All right. Happy Monday, everybody. Jake, when did hubcaps stop existing? In what way? I mean, look at cars these days. They don't have hubcaps. They have like rims. Rims back in the day were like only by like fabulous and ludicrous rims. What makes it a hubcap and what makes it a rim? Define the terms, please. I think a hubcap can fall off. Like a hubcap is like something you just like, you just put over the top like a lid on a cup. Yeah, yeah.

A rim is like solid. I have H-caps. No, you don't. I promise I do. No, you don't. I do. No, you don't. I promise I do.

No way. Maybe hubcaps have just gotten better at disguising them. It's like what happened to solar panels? It's like maybe they're just blending in. Maybe the whole roof is the solar panel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like all cam happened? How do you know this? It's like, what happened to solar panels? It's like, maybe there's blending in. Maybe the whole roof is the solar panel. Yeah. It's like all camoed in there for hubcaps. No, you don't. What do you mean? Prove it. Okay. Prove it with your words. I'll go get it. Every now and then. I'd give you a hundred dollars. You go get your hubcap right now.

Really? I don't know. You're really confident in it. Every now and then you may not want to do that, but also it's pretty cold outside. So I don't really want to do it either. You're like, fingers are like struggling. You're really confident in it. Every now and then, you may not want to do that. But also, it's pretty cold outside, so I don't really want to do it either. Your fingers are struggling. You're like, never mind. I promise. Every now and then, someone will either tell me or I'll notice my hubcap has kind of popped off a little bit. Yeah, you're right. I kind of did that one time.

I was like, hey, something's going on with your wheel, your rim. Dude, your tire is messed up. Oh, it's me! Hi! I'm the problem, it's me! 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, cause this is the Ghost Rubs Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Rubs Podcast. fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost podcast you were literally the person who did that oh i forgot about that um anyway yeah i have hubcaps. Yeah, congrats, man. But you don't like that. You like hubcaps. I don't have any feeling one way or the other towards them.

I just realized, and maybe I'm just being fooled over and over and over again, but I just realized, like, go look at some cars out there next time you're driving and see how many of them look like they have hubcaps. Because it seems like the wheel or, like, the tire just comes with comes with like some kind of like inner design and the rim looks much nicer it seems like okay also i went to do this is kind of like my safety net right here yeah i like that mine doesn't pop off like yours does i can get it to pop off if you want me to get it pop off reagan pop off billy pop off uh i don't yeah but i went felt for it and it wasn't there and I was like, oh boy, this is going to be a long-sowed. Don't worry, it was on the ground.

I'm back. You got it. I'm back. I'm back. Hey, we just, it's November 1st and we're recording this, just celebrated Halloween. Happy November, happy Halloween to everybody who celebrates. Diamond, I'm officially a homeschool dad, so I do not celebrate Halloween anymore. Okay. And by that I mean, we still did stuff.

We just didn't like dress up and go trick-or-treating. Okay, right on. Yeah. Did you guys pass out anything? Dude? Let's talk about it. Dude? I know exactly who you passed out to. You know who I passed out to? I know who you passed out to because I passed out to them. I feel like I know who you passed out to. Same people? I don't know. Okay,

go ahead. My theory, someone came to my door and, which is fun, I've never passed out Halloween candy before. Yeah. First time ever. Because growing up, you didn't live on a street that had pedestrians ever, really. Correct. And then, you know.

College. College. They weren't coming to the dorms. 24-year-old single guy. I wasn't passing out candy. Yeah, even the K-Life house was not a really walkable area. Anyway, last night some you know little buzz light year i don't know if it's actually buzz light year some you know little kid gets to my

door and i'm like hey happy halloween and i was like the only thing he had in his little container so far was like a bag of chips or something i was like all you got is a bag of chips i'm gonna load you up brother who gave you a bag of chips and then rachel goes oh those are veggie straws and i was like did you just come from that house over there? I was like, Brian Catherine are passing out veggie straws. No, it wasn't us, dude. That would have been great, dude. But I was kind of trashing the neighbors to this kid.

Dude, who gave you veggie straws? Dude, take a couple, Kit Kat. Absolutely. Yeah, have the whole bag. Have all that and a bag of chips, all right, buddy? And start telling the other trick-or-treaters not to go to that house. Spread the word. Don't go there. Boycott. Yeah. Have the whole bag, you know, have all that and a bag of chips. All right. And start telling the other trick or treaters not to go to that house. Spread the word. Don't go there. Boycott. Yeah, dude. Uh, well that's funny. Okay. So is that the only people you had? But the only trick or treaters? No, no, no. We had tons. Did you? But, uh, that was just the one that I know. I was like, I wonder if they just came from Brad. That's so funny. Okay. So

yeah. Store backstory on it. I mean, so this is the first year we haven't like gone trick-or-treating. It was, let's be real, it was more Catherine's idea than mine. I was like, I don't have that strong of an opinion one way or the other. She's like, I feel a little uncomfortable with some of the stuff with Halloween these days and whatever. It's kind of scary stuff for the kids. I was like, okay, fine. So we decided to stay home. We're going to make it a fun tradition of like we're going to carve pumpkins together.

We're going to eat dinner, like a fun dinner together. And then we're going to watch Charlie Brown and have apple cider and popcorn. Dude, give it, give, give Rachel and I about eight, 10 years. And why don't we each just, um, have a like Halloween tradition where we only trick or treated each other's house or something like that. You know, I had the thought like, and I think part of it was like, Catherine was just in Texas for a week or else we probably would have had some kind of costumes for the kids. And I thought it would have been fun like to dress them up in costumes for the pumpkin and then just go over to your house. Like, cause that would have been fun to just like go trick or treat one place or whatever.

Cause that's the other thing is that we're not like a candy crazed family. And so like we have Halloween candy from last year still, you know what I mean? Wow. Yeah. It's not like we're like eating it all over time. So, um, anyway, so we're just like literally in our front, you know, our dining room is the very front of our house, like looking out onto the street. That's where, you know, our kids are always like, Oh, miss Rachel's home. Oh, Jake's leaving. I'm going to send her the signal. Yeah. Right. Um, and so, you know, we can kind of see like probably around five 30 or so. We see like a few cars like pull up into your neighborhood, like pull on your street and get out and start trick-or-treating, which is kind of an interesting move.

Still daylight. Yeah, still daylight. Also, like, I guess I just always trick-or-treated in my neighborhood growing up. Yeah, I never used vehicular assistance. Right. And so, but like, first of all, Catherine,

all of a sudden, like it didn't occur to her that we might have to pass out candy because our street is like very, you know, busy. And so it's not like a place that people are going to walk up and down very often. Whereas you're kind of like on one side street over a little more common, I guess.

But she genuinely was like, could I, should I pass out like almonds? I was like, we are not passing, should I pass out like almonds? I was like, we are not passing out. I think she said almonds. What else did she say? Like a few other things, kind of like what you said about the veggies. Like you were not far off. And I was like, no, we're taking the candy jar to which our kids don't eat this stuff very often. And we're just going to put a little bit of that in a bowl and let them choose from that. Um, wait, last year's Halloween

candy. Yeah. Wow. I mean, some of it, some of it wasn't, some of it was newer stuff, but like, yeah, like we went to a parade a couple of months ago. Okay. Okay. The timing wasn't there for, um, anyway. So literally we had one, uh, one group of people come and like trick or treat at our house. Okay. Um, and it was like this car, it was the same car that pulled up into your house. They like pulled around our house. I think they saw Hattie and Bo Hattie and Bo were like, so, it was the same car that pulled up into your house. They like pulled around our house. I think they saw Hattie and Bo Hattie and Bo were like, so excited to like pass out this candy and dude,

it was like the most homeschooled, like Halloween sheltered kid versus like not sheltered kid thing ever out of this car comes this little sweet little girl. I don't know what she was dressed as like a skeleton looking like girl. And then these two guys that could not have been scarier. Look, I know you're talking dressed as like a skeleton looking like girl. And then these two guys that could not have been scarier. Look, I know you're talking about the first ones to show up. Yeah. It's in daylight. Yeah. Probably scary, scary high school or boys, 15 year old kids. Yeah. Just in like these nasty looking masks. And I, you know, and the, the kids before they see them

get out, they're like, they're coming to our house. They're coming to our, and I just hear Catherine from the other room go, Brad, will you go out there? They're dressed in scary stuff. And so I go out there. I like literally give them one dumb dummy. So I was like, you're not getting all my candy. In hindsight, I should have given them all of it because we only had one trick or treater. And then I look back as they're like walking back to their car. I looked back at Bo and Hattie. They're just on the front porch, just like dumbfounded looking at these people. And I was just like, it's just a mask.

It's not real. It's not really scary. You know, whatever, all these things, but it was just like the most, like if you can just visualize, you know,

Bo just mouth agape, just like staring at these people. That guy didn't have teeth. That guy was a scream mask. It's just a scream mask. That guy looked like he was going to eat me, dad. I don't know about that. You know, whatever. There's just Bo and mask. It's just a scream mask. That guy looked like he was going to eat me, Dad. I don't know about that.

You know, whatever. It was just Bo in his Chiefs long-sleeve T-shirt. They were scary boys. Yeah, they were scary. And didn't speak either. Didn't like that. Yeah. I was like, what's up, guys?

How we doing? Yeah. They wanted to be scary. Just bag open. They were excited to be scary in a neighborhood that's not theirs. Yeah. You're my first trick-or-treaters ever let's have let's let's make this memorable yeah nothing nothing and that's you're never you can never get another first no right no you can remember

that timing it was a bummer um uh but it was fun it's just like pretty much every trick-or-treat interaction is pretty awkward just because they're unknown kids. Yes. It's rare to see a really fun, outgoing kid. There were a couple that were really fun, but yeah, I mean, there'd be, you know, Rachel. Oh, my gosh, what are you dressed up as? Are you Secret Service? Nope.

Just walk away. All right. Yeah. You do the Roomba? I do not. Are you dressed up as Secret Service? Nope. No, Zumba, the Roomba I do not are you dressed up as Secret Service nope no Zumba not Roomba no no there's a there's a there's exercise out there where you put yourself on a vacuum you do the Roomba but I do not I do the dishes um uh that's funny yeah because I didn't realize that you're so like at least for this one interaction I had with these scary boys

uh they wanted me to put the candy in their in their bags i guess i was for some reason i was thinking just take the candy dude take his mother see rachel and i were also on different pages i was a big like my house my bowl i i decide yes what you get that makes sense yeah that's just how that when i remember trick-or-treating i feel like it was just like, what do you want to give me, sir? And Rachel was like, here's the bowl. Go crazy. Take the bowl if you want to. It was funny. There was some little Cinderella, cute little girl,

but she had mittens on because it was freezing cold. So she only has lobster claws for hands. And poor girl's trying to grab the sour gummy worms and it just can't get it was like a claw a bad claw machine and i'm like rachel she can't just get it you see what she wants right just give them all of the candy yeah that's amazing so how much candy did you uh end up with at the end of the night um we still got some if you need any today yeah so i have a little bit and it's in a bowl uh i wanted to ask you this so we uh you know of course rich was like oh you know i thought to get candy i did

not think to get a cute bowl i'm like i think we're gonna i think we're gonna be fine um when it comes to the cute bowl yeah he's like i'll put it in this like big like baking bowl kind of our kind of our puke bowl yep and i said excuse me yep um did you grow up having a puke bowl yep okay i mean like I think it might've been multipurpose, but like, I don't think I ever saw it really being used for anything else, but, but you knew like, Hey, if you're getting sick, go get that bowl. Wow. Did you not? No, I grew up and it was, Hey, make sure you get to the bathroom. Oh, don't puke. Yeah. Yeah. Hold it in or wait till you're in front of the toilet. Really? You never, like when you had an upset stomach, you didn't put a bowl next to your bed.

I don't remember, uh, ever there being any kind of traveling ball, like between my room, Caitlin's room. Yeah. Anyone else's room? Yeah. You're like, have a stomach flu. Like, like your whole family, like take the ball. Like that's like, like sliding it to the next one. Yeah. Like a traveling bowl. Yeah. Throw it under the cell. Tymon, what about you guys? It was plastic bucket. Oh, a bucket. Just like a bucket.

