Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Okay. Twelve miles an hour. Eat that car, Lewis! Angela made several 911 calls about cars going too fast in front of the building, so the police put up a radar gun. It's actually caused a bit of a traffic hazard. Wow! Thirteen! actually caused a bit of a traffic hazard. No! Wow, 13! No. No. No, there was wind. I was just jogging.

Dwight, there was wind. I want to do all this. No, no, no, it's not your turn. All right, 13 is the new number. Oscar, go ahead. I want another try. Here we go! 31!

31! There was a car. I was ahead of the car. 31 is my new number. 31 is humanly impossible. Go, Oscar. 31's my number. That's impossible.

Beat it! 31 is our number, baby. 31! Episode 31 with the Ghost Runners. Welcome back, everybody. Oh, man. I love that quote in that. I feel like I've been saying that a lot lately. Like, anytime I say a number, I'm always going to... Just a number in that. I feel like I've been saying that a lot lately. Like

anytime I see a number, just a number in general, 20, 24, 34. Beat it. Beat it, Oscar. Oh man. Uh, that got me thinking not necessarily just about running, but, uh, I was stuck at a train the other day and it was going pretty slow. And I thought to myself, I know it's dangerous to be in front of a train, but like. Could I stop it with my hands? Could I Mr. Incredible this thing real fast? I'm going to get out of the car and try. I'm going to take my spider web and just, yeah, get that thing away from the cliff. What were you actually thinking?

Yeah, I was not thinking that. I was thinking, could I hop on this thing? Like, how hard is it to like get on a train? Like a moving train? Oh, like from the side, like a side entry or like a. Yeah. Like, let's say like kind of like a, you know, running alongside and hopping on. And it's, it's, it's, it's going all right. It's not one of those, like just starting to

it's like, no, it's already, it's going, you know, but it's going real. It was going pretty slow. Like I could read every word that was going past on these cars. How close were you to the train? Well, at the time i was i was probably i was the first car behind the track thing oh so you're close yeah you got a good gauge of its speed i was unfortunately very close yeah it was because i think sometimes things from far away look like they're not moving that fast then you go it was it was plenty slow like i was like this is like i could probably just grab on to one of those monkey bar looking things yeah and just kind of drag for a little bit and then eventually like increase myself up i don't know if that's the route to go i'm gonna let it drag me for about 10

to 15 feet and then i'll just get this superhuman strength and i'll just pull myself up i think you just run you run as fast as you can beside it and then grab on but you don't want to like jump and lunge and then what if you miss and then you're like tangled no jump lunge i think run grab are your two verbs run and grab okay grab yeah i just i think to myself i could do that it would be fun it's it's illegal right super illegal okay super like more than killing somebody uh it's tough to go killing somebody's pretty pretty super illegal too i think right i think so too i think you're right that yeah like the government takes homicide decently serious you get in trouble uh like like they yeah you can't it's like a like

a sometimes like a 50 year slap on the wrist oh really yeah yeah like don't do it yeah like okay seriously guys stop like come on hey i i saw you i saw you do it go go get in jail get in there think about it okay no i didn't mean it 31 31 years to life there is a youtuber i follow he actually his name is marcus johns he like was one of the biggest creators ever on vine back in the day but it's just kind of a chill dude and not your typical viner he started a youtube series called train hopping where he just vlogged trying to get across the country with like his best friends on trains. Really? And they would get in trouble and have to run from people.

And it was kind of entertaining. Wow. Maybe we could do that. We could call it train dragging. Train dragging. How to train your dragging. Oh! Oh, wow.

This is going to be a good episode. The juices are flowing today, baby. How to train your dragging. That's funny shoot when you first said like getting on a train for some reason i was thinking more like you know uh like mission impossible or like taking one you know run off a bridge and jump on a train or something oh my gosh oh like yeah oh no wait i sorry he jumped on a moving boat either way it was off of a bridge that's what i think you're talking about yeah yeah oh. Like I am not going on the top of that thing. Cause even if I land on the top,

I don't feel confident that I'm going to stay up there. And that's why I've been, I'm like in the movies, they make this seem decently realistic. If you're a protagonist, you could probably jump on a moving train. I'm like, well, I think I could do that too. If you're an antagonist, you want to try the drag method. Yeah. It's not going to go well for you. Oh, yikes. No. Yeah. Cause once you land on it, there's no way either my footing's going to, going to, you know, go under me and I'm going to like nail my face on it and roll off or just like the momentum of, it's just going to be like a boom. And then like, you're going to fly backwards and maybe get in between the gaps of the cars and just get smushed in there. Kind of like a little bit of like a

pinball yeah let's say okay let's say the train is going directly under the bridge so you you don't need any kind of running start you're just hopping off this bridge onto it okay and it's not even that far so it's not gonna like hurt your legs to jump more just going from like stale speed going from zero miles an hour to 50 that's scary that's'm saying. Like, can you hang on in that scenario? Me personally, no way. Maybe somebody out there, I would go face like, like if the, if the train is coming towards me, if there's an electric train going Southeast at 15 miles an hour. Well, no, actually I don't, I was going to say I would want to like jump like against the grain. Basically like it's coming.

It was a trick question. They don't have smoke smoke because it's an electric train oh gosh classic word problem okay sorry keep going i i would i was thinking at first like jump towards the moving train yeah that way you know if you do fall backwards you you know you'll just be going towards the momentum of the train however if you do fall backwards jump me from a bridge uh Uh-oh, watch out for your head because it's going to get kappa detated. Yes. Your kappa was detated from your head right there. So, oh, so definitely if we've learned anything,

jump on the other side that the train is going. So you don't have to worry about low clearance as soon as you jump. Correct. Yeah, that'd be very silly actually. Yeah. You got to jump on the other, the good side. Yeah, the good side.

That's what they call it, the good side. Oh yeah, that show with Ted Danson. Yeah. The good side. Yeah, the good side. That's what they call it, the good side. Oh, yeah, that show with Ted Danson. Yeah. The good side? Cheers. No, cheers. I don't know. No, do you know what I'm talking about?

The Good Place? Oh, The Good Place. Yeah, I watched The Good Place. Do you watch it? Oh, so you should know what I was talking about. Cheers with Diane. Yeah. No, I haven't seen that show.

Okay. But it's about heaven, right? No? Yeah. Okay, I don't know. It's about the afterlife and yeah, that yeah. Heaven is the good place. Quote unquote. Uh, I have a hot take about that show. It may be not, not that hot. Uh, people love it. Some people think it's like the greatest show on television right now. I think it is not very funny at all. Oh, I think it's a really good show. Like it's very, very original and creative. You know, like Michael Shore from The Office is like the creator of it. No, I know.

Yeah. He does all my favorite shows pretty much. And it's really, really creative, but it's not, it doesn't ever make me laugh out loud ever. And so TV show recommendation of the week goes to Superstore. Oh. That show does make me laugh out loud really hard also a michael schur uh yeah show sure show for sure oh for sure it's a show and yeah very

very funny the good place also a recommendation but just don't expect to laugh very much okay but be entertained so tell me hey if you disagree or agree, you know what to do. Leave, leave a review, uh, between, uh, four and six and make sure it's a solid integer, uh, stars, a whole number, uh, on Apple podcasts. Somebody, somebody messaged us this week. Did you see this? Uh, I don't, I don't remember their name. I'm sorry, but they're like, I am so sorry. I've been trying so hard to figure out how to review you on podcast.com. Oh no. That's like, that's like such an inside joke that we have like of like, Hey, review us on podcast.com. Cause that's not what it's called. It's like, review us through Apple podcasts. I don't even know what's on podcast.com. They're like, I've been looking for you guys. I don't have a, uh, they didn't have an iPhone. So they're like, I've been on, I've been on podcast.com trying to figure this out. And I was like, Oh man, I feel so bad. And so I was like, I'm been on podcast.com trying to figure this out. And I was like, oh man, I feel so bad.

And so I was like, I'm so sorry. I think you can only review us on Apple Podcasts. That's really nice of that person to try though. Yeah. So if you know who that person is, leave us a five-star review on Apple Podcasts. Apple Podcasts. Nowhere else. So yeah, good place.

Decent. Superstore. Very good. You would call it the decent place if you could rename it aren't they ending it though yes it's over which i respect that it's only like the fourth season i think and they're like no we don't want it to keep going and go too far and not be good anymore i read an article about that it's like what michael shore learned from the office oh really yeah that's what the headline was interesting it's like you know maybe it's okay to end it even when people are really liking it because he does he does all those different shows

that i like he likes he does brooklyn 99 the office parks and rec or he did you know and superstore the good place i say that one already anyway and i feel like a lot of those shows last a little bit too long but maybe that's a mental thing you think that's a little bit of a mental thing like you when you know it's about to be over like uh this isn't as a little sad too long. But maybe that's a mental thing. You think that's a little bit of a mental thing? Like, when you know it's about to be over, like, uh, this isn't as funny. It's a little sad

because you know it's the final season. Yeah. Because I think that the good place right now is just okay. As far as, compared to what it was at the beginning. But,

enough about that because you don't have any opinions about the good place. I would love to help but I've never seen the show. Ted Danson. Ted Danson. Silver Fox.

