Jake, we did it. We did it. 299 episodes last week, man. Pretty cool. Pretty crazy, man. Episode 300 of the Ghost Runners here. Yeah, to start off the best episode ever, the most iconic episode ever, I figured I would tell you a story that is the opposite of all that.

I'm just trying to be a good dad right now and tell this story because Hattie was so adamant that this is the best story ever. Dad, you have to tell that on the podcast. That is so funny. So I didn't realize that Hattie was like even giving you feedback like that. Like I'm aware of the podcast and I know things that do and don't deserve to be on the podcast. Just, I think this was the first time that she's ever said this. I think when she was on the podcast, she listened to it and she thought it was so fun. She thought that that like old man thing that I did after she was on there

was like the greatest thing ever. So maybe now she's like officially a ghost. She's starting to get it. Yeah. And I don't know if I love that. She's like now looking for content. I was like, Oh,

you should say this on the podcast. Now that was so fun. Anyway, um, the other day we were, the whole family was in the truck. Had he had to go to the bathroom really bad. I really wanted some main street roasters North. So we went to main street roasters North here in Kansas city. And, um, she went to the bathroom and while she went, I ordered a nitro coffee. Um, and if you don't know anything about nitro, it comes out of a little like spout, like a cold brew keg spout kind of thing.

And it takes a little bit of time. It's not super fast coming out or anything. So anyway, this guy, the barista is his name. Had he comes out of the bathroom, we're waiting on my coffee, and the barista starts filling up the keg or filling up the cup with the keg. And you can kind of pull on the lever and then let it go. Like you don't have to hold it down. So he's pulling on the lever and then he turns around to like go clean something. And I'm watching this cup fill up and I'm like, he's not, he's not coming back in time. He's not coming back in time. And so I went over and I shut off the tap before it overflowed. And he's like, thanks for doing that, man. And I was like,

yeah, sure. No problem. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to touch stuff back there, but I did it anyway. And Hattie got back in the car. She's like, mom, greatest story ever. Dad, they were filling up dad's coffee and it was going to overflow. And so dad stopped it from overflowing. Dad, you have to tell that on the podcast.

And I was like, yeah, Eddie, I'm going to start episode 300 with it, I think. Catherine's like, did he slip and fall afterwards? No. No, nothing happened. Not even a drop was out of the cup. Did dad get in trouble? No, they didn't even care. They were kind of happy that he did it

uh-oh oh i do i think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white me too then west best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because this is a ghost Ghost Runners Podcast Every Monday morning we're taking round Ghost Runners Podcast Ghost Runners Podcast Well, thank you, Brad, for that. Thank you, Hattie, for knowing what good content is. Yes. And welcome, Ghost Runners.

Old fans, new fans, welcome to the greatest podcast community that we know of. Yeah, in Kansas. At least in Kansas. Yeah. Maybe the whole time zone. So, yeah, we're in the 300s now. Yeah. We got to step it up a notch.

We got to be funnier. This is podcasting. Was that funny? Uh-huh. How do you like that one? You like that reference? How do you see 300? It's biblical.

She's read the story. Thessalonica, the Persians. We will step it up. We will. Here's our game. Here's us stepping up. Stepping it up. To the streets. I'm going to start off with the best thing I have. All right. So it's all going to go downhill from here. Okay. I talked about this on my Instagram story yesterday, but or at least mention it. One of my flaws, my toxic trait, Gen Z, is that I will go to Great Clips and then they do a bad job cutting my hair and then I put the blame on them

instead of putting the blame on me for going to Great Clips, going to a place that offers you a dum-dum sucker when you check out. Yeah. Bo and I went to Great Clips for his haircut the other day. And I thought,

I think this is good enough for Bo. I'm not, I don't think it's like great for a three-year-old. Yeah. And he loved it. Cause he got the dumb dumb at the end. He got two actually. Did he get the day? Okay.

True or false. You, you took a dumb dumb sucker. I did not. Health kick right now. I didn't know if you were like, Hey, you know, give it to the, give it to the kid on the street. Hey kid. I don't see a lot of kids on the street remember this hey thank me later yeah 300 uh so yeah i go to great clubs

yesterday rachel is always like can you not go somewhere you have good hair take care of it i was like yeah i have good hair how bad can they mess it up yeah that's how i see it dude i don't here's here's my thought on it okay so when So when you first posted your Instagram story, I thought, oh, Jake got a haircut and it's like the first day he got the haircut. You know what I mean? And then you like commented on like, guys, I went to great clips and you know,

it's not great, whatever. And I think admitting that you thought it wasn't great made me think that actually looks pretty good. Oh, it did the opposite. Yeah. Like at first I was like, ah. And you know, at first at first it's just like your hair just looks like it just got cut. It didn't look bad. It just looked different than what I saw you as yesterday. This is like when Jim teaches Michael about like self-deprecating humor. Yeah. He's like, I'm a big, dumb idiot.

Michael's like, no, you're not. Yeah. See, and he's like, ah, and then he goes out there and takes it way too far. They wanted me to ask for my five best friends. I get five friends to put in my cell phone plan. I couldn't even think of them. I couldn't think of five friends. I don't even have Jan's number anymore. She hates me. Too far.

Too far. Anyway, what I left out of my Instagram story that I wanted to save for the podcast is I'm sitting in great clips and of course did they sorry can I ask a quick question yeah

what kind of robe situation they give you like robe robe is that the right thing what's the thing the cover that they put on you it doesn't feel like it's a robe

but I don't know what the right word is shawl smock smock trash bag trash bag less breathable trash bag like a It doesn't feel like it's Roe, but I don't know what the right word is. Shawl? Smock. Smock. Trash bag. Trash bag. Less breathable trash bag. Like a, I don't know.

Yeah. Because Bo, they gave him a fun little kid's one. And I didn't know if it's really a little kid's one or if it's like, well, 90% of our customers are little kids, so maybe they just have one that looks like that. That'd be humiliating if I got like a Dragon Tales one. Like, all right, I'm going to go somewhere else. Are you a fan of Franklin the Turtle? Arthur fans?

Yeah. So it was a black trash bag they put around me. And anyway, so we start getting into it. And I'm actually pleased because we're not doing a lot of talking. Because I kind of like it. Haircuts can be relaxing. And if I got to talk a lot, it's not as relaxing.

If I had enough money, I would get my haircut every week, I think. Yeah. Like it's a little trim. Irrationally expensive to do it too often, but I'm like, I love getting my haircut. That's true. Especially just like the back of your hair,

the little, what are they called? Timon. The back, the hairs on the back of your neck? No idea. Neck smocks. Neck hairs. Scam likely. Not going to answer it, because we're stepping it up this hairs on the back of your neck? No idea. Neck smocks. Neck hairs. Scam likely. Not going to answer it because we're stepping it up this year on the podcast.

We don't need that for content. Low-hanging fruit, Tymon. Come on. Stop having your friends prank us. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. The neck, I would do that every day of my life. I would have a butler shave my neck. Yeah, 60-second butler.

Shave the back of my neck. Yeah. Good, good time. Okay. Anyway, so we haven't talked at all. But the first kind of part of the story is that, you know, they're playing some like classic rock. I'll tell you, if you want to torture me, cut my hair and whisper sing along with the

classic rock. Okay. It was a very unique experience. So she's cutting my hair, and then I don't even know what the name of the song is, but it's like, I won't back down. I think it's called Won't Back Down.

Hey, baby. There is no easy way out. Okay, look forward for me. Hey, darling. Way less volume than that, though. It was like, I am definitely the only one who can hear. It was like she was wanting me and only me to hear it. Because she's so close to my head.

She's whispering it into my ear. Whisper singing. It was miserable. Like the audio of Marilyn Monroe singing Happy Birthday to John F. Kennedy. Oh. Happy birthday, Mr. President. No, or like, what's her name from Breaking Bad

when she does it to Ted? Oh, yeah. Yeah, Skyler. Skyler. Dude, Skyler. That was what it was like. Yeah. That was awful.

Don't get me started on Skyler. That's one of the worst scenes in television. Oh, yeah. Happy birthday. Oh, yeah. You trim up the sideburns. Keep them how they are. Yeah.

So that's act one. Okay. Act two. I feel like very common, maybe girls haircut, at least guys haircut, you're always getting squirted down before they cut it. Yeah,ritz you get spritzed i've never i guess thought why that happens or that if we need it or not but yesterday it did not happen and i know why they do it so yesterday no spritz oh just getting a dry cut so what happened is never any spritz totally dry sandpaper cut what a psycho So completely dry cut. And then make

matters worse. I mean, this lady can just, is probably not that intelligent. I'll just say that she would cut my hair and then comb, comb it forward. And so all the loose hair is just falling down my face. I mean, she's cutting the front of my hair. It's falling down my hair. She's cutting the back of my hair and combing it forward. So a hair is just falling down my face. Oh, my goodness. And I'm just like, I don't verbally say anything. People please her. But I'm definitely like getting my arm out.

Oh, and she's not seeing this? She's just combing it down more. Just stand still for me. I'm like, okay. Yeah. So I'm already like, this is an entertaining haircut right now. I don't, I'm just going to close my eyes. I think I'll just,

that's how I'll get out of it. But I'm faced with a dilemma, because as bad as I want to close my eyes, I desperately want to open them, because two stalls to my right, I kid you not, a man who's just gotten done with his haircut has removed his shirt. No. What? What what hand on the bible

this happened he removes his shirt and he's like what he's getting the hair off he's getting all the hair off with his shirt off he didn't even he didn't wasn't very well smock apparently no smock up easy got his shirt off and i And I was like, well, I got to open my eyes. I got to power through. I got to see this. Oh, my gosh. Sensory overload over here. Throwing his shirt off.

