Get set for Operation Morale Improvement starring Michael Scott. Now, I think I've had a little stroke of genius in that I've had my assistant Pam, smile Pam, I've had her go out and find whose birthday is coming up, so we can have a little celebration for it. Not bad, not bad at all. All right. And the birthday person is, drumroll please, here we go. Who is the birthday person? Birthday person? Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr All right, come on down, Meredith. But it's not until next month. Um, uh, okay. Well, great. Well, you know, it'll be a surprise. You still want to have a party?

Yeah, why not? Sure. Go ahead. Live a little. Come on, Pam. Come on. Shake it up. Shake it up!

Shake it up! Shake it up! Shake it up! Uh, Spock, are there any signs of life down there? Well, let me check, Captain. Eee, eee, eee, eee. No, Captain, no signs of life down here. Just a wet blanket named Pam. Star Trek.

Who brought in donuts? Somebody got donuts for my birthday. Happy birthday! You didn't know it was my birthday? I guess I forgot. Well, I guess I forgot to give you a donut. Are you serious? Are you kidding? Well, I'm not done yet. Dwight, this fits in the palm of my hand. You haven't blown them up enough. Why have you chosen brown and gray balloons? They match the carpet! What is that? It is your birthday period?

It's a statement of fact. Not even an exclamation point? This is more professional. It's not like she discovered a cure for cancer. I can't believe how bad this looks. Are you trying to hurt my feelings? Because if so, you are succeeding. Fortunately, my feelings regenerate at twice the speed of a normal humans okay good then have you collected the money from everyone i'm working on it how much do you have six dollars that's how much you and i contributed dang it jim i said i was working on it episode 28 it's birthday week A little office mashup of birthdays. Birthday week.

Oh. Birthday week. It's a very G-rated Jeremiah song, birthday week. Brad, you just turned 29. How do you feel? 29? I feel very, very much the same, but very blessed by all the, you know, after you, like the next day after you have a birthday on Facebook, you're supposed to thank everyone for the birthday wishes. So you feel very blessed.

So I feel very blessed, but truly I did yesterday. It was a great time. It's too bad. It couldn't have been your golden podcast birthday. That would be nice. We should have fit in an extra episodes. This could have been episode 29. Shoot. Hey, retroactive. What do you, I don't know. We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll release two. Okay. Yeah. Retroactive. That just fixes everything. Retroactive, retroactive. I think

I've probably told you this before, but my friend Manny in college, when that song first came out, he thought it was called ready to rock dude. Ready to rock dude. Ready to rock dude. That's funny. I, whenever I heard it, I thought they were saying, welcome Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo. And I was like, this song is awesome, but why are they saying Scooby-Doo over and over? Imagine Dragons. Scooby-Doo. I'm like, okay. I don't get it.

It's not Imagine Dogs. You're Imagine Dragons. Because if it were Imagine Dogs, that would make sense then to say Scooby-Doo. To sing about Scooby and Scrappy. Wait, how does it go? What did you think it was again? Welcome Scooby-Doo, hey, Scooby-Doo, hey. And they're saying welcome to the new age?

Yeah. I had this random teacher at K-State. He was my sports economics teacher, and he played different songs that he was feeling like he was like into, and that was one of the ones that he played. He was like a really cool dude. Mr. Keister. I don't remember his first name david maybe big gambler i see i've seen him at the casino a few times since then like really into blackjack uh anyway have you heard that thing about the uh dr keister actually sorry what's the lion king song i think circle of life or whatever where it's like. Something about the hippo on my bottom.

Not. Hippo on my bottom. Oh, no. I've heard Pink Pajamas, Penguins in Pajamas. I think that's what it is. Pink Pajamas, Penguins in Pajamas. That's what I heard it was. Not just to me.

Like, I've seen that, like, on the internet. Like, people, like, accept that that is what they're saying. It sounds exactly like it. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. I know exactly what you're talking about. That's so funny.

I thought it was Hio on my bottom, but I don't know. When you're like kind of humming African tribal noises, it's pretty open to interpretation. Yeah. So that's fair. Anyway, did you have a good birthday yesterday?

A great birthday. Jake felt very blessed by all my friends and family. Uh, no, it really was a good time. I, uh, first woke up to the smell of crackling bacon.

Actually? Yes. It really smelled amazing. I, uh, first woke up to the smell of crackling bacon. Actually. Yes. It really smelled amazing. Um, woke up to the sound of crackling bacon. Nice. So anyway, um, yes, I had pancakes, bacon, then went to lunch with my family, Catherine and Hattie. Turns out my dad was there, but turns out a little bit later, my friends Jake and Isaac were there. And then after that, went home, hung out for a little while, got two new tires on my truck. Which ones? Was not planned. The front ones, I think. Okay.

Yes. And then went to dinner at one of our friends' house with all our Bible study small group, which was great. So yeah, it was a very good time. I feel very blessed. Nice. Part of Isaac and I's surprise for you yesterday was that we were going to take you to go get the new Popeye's chicken sandwich.

Right. And part of it was, you know, Catherine was going to take Brad there. And then Isaac and I were supposed to already be in there to surprise you. And I made a little boo-boo yesterday. I got pulled over. And we already talked about this you know this i i got pulled over on this very busy highway for speeding because the uh speed limit drops down to 45 which i was unaware of which is that yeah you shouldn't be aware of that because it's a highway highway 71 yeah it's in the name and you brad tell them tell them how busy highway 71 is in the daytime i don't know though probably not busy dang it's no

it's busy it's busy okay i didn't know where you were going with it i was like it's a busy highway but i know that you said in the daytime i don't know okay sorry well it was like noon basically there are cars all around me and i feel like i got like headhunted by this police officer we're all driving 60 why just me remember my theory because my car's blue no because you had a kansas tag and you were driving in the state of missouri so he hates me he's a statist he's a statist i think so anyway so that was kind of a bummer 120 ticket happy birthday brad oh my uh sorry i guess this could be a quote of the week the i forgot i didn't tell you this yesterday he was a very nice officer at very quick exchange didn't even ask me for my insurance but he just kind of handed me the ticket

and went on with it but then as he's leaving he says try and have a better day oh which i almost caught i was like wait at first it sounded like you just said to have a, have a good day, like the tone of it. But it was like, all right, man, take care of trying to have a better day. I was like, Oh, he just like spit on me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, Hey, be better. Yeah. Do a better job of obeying the law. I was like, you don't know my day is bad. No. Hey, I'm fine. I'm glad you pulled me over. Don't tell me about how my day is going. Try and have a better day. I used to say that to people on Halo every time I killed them. I'd say, hey, get better. That's what I said.

Get good, kid. Hey, get better. Well, it turns out this police officer was on to something because I show up to Popeye's, miraculously still right at noon. So I go, there's a chance if you guys are running late, I could still make the surprise happen. Wrong location. I went to the wrong Popeye's.

So this officer knew he knew i was about to have an even worse day so isaac was like where are you actually went to the other one i went inside of the other one it didn't see isaac or anyone else and uh buddy it's like the cop was right isaac was like where are you i was like i'm having a little bit of a rough day right now i got pulled over went to the wrong one and then they were out of the sandwich yes that was yes poultry pre-poultry of the poultry of the week is a yeah we were we were in line for probably 20 katherine claims 28 minutes we probably moved five spaces ahead in those 28 minutes and then all of a sudden the manager just goes uh hey just fyi y'all, we only have two chicken sandwiches left. And so this guy,

like two people behind me were like, Chick-fil-A and literally we were like, uh, that's why we're here. So, and we're not going to get them because there's people in front of us, like 10 people. So let's go Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A would never do that to us. It's baffling that they could run out of their most popular item over and over again. Yeah. I mean, you think it's a conspiracy. I don't know if I've ever... Conspiracy. You think it's a strategy potentially, correct? Maybe. I mean, just, I don't want to believe that they're this mismanaged. I want to believe that it's strategic, but I'm afraid it might not be.

Well, talk to imagine, there are hundreds, if not thousands, Popeyes in the nation. Surely people that are on the top would know enough logistics to figure this out. Yes. Right. I would think so. It must be strategic, but why would you want less money?

