Jake, it is so hard not to answer a knocked door. Is this like metaphorically? Like, you know, when opportunity knocks, it's hard to prioritize your family. Yeah, man. I mean, Nate Bargetzi just wants me to open for him. No, literally, specifically at my own house, but I just think in general,

it just feels so unnatural for me. I'll go into my room, Henry's in there, and I will shut the door and Rosie can't open the door yet and so she'll just come in very politely just knock on it and it takes everything in me not to open it even though I just was like I know she's about to jump

on Henry this is not a good idea for her to come in here just something psychologically someone knocking at your door like well I gotta let him like Hitler could be at my door and be like I am here. Like, well, maybe he's just needing some cinnamon. I'm not Jewish. No, I'm fine, right?

I don't think he'd do anything to me. I'm like brownish hair now, but I was blonde as a kid. As long as you don't find out about the Asian hair. Yeah. It's a way of describing it. It's American hair. Yeah. When you said that, you know what it reminded me of? One of describing it. It's American hair. Yeah. When you said that,

you know what it reminded me of? One of the only times I've ever had sleep paralysis back in, I'd say, 2015. I'm napping on the K-Life couch. Audrey Chinnock knocks on my front door. Who is?

She was the president of the board of K-Life. Kind of like your... My boss. Yeah, a little bit of a boss. Yeah. And... And she acted like it. Yeah, the only time I've ever had sleep paralysis is they've always been naps

and they've always been some weird way of awakening. So thinking about kind of getting started awake, it woke my brain up, didn't wake my body up, and so I couldn't move. And so I really... I had no problem not answering the knock door because I couldn't move. My eyes opened and I couldn't... Have I ever told you about sleep paralysis? Yeah, it's the knock door because I couldn't move. My eyes opened and I could have ever known about sleep paralysis.

Yeah. It's happened to me like I think twice. Um, yeah. Once at college and once at the cat house. So she's just knocking on the door and could see through the window. I'm just like laying there and knock and I can't move. Really? It sounds like a weird dream or something, but how long you just have to go back to sleep.

What? You can't move. You can't wiggle your way out of it. You can't wake yourself up eventually. Like it's like, I don't know how to describe it. Maybe the internet would do a good job, but it's like there's part of your brain, like there's some cognition that wakes up,

but not enough to like get brain activity to your arms and you're like, you can't do anything. So your eyes were awake. I opened my eyes. You were just staring at this woman. Jake. Jake. I'm breathing.

I'm sleeping! Have you ever... Look, do me a favor. Do a little sleep paralysis. Like trying to wake yourself up. Yeah, it was scary. It really freaks you out. Can you make any noise?

Like, I've never... I hope it never happens to me. But like... I couldn't make any noise. And luckily, I knew what it was. I think I would have been more scared. Like what's happening? Am I dead?

Like what's happening? But a lot of people have like borderline like night terrors, like see things or shadowy figures, a lot of stuff when it comes to sleep paralysis. I've heard,

yeah, it sounds terrifying. I just can't open the door of my board president. But, but yeah, so was that a fun start to the episode? I think think so so they're called night

demons and they're not i mean they're not dementors okay uh-oh oh i do i think this type beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white me too then west best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet I believe we are still presented by Good Ranchers.

7. I got something for the OG Ghosties and for you. Those who listened back in 2020 might remember a familiar character. Ty, have you got to the 2020 episodes yet? I think I'm finishing the 2021s. Those who listened back in 2020 might remember a familiar character. Ty, have you got to the 2020 episodes yet?

I think I am finishing the 2021s. The next episode in the line is the best of 2020. Oh. I'd say, yeah. I'm probably there. Logic tells. Ola, remember him? Every day I'm shuffling.

Saw him yesterday. Really? First time in years. Had jeans on, like always. He was at the Lenexa Pickleball Courts. And he had something I've never seen before. He had a device. It was the size of just like a button, like when your mom comes to your games and wears your button.

Yeah. He had a button like that pinned to his breastplate of righteousness. Yeah. And it was a speaker. And he was playing. i thought it was going to be lmfao no way because from a distance all i could hear is like it was it was like house music it was like edm music so he's still very very european likes the dance music everything i'm shuffling uh but it wasn't uh yeah lmfao i always got a freak out of it when i got closer i was like

it sounds like it's i was like oh it's not quite. It's a copyright free. Yeah. It's like when you see Arnold Palmer mix the lemonade and the tea. It's like, oh, my gosh, he's doing it. That's why they call it that. Yeah. Because of you. So, yeah, it was good to see him.

Never got to play against him or with him, but he was in the vicinity. And yeah, he just so he would go play and just had his own personal speaker clipped to his chest. I never seen anything like that. That sounds like a gunner move. Like gunner seems like he would be the kind of had his own personal speaker clipped to his chest. I've never seen anything like that. That sounds like a Gunner move. Gunner seems like he would be the kind of guy that... I'm so into my own music. Well, and I don't know about Ola,

but Gunner's the kind of guy that gets one of those free from an expo or from a friend or something. Gunner's not buying one. He's like, there's actually not bad though. But Gunner's going to find one and be like, oh yeah, I'm going to use that. I'm not just going to like throw that and junk drawer. So

I don't even know if I recognize Ola. Oh yeah, you would. Really? Oh yeah. Nobody looks like Ola. He's the only one in jeans playing big ball. Was he in jeans with us? Is that right? I don't know. I just every time I've seen him since then, he's always been like a jeans and like a really tight wife beater, but not a white.

It's like a Navy, like a Navy skin tight tank. Very European. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah in jeans and like a really tight wife beater but not a white it's like a navy like a navy skin tight tank very european yeah yeah yeah yeah like not like a white yeah like a just a tank like a cotton tank yeah that's so good so uh that and eyebrow hair that's all i got i i got uh charged two dollars the other day on my credit card for something that I don't think I bought. That's one-ninth of what Tywin would pay for bad Wi-Fi on a flight. Yeah, only $60 more to go. And I decided, as I think a rational person would, not to report it for fraud. What would you – because I started to. I was like, I didn't make this purchase.

I went on the website. Interesting. A fraudulent $2 purchase. But they're like, what a bad criminal. Yeah. They're like, okay,

we will report this for fraud. We will get this taken care of, whatever on the, I don't know. It said so many things and we'll send you out a new card with a new number on it. And I was like, that seems like a lot. I don't want to do that.

I don't want to do that. I have so many things set up for bills and like everything. And so I'm just like, I'll suck it up. That is the genius of the scheme of the $2 fraud charge. That's middle-class fancy right there. You got so many subscriptions lined up. Like $2, he can have $2. I'm not even going to redo my Spotify premium card.

No, but there's so many things. Like, I don't even know what I have. Like, you know, wastewater and like. I think you said, yeah, like gas that are on credit card. Yeah. That's what it is. Switch that. I'm like, I don't want to mess that. And then they let us know three months later, like, Hey, just FYI, you owe us all this money. And I'm like, well, dang it. We're going to turn off your wastewater. Where is that? I don't know how that works. Valve is it? Yeah. So I just let it go. It was this website.

You should go to it. It's ARC. What if I just like put you on some crazy website? ARCBRTH.com. It looks like arc. Arc birth? Birth. And I was like, okay, maybe it's something with, you know, Catherine, whatever.

Like this is the most generic looking website I've ever seen. It says nothing and everything at the same time. It does say nothing. At arcbirth.com, we want to have a positive impact on your customer service experiences. We want you to have a fantastic experience when you speak with us. We exist to solve all your problems and concerns.

We want you to have the solution you need for your problem right away. We want to share our knowledge with you in the quickest, most efficient way. This is, yeah. This is nothing. Sketchy. Yeah. This is nothing.

