Hello, Ghost Runners listeners. We are Jake and Brad. Jake and Brad. And Tymon. And speaking of Tymon. Tymon, say hi. Hi. Go ahead, Jake. Go ahead. Late last night. I'm up. I'm working. I'm grinding away. And I get a little notification on my phone. It says the Backseat Boys are going live on Instagram.

Oh, baby. And it's like 1230 at night. This is great. Remind everyone who the Backseat Boys are. So that's the thing is if you were just clicking on this live stream, you might think that these guys are really successful. I mean, they're showing behind the scenes of the setup tonight.

Guys, we got the key lights out. We got this Sony FX3 out tonight. We got these microphones. People are commenting, show me more of the gear. Where's time? And you know, these guys raving fans. At one point, Zach is shouting out his patrons. They don't have a podcast. This is Tymon and his homeschool friends who once a month get in Tymon's minivan and make fake podcast clips. And they have patrons. Anything is possible, guys. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

It was amazing. Buy our merch, you know. Yes, it was insane. I'm reading through the comments, or like you could just see the comments pop up. And like, I'm a patron. Love you guys. I was like, what have they done?

How have they done this? Who are these patrons, Timon? And what do you offer them? Random people. And we have maybe five paying patrons. All right it's a dollar a month yeah okay and they've gotten over the past like two months one video but i think now that we have now that we have like a bunch filmed i can like post bloopers and stuff on there oh that's what you get for a dollar a month one dollar a month you have five so now, the business is earning $5

a month. And there's four guys, so each earn a little more than a dollar. That's awesome, dude. That's awesome. These days, a dollar gets you really far. That's a good point. That's what they're saying. I just love

this tiny podcast. It's not even a podcast, but they have patrons and they're shouting them out. It's just like, I would love to just get on. It's like watching your pastor do a live stream. And he's just shouting out people who are like tithing or something. I don't know. Thanks for your donation.

Thank you. Thanks to the Booster Club over there. Yeah. Thanks to Phil and Gladys in the third row. You guys are consistent. Thank you guys. Supporters. Yes. You don't do third row. You guys are consistent supporters. Yes, you don't do it online. You do it in person. I like that.

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 Cause it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast Ghost Brothers Podcast Everybody morning, we're taking ground Ghost Brothers Podcast Ghost Brothers Podcast Happy Monday.

Hey, happy Monday. We're back. Like always, you'll never not hear from us on a Monday unless, what do we always say? One of us is dead. Nah. Well, one leads to the other. Yeah. Are you scared of earthquakes?

I don't think about them much here. Well, but if you think about it, do you think no problem or scared? I guess. I don't think about them either for the record. But then when I think about them, I think, I don't know if it's that bad. It's a, yeah, I was going to say, I'm not scared of them. But if I really think about them, it's like the earth has turned on us. And that is scary.

I don't like the feeling of like, there's no control over this. That's the thing. It's like tornadoes, maybe because we're so used to them, it's like, well, I can kind of get away from a tornado. I can go to the basement. You see it coming too. It's never like, what a beautiful rainbow. Boom, tornado.

F5. They're not invisible. Yeah, right. Now there's a horror story for you. Earthquakes are invisible. Yeah, or I was talking about an invisible tornado. That would be a fun thriller. Right.

The invisible tornado. It's filled with sharks. Sharknado. But yeah, and the earthquake, where do you go? They say to, what, get under your desk? No way. What is that? Just, I don't know. Yeah. Either way, the earth is moving underneath you, and you just gotta like, just don't be in a

tall building when it happens, I guess. Even if you are, just get under a desk. Get under a desk. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I remember back recently, Oklahoma's had a few earthquakes. All the fracking. Is that it? They've had like a 4,000% increase in earthquakes over the last 10 years. Don't look up.

Is that the same thing? I never watched that. I actually did watch it. That's funny. I just heard some climate something or other, isn't it? Yeah, they might have talked fracking in that movie. I don't know. I did watch it. I fell asleep. Okay. Which is what I was doing that because it's an allegory for what the earth is doing. You need to be woke brother. Yes. Yeah. Wake up. I need to wake up. Yeah. The, the, you know,

the radical right is falling asleep. That's right. At the wheel of climate change. The radical right is falling asleep at the wheel of climate change. The radical right. I don't know. The people who work for Exxon. Those people that are so radical, they've never changed their way in their entire life. But yeah, I don't remember much about the movie, but I remember... I can't even think of what I was going to say. I was like, there's that one song. You know.

I think Billie Eilish made a song for it. Okay. Well, what was I made for? Was that for that movie? What was I made for? Good guess. I think that was for Barbie,

but, Oh, I was. Yeah. She had another song. Was it called? Don't look up. I don't know.

Either way. Billie Eilish came out with a new album. Okay. I feel a little bad for Billie because I think she waited, I'm assuming she probably strategically waited like, let's give it six weeks once Taylor's album is out,

then we'll kind of release mine. Taylor's still number one. Sorry. Turns out if you record in your room with your brother, it doesn't do quite as well. Yeah. Go on tour to Europe

and you'll do better, Bill. I have, I have pulled through with Billie Eilish. I've never'll do better, Bill. I have, I have pulled through with Billie Eilish. I've never had anything against her music. You know, I like it.

And I went to listen to her new album. It's so quiet. You physically can't listen to it in a car. Oh, really? It's so quiet. Well, that's why I was

about to make the- Levels wise? Yeah. I was about to make the joke of like, I feel like every song is just kind of like, is,

is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is,, I've listened to like three billion other songs in my life, okay? So I don't know that much. And I don't know that much about music, but people who know music love putting on some nice Bose headphones, sitting down and being like, oh my gosh, the mixing, the levels, the breath work.

And I'm just like, turn it up. I came here. What'd you say? Yeah. You're the bad guy? Oh, I thought, the breath work. And I'm just like, turn it up. I can't hear it. What'd you say? You're the bad guy? I thought it was bat guy. I'm a bad guy. Bruce.

Gotham. Gotham style. Oh, that was it. That was her? Yeah. No way. She used to be Korean. That's right.

Yeah. She was Billy Korean, and now she's Billy Irish. Gotta be a good episode. Gotta be a good episode. Billy Irish. Billy Irish. Have you listened to her new stuff, Tymon? I have.

I listen, I think, to everything at least once through. Yeah. The two that I love are The Greatest and, oh, what's the one after one after it the bad guy i don't know what it's called but those two she does actually some like really loud belting in it and there's like a big like rock like i would probably like that it's great for the record i from what i do know about billy i think she's kind of i like her like She's pretty talented. Yeah. The fact that she did it in her bedroom with her brother producing it is crazy cool. I think that's so cool. That's the best part about it

to me. Also, the fact that her brother happened to be so good at it because he's won multiple Grammys for producing stuff. Who are her parents? What are they up to? I think they were homeschooled. Billie and her brother. That's cool. Dublin. right it was potato famine yeah all they had was just music potato famine that was like what the 1400s i mean it has lasting generational effects only effects. Only we could just grow a spud. Phineas, drop that beat. I'm the spud guy.

Oh my gosh, dude. The potato famine is so funny. I know two things about Irish. Dublin and potato famine. And so I used them all up. I got nothing left. Guinness. We got Blarney Stones. Gwyneth. Have you seen Elise Patton, who we like, talk about? She's trying to be one of the guys, one of the sketches she did.

Yeah. One of the fellas, like, hit the bars, sit down on a Gwyneth. What do you guys think? I like that she called him Gwyneth. Gwyneth. No, I saw the one about car detailing. You seen that one? Car detailing?

No, tell me that one. It's like they're just sitting around sitting around like three or four guys and her like one of the guys. Yeah. Yeah. You want to know where to get your car detailed around here? She's like, oh, I got the best guy. I got the best guy. You go down there. Uh, and basically she just doesn't understand what a car detail beats. He just, he just tells you everything

about your car. He'll tell you how much it costs when you bought it. Mine's Oh six Nissan Rogue. And, um, I forget the two point four liter. I forget, But he can tell you everything. And he has my car now. Like, what? He has your car? Yeah, that's what you do when you get detailed.

They take your car. They give you all the details. And then they just take your car from you. My favorite style of video she's done recently. You guys got to look her up. It's Elise, but spelled weird. E-I-L. Is it really?

