Rachel and I are still making our way through Parks and Recreation. Making our way through Parks and Recreation. Tom Hafford, Leslie Knope. Ba-da-da-da-da. Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Go ahead. I feel good today. Watch an episode, yes.

I feel good today. Stur-day. And had a... Nah. Watch an episode yesterday. How would you combine the Parks and Rec theme song with Vanessa Carlton? You can't. Well, I guess you could do the Vanessa Carlton words with the Parks and Rec.

The Parks and Rec theme song is like... So you can't do it. Making my way downtown. Walking fast, face the path. And I'm about seven. But loved a couple things yesterday. One, I watched the hunting episode. Bula, bula, bula.

Yeah. So good. That was like one of the first ones I'm like, this is a pretty funny show. Yeah, really funny. Just like the pantsing. And at the very end of the episode is Ron looks at Leslie and says, you're a pretty funny show. Yeah, really funny. Just like the pantsing. And at the very end of the episode is Ron looks at Leslie and says, you're a stand-up guy.

And the way she smiles back at him, Rachel and I were joking, that sounds like something we would say to each other. As often as we were misgendering each other. Like, hey, what's Bud up to? Oh, he's just on his phone. You know, Grandpa. But the part I really enjoyed was the

while that's happening in the hunting episode um what's her name the andy and april april yeah get to hang out with each other uh those scenes are so funny oh yeah so when they're trying to do like fake spit takes which is what we did last episode which is pretty funny uh it's so funny like because april's so good at it like i'm pregnant and it's not yours and then Andy will do like a spit take his best and then she's like alright you try you try and he's like

what do you mean the squirrel took nuts out of that kid's backpack Backpack. Thanks for doing that for the podcast. I didn't think it was going to be that uh messy but uh-oh oh i do i think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white me too midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost all right brad's feeling it today guys welcome back All right.

Brad's feeling it today, guys. Welcome back. I feel good, guys. Thanks for listening. Tell your friends. Come to Branson with us and check us out on YouTube so you can see how much Brad spilled. Show them, Brad. Show them, Brad.

I have heard told. Sorry. Let's talk about parks right here. Have I ever told you the story about take it, Brad? What's that about? Okay, it's an inside joke from camp. For whatever reason, one time we had this girl who everyone... There was this guy...

You keep talking. I'm going to see if the vent's open. There was this guy, a dad of a camper, who is the director, the producer, whatever, for Mercy Me. It was like a big Christian radio... I Can Only Imagine. I think he was like, yeah, they produced this little song called i can only imagine i think this guy's doing just fine and there's this guy that he he brought in this girl

her name was mariah peters ever heard of her i've not okay uh he was like this girl's the next big thing in christian music she's gonna be huge and I'm just trying to like tour her around and get as much publicity as possible. And so what's the best. She changed her name to Tori. To Tori Kelly. Yep. Yeah, that's right. Everyone wants us to talk about it.

Yeah. She changed her name to Tori Kelly. But yeah, Mariah Peters came. And the best way to get publicity is to sing to, you know, 150 like elementary school kids. Yep. Yeah. Pass out DVDs. But and so the idea was like, hey, we're going to have Mariah come and sing during our K-Life

one night. And I'm in charge of K-Life. I'm in charge of the music at K-Life, whatever. And so I was going to sing with her for one of these songs. How lucky are you? Yeah. What song do we sing? Maybe, maybe our God, our God is great.

You know, whatever. Something like that. And then a few other songs. But at one point, I mean, this is what's so funny. We were singing. I was playing guitar. I think she played guitar, too. And out of nowhere, without planning it, this is classic timing. Imagine just as a performer, she's just playing.

And then she just goes, take it, Brad. And I'm like, I was not ready to take anything. Take what? At what time? For how long? Take it, Brad. And I'm like, well, I was not ready to take anything. Take what? At what time? How long? Take it, Brad. And so then I just had to like play this song that I didn't really know the words to. Like I was not prepared. It was not our God. It was some other song that was like, yeah. Yeah. So take it, Brad makes it seem like you got to start doing something twice as fast, twice as hard. I got to pull out ajo or something. Oh, yeah. And so to this day, first of all, it's just hilarious that we like pandered to this like

21-year-old girl who's like the next Lauren Daigle. Whatever you want. Whatever. And like also, yeah, out of nowhere it was like, take it, Brad. And I was like, take where? Take it back. Where am I going with this? So you enjoyed that feeling so much. You were like, when I have a podcast, our producer.

Vengeance is mine. Time kind of reminds me of Mariah Peters. So anyway. It's how you get her back. I don't know what she's doing. Maybe she's still making music. Maybe she's listening to this podcast right now. Take it, Mariah.

She was sweet. But it was one of those things where it was like, what is happening? What are we doing here? And I mean, it prepared you to be a great improviser. Yes,er yes and yep i will take it and yeah i will take it away and so oh anyway parks and rec yeah just great just really enjoyed that scene yeah it was just so funny it's just i could just imagine chris pratt having 20 different alt lines in there of like things that don't actually get to a punch line right and i look forward to seeing those bloopers someday dude i think it's about to get so good really i know you're already like it's good yeah of like things that don't actually get to a punchline. Right. And I look forward to seeing those bloopers someday. Dude,

I think it's about to get so good. Really? I know you're already like, it's good. Yeah. But like Andy and April, a great, a great plot.

Like that's a, that's a wonderful part of the show. Uh, and I just think that episode. So the idea of the episode timing is that they go on a men's hunting trip, but then Leslie and the girls come because they're like, you can't just go on this men's hunting trip for work. And the scene where Leslie, I think, shoots something without Ron saying anything.

That's pretty funny. Without her telling Ron about to shoot. That's hilarious. And then there's this idea within the show of like anytime you shoot something, somebody else across the field yells, boola, boola, Bula, to be excited. The guys do this.

The guys do it. And then Leslie shoots something, and you hear A.N. yelling across the field. And that's just the most, I just know I've been there with girls like that. You know what I mean? It's just so funny when the girls are like, I'm one of the guys, Bula, Bula, Bula. And it's like, you didn't do anything wrong. But at the same time, it's like, ah, it's just a guy thing.

And that's the whole episode is the tension of like, guys have always done it this way. Oh, OK, we'll do that then. It's like, well, I don't want you to do it like how we do it. Right. And I think Amy Poehler even has some line in there. He's like, and if I know guys like I think I do, they love when girls try to do something that they love better than them. Yeah, exactly. He's like, and if I know guys like I think I do, they love when girls try to do something that they love better than them or something like that. I love the part where she's chewing like tobacco and Tom's like, Hmm, it's getting kind of queasy in my stomach.

Did you swallow that? And he's like, you need to go throw up right now or something. And she's like having it in her mouth. She's like, I guess that's why I call it spit and not swallow. Am I right, Ron? He's like, you are right. So that's a great episode. Great episode. April wants to make Anne jealous of Andy. Everyone's got an A name. Yeah. And so she's like, hey, what do you think about me giving you a bunch of higgies on

your neck? And Andy's like going back and forth. I don't know. And then she convinced him like, you know what? Let's do it. I'm going to go sanitize my neck. And runs out of the room that was a funny line

right so many he like makes that is it him is it that episode where he makes up the song to the hold music yeah

yeah a little bit I think it's a Phantom of the Opera song I include you in this conversation I mean you get it you're one of us you're not thespian style

so anyway fun time Tymon speaking of you tell us about this weekend. It was great. I think I kind of alluded to it last week, I think. But it was just like a kind of a video photo job combined with it.

It just turned out to be like kind of a little fun trip slash vacation, but with like some videos and photos. It was for Mariah Peters, right? Yeah. Yeah. The next big thing. Um, but yeah, so it was just like a worship leader friend. I know, um, was like flying his, his band out to do like this worship kind of festival thing in, uh, Croquette, Minnesota. Oh no, no. Cloquette. I'm not sure. Cloquette. Somewhere close to Duluth. Anyway. How do you make a magician a little bit easier to get his parabolas hidden? You Cloquette. Great.

That was nice. Take it, Tymon. Oh, I'm glad I didn't have any water in my mouth when he said that. But, yeah, it was just like a fun time just kind of getting to hang out with like all these guys that are like older than me and just like Christian guys and hear them talk about stuff. You don't do that very often.

Yeah. No, I'm just kidding. We were there Friday through Sunday, but like Saturday evening was the main like event so just a lot of like fun hanging around seeing the sights in town stuff like that um and then the actual evening of it was like a some kind of uh worship festival with like three different bands like go fish like a kids worship band or something like that they were doing something kids jam band maybe instead of just fish yeah right go fish it's just one big song brother yeah uh yeah took photos and videos then

um but i think the probably the main big memory of it was uh coming back home on sunday we kind of it was just kind of like collectively everyone's fault and no one's fault of like planning for getting to the airport. Uh, and so like basically this whole, like three out of the, or like four out of the six people on the trip are like very much like coffee snobs and like, they love their, like to try different coffee shops.