What? And I was... Paint a picture of this guy. He was 53 years old. Not a lot of hair to begin with. So I can't imagine hair being that much of a problem. And it was KU. It was a gray KU Jayhawks shirt that he took off. And, um, the next part, this story sounds so ridiculous that it's going to sound made up, but I just, I promise you,

these are the next two things that happened. He took off his pants. Not quite. Well, the first thing is I noticed he also likes Won't Back Down. So then he starts singing to himself in the mirror. I'm not kidding. Won't back down. What? He's doing it to himself. The hairdresser has left. He's the only one in the stall, in the booth. His shirt is off

and he is singing karaoke to himself inside of a Great Clips. Won't back down. He was doing that. He was like head he was like he's feeling himself he loves his haircut yeah that's a satisfied customer you know like yeah that guy saw jason kelsey at the buffalo bills game he's like i'm gonna take off my he's getting praised for it over here and look at myself in the mirror get my jason kelsey haircut and yeah i was like you know great clips isn't stopping this they probably so unlikely it's so infrequent for them to have such satisfied customers they're like yeah i mean let's let them

celebrate maybe we'll tell more people about no one addressed this eventually someone does come over and address oh well why this is happening i talked to my karaoke singer i'm like you ever seen that before and she's like eight years never seen it so i was like all right this is awesome then this is rare but she didn't say didn't stop him eventually someone does come over and talk to him and like oh here we go i'm like looking over and i couldn't see but she said sir you've got to put your shoes back on shoes yeah and so like she's cutting my hair and i am like i gotta look i gotta look over and see. You're like, just a second. What's going on over there?

No way. Shoes. That all happened. What kind of shoes are you rocking? I couldn't see. I couldn't see. So he was two stalls over but behind me. So I was looking through the mirror to see him. He was like behind me and diagonal to me. So I couldn't get a viewpoint of his shoes. But she came over and said,

sir, you've got to, you've got to put your shoes on. That's where we draw the line, sir. Yeah. Your feet are just disgusting. Your feet are freaking everybody out. The shirt's fine. I mean, honestly, though, good for that.

I get it. I understand why you did it. I got my haircut last week and I did not change my shirt. And the whole day I was just a little bit like prickly, you know, like it's just, and my hair, my barber does a good job of like really tightening it up for the smock, but still it's inevitable. Dude, when they put the smock on you, I think sometimes they're kind of feeling out like, is it this button or this button?

We all do it with belts. And I feel like sometimes they're trying to make one work. That's a little tight. And so I caught myself doing this yesterday where I'm trying to bulk up my neck so they can't make it too tight, which I know, I guess in the end, it's my downfall because the more hair gets down there. But it feels like at first it's going to be so tight.

So then I'm like, trying to flex my neck. I was going to say, how are you bulking up? Yeah, that really... Normal? Is there a visual difference? Yeah. There's a difference in like your tone,

but I don't know if it changes the circumference before. Hmm. After. Oh, what is this guy doing? So I do that when I'm getting smocked. I try to, you smock it up,

make my neck have a bigger circumference. So it's not so tight. That's not a bad idea. Do you also get the white little thing around? They don't do that to me. You gotta go to my guy. What does that do? I think that's extra protection. Or maybe it's

rubbing against the neck or something. I don't know. Dude, you need to come to my barber next time. He's awesome. I took a picture of him actually the other day. He's a big... I actually meant to send it, you need to come to my barber next time. He's awesome. I took a picture of him actually the other day. He's a big – I actually meant to send it to you because we had talked – you and Peter had talked like, yeah, we need to find a barber. I was like, come to mine. Let me find it.

Here he is, dude. Just look at – this is me in the waiting room for him. Look at this guy. Whoa. Big Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. That's your guy? Yeah. Wow.

Cool dude. It looks exactly like Travis Kelsey from behind. Not quite as toned, but, you know, that's cool. Yeah, he does. He's got that beard kind of going on. Anyway, just a fun dude and does a good job. All right. I'll go to your guy.

Because I was looking. I was like, maybe it's time I go away from Great Clips. And there is a place really close to our house. But I looked on their website and they specialize in fades. So I was like, I don't know. Oh, that black barber. Yeah, downtown Shawnee. Yeah, it is. It's a bunch of black guys, and I bet

they would do a good job. You could do a little baby fade. Babe fade. Yeah. I think that's kind of what your haircut is now. You just have a little bit... That's what I do, is a little baby fade. Cool. I don't know. I just didn't know if I was even like... they just gonna laugh at me if i go in there or like dude we i think we don't cut hair like this i don't know i don't know either i go with you okay how about what he's having good content yeah um yeah those guys are always busy though i walk

by sometimes yeah good um all right my funniest funniest thing from this week is just like, I got to do a little explanation to it, but it's worth it. So we're homeschooling our kids. Correct. Timon, you know this? Yes.

When you homeschool, sometimes you go fill in the blanks for me here. Okay. Homeschooling takes place primarily at home. Very good. Oh, wow. And you're providing your kids a good education. Schooling.

Sure. Yeah. I thought it was homeschooling. Oh yeah. Upbringing. All of it. Yeah. Okay. Okay. But sometimes you join with other homeschooling families and you go to a school that is formally known as a co-op. Co-op. Very good. So we go to a co-op right now. We love the co-op to an extent, but at the same time, we're thinking about changing. So maybe we don't love it. I don't know. Um,

it's good. We were not like, whatever. Uh, so whatever, all the, all the homeschooling people out there will know these terms, but we're thinking about doing something called classical education.

Ever heard of that? Tell me about it. I don't know that much about it. Is it like classical conditioning? Remind me what that is. That's like Pavlov's dog type stuff. Like, here's this, here's your reward. Here's this trigger, here's this outcome.

It's exactly like that. Okay. So they treat you like lab dogs. Like a salivating dog or a mouse in a cage. Yeah, so it's just they put you, you take whatever house you own right now and you find the smallest house possible and see what you are like in a small environment and and then other person has a normal one and so you'd compare yeah no i don't know honestly i i

could be butchering this explanation so take it for what it's worth but here's one of the things i know about it timing have you ever done classical i don't think. Here's one of the things I know about it. Have you ever done classical? I don't think so. One of the things that they do is they memorize a lot when they're little kids. You memorize history and stuff. As a first grader, Hattie's going to know the world history

or something like that. I think that's a great idea to memorize history. Is this classical conversations? Okay. Classical conversations is like the curriculum. Okay, because I have a lot of friends who've done that. Yes. And I have a lot of obscure things memorized. Yes, it is.

It's a lot of memorization. But you didn't. I didn't. Wow. Yeah. No, I would love my kids to be just like Tymon. But no, they, yeah, so you memorize a lot. And then like you take what you've memorized

first grade and then you add on to it and go deeper and deeper and deeper the older you get kind of thing. Okay. So it's kind of interesting. Like, and it's, it kind of makes sense to me because there's certain times where I've like heard an office quote, let's say, and then four years later, I actually understand what it means. But like, I'm like, well, I already memorized the quote. That makes sense now that I,

you know, whatever. So like, you know, they learn about ancient Egypt or whatever. And then later on they learn science that has to do with ancient or that you got whatever, all these different things. I think you would probably geek out about it if Catherine told you more, but cool. Yeah. I'm Googling it. It sounds interesting. So yeah. So the, for this homeschooling version of classical education is called classical conversation, CC. And so all that to say, my kids and Hattie and Bo and Catherine went and toured this like new co-op that has CC, like a CC co-op. And the funny thing about it is instead of calling it cc bo came back and kept calling it

aa which is like alcoholics not you know and so he's like yeah what's aa today with mom and hattie why that's funny like so he knows letters well enough to know like there are different letters yeah i don't know c and a are just like kind of cross-wired right now. And Hattie kept being like, it's C-C. He says Hattie's name all the time these days. So he's like, I know, Hattie. I just forgot. And so, you know, it's just funny, like just imagining Bo and Hattie and Catherine

going to AA meetings together. Like, yeah, Rosie stayed home because she's too young for AA. Rosie doesn't need it, but me and Hattie and Catherine going to AA meetings together. Like, yeah, Rosie stayed home because she's too young for AA. Rosie doesn't need it, but me and Hattie went to AA. Yeah, I went to AA and we just sat in a circle and shared our feelings. It's funny thinking about a little kid. Yeah, so he just 10 times already since he's gone, he calls it AA. Yeah, I made that an AA. Just imagine somebody not knowing what he's talking about.

Like, what are you, just going with your mom? They have childcare these days, which is good for them. Wow, that's good, yeah. I got CCs at AA. Yeah. Oh, man, you're struggling. Yeah. They had good snack time, though, at AA.

So anyway, it's just funny. That's a funny mix're struggling. Yeah. They had good snack time, though, at AA. So anyway, it's just funny. That's a funny mix-up. Yeah. I know, Hattie. I just forgot. Bo's been doing some great one-liners lately. He's also on the way home from church. He was teaching Hattie the song that he learned in Sunday school,

and Hattie kept trying to sing it, and Bo kept being like, no, that's not it. That's not it. And then finally, Hattie did it right, like did the right amount of times with singing everything. And he goes, that was great. Now do it 40 more times. So for whatever reason, I just thought that was, it was so funny. Like it sounded like he was like a coach or something like that's great. Hattie now do it 40 more times. So Catherine, I've been saying that at the house lately. Okay, cool. Okay. Now do it 40 more times. So Catherine and I have been saying that at the house lately. Okay, cool.

Okay, now do it 40 more times. Show me again. Yeah. So anyway, my kids are in AA with my wife. They're all going together. And they like it. They're thinking about converting over to AA. And Tymon did not grow up doing this.

Tymon's not an AA guy, but he's got a lot of friends. And you support them yeah yeah very good what uh education system did you guys use um i mean it's just like a lot of different curriculums for different subjects oh i see but never like uh necessarily like just follow the curriculum of a co-op it's been it's like yeah we figure it out or from what i understand often it's been just like, yeah, we figure it out. Or from what I understand often, it's like you do one curriculum for this subject, one curriculum for this subject. And then like, sometimes you're like,

okay, that we didn't love that curriculum. Let's try a different one. Oh yeah. It's, I mean, it's like every year there's something that's changed. Yeah.

Yeah. So that's kind of nice about homeschooling. It doesn't work for you. Just change it. Yeah. Right. It's the whole gig. It's kind of part of the point.

It's like, hey, my kid is not learning very well with this. Let's figure out how to make it best for my child. That's fun. Anyway, kids going to AA. Kids going to AA. I got a text from my sister a couple days ago. You guys might remember, maybe a couple months ago or so, she sent me a picture of a bunch of like

cheesy decor signs from a gas station Minneapolis they were some of the cheesiest cringiest funniest stuff that we reacted to I'm trying to even remember some of them now one of them was Irish something like it was about yeah there were two random super random Irish ones yeah I can't remember now i know shoot i thought i could find it in our old text somewhere whatever just look up irish uh she sent me a new batch of them and i have not even looked at them because i was like uh the text along with the picture was like hey i went into minneapolis gas station again here's some funny signs i was like you know i'm not even looking we're just going to save them for the podcast so hopefully

caitlin delivered i'm going to read you for the podcast. So hopefully, Caitlin delivered. I'm going to read you guys these signs. All right? Well, yeah, go ahead. I think it'd be fun to try to fill in the blanks. Guess some of them? Yeah. All right.

