All right, Jake, I'm not trying to be controversial here. It's a Wednesday morning, you know, let's not be crazy. I don't want to take a side on this in general, but let me just say that I think that from a janitorial perspective, the gender neutral bathrooms was the most genius thing they could have ever done. Wait, why? I was at the library yesterday and there were, I mean, it was, there were single bathrooms, but it was like, Hey, boys or girls, whoever wants to can use this thing. The accuracy that I have, I'm like Robin hood in the archery games. It's like a social pressure to like perform a hundred percent. And if I, if I miss, I'm wiping every single drop because a lady could use it after because a lady could use it after me. I think where, whereas like, you know how,

like in a men's bathroom, like, you know, sometimes you have a hose, it's like plugged in and screwed in and it's on. And then you like kind of unplug or unscrew it. And it's like, just like spraying a little bit.

Oh, sorry. At first I thought you said, like, you know, in the men's bathroom, there's like a hose. I can't imagine that.

That sometimes feels like what happens to guys in the men's bathroom, where it's just like, the hose wasn't properly screwed in. And it's just kind of yeah just like a bad sprinkler right exactly it's just like it's not completely working or not working it's just kind of flapping around quick sidebar you know what i'm always curious why is the underneath a urinal always wet down there what is that don't ask it can't all be urine there's no way it's all... I don't know. You know what I'm talking about? It's always wet underneath. I don't care where you're at. Kind of where you're standing, but it almost seems like

directly underneath it. It's always wet. It's the leaks. It seems like it is, but it's also like surely it's not urine. Anyway, I'm a fan of gender neutral bathrooms in that sense right there. The only thing I don't like about them is how they have that rule that if you're a man,

you have to sit down to pee. And if you're a woman, you have to stand up. That's so weird. That's weird that they do that. I don't understand. They'll turn you trans right there. I'm not doing that. Uh-oh.

Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's the ghost from this podcast all right we're back here on a Wednesday. Gender neutral bathrooms. That's what we're talking about today, folks. Yes.

You know, my first, the first comedy tour, I had that joke in there about that. And I always was trying to figure out the best way to word that because the joke was that I would go to these bathrooms and, because I know that would happen, like, but I couldn't.

All right, now I'm really struggling to word it. Basically, you go to a bathroom, it could be used by man or woman. And so there'd be signs, obviously, for the women. It would be like, do not flush feminine products down the toilet. You would see those. But the joke was like, I'm such a sheltered kid.

I'm like, why would you flush a purse down the toilet? Who's flushing a curling iron down the toilet? But I always had trouble trying to define that type of bathroom. I know I've seen it, but I don't know where it is. And it feels like too progressive to say like, you ever go to those gender neutral bathrooms? Like, cause I'm saying this happened to me as a kid, always struggled with it, you know, like, but I know I saw, how do I describe that?

Yeah. Gas station, like family restrooms or yeah. Family. I should ask you this three years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like the gas station, gas station is good just have one bathroom everyone uses it man there needs to

be like a another half-baked idea app uh gas station bathroom app because that that makes more of a difference for where i stop than anything i feel like you never know they must gas stations must have done a little bit of market research because every now and then you'll see one. That's the only thing they advertise clean bathrooms. Yes. Cool. Bathrooms cleaned hourly. I saw on the way to Memphis. That's too much. No, no, but especially with kids, man. I mean, some, sometimes my kids will be like, I'm not going to the bathroom in here. I'm like, well, you got Scott when they stop it. The men's room was disgusting. He's using the the women i've walked two marathons yeah yeah um yeah so an app that tells you kind of cleanliness yeah or just reviews just something yeah some kind of a little bit more information

because it truly is you never know sometimes these nasty looking gas stations have a pretty good bathroom i remember in college downloading an app. It was called Gas Buddy, I think. And it would just compare gas prices for you. It would be one called Peabody or something. Peabody. Peabody. James Peabody. Peabody.

Bobody. Be fun. I have stopped in the same gas station for three weekends in a row now in Clinton, Missouri. Oh, Clinton's great. You go Bullseye on the right? Yeah, I love Bullseye. I'm into the Bullseye. You got to go Bullseye. You know, once to drop off Hattie, once to pick her up, andseye on the right? Bullseye. Yeah, I love the bullseye. I'm into the bullseye. You got to go bullseye.

You know, once to drop off Hattie, once to pick her up, and then once on the way home from Memphis. Yeah. And on your way back, you're like, oh, I got to do a left-hand turn. But I kind of like the bullseye. It's bullseye though, bro. Yeah, I know the bullseye. Yeah.

Every now and then I'll go somewhere else, but that's only because I was also going to Subway or something on that side. What do you know about the price cutter in Springfield, Missouri? Anything? Not much. I, I was just driving down to Memphis and was a little tired. It was like five o'clock and I was like, I saw it, you know, one of those highway signs that said Starbucks on this exit. So I was like, okay, I'd go for a nitro right now. Pull over. I'm like, I wish they had mainstream roasters, but they don't, so I'll go to Starbucks. Got duped, Jake. Got duped by a grocery store Starbucks.

It's not the same. I don't like it. It's frustrating. I have to go in. I was like, whatever. Just maybe it's good. I'll stretch my legs. Hey, parked far away just to get a little extra leg stretch.

I go in there, got duped again. They're like, oh, we don't have nitro at this location. Double duped. they're like oh we don't have nitro at this location like you are out to lunch so i i said no thank you and i left i didn't oh i i figured surely there's another one you know next to wildly unique guns uh-huh there was not weird yeah also yeah funny price chopper price, yeah. Very different businesses. They don't do the same thing at all. I hear that they're nice, though. Springfield people like them. Hey, people like them.

Where would you guys go shop? In Stratford, we had Harder House. Did you go to the Stratford grocery store? Sometimes, yeah. Yeah? I didn't realize you had any there. Yeah. Most of my high school graduating class currently works there.

The reunion was at Harder House. Yeah, they did it without me i didn't know it was their company just a break on shift yeah yeah during their smoke break they did it um is that really true like you have so many no i know not most of them but yeah there's that's how my dad stays in touch with people i graduated with go to harder Stop by. Say hello to the folks. So that was really close. If you need something quick. But then Springfield wasn't crazy far away. There was a good-sized Walmart pretty close. You guys were Walmart people?

I think so. Us too. I'm still not super loyal to anyone. I would say I'm a free agent in the grocery business right now. Yeah, well, Rachel's doing most of the shopping, right? Yes. Yeah. She's a Trader Joe's. Price Topper's really uh i'm a price shopper it's really close to us hyvee's really close to us i like hyvee trader joe's is fun we went to trader

joe's together sunday but it's so busy that i feel like i need to be out of there in 10 minutes it's so busy it stresses it not stressing me out but it bothers me how busy it is rachel always gives me a hard time because i'm like very just self-aware spatially aware Rachel jokes I spend my whole life getting out of people's way so she's like you come into Trader Joe's with me but you're gonna you're me freaking out dude you're gonna hate it go to and she's right Costco on the weekend the whole time I'm moving the car I'm apologizing for it's 15 minutes straight yeah it's Costco on the weekend is insane yeah same with Sam's Club that's because that's like what we do we're Costco Sunday Costco fan. Sunday or something like that.

It's like insane. Yeah. Yeah. That's all I do. I just get out of people's way. Just apologize. I'm like basically a traffic guard. You go here, you go here.

