Jake, I have some bad news for you. Oh, no. Bert, my friend from Panera. Yeah. I made him mad the other day. No, this is Bert, who is your friend from Panera. Bert's from Panera, yeah. Didn't add anything to it. So this is the guy that I have small talk conversations with, just great guy. I mean, he's a Christian guy. We've talked about that a little bit, but for the most part- You always laugh when he's walking away. Okay. I'll see you. Um, so this time, I mean, it's February 15th and we're recording this. We've had unbelievable weather in February,

just unbelievable. Springtime has come early and he comes up to me and he's just like, can you believe this weather we're having? This is just incredible. I was like, Oh, I know it's wonderful. And he goes, well, but I mean, if it's this warm now, I can't imagine how many bugs are going to be out in the summer. And I go, Bert, you can't, come on, just be appreciative for what we have right now. And I don't think he appreciated it. And all of a sudden he's just like, all right, well, I'm going to leave. See ya. I'm like, oh my gosh. All right, we'll see ya. It was just like, I was just trying to be like, hey, we don't know that the bugs are going to be bad.

We don't know. Bert, how much do you know about bugs? How buggy are you? And you know what? How often are you outside and bothered by the bugs? Yeah, I would like to know more about Bert's bug history. Okay, we him about that i'm like yeah bert i mean so he said if it's this warm now that yeah the the bugs just haven't been getting killed off by the cold i guess or something or i don't know so maybe it's got more time to procreate because they're out early it could it's like a bird and the bees and the bugs and the

birds and the bugs and the bugs it's like a quantity issue birds and the bees And the bugs And the bugs Birds and the bugs Birds and the bugs It's like a quantity issue Like the amount of bugs Or maybe it's a quality issue They're stronger Those bugs are smart They're coming right for you Right for all your orifices, Bert

Uh-oh Ooh, I think this tight beat Means that it's going down With some random thoughts And white meat too Midwest best friends Eating fast food on repeat So come along Let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost

all right uh episode 495, Tymon? We're almost there. It's Ghost Rush Podcast. We are so close, Samuelson. I'm just going to shout out a different fan. Ghosty? Yeah, at the beginning of an episode. It is fun.

Thank you guys for listening again. If you're new, welcome to the greatest podcast community that we know of. Yes, right. Online. That's right. There's a lot of private, offline podcasts. We don't know anything about those. We cannot vouch for them one way or the other. But as far as the online one goes, we're doing all right. Yes. Brad and I, though, not feeling all right.

Tymon, how are you feeling? I'm feeling great. Dang. Awesome. Thanks. Thanks a lot, man. That's really cool to hear. But hey, that's cool. You're band of brothers. Come on. Immunity system is doing. You need to feel bad. Just if we feel bad, you feel bad. Okay. Brad's been feeling bad for a couple days now. Yep. I felt amazing until like yesterday afternoon. Yeah. But then this morning, Brad brought over, what did you just bring over? We just slammed some stuff.

We'll call them tinctures. Oh, wow. I wouldn't. A thousand guesses. Would I never guess that? No. Tinctures? Tinctures.

How do you spell that? Tink. T-I-N. I think it's T-I-N-C-T-U-R-E-S. Look it up, Timon. Oh, wow. I was just listening to an old episode where you're making up words. And I think that's what you just did.

Yeah. Tinkerture. Tinkertown. Tinkertown liquids. Tinctures. I think it's tinctures. Like texture. Tinctures.

Like, yeah, they're just. Concentrated herbal extracts. And then it's like... Did I spell it right? Like natural stuff. T-I-N-C-T-U-R-E. Is that what you said? Uh-huh.

Yeah. Let's go, dude. Not bad. Yeah, just a little... Jake said he was like, my throat's really hurting. And so I was like, dude, Catherine's got 15,000 things for you to take.

And you did bring over a lot. And you did bring over a lot. And I did bring over a lot. Imagine how much I would have brought over if you said I can swallow pills better. So what do you like? If you're sick, you're at home. What do you normally ingest? Rattle off all of them. Let's go.

So this past time, it depends on what we're going for. I mean, I haven't had as much of a sore throat issue like you're having. So I haven't been doing the throat spray or whatever. But we're going for. I mean, I haven't had as much of a sore throat issue like you're having. So I haven't been doing the throat spray or whatever, but we're talking zinc. We're talking vitamin C. We're talking something about lymph. That's, I gave you one of those today. I don't know. I don't even know what that is. I took lymph? Yeah. I thought I already had lymph. You, you lymphed. Well, I guess I just have the nodes. I don't know if I have the lymph. You need your lymph for the nodes. I don't know if I have the lymph. You need your lymph for the nodes. I have an empty node.

Let's see. Something called Feel Better Fast. I like that one a lot. That one seems to really work. Quercetin is something I take. Let's see. What else? Yeah, this throat spray sometimes.

I think I mentioned a couple weeks ago, but garlic cloves that are soaked in honey. Wow. You just swallow those things whole. Oil of oregano is a good one. What else does Kathy do? Elderberry. Elderberry, yes. Yeah. Every once in a while, just different vitamin whatever, vitamin A. I don't know. I don't really do those very often. But yeah, like try to think sometimes I'll just straight up Zyboy it. Um, yeah, but I mean, zinc is the same idea and I have zinc in liquid tinks for the kids or Jake or, uh, or yeah, pill version. Um, try and think what else saltwater gargle that bad boy right up, get it warm. Sometimes do a little saline rinse in the nose, which is kind of like what Dwight does on The Office.

Yes, it's gross. Where he throws it in his nose, but just like a specific thing that's made for that. I did that for a while when I was doing a musical where I had to record songs. Yeah. And it's like every day, it's like salty water. It was nasty.

Yeah, it is weird. But it felt so good afterwards. Catherine swears by it. I don't do it very often. She does it like immediately when she has like some congestion and it just looks miserable every time. I mean, you're shooting water up one nostril, hoping it comes out the other nostril.

That's not fun. And it's salt water, by the way. It's like, oh, fun. Yeah. It's not a good feeling. So that's something. That's a lot going in your body if you get sick. Yeah, man. It's a lot of stuff. Yeah. Sometimes I'll use this. I don't, this is more like allergy related, but I have this like

steroid spray that I'll use sometimes because I don't know what it is. I'd pay a decent amount of money to somebody to diagnose why I lose my taste and my smell so quickly every time I get a cold. It's not like a COVID thing. I mean, when I had COVID, I definitely lost my taste, but I've been doing, I've been having this issue since I was in high school. Like, I don't know what's going on. Are you clogged up? Like is your nose clogged? Yes and no. Yeah. I mean, for sure clogged up, but it feels like other people, I've witnessed plenty of people being clogged up and they're not struggling with this like I am. Like one nostril is completely unclogged. The other nostril, we'll call it 60% clogged. Still can't taste?

I can't. I mean, I literally will in my shower, take my bar of soap and try to like put it as close to my nose as possible and take the biggest and I can't smell anything. So yeah, it's, it's a bummer. It's, it's not, that's more debilitating than anything is when you're just really like, either you don't want to talk or you don't want to eat anything. Like those are my favorite things to do in life or talking and eating and can't do them. Can't do either of them. So, um, anyway, I'll have to say, I don't know. I have a theory that the reason I got sick and maybe the reason you got sick when you did, I got sick right after the Super Bowl,

a.k.a. I think I was just so built up for that moment, and then it depleted me. And maybe in a way, subconsciously, you were so built up for the parade moment. Afterwards, immunity took a day off. Took a tumble. You can't take a day off immunity. No, you just can't. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, it could be because it, yeah, it was like, uh, just been working a ton, just busy, busy, busy, something every night, every day, super bowl parade, got to get through the parade. All right, now we get home. Let's just edit. Let's

just knock this out. And then about the second I got home, I was like, Rachel, I know I'm getting sick. I see early onset sickness. That's when you throw the Zycam in right away. Rachel, when you got it for me, it was awesome. Yep. Yeah. There's also something called cold calm. Same idea. Cold calm. I know it sounds funny. Cold calm. You know what you should talk to my doctor. He could prescribe you a cold call. Anybody having a cold call? That's like the same idea where it's like, if you feel it and you go take it right away, it's like most effective. Yeah.

Yeah. So hopefully you're in and out. It's like most things. In any other job, this would be no problem. I just sit at my desk and just hang out with myself all day. But today we have two and a half hours of podcasting to do. So I'm just going to power through it. So let's, let's, let's have a, I'll try to talk more than you. Cause I know that hurts your voice. Timon can, you know, add in his own things, but, um, yeah, we've had a busy week, a super bowl parade. We, we both went

to a concert. Uh, we'll call it a show. Uh, let's go. Let's go. Yeah, let's go reverse order. Let's talk about the parade first. Obviously, if you have been following the chiefs and or whatever, there's the news recently. It was crazy. There was a shooting at the parade yesterday. Still can't really figure out all the details behind it. So I don't know how much to comment on it and how much we want to talk about sad things anyway. Yeah. Cause by the time this comes out, it's, they probably will know more. They probably will know more.

Yeah. But just a sucky thing, like a sucky way to end a really fun day. Yeah. Ash Wednesday, Valentine's day, Super Bowl parade day. Yeah.

And then an active shooter situation. Yeah. Just, yeah. Just weird, man. I mean, just a bummer.

And of course it just puts a blemish on Kansas city and all that stuff. And yeah, just, it's just too bad. Cause I think it's just weird, man. I mean, just a bummer. And of course, it just puts a blemish on Kansas City and all that stuff. And yeah, it's just too bad because I think it's just a couple people. I don't know. Who knows what exactly went down, but just a couple bad apples in the bunch. But anyway, all I'll just say, we were not anywhere close to the rally where it happened. We were home. So if you don't know, the parade route, they have a huge parade route, let's say a mile plus long. And they drive these buses all around.

And then it ends and culminates at the rally. And we've kind of learned that you kind of choose one or the other. If you want to be anywhere near the rally, you have to go there and camp out there. Yeah. And so we've never gone to the rally for any of them. For all four championships we've been a part of rally for any of them for all four championships. We've been a part of, we're parade people. Uh, we are parade people through and through. And so we went to the parade and actually timing came with us, which was awesome.

Um, we tried to beef up his setup as much as possible. Yeah. Uh, I think, I think it worked. Yeah. A lot of people thought it was the news. Oh yeah. And I, I talked to Jake or maybe you, you were there too yesterday time, but I was like, what do you, do you get more excited about being on the news these days or YouTube? Honestly, it's like when someone asked me for an autograph, I was like, you don't want a selfie. Yeah. We're going to do an autograph. What are you gonna do with being on the news? You could easily forge an autograph these days. And, and even if you did, people would be like, I don't know. My autograph changes every couple of weeks. It depends what restaurant I'm at. Yeah.

As long as it's not like a true famous person who has like an autograph, you know, it's like, you want my autograph on this? Sure. What? I just write in print, you know, that was classic back in the day. Did you have numbers in a class? Like, like you're like,

Oh yeah. Jake triplet number seven. Yeah. I think I was 23 in one class. 20. Oh yeah. I guess you're a team. Yeah.

Yeah. Like I remember back in the day, you know, like yearbooks you'd sign and be like, have a hags, you know, Brad Ellis number six. It was like so ingrained in you.

It's something only the teacher needs to know. You're like, well, I'll also sign it for Lindsay. Yeah. But yeah, we got to the parade. It was a great time. It felt busier than normal, right? Yeah. It was a beautiful day for it.

In the last two times, I mean, we kind of have like a system at this point. We got a parking spot. We know what to wear. Yeah. Literally, I wore the same thing every single year on my hoodie. Met another guy that had the same hoodie on, which was wear. Yeah. Yeah. Literally. I wore the same thing every single year. My hoodie met another guy that had the same hoodie on, which was fun. Yeah. But our parking spot wasn't there.

Parking spot was taken. So we had to find some other place and it was the sketchiest looking place, but boy, did it work? Had to do some climbing. Yeah. Scale the wall. Scale the wall. But yeah, we normally where we go for the parade is like, we have this basically one long stretch of street and we're on one side of the sidewalk and they barricade off. So you

can't even get to the other side. Somehow we weren't even able to get to that stretch of sidewalk. We were barricaded in. Yeah. Never really happened. Got to the parade. They had a new system this year. Yeah. And so basically we just hung out on two different bridges, like near one of the barricades and it worked out. We still got a lot of good content. We still got a lot of fun, um, moments. People seemed eager to come hang out and talk to us. I don't know. It seemed like a lot of people recognized us like, Oh, I like your stuff. Like we got that multiple times. Um, I don't know. What are some of your highlights from the parade? We got 90% of our stuff without leaving one bridge.

I feel like it was. Yeah, you're right. The first bridge was the money bridge. It was great. People just kept coming up. Let's see. It was fun.

You saw a girl that you knew from college. Yeah. Shout out Carolyn. It was kind of fun. And so I was like, what's your name? And she was like, my name is Carolyn.

You beat me in volleyball two weeks ago. I was like, what? She's like, yeah, you destroyed us. Yeah. I was like, wait, two weeks ago i was like what she's like yeah you destroyed us yeah i was like wait so you you're like good friends with brad and you play why do you say anything right and uh anyways that was kind of i felt bad that i didn't like recognize her from volleyball and talked about on the podcast like yeah we destroyed this team that was her team yeah uh but yeah she was a great sport. Yeah.

