Thanks for listening. Happy Monday, Ghosties. We are in the living room of Gulf Shores, Alabama, the Pearl. Yeah, we are. And we've got a bunch of Ghosties here with us, so it was very fun. There was some returning from last time. One of the first conversations I had with Janelle Miel. Janelle Miel. You know, a great friend of ours. Janelle Miel has been here for every single live podcast recording we've done.

Basketball? Yep. Or F12? No, basketball and F12. They were different. Both. Wow. Thanks, Janelle. And, well, this ties into it. So, different. Both. Wow. Thanks, Janelle. And well, this ties into it. So yeah, we have a great relationship with Janelle. She's awesome.

You know, I'm catching up with her. Like, remind me again, last year, you know, we did this week-long contest with the chips and the rubber bands. Like, what was your prize last year? I can't remember. She kind of gets this like weird look on her face. She's like, I was like, what? Why don't you want to say what your prize was?

She's like, do you want to know? I was like, yeah, what was your prize last year? She's like, I won the prize last year that said,

get your name said 10 times in a jean shorts video. Jeez! And we never did that. I never even thought about it. I never even crossed my mind. I didn't even know that was a prize

until right now. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet because this is the Ghost Rubs Podcast. Ghost Rubs Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking ground.

Ghost Rubs Podcast. All right. Hey, we're here. It's Tuesday. Tuesday. Tuesday. Oh, man. Jake, take it away. Okay, yeah. Thank you, Brad. Yes, for everyone, I think everyone listening right now should go to YouTube and see all these beautiful ghosties. Ghosties, make some noise. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

It's so fun. It's so fun. It's so fun. We're having a really good time. Yes. Everyone is great. I've even told, like, Rachel got here late, and I was texting Rachel. I said, we have some, like like a very fun crew this year.

No disrespect to last year. But a little disrespect. A little disrespect. They're really fun. And then when Isaac was like on his way, I was like, dude, can we forget here? Like there are so many like fun people here. Last year we did this trip.

We kind of battled the rain. And I'd say this year we're battling. Well, there's earth, wind and fire. We've struggled with rain. Never mind. I love that you... I was so confident. It sounded so good in my head before I said it.

Consistently from the very beginning of the podcast. You've been very confident in starting sentences. I know. how you be quick you know you just gotta figure it out as you go find it halfway through anyway this year i was just gonna say it's the wind it's big time wind celia actually just got done referring to the outdoors as a stormy gale stormy gale because yeah she's like a real big stormy gale out stormy gale yeah she's reading some old civil war history novels or something. I don't know. But it's been very windy, but it hasn't stopped the vibes and the fun. And today we're trying to record this podcast ASAP as possible because we got a nice day today.

So it's going to be fun. We got ghosties from all over. We've made friends from all over. I feel like every day there's been a new, like the first morning here, these women come up the stairs. And I got an icon to act with them right away. And they're like apologizing. I thought maybe they own the house or whatever. And these women come up and they're like, when you said women, I was like, women, I mean, we have, we have girls here. I mean, you guys are women, but like, I don't know. These were women. These were like

women. Imagine women. I'm talking 50, 60 years old. They were women. Um, women imagine women i'm talking 50 60 years old they were women um you don't say oh there's a girl yeah no old ladies right like yeah what what's the age is it 40 50 i think it's like how much okay um they came up and they're like apologizing and they're like i'm so sorry our uh car is caught in a sand drift. Can we stop? They came into our house. Like that's insane. Like, and luckily it wasn't for us because we're very kind and welcoming normal people.

But like, what if we were from Texas or something? We would have shot them. Like it was insane. what if we were from Texas or something? We would have shot them. It's insane. We rented this house out, and they're like, we'll just drive in or walk in and see what happens. I will say this house,

there's no good front door, so I don't know how, there's no ringing or knocking. I think you have to just walk to the second floor to get someone's attention. Yeah. But they were visually apologetic,

so at least, I was like, don't shoot. They were showing their hands right away. We're good. Not a threat. We're women. I know Brooks and Kosh were both, like, ready to go. I saw the hand was on their hips.

I don't know what was in there. But, yeah, like, hey, our car is caught in some sand. Can we have some people come help us? And so a bunch of us went out there. Jesse, who's here on the trip with us, just went to town. Just like a dog in the sand, just started digging, just dug out basically the whole car itself.

Yeah, we posted our Instagram story, and Jesse's friends with Tymon through cousins, right? Or something like that? Tymon's cousins? Doesn't matter. It's close enough. Jesse and Tymon know each other.

So there's Earth, Wind, Jesse, Fire. And Tymon commented on the Instagram story. Of courseesse's getting right in there getting in the action and he was and we got it out for him and it was really fun and along the way you know i was i was plugging the podcast for us don't worry yeah i went back to our house to get like a little kitty shovel to help the diggers and i come back and five six women were just bent over laughing at whatever you were saying oh yeah like you were charming well i'm supposed to be performing this weekend and i'm here so i was like well let me do some stuff i was like anybody used a bidet and i just did like a five minute set okay no i was like this is a great way for you guys to meet men i see

what you're doing like oh yeah go, oh yeah. But they were great. And you know, we get their car unstuck. We go back to our house, whatever. And then five minutes later, they reenter the house one more time, just with bags of what looks like groceries. Yeah. And gallons of, yeah. What else? Gallons of like lemonade and sweet tea. Yes. Sandwiches. Pre-made sandwiches. Oh yeah. I was sitting next to Cel like lemonade and sweet tea and sandwiches. Yes, pre-made sandwiches. I was sitting next to Celia. That's how you break into a house. Bring a bunch of food with you and you're just fine.

Who are you? I've got sweet tea! It's fun! Great, come on in! I was sitting next to Celia who she had seen us get the car unstuck, but they had told us personally, hey, we're leaving today, so we're going to bring you some of our, you know. And Siri's like, I can't believe they went and bought groceries for you guys.

I don't know if that deserves a grocery run. AAA is like $75 max. Yeah. I know. I wish they wouldn't have left. Like, I wish that was like their first day and they were just getting there, got stuck in the sand,

because we could have had a good time like hanging out with those old ladies. Yeah was old ladies sorry they're not that old middle ladies middle and didn't you you invited us to a different neighbor's like house or something oh like yeah you're talking about from the beach yeah yeah on the beach yesterday there were these guys that came up and like can we borrow or can we use your volleyball nets we're like sure we get to know them and they're here for this guy's wedding on Thursday. And I'm like, sweet, dude, we'll come to your wedding if you want us to. And he's like, maybe. I'm going to try to see him again this week and follow up. Yeah. He's from St. Louis. So I don't know if I want to go to St. Louis wedding, but no, I'm just kidding.

That was funny last night. Now we're just going all over the place. But last night we're at Lamberts and you made our waiter try and guess where we're from. And he guessed Missouri. And everyone's like, whoa. Whoa, for me? He guessed for me. Yeah, for you. And he's like, what? And like, oh, he just hates Missouri.

