One of the first times that Rachel and I ever hung out, we talked about something, and I wrote it down in my standup notes. And first of all, I was like, this is a great sign. I'm already getting material out of this girl. Yeah. But I don't think I've ever talked about it since that moment, so I want to bring it up.

There are a couple of things in life that I feel like Hollywood and just American culture have led us to believe are sexy, flirty gestures. And I think there's some of the more least attractive things you could do. Two examples. One, eating a chocolate-covered strawberry. You ever watch someone eat that?

It's crumbly. It's just drippy. It's like, ah. Yeah, it's drippy. It's crumbly. If you've got it fresh, it's going to be dripping. If you've got it,

it's a day later, it's like the turtle shell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't get it in one clean bite. If they take a clean bite, like one clean bite, then it's like, that's not sexy at all. It's like a really... You have to be very aggressive with it, like... You know what I mean? Like, you can't

just really, like, slowly... Yeah, the most of... The best way to eat a chocolate-covered strawberry would be to just house the whole thing. But that's not sexy. Just when they're not looking, they're just throwing it in your mouth. Maybe just a strawberry, no chocolate. Would that be better? That's probably better. Yeah. Even then, though, you get a juicy one, and're just throwing it in your mouth. Maybe some strawberry, no chocolate. Would that be better? That's probably better.

Yeah. Even then, though, you get a juicy one, and you still got to... Yeah, true. Sorry, sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. But then the big one... No, I'm from Iowa. Iowa, yeah.

Yeah? I play volleyball in Iowa. Yeah, yeah. Corn and soybeans. I do play Tom Cobb, but I'm not like a Tom Cobb. It's just a crazy question. Excuse me. The big one is, I don't know why we were told this is like a cool thing,

but tying a cherry stem in your mouth? Why is that cool? Yeah. Have you ever seen someone try to do it? Yeah. It's like, okay. Hold on. Hold on.

Oh, man. It's giving me trouble this one's shorter two brothers oh i'm gonna get stuck sorry sorry oh oh oh i think this tight beat means that it's going down With some random thoughts and white meat too Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet Cause it's the Ghost Rubs Podcast Ghost Rubs Podcast

Everybody morning, we're taking round Ghost Rubs Podcast Ghost Rubs Podcast Shout out Rachel for that bit. And also, you should do that on stage. You could pull that off way better than I could. So that's great. So what, like, were you talking about that with Rachel? I remember.

Or was she trying to seduce you? I was like, hey, stop. Stop. It's not working. You look hideous. I like like, hey, stop. Stop. It's not working. You look hideous. I like you less now. I'm boiling angry at you right now.

No, I remember, I think we went on kind of a group hangout, two Topgolf actually. Okay. And I think like Isaac or somebody had like a wild cherry Pepsi. Yeah. Had a cherry. Somehow we get talking about like anybody ever actually tried doing a cherry stem and I think Rachel was the one who said it's actually one of the least attractive things you can do. I was like, that's so good. Well, yeah, it's

true. It's so funny. My sister is the only person I know that can do it. And so of course, I'm not like a track. You agree. It's very unattractive. Like the only person I know in real life that like ever did that was my sister. It's like my sister. My mom are great at it. Gross.

Congrats to my brother-in-law, I guess. I don't know. And I will say, if anything, I'm not attracted. I'm like impressed if they can do it because I don't understand. Yeah. You only have one like, what would that be called? Like one phalange of movement. How do you make a knot?

That's fair. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. Maybe that's it. It's just anything skillful is attractive. That's what it is. It's like, you see the way that guy balances those spreadsheets. My gosh. Wow. How did he do that? Yeah. That is, that is attractive. That's really neat. That guy knows what he's doing. So that's pretty good. What was your first, uh, where was, where was your first date with Rachel? Our first actual date, we went down to Westport. Okay.

Little area of Kansas City. Fun little area if you like metal detectors in Kansas City. Cute little area. Is that right? Do they do metal detectors now? You know, I feel like we have no reason to really go to Westport anymore. It's like a bar area for the most part. But I think last time I went, maybe 2020 or 2021, they had put up,'s it's like a bar area for the most part but uh i think last time i went maybe 2020 or 2021 they had put up if it's like a friday or saturday night they will install like metal detectors on the sidewalk so if you're walking in that area wow because they had a couple

yeah problems back in the day and so there's metal detectors now wow anyway we weren't quite in the thick of it we went to um what's that place that has the, they have the truck that's converted into the hamburger. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm talking about? Westport Flea Market? Yes. I was going to say Westport Ale House.

Yeah, Westport Flea Market. Yeah. Yes, we went there. Okay. I think we had dinner somewhere else, but then went there for a trivia night. Oh, fun. Just two on whoever? Or were you on a team?

Yeah, it was just us two. How'd you do? Awful. I think trivia is so hard i don't know if i've ever talked about on the podcast but these categories were especially tough it was i specifically remember one category was movie posters for movies that haven't come out yet really so they would show you a movie poster yeah and like yeah coming you know a year and a half from now yeah like i have no idea i don't know a movie that's out right now yeah you know and so and i remember one of them was like yes they got it scream nine it's like oh

i didn't know that was still a series people were making right like they need to they need to make trivia for like normal people like the only time i've ever really experienced trivia so maybe maybe i'm wrong about trivia people let us know if you want to but like i went and just had a drink with a friend while trivia was going on. And it was like, Hey, who was the runner up the year that Sandra Bullock won an Oscar in 1996? It's like runner up.

You gotta be a savant. I don't even, I didn't even know Sandra Bullock won. That seems like a long time ago for her. Yes. Good for her. Well, why?

Yeah. Why, why do people, and then like three of the four teams or whatever knew it. Like how do you, how who's knowing this? Yeah. It's like, it's like the same, Yeah, why do people... And then three of the four teams or whatever knew it. How? Who's knowing this? Yeah.

It's like the same. Jeopardy is kind of not that fun to watch because it's a little too hard, but Teen Jeopardy is right in the wheelhouse. Yes. I want Teen Jeopardy trivia night. Dude, Teen Jeopardy, you feel like a genius. Yeah, Teen Jeopardy is nice. It's awesome.

And it's like, this is all... Yeah, it's one of those things where it's a tough balance because if it's too easy, it's not if it's if you just don't know anything it's also just like well this is pointless just enough to to stroke your ego a little bit college jeopardy is okay college jeopardy the first round like the regular jeopardy before the commercial break i do i dominate second double jeopardy i'm a little bit back and forth so one of the only questions i remember getting right was of course course, the sports category. We need a feast right now. They asked some question about

this 1970s U.S. Olympic swimmer. You're going, oh, it can't be about LeBron James or something. Somehow, I pulled out of my rump Greg Louganis. It's like the only one. I was like, I don't know anybody but Greg Louganis. Yeah, exactly. I was like, I don't even know the 70s, but let's put it down.

He's not today. And hopefully Rachel was proud of me. Wow. But I got that one. This guy knows a lot about a guy's Louganis. Okay. That is not the most attractive thing in the world. You had what inside of what?

A loogie? I don't know. Okay, we got it. If you can endure just getting dominated in trivia for your first date, you guys can endure anything together. We made it fun. It wasn't just like, turn in your answer later. It was like, you have a

big whiteboard. Everyone, show your answer. So then it became fun to mess with people and ridiculous answers. Just not even close. Just making a punchline almost. Sometimes I would be like, hey, I know this one. And I would take it from Rachel. Trust me, I got this one. And write the wildest ridiculous answers like just not even close yeah just like making a punchline almost all right and sometimes i would like hey i know this one and i would take it from rachel like trust me i got this one and write the the wildest thing it just to reveal to her just to try to be funny like

i remember they asked something about it was a sports related question whatever and i remember i wrote down al roker and so that was like our inside joke for a little bit it's like i think al roker was the diving champ that yeah i mean back He didn't get gold, but he got something, right? He was skinny, and then he got big, and then he got skinny. That's how he got popular. I like the idea, and I might actually do this if you want to do this with me. Go to trivia night and just make all the everyday, not everyday, regular trivia people a little bit frustrated.

It's like, all right, three, two, one, turn them over. And everyone turned Thomas Jefferson and we don't have anything written down. And we just write Thomas Jefferson real fast and hold it up and then just deny that we were cheating. We're like, no, we didn't hear it. Like, sorry, sorry guys. Like, and maybe they'll be like, okay, fine. Like we'll give them Thomas Jefferson. All right. Three, two, one transatlantic. We're still writing it down. Dude, they're doing,

they're just, they're just waiting for you to tell me. I was not. No, we're not. We just like purposely troll these people. Just ruin the one hobby. They probably have.

And like, yeah, make it awful for him. I know. Like, or like, maybe like, Hey,

I got to go to the bathroom real fast. And as I'm like going to the bathroom, fast. And as I'm going to the bathroom, I'm looking at their answer or something. Dude, he's cheating. He's peering at our answers. No, I'm not. I have to pee. I gotta go to the bathroom. This is the most efficient route. I walk slow. It's

genetic. Oh, really? Show me what's on your phone right now. It's like, you know, somebody texted you. That's my background. Yeah. I don't know that's a fun option yeah it's just one of those things like just like pickleball or so many other things where it's like the people that are super into it are probably like just zoned in they know all the little idiosyncrasy like whatever yeah you can't do that that's technically we normally have to enforce about as against the against the rules. Right. Dude, speaking of taking

the pickleball too seriously, I forgot about it. So me and brother-in-law Joe, new friend Joe, I think I texted you. I was trying to get some people to play pickleball. Oh, I know, man.