I was like, Catherine, do you know about this? And she's like, I have no idea. I mean, their phone number is like a UK phone number. I mean, it's definitely fraud. But I'm like, I'm not. But that's the thing. If they do that to a million people, they just hack in for two bucks a piece you just made two million bucks it sounds like they do customer service i mean maybe a company you you've used is outsourcing their

customer service with arc birth maybe it was like a uh credit card charge or something excuse me about that arc birth i googled who uses arc birth oh and it and it brought up Joan of Arc on the right. Okay, so I don't know if you bought her recently Yeah, you might have been scam that's interesting. I think I would have the same thing I think I'm like, well Marty on the website. I'm already here I might as well report it for fraud and then once they're saying all right We'll see you do credit cards like I didn't mean it. No, I could come on button because I have gotten that one time It was like a $400 Best Buy charter. So I was like, well, I didn't mean it oh i clicked the wrong button because i have gotten that one time it was like a 400 best buy chart or something i was like well i didn't make that yeah but yeah they i had to reset all the things and i'm like not for two dollars uh i'm doing well enough in

life i'm not i'm not killing it but i have enough money where i can let that go chip away a little two here a little two there exactly that's fine's fine. Yeah, that's funny. Congrats on getting to that stage. Thanks, man. You're doing all right. Yeah. Hattie would be like, you just gave away $2 for nothing? Like four Tootsie Rolls,

depending on the deal I'm running that day. That's like, yeah, one 200th of a ferret, Dad. Have you been watching much college basketball? Oh, yeah. DJ Burns? Is that the big boy from somewhere? A red school? NC State. You seem like you've been watching a lot of college basketball oh yeah dj burns who's is that the big boy from somewhere a red school nc state you you seem like you've been watching a lot of basketball as well yeah honestly i've watched more women's games than i've watched men's games that's crazy i'm full-on

uh barbie boy now what what like are you watching just every game just iowa okay yeah yeah uh but i'll catch the march madness the men's games you know maybe the second half of them or they're on the bus whatever um but i have uh some poultry of the week okay i my poultry is with gene's territory you know that name oh yeah they will so this is a guy you know we hear from a lot in football if you watch sports like when there's reviews the officials on site will take a look at the replay and make their decision. But while you're kind of waiting, usually the commentators will like, we're going to call in our experts at New York. And it's, it's this guy named Gene Steratore. Yeah. He's like a, like a retired referee. The best in the biz, I assume. I don't know how he got the position.

Do you remember him when he was a NFL ref? Actually, I do. I don't know how he got to the position. Do you remember him when he was an NFL ref? Actually, I do. I can't imagine him. Yeah. Yeah. He kind of looks like this New Yorker kind of guy. Yeah, yeah. Like a Michael Scott with a Sebastian Maniscalco or something.

Like a season one Michael Scott. Yeah, yeah. A slick back. Yeah. So in football, I feel like he normally has some things to say. What's interesting about this rule is if it's an onside kick, you can't, you know, whatever. And you're learning alongside it in basketball every review in basketball is who touched the ball last every time they review a play i feel like that's what it is and every time

we know we all see it doesn't take a referee to see it we it's just it's very black and white who touched it last went off his finger all right went off yellow white ball yeah and not only does this take two to three minutes they bring in gene steritor like all right gene what are you seeing out here we brought our expert he's the best of his all the way from new york gene what's up you squinting here gene he's like yeah i mean it clearly looks like on the on the court they called it black ball but i think i'm seeing what you guys are seeing guys that's right yeah it did go off it did go off white so it looks like if the officials are seeing what i'm seeing it's got to be black ball here you know whatever there's yeah and it's like we all saw that the immediately when they showed us the first replay they're just taking

three minutes what's g how's gene employed it like a hattie could tell you who touched it last this is elementary level i can see who's that who's touching it yeah there's no rules yeah he's got the easiest job in the world. Dude, well, in general, even in the NFL season, he's got the easiest job in the world. Yeah, he usually just agrees with what the status quo is. And even if he gets it wrong, who cares? Yeah, he has no...

There's no punishment for that. Well, I saw different... Well, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they're seeing different angles and I'm seeing whatever. He'll even kind of play that. Well,

I'm sure they have a good reason for it. We'll hear about it after the game. Yeah, dude, nice. That is like the most broken part about basketball in general is like the last two minutes reviews stuff. Like let's go to the tape and make sure like,

even though it was definitely like quote unquote off one guy, one other guy like barely touched it. And I don't like the replay in general. That's not right. You know what I mean? Yeah. There's a little bit of like momentum or like even the momentum of us, of a player that if it goes into the call,

like the defensive guy, like almost kind of bumped into the offensive guy and his arm definitely made contact with the ball at some point. It's like, I could have called a foul there. It said, I'm just going to call the other team's ball. Yeah.

Well now you can replay it. Like technically it actually did go off him. So that was their ball. Yeah. It's like, well could have called a foul there. Instead, I was going to call the other team's ball. Yeah. Well, now you can replay. Like, technically, it actually did go off him. So now it's their ball. Yeah. It's like, well, that stinks. Right. Even though that one guy clearly was like swatting it that way. It was like his fault the ball went out of bounds.

Yes. But not lucky. I appreciate Gene's territory on the flagrant calls. Like, they'll come to him for those. You know? Really? Yeah. Hey, was this bad?

Like, are they going to call flagrant here? Like, oh, no, it's just going to be a common foul. Blah, like, yeah, hey, was this malintent, you know, bad, like are they going to call flagrant here? Like oh no, it's just going to be a common foul, blah blah blah. And he'll say something I didn't know. But I learned in women's basketball and I, they don't call them flagrants. Everything's just called an intentional foul. Okay. Interesting. Yeah. In a couple years, they might call them Draymond's. It's kind of fun.

What do you think about the quarters versus halves? Kind of throws me off when you start watching a game, like how much we got whoa it's already yeah second quarter second quarter yeah women's college basketball i think they've talked about doing it for men's i don't know i don't know i like four quarters that's what we did in high school yeah nba does i know it's only college basketball does halves yeah only men's yeah weird that is that's that's wacky something's up that's bizarre. Yeah, dude. I've enjoyed...

It was a good tournament so far, I think, because the second round of games, Sweet 16 Elite Eight, of course, it's like Final Four National Championship now. It's already over, pretty much, I think, by the time this is recorded. It's been fun because they were competitive. The right teams were in the Sweet 16,

if that makes sense. See, I didn't think that many were competitive. There's a lot of blocks. I was like dying for some close games. Really? Yeah. I'm trying to think off the top of my head. I can't remember.

But I mean, those games yesterday, two days ago, they're fun. Like the teams, the Illinois UConn, UConn's just rolling. If I had to guess right now, they probably- They just won the national championship. Cut down the nets. Yeah.

But like the Purdue, Purdue's fun to watch. They won their first two games by like 80 points total, though. Yeah, they were freaking... Yeah, I mean, that 16 seed. I'm talking about like the sweet 16 games. They just, I don't know. It's just fun basketball. Plus, I just have time to just sit around right now at home.

Yeah, I'll watch basketball. Yeah, I'll watch. Yeah. I'll watch. This is awesome. I think every game I've tried to watch, it's like, this is not a close game. You're like,

ah, dang, they pulled away and now it's a 12 point game. Yeah. All right. No, no, like no March madness.

The NC state Duke game though. Like NC state's crazy. I was, I was trying to explain that. I explained to Hattie yesterday at dinner. I was like, so Hattie, you know,

there's this big tournament going on. That's why I've been watching all this basketball. She's like, I didn't know. I was like 68 teams that started this tournament. And you know, I was like, so Hattie, you know there's this big tournament going on, that's why I've been watching all this basketball. She's like, I didn't know. I was like, there's 68 teams that started this tournament. I was like, they rank them from the best to the worst. This NC State Wolf Pack,

Bo was like, oh, I love the Wolves. I was like, they were... 44th. The 44th best team is what people thought. Now there's only four teams left and they're one of them. What? I explained it in enough detail to where Hattie, like I explained it in enough detail to where Hattie could understand

she was so pumped about it. Beaten Duke. Oh, it was beautiful. And they were down like 12 points, 13 points in that game that came back. Well, that's nice. So I thought that was a good game.