Yeah. Anyway, got to try to somewhat stick in chronological order. So if you're listening to this, we are on day three of four of the trip. So there's still plenty of fun left to be had. But we've also made some memories. I feel like we've also made some memories before a lot of these people got here because we have some help yeah and had some fun and um what did i write down stud helpers we got brother-in-law brooks being the chef we got brother-in-law brooks justin we got jensen that were all here beforehand

and yeah we had a fun time we made some good inside jokes right away um i wrote down uh nibblers oh yeah uh yeah so we made it in the zax piece before okay couple zax anybody know about the nibblers you do creech knows okay yeah so we go and play pickleball and we're just yelling tuesday the entire time at pickleball dying laughing at that oh and like while we were playing pickleball we found a new uh tactic for distracting people new life hack pretending like you falling into the kitchen the entire time um but then afterwards we're like let's get some zaxby's on the way home we go through there and you know it's like classic like group dynamics where you're all trying to order through the drive-thru window or whatever and jake goes okay i'll just take three nibblers.

And I'm like, that's not a thing. You're messing with me right now. He's like, no, it really is. I could not find them on the menu. Say nibblers. Say nibblers, dude. Please say nibblers. Say you want nibblers.

This is like, I've told this story on the podcast before. Back in the day when my sister was real dumb and weird and she would order a bacon cheeseburger with no bacon and my dad would just order a cheeseburger. He's like, order what I want. Order a bacon cheeseburger with no bacon. my dad would just order a cheeseburger she'd order what i want yeah order a bacon cheeseburger no bacon that was me i was like oh just get the nibblers what yeah how hard is that to understand and then we're having a real good time with that word and i think i i'll i might have made jensen spit out his drink when i told him to free the nibblers yeah we had a good time there and happy pappy was another just random uh inside joke yeah we saw Amanda and Hannah at Happy Pappy.

And we did not hang out with them very long because the line was really long. We're like, we're not going to go here. There's a coffee shop. Brad has been referring to himself as Happy Pappy. Yeah, I'm no longer Big Daddy. I'm Happy Pappy. Yeah, that was fun. We went to a diner, a real old school diner, which was fun we uh we went to a diner a real old school diner which was fun yeah um got the

african-american waiter's name wrong multiple times um that was too bad he kept saying tavares and jensen kept being like okay javares he's like you're so you're saying tavares or javares he's like tavares he's like javares got it okay like, Javares. Got it. Cool, cool. So that was fun. Yeah, it was a good start. It was just all around. I felt like this year compared to last year has been way less stressful. Right?

Yeah. I feel like we kind of know what we're doing this year. And we got to stay at a house a quarter mile down the road rather than last year we were like an hour away in some piece of crap house remember that last yeah that was not good that place was something else so just a piece of crap just a piece of work um but yeah it's been fun and also it's just so nice that you've stayed at this house before so i know exactly what we're getting into yeah um so something else i wrote down from the very beginning you know people are starting to arrive the day is finally here.

And so we've got a little check-in station. They're getting goodie bags. They're getting their towels. Who knows what was in there? They're getting their MacBook. Oh, I was supposed to say that. You know, they're getting their stuff. And we have like Justin and Jensen.

Can you imagine? Someday. Yeah, someday, someday. Justin and, yeah, Jensen are checking everyone in and i caught one exchange which was amazing i forget who it was with but you know so like hey welcome what's your name okay shirt size got it and she you know whoever the the the girl whoever the little girl was asking was like what room am i in and our rooms was it you okay so our rooms are based off of like ghosty terminology.

Segments, yeah. Like, there might be a room called voice memos or blanks of the week or whatever. And so Amanda Hutzel's like, what room am I in? And Jensen's like, ask the girls. And she's like, okay, well. Okay, where are they? Which ones?

She's like, sorry, maybe you didn't. You mean the women? A couple doors down, ask the women? Yeah. She's being so nice. Like, maybe you didn't hear me. Like, sorry, maybe you didn't... You mean the women? A couple doors down, ask the women? Yeah. She's being so nice. Like, maybe you didn't hear me. Like, sorry, what room am I in? And then you adjust it.

Ask the girls. Ask the girls. Figure it out. Oh, yeah, he was talking about figure it out. Figure it out. Oh, yeah, that was another little inside joke. Scott gave us a ride to the airport, and he's saying he has a baby just a few weeks older than Henry.

He said he got mad at him recently. His name is Banks. He's like, yeah, the other day I was getting frustrated with Banks. I just go, Banks, figure it out. That's what we've been saying, figure it out a lot lately. Just screaming at a six-week-old. Dude, we did this earlier. Figure it out.

You love milk. That's going to help, yeah. Do it milk it's gonna help yeah do it that's funny ask the girl yeah ask the girl it was like a who's on first right of of gulf shores yeah that's amazing uh yeah i thought the first night was so fun so yeah there's 30 guests here for the first session and i think 22 of you guys flew in and so uh the people that drove all got here a little bit earlier not gonna point any fingers but there were two people that decided to take a little bit of a later flight and so um I'm just kidding um but not kidding because it's true but um so like we were hanging out it was a good time we made a joke about uh Jason being the janitor beforehand wrote that down it was a very fun time just like eight of us it was like an introduction to the weekend we're playing quiplash and i think we'd already been playing and then jason and elena show up

and elena makes a comment like oh you're playing quiplash oh jason cleans up in this game which i just thought i i yeah we were getting the brooms out all any any janitor joke you could think of we made it. Fabuloso, you know, all the different stuff. Yeah, and I didn't say this at the time, Elena, but I thought that was so sweet as a wife to be, like, so proud of your husband. Like, he's so good at this game. Like, just, I don't know, it was bravadocious.

And he was. And he cleaned up. Yeah, he was good. He was good at it. And you lost. He lost every game. But you competed, brother. So, yeah, I mean, it was a fun time with the however many 12

of us total that were uh before the people flying in came we were having a good time but once everyone came in first of all they took a massive shuttle with a bus driver rita i believe is her name this woman sounds infamous like people are like rita was the best and they used to see this huge shuttle come down the road we're like bumping. And all of a sudden you guys got out and it was like the vibes. I mean, the vibes were up already, but it was like a nice simmer of up, you know, like it was like, this is, this is nice. But then all of a sudden it's like, it is boiling in here. Vibes are up. Like it was so much fun, so much energy, all these people. Uh, and then that first night we did those intros, all we did was say, say your name, where you're from and anything else you want to

tell us about yourself. Good stuff in there. Uh, I think what glides thing, uh, beans from Steven's, uh, served him at Starbucks, served him beans. Yeah. That's a great one. But like he, he didn't say that. And people were like, Oh, that's kind of cool. It was like, beans served me coffee, and everyone was like, oh! Like immediately, everyone was so excited about everything. Oh, it was so fun. I was like, this is going to be such a great trip. So it started off really hot with all that stuff, and yeah, it's just been fun ever since. This year, you might remember from last year's trip, we did rubber bands. That was

the currency. You're competing all week to see who can have the most rubber bands. There's treasure. You might get some rewards that never come true. Who knows if we're good for it, you know? Maybe these AirPods don't work. Maybe we won't say your name in a Gene Schwartz video. No, but this year, we're doing like very miniature like poker chips. And I use the word poker because there has been a lot of wagering happening this week. We're going to be like, hey, do you want to come back next year? You'll be like, well, I would, but I don't have any money because I got addicted to gambling. We are really introducing it to people here. Teach them how odds work.