All right. All right. Okay. All right. This one's for you to fill in the blanks. So at the bottom of this sign, it says live, love, spoil. At the top of the sign, in bigger font. It's just one word.

What is it? I got it. Okay. What do you think? Bottom says live, love, spoil pets. Oh, that's good. I was, I was going to say grandkid grandchildren. Wow. Correct answer is Nana. Oh, so yeah. her responsibility as a Nana. I'm Nana. I live, love, spoil. Okay, quick aside. That's a good one. Because I was thinking Nana,

like all the different names for grandparents. Hattie right now, for whatever reason, calls me Papa Loja a lot. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You've said that before. Strange. And I said, what if when I'm a grandpa, you just call me Loja?

Thoughts? That's great. That's your grandpa name? Yeah, Papa Loja, you just call me Loja? Thoughts? That's great. That's your grandpa name? Yeah. Papa Loja. Just Loja. Loja. We're going to Catherine and Loja's house.

Catherine and Loja. Just very formal. You will call me grandmother or Catherine. That's it. You can call me Loja. I'm Loja. Yeah. I like Loja.

Kind of fun. It's Hawaiian. Yeah, exactly. I think. I don't know. Papa Loja. Kind of fun. It's Hawaiian. Yeah, exactly. I think. I don't know. Papa Loja. All right, go ahead. All right.

Next one. Another fill in the blank. This is a burgundy maroon colored sign. And it says, wine goes in, blank comes out. And just if you're curious, every one of these signs has two different fonts on them. Nana was in a different font than Live Love Spoil. Wine Goes In is in a completely different font than Blank Comes Out. That's how you convey humor.

Wine Goes In, Filter Comes Out. You want to get me honest? Wine Goes In. Is it Comes Out or Goes Out? Comes Out. Okay out I don't know the monster comes out the fun me comes out fun me

Nana comes out correct answer is wine goes in all caps serif font wisdom comes out wisdom cursive wisdom comes out um no working during blank hours no working during bachelor hours

stick with the last one no working during wine hours close drinking hours drinking hours that signs that one's dumb there's no element of humor in that that's that's just like a good principle to uh i guess it's the opposite of what there's you know no drinking during work you know hours stupid though all right that was one of my uh a pastor in manhattan that i had he's also a woodworker and he's like the one thing i'll tell you brad is never mix alcohol with woodworking i'm like i wasn't planning on that i won't i yeah so i was like okay no problem you got it i'm trying to figure out which two words to blank out in this one because it is fun. All right. Well, you got to tell us the colors.

I like the... Okay, okay. This is a... We have light blue around the outside, like a light blue border. Four flowers in the bottom left and the bottom right corner. Two flowers each. Two flowers each.

Okay, thank you. Within the light blue border, we now have what looks like... I don't know., doesn't matter. A dry erase board in the middle of that. Okay. I don't know. Just there's white inside.

Yeah. Okay. Okay. Blank are often spoiled because no one will spank blank. Oh, gosh. Blank are often spoiled because no one will spank blank oh gosh blank are often spoiled because no one will spank blank grandkids are often spoiled because no one will spank angels that's exactly what i was gonna say no way yes maybe grandchildren but yeah wait your guess is what was with the angels at the end you don't spank angels. They're just angels. You can't spank them.

Oh, the kids are angels. I thought it was like some like you can't spank an angel. You can't reach them. They'll fly away. Come here, Gabriel. Gabriel!

Get down here. Come here. Peter? Yeah. You just thought I was just coming completely under the weather. I was like

there's two different sentences. You want to spoil your grandchildren, and also, have you ever tried to spank an angel? Nope, yeah. It doesn't happen. Okay, that's why I was so lost. All right, you're not super far off. The correct answer is, children are often spoiled because no one will spank grandma. Three different fonts.

Children has its own font. The middle sentence, a different font. And then grandma is in cursive. Okay. So this is an older crowd. For sure. I think it's Nana's crowd. No one will spank grandma.

No one's going to spank grandma. Not in Minnesota, they won't. All right. Last one that we could see all of. I'm excited. Caitlin, maybe intentionally so, cut off the last sign so we can just try and guess what the last part is. Oh, this one's awful. This is my least favorite one.

Because it starts off with, I don't know who needs to hear this. Dot, dot, dot. But a blank of blank fits in the cup holder of a treadmill. Okay, wait. One more time. I don't know who needs to hear this. But a blank of blank fits in the cup holder of a treadmill. Dude, how much do people really like wine and alcohol that much?

Yeah. Like, I just don't get it, first of all. Because it's definitely alcoholic, right? It's got to be either a pint of beer or a glass of wine or something like that. It's not that good. Rachel and I talk about this all the time.

So many people, their entire social life revolves around alcohol. Dude, we should get together before the game. Yeah, grab some beers. Dude, we should catch up. Yeah, we should grab a beer. Dude, Friday night, we should grab drinks. It's so expensive to live that way, and it doesn't taste good that way. I've had a few times where

a beer tastes really, really refreshing and good. And then you look down, and you're like, oh, it was a Dr. Pepper. Whoops. It was a dark ale. It was extra fizzy cherry drink. Non-alcoholic. yeah but but very few times have i ever been like i need a beer right now so i think it's a glass of wine is my guess okay time

and that's my first thought yeah shot of whiskey you guys don't run on treadmills as much as i do correct answer bottle of wine bottle of wine big old they are big treadmill cup holders i will say that yeah that's good dude the treadmill in uh um what i'm trying to say oh harris michigan i found a treadmill in the casino dude it didn't have four points of contact with the ground it was like a wobbly chair so when i would run on it it was going going back and forth. It was so loud. I didn't know what to do, though. It was just the treadmill in the workout center. It wasn't touching the ground fully.

It was just trying to simulate real running on the ground. This has got to be awful for my knees. It's like more impact this way. Was it only one foot? It was top right, bottom left. We're going back and forth. Was it designed this way? I don't think so. It was cheap.

I can't tell you how loud it was in there. I was like, man, it is piercing through the noise-canceling AirPods. Everyone in here has got to be so annoyed. But it'll be done in like 10 minutes. Dude. Yeah. Anyway, back to this. The last one that I can't see.

It looks like it might be a VW Bug. I'll let you see it. It's at the very bottom. The top of it just says, sorry for what I said, and that's all we get to see. What do you think that is on the very bottom? Sorry for what I said.

I would never say that's a VW Bug. Or a VW like a van. Sorry, yeah, van. I still don't think that's what it is, but I can't tell what it is. I mean, everything's been grandmas or alcohol. There's got to be something with that. Sorry for what I said when the wine was talking. Yeah.

Sorry for what I said. Sorry for what I said. That wasn't me. That was my friend. It's a really long sign. Sorry for what I said because that wasn't me that was my friend it's a really long sign sorry for what i said because that wasn't really me that was my friend jack daniels talking i'm just trying to i'm distracted by trying to figure out what the bottom of this we should do like that ai thing where you like

take a picture of your eyeball and it shows you the rest of the picture. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, do that with this. Like a, yeah, AI, like, Phil. Phil. Sorry for what I said. I was camping. It looks like a camper. Sorry for what I said in the hammock. Is it a live photo? Caitlin?

Thank God. I don't trust the Mac. Let's get on my phone and see. Sorry for what I said on this stressful road trip with my family. Sometimes family dynamics can be hard over long distances. That's the entire story. Yeah. It is a live photo.

We do get to see slightly more of it. Brad, you're a genius. All right. Enhance. Enhance. Zoom in and enhance. All right. we could see more of it dude that doesn't help a whole lot oh it does come on all right all right together what is that together we achieve more oh no it oh oh for just a second you you see the very bottom of that picture. Oh, my gosh.

Can I edit? I'm going to edit and go to a different part of the live. I think I already did that. No, Jake. Sorry for what I said. Yeah, you did. Dang. I was at AA.

Sorry for what I said. Sorry for what I said. Sorry for what I said at AA. It's a great clips. My mom was rushing me out the door. Dang. It looks like a trailer. It does.

It's like a camper, a trailer, VW Buzz. It's something like that. Sorry for what I said. Oh, man. This is going to bug me. I know. This is the only one she sent. Yeah, that's all we have.

How often are you taking one picture of something? Just curious. For something like this, I only take one. But if there's humans involved, never just take one. I know. At least two every time. So I wonder if she's got one more for us. Get back to us, Caitlin.

That's fun. I'll text her right now. Anyway, yeah, fun little game. Now do it 40 more times um oh jake no we're gonna talk about that next on wednesday um let's see let's talk about uh last monday's episode people are wanting to know what i bleeped out yeah that really did make some people curious the bleep is so triggering, man. It's amazing. People love it and hate it. Yeah, it's just like, yeah, it's just instant humor, instant like,

we are so trained to hear a bleep and just think, that is inappropriate. I can't believe it. I believe the exact words I said. I think it was something that we like saw coming. We're like, we're just going to pretend to bleep this out. It's not anything bad at all. Yeah, it was a setup. That was the whole bit was that we're

going to fake bleep. Yeah. I think I, I think the words I said were rubber, bubby, rubber, baby, rubber, buggy, baby bumper. Yeah. That was something like that. Something like that. That's what was bleeped. So that was, that was it. And then the other bleeps was, uh, the name of my new LLC because I've, I've learned from the last time that you shouldn't just announce that on a podcast because then people could find out where you live. Cause then people will search it. And yeah, thanks to our CPA,

Connor Kelderman. Yeah. So that's what I bleeped. Um, let's talk about the chiefs game. Yeah, it was awesome. It was great.

I don't know what's going to gonna happen if you're listening to this maybe the chiefs from the super bowl maybe they lost sadly to lamar jackson it's fun that uh mahomes is the winningness like you know winning percentage wise like you know winningest quarterback in playoff history when he's down seven points he wins 80 of the time i think tom brady is second winning 45 of the time wow you know like it's it's crazy he's like eight and one in his career like when he's the underdog yeah he was underdog last week he's the underdog again this week no one thinks the chiefs have a chance to win so that's great all we can do is just shock people everyone thinks we're gonna lose great do you think people really think we're going to lose?