Anyway. Was it close at the end though? It was awesomely not close because freaking. I know. I just want a, I just want a nice good one. Oh dude.

But like, uh, Alabama, who Alabama play. And it was like, or the A and M there was, there's been some close ones. Like,

I think every time I've seen a close game, uh, when a team does have a last second shot, no one's made it. You know what I'm saying? Like there hasn't been that moment where like someone stepped up and made a clutch shot. Yeah.

Everyone has missed the buzzer beater so far. So far. Hey, so far. As we're recording this. Hey, Zach, can you hit a half-court shot? That'd be fun. That'd be so fun. Tymon, your friends have been texting me a lot.

Zach texted me, Happy Easter. Cool. Kind of random. I said, Thank you for not texting me Hoppy Easter. And he said, No problem.

I'll do it again next year. And then he sent me a screenshot of him putting it in his calendar to text me Happy Easter next year. And then your friend Graydon, Thursday at 7.04 p.m., the show's started at 7, he said, hey, Jake, this is random,

but are you in Nebraska? I had not texted back yet, and he texted and said, I think Nebraska, dot, dot, dot he texted and said, I think Nebraska. Dot, dot, dot. And I said, you bet I am. Five minutes from going on stage. He said, good luck. Your spotlight guy is my girlfriend's

uncle. I said, oh, no way. We'll tell him to say hi afterwards, or during. Who's that, Graydon? Graydon's girlfriend's uncle, running the spotlight. And I will say, oh, missed me Who's that, Graydon? Graydon's girlfriend's uncle running the spotlight. And I will say, oh, missed me coming out. I was in the darkness for a little bit.

That's just how it happened. I think if you were asking him, he would say, yeah, I was a little slow. He's like, yeah, I was texting Graydon back. I think I heard either Graydon or Katie, his girlfriend, say that he's just been picking up these these random new jobs so maybe he's not super seasoned oh yeah he wasn't expecting my little light jog out of there maybe yeah uh but anyway so that was fun and that's funny that guy came up to me afterwards like hey i'm a gradence you know yeah girlfriend's uncle yeah yeah i'm sure you just you moonlight on the spotlight thing what do you do here does that happen very often where they miss you?

Yeah, I think if you're the first guy, you get some like some imperfections at the beginning. At the beginning of what show was, it doesn't matter. But the lights were going nuts behind. I'm like 30 seconds into my set and the lights behind me are like off and then back on. And then everything went dark and there was just one single spotlight on me. It was like very dramatic.

I guess I'll just keep telling my jokes while they figure this out. Did you acknowledge it? No, not quite. They fixed it. They were going back and forth pretty quickly. But I was like, I think this is not how it's supposed to be. And one time I was almost in between jokes and they all started laughing. So I think something flashed on the screen behind me.

I was like, what are you guys laughing about? What's happening? I don't like you guys laughing without me knowing it. So yeah, sometimes that happens. There was a comedy club one time where the projector turned on the middle of my set and i think it was like either dateline or 2020 which is projected on me while i was performing tv yeah tv just came on in a recent episode you were that i was listening to you were showing him with that yeah that's funny yeah rough comedy club no one was out there because the green room was back behind the kitchen so i mean just like it's like could somebody fix it and a guy a guy who was just there watching the comedy show just went up and turned the projector off for me so it was nice that's crazy like you should

just like turn around be like i guess if this is on we should watch it what's going on oh wow whoa okay hey human trafficking it's serious take. Take it seriously. It's modern slavery. You guys know about this? Yeah. Look into that. Wow. Um, okay. One of the things on, I've been watching like college basketball, Planet of the Apes.

Let's talk about it real quick. It's been advertised. It's at the pet store. It's in the center of it. What? Okay. Do you remember when we were, I don't know, 12,

like the movies? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were 12, 14, whatever. Planet of the Apes came out like that.

Planet of the Apes was a long time ago, but then they like had a new one come out when we were kids. Do planet of the apes came out like the planet was a long time ago but then they like had a new one come out when we were kids do you kind of remember this yes i do i will say this is kind of like marvel stuff to me i've never watched it don't really know much that's my point with the whole planet of the apes thing i don't know a single person who's into it that's a good point they keep making them and i want to know who is giving them money and they're they're huge budget things right because that's what i'm saying like i've seen ads for them never seen it myself like i don't know look into the latest technology never seen it myself exactly i don't know of anybody who's like

man i i i was at the midnight premiere planet of the apes last night dressed up as an ape yeah got canceled afterwards totally worth it totally awesome yeah i also genuinely don't know of anyone because like it came out when we were like 14 or I don't know, however old we were. And it was like, okay, yeah, kind of cool. But I didn't know anybody who was like, dude, I am crazy about Planet of the Apes. That was one of the coolest movies I've ever seen.

And it feels like in the last five years, they've made three Planet of the Apes movies or something. There's a lot of them, I think. I think I recently saw a trailer for one, so I looked them up. There's so many of them. There was one in 1968.

Maybe that was the original one. I think so. I've heard that one's actually really good, so I should watch that one. Yeah, you should definitely check that out. Definitely watch that for us. The one in 2001, the budget was... Is this right?

This says the budget was $100 million in 2001. Give me some context there. I don't know. That's a ton of money. That's a lot of money. Yeah. Okay. Like Marvel movies are like 200 million.

Okay. Now. Yeah, now. Sums up with my internet. When I click on a hyperlink, it does not take me to the website. Maybe it's just an underlying thing. They're like really wanting you to just know. I thought you were doing an underlying thing.

Oh, no. An underlying issue. Yeah, I'm trying to look into more data about this. Yeah, I asked Catherine because I was like, I don't know, maybe Catherine was into that growing up. She was homeschooled. Maybe that's a thing. It's like going to the zoo.

You know, they had to learn about Darwinism somehow. And so it's like, yeah, I was like, yeah, look at all these Planet of the Apes movies. Wow, there's a lot. The cheapest movie, Battle for the Planet of the Apes, still made 8.8 million worldwide on its meager budget of

1 million. It really downsized. Oh, that was a 1973 one. Oh, was it? Okay. I just chose the middle of a paragraph. That's what you get when the hyperlinks don't work. Yeah, that was a 1973 one. Oh, was it? Okay, I just chose the middle of a paragraph. That's what you get when the hyperlinks don't work. Yeah, you're just grasping. Anyway. Rise of the Planet of the Apes made $481 million on a budget of $93 million.

Dang, so they're cashing in. Maybe it's overseas or something. They love them. I think it's actual apes watching. Think about how many apes are out there. If you can market to the apes, you can market to the world. Yeah, that's true. Walt Disney said that. He was a

racist. That's wild, though. Yeah, we should unfreeze his head. I don't understand it, man. I ask... Dawn of the Planet of the Apes made $710 million on a budget of $170 million. These are massive movies.

Why aren't people... Maybe I should be watching them. But who? Who? Who? I'm serious. That's so much money. That's so many people.

They've grossed $2 billion as a franchise. Jeez. So they're doing it right. Just who's watching? Obviously, I understand. Yeah, if they're keeping on making them, something's going right.

But I'm just like, I don't know of anybody who's like, I don't see anybody wearing Planet of the Apes shirts. You've never heard someone's favorite movie is Planet of the Apes? I don't see anybody Instagramming like, Planet of the Apes! Had to, had to. Trying to see if they have any big actors. So good!