I don't. I know it. I'm sorry. Someday. No one could go. And so just me and Joe go. Go, Joe! Don't you know?

Yeah, Joe style. Yeah. Up to the Lenexa courts these are the courts where the leagues have run rampant where they create their own music videos

music videos a little bit of stripes they create their own music music videos is a slideshow there was there was some movement yeah

and so we go up there and really had a great time together it was really fun there was a guy there and I don't want to necessarily dox him because he's the brother of someone pretty famous, so I'll tell you off the podcast.

No, he's only got a sister. Okay, go ahead. Salvador Perez. Who's there, and so it's kind of fun. This guy, I would like to think everyone at the East Courts has got to know who his brother is, so you would think he would like to think like everyone at these courts has got to know who

his brother is so he's you you would think would like need to act yeah yeah properly yeah he's the one that hosts blurry creatures aaron rogers brother oh dang it go ahead everyone's the middle games you know lenexa courts there's eight courts going on at one time you're always switching rotating and everyone just kind of goes silent because this guy is screaming at another player. Whoa. Just like verbally, just like abusing him, just like cursing at him. Same team, other team, other team. Yikes. If you don't know the score, get off these bleep and courts and just like,

he didn't say bleep in timing. Hey, newsflash time. And he said something else. He said something else. That's what the bleep in time. Hey, newsflash time, but he said something else. He said something else. That's what the bleep is for. Just losing his mind, like full-on an Andy Bernard meltdown. Like you were just so normal. What's happening? And so every court stops just to watch him. He is not deterred by this.

Keeps going in at this guy. Makes some threats. It gets kind of scary. It's like, dude dude your brother is the quarterback of the chiefs what are you doing like everyone knows who you are dude your last name is kennedy jr act appropriately act like it man dude you're jaron meyer's kid brother come Come on, man. Just chill about it. Yelling at someone. Just chill about it.

Just chill about it, dude. Oh, so everyone. A couple people did were like, dude, you need to calm down. He starts yelling at them. That's where I was curious. Like, there's got to be. There's always like the white knight of like, hey, man, come on. It's just a game.

I know it's just a game. And he's not keeping his color right. It's not fun. People cheat. Serve it. It was crazy. It's 9-5-1. We've talked about it five times now. Go.

And then he hits it in the net first time. He's like, well, you know, whatever. It was insane like that. And what's funny is Joe had already kind of established an inside joke. Like Joe lives in Lenexa. he goes to these courts a lot right so he's kind of like joking with me like this is so and so yeah this is so and so like you don't understand like you you live in china you don't get it like you don't get what we have here yeah but it did seem like he had a lot of intel he's like oh yeah i played with her one time he was he was serious he like

legitimately knew okay i mean at least one thing about all 40 people there right he's like oh this guy kind of runs the courts or whatever it's so even he's the guy that runs the facebook page yes in the middle of the dispute one guy's like hey man you need to calm down he's like yeah this guy this guy runs the courts this guy's like the head honcho and um holy anyway so we kind of like we all stop and then joe's like well let's just keep playing and so we're playing a pickleball point while this guy is just berating. Like he's just screaming at a guy. How many courts over? Quite a ways.

Like probably four courts over. We get over the point and Joe's like, guys, I'm really sorry. I served it in the middle of that. That was distracting. We can redo the point. I thought that was the right move at the time. I think we all know it was pretty distracting. We were trying to ignore it and just keep going.

And we should have stopped and pondered this a little bit more. He was so serious. He was like, guys, I'm sorry. We need to redo the plane. I shouldn't have served it while that was going on. So it happened for like, it didn't, it wasn't just like a quick outburst. It was probably like three or four minutes. It was like a long, long time.

It just like kept screaming. And the other people were getting involved. Sorry, you need to calm down. I'm not going to calm down. And then he, all because this guy didn't know the score that it was hard to know exactly what the dispute was, but he kept bringing up 10, 10, one. So it sounded like it was something with the score. It was a close know exactly what the dispute was, but he kept bringing up 10-10-1. So it sounded like it was something with the score. It was a close game at the end of the time.

It wasn't just like an in and out, you know, call. And it was just insane. And yeah, and then he really escalated and like threatened to I think injure someone else. Suggested that someone else injure themselves. Really serious stuff.

And then they threatened to call the cops on him. And so then he sits out and he's just made a complete fool of himself, made this whole scene, but then doesn't leave. And just sits there and it's just like watching the games. It's just like sitting out.

I was so intrigued by the psyche. I'm like, what's going on here? Yeah. I couldn't wait to get home to Rachel. Like, help me diagnose this. Well, yeah, because I think if it were you and me and we did that, which I think we are capable of doing, maybe if we like really boil over, but like, I don't see it. If that ever happened, I'm just saying I would get out of

there as soon as possible. Right? Like you would think you have a little like post-aggression clarity. Like, Oh my gosh, I am a psychopath. I got to get out of here. Yeah. I've never screamed like that at Catherine, but there's been so many times where I like look back and I'm like, that was, what do you say? Why did you say that? That was so stupid. You shouldn't have said,

you know, and it's like, okay, quickly you realize that. Whereas this guy, it seems like he either realized it quickly, but he's not so ashamed of it or he's just so sad in it. Yeah.

Next, another game's done. He's back on the court, like playing with somebody else now. And he was okay? I mean, this is kind of when we left. So I don't know if the cops ended up showing up. I don't know what happened.

But I was like, this is so fascinating. He just made a complete fool of himself and then just stayed there. Like had no remorse, no like self-awareness. Like, man, I kind of lost my cool there. It's like, no, I was just playing pickleball. It's just rec league pickleball. I mean, that's just kind of how

everyone's taking it serious, right? It wasn't even leagues, was it? Not even leagues. Just round, just... The old pick up pickleball yeah yeah it's just rec league pickleball i mean that's just kind of everyone's taking this serious right it wasn't even leagues it wasn't not even leagues just just round just the old pickup pickleball yeah just paddle stacking just regular pickleball it was really interesting um well now i'm so intrigued by who this guy is yeah i'll tell you later but uh joe and i well first of all after talking to rachel it was like this guy is probably like i mean you could be like well sorry so first it was like if this would have happened anywhere else like you're like oh this guy's probably drunk or I mean, you could be like, well, sorry. So first it was like, if this would have happened anywhere else, like you were like, oh, this guy's probably drunk or whatever.

You chalk it up to like, whatever. It's like, I know he's not drunk. So this is fascinating to behave this way, completely sober. And so Rachel had a few ideas and. What did she say? She said, definitely sounds like it could be like manic, like bipolar potentially. She said the fact that he's still there, he's by himself. Yeah.

Continuing to play. He's probably very lonely. Yeah. um she said the fact that he's still there he's by himself yeah continue to play he's probably very lonely yeah he's it sounds like maybe if he's been an athlete his whole life maybe he's always been this competitive right he's always had trouble making friends because he's always been this way so he probably is a very lonely person so after hearing that now joe and i are like determined like we're gonna be everyone else is probably like yeah mean to him we're gonna be really nice to him yeah just just accept him and yeah try to be like really loving to him that's cool i like that because i him. That's cool. I like that.

Cause I think, yeah, that's what I thought was like when he didn't leave, I was like, well, he probably doesn't have anybody to like process this with or, you know, who knows even if he does have people in his life probably doesn't, I don't know, doesn't see them as people that can process it with. So interesting, dude. That's, I mean, and it's one of those things where it's like, I just think pickleball is just a little, like a notch below other sports. Like to me, I've,

I've experienced stuff like that playing pickup basketball. But to me, it's like, there's a little bit more understanding for me for some reason with basketball. You're like getting physical with someone. There are like, you could throw an elbow in basketball. You're sweating on someone.

Yes. There is like, there's aggression. Like pickleball, you don't really get aggressive with people. You try to smack the ball at him. I guess that's like the, even though like a net divides you, the ball is plastic. Exactly. It's not. Yeah. Yeah. There's just, it's, it's called pickleball. Like, like there's just not enough. Like whereas football, like if some guy freaks out, it's like, I kind of get it. Like, it's not right. It's not healthy, but you probably have a little more adrenaline going there. Yeah. So, wow. That's

just interesting times. I would have loved to be there. Just, I don't know. I just get excited about that stuff. I, I don't know if I would have like, like egged them on by any means, but I don't think I would have like, I would have stared the whole time. I would have like, I would not have shied away from it. I would have been so fascinated by the whole thing. In the midst of the dispute, I learned that a couple people next to me were Friday Pickleball fans. We hadn't spoken all night, and while this is going on, we're all just staring at it like, wow.

Andy Bernard just punched a hole in the wall. What do you do? And this guy's like, you need to put this on a Friday video. And I was like, oh, thanks for watching the videos, man. I love it. Thanks for being a fan. Breaks the ice. So, Tymon, how do you feel about your brother being out on the pickleball court and yelling like that? The family name is in shambles.

Let's talk about Tymon because Tymon's a liar and we should punish him by making him do movie quotes again. Yes. Tymon is a liar by omission because he didn't clear it with us beforehand. Didn't tell us beforehand that he's going to California. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sorry, I should have said spoiler. So Ty went to California last week. Dang it. Yeah. In the beginning of the episode,

before we do the thing with the strawberries and the thing and the cherries, like, hey, FYI, there's going to be some spoilers. Spoiler. Yeah. Be careful on Facebook. Ty went to be some spoilers. Spoiler. Yeah. So. Be careful on Facebook. Time went to California. And I had to find out on Instagram. Just don't post about it yet.