I mean, that's the majority. The experts are saying it. Yeah, I know. The Vegas odds say we're going to lose. Yeah. I mean, the analysts say, yeah, the Chiefs look good, but no one could stop the Ravens. It's just one of those things where it's just like Tom Brady back in the day

where he was like, I'm scared of Tom Brady no matter what. Yeah. At the end of the day, they got my homes in Reed. So we'll see what happens. But yeah, we went to the Peck's house. Scott hosted us for the Chiefs game. It was a blast. Great video on the Facebook page if you want to see our reactions.

Yeah, dude. I wish I would have gone even crazier if I knew I was getting taped. Well, Palmer and Sam were asleep, so I think we had to be quiet. Yeah, that was – Yeah. Yes. That was... I probably... They went to bed in the second half and I probably apologized to Sam and Scott five times

in the second half. I wasn't super loud, but I was just like, catch it! Sorry, Scott. Sorry, dude. Sorry, man. Because they were sleeping right above us. Pick it up! Sorry, dude. Sorry, dude. Sorry, dude. Sorry, dude.

My bad. My bad, dude. But yeah, Rachel was there with us. Not as intuitive as we were, but still a big old fan. Still showed up. Still showed up. Wearing her Chiefs shirt. Was she?

Mm-hmm. Oh, that's good. One fun part of the game is that I decided to sports bet for the first time in a while. And I was feeling froggy. We were trying to make it was me and Gunnar and Brad all in the car. Brad's new car on the way to Scott's house. And we're driving there. I start to realize, oh, man, here in about 10 minutes, we're going to get in Missouri.

Correct. And we're going to build a sports bet anymore. So I got to fire him off right now. We're still in Kansas. Like your phone knows your location obviously and yeah Kansas can bet Missouri can't and yeah we're like Kansas City is on the border so literally 10 minutes later we start in Kansas Scott's is in Missouri it's so far that's frenetic like oh we gotta go what are you doing we yeah let's all do the same thing and one one of the bets I did is I was like,

hey, there's a bet in here for a guy named Blake Bell to score two touchdowns. If you're an Oklahoma Sooner guy, you know the bell dozer. It's kind of fun. And it shows you the odds, but sometimes it's hard to understand like, okay, what is plus 3,500? What does that really get me?

So then you start to put in a dollar amount, and it says, oh, well, you, you know, you put in $100, you'll win $3,500, or whatever that is. Right, right. And so once you start putting in money, then it becomes hard to make that money go down, because all you see is how much you could win.

So I don't remember what the actual odds are, but I ended up putting $15 on a guy named Blake Bell to score two touchdowns for the Chiefs. And the payout would have been $2,200. I was so excited. If anyone offers you $1,000 to one on anything, you take it. And this is a guy, I was trying to explain it to Rachel, and I was like, I did something a little irresponsible. This is a guy who, he's maybe scored once in the last two years,

maybe twice. Let me tell you, I just looked it up. He scored once in 2023, and his total touchdowns in his career is two. I do think he scored one in the playoffs for us last year. I think I remember that. Yeah?

I don't know if that counts towards his stats, but yeah. Surely. Not a lot of scoring from Blake Bell, but I was like, hey, let's just do it. It'll be something fun for Root for. And so even though no one else had money invested in it, it was fun. Everyone else the whole game, we were all like, hey, Bell's in.

Blake Bell's in. He's in the huddle. You see him? We were all so excited. We found out at halftime, we saw the stat, and it said the Chiefs are running. Oh, by the way way he's their third string tight end he doesn't really get in the game that least the gluck would have drafted him in the

first round of the phase he drafted but everyone else love you lisa in halftime uh someone shares this stat and it's like the chiefs are running a three tight end set 69 of the time which is higher than any other team in nfl history and I was like, never done it before. Yeah. They've never done it before. I was like, yeah, I'm a genius.

I knew it. This is going to pay off in the second half. And so it was funny. Like the odds were, did become very much in my favor. Like we were so excited every time he was on the field. Like what if dude, that's him there.

What if, and, uh, he never touched the ball, never touched it all game. He was in there to block as it turns out, but man, it was riveting.

Hey, uh, August 16th birthday. What about it? Oh, close. 21st. 7th. Dang it. August 7th, 1991. Blake Bell was born. You guys are pretty much the same. He's a Kansas boy. That's cool. Wichita. No, he's that old.

Yeah. So anyway, go Blake. I mean, do we double down here? Yeah. Go $30 this week? It was so fun. Like, there's Blake. Let's go, Blake. And we were like, you know, replaying all these different like crazy scenarios. Like, what if he scores right before the end of the game to take it into overtime,

and then he scores the touchdown to win it? Oh, how fun would that be? You know, we're just like discounting like the fact that it's not going to happen, and then all of a sudden he scored once. And then it was a very fun game. Yeah. And yeah, it's just fun. All of us just get so pumped up for the game.

We're just sending tweets back and forth. You know, we're sending links of all these breakdowns and all this stuff. I love it. I was showing Rachel. She's like, you guys are such boys. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the this stuff. I love it. I was showing Rachel. She's like, you guys are such boys. I was like, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. This is the only sports team I cheer for. I am going to be extremely excited about it. You said that you were thinking about Patrick Mahomes on stage the other night. Dude, I was. It was crazy. It was just, I was so excited for that Bills game. I just knew they were going to win.

I just, I was so confident. And I had looked at every piece of entertainment, so excited for that bills game i just knew they were gonna win i just i was so confident and i looked at every piece of entertainment sports analyst game film you know leading up to it i was just it was like i was playing and uh yeah i i've caught myself thinking about him on stage while performing one night in michigan so unbelievable tells you how fun the michigan shows were yeah yeah you want to talk about them you You want to, you want to give us a breakdown?

brutal cold, but stayed indoors most of it. Ran my mile outside in Wisconsin. Slippery little sidewalks, but I got it done. Yeah,. You know, ran my mile outside in Wisconsin. Slippery little sidewalks, but I got it done. Yeah, that town, it was Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Spelled E-A-U Claire. Not a single O in the name, but you got to pronounce it Eau Claire. I was talking to, I was doing like crowd work.

I was like, who's like, you guys have anyone famous from here? And they were like, yeah, Bon Iver. How do I know this stuff? How in the world do you know that? How did you just know that? I know how I knew it. Are you ready? Guy that worked for Navigators,

one of the ministries I was involved in at K-State, used to work at Wisconsin Eau Claire, and I was really into Bon Iver in college. Still like him, fine. Or the band, whatever, Justin Vernon. And Justin Vernon, yeah, I think the guy was like, oh yeah, he's from Eau Claire. So random that you know that and that he's from there. Sorry for stealing your thunder.

No, the thunder was there for the taking. Yeah. But I just thought it was interesting that the, I was like, this whole town is built on mispronunciation. Bon Iver is from Eau Claire. That's amazing. Of course, that's where he, you know, he spells his name that way. You said that on stage? Yeah, I did. That's funny. Yeah, thanks. That's amazing. Of course, that's where he spells his name that way.

You said that on stage? Yeah, I did. That's funny. Yeah, thanks. That's really good. Thanks. The next famous person, I was like, anybody else? They're like, Paul Bunyan.

I was like, that's great. You have one famous guy, and the next one's not even real. I was going to say, is Paul Bunyan real? No, it's just like a folklore thing. It's like, really? Yeah, but apparently he has roots. I don't even know. I didn't follow up on that one.

I was like, that's just hilarious. Well, Paul Bunyan's here. That's a fun thing to claim. Yeah, Jack of the Beanstalk's from Stratford. Clark Kent's from, or Superman's from Kansas. You just say that, yeah, if they're not real, who cares? You know Little Miss Muffet? Yeah, she grew up in Olathe. She had a small

stint in Olathe before she went to sit on her tuffet. People know her from Wichita, but no, she grew up in Olathe. Little Jack Horner is a Shawnee kid. Actually was really just a punk of a kid. Benjamin Gates. Benjamin Gates, I don't know that name. He's the main character from National

Treasure. Yeah, he's from Branson. Yeah, he's a Branson guy. Yeah, he went to SFO, but yeah, he's from Branson. Yeah, he didn't go public school. Weird details. His parents really were like trying to shelter. He did classical conditioning or classical education. He's in AA now.

Oh, you mean CC? I do not. AA, yeah. Anyway, Paul Bunyan's from there. Yeah, I should have went off on that. Like, do you just get to claim? How do you know he's from here? How's that work?

It's fictional. I like that. Forrest Gump, Green bata lama no no los angeles yeah they don't they don't say that part in this in the movie but i i watched um an interview that they don't it's not anywhere to be found anymore but yeah i watched an interview on hunter biden's laptop and one of the only things in there yeah just said where he's from he had a different different accent for a while.

Anyway, Wisconsin show was actually amazing because I'm like, I don't even know where we are. I don't know if people live here. I feel like I ran

around the whole town and I was like, I don't know if people are going to show up tonight, but one of the best shows, one of the most fun shows I've had on tour.

I think just the crowd work was really good. The things I thought of were good. I had good interactions with people, but a long time go see Jen Vorpal, her husband, Steve.

Turns out the guy who was doing crowd work, right? They kept calling him picky Steve. That was her husband the whole time. I was like, picky Steve. We've been in a fancy league together. I had no idea you were picky Steve. That's awesome. But they were super sweet.

Awesome. Gave me a wedding gift. They want to give us cheese. Met some of her family. So they were great. Wisconsin was awesome. Gave me a wedding gift. They want to give us cheese. Met some of her family. So they were great. Wisconsin was awesome. And then the next day we drive to Harris, Michigan,

which is so funny. I had people DMing me from Harris, Michigan. And be like, are you sure? Do you want to come here? Like, why are you coming here? Like other people from Michigan being like, I live in the upper peninsula, Michigan, and I've never heard of Harris, Michigan. Like, well, that's not good.

This is a super tiny town, but what they do have is a casino. So they booked us for two nights and dude, it's fascinating. It was right on the time zone border. You'd be in one part of the casino, watch the central time. Other parts of the casino, eastern time.