I'll just watch. I don't need anything. Yeah, just stay in the car next time. Yeah, sorry I came in. Yeah. Freaks me out. Trader Joe's is cool though. Trader Joe's is awesome.

I don't understand. We have two locations in all of Kansas City. They're very successful. And I don't understand why they're two locations in all of Kansas City. They're very successful. And I don't understand why they're not building more of them. Should we? How hard is it? Easy. I'll invest.

Just a couple of plastered walls. You'll attest? I'll invest. Oh. Like, I'll attest. Not that hard. I'll attest. No, I don't think I've ever been to one.

Really? I don't think. They're great. Stressful. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. Go with a girl. Is it more of like an organic type?

It seems like a little bit more naturalist-ish something. My impression, pre-Rachel, was like, yeah, this is Whole Foods. It's expensive. But it's kind of like an exclusive Target, would you say? What do you mean by that? It's just like, I think Target elevates itself above Walmart. I think Trader Joe's is like one step above Target. Interesting.

But not as expensive or as organic and healthy as maybe a Whole Foods. Gotcha. Yeah, I think it's very- So just like a really nice grocery store. Yeah. And a lot of it's their own. Almost everything they have is like private labeled.

So it's the same thing you would get at Target or Walmart. Yeah, yeah. But it's Trader Joe's brand. I see. Same exact stuff though. Aldi? Yeah, oh yeah. I feel like it's like a high class Aldi.

Interesting. Okay. Yeah. Like same size as an Aldi. Yeah. Like smaller, like not super like produced, like a lot of their stuff is like handwritten signs

and like decorative stuff like that. But it's like, whereas Aldi is just like, this is the food. Here you go. We have two employees, so don't bother them. Right.

They're busy. They're very efficient, but that's it. Trader Joe's though. Yeah. I think everyone has this idea of like, oh, it's like this high frou-frou organic, whatever. And it's like, I think they have that stuff and it's good food, but it's not like super expensive, whatever. I think it's very reasonable.

Yeah. I think. I remember always like begging to go to Hy-Vee just because. Like it was Disneyland. Just because I think it had whatever one that we would sometimes go to. I haven't been in so long. But they had a little like where you put two quarters in to ride the little horse. Yeah.

I would just beg to go to Hy-Vee. I always loved those horses. Yeah. That's great. Beau saw one of those horses recently and just got on it and didn't ride or it didn't move. He just kind of stood there. Imagination enough was plenty. He loved it.

This is awesome. His name's Ben right here. My sister came over last night with her kids and brought her oldest boy, I think is 11. Cole is 11, I think. And he brought some toys to give to Bo. Oh, that's awesome. And one of them is this huge toy plastic airplane, like this bomber-looking plane.

And it has all these compartments in it and stuff. Bo was through the roof. I mean, he was so excited about it. And he's just been playing with it. He's already lined up all these army men with it and doing all this stuff. It's a really cool plane. That's great.

Yeah. My sister was like, we have this stuff like it's a really cool plane that's great like yeah my sister was like we have this plane it's huge uh and i was like let me look at it before just in case it's too big or what you look like yeah like just in case it's like you know we we can't just say yes to everything i looked at i was like that thing is huge but you can't say no to that like as a boy i would be so excited about that. You know? Big plane just reminded me. I have a confession. I twisted without you guys

this past weekend. What? I twistered. I went and saw it. How was it? So Rachel, we did the drive-in thing. I will admit though, I did the same thing. Not this week. Guys, I bootlegged it like three weeks before. I'm just kidding.

I have it on a VHS. Don't ask. It's the original, right? Yeah. I think I replied to your story. I was like, Twisters? Yeah. I didn't want to have to tell you.

I wanted to tell you face to face. Yeah. I respected that. But yeah, it was the night. I got back from the last night of the tour. So I wanted to treat Rachel. I was like, hey, I've got a little date night planned for us. And so it went to the drive-in movies, which I had that. But yeah, it was the night I got back from the last night of the tour. So I wanted to treat Rachel. I was like, hey, I've got a little date night planned for us. And so it went to the drive-in movies, which I had done maybe ever.

Once I got there, I was like, I don't think I've ever done this. Yeah. It sounds fun. I never have either. It was fun. And it was like the gates open at seven, but the movie doesn't start like 845. But I want to get there right at seven. So we get a good like parking spot.

It's first come, first serve. You ever been to this drive-in? The Merriam? Yeah. Once once or twice not very many times it's an interesting like it's just fun because on one end it kind of feels like arrowhead stadium like kind of tailgating vibes kind of like blue collar vibes and then once the sun sets and like the lights are off it felt very like, almost like kind of apocalyptic. We're like, there's no light. We're just using the moon. Yeah.

I can buy a funnel cake in cash if I want. Yeah. You know, and I'm just walking around myself looking for a trash can and I'm saying hi to other people and they've got their lawn chairs out. You know, it just felt like we're out of electricity or something. Or like, you know,

we're like all just getting by. Thankfully, it's- This is a community like all gathered after like the aliens killed everyone. Yes. It was like that. There's one or two cars moving, but moving very slowly with their lights off. It was something like War of the Worlds.

Yeah, was it kind of creepy almost? A little bit. Or a negative feeling? No, it was like we're all in this together. We all love tornadoes. We all survived the attack together. Did you turn on your FM radio or were there speakers as well outside? There were speakers that were built sometime around the Civil War that you can use. It's amazing where they found these things.

They look like World War I fireside chat speakers. They've survived a twist. They've been through their own ef5 um but you can just turn your radio to yeah the right station and that works great um so the whole experience is very fun we get there super early we get chilies to go we bring board games at a table a bunch of blankets so that was a blast um the movie so you've seen it timon yes all right let's talk to us and you saw it a couple years ago? I actually helped produce it. He was on set, yeah.

I was key grip. I was key grip. I held up the twister. Yeah, that was me. The twister, that was me. You were in a blue morph suit, moving the leads around. One more, Brad!

We could CGI it, or we got this guy who said he's down to move the branches he's from kansas manually yeah um so i the reason i i don't think i normally like seek out like action movies necessarily um but if people had said so many like good things about it i was like well i did like the first one back in the day let's let's watch it and um i didn't think it was that great one to ten 5.9 hey i rated it six whoa out of ten i thought it was like it's really close that's very close same same standard deviation if not much no you're round yeah yeah it was um you know it's fine so there's some funny parts where uh or not the movie's not trying to be

funny but so it's crazy the uh leading expert of tornadoes in the world is like this hot 23 year old girl oh yeah yeah and but she doesn't use data like you think she would that's why she's the leader she just stares at the sky and tells you what's gonna happen well she has the reason she's the expert is because she has a feeling and so that's why you gotta like you can't measure feeling you know they're going she's like west we need to go west but the data says we need to go west. But the data says we need to go east. West. It's west. Well, was she right? Every single time.

Really? She's never, the whole movie. Okay. She's never wrong. So why don't you believe her then? She's batting a thousand.

Yeah. What's there to complain about? So she's always right. It would be pretty easy to be always right when you, I mean, you live in,

you like visit the spot where there's a tornado every eight minutes. That's what's so funny. Wherever they live, every single day, every half hour, there's a new tornado. It's unbelievable. It's like, which one do you want to catch today? Which one do you want?