There was no spoiler alert for me on Instagram. Oh, man. You guys were. Yeah. So many people. Yeah. With the birth episode. Like, we're just like, oh, I'm kind of upset that I saw this on Facebook first before.

And I'm like, and somebody was like, that's not how Jake and Brad wanted to get it out. And I was like, don't, don't point it on me. However you guys want to figure out is fine. Like, I'm just sad for Jake and Brad that, you know, I'm like, it's okay, guys. I will be more sad if I have to police when you guys are allowed to post on Facebook. I promise you that. Whoa, whoa, whoa! What is this? Delete and ban member. Don't you dare!

Don't you dare! That's bizarre. That's really bizarre. Yeah, what time zone are you in? Eastern? Show me. Show me where you're from. That's a good point. Do Australians, I mean, how long do they have to wait? Right. Because you know, you've got the Californians always listening at 10 o'clock.

Olivia Guthrie, shout out. Yeah. You know? And- Aubrey Magoon, shout out. Aubrey Magoon, shout out to the Goonster. Goonster, I've got to know Goonster. Real quick.

Sorry, Tom. We'll get to you. No problem. No problem. Goonster was the one who posted on Facebook, wait, is Catherine pregnant? This was after we took a video as soon as the chiefs won the super bowl. Was that when it was? I think so. Okay. So, cause I don't remember her saying, did she say that? And like a follow-up comment of like, this is why I think

that, or cause Catherine, you know, there's like, it's funny. Like we did do certain things, quote unquote, to like mask that she was pregnant. AKA like if she was ever on the live stream, it was like, Hey, shoulders and up kind of thing. Or there was a, uh, when you did the cold plunge with Jeff Bethke. Yes. I had to make sure and shoot only the top half of Catherine. Yes. And then there was one thing that didn't you edit something out? I had to edit one sentence that you said about like, or maybe Catherine said, I don't know. Cause it was like, I can do anything for three minutes to hear that. Ian, I don't know. We were making some joke, I think, because it was like, I can do anything for three minutes. You hear that, Ian? I don't know. Maybe I said something for

in that realm or something. Yeah, I forget. Anyway, what else? Oh, in Hawaii, when I would post on Instagram, it was always like just posting her looking at things. I never like posted a picture of, or it was like her and I like just like a selfie or something like that. So anyway, I saw that

thing about that Aubrey posted and I was like, Oh wow. I don't know how she, whatever. Uh, then people like, I think it was that night after she, or it might've been,

or the day that that episode came out. Yeah. And, uh, people were commenting back and forth and then somebody was like, I don't know if she's pregnant, but I don't know if they don't tell us, then maybe we shouldn't,

you know, get it out or whatever. And then all of a sudden the post wasn't there there anymore post was gone the post was gone and i thought like jake is the only admin of the facebook group so i was like did jake delete this i was like because we didn't not on my watch jake is freedom of speech this is not how jake would have wanted it to get out but i think aubrey i don't know i want to know i want to know the story aubrey so give it to us us. No hard feelings whatsoever towards us. It's their fourth kid.

It's fine if you learn on Facebook, podcast. Yeah, it was fun. So, okay, Tymon. So all I have to say, spoiler alert, Tymon went to that place out west. Yes, and he didn't tell us. Had to find out on Instagram. And he will be punished. We're going to play a game with him right after this.

I don't know anything crazy. He didn't tell us. Yeah. Had to find out on Instagram. And he will be punished. We're going to play a game with him right after this. Yeah. I don't know anything crazy. It was just like kind of a church trip or like a young people's like weekend kind of thing. Okay. But yeah, like a lot of people from like different locations across the U.S. of like my church just like went for the weekend. It was awesome. And you went to the devil's playground, California.

Yeah, you're doing mission work there, right? Go to where it's worse. You do look tan. Thanks. Yeah, you were doing mission work there, right? Go to where it's worse. You do look tan. Thanks. Yeah, you got a little color in you. Good job. So yeah, what'd you guys do? Where were you at?

It was like... Hermosa Beach? Yes, yes. Hermosa. Yeah, it was just like... It was kind of funny. We were there, and it was like... While we were there, it was the least stereotypical L.A. weather. it was like while we were there that it was the most the least stereotypical la

weather it was like the saturday we were there was like cold rainy and windy oh wow it never rains there that's a bummer it was it was too bad but then it was like that afternoon it cleared up it was sunny but still super windy so like it was like playing beach volleyball but like the volleyball like you had to go counteract the wind so much to like, it's not as fun, which was too bad, but yeah, but it was great. It was like a lot of just hanging out a lot of new friends, which is awesome. Yeah.

Kind of like a summer camp Bible then kind of, it's all different Christians from different churches coming together and just hanging. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Wow. That's like a kind of a guest,

like speaker come out for the Saturdays anymore. This guy, it's like just a guy from our church, Fred Witzig. He's cool. From your church? Yeah. Home field advantage. Our church has a bunch of locations across the US. Same denomination or whatever.

Okay, gotcha. Yeah, it was cool. Cool, dude. That's fun. There was a guy walking his tortoise out somewhere. That was fun. a guy walking his tortoise out somewhere that was fun how big of a tortoise you were like out like near like kind of on like a little walk and there's just this guy he has like a like a kind of grocery bag or whatever with him oh he's using it to like no grocery bag i don't think i think that's like the end you're not supposed to have like plastic

bags he's like he's just, we're like doing double take. Like, is that like a tortoise? And it's like this decently big, like, like isn't your, your little turtle in your backyard? You know, like a zoo. And he's just like nudging it along. Like it's one of the, like go off the path. He's like nudging it with this bag. Are you sure this was this guy's pet tortoise?

Or is this guy like California? At one point, it's like going off the trail. He just picks it up, turns it around. I was like, how old is it? She's nine years old, just a baby. Wow. You're going to have to sing another 300 years?

Yes. That was one interesting thing. I would say that is a very interesting thing. Walking a tortoise is pretty hilarious. Yeah. How fast was it going? Owning a tortoise. Very slow.

Yeah. Yeah, it was like they were like 100 feet away. It was like, we should ask him about it once he gets here. It's like, that'll be in like 10 minutes. So he'd have a leash? No. Just the bag. Dude, I'm not going to be the guide bag.

The pet tortoise. Because this guy just uh he's on the beach right not the beach it was like okay uh super close to the coast but like at this like area it was like right outside of like the los angeles zoo i don't know this guy just stole a tortoise but i think it was like a pet tortoise wow because i was gonna say don't get him too close to the beach or he'll just get in there. They'll just go in the ocean. That's the highway of amphibians,

of reptiles. You're riding it, dude. They'll take your animal from you. That was interesting. One thing I've written down, I just said Spirit Airlines is the worst. You flew Spirit? It's good to get some Spirit Airlines flights while you're in your teen years and you're in your 20s

It's good for you. Let's hear about it. I've never flown spirit. Oh, you never have tell me yeah I had only ever you would like I fly very very rarely yeah, but I'd only ever flown Southwest which is great and so like I Honestly, not the worst thing but like just so much less comfortable just everything in general is just slightly worse is it a mental thing you think or is it truly more cramped I don't oh it's true it's definitely more okay I also think the color yellow can't be doing him any favors it's true you just go to check your bag that everything's bright yellow I don't like that yeah the planes yellow it's too bright of a yellow then it's like what are you hiding here if it's if it's too dark of a yellow it's what do you must that is nasty this is not a clean place yeah but yeah everything

just felt like like hard and it was like it's like i was glad i wasn't trying to sleep because like i wouldn't have been able to yeah but yeah then it's like on the way back i was like you know what i'm gonna buy the wi-fi because like good for you i was like you know right eighteen dollars i get whatever oh wow and then it was because i was like i tried so hard what were you gonna do on the wi-fi i don't even buy the wi-fi when it's like nine dollars for a four hour time download some netflix before i tried like four times to download like anything and the and the wi-fi at lax was awful they know what they're doing yeah and so um basically i like i guess i'm just gonna buy this wi-fi 18 then the wi-fi terrible was the worst wi-fi experience and like

yeah we couldn't like my sister and i were trying to watch a movie and we like we would have finished it based on like the runtime and the flight but we couldn't it lagged it was like it would stop so much i've never met a airplane wi-fi that i liked it's interesting like southwest first time meeting southwest wi-fi if you watch like their tv or something that's like provided from southwest it's great Like you can watch live TV right there on the app. But like if I, like Catherine's dad used to have a, what's it, a list or whatever. And so I could always just sign onto his thing. And it was like, this is what people are paying for in the wifi.

It was awful. Yeah. I've never really bought it to be honest. Sometimes I'll use Southwest free, like iMessaging. Well now that, yeah, now they have iMessage, yeah, free. Back in the day, that wasn't a thing. Can't download photos though. You know, like someone sends you a picture or video on that. It usually doesn't work.