Like a five-gallon bucket or something? No, smaller, like a square bucket with a handle. Oh, the handle. Yeah, and there were like a few of them. Because like, yeah, I mean, if a lot of the time, if someone gets sick, it's just going to spread. Dude, a bucket, for whatever reason, sounds way grosser than a bowl. I don't know why.

I agree. Now that you mentioned bucket, I do think one time, I have a memory now of going to bed sick and my parents, do you remember those popcorn containers that had three different popcorns in it? I think that was at the edge of my bed one night

going to sleep. I just remembered that. We still have the partitions in there? Caramel is you. I just remembered that. We still have the partitions in there? This is caramel as you, buttered as Caitlin. Yeah, so I think we have a popcorn container one time. So I take it back. I redact it. But for like a little kid, I feel like you got to have something like by the couch or bed or wherever.

Right. Because like you can't trust. No. I'd trust a little kid way more to get to a bucket. It's there right then to like all the way to a bathroom absolutely yeah with yeah especially had you on the top bunk there's no way she's gonna be like like navy seal over there but did you guys also have like like we had a popcorn bowl like kind of like it wasn't it wasn't anything special it was like a oh a bowl that you always put popcorn in.

Yeah. It was like an off yellow bowl that my dad would like make popcorn. And there's a huge bowl. You'd always put the popcorn in. We might've had something like that. Yeah. Yeah. We have a,

I mean, it's like a metal, metal bowl. Yeah. Yeah. It's just fun to have like random, like, like it's like,

it's like fun to think about like, what's going to be our popcorn bowl at the future. You know, we definitely had a puppy child bowl. Okay. I looked a lot like our Halloween slash puke bowl. I was that same shape. You know,

that's probably the same bowl that we would have used for popcorn. It was like one in the same, you know, popcorn puke, puppy chow, three peas. No, the puke one was,

was like a metal bowl. I don't know. That's nice. Yeah. Um, easier clean. I don't know. Probably's nice. Yeah. Easier to clean? I don't know. Probably.

Who knows? Well, it's Halloween. Tommy, did you dress up? Did you do anything yesterday? Went to Skate City with some friends. Skate City? Alive and well? Yeah.

Still. I mean, it's... Skate City. It feels like it shouldn't still exist. It feels kind of gross and weird in there. But it's still... Yeah, it's like... We know and weird in there but it's still yeah it's like we know a family they like rented out every halloween just like oh it's like just for people to hang out it's like instead of trick-or-treating yeah i don't know yeah it's fun costumes uh some

people yeah okay some costumes some costumes time and went as a swaggy gen z-er yeah time and went as a guy who desperately wants to get on camera. Classic. Yeah. I played in a Halloween pickleball tournament this past weekend and, um, but Titchy was going to have time and come and film it, but they, they kind of winterized these outdoor pickleball and tennis courts.

So they put like a kind of a fun dome, like a bubble over it. Yeah. And so it's great because you can actually play a pickleball now. Uh, it's not great because it's the loudest environment you've ever been in it's like massive like fans going like blowers or something or i would say just yeah just the white noise itself is already pretty loud in there but just the echo of pickleball happening in a very confined low ceiling space yeah i just said it like to time and i was like this is's just not going to happen. So I think originally

I might have dressed up as a costume if we were making a video out of it. But just went and normal clothes. Friday night did singles. And I kid you not, Scott called me yesterday. It's kind of fun. Scott just called me on his way home from work. He's like, just want to catch up. Yeah, I just want to see what's

anyway. But I was telling Scott, I was like, I got about halfway through the singles tournament and I was in the middle of a point and I was trying to remember why I signed up for this. And I couldn't remember why. You were not having fun. Well, I never play singles. And so the rest of the tournament, I'm like, I'm sure there was a reason. Yeah.

I don't know why I signed up for this. Like, I never do this. Why did I? It's Friday night. Why am I here? Maybe for content. Maybe at the time it was. That's my best guess is i was thinking okay that'll be the video and saturday either way so yeah heart rate set at a nice uh just 180 for about two hours straight um singles

is uh quite the workout yeah had a good time and then the next day played doubles first first tournament probably two and a half years uh isaac's out of town scott's out of town i bring in rachel's cousin daniel and it was a good time it was it was the best replica of isaac mcdonald you're gonna find in the midwest i think he was like six three uh tall blue eyes athletic yeah um also uh dropped the ball to serve it um didn't get any nosebleeds no nosebleeds didn't make me feel uncomfortable with anything he said to strangers when i was around him but for the most part pretty similar didn't fumble over his words yeah it was really fun uh we got about halfway through the tournament and daniel kind of like hits a ball or tries to hit a ball and kind of like borderline whiffs it i mean just barely

makes contact with it and he's like dude sorry dude, sorry. I forgot to tell you. Sometimes that happens. I have 20, 60 vision. I was like, like right now, or like, if you don't have your contacts and he's like, no, like right now, I was like, dude, you're doing amazing. That's crazy. What a coop thing to say, dude. Like what? Like Rachel's like, oh yeah like oh yeah by the way uh biggest game of my life i just forgot to wear my contacts yeah yeah yeah yeah so yeah what he just knows knowingly he has bad vision he is not fixing it i don't know dude i mean 2060 is bad but it's not terrible right like but it's like bad enough where you can definitely get some contacts and fix it people who like really can't see very well like what is their vision on a like 2200 probably is

what mine was whoa do you have do you have i think i feel like i've tried to calculate it and i like i feel like i have like 2600 or something like that like with that i have contacts 2600 horrible vision dude what did people do 26 i've thought about that so much that's like i am helpless without glass time and 2600 seems like legally blind like 500 years ago what they do if you were born 2600 they put you in a house and said good luck write some poetry yeah no legally black like i i would i could never drive without glasses or contacts or like do hardly anything like when i when i don't have glasses or contacts or like do hardly anything. Like when I,

when I don't have glasses or contacts, I can't see my fingers. Like don't come into focus unless they're about like three inches from my eyes. How big of a deal of it? Let me start over again. How big of a deal would it be for you to take out your contacts right now? And we do a few,

a few exercises with you. Not a big deal. I don't think. Okay. Do you need contact things? Rachel has some. I don't want to make this an issue for you. You're obviously very blind, but I'm curious what you can and cannot see. Let's do it.

I'll just put them down here. I'll put them back in. They won't dry out in five, ten minutes. Okay. Okay. Just some quick context for you here. 2030 to 2060 is considered mild vision loss or near normal vision. 2070 to 160 is considered moderate. 2200 to 2400 is considered severe visual impairment.

Okay. Or severe low vision. I don't know then. 2500 to 21,000 is considered profound visual impairment or profound low vision. Let's find out once and for all if time it is profound. All right, time. Can you switch it to my camera? But don't look at the screen yet. I don for all of time, it is profound. Alright, Tymon, can you switch it to my camera? But don't look at the screen yet. I don't want to spoil it. So for everyone watching, this is what I'm going to show Tymon. I think he's going to know it. He's going to get it.

Keep in mind, we are six feet away. Okay? Tymon, what is this? I have no idea. What do you see? I see white, mostly white, and then a little bit of like orange on the right side, a little bit of maybe. You can't see that?

Maybe red, and then maybe red. And then like hints of like a blur, like black, two black things in the middle. We're gonna have to Okay, enhancing. Enhancing. Let me go bigger. This is crazy. Alright.

Google Chrome won't let me get any bigger. Like, dude, this is as big as it gets. All right, let me get one for him real quick. Turn up the brightness, dude. Slightly. I don't know if I could see anything on a computer screen that far away. Really? Yes, you can.

Even this? Nothing? Okay, when I squint like crazy. Let me see. Oh, wow. Simon's eyes are closed. when I basically close my eyes I should man now I figured out this like hack I kind of okay it's it's it's Jeff peanut butter he goes hey but like yeah with my eyes open absolutely nothing

alright time and you ready for this one rise a little further away all right i'll i'll get close ready uh black background there's a person maybe not a person there's a thing in the middle yeah i'm gonna try the squinting thing now okay he's so squinty you take a video on your phone i i would say get him for the patreon let's see okay i okay come on is that me that's you dude mainly because that picture just seems like familiar yeah i can kind of make out you're like i know that picture that's so funny from six away, Tymon can't see a blown up photo of himself. I have no idea what that is. I see black. Wow. That's not black. So how, like when, when,

when did you lose, like how long have you had, or were you like a kid that had glasses at one year old? No, I think I've had probably glasses since I was like maybe five. Okay. But it was like once I got glasses, I was like, wow, I really was like once I got glasses I was like wow I really couldn't see very well before but I just never thought anything of it I can't imagine because I I remember I didn't get them till I was like eighth grade ninth grade but I remember like being like holy cow I got so much better at baseball it was so easy I bet I was like holy cow there's the ball oh there's only one ball you could see that yeah i thought there were three of them you can see the seams coming at you if you want to dude this is the weirdest experience

now like just doing this with everything crazy blurry yeah you're doing it underwater you're disabled dude like yeah you are like you're just yeah you lost one of your senses basically like this microphone comes in focus right now and i'm really yeah Yeah, like three inches from it. So you can't see close to you either very well. No, I can. Like I'm very, very nearsighted. So like I can't see anything until it's super close. So if you didn't have contact,

you'd be like, you know, two inch thick glasses. Probably. Yeah. You'd walk around with telescopes connected. I mean, my dad has arguably slightly worse vision than me and he wears glasses and they're like pretty thick. Yeah. Yeah. I've seen them in a Ben Rector video before,

so I know you're dead. So I guess, Daniel, not that exciting that you only have 20-60 vision, because that's still pretty good now that I've learned it. So you should be making contact with the ball. What is the ratio? What does it mean? I think that's what I figured out a while ago.

So 20-20 vision means that somebody with perfect vision at 20 feet can see, what is it? Like, it's like what you should be seeing at 20 feet. You do see from 20 feet. Whereas like, if somebody with perfect vision can see it from 60 feet, you can only see it from 20 feet. Okay. So somebody with perfect vision can see something 500 feet away that you can only see at 20 feet away, which is wild. I wouldn't be surprised. I don't know though. I don't know the exact, like imagine an elephant that you see your, your, there's an elephant in midfield at a chiefs game time. It has to be at the logo to see that elephant right there on the field. Just be like,

you know, now that you say it, I do see that thing. That's wild. At one point I was told I had 2015 vision, but there's no way I have it anymore. It's like, when we go golfing, Isaac, he's just like you just get poorer vision as you get older. Like Isaac could see things that none of the rest of us can. Oh, really? It's just a bummer. Aging. It's happening.

Just go get your eyes checked. Figure it out. Okay. There's a lot of things Rachel and I have on our list of things once Rachel is employed and has like good insurance. Yeah. Like really everything is just is now on the table. Like, yeah, I don't have a doctor when people are like, I got to talk to my doctor. When did you get that? When people was like, I went to talk to

my lawyer. When'd you get that too? I don't, I think that's like, do people actually say that in real life? Yeah. I don't know. I feel like that's a, that's a common thing you hear in movies. Like I need my lawyer. Who's your lawyer? Who's your lawyer that just all of a sudden does everything? Like, lawyers are so specialized. Like, if I got arrested, I wouldn't call Steven Swick. He's a lawyer, but he has a real estate law.

What if you got arrested for real estate fraud? Then I would call Steven Swick. But I would not call him if I just, you know, had some hit and run or something. Yeah, in the movies, it's almost like a cool thing. Like, you'll be hearing from my lawyer. But in reality, I think it's actually cooler to not have a lawyer on standby because that means you haven't had any trouble with the law. It shows that you're a normal, good person. Yeah, yeah.

You'll be hearing from the yellow pages because I'm going to need to figure out a lawyer. I'm going to Google a lawyer, and you'll be hearing from that guy. 100%. You'll be hearing from the guy my real estate lawyer friend refers me to. Yeah. You'll be hearing from my cousin who graduated law school

or somebody he tells me about. Oh, yeah? My wife's little brother is in his first semester of law school. Yeah. So you'll be hearing from his professor or maybe him if he thinks he's qualified enough. Rachel called her mom

yesterday, like FaceTimed her while I was working on some stuff. And so I just kind of heard bits and pieces of conversation. But one fun thing I heard, and now I'm realizing I forgot to ask Rachel about it. She was like, that's crazy that Tim saw that while he's literally learning about armed robbery. And I forgot to ask about it. But that was a fun sentence to hear.