Well, we'll do the 530. Yeah, it's like they're fishing. Like, well, we go, this cove usually has sun. Right, right. Doesn't really matter. It's all tornadoes here. Oh, wow. They did the rattle off a lot of there i think they're in oklahoma i heard them still water got destroyed uh enid's in there yep k-life town sure um tulsa's in the mix i think yeah

anyway yeah that's a funny part there's tornadoes non-stop in this area it's like you can barely get like a conversation like oh yeah there's a new one sorry we gotta go chase this one sorry another one coming i would love to get to know. Like, oh, yeah, there's a new one. Sorry, we got to go chase this one. Sorry, there's another one coming. I would love to get to know you, but this is happening. That's kind of funny. Everything is just extremely hyperbolic, I would say. The frequency of the tornadoes, the size of them, the magnitude. More people die than I thought would.

Yeah. Opening scene. Spoilers. Don't get attached to those characters. Not going to see them much. They don't give you much time to. Not going to see them much. They don't give you much time to. I mean.

Now, what's that guy's name? Oh, never mind. Oh, he's gone. All right. Doesn't matter. I felt bad for like. Oh, because Rachel's seen it before. Yes.

Okay. Did she love it? I think she was like, yeah, it's good. Yeah. That's my real. I think it's like, this is fun for just like action. Yeah. Yeah. And the whole drive-in experience is like,

it feels right to watch Twister outdoors. Right. You know, in the elements. That felt right. It kind of feels like Twister. Yeah. It's that kind of movie where it's like, this is supposed to be fun.

This is not supposed to make sense. This is not supposed to like. I'd give it some leeway for sure. It's not going to win the Academy Award. I love Glenn Powell. I think he's fun. I think a lot of guys almost, he's getting the Matt Rife treatment, right? This guy's so hot and win the Academy Award. I love Glenn Powell. I think he's fun. I think a lot of guys, almost he's getting the Matt Rife treatment.

Like, this guy's so hot, and I see him everywhere, so I don't like him for that reason. I'm like, he seems fine to me. Yeah, he seems charming. Garrett Gibson texted me out of the blue last week. I'm out on Glenn Powell. You think he's hot or no?

He's out of nowhere. I've seen on the internet, people have said he looks like a Capybara who wished to become a human and i i see it and i agree i was gonna say he kind of reminds me of scott he has oh i i texted scott during i was like don't text him that i shouldn't have even said anything uh i was just like yeah every time he's on screen i'm like i think of scott that's funny yeah i didn't mind him i thought um his character was probably one of the least cheesy in the movie because there is a lot of cheesy dialogue and just like... Yeah.

So Glenn Powell's character, he is a YouTube live streamer, and his niche is like tornado content. Okay. But he doesn't go by... What's his name? His name's Tyler in the movie. He doesn't go by Tyler. He goes by...

T-Money. The Tornado Wranglerangler oh yeehaw um and his truck has got two like large like screws if i was a farmer i would know exactly what to call these these are things he would like till the soil with basically i see massive like screws that swivel around and burrow into the ground for what purpose well texas wrangler his thing he doesn't just like getting near the tornado he likes to try and predict where it's going and he will park his truck in the path of it and he's not doing anything for science he's just sitting there live streaming just sitting in the truck as the tornado goes over him so he burrows he like drills into the ground so his truck is

like in the earth i'm in on this movie. And then the massive tornado just like, I don't know. He's got the strongest windshield of all time. I don't know how this works. He has the strongest grip of all time. Like everything else is fine. Sitting in there live streaming,

which they're on the middle of nowhere, Oklahoma. Impressive that they're live streaming this. Yeah. 1080p. Yeah, that's right. So that was funny. I didn't mind him burrowing into the ground. I thought that part was actually. 1080p. Yeah, that's right. So that was funny. I didn't mind him burrowing into the ground. I thought that part was actually kind of cool.

I was like, that's a cool idea. Yeah, I'm into that. However, when he did it at the departure's place of the airport. I thought that wasn't funny. I was like, this is a dumb gag. I didn't like it. Like just in the cement. Like he's at the airport.

And they're like, sir, you got to go. You got to go. But he's like, but whatever her name is. you gotta go you gotta go but he's like but whatever her name is the girl is like about to leave the girl is over there he's like

to do what to do like sir you have to go you're gonna get towed right now click beep button

I dare you to tow me and now he just burrows into the pavement oh yeah let me deface your property and see what you're gonna do to me then it just didn't seem like

it was one of those movies where it's like you're not gonna do to me then. It just didn't seem like it was one of those movies where it's like you're not going to acknowledge the like legal consequences. No. Yeah. That's Hollywood.

I ate it up kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of that, I saw an Instagram reel this week and it was like how people in movies hang up the

phone. It was basically talking about how they never really give a proper goodbye. It was like, so I mean, ask you this for a

while, but I'd love to get to know you more. And then the guy that lines like, so it's a date and about how they never really give a proper goodbye it was like so um i mean ask you this for a while but i'd love to get to know you more and then the guy that lines like so it's a date and then hangs up the phone and it's like all this music's playing and he gets a call back like hello he's like when where oh yeah our spot tomorrow hangs up again gets a call back what time dude i don't know what time dinner time you know whatever just like dinner keeps going over and over and over and then eventually just hangs up he answers his phone just immediately hangs up again like pick you up at your place okay great see you wait sorry i i've never been to your house where do you live we've that's our first date so i would

have no idea how to get there can't wait no but like do you know how yeah where are we going like you'll see yeah always got once you notice it like yeah they are they do hang up abruptly or there's like an intense seed with two characters meet and it cuts the next scene like well how did they leave that situation that had to be awkward yeah you got done punching him so anyway do you think twisters was like twisters did pretty well i feel like in box office yeah is it just because there's no movies coming out maybe our standards have gotten lower i think so it's like hey that's a movie that i is palpable to see therefore i want to go see it it's yeah the avengers haven't come

out with anything in a while so yeah i'll see Twisters. It's fun to go and see something. It was a little bit of a romance in it. No kissing. What do you think of that? I saw that Stephen Spielberg was a producer, I think. Oh, with Brad? Yeah. Well, Brad was the main one.

He was the B producer or whatever. Yeah, S squared. But I think he was like, he didn't want there to be a kiss. I think there was, in the script, there was. For some reason, he didn't want it.

Spiel. I guess just to not make it, he couldn't have said it to not make it cheesy because the whole thing was kind of cheesy. But like, I don't know,

maybe just to. Interesting. I'm not sure actually, but I think I saw some article on that. That's interesting, yeah. Steve-O, he's done with kisses.

Would have been a 5.8 if there was a kiss according to him. Yeah, I would have went down one. Went a little notch. So, Glenn Powell's a Texas wrangler, but guess what? I'm a chicken wrangler. You dog. Yee!

Oh, how close can we get that? Maybe that's a half-baked idea. We just started a bunch of businesses that are really close. Yeah. Really close. And we just profit off of just being not that far away. It seems like Dairy Queen doesn't know they exist because that's got to be illegal. Right? How close close, how close is too close? And how, like if I call it the, if I, if I just put a word in between,

does that make it like, can I call it a Dairy King Queen? You know, like Dairy, the Royal Dairy Queen. Is that okay? Yeah. Dairy Queen 2.

Quick start with a K. There might even be something called a quick trip just spelled K with a K or something like that. You just misspell something. Maybe that's it. Yeah.

