three two one it's night time pod timing i didn't even say anything nighttime pod nighttime pod it's 8 30 p.m for us yeah but it's monday morning for you hopefully thanks for this our podcast uh brad got a story for you i was performing this past weekend and do a little crowd work no stranger sure and i'm talking to a woman sitting front center and i said what do you do for a living and And she said, I'm an ASL interpreter. I interpret sign language. And you know, the crowd is applauding her. I'm doing it with my eyes, I think.

Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Awesome. Good. And then, I mean, I'm 30 seconds into my set. Something comes over me. I'm like, would you want to come on stage and interpret as I perform?

Yeah. And she's like, yeah I could yeah and then the crowd is going crazy and then I realize I I don't know if I'm allowed to do this and then I'm like does she really want to work she paid for VIP tickets and I'm about to like put her to work I actually she probably would not want to do that the crowd's cheering her on so now I'm like you know what how do you say never mind? Really? Yeah. How do you, what's the best way? Yeah.

I'm sorry. I didn't think it through. Call on the ASL interpreter and bring her up on stage and then tell her never mind, prank. Whoa, dude. We're trying to get ready for our comedy special. So probably shouldn't bring strangers up on stage with this prank. No one really comes to comedy shows if they're deaf prank uh-oh oh i think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white me too midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost that is good point uh yeah i've never had an asl interpreter before. Once in Austin, Texas. Oh, of course.

And it's all inclusive. A little too inclusive. It's distracting me. I do remember I used to have a bit about diarrhea. And I realized as I'm doing it, I was like, oh, they had to sign this. And I was like, hey, just I kind of broke the fourth wall. If there even is a fourth wall in comedy, I was like, diarrhea. And then like made her do the gesture again. I was like, that's pretty funny. It's just a downward motion. And that's what I remember it being. It was like, diarrhea. And then made her do the gesture again. I was like, that's pretty funny. It's just a downward

motion. And that's what I remember it being. It was like that. It just looks like you're doing a rain stick. Diarrhea. Diarrhea. That's what she claimed it to be. So anyway, so yeah, we had it once and even at the time, it was like, I wonder

who's here? Who needs this? Yeah, right. And like, what is, I can't imagine the tone translating real well with sign language, but maybe it's better than nothing. Do you ever watch them though? They put the tone into the face, like when they're doing it? When you're worshiping, yeah. Yeah, dude, do you have one at church? No, we don't want to be one of those churches. We do have one of those at church. And it's amazing. Like, it's like off to the side,

you know, not too distracting, but every once in a while I'm like, like, especially when they read scripture and they're just doing all the names. And I'm just like. Oh, you got to spell out Zachariah real quick. And I'm like, there's no, you skipped like three, three sentences. Z-A-C-H. You fill in the blank. Yeah.

It's Zach right now. I'm just watching. I mean, it's amazing what they do. Did you ever go through a sign language phase? No, not really at all. I did briefly. It was either right before or right after my yo-yo stage. So the hands were busy during that time.

Yeah, third, fourth grade. I remember my mom took me to a library because I think they were doing a class or something. And I went. Did you guys have after-school programs, like all these different special groups that you could be in? No. What kind of special groups?

The only one I remember is karate because I always wanted to do that. And my mom never signed me up for it. I don't know if it was like, or maybe it was like they got full too fast or something. And my mom felt bad. Like, no, he doesn't have to do karate. He can do one of the other ones. So it was like, I got into board games one time. Board games, afterschool club. Yeah. I'm trying to, I'm sure there's a sign language one, stuff like that. But yeah, I was, I've always kind of been kind of bitter about not doing, I've never done karate in my life. It's like people who like, um, like their parents let them get out of piano lessons. And I'm like, I wish you would

have forced me to do piano. That's also me, but not me. You know, that's my whole, my mom's whole story. She's like, if I let you quit, you cannot say when you're older, I wish you would have made me take piano lessons. So, and you're just one of those adults, it's very common, who just wish they had after-school karate programs. I just wish I knew how to break some wood. That's all I want to do. What if I do? What if I just go to fifth-grade karate lessons?

Yeah, Dwight Schrute. Yeah. I could do it. That would be fun. I don't want to say anything offensive because I don't know a ton about martial arts, but it does seem like karate and maybe some of these other ones like they're not really training you to ever like fight anyone it's a lot of just like self-defense if the other person also knows karate you know it's like well don't don't kick me in the crotch wait put your arms up like this

yeah like it has to be yeah yeah yeah nothing nothing below the belt. Let's get this clean. You hit my shin. That's not allowed. We're not kicking. Go to Title IX on kickboxing night if you want to do that. Quit. No brass knuckles. Sensei Seth said nothing. That's right here. Just bounce up and down.

Like this. Give me a board to hit. Do an Asian accent. Try to block me with a board. Dude, I'll kick right through it. Stop. Let us know. You're getting mugged. You're like, quit! Dude, this is not how they said you would do it. Hold on, you need headgear. I don't have my belt on.

Ugh! Asking someone to quit because you don't have your belt on is a good reason for anything. I don't have my belt on. Stop it! Stop it! I have to get your belt on is a good reason for anything. I don't have my belt on. Stop it. Stop it. Yeah.

I have to get my belt on first. We have more spaghetti. I don't have my belt on. No. All right. And would you like to donate? Would you like to round up for the Children's Miracle?

I don't have my belt on. Look at my waist. It's naked waist. I don't have my belt on. You got to say it like one word too. Belt on. I don't have my belt on. I don't have my belt on. You got to say it like one word to belt on. I don't have my belt. I don't have my belt on. I'll do that at Panda Express next time. Wait, wait, here's a joke. Here's a joke. Here's a joke. Okay. Ready? Do you want to do spin classes inside your house with other people inside their

house? No, because I don't have my belt on. Of the bike. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got it. You were there. Hey, you got done running. You got done swimming. Do you want to do the third part of a triathlon? No. Why not? Because I don't have my belt on. Do you have your blood on? Yeah, dude. This is the second time today. It's been both times with you. I've just picked a scab on my face. You got his blood on. I swear I'm not just always doing this. I guess Jake brings out a tick in me or something. It looks like you're a cartoon character, really nervous. Just wiping your brow.

Oh, boy. Dude, the word brow gets talked about all the time when you read books. You ever notice that? Like, can he furrow his brow? And he looked calmingly. Furrowed, yeah. Yeah, it's a lot of furrowing. He narrowed his eyes.

It's a lot of that. I don't think about that when I look at someone. Like, oh, he is furrowing his brow. I did look at my eyebrows the other day when I had that really long hair, and I just thought, eyebrows are a lot. It always comes back to the long eyebrows. No, listen, it does.

My sister was with me the other day. She finally plucked it out, and it was, I mean, inch and a half long. Rachel and I have started doing... Okay, sorry. it was, I mean, inch and a half long. Rachel and I have started doing... Okay, sorry. Let me acknowledge. Just acknowledge inch and a half. An inch and a half is a while.

It was really long. Inch and a half for the brow? I'm just saying. Was that five centimeters probably? Dude, I have something about that in a second. Let's talk about it now. You want to talk units? Yeah.

It was storming tonight. What do we do every single time? Uh, the lightning strikes and we're worried about how far away the thunder is or the lightning is start counting. Why? When we count because of how many miles away it is, what do they do in other countries? You ever think about that? How convenient is it for us? That works out. That seems very, like a false assurance to kids. Well, what it is, let me explain it for you.

As some religions will point out to you, America is God's chosen place. God's country. Yes. Now, the Bible will tell you other things, but there are certain religions where they say, no, Jesus was American, God's an American, and Trump is Jesus. So that's kind of why. But one of the other things is everything is built for America. Isaac, I'm just zooming in on a slurpee on the screen, just getting Brad's attention. Love it.

Like he showed us something tiny. So it's all built for us. So yes, it happens to be exactly one second of time is also 5 280 feet of travel right from the difference in light and sound that's crazy it's just it only works for us it only works for us and in the metric system they still do time the same way as us so it's until they do a metric version of time they won't know about storms they're like one and three-fifths two and six-tenths you know what else i never think about now they're thinking about european storms do they have tornadoes over there you never hear about them you never hear about it like a

decimating is there a five tornado yeah yeah the danish tornado that's what that's like if i were dutch or danish or whatever the i would love that my nickname the danish tornado i would love like if i were like a good basketball player randomly don't let him back you down he's the danish tornado yeah i'll spin you out no i have not it seems like something that might be i don't know ireland or something they might have some it feels like you need to be landlocked they need to have a little bit of lush no i mean not lush but like yeah some nice rolling hills or something you don't just have somebody check out slovakia doesn't checkia doesn't have tornadoes they're landlocked they gotta yeah

but i'm saying like middle east like iran no way too hot too hot too doony i feel like they just have wind like wind storms of some sort here comes the expert expert. Oh yeah, go ahead. I just pictured like more desertish climates. I think like, I don't know. Sandstorms are a thing, right? The rude would say so. Hey, here we go. Has there ever been a tornado in Czech Republic? Yes. You specifically looked up that

country. It's landlocked. The tornado struck seven municipalities. Whoa. Count, yeah. Count to seven. One in 1,000. With the worst damage in the villages of Hrusky. Oh, yeah.

I forget. Yep. Yeah. This tornado was the strongest documented in modern Czech history. And the deadliest European tornado since 2001. So they have them. Whoa, you picked a good one to...

Yeah, that was the right country to Google. Deadliest since 2001. Yeah, okay, so maybe not that often. Speaking of Europe, I was looking into Portugal weather. Rich on his Portugal trip is coming up. Yeah, dude, it's coming up. And I was like, you know, I wonder where... I wonder how warm it's going to be.

What's the weather like in Portugal? We're going there. Looked it up. Very nerdy of me, but I looked up Lisbon, Portugal latitude. Okay. Thought that would be a fun way of, instead of just Googling Portugal weather,

let's go about a roundabout. And it said like 39 degrees north. Okay, fun. Shawnee, Kansas. Yeah. Latitude, 39.5 degrees north. No way.