Is it worth giving him a quick telephono call? I think middle of the day, got to be in class right now. No way. 9.50 on a Wednesday. Law school is a joke. I mean, it's just like anything else. It's only 15 hours a week or something. Really?

I don't know. That sounds right, doesn't it? I think it's quite a bit when I've talked to him. Really? He's like, dude, it's next level compared to anything else I've ever done. Studying and stuff. Oh, I see what you're saying, like credit hours. I was like, I think he's doing a little more than 15 hours a week. In college,

did you only go to class and that was it? You never studied? Sometimes. Pretty much. Yeah, it was pretty easy. No, I definitely think he's working very hard, but I don't know if he's in class all the time. I see what you're saying. That's fun. Arm robbery. Anyway, yeah, that was like basically what I heard. Like, wow, pretty crazy to see it when you're learning the time. I see what you're saying. That's fun. Arm robbery. Anyway, yeah, that was basically what I heard. Like, wow, pretty crazy to see it when you're learning about it.

I bet. Interesting. Well, Tymon's blind. Tymon's blind. Pickleball was really fun. We came in third out of 16 teams. Never played together before, so I thought it was pretty fun. Had a blast with them.

We did lose to a team. A guy was wearing a camouflage shirt and Fox brand camouflage shorts. Fox brand? It's like a motocross brand. Oh, yes. Yes. You remember them from like high school? Sure. Yeah. So not a good look for the brand. How long were the shorts? Past the kneecaps? Definitely touched the knee.

Maybe a little bit past it. So not a good look for the brand to lose to an all-camo head-to-toe. With pickleball, though, you never know. It's beautiful in the sense that you cannot judge a pickleball player by the cover. No. Same with golfers. I'd throw frolfers in there probably.

Yeah. I think you see a lot of overweight frolfers who are pretty good. Oh, yeah. It's just about experience. It's about like these guys have done it a long time. Yeah, spent a lot of time in the woods. A lot of good technique. Yeah.

So that's okay. I mean, was it a close game or did Fox just beat the Fox out of you? It was a close game. Beat the Fox out of me. Beat our socks off. Yeah. I think it was 11-13 and then 12-10.

It was like as close as you can get in pickleball. Who, and was it you or him? Dude, probably more me. Really? That was my biggest fear going into it's like i've never really played with this guy i hope one of us isn't drastically better than the other because then you just get one of you is going to get picked on it's kind of awkward yeah it's like okay i'm definitely the weak link in here bummer yeah or he comes all the way from des moines and he is not like up to snuff with this and then he just gets picked on the whole

but it was perfect we were very evenly matched and i told rachel i don't know eight different times man i had fun playing with daniel man that was a fun tournament it was a blast so yeah just fun to it was fun to talk to scott about the phone too he's like tournaments are kind of fun like obviously they don't actually matter but it's fun to like convince yourself for like two hours that this does matter right and just like be competitive again so yeah um yeah it was a blast and do more in the future it is amazing like how much more competitive an actual like sanctioned game is than like a normal game just playing with your friends like they both don't matter but in both times i feel like we're trying like it's not like it's like oh we're just we're just dinking it around like it's like we're goofy every once in

a while but it's like no we're still trying to win but there's something about like playing whether even like rec league basketball versus pickup. It's just like, just for whatever reason, like, yeah, pickup like,

or rec league. It's like really like they, they actually play defense the whole time. Yeah. I'm like, can you just lay off me and let me shoot a shot? Like, that's all I do.

Uh, we could talk about pickup basketball. Yeah. Let's talk after we talk about check. I know you're pumped to talk about check this week. Yes, I am. Dude, I am, dude. I've been Chiked up today.

Let him hear it. Let him hear it. Chike, Chike, Chike. Chike, Chike, Chike. Oh, man. Chike is back as a sponsor. We can look at what they want us to say, but here's what I want to say from the heart. Go.

First of all, I was trying to think of a chike uh pun for heart but i couldn't think of it um just no order oh that's not bad check order jh yeah um triple chike pass oh oh oh boy i might need a quadruple chike pass surgery my pulmonary chikery all right you speak with art you speak all right okay basically i'll just say this they have these this new line of um new naturally sweetened uh options and it is so good trike was already very good in my opinion this is like next level amazing good like i think whenever you have something that's artificially sweetened with Stevia or with, uh, you know, sucralose, aspartame, whatever it is, you kind of just know,

like you, you drink it, but in the, in your head, you're like, okay, I know that's a little bit of the sacrifice, that little weird aftertaste or whatever. Sucralose going on right here. Yeah. That kind of comes with it. You know, this new one is, um, naturally sweetened with something called Reb M, um, which time and look that up for me real quick. I believe it's something, it's something about like it's extracted, I think from, uh, the sugar plant sugar cane. Um, but confirm that for me.

All I, all I'm going to say is that it's really good and it doesn't have the after it used you wait for the aftertaste cause it tastes like trike still. And then it doesn't have it. Guess we're done. Oh, snap. This is just really, really smooth, really, really nice tasting stuff. So, uh, if you've had trike and you love it, you're going to love this even more. If you haven't had trike yet, try this, the naturally flavored, naturally sweetened stuff. If you tried trike, didn't love it the first time

come back around. There was even a Facebook comment about that. Like I remember trying trike. I didn't love the aftertaste. Oh really? Yeah. I literally saw that comment. Dude, it is, this stuff is awesome. Uh, it's just, it's just that much better. So time and you figure it out. Yeah. I think it's, it says it's a molecule found naturally in the stevia leaf or something like that. But it said, I think I saw something. It doesn't have the aftertaste that a lot of people get from like stevia or something. Right. Yes. Stevia. I like stevia more than sucralose and aspirin and all that stuff. But like, you've been known to zeve it up. Yes.

I love, I love, yeah, but, but that still has a little bit of an aftertaste to it that this stuff, I don't know if it's one of those things where people just haven't heard of it yet or what, but this is going to be like the next big thing.

So if there's a Reb M, um, stock, I want it. I get in. Yeah. Reb them. Reb them.

So, um, yeah, anyway, trike trike.com. I like trike.com. All of them are going to get you there. Um, but they have all different flavors, all the classics there. Um, I'm currently drinking the vanilla latte. It has, you know, it's protein iced coffee for those who have been

living in Iraq. Don't know. Yeah. Um, so it's a lot of protein to, uh, two shots of real espresso of espresso, one gram of sugar. sugar yeah maybe uh two grams of sugar now with the rev m but natural sugar that's right that's right that's right um promo code is ghost runners all one word and check.com is chike link is also down below yes so anyway we love them you're gonna love them let us know what you think of the new Naturally Sweetened.

Okay, pick up basketball. Yeah, we went and played at a church a couple nights ago. And it was, it was, uh, it was a fun time until it wasn't. I, yeah, it's interesting. I feel like I'm definitely losing my competitiveness as I get older when it comes to a lot of things, especially pick up basketball. I'm just like, let's just go and run around. I mean, just run around and do cardio and just like, you know, not take this too seriously just good you know reason to exercise uh but then again i say that and then i played a game where we're playing to 11 i think

you talked about that last week like they're maybe i was off the pod but long games when there's a bunch of people waiting long game seven time and just in the future when you guys didn't pick up basketball leagues 11 takes a while 11 takes a while when no one's really that good and i went a whole game without touching the ball and i was like all right i'm out of here okay that just straight up without touching the ball i thought you said without shooting the ball no no i touched it one time on our side of the court they inbounded me the ball and then i passed it to someone that was the only time i touched the ball like a 15 minute game so it's like like that. Well, that was okay. That was actually not fun. I'm not just here for cardio, I guess. Um, cause that was pretty miserable. And, uh, I don't know if I got the new guy

treatment or if it was like the, none of us really know what we're doing treatment. That's what I said last week. I was like, people weren't that good. I just wasn't good either. Like, like these guys were just younger than me and therefore yeah i don't know yeah it's like it's not great basketball it's not there's one guy that's very very good um and he guarded me you would think they would see like okay the best player is guarding him or maybe that's why they didn't give you the ball though no but that wasn't the game i don't think that you oh yeah i don't think that was the game i took one shot made one shot in an hour and a half it was awesome it's good it's so sick that's so sick i don't think that you oh yeah i don't think that was the game i took one shot made one shot in an hour and a half it was awesome it's good it's so sick that's so sick i don't think i'll

be going back really yeah it was it was not a fun time oh i'm sorry that's okay uh but we were we got done and we were doing some cameos in the lobby yeah and uh we're goofing around sarah ming's birthday yeah and we're just being you know loud and crazy and then someone gets injured and so you can just hear the gym just get so quiet and we're trying to loud and crazy and someone gets injured. And so you could just hear the gym just get so quiet. And we're trying to be like goofy and funny. Okay, Sarah May, happy birthday. We're singing to her. And they're like, okay.

Yeah, we're like 20 feet away from, like normal people could see us. Timon couldn't see us at all. Like, okay, someone just got injured. We're like, do we stop this or just keep going? I just want you to know, your support means the world to us. We're really excited to see you in Gulf Shores.

It's going to be awesome. I cannot wait. I just, I'm ecstatic. Yeah. I want to cover my mouth right now. It's so fun. Tell Daniel I say hi. Tell him what's up.

So she got the most 50-50, like high energy and then low energy. Because the guy got hurt and then he like kind of like he hobbled out into the hallway where we were. And so we couldn't just be like. Other people are checking on him. So we're just like, hey, seriously, we're not going to redo this. So, Sarah, I hope you enjoyed that cameo. Yeah, and then a guy got really mad halfway through. Yeah, that's funny too.

That was odd, dude. Like I haven't played. This is only my second week playing there. And the first week I played there, he was normal and cool. But I think it's because he just won every time. I mean, he was the best player by far. He was very good. And you could tell he was going at like 50% speed the whole time.

He was wearing a hoodie and sweatpants. Those dope shoes. Yeah. Uno, like Uno, the card game did a collab with Nike, I guess. Really cool. Fun shoes. Yeah. And anyway, but he starts yelling at this guy on his team.

And the guy's like, dude, what are you talking about? He's like, I'm saying you don't care about it, man. You don't care about it. And he's like, we're in a church. I don't know, man. Yeah. Well, he got kind of like that in the game that we played with him, too. Yeah, the game before that.

Yeah, because we had won one game, and then we played another one, and we were down like nine to four or something. He's like, come on guys, act like you care. Come on. And I, you know, I'm all about like, okay, I'll try to rise up to the occasion, but I'm like, I'm not going to be annoyingly like affirmative to him. Didn't you, you started saying something though.

I heard you after a while. What? After he was like saying, he started blaming Neil for cheating. Oh, didn't you start barking back at him like, stop cheating, man? Oh, I was I was jokingly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So so we were kind of making a little comeback. I think it was nine to six or something, maybe ten to six. And yeah, whatever they called it. Like this guy, Neil called a foul half court, which is not the most common thing to do in pickup basketball. But hey, if it's a foul, it's a foul is his opinion on it.

And so Neil called the foul. This guy was not happy about it, said it was cheating, which it's not cheating. There's nothing cheating about it. Cheating would be like saying we have more points than we actually do. Yes.

Or just it goes out of bounds and you just say that wasn't out of bounds. No, no, no. No. Yeah. That ball went in. It was an air ball that hit the net. What's your vision in numbers?

I bet you didn't see it. Yeah. And so this guy, I mean, from across the court was like, all right, keep cheating, keep cheating, keep cheating. And so. He kept saying it. It was awkward. Yeah.

And so, you know, I got close to Neil at one point. And I knew Neil a little bit. I got met him. He's friends with Luke Hoagland, met him last week and talked to him. So I had a little bit of understanding of how, what kind of humor he had. And so I was like, Hey man, he just stopped cheating, dude. Like I just kept doing that. We all see it afterwards. I was like, I bet you're a huge Astros fan. You love the Patriots back in the day. You know, all these different references to cheaters, like big Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds fans. All even throwing Pete Rose.