Let's do a quick schmores. So, beautifully ironic about this. I did not plan this as a bit whatsoever. But last night, I texted Brad and Tom. I was like, what if we do a schm we do tomorrow and like things you procrastinate on and honest to god i did not fill out my list i literally procrastinated on that which is truly amazing um but i feel like it should be easy to come up with stuff so yeah not worried about it um i don't think the poll from last week has come out yet anyone feel like they might have won timing i don't think so oh yeah okay okay brad i think you best friends people somebody did comment

comment on the youtube jake wins the best friends uh schmores this week okay so we have one vote so far misty moments 89 jake takes the cake on schmores so that's your vote so you win okay all right i'm gonna go time in me brad time all right brad okay and this is things you procrastinate i thought about making a joke sorry real quick um when i said things you procrastinate on i was just gonna do all mine uh as jake and i was gonna say finding a wife starting a family starting an acai bowl business so it's things you procrastinate yeah yeah that's great but i did slow all right time um i guess i don't know if this is my strongest one are you gonna start with it though smart for some reason

that's the strategy actually i relate to this very hard so i'm gonna say packing for a trip oh yeah that's great that's a great one yeah um yeah on my mental list i think it's typically yeah like midnight on the night before i leave it tends to be like I'm still figuring stuff out. That's a good word. Yeah. Packing for a trip. That's my first one. Yeah.

It almost seems odd to me. Anyone who's like, I actually can't. I don't have any clothes because I got a trip coming up in a few days. I already packed it away. I'm like, how do you live like that? Holy cow. I'm almost always like putting something in the laundry. The day you're packing.

Even like the night. The night of. And then I'm like, I'll wake up early enough to put it in the dryer the next morning. Yeah. And then like. Totally. I haven't packed anything yet. And I'm leaving tomorrow at eight in the morning.

Yeah. Be fine. What do you think about. Well. Do you know any guys who pack three days early? I'll just say that. No, I don't think so. I know girls.

Dude. Now that you mentioned that, I forgot to talk on the podcast about how I didn't have underwear this past weekend. Well. Oh, yeah. We're still on the I know girls. Dude, now that you mentioned that, I forgot to talk on the podcast about how I didn't have underwear this past weekend. Well, oh yeah. We're still on the podcast, baby. Oh, too late. Dang it. All right.

Packing for a trip. Yep. Put a sock in that underwear real quick. Jakes. Put a sock in your crotch. All right, get on with it. All right. Things people procrastinate to do.

I'm going to say sign up for the Ghost Runners Branson trip. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Hey, seems like that's somewhat happening. Stop procrastinating. Yes, I think that's great. Tickets are for sale at whatever point you're listening to this. Yep.

Ghostrunners.life slash Branson for your tickets. Friday night's going to be fun. All day Saturday's going to be the best day of your life. Sunday's going to be amazing and wholesome and fulfill you. Yes. What more do you want to weekend? It's fun seeing this about the one year anniversary of Grande Boo. Yes.

It's fun seeing, you know, all those kind of memories and stuff. So don't so many people like, man, I wish I could have come to Grande Boo, but I have my kids. Well, bring your kids with you. It's Branson. It's a family friendly amusement park. Yeah. We're trying to make this as fun and friendly for families as possible.

All right, my first pick, great pick, Jake. Probably win the draft on that pick alone. My first pick is going to be kind of time I already said it, but I'm going to say laundry, just in general. Dang it. Laundry. Okay. Okay.

Should have taken that one first. laundry. Okay. Okay. I, I, there are so many times where it's like you, especially maybe I'm just generalizing here. I'm sure girls do it too, but you can tell like a guy's low on laundry based on what he's wearing. So it's like, Oh, I haven't seen that shirt in a while, but yeah. Interesting. And there's, at least for me, I have, dude, I I've stocked up on my underwear recently. I mean, I'm talking, I have 15 pairs, but I still keep about two pairs back there that I don't ever intend on ever wearing again. Yep. Just in case they're a piece of fabric on, you know, these aren't the best ones, but you never know. So, uh, cause I procrastinate laundry sometimes. Uh, next one, I'm going to say, this is not current Brad. This is, uh, cause I procrastinate laundry sometimes. Uh, next one I'm going to say,

this is not current Brad. This is past Brad, but I'm going to say homework on the weekends, homework, homework on the weekend. Oh, you never, never want to do it on Friday afternoon. Yeah. Saturday you're like, I'll be fine. And all of a sudden Sunday you're like, I wish I wouldn't have procrastinated. I'll wait. I'll watch the chiefs game and then do it. Yep. I'm pretty tired. I'll take a nap. They'll help wait. I'll watch the Chiefs game and then do it. Yep. I'm pretty tired. I'll take a nap. It'll help me. I'll be more in tune.

And then I'll be awake. All of a sudden, Sunday night rolls around. You're starting your week off poorly because you procrastinated on the homework. Do your homework out there, ghosties. Come on. Homework on a weekend. Laundry was about the only thing I had in mind. I'm going to go with having to call someone with bad news. Okay.

Call or text someone when you... That's on my list. Having a difficult conversation or a scary conversation. Yeah. Oh, I could put that off. None other. I will find anything other than that to do. Well, now it's five they would probably

they don't want to go into their evening hearing that yeah i'll start their thursday thursday's a good day for bad news yeah or maybe friday to be better the balance house already in a good mood because it's friday so yeah yeah i get it i think i do that too but i think i've realized it myself like the best thing to do is to just do it as fast as possible or else I'll just be thinking about it. But yeah, it's harder. It's harder said than done.

I just calling people in general. I'm not great with, I don't like calling people. Yeah. I'll text somebody in five seconds, but calling people sometimes I gotta call them. Um, I'm going to say just responding to emails to emails oh i think that's pretty easy

to procrastinate on just like uh yeah especially if we got kind of like built up notifications for anything it's just like almost the more for me it's like the more built up it gets the easier it is like just like ah that's even bigger of a workload to yeah great it's like it's, the easier it is to like, just like, ah, that's even bigger of a workload to. Yeah. Agreed. It's like, it's like the more emotional and the more like deep and whatever, like expounding you have to be in the email, the more it's like, ah, sometimes people will send such nice, like my friend texted me such a nice text today and I haven't responded yet to it. Cause I have to respond really thoughtfully, thoughtfully back, which is great. I'm not complaining about this. Is it okay? Cause I had, is it okay to say

responding to messages or like, because emails and texts I think are kind of in the same, like, are they, can I pick both of those? Listen, because like, I don't think, I don't think you, you, you definitely can, in my opinion, but just responding to text in general, responding to emails in general, are we talking like, are we going to then go to the caveat of deeper than that? I think I'm just saying, just like responding to emails and texts. I think I'm just saying that. Okay. Great. Yeah. I'm right there with you. I've gotten so bad at it. I don't know what it is exactly.

I think I was actually like, not totally like going through something, but just like last week, I was like, I'm too accessible. I like, I just, I am overwhelmed with texts and emails and DMs. Brick, brick, brick. Oh yeah, I didn't even think about that.

Yeah, baby, I hear you. Yeah, it's just like, I'm just getting overwhelmed and getting like anxious about like, every day I wake up and people want something from me. And it's just, it's just like i i'm just getting overwhelmed and getting like anxious about like every day i wake up and people want something from me and it's just it's like and it's and then i can then i i have a pity party for myself and i think jake how lucky is it that people want to reach out to you someday you might a lot of people out there have no one reaching out to them what was you to be you know

complaining about this but right some days it is overwhelming and then i respond to no one and then people voice memo me and say jake you're a hard guy to get ahold of. I guess. Oh, that's, that's rough. You're a hard guy to get ahold of is rough. I know. It's like, well, you got a hold of me. I'm just a hard guy to have respond to you. Yeah. I, I, I, I read what you said. Inbound is there. Yeah. right. Dang. Yeah, you just become paralyzed sometimes with that. Yeah, because it's like, at a certain point, I guess I need to prioritize this.

