Okay, so last night we were on our cruise. We were, first of all, didn't realize the cruise was a dolphin cruise. I thought it was just a cruise ship called the Sunny Lady Dolphin. So I was like, oh, we're going on the Sunny Lady Dolphin cruise. It wasn't. It was a dolphin watching cruise. And while we were there, the tour guide, whatever the guy's name, JJ, he's like, if you haven't seen any dolphins tonight, you're blind. And there was this old woman sitting next to me and she looks at me and she goes, you have seen some dolphins and I've seen a whale too. And I was like, really? And she just stares at me and then looks away and then stares at me again. And I'm like, did this 85 year old woman just burn the heck out of me? And I didn't know what to think. I just went, I told 85-year-old woman just burn the heck out of me?

And I didn't know what to think. I just went. I told Jake and Jensen right away. I was like, dude, I think this lady just called me a whale. So banter on that, Janelle? All dolphins are whales. So, you know, she saw a whale. If she saw a dolphin.

Okay, all right. There you go. Uh-oh. Ooh, I saw a whale. Okay, all right, here we go. Uh-oh, ooh-ah-ooh, I think this tight be means Let's go down with some random thousand white Me too, maybe I'll stress rent Eat your fast food, I'll rip you some gum Oh, let's have some fun and go hang out Cause it's the Ghost Runners Podcast Every Monday morning with Jay and Brad

Ghost Runners Podcast Ghost Runners Podcast? Happy Wednesday, Ghosties. We're coming to you live once again from the house in Gulf Shores. We're with Session 2. Some sort of alarm just started going off. What is that? I don't know what that noise is. Rachel baking brownies for an hour and a half.

What happened with the brownies, Rachel? They were good. Yeah, they tasted good to me. They tasted amazing, but didn't they take like so long? They took like an hour. They took like 30 minutes longer. Yeah. It's the humidity here.

Yeah. So anyway, she's baking more brownies. So by the end of the episode, it'll be ready. Also, I don't know what to eat, though. Speaking of... Is she actually passing out brownies? That was a joke. Oh, that's awesome.

Rachel heard brownies. She's like, you're right. I'll get them. I don't know why I didn't have brownies out. 10 a.m. brownies. No, this is great. right. I'll get them. I don't know why I didn't have brownies out. 10 a.m. brownies. No, this is great. It's an interactive podcast. This is great.

Speaking of food, one of the first things that happened on session two is we're checking people in on the beach and we're all just kind of hanging out talking and Dr. Ben Miller is here with us on session two. Dr. Ben Miller. Yeah. Need two hands for Dr. Ben Miller. Yeah. Refuses to be called anything else.

Yeah. He's like, yeah, he introduced himself. He says, who's Ben? Who's Ben? You can call me the good doctor. You can call me Dr. Ben Miller. Yeah, refuses to be called anything else. Yeah, he's like, yeah, he introduced himself. He says, who's Ben? Who's Ben? You can call me the good doctor. You can call me Dr. Ben. You can call me Doc, but just don't call me just Ben. Don't call me Ben. He's, yeah. And he had a dentist shirt on, so he's like, please ask me that I'm a dentist.

That's all he wants to talk about, yeah. We did talk about dentistry the first 30 minutes you got here. It was heavy on the dentistry, and you're like, guys, I want you to know, Courtney thought the shirt was fun. I did talk about dentistry the first 30 minutes you got here. It was heavy on the dentistry. And you're like, guys, I want you to know, Courtney thought this shirt was fun. I did not want to talk about dentistry when we got here. Anyway, so we're on the beach hanging out. And Dr. Ben randomly just kind of, not randomly, but I'm sure it was somewhat for a reason, but kind of looks at Brandon Faulkner, Brandon's coffee corner, and goes, you know, dude.

Brandon's eating brownies right now. This is great. This is perfect. This is perfect. Brandon's got a mouthful of brownies. He goes, Brandon, dude, you should be like a food critic, which is a bold thing to say to anyone, I think, any adult. But, you know, Brandon's like, oh, dude, food critic?

I don't know. Like, I don't feel like I know that much about food. When am I even ever talking about food? And then, dude, 10 seconds later, something, I think Jan think Janelle you were there Janelle got talking about like yeah when we went to Walmart today I got some of these chips and Brandon's like dude those are like maybe the fourth best types of Doritos chips and I was like what are the other ones he's like well first obviously spicy nachos because they're the same as regular nachos but just way more flavor they're not even that spicy second you're right and just like goes off and

then since then, I feel like every time I enter a conversation with Brandon, it's about food. Every single time. It's been unbelievable. Yeah, yeah.

That's a fun inside joke. I don't want to be a food critic. And then he was also like, yeah, I, like just randomly, he's like, yeah, we did a taste test, me and my girlfriend

with all these different, like blind taste tests with all these different drinks. And I'm like, dude, you are a food critic already you are being a food critic yeah so yeah brandon's great chow down on a brownie right now um brandon's chowed down on a couple things we'll just go right into this story did you hear about the the cookie dough yes i did so for those who didn't hear uh rachel made cookies a few nights ago in session one.

And she was like rolling them up in her hands. And it just got a little, got away from her. Slipped away. Yeah, a ball of dough. And just rolls down. And they can't find this ball of cookie dough. Just anywhere in the kitchen. Her, Isaac, Justin, they're just gone.

Can't find it. Those times are so mind-blowing to me. When it's just like, I don't know where it went. I swear it went somewhere. I like to send up a real intense prayer when it's low stakes like that. Like, God, I know this doesn't matter that much, but like, I'm just so curious where it went. Just reveal this to me. I'm not going to tell anyone. Just like, tell me where it's at. I'm not going to tell anyone. Like that's God's terms. Like, Hey, I'll do it, but you got to keep it on the down low. Yeah. He's like, you can't let other people know I gave you special privileges.

And told you where the cookie dough is. So Rachel, I mean, they just can't find the ball of cookie dough. And she's trying to find it. Well, then like, I think two nights ago or last night, whatever, found that it was like behind the microwave or something. And Rachel's like, I didn't want these people to get mice. And, you know, I wanted to make sure we went and snagged it. And she grabs it.

And then I don't know if this is Rachel's idea, but she was just like, you think Brandon would eat it? Brandon has been hungry for chips. He is, because Brandon's a lifer. That means he's been here for both sessions. And so he knows what the chips are all about. And he has just been like, let me get some chips any way I can. Yeah, most of my Google searches are to make sure what Brandon is attempting to eat is not going to kill him.

But Rachel went and offered Brandon, what was it, 13 chips to eat this, like, you know, 48-hour-old ball of cookie dough. And I think he did it without hesitating. So started off with 13 chips this session. And a watermelon rind too. Yeah, yeah. We were really looking into can an entire watermelon be eaten in one session with the rind?

Yeah. And it looks like yes. I Googled it. It says you get testosterone in the rind. Really? Yeah, it's smart to do it at the beginning of the trip. Holy cow, yeah. Right.

Oh, yeah, baby. No, this trip, it's been awesome this session uh is fun because we have a variety of people like like always we have a few mom and daughter combos which is awesome yeah uh shout out to odette and hannah debbie and emily uh yeah just so much of a delight having having like some moms here not that we don't have some younger whatever this is hard now uh you know like uh like yeah you know you you remember atrax right you know i don't know uh but it's just been such a fun calming presence i don't know i just have really enjoyed talking to Odette and Debbie a lot.

And then we also have a few, like, kids that I don't think are legal yet in the Yoder-Rendell phase over there. And so, yeah, Rendell Weaver's in the house. Yeah, Rendell's here. People are getting to meet him. It's pretty fun. Yeah, him and his cousin, Chad, came from Amish country. His cousin, Chad's last name is Yoder, which really seems on brand for what I Chad came from Amish country. His cousin Chad's last name is Yoder, which really seems on brand for what I know about the Amish people.

Took him like nine weeks to get here by horse and buggy. I asked Chad, I was like, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like Yoder is pretty common, like where you're from. And he was like, oh yeah, it's like Smith. So everybody's a Yoder. And they're all cousins anyway. So that's why the last names don't really get passed around. What happens?

Have you ever been like, that girl's cute. And it's like, she's a Yoder. Honestly. I wouldn't Yoder. She's a Yoder. Yoder. I hardly even see her at family reunions. Has that ever happened?

Anything similar to that come up? They're 16. They haven't started dating yet. So, I mean, that's probably not going to happen. No, not happening. Not happening. Okay. Good job, guys.

Yeah, way to be. But, yeah, fun crew of people. And we still got, you know, some people back. Celia's back. Michaela's back. You guys saw Janelle at the beginning. So, Kosh. You know, you started a list.