They're like, what's a parlay? I was like, let me tell you. This is fun times. Yeah, we hoped this trip would change their lives, but we didn't necessarily like determine how. Yeah. But I think maybe my highlight of the trip so far was just impromptu, not planned.

I think only half the people even knew it was happening. So we had been hanging in the pool, and I think for two hours, we get out. And I think it started with Jesse making the comment. It just goes, what do I have to do to get some chips? And that's all it took. And then Brad and I start scheming. We start looking around. What do we have?

We got a big ocean, which I think up to this point, no one had really even been in the ocean. Yeah, it's been like double red flags, like do not go in the ocean. It's dangerous to go too far out, all that stuff. One thing leads to another. And we're like like All right, maybe we could figure something out Maybe there's something like we can do where if you run to the ocean and back in a certain amount of time We can get ships that starts to steamroll now. We're going down the boardwalk now. We're drawing a line in the sand Now we're determining an over-under now. We're determining bonus points, okay?

Yeah, you go down and back and under 60 seconds, you get some points. Good job. Three chips. Three chips your way. If you fully submerge, throw a couple extra your way. You pick up a seashell bigger than a dime, throw a couple extra your way. We're layering it on. Then there was a bonus time if you could do it under 45 seconds. So this is all starting to happen. All of a sudden, yeah, a crowd forms. A crowd forms, yes. Like biblical proportions. Yeah, it just got to be so electric because then we're determining people's times. People are starting to bet on the people that they've only known for 24 hours. And we're determining odds in real time. And we're pitting two people against each other. It got very tricky to keep track of everything that was going on. Yeah.

And the most electric moment. Well, there were just so many fun moments. Hannah Creech, shout out to you. She was just like, I think, the one little girl down there competing. But had plenty of female fandom supporting her. And so Hannah's like, I'll do anything for Chips. I'm going to beat my time. And so we offered it up to the ladies.

Like, all right, 39 seconds. Over, under. Do you think Hannah's going to beat her time? And every single person was like, I want the under. I want the under. And so Hannah's like, oh, my gosh. This is a lot of pressure. And that was really fun to see.

And she takes off. Everyone's going crazy for her. She falls down. Fully falls down. Still beat her time. Pretty close to the end. Yeah. It's like she's got it. She just She falls down, fully falls down. Still beat her time. Like, pretty close to the end. Yeah. It's like she's got it.

She just has to run to the finish line, and she wipes out pretty hard. Still beat her time. Yeah. And then the final heat of the night, we had two guys, the fastest, the thoroughbreds. Yeah. We had Noah and Samuel Carmel, and we're like, all right, we're going to pit these two against each other. They have to basically break the world record, as far as we know. No one else has done this.

And we got different parlays. Yeah, I think both of them are going to break it. There's a lot of money on the line, a lot of chips on the line here. They're all head-to-head, or like some people were betting, yeah, one versus another. Just one. They go down. Time's looking good. They make it to the water.

They're coming back. It's looking like it's going to be no problem. They make it to the end. Nobody go down. Time's looking good. They make it to the water. They're coming back. It's looking like it's going to be no problem. They make it to the end. Nobody falls down. They beat the world record by three seconds. I'm looking at my phone. They did it. They did it.

Not even close. They made it. By a mile. Everyone's like, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're rich. We're rich. And then Brad goes, hold on, hold on, hold on. He goes, Samuel, do you have a seashell?

Yeah. And he drops to his knees. No. I forgot the seashell. It was like out of a movie. And then everybody lost money except Alvaro. He knew he'd been watching. Dude, your guys' dynamic is so funny because you all were rooting for each other in bank last night, and I love the way you scream at each other. Yeah. Well, Alvaro and I have had some fun times already.

We also, as we were driving to the cruise last night, Jensen had the idea of like, hey, let's try to guess everyone's cars that everyone drives in the van. And we're like guessing alvaro's car we're like i don't know a nissan altima uh toyota cam he's like no no like maybe a kia he's like i mean you're hitting the stereotypes but i'm like whoa what does that mean i didn't know like alvaro's peruvian moved here when he he was, whatever, 10, 12 years old. And yeah, and he lives in D.C. I was like, I didn't know there was a stereotype for that. Didn't think it was Kia either.

So yeah, Alvaro and I, we're having great times. You could say that for anything, though. I mean, that would be pretty fun. Just like, hey, can I get you some Parmesan cheese? Well, that is the stereotype. But no thanks, people. Yeah. Really big question. Um, let's talk about bank. Okay. Let's talk about bank. Bank them. I mean, Hannah. So Hannah Warner introduced to Hannah, did you have any idea that it was going to be

such a hit? Did you, I had literally no idea. I was just like, my family plays this game. It's kind of fun. I think it's fun. Yeah. like it basically yeah it's like this kind of like a simpler version of craps basically for and you can like the longer you stay in the more points you potentially get but anytime somebody rolls a seven you lose all your points and so i coined the catchphrase daddy doesn't bank bank is basically the way of preserving your money. I want guaranteed money. Even though the money could go up, I'm going to go and get out now. Okay, the pot's at 100, bank.

I get 100 for that. And everyone that banks then can take it out and get it, whatever. Earth, wind, fire, bank. Yeah, but if you roll doubles, the pot goes from 100 to 200 doubles, and it gets electric when you get the doubles going, baby. And so Daddy doesn't bank. I think you and I both got to 4,000 one time. So I had been outside.

I walk in, and you're like, Jake, you would love this game. Get in here. It's called Bank. You explain it. I was like, okay, great, let's do it. And the very first round, first time I've ever played this game, just like, well, there's a lot of doubles. I guess doubles happen more than you think.

Turns out they don't. This is like the miracle round. And so it's've ever played this game, just like, well, there's a lot of doubles. I guess doubles happen more than you think. Turns out they don't. This is like the miracle round. And so it's getting up 1,000, 2,000. Another double's 4,000. And I was like, okay, that's probably good. I'll bank. No one's gotten to like above 1,000 since then. I just thought, this is how it is.

You just get 4,000 every time. And I've just been chasing it ever since. How did I get 4,000? Noah was like, I think I had a dream about bank last night. We were just having fun, man. Speaking of fun, I'm really excited for what, maybe if you were sitting at our table last night, you got a glimpse of the future fun that Session 2 is going to have.