So like, Rachel, you guys, the people I directly work with and live with is high priority. Anything else, it's like, I mean, yeah, I definitely could respond to that or I could like be present, you know? And it's that battle of like, well, they thought to respond.

They took time the other day to text text me something to ask me something. I Know I'm a big like hey, I'm gonna do this real quick Let me just compartmentalize and go like or I'm a big voice memo in the car guy. Yeah, it helps so much Yeah, the voice memo feature is beautiful. I should ring I should get I should practice voice memo wing because I like I I Don't do it because I just am so bad at it. I volunteer for you to practice on me. Yeah, you're a podcaster. You got it.

Yeah. It's fun. It's nice. It's great. All I ask is you don't brainstorm while voice memoing. Let's see. What was it? Oh, I had it when I started.

Yeah. I was voice memoing with you the other day and I was like, so I don't know. What else do I need to think about and saying to you I was like you know what I'll stop here and I'll send you more if I have more thoughts yeah I really appreciate that

we both do that with each other I can't think of it so I'll just let you go see ya alright alright turn and I'm gonna say this is kind of just a scenario

I'm gonna say taking a shower and I'm gonna say because like living with a bunch of siblings it's like during at some point in the day and you need a shower with a bunch of siblings like uh this always happens it's like you know you need to take a shower or like um and you're working on something else or something like that yeah and the moment you decide that you're working on something else or something like that. Yeah. And the moment you decide that you're going to take a shower, like someone else takes a shower. This is just like... Yeah, yeah.

So I'm just going to say procrastinating on taking a shower. I don't know. I'm with you there, though. I can always justify like, I was going to take one when I first got home, but now I don't feel sweaty anymore. Yeah, I feel fine. I had that same thing where it's like,

if I'm not actively wet with like, if I'm not like actively like wet with sweat, then I'm like, I somehow like the shower need feel like goes to the back of my mind. Dude, I could put a, I should do a two separate list. One is things have progressed in on a with mallet finger and one without, because anything that like gets this wet is so annoying. And then I have a wet finger for hours. So it's like, yeah, showering, washing my hands, brushing your teeth kind of a little bit.

It's maybe wet and hard. Yeah. Yeah. You like, yeah, showering, washing my hands, brushing your teeth kind of a little bit. It's maybe wet and hard. Yeah, yeah. Doing dishes probably. Eating anything with a fork. Sick of it. Yeah. Wiping. Oh, I procrastinate in that.

What about the bidet? I mean, it gets you 85% of the way there. Is that right? Mine does. And mine's? You got a good one. It's the jet. Yeah.

Fun fact for people who have been to a comedy show of mine, the jet is all made up. It does not exist. Do you know that? I do that joke about my bidets. Nozzle cleaner's true. I got pictures of that. But I say my bidet has got a dial that deals with pressure settings.

It goes from cloud all the way to jet. All that's made up. Mine doesn't have that. It's got the nozzle cleaner. So I tried to do jokes about the nozzle cleaner, and those't do as well so you changed the jet yeah so i switched it up just made it all up okay that's fun uh timing how many people are using the same shower in your house i mean pretty much well right now every single like kid is upstairs and there's one bathroom upstairs yeah so that's like the that's the shower spot. So it's tough. It happens a lot.

Yeah. Yeah. There are like, there's a shower in the basement and a shower on the middle floor. I'd say middle floor is probably the least used by the kids,

I think, because it's like my parents' shower. And the basement one's just like kind of scary. Like, yeah. There's a spider.

The basement one should be used more. I think it would avoid these problems, but yeah, upstairs is the hot spot. If one of the oldest kids thinks it's scary, There's a spider in there. The basement one should be used more. I think it would avoid these problems, but yeah, upstairs is the hot spot. If one of the oldest kids thinks it's scary, think about what Mylon's thinking down there.

Don't make me shower down there. It's scary. All right, good answer, Time. Thank you. Is it back to me? Yeah. Kind of specific to me, specific to some ghosties too.

I guess generically I could say fitness, but for me, just running my mile. Yeah. Like i've ran it in the morning a good handful of times and i know how great it feels to have your mile done in the morning but i still don't do it uh and i know how it's that's the coolest part of the day every reason in the world is pointing towards doing the morning and i don't i procrastinate i'm like i'll just do it later it's not a big deal it's just 10 minutes dude that's there's a devo in there you know it's just like we know the right thing to do.

Yeah. Why are we idiots? Why do I do the things I, what is Paul's line? You know, why do I do the very things I don't want to do? Like we know exactly how good it's going to make you feel. You know, you're going to be so much happier that you've done it. Yeah. And yet we go away from it.

Yeah. Have you heard the expression, eat the frog? No. I was going to say something dumb. Yeah. You're going to be like, oh yeah, totally. Yeah. Yeah. What's the, have you heard the expression eat the frog? No, I was going to say something dumb. Yeah. You're going to be like, Oh yeah, totally. Yeah. No, it's a ancient. Yeah. Yeah. Malaysian Taiwan. I think David Blaine said that. And then reappear the frog is the second phrase. The idea of like, Hey, if, if you have the task and one of your tasks for the day is to eat the frog, eat the frog first. Therefore you don't have to worry about eating the frog all day. So the idea is like, do the hardest thing.

I don't know. I, I, yeah, I didn't make it up. I don't know. Yeah. You never heard it either. No. Okay. There's a phrase called bird down the schoolhouse and like, obviously you don't want to burn down the school. It's like the kids are in there. What are you doing? But do it first. Do it before the kids get in there. Do it before school? It might make you uncomfortable, but do it first. Do it now. It's out of the way. Do it before the kids get in there. Do it before school. Yeah, there's a kid. Oh, yeah.

Arson before dawn. That's a Magic Treehouse book. Arson before. Arson. Arson in the afternoon. Smoke before sunrise. Oh, my gosh. That's the alliteration. Yeah, that's the way they do it.

That's amazing. Burning before breakfast. All's the alliteration. Yeah. That's the way they do it. That's amazing. Burning before breakfast. All right. My next one, I'm going to say... I've got some good ones. I'm going to say signing up for the Ghost Runners trip in Branson. Oh, that's a good pick. Yeah.

