All right, everyone. Episode 37. We're here and we're in my basement. You're kidding. Well, you know, because you're here. I am. We're in our new permanent podcast studio. Yeah, baby. This thing would be called a Sharpie if it were a marker. Because... Because it's permanent.

You're not getting it off of me. Nope. You're actually not getting... I have paint all over my hands and I tried washing it off and it doesn't really come off that well. Did really water. Well, I did that too. It's water-based paint, right? Yes. Okay. I tried washing it with like a pine cone and then I tried like a, like my bed sheets and I went outside, got some leaves, nothing. No, I washed my hands. I was very surprised at the lack of paint that was removed from my hands.

You kind of have less judgment towards people that have nasty hands after you do any kind of job like that. Cause then you look at your own hands and you're like, I wash those things so well. I know they're clean. Yeah, there's still so much on there. Yeah. I used to like, yeah, stain.

And then I would get it like in the crevices of my fingers. And my dad would be like, what are you doing with that? Take a shower, boy. I'm like, dad, they're clean. I just, it's hard to get in there. One time I was at church as probably a five-year-old boy. There was a four-year-old boy who I went to church with. His name was Grant Holmes.

We were in the sanctuary during the sermon. This is a decent-sized church. I have no clue what this sermon is about. I can't remember that, obviously. But the preacher, I started with this. Hosey Blue was his name. Sick name. Hosey Blue?

Sounds like an influencer. Yeah, it does. Oh, did you see Hosey Blue's post? Oh, Hosey Blue just went to Hawaii. Did you see? Yeah. I swiped up for hosie blues presets they're so sick hosie blue was his name and it was something probably about sin or yeah you know

now once you look at your hands are they dirty or are they clean four-year-old grant holmes the back of the sanctuary they're clean never forgot it it was wow, what a nutcase. Oh, that great psycho. I didn't get it. And then this is kind of funny and a true story. So we moved to Stratford, you know, when I'm in fourth grade, we,

we leave that church. So it was a different city. And then when I'm in like 10th or 11th grade, who moves to Stratford, but grant homes. Oh, the homes new with the clean hands. We've actually never talked about that

story. And as far as I know, he doesn't listen to the podcast, but I'd be surprised. I hope, yeah, he gets back to me on his clean hands. There's someone listening who probably knows Grant Holmes. That's awesome. If you're listening and you know Grant Holmes, go ahead and leave a five-star review and tell us your favorite memory. Yes. Thank you. Anyway, my hands are dirty because I was painting this new studio or priming it yeah getting her primed brad and isaac were very helpful in getting the structure of it here built yeah and basically when you're the one who's not a woodworker you paint because you can't really do any of the other stuff go ahead and go paint that man there's no way you could possibly screw that

up just but i think you can i think it's a thing oh yeah because you said you're not that good of a painter i think it's a thing that you can be bad at painting I'm sure there's a spectrum to it like anything else but compared to what you guys did which was building a room out of plywood in the middle of a basement in like the span of four hours yeah which I've never done before and I don't know how good of a job we did but it's functional for what we're trying to do out of it when you guys look at our podcast Instagram clips this week, you're going to see a pretty dingy set of walls behind us because the plan was to prime them this morning

and then paint them and have them ready and didn't have enough time. So they're just white right now. Now you know why contractors are always running late. You know, they always think they have, they're going to have a plan and then plan always gets screwed up. So just respect the contract.

That's true. What's that Mike Tyson quote? Everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth. That's me as a painter too. That's going to be the Titans on Sunday, baby. Oh yeah. Here's something guys, which Brad and I didn't even fully talk about this, but I'm just going to say something. Let me know what you think if the chiefs win Sunday. Well, at this point, you guys know if the chiefs won or not, but we do not. So if the Chiefs won yesterday, then we are going to do a bonus podcast for you guys. Yes. This week. Yes. Just a short one. Just a bonus. Probably before this one comes out. Huh? Wait, what did you say? Oh, wait, go ahead. It's a little confusing when you think, yeah, because in my mind, I'm like, oh, this will be fun.

So then they can root for the Chiefs too. But they already played. So this doesn't, it doesn't even matter. Root for the Chiefs. Just if we say it, if we say it loud enough, like maybe they'll hear us. This is legitimately confusing me right now. Like, oh, wait, this is not incentivizing them

to root for the Chiefs at all. It already happened. Root for the Chiefs at the Super Bowl if they win. But if they won, then yeah. Basically, if they win, Brad and I are going to be so excited that we'll talk about the Chiefs. And you guys go to bonus podcast this week. Hot take. If they win, next podcast in Miami, dude.

Huh? We would. Oh, Miami. Yes. Did not know what you meant. Welcome to Miami. Bienvenido a miami buddy in the city where the heat is on all night in the beach to the break of dawn welcome to miami yeah you got it so you're saying we go to miami i am absolutely saying that and go to the game or just like go to record our

podcast in miami yes probably both we could we could interview all the all the stars that'll be there that would be fun shack's probably going to be there we have a new sponsor this week so maybe they could give us more like give us like seven or eight thousand more dollars they gave and then we could get tickets to the game that seems reasonable we'll call them that's pretty generous of them yeah that would be that would be generous of them. Yeah, that would be. That would be generous of them. Living up to their name. Yeah, we're excited.

The Chiefs came last week. I know most of you guys don't care, but it was- No, no, no. We're going to get them to care. Magical. Let's use an analogy. Let's try to explain what happened for the people who do not care about football and don't care about sports.

Let's try to tell them what happened in the first quarter and in the second quarter. Okay. Um, let's say you're a big, I'll let's, let's just, let's just riff back and forth on different analogies. I'll start. Okay. Let's say you're a big shopper and, um, you go to your favorite store and they tell you, um, Oh, you can't buy. You're like, Oh, I really liked this coat. They're like, Oh, you can't buy this coat. You actually owe us $5,000 because you've spent all this money. And you're like, no, I haven't. I didn't, I don't deserve, I don't deserve this treatment. And then they check their, they check their computers. They're like, yeah, I don't know. It's a fluke maybe, but this isn't, this isn't right.

But you owe us $5,000. You're like, no, no, no. I deserve, I deserve this coat for a good price. And then they check their computers again. and they're like, wait a second. Hold on. You're incredible. Here's, here's $30,000 for whatever you want. Just going off shopping spree. That's what it was like to me. And it happened that fast. It was, it was last Sunday. Let me check. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Here's one. Okay. You're camping. Oh yeah. And uh-oh, you forgot. You got bit by a tick in June and you're not supposed to have red meat. Nope. Nope. Nope. But you cooked some sausage links on the fire and now you have some diarrhea.

Hello. S links with the dia. Yeah. So you're like, uh-oh, this is, this is already not a good situation. And, uh, your friend, let's call him Patrick. He's sitting by the fire and you say, hey, can you throw me that toilet paper? I'm gonna go out in the woods to take care of business. He throws it to you and it's on third down and you drop it. You don't catch the toilet paper.

This is airtight. It rolls back to Patrick. And so I'm like, throw it to me again. And it's third down again. And I drop it again. This happens a couple more times. Third down on the camping. Third down on camping.

Then eventually gets to the point, he throws it. And I just don't even know what happened. I like, I fumble it. And I can't even find this toilet paper. So now I'm in the woods with diarrhea and no toilet paper. What am I going to do? This is going to be an awful camping trip. I have three more quarters left.

Oh boy. Three more quarters of this camping trip. But then out of nowhere, this baboon, let's call him Dan Sorensen. Oh, were you camping in the Amazon? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's the Amazon. Yeah. This baboon named Dan Sorensen comes down. Good job making sure that baboon is Dan Sorensen and not another player on the Chiefs. Yeah, exactly. This is a Caucasian fella. And he gives me all the toilet paper I can imagine. Oh, wow. And I, turns out, didn't even have diarrhea.

I was fine. Yeah, I was fine. Yeah. I was solid. Okay, next one. There's more? Oh, yeah. You. Yeah. I was solid. Okay, next one. There's more? Oh, yeah. You're going on a road trip.

Okay. You're driving for three, four hours. And then you look at your map and you're like, bro, is this west? It's like, no, we're driving east. Like, oh, my gosh. We are just driving the wrong. We're driving straight for St. Louis. It's the worst city in the world.

And then somebody halfway through was like, oh, where are you guys going? You guys are trying to go to Colorado. We're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I have an airplane. Let's just go. Let's just go ahead and get my airplane and we'll go. And then before you know it, you're in Colorado.

What was the pilot's name? The pilot's name was Mahomes Patrick. Mahome Patrick. Mahome Patrick. You want to go Mahome? Yeah. Take Mahome. Yeah. So basically this football game was just awesome. Mahone Patrick. You want to go Mahone? Yeah. Take Mahone. Yeah.

So basically this football game was just awesome. It was awesome. Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong so fast. And then so just as fast every, we were winning. We were losing 24 to zero. And then we weren't. All of a sudden. Yeah.

We just scored seven times in a row, seven touchdowns in a row. And ended up scoring 51 points in three quarters. It was awesome. It was the only time a team had ever been losing by 20 points and ended up winning by 20 points. Yeah. We set so many records. It was awesome. Also the only time that a team was losing by 20 points and then was leading at halftime of that same game.

Also the only time a team was losing by 20 points when Hattie was put to bed and then end up coming back and winning once Hattie was asleep. I loved. Yeah. And you know, she didn't sleep. Did I tell you that? Like she just like rested in bed and she told us that she told me when I woke her up. Oh yeah. You're like, did you sleep? She's like, I don't know. Yeah. She's like, I heard you guys yelling for the chiefs. Yeah. That did happen. Maybe I shouldn't tell that to Catherine because Catherine wasn't there. It was just me and you.

It was just you and me, baby. Mono e mono. And I woke up Hattie and like, I did not train her to do this. I don't know how she knew to do this. But literally I turned on the light and it was every once in a while, I'm kind of joking with her. I'm like, hey, hey. And she goes, hey.

And then all of a sudden she starts chanting, Chiefs, Chiefs, Chiefs. And I was like, oh my goodness, my girl. Your daughter on AFC Divisional Sunday, just chanting Chiefs. I was just like bright eyed. I was like, Yeah, Chiefs, Chiefs. Let's go. You came into the room looking like you just saw a ghost or something. I was like, everything all right?

You're like, Yeah. How do you just, we're just chanting Chiefs when I walked into the room. Oh man, yeah. We thought that she needed a nap really she just needed to meditate for a while you know um it was it was a great fun time man so i'll have more to say about this once it happens but uh pretty cool scenario i've i've finagled my way into chief's tickets this sunday only jake could this happen to i mean maybe i think it could happen other people but yeah it's pretty but these things happen to. I mean, maybe. I think it could happen to other people, but yeah, it's pretty cool.

But these things happen to you more often than they happen to anybody else I know. Probably. I'll say that. Yeah, that's probably true. Go ahead. Sorry. Well, I'll save the details once it happens and it could talk more about everything. Maybe for the special podcast.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Once we win. Yes. But you're going. But I get to go. I've never been to a playoff game of any sport. Really?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So a playoff game of any sport. Really? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So this will be really, really cool. And it's the team I've been a lifelong fan of. A team I've never like wavered from. You know, like I've always been a Chiefs fan when it comes to football. So really excited.

It's going to be awesome, dude. Yeah. It's going to be a little nippy. Do you ever blow of nine that day? Really? Yes. A lot of hot chocolate. Yeah.

Down my throat. Down my pants. In my socks. Everywhere. A lot of hot chocolate. Yeah. Down my throat, down my pants, in my socks, wherever I can fit it. Yep. Wherever you can fit it. Brad, how are you? How you doing? Tell me about How you doing? How you doing? Hey, you want to get fixed up real nice? Come on over here, man. Okay. How are the things, brother?

You having a good week, man? I tell you what, man. The things are iry, man. Everything got to be iry. I don't know. I can't go much longer with it to make an accent. It's okay, brother. I'm doing well, brother. You know, things are good with the wife and I, brother.

And, you know, just really kind of trying to focus on my 401k recently, brada. And you know what I'm saying. You know, just organizing our tings, you know. How are you, though? I'm good. Yeah. Nothing to complain about. Just any updates for the people on your life, on your business?

Business is going well. Yeah. Oh, here's an update. I've had, I was going to yeah i oh here's an update i've had i was gonna say overwhelming that's not really true but i've had a lot of people ask about t-shirts recently and so oh your t-shirts my ls custom creations t-shirts and for the longest time i was like i'm just gonna do it for friends and family and then i thought to myself that was easy enough to order those let's just order them again our

friend Allison because they're getting gets commission if we order from her cool and are they getting drop shipped like you don't have to no I had to oh I had to ship them but maybe a little risky maybe I could talk to her about that I don't know it's just tough you don't want to have to like try and guess the demand of the ghost runners t-shirt market like wait what's drop ship to me what's that mean dropship would be like the screen printing company will fulfill the orders for you like that way you don't even have to see the shirts going out like oh i see because the alternate is you you fork out the money and buy 40 t-shirts and then hoping that you sell 40 oh no no i would i would definitely

get their order and their payment beforehand oh great and then I would just order specific sizes and colors and stuff. Yeah. You don't make as much money that way, but it's so much less riskier and so easier. Yeah. I'll try to make a little bit of money off of it. Last time with friends and family, I was just like, this is how much it costs me. Anyway, if you're interested in a t-shirt, let me know. Also, this is embarrassing.