Planet of the Apes! I'm a full-on apist. It was awesome. Not like that many crazy big actors like the guy who played Gollum oh that's the thing it's like all like

motion capture stuff so it's like yeah yeah yeah oh that makes sense still you'd think they'd get somebody better than what I'm looking at now

James Franco I guess yeah anyway interesting I recognize two in the top row who two

I recognize one John Lithgow and James Franco I recognize just Andy John Lithgow and James Franco. I recognize just Andy Serkis and James Franco. Oh, John Lithgow. I see him. I don't know Andy Serkis. Oh, look at the names of their characters.

Terry plays the role of Bright Eyes. Fun ape name. Caesar. First day of my life. Maybe they're good movies. Maybe. But just who's watching? But tell me if they are.

Somebody tell me. Word of mouth. I'm not trying to act like I know every single type of person in the world, but I think I have enough of a diverse set of friends, diverse people I follow online to where if somebody's watching it, I know. And I've never seen anybody

from any walk of life getting excited about Planet of the apes and yet you don't see it same with uh like they have a converse godzilla coming out yeah who are these monkey movies who's so excited about the new king kong that they're like i gotta see the one with godzilla and i don't know those are also just huge budget yeah but like it's just these like these they feel soulless yeah that's my take it's like cheap pop music or something yeah but like it's just these like these they feel soulless yeah that's my take it's like cheap pop music or something yeah but like not cheap though yeah you're right it's more of like like selena gomez pop music just like it's like nothing nothing deep nothing emotional just like

big just a very uh like predictable plot line like there's a hero. He has like a quest. Something gets in the way of the quest. He has a sidekick. He has a nemesis. The good guy wins. Oh. Man, the Kong movies are doing just fine as well. I believe it. King Kong 2005

made half a billion. One movie. Kong, colon, Skull Island made slightly more in 2017. Godzilla vs. Kong, slightly less. Only 468 million. Oh, only 468 million? And that was released

in pretty close to COVID, 2021. Early 2021. What's the one that's today? I thought that was Godzilla vs. Kong. Well, it's Godzilla vs. Kong colon the new empire. Okay, thank you. I think. It says colon the new imp and then it runs out of space. I don't know. The new emperor's group. Could be. I don't know don't know. The new emperor's group. Could be.

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what it says. The new emperor's group. I feel like I saw a trailer and it's like now they're teaming up, which like takes away the whole. Transformers, Kong, Marvel, Iron Man. Transformers are another one. Fast and Furious.

Maybe you guys have seen Transformers. I haven't. First one was dope. Oh, Brad's hot in high school. I loved it. I liked it. Stop. Everyone did, okay?

Megan Fox was good looking in that but yeah the first one i don't see uh right uh you've never you've never seen it i don't see under the hood uh i'm circumcised yeah gomko um oh my gosh would you get 11 11m. episodes? Say some other stuff you wouldn't say at 9 a.m. Good for Kong, man. Yeah, anyway. Okay. Well, you next.

Okay. I was going to say Main Street Roasters is my favorite way. Speaking of revenue, I like to use my revenue on Main Street Roasters. Yeah. How much are they gross in box office? None because it's not gross. Yeah. I don't like using that word,

but I'm talking about something that tastes so good. You know what I love, or what they grossed with me? A bean-ion. A bean-ion. I'll say it again. That's right. A bean-ion dollars.

If we're going to be slap happy, which I think I am, can we just look at – I know I'm 33 years old with four kids, but I saw this thread on Twitter the other day that seems like it would be something that would be pretty fun to listen to and watch. So can you pull it up for me, Tymon?

Yep. Will Compton, if you don't know, he's a former NFL player. He just posted this thread. He just said, drop your best farts and he said i'll start and so let's let's just could you give me bluetooth by chance give you bluetooth well time and news flash bud doesn't work that way um can't just hand you okay yeah i turned my okay so i don't i i, I think, one of these, but it's just like a thread of guys posting videos of them farting.

Dude, I was talking about this. And farting is just never not going to be fun. I'm not normally a big potty humor, fart joke guy, but I saw a prank video recently where this guy just had a fart machine on his person and the realism of the farts and the way that he would deliver it. So it was just a prank video.

All he's doing is just farting on just nearby strangers. And like he would deliver some sort of funny line before or after. Who wants roast beef and let one rip something. It was so funny. So maybe I'll like this. I think it's like, yeah, go ahead. Let's see. I haven't watched this.

I have no. Crap. I got a fart. Ryan. I'm going to run back to. Luck is for the unprepared. What an absolutely incredible time. Whoa.

All right. Let's see some of the other like user submitted ones. That was wild. Let's watch this, guys. Three seconds long. Oh my gosh. He's just in an elevator or something. Start down from the top.

His face. Yeah. You know, if the guy's got a beard, you know it's going to be good. That was crazy oh wow oh oh it lasted so long. He really, like, worked it up. He went down 20 stairs. You sound so fat.

This guy's just like a... These are wild. Oh. Oh, he peed. Okay. Okay. Okay. I've never heard anything like that. Oh, that one said, please listen to the fart.

I've been holding in for 30 minutes at Marina's parents. Oh, my gosh. That was 10 seconds? Wow. Can you play that one more? Just like halfway through or something? Yeah. Oh, my goodness.

It sounds like auto-tuned. It's so... I mean, that right there was seven seconds. Wow. And we got it halfway through. These are really good. Are there any more good ones? It was like... That was fine.

That sounded like a dog whimpering for a little bit. Oh, my gosh. It was like, that was fine. That sounded like a dog whimpering for a little bit. Oh my gosh. It was like a question. Play that one again. One more, yeah. Yeah, that was good. There's a lot going on. Oh, that one's faceless, dude.

That guy couldn't even put his face down. I also love the camera angles of all these. They're just kind of like, they're like, I know this is good, so I'm just going to get it close down there. Let's see what we got. I just love... All right.

Let's see what we got. Yeah, you wanted farts, we'll see. didn't love the eye contact oh ring doorbell it should be good yeah just a simple one oh man I don't know if I've ever had anything like this happen to my body Yeah Yeah, how does Oh Let's do a drum roll And the winner is Oh my goodness dude

Wow That's good That's quite the thread. Yeah. All right. Wow. Because you know it's coming, but at the same time, you don't know how, how long, what it's going to...

I mean, I was tickled. That was too fun. Wow. Wow. Well, Tymon, thanks for letting your parents come over this late at night and just kind of watch Grumman fart. That was nice of them to let you do that. Yeah, really. Thanks, Mom.

Right. Oh, man. I don't know what to say next. That was really funny. There were some doozies. I purposely watched, I think, the first two responses and then I was like, these are going to be good. I'm not watching it. I just know enough. All my friends are going to love that.

I don't know if everyone's going to love it. I know my, I can hear my dad dying, laughing to that. Like, oh man, my dad, like it's one of his favorite memories of me as a kid was like, we had a football, like birthday party where my friends and I played football and then we had pizza and like all my friends for like 20 minutes, 30 minutes, just told each other fart stories. We're like fourth grade, just saying all these different things. And your dad loved it.

Oh, my dad was just like, this is the funniest, greatest thing. Because one guy would say something like, oh, no, it was like that. I remember that. Like whatever, all these different back and forth. And one of my buddies, Charlie. Charlie Lidum. Shout out, Charlie. I mean, one of the funniest storytellers you've ever heard in your life.

So even at fourth grade, it was hilarious. Even fourth grade. Anyway. That's fun. How was your Easter? Oh, it was great. Church was really, really awesome. I got to go with some people who just moved to Kansas City, got to take them to church.