Really? Crazy. How do they live this way? Sure, that's probably why it's such a small town. No one wants to. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's wild. So you have to clarify every time you want to meet with somebody.

Like, hey, let's meet at, you know, whatever, 5 p.m. Eastern for dinner. Yeah, constantly. The casino had signs up everywhere that would say, this casino runs on Eastern time. Interesting. I wonder why that matters. Like why they chose one or the other? Or why they have to tell people that.

Oh, I think they're to tell people that, Oh, I think you just, they're doing shows there. You know, everyone needs to know like the show is at seven lunches from 12 to three, you know, whatever, like everything we live in a city of a world of laws, Brad,

we have to be on the same page. I'll just try to think like, why does it matter if you're at a casino? But yeah, if you're like trying to, cause I'm just saying like casinos open 24 seven, they don't even want you to know the time. Like FYI, it.m it's like no it's not it's four yeah time's not really yeah if it was only slot machines they don't even need time but um dude it's fascinating

i've never been in a casino like this it just the lack of just like resources might be the right word okay i you know the first time in my life i'm ever on a health kick, I could not find a fruit or a vegetable anywhere in the casino. You only have two food options. It's like a sports bar or another sports bar, basically. It's like Sandals Bahamas all over again. Everything's fried, and there's no DoorDash there. We don't have a car. There's a BP gas station that's walkable.

Maybe I could have found a banana there or something, but, um, yeah, it was crazy. I was like talking to a guy. I was like, man, the food's kind of crazy, right? He's like, yeah, crazy. Good. And I was like, yeah, that's what I meant. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I should have, I should have looked at you and known that's probably what you would have said. I mean, I don't think, well, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that casinos are known for like, have like cultivating good habits in people. You know what I mean? Like, it's like, oh, we want people to come here and change the way they're disciplined in life. Get a little better. Yeah. Hey, don't indulge. Don't, don't go beyond your means here. Like don't go beyond your limits,

have an apple and get out of here. Get some good sleep, huh? That's a good point. You know? Yeah, they're not encouraging. They don't have AA meetings in the casino. No. Yeah, they're not handing out nicotine patches. Right. So, yeah, maybe it's to be expected. But yeah, not even like a buffet anywhere.

Not like, you know. But they did have a spa. They had a fitness center. I tried to get a massage at the spa, and they were like, oh, we're all booked up. And I was like, there's no one in here. So I don't think you're all booked up, but whatever.

It's low season. They don't have any staff, maybe. That's it. Bummer. I was joking with people. So, yeah, we're there for two straight days of, like, can't leave, nowhere to go, just two food options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Just going back and forth between them. Do I want the Reef or do I want Charlie's?

The Reef. Yeah. What did you end up getting at these places? I would get chicken tenders. I tried a chicken Caesar wrap. That was gross. Really? Yeah.

It was the healthiest thing on the menu, though, so I tried it. And then I would get pizza quite a bit, and that was fine. It was like as bad as – it's still good because it's pizza but it's about the floor for pizza yeah like that sauce is interesting i think you're using something you're not supposed to in that sauce yeah you you or you forgot something you know like yeah you didn't put something you should put sugar in the sauce right um but i was joking with people i was like if i spent three more days here it would turn into the plot of the terminal with tom hanks have you seen that movie?

A long time ago. Where it's just like the whole airport becomes his world where he has his own ecosystem. He's got friends in the catering business. He finds a way to make a living in there. Yeah. I was like, I'm close to that

because they did give us key cards and there was not a single door I tried, you know, that said employees only where it didn't work. So I could go anywhere I wanted in there. Oh, wow. That was pretty fun. It was a very low-key casino.

Like the pit bosses are just laughing and joking around. Like it was very chill. Huh. And yeah, I was in like back alleyways, private elevators. That part was nice. Really? I was like, maybe I could live here.

Did you guys have a sweet room? I did. I can't believe I didn't even write that down to talk about. Biggest hotel I've ever had. To the point where it was annoying if you forgot something on the other side. Like, oh, I forgot my toothbrush. On the other side?

My toothbrush was in the second bathroom. What? I was like, they had to have made a mistake. Because I'm like kind of like. Were you by yourself? Yeah. I'm like, Isaac and Alan, do you guys have like, what's your hotel room like? Just ballpark for me.

Do you have like a living room and then a bedroom and then like another part? How many fridges do you have in yours? And I think Trey had a nice room, but I think Alan and Isaac just had normal rooms, so. Huh. I don't know what I did deserve that. Do they share a room? Alan and Isaac, or do they have their own too? No. Last tour, we were all sharing. Me and Alan,

me and Lucas a lot, me and Tom occasionally. This tour, all get our own rooms. Nice. It was great, yeah. Like a truly like, it was a walk. It was great. Yeah. Like a truly like it was a walk. It was like annoying, like, ah, chargers on that side. So what, tell me what, is it like, I mean, I don't even know what to expect. I mean, I've, I've, I've stayed in like a suite S U I T E room where it's like, there's a little living room, you know, pull out couch. And then there's like a, another room, but is it, was it? I took a video for Rachel.

Cause then I always think of like the suite on like the hangover or something like that. Now this wasn't like a penthouse suite. Cause I think there was a floor above me. That's where Trey stayed probably. Yeah, maybe. So you can kind of see here. Yeah. It opens up a whole living room area.

And then over there, there's also like a whole living room area. And then over there, there's also like a whole walkway. Let me fast forward here. I was doing weird stuff because I just sent this to Rachel. I was like tapping the coffee machine and stuff. Yeah. Then you walk all the way over here.

Oh, wow. You've got this whole... Oh, wow. Yeah. King-size bed over there dude that's awesome must be nice it was sweet um sweet life so yeah uh those shows were you know casino shows are not as fun just because the crowds are less they're not really your fans you know at least half the people there are just like gamblers um it's a little quieter but i had some good ghosties um at each show oh yeah i mean page kuko her husband elizabeth virgil um janelle koza i think the ukrainian one remember her from f12 i always say kata guys yeah uh they all road tripped and made a day out of it um hayley

kunzi oh yeah something like that kunz um she's a whisk i thought she's a wisconsin girl they all road tripped and made a day out of it. Um, Haley Kuntz. Oh yeah. Something like that. Kuntz. Um, she's a, I thought she's Wisconsin girl. Made the drive.

Maybe she's Michigan. Sorry if you're Michigan. I don't know. Maybe that's offensive. I am not from Wisconsin. Hey. Yeah. And then,

um, girl named Megan Lundeen, I believe is her last name. Okay. I went out and met her and she said, I can't believe I'm meeting you right now. You are the only celebrity I want to meet or something like that. You were the, you were the number one celebrity I would want to meet in life.

I was like, holy cow. Well, I'm glad I came out here. Jeez. I thought about just going back to my massive room. She was awesome. Her whole family was awesome. Turns out her dad, who she was there with, was the one I was talking to during crowd work with him.

Wow. So yeah, I feel like I did a lot of crowd work with ghosties not knowing it. That's awesome. So just good, good times, good ghosties.

That's so crazy. You're the one celebrity I want to meet. Yeah, something like that. You're the number one celebrity I would want to meet right now or something.

Has that, I mean, no one's ever told me that. So I'm not trying to compare myself to you, but like, I just don't feel special at all. You know what I mean? It doesn't feel like what we're doing deserves that kind of like attention. Yeah. Like I'm just, I cannot express to you how much I just would love to be your friend in real life. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's like, yeah, when people say that, it's like, is this because I talk to my friend for two hours a week? Is that all I've had to do to earn that?

Or is this because of like the 30 minutes on stage? Sure. Like there's, you know, some talent there, I guess. But wow. Yeah. It's because I talked to my friend. I will say the other day I messaged, do you know who George Camel is? No.

You might recognize him. He's like kind of a guy underneath Dave Ramsey and the Ramsey solution. Like gotcha. There's this podcast sometime. He's like our age ish. I don't know. He's just a normal guy, but he's kind of a big deal because he's on this podcast and a talk show and everything. And I messaged him about something not knowing if you'd even respond. And he responded. He's like, hey, man, big fan of you and Jake. And I'm like, what? You know my friend's name? Yeah. And I was kind of like starstruck from that. So I'm like, maybe it is like a thing.

I don't know. It's different when they actually like interact with you. Yeah. I'm like, whoa, you responded. You're like a normal guy. I mean, he's got like 150,000 followers or something. So he's not like massive still big enough maybe is he listening right now george what's up george mr camel anyway um yeah shows were good it's fun we got a little break we're off in february yeah all of february i i looked at your schedule because i was like i don't know if jake's yeah

Tymon's coming along to film it. And then my only other performance in February is at Rachel's old high school.

Okay. Do you know I was doing that? I think I had heard rumors. Okay, I couldn't remember. Yeah. Angie Coop is kind of a part of this dollars for scholars fundraiser thing and they're doing a comedy night and I'm coming and we're gonna pack the house. Just you or is it like? There is a local improv group opening up for me. Fun. Could be great. Could be interesting. What if they're like, Jake, you want to get in on this? Would you yes yeah who cares yeah it's fun oh it'd be awesome yeah that's fun uh i want to know about angie's

coffee business yeah uh so she's opening up a yeah coffee shop in downtown dyke iowa which is the neighboring town to rachel's hometown the town's combined for the high school. So the high school is called Dyke, New Hartford. I told Trey that and he was like, Rachel's high school is called Dyke, New Harvard. No, but that's hilarious. Pretty close. Yeah. Yeah. Mr. Dyke and Mr. Harvard, they come by. But yeah, it's a really cool spot. It's like, you know, classic small town, downtown city square, which is like cute and small and fun. And anyway, they've got this building

right on the corner. It's a perfect spot. There's a loft above it. They own the apartments above it as well. Oh, cool. Anyway, it's going to be really cool.

They're waiting now because there's like a, there's a grant in Iowa that they're giving money to small businesses if you're willing to like basically invest into the downtown

of these small towns. Revitalization kind of thing. Yeah, yeah. And so it's like a pretty large grant. So like, well, we really want to, like she just retired, so she'd love to hit the ground running. But it's like, well, for this amount,

I should probably wait. Okay. Because it's like you submit the grant and say, I'm going to use it for this, this, and this money. And you can't get reimbursed for that later. Okay. You kind of just have to wait and see if you get the grant and then go spend it on all those things.