Right. Well, so here's what it is though. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. Because what happened, what almost happened was Catherine was like,

you sure you don't want to say like Popeyes, other foods really good too. And we almost got other food. And then we would have to come back again to get the sandwich another time. And then all of a sudden we're Popeye's regulars. And I've never, never once have I been to a Popeye's. Yeah. Which kind of blew Catherine's mind, but no, never was a Popeye's person growing up. Um, so I don't know, but yeah, that seems silly. That seems like a bad, bad thing. Oh, well, but either way we're talking

about them so good for you the new thing to say though is chick-fil-a would never they would never chick-fil-a waiting in line going up five people in 30 minutes and then getting being out of uh sandwiches at 12 28 p.m your rush hour time chick-fil-a would never ever do that no they would never so anyway sorry i kind of spoiled your never. So anyway, sorry. I kind of spoiled your poultry, Brad. No, that's okay. I have another one. Remember? Okay, good. No, no problem. You have any other, uh, besides birthday or birthday things, any other mediocre life updates from last week? Oh, do I? Oh, do I? Yes. So, um, big thing this weekend was my whole family on my dad's side who my, my family on dad's side, and uncle lives in Florida, and then my cousins live in Colorado and Idaho.

So like way spread out. We don't see them often at all. We were all together. Every single person that's related to my dad on his side of the family, we're all together, kids, everybody. Wow. This weekend, because my grandma hosted us all for this big gala, fundraising gala thing that was associated with my dad's work.

My dad used to work for a community college before he, I almost said passed away, before he retired. Whoa, my gosh. Before he retired. Before he moved on from life. But last year, my grandma was like, that is the greatest event. You know, I loved it so much that I'm going to pay for every single one of, you know, my relatives to come next year. So she like told us nine months in advance, hey, we're all getting here. It was like a super, super nice event. So it was black tie. Whoa. So black tie, you know, black tie. I don't know if everyone knows this. Black tie is not just literally a black tie, but like tuxedo black tie. Yeah. Did you know that? Yes. Um, I learned that after marriage. So I thought good for me. Maybe you

didn't know that. Yes. Um, so black tie wedding and rumor had it that my grandma was so blown away last year that she said, I'm going to invite my family to come every single year from now on. And so to a fundraising gala, what could it possibly have that the whole family needs to see? Well, yeah. Siberian tigers? It's not necessarily what they have there as much as it is like, if you spend money, you get this really, really nice dinner, really great experience. But the money that you spent getting there is the big fundraiser, pretty much, if that

makes sense. Okay. So I was under the impression that we were going to be there every single year. And I kind of put two and two together and I was like, well, I don't want to rent a tux every single year. So I'm going to buy a tux. You're going to invest in this gala. I'm going to be there every single year. And I kind of put two and two together and I was like, well, I don't want to rent a tux every single year. So I'm going to buy a tux. You're going to invest in this gala. I'm going to invest. Gala? Yeah. My dad said gala. I say gala. I don't know what I just said. Some people say gala. Okay. Tomato, tomato, tomato, tomato. Gala apples. Right. Right. So anyway, so decided to invest in this thing. Have a friend, Thomas Cole. You know, Thomas.

I do. T. Cole. Lives in Fayetteville and has his own company that sells nice, fine clothing. And so I texted him, hey, what do you think about trading a custom made Ellis Custom Creations table for a tuxedo. He was like, all for it. Let's do it. Gave him my measurements, had it all. He sent it to me, overnighted it Thursday to get there on Friday. Friday comes around. It is not there. No tux. No tux. And all of a sudden the shipping, like a tracking thing that went from saying it should be their guaranteed delivery Friday by three to guaranteed delivery Monday by three. That's after the gala. Yeah. Gala, gala, gala is at yeah. Saturday night. And so I'm like, what am I supposed to do here? And it's like, I mean,

it's a very nice tux. Like he does good work. And it's also like something that I'm going to spend money on, on the other side with this thing. And then earlier this week, I forgot to tell you this. My dad mentioned, uh, or I mentioned to him like, yeah, I'm getting, I'm buying this tux because it sounds like we're going to do this a lot. My dad kind of like indicated like, yeah, I don't know if we're going to do it very much. And so I'm like, oh, great. Well, I guess I'll have this really sweet tux for this event. And then I'll wear it for a couple other weddings and stuff. Or for like podcast stuff. Right. Um, but then, so now I'm like, what do I do? So I went to all these trouble, like trying to go to like the UPS delivery center, trying to call these people, no dice ended up having to go get the cold special on a black suit, wear a bow tie with it and just

call it good. And so I had like this very expensive tuxedo in limbo. And instead I was the, the, the scrub in a suit and bow tie. And so now I have this amazing tux that I may never wear again in my life. Um, maybe not never again, but you know, there's no like guaranteed every year anymore. So basically what I'm trying to say is if you have an event that you want to go to with me and the needs of tux, you out there, you as a ghoster, uh, I would love to go because I want to, I want to make use of this tux. I even got like this really dope, like cummerbund, like floral black bow tie thing. And I literally have not even opened the box yet. Like, because I'm like so sad about it. It kind of stinks now that you're gonna have to make Thomas a table and the whole time you're making it,

you're just gonna be thinking like, I bet he's going to use this table more than once. I would say that he's going to use it. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Maybe I should make that a stipulation. Like until I get to use my tux, you do not get to sit at this table.

This custom made, yeah. Unique table just for you and your family that can deepen relationships and friendships from lscustomgrations.com. So you wore a suit with a bow tie. Yeah. Is it noticeable just for you and your family that can deepen relationships and friendships from lscustomgrations.com. So you wore a suit with a bow tie. Yeah. Is it noticeable? No, no.

Like to the naked eye. I think you're fine. Right. There's not a huge, huge amount of difference. I'm sure you look dynamite. I did. I did. I looked great.

I looked fine, but could have looked so dope. And instead I was wearing like, you know, $110 suit from Kohl's. You don't like Kohl's? I don't like it as much as Walker Brothers in Fayetteville, Arkansas with Thomas Kohl. I'll shout him out. He does great work. So that's my most mediocre life update is that we went to this amazing, it was the fanciest gala. It was the fanciest event I've ever been to that was not a wedding.

Like super, super nice. Like the who's who of Johnson County was was there oh really really though like all these mayors like their congress people were there like all these people and then like like congress yeah congressmen men and women yes wow owners of like the big companies in kansas city like were there and then all of a sudden my grandma's table, you know, it was like, like J E done, like this huge construction company. And it was like the lowest Ellis family had a table. It was like, it was like, who's the lowest Ellis family, you know? But my grandma was so amazed that we went. So that was, that was the big thing of the weekend was just hanging out with my family. Got great time with them. Um, but the tuxedo, I really am like serious about, I will, I will go miles to

find a place that I can wear this tuxedo. I might just wear it to the next podcast. So we just get like, you know, a formal podcast next time or something. Formal Fridays. Yeah. That'd be fun. I used to work at a bank in high school and it's kind of like the opposite of casual Fridays. We did tie day Fridays. Nice. Yeah. In college we did a white collar Wednesdays. I love it. Like me and my friend group would just wear like love it really nice shirts or sometimes suits to class on wednesday and then i'll sit next to each other at lunch and it started something it was fun it was a highly visual trend so people wanted to be a part of it there you go it was cool and the girls couldn't

do it you know boys only sorry wednesdays you wear pink right yeah we called them mean girls so they couldn't come in uh mediocre life update for me brad yeah i went to a boxing class last night yes i can't wait to hear about it nothing too crazy it wasn't uh you know whatever it wasn't ups went to a better boxing class nice yeah shipping joke what is boxing day that's like a holiday yeah you know what i'm talking about uh i really don't know i don't know either it like makes the calendar like if you look at a calendar it's like on there i feel like yeah which how important do you have to be to make that calendar like there's some like most of the things on there are pretty important and then there's boxing day yeah if you know what boxing day is leave a five-star review um and let us know because i don't someone left me some feedback on the podcast last week and

they were like it's so frustrating when you guys are talking about something you don't know because as a listener when you do know it i just want to interject boxing day i know what it is and i can't tell you it's clearly when washington crossed the delaware yeah it's like i don't know i would i yeah that's someone one of my friends, uh, Kelly was saying that like, she knew why flies go South for the winter. And she was like, yeah. You know, wanted to tell us, but she couldn't. I, well, the frustrating thing is that we both have our computers with wifi right here that we could easily look it up and we're not going to, no, we're not. We're going to talk about boxing. Yeah. So I went last night

and I had been to a boxing class before so i wasn't totally unaware of what to expect but okay went in had felt his form uh emergency contact put the hospital of course figured uh yeah one you know nod to the office two if something happens to me while boxing what's what's my dad gonna do what's what could he possibly do okay okay yeah so jake jake's a little bit hurt right now and uh we're gonna go ahead and uh send him to the hospital now so uh if you're a girl out there you're looking to date somebody go ahead and uh just get your keys thrown up to the hospital make sure you're cute yeah you know what actually i don't really have too high standards for my boy these days just any kind of boy i'm sorry any kind of girl that is single looking to get

married i need some grandkids i need some grandkids up in here stratford missouri is just a little bit quiet these days me and trish just looking for some grandkids so uh go on up there okay that was a good good effort in my dad's voice oh you don't think it sounded like him he's not nearly that country okay oh you gotta accent the funny parts no yeah i said good effort i meant that that wasn't a sarcastic okay i was like that's hard it felt like he was like hey i don't have much to say so good effort so uh kind of like a girl that's like uh like what's she like uh she's nice she has a good personality it's like you hate this girl yeah like if you if you

say she's nice with like a little bit of a tinge like a high tinge oh she's nice yeah uh that was a good effort that's good effort oh bless your heart right bless your heart for trying that good for you good job bud good for you buddy yeah uh okay. Sorry, you went boxing. Yeah, so boxing. Emergency contact at the hospital. Receptionist loved it. I don't think she had seen the office because she came up and found me later. She's like, I read over your form. That was hilarious.