Loved him too. Yeah. He's a good guy. Yeah. That's funny. So yeah. And he, and then like after the game,

which we ended up losing like 11 to eight, like we came back, end up losing because that stud of a guy actually threw the ball to the other team. And the guy had an easy layup, but I was saying good game to everybody. And I was like, Hey, way to cheat. Hey, you did what it took. because that stud of a guy actually threw the ball to the other team and the guy had an easy layup. But I was saying good game to everybody, and I was like, hey, way to cheat.

Hey, you did what it took. Good cheating. Good cheating. Anyway, fun times. Yeah, and it got like – there were some harsh words, though, said. It wasn't a church league appropriate words that he was yelling out. Yeah, just the intensity did not match the skill level. Yeah.

It was a little weird. Mother, love, and punk, you would say. I was like, aw. You're familiar with his relationship with his mom? You are, yeah. That's cool. And he helps get firecrackers started. He's a punk. So you don't have to keep lighting it over and over again.

Yeah. All right, next up, let's do one of the new segments we're bringing, because I'm really excited about them okay up to you which one you want to start off with um let's start let's go half-baked ideas okay you want to half-baked business ideas yeah i'm excited you know we talked about this last week some and so you guys are all familiar with them i don't have any new ones but jake has some some good ones and i wrote down some good ones from uh the ghosties as well cool i also have some from, uh, from our

friend Garrett Gibson. He threw a few in there. So, um, this is a great, like if you ever want to collaborate and like have some fun banter with your friends, I think this will be a fun thing to like talk about at a party or even at a group chat. Like, cause everyone at some point has had a business idea and it gets way better when you kind of, I mean, it just has to be half baked, even quarter baked, just throw something out there. And then somebody else is like, well, what if you did it this way? And they're like, oh my gosh, yes. Yeah.

We're going to start off with some simple ones. Great. Just one at a time. Soil oil. Well, that's a little tough to say. Hey, have some soil oil. When I write it down, it looks just fine. Soil oil.

Soil space oil. Say it fast though. Maybe it doesn't need to rhyme. Soil oil. Yeah. Maybe I should come up with a new name. Hey, quarter baked idea. Yeah. Soil oil. just fine soil oil soil space oil say it fast though maybe it doesn't need to rhyme soil oil yeah maybe i should come up with a new day hey quarterback idea yeah soil soil oil pozoleum pozoleum pozoleum yeah soil oil okay doesn't even need to be oil we can get off the gas thing uh this is just a top soil okay that changes drastic colors when it needs watering okay rachel's always wondering does it need more? Did I put too much water in it?

Okay. Because really all you're having to go off of is like dark brown versus medium brown. Okay. That's really all you're basing it off of. Yeah. But what about some soil? I mean, this is pink when it's thirsty. This is bright blue when it's full.

I mean, these are drastic colors. Or should it be like a cool color when it's healthy? Because maybe you want it to be healthy. Yeah, yeah. Maybe you want it to look cool. Or maybe, yeah, it just turns black and brown when it's healthy because maybe you wouldn't maybe you wouldn't be healthy yeah maybe you want to look cool or maybe yeah it just turns you know black and brown when it's healthy like it looks normal right because you don't want a pink plant but you might that's my point maybe you would yeah if you're some people out there like very uh like gross looking color when it's when it needs water so you keep it watered that's what i'm saying yeah i think the

pink would make it be like oh my gosh it's embarrassing i have pink dirt i need to water it yeah okay that's fair i need to water it okay glad i told me i'm on there yeah yeah i don't have the name soil oil soil oil luckily you won't have to say it that much you'll see it on the box like oh that's cool hey can you go to home depot and get soil you guys have to say that one time because it's that good because you will keep it healthy so you won't need more soil yeah cool i like that um top soil top oil what about that throw some words in between it top soil top oil yeah okay uh pin soil pin soil there we go collaboration with the you know automotive oil brand um matt dole suggested a restaurant that only serves drinks we call it just drinks uh. Uh, no, uh, this one actually, I really like, we actually talked about off the podcast last

week. Oh, is it pasta? Yeah. Josiah, go sin. Yay. Go sin you. Um, yeah. Fasta, which is pasta faster.

Picture a subway for pasta. You come in. The first thing you pick, uh, is your noodle, like a linguine, spaghetti, whatever. It starts to boil as soon as you place the order. And once it's done, next thing you choose is your noodle, like a linguine, spaghetti, whatever. It starts to boil as soon as you place the order. And once it's done, next thing you choose is your sauce. And then it gets tossed in your noodle. When it's done boiling, you finally add extras based on what you want.

Mushrooms, chicken, shrimp, what have you. It's your pasta. I really like pasta. Boxed and ready to rock in about 12 minutes. That's a long time, though. That is kind of a long time. Why not have the pasta ready in plain? Yeah, Chipotle style. it doesn't need to be in

large quantities but you know every 30 minutes you get some new pasta thrown in a little tub yeah as long as it's like fresh enough yeah and warm i think that's chipotle's thing fresh enough fresh enough yeah i like fast slogan chipotle fresh enough it's you get. It's fine. Yeah, I like... What? Fasta is the name. Okay. This one is Coffee Blackner. Okay, this is for people who, you know, they drink caramel lattes,

but they want to give the impression they're drinking black coffee in their mug. Yeah. So it could be one of two things. This can be like a powder you put in after the fact that just turns your coffee back to black again. Or this is just like black creamer potentially. Okay. Like it still sweetens the coffee. The sugar, you know, is not going to change the color too much.

So that seems easy enough to get some food coloring in there. Yeah. And the milk and the cream. Yeah. And the syrup. Or maybe just like a, yeah, a catch-all powder what'd you call it coffee blackner coffee blackner i love it katherine's gonna love all the chemicals you're adding to everything i do like that though because there is a such a power move when i'm i feel different

when i'm drinking black coffee yeah like every once in a while you know yeah i'll have a black no no no creamer and just think about yourself in like a you're in a meeting at work you're in a while, you know, yeah, I'll have a black. No creamer. And just think about yourself in like a, you're in a meeting at work. You're in a boardroom. Yeah. If you've got some coffee blackner on you, you're going to pop the top

on that Starbucks. You're going to let other people see. Yes. Oh, I got a little view of it. That was black coffee. This guy means business. Holy cow.

I respect him. Say yes to them. Yeah. Or even just like you're ordering a messenger coffee. Can I get a caramel latte 12 ounce for here? And can you put some coffee black there in it? Absolutely. And they say, just like order for Jake. Thank you. Piping hot black coffee. That's me. I mean, yeah. Even if

it's not like as black as normal black coffee, there's just even in a respect of like, well, this guy likes a little cream. That's fine. But he's not going to inundate it with the stuff. It's not light brown. Yeah. It's still pretty dark. Yeah. I mean, no one like, and I am, I'm chief among them as far as centers go, but no one like loves, like no one's like, whoa, look at that guy in his cool ice latte. No, no, no. You don't get respect that way. No, no. And I, I'm, that's what I drink almost every time. So I'm not, I'm not dogging on you. I'm just saying it's not cool. Um, coffee blacker. I like that. That's right. Um, okay. Uh, Mike Harris, uh, basically said when you have a massive event, like a birthday party, graduation party, baby shower, et cetera, and you get a bunch of

gifts and then it's time to write the thank you notes for him. He's like, no one wants to do that. How about somebody else that writes thank you notes for you? He's calling it, uh, the, the, the business call is called you're welcome. We got it from here. That's the whole, that's the whole business is called that. Yeah. You're welcome. We got it from here. Wordy, but so it's the business. The business is deals with words. It's literally wordy. Yeah. Uh, so it's a company that writes thank you cards for you. You pick a template for your thank you cards and someone writes and sends them out because nothing says thank you. Like someone else doing it for you. Yeah. I mean, picking a template and sending it out is what people are already doing for thank you notes anyway. Right. You kind of choose your own

template and just, but I guess you have to physically write them. I'm a big, like, that's why I struggle with thank you notes, not struggle, but that's why, yeah, I, I want to make sure they're all very personal. Like, I want to like, you know, I don't want it to be like, Oh, he clearly wrote really big. So it filled up the card. Like, I don't know. I want to like say really nice things like that camp. Remember when you had to do penmanship? That's what we call it. At least like the letters to the parents and stuff. Oh, I just, yeah, we didn't call it that, but I don't know. Yeah. I just like, it was like, make it personal, you know, whatever. Some of my friends would write so big.

And I, I have pretty small handwriting anyway. And so it took me forever to do those things. I remember Rachel and I writing a thank you note to my parents for the, the wedding and everything. And for some reason I was like, we should write it. Cause Rachel was like,

should you write it? Do you want to write it to your parents? You know, whatever. And I was like, let's go every other word. And we got done with that. And I was like, man, that was a whatever. And I was like, let's go every other word. And we got done with that.

And I was like, man, that was a bad idea. You can only read every other word. You can only read Rachel's handwriting, basically. Every other word. And we didn't really know where we were going with this either. So it's kind of fun. It was like, oh, you wrote the. Oh, okay.

I was thinking we were just, okay. I can reword how I was thinking it. Okay. Yeah. You just put a period down. I don't think that counts as your word. That's funny. Yeah. I like it. You're welcome. What was the rest period down. I don't think that counts as your word. That's funny. Yeah, I like it. You're welcome.

What was the rest of the title? You're welcome. We got it from here. You're welcome. We got it from here. Yeah, it's a little wordy, but so is the business. Yeah.

Some companies don't know how thank you notes businesses are done. I like it all. I like it too. All right. Next, Microsoft Paint. Okay. businesses are done yeah i like it all i like it too all right uh next microsoft paint okay i'm tired of the ink running out in my printer first of all it's running out all the time oh could it be a scam call no it's not it's jensen harper that's the opposite no we'll call him back okay um tired of the ink running out in my printer.

Trying to find a solution to this. Like, I don't know what else we have. I don't know Braille. You couldn't just, you know, but, because then it's also like, well, you can't just go buy just ink. It's like, you got to Google what kind of printer you have. And like, do you want high efficiency ink?

Do you want the extra wide load of ink? You know, some printers can handle that. Do you want cyan, mag load of ink? Some printers can handle that. Do you want cyan, magenta, whatever? Yeah. I just want paint. I just go and just buy paint. Okay. And that's what I just fill up my printer with. I want to make it easy.

Oh, okay. And that's what, you know, barcodes and shipping labels, they just put paint on them. So it's printer paint. Printer paint. Yeah, you just, you get to go to, like, that's a great idea. I'm getting pumped about this now. Thank you. No, it's printer paint printer paint yeah you just you get to you get to go to like that's a great idea i'm getting pumped about this thank you no it's just a printer that just allows like home depot paint yeah yeah like any paint find any paint you want out there that's what i'm saying yeah it's because the main problem is like me having like i can't just go and buy this i can't just go tell rachel hey you go pick up some ink yes it's a process to have to google

and find just it's such a racket like can you go get black paint? Yeah. What kind? Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Get it. Rust-oleum, oil-based, water-based. I don't care. Matte, satin. Glossy. Semi-gloss.

I don't care. It'll look good. Primer. Yeah, black primer. I don't know. If they have it, get it. Black primer doesn't exist, but that's a great idea. Black primer.

Black primer. Primer blackener. So yeah, just something to alleviate. I'm just tired primer, blackener. Yeah. Um, so yeah, just something to alleviate. I'm just tired of the, the ink problems. Yeah. I think that's,

that's a great word. Microsoft paint. Yeah. Do they have ink subscription services? Now there's an idea or, uh, like a sensor that like knows when you're getting low and orders it for you. I,

surely that kind of exists, but like it needs to exist better because it just, it's just so annoying when you're running low on ink. Cause sometimes maybe this is the issue. Maybe it's kind of like when your car says you're running low on gas and you're like, I got a quarter, a tank. Ink dude. Once it tells you too late.

Disagree. Really? Disagree. Sometimes. Yeah. I think sometimes it's like, that looks fine. We're running low on ink. Okay.

That's fine. And then all of a sudden it's like, yeah, I guess it did tell me I was running low on ink. Yeah, I had Rachel print something for me, and she's like, it says it's out of ink. I got no heads up of this. Yeah. I would have known. It's my computer. And ink, these days, doesn't feel like it goes as far.