We kind of, she was the girl in the video that we danced to Usher with. Brad was singing and rapping along while we were dancing. Yep. So that, yeah, she was fun. We, there was a kid named Eli. That was really fun. We sang Eli Las Vegas with him. I don't know.

There's just some fun spontaneous. My favorite thing of the whole day and probably the favorite thing that's going to come out on the video itself is those Asian guys in their little like doll thing. They had, what was that? Like they were like faceless dolls. There's holding them up and you could tell, I would love that they were there,

but you could tell they didn't know that much about the chiefs. Yeah. So we're talking on the bridge to a tall black guy with dreads wearing ski goggles and a Chiefs jersey. I mean, this guy was trying as hard as he could to look like a Chiefs player. I was like, you're aware you could get in if you really wanted to. You can go wherever you want to go, dude.

They don't know who you are. You're fine. And then he was there with his friend Ivan, Hispanic man, which you told him, Ivan, we'll use your skills come boxing season or something like that. Baseball season. Yeah, baseball season, sorry. So you're talking about, yeah, you might make it for the Royals parade.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Royals parade. And then in the middle of that, yeah, then these two Asian dudes just come in. While we're interviewing them, just come and stand behind them and just smile. Don't say a word like what's up. Yeah, there's nothing just hold. Yeah. No, he didn't say World Series Super Bowl.

She's Super Bowl. And I was like, everybody stop. Everybody stop. Let's start over. Let's start over. We got to get make sure this guy's get a good sound bite. What happened? Yeah.

And he's like, geez. And I was like, did you like? Do you like Snead? Are you fans like McDuffie? Oh, she's Super Bowl. Yeah. Yeah. And they had these dolls.

I don't know, Ty, but you got a better look at them probably than we did. What were those dolls? I think they're dressed up in Chiefs. Like a hat. These dolls. But they're just like, I don't know what the point of them was. Were they on sticks? Or were they just like, I don't know what the point of them was. Were they on sticks? Or were they just like, I don't, yeah,

they weren't like fully. They were holding them up. A whole body doll. One on each hand, I think. Yeah. And these are like big, like, I'm talking two, two feet tall dolls. Like, not like.

Like stuff. Not like a Barbie, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Like a stuffed doll. And they were holding them up, just cracking me up. It was beautiful.

It was such a diverse scene. And then we, yeah, so then we did, I was like, this is like, we are the world for the tomahawk chop. That was so funny. And we did the tomahawk chop and Jake got the perfect, I haven't even seen the footage, just this one, like two, like whatever,

half second clip of one of the Asian guys just going, ha. Oh, it's so funny. So that's the kind of stuff that you could only get live, unscripted. You could never plan for it. We try to have a few things written down of what questions can we ask. And it's way harder than it looks

to think about interviewing people on the spot. But so many of the best things just happen naturally. Yeah. There was something else, the, the, we are the world for Kansas city that really cracked me up. There was one other thing in the edit that I was dying laughing at. I'll try to remember it, but yeah, you were feeling yesterday. Good work. Oh man. The funny thing was I told Catherine, I was like, I mean, or maybe I told you this. I was like, I, I feel like I gave it a lot, but man, I know if I were feeling better, I could have given it even more kind of thing. Yeah, it was a different opportunity and vibe being on this bridge

compared to like so tight quarters that we're used to on the sidewalk. Yeah, a little more space. So good and bad with that. I think when you're in those tight quarters, you can yell and like cheer anything and everyone will just go nuts. Didn't quite happen as well at this until you find about 35 elementary

school kids and then you can do whatever you want. They were swarming us. It was unbelievable. Like out of nowhere, I just look and I'm like, oh my gosh, there's 50 kids around Jake right now. Yeah. They were going nuts. Every me, every me. That one kid asked if he could interview me. Yeah, got a fun. What did he, did he ask you anything?

He asked like, when you were watching it, was it electric? Oh yeah, he made like electric jokes. Yeah, I was trying to like think of some jokes in the videos, but I don't think any of that will make it in. Maybe the bloopers, the Patreon bonus footage or something. Yeah. Yeah. If it's not already on Patreon, I'm sure there'll be an extended cut just for the patrons.

Yeah. We have a ton of good stuff. But yeah, it was fun. Tymon, what'd you think? Had you ever been in an environment like this? Not really. Nothing that like, no parade that big. Yeah. Beforehand, we asked Tymon like, have you ever been to a parade? I know you've been to like a parade, but like

a cheese parade. Yeah. What'd you think of it all? I thought it was super fun. I don't know. It was, I mean, just like, I love, I love filming stuff. So you guys made it really fun. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was, it was fun. I mean, ironically, of course this all, I changed my opinion on the whole thing, but like the, the first two times we've done in the parade, we've been in those tight quarters. I'm like, I don't want to take my kids to that. Then this time on the bridge, it was like way more like spread out and people, some people were trying to get up to the front to see everything. But for the most part, I was like,

it's a lost cause you're not getting up to the front. So people are just kind of hanging out. And I thought, Oh, it'd be fun to bring my kids here. Like, and now of course I'm like, no scary. Yeah. That's, that's too, too, uh, too risky, I guess. But, um, yeah yeah time did a good job uh i don't know it's just fun time we just had a good time i'm trying to think of any other good interviews i guess you've seen a little more of the footage than i have um yeah it was fun it was just like in the moment you know we'd only been there an hour and you were like i don't know how much more we need to get and in the moment i wasn't even sure of that i was like have we got a bunch of good stuff and as i'm going through the footage like oh my gosh we have so much good stuff why could i not realize this in the moment yeah when you edit it edit it down it

is really good it feels at the time i feel like that every year where i'm like we just gotta get more man we gotta get more let's get like one good one and now i think i finally learned like i think we got it like i think we we got plenty um yeah i don't know why i just can't remember that stuff for a moment because scott even texts us afterwards it's like how to go today boys and i was like brad was on fire today and i took my shirt off in front of minors within the first five minutes let's talk about that that was hilarious that was so funny that was one of the first things i told katherine she's like oh my gosh take one or yeah it was uh that was one of those times where it's like if i was peeling 100 100 i'd be off with you you know what i mean it was one of those times like i should take my if I was peeling 100%, 100% I'd be off with you. You know what I mean?

It was one of those times where I was like, I should take my shirt off too. I'm not going to do it. Just watch. Let them watch. Let them watch. So yeah, these two kids, they were sweet kids right off the bat. Can we be in your video?

Yeah, of course. What's your name? Oh, this is one of them. This kid's like, I think I still remember his name. What's your name? Nathaniel Atwell. Oh, Nathaniel. What's up, dude? Nathaniel Atwell oh Nathaniel what's up dude

Nathaniel Atwell yeah you remember me yeah what high school you go to yeah and like as he started

saying I said I said it with him I was like Leavenworth Leavenworth high school yeah dude I was your long term long term sub

and then he goes oh my gosh dude oh yeah yes was he playing along or was did he no I think he

you think he truly he's being nice oh I thought he was playing along oh really playing along like being nice or playing along or did he? No, I think he. You think he truly. He's being nice. Oh, I thought he was playing along. Oh, really? No, no, no. Playing along like being nice or playing along. No, I thought he was playing along like, I thought a lot of the things he did, he was like, I know that I should try to be funny.

Oh. I thought that was some of the stuff. I thought that with that, but I don't know. I couldn't tell if he was ignorant or if he was. Verdicts out. Yeah. So, but he kept saying kept saying well also in that conversation you said um dude how's your math going he's like it's good it's good and then like a few minutes

later he was like well yeah then we asked him like what are your predictions for next year oh yeah and this is where he started talking like he was like media trained and you know like he's patrick mahomes at a pre-game press conference like we just got to go out there and just like play our game and like yeah we got to keep our cool and i think as long as we battle through adversity and just like keep our cool like you should have no problem with repeating we just got to keep our cool yeah he said it at least three times and then he also said um three three rings in five years and brad's like i knew you were good at math man you've been working on it dude uh but anyway i just didn't know what to do with the way he answered the question.

Cause it was like, this is so professional. And so I just started taking my shirt off. I was like, is this how you three Pete? Does it say keep your cool? And then he took his shirt off too. It was like, he would, I mean, it was a, probably a solid, you know, I always use the word or the number seven, but it felt like seven seconds between like you taking your shirt off and him, like looking at you, like, what are you doing to like, yeah, yeah. Okay. Like it was not like an immediate, like he took his shirt off. I'm taking mine off. Like this guy wasn't like the classic crazy fan. No, but at the same time he took his shirt off and the videos out now by the time you're listening. But as of now, I'm still trying to figure out how to edit that because it took me a while to get three layers of my shirt off so it's kind of a long build up i don't know how to like make that happen quicker i looked at a couple i looked

like a couple clips of the footage just like see how it looked and uh there's a point where i took a video on my phone because i thought it was so funny where um so on like the apple like macbook like viewer of this of thing, you can skip 15 seconds at a time. There's a clip of you just standing there and then you skip 15 seconds. You're standing in the exact same spot with just no clothes. We just know. Perfect.

Yeah. Yeah. It was a great time. Was there anything that we did that was like, uh, surprising to you timing anything that was like, or it's like, no, I know these guys well enough to know they just did that. I don't know not really i mean you just like you were good at like uh kind of you know adapting for whoever you're talking to yeah like when brad started singing simple man with that guy smoking a cigarette dude that was great that was funny i these this woman walked by and she's

like i don't want to be interviewed you know because you can always tell people that kind of look at you and they want it or maybe they're at least interested. And I was like, if I can guess what city you're from, will you interview? And, uh, she's like, oh, maybe. And I just guessed all like the Missouri side. I was like, you're, she's not from Kansas. Like, and I go Excelsior. She's like pretty close.

And she was from Missouri. Yeah. We interviewed her and yeah the guy in the background was just like talking with like you know a cigarette just going up and down in his mouth and you know whatever you want to sing with us simple man and i was like we can sing i'll sing simple man with you yeah that was one of the things where i got in the edit was like of course we have great footage i forgot that brad's saying simple man now that's a classic example though if we were on the sidewalk,

maybe we could have had 500 people singing Simple Man. You know what I mean? Maybe. It's just you two. People are too far away from us. Tymon, did you have to call your mom after that woman asked Jake to take off his shirt for a dollar and then

what did she say? She wanted to touch my nipple for another dollar. Another dollar. Yeah. Was that a a little uncomfortable did you hear that conversation yes it was odd yeah yeah to say the least that was really odd did you think about it that was so weird uh no her vibes were off and i'd already taken my shirt off once or maybe twice at that point so i was like we're i think we're good on that even for the sake of a video my shirt's already been off so i think we're fine i i did think it was genius that Domino's was walking around with pizzas. There was a few times where I was like, how can we incorporate? They were like, $10 pizzas, $10.

I was like, how can I incorporate that? Because I had a few dollars on me. I was like, maybe we could do something with that. I don't know. What did we do with her? We did interview her and ask. Oh, we kept doing that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was funny. Thank you. Yeah, go ahead. It was, how did it start? I can't remember anything. I think you did, no one out pizzas the dominoes. Yeah, tell me, yeah. How much are these?

These are $10. Okay, no one out pizzas the dominoes. She's like, no, we're dominoes. I said, no one out pizzas the $10 pizza. We're dominoes. And then, of course out pizzas the $10 pizza. We're Domino's. And then, of course, Brad and I just get going. Oh, yeah. Back and forth.

Anything but the Domino's. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba. Domino's. Domino's. Back and forth. You were singing the Whopper song. Domino's. Domino's.

Yeah. She left us. Or else I think we could have gone on for another 30 seconds. Oh, that was fun. Yeah, you're right. It was just like in the moment, it's like that was a B minus, but then you go back and look at it.

It's like you jump cut it, you make it really quick. Yeah. Yeah, it's great. A plus. So anyway, all to say, had a good time. Did our tradition of going to Chipotle afterwards.

Yep. Catherine goes, oh, by tradition, you mean two years in a row. I was like, that's how a tradition starts, Catherine. We'll see you next year. It's got to next year. I made a comment as we were leaving, which is also ironic now because we were like leaving and we saw all the cars parked for the rally. And I was like, maybe next year we just go to the rally only. And Jake kind of was like,

like Jake was like, yeah, that's a good idea. And then we realized later, like how naturally we just assume we're going to do it again next year. Oh, yeah. Next year we could do next year. Yeah, that's fun. Timon can have more gear next time. Maybe have a second person filming. We have just an audio guy there with us next year. Yeah, boom. Like Zach could

hold the boom. But that doesn't always happen, Timon. See you next year. Yeah, hopefully. I think every year we should just find some parade. That's the thing. Yeah. It's the right formula of event because it has to have enough people where the energy is palpable.

I don't think you can just go to like a Thanksgiving day parade and get that kind of content. You know what I mean? The very, not enough people are drunk. I think that's part of it. Yeah, for sure.

I don't know if this is first or second, but back in the day, like probably 2015 or something, Brad and I did this at a Justin Bieber concert when he came to the Sprint Center. I'll have you. Okay. So something like that, I think you can also get some good material potentially. Like Taylor Swift would have been awesome in Arrowhead. Yeah. We looked into it and they weren't letting

people in that didn't have tickets. That's what it was. Yeah. Because we looked into doing it. Yeah. Like something like that would have been fun. A state fair, maybe, you know, where people are just a little bit eccentric anyway. Eccentric. If we made more than like $150 doing it, it would be fun to like, you know, us three, let's

travel the country and do this. Someday. Yeah. The Chiefs are going to comment on it, maybe. They said we don't want to do any kind of official collaboration, but I've talked to our social team, and they are down to interact with you. They will interact with whatever you post. Okay. Look out.