Anyway, I, uh, right, I went rock climbing this week. I want to hear about it. I went bouldering, actually, technically, for the first time ever. What's the difference? Rock climbing, you use ropes and harnesses. Bouldering, you don't go that high, but no ropes. Okay.

So you have equal amounts of danger involved in each, probably. Honestly, I have no idea. I mean, this is my first. I have have no idea that is a nice boulder i'm sure there's probably a lot of other differences too i probably just like butchered the differences in bouldering and rock climbing but those are the visual differences are ropes and no ropes okay oh yeah before we even get into it did you know there's just like an underground society in kansas city Basically. Can you be more specific with me? I can, I can barely be more specific. I'm going with my friend. I know there's caves. Is that what you're talking about? Yes, dude. I was in the earth's crust. I could not get over it. I was like,

this is already fun. Like I would have paid money just to come here and like be in this. There's like, I was joking like, Oh, this is a nice exposed crust, you know, like apartment. Cause it is, it's like, it's like exposed brick and like downtown apartments. Like they just don't cover up the walls down there. Oh, really? It's just the earth. The earth is just exposed to you. This wasn't the rock climbing place.

This was before. No, this is this. You go down 10 stories and then you rock climb up back to the surface. No, I'm just kidding. That would be cool. That would be awesome. Get back to your car. If that doesn't exist, yeah.

It's an escape room with rock climbing. Escape room. No, I'm just kidding. That would be cool. That'd be awesome. Get back to your car. If that doesn't exist, yeah. It's an escape room with rock climbing. Escape room. Yes. I like it. So yeah, I was already like, I seriously, you talk to Johnny, you talk to Sean, they'll tell you. I was head over heels, as they say, about just being underground. And there's a lot of firms down there.

There's accounting offices. There's businesses. They have businesses. That's where Daniel, our friend, that's where his first office was. I did not know that. Yeah. It seems like, what, like, can it, is it really that much cheaper to blow up dynamite underground and then like set up shop down there?

Cause like the floor is not even at all. It's like very uneven. Okay. Like I don't really know how they put up walls down there because it's very jagged. Like there is carpet, but it's interesting that you're walking on the moon or something. I've been to the moon several times, so I can easily compare them, but it's interesting they're walking on the moon or something i've been to the moon several times so i can easily compare them it's very similar very similar anyway we finally find the rock climbing place and uh it's funny like immediately going in there if you're looking

to meet someone who is not any type of person of color and is not a woman this is your place look like a look like a clan rally in there it was so like uniform and like so cookie cutter it was so actually i was talking to trey about this yesterday and he was like dude outside of chick-fil-a rock climbing spots are the most places i get recognized he's like those are my people oh they love he's like the rock climbing people yeah love me i guess um sausage fest's a sausage fest, a white sausage fest. Yes, white sausage. A polar bear sausage. It was funny.

You would have loved this. They're like, we got some first timers, huh? Let me give you guys a tour. I was like, okay, sure. And this guy was, I wouldn't say stereotypical rock climber. I wouldn't even know what that meant. But more like stereotypical camp counselor. Kind of reminded me of White white goodman and dodgeball

a little bit in a nice way so basically he i read that in a book so he's walking us around all right so this is like the v0s v1s is the cave over here you've got free workout class over here he's always take us around he's like oh what's up jason oh good work tony oh you know just like name dropping like five or six people. Oh, yeah. I knew you had it in you, Anthony. We're a family here. You know?

Yeah. It was like a local commercial or something. I was like, see you at Sullivan's later tonight. All right, Johnson. Yeah. It was just like, this is funny. This is great. Yeah.

But everywhere there was super nice. It was fun. I, uh, my, oh, dude, I still, this has been three days since I have bouldered. Cannot squeeze toothpaste the traditional way. Forearms are shot. So what do you do? I have to like massage it with my thumbs. You put the toothpaste down on the, on the counter and just like take your chin and like

push up on it? I slam my head into it. Yeah, no, I massage it with my thumbs to get it out. Like I can't squeeze. Um, that's awesome pretty embarrassing but it was fun it was a good time i don't know if i'll go again but it was fun wait i'm more i'm more i'm still fixated on the imagine you massaging your toothpaste with these thumbs like i can't squeeze it and granted i'm almost out of toothpaste so it is getting a little tougher

oh yeah sure i'm on the tail end i'd say it's top of the ninth for my toothpaste, but still, I can't squeeze it. It's kind of sad. Top of the ninth. Here comes John Rocker. Oh. Eric Gagne. Who else? Wade Davis.

Mariano Rivera. Sure, sure, sure, sure. If you've got any pitcher for one inning on your team, like, uh-oh, the best lineup in the world is about to come up to bat. Top of the ninth, we're up by one. Let's bring out Phil on the bike. Who are you bringing in?

Randy Johnson? Is the pitcher brought into the modern era or is it in his heyday? I can have him also play against batters in his heyday. Well, it's like the top nine batters ever. So it's like Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Ty cobb okay whoever else and you're like all right we need we need three outs here hmm let's go like satchel page back in the day would sure sit him down sure um but i don't know how he would do isn't it funny like you like with sports it's so hard to like compare things year after year that is like one of the most frustrating things

to me about sports like every sport you have to compare them differently like you can't compare 80s football to now football or 80s basketball to now football they're all on different spectrums but like we got ty cobb wasn't allowed to play against black people right we can't compare that to now well it's just really frustrating that's like oh man well and it's also frustrating on the other side but it's really frustrating that you can't just like, yeah, you can't, you can't know how good will Chamberlain would be in today's NBA. It's impossible. Like will Chamberlain dominated,

but would he dominate today with like all these tall guys that shoot three pointers? Like, would he still like get the ball or, you know what I mean? Or like, would he just get like run out the gym cause he's not fast enough to keep up with Kevin Durant and LeBronon james yeah or like vice versa like would lebron james be able to guard michael jordan you know it's like such a fun argument but it's also so frustrating that you can never like there's yeah no one will ever be right the game is completely evolving over time like people always like oh jim brown's best running back ever it's

like was he was they didn't really go in shotgun back then right so he was like running the ball all the time yeah whereas now like yeah christian mccaffrey i'm not saying is better than jim brown but is putting up crazy numbers but yeah it's just an interesting frustration number five yeah i'm totally with you i love debating like kobe versus michael jordan versus lebron and everyone's always like oh get kobe out of there which hot take i think that kobe bryant would beat either of them in a one-on-one game i don't think i don't think that i disagree with that but do you yeah who do you think i think lebron james he's just so much bigger i don't know if it's as big of a deal to be as big in one-on-one yeah very big deal as deal as a score though. He doesn't, he's not like a, just a pure, I mean, yeah, you can just, he can put his head down and just go to the back.

I play a lot of one-on-one and most times people are bigger than me and they just, I do a lot better in a five on five game. Okay. Then I do one-on-one because I think about like Kobe Bryant backing you down. I don't know. And he's good defender, I think. But then again, it's like, I don't know him as well good defender i think but then again it's like i don't know him as well as i know i haven't watched as much of him i love kobe growing up but anyway whatever anyway my answer is uh way davis of course he was he was amazing for the royals yeah 2017 way davis okay 2015 or yeah whatever um yeah you're totally right i was a little off there right give me give me something i said i did rock climbing right i need something uh okay your turn here's something i was at home depot the other day of course second home my toy store uh you've

seen those bumper stickers like my toy store home depot it's like good one oh i don't like that really okay no no it's fine i was there and I don't know. First of all, this is a little bit of a tangent. If you ever have to go to the bathroom, I have before. Uh, yeah. And it happens to me, especially at stores. Like I was looking for something. I didn't know exactly where it was at home Depot and I had to go number one. I had to go potty, which Jake doesn't think that potty means number one he thinks it means number two but i thought that in the two weeks ago my eyes were opened he's like he's like wow you went potty really fast i was like yeah i did uh jake do you think

potty means taking a in the realm of dogs yeah i understand potty humor yeah i think i just made connections to things without ever like really thinking about i did take a panel to it and people some people were saying uh it might be one or two like you know combination no one else agreed with the only number two though that's how i thought potty is always two pp sure that's, anyway. Okay. So I was going potty at home Depot and I was, I was there and get to the urinal. And first of all, I don't want this to be like a, I don't want to just be like a potty humor podcast. Okay. A potty pod. Yeah. I don't want to be a potty pod. So let's not, let's not go on too much of tangents based off this, but I just want to tell the story cause it was like kind of weird and it's happened before to me.

