Great prank for next time you're in a parking spot. Are you ready for this? Okay. If somebody is pulling in, specifically if they're backing in, this is what happened to me. I was backing into a spot, and I was making sure I wasn't going to obviously hit the person behind me in my spot. Backing in, backing in, it's starting to beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

And so I put on my brakes, and right as I put on my brakes, my car just doesn't stop moving. And I'm like shoving down my brake. And it's just like I have no put on my brakes. My car just doesn't stop moving. I'm like, and I'm like shoving down my brain. It's like, it just, and it's just like, it just, I have no control over my car. I'm just like slamming on my brake. Oh, I know what happened. Turns out I was stopped with the car to my left was slowly inching out. You're just smack dude. I mean the new truck. I know it was like, it was like, yeah, weeks after I got this truck and I was like, I took me like three minutes to calm down from this thing. It's a great prank, guys, if you want to do it.

If you have an idea like, oh, they're already beeping. Yep. Freak them out. They're being careful. They're watching, you know. Start creeping forward. Yeah. Dude, that'll get you.

That's gotten me before. I've never like multiple times slammed on my brakes to make sure. But I'll like internally get like hot really quickly. Yeah. A quick freak out. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe the same thing if you're like,

you're stopped at a stoplight and you just look over at somebody and you are in reverse and you slowly reverse back. Especially if you and I could get on both sides of a car. Yeah. And really freak out an old lady or something. That'd be fine. I can't imagine what I looked like. Like I was just like, I mean really freak out an old lady or something that'd be like I can't imagine what I looked like like I was just like I don't know and I like shut off the car really quickly. I was like turn it, no air conditioning. The brakes would go out. Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, wide turning radius. Yeah. You couldn't really turn it.

Times Square was above. Anyway, uh, for whatever reason, when the car got under 10 miles an hour, it had this problem where it would shut itself off. So for whatever reason, purely roundabouts were our, when it would happen for something about turning the wheel while going less than 10 miles an hour. So, I mean, probably in nine different States, the car shut off on us while going through a roundabout. Oh, wow. And you lose all control. The brakes don't work. Nothing. It's just like a power steering is on the car. Just shut off. You have to like, turn it off, get it back on

and regain control of your limo. So that's also a crazy prank. Get limo gets turned off on roundabout prank. I love the idea of you just like, Hey, we're going around a roundabout, but we're taking this bad boy quick. We have to go for 10 miles an hour. Here we go. It's like you're sailing. Everyone lean left because you're going to get tossed to the right. So anyway, that and a lot more pranks this episode.

Go to New York City prank. Yeah. See the Statue of Liberty from afar, plank. Plank. Dang it. Start the episode over. All right. Okay, great prank for you guys. Uh-oh.

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

Everybody morning, we're taking ground Ghost Rubs Podcast Ghost Rubs Podcast Welcome back guys, welcome back Jake Welcome back Tymon It's Wednesday It's Wednesday. It's Wednesday. Happy Wednesday, everybody.

I actually think we should start, since we're talking about limos already, not exactly that, but in the same vein, I sent a video to Tymon that's kind of fun. And I have something car-related as well. Perfect. Does the name Cletus McFarlane mean anything to you? No. It didn't mean anything to me either until I saw this video. Jordan Algy, a ghostie of ours, was like, Hey, I'm going to this bachelor party down in Florida with two other guys

for my awesome crazy time. But he's going to this Cletus McFarland thing. And then I see this thing pop up on my Instagram or my Instagram dude, this, he does this Cletus McFarland guy just does like all these fun races and stuff. Uh, and it's going to load eventually. Um, and we're going to watch it. So just, so, so background on the story. So, uh, this look at time away with the social blood, social blade plugin. Oh yeah. Um, basically this is a minivan race, but there's ramps on the track. Oh. And I think if you, and the rule that Jordan was telling me, the rule is you have to ramp at least once in the 10 laps. But apparently if you ramp, like it's a quicker route.

And so some people ramp more than they have to. Yeah. And how do you build your minivan? Do you have good suspension to be able to brace the ramp? Yeah. Yeah. Go for speed, you know. So let's, let's check out the minivans and the ramps.

All right. This is a fun master party oh yes i was hoping to be edm oh my gosh just fly it around oh they're not maybe turn it down so we don't get copyrighted real quick they don't take them slow no no they're racing. You know, some of them, I mean, that was cars on fire. It's just the headlights.

Oh my. Oh, they're just, they're just, yeah. I'm shocked by the amount of sparks when it hits the ramp and when it lands. Oh, it's looking at the sparks.

Yeah. It hits. So Jordan was saying there was one guy who took the rail every single time. He's a crowd favorite. I just, I can imagine if we did this with our friends, that would be gutter, right? Like gutter would just send it every time you've got to like look at that thing i'm kind

of obsessed with the physics of this you got to like put a lot of weight in the back of your minivan so it doesn't like so you don't hit the front of it or something i guess or put a ton of weight in the front cleatest measured distance what does any of this mean that's amazing i i think he's like kind of a big deal in the right like – Different communities. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just don't get that in my algorithm, but I kind of want to start. That's really cool.

I'm sorry I made a joke about your bachelor party. That looks amazing. Yeah, yeah. I think like these three guys were just huge fans of this, and so they all went, and there's like a whole event with all these fun things that they do man i mean look at that does that not look like such a blast i i don't i didn't expect him to take it that serious or to be going that fast that one was wild that one i mean that

one was three times as far as all the other ones that guy did slow down it looks like that would be like if rachel had to go over a ramp that's what she would do i would get i would get like my nose stuck because i take it so slow that it just like barely goes over. At least it's like a speed bump. Like boom, boom, boom. Yeah. You get caught in the middle of it.

Huh? That's a great clip. Anyway. So I'm, so in my head, when you were, when we were talking about the, uh, the limo going around the roundabout fast, I was kind of imagining something like this is the same thing, dude. Yeah. This is, uh, wow. like this is the same thing dude yeah this is uh wow that's awesome

Guys, look at it and tell me. Wait, yeah, the thing on the Dodge. That's a Dodge, man.

Wait, you're right. That's a Dodge, brother. That's impressive. I googled Chrysler Town and Country headlights, and it pulled up a Dodge Caravan. Wow, you're better than the internet. I can't believe you got that. Yeah, man, they're a little different.

You stumped me. The grill on it is a little different. I mean, that's Google's fault. That's Google's fault. If you Google the make and model of a car. Anytime you Google it, you get exactly the right thing. Well done. Thank you.

You really made up for the ones you missed by beating me. Mazda 6. Mazda 6. I knew that was going to be trickier. Why do you think they do that with branding? You should have a nice name for your thing. All of Mercedes are just G-Class, C-Class, X1, the Audi Q8 4. It's like no one-

That's how I feel with pickleball paddles sometimes. Yeah. Don't overcomplicate it. Sorry, Vulcan. Sorry, Dusty. A lot of numbers in there. Hey, Friday. Friday pickleball. Sorry, Vulcan. A lot of, sorry, Dusty. A lot of numbers in there. Hey, Friday. Friday pickleball.

I don't know what that, I had to look up what that was. Sorry. Alright, that's the car episode. We're done with cars. Are we? Timon? You said you wanted to talk about cars. Okay, you want a car thing? You do the car episode we're done with cars are we timing you said you wanted to talk about cars okay you had a car thing you do the car thing uh my car is is a town and country yeah it is it's a nice one so you knew those weren't your headlights i did well the thing is they're so similar but i was also like that's not right because it has the dodge thingy like the dodge right exactly real dodge thingy the headlights are very similar though how often are you packing out the town and country with the bros um you take the bros in the town

country no yeah it's not too often I feel like we don't do too much driving like with each other because you guys live so far away that once you get somewhere it's like let's just hang out yeah we are for sure uh Rachel was telling me we were talking about timing you know as we do Rachel came over and had dinner and we played games the other night when you were gone. And she was like, timing. I don't know what's going on. His family, every time he posts on Be Real, his family is just making music together. I haven't heard about this.

Tell us about this. Is this true? I don't know. Is she? Those are the words that came out of Rachel's mouth. Okay. Because, I mean we sing together a decent amount like

like hymns and stuff and worship songs like give me an example of how this comes about is it like before dinner after dinner or is it just like hey I just woke up from a nap okay you want to sing you know Psalm 100 in hymn form I think a lot of times like sometimes

we'll finish up dinner with singing Doxology or something like that. At the table? Yeah. It's like a quick a cappella thing. But then a lot of times it's like an evening thing

and I get out the guitar and then maybe like a cajon. We have two cajones. Wow, double cajones. Yeah. So who's leading that like is it like just kind of we're all just saying a lot of times it's like we'll we'll harmonize and stuff well yeah yeah we just all singing how do you like sings the first note like how do you know it's

starting yeah i feel like probably typically i would or anna would because she has a guitar so it's not brando he's not five six 8 and everybody in. You just kind of start like, hey, you guys want to do a little... We make fun of our dad for how he... He leads songs at our church. He used to more so, but he would sing...