Get crazy. Okay. Anyway, all that to say, yeah, still a sour day overall, but we had a lot of fun in the moment, so we just want to talk about it. Yeah, so let's talk about some dwell. That's hay. Hay. Enough let's talk about some dwell. That's hey. Hey. Enough dwelling on the parade.

It's time to dwell in God's word. On the word. Which word? God's word. The word. The holy word. I like putting V's at the end of things. Holy word.

Sorry. When you said God's word, just last thing about the parade real quick. It reminded me of God's plan, which actually which actually no we shouldn't talk about that now all things considered after everything that happened the girl who was like hey is this live she just said something like kind of weird and dark and brad's like oh okay well either way we're not gonna put that in the video i was like how funny would it be to just put that in the video? But I think it was about someone passing away.

I think now it would definitely be in bad taste considering what happened. But it was pretty funny. I was like, oh, wow. That's not going to make the video. She couldn't even remember the guy's name. It was a guy at her school, like a teacher at her school that had passed away.

That's what it was. But anyway, hey, God's worth. God's worth. God's worth. God's worth. God's worth. God's worth. God's worth. Hey, in our busy lives, it's finding quiet moments to read the Bible can be challenging. Am I right? It's tough to carve out time. Yeah, you're going to need a bigger knife. Traditional reading-focused apps demand the undivided attention. Tymon, look at me.

Tymon, read that thing on your screen. You can't because you're staring at me. You need undivided attention to read it. He also has poor vision. Yeah, that's true too. Yeah, but you have to carve out specific time for that. This also means missing opportunities to engage with Scripture in your car or during workouts while you're just doing stuff around the house. Anybody ever done stuff around the house?

Raise your hand. Anybody ever driven in a car? Anybody ever done workouts? Raise your foot. Now slowly open your eyes. Look at Brad's hands. They're both up. Right?

Right, guys? Anyway, that's where the Dwell Bible app comes into play. It's audio-based, guys. They offer a transformative solution. Unlike reading apps, D dwell is audio based.

Same show, different times. Different times. Yeah, finally got to see my favorite comedian in person, Nate Bregazzi. Yeah, what'd you think Nate Bregazzi. Yeah. What'd you think? He was awesome. Yeah? He's really good.

Tell me more. I thought it was his best. It's going to be his best special yet. I thought it was just like top to bottom so funny. Good. Okay. You know it's a sign of a good stand-up comedian when I'm already excited to watch it again. Like I can't wait for the special to come out.

Yeah. Man. There's a couple of jokes I can't quite remember. And I can't look them up. It's got to wait. What what got you the most? I think the hardest I laughed out loud

is when he was talking about going through the drive through and your window isn't working and you have to open your car door. Yeah, he talks about how wrong it feels

for them to get to see your whole body and like they could see my seatbelt. They see my legs. And anyway, there's a lot of funny jokes and I think it ends with like sir how would you

like to hand it to you and he's like just throw it at me like I'm a bear that was a funny just like he says it yeah it's bear the delivery but also just like I wouldn't have thought of that that's a funny like thing to compare it to just like you're feeding a bear at the zero or something here take it like I can't really reach you you can't reach

me just just toss it throw it it Like, I can't really reach you. You can't reach me. Just toss it. Just throw it in the car. It's not that far. Yeah. What about you? Well, animal joke as well. He talks about pigs being crash test dummies back in the day. Just that mental image to me.

There's a lot of animals in there. The donkeys, the gorillas. The gorillas? The donkeys off the high dive. Oh, I remember the donkeys. Yeah.keys the gorillas the gorillas the donkeys off the high dive i remember the donkeys yeah or the gorillas gorillas got me my quote of the week so why don't you just wait okay take it back um but yeah he talked about pigs being crash test dummies back before they were like the crash test dummies in the whatever 1950s or something and just the image of a pig putting his hooves on the steering wheel and he said something like hey

it's a pretty good day i'm i get to drive a car yeah something about his elbow being out the window was so funny that did he do that for you guys i don't press he had the elbow out it was like this and like oh yes nice yeah so i i laughed i laughed hard and i laughed multiple times like for like five seconds after that you know like just thinking about it again kind of thing um it was fun we went to dinner beforehand with gunner and emily and didn't get have tickets with them you know but thought it'd be fun to go that's nice um so we parked together did everything together and as we were like parking uh emily's like where are your seats uh i think we're section 210 she's like i think we're section 210 and gunner's like, where are your seats? I think we're section 210. She's like, I think we're section 210.

And Gunnar's like, there's no way. Dude, we were two rows behind them. No way. Like two rows and almost like directly behind them, like two rows and three seats away from them. And so the one time that I really busted up laughing, Gunnar like looked back and was like, you can hear me laughing hard.

You know, that sounds kind of wild. I mean, it's a stadium of 18,000 people and we are within, you know, earshot of each other. Yeah. That's really fun. Did you see a lot of people you knew or people that recognized you? No, I don't think I saw anybody that I knew. Catherine sometimes has a radar for those things. And she's like, yeah, there are a few people that kind of like, as they're walking by,

kind of did a double take and then like said something and pointed their friends or something. Um, but no, no one came up and said anything to me. I don't think you see anybody. Yeah. I feel like it was a good crowd. Maybe I was there in the daytime, maybe more natural light coming in, you know, they could see me better. Maybe that's what it was. But we also got there. We had to like use flashlight to get to our seats. Like one of those people, I couldn't believe it, it dude we had the hardest time finding a parking spot yes and gunner was driving it's so hard for me to just like just i don't know maybe if you want to try it you don't think oh okay no no it's okay we got so lucky we uh went into one parking lot and it was full we go to another one

and i'm driving my window down like the pig and i can hear a woman uh telling someone else that this parking lot is full like dang it that's where you're gonna park and then when i get up there she's like you want to come in here and i was like what's up here what's this what's this privilege i've earned i just heard you say someone maybe it was a tight spots and so she's like uh all right cash only angie coop's got cash no problem and we drive oh what did she say go to the go to the horn it was some like word like that was like is this is this parking lot verbiage i don't know terms of a parking lot yeah round the horn real quick you'll be there it was go to the point maybe okay go down. Go, go down there to the point. I'm like, it's a rectangular parking lot. I see no points.

I don't know what point means, but luckily there was a guy crossing guard down there. And he's a French man named LaPointe. LaPointe. Yeah. And he parks us, dude, as close to the T-Mobile center as you'd get.

Best parking spot of my life. I'll never get this way again. The point is great. Yeah. I'm in a parking lot. Just, yeah, as close as possible to it. It was awesome. It was great.. Yeah. I'm in a parking lot. Just yeah. As close

as possible to it. It was awesome. It was great. It's fun. We parked two miles away, discount Duckworth. We didn't pay for it, but yeah, we parked plenty far away. I don't know. That's awesome. LaPointe. LaPointe. And then, uh, so yeah, it's me, Rachel, the coops in my car. My parents also came down this weekend. It was parents uh christmas gift to me rachel caitlin braden awesome so yeah really great gift so we're trying to find where caitlin and braden and my parents are so i call my mom like where are you guys at she's like we just parked i don't know where we're at you know i get it she's not from kansas or doesn't live in kansas city and i was like well we're on the east side of the T-Mobile Center. Do you guys know, like, what direction are you guys? And she goes, we're heading towards it.

I was like, okay, yeah. Maybe put Kayla on the phone. Kayla goes on the phone. I was like, do you know what, like, direction you guys are at? She's like, no idea. Which that's what I learned. No one in my family knows cardinal directions. I was surprised.

Even my sister. I was like, well, you know, like, River Market's, like, north. And she's like, I'm so turned around. I have no idea. Really? So. I was surprised. Even my sister, I was like, well, you know, like River Market's like north. And she's like, I'm so turned around. I have no idea. Really? Where was Papa Steve? I don't know where he was at. I don't know. I could not reach him. He was just being kind to

all the locals, you know, just talking to everybody. Yeah, yeah. He'd made some new friends probably or something. But yeah, I thought that was funny. Which direction are you? Towards it? Towards it. Obviously, I'm going towards it. Idiot. I would have just... Well, I guess they had your tickets. Is that the issue?

And electronic these days. Yeah. It was very interesting. My mom was showing me the app. I'd never seen this before. It's a QR code, and it'll let you screenshot them, but on there it says, screenshots will not work. New code regenerates every 60 seconds.

Yeah. Was it the AXS app? Maybe it was. Whatever was it? I never had the privilege. It just kept... Ours is like a moving barcode or something. Yeah. Was it the AXS app? Maybe it was. Whatever was it? I never had the privilege. It just kept, like, ours is like a moving barcode or something. Yeah. Which, come on.

I think it's cool. I know, but like sometimes it's over complicated. I wish there was a way to like electronically tear off, you know, two tickets and give them, like, you know, send them to people. I think you can sometimes, but yeah, anyway. Electronic tear off. Yeah. So we got there, I mean, 25 minutes late probably,

and still saw every single act. Wow. So I don't know. Maybe it was just – but as we were walking in, we walked into the back entrance, you know, like not as popular of a place to get in, but we saw all the people trying to get in. I mean, there was a huge line still. And so I was like, they're either going to miss out on all, you know, all the openers or they're gonna have to wait.

So we walked in as they were finishing up, they were showing like some SNL clips or something. Yep. So yeah, I missed all that. So that's probably why I didn't get recognized by 18. It probably is. We were there early. Uh, cause yeah, I mean, I had, I feel like there'll be multiple times I walk past people and I would hear them whisper, is it Trey Kennedy? I heard the words Trey Kennedy as I would walk by people. Girl sitting right in front of me turns around. It's like, oh my gosh,

you film videos for Trevor. I go, kinda. Pretty much. And then we talked for two minutes. It's kind of weird. Her boyfriend's got his arm around her the whole time. Never turned around as I'm just like talking to this girl. Power move. I mean, there's no show going, nothing to look at,

nothing to see. I'm like, this is wild. He's not turning around. We're having a very pleasant conversation. There's like a decent amount of body, uh, torque that it takes to turn around. Forget the body torque. Just be, be friendly. It's like your girlfriend's very engaged in a conversation and he's just i don't i don't i don't know trevor her ex's name trevor i don't know yeah that's right we don't we don't talk about trevor here um so yeah the yeah i'll say this about the the show i keep wanting to call it a concert i know it's not a concert um the openers i was not impressed with um save for the last one. Well, I guess it wasn't the last one for you.

The last opener just brought the house down. He went a little long, but no. What's his name? Something Jones. It wasn't Mike Jones. Mike Jones. Was it? He's a black guy.

Oh, yeah. He went first for us, for our show, but he was my favorite. And maybe there's a mental thing about going last that you think, well, this guy's the second best. Oh, yeah, he's great. He made me laugh a few times. I was really excited about Brian Bates, who's on their podcast, and I like his personality a lot.

Wasn't super impressed with his stand-up. But I'm also pretty critical. I know how hard it is to do stand up. So I'm always like proud of people that are doing it, especially for 18,000 people. I think that's what I am. I think people expect me to be more critical of stand up because me, Caitlin and Rachel all sit next to each other and they would have me rate it afterwards. Like it was how you do a movie trailer. Like, all right, would you see it? Would you not up down middle? But they said out of 10 and I feel like I always rated people higher than they did. Really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I would say, let's go big guy.

No, who was the first guy? The host? Jake Boots. Jake Boots? What's Jake Boots? Remember someone thought that was my name? Oh, yeah. Time of bringing out the old references.

Jake Boots, right? That was at the Houston show, I feel like I remember. He was like, you're Jake Boots. Something like that is how the story goes. Yeah, something like that. First guy was the really big guy. Like the guy that made me look like Nutrisystem. Two out of ten.

Wow. Three, maybe. Got me a chuckle once. Yeah. Second guy was Brian Bates, who I was excited about. And maybe that's part of my reasoning for not liking him very much expectations do i four out of ten i uh you know what i liked about him is and this is my only complaint about the show as a whole so at the matinee show there

were five openers so i saw six comedians i think you saw one less six different comedians and no one did like a super bowl joke no one did a taylor this is the night before the chiefs playing the super bowl yeah in jackson homes travis kelsey taylor swift there is so much material you have been offered you've been handed just the ball is on the tee for you yeah we'll laugh at anything well you're in the perfect city yeah to do this and oh i couldn't believe how little they were taking advantage of it. What I did like about Brian Bates is he made kind of specific football references and jokes about Alex Smith.

Now he's the Alex Smith of comedy where it's like, it's good. Never going to win you a championship. Like, I'm good. You think you have it pretty good with me until you see Patrick Mahomes. He said, Nate Mahomes is coming up later. So I really like that. I was like, thank you. No one's going to make a Taylor Swift joke?

Four and a half out of 10. I'll give him a half point for that. You're right. Brian Bates, if you're listening, great job. I like Brian a lot, okay? I'm not a hater. I'm not trying to be a hater. I'm just trying to be critical of his act.