Christian worship leaders are coffee snobs. Really? Oh, shocking. Wow. Okay. They also micro brew or what? Uh,

and then see how we like kind of on our way to the airport which is like two and a half hours from Duluth we like stop at a coffee shop we're just like kind of taking our time then it's like once everyone's kind of getting at like in back into the van we rented um we're like we're not gonna make it we're we might miss our flight like did you ever take this like earlier I I think that i was kind of just like so much of the kind of just like tag along guy i was like i i was not really thinking about it much at all i'm sure they've got it like they've got it figured out yeah uh and they hadn't quite thought it through or like also i think there was some aspect of it was like they just the way the time of the flight leaving

was it was like 4 59 so it, Oh, maybe you round to five. Then I know it's a 59. Maybe we're thinking it's an hour later. Like, I think that could have been, maybe it's five 59. Yeah. That's,

that could have had something to do. I don't know. But anyway, no, I don't think so. No, good. Uh,

so it was kind of like on our, uh, two hour drive, we're just planning how we are going to most efficiently make it on this flight. Cause our ETA flight leaves at four 59. two hour drive we're just planning how we are going to most efficiently make it on this flight because our eta flight leaves at 459 our eta is like 4 28 or something like that and you're in a rental and we're in a rental van oh this feels impossible four people have to check multiple like large it's like guitars and uh and cymbals what uh delta okay and then so you like that answer it's a nice airline yeah it

doesn't make anything faster but hey if you get on the plane it's nice but basically we're just like the whole time we're just kind of scheming like how like you'll go here well we're all gonna like do our thing as fast as we can and then like justin's gonna go drop off the van as fast as he can get get back here uh anyway so I had one of the easiest jobs, I think, because I didn't have any luggage I was checking. And I don't know, I guess I just didn't have to do that much. But there was still like I go in and there's like probably 100, 200 people in like the security line. And I'm like, I don't have TSA. I don't have like there were two of us that didn't have any like TSA clear pre-check bummer and so uh i'm just standing there probably like four or five minutes go by and each minute

i'm like we're moving 10 steps it's not happening it's so long like this is not happening so i finally uh work up the courage to just like ask a guy i was like wow my flight's leaving yep way too soon can i just like skip the line and he's like uh can i see your boarding pass so i showed him he's like okay you can go ahead so i was like like, yes. So you asked a TSA agent, like, hey. Yeah, it was like a, well, the line right next to us is like the clear slash faster one. So there's some employees there. I was like, hey, can I go through this? So yeah, I just went through the faster one.

Good for you. So that took some, like, at first I was like, am I just going to have to maybe just keep asking people if I can cut in front of them? I was going to say, that's what stakes have to ask. That sounds so much worse. Because all it takes is one person to say no. Yeah, exactly. And then you're like, well, please? Yeah.

I don't know what else to say. Yeah. But then, so it was like, I mean, I couldn't imagine what the other people were going through, just like sprinting through the airport. Like, finally, like two, maybe three or four of us are on the plane there's two people left um and then they make it on and they're like drenched in sweat because i mean and yeah but it was like probably 10 minutes till takeoff they like basically we had planned the first person that gets to the gate just like beg them like can you make sure you hold this i have

five friends coming. Yeah. They're running as fast as they can. But yeah, the plan worked. Wow. And we made it. Wow. That's shocking.

Pretty miraculously. It was like, yeah, it was crazy. We had all pretty much come to terms with that. Like we'll probably end up having to fly home tomorrow. Yeah, you're looking at the next available flights. Or like either that or rent a vehicle and drive six and a half hours home that evening. Was this the MSP Minneapolis airport?

Yes. Should I had you look for my bag? Oh, did you remember to get your bag off the plane, Tymon? Yeah. There wasn't any extras. Like when you took yours off, there wasn't one right next. Maybe it was the same plane. You never know.

Yeah. It was Delta. Yeah. But yeah, that was probably the most memorable aspect of it. Wow. Getting home. Okay. That's fun.

Theoretically, guys, would you, I, whenever you said we realized like two hours, like away from the airport that we were going to be late, is that worse than realizing it 15 minutes before? Like, I just think in some ways I'm like, I would just be dreading that entire drive. I'd be analyzing every, you know, like, okay, why are we going 80 miles an hour? We can go be going 84. Dude, it was also like we passed, I think just it helped. Of course, we passed like four like accidents on this.

Like there's like slowdowns like galore. Yeah. But it worked. I like making the plan. I like knowing ahead of time. It was kind of fun being like. But how long did it take you to make the plan like if it's like 15 minutes beforehand you realize it that's enough time for us i think that's true that's a good point i don't know i want one thing

i was like it was like i respect this but everybody like no one was really like no one was mad at anybody it was just like we're in this together we're like we'll just we'll figure it out yeah um and it was kind of that was kind of fun. It was the best case scenario because it worked and we got home. That's nice. That pumps me up for you. They flew you up there and back? Yeah.

Not bad. It really was just an ideal fun trip. I get to hang out with people. I'm doing photos and videos and getting paid. It was great. Drink a little coffee. You're finding your passion, finding your fun. When, when, when work is fun, it's not like it's, it's a fun thing.

Like when work is what you're wanting to be doing. Um, it's great. I feel like Jake, you've missed a flight maybe like a few times in your life. Yeah. And there's been, I feel like you've had a time and story about a hundred times in your life yeah and there's been i feel like you've had a time and story about a hundred times in your life it's amazing how i got close how seldom it's like there's like there's no way jake makes this one like there's no way and you've that one time recently in dc whatever that was yeah i missed that one uh let's see i oh i almost missed one recently alan missed it so me oh yeah trey and isaac all

made it and but you were sprinting yeah i had to sprint yeah logged part of my mile getting there 0.25 it was far away yeah it is uh it stinks missing a flight though they closed that door yeah right you know right when you get there and you're sweaty and then you got to admit defeat and Google, Nashville to Kansas City flights, or whatever, you got to start to search. How? I don't think I've missed a flight. That's my fault.

I've missed, okay, because of weather, the connecting flight. Do you guys have to pay for a new flight? Do they give you a discount if you miss the flight? You know what I mean? If it's just straight up your fault, you were late, do you guys have to pay for a new flight? Do you, do they give you a discount if you miss the flight? Like, you know what I mean? Like if it's just straight up your fault, you were late.

Is that just like, that's just a sunk cost. You have to buy a new ticket. I'm sure it's different. Yeah, I think so. Like if you just like your initial flight, like your Kansas city to whatever Atlanta lay,

you know, first flight, if you relate to that, yeah, that stinks. You're just done. I think so. Yeah.

Yeah. Dang. Yeah. I would be so Yeah. Yeah. Dang. Yeah. I would be so mad at myself. Yeah. Like I would replay all every aspect of my day and be like, why'd you, why'd you take a shower that long? Like you didn't need to think about that in the shower.

You could have thought about that while you were getting ready. That's where me and Trey differ. Cause Trey is like, let's not wake up any earlier than we have to. Let's cut this as close as possible. And I'm always like, what's the difference in waking up at 515 and 530? Absolutely. They both suck. 515, we know we make it.

530, I'm going to get a little stressy. Oh my gosh, dude. What's your principle for like how early to get there? What would you like ideally live by? I have pre-check and clear. So I'm as fast pass as they come. Even then I'm still like why stress why not wake up 20 minutes earlier you know there's not a big difference in like man i feel

rest today it's because i slept 20 minutes longer you know so i'm still like get there an hour before the flight even if i'm not checking bags why not yeah like an hour solid yeah i think you you would even even on a very busy day at the airport you would cut it close but you'd make it think an hour is solid. Yeah. I think you would, even on a very busy day at the airport, you would cut it close, but you'd make it in an hour. Right? Yeah. At least in my experience. I feel like some people are like, two hours.

It's like, calm down. Yeah, you're fine. Just in general, my personality is like, why risk it? I put my seatbelt on when I drive to your house. Yeah. You know, because I'm just like, why not? It's so easy for me to put my seatbelt on. What if I do get smacked driving there?'m gonna be so mad at myself what if it's like a

financial thing like do you always get the like protection plans and insurance and stuff uh if you're like renting a car and you're already an insured driver you don't need additional insurance fun so don't do that yeah your insurance Your insurance will cover it. What about like Apple care? But no trip protection? No. Apple care? Apple care? No. Okay. Just don't drop your phone, dingus. Just hold your phone.