Like genuinely embarrassing. We did a t-shirt giveaway a long time ago and we chose a winner and it took me so long to email or to send out those like in the mail, the t-shirts that I could no longer find the Instagram direct message from the person who won. So if you are the winner of the free t-shirt, I have your t-shirt. I just don't remember your name. And so I don't know who to send it to. So message me that as well. Um, Ellis custom creations on Instagram at Ellis custom creations, please. Or Facebook. Yes. Uh, or Ellis custom creations.com, whatever floats

your boat. So anyway, business is good. Uh, also selling some cutting boards if you're interested in those. So, um, but yeah, overall it's good. I'm going to Texas tomorrow to visit Catherine's grandparents in West Texas. Oh, I got some things to say about old people when you're done. He's celebrating his 90th birthday, which I think is definitively old. The older I get- Are people trying to say it's not old?

No, I'm saying I was about to say something else. The older I get, the less I think that certain ages are old. Like my dad is 66 right now. I think when I was 15, I thought, oh, 66. That dude's old. Old man river. I don't feel like he's that old. Compared to Catherine's grandpa.

That's like, he's got one third left. Yeah, he's doing just fine. Even like my aunt, I think she's 70 something, 71, 72 now. And she feels young and spry. She's in her seventies, right? She's texting me. She's great. PayPal on her money.

Yes. She probably has PayPal on her phone. Yeah. Um, you guys know that's an app learned that in episode 15. You guys know that one of the biggest, um, ways to send money electronically has an app. Um, yeah. the biggest ways to send money electronically has an app. Yeah. So anyway, I just, but 90, 90 is old, no matter how spry you are nine year old when you're 90. I don't care what planet you're orbiting the sun on. If you go around it 90 times, good job.

Yeah. So anyway, going down to out to West Texas, which is a whole different country out there. Have you ever been out there? Yes. It's just different, man. It's just like, there's like nothing out there except for oil rigs. And cowboys. Cowboys. And cowgirls. And there's all these people that like have all this oil money or water money. Have you know, do you know this? Like that people are getting paid millions, literally millions of dollars for having clean water.

To just sell their water rights. No, not even clean. I don't know how clean it is, but selling their water rights to the oil companies so that they can use the water to drill more oil. Sounds like something we should get into. Like Catherine's grandpa, we went and visited them and we had breakfast with this guy and he's like, yeah, that guy right there. Catherine's grandma told me this. This guy, this guy right here was in a trailer like his whole life. And last year made $2 million by just signing checks over for his water on his land.

And so now he's like a millionaire living in this mansion. Wow. Yeah, for nothing. It's crazy. For water rights. For water. Water. For water, man.

The bobsled team. Water rights. That would be, it would be a tough business for me to get into because I would have trouble saying it. I would want to say water rights. You're saying the Donald Trump accent. Water rights. Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat, toy boat, okay?

We got plenty of toy boats on our water, which we have the right to be on, okay? Anyway, so going out there. You should go and guest speak at like a speech pathology class. Like I cracked the code. I know how to fix all of this. Sally sells sea shers by the sea. Dang it.

Okay, don't take that one. Okay, try. Give me another one. Red leather, yellow leather. Come on. I tell you what. Just all the tongue twisters. Give me the one about, give me the one about

what's the one about pickles. Peter's pickles. I don't know. A woodchuck. Give me that one. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck? If a woodchuck could chuck wood, toy boat, toy boat, toy boat. Okay. No problem. No problem. Bring it. Combo move. I don't think I could do that in my normal voice, but probably not going to West Texas. I am watching the game with my in-laws. So if we lose, it's like double whammy for me. Cause it's no fun to lose around anybody that you're not like fully invested in this team with, but it'd be better if we, if you and I and Gunnar were there for each other, if we lose, like it was looking like we were going to lose obviously on Sunday. And I thought this stinks, but at least it stinks for Jake really bad too. You know, like, like Catherine's dad is going to be watching with me and he's a great guy, really loves sports, but is a huge Cowboys fan. He doesn't have a dog.

It doesn't hurt him. Like it's going to hurt you. No, right. It's, it's like going to be debilitating to me. You're going to be an unhappy camper with diarrhea and you don't want that. Right. On third down, dropping the toilet paper. There's not always going to be that baboom of life. That's right. Rafiki. Rafiki.

You're not going to get Rafit back to life, man. So anyway, yeah, pray for me, man. Pray for me that the Chiefs win because...

Well, it already happened. They can't. Holy cow. I know. It's so confusing. That's why one of our first episodes that threw me off

was like, the people listening to this know how long we talked for. We don't yet. You know, like they know that we're going to talk for another 45 minutes, but we don't know. They know that it's not really almost done. They know what the title of this episode is. Wow.

Crazy. That's deep. But yeah, I've been to West Texas before. One time I thought I was going to Horseshoe Bend and I went to Big Bend on accident. Which I hear is awesome. Still cool. Is Big Bend in West Texas? Yes, barely.

Oh, it is. We showed them a picture of Horseshoe Bend and said, where is this? That's about 400 miles in Northern Arizona. We're like, all right, what's the next best thing? What else you got? And we did find out some cool things. Like that's the darkest sky,

I think in the contiguous United States. I'm assuming Alaska is probably a little darker. But so it was really cool. Got to see some cool things. Like that's the darkest sky, I think, in the contiguous United States. I'm assuming Alaska is probably a little darker. But so it was really cool. Got to see some cool stars. Yeah. Which that's always boggled my mind as well. I mean, like the stars are out. That sentence really doesn't make sense because the stars are always there.

Just a visibility thing. Yeah. It's really cool once they show themselves. I remember like going out into the country when I was in middle school or something for camp and looking up and like seeing the stars so much better than you can see them in the city and being like what we we've been robbed this whole time this is incredible you've had these extra gloves this whole time yeah dude we got Orion no nice oh yeah what do you think that was good because it also yeah that was good yeah good parody hey. You're a clever guy. I'm serious.

About what? That was another joke about. Oh, okay. Anyway. Serious is a dog constellation. You're right. The Sirius XM radio, I think their logo is a dog. That's correct.

Same dog. Same puppers. People now, ever since I complained about that, people have been sitting me like annoying dog stuff. And it legitimately annoys me every time. Really? It's not like, oh, like, thanks. Good one, yeah. Like I say that, but I'm like,

oh, this is annoying though. Who, like, whatever. You see the ones where they rate dogs like on a scale that doesn't really make sense. Oh, she rates dogs. Yeah, it's huge on Twitter. So dumb. Yeah.

You see Redbox clapping back at me, by the way? Yeah, there's a life update for the podcast. I said, am I wrong? Yeah wrong yeah and they said you're wrong red bucks commented on our podcast instagram just a few days ago it's awesome and then i just recently commented on coca-cola the coca-cola one just like coca-cola am i wrong trying to see what happens maybe i was doing every single one but oh speaking of old people i've been watching better Better Call Saul with Isaac and because I own a TV now. Hello. Rich boy.

First time. I own a TV and I can afford a house. First time you can watch something because now you have a TV. Yeah. Couldn't watch anything on anything else. Nope. No way. No way.

No way. But we've been getting into Better Call Saul. And last night there was an episode where he, you know, is working at a bingo hall calling out numbers. And then he tries to make them fun. And it took me back to the time that we played bingo together with these old people. So you guys, this is probably pretty early on in a Brad and I's friendship, maybe a year or two. Sure. The only time we- Esther was there. Shout out Esther. Esther. Only time we've ever done this before, but I think Catherine was there as well. I think it was the four of us.

We had a crew. And of course, I mean, it makes sense once you know Brad and I's personality, but it just kind of came out of nowhere at the time. We're playing bingo. We're the only people under the age of 65 in this place. Like truly like an old person's home, essentially playing bingo. It was really fun. They'd say things like, all right, our next one is B9.

So Brad would like, hey, Jake, did you hear the prognosis on that tumor yet? Oh, yeah, that freckle I was scared about on my back. Yeah, it turns out it's not cancerous. Oh, good. It's B9. It's B9. Oh, good. Yeah.

All right. Next one is G54. Brad, I've been being asked, how young is your dad? He looks pretty young. Ah, G, 54 or so. Gee, 54 years old. Wow, he is young. He's spry, yeah. Wow.

And universally young. He's not 66 or anything like that yet. And so some of them were easier than others. Pretty much anything with B was easy. B was, yeah, the best one. B4, you know, all those were easy. And then it'd be like, I'm trying to think of other ones. In 33, Brad, when's the last time you i'm trying to think on now brad when's the last time you uh

went got gas gosh i haven't i haven't been to a quick trip in 30 33 days probably really yeah in 33 days it was a good time yeah it was a good flashback but better call saw last night that was good i like that i remember we had uh we had daubers or whatever, dabbers. Dabbers. And they said dab and fever on them. Oh, yeah. And so we'd always be like, dab and fever. Got the dab and fever.

Good times, man. Classic cabin fever pun. Yeah. I wrote down after watching that last night, old people home, dot, dot, dot, second college, question mark. So my grandma lives in a not a nursing home but like an assisted living space okay and it is it's like it's like high school dude again like uh well i was more thinking like college because like dormitory like you're living with people your

own age and doing life together yeah why do you say high school sorry keep going i guess you'd call it the the comparison to high school is more like the social aspect of it. It's kind of like high school. Like, like my grandma started having a boyfriend. Um, here we go. Yeah. At tall grass is what it's called. That was his name. No. Yeah. Old tall grass over there. Uh, he was a native American guy. Uh, he's like, yeah, I had the either raging bull or tall grass. So I chose tall grass. I was pretty interested in a squatting dog and he passed away. Oh, seriously. What? Serious?

Yeah. Going back to that great, hilarious joke. Well, I'm serious, right? I need to see it. I need to see that you're spelling it S-I-R. Siriously. Is that better? Yeah, that's better.

That's funny. Grandma, how's it going? I got a boyfriend. Yeah. Oh, tall grass. I saw the? Yeah, that's better. That's funny. Grandma, how's it going? I got a boyfriend. Yeah. So tall grass. I saw the way he's looking at you. So anyway, I was dating this guy. Then they broke up and then it was like a dramatic thing. Like when she would see him at the dining hall, AKA like the cafeteria. This is awesome. Yeah. And it would be like, oh, he's sitting with Nancy. I can't believe you. He just put her, his spoon in her applesauce cup. I don't believe this. Yep. Yep. Exactly. So there's stuff like that all the time. There's also this there, I can tell a lot of funny stories about tall grass, but, um, one of them is that

they have all like, they have this plaque of, uh, like in their lobby that says perfect games. And then underneath it, we bowling. And then there's like four or five different, uh, little like plaques down below it of people who've gotten perfect games doing we bowling. This is awesome. Every single one of them is the same guy that's gotten like multiple 300 games of we bowling. And I just think, I love the image of this guy just in this lobby, just like having a hard time, like getting the form right. And then just feeling it and figuring it out. And just, yeah,

today was my day. I just figured it out. You look on the plaque and his name is just like long strike. Like that makes sense. They just follow through Turkey, man. Yeah. This is in Tulsa,

Oklahoma. Apparently that checks out. Yeah. That's right. What, what's other like old people drama. Like if it was like the real world tall grass, like what are some of like the tropes and the issues that would happen in this show?

I mean. I mean, dabbing fever. Right. Someone's going to come down with that. Yeah. Like maybe like, yeah, I was next in line for that bingo card and she took it instead and she ended up winning. That's a big one.

Yeah. She cut. That's a big one. Yeah. She cut, she cut no cut. Some of them, you know, to get to everything, all it is, is just like a keypad, you know? So maybe, you know, someone figures out like the pantry's keypad and they're playing it close to the chest. It's like the immunity idol. They're like what they're willing to give up for this keypad. Maybe my grandma is on the dining committee.

And so they make lots of decisions about, like, it's like a really nice assisted living home. Like it's like pretty expensive, I think, to get in. And so like, there's like some pretty high maintenance, like people that really think they, you know, they deserve the best because they're spending all this money, which kind of makes sense.