The hospital? And I was like, yeah, I just figured they could help more than anyone else. Okay, anyway. Going to the class, we're doing like, we're getting our bags. You know, you're standing by the bag. You're going to punch for the next hour. Oh, yeah. Did you like have to like like did you size up like the you know each bag like this one's a little too malleable for me i'm used to a little bit a little bit you know tougher skin on there so uh there's about 35 of them they're all identical so i did not size them up i just went to one that looked fine did you think about it much at all like did you say

like hey this one's in the middle you know so people are going to be seeing me more i kind of want to go in the corner for my first yeah well i was wanting to go to the corner and then this the teacher was like hey we're glad to have you jake want to come in here you're early so grab your middle spot best spot in the house all right that's not fair to critique you that's been here five times okay so that is the theme of boxing day okay um not so much critique but just feeling like center of attention and my first time doing something you get red gloves if it's your first time so already nobody else does no one else has red gloves do they have any gloves yeah they have boxing gloves on but you have to like buy gloves

i think okay so already like ugly duckling rudolph type like bright red like everyone sees yeah new guy and then if that wasn't uh bad enough which that's not that bad it was just like i just really don't want to be drawing attention because i don't know what i'm doing here the teacher trying to be very nice and get to know me before class really starts but there's still probably 20 people in this room right now and he's got his like little britney spears microphone on but he didn't turn it off like you he just got done teaching a class so it's still in his mouth and going over the speakers our entire conversation which is a little weird and then he's like so you ever box i'm like no it just seemed like a good way to you know get in shape and you haven't worked out in about uh you know

five months months months what he said he's like so well are you an athlete i was like yeah i played some sports all right where'd you play uh i did football baseball basketball he's like leaning his microphone into yours so everyone can hear hey go ahead and tell everybody what you played go tell the audience and so he's like oh we got an athlete here you guys hear that then brings everyone else into we got an athlete you guys hear that so i'm like oh geez i just don't don't make me right you you want to be like like you said last week you want to uh you know what's it called low play yourself that's not what it's called downplay yeah just low expectations so now this whole i feel like everyone's eyes are on me this three sport athlete with the red glow yeah let's see how good this athlete was yeah and so um that was i mean if there was one benefit of it like

the the speakers aren't exactly top notch in here so half the commands once we get boxing you know because this guy's a little out of breath yeah you know so it would sound sounds a little something like this all right let's see it all right good good all right switch up switch up three two one now yo can i get a transcript of this i don't know what to do even if he's speaking english what did he just call me basically that was so i would just wait till everyone did a transcript of this? I don't know what to do. Is he speaking English? What did he just call me? Basically, so I would just wait till everyone did a sequence of it.

Okay, jab, hook, hook. Okay, now I'll go. I could not hear anything he was saying. So yeah, and when you're in the front and center, I'm just like, everyone is seeing me standing here, looking at them, waiting to go. And so the social aspect of it made me a little uncomfy. But overall, it was a great

workout. Uh, I only missed the bag once. That was pretty embarrassing. Just straight up whiffed once. That's awesome. Was it because you were tired or like off balance or what happened? Like those bags, like you're not punching very far away no it's very hard right there yeah that was pretty embarrassing i don't know if anyone saw we were doing some like combination where it was like you know jab hook and then and then duck and then low give me a low jab hook and then back up high and something with the height difference i went for a big left which also punching with your left arm doesn't feel natural yet you know yeah yeah i just missed a big left hook mainly because okay like did the force of it like come back and almost hit you

like you swung so bad but you missed completely so it like revered back into you not punching myself i was three sport athlete brad or i'm not punching myself anytime soon hey the the bag moves a lot when you're punching it so that was more what it was like you know i'm down and i'm alone i'm expecting the bag to be in front of me and that's too whatever just totally that'll take it out of you honestly it was so exhausting to miss the bag oh just miss just that punch like oh mentally physically that's yeah that's humiliating i'm sure um uh can i come with you sometime or do you have more say i want to i want to come with you sometime and i want us both to wear cut off hoodies like i want i want to wear

hoodies and i want to have the hood up and like kind of like going back and forth like you know like it's go time we can even bring like a little like i would have had these like bells like they have a real bell there i like making fun of this place. They're actually doing the things I'm telling you to do. It's awesome. They, yeah, that's funny. They, they give you free trials. Like I can go within seven days, two more times for free. Really?

So yeah. Come with me sometime. Yeah. I would love like, yeah. And I want to wear like cotton shorts. Like I want to wear cotton, everything. Like I want to be old school, like Rocky Balboa style boxing. Dude, I would love for you to go with me sometime. Just do i mean it's exhausting i don't tell you that like you only go for three

minutes at a time and then you take a break which also we got some overachievers at state line title boxing all right rest you guys get some water we can also do jumping jacks you guys would do jumping jacks everyone starts jumping i'm like i'm getting water i'm not doing lunges i'm not a hero i'm trying to be i'm trying to be yeah here for I'm getting water. I'm not doing lunges. I'm not a hero. I'm trying to be, yeah, here for the long haul. Seriously, no, I'm not kidding. Not exaggerating. No one else was getting water during our break. They were all like doing lunges.

Like people were pretty hardcore there. Wow. It's like, I need this. I've been drinking mainly Dr. Pepper for the last two years. I'm going to need some water. I need something besides high fructose corn syrup. That thing. Corn syrup.

You sounded like the guy in the mic last night. But it was fun. Just like just like you know it brings out something primal on you just to punch right you know so i start i was like we have one right down the street so we should go to it yeah right by taco bell so we can make a day of it make a whole day i get a number seven um go in boxing later so last thing i'll say about boxing day and then we'll move on i got a text this morning from, uh, Tori at title boxing. Didn't even meet Tori.

It just, Oh yeah. I don't know who that is. He said, Hey Jake, it's Tori from title boxing. Actually, I should pull up this text.

She was just like, how, uh, how are you feeling today? Is there any questions I can answer about your class or anything? So you missed the bag one time. A little worried about yourself. You doing okay.

I remember my first time I missed the bag one time a little worried about yourself you doing okay yeah you you should come back people miss the bag a lot i remember my first time i missed the bag three times and uh that's funny yeah we can get you some smaller gloves if they're too heavy if you're having trouble like holding them up we've got some youth large gloves so you could probably fit so you think you're gonna buy your own gloves i think i have to eventually okay but anyway i said hey tori i appreciate you checking in this morning i was

so sore i thought i might never leave the bed again and was already starting to transition into a grandpa joe lifestyle and then next text but luckily i remember that i have a free burrito at chipotle so that's my golden ticket how are you feeling and she said sounds great drink lots of water and stretch hot and single okay all right you're looking at him because i was like i don't think this is automated like this is a real person so like i'm gonna i'm gonna get the same text every day for people it was great thanks so they all make this fun for her tori did not want to have a good time she's willing to be professional i guess that's too bad kind of like that one woman that you tried to talk to like the uh i forget her

I'm so sore. But what did you say, Catherine? Yeah, should Catherine, like Catherine is

the most out of shape, skinny, in shape looking person I've ever met in my life. I would love to see Catherine throw some punches. Like I don't think she could run for 30 seconds right now. I don't think the bag would move

if she punched it. She's like hitting a wall over and over again. I think I got an extra heavy one. Mine's broken. Oh, that'd be awesome. Anyway.