Something's up. I think so. Biden's ink. Big ink. Big ink ink. Okay. Tom Webb said a chain of dog slash animal tenders. I don't know if that's the right word.

I don't know that word very well. Vendors tenders that you can drop your dog off at across the country. So you can travel with your pet. And when you go somewhere, pets aren't permissible like museums, et cetera. You can drop your pet off and pick them up. Once you're done,

you pay a membership fee and you're good to travel wherever you want with your pet and not have to worry about making arrangements when you're gone. I'm already thinking bigger and better here as far as the tenders go. I think this is a whole business set up for people traveling.

So yeah, it's a big three-bedroom type house where, yeah, we'll watch your dogs in the backyard, but guess what? You could also take a nap here because we know you're traveling. You're coming through for the day. You could take a nap here. Come eat a home-cooked meal. Yes. Where, yeah, we'll watch your dogs in the backyard, but guess what? You could also take a nap here because we know you're traveling. Okay. You're coming through for the day. You could take a nap here. Yeah. Come eat a home cooked meal. Yes. It's like a bed and breakfast with dogs. Yeah. Or if you want, we got, we got cold, cold vendor or cold coolers where you can just take something to go if you need to either, either, or I remember always wanting that in Branson.

I wanted like someone to offer like a little nap pod for me. So it's like, I don't, I don't have a hotel. I don't have a place to stay. I'm just on a day off from camp, but I want to nap. Yes. And I'm in my friend's car. You know, I wish they could just drop me off somewhere. Yeah. I don't want to pay for a hotel to nap.

Just a, yeah. One, one hour. Yeah. Whatever you want to call it. Like bring the nap to me almost like nap Uber, you know, kind of thing. Like you can get an XL, you can get a nap black uh you can get nap blackener you know like you know blacked out windows that'd be nice yeah just something for people on the road they don't have everything they normally have they don't have

their home they don't have their dog watchers they don't have their babysitters yep you provide that for people traveling i think it sounds good next rain, rain curtain. I've talked about it before on the podcast. Since umbrellas were invented, there have been next to zero advancements to the umbrella, which I think is interesting. We can't think of anything better. Uh-oh. Insert me.

Insert rain curtain. Normal umbrella. Uh-oh. This is some of that Forrest Gump, a little bit of sideways rain. Yes. Press the button. What was that? that curtains come down

the umbrella now you're fully enveloped head to toe nothing's getting in i love this curtain just fully covered it's like a it's like a toll booth yeah you know it's a walking toll booth walking toll booth yeah it's like a it's like you draped a shower curtain around you, but then once you get there, I mean, you are completely dry when you get there. That's genius. And then you get there, and you do have to roll them back up, but that's just part of it.

No, no, no, no, no. No, you don't have to roll them back up. They retract. The button does, if the button can take it down, the button can roll it up. I'm okay with that. Jake's done the R&D.

He knows he's like, you can't get the roll up. It's too expensive. It doesn't exist yet. The price point doesn't make sense for that. Mass production done the R&D. He knows he's like, we can't get the roll-up. It's too expensive. It doesn't exist yet. The price point doesn't make sense for that. Mass production, it's going to be tough. $189 for the roll-up, and I just don't think people are going to spend that.

What will the price be? $79.99. Which one? What? Where's the decimal? What did you say? $79.99. Ooh, for a rainy curtain?

Yeah. Ooh, I think we're going to need to get that down. You think so? For mass consumption? Ooh. I don't know. There's some nice umbrellas out there these days yeah i don't really know what umbrella costs oh they run the gamut i go 49.99 i really like that though because i i mean obviously umbrellas do some good kind but like yeah every time i'm using an umbrella i'm using it with somebody else because if i'm'm by myself, I'm just going to run. I'll just jog.

Yeah. And so I'm always like, I'm still getting 60% wet under this umbrella. So rain curtain sounds awesome. Yep. I love that. Thanks. Josh Vargasy, half-baked business idea, soup swap. As winter approaches for those of us in the Midwest,

often you're making large quantities of soup that you tire of eating numerous days in a row. Introducing the soup swap app that allows you to find, in all caps, hot local soups in your area. Now you get to switch it up and get introduced to all different sorts of soups and recipes throughout the season. I'm seeking a $500,000 investment in exchange for 5% equity. Ghosties, let's get swapping. So you're just swapping home-cooked food with other people? Swapping soups.

I love that. I don't know. No? Neighborhood soup swap? Swapping soups? Do you have swap soups with you? I don't know. I would swap soups with you, but not Dennis. Dennis? I would swap soups with Dennis before I'd swap soups with you.

Dennis has the nicest lawn on the block. I just feel like Dennis, there's got to be like mushroom in his soup. There's going to be weird crap in there. You're going to try it and you're going to be like, actually, I just learned I kind of like mushroom. Thank you, Dennis.

Hey, look who finally did shrooms. Me and Dennis. No, Dennis's soup would be nice, dude. All right, what about the people who live between you and Dennis? No way I'm doing their soup. Oh, the people right next to you over here? The people who always have domestic disputes.

Wait, who? The people with all the trucks. Oh, right across. I do not want their soup. No, you can choose. You have to get soup matched. Yeah, you swipe right. Yeah, there's like credibility.

It's like, hey, what are your preferences? I can't eat red meat. Okay, then therefore, you know. Good luck finding a match. Yeah, I can't give this guy, I can't swap chili with this guy. I'm only getting chicken noodle from other people. Yeah, chicken tortilla, you know, all the different,

there's plenty of good stuff out there. But yeah, definitely not. Those people aren't souping. There's certain people that are not soup people and those people are you know casserole people maybe maybe maybe uh you know just sandwich people cold cuts those people seem like literally all four of their cars are trucks and that in that yeah truck people exclusively truck people aren't suit people it is soup season i've had soup twice twice recently. Rachel's raising a big soup kick right now. What kind you had?

Chicken? Like creamy, brothy? A little bit of both. Last night was more of a broth soup. It was like, what did Rachel call it? Tortilla soup or something like that. That's always good. Mexican chicken soup, something. Pretty. Yep. That's always good. Mexican chicken soup, something pretty solid. Yeah.

Good broth. I like soup when it's the right temperature. But if it's above 50 degrees, Catherine brings a soup, maybe even 60 degrees. Maybe I should say I'm not that picky. I'm like, I don't really want soup right now. No, it's too baseball song. All right. Tube swap.

Thanks, Josh. Here's one from Garrett Gibson. Scales. A gym, like a workout gym, where membership starts off at a certain price, but the more you go, it lowers your payment for the next month. Okay.

So your price scales as you go. Okay. He said it's a gym that actually wants to help you instead of drain your money. It wants to reward people for going to the gym. That's interesting, Garrett. I like that. Could you also get rewarded for losing weight on the scale? The scales of the scales? Yeah. Because I would be enticed by that as well. That's fun too. And then here's what they do to, you know, business model to help themselves as well. have a mcdonald's

inside to tempt you yeah yeah that doesn't count as a visit though like you can't just go in and have mcdonald's but like it's like hey good job you came in here you're losing weight psych have a triple thick milkshake triple thick remember they used to call them that yeah that was how they branded them yeah that's funny yeah i do like the idea of a gym with a lot of distractions that's maybe it's its own thing just like just like nfl football's on recliners are there there's a sports book there i mean yeah you know there's a full bar there basically you just want a gym in a casino yeah there's a black jack table just want a gym in the middle of girls walking around

asking if you want drinks cocktails drinks let's take a water please okay sure yeah yeah i think it'd be fun they make a note of that it's a little bit less goes into the scales scales i like that you gotta put a Z on there, though. Scales. Yeah, yeah. Scales. That's good, Garrett. Okay. I got one from, two from Becca Reed Nanny. Just two, just quick ones. If she opened a brick and mortar food joint, she'd do a PB&J place similar to Subway. Fancy breads, different butters, fun jam options.

And a fountain drink machine that has different milks. I like this. I like this. I knew you would. PB&J for Subway. I didn't see that comment. That's nice. Yeah. Fancy breads, different butters, fun jam option. I mean, yeah. So you could go, I'll do almond butter with raspberry jam today. And just to see someone make you a peanut butter sandwich. That feels cool too. Yeah. Anytime Rachel makes me toast, I'm like, wow, thanks for making me toast. I know it's easy, but that's awesome. Thanks for doing that. It is. It's nice.

That's why we talked about the cereal bar before. Yeah, we could go buy cereal if you want, but sometimes you just want one. Yeah. And then in the same vein, she said, if I opened a food truck, it would be called Yo Mama's Grilled Cheese. Cheap white bread, butter, Kraft cheese. No other choices. Sweet and simple.

$5 gets you two grilled cheese and a bottle of water. I'd bank outside the college bars downtown. I think that's genius. I think you do even better than that. Yeah. Don't do bottled water. That's expensive. No, it's not. I mean, compared to like water in a plastic cup,

it's way cheaper. Maybe. Yeah. Okay. But quicker. Boom. Here's your bottle. That's true. It's all about volume. There you go. It's volume cheaper. Maybe. Yeah. Okay. But quicker. Boom. Here's your bottle. That's true. It's all about volume. There you go. It's volume. Link times width times height.

That's right. You got to think about the height. Last one from Garrett. Gibson. Garrett Gibson. It's called Life. Good SEO. Yeah.

Just Google Life. good seo yeah just google life uh it's a place where you come here to this like you know this big building uh and you come to play life life-sized board games okay it's like you bring 16 friends dressed as chess pieces against 16 of their friends dressed as chess pieces harry potter style um you could be the peace and monopoly. There's like legitimate jail punishments, you know, real life community chess challenges. Um, imagine being, sorry, he said, get pounded with a pressure washer as you had some friends act as battleships, but like they bring it to life. Yeah. Um, two, two thoughts real quick. First of all, Gunner said that when he was pledging, uh, in his fraternity, um, as like a hazing thing, they would have to play battleship.

And so the older like members would take half, um, half full bottles of water and the pledges would have to lay on the ground. And the only way they got out is if they got hit in the nethers. So they would throw the water bottle. Sorry, I was just imagining it getting poured into their mouths. Oh, yeah, like water bottles. I see, I see, I see now. Of course, Gunnar loved it. Gunnar's such a sadistic guy, but not sadistic.

That's too strong. But another thing is just like the thought of like you can be the Monopoly pieces. I think that's so fun because I'm pretty I'm pretty sure monopoly has a race car and a thimble. Can you imagine like coming and being like, I call race car and you're like driving around the whole thing. And it's like, wait, I call thimble. And you're just like pushing this massive, like upturned trash can. Yeah. There's 50 gallon trash can around the whole time. That's so fun. It'd be cool. Yeah. What other games would there be? Settlers.

Like you have like actual like sheep that you're herding around. Yeah. And eventually you just have so many guys. Just stay in the corner, please. Just stay in the corner. That'd be really fun. Yeah.

Trying to trade with people and actual settlements. Right. You're on the port. Well, I mean, the Dave and Buster's, they have the Connect Four basketball game. That's awesome. That's really fun. Yeah. I'm sure there's other good ones.

Guess who? And it's actual people. There's a real lot of people standing there. Yeah. Yeah, we're just slowly. This is just going to become a Mr. Beast video idea for him. That is kind of a good idea. Okay, that's pretty much it.

One more. Tristy Brianne has a half-baked business idea called Moe's Nose. Moe's Nose. I saw this one. Basically, it's just when you're in a situation that reminds you of The Office, but you don't know what it is. Moe's Nose would be an app that you can describe the scene or reminds you of, and it will pull up a clip in the scene right away and give you the season and episode.

So this could work for any show hypothetically, but it would be starting with The Office. I saw, I think Samuel Sand commented and he goes, I think that's called Google.

It's called Moe's Nose and it's by Tristy. Moe's Nose. Sorry, I saw one last one from Garrett. This is kind of a piggyback off of your, I kind of like the tool plant,

like you're planting someone. He likes the idea of scheduling someone right before to, to interview for the same job as you, but right before you and just do a terrible job. Yeah. Maybe you're auditioning for a play, the person right before you.