Oh, interesting. Normally, I'm just asleep, but man, timing, 18 bucks. I'm sorry. Not a good financial decision. The unfortunate thing is that I know that with Southwest, if you have a bad experience with Wi-Fi, I don't think I've ever done this because I've never bought it, but people have been like, my Wi-Fi wasn't good. And they'll be like,

sorry, here's your $9 back. Yeah. Yeah. I probably, they're going to like charge you more for like complaining, making them respond to you. Oh man. So everything is like they Nick, there's nickel and dime you, right? Do they give you, do they give you food? No, no free snacks or anything. We didn't get any really like, yeah. I forget what, like a carry on might be like a charge or something. I'm pretty sure it is. A carry-on is a charge. You have one personal item. You get one stowaway, basically.

And then pay a ridiculous amount for one. Okay. Me and my sister just packed as much into a big suitcase. That's the thing with Spirit, too. How much can your... 50 pounds. Yes. With Spirit, it's only 40.

Get out of here! So they nickel and dime you that way, too. That's a lot of a difference. Yes. The. With spirit, it's only 40. Get out of here. So they nickel and dime you that way too. That's a lot of a difference because the bag alone is 20 pounds probably, right? Like your suitcase? I'll give you seven. I'll give you eight maybe. Really? That's it?

Yeah. For like that bag that Rachel has out there? 20 pound bag? Maybe not. Let's get a scale. Seven? Seven is low, Jake. I don't think Rachel or I own a scale, so impossible to know.

Yes, you do. We have like a... Oh, yeah, I can do with that. We have like a thing that you lift things up and it weighs things, but we don't have a scale. It doesn't say the word scale on it, though. Yeah, I could definitely do it with that. That's what a scale... Yeah. I was thinking, I was like, no, it needs to be a scale because I weigh myself with the bag and I weigh myself without the bag.

That's the only way to do it. Yeah, no, I have literally a luggage scale. I don't know where it is or I'd get it right now. Either way, Spirit Airlines. That's interesting. Nickel and dime, yeah. Well, I've never done Spirit, but I've done Ryanair, which is like the European Spirit. And yeah, it was awful.

Ryanair, I get their videos recommended in my feed, their Instagram reels, and they're this unhinged marketing team that does all sorts of weird stuff. Really? I think it's kind of... Gen Z maybe loves them. I don't know. I think they're kind of funny online. Really?

They kind of lean into their brand maybe a little bit? I think so. I'm sure if they can capture Gen Z, that's most of the people flying people flying is just like, let's find the cheapest way possible. I don't care if it's uncomfortable because I mean, it is crazy cheap, like sometimes like $7 for a flight or something like that to go like internationally. Yeah. You know, international in Europe is so easy. It's like us going here to New York or something or yeah, whatever. But like, man, it was so uncomfortable. Like, it was like like, like I couldn't even lean my head forward to like put my head on the headrest in front of me to sleep because it was so close. There was a rumor at one point they

were going to charge people to go to the bathroom and they're like, I don't think you can do that. And then there was a rumor they were going to have a standing room only flight, like make just note, like you don't buy a seat. You just stand there. That's fun. Just like a nightclub, just a disco. Where'd you meet? Where'd you meet your wife?

Uh, we're, we're Ryan air babies. Yeah. Coach Ryan air. Well, you, I know there's a little stigma,

but, we met on, we met on Ryan air. All right. We're going to play a game with time. And after we talk about mainstream roasters, mainstream roasters, guys,

way more often so feel free to do it every episode you in the early episodes were the ones one that like started the singing I would, I would do that way more often. So I feel free to do it every episode. You, uh, in the early episodes were the ones, one that like started the singing, you know that? Like, I don't think I would ever have ever sung on the podcast. If you didn't like, like I would say something, it would remind you of a song and you'd kind of start singing it.

And then you would eventually join in. Yeah. How about that? So you can't scare money. Don't make money. That's right. Just because I don't think about it very often. Like I didn't think about, I don't know the Newsy song. I was like, uh, let's sing it now that we know it. Trust me.

wine app thank you for the smoke alarm comments uh there are also some time and conspiracies this week which uh keep them coming. Those are, yeah. Just like, yeah, go ahead. I honestly, I kind of forget them. I know one was that Tymon is actually one of Brad and Catherine's kids that they're also keeping a secret. That was pretty funny. I think I saw that one in there.

Or like somebody said something about like, yeah, for Brad's fifth kid, he's not going to tell us until he turns 18. Oh yeah. And then I commented. And his name is Tymon. Yeah. Who do you think timon is what if dude what if timon i i would have to be 15 which is not impossible i've seen it yeah um they've done it with mice if time it was i mean can you imagine how elaborate that would have been like we talked about hattie you know for seven years whatever five years we've done this never talked about timing um that would have been like we talked about hattie you know for seven years whatever five years we've

done this never talked about timing um that would be elaborate let me see if i can find some of these do you remember seeing any of them timing what were people saying about you trying to remember there was one that like so well yeah it was like whoever posted the several like polls oh here we go that's what it was yeah i'm not actually homeschooled. I, my parents don't know that I am on this podcast. Yeah. So Jake Allen, which I don't think he's ever posted anything on the Facebook group before. Now he's the one that's the genius with AI stuff. Um, which makes sense for timing. Yeah. After today's podcast, I began to question reality and I began to wonder what other thing we don't know about. So I made a list of possibilities.

Um, so here's some of the possibilities of conspiracies within the ghost runs the universe. Catherine did run for mayor and one secretly the mayor, mayor Shawnee, Brad legally adopted Isaac. Those are the top two voted on. I would love to adopt Isaac. I actually,

fun fact. I thought about, I want, I, I, we considered, I consider more than Catherine naming Henry's middle to adopt Isaac. Actually, fun fact, I thought about, I went, I, we considered, I considered Morton Catherine naming Henry's middle name Isaac. She's like, I don't really like that name.

I was like, well, I really like him. So what about elephant? Okay. Number three, timing isn't actually homeschooled. Fun. What would he be? How would he? Yeah.

Okay. Jake has dentures is number four on the list. Didn't get a lot of votes, but there, yeah, I didn't even know if there was like an inside joke behind that or anything. Uh, Brad really hates the movie Whiplash. That'd be good if I just, yeah, Domi is actually

Muslim. She's just pushing people towards Catholicism. Um, oh, well, no, right. Jake and Brad are actually aliens. The pot is just their broadcast to the mothership, and they're teaching other life forms how to blend in. I'm going to say I'm going to guess that one didn't get a lot of votes.

Two percent. Samuel Sin said Scott thinks Brock Purdy is the goat. This one was 27 percent. This one actually is the second highest voted one. Tymon's parents don't know about the podcast. They think he's off doing something else. And Jake and Rachel already have a baby. 5%.

Oh, yeah. There were some interesting comments this week. It was like, Jake's asking a lot of questions. I think we know why. Jake is really good at listening and talking on his own podcast. Jake's been podcasting for five years and is asking brad questions about his home birth he's probably pregnant as well jake was talking quite a bit on today's podcast talking dude katherine loved all your input on the episode really she's like jake was so fun like

jake would just add those little things in between and just made it so much funnier and so much better. I was like, Oh yeah. So I don't remember what I said, but that's fun. No, I, I will never, uh, like tell you guys to stop coming up with theories and to stop speculating. I think that's what makes it fun. Cause it's all lighthearted. And, um, there was one specifically that really did get my attention though. I forget what it was, but it was something like, though it is not quite, it has to do with your baby, but it said the way Jake is talking about Rachel's volleyball skills, she might want to take a pregnancy test. I was like, Whoa, that's kind of a wild thing to comment. Uh, but it made me laugh. So, uh, keep those coming as well. I think. Yeah. I don't know. Within reason. Yeah. It makes Rachel more

uncomfortable than me. So, uh, go for it. She doesn't see all of them. It's funny on the live stream. If you, you know, when I was live streaming five times a day, people would be like fourth baby coming soon. And I would just read it and be like, I don't know. I mean, I would love it. I would love it. Talk to Kath. Yeah. I mean, Brad, you want to have more kids? I'd be like, I love

kids. Of course. Yeah. It'd be fun to have more kids. Yeah. I'm all about having kids, you know, and every once in a while, just ignore it. Is Catherine pregnant? I'm like, no, I'm not gonna respond to that. It's funny people's reaction too. They're like, you wouldn't feel like, even though they don't owe us anything, you still feel betrayed by Brad?

You know, like he didn't. Like, kept it secret from us. Like, what else are they keeping from us? It's good to remind them, hey, hey, who's in charge? We're in charge. We're in charge. When I ask you to do something, what do you do? Do it. That's good to remind them, hey, who's in charge? We're in charge. We're in charge. When I ask you to do something, what do you do? Do it. That's right.

That's right. Do it. When I put out a podcast, what do you do? Listen to it. That's right. You listen to it. So fun, man. Yeah.

Things are going great with Henry. Yeah, the kids, the big kids came back from Texas Friday. So they were gone Saturday through Friday in Texas, which was great for us, I think. And Catherine, you know, you got to get used to all the new stuff with the new baby. I think that's a great idea. I think everybody should do that. It's a huge blessing. It's a huge, I mean, it's funny, like, I'm not trying to discount the people that are first-time parents with one baby

because it's so hard, or it's not, I mean, it's just so much your first time parents with one baby, because it's so hard or it's not, I mean, it's just so much your first time to acclimate to, but when you're used to having three kids at home and you go to one, it's definitely, we had a lot going on with him, this one, but like, it was quiet. Like it was much quieter than having three kids. And it was like, Catherine, what do you want for dinner? What time do you want to eat? Like, rather than like, we have to worry about all these moving parts. And so, uh, it was a nice little kind of break. Um, I imagine sleep, the nighttime is obviously way different and more difficult, right. But the daytime has got to be way easier now. Right. Exactly. And it's just like, I mean,

and Catherine, yeah, she's a staggered sleep during the night. And so she takes naps during the day and stuff. And she was quiet and like, I don't know, it's just like, yeah, just so much quieter. And then our three kids came home and like, yeah, I don't know. I'm not going to sugar coat it. Well, maybe I'm a sugar. Splendid. Splendid.