Uh, any other mediocre life updates? We're like pretty far into this. Okay. Yeah. Just real quick. Uh, it snowed this past week and my daughter loves the snow.

We went out and played in the snow, played quote unquote football, uh, where I threw the ball up. She ran and got it and also taught her how to make snow angels. And they were adorable. First time snow angling. Yeah. She's awesome at it. She's so good. Yeah. She's amazing. Best, the best angel ever. That that's a quick one. How's that? That was real good.

I am now. Yeah. It's, it's very hard to keep up with both of my Instagram accounts. Me too already. I'm already like, yeah, that makes me feel better. Cause I'm like, I don't know how to do this. Yeah. It's a little overwhelming. Yeah. Cause it feels like I always have some notification on there. So I have to check it. I like my, my personality is like, if it's, if there's that banner thing, I gotta, I gotta click on it to get rid of that oh that reminds me something i've noticed you doing since in the two days we've oh sorry something uh yeah since we've been sharing an instagram account i've noticed that you will open dms but then not respond to them oh boy why do you do that i'm curious what they have to say but then if that's fine but we need to respond if we're going to open them yeah if

we're going to open them we need to respond if we're going to open them. Yeah. If we're going to open them, we need to respond. Cause then I don't know what they said. Cause I just think they're unopened DMS. Sorry. Oh yeah. That's fair. But Hey, we're learning. We'll figure it out.

Yeah. We'll figure it out. We're very excited. We're going to do a bunch of fun stuff on there. Post some clips, have some competitions and different stuff. When we get into blanks of the week, there'll be some,

uh, hands-on stuff for you guys with the podcast as well. Podcast Instagram. Yeah. Exciting times. The times have never been more exciting. Let's move on, Brad. Do you want to do some voice memos? How do you feel about that? I love it. Good evening, Jake and Brad. This is Megan voice messaging you from Buffalo, New York. On the last episode, the toss-up segment brought back a lot of my own childhood memories, and I'm curious about three additional childhood-themed toss-ups. First, Legends

of the Hidden Temple or Global Guts. Second, Fruit Gushers or Warheads. And third, Rollerblades or Rollerskates. Okay. First, don't know either of those two things. Wait, none of them? What? What? The first option she gave us, I don't know what those were. Me neither.

Global Guts? I knew Legends of the Hidden Temple, but I never watched it. Okay. Is that Indiana Jones? No, it was like a, no. Cool. Some kids show. All right.

But people dressed up for it during date parties and stuff in college. Oh, okay. I was like, oh yeah, totally. Oh my gosh, you guys like a, no, I don't know. Some kids show. All right. But, but people dressed up for it as date, like in, during date parties and stuff in college. Oh, okay. I was like, oh yeah, totally. Oh my gosh. You guys. Yeah. Toss up.

Nice. I'm, I'm the purple guy. I don't know. Yeah. I have no idea what it is. I think it's like temple run. Um, but not really at all. Okay.

Uh, the next one was what? Fruit gushers or warheads. Warheads. Warheads. Warheads. the next one was what fruit gushers or warheads warheads warheads like were the perfect example of like stick it out long enough and it'll be sweet in the end that's it taught me a lot in life i was like like you like you are excruciatingly just uncomfortable for the first 10 seconds and as a kid 10 seconds i remember feeling like these things would never get sweet just like but then it's like oh my gosh this

is delicious sour things i think those were great too though yeah sour things were awesome i still love sour things it's just so fun to feel like you're in pain in a fun way i love getting canker sores at the end of the day when i had sour skittles and just sour skittles were dangerous for your tongue but they were so good though yeah they made regular skittles be like i don't know about these what's what's going on with these i would have to go with fruit gushers though, just because we never had them in our house. They were too expensive. So it was just like, to me, that's still like a luxury item. What was up with the gushers having like paper packages rather than like the silicone, you

know, plasticky kind of stuff? What was up with that? Is that for the, you know, to prevent the gushing from happening pre-opening? Yeah, probably. Hey, we don't need, we don't need, you know, to prevent the gushing from happening? Oh, maybe. Yeah, probably. Extra production. We don't need any, you know, pre-opened gush. No. P-O-G.

So. Here comes the boom. Here comes the gush. Third thing, I'd have to go rollerblades. Never have I ever done either. What? Never have I ever. I'm very bad at balancing myself.

You haven't skated? No. I skated. I tried once with my girlfriend in high school who now, uh, they, somebody else who I make custom tables for. Uh, and I was so bad and I was so embarrassed by it that we were there for like five minutes and I hate being bad at things. And I was like, I can't, I'm so sorry. I can't do this. While ice skating, you just like gave up. Yes. I was so uncomfortably bad. But what'd you say?

Rollerblades? Rollerblades. They looked so much cooler. Yeah. Oh, they were awesome. Like my sister had some and I was like, that's so cool. Yeah.

Catherine was really into rollerblading. They kind of came back in college when she was there. So she like brought them to K-State and I would like ride my bike and she would rollerblade with me.

That's awesome. How cute is that? Pretty cute. Yeah. I love, I, hey, anyone out there there take Brad to a formal event. Take me roller skating. I love going to roller rinks because they play music. Like you get to dance while you're skating. And that's what I love. We can, we can combine them skates and suits. Oh, formal skate night. Yes. Yeah. Um, yeah, the skate city, like I never, never went to a skate

party in my life growing up. Our elementary school would be always, always have those skate parties. Did you guys do those? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. No, never, never have I ever been to one. That's crazy.

I mean. The most experience I have is watching it on the office when they're like deep tracks only. Yeah. I said no hits. He's like, all right, fine. That company reminds me. Thank you for the question, Megan. First all from buffalo new york we talked about this for a second i had no idea until recently like i was like i told katherine hey did you know that uh like chicken wings are really like popular in

buffalo like it's like like people love them there she's like oh is that what they call it buffalo wild wings no idea that that was why and i think think it is. Did it start in Buffalo? I'm not positive, but no way of knowing. We can't look it up. Just like boxing day. Somebody had to really, it was a five-star review and let us know. Uh, but yeah, I had no idea that Buffalo wing, like I just thought about them being the animal, I guess. I don't know. I hadn't really thought about that much. I was confused when I first heard that term. Cause it's like, Oh, the chicken wings are now Buffalo. Yeah. Like a hybrid hybrid wing. Yeah. I don't know. Um, that term because it's like, oh, the chicken wings are now Buffalo? Yeah. Like a hybrid wing?

Yeah. I don't know. That was the first thing. Second thing is we actually, I got a text that reminded me of this voice memo. So an add on a couple of toss ups from Garrett Perkins. He said, best video console equals Xbox hands down, which we talked about Xbox versus PS2. But he said, but most timeless console in 64 agree or disagree i would have to agree i think it really is awesome like as far as the games on

in 64 go they are the most timeless i think if nintendo could have it back they would well i don't know i was gonna say they would redesign the controller because the entire left side doesn't get used and that's never silly never but it's such a unique design of a controller that that makes it so iconic massive m with the z on the back yeah the z controller but yeah i think two of the greatest games ever super smash brothers and 007 goldeneye yeah in 64 and it's stood the test of time like uh several barcades i've been to before they will have in 64 is still up down Yeah, you play play like Mario Kart and stuff on yeah, it's awesome I'm with you Garrett. Yeah, and then Garrett also asked not that this was funny He said most enjoyable way to consume sodas. He's a big pop guy

I don't know if these are his order or not But he said one can two bottle three fountain and then he also claimed every soda flavor actually has different orders I think, which I thought was interesting. Yes. I would actually, yes, I agree.

Vanilla Coke, something with vanilla flavoring. It's better like canned or bottled. Canned. Yes. You don't want like a fountain mixture of that just doesn't feel right. Doesn't hit right. Burger King or Qdoba,

any place that has a freestyle machine. Get freestyles out of my life. I'm not going to rant about it right now too much but those freestyle machines they never taste right out of those things never it's that's always shocked me we've always disagreed on that i love the freestyle machines and you don't like them but you just said that the vanilla coke tastes differently i did say that but also it gives me vanilla coke i appreciate that but it just does it's not the same vanilla Coke. It's just Coke with vanilla in it, which not the same. Yeah.

I don't know. I see it as like this, uh, this, I don't know. This airplane to Hawaii doesn't have great leg room. It's like, that is annoying, but it's still taking me to Hawaii. No, it's like, it's like this airplane in Hawaii is taking me to this island five minutes away from Hawaii. Pretty close. I guess we'll just swim the rest of the way there. That's what it's like.