He would blow a note getting the key. Do, re, mi. He would just do it wrong like that's i don't know it or do so and he would just i don't know just making up nonsense that's funny but yeah i don't know i feel like it's typically me or anna sometimes it's like these newfangled new songs that he doesn't even know so we'll he's newfangled stardom these poppy poppy hits tortured hymnals department i don't know what's going on okay what about can i ask you more

questions about this okay sure go ahead um like have you been doing this since you can remember like is it like a tradition your family or is it like yeah we probably started doing this five years ago i think for as long as i remember we've been we like i mean just we've sung in our church like right and it's like a group group singing thing in our church like that's been a thing but like and probably our family I don't remember ever like that not being normal yeah yeah yeah that's cool because that's what I want to like normalize normalize stuff like yeah I think it's I think it's good same with like just reading the bible with your kids like I I'm so tempted every time I read my bible with them to like give them a Devo and it's like, no, I just think I

wanted to like normalize the idea of like reading alongside of it. You know, like I want to normalize the idea of singing the doxology. That's dope. I think that's so fun. That's cool. Yeah. Can we normalize the doxology? Just normalize it. Come on. It's 2024. So you guys are harmonizing too? Yeah, for sure. Sorry sorry about that i mean like the hymnals have four bar harmony in them so we just sing it really that gum you're you're pulling out the hymnals at the dinner table not the dinner table okay like that's that would be like in the living room yeah yeah hymnals are in the living room brad brad little kids can sing little ones yeah yeah like they're pretty good they're pretty good yeah a tune. Is there, like, an ugly duckling?

You don't have to say which one it is, but did anyone not get musical talent? I mean, it sounds like Brando. No, he can sing pretty well. But not really. Really? Everyone got it? Everyone can for sure carry a tune.

Some people have, like, more... No one's tone deaf. Like, oh, yeah, definitely not. Okay. As far as I know. That's good. No, they wouldn't stay in the family if they're tone deaf yeah i don't they would there was one yeah yeah yeah i did like rachel so you mean currently in our family yeah rachel said that and i was like i had no idea that that was even a thing be real man yeah it doesn't seem like odd

to me yeah that's probably why i was like what are you what are you talking about normal yeah just singing that's fun that's you sing a song to start dinner? No. Okay. That'd be weird, Brad. No, in our fraternity, that's what we would do. We would, it was like our prayer was like, we would sing this song and then we'd sing the doxology at the end of dinner too. Yeah.

We have a bell that someone rings when it's time to eat. Like a triangle. Hey, supper time. But no, it's like, it's like a little cowbell. I think we got it from like this. Wow. I can't remember what. I can't remember what. I can't remember what. I can't remember what. I can't remember what. I can't remember what. I can't remember what. I can't, it's like a little cowbell. I think we got it from like this. Wow. You have a bell for supper. That's so quaint.

I know. It's my least favorite sound, I think, in the whole world. Why? It's food. Because it always is timed perfectly wrong. I'm like in the middle of something. But hey. Ah, no.

It is a very annoying bell, though. Like it's even just. This is a dinner bell to come down to dinner. Not we're all gathered around the table. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. No, no one sits down. You may eat. Now that everyone's here.

Hear ye, hear ye. Hear ye, hear ye. That's cool. I'm glad we got around to that. Hey, people watching on YouTube, notice anything different? Notice anything different? Anybody catch...

Oh, gosh. Anybody catch a live stream last wednesday brad just sawed off the arms that are normally here on youtube the tibias yes that's right um yeah hopefully it looks better i don't know it looks different i think it looks better hopefully time will stop freaking out about it definitely looks better on the wide angle, I will say. Yeah. There's time for him. How much time have you spent in New York City? I've been there, I think, three times.

Okay, yeah. I don't know. I've probably gone on five separate trips to New York City. But after this past week, I had about three days there, about 72 hours of really being on my own with no plans. It was kind of fun. It was very different than any other New York experience I've had. Have you done that very many times? I don't think so in any city, probably.

It's so fun. It was cool. I had a home base. It's not something you wish upon yourself forever. But, hey, a few times just being by yourself is awesome. In New York City. something about New York City. We were you were making fun of me before the podcast started. I was like, New York City is cool.

Like, yeah, dude. Oh, everybody knows this. Best kept secret. That's why that yeah, the rent's so cheap because people are like, please move here. Come on in. Look how high the buildings are. We need people to fill these. Yeah, but it was fun. There's something like, you know, you

grew up in the Midwest, you grew up on a farm. There's something like scary about New York and there's, there's crime and there's Batman and there's big cities and subways, but there's also something like romantic about it. I found myself like, I, you know, you see like the police department go by, you're like, that's New York city police department. NYPD. Yeah. Like I don't feel that way about any other police department uh i like took a subway to the brooklyn bridge park to play pickleball and i was like using like these water fountains these old nasty water fountains but it said nyc and i was like new york city water fountains i bet a lot of famous people have drank from this water for whatever reason that

specifically i was like this is cool it's like why is this cool something there's something about new york city they're just like they're just fun, why is this cool? Something, there's something about New York city. They're just like, I don't know, just font dude. It's branded so well. I mean, there's so many movies that are in New York. Like, I remember like a lot of times when I would go somewhere, I'll like, let's watch a movie based in this place. That's a cool idea. You know, or like even friends or how about your mother? Like they're just in New York city. And so it's just like, yeah, let's watch this show now, you know? Yeah. Um, dude, there's so many people there. I know, you know that, but I, I just, I loved like these realizations, like dude, and there's a ton of people. I mean, it's just,

honestly, I don't know if that city ever takes a rest. They should call it like the city that doesn't rest. It's crazy. That's basically, and you know, there's like, it's called that, but then it's also in the state called that. So it's like the city, and it's so great that they just had to call it that twice. They call it that two times. Yeah. Interesting stuff. Oh, dude.

There's like five separate distinct areas. Like the five, I don't know what you call them. Neighborhood places. Neighborhoods. Yeah. Oh, and dude, like just as far as like just a nice, large fruit goes, this is the city

that I would describe as that. Because there's a lot of pizza, but calling it the big pizza doesn't seem right. It's got to be something else, something that would be like the Mets games. Yeah.

I don't know. Anyway, a lot of people though. One thing I can't figure out is where does everybody work? Because a lot of these big buildings are apartment complexes and everyone's walking around all day. All they do is what everyone's out in the street.

Like, where is everybody working at? Where do 10 million people go to work at? Well, sometimes they're more than just apartment buildings, right? Yeah. I just I would like talk to locals and have them point out to me because sometimes you can see in the windows. You're like, that looks like apartments. Yeah, that one's apartments. That one's apartments.

Yeah. It was just overwhelmingly more apartments than like office buildings. You were talking to locals? Yeah. Just wasn't adding up to me. I'm sure they love that. Yeah. This is an apartment building, dude.

Tell me about that. Yeah, I know. Even now people, people just live in those little boxes. It was just fascinating, but it was fun having a home base, a hotel room for three days. So, I mean, every day I would, I had like, you know, my streets, I'd go up, I'm starting to get my land, my Asebo places I liked, had a Chick-fil-A down the street. You go to New York and you go to Chick-fil-A. Yeah.

Yeah. It felt like home. I feel like I looked at your location one time. I don't know if you're at home or not, but it was right by the Empire State Building. I was pretty close to there. I was in Midtown Manhattan. So the central Manhattan. So I was near the Empire State Building. I was near Madison Square Garden. I was in Midtown Manhattan, so the central Manhattan. So I was near the Empire State Building. I was

near Madison Square Garden. I was near Times Square. Yeah. So probably a somewhat touristy area. That's so fun, dude. But it was cool. I wasn't on Times Square, so it was nice. New York is just I mean, I stepped in like a ton of blood one night. What? Oh my gosh.

I was like, that was a bright red. You were human. I didn't know. It was dark out, but it was light enough to see there was blood. I'm like, oh, gross. I look up and there's a guy who had just gotten mugged or something. There was police talking to him and his eye was swollen shut and he was bleeding from his face. I was like, sheesh. You're like, that was kind of gross.

I just stepped in your blood, dude. Hey, you got a lawsuit on your hands, buddy. Yeah. Do you mind buying me some new shoes, man? These are Hoka's. My wife got me for these for a mile, buddy. Yeah. Do you mind buying me some new shoes, man? These are Hoka's. My wife got me for these for a mile a day. Yeah, they're white. Are you going to run my mile tomorrow?