I mean, they, they do a terrible, they forget all their lines. They verbally assault the boss, you know, whatever, just like they are the worst person ever.

And then you get to go and ride afterwards i think yeah i like that idea and i think that you have to have a certain skill behind how bad you are because if you're so bad then it's like people discredit you event like immediately you got to kind of have a little bit of credibility and then all of a sudden it's like okay maybe this guy is terrible yeah i think you're gonna have like an ego to you and then be bad because everyone just like unanimously hates that type of person. Sure.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, inadequate and confident. Cocky. Yeah. That's fun. Yeah. All right, I'll do one last one for this episode.

Save some for next week. Business idea. We start doing unrecorded podcasts. Okay, hear me out. So we would get like a like a studio that maybe serves food and drinks. Maybe there's some

TVs there and you just go with your friends and you're just allowed to talk. Okay. And it's not recorded. This isn't going anywhere. You could talk about anything you want. You can just try to make each other laugh. Yeah. You could talk about maybe there's like an old criminal case that really interests you. Okay. Just talk about it. Let's just talk about it. It's an unrecorded podcast. You don't have to do that. You just catch up with

friends. I like it. The thing is the only issue with this is that the perfect name for this has already been taken by another business that we talked about. What's it called? Uh, life. That's the only, that's the only bummer is that we would call it life. Maybe we could put a Y in there. Life. Okay. Like lift. Yeah. Like lift. Yeah. Life. I like that idea. Just could be fun. Yeah. I mean, I think you could do this with, um, yeah. Places where you would might want to eat, might want to drink. Yeah. Just watch sport, do play basketball together. Yeah. yeah right and just talk before and after have a podcast you could do unrecorded podcasts like on your way to like a vacation like while

road tripping you can do unrecorded podcast okay you could do honestly now you could do unrecorded podcasts like almost anywhere okay you could do unrecorded podcasts while on vacation but then you could have an archive of the podcast just in your brain yeah yeah. Yeah. So if you ever needed to go back and like, remember it, like you might not know all of it, but you'd like, remember like the best times of the podcast and like really go back and be like, that was a good one. That was a good time. You could have photos that go alongside it. Like have a, like an unrecorded podcast photographer who could come and like help you remember some of these more notable unrecorded conversations. Right. And you could kind of even just keep a memory bank in your head of like some of those photos, not completely like you couldn't recreate them, but like you could

remember the time. Yeah. I like that. And I think the thing with unrecorded podcast is you could do it with any age. So you can do unrecorded podcasts with children. You could do it with older generations or you can even do it with peers. You can do it with people that aren't even verbal yet. Like newborns, you can have an unrecorded podcast with them and it can just be like a part of their development. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent. It can be educational. It can be entertaining. It can be political if you want it to be. It's not the most fun to have unrecorded political podcasts, but you can do it. So I like that. Yeah, the toughest part would obviously be finding a studio.

Well, that's the thing. I don't think you need to find a studio. You could. I don't think you need to. There might be studios out there that do serve food and drinks and have TVs and will allow you to do unrecorded podcasts, but I've never looked into that. If not, I don't think it'd be

that hard to find. Okay. Look it up. If not, I don't think it'd be that hard to find. Okay. Yeah. Well, time and look it up. Half-baked ideas. Reb M. Love it, dude. Reb M.

It's not about Brandon specifically. Oh, sorry. There's nothing connected. Oh, this doesn't have anything to do with Brandon Faulkner. No, I'm not allowed to say that there's anything to do with any of that. With Brandon Faulkner, Broncos fan. Right. This is unrelated.

No, I just was thinking this week, and I just realized this week, just how in the dark I was being a Chiefs fan. Okay. What did you realize? The week we got assigned Kelsey. Kelsey helmet. Yeah. Yeah.

Shout out to the ghosties. It's that. No. Brandon showed me the light. He showed me that. Um, no, uh, I, Brandon showed me the light. He showed me the light and what's on your heart. The Broncos are just the superior organization, dude.

They are. They're better in every way. They're cooler. I mean, orange, who doesn't love orange in your logo? You know? Um,

I mean, their fan base is just unflinchingly wonderful. Okay. They have this really cool sound effect of this neighing horse that they do, like 85 times a game. The energy that the stadium just reverberates when that thing goes off is palpable. What about the cheer they do? Probably like 10 times a game.

Oh, incomplete incomplete dude gets me going dude game's not complete oh it's not so i i i've been wrong about them for for years and um you know i i just i'm sorry to all the broncos fan but i am one of you now i i will i will always be rooting for the Broncos completely seriously. Um, why do you have your phone out while you're sharing this from the heart? Cause I want to make sure that I have everything that I promised, um, my heart that I would say out here. Um, yeah. Uh, and, and just as an aside guys, um, I wasn't frustrated when I couldn't find Brandon's text on my computer my macbook

computer because honestly i'm embarrassed that i have a macbook and an apple products rather than an android oh oh gosh guys just if you're if you really know anything about anything the the android is a superior being right being bean bean got it bean Right. Bean. Bean. Bean. Got it. Bean. So just know, guys, that Broncos are the best. Broncos are the androids of the NFL. The best. Yeah. 100%. Just unflinchingly

the best. No one's flinching around here. No one's flinching. So shout out to Brandon. Love you, man. We good? Oh, I'm totally good. Okay. That's flinching. So shout out to Brandon. Love you, man. We good. Oh, I'm totally good. Okay. That's great. Cool. What else is going on with you this week, Brad? Um, I went to Eli McDonald's wedding. It was a fun time. Yeah. I saw a picture of the cereal bar. That was awesome. Yeah, it was a great time. So, uh, Eli is the older brother of Isaac middle middle brother of the McDonald's and obviously Isaac gets talked about a lot on the podcast,

but we were very close with Eli as well. Yeah, I've had a lot of great times with him in life and was really excited to go to his wedding. It was in Manhattan or outside of Manhattan where I went to college and so went with Gunner, which is just a fun time. Anything with Gunner is just great because Gunner just like is effortlessly just the best, you know? Good vibe.

Like he's just like, hey, I'll drive. And oh, by the way, I got a cooler in the back that has, you know, Kill Cliff soda, energy drinks, a couple Celsius, some unsweetened tea and some almonds. That's like, dang, that's cool, man. Packed a cooler. You're a cool guy. Yeah. Gunner might come to church with me and Rachel on Sunday. Okay.

And we're so excited. Oh, fun. Because of the Chiefs-Dolphins-Germany game. Love it. So he's like, I might come. Because I don't know why exactly. I think maybe his church doesn't do an early service or something. They only have one service, I think.

Yeah. So he's just trying to get his church filled as early as possible. Yeah, it's tough because their church, I think, is 1030. That's just tough. Anyway, I think, is 1030. So it's like, that's just tough. Anyway, just fun going with Gunnar. Gunnar did the classic, like, I'm going to get dressed when we get there thing. And we get to the parking lot, and there's, like, people in the parking lot. Yeah.

And he just goes to the back of his car. And, I mean, like, the back of the car is – how did we park, first of all? Reversed in. We reversed in. And, you know, so the back of his car is, how did we park first of all? Reversed in. We reversed in. And, you know, so the back of his car is kind of facing the woods a little bit. But yeah, he just gets ready right there. No problem. Goes to the bathroom.

And I'm like, dude, I'll cover you. He's like, you're fine. But we get there. The wedding was really sweet. I mean, we get there and we see Eli like right when we walk in. We give him a hug and he starts like crying right there. Wow. I mean, we get there and we see Eli, like right when we walk in, we give him a hug and he starts like crying right there. I mean, he was just a very emotional, he's like one of the stronger guys, you know, but at the same time, like very tender, you know? And so had a, had a great time at the wedding. Uh, Isaac and Jake, his other brother, uh, were

the best men, co-best men, uh, did great jobs on their speeches. Did they? Uh-huh. I haven't got to see Isaac yet, but I was planning on asking. I'm going to see him tonight. Yeah. Yeah. He had a great joke that I'm not going to do justice here, but I'll try. Um, basically the first time Desi, the bride, Eli's wife, um, texted Isaac was on his birthday, uh, which if you guys don't know, Isaac's birthday is on Halloween, October 31st, and said something along the lines of like, hey, for Halloween this year, or happy birthday for Halloween this year, you should dress up in your birthday suit or something like that. And Isaac's like, that's kind of crazy to get as my first text from this girl.

That's very crazy. You know, just like she's funny, she's quirky, whatever. Isaac, I don't even think like really acknowledges how wild that was that she said that so it's like this is the first time i'm really talking about this in front of anybody i don't even know if eli knows that she sent me this whatever and he's like um and you know the wedding was two days before halloween so he's like he's basically connected the idea of like i'm not gonna be wearing my birthday suit but eli's getting dressed up a few days early tonight or something like that yeah it was good yeah good. Yeah. It's a good joke.

I was like, that's a funny joke. It's also like not so out there, you know, whatever. And then Jake, his older brother is just even more of a goober and goofy than Isaac. Yeah. I mean, Jake's like, he like pulls out a flask right at the beginning. He's like, oh, I'm going to need some help getting through this. They're like, I'm like, what are you doing? You couldn't have done it 30 seconds before.

Or just like going to need help, like getting through your five minute speech. No, you don't dude. Um, but they did, they both did a great job. They were both funny and sweet in their own ways. They both, you know, teared up and cried a little bit. And I don't know, it's just special. Cause Eli's like the, the, the nice brother, you know, like Isaac and Jake are both great too. But Eli's like that really like sweet tender-hearted kid um anyway so it got done the the best men speeches got done and about time for the maid of honor speech and in between uh old grandpa mcdonald stands up okay and he goes He goes, now, if you don't know me, I'm Eli's grandpa. Do people applaud? No.

No. It's just like, hey, let's stay quiet. He doesn't have a mic. So he's screaming this thing. He's pretty old from what I remember. He's pretty old. And he goes, he says something along the lines of like, now, Eli's great but you guys might not realize this on October 31st is Isaac's birthday so I thought it'd be fun tonight oh no if we all say happy birthday to Isaac and they just sat down

and we're like okay right now and so you know like when no one leads the happy birthday, it's a tough, tough crowd. So you've got different people, different keys and all that. Different speech. Happy birthday to you. Oh, we're doing it in Florida? Oh, yeah. It was kind of a thing to groan through, like, whatever. And Isaac was like, I hated that so much.

Maid of Honor gets up and speaks. Does a great job. And I said before, like during dinner, I was like, I love wedding speeches. I like listening to people honor each other. I can listen to them all night. And Isaac told me later, he's like, I bet you regretted those words. So, so I am shocked that you said that I've like typically. Yeah. And I, I, they're not great in the context of when I said it, I really meant like, I really liked the groomsmen bridesmaid speeches that at the rehearsal the night before.

Okay. Those are the more fun ones. Cause it's usually like a smaller setting, shorter speeches, more casual, and you can hear each other easier and all that stuff. Um, so bridesmaid gets done,

you know, it's kind of like in your head, like internal clock. You're like, okay, it's about time to get party. Let's get going. Uh, my father, the bride stands up. Okay. And you know, it's kind of like in your head, like internal clock, you're like, okay, it's about time to get partying. Let's get going. Father of the bride stands up.

Okay. And, you know, Ty, I don't know how many weddings you've been to, but I feel like fathers of the bride usually will say like something like, hey, thank you for coming. Really appreciate that you're here. But not do like an extensive speech. And, but at the same time, it's like, hey, they paid for this whole thing. Yeah. More than like, that's like traditionally the father of the bride is the one or the's like hey they paid for this whole thing yeah more than like that's like traditionally the father of the bride is the one or the bride's family is paying for it and so yeah there's a little bit of respect there so this guy stands up and let me preface this

whole thing by saying i wasn't going to talk about this on the podcast because i was like that i don't mean yeah eli listens whatever and then as it kept going, I was like, I got to talk about this. So, uh, I honestly, well, is it, is it like, is it too much right now to call Logan Cleaver and have him like, talk about it with us and recap this a little bit? Go for it. Logan's hilarious. I think, uh, Hey Siri, call Logan Cleaver. Logan. It'll work. Don't you work? Logan Cleaver. It worked. Um, yeah. So Logan was there. Logan's one of the groomsmen. It'll work. Lugan Klager. It worked. Yeah. So Logan was there. Logan's one of the groomsmen.