Like, now I got to say all of them. Okay. Hannah Warner. Hannah Warner. Tyler.. You started a list. Now I've got to say all of them. Okay. Hannah Warner. Hannah Warner. Tyler. Stoltzfus. Yeah, I understand. Okay, got it.

Okay. Got it. Yeah, so as we're recording this, today is our last day of the vacation, which kind of seems like, dang, it's almost over. It's almost like we have like 18 hours. I'm not going to bed.

Right. Early at all tonight. I dare you. Yeah, yeah. So we've got a lot more to do. Tonight will be a fun night. have like 18 hours i'm not going to bed right early at all tonight i dare you yeah yeah um so we got a lot more to do tonight we have fun night and um yeah i've been fun so far you got sorry i was talking to debbie about how at camp we used to say carry me out of here cmoh so that's what i'm doing tonight baby oh because you like you exerted so much energy no i just got super drunk no yeah carry me out of here man

carry me out of here actually uh tyler uh videographer tyler stoltzman he has done an incredible job i'm sure we'll post uh some awesome videos from him of the trip but um yeah he and i and a few other guys are staying across the street at the Breezy Bungalow, affectionately known as the Brizzy. And so every night we drive back over there. It's like, I don't know, a quarter mile, three tenths, four tenths, five tenths of a mile down the road. And yeah, there was one night I was still playing and he was really patient and just lying on the couch here and he falls asleep. And this is how much I be how Rachel is with you I don't know because I know that you sleep super hard thank you um dude I don't know it was it was impossible to wake him up what did you try um

first of all I gave you a nice first way it was i didn't know at first it was just a quick tyler hey tyler tyler tyler so that didn't work at all come on and then and then it was like everyone else around was like oh oh guys, I don't think he's waking up. And so I Tyler! Tyler! Nothing, dude. And to the point where one of his eyes was like halfway open like this and I'm like, Tyler's dead. We killed him. Something's going on here.

He's going to need to be carried out of here. Yeah, and so you know, oh hey, touch the bottom of his foot. I think that'll be the effective thing. Who said that'll be the effective thing. Who said that? I don't remember. Perv. Yeah.

Take his socks off. Tickle his fourth toe. He'll love it. Okay. Kiss his forehead. Kiss his forehead. Whisper. Whisper, yeah.

Whisper the words to Celine Dion's hit song. I don't know. But then eventually we decided the best thing to do is just to pick him up and carry him into the car. And if he wakes up, you know,

we do it with our kids all the time. The face he had when he woke up as I was holding. Like, like, because he kind of, he was like, because he, he opened up his eyes first.

He's just like. Oh, it was amazing. So anyway, shout out to Tyler. I had to wake him up again last night. And yeah, dude, dude sleeps hard. I'll just put it that way. He's also grinding. I mean, he's shooting all day and editing like all night. And then by 8 a.m. he has like a new like highlight reel for us. It's awesome. Yeah, it's pretty grinding. I mean, he's shooting all day and editing like all night. And then by 8am he has like a new like highlight reel for us.

It's awesome. Um, yeah, it was pretty cool. Yeah. It's fun to like premiere in front of everyone and also not know what's going to be in the video. Right.

And it was like Tyler, it wasn't like, Oh, we've been planning on Tyler coming for the entire trip. Yeah. We said, we're not doing this trip without Tyler. Right.

He was a very late addition to the trip and it was a huge, huge asset. So thank you, Tyler. Yeah. I didn't even know know you were gonna say all that look what i wrote in my podcast notes right there tyler is killing it yeah i already had it written down yeah so so something i want to address last night was uh really fun we did the cruise. We did the whale washing. That's wild. Saw a whale too. Okay.

And to be fair, I think what happened was there was a person behind me who was larger than I was. And I think she was referring to that guy. Still mean. Still very rude and wild that she even thought to say it to me. Anyway. Yeah. I think she had that ready to go. Like they'd already talked about like,

we're supposed to see dolphins, end up seeing whales, and then you bring it up and she's like, I'll test this out on him. I didn't bring it up. I was just standing next to her. Oh.

No, she was ready to go with it. Alabama, man. Yeah. Did the cruise and then did Lambert's with session two and Lambert's was fun. We had an awesome waiter

and I feel like he didn't get the love he deserved for what he was doing at our table yeah i started like quizzing him i know a lot of people weren't there we got we were very isolated they took us to like the back room didn't they kind of forgot about us at times but um brad would like ask this guy different things about the people at our table and he went probably six for six on these different things like, you know, Gabe's occupation. Yeah.

And first of all, the first occupation I gave was firefighter. Gabe's wife, Maddie from a small town in Pennsylvania. She's like, you don't get paid to be a firefighter. What about policemen? They get paid in your town. volunteer as well that was a funny funny

thought because how many of you know that you get paid to be a firefighter most of the time right hannah raise your hand small town you think small towns and big towns are different yeah but they do get paid yeah anyway um yeah baylor was killed like yeah does anyone have any thoughts does anyone like go to bed thinking about how he got all those things right? Or are you just like, oh, that's just how they do it? Caitlin and Gina are just like, no, that's just how it goes. Yeah. I just feel like he didn't get the love he deserved.

Yeah. It turns out we knew him, and so we had a secret code with him on how to know every single answer. Yeah, it was like this whole elaborate prank, and you guys were like, oh, cool, he gets a game job. Oh, wow, that's pretty cool that he knew that. So anyway, keep being like, all right, let's do it again. Yeah, really.

He was our waiter the first time. We're like, dude, we're going to come back, and we're going to do this game, and you're going to guess different things, and then you're not going to get the right answer until the clue before. If the clue before has a double letter in it, like two letters in a row that are the same. And it confused the heck out of him the first couple of times we

explained it. You just thought he was good? Yeah. Just good at guessing strangers stuff. That's funny. Here we go. Okay. Courtney just said, wait, this was planned. Courtney finally got it. Yeah. Yes. So we had him like three nights ago, and we set this all up, hoping you guys would be like, this is insane. This is nuts. How is he guessing their names, the states they're from, their job? Meanwhile, Mattie's just like, can we get the macaroni and tomato salad? I've been trying to get that all night.

The macaroni and tomato took up way more of the conversation than. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. No one cared. Yeah. Oh, cool. Wow, good for him. Yeah. We were somewhat lied to,

but it was supposed to be fun. Did you all give him all of our biographies? No, no, no. So the idea is like, hey, I'm going to give you every single... Hey, is he a dentist?

Or no. Doctor, right? Hey, is he a dentist or no doctor? Doctor, right? Dr. Ben Miller is a dentist. So I'll be like, Hey, what is this guy been?

What does he do for a job? And I'll give a word like, is he a pediatrician that doesn't have double letters? Is he a firefighter? You don't get paid for that. Is he a policeman? You don't get paid for that either. Is he a massage therapist m-a-s-s so there's two what i'm just i'm just explaining it no no m-a-s-s so

two two letters in a row and he's like no but then the next clue would be the right one since i gave two letters so i'd be like is he a dentist yes he did a good job of like playing it up too like he like look at him he kind of like yeah he's a dentist yeah he's a dentist he was so fun he's like he was like so naturally hilarious to me yeah Gabe what were some of the weird things he was saying at the table like you uh i like ordered these like white brown gravy brown it's like hey brown it down white brown gravy brown is down my man he had all these like steve harvey catchphrases for us out of the other table yeah he was great i thought he was like 14 or 15. almost 20. yeah almost 20. 20 in july he's like happy oh yeah talk about happy birthday oh yeah he goes oh yeah goes, oh, yeah, I'm 19.

I'll be 20 next or something. I'll be 20 this year. Yeah, I'll be 20 this year. And without skipping a beat, Courtney, right next to him, just goes, oh, happy birthday. This year you're having one? Oh, my gosh. You're the guy that goes, gosh. Birthday thing.

Oh, my gosh. Happy thing. Oh, my gosh. Happy birthday. Oh, my gosh. Happy birthday. That was wild. Quick on the trigger. So, yeah, Lambert's was a blast, of course, last night. I knew ahead of time this time, like, I haven't done my run all day.

I'm going to go light at Lambert's. So I got a Caesar salad. I was really proud of myself. And the Caesar salad came, I don't know if you guys were at tables with Caesar salads, but it was like a mixing bowl size, and the whole bowl was bread. It looked like the same thing a chicken pot pie would come in or something. Yes, it was good-looking bread.

And anyway, destroyed that, had a blast, a lot of rolls, gallon of sweet tea, and then came back, and we had like a group a group run with, like, five of us. And it was so fun. Happy birthday, Courtney Miller, really pushed us. Gabe was like, hey, I might come. Like, what's your guys' pace? And we're like, oh, I mean, probably, like, nine minutes.