That's a good pick. It's just going to be the best weekend of your life, I think. Remind me what's happening Friday. Social birdie slash absolute awesome hangout, live music, golf simulators, pickleball. Well, I was kind of wanting to go to Andy's. Oh, they'll have custard there just like Andy's. Oh my gosh. Yeah. A hundred percent. Will my dad be there? Your dad will be there. Will time and Zabi there? No one knows. Come and find out. Look for a shiny head. Yeah, that's right. Every bald guy like, Hey, I'm looking for a bald guy yeah that's right every bald guy like hey i'm looking

for a bald guy are you brandon brandon yeah sing real quick sing unencumbered by instruments for me real quick yeah right yeah what kind of van you drive so that's my that's my first okay good pick and then for my last pick i'm going to say uh getting groceries getting groceries i think so often it's like let's just see if we can survive one more day on what we got in the fridge you know let's i don't know peanut butter and banana sandwich now peanut butter and just peanut sandwich no bread peanut butter stick on a piece of spoon yeah what if we did peanut butter stick yeah what if we did peanut butter stick yeah let's look in the freezer good ranchers is there so um yeah getting groceries yeah or just going out to eat that's the best so it's like there's nothing to eat i guess we gotta go to chipotle and uh yeah so

getting groceries my last pick yeah i had on my list eat a frog but i feel like you kind of already somebody somebody's gonna be like yeah i've heard that i didn't invent but i feel like you kind of already somebody somebody's gonna be like yeah i've heard that i didn't invent it i don't you kind of already said that once yeah like i can't do that i'm gonna say like just cleaning just like decluttering cleaning whatever you need to do okay like my house has been a mess for i don't know six months and i you know and i justify being like well we have all this bondi stuff i could still clean up the house you know, and I justify it being like, well, we have all this Bondi stuff. I could still clean up the house. You know, we could. But, you know, it's like, well, yes, I need to hang up a lot of my clothes.

They're getting wrinkly. But that's why I got a steamer. It's fine. I can still find my clothes for the most. It's summertime. How many clothes do I really need? T-shirt, shorts, Ghostwriters merch. We got it.

Ghostwriters.life.shop. So, yeah, I have so bad procrastination on any kind of like home cleaning. Yeah. I would say. Yeah. Yeah. I hear you. I want to know, there's got to be some science out there of why we do procrastinate like

this. Like the five second. Why is it so common? The five second procrastinations. The, I'm going to put my cup in the sink by the dishwasher instead of putting in the dish. Why do we do that? Why do we think. Change a light bulb on a lamp. So easy. So easy in this. Why do we do that? Why do we change a light bulb on a lamp?

So easy. So easy. Yeah. Why do we do that? Is it because we feel like if we do that plus this plus this, it's like three things all of a sudden is compounding on top of each other. You know, like is it like a inherent laziness that humans have? Like I want to do the bare minimum or probably I'm

theorizing. Yeah yeah I don't know okay time in um so we all know the frog saying that everyone has always used the frog in this instance eat the frog hole is the is getting tickets for the Branson weekend oh good answer if it's on your list okay just do it I mean

everyone's just putting that off um and it's gonna be super fun so I think I think probably stop procrastinating. I think this one, the next time we do this more, it shouldn't be on anyone's list. Right. Because we'll have fixed it. Because we'll have all signed up.

Yeah. You've been to Silver Dollar City. Yes. Was it fun or not fun? It was amazing. Was it like, were the roller coasters cool or not cool? Cool. You've been entertained by us before.

Yes. Was it entertaining or not entertaining? Entertaining. Okay. And you've been to ghostrunners.life slash Branson before? Yes. Are the tickets on sale or are they not for sale? Believe it or not, even with the slogan changed, the tickets are still on sale.

That's right. Very good timing. Okay. Oh, but I don't like roller coasters. I don't want to do that. Let me tell you about a little something called the flooded mine. Wait, I don't know about the flooded mine. Get your trigger finger ready. Yeah. Oh, but I don't like roller coasters. I don't want to do that. Let me tell you about a little something called the flooded mine. Wait, I don't know about the flooded mine. Get your trigger finger ready.

Yeah. Oh. Because they sometimes work. Yeah, I was going to say, maybe get a couple of them ready. So it's these old-fashioned guns where the trigger, I mean, it takes a thousand pounds of PSI to pull this trigger. So I like to use two fingers, and then you got to switch to your left hand at some point, but it's basically this slow, very slow ride on water.

You don't get wet or anything. It's a lot of fun. There's all those little circles. Hundreds of bullseyes. It's nice and cool in there. It's cool. In high school, some of my naughty friends, they would sneak off. No way.

You would just like get off the boat and find these like emergency exits. I was in a room one time with just all these switches. I don't know what they all controlled. You? Yeah, I did. You were naughty? Yeah. You were naughty? You were naughty once? Jake. There's a Devo in there. It sounded pretty fun.

There's a Devo in there. You can hop off the boat. All of a sudden, you're in a different land, doing different things. It's amazing what one little deviation can do to you. 1%. DV. When you get off that narrow, narrow river. That's right. What's it called? The flooded mine i think it's

the flooded mine yeah bo would love that oh yeah he would bo he would want to do that a million so they would oh my gosh i i genuinely think bo's gonna have trouble pulling the trigger but he doesn't need to know i don't think he cares yeah i don't think hattie would understand that she can't pull the trigger but you get some audio feedback. Okay. Really annoying sound from everywhere. Ding, ding. Ding, ding. I kind of like this sound. Because you know you're hitting it.

Hey, there's something for everybody. Hey. It's your mind. Chad GPT said, The psychology behind procrastination is complex and often linked to a combination of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral factors. Sounds like my wife.

Yeah. I know somebody else like that doesn't even make sense like calling her smart cognitive seems good um step one step i don't know concept one temporal discounting sounds fancy humans tend to prioritize immediate gratification over long-term rewards procrastination occurs when the rewards or satisfaction of avoiding a task in the short term outweigh the benefits of completing it later. That makes sense. The brain prefers immediate comfort over future gains. Yeah, but even like what we're talking about with like cleaning the house, that's immediate,

quote unquote, immediate comfort. But maybe it's like, this is going to take me 15 minutes. That's too much. And so that there is a process. Because I understand the idea of like, I want to write a book. It's really hard to get started. You know, that's going to take a while. Yeah.

Concept three says task aversion. That seems. Yeah. If a task is boring, difficult or unpleasant, the brain naturally seeks to avoid it. That makes sense, too. Sure. Interesting. Nothing about the frog.

I looked up Eat the Frog and there's a book. I don't know if it's that popular of a book. It's a children's book. It's got 8,500 Amazon reviews. Hey. Hey. So it's popular enough. Eat that frog.

21 great ways to stop procrastinating and get more done in less time. Rachel found a book at a thrift store or something recently called Love That Dog. Okay. And she bought it. She thought it was so cute. Just a funny thing you would say, love that dog. I think I she bought it. She thought it was like this. So cute. Like just a funny thing. You would like say, I love that dog.

You know, I think I've actually said that to Rachel. Like I'll be like patting her leg. I'm like, man, you're a good dog. You know that, you know,

love that dog, man. That was a good dog. Just saying weird stuff. And so she bought it. And a couple of days like, you ever get that book? She's like, yes,

I do. It's right here. I'm just going to flip to a page and read it she starts reading the page it dude it was it was unbelievable the page she flipped to it was like and what was it something like and it's funny that we named him sky because in the end that's where he returned he's no longer with us and he returned to the sky he's up in heaven now it's like oh my gosh like the second sins love that dog's dead he died immediately and she flipped like the middle of the book so i don't know dude we're still we're still uh just this weekend in memphis we're still talking about the hundred thousand dollars for your dog conversation it's still just like it's a very

hot topic people go back and forth on it i need to love those dogs i do love those dogs i laying in bed last night with rachel i said man i want a dog so bad i would still sell it yeah can i just get a dog and you just watch it a good amount yeah would that be cool i would love that because like you have a fence we're gonna need it some you know we're gonna need your help some oh i think that the dog we're gonna need it to help out around now set the table clean up oh yeah frog i'm just worried about the neighbor's dogs and so then our dog would just bark at that dog all the time marco marco and then because marco on the other side of them has some other dog and they just bark at each other all the time so i'm like is that every time the dog goes outside is just going to be barking

that's a good point that's that could be annoying. What kind of dog would you get? Golden Retriever or Lab, I think. Golden. I love Goldens, dude. But Golden Shed. Great. So do I. You know what?

