But just to give a sneak preview of one yeah a ghost he sent in at the walgreens pharmacy drive-thru the phone wasn't working so i mouthed

i can't hear you yeah she brought over a girl who could do american sign language and she started signing i was so I froze. What would you have done? It's not working. I can't hear. I would have. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

I'll. Okay. No problem. I'll be right back. I would have done it. That's how they end their sentences. Now your turn. Okay.

Yeah. They pass it off to you. I would have signed. I would have signed and just hoped that they would be like... It's the pharmacy. You have to show what's wrong. Oh, gosh. Yeah, you're right.

Pharmacy, yeah. It's not like normal words at a pharmacy. Yeah, it's not like, where is the bathroom? It's just like, it's like Ozempic, but cheaper. How do you get rid of that? How do you say that? That was probably not a good start for your podcast. YouTube, we're acting things out.

Hey, say the Ozempic but cheaper part again and then we'll roll the music from there. Okay. I told the girl, it's like Ozempic But cheaper Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Uh oh Ooh I think this tight beat means

That it's going down with some random thoughts And white meat too, Midwest best friends Eating fast food on repeat so come along Let's have some fun and go ahead Get on your feet cause this is the Ghost Brothers Podcast Ghost Brothers Podcast Everybody morning Come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet, cause this is the Ghost Rubs Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Rubs Podcast. Ghost Rubs Podcast.

Hey, hey, hey, Wednesday morning. Hi, Tymon. How are you doing today? I'm doing well, Brad. How are you? You didn't keep the rhythm going. It was such a fun rhythm, too. Oh, hey, baby, baby. I'm just getting ready to juke some people at Arrowhead, baby. We should be getting a playbook email any second.

I hope we get it while we're recording. Me too, dude, for multiple reasons. Atipa said, I will send you, she said, I'm sending you a note that the playbook link is coming soon brad said oh that's so corporate using her playbook i said no it's an actual playbook they're gonna get in the game yeah we get to play i told you i was like i mean obviously they wouldn't let us like go out and play on the field but how amazing would it be if they're like, here's your locker, here's all your stuff, suit up,

run out with the team in the tunnel. Yeah. We would be sore thumbs. First of all, just we'd be, I'd be way behind everybody else. Just chugging along. Let's go. Let's go.

I would, uh, on one end, it feels like, oh yeah, we would like definitely stand out but on the other end it's like there are people on the chief's team our size yeah but usually like if they're your size they're not your skin color and usually if they're my size they're taller than me like that's true like i'd be like the size of a cornerback out there but like looking like a lineman yeah so I would need to,

I got to go arm sleeves. Okay. To cover that up as best I can. You go solid, like undershirt arm sleeves, or would you just go a bunch of like a compression sleeve? Oh, a bunch of like five different arm bands.

You know, I think no less than 12 wristbands. Yeah. It's all the way up my arm, red and yellow, red and yellow. I think you should rock the quarterback, a little velcro thing

yeah i'm talking like madden create a player give me every accessory this is my only time suiting up for the chiefs i'll take one of everything totally and just you get to keep those then yeah i think it'd just be fun to just like be the guy like i think you know how like my always plays catch before he goes on in the field for every drive i think you and i should also play catch next to my homes and just kind of yeah get it loose yeah get it loose just in case and and you'd have the armband on so he's like dang i didn't realize we had this guy as a backup quarterback too yeah i'm looking at that i'm actually mainly looking i'm not really throwing the ball that much i'm just kind of looking down a bunch this is my mallet finger it makes it hard

to throw the ball so i'm just kind of catching and reading the plays i feel like in high school like before i played uh on the like before I played on the, like before I played on Friday nights, they sometimes like, we'd just be joking around on the sidelines and everyone's while the coach would get so like, so fired up. Like,

what are you guys doing? Hey, we smile. Yeah. We're down by two. You guys are smiling. Like we're laughing. He's like,

I'm gonna put you in the game. Ellis will put you in just to show you. And I'm like, I don't even have my gloves. Like I don't have anything with me. I don't have my, my, you know, mouth guard. I'm not ready to go in the game. Please don't put me on punt return.

You get in trouble for just like joking around too much. Yeah. It sounds like your football coach was wild from what I've heard. Truly like abuse, like verbally. One of my football coach, have I talked about this? One of them recently like got like abuse, like verbally. One of my football coach, have I talked about this? One of them recently like got like arrested, went to prison for relations with a female student. Oh, okay.

So that was my offensive line coach. Oh, okay. There was my defensive line coach was amazing. He was awesome. Yeah, strong hands as well, but not, no. I talk a lot about like the idea in anything, whether it's corporate leadership, parenting, whatever the idea of like high challenge, high support. Okay. Yeah. And I think, I think Sparky, my, my director at Kenna cook was awesome at that. Like so good at like, Hey, I'm going to expect really, really like big things

from you, but I'm also going to cheer you on and like be there with you. And like, and this defensive line coach was that he was like, so pumped when I did well, like pushing me in the right direction, but also like you have, you have more in you. Like, let's go push hard. Like, what are you doing? You know? And I would, I would respond to that.

Well, but if someone just abused me the whole time, I didn't like it. No. And I think some people are weirdos and like get excited. Like, yeah, I need that negative. I need that negative like reinforcement like you're no good. Yeah, I want to scream about my personal life. That's awesome, right? But if I do

something good, that guy was screaming good things. If I did something bad, he was like, let's go. You're better than that. Come on. And I'm like, I am better than that. Get down the line let's do it again when i think about a defensive line coach i think about a like an overweight guy standing up kind of using it as a k-no it's a ball attached to a stick and the ball is painted green did you guys do that there you go uh no i know you're i've seen smagnola use those okay we

always had them in our yeah so the ball's painted green it stands you know it blends in with the grass that way you really pay attention to watch the ball's painted green. It blends in with the grass. That way you really pay attention to watch the ball. Oh, that's why they do that. Yeah, yeah. That makes sense. Teach you to watch the ball. Don't listen to the quarterback.

No, our defensive line coach, I mean, he wasn't the most in shape guy, but the offensive line coach was the big man. Yeah. He's like, oh, yeah, man, we'll get brats after this. And it's like, I don't want brats. It's hot, coach. I just want to go home. Yeah.

I want to hang out with you more. So anyway. Anyway. So just want to go home. I want to hang out with you more. So anyway. Anyway. So that's a playbook. What? Yeah. No email yet. That's fine.

We'll get there. Speaking of sports, a couple days ago, something came across my feed. It was a pickleball video. You know I like to make those. Yeah, yeah. And my buds. And anyway, so we shot a video a few weeks ago.

It's one of our best performing short form videos in a long time. It was like when you miss an overhead. And we had the whole torture scene. Tymon did a really good job shooting and editing it, color grading it. It was awesome. It looked really good. Brando's van. Yeah.

Yes. Brando's van-o. And anyway, that's like our first million view video in a little bit first like tiktok you know it's very well performing video and a few days ago i see someone else post i guess i don't need to show it to you they posted the exact same but they made their own oh the exact same video not literally reposting your video but taking yeah it so it's one thing so this has happened to me and trey or people before like maybe once a year something this exact same video not literally reposting your video but taking yeah it so it's one thing so this has happened to me and trey or people before like maybe once a year something this happens it's

usually like it's annoying whatever move on they don't know any better they're not actually a creator or anything they probably don't even know they're stealing this is another pickleball company who also sells paddles and also creates content to promote your paddles oh is it you don't have to say it but like is it i will say it i'm mad at them okay addict pickleball okay so have they done something like this already once not to us but they have stolen from other people before okay so i mean everything look it up time an addict pickleball okay um they stole everything so it's like the the premise is the same like when you miss an overhead the framing the composition of every single shot is this is the same the same lines the same oh i'm sorry i'm sorry hey it's okay come with me and walk over side you're gonna show me some of

your phone or something uh something like that pushes them down trips i mean it's the exact it's a shot for shot remake of what we did you see the same dialogue i'm just looking at it the same jokes like they didn't elevate it they didn't make it their own. They just redid our viral video. They did the sudden color change. They did the color change. They dunked a guy in the water. They, you know, they had duct tape over them.

You know, whatever. They did the whole thing. So I saw it. I was like, that's kind of crazy. Like it's one thing to like someone stole my joke or whatever. Like they took time to like they spent hours yeah like taking our you know whatever content and so if they weren't also selling paddles i don't even know if i would have cared but it's like we are directly competing with them not only in content and yeah and manufacturing and sales and everything and

so oh my gosh yeah it crazy. I just couldn't believe this. And so then I go look at their page and their top two, like two of their pinned reels are also things that they stole from other people. Not you, but like other accounts. Anyway. Wow. And so you, you commented, I see. Yeah, they said, thanks for the inspo, Friday Pickleball. You bet, yeah. I said, this is an inspo. You stole everything. And then so I was like, I'm going to DM them.