So they are not running the, it's not operating yet. Correct. Okay. They're starting to do little things like when the town gets together, maybe for like a Christmas parade or something like that. She's there at the corner handing out, you know, different stuff, you know, different companies. Because they've already found like a roaster

and they know where their beans are going to come from. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's coming along but waiting on like more the legal you know not as fun side of things yeah but thanks for asking red tape just the red red tape uh okay i natural segue sorry about going back to the coffee but back to oh man it's hard for you to find healthy stuff. Michigan. You know where there's some good healthy stuff? Goodranchers.com.

You want some healthy meat? You want some good protein in your life? Go to goodranchers.com. Buy yourself. Buy yourself. Buy yourself, buy myself, buy herself. Some meat. They got all sorts. I'm going to read a nice testimonial from Leslie Montandon. Montandon.

Sounds like a dinosaur. Whoa, you got a Montandon? This is the femur of a Montandon. Look at this. Yeah. Montandon. No, we're going to go Montandon. All right, Montandon. She said, Tonight as I was fixing supper, which was smoked sirloin from good ranchers. I was listening to Jake and Brad's most recent ad read for good ranchers and Brad's story about how he could tell the chicken Catherine

made. Wasn't just good ranchers. Totally agree. In fact, the other day, my husband smoked some ribeyes and he said they were the best steaks he's ever eaten. And he isn't one of those people who normally makes exclamations about food. Get you some good ranchers. Thanks for making my dinner cooking more enjoyable. That's all you need right there. That's a real testimonial. From Lady Montadon. She's not getting paid at all for that. Not as far as I know.

I mean, and it is that much better. Yeah. We had their fajita chicken at Scott's house for the Chiefs game, and Jake was just like, what is this? What is this? Did you notice? I didn't even have fajitas. I just had the chicken all night. You did? Yeah. That's all I had. You're just like grazing on the chicken. You're like, I can't stop eating this.

Yeah. I just had chicken. It just, I don't know how else to say it. We say it every week. It really is so good. And chicken, they're doing a big promo with chicken right now in January. So it's time to get some good stuff. If you subscribe to any box, you get free chicken for a year. So that's $189 value free when you subscribe in January. So new year, new me.

Roadcaster Pro. Let's do some Currently Trending. Great. Yeah. Currently Trending. Currently Trending. Currently Trending in my life. You ready for this time?

Sure. For whatever reason, Hattie, she's a big nickname girl, Papa Loja for me, you know, whatever. Uh, right now her nickname for Rosie is pot belly stove, pot belly stove. Cause Rosie's got, you know, one of those classic like little one and a half year old guts on her, you know, she just kind of runs around with her like belly out after she eats. And yeah, Hattie's like, Oh, you're my little pot belly stove. And if that's not the most Hattie thing you've ever heard, I don't know what is. That's a good one. Wow. You started off strong. That's really good. So I don't know how long it's going to stick. Maybe she's going to be pot belly stove for

the rest of her life. Um, but right now pot belly stove for Rosie. That's a good trend. My first trend is, uh, lately I just feel like I have, I'm just so energized with life and I don't know where it's coming from. I am eating healthier and I'm exercising and I'm sleeping more. And I don't know what the, and I'm also just like so excited about every like little venture I have. I think I've been, I'm at peak excitement for all the things I have, all the stones in the fire. Oh yeah. So I think it's a combination of all those things.

Coals maybe? Or you got stones? Yeah. It's coals in the fire, isn't it? I mean, you could pop Ellie's stove. Three stones, one coal. All in the fire. Those four rocks in the fire.

Yeah. Feeling energized. Yeah. Just excited. Yeah. Easy to wake up in the morning. Oh yeah. in the fire. Yeah. Feeling energized. Um, yeah, just excited. Yeah. Easy to wake up in the morning. Oh yeah.

That's a great feeling. Excited. And especially in January, you're feeling that way. Yeah. This is like the hardest time for me to wake up. It's going to get so much easier. I don't know.

Yeah. That's awesome, dude. Trending for me. Timon, you trending? Uh, currently trending for me is the song anyone by Justin Bieber.

Oh, I, I never have listened to it on purpose till like a week ago. And now I'm like, currently trending for me is the song Anyone by Justin Bieber oh yeah I never have listened to it on purpose till like a week ago and now I'm like this song is so good it came on last night

we played our first game in an indoor volleyball league and they played it over the speakers and I thought about that song it is such a good song because I know right where I was

when it came out it came out on what's the holiday January New Year's Eve oh my gosh what's the holiday? January? New Year's Eve. Oh, my gosh. What's that called? Midnight.

I can't want to say midnight. It came out on annual midnight. Yeah. It came out at New Year's Eve in 2020, and I was with Isaac and some friends, and that music video came out, and we watched it, and it's great. Sing it.

Sing it for me. You, if it's not you, it's not anyone. Yeah. I've never purposely listened to that either. Oh, you.

Wait. Oh, it starts out. Are the only ones if it's not you. And then it's like, ah, what's the

do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,

do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,

do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,

do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,

do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,

do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,

do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,

do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, It's so good. It's catchy. That was nice. Someone should write a jingle to it. Oh, that would be fun.

Write a jingle in time and it'll sing it. Yeah. Yeah. On camera. Oh. You can see what he looks like when he sings. It's way different than what you're thinking. It looks way different when he sings.

I like the phrase, I haven't listed this on purpose. Oh, can you imagine you were like walking to her and you're like, whoop, sorry. Oh, sorry about this. My bad. No, but there's a lot of things that I do, but then I do them on purpose. And then like. Yeah, yeah. this oh can you imagine you're like walking to her like whoop sorry oh sorry about this my bad no but there's a lot of things that i do but then i do them on purpose and i like yeah yeah well i know that song but i've never listened to on purpose either yeah you should try it yeah because i've yeah i've accidentally listened to it before okay heard it on the yeah heard it places

and stuff yeah uh all right currently trending for me number two is i've been going to panera a little bit uh drinking their coffee um main street roasters east and um there's one guy at panera who's probably 80 years old that just comes in every day reads his bible reads his kindle whatever he's doing and we have like 30 second conversations and they're just nice little like pure conversations and they're they're normally pretty small talky, but I kind of love it. I mean, there was like, I saw him, we kind of developed a relationship and like talked about our, you know, faith and stuff maybe a year ago. So we like see each other a decent amount, but I haven't been to Panera much recently.

And then I came back, I don't know, a month ago or something. He's like, I was starting to get worried that we lost you. I'm like, no, I'm still here. Still kicking. You know, whatever. But it's just like the most small talky conversations. Oh, it was an ice rink out there today. Oh, I know.

It was wild how icy it was. It was crazy. Yeah, I did not get out of my house. Oh, totally. Me neither. My wife, yeah. Catch that Chiefs game? Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, of course. My home's looking good. Yeah, yeah. Glad we have a butt? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, of course. Mahomes looking good. Yeah. Glad we have a butt current instead of bass. That's right. Okay, we'll see you. All right. And I always really laugh at the end of the conversation. All right,

we'll see you. All right, have a good one. Don't drink too much coffee. Yeah. It's after four. I'm cutting myself off. I'll see you. All right. All right.

We'll see you. All right. All right. Drive safe. All right. Enjoy that ice rink. Go on. Careful on those stairs.

I'll see you tomorrow. Maybe bring your skates. All right. All right, man. You had a great day. Good to see you. So that's me and Bert. I think his name is Bert.

It's definitely a B name because he wears a Boston Red Sox hat, but only because his name starts with a B. And that's how he wants people to remember his name. I got this because of my name. That sounds like something Steve Coop would do. That's funny. He is a sweet man. He's really cool.

That's cool. It's kind of like we talked about having one-day friends. It's He is a sweet man. He's really cool. That's cool. It's kind of like, you know, we talked about having one-day friends. It's not quite the same, but it's like a new genre of friend. Yeah. A 30-second friend. Yeah.

It's like we have enough. Like, I've told them I have kids, but I don't, like, tell them everything, you know, whatever. So, anyway. He doesn't have access to them. No. Yeah.

Not yet. Not yet. Bring them over for dinner sometime with the good ranchers. Bird. Rancher roasters. Currently training for me is not feeling bad Not yet. Not yet. Bring them over for dinner. Sometimes good ranchers, bird roasters, uh, currently training for me is not feeling bad about asking people for something for free.

All right. Typically I feel like, I don't know if I asked someone like to help me move, it's like, I should be paying them. I should be paying them hourly. I don't care if they're my best friend in the world. I should do like, it's just hard for me to like take someone's time and not give them something

back. I've just always felt that way. Like if we're going to like, if you're going to take time out of your day for a phone call, I should repay you with something else later. I don't know. That's just how I operate, I guess. But recently when it comes to Bondi bowls and picking out a commercial real estate spot, I'm like, man, man, there's so much to learn and to know. And so I've just definitely felt less bad about just calling people, cold calling people, people I barely know. I'm just like, what can you tell me

about commercial real estate? What can you tell me about this? And I've just stopped feeling, I don't feel as bad or the people pleaser in me is kind of put to the side. Like this is a huge deal. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. I do not want to mess this up.

I need your help. And I tell jokes for a living. So I'm is a huge deal. Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, I do not want to mess this up. I need your help. And I tell jokes for a living. So I'm trying to garner as much wisdom as possible. So I'm on the phone all the time, you know. Yeah. Even separately from Bonnet, I took Josh Madison out to coffee last week just to pick his brain about marketing.