Whatever. No, I'll say something critical as well. I thought a lot of times his punchlines were good, but it would take a very long time to get to them i think that's what it is for me is anytime i see it coming at all i can like try to predict like i bet he's gonna say this and then he says it's like well that's fine that was fine all right i did yeah uh and then yeah mike jones we'll call mike jones okay um five out of ten yeah i think i gave him an eight eight out of ten maybe he really that is the most jefferson bethke thing ever dude he brought honestly can i can i just be critical i think nate was like a eight out of ten really maybe

even a seven and a half who is your 10 out of 10 of a standup comedy? Nate. But I don't think his, I don't think it was like a great, great performance. Really? Personally. I, like I said, I was being critical. No, Nate is my favorite. Honestly, it feels like I'm like a hipster with Nate because I remember watching him when Hattie was first born. The standups?

Yeah. Yeah. And be like, this guy's incredible. And now it feels like everyone knows him, which is great but i i literally cried when he walked out on stage i got i got emotional i did i was like it was like what's that the morgan freeman or whoever it is like clashing redemption no i'm just kidding i don't know what you're whatever i'm trying to think of the meme where oh will smith at the very end of uh pursuit of happiness that's not what I'm thinking of, but sure. Okay.

That's Meme. Yeah. Meme crying, clapping, just like so happy. There he is. Like so cool. Like this is like the biggest name ever. Like I think he could go down as like the best comedian of our generation. Yeah.

I mean, he's probably to sell out to not quite so much, but I mean, two arenas in one city in Kansas City. Pretty insane. It's awesome. Shout out Kansas City for being supportive I noticed that he was a lot more

expressive in this act than like I think he's usually pretty deadpan he was yeah he had some physical more physical he had a little

more character like voices and stuff a little bit yeah and I was like that's interesting not bad but just different

I loved it oh yeah I still really enjoyed it. I'm just trying to be openly critical of everything. Did you have the host, the same guy, Julian or something, I think, was his name? Yeah, I'm sure it's the same guy. They introduced him, and they were like, I've seen on Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O'Brien, Julian, whatever.

I was like, oh, cool. That's a pretty impressive host. Yeah. You know, compared to like what I'm doing for Trey, like he's been doing it almost three years. You know, like this guy's even said on stage, been doing for 20 years.

He's been on late night television. So immediately, the bar raises a little bit. And I was kind of disappointed because he never really did any jokes. It was kind of just a lot of like Kansas City, Missouri, Kansas City, Missouri.

I don't know. I don't know where I'm at. And and some of the jokes were he was like ill-informed like they didn't like make sense well he just made a lot of missouri weight jokes yeah and i'm like yeah sure midwest we're plumper but like not everyone yeah that was kind of confusing i was like i don't know i think you've been misinformed a little bit like Like, yeah, this isn't that funny. It's not Springfield. I'm just kidding. Uh, yeah, yeah,

yeah. That was one of them. Um, which is funny. I think that was Catherine and Emily's second favorite was that guy. Really? Maybe I didn't hate him, but, um,

yeah, it was also interesting. Like I was, we were at like literally five rows from the top, like pretty high up. And so I could hear, I popped a bubble in my gum one time. I could hear it pretty audibly. It was pretty hard to hear them down there. So that was an interesting concept too. I think it needs to be louder somehow, figure that out. Noise creates energy.

That's what I say. Turn it up. So anyway, all together, really fun time though. I, I, I don't know. Nate's,

I think what makes him so funny and maybe you've already realized this, but I didn't realize it until the show is he talks like he's drunk, like, like just like 40% drunk. And I think that's what makes his delivery so funny is like, it's almost just a little bit just a little slower you know i don't know something the way he says things i will notice he'll cut himself off and it's on purpose it's not like he just had a new like thought all of a

sudden but i think it's like purposeful like and i says to him well what you know whatever like something like that oh i see in the middle of his own sentence he takes it like a different direction i can't think of a good example i noticed myself just saying so at the middle of his own sentence, he takes it like a different direction. I can't think of a good example. I noticed myself just saying so at the end of things like he does afterwards. Like, yeah, we got done with that, and it was a really good time. So, you know how he does that. So, I don't know. So, if dates come to your city, go see him. Gotta.

Gotta see him. All right. Let's do a little ad read for Cozy Earth. Yeah. Hey. Hey. Yeah. Tymon.

Let's talk about, um, just our, our time watching the Super Bowl a little bit. Okay. Time at your house. It was a lot of fun. What about you? I, too, had fun.

Well, we covered that. Yeah, it was a great time. We had a good spread. I went ups and downs as far as how i felt about the game uh but ultimately i was very happy i was talking actually to my barber uh two days ago about it and how i'm really glad i watched it with the guys i did because like i think we all understand each other well enough to like like we trust each other you know what i mean go on like um like let's say we got we got a scott peck in the room.

Scott Peck is the classic and he's not even that bad, but he's the classic, like, like just doomsday kind of guy, just a little bit more bummed out than the rest of us. You know, I, I know, but I just know like, that's just Scott saying his thing. Go ahead. He cares. That's why he's doing this, you know? And then Gunner's going to have his own quirks where he's got a football with the bag on it, which people are asking, why is there a bag on the football? It's because it's assigned by Patrick Mahomes. And so I don't let him hold it without the bag, but he's walking around with the football, making us all kiss the bag. You know, it's like, that's Gunner. I'm going to let Gunner do his thing. You know, if every once in a while we

score a touchdown and Gunner jumps on us, that happens. But I think we all trust each other enough to know like, Hey, we're all believing in this team together. We've seen it all. Don't, don't get too far up or down. Let's just, let's just watch this bad boy together. Fun, fun observation. What'd you think of the commercials? Honestly, I kind of took the commercials off for the most part. I think that was my one time to not watch it because I was so glued on the game. And so I don't remember too many commercials too specifically. I remember liking the Dunkin' Donuts one.

Oh yeah, I should go back and watch that. When Matt Damon says, how do you like them donuts? I'm sorry. The way he said that, I remember I was sitting next to Peter and Peter really liked that. Yeah, that was funny. Beyond that, I have a hard time remembering most of them. What did you think of the State Farm commercial

where they tried to get Arnold to say the hard R? That was funny. Yeah. Also like, hey, let's not parody this too much, but there's some funny word there. I did have that thought. The hard R. Yeah.

Nay-bah. Yeah. That was pretty good. Watching next to Peter made them all pretty funny because Peter was laughing at all of them. Had you seen any of them beforehand online? No. The one that I kind of seen beforehand

was one that I ever saw on the broadcast. I saw there was going to be a Taylor Swift bringing dads and daughters together. Never saw it. And we had overtime. What brand was that? Do you know? I don't know.

Taylor Swift brand? Yeah, taylorswift.com Do you know? I don't know. Taylor Swift brand? Yeah, taylorswift.com. Swiffer? I don't know. Yeah, I usually, I don't feel like I'm online quite as much as I was last year maybe, but usually I see most of the commercials beforehand on Twitter or something. But all the ones I saw, they were brand new to me. No avocados for Mexico this year.

No, they're struggling. They're struggling. They're not quite as ripe. So, uh, yeah, it feels like there's a few like, uh,

staples that aren't there anymore. Go daddy. They're, they're done. Yeah. Doritos used to go big, but light used to go big. Doritos didn't have any,

did they? I don't think so. Bud light, Budweiser had some, maybe Bud Light's just trying to stay out of it for a while. I missed it apparently there was one about the Coors Light like

the people all over the world join in did you see that one? I missed that one I don't remember it the love train one most of the game it was a lot of like check Twitter

what are people saying you know about the game yeah most of it was like commercial that's the one time I'm gonna go up and interact with Catherine slash get some food. Go get some pizza. Yeah. So one other quirk of the night.

I never had this happen. People with an Apple watch. Let me know if this ever happened to you. So for some reason, I mean, it's just normal day. Nothing. It was like I got water in it or something. But my watch was bugging and not like buttons were being pressed. But it's like the screen was being pressed in nine different places at once.

So if the face, the watch face was on, I'm just seeing apps going crazy and things are getting clicked in the app. And it's just like, it's absurd. I've never seen anything like it. So I'm like taking off my watch, like trying to like turn it off a little bit. Um, but I don't know what to, so I like take it off my wrist for like an hour. I'm like, maybe I'll go back and it's reset itself. I don't know. I get back on,

it's going crazy. So I'm trying to like turn it off and I'm holding the button that starts to turn it off. Well then I can't click the power button quick enough because it starts auto clicking. Well, one of the things that auto clicked was emergency call. So,

I mean, this, the middle of a very important game, very important moment. I'm having to step away, and then I'm just doing this off to the side. 911, what's your emergency? Sorry, that was my watch. My bad.

This is not an emergency. I'm so sorry. My heart rate's just really high right now because of the Chiefs. Okay, go back. And that happened twice that night. Once, like like right after the Super Bowl where I'll try to celebrate. I'm like, my watch is calling 911 again. Jeez. I have to go to the side. I'm sorry.

I don't know how to make my watch. I'm so sorry. I wonder how often that happens. I had to apologize to 911. Talked to them on the phone twice. At least they answered. They answered. Tymon, you listen to that episode yet? One time they called me back and then that was the end of it. They didn't like show up or

you know. They called you back. Did you answer? Or did you go to voicemail? No, I think I went to voicemail. And then I just, I guess it was all good. Imagine getting the call from 911. Like they are relying on you. Like, oh boy. I'm trying to look now. When would that have been?

Did they leave me a voicemail I don't know oh yeah they did hey let's listen to it I didn't know they left me a voicemail that sounds like they do that 20 times a day if you have an emergency please go back it's like that judah kid follow me for tips like this yeah follow me for more tips like this. Yeah. Follow me for more tips. Just kind of annoyed by it. But yeah, Super Bowl overall was just a great time. I don't want to rub it in too much, but I can't imagine

how much the 49ers are just reeling all 49ers fans when they're hearing their team not knowing how to do the overtime rules. Yeah, I think it's such a mistake that the players are so well now that mic'd up has come out everything like you can't really hide it but it was interesting how willing they were to publicly say yeah hey hand up i didn't know the rules whoops like i think that looks bad on you that looks bad on your coach i was just shocked they were willing to say it and then yeah it makes it hurt more as a 49ers fan you're like well

darn it right the players and coaches didn't really know the room maybe the coaches did but the players didn't do you just kind of assume that they have to take like a quiz every year like a like a like an admittance exam into the team like it's like a like a driver's test like it's pretty easy but you gotta answer it correctly prove you know what yeah because like obviously the defensive players have to know like legal things you can can and can't do on defense they gotta know the rules of the game it seems like the chief took the test chris jones our defensive player he knew the offensive strategy he's like no coach reid says it every week if we get in the overtime we make them uh get the ball first and then we score and go for two like he even knew that he don't even need to know that that would just be that would be killer as a 49ers fan to just

keep hearing that over and over again. Sorry that we brought it up again. Shall we do some voice memos? Shall we? We shall. Okay. I'm finding them, alright? Stop freaking out. Hello, Jake, Brad, and Diamond. Listening the other day to episode 302, a voice memo

brought up that he was listening to episode 31. That's the new number! I finished that episode, and Spotify went straight to an old Ghostrunners podcast episode I had been listening to, and it picked up right at Jake screaming, 31! Now, I would like to call that irony, but

obviously that is actually a mutual single-eye blink at a sound of two metal cups hitting together, otherwise known as a cool while i'm here i also wanted to ask you guys a question that came comes from my own podcast actually i started with a couple friends called the magic studio if you were given the chance to do single combat with a shark and you had one minute to do it, you go down and the length of shark, you get $100,000 for each foot. How large of a shark would you fight? So one foot shark, $100,000, 10 foot,

$1 million. How big of a shark would you fight? Thanks. Bye. There's a lot of info to process there. He said you get one minute to prepare or to beat the shark. I think you have to fight him for one minute. Oh, okay. Just fight him off. Yeah. Basically. Yeah. So the goal is to not die.

Or just how hurt do you want to get too? Yeah, yeah. I think super easy answer, two-foot shark. That's such an easy $200,000, I feel like. But go three time. Go three and see what happens. Yeah, because I mean mean i can heal up pretty quick from a three-foot shark what can you i mean three feet what what where am i fighting the shark

you think land like i'm on land like am i in like am i in like a swimming pool i feel like you're probably swimming with it but in the ocean is what i what I'm saying? Do I have a footing? Yeah, do you have a boogie board? Momentum and stuff. Do I have a boogie board? Yeah, do I have any sort of... Are there waves? Right, any sort of weapons? Yeah, what's the undertow like? One minute.

And how vicious is this shark? Like, is it one of those things where I have to kind of provoke it? Or is it like, it's coming for you? That's a great question too. Maybe you have to like go in with like a cut. So it's smelling your blood. You have to like, yeah.

You just have a little like a little wound as you enter the water. Cause like. That'll get it hungry. You hear people surviving shark attacks all the time. I could survive a shark attack for a million bucks would you honestly yeah i mean i don't know what an average like great white shark like length is but like people don't die very often from that people don't die as much it's it's a it's i don't think anybody's ever died honestly i think it's just like a big arms and legs and stuff. Yeah. This says, according to the Florida museum, Justin,

for sharks, any shark that is roughly six feet or longer is a potential threat to humans. So we just made half a million dollars. Okay. Yeah. Unless you want to go six. Honestly, I would just take four feet probably and just smash it hard right away and

just kill it. What would you smash it with? My body. Underwater? My elbow. Or like. Yeah, you're right. In my head, I'm imagining this.

I know this sounds silly. I'm imagining it being like a two-foot pool. I'm going to fight this thing. I know that's probably not. That would be awesome. It's only a danger to your shins and your feet. Your cut is on your hand, so you're actually fine. Okay, yeah, you're right.