But anyway, so I think there's some drama within like how quickly you can get served or, you know, like, why does that person get their food before we do, you know, all this different stuff. I don't know. I think as you get older, you just get a little bit less polite. Like it's as funny as that sounds like my grandma is a really sweet lady, but sometimes when she asks for things at, uh, you know, at dinner, like when I come visit her, it's

like, oh, that wasn't the nicest way to say that. I remember you not asking it that way now now you got my ketchup where's my ketchup oh i'm so sorry i'll get that okay it's like that's not really mean but that's not could be better way to say it but do you ever have any grandfathers in your family that like couldn't stop mentioning your weight no what do you mean just trying to try to feel out if this is a a triplet thing or if this is a great thing to be fair my grandpa's both died before i my one of them died when i was one when i was like four so maybe they did and i don't remember it oh what a cute little chubby baby maybe they said but maybe they did i don't know it's actually i

guess wouldn't be a triplet we had a uh we had one on my mom's side back in the day. What's that? What's that name? The Millers or the Lisks. Okay. And yeah, pretty consistently. Every time he saw my mom or my sister, you know, this is my sister's a 16 year old girl. The most probably vulnerable time of your life to be talked about.

Sure. Weight. Sure. Potentially. Caitlin, you're getting bigger. And like the thing was, she was not, she was like a gymnast, softball player, volleyball player. It's like, it wasn't something to really be self-conscious about, but it was like, is this like an old person thing? Or are you just like, like, do you think that's a compliment? Or yeah, maybe it was like, like, whoa, you look huge.

Thank you. You've gotten massive since Thanksgiving. I'm so proud of you. Wow. Your, wow your your cheeks are really filling in yeah those hips that's what i studied abroad in my uh host mom she was like 70 years old and she was so proud of the fact that she's gotten she had gotten both me and my other american roommate fatter uh which i definitely lost weight but she was like no no you you gained weight and like because because it was like a reflection on the fact that she cooked really well for us like oh yeah you've gotten fatter for sure you know there's anything in like eastern asia like where food is harder to come by it's like a sign of like royalty to be overweight because i know that used to be a thing like in

like back in the day like yeah the king was always big boy yeah eat drink and be merry you know big throne big boy big cheeks yep That's probably a thing. Yep. Something else I've been watching this week. Let me rephrase myself right there. I got out of the shower this week and Isaac is watching something. What is it? But the freaking Bachelor.

Didn't know I was roommates with a lady. No, I give a pretty hard time about it. And so I caught the last 15 minutes of this episode i've never watched the bachelor before i've like kind of like this i caught it i obviously i know what the show's about yeah but this was the most intense i've ever watched it was only 15 minutes uh have you ever watched it by the way like have you ever given it much time yeah every once in a while i'll watch like the last uh like the finale uh with katherine and every time i'm like i what what's he doing what are they serious? What is this? Like,

I always get like a little bit frustrated with it, but yeah, I'm sure I am far from the first person to have these exact same thoughts. Okay. But it's truly crazy. Like I see this man on TV, go take a girl. So there's like six girls on a couch. He takes one of them out to this private area, talks to him for a little bit. They open up to him. Basically they get teary eyed, kisses him. Great. Sends her back to the couch, takes another girl, go back to the private area. They open up to him. He kisses him, takes it back to the couch. I'm like, this is the show. He just, he just lips are for anyone. Oh yeah. His lips, no boundaries. Communal chapstick is that guy. He is the chapstick that keeps on giving never-ending chapstick on that guy. Yeah, I I couldn't believe I'm like

I'm gonna start doing this in real life girls love The Bachelor Do you want to you want to be dated with alongside 19 other girls? Yeah, I can do that show on up Yeah, I got a couch The craziest thing is that they like usually get proposed to at the end of it Like it was really, really hard decision for me to pick between you and somebody else. But now that I've picked you, do you want to spend the rest of my life with me within the last hour of my decision? Like that's crazy. Like you gotta, you gotta date longer than that.

Just the idea of, yeah. Choosing which one of these two people am I going to marry? Yeah. That should never be the case. I would love to hear a premarital counselor endorse it. Yeah. Choose between these two people right now who you're going to marry. Choose. Is it hard? It's hard for you? Well, in that case, once you make your decision, you should definitely just go ahead and just jump right in with two feet. I was doing some research. I think there's been like 20 something episodes of The Bachelor, another 10 to 15 of the bachelorette it's out of like 30 let's say 36 seasons i think like four are married or something oh really so girls are willing guys and girls both are willingly signing up for this thing that makes no sense

that does not coincide with the societal bounds and norms of dating and it has been proven to fail and everyone just can't just sign me up i'm sure i'm sure he's a nice guy yeah this one's gonna be different i watched one one season um at the like a finale where the guy chose one girl and then on camera like a month later two months later i don't know how many months later broke up with her because he was regretting not choosing the other girl and then like retroactively chose another girl nice it was ridiculous i could not believe it it's a nice move oh my gosh so some other things i saw this episode they the tail end of what i saw was they they did some like runway walk where the girls get to pick their outfit and walk for peter just you know which is fine i guess that

you know that's fine show up your body go go go crazy because most of the bachelor uh girl contestants are pretty ugly and so you know you have to it's nice to finally distinguish yourself from from them you know yeah it's like okay now i can kind of see why he's attracted to him okay this helps because the rest of their outfits they're just kind of throwing on sweats and yeah you're like okay put some effort in right victoria f come on so this one girl i think it was Victoria, actually. Victoria F. Victoria, yes, with the effort.

She was feeling very self-conscious about her walk, post-walk. Okay. And she's opening up to Peter. I just, I don't know. I could have walked better. Yeah. Like they're making this the crux of it. Who cares?

And he takes her by the hand. And I was so impressed by her walk. Your walk was the best walk. And like dramatic music is playing. I'm like, this is what they're making. Like the, the big part of this episode, she is being encouraged and completely uplifted by one of the first things she was able to do as a human. This is one of the first things you accomplish in life. And yeah, she did it in front of 20 people in a room while wearing short jean shorts. Congratulations, Victoria. What do you need a pat on the back for?

We can all walk fine. We can do that. Yeah. We all walk good. I talk good, walk good. Talk good. It's easy. I just, your walk, your walk was, it was adequate.

That's too funny, dude. And then, sorry, one last thing and then i i promise i won't talk about the bachelor anymore that's okay the uh another quote i wrote down you know there's obviously gonna be some drama girl comes back to the couch she uh probably after kissing peter she's like so apparently i'm being called a bully by so-and-so and there's a little drama you know between the girls so this other girl normal headed or normal level headed her head was fine too normal headed girl uh was like well you know you could just go talk to her about it directly that girl's like i can't no i can't do that that's ridiculous that would not work trust me that that's the last thing i need right now is to go talk to her face to face and you know know, those producers are like, please don't do that. Don't go talk to her. Yeah.

That's not good TV. Let it build up. Talk about your walk. Yeah. No, she's busy. She's gonna be busy until, until really this blows up until you can't take any longer and we get to see some action. It was just crazy. I mean, I saw such a little part of it and I was like, this is, I have so much material to talk about. I can't imagine if i watch the full season yeah i know almost everyone that watches it really enjoys it which is just like this is trash tv and most people that i know that watch it are watching it for the most ironically and like they know it's a guilty pleasure for them oh yeah everyone has those and if the bachelor is your guilty pleasure i think you're you're fine okay sure i think i think i think you're just a loser.

No, I'm just kidding. My wife has been watching it the last couple of years as well. So one of my, you know, I said I've never watched The Bachelor, but just from what I do know, probably my favorite Bachelor in history, Brad, is a guy by the name of Ben Higgins. Oh, Biggins. Bobo Biggins.

Bilbo Biggins. And one of the things that I've really enjoyed about him is seeing his company sponsor our podcast this week. That's right. Ben Higgins is a former bachelor and was one of the co-founders of a coffee company that's about to turn two years old. So it can probably walk. So it's walking fine. It's not worried about it. It's about to turn two years old. So it can probably walk. So it's walking fine. It's not worried about it. It's not self-conscious. If I could see a walk, I would be so impressed by its walk. Hey, coffee company. Generous coffee. Generous coffee. Your walk was the best walk.

Of all the walks. Wow. So yeah, pretty cool. They're sponsoring the podcast this week. And what's even cooler so one of my really good friends maddie short works for uh generous so that's how we got connected and she's like what do you want the promo code to be you know for this coffee company said that's a no brainer guys the promo code this week or forever to get 15 off is isaac if you're new here that's not gonna make a lot of sense but just trust me me, it makes a lot of sense. Just listen to the old episodes, you'll get it. Yeah. You'll find it eventually, baby. So promo code is Isaac to get 15% off anything. They don't just sell coffee. They got a bunch of cool stuff going on. Let me tell you a little bit about the company real quick, because it's basically, so Generous is a for-profit company, but they're

also a for-purpose company. They do a lot of really good things other than just sell coffee and sell goods. The whole reason that it was started was to give back to people. You know, Generous is not even two years old yet. You know, they're still very much in the startup phase, but last year they were able to give back over $40,000 to 20 different nonprofits. So very generous company. It makes sense why they're called this. They love helping people. One of their biggest beneficiaries is Humanity and Hope United. They do sustainable work down in Honduras and they give a ton of donations

to many other nonprofits. They have a ton of social causes they work with. They have an ambassador program of over 200 people. They're all across the country meeting up to do these service projects together. So it actually is a really cool company. Like it's almost like their humanitarian project with coffee is like a front.

Coffee is their way to be able to help people, you know, rather than just working off donations, I assume. So it's always, it's always nice to be able to buy something that, you know, is not just getting completely going to profits. Like they're going to do something intentional with this money beyond just, um, yeah, beyond just profits, just, yeah. Making money. So, uh, yeah. Go check out the link in our bio. We have,

we have sampled the coffee. Oh yeah. That's right. It is. We have tasted it. Awesome. It'll get you going. Seriously.

It is really, really good. Uh, and this was before we ever like, this was pre sponsor. Yeah. It was just like, they sent us a package.

Thanks Maddie. Yeah. Maddie sent us another package. Thanks Maddie. Yeah. Yeah. sent us another package. Thanks, Maddie. Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, really, really, really good coffee. If you're a coffee person, coffee snob, I think I think you'll you'll be OK with this.

I think I think you'll. And if not, let us know, because we want you to be satisfied because I think you're wrong. And I'll talk to you about it. Yeah. It is so like like some of the best coffee places I go to in Kansas City, Isaac made me a latte from Generous Coffee and it tasted exactly like those places. Oh yeah, baby. And it's a fraction of the cost and you're supporting a cause.

You're helping out so many people. What's your, what's your favorite way to be generous? Oh, probably just thinking of Kylie and Kendall Jenner's and all that they've done for the world. Yeah. There's some of my favorite generous things. Okay. What about you?

Oh, man. Well, you know, just recently we decided to have a second baby. And so we decided to have a generous reveal. Yeah. Those are good, too. Love a good generous reveal um okay that's enough for the ad read uh generousmovement.com promo code isaac if you don't know how to spell isaac then

you don't even deserve the discount figure it out we went on a mission trip to trinidad uh i went with isaac and his whole family and one of the main workers there like took pride in memorizing all of our names very quickly. Okay. And so she was going through all the lists, but she mispronounced Isaac's name every time. It was hilarious to me. I love it. So she would be like, okay. And she had kind of like a, she was American, but she was living in Trinidad. Trinidad's a very unique accent. Yeah. I think maybe because she had been in Trinidad so long, she had kind of acclimated some of her accent, but she was also from Chicago. So I don't know. Anyway, something about her just had a little bit of a funny tone to her voice but she'd be like okay Brad uh Jake Scott uh Kathy then she'd get to Isaac and go Isaac

to this day I just die die every time. Isaac? Isaac? You know, Isaac's just like, yep, that's right. It's like, okay. Anyway. She's like, welcome to the dining hall. Oh, you're very sweaty, Isaac. Oh. Oh, Isaac has just been playing ping pong all day. Anyway, it was just, it was a hilarious month.

That's funny. Anyway, generous coffee. that's exciting times yeah new sponsor yeah that's pretty cool thanks maddie thanks ben next next week let's take our generous coffee drink it either during or before and just both have some extra energy that would be fun baseball is finally back get in on major league action and swing for the fences with bet mgm the king of sportsbooks log in or sign up to play along as bet mgm brings the real-time action embraces season's worth of swings with bet mgm your one-stop shop for all things baseball bet mgm.com for t's and c's 19 plus to wager ontario only gambling problem call connex ontario at 1-866-531-2600.

I was, of course, pleasantly surprised to find that there was absolutely no judgment and a lot of support. And when it was time to get serious, he really took my hand and helped me to do that. Edward Jones. We do money differently. Visit edwardjones.ca slash different. I have some things to talk about. Me too. I think I'm starting to use my platform of a podcast influencer to really just start some extra

trends. Influencer. Yes. And the trend this week has to do with driving. Okay. And it's very simple, but it's very, I think it's, it's not always understood by people. Just, it's simple. Just merge later than you think you should. On the highway especially. Yes. On the on-ramp. I've been driving a lot, I guess this week. I don't know. Maybe just driving to your house a lot, honestly. I'm not coming to you as much anymore. And yeah. And I, whenever I would drive to see Isaac, I would never used to take the highway. And now I take the highway to get to you. And there's like multiple times where the lanes end, you know, it like minimizes the highway and people always get over so quickly.

