Jake, would you ever want to be a hearse driver? You know, I thought about it when we were, not professionally, but when we took the limo across the country, we looked into a hearse. Really? Yeah, I thought that'd be funny. Just like have a bed back there or something? Yeah. But then we're like, I don't know. Like if you're going to go big car, limo's a lot more fun. Yeah.

It's got a better reputation than the hearse. People are more excited to honk for a limo. Yeah. You can't, yeah, you can't like sell out your hood to a reputation than the hearse. People are more excited to honk for a limo. Yeah. You can't, yeah, you can't like sell out your hood to a sponsor on a hearse. That feels wrong. Like is this guy branding his funeral? I just, every time I see a hearse and like, I'm like, somebody has to drive that thing. And just on the off chance, what if there's just one time.

You hear a little. Just a little, just, just a, you take a bump a little too hard. You see it kind of fly up and you're like, that was, that was just because of the bump, right? Yeah. You hear like a knock or like a, that wasn't that I'm hearing things. You know how, like when you're home alone, sometimes you hear things. The house, one of my phony phrases when we did that segment was, yeah, it's not house ain't creaky in the daytime or something like that. Yeah. So, yeah, it would be like that. Like, I would need...

Limos Creek quieter than hearses. Yeah. Somebody better call Shotgun if I'm driving the hearse. Hold on. That's like... I meant like someone needs to be with me. That's perfect. Yeah. That's perfect. Yeah, that's all we need.

Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in white. Me too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet because it's the Ghost Rubs Podcast.

Everybody morning, we're taking round. Ghost Rubs Podcast. Go for a podcast. It's like having a co-pilot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It just helps. Yeah. Happy Monday, Ghosties. Welcome to the best podcast. Chiefs are still Super Bowl champss in case anybody forgot. Chiefs are

Super Bowl champs. Kansas City is still a great place to live if you want to move here. Yeah, Kansas side. Kansas side. And I'm addicted to Instagram Live. Tommy, do you know about this new feature that Instagram just came out with? Instagram's doing this crazy thing, dude.

They just now started letting people live stream. So you can do this thing where you're live streaming. So live streaming. So streaming is like on the internet. It's actually, I try to explain it to my kids. Sometimes I'm in a hand down. He'll answer questions when it's over.

It's really hard to explain the internet to your children. First of all, let me like, cause Bo's like, where, how do you, you can play the same story that mom can play on her phone, but you have it on your phone.

I'm like, yeah, it's on the internet. What's the internet? I don't know, man. It's just something cool. Worldwide spider web. Spider web. Charlotte's web. Anyway, Tymon, there's this thing where you just put your... You can do it on the front of your camera or you can make it to where you're showing

what's on the back of your camera. Your camera or your phone? Dude, that's the thing. Phones have of your camera, your camera, your phone. What? Dude, that's the thing. Phones have cameras. It's a camera phone. Oh,

okay. Yeah. It's a camera phone. Questions at the end. Questions at the end. And raise your hand next time. So yeah, you just,

you just put up your phone. You press one button, one button, boom. All of a sudden you are live. And the reason they call it live is because it's happening live. Right? That's how I understand it.

And you can just talk to your phone, and other people can watch you talk to your phone and comment. Live. And by golly time, is it addicting. I got out of the shower last night, and Rachel was like, Brad's live right now. I'm like, oh my God. Of course he is.

His fourth time today. Oh yeah. Why not? You know, I was kegging some cold brew. Why not? So there was every once in a while I would have to like shake the cold brew. And so I was just shaking back and forth and I would see people like join right as I'm just shaking back and forth

and I'm like, I bet they're just like, what did I just get myself into here? It's fun that no matter if we go live from the ghost runners podcast, Instagram with 6,000 followers or G towards comedy, 150,000 followers, we have about a hundred people watching no matter what the same hundred people, I'm guessing they're just like, yeah, I'm not doing anything. They're right on there right away, which is awesome. So yeah, usually mid live stream, I'll get a couple of texts or like right afterwards, like, dude, you have to live stream more. So people are liking it. Oh, cool. That's yeah. It's fun. It's fun to do. And it's, it's normally it's like,

Hey, I'm, I'm already kind of like not, not needing to kill time, but kind of, you know, like the other yesterday we did one for like five minutes and then we did one while we were driving. I did one, try to think what my fourth live was. It's hard to remember them all. Yeah. What was your first one yesterday? What did you start off with? Oh, no, no. The first one was with you. Then I did one where I was waiting for Bo in line.

Waiting for Mother's Day out. Yeah, so, yeah, why not, you know? Let them watch. Let them watch. Let them stream. Let them stream. Yeah, we live streamed on the way to go play some pickup basketball last night. You want to talk about that?

Sure. The live stream or the pickup basketball? The pickup basketball. Pickup basketball was at Hy-Vee Arena where, you know, the storied venue where we did our basketball game. This was PT, pre-Timon. Pre-Timon. Timon, have you heard about the basketball game?

Do you know about it? Like the one where everyone came? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Some about it, yeah. Okay. That's basically it. Everyone came. He's like the one where everyone came? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Something about it. Yeah. Okay. That's basically it. Cool, cool, cool. Everyone came. He's like the rec game where like some people showed up?

Yes, that's the one. Yeah, it was really cool. And we lost. People were there. It's still wild that we lost that game. Biggest regret in life, maybe. Those guys almost quit. They didn't want to play.

Remember that? They were like, we're going to get embarrassed by you guys. We're like, come on. Look at all these people. We have all these people that came just play. They're like, fine. And they beat us. They beat us. I too. I blame Isaac, Isaac and Jordan. It wasn't our fault. We did all that we could. We're only human. Um, so yeah, we played the second year in a row that we've done this, where we've played this high school, uh, private school, Whitfield Academy, Whitfield,field uh because jake knows nolan uh one of the head coach of the team right yeah from

sbu yeah is that the connection yep and so yeah went last year and played and yeah again this year and it was fun. We got, I think I was somewhat excited because I was like, Hey, I've been running a mile a day. Let's see how the cardio is. It is different, dude. It did not. Oh, it's way different. It didn't help that much. It didn't help that much. It was a different kind of conditioning. Yeah. So I was pretty tired the whole time. We were about 10 minutes into playing and I realized like man i'm really out of breath and then i realized you know why because brad and i have not shut up for the entire first 10 minutes i just think i was just why it's sorry to keep your mouth shut playing sports we're just making fun we're having so much fun so yeah so this is

like the end of their season right end of year tournament this saturday against and the team they're playing is cornerstone academy cornerstone whatever yeah and so you know like nolan's like hey we're gonna play a 3-2 zone because that's what cornerstone plays and so it's like trash defense we're we're yeah we have no idea what we're doing on three yeah we i don't know if we gave them a good look at all but brad and i really became method actors once he said you are the other team yeah you are cornerstone brad and me he's like what's the other team. Yeah, you are Cornerstone. Brad and me, he was like, what's the other team? He's like, Cornerstone. Let's go, Seastone!

Yeah, it's in a defense. Seastone! Seastone! We would do that every time we were on defense. We would be like, at one point, we were losing like 14 to eight. And I was like,

guys, it's not over yet. Believe, Cornerstone. Believe. Come on, Knights. I don't know what their mascot is, but it sounds good. To be honest, never got that many laughs out of the other guys. But we stayed faithful.

Very little interaction. We stayed faithful in character. And we kept, before the game even started, Nolan tells us, hey, you're going to be on the team. And they run a 3-2 zone. And then we're like, anything else we know about their team? Like, how's their point guard play? Brad's like, what did you ask Nolan?

I said, do they have an overweight guy that could shoot threes and not much else like a little butterball he goes actually they kind of do yeah i was like great oh and i think i said in his mid-30s or something like yeah like an older an older guy on their team um and so brad did brad lit it up and it was so funny. Brad just made everything. You made six for six. Yeah. Start off. I was six for seven, but six.

Didn't you make your first six though? No, I think I missed. I think I made four in a row. And then I, okay, there was one. So the guy that was guarding me is Frank feet,

seven, like just a tall dude, but just was kind of like, he's, he's like, I'm not used to my, the guy I'm guarding shooting threes. Yeah.

Hand down, man down. Yeah. There was one time where finally after four in a row, he guarded me and I was like, I'm not used to my, the guy I'm guarding shooting threes. Yeah, hand down, man down. Yeah, there was one time where finally, after four in a row, he guarded me, and I was like, I'm going to shoot it anyway. I'm hot. So missed that one. But yeah, I think it went six for seven to start out.

It was so funny. It was Frank. I was like, Frank, what are you doing? Frank, you got to learn. Get a hand up, Frank. Yeah, it's like either Nolan told them not to have fun, or they were just genuinely annoyed with us because they didn't interact very well at all

yeah you could play against two comedians who are like turning it up a notch like it was definitely more comedy than basketball being done here and they did not care we learned that one dude like he looked like a little freshman his name was they called him Stavi was it I thought it was Stavi it was uh was it

go ahead yeah I feel like it wasn't stav but anyway once we learned his name you know once you learn someone's name then we just kept having you know just like oh stavi never yeah you ever seen a shot he doesn't like seriously he kind of laughed a few times but like yeah this kid was a short little like not short but yeah definitely a young kid and we were joking around with them yeah it, it was a good time. We ended up winning by one, kind of. Cornerstone, in the fifth quarter we did. Yeah, we lost in the fourth quarter, but then there was enough time for one more quarter.

Lost by one or two in the fourth quarter, but came back, had a good time. It was fun. They call a timeout with three seconds left, and they're down by one. And so we were like, should we like, how should we guard the inbounds? And we're like, you know what?