Rachel was in Iowa for Easter. And so that was awesome. And there was a whole crew of us who didn't have family in town for Easter. So we all went to the Pollard's, Harrison and Abby's house together. And Harrison made us a pizza. Nice. Oh, in the oven? Yeah, in the uni. Yeah. And that was really great. And just hung out in the backyard. And that was fun. And then me and some friends went out and played pickleball. And that's where I saw Ola. And people were digging the Friday. But I was wheeling a deal i was like doing my own like paddle demo basically because i always bring a ton in my bag and people

like what is this pal i'm just dishing man take paddles don't really think so that's awesome um it's fun saw a friday challenger paddle in the wild this is like the new pro paddles just came out with we only sold 600 of them at first like let's do a pre-release see what people think only sold it to previous customers and a guy had it at the next accords i was. I was like, dude, I really like your paddle. He's like, oh, thanks, man. I really like it too. I was like, cool. That's what I play with. Yeah, yeah. I didn't tell him anything else. I was like, that's cool. Yeah, I love the paddles. Yeah, he's like a super fan if he's one of the first

600 people. Yeah, yeah. Of the brand. Maybe not of you, you know what I'm saying? But yeah, it's clearly a previous customer and loves the paddles. So yeah, that was really fun. Did you have a good Easter? Yeah. Yeah, it was fine. No, I was going to say, I'm so pumped for the first time I see a Friday paddle. In the wild?

Yeah. I'm going to be like the proud grandpa. That's my grandson's company. I know the guy. Yeah. I think I've like pickleballed twice in the past like super long time. But every time I was like, what? Where are they?

I just expect like everyone everyone's using them right like the frequency you see them like online or like why they seem like they should be everywhere biggest brandon pickleball yeah yeah i saw that there was a uh older dude on one of the target like uh he was filming an ad for you guys oh charlie yeah tell me about charlie dude uh he's just a very satisfied customer okay send us that video i think unprovoked okay i think he just made us a video maybe made something like that then we asked him but yeah we're like hey can we use this in ads he's like oh yeah of course that's awesome yeah charlie's ads crushing it and um yeah it's it's so fun that's it's a real good gig we're very fortunate yeah seriously my uh my aunt lives in tampa and is a is getting really into pickleball and she's got a friday pickleball pad does she real good gig. We're very fortunate. Yeah, seriously. My aunt lives in Tampa and

is getting really into pickleball and she's got a Friday pickleball paddle. Does she? Yeah. Oh, she loves it. We were crushed in Tampa. Yeah? Probably because of her. I mean, Tampa seems like the right place for pickleball in general. Bradenton? Oh, yeah. Okay. Is that Tampa as well? Yeah, it's like I said, brother. Okay.

She's in Valrico, I believe. Oh. So if you see, you know, whoa, Valrico sales. Whoa, Valrico, what's going on? Susie Ellis She's in Val Rico, I believe. Oh, so if you see, you know, whoa, Val Rico, what's going on? Susie Ellis did her job. Oh, Suze.

Um, no, my, my Easter was great. Um, yeah, it was a fun weekend in all like Rosie's birthday was Friday. So we went to good Friday service,

um, which was so good. Uh, it was, they didn't have childcare for Hattie's age. So she went with me to service, which was really sweet. Because that's one thing that's kind of like rare with us is we don't sit in church with her or with our kids very often.

Because they just go straight to their children's ministry. What'd she do during the sermon? She sat there and she followed along in her Bible, actually. Oh, really? Like so fun. Like she doesn't, she can't read yet, really. Yeah. But she knows all the books of the Bible. Probably knows the numbers.

They say verse 16. Exactly. So, so like, you know, he's like, okay, you know, it's in Luke, whatever. And she'll open right to Luke and find it. And I mean, yeah, she's not able to really read, but she said she was like, I mean, I'm not trying to like paint it too beautifully. Like she was like, yeah, it was kind of boring. Like, yeah, I'm not trying to act like it was like this magical moment.

She led another girl to Christ, another seven year old. Yeah, there was, we actually sat next to another, like a couple of friend of ours, Hattie was, or Catherine wasn't with me. So it was just me and Hattie. Uh, and this boy, I think he's five, maybe going on six, but, um, was sitting next to Hattie and they were getting a little rambunctious before the service started. And I was like, I'm about to have to move you guys. They did perfect. They were literally like very, very polite, very good standing ups and down everything. So, um, but it was just a sweet moment with Hattie and just with the kids in general, you know, I don't know, obviously I would have loved Catherine to be there. Um, but it was just a fun time with them. And, um, yeah. So then, sorry, what were you gonna say?

That's how great I imagine it would be to have Hattie follow along in her Bible, but even just to not be a distraction to you or others around you, just to be able to take her in church is a blessing. Yeah, so confidently. Whereas we were checking in Rosie and Bo for the children's ministry, and at first, Sam, our friend who's the children's pastor, was like, just Rosie? And I was like, oh no, Bo's going to. We're giving you a bobcat. Yeah. He would be a little more restless and wouldn't feel self-conscious to be upset at me if I say something wrong. He would get mad or whatever. So he's not quite there yet, but Hattie is awesome. So that was sweet. Then Saturday, uh, usually we meet like it's tradition with my extended family, every Easter Sunday lunch, uh, after church,

uh, at my aunt Cindy's house for Easter egg hunt and everything we did on Saturday. It's time. There's 45 people there. It was a wild, great time. I don't have that many people is in my family generations. And to be fair, there were a few like people there that were randos. Yeah. A couple people are asking, are you hungry? Do you need a meal? Family of family. Like it was like my brother-in-law's sister and his cool and her family, like, or yeah, my aunt Charlotte, who's not really my aunt, but then her niece and whatever. Doesn't matter. Um, great time. So much fun. Um, Easterter egg hunt was so fun i don't know if it was like i don't know rosie's like i said just at this really fun age bow's at a fun age where he's

like getting a little bit better at finding the eggs like i don't have to help him you know with rosie i'm like literally like rosie look look right there in the grass yeah and she gets excited to find them whereas bow's like finding the ones in the trees and like find the ones in the tail pipes of the cars and all this stuff my dad always takes such pride in like hiding them in hard places and everything. Yeah. He's finding them, but he's also like putting his mouth on it too. It's like, all right, one step at a time. Get out of there. Oh, but yeah, he was so pumped. He got all like, he took all his candy out and put them in a baggie, put all his eggs back together. And for whatever reason, this is a quirk that bo's been doing recently is he eats his

candy but he wants to keep all the wrappers like a movie ticket yeah it's like it's like he it's like like it's a shiny reese's like foil wrapper he's a memento he's like dad don't throw that away i want to keep that in my bag like okay man whatever um anyway don't throw away the trash whoa what are you doing? Yeah. Also Easter egg hunts in general. What are, I get, I get really frustrated when it's just like a huge field with Easter eggs. That's just, that's not, who's, is that fun for the kid even when it's just like, go find an egg on the ground. That's not a hunt.

That's just a picking up trash. You're saying like, take a little pride in how you hide these things. I think it should be like a little bit of an obstacle course or something. Like there was one that was like on this garden bed that Rosie had to like

climb up some stone steps and like a landscaping thing. Yeah, that's way more fun. That's way more fun than just like a church that just has an open field that just scattered Easter eggs everywhere.

Yeah, it's like, give them a challenge, but also give them the tools to accomplish the challenge. Okay, yeah. You know, give them the, the egg is up high. Yeah. You give them all the parts they would need to create a ladder.

And instead of still like figure it out. Yeah, your dad's a carpenter, Hattie. Figure it out. It's like the campaign mode of Easter egg hunting. I think it'd be way more fun. Like, it just bothers me when churches are like, yeah, they show footage of their Easter egg hunt. I'm like. It's all out there.