This is perfect because I saw Logan in Dallas a couple weeks ago. I was like, dude, I have to get you on the pod sometime soon. Yeah. Here he is. Rob, what's up? Hey, brother. How are you? I'm doing well.

Are you ready to talk about some wedding speeches? I can. Is this a good time? Give me like 30 seconds. Okay. So yeah, this guy, so you're on the podcast right now, Logan. I'll just kind of preface some things real quick. So this guy gets up.

First of all, well, I do want to wait for Logan. Let's just wait. Okay. Okay. Wait for Logan. Wait for Logan. Okay. I'm ready.

All right, brother. Yeah. I just kind of started prefacing the whole thing by being like, you know, well, first of all, we said the thing about Isaac's grandpa. Do you have anything to add to that? I'm not sure how much detail you gave, but I think, did you, did you preface about the night before the rehearsal dinner? No, I forgot about that. Say that part.

So, so to give a little background on Clint McDonald. So the night before the rehearsal rehearsal dinner he stands up kind of similar fashion to the wedding he just stands up unprompted and he's like i've got one thing to say and uh desi i'm disappointed i'm disappointed that i haven't met you before tonight oh i think think i know why it's because i know the truth and then he just sits down and so we're like okay like what is that so i was i was joking with isaac and jake uh that they should open their best man speeches with i know the truth yeah so, I thought when he stood up at the wedding, he was about to drop the truth on it. Right. Right. Uh, no, but he's saying happy birthday to Isaac. So that was interesting. Yeah. I mean, I mean any other, any other wedding, like that would have been the most memorable,

like unplanned moment of the night. Right. Uh, exactly. But, but is it safe to say that we will not remember that moment barely at all? I think I'll remember it just because of how crazy the night was, but it definitely got trumped. Yes, dude. What's about to happen in the second speech. Okay. Okay. So, so father of the bride gets up to speak.

And first of all, how'd you describe him? I describe him as a short guy, five, six. He has a big new york cop energy so like even though he's not from new jersey he kind of had that like accent and vibe about him yeah if there are any survivor fans out there listening to the pod he kind of gives tony uh from survivor wow really just anybody named tony like he looks like a tony yeah he looks like a tony like he looks like a guy you don't want to cross yeah um he kind of i think he had a three-piece suit on you know he's got like the vest on okay like that kind of energy so uh really like wild

antic at the very beginning of the speech he gets up and right before he speaks he puts a whole strip of bacon in his mouth and starts chewing on this bacon. Okay. Yeah. Okay. This is how the beach started. He's like, uh, I just want to thank everyone here. And, uh, are the, are Eli's parents here? Thank you for raising a good son. Literally this is, he's chewing, actively chewing. It's, it must have been a chewy piece of bacon i mean i mean he was trying to swallow and he just kept chewing for like two minutes it felt like so long he was chewing on this bacon and like yeah acknowledging anybody you could like like like hilariously acknowledging like like caterer still here cateraterers? Let's give it up for the caterers. Blue Vista?

Let's just all around clap for Blue Vista. And like over and over, probably the first three minutes he didn't say anything, but he said so much of the same. He just kept being like, I'm speechless. I'm really speechless. I'm just really speechless right now. The best part was, so he we're five minutes into the speech. He's thanking people. He. I'm just really speechless. I know the best part was, so he worked five minutes into the speech. He's thanking people. He's kind of just rambling.

And then he's like, I've prepared something. Yes. Two pieces of like a stapled paper, but it's like five minutes into the speech. It's like, wait, we thought you were about to wrap up. And now he's like onto his actual speech. Oh dude. Yeah. I mean, and it wasn't like my biggest beef with it was it wasn't like he was talking consistently for five minutes and then brought out something. It was like, he said things in really small sentence fragments of like, uh, man,

this is, this is, uh, this is just beautiful night. It's a beautiful night. And then like, like stop for like seven seconds. Like think about something else to say. And it's like, dude, if you don't know what to say,

look at your speech, go, go with it. And as he's talking, I mean, it's, it's long. We're all trying to be quiet. You know, it's, it's a classic, like, don't, you're not holding the microphone close enough to you. So it's hard to hear. Um, I think he tried to make a few jokes, but I didn't hear him. Like, I didn't really understand what he was saying. Yeah. And I thought it was pretty funny where he'd make a joke. No one would laugh. And he'd be like, Oh, I guess a bad joke.

He's like, I guess that's a bad joke. Okay. It's like, I didn't even hear what you said. And of course a few times Gunnar was like, like laugh, like,

yeah. And so like, a few times Gunnar was like, laugh. And so it's probably genuinely been 15 minutes at this point. 15 minutes. And you think he's about to wrap up, and he looks back at his speech again, and he goes, I remember when Desi was one year old. I was like, oh my

gosh! We're not even close, brother! Yeah. He started at the top of desi's life probably three or four separate times and so then like i mean he's just saying different things it felt like it felt like they were trying to reconcile a few things from their childhood or something um and uh you know near the end every once in a while, like when he would make eye contact with Eli and Desi, you just see Eli, like take his, his glass and like, like try to like, yeah, there were, there were a few times where I was like, I need to just clap.

I just need to clap and in this thing. Like it was just like, it was unbelievable. People are like kind of looking around, like what's, what's going on here. You know, it was just wild. I mean, and I think it genuinely, I, I, I'm not exaggerating. I think it took 30 minutes. No. Yes, dude. 30. It went from sun up to sundown while he spoke. It wasn't like, Oh, it's sun setting. It's like, no, it is completely dark now. Yeah. Well, and kind of how we, uh, preface before, like this guy's energy is a guy you don't want to cross.

Yeah, you don't want to like offend this guy. I think he would have fought harder if we would have tried to shut him down. He would have really leaned into it. So I think we were just kind of sitting there like, okay, hopefully this drags out. But I mean, he broke basically every big rule you're not supposed to do in a speech. Like he talked about his ex-wife and like them having a horrible relationship. Yeah, he did. In the wedding speech with his daughter, like it was wild.

Yeah, he did. Yeah, he was like, don't go to bed angry. I don't know if that's a good idea because then you'll end up just fighting all night like me and your mom used to do. And then at the very end of the speech, he goes, and by the way, my last piece of advice for you, he's like, don't stay here too long tonight. Get the heck out of here and go have some fun. And I'm like, okay, I guess that's how this thing's ending.

Well, I think he also ended it with like, heavy is the crown. Oh, yeah. He did say something about that. He said some ominous metaphor, like heavy is the crown, Eli. And Eli's just like holding up his glass over and over. Okay, okay. Yeah, I got it, got it.

And so then, yeah, it was just, it truly was just like, it almost brought more energy to the dance party because it was just like, we all just went through that together. Like, we got to talk about that. And so, you know, they did the first dances and I joked like, all right, their first dance is going to be to Freebird or something like that. The longest.

14 minute long song or something. So yeah, just all around wild. You were sitting right by Eli, right? Logan. Yeah. I like couldn't look back because the, the actually the video guy was like right behind me. So like I had to be extra locked in. I was like, I can't be the guy on video, you know, like looking around, looking at my phone. Right. Yeah. It was, I was unbelievable.

I've been to quite a few weddings, you know, I went to a Southern school. Um, so a lot of my friends got married young. I've never seen anything like it was unique. It was, dude, it was great. I mean, it was truly like, I don't know if I'll ever see something like that again in my life. Um, 30 minutes is so long and it's like, and I, I'll say it was truly like, I don't know if I'll ever see something like that again in my life. 30 minutes is so long. And it's like, and I'll say it again, like it would be long if he had something for 30 minutes, but he was like going through it point by point. It was like 30 minutes, 15 seconds at a time, you know, that was what was so wild about it. But overall, man, it made for a great memory. I can't imagine Eli and Desi not bonding more through that you

know um 100 so yeah we had a lot of fun man so just want to get your uh take on that so thanks for letting us know yeah thanks for answering logan that was fun to have you on the pod dude that's hilarious appreciate you letting me on the pod uh kathy if you're listening i'm sorry but this is just for pure entertainment that's right all right man We'll talk to you later. All right. See y'all. See you, Mike. That was awesome. I love Logan. He's the man. He's a good storyteller.

That's so funny. I figured something had happened at the wedding because when we were all watching the Chiefs game, Sophie was like, how was the wedding? I was like, it was pretty good. I'm going to save some stuff for the podcast. You didn't really answer. I was like, this should be great. I was like, I can't. Yeah, we got to wait. So anyway, fun times, Eli's wedding. Ultimately though, the Lord was glorified and Eli's married. So that's the exciting thing.

When they got out of there, do you think they went to like a hotel room, Airbnb, Cozy Earth sheets provided? Wherever they went, they were comfortable if they had Cozy Earth. I'll tell you that. Wherever they went, they were probably not as comfortable as they could be if they didn't have cozy earth sheets. Right. I will say that. Yes.

I walked to the studio today. I pulled up our document. I saw that we had cozy earth today and I said, that is good because I went to bed thinking about cozy earth last night. I really did because it is cold in Kansas City right now. It's in the 20s or 30s. And I got thinking in the summertime, I love these cozy earth sheets because they felt like they kind of like cooled me down. But in the wintertime, I love them just as much. It's not like they're a one season sheet. No, they feel awesome. They

regulate to your body. Yeah, they feel awesome, dude. And I just recently I've been like saving my joggers and shirt for like the right moments. Like I didn't want to like break out the I was like, I guarantee you that thing is unbelievably cozy. It's crazy. And Like I didn't want to like break out the, cause I was like, I guarantee you that thing is unbelievably cozy. It's crazy. And so I didn't want to like wear it on like a, you know, Thursday afternoon. And so dude,

you bust it out. Dude, I am loving it. I just, I am, I am now the guy that wears like, I look like I have a pajama set on every single night. Like I have like a black shirt,

like my black long sleeve shirt and my black leggings, leggings. Uh, I don't know. Like joggers. Yeah. have like a black shirt, like my black long sleeve shirt and my black leggings, leggings, uh, joggers. They're tight. No, they're, they're so cozy, dude. I mean, it's unbelievable how comfortable it is. Uh, Bo came and slept in my bed with us. He's been, he's been getting up like two 30, like four nights in a row and come into our room. Not happy about it. Um, but last night we just were like, whatever we give in. And even with him literally like crawling all over me in the middle of the night, I slept just fine. Their stuff is crazy. Whatever they've done with the viscose from bamboo, they've unlocked something that nobody else knows about. It's just so soft and it's so cozy. So go get sheets. If you need them, go get hand towels, go get bath towels,

go get joggers, go get hoodies. They just came out with a new blanket that looks incredible. I didn't even think about blankets. Dude, it looks like the most luxurious blanket I've ever seen in my life. I might have to buy that full price. Wait. Well, I would never have to buy it full price. Well, you can. I would buy it 35% off with promo code GRKC.

No, no. It's not 35, is it? That's a lot. That's like. I know. That's like seven times more than five. That is accurate, and so is the 35% off deal. Wow.

35% off, Cozier.com, promo code GRKC. Get it while it's soft. Oh, which it will be for a while. Which- Genuinely, I think that this is a great Christmas gift for the person who you think, they have everything. I don't know what to get them. I guarantee you, anybody likes being being comfortable and they will like these.

I doubt they've covered themselves in viscose from bamboo. Yes. Whether you're trying to go. Yeah. Even like, like quote unquote cheaper, like, you know,

less expensive, like their socks. I can't imagine. I can't imagine those socks. Like if just get them socks, like that'll transform their winter. And all of a sudden they're thinking, I love winter because of cozy earth. Sokc check them out fun um see what do i talk about right now

i think i want to save for the wednesday episode brand new segment i'm really excited about it's called phony phrases where we just made up like figures of speech and just like things you would hear like you know barking up the wrong tree but we made up our own of speech and just like things you would hear like, you know, barking up the wrong tree, but we made up our own. Yeah. So I'm really excited for what Brad has for us there. I also came up with my own, but I think I'm going to save that for Wednesday. Maybe we wrap this up.