Let's go to the bathroom. This guy in the stall taking what you would define as a potty. Okay. Just like, like audibly. With his mouth? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Sorry. I feel bad for him. No, it was like, it was like a relieved noise. Uh, do you think you made enough noise for him to know that people are also in this restroom now and he's not alone? A hundred percent. There was at least one other person in a stall as well. Okay. So I'm always like, when I enter a restroom, I'm a big, I'm a big, uh, let them know. Let them know. No, I always let them know if I'm in the stall. Like, Oh, same either way. Yeah. I just, I don't, my rationale does not understand

people that are that okay. Being that loud in a public restroom. Like, I got to understand, like if you're going to the bathroom and it makes noise, whatever, that's fine. But like, here it comes. Oh, it's out. It's out. Or I've had people answer the phones i've heard them answer the phones while going to the bathroom can't do that no but i thought to myself is that strictly a guy thing or are girls do girls go to the bathroom too like in at home depot and be like oh you know like are they doing it too i don't know i'm curious i'm really genuinely curious like like what happens okay girls this week when you're at your toy store let us know if you're making noises okay when you're at ulta beauty and going to the bathroom because that's the other thing i was

going i was looking at stuff and i could not concentrate because i had to go to the bathroom so bad does that ever couldn't concentrate i'm like so bad like if i can't find something i don't know exactly where it is and i have to go to the bathroom a little bit my mind takes over and i'm like i gotta go to the bathroom before i can find this thing before i think about yeah two by eight right i can't i can't go there um so that's why i had to go to the bathroom because i can't my mind took over bathrooms are funny it's just like such a private thing that we very willingly share with others yeah it's It's just odd. Um, there's so, yeah, I'm like, dude, what do you not think I'm here? Do you not care that you're making this price? Doesn't care, but you're, you're saying it was a relief. I absolutely care. I could be having some

huge issues and I would keep it as quiet as can be like a church mouse. Not, I'm not getting any louder than I have to be in there. And this guy is probably just having a normal, normal time in there. Just, uh, I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt and that he was having a rough go of it. And like, he was like, you know, God take me now, or just let this come out of me. And then it like it happened. And so he just, he has no social like restrictions anymore. He just so glad that the pain has been taken away. So he's like, oh. Good for you for seeing the positives.

One time. This is such a rabbit trail. I don't want to become a potty pot, but. This one isn't really bathroom humor. It just happened in a bathroom. Okay. Two friends. I won't say their names, but.

We'll call them Connor. We'll call him Connor and Connor's friend. Okay. So Connor and Connor's friend. We'll call him Connor and Gunner. Okay. Connor and Gunner are with me. We're all at a bachelor party in Las Vegas.

This is like two, three years ago. Oh, this is already awesome. And we're just, we're at like the, the Hakkasan at MGM Grand or something like that. One of the big, I think Tiesto was performing. So it's very popular, very crowded. Oh yeah. Corey McDonald got his phone stolen that night. So look out.

Oh, I don't know who that is. I'm just saying his name. I don't know. Just saying like a guy, like out of his pocket. Rob. Crowded. Pickpocketed. Pickpocketed.

Okay. Anyway. Yeah. Sorry. I looked at you. I was like, Corey McDonald. You're like, I'm sorry. I don't know who that is.

But anyway, get to the story. We go to the bathroom, very crowded, very just like get in, get out, do your thing. And then Connor and Gunnar, just out of nowhere, I don't know when they went over this because we all went to the bathroom together, but like, you know, urinals probably go 20 wide,

very big bathroom. And they start peeing. And they just start like screaming in fake pain. They're like, oh, oh oh it stings oh oh it stings and then they start like kind of like cussing at fake like stripper names oh dang it cinnamon oh oh you know it just misty yeah just yeah you can imagine what they're saying. Like, just things towards these girls' names and who've, you know, now given them these STDs that are hurting and making them pee. And it was so funny because, I mean, everyone is just like, oh, my gosh. Like, it's getting attention. The security guard comes in and says, like, we got a problem here.

Really? Yeah, yeah. Because, I mean, they were making a scene. Lionel came in? Yeah. It was really funny so if you find yourself in that exact same scenario in a vegas nightclub uh it's pretty funny joke made me laugh oh dang it misty yeah okay i got one more okay uh speaking of going number one in the urinals so

back in the day at the chiefs at arrowhead stadium the chief stadium uh they used to have like basically like urinal troughs do you remember the old pig feeders yeah exactly yeah just put your slop all out there i regret it um but yeah it's just like one long thing and just kind of like streams down into this one hole at the bottom yeah it's weird and like you know whenever you go to the bathroom in public especially with a bunch of dudes at a sporting event like no one says anything you just look straight ahead maybe get your slop out there and do your business maybe look up do a couple bounces at the end or whatever uh but there is this reminds me of something else dang it there was this one guy next to me one time who i guess had something wrong like or taking some medicine or something and his pee was blue what and and so we're all going to the bathroom just kind of looking there and then you kind of

see like this thing out of the corner of your eye and you look down like oh that's not like the others and then we're making green down like i see like you know 15 guys over here just all of a sudden all turn this everyone's trying to track down the blue smurf beer where did it come from where's the smurf stream it was awkward and hilarious all at the same time i was like that is awesome yeah when i used to sell plasma there'd be some guys in there who had some like weird colors i saw green plasma one time and i was like what drug are you on really yeah oh it's weird it wasn't like we weren't crossing streams or anything the old plasma days though yeah people have people have different color plasmas depending on yeah like pretty different yeah like first of all like

a healthy plasma is like orange which i didn't like i just expected it to be red but like they yeah you go for like this like musty orange and there's lighter orange browner orange and a little grungy green every now and then grungungy green. Yeah, it was weird. Sheesh. Sheesh. Oh, what I was going to say real quick. Last bathroom thing, actually. Did you know? It's just such a rabbit hole, dude.

Did you know that girls don't do like the pee shiver thing? They don't have to. Do they? That's the thing. Well, I didn't think it would be this like biological difference in us. I thought it was just like, guys have always grown up like, I would say one in every six peas of mine. It's like a really good one. And six p's of mine it's like a really good one and you kind of shiver afterwards yeah you know what i'm talking about yeah or during

yeah yeah sometimes during yeah often yeah yeah yeah oh yeah two to four seconds after it's like it's like yeah it's like a half a second yeah didn't mean to go upside down there on the old loopy loop what's that what's that roller coaster in cedar point called that it doesn't matter the big one the beast or something i don't know roller coasters in cedar point it's like it's like a huge one it doesn't matter we'll call it the mamba leave it a five star review yeah the mamba anyway i found out in college it was a conversation with previous sponsor page far it was a conversation with each other she's like what are you talking about pea shiver and that was the day i found out girls don't pee shiv girls don't pee my friend used to call them poop shivers oh i've never had no you have some

gastrointestinal this if you do that i had a little trouble that's that's my friend we'll call him scott because that's his name we'll call him scott because he's a listener of the pod he's like 15 episodes behind though so he texts me like once a week like oh dude that was hilarious i'm like don't know what you're talking about so when he hears this in april when the chiefs are the afc conference championship right here about this oh i just realized you said april in my head i was thinking late january and brad i just i'd like to apologize for not active listening to you hey that's okay let's speak. Okay, no more bathroom stuff. That's enough of that.

Another thing I did this week is pickleball. Finally got to play in a game, and it was a big one. If we win five games to zero, we go to the championship because of the way the freaking standings work. Yeah. And it was, I know you joked about coming with us you were talking to gutter and i like i'm gonna come cheer you guys on i this would have been the one to come to really because we show up and it's two middle-aged women

oh so part of me is like geez like it's still fun that we're here playing pickleball but this is like a almost a 30 minute drive for me yeah i'm spending money and then just these two moms are our competition tonight um one of them is just like your regular like whatever johnson county mom the other one looks a little sporty and she looks a lot like you brenda song is looked like brenda song's mom we'll just call her that okay um some people out there will know who she is no okay well i'm not gonna explain it to you just just imagine just yeah the people know so they're like we get there right before the game like you guys want to warm up a little bit before we start we're like sure

we'll warm up a little bit we're hitting it back they're just like song yeah i know her oh you look at her now she's on new girl it looks exactly like whatever that girl's mother probably looks like is who we're playing against okay we are warming up against them brenda song's mom multiple times just whiffs just misses the ball hitting it back to me so i'm like oh boy here we go they're hustling you they did dude for real they did for real game starts brenda song's mom fires it past me fire like gets it past me like the serve like gets past me the serve i don't well it wasn't like i think like backed me up like backpedaled me up and i just hit it into the net i was like oh my gosh i look at gunner he looks back at me and we're like,

what have we got ourselves into? Did they make any reaction? No, they didn't. They were straight face. And I, yeah, it was awesome.

I was like, I wish Brad could have seen this, but it doesn't stop there. They, they get up one point, two point, three point. It gets up to like six to zero.