I think even in the water, you try to to punch in the eye as hard as you can it's like four feet i think punch that thing in the eye would you would you uh double your chances and double punch two two fists at the straight straight down straight bob it bob it bob it shark it flick it i've heard stuff before that like if a shark bites you it means like it's because it thought you were like a seal or something you know so philosophy theory okay i give it a little sample bite hey come take a little forearm bite and he's like oh what is that oh that seal is rotten. That one's so meat. Well done. Sour.

Yikes. So I think I invite the first bite. Kind of like those attack dogs. This is a how many feet long shark? Great question. Doesn't matter. Yeah. Give me a big one.

I mean, that's going to hurt like crazy. Yeah. As soon as it tastes you, I mean, it'll take a while to heal, but I think once it tastes you, it'll spit you out. Honest answer, five-foot shark. Five? That's where I'm finding myself, too.

Let's see it. Size it up. Like right here? Yeah. Dang, that's scary. Up to here if you're standing. Yeah, I'm pretty terrified of animals. They don't have arms or legs, though. Oh, that's right. Up to here if you're standing. Yeah, I'm pretty terrified of animals. They don't have arms or legs, though.

Oh, that's right. You're right. So what can they really do to you? What can they do? They just got the momentum of their tail and then their mouth. Good, right? Just grab onto that tail. And just hang on.

If you're holding onto their tail, are they flexible enough to whip back around and get you? Good question. tail can are they flexible enough to whip back around and get you question i'd like to make a like a i'd like to negotiate with mr shark whoever's in charge of this little thing it's like can i get a rope i'm not going to use it to harm the shark i'm not going to asphyxiate the shark i want to use it like tied around it and ride it like a bull you yeah that's when the boogie board comes in you you attach it to yeah attach the little rope thing to the shark and then just hold on to the boogie board. Just go wild. Yeah.

Or just hold on to the fin. It's already got a built-in handle. It can't bite me if I'm on the fin. It can't bite you if you're on the fin. You might even want a bigger shark because bigger fin, bigger handle. Go 13 foot. I feel like the fin would be super slippery though.

All right. Is a shark... Okay. I picture dolphin, very smooth. Shark, maybe more rough. Which is great. It's traction, yeah. Yeah.

I know one of them, if you move your dolphin shark whale, I forget the difference, but if you move one of them backwards up their skin, it cuts you. Against the grain. Against the grain. Yeah, it's the wood of the sea. Or the putting green.

Okay, you and me together, how big a shark we go on? We can ride that thing to the often the sunset. Me and you together. What would, what do you think your strengths are? Just being a big target for it. Okay. Like decoy.

Yeah. Well, did you just come out from the side? They don't even see you coming. What do I do? You double bop that thing and jump on. Me and you together. You can't kill both of us in one minute, right?

We're going to go down swinging. Yeah. And then we could both have like one arm each. Imagine how nice of a podcast studio we could have with one arm and two million dollars yeah I

don't want to I don't care how many people are I think the bigger the shark is just so much scarier yeah but then what if he tastes me knows it's not seal how sure are you of that theory not totally sure definitely not totally sure all right my final answer.

You guys said five. I'll go three. I'll be a pansy about it. I don't care. Three foot, and there's no way that I'm at least not just like kicking it away

to one minute's not that long once you're in combat. You're making this out of this with minimal injuries and $300,000. I think that sounds great. That's awesome. Yeah, that's a good point.

That sounds pretty tempting. I think if that... Now I get angry when I think about these things. Because if that shark came at me, I would take both my feet and just shove it away. And shove it away. And shove it away. If we're both underwater, that shark is so quick. You just got to hang on to the bottom half of him.

That's what I would do for the whole minute. I'm not like fighting him. I'm not like squaring him up or anything. I'm not shoving him away. I'm not kicking him away. I'm like waiting for his first move.

Hit him to the side and then grab onto the back of him. Yeah, you're just like, just go to sleep. Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Oh, I wish it was dolphins. Just cover their hole

where they breathe. I think they have their noses at the top. But they breathe air, though. Yeah, I would cover. Oh, yeah. I'll suffocate. Oh, sure, yeah. Yeah.

Just holding our breath the whole time. So we're both holding our breath. Okay. That's fun. Fun question. Thank you. All right, next one. Do we want to hear from Mr. Waffles again? holding our breath the whole time so we're both holding our breath okay that's fun fun question thank you all right next one do we want to hear from mr waffles again always dude i will always say yes to mr waffles mr waffles what do you got for us i i press play time in jake red i'm gonna take you up on that offer of doing a voice memo every week you pick number one which is twister a man who control oxygen so who wins him versus viper

a man who could create any and all poisons as well as be immune to them and is assassin next we have timing who said 208 which is an index a super speedster him versus coda who is a cyborg and oz giant robot um yeah and then lastly we have jake who said 101 85 which is ice the true beauty the daughter of an intergalactic tyrant and sure bild ability allows her to charm people of the opposite sex as long as she's not interested in them. If she's interested in them, then her ability has no effects on them. So, yeah. Rickshaw is her opponent, the reality manipulator.

I forgot I was Rickshaw. I'm trying to write you down over there. No, I'm just taking notes really quick. We got Twister versus Viper. Ninja X versus Coda. What was Twister, though? Controls oxygen? Yeah, he's like what I thought dolphins were.

Okay. Viper. Oh, he was the poison. And also is immune to all poisons. Sounds pretty good. He makes a bunch of poison and doesn't get affected by it. I don't think I realized that he made poison as well. Immune slash poison

maker. What does ice do? Ice is the true beauty. Daughter of the intergalactic tyrant charms the opposite sex as long as she's not interested in them. I could charm the heck out of ice. Rickshaw will have no

problem. Uh-huh okay twister controls oxygen seems like a big deal I take twister over viper I think he said he's going to post

to a win each matchup on patreon oh he's gonna decide for us yeah I guess so okay I mean if you can control oxygen

I'm not that scientific but also I don't know how to control poison. I just take it away from the other person. Would you say that a lack of oxygen is like getting poisoned? Yeah. So which, which takes their effect earlier? Yeah. If all I can do is control oxygen, I know it's really a lot,

but like I wish I was strong or something, which I was kind of fast. Twister is an interesting name. I would have thought there'd be wind involved. Tornadic activity. Also, that's your first one. Waffles? That's true. You picked number one, didn't you? Yeah. I think it was like Superman.

Let's do the oxygen guy first. Anyway. Next one's Ninja X oxygen guy first. Anyway. Next one's Ninja X versus Coda. Ninja X super speedster. Now we're talking. Now these are superheroes. I like that. The dash of the Mr. Waffles verse.

Yeah. Versus the cyborg giant robot of Coda. Oh, Ninja X. Yeah. Yeah. Cyborg giant robot sounds really slow. Yeah. He's not catching up to Ninja X anytime soon.

Right? And the last one we know, I mean, Rickshaw is going to, you know, win her over. He's a reality manipulator. He could. Oh, yeah. Be as hot as he needs to. He's Prince Charming. Sorry, Ice.

Ice, the true beauty. Thank you, Mr. Waffles. Let us know on Patreon. I'm excited to see the response. All right. I'm trying to find the next one. Here we go. A little bit of a delay happening.

It'll get there. Hey, guys. Will Reyes here from Dallas, Texas, a.k.a. Billy Blue Jeans. Long-time listener, first-time caller. I wanted to just quickly ask, I'm a worship minister at a church here in Dallas. And one thing that I probably shared with Brad before is just how awkward sometimes talking to the congregation

or to whatever the group you're leading can be and how many opportunities there are for just really funny mix-ups. One example I can think of is I said, know it if you sing it instead of sing it if you know it. And one time I just said at a student event, hey, everybody, let's just start clapping a la Michael Scott. And there wasn't even a song playing. It was even before a song even started.

So, love to hear any awkward moments that, Brad, you might have had or Jake, that you might have seen in church. Yeah, have at it. Love you guys. Bye. Wait, so he just froze so much that he was just like, all right, everyone, let's go ahead and clap your hands for the Lord. Put your hands together.

That's pretty funny. I guess just in silence. I think I've talked about it. I know I've talked about it on the podcast, the God's magic thing. Yeah, that was great. That's kind of my claim to infamy is just, yeah, one time I prayed, and I just prayed for God to use his magic in this place or something like that. Overwhelm us with your magic.

Yeah. If you're grading me as a worship leader on a grade card, I guess you'd call it, I'd be a solid, like overall, like a B minus C plus. And I think it's, I think I would have, my strength would be that I can like play and sing and like lead a band well, but I am not comfortable and I am not good at the talking. The in-betweens. No, I'm not like a... Like one of my best friends leads worship in Manhattan, Kansas.

Shout out to Logan. Hey, Logan. And he is really good at like calling, like inviting, you know, worship, like whatever, like giving this invitation or giving this great word or, you know, speaking and praying. And I, I'm just not great with that. And so I totally get all these fails. Like I so much. So like, just was like, I need to like write out my prayers. I need to be like a little bit more intentional. Cause if not, I'm just going to throw out God's magic or something like that. Um, I'm trying to think of just like specific times where I've, like I said, I've tried to avoid for the most part having like, I never really like did long interludes in between songs or anything

like that, unless I had like written them out because I wanted to be intentional. Anyway. There was one time I remember like just literally being in the wrong key, like the piano started, it was playing, it sounded great. And then I had my capo. If you know what that is on guitar, I had it on a three instead of a four and I just played and it was just as dissonant as you can imagine. Like it wasn't even like a three instead of a seven, you know? So it kind of might like be a different chord in the same key. It was like, no, this is just like one step down. She's not good. It's not even close. It was, Oh, it just, Oh, it was one of those times where I just had to like stop and like restart.

Like, or there's been a few times where I, my guitar was really out of key or out of tune. Like right when I started a song, you know, it wasn't like cringy, but I was just like, I just want to,

I just want to stop rather than like making the sound really bad for everyone. I think it's better than just playing the whole time. Just kind of acknowledging that. Um, but yeah, I can't think of too many. Ty, can you think of any public

blunders? Church, theater, anything like that? Not really. Just a bit dynamite. I'm trying to think of any that I've done necessarily. Nothing comes to mind, but I'm sure that... Never forgot a line? I definitely have, I think.

But I think I've usually done a decent job just like figuring out something just like fill in the blanks yeah i've done that with comedy before just like like nothing's coming to mind so so you guys get it you guys get it you guys are a good crowd you guys appreciate you guys it's gonna be a good show tonight i would laugh so hard if i witnessed that you just going you guys going, you guys get it. You guys get it. I don't have to tell you guys twice. You understand.

This guy knows what I'm talking about. What's your name? Phil. Phil gets it then. Phil gets it. Yeah, this guy gets it. What's your name? Dave.

Phil and Dave get it. What's your name? Back to the back. You get it? Yeah, you get it. Stephanie gets it. All right. My name is Jake Tripple.

You guys have a good night. Could not remember it. See you guys. Three minutes into your set. I mean, that kind of happened at the Springfield show. It was my first show in a long time. And yeah, she's up there. Just like a few, just like filler words.

And I talked to my friends afterwards. They said like, oh, we didn't notice. Yeah. But there's been a few times when I've watched Trey, because I mean, he does it for an hour. And I've thought, dude, I think he just forgot. Yeah. But I don't think he does. I think maybe he does.

I don't know. Maybe it's just his way of pacing himself more. You know? Do you think he forgets sometimes? He's said to me before, like, yeah, I got kind of stuck there. Like, I've seen him like forget, like all of a sudden,

like think he's in the second verse when he's in the third verse of a song, and then like, you know, get the words mixed up, but always recovers quickly. Man. Yeah, it's just live performances. And I, I love worship fails. I think they're so funny. I think it's so hilarious. I'm trying to think of another, anything like, I feel like maybe one time a guitar fell over or something.

Who was it? I don't think it was me, but I think somebody, maybe I was playing with their strap. Wasn't on their guitar. It's like strummed. I don't think it fell all the way off, but like in the video, you could kind of like watch them. They're holding up the neck and just like goes vertical. Um, he's got to sit down and play it on your lap at that point. At that point.

Yeah. And every once in a while, it's just like, I shouldn't have had that person sing that song or I shouldn't have said like, Oh, I shouldn't have started that octave. I mean, we do that all the time with jingles.

Start too high. Oh, you should have sung lower on that one. So, anyway. That's fun. Thanks, Will. Yeah. Let's do one more. Okay.

For now. Do you guys want to guess if I've pressed it or not? What's up, Brad Deuce and Jake the Great? I have a lot of cheese to slice, so let me get to it. First of all, if this is the second time you're hearing this this message sorry about that um i wasn't sure if the first one went through so anyway when you guys come and visit main street roasters uh in napanee i'm challenging you the same way you challenged tyson mcguffin to a pickleball match against my twin brother and i and i think we've got in the bag now here's a half-baked business idea for you

the solar eclipse in April is going to be just south of where I live and I bought a ton of solar eclipse glasses and want to go sell them for an extremely marked up price the day of for people who don't have them good idea good idea what do you think we're also going to sell some sun-kissed starry milky way starburst things like that And here's a question for you, Brad. What is your favorite woodworking tool, power tool or hand tool or both? And what is a good starter project for someone looking to get into woodworking? I love the podcast, guys. You guys are great. Keep it up.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye. He did have a lot in there. A lot of cheese to slice. That's what he said, something like that. Down to play you and your brother in pickleball easy easy dub he's got it in the bag though he said i have it in my guess where i keep my paddles yeah in my bag yeah oh we're going to use friday pickleball paddles are

you going to be using friday pickleball paddles because if not we will beat you every time and even if you do thank you for supporting the business, but we'll beat you anyway. Fridaypickle.com. Nice. Yeah? Yeah. Beginning woodworker project? I mean, beginner beginner is probably a cutting board. What about, what do they always have people make in chocolate?