Like, we're not, I mean, we just had Lamberts. We're like, we feel awful. Gabe's like, okay, cool, cool. And Courtney is leading us, and we ran, like, a seven and a half minute mile. Gabe's like, this is not what I signed up for. How'd you do with that? I did fine, actually. Yeah, I waited long enough and it felt good.

But the seven and a half minute pace is like way faster. Yeah, no, I kept up, you know, it's your group dynamic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, Dr. Ben, on the other hand. Only 830. Uh-oh. You guys go. No, it was great though. He finished it. You guys go. He-oh. You guys go. No, it was great, though.

He finished it. You guys go. He finished it. That a boy. No, it was great. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, we've done some spontaneous competitions, speaking of Dr. Ben, at the end of pickleball yesterday. So we went and played pickleball.

Let's just talk about that in general. Yeah. What was the scene like when you got to Gulf Shore Sportsplex? Gulf Shore Sportsplex. It was, I don't know, Lollapalooza there in the world nelly was opening up as we were pulling into that street by the sportsplex there was a line of a hundred cars on the other side of the road and i was like that's not good a lot of people want to play what the heck and so yeah something's going on turns out you think it was state yes i saw a marquee board okay

it said uh dolphins boys and girl dolphins good luck at state okay there you go could be the actual dolphins but i bet it was the track and field yeah so yeah state track and field and so they're the the pickleball courts that we played in last time were not open we tried really hard to like get there no one was on the courts. I was so close to, like, sweet-talking this guy into it. Yeah, how did it go? So, first of all, just if you're from the South, I love Southern accents.

Louisiana, like, Odette has this accent. I don't even know what Odette's saying some of the time. Like, she has, it is unbelievable is unbelievable like i think i might just like send you some children's books and have you read them on audio so i can like have my kids listen to you anyway um is it just so fun but this guy i mean he just has a great alabama accent and he's like sorry boys courts boys, courts are closed until Sunday. I was like, all right, we're just trying to play. We got like 30 people here from out of town.

Can we just play? I mean, there's nobody here. We'll be in and out in an hour. He was like really close. Courts are closed until Sunday. It's like, okay, well, you know. And then he kept saying, like, maybe we don't have enough parking for you guys to play. These pickleball courts, they fill up fast. And I'm like, I was here like three days ago.

We were the only people here. I was like, well, we'll just park, you know, in the neighborhood next to it and hop the fence. I was like, I'm not going to hop the fence. I'll go around the fence. And he's like, well, court's closed until Sunday. And so, anyway, it didn't end up happening. But I was like, I'm not trying to be happening, but I, I was, I was like, just, I was like, I'm not trying to be mean, but I am going to keep being persistent. I think I did say

that. I asked him like five times and he never let us play. And so we found the next best thing, which was a senior living. I don't think it was senior living. Oh, I thought it was. What did I see that? I think Celia was like, this would be a great place when I grow up and be a senior. I'm like, Celia, there's a Jeep Rubicon in the parking lot. I don't think this is, what else did I see?

And I was like, Oh, there's a playground. Why, why would a senior living place have a playground? Grandkids. Yeah. All the grandkids come in.

But anyway, yeah. On the way. Oh, sorry. Keep going. Yeah. We just found it and it was great. Did you notice they,

uh, the people who own the courts came out, and I thought we were going to get in trouble because we were supposed to pay, and then they were really excited. Like, no one ever uses these. What were you going to say, Hannah? Yeah, Hannah did pay. Oh, we paid?

Yeah, we owe her money. Oh, wow. Oh, that's very kind. So we did pay. Oh, that makes sense. But I saw it coming out, and I still thought we were getting in trouble. I was like, I don't know.

We're doing something wrong. Janelle played too much Taylor Swift or or something but oh that reminds me gabe was giving me a rundown so they gave and maddie uh had like a was an uber driver who is this guy jeff or whatever his name is okay i shot from the airport and gabe does it actually gabe do you want to get on the mic and just say exactly what you said to me yesterday in his accent about Taylor Swift? So this is like on the way down to the airport. He said he was like their tour guide. Yeah. Jeff, he just didn't stop talking the whole time.

Dom, he was in the car with us. He just talked the entire time. We'd like try to ask questions. He'd like cut us off. But he was like, well, the people down here, they keep saying that Taylor Swift lives here, but I think that's a load of BS.

But we got the hangout here. It's over to the left up here in about a mile. And it's a big, big music festival and it just happened a few weeks ago, but some people saw Taylor Swift and there's this nice uppity community over here and so i just i don't think it is a load of bs anymore i think i think i think she

really does have a house here in gulf shores we're just like cool that's awesome he went back and forth on himself like he convinced himself otherwise i want to hear more things in your that's what I'm saying. Gabe was telling me this on the cruise last night. I was like, I am just dying laughing at this. This is amazing. Your Jeff voice is awesome. And it also is funny that Taylor Swift would have a home in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

I just, I really don't buy it. Like, if you can go anywhere. Tahiti, you know, Fiji, Gulf Shores. Just outside of Foley, Alabama. Hey, beautiful coastline here, you know, Fiji, Gulf Shores. Bora Bora. Just outside of Foley, Alabama. Hey, beautiful coastline here, you know? Yeah, good beach. What were we talking about before that? Oh, I know.

Getting from the first Pickleball Course we tried to the second one. Um, who, okay, Ben, now you get on the mic. I'm just gonna boss people around. Tell the people what you saw. Ben? Sorry, doctor. Good doctor Ben. Good doctor Ben. It's okay what you saw. Sorry, doctor. Good doctor, Ben. It's okay. You can call me Ben.

Sorry, Tyler. He just can't even accept the joke. He's like, no, guys, really, it's fine. They're joking. So, what's the point? When you were leaving the state track and field in the parking lot. Oh, okay, yeah.

Yeah, so anyway, we're driving. And first off, I'm just hooping and hollering different school names. And totally butchering them, honestly. Do you remember any of them? But one of them keeps coming to mind, like Tuscaloosa or something like like that but i was like i would keep mispronouncing it almost on purpose and what's funny that with the reactions of some of the attendees i was like there might be money on some of these things all that i was like something like really excited i don't know but anyway the like the officiants or whatnot but anyways we're driving and we're finally getting

out i see this man up by a tree and i was like wow i guess he's praying you know he's probably pulling a tim tebow he was like kneeling he was kneeling down his hands were down on the ground i don't know i'm like okay that's kind of cool and then i did a double take he's holding a baby raccoon what you didn't know about this it was like holding was like holding it under the little armpits, almost like, here, buddy. He was just taking care of it. And me, Gabe, and whatnot, we were like, holy smokes.

He has a baby record. Holy smokes. He must be from Tuscaloosa. Something like that. His voice didn't change. You were just like, he's praying. Oh, he has a baby record. His voice didn't change. That were just like, he's praying. Oh, just a baby raccoon. His voice didn't change.

He said, that's amazing. Just a baby raccoon. Did anyone else see the baby raccoon outside of their car? It was so cute. They were the only car who saw it. And they're all verifying each other's stories. So I don't know how real it is. Oh, you weren't in it?

No, no, no. I just heard about it. And everyone in their car saw it. But no, no. 25 other people didn't see how real it is. Oh, you weren't in it? No, no, no. I just heard about it. Everyone in their car saw it. But no, 25 other people didn't see the baby raccoon. But yeah, that was great. That's fun. Great memory maker. And it was just the baby, yeah?

And you knew that from a distance? You're like, oh, that's just an infant raccoon. Yeah. He's a doctor, so. Yeah. Pretty smart. I like the idea of him. Yeah, he didn't ever raise his voice or like really even like.

He went from like, oh, that guy's praying. Oh, it's just raccoon. No, it's baby raccoon. So tell me your testimony, man. Oh, that's awesome. Brad, I was proud of you. I was proud of you, man. At the end of session one, coming into session two, we had cleaners come in.

And come and like redo the house. First of all, me and Celia, we leave the house. We're the first ones down there saying goodbye to the last session. And we see these people like, oh, you guys are the cleaners. And they're just kind of smiling at us. And right away, I'm like, oh, OK, they don't speak English. Did not deter Celia from really engaging in conversation. I would love to see Celia with them. Yeah. She just kept going like, well, that's so fun.

You guys are going to be cleaning the house. That's neat. She looks around. A podcast. It's a podcast. Yeah. It's called Ghost Runners. All over the Ustados Unidos. It was so funny. She's like, oh, I just finished. Yeah, fresh laundry, new towels. Oh, my gosh, that's awesome. Well, you guys have fun.