Isn't that wild? We're like on the same plane. Just go straight east, brother. It seems like they're so much higher up than us. That does. Yeah. I'm very surprised by that.

Yeah. They were like a half degree off. Wow. Interesting. That's fun. So yeah, pretty much the same, same with. Interesting. Cause I was, I studied abroad in Spain.

I don't know if you ever knew that, but, and that's not that far from Portugal. And I felt like the weather was not as cold there. Like it didn't, the winter. That's the culture yeah so okay what were you saying about rachel and cinemators and stuff they don't need to go back to not worth it not worth it yeah anyway i i literally had that thought tonight because there were storms out and the kids especially hattie's kind of nervous and skittish around them and we're trying to say like hattie if you get nervous then beau Bo and Rosie are going to get nervous because whatever. They have to be a strong tower.

Yeah, so we're just having fun. Like, every time we saw lightning, one 1,000. You know, we're counting them up. Hattie's a little scientist. She's like, well, that last one was five, and then the next one was nine. She's like, how does that work? I thought it would get closer. I was like, I don't know.

I don't know how this stuff works. But I thought to myself, how convenient is it that, yeah, just the miles work out for us? That really worked out for us. Like British people, one 1,000, two 1,000. Well, that was a bad exit. Three 1,000. Three.

Four 1,000. Well, how many kilometers was that? All right. I guess it's close. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I'm trying to think. I think there's been,

I've thought of other examples like that. Like, oh, this happened to work out. This is very convenient. Right. It works out this way. Like the lore of how we were taught. I don't know. I can't think of them though.

Yeah, I don't know. How's old Henry? He's pretty good. I put the pretty in there because... He's pooping? He's pooping all right. He seems like he might have some gas. He's not sleeping as well as I want him to.

I made a joke yesterday. I was like, Henry, I've never seen your eyes closed in my life. That's not truly true, but it feels like... And it's also like he's not sleeping super, but like it feels like, and it's also like, uh, like he's not sleeping super well specifically with me. So that's, that's kind of a bummer for both of us. Cause like Catherine's got the touch. I'm not there yet with them.

And so I hold them and it's, it's been a little bit like I'm either, I'm either bopping, I'm bopping or I'm shaking, you know, yeah. Shake it, twist it, Pop it. Yeah. Shake it. Twist it. Pop. Pull it. Boo. I did do some toes to nose. Have I told you about that? I was going to ask if you did that. Love me some toes to nose.

Yeah. Every once in a while, when it works, it's so satisfying. Gas is spewing out. Oh, he's just like. Open the propane tank. Yeah, man. It's like, let's go. Let's go.

And he's so much happier. But overall, he's still really good. He's sleeping through the night pretty well, Um, which is great. That's, that's a huge blessing, but, um, yeah, nothing too crazy. The kids are still just all about him. Rosie I've learned just doesn't have a second volume. Like we'll be like, you need to whisper. She'd be like, okay, okay. And then she'll just go in there and just be like baby i'm like golly luckily he's young enough where it doesn't bother him that much like when they're that young they can sleep through anything but it still feels just wrong to scream in his face yeah i saw yeah because we had a um we had

a ghosty post of the facebook group they were like uh similar to rachel's thing about like uh it's like a zoo she said i think the phrase like sleeps like a baby is also not true because they wake up all the time. And that's why you caught me like, oh, babies are pretty deep sleepers though. Dude, yeah. One of my best memories with Rosie when she was first born

was watching the national championship, KU versus North Carolina. KU was down by 18 points at the half or whatever. And they came back and I was holding her and I was screaming so loud. Oh, let's go. And Kat was like, Brad, I kept like, I was like, he's, she's fine. She's fine.

Sleep it. Yeah. Pass it. Remember that? Yeah. Pass it. That's, that's a pretty funny, like. You guys ever play bop it, Tymon?

You girl play bop it? Okay. Make sure you know what we're talking about. Yeah. All right. All right. How sheltered is he? Tymon uh i i always wonder like if timing is closer to my kids or me as far as like things you know or things you're into especially since you

have young uh brothers and sisters how how much how familiar are you with magnet tiles um magnet tiles i feel like i know i feel like i know what you're talking about but like by a different name but i can't remember the name well there's also picasso something picasso don't know so tiles or something like that what i'm thinking of it's like colorful like transparent and stuff slightly transparent like with like lines through i don't know like bingo triangles you know where they are squares oh i love playing with them dude didn't grow up playing with them yeah with them now't grow up playing with them. Yeah.

With them now when my friends have kids, dude, I played with my kids for like two hours this afternoon with them. And I, I wonder if maybe adults are just missing out on playing with things like that. I had so much fun. They're so fun.

And they have, they have, so they have magnet tiles that are just like magnet different shapes. But then we have these things that are Picasso or something Picasso blocks, or I we have these things, they're Picasso or something, Picasso blocks, or I don't know, but they're like the old, like,

like almost like tubes, like that you can like set up and like make different, like things for marbles to go through. Yeah. And it is, we had so much fun. Both thought it was the coolest thing ever, like to set it all up.

And like, I took, took off my shoe. And so the marble like fell into my shoe and he thought it was hilarious and i would like take the marble be like oh it's just so stinky and bo's just dying laughing dude and we made a freaking cool looking machine that's fun ed bo's like he's like it's a gumball machine that makes really good bread and cakes and ice cream and i'm like, okay, cool.

You know, it's just fun, imaginative stuff. And so, yeah. That's fun. Yeah, you have kids. You get to be a kid all over again. Start playing with toys again. Yeah, but I'm saying like, I think that maybe adults are just missing out on like,

maybe do some kid stuff. Like fun motor skill type stuff. Yeah, I know that for a while, I remember how coloring books came back. Maybe they still are, but like adult coloring books. Did you ever hear about that? Rachel, every now and then on a long flight, Rachel would download a coloring book app on her phone. Oh, really? Yeah.

People will buy these adult colored, more complicated coloring books. But I'm sure that's very therapeutic. Or even putting together Legos. I would love to put together a Lego thing every once in a while. I don't know. There are a lot of, Legos specifically, there's a lot of adults. Yeah, you're right. are a lot of, Legos specifically, there's a lot of adults.

I know Bethke loves Legos, but like, yeah, I don't know. I'm not trying to be like, I want to build a city of Lego stuff. I just want to have some around every once in a while to tinker with. It's a little project. It has been so long since I've just like, had a Lego set to put together. I know, dude. That sounds fun. Exactly!

There's something like just, it's simple. It's fun. Yeah, it is fun to be a parent and get to do all those things again. But I'm like, maybe we're missing out. Why wait till we're parents? A Lego set for Gulf Shores and just kind of everyone pitch in. When you're around the table, I don't know what it is about these magnet tiles,

but building little rooms and being like, this is this kind of room. Or this is a garage. Or I'm going to make this ceiling is this kind of room or this is a garage or like, I'm going to make this ceiling taller than the rest. Or this is a little nook. I don't know why I love nooks, you know? So anyway,

I just had, so of course, Bo is not the easiest guy to play with. He's like, no, that's not how it works. No, the garage,

the garage is not going to be that tall. No, we're not doing that. Like, all right. All right. You're right. Sorry.

But man, he got into the gumball machine so that makes bread yeah and ice cream so anyway that's fun i went to some amazing cities this week yeah was it uh it was maui um fiji that's a city uh lisbon and perf, that's a city. Lisbon. And Perth. Perth. That's Perth. It is those four cities, but of the greater Midwest, Great Plains area. We're talking Omaha.

We're talking Lincoln. You dog. Then Topeka. Lucky. Then Wichita. Oh. Wichita? Here's what I'll say. Omaha is the bell of the ball.

Omaha is the bell of the ball Omaha is Omaha is great Omaha is looking real good right about now holy cow and you guys know my stance you know I'm like hey every city is the same

people are good everywhere people are bad you know whatever those last three cities we were in were interesting it was a different vibe Omaha was awesome I think part of it is

the venue was only one year old. So, I mean, everything backstage is state-of-the-art. It's so nice. It was so great. Give me some specific examples. I took a video to show Rachel. Like, I had in my, I mean, the nicest dressing room I've ever been in. Just like you could tell it's brand new.

Really nice furniture. Yeah. Massive TV. Never turned it on, but it's nice. It's there. My own really nice bathroom. Really nice shower. It's just like everything is nice, and the finishes are and the countertops and right just awesome i had this dial where i could i could

make presets for how i wanted the lighting in the room they had cool light now we're talking options like they're like a drop ceiling and they had led lights around it so it's like you could change it to like overhead like white lighting or you could do orange lighting or you could get the led strips and you could go blue and you go blue pulsing if you're you know a madman or you could do orange lighting, or you could get the LED strips and you could go blue, and you'd go blue pulsing if you're a madman. And you could do green, and you could do all these options. I love that. I would do pre-show, five minutes before, post-show. That's so fun.

Like when Aaron and Michael are ready to celebrate Holly's, I think, one way or the other, it's like, all right, I've got two presets. Sure went well or sure went bad. Sponge to wipe out my tears. So that was really nice. Afterwards, there was a casino on

Council Bluffs, Iowa. How close is that? Six minutes. Oh, that's right. It's like Omaha's on the border or Lincoln's on the border? Omaha's the one on the border. Okay. And you know Nolan, who we scrimmaged against. See Stone! See Stone!

Helped him out. You're welcome. Yeah, Nolan, who coaches basketball, my friend from SPU, he texted me. I'd been off stage for three minutes, and he texted me a picture of the outside of the venue. He's like, and it was Trey Kitty's face on the LED screen.

He's like, yo, are you inside of this right now? I was like, yeah, I am. Are you here? He's like, yeah, I'm here for work. I had no idea you were in town i was just driving by saw trey's face i was like yeah i just got off stage he was like well there's a casino nearby i was like i'll see you later and so we all went and that was fun um i when we got to atlantic city months and months ago for a show i had a hundred dollars in my wallet four casino shows later four states later i have 850 dollars in my wallet it's kind of later, four states later, I have $850 in my wallet.