Now we're down to Brenda's hogs, mom and her friend. What do you play to? You play to 11. Oh, you have to win five out of five games to like make it to the championship yeah and so it was just like oh my it was so funny just like all of a sudden getting so aggravated and competitive towards these middle-aged women like i'm way more athletic than you why are you beating me right now but ultimately

it came down to one of those things like gunner and i don't don't pickle very often so shook the rust off and end up coming back and beat him that game that game was actually a really good game like we're like diving on like we gotta win like you have you have to win every single point pretty much like yeah eventually and we uh come back and win and end up winning five to zero but it was i i just so wish someone would have been there to observe that first serve of the day it was wild i think it was smoking at me did you ever see the fresh Prince episode wherever the guy acted like he couldn't play pool and then, uh, just hustles will.

I've seen white people can't jump though. White men can't jump. Oh yeah. Yeah. Clearly. Uncle Phil comes in is like struggling. He's like, what do you say? $50 a ball. And uncle Phil's like so nervous. Oh, $50 a ball. I don't know. And then he loses a few. And then he like, you're like, I don't think I can play anymore. He's like, let's do a hundred dollars a ball. He's like, oh, I guess so. And he has his butler Jeffrey with him. He goes, Jeffrey. And then he changes his voice tone, breakout Lucille.

And he brings out this pool stick and it was, he just whoops him it was awesome so did he keep whooping him or did he break even for the night i think he probably won his money back and then some okay will was ecstatic and then they had a uh you know a moment where they taught a lesson like hey that's what you get for trying to hustle here but so he hustled him back yeah he hustled he hustled this other guy that hustled will but said ed said hey don't do that even though i did it you can't bully my son because i'm gonna bully you yeah you red-headed little freak parents don't love you you loser yeah that's a valuable lesson uh before we get to our next thing rad guess what what we have a brand new sponsor this week and he's a friend of mine again you got friends everywhere that want to pay us money

What did you do today? Tell me about your diet. What'd you eat? What'd you drink? What have I done today? The puns are out of control. I don't know, man. I had a good day with Hattie. Hattie and I were hanging out for a while. I was playing something called Dr. Daddy with her. How does that work? She would come and she would say, hello, my name's Hattie. And we'd shake hands. And then she would come and sit on my hello my name's hattie and we'd shake hands

and then she would come and sit on my lap and i would say what hurts and then she would make up something and then i would give her an examination which is really just like making some funny noises and then she wanted an x-ray and then i would kiss whatever hurts and then she would leave and come back like two seconds later thanks for the full uh full run that was the play by that was the yeah 100 well i bet that was probably. That's probably why you're on one today. If you guys, you know, we're not, you know, we're not,

what am I trying to say? We know that people skip some podcast ads, but I'm telling you, if you skipped this week, you might really want to go back and listen to some of the things

Brad just said. It was awesome. My goal is to make the ads more entertaining than anything else in the podcast. I know. Yeah, they really are.

I'm like, man, this is like some of our best stuff. So go back and listen to those. That's funny. Okay. Anyway, should we get to some voice memes? Voice, voice, memes. I'll take that as a yes.

We got three this week. Holy cow. That's almost four. Almost four. All right. That's my cue. Yeah, so this is where I hit spacebar. I understand.

Go to downloads. No, I don't do it that way. Oh. Hey, Jake and Brad. This is Hallie from Madison, Wisconsin, and I have a question for you. If you suddenly found yourself on stage for your own TED Talk with no prior planning, what's a random topic you know enough about that you could talk about for 18 minutes? Love the podcast, guys.

I listen early in the morning when I'm out walking the cold, dark streets of Wisconsin with my headlamp, and it is the thing that keeps me going and laughing and having a great morning walk. Keep up the great work. Oh, I love that. Okay, a lot to unpack here. I thought she was going to say, like,'m walking my dog or, but she is walking her headlamp. She's walking with her headlamp. Just, I'm curious. I'd like to ask you a voice memo question. Now you choose to just walk in the dark. Well, no, Hey, you have to introduce

yourself. Oh, sorry. Hey, this is Jake. Um, first time caller from Kansas city, Missouri. You do like walking in the dark with a headlamp tell me more about that hey thanks for okay i'm just kidding you know uh okay so the question is ted talk yeah with no with no prior planning that's tough and we've talked on the pod before i know our episode when we were driving down to texas getting drugged in the drive-thru getting drugged at mcdonald's and maybe i thought i think that's where i talked about that I could give a TED Talk about my theory about dinosaurs. Oh, yeah. I could talk about that for a little bit, but I'll pick a new answer for today. For me, I haven't watched TED Talks in a long time, so I don't know if they still do it this way.

But I feel like sometimes they take a big thing and make it a theme that's a little bit stretched out. Like, okay, why is that talking about that one thing? They take a big thing and stretch they take like well they take like a oh no i guess they take like one bigger idea like so my my answer is talking about how uh the state of kansas shaped me as a person and because of that how you can be shaped uh as a person as well with the same qualities that i have um that's wholesome yeah which is who you are because you grew up in kansas i think so can i come help give you help you give it i don't maybe not you can forget it can i help you have it times together we'll give them it oh wait whoa whoa hey toy, hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, toy store.

Home Depot's my toy store, bro. She's from America now. I don't know. With no prior planning, it is tough. But the first thing that came to mind, just because I've given talks like this when I was working in the youth ministry, is this correlation between science and faith. I think I could do a decent amount of that

without having to look stuff up. I still remember some notes and some resources I used. So, because a lot of people think that they are enemies, I'm here to say they're friends. My mom, Georgianne Ellis, she used to always say, science, it's a God thing. How cute is that? It's a God thing.

And she kind of just like say it, it's a God thing. I might have her help give the talk. We could compare notes. I don't know if she would really have many notes about it, but she just, she agrees with you. Every few paragraphs, she could just kind of throw that in. Kind of like, yeah.

And that's why science? It's a God thing. It's a God thing. Thanks for coming, guys. Thanks for coming. That's a good question though. I really appreciate it. Sorry if.

I'm sure there's something out there that I have a really strong opinion about that I could also talk about like longer. That doesn't surprise me that there's something out there you might have a really strong opinion about that I could also talk about like longer. That doesn't surprise me that there's something out there you might have a strong opinion about. OK, OK. Oh, wait. Speaking of that, do you want to talk more about you just put up something on our Instagram last night about the Spotify? Yeah.

Let's talk about it. So first, I also if you're not following us on Instagram, it's pretty fun. Yeah. You get to see video clips of us and maybe that's about it. But we have some stories yeah there's stories there's ways to interact with us there okay anyway brad put up a tweet on his instagram story last night yeah i tweeted it on my own personal twitter account and i was like actually i kind of want to see if like no one really follows me on twitter so i was like i want to see see what the ghost

people would actually say about this um because there's that new like year in review thing let's not do it wrapped right um we're just and it's kind of a decade in review now because like it's in a decade so uh and everyone's reposting like their top five artists their top five songs all these different things and whenever i first saw people posting it i was like oh it's interesting i want to go look at my own and so i looked at it i really enjoyed looking at it it was pretty comical for me because my stuff was so mixed because of Hattie, but, um, like it was fun to look at, but then I kept seeing so many people post about it. Um, and it was don't really like have this like really strong, strong opinion about it. Um, but I just think that that Spotify rap thing is like one of those things where you are really, really interested in your own thing, but no one else is really that interested

in it. Like everyone else sees it and they're like, okay, great. Like, cool. You listen to Ben Rector a lot. That's awesome. We all know that we all listen to music. So it doesn't surprise me that. You listen to Ben Rector a lot. That's awesome. We all know that we all listen to music. So it doesn't surprise me that you also listen to music. Right. Even, even if it's like an extreme, like even if somebody said they listened to 400,

I don't know, thousand minutes this year, which maybe that is a lot, but like I would read it and maybe like, Whoa, that guy listens to a lot of music. That guy has a commute. That's the end. Yeah. That's the end of it. It's like, I, I don't think about it too much more than that. Um, the main qualm I had with this was when people would post it to their stories and be like, Oh my gosh, this is me. Not surprised. It's, it's, it's data. Yeah. It's, it's facts. It's just, it's a computer telling you what you did. Why would it be anything other than true? It's because people are so used to taking those tests like Enneagram or something. Oh, here we go. That's so true. That's so true. That is me. I did listen to Drake nonstop. He is my number one. Well, yeah. And that's, that's the thing. Like if I do have qualms with specific people,

it's the people that post their top five and it's literally like the top five artists in the world that they listened to. It's like, check out my year. Number one,riana grande three was lizzo you guys know i love lizzo you know i'm a big lizzo fan for kanya new album duh and then fifth little embarrassed sean mendez but i mean come on guys it's sean mendez guilty pleasure and it's like you and everybody else you pick the top five like billboard artist of 2019 yeah and i had somebody had somebody like comment, like I'm judging, I'm judging people based off this. Oh really? I'm not. Yeah.