We'll be back at 3 or 4, so we'll see you guys. Oh, man. That was a really fun memory. We'll be back at the, just, I'm sure you're worried we won't be in your hair. That's an expression. We're going to Jackie Jack's. Do you want anything, baby? The thing was, I didn't realize

that Celia never caught on until like 30 minutes later. That's why she's talking to them so much. She thinks they're really quiet. They just love to smile. So like 30 minutes later, we've just love to smile and so like 30 minutes later um we've said goodbye to everyone and i'm like silly i feel like we got a debrief

i'm thinking she knew that i was like i love your persistence even though they didn't speak english you still tried she's like oh you're right that i bet they didn't know english i bet they did just speak spanish you're right oh my gosh so really great. Sorry, that had nothing to do with being proud of you. That was the setup to, you came, you know, studied abroad in Spain and you did just fine talking to him. Yeah, I did okay. I don't know why I took a video of you talking to him. Did you?

I haven't done anything with it, but I just have it. It was just fun. Anybody that actually speaks Spanish would be like, he did not do that good of a job. But I kind of mumbled through some things and said, yeah, we have one room where we have all the luggage. And don't worry about that room. I'm just trying to like show with my hands like, no te preocupes, you know, whatever. And but yeah, Freddy was his name. And we thought we thought Freddy was a thief. So they're done they're like we're

all done you know whatever and they leave and we can't find the uh we've had like water coolers for the water this week uh we couldn't find any more water jugs i was like i think they i think they stole our water jugs it was just a weird thing out of all the things for them to steal it was right a key i think we take that a lot. And I'm like, what in the world? So I call Freddy. I'm like, Freddy, where are the water jugs? No, no, no, no, no. You said.

Oh. No podemos. I don't know what I said. No podemos buscar. That's to look. I don't know. . Beautiful. Azules? Hey. Hey. Hey. that's to look i don't know beautiful

like what i said como and then he said it slower slower for me and i figured out he left them on the elevator elevator yes so if you're thirsty check the elevator yeah there might be some water in there any given time anyway yeah that was thanks for being proud of me i think it's so cool i would have loved to speak spanish see you and celia just try to figure it out i knew i knew limp er i knew that was to clean yes i could have put any words around it i could have given a thumbs up and said limp er man they were limp er brother um that was a fun yeah a little little transition day uh session one to session two we were all just like hanging out here on the porch pretty chill quiet music and then oh we heard that the mings were here and so we just like went from like quiet little

you know kind of emotional like chill music and was And it was like, Ming's are here. We just bumped up the music as loud as we could. Amanda Hutzel's on a phone call. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. She's got dual monitors up. You were planning on staying for the second session. So you're like, I got to do a little bit of work.

You were very calm about the whole thing, but I felt bad for you. One other thing I feel like I just need to mention is last night on the cruise ship, you know, it's the same crew, JJ, Kinsley. Kinsley. Is that her name? Yeah. That's her name. Tattoos, yeah.

Beardy, tattoos, JJ. Same crew. We're getting to know them a little bit. And I feel like they started to like us a little bit because they'd seen me and Brad and a handful of people before. And they even let us request a song. So Laura requested a song at the beginning of the cruise

and requested Trash in the Camp, which I was like, that is a great song. I don't know. But you got to keep in mind, there's like 35 of us and probably 40 strangers on this boat. Yeah, yeah. I was like, this is fun.

I think this is going to be like a hit. And you're like, I don't care who you are. You're going to like this song, you know, whatever. However, there was a second request made about 20 minutes later. And this guy's even prepping it i'm down at the bottom and i'm like kind of catching some of what he's saying is like all right we got another request uh i don't i don't know what this is i'm looking at a youtube video that's got 11 views i honestly have no idea what this is it says it's uploaded by the lizard king

and like we're kind of talking like what's what's the lizard, what's he saying? You didn't know? I had no idea what was happening. Because I thought of Sammy Watkins. Sammy Watkins, yeah. There's this old

Chiefs player into some weird stuff. But then just, I would recognize it anywhere, that first saxophone sound. Ba-da-da-ba-da. Ba-ba-da-ba-ba-da. and Laura somehow found a YouTube version someone has uploaded a YouTube video of time and eyes and then that just blared for the longest minute

48 of my life I had a physiological response. I just like, I was burying my, yeah, I just got so small. I buried my head and then I would like, all right, it's fine. Just get it. It's not, it's not a big deal. And I look up and everyone's filming me. Like you guys are lucky. I'm really confident or else this is mortifying.

Yeah, there was a, that um a tough scene but i think everyone got enjoyment out of it so i'll be all right yeah rachel was up on the top floor with some of a top deck and you were down below and rachel's like wait is this the song she's like oh jake is hating this right now i was like i know that's why i found it and put it up there so you found it yeah no way yeah i. You found it? Yeah. No way. Yeah. I thought that was Laura. You remember that?

Because there was a fan, William Mare, Mar, I believe. Remember he made that infographic of the mouse in the house? I can't believe that was you. Yeah, I sent the link to her. So it was Laura's idea. Laura has a million ideas. If you ever need a company, it's like, we're just a little bit stagnant. Bring in Laura Wilkite.

Yeah. She said, hire me. I never have a job. Laura's always got an idea. It's just like, we should do Mouse in the House. I was like, Laura, we're not doing Mouse in the House. I was like, actually, I do have a way to get that. Yeah, that was pretty brutal. It brutal um but i i got to see

tyler's footage apparently the top deck was having a blast oh yeah i was dancing you and jensen were going off so that's fun but i texted time and last night you know finally get up to my bedroom at like 1 a.m and i'm texting like hey this edit looks great. Hey, we're shooting here. And hey, quick third thing. You're on the radio, dude. I said it was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. And I wish you could have been there, dude. I said I needed you to be miserable with me. There's nothing quite, yeah, it's just not fun watching people consume your content.

I think that's what's, you know. And when you sound like I do. No, you sound, everyone loves this song sounded so white so white time actually just texted me back like 20 minutes ago um first text dang that sounds miserable second text but hey maybe the strangers on the boat walked away with it stuck in their heads oh there you go that's nice little timing a little time little guy See if anything else went down. Yeah, that was great.

Yesterday, we did our Jean Shorts video with this crew. Went down to the shore and did like different types of people on the beach.

How do you say that in Spanish? La playa. Very good. Yeah, I know some buzzwords. And anyway, Janelle actually had the idea.

I mean, this is how you get on the podcast. She was like, what if one of the characters is the guy who's really protective of a sand castle which is a great idea and it happened to work out because two doors down they've built an immaculate sand castle you know seashells like it's it's decorated on the outside it's really impressive and so um yeah we

went over there to shoot it it was really fun you know brad's screaming at people playing football and whatnot and pretty early on the people who i guess are still here are like on their porch like waving at us like don't i don't know what they thought we were just kind of like blatantly just like kick it over yeah my sandcastle my sandcastle yeah i uh so i i felt so bad that they for just even two seconds thought that we were bad people. I was like, ah. And then we just kind of kept pointing at the camera and giving a thumbs up. And we're like, does this make sense?

Yeah, yeah. We film it. We're doing a video. We film it. We film it. We no touch. We film it. And then, yeah, their waved arms turned into thumbs up arms.

So that was fun. But yeah, you did a great job being the shark watcher and just screaming at some of these girls and shout out uh hannah warner and hannah jennings yeah um for keeping a straight face while brad was screaming at them yeah i was just trying to basically matt folium like chris farley style just screaming their face and yeah for the most part didn't break them which i was a little just i wanted better for myself you know i want to be like i don't know i i think at one point i poked hannah's eyes through her glasses so i was like sorry about that she's like it was fine i had fun so yeah it was a good video though i think i'm excited to see that one yeah you did great yeah you did great thanks um

gracias oh yeah should we do some segments with the ghosties? Let's do some segments, yeah. Let's start with sane or psycho. I have a quick sane or psycho myself, and then we can move into yours. So anybody that's thinking they might have one, be ready to go. Sane or psycho. On our way to Pensacola, we had to go through Houston, and we had to run pretty fast.

It doesn't matter. And as I'm, like, boarding the plane in the very back, I look over. This guy is just sitting there on his phone. And I look over at his phone, not thinking I was a creep, but I guess unintentionally creeping on his phone. And I see on his phone, it says LJ Del Papa. LJ Del Papa is a ghostie who I met. I don't

know if you guys remember me telling the story about a guy that came and like was about to be a dad. And so he wanted to like ask me questions and get guidance from me and all this stuff. Anyway, good guy works with Jake at Canna Cook. Um, not too many people in the world named LJ Del Papa is from Houston. And so I'm like, it looked like he was like emailing LJ Del Papa. And I was like, that's crazy. That's crazy. And so I said something to the guy. I was like, hey, man, I don't know what to tell you.