That's just a field with a bunch of kids picking them up. Yeah. It's like the gold rush. Yeah. I want escape room. You're just testing out how fast kids are. Yeah. Um, so anyway, and then Sunday was awesome. Sunday was really sweet. Uh, took him to, took the kids to church and Bo got this, uh, like he, he went to Sunday school and he got this megaphone and he was supposed to yell, Jesus is alive out of the megaphone. And he kept calling the microphone, which is fine. That's fine. But right after service, Catherine's like, hey, I'm really tired. And I was really tired too.

She's like, could you just pick me up some coffee real quick? And so we're in line at Starbucks and like we get up there and like they were quiet. The kids were quiet all throughout, like taking the order and everything. Get up to the pay window and I'm paying them. And all of a sudden, Hattie and Bo, like it was like they coordinated or something. Jesus is alive! When you're paying. Jesus is alive!

And I didn't discourage at all. I was like, yeah! Tell her. Let's go! Yeah, this is Starbucks. Tell her. This is at Main Street Roasters. Main Street Roasters would already know.

They have rainbow colored hair, but not like that kind of rainbow color. Jesus is, you know, we're just so pumped about it. So also on the way to church, I played Sunday is Coming with Phil Wickham's song and blasted it, but it didn't sound that loud. And Bo kept being like, Dad, turn it down. Please turn it down.

And I realized later that I had put all the sound back in the back from a previous time where I had let them listen to a story or something. So I think I was like – It was blasting. Yeah, deafening them. Even Hattie was like, I like this song, but can we play it a little bit quieter, please? My ears are boiling.

Anyway, Jesus is alive. Came home. Catherine made a nice ham dinner for us. It was beautiful, wonderful. Ham chops. Just a great time. Just thankful, as always, for Easter. Sounds like a great weekend.

It was good. Anyway. I got pulled over thankful as always for for easter so sounds like a great weekend yeah it was it was good so anyway yeah i got pulled over uh this week i've been pulled over in a long time and i was abiding the law so i was like what is this guy pulling me over for and cop comes out real quickly hey uh pulled you do i pulled you over and i was like i i don't i was just abiding the law. And he said, your tags are expired. I was like, dang it.

That always seems to happen to me. I'm not surprised. I didn't know that. I've been pulled over for it, but I didn't know that. And he said, I'm surprised you haven't been pulled over for it. I said, why? He said, they expired in 2021. Oh.

I was like, really? So I've been pulled over in years? That's crazy. I i didn't know that nothing has ever been mailed to me that yeah i've just refused to put on my car right granted i've moved i think i've moved since 2017 i think i've lived in nine houses maybe eight houses in seven years so that's tough to keep up with. Where is the mail going and where, you know, it's a $2 fraud of, of mail. Yeah.

It's like hard to keep up. Yeah. So it's been more than one household per year. How many since 2021 you think? Was that where, you know, late at that point? I don't know.

Not quite. So it would have been Merriam house and Olathe than here. So yeah, still kind of one per year. Oh yeah. You could have easily lost that. Or like I I've had them expire and be like, I swear I am not trying,

like if I would have seen something that said, please renew these or whatever. Yeah, you don't purposely not do that. I remember putting a sticker on Rachel's car. Like I'm capable of putting stickers on things. Sure. I can do that. When I registered my truck, they were like,

okay, you can either have it go through may of 2024, or you could just pay to have it go through 2025. And I was like, may of 2025 sounds incredible. I do it longer. Yeah. I guarantee you'll still have expired tags in June of 2025, but like, yeah, I feel good for a while. It really shocked me when he said 2021, I was like, dude, I prophesied it. That's bad. bad i'm sorry do you know what month um no okay but he gave me a little citation and i paid that and he told me a way where i could get i was like what's the quickest way for me to get this and has not worked yet it's kind of a bummer like this is why it's not fun to do it's not easy you try to do it online yeah he told me to go to i can or whatever yeah. Yeah. Ain't working. At least for me, when it was

expired, I had to go in and do it myself. That's what the officer told me. That's too bad. 2021 is wild. Yeah, that really shocked me. I guess it sounds right. It does feel like it's been a while. You're going to have to get one of those new license plates with the four digits and the three letters, and it's just going to

irk me. You notice those at all? Yeah, you're switching them up. I can't believe it. Every time I see Tymon's car, I'm like, just take that thing to the dump. Should we do our wins and comment of the week? Yeah, let's do it.

Yeah, you want to go ahead? I've got two wins of the week. One is that I think last week's win of the week was that rachel has uh her first interview for a job it went really well so the second one of the week is she has her second interview tomorrow actually let's go so excited about that she's gonna crush it should be no problem and i had kind of an interview of my own i don't think it would be wise to necessarily talk all about it right now, but had a very good day today. Had a very fun meeting. Very good things. Fun things to announce in the near future. So yeah, feeling excited. It's been a long day, but a great day. Good things happening.

That has been a long day. Yeah, we met for like three hours this morning. That feels like forever ago. Had a lot to talk about. That is wild. Brad and I are doing a church gig soon. Yeah, man. That'll be, what, the next podcast we record will be? No. Wait, yeah, this Friday.

If you're listening to this, this Friday. Right now, we're performing together. Holy cow. Yeah. Come on out to DoubleTree. Yeah. If you can register this late. Yeah.

Performing at a marriage conference. Yeah, it'll be fun. My win of the week is kind of a random. No, not random. It's not random. It's a hat. I don't know how to describe it. My one of the week is what's the right way of saying it's a sad thing, but it's a win at the same time that that's not me. Probably. Okay. Hey, I don't know. Yeah, it's your win. It's, it's a, I can't think of the right words. Uh, my grandma passed away this past week, um, Wednesday. Um, and it was hard and it's still going to be hard. I think it, even though it was like, um, she was 93, 93, 93 years old. Yeah. Lived a great life. Wonderful life is my dad's mom. Uh, my only living grandparent. And, uh,

you know, the win is that she was an awesome grandma and it was, uh, yeah, just, she had a wonderful life and she, I, the win is also that I had a grandma for 33 years of my life because my grandpa's died when I was like a year old and three years old. And then my other grandma died when I think I was 12 or 13. And so this grandma I had for 20 more years and she was amazing. I look back on like some of, I don't know. I was just thinking about her and like, what did I love most about her? What, what was so wonderful about her? And like, um, I think that the thing that she gave me the most of, which is what I feel

like I've given to this podcast is she just blessed me with like, she was funny and fun and like positive. Like she was one of the most positive people I've ever met in my life. Like, and also very excitable. Like I could tell her anything and she would just be like, that is so great, Brad. You know, I think you do have those traits. Yeah. I had, I had this episode. We, we watched a bunch of guys farting and you know, it was hilarious. Who else is doing that? Oh my gosh. That sounds hilarious. You know, like, uh, she's just always been so supportive of everything, you know, and she was just a wonderful, wonderful woman. And the biggest win is that she's a Christian.

And so it is sad that she's gone. Um, I, yeah, her funeral is actually tomorrow and it's sad, but it's also like, why are we sad? She isn't like, I think we, you said this earlier, like she's literally in a better place, truly in a better place. She was old. She was, you know, struggling physically on this earth and she is in a wonderful place now. And so, um, yeah, it's just one of those things where just be thankful for your grandparents. I'm thankful for my grandma and I'm going to miss her a lot, but my win of the week is that I got an amazing experience with my grandma for 33 years. And even Hattie, we were talking about memories, and she has memories with her great-grandmother.

Yeah, that's cool. Oh, I remember this. And we went and saw Christmas lights, and then we went to McDonald's, and Gramsci was there, and it was amazing. We had ice cream, and we dipped our fries in the ice cream. That's great. Legitimate, yeah, core memories. Yeah, so anyway. Yeah, so that's my win of the week in a really, yeah, I don't know, that's great. Legitimate. Yeah. Core memories. Yeah. So anyway. Um, yeah.