Hold on to it. Dingus. I love it. Hey, just don't drop your phone, dingus. Just hold, hang on. How hard is it, dingus? Hold on tight. Yeah. Yeah, I love. Yeah, for the most part, I play things safe. I think it's going to be fun as you continue on in your journey of marriage to find like

the quirks of because Rachel obviously cuts it close, right? Like that's her personality to an extent. Yeah, probably. I mean, I don't know. I would have to think about certain instances. Because Catherine, Catherine's not necessarily like I want to. Sometimes it's like I want to sleep in a little bit longer I think we all kind of understand that at least but like she's more like I could do something in this five minutes like we could either be there five minutes

earlier I could do something this five minutes and like like I think that gives her peace of mind to like do something and accomplish something more so that she doesn't have as much to do and she gets back I have so much more peace of mind you, like who cares if we get 15 more minutes of sleep, if it's going to stress me out twice as much going to the airport, that is going to drain my energy way more than 15 minutes of sleep is going to build it up. You know? And so it's like, give me that. Yeah. Give me that piece of mind. Like, I can't tell you how fun of a dad I am when we are 10 minutes early to church on a Sunday morning. I am just in the best mood ever. And when we're pulling out late, I am flying out in reverse in the driveway.

I am punching it in the drive. Bo's dropping his colored pencils because he wasn't holding on tight enough. And I'm flying around. I drop my colored pencils. We'll have to get't holding on tight enough. And I'm like flying around. I dropped my colored pencils. We'll have to get them when we get there. We'll have to get them. Sorry, buddy. Imagine it.

Imagine your coloring. We don't even need toys in the car anyway. I never grew up with toys in the car. You know, just driving. Golly. You know, whatever. I can't wait to see. I mean, Rachel and I have not been on time to church ever.

And we don't even have kids yet. So we might just aim for the early service, get there in time for the late service is what we're going to do. No, you'll acclimate, I bet. Yeah. But that's awesome time. I love – that's a fun story. You're going to remember that story for a long time.

For sure. And you didn't see my bag anywhere? Gray travel pro. The gray one? Yeah. Ah, no. Ah, I saw pretty. I didn't. Travel Pro. The gray one? Yeah. Ah, no. Ah, I saw pretty much every other color. Dang it.

Shoot. Yeah, they emailed me and said, we haven't found it, but we're still looking. And I said, well, it feels like a missing persons thing. Like it needed to be in the first 48 hours. Well, I guess there's your answer then. That's what they say. That's what they emailed back with, essentially.

Still no response. But, because that's my answer. They finalized it. In a way, they did respond. What do you want me to say now, buddy dingus? What do you want me to say? You already got your answer. Find your own sponsors, dingus.

Yeah, man. But I want to hear from you. It was awesome. It was everything I wanted it to be in more like she, you know, we were worried she's seven years old going to camp. And I mean, she'd been away from us, but it was always at a parent's house or relative or whatever. And, um, no communication. Yeah. Analyzing these pictures and she's at the stage, she's seven years old where she kind of like smiles awkwardly in most pictures. So it's like, is she really having fun?

Or is this just like a forced smile? Like, because they're putting a camera in her face. She had a blast. Good. She had a blast in the most Hattie way possible. She wasn't like all out, like classic camp girl. I did the blob. I did the zip line.

She's like, I'm gonna do all those things next year. I was like, great, that's fine. You know, but she came back. I mean, she made a, she made a best friend with, uh, my friends, my friend's daughter. Like, and it was like, not because of us. It was just like, she came back. She's like, uh, I was like, did you make any friends? She's like, I mean, I made one best friend and I was like, who, uh, this girl named Leah. And I was like, yes, that's my friends. That's my friend's daughter. So already excited.

She's excited. He's excited to go back to Branson in September to see Leah. Oh, that's so cute. They get to hang out. So sweet. The, the, the initial like reunion though was amazing.

Like we see Hattie. I mean, they, they divide them up into their cabins. The, she was girls cabin one girls barn one. So she's at the very end of this road. She was girls cabin one, girls barn one. So she's at the very end of this road. And so we're walking forever to find her.

And then finally we lock eyes with her. And she runs. And it feels like she runs a 400, so far to us. And Catherine's down on her knees, embraces her. Catherine's crying. I'm crying. It was like- That's awesome.

It felt like I was like, it was like her wedding day or something like she's she's here you know whatever like it was just like this such an emotional sweet reunion of course Bo is so excited you know Bo before we got there's like I can't wait to hug Hattie so hard that I uh tackle her and her head hits the ground I'm like Bo we don't want to do that. Just want to get out in front of that. Good try. Please don't do that. That would make everybody sad. So didn't do that. But anyway, just a wonderful time to be back at camp with her. And it does feel like she's changed a little bit.

And maybe it's just mental. But it's like you have a little more confidence, a little more independence. She's already asked Catherine, while Catherine's working in the kitchen, can I help you at all? Is there anything I can do to help you? A little more servant hearted maybe? Okay. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. K country always does a Devo rap every year. So it's like, I mean, so, but back in the day it was like Lecrae, like Flame, all these different people. Mariah Peters. Mariah Peters would write one. This year it was the assistant director, not Jake Seisler,

but Cooperccullough do you know that name yes he married gabby odom right yes yeah which is funny because we had a k-life kid named cooper mccullough yeah and i was like gabby odom really marrying cooper mccullough didn't i didn't know so that cooper is assistant director at k-country not anymore this is he's done he's he's going to waco he's lived in waco working with jp and harris creek and stuff he's all over the place. But he wrote a rap and it's pretty good. Devo rap. Yeah. I mean, he's like, he's Jake triplet light. He texted me like a couple of years ago and asked for advice on stuff. Do you think that could be it? Did he

really? On rap? On rap? I was like, seriously? On God? No cap on rap? I think it was about making videos or something. I don't know how much rap we talked about. Yeah, he's doing youth ministry in Waco now. So it makes sense. He's on the path. Right. He'll be a comedian here a few years.

He'll be there. Work with a juggler. He is great, though. I mean, but anyway, this rap, Hattie and I was doing it every day together now. I'm trying to learn it along with her and everything. And the Devo rap. What, uh, what award did she get in her bunk? She got the, um, Oh, mighty and spirit. Not, not, I can't remember.

I should know. Best rapper. It's like the, yeah, her, her words, you know, they do like a CQs and her words were, oh gosh. Now I pick compassionate and resilient, I think, or person. Yeah, I think it was resilient. Something like that. She's been used to, you know, being tackled by Bo every day.

So she's pretty resilient. It was, yeah, it was fun, you know, getting to see them brag on her and she was happy. I mean, it was just a sweet moment and she loved it. Like she's already ready to go back. She brings it up in conversation every day. Oh yeah. You know, back when we went to Mermaid Island on our canoes.

Oh, yeah. I guess one of the characters at K-Country was named Mr. Beast. And so she's always talking about Mr. Beast now. And I was like, really? You guys watch Mr. Beast? He's kind of like in some like, you know, tepid water. Some hot lake water right now. Yeah, going on right now.

And he's not that Mr. Beast. I saw Hattie briefly at the pickleball tournament. And so I was like, Hattie, you're back from camp. How was it? And her first thing she said was like, I got lots of letters from my family.

And I was like, oh no, maybe she had a bad time. Her first thing to say is like, well, my family sent me some stuff. And she's like,

I got stuff from, she's riding on family members, I don't even know. I got gifts from, you know, aunt, whatever. Yeah, different people. And I was like, oh my gosh, that's's so fun i'm glad you had such a good time at camp right but yeah then you're like no she really didn't have a good time i think she did legitimately counted i think like

11 letters in a week no wonder she's talking about it and she did she did write us one letter that she never actually sent but we found in her luggage i think it said dear mom and dad i tried coffee cake today. Love Hattie. It's like sweet. I guarantee you if she, if we would have gotten that in the mail while she was God, we would have cried. Like we would have been like,

Oh my gosh, I miss her so much. That's her handwriting. She did that. She was thinking about us. But anyway, it was a fun time. Let's see a few other quick notes from Branson.

We got there the night before and stayed with one of our friends, Alan Tigner, who has two little boys. One of them is a little bit older than Bo. One of them is younger than Rosie's age. And Bo's just not around boys that often, and so he was loving being at this boy's house with all this boy stuff. Bo immediately wanted to put on his Spider-Man suit, this kid's Spider-Man suit.

Mac wanted us to play this game in the hall where we're kicking a soccer ball. Essentially, it's like if you can get the soccer ball past each other, then you score a point. And Bo's kind of playing, but he's also taking on this persona of Spider-Man. And then all of a sudden, he just runs. He gets a running start and runs towards mac

and jokingly i was like oh get him bo thinking like he was gonna go get the soccer ball and boat i've never seen him do this before just pile drove this kid like form just absolutely like took both of his hands and just like you know you know like shack with uh uh what's his name chris dudley that yeah after he dunks the ball and then he shoves him back time and put the gif in right now shaquille o'neal dunking the ball, shoving the Knicks player back. Okay. That's exactly what Bo did. Bo just took both of his hands and shoved this kid to the ground. And I've, I was like, I don't know whether to be proud or upset or, and you also kind of instigated this. I said, get them Bo. I shouldn't have said that, I guess, but I didn't, I've never

seen him do that to his sisters, but maybe he's like, well, boys can take it as a boy. He can do it. Uh, and so that was awesome. Do you get mad at him? I didn't get mad. I laughed at first. And then I said, Bo, we're not doing that. That's not, he wasn't ready for like, it was kind of a cheap shot.