Dang, dude. Yeah, well, I think of it as like, yeah, scary big city. But I think that compared to Chicago, it's like crazy safe. I would believe it. I don't know the date on that, but I would believe it. Yeah. Especially if you stay in Manhattan. I mean, I think it's touristy enough where it's fine but yeah like yeah stepped in blood

one night i got i put it on my instagram story i was there an hour and i got stopped three or four times on the street and not any of the fun ones hey what do you do for a living it wasn't for an instagram i was getting solicited yeah like hey uh what do you know at the bible i was like whoa here we go yeah and then it was not a fun person to talk to i was like hey we're on the same team i know we weren't, but I was like trying to just like get out of it. Yeah. There's gotta be a universal sign for like,

we're Christians. We're got it. You got it. And that wasn't good enough for him. I was like, Hey, I'm a Christian too. I know the Bible.

Yeah. And he's like, well, would you mind if I share a couple of verses with you? I was like, well, like what for, you know,

kind of like, well, me and my friend are headed to a Bible study right now. It's called the New Age. What was it? Something very New Age. And I was like, no, I think I'm good where I'm at. He's like, well, what kind of church you go to?

Like what denomination is it? And I was just like, I just kind of think I want to get out of this now. Yeah, two different people were asking me to like change religions. One person. Did you? I did not.

Okay. My first subway ride i went to buy like a little metro card which in hindsight they've upgraded subways now you just tap your card you don't need a specific metro car anymore you just tap your credit card that that sounds that that's one of those things that like it's i didn't know that i swear three years ago they didn't have that yeah i think that's that's pretty new. So I go to buy a MetroCard. This woman stops me. She's like, no, no, no. You don't want to do that. You don't want to do that.

I'm like, oh, jeez. I clearly look like a tourist, I guess. I'm the only one in line to do this. And she was like, she's getting out of her purse. She's like, how about a Spaniel? How about a Spaniel? I'm like, un poco. I don't know.

And she's like, okay, English, English. And she's like, you don't want to buy a card. Here's my card. Here, check my card. She like puts it in. She's clicking around, moving them 20 miles an hour. And then she's like, see, 580. There's 580 on the card.

So why don't you give me $5 and you just have my card. So I'm like, I can't tell if I'm being scammed right now. I think she's just saying instead of paying for the card, I would just pay her. So I was like, okay, yeah, just like five bucks for the card. She's like, well, and a little extra for the 580. So I was like, okay, $6. She's like, well, you make it 10,

I get a snack on the way home. What? And I was like, well. Does the card cost money? I think the card, yeah, I don't know how much. Okay. But the card costs money. It can't be more than, it's a little piece of paper.

Like, listen, lady. Yeah, she just cornered me much. Okay. But the card cost money. It can't be more than that. It's a little piece of paper. It's nothing. Like, listen, lady. Yeah, she just cornered me. She's speaking Spanglish, and I was just such a little sheltered people pleaser. I was like, yeah, okay, who doesn't want a snack? Who doesn't want a snack? Reached in my wallet.

She sees that I've got more than $10. She's like, and another $5 for my train ride home. And I put my foot down, and I said, you only get $10 out of me that's where i draw the line meanwhile i know there's only 580 in the car i don't even know how much the subway costs is this even enough do i have to refill this that's a great like yeah midwest versus big city like i have no you could tell me it costs 12 every single day to go one way yeah is it per stop or you could tell me's $30 a month for all you can ride.

And I would believe either. I had no idea. Turns out subway is pretty cool. It's so cheap and a good way to get around. Turns out guys, the subway is a good idea. It's nice. Yeah. I enjoyed the subway.

290 just per ride. So there was just two rides. Straight up basically $3. It was great. Good deal. But so that happened like hour two of being in new york city so then i kind of like the walls went up i was like i'm not talking to nobody anymore it's truly uh the next day a guy's not speaking english i could have used you your blackjack

dealer skills to tell me what language this guy was okay you know bulgarian something eastern european that's being he's holding a five dollar bill in my face like trying to get me to take it almost two subway rides i know and i'm like this is some sort of scam i don't know what it is but i feel like i should not take the five dollars i don't know what's going on so i just like take it from me yeah he you get arrested for burglary yeah maybe stealing yeah i don't know yeah but i had my guard up and i kind of liked it i kind of like new york city oh it it is fun. Oh, it's, it's alive, man. It's vibrant. You know, like that's the, I, I think I'm turning towards more of a country guy.

Like I appreciate being on land and like all that. And I think I have aspirations for that eventually, but like growing up, I was like, I want to live in a loft in the city. And I think that'd be so fun to yeah. walk everywhere or like not drive basically take the subway so fun man yeah it was fun I will say one stereotype that I don't think is true is like New Yorkers hey they they're on the go they're moving you better walk fast no like people were in my way for three days straight really yeah maybe it's the tourist I don't know maybe that's you tell how slow somebody is like that that's a tourist yeah maybe anyone not walking fast dude I love New York I'm gonna start standing way closer to cars now you I mean, you could tell how slow somebody is. Like, that's a tourist. Yeah, maybe. Anyone not walking fast. Dude, I love New York.

I'm going to start standing way closer to cars now. I think now, you know, moving vehicle, that's dangerous. Whoa, don't get too close. New York City, I mean, they're basically getting their toes run over, waiting to walk across the street. It's wild. And by day three, I was right there with them. I was like, why would I stand on the sidewalk? The cars aren't going all the way sidewalk.

Stand on the street, wait for the last car to go by and start walking. And like, yeah, I never wait for the crosswalks. No, you just go the last car. You're basically hitting your hip on their on their trunk, right? As you start walking that take you to the locals. They stand in the street and I like it. I feel like the first day or two that I'm in

a big city and I'm not used to the cars yet. Every time a car honks, I look, is that me? Like, like maybe they know me. Maybe they're just like, start trying to say Stafford. I'm from Stafford. Um, and it's like, uh, eventually it's like, no, they're not honking at you. They're never are honking at you. There's a lot of honking going on. So much honking, dude. Yeah. And like you're on a side street and you hear a honk and you look back like maybe maybe they're trying to communicate with what did i what do you need yeah but metro card so you got some good acai yeah i uh i texted bailey and i was like just fyi by far the best

i've had other than bondi little place called pliables okay it's really good pliable i had that three times in probably 36 hours to the point where I was like, I think my stomach's having a little tough time digesting all this. I'll say I better cool it a little bit. It was really good. So pliables is nice. Oh, the one in Maui. I was like, is that the one at biables is Maui? Yeah, that does sound right.

Yeah. Really anybody in Hawaii, they do it pretty well. Also, they have fresh fruit like that on. It's not a fair fight. Yeah. Yeah. New York's fun. Went to H on command. It's not a fair fight. Yeah. Yeah. New York's fun. Went to H&M.

Okay. Got a little haul. Been shopping for myself. Got a little something for Rachel. A haul. H-A-U-L. Yep. I was like, a haul.

I thought that was like a... I got stuff to decorate the hallway. A haul. I was like, a haul. Like the thermostat. Is it like a newfangled scarf? Nice. And two other quick things.

And then I'll... Hey, I'll let you go no i love i love talking new york like i genuinely i do it is it is fun yeah i enjoyed my time there um got to interview i think we talked about last week in the podcast joe sanagato on correct opinions right which is like the reason one of the major reasons we started ghost runners yeah i was listening to his podcast back in 2018 there's two guys just talking i was like this can't be that hard i have a funny friend yeah we could do this uh-huh it's always really cool not only get to meet someone who's been a I was listening to his podcast back in 2018. It was two guys just talking. I was like, this can't be that hard. I have a funny friend. We could do this.

And so it was really cool. Not only get to meet someone who's been a big inspiration, but like do the thing that, like our common interest together. It'd be like, oh yeah, I love Allen Iverson. Well, now I got to play basketball with Allen Iverson. This is pretty cool. You know, and record it.

He crossed me over. Yeah, yes. Step over me, step over me. Tyronn Lumi. So that was really fun. I feel like it was a good episode. I feel like I was myself still and made him laugh a couple times. Tell me more.

A mouse in the bucket came up organically on it. We were talking about animals and just getting rid of cockroaches in New York City or mice. And we were talking about different ways to do it. I was talking about how the sticky trap is the worst. That feels like the least humane way to get rid of them. And's like i'll tell you these people are psychopaths you're killing buckets and i was like laughing i was like oh wow the ghosty listening because he's listening you're gonna know and i let him go off a little bit he's like did again if i had mice in my house i'd have

a thousand buckets ready to kill mice and while he was talking about it i pulled up my phone i was like hey i want you to see this is eight days ago in my house. Look at this video, which I showed him my mouse in the house. What was the bucket? Tell me, tell me about like the, the setting for the interview. We found, uh, it's kind of sketchy. We found just like a podcast studio in Brooklyn. It was very interesting. It was like, walk down the long driveway. Once you get to the garage door, call me. And I went there early to drop off my luggage. And it was interesting. You go in this unsuspecting, looks like you're like, what do you call it?