Yeah. And so I said, hi there, my name is Jake. I'm one of the owners of Friday Pickleball as well as a touring stand-up comedian. And in the comedy world, what you might call inspo, we would call stealing. After looking through your page, it's clear that this isn't the first time something like this has happened, is it? In fact, your two most popular reels are directly lifted from tennis creators. At Friday Pickleball, we're committed to delivering top-tier content and delivering high-quality pickleball gear our customers can trust. When your content relies on taking work

from others and not only undermines the creativity this community, but also sends the wrong message to your audience. What do you want your followers to think when they see the content that's stolen from your competition? And he said, hi, Jake. This is Nick. Thanks for the input. We share different perspectives on this. Period. That's it.

No, there's a lot more. But that was a period at that point. It's like with different perspective. What do you? He said, as far as competition goes, we don't view you as a competitor. And I said, you sell paddles. We sell paddles. You make content to promote paddles.

We make content to promote the paddles. I said, whether you decide to see us as competitors or not, we put a lot of time and effort into brainstorming, scripting, creating our content. It's really frustrating when that work is taken. Please't do that in the future yeah he said we build products you sell others products we will continue to do what's best for our company it's like what what is that no we don't we do we do the same thing you do so all i did was just send him a link to fridaypickle.com and then okay i was like that's i don't know what if he even understands what he's saying do you see what an incompetent guy yeah just infuriating and at the same time i was like you know what i don't need to get into it when we sell a day he sells in a month

yeah it's not gonna make or break what you're doing yeah what's this become a trend though well have you seen friday fry friday pickleball there's a account called friday pickleball i saw that i was looking at the comments there's an account called Friday Pickleball. I saw that. I was looking at the comments. There's an account. And it looks exactly like yours. They have your logo, but with a Y. What? They commented something.

It's just one video, and it's that video. What the heck? And it looks like they tagged Addict Pickleball. It's like a collab post, and one of them is Friday Pickleball. What does that mean? I don't know. I don't know what you have to make of that. Look at the collaborators on the

post itself one of them is one of them is friday pickleball but with a y that's so also i'm very curious like have you talked to scott i'm sure you have of course you have about this because when you responded to that he responded sam did wait sam responded Sam did. Wait, Sam responded? Wait, I lost the comment. Oh, yeah. Sam was, Scott's wife was in the comments. Well, I saw him tag Sam, but I didn't see. Oh, jeez. What happened?

I've been off social media. I just don't know how to use it anymore. Friday with a Y. That's very. They have 448 followers. Dude, this is bad. What does it mean? Something's up here.

So wait. Friday with a Y. It's our logo. What the heck? Yeah, they're really. Thanks for the. I mean, it's just your inspo on the logo, though. I inspired this.

We literally were just talking about like changing somebody's logo, but changing one letter on it or something. Okay. So they just. So wait, did Samantha... I think they just changed one of their old Instagrams into this because look how many tags they have. They've been tagged in so much stuff

and none of those tags were Friday Pickleball. Oh, I see. So it looks like it used to be an account called Addict Highlights, if I had to guess, based on the common denominator. So, okay, my thing here, let's really get into this. Thanks for the inspo at Friday Pickleball. And then you responded, this isn't inspo, this is copying, blah, blah, blah.

And then at Pickleball, all they commented was at Concepto Creator, who was the original person that said thanks for the inspo, at Samantha Peck. And then below that, Samantha Peck responded and said, yeah, maybe you shouldn't take, maybe you shouldn't, maybe you should, she said, maybe you shouldn't take your video down. It's okay. She's from Missouri and come up with your own content.

But do you think that she commented that first and then it's just coming out of order here? Yeah. I'm confused because I see the same order where it's just so weird that they just, they just tagged Samantha. That's all they said. They didn't like respond or anything. Anyway, dude, what is this account Friday with a Y and then somebody else said Friday pickleball is exact video dot dot dot awk and they said appreciate the compliment. We thought their production was way better dot dot dot awk. That's so and that yeah,

when you go down to the comments that are quote hidden by Instagram or whatever, someone just said this is this is an at friday pickleball video get your own content and they said that's they replied looks like an addict pickleball video to me smiling smiling face yes i'm saying they don't like i'm ready to go to fat for these i'm ready to freaking let's fight dude it's crazy to be caught stealing and you're like no we didn't or just to like be like i don't care basically yeah yeah yeah yeah what are you gonna do about it we don't or just to like be like i don't care basically yeah yeah yeah yeah what are you gonna do about it we don't have any creativity what can you do about it we're gonna keep stealing it's just a rough way to make money like it's just like that's if that's really one how you want to be successful is just be like yeah that's the the route i was trying to go like is

this really what the message you want to send to your customers that's kind of like when i when i get scammed i try to like make this guy like there's better ways to make money than scamming people go lay shingles you will sleep so much better if you have an honest day's work here brother like i promise like bring some value to the world here uh so that's that's don't yeah don't spend too much your energy but i'll spend some energy on it. Yeah. Somebody needs to take care of this. At a certain point, yeah, this is, I mean, it's not detrimental, but it is a bad sign of, I don't know what they're going to do with this. Friday with a Y. Stop.

Leave us alone. That is wild. It's trippy seeing like angles that we came up with. Like they did the exact same thing. Used. Reused. That's so weird. Like when you said like they

stole our idea, I was like, that stinks. But like, surely there's been another video out there that was similar to what you did in a different context, not pickleball related or something, you know, like, like it's not like the first time that anybody's ever like gone over dramatic with something, but like they literally, they didn't even change it from like when your partner misses a whiff to like when your partner serves it out or something like that. Yeah. Like it's kind of a different video like that. That at least is like respectable enough to be like, OK, I guess they probably stole that from us, but we don't know for sure.

It's like, no, they literally like said like, what did they say on that line? OK, that's our next thing we need to say. Yeah, they're just watching our video and just I'm fired up now, dude. I'm fired up for them. Like, I don't know, for multiple reasons. I just texted to Matt immediately. yeah they're just watching our video and just i'm fired up now dude i'm fired up for them like i don't know for for multiple reasons i just texted to matt immediately i feel like we should reach out with a seasoned assist yeah yeah yeah interesting i'm gonna say yes that's wow what a find live on the body we're doing true crime right now yeah exactly should i dm them something hey guys love your friday paddles yeah where can

i get one yeah yeah yeah that'd be funny yeah dude see if they respond by the time the podcast is over that'd be awesome hey guys absolutely love your videos should i message friday with a y or should i message addict pickleball friday with a y see if they respond there hey guys love your videos right which one of you guys is a comedian okay saw him on tour that stuff's awesome hey guys actually it was in the headphones oh i'm in the bluetooth oh shoot sorry guys that is that is pungent hey guys love the videos or love the paddles. Love the videos. So funny and original. Curious, where can I buy one of those Friday paddles? Is that good?

Yeah, that's fun. That's great. One of those super original Friday paddles. Is that good? Yeah. Would love to support y'all. And the mission you have. Two exclamation points.

Good. Ah. Now we win. I'm gritting my teeth out of frustration for these guys. It's like when you think about animals. Yeah, dude. Like I can get so much more. Just like you.

I can get more fired up for other people Yeah justice for other people like for me. I'm like, it's not a big deal It's healthier if I just don't worry about it, but it's like someone else like I'll fall asleep easy No matter what tonight, so i'm ready to go like I'm ready to freaking fight for you, man. Oh, man. That's that's funny Yeah, it's just uh, yeah, it's, it's not a great way of going about business. I didn't even know they were trying to directly copy us. So going out on top of already copying us.

Just weird, weird, weird. And just also just refusing to acknowledge like, hey, we caught you. Like, hey, you stole from us. I see it differently. We have different views on this. Just wait till you have kids. I mean, that's what Bo does all the time. Like, Bo, you just hit Rosie.

Well, I didn't know I was hitting her. I didn't know. I didn't. She moved into me. What were you trying to accomplish by hitting her? I forgot that I hit her. I don't know. I just, I just, I don't know.