It's kind of fun. Slowly but surely. Keep it going. Yeah. So yeah, Omaha was awesome. It was great. Hop on the bus next morning, wake up in Lincoln.

How was the bus with Tom, Thomas? Thomas was only there for one night. Katie and Thomas joined once we got to Topeka. They knew what they were doing. Yeah. Had to go to Topeka. As little as possible.

Okay, okay. But once Thomas was on the bus, it was great. I woke up to him crying one time. Okay. And then I went right back to sleep. Yeah. No problem. Yeah.

Stopped like a baby. But yeah, I woke up in Lincoln. And like I do in most cities, first thing I do when I wake up, go to Google Maps and I type in Ase Ibo. See where we're talking. See if anything's close by. And there's nothing. So I got to zoom out a little bit. Zoom out. Nothing.

Anywhere in Lincoln. Hey, not a big deal. I would settle for a smoothie. I type in the word smoothie. No results. There's no fruit in this town. University of Nebraska is here. There are college athletes here. Oh, yeah, you're right. University of Nebraska is Lincoln. It's in Lincoln. And there's University of Nebraska is here. There are college athletes here. Oh yeah, you're right. University of Nebraska is Lincoln. It's in Lincoln.

And there's University of Nebraska Omaha, but the main one is, yeah. They've got a Kearney campus too, but yeah, no fruit. The whole city. Really?

I did start my day off right. I'm like, you're going to sell fruit here? Somebody get something going in Lincoln. What are you, just all about like corn or something? Yeah, husky coin can,

husky strawberry. Yeah, corn syrup, maybe. Husk a strawberry. Strawberries have husks. You can husk them, too. Yeah, so what'd you go with? You go with a little...

Nothing. I don't know what I ended up doing that day. I don't remember. But ran my mile on Nebraska's campus. That was nice. That would be fun i'd be all about that yeah it was really pretty uh beautiful day so that was fun um might have been where i had the asl interpreter that night um was it on campus your your show it was like a

couple blocks from it it was real close by yeah and then got to topeka the next day and topeka i was like whoa lincoln i was too hard on you. I missed you. Yeah. Lincoln, at least stuff was going on, you know, it's pretty pop in college town. Like, okay. Wow. Yeah. I was way too hard on Lincoln. Yeah. Lincoln was actually just fine. Cause Topeka, what are your experiences with Topeka? It's such a bummer, dude. It's, it's, it is, it is like the one place I know you're going to hate on Wichita next, which I have issues with Wichita to an extent. Topeka, I have very little positive things to say, and I will hype up Kansas as much as anybody.

I think the Capitol building is beautiful. I love the Kansas Capitol building. Beyond that, there is nothing original about Topeka in my knowledge. There's no cool coffee shop. How hard is it to have one coffee shop? Like that, like, like there's,

there's nothing. Like I remember Catherine and I, it was the in between from K state in Kansas city. So we met there. Yeah. You've been at big. So we were like, we got to find some fun places to go.

It was difficult. Like we tried to find a cool, like Mexican, like play. It was the grossest Mexican. Like it just is not, I have no positive things to say. like we tried to find a cool like mexican like play it was the grossest mexican like it just is not i have no positive things to say i couldn't find a building that was built in the last 40 years everything is so old there but like not cool old yeah you know the difference and like

yeah that's the difference like 1970s old when i went to wabash indiana that was a very small town but i loved downtown wabash and cute little bookstores and people were out and everything. And so I do my little Google search and see there is one Acai Bowl shop. It's called Onyx Wellness Cafe and it's 1.6 miles away. I was like, all right, I'll go a little run, a little further run today. No problem. And so I run across the bridge over the Kansas River.

You ever seen the Kansas River? Yeah. Beautiful dark brown. Yeah. I believe it's not allowed to have boats on it anymore. It was looking a little dried up and very brown. Just like, yeah, dark chalk, milk. Yeah. They call it the mighty Mississippians. And I run there and I get to the location i open the door and what do i see but it's a bunch of old ladies in salon like seats getting their hair cut i was like oh my gosh is this a little dual action yeah i was like is it is there like a wellness cafe like an ossebo shop like oh yeah it's just right there we share a building with him i was like oh sorry okay great so yeah it's just right there. We share a building with him. I was like, oh, sorry. Okay, great. It's the Onyx Wellness Cafe and Salon.

They do it all there. It was great. I walked into the Wellness Cafe and they were playing Crazy Frog. It was, I like to move it, move it. I like to move it, move it. Is the song Crazy Frog? I think that's like the artist who does cheesy renditions of songs you've heard oh okay yeah um just hyping them up you know yeah and they sold

i it was the wildest look at a place i mean they sold like knickknacks that like i don't know i guess grandma's in topeka biome they sold uh rainbow print leggings there they sold pringles there if you thought you wanted to get Pringles there. All three. Yeah. And then they did sell acai bowls. And I will say, bowl wasn't half bad.

I had a good time eating my bowl. Um, that's great. Then I realized, um, this is our third day on tour. And I guess I shouldn't say I've realized, but I just decided like,

I need to stop borrowing other people's toothpaste. I should just get my own tooth. I forgot it at home. Okay. And, but they have some knickknacks there. Some toothpaste. stop borrowing other people's toothpaste. I should just get my own tooth. I forgot it at home. Okay. Would they have some knickknacks there? Some toothpaste? They did not have. Rainbow toothpaste?

Just about everything but toothpaste there. And so I go back to the venue and I mean, one block away from us is a BP gas station. Like, great. That's all. I'll get my toothpaste there. So the slideshow is going to begin now for those watching on YouTube. Oh, man. The Slurpee is up there right now.

I won't look too quick, Timon, just in case. I'm not looking. Tell me when to look. All right, great. So here's where we're starting off at. This is our first BP. Not a huge deal. Our first BP. Our first stop. I go to the BP. Did I get solicited by two homeless people in the parking lot?

Yes, but that's fine. Hey, silver lining could have been three. That's right. That's what we've always said. I go in there, and I'm looking around, looking around, and they don't have anything that looks like toothpaste. I think, well, maybe that's a commodity in Topeka. Maybe they keep it behind the counter. You know, this is the

high-value thing. So I asked him, I said said, you guys have any toothpaste here? He says, no, no, we do not carry any toothpaste. But if you go down, if you go off Sixth Street and Topeka Boulevard, there's a, there's a smoke shop. They'll have some. Great. I don't know how far away that is. I was like, I got time. I'm not even gonna look it up. I'm just gonna start walking. That seems like one of those ones, in hindsight, you should have verified. Smoke Shop doesn't seem like, hey, we're going to have toothpaste. I'll get it today. I'll get some more today.

Alright, go ahead. So, this is what I roll up on. This is the Smoke Shop. It is. I mean, there is a billboard. The billboard is the roof to the Smoke Shop. It could not be closer to it. You see that guy smoking a cigarette outside of it billboard is the roof to the smoke shop it could not be closer to it you see that guy smoking a cigarette outside of it uh-huh he is the one employee okay felt bad

he had just come outside and just lit a cigarette and then when i walked up he had to put it out and go back in and i apologize it'll be a big sale probably i'm sure he's this this guy right here he looks like he's getting a cart in a day. Now, are you getting any Aquafresh? It was the first time in my life I've apologized to someone for like, sorry, I ruined your cigarette. I sound like Forrest Gump. Sorry, I messed up your Black Panther party. Sorry, you don't have to smoke any butts anymore.

Sorry, you got to relight your cigarette. Sorry, your cigarette. Tasted like. Anyway, so he goes in and he's like, we're going to get it for you. And I was like, looking for some toothpaste. Heard you're the guy I talked to. Yeah, he didn't seem real pumped about it. Thanks for liking this story. I mean, this guy,

I mean, a smoke shop is, it's a rough place. And you're just going in there, happy-go-lucky, very apologetic, very polite. Sorry about the cigarette. What can I do for you? Well, wouldn't you know it,

I need some toothpaste. I need travel-sized toothpaste. I don't need too much. Zoom in on the sign. I think it's called like Capital City Smoke Shop or something. much. Zoom in on the sign. I think it's called like Capital City Smoke Shop or something. Oh, and grocery. Smoke and grocery. Okay.

So it makes sense. They might have a little toothpaste. So if you're in Topeka, stop by Capital City Smoke and Grocery. Tell the guy with zero lung capacity left that I said hello. Yeah, okay. What do you need? And said, yeah, I heard here that the guys at the BP sent me down to get some toothpaste for our man.

He goes, well, we don't have any toothpaste. I was like, I should have known. Something's up in this town. I should have known you didn't have toothpaste. He said, no, we ran out a while ago. You're right. They weren't in a hurry to restock it. Yeah.

And he goes, you know where you need to go? I was like, can't wait. He said, go down that way. And there's a spot. He starts describing it. He was like, you'll see some dog paws on the side of the building. And he was right. So this next building, you can kind of...

I didn't take a very good picture because I wasn't imagining this thing. I kind of see it, yeah. But on the left, yeah, there is... It's a doggy daycare business. Now, if you'll zoom out on the cars, yeah, there is, it's a doggy daycare business. Now, if you'll, we'll zoom out on the cars, you'll see, so it's a doggy daycare. They also sell used cars. Oh, I was going to say,

why are those cars like diagonally parked? Yeah, but backed in. Why do they have neon stickers with numbers on them? Wow, a Chevy Malibu is going for $59.99 in today's economy, 2013. It's election year. Yeah. And then what's this other car?

What's it going for? That's Chrysler Town & Country. It looks like $69.95. I'd take that deal. I'd take that all day. So it's doggie daycare slash used car business, and then zoom in on the right, slash that sign, Mr. Thrifty's. Mr. spelled out is great, too.