Birdhouse. I think I made a birdhouse back in the day. I think a cutting board is easier than a birdhouse. Yeah. Birdhouse has got angles on it. Birdhouse sounds complicated. Yeah. Why'd they make me start with birdhouse? I don't know. Yeah. I made a cutting board is easier than a birdhouse. Yeah. Birdhouse has got angles on it. Birdhouse sounds complicated. Yeah. Why'd they make me start with a birdhouse?

I don't know. Yeah. I made a box car, like a CO2 kind of car. Oh, wow. Remember those things? Yeah, a little bit. A little cartridge that you put in the back, and then you would race them against your friends.

I made that in seventh or eighth grade, and I was terrified of woodworking after that because of the scroll saw, is what it's called. Like, they're like, yeah, be careful with your hands or you could cut off your hand with this thing, cut off your fingers. And I'm like, and so because of that, I didn't do woodworking again for another 15 years probably. So don't, don't start with that project.

If you don't want to start with the cutting board, start with the cutting board, start with the, my first thing I made was a coffee table, which was really fun. Anything go on Anna White's website. Anna White is awesome. Cutting board. Start with the cutting board. Start with the... My first thing I made was a coffee table, which was really fun. Anything... Go on Anna White's website. Anna White is awesome. Anna White? She is the DIY queen of woodworking. Anna White.

Hey, Anna White. She's awesome. Check her out. But I think, yeah, cutting boards, if you have the right tools for her, are pretty awesome, pretty easy. What was the other... The business idea.

Solar Eclipse. I'm very curious why you already have so many. It sounds like he already had the idea and he just wants our affirmation. Okay, gotcha. He bought these ahead of time. Yeah. Yeah.

That is good for you. Yeah, go for it. I mean, I would have said no if you didn't already have them, but now that you do, go for it. I think people will look kindly upon you because you're doing kind of the fun Milky Way sun kiss thing. You look less of a business person and more of like, hey, we're all having fun.

Look at the Milky Way. Yeah, play some fun music when you're doing it. Maybe some theme music, like Total Eclipse of the Heart. Stars by Switchfoot. Oh my gosh what a song yeah the way he's ah john forbin's fun good

um there's some song choices for you yeah um i'd say offer up some some uh maybe not bulk but some some discounts hey two glasses and a milky way yes hundred bucks

you have names for the for the. Yes. A hundred bucks. You have names for the different bundles. Yes. A hundred bucks. I don't know what they're going for. I don't know either. Yeah. Surely not that, but if so,

then definitely do this business idea. Yeah, that's fun. I don't know what they would go for. Did you experience a solar eclipse when it was in Kansas City? No, it was when I just moved to Dallas. It was such a bummer. Oh, really?

Yeah. I had just moved down there and Kansas City's getting total darkness. Birds are chirping dark outside at 2 p.m. and Dallas was just like, ah, the shadow of the leaves looks kind of different, but that was it. The toilets roll or spin in a different direction.

Tymon, do you experience it? I can't. Like, how long ago was this? 2017. Yeah, it was like right when Hattie was born. Yeah. Yeah, I think we we with some people a couple hours away. I think Omaha was a hot spot. Peak. I don't know, but it was cool. I remember it got pretty dark.

I don't remember total darkness, though. I do. It was wild. It was really weird. And yeah, the animals would like make noise. Like, yeah, birds or whatever. We were out at my cousin's farm and, or his in-laws place. Anyway, and they have like a automatic light that turns on when it gets dark.

So all of a sudden that turns on. It's like, what in the world? I also did stare at the sun for a good second just to see on yeah unprohibited just just to check it out it was dumb i'm just fine doing just fine lasik cures all um that would be fun to see total darkness i think i just start messing with people i just start howling what's wrong with that guy sorry sorry sorry princess fiona situation going on there's a classic picture of katherine and hattie both in their like glasses fun yeah pretty cute yeah i know the uh

my airbnb treehouse it's got to be in what they call total depravity it's not depravity yeah what is that the zone totality maybe yeah i think that's what it's a line of totality it's one of those things where it's like if i owned a treehouse, I would probably ask for people to rent it out and go to it. But like if I'm in the area, I'll watch it, but I'm not going to like go hours away to seek it out personally. It is a cool experience,

but let's see. Yeah, I don't know. I want to feel it at least once. It feels like this is like a climate change thing, though. Like they're going to start just pop up all the time now. Like there's going to be a lot more of these. Yeah. We're affecting it. Line of totality.

Solar eclipse. Looks like it's going to be Monday, April 8th. And, yeah, northwest Arkansas. Oh, right through like the heart of Texas, like east Texas. Looks like, I mean, probably. There's not cities on here, but. Deep in the heart of Texas, like East Texas. Looks like, I mean, probably there's not cities on here, but deep in the heart of Texas. You could say that. Yeah. I wonder if I'm going to be like Dallas or yeah, it looks like it.

There's not cities on here, but that looks like where I believe Dallas and Austin places to be April 8th. Am I going to be on the road? Nope. Back here. Oh, well, well, that's been eclipse. Yeah, let's do a little. Let's do a little... Let's talk a little bit about...

Uh, you listen to Yodo, Charlotte's web, Bo, did, did you poop in the toilet? He goes that I did, that I did. And he's kind of, he kind of nods that I did, that I did. Uh, and then apparently I missed this one. This was with Catherine. Um, there's big Hills by our house. Like, you know, like rolling hills. And Hattie loves calling them the Mamba Hills, which is the name of a roller coaster in Kansas City.

But they just have so much fun anytime they're driving on these hills. And apparently, Bo goes, when they're on these hills, he just goes, iceberg, killed ahead. And Hattie goes, Bo, you mean dead ahead. Pretty funny. That pretty funny that's funny that even that I did that I did why even say iceberg

kids are fascinating well I think probably Titanic somehow like yeah just like the hill is the iceberg

yeah I don't know yeah they're just yeah iceberg killed ahead Bo you mean dead ahead. Dead ahead.

That I did. That I did. Tommy, you got a quote? I just thought of this. I wasn't going to have a quote, but Zach told me a story last night. My friend Zach, he works at a coffee shop. Midget. And he said there was, he said there was.

I, and he's like, if they're warm. Yeah. If they're warm, they're just going to slide.

If they're warm and fresh, they're just sliding right down. I'm like, he's like, I think you're eating. I think you're eating one every four seconds. I'm like, no,

you're not. Four seconds. We got Joey Chestnut over there. Dunking them in water. It's like, this is actually a sight to see. Yeah. It was interesting because like,

I really do think this would make for great TV, but I mean kid's a high schooler can we i don't know if we should like i would feel bad televise this yeah because then his parents are gonna like hate us yeah like why did you let him do this you guys are grown adults it's like i don't know it's just have you heard the term content is king i don't know 72 he said every four seconds i just wanted to see he later corrected he was like he was like i i still think i think i could do i think i could do 24 and he's like 30 if brad's watching that's awesome extra it did make me feel better about my 12 apparently nate bargett did it did you hear about this uh during like while he was recording a podcast i think so yeah yeah some people have seen you know how many he did i don't know they he made i haven't watched

it yet but people are like uh nate bargetts he just did this last week it wasn't as easy as they thought so i don't think they got a whole dozen down but we'll see yeah man they are good all right uh next one we got quirk of the week qu of the Week. Let's make a little sound effect for Quirk of the Week. Quirk? Quirk of the Week? Quirk of the Week? Hey, what's up? That's a quirk.

Not to be confused with Irk of the Week, which we no longer do because of the language. Correct. We want kids to be able to listen to this. Quirk. Quirk. Just because it's in there doesn't mean it's inappropriate. Yeah. It's like...

You're saying a word. Risky. Asphalt. Yeah. Because you want to put fault on us. Hoover Dam. yeah it's like you're saying a word asphalt yeah because you want to put fault on us careful come on come on the salt and pepper song push it

just push it thank you what were we saying oh quirk of the week dude this is strange and it's funny that because this is your idea like let's do quirk of the week and i was like of course when this is like going on i haven't told rachel this i haven't told anyone this i love this already it's not that strange but just the fact that no one else know this is this is hot off the press yeah so for some reason i've been like playing out in my head, me,

us, like interviewing like A-list celebrities on the podcast. I'll just be in the shower thinking like, if Taylor Swift came on Ghostrunners, like what would I ask her? And then I'll spend five minutes thinking about that. I love that. Or just like,

if I like, if Patrick Mahomes wanted to do an interview with us, like how would we go about that? And I'll just think about it. And don't, I don't want people commenting. Look at Jake manifesting it's not what i'm doing all right do you mind i'm just having a little fun in the shower all right do you mind you're just having a little fun with taylor and patrick in the shower all right it just thoughts yeah oh yeah yeah just

as i'm yeah sniffing my bar very heavily i'm just imagining it. That's it. Yeah. Do you? Yeah. There's nothing wrong with that. All right. Do you mind manifesting it, though, for us? Can you? Can you define what you mean? Just manifest it. Oh, okay. No, thank you.

Okay. Well, I don't know. It's a weird quirk. I don't know why I've been doing this. I know we wax poetic, a.k.a. glaze these days, as Gen Z says. Tymon a weird quirk. I don't know why I've been doing this. I know we wax poetic, AKA glaze these days. Gen Z says, you're welcome.

We wax poetic about Patrick Mahomes, how he's the best. I truly do think he's the best. I also truly do believe in like, not like an arrogant, like we're so lucky, um, or we're such a big deal kind of way, but just in a Kansas city kind of way that we are going to meet Patrick

Mahomes someday. Who I have a bet with someone. I think it's with DJ Mikel. We shook hands and we have a bet and it's who can meet their favorite celebrity first. It's him and Bruno Mars or me and Patrick Mahomes. Oh my gosh. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna

smoke you. So much better. Granted, Mikel is in the music industry and I'm not in the football industry, but still. Dude, like that's the thing though is like Kansas City just feels normal enough of a place that Patrick Mahomes is not only exclusively

going to XYZ restaurants, you know, that we would never go to or whatever. Like it's just a good old fashioned city that there's not like some upper echelon

that we'll never experience people from. And he lives in Kansas City. Like Travis Kelsey kind of lives in Kansas City, but like, I don't know. I don't, I'm not as, I wouldn't put money on me meeting Travis Kelsey someday.

But Patrick Mahomes just feels right. And he's going to be here for like 15 more years probably. Yeah, we got a lot of time. It just feels right. Bruno Mars, no way. Like that guy only, that guy, somebody shops for him. And like, you know what I mean?

You know how i'm gonna meet travis kelsey through brock purdy in portugal oh perfect i don't know if he's actually going perfect to all the taylor swift concerts but it feels like that yeah like he is much more likely to be out and about in lisbon than he is in america and yeah he's gonna be a like a hot commodity there but not as hot as he would be in America. No. You know? Yeah. The people in Lisboa, they don't know him. Lesbian. Lesbian. Lesbian Portugal.

So my quirk of the week is just for whatever reason, this week, just been interviewing people in my head. I like that. I don't know why. You know why. You're getting there, baby. That's our next step. I mean, Steve and Curtis Chapman's coming on eventually.

Eventually, Steve will be on. I haven't ran that one through in the shower. I'll get working on it. You'll get there. Things I would ask him. Yeah. My quirk of the week, I mentioned it to you guys last week. I've been messing around with AI.

My quirk of the week is that I realize I feel the need to be polite to AI. Dude. Sorry, go ahead. Yeah? Yeah, yeah. Anyone else? Yeah. Like I'll, you know, we'll try to like help it generate, you know, whatever, creative

things for me. Hey, what's a fun idea for a YouTube video? Whatever, all these different things. And then it'll give me 10 ideas and I'll respond. First of all, I'll give an affirmation. I'll be like, those are great. Can you please provide me with 10 more? I like this. Yeah. Those are great. I could usually just be like 10 more and that's all. Yeah. But I would just feel so slimy. That is so silly. It's AI.

I do the same thing, dude. That's so funny. I did it this morning right before we started the podcast. Let me tell you. But when, So I tried to get AI to write a jingle and it did an okay job. So I said, try again, but this time parody a Taylor Swift song. Whichever song is easiest for you. Hey, no worries.

Like people pleaser. Just whatever. I don't care. You know what's easy. I don't care. Yeah. Whatever's easiest for you. If you don't mind,

when it's convenient, please provide me with the Taylor Swift song. Literally not a big deal. Whatever is easiest for you, if you don't mind, when it's convenient, please provide me with the Taylor Swift song. Literally not a big deal. If that's something you're comfortable with. There is a girl I follow on Instagram. Her name is Elise. Oh, dude.

