Tyman you're you're embarrassing the podcast. I'm sorry. Oh this past Weekend we went to Indiana made your roasters a bunch of people had a lot of good things to say However, there was one woman specifically who had some beef with you had some poultry. Oh, okay Do you remember this bread? Not yes, this to you. Okay Here's what I'll say. You referred to her as a, I saw you like ACs in the house. AC, okay.

AC. She was like, hey, hey, hey, hey. Oh, oh, oh, yes, okay. Oh, yes, yes, okay. A lot of realization at once. Yeah. So this is a woman who, what's the connection exactly? She, her, her, because?

Grandma? Someone, basically she lives nearby. Small town Illinois. A church that your grandparents go to, I think. And you came there to sing. She's like, oh my gosh, I love the podcast. I love time. And I'm going to drive to hear time and sing. Yeah.

I thought it was so fun. You got to meet her. She's like, I wonder if time it's going to talk about me on the podcast. So so fun. As the story goes, you come back. We're like, how was your weekend? You're like, good. There was like this older lady who came and drove all this way to like hear me sing.

There's no way. Did I say that's what that's what people are saying? Yes. Alison, I believe was her name. Okay. Alison, I remember I, there's no way I said that. If I did, I'm sorry. I like, you think it's strange because I wouldn't have like, I, I don't, I

wouldn't have thought of her at all. I mean, she's what? Like 54, 55, no more than 60. I I don't I wouldn't have thought of her at all. I mean she's what like 54 55 No more than 60 No, she's no, yeah, I bet she's 30. I don't know maybe she's in her don't even try. Okay, you're right. You're right bad idea I'm joking. I'm joking. She's seriously like seriously. I bet I don't know, I think she graduated college. 125 pounds. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not comfortable with the age thing, but I'll do the weight. I'll guess her weight though.

Yeah. Yeah. I was going to go farther. Don't go farther. But Alison, if I said that, I'm very sorry. And I would like proof. Because if it's on the podcast, we can settle this. Send us a telegram, give us proof.

Yeah. She's very old. Send us a mixed tape You know record it on there She listened to this thing on a AM like a transmitter and she just records it onto a tape and says to us Yeah, obviously, I can't verify what you said. I didn't know I just had to take her at her word But yeah, I'm pretty fired up. I haven't called me an old lady. Okay, but here's another crazy thing. Did she tell you the next? old lady. Okay. But here's another crazy thing that should tell you the next, uh,

crazy coincidence was, I don't know if it was that same episode or whatever, sometime along the same episodes, you know, arc with, with time and time in, um, went away to California to, with some friends from church and all this stuff. Yeah. And, um, Alison, I gosh, we're positive that's her name, right? No, I don't know her name at all. It's Alison. Okay. Yeah. And, um, Alison, gosh, we're positive that's her name, right? No, I don't know her name at all. It's Alison. Okay. Right? I think it's Alison.

Okay. That's what I thought. Gosh, I hate the idea of getting somebody's name wrong. And I'm almost positive it's Alison. I don't even try. Alison and Ashley. I feel so bad if I'm confirming the wrong, yeah. Ashley was her sister's name.

Yes. And she was quite a bit older. Oh yeah. Way older. Well, either that or she just doesn't take care of herself. Gosh, I feel bad even making those joking. So Alison mentioned something about a podcast to this guy and she's like, but I felt bad like saying like you should listen to this podcast. Cause this guy's like really sophisticated and like, you know, like has

a doc, I don't know, like has all these like, like very serious guy, but maybe you should listen to this podcast. Cause this guy's like really sophisticated and like, you know, like has a doc. I don't know. Like has all these like, like very serious guy, but maybe you should check out this ghost rush podcast. And literally that week, Tyman mentions the guy on the podcast. You went to California and whoever was speaking in California is the guy that she told to listen to the podcast. I remember that now.

What for some reason, his name is slipping my mind right now, but like that was, I remember seeing that in like the Facebook group. Oh really? Yeah. Which is really fun. Just a wild, wild, small. How did she meet this guy?