Let's let, it doesn't actually matter if we win. Let's let one of these kids be a hero. Be a hero, yeah. And so they made a wild inbounds pass. I mean, just like across the court, weak pass. Garrett Gibson and I both go up, kind of like when Tymon is signaling us we're doing the wrong thing. Just both go up and just like whiff

a basketball in the air. We both whiff it. It was crazy. And then another kid gets it, passes the air we both whiff it it was crazy and then another kid gets it passes it they have a wide open layup and then he misses it so the plan for to make a kid a hero we really made him the villain he's like dude devon oh my gosh dude yeah kind of like ricocheted weird and then this guy just caught the ball wide open under the basket and just missed it was was pretty unbelievable. But hey. Yeah, that was fun. We had a lot of fun.

Seastone. Seastone. Come on, Seastone. Hope they win this weekend. Apparently they've had a good season. Whitfield has. All right, Whitfield. So whatever we did last year,

you really sparked them up. They stirred something up in them. Do we want to play a game with Tymon? Yes. Brad was carrying out his podcast notes. Yeah, one of them just said, movie lines with Timon. I don't remember, you know,

however many episodes it was, but just realizing like Timon, maybe just School of Rock, not watching that. So I bet Timon doesn't know a lot of things that we know. So I gave him, yeah, one kind of quiz off the podcast.

You can't handle the blank. Timon nailed it. It's truth, if you can't handle the blank time and nailed it it's truth if you don't know um i asked him hasta la vista and he didn't know it okay so that's where we're at that's the litmus test yeah um timing the rules are you have to at least guess something okay and you only get seven seconds to guess something okay okay sounds good all right number something.

Fun, dude. Bring your best. I'm excited, Rindle. Excited to have you, man. Rindle. That have you man rindal that's awesome yeah so all right i want to hear about uh friday pickleball you guys you guys filmed some friday oh yeah dude i am so excited right now just so fired up on like just more traditional youtube type content what we would call long form content long form content i mean we were really excited

about it when we we gave it a try i think some people are listening to the podcast now because of like the one long form video we did the Christmas cookie taste test. Somebody asked me about it yesterday in my life. No way. Do we do more Christmas cookie taste? I was like, listen, here's the deal with them. We're not making any money off them. We actually lose money on those. I think it takes way longer to edit. Uh, so yeah, it's, uh, I really haven't done this. Like Brad and I've tried it a time or two obviously the parade videos are kind of that style kind of in a way but uh really haven't done this since my juggling josh days of like hey i'm going to consistently have an upload schedule

we're going to care about titles and thumbnails you know and like really play the youtube game okay and really excited about it and we're we're getting the best of the best to do it. So me, Scott and Isaac will be on camera, Friday paddles. We got a relationship. We signed a little deal with Chicken and Pickle to shoot inside of there. Really?

Yeah, on a weekly or just as needed basis. Nice. And then we got Mr. Tymon Imch, director of photography, shooting everything, you know, audioing everything. Yeah. These are technical terms. Audioing. Doing the audio. Nice. And shooting everything. So that looks top notch. And then we went out and got the, the guy who edits for good, good and GM golf, one of the

best editors in all of YouTube. I think his name is Ryder. He is going to be editing for us. Oh, wow. So, timing's not going to edit. Timing's just shooting. Yes, for now. Oh, fun. Okay. And so, yeah, we got our first draft of the video. And, I mean, I said it to Scott and Isaac, and we're like, the first 60 seconds alone,

Ryder is worth every penny. Really? It's so fun. I mean, he's not going to make us look like Mr. Beast, but, I mean, we're making pickleball videos. For what we're doing, I mean, we have all the talent to make it happen. I'm just so excited. So what did you guys film? So we shot three videos

last week. I went out and bought a radar gun because I looked online. I couldn't find anyone who had tested the speed of a pickleball hit to serve anything with a radar gun. I couldn't find that. I was like, oh my gosh, that seems like something people will be curious about. They might search for it. So and so yeah our first video which is out now

by the time you're listening this i think we're just gonna title it like how fast can you serve a pickleball nice little radar gun in the thumbnail and yeah we just had fun you know so it's like first we gotta make sure this radar gun works and so we had scott run and you know we were like throwing it around and just silly stuff and um yeah i did a couple different challenges and i told isaac to bring some like uh because're going to do a competition to see who could serve at the fastest. But I was like, you gotta, you know, let's have it be fun. And so Isaac went out and bought smelling salts. And so we all would like take hits of that and stuff and yeah, try to make it entertaining. And what'd you think of the smelling salts? Uh, never done that. It was like,

it was a very like acidic, like just, it just smelled like chemicals. I don't know. It's ammonia is what's in there. I think they normally use this to wake people up from sleeps. Or if you're a middle linebacker. Did not help your serve speed, we found in our testing. And it was great, dude, because Scott came in last. And he was just like, oh, how is this?

How? Really? I mean, Isaac came in first, right? know, he was just like, Oh, how is this? How? You know, really? I mean, Isaac came in first, right? Uh, Isaac and I tied for first. Really? Um, and then Scott came in last. Isaac is just so like naturally strong. It just feels like, so I just assume, and he's like, he's got longer arms. So I feel like he would think the physics would then again, when you're hitting a plastic ball, you know, maybe it's only so much, but either way. Uh, so yeah, that was our first video and that's so fun. And then we, I went out and bought one of those big, like colorful spinning wheels. And so we did a video with that. And Scott was actually at one point on the ground crying, laughing, which Scott loves to laugh in general, but yeah,

you would spin this wheel to see what your paddle was. And we brought everything. And, you know, we brought, I brought a half-baked harvest cookbook i brought a the dvd for chicken little the dvd case uh you know your shoe um a frying pan and anyway we got in this so isaac and i each spawned we were playing each other and he had just like a dinner plate and i had a fireplace shovel oh yeah if you. Yeah, like an ash shovel. Yeah, and that head-to-head battle was so funny. Just because the rally just we couldn't, it just kept going and going

and Isaac is like two-hand chest passing the ball and it doesn't look like I should be able to get to it, but that shovel is so long that I could reach it. You had some longevity there. It's like so long and it's like bending from like the weight of it. Oh, it's like so long and it's like bending from like the weight of it's like just like oh it's like flexing around yeah and it made the funniest sound when you'd

hit it and so anyway that it was just fun and i'm just excited like um to like make the investment because there's a little bit of a hard i think in hindsight we're gonna be like oh duh it's obvious that we should have put money into the content but but it's not the easiest thing to like decide that. I was like, do we want to like lose money to make good videos? Right. And ultimately I decided like, yeah,

let's do it. Yeah. See what happens. Like most decisions I've made in life. It's like, I don't want to have to wonder what if we had done it. So let's do it. And so yeah,

we'll see. So time. And how did you film it? Like, what was your, uh, yeah. What,

like, were you in the middle? I'm just curious. Yeah. What the best, I feel like pickleball is a really hard thing to film. It's very hard.

Unless you have like professional like angles and cameras and stuff. It's true. I think I made the mistake of not bringing a tripod to like also have Jake's camera set up. That would have been nice for like the gameplay part of it.

But like I just basically just like I'm just tracking everything as quickly as I can. Yeah. Yeah. And we didn't play any like doubles pickleball. That's where it's really hard to keep everything in frame we only did like skinny singles so you can kind of keep it easier but yeah um yeah I think next time we film we're gonna have uh one of Scott's other like professional pickleball friends come and do a bunch of like doubles type stuff like 4.0 versus 5.0 but they

have I want to try one version where they have a bigger kitchen and see how that affects it. I think that'd be interesting. And let's do another version where Isaac and I have less of a kitchen and we could be closer to that. See how that affects it. And then we'll do another one where we spin the wheel and the wheel decides your play style.

So you spin it, it lands on lobs only. So it's like, alright, the 5.0 is they only get to lob us. Can they beat us lobs only? Alright, the next point they spin it it lands on lobs only okay so it's like all right the 5.0 is they only get to lob us can they beat us lobs only all right the next point they spin it and it says like i don't know you're offhand or something like they have to use their left hand that's fun uh i saw some video pickleball the other day that was like five five oh versus a pro but the one of the pros is couldn't or wasn't good at volleying what does vo volleying mean versus like, I don't know. What does that mean to you?

Volleying is hitting the ball out of the air. Like it goes from paddle to paddle. So the kitchen is actually called the non-volley zone because you can't volley it in there. So just like literally like. Let the ball bounce. Yeah, okay. Because yeah, I was like, I don't understand.

This guy seems really good still. But yeah, he must have just always been hitting it off the bounce. But I don't think it was like he's not allowed to volley. I think it was like he's not good at it. And so he's at a disadvantage. Wait, the pro was not good at volleying it? It was weird. Yeah.

That's what it said. I'm sure it was probably just like a rule to make it fair. Like the pro can't volley it. He has to let it bounce. Maybe. I don't think it was, though. I think it was like I thought maybe the words were he wasn't good at volleying or he can't. Maybe it was he can't volley. So maybe it Maybe. I don't think it was, though. I think it was like, I thought maybe the words were, he wasn't good at volleying, or he can't, maybe it was he can't volley.

So maybe it was. I don't know. But yeah, I was like, I don't understand why this guy's doing this thing. Yeah, it's probably just to make it fair. I'm guessing if he's a pro pickleball player, he can hit his ball out of the air. He's pretty good at volleying, yeah. But yeah, so excited about that. Excited. I mean, there's not a lot of people

watching pickleball content on YouTube, so I think if this goes bonkers it gets 50 000 views you know that might be the ceiling but that's okay yeah it's about depth it's about depth that's fun you're doing more with them next wednesday we're shooting more yeah chicken pickles great they're awesome that's good dude great uh let's see what do i want to talk about jacob i don't know uh bo's been bo's been on his uh antics lately he's uh i mean he's been a good kid for the most part but he's got a flaw and it's called sneaking tootsie rolls oh really all over the i mean just woke up you know and he's already been up he he does this thing i mean he has a, he turns on every single light in the house when he wakes up, he like will go around, turn on every single light. So, you know, he's awake. And then we see the pantry is, uh, open.