Okay, so my answer would be anything that's like a... I love cans. Cans are great. Yeah. But where'd you get that can from? Like... An ice cold refrigerator. Your face.

That's so funny. More what I'm saying is like, where was that manufactured? Is what you're trying to say. No, no, no, no. What I'm saying is like, it could be hard to get a can like from wherever you bought it to your home

without getting it shaken up a little bit. Oh, really? And it gets a little flat. Okay. Same with like a two liter. Two liters suck. Cans are never flat. Sometimes. No, not until you it gets a little flat. Okay. Same with like a two liter. Two liters suck. Kids are never flat. Sometimes.

No, not until you open them. Two liters, they go flat quick. Yes. Get the two liters out of here. Unless you're having a big birthday bash, Super Bowl party, something like that. Unless you're having like a formal skate night. Where we're getting water. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. Right. We're having a pizza party with your fifth graders, you know, fifth grade baseball team. And bring your own loofahs. Yeah. Oh, gosh. No. What? We're not showering together the baseball team it's a take-home gift okay like a like a handle favor uh you have a loofah yeah loofah or roger clemens rookie card kind of separate uh the guys you're gonna stick with baseball from the ones who are just in it

for uh oh that loofah sounds kind of interesting they're like well i just yeah all right they're here for the uniforms they like the colors go ahead terrence um so i i coke and dr pepper out of the fountain awesome not always well it's gonna be anomalies that's what well i think coke mcdonald's and mcdonald's coke and dark pepper by far the best yeah chick-fil-a every once in a while can everything else give me a cold can hits hits nice yeah cream soda out of a can is so much better than cream soda any other way is there cream yeah you never even find cream sodas in the fountains you don't let's talk to somebody when yeah maybe it like one of those like a torches tacos kind of place where they have weird flavors don't like those very much i want to i want to like them so bad because torches is so cool but i don't like those flavors very much the last two times i've been to torches though they've

reverted back yes normal flavors normal flavors all right next next voice memo sorry we can talk about pop for a long time yeah dirty pop take one ghost runners jingle celine dion my heart will go Ghost Runners, Jingle. Celine Dion, My Heart Will Go On. Gabby and Pooja. Near, far, where Ghost Runners are. I believe that the podcast will go on. Podcast will go on. Podcast. We'll go on. Jake. Brad. Friends I've never had.

But they're here in my phone. And my phone will keep playing Ghostrunners. Wow. How much of that was planned and not planned, do you think? I don't care. That was awesome. I loved it. That made me smile big time.

Yeah, that was cool. That was our first singing submission into the voice memos. Thank you. I have nothing else to say. That was awesome. Yeah, we appreciate it. I incorporated last week's song into That was awesome. Yeah, we appreciate it. I incorporated last week's song into it with your own words. Loved it.

Who doesn't love that? Oh, man. Thank you. Yes. When she said it was two people, I was so much more hyped. I was like, oh, yes, a duet. Hey, guys. My name is Michaela.

I'm originally from Cincinnati, but I currently live in East Tennessee with my husband and two little boys. Both my husband and I love you guys and love your podcast, and we enjoy listening to it together. My question for you guys is, what is a movie that you absolutely love and would go to bat for that most people think is terrible? We love you guys. If you're ever in East Tennessee, we'd love to meet you and treat you to Chick-fil-A. So have a good one. Bye. One that I really like, I don't think it necessarily gets scrutinized by people, but it's not well known or anything, is this movie

called Little Big League. You ever seen that? Never even heard of it. Oh, it was a 90s movie. It's a baseball movie about this kid whose grandpa was the owner of the twins. Okay. Grandpa dies. Oh, and this little kid who's 12 years old, maybe huge baseball fan. Grandpa bestows upon him the Minnesota twins ownership. Oh, he owns the twins. That's an irresponsible move by Gramps, right? Owns the twins and decides I know enough about baseball. I'm going to also manage the twins. And it is an awesome movie it is awesome ken griffey jr's in it best baseball player ever my favorite at least uh it's awesome randy johnson's in it it's so good it's so funny and like it's so good and like i don't think enough people are talking about it uh so check out little big league sometime there's one inappropriate scene so if

you're uh inappropriate to a 12 year old i would say but it's rated pg so it's not terrible terrible but anyway um such a good movie it seems like a fun idea for a movie it's such a yeah exactly like this kid like if you're eight years old watching that you're like that is so cool that you get to manage the twins right like there's a there's a scene at the beginning like whenever he's just first starting out like like this security guard's like, hey, you got to get out of here. You got to get out of here. And he's like, I'm Billy Haywood. Like I'm the owner. I own this place.

And then all of a sudden he's like so nice to himself. So really, really funny, fun movie. Very easy watch. Little big league. We only have like, well, Catherine recently got a bunch of DVDs from her sister, but like I kept very little DVDs over the years. One of them that I've kept is Little Big League because I don't think it's going to be shown on TV very often.

This is so good. You're on the shot of watching it. It's on Netflix. I haven't seen it on Netflix or anything, but a really, really great movie that I watched a lot as a kid. Wow. What was the original question exactly? It was just a movie that you would go to bat for.

Is that what she said? When she said go to go to bat, you know, I'm thinking twins, right? Um, yeah. Go to bat for that. Other people don't think is that good. Okay. The, I don't have anything that I like is a stark difference. Like I love it and everyone else hates it, but Forrest Gump is just like, I think it's really, really good. I mean, come on guys. Who's with me? No one's really talked about this star Wars trilogy. I think a movie that I really good. I mean, come on, guys. Who's with me? No one's really talked about the Star Wars trilogy. I think a movie that I at least seem to love way more than anyone else, the Prince of Egypt animated DreamWorks film from probably 20 years ago.

I love it. And I can tell by the way you're laughing that I've chosen a good movie for this answer because you don't think it's all that hot. I have so my opinion is so tepid. What's that word mean? Lukewarm. I have no opinion. Like it's it's all that hot. I have so, my, my, my opinion is so tepid. What's that word mean? Uh, lukewarm. I have no opinion. Like it's, it's so not, I don't care about it.

Like, yeah, you're right. Like it was what I'm saying. Good explanation. There's, there's no, yeah, it's fine. It's whatever. See, that's where you're wrong because it's really, really good. The music. I've only seen it like maybe a halftime in my life.

Halftime? Yeah. Like I don't even think I've seen the whole thing. Oh, it's maybe a half time in my life half time yeah like i don't even think i've seen the whole thing oh it's so good friday night movie night with patty watch it are there any people that are sarcastic in it catherine's very careful about sarcasm right now okay i'm sure you're aware of the story in exodus but moses does push a guy off a ledge and kills him i don't know how was he sarcastic about it no he was very upfront about it it's biblical baby uh no it's awesome dude the music alone mariah carey's in the mix other people i can't remember off the top of my head are in the mix creeds and maybe oh yeah baby simultaneous got it anyway go go look up the song through heaven's eyes it's so good we were listening to it the limo i just

have such a oh it's just such a great memory of rolling up to seattle washington it's awesome i know that katherine's also a big fan of the music and stuff because she gets hyped whenever you post stuff about it but prince of egypt yeah you do have a big affection for that i'm glad i thought of that yeah because i Cause I'm getting hot and bothered. Yeah. You're starting to groove right here. Yeah. That's great. Hey, Jake and Brad.

It's your friend Cookie. Was just calling to ask this question. If you had your own music fest, you can call it Jake Fest or Brad Fest, and you could pick any three bands of all time, who would they be? Thanks. That is a great question. From Cookie.

Ah, geez. His Chicago accent has been muted a little bit because he lives in Yukon, Oklahoma now. That'll do it. Ah, geez. Let's go get some Portillo steak sandwiches and just enjoy ourselves. Go Cubs. Go Sox, go Bears, go Hawks. Okay. So three bands, Brad, what's coming to mind?

Uh, POD. Sure. Stephen Cruz Chapman and CeCe Winans probably. I'm cueing you to sing. I don't know that song. That's the Saddle Up Your Horses song. And I nailed it, by the way. Okay, you did.

Saddle up your horses. Got a trail to base. Whoa. That would not be what I would do, to be honest. Favorite band of all time obviously first thing come to mind say with me the you know do you know my favorite band the beatles the beatles correct um yes easily the first answer um just because they're so iconic and i would love to see them live uh in their heyday second this was a little bit more of a stretch for me, I guess, but Leonard Skinner.