Like, you were trying to hurt her, weren't you? I don't, I don't, I don't even know if I hit her. Go to your room. I'll deal with you later. Oh man. So that's, that's drama in the social media world. Yeah. I can't wait for the comments of that video on Wednesday when this comes out to just be

blown up. Hopefully that account does not exist. That's a good point yeah it's true it's true so wild dude or maybe they're like hey jake got in the you know door with uh having a fake friday you know not fake friday but like a second friday account this is my way to get to the friday guys i'll get ownership too. How hard is it? Make some videos. Add some content. Oh, man. All right. I have a little segment for us today. Fun, Brad. We'll call this Pranks with a Z.

Pranks. So, you know, we have... Pranks. Yeah, we have that great inside joke from back in the Peter's house day, in the Riggs house. Something, something, prank. Yeah, yeah. So great inside joke from back in the Peter's house day in the Riggs house. Something, something prank. Yeah. So a loyal ghosty sent me this text the other day.

Let me find it. She said, hey, Brad, my sister and I listen all the time and we joke all the time using the Ghostrunners prank lingo. And here are a few of my real life incidents that have happened recently if you need any content for the podcast. So then she mentions all these real life pranks, AKA just like hilarious, like just ironic things that happened to her. And I was like, are these all your real life? And I was like, she's like, yes, these are all things that have happened to me in the last like two months. I was like, would you mind just like leaving us voice memos, explaining every one of these pranks? Okay. Okay. And, uh, we can just respond to them. So I haven't listened to any of

these voice memos. I know the general idea. So I'm going to read off each prank and then we're going to listen to the voice memo, the story about it, and then we can respond together. Okay. Fun. So this, to paint the picture, this girl is, we'll call it around our age, maybe a little bit younger than us, young professional. Um, and yes, that's, that's what we need to know. So, all right. So the first prank, should we say it in the prank voice? Yeah, please. The one where you don't know which state you are a bridesmaid in prank. So here we go. So I had a roommate that I was roommates with about three years ago, and she asked me to be in her wedding. And of course I was very excited to be in her wedding.

We have lived apart in different States for the past three years. So I'm in Kansas, she's in Georgia. All that to say is I booked my flight about three months ago for her wedding to Atlanta thinking her wedding was in Georgia And come to find out a week before a wedding I go on to her registry website to you know buy her something and Realize her wedding is not in Georgia is in Alabama The good news is either way I would have floated to Atlanta. So I'm glad I didn't screw up there, but I did find it very funny that I had no idea that her wedding this whole time was out in Alabama until a week before the wedding, when she asked me to

be a bridesmaid probably six months ago. Just the idea of like, first of all, just anytime somebody that hasn't seen you in like three years, it's like, will youidesmaid it's like i gotta say yes to this yeah oh it was tough on you huh didn't make a lot of friends like okay yeah we missed each other uh and then to like be like i don't know anything really about her anymore what's what's going on it's somewhere down there i don't fly near atlanta i don't know where it's at atlanta's kind of the connector for all those things anyway like if i'm flying to mobile i'm don't know where it's at. Atlanta is kind of the connector for all those things anyway. Like if I'm flying to Mobile, I'm going to Atlanta first. So, so just the idea of right beforehand being like wrong state prank. Am I?

They said Georgia. I thought it was, you know, the state. It's actually the country of Georgia. Republic of Georgia. So that's that prank. The next one, the one where your dad's the plaintiff attorney and a guy you dated is on the jury prank. Whoa. So this summer, my dad had a trial.

And normally, attorneys don't go to trial. They're able to figure things out before that. But it was really cool. So he got to go to trial. And not only was he in trial where in the town he works in, but it was in the town I live in, in Wichita. And so I was like, okay, I'll go watch some of the trial. Well, funny thing is, my boyfriend's best friend is a clerk for the district attorney.

And so I, you know, walk in with him and we sit down in the courtroom. And right as we sit down, I look over to the jury and I see a guy I've been on a date with before and this was like over a year and a half ago but the jury is like eight people there's probably 400,000 people in Wichita that could have been in that position and of course one of the people in the jury is this guy I've been on a date with and I just found it so funny because here my dad is you know trying to convince the jury and this guy I've been on a date with. And I just found it so funny because here my dad is trying to convince the jury and here he's just sitting having no idea

that that is my father. Good prank. That's pretty good. Yeah. Just imagine yeah. Would he have gotten kicked off the jury had he known or had they? Oh, I'm sure. Right. Confl conflict of interest yeah

something have you ever been summonsed for jury you feel like summonsed is the right word summons yeah um some months you you've been uh one time but i didn't have to go in for it i i called a phone number and they said you are not you don't have to come in i don't know if it's because i move all the time they haven't they've tracked me to come in. I don't know if it's just because I move all the time. They haven't, they haven't tracked me down. Yeah. You know, they don't hit, hit me up. Catherine had to go in maybe two years ago and didn't get selected, but was like wanting to get selected.

Yeah. Like, of course, that's just who she is. Like, I love the, the, you know, judicial process. It'd be fun. That's what built this country. I remember my dad was on a jury one time for like, I don't know, it felt like two weeks and he was never allowed to talk about it until afterwards. it was this is he a late to strangler yeah it was his big uh trial about uh sippy cups or something oh he's like by the end of this thing i'll tell you like i know

everything there is to know about a specific thing and i'll tell you all about it you know it's like very uh very non or nondescript about it, but yeah, yeah. It's just, it sounds like, yeah, I don't think that very often lawyers actually go to trial for things. And so the fact that he's even in this thing and then of course, yeah, the small odds and there she is just sitting there with some other guy, you know, a clerk. Thanks a lot. So Katie Kennedy had jury duty recently and she was running late. And by the time she got there, like, Oh, you're good.'re good we're already over and so life hack show up a little late to jury duty there you go just like be like i might be in labor soon enough so i don't think i can do this yeah my

uncle one time got out of jury duty i don't think he was trying to get out of it maybe he was but he thought that one of the defendants or whatever one of the people in the trial looked like charles barkley and they're like do you have anything against charles barkley he's like i don't love him and they're like all right he's out that's funny well if you ever need a hack there if you don't want to be in jury duty go the charles barkley route it has to be charles barkley yeah another celebrity very polarizing guy all right next prank the one where you found out the boy the one where you found out your boyfriend went to the same therapist as your parents and you prank wow okay so on my first date with my boyfriend i am a therapist and so we're talking things about therapy and all that jazz

and he's telling me he has his experience with therapy and so I ask him I'm like what therapist did you go to and he tells me the name and I start cracking up because not only have I been to this therapist but when I went to this therapist I found out that that was also my parents therapist and did not know that and so not only had my parents been to this therapist and I had been to this therapist, but this guy I had just gone on a date with has also been to this therapist. Wichita's a small little town. I tell you what, you're a Christian in Wichita.

You stay put. You stay close. Hey, good for that therapist. Didn't violate anything. He's like, man, I'm getting it from both ends here. I just got to keep quiet. They don't even know. Yeah, exactly.

Okay, we'll just keep going. The one where you call your niece and nephews in for dinner and find your two-year-old nephew on the roof prank. Okay. Two-year-old. Okay, so a week ago, I was in Colorado Springs with my sister and her family, and I decided to babysit the three kids while they go on a date night, I was in Colorado Springs with my sister and her family, and I decided to babysit the three kids while they go on a date night, you know, Aunt Juju and her prime.

All that to say is I prefer the type of babysitting, you know, parenting style where you let the kids kind of roam free and do what they want to do and not so much helicopter parenting, if you get my drift. All that to say, they were outside playing with Nerf guns. were having a great time and i'm like okay i'm gonna go inside and cook dinner so i go inside i cook dinner and i call the kids in for dinner and first my five-year-old nephew comes in and soon after my six-year-old niece comes in and then i'm like where's herschel herschel's my two-year-old nephew herschel they leave me outside and sure enough herschel's on the crest of the roof sitting on the roof just chilling and I'm like oh my good lord and so you know I try to get Adeline

the six-year-old to go get him and he doesn't want to come down and finally I scurry up there and get him down but they just decided to go play on the roof without me knowing Herschel Herschel sounds like a uh a troublemaker yeah Herschel come on Herschel Herschel two Herschel sounds like a troublemaker. Yeah. Herschel. Come on, Herschel. Herschel. Two-year-old roof is so, that's too young for a roof. That's too young for a roof.

I'm also curious the physics of how to get up there. This must be a pretty, maybe like a pretty close roof to the ground. How are they climbing? Even a two-foot roof off the ground is pretty hard for Herschel to get up to. Yeah. Agile two-year-old. Right. Unless, was it Adeline? Adeline involved?

She's an accomplice. Adeline? I like this person. Get Herschel off the roof, get! This person wanted to be anonymous, but we did get Aunt Juju in there. So you got some clues. Okay, Juju.