Yeah, honorable mentions.? What was it? Yeah, honorable mentions. Someone said something. I only have one. Okay. I don't know how relatable this is, but having to deposit checks. Oh, dude, that's hilarious. Yes.

I procrastinate on that. I have a check. So my grandma died however many months ago. My parents paid me back for my flights to cleveland when i went to what are you doing that crap hole san jose ohio what are you doing that crap hole um i still have not deposited that check yeah it's in my truck and you can do mobile deposits even that tough for me sometimes it's like uh you got to get like a neutrally dark background for the i have mallet finger i'm not trying to sign right now yeah i avoid anything

writing it's so silly yeah maybe that is more relatable yeah depositing checks depositing checks is good um trying to think of what else i was thinking of earlier um sometimes just getting out of bed oh that's good i know it's a micro one starting your day just oh i i really that's so hard i oh yeah i will i will like have every intention of getting up at like six 30 on a morning and like, just keep pushing my alarm. I wake up and then set my alarm a little bit, like 15 minutes later. Right. 15 minutes later.

Yeah. I'll go ahead and go on the flip side, going to bed. Sometimes I just procrastinate that. Yeah. Even more so. Yeah. Yeah. You're just like, like so often this is silly, but this is how I feel sometimes. So often it's just like, all I got to do is stand up and go and get ready for bed. And I just, I'm just sitting on the couch and I'm just like, so comfy. I don't want to stand up right now. I don't want to get up. Yeah. So, so I eat the frog and get up. Eat that freaking frog.

The dishes sometimes. No, emptying the dishwasher, I think. I really don't like emptying the dishwasher. That's so much worse than loading it. Why is that? I think it takes a little longer, probably. Yeah, maybe so. Find the places for everything. But I hate unloading the dishwasher. Speaking of dishes not taking

that long, Hattie and I, new kind of fun trend game, whatever. So I told you that we've been like listening to more music, plugging our phone in and stuff. Hattie and I, Hattie's job for dinner time, Bo always sets the table,

Hattie clears the table. And so Hattie's job for dinner time is clearing the table. And so I've started, you know, the song by Drew Holcomb. It's like family. Oh yeah. I play that song and it's like, whatever, three some minutes long. And our goal is to try to clear and do all the dishes by the time that song's over. Oh, that's great. Yeah. And it,

we're so close. We haven't completed it yet because we're like, no, we have to even like wipe down the table and everything. Uh, but it's almost like this choreographed, like Disney, like, like scene from a Disney movie like Hattie runs and grabs him and then passes him to me so she'll run and grab him family somebody in the kitchen you know like back and forth like doing a spin with like

stacked plates it's so fun so it's just a fun way to rolling them down your arm but it does make you realize like hey if you're focused on this thing for three minutes you can do most of it as long as it's not like those like really greasy dishes that you yeah it's like what you've said about like how much you can get done during like a 30 second microwave yeah yeah i love that yeah what was the thing that you said uh however many months ago where it was like if it takes less than two minutes do it right away something like that

oh my thing is uh if you're procrastinating on something oh convince yourself like i'm only gonna do it for five minutes right i don't need i'm only gonna do it for two minutes seriously that's it i'm only gonna you know and then you've like this isn't so bad because the idea is let's finish it starting it is the hardest part yeah so therefore hey just start it but just just go for a little bit i'm gonna run a mile i'm gonna run 0.1 mile yeah you're running like i'll just finish this i mean i, I'm already warmed up. Yeah. That's good. That's a good word, too.

Good word, too. I had getting ready to leave the house. I have a huge problem with this. Like, I will wait till the last second to like. Oh, kind of gather things. Just gather things and leave. I'm late a lot of the time. Yeah.

Yeah. Me, too. Just like, yeah, time management stuff. It shouldn't be that hard. It's like, I was awake in time. I just didn't like pack my bag in time. Yeah. And I'll just or I'll be that hard. It's like I was awake in time. I just didn't like hack my bag in time. Yeah. And I'll just, or I'll be just like, it could be as, it could be just like getting distracted on like Instagram or just like I'm working on like an edit, but, and I'm like, I just

in the zone right now. Don't finish it in time. Yeah. Or don't like pause. I'm always, I'm always like coming over here on Wednesdays and I, it's because I just want to spend like a little more time with my family. And it's like, that's a good thing, but it's like, I know I got, you got to leave to go take a shower and leave. Like just rough.

Yeah. I hear you. Um, I had unpacking from a trip. Oh, that's not bad. Yeah. I think that's similar to unpacking.

I, I procrastinate unpacking. Dude, that's one that I've gotten good at not procrastinating on. And I love unpacking immediately. Right. My mom always like, like really wants us to because she

gets annoyed when it's which understandably so yeah um so yeah i've been doing better but yeah it's an easy one to practice and then canceling free trials okay oh yeah um i saw my credit card statement i've been paying for hbo max when did i sign up for that that's a bummer i've never watched anything on there i want to get one of those yeah it was like what is it rocket money or something like that not a sponsor

but yeah it is yeah it like tells you it's pretty nice I should try that yeah yeah what about you said something

what did you say you said oh canceling I can't remember now awesome cancel the frog guys cancel the frog man alright Brad I know got to go to indiana

should we do our wins of the week comment of the week wrap this sucker up yes let's do it first of all yeah one of the reasons i gotta go is shout out to my dad my dad's getting this really cool prestigious wall wall of fame award at his that's what it is yeah where he worked for the last however many 35 years uh johnson county community college shout out to my dad uh i feel like it's like the biggest honor from what i understand like the biggest honor you can get as a faculty member wow um yeah we're pumped we're gonna go support him so that's why i gotta gotta kind of cut this episode short but uh that's my that's my first one of the week um second one of the week uh you know when you drive for eight

hours by yourself you you do things you don't usually get the time to do procrastinating things i finally deleted all my old voicemails that i had like there were so many voicemails from scam calls that i just knew were so i had 96 unlisted to voicemails and i deleted them all that's fun and now i have zero on listen to voicemails after the podcast last week i was sitting here with time and i deleted all of the like message like the the media from like my i message on my computer like any oh yeah photo or video they've been sent to me it was like 72 gigabytes of data that's exactly it's so crazy how much oh yeah okay i have been living different since last week i got so much room can i ask ask a question? 70, can I ask a question?

Sorry, yes. Okay, thank you. 72 gigabytes of data on your iMessage. But if you get texted, like, you know how these days, like the iOS, you can download the photo there. So therefore, is it in the iMessage and in your phone? Or if I delete the iMessage photo, do you think it deletes it from my photos as well?

No, I think they're separate. Praise God. Okay, I will delete everything now the iMessage photo, do you think it deletes it from my photos as well? No, I think they're separate. Praise God. Okay. I will delete everything now for my, like, that's great. Cause anything I need, I'll, I'll save. Yeah. I would imagine they're saved at two different spots. So yeah, I think you're good. I thought so, but it just scares you when you're like, okay, you have 70 gigs of media. Cause I like not my text, not ever deleting. It's fun. Someone texts you haven't heard from a while, like, oh, last time we texted was 2019. That's kind of fun. But all those gigs. I'll do two quick wins of the week as well.

One, my favorite sport, padel, is in Kansas City. I've been playing it. It's been great. Me and Rachel have been paired up playing with another couple, Calvin and Molly.