Uh, and so we, he's eaten a few like candy bars in the pantry. And then the other day I'm walking around looking for Bo and I'm like, Bo, Bo. And he comes out like from behind, like a curtain that we have by our window. And he just like looks at me and I just look at him. I didn't say anything. He just goes, I wasn't doing anything bad. I'm like, okay. Yes, you were. What? Yeah. Like, and then you could tell he has like chocolate on his face. That's so good. I had two Tootsie rolls. I'm like, come on, man. You can't do that. You got to ask. Um, I got home last night and told Rachel, boy, he's getting to be a real fun age. I think the way he told me that he kept his undies dry. Yes, dude. That's, that's the big

win of the week, dude, is, uh, yeah. And it was, yeah, he, he slept in underwear for the first time ever on Monday. And it was kind of a big deal because Catherine was gone. She was with Hattie for her cheer practice. And so I put him to bed and I made the decision. I'm like, hey, you've been sleeping in this pull-up, not peeing in it for a while. Let's just do underwear. Yeah. And I was like, Bo, if you keep this dry, I'll give you something really special tomorrow.

And I was like planning on going and get him like a donut or something. And he's like, three chocolate chips. And I was like, sure. Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Three chocolate chips. And so he wakes up. He's like, dad, can I have my three chocolate chips

and a marshmallow? He's like, and a marshmallow? I was like, sure, buddy, you did it. He knew it was time to negotiate. But it did feel good. Cause Catherine came home and I was like big news in the night, both sleep and underwear. She's like, Oh, that stresses me out. What if he, uh, I guess he needs to have clean sheets anyway, so I can just change them. If he P I'm like, he's not going to come on, believe in it. So I, and I think like just in general, as a dad, I push my kids probably sometimes it's

like, I shouldn't have done that. Like, like for, uh, his mother's day out when I drop him off, he always brings with him like a huge, like, can you imagine like one of those bags you get from Ikea? Like, like a big old bag, not like a little, Oh yeah. Yeah. You know, like, like almost like reusable or something. He has one of those that has like his pillow and a stuffed animal and stuff for nap time.

And I'm always like, Bo, you got to carry that yourself. And he's like, drag, like, he's like, it's like the same body weight as him.

Like he's like dragging it. Um, but it felt good to like push my kid and be like, no, you're, you're going in underwear tonight. You have dry undies today for him to rise to the occasion. So,

um, yeah, he is a fun, fun age. He's, going in underwear tonight. You have dry undies today. And for him to rise to the occasion. So, yeah. He is a fun age. He's starting to really get mannerisms down and do more stuff and, yeah, just be funny. Anyway, but yeah. Sneaking some Tootsie Rolls. That's his vice right now. So we got to work on that.

But we'll get there. We'll get there. Fun. Yeah. Good for Bo. I think the first thing that's on my mind, it's not necessarily a funny story or anything, but Rachel and I, just the past two nights, have started watching Love on the Spectrum. You heard of this? Seen it?

I've never seen it. Me too. Never watched it. For some reason, we just turned it on. It's the best show on TV. I feel like people are always like, yeah, I cried at that show. It's so good.

Yeah, Rachel had tears in her eyes last night. i had tears right now really um yeah it's awesome yeah we've just like uh yeah i've watched two episodes and i've already bought uh merch from we're like we have to look up tanner on instagram like i love this kid and yeah looked him up and yeah he's got really cool merch and so i bought it last night like what is my bed uh just like some quotes he said on the show okay like you know up and yeah, he's got really cool merch. And so I bought it last night, like midnight in my bed. Just like some quotes he said on the show. Okay. Like, you know, they asked him if he's ever been in a relationship. And he said like, what's a relationship?

I forgot. And so they made like a shirt that says like, what's a relationship? I forgot. Nice. And his first date that he ever was on, he's, it's interesting. I feel like I'm learning a lot about people that are on the autism spectrum. You learn a lot watching the show. Almost universally,

they all love animals, which they do have a lot of childlike tendencies, and I think children like animals, so maybe it makes sense. How does the show work? They kind of profile, there's maybe six to eight different young

adults living with autism and they're all almost all of them have like never really been on dates are wanting to try and date and so and they each have like different quirks you know there's there's men there's women there's a guy who's like 35 there's a guy who's 23 and then there is a one couple they've already been dating. And so you just kind of get to see into each of their lives and what they're doing. And okay. So it's not like a game show, like love is blind or something. No, it's like reality. It's like a documentary. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. Okay. Yeah. I guess that'd be the, it's not, it's not like they're, they're dating this one people and Oh, that's not a good fit. So then

they go and date this other person on the show or something like that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's like they're all in their own, like one's in Atlanta, one's in LA, like just doing their thing. Okay. You know, on their own.

Sorry for interrupting. Go ahead. No, it's fine. Loves animals. Yeah, and so on his first date, he was just going berserk. Just like, it's amazing how quickly he can rattle off. Like he learns that the woman he's on a date with

also likes animals. Okay. And so he just goes to town he's like do you like crabs yes do you like tortoises yes do you like dolphins yes do you do you like baboons yes do you like gorillas just and it's like 25 animals it's just amazing and so that was one of the shirts too it's just like all of the questions he asked her like all the different animals are on a shirt um so yeah we just like they're all awesome but yeah we definitely gravitate towards a couple of the questions he asked her like all the different animals are on a shirt um so yeah we just like they're all awesome but yeah we definitely gravitate towards a couple of the guys on the show that we love and yeah i just can't wait to watch more of it it's amazing so is it i genuinely yeah i've never i've heard of this but i don't know anything about it uh do they date other autistic people or is it sometimes that or is it whatever that's not kind of a fun

game to play on the show is like do you like one you, like one of the guy, like he, it seems like, so we start on season two because it just came out. Like, I don't know. Let's watch season two. One of the guys on there, apparently he was on season one. Okay. So he's got a little bit of a following. Yeah.

And so he, they show him going on a date with a woman who hit him up on Instagram. And so we're like, oh, okay. And pretty early on in this date, we're like, I don't think she has autism or anything. That's interesting. And then you start to almost be like, is that okay? Like she saw him on a show and then hit him up, but she doesn't have it. I don't know.

Because almost everyone else is dating like other autistic people or maybe on a date with someone with Down syndrome or something. And anyway, so yeah, we didn't love her. We're like, hey, I don't know what's going on here. She like held his hand almost right away. Interesting. But they didn't work out. So we were happy.

Do some of them have Down syndrome too? Is that like? No, this show is all about autism spectrum. I was like, I didn't think Down syndrome and autism were in the same. Tanner's got some Down syndrome roommates. Went on a date with a girl with Down syndrome. So anyway, it's like educational.

And also I'm sure if you had autism, you would really love the show too. You're probably learning from it. They bring in like a dating coach to help this one guy. Like, you know, he was like, we're going to go to the zoo for our date. She's like, okay, if you were going to walk and talk, where would you stand?

And he's like, well, as a guy, I am the leader. So I would walk in front of her and she has to explain like, we can't talk as well this way. And so I was like, yeah, if you are also in the spectrum, you're probably learning along with the show. It's awesome. Interesting. Yeah. It's awesome. Just the whole thing's wholesome and entertaining and fun. Yeah. They do a good job. Cool. Is it true? It's on Netflix. Yeah. I thought I read somewhere that Netflix has ads now. Is that true? I haven't seen them. You haven't seen them timing you at Netflix guy? Nope. Okay. I don't know. I, I, I don't get on Netflix very often anymore. I'm more of a Peacock

guy and I just watched the shows that I've always watched. Like, it's not like I'm seeking out new stuff, but I, I, I just read a headline that was like, Netflix is getting ads, but maybe it's a this guy can't volley kind of thing. I don't know. Yeah, maybe they'll do a new tier, the lowest tier that comes with ads. It's amazing that they've stayed afloat

as long as they have without any monetization strategy. I mean, they lose money every year. All they do is just spend money on production. And yeah, they get a little money from the subscription, but overall they lose money. What's the strategy of that? I think just be dominant,

figure out, gather users and figure out monetization later. It's like what a lot of tech startups do. It's like Facebook was spending all this money at the beginning. They had 500 million users and then they're like, all right, we should monetize this now or whatever. It's time. Huh? Uh, Oh, let's talk about the movie, movie theories. We talked about, uh, why, why the movies were better back in the nineties. Oh yeah. Or whatever. Yeah.

Cause we posted that Ted Lasso clip and there were some people telling me that they're like, they disagree with Ted Lasso part. They disagree, uh, with me saying that we live in the golden age of television right now. And so I was asking Rachel, I was like, what do you think? Like,

when do you think the golden age of television was? And we're talking about it. And she was like, I think the golden age of comedy was a little bit ago. And I was like, actually, I would agree. Cause we are not in the golden age of comedy right now.

Yeah. And so we were, actually, I would agree because we are not in the golden age of comedy right now. Yeah. And so we were talking about that. There's really not any good comedy shows or movies being made these days. Yeah. And my theory is that TikTok has replaced the modern comedy. Okay.