Yeah. E-I-L? Yeah. Oh, wow. Tough to look up. Yeah. Get a stage name, Elise. Yeah.

But my favorite style of video she's doing now, she did it once and it did really well. And she did another one. But she is on a date and she learns that the guy she's on a date with, dad runs like Sky Zone. And she's just like infatuated by trampoline parks. That's like her character. She's like, so it's Florida ceiling tramps?

Wow. Wow. So do you ever just like go in there, Lynn and I, just plug your ox in and just enjoy the Florida ceiling tramps?

And then she's like, what are you looking for in a girl? He's like, someone I can like just like hang out with. She's like, hang out with? And like laugh with?

And then she did another iteration where she was on a date with a guy who runs a coke freestyle machine and thinks it's the coolest thing so it's like the the uh the character is not sky zone specific the character is like weird quirk about one piece of society you're just weirdly obsessed with that's so funny what do you think about a gene short short of a guy just like like a po POV, almost like just like a selfie, basically a video, but it looks like the guy is responding to a voice memo. And the idea is like, like where it came from is like, I've been voiced memoing people a lot recently. And every once in

a while, like you did it the other day, you just texted me back. Uh, like after I voiced memoed you, that sounds good. One voice memo here and there back and forth, back and forth. And I was like, ah, I can sum up the rest in text. Every once in a while, there's someone who sends a voice memo when they should have sent a text. Oh yeah. And I think there's,

that's a funny short of just like, hey man, yeah, that sounds good. Yeah. So yeah, thank you for saying all that. I'm good with it. I think that's,

I think that's great. As you described it. So let's just, let's just do that. And yeah, man. So yeah, thank you,

man. Yeah. Keep me updated, man. That sounds great. Let me know if anything changes. Yeah. Thank you.

But I'm good with what you said. I hope you're. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. There was one more thing.

No, I guess that was it. Yeah. It's just like, we're good to go, dude. I'm excited. 55 seconds of just like,

okay, sounds good. Basically. And I think, cause every once in a while, like I go, dude. I'm excited. It's like 55 seconds of just like, okay, sounds good, basically. And I think, because every once in a while, like, I'll do that. I'll be like, I don't know what I'm saying right now. Do you ever like get yourself caught in like these voice memos where it's like. The intro of this episode, dude. Yes.

Yeah, for about five years now, I've been caught in that. Yeah, why did I bring that up? No, 100%. I get, you know, I'm always like just scared to death of losing people's attention, whether it's a podcast or a video or even a voice memo. So like if I, for a second forgot my train of thought, all right, that's it. Get out of there. Get out of there. No one wants to hear you brainstorm on a voice. Yeah. So, all right. If I think about it, I'll text you again. Get out of here. How long is a voice mobile before you go? Oh, nevermind. I'm

not listening to that. Or maybe not listening to that, but it takes you a few days. Two sessions. Yeah, I would say six or higher. I'm going, I'm like, if I see this currently, I push the microphone away and go. Whoa.

Oh, yeah, you gotta take a step back in your seat. Yeah, it's like you gotta put your fork down. Six minutes. Whoa. Whoa. Okay, let's talk about this. Thumbs up. What's going on? No.

I regularly hit the four and a half, five minute mark. That's pretty long. I know. And all of a sudden, it's like, what have I done? I will say it worked out perfect. And I told you this. You sent me a voice memo. Yep.

On a day where I like impulsively decided to do my mile run. I didn't have shoes. I didn't have AirPods. You didn't have the right shoes do my mile run. I didn't have shoes. I didn't have AirPods. You didn't have the right shoes. Sorry. Yeah. I didn't have shoes. I had my $18.

She in shoes. Yeah. And I gotta say, Hocus, a little bit of an upgrade, noticeably different. Yeah. Yeah.

Um, but I listened to your voice as my podcast. So it was great. How long was it? It was like three and a half. Okay. So not bad. You know,

most of my mile. Yeah. I always like had the last time. Probably like, probably like, uh, Okay. So not bad. You know, most of my mile. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always like had the last 100 years left. Probably like, I don't know, like 75, 80% of my mile. So that was fun. Dude, I've been seeing a lot of TikTok. I looked at one TikTok ad and now I'm getting flooded with specific, like pretty cool looking $12 shoe on TikTok.

And I'm like, do I go for it? And you have some, yes or no? Yeah, they're great. Yeah. Cause you just look at them like they mean nothing to you. So if they even last a month, right. Like what great value for these shoes. That's kind of what I'm thinking. Cause sometimes shoes are like, you need them to function well. Like, okay, we're, we're walking a long way. We're, you know, we're in Vegas. We're hiking. We're going on up and down the strip all day. This shoe is going to see some sin. Exactly. Other Vegas. We're hiking. We're going up and down the strip all day. This shoe's going to see some sin.

Exactly. Other days, it's like, I'm just going to church. I just got to look nice. Got to have some nice white shoes. Exactly. And I like to buy my all white shoes at about $15 a pop. Because it's like, who cares? They got dirty.

Move on to the next. Disposable shoes. Yeah. Disposable shoes. But Billie Eilish is great, is what we're trying to say so that's fun um just real quiet yeah i was really close this yesterday actually jake to getting scammed really close dude i'm in the think about i can't talk all about right now with bondi but dude i've been on edge lately too oh yeah yeah um so so i think it's it the last time i almost got scammed was when we had that interview for the podcast.

That made me look kind of bad because that – That was what Joe Rogan wanted to have us on a Facebook podcast. Which role, I think – $4,000. Somebody sent us another one recently from New Heights. Travis Kelsey. I didn't see that. Jason Kelsey was trying to get us on there.

Still got my attention, I got to say. Yeah. I was like, well, maybe they're Kid City. I don't know. I gotta say. Yeah. I was like, well, maybe they're kids sitting. I don't know. I see our stuff. But that one in hindsight was like, okay, this is obvious. This one's clearly fake. This one, guys, I'm letting you, I'm warning you right now.

You know, stay woke. A less wise person would have fallen for this one. All right. I think time and I'll be judged. I still haven't figured out. I have not. They did not get to the point where they like asked for my money yet. So I don't know exactly how they scam you, but this guy calls me and he said, Hey, so

and so this is so and so I'm from the Johnson County Sheriff's office. Okay. That'll get your attention real quick. We live in Johnson County Sheriff's office. I don't, maybe I did something wrong. I don't know. Be careful. He goes, are you aware? I think he said there was a rest warrant or something like that

out for you for missing, um, jury duty, your jury summons. You did not appear to be on a jury. And I was like, I don't know what you're talking about. Like, no, I did not know that. And he's like, are you saying that you did not receive both of the letters that came in the mail? You're supposed to have them signed by somebody. I said, no. Right. At this point, I'm still like, no, I had no idea.

Yeah. You know, Catherine's in the room. I like put her on speakerphone. Like, do you know about it? She's like, he's like, is there anybody else that could have signed this for you there? I don't think so. He's like, I was like, my wife lives there, but I think she would have told me. He's like, yeah, this guy's kind of like, it hides like kind of like a sexist. Uh, uh, I don't know

if a government official would say this. He'd be like, yeah, I mean, if my wife was there, she would probably have told me about this, that she signed this thing for jury duty. Hey, mister. And I was like, okay, judge of my marriage. All of a sudden we have pretty open communication in my life. Um, but yeah, basically long story short, he was like, you need to come down to the sheriff's office, uh, and you need to like appear before the judge. You tell us what you did. Yeah. You've been over. We'll get you to appear before the judge and you need to pay a fine for not appearing at jury duty or something like that. Okay. The only reason I was kind of tipped off to this, I think the main reason was because I have gotten jury summons before and I've had to like,

just call in. Cause they, they send out however many, a hundred people like this jury summons and only 12 people or 25 people or whatever gets selected to actually go in. So you have to just call like on a certain day and they'll say, you don't have to come in or whatever. So I'm like, great. I think I've done this before. So I just Google really quick. Like while I'm on the speakerphone with them, jury summons scam, all of a sudden, like there's some stuff on Reddit. Reddit's a beautiful place for it. It's great. Random things like this. Um, and there's this thing that's like describing exactly like what I was going through. And so halfway through this guy's like spiel, I just go, I think you're