Brad kind of concocted a little something yes with our 12 year old waiter last night yeah he was a boy yeah so essentially this guy was going around and he was so fun the whole restaurant was like pretty like we're pretty dead when we were there and so he had plenty of time to hang out with us and got to know who we were and why we were there and stuff and uh i think you asked like can you guess where everyone's from or whatever so he's going around guessing states of everybody and it's pretty funny because he's i mean how hard is that anyway like look at i think he looked at jessica and was like uh you're from hawaii you know he's like no missouri but close um and uh so i was like okay are you gonna be here when we come back with session two and he's like yeah no, Missouri, but close. And so I was like, okay, are you going to be here when we come back with session two?

And he's like, yeah, I'm working that night. And so I said, okay, we're going to have like a code, and I'm going to ask you all these questions about people, and you're going to figure out how to like know the right answer every time. And so he's so pumped about it, dude. Also, I'm worried he's not going to get it right. Yeah, so Brad had a good idea. It was like, we should make it kind of like a riddle.

If you've ever played like Black Magic or Green Glass Door, these types of riddles where there's a certain trigger that you know that something is happening after it. And so Brad goes, we're going to do double letters. That's the trigger. He comes over and explains it and explains it once, explains it twice, gives a few examples. This dude's still not getting it.

And like, he is really having trouble. Like, I don't know if he knows how to spell the word tanner or green. Yeah. He did. He was like, oh, dude, sorry, I messed up. I forgot how to spell green. And I was like, Alabama, man, okay. Yeah.

For anybody else. But, no, we kept doing more and more and more practice rounds. But, like, the eighth one, he got it. So we'll see. So if you're saying for the whole week, play along. We're going to pretend like we're going to be like, okay, what's this guy's profession? Or, you know, where is this person from? I think people are going to be just shocked.

They're going to be wowed. Yeah. That's fun. We haven't talked about the cruise boat yet. Cruise boat. Turns out it's a dolphin cruise. I had no idea. Yeah, I booked it, and I thought the dolphin, it was called like Sunny Lady Dolphin Cruises,

and I was like, okay. Sunny Lady Dolphin. Yeah, the name of the boat is Sunny Lady Dolphin. And then they're like, all right, we're going to get out on the water soon. We're going to go see some dolphins. I was like, sweet. And did we ever see those dolphins? Saw a lot of dolphins.

Calves? Calves? That's the... Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. And did we ever see those dolphins? Saw a lot of dolphins. Calves? Calves. That's the, okay. Oh yeah. No, not like cows. Oh, baby dolphins. I got, whoever was at the back of the boat knew, I was getting so excited because they said, hey, get some Cheetos ready. We're going to feed the seagulls. And I was getting so excited to see, I kept calling it seagulls and i was getting so excited to see i kept calling seagull trick shots i was like this could be awesome and then they just dangled the carrot i mean we made these seagulls fly after us for 15 miles oh so long an hour yeah i mean i was i was like these guys are getting exhausted i did not enjoy them just being right by my boat i was like can we get that part over with please i was i was begging to feed the seagulls, and it took forever. When we finally did, it was pretty electric. They're very good.

They do this every night, I think, on the dolphin cruise. Very good at Cheetos. How did you do with the seagulls? I did okay. Yeah, I think I'm just realizing more and more, I'm just scared of animals. Especially ones like a bird. They're huge. They would take me out,

man. Uh, well they showed some example of like, Hey, if you put it in your mouth and stick your mouth up, it'll like take it. And Kosh or somebody was like, Brad, you have to do that. I was like, no way. And you know, where will I ever do that? Gulf shores, Gulf shores. Uh, and, uh, but yeah, I, I was pressured to do it and I said, I'm not going to stand down. I'm going to do it. And so I held it out there and I chickened out twice. I just dropped them.

And then the, finally the third time I held it there and they took it and I hated it. I hated every part of it. But the little captain gave me a little post-it note badge that said most brave number one. So I was like, that was was nice that was worth it meanwhile uh jesse is like quietly just on his own feeding them out of his mouth no problem yeah easy so yeah dolphin cruise is fun there was i mean a lot of dolphins and they started surfing with us sometimes that was really fun or whatever like they were with the waves and so they would fly up. Okay,

this is probably a stupid question, but how much do you think it really matters how much we cheer for them? Because they'd be like, you got to cheer them on, cheer them on, like that helps it.

And I bought it. I was like, come on guys. I have no idea. You think it really matters? This is like when you go to the Chiefs game and they lose

and you feel like you could have done more. I do! Okay, that's real. That's real. That's different. Those are humans. I understand humans. What do you think? I know, Amanda, you were a dolphin person.

Dolphin instructor, yep. You did dolphins. It doesn't matter how loud you are, they just like the waves. Okay. Wow. Fair enough. It's a wake-up call.

Yeah, he's trying to get the energy up. Because I think Glide was like joking around like, hey, shh. And he kind of like got up and said, hey, what are we quieting down for? The dolphins need to hear it. But that was fun. Also, speaking of the dolphin instructor,

we did a little talent show one night, and Amanda Hutzel gets up here, and just out of nowhere, from the depths of her body, is doing dolphin echolocation. And I imagine it's spot on. I have nothing to compare it to, but I think it was really accurate. Yeah, I don't even know how.

Try it. I just did, and it did not go well. Something like that? Yeah, maybe. The people want to know. I can hear them. Can you do it just in the microphone real quick for the listeners? So I've just, we... Let's go, man.

I'm sure the people listening who haven't heard it want to know what echolocation sounds like. Yeah! I love it. Amanda, when she came on the strip, she's like, I'll probably do that dolphin thing once, maybe twice. She's definitely going to do it at least like three more times before this is over. Well, I remember it being weird because we asked everyone like hey, what's your shirt size?

Where you when's your flight land? Like do you have any allergies and in the hour she said no allergies But I'd like to do the location thing like five or six times. I would like to knock that out. So yeah, we're getting to do it But yeah, Dolphic Rose is fine. Brandon also last night I was near him and he wanted to do the cheeto by hand thing And so he's like hey Hey get this on video. And there's not enough storage in the world to wait for Brandon to get to Segal to take one out of his hand.

Because they did not like Brandon. He was begging to get rid of it. Why do you think that is? What happened? I think there was a little supply and demand issue. We had some kids near us who just had, like, an unlimited supply. And that was just easier. You've seen Brandon. Yeah. So I think that's part of it oh yeah yeah no i don't know brandon you have any theories no nope just thanks you'd fit right in with time and just like no i don't

have anything to say no thanks no thanks um something else i wrote down uh elena Morris and I, we had a conversation that I think you would really enjoy. She brought it up. She was like, there are certain things people do that I just think are instantly just like classy and I respect them. So she was saying like people here who are like drinking tea, like loose leaf tea. She's like, that's like, I just like immediately like have more respect for you. Right, right. Good for you. You can hold your own a little bit better

than the coffee drinkers of the world. I forget, what were your other examples? Or you could think of some too. Classy. People who read a lot. People who read a lot. 100%. Yeah, if you read and drink tea.

Yeah. People who run. Yeah, I said people who just wake up early in general. They don't have to do anything. Yes. Just wake up early. Just be there early. Yeah, I'm trying to just like wake up early in general. They don't have to do anything. Yes. Just wake up early. Just be there early. Yeah, I'm trying to think.