I'm a sugar coat. Splendid. Because you know what? Stevia code. The issues that we're having or like whatever, like the acclimating issues that we're having, or just because our kids are like loving and want to be with us. Like the issues are like, whoa, all six, all six of us are like in the same room a lot. Like, like, you know,

Catherine's trying to feed Henry and then Rosie just can't, like, she just wants to be so close to the baby, like putting her face like right next to the baby. It like just saying, baby, baby, baby, you know, Rachel, they tell. And then, yeah. Yeah. And then Bo's coming in and Hattie's asking questions. And it's like, Bo's always wanting to play with us or like wanting to hold the baby. And it's like, those are all really good things. So maybe I should sugarcoat it, but it also is like a little overwhelming sometimes. So, um, a lot going on, a lot going on, but it's good, man. We were, I was trying to get out the door this morning, Bo, you know, had a tantrum and that's the other thing.

I'm sure there's something psychological about adding somebody new and the attention is now shifting a little bit and whatever. And so that was fun, you know, to deal with him screaming about which chair to sit in for breakfast. Oh, I wanted this plate. He just like gets on the ground and starts screaming.

And then you hear Henry in the background, like start crying. It's like, all right, who do I, who do I deal with here? And then Rosie's like the adventurous one. So she's like standing up in her chair. Like, it's like, if you fall, you break your head open. So I got to deal with that, you know? And then Hattie's just like, dad, I just washed my hands. Can I go give Henry his pacifier? It's like, that's so helpful, but she's, but still like just one more like thing. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Go give him pacifier, you know? So it's just a four kids. Yeah. Wow. Anyway, but yeah, I went and picked him up in Oklahoma. We like go halfway to pick him up from Texas in big cabin, Oklahoma, like this truck stop, big cab,

big cabin. And you know, it's just one of those things where it's like, there are stereotypes of every state, but it's like, is that more of a stereotype or is that really true? And it's just one of those things where it's like there's stereotypes of every state but it's like is that more of a stereotype or is that really true it's just amazing how often oklahoma delivers on the stereotypes like so first of all i walk in you know to go to the bathroom with beau in this truck stop and it's you know katherine thinks it's a nice truck stop i don't know i don't know if you ever been to bucky's yeah i was you ever been to Strava, Missouri? It's not a nice truck stop. We go into the bathrooms and the bathrooms are so gross that I'm like, Bo, we're going outside. We're finding a corner. And he loves it, dude. He would pee outside every single time if he could. That's great. We got him like the other day,

I buckled him all in to go to church. He's like, I got to go potty. And I was like, all right, go inside. She's like, why don't you just go in the grass? It's faster. I was like, you're right by our house. Go inside. But anyway, it was nasty. But as I'm like walking in, I hear this woman say, you know, this, this city's called big cabin Oklahoma. She's like, I came all the way to big cabin in my pajamas to get a fried burrito. I'm like, yes, you did. That is, that is just right up the alley like like feels like you probably don't need to announce it because this happens somewhat regularly am i right this is the first time it changed on your it was two o'clock in the afternoon i think you know it was not early fried burrito that just sounds terrible for you like a burrito alone is high

calorie fry that bad boy yeah where's she coming from you can't find there's not a burrito alone is high calorie. Fry that bad boy. Where is she coming from? There's not a burrito you like nearby you? Yeah. So then this truck stop has a subway attached to it. And I'm waiting in line to get the subway. And these people in front of me, it was like one of those things where it was like, they are

almost done with their order. It seems like they're about to pay. And eight times they did other things. Can I get three drinks? This woman's like, yeah, three drinks. I think they genuinely ordered eight cookies. White macademic. What is that?

Macademic nut. Is that a scholarship thing? It goes towards their macademic? They just keep piling stuff on their order. It was wild. It was like, oh. And then it was like, can I get my receipt?

It's like, come on, just go. Get out of here. So she gets done. And this woman, right after she gets done with this order, the worker comes up to me. And she's like, I'm so sorry. I have to pee so bad. And just sprinted out of the subway.

Like from behind. Didn't even get my reaction, out of the like subway, like, like stuff like from behind, like didn't even like get my reaction, which was fine. I was like, whatever, but it was just one of those things was like, this is wild. There's one person working at the subway truck stop.

Yeah. That was a bummer. I got to be so bad and just sprinted around. I turned these guys behind me, probably truckers. And I was just like, I just hope she washes her hands when she's done. So that's fun.

Yeah. Yeah. It was a, yeah. Oklahoma truck stops's done. That's fun. Yeah, Oklahoma truck stops, man. Nothing like them. For whatever reason, that reminded me, I was listening to a podcast this week of a former CIA spy, and they were interviewing him, and it was very interesting.

Turns out they don't call them spies. That's like a Hollywood term. Operative. Good. Oh, really? Somebody's been listening. Somebody's been watching some 90s Tom clancy movies but he was talking about i think not everything has been declassified you can't talk about all of his training or exactly how he was accepted and interviewed but one of the things he was talking about like they'll run you through these tests to to really make it to the next level and

they set up these entire like fake communities and fake societies and almost everyone is an actor, but you don't know who's an actor and you don't know what's real. He said one of the like test is that he was run through was like there was a coffee shop set up in this town basically of a lot of people who from the nearby town who think it's a real coffee shop. So it's not all fake CIA people.

I mean, there's just real people going there and your job is to get a free cup of coffee. Doesn't matter how you get it. Okay. But get a free cup of coffee. And I was thinking, I was like, Brad would love this. I think he would really enjoy this. Yeah. And so this guy was talking about just like different methods he used and things that didn't work. And what did he say? He said what didn't work was trying to get it from the barista and trying to schmooze her. Yeah. And try to like like try to be like really nice and friendly and like oh shoot i don't yes i don't have my wallet she's like ah sorry he's

like dang it okay okay so yeah he doesn't know who's an actor though yeah yeah because like if you're an actor are you instructed like don't say yes unless he does this you think you know i mean yeah and i don't know exactly he couldn't really get into that like i don't say yes unless he does this, you think? You know what I mean? Yeah, and I don't know exactly. He couldn't really get into that. Like, I don't know how many of these people actually are actors. I mean, maybe it's very few, but he just said that you're always monitored. They will put you in all these situations, like, as you live in this town of, like, because you're

just trained to not act on emotion. Do not, you have to act on logic, logic, logic. And so he's like, things will happen to you, but he said eventually what happened is he befriended, like, an old lady and talk to her. And, you know, it's really like they're teaching you how to manipulate people, like how to win someone over, how to like manipulate them into getting you, you know, what you want, which in the end at CIA will be secrets. Right. And so they said, yeah, it's just one of the ways they train you to like, you know, can you fake this? Can you

lie your way through this? Can you mirror someone in this way? If you can free cup of coffee, this will help train you to like eventually get secrets out of people. So fun interview. But yeah, I was like, Brad would love this. I like what's the podcast. Remember I, this guy's really making his rounds. Cause I've heard him on two separate podcasts now. Okay. I forget his name. He's got some book or business called everyday spy, but I was listening to him on Andrew Schultz podcast. Cool. Um, yeah, I, first of all, I love the, love the challenge of getting a free cup of coffee by itself. Like I'd love to go try to get a free cup of coffee. Um, and then second of all, I love the idea of like, now that I've heard this

walking in and just viewing every single place I ever go as like, this might be another spy place. None of these people are real. Half these people are actors. Can I borrow the, can I borrow the outlet? Yeah, sure. Yeah. I bet you're trained to say that. Yeah. You have to say that. Yeah. Oh, that's amazing. So it's cool. I've learned quite a bit about it. Kind of interesting. That's cool. I'm going to listen to that now. It's very interesting. It seems like this CIA, he always says CIA. He doesn't say the CIA. He says CIA for some reason. Isn't it interesting like, yeah, when you learn about certain things like that where it's like, oh, you say

it differently than we do. I think you're so much better than us. This is super small, but like the Last Dance documentary, I think everyone calls him MJ and he says MJ. I know it sounds, yeah. But like the people that are like talking about man, he says MJ. I know it sounds, yeah, but like, but like the people that are like talking about, man, that's MJ. Oh yeah. And we're like, oh dude, MJ is the best, you know,

best, best basketball player of all times. MJ, MJ, but MJ, MJ, best basketball player of all time. You don't mess with MJ. Slight difference. Yeah. Um, so yeah, it's interesting. It seems like CIA very specific who they want, and they almost seek after people with some type of childhood trauma. Oh, interesting. It's like this perfect sweet spot where some trauma, but not too much trauma,

and you've lost a little bit of your empathy and emotional side of you, but not too much. You're not a sociopath. You still need to have some empathy. Yeah. There's this perfect sweet spot. And you have to have enough social skills, right? Like you can't just be like completely broken. Yeah. Interesting. It's cool. Wow. I like that stuff. That's, those are the kinds of things. Like if someone tells me about a podcast,

great, I'll listen to that, but I'm not going to like seek out a spy podcast because I bet if you just search, like, you know what I mean? Like if you Google or like search on podcast, I don't want to like sit through one that's bad. Yes. And so many of them, you never know if a podcast is bad in the first three minutes. Yeah. It's always like seven minutes,

10 minutes, 20 minutes into it. It's like, I don't think this is very good. I don't think it's, I don't think they're doing a good job here. There's so many times I've listened to 15 minutes of a podcast episode before I turn it off.