scamming me. And he goes, we are aware that there's a lot of scams out there. And that was a good response. He's like, he's like, we'll never ask for any of your money. Like, and he keeps going. I keep like, as he's like, just filibustering, basically, I'm just like scrolling through Reddit, like trying to like read. And finally I go, yeah, dude, you're scamming me. You're scamming me. I mean, and if you, if you are like, like you can just hang up the phone right now. If you're not like we can keep talking, but I just, and he just hangs up the phone real quick. That's great. But Catherine, I think is still like 5%. Like, are you sure that was a scam? Right. It's a sheriff. There might be a sheriff coming to the door. I was like, bring the police to me. He, I even said

like, uh, he, he put me on a brief hold at one point, a brief hold. Now let me put you on a brief hold. Sounded like a, that was so like George Costanza telling a story. He put me on a brief hold. Jerry, he put me on a brief hold. Jerry, uh, it was bad as Jerry. Um, yeah, he put me on his brief hold, came back. He's like, I just talked to the clerk and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And so then later on the conversation was like, what's his clerk's name? He knew immediately, dude. I was like, and what's the address? Had that, had it ready to go. And Catherine's like looking up. She's like, that's the real address. This is real. And I was like, no, they're just, they have something for like this, this call list of

people, whatever. Anyway, all to say there's a, there's a jury summons scam out there. Don't fall for it. That's good. I think the initial or the ending thing they do is they're like, you know, I have to say, there's a jury summons scam out there. Don't fall for it. That's good. I think the initial or the ending thing they do is they're like, you know, you have to come into the sheriff's office. And then they'll be like, you know what? Instead of coming in, how about you just pay it over the phone? That's a lot of work.

Yeah. Why don't we just do this over the phone? Credit card, no fees. Just give me your social. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We won't charge you any extra fees for the credit card. That's fun. It's not quite the same thing, but I had a guy kind of hang up on me abruptly

maybe yesterday as well. I'm just in the middle of juggling a ton of things right now and a ton of phone calls in the midst of just a bunch of work. I get another phone call thinking it's someone else, and he's like, hey, this is ABC Roofing. We wanted to come and check out your roof for you. We've been helping

a lot of your neighbors. Just give me this whole pitch. I can't even get a word in. I was like, dude, Hey, all right, I'm good. I don't need a roof.

I don't actually wait. How did you get this number? I've never like contacted you guys. He's like, we got it from the County records and we're just calling people. And I said, all right, well,

how about I won't, I won't bother you. You don't bother me. And then he hung up. So I was like, great. That was maybe a little too rude, but I mean mean it is it

just feels invasive any kind of telemarketer we've talked about this before yeah i can't believe it's allowed i can't believe they're allowed to sell you like to the device that's like on you at all times right right and this guy had my this guy had my address like the the the whatever sheriff's office guy are you the and i and I was like, yeah, that's my address. Yeah. But I mean, of course you can find that places and whatever, but yeah, it's just like, they have this information about us and I don't like it.

I'm ready to get off the grid. I'm going, I'm going full solar. Where's glide. We need glide to get us some solar. I'm going to build or grow my own food. We have you, you've been working on those Tripoli plants,

right? That's the kind of garden I want. Yeah. Oh, I hope they have a burrito garden of modern medical advancements. We can get to that burrito garden. It'd be fun to be off the grid. Like if you could do it,

I don't have the skills, but the idea of it is awesome. How, how far off? Like I want to be like 15 minutes off the grid, though. You know, like time and how close are you? You're even closer than 15 minutes. You're not off the grid by any means.

You have a neighbor that would see you if you walked out of your house naked. But like, yeah. That's how they judge grid level. Yeah. How far off are you? Right. But yeah, you're pretty close to places. Yeah, for sure.

I don't know. It's not bad. I was a good distance. Honestly, Rachel, I just want to move into time. It's house. It's awesome.

Oh yeah. It's the perfect house. Yeah. You like the neighborhood aspect. I, yeah, I think it's a perfect, that's what we really like is like,

yeah, you probably have 10 acres or whatever it is, but also you still have neighbors. You're not like in the middle of nowhere. Yeah. Kind of like it. Yeah. How many acres do you think you have? I think six yeah not bad not bad dude i took i've been sporkling

recently that's a funny kick to be on yeah just solo sporking yo yeah um late at night like that's like what i'm doing before i go to bed yeah are you big spork or little spork? Uh, depends on the night. Um, are you clickable? Are you clickable spork or fill in the blank? That was so funny last night. Harrison made me laugh really hard multiple times, but we were hanging out with glide. We could talk about all that later.

Hang out with glide from the Gulf shores trip. And I was kind of introducing, I was like, yeah, if you guys don't know, glide does like solar panel sales and everything. And you were asking, I was like,

do you do roofs or anything? He's like, no, we just do ground mounts. Harrison's like, when I get home, I'll have to ask Abby if she's in the mood for a little ground mount, ground mount,

roof mount, her choice. Yeah. I'm going to let her decide. He kept going on and on. It's so funny. All right. Anyway,

sorry. I'm no, what was I even saying? I don't even know. I'm sporking. Oh yeah. It doesn't matter. You, you said like 10 acres, six acres. Pretty cool? I don't even know. Sporking. Oh yeah. It doesn't matter.

You, you said like 10 acres, six acres prequel. I took some quiz and it was like, you just have to be close. And it was like all these different sports stats and you just had to guess. Oh, how to be close. Yeah.

Okay. Huh? So is that how it always will be? You think, or is it like, this is their first year. You got to go in for extra training. I think it's a little bit of that. Okay. Which is not the worst thing.

I think Rachel's like, well, this is my first year. I'm setting up a classroom for the first time. Even though I love summer more than anything in the world, it'll be good to get in there and be all set up. Wait, does she have a classroom? Yeah, she'll have her own. An office was maybe the right word. Yeah, I never did.

Counseling. Counseling. I was going to say therapy, whatever. The same thing. Yeah, I never went to that office. So I didn't know what it was, how big it is. Well, maybe it's changed. Hey, it's been 25 years, the same thing. Yeah, I never went to that office, so I didn't know how big it is. Well, maybe it's changed. It's been 25 years, Jake.

Okay. Mental health, has there been any changes to mental health in 25 years? I think they just prioritize it the exact same. You just get called a weirdo and go back to senior class. And get bullied, and it'll work itself out. You'll be fine. Natural selection. Still believe in that.

So that's exciting, though. Yeah. So she got a job. And so it's just fun to look at. You know, she gets a salary now. She is going to help provide. And we get benefits now. And I was trying to look through, like, the benefits package they gave her.

And I was excited to look at it. And I got to be honest, I didn't know a single thing I was looking at. And Rachel was like, yeah, you probably don't know know anything you've never had a job like this I was like I don't understand any of this a lot of initials in the health care system oh I don't understand any of them you remember any of them you know like ppo h hmo all that stuff I don't know what that is ppo I don't remember either yeah ppo dang I feel like I should know that one all right what about uh fifo fifo first in first out yeah I was asking you a business question PPO. Dang. I feel like I should know that one. All right. What about FIFO? FIFO? First in, first out. Yeah.

I was going to ask you a business question. What about SWOT analysis? What about SWOT smart goals? There you go. Yeah. Supply and demand. NASDAQ. Dude, I taught Hattie about supply and demand the other day. Supply and demand is a great lesson.

Supply and demand is like a fastball to change up. It's like people like to make things real complicated. If you just nail down a fastball to change up, you can be a very effective pitcher. I agree. If you just understand supply and demand, you can be a very effective business person. I was trying to,

yeah, we went and bought Catherine flowers the other day, randomly. Hattie and I did flower shop and there were, Hattie brought her money. She brought her purse, you know, whatever.

She was so excited to like, maybe I can buy some for myself. And they had stuffed animals there, but they were $20 each for these tiny little stuffed animals. And I said, Hattie, I'm not saying you, I, my, my whole like, uh, mindset for money is like, do whatever you want to do with your money. Like I want to teach my kids to like learn how to fail with their money as a kid. So they don't fail. I'd rather her fail with the $20 stuffed animal than a $20,000 car. That's a great way of looking at it. Like, and so I'm like, like, I want to teach her if she wants to get this thing. Great.

You're going to regret it next week. You know, kind of thing. Pretty soon. You can afford whatever. But I was like, Hattie, I'm just letting you know, that's a pretty high price for a stuffed animal. Okay. That's good.