M-I-S-T-E-R. And Thrifty's's spelled differently than what you would think but that's how you smell thrifty oh i would think i don't know if you're going to pluralize it it seems like it would belong to mr thrifty yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah um but then we've got like a little logo for shopping carts as discount grocery and um so. So they're pointing you in a grocery direction. They're sending me to grocery shops. And so, yeah, I go in there, and I think I woke up this old guy from a nap or something. He was slow to get to the counter,

and he's like, what are you looking for? And I was like, I heard you're the guy for toothpaste in this town. And he said, we do have some. So we got to toothpaste, and he walks me around. And as I'm picking it up, he apologizes and says, well, you know, I don't want to say anything. I'll just show you the one toothpaste brand he carried. The brand is just called Anti-Cavity.

I've never even heard of this. It's a two-pack for $1.99. Oh, my goodness. I'd be better off just swashing some water in there dude yeah you might have more cavities now honestly it was amazing because he's he's walking me to it he can see me looking around and i think he sees me not wanting to pick up the anti-cavity and he's like that's all we got uh i was curious what their selection was going to be he did apologize he said i'm sorry we can't get the name brand stuff.

Which kind of made me sad. What does that mean? Lucky Super Soft. Why can't he get the name brand? I don't know. Maybe he's just not buying in bulk enough. Oh. I don't know.

So how is it? It was not good. I wanted to, I'm not just saying that just to make this story. It had a weird texture. It was very hard. It was difficult to get came out of the tube. It was difficult to get it out of the tube. You used your two hands to squeeze it out.

Lucky super soft. Yeah, you're right. It was kind of super hard. It was very chalky in the mouth. Well, it might be very old, too. How many people are buying this thing? I didn't even want to look for an expiration date or anything. I only needed this for two days, and I had to buy the two-pack. I went to throw it away.

Um, and I was like, well, I'll just like leave it on like a park bench. Someone else, maybe they need it. So one's floating around in Topeka right now. Okay.

The other one I left in my dressing room after Wichita. But wow. Um, anyway, that was the story of me trying to get freaking toothpaste and Topeka and you were probably, I don't know Topeka super well, like besides where I've been,

but I don't think there's a ton of like suburbs or anything, but I don't think you were, you were probably, I don't know Topeka super well, like besides where I've been, but I don't think there's a ton of like suburbs or anything, but I don't think you were, it sounds like you were in the city. I mean, think of it. Yeah, I mean, it was a. It wasn't like there was a residential area with like Walmart close or something like that. Yeah, nothing that it was close by. And yeah, it was just interesting.

This is a, yeah, just a friday afternoon beautiful day out and i'm just taking a stroll taking topeka by storm i just i mean how often has that guy ever been the smoke shop guy ever been asked for toothpaste that just cracks me up i mean just you and or me or time any of us in a smoke shop in general is just a funny scene yeah get me out of there i would have no i have nothing no contributions you know what i mean i couldn't talk about anything with that guy for about his job so um paul malls is that a thing paul blart marlboro marlboro um couldn't couldn't i wouldn't smoke though just because i couldn't say it yeah my parents had an opportunity to move into a house on i think it was like

whipperwill or something like that like we can't say it super well, so we're not going to move there. Superwill. That's tough. So that's that. And then we'll get on to, I could share more about other cities later. But first, should we get, should we pull back to Kernel? Should we get a little transparent? Hey, Ghosties. Oh, yeah.

Permission to be pretty honest with you guys? For the first time ever on the podcast, I know we lied about Brad's kid. Yeah. But this, we got to be honest with you guys? For the first time ever on the podcast, can I be honest with you guys? I know we lied about Brad's kid. Yeah. But this, we got to be honest with you guys a little bit. Yeah, go ahead. Honestly. Hey, I'll go ahead.

Honestly. I'll pull it up. Good Ranchers, the beloved longtime sponsor Good Ranchers, has let us know that they are ending their contract with us. Yep. But it's up to you to change your minds.

We're not going down without a fight. We're recording this. This is true. This is real. Yeah, I don't know if there's any... Tyvin doesn't know what we're talking about, so I think Tyvin's kind of like, what's going on here?

How honest is it going to be? No, this is real. I can't imagine many podcasts sharing details of their contracts with you, but that's how we roll around here. I mean, Good Ranchers, obviously you can imagine Good Ranchers, obviously, you can imagine, Good Ranchers and Main Street Roasters

that they were wanting. And so right now, as of now, they're saying this is the last week with you guys. But we are convinced. We are so hopeful. I mean, I literally emailed them. I was like, do you want us to go to the Indianapolis 500 and do interviews at the thing? Do you want us to wear chicken and cow costumes for a month for you guys?

We'll do whatever it takes because this is such a big thing for us to have this sponsorship show. We're just asking you guys as fans of us, fans of Good Ranchers, please buy some meat if you eat it.

Just figured, hey, might as well, let's do another PowerPoint. We don't have to do it right now.

I have a random little story. Brad, back to you. I was at Main Street Roasters East the other day, a.k.a. our local McLean's Market. Saw a ghosty today this morning. Yeah. Shout out Allie. Allie?

And her husband. We didn't meet him, but he's a fan of her. Mr. Allie. Sure. Was going through the drive-thru getting some food for my wife and this guy who I'd seen, I mean, he's a, he's a regular worker. We see him all the time there, but it's funny. Like I definitely know a few of the workers names. I don't know all of them, but we're like friendly to each other. Girl with the new hair. What's her name?

Don't know. Cornrows. Cool, cool hair though. Yeah. Look like a whole new person. Really long too. Surely those are though. Yeah. Looked like a whole new person. Really long, too. Surely those are extensions or something. I'll ask. She didn't seem like she had that long of hair before. Anyway, this guy. I've been thinking about it all day, man. I can't focus now.

I can't get this girl out of my head, man. How long was her hair before the cornrows? So cool. No, this guy was in the drive-thru taking my you know whatever taking my money take my money and uh he's like he's like what's your name he's like i want to say is it is your name shane and i was like no it's brad he's like oh i knew it was something i see you hidden here with your family all the time man i never want to like bother you but i just want to say i'm like i'm a fan fan of yours. I'm like, Oh, thanks, man. Yeah, that's awesome. Cool. And

then I left and I was like, surely this guy doesn't think I'm Shane Gillis. Like there's no way. I mean like Shane Gillis, if you don't know, he's a comedian. He's not as big as me, but he's a bigger guy and he is a million times more popular than me. He just hosted SNL. One of the most popular comedians in the world right now. Just had a Netflix special. This guy's big time. I'm like, but,

but like, why'd you think my name was Shane? Why Shane specifically? And like, why were you like worried to like talk to me? If you're a big fan of me, you would know I'm not that big of a deal. That's funny.

Anyway, I didn't think about it at the time. And then somebody sent me a, like one of my friends sent me a gift of Shane Gillis and was like and was like this reminds me of yours and i was like wait a second i've never thought about you guys looking that similar but yeah you don't look not alike and he's like one of his big bits that he's known for is that he talks about looking like a special needs kid so yay yeah i don't know i don't know i don't know if i look like shane gillis or not but anyway that's the thing so um yeah i don't i didn't know what to think of that i don't i don't know if I look like Shane Gillis or not, but anyway, that's the thing. So, um, yeah, I don't, I didn't know what to think of that.

I don't, I don't, I, maybe it's just a random word or random name. He's throughout there. Surely, surely he doesn't think Shane Gillis just hanging out in Kansas city, going to McLean's all the time. Loves the, yeah. The CBS or McLean's. Yeah. So anyway, that's kind of fun.

So random. You might be Shane Gillis to that guy. So, yeah. yeah so anyway that's kind of fun so random you might be shane gillis to that guy so yeah i and if he did think you were shane gillis he was probably very confused when he said brad yeah he's like oh this whole time he thought you were shane gillis so you're because maybe maybe what's happened you know we filmed a few things in mclean so maybe somebody's been like you know those two guys they they're they do videos and they're like comedians they do stuff like he's like oh yeah i think i recognize that guy and so maybe he's not a fan like, you know, those two guys, they, they're, they do videos and they're like comedians. They do stuff like, he's like, Oh yeah, I think I recognize that guy. And so maybe he's not a fan at all, you know what I mean? But he's just like, he's, I would say if I saw anybody that I knew I'd seen on a screen somewhere, I would say, Hey, I'm a big fan of yours.

I think we just started doing that in general. Two things. First you say, I don't have my belt on, but second of all, I am a huge fan. I don't even have my belt on huge fan. Just anybody just told his operator. All right. Need a receipt today? No, but huge a huge fan. I don't even have my belt on. Huge fan. Just anybody. Just told his operator. All right. Need a receipt today? No, but huge fan of yours. Keep it up. Just want to say huge fan though.

Dude, I've been, yeah, I've been for a while now. Been loving your stuff. Man, huge fan. Yeah. Thank you. That's fun. Yeah. Hey, huge fan of you guys.

That's a nice thing to say. In my group, me with my, all my camp friends the other day, my, one of my friends out of nowhere just texted, I got one and then asked me a question. And I called him up. We were talking on the phone later. I was like, what did you mean by I got one? He's like, honestly, I don't even know why I said that.

And so now we've just been like sprinkling in, I got one. I got one. I got one. Out of nowhere. Hey, I got one. Hey, try this one on for size. So maybe it's the same thing. Hey, I'm a big fan. I got one. Hey, try this one on for size. So maybe it's the same thing. Hey, I'm a big fan.