Like as soon as they're able to get over, they get over. Yeah. And that kills traffic. You don't like that. That makes the traffic way worse than if you just, and like, I always wait till pretty close to the last second. I think we've talked about this on the pod. It's the zipper effect. Yes. You should go in like a zipper. And I never, I never slow down whenever I get over. It's not like, it's not like I'm having to like cut somebody off to get in. You zip hard. No, not. But seriously, it just bothered me so much. So if you're out there driving right now and you're thinking to yourself, oh, I got to get over right now.

No, you don't. Just wait for a second. That's kind of a crazy thought. Do you think someone listening right now is merging? Maybe. Someone right now is on an on-ramp. I bet. I bet there's one way to find out.

How could they possibly let us know of that? Podcast.apples.com. on-ramp. I bet. Cool. I bet there's one way to find out how, how could they possibly let us know of that podcast.apples.com five-star review, five-star review, please. Um, anyway, that's a good thought. Let's get that going. Let's get it going guys. That, and then this one's more, not as much of a trend, but I just have to talk about it real quick. People out there are really, really bad at driving in reverse. I've noticed this more times than I think I should recently, especially in parking lots. When you're getting out of a parking spot, you drive in reverse and they don't go in reverse far enough to where they can just pull out from there.

They often have to reverse, drive forward a little bit, reverse again, drive forward. There's a lot of scared reversers out there. A lot of scared reversers. Skaversers. They're very scared. Yeah. I've noticed this too.

Now, what kind of parking lots are we talking? Like you're talking Home Depot? You're talking like we got some big truck boys? No, I'm talking like- Any parking lot. Like the one that I'm specifically thinking of right now, it was at Chick-fil-A the other day. Somebody, I think they might've even gone in reverse

and drive three times. Like a potentially like five point turn. Yes. Reverse go, reverse go, reverse go. And they could have easily just kept going back and then gone forward. And it was just like, this is, and it was not the first time, but it was the time that pushed me over the edge and said, I'm going to talk about this on the podcast. Do you think it's more of a steering is tougher because the wheels are different?

Or do you think it's a visibility thing? Like, I don't really know where I'm going or what I'm seeing. So I'm going to play it easy. I'm going to lay up. I think it's the lack of confidence in how long you are in the back. Like they don't know.

They don't know. Two chains was onto something. Look back at it, guys. Look back at it. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that could be. It's's a rap song he was talking about like trucks yeah oh okay so look back at it and yeah you have plenty of room back like like i bet this

woman had a whole car's worth of room that she just did not go back unused cars worths shame yep big shame so those are my things merge later reverse better and the world will be a better place and and love stronger guys hey come on and be more generous yeah coffee but i wrote down something i mean i wrote down a lot of stuff oh here's a trend for uh me okay we'll call this trendy thursday so we're recording on thursday trendy thursdays yeah how about just trendy thursdays i try not i'm gonna set for myself that i notice and i can i'll challenge the ghosties out there as well too fast i know i go to fast food more than anyone who probably listens but even a place like chipotle or subway where kind of your food is being in front of you i I find I'm so bad at eye contact. I'm

only ever looking at the food and I feel like I could honor the workers better by like treating them more like humans and not just like something that's doing a job for me, especially fast food. I've now then noticed I'm like, I only look at like the bag. I only look at their hand. Like what can they give me? What are they giving me back? I so rarely even look at them. I bet they could go in an hour without getting at them. I bet they could go in an hour without getting looked at. I'm talking second window person, first window person, maybe. Oh, you're always going through drive-thru or not always, but often. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's a thing that I've noticed as well. I'm going to get better at looking them in the eyes. That's

good. Cause I talked to them, but I try to be pretty, I probably don't give them eye contact initially, but I always try to smile at them afterwards oh that's nice yeah that's really nice so i think i might i'm bad at making eye contact in general though so that's something i can work on sure but i go to fast food so i can just two birds one stone don't really have to yeah yeah yeah perfect that's great two birds one nugget i got pulled over again this week my tags are expired how does that keep happening why they seem like they expired too fast and i asked the cop i was probably because you don't know they're expired and so then it's like

they expire in may but you don't get them redone until october and then you're like it's may again i only had these new tags for like six months i because i asked the cop i was like know, I just had the thought the other day that I should probably see if they're expired. And I forgot to. I was like, but isn't it something I'm supposed to get in the mail? And he was like, well, have you moved? I was like, yeah. I was like, but I put a forward in. Like, all my mail should be forwarded.

And he's like, yeah, sometimes they just, you know, doesn't get sent out. So be vigilant out there, guys. Check your plates. When you're, you know, never mind. No, there So be vigilant out there guys. Check your plates when you're, you know, and nevermind. No, there was going to be an approach. It's not myself. Okay. But just check your plates out there. Guys, uh, got pulled over on the way to boxing. I went there for the first time in like a month, probably a full moon cycle. Yeah. And, uh, this was the, you know, I grew up playing football, basketball, baseball. i've done a lot of cardio workouts a lot you know especially like seventh grade basketball we got half of our class is trying out for

basketball coach doesn't have to cut all these kids so we just run like crazy for the first week so kids will quit gone through a lot of running and this is this tuesday whenever it was was the closest i've ever been to throwing up while like doing anything it was bad you never threw up growing up never threw up via like conditioning like via It was bad. You never threw up growing up? Never threw up via like condition, like via like exhaustion. But you felt it this time? This time it was bad. Was it because of the month hiatus or because of the workout that you were doing that was different than the other weeks?

I had some Sonic about an hour and a half beforehand. I made eye contact with a Sonic blast worker. So that probably didn't help. And then I think, yeah. And then another thing was the, uh, I think I'm gonna stop getting sonic. It's, it's not good. It's doing something to me on the insides. Another thing was, yeah, the lack of working out that I've been doing.

And then another thing was I got there late cause I got pulled over. So I come in hot. No warm up. I just start punching. And that first round, I felt amazing. And so I think that led to my downfall. I was going nuts that first round. It's like, I'm unstoppable. I want to box the instructor right now.

This is amazing. I'm just imagining you literally like, I just walked in, like flying into the parking space, like opening up your door, slamming the car door, flying it and then just start punching, like without even slowing down. Like that just cracks me up. Like, hey, sorry I'm late guys. Like my car is still running, my door is open.

I just walk straight in, like just start kicking and punching as I'm walking in. You throw the keys to the valet. That's so funny. Barking out back, no dings, all right? Give me some space. So, okay, so it was partially because you didn't really get a warmup. Yeah.

Another thing that made it a little worse was, and I'll edit this out, but... Oh. So I really did not want to throw up. Oh, that would be like the ultimate like... That's hilarious. So yeah, I was really trying to hold it in for that. And it just, it was all around. It's not my best showing at state line title boxing.

I can do better. I will do better. I love the, yeah, I still love the image of you just hustling in there with your sonic cup in your hand. Sorry, I'm late guys. I gotta pull over. Bags are expired. Which bag's mine?

Oh, this one? Cool. No, dude, I was dying. It was really bad, really scary. But I'm fine now. I've been doing good about getting sweatier though, which is one of my resolutions. Doing well.

I ran last week too. How far, you think? Funny you ask. Let me tell you how far I ran, Brad. So I start just, it was like 60 degrees. So I was like, I should run. This is awesome. This is perfect January weather.

I start running and not, well, I mean, it felt like I'd been running kind of a while. And like my heart is feeling very fast. And like my ankles are getting sore. Like my hands are feeling achy. It's like my body might be shutting down. For all I know, like this is it. Someone's going to find me collapsed on the ground.

I know at least Brad has my location. He could find me if it were to come to that. And so I'm like, well, let me see how far I've been running. Check the app. 0.9 miles. Come on, baby. It's like, oh my God. I'm so old.

I didn't even make it a mile before I was worried about my health. I might need a hospital. I don't know if I can go on. I'm like Googling what an ambulance costs. Like, is this worth it? How far away am I from home? Who could pick me up? Who do I know here? Get an Uber, take me to the hospital. I mean, that was, that is a real story where like, everything is getting very sore. I'm like, I can't do this. So you just stop, you throw your hands over your head and you're like, you just act like it's like, you know, you just finished a log run. That's awesome. I stopped at a busier intersection that I would have liked when I was at my peak exhaustion.

And then, so, you know, I didn't just want to stand there and just breathe heavy for all these people to watch. So I crossed one street. That made a difference. And I'm very, still really tired. Yeah. So I just crossed another street so i just did a full square of crossing the street that was back to where i started and

then i ran home did you so i finished up like 1.4 so how'd you get something to build because you were already kind of coming back at the 0.9 yeah i was on my way home okay hey it was rough though no that's respectful that you got out there brick by brick baby that's right i'm gonna build this cardio house come on man uh you said uber earlier and that reminded me uh i was at i performed the music at a funeral last week that james dobson was the speaker of the eulogy like he was good friends james dobson, the president of the family. Yeah. Avengers and Odyssey, you know? Um, and he's an old guy. He's 80 years old. I think that's definitively old. And, uh, he gave the eulogy and he had like security detail. Like he had all these, like he was a big deal apparently. Um, but then he said something that made me think, I don't know

if you do have security detail, James Dobson. He, in his eulogy, I don't remember even what he was talking about, but he said, yeah. And on the way over here, you know, he's talking about like sharing the gospel at all times. He's like, on the way over here, we took a Uber and the Uber driver was, you know, he kept saying Uber over and over and over again. So that made you question whether or not he was worthy of having security? No, it made me question, okay, what is this security detail just in the back of the Uber with him? Oh, like, cause he would have had a private vehicle. Right.

That was what I was thinking. So he's like trying to relate by saying I took an Uber. I don't know. But he doesn't know what it is. Yeah. He then proceeded to tell us that his Uber driver drove for Uber to like minister and like disciple the people and like evangelize to them. But it sounds like a, like a really like out of touch, like guy trying to be a

standup comedian. Like, so what's the deal with the Ubers, huh? Those things suck. You never know what they're going to say. Uber annoying. Uh, but anyway, at the end of the, uh, service, the pastor, our pastor from our church, who's a funny guy, was like, FYI, the reception has been canceled or been post, not postponed, relocated because of this water issue at this one country club. So it's at this other country club. You can look up the directions in your phone, or if you don't understand how to get there, just take a Uber. And people at this funeral just like busted up laughing.'s amazing it was like i mean it was pretty great but i love the confidence to go for it in that sense and the confidence to like

make fun of like a very influential like christian leader in our history of america like anyway james dobson with the uber so call it a uber um he's gonna get there next time guys so i was doing uh landry the other day what's the deal with that huh i had to put it in two different machines it's like come on yeah it just doesn't know what anything's called like a rest of development where she's like how much or she's like here take 20 go buy a candy bar how much do you think things cost do you know what i'm talking about the mom or she thinks like a... Yeah. I think so.

I think that, yeah, there's a scene like that in Parks and Rec as well. On Uber, when I was in Oklahoma a couple weeks ago, a guy, have you ever had this guy try to get my car, thought I was an Uber? No. Kind of a fun slash scary scenario. That is a thing that would be scary. I just stopped at a stoplight, not really paying attention. I mean, not paying attention. Like, it wasn't even like i was on my phone just looking ahead not not checking my five

o'clock necessarily yeah and that is here my car door like trying to be open and then he locks in my window i didn't actually freak out too bad i was just like turned around i was like oh i think i know what's going on i would crack that window very minimally i rolled down the window and i was like who are you looking for and he he's like, Toyota Camry? I was like, yeah, that's my car. That's it. And yeah, he's like, oh, oh, you're sorry. You're not my Uber.

Sorry. It's different. Same car, though. That's crazy. That's a funny slash illegal prank that you could like pull up with somebody is like, hey, man, like the consequence, like, hey like hey if you lose this bet you have to go pretend like you are trying to get in somebody's car as an uber and then see if they can take you somewhere like see how far you can get yeah it's like a competition like we oh sorry i thought you were well do you mind just it's only a couple

miles i have it's like 0.9 miles it It's like, I just got to get home. But yeah, that's a fun game. Yeah. You have $10 and like three chances to see how far away you can get by just getting in someone's car. I think it'd be kind of fun. Like bigger and better for Ubers. Yeah. For transportation.

Yeah. For life. There was an old Vine. It might've been Logan Paul. I don't know who it was. There was an old Vine that I always really liked where he just hops in the front seat of some guy's car. And this old man, you know, just, whoa, whoa, whoa. He's like, oh, come on.