Luckily they were face to face, but still I, I didn't, I reprimanded them, but I didn't say, like, you can't play anymore or anything like that. Yeah. I don't know. I've been really trying to figure out discipline with Bo recently. That's a different story. I saw some TikTok trend recently where the mom was in on it. What they do is you film the dad, but meanwhile,

while the mom was talking to the kids, the little boy would say, like, shut up, mom. Just see the dad and but meanwhile while the mom was talking to the kids like the like the little boy would say like shut up mom just see the dad's reaction oh wow it's pretty funny like you know some dads i mean they immediately give it right back and sometimes they're just like say that again it's like really calm but like terrifying yeah bo called had he stupid today no sir in the morning Before 9 a.m.? Before breakfast. Oh, my gosh.

They're doing their morning chores. Was she being stupid? No idea. Didn't see the context. Did she try to say Cozy Earth had pillows? You really are stupid. Yeah, it was sweet. It's fun to be in Branson.

Just saying, Branson's a wonderful place. Branson's a wonderful place. Ooh, we have new details yep go ahead that by the time this comes out they have pillows they have pillows they have pillows no uh we're very excited so we've kind of been loosely promising a very fun social hangout friday night uh It's going to be at a place called Social Birdie. It's a place that just opened up in... Time and Brad, can you both do the Social Birdie sounds? So imagine that, but with all of us there. And pickleballs. And pickleball paddles.

And pickleball nets. It's basically, it's the game of pickleball, okay? I'm spoiling it. Golf simulators. That sounded like a whip yeah that's not a golf sound um there'll be light chatter going on throughout the night killing a crystal here i push them on get them what was that he was doing pickleball sounds. I was trying to combine. You were slurping a milkshake over there. There might be drinks, maybe.

Ice cream? Custard? Yeah, I mentioned I was like... Sipping on some custard. How big is that straw, Tyler? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mmm, custard. Yeah. Anyway, feel free Mmm, custard. Yeah.

Anyway, feel free to look it up yourself, but it's a great, it's brand new. They're pumped to have us. We're pumped to be there. It looks amazing. Yes. And, oh, oh, man, I'd love to come. That sounds great.

I don't have a pickleball paddle. Oh, I can't, I can't fit one in my bag. I'm afraid I'm going to leave it on the airplane. What do I do? I'll go ahead and just provide you one through Friday Pickle. That's right. Yeah. Now, who can get one of these, Brad?

Anybody with a ticket. Not just VIPs or anything, right? Well, usually you have to buy two, though. Two paddles. Nope, not this time one ticket one paddle one night of fun plus the next day plus the next morning one weekend of fun is what i should have said get it for one ticket and big daddy yeah so uh it'll be a very just you know i think casual hangout but we're gonna be there for hours and hours yeah and we'd love

to meet you guys we'll have to say hello we'd love to set you know just set the weekend off right and also play you guys a pickleball i don't know if we're ready to put a bounty on it because i don't know if isaac and scott are coming you don't hey we were undefeated in gold shorts whatever bounty that's true yeah yeah we were even with hannah creech they'd take us home take it home take it Tymon yeah I think we just we just want this weekend to be a great blend of like

entertainment for you guys through us but also just like we want to hang out with you guys we want to get to know you guys so

trying to find the balance of like that and I think this Friday special you know time at Social Birdie would be

a wonderful time just hang out and yeah get good conversation get to know you. So buy your tickets. GhostHunters.life slash Branson. We'll see you there. Come on with it. Fun.

Okay, let's talk about Pickleball Tournament. Let's talk Pickleball. Last week was a lot. It was really fun. A lot of moving parts. Trying to coordinate with different pro players, different creators, different middle school

people to shoot with. Tymon's here these days. He's not here these days. Okay, he can do this. He's got a voice lesson here. Okay, let's hire Derek to do this. Scott's got a GoPro. So much to coordinate and figure out. But in the end, it was very fun. If we continue posting once a week

we have enough content to last us to like november 5th right now which feels really good to be in that position yeah um so uh it's also really interesting so within the confines of elite tennis and wellness which is where the ppa was at isaac scott and i were like the beatles i mean, legitimately couldn't get to where you needed to go because you would just get stopped. And you're signing pickleball paddles. I'm like, I got this. I'll try my best. And I'm signing autographs.

You're taking pictures. People want to talk about your paddles. They want to talk about the content. So fun. Never got annoying. But fame like I've never experienced. It would be like the lobby after a stand-up show where everyone has just experienced me

and probably would want to talk if I was near them. It was like that for five or six days. But it's funny. If you ever need a break, I'll just leave. And then no one knows who I am again. And then like, all right. I just leave the grounds. Sure.

You go to the McDonald's across the street and no one knows you. Yes. But within just this specific area of this tennis complex, us three are extremely well known. It was very interesting. Yeah, because- Very isolated.

If you're playing in a pickleball tournament and or attending a pickleball tournament, you've probably consumed some pickleball content. If you've consumed any pickleball content, you've seen your stuff. Exactly. So if you were to go to like public parks, we see our paddles a lot

because that's where a lot of beginners and intermediate players are. That's where our paddles are aimed because that's where a lot of beginners and intermediate players are. That's where our paddles are aimed at. But our content is mainly people who take Pickball really seriously.

So we didn't see as many customers or as many paddles, but everyone knew our content. So it's a little different, but it was fun. And we were supposed to shoot with the white whale,

Tyson McGuffin. He DM'd, said, I would love to shoot with you guys. Didn't end up happening because he wanted to spend time with his family i mean back in the day i think you did say that he had like a dad bod maybe maybe i did something like that i remember like being like this guy's the top guy in the world remember like way back who knows what i said bring on tyson who is this guy do you remember

that time you've been listening to the podcast i remember yeah him talked about it for sure i can't remember specifically something like that so maybe he was like yeah i'll spend time with my family i mean from what i've seen he looks he looks kind of studly yeah he does yeah he's got like a lot of tattoos and like shaves his legs and you know he's a guy who like wants to look good he's aerodynamic also looks a ton like carl lz. Looks exactly like him. Spend time with family. Yeah.

Blish. I don't want to turn into Carl Lentz. Yeah, my kid sitter's here. But yeah, it was a really fun time. As far as the tournament goes. So Isaac and I, we put all this effort, energy, and the content of like, we're going to try to win 4.0 gold. We find out,

okay, there's 16 teams in your division. There's going to be four pools, each with four teams in it. You're just going to play one game to 15 and only one team from each pool makes it out of there. So, I mean, if your pool is stacked, stinks. Sorry, only the best team is going to makes it out of there so i mean if your pool is stacked stinks sorry only the best team is going to make it out of there um so not the best format probably you know just like they don't know any of our skill levels so how could you like are you not able to like somehow

submit your skill levels or anything like that that's another thing i thought that was what the whole point of the duper thing is duper is not connected to any of this stuff. It's separate. And that's a problem because one of the teams we're facing, the guy has a 5.2 duper. We're playing in a 4.0 tournament. Scott is at a 5.2.

So does that 4.0 tournament, does that basically equate to 4.0 duper? Or is that a 4.0 different than duper? No, they're like the same thing, basically. A 4.0 duper or is that a 4.0 different than duper i know they're like the same thing basically a 4.0 tournament should be like if you're between 4.0 and 4.49 like if you're in that range so this guy should be playing in a 5.0 tournament yeah he's playing two levels down okay i had i known that i would have brought him a huge bag of sand and said, congratulations, you earned this. Yes. So we had him. He was in our pool.

And we also had two brothers that were nine and ten years old. They were also in our pool. I think I'm going to save the results for when the video comes out this Friday, hopefully, if me and Tymon can crank this out in time. But yeah, who knows what happened i okay i don't i mean i shouldn't comment too much just in case i give anything away but uh you were there you brought

the kids there oh yeah uh rachel brought a ton of her friends there my dad drove up rachel had a posse yeah one of rachel's friends has started taking tennis lessons at elite so i think she's like i want to come see my people you know whatever so yeah kids came the two uh boys that we had to play their dad owns this tennis complex like elite tennis he owns that his name is mike wolf he's the reason jack sock moved to kansas city it was to train with him so this guy mike the dad of the boys trained jack sock who went on to win wimbledon and a gold medal at the Olympics in tennis. Where was he living before? I think he was born and raised in Nebraska.