Those are good answers. People who make their bed. Okay. I know that's possible. Yeah. I know I could do that. But the fact that you do it every day. Right.

I think you're classy. People who fly first class. People who wear like bow ties and stuff you know classy classy people who dance people who actually yeah Oh classy dance right like if you're like yeah dancing and it's not fun, like that's a classy thing. What about like in general, like people who have competitively swam? Is that classy? I don't, I think so.

No? It could be free. Okay. I'm thinking if you have it upstairs of your house. Upstairs of your house? Whoa. Everything else is like behavior-based. You're like, if they have like a ton of money, that's really neat.

Do you want to introduce the little challenge we're going to do during this podcast recording? Oh my gosh, yes. Yeah, let's do it now. So yeah, we have a challenge for you guys. It's going to be, you're going to be in teams of your floors. So first floor is on a team, second floor, third floor. And yeah, we're going to do it during the podcast. Basically the idea is maybe just divide up into your teams now. Well, whatever. We're

going to figure it out all on the go. The idea is it's called DoorDash. And whoever can, whatever floor can DoorDash something to this house first wins 15 chips each. Go. Go. Go. So anyway. We'll just keep podcasting. I mean, we're classy.

Oh, yeah, we talked about that. What's that? Yes. It's all about getting your item here. Just drove to Walgreens. We've had this idea. We had this idea last year, and we never did it.

Yeah. This is so fun already. I'm glad. It's going to have to be a tradition. So last night, we're all sitting around the pool. Great day at the beach, just hanging out. Brandon, how did it come up last night, we're all sitting around the pool. Great day at the beach, just hanging out. And Brandon, how did it come up last night, the eating competition in the pool? Was it just my idea?

Okay. People chanting. A lot of energy in the room. So I just said, like, hey, Brandon, how many chips would it take you to eat an entire line? You said 25? I was like, I'm not doing 25. That's too many. And he's like, wait, wait. you to eat an entire lime? You said 25? I was like, I'm not doing 25. That's too many. And he's like, wait, wait. You mean like the entire lime, like the outside of it and everything?

I was like, all of it, the entire lime. And he's like, I'll do it for 15. And then all of a sudden people were like, I'll do it for 15. I'll do it for 15. All of a sudden I think there was like 10 people just eating an entire lime all together, and they all dominated except jason in the back dude jason almost ralphed in the pool jason was so close to just like like struggling through this thing jake put you put it on the instagram story but i mean it was so entertaining i i think i need

to analyze why i enjoy watching people suffer so much for a competition. I'm orchestrating these kind of miserable scenarios for people, and it just is so funny to me. I think immediately I was dying laughing because Jesse is eating his just like a peach on his porch. Just the way he was holding it. It looked like he did it every day. It looked like Bugs Bunny or something. Just chomping on a lime.

It was so funny. And everyone had different complaints. Like some people, like Brandon was like, the flavor's gone. Now it's just gross. Some people were like, it's so acidic. Some people were like, it's so sour. Right. So that was fun.

I put it on the Instagram story, but it said every hour something happens that I've never seen before. Yeah, like how did this come about? Because I told Lisa, I was like, go inside, grab a few more limes for the people here, and tell people if they want to earn chips, come eat a lime. All of a sudden, they came in droves. Brooks goes to make key lime pie. He's like, all right. I know.

We need to tell them, actually. No more limes left. All right. Any updates? Anybody? What's that? Yours is shopping. Okay.

Hannah Creech. Hannah, what's the E is shopping okay hannah creech hannah what's the eta on your guy it's probably like 10 minutes okay hannah is so committal i like how much committed the commitment she always says to everything she's always just like i don't know like 10 minutes or whatever i actually had a really funny conversation with Hannah last night. I don't remember how it exactly came up, but she just says funny things sometimes. And we were talking about birds. And she's like, I think it was right after the pigeons thing. She's like, you're not really a bird person.

I was like, no. She's like, we're a bird family. I was like, what does that mean? She's like, I mean, like we notice birds. And I was like, okay. We see birds. We notice birds. Yeah, you're just driving by like, pigeon, there it is. We notice birds.

We're a bird noticing family. So I rode with Hannah. I was in her car to Lamberts Head Back yesterday. And you want to talk about the safest drive I've ever been with? She's walked in at 10 and 2 the whole time. Really? Never went away from it. It was awesome.

I was mesmerized by it. Yeah. Yeah. That's perfect. She was locked in. Hands-free driving. I did the Spotify. She didn't touch it.

It was great. It's kind of fun. We're having like a little mini podcast with just Hannah right now. And I'll say this. Hannah was one of maybe three people on this trip that I did not know anything about. Never heard the name. Couldn't have picked her out of a lineup. Hannah Creech, I don't know anything about her.

When she got here, I was like, are you from the Northeast? She's like, North Carolina. I was like, nope. Was thinking of somebody else. And it's been a delight to get to know you, Hannah. It's been so fun. I have a new friend named Hannah, and it's awesome. Hannah Creech.

She's pretty good on the sandbags. Cornhole. Earth-wending sandbags. A little bag of sands. I kept calling her Hannah Clutch. Pickleball player. Bring it home. Bring it home, Hannah.

She was down 10 to nothing against Brad and I, but it's back to her serve. Her partner, Ashley's serve, he's like, all right, Ashley, take us home. We're down 10-0. Take us home.

Take us home. That's what you said to her when you got in the car at Lambert's. All right, Hannah, take us home. Take us home. All right, Brandon? Apparently, one of the signs of being classy is being on the second floor. We've got an extra $30 in cash for when he gets here.

Sheesh. Does he know that? No, I'm not. Don't tell him. We'll be a fun surprise. Yeah, yeah. They said they have an extra $30 in cash when he gets here. Do you have an ETA?

He's on his way. He left McDonald's. Okay. Yeah, right. Is there ever like a thing where they're like, they're messing with me? You know, a hash brown for $30? Like, can they cancel?

Yeah. Risk case scenario, you get to split a donut ten ways. That's fun. All right. That's about all I have written. I have one more thing written down. Yeah, I'll just tell this real quick. Jensen.

He's a delight. Everyone loves him. Are you guys sleeping toes to toes? Because your beds are touching. Right. And we have touched toes a few times. I woke up one time because I touched his foot. I was like, that was, I'm sorry, man.

Earth, wind, and fire i in fire bags um so it's the last night before the trip i'm in kansas city and rachel and i are like not stressing but just like trying to figure out like we got to pack up all this podcast gear i'm packing like pig wall paddles you know we're gonna be gone a week rachel's going to a wedding before this like we're trying to fit everything we need in two checked bags just like i don't know how we're gonna get're trying to fit everything we need in two checked bags. Just like, I don't know how we're going to get all this to fit. This is so much. I can't find the scale. I'm trying to use my arms. This feels about 50 from what I know. Literally in the middle of us stressing

about this, you texted me and said, hey, are you guys checking a bag? Are we checking a bag? We're leaving for eight days. I was like, oh, Jake's annoyed by this text. Oh, no, I wasn't annoyed. I was just shocked that you would think I maybe wouldn't check a bag for this. I said, dude, we're gone eight days and I'm bringing a podcast with me. Yeah. Tyler just got home from, or just got back from Puerto Rico

for five days or whatever and is now here for five, six days, however long it is, and brought a backpack with him. He told me that with his camera gear. Yeah. So it could be done. That's what I was like.