Detached garage. It looks just like behind some Brooklyn apartments. And inside of it is this massive parking garage where all these people are storing their cars. It was like a evil lair or something. It was like, where'd this space come from? Yes. I mean, kind of almost.

It just seemed, it was almost like a fake door. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Almost for how big the building was behind it. It was hard to describe, but anyway, just a little rundown

and interesting. And so Trey was running late, but Katie Kennedy also flew up there. And so I made sure, I was like, Katie, let me know when you get here.

I'll come out and get you because it's a little interesting. But, and you go to this little studio and it was really nice. And they had a producer for us there and didn't get to talk to Joe too much before or afterwards.

But it was great to chat with him. Like literally like how many minutes? Give me like, he's walking and you're like, hey, I'm Joe. Five minutes before, three minutes afterwards. Okay.

The thing was, I could have talked to him more afterwards. This is a great internal... Struggle. Yeah, just a struggle, not necessarily internal, but just a great struggle. Because on one hand, we have this guy I really look up to and would love to spend more time with.

On the other hand, I made a little oops-a-daisy booking my flight. About a week ago, I realized, whoa, I'm not flying back till Wednesday morning. I'm only going to be in town two days before Ghostbusters getaway. I'd love to see Rachel earlier. I got volleyball Tuesday nights.

Why don't I fly back as soon as the podcast is over? I'd look at podcasts at noon. Easy, 345 flight. Don't think about Eastern Times. The podcast is actually at one. So now the podcast got over at like 225. I have my luggage with me. I'm like, all right, I'd love to chat.

I got to go. Joe is like, where's your flight? I was like, it's at 345 out of LaGuardia. He's like, brother, you ain't making that flight. I lived in New York City my whole life. You are not making that flight. And I was like, where's your flight? I was like, it's a 345 out of LaGuardia. He's like, brother, you ain't making that flight. I lived in New York City my whole life. You are not making that flight. And I was like, I think there's a chance. I have clear pre-check.

I at least need to see. And he's like, dude, come on. You don't want to hang out? I'm like, on one side, we have Joe Santagato being like, dude, you don't want to hang? On the other side, we have like going home and maybe just like wasting my time not making a flight that's impossible. I was like, I'm going to do it. I'm going to call the Uber.

And he doubted me. Trey doubted me, and I made it. Wow. Made the flight. How close? Very close. Really? Real close, yes. You had to run?

Yes, I actually started my mile, because I was like, it's going to be tough to get a mile in. I'm going to start it now. That's amazing. I was like, well, I'm about to run. Why would I not start this? And so Apple Watch started. I said, outdoor run.

And I'm just running through the airport by 10 and a half minute pace not bad for a backpack on yeah and um yeah i ran point one two so knock that off okay and um got to the gate pretty sweaty and boarded the flight and of course there two things they're like of course they're like i get a notification when i get to the airport good news we're running early yeah you are of course and two things they're like, of course, they're like, I get a notification when I get to the airport. Good news. We're running early. Yeah, you are.

Of course. And the other thing was when I get on the flight, we're like, we're having a little trouble getting the first engine started. So it's gonna be a little sweaty in here for a bit. Oh, yeah. No problem. No problem. I'm not already struggling to breathe. But yeah, I made the flight, went straight to, I landed in Kansas City, went straight

to Hy-Vee Arena, played volleyball, won all three sets, get done. Hey, we're looking for some subs. Let's do another one. Play another game, get done, run my mile there. My.88 remaining, and then got to be home last night, which was really nice. Good. How was the other Chris DiStefano? That did not end up happening. Oh, it didn't.

So it was just three days just for this one hour with Joe Santagata. Wow. That's nice. So you really did have time. Yeah, there was not much on this. I got a ton done. I wrote a bluegrass song. Yep. Did that.

Yeah, I got a lot of other work done. Because originally you guys were going to do a show. Yeah, show Tuesday night. Some more podcasts. One thing that happened. Sorry, I'm just going to keep going. Right before the podcast, I was like, let me go find a spot in Brooklyn to just like grab a quick bite. I go to this, it was a Bear Burger,

some burger place. They had chicken on the menu, no problem. As I'm getting to leave, a guy behind me goes, sir, why'd you sit there? I was like, oh, my trouble. I've ran down, I don't know, you got my MetroCard? You know, I don't know what's going on. And he's like, like, why did you choose that seat?

And I was like, oh, like just out of curiosity, like why, out of all the seats, why did I choose that one? He's like, yeah, I'm just curious. I was like, are you a psychologist that seat? And I was like, oh, like just out of curiosity, like why out of all the seats, why did I choose that one? He's like, yeah, I'm just curious. I was like, are you a psychologist? He said, I am. I said, this is my dream come true. This is awesome. Yeah.

Because I probably don't talk about this a ton on the podcast, but Rachel and I are very different in the sense that there is a reason for every single thing I do. Okay. Every single thing. You could ask me why I do anything, and I could tell you logically why I did it. Rachel's the opposite. Okay. So it just creates interesting conversations sometimes. So I'm always telling Rachel, like, yeah, I promise you there's a reason everything I did

consciously there's a reason, or is it more like if someone asks you, yeah, well, I, yeah, I don't know why I sat there. And then it was like, yes, I do. I'll tell you why. I think in the moment it's pretty consciously, but it was more of the fact like 15 minutes ago, why'd you do this? Hold on. Let me think about it. Okay. I figured tell you why. I think in the moment, it's pretty consciously, but it was more the fact like 15 minutes ago, why'd you do this? Hold on, let me think about it. Okay. And I figured it out. So I was like, this is so fun.

I can tell you exactly why I sat here. Yeah. And I'm just rattling off things. Well, this and this. And he gestured me in this to the point where he's like, all right, that's probably good. I was like, dang it. I overwhelmed the psychologist.

He's like, we don't, that's plenty. Do you think they were doing like a review or something, like a survey he said they're doing a study on non-verbal something i forget what non-verbal action not so something like that okay i don't remember now but i thought that was awesome i was like oh rachel's gonna love this she's like that is the dream scenario for you i was like it was i love getting quizzed by psychologists why i did something yeah the end like like the Midwestern in you is going to talk. Well, brother, sit down.

Let me tell you a few things. Yeah. Where are you from, by the way, Mr. Psychologist? It was fun. That was like five minutes before the podcast, and it was a great lead-in. So I love getting quizzed by a psychologist. How was Joe a normal dude?

He's a little like Trey, where he's like more reserved than you'd think off camera. Really? Just kind of quiet. Yeah. But that was great. He was was very nice that's so cool really nice guy that was fun me trey katie and joe sanagato who would have thought no derrick no derrick yeah just had to had to hire the producer yep he was nice though you took all these pictures he sent us over i mean tons of like high quality pictures like me and joe sitting next to each other that's

this is cool to have. Thanks, dude. Nice guy. Fun, man. That's great. I've got to get a drink. I'm sorry. I've just been filibustering. I'd like to apologize to the Goseys for talking so much. Dude, it's awesome. Fun to hear about the stuff you do. I wish you didn't talk during your podcast.

I don't know. I don't want to leave you stranded. Are you okay being alone with Tymon? Yeah. We'll FaceTime. Do not leave the room. Big, big... Do you have a win of the week, Tymon?

I can do my win of the week. Sure. I had a few, but I think the main win is just the idea of... The, the win of the week is my mom slash my aunts, uh, just helping out a lot. Uh, like I mentioned on Monday, Henry's just not, not the easiest baby. And so we're acclimating.

I, first of all, your, your parents time and just shout out to your parents because yeah, I know people say that a lot, but like, you know, cause like with three, they were always like, Oh, you got your hands full. And I'm like, Oh yeah, I guess now if someone says I lot, but like, you know, because like with three, they were always like, oh, you got your hands full. And I'm like, oh yeah, I guess. Now if someone says that, I'm going to be like, yes, I do. You were right.

Even at three kids, you felt like people were overblowing your hands. And maybe I'll feel that way in like another year or something. Have you ever gotten, are they all yours? I don't think I've gotten that yet. That was what it always was like

if like our whole family's in like Sam's Club or something like, Oh, are these all yours? Or maybe you're babysitting for somebody. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. As far as I know, who are you asking about? Right. Yeah. Um, no, but anyway, because of that, yeah, we've just been a little overwhelmed at times. Catherine has had to like go shopping, wanted to go shopping for the kids for spring and summer clothes for so long. And anyway, basically my aunt and my mom just stepped up and just helped out with the

kids. Some, and it's just been a, you know, we talk about the idea of family teams and how like, I always tell Hattie, like we are, we are team Ellis.