Oh, uh, I think sweet home Alabama might be my favorite song of all time. It's good. It's such a great song. It's so great. Uh, and free birds gotta be the best song to ever be performed live and to watch it by Leonard Skinner in there, you know, just amazing. Hey, day would be amazing. Where would your festival take place? Oh, well, like the Kansas. Okay. I think, I know, just amazing heyday would be amazing. Where would your festival take place? Oh, Olathe, Kansas. Okay. I think, I mean, cool. Yeah. And what, what venue in Olathe would they be at? Oh, probably Olathe South High School graduate. That would be, it'd be an intimate affair. That would be sweet to see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I don't know where it would be. Sprint center. No, it would be outside somewhere. I like, I like outside the idea of outside. I don't, I don't care where it is just somewhere cool and i have a great seat for i had a friend in high

school and i heard like uncle her name was lindsey and her uncle i guess nicknamed her leonard skinnerd okay she got that tattooed on her stomach really that's a true story was the leonard skinnerd they're fine uh really yeah a few a true story. Was the Leonard Skinner. Uh, really? Yeah. A few, few jokes you probably make there, but, um, was, was where, okay. I've got to be afraid so much. Tell me afterwards. But, uh, anyway, what's your third band? Third band is more of an artist than a band and somebody that's still around kicking great today john mayer oh yeah he's cool he i don't think we realize that he is the best guitarist of our generation but he is

and he's i would love to see him i would love to see him and how cool would it be to like the very end be like all right i'm gonna i'm gonna go ahead and call up john ringo you know like call up you know three bands together this is my idea too yeah like so cool i mean we are the world but like for like with we are oh my gosh we are kansas so that would be my thing for sure john may Mayer, Beatles, Skinner. Sick. Mine would be, I think the name for mine is going to be called Dalla Palooza. It only costs a dollar to get in. That way everyone can come.

Perfect. And it's in Des Moines. Yeah, that's where you do it. Yeah, just centrally located. And I had a good time when I was there. Des Moines, French for Des Moines. Of course. My three people individuals would be elvis presley michael jackson justin bieber one you know one king of every era and then my my like one justin bieber's the king baby kind of okay kind of okay uh yeah no actually. Okay. Uh, yeah, no,

actually I'm not backing down. Yeah. It's, it's pretty impressive what he's done since he was like 12. I just don't think he's that good. There are, I'm sorry. On one hand,

you can name kid musicians who have transitioned into musicians successfully as adults. Also true. Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, Christina Aguilera. Okay. Justin Timberlake. Okay.

Britney Spears. they weren't musicians when they were younger they were just in the like Disney thing oh were they just acting I I don't I can't tell you a single

Justin Timberlake song when he was 12 I can tell you the Jackson 5 song oh so you're talking about specifically like yeah success not just they were singing in the

Mickey Mouse Club Mickey Mouse Club I couldn't think of what it's called it's like the Disney thing yeah so for that reason I think Justin Bieber Zac Ef couldn't think of what it's called like the disney thing yeah so for that reason i think justin peber zack efron you think zack efron's one of the kings he's not singing he was no yeah he's not musical no i'm saying he's not now he's saying greatest showman what the greatest showman it's a t it's a tv movie okay so he's saying a couple songs in in a few movies that is nowhere near

triple platinum, Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber's level. I'm just teasing, man. I'm teasing. Well, I just don't, I'm still going to defend my side of it. Teasing or not. I understand he's very popular, but I don't think he's that good. Those. Oh, are you teasing or not? Now we're back on it. Justin Bieber is very good. He is very, very talented as a dancer and as a singer. Okay. Why don't you think he's talented? I don't, I'm not saying, no, of course I'm not saying he's not talented.

That's what you just said. That's what I'm arguing. I said I don't like his music that much. No, you did it. You said he's not good. Okay, fine. He can sing. Thank you.

Every professional musician can sing. all of us most okay it's like the hillary swank is she hot of course she's a movie star but she's not she's not my cup of tea uh well the reason i say that is i just recently learned from uh emily duckworth you know her sister-in-law like writes on music works with like correct one and all them. And she was saying they'll bring in studio voices for even like people like Selena Gomez who like can't hit high notes. That's hilarious. Sometimes higher notes is not even them. They can't even auto-tune their voice to get

that high. So how confident are you that Justin Bieber is actually good? I am not budging on the Bieber thing. How do you know that they don't have, you know, go Google Justin Bieber acoustic. Listen to any song he's ever sang acoustic. It's amazing. Actually how do you know that they don't have uh you know go look go google justin bieber acoustic listen to any song he's ever sang acoustic it's amazing actually specifically google justin bieber uh jingle ball uh it's so it's a very specific video he sounds amazing it's the my mama don't like you

song yeah look that one up oh my goodness i just can't believe you can't admit that he is very talented he's talented i just said i'd rather have Justin Timberlake usher. Like other people in that realm are so much more like iconic to me than Justin Bieber. Are we talking iconic? Are we talking talent? I think the premise is that everybody is talented. Gotcha. I just don't think that I enjoy Justin Bieber as much as I enjoy Justin Timberlake. Gotcha. Your argument is switched like three different times. So I can't really keep up with what you're trying to say. I don't like Justin Timberlake or Justin. Your argument is switched like three different times, so I can't really keep up with what you're trying to say. I don't like Justin Bieber that much. I don't think he's that good.

Okay. Well, that's fine. I think he's marginally good. I don't think he's like that much different than, I don't know, whoever else you're going to compare him to.

My argument was that he's- He's not the king of our generation. I did not say that. You put words in my mouth. What'd you say? I didn't say king of our generation. What'd not say that. You put words in my mouth. What'd you say? I didn't say king of our generation. What'd you say?

You said Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Justin Bieber, the kings of generations. Oh, I see. Okay, nevermind. I thought you meant like I called him like, and then we got Justin Bieber, the king of our generation. But I guess inadvertently,

I kind of implied that. Yeah, so like we got Elvis, the king of rock, Michael Jackson, the king of pop, and Justin Elvis, the king of rock, Michael Jackson, the king of pop and Justin Bieber, the king of, I don't know,

what do you want to call him? I don't have a name for it, but I'd say he's the king of transitioning from childhood success to adult success in the music realm. No one else has done that

in our generation. Okay. What, Brad? What are you doing? You're being so passive aggressive. Just say what, what are you thinking? I don't have, like, I don't know Justin Bieber enough to truly like have great arguments

back and forth about it. I just don't think he's. You just like being sassy. You just like getting me riled up, don't you? I'm not. You're like, okay. All right. All right.

Okay. Shawn Mendes. Is Shawn Mendes that much worse than Justin Bieber? No, he's awesome too. Right. I love Shawn Mendes. That's my point. I'm saying Justin Bieber was a kid and successful.

So was Michael Jackson. That's what I'm saying. Those two are on a whole other plane that no one else is on. They were very successful in music when they were pubescent boys into adulthood. Those are the only two you could put in that conversation. Okay. Stop saying K. I'm trying to agree i don't know

what you want me to do you want me to keep disagreeing with you but i don't disagree with that okay cool i just don't think that that makes justin bieber so great that i have to put him in my lineup of concerts no you don't that's fair but elvis michael jackson justin bieber sharing the stage thanks a lot cookie would them sharing the stage together would be awesome i think i don't actually know what the music would sound like. Maybe it'd be terrible. But I love, I've always loved, when I was little, the Power Rangers.

The end of the episodes when they would join forces. That's so fun. Yeah. To do that. And so they would just like do some kind of crazy song together. Elvis would move his hips. Michael Jackson would moonwalk.

And Justin Bieber would... Do that thing that he's so good at. Get married. Get married probably too young model at calvin klein yeah uh get get his package photoshopped for calvin klein no way yeah it was like this whole thing really it showed like the before and after it was like jeez they really uh really laid it on you there like his abs like everything was very photoshopped oh wow didn't love it i wonder if his voice is ever you know simulated in some stuff i wonder if they were photoshopped his voice because he sucks at singing randomly i don't know

why but this week i've been impersonating elvis and teaching hattie how to do it recently oh cool and so the the phrase that she's been saying is hey mama oh that's awesome hey mama that is awesome you need to get that on get that on video please okay i'll try to get something for the instagram apparently she said it to katherine today when i wasn't even there like thanks mama that's awesome yeah so anyway oh kids have got to be so fun just like seeing seeing something you made just mimic whatever you wanted to it's kind of dangerous like you could do whatever you want to this kid and they'll they'll they'll think it's okay hey mama hey mama okay the the blood's flowing now cookie thanks a lot that was a good question that was fun jake i love you and i would love for you to have uh justin bieber all the time thank you i love you too brad what is up jake and brad this is blake h and tanner c coming at you straight

from branson missouri uh we work for an an anonymous Christian sports camp that shall remain nameless. And we just have a hot topic that we want you to cover. The question is this. You are on a first date and all of a sudden, you and the girl you take appear on the Jumbotron for Kiss Cam in a first date situation. What is the correct response? Oh boy.