Don't do this to me, Dad. And just the delivery was funny. And this old man's reaction was funny. There's not much. It's not easy to explain Vines. They're six seconds long. That's okay. No, that sounds funny.

It sounds decent. I was on hold this week with AAA because I was trying to renew my membership. And I didn't know you were a member. Why haven't you told me that? My grandma, she'll be 90 in April. So she's old and lives at Tallgrass. She gives me a AAA membership every year for Christmas. Oh, cool.

Every year I use it at least once. That is cool. Yeah. So if you ever have a flat tire, call me. Seriously? Yeah, for real. Then what happens? I say I'm Brad or you say I call AAA and they'll, they'll come. They'll, yeah, they'll come fix it for you. So they're on call for you, for anyone you could potentially want to help out. They technically, they, they technically I'm supposed to be there, but never have I ever been asked like to show my identification or anything. So had to call sorry i'll let you finish but uh i had to call triple a one time so just for

everyone out there they do not pick up limos in montana okay they don't i don't care if you're a card carrying wyoming they do i'm not montana probably big country they they draw the line yeah that's probably where they stopped doing that but what anyway oh it just broke it broke down really really bad really bad like we had a bunch of issues all summer but montana is where we actually that was the first place we ever got stuck that's not a good place to get stuck or we spent like three days in a o'reilly auto parts parking lot in montana yeah which is not a bad place to be stuck no it's also i mean where we had the tow truck eventually take us just like just take us to o'reilly rallies and figure it out yeah we went through like four

different alternators uh all these issues multi multiple batteries what an experience dude but yeah they don't uh tow limos even if you have triple a that yeah gotcha well i was just thinking montana is just there's not that many big cities so you got to get lucky or else you're in the middle of nowhere. We were in Bozeman, which is nice. Oh, you were. And we were there long enough to get on the news because they're like, what's, this is new. Okay. Yeah.

Is there, by the time we've been on the news, like five or six times. So we were starting to like not care as much. Yeah. And so we had just went, we went thrift shopping in Yellowstone because it was very cold. And so we were in these ridiculous costumes that we hadn't seen. We hadn't shown anyone yet. Like we hadn't put it on an episode. And so our coming out party with these like costumes was on the news in

Bozeman. Kyle had Ed Hardy jeans on. And so, yeah, I don't need to rehearse the entire interview, but it was just so funny. Just like, yo,

what up? My name's Kyle. And there's just not how he talks at all at all yo ellen i know you watch bozeman local news so i email me back you know and the lady's like whoa there's some fancy pants you have on there he's like yeah this is real gold i'm practically made of money you know this limo thing's just for fun it was a great interview and they loved it like they aired all of that that the craziest thing about that trip is that you were the normal one out of the three of them. Oh yeah. And I was like barely even on camera. Yeah.

For 30, 37 episodes. Yeah. You barely see me. They were so awesome. So funny. Okay. Sorry. You were on hold.

No, it's fine. It's a very mundane thing, but you know how sometimes you can like say, uh, you, you know, you're, we're, you're waiting to hear back from customer service. Do you want to leave your phone number and we'll call you back? Oh yeah. I never trust that. Oh my gosh. That's the opposite of my take. Oh, my take was, why doesn't everyone offer that service? Really? Does it work? Every time I've done it, it does. Cool. Southwest. I know Southwest airlines has it, but yeah, it's awesome. Cause if not, like, I was just listening to this 30-second long Muzak thing go and then be like, you're... What word?

Muzak. Like, just like... Like Trinidadian music? Is that how you're pronouncing it? Oh, Muzak. Isaac listening to Muzak. Okay. Bach.

Beethoven. Tchaikovsky. Muzak. They all play Muzak. I don't even know how to describe what it is, but it's just like bad, cheesy music. Oh, okay. I've never heard that word. Like kind of like elevator music and stuff like that. Okay, gotcha.

Anyway, so you have to list the 30 second long loops of this and then they say, you're still on hold. It's like, I know I'm still on hold. You don't have to list a 30 second long loops of this. And then they say, you're still on hold. And it's like, I know I'm still on hold. You don't have to tell me this. I just don't understand why they don't offer this other service, but maybe it's because of people like you that don't trust it. For some reason. I haven't had a bad experience, but I'm like, I don't want, I'm on the phone with them now.

I don't want to get off the phone with them. Okay. Cause then I'll probably just forget about it. I don't know. Okay. Well, that's a bad take by me. No, I'm sorry. Maybe, maybe, Hey, hey we're it seems like

we're um you know at an impasse here so we need some help from you guys so if you don't mind going to podcast app you know what to do do it dude speaking of music i think i told you the story off the podcast uh because it happened a couple months ago but i feel like telling everyone now i don't know why i didn't tell people at the time there was a woman who messaged me on facebook off the podcast uh because it happened a couple months ago but i feel like telling everyone now i don't know why i didn't tell people at the time there was a woman who messaged me on facebook very sweet woman in fact i think she might have been a podcast listener so sorry i do if you're still listening i you're very nice you're very sweet one very nice you are very nice she messages me and has a bunch of nice things to say about me, like about my character and

who I am. And like, Jake and I know that you're single and I want to set you up with someone. So initially I'm thinking, okay, you know, you're a stranger. So this is probably not going to work out, but this is really cool. And it's fun that people feel like they get to know us from the podcast. I'm like, oh, you're out. Keep reading. Yeah.

She showed me her track record a little bit. I've set up my brother-in-law and my sister that are still married. I set them up. I set these people and these people that are still married. I'm like, okay, we're not dealing with some amateur here. Yeah, we got Cupid over here. Yeah, this isn't Muzak. This is a symphony.

Yeah. You know, that's what's going on. She says, get this. Do you know the story? Do you remember what it's like? Yeah, I remember. I don't remember. Yeah, go ahead. She says, and I'm not kidding. This is a real message. She says,

I want to set you up with Lauren Daigle. For those of you who don't know, Lauren Daigle is a Christian music artist who won a Grammy, who is like, had a couple songs, maybe an entire album go platinum, like performed at the national championship, uh, Monday. Oh, did she really? Yeah. Or before it or something. Yeah. I mean mean she's a very big deal like outside of the christian circles like has some huge songs i really enjoy her music and she's come on the scene like she's she's big as big as it gets really in that realm i want to say it with lauren daigle and all of a sudden i got real excited uh heart rate, it felt like I just ran 0.9 miles. I'm like, oh my gosh.

And I'm like, this girl's going to sit there with Lauren Daigle. I have a shot with Lauren Daigle. Look up, child. You say I could be with Lauren Daigle? You say I am yours. Forever we are wed. We are going to live the rest of our life together wow with me and you so that's what was going through my head at the time like lauren dago parodies that on our wedding

day and then the next sentence is now i have no real connection to Lauren herself, but I just think that it would, you guys would be really good together. And I said, oh, wow. Uh, actually don't really remember what I said, but I just, yeah, I love the boldness. Oh, just you think someone that excited and setting them up thinking they're, you're going to set them up with someone, you know, personally. Yeah. Hey, Brad, you're a good guy.

You know who you should date? Eva Mendes. You guys, I want to set you guys up. Seriously, let me set you guys up. Seriously. I know you're a good guy. She seems like a good girl. Like, I want to set you guys up.

You remind me of Albert Brenneman and Hitch just wasn't quite good enough for her. Yeah. And I think, yeah. Now, I don't know her and I've never talked, I don't know her and I've never talked. I don't really know anything about her. To be honest, I think she might not even speak English.

She's definitely married. She was married at one point. I don't even know if she's in a relationship, but seriously, seriously consider it. Pray about it. Yeah, this woman was basically just wanting me to consider it. And so I said, I was very nice. I was like, I'm honored that you think I'm worthy enough to date Lauren Daigle. If you ever do end up meeting her, let me know or something like that.

So that's a fun trend. Let's start doing that to random celebrities that we know are single. Just be like, hey, FYI, I was watching this episode of Friends the other day. And Jennifer Aniston is just so gosh darn cute. I just think you guys should really go for it. Or DMing Jennifer Aniston. Yeah, sure. Hey, do you know my friend Brian? I'm sure you probably don't, but look him up. Brian, Brian Hefferman. Look at, look, here's his Instagram. I just think you could be great as Jennifer Hefferman.

Yeah. So it just seemed like time to bring that up on the podcast that I almost got soap with Lauren Daigle. It's really exciting. They're so close. Yeah, I was really excited. The only missing piece was the fact that she has no connection to her and no even like hint of a reason of how this could work. But anyway, we've got some voice memos this week. Should we get into those you think yes absolutely

we should okay the ghost runners know how to podcast the ghost runners know how to podcast in jake's new house is where they record it the Runners know how to podcast. What up, guys? It's your boy, Stobie, a.k.a. the first ever Ghost Runners sponsor. Hope you all are doing great and have a happy new year. Stobes, the Stobinator. Stobie. Let's go smoke a Stobie after our national championship win.

Stobie, what was that? I don't know this guy. That's digital resource though, isn't it? Yeah, that's our boy. Hooked us up with our first ever ad here. Five episodes. Stobie. You want five more?

We'll feature your jingle for five weeks. Stobie, you want five more? We'll feature your your jingle for five weeks. Yeah, we'll start every episode with that. I wonder Stobie if you heard more than 10 seconds of that song

because it feels like you didn't actually sing it very well. You sang one part really well that you just kind of didn't really sing the tune the same.

Hey, it's OK. We're going to leave it in though. We're going to leave it in. That was great. What else do you want us to say? Stopes? Oh, Hey,

Stobie single. Oh, Oh my gosh. We got to, we got to set him up. I know the perfect person. Who? Oh my God.

I'll say it when you say it. Okay. Cause I think I'm thinking of the same one. One, two, three. Terry. Yes. She's desperate. She, two, three. Terry Hatcher. Yes.

She's desperate. She's a housewife. She's domestic. And Stobie could use it. I will message her and get her contact info. And then Stobie, I will pass that along to you. Hi, Jake and Brad. I recently started listening to your podcast and I live in Wyoming.

My name is Hattie, just like Brad's daughter's name and that brings me to my question which is do you like your own name? I think it's so cute when Brad talks about his Hattie. I think it's such a cute name but for some reason I don't like it for myself and I've talked to a lot of my friends who think the same way they like their name itself but they don't really like it because it's their name so I was wondering if you guys like your own name and if you can think of like a really cool name that you would want to change it to, if you could. Thanks.

Bye. That's hilarious. That is funny. I've never thought about how much I enjoy my own name. And it's funny that she likes the same exact sound with other people, but not herself. Like that's a really cute name for her. Like that just really fits her. Gosh, I hate my name.

But not for me. That doesn't fit me. That's so bad. Maybe, Hattie, here's what. Yeah, Hattie's a dope name like saying it out loud is fun you know what whenever we took like a birthing class uh you did yes katherine and i did how to hold her hand pretty much who knows like i guess it wasn't birthday it was like new parents like we learned how to do a diaper and all this other stuff okay so not

just the literal sorry you're not birthing i don't know what they called it. You go to a Lamaze class with Catherine and you're just sitting there holding her hand. Yeah. And I remember like we had, what? I'm just thinking about, it's all women. It's like a, you know, an entire yoga studio of women. And you're just kind of kneeling down next to Catherine, you know, just holding her hand. Yes, babe. Yes, babe.

Breathe. Yes, yes, yes. You're doing great on that yoga ball. You're sweating just as much as everyone else. Anyway, I'm glad that you think it's dope because I remember we had like these notepads that we're supposed to take notes while they lectured us. And of course I was diligently taking notes and Catherine just like shoved her notes over to me and it said, Hattie Louise Ellis. And I, we had not talked about that name yet. And I just looked at her and just was like, no.

She slid the note. She slid it. Was she a mobster? Hattie Louise Ellis. And then yes, no. And I had to circle one. No, I'm just kidding. Is she working for Giovanni?

Is this how she knows those things? It was folded very specifically, tri-fold. No. And I just remember at the time thinking like, no, I don't think that's a good name. And now, of course, it's like, that's the perfect name for her. So I'm glad that you like it.

Yeah, Hattie, here's what you need to do. I think what's going to help is if Brad and I right now, like kind of rebrand it for you. That's what you need. You need like a PR makeover. I just think you never go a day without having something on top of your head. And therefore people won't know if that's your name

or if that's just- Like a fun nickname. Who is that? Oh, that's the Hattie girl. Hattie girl oh because i'm very hattie today yeah you look hattie hey hattie and it's like you call me how do you guess my name or because i have the stocking cap on top of my head yeah i think you try getting really angry with your friends and they start calling you mad hattie oh sure next thing know, now you're getting all these cool parallels to Alice in Wonderland, mad Hatter.