Molly played college tennis. And so it ends up being very even. Last night even we played. Went to the third set. The third set was tied 6-6. Went to a tiebreaker. That was tied 6-6. And eventually Calvin hit a ball,

two balls in a row out of the park. So like that feels like a good place to end up. It was so funny. We hadn't hit a ball out the whole night. So that's been a blast. Thursday, I texted all the guys. I was like, hey, let's get trey something for like having us out on this tour with them and so we got him a padel racket and so trey's want to play so i think me

trey and isaac are playing thursday and we were trying to find a fourth like who could just do this in the middle of the day and i think molly is going to join us perfect isn't that fun yeah so yeah padel's here it's such a cool vibe outside of there la casa de padel is it outside yeah it's outdoors cool it's really cool um i outside of there. La Casa de Padel. Is it outside? Yeah, it's outdoors. Cool. It's really cool. I think Andrew Schultz, you said he was there in Philadelphia

when you were there? Yeah, Pedophilia. Yeah. I heard on an interview with somebody else, they were like, yeah, I was in Brooklyn playing Padel. I'm obsessed with this thing called Padel. And Andrew Schultz was there.

So I think he might just be obsessed with Padel. He is. He's talked about his podcast quite a bit. Yeah, he loves it. I think he's pretty good at it. Anyway, that's one win. Second win is Procrastinated about his podcast. Yeah, he loves it. I think he's pretty good at it. Anyway, that's one win. Second win is procrastinated. A couple nights ago, it was 11, like 48 p.m.

And Rachel's like, have you done your mile yet? I'm like, how am I this dumb? How do I keep forgetting all the time? And so then I'm like, all right, I guess I got to get I'm like getting out of bed. I got to go like get dressed. That's a rough feeling. Get my shoes on. And then what's it's not

like oh it's annoying then it becomes wait i have to finish this before midnight like those are the rules and so then i and most of the time when it's this hot and this humid i'm running like nine minute miles they're not fast they're just get them done and i left my house at like 7 52 i was like i gotta finish this it's on my win of the week, I ran a seven, like 16 mile. It finished at like 1159. Let's go. I was just having to like, just run as fast as I could. Were you cooked after that? Or were you like, I might as well run my other mile now?

Yeah. So I took a break for like two minutes. And then a police officer drove by twice. I was like, I think one of these houses called the cops on me. Maybe you were sprinting by. Yeah. I was like, I did have a shirt on. I was just standing in front of their house, sweaty for like five minutes.

I was cool enough. But then before the cop could come back again, I started running again. So I was like, I did have a shirt on. I was just standing in front of their house, sweaty for like five minutes. I was cool enough. But then before the cop could come back again, I started running again. So I was like, let's run away from him. That's funny. Anyway, those are my wins. Fitness. Another thing real quick. I think you filmed those videos after one of your miles.

Oh, I did. It was that night. It was that night. I forgot about that. I saw multiple cameos. Yeah, there were some ghosties that are doing an unsanctioned fantasy football draft. But yeah, we made a draft order video for them, but we forgot about it until after we were apart. And so I thought your stuff was so funny.

Really? Oh, thanks. We basically did this thing where Jake would introduce me doing an impersonation over and over again for every pick. So with the first pick, you guessed it, Patrick Mahomes. And then he said, you guessed it every single time. And so I was showing it to all my friends and we were dying lab, especially when you're like, you guessed it. It's Jackson Mahomes again. Oh yeah. I made you do multiple Jackson Mahomes impersonations. How is that? I didn't do great with them, honestly. We'll put the video on Patreon or something,

but I did them in my truck as I was driving home because I totally forgot too. So it's one of those things where when you're just with friends, you don't think about that stuff. Yeah. And then you do them. So yeah, that was funny.

I was like, I'm doing like this recurring bit, but I hope this is funny. I don't have an audience. It's in front of your house at 1230 at night. So funny just to say, you guessed it. Because sometimes it was like some made up character It's in front of your house at 1230. So funny. Just to say, yeah, you guessed it. And because sometimes it was like, that's a made up character or something like character. You would have never guessed.

So this hilarious, you're like, you guessed it. It's Shrek. Shrek. If he was Australian. Yeah. All right.

Time. And when in the week? Um, yes, I, okay. Yesterday, my friend,

Zach, he got home from Florida or no, he got home late Monday night. And so we've been trying to find some excuse to get together sometime during a day to watch a movie, because every time we try to watch a movie, it's like in an evening and I start falling asleep every time. It's one of my like, yeah, negative quirks is like, I can't. I just have such a problem with falling asleep during a movie if it's like any time like uh yeah negative quirks is like i can't i just have such a problem with falling asleep during a movie if it's like any time in the evening yeah uh i just get tired if i'm like sitting in the same spot doing just only like taking it in so we just got he just came over

to my house like yesterday afternoon um and we watched a movie together hung out so i was like a win that we just could get that done because he's like got back from work and had taken off like two days or got back from vacation took off two days and work yeah so yeah are you allowed to tell us what you watched yeah yeah we watched uh the fall guy oh yeah yeah new ryan gosling movie that's pretty good out of 10 honestly maybe seven or eight okay all right Comment of the week. Mine is coming from Charlie Sounders, 4744. You left us on our Wednesday YouTube video. Hey, Jake and Brad, today's my first day of college.

It made me realize that you guys have been with me through most of high school. Wow. You guys have made more of an impact than any teacher or adult I've ever met. That's crazy. He's a seriously, I, I'm the person I am today because of you guys. Throughout high school, I always had this podcast making me laugh and inspiring me to be more like you both. And now this podcast will be doing the same for me in college.

I'm not joking when I say most of the craziest times of my life so far, I could always turn to this podcast just to get a laugh. I seriously love you guys and Tymon. You always managed to brindle my weaver. That's what's up. Love you guys, Charlie. Charlie. So kind, manle my Weaver. That's what's up. Love you guys. Charlie. Charlie.

Man, that's, that's so sweet. Thanks, Charlie. Chuck. That's, that's,

that's really cool, man. Uh, I've got one comment of the week. It's on a Friday pickleball video. This channel is giving Mr.

Beast and it doesn't help that the comment section is radiating positivity so hard it would give Marie Curie's corpse cancer. Well, fine. I'll step up and be the

bleep grown up around here. I can't abide by content that encourages more happy-go-lucky influencer types to swarm the courts at peak hour just to try to be funny during the points. Mostly kidding. No, that's not accurate. More like 10% kidding. So, main takeaway, we're like Mr. Beast.

I would say so. That's a positive comment in my mind. He thinks setting up cameras, three cameras on a tripod're like Mr. Beast I would say so that's a positive comment in my mind he thinks setting up cameras three cameras on a tripod is like Mr. Beast so that that was pretty

fun pretty cool that's pretty boomer energy from a guy who knows who Mr. Beast is yeah I was like Scott sent that over I was like dude don't even respond

that guy is so upset at himself it's not worth it actual comment Elizabeth Virgil the opening of this episode is why I love this podcast so much

it's so clear that Brad and Jake are such good friends who love to make each other laugh. They're kind enough to share that friendship with us. So I think she's referring to you spitting on yourself. I saw that comment. I was like,

what was that beginning again? Let me read that or listen to that. And I think she is referring to that. So that's so funny. We're having a good time. So, all right guys, thank you for being gracious to us for the little bit shorter episode here