Oh, wow. And then moved to Kansas City for middle school, high school to train with Mike. So his sons are going to be very good, I would guess. Yeah. They probably got it in them. Yeah. I didn't know that. But when I was watching you play these kids, I was, for the first three three points jokingly like pretty intensely like get them let's go punish them it was such and then i had

a few like like younger parents like looking back and be like is this guy serious i was like i can't do this anymore so we had you know we've got a lot of people watching us either they know us from our content or they're you rachel your kids my dad cole ford talia shout out talia tal to talia uh tapioca let's go talia talia ghosties are there um watching us and then also the the owner's sons are playing so they've got so many people from there like all these tennis instructors pickleball pros and then yeah we're just having to play a nine-year-old it was interesting dynamic and i will say like the first game you played was out of the far court yeah it's hard to see we we didn't know the score we didn't really like it was it was you had to be very consciously paying attention whereas this one's like it's i mean it's just right there i can watch the whole time i can hear

the score the whole time so yeah very interesting trying to navigate that from a you know also derek's there with the largest camera setup you've ever seen yeah um which i think worked our advantage i think they were intimidated by it 100 michael bay movie um yeah so yeah it was interesting dynamic i said i were like how do we what do we do here i feel like we can't joke around like we normally would or yeah i don't know just like we're we're in a cage i don't want to give anything away okay this friday check it out just uh i what do you think of pickleball tournament or also what are you about to say feel free to say either of those things thank you no i i'm gonna tell you what happened uh so i texted you earlier this that morning of the pickleball

tournament yeah it's like hey man i've been bricked up for a while now. You know, I'm, I'm with my kids. So I, you know, I have to be bricked up. I can't like, why are you texting me? Hey, I don't need to know this. I think I even at all cap or like capitalized. I'm bricked up. Like it's like a, like a T trademark.

Hey, FYI, I'm bricked up. So I don't know, like, does does is it cost to go see you play pickleball so i remember in the past we got these uh all access passes from vulcan but i was like it seems like it's like kind of expensive to come watch this pickleball i'm not gonna pay for all my kids to come for 30 minutes to go watch jake and you're like i think maybe you can just walk in uh through one of these other access gates or something if you're not trying to watch the pros or something it does cost normally like 25 bucks or something. I was like, okay, just FYI. I don't think I'm going to come if they're going to charge me a hundred bucks to come watch. Yeah.

So we, we walk in, I noticed like this back gate kind of thing, right where, right where you guys were playing. I was like, perfect. We'll just walk in there. And then I see the staff member right there. I was like, can't do that. And so, you know, didn't say anything to the kids, but I did say like, as we're walking, I was like, we might be able to go. I'm not sure yet. You kind of thing. And, uh, Hattie, as we're pulling up, you'll love this. Hattie was like, I'm so excited to see Mr. Jake. Like, like it was, it was a, it was awesome. I was like, really? Like, like I can't to see Mr. Jake. Like, not Miss Rachel, like Mr. Jake specifically. She said it, I think, twice. She'd been at camp. She knows. People talk.

Yeah. She'd been away from you for a while. And so anyway, we park, we're walking up and I'm just trying to walk through the gate. And I hear this woman go, sir, sir, you know, 70 year old woman. You're like, Bo, they're talking to you. Hey, Bo, go ahead. And she goes, have you checked in yet? And to go, sir, sir. You know, 70 year old woman. You're like, Bo, they're talking to you. Hey, Bo, go ahead. And she goes, have you checked in yet? And I go, oh, I was just ignorant. I was like, oh no, do I need to check in?

She's like, well, do you have a ticket? And I was like, no, no. How much are tickets? She's like, well, after taxes and fees, it'll be $29. And I was like, she's like, the kids are free, but you'll be $29. And I'm like, I'm just trying to watch my friend play real quick. I can be there long. We're not going to watch the pros or whatever, you know, Mr. You know, and she's like $29. Sorry. Uh, and I was, I was like, I don't, I don't have, I don't have money on me, you know, whatever. She's like $29.

And I was like, okay, I guess we can't watch. And I just walked away. And it was like, Hattie knew what to say. It was like, I don't know if this woman even heard, but like, okay, I guess we can't watch. And I just walked away. And it was like, Hattie knew what to say. It was like, I don't know if this woman even heard, but like, man, she was dejected. She's like, you mean we don't get to see Mr. Jake? She's walking away. She literally goes, I mean, I'll use my own money if that's what it takes.

I'm like, who are you, Oliver Twist? Like, what is happening over here? And then I hear this woman, you know, from 30 feet away. Sir, sir, come on on and we walk in and i at first i was like should i feel guilty about this and then i learned that nobody else like your dad cole and his wife like no one had paid any money to get in yeah i just kept walking in through different gates all week. Yeah. And no problem. Yeah. So. You pay time? Nope. Good. You win?

What? Yeah. For. Not for that thing. But like I was there. Oh earlier in the. Wednesday and Thursday. Okay.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway it was. It was just like. Use my own money. I'll use my. You know.

I'll support it myself. That's so perfect. Good job Addy. Sorry guys. I guess we perfect. Good job, Hattie. Sorry, guys. I guess we're just going to go to the park. We go to the park every day. I don't want to go to Qdoba. I want to watch pickleball.

Kids, yeah, ate their food and played Uno with Carly Dove and watched Mr. Jake and mr isaac bow was really bow kept calling the field he's like i want to go down on the field yeah i want to go down on the field like bow they're playing you can't you can't do that he's like well when they're done i was like but when they're done somebody else is gonna play so field's action-packed all day go down the i want to see mr jake you know okay he'll maybe he'll come up here, Beau.

In fact, one, Alex Ajani, texted me at 10.07, 20 minutes ago. I'm becoming friends with all these dads. Because we had plans to shoot with some middle schoolers. Actually, it's a video that,

I guess when you're listening to this, came out last Friday. The two best 12-year-olds in the world talked about it last week. And, you know, I worked at camp youth ministry enough to know how to kind of handle these things. Like, I definitely want to get the parents' permission. I want to be communicating primarily with the parents,

make sure they are totally on board. Well, all it takes is you film with one set of 12-year-olds and then a line starts to form and like i'll do it um and so yeah wednesday night we uh maybe it's thursday night doesn't matter but we found this girl she was 13 year old girl but qualified for like the women's pro division so she's like whoa the best 13 year old adult women's yes i don't know what the difference yeah like the pro main draw yeah and so i was like hey introduce myself to her dad like i would love to like shoot with your daughter i'd love to film your daughter it would be really fun and so that just starts to happen and then you'll see it when

And I was like, yeah, what's going on, man? He's like, you've, uh, you sent me some paddles. I was like, oh, sweet. That's awesome, dude. I hope you like them. And, um, dude, thanks for saying what's up. Actually, I got a game right now. I'm like court 13, but like, dude, it was good bumping into you. Cause that's how so many interactions have been. I didn't know who he was. This is a guy who has been from the get gogo i swear like the first friday pickleball we ever posted this guy like followed liked commented and he is a uh i always noticed it because he

had a verified instagram account and he was like a drone like fpv drone pilot oh cool i always thought that was cool like from the get-go with this guy with like a little bit of a following and he like likes our pickleball content and so yeah just recently he said that he was like you know doing this stuff i was like dude let me send you some paddles had no idea it was him to like two hours later it's like i'm glad we made this connection and um as we get talking i'm like dude that's so cool you do fpv stuff i was like i it kind of like as i was getting out of videography it became more popular but i wish i had like gotten more into it because it's so cool yeah if you guys don't know what i'm talking about it's like it's like a it's drone footage but it can do anything it's like a bird yeah like a bird or

like almost a fighter jet in the sense that like any move is possible i watched one recently you see the one where the tire is rolling down the hill no the tire is rolling down the hill and the fpv drone uh shoots the gap and like goes through the hole of the tire and like an irish countryside i think that was a, how ridiculous video. Oh, I think I saw that. I don't know what to tell you. Time.

I don't know about that. Every time me and my family would go to Perth, you'd be like, I hope we see how ridiculous this weekend. Oh, maybe they're out here. Uh, back to me.

It's so cool. It's a very cool vantage point. They can go like, I don't know, a hundred miles an hour, maybe more. This guy threaded through a pickleball one time, didn't he?

Like his FP, he had like a micro drone is what they call it. It's like the size of a fly. It just goes straight through the holes of a pickleball as the guy's serving the ball. Well, a lot of FPV pilots, they're doing micro droning and they're getting a lot of business with people like BBC or people who do like planet earth type stuff. Cause it's like the modern magic school bus. It's like, let's just fly into their bloodstream and see what's going on.

Yeah. You think that it's a micro trip? It's a micro drone. Yeah. Yeah. They're just flying around. They can do pretty much anything. Yeah. Aortas, valves, veins, arteries. Sure. Sphincter. They can. Moderna is working on it. Yep. Pfizer has a few. Yep. So Johnson and Johnson. Johnson and Johnson's out. No. Yeah. They were like, this is, this is not for us, but. I get talking to this guy. I'm just like, dude, that's so cool. They were like, this is not for us. I get talking to this guy. I'm just like, dude, that's so cool.