I just saw your phone and it said LJ Del Papa. And I know that guy. And it turns out that this guy, he's a big, big dude named Moe, and Moe is one of LJ's co-workers, and was emailing him back, and I was like, tell him Brad Ellis says hi. What a guy. Thank you, Tyler. It's alcohol. Oh, good. Anyway, sane or psycho, telling somebody in that situation that you looked at their phone and yeah, did that. Like, what's the consensus so far? A couple of psychos, a couple of saints. Oh, mainly saying, okay. You would do the same thing. Yeah. Same. Yeah. Any psychos, anything? 10% psycho. Tia says psycho. You're too shy.

Okay. I would do it, but I would feel like a psycho. You would do it, but you'd feel like a psycho. That's kind of what I was like. I think I also just look at people's phones inherently anyway. But yeah, felt a little bit uncomfortable with it. But I was like, that is too crazy. I'm not even in like my city.

Like I don't see LJ. I've met LJ once, you know. It was just a wild time. Good for you. I think it would have to be a pretty good friend for me to say something. Like, if it's kind of an acquaintance, it's like, hey, I know him from college. Yeah. I don't know anything about him.

So, I'll see you guys. Yeah, but he was in the same dorm as me. But if it was, like, a good friend, I was like, I have to say something. I saw Gunnar Duckworth on his phone. I know. Then it becomes more sane, I think. Yeah, how? But that's the thing. Like, I feel like I am his friend now. We had a good one, like, one quality 24-hour time together. Here's what I'll

say. I'll reverse it. If you were walking by someone's phone, and on their phone it said Dave Ellis, you would be a psycho not to say something. Oh, you think so? If it was, like, a close family member, I guess with a unique name. That's more common of a name. Yeah, yeah. The commonality of the name matters. Georgian. Okay, my mom's name is Georgian Ellis. I agree.

If I saw Georgian Ellis on somebody's phone, if nothing else, I'd be like, that's crazy. I've only met one other Georgian in my life. That's my mom. That's my mom. You're not my mom. You're messaging my mom. Yeah, you're talking to my mom. I read to Ben, actually.

I read his phone and I felt bad. You read Ben's phone? Yes. I told him about it in the course. I felt so guilty. What mom you read Ben's phone what'd you what'd you read that's sweet and then I just go down to like what made it pop up the notifications I was like I didn't mean to I just like read it but it said like happy birthday and I was like so I wasn't going to say anything but then I was like oh my gosh it's Ben's birthday I I want to say happy birthday but I didn't want to say it without explaining how I knew so I got and then he drove me to pickleball so I was like Ben I don't know how to say I think I I was like, Ben, I don't know how to say it. I think I asked Courtney first. I was like, Courtney, I don't know how to say this.

I was like, but Ben's phone popped up like open and I read it. And I said, I read a text message too, but it said happy birthday. Is it his birthday? And she's like, no. So then I shouldn't have said anything. Whose birthday is it? Our sister's. It is.

Yeah. Like today or yesterday or like two months from now. No, I'm just kidding. Or like this year she's having one. This is funny. I didn't even know any of that. Yeah. It is.

It's like one of those like I saw it, but I don't know. Should I say something? There is a – so DJ Mikel on the road, he has one of those screen protectors that is like a privacy screen. And I always, like it makes me wonder what you're doing more. Yes. I never look at someone's phone really. But if you have a privacy screen, I'm like, what are you up to?

Right. Why do you have to do this? And so, yeah, I'm always looking at Mikel's phone. Totally. I don't see anything. That's a very valid logic. Yeah. Anybody else, or do you have any Sander psychos?

No, no, no. Go for it. Anybody else have Sander psychos? If you do, come to the microphone. Amanda's coming. No, she's not. Amanda's got a quick business call. She's going to put some Sean Paul on and close some deals. We're going to pause real quick because this episode is brought to you by Main Street Roasters.

You know what? Let's have the ghosties tell you about Main Street Roasters. Who loves Main Street Roasters here? Been drinking all week. It's been incredible. Maddie, what do you have to say first? My husband and I have planned a road trip home all the way from California to Pennsylvania.

And so far, all we have on our list is a couple of national parks, the Wisconsin State Fair, and to visit Main Street Roasters. All right, Caitlin, Gina, what were you guys going to say? We've never had it before, but it's so good.

Oh, oh. She's not here? You really fooled me. Yeah. She's never had it before this week. Oh, before this week. Oh, yeah. I was like,

you were so believable. We just wanted to get on camera, so. I woke up early every day, and I sit there and wait, and Brooks is like, it's like 10 more minutes. I woke up early every day and I sit there and wait and Brooks is like, it's like 10 more minutes. I sit and wait. Okay, and then I come back in for a second

cup and I'm like a new person. Love it. Oh, wow. Yeah, we've been having it all week here, Miller Morning Blend of Main Street Roasters. Anybody know, like, surely they just, we don't have any discount code or anything, do we?

Anybody know what the discount code is? For how much off? 90% of full price. 90% of full price, that's right, GRKC. So stop there on road trips, stop there on your websites. Yes, MainStreetRoasters.com, GRKC, thank you Main Street Roasters, GRKC. So stop there on road trips. Stop there on your websites. Yes, MainStreetRoasters.com, GRKC. Thank you, Main Street Roasters. Love you guys.

Senior Psycho, who's going to step up? Well, I've got one, but it's not about me. It's about somebody else. It's not about, okay. Doctor, this is Dr. Ben Miller. It's about somebody in the room. So it's not about me. Please introduce yourself real quick.

Ben Miller, good to meet you. Who's Ben? I don't know. Anyway so I so Courtney I've been together 11 12 years right I just learned this last night and and it's and it's like when we were all in the car driving back from yeah from dinner I was like wait would you do what so so we were driving, and honestly, kind of unprompted, I thought it was a great Facebook post earlier, like Sandage Psycho, like people sharing things.

I was like, wow, that's a really cool topic. I was like, so guys, like, what about in here? And of course we get to Courtney, and Courtney's like, oh, man, let me share. And so apparently, you know those little, like, cracks in the road that are filled over with whatever they are yeah so Courtney was explaining that you know for pretty much the majority of her life every time we drive over those or even I don't know like she basically imagines the car jumping over those things the tires never touch those little, like, sealed cracks.

The tires jumping over. They never roll over those little cracks. And she'll even, like, bob her head a little bit to, like, act like she's riding a horse. Jumping over. And I look at her. I'm driving. I'm like, what?

And so, yeah, I was like, that's a saner psycho thing. That's great. What do you mean by the cracks in the road? What is it exactly? It's like on the interstate or the highway, like the road will crack. And then it's like filled over with tar. Or like even with shadows, like everyone, I'm jumping over. Even when I'm walking, I'm mentally like jumping over it.

Here I go. Like a horse interesting that's pretty strange I don't know if it's full psycho but I love stuff like that because everybody does weird stuff like that

all the time so what do we think? it's great because he just goes this whole time? all the nights in bed together never brought it up. Okay, so what do we think? Sane or psycho?

Sane? Sane? Raise your hand for sane. Really? Okay, just like five of you. Psycho? Yeah, a lot of psychs. Okay. Psycho.

You are a psycho. Yeah, that's good. Thanks, Ben. Who else? Anybody else have one? Tia has one? Okay. Let's go, Tia! Tia! So ever since I was a little kid, I have a really hard time sitting still. Like my foot's always moving or something on me is always moving.

So since I was 12, even when I watch TV or now that I have a desk job from home, I do all my work bouncing on a ball, whether I'm talking to a friend, typing on the computer, watching TV. And I've actually had friends be like, you need to put the ball away because I'm getting sick looking at you. Really? Wait. Since you were 12? Yeah, before that, when I was younger,

I had a little, like, rocking horse that I would rock on, but then I got too big for that, so I went to a yoga ball. Wow. And I've been bouncing on a yoga ball since then. I think the rocking horse would be fun. Get some work done rocking. Can you imagine doing a Zoom call now? Like, yep.

I made myself sit on the couch for that one. Really? For the Zoom call. Oh, for our Zoom call. Yes. Yes. Wow. So you, how have you been feeling this week?

Like, has it been hard? Have you been like, man, I wish I had my ball here? Yeah, I've just been bouncing my foot a lot. Oh, wow. Like even right now, sitting through this podcast, you'd rather be bouncing? Yes. Yeah. Absolutely.