I don't, I don't think either of us actually care that much. Cause I actually do look at them. I'm like, oh, okay. Interesting. It's just more like, oh wow. A lot of people want to, and even as I say this, I'm like, this is sounds a bit critical because we have a podcast. So we expect people to listen to us.

It's the same thing as anyone posting on their story. But it's just funny when things become a trend and you have to, you know. If we want to be a society that moves forward and is forward thinking, we got to ask ourselves why. Why are we doing this? Why are we buying signs that say, in this house, we root for the Jayhawks? Why are we doing this? I'll tell you why. Because Kansas Jayhawks are the greatest basketball team of all time.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk yes maybe that's what i should talk about is just how al fieldhouse is the greatest sportsman you ever but and where'd you go to college again brad i would exactly i went to kansas state university your ted talk's gonna be awesome that people are gonna that's gonna be part of it maybe that's maybe that's how i culminate it is just because sports are good doesn't mean that's all of life. So don't make all your decisions based on sports. That'd be good. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Most of the intellectuals who go to TED Talks are like super just like sports. All they can think about is sports.

And they'll be like, oh, so like you used your education for good. Like you're using your marketing degree. And I'm like, I'm self-employed making furniture now. So yeah, of course. Maybe buy some health insurance through Decent. Maybe use an SEO through Digital Resource. And maybe taking pictures of it through. Take it back as a photo.

Yes, absolutely. Okay. All right, got a little off track there, but let's go back to another voicemail. Okay. Hello. No, this is not a virginia doubtfire. This is Taylor from Atlanta. And my question is, other than my introduction, what has been the scariest moment of your life? Lucy's barking, my dog, because I think my

Mrs. Doubtfire impression scared her. So that's Lucy's scariest, but I want to hear Brad and Jake's scariest moment. How obvious was it to you that that was Mrs. Doubtfire? I kind of had that thought at first. I was like, well, that kind of sounds like a Mrs. Doubtfire quote. Yeah, it really did. Oh, I just thought this is an interesting way to start. This is a hot way to start the voice memo.

Yeah. If anybody else wants to leave us a voice memo and start it with just a one word quote from a movie and see if we can guess it, we would love that because I would not have guessed that ever. Ooh, fun game. Can you think of a one word quote from a movie that I will know what it's from? Oh, I thought of one actually. Okay, hold on.

All right. Babe! Hot rod. Okay, your turn. Plastics. That's too great. That's not a quote. That's not a quote.

Yes, it is. Okay, Mean Girls. No. Oh, what? I thought it was going to be too easy. That's not a quote. Yes, it is. Okay, Mean Girls. No. Oh, what? I thought it was going to be too easy. It's from The Graduate. Oh. I think it's from Mean Girls more.

Oh, okay. I'm telling you it's from Mean Girls more. I'm telling you. It's too easy. One word quote. Okay, I got one. Wolf of wall street nice easy again no i don't know what wolf i'll do it more in the wolf oh the office w-u-h-p-f oh no no still not that's i keep thinking these are so easy it's not the whole quote i guess i'm sorry but it's just the end of the quote wolf oh home alone yeah

buzz your girlfriend wolf nice that is good what about this one it's just the end of the quote. Woof. Oh, Home Alone. Yeah. Buzz, your girlfriend. Woof. Nice. That is good. What about this one? It's technically, I think, one word. read the yes oh you're not very smart they're dumb and dumber yes really yeah lloyd has a little trouble reading okay anyway back to the question when have we been scurred i have an answer okay mine's probably not as good as yours so i'm gonna say it first so that you can okay you know i'll give the appetizers you get the main course appetizers um

i was scared so i i proposed to my wife um that's how you get married is you have to get down on one knee and say will you marry me okay um and you did this to katherine i did katherine hansen at the time yeah i'm one for one so far cool um so i proposed to her at canicuck where we worked at the time where we met and had this big long day planned i can go into all the details but i won't um but proposed to her got down on one knee on this bridge that we were on that we like used to like sit at the bridge all the time it was late at night whatever proposed said will you marry me and she had her hands over her face oh no like this and she started i think she

was just in disbelief that i was because because she truly was surprised that i was proposing way to go i don't think she saw it coming at all you know because i had to because like we weren't technically dating at the time so i think it just like really shocked her like i just met her last week like i was like katherine right yeah yeah okay just a second uh yeah no but she had her hands on her face and she was in disbelief. And you know, sometimes like, like you're in disbelief and you're just like, Oh my gosh. Wow. Like, you know, you're just kind of shaking your head. Like all those videos of the guys who put on the glasses where you could see colors for the first time. Yes. That's what they do for a while. They don't

really say anything for like 10 seconds. And then they start crying. They don't say anything for 10 seconds. That's the point. That's the point of this whole story is that she had her hands over her mouth, started going like putting her, like shaking her head. You're like, I should have got a bigger ring. I think it was seven seconds of silence. That's almost a full bull riding time. Okay. So let's do seven seconds of silence where I'll fake ride a bull. So no, you fake, fake propose. Okay. Catherine L Hanson, would you make me the happiest guy on this bridge and take me to be forever? Yes. Can you imagine?

You're already susceptible down on one knee. Sweaty, probably. Oh, it's humid. I'm always sweaty. And down on one knee, just with this ring that i paid more money for anything at that point i was driving a 98 infinity that wasn't that expensive no uh just had it in my hand and i was i was so sure she was gonna say yes like you're always nervous but you're always confident they're gonna say yes and then all of a sudden i was like she's gonna say

no no she's gonna say no right now and so she started you know shaking her head and then all of a sudden i was like she's gonna say no no she's gonna say no right now and so she started you know shaking her head and finally she said something i think she was just in disbelief like she didn't really like you really surprised her she didn't realize she hadn't said yes yet i think and then she said yes and we hugged and did some other i was kidding uh we hugged fireworks went off we hugged horizontally yeah exactly we went to that down the zip line if you know what i mean oh yeah just say if you know what i mean at the end of everything yeah we blobbed if you know what i mean anyway so that was my scariest scariest moment of my life for sure was you know thinking i found the perfect woman i'm

going to marry her and then she's going to say yes and she she was not for a second there was a split sec seven seconds is longer than it feels like when you say seven seconds like oh that's not very long you do it seven seconds long time long time you were afraid she wasn't gonna love you for a long time exactly 100. 100%. In multiple ways. Fashions. Yep. My scariest moment, I think I'm going to go the funny route. There's been some scary things that have happened in my life, but that's not that fun. Funny, scary.

Brad, your story was about length of time being long. This is about things that happened in a very short amount of time. So there I am at Canna Cut Camps. You're familiar, yes? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. You proposed to your baby the week there, I believe. On the bridge. the bridge okay yeah i thought you talked about that in one of our podcast episodes yeah so it is 2013 i am like a fresh yuppie little 21 year old college boy i have no reason to be on the leadership team at camp truly i don't say that humbly i say truly i don't know what they

were doing putting me on leadership staff let's be honest they were a lot of people left that summer honestly so many of us were brand new leadership. Anyway, me and my other programs guy, you know, the skit funny Stu, Stu, Stu Park. We were, it's like our first week being there. Kids have not come yet. You know, we just are brand new to all this responsibility that we have. We're in leadership. You get to drive the golf carts. Oh yeah, you do. A girl was use it. Okay. Good point. So, uh do a girl would use it okay good point so uh a girl was getting into camp late that night or other programs girls like let's be the first ones to welcome where it's gonna be so exciting here are a few things that were said leading up

to this golf cart ride oh i remember one of them doesn't have the governor on it yet we should take that one oh i know which one it is it It doesn't have headlights though. Hey, no problem. Sure. That was really- What could go wrong? The only, well- Use a headlamp from Wisconsin. Use, when you're on your walks. I thought it was Minnesota.

It's not. Oh, oh, don't you know I screwed it up. Oh, okay. So- Oh, geez. But it was a full moon. It truly was very easy to see at night. We're driving up the football field.

And as long as you're like out in the open, like a full moon is pretty bright in the middle of summer right and you're out yeah you're out in the middle of nowhere out in the middle of a football field a soccer field and so and it's it's like 11 o'clock at night it's fun it just feels great we're driving golf carts and so we're like hooping and hollering and just like having a good time and then i i don't even know how to properly emphasize how quick these things happen but truly just next thing i know i'm on the ground seriously i'm on the ground and i look up and the golf cart is probably like 15 feet away from me which is a long distance i'm on the ground i look across me stew is on the ground you go is the is it you go stride in the cart no the golf

cart is behind us oh the golf cart is behind where we just came from. You went 15 feet forward. So yeah, I'm just so confused and scared because I don't know what just happened. Like it felt like at that point in time, Hunger Games is pretty popular. And you remember Hunger Games 2 catching fire where there's that dome, that bubble where you touch it and it's like a force field. Okay. It truly, that was my first thought, which is funny.