But then because we, we checked bags, I checked bags. We, I mean, yes, you did. I checked both my bags and I was hands free the entire trip.

And I just kept, I kept like waving at Jake, like Bradway. Yeah. Wave with your hands or use like handrails both at the same time. Sorry, bag for you right now. Like I'm swinging on, on like nice chairs here. Yeah. Waved at the pilots with both hands or use handrails both at the same time. Sorry, I'm back for you right now.

Hey, you guys think you'll check it back? Yeah. Yeah, two of them to the brim. We have to, yeah. And then the other currently trending, there's so much going on right now.

It's kind of fun. Is in the middle of me slamming. Well, I'd already eaten an entire Caesar salad. Good for me. And then at the diner eating chicken and waffles. In the middle of that, Rachel texts me like, how's the first day going? Have you done your run? And this is at 830 at night.

And I was like, oh, man, how am I so dumb? I said it last week on the podcast. I have a problem. I can't remember to do my run. And so on a full stomach of chicken and waffles, I had to do my run at like 10 p.m. a night in the darkness of Gulf Shores. But Justin and I have ran like three miles together this week. It's been really fun.

Yeah. Gossi's gotten mixed. Sarah Lavelle learned that. Shout out, Sarah. She's done the mile every single day. Amazing. Which is really fun. You done it today yet?

to start arriving just real quick because I think people are gonna die what about cemeteries like what's the deal what about cemeteries what about cemeteries

what about cemeteries I thought about cemeteries I'm very curious about the business model of a cemetery because I'm sure you buy the land you lease it out

to like the cemetery company to like dig up and then after that you can't sell the land that who's gonna buy yeah a cemetery because there's no money to be made off of it so like how or can you who's who's to say because of oh somebody i hear a noise here we go who's it gonna be come on vinroy come on Vin Roy come on Gavin yeah we'll get back to it we'll get back to some injuries yeah I've always wondered that

though because if you one-time transaction it's Isaac we ruin the good surprise on you and we're just like giving Isaac the middle finger screw you man all you gotta do is like well this is too dark baby but outlast one generation like just don't bury any more people for like a generation and then you just take the cemetery stones out no one knows the difference you know like because it's like okay yeah my dad is buried there. But then once I die, maybe it's like, well, I don't know where he's like. Yeah. So there's like money to be made on cemeteries every like a hundred years or so.

It's an investment. Yeah. It's a generational investment. Yeah. It's like multi-generational passed it down kind of thing. That's what's the deal with cemeteries. What's the deal? What's going on with cemeteries?

Are you worried that there's not going to be enough? I actually think there's too many. There's too many. There's too many. Too many. Okay. Yeah, but how do you get rid of them? Yeah, it's kind of permanent once you're there, it seems like. Double-decker.

Yeah. The big cities do it. They go up. They make skyscrapers for everything else, yeah. Or down. Or cremation. Wait, that is a good point. Theoretically, will we ever run out of room due to cemeteries?

Surely not. Surely. You got to build up. Yeah, you got to go up. Always be going vertical. My grandpa that died in December had his plot picked out in 1992. Wow. The year I was born.

Wow. Go ahead. I should look into that. Say something about that. Great. Awesome. Okay. Say something about that. Great. Awesome. Okay. That's really cool.

All right. Who else got something to talk about? Vinroy? Go ahead, Jessica. Yeah, get in there. Get in there. Jessica from California. Are we talking about stuff that we're very knowledgeable about?

Anything. Or unknowledgeable. Anything Broadway or Disney history, specifically like Disney movies or Disneyland. Let's talk about like what do you – no, no, no. You stay there. What are you – You can have a seat if that's more comfortable. Give me some of your favorites from that.

Let's start with old Disney. What do you love? How old are we talking? Are we talking like the Mickey Mouse? Like 50s. Which is what? Like Snow White? Like Sleeping Beauty. No, Snow White Like Snow White? Like Sleeping Beauty.

No, Snow White was 1937? Oh, wow. Okay. I'm telling you. Yeah, yeah. I'm good with dates. Also, this is our Spelling Bee champ. We did Spelling Bee.

Yeah. This is her. Finally got redemption. What was the winning word? Lieutenant. Lieutenant. And someone said that I couldn't do it just because I was kind of sitting there. But I have to see it.

I had to close my eyes. That's how I am, too. She does, like, Queen's Gambit stuff. She sees it on the ceiling. Yeah. I could see it when I closed my eyes because we didn't have anything to write it up. Okay, but you specifically like the older Disney movies? Well, I know a lot about them.

Okay. Yeah. Give us a fun fact about Sleeping Beauty. The music was written by George Bruns. It was based off of Tchaikovsky Sleeping Beauty. Like the ballet. I love the soundtrack and the music.

Give us a fun fact about Snow White. I think it was their first Technicolor film. Disney's first Technicolor film. Kati's ready to go. The newer stuff I don't know as much about, but the older stuff I know. What do you get so...

I'll just say my opinion about old Disney movies is that they are so much better soundtrack. The music, the original scores and stuff are incredible. Right? I think it stopped... My favorite Disney composer slash composer is Alan Menken. He did the golden age of Disney, so it started with Little Mermaid onward to like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, all

those ushered in the 90s. Yeah, yeah. Golden era. Yeah. Is it well known that that, or like people recognize that as a golden era of Disney? I don't know if that was just because I have like, I've romanticized it because that's when I was watching. So I was like, those seem like really good ones, but I don't know.

I think all of us, like the 90s kids had like all the VHSs and stuff. Do you remember the cups that you could get at like McDonald's or Burger King or whatever? They were so cool. You could collect it like Lion King, Aladdin, what did we have? Jungle Book. Oh we got one. Here comes somebody.

They're like staring at the wall. Yeah! Second floor! Second floor! Oh man. We did this competition a couple nights ago, and Jake got ChapGPT to give everyone team names. And there was Wacky Walruses, and Jason just kept going, every time they did something great.

I was like, all right, who's our spelling bee delegate? Great. Second floor! Second floor! Second floor! Yes! Second floor! There it is! Second floor! Second floor! Let's make sure it's here. Let's make sure it's here.

Let's verify. Let's verify. Good. Bring them in. Gavin. Gavin. Gavin. Gavin! Gavin! Gavin! Gavin! Gavin! Gavin! So at this point, somebody tripped over an audio cable or power cord accidentally before Jake and Brad could, like, interview Gavin, the delivery driver.