Yeah, or you just learn how to become the next Criss Angel, David Blaine kind of thing. And, you know, they're like, whoa, how'd you do that? Can't tell you. It's called a hat trick. Nice. Yeah. So, I mean, be very excited about that.

Wait, hold on. What? I can't tell you. It's called a hat trick. That's what the magicians say. Oh, I can't tell you what this is called. That's what David Blaine does. It's called a hat trick.

It's a Blaine trick. It's a hat trick. No, I can't tell you how I did it. Yeah, I think they would say, you know. How'd you cut that person in half? Can't tell you. Magician never tells. Hat trick.

A magician never reveals his hat tricks. That's what it is. That's funny. Wait, what else did she ask us? There are a few. She asked us if we liked our own names. Oh, yeah. I like my name fine, but I definitely can acknowledge that it is one of the most white

person names you can ever think of. Like how many black people do you know that name Brad? Brad Smith for Mizzou quarterback back in the day, but that's about it. He's the only one I think. Yeah. person names you can ever think of like how many black people do you know that name brad brad smith for mizzou quarterback back in the day but that's about it he's the only one i think yeah my name is uh not necessarily super white but it's it is a little adolescent i've wondered if i'll if i'm ever gonna make the switch to jacob you know i don't think i am not until you get unadolescented when does that happen is that something that i don't know your wife does for you uh i think when you know you know okay i'm gonna call you if i ever think it happens hey bro brad this guy's a shower i think i unadolescented

oh okay uh what else did she ask i don't remember everything else but i think it was if you could choose something about oh you choose your own name oh yeah i got it big vanilla oh mine would be xerxes xerxes big vanilla is good too yeah vanilla pudding what about that or just nillapud nillapud yeah hey hey what up it's me nillapud nillapud night at tallgrass baby hey guys it's cole claiborne from Bowling Green, Kentucky. This question is mostly for Brad, but Jake, you can answer as it pertains to you. But since you don't even brush your teeth twice a day, I don't know if this will actually pertain to you as much. But Brad, I want to know, have you ever accidentally used Catherine's toothbrush?

And how did you handle that whenever you realized that you were using her toothbrush? I've probably used my wife's toothbrush accidentally three or four times. And every time it's always awkward. And I don't know how to explain it to her that I messed up. But I just want to know, Brad, if you have ever done that and how you handled it with Catherine. Thanks, Cole. Cole's a great guy, another sponsor of the show. So we're just getting sponsors left and right here. Um, the answer, uh, this is one of those ones that I'm like, Oh, great. You asked this question. I'm going to get judged by people. Um, the answer is I have, I don't know if I've ever

accidentally used Catherine's toothbrush. However, I've definitely intentionally used Catherine's toothbrush because I forgot my own. There it is. And I have no shame about it. And Catherine thinks it's disgusting. Good for you, dude. I'm on your side. Yeah, I'm like, okay, it's weird.

Like if you brushed your teeth with my toothbrush, that would be uncomfortable. We don't share a lot of germs. But I kiss my wife every day, multiple times, like three, three four five times an hour no um just just laying ones on her left and right like pilot pete oh man you're flying around yeah so visiting 20 different airports in one night so like we go on a you know weekend trip or something and i forget my toothbrush and i'm either like am i going to use my finger and just you know brush with that celery stick or celery stick sometimes I remember to bring my celery sticks but I forget to bring my toothbrush or you know hey this is your refrigerator I have string cheese that I could just borrow you better go catch it um oh different

question yes um do you know what I'm saying? Frigerator running? Yeah, classic. That's a hat trick. That's a Jacob trick. You want to know what it's called? I can't say. Can't say. It's a hat trick. I like it because I'm always the one screwing up, and you finally screwed up, and we can laugh about it. I screw up all the time, don't I? I feel like I don't catch it until maybe afterwards.

Like you said something wrong. I think it's always me like saying the wrong thing or using a word wrong. So it's nice to be on the other end of it for once. This is great. So anyway, I, I absolutely have used it. And she, she's just like, what are you, she's like, why, why is my toothbrush already wet? And I'll be like, I just own it every time. It was like, it was in my mouth. I brushed my teeth. I forgot my toothbrush. I just brushed it with yours. She's like, what? She's like, okay, I guess I'll go get another one tomorrow.

It's like, come here, give me a kiss before I brush my teeth with it. Yeah, I think that's a very polarizing thing in marriages though. Like I think, and I bet it's almost one in one for every marriage. Like there's one who's pro germ, one who's anti germ. Um, and I'm, I'm a pretty like germ, uh, reluctant. That's not the right word, but you know, I'm germluctant, you know, but with that, when it's, when it's your

spouse, it just doesn't seem gross to me. That's, that's when he was leaving the voicemail. That's what I was thinking. I was like, this doesn't seem like it would. If there was one person in the world I want to share a toothbrush with, it's someone I've shared a lot of other liquids with? Too far? No. Okay. Okay. We share water all the time.

Yeah. Okay. That's what I was thinking. Yeah. That's fine. Grant, I'm not married, but those are my thoughts. What else did you have to say? Is that what you were going to say?

That was it. Just that I think, yeah, but those are my thoughts. What else did you have to say? Is that what you were going to say? That was it. Just that I think, yeah, germs are germs. Yes. Germs are germs and your mouth gets, it does get germy. So I would definitely recommend brushing your teeth at a disciplined time every day, at least twice a day. What about this? Sharing.

Okay. This, this is a question for Catherine, who's not here, but you, I want you to answer on her behalf. Catherine, would you rather share a toothbrush with Brad or someone who we scientifically know has a cleaner mouth? I'm talking a dog. Oh really? That's a thing? Yeah, dog.

Yeah, but you know, I think everyone knows that. They have cleaner mouths than we do. Even when they look through her throw up. No, no. How? How is that? I mean, I don't know how. I believe that it's scientifically proven.

It's a well-known thing. They got clean mouths. They got under that little boop that needs snooted, they got some clean mouthers. Oh, really? I can't believe you didn't know this. No. Okay, forget it.

Sorry, Catherine. Sorry I bothered you with that. She would choose me, I think. That's good. That's gross. I don't know. It depends on how we're defining clean, but I feel like dogs' breaths are so bad all the time. Yeah. I don't know what the metric for cleanliness is.

So that just makes it grosser to me. Like even if I give dogs some gum and then maybe it's less gross, but, um, yeah, it feels wrong. Okay. Hi guys. My name is Erin and I'm from Dallas. First, I wanted to see if y'all have heard of the new pop-up bar here that's transforming into a tribute of the office called Dunder Whiplin.

If not, definitely look it up. I feel like y'all will get a big kick out of it. If you have, what are your thoughts? Second, Jake, would you ever consider doing a how-to video on your film and edit work? Love your videos and would love to learn some tips and tricks and some do's and don'ts. Thanks. I don't get the pun. Do you? What's Dunder Whiplin? Maybe it's something about alcohol that we don't know. Like you whip, you, I don't know. I don't either. I don't.

Are we losers? Dang it. God, I feel so outside of the loop. Why is it Whiplin? Dunder Whiplin. And I bet this is frustrating because I bet there are people out there who get it. And they're like, I just want to tell them so bad right now. It's because Dallas is a big Indiana Jones place. And so they're also- Always had a whip. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I don't know why it so bad right now. It's because Dallas is a big Indiana Jones place. And so they're also always had a way. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I don't know why it's called that, but that's cool.

An office bar. And that's one of your favorite cities, Brad. So next time you're there, you'll have to stop by. I can't wait to go to Dallas and check it out and pay $15 for a drink. And another $15 to park where you parked for the hour. That would be cool. To go in reverse and not know how to do it. That's cool. That's cool for a fact.

I'm like, sorry, what was her name? I already forgot her name. Catherine, Caitlin. Hold it right there. Oh. It's me, Tony. Hi guys, my name is Aaron and I'm- Aaron.

I was gonna say Emily. Okay, I was close. Aaron Hannon, probably. Aaron, I've made videos before. One time when I was tubing, we did a brand deal with Skillshare. And so I made videos that are on Skillshare. But you'd have to pay for that. Honestly, we could just set up a phone call.

That would be easier than me making a video. Smooth. Yeah. Well, no, no. Honestly, hey, just give me your number. No, I do that all the time. We can, hey, we can use Google Chat. We don't have to exchange anything.

No germs, no toothbrushes, no phone numbers. We can do video if you want. We can just use, no, I do that all the time. People reach out asking for advice. I'm like, just call me, you know? So here's one thing, Aaron, this comes with one stipulation. Sitting up in my chair for this. Here we go. Over the years, mainly just the last two,

there have been a wide number of people who come to be asking, and your question is different because it's videography and that's more like whatever. A lot of people will come and ask me for very specific YouTube advice. Hey, I want to grow my YouTube channel. Hey, I want to grow my Instagram. Hey, I want to do this with my life that I've seen you do. And for free, I give them very valuable, very specific information on like growth strategies I used on YouTube, things that I do on Instagram,

like things they, if they have the goals that they really say they do, this is exactly what they should be doing. I've taken so many coffees with people, Skype meetings, phone calls, and no one has ever done what I tell them to do. And it's starting to build up where I'm getting frustrated now. Right, I'm such a nice guy. I tell everyone yes to anyone who ever wants to know anything.

And now that I've realized that like, wait, there's probably nine different people over the years that I've spent hours with and none of them ever have the discipline or the confidence in me maybe to like do what I tell them to. So Aaron, if you're, if we have this phone call and you want YouTube advice, you got to take it because I know what I'm doing. Because it's really good. There's no way it's not good. Seriously. Well, that'd be one thing if the people that I had given advice to like tried it and it

didn't work, but I haven't seen anyone try what I've told them to do. Really? You know, this could, I don't know. It's not, I almost said burnt out. They get lazy is what it is. They just don't have the whatever. I wonder if there is like a common trait of people who want to do YouTube that like their personality is not necessarily one that's like super disciplined,

super motivated in the detail, administrative, whatever you want to call it, aspect. Like they might have the personality for YouTube, but not necessarily the organization or just the, yeah, the discipline to upload once a week even. Yeah. It's hard to do that. Like, oh, I don't want to edit this. I don't want to, like, this is a good idea I have, but I don't want to take the time to do all the stuff that is not glorious. And you know, like all the stuff behind the scenes, that's no fun. We were, we were just moving our rug around in the podcast studio. Jake and I were, we have like this carpeted rug and like, I mean, it's, it's not, it's not anything glorious right

now, but I just said to him, it reminded me of when we both worked as programs directors at our camps in the summer, because everyone saw us like lead these really fun parties and be like these funny skit guys. And like, they show up at 8 PM and they get a show, but they don't see the two hours before that. I'm like, the speakers are not working and they're coming in 30 minutes. What are we going to do? Oh, the stage has a hole in it. Why does the stage have a hole in it right now? Yeah. Everything that goes into like getting it ready. So as we're like dragging this like nasty, like stained rug all over this. You cut with a box cutter yesterday. It doesn't fit. Yeah. There's primer on the walls. Like my hands have been about 40 degrees since we've been down here. The extremities are

losing feeling. Anyway, it's just funny because I think there's just like this. This finished product, like aura, this glow around the finished product. Right. It's hard to see that. It's hard to see the behind the scenes. So Aaron, what I'm saying is not targeted to you. You just wanted videography advice.

So sorry, I just took that rant with it. I'm still very happy to give you advice on making videos because that's still a big thing of what I do. Yeah. Office theme bar too. Would love to check it out or start our own Yeah. Office theme bar too. Would love to check it out or start our own here. Office downstairs. Hannah Smoltridge bar. That's what they should have called it. Oh, that is like next level. That's a deep track. Yes. Like I don't think only like only big, you know, office fans, you know, like ghost runners on second probably

caught that. Yes. Maybe no one else. Just my my my cousin who is pretty into the office i guess his favorite line in all of the office i don't know why it's so good to him but he loves the line where michael goes hey jan hannah brought in her baby that's hilarious yes it's not really a punchline i feel like no it's just like a random line that he says but he just loves the way that michael delivers it i guess i don't know huh but he's like oh dude that is like the funniest lie to me that's funny so good for him hannah brought in her baby in her baby that's rich bar yeah that's fire idea should we do some quick blanks of the week i know we haven't talked about it yet but we'll fire from the hip baby sure bud uh, bud. Sorry. Sure, dude.

Oh, there. No, here. Poultry. Okay. I thought it would. Okay. I have two Brad-based poultries right now. No, no. One is you. All right. Let me think of one for you then. Okay. That's fair. Go ahead. No, go ahead. No, they're lighthearted. One is you call me names in text that I've never heard you call me in real life. Like you call me JT or bra or bra when we're texting all the time. I'm like, where's this coming from? I've called you JT. Maybe JT. Yeah, yeah.

But that would get started on quite a bit when we're in group text. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Glad you caught that one, JT. Why are you turning into this? I call you Jakey a lot. Yeah. I call you Jakey sometimes.