Like this is our team. That's fine. And like, like, yeah, I know that Bo got it out, but we're on a team. So you need to put it away,

even though it's not your response. Sounds like great parenting. It's, it's, it's, it's trying to cast this vision of like, how do I do things for you all the time? Like, because we're a team, like, because we're doing this together anyway. That's really cool. Trying to grow like servant hearted. Trying to patterns. Yeah. Or yeah. Just see the vision of like the bigger picture. It's not just about you. It's about us and about bigger things. So anyway, that's great. My aunt and my mom and having been so helpful among other people, of course, but, um, just, yeah, providing

meals or, or watching the kids while Catherine does something or picking Bo up from mother's day out or whatever. It's, it's just been, it's just a wonderful model of like the extended family and just how we're all supporting each other. So, um, yeah, that's my win of the week is my, my family. Oh, and I have another one. Can I do another one? I guess, um, we've officially hit the stage and I think I've been impatiently thinking this was going to happen for probably two years now, but Hattie is officially like reading all the time. Like she, she's starting to like, like really gain momentum as far as like being able to read herself. And I think she's really enjoying it.

And now she's just like going outside, reading a book. Like the other night I was putting Bo to bed. She brushed her teeth while sitting on the toilet, reading a book. Like she's like, just starting to multitask on the toilet. Yeah.

Sitting on the, yeah, it's closed toilet for the record. It wasn't like going to the bathroom. But anyway, just, it's really cute and it's fun. Parenting's basically over then. Now she can read. Yeah, you're fine.

Let her read. Yeah, man. So anyway, just fun. Because she's always been obsessed with books. Like always been obsessed with reading. So we're like, oh, she's just going to read all the time. Yeah. And she hasn't yet.

But I think she's finally getting there. But she also hates when I may not hate, but I've noticed like, she doesn't love it when I am too excited for her. Like she's almost like rolls her eyes or like downplays. Like, yeah, I read,

but I didn't read that much dad. Like whatever. And so, so she's reading and I'm just like, you like your book? You know, like just trying to be like a little more, even in my head, I'm like, even though in my head,

I'm like, you just read 20 pages of that book. That's incredible. You're amazing. I want to give you the biggest hug. It's like, so you're liking it. Do you need some help with any words? Are you good? No, I'm good.

And I'm like, okay, cool. Keep going. Yeah. Keep reading. Keep going. There is something about human nature. I think you always want to balance someone out. If someone's like, yeah, I don't notice it myself all the time subconsciously, but if someone's like being like socially awkward, I want to like help fill the silence for them and like plug in the holes. If someone's really excited, I would try to be like, well, let's keep our calm. If someone's really down on himself, like to think about the positive, I can't help it. I think that's pretty normal. You just, you want to balance your life. There was one time where Hattie goes, uh,

ma, or I don't know. She was talking to both of us, but she's like, you guys just compliment me so much. And so it was like a joke. It was a joke for a while where I was like, Hattie,

you're not that special. You're not incredible. You know, like she liked that. She thought it was, yeah, she thought it was hilarious. So I was just going to ask what kind,

what type of books has she written? Uh, little bear. Have you heard of that one? Oh yeah. I mean, just little bear, the most boring books you could ever imagine to be honest brown bear no well there's brown bear is it like little bear yep what will you wear yep something like that bear what will you wear birthday soup we're talking uh there's a bear in

the house and what will he wear that one yeah it's, it's like very repetitive. Like, will you wear this green shirt? No. Said little bear. Will you, you know what? I just like things like there's my, there might be a hundred words on the page or whatever, but there are only 16 words that they repeat over, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. So how do you teach someone to read? You start with the letters and the sounds they make. That's a great question in general. Yeah. I've never thought about this. Yes. But there's, there's different methods obviously. Cause you've heard of sight words. No, no, I don't think so. I feel like that's how I reading. I think that was like how we grew up reading or learning how

to read. And I think at least Catherine has been like, I don't like that idea as much. Like sight words was basically like, Hey, this word is S I G H T site or whatever. Like, that's not why they call that. And there's a, that's a bad example. This word is W I E I G H T. But even though it looks like wig, it's weight and you just got to know that. Oh, it's just like a memorization. It's like a very visual memorization. It's just flashwords. Like I know that word is duck. I know that, you know, rather than like, this is why that word is. Yeah. Well, that's the benefit of homeschooling. If you have a very visual child, teach them that way. Yeah.

So I hope I have visual children. I hope they're not blind. You're going to love it, dude. I hope they're not blind. Gosh, if my kids are blind, I send them back. If they're blind, I'm going to put a piano in their hands ASAP. Oh, they're going to be stars. We'll work around it. It doesn't matter. Yeah. I'm going to be an artist. So I can't wait. Anyway, pump for going to be stars. We'll work around it. It doesn't matter. Yeah. We'll be artists.

I can't wait. Anyway, pump for hat. Yeah, Little Bear. I think there's more, but I don't... I can't think of them off the top of my head. She also wrote a few of her own books that she had. Oh, that's amazing. My little niece type up on the computer and print out, so she loves reading those.

Cool. She'll sell you one if you want one. They're up for grabs. She's also like a businesswoman right now. Yeah. She, like the other day, she's like, we have to get to church on time because Ava's buying a bracelet from me. I was like, I don't think that this is the right place for you to like view as like a marketplace, Hattie. Jesus is going to come flipping your tables. Exactly. Just FYI. Oh, Miss Susie said she needs a bracelet so i have to get it done before church tomorrow i'm like hattie that's not that's not important miss suzy said eow do you think that means sunday or is that friday yeah eos end of sabbath so i don't know

um anyway win of the week timing um it's like kind of like an anticipation win okay win on the way me and graydon are gonna do uh perform who's on first like Abbott and Costello at like a Greenleaf comedy night on Saturday oh cool so I'm hyped for that we're gonna practice it like this afternoon you know that very well I mean not super well but you know the idea yeah yeah it's great you should you should watch it yeah I've seen it I've seen it before okay before okay I just couldn't do it right now I thought maybe that's where we're going no no I don't know it well i just want to make sure you at least knew what it was oh yeah it's great i think my introduction to it was watching rain

man probably in like middle school my dad was like you need to watch rain man it's like great and uh the uh the autistic guy doesn't happen in that is like talking about it he knows that's one of his like things he says over and over who's up first who's up first it's kind of tough to memorize i think i did it a long time ago like when i was yeah probably like 12 like also for a green leaf thing and so it's like kind of coming back a little bit from that but i'm playing a different guy ah but yeah it's like so much just like you gotta remember the exact words to say yeah you gotta get it word perfect yeah you can't get it pretty close yeah yeah that's cool that's a fun win yeah will you record that do you think

maybe record your first try you could just you just come if you want we're gonna be on the ghost get away crap yeah maybe i'll try to get it recorded if i can i just think it'd be fun to see i bet you guys would ham it up too i hope yeah i hope so we gotta like strong like new york accents or something yeah we'll see. How nervous do you get? I would assume so much of Greenleaf's audience is people that you know. Yeah. Is that more? A decent amount, yeah.

Does that make it a little bit less nerve-wracking? I don't know. I don't think so. I think simply my level of nervousness is just how prepared I feel. Yeah, yeah. Because it doesn't really matter who's watching. Good for you. I feel like I get more nervous if I know people watching. I feel. Yeah. Yeah. Cause like it doesn't really matter who's watching. Good for you. I feel like I get more nervous if I know people watching,

I'd rather perform for strangers. Then again. Yeah. I don't know. I think like the one, um, or it depends. It's maybe it's like someone who I like hasn't seen me in like a

performance context before or something like that. Maybe that'd like make me nervous. Like I want to get a good one. Yeah. Timon's a weirdo. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool.

I mean, the Greenleaf Comedy Night, I don't think they've done something exactly like this before. Apparently, someone's doing stand-up comedy. I'm like, I'm excited to see how good or terrible that is. It's like me using a fake name. I like those. It's like big-time comedians in New York. Yeah.

Some improv, I think. That'll be fun. I want to come to Greenleaf Comedy Night. Yeah, next time. That's the thing. People would probably laugh because I know you at least, you know what I mean? For sure.

Yeah. Especially the improv stuff. I know for the guy doing standup comedy, I'm just going to like anything I think is remotely funny. I'm just going to laugh so loud. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That's good, dude. When is it? Uh, this Saturday evening. Maybe Catherine can go with the four kids by yourself. They all hers. Whoa. Got a small family for Greenleaf.

My win of the week is that I got to perform in a round. You know about those? Where you're in a circular stage? Las Vegas Sphere? Bargetti did that for one of his specials, I think. Oh, yeah. I've watched clips from that. Nashville? It doesn't matter. Go ahead. 360. Yeah. Bargetti did that for one of his specials, I think. Oh, yeah. I've watched clips from that. Nashville's?