Okay. Not a Gentile. Found her in the Gentile market. Oh, man. I love it. I like also that she's an aunt, but she's like, I prefer this kind of parenting.

This is my, like, I've decided. This is kind of how I do it. You know, free range. Which, hey, I agree with you. I think they should let them play until all of a sudden you find them on the roof.

Let them play. Rosie would absolutely go them on the roof. Let them play. Rosie would absolutely go up on the roof. She would love it and have no qualms. Hattie would tell me immediately, though, if she's on the roof. Okay, last but not least here. This one's, I like this one. Wait, let me find it. The one where you and your friend are at in

an airbnb in maine you go to sleep early and your friend decides to read out on the porch and then gets locked out and spends the entire night outside break last but not least so about a month ago a friend and i traveled to the state of maine to have a little post-graduation vacation and we're having a good old time. We went to Acadia National Park. We went to the farmer's market. We went to the beach, all these great things. We're having a great time. And so we decide for a last night to kind of have a more relaxed night in the Airbnb. We go back, we're enjoying time together. We decide to lay down and, you know, have some pillow talk talk and then I'm about to go to

bed and so I'm like I'm gonna go to bed and she's like great I'm gonna go on the front porch and read so that's exactly what we do I go straight to sleep she goes out in the front porch leaves her phone inside takes her book anyway about an hour and a half goes by and she's like okay I'm ready to go back to bed and she tries to unlock the door and sure enough the door is locked and locked on her and I am all the way back in the bedroom and there's like a kitchen between the bedroom and there's a little corridor area So there's two doors. So she's not only knocking on one door, but there's another door So I am dead asleep can't hear her at all. She's knocking I am out to the world and so

all that to say is she decides to spend the night on the front porch of the airbnb at 11 p.m and you know she could have come around knocked on the window and she said she considered that however she heard a bunch of creatures and there's this big forest next to our airbnb our airbnb was on a farm and she hears all these creatures and she's afraid she doesn't have her phone for a light so she's like i'd rather sleep on the porch than go brave the wilderness to knock on my friend's window and wake her up but as soon as light struck at 4 a.m she goes knocks on my window i hear this knocking i run to the front door she sprints right past me to go to the bathroom.

And that was a crazy time. The next night when we are in Boston at dinner, I ask her, have you ever been camping before? And she said, nope. And if that is what camping's like, I never want to do it again in my life. That's a pretty funny prank. That is a good prank. Yeah. You know what she needed was Herschel in her life.

She could have thrown Herschel up on the roof. Herschel could have. Herschel would have been scared. No farm animals. No, he would have knocked on that window quick. Because that's what I thought when I was hearing this. I was like, she should just, surely there's a window by this room. But she was nervous of all the creatures. I kind of relate to the, like, just like finding a different solution other than just like

venturing into the unknown darkness. I relate to that. I'm like, yeah, I think I would have just like, yeah, as opposed to sleeping outside, I think I would have gone in, like eventually worked up the courage. But like, I don't like the foresty darkness. And you live not really in the foresty darkness,

but you live where there's more creatures than most. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah. I know a thing or two. Jake said one time there's no no shadows in the daytime or something like that you had some uh phony phrase yeah there's no creaks no creaks in the daytime yeah yeah like that something like that everything's scarier at night everything's scarier at night yeah you hear

one thing any kind of rustling and you assume bear every time in the main. Yeah. Daytime. Oh, right. A dog break. Cute dog. Probably a cute run towards it. Beaver.

Let's go see what, what's gnawing down. What kind of tree you got? I bet it's a cute beaver. I bet. I bet it's an otter. Little otter. Um,

but then a beaver, even a beaver at night is scary though. Anything at night. Yeah. Yeah. Cause it's either, it's either a nocturnal and it's not used to seeing humans or, but then a beaver even a beaver at night is scary though anything at night's scary yeah yeah because it's either it's either uh nocturnal and it's not used to seeing humans or it's rabidly it's a beaver that's angry for being awake can't sleep yeah can't sleep ready to gnaw on you ready to gnaw shred the gnaw yeah so anyway that that's Aunt Juju's pranks.

Hey. Shout out to Aunt Juju. Aunt Juju, you know what keeps me happy in the daytime? What? A couple things. Okay. Lack of beavers in my life. Yes.

said, since this podcast is heavily informative in stock trading, I'd love to hear advice from all three of you on which stocks to keep an eye on this next year. Sure. Like, sure. Okay. First and foremost, hoverboard.

Like the big one, though. Not the knockoffs. The big one is going to, I'm bullish on hoverboard. the big one though not the knockoffs like the big one is going to i'm bullish on hoverboard that's good bullish i am bullish on anything that reminds me of a bull yes i think there's a lot of a lot of power and unity like that timon's googling stocks right now i think i see his fingers moving interesting timing not the finance bro that we hired. Um, okay. Also Sprite Sprite, just in general,

look out, not Coca-Cola, but Sprite. They're going to, they're going to break off. Okay. You heard it here first. I,

um, I think playgrounds are, aren't going anywhere. I think that they're going to get there. We're, we're developing more and more homes. What's the publicly traded playground company. It's a tight Fisher price, Fisher price, tight, Fisher price, tight, uh, international. So get it while you can. I would, I think playgrounds, trampolines, uh, anything outdoors, sleeping bags, sleeping bags. I don't.

Yeah. Um, what's that? What's that? Uh, Eno, the hammock company. They're big. They're big. They're big and getting bigger. Right? Double wides. Yeah. I'm going to go ramen. Okay. I don't know who the parent company is, but figure it out. Marichal or whatever that starts with an M.

Ramen. Ramen people. Yeah. Tymon, do you have any stocks to keep an eye on? Myspace. Okay. Oh, okay. Yep.

Sears. Sears. Sears. Sears, look out. Sears is going nowhere but up. There's no chance for it not to. It's a GameStop situation. I think so. Motorola.

Motorola. Hello, Moto. Hello, bank account. While we're at it, just Nokia. Yeah, I do like a, what's that called? A parlay. I think it's like cable TV. Okay.

Oh, yeah, Dish. Dish is all right. Yeah. I think Comcast. What's Comcast up to? Comcast is doing mobile stuff now. You have cellular type stuff? Mm-hmm.

Okay, kind of a similar question from Sarah. Brad, tips for whiny slash fighting young kids. Oh, my gosh. My two and four year old woke up fighting and just chose violence no matter what I do. Tips to deescalate, not lose your mind. How old? What did she say? Two and four.

That is our exact situation. Rose and Bo. Rose and Bo. Rose and Bo, Oklahoma. I think the tips, literal, like actual things. Well, I'll start with the funny ones. I would say just let them fight and see what happens.

See who the alpha is. What's it? Well, who does natural selection? Is that Fisher Price too? Yep. Okay. I would say natural selection.

Let them like, see who wins. Yep. Especially if the oldest one's a girl. I think it's a little more, it's a little more of a fair fight. Right now, we got the older one being a boy

and Bo's just naturally. But, but but rosie will you know snatch things out of bo's hands as well okay so good grip strength um i don't i mean we're still trying to figure it all out but we talk it out with them kind of like we were making fun of last week of like we're gonna let those people have they have layovers you know they have connecting departures oh yeah it's all about i think i just genuinely it's just like trying to get them to make the choice to do the right thing of like hey you know once beau chooses to share it's not a huge deal like for a while it's like rosie took my pillow whatever and it's like okay beau you can play with that pillow when you're done can you please give it to rosie and all of a sudden five seconds later he's like actually i don't want this pillow anymore here you go she's not screaming for it i don't want it yeah it's like, okay, Bo, you can play with that pillow. But when you're done, can you please give it to Rosie? And all of a sudden, five seconds later, he's like, actually, I don't want this pillow anymore.

Here you go, Rosie. She's not screaming for it. I don't want it. Yeah, it's all about like, yeah, reverse psychology kind of stuff. So that's parenting, reverse psychology pretty much. So and I think, I don't know. I don't know if this is right or wrong, but I definitely am like, okay, you do that. Like you get to choose that thing.

Then I'll let Rosie choose this thing. Like, Bo, you choose the color plate that you want I'll let Rosie choose this thing. Like you, Bo, you choose the color plate that you want today for lunch. Then Rosie chooses all the spoons, including your spoons or, or you can give her your plate. You want to share your plate? You know, whatever.