What were we talking about the other day? And you said bra with like eight H's. I was like, who are you? Oh, I was getting, that was when I was getting frustrated with you because I felt like I was right about something and you were not listening to me. Marshawn Lynch. Yeah. The chicken thing.

Anyway. The other thing, how come uh, the other thing, how come you, I noticed you never like our posts on Instagram, the ghost starters posts. How come we don't like them? Oh gosh. Why don't you don't like what we made?

To be honest. I know. I, of course I do. Okay. I'm sorry. I will do a better job with that. Okay.

Um, I don't have a great excuse. I think part of it is it's honestly like really hard for me to have more than one Instagram account. Oh, you poor thing. No thing no it's just it's just not like i guess i shouldn't say really hard but it's like i know like like i've multiple times i've uh accidentally posted like a story for a split second on the instagram account or something nice so i don't know if i'm liking something like what if i liked my like the own ghost runners post on ghost oh we would get canceled oh i know the the pitchforks can you imagine yeah algorithms would just go out the

window or that too yeah i was just our fans they would not stand for that listen if you're gonna make fun of me for accidentally liking my own post you should also understand the gravity is not that heavy for me liking a post or not no i, I know. I make, it's like a lot of influencers I know like their own post because they think it helps the algorithm. Like this is so dumb that you need to endorse your, of course you endorse it. You've made it. You should. I don't like anything of my own unless it's under a different name. That's funny. And of course. Yeah, I guess I don't. I, but, but I remember like, at least when I first started out with my LS Custom Creations Facebook account, I would always get frustrated if Catherine was like, oh yeah, I saw that really

nice picture that you posted. I was like, oh, you did? Because you didn't say you didn't like it. But then she's literally like telling me on the spot, like. I like it. Yeah. I'm telling you now. Have you heard Nate Bargatze's bit?

Yes. He says the same thing. Like, no, I'm telling you right now. I like it. Like in telling you now have you heard nate bargati's bit yes he says the same thing like no i'm telling you right now i like it like in person is that not enough he's like do you remember when i married you like was that not enough yeah i anyway but i was just like no it just helps i think if if you like it then maybe other people will get it in their timeline or whatever so i i apologize for being a hypocrite about that jake it's okay it wasn't really uh keeping me up late at night just wanted to ask you about it both those things so um thanks brah listen you got first of all it was it was clearly a sarcastic brah it was it wasn't like and it was

it was more like it was not it was not a brah it was a i think i said something like watch the video brah i think is what I was trying to say. Which doesn't necessarily like clear it up for me. Oh, that's what you meant. Oh, well, in that case, brah. Brah. Kind of like a Tim Allen, like, brah. Ba-dum-bum, ba-dum-bum, ba-dum-bum, ba-dum-bum, ba-dum-bum, ba-dum-bum, ba-dum-bum, ba-dum-bum, ba-dum-bum, ba-dum-bum, ba-dum-bum, ba-dum-bum, brah. was that worth it or what let me tell you what a journey oh boy uh if you have poetry go for it if

not i know i kind of sprung that on both of us i do okay um we're at like an hour and a half right now they're weak they're weak but But my body not sleeping at night. Oh, no. I have a hard time falling asleep at night. You need that. That's when you grow. I yeah. Like Caitlin did for many years.

Oh, yeah. Horizontally. Hey, whoa. Hey, Caitlin, you must be sleeping a lot, girl. Don't back it up. Yeah. We think Caitlin's been sleeping quite a bit. We just need to make sure she doesn't keep sleeping too much.

Oh, man. Just come after all the triplets and the lisks out there. Nice. Rest in peace. My body, I have a hard time. I have a hard time? I have a hard time, brother. I have the hard time.

Okay, brother. I'm sorry. I've got a new roommate. I have the hard time, okay, brother? I love such dick. I've got a new roommate. Definitely upstairs. Who is upstairs. We've just been basically yelling for an hour and a half. I hope this is okay.

He's the sweetest, nicest guy. Oh, yeah. He's great. But he's also very responsible and more mature than us. Like last night, he was cooking dinner with his Instant Pot. We don't know how to do that. Yeah. He broiled something for breakfast. Wait, so how quickly can he grow weed?

Like, no, that's not what it is. No, no, no. Oh, okay. That's different. It's not even allowed here. Okay. Sorry. That's chia pet.

You'll have a hot time. This is so not a good poultry. It's poultry with myself and my body. I can't fall asleep at night, but then in the morning I'm really tired because it's really frustrating to me. Like if I'm so tired, then why am I not falling asleep when I'm supposed to be asleep? But I want to sleep later on. Two theories. One, circadian rhythm out of whack. Okay. How do you get it in whack? Don't Google it. Don't Google it. Get it back in whack. But I don't know. Second thing, could be people are, I think there's a lot of science to show

that your cell phone keeps your brain activity going and then it's harder to wind down. Okay. So it could be. I've never had an issue with that because I'm usually pretty sleep deprived and I just kind of fall asleep instantly. But someone who's more responsible with their sleep.

I'm trying to be. Yeah, like it could be. And it's really frustrating because it's like, well, I tried to go to sleep last night at 10 30 and didn't fall asleep till midnight. And then I woke up at six. You should try reading, like read for 30 minutes. Yeah. Before you go to bed.

Oh, that reminds me of a story. Okay. About books with you earlier this week. I'm so excited. I don't know what this is. Excited and nervous. You'll remember quick. Don't be nervous. We, you were talking about going on tour, going on tour soon. You can give a little plug for that nervous. Um, we, you were talking about going

on tour, going on tour soon. You can give a little plug for your talk. Do you want to give a quick plug for you going on tour? No, it's fine. I mean, but not yet. Trey's announcing it this week. So you guys will see it, but yeah, Trey and I are going on tour, probably coming to your city. Yes. So you were talking about things to bring with you. You're like, yeah, it's going to be so much time on the road. So much time on the road. I just don't know what to do. And Catherine goes, well, you should bring a book. And the way you reacted was like, it was like the most revolutionary idea. You're like a book. That's a great idea. Catherine, how do you think of these things? Oh my God. That's amazing. And

it was like one of those things that like, you know, 30 years ago, there would be no question that you're going on a long trip. Of course you have a book. That's the only thing you have to pass the time. Right. Is that book? Yeah. It's the only entertainment possible. And it was not even an option for me. And it was like, yeah, it was just like, oh my gosh, a book. And then it reminded me of the time where, uh, we had a movie at our house, like a DVD. And you're like, oh, that's a great movie. Uh, Catherine's like, yeah, thanks. I rent it like a DVD. And you're like, oh, that's a great movie. Catherine's like, yeah, thanks. I ran it from the library.

And it was another one of those conversations that like 30 years ago, you would never be amazed by. But you were like, you ran it from the library? What? She's like, yeah, I just got it from the library. Just reserved it there. I went and picked it up. And you're like, well, how much did you pay for it?

How does, who's paying who? Catherine's like, no, no, it's from the library. It was free. And you were just like, oh my gosh. A DVD? What? DVD from? You can do that?

Who? It was just like one of those things that, yeah. Back in the day, no one would ever think twice. Oh yeah. I got that. I rented that book from the, you got a book for free? They just, they, they knowingly let you walk out of there with a book? Yeah.

And you took it in your van on a road trip? What? You bringing it back? Well, yeah, I bring it back. But if I don't have, you know, if I don't bring it back in time, I could just always renew it. What? How much does that cost? Nothing.

Just make sure no one else wants it. Oh, holy cow. For free? Yeah. All this? It was just like blowing your mind and it's just so funny to think about like i don't know someday someday we're gonna do the same thing with something else that like what how much how much did you pay for i don't know what what what else is gonna be like what's gonna become free or what's just gonna become obsolete what's gonna become like yeah

very surprising that you can do it. But it's like, that's like popular these days. Maybe just like cords in general. Like what is this? Oh, that connects the speaker to the microphone. Oh my gosh. What? Yeah. Look at this.

You can just charge your phone right from this wall. The wall, how, like concrete will charge my phone? So you don't, you just plug it in. You don't have to like put it on like a wireless charger. No, yeah. You just plug it in. And so my phone can be anywhere as long as it's plugged in. Yeah.

Anywhere I want. Well, can I take like an extension cord and plug it into that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Same amount of power. Maybe even more. What? Really? Into a what?

Oh my gosh. Let me go get my book and write this down. Let me get my e-journal and think out these thoughts that go down on this digital page. Oh, it's just funny. So. Yeah. Yeah. My mind was blown with both those things.

I read it in a book. In a book. There was another Blank of the Week that you mentioned, like right as soon as this episode started, like, oh, we'll talk about that later. Do you know what it was? Erasure Strong Opinion. No, that was before we started. And I said, I don't think I have one. There was something else.

Once we started recording. Dang it, everyone else. No, that was the only one I said. Really? Oh, no. I do remember it. Liar. Tell me.

It was before we started. So I'm a liar too. It was Catchphrase. Oh, sure. Catchphrase of the week. I said it as we started recording. And I loved it. I don It was catchphrase. Oh, sure. Catchphrase of the week. I said it as we started recording. I loved it. I don't know why Brad loved it so much, but we did a quick test. I'll play it now. Oh, you, oh, okay. Yo, yo, test the mic one, two. Yes, here we are.

In the basement. I never know that you have these clips. There's two weeks in a row that you've sprung clips that I didn't know you were actually recording on. Well, what do you think I'm doing when I say let's test the mics? But then I didn't think you kept rolling. Oh, I mean, just that's all I'm going to that's all I played just now was just us saying test. Oh, I didn't hear it. Yeah. And what day is it now? It's Monday. This is too much. The Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl? If the Chiefs are not going to the Super Bowl right now, I hope you know that Jake and I are so, so sad. Not going to be that funny to listen back. For the Chiefs fans listening to this,

like, oh, they were so stupid then on Thursday. They were so confident. They didn't know. They didn't know that Chris Jones wasn't going to play. Derek Henry ran for 400 yards. I've never seen anything like that before. Basically, I tested out the audio in this new makeshift room that Brad and Isaac built.

And I just said the phrase, which I don't think I've ever said before. I don't know. I think it was a miss. I misspoke, I guess. I just said, oh, that sounds crispy clean. I loved it. Brad just got the giggles. He liked it. I think it's because it's a simple, easy catchphrase that is obviously very similar to crispy cream, but just you could use it for the rest of life. Oh yeah. It's Krispy Kreme. And like crisp is kind of like an audio word. Like, oh, it sounds crisp. Yeah. Clean. I don't really know why I said that, but Krispy Kreme, I guess. Krispy Kreme. Oh, that's, oh, oh, I love that outfit. That is Krispy Kreme. Gosh. Hey, thanks for, thanks for tidying up,

you know, for the guests tonight. Like it really looks Krispy Kreme in here. And it's going to show, they're going to notice it too. Brad, what is your catchphrase of the week? My catchphrase of the week is I'm just teasing. I'm just teasing. I have one of my best friends from college, nicest guy, but it's just a goofball and just very, very genuinely says, I'm just teasing all the time. Oh, you know, like you're funny, man. I know I'm just teasing. Oh, I'm just teasing. I kind of jokingly started doing it. Maybe I've even mentioned on the podcast before, but kind of jokingly started doing it recently. And now it is not as much of a joke. Like I just have found myself in a habit of saying, I'm just teasing.

It's great. Like people kind of laugh at me about it. They're like, you're just teasing. I'm like, yeah, sorry. I don't know why I say that. But you said it to the guy at Lowe's yesterday. I did. We were, we were messed around because he was like, oh, that's going to't know why I say that. But you said it to the guy at Lowe's yesterday. I did. We were messed around because he was like,

oh, that's going to be a restocking fee for taking those back. And we're like, well, what if we stock them ourselves? Can we? How much do we get? Yeah. Do you got to pay us? They're like, oh, sure. I'm like, I'm just teasing.

Just teasing, Robert. I'm just teasing old Bob. I've been to Lowe's three days in a row. You watch your job, Brad. I'm coming after it. I've started. You grew a big beard, you know, the last couple of days from that, I think. Yeah. I've changed, man. I do. I do DIY projects now.

What do you think about that Lowe's and Home Depot and all that? Lowe's, you guys, is in my backyard. It is legitimately the closest business to my house. You could run there without getting tired. I bet I could. Yeah. Yeah. Like that first round of boxing. The heart wouldn't catch up to me yet. I like that kind of stuff. I mean, I don't feel super at home, but I don't feel super out of place either.