Tell me more. Maybe the writer's strike has something to do with that in very recent times. But I don't know. TikTok, Instagram reels, whatever short form platform you prefer, that is replacing the movie. something to do with that with like in very recent times but i don't know tiktok instagram reels whatever short form platform you prefer that is replacing the movie it's so easy to get a laugh instantly and in 30 seconds you're laughing at something yeah and it's it's curated for you and if you like to laugh you could find it on the internet it's so much easier yeah it i i have

the same feeling towards not the exact same way, but like the slam dunk contest is not nearly as special because I watch a high school or do between the legs, three sixties in games. Now on my phone, Zion Williams and ruin the dunk contest. I mean, just YouTube, like, like that, the dunk contest was the one time a year we were seeing crazy dunks. And now it's like, I can see a very average person doing this at lifetime fitness every single day. You know what I mean? Like, and so then all of a sudden it's like, how do you become original with this? Or how do you, yeah, maybe it's the same way where it's like, Hey, there's so many funny things out there. And then you do SNL and it's like, SNL is not very

funny compared to these things that I think are hilarious and just perfectly algorithmically curated to me. So therefore, um, that's not the theory I've heard, but I liked that theory towards TikTok. I just made it up. So that's probably why you haven't heard it. Uh, TJ told me his theory for it is, and maybe it's not his theory, but, um, essentially what happened was back in the day, you could make a low budget comedy, let's say, or even like, and, and no, that's super bad or something like that. Yeah. Maybe not that, but maybe, yeah, I don't know. Maybe that's low budget, but I'm thinking like way back, like Tommy or something like that. Uh, you know, like, um,

or Napoleon, I'm sure. Uh, where like the actual movie sales in the box office weren't great, but they would make that money up in DVD, VHS, like sales, like physical copy sales. Oh, I see. Does that make sense? Like it would get kind of popular in the theaters and then it would come out on VHS and people would be like, you got to watch this. You got to buy this. And that's where you make just as much money. And that's where you make it. Whereas now no one's buying movies anymore. Yeah. You would just, your second iteration of earning money would be like when you sell it to a streamer, which is not nearly as lucrative. It's not. Uh, I don't think

so. So it'd be interesting to see the data on that. Like what, how much do DVD sales compare to like when Netflix buys your movie, you know, depending on how valuable it is. I think so. So for like the big budget movies, they're still making the superhero movies out there or whatever. Like, it's like, Oh yeah, we'll make the ones that go crazy in the box office. But these little like, like less margin movies, like, yeah, whatever. Super bad. Yeah. Napoleon Dynamite, whatever.

It's like, there's not much upside to these going crazy because I think if they go to Netflix, I don't know. You can look it up or whatever, but I don't think, I don't know how much royalties they're getting versus like how much they're just selling straight up the movies for. You know what I mean? Yeah, I don't really know how that works either. It seems like I've heard anecdotally from people that were on The Office,

you know, like The Office obviously went crazy on Netflix and it's like the most streamed show. And they're like, yeah, we don't see a ton of money from that. Have you seen that? I think that this is what the writer's strike was about. Yeah, this is what it's like the most streamed show. And they're like, yeah, we don't see a ton of money from that. Have you seen that? I think that this is what the writer's strike was about. Yeah, this is what it's about. So I don't know that much about it,

but that's the theory that TJ told me. Gotcha. What do you think? I mean, that makes sense. Yeah, it's a bummer, I think, because I love all those kind of comedies. And just like the early nineties, we were looking up these quotes and we're like, man,

like early nineties was Sandlot, you know, Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, all these different movies that are like, man, I don't know if they would have even tried to make those back then. Yeah. Like if you're a high schooler right now, which I don't, do you guys know any high schoolers right now?

Yeah. Okay. I have some friends. Okay. Yeah. I always got some guys know any high schoolers right now? Yeah. Okay. I have some friends. Okay. Yeah. I have some friends who are high schoolers. Like

we had so many like comedic icons to look up to like there was like oh yeah Adam Sandler Jim Carrey Chris Farley

Will Ferrell like there were so many that we loved and looked at and watched and had access to and now I don't know who those comedy icons are

whether it's TV whether it's movies like yeah it's social media people or comedians yeah I guess so and you're not watching them in theaters I don't know who those comedy icons are, whether it's TV, whether it's movies. Yeah, it's social media people. Yeah, I guess so. And you're not watching them in theaters ever, really. Comedy has just taken a weird turn.

Yeah. The last like 10 years. Bring back comedy. But as far as like true crime, documentaries, dramas, I still think it's, we're living in a good age. We're very spoiled. Yeah. Yeah. When you said the golden age, I still think it's, we're living in a good age. We're very spoiled. Yeah. Yeah. When you said the golden age, I did think about it. Cause somebody did say like, we're not in the golden age right now. I don't have enough of an opinion to really know. It feels like maybe the

golden age, in my opinion was like 10 years ago or something like that. Cause I don't know, like what's, what's going to go down as like the iconic drama right now, you know, like, what's going to go down as, like, the iconic drama right now? You know? Like, back 10 years ago. Like Friends and Seinfeld? Well, drama. Stuff like that? Yeah. Okay.

Because I think Lost was iconic. I think Breaking Bad was iconic. I think Walking Dead, it seemed like that was, like, an iconic thing. Yeah, that's true. It's really popular. I don't know. I'm sure there's an answer. I just can't think of it right now.

I think Game of Thrones broke a lot of records. Good point. Good point. Seems like every... Yeah. I don't know. I'm sure there's an answer. I just can't think of it right now. I think Game of Thrones broke a lot of records. Good point. Good point. Seems like every, yeah, I don't know. I don't watch a lot of stuff, but it just seems like we have so many very good quality options nowadays compared to at any point ever before.

Yeah, like movie quality TV shows. Yeah. Left and right. Yeah. What was that? Did you ever watch King of the High Castle? No. I watched like five episodes of it. You might like it. It's about like if Germany won

World War II basically. Oh, spooky. Kind of different. Spooked. That's kind of the, yeah, that's the, that's the short answer or short, short summary for it. But it was like a movie. It was like, this is amazing. Like this, the movie set, like the, the, the setting for this is insane. I feel like it was like Amazon Prime's first, like the the setting for this is insane i feel like it was like amazon prime's first like we're giving it a go at real a real show yeah yeah it feels like production is just like off the charts like so good like you don't really see these three wall sitcoms these days you see right movies as tv shows yeah that's a good point too like it's just like everything is extremely well done because it's so competitive. When you have good competition,

you get good quality and you get good products. And when Hulu has to fight against Amazon, Disney+, HBO, Starz, Netflix, everybody else, you got to make some good stuff. So that's been TV. So that's TV. And you can watch TV while you eat

good quality American made meat. You can make those sounds. You can make... Here's another set of sounds you can make while you're eating. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Or just a classic... Oh. That's some nice ranchers right there.

Good ranchers.com is a website that sponsors us. Did you know that? Oh yeah. And they only really sell the best and they only really sell the American best. Yes. They come right here from Estado Teodos. Okay. And I mean, they've got,'ve got steak, they got beef,

they got seafood, they got chicken, and there's nothing like it. It is the best meat that money can buy. Get it in bulk, save a little money, use code GRKC, save a little more money. More money. M squared. And just get it delivered right to your door.

The packaging is very nice if you're worried about how meat's getting shipped. They got it down. Yeah. I've even seen it shift from when we first started working with them to now. I feel like they've really honed in on the way to keep this box really cold. Good dry ice packets in there. Quality. Very good dry ice. Yeah. If you don't know, the problem with meat these days is that over 85%

of the beef sold in the United States is imported from other countries. Just insane. Over 5 billion pounds. That's a billion with a B timing of meat was imported just last year. But if, if you're buying from good ranchers, you can finally remove the mystery of where your meat's coming from. You can support local ranches. You can get quality. You can trust, and you can support local ranchers by shopping with them. Well, fun. Yeah. So use GRKC.

And it's, it's, it's just, once you go that chicken, you're not going back. You're not going back to the 85% of imported mystery, gross. TikTok China meat. Grocery.

Tell me more about what you got on your list. Okay, sure. So this past week, the last time you heard from us, I wasn't feeling too well. I'm just kind of sick over the weekends. Rachel's out of town. Spent all day Saturday by myself in the house. It's kind of nice.

Turned my phone on loud. That's kind of fun. How often do you ever have your phone ringer on? I was like, I'm in a house by myself. I'm going to have my phone ringer on. Kind of fun. That's not what I was going to talk about. That was just what I thought of. Did you notice or learn that you had new noises for apps that you didn't know about oh yeah yeah my chest notification was a

sound i wasn't expecting okay i don't remember what it was now it was like a chest piece scraping it's time to play chess or just talking bishop to e4 that's embarrassing i gotta turn that off uh i did play a lot of chess i'm still very obsessed of chest oh i have my ringer on it That's embarrassing. I got to turn that off. I did play a lot of chess. I'm still very obsessed. I'm chessed. I have my ringer on a decent amount. Really?

Especially just at home. And while I'm driving. Okay. Yeah. And as of the last month or so, I'm like, this is underrated. It's kind of nice. If I'm not looking at my phone,

and if I'm not in a public place, it'd be disturbing to anybody. That's not a bad thought, because then you're not as... Catherine's talked of nice. If I'm not looking at my phone and if I'm not like in a public place, it's like it'd be disturbing anybody. That's not a bad thought because then you're not as, Catherine's talked about that, like basically turning her phone into a home phone. And in other words, like having it stationary and if it makes a noise, she will go to it and attend to it, but not just like,

all right, where's my phone? I'll pick it up and just scroll around a little bit aimlessly. Home phone. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good point. And I wonder if I didn't have a little bit aimlessly so phone yeah yeah that's a good point and i wonder if i didn't have a apple watch on if i would do that as well because with

the watch you never really miss anything yeah actually at the same time i would argue sometimes you miss more stuff because sometimes you look at something on your watch and every now and then it'll you get back to your phone and it says that you read a text that you're like i know i didn't yeah you thought i did but i didn't yeah my watch read that there's been a few times where my phone will just like vibrate but there's no notification when i open it up yes for some reason reddit uh notifications on my phone don't go to my home screen they go to my notification screen so it always bought like i know it buzzed it sounds like a phantom vibrate in my pocket like it was in my hand and i had yeah in my hand it's like it like and a quick buzz too so it's like it's almost like never mind i know you should look and next time that happens scroll like from

down to up and check your notifications and see if you have an app that's giving you okay notification screen okay or what would it be like notification center i don't know yeah like it's sending you notifications but not home screen you have to like bification center? I don't know. It's sending you notifications, but not home screen banners or whatever. I don't know how to use that. I don't like the banners. I take off the banners. No bans? No, because it distracts me. I only have a few that are bannered.

I want to watch. Let them have on my watch. Let me see it on my watch. Anyway, Saturday, what was I going to talk about? Oh, for one, you texted me. you were worried that maybe I was in a drunken stupor the night before. Yeah. Your, your car just wasn't there. I was something wrong. Did it not get charged enough or whatever? It was like, Jake's car's missing. Yeah. You texted me and said, Hey, uh, was up early this morning and noticed your car wasn't in the driveway. Did you have too much to drink last night? I was like, no.