And so then later on, she came home. She's like, why do you think they were priced so high? And I was like, well, Hattie letting you know, that's a pretty high price for a stuffed animal. Okay. That's good. And so then later on she came home, she's like, why do you think they were priced so high? And I was like, well, Hattie, you know, I kind of explained to her, I was like, maybe there's one an hour away for $5. Would you go all the way an hour away for $5? You know, you say $15. She's like, yeah, but that would take more time. And, you know, so we're just back and forth, teach about supplying a man. Anyway, it's a fun,

like, I don't know if she caught any of it, but I was like, that's called economics. And that is economic. And now you're economized. So that's pretty fun. There's,

uh, there's this little thing that I run by every now and then, or I drive by, by our house. It looks like one of those like neighborhood libraries where you just like, Oh yeah. Send a book, take a book. Oh yeah. I know what you're talking about, but they sell bread. Oh yeah. Bought some yesterday, buddy. by our house. It looks like one of those neighborhood libraries where you just send a book, take a book. Oh, yeah. I know what you're talking about.

But they sell bread. Oh, yeah. Bought some yesterday, buddy. Oh, yeah. Heart and soil. Yeah. Okay. I've been wanting to buy some bread, and I haven't. Heart and soil? Heart and soil. Nice. It's a play on words. We take the soul out of our company, fill it with dirt. Fill it with dirt. We got dirt in our heart our company has no soul heart though yeah we bought it we bought two different loaves from them it's pretty new um not that great uh well the first so we've had a little more soul they had they had like

grandma's famous bread that was good you would like that a lot actually it was like sweeter like just classic bread and then they had a sourdough loaf that i got yesterday was not impressed with the sourdough loaf so but yeah katherine was all about it she's all she's excited about you just go in there and you venmo them and just honor system just take it yeah i like that good for us good for shawnee good for shawnee they have sometimes they have eggs which i know you love yes um eat them raw that's right so yeah i was kind of excited it's just one of those things it's like yeah i'll support you know local i love bread local sourdough rachel makes fun of me uh every time we go into trader joe's i always get like a three foot long baguette i just think it's

the best thing to basically feel like i'm in in Aladdin or something Dude that's what in Spain we had What did they call them? Baguetas? Portuguese how would they call them? Baguish Baguish Yeah they Chardos

Their sandwiches were called bocadillos And so one of my friends also My best friend in Spain was also named Brad He was Brad too of course But he called called bocadillos. And so one of my friends also, like my best friend in Spain was also named Brad. He was Brad too, of course, because I'm Brad. But he called them bocadillos instead of bocadillos. Bocadillos. Dude, I got a great bocadillo today. But yeah, I mean, we just had those baguettes.

I mean, every single day, my host mom would just go buy fresh baguettes. That's awesome. It was amazing. I love carbs. Yeah, you dip it in the olive oil, you eat it. It was so good. I just love a baguette poking out of a bag. Also true. That's why they call them baguettes. Yes. Because it's in the bag, but not really. So it's a baguette.

It's extra. Extra. That's right. Bad extra. Bad extra. Read all about it. Yep. Heart and soil. So you just go straight up baguette yeah rachel does all the shopping and i say i'll take one baguette please make sure you get my baguette that's what i provide yeah um only when i go that's a treat i get the baguette it's like when you go with your mom like you get a donut all right you can have one um you have a pastry did you know at trader joe's they have those like walruses that you can find? I did not. Maybe it's just one walrus, but they hide it different places around the store. And if you find it, you get a treat.

This sounds like you're fooling me. This sounds like you are. Yeah, pull my walrus teeth. No, I think it's true. I forget what it's called. There might even be a sign up. I don't go to Trader Joe's very often at all anymore, especially since having kids.

But I know that back in the day, we went more often with Hattie and she always knows like, there's this thing. And I think there's maybe another thing too that you can look for and fine. So I've been to Trader Joe's twice, I would say in the past year. I don't go super often. Once was like last weekend on a Saturday afternoon,

and I've never seen madness like the Trader Joe's parking lot, town center. It was crazy. Town center. Okay, I was going to say the one on State Line, that one always, the parking lot there, always stressed me out. Yeah.

Just parking lots in general sometimes. And that one's not a rectangle. It's weird shapes, narrow. It feels like they took like six inches from every parking spot and stole it, you know, just to make it a little bit tighter. Portuguese style. Yeah, yeah.

But the other time I went to Trader Joe's, I think I meant to talk about this on the podcast. I was so just like, I don't know, off my rocker, bent out to shave out something, and Rachel could not have cared less about it because there was hardly anyone in there. And I'm looking around, and at one point, I still remember this. If you look like kind of by the produce aisle, by the vegetables, like that whole aisle on the wall, and then it wrapped all the way around to the bread, you could count, there were 11 employees in a row.

I was like, wait, you started looking like none of these people are shoppers. No one in here is shopping. there are 11 workers i just like all they all had like trader joe's hoodies on or a shirt on like confirmed workers and it felt like i was in like truman show or get out or something i was like no no these people are real like this is weird this is messed up yeah everyone in here is working but us am i what am i a part of right now and rachel's like yeah trader joe's they always they do a good job they always like really staff their stores like. It's like, no, no, no, this is different. This is crazy. Look at that 11 in a row. They all look like they're shopping. Cause they have like a basket and they're like

organizing or they're reshelving things. Like they look like they're shopping. But I was like, look, every single one of those 11 people in a row without stopping, they all work here. They're just trying to simulate that they're working to make it look like it's a busier store. That could be true as well. And you like around and have Rachel keep looking at it like, stop moving? It's only when I look back at them do they operate. They just freeze for a second.

It was freaking me out. I thought I was in some horror movie or something. I was like, I don't get why they're all here. This is just one aisle of the store. How many others are there? I know that they're, they're, you know, adjacent to Aldi in a lot of ways. And Aldi is like pride prides themselves on like zero workers. Yeah, exactly. You're in there by yourself. It's a hard soil, uh,

honor system. Um, no, but like, yeah, they only have like three or four workers, I feel like at a time. And that's, that's part of what makes them so cheap, I think. So, um, yeah, I don't know, but I, cause I know that trader Joe's like, they don't like ring, they, they ring a bell to like get somebody's attention if they need help.

Have you ever seen, Oh, haven't encountered that. Like if you're up at the cash register and they need a price check on something, they don't use the phone system. They just ring a bell. Oh yeah.

No intercom. Just bell only. So I like trader J's. Oh yeah. It's nice. It's only. Intercom. So I like Trader J's. Oh yeah. It's awesome. Yeah. Anybody that hates on it, it's because you haven't been there enough times or at all. Like I think it has a stereotype and then you go to it. It's like

no, this place is amazing. Great. Not that expensive. Not that expensive. For what I was expecting it to be. Right. Like I think I think it gets lumped in with Whole Foods. Yep. Whole Foods is expensive. Trader Joe's is not as expensive. It's not Aldi, but it's not as expensive. Speaking of great value for your money.

Whoa. What about MainStreetRoasters.com? What about, what about, what about, what about, what about? Does that sound right? Does that sound fair to link those two things together? I think so. I sure think so. I love getting all my groceries from Trader Joe's except for my beans.

Yep. I say beans are reserved for MainStreetRoasters.com. I say hold the beans. Please. I got a beans guy. No more beans. And girl. No more beans.

Brad, we are Oscar-worthy actors, apparently. You think? Have you seen the comments? Some. Tymon, have you seen the comments? I saw some of them, yeah. I was blown away by how complimentary people were

of our acting skills when it came to the raw, unedited clip of my dad fake cussing in the s'mores a couple weeks ago. Yeah. I was also very impressed. Really? Yeah. You were impressed by your acting?

Yes, by the acting. I think it's... Really? Did I fool him? You're kidding me. Wait, seriously, dude? You both... No way, dude.