That's like one of those bumper stickers or like cheesy t-shirts where it's like, I'd rather be at the beach. Or like, I'd rather be fishing. Rather be on the ball. I'd rather be on the ball. I actually had to work at my friend's house for a couple weeks last year while there was siding construction going on at my house. And I would physically every day when I drove to her house to work, I would pack my ball. B-Y-O-B. To take it over to do my own work.

Did you think about packing your ball here? I thought about buying one and bringing it and blowing it up. But I didn't actually do it. Next year. Next year. We'll provide a ball next year. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. That's awesome sane or psycho let's go let's raise our hand or anybody hillary yes are you just i told her last night when she shared this with us

that dwight on the office did the same thing so So it really could go either way. Yeah. I have popped several yoga balls. I keep one on deck. Oh, really? Yeah. You're just like binging like psych on TV and all of a sudden it's like. Sorry, Rosie. Oh, that's funny. Okay.

Sane or psycho. Let's say, let's raise your hand for sane. Wow. Raise your hand for psycho. Okay. You are sane. You are sane. You are sane. I think if you would have brought it here, that would have been psycho.

I did pack a fan. I brought a fan. Not psycho. I think sleeping things, if you're particular, that's fine. Do you sleep with your ball? No. No, I go through too many. That's a good question.

If the ball had a name, I would have changed my answer to psycho. I think it becomes psycho to me if you bring the ball and you bounce on it, great. But if you were to bring it to the beach, if you were bouncing on the beach, just looking at the ocean, like, this is beautiful. This is great. What a good sunset. You take it into the ocean with you? Shallow end, and just kind of bounce it.

Yeah, that would be psycho. Have you ever talked to the ball? Okay. I don't know if it's like a Wilson situation, you know? Okay. Yeah, I started just treating her like she's insane.

Is the ball in the room with us right now? I'm just trying to figure out ways it could be psycho. That's a good one. That's funny. All right. Another one? Anybody else have one?

Ready to go? Brandon's coming. Bet you 10 Chips is about food. Brandon is known for his shirts. Brandon's shirts are amazing. So I think I already know the answer to this one. But four or five years ago, I decided that it would be a good idea for bath towels to consistently be drying the same parts of your body.

So for four or five years, I always start with the tag of my towel on the bottom left side. Yes. Yes. Yes. Keep going. Yes. I mean, that's it. Yes. Every time to make sure like just certain areas of the body with the same part of the towel. Yes. Is the tag the like dirty side for you? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Or like the tag is the part of my body that I would not want to get confused and then wash my face with it later. The tag is like the bad side. Yeah, but you're clean.

Your whole body's clean. Do you wash your towels? Yes. Why? You're clean. Do you wash your towels? Yes. Why? For the record, I endorse washing your towel. Oh, man. I have such a system for my towel.

Like, I dry off the exact same way for as long as I can remember. Do you really? It's like, you know, the same amount of time here, left arm, right arm over the shoulder, scrub the back. And then like, it just, it's all the thing, the same parts of the towel. When I'm done with it, I throw it over. The tag goes on the far back left side. So it's just like, there's no mistakes. Seriously. The one exception is at home. I own cozy earth towels that are one sided. Yeah. So nice. And the tag has to be on the right side for the side that's supposed to dry you off. So at home, I switch it up.

But everywhere else, it's the left side. We have one towel that Rachel has that has a tag on each side. Gives me fits. I don't know what I've used for where and I just got to avoid it. But you're the most sane person here, as far as I'm concerned.

I can't believe that you do that as well. All right, what do we think? Sane? Sane. Sane? I've seen with Brandon. Anybody psycho? Okay, a decent psycho.

I think Celia's voted psycho three out of three times. I think she's just trying to just... Celia's like, is that a Spanish word, psycho? I don't know. I think it's borderline psycho, but I think it's just smart. I don't think things that are like smart are psycho. They're just a little particular.

Would it be like, could you do it another way? Yeah. Right, that makes it not. It's not all the same. Okay, all right. Hillary, do you have one? I don Right. That makes it not... Okay. All right. Hillary, do you have one? I don't have a deal.

Come on. Yes, we learned that Gabby does not sleep with a pillow, but she did indeed bring her own pillowcase. Whoa! To lay flat

on the bed. Oh, snap. Yes. So that... So you're just calling out your friend right now. Okay, okay. Yes, yes, yes. Gabby's dying back there. You can tell it's a pillow friend right now. Okay. Yes, yes.

Callie's dying back there. You can tell it's a pillowcase she's probably had for about 15 years. It's been passed down in the family. But every night she pulls the corners. No way. What? Yeah. The heck?

Sleeps flat on her back. Questions? Yeah. There's no psychos around the bar. All right. Sane, anybody? sleeps flat on her back questions yeah there's no psychos around the bar alright Sane anybody oh Hannah tell me why I sometimes sleep without a pillow because with one it hurts my neck

but with one I understand that because there's certain smells that are just I don't do that other people have slept in that bed you think there's certain smells that are just, I don't do that. Other people have slept in that bed. What? You think there's an area of the bed, like the head of the bed, like, whoa, that thing stinks. Put the pillow on.

Never mind. Go to bed. There's certain smells. Some people will sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase. Hair. It's not. It's cotton. It's cotton. She said it's not. It's cotton. It's cotton.

She said it's not. It's cotton. It's the t-shirt material from Target. Oh, wow. That was so funny from the back. It's not. It's not. It's cotton.

So, okay, psycho? Yeah, all psychos. Psycho. You're a psycho. Anything to add, Gabby, to this? Do we need to know? Come to the mic. She's crying.

I hope it's out of laughter. I got a feeling this isn't the only thing going on. I have back issues, so it kind of goes up to my neck, so I like to sleep flat. Okay. And then because going to like different places you know i'm my family's kind of a germaphobe so okay um even when like we use like pillows at hotels like we have to put on the pillowcase oh really and so because it's like your

head and you know that's like close to your face and stuff like that um so that's why i put a pillowcase and i just lay on that dang I'm a little more on the middle now. You're still a psycho. Once you said back problems. Only like 60%. Well, back problems aren't as hilarious. Scoliosis. It's like, all right, psycho.

Oh, my. Anybody else? Yeah. Bowser. The bows. What's up, guys? I'm Mitchell. You didn't introduce yourself I know

you did great born and raised in a Christian home I realized I was a sinner pretty quick so this kind of this kind of goes with that this is when I was a kid

it was my birthday my parents would have to like tell me exactly which birthday happy birthday yeah kind of sister-in-law vibes yeah cool yeah yeah um so i was you know blowing out the candles on the cake really cool

moment and just kind of you know what if instead of blowing out the candle you just kind of throw it in the mouth chew a bit swallow just ate the whole candle it's just you did yeah never saw it come out i don't know it's an isolated incident or it's just the one time okay okay yeah but how like two or three yeah it was like two or three weeks no i'm just kidding yeah okay i think it's psycho but i'm curious if anybody else thinks it's like... Has anyone else ever eaten a candle? I guess maybe it's kind of anyone else. Your kids ever eaten candles?

No. I was young. Yeah, I was going to say, was it lit? Because that's... Kind of hope so. They'd be kind of sick. Yeah. Sick as frick.

That's for sick as frick. Okay. How many chips to do it again that's kind of honestly yeah we throw some chips on that we should just have a candle eating competition whoever wins gets 45 chips oh yeah yeah that's awesome that'd be so we would kill people brandon would do it and say That's not the waxiest thing. Those donut donuts, you know, those chocolate donuts, those are waxy.

Okay. Yeah, what do y'all think? Sane or psycho? Let's go sane. At two or three, I'd say sane. Sane at two or three. Keep them coming. You don't have an urge to eat candles, right? No.

No. This hasn't been a pattern in your life. I will say, though, like if No, no. This hasn't been a pattern in your life. I will say, though, like, if Rosie were to eat a candle, like, we wouldn't address it in the moment, but I think it's the first thing we're talking about as a parent, you know, group after she goes to bed. Like, love you, sweetie. Okay, what the heck was up with that candle thing? Let's say 20 years later she's on a trip with some podcast strangers.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'll come back up again. She trusted him. Okay, psycho? Psycho. Yeah. It seemed like saying was more... That's good, though. That was kind of anyone else. Do you want to transition to the next segment? Sure. Anyone else?

I'm going to do a segment of anyone else. Come with a question, a habit, a thought. Anything you've been noticing? A theory. Observation. Trezza. Alright, so anyone else? So you get you go to Wadi, Whataburger, right? They have the

honey barbecue chicken strip sandwich. Okay. Rather than getting the barbecue, you get the honey butter on it. Okay. You switch out the barbecue for the get the honey butter on it. Okay. Switch out the barbecue for the honey butter. It's like the HBCB, but on the Texas toast. Next level good. Anyone else? Anyone else on all those things? I love that idea. Brandon, what do you think of that? Ben said, Brandon, what do you think of that? Food critic.