It doesn't matter. Go ahead. Yeah, I know which one you're talking about. Yeah, 360. Yeah, yeah. It's like what comedians do, or musicians in like arenas. You're just in the center. This was a smaller theater, and it wasn't a full 360,

but we were able to sell like half of it. So it was still like a little bit of like turning and everything, and I didn't think much about it before I got on stage and i think now the specials over i'm just playing with house money i'm just having fun up there performing not who cares but just way more relaxed i'm just having a blast and yeah i felt very comfortable i was like this is so fun let me know if i'm not addressing you enough where did lucas stand yeah i was like is this a good spot since i've never done this before and uh, so that was kind of a fun new experience. Just like I found myself moving way more performing

because I had to. And then you're like subconsciously like, I think I haven't looked at the people on the right enough. I feel like I should give them more of this joke. All right, now back to here. Interesting. Where was it?

That was Westbury, New York. It was on Long Island. Okay. The woman I did the crowd work with, I was like, where are you from? She said,

Hog Pog. Not Hodgepodge. Hog Pog. Not hodgepodge. Hogpog. Hogpog. Yeah. Wild. That's a New York place? I made fun of it a pretty good amount and then learned it was Native American, so I

cooled off a bit. Whoopsies. Yeah, but I still, I mean, it's New York. They don't care. Hogpog. I'm coming in here. They have Native American places in New York? In Long Island, except exceedingly...

Exceedingly Native American. Exceedingly Native American. Yeah, I learned that. I had no idea. Okay. It's uncultured going up there. How close to a stereotypical New York accent is the typical speaker there?

A good amount of people in Long Island had a good New York accent. I really liked it. I even told the security guard, I was like, I love the way you talk, man. He's like, don't mention it. It was great. A lot of the fans like even ghosties had accents i told them i loved them so paint me a picture of long island because in my head it's like this is so wrong i think i think it's just like a tiny little spot of some like i don't know

long island's way bigger than i thought it was yeah it's not bad i don't know the full stereotypes of long island i've heard like comedians talk about like different things about long island but So Long Island's way bigger than I thought it was. Yeah. It's not bad. I don't know the full stereotypes of Long Island. I've heard like comedians talk about like different things about Long Island, but it feels like a lot of a joke. Like Brooklyn and Queens are also on Long Island. So I don't know how you can possibly describe the whole island as like, well, Long Island is this.

Oh, I thought it was like its complete own place. And I could be wrong. Okay. I thought that it was like its complete own place and i could be wrong okay i thought that it was like attached to brooklyn and queens but maybe there's like slight waterways that like technically were separate huh i don't know okay but you look at a map and it's all kind of the same little thing that's come sticking out from new york so i don't know apparently it's very native american uh but i i truly don't know that much about it. Okay. I feel like anything I'm going to say is just going to be wrong.

Yeah, but like how, like big. It feels like a city. Oh yeah, tons of different cities and suburbs. In my head, it's like one strip of businesses on Long Island. Oh no, it's huge. I mean, there are multiple communities and suburbs. It'd be like saying I performed in Connecticut.

Yeah. Like, oh yeah, there's a ton of people there. Yeah, yeah's huge. I mean, there are multiple communities and suburbs. It'd be like saying I performed in Connecticut. Yeah. Like, oh, yeah, there's a ton of people there. Okay. Yeah, in my head, it's like a very quaint, tiny little trash heap. Trash heap. New Yorkers, tell me what I got right. Tell me what I got wrong. Anyway.

Please. Take two. Can you name the most... Never on the first try. Please take two. Can you name the most? Never heard of the first try. Oh, sometimes it would have been if you didn't interrupt me. Can you name the 10? Sorry, I'm gonna do five.

I'm gonna do five. I'm gonna do five. I just like the intense staring at the camera. I can't even look at you. Jake, can you name the five most popular languages? Dang it. Wow. Jake, can you name the five most popular languages spoken in the world? I'll try.

Okay. Go ahead. Let's go Mandarin Chinese. Mandarin Chinese. Mandarin Chinese. 1.3 billion native speakers. The most popular language in the world. Pretty good. At least Chinese.

Chinese. Okay. Okay. I'm trying to remember what the Indian language is because I guarantee you that's in the top five. I'm going to say some words. Let's see if they're Indian. You're going to get canceled? Actually, I need to look up what this

word means i'm afraid what are you looking up okay i think it's okay no this is a language punjabi punjabi is uh not on the list yeah i was like i don't know why i've heard this oh i'm sorry number 10 uh western punjabi is number 10 on the list. I'm throwing out Indian words in the top 10. That's not bad. Yeah. I don't think I'm going to get the actual Indian language, so pass on that.

What's the Indian language? Good question. All right, I'll keep trying to guess. I think it's Arabic. Oh, well, I could have guessed that. That's not Indian. Dang it. Arabic's like the Middle East. I'm going to go Arabic.

Arabic number four, 362 million native speakers. Wait, 362 million? 362 million. Oh, so English is in there then. English number three, 380 million speakers. Yeah, there we go. So I think it's, yeah, it's Chinese, something in India. It's got to be English,

Arabic, Russian? Russians, number eight. Japanese. Japanese, not on the list. Oh, I'm sorry. Number nine, 123 million. Koreans, probably like eight.

No Koreas. Okay. Oh, Spanish. Spanish, number two. Idiot. I eight. No Koreas. Okay. Oh, Spanish. Spanish number two. Idiot. I was trying to go country by country. 486 million native speakers. All right.

Is there one that I'm going to get? I think you would know this. Okay, so it's not India. I'm so bad at, after apparently Arabic's not Indian, but this one sounds kind of like the word India. after apparently Arabic's not Indian. But this one sounds kind of like the word India. I was going to say Portuguese, but I guess it's not that. What would a top five language be? It says Northern India and parts of Pakistan, it says.

So this is the one you're thinking of. Oh, okay. What's it called? Hindi. Oh, Hindi. $345 million. Don't sleep on India. I say it. Don't you dare. Every episode. Don't you dare. There's a lot $345 million. Don't sleep on India. I say it.

Don't you dare. Every episode. Don't you dare. There are a lot of people over there. What was the top five again, just for my own curiosity? Chinese, $1.3 billion. Spanish, $486 million. English, $380. Arabic, $362. Hindi, $345. And then right under that is Bengali, which I believe is also

two in India. Yeah. And then Portuguese under that is Bengali, which I believe is also... Also, yeah. Two in India. Yeah. And then Portuguese, I guess just because Brazil is huge. And then Russian, Japanese, Western Punjabi, Landa. That's embarrassing. It took me a long time to get Spanish.

That is a bummer. Well, your head is one where. Yeah, I'm trying to go country by country. Yeah. All right. I trying to go country by country. Yeah. All right. I got one for you, Brad. Can you rank the artist with the most number one songs on the Hot 100? Right now or ever?

Like ever. Okay. Rank. Like, yes. Hey, you know, rank the artist with the most number one hit songs. Okay. That's probably a better way of saying it. Okay.

So see if you can go top five. Taylor Swift. Not in the top five? No. Taylor Swift is... This is number... Taylor Swift is taylor taylor swift is nine okay this is number one it's not just like on the billboard hundred you have to be hold the number one spot how many times do you get a song at number one the beatles beatles number one okay uh justin bieber no bieber drake drake is number five okay um michael jackson michael jackson is number five. Okay.

You know what I mean? I'll try my best. I won't study flags in the meantime. Please don't. I won't. Okay. I won't. All right.

One last story from my time was past week. I'm texting my friend, Alex Dimchek. And he's like, what are you up to? I was like, I'm in New York city the next few days. I don't really have a,

I don't think I have that many friends up here. So if you know anybody, have them holler on me. He puts me in a group text with a guy. I don't think I'm going to say his name because of where the story goes. Okay. This guy texts me. He's like,

Hey, you want to go to Nick's game? I was like, dude, I, I mean, i'm not a nix fan by any means but it's the nba playoffs master garden i would love to see it yeah let's do it he's like i'll meet you at your hotel 5 30 great he i thought it was like picking me up or

something maybe i don't know where i'm at you know he hops in on a scooter he's like all right let's walk i was like oh we can walk there he's like yeah of course like i don't know anywhere in new york city yeah we start walking i'm like where are our tickets there? He's like, yeah, of course. I don't know. We're in New York City. We start walking. I'm like, where are our tickets at? And he's like, so we don't really have seats or tickets. I'm like, oh, brother. All right, what's going on? Scalping tickets? And so he's like, but I'll get us in.