She's so funny. Oh, yeah. You guys know Elise? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think one of her first viral videos is she just said women confronting each other. And it's so funny. Confronting each other. it's so funny each

other like how they can't do it i think that's the first one i saw yeah it's just like that just like i was singing the other day uh how much i love doing the dishes oh my gosh i've done the dishes i'm literally the dumbest person on earth uh no i love doing the dishes i was just please don't even do them i i'm gonna hate you if you do them you know and just like that's how we treat it back and forth that's how i've seen her ones where she's like talking to her boyfriend who's like yeah almost friday guys yeah yeah yeah it's so good and oh you know just like her character yeah that she does is so funny so when i think in the ghostwriters facebook group just yesterday put up something about like my irasci strong opinion is when girls call other girls mama and she at

least has a whole video about this she'll say like, I forget what the title is, but just like bloggers talking to bloggers. And it's like, okay, mama. It's like the comment section of bloggers. You got this, mama. Yes. Somebody cooked up a meal tonight, mama. You got this, mama.

You got this, mama. Hugs for you, mama. Yep. That's a rock star mama the way she says it i can imagine that's perfect uh time you got any quirks um my van my minivan that i drive apparently has a quirk oh so i'm you have a name for the minivan i don't okay what not very what's his name uh it's it's cherry red oh cherry red dr pepper dr dr dunner dr clefford dr clefford but clefford clefford dr clefford yeah dr cleff so dr clefford dc uh after we after the chief's parade yesterday i was um i stopped a quick trip real quick i pull

in i'm like my like the van is idling it's I haven't turned it off yet this guy comes up knocks on my window first of all I'm like I'm sketched out by this this is a weird thing

to have happen I like roll it down another funny thing that I realized was like funny after I roll it down like a little more than halfway first then like as he's talking

I'm like I like slowly roll it up a little roll it up back up just like a little bit I'm like still just like a little suspicious so just like you rolled it up on make it quick make it like a little like a little like a couple more like little jerks up i don't know why i did it but like so i what what does he think this guy i'm just like i'm like yeah anyway so he's like he's like i hate to i hate to be the one to tell you bad news but like

this this like sound your car's making it means like something's broke he like told me what it was i wrote it down in my notes like something's broken but the thing is i he's like this like this ticking clicking noise as it's like idling but this is my van has always sounded like this so either either he doesn't know as much as he thinks he does, or the band's always been broken and it's not important because it's been working this whole time. It's like dying a slow death, but you're like, that's fine. I understand what's going on with the band.

I just thought it was such a normal idling sound. I don't know. Just like whatever. I don't know. You just got an ear for it. Some of those guys have that. Yeah. So Quirk of the Week is your... Dr. Clefford has a quirk. Bummer. Just like whatever. I don't know. He's got an ear for it. Some of those guys have that. Yeah. So quirk of the week is your vis.

Dr. Clefford has a quirk. Yeah. That's nice. I love Gunner did the same thing to a parking lot attendant. We were trying to find a spot for the Bargetti concert. He rolled down the window and this person started saying something and they weren't even done saying it,

but they were just saying like, yeah, you have to pay to park here. As he's like, explain to it, Gunner rolls the window back up and Emily was like, Gunner, you can't do that. You need to wait.

If you don't Gunner, that's just Gunner. Yeah. Okay. You know, I heard I needed to hear cost money. Okay. What about animal of the week? Animal of the week. My animal of the week is timing. Guy's just been an animal this week.

Between the horse jingle last week. Great job. Everybody loves it. The amount of Facebook posts. It was wild. The engagement that we got on that. Yeah. It really was.

My brother-in-law wants it. Sam. Shout out to Sam. Austin Pickleball. New friend. He wants to put it on. He thinks we should put it on Spotify. I bet people will listen.

Fun. Yeah. Do it. I'd love to learn. Yeah. I don't know how to do that. Not only that, but Tyman spent all morning

with us yesterday, filming. Animal. With us today, podcasting, and Tyman and I will get to see each other tomorrow because we're shooting

several hours with the Friday pickleball content animal. I know what week is timing for working hard for us. Love it. Yeah. Glad to be your animal. No problem. I have two animals. Yesterday,

Bo and I went to get some flowers for our ladies at the flower store down the road. Nice. Kind of by the McLean's. And there are two parrots in there. Fun fact. So go there, check out some parrots.

Oh, parrots. Parrots. Cool. You think I said parents? Yeah. Just a couple of just new, like just happily wed people in there.

All right. Nope. Yeah. There's Harley and Bentley in there and Bo loved it. He was really pumped about it. Yeah. And then the second animal I have of the week is Isaiah Pacheco, chief star running back,

held a goat in his hand at the parade yesterday. That was awesome. Walking around with it. He was wearing my home jersey too. Yeah. So that's greatest of all time for you that don't understand. I'm a G-O-A-T, goat. I love that he had a live goat.

Pretty fun. That's awesome. Yeah. Time? My animal of the week is pandas. But specifically, pandas, if you see them without the black spots over their eyes. Oh, let's Google this. So I don't think they actually happen ever like that, but people have Photoshopped it,

and they're a lot less cute. Oh. Beady little eyes because you just think about you subconsciously think that those are just their eyes and they're like oh such cute adorable big eyes but yeah well they're so small they are so much cuter with the black so oh wow thanks for sharing this with us diamond animal to ruin of the week that's funny one of the first i looked at pandas without black spots, and like the fourth image is a meme of Zooey Deschanel.

It looks like with makeup versus without. And like your beautiful, you know, bashful eyes. And then one, I don't know, she's got to have makeup on. Whatever, but her eyes look so tiny. That's really funny. Wow, Tyvin. Huh. That's like, yeah. It's pretty weird. Oh, I see it now. Yeah, it's Zooey so tiny. That's really funny. Wow, Tyvin. Huh. That's like, yeah.

It's pretty weird. Oh, I see it now. Yeah, it's Zoe without bangs. That's funny. Without bangs. Yeah, you also ruined wet sloths for us, so. Or the bears without fur. Remember that?

I don't want to look that one up again. Did you ever see that one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one was like disturbing. Oh, there's a panda without fur on this same search. I don't know if I want to see it. Command W, not W command. Getting out of there.

Animal of the Week. All right. A few more here. We got Babe of the Week. Babe of the Week. Mine is going to be a woman who, when I got back yesterday from the Chiefs Parade, I immediately started editing. I'd been editing for two hours.

She then gets home and says, hey, we don't have to do anything for Valentine's Day. I want to make sure you have a good video. I was like, it's our first year of marriage. We're doing something for Valentine's Day. We can't give up on it right away. I know we'll give up on it eventually, but we can't give up on it right away. So it was very nice for her to offer that. I was like, no, we are going outentine's day um let's do something fun so turns out she is my new wife her name is rachel coop triplet thank you guys thank you animals um so yeah we went out

did a little date something i had this idea like a year or two ago but the theme is just things we would never do so we were going to try to go to a brewery rachel was going to order like a rack of ribs i was going to get a nice stout beer yeah um this well the brewery went to on their instagram they had ribs okay so we're like oh let's go yeah um turns out they don't even have food which brewery friction beer downtown shawnee oh yeah yeah instagram ribs no no food where are the ribs yeah they said oh we don't have a Friction Beer. Downtown Shawnee. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Instagram. Ribs. Store. No food. Where are the ribs?

Yeah, they said, oh, we don't have a... This is interesting. They had a thing on the table that had QR codes on it. Like, we're going to scan this for the menu. But then the three menus were like Old Shawnee Pizza, McLean's, and then a different restaurant. None of these were for the restaurant we were in. It was just like a Downtown Shawnee. Let's all share menus. What? I went to scan it. I was like, none of these are Friction Beer. It in it was just like a downtown shawnee let's all share menus what i went to scan it i was like none of these are friction beer it feels cheap enough to have a website you don't have to share a website you know like we can have your own menus for

different websites yeah that's odd yeah weird it's different qr codes okay and it's like do you guys have food like no just snacks like what snacks you guys have and they said well it normally just comes with a beer it's uh what they say, pub mix. Just like little crackers and stuff. I didn't want to know what pub mix was. Also, do you know how many breweries are in downtown Shawnee? Like four or five. Four or five?

Yeah. Too many to support the amount of people here. It's wild. Dumb idea. Well, Saturday night though, it's bumping. Do we have this many people loving breweries in Shawnee? Well, people come from all over. It's crazy just shocking to me uh that one drastic measures is not even a brewery but it's like like it was like a semi-finalist in james beard which is like a

really prestigious ranking system i was impressed by the amount of breweries and a tiny little spot it's it's the it's the brewery capital of k City. I don't know if that's true. It sounds good. Yeah, so what'd you think of the brewery? Oh, we left immediately and went to... Oh, you didn't even get a drink? No, we wanted food. Yeah. So then the date kind of started to fall apart a little bit. We walked all the way to, what's that

Mexican place? Kind of by Flying Cow. Al... Oh, yeah. I've never been there. Al Pacino. Something like that. Taco... Yeah, whatever. Smelled like a toilet in there. cow al al oh yeah i've never been al pacino something like that taco yeah whatever um smelled like a toilet in there and i'm not even exaggerating it was like how did they mimic a toilet so well this is interesting it's mexican food poopy toilet yes yeah yeah like porta potty smelled like a porta potty in there it was gross that's horrible yeah it was wild it was just like this is exactly a restaurant i mean you're doing what you wanted to do in the date which was do stuff that you would never never do we sat there in the menu

it was like this just sounds negative now but it was like the the pictures they took of their food it was like don't show people this i feel like that's kind of a common thing for mexican restaurants yeah it's like i've noticed that too pixelated and like sometimes i think it means it's a good restaurant, though. Maybe it is. Maybe it's very authentic that way. It feels like a lot of the Chinese places you go to. They don't have good pictures. What is that?

You took that on a digital camera from 2002, but I bet it tastes delicious. Yeah, it would just be dark and almost like this wasn't how you served it. It was like after someone took a few bites and mixed it around. It was just like brown sauce. Where is the shrimp in this?

A lot of seafood on the menu. And so we didn't eat much there. Got a margarita. Yeah, you did. And then went axe throwing. Axe throwing was ridiculous. How are they still in business? It's crazy.

Is it just not enjoyable? You throw the axe like five times and you're like, all right. Yeah. Yeah, that's about what it should be like. got it i got a bullseye i can't like really get better from here i've already like variations or anything yeah yeah there's not much else to do that's uh i'll tell you another reason i'm shocked you're in business is because i'm getting done with the shower i'm like running around and in my head i almost feel bad i'm like i don't want to have rachel to, but it'll, it's like two minutes. I'm like, Rachel, do you mind calling the

accent place? See if we can pick a 30 minute thing. Cause online it was only an hour. And she calls and like, yes, we do do 30 minutes. Uh, just gonna need to take down some info from you. So like, what's your name? Rachel. Okay. Last name. Okay. Email. Okay. Address. Rachel's like, okay. Start saying the address. She says the whole thing. She's like, sorry, did I lose you? Oh, no. Okay. Can you spell that? Spells it again. Sorry, I think I'm losing you. Spell the whole address again. Zip code. Got it. Now, make sure you bring your ID and closed-toed shoes. Also, we're ready to have you pay right now. Can you read off your credit card number over the phone?

Okay. Expiration date. Wow. CBC. I mean, this was such a long phone call just to go do axe throwing when we didn't even need a reservation. I was like, this, you've got to improve the customer experience if you're axe throwing. This is brutal.

Do you think it's because they have to have waivers because it's axe throwing? It's dangerous or something? We signed a waiver once we got there. So they didn't need all that information before. I don't know why they need all that information, but yeah, I felt bad. I was like, oh, sorry, Rachel. It's dangerous or something. We signed a waiver once we got there. So they didn't need all that information before. I don't know why they need all that information. But yeah, I felt bad. I was like, oh, sorry, Rachel. Tell us about the 30-second conversation.

And she's on there. M. Yeah, you hear her. She's like, Gemini. Why does that matter? I don't know. What's my mother's maiden name? Yeah, it's TSA.

Yeah, so axe throwing was funny. funny yeah it's just nobody really in there a guy would not sorry i'm talking a lot about this but guy would not like he like showed he was the ax master he writes his name on the wall i'll be your guy's ax master and he like shows us the safety rules like you know make sure you don't go up another person's throwing uh i recommend throwing from out here all right guys have have at it's like okay thanks and we throw a few throws he's like you guys gonna hang about like yeah we feel good he's like great and this guy keeps standing there it's like okay we feel like we can't really like joke around like we would he's like standing right

there and the dude he just stands there all the time like oh six points yeah yeah then someone else no mmm four points it's just like they're just like in the background. The axe master just wanted to be part of the date. Yeah, he was. I got a video of him being there, and then I felt bad. I was like, I'm not going to post this to my story. But he was just like, just like nodding at Rachel while she's throwing.

It's like that episode where Dwight works at Staples. I will literally be standing right here. You need anything? Nope. Great. I'll literally be standing here if you need anything at all. I'm picturing this axe throwing place. There's no music playing.

This is what I'm picturing. No music playing. It's like, it's so quiet. It kind of echoes when people talk. You walk in, there's no one else in there. And I'm picturing it's just you two and this axe master. Yeah, how busy was it? There was one other, no, there was a couple other lanes being used.

It was, oh, it was glow night forgot to mention this it was glow throw or whatever they called it glow glow throw glow throw something like that so from 6 to 8 p.m on certain wednesdays it's glow night we didn't get a glow lane though we just got normal so and not even lanes you think you were there were? There were, I think, 12. Okay. I think three were being used. How much does it cost for 30 minutes? $25 for two of us.

Really? Yeah. Well, that's how they're staying in business. That seems like a lot of money for 30 minutes of axe towing. That's true. Yeah, an hour would have been $60. How much does axe cost, you know? Dude. How much does wood cost?