It was obviously a joke. I've never seen you drink an ounce of alcohol. Yeah. Didn't do that. But Rachel and I switched cars, which switching cars has got to lead us to a fun little game about Olivia Rodrigo on the Wednesday episode. Okay. So sneak peek. I'm sure you can connect the dots um car driver's license nice very good dot connecting

it's the one that's the one thing i know about her is she has a song called driver's license i woke up saturday um a lot of nasal congestion cold is definitely like in at the peak of it this never happened before i woke up and my right ear was clogged or like popped, like when you go underwater and in the airplane, but it was like unpoppable. You ever had this happen? Oh, every time. Every cold?

Maybe not every cold, but oh yeah, often. Okay. Kind of right now I'm like 60% in my left ear. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That never happened to me before. Like didn't freak me out too much because then I Googled it. it's like, yeah, this could happen from nasal congestion. I was

like, okay, it'll go away. But then woke up Sunday, still there. Woke up Monday, still there. You sleeping on your left side? I don't know what I'm doing. Okay. All over the place. Yeah. Rachel and I have slept four different ways, four nights in a row now. So who was it in the Facebook group that was getting patience? Yeah. I'm sorry you got crucified in the comments. Rachel's all about it. So we went regular bed, air mattress, guest bed. Last night, I'm like about asleep.

She's like, we should switch sides tonight. And I was like, right now? She's like, well, you're getting up earlier than me, so you should have this side. And plus, that side's just cozier. I was like, all right, great. So we switched sides. So I woke up this morning. I'm going to come in here next week, and there's a podcast. Or there's a pillow in the podcastzier. I was like, all right, great. So we switched sides. So I'm going to come in here next week

and there's a podcast, like earlier in the podcast studio. I'm like, really? See, I don't know how I've been sleeping all different recently, but yeah, I just had a clogged ear for like four and a half days. Dude, that's a long time.

Yeah. But I think like last night, this morning, it's starting to feel like, I think we're back. Were you doing anything to try to get it unclogged? Dude, I was doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like crazy. And to try to get it unclogged? Dude, I was doing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like crazy. And there's a couple of times where I was doing it while I was driving and I was like, this might be dangerous. Maybe I could pass out from this. Maybe I shouldn't do it

while I drive. That's fair. Cause I'm really blowing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's been times where like, I'll blow my nose and like, it'll just like mess with my inner ear stuff. And all of a sudden, I think I've talked about that. Maybe like where I'm just like, holy cow. I like the room is spinning all of a sudden or something. That's scary. Yeah. It's like, it's like vertigo kind of stuff or whatever. I don't know. Um, did you ever get any, like, did you ever blow your nose and it kind of like, uh, squeaked in your ears? Yeah. And I, I wondered, I'm here by my close. You're getting there, dude. My nose and ear were making crazy noises squeaking, but I couldn't tell.

I was like, can I only hear this because it's inside of me? Yeah. But then we still had these side effects when Rachel gets back Monday night. And so I'm doing it for her, and she's like, whoa, that's loud. And I was like, I thought so. Okay. So other people can hear this. Really?

Yeah, I was squeaking up a storm all weekend. Yeah. I mean, my biggest answer for you is hostage tape. Oh, that kind of thing. Can you hear that? Yeah. I mean, my biggest answer for you is hostage tape. Oh, that kind of thing. Can you hear that? Yeah. Try to force it. I've screwed myself. I think it's back. What did you do with hostage tape? You just use it.

I think it'll help your congestion a lot. Yeah. Just a big fan. Anyway, pretty much fine now. Also, while I was just like, had the house to myself, just walking around, watching suits, congestion a lot yeah just a big fan anyway pretty much fine now uh also while i was just like had the house to myself just walking around watching suits playing a lot chess whatever uh look around our bathroom and i see a letter or an envelope addressed to rachel coop and rachel is spelled wrong but it looks very official so i opened this up and like what is this it's like a it says like u.s treasury note it's, and I'm like, what is this? It's like a, it says like, U.S. Treasury Note. It's got George Washington

on the front of it, but on the top left, it says 50. It was like a $50 bill with Rachel's name spelled wrong. It looks so official. I should just go get it. Okay.

This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. So you just got this in the mail? I don't know when she got it. I don't know what it is. Let's inspect it. Okay. We'll be right back. You guys talk.

How do you misspell Rachel? No, you can put an E in there. Two E's. It's like R-A... No, another A. R-A-C-H-A-E-L, I think sometimes it says. Rachel. Rachel. Rachel.

Hey, Rachel. I don't know. Let's see this thing. I hust Rachel. I don't know. Let's see this thing. I hustled. Oh, yeah. I ran. Okay, let's see. Yeah, R-H-A-R-R-I gosh, R-A-C-H-A-E-L.

Okay. Yeah, this seems legit. It does seem legit, but they spelled her name wrong and they put the denomination in the top left. So if this would have been an odd number, would they have had to put decimomination in the top left. So if this would have been an odd number, would they have had to put decimals in the top left? If this were to have to be an odd number. It happened to be worth $50, so they put a 50 in the top left.

Would they have reprinted this to say 3748? No, no, no. I think this is like a specific thing for $50. Like that's maybe what they come in or something. I don't know. Surely not. Surely not. It's got George Washington. He or something. I don't know. Surely not. Surely not. It's got George Washington.

He's not a $50 bill. This isn't a $50 bill though. It's a savings bond. Oh, is that what it says? United States savings bond. I don't know much about them to know like what they are, but like it's obviously not currency. Like you can't just give this to a gas station attendant.

I don't know. I, yeah, I have a lot of these from like when I was little, like my aunt Cindy got me some savings bonds back in the day. I look up what savings bond is. Maybe, maybe Rachel's been lying to you and this is how she spelled it the whole time.

Issued date. Yeah. Issued of February of 1997. So when was she born? Was she born in 97? Yeah. So yeah, maybe it just felt like a thing that people did back in the day was like, I'm going to invest in you by giving you these savings bonds and they're going to come to fruition when you're X amount years old. I just looked it up. This says, so if you would have bought a 30-year savings bond in 1990, a $50 bond, it would have cost you $100 to buy it.

You get a $50 bond, but after 30 years, it would be worth $207. Okay. This says. So if you were to cash it in in 2020. So. So you think this is like a dividend of

the thing we bought a long time ago? In 2027, we can cash that in? That's some crazy growth for 30 years. That's wild. That's awesome. How does that work? Why is that a thing? It says on the top, interest ceases 30 years from the issue date. All right.

So what's 30 years from 97? 2027. You're getting close, man. You might make $107. That's crazy. Wow. Hey, but this is money. Like, don't be throwing this around bathrooms.

I didn't know about it. I don't know when Rachel got it or why her name was spelled wrong. Haven't talked to her about it at all, really. Just found it Saturday and was confused because it said 50 and I saw Washington. How, uh, yeah,

I wonder how important it is that her name is spelled wrong. You know, like I bet, I bet that's still cashed. I'm always surprised. Like, let me just go ahead and say this. This is going to sound like a blanket statement,

but most things in life don't matter. For instance, your signature, when you sign for a credit card, what's that for? Oh, I never used to use a signature. I used to, and now, I mean, I'll play a game of tic-tac-toe on there. Yeah, I'm a line except every time. So what's that for? I don't know.

Another thing, it seems like if I make a credit card purchase online, I could say just about anything is the billing address, and it doesn't seem to mind. As long as the credit card's okay. Yeah, the numbers are the same. I've also heard that you can get your zip code wrong on a credit card. If you're getting gas or something, it asks, what's your zip code? Oh, yeah.

I've heard. I haven't tested out. I'm not a bad boy. No, this is exactly what we're talking about. Most things don't't matter it doesn't matter if you put 66216 or not it doesn't matter uh what are other examples of this oh even like a lot of it was money i guess signing the back of a check like how do they know that's my signature like yeah how is this being verified yeah it just needs to have something and then if there's something fishy later they'll look at it yeah because you know what they're going off of they're going off of my grandma's cursive

they're just having to read that and like her like okay that looks like 50 bucks for birthday well but then they got the thing underneath it right like it's a double well i mean like still my grandma's handwriting to write the five zero point zero zero like what if i wrote it was worth five thousand dollars like could that check that if she didn't like make the decimal like but then you write down five thousand and no one hundred but still in like grandma cursive though you know like maybe no it just seems like there was like a little bit of a gray area you think there would be a absolute zero gray area in that um what else does it feel like doesn't matter oh i'm gonna think of it something else with money or zip codes or something i don't know savings bond though

there you go man you're rich pretty neat so this is worth like 150 actually maybe 200 series ee oh that's a good series yeah oh yeah double e you don't usually get doubles that's huge dude yeah pretty neat um we're not doing blanks of the week this week but i have a little biff of the week that i want to talk about okay it's a small one but it was pretty awkward in the moment um was going to aldi the other day to pick up a few things for Catherine. I get out of my truck and I just look in the, my reflection in the person's car next to me to like, see what my hair looked like, make sure I looked all right. And I look and I'm like staring at myself decently. Well for like, I'm let's, let's call it two and a half, three seconds before I realized there's somebody right there in the car, in the driver's window that I'm staring at.

Oh, that would freak someone out. A hundred percent. If you're staring at them like that. Yeah. And I'm not like an intimidating, intimidating guy, but I'm a bigger guy. And I get out of my truck and I just stare. I'm just like, all right. Yeah.

Just a weird and then i i fled that scene as quick as i could and just hoped that they were getting in their car to leave rather than you know about to get out and see me and aldi yeah that's too bad i i do not like that did you get a look at like what kind of person that it was yeah it was like a it was like a 55 year old woman just like somebody that would be intimidated by me staring at them in their little car. As I get out of my big old truck, just all right. Oh my gosh. Oh, sorry. Oh, let me get my reusable bag and get out of here. Sorry about that. Got to get the hair right for all day.