Yeah. And all he did was just tell me things. I gave him nothing back. Are you ready for this? Yeah. I'm going to call it the Rachel effect. This is the Rachel effect in your life. Cause I think not that you've ever not been kind, but I think you're more generous now than you ever have been yourself. So therefore before it was like, I don't want to ask

somebody to help me move. Cause if someone asked me to help them move, I might be kind of bothered by that. Now you're like, no, I'll have somebody move. Rachel's made me even a better person in life. And so then you think, well, they're not going to mind me asking them because you know, I would, I would do this for them if the roles were reversed. Yes or no. I think, yeah, I think that's true. But I also think, I don't know, when I was 25, I definitely would have helped someone move as well. Yeah, that's true. I don't know. I think there is truth in it. Yeah, I always just, I'm always interested, like, when

people have, let's call it insecurities or whatever. Catherine's the same way with, like, all sorts of things like that, like, where she's just like, ah, I just think that they would be so upset, or I'm just, like, putting them out so much, or whatever. I'm like, Catherine, if the roles were reversed, you would do that in a heartbeat. That's what I try to tell myself. I don't really understand why you're like so worried about like, this is, you're asking a

good person. Like you're not asking some like person you've never met before. Like you have relate relational equity with this person. It's not like, I don't know, but it's, it is, it's, it's a natural thing, I guess, to always be a little bit like, I know this is a burden to you, but in your head you're like, but I would do it for somebody else. So why is it a big deal to ask somebody else? Like, oh, I would 100% do that for Peter, but I can't ask Peter to do that for me. Yeah. Or like, he's like, oh man, Josh, he doesn't want to meet with me probably. Like, oh, like just hang out with me. Well, yeah, of course he would love to hang out with you. You're a cool person, you know? I don't know don't know maybe that's yeah so maybe it's a wrong i don't think rachel's

not a part of it i think she's making you worse actually i think as i get older i think rachel's a i think you're right i do think i've become more generous and more sensitive to certain things i also think as i get older the people pleaser in me is starting to be chiseled away not that i I'm becoming meaner, like sterner. I feel like I'm still a person, but I'm not like bending over backwards to do things that are like ridiculous to like, you know, please someone who's a stranger. I would agree with that. And I'm not like, you know, whatever.

Yeah. I don't need to keep elaborating on it. Yeah. Yeah. It's being chiseled away a little bit. We're finding a healthy balance. Yeah. You're pushing back.

Yeah. There's you pushing. Time you got anymore? Not too interesting. Been eating a lot of Chick-fil-A ever since the chicken for some drone. They pay you a chicken? Yeah, just like a gift card.

Cool. Yeah. And it just, I mean like typically Chick-fil-A is like kind of on the more expensive end of like fast food stuff. So I like am hesitant to get it. Usually if I'm like out, it's like a cheapest thing at McDonald's or whatever, but like now it's like, I'll just get it.

And it's so good. Yeah. Yeah. Did you know time? Have you gotten to the part of the podcast yet where we had Chick-fil-A for free for a year? For a year? Yeah.

At least like specifically. No, just there was this one guy that worked at chick-fil-a that gave us okay yeah mr james yeah and there's talking about him yeah it was magical it was crazy it was unbelievable it was it was wild that's awesome yeah and if you ever get that opportunity strike while the coals are in the fire. Sounds good. Oopsie daisy. Sorry about that. Our audio machine just shut off.

We didn't realize it for like five minutes. Here's a 30 second recap of what you missed. Brad, what's an endoscope? It's something. Time it! I don't know. Mic check on the mic. Try again.

Oh no. Mic check on the mic. Try again. Mic. Oh, no. What? Mic! Oh, gosh. Sorry, guys. That's not cool. I didn't mean to offer.

Okay, it's back. It's good. We're good. That was weird. Endoscope is something you stick in your ear to look in your ear. Catherine has a version of it where she uses an app on her phone, and that's like a camera. Bluetooth's in. Yep.

Crazy things have happened in my ear. Let's just say that. Last currently trending, Tymon and I were talking about running. He missed one day because he was sick. We both ran this morning. Brad and I saw each other this morning by the trash cans. Yep.

Tymon and I talked about the physics of running on a treadmill, and then Tymon made a funny joke that no one recorded, so you'll never know it. Oh, man, you can imagine that. Okay man, take care. Funniest joke of the episode. Honestly, yeah, just imagine the funniest thing you could ever hear.

Tymon said it. It was wild. That was it, yeah. And we weren't recording. It was a good joke, Tymon. It was a good joke. Thank you. Alright, so let's do some voice memos. Alright, voice memos. Hi Jake and Brad. I'm Savannah. I live in Fresno, California, and I love your podcast. I love everything about it. Jake, I got to meet you in San Francisco in June of last year,

and I am coming back to a show in May, so I'm really excited in San Luis Obispo. Right now I'm listening to the podcast about starting a new podcast and doing episodes. And Brad mentioned something he's never done before is, uh, experience California. And I would love to show you the central Valley of California. Um, if you ever came out here, we have a lot to offer. I know California has a bad rap, um, and rightfully so, but, um, there are a lot of great things, some great food, some great produce, um, such beautiful land. So

I would love to show you around. Um, and it'd be awesome to hang out with you guys. So you should definitely come to California. Um, thanks for all you guys do with the podcast. Thanks Sav. Central Valley, Brad thoughts. Yeah, that's the thing. I know nothing about the geography of California. So I don't know. I know Southern California is like LA is in Southern California. And San Diego is really Southern California. Central Valley to me seems like an hour inland from like the Bay Area,

like in San Francisco. Okay. I'm guessing. I don't know. So where is San Francisco? Is San Francisco kind of in the middle? Yeah. Northern California, they call it. NorCal.

But it's central. Sacramento, though, is higher up than San Francisco? A little bit, yep. I know. I know California. You get it. You've experienced it on a map. I've been to San Diego.

I've been to LA. Went to Jeopardy one time, so I've been to California. What is California? Yeah. What is? I know everything about the state. So, yeah, I'd be down. I mean, I don't... Let's be realistic. It's probably not going to happen. I'm probably not going to fly there just to

have you show me around. But I would be down. I mean, that would be really cool. Right place, right time. Yeah, maybe. One note about those specific shows. I was just looking recently. Those shows, that week of the shows, falls during the Ghost Runners getaway. So I will miss those shows.

And I think they're the very last ones we have planned right now. So she could come and see you, though, on the Ghost Runners getaway because there are a few spots still left. You know what's better than San Luis Depot or whatever you said? Yeah, what was that? Gulf Shores,

Alabama. Come on. Forrest Gump was born. Forrest Gump's from here. Yeah. Come to Gulf Shores, guys. It's less than 100 days away. I sent out an email. It was a great email. Great email to get. It got me pumped. It was like, you know,

five degrees that day. I was like, I just can't wait for the beach. The beach. The beach. That's fun. Well, thank you, Sav. Next one looks like it's from Chloe. Good lads. What is up? There's a chance I'm accidentally sending this twice. Who knows? But we'll see.

I like to say, just listening to episode 291 where you were talking about a friend who has like 600 pictures and now that's insane and psychopathic. I have 465. Psycho! I'm also currently in college, a theater kid, and a baker. So I don't know if that affects your judgments

too, to think I'm more psychopathic. I've been listening to y'all since like episode 30-something where you reviewed the Office Christmas episodes. So y'all are wonderful greatest pod i know um time in my my good sir love you glad you're on the pod my good sir and i have a rather strange would you rather which is would you rather never be able to wear a shirt again

or never be able to wear socks and shoes ever again. You can't replace it with like, I'll just wear sandals. That's... No. Whoa, what's going on? Kind of tuned out there at the end. This question is sponsored by Greycliffs. Would you rather never be able to get hair off of your shirt

again? Have hair on your feet permanently. Oh, my. The answer is, for me, socks and shoes. No, no. I'd rather be able to wear a shirt and not... Can you imagine? You'd never have a normal conversation to get into your entire life. I think I agree.

Because I could find some alternative to socks and shoes. But like... A blanket. Put a blanket on your lap but then also an alternative alternative to a shirt potentially but like what's your alternative like some like apparatus it's like a curtain like a smock yeah i don't know trash bag but yeah i was timing no how would you you what would you do at church you'd be shirtless at church no that's why i agree with you i'm saying i would rather not wear socks and shoes yeah i see initially i thought oh definitely protect the feet really that's what i thought at first i'm still processing it dude you see somebody without shoes in public you're like okay that guy's a little odd. You see someone in like a normal looking dude

with no shirt on in public, you're like, that dude's not normal. We're in Central Valley, California. Doesn't matter. Maybe that's normal around here. No way. You would also burn like crazy. I couldn't go to Australia.

Yeah, I would have to go somewhere warm that doesn't have too much sunshine. Does that place exist? Like a really cloudy, humid environment. Like a greenhouse. I would have to go somewhere warm that doesn't have too much sunshine. Does that place exist? Like a really cloudy, humid environment. Like a greenhouse. I would have to move to a greenhouse. I don't know if it exists. Okay.

Greenhouses exist. No, dude. This is a surprisingly good would you rather. Most of these are stupid, but this one's good. I'll take my shirt off. You take your shoes off. Let's see who feels more uncomfortable in this conversation. Are you kidding? Like, I don't think it's just because I'm a big guy that I don't want my shirt

off. Like can you imagine? Tymon doesn't have a wife yet, dude. Tymon, you would never get a wife without wearing a shirt. And if your wife was like, I just, you're just like, I just, I can't wear shirts. Sorry, lady. Yeah. Like you're on your wedding day. She would come down the aisle and her beautiful white wedding gown. And you'd just be at the end of it, like tearing up shirtless tear stained torso with some nice wingtip shoes, but man, you don't have any shirt on. Yeah. I keep trying to put myself in different environments. Like, Hey, we should hop on the phone. We do a zoom call like your first zoom call it's just nipples yeah i'm like oh this is gonna be hard to close the deal and for sure it for sure motivate

me to work out yeah and like get get a nice toned upper body it would be a good motivator there no but sports though no no shoes that'd be a bummer basketball pickleball all these sports i think i think you'd acclimate well honestly i think i think your feet would get so strong so like healthy and calloused and now i'm getting excited about having good feet yeah that could be fun and a shirt on like like a lot of people are like all about remember the five finger to the five finger shoes oh gross yeah but like the idea of that was like you're supposed to run barefoot or something. Yeah. Oh, well, I think just having like toe, like freedom for your toes is supposed to be healthy.

Yeah, toe box, wide toe box. Yeah. Yeah, dude. Well, one thing we haven't even brought into the equation, grounding, that's popping right now. Oh, grounding's huge. Yeah. I would ground the daylights out of myself constantly.

You would. I will say the way that we were created, we weren't supposed to have either. Yeah. But they weren't created in the Midwest. The Garden of Eden was not negative five. I don't know. Two rivers? Missouri, Mississippi?

Which other river are you talking about? I think Missouri is the Fertile Crescent. Oh, okay. That's all I know about the Garden of Eden is between two rivers. They assume Euphrates. But it might be Missouri. I think it's right here. Yeah, I think it's like northern Missouri.