I don't know if that's right or wrong to bargain like that, but it works. So, um, this is another one that I feel like you're going to have some answers for. Anna says, give me all the menu hacks, you know,

any restaurant. Okay. Accepted. Anna says, give me all the menu hacks, you know, any restaurant accepted. I think menu hacks. This is less of a menu hack, but more just like Taco Bell, McDonald's use their apps. Chick-fil-A is great for apps, especially if you're going to a new Chick-fil-A. Every time you go to a new location and you use like a mobile order

or use like your scan or whatever, almost always the owner from that Chick-fil-A will send you a freebie within a week or something of like here's a free sandwich thanks for coming you don't have to use it so like i'm driving through indiana it's like stop at that chick-fil-a and then all of a sudden that owner so if you go to five different chick filets you might be getting on these different databases menu hack um let's see i mean i've talked about the ice cream cones and McDonald's just being like, can we just get a really big ice cream? Can I get a tall one? Yeah. Just asking for that. Um, I mean, you can just steal like order a water and then just not get water in the cup. That's a,

that's a classic. You like to, if you're going to get double chicken, wait till they've served you single chicken at Chipotle. I try it. Yeah. I think they're, they're getting wise to that though. Like I tried to do that recently and, and uh they did not give me very much on the second thing of chicken oh it wasn't double that was yeah yeah chipotle's got a lot though it's like i'm a big fan of like they give you as much chicken as they have proportion to the rice so get a lot of rice and they'll put more chicken on there yeah or if you get half chicken half steak it's not doubled meat but they give you more than they would if they were just getting one meat. I don't know.

You got any time in your, you're more in the hack stage than I am. I don't know. I, I fully agree on the apps. Yeah. I feel like I'm not, but I'm not just a super like bargaining guy where I'm just like, or I'm not the one to be bold enough to be like, can I just like, I feel like some people would just be like can i just get a discount i feel like some people just like bold i'm not that

kind of guy i don't know i i will say any like fast food place i feel like i'll check on the app just just to see i i back in the day the the hack and you can't do this anymore i don't think but starbucks if you just order a black coffee or an iced coffee they send it and then they have like the whole station where you can doctor it up yourself oh and it was like two dollars or something like that and you can just do your own cream and sugar and whatever yeah if you're trying to so cut a little corn uh cut a little corn yeah another hack uh is just good ranchers.com for your meat it's way cheaper than getting into that steakhouse you could get you go to one dinner at steakhouse or you could get a whole month supply at home from good ranchers.com. That's right. So that's, that's an unofficial ad for them.

Have they texted back anything? Not yet, brother. So that's, that's our unofficial ad. Speaking of good ranchers, we have a new promo and I'm just, I'm just thinking of this off the top of my head. You know, we've got an upcoming election soon. And remember your voice isn't just heard at a ballot box. You can vote with your dollar is what I'm, I'm thinking of just now. When you choose good ranchers, you're casting your vote for a hundred percent American meat. I thought, right. And actually don't worry about Brad, Brad, you just take a breather on this one um so with the presidential hold on I'm thinking the presidential promo you can subscribe to any good ranchers box uh and get a free add-on for the next four years or until the next election I like that they do that at good ranchers they're like all right we're doing a summer games thing

you know this is only going to happen until the next, you know, free add-on until the next summer games or four years, whichever comes first. So same here. Free add-on, chicken breast, ground beef, bacon, salmon for four years or until the next presidential election. Maybe it'll be five. So all American, all delicious. GRK sees the code. Get you $25 off your first box, plus free shipping, plus a free add on for four years. That is anywhere between a $1 and $10 million value.

I don't have the numbers in front of me, but you don't have to wait until November to vote, vote with your dollar, get American be delivered. Good writers.com. Uh, time and question for you from Natalia. Does time and have any advice for someone who wants to start in acting slash performing arts?

Oh, start in it? Yes, someone who wants to start. Let's say Natalia's 14. Good question. Advice. I think just don't get embarrassed. Because, like, especially with advice that I've gotten a lot and just like have seen if I implement it is like once you feel silly with how much you are speaking loudly and enunciating, you're like

getting to the right point. I think like once it feels like ridiculous how yeah, how loud you're talking and how exaggerated you're kind of speaking and stuff since it's on stage. It's not a movie. If you're acting in a movie, you wouldn't like have huge dramatic movements and stuff but yeah i think just like don't be afraid if it feels a little silly yeah because you are literally being dramatic yes yeah you're supposed to be that way yeah and like i mean it's a little different in what i've done with it's like very small stages and small theaters like but on like a big stage you have to be have to have big movements like or it's not going to translate so i don't know just be don't be afraid to be extra yeah that's a good word thank you uh girl named alexa says i need some good comebacks for people who make the joke about

my name with the amazon alexa alexa what's the weather what'd she say back to that depends on the person asking but they're short you can say i don't know you tell me you're Alexa, what's the weather? What should you say back to that? Depends on the person asking, but they're short. You can say, I don't know. You tell me your way down there. Yeah, pretty different from where you're standing. Yeah. I would say just make fun of them physically no matter what. I think so.

Yeah, tall. You tell me, lightning rod. Yeah. You know? Lightning rod's a good insult you're a big guy i don't think it matters if it's raining outside you'll go out there and get some food tubbo right uh a cohesive insult no matter if it's raining or not you'll still go out there and get some food because you're big because you're big you won't let that stop you will you what's the weather um hopefully cloudy with a chance of meatballs string bean i can see your

ribs oh yeah just physical traits probably just go after them really go after childhood trauma i think so yeah yeah maybe ask first like hey what's the weather alexa and you're like oh uh tell me your most embarrassing moment. Well, one time I accidentally put on my sister's dress when I was getting ready for church. And then you're like, well, I don't know what to do with that. You could like mishear them like voice assistants do. Oh, yeah. You said, should I wear a sweater?

I didn't get that. Yeah, yeah. Just say, sorry, I didn't get that. I didn't get that. I didn't get that. I didn't get that. Yeah, yeah. Just say, sorry, I didn't get that. I didn't get that. I didn't get that. I didn't get that. Come again? Yeah.

Something like that. My mom. You guys like Alexa? Are you Alexa people? I don't use a lot of voice stuff. We have a couple or like one or two. Yeah. And yeah, I like them to play music and stuff.

I feel like my mom, my mom's classic. Like she's a, she's a she's a technology as far as for her age she's more advanced technology and loves like using it well like kind of like i am honestly like and uh yeah just like the idea does she have her lights hooked up to it and stuff no yeah maybe a few of them that'd be cool not like it's not like crazy like she's not like yeah she doesn't do a ton of stuff but like loves adding stuff to the shopping list alexa add cheese to the shopping list sorry for everybody that just that happened to them but hey who doesn't need cheese yeah right all these things or like play the zookeeper game you know or something

because the kids love it all and so now bo knows how to do it like yeah alexa what sound does a giraffe make you know so my dad if there's ever like maybe like one of my siblings is like blasting music he comes in stop alexa stop alexa oh and you have to say it first yeah yeah yeah that's great kind of funny um i don't know if this person's joking or not so two-part question is this person joking and their question chloe says when is an appropriate time to start sharing your location with a guy you're interested in i think that's a serious question yeah okay i would say so i would say if you're purely interested i don't think that's the time to share your location

i would say like i think once yeah once you're six to twelve months into really getting to know him maybe is that right i don't know tell me well i don't know like once once you're six to 12 months into really getting to know him, maybe. Is that right? I don't know. Tell me. Well, I don't know. It's like once you're like a thing and it would like, I don't know, but just I like this guy. When should I send him my location? That's step two.

Yeah. What's the advantage of him knowing where you are? That's what I was going to ask you, Tymon. Like, how many people are you sharing your location with? How many friends? A decent amount. I don't know. Not anything crazy. But yeah, it's not.

Midge? It's never like, um, I think at some point, I don't know if it's still, I don't know. Back and forth. Topsy-turvy. Oh boy. Because I mean, I'm pretty, I'm pretty loose with my location. Like I think it's fun to like see people's locations. I agree.