I guess I think it was, I think I was reading the book at the time. Is that what they do when somebody dies yeah uh i was like we had a force field it's crazy that like i'm just on the ground now and i was driving a second ago i was driving and so stew and i were like like what just happened he's like dude you're bleeding so bad so i got blood running all down my face I look up like from my seated position and there's a slack line above me. It's like, I was going to guess clothesline, but I was like that clotheslines aren't strong enough for a non-governator. So we're going, yeah. Who knows how fast and this non-governed golf cart and right between the football and soccer field, which we can see so well, there's just two trees. They were casting a shadow over the slack line. So couldn't see it at all. Very much invisible at nighttime. And so we just ran this thing and it basically just catapulted the golf

cart back and just dropped us in a second. So you think you fell off the sides or in the front? We fell off the front. So I got like rammed with one of the poles and like my forehead. Oh my gosh. Yeah. And it was just like our first week on leadership. We just got all this responsibility. Did you do it again after that? Like on on purpose because you could probably have some crazy times we were pretty curious like i would really like to see video of this like how did it get shot back so far and like how fast did we go out of this thing like there was no time to process like i've been at car accidents and you're processing like right i'm in an accident it's happening right now this was just so fast and so we ended up still

like we're right next to the parking lot. So we still go pick up Emily. And we pick her up in this golf cart that's like super broken now. It looks like a smart car kind of thing. And she's like, y'all, y'all can't prank me on the first night. What's going on? Oh my God, y'all got fake blood? Okay. And I'm like, no, Emily, seriously, we just like got in this accident.

It's ketchup. It's ketchup. Yeah. And I'm like, seriously, like this is real. And then we drive back to camp and yeah, everyone's out just making fun of us, laughing at us. Like I have to drive with my head out of it to get back to camp. And it was a scary moment. It was scary when it happened and then scary, like how much trouble am I about to get in?

Cause I just wrecked this golf cart. I had a similar, I'm not going to say it, but I had a similar experience where I thought I wrecked it really bad. And I was just, that was my first reaction was where you're on leadership. Yeah. My first year. That's great. Yep. Great question. I think we have one more voice memo and then we'll go from there. We'll wrap this up. Hi, Jake and Brad. My name is Kellen King and I am, um, voice memoing you from Hudson, Wisconsin. I am a mom of a one and a half year old. I have another one on the way in May. And this question is mainly for Brad because Brad's the dad. And my question is,

well, I have my son, Odin, hates brushing his teeth. Doesn't like it. I don't know if it tickles or what, but I wrote a song for him to help him kind of brush his teeth, make it easier. And I'll share it with you in just a sec. Um, but I was wondering if you have any songs that you sing for Hattie that makes, um, some chores a little bit easier for her. I'll just share a little bit. It goes brush, brush, brush your teeth, make them nice and clean. Brush, brush, brush your teeth. I think you know what I mean. I'll leave you hanging there.

But there's a second verse. But thanks. Love the podcast. Bye. Wow. Great song. Buddy loves brushing them teeth. I'm going to have to listen to that one again.

Great Odin's Raven over there. Odin's Raven about that song. I'll tell you that much right now. That's so Raven. It's the teeth that I can brush. That's so Raven. Concentric circles on your molars. Gosh, I wish I did something better there.

That's okay. No, it's tough to parody in a moment. It is? Anyway, do you- You guys, it is hard. Yeah, Brad does it week after week for you guys. I never practiced before this. Do you have any songs that you sing?

How do you though? Um, not even, I like, I'm sure I've made them up, but I don't like consistently sing the same ones that I make up. Like you remember the song. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise you. The Lord. You remember that song? Yes. Let me try to guess what you do that for. Put on your shoe,

put on your shoe, put on your shoe. Is that it? No, it's actually when we're cutting bamboo cut the bamboo bamboo yeah put it over there no just when she was little we just say hattie lou hattie lou oh just for a name that's fun and we sing clean up clean up um barney first of all yeah how clean up clean up what's the next line? Everybody everywhere. Thank you. You're welcome.

Catherine says everybody do your share and then everybody everywhere. No, no, no, Catherine. I'm not trying to put her on blast too much because she is a babe, but she's kind of... What's she doing? Southern. Kind of a dingus. I didn't say it. Hey, let's scrub that from the record.

Yeah, I don't have too many great songs. Scrub it. Redact it, Toby. Redact it. Red say it. Hey, let's scrub that. Scrub that from the record. Yeah, I don't have too many great songs. Scrub it. Redact it, Toby. Redact it. Redact it. That's okay. You don't need to force a song. Let's think about other songs that could be the Hattie Lou song or the Hallelujah song.

Okay, there's a T-Pain song that I really like. Maybe I've talked about it before. Okay. This would be, I'm trying to think what the parody would be your pajamas change your diaper change your diaper and put on your pajamas that's nice i don't i don't even know that song very well anyway uh sorry i don't have a better answer for you i am a good dad but, but I don't. I sing normal songs. I'm sorry. I sounded like I don't think you're good. I am a good guy who hits people with their car.

All right. That's what I want to convey. We do love singing songs. And like, well, there are some times where she'll be like, dad, you know, because at night we always pray and then we sing a song and then I put her to bed. We read, pray, sing a song. And sometimes she'll be like, I you to sing the the truck song we were saying carol the bells one time she requested she is yeah how do i gotta look this one up no but sometimes she just makes up like i want you to sing

i want you to sing jake's song about his hair and it's like i have no idea so i just make stuff up and she likes them and then she'll like the next night be like mom like when cather's going to bed i want you to sing jake's song about his hair and then she'll try to say something and she'll be like that's not it that's you know whatever it's pretty funny and then catherine will come and be like what's what's you know what's that song hey can you transcribe for me the the hair song i never i never remember it so it's it's actually just uh larry the cucumbers where is my hairbrush from veggie tails that song oh here's a question i don't know if i've ever really talked about this with anyone do you have like a default song that's stuck in your head like if there's no song stuck

in your head it goes back to this one yeah okay cool because i have that too i don't know if other people have that i know yours yeah mine's embarrassing it's it's it's one of those boys uh one of those boys it's like a yeah beautiful soul. Beautiful soul. Is that it? Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it's called. I don't want just anyone to hold. So do you sing it to yourself sometimes?

It's just in my head. Yeah. If there's no other song there, it goes back to that. I can't shake it. Wow. That's interesting. Mine,

mine is much more random and not as exciting as that. Uh, it is embarrassing. It is from a live performance from mute math. Uh, a live performance. Yeah. It's not in like the recorded version of the song,

but he just ad-libs this thing where he goes, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. And I have that in my head all the time. That's kind of cool. Yeah. Nice. But that's it. I would love to know what other people's are as well.

Because, yeah, it sounds like that's a normal thing, I guess. Everyone has that. Yeah. So either follow us on ghost runners podcast or, uh, leave us five star review if you haven't already and let us know on podcast.com on apple.podcast.com. Uh,

that reminds me, we should go over our reviews of the week because we got some good ones. I, oh yeah, sorry. I'm going first cause I don't want you to steal it. Okay. Uh, if I can pull it up. Oh, it's this one from Ellie in Indiana, Ellie, Indiana, Ellie, Indiana, Ellie, Indiana,

music man. I thought it was like a tongue twister. Unique New York, Ellie, Indiana, red leather, yellow leather. Did you see that one person that said, I nailed that by the way. Yeah. Somebody, somebody messaged us on Instagram this week and said, I want you to say toy boat four times fast or something like that. Oh, no. I didn't see that. And I responded as Donald Trump and I nailed it. I didn't practice it once.

I just nailed it. Let's hear it. Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat, toy boat. Okay. I have incredible amounts of boats, yachts, international to China. Okay. Incredible. And then I also bathe with boats, my boats in the toys section.