Yeah. These axes are disgusting. They bought them once six years ago and have not changed the axe this guy axe master is coming over now this you're gonna love this one he's holding it to me like it's like uh i don't know the first american flag here you go take this you're gonna love this one yeah he like lays it on you it's a medium medium weight it's good for one arm throws did you see did he show off that he was the axe master? Cause I wouldn't buy it until I saw him do a couple of bulls. You're right.

I don't know if we saw bulls. He like told us how I don't want to hear it. Then I need to see. I don't know if he ever threw one. He like shows. Now I put my hand here. I put my grip here. I don't know if he ever threw one.

Cause he throws one. You can't call yourself the ax master. You throw one. That's like even like remotely, like on the outer edge, that guy's getting that title revoked quick. I bet he's good though. Doesn't it feel like one of those jobs

where the people work there for years, like someone who works at a laser tag is probably just going to be good at laser tag. People work at a go-kart place. Those laser tag guys, we were like cheating or something every time. Yeah, it is bogus. It was like,

okay, we got one of those guys on our team all of a sudden oh man we lost 17 000 to 18 000 how many points do you get 500 how many you get 300 how much wait that guy got 14 000 points yeah he's a tag master laser tag does sound fun yeah laser tag feels like one of those things that the trend's gonna come back i like it because a lot of them shut down but it's like those things are so fun yeah and it can't be that expensive let's do it a couple lasers a couple lasers a couple fog machines did they have food or anything at Axe throwing? Oh, that was the other thing. Over the phone, they told Rachel it's BYOB and BYOF. Okay.

Food, I guess. A.K.A. our cook and our bartender are on dates tonight. They didn't have any kind of, it's never available. Oh, it always is. Yeah. Okay. So I really wonder how they're staying in business. Sounds like low overhead.

Yeah, I guess you'd think the margins on food and alcohol would be amazing, though. Maybe they don't want to low overhead. Yeah, I guess it. You'd think the margins on food and alcohol would be amazing, though. Maybe they don't want to blend alcohol. No, you bring it in. Whatever. I've spent way too long in my Bay with a Week. What is yours? My Bay with a Week is Catherine Ellis. She's my wife. Turns out she's my wife. I can't even think of specific things that she's done.

She's just incredible always. Honestly, just we've... It's been a non-traditional week, both with sickness and with the fact that we don't have a car still we're getting, we gotta go at some point. Um, and I mean, she has reasons to complain and she's not complaining and I'm, I'm not even trying to act like she never complained. She complains sometimes and she's had a great attitude. Like she's just been awesome. She'd been incredible and really supportive, really upbeat and patient with the kids. And yeah, just overall, just really wonderful.

Really proud to be her husband. Yeah, we didn't do much for Valentine's Day yesterday. We never really have. I think one of the first years she was on like a girl's trip that time. And then maybe another time, like some of her friends were in town. It's like, why are your friends always like they're married? Uh, I remember one time we got like a heart shaped pizza with her friends, you know, whatever, but like Valentine's day has never been a huge deal for us. And I kind of like it that way, but I think we just still, I don't know.

I also just love talking to her. Like last night, it was one of those classic times where it was like, I was in bed, ready to go to bed. And she just like sat next to me in bed and talked to me for like 45 minutes, even though it was like, I thought you were going to talk to me for five. It was like, Oh, we just had a great conversation. So,

um, just, she's awesome. She's really intentional. She's, she's done like a Valentine's, uh, themed curriculum and devotional with our kids.

And I don't know, she's just really awesome as a mom and as a wife. And so she's my baby of the week. Catherine us. Cool. Yes. Time. You got one.

My baby of the week is Harriet Tubman. Ooh. She saved a lot of slaves and pretty impressive. Nice. Have you, have you seen the movie up your area? I haven't. It's,

it's pretty good. It's like for what it could have been. I feel like it's a little underwhelming, but the acting's good. There's some good music. Did you know that Kansas City is part of the Underground Railroad? There's like... It's underground.

Kansas City, Kansas. There's parts of it that you can go to and see. Wow, that's really cool. Good babe. Thanks. I used to be real into harriet tubman not like that like i would just like i thought she was so interesting interviewer i would think like if i could interview harriet tubman right now what would i say to her um she's called a tub man so she'd probably want to be interviewed in the bathroom in the bath oh yeah man That's cool. Yeah. Yeah. Good for you. Good babe. Thanks. February. No less.

Love it. Uh, okay. Um, let's, uh, finish it off with our poultry of the week. Yeah. Great. Um, poultry of the week is provided to you, brought to you by good ranchers. They have poultry. They have poultry. Uh, if you didn't know, they have better than organic chicken. Uh, we've talked about good Rangers, literally every episode for the last, however many episodes. Um, but what I need to emphasize, I think more and more is just the quality of the meat that they provide and the quality of the meat that you're not getting from other places, AKA the grocery store, AKA, even if you're buying the highest graded stuff, other places, it's just not as good as good ranchers. So,ers so goodrangers.com is where you can buy this one-of-a-kind high quality meat from good american farms that employ good american farmers

so if you're already eating meat i mean this is truly a way to save money eating it because obviously it's going to taste better but good ranchers makes it pretty easy to buy meat and bulk i'd be shocked if a lot of people out there are buying their meat in the bulk that Good Ranchers offers for you. So it's a way to save money that way. Also, our discount code is going to give you additional discounts. That's how it works. Yes.

So consider switching how you buy meat and get some Good Ranchers because it is very, very good. Very, very good. They just recently came out with a surf and turf box, which is fun. That's the half Jake, half Brad box, basically. It's half steak, half seafood. And yeah, we could, we could devour that. I could house those steaks.

You could house that seafood. Like a four foot shark. Yeah, that's right. So goodrangers.com promo code GRKC for a discount at checkout. You guys know them. You guys love them, but please support them. like they've supported us because you will love it. They've officially decided and agreed to provide all the meat for the Gulf Shores getaway. Gulf Shores getaway in Gulf Shores.

Nice. So imagine, I mean, it's already going to be vibes enough in Gulf Shores. But with the greatest quality meat you can imagine. Meat vibes. And an amazing chef in Chef Brooks. It's going to be off the hizzy. Can I say in Chef Brooks. It's going to be off the hizzy. Can I say that? Yeah.

It's going to be off the hizzy. Hizzy. GoodRangers.com. I was going to say Gulf Shores. GoodRangers.com. Promo code GRKC. Poultry of the week. This is bad poultry now.

That's good poultry from Good Rancher. Now it's bad. Bad poultry. I'll start. Gen Z, love you. I truly do have a lot of good beliefs in Gen Z. I think there's going to be a lot of good things that happened from their generation. They seem like they're more confident than the rest of the generations. And I hope that, um, they use that confidence spiritually to benefit the kingdom.

Um, that being said, they got to start capitalizing their texts. They intentionally turn off capitalization for their texts. And it bothers the heck out of me. And I asked Tymon about this and Tymon's like, and so, so I was like Tymon. So, so Tymon a couple of weeks ago sent me a text from one of his friends.

Shout out Gabby. Yes. Shout out Gabby. Um, Gabby had thoughts about classical conversations, wanted to give them to me. Shout out, Gabby. Yes. Shout out, Gabby. Gabby had thoughts about classical conversations, wanted to give them to me. Thank you, Gabby. Hard to take you seriously, Gabby,

when you capitalize zero things in a text. I'm sure you're a very smart girl, but classical conversations, I guarantee you're supposed to capitalize your text. So then I brought this issue to Tymon, and Tymon, I would like for you to explain to Jake what you said. Okay. I think this is to time and time and I would like to for you to explain to Jake what you said okay I think this is what I said I I think I told Brad I was like I I stand I think I stand pretty

firm I like try to capitalize amongst the non-capitalizers because you said like it is a thing it's totally a thing oh yeah and I feel like it's just like a very a lot of just like teen gen z girls it tends to be girls more than boys um and then but i did i think so what i do is i make an even more conscious effort to not cap to capitalize so i i have caps turned off but i just capitalize man psycho that's a psycho right there that's a gen z psycho like why like i think here's my thing i i kind of like i don't know i don't know man honestly i mean i probably am just a psycho when i really think about it something's up yeah i don't know why exactly i do that i think it is just like partly to be like, I am just like consciously going against it.

Yeah. But also I don't really mind whenever I do like, cause occasionally I will, I won't, I won't capitalize occasionally. I'm just like tending it quick and then I don't care. Yeah. So I don't know. Are you a chameleon? Like, will you text your Gen Z friends and not capitalize and then text Jake and Brad and capitalize? No, typically everyone I capitalize, but I do tend to be a chameleon in like just texting tone, like unintentionally. Sure. Yeah. But I mean, probably most people would like adapt to whoever they're texting, but yeah, I go against the grain as much as possible. I'm going to start appreciating whenever you capitalize words to me texting now. Like, wow, you put some effort into this.

It's not like on a computer where you're just shifting and pressing it. It's the same thing. But you have to press... I was going to say, you have to press two buttons. It's so quick. It's so quick. I don't like that iMessage on the computer doesn't capitalize things for you. It doesn't? It won't auto-correct it? It won't correct i, lowercase i.

That is frustrating. Obviously, you know your iMessage. You know how English works. Obviously, you know your iMessage. You know how English works. Is it capitalized in iMessage? Dang it, you're right. That's why they do it. They want you to remember that. Brand.

It's free advertising. All right, that's my poultry. Great. My poultry is people with guns. Now, not only the people at the parade that's awful but my friend austin who's i believe you know him play a little basketball with him his back windshield got shot the night of the super bowl because people were shooting bullets into the air a bullet came back down and hit his car windshield what he's got a video of it on his like ring

doorbell or whatever isn't that crazy whoa yeah because i think we've talked about this on the podcast we're like what happens when you just shoot this stuff does it come down i don't know yeah just the video is wild just it's a perfectly calm normal night and then you just see something like fall and just like yeah he found a bullet in his, you know, back dash or whatever. It wasn't the guy across the street. It was the guy five blocks down. Who knows? Maybe, yeah.

Because you said it's a perfectly normal night and then out of nowhere it just pops. Yeah, there was no noise or anything happening. So, yeah, I'd love to know more about the physics of how that happens. But, yeah, just dumb. Just shooting bullets into the air to celebrate. Why don't you try a high five what about a boy howdy how about yippee yes all those things try

one of those yeah um so yeah that's my poultry bummer for austin yeah that is too bad that's because obviously if it's if it's breaking a windshield, it would... It's on its way down. Well, and it would also very much hurt somebody. Oh, yeah, that's right. That would hit a human. Right. That's just, you know, whatever.

That's too bad. Time you got some poultry. Not really. All right. Had a pretty positive week, I guess. Good ranchers. Good. Okay, let's move on then, yeah?

We got some reviews? Yeah. Review of the week. Good. Okay. Let's move on then. Yeah. We got some reviews. Yeah. Review the thing. Hey. Yeah. My reviews coming from Minnesota mom, 21, the ultimate family conversation starter.

If I mentioned epidurals, will I get mentioned on the podcast twice too? It says it's pretty good, but really we're so thankful for this podcast as it's the only one, both my husband and I both enjoy listening to at our different jobs. Our son at the supper table one night even asked, did you listen to Ghost Runners?

Because he's come to know this as a common conversation starter in our marriage. The topics about family, sports, faith, travel are so engaging, clean, and hilarious. We have a trip to Austin

planned for March and planned on binge listening to old episodes while searching for LeBron's pickleball court. Yeah, head on to school when we get to Austin. Hallowed ground. Thanks, guys.

Minnesota Mom 21. Thank you, Minnesota Mom. Go ahead and give your review that's the same one. Okay. Mine's from Minnesota Ma... This is from McGrizzy. Gentlemen, I've been a huge fan since I found your pod as a stress reliever

while writing my master's thesis a year ago. Okay. I've gotten to see Jake bring the found your pod as a stress reliever while writing my master's thesis a year ago. Okay. I've gotten to see Jake bring the house down at a comedy show in Florida. And just this past Monday, it all paid off big time. While my wife and I were at a Catholic young adult group in D.C., we met this girl from Iowa. Well, being that she's the only Iowan I've ever met, I, of course, asked if she knew anyone with the last name Coop. She goes, I know a Rachel Coop. No way. What?

As it turns out, this girl played volleyball against Rachel in middle slash high school. And after fumbling over an explanation as to how I know of Rachel through her eyes with Jake on the Ghostwriters podcast, we now have a new married couple friend. So Jake, Brad, Tymon, thank you. Love you guys.

And lastly, thanks for adding the word... Sorry. It's doing that thing where every apostrophe is the ampersand hashtag 34 semicolon. So we got to come back to back. The word fun. Thanks for adding the word fun to my vernacular. I think that's

it. For making me infinitely more interesting in my ministry because of your games and random stories. And for making me a better husband because doing the dishes while listening is now one of my favorite activities. Praying for you guys. Oh, sorry for the middle school Apple ID nickname. My name is Sean.

I don't know. I only know of her post-college, so I don't know what she was up to back in the day. If you played volleyball, you know Rachel Coon. Maybe. If you were a setter in Iowa, you're like, oh, yeah. Everybody looked up to Rachel. Yeah.

Maybe. Or there's just seven people in Iowa. Could be a numbers thing. Yeah. Maybe. Or there's just like seven people in Iowa. Could be a numbers thing. Yeah. That's fun. All right. Thanks, Magriz. Brad, would you like to end this episode with a jingle?