I was like, I'm always excited when I see like FPV drone pilots getting work in like Hollywood and stuff. And I was like, I still remember this Justin Bieber music video. I think it was Hold On. And I remember like seeing all this FPV footage. I thought it looked so sweet. He's like, that's cool, dude. That was me. I was like, what? all this fpv footage i thought it looked so sweet he's like that's cool dude uh that was me i was

like no what i was like the one like thing i can like recall like the one time i've seen fpv like out in the wild in hollywood so to speak that was you he's like yeah i've just like i've been doing it for a while and this dude's like 24 years old like how i was like what'd you start he said when i was 10 i was like well that worked out for you. He started off doing drone racing. Yeah. And then seven years into it, they're like, hey, these drones can film stuff now. Now he has a career on his hands. That is so cool. Really worked out for him.

But I was like, dudes, you're big time. And he wouldn't say that. He was a really good dude. Shout out, Alex. Yeah, yeah. He's like, oh, yeah, I've done some stuff here and there. But yeah, he's done multiple Bieber music videos. He's working on a Michael Bay. Or he already did a Michael Bay movie. Yeah, just casual stuff. Like, oh, yeah, you know, I've done some stuff here and there. But yeah, he's in multiple like Bieber music videos.

He's working on a Michael Bay or he already did a Michael Bay movie. Yeah, just casual ambulance. Oh, is this dude? Yeah, I've like seen this guy in like some videos. Really? I like this channel. Potato Jet does like a lot of camera like videos. And like every time I go to Gallenberg, I'm like, I hope I see Potato Jet here. I would know when. When you mentioned like

FPV in Hollywood, I was like, oh, you like that ambulance movie? Yes. Michael Bay with that one like young kid, young guy. That's him. That's so cool. Young guy. Michael Bay. So he's like, I mean, probably he's kind of like the what's he doing at elite pickleball? Yeah. What's his Instagram? I want to follow this guy.

Captain Vanover over i think is what it's called so he's one of like two of the the top two like fpv drone pilots in the world like it's him and one other guy yeah who are like the guys and i was like this is so cool dude we gotta have you film some stuff for us so we're scheming up how to make pickleball look really cool he's like just let me know i can just fly up there and i was like oh you have like an actual pilot's license he's like yeah i can just fly like a little plane. It's just a mini, it's a drone. It's just a drone, but I'm the first person viewer. It's just, I don't have to wear goggles.

Yeah, he's like, no, no, I wouldn't fly. My drone would just fly up there. I would just sit in my house and just, yeah. Yeah, the range from Dallas is pretty impressive. I'll just fly from here. What if, dude? What if? So anyway, I think he's got to, we're going to find time this fall.

He's going to fly up to like the Olathe Regional Airport or whatever it is johnson county you know um it filmed a bunch of cool drone stuff for us what are you gonna how are you gonna do it like what is that so one idea we have i credit to derrick chapman he had an idea like this for golf and we never did it but we talked about doing um a video called i played golf in third person okay and we never did it so we want i think it'll be much easier to do in pickleball so if you can imagine you put like a drone camera behind you like on the fence somewhere the camera's back there and then as i play pickleball i would put the goggles on okay so what i see is actually what the camera sees so i'm seeing myself in third

person as if i'm playing a video game or watching myself on tv right and these drone you know the technology is there there's almost no latency. It's 10 milliseconds or something. So theoretically, you should be able to react. Go get the ball. Run and hit it. But it's like

it's a whole new vantage point. You're seeing yourself from afar. That's fun. Like a weird dream or something. That's fun. So it'd be really fun

to do that, yeah. I played pickleball in third person. That's pretty cool. That would be sick. Yeah. That's a great idea. And then there's

some other stuff. I found like some videos online. Some people have tried doing pickleball with like FPV drones and shooting it. And so I sent it to him. I was like, dude, it'd be fun to do something like this. And I thought it looked pretty sick. And he's like, oh, yeah, we could do that.

And I could do a way better job. I was like, sweet. I thought this was awesome. So I can't wait to see what you can do, brother. He is going to be able to figure out how to thread the needle of a pickleball. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if he's like the best drone pilot in the world then who knows what's possible wow

so that was that's sick and that's not even my best friend that's so cool yeah isn't that fun yeah we got all like link up you have any you want to do some woodworking i was gonna say we should just do things that don't have anything to do with anything just to be cool just to like have them here yeah ghost run real estate they did you the first fpv thing i ever saw was on hard knocks with the uh cowboys practice facility they call it the star yeah you remember that yes i remember the first like and it was like um what's the word not not out of context but just like it was the first thing of the show so there was no like segue into it and so at first i was like oh that's kind of a cool, like zoom in of like them,

like going through the front door. And then I was like, wait a second. It's like turning. And I'm like, is this all computerized? Like it was so smooth and so perfect. And like, so well-timed with people opening the door and like catching a pass and all these different, I was like, what is go? And it's like a three minute long thing. And all of a sudden I'm just like mesmerized by it. So I just mesmerized is a good word that's how i am when i watch these videos so maybe we should just do one of the ghost runner studio we should do like we should film a video of like your walk over to the studio so it starts with you in the backyard with your kids like okay kids yep i gotta go to work you know and like it's filming them like in the yard playing like no

dad no no get it and then catherine opens the door and like the drone goes through your house and then you open the door. And then, you know, the drone goes up real high to show the to show exactly where we live, I guess. So the aerial view of the idea of like getting the guy who does it for the big movies. But just for this, Michael Bay goes into our house like chip paint everywhere. He's got like a cinema camera on his drone. And it's just... Yeah, we asked him backyard to the studio. Yeah, the walkover.

And see the construction. See the backhoe. That'd be fun. The construction is out of control. See the lack of road I have. Yeah. Like the road to Damascus right now. I'm walking over here.

He's flown a red camera on a FPV drone before. Which is pretty fun. No way. So cool. Can you believe that how they they die at red or red died number rgb for rgb yeah that's cool that's really cool anyway that's not even my best friend i'll tell you about my best friend that's not your freaking go ahead after the break hey guys are guys!

That's what we were going to say the whole time. I don't know. It really got away from me there. I love it. Michael Scott was podcasting. That's what that would be. I have a new segment.

Great. It's it's it's it's what's the word? Not I'm struggling with words recently tuned. It's not to it's like no, I got it.

I got it. It's angle. It's not angle. It's it's for Gen Z. But what's the word? It's targeted, targeted, targeted, targeted is the word targeted for Gen Z. And so I'm calling it relatable or nah. it's it's for gen z but what's the word it's targeted targeted targeted target is the word

targeted for gen z and so i'm calling it relatable or nah is that that hits and relatable that hits or nah that comes from what the the vine trend from back in the day probably i guess if that's gen z yeah that's i mean if that's what we're all concerned you didn't see then yeah relatable or not it you get that time not it so so you so trendy i have a list of things and you're gonna say relatable you're gonna say not it okay that's what you guys say like you guys are just all the time timing and his friends are just hanging around the circle at mcdonald's you're saying on rap on rap on relatable and that's on rap or nodded so um hey timing relatable or nodded yeah jake you're welcome to chime in as well thank you same generation i've been hanging out with kids i i feel weird when i say no thank you to someone when they offer me a receipt relatable

or nodded i feel weird when someone says uh here you go and i say no thank you to someone when they offer me a receipt. Relatable or nah, dude? I feel weird when someone says, here you go. And I say, no, thank you. I don't need my receipt. I'm going to say nah, dude. Nah, dude. Nah, dude. Nah, dude. You're totally fine saying no, thank you. Yeah. Yeah. If they say, if they say what a receipt and you say, no, thank you. That's, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about they hand you the receipt. They don't say, would you like your receipt? Oh, I see. I see. Okay.

I'm kind of with you. Here's your receipt. And I say, I don't want it. Oh, well, I feel like if they give me a receipt, I'm typically going to take it. So maybe I am. Maybe I do relate. But I've never really thought about it. I'm just like, if they're handing me something, I'm going to take it and then I'm going to throw it away.

Okay. But I don't want it. So therefore, I'm going to take it and then I'm going to throw it away. Okay. But I don't, I don't want it. So therefore I'm starting to say, no, thank you. I don't like that. Okay. That's on wrap. That's on wrap. And that's on wrap.

Yeah. I don't like when they hand it to me. No one wants a receipt. Who wants a receipt? Well, I'll tell you who, your dad, the only one at the Bondi soft opening. He's like, I actually will take my receipt. He's good. He's consistent with his job. But every time at Chipotle, I's like, I actually will take my receipt. He's good. He's consistent with his...

But every time at Chipotle, I mean, like, no thank you. Like, who's begging for this? Yeah. It's one thing if they say, would you like a receipt? No, thank you.