Yeah. I don't care. Everyone sees where I am and it's always fun to like see people's locations. I agree. Yeah, I I don't care. Everyone sees where I am and it's always fun to see where other people are, but maybe you should be careful if you have any kind of if you don't know this guy very well or something. Yeah, I understand like women have to think about things differently, but I'm like, yeah, I

think it's just fun like one of my buddies. We weren't we're not playing to see each other anytime soon. He texted me out of the blue last week. He's like, are you a find my friends guy? I was like absolutely. Let's find a fun like and it's a fun, like, and it can be a fun conversation starter over text. Like, Oh, you're like, you just happened to your second, someone else you happen to see. It's like, Oh, you're here. I, whatever. It's like a fun way to start a conversation. And I, Catherine only has like, I think maybe six or seven,

find my friends. Yeah. And she'll like, sometimes she'll just like look at it. She'd be like, I just love when all my friends are at home like warms her heart that everyone's home just fun it's been speaking that i saw uh you and i just missed each other at home depot like two days ago dicks i bet it was i bet i was at dicks oh there was yeah like 5 p.m a couple days ago uh-huh okay i didn't zoom in i was like i mean it looks like right there by Home Depot. Because Bo was so pumped. He's like, this place is right by Home Depot. Oh, I bet that was it then.

Yeah, because I was like, actually, how did I not see you in Home Depot? What were you doing at Home Depot? Isaac and I were getting set. We cut the barrel off, had a little fire in the back. I heard, dude. Live stream with Catherine and Rachel.

Yeah, all of a sudden, Catherine was gone, and I was like, and then she was gone for like an hour plus, and I was like, I should probably make sure she's doing all right. You know, we don't have to communicate that much, but she didn't was gone for like an hour plus i was like i should probably make sure she's doing all right you know i we don't have to communicate that much but she didn't say anything about like i'm going on a walk she just left yeah wow that's funny yeah so yeah how'd that go the good fire yeah got rid of a lot of cardboard didn't burn the house down it rained the next day

win win win easy to cut uh open no that part sucked why did you have to do well i got isaac right we did a couple things together we mounted the tv and then out there and he's got like a multi-purpose tool it's called that you can like attach kind of a saw blade the first one was like a wood one yep that didn't work and then he had a the next level one i don't know what that would be that didn't work so we went to home depot and got the uh gotta get a metal one it was called extreme metal oh extreme metal that still didn't work. Really? Not very well.

And I think it might have been his tools. Maybe not strong enough or whatever. So what we did is Isaac drilled probably 200 holes around the outside of it to kind of loosen the tension. And then we would either use the tool or use a crowbar. I was using pliers.

So I was manually ripping the metal between holes. And so it took a while. We were drenched in sweat. Oh, my gosh. It was already 100 degrees, and then we're working on that for an hour and a half to get it off, and then I started a fire for two hours.

So I just sweat nonstop. You were so hot. Yeah. Then I ran my mile. It was a sweaty little night. Next time you text me, I can help you. I had tools. I got a little Sawzall metal blade.

Yeah, that sounds nice. Especially once you manually were doing all that. That sounds nice. Yeah, huh? It's all right. We got it. So yeah, now you got a burn barrel. And it's not the walnuts are not banging on it all the time anymore.

Yeah, so I think that was like pressure. It was like popping is what you're always hearing. Really? Yeah, so that'll stop now. It was not, nothing was hitting it? Correct, yeah. It was just like a. What was changing to like reset it?

That's what I'm like. I don't know how it was going in and out again. Yeah, but it was, I think that's what was happening. Interesting. I saw it happen one time. Whoa, is that wild? That sounds wild, dude. Okay. whoa that wild that sounds wild dude um okay it's hard to read through these while podcasting it is and i know i had one and i had it in gray oh there's a lot of questions uh similar to this

um a lot of people ask about like side hustles so this one says from hannah we need to bring in extra money each month what are some side hustles we can do and the other very similar questions like i want to make a little extra money on the side what would you recommend little side hustles i would say like five years ago i was on craigslist every single day just seeing like what's what are people offering for there's like a part of craigslist now i don't remember it but just like creative services writing services labor service like people are like they're they're like putting jobs out there like gigs and stuff that's how we got that uh joke writing yes yeah so craigslist has stuff fiverr is a website where people are always posting little job thing you know if you have like some kind of like niche random skill if you if you don't, buy a Canva Pro subscription, pick up some Fiverr graphic design things.

Maybe you'd like that. Yeah, I wonder how much those, yeah, how much those pay, 25 bucks a thing or whatever you think. Yeah, I think side hustle, I don't know. There's multiple answers. I think you could do a part-time job that might be just as effective as anything and just go deliver pizzas.

You know, that's what Dave Ramsey's whole like yeah that's just like stereotypical like yeah you can deliver pizzas you know on the side and go deliver pizzas they're always hiring for that whatever um I think Facebook marketplace there's so many things in your house that you probably don't need and that you could sell on Facebook marketplace that's a win-win you make money and you declutter like i've almost always sold a tool that like if i if i post a tool from my you know shop on facebook marketplace they sell really quickly people are always looking for tools on there that's good um yeah i feel like it's a pretty easy thing to you can't really like uh what's the word you can't make like a counterfeit tool like sometimes i feel like with my kids can hear like a macbook it's? You can't make like a counterfeit tool. Like sometimes I feel like

with like a Mac book, it's like, I don't know if this is safe to like buy a computer off the internet or something. I don't know. I think bigger, bigger picture, woodworking, like in general, you can make a lot of money or, you know, a substantial amount, like a side hustle thing. That's what I did. It was side hustle at first. And then of course, eventually it became a real thing. And like, you can, you can build your way up in woodworking. Like I can, you can buy maybe $200 worth of tools to start and like be set to like start kind of like you can buy a $500 camera and probably be good enough to like shoot some stuff for people who aren't expecting insane things. You know, like there's people out there that were like,

oh, we weren't even going to do a photographer for our wedding, but we'll hire you for 500 bucks. And then all of a sudden, you know, you do a few of those and then you get better and better. I think anything could be learned on the internet. Just about anything could be learned outside of, you know, maybe certain

types of surgery on the internet. So, you know, if you're like, I don't really know how to do wordworking or graphic design. If you even somewhat feel like you have an inclination towards that, I bet you could figure it out.. So yeah, even if you're like, I don't, I don't really know how to do wordworking or graphic design. If you even somewhat feel like you have an inclination towards that, I bet you could figure it out. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Um, yeah. YouTube, you could build a house on YouTube. You could, you could get a law degree, I think on YouTube these days, YouTube you. Yeah. Um, anyway, uh, let's see what else, any other side hustles time? I don't know. I was just looking at Craigslist. Like after he said that, I was like, curious what comes up, some side hustles time? I don't know. Pyman? I was just looking at Craigslist after you said that.

I was curious what comes up. Some random stuff on here. I don't know. Is Craigslist even... I wonder how many people are on Craigslist these days. It's crazy how after... I remember how Craigslist looked eight years ago, and it looks the exact same now.

I think that's like their shtick. It's like, we're never going to change from the Times New Roman ways. Yeah. We're never really going to develop a good mobile app. Yeah, how's it look at time? Any good gigs? If you're an athletic built guy and want to play a cowboy

in a social media campaign, deliver six lines on horseback. There's one in KCMO. So if you want that. Not bad. I mean, when you get down... Sorry, go ahead. No, no, no. I didn't have anything else. I just mean, when you get down, sorry, go ahead. No,

no, no. I didn't have anything else. I just feel like when you get down to it, the way that you make money is by creating value for somebody and whatever that looks like, whatever that means for you, create value and you will get,

you should get paid for it. Like therefore, if you, if you have an experience, if you're really good, whatever, you're a lawyer and you, you could pick up one more.

I don't know if you're a lawyer, you're probably not looking for side hustles, but whatever. If you're a social person and you need, somebody needs help with something socially, or you have good decorative eye, like somebody will hire you to help party plan for them or whatever it may be.

So there's so many things on Craigslist services right now. You could go be a dog sitter, go house, sit, go dog. Sitters are great. Yeah. Dog Walker, Sammy Kirby, their name, Sammy is her first name. Go see. now you could go be a dog sitter go house it go dog sitters a great yeah dog Walker

Sammy Kirby their name Sammy is her first name go see that's her full-time job is a dog sitter I believe full-time this guy needs a Springfield this guy needs a background singer for one night his band is playing at a high school reunion fifty dollars to hit the high notes and some songs time thinking about it yeah. I've thought about a few different side hustles I've thought about is like a DJ business where I like just teach people how to be DJs for weddings and just I have the equipment and like I have like some soft skills that I can teach them

how to say these lines and you'd be better than if you just introduced this way or like another one that I had and I think these are probably both saturated by this point but like real estate photographer. Oh, yeah. Because it makes a huge difference by a drone and yeah sure I'm one I might get into that soon that's what I'm thinking about like just trying that yeah but it makes a huge difference like on your real estate listing how good the pictures are so if you can come in spend an hour or less in a house take some amazing pictures and then charge them

200 you're making 200 bucks an hour and then you teach other people how to do it. Oh, bam, that's not that's not a side hustle. That's called a business. So last thing I could think of would be like stealing people's dogs and holding him for ransom. People pay good money for their dog back. Yeah.