It's just really fun. Like when I started getting into that stuff, it was like, there are so many possibilities that could happen through this place. Like, like you could build a bathroom if you want. You could build a house if you want. You walk into Home Depot and you basically give like like a like a graduation speech like the world is ours the things that you guys are going to accomplish i can't even fathom yeah commencement speech i didn't i didn't even major in carpentry and yet here i am today talking to you so just pursue

your dreams you can do it yeah i. I am so just going to sit here and cry. Say it with me. Yeah. But yeah, the depot, the Lowe's, they've been good to me. I've been enjoying it. A rationally strong opinion. I really like Home Depot. Not a huge fan of Lowe's. Yeah. In my experience, the customer service is much better at the PO. That's good. That's an important thing. PO greater than low. So, yeah. Crispy clean, baby.

I'm just teasing. I'm just teasing. Oh, let me tell you something real quick. I don't know if you remember. I think it was two or three, four episodes ago when we talked about that squirrel that was in my yard. Oh, yeah. Dead squirrel. Dead squirrel. And you're like, just throw it into the street.

Yeah, just throw it somewhere. Which I thought was a very country thing of you to say, but at the same time, I was like- Thank you kindly. I was like, I think I'm gonna do that. And so the other day I decided I was gonna throw it in the street. I'm gonna throw this squirrel. So let me update on you. Let me update you guys on that.

I got a shovel from my shed, a shovel shed, and went to go pick it up and got kind of a short shovel because I thought that'll, that'll give me the best leverage. Yeah. Picked it up. And I just thought like, just mind over matter, just pick it up and just get it out of there and you'll be fine. I looked at it way too much. Do you make eye contact with it? I made eye contact with one of the eyes. You can't do that. Um, you notice how we never look at the animals before we eat them. You just, yeah. You don't want to make that connection. Like it weirdly felt really light in my shovel, but also I felt some like gravity to it.

I don't know how to describe that very well, but it was like this intangible, like, ooh, this thing feels dead, but it's also there for sure in my, in my shovel. Okay. And, and so I kind of got the yips and got it out, got into my shovel and just kind of tried to chuck it really fast. Cause I got really uncomfortable. I'm such a city boy. And you're like Michael, when they ask him, uh, about the one time he went hunting, he's like, uh, but yeah, why do you ask when he has to fire someone? Yeah. So I, I hooked it. it um and it did not get to the

street it got into my little ditch you know like how i have a like a little ditch in my backyard on both sides of the driveway yes so then i had to go down into the ditch and my you had to do a second slinging i had a second sling i did and i had people driving by that's a yeah busy street that are like yeah it is it's like like moderately busy. And they saw you second sling. And I was like, gosh, secondhand slinging. They're going to judge me for, yeah, not just single sling, but a secondhand sling. Yeah, that's tough. And I got it out there and I haven't honestly checked the last few days to see what has happened to the squirrel, but it was just an experience that I did not enjoy at all. That's a long time from when you told me

this squirrel was dead. Well, because it snowed. And they were like... You couldn't find him? No, I could find him. I just didn't want to dig through the snow. Oh, okay. Which maybe I should have. It could have, you know, been iced. Maybe you would have felt less gravity. Crispy clean. And I could have just... Crispy clean sling.

Nice. Yeah. We've got a lot of options of what we're going to call this episode. I like this. This this is gonna be fun okay uh lastly we should do review of the week which is gonna be tough um because we got a lot and just the quality was high i there was one we got today from kelsey in licking missouri did you know that that was a town no but i love i loved it because it was like the epitome of Missouri to me. Yeah.

First of all, there's a town called Licking, Missouri. Kind of like Flippin, Arkansas. Just so many jokes you can make. Oh, there's the Flippin school bus, you know. There's a gas Kansas and you should be like, oh, we just passed gas. I ream on. And she was nervous that she didn't rate it five stars,

but don't worry, Kelsey, you did five stars. So we appreciate it. You did. Although someone, which not that every four star review is an accident, but we got another four star review. And I'm pretty sure this one actually is an accident. It had to be because the title of it was in all caps,

awesome with like five exclamation points. Yeah. Hey, Jake and Brad, love your podcast. You guys are hilarious, entertaining. I'm almost caught up, all caps, loving it it so far i also listen to trey's podcast correct opinions she said i was wondering if you give me beep a shout out because me my sister races even get a shout out first don't think she's gonna be as direct as me though thanks so much keep up the good work um insert name let's say when that star gets bumped up a notch,

then you'll get your shout out. Okay, I'm going to check back next week. If that goes up to five stars, you'll get your shout out. But for now, we believe in conditional love, right?

At the Ghost Runners, for sure. Yes. We'll shout out your company if you pay us money for it. Yeah, of course. If you send us to the Super Bowl. Of course.

My favorite one by far was from Bethany Girl. And I'm going to be honest, it fooled me good for a good two sentences. This one was awesome. Yeah, read this one word for word. This podcast has saved our marriage. And first of all, let me say, I think I'm getting a little bit of a big head every once in a while because people do say really kind things about our podcast being like an uplifting,

like great thing for them. That's going to be my actual review of the week is one that's like a little more serious. Oh, really? There's one that says that, like people are like, I'm going through kind of a hard time or this is a tough thing.

And this podcast just is a, you know, like it's been helpful. A beacon of light. Yeah. Or something like that. And so I say this and I'm like, wow, we are really doing a good job. Why wouldn't we fix it?

We saved somebody's marriage. So I start reading it. It says, my husband and I love Jake and Brad's podcast. It might sound extreme that it has actually saved our marriage, but it's true. And I was like, wow, awesome. We went through a rough time when I was away at art school in New York and he stayed behind for his job. I was like, oh, okay, good for them. They're Northeast. We don't have very many of those people. We hit another rough patch again when he moved to Philadelphia to work on a startup company and I stayed in Scranton to work.

And that's when I was like, oh, they got me good. The podcast held us together and gave us something more to talk about other than our boring days. Everything we have, we owe to this podcast. The smart, wonderful, amazing, entertaining podcast. Thanks,. And I just, I, I love that. Obviously it's an office reference. It's so good. And it got me so like it, it fooled me, which maybe just shows my own arrogance towards this podcast and how successful I think we are becoming or something. I don't know. Maybe that's, that's too, that's too transparent, but no, I like that. Anyway, people like the honesty. I just, really, truly got fooled by this. Like I thought we had truly not.

When I read, I was like, OK, surely we're not the only thing that saved your marriage. But I think we're probably the majority of the things. So Bethany girl. Good job. That was funny. Yeah, it's another long one. But I'll read past because it is really good. From Lindsay with no D.

Lindsay. Interesting. Unique. Hey, guys. I travel quite a bit for work. Doctor's appointments all over the dang country. Go to see friends. Need to say I listen to a lot of podcasts, news radio, audible books.

You should hear about the podcast from Trace. I laugh a lot when I listen to you guys. And I like what I've... Well, I'm trying to like skip through and read. Just go, man. I laugh a lot when I listen to you guys. Oftentimes my car rides aren't the happiest of times for me, especially when I'm on one of my doctor's runs. I have cancer. All good though. So the fact that you guys keep me laughing, entertained is really great. You two also make me think a lot, which I as well so good job hey make them think that's yeah we're pensive potters yeah i'm meeting the road on friday so i'm

sure i'll be able to catch up completely while i'm on this run uh what actually inspired me right to review though was one of the opening openings to your podcast is when y'all did the scene from remember the titans it was so good i goosebumps. So that's so funny. What this podcast or that review was so cool and all over the place. And I'm glad that ultimately it was coach Boone that got you to say all those nice things. So out on the town last night. Oh man. Yes. So thank you. And sorry, one other review. I'm just not saying i forgot about the one who like randomly knows both of us do you see this one alissa c oh my gosh yeah yeah we haven't talked about this yes with microphones or not but but yeah she has random connections with both of us

uh she was kind of saying the same thing she she works with foster kids it's a really heavy job and so it's nice to have a lighthearted podcast. How do you say it? Dwayne Dunn, Dunn, Dunn. You say it. Lighthearted Potter. Lighthearted podcast to listen to. It feels like she has some new friends to hang out with. Okay, now I'm trying to skip through. She uses like things we say with her roommates. She said, when I told my siblings about it,

I discovered that my sister worked with Jake at Canuckuck. My sister-in-law knows Jake from Canuckuck as well. And my brother is often told by people that he reminds him of brad and he's also pretty possibly played basketball with jake once what is this this is awesome so do you think they actually know me never mind yeah i misread or or is it like they they listen well i don't know my brother is often told by people that he reminds them of brad oh wait yeah i read that wrong i think because her brother unless they're all like listening to the podcast and saying oh it's just like your brother

huh i don't know alissa c we need to follow up who are these people that know us i think it's elizic oh that's his full name uh-huh elizic elizic cool yeah yeah so thank you sorry you spent so much time on the reviews but that's our favorite way to get feedback. So we're going to take some time on it. Yeah, it is great. And also, sorry, this one was kind of a long one, but it was fun. I've been like 10, 11 days since we recorded plenty to talk about. Don't ever apologize for the length. I am. I can't say I'm sorry for apologizing. Can I say that? Yeah. OK. I'm sorry for apologizing earlier, guys. Yeah. Hopefully you'll hear from us soon though. If the Chiefs won yesterday or on Sunday, whenever you're listening to this.

Let's do some bold predictions and then see if we're right. And then this will be like retroactive. Like, okay, let's see. Okay. Bold prediction number one. Everyone's worried about Derrick Henry. Derrick Henry, 68 yards rushing this week. He's had three weeks in a row of over 100.

Over 200. Every week. I think one was like 180 or 190. Basically, like 200 yards rushing for three weeks in a row. 68 yards rushing. Wow. Because what's going to happen is the Chiefs are going to go up big early. And they're going to forego their game plan.

Yeah. That's my number one. Number two. Sorry, I'm hijacking this. It's okay. But I have an irrational love for one of the Chiefs players. His name is Samuel F. Watkins, and he's the wide receiver for the Chiefs that gets so overpaid and underperformed so much. We won't have him next season. Until this, this is going to be the Watkins game, baby.

Two touchdowns, 218 yards receiving, 44 yards rushing on a big end around. Okay. These predictions are bold and I like it. Yes. One of my bold predictions in the game last week almost came true for a little bit. We were down like 14 to nothing. And this is when all hope was lost. This is when I couldn't catch the toilet paper. And I was like, bold prediction, this is going to end up becoming one of the highest. This is going to end up becoming the highest scoring NFL playoff game of all time. Yes. And then when the Chiefs started discovering the toilet paper, I was like, oh my gosh,

this could happen. But anyway, that was in the past. And so is this prediction too, technically, I guess. My bold prediction is that LaShawn McCoy, who has had one snap last week. He probably has something wrong with him. No one really knows. No one will talk about it. He just doesn't play. And no one knows why.

They like healthy scratched him like at the end of the season. Yeah. And apparently he was healthy last game and played one snap. So that's what makes it so. Leshawn McCoy, two touchdowns. He might not even play. So who knows? Leshawn McCoy, two touchdowns.

And not saying which team, but there will be a return for a touchdown kick or punt. Okay. Those are my two ball predictions. Let's do one defensive one as well. Okay. Mine, four interceptions, five sacks for the Chiefs. Whoa. It's going to be a bloodbath. It's going to be a bloodbath because Derrick Henry's not going to be running. They're going to be throwing a lot, but they're not going to be able to throw Chris Jones sack nation. Okay. Um, my bull prediction there, I guess this is special teams again, whatever. Okay. That's defense. Okay. Perfect. We tip a field goal and block it. And then it hits part of the, the upright that's going to happen. That did happen yesterday. That happened. Yeah. We got it. We nicked the ball and then it continued to hit part of the

goalpost. Wow. I can't wait for that to happen. I wish people could like listen to this and then watch the game and be like rooting for these things to happen. Like we will be. Yeah. But whatever. Oh man. Still fun for for us we had the idea of doing the bold predictions every week of the chief season and we forgot yeah but that's okay that's okay i want people like it's been fun like uh having people text us you know like oh we were so rooting for the chiefs for you guys thinking of you guys yeah yeah and it was funny because we were watching together we just didn't document it at all it was just you and me it was great just focus on the tv yeah nothing else i was so pumped and me. It was great. Just focus on the TV.

Yeah. Nothing else. I was so pumped. Such a good week to be a Chiefs fan. I hope it doesn't all go away. If it goes away, it's going to be a huge colossal letdown because we should absolutely beat the time. Okay. We can't talk about it anymore.

We can't talk. No. No. We are the ones who knock. Do you remember? Yeah. No. I was just saying like, I'm not scared.

I was saying jinx. Like we can't keep saying. Nope. Nope. Nope. We're Christians. We don't believe in saying like, I'm not scared. I was saying jinx, like we can't keep saying. Nope, nope, nope. We're Christians. We don't believe in jinxes. I know that too. It's more so I'm running super late for what I have to go do.

Oh my gosh. It's 6.45. I didn't know that. So I'm trying to wrap it up. I remember that now. I'm sorry. That's the main thing. Thank you guys for listening to episode 37.