You're a Whataburger guy. You ever done it? The Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit might be the bottom tier at Whataburger. Psycho. Anyone else? Psycho. That's wild. That's crazy. That's my anyone else.

I've been in the Brizzy with Tyler, Justin, a little bit younger guys, and I've noticed, I don't know if it's because of DJ Mikel and the influence or it's just like this is what younger kids are saying these days, but they say crazy every other sentence, dude. Like, that's crazy. Oh, that's crazy. Oh, that's crazy. Over and over again. Oh, we got two green lights in the road.

That's crazy. And we're listening to Maggie Rogers. Oh, Maggie, that, oh, that was crazy. Is that what DJ Mikel does too? Yeah, yeah. Like all the time? I was, sorry, I was letting you finish. Anyone else?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I would like to talk that way, but I'm not cool enough I've noticed myself a few times saying at this trip. I'm like am I gonna start doing it in my Gen Z. Am I cool? Anyone else just crazy. That's funny, right? I like the the idea next time at Whataburger I might my switch that out lottie HPC be on the Texas toast Courtney I know you have one would you like to come to the microphone? Okay. Happy birthday, Court.

Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. It is her birthday month. It is her birthday month. Correct? May 21st. Yes, thank you. Eat a candle, Maddie said.

Talk into the mic if you don't mind. Sorry. Okay, so this is an i don't buy it combined with anyone else and i mean no ill will towards this person but uh time ends mild time i don't buy it anyone else tell us tell us why tell us why okay i have had so many thoughts about this ever since you started ever since he's like yeah i going to start running a mile a day. So I guess a few weeks ago, it was his win of the week. He's like 6'15", 6'20".

I'm like, you're a homeschooled kid who's never played sports in a theater kid. If you are actually doing a 6'15 mile, start training for the Olympics. If not, that is wasted talent. But he's also running with his phone so his phone is tracking his mileage and he lives in the middle of nowhere he's also running uphill there's no way in heck this is happening and if it is i need to see it around a track okay i need like what's his name louis louis uh yeah louis chavez louis shop I need him to pace time in to prove this. Yeah.

Okay, so you're saying that phones may be inaccurate for stuff like this. Because I was thinking that was going to be my rebuttal. It was like, it's on a phone. That's his proof. I think stride comes into play. It has not. Maybe if he was seven feet tall, I'd be like, yeah. But he's not.

How do you know? He's got, never mind. But, so, last night when Jake and I were running, I was thinking about this in the phones, and I looked down, and I'm like, oh, we've run half a mile, let's turn around, and Jake's like, yeah, we've run.52 miles. That's exactly

what my watch said, and I know watches are not accurate, but ours were in sync. We have two different brands brands it's not a phone therefore i don't buy your watch said that your your watch said 0.5 to you okay we started at the same time same place anyone else like doubt that timing you know can be a high achieving person i'm just kidding yeah anyone else people are saying I did it before, but now I do. Now they're doubting it. Running our mile last night, I don't normally run that fast.

I'm usually doing like an 840 mile. It feels good, but I'm like, I want these guys. I want to push it a little bit. And at the very end, I felt like I was booking it, and it was only like a 730 pace. And that means Tymon's running over a minute faster. Scooting. Mitchell's saying, we need the video. We need some proof. Put it on Patreon, Tymon's running over a minute faster. Scootin'. Mitchell's saying, we need the video.

We need some proof. Put it on Patreon, Tymon. I think, yeah, I think I'm convinced now too. I'll just say this. I think Courtney's done a lot more exercise in her life than Tymon. And, yeah. I don't know. What do you think?

I think even in the moment when on the podcast when Tymon has said this, I've said something's up. Something's up. So I've already, the moment, on the podcast, when Tymon has said this, I've said, something's up. Something's up. So I've already, yeah, but I just like, yeah, let's see it. So we're all kind of on the stance of like, Tymon's not intentionally lying to us. No, I think his phone is lying to him. Tymon's just going to use technology. I would like to go on record and say I believe in him within like five seconds.

Okay. Yeah, because that is the thing, Courtney. Like, there's no way he's like way off, right? Like how much deviation could there be? I think because he lives in the middle of nowhere and it's satellite tracking his phone and everything. I don't know if he lives in the middle of nowhere. Just because we're in Kansas.

He talks about living in nowhere, but you just don't buy it. But if he is actually doing a 615 mile, I expect to see him in the 2028 Olympics. Okay. Okay. Can you imagine? Get him on a track. Get him on a track.

Four laps. And I will take everything back if this is true. Okay. I just don't buy it right now. I love it. I love it. Brandon's saying GPS works better when you're out in the middle of nowhere. There's nothing obstructing any signals.

Satellite critic. But maybe there's not a tower there. We'll use your talents come food season, all right? I actually don't believe that the phone thing, I think the phone works because I have a new phone and I thought it was an accurate, so I tried to like psych it out and like. But it like accounted for the fact that I was walking still even though i was trying to

just i just imagine hannah walking down the street like a psycho technology's too smart i don't know that's good theory just we gotta see it we gotta see it that'd be fun i hope we find out that Tymon has been this theater kid his whole life but is like a genetic freak like has you know 150% the lung capacity of other people like we gotta get him

in a pool we gotta get him on a bike like he's it's like in A Good Will Hunting where he's like I'm gonna be mad at you

if you don't use your talent we're gonna have to have that talk with him yeah like get out of here man but we're doing a Boston accent you're better than the studio

yeah yeah you're better than Shawnee you have an opportunity to get out of here, man. But we're doing a Boston accent. You're better than the studio. Yeah, yeah. You're better than Shawnee. You have an opportunity to get out of here. We said something like that. All of us have to be here. That's what we'll say to Tymon. Thanks, Courtney. That was good.

Yeah, that was good. Thank you. Sorry, Tymon, if you're listening. Who else got one? Come on, Gina. Gina. My son, he's seven now. But when he's writing with a pencil and erases something, he doesn't wipe away the eraser stuff.

He just writes over it. He just keeps it there? I want to know if anyone else doesn't wipe away. Anyone else use pencils still? That's the first question. Just kidding. You've got to get rid of the debris Sometimes he rides over it

He's stuck on the red Courtney's tires, it kind of does that It doesn't write Yeah, it's doing its job There's debris everywhere Also funny that it's about your seven year old He had a crayon when he was two and he hasn't looked back

I just wanted to know if anyone else has done that like if that's a thing no I'm going to guess no no one thinks it's sane yeah that's funny I think I just don't erase

I just kind of just cross it out maybe like nowadays yeah anyone else have anyone else here we go I mean Daniel and Maddie Daniel mean can scoot do I could not believe how I got it was yesterday yeah no so I like I do a lot of thinking about how everything is just connected and like how one thing affects another you know so sometimes I'm like,

what would happen if this really insignificant thing were changed? What if people couldn't taste? How does that affect the world? On a large scale. What food are you eating and why? Is it all health food? Is everybody healthy? What does that do? That kind of stuff.

Anyone else? This is funny you bring that up so in our car last night coming back from lambert's we kind of talked about this that's funny you just brought that up we were we kind of went through all the like i don't know some like serious disabilities this we we went through we're like all right let's start off with blind people and we talked about what it would be like to to be blind from birth you know later in life and then we talked about losing your taste and would you actually eat healthy because you like to think that you would eat healthier right but i

i also feel like maybe you wouldn't maybe you would just be more convenient to eat what everyone else is eating yeah do shakes or something yeah maybe you wouldn't even chew at all you'd just be all texture like i'll just drink my food what are your thoughts when you think oh sorry you're going sorry i think if nothing else i would be more excited about the texture because you can't taste anything. It tastes like water. The texture is the joy. The other incenses are enhanced, yeah. Yeah, like, oh, the warmth of raw carrots all of a sudden tastes good.

I don't know. The texture is the joy is a great quote. The texture is the joy. That's good. Okay. I was 35 weeks pregnant and had COVID. Yep. Like, intense cravings.

Couldn't taste them. So I just ate soup full of ginger, like ground beef, garlic, because I knew it was healthier, even though I was craving Zaxby's. But that wasn't going to benefit me. I had to spend, I don't know. I ate it because I knew it was better, even though I wanted something else. Okay, that's good.

So if you're disciplined, you can eat healthy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shocker. Even though you're craving it, there's no point. I don't, but there's something to be said. There's more to food than just the taste. Well, Ben had Chick-fil-A and he was like, this wasn't worth it.