Oh yeah. It's just like, okay, maybe I don't need to look at myself so often or maybe i'll use one of the mirrors in my own car yeah i don't yeah i'm not that into my looks to wear whatever it doesn't matter just a little biff that is a funny little biff um yeah i i can't think of my everything that doesn't matter i'll'll think of it later. I hate that feeling, though. I had a good example in my head ready to go. Let's do... Sorry, I'm pulling up your little thing. Let's do the voice memos later and do the craziest thing I saw this week now

Mainstreetstreet.com grkc for 10 off please support them as they support us they're so consistent we love them love them all right so yeah this segment is called craziest thing i saw this week just things you saw online at some point whether on purpose or not yeah um i think my first one is going to be a video that actually got texted to me from our good friend Celia from last year's Ghost Runners Getaway. Okay. She texted me and Rachel something in a little group text. Timon, I believe it's the first text I sent you.

Sounds good. Yeah, if you want to play that one. Yeah. Alrighty. People believe this man is actually Elvis Presley. Many people believe Elvis Presley faked his own death for protection against the mafia, and there was no evidence until the rumors came about. A man named Bob Joyce, who's a pastor living in a small town in Arkansas.

Many people believe this is Elvis Presley. There have supposedly been sites of Bob Joyce at Elvis' house Graceland on Christmas, and this isn't even the scariest part. Bob Joyce was said to have attended Elvis Presley's daughter's funeral. There's many of other signs that Bob Joyce could be Elvis Presley living out his older days without the fame, including the fact that no man has ever come close to singing like Elvis Presley, except Bob Joyce. Bob Joyce is a very religious man who owns a church. It was told Elvis Presley had gotten very religious towards the end of his life and wanted to find himself.

Many believe we will see Bob Presley reveal the truth very soon and open up about things. Is there even a chance it's him? Kind of a funny made video. Bob Joyce. Creepy music. So yeah, thoughts before I share mine? Well, first of all, love the idea of anybody being alive that's dead. I just love that idea. I love the idea. Well, that was going to be weird. I'm going to start with somebody else besides it. I love the idea of Tupac being alive. I love the idea of Elvis being alive. I don't love the idea of, I don't.

Jesus. I'm not a fan of Hitler, but I think it'd be crazy if Hitler is alive right now. We had no idea. That's pretty, it would be fun. Like, have you heard about what's. Man, I just wish he was alive. No. Yeah, of course.

Of course. Whatever. But like, where is it? Brazil or whatever that like, there's this huge German colony. I don't know. I know Germany, of course. Of course. Whatever. But like, where is it? Brazil or whatever that like there's this huge German colony. I don't know. I know Germany has a ton. Yeah. Oh, yeah. There's somewhere in South America where there's a huge German

population that just happened like right in the 1940s when Germany was losing the war. Anyway, I we've talked about Elvis's cameo in Home Alone back in the day. So I think I, I, it'd be crazy though for him to be so in the open and for people not to be

like, Hey Bob, you're, you're Elvis, right? You sang an Elvis song at church. Yeah, exactly.

Like you're not, you're kind of blowing your cover. Yeah. He's kind of like making it too easy. Um, I will say that did, uh did move the needle a little bit for me once I heard him sing. Really? Oh, Bob could sing a little bit. Mr. Joyce.

Mr. Joyce. But pretty much every comment on this video is just like, yeah, the math doesn't add up. Well, that's what I was thinking. I was imagining Elvis would be way older right now. Yeah, he would. He would be like 20 years older than Bob Joyce's. Okay. So probably not him, but...

Oh, yeah, here it is. Elvis was born in 1935. Bob Joyce was born in 1952. Elvis would be almost 90 now. Bob's looking all right. Yeah, Bob would be a nice-looking 90-year-old. Classic TikTok. Someone just said,

not to mention he looks nothing like Elvis. Like, this guy's hair is white. Elvis's was black. That doesn't make any sense. I love this classic TikTok comment. If it is Elvis, can we just leave him alone and let him live his life in peace?

Gosh. I'm willing to give you it's Elvis, but just be cool about it. Or the comment that just says, no way, DNA him. Oh, thank you for that comment. I'm going to now take a DNA test of Bob Joyce. I make TikToks online.

I will snag a little bit of Bob's hair. I will go get Elvis's DNA, and I will compare them in a machine I have. All right, millennial question about TikToks like this. Is that an automated voice that you can just do for anybody? Yes. Okay. I think so.

I've seen ones with that. Travis Kelsey now has a house in this beautiful suburb of Kansas City. Could it be possible that the paparazzi is finding him here too? And by the way, Bob Joyce also lives in his pool house. That's fun, Tymon. All right. Well, that's my first one. Craziest thing I've seen this week. Let's see what I fun, Tymon. All right. Well, that's my first one. Craziest thing I've seen this week. Let's see what I got, Tymon. Have you seen this yet? Oh, yeah. My husband and I have

removed the bottoms of all of our shoes. We decided to start walking barefoot and one of our followers had a great idea. Since some businesses don't want us being completely barefoot, if we cut off the bottom of our shoes, it'll allow us to be barefoot but blend in with everyone else. This is a huge commitment, but we were willing to make it. These are our favorite shoes. Our shoe collection is worth more than $20,000, but this is a sacrifice we're willing to take because walking barefoot means the world to us. The benefits of walking barefoot are priceless, so now our shoes are worth more than money could ever be. So today we got to work and started removing the bottoms. We weren't sure if this

was going to be easy or hard, and it ended up being pretty easy. We made little shelves where our toes are and our heels are. We made a little lip on the bottom of the shoe where our toenails will go so they can latch on, so we'll actually be able to hold on to the shoe while trying to walk without the bottom. And we did the same thing for our heels. The experience of cutting off the bottoms of our shoes was very freeing and detoxifying, just like walking barefoot is. So after we cut the bottoms off, we decided to try it out. So we went to our favorite store, we decided to try it out.

So we went to our favorite store, Sephora. And as you know, they don't really like us in here without shoes. I needed to grab a few things for a trip we're going on. The experience was absolutely perfect. The workers came up to us. They talked to us. They even complimented our shoes. I definitely recommend this if you're trying to go incognito barefoot. It's the perfect way to get all the benefits of going barefoot,

but also have no one know. So, yeah, we looked at this on Correct Opinions. Oh, did you really? I don't remember if we found out this is real or satire or not, but it does seem like... At first, I wanted to question, like, you have a shoe collection worth 20 grand, and this is how you live your life. But at the same time, it's definitely a rich person thing to do. Like, hey, we're so wealthy. Let's live like poor people that'll be fun yeah let's live like we don't have fully formed shoes and use our overgrown gross toenails to hang on i would yeah

i would i would just think what if hey what if we what if we decide we don't actually want to do this like let's just let's just get some new shoes from target can't really cut some cut some uh cut the soles out of those things you know like 20 pay less get some shacks going you know some starberries i don't know it's just i saw this and i was like that i don't think it is satire but i don't think it is either looking at the comments it looks more legit which is wild because it seems like she was even saying things that would like provoke i don't know it seemed like she was trying to make it satire i mean like our shoe collection is worth 20 grand but now that we've cut the bottoms off they're worth more than ever their price that's a dumb thing to say you like want people to roast you for that just oh yeah now that i'm thinking about more just sell your shoes then

and and get like one or nine two nice pairs that you cut off the holes from or whatever. I don't know. My question is the benefits of being barefoot. I think there are benefits of being barefoot, but are they beneficial in gross public floors? Sephora, yes. It's very beneficial. Yeah, you all know they don't like you to go barefoot. They were like, yeah, they were like, it's detoxifying.

And they're like walking on a sidewalk. I don't think grounding is all about like being on, you know, concrete Sephora. I think it's so much more normal to be barefoot in the grass, which is where you don't have to hide it anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't just like, and so then we went to Central Park where as you know, they hate it when we're barefoot.

It's like, no, no, no, they're totally okay with that. I love this comment. Sending thoughts in Lego pieces. Yeah, I didn't notice the first time I watched it, but did you see like you could at one shot of them in Sephora, you could totally see their foot just like jutting out of the shoe. Yeah, toenails let go. Yeah, the toenails were not clawed in there enough.

And I noticed too, it sounded like he said like, so what we do is we let our toenails kind of overhang to help grip, and then we do the same thing with our heels as well. They keep a few toenails in their heels. Their heels aren't totally touching the ground. It just seems like just so much work. Just silly. Yeah, we're trying too hard at this point.

We're trying too hard. Yeah, it's a microcosm of something. I'm not sure what exactly. I think it's a microcosm of something. I'm not sure what exactly. I think it's a microcosm of Los Angeles. They make shoes called Zero Shoes that are supposed to be like walking barefoot. You could just buy those shoes. Because if you're not in the grass,

it's not like you're grounding in Sephora's linoleum tile floors. I'm curious. Yeah, it's so funny. As you know from our last video, Sephora does not like us barefoot in here yeah yeah I agree don't be barefoot in Sephora you animal also isn't Sephora like makeup and like stuff like that I don't know they're trying to be all natural but they're also like let's go to Sephora and spend $500 on stuff that's not as natural. Yeah. I don't know. Strange folks. So craziest thing.

That's a good one. This next one for me, time and we don't have to watch the whole thing, but have you seen this bread? No. Yes. And no, I've,

I've seen it and I didn't watch it. Chose not to watch it. Actually, I'm going to force you to watch it. You could play it time. If you want to go, this is just a elementary school. Got a bunch of cereal boxes lined up.

Smack that thing. Yes, you did. Just the kids laughter and joy is amazing. Every time they see cereal getting knocked over, they're so happy. Dude, does it go on for three minutes? So yeah, now you can start skipping ahead. I didn't know you would know it would last three minutes, because that was the thing for me. I just kept watching

and watching, and it just keeps going. Oh my goodness. And it gets to the auditorium. Yeah. To the multipurpose room. Camera guy didn't do a great of a job here, but... Just choose one, buddy. Choose one to focus on.