I'll tell you what, the marina is my toy store. Okay. I'm only going to say toy boat four times. I have many more boats, way more boats than four toy boats. Ellie in Indiana. Toy boat. Wow. Why is that more boats, way more boats than four toy boats. Ellie in Indiana. Toy boat. Wow. Why is that so hard? The O sound. I don't know why it's so hard for Donald Trump because I bet it's my normal voice. Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat, toy boat. I'm pretty good at it. You're just a linguist. Yikes. Okay. What did Ellie say? She just said, thank you so much for your fun podcast. Having clean comedy makes such a difference for people, especially those who

struggle with feeling down or depressed. You're making a positive impact by lifting people's moods that's a big deal and qualifies you as a podcast of substance that is cool and it's cool yeah and it's like that's that's not the first time we've heard something like that and obviously jake and i don't think of ourselves as like changing the world through this podcast but there's been times where people are like we also don't think of ourselves as completely lacking substance or purpose well but i did i did last people are like, we also don't think of ourselves as completely lacking substance or purpose. Well, but I did, I did last week say something about like, we don't have much value in ours, you know, but like, yeah, we think we're funny and we're fun and we have a lot of fun doing this, but you know, yeah, we don't always just

imagine like, oh, they're just going to get their, their day's going to be so changed for the better because they listen to this and they're going to be motivated to do their job differently, you know, but we've had people that are like, I'm going through a hard time and you know, this is really helpful to me. Like, so I just appreciate you guys making me laugh. And so that's really cool to hear stuff like that. Um, and it's genuinely like, yeah, so fun and humbling and like exciting to us to be like, wow, like people are enjoying this stuff. So just, it really is crazy it is crazy is it anything i'm like i hope it never doesn't get crazy you know i hope it always feels crazy to me you know i mean

like probably once a week we have like a text conversation where i'll be like i'll screenshot you something i'm like look at this this is crazy that this is happening it's crazy and obviously it's like nothing is even that that it's like we're blowing up and a million people are listening to this it doesn't take much for us to feel like i know this is wild oh it's so sweet though so thank you yeah to ellie in indiana and everybody that just says kind words to us we really uh it warms our hearts my favorite review this week there were a lot of them one just said ls custom creations.com that was the entire content of the review which did you see that was from emily matt eight you think that was josh madison's uh wife emily could be just had lunch with him he did not bring it up but could have been uh that's funny i didn't even notice that

my favorite review because it uh yeah it hit home it was especially uh related to me it was really nice five star review he said amazing what a masterpiece listening to jake and brad talk to each other for an hour to every week is such a blessing only complaint is that jake misused the word irony the week after they went on a rant about it. And, uh, he actually left the timestamp. I haven't went back and listened to that spot, but I remember when I was saying it, I remember being like, Oh, like in my head, I was like, I don't know if I'm using this right. Like I'm still going to say it, but I don't know if I'm saying it right. So it's funny. He called me out on it. Here's the funny thing. I went back and looked at that timestamp. I was the one that said ironic

at that point. And I wasn't going to bring it up because I was like, yeah, Jake's such a, you know, bad linguist. So maybe in my head I was thinking, I don't know if Brad, I don't know if I should correct Brad. That's not ironic, Brad.

Or maybe you said it as well, but I specifically listened to that timestamp and I was talking about how it was ironic that one of Catherine's other sisters got the white elephant gift or something like that. It's hard not to use it. it was ironic because she was also going to get one the next day and they knew that which i think that is ironic is it not like if it's like oh we all

know that she's about to get that as a present but she's fighting for this now even though tomorrow she's going to get another one i don't know let's ask uh a Alexander Herr, kind of the irony police of the pod. I like that when you tell me, write Herr. Write Herr. When your grandmas are so good and your name's Alex Herr. Speaking of irony, I actually randomly read a story this week.

This is pretty funny. I think you'll love this because you love anything old and nostalgic. Oh, no, I just love anything. I know you're going to love this. Do you remember the old commercials then they were like you wouldn't steal a car you wouldn't steal a purse so why would you steal someone's copyrighted music do you remember those commercials i don't remember i remember those types of commercials where they're talking about like those things i don't remember that one specifically those types of commercials where they're talking about like those things. I don't remember that one specifically.

I, oh, it's like so vivid in my brain. Like these like intense heavy metal, like just commercials and like, yeah, it was like, it would scare you into like all these things, like all this terrible crime. Oh yeah. The irony is that, uh, the company who made that commercial, they got sued for like a million dollars for not getting clearance to use that song. That music? Yeah. The song they didn't have the rights to.

No way. They got sued for a lot of money. Oh, that's awesome. use that song. That music? Yeah, the song they didn't have the rights to. No way. They got sued for a lot of money on that commercial. Beautiful irony. We're in jail. Put some money on my books. I smoke Marlboro. The owner of Napster's trying to kill me. Bear share guy has a shift.

Oh no, here comes LimeWire. 12 years from now, Spotify Raps will ruin your Instagram for you. Oh man. They want me to be their toy store. What? I don't know. Oh, like prison. Got it. Yeah, don't know like prison got it sorry got it got it got it my throat hurts i'm gonna stop that does hurt i should have chose a different heavy metal song that's good uh reviews of the week yeah thank you guys for the reviews we are at 289 so i can't wait to hit 300 by next week oh that'll be fun passive aggressive challenge we did hit a thousand instagram followers by the way did we really oh yeah oh yeah you didn't feel it is that what that

was yeah i thought i just shifted a little bit that's why i couldn't squeeze on my toothpaste that's why that's why your toothpaste came out a little slower one last thing i want to say and then we can wrap this up we can be done but a big shout out to our girl rachel askew for our new logo this is our first podcast to be posted with a new logue yeah and it looks awesome we've also got another girl who's going to be helping us out our instagram is about to get a little makeover soon hello so uh speaking of mrs doubtfire move that bus ty pennington watch out big old makeover what did you say what did you just say ty in his way that's doing it is what i tried to say but is that kind of how he sounded though i think he had like uh yeah energetic rasp

yeah hey gang no that's more what it was i'm trying to like place it like uh i imagine him kind of like done for you guys the the cheesy stepdad character from Liar Liar. He's like, hey, sport. Oh, you want to play catch later? Yeah, I got a new club. We're going to put a big rubber band around it. That character is so good. He does such a good job with that.

It's the claw. Okay, Jerry. Jerry's such a perfect name for that, too. Oh, my throat. DiPennington's Oasis. That was great. Brad, you got anything else? I do have one thing.

We always have to check in with something that's going on with Chick-fil-A with us. Of course. Because we're there. It's our second home. I don't have a cup with me today. It sucks. It does. I'm sorry, James.

The straw specifically sucks. But we were at Chick-fil-A this week with Isaac and Peter. with me today. It sucks. It does. I'm sorry, James. The straw specifically sucks. We were at Chick-fil-A this week with Isaac and Peter and this woman came up to us and her name is Victoria. I'm so glad you remembered this. She would pronounce it Victoria.

So I'm just going to say that. And she's wonderful. She's there every single day. Like every single time we are. And she comes by and asks us if we want more drinks. And it's kind of an inside joke, A, that I drink so much more than everybody else. Like Brad never says no to a drink. Never. And he's drinking out of a large cup too.

That's right. The other day they gave me a medium. And you're like, I can't wait to see you just devour that thing. Oh, yeah. They're going to be basically running suicides getting your drinks back and forth. Touch the wall, come back. I was like, oh, that's like giving eight gallons to an you just devour that. Oh yeah. They're going to be basically running suicides, getting your drinks back and forth. Touch the wall, come back. I was like,

Oh, that's like giving eight gallons to an 18 wheeler, you know, gas, like Brad run to the other side. But she came up and she was like more drink. And I think you and Isaac both asked for more drinks, right?

I just wish everyone out there listening could have seen this. Give me such a hard time for this. So Isaac and Jake both said, yes, I would like more drinks. So she had two cups in her hand and she would like kind of do a little marking on the styrofoam to know which cup is which. Hieroglyphs. And then she looked at me, she said, more drink. And I was very surprised that she was going to do more than two drinks at once.

And so it was probably one of those situations, kind of like the whole, she's from America now, like where I was trying to be too kind to the, you know, English as a second language person. Way, way over the top with it. And I go, oh, three. And I like held up the three, like. Oh, you want three cups with his fingers? You can do three cups. I probably talked to her like she was a kindergartner, but like, I was just trying to be kind and

like kind of goofy. Like, oh wow, three. You're so amazing. But then even you kept going. I did. Okay. What I want is 70%. I was asking for an Alder Plumber.

And so I wanted, yeah, half unsweet tea, half lemonade. And so I had to, and a lot of people don't understand the difference between unsweet and sweet unless you talk slowly. Americans even. Yeah. I'll take unsweet tea and lemonade uh sweet tea or unsweet tea unsweet unsweet tea and lemonade so i didn't want to i want to be clear from the get-go yeah so i can i get half and i did i did the motions half with your fingers half unsweet tea half lemonade and you guys just gave me the hardest time it was amazing it was so it was just so over the top like condescending to this woman i did not and maybe that's why i got in trouble at that town topic that one time where i did not mean it to be condescending i was simply trying to be nice to

victoria so you're not gonna live that down for a while with isaac and i okay i'll take two honey barbie honey honey roasted honey roasted barbecue sauce two uh and then uh we were there jake and i were there the other day with hattie and uh we were in like the booth right next to the play place jake and i were just talking hanging out eating our food hattie was in the play place running up and down the slide. And then these two kids come in, a brother and a sister, and they were a little bit rowdy. They ended up being bullies, like genuine bullies. Sister was probably five, six maybe. I'm terrible at guessing that kind of stuff.

Hattie ended up on the ground one time? Not because there was an earthquake. Where she got pushed down and I went in and I was like, hey, we need to be careful. You get your hands off my daughter. I was like, I'm so glad Catherine's not. Get your hands off my daughter. I know. I was like, I'm so glad Catherine's not here, or else heads would roll. Oh, my gosh.