That was funny, by the way. I love that. Thank you for keeping it anonymous, your Christian sports camp in Branson. yeah because there's there's so many it's like okay maybe barnabas could be could be associated with whitewater um there's sports kind of yeah maybe the presleys have a camp yakoff yakoff doing anything these days what's he up to yakoff doing the off season what are those acrobats doing um the obvious answer is you know go in for it man i mean what a cool story someday there's no like you you can't you kiss her well what do you want me to do it was the kiss cam was

on us like she can't be that mad you You get to kiss her. That's pretty, I mean, yeah, that's great actually. Um, like the, the world is forcing your hand and yeah, that's an absolute, like at this point in our lives, if Jake's not raring, raring to go for a, uh, for marriage, it's, it's not happening, you know? So it's like, Hey, let's accelerate this thing. Like usually it's, you know, three, four dates. I don't know how many dates down the road these days. I don't know what they do, but not the first two, not the first, not the first date that you're kissing girls. I'll let you know right now. It's not the first seven. Um, that's how far I've gotten. I once waited eight dates before I got a first kiss and then another

four. Anyway, I'm just saying accelerate in the process kiss her and like see if it's working out or not because i don't think you get crazy with it obviously but i think you go in and you peck oh yeah yeah yeah you're not you're not doing like the whole like turn your hat backwards you know going in or whatever like like having to need a bunch of room for it or anything it's just hey you want you want to you want to have a little have a little lippy take a little lip nap real quick come over here poopsie i think if you find yourself in that situation and you you don't want to make the move uh the fallback plan that's still funny and could get you a kiss later would be just start like making out with your arm or something funny

or like if you have like a yeah that'll be attractive for okay okay not arm but like uh like the drink in your hand or like the food in your hand so i guess yeah if you have food in your hand you could start making out with that and that could be funny and then she's like oh he's so funny i want to kiss him oh later alternative 180 turn to your left there's a random man kiss him on the forehead everybody's having fun that's funny and that's a that's a hilarious memory and then you can easily yeah you can easily transition the conversation uh you know you're you're uh dropping her off like man that was really funny about that kiss cam huh and she's like yeah well good night wait you forgot this my forehead oh dang it oh yeah yeah you go for the forehead

and she's going like it's just awkward like she's just like ah i thought you were gonna say you turn to your left to like fake kiss the guy and hope that he like backs away and then you're like oh over here okay and then you go and then you get kind of a running start at it is is another option to just pretend like you don't see and just see what she does just you're really laser focused on the game but just no no look the whole time and but pretend like you're like oh yeah maybe just be late yeah like let's go roy oh my oh i had no whoa kiss cam that's crazy all we're trying to say is the obvious like wrong answer is to just put your hands back and forth saying no no this girl no no not her like don't

do that i think i've talked about this on trey's podcast but i've been i feel like i've been in every potential scenario at a baseball game with not, not that I've, that makes it sound like I always just take girls to baseball games, but like I've been with my sister. I've been with just a friend. I've been with someone I was like dating, but not dating that hard. Okay. Okay. And so it's four or five dates in it's yeah. It's just, it makes me nervous no matter what. Oh man. Opposite. I am raring to go every time those things i that's my dream is to get on a kiss cam and katherine like could not want it less she's like get me out of here you're in to go i gotta go to the bathroom like your shirt is off yeah oh let's go start undoing the belt a little

bit so let's do this yeah i'm like i'm like leaning back in the hey kath let's do it come on and then the classic like oh i guess we didn't get on it we should kiss anyway Yeah, I'm like leaning back. Hey, Kath, let's do it. Come on. And then the classic like, oh, I guess we didn't get on it. We should kiss anyway. So, anyway. That was a great question. These voicemails really, maybe this is all the podcast should be. This is what gets us going.

I don't know. I didn't like fighting with you. That was more for show. You're right. I love Justin Bieber. He's the best. I love the beatles hey jake and brad my name's kevin i'm from tennessee uh main reason why i'm leaving you a message is to let jake know that there is a all-in-one washer dryer combo uh no trapdoor involved it is all one machine you throw your clothes in it washes them drains the water out it dries them boom your clothes are done so yeah already invented and

you've mentioned it twice and it irked me that you did not know that this thing existed so i just had to let you know that um second part real quick question for you guys what actors would you want to play you guys in movies about your lives uh my picks are jack black for brad and young tom cruise for jake because he's regularly good looking thanks Love the podcast. Yeah. So I'm thinking someone that's like a three out of 10 for Brad and like a 12 out of 10 for Jake. One of us is bagged a dough. I'm just saying.

Oh, I don't have anything to say. I'm just gonna let you air this grievance right now. Get it out there. Yeah. So I'm thinking Susan Boyle you air this grievance right now. Get it out there. Yeah. So I'm thinking Susan Boyle for Brad is a good match. Because they sing. And Cindy Crawford for Jake. Those would be good matches.

They would love each other because they're both ruggedly handsome. My gosh. I will say, you know, he's looking from a personality side of things, probably. Because you see a lot of yourself in Jack Black. In fact, you've talked about to me that you want to do that entire scene from School of Rock by yourself. Which I think you could do. I think I could try. Give him a little preave right now.

Lawrence is good at piano. He will be rocking at my show. And now Freddie on the drums. Jum-ba-ja-jum-ba-ja-jum-ba-ja-jum-ba-ja-jum-ba-ja-jum. Now on the cymbals, but really light. Tee-ka-ta-tee-ka-tee-ka-tee. Bow-bow-bow. That's just a great movie.

Yeah, loosey-goosey. Come on, man. But that guy, he like took, what's her name, to the parent-teacher night thing. Miranda Cosgrove. No, no. Oh, sorry.

I didn't even pay to reset. The principal lady. Yeah. She's not cute. The one who likes Stevie Nicks. Have you seen my wife? I'm Tom Cruise. Okay. Oh,

that's funny. Uh, but before he said that, I was thinking Chris Farley. So I shouldn't like, I shouldn't be too, I think Chris Farley, like I would love to be Chrisris like i would love to do what chris farley did but not the ending uh you know the drug abuse right not that part of it but i think he was really funny yeah he was

great well thank you kevin that was awesome yeah either chris farley or brad pitt probably for me um just kind of pinning on the role right Right. Yeah. Yeah. That's a great way to, for people to remember my name though. I'm like, uh, Brad, like Brad Pitt. Uh, people say we look alike.

You look more like Jack Black. That's funny. Is that all the voiceovers we got? That's all we got. Uh, great. Interesting about the washer dryer. Yeah.

I guess not only have I mentioned this multiple times on the podcast, but it already exists. So, okay. And can we, can we edit out the cuss word that he said? Yeah. I guess not only have I mentioned this multiple times on the podcast, but it already exists. Okay. Jokes on me! Can we edit out the cuss word that he said? From now on, can we not cuss in the voicemails, please? Thank you. Did he actually? Oh, wait, wait. Erk. Hey! I was a little behind on the joke there. My bad. Just catching up to speed.

I tell you what, man. Okay, Brad, how do you feel about doing some currently trending we each share an erash strong opinion we end it with blanks of the week those are the next three chapters of this audiobook that's the roadmap okay go strap in go now turn right for currently trending let's do it currently trending this is a shared one between brad and i touching each other's elbows hello stay stay with us here it just kind of organically happened at chick-fil-a monday which by the way we went to chick-fil-a monday tuesday and wednesday of this week talk about poultry of the week good day yeah really though a lot of poultry but what you do

is you wait till you have something very meaningless to say to someone, but everything about your body language is extremely caring and sympathetic. And you go up and you just lightly touch their elbow. You cup it. You cup, cup the elbow. Yeah. Right where the crease is. Cup the crease. And then you say something like, Hey, how's it going, bud? Hey, it's okay. It's okay. Hey, I'm going to go wash my hands. Hey, I'll be right back. Okay. okay hey i'm gonna go wash my hands hey i'll be right back okay i'm just gonna go wash my hands real quick okay bud hey justin beaver kind of sucks we've been doing this to people just the last few days and i laugh every time it's so funny it's so funny i i katherine hates it and that's what i love is like it's really uncomfortable i keep

contexts, but I looked it up recently as far as like who I am, certain people around me told me what they were and got kind of into it. I'm embarrassed to admit a little bit. So you did the thing that you've made fun of for this whole time? Uh, uh, hold on. Did you ask people, did you have conversations about it with other people? No. Okay. It was more like someone someone i knew i knew what their number was okay and so i looked into it and like enjoyed looking into it okay that's what i'm saying i did not ask someone at a party

what their enneagram score was that was not your first question to somebody no no jake what enneagram number are you no no but what i was going to say was looking into it it was so kind of crazy how accurate some of these things were, even just not even to my personality, but specifically to things I've said on the podcast. I wrote down some of the things that said about me. So in Enneagram seven on a very deep level, sevens do not feel like they can find what they really want in life. They therefore tend to try everything, try everything. I've literally said that multiple times that that is my personality. Oh, I think I could do that. I'm going to try to make music.