And I was like, what's kind of the plan? And he's like, he's the guy from the movie. He's like, dude, just follow my lead. I was like, all right. I feel like I kind of need to know the plan, though. I don't know what's going on.'s like out of a movie. He's like, dude, just follow my lead. I was like, all right. I feel like I kind of need to know the plan though. Like, I don't know what's, I don't really know you.

Like, what was this guy? What kind of vibes was he giving off? Was he giving off cool guy vibes? Like this guy's going to get in trouble. What kind of vibes? Confident vibes. Okay.

And he starts to tell me, he's like, I do this all the time. Okay. I went to the waste management. I've been to this football game. I've been to this NASCAR race. Like, this is what I do. I have like ways to get into venues. I've been to this football game. I've been to this NASCAR race. Like, this is what I do.

I have, like, ways to get into venues. I literally did it two nights ago. Game one, Sunday night. I just got done doing this. I was like, well, all right, it's a little more believable. So we're going to, like, sneak in. He's like, it's not really sneaking. You got, like, a few, I got a few different options.

You got a plan A and a plan B. Thinking, jeez, like, I did this kind of stuff when I was, like like 20 years old. I'd like sneak into concerts pretending to be the videographer. But I don't know about now. 32 Madison Square Garden NBA playoffs. I don't know if this is like where I want to be in life. It's an expensive ticket.

Yeah. But it seems legit. And yeah, I don't know if I want to like dox him and say all these like details. But basically, like we try one entrance don't know. I feel like I want to like talk to him and say all these like details. But basically like we try one entrance, doesn't work. So he's like, oh, we need to go over here. What doesn't work?

Come on. Like we try to show this like kind of pass thing and like, all right, we need to see some IDs. Well, our IDs are not going to match because the pass says

my name's Michael. So this isn't going to work out. So then he's like, oh, hold on. We're at the wrong entrance. We're pretending to work for like a media company. Oh, okay. Yeah.

And he's got a camera with him. And so we go to another entrance. Next entrance. Easy peasy. We are in Madison Square Garden in 30 seconds. Right. He didn't make me go through the metal detector. He's like, right this way.

Yeah. I bet that camera probably messes up in the middle. Don't worry about that. Yeah. And I mean, instantly we were in Madison Square Garden. I'm like, this is crazy. I should have never doubted this dude. This is insane. Yeah. This guy's my savior. This guy, my friend, he thinks that the game is at 630. So we got there at six.

The game was at 730. You were there. You sent a picture to us and it was like there was nobody else there. We were the only people. Are you doing, are you playing pickup at Madison Square Garden? It was wild how early you were there. We were the only people. Are you playing pickup at Madison Square Garden? It was wild how early you were there. We were the only fans in Madison Square Garden, the only people in there, and I'm not exaggerating.

I mean, I took a video of it. We could show it on the screen right now, but seats are empty. It's just the players warming up. And so we just went down to the court and just watched them warm up. And I don't even know most of these guys' names, but it was fun to see. Yeah.

It's fun to see even just seven-footers. How often do you get to see seven-footers? It's like a zoo exhibit. It these guys names but it was fun to see yeah yeah it's fun to see just like even just like seven footers how often you can see seven footers like a zoo exhibit it's like this is just fun to look at you're just gonna see seven footers play basketball like this is awesome and we're like we're taking pictures and i'm taking videos and maybe our behavior might have like garnered some attention we didn't know no one was talking to us everyone let us go wherever we wanted we thought thought, hey, these people are cool. They don't care. Yeah. But potentially, we might have been garnering some poor attention. So we go back into the tunnel.

This is where we came from originally. You felt it a little bit, the poor attention? No, it was like, no, it was cool. It was just like, these people don't care where we go.

We're on the court, you know, snagging picks. This is great. And whenever the game starts, we'll just kind of go back to the tunnel and watch from there.

He's like, that's what I did two nights ago. We go back into this like VIP lounge and it's just just catered food all the drinks everything's free and so no one else is there yet no one else is there when he first got there after we spent about 30 minutes courtside we're like hey let's go get some food now there's a ton of people back there yeah we're starting to fill in and so like this is awesome and i i get a big old plate of cheese and spinach ravioli. And I'm chowing down on this. And the guy is like, the food was better two nights ago. I'm like, dude, this is, I'm having the time of my life.

This is amazing. Don't apologize for the food quality. Because it was great. And it's free. I was like, this is awesome. I got a big old thing of cheese ravioli in my mouth when I get confronted face to face with a very much just like a pit boss looking guy,

suit, jacket, Italian, and just very serious, very stern. Hey, who are you guys? You're not supposed to be here. And he's not addressing the other guy. He's just like looking at me. Like I'm the guy in charge. You're like, oh, sorry, man. Just a second.

Hold on. I really was taking my time to choose. It's pretty hot. Hey, dude, talk your stuff. I don't know what time to choose. It's pretty hot. Hey, dude. Talk your stuff. I don't know what to say at this point. Show them the thing, Michael. Yeah, basically, he was just like, I know those passes don't work.

I know you're not supposed to be here. How'd you get in? We can either look at the cameras. You guys just be honest with me. I was like, I'm ready to be honest with him and just get the heck out of here. He's like, you guys are trespassing in Madison Square Garden. I'm like, yes, we are.

I'll get out of here. Yes, we are. Lock me up, buddy. And I mean, it was great. I was like, I'm about to go to jail with this guy I don't even know. This is so dumb.

Dim check. How much is trespassing fine? They're like, what's the, I don't know, what are the ramifications? I don't even know what I'm doing right now.

And this guy was just like, nice enough that we were honest with him. He's like, all right, appreciate you letting me know. I'm going to escort you guys out. I was like, great. And he was like getting kicked off to Boeing 737. I'll leave. This is actually better.

So I was so ready to get out of there. So yeah, we got out. Of course, I'd already posted on my story. And someone's like, dude, you got to see an amazing game. I'm like, I did not. Actually, I heard about it. I heard it was a real fun game. It sounded raucous. So yeah, that was the story of getting kicked out of Madison.

It's just been such a hectic week. Do you think about that? I've ran through multiple airports. I ran through a union station in Washington, D.C. I got kicked out of a plane and Madison Square Garden. It's been a lot since last week. Well, what's funny is like you. You told me that you got kicked off a plane and Madison Square Garden. It's been a lot since last week. Well, what's funny is like you, you told me that you got kicked off a plane

and then I saw that you got kicked out of Madison Square Garden. Like you said that to our friend group. Yeah. Group text. And in my head without knowing, and like, I think so subconsciously, I was like, surely this isn't true.

But in my head, I was like, is Jake become like a bad boy? Like, like, like, because I didn't know the background of the story of the planes. I was like, surely this isn't true. But in my head, I was like, is Jake become like a bad boy? Like, like, like, because I didn't know the background of the story of the planes. I was like, maybe Jake just like stood his ground or something. It was just like, and they're like, sir, you're going to have to leave. And you're like, fine, I'll leave. I'll leave out of

principle. Never. I know. I don't think you would either. But like, maybe Jake's just turned this corner and then he's like, I'm just going to go to mass. And it looked like you were having court side seats at Madison Square Garden. yeah and you guys yeah somehow got hooked up with them and whatever and then altercation with yeah i was like i was like what was he saying to these guys yeah and instead it was like the opposite where it was like nope we're not supposed to be here thank you please show me the quickest way out of here and i would love to leave i'll leave i'll leave so fast

dude i literally shook his hand i was like like, I'm sorry. I will leave. Dude, it sounds like you guys just flew too close to the sun. That's exactly what this guy said. He was so, he was very apologetic, which is nice. I feel like that he probably needed to. Yeah. Nice guy. Nice.

Yeah. Good guy. But he was like, dude, I'm so sorry. I kid you not. Like I've been to 40 events like this and I've never been removed before. He's like, I got too confident. We shouldn't have gone courtside. We should have just hung out back here.

Nothing would have ever happened. If you would have waited slash known the right time. Or just don't get there an hour and a half beforehand. Exactly. Don't be the only ones in Madison Square Garden. Yeah, if you would have waited an hour to be there, you would have been just fine. Yeah.

Because then it's not suspicious that you're courtside because so are a thousand other people. Yeah. it's not like suspicious that you're courtside because so are a thousand other people yeah you know yeah suspicious that you're at courtside then you're going and eating a big old plate i love that too maybe it was like there's no way that guy's supposed to be here look at how huge his plate is he knows he's trying to get this food and get out of here yeah it was funny it was so wild dude yeah kind of a hectic week but things are good it's all good no trespassing fine got to see the garden yeah what was it like it was cool it was fun yeah yeah it felt like yeah some episode of seinfeld or something just like we're in new york how'd we end up here where's kramer isn't madison square garden like like that basketball arena like

up a few floors of like it's not right ground level is it do you know does that make sense like like madison square garden i imagine it's like a pretty tall building is that right no i would say it's pretty standard really like arena i would say i mean maybe a little taller maybe because it's a huge venue but i think we went up an escalator originally and then went back down some steps to go to the court again. Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm looking at pictures. I don't know what I was thinking. I imagined in my head it was more square.