But I walked in there, and Hattie was okay. She was like, I'm fine. She's like, I'm cool. I'm cool, Dad. Hey, Dad, I'm straight, dude. Hey, Dad. Hey, no problem. No problem.

We're just dapping it up real quick. Hey, I'm just trying to slide right now. If you give me some space, I'm trying to slide. Then it happened so then later on i was watching them and this little girl took hattie's bow off her head which is just a misdemeanor by itself i think yes and then just blatantly pushed her over and right away i knocked on the window just hard on that glass and i said hey i don't know what i said don't do that knock it off quit it and she just came literally right up to the window face on on the glass i'm probably i'm probably 18 inches away from this girl folded her arms and just like looked at me didn't didn't emotionless just looked at me like kind of

kind of a little bit. She challenged you. Of a scowl. She let you know, like I'm the alpha in this playground. She stepped up to me. Yeah. And there's nothing you can do about it. You little beta. It really, really was.

I was a, I was a beta. And so I said, okay. So I went in there and got Hattie and we left. We did leave. We're like, it's, it's over Hattie. We're not, we're not, we're not associated with these kind anymore. And so we left. I still think about that girl every night before I go to bed. It's over, Hattie. We're not associated with these kind anymore. And so we left.

And I still think about that girl every night before I go to bed. I'm like, that girl, I should have. I'm going to push that girl down. I'm going to take that girl and no, I'm not going to be violent to a little girl. Okay. But I was frustrated. It was hard. And I think about, you know, I'm never going to let hattie hang out with another girl ever again probably or just make i it's dangerous to make friends because you don't know what they're they can do right so i would say don't just hey your mom and your dad are your

friends okay baby yeah and they're your teachers and they're your sunday school teachers we're going to home school home church home church and uh that's it we're going to home church right now just the family room. Yeah. Hattie loves it. One last thing that I want to talk about, which is so counter of what we talked about earlier and a counter to your tweet, but we made a big deal about this at the beginning of the season.

So I feel like we owe it to the certain, you know, maybe people out there who are football fans. We made a big deal about our fantasy football draft at the beginning of the season. You were feeling real good because you drafted all chiefs. Oh, oh baby i was feeling real bad because in an unprecedented move i spent only 85 dollars out of a hundred dollar budget this is every dollar is so important and i just i every dollar dave ramsey i fudged up yeah and so anyway brad how's

your season been it's it's like playoff time so that's why i'm bringing this up it was just funny that you're asking this because that was my example of like things that uh oh yeah i guess i forgot to explain it yeah and other people don't enjoy uh listening to our your analysis of your fantasy football team and the spotify rap thing but let me tell you about my uh team i think we have a podcast the dynamic is different so go on for sure 100 uh i have two. First league is my family league and I feel like my team is so good, but I have the worst record in the league. So it sounds like they're not that good. I don't know what I, yeah, but they like put up points. I don't know what's going on with them. You have the worst record in the league. I think I, yeah, I think I'm tied with my aunt. My aunt plays because we needed one more spot. And Cindy? And Cindy, 70 years old.

And I don't know if this needs a lot of analysis. Sounds like your team's just not that good. They should be though. I've been plagued by injuries a little bit. I got, I had James Connor with my second pick. Ezekiel was my first pick, not injured, but James Connor was really the big one that hurt me a lot. And I just picked the wrong people every week.

Like that's, that's the main issue. And, and I just picked the wrong people every week. Like that's, that's the main issue. Um, and then my other, my other league also very bad. Oh no. With the chiefies. Yeah.

Because Tyree kill and Patrick Mahomes have just like traded off being hurt. Yeah. Being mediocre. Um, and then I got McCall Hardman and I got chief defense, which was kind of a joke, but I, I let her let it ride with them.

They've, they're not very good. Um, and just then again, just pick the wrong guys. Like Christian Kirk is on both my teams. And every week I start him, he sucks. Every week I don't start him, he does very well. You got to trick yourself.

I know. All right, Christian, not starting you. 11.45 AM. You're in there. Go get them, buddy. That's the other issue is that I forget about Vans football. It's not like a huge deal to me. And then I remember about 1120 on Sunday mornings,

which is when we're in church and I pull out my phone and I get a little elbow nudge from the old ball and chain saying, Hey, get off your phone. I'm like, so I just, there was one week where I just like, honey, I'm, I'm the best team in the league. I just have a two and nine record. Or I start, I will. I've started a few guys that were like out, like that were ruled out like last minute and stuff like that.

Yeah. Don't do that. I know. So anyway, speaking of Ezekiel Eller really quickly, the reason that's even on my mind is because I was talking about it with Peter and Isaac last night. It's kind of a weird, random funny thing. When I was in Dallas, when I was living in Dallas, I kind of talked to this girl for a little bit and I found out that her previous boyfriend was Ezekiel Elliott. I was like, not bad, Jake. Kind of, but also I was like, I don't know if we're going to share a lot of the same qualities.

The fact that you dated him tells me, I don't think we're going to work out that well. He always does that thing where he's eaten out of a bowl. You love cereal, you know, like he's always eating. You're like, oh, Cap'n Crunch. Totally. He also has a nose ring. Uh-huh. And you-

Is a professional running back. You know your rings very well. Oh, the Ariana Grande song. Or what? I don't know. Your engagement rings, your ring of honor. Five golden rings. Christmas. Oh. Oh, you're parodying i was just

going for it anyway that's just i i probably have not thought of that in two years and then last night i thought of it and here ezekiel it's coming back my life again so we are uh we're not dating never did date but i think of ezekiel it is kind of a um what do they call it secondhand soup snake is that what it's called? I don't know what you're talking about. Well, I mean, I just made it up obviously, but soup snake from the office. Yeah. Okay.

Whatever. Sorry. I didn't get it. Anyway, my fantasy team, Brad, I started three and six. All hope was lost. I have won four games in a row. I'm in the playoffs. Team is heating up 85% of the budget.

Take that Dave Ramsey. I'm doing it. Who Team is heating up 85% of the budget. Take that Dave Ramsey. I'm doing it. Who are your players? Oh, it doesn't matter that much. We don't have to get talking to specifics. You're doing great. Yeah. I'm just curious how you started three and six and then all of a sudden are resurging. Well, I did. I made a lot of bad mid-season moves. Basically, if I dropped or traded a guy, he was absolutely about to go off like six weeks in of Latavius Murray on my bench. Like why am I even wasting a roster spot in the sky? Next week, Kamara gets hurt. So Latavius Murray goes in as a starter for two weeks, lights me up for 40 points against myself. It was like, I stabbed myself in the chest. That is the worst. Whenever you, yeah, whenever you like make a specific move and then the other

person now has that person. It just kills you. Yeah. Happened multiple times. Hunter Henry was on the IR at one point. So I dropped him. He comes back, lights me up also for like two touchdowns in his first game against me. Remember me? Yeah. So basically anyone I dropped, it was just a terrible decision, but recently just been making the right moves. Got a good receiving core. Oh yeah. Except 25 of my dollars. So heavy percentage, like, you know, over like close to a third of it, over a third of it went to Adam Thielen who doesn't even play football basically. So like my starting lineup, well, who doesn't even play football, basically. So like my starting lineup. He doesn't?

Well, he's been injured for a long time. Oh, yeah. Okay. He was on my team last year and he was awesome. Yeah, that's why I spent $25 on him. He hasn't really played this year. I'm just working with scrubs. This is a true Indiana Hoosiers story.

I'm about to take him to the gymnasium beforehand and measure the goal. See, guys? It's 10 feet tall. Jimmy something. Yeah. Yeah, Jimmy. It's 10 feet tall. Jimmy something. Yeah, Jimmy. When he goes across that picket fence. Do you know what I'm talking about? No. Jimmy, what's his name?

You don't know the picket fence in Hoosiers? No, sorry. What? I'm distracted by Jimmy's last name. What's his last name? Jimmy Chitwood. Yeah, if you know the movie, you should know the picket fence part. That's why I'm so surprised. When he asked... That's the play they run to score the game-winning point. Oh, that's the name movie you should know the picket fence part that's what i'm so surprised when he asked and do you know like that's the play they run to win score the game winning point the picket fence oh i'm sorry i'm sorry i thought you meant a literal picket fence you know gene hackman he grew up with the white picket fence right that's

what i was kind of confused about oh my bad um whatever that's that's enough football talk but it's like no more football talk about hoosiers. Yeah. That's enough. Indiana Hoosier football talk for one episode. That's all I really need to talk about. I think that's enough for episode 31. We're going to say, do you have any preview of next? Like what's, what's happening for you this upcoming week? You got any, any Christmas things going? Oh, we could talk about, it was a decent chance guys that Brad and I are going to get to go indoor skydiving this week oh i would say uh yeah more than decent okay 85 i mean we don't know that's gonna happen so there's a decent chance yeah pretty good chance uh a girl reached out and was like hey we're doing a thing of some promotion with local influencers you know i was like yeah i can i can see if jake wants to come to