This isn't a half-baked business idea. This is a 60s, I don't know. Yeah, it's basically yes. Okay. But it's not a business idea thought why aren't brands paying people like influencers to post on their close friend story i had this thought recently think about that like if if you're in someone's close friends were on instagram and they're like promoting a product how much much more meaningful is that? Like, wow, they must really believe in this. They're only telling their close friends

this and, and close friends stories almost always are on the front, right? Like, yeah, they're always get like, um, priority priority. Yes. And so you're always going to see them. And so, yeah, people only have 50, 70, I don't know how many people are in the average close friends, but still the value there, the quality there, I want to do that somehow. I'm working with a brand one way or another. I want to do a close friends Instagram campaign. I think that we're doing that with our podcast. I mean, that's basically what we're doing.

I mean, we're not reaching the masses. We're reaching our close friends on this thing. Yeah. But the people that are listening are like really like listening. You know what I mean? Yeah. And so I think it's great.

Let's, let's figure out the same way to do it for Instagram. I know I had that. Yeah. Yeah. Just keep doing it. Yeah. Cause it also wouldn't cost her much either. Cause you're paying someone to post to 60 people.

What's that worth? Yeah. Nothing. And how often do you not click on the close friend story? Like you always click on the green. It's like, Oh, you want me to see something that you don't want everybody else to see it's either it's either salacious yeah or personal or you know whatever

helpful always so so hurry here first someone's gonna someone's gonna do that they're like wow this is genius marketing by skims yeah i thought of it first dude small joy in life is when uh you don't know that you're on somebody's close friends, and then you see that you are. Like Mackenzie Pittman. Shout out Mackenzie. Really? Yeah.

Because you used to hate her. I mean, we went through some stuff. I was like, cool. Thank you. I'm in. Really? All right. Yeah, you almost... There's someone...

I'm in someone's close friend story, and I don't want to reply. So maybe I'm in there accidentally. I don't want to remind them that i'm in there accidentally i don't want to remind them that i'm in but you like being in yeah i love being in yeah don't want to ruin it we got a good thing going right now love it that's great do you have any i feel like i have a couple people that i'm in their close friend story one like i don't know why i'm in here or two it's like they are very different on the close friends than they are on everybody's friends oh yeah, yeah. Like I've one in my specific. Like if you know he is posting close friend story, there is going to be some pretty decent like Republican propaganda in there.

It's like, yeah, no one else would know this. The close friends. Like, oh, wow. Jake doesn't care. I'll post it. Yeah. Yeah. He could talk about his podcast.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can't think of specifically anything, but it's like that's that's half the reason you click on the close friends is like, let's just see. They're putting something out there. they don't want everyone to see yeah which is intriguing you know timing you guys is it is close friends of gen z think uh i don't know i feel like are you on snap you got i am yeah do they have a rarely they have private snaps don't

they maybe i i i had i used snapchat like two years ago like more often but it's snap kind of gone or is it still i think it is or should be i think it's the dumbest more often, but it snapped kind of gone or is it still, I think it is or should be, I think it's the dumbest app, honestly. Yeah. But it's always been the dumbest app. That's true. Right. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. As far as Instagram, I feel like either, Ooh, this is a, it's like scary to think about. It's like either I'm just not on that many people's close friends story or, or. Or, hey, maybe they just don't have close friends. None of my friends have close friends stories. It's really interesting. All of my, I know all these people,

and it just so happens none of them have close friend stories. That's so funny. That's great. That's funny. Oh, that could be so sad. Like a lot of 17-year-olds having birthday parties? No, like no, no. I never get invited.

The trend is over. I mean, people don't really party ever anymore. COVID killed it. I don't think my friends have ever gotten together. Are 17-year-olds hanging out? No, they don't do that either. Gen Z, we don't really text. You don't text your friends in our generation.

You don't meet up, and you definitely don't have a close friend story. That's just our generation, though. We're just different. That's just our thing. Dude, you have some close friends. You're a close friend story that's just our generation though we're just different we're just that's just our that's our thing um yeah dude you're you have some close friend you're a close friend uh poster every once in a while every now and then and it's usually just like a repost of something right like uh in what way like uh you're you're posting a vine or a vine a real sorry um oh yeah it's just something funny that's like maybe a little inappropriate or something

or sometimes not even inappropriate just like quirky and like zany it's just something funny that's, like, maybe a little inappropriate or something. Or sometimes not even inappropriate. It's just, like, quirky and, like, zany. It's like, okay, Jake thinks that's really good. Yeah, X Tyrone. I'll throw that up on the close friend story. Which one is that? Oh, that's an account? Yeah, X Tyrone. It's his Instagram account where they will take videos of people dancing but put in new music behind it.

But he puts quite a bit of work behind it. Like, the BPMs always match up. And if someone is clapping in the video, he adds his own claps and posts from where I can tell. Tyrone, you'd be fascinated from it. i feel like i've seen some of these like or maybe i've seen i've seen like a high school musical scene but it's only just like it's if there was no music and it's just like the squeaks and yeah and the random like yeah yeah but this guy he's not just putting like an mp3 behind it he like puts a filter on it to make it sound like you are in this barn or you are in this gymnasium or whatever and yeah he'll add in claps and stuff

the one that katherine i think you probably posted it and that's how she saw it initially the one where it's like they call me big dude that's my favorite one katherine loves that good it's so good i can't even put my finger on why i love it so much it's just like this like kind of cowboy looking guy it's like hispanic cowboy with a huge mustache. They call me Big Willie. Catherine loves it too. I love that Catherine loves it. Uh, Kay Smitty, fellow Baylor grad with Catherine. He also loved it. So maybe that's why. Maybe it's a Kay West or Baylor guy. Yeah. Anyway. Okay. Close friends. Um, you know, micro influencer. Micro influencing. Micro-influencing. Yeah.

Someone's going to do it. Also, just one thing. I don't think Snapchat has always been the dumbest app. They were the ones who invented stories. I think that's pretty groundbreaking. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, that was pretty huge at the time.

Like, the idea of something being around ephemerally was like, whoa, this is a new idea. Social media has only been permanent. Is that like... Like, disappears. Okay. idea. Social media has only been permanent. Is that like, uh, like disappears. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, it was. I remember when, uh, Instagram came out with stories and I remember Ben Rector saying something on his story on Instagram, like is Snapchat now dead? And people are like, no, you idiot. Like Snapchat is way like people like the stories on Snapchat, Instagram stories are never going to take off.

And now it's like both. Yeah. Yeah. Snapchat has done a good job. They always pivot. They always figure it out. Interesting. You on snap still?

No, I deleted it probably like two years ago or so, but I'm in the know. Yeah. Kind of. Um, I thought of one more movie cliche. Just going to throw this in there. Uh,

cause I was like messing around doing Rachel when like, uh, we talked about last week, different movie cliches, the classic the classic like let go of me let go of me as you wish and then they let go of them and they fall down something like be careful what you wish for then they let go wrong choice of words yeah i don't know why i was saying that to rachel doing some dumb character yesterday i was like oh that's a movie cliche I should have said. Let go, let go, let go of me. Is that what they say on The Dark Knight? It's something like that.

And I think, yeah, the Joker like drops. The Joker and Batman. Yeah, something. Or what's her name? Maggie Gyllenhaal. Batman has to go get her. I don't remember. It's at that one like house party kind of thing that they do.

Anyway. Ooh, wrong choice of words. That was good. That was pretty good. Okay. Never tried it before. Yeah, you're right. I'm looking for the Batman.

I don't know. Next Halloween, you found your character. I'll come out to the guys that come up to my kids scaring them, and I'll already be scared. That's fun. Anything else, Brad? Did we talk about last week how we went to Chick-fil-A with the exact change?

Yeah, we did. Did we mention that we were going to do it? It was fun. We did it. Oh, yeah. I haven't posted that, have I? Idiot. I've been refreshing every hour. Well, he posted his close friends time, and so you're good. I've been refreshing every hour. Well, he posted his close friends, Tymon, so you're good. I forgot about that.

Okay. He doesn't have a close friends. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah. No one does. Yeah, post that today. Fun. Are you on my close friends, Tymon?

Warning. Do not listen to this podcast dot dot, dot, dot, while trying to work out at the gym. You'll be in the middle of a set and then suddenly bust up laughing and drop the bar on your throat. I constantly found myself suddenly grinning ear to ear, holding back laughter

while everyone is just silently and seriously working out around me. I'm afraid I look like a psychopath. Just started listening a few weeks ago and can already call myself a dedicated ghosty, super funny and very wholesome. If you guys are ever in Northern Indiana, maybe for your main street roasters visit, let me know and we can throw down on the pickleball court. Jake, what's your D U P R. That's funny.

was done playing in 2021 yeah so i've never played a duper they call it a duper match because this this didn't exist when i was playing a lot of pickleball so maybe i'll get back into it but i mean probably between 40 and 45 derrick hostetler pretty pretty good duper. Um, one time Rustin listens to the podcast, our friend Rustin, Rustin's older brother is really funny as he's Brit and Brit back in high school, um, made a guy laugh while he was bench pressing. Uh, and I think he, the guy broke his ribs. Oh my gosh, just dropped him. Yeah. He broke something. And I think it was his ribs. Like, I think he just laughed so hard that he couldn't control, you know, because when you laugh, you have no strength. Yeah. Yeah.

Strength is gone. Honestly, half-baked idea. Um, comedians at war. You have hand-to-hand combat and then you had a guy in the corner being like, what's the deal with highways these days? Yeah. You, you hire a guy like during a MMA fight

boxing match to kind of be in his corner making him laugh. The guy on one side already knows the joke. Yeah, yeah, he's heard it before. He's not. No, he's not phased. The other guy just can't help

but just die laughing. It's so funny. Yeah. So, thanks Derek Hostetler. Thanks, Derek. This says, best podcast ever. It's five stars.

From Marty, it looks like. There's also a slash in the middle of her name. So, Marty Backslash. Found this podcast about a month and a half ago and fell in love with it. I was looking for just a wholesome,

funny, Christ-based, just all-around amazing podcast and found Ghostrunners. Helps me get through my days and my ups and downs. Just recently moved, so I listen to every day, packing and unpacking at my new house. I've literally listened to the very first episode to undated and started back from the beginning already do the math on that okay do the english on that okay um so from finding them almost two months ago until now

listen to every episode and start it over from beginning again oh wow now i understand i will do the math on that. That's insane. Two and a half months. Makes me laugh out loud. Just helps me daily. Keep grinding, guys, and everyone watch the Ghostrunners grow and grow and we'll be the best podcast of all times. Everyone on your feet. Very good.

Thank you, Marty Backslash. I like that. Appreciate it. Putting Backslash in the name. Yeah. It's kind of fun. Don't hate it. Man, my nose is itchy. Sorry, everyone watching me on YouTube, just scratching away. Brad, do you have a jingle to end this episode with? I don't necessarily. We're going to improvise one again.

But what we do have coming up for you, thanks to Allie B, we have some great Ad-Read jingles coming up, which are going to be awesome. Oh, that's right. That's right. So be looking forward to those. They're Christmas themed, so I don't want to break them out too early. However, if you follow Ben Rector,

have you seen how he's been doing Halloween jingles to Christmas tunes? Oh, I haven't seen that. I've seen some of his other music that I've been enjoying lately. Yeah, like his little 10-second thing. Yeah, he did these like, you know, all these different like jingle bells, but singing it to about trick-or-treating. And there's something about his voice that's just like, you know, all these different like jingle bells, but singing it to about trick or treating. And there's something about his voice. It's just like, I love this.

He's just so he's got like such a warmth to his voice. It's like you can sing whatever you want in that tune. And it sounds awesome. So time and you did Wade in the water last week. So I just put something in your head now. OK, go ahead and get us started here, buddy. Just any song? Any song.

It came so quickly last week. What's the first one you think of? Right now I'm thinking of Christmas songs. Let's see. Baby, you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed. And when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell. You don't know.

You don't know you're beautiful. If only you saw what I could see. You'd understand why I want you so desperately. I don't know the words. But now I'm looking around, looking at you, and I can't believe. I don't know the words. But now I'm looking around at you and I can't believe you don't know. Oh, oh. You don't know you're beautiful. Oh, oh.
