournament coming up, and they said costumes are encouraged. Oh, fun. So I think I could get a YouTube video out of it for Friday Pickleball. Absolutely. And I need to think through what I can move in

and it still would look good in. Great. Also, I think we should write a gene shorts video that we need to film today. Yeah. Yeah. While recording the

bonus pod. Also, I it's a little too spicy for, you know, what's what's it for this episode goes for Wednesday episode, but I want to talk about our