Is it just dogs? You think primarily I would start with dogs. I would start with once you've proven you do it with a dog, you move on. I've heard turtles, surprisingly, weight to financial ratio is pretty good on those. Their shell is like a rhino's horn. Their shell is like a rhino's horn. People will poach that.

Oh, Tyler, I'm going to ask you this. I'll just ask you on the podcast. Is there a way... I have an idea for a video. So in tennis and pickleball, there's a thing called poaching. Yeah. And the doubles player comes in front of you.

So I want to do a 10-second video. Watch out playing this guy. He loves to poach. Hard cut to a guy just shooting a rhinoceros with a rifle. Boom! Rhinoceros falls down on the pickleball court. See? Told you. I love it. Is that possible? How do we shoot that?

I'm not a VFX house, but... You're not we could i'm not like a that's what you call like a production studio that does guys you didn't know i didn't know he was a whole house vfx house i think raise the roof raise the roof on this vfx i knew i knew what it was i knew okay okay yeah it was the word house that threw me off okay Okay. Yeah. I guess that VFX guy. I was thinking like team. But a house is like a whole thing. Yeah. I get it.

You raise a roof if it's a house. Yeah, baby. Just casual raise, baby. Oh, okay. Okay. I'm starting to understand. But if we, it could be like where you lean into the fact that it doesn't look that real and it's, you just somehow like

rotoscope out a gif of a rhino falling down if there's that somewhere. That's an idea. He lost me at rotoscope. I'll be honest, I don't know what that is. I can't raise the roof on rotoscope. It's a rifle. Rhinoscope.

I want to look into that. That's a fun idea. Easy, but I think people would love it. Heads up, this guy loves to po into that. I want to see. That's a fun idea. I like the idea. Easy, but I think people would love it. Hey, heads up. This guy loves to poach. Yeah. Just shoots a rifle. Got him.

These days, Twitter would make you believe that there's a million apps that are making these videos that you can just AI exactly what you want. AI house. Yeah. An AI house. Dude, maybe that's where our time is best spent. Just find the best AI video creation tool that just like a man shooting a rhino and just

find the best one. Yeah. AI house. Yeah. Time's raising. I didn't see it, but he's raising. All right. They're raised. Not like I taught you.

Hey, I tell you. Anyway, that's Ghosties on a couch thanks ghosties for getting on that couch getting ghosties on a couch move that couch what do you think about this random thought

kids run everywhere why do adults not Rachel's brought this up before she loves that kids run everywhere is it just because it would be too fast and too efficient like if I was like

hey I'm going to go get something from your fridge do you want anything and then I ran because it would be too fast and too efficient like if i was like hey i'm gonna go get uh something from your fridge you want anything and then i ran would it be like well that was weird why'd you do that like because why do we stop when do we stop we stop at six years old maybe stop running stop running like i'll occasionally run to like i feel like in my house like get something i will i'll run like across the house fire still alive how fast scale 110 10 beans friends depends one if it's like this is annoying i have to really quick get this thing from like downstairs i'm going back up very fast i don't know eight eight yeah sure wow you're flying six shaking the block it's in the house i you skip stairs

i'll skip stairs anytime i go down any stairs wow i'll go up for sure yeah in my house i'll skip stairs down i gotta see that i'll do it yeah take a video take a vfx oh yeah get a house yeah i would really go down skipping stairs i'll skip for sure i it's just like i'm so familiar Get a house. Yeah, a VFX house. I would. Really? Go down skipping stairs. I'll skip for sure. It's just like I'm so familiar with the exact, obviously, layout of my own stairs. I can just, I'll take four steps down them, probably. What?

If I'm going fast. That seems like you're in this house. You're skipping four or just it only takes you four? If I'm running down my stairs, it'll take four steps, probably. Wow. I might be. You're a psycho. I need to go home and test these? If I'm running down my stairs, it'll take four steps probably. Wow. I might be... You're a psycho. I need to go home and test these things

because I'm pretty sure. Also, I want to know how much faster that is. Probably not that much. Because I would have to brace myself every time I jump down. Or else I would fall and hurt myself. I would take a video of this, but I just know I would look so dumb.

Like just skipping. It's just like I found the most efficient way, but I just know I would look so dumb. Like, just skipping. It's just like, I found the most efficient way, but I would just look so dumb doing it. I know I do. Running through the house. Yeah, just like the idea. Just like the idea of... I love, like, Bo,

every time I ask him to do anything, he runs to do it. Yeah. Bo, can you grab that? Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum. I would run in college if it was raining outside. I've talked about that before. I couldn't believe I was just walking in the rain. Dude, speaking of

last night, we went to meet the teacher night for Mother's Day out. So Bo and Rosie are doing Mother's Day out. They have new teachers. They went this summer, but different ones. So it's kind of like preschool, but they just go once a week meet the teacher night 6 30 to 7 30 uh kevin's like it's a it's a casual thing you know we don't have to get there right at 6 30 um but at the same time she seems stressed about getting there on time and we like we got there by

6 38 and she was like i don't know about this um last night was raining kind of randomly like pretty good small cells powerful small cells, powerful, small cells, but those cells, yeah. When they get over you, that cell tower, you had some good service. So like, um, yeah, all of a sudden, as we get to this, uh, this preschool, it just starts pouring down rain. And so Catherine's like, all right, I'll go. Bo's on my side all right I'll go Bo's on my side so I'll take Bo you get Rosie and Henry and so like and maybe it was always pouring down rain but it felt like once we got out of our car we both had umbrellas somehow once we got out of the car it was like all of a sudden just a deluge yeah just like downpour it went like it got really bad yesterday and it was it was it

was it was by it was down south by you time i mean not it was 159 so not crazy but like yeah pretty close to becky's house where she has that pickleball court pretty close like five minutes or less raining in both houses i would say a lot of houses yeah a lot of rain yeah just downpour all of a sudden yeah to the point where like my like umbrellas flying away i'm trying to like detach henry's like car seat from his little holder um and then rosie when i open the door the wind just hits rosie like all this rain hits rosie in the face so she's like retreating to the corner of the van as i like take henry out put him on the ground then to try to go grab rosie oh geez and so henry's just getting absolutely soaked rosie's

crying henry starts screaming. My umbrellas, yeah, right here. I just throw my umbrella into the car because I'm like, I can't hit all these things. Grab Rosie, grab Henry. We run in. And since we were like eight minutes late and most of the parents are better than us

and got there on time, we are completely soaked. I mean like- And no one else even had rain. No one else had yeah anything on them yeah and like and since we were a little bit later we had to park a little bit farther away and every inch and like literally catherine's like going up ahead with bow and i just yell i just go save yourself go inside we'll be fine don't wait and we get in there and i mean like 80 of my shirt

is completely soaked like it is like and so I'm meeting all these new teachers, like just look like I just like got done running a marathon. Like, Hey, I'm, I'm Rosie's dad. I'm Brad. Yeah. Good to meet you. Like it's raining out there. I don't know if you heard.

I was like, what are the heads up? It is raining. It was one of those classic, like what? That's just Brad and Catherine. Sometimes just stuff happens like that. So dude, that reminds me of when we, uh, we left the Florida trip and having a walk through that downpour. It was just so wild having to get to the airport completely soaked. Luggage, socks, boxer.

I mean, every piece of us was soaking wet. That was so funny because we were running kind of late. And so we couldn't really wait for the shuttle to come get us. It was just such intense rain for the five to ten minutes we were out there walking. Yeah, we were completely soaked in, too. Yeah. I would say that this was the same level of soakage, but within 20 seconds of us being outside.

It was like we were so... Such hard rain. Oh, it was... And it was such a beautiful day yesterday. I'm not a weather guy. I'm not looking to see what's about to happen, and all of a sudden, it was. And it was like such a beautiful day yesterday. I'm not a weather guy. I'm not looking to see what's about to happen. And all of a sudden, I was not ready. And I felt so bad.

Bo gets in the car. We're running late, kind of stressful. And Bo's rain jacket's kind of small on him. He's like trying to pull down the sleeve. He's like, it's just too small. I'm going to go get the other one. And I'm like, Bo, you're fine. It's not even raining outside right now.