Really? No way. Just what else can we do with our headphones? We only have one prop to work with. Are you serious? Yeah, it was great. Yeah, people are just so nice. I mean, like, there's a bunch of people

who are like, I can't believe I fell for this. This is the best thing. This will be in the 2024 recap. But then a good amount of comments that are just like, I mean, multiple people mentioning the word Oscars in here. It's like, you guys deserve an Oscar

because I'm an extremely skeptical person and you totally fooled me um the next person you got us so good also just go ahead and move to la to pursue acting because you guys deserve oscars for that performance i mean they also watch jean shorts right like they know that we're not that good at this we're not amazing at this at acting like some omg that acting unreal dead skull and crossbones emoji I'm dead um I just can't people are so nice and you guys are always so nice to us but that specifically I just I didn't expect you guys to be like to see the rock clip and be like the main takeaway here is just how talented Jake and Brad are I think the main takeaway was that they just don't trust

anything we say anymore there is an element of that building yeah someone posted joel i think posted in the facebook group is like anyone else pretty disappointed to hear that it was all just fake i was like dude get out of here but then there's all these comments like now i was honestly 100 disappointed i would be a little disappointed i think but at the same time like i, if it weren't the exact situation that it was, I think we would have just let it go. But it was literally like, it looked like now dad was a racist. You can't, you can't just let that be.

You know what I mean? I thought people would be relieved. Like, okay, good. Steve's not a bad person. Like anyone else disappointed to learn he's still a good guy. Right. Anyone else disappointed to learn these guys are intentionally funny. Anyone else disappointed? Yeah. yeah yeah i don't know i think it was just like it was such a funny clip the whole thing was so funny my dad uh came over my parents came over on sunday for lunch and was

just like hey what did what did steve say in that thing that was pretty funny he's like i was dying laughing on my walk the other day and i was like he actually didn't say anything he's like that's still really funny so yeah so yeah, I think there was still like an element of humor to it. But it's also hilarious to think that your dad's just like this country guy that doesn't know that this is a bad word or whatever. He just calling time in that word. All right. Yeah. Blonde headed people that word. That was the other thing. Yeah, that's the other funny part is that like even after he learns this is a really offensive word. He just throws it out time and he's silly little. Yeah,

and I think just knowing Steve, I just know that he he would just he would just anytime he met a ghosty from then on if we didn't reveal that that's all they would ask him. That's well, that's all he would think about right like he would just be like do they they probably think I'm this this they think I'm this

kind of person. That's like, yeah, they do. You know? Yeah, we had to clear the air. Right. Yeah. I'm surprised we took that long. Like part of me was like, we should say it right away. Yeah. Or like the next day or something, just feeling bad for your dad or whatever. But for five days, my dad had

to sit with the fact that everyone thinks he might be racist. Unintentionally, youally you know hey part of the bit yeah it happens but yeah that was fun ghosties are so nice all the time thanks for all the patreon comments yeah that was kind of a uh yeah just just a shock i was i was like surely some people will fall for it but most people will be like, guys, it was a bleep. Like, cause we bleeped out stuff before. Yeah. We've even been like, I'm going to bleep something out. Like, I'm not going to say anything bad. I'm just going to use the bleep button. And so I thought like, you know, if, if, if at most 50, 50, like, and

it felt like it was 95, five. Yeah. Maybe it was the vocal minority, but, um, yeah. And a lot of people looking at the video, like I'm trying to read his lips and I can't tell. Right. Like you could tell he's not doing anything. Yeah. Like, cause he,

he just didn't say anything. Yeah. What, what word? I mean, if I, if I go, yeah,

that doesn't really look like I'm saying much. Yeah. I guess that's true. Yeah. Yeah. Say some, say, say a cuss word.

Okay. Okay. I'm going to say one. All right. Ready? See? You can't even see my voice. What do you guys think Brad said? That's funny.

That was what I wanted to do the first time. During the substitute cuss words, just throw out an actual cuss word. Just to get our actual reactions. That's funny. Before it gets too late in the episode, I have an announcement. What's it called? Sweeping proclamation.

Sweeping proclamation. That's what I have. I am looking for some help with the Bondi Bowls. Looking for a manager. Holler at me. Okay. Just wanted to throw that out there. Don't move to Kansas City or anything crazy.

But if you already live here in town, email Casey at BondiBowls.com if you want to work the truck. Even if you just know a high schooler who wants to just work in the truck whenever. A little more description on it. Yeah, but looking for a manager just to help rachel and i out i think it's probably 20 to 30 hours a week i think main two skills we're looking for are like people person you know someone we could trust in front of customers day in and out and very organized to do a lot of the scheduling and the ordering and the inventory and just keeping the business afloat um so yeah, just someone we could trust

and someone to work closely alongside Rachel and I and just would love to have you in a fast-paced environment looking for ways to elevate your skills in a growing market. Yeah. What's the word? Like get it promoted quickly. That's not the right word.

Yeah. Opportunities to... That actually is true. That actually is actually pretty true. You know know what now that i've been no i am gonna like talk to whoever you know is like applying to be manager it's like hey the goal here is like i'm not as kind of as one truck forever i want to pop up multiple stores multiple locations i want to dominate kansas city with bondi bowls and so there are definitely opportunities to like hey get on the ground floor like you could manage your own store soon. This could very well turn into a very full-time thing for you. So growing markets.

Estimated start date? Two weeks. From this episode? When this episode comes out. Great. Yeah. ASAP is possible for the manager. So holler at me.

You have any sweeping proclamations? Sweeping proclamation? Nope. Not really. I love my kids okay kids are fun have have more kids they are fun out there if you're married have kids don't wait don't wait jake okay you want to say no all All right. We'll wait. All right. Two weeks. Okay. No. Kids are great. That's all I have.

I just love my kids. Sweeping proclamation. I was asking chat GPT to help me come up with really corporate sounding job description. Because I couldn't come up with it on my own. And for the record, I don't always like being with my kids. I'll be honest. How about that? Hey, how about that for anybody who's like, gosh, yeah.

He's romanticizing fatherhood. Sometimes, like, my kids sometimes bother me. Yeah. It's called being a human. But it's worth it. So just throw that out there, too. Way to sweep. Sweeping proclamation.

The smoothie bowl manager will be responsible for overseeing the daily operations of the smoothie bowl section within our esteemed food and beverage establishment. How's that? Smoothie bowl section. Yeah, you'll be on the smoothie bowl part of the truck. That'd be pretty funny to like, you want me to give you a quick tour of the truck? Everything you see is the smoothie bowl section. This is the smoothie bowl section. That's actually the driving section right there.

We call it the wheel. And yeah, this is our break room right here. It's actually the driving section right there. We call it the wheel. And yeah, I think outside break room right here. It's a passenger seat. You want to take a walk outside and show you the tire section. And then most of everything else, that's the parking lot section. We actually own that dining room. Yeah. Yeah. It's part of where you can sit. Yes. Smoothie bowl section. This role involves ensuring the higher standards of product quality, customer service,

and operational efficiency. That's a pretty good sentence. The smoothie bowl manager will lead a team of dedicated staff, manage inventory, and develop innovative smoothie bowl recipes to meet evolving customer preferences

and nutritional trends. That's well done. I like that. I would get pretty pumped about innovative nutritional recipes. Dude, same. I've never cooked a thing in my life, but I get excited if it's my business.

I'm like, let's make a, maybe a pitaya blend works really well with like Fruity Pebbles on top. Bowl of the month, Fruity Pebble Bowl. Do you have like a freedom to do that? Yeah. you remember like the mcdonald's the founder like dude i always found myself thinking about the founder so much last week and i like i am ray crock basically yeah even just like setting up the truck and like where the freezer is going where you're gonna blend that reminded me of the tennis court scene i was like this do you want to

go to this group i'll do it let's do it let's fake all right so this is the founder. Do you want to go to a discord with me? I'll do it. Let's do it. Let's fake. All right. So this is the smoothie bowl section. Smoothie bowl section here. Freezer. Scalpel. I'll tell you one part you would have really liked. And we could even brainstorm it out. Or you can give me your thoughts on the podcast. But so, yeah.