No problem. No one cares about that. But if they're like gesturing. All right, have a good day. They don't even ask. It's just an assumed like... I was kind of thinking I would just carry my food.

Like, do you mind? You have a trash can right there. Just throw it in there. Yeah. you so relatable okay relatable um hey guys relatable or not dude yeah um i i thought of this because i went and picked up diapers for rosie yesterday that's not relatable i know i understand uh but i just got an emergency pack you know normally go every life you know but we were we were running low so I got some huggies uh with Mickey Mouse on them I would say nah not yet oh you haven't got okay I'll prompt how will like, I, I, Mickey mouse is just a mediocre character to me in the grand scheme of things. Mickey mouse is a, I think positively when I see Mickey mouse,

but then I'm like, why do I like Mickey mouse? What's he, what's he done for me? I don't have really any kind of affinity towards any kind of Mickey mouse content relatable or nodded prompted relatable i would relate to that really yeah prompted yeah what has he done he never made me laugh like fantasia was the worst disney movie i've ever seen remember that one that was the one that was like pretty historically accurate about like rasputin right it was rasputin and it was uh what was it france ferdinand it was like the beginning of World War I. I feel like I've heard this kind of a masterpiece.

I haven't seen it though. A masterpiece as a little five-year-old kid though. It's like, what is this about? Gotcha. Yeah, I don't know. And you've never seen it. So also, what's Mickey Mouse doing? That's true.

Mickey Mouse, like. He's an icon. I've never really seen him in something that I'm like, maybe I just need to watch some like character-based Mickey Mouse things so i can see how he is as a mouse and that's my point is i don't think anybody watches his stuff because yeah the character of mickey mouse is just fine i'll tell you what it's not even neutral but it's almost like oh is 2 2d mickey mouse when they show like yeah wild disney back in the day he first of all yeah and he's over there doing his little thing yeah he's like a sailor.

I will say that's my favorite kind of Mickey Mouse. That's my least favorite Mickey Mouse. Dude, have you ever seen maybe I'm on the nah dude a little bit because there's like the very very classic black and white very early Mickey Mouse where it's like no one's really talking and they're just telling

like a very comedic story with just like animation and music and stuff. Those are great's got like a couple of those steering wheel on the boat kind of thing yeah whatever yeah i think i'm most attracted to the mickey mouse like at disney world like in a costume i'm like i feel fondly about that that's fun yeah you're attracted to that i'm attracted to minnie mouse but I'm like, I'm drawn to... You're attracted to when people dress up as animals. You're attracted to Mickey

and Minnie Mouse? I would say I'm drawn to Mickey Mouse, but I am like attracted to Minnie Mouse in the costume at the furry convention the night before the cruise. But that's my favorite form of the mouse. Yes.

Because I've been on record, I'll drown a mouse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if he was dressed as Mickey, I would let him free. Like, you're fine, buddy. Get out and go ride the roller coasters hey everyone's been a teenager once in their life get out of here get out of here we're gonna drone pilot to follow you around all right uh next relatable or not dude uh i'm a decently sharp person i do pretty uh

well in life for the most part uh but for but for whatever reason, I really struggle with, uh, taking a shower, putting like having my towel taken to my room changing and then leaving my towel in my room. Oh, relatable or not. Dude. Really? Really? Would say relatable. Yeah. I would say nah, very programmed in my towel placement. I don't think i've ever seen katherine like um like forget her towel in our room and so often especially on sunday mornings i'll come home from church i'm like oh crap my towel's still there and then you feel bad because it's wet towel on the bed yeah i don't know if this was my mom but i feel like it feels so wrong to put anything wet not somewhere where it can dry immediately and i think yes i i, I was also, I'm also raised that way,

but I just have a problem with it. I think I just don't do it consciously. I think I just like throw it down thinking like, you gotta put it somewhere for a second, right? I'm always just like in a rush or absent-minded. So it's like, I know I shouldn't do that. I'm just not, I just fail to think about it. So to me, it doesn't seem like a rule

I'm even allowed to break even for a second though. Like there's no like for a second, I'll do that. And then I'll do this. It's like's like it's wet it has to go up high on something okay it has to it has to have a hook or something yeah or like over the shower edge or even just like sweaty clothes i get done yep running or pickleball like i can't just throw that in the hamper that's disgusting the sweat's gonna get everything i have to i have to lay this somewhere i am good at that i'm you're one of best. I'm one of the best. I'm sure. What was I going to say about towels?

Doesn't matter. Oh, okay. What about shoes on the bed? I put my shoes on on the edge of my bed. And so I put my socks on first and my shoes are right next to me. Catherine doesn't like that. Your shoes are on the bed? Why would you do that?

Easier access to the shoes. Because of the access. I hate the ground. No, nothing has ever been on my bed. Now that I think about it. Not even pillows? I don't know if I've ever put anything on my bed. What do you do with yours, Tywin?

I've definitely... Dude, I just... My shoes could be anywhere, and i wouldn't even know i i'd have one shoe on my bed and one shoe like somehow hung up in my closet and i don't i wouldn't even know on the cause back on top of your truck right now on the driveway that's where my shoe is i'm not it's just yeah that kind of thing i just i wish i was better at thinking about it but like i don't even know if i can have a relatable or a nah dude because because yes and no okay that's

right yeah rachel's that way i wouldn't necessarily have a problem with like putting some shoes on my bed quick to like i mean i understand the theory that katherine's saying is like your shoes are all over the dirty ground and yeah in public and everything and then you put them on our bed where we sleep and it's like okay but for like a second you. And then you put them on our bed where we sleep. And that's like, okay. But for like a second, you know, like,

but you put them at the feet of the bed or either that, or like on my side of the bed, but like I'm yeah. On my side. And yeah, get ready. So you would potentially put your there. Granted,

they're on your side of your bed, but they would feel a little too much judgment, but they would not even be at the foot of the bed. They could, they could potentially be in the chest or head area. No, my gosh, no. Oh, okay. I'm talking like either the, if I'm laying down on the bed.

Okay, yeah, where's that on your body? Lying down on the bed. The knee? It's kneecap or shin area. Okay, which that's an area of the body that's kind of just generally not that clean anyway. Outer edges of the bed for sure, always. But like maybe not the foot, maybe the, yeah, the around the corner from that still though, it just feels illegal. Just feels wrong. It just feels like it's things don't go

there. I get it. Like, I don't, I don't put my feet on the furniture besides, I guess a bed is a furniture, but like, I don't put my shoes on the couch or anything like that. That's good. Here's something I will say I do that a lot of other people probably wouldn't do is all like open drink, open glass water, anything right next to my computer, right next to like hard drive here, computer here. It's like the only spot it can go. Yeah, I'm not going to spill it.

Yeah. I know I won't, but I know that would probably drive other people crazy. That's a bold move. Now that Rachel's in the house, you got to be careful. It's like a toddler, you know, like I got to start putting lids on things.

Dude, I mean, we've had four kids now and until Rosie, it was always like, that's not that big of a deal. Like they're not going to like kids know better. Dude. Now nothing is safe with Rosie, dude. Like she doesn't ask,

she doesn't even ask. She'll just get up the other day. She's, she likes to unscrew things right now. And so she unscrewed like a huge, like throat spray and just like chugged half of it. Wow. What am I? I think it's natural.

So that's okay. But like, I don't know. That's not good. Like, and if we didn't find her, she would have eaten it all. Or I had it all. Or like she crawled into the refrigerator the other day. She like opened up, she like brought a stool, opened up the doors. And Catherine's like, I was, I was not like ignoring her.

It was like 15 seconds where all of a sudden she's like standing at the foot of, or at the, you know, whatever ledge of the refrigerator. Adventurous. Yeah. So I would not do that with Rosie around if I were you, Jake.

All right. All right. A few more here. Relatable or not. It, where'd it go? Okay. Um,

uh, posting stories on Instagram. The music's too hard to find. Relatable or not. The search function is sometimes weird. It's amazing. You type in the exact name of the song. Yeah.

And like, did you want Good Morning by Kanye West? Why do you always push it Good Morning by Kanye West? It's amazing. I don't want that. Yeah, I'll look up Kanye West and it'll give me like two Kanye West and like, no, you don't really want Kanye West. What about A Millie by Lil Wayne as the third option?

That's not Kanye West. It feels like they're like, yeah, they don't really want Kanye. What about a milli by Lil Wayne as the third option? That's not Kanye. It feels like they're like, yeah, they're getting royalties or something. Like someone is paying for like to be the third spot. It seems that way because yeah, like I'll look like Old Friends by Ben Rector and I'll look up Old Friends Ben Rector and sometimes it doesn't pop up.