Like it was kind of raining earlier. And it stopped where we were so I was like you'll be fine just don't you don't need a rain jacket it's not going to rain on you and he's like oh okay which half the time that wouldn't work but this time he's like okay great I'll just throw my coat

inside and come out with that one and then of course he didn't let me hear the end of it he's like well dad said it wasn't gonna rain it poured down rain on me rain pretty hard oh it was it was a wild time so anyway fun times his dad fun times as a parent getting rained on rain on should we do our uh comments of the week yeah you're to have to help me with mine. No, maybe I can find it.

I'm bricked. Mine's from Abigail11111. Ghostwriters is the real deal. A lesser podcast would have cut the part when they cleaned up the table. Not these guys. Brad and Jake continue to talk and time and works hard to find a decent angle for viewing. Thanks for the dedication

and authenticity, fellas. That was great when Jake was just his butt was right in front of the camera. Thanks, girly. Also, I think by the time this comes out, Ghost Runners will have hit four million total views on the channel. That's pretty cool. Says we're at 3.98 right now. So you tell me now, Brad,

it is your turn. Would you like to share your comment of the week? Where is it? Maybe we've already liked it on YouTube. Got it? Oh, wow. Not at the same time, guys. Danielle Miller, 4609.

This will probably never happen, so I will just go ahead and say it. But I have had the exact app idea for probably a year now. I would call it cream of the crapper. Yep. The idea for the bathroom rating cleanliness. It's an app where you can review public restrooms. I don't even know where to begin to develop an app like that, but it would be so helpful.

Cream of the crapper. Can you imagine if we make that? We add a pickleball here and we just... I just pickleball her. So that's mine. Thank you. Nice. Did you have one?

Oh, yeah, sure. I thought I was going to... No, someone said that... Did anyone else feel like Tymon was speeding up his beatboxing slowly to psych out Brad? And I wasn't, but I want to listen back to that

because that's just a funny idea. Yeah, I wish I would have. We don't use metronomes. People ask us all the time, like, are you using metronomes? You have in-ears in? How just a funny idea. Yeah. I wish I would have. We don't use metronomes. People ask us all the time, like, are you using metronomes? You have any ears in? How perfect you guys are? Yeah. Auto-tune the beatbox? No. Winds of the week. Mine is going to

be that Rachel has really started talking in her sleep lately. I mean, she always kind of does, but I mean, more than ever lately. Two nights ago, I'm still awake. She's asleep. She like jumps off of her side of the bed like basically on to me freaking out and uh of course at this point i don't even really try to tell her it's a dream i'm like playing into him like would you hey what do you see what is that what is that really yeah yeah love antagonizing him what's the matter what's

going on she goes there's an animal on that desk i said what kind well i thought i saw that what was that yeah yeah there was a there was a cat there's a cat on that desk we have to get away from it really and then i was like oh you might have been dreaming and then she started dying laughing and then she's just like fully awake it's a weird transformation it just giggles you can tell when she's awake though yeah because she yeah it's it's very odd like somebody she'll wake up she's looking at me like henry yeah yeah yeah just and i know she's not really awake like still kind of dreaming right just kind of stare at me like i didn't think he was hitting his trash and then i'll wait for her to kind of wake up more he's like whoa really i was dreaming just

snap yeah yeah it's wild interesting but she's really in her bag lately with just all sorts of weird sleep stuff um my win of the week is cottage cheese in your smoothies wow what's it do for you it just tastes amazing amazing. I don't know. Creamier protein here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's, I mean, yeah, it provides protein and yeah, it's creamy. I don't know. Like I'd heard somebody say it before and it was like, cause she's always kind of inherently gross to me. Like old milk. Yeah. It just feels like this curdled spoiled stuff, but like I've been appreciating it more and more recently. And yeah, specifically if you put it in your smoothies, it really turns it into quite the treat.

I mean, it just gives a little bit of like a, not sour, but just like a little something in there. I mean, I just, I recommend anybody to try it out. So when you ever put cottage cheese in your scrambled eggs,

I've heard, no, I haven't. Okay. Cause my dad like accidentally discovered that like many years ago. Okay. And now like doesn't ever not really just fluff some up or I guess. Yeah. I mean, I've, I've heard like milk can do the same thing, but yeah. Y'all love eggs, love eggs, love protein really just, Oh, I need vindication for, uh, the Chick-fil-A, um, 30 count. I sent you a picture of it and you're like, what'd you say? I said, either your hands are huge or the 30 count is not as big as I was imagining. So when you said you were trying to

cut back by ordering off of the catering menu at Chick-fil-A, it took me by surprise. And you got a 30 count nugget. I was imagining like a tray of nuggets. This is like a handheld, like small turtle shell size. Yeah. Like it'd be like a, it'd be like a regular size Bondi bowl size. Yeah, yeah. It'd be like a regular size Bondi bowl. Yeah, yeah. That's a good comparison. Yeah, I'm like unknown caller. That's fun. Now what the heck does that mean?

I don't know. Should you? Yeah, sure. I don't know. Oh, but it's Bluetooth so it'll Hello. The EIDL Help Center has been trying to reach you with an urgent message. EIDL. You were pre-qualified to reduce your SBA EIDL...

This isn't going to be anything interesting. I already paid off my SBA loan. So I don't know what they're... I'm pre-qualified for what? Get some more? Nice try. Anyway, vindicated. Smaller than you think. Yeah, or just massive hands.

Either way, vindicated. Good for you. Doing just fine. Yep. Cod of cheese. What are you doing? Probably just playing pickleball on Friday evening. Anytime pickleball on Friday evening. Anytime pickleball works out. I feel like I don't actually get that many chances to do it.

Well, there's fun with some friends. Yeah. Pickleball is always fun, but like Friday pickleball Friday, there's nothing like it with a Y. Yeah. Friday. Yeah.

That was fun. Where'd you guys play? Nothing crazy. Uh, St. Andrews. Oh yeah. They're like not the best condition courts but like probably the

second closest to us and the closest with lights for sure yeah they're lit up i mean you and the boys but um yeah yeah that's the boys it was fun it's a ton of fun yeah man good deal friday's all around yeah good good. We'll pause. I brought some paddles with me to Cincinnati. We played pickleball. Steven Swick had never played. Never been offended, never played pickleball. Yeah, exactly.

Maybe those things go hand in hand because I was ridiculing him quite a bit on the point. He was a natural. He's an athlete. Did just fine. Just classic, would always go up after we served, you know, it's like, you got to stay back. And he did a pretty good job of like scooping it from a bounce.

Like, like he was halfway up and like the ball would be behind him and he'd kind of like, he let it bounce and then hit it back. Like, like just let you know, that's not going to like, you know, that's not going to work forever. But, um, but I brought a bunch of my vulcan paddles oh yeah and then gave him a friday paddle one of my friday paddles let him have it um but he would hit a few out and he's like well it's not fair you have the velcro paddles i got a friday pad oh it's vulcan uh he's like whatever yeah same thing i was like friday pals are great man

so i've really introduced i mean i've converted all my friends let's go love it to friday and i think the vulcan battles you have that's nice they're not carbon fiber it's like it's the old school model of picklehouse fiberglass yeah we're out on fiberglass so steven that's all you carbon fiber should have been plenty 100 was all him yeah of course it was you're the velcro ones dude he was pretty i mean he was good and, of course it was. You have the Velcro ones, dude. He was pretty, I mean, he was good. And then, of course, after that, like he texted us the next day. He's like, boys, never thought I'd say this, but I could go play some pickleball right now.

He's into it. It's so addicting. Like, welcome. Fun. Yeah. Thanks for listening, guys. Hey, come to Branson. What are you doing?

What are you doing at home on Friday, September 13th through Sunday, September 15th? Bonus comment of the week. Just off the top of my head, Angela Birdwell commented, I cannot wait for Branton. It's going to be so fun. I cannot wait for Angela Birdwell to be in Branson. It's going to be so fun. Yep. Got your six, Angela.

Let me double check. Sent 59 minutes ago. Man. Hey, guys. Love the videos. So funny and original. Too sarcastic. I should have. Maybe I'll go to Ghost R Wars podcast, send them another one. Hey, guys. Seriously need these battles.

Seriously, cannot get enough. We should make that segment into a reel, and then that'll explode. They'll get all ridiculed. Ridiculed. I mean, they have zero followers on the Friday Pickleball one. I don't understand. They have 448 followers, but zero people that are following. That's right.

Either way, hopefully it doesn't by the time this comes out, that page is not going to exist. So fun. Don't even worry about it. We'll see you guys next Monday. We love you guys.

We'll see you then. Timon, say the thing. Bye. Live in the light. Live in the light. Ghost from the Spot. Ghost from the Spot. Everybody morning we're taking ground. Ghost it a lot.