Rachel and I go down to Oklahoma City. Two full days of Bondi training. And at one point, I'll be honest. Hey, Brad doesn't like his kids. And I'll say something honest as well. There was a point in that training where i thought i don't i like my kids i know i was kind of waiting for you to push back immediately you're like yeah go on uh-huh yeah i didn't say that i was like i know you're i was like wait that's not what i said like that one thing like brad hates his kids like uh yeah brad regrets his kids i'll be honest i regretted investing in

in the same way that brad can't fall asleep at night thinking about the poor decisions he's made having kids i also briefly briefly had the same thought no um yeah there was a part of me in the thick of just like you're just getting on board with so much information. And in the back of my head, front of my head, middle of my head, I'm sitting there thinking, yeah, the medulla oblongata is in there saying, Hey, idiot,

you're a standup comedian and Friday pickleball is going really well. And you really love podcasting. What are you doing? You're the stupidest, stupidest guy. Um, and then of course you take a little break and your wife's there and she reminds you,

Hey, we're going to hire people. Hey, I'm here to help. You don't have to do all of this. And I'm like, yeah, you're right. You're right. And then you get into the fun part and you're like, all right, I'm back. I'm back. I'm in the fun part. One of it was being is like, here's our recipes, make the bowl this way, but you can call it whatever you want. You can design your menu, however you want. Like, do you want to have like set bowl items like here's this bowl here's this bowl or do you want to let's make a menu that's build your own bowl and i was you know so that's really fun mind if i float something your way jacob i have a few

things for your flow you go ahead no no float menu first uh no it's it's more of the delivery of the menu uh digital uh tv so that you could change it up all the time. You got a little flat screen hang up right there. Boom. Yeah. You could probably buy like an outdoor TV that you could sit out there and they're just the elements. No, I think you just,

you just, I mean, TVs these days are so light. Like you can just hang it up, take it out every day. That's a good point. Yeah. Yeah.

Just plug it in. That's a great call. And then you could like, yeah, you could have like, oh, Chiefs win the Super Bowl. Super Bowl. Travis. Don't even put bowl at the end of it. Just say Super Bowl.

I nailed it, dude. Dude, that's funny. I was trying to think of like come September. I mean, we got to have a Chiefs Bowl, a Taylor Swift Bowl, something. And I was really trying to think of the, I didn't think about Super Bowl. I guess that's not till February. Probably can't call it that, but. You can if you're a small food truck yeah in kansas

sue me sue me clark that's why i have an llc right you can only sue me for what it's worth right which is negative right now so please give me some money nice try best thing i come up with for uh chief sing is the travis kelsey oh kelsey sounds better than it's going to read reading it's going to be very confusing what i'm trying to say. I think that's, that's like the joy of being a business owner though, is that you can make people say really stupid things in order to give you money. All right. 25% off if you say the magic word. Yeah. Like every once in a while there, you go to these restaurants, it's like, I don't know how to pronounce this burger. Like, why don't you just call it a cheddar cheese burger like yeah can i get the

mount kilimanjaro kill him and kill him in yar it's a y yeah it's kill him in yar yo uh-huh yeah it's like okay i'll take that one please okay i'll take just yeah what you call that your burger um tv's fun though i like that idea because right now we're gonna have like some menus like up on the window but then like two big like a frame kind of like uh easel type things okay like the menu on them cool um and i i remember reading in one of my books that i read that people consumer behavior people like the sense of control yeah and i was like i even feel that especially as a picky eater like i would rather add things on and make my own bowl than I had to order something and then take off raspberries and take off bananas and add extra granola rather than just like telling you what I want.

Okay. That's a more pleasant customer experience. But I agree with that. But I also agree with sometimes it's nice to have set options. So we're doing both, brother. That's right. The big menus are going to build your own bowl. Those are the things you see first. And if you get to the window, then there's another

one, you know, eight half by 11 can't decide. Here's our favorite bowls. Okay. The Bondi, the, you know, the whatever. Kelsai. Kelsai. Oh, I think, I think part of it is like pretty pebble. Here's, here's, here's some feedback just as a consumer. Cause you haven't been a consumer ever. I don't think. No. First time I'll have been on the front end. I think sometimes I'll go to Andy or something, make your own concrete, but it's like, you know, plus a dollar for every topping or something. And so all of a sudden, I don't know how much it costs. Whereas like, I know exactly how much, you know, create your own bowl. Oh, this is granola 65, whatever, all these things.

I don't know how much that's going to cost. I know how much that Bondi bowl is going to cost. Yeah. So that's my, that's sometimes my thought is like, well, I don't want to accidentally spend 15 extra dollars on this bowl. Yeah. I'm not that much of an idiot. I think I would know if I was doing that, but I hear it. You know what I mean? Like, um, so there's, there's thought process there. You want to think through. Yeah. I remember, um, reading, maybe talk about this on the podcast, but in this book talked about how people love the sense of control. I gave a bunch of examples, but one of them, I think I did talk about this on the podcast. Most elevator shut door buttons don't even work,

but it's just to give people the sense of like, um, okay. Control over like, yeah, that they have control over the environment, their situation. It is funny. Cause it does feel like sometimes it takes three seconds. It's not even listening a few pushes, but then finally it does work like oh there we go okay i guess just a design one you know yeah some woman you know it's some job you've never heard of but yeah i mean the chairman of the elevator association you know something like that she came out and publicly said like we specifically designed these in the united states not to notice really um other so the actual thing that i thought was really fun that i was going to get your

your thoughts and your psychology behind his baby was like, all right, so here is like, let's talk sizes. Like, what sizes do you want to offer? And I was like, because we're kind of running through decisions pretty quickly. And I was like, actually, let's pause. This feels like a big decision. Not that we can't change it later. Yeah. But I think there's a lot of psychology behind the sizes that you offer. Okay. And agreed. So what I'm leaning towards is let's talk, you

know, bowls specifically. I think I want to offer a kid's one, a bunch of kids in that parking lot. Okay. Nine ounce kids bowl. And then Bailey typically sells a small, medium and a large. I think I'm going to remove the small. Oh. I think anyone who is going to buy a small, now they're buying a medium. You're just going to sell way more medium bulls. Or are they buying the kids? I don't think so. The kids is like really small.

Dude, I don't know, dude. I think anyone buying a small just goes up to the medium now. Okay, okay. Yeah. I think you're going to sell way more mediums. I'd be worried about selling too many smalls. Because Catherine out there,

the Catherines of the world, they'd be like, oh, that's plenty. Well, I don't know then. Then again, what's the size that we had the other day at my house? Small. Wait. Oh, wow.

Rachel's here. Oh, the, the bowls we served. Yeah. Those are the medium sized bowls. Medium. Yeah. Okay. You're right. Do you want to get a microphone or do you just want to talk out there?

I'm just kidding. Uh, so that's the regular size. Yeah. Okay, because that's like not that big of a size. Correct. Because I'm comparing it to nectar, right, which is like a big old bowl, which is probably the size of the other,

the large one for you. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Okay, then yeah, maybe you're right. If the kid's bowl is smaller than a small, and that's a regular, yeah, I think regular.

Or do you just go small, medium, large, and you call a small and that's a regular. Yeah. I think regular. Or do you just go small, medium, large, and you call the smaller kids bowl? Could do that too. This is what's fun. Yeah. Because I've heard before. What is it like if you want to sell more, you know, anything drinks and if you want to sell more mediums, increase the price of your large. Right.

Like it makes the medium have three options. The middle one's always the best option. Yeah. Yeah. For you and for them. large. Right. Like it makes the medium seem like a better deal. If you have three options, the middle one's always the best option. Yeah. Yeah. For you and for them. Yeah. Yeah. It's just fun.

It's like, it probably doesn't matter a ton. We're not McDonald's. Like these little decisions we make isn't going to like make or break millions of dollars. Sure. But it's still fun to think about.

I think you still learn good business principles. Oh, I mean, if you, if you, yeah, take a dollar off each bowl and you sell a hundred bowls a day and you, whatever, if you, yeah, take a dollar off each bowl and you sell 100 bowls a day and you, whatever,

that's $5,200 a year times 10 years, it's 50 grand. Times that, you know, think about kids, grandkids, and they take over the business. Yeah, sure, multi-generational. And then as long as you don't potato famine, then, I mean, yeah, that's a lot of money. I think you also have to think about Prairie Village. Prairie Village, where you're going to do it,

is just known for like the stereotype of Prairie Village is wealthy. And I think maybe they would be okay buying their kids a bigger bowl. But maybe it's not as much

about the price as it is about the size. Yeah. Health. Health and wealth. Health and wealth. So. Anyway, that's that.

Let me know if you want to work there. Yeah. What else did you, did you learn like physically about making bowls? Anything? Oh yeah. We went back, made bowls, made bowls for customers. We were like working behind the counter.