So that's my win of the week in a really, yeah, I don't know. Roundabout way. That's, that's the word I was trying to find. You knew it was part of traffic. Dude. Yeah. There's been so many times where I've had a hard time with recall of words recently, but yeah. Anyway, timing, you got to win. I feel like I just have a lot of highlights. I just had a good... Probably one that sticks out. A new mile record. Again? Again. Six minutes and 20 seconds. Tyvin, he's moving on.

He's moving. And the disclaimer with this one is I don't know if I'll ever beat it. Because it took a lot out of me. I bet, dude. It was like... And it's funny. It was... Wow, it seems like so long ago.

It was yesterday morning it's like basically we had to get ready for church and stuff i was like pre-easter service and he was busted out of 620 baby yeah um it was like stone has been rolled away right tomb is empty and i'm gonna move faster than that stone let's go it was like i barely had time like before we had to leave and i was like, we're going straight home from church. Quick change. Go to my grandparents for the rest of the day. So I was like, I don't want to do this at 1130 when we get home.

Yeah. So I was like, I guess I should do it as fast as I can. So that's what I did. It's out of necessity. And we just drenched in sweat. I mean, it was warm yesterday. Honestly, not really. Something's up.

Something's up with this guy. I feel like I'm not a super easy sweater. Oh, good for you. It hurt so bad. It was like, it made me think, I think the fastest I could go is maybe 10 seconds faster because there's some

really intense hills near my house that I'm running through. 620 with hills? Dude, oh my gosh and you're not sweating he's in the prime of life sums up but good for you man so that was one thing okay wait let me ask you some questions about that go for it as a musician as a fellow runner you know uh what are you listening to like you gotta be i mean you have to have something to get you going for six minutes this was so welcome welcome. Full blast on the back. One of the only runs that I've done of the past ever that I was had nothing in my

you dog sums up with this. Yeah. It was just, he was listening to his mental, my own breath. Yeah. His fortitude footsteps, dude.

But typically it's old ghost runners episodes. That's like a really. Yeah. And you're running PRS with old ghost runners episodes. Yeah. You, you drift away. You get distracted.

A podcast is much more distracting than music. Yeah. I understand that. Yeah. Except for if you're trying to push yourself. That's different to me. I don't know. I'm trying to think for the last PR.

I'm trying to do a five-mile run. I could get into a longer thing. But if I'm like a four, five-minute, six-minute thing. I mean, you basically said you were sprinting. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's an awkward silence said you tried to, you were sprinting. Like, yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's an awkward silence in a podcast and you're just like, so anyway, what else do you want to talk about, Jake?

It's I don't know. I don't, I don't get that. The only part of running and listening to podcasts, which is a bad thing, but not if you listen to ghost runners is when other people go to do their ads. You're like, why don't want I listen to ads while I'm running? That is the worst. Luckily, I think ours are pretty natural and pretty ingrained. You can still get entertainment value out of them.

You've got to plan ahead. Are they near an ad? I don't want to get caught while I'm running. Half the run, as I'm talking about prize picks. I don't know if I'm ever going to shoot for a new one anytime soon. Sometimes I want wanna have a track

a track you will go faster than what you did yesterday awesome congrats one or two other things one thing I like probably like song slash artist of the week is Gravity by John Mayer

that whole album. I had never really... Yeah, because on some old episode, you said you listened to Continuum. Yeah. And I was like, I never really actually checked out John Mayer, and I love it.

I love that album. I mean, talk about soulful jazz. Yeah. I mean, yeah, that whole... His guitar tone is second to none. It doesn't have to be complicated. It's just so pure music it's great it just feels out every little oh yeah um you should look up i watched a video of like him writing

stop this train i think one of the one of the songs of the album it was like one full day of him writing and recording one of this and it was just so fun to watch like his process for it yeah you should listen i don't know if i said this on the podcast episode of that or whatever, but you should also listen to his live where the light is album. It's like the Nokia, but he goes, he does three different versions of John Mayer. He does acoustic, which is him and his guitar, which is unbelievable. Cause you're listening to it and you're like, Oh snap. He's actually the one playing while he's singing, which is, he plays incredible thing. And then he does his band next, whatever. I don't know.

Full band. And then he does the trio, which is just three people. Obviously it's also crazy. Cause he's like, Oh, he's playing electric guitar and doing these riffs. Anyway, I get, yeah, I get really excited about that album. Yeah. That was one. And then I guess one last thing is we we're we're singing some bangers in choir

yeah baby we're yeah like the next our next concert is like a pops concert so like actually like more well-known songs instead of like these random obscure like should we try to guess them technical so could we guess something you think are they i don't know if you give us like a little like a little hint don't stop the feeling justin timberberlake. Try, now that I think about it, pretty much all of these are musical theater related. Oh. It's like more well-known in that area. Bangers to your people.

Seasons of Love, Rent? No. That's a little too non-Christian. Yeah, think like very, very intense standards and then like a little more of that. That's Greenleaf. So like songs in that realm. No, I don't's there but they're like uh they're they're musical songs yeah musical three of these are honestly like i don't know if i expect you to know all of these

probably maybe two sounds like sounds like i might go zero yeah whole new world uh like anything like is he disney yes okay I think one of these is Disney. Oh, give us a little more hints. Okay. Okay. We've sung it together. Oh,

Hakuna Matata. No. That's a big open. Very recently. Newsies. Yeah. Really? Yeah.

He's a day. He's a day. Oh, that's going to be fun. Can I, can I come like sing with you guys? Practice open the gates. Yeah,

that's fun yeah and then we're doing a whole i'll just you will yeah we're doing a whole like medley of like a ton of laymiz songs oh which that's in there laymesly that's what they call it laymesly benion yeah and then um have you seen the movie Harriet? No. Tubman? Yes. Yeah.

There's a song called Stand Up from that. It's really good. And then, Corner of the Sky from Pippin. Dang, can't wait to get those.

Those are bangers. Dang. You could have given us a million tries to even think of the musical. I guessed Justin Timberlake. Yeah. Once I thought more about it, I was like, okay, actually,

these may be really good songs, but not necessarily super well-known. You guys should come to the concert. Can't remember when it is, but I'll tell you. Let us know. I'll be there. I would love to go and bring Hattie, too. She would love it. That's fun. I'd love to go and bring Rachel. I think she would love it. I think Hattie would love it even more if Rachel were there.

Broke. Cool fun. I'll let you know. Love it, dude. Thank you. That's my highlights. Fun. Some wins, baby. Next, we've got

a comment of the week. Tymon, can you give me some old war music for mine? Maybe while you're pulling that up, Brad, do you want to share your comment of the week? Yeah. Mine is a YouTube comment

from last Monday's episode, two Mondays ago. Abby Scheib 8662 says, Brad and Jake putting Tymon on the spot for a made-up jingle is pretty much how Jingle started with Jake asking Brad for a jingle. We've come full circle, and I love it. It's a fun thought. Thanks for recognizing that, Abby.

Because, yeah, like I think I said last week or whenever that was, I was like, yeah, dude, you're the one that made me sing. You started singing singing and then I would like sing because I've always been so jealous of the people who can't like if you could sing you need to I will pimp you out you must do it in front of me let me watch let me watch let me listen yeah let me hominize

I can't do what you can do all right time let's see what an old war music sounds like but oh you don't know this song this is not the right kind of work. Look up like Civil War era music or something. Civil War. I do like that

though. We were talking about that today. Today, this morning, John Fogerty. Like how I think CCR might be like low-key one of the best bands of all time that no one talks about. I think it's like one of our favorite bands, and we just don't recognize it.

Perfect. This is a comment in the face. This is a post in the Facebook group from Case and Crow. My dearest Roberta, as I sit by the flickering candlelight, my heart overflows with a longing to share with you the joy that fills my soul. In the midst of my travels, I stumbled upon a treasure unlike any other, the Ghost Runners Talking Show. It truly captivates the essence of old school storytelling. Weaving together humor, insight, and genuine camaraderie.