I got one. Anybody ever called you Shane? So super random, but. Fun. The final city of the stretch, the Fiji of the four, really, is Wichita, which I've spent some time in Wichita before,

and I really like Wichita. We have good friends there. I've been in some of the suburbs, you know, Andover, Derby. That was nice. I think Wichita before, and I really like Wichita. We have good friends there. I've been in some of the suburbs, you know, Andover, Derby. That was nice. I think Wichita's great. I have nothing but good thoughts about Wichita. But wherever the Orpheum Theater

is located, that area of downtown Wichita is, I've never seen anything like it. So, and I looked, I was trying to figure out, what part of Wichita are we in? Maybe it's weird, but it's like, if you zoom in on the word Wichita, like, that's where we are. I mean, it is the center of it. You're right in the middle. So it's just the center of the town. Was it on Rock Road? I don't know about Rock Road. Kellogg? Oh, Kellogg. Those are like the two roads that everything is on in

Wichita. I saw Kellogg. I got all up in that town because I had to go pick up, I had to Uber to a rental, to get a rental car from their airport, drive it back. Then I was like, I go to some pickleball courts, drive it back. Hey, it's not my quick trip okay but i also did my run around town and as i'm starting to run uh it's just very fascinating so this is saturday afternoon it is 70 degrees outside it's the day before easter and there's not a soul in this town uh so i don't know i just started thinking i was like maybe a town of this size the downtown areas they just don't know. I just started thinking. I was like, maybe a town of this size, the downtown areas, they just don't have it. But everything is closed down. So, Tommy, it doesn't matter what order you click

on any of those pictures I airdropped to you. But I just started taking them really just to show Rachel. I was just like, you got to look at this town. So that's just like completely empty on the inside. Maybe it's happened to me driving by when I was taking a picture. I was like, well, of course it was. That building's empty. Well, it's empty? It's not like a school? Yeah, nothing on the inside. like, well, of course it was. That building's empty.

What, it's empty? It's not like a school? Yeah, nothing on the inside. Oh, it looks like an old school. That's really pretty. Just no cars anywhere. There's plenty to look at, but... Do you think... Sorry, go ahead. Just everything's... Oh, there you go. Another empty lot. That's all boarded up.

Looks like a huge former apartment complex. Nothing going on lot. That's all boarded up. Looks like a huge former apartment complex. Nothing going on there. That is a place that used to be some kind of homeless shelter called Open Door. It says agency closed. And then look to the right side. It says no camping allowed. So that's been a problem, I guess.

Especially if it's not open for them to come for homeless. They would camp out i guess yeah i guess so um so it was just like kind of sad and just everything's run down and weird it just there's no people there's no ghost town yeah and these are all different angles these are all different spots of downtown you can't find a business if you do find a business they're closed like if they do have a business like with stuff in it. So it's very interesting. The people you do see is there are a good amount of homeless people in the area and that's okay. And I'm, uh, I got done with my run as I'm running. I realized, Oh shoot, Caitlin Clark was playing right now. And so as I walked back to the venue, I'm,

I've got my AirPods in and I'm watching the Iowa game on YouTube TV. And as I'm just walking back, a car pulls up next to me and they roll their window down. And it's a woman. She says something to me and I didn't hear her. So I take off my AirPods and I noticed she has like a big cardboard box kind of in her lap. And there's a bunch of like brown paper bags in it. And she grabs one. She said, I said, are you hungry?

Do you need a meal i was like oh my gosh she thinks i'm homeless i or at least she's passing them out i look like a homeless guy jeez um yeah i couldn't believe that i i've never been confused to be homeless before but i was just like that is so nice yeah i'm good though i am giving toothpaste caterings on the way uh brought me the orpheum tonight so sorry i had to take my airpods out to hear you um no sweet of her to ask yeah oh no it totally was so that is so nice that good for her she's passing out meals and i wonder if it i don't think this is the case but like i wonder if it's like a business area but it just looks like it's just a rough like part of town's just not... There's parts of Kansas City,

I don't know if they're that abandoned on the streets, but I've seen buildings like this in Kansas City. But like, yeah. It's just everywhere. It's crazy. It's more interesting. I wanted someone from... Here's what I know.

Ghosties in Wichita. I just want you to explain. I'm so curious. What's happening to your town? Yeah, Patience Axeman. Tell us what's up. She's a fan. Yeah, yeah.

I think there's like... Yeah, I don't know. She's a fan. Yeah, yeah. I think there's like I don't know. I know that like Wichita has pockets. I mean, just like Kansas City has pockets, but it's like there's pockets that are like pretty high crime rate. And then there's like very uber wealthy people in Wichita. Sure. Coke Brothers. Coke Brothers.

Yeah, exactly. Papa John's. Pizza Hut. Is Boeing in Wichita? Used to be. They're in Seattle now, I think. But yeah,. Is Boeing in Wichita? Used to be. They're in Seattle now, I think. But yeah, that was something in Wichita. Fun. I got confused for a homeless person. Get back to the green room.

And before I could even say anything, Mikel walks in and he goes, yo, is this city abandoned? I was like, dude, I was just texting Rachel. This city is insane. And then Mikel's like, dude, did anyone get barked at by a guy in a red truck?

And we're like, what? And he's like, yeah, this guy in a red truck just kept following me around, just like yelling at me and cussing at me and barking at me. And then in walks Derek and is like, you guys talking about the guy in the red truck? And I was like, yes. Some guy in a red truck has just been terrorizing people in Wichita. Just barking, not even giving them words.

I think just like, we don't want you in this town. Get out of here. Just like weird stuff. Yes, Wichita was wild. It was pretty fun. We all had a lot of good stories today. Everyone's sharing stories. But what'd you do in Wichita?

What'd you do? Yeah. Interesting. Because I feel like the people I know that are from Wichita are very proud of Wichita. I'm sure if you're in a nice suburb, Wichita's awesome.

Yeah. But that's the thing. Wichita doesn't really have suburbs. They have Andover, and then Derby's kind of a suburb. But for the most part, people live. Wichita's just a big city. Just like North Wichita.

Yeah, or whatever. East side of Wichita. Yeah, so maybe you're just in the wrong central Wichita. Yeah, just in the middle of it. Downtown or... It was interesting. Well, Overland Park is nice,

so just remember that when you're thinking of Kansas being a little bit rough. Hey, Overland Park is nice, so just remember that when you're thinking of Kansas being a little bit rough. Hey, Dawson County. We got some nice areas over here. Last thing I'll say, and then I'll move on from all this, is I think you, Brad, are going to love this story.

Nothing's going to top the toothpaste and the smoke shop story, man. Whatever. After every show, I will go out to the lobby toothpaste and a smoke shop story, man. I, you know, whatever. After every show, I will go out to the lobby and say what's up to ghosties. And it happened every show this weekend. It was great to meet all the ghosties who are out there. And Wichita show gets over, and I start walking out to the lobby

and get out to kind of the first part of the theater. And I just kind of keep walking, and I can't really find Isaac anywhere. I'm not sure where he's at. And then walk out to what I think is a lobby and big area. There's a ton of people and walk out there and kind of keep walking and keep walking and no one says anything. And then eventually

I just walked all the way out of the theater. It was the Wichita walk of shame. So not a single person stopped me. I just kept walking and walked all the way to the back door and went back into the video. You're trying to make eye contact. That's amazing. It's never happened before.

I've never not got stopped. What'd you guys think of the opener? You're like walking past people trying to make eye contact. Hi, how you doing? I'm like making sure. Did I change clothes? Do you recognize my voice? Probably, because I was up there earlier. Leo, Titanic. That one usually gets a big laugh. Come on.

Kennedy's. Dallas. People hate Dallas. The jet? No. The jet from the bidet? Yeah. Sheltered. I'm a sheltered kid. I'm him. You know? Jacob. The four-seat ring size. Yeah. Come on. Bowling alley.

My dad's an idiot. Come on. Anything, guys. Just hang on. You're like, look at the security camera or security guard. Like, did you see the show? What did you think? You heard it, right?

They had my microphone on earlier. Well, I did see Patience Axeman say, I was at the show, but I had to take my friend to her car, classic Wichita, and then come back and they wouldn't let her back in. So you had at least one on the outskirts. I mean, I saw a Facebook post. We were like, I'm so excited to see Jake tonight. I knew there were people waiting for me. I thought, man, and yeah, I just walked all the way out there and just kept on walking. As you were like starting the story, I was going to ask later, I was going to be like, has there ever been a time

where you just don't see, because in my head you said, I see ghosties, I talk to ghosts. I was like, that'd be so fun to talk to ghosties because I'm sure you feel like they really know you.

If somebody's like, hey, I love your videos, thank you, whatever. But if somebody's like, hey, I'm a ghostie, it's like, oh, you're like my friend. Yeah, you know intimate details

of my wife and what the street I live on. Right, and so I was going to ask, it's like, oh, you're like my friend. Yeah, you know intimate details of my wife and what the street I live on. Right, and so I was going to ask like, do you ever find it where you just don't meet any ghosties? You just meet like jean shorts people only? Sounds like there's times where you just don't meet either. Yeah, you go you just strike out. Wow. So yeah, my first ever walk

of shame in which I just walked I just did a full circle. Girl in the parking lot said she liked the show. Okay, so you didn't bat zero. You batted maybe 75. Yeah, I had a foul tip. You went on base because the catcher dropped the ball. Yeah, I got to first on a

strikeout. She had braces on, so I'll take what I can get. Adult with braces or? No, child. Nice. Yeah. Mom did say a word. Bob and kid did. So that was nice of her. That's great. So yeah, full circle.

Wichita Walk of Shame. And that's the last show. So you have to live with that now. Yeah, I'll never perform again. Yeah. Where are you going? You got, what do you got this week? Denver.

Two shows at Denver, two shows at Salt Lake. Oh yeah, the special. Yeah. Had to get the haircut. Are you going to put it on jean shorts? What are you thinking this time? Sure. Yeah?

I don't see why not. You film both of them and you just kind of like splice back and forth? Or do you try to just be like, hey, this is my best one. I'm just going to put all this one up there. The last show, well, last time I filmed it, I remember my second show just being like, I think everything with the second show is great. I should just post that. Yeah.

But I had certain moments of crowd work, which were a little better from the first show. So I was like, let's try and... I made it so complicated for myself. Oh, okay. Fit in things of both. Tricky part of doing that though is like your hair has got to look the exact same in both. Your shirt needs to look the exact same in both.

Do you think about... You film people. Maybe probably time more than you, but probably both of you. I think about like the continuation aspect of shows. Continuity. Yeah. I can't stop looking at it.