Oh, that was fun. So many ghosties showed up. Yeah. Bailey put some on her story like Friday afternoon. Like, Hey, we've got Jake and Rachel in town training. And then we were like behind the counter, like working at serving people. And I'd like yell out someone's name. Just like, all right, I got a bowl for Jesse.

And then someone named Jesse would come up and take a selfie with me. Like, oh, what's up? And we just like met a handful of ghosties. There was one, oh, I can't remember his name. I'm so sorry, dude. But there was one guy who his sister and I think his mom came by and I made them a bowl.

And he heard about that and he was at work. And so he just calls off work, drives 20 minutes away. And then when he gets to the store, he's out of breath. And I was like, dude, did you run here? He's like, yeah, a little bit. Yeah, I did. Yeah, sure did. And he was awesome. And I got to talk to him for like 20 minutes and I gave him a Friday pickleball paddle out of my car. I was like, dude, you're awesome. I don't know what I could do for you. I was like, do you want a bowl? He's like, no, I'm good. I was like, how about a paddle?

That's awesome. So yeah, it was really fun to see Ghost Runners. And I think some ghosties thought I was at the Dallas store because then I saw a bunch showed up there and the manager there was like, hey, people are asking about you. Hey, that's good for them though. Good business.

So what about like, just like physically making a bowl? Like, did you feel like, Oh, I was actually worse at that than I thought, or that was harder than I thought or anything like that? Um, did you, did you have a hard time like pouring it in there or I don't know, I'm not trying to act like it's like the hardest thing in the world to do, but I bet there is an art to it to an extent. Yeah. It's probably like anything. You're just using tools you've never used before, like a banana slicer. And so your first few times,

you're probably like, am I getting it all the way? Kind of awkward. But I would say most of what you're doing, like making and serving the food is by far the easiest part of the job. All right. So not too bad.

But it was fun. It was definitely exciting. And yeah, it was fun just like learning all these new blenders and how they work and all the different recipes and just being behind the kitchen a little bit. Yeah. It was a good time.

And yeah, trying to think if there's anything else. It was fun, dude. It's like being back there. It just smells like amazing granola. So it's fun being in the smoothie bowl section. They make it there? Yeah. Okay, cool.

Yeah, it's awesome. It's awesome. It's awesome. Fun, dude. So good little gig. I'm so sorry I have to interrupt this episode with myself. We have breaking news, breaking news. This just in.

Oh, yeah, he did um on the facebook group that's a fun memory that we haven't yeah i don't know that was like the first like thing we did ever really right the first time we kind of asked our fans to show up yeah anything that was

the first time i remember uh shout out i believe it was Michaela. We, uh, Michaela and Jessica came. They also came to Gulf shores this year. And I remember she was like starstruck for lack of a better word. Like when she met me and that was the first time I'd ever experienced that. And maybe, maybe the most I've ever experienced, honestly, like she was just like, like she was having a hard time, like saying something to me. I was like, hi, how are you doing? So that was the first time I think we'd ever met fans, right? Maybe you'd met them on tour some. Yeah, maybe a little bit.

But yeah, that was far and away the coolest first iteration of any kind of like Ghost Runners thing. Yeah, I guess the weekend before was when we actually first met fans. Was, you know, when we had the graduation cancel our plan, so we went to Oklahoma Joe's. Man, that was the worst. I still remember popping out of a scam call. Want to see what they're up to? Yep.

tikka masala eggplant what about you going with peanut butter crisp. It's from the office, Diamond. Don't tell your mom. I picked up on it. What were we talking about?

We were talking about the basketball game. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I was going to say, I still remember Trey and I meeting up to write content, write videos at Messenger Coffee, getting the email, your game has been postponed, scooting out to my car, and recording an episode of the podcast on

my phone, and then uploading it from my phone, and like, just, yeah. Emergency podcast. It's next week. That was the worst. Why do we ever try to plan anything? I know. I texted you. I just remember texting. Do you remember what I said? No. I just texted you, dude. That's all I said at first. I said, dude. And then I called you. Dude just remember texting.

And then I called you. Dude. Dude. Dude. It's all right. Look at us now, you know? Yeah, we got F12, Grande Boo.

Well. Gulf Shores. Gulf Shores well gulf shores gulf shores is in there seaside yeah and then they're all fun have we got an email back from that one company no we have not dang i know i know all right it's all right. Maybe we'll put it in post. Yeah, maybe they've already heard the good news because we've inserted it before this part. Yeah.

You guys know. If not, you'll hear it when we all meet up in... Sorry. I almost said something. They won't hear about it on this episode. You'll hear about it months from now. Okay. All right.

Let's see. I'm trying to think anything else. Also, while in Oklahoma City, stayed with our friends Grant Hudeberg, Lauren Hudeberg,

the couple we were supposed to go to Portugal with. Got your shirt sweat. Got her shirt sweat. And they are big fans of, like, reality game show TV like they love survivor

traders oh yeah we didn't talk about traders i don't know if they like traders okay what they did show me they were like you guys gotta watch this and so we watched like a half an episode it's called deal or no deal island have you heard of advertisements for it i'm like what does that even mean what is that i know i was is that? I know. I was so confused. Grant would like that trash. Like, ironically, but like thinking it's truly entertaining and hilarious. Yeah. Like I'm kind of poking fun of this, but I haven't found anything better.

Yeah. Like it's pretty good. Hold on. Connor Kelderman needs a text code. Copy code. All right. So it's just, it's the exact game show as Survivor. But just every now and then they'll like,

they make cases part of the challenges. Okay. It's like, it's barely even delineated from, like Howie Mandela is not a part of it. I kind of like that idea. Like take like the most successful thing. Yes. And just add your like tried and true brand to it.

It would be like Wheel of Fortune Island. Yeah. You spin a wheel. Jeopardy Game of Thrones. Who says no? The Office, The Voice. I don't know. Come on.

Why not? Friends American Idol. But I got to say, there was an element. I haven't watched Survivor in 20 years. So maybe this is just how they've just gotten really good at reality TV and everything. But I was kind of into it. Really? Yeah, it's kind of intriguing.

They've gotten so good at the strategy now. And it's pretty interesting to watch. But yeah, it's just like, it was awesome. They just, they cast it so well. I mean, there's a kid on there. I forget his name. Nick or Aaron or something. Oh, yeah.

Has one of the worst like he's a he's an adult but cannot say as ours to save his life okay and just a skinny little just like dorky looking guy yeah but he's paired up like his like best alliance in the show is with like a model and a macho like just like good looking stud of a dude it's just awesome seeing them like work together and like this show is Yeah, I'm rooting for these guys now, right? This is awesome. So but yeah, I just thought it was so funny. There's like, well, what if we just who didn't love deal or no deal? Sure

who didn't love islands? It's just survivor with a brand new name. Can I say who didn't love deal or no deal? Bradley David Ellis. Really terrible show. Terrible show. What is the what is the entertainment value of Deal or No Deal? There's no skill involved.

There's no... There is no skill. There's no interaction involved besides just... The banker. Just, well, but like as I'm watching it, the only two things you can say is, take the deal. Don't take the deal.

Like compared to every other show, it's like, it was so boring. It was completely like beautiful models with brief show it's like it was so boring i think it was completely like beautiful models with briefcases that was it you just put yourself in the shoes of the contestant i think it's just 100 exactly what are the two options of the contestant deal no deal no deal howie i just i mean it was an hour long and people were just like this is great yeah when you put it like that uh there's not a whole lot to it, but it was successful. I know.

People liked it. I don't. Yeah. Like I said, why? What's, what's so like, I don't know. And maybe I haven't watched it enough. Maybe there were like little like twists and turns, like actually like you get a extra, extra chance.

He's not a real banker or whatever. That was a lie. Or, oh, you, you got that wrong, but you can answer this trivia question to redeem. Get your deal back. You ever seen this show, Timon? You know what it is? No. So it started off with like,

there's 25 cases, brief cases full of like a monetary amount in there. And if you're the contestant to start off, you pick a case. So which one would you, let's just do it right now. Which case do you pick, Timon? Wait, can I?

Yeah, go ahead. I bet I can find one online to play. Yeah. I guarantee you we go to David Buster's. A number through like one through 25 case do you pick, Tymon? Yeah, go ahead. I bet I can find one online to play. Yeah. I guarantee you we go to David Buster's. The numbers are like 1 through 25, is that what you're saying? Yeah. This is your case. Oh, for sure 21.