You know, when you're AC, you're AC. I don't know. You know, air conditioning, they got the HVs and the ACs that they all just meld together this time of year. You never know which one to pick. So. That's good. And this was the main speaker. Like you went all the way to California to hear. It wasn't, that wasn't like why I went. It was like, but he was there giving like a talk. But it was by the end of it's like, I'm so glad that he was here. Right. For sure. All right. Cool.

Yeah. What was his age? Oh, I don't even too old. Uh oh. Ooh, I think this type that it's goin' down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat, so come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet, cause this is Ghost from the Sparkans. Every Monday morning we're taking grandpas for a spock, yeah Go for a spock, yeah All right, here we are.

We're home from the Middle East, the Middle North. Eastern time zone, but still Midwest. Real close to that time zone barrier, time zone water. Time zone barrier reef is what it's called. I learned that Samuel Carmel works in one time zone, lives in another. Oh, I'm sure so many people, Indiana, Tennessee. Yeah.

I mean, that's brutal. It's crazy. I don't know, would you rather live on the time zone where like you have to get up way earlier, but get home way earlier? Or would you rather live on the time zone where you can get up later and get home later? Wake up earlier, get home earlier.

Same. Imagine everyone else like, dang, 5.30 already and you're like, psych, it's 4.30 my time, baby. It's like, would you rather fly to Hawaii or fly home from Hawaii? You fly to Hawaii. I spent six hours in the air. Guess what?

It's still only noon. Yeah. I get the whole day in Hawaii. Yeah. Or fly home like, oh wow, it's 10 PM now, this sucks. Way better to go west. That's always true. Yeah. Just in general.

My sister in Braden came over last night and she was asking about the trip and she was like, I've actually been to South Bend when I was looking at grad school. She's like me and mom went up there and we looked at some school nearby there. And she was like, I can't, like I still remember the confusion we had.

She was like me and mom spent like an hour the night before. Double checking, triple checking. Like she said, it was daylight savings weekend and they were in two different time zones. She said it was just a nightmare. Try to figure out like we need to be there for I have a grad school interview. Like we can't be late for it. But we don't like what do even Google to say say like, when do I need to leave on daylight savings if I'm in this part of Indiana

and the school is on this part of Indiana? Yeah, especially cause like your Google or like ICAL or whatever is going to like adjust to wherever you are located currently. Yeah, sometimes that could trip you up too. I don't like that. Like you got messed up on your way home from Australia. You're like, I don't know what day I get in.

Like you, that the international date light thing still doesn't make sense to me. Oh yeah. I mean, once every like five years, I have a meltdown where I don't know what day or what time it is because this year was Australia. I don't know what happened. I just went to the fetal position.

You're like, I get home in 15. You literally text me. You're like, I get home in 15 hours. What day will that be? I was like Wednesday at 2 p.m. And you're like, I get home in 15 hours, what day will that be? I was like, Wednesday at 2 p.m. And you're like, really? I thought I was getting home at Thursday at seven. Yeah, because I had told people I couldn't,

I was like canceling plans. I thought I was, I don't know why I said yes to that. I'm clearly not gonna be home. I'm having to text Brad, hey, you got boots on the ground. Son out, I'm not able to know from here. Five years ago, similar situation. I remember being in, we were on the limo trip and something had happened where we were in,

I think we were in Arizona, but we were driven into Arizona that day. So we'd already crossed a time zone. Ty had like a non-apple, a non-smartwatch. So this like watch should have like at least a consistent time on it. And his watch set a different time than the, like than the house's oven.

Okay, no big deal. Someone's off here. But then on top of that, me and Ty's phone also had two different times on it. So you throw like, you know, you got three different times here. One of them's right. And I mean, we just couldn't,

we were just debilitated. You couldn't do anything. You're like, how do I, who can I talk to? Who can I trust? Yeah, who's the control here? Yeah, we have a flight tomorrow. When is it? It's so confusing.