Oh man. Continuity is so impossible. It's such a hard thing to like figure out. Yeah. Cause most obviously shows are multiple camera angles. And so like, whatever, somebody's like taking a drink and then the next time it's in their left hand.

Yeah. Or something like that. I noticed stuff like that a lot. I always notice it too. Do you too? Yeah. And so I probably care too much where it's like, it's a comedy special.

Like your hair can look a little different for one joke. Yeah. You're way more critical of that than anybody else. But... Anyone seen that one Bo Burnham special where he's like,

what's the deal with continuity ears? And then middle of that sentence, his shirt changes colors or like in his arms, like it completely changes. Like it was done on purpose. That's great. So that's kind of fun.

Maybe you should do that. I should steal his joke. Yeah. Bo Burnham. He's pretty great so uh yeah that'll be fun found a new outfit i think i wore a new shirt and i came out of dressing room michael was hyping me up so i was like well great this is the shirt i'm wearing for the special what is it it's the shirt i proposed it actually it's like a cream colored like waffle

knit like long sleeve oh yeah the shacket kind of thing uh no sans shacket we're taking the shacket off leaving the the waffle knit on oh Oh, I'm sorry. The under. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hot. People like it. Do some push-ups beforehand. Get those pecs popping. Some veins going. What's up, you Salt Lake? Love it, dude. So it'll be fun. That's fun. Yeah, I'm excited

for you. I would love to see you just dominate some Salt Lake. I think Salt Lake's going to be a good one. It is going to be good. I've just been really enjoying stand-up lately. It just feels like Lucas wasn't here this past weekend, so I got to do 30-minute sets, and I tried new stuff, and the new stuff

is working really well. It's just like, man, it's fun. It's fun performing. I was telling you at coffee this morning, but yeah, the famous Ghostrunner story from March of 2020 where I got to performing and thought we were trending when in reality um the world was shutting down if you remember that story i was like are we trending yeah uh i turned that into a stand-up bit and told that on stage this weekend and that went really well that was fun tried some other new stuff so that that would be a thrill to to try something new because obviously that's exciting

in and of itself because you don't know if it's going to go well. And so that, that aspect of it's fun. And then when it pays off, it'd be double thrilling. Yeah. It's so nice. Yeah. It's more of a relief rather than like joy. It's like, thank goodness it's not silent. Oh man. But like, like the, like the twisted part of me is like, you know, like I want to, I want to keep like punishing myself and doing stuff like that to myself. Do a new, do a new one. Yeah. Say no, try it again. See if you can go one farther. Just like make it awkward for yourself. So, uh, so yeah, standups fun. That's fun. I have a, uh, two year old in my house. Her name is Rosie. Yeah. March 29th. I met her. Um, yeah, it was her birthday.

Give it up for Rosie. First of all, she's so fun. She just like specifically like she does this thing where she kind of has like this raspy sounding voice when she gets excited. And so like ask me something that she would say yes to like something that she wants or like whatever. And by the way, it's kind of more fun if, if she's like struggling. So like, let me say a few things and you don't understand it at first. Right. Okay.

So I'm like, okay, daddy, daddy, Rosie, you want, you want salt on it? Oh,

you want, you want dinner? Do you want dinner? That's what she does. It's kind of an in. And then, yeah, it is.

So it sounds like a call of duty zombie. She does kind of have this like monster sounding thing. Yeah. It is so sounds like a call of duty zombie. She does kind of have this like monster sounding thing. Yeah, it is so funny though. She is. I was telling Catherine the other day. I was like, I think she's going to be like everybody's favorite out of all, like, I mean, who knows about Henry, but like bow and Hattie are so sweet and so like cute, but they're way more reserved when you first see them, you know, even, even when they come to your house, sometimes there's like shy, they might talk to you. They might

not. Uh, whereas I think Rosie's always like, yeah, yeah. Like you want, you want me to hold you, Rosie? She'll, she'll let you hold, like, she's just fun, playful. Um, so anyway, it was her birthday on Friday. Um, real quick, can I play the call of duty zombie yell and just see what it sounds like? Sure. It's an ad! Is that what she sounded like? That was not what I was imagining. Somebody dubbed that with Rosie's face or something. Go on with your story?

Sorry about that. Yeah! My mistake. Anyway, it was her birthday. So we did what any, you know, homeschool Christian family would do when the birthday's on Good Friday. We went to Good Friday service.

Yeah. No, but before that, we had breakfast for her and Catherine had the idea. You know, Catherine's staying home with Henry, but she's like, I thought it'd be fun. We have a pet store right down the street from our house.

Oh yeah. Did you know this? Is this, well, no. Which one? It's like Neiman road and shiny mission parkway, like across the street from the post office. Yeah. She's like, I, I've never been, but I've like, I remember K-Life kids would say it's a pretty fun place to go.

And so, first of all, I looked up reviews the night before to see what time it was open and everything. It is hilarious to read reviews on pet shops. Really? Like, I mean, it's people just have very strong opinions on animals. So I might offend people talking about it, honestly. But like, or people might be like, that's cruel to animals, whatever it is. I don't know. Some people are like, I just can't even go in there.

I feel so bad for these animals. I'm like, I get it. They're probably not being treated the best, but they're animals. So I don't, there's a lot worse things going on in the world that I want to worry about. Um, anyway, so we go in there. First of all, I didn't tell the kids where we were going. I just said, we're getting in the car, we're doing something fun. So we'd go there. I mean, it's like three minutes from our house. So no, no time at all. We stop Hattie starting to read really well. And so like, she's like pet stop, you know? Oh, know oh fine and i'm like we're not buying anything first of all yeah we're just looking um had a blast in there dude first of all you'd never guess it unless you've been i don't

think uh in the middle of this pet store is a massive cage i mean mean, from floor to ceiling. Like it would fit Big Bird, a cage for Big Bird? It probably fit Big Bird. He wouldn't have much room. Okay. But I tell you who did have room is a monkey. They had a monkey, a live monkey in this stage. Dude.

There's a monkey a mile from our house right now? Yes. Apparently he's been there for like 10 years. Oh, he's old. He's a seasoned monkey. Dude. What in the world? Okay, we talked about this okay we talked about a monkey i don't know rhesus i have no idea um i don't know what are the monkeys snickers that's what i heard no chips ahoy what who that cares um i don't know what his name is freaking not rages so um trying to think of like the most like obscure i don't know oh henry

what do you want to be zero um the reese's monkey oh they're not cute that's like something to do with whatever time to figure out what what uh monkeys we can choose it from but anyway you know what monkeys in there well we talked about last week how um or whenever that was how you know this is a zoo, whatever. And that just means like nothing's going on. They're asleep, dude. Don't go to just pro tip for you. Don't go to zoos. If you want to see some animal action, go to fricking this pet store in Shawnee, Kansas, go to a mismanaged pet store. This monkey. Okay. We got capuchin capuchin. I don't know how to pronounce that. Capuchin. I think it's one of those, probably.

Also, that picture and the CBD picture on here. CBD? Exact same. Oh, they are. Oh, Kathy McDonald would love the CBD. It's not hemp. I like that one. It's just called Night Monkey.

They ran out of names. What's the name of that one that comes out at night? It's just a bummer when English people name it. When it's named by Latins, it's like the Pythelicidae. But then this one, we're like, well, we find it at night, so we call it the night monkeys. Dude, the Pythicidae is...

I don't know if that's a living creature. That's a skull or something. That's the bone. Oh, it's like extinct, it looks like. Oh, that's cool that they showed us an extinct one yeah just in case and now it says old world monkeys but dude i'm telling you this monkey right from the get-go i mean they i don't know what they're doing this thing but i mean it is flying up and down like hitting this thing i mean and rosie is loving don. Dante, Dante, like the whole time.

Dante, Dante. I mean, I would have paid $2 to go back. $2 per kid. Like, that's worth it for me right there. I mean, this thing is like smacking this towel that it has. And he's like, it looks more like a gorilla than a monkey. I'm boiling that they're caged right now. I mean, he's like jumping from limb to limb,

coming up right up to Rosie. He's got a little water spout. He's like sucking on his... Right in front of Rosie. I mean, for 30 minutes, this monkey was very entertaining. I just looked up Pet Stop, and I'm sad that it's closed. I want to go right now. Yeah.

Let's go sometime we'll um family owned since 1976 dude so this place oh look at this monkey dude yeah you find any pictures yeah time you can put one up on what's he up to in there dude yeah that's what i'm saying like i know people out there are gonna like have sympathy for the monkey i understand where you're coming from yeah i mean I mean, he just has no... Probably shouldn't be cooped up in that small of a space. Is he there to be bought? I don't think so. I did not see a...

Did you see a price tag? This is unbelievable, dude. But yeah, look, I mean, just right there in the video, the swing is moving because that monkey is so active, dude. They're lacing his food with something. And all the workers...

Oh, by the way, that rope did not exist when I was there. You could get as close as you wanted to. Rosie was touching that cage. It was double-walled, like two cages. But, like, I mean, she was touching it. I think you know that it is some sort of rhesus monkey. Good going. Okay, so...

I can't believe they just have a monkey in the middle unbelievable of a primarily what dog and what little fish action dude make some reptiles a decent little selection okay like in the back it said inside zoo or indoor zoo it had so many snakes tarantulas uh iguanas they had a rhino uh oxalotls yeah Yeah, rhino. They had a Charizard. But brother... Oh, I don't like this picture. They're just 20 mice in a cage. That was the worst. They sell them in bulk.

Rosie did make a noise. She goes, uh, uh, uh. It's okay, Rosie. It's okay. It's okay. But I was on edge. Catherine was like, you didn't take very many pictures or anything. I was like, I was so worried that one of my kids was going to accidentally yeah the monkey grabbed my phone i couldn't because yeah because like if you look first of all maybe this is normal katherine was like i think it's they just clipped their wings or

whatever i don't know how birds work i just assume if i buy a bird they're going to be able to fly you get the full bird right these birds dude like... You were just looking at a snake. You're like, it had nothing on its side. Oh, yeah. I'm not big in evolution, but I swear this is not a bird. But these birds,

I mean, they were in open air cages. And just chilling. Open air cages. You put something in their food, too. Dude, same with bunnies. What do you think of when you think of bunnies? What do they do?