So yeah, it's tough. You're like, it's supposed to be comedy. Maybe they'll get into it later. I haven't really heard of it yet. I don't know. When's the interview happening? Maybe this is like a different podcast where they don't do an interview for this episode, but they usually do them. Who's this girl with them every once in a while?

It's this AI girl. Oh my God. CozyEarth..com let me tell you about that doesn't take a cia spy to investigate that this stuff is good for you so good dude i uh i'll say it i have been sleeping commando mando in just the cozy earth shorts lately yeah i mean just like when they're that comfy you don't want anything in between you and them. You have some shorts. I don't have any shorts. Yeah. I need to get some shorts. They're awesome. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know how many sleeps, how many commando sleeps you get in a row before it's

like, it's time to wash these, but I'll tell you it's at least four. It depends on what you're doing before throwing them on. It's truly like, it is time for bed now. Shorts are on. Boom. Yeah. It's time to wake up. Shorts are off. I have not mandoed, but I've probably worn 21 days in a row with washes in between, but my cozier hoodie, like my, what did I call it? My sweatsuit? Your sweatsuit. Dude, I've worn, yeah, I've probably worn that most than most things that I wear all year. I might wear this shirt 21 times. I've worn my Cozier stuff in like three weeks, 21 times. And that's a good point because I know if you guys look at maybe Cozier prices,

you might think like, I don't know if I can spend this much money to sleep in it. But then you think about how often you're going to wear it. How often will you wear a nice sweater? nice sweater yeah three times a year yes how often will you wear something you're sweating they call it a sweater on purpose yes but like if you get something that's so cozy you will wear it 50 times a year maybe there's nothing i mean the value of comfort is wild especially while sleeping it's 35 off to 35 off. Yeah. They're having a sale right now. 25% off. We say pish posh at that and say go ahead and use GRKC for

35% off. Premium bedding. They got bath collections. They got women's apparel, men's apparel, whatever you want. Cozier's got it.

Ooh, yeah, that'd be kind of fun. Could be fun. Yeah. That's the right way to do it. I almost completely forgot to fill one out. I filled one out with like six minutes before tip- off Thursday morning. Really? It's like,

what my 10 year old self would be so ashamed of me, dude. I've just lost interest though. Have you? I have not lost interest. Really? I just realized I still could, because like I have not heard anything.

So I still, like I could, I could once it's over and then just like go look everything up. You know what? Why don't you do that now? Or not even, yeah. Fill one out.

Do you know how it works? I don't even know if they would let you fill one out now because they're like, you do that now or not even yeah fill one out do you know how it works time i don't even know if they would let you fill one out now because they're like you would know the answers but yeah i don't know how does it work okay yeah i was gonna say i'll find it brad's gonna find a blank bracket okay sweet and then you're send it to time and he'll just look at it and tell us the winners and we'll see if he's right okay in the meantime here's what i'll say i think it could be two things of why i've lost interest one i think the better the chiefs get the less i care about anything else sure and just the more i get more and more into the nfl every year and fantasy and just the nfl in general and following it and so i think part of it's growing up in southwest missouri i don't have a team i don't

care about any one college basketball team and i was talking to uh last week's one of the week david harris yeah uh he was over for a game night recently and i was talking to last week's one of the week, David Harris. Yeah. He was over for a game night recently. And I was like, you know, what's crazy is I think I could name four women's college basketball players right now.

And I could name zero men's players. I'll give you one. Now that goal key guy for Oakland. Hey, Hey dude. Hey dude, you got to say that spoiler alert. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Uh uh really zero truly that's how little i know i don't know any ku i knew grady dick last year uh duane harris no really i'm sorry i truly like he's been there a while or uh oh no i could get uh ed though from purdue so never mind there's, there's one, one, one player. And I can, I think I named four women. It's that's part last night. Rachel and I watched the entire Iowa women's game. Really? Yeah.

It's close. It was close. I was getting nervous for Caitlin. 32 points out of their 64. Like what's crazy dude is I've watched two of her games now back to back. And they're so quiet. It's like a very quiet 27, a very quiet 32. That's how some of the best, that's how Frank Mason, like all of a sudden,

yeah. At the end of the game, he had 28 points. It's like a lot of free throws, a lot of nickel and dime. Yeah. They fouled her at the end of the game a lot, right? Six points off free throw. Yeah. So, um, yeah, so definitely haven't turned my back on basketball. There's just, I think there's no storylines on the guy's side this year, just the Golki guy. And then, and then spoiler dude, well, didn't make it to the music team. There's just, I think there's no storylines on the guy's side this year, just the goalie guy. And then, and then spoiler dude. Well, didn't make it. It was like,

here's here. Yeah. Here's the interesting thing about, well, first of all, the thing that I do not love about the, uh, March Madness right now is the play in games on whatever it is. Wednesday,

Tuesday, Wednesday, because that makes it to where traditionally and this year, some of those teams make it to the sweet 16, right? Like, and so if you fill out your bracket on Tuesday, you don't know if you're picking NC state or,

you know, uh, whoever they put, like, I see what you're saying. Like, yeah, you're deciding Virginia,

I think, or yeah, whatever, like a potentially like a decently seated team could also not make it. Right. So it's tough to, yeah, like I'mently seated team could also not make it. Right. So it's tough to, yeah. Like I'm pretty sure UCLA two or three years ago

went to the final four and they were in the play-in game. And so therefore, if you pull out your bracket Wednesday night, AKA, you know, 12 hours before games start, not that early,

you're missing out on this. Or you have to wait until the morning of Thursday and then it's like, I don't know, I'll just throw this stuff together and whatever. Just hope for the best, which it's a crap shoot no matter what.

I mean, I just liked when it used to be, it was a hard start. Thursday is when March Madness starts. And now it's like, it kind of starts Tuesday, Wednesday. Yeah. Like I, I kind of tuned in a little bit then, uh, just cause I'm around watching TV more these days, but like, yeah, it was mainly Thursday, but like, yeah, I didn't fill out my bracket till like Thursday at 10, when the game started 11, cause I'm like, I don't want to miss out on this. like, yeah, I didn't fill out my bracket to like Thursday at 10 when the game started 11. Cause I'm like, I don't want to miss out on this. So, um, also that I'll, I'll spin it positive for the NCAA tournament though. I think because of the NIL, because of all the transfer stuff, it's hurting the game.

Well, but I think it's been a fitting Marchness to an extent because the Oakland of the world, like all these teams that have had players together for four years, all of a sudden that's hugely valuable. They might not be as skilled, but they're a better team. And so therefore these guys that have all the great recruits that are freshmen, all of a sudden they have a bad night against a really sound, fundamentally team. That's a good point. I don't know if the data backs us up, but I could see it going the other way. Like we have less Cinderella stories because you don't have these

studs that are still committed to George Mason anymore. Cause if they had a good freshman year, now they're playing for Kentucky. It's not, yeah, it's not as consistent of a Cinderella story. I think it's like a one and done, but yeah, I think we've had 216 seeds in the last four years that's true that's whatever i mean i mean that's that's the truth it's like the biggest cinderella that's true maybe we're just talking about this year like this year there's not really yeah oakland was the big one but who knows timon let's hear okay and can you okay am i supposed to see names on this oh like What have you been looking at this whole time? Oh, sorry, dude. Whatever Brad sent me.

The first one. In case I wasn't, I haven't been studying it whatsoever. You're right, Timon. Okay. The one that I looked at first and then it was like, here's a clickable PDF version. Yeah, it had stuff filled in. Here we go.

Just second time. No problem. Click on this one. You're not going to be able to see the whole bracket, but you're going to be able to see enough of it to give us some predictions here. Cool. And I'm not coming up, just like coming up with, am I like choosing between two?

And do you understand the numbers behind it or next to the teams? They're ranked one through 16. 16 is the worst. One is the best. I see. And there's four different quadrants of that. Based on like their history or whatever? based on their season okay so i can just vote for the higher number that's that's a good strategy okay but that's the whole point of march madness is that

yeah doesn't always happen so let's see and lower number is better nope no oh yeah lower number is better yeah cool yep okay so just start up at the upper left? Yeah. What do you think? UConn, Stetson. Oh, that'd be an underdog story. Looks like. I'm going to go UConn. Correct.

Okay. Okay. FAU, Northwestern. FAU. Wrong. That's what you get. San Diego State, UAB. I wanted UAB to win, but San Diego did? Yes, they did.

That's interesting. Catherine loves knowing. That's the one knowledge she has is that a 12 always beats a 5 pretty much every year. There's always one. She picks them all just in case. 12-5. She's blown away when a 5 seed wins. Auburn-Yale? Auburn. Incorrect. Dude, support the Friday Pickle guys.

Big upset for BYU. Yeah, you got one. Dude, support the Friday Pickle guys. Come on. Big upset for Yale. Yeah, you got one. BYU Duquesne. Is that a zero by BYU or a six? Six. Zero seed. Really good. Let's say one starts with a D. Duquesne? Well done.