For sure 21. See? And they probably know. That's the other thing. They've done enough data. Yes, dude. Of course they have. No one picks one.

People pick seven. They pick 13, to be ironic. They pick even number. They pick 25. Yeah. All right. Time to pick 21. You found like a dealer no deal simulator. Choose six cases. Yeah, that's right.

Go ahead. I did meal or no meal a lot at Canacook. Okay. And what are the awards? It's from what to what? Looks like on this one, one cent to $1 million. Okay, timing. So pick five more. And what you're doing, you're picking six cases to eliminate sorry timing can I pause real quick can you search copyright

That was something else. So that is Dealer No Deal Island. I would watch that, I think. I think I would watch that. You should try it. They always have them at Dave and Buster's and stuff. And you're doing that with tickets. Electric with tickets.

That's fun. That's fun. Yeah. Our friend Peter Casey, I think, won the million dollar or something last time we did it. Or he got $1. Something hilarious happened. Oh, yeah. I can't remember.

Anyway, that's Deal or No Deal Island. Let's see. Yeah, I guess we're going to put in that other ad read. We'll put it in post. Hope so, yeah. Yeah, it was in there. Yeah. It's in there.

Okay. The island just reminded me, I don't have a ton to say about this, but did you see that headline of the guy who was the man who was stranded at the Kansas City Zoo all weekend? No. I don't have the article in front of me now,

but I just wrote it down in my notes. Yeah, some guy was at the zoo this weekend, and him and his buddy, when he left, his car was stolen. Oh. But he lives in like St. Joe or something. I don't know. He said it was going to be like a $300 Uber.

So we just stayed in the zoo. I was like, how am I going to get home? Max Grace said. I had no car. We were basically stranded. Yeah, he drove from St. Joe. We asked security what the best option was. If someone could take us to a bus station,

it was $250 to Uber to St. Joe. We asked security what the best option was. If someone could take us to a bus station, it was $250 to Uber to St. Joe. That is so funny. I was kind of angry and upset, Grace said. Yeah, sure. Can you imagine? That'd be like night at the museum, but night at the zoo-seum. Like the animals come out to play.

Yeah, there's a fun element to this and a bad element to the bad element. I don't know if you can see the article but this the zoo does have security cameras in the parking lot but they don't work dude how how hard is it to make security cameras work it just seems like that should be like almost required like you have to have this almost like legally yeah like they should get fined for that or something. And they tried to blame it on like the city of Kansas City. Like, well, there was a data hack a few months back so our cameras haven't been working. And then I guess the city was like,

no, it's working. Your camera should work. So that's a bummer because his camera, his car was directly like where the camera is facing. So I think he was like, well, I mean, at least that camera's there. So that's a bummer. The cameras don't work.

But good news, a night at the zoo-seum. Night at the zoo-seum would be sweet. Spooky, but what a unique story that only you are experiencing in all of the world. Okay, do we want to go, which scenario do we want to go down here? Do we want to go down the scenario of spooked? Just straight up, you were the only one in the zoo?

Or do we want to go just, and the animals are normal animals that you're just interacting with normally zoo or do we want to go that just and the animals are normal animals that you're just interacting with normally or do we want to go with the idea that animals can get out animals are friendly they can speak English and they talk to you I thought that's where you're going I thought

you're gonna say like a toy story situation yeah like once everyone leaves there's up on their hind legs walking around yeah shaking hands with each other. Yeah. Do you see that? Yeah, that lady over there today. I slept all day.

Right. Kids came for miles to see me. It was amazing. I just slept. I just napped. I think it would be so fun to do it with someone else. If you're in a zoo by yourself,

you're going to get freaked out at every little noise. You've got to tell yourself, no, they're in their cages. This is how it works. Yeah, true. But you'd hear a lot of noise. You've got to tell yourself, no, they're in their cages. This is how it works. Yeah, true. But you'd hear a lot of noises. You think?

I don't know what the ambient lighting situation is at the zoo after dark. I don't know if you hear that many noises. If you're just in a general concession area, you're not hearing just elephants braying in the background or anything. That's true. Whoa, elephants. What was that verb? Bray.

Cool. Is that right? I don't know. No, you're probably right. I thought that for a donkey. Frick, it is donkey, isn't it? I believe you. I was just trying to learn. I'm looking it up now. Braying. Bray. A donkey or a mule. Oh, it's like the sound that they make.

What do A donkey or a mule. Oh, it's like the sound that they make. Elephants trumpet. Elephants do other things. Elephants. Oh, that tickled. Oh, did it tickle your nose? My nose and my eyes. Wow, that tickled my lips.

Elephant Bray doesn't come up with a whole lot of things. So thanks for calling me out, Jake. I honestly was trying to prop you up. And I was like, that's a cool word. I don't know. It sounded good coming out. Did stuff like that. But yeah, you're right.

You hang out at the concession area. Maybe you steal a couple Coke Zeros. Yeah. What if it's all turned off, though? No, I think if the animals were friendly, I would assume the most social animal would be... White tiger? Probably the white tiger. But the most fun animals would be...

Like a baby chimp? The penguins. Right? Those penguins, you think they need to be in cold weather, but they're like, no, we'll go over to Africa. This thing, it's like a, yeah, we're fine. We're fine. We love it here.

For a night, yeah. Like, yeah, they need more sunscreen than the African animals. On the white parts. Right, but like, they'll be fine. And yeah, they have a cookout. The lions are incredible at cooking. Yeah. It's all herbivore stuff, right?

Oh, a little of both? Like, they don't want to have like a wait what's what's uh what's plants wait omnivore is both herbivores plants sorry yeah you got it you got it bray uh bray bray bray bray bray queen um yeah because they don't want to be like yeah we're cooking up you know cecil's cousin you tonight. Yeah, it's all plant-based. It's all salads, good salads. Yeah. And yeah, the Lions host a mean party. I like to think they still have a similar

rivalry as they do in Lion King. The hyenas, not invited. No, no, no. I should know if I've ever seen a hyena. Are they zoo-based? We might not be able to catch hyenas. They seem angry. We can catch anything.

We're freaking the alphas. You're right. We can do whatever we want. Net. On this earth. I don't know if I've seen a hyena, though. We're not putting hyenas in zoos. There are certain animals, it's like, you're not a zoo animal.

You're not fit for a zoo. You're going to scare the children. Hyenas are just ugly. They're terrible. They're ugly looking. Yeah. Lion King made them look a little cuter than they are, from what I remember. Yeah. Did they? got to scare the children hyenas are just ugly they're terrible ugly looking yeah lion king made him look a little cuter than they are from what i remember yeah did they ed i don't know how cute ed

was ed hyena let's see what hyena looks like it's once they open their mouths they get pretty yeah you're right because this first picture okay, not bad. Not as bad as I remember. Then they kind of like hiss at you, and it's like, gosh. They start braying, and blah. I was kind of picturing the ones from the live-action Lion King, that they made them look a little uglier than they would make. Oh, I see. Wow, baby hyena?

Pretty cute, but just honestly looking like a baby lion or something. Kind of looks like a dog. No, I contend they're still nasty looking. Either way, I think it'd be fun. Bloody hyena. It'd be very fun. Wet hyena. Hyena, no fur.

It'd be fun to say you did it. Don't look up no fur. I actually won't. I don't want to. Timon's going nuts over there. I don't like to. Timing's going nuts over there. Oh, yeah, you're typing. She's don't like any of it. Oh, Jake, you said baby chimp and that made me think I watched the

first of the new Planet of the Apes movies and just like to see how they were. Yeah, I like it. I'm invested and I want to watch the rest of it. Really? Wow. We're missing out. Maybe it does feel like most people that have seen it like him, but like you start to hear people talking about those movies. It's like they're good enough to be like people like them,

but they're not critically acclaimed really. So you don't hear about, oh, you got to watch this. Sometimes, though, those are the sweet spot movies. Yeah, that's what I found. I loved it. So many of my favorite movies are not critically acclaimed movies, I think. Uh-huh. Tommy Boy.

Great. Tommy Boy. Great. Incredible movie. It's not critically acclaimed by anybody. It did not win a single award. You know? Yeah. Good point. That's fun.