So that part was unusable. So we'll just skip ahead to the next ghosties asking questions segment. But yeah, I just had to come on camera for no specific reason, just, like, wanted to tell you guys that face-to-face. You know, I just had to come on camera for no specific reason. Just like wanted to tell you guys that face to face, you know, I don't, I don't like being on camera or necessarily enjoy it. I'm in fact, I'm grateful that I don't have my own angle on the podcast. I wouldn't want that. Um, so yeah, just, just, just out of necessity face to face. Yeah. Enjoy the episode. All right. Let's hop back in and do just a few more. I think people asking questions and whatnot. Oh, big A. Go ahead.

Give us a stereotypical Peruvian question. Do you want a Peruvian question? Yeah. No. Whatever. Pollo sataro. Lomo sataro. I don't know.

I'm blanking out. You were so quick to come up to the mic. So the talent show that we did, was that last night? Two nights ago. It's been a long week, but it's been great. It's got me thinking, like, with our group, the Wacky Wall, which is... We're thinking, like, what are some talents that we have to do in a talent show? And the best thing, which actually won second place, was the Echo Location, which was great. Yeah, great.

But we came up with a lot of, like, talents that you cannot do in a talent show. Okay. Well, the one that I think of is for my wife. Like, she's pretty organized. Like, she's able to, like She's able to plan trips and road trips and looks at Google Maps and everything. She knew the exact street before we actually got here. She was like, these houses look familiar.

Never been here. Wow. And so I was like, what are some other talents that you have or your friends have that you cannot do in a talent show? It would just be like, yeah, so lame to do on a stage or whatever. Just the opposite, yeah, of like entertaining. I feel like I'm above average Googler.

Like you need me, I'll get it on the first try. Like you have a question, I can figure it out right away, you know. And sometimes it's even like Google will just give me the answer right up front don't even have to click on the link congrats thanks um whereas like katherine can't do that takes her three four tries i don't know if anything i would necessarily be good at but i think there's a lot just like that would not be fun to see on a stage just like, oh, I thought she was raising her hand. Okay, yes, you got something. The battery's dying. Battery's dying, battery's dying. I think I drive in the city a decent amount

and I think I'm above average at it. I am. What do you mean? Oh, I can slide in and out. My exit's in three quarters of a mile. I'm on the left lane of five lanes of traffic. No problem. No problem.

I would piggyback that. Parallel parking. I feel pretty confident in parallel parking. Yeah, I would do that on a stage. I would like to see it. You'd like to see it? Hey, come out front. I'll show you later on.

Play your cards right. I think Michaela has a talent for convincing a DoorDash order to get here. Maybe so. As soon as possible. Yeah. That's a really good question. I'm sorry I can't think of anything better. Anybody else have thoughts about what they answered?

Anybody else have an answer to the question? Yeah. I'm pretty sure my talent of crocheting potholders is pretty boring. Crocheting potholders? Like to stop there two and a half hours. Yeah. Done. Boom.

Like way faster than most, yeah. Brad, how about the talent of backing up a trailer? Backing up a trailer? I'm getting better at it, dude, okay? I'm getting better. I backed up a trailer recently and did all right, but still wouldn't put it in the talent show. The one that I thought of for myself

uh i don't know why i didn't mention it earlier but like me and samuel carmel can like run a game night like yeah really well like we we get the explanations of the games really like cohesive and everything game explaining that's a good talent that's a it's a special skill uh that's good i i know people are gonna laugh at this because you guys listen to the podcast and you know everything about our lives, but I'm pretty proud of how I built a fire. I've built it too big before and I was too proud of that one,

but like, yeah, I can build a fire in the fireplace. Catherine's always like, I just can't do it like you can. I'm like, you're right, baby. She like, for all you know, she was like, she knows exactly how to build a fire. Like Brad, you're so good.'m like, you're right, baby. She, like, for all you know, she was, like, she knows exactly how to build a fire. Like, Brad, you're so good.

It's so hard to do, like, lighting that lighter, like, pressing the button. So fun. It's a good question. Thanks, Jason. Yeah, thanks, Jason. Jason, I've been playing a lot of chess. Jason probably gives more deep track, like,

inside jokes, references to the podcast. Gosh, that's a tough sentence to say. He's just been track, like inside jokes, references to the podcast. Gosh, that's a tough sentence to say. Uh, he's just been referencing good little inside jokes from the podcast all week and I love it. Shout out Jason. Gosh. So, um, it's a, would you rather, would you rather rob a bank and nobody knows you did it? So you get away with it. No one knows you did it, but the only person who knows is you, or would you rather not rob a bank, but everybody in the world is convinced that you have, and there's no convincing them, but you're the only one who knows you did not rob the bank. Why would you not just rob the bank? Well, yeah, yeah. Is there a, is this a trick question?

You got, cause your break, you, you broke the law. Oh. Your conscience. I didn't think about that. Yeah, you sinner. I know. Yeah, both of us were like. Yeah, she got the WWJG. I like Catherine, Rachel, Bo, Hattie, your kids, they all think you robbed the bank, but you know you didn't.

There's no way you can convince them otherwise. That money's insured. I would definitely still rob the bank. And I would do it 100 times out of 100. Yeah, especially if no one knows. If Bo doesn't know, Bo don't know. He just thinks the furniture business is good, baby. Good ranchers is bad, you know? Is that typically a question that people ethically have trouble determining what to do?

Are they better than us? Everybody, if everyone thought that you were struggling like they used that you stole that that's too many people i don't yeah maybe it goes to show what types of people we are but i don't want people thinking bad things about me i'll just be bad myself i guess i don't know hey brandon hey are you brandon from brandon's coffee corner i am okay oh ceo if you could I guess. I don't know. Hey, Brandon. Hey. Are you Brandon from Brandon's Coffee Corner? I am. CEO. If you could domesticate any wild animal and train it as a pet, what would you choose? Bear.

I wouldn't go bear. Bear. I've got to go big like a wild cat. Tiger, cheetah, leopard. I think that would be really fun. Do you realize how fun it would be to nap with slash on a bear? That would be so cozy. You could literally like.

Where are you napping? My double-sized couch. Double-sized couch? Just on the floor, he's a big. Yeah, that's true. The bear is. You hear Minnesota accent.nesota just on the floor he's a big i would yeah big spin or little spin for bear big bear little bear depends on the day i think tuesday it would be a yeah i think uh no i think i'd be little i've never been little you know

i think that's what i want i want some I want somebody to make me feel little, you know? Yeah, that is nice. Yeah. Yeah. This is fun to think about regardless, like any animal, like if I just had like a falcon that like knew like to come up on my arm and he just like was on my shoulder, that would be really fun. I think any kind of like monkey, I mean, they're pretty smart anyway. That would be pretty fun. I imagine us holding hands. He's driving me around maybe. Yeah, I'm still fixated on the bear, how fun that would be.

Really? Take a walk with him down the road. Take him to the park. Play Frisbee with him. I feel like a bald eagle would be awesome to train. Why? Those things are so powerful. To have that on your side.

Yeah. I wouldn't need to call DoorDash. Retrieve stuff for us, yeah. That's a fun question. All right. So I asked a group chat of a couple buddies. It's like, give me some ideas. It's something to ask. Okay.