Kansas. Yeah, no. There's so many situations where it'd be just ridiculous to not have a shirt on. Can you imagine your babies being born and... Skin to skin. That's true. That's the best place. Okay, yeah, you're right. Put the baby on your feet.

I mean, just situation in general. Time is like, I love this girl. I need to ask her dad for her hand in marriage. Sir, I promise I will do everything in my power. I'm very serious about this. Sir, I promise I will do everything in my power. I'm very serious about this.

Sir, eyes up here. Come on. Mr. Daniel said, please respect me. All right. And if you get too jacked,

I think there's a negative aspect to that too. Show off. Yeah. Then you're just the tool that's like, Oh yeah, I just have, I don't wear a shirt because I just, I lost a bet on Ghost Runners.

Like, no, you did. You just want to show off. It is a nerve wracking conversation to ask the father, but at least I had my shirt on when I did it. That would have been harder. Did you have shoes on? I had shoes on too.

And socks. Where were you? I was driving down Union Avenue in New Hartford, Iowa. He could have taken off those shoes. No one would have known. I wish I would have. Yeah. Steve, I got a question for you.

What was the other thing? Oh, 400-something pictures? I guess she has 465 pictures. But she, like, bakes and acts? Yeah, those are given. I guess she has 465 pictures. But she like bakes and acts? Yeah, those are givens. I bet you have 465 from... It's not great expectations. What did you just do?

Sensibility. Yeah, sense alone. You know? Yeah. Well, thanks, Chloe. Psycho. Psycho. Psycho.

Thanks for saying your favorite. Hey, Poopsy, Beanpole, Tymon. I have a lot to say and not much time to say it, so I'm going to be going pretty quick. I'm going to start off by claiming a title, the title of number one kaiju fan of the community. If you want to claim this title, you have to state your favorite kaiju. Mine is Titanosaurus.

Moving on to the poultry with the podcast. I'm lost. You guys kind of riff pretty hard on superheroes and comics and stuff like that, and I grew up on them, and I really love them them so it kind of appeased me every now and then when you kind of ripped a little too hard on some of them and yeah it's just me not you guys anyways uh moving on to a question pick a number between 1 and 297 those are the amount of superheroes and villains and stuff i've made up in my superhero world i have a question for timing so the question is um uh no that doesn't seem good uh how about this one uh the

oh no that's probably a little too incensed uh you know what okay so if you could classic yeah uh we all saw that coming okay his username it just says mr waffle 64 yeah this guy's not pancake guy 294 buddy i don't know i thought it was something to do with like how many episodes he's listened to that's what i was 97 yeah maybe maybe he has a superhero from every episode i would not have guessed that's how many superheroes I've made up. How long would it take you to think of 297 superheroes made up? All right, Montedon is my first one. Does he have detailed descriptions for him? That's impressive.

Sketches, drawings, powers, weaknesses, dietary restrictions. Yeah. My number is 67, by the way 67 yeah jake 50 just straight up i think 67 is moth boy yeah i'm hoping 50 is um hairy tentacle arms oh yeah, yeah? You want both? Oh, sorry. Hairy's just his first name. Sorry.

H-A-R-R-Y. Harrison. Yeah, yeah. Full name is Harrison. Harrison Tentacle Arms. Oh, yeah, okay. What's so special about him? He has tentacles for arms. He has ESP.

Like... All right. That's about all we need to say about that one. Yeah, I didn't get the first part. Should we listen to it again? Let's go to the next one. All right. Hello, Ghost Runners, Jake and Brad.

This is Isabel from Michigan. I started listening to your podcast about a year ago. And the first episode that I remember listening to is the one where you guys told poop stories, which I think is a very weird place to start. Hey, we didn't tell them. Thankfully, I stuck around and been loving the podcast ever since. My question for you, I guess, is more of a request. I have a song stuck in my head. I heard it on an Instagram reel a couple days ago, and I just can't figure out what song it is. And so I was hoping you guys would be able to help me out. Great. It kind of goes like,

he is the victory. And that's all I remember from it um it uh i think it's a jesus song and i think it's for kids but i just have no idea so i was hoping you guys would help me out thanks uh you guys got that one not me here's the victory dude do that into the google app see what it says do i have the google app and then just it says. Do I have the Google app? And then just keep repeating it, because it's probably not going to... It probably needs more time.

I don't know if I have... I don't have it anymore. Do you have the Google? Yeah. Can we do it? Here's the victory. Here's the victory. I didn't-ba-da-ba-ba-ba, here's the victory. I knew you were going to fast-fire. Ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba-ba, here's the victory.

How many times do I have to do this? Okay, so it's either City by the Disciples, 7% match. Seven. Jimmy Mack by Martha and the Vandellas eight percent match or wrap my body tight by johnny gill i think it's probably wrap my body wrap my body tight johnny gill's got a face on him like i am about to be mischievous wrap my body. I think it's wrap my body tight. Well, problem solved. Let's do another one.

What song is this, Jake? I don't know. I can't think of anything besides, here's a victory. I may never. March. In the. Infantry. Ride in the infantry.

Ride in the cavalry. Oh, sorry. Shoot, shoot the artillery. I may never. Wait, go around. I may never. Thank you for just saying never. It's a little.

Fly or the over abbreviation. Oh. Thank you for just saying nah Fly Or The over I'm lost I may never fly Or the In Nah Me

But I'm in The Lord's army. Yes, sir. Harmonize. I'm in the Lord's army. Yes, sir. Here's the victory.

I'm in the Lord's army. Yes, sir. I may never march in the infantry, ride into Calvary shoot the artillery I may never fly or the enemy but I'm in

the Lord's army I'm in the Lord's army I'm in the Lord's army alright that's good Army! I am in the Lord's Army! Alright. That's good. Hopefully that helps. What song is that? Anybody know it? Dude, have I talked about this on the podcast? I can't remember.

The new game show called Beat Shazam. It's just this, basically. It's the worst game show. It's so just simple just like we're gonna play a song and you guys figure out what it is and nick can is the host of it and he's got no life left in his face he looks exhausted really yeah is he the one that has like 10 kids that's probably why he's so tired sure yeah and uh oh it's so cheesy rachel i watched her for like 10 minutes

it was hilarious how cheesy it was you know so. So they play like three seconds of a song, just like, I want to rock and roll. And then everyone's buzzing in. And they're like, all right, we've got our three buzzes, but let's keep dancing it out. And then all these white people in the audience are just dancing really cheesy, and people are doing this.

They're like, okay, that's enough dancing. Let's figure out who beat Shazam first. It's awful. I wouldn't want to be a contestant. I would want to be in the audience, and I would want to be told, sir, you're dancing too much. You're going too hard. The whole time.

I want to rock and roll all night. Every time? I know the every day. And I'm like just straight straight eyes with the camera on the camera yeah that's pretty funny so like they get three seconds or something it's just they all buzz you got to get the right answer and the quickest and they try to make the game different like next it's the lightning round where it's the same exact thing but we call it the lightning round next fastest now double feature it's the same exact thing we've been doing but

now the money's worth double you know they've got this pink haired dj on the side yo kimmy hit it you know like i don't know she'd be on the payroll why doesn't just some like other person without a face do it? No, Kimmy's integral. Yeah, Kimmy's got a real British accent. It's like, you guys are really going to like this one. All right. Let's spin it. Yeah.

It's a fat bait. I don't know. Didn't think I'd be talking about Beachazam. Let me know if you've seen it. It's just a waste of time. It's something else, huh? That was fun. Yeah.

That's fun. Hey, that was fun. Hey? That was fun. Yeah. That's fun. Hey, that was fun. Hey, that was fun. Hey, that was fun. All things considered, Tymon just didn't record us for 10 minutes. Still pretty fun. Should we do our review of the week?

Yeah. Thoughts? Yeah. Good idea. I wonder how many episodes we've done review of the week. You know, because we didn't start. Somebody will tell us. Because it used to be every week,

but then once we started Monday and Wednesdays, we'll do it Mondays. Oh, true. But I just meant like, yeah, I guess, when did we start the review of the week? Oh, I see what you're saying. Pretty early on, I think. Right.

Yeah. On podcast.com. I haven't seen one before. Podcast.com. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, we didn't know where to send them. Was it the voice memo? I think it was a voice memo.

Someone was like, I was trying to leave a review. Just look at all of our podcast.com. We did get a few messages like that. Like, I cannot figure out where to leave a review here. I don't know where that happens. Like, oh, sorry. Yeah. My review is from SD.

I don't know what the SDG E. row sedro sedge sedro jake and brad are really funny and i appreciate the clean humor i enjoy listening during my work day they should stay away from movie reviews but everything else is great smiley face let's only do movie reviews just to spite sedge what do you think he's upset about? I'll give you multiple choice. Nacho Libre, School of Rock, Barbie.

What else have we talked about recently? Remember that one time we like pretended like we knew a bunch of movies? Yeah. And told like- Movies we haven't seen. Yeah. We both like October Sky. Maybe he hates October Sky.

Yeah. He's like, come on. Rockets are so obsolete. They're just taking up way too much fossil fuel. Um, sorry. I don't know.

We, we, we call it like we see it. Whiplash conflicting on that time. Have you seen Whiplash? No, it's rated R. So it's got a lot of language,

but my gosh, would you love it? Okay. Music movie. Cool. Dude. One of my favorite movies of all time. Jake didn't get it, though. Jake was like, this is it?

It's over? Not quite Jake's tempo. You knew it. Yeah. Oh, man. I know a reference or two. That's good. You're like Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

You got a little bit of knowledge of the place. You know who's from there. All right. Whitney Sim Simpson says, Jingles are back. The jingles have been some of my favorite parts of the pod through the years. I thoroughly enjoyed today's jingle. Great episode as always.

Let's just segue from there, huh? In short, I'm going to turn my Bluetooth off. I should have thought to do that earlier. Simon, it's all on you. Brad, would you like to end episode 300 with a jingle I would maybe maybe one maybe multiple we'll see um I guess I mean it's not gonna be that hard to figure out what I'm saying but we're just gonna sing we're gonna sing about every I wrote a jingle about every single one of our episodes we've ever done oh we'll start with this one. This is the first one you sent.

Which one do you want to start with? Oh, time. I didn't text about this. Start with tub. Okay. But don't say it on that. Okay. All right.