Like what am I supposed to do here? Relatable. Relatable? Yeah. I don't do this enough to have a take,over i think okay i'm gonna try it right now you keep going you keep prompting i'm gonna try uh okay relatable or not dude this is a this is a ghosty submitted one um well that's fun i don't remember who did it i could look it up but i'm not going to uh somebody said something along the lines of uh uh, if someone has their lights on

and, uh, their windows open at night, uh, it's okay to look inside of them. Uh, I do look into people's houses when I'm on a walk and it's lit up at night. Relatable or not? It relatable. Yeah. I think I like to drive him by or anything. I like to glance inside sometimes see like, oh, they're watching, uh, basketball. Yeah, yeah. I think I'm always curious about what they're watching. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, I think. Yeah.

Yeah, very right. Peek in there. See what's up. I think as long as you're continually moving, it's okay. If you ever stop. Can't stop. That's when it gets creepy. I use the same rationale with like a street performer.

If they make you stop, you got to pay. But as long as you keep walking, you don't have to. You just find a dollar in your mailbox the next day. Like, what's this for? I guess we had a peeping Tom last night. Yeah, he must have stopped. If he makes you stop, you got to pay. You got to pay. Okay. Did you look up any Instagram music? Yeah, it actually did an amazing job. Okay. So that I just canceled out of it. Maybe they're changing everything I typed in. It pulls up 15 examples of it. All right. Last one. Relatable or not, dude. Uh, I use a few different metrics depending on, um, the echelons millimeters for how thing, how much things cost. Okay. So like, uh, we got nitro coffee as like a $6 thing. So like if it's like, uh, you know, it's $18 like dang, that's like three nitro coffee as like a $6 thing. So like if it's like, you know, it's $18.

Like, dang, that's like three nitro coffees. Okay. You know, I also use Chipotle burritos as like a $10 gauge. And then I use a tank of gas as like my bigger. Oh, okay. So like, okay, we just sold a piece of merch. I made $6 free. That's a nitro coffee today.

You know, kind of thing like that. You guys relatable or not? No, dude. No, for me or vice versa it's like dang that medicine cost 25 dang that that could have been like two chipotle burritos for katherine i i think maybe very occasionally i could like make a comparison like that i don't find it but you don't have like a set metric no i don't have anything set there was a period of my life where i remember after my first time going to hawaii i think it cost me like a thousand dollars to do the whole trip and so then shortly after this is what i was doing freelance videography so we're offering me a gig like 1200 for this i'm like you know wait for a wedding like that's

lower than what i would do but that is like pretty much a trip to hawaii oh should i do this for a trip to hawaii okay yeah plenty of times i will if it's like, maybe I've had a big purchase recently. It's like, if I get some kind of job, it's like, okay, this kind of pays for this. This justifies this? In that case, yeah, I'd definitely do that. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. I do it with like

budgeting type stuff as far as like, alright, how much am I making each month off of like mood swings? Okay, how much am I making off of correct opinions? Oh, okay, cool. So mood swings pays for the mortgage. Okay, so this pays for this. So that means Ghostrunners is bonus. Fun.

It's kind of fun to think about it that way. Yeah. But never like, not exactly how you're saying. Yeah, yeah. But, yeah. So not, nah, nah, dude, but. Not nah, nah. Not nah.

Nah, dude. Not nah, dude, but not sah nah, nah, not, nah, dude, not, nah, dude, but not, so dude. So, so Gen Z. All right. This has been relatable or nah, dude, with our Gen Z counterparts. Yep. Thanks. And awfully fun.

If I must say so myself. Awfully fun. I'll tell you right now. I picked a scab. Oh, that's no fun. Let her bleed. Bleeding. Bleeding. Bleeding.

Should we talk about Healing Waters? We have some updates of sorts. Yeah, we officially hit our $15,000. No, no, we didn't have a goal of that, but we hit $15,000 raised money, which is just amazing. Thank you, Ghosties, for continuing to support. Talked again to Healing Waters.

Connection, contact last, yesterday. Mark, what's his name? Shout out that one specific donor or is that private? I don't know. I don't know his name. So I think we can shout it out without like too much,

you know, I don't think anybody's gonna be like, I know exactly who that guy is. That's it. Shout out to this ghosty. Yeah. He told a really cool story. You know, he's been trying to call and thank a lot of the donations, donors., there was a $1,200 donation, which is unbelievable. I think

it was the largest donation we had. Yeah, exactly. Um, and, uh, you know, Mark was kind of thinking like, Hey, if we, you know, congratulate them, they might be somebody who's going to continue to donate, like, you know, strategically thinking like, this would be great to have this connection. These people must have some decent amount of income that they can put into this and, um, called this guy. And apparently this guy's not, uh, some well-established, you know, retiree. This guy is a student in college right now as an accounting major and, uh, simply, uh, is doing swimming lessons this summer and had enough that, you know, was intentional. It said, I'm going to put away so much money of this money that I'm making doing swimming lessons to, um, donate somewhere. And he heard us talk about

healing waters on the podcast and he decided to donate to healing water. So, uh, just an amazing, like how cool Mark told me that. And I, I got tears in my eyes thinking, I was like, that is like the generosity of people is just amazing. Yeah. Mark's on the phone getting ready to talk to like some maybe like retired doctor. He's like, Oh, you're, you, you did swim lessons. Oh, you're an accountant. No, no, no. I'm studying to be an accountant. Yeah. So you just chicken airplane soldier all summer and you know, yeah. Yeah. Just an amazing. That's what makes you guys great. Wonderful.

So, um, really thankful to all the ghosties, but yeah, uh, healing waters continually is going to sponsor us, um, as we, uh, hope to bolster their donations, bolster their, the awareness of this issue of, of needing clean water in the world. Um, and they have a really fun event coming up. So September 19th in Denver, Colorado, Golden, Colorado, outside of Denver. I've been to Golden. I've walked around Golden. Have you?

It's where the Colorado School of Mines is, I believe. Wow. I think it's also where Coors Light does stuff. Taste of the Rockies. It's also where Healing Waters International is from. Now that's a company I would rather support. No, but they are doing the safe water open golf tournament and uh yeah they they are eager for you guys to come and support and check it out if

you guys are in the colorado area you can go to safewateropen.com to check out more uh ways to sponsor ways to uh get involved uh unofficially jake and i are going uh we still need to talk to that through with our better halves yeah but it's we gotta go yeah gotta talk to my dad about it um but yeah there's it's it's just one more way to have fun while also supporting this wonderful cause um you can also obviously continue to support give.healingwaters.org slash ghost runners. Um, and yeah, take your pick. Yeah. There, there's a serious problem with water, um, shortage water supplies in this world. Um, he told a story or he sent us a story about this woman who, um, yeah, she, every single day with her kids was having to go. It still is having to go and get water with her

kids in order to, uh, you know, function, uh, at this well, and they are trying to raise money specifically for them. We'll, we'll read it next Monday. Uh, Rosarito is her name, but, um, yeah, they're, they're constructing a community wide water system in her community. Uh, so it's, it's a little more of a serious, uh, organization, but we're also trying to have fun and safe water open. I think would be a really fun way to, um, support them while also having some fun playing golf. So we'll give you more details as they come, but just put it on your calendar, September

19th. If you're in the area, if nothing else to come hang out with us, if ideally maybe you'd golf with us. So, Oh, that'd be fun. So anything to add healing waters, check them out. So that'd be fun. So anything to add? Healing Waters. Check them out. Link in description. Oh, and shout out to the people that went to their office.

Ghosties are the best. I tell you what. They're the best. Ghosties ain't bad. Let's see. What else? Real quick, I want to shout out to people, the ghosties who've been posting the water bottles saved.

All those pictures? Yeah. Those are awesome. We asked you guys to post those last week on the Facebook page. It's like, if you see a really high number, a really low number, there got to be some pretty low numbers. I think one is like, whoa, 70. That's not bad. And one was like in the teens. Like, that's going to be tough to be beat. And then yesterday a girl was like, oh. That's not bad. And then one was like in the teens, like that's gonna be tough to be beat.

And then yesterday a girl was like, oh, our church just put one in. It had like three or four. Three I saw. Was it three? Yeah. Yeah. There was a 10 million one, I think.

Yeah, that's right. Which do you see the comments? Someone did the math. It was like, they would have been filling their water bottle up like every five minutes for the last 100 years. Really? Yeah.

I was skeptical of it. I thought it was maybe like a little bit of a miscalculation the water's going too slow or something something yeah something's off but you can't blame the can't blame the picture taker hey you know yeah just the messenger yeah he's not gonna be like well it's probably wrong so i'm not gonna take a picture you gotta take a picture for 10 million water bottles saved fountain it's crazy that was fun that you guys uh got in on that it's fun to see all the different submissions and i i saw one this past week i think at one of the hotels we were at and um but it was just like a middle of the road just like 70 000 i was like yeah you know yeah it's okay why why even take a picture yeah i'm gonna be cool like this other guy it is fun just thanks for guys for