It was almost like a building that had a venue in it. That's kind of fun, like a skyscraper. Yeah, not like a huge skyscraper, but in my head it was like 10 stories or something. Dude, speaking of gardens, I was in Brooklyn yesterday. I drove by the Barclays Center, which is where the Brooklyn Nets play. The top of the dome. I feel like people don't talk about this.

Maybe they don't watch NBA enough. The top of the dome is grass. They like planted flowers and grass on the top of the arena. I've never seen anything like it. It was very green of them. The rooftop garden. Yeah, it was cool. That should be what they do for the garden.

Yeah. Madison Square Garden. Whoa, that is crazy. Like, yeah, it was cool. That should be what they do for the garden. Yeah. Madison Square Garden. Whoa, that is crazy. Like, yeah, the whole thing. Yeah, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. It was awesome. Did you go on the... F train?

Yes. No, there's like some like park, the High Line. No, I don't know about the High Line. I went and I... Granted, we did it for like one mile. I think it's like a long like... Supposedly like a city like elevated park or something and I didn't get that. I didn't get the hype,

but I guess nice. Yeah, maybe there's cooler parts to it, but it's a cool idea to like just be able to like walk the entire city in this park. Yeah. I like stuff like that. I like being up high. Anyway, that's story getting kicked out of Madison Square Garden.

I'm done. I'm done. I don't, I'm not boarding any, no planes, no trains, no buildings. I'm going to stay home.

Yeah. I'm a little bit worried flying with you, uh, to Alabama. Yeah. You might not want to, we'd figure something else out, man.

I can't wait to be on the beach. It's going to be fun. It's already happened. By the time this is, we're halfway done. It's going to be so fun, dude. It's gonna be a really good time. We have a lot of good stories. So I hope so. I hope it's

that, that is the fun thing. Like there are, there are inside jokes that have been made that are going to last for a long time. You know what I mean? Like just all because of this thing. So, um, I'll say this right now, this is random, random story. Uh, a hug will offset a lot of frustrations, Jake. I'll tell you that right now. Let me tell you more. Okay. I took Henry to the chiropractor the other day. Wow.

Yeah, baby chiropractor, pretty effective. He's been gaseous, crying a lot, whatever. And after he goes to the chiropractor, dude's pooping. Dude's doing just fine. Anyway, 9.30 chiropractor appointment. I get there at 9. 9 25 i check in on my phone just so i can stay in the van with him while he's sleeping and we don't get into this chiropractor usually it's very very quick we don't get into the chiropractor till 10 20 when you start

9 25 almost an hour of and eventually of course he wakes up and he's screaming and crying and whatever and and like i was crying and whatever. And like, I was like, like Catherine was like, I can take him to the chiropractor. And I was like, no, let me do it. Like being nice to her. Like, I know I have a lot of work to do, but I'm going to do whatever. And so I was, I was getting frustrated. Catherine was texting me like, I'm really sorry. This is happening. I know you have a lot of stuff to do. Anyway, I walk in there, like not ready to be mean by any means, but like, it's time for the doctor to see us bothered. I walk in there and I was just going to be like pretty, pretty, just no, no nonsense. That's like, let's go.

Yeah. I walk in there and the receptionist who is a girl that was a few years older than me in high school, newer, she just right away, like big old smile. She's like, congratulations on your new baby. Give, you have to give me a hug. Oh wow. And immediately dude, my, my demeanor was changed. And I was just like, thank you so much.

Yes, awesome. Yeah. Yeah. I was ready to like, you know, be as mean as Brad gets. Come on. Let's do this. Not very mean, but just like, hey, how you doing? Yeah, it's down here.

Okay, great. Thank you. Yeah, just quiet. And instead, she just changed it. All she did was just want to give me a hug and be excited. What a lesson on customer service. Truly. And just general generosity.

General just kindness. So anyway, yeah, that was a random thing. It's fun. Thanks for sharing that. Yeah, thanks. Time has got to go soon. Should we finish with our comment of the week? Yeah, let's do it.

If you want. Yeah, mine... Oh, jeez. Did I lose it? Here we go. Mine's on the YouTube video from Mouse in the House, last Monday's episode. M. Leo...

M. Leo... Oh, man, I don, M Leo. Oh man, I don't know this. Something Stone Town. Stone Town? M Leo Stone Town. M Leo, MLE of Stone Town. Said Brad's face when Tymon started singing and the smile he had through the whole mouse in the house song, dot, dot, dot.

Brad is such an encouraging friend who seems to genuinely care and be super invested and appreciative of people and their talents. He has a new baby. You know he's sleep deprived and yet he still brings his love and energy to the pod. Thank you, Brad. I thought that was so sweet. A lot of people had nice things to say about your face specifically. Last episode.

Like his face? That face! Anyway, that was really sweet. I thought that was kind and I appreciate people saying nice things. So thank you, Emily Ostbaum. Mine is from Miranda Hicks. Whenever I watch the pod on YouTube, I naturally wait to click the like button until it feels right. I'm talking about the segment story, et cetera, that makes me feel like it's a crime to have watched the pod and not liked it. I love this.

Today's moment was Mouse in the House by Jacob Diamond. That song is gold. Peanut butter covered in mouse fur gold. Definitely need more Jacob Diamond songs in the near future. Thanks in general to everyone, not just Miranda Hicks, but everybody was so complimentary of that. It gassed me up and made me want to do more. Absolutely.

Very fun thing we got going on. It's like the idea of what's the voice or whatever, where they're back to the singer. She's like the idea of like what's the voice or whatever where they're like, you know, back to the back to the singer. She's waiting to smash that like button and then finally we tell them what I enjoy. Somebody make a video of that, you know time.

You got a comment. I was looking for one, but it's fine. All right, actually, actually, I'm going to leave time. It's done. He's checked out. We didn't get, actually, I'm going to leave. Time is done. He's checked out. We didn't get any. No, this one cracked me up.

It was when the podcast went public but hadn't been named yet and then Patrick Drahman just said, you're looking for

name suggestions? It's a good idea. Yeah. If you guys get it to me before I do, give me some name suggestions. Fast forward in the pod. See what you think.

That would be kind of funny. Um, but yeah, that's fun. Another good episode. A lot of content going out this week. A couple long episodes. Content or comment for you.

Timing four hours ago, Emily Heinz said everything about timing is hilarious. Oh wow. He got this job because he sent them a message. He's so young and now just comes on and sings all the time. I wonder how often he thinks dot, dot, dot.

This is the craziest job. He sent them a message. That's true. It is pretty amazing. Like just the randomness of it. Cause sometimes people send us stuff and we don't have bad intentions, but we just don't respond very well or whatever. Like we get bogged down.

I think I, yeah, it's just, it's, you can't be available all the time for everybody. So time and just hit it at the right time or said the right things or whatever to like, and I missed the first message.

If you remember that time, it did shoot a shot. I didn't see it. But then he replied to my story about something else. And then I scrolled up and I was like, Oh, Oh dude, great.

That's a good lesson too. Yeah. There you go. Power of the followup. I didn't do it. Power of the followupup but i also think instagram has kind of stopped you from doing that now have you noticed that you dm someone who doesn't follow you you only get one message oh yeah i think i saw that and maybe a story reply is different i don't

know hey i don't know either way hack reply to the story right of the story whenever anyone dms me on instagram that i like don't follow it takes me so long to end up seeing it just because like it's like hidden in these dude why does it go to hidden it just because like, it's like hidden in these. Dude, why does it go to hidden? Cause it's not spam. It's like very normal messages go to hidden. Yes.

So frustrating. It is weird. Same with like the hidden comments on Instagram where it's like, why'd they hide that? They hid a gift from time on Friday pickleball. It's like, this is a perfect comment for this video. It's a Ted Lasso gift.

Why would they hide that? But that I saw that time and come on, have some better judgment. I liked it. So maybe it on hit I saw that, Tymon. Come on. Have some better judgment. I liked it. So maybe I'd unhid it. I don't know. Unhid. All right.

Tymon's got to go memorize who's on first. Is that what you're actually doing? Yeah, part of it. I'm like hanging out with Graydon a little bit, but also just like practicing that because it's Saturday. Cool. Yeah. Sheesh.

It'll be fun. I'll be like, sheesh. Sunset on the beach. Who's on first with me? I'm a musician now. All right. We'll see you guys Monday coming live from, not live, coming from Gulf Shores with all the ghosties in a room with us.

It should be a very fun episode. We'll see you guys then. Awesome. Love you guys. Ghosts from the Spot. Yeah. Ghosts from the Spot. Yeah.