Hop. Hop. Celebrate Easter. I mean of bunnies? What do they do? Hop. Hop. Celebrate Easter. I mean, these cages were a foot and a half tall. They've lost their will to hop. Also, dude,

let's play a quick game here. Let's, let's, Price is Right. All right. One dollar. Yeah. What's the Price is Right

theme song? I can't remember now. That's Family Feud. Yep. the price is right theme song i can't remember now but i'm bum bum but that's family feud yep yeah yeah that's it so um okay price is right just guess how much these things cost what animal we're talking oh the clipped birds no no let me tell you all like i'll just give you a gambit and i am 95 sure i remember the numbers but can i go quick press right theme song yeah i'm ready copyright copyright um all right uh we'll go cockatiel first it's a type of bird how much do you think cockatiel is? Those are the white-ish yellow. Don't ask me any more questions. Okay.

I don't remember. He's not taking questions at the time. It had a word in front of it, I think. Something cockatiel. Male. No, it was somewhere I didn't know. It had some Latin word. I think these are not just your average bird.

This is $39.99. Okay. And then they had another bird. Crap, what was it? This is where late night recording is hard. What's another popular bird? Cockatiel and a... Parakeet.

Parakeet. I think it was. Thank you. No problem. Now, parakeet, those are... I have no idea. I've never thought about bird prices. That's $19.99.

Okay. I think... Can I put mine in? Sure. Okay. I think cockatiel, $80. Parakeet, $15. Okay.

What about a ferret? Oh, those stink yeah but snake with fur um they seem kind of fun sorry 35 dollars ferret uh 45 okay how about any chinchilla people out there yeah okay big time yeah i'm always talking about he was actually terrified of that. It was like in a fishbowl. It was just like cooped up. It looked like a massive mouse in a fishbowl. Circular mouse. Yeah.

I think it's one of those things like as a kid, I think they loved it. As an adult, it's like this place is kind of dark. Thumbs up. Yeah. A chinchilla, 25. Okay. Chinchilla, it goes for, there's a discount. It's $12 right now.

Okay. How about hamsters? I never thought about any of this stuff before. Hamsters and gerbils. Let's go back to that. Yeah, $20. $20 a pop. $20?

Both. Yep. They're two different prices. $30 for a hamster, $18 for a gerbil. Okay. That's all I can remember. I remember the dogs. Average price for a hamster, 18 for a gerbil. Okay. That's all I can remember. I remember the dogs. Average price for a dog.

I don't even know this, dude. We always got them for free from the pound. Catherine was like, we bought a purebred black lab back when I was a kid for $75, what she said.

This is a Johnson County pet. Are these dogs old, new? No, they're puppies. Oh. Give me a lab for 99 bucks. I guess it's 150. Okay. Okay, so let's go cockatiel slash parakeet.

I think cockatiel, $750. I didn't bid too much. I beat Tyron. I'm pretty sure parakeet or whatever the other bird was. One of them was $750. one of them was like $450. Crazy. For the parakeet? Dude, I'm convinced these people are having some underground thing

and they're just fronting it as a pet shop. No one's buying these. Cockatiel, not bad. Let's see. What if I told you their lifespan was 10 years? Would that be worth it? I'm pretty sure all the dogs were roughly $1,200.

Oh. Yep. I think the hamsters were $40. Gerbils $75. Gerbils more. Chinchillas $200. Wow. Ferrets $400. I could not have been stupider with this game.

Dude, I would have been right there with you guys, though. You're telling me I could buy an iPad or a ferret? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Who in their right mind is paying $400 for one of those things? I could go. I could fly, stay in a nice Airbnb, and spend eight days in Kauai, or I get one cockatiel that won't shut up and doesn't have wings.

And doesn't fly. Yeah, the one thing it's supposed to be able to do. Yeah. I was picturing like, okay, these aren't, for some reason I was thinking these are kind of run of the mill. This is like a pet shop.

They're not purebred. They're all just like, but this seemed like, that seems insane. I mean, it's a dingy floor in this pet shop. Don't think this is like a nice pet shop that we're in here. I found a review. It's next dingy floor in this pet shop. Don't think this is a nice pet shop that we're in here. It's next to a food for less or something like that.

And the other side might be abandoned. I don't know what's on the other side. Abandoned, that's what I said. What did you say? Of the pet shop. Doesn't matter. I just think that's not the nicest area. There's a vape store nearby there. It's not like a very.

Yeah, exactly. I found a review on Petco.com. It says $400 for a cockatiel. LOL. You could buy Indian ring neck for that amount. I don't know what animal. Yeah. Tell him you tell him.

So yeah, I could be wrong a little bit on those prices, but it was something. I remember ferret for $400 was a wild cockatiels. You said seven 50. One of the birds was seven 51 of them was 400 something. Wow. Yeah. I mean, just insane,

man. There's a Reddit post called wire cockatiels. So cheap. So maybe who's your cockatiel guy. That's what I'm saying. Like it, it seemed when I saw ferret $400, I thought this place is just way overpriced because I can't believe it. That's what I'm saying. Like, it seemed, when I saw ferret $400, I thought, this place is just way overpriced.

Because, I can't believe it. That's so funny. A ferret is like a pest turned pet. That seems like something you wouldn't want. Agreed. You have ferrets in your basement? You're not like, sweet. Yeah.

I'll sell this for profit. Dude, nice. We got a problem on our hands. Yeah. They did have the mice. Mice were like $1 or something, I think. Maybe $3. I can't remember.

Were the mice sold for food, right? For snakes and stuff? Yep. Yeah. They were white with the red eyes. No thank you. So anyway, they had these other things. They looked kind of like rats,

but it was some word I'd never heard of before. And they were normally $40 on sale for $19.99. I'm like, okay. They're trying to get rid of those nasty things. I'm reading some reviews right now. This is awesome. This review, it starts off by saying, I don't know, period. I, and then D-U-N-N-L.

I don't know. I don't know. Haven't actually been in for years. I love how, I don't know. But where to start? I don't know. But where to start? I don't know. I haven't actually been in for years, but the $5,000 puppies certainly scream puppy mill,

but I don't know for certain on that. That's it. I mean, there's more, but it doesn't seem like there. I don't know. Handy spot for quick supplies. I did not see $5,000, but still. Tyler said, I cried in my car after I left. See, that's what I'm saying.

There's people out there that are like, I read all those reviews and I was like, I don't know if we should go to this place. I read them the day before. I was like, but then I realized that I had accidentally clicked on like a keyword. And so I was reading all the things that said cage in it for the monkey. So all these people were just so sad about the monkey in the cage and the dogs in the cage. And then I went to like all the rest of them. They're like, this is a family institution. My kids love this place. So I took them there. Wow. Didn't put any money in there though.

Do not buy reptiles from this business. They are weak. Is it the business or the animals? Yeah. Also fish are expensive. I mean the whole, nothing was like, Oh, that's cheaper than I thought it would be. Everything was so expensive.

Really? Yeah. Dang. Yeah. That's kind of bummed me out reading these reviews. I'm going to get out of here. I did hear at one point, you know, Hattie's kind of getting more conscious of money and everything.

And I was with Rosie with the dunk day, don't look at the monkey. And she's like perusing around the rest of it. And I was with Rosie with the dunk day, don't look at the monkey. And she's like perusing around the rest of it. And I hear her go 79 99. I don't know what it was for, but she was beside herself too. That's funny. Yeah.

Yeah. Howdy. Jeez. Cause she's all about like, she, I guarantee you if you asked her, she knows exactly how much money she has right now. Yeah.

I have $47.64. That's fun. Yeah. Know your worth. Yeah. Priceless. Cozy Earth is sponsoring this podcast episode again, guys. Are they?

Sorry, it's like a super complicated algorithm. Like, you have to download a program. I don't work in IT. I probably can't. Who's the what'sies and all that stuff, right? Binary zeros and ones. Do I need my CBC for this? It rubbed off.

Yeah. Can you do it on a ROM or do you have to have CD? Mac OS. Which one? Windows XP. Get all that out of your head because all it takes is the promo code GRKC. Capital letters or no? Doesn't even freaking matter.

Doesn't matter. Not case sensitive in here. Caps lock, caps unlocks. Hey, it's your caps. It's your caps, baby. GRKC for 90% full price. So fun. I love that little running joke.

You can get so much coffee for the price of one cockatiel. Jeez. Think about that. I'm just reading all these. I mean, just the word Sumatra gets me going, dude. What is that word? It sounds dirty. No, you're thinking

Rindle Weaver's been following people back on B-Real, like podcast listeners. I've noticed any of my friends that also like ghosties, I've seen that they follow rindle Weaver. Hey, rindle! He's a great guy. Social guy. I'm so excited to hang out with him. Yeah. You don't even know. Him and Chad.

Big Chadwick. Yeah. Fun. Alright, mine is coming from Tori Lynn. Nine four nine five. Five star review. Big Henry fan. Exclamation point. About two years ago, a friend recommended this podcast to me because I mentioned I couldn't find a clean comedy podcast.

This is now the most loyal I've ever been to a podcast. And I truly do feel like you guys are my friends. Heck yeah. Tori, back at you. Like so many who have left reviews, this podcast has helped me get through some tough times. My son, who is also named Henry, let's go, was born seven weeks early back in September. Listening to the hilarious stories and fun games on Ghostrunners

has helped me get through drives to the NICU and late nights when Henry came home. My husband and I even had an impromptu Ghost Hunters-themed date. On one particular tough day, we put Henry in the car because he wouldn't sleep, and we drove around, got Chick-fil-A, and made our own s'mores, for that still exists, all while our son slept so soundly. Oh, car, I get it.