With each new installment, I am transported back to our cozy abode, enveloped in the warmth of your presence. The mixture of Jacob's travels as a jokester and Bradley's never-ending supply of children, the myriad of topics seems boundless. There doesn't seem to be enough paper for me to start discussing the young whippersnapper

that facilitates their adventures for the world to hear. I chuckle now to even think. I truly hope you partake and write me with haste. My love, though miles may separate us, the joy of the Ghost Runners talking show serves as a beacon, guiding me home to you. Forever yours, Clarence. Thank you, Cason. Someday, time is going to be comfortable enough to actually make it louder and pull a prank on you. Like, turn up, turn up.

Oh, man. I wonder if sad, dramatic music would have worked better, but hey. No, that was perfect. It just was... Once the singing started, it was... But even with the singing, like... I thought that was perfect it just was once the singing started it was but even with the singing like i thought that was seized today i know that's how that goes that was great have you ever seen um the jimmy fallon snl skit um like when he hosted snl with the civil war thing um i know it's that's too big uh but it's like they're like they're like

singing these like civil war songs. They're like, we need a really good like hook at the end. Remember that? I don't think it's like him and Harry Styles, I think. And party at my parents. Oh yes,

yes, yes. I've seen that. Yeah. Oh, maybe you should put that in the end of something today. Maybe at the end of the audio version or something. I mean,

it's just so funny. Yeah. That's, that's what that song kind of reminded end of the audio version or something. I mean, it's just so funny. Yeah. That's what that song kind of reminded me of there. That is good. Thanks, Kacen, for the awesome comment. That's fun. And also, shout out Megan Carlson. Forgot to mention her in last week's episode,

but got to see her and basically her whole family. Laura Farms, a lot of the kiddos, some random girl named Carson. They were all there. Uh, whoever her youngest, I forget her youngest son's name. Doesn't look so young anymore. Saw a picture of him. Okay.

I mean, do you remember meeting him like at the basketball game? No, but good for you for remembering that. The weekend before the basketball game, her kids came with her. We met at Oklahoma Joe's. Remember that? Oh yeah. Joe's Casey. And I mean, this kid was a kid,

and now he looks as tall as everybody. Yeah. I mean. Ain't no kid. Those kids are sprouting up these days. They live on farmlands. When's it going to happen? That's right.

Yeah, they were great. Tommy, do you have a comment of the week? No. Come on, mama. Just say no. The word's no. I don't think I do. Thank you. No. All right. Dinner is not at your on, mama. Just say no. The word's no. I don't think I do. Thank you.

I love recording with you guys. Thanks for doing it every week. We'll always find a way. We will find a way. So, yeah. Appreciate you guys listening. Oh, shout out. Just a quick row back at the end

yes grkc20 row back's been real good to us lately be good to them really really nice clothes it feels like the right season like not that there's not there's a wrong season for row back but their polos just look real nice this time of season yeah it's just a fun season to wear a nice lightweight Robeck T or a polo permission to be honest. Robeck sent me some shorts a while back. Didn't love them because the waistband was so tight. I was like, if these are mediums, I, I don't know how anyone's wearing any of this. And so the next time they sent me shorts, I would just like give them away. Cause I thought I didn't like them. Yeah. Well, it turns out, I'm glad I opened the box. They've changed their shorts. Well, they have multiples. Their shorts are nice

now. I got this mint pair. They're really just awesome. They're comfy. They're thin. Okay, so those, they have gym shorts, and then they have everyday shorts or something like that. Okay. The gym shorts are awesome. Yeah, those sound like the gym ones. Yeah, they're great. Give me more of those. Okay. GRKC20.

I really am a raving fan of those. They got good stuff. They're great. Give me more of those. Okay. GR Casey 20. Yeah. I am a raving fan of those. Yeah. They got good stuff. Good to know. Yeah. The, uh, the pants are tight,

but like they're good tight. I like, I like the shorts that I have, but they're not like the most flowy shorts in the world. Like you're saying, yeah, they're kind of like, uh,

I almost said like joggers, but we talk about all day, but, but basically, uh, hope you have a good guys have a good week. Thanks for listening to our podcast. And what else we got coming up?

Ghostbusters Getaway, like one girl spot left. Kind of last minute for you to sign up now. But hey, we'll take your money. Holler at us. We might technically have a two-person room available as well. We'll see. Just holler at us if you want to come. We'll find a couch. We'll find a couch for you.

Huh? Hey. We'll find a couch. Mama will keep the stove hot for you. Yeah, we'll find a couch for you. Huh? Hey. We'll find a couch. Mama will keep the stove hot for you. Yeah, we'll find a couch for you. We love you guys. We'll see you next week. Yeah, it's fun that you drink energy.

You drink right now at 11 p.m. That's right, baby. All right, see you guys. Love you. I hope we're marching south tomorrow. Feels like this war is never gonna end. I swear, sometimes I forget what we're fighting for. We've been fighting this war so long,

I wonder if my family will even recognize us. Ah, I'm tired of hearing all this grumbling. How about a song, something to lift our spirits? A real foot stomper. How about Old New York? Ah, Old New York. Now that's a tune that'll put the fight back in you. What do you say, boys?

All right, yeah! It's a great song. ¶¶ -♪ Well, I'm from New York, I am -♪ Firm up north in Yankee land -♪ Then one day the Union Army came a-calling -♪ They said, son, grab up your gun -♪ There is glory to be won And soon those Dixie boys will be a-fallin'

One, two, three, it's the Union calls for me Never fear the Great Shah or the cannon's roar For liberty, I'll die happily And bury me back home in old New York. And we'll sing and laugh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Party till the sun come up Oh, oh, oh, oh

We'll stay young forever now Oh, oh, oh, oh Dance until the pills wear off Oh, oh, oh, oh It's a party at my Darren's house Oh. I don't know. I don't remember that part of Old New York. Oh, no, sorry. I added it.

I felt like it needed a fat, catchy hook that people could sing along with. It's good, right? Yeah, I mean, it's already stuck in my head. Mm-hmm. You know what would sound good? Uh, if y'all did a bridge after that part. Hey, grab that!

Shut up! Okay. Listen, Old New York is a soldier's song about courage and making your loved ones proud. So maybe best not to change. Of course. Just musically, it felt like it wanted that hook. Keep going.

Now I miss my family And I miss New York City But to run away from war is a disgrace If the rebels shoot me down Tell my family I was bound upon the ground With a smile on my face Come on! -♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh The girl I like Suddenly, it's so clear This is the best night of my life

Everybody sing it loud Oh, oh, oh, oh What the is going on here?! I'm very sorry, sir. I thought some singing might boost morale and cap. Oh, no, I'm sorry. I was pretending like I was the dad in the song. Oh, no, I'm sorry. I was pretending like I was the dad in the song,

like, coming home and seeing a party at my house and being like, what's going on here? Like, angry. That's great. That would be a fun break in the song. Yeah, yeah, maybe it's like a switcheroo and the dad's actually into it. Yeah, yeah, or we could just do the regular version of Old New York.

Oh, who am I kidding? That hook is fire. The whole track is absolutely lit. Let's take it from the dad coming in. Nobody parties at my house without me! Two, three, oh! Everybody north and south! Oh, oh, oh! Everybody gets invited! Oh, oh, oh!

We should party at my parents' house! Oh, man! That cannon sounded amazing! Hey, props to whoever shot that cannon! That was a fun punch at the end. That was not one of ours. Then who shot it? And when the smoke cleared, all that was left of the 3rd New York Infantry

was their bravery, their sacrifice, and our nation's first big, fat hook.