The only thing I got was, and I'll read it verbatim, ask them if they would climb a crane naked for a million dollars. And I think they're referring to, like, one of those big, like, city high construction cranes. Is it in the city? Yeah. Do I have a harness?

No. So there's a chance you could die? Yeah. Do I have a harness? No. So there's a chance you could die? Yeah. Yeah, and there's a chance you have nothing to protect you from dying. I'm not worried about the nudity as much as I am about the harness. Correct. But then again, if you're naked with that harness, it's not... It is a million dollars, though.

It's catching some stuff. That's true. Naked with the harness isn't great. Yeah's flossing you go chest harness i think uh i don't know yeah no the answer is no but but but i think it's maybe yes for a higher price million dollars is not enough for that what's your price i know that's what i'm trying to think of it'd be a lot of money it'd be a lot of money like a hundred million dollars is not enough for that deal. What's your price? I know. That's what I'm trying to think of. It'd be a lot of money. It'd be a lot of money. Like $100 million or $500 million.

If you rob the bank, then you don't have to climb the crane. That's right. Yeah, we robbed a bank. Oh, that's fun. 50 chips I do right now. That's what I'm saying. Everybody's funny on this trip. That's great.

Jesse's so funny. He's been so fun to get to know because he's like from tiny, like unincorporated town, Illinois. We did this game the other night in the pool where everyone added a song to a playlist, a Spotify playlist, and we tried to guess who picked what song. And everyone was guessing Jesse for everything because people just can't really figure that dude out. It's so fun.

So it's been a joy to get to know Jesse. All right, here goes Alvaro. He's back. Yeah, exactly. I do have a question, I guess, for you guys. So, what's the most embarrassing, misheard lyric that you have had in the past? You know, and then once you find out what it really was it was just embarrassing that you were yeah singing it wrong it's hard funny that alvaro asks we were playing a game a couple days ago

and it was like all right uh try to think of a slogan for this company and we went around and like made all these different guesses for slow or like you know submissions for slogans and then we go to read them and al alvaro's slogan i thought you said logo and so his slogans. And then we go to read them and Alvaro goes, slogan? I thought you said logo. And so his slogans were like, That's why I asked. His slogans were like, mother's laughing, you know. Stuff like that.

Mountains and stars. It's like, okay. And didn't he still win one of the competitions? Yeah, describing a logo. Oh, that's a good question. I talked to someone on the boat last night about this, right? Who was it? What was your misheard lyric?

There's a bathroom on the right. There's a bathroom on the right? Is that Bad Moon Rising? I see a bathroom on the right. No, it's before that. Oh. There's a bathroom on the right. Yeah, that was the part she thought.

That was a good one. I told her, my friend Manny back today thought Radioactive by Imagine Dragons was ready to rock, dude. Yes. So that's pretty funny. That's the same one I was thinking of. Because I used to think instead of welcome to the new age, I thought it was welcome Scooby-Doo age. That one Lion King song, where it's just like gibberish. Like pink bananas, penguins in pajamas.

Yeah. Yeah. That's a good one. I was going to ask a very similar question. Or any phrases that are common that you thought were something else. Like when I was very young, I thought, like, take it with a grain of salt was take it with a great assault a great assault oh yeah like is there any different phrases that we didn't um i used to think it was great of salt i thought it was take it with a great assault a great assault oh just take one on the chin you know take it

with a great assault a great assault i used to think it was play it by year. And so I was like, if it's not good, we'll just do next year. I don't know. I thought it was cat and dog ears instead of ears. Oh, cat and dog ears. So we could have really helped each other out. Switch those around. You're seven in human ears.

Oh, yeah. seven in human ears. Oh yeah. Male Speaker 1 You're seven in dog ears. A dog ears, yeah. Seven, yeah that's good. That's so confusing. Do you have one? I'll tell you mine. So the band Mute Math that you know, Brad. Mute Math. In their album Vitals they have a song called Joyride.

And in the chorus, he says something merry-go-round, as I can't remember it right now. But I thought that they were speaking Spanish right there. Really? Yeah, so I thought they were saying, so I'll say it in English. So I thought they were saying, hold on, where is my friend Ram? But in Spanish, that sounded, hold on where is my friend Ram but in Spanish that sounded hold on donde esta mi amigo Ram and so I went to their concert with my friend and we were that song was and I started singing that song and it got to that point and I said it in Spanish and

everybody else said something else oh and my, my friend was like, did you sing it in Spanish? Did I catch a grande esta in there? You're like, oh, so you're stereotyping me. So, yeah, at the concert, I found out he says, life is a merry-go-round. I think that's what it is. And I thought he was saying, hey, where's my friend Rem? That's amazing. That's great, dude? That's amazing. That's great, dude.

That's awesome. Let's do one more. One more, and then a little jingle. A little jingle? I'm not making any more dolphin noises. I was thinking about, like, travel, and, you know, I love to travel. But there's certain places that I'll probably never get to go in my life.

So if money and safety were no issue, where would you want to go? Oh, wow. This is a good question for you, Jake. The fact that you said safety makes me now think I should go to somewhere dangerous. Cuba. Cuba's beautiful. I was just thinking some places in the Middle East are very beautiful, but it would probably be dangerous for a white person to go. First thing that came to mind, I would go on, like, if I'm guaranteed to be safe, I would like to experience what it's like to be, like, a Somalian pirate.

Like, let's load up this little boat and take on, like, a massive, like, barge cruise ship. Like, what's that feel like? If I knew I was gonna be fine, I think that'd be a great thing to experience. I don't know if that answers the question. How far into the capture would you say, I'm the captain now? Like I would be so eager, two minutes into it, be like, I'm the captain now.

Boop, said it. Like do we have the ship? Can I say it now? Can I say it? Do we have control? It'd be so hard not to just like say it right away. Cause that's you want to do it because captain phillips i think the whole boat ride there they're all planning like who's going to do what and i'm just obsessed or who's who's going to say i'm the captain now has anyone called dibs on him the captain though irish irish yeah irish uh so

that's one i think mount everest i think that'd be unbelievable so Oh, so cold. And I would never get there on my own. But if somebody could do it for me, or like, you know, I was guaranteed that it would be safe, yeah, that would be awesome. Where else would I go? I don't see myself ever being able to afford like the Maldives and somewhere like that, and that looks really nice. They got like the bungalows on the water. It's like the good ones. Yeah. Surrounded by it.

Yeah. Antarctica. Oh. Sure. That was probably the right answer. Yeah. Better than Everest? Everest was pretty clever.

Sorry. Good, good, good. Cleverest. What's that? Up a crane. Oh, yeah. Up a crane. Yeah, you'll have the money if you go up a crane naked.

That's true. I don't think I was getting, Was I getting money for the crane naked? Was I just doing it? A million dollars. Oh, I got a million dollars. Okay, great. I think I... Yeah.

That's why I was like, I'm not doing it for a million, but I'd do it for more. That's right. That's right. Cool. No, fun question. All right. All right. This has been a podcast episode.