I couldn't taste it. Well, that's Ben. No, I worth it. I couldn't taste it. Well, that's Ben. No, I hear it. I think you're right. I'm just saying there's joy in the texture. There's joy in the texture. Texture is joy. You hear me? Yeah, I like thinking about that stuff too, Daniel. And so does our car last night. I don't think I think about those things

very often, Daniel, but I'm going to because that was fun to think about. We were talking about this in the car. Let me just throw this on you. Would you rather be born blind, or you get to live 20 years of your life, and then you become blind? 20 years.

Because then at least you can be like, you know what XYZ looks like. Like, you know what the color of white is. That's exactly what I said. Is that what you said? I said the exact same thing. Like, I'd walk in here and be like, what's this room look like?

And you'd be like, oh, it has whatever, all the things. Big windows with a lot of natural light if you were born blind. Yeah. That would be a bummer. I would just be like, I think I can imagine that. Yeah, I think I got it. Maddie, you had anyone else? Oh, yeah.

This one's about Gabe. This one's about Gabe. Maddie, last night, I challenged her to name five Toy Story characters in ten seconds, and she didn't even say Buzz Lightyear, so. What did you call Little Bo Peep in the moment? Big Bo Bell. Miss Baby. I thought it was Baby Bo.

I said Blue Bell. Blue Bell, Ice Cream. I'm not good under pressure. Yeah, we're giving Maddie a hard time this episode. We love you, Maddie. Yeah. That was a loophole I said I found but this one I don't agree with this anyone else so I'm trying to see if maybe Gabe can

have some friends about this so we recently just moved to Hawaii and so we're trying to go to the beach a lot because we're from Pennsylvania we're not around the beach firefighters there in Hawaii sorry too soon oh gosh I googled it We were on the beach. Firefighters there in Hawaii. Sorry. Too soon. Oh, gosh.

I Googled it. 65% of firefighters are volunteers. Into the camera. Okay. Anyway. That's great. So we try to go to the beach, even at sunset. Gabe's out of work.

We'll just put bathing suits on and go to the beach just to have fun because we're there for a little bit of time. So Gabe just keeps complimenting his hair the beach, like, even at, like, sunset. Like, Gabe's out of work. We'll just put bathing suits on and go to the beach, like, just to have fun. And because we're there for a little bit of time. So Gabe just keeps complimenting his hair because he's like, man, the beach made, like, that hair. Like, my saltwater hair, it's just so sticky and curly. Yeah. And he just keeps saying it and saying it. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, it looks great. And it just, like, just keeps coming up.

And I'm like, Gabe, have you showered? And he's like, what do you mean? He's like, we went to the beach. And I'm like, Gabe, have you showered? And he's like, what do you mean? He's like, we went to the beach. And I was like, what do you mean? And I was like, Gabe, when is the last time you showered? And he's like, Maddie, we just went. The last three days, we went to the beach. And he was like, I don't know, four days ago.

He's been going to work, 12-hour shifts. And because he loves his hair, he didn't bathe. And I was like, Gabe, that's not the same thing. And he's like going to work 12 hour shifts and because he loves his hair he didn't bathe and i was like hey that's not the same thing and he's like yes it is so that's the does anyone else just think that like going to the beach just he does apply deodorant new clothes yeah yeah anyone else think that oceans are cleansing to you for kids yeah i i think the pool is all right personally as a guy maybe it's more than prevalent because i feel like girls maybe it's blonde hair girls or something like your hair will turn green from chlorine if you don't wash it out or whatever but wow yeah is that real hannah hannah's like yeah i've learned that the

hard way yeah um but i don't i don't agree with the ocean man i think i think you got like a residue on you right you feel like the ocean's clean i would do what gabe's doing but yeah i like the ocean like i don't feel clean afterwards. I understand. I don't think the pool is not... But the pool has chlorine. Chlorine seems like it's doing something. Brandon has opinions. Go ahead, Brandon. I don't think it's clean to you, but I don't think you'd be

like stinking. Like I think you could go work for four days and no one would think the wiser. And your hair would look amazing. Yeah. I'd get one for every occasion. Oh, yeah. Dude.

Dude. This is psycho. Dude, Jensen was telling me this about his dad. His dad has some funny things he says when he hangs up the phone. Instead of saying bye, he just goes, all right, dot com. Instead of calling people dude, he calls people Vern. Like, hey, Vern uh all these funny things but this dude this is a gunner duckworth move to a next level he works out every single day at night right after work um jensen's dad jensen's dad um and after he gets done working out in order

to uh save money on on water and laundry, the dude will go fully clothed and soak himself in the hot tub in all his clothes he just worked out in, get out, dry them all out in like the spinner dryer thing at the gym and just hang them up in the back of his car. Psycho, dude.

So psycho. Two for one. So the dude's wearing the same clothes every time he works out. They smell like chlorine and sweat. Like, he's a genius. Isn't that wild? That's like, that's how people live

who like don't have homes, you know? Like that's. Like when he started telling me this i was like oh he's gonna say he only showers at the gym respect like great you know but then he said he went fully clothed into the taku i was like he's not like super overweight why is he doing that you know um yeah it's like a body image thing yeah like put a big shirt on every day he's like i'm just not confident in my body so wow that's insane does the gym have showers that's a good question the gym oh yeah tyler said does the gym have showers soap costs money yeah chlorine's free chlorine's included in the membership

so i feel like there's probably more than just this. Has your dad done other strange things to save pennies and dollars? Yeah, come on up. This is Jensen. He's been helping out this week. He's awesome. He's leaving soon. So, like, for dry cleaning, you know how you have to keep the collars popped? He'll cut up old credit cards rather than paying like 50 cents.

He'll cut up old credit cards and slip them into the little spots right here to keep the collars popped. So he's good with dry cleaning. Dry cleaning is not too much of an expense. I'll pay for that. But those collar stays, don't you dare. Yeah, and the joke in our family is that, like, when he goes to Sam's Club, every time he buys a five-pound thing of mixed vegetables,

and he just gets it and puts it in everything that he does, and he'll just load up. If there's a week where he doesn't use it, there's points where we have, like, 40 pounds of frozen mixed vegetables in our house. He just goes crazy. Oh, my God. Yeah, he eats like he's somebody

that hasn't made a dollar in his life because he'll just eat Nathan's hot dogs every night on like wheat bread. No buns, just like wheat bread that he rolls up and honey mustard. It's just gross. He lives like a nasty person. He actually, he showers less than Gabe.

Yeah. So if you're wondering how Jensen got the way he is, just look to his dad, I guess. Big Vern. That's great. That's awesome. Alright, anybody have any more? Anyone else? Let's do one more. Rendell Weaver. Rendell Weaver. Rendell R. Weaver here with a quick one.

Alright. So, chips can motivate me to do about anything. Anyone else? Oh, sure. I knew Brandon would raise his hand. He feels like he would do about anything. So, I did a few things running-wise yesterday.

Tyler knows. Tyler bet me that he could beat me in a race with his backpack on. Was that insulting to you? A little bit. Hey, four eyes. I know how you need to raise 50 more pounds

on my back. So, I've always thought I'm fairly fast, but I knew that Tyler was really fast if he's putting that up. Yeah, Randall comes over

to me on the cruise and he like whispers to me, he's like, hey, have you ever seen Tyler run? Have you got like,

and I was like, I don't know exactly. I need a scattering report on Tyler. But I beat him, so I think at some point we're gonna have a rematch no backpack so i'm very curious how that's gonna go but then last night um i kind of disagree with courtney on time in running his mile because last night i beat my mile time by 40 seconds just because Rachel said she'd give me 10 chips okay um so I think I'm I don't know I think Tymon is legit he might just be a phenom I don't know yeah I kind of want to run with him in

person that kind of but I don't know so yeah Tymon was a backpack seven minutes four seconds wow and my best was 7 45 wow that's awesome's awesome. Yeah. Thank you. There's a Devo in there somewhere. Yeah. You know, this is also a funny part of Rendall's run. So I think Rachel told him like, if you can, as soon as we get back from Lamberts and you run a mile in under eight minutes, I'll give you 10 chips. So she's like, it has to be in the sevens. Like it's gotta be in the sevens. All right. To get to chips. And Rendall says he's running and he's getting towards the end and he sees he's like a 657 pace. He's like, oh my gosh to chips. And Randall says he's running, and he's getting towards the end, and he sees he's at a 6.57 pace. He's like, oh, my gosh, that's awesome.

And then he's like, oh, my gosh, Rachel said I have to be in the sevens. And so then he starts slowing down. What if she doesn't give them to me? Rachel will be a stickler on, oh, you just ran a six-minute mile? Too bad. I said it has to be in the sevens. You're too good. Sorry.