Very good. Big upset. Well done. Illinois Moorhead State. Oh, of course Illinois. Yeah, 16 points. You gotta have your rooting interest.orhead State. Of course, Illinois. You've got to have your rooting interest. I love Illinois. Washington State, Drake. Who did win that one? I got it.

I'm going to say Drake. No, it was Washington State. Washington State. Iowa State, Sistak State. All I read is Iowa Street. Iowa Street versus South Dakota Street. So, Iowa Street versus Sudoka Street. Iowa Street. Iowa Street. Dude,

I mean, this is stupid to talk too much predictions because by the time this comes out, more games have happened, but I'm very high on Iowa State right now. I'm ready for them to win the championship. I placed one wager like real wager on March Madness and it was like some like opt in boosted bet. It was. You place whatever bet on one team to win it all, and for every game they win in March Madness, you get a $5 bonus bet back. That's cool. If Iowa State wins it all, I'm going to be

a very rich man. But even if they keep winning, it's still fun. You get more. Right side of the bracket, Tymon. Houston versus Longwood. Houston. Good. Would it judge you if you said Longwood, Nebraska versus Texas A&M. I think Texas A&M took that one. Yes, they did.

Do you see? This is the other thing that I'm pleasantly surprised with. This tournament is offense is up. Texas A&M scored 60 some points at halftime. Yeah. There has been a lot of like that sounds 100 point game. Yeah. Duke got 93 their second game.

Yeah, so that's one thing that's nice to see because the NBA, they're just scoring all the time. And in college, it's like, oh, they won 48-39. Florida, Colorado in the first round. Didn't even go to overtime. It was 100-102. Yeah, that was a great one. All right, Tommy, you got it.

Nebraska lost, so good job. Okay. Wisconsin versus our founding father, James Madison. James Madison, they were too old-fashioned, so I think Wisconsin took it. 12-5, Tymon. You got it. James Madison won.

Oh, yeah. America. Duke, Vermont. Duke. Yeah, easy. Texas Tech, NC State. Maybe NC State. Wow.

Tymon's got a pretty good bracket. Kentucky, Oakland. Kentucky. Man, Tymon, you did not listen to us at all. We did spoil that one a bit. Big upset. That was the biggest upset of the first couple days. Oakland won.

Florida, Colorado. You just talked about this, but I don't know which one you were saying won. We didn't say who won. Oh, okay. We said it was high school. Florida, Colorado. You just talked about this, but I don't know which one you were saying won. We didn't say who won. Oh, okay. We said it was high school. Florida. I meant Florida. Let me write it down.

I wrote down Colorado. I was saying Florida not. Not. Marquette or Western Kentucky? That would be big, but I'm going to say Marquette. Yeah, yeah. Too big, too big. All right.

Last section. The Midwest. Purdue versus Grambling. Purdue, that's a number one, which looks pretty good. So I'm going to say Purdue. Yep. Utah State, TCU? TCU.

Not even close. Lost by a ton. They did get whooped. Gonzaga versus McNeese. Well, we've already had one 12-5. Okay, Gonzaga. Yep. Yeah, you get it.

My nephew Cole, really high on McNeese. He was so bummed when they lost. He's like, oh, I had them go in the Elite Eight. There goes my bracket. McNeese? You're putting all your eggs in McNeese's basket?

KU or Samford? Okay, I can't see the numbers anymore, but... Sam, not Stan. What are the... KU's a four seed, Samford's 13. Oh, KU. Yep, good job. South Carolina, six seed versus Oregon, 11 seed.

South Carolina. Upset alert is Oregon. If you're an idiot idiot I'm an idiot three Creighton versus 14 Akron Creighton yep seven Texas

versus 10 Colorado State Colorado State nope losing kind of your steam here two Tennessee versus 15 St. Peter's well Tennessee had to have won Tennessee did

it's a good number beat them by a million they won that's a good example St They beat them by a million. That's a good example. St. Peter's had that amazing run a few years ago. Yeah, they did. And they probably had a lot of NIL guys transferring out.

Yeah. So anyway, it's fun timing. Next year. I'll do it. Yeah. Apparently, my mom, I might have said this like a month or so ago, at her school, they did like a competition for the Super Bowl prop bets bets my mom won out of the whole faculty of all of her prop bets and now this month has filled out a men's bracket and a women's bracket and it's apparently doing

phenomenal that's awesome and my dad like caught her there and i was like what are you doing and she's like i'm just looking up college basketball scores yeah i said this this is really fun i said the next step the final step is fantasy football. Okay. I was like, that's when you really know she's becoming a sports fan. Did Angie play in last year's family league? Corey did. Football?

Yeah, yeah. Angie did have a team. Okay. Trish can do it, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fun. I think she would like it. Oh, dude.

Sometimes it's reverse engineer. Like, play fantasy football, and then all of a sudden you're into it. Kind of like this. She's checking the scores because she has invested interest into it. You've got to shoehorn your way into the interest. Right. I've been looking at the games. There's been some good games.

I do. I'm still intrigued by March Madness. It's like, oh, is this game in the final five minutes? Oh, turn it on then. Right. I don't really care. Watch the full game. That's part of it.

Yeah. It's like, wait until it gets good or not. Um, and that's what's so good about the first two days is that there's so many games going on at the same time. A lot of action. Yeah. I think the tournament often gets worse as time goes on.

If that makes sense. Yeah. Like the first couple of days electric. And then it's like, okay, I'm not that excited about Yukon, San Diego state. I guess I'll see what happens.

You know what I like about March Madness? They don't have any mRNA vaccines in them. No, they don't. Just like my favorite meat, pork from Good Ranchers. They are once again sponsoring our podcast. Did you guys know that? Surprise, surprise. Surprise, surprise. GoodRanchers.com

They are known for their American meat delivered. Oh, yeah. And they deliveranchers.com. They are known for their American meat delivered. Oh, yeah. And they deliver it to my door. They deliver it to Brad's door. Your door? Possibly you. We're doing something.

Yeah, we'll talk about the mRNA vaccines real quick, Jake. Basically, this is a problem. A lot of other people are putting these vaccines in their little piggies, and it's not good for you. And Good Ranchers says, MRN, no to that. And so you can trust that Good Ranchers is only the highest quality meat. It's only coming from America from start to finish. It is right here. U.S start to finish, it is right here. U.S. of A, 0% mRNA vaccines found in it.

It tastes great. You will notice the difference immediately. Yeah. You don't have to be like, uh, was this meat imported and then labeled as product of the U.S.A.? You don't have to have that mystery in your meat anymore. You just know this meat is good meat

coming from good ranchers in good America. It's all good. So tonight we are doing, have I ever talked about Viking chicken on the podcast? I don't think so. That's my like branding of it because it's just more fun that way. They have these, they call them like lollipop chicken. Like it's just like little wing kind of things. Lollipop, lollipop, oh lollipop.

So good. Drumettes maybe some people call them. Anyway, itllipop, lollipop, drumettes. Maybe some people call them anyway. All it's like one of the things I know how to make. And so with Catherine, like not feeling well recently. And then obviously with the baby, um,

it's one of the things I make. I just put a bunch of chicken, a bunch of garlic and lemons on a pan and put it in the oven and bring it out. And then we just eat it. We eat it like Vikings. That's why, like we eat it with our hands. Like most chicken we cut up and whatever.

Bo loves just acting like he's, you know, we like listen to frozen heart by, you know, and unfrozen stronger than one, growing in 10. And we're just going nuts on the Viking chicken. So,

um, uh, truly like my kids love good ranchers meat. Um, so if you're going to value, you know, feeding your kids, good things, value, value, you know, feeding your kids, good things,

value, good food for yourself, value your health, go to good ranchers.com promo codes, GRKC 10% or 10. Yeah. 10% off plus Easter ham, holiday ham.

We, we got a few people posting the Facebook group this week about just got my good ranchers. Wow. They really do give you a free ham, you know, like, wow,

my kids really do love it. So a lot of good things. And I wonder, sorry, they might not have ham, I guess, by the time this is coming out. That's what I was wondering. I was like, I don't know

when the Easter stuff stops. I know when Easter is and I know what Easter means. Yeah, it was yesterday. But yeah, I tried to find, I got some non-American beef with Facebook because I was trying to find

these good ranchers posts. If you search good ranchers in our Facebook group, you know what pulls up? You're posting, let's get them married. Like I typed in good ranchers. Why is that what comes up? Like the search on Facebook is awful. How? I wonder if it's different for me.

It's bad. It's different for me. Maybe you searched on something. It's always been bad for me really yeah like what comes up to top uh joshua caleb mitchell asking about getting bulk meat um but see that even that's like old right like it's not from anything august 2023 august 2023 why isn't that why there have been multiple posts this week. You can filter by most recent. Well, but then, in the Good Rangers, I post most recent. Yeah.

Michelle Ballinger, why doesn't Jake not want Young Sheldon to succeed? Wait, hold on. That's such a funny post. Did I say something about, like, I hope Young Sheldon goes away? You were just like, I can't believe that Young Sheldon gets so many views

or something like that. Oh, that's funny. The top comment says, as a former Sheldon Christian kid, he can't support anything related to the Big Bang Theory. Malachi, you're always a funny guy. Holy cow. Now we're just going off Good Ragers.