Just get to the corner of the room. Can you imagine... Oh. That is electric. Oh, look at the mascot. I had never seen this before, but... Is it a thing? When I went to Google to find this video,

I think it's... Oh, wow, it is still going. I think it's supposed to be a pretty common thing in elementary schools to do, like, cereal box drives and try to, like, beat the world record. But, yeah, I'd never seen it. I thought it was awesome.

I told Rachel, I was like, if you get hired at elementary school, you got to do this first day. You got to make an impression. I can't imagine the tension in an elementary school of trying to set up, let's call it a thousand boxes of cereal and not have any little kid accidentally knock one over.

Because they're right next to it, all down the halls. Kids are right next to it. That's what I'm saying. Like, I'm almost like, I bet those teachers were so relieved when that was over. We've been the most stressful week of our lives.

Dude, look at how, I mean, so many boxes. That was so cool. Also, is there anything better in this world than cereal?

It just, it looks good. It tastes better. It's unbelievable. It's so good. It's so bad for you, but my goodness, is it just.

Sugar. I'm so glad that I grew up in the age of cereal. I don't know if people are eating cereal like they used to. You're right. Let me tell you, I consume my fair share. Let's all eat some cereal after this. That sounds great, Tymon. Oh, it does sound great.

Ghost Stories Getaway. We got to find our new Kaylee Thompson, someone else who's never had cereal before. Rindle Weaver. Rindle. Just lie to us and say you've never had cereal so we can have an excuse to have Cinnamon Toast Crunch every day. Oh, my goodness. So, yeah, that was my second thing.

Okay. What's the craziest thing you saw this week? I got one more time. I mean, you've seen it, Jake. Probably a lot of people have seen it. The Chiefs of Rule? Nope. Close to it, though.

Here we go. Go ahead and watch. Let him watch. We're covered by gabby marshall here comes clark how will she go for history bang the sound just so this is caitlin clark uh iowa women's basketball player breaking the scoring record with a 40 footer from the logo i mean just the just the game was six to five. It just started. She's pulls up from the logo.

So cool. And if she would have missed it, it would have been a big old bummer. So it's a big old, it's a big chance for her to shoot that shot. And she just ice water in her veins. The most electric athlete besides Patrick Mahomes in the last couple of years, I think.

And she's a chiefs fan. So that makes sense. Yes, it is. Yeah. Kayla Clark is awesome. Yeah. You know, I think. And she's a Chiefs fan, so that makes sense. Yes, she is. Yeah, Kayla Clark is awesome. Yeah. You know, I was reading somewhere, she could stay another year because of COVID.

She has her COVID year. So she could stay a fifth year and just shatter every record and probably make more money with NIL deals doing that than maybe in the WNBA. Wow. But maybe it would tarnish her legacy a little bit if she just shatters the records. Like, well, she played five years.

Yeah. I could see that, but she's amazing. The COVID rule thing, is that just going to be going on forever? It just feels like that should be done by now. Well, I think if you played a year with- In 2020? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then that's how it works.

It just like, sometimes it feels like guys play for like six years sometimes now. Yeah, I mean, I wonder when the earliest you could, like if you get to college in 2018, red shirt. 2019, medical red shirt. 2020, COVID.

Yeah, you can still be playing now. Like Mitch Lightfoot for KU played for so many years, it felt like. It was just like, he's got another year, I guess. It's just, no one's going to check him on it. Grad school. Yeah, just keep going, Mitch. So anyway.

Yeah, crazy. I mean mean whatever she wants to do she's the best she's amazing just it was it was awesome it was a great moment she broke the record almost immediately in the game just drain it i mean it looked like i mean i'm not gonna say i was motivated by her in my performance last night but pretty close. Cornerstone, let's just say they got a butterball sharpshooter. Yeah, she's awesome. Let's get her on the pod. It would be fun. Do you know that she

do you know who has the non NCAA record for point scored? Somebody from your high school? Your coach? It's a girl from KU. It could be before KU was in the NCAA, a woman scored more points than Kelsey Plum, more than Kayla Clark,

but it wasn't exactly the NCAA. So she still has the record. Steve Koop is telling me all this. So the NCAA hasn't been around that long? I don't know about that. It was before KU was a part of it. Interesting. Yeah, she was like, maybe still.

She's the only women's number retired at KU. No way. Yeah. That's awesome. So it's like all these blue numbers and then there's one

red number for her. Do they wear red jerseys very often? I think they should. They don't wear them very often. They brought them back last year I think once

was like an alternate. You remember J.R. Giddens back in the day? Yeah. They wore them a lot his season. Really? J.R. Giddens, David Padget? Yeah. They wore him a lot his season. Really? J.R. Giddens,

David Padgett. That was like the first year I think Bill Self was at KU and then from there he hasn't really, they haven't worn him very much.

It reminds me, I'm just going to look it up now, the 76ers used to have some amazing alternate jerseys back in the day. They would have blue ones, they would have red ones.

I'm pretty sure there was like a gold one. Like Allen Iverson. We talked about AI 76ers like Derek Coleman 76ers. Like Allen Iverson. We talked about the AI 76ers, like Derek Coleman 76ers. Like Allen Iverson. They had red? Oh, yeah. They had red and blue.

Now let me look it up. Show you. Just like a nice, just base red. Oh, cool. Well, I remember those ones down the, like the Dr. J Sixers. I actually had a Dr. J jersey of that back in the day, like that Sixers jersey. I love.

I just watched the Office episode recently where, you know, they think Daryl's faking it, and Dwight's like, he's faking it. And Dwight's like, he had a Dr. J. That's so good. That's so funny. Yeah, that is good. Anyway, Caleb Clark, good video choice. Yeah, thanks.

Sorry, now I'm thinking about those jerseys. I love alternate jerseys. When the Bulls would wear black, I thought that was so cool. When Jordan was playing. Striped black? Yeah, yeah. 90s Bulls black jerseys were so cool. You're not beating Jordan in the striped black.

No, yeah. Holy cow, dude. Yeah. Those were awesome. We watched a Parks and Rec episode the other day where they referenced the Michael Jordan flu game. Yeah. And I asked Catherine, I was like,

do you know what that is? And she's like, no. So we had to watch Last Dance of that episode. She was pretty mesmerized by it. No one else ate the pizza. I ate the whole thing. I ate the whole pizza. The way he says it.

I ate the pizza. No one else touched the pizza. I ate the whole pizza. I ate the whole pizza. The third craziest thing I saw this week? Had a lot of time at home. I'm not going to show you the video, but have you seen the compilations? I didn't know about this.

I don't watch, really, the NBA or the NBA on TNT. I know it's a great show. I see clips from time to time. But do you know about Charles Barkley and the vendetta he has against women from San Antonio? No. I didn't know about this either. I feel like I see, you know, I'm in the news. I see clips. I didn't know about this either. I feel like I see, you know, I'm in the news. I see clips.

I didn't know about this. So very consistently over the years, Charles Barkley has been very adamant. On the air. These aren't like hot mic, you know, oh, they caught him. He's on the air just talking about like,

man, good luck with them ladies in San Antonio. So someone posted a compilation of it. The compilation is 15 minutes long. What? Of him just over the years, just bashing women in San Antonio. It's so funny.

What is his beef? Like what kind of thing? He says there's big old girls in San Antonio. Just like not, yeah, he doesn't find them attractive. You don't want to spend too much time. And so I guess word started to get around.

And so, you know, he's covering some Spurs game a few years back and they cut to like all these women who got like courtside seats or whatever and it's like all these like models basically and they all made t-shirts that said chuck was wrong and so like chuck we want to cut to something it looks like they surprised him with it what do you have to say about this and it's like all these women going nuts and he's like they flew them in from Dallas. They flew them in from Dallas. They from San Antonio. It's so I couldn't believe there was 15 minutes long. And it's basically just the same joke over and over again. But it's so funny. Yeah, it's it's so I just can't believe

he's getting away with it. Just everyone's he's just leaning into it. He's like, yeah, it's San Antonio. I'm not gonna back down from San Antonio. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like that show has been going on inside the NBA for so long. It was kind of before Twitter and Facebook was really at least popular for showing clips and stuff. And so, yeah, I think there's been some hilarious clips that I've seen recently too where it's like, they've been doing this for so long and I didn't realize how funny they've been forever.

Dude, yeah. too where it's like they've been doing this for so long and i didn't realize how funny they've been forever uh dude yeah i don't i don't watch that every night because i i just don't i don't watch nba very often but man when i see those highlights of shack i mean the fact that shack and charles barkley are these hall of fame all-time players and still yet like do this job is just yeah that's just golden talk about about golden age. Like, like we're going to look back and be like, that was so fun. Like to have them both there. And so genuinely entertaining. So good. Cause it could be fun. Like we've talked about like Travis and Jason Kelsey's podcast. There are some clips that have made me laugh or anything, but I would say they have the entertainment value of like Charles Barkley is legitimately funny. Like Peyton Manning legitimately funny. Yeah. We're impressive when you could be a top tier athlete and funny.

So funny. And just like the way they, I mean, cause Charles Barkley is genuinely every once in a while, just like ditzy or aloof or like says something like, I remember this is a random one, but he couldn't say Valanchunas, Jonah,

Jonah's Valanchunas. He's like, Jonah's Val, seen a while sauce. I think he was an all-Star that year or whatever. He's like, yeah, Jonas Valcino Walsas. And they're just making fun. They just lead it to it.

They're just making fun of him or whatever. Ernie. Man, we should just watch. Some episode, we should just find a compilation of the best of inside the NBA and just react to it. It's so good. It's so good. They've won, like, I don't know what the award is. Is it Emmy?

I think they've won, like like 15 Emmys for that show. Yeah. They're just dominant. They're the best at it. So I mean, NFL, the NFL pregame shows always try and it's like, it's fine banter,

but it's just not the same. They always have too many old people, but not, but these days they're, they're getting the young guys. That's true. Uh, I like that old man.