It's so awesome. Just put the baby in the car. I'm truly great with you in the car on and you're moving. get it. It's so awesome. Just put the baby in the car. I'm truly great with you in the car on and you're moving. Got it. I am truly grateful for the two plus years of laughs that you guys have given me. Thank you. Oh, and the other day I noticed that the tag

on my breastfeeding cover says, you got this, mama. Go ahead, Jake. You got this, mama. You're a rock star, mama. Dinner's at your place tonight, mama. You're a rock star, mama. Dinner's at your place tonight, mama. But it's on me, mama. That made me laugh really hard.

Don't get the breast milk on your shirt, mama. If you do, it's okay though, mama. Don't get the breast milk on your shirt. So funny. It's like such a funny thing because you've never had kids, obviously. That's what the bib's for. I just spell out exactly what it's for.

That made me laugh really hard. And now I always think of you guys while I'm breastfeeding at the trampoline park. That's great. Hattie was not born seven weeks early, but Hattie had to go or Catherine had to go to the hospital for Hattie when she was seven weeks

early. From due. Yeah. Ended up being four weeks early. But I understand what it's like having a young, small little baby. And I remember Catherine, I think she had to feed Hattie every two hours at the beginning of, for a while. And so that meant like, by the time that she- That's awful sleep. Yeah. By the time that Hattie got done- I kind of remember that. Nursing.

Yeah. Because she needed so much. Yeah, 45 minutes, maybe 15 more minutes, ideally, to get Hattie to fall back asleep. And then Catherine has one hour, at most usually, to sleep before she has to wake up and nurse again. If I, maybe I'll do this for Rachel. I was going to say, if I was a mom, I would get the nicest recliner, and I'd just this for Rachel. I was going to say, if I was a mom, I would get the nicest recliner.

Yeah. And I'd just sleep topless. And I'd have the baby right here. Just like, wake me up when you need it. And then you just sleep like that and just try to maximize your time as much as you can. Yeah, I remember Catherine, her parents had twins at one point. And so, yeah.

Oh. Just like, yeah. Can you go? Just pass. I think so. At the same time, you can like dual wield. The body is amazing, dude. It'll go? Just pass. I think so. At the same time, you can like dual wield. That's the body is amazing, dude. It'll produce what it needs.

Dude. Hopefully. No. Hey mama. If it's not producing, it's okay. Mama. I kind of went into a little Trump there. Yeah. Okay.

Mama. Okay. I know. I've got a lot of mamas voting. Great mama. Okay. I've had, I have multiple mamas. I don't like the Chinese mamas.

I have many, many mamas. Incredible mamas, multiple wives. I don't like the Chinese mamas. I have many mamas. Incredible mamas, blonde mamas, brunette mamas, fantastic mamas. That's amazing that you can two at a time. As far as I know. Don't quote me on any of it. I would like to see what the human body can do as far as liquid leaving the body. Like, could you be going to the bathroom, double breastfeeding, spitting? You just ate Taco Bell burrito.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, what else? I don't know, man. I'd like to push it to its limits. I bet if you Google with the safe search on, you can find out. Throw in Sumatra while you're at it. Get some public eyes going on. Yeah.

Oh, man. So that's our favorite review of the week. It was that one. Tory Lanez. Is that what you said? Something like that? Tory. Tory.

Yeah. Tory Lynn. Tory Mama. Tory Mama. That's fun. Jingle of the week. What are we thinking? Yeah.

Would anyone like to? People really like timing, so just go ahead and take it away time uh i don't have it i i'm sorry i'm still like halfway alive right now i'm still yeah you got a newborn we got a lot going on during the day yeah it's amazing away coming soon yeah it's amazing like it's just it's just i'm not getting like no sleep but when you don't get enough sleep two weeks in a row for 14 days in a row, I could have done that a while back and now it's like, I feel it, mama.

So anyway, I don't have a jingle. So time in. Go ahead. Jake, do you have an instrumental for me? Yeah, do you want to do another? I don't care. Whatever you want. Let me shut the door real quick.

Rachel might be sleeping. If you guys didn't catch on, we are recording this video pretty late at night. Yeah, I want to know, as I was thinking about this, I mean, we've definitely recorded at 944 like it is right now before, but I want to know what hours of the day

we have not recorded yet. You know, because I think... Yeah. Oh, I hear her voice. She's awake. She's alive and well. what what hours if you could think about it have we not recorded before good question because i know i mean we've recorded probably till we've never done before 8 a.m yeah dude we did one time i'm so dumb i'm a real piece of work boy are you we did one time because I had to go to Texas and you did an all nighter home from Oklahoma.

Oh my gosh. I remember that day. That sucked. Yeah. You drove home and we met at like 6 AM or something like that. Yeah. All night. Yeah.

I remember that. Um, I don't know what the latest, I remember that one time you, me and Scott recorded three in one night. Do you remember that? You know, Latha? Yeah. We were some, we were both going on vacation soon or something. Yeah. And so like, I remember that one time you, me and Scott recorded three in one night. Do you remember that in Olathe? Yeah.

We were both going on vacation soon or something. Yeah. And so like. Or Christmas vacation. I don't know. I mean, we probably got done at three. So maybe like 4 a.m. is like, and I don't know. Between 4 and 5.30.

Never recorded the podcast. Surely we've recorded at like 5 p.m. before, but I can't. That's another one that was kind of like a random spot. Yeah, you're always with your kids eating dinner probably at that time. So I don't know. I can't remember specifically doing it that time. All right, Ty, when you have lyrics ready? I do not.

Oh, he's just winging. Oh, wow. Wayne Brady over here. He Googles ChatGPT. Yeah, interesting. Don't go straight to the- Kind of a boomer energy there, Ty. Do you have a genre?

Right now, I've still got the Price is Right theme song pulled up. I was planning on playing that, but I could do something else. What genre would you like? Good question. Good question. Soulful jazz? I have no idea. Yep.

No problem. Soulful jazz is a tough one there, Tymon. Yep. That was my bad, probably. We'll find out is a tough one there, timing. Yep. I, that was my bad. Probably we'll find out. No, this will be good. It's running me so many. I like this.

What's the song about? Hey, no, don't even tell me. Oh, no. No, a soul, a soulful jazz. If this gets a little bass going, I can feel this. All right, here it comes. Thanks for coming out tonight.

This is a new one. In the hush of the night where the moon softly gleams. Whispers of the heart dance in silent streams. This is the best song I've ever silent streams In the jazz of the soul Where the notes softly sigh

There's a melody weaving in the starlit sky Let the saxophone cry Let the piano keys sway In the rhythm of our love Let our hearts find their way In the soulful jazz Where our spirits align Let the music of passion

Be our timeless design With every gentle chord The story unfolds. Tales of longing and love and melodies untold. Melodies untold. Through the ebb and the flow of the night's tender grace. We find solace and peace in this intimate space. Let the saxophone cry.

Let the piano keys sway. In the rhythm of our love, let our hearts find their way. In the soulful jazz, where our spirits align. Let the music of passion be our timeless design. In the silence. Sweet notes. Hear the whispers of desire. Whoa.

What was that, desire? Whoa, hey, what does that mean? As we lose ourselves in the music, our souls set on fire. Some long pauses here, buddy. Javian. Javian. With every tender embrace and every longing gaze,

in the language of jazz, our love forever plays. So let's dance in the moonlight To the rhythm of our song Fellas, grab yourself a lady In the soulful jazz of love Where we both belong Said it For any shotless arms In this sweet serenade

We'll find heaven on earth Yes we will, brother. Where our love will never fade. Oh, that's good. That was so great. What an instrumental. Well done, Tymon. That was the best song I've ever heard.

That was my favorite song right now. Saxophone cry. We were like, have you been listening to music? Just this one song. It's called Saxophone Cry. It's copyright free. It's awesome. Was it? Yeah. Yeah called Saxophone Cry. It's copyright free. It's awesome. Was that?

Yeah. Oh, man. That's a great time. People have been saying like, oh, we'll be hearing an album or whatever. I should just, just you find random instrumentals. That's great.

I chat GPT the lyrics. Yeah. So easy. The album's called Chat GPT Copyright Free. Yeah. And just there's no metaphors. It's like, what does he mean? That's just that's exactly

what it is. Dude. Yeah. You're 85 percent away from like or to 85 percent towards a really good song already. Yeah. Just figure out the melody

consistent. Yeah. Figure out the chorus and how it goes. And we got it. And you can even like, yeah, Chad, you keep the same lyrics,

but give me a few more syllables per line or something, you know, whatever you need for like the song. Oh, my gosh. I should have told you the pinned comment says it's 80 beats per minute and the key is C minor.

I should have said that. I could have nailed this, too. Yeah, that could have been neat. Great. Good call on soulful jazz, Tywin. Seriously. Thanks. Dang, that was fun.

And the topic of the song, soulful jazz. Tywin's Jatt TVD prompt says, write me lyrics to a soulful jazz period you can start me lyrics to a soulful jazz it got it it did it uh anybody likes that song should look up dub fx the song flow on youtube specifically watch the live version it's like eight minutes long and it's so good it's just a guy like this british british rapper good. Just a guy, like this British rapper guy, this white dude

just like going nuts on a beatbox while a saxophone player plays. Oh, that's my dream. I want to be a British guy. I heard a good saxophone thing. It's called Phoenix by Gallo Street. Look that up. Jake? So if you like saxophone... Bad Blood by Taylor Swift is awesome.

I was just trying to think. Yeah, I got nothing i know uh when i used to i filmed one time for the dj group two friends and they would always hire a local saxist saxophonist and he would come in like it was edm with a live saxophone that was always a local it wasn't like a traveling guy yeah they were like they hired a guy from ku to be their saxophonist of the night that's's dope. Just like, hey, we're in C minor. Figure it out. Yeah, it's jazz. It's jazz EDM. So just go for it.

Be the bop bop, just get jazz. Man, that's fun. That is fun. Fun episode from start to finish. How do you... Como se dice en SAO? SAO. Thanks for listening.