Catherine Yoder had her baby 13 hours ago. She posted 12 pounds, four ounces. That must have been... That is an Easter ham right there. Woo! That is amazing. Praise God for new life. That is a big old new life. Woo! That is amazing. Praise God for new life. That is a big old new life.

I don't know what this means, but she said, I hemorrhaged. I'm sorry for whatever that means. That doesn't sound good. I'm happy to hear you're stable and baby's doing great. Yes. Wow. Wow.

12 pounds. I don't know if Henry will be 12 pounds for four more months. I could be wrong, but he's definitely not 12 pounds now. Catherine. Wow. 12 pounds. I don't know if Henry will be 12 pounds for four more months. I could be wrong, but he's definitely not 12 pounds now. Catherine Yoder. Good job. Good. Good for you,

Catherine. All that to say, Facebook search is awful. You type in good ranchers and it's like, did you want young Sheldon? Facebook search. Dude, these days,

like you can't even, like if I look up Jake triplet, I feel like back in the day, maybe it's back. I don't know. Maybe it's on my phone or something. You look up Jake Triplett. It used to like populate people named Jake Triplett first and now it's like just I have to search it and then it'll show

people. That makes sense. Like it's like I'm friends with a guy named Jake Triplett. You should know that's who I'm looking for. Yeah, just anyway. Sorry, I'm very caught off guard by this Young Sheldon thing I don't remember what I said

but don't let it get to you man I'm like I wonder what I said about Young Sheldon anyway what's up guys I just noticed that

I've recently noticed ever since we're not recording anymore are we Tyler ever since I started not recording anymore. Are we time ever since I, uh, started, I like if whenever Friday posts it,

like Friday, pick up a post, the YouTube video that I shot or whatever, I'll like click on it, watch something or whatever. Um, and then now I get just random, like videos with about like a hundred ish views of just pickleball,

like full, like 25 minute games, just like from random people you love it someone and I have I don't I haven't watched a single one but that was kind of funny somebody there someone knocked hard hard hard they're about to shut down

the power again aren't they well hey we'll still have our footage yeah that's right yeah I haven't I I've I've clicked on a few other pickleball things. Like, oh, maybe they're similar to the Friday stuff, like kind of funny and entertaining. It's always just pretty dry stuff.

Guess who it was? Pest guy. Pesto guy. How'd you know? Did you hear it? I heard you say something about bugs. Yeah, bugs and mice. You were bugging.

We've got about an hour and a half, so let's just wrap it up. Apparently, I signed up for quarterly sprays. Yeah. I didn't know that. He said, I'm here if you're quarterly. Quarterly. You're like, okay, you got the leg straps, or do I need to provide my own?

Do you need, who gets to, can we have a third person? Dude, I think that's a genius, like, Yeah, they just do it unless you say no. I'm here. Because we have the same people and I don't think I ever signed up for anything. Yeah, we come quarterly. We're here. We'll see you. Three months. Okay.

Yeah. All right. Totally. I'm not going to say no. I don't want bugs. I don't want mice. Yeah. I told him I hadn't seen anything, but spray away, sir. Go off. Get after it. Okay, we'll wrap this sucker up. Is that what you guys talked about? Do you guys talk about me a while ago?

No. Just talked about not watching pickleball videos very much, except for yours. Oh yeah, thanks. Ghosties are so great. Continue to be so supportive. Thank you to everyone commenting and those who've won free paddles shout out to you heck yeah um i i think a ghostie recently won a free paddle turns out she lives in canada so that was a bit of a snafu but we figured it out no problem no problem just ship it you know manually or something yeah get a mule to do it but no thanks thanks for the ghosties for being so supportive and anything we do that's fun all right uh review of the week yes um mine is going to be a youtube

comment review of the week oh that's fun from caitlin arbogast 0113 i'm sure it's a five star in spirit review yeah also let me preface this by saying one of the things i've noticed about being extra tired recently is I struggle to read like, okay. So many times I've been reading kids books and I just mess up the words. So apologies in advance. If this is a struggle, can't wait. Yeah. Caitlin Arbogast. Oh, one, one, three. I'm a faithful Android user, so I can't leave an actual review, but if I could, it would say something like this. I first encountered ghost runners podcast after finishing correct opinions, correct opinions. The first episode I watched was the

newest one at the time. It was one of the episodes from the ghost runners get away in Florida. I listened to maybe 15 minutes of it. I thought it was super weird that people would go on vacation with two dudes that do a podcast together and turned it off. I love that. A few weeks later, the honesty, I guess. Oh yeah. It's like, Hey, this is real. A few weeks later while home alone with my newborn son, I was desperate for adult interaction and two dudes doing a podcast together was going to have to be good enough. I listened to episode 227, which was the Coke versus Pepsi taste test. And I was hooked. That episode is still one of my all time faves. Here we are coming up on one year later. And I've listened to every episode. Wow. And then she said in reverse order.

Yes. I realized that's psychotic. Ghost Rose pod has seen me through countless nighttime feedings with my son, painting my entire house and several road trips where my husband gets to listen to the pod against his will. He secretly enjoys it. Thank you. Jake and Brad,

Jake, Brad and timing. Sorry, Tom, for putting out quality and wholesome content that is hilarious and that I feel comfortable listening to around my son. I'm pretty sure my 11-month-old son recognizes your voices

as some that he hears most often. Looking forward to seeing Jake's show in Lincoln, Nebraska on Thursday. Keep up the excellent work. I'd give you 10 stars if I could. Oh, I'd give you 10 stars if I could. I'd give you 10 stars. I'd wrap it, I'd give you 10 stars. I'd give you 10 stars. I'd wrap it around like a lasso and pull it down for you. If you're a 10 stars, I'm a 10 stars.

Yeah. Thanks, Caitlin. Really sweet. That's very nice. Thanks for the honesty. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. I do love it when people are like, my husband could not stand you guys at first, but he's finally started listening. It's like, fair enough. I don't know. Maybe I'll be annoyed by us too. Hey, thanks. My review says five stars. New ghostie. I decided to give this podcast a chance

after finishing Correct Opinions. Correct Opinions. And I'm glad I did because this is now one of my favorites. I don't normally leave reviews, but I'm currently listening to the episode about Tymon and how people thought he looked before changing his profile picture on Facebook.

And I just had to say, I thought Tymon was an Asian 5'6", skinny guy with glasses and the Asian bangs, in quotes. Asian bangs, that's, yeah. Asian bangs. I don't know why, and it makes me laugh every time I think about it now.

Interesting. That is interesting. So Jake Allen, do your thing. Let's see timing like that. Well, how about the Harrison Ford? I'm wondering where Jake Allen gets any pictures of me. He finds his way. Oh, he has his way.

He has a way. CIA. Let's just say he has our phone numbers, and we take pictures every single day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about like Indiana Jones? You know, Mr. Jones. You seen that? No.

Oh, okay. Asian. Yeah. Or the Goonies. Do one with the Goonies. You seen Goonies? Rush Hour 2. No, what's the one with Owen Wilson?

Shanghai Nude. Yeah. Shanghai Nude. Shanghai Nude. Do one with the Goonies. I'll be Chunk. You be Mouth. He's Data great

haven't seen that either you've never seen it no good one you would love it it's pretty good you would love it today you would love it

it's not one of those scenes like oh I have to watch that one when I was 15 to love it it's like no today tonight tomorrow tonight you would love it man

would you guys like to in this episode with a jingle? Tymon, as you were doing your pest control thing, Tymon was practicing his jingle, so. I got nothing. Do the Hermosa Beach. You were saying like. I'm going to go on YouTube and type Hermosa Beach instrumental and just see what comes up.

Sand between my toes, breeze in my hair Hermosa Beach, you take me there Hermosa Beach, where the waves dance free Underneath the palm trees, that's where I wanna be With the sun-kissed sky and the salty air In Hermosa Beach, I find solace rare Surfers sketching waves with the graceful glide As the tide rolls in with the incoming tide

Lavender children build castles in the sand. Footprints memories forever will stand in the rhythm of the... Wait, that... That was so good, dude! Now give it a hook.

Give it a hook. You shouldn't have told us it was Chad G.T. Wait. Okay. There's a bridge. Okay. Give us a little song.

In the warmth of the sun I belong. There you go. With every crashing wave I feel alive. In Hermosa Beach my spirit thrives. Hermosa Beach where the waves dance free and the earth and the palm trees that we're on the beat. Sun, kiss, sky, and the salty air.

In Hermosa Beach I find solace rare. Chase the sunset hand in hand. In Hermosa Beach where the sea meets the sand with every moment our hearts entw hand. In Hermosa Beach, where the sea meets the sand. Every moment our hearts entwine. In Hermosa Beach, our love will shine. Hey, that is so good, Ty. Cyclops is loving it over there. DJ Kosho, not bad.

DJ Kosho. We should do that way more. Chad Shibuti comes in clutch. Comes in quick. I shouldn't have said. You're right. I shouldn't have said that it was Chad Shibuti. What'd you prompt? I said, write me a song about Hermosa comes in clutch. Comes in quick. I shouldn't have said that it was ChatGPT. What'd you prompt?

I said, write me a song about Hermosa Beach in California. That was so long. I feel like you got a lot back. Sometimes when I do that, it gives me like one verse. I feel like ChatGPT usually gives me more than I need. Really? That's what I would say too, yeah. Okay.

Maybe I have the old ChatGPT. Oddball. Odd man out. ChatGCP. That was great. We should do that way more. That was fun. That was great. We should do that way more. That was fun. That was great.