They got Ryan Fitzpatrick, Randy, whatever. All these guys, Richard Sherman, Nate Burleson. Yeah. Some of them I like, but not, yeah, whatever, all these guys. Richard Sherman, Nate Burleson. Yeah, some of them I like. But yeah, not the same personalities, though.

Not like a... Yeah. Because most of the time, if you have a personality like that, you can't really be tamed down. Like, Marshawn Lynch would be a liability. Entertaining, yes. Gosh. But definitely a liability.

Now I just want to watch some clips of that. That's funny. So yeah. All right. We won't listen to it but it's been the craziest things we've seen this week crazy things we've seen this week fun new segment um how long we've been going time uh hour 22 not bad what do you think voice memo or two yeah there's actually a voice memo that i just saw come through that i haven't listened to yet but i think you'll know

which one uh that we should play okay they. They just came through today? In the last couple of days. I haven't listened to it yet. There's one. If you see the title, I think you're going to want to. Oh, it's because of the title. Okay. Okay. Because there's one that came in like since we've been recording. Okay. I'll play it. What's up, Jake and Brad? This is Mark Becker on Colorado. You guys had a worship fail on your last Monday episode, and I wanted to send in my own. Back in college, I was leading at a pretty big church for one Sunday. I was super excited. It's like a thousand people. And me and the band were playing Your Love Awakens Me. And the second verse, there's two lines. It says, feel the darkness shaking first, and then hear the song awaken. Well, I started to sing in the second part of the verse,

feel the darkness shaking again, but I realized, wait, this is the hear the song awaken line. So I cut myself off in the middle and I kind of merged the two and then I ended up singing, instead of hear the song awaken, I sang feel the dong awaken. Yeah. But they asked us back the next year. So I was sweating the whole time. Oh, that's awesome. I was wondering, I was like, what's the mishap here? Like, how did you mess this up? Because it says worship fail. I basically sang puranha on stage. And that's not what it, I was like, how is he going to get Piranha?

Feel the dong awaken. Feel the dong. That's awesome. There's an inside joke with some of my friends back in the day from Canacook. We had like a Facebook group for the staff. You remember that? Like back in the day? And for whatever reason, the nurses got invited to the, you know, like they have volunteer nurses, like adult women that come every year.

And so the nurses were in the Facebook group and one of them commented one time, like a link to like one of her daughters had like a submission for a song that she was promoting, like a contest, like vote for my daughter. And she just vote, please vote for my daughter's dong. And as you can imagine, and she posted it during uncle week. So we're all just like having fun on our phones together. It's just guys around. And we just, I mean, we commented back like, can't wait. Hope your daughter's dong has, you know, uh, just voted great dong, like all these different things. Hey, we got all the uncles together. Just prayed for your daughter's dog has, you know, just voted great dog, like all these different things. Hey, we got all the uncles together. Just prayed for your daughter's dog. Yeah. Yeah. The uncles. Yeah. The uncles will all be voting regularly for the dog.

So yeah, whatever he said, dog, that's amazing too. That's a funny word. I've never heard the song Cornerstone the same. Have you heard about that? I dare not trust the sweetest frame. I just think of our school, Cornerstone, Seastone. Seastone. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly trust in Jesus' name.

Somebody pointed that out to me one time. I was like, I'm not ever listening to that song again. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but holy trust in Jesus name. It's like, you're welcome, guys. You're going to be out there on Sunday. You're going to be laughing while other people are just, you know, connecting with the Lord and you're, but holy trust in jesus name so you're welcome you're welcome uh thanks mark for that that was a great voice my mom that was great keep them coming let's do let's do one more let's do the one that uh somebody just

sent in okay and then we'll get on with it hi jing brad okay this is the last time i'm gonna record this um i want to know any um youth group or camp stories that you guys have specifically about like games or like gross things um when i was in high school our youth pastor gave us this one game where he had a frozen rope that he was heating in a cooler and um he had to string it through one arm of our shirt and then the other arm of our shirt so which is already weird because we were like all lined up and had this one rope through all of our shirts um and we had to pull it through as fast as we could but what we didn't know was on the end of this rope there was a frozen fish um and so you

had to pull this fish through your shirt and through everyone's shirt. But by the time it got to you, it was not frozen and had people sweat and gross things on it. And it was just disgusting. Ew. Yeah. My youth pastor was a fan of dead fish or animals and blindfolding us. Sweet. What? Where did they...

They had to put the fish through their shirt? Yeah. Like through the arms, like the fish through their shirt yeah like through the arms like the front of your shirt that's gross and weird and I don't know

and like as a high schooler are you kind of like weirdly kind of attracted to a girl like moving her shirt around putting something inside of it like you're like dang that fish is touched

that is all around weird I gotta touch the same fish that touched jessica sports bra yeah i've never done a single game that involved anything on the inside of a shirt that just seems like a red flag that's weird no positives whatsoever i don't that's so weird and frozen rope that just seems like that's gonna be freezing cold that's gonna hurt a frozen rope ow don't yank it through shirt. Ah get burned just altogether a bummer of a time but People ask me decently often. I bet they do for you too. Like hey, what's a good youth group game?

Somebody asked me on my instagram live one of them I did yesterday I did four And I always just keep it simple i'm like I think it's more fun to like have a fun game that people are into that then can hopefully turn into funny things rather than like make the game this ridiculously hilarious thing. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like a, like a Pictionary game or like a whatever acted out game. But man, it's hilarious the way they acted that out.

Yeah. Yeah. Like that person that's so quiet all of a sudden did the funniest version of an adobe house in santa fe new mexico i don't know where that came from um yeah that's a good word i would agree especially with like high schoolers yeah you could do that yeah yeah agreed um yeah i there's all sorts of fun stuff i mean i remember katherine and peter when i started first working with them uh they went out to the there's all sorts of fun stuff. I mean, I remember Catherine and Peter, when I started first working with them, they went out to the Chinese market,

got an octopus, and then instead of playing Ultimate Frisbee, we played Ultimate Squidbee. That's a classic. Yeah, the very first K-Life club that Catherine was a part of, her first week, she was tasked with going downtown to this Chinese market by herself.

It's just the most Thomas thing ever. Like, yeah, go get this octopus. Play an ultimate octopus. And she's like, I can't believe this is my first real big kid job, and here I am just by myself getting octopus. I feel like gross games,

we did this once with middle schoolers, I think. You have this see-through tubing that's bendable, and you kind of have it did this once with like middle schoolers i think like you have this like see-through like tubing you know that's like it's bendable and you kind of have it in like an archway you crack an egg put the yolk in the middle and then two kids on each side put their mouths around you say one two three blow and then whoever has the strongest breath doesn't get egg yolk in their face the other one does yeah what's the strategy there? Do you just, do you go like-

You blow slightly second, I think, because they'll wear out quicker than you. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Like have it for longevity over power. Yep. Like just go 30% and just keep it right here, right here, right here, right here. And then the minute, the second that person

takes another breath, they inhale both breath and yoke right away i'd play that against somebody if somebody wants to go and you say you got the strategy down or i just overpower just right off the bat three two one i think i do have a pretty good amount of lungs like long breath long breath there you could do it that'd be pretty i yeah i'd have fun with that a classic one where you know you're gonna get to laugh at someone is just tell them you're gonna do a dance a blindfold dance contest you know call it dance like no one's watching or something and then just have everyone else in on it they all take your blindfolds off and then you're all just watching one person dance

by themselves oh okay we got a pretty even competition here okay claire let's see what you got yeah and she's up there dancing by herself yeah we need to get a little more if somebody's come on who's it gonna be it's neck and neck come on no one's really deciphering them yeah making themselves out of the pack here come on let's see it um that's fun do it to someone who's confident though. Don't want to just embarrass somebody. Well, kind of. Yeah. Um, cool.

Thanks for those. We'll do more voiceovers on Wednesday. Uh, but for now, let's do our review of the week. Brad, you have one week. Uh,

My name's Tymon. No, I just listened to episode 37 where he talked with a friend about eating leftovers. And I've had this conversation with this topic before. It was quite long, but I have come to the conclusion that yes, I do eat cold leftovers and your friend was right. It does have a different molecular form

when it's cold, and Chinese food is so much better when it's cold. I like leftovers. I like cold leftovers so much. They're so passionate about this. My mom was making gumbo for me, and I had her set aside a portion

to put in a dish to keep it in the fridge so that when it had later... So I had it later. When I had it later. Gosh, so when I had it later, it was cold, while everyone else had it hot. Weirdo. But later. Gosh, so when I had it later, it was cold, while everyone else had it hot. Weirdo, but love it.

Just so passionate about it. It's fun that now forever, their Apple ID username is Cold Leftover Eater. They're going to try to change it. You can't do it. 20 years from now, like, gosh, that one podcast, they made me name it this. Mine, the title is called,

I've been listening for almost two years and just absolutely love it. I have a little sister who's

three years old, so I can relate to Brad with the story of Hattie, Bo, and Rosie, and I love hearing Jake and Rachel's story. It gives me a glimpse into the future of what it'll be like when I get married.

And then Tymon. Dot, dot, dot. I'm a 17-year-old. I live on a farm. I'm a sheltered Christian. I have a big family, and I'm a theater kid who loves music.

Couldn't relate more. Love the pod. Wow. Her username is like 25 numbers, so you should hit her up. 25 numbers. Will do. Pick out seven of them and go for it.

We'll find an area code in there too. Sure, numbers in there somewhere. Yeah, figure it out. Brad, Tymon, would you like to end this episode with a jingle? Brad sent me this jingle. Do you want to choose a song for me to sing

that I'd like to tune to? Oh. That'd be fun. My computer's plugged in digitally. it's like it's a super short jingle but we could try so it could be to any song maybe maybe um any song that's too vague or too broad let's. I already typed one in. Great. Does it work for this? I literally got it from ChatGPT. Here,

keep going. Alright, I got some more lyrics from this thing real quick. Okay, cool. Ghost Runners Podcast! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, I knew that. This is still the intro. I've never actually listened to this song, I don't think. It sounds like you know the melody, though.