I'm going to start a podcast. I'm going to drive a car around the country. I think I can do that. The seven type is the most prone to addictions like caffeine and stimulants. Drink a lot of soda. Yeah, you do. Sevens wear their body out in an effort to stay up. I do that.

You definitely do that. I went to bed at 2 30 last night and that's somewhat normal and early maybe very normal they tend last one they tend to have excellent mind body coordination and manual dexterity like typewriting which the whole time we were texas we were doing typing contests and it gives examples piano playing or tennis uh pickle ball hello that's me manual dexterity wow oh and then it said sorry not last one and it said uh typically very good at storytelling i'm on a podcast i need to do an enneagram test to see how i can brag about myself next week okay those are not those are

personality that it was i i'll tease it i'll tease it i'll tease it i'll tease it uh i'll tease it i'll tease it my best friend in college he would always say he had the funniest like i'm just teasing he was like so so serious but hey man i'm just teasing i'm just teasing you touch your elbow just teasing hey i'm just teasing but yeah i thought it was so funny how much that related to specifically things talk about all the podcasts it's like well this personality test is pretty solid i'm gonna stop did you read any of the other uh things that said like you're like oh that's not me at all. Cause I always wonder what those things, like, if you're just like, kind of like we talked about the horoscopes, like, yeah, sometimes I am

a night owl. And sometimes I am tired at night, you know, there weren't too many. I think there were, uh, like most of the weaknesses, I didn't have any of those. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just kidding. I didn't resonate with the weaknesses part. None of the weaknesses were right at all. Like I said, like people don't like me. Everyone likes me. Is that I would have trouble like admitting my flaws. I don't at all. I've never struggled with that to be honest. No, I never will. That's great. Well, I can't wait for you to like, yeah, go from like, you know, like I hate the Enneagram to like, Hey, I'm Jake. And I'll be speaking on the Enneagram today.

Yeah. Welcome to my webinar. It's called nine numbers and nine minutes. All right. Let's dive in. Nine numbers and nine minutes. Perfect. It's called nine and nine. Anyway, that's great. Let's move on. Brad, where's the GPS taking us now? To thanks of the week. Nice. We'll skip over E-Rapidly Strong Opinions. Oh, that's fine GPS taking us now? To Thanks for the Week. Nice. We'll skip over your actually strong opinions. Oh. That's fine.

That's fine. It's fine. It's fine. Take a detour. I don't know. We'll go back. No, it's fine. This has been a pretty long episode, and my actually strong opinion is not time sensitive.

Okay. It's okay. Let's start with catchphrase of the week. Who doesn't love a good catchphrase? I love good. Well, catchphrase the game, first doesn't love a good catchphrase uh i love good well catchphrase the game first of all also love that i think it's genuinely the greatest game well whoa i know that's a strong statement i love catchphrase as far as group games go yes play with six people

play with 20 people game night catchphrase is a go-to it's a and it gets heated we love doing yeah i was gonna say catherine hates when i like purposely say the wrong clue like answer for like her team like if i'm on the other team like okay he played with uh danny devito in twins uh whatever i don't know um but hold on we'll do an example of it so it would be like all right he was a yankees uh first baseman for a long time uh paul o'neill uh in the yeah say something it's definitely not the right answer. No, no. He's a right fielder.

King Kermit Jr. Uh, a little big league. No, but you remember, I think I've done this with you. Like, uh,

looking for more thanksgiving colors i get there i'll be honest i forgot a little bit of the information i remember they had purple and green but i was like do they have blue i'll just text them real fast hey do we have blue i have you know i have these other ones yellow brown orange do we have blue nothing oh also do we need paint brushes i'll wait for about five minutes. I'm like, okay, I'll give her a call. Nothing. Radio silent. No answer. Hey, this is Catherine.

Can't leave you a voicemail because I don't do that. I'm 28, 29. So then I do the question mark thing on the text. Like one more question. Get home. She's playing in the little playhouse with my daughter. Not, not even close to her phone, which in her defense, I appreciate that she's not addicted to her phone. She's wanting to spend quality time with our daughter. And she gave me the, she told me that she said,

we do not need any paintbrushes. I bought them anyway. So now we have lots of, if anybody needs any paintbrushes out there, I'll trade you a paintbrush for a tuxedo occasion. Um, so that happened, but that's not the first time that's happened there was one time it was like 11 30 at night and i went and i was like doing this very nice thing what could you possibly be doing if you don't have your cell phone like you are in bed on your phone what else yeah come on you're you're there and she claims she didn't see it i was waiting there for 15 minutes waiting for her to respond, tell me something. So that is my poultry. When it happens once, it's forgivable.

When it happens twice or thrice or frice, it's a frustration. It's a poultry. So maybe you need to start thinking about getting her a little jitterbug or something. Something where you can like buzz her, get her a beeper or something. Yeah, get her one of those things that the old people have in case they fall or something. Like the opposite of that. Yeah, like I case they fall or something? A life alert? Yeah. I have a life alert for you.

Life alert? Yeah. What kind of paint? Do you need blue or not? Because it's a dollar. And I don't know if I need to spend a dollar if we don't need it. Sure. That's my poultry.

Oh, I almost just skipped over my poultry. Yeah, tell me. It's real short and sweet. As you know, joined a pickleball league. Week one, I'm shooting a show with my friend Trey Kennedy, and we work 13 hours a day. Silencing your phones, yeah. Silencing my phones.

Had to miss pickleball week one. Week two, I am in Madison, Wisconsin, performing comedy. Have to miss it. Week three, so excited to be back in Aksh, baby. Yeah. Get an email that day. The other team has forfeited congrats you won that's not what you want week four coming up tonight i guess for this thing on

monday uh monday night football is on the chiefs i did not schedule this properly gunner and i are just like why did we do this this is so bad so i don't know it's just my poultry is with myself and pickleball and casey crew it's not going well. No, it's not going well at all. So did you, you forfeited one game gunner one, one, and then gunner forfeited one as well when I was out of town. Okay. So you're one, two and one, two and one. Okay. But still you want to play the game. Yeah. It's not even about the record. It's the fact that I paid $50 to play an old man's sport and I'm not even getting to do it. And one the times you're gonna have to play is during your favorite teams yeah so hopefully things go better i'm looking to turn this poultry into a feast feast yeah feasty boys yep so that's my poultry just with pickleball

There were a couple more talking about my frequency of responding. Some, one person piped in and said, you're right. Jake does only respond once a week, but. Yeah, somebody backed you up. Jonathan Gardner, get on your feet. He said, that is not true. Where is it at? He said, oh, whoever keeps saying Jake only replies once is wrong.

I've never met him. And he regularly responds to my Instagram messages and comments. Probably because he's from Montana. He is from Montana. And we love Montana randomly. He signed it, Jonathan Poopsie Gardner. So that's great. Thanks, Poopsie.

Good job, Poopsie. Okay, that ends Blanks of the Week. Brad, is there anything else we need to talk about? Anything on your mind before going into the little jingle uh not for me

Showing it down, good lord. I got friends in ghost places, made it way too far.

It's hard to be critical of my own things, but it's like, that's not as funny. That's not as good. And the winner was Whitney Houston, I Want to Ghost with Somebody. It was not my vote, I'll be honest. I voted myself for these. I did not vote for that. Me neither. But hey, other people do, so maybe I should take it back to Whitney Moore.. It was not my vote. I'll be honest. I voted. I voted myself for these. I did not vote for that.

Me neither. But hey, other people do. So maybe I should take it back to people's choice. Yeah. Okay, cool. Well, follow our Instagram ghost hunters podcast. Leave us a review. Check out digital resource.