Yeah, I was driving to Indiana this weekend and Ali Moos, I believe, it looks like Moos, but you pronounce it Moos. Okay. Allison Moos, put it in the Facebook group. Hey, anybody that wants to come for pizza, we're meeting at seven 30 this place. And my ETA was like seven 46. I was like, that'd be fun. Like surprising them with pizza. And then I'm getting closer and closer. I was like, I think I might get there by seven 30, you know, just shaving time. And all of a sudden ETA eight 36.

Oh, that freak you out. Like, did I miss an exit? Like, how did I? Yeah, 100%. I was like, oh no. I thought I was going through Chicago. I haven't seen Chicago yet. Maybe I did go the wrong way somewhere. Oh no. Anyway, so yeah. Did not end up making it to dinner with anybody.

Google Maps doesn't know what time zone you're headed to? That's what I'm saying. Like, it should tell you that. It should tell you like, it's going to be 830 where you- That's messed up. End up being. So you miss pizza, miss pizza. Yeah.

I got to a nap and knee right before the mainstream was closing down for the night, 9 PM and walked in and just wanted like walk around. And I was uncomfortable the entire time I was in there because I didn't know. I didn't know. Like, I don't know. I didn't know like, I don't know. I didn't want to be a burden to anybody. I walked in, I was like, I'm not trying to like order anything at the last minute here.

I just want to walk around and see the place and. And you walk in and these baristas, they're such sweet girls. But I feel like they look at you like they maybe know you. There was one girl. And so you're like, should I, would you like to have a conversation or, we don't have to if you don't know me though.

I'm a nice guy though. I tried to acknowledge it right away. I was like, my friend and I are doing an event here tomorrow for our podcast. And they're like, oh yeah, is Ghost Riders podcast? I was like, yeah. They're like, okay, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like it was like, you don't know me. You don't care about me. There was one girl that made eye contact with me and then looked the other way and just went into the kitchen. Like, so I think she, I don't know me. You don't care about me. Okay. There was one girl that made eye contact with me and then looked the other way and just went into the kitchen. Like, so I don't know her name. She wasn't there the next day. Janay? Nope. Okay. None of them. I don't know. Uh, but anyway, just got there. But I did see Ali most and her boyfriend, Ryan, uh, on the street very first, they were like, oh, there's the guy with the granola. That must be Brad.

So, but yeah, took the granola with us, had a great time. And Ryan, big drone guy. Big drone guy. Sweet picks, sweet shots. Sweet shots. Sweet shots of the drone. Sweet F-stops. Sweet F-stops.

Yeah, it was great. Yeah, he was FPV-ed, I think. Yeah, goggles free. Yeah. But yeah, he was doing it. Yeah. Anyway, how do we start the Indiana time? Just chronological go through it? Let's just start with some overarching themes. Okay. You missed out if you didn't go. Boy did you. You missed out. You missed out. Timon loser. You missed out. There were so many old women there. Timon would have loved it. Oh yeah. It was great. I mean, we sold like, I don't know, 115, 120 tickets, which is like two and a half times what we told major roasters we would sell already blew us out of the water. Yeah. And then as

we're greeting people, as they're all coming in, I'm like, this has to be more than 120. It felt like a million. It felt like we had a biblical sized miracle on our hands. Yeah, all of a sudden, yeah, the loaves and the fishes. Did you start feeling near the end, like I'm sorry that we made you guys wait this long to get in? Yeah, I tried to be cognizant.

I was like, well, they're in the sun at least, cause I've spent some time in the sun today, I've spent some time in the shade today. It's a 40 degree difference in Indiana, by the way. There's a Devo. Something's. Yeah. There is dude. Something's up. When the sun's out, you feel warmer.

Yeah. Yeah. When we were on that patio, I was hot rolling up my sleeves. Oh, they had hot coffee and hot cider. I was like, brother, just have a water right now. Yeah. And then afterwards on the street, I was so cold. I don't know how the temperature could be that different same same time same place different location sums up Yeah, anyway, so they were in the missed out is the main theme

Yeah, I was like I want to be cognizant of like these people have waited for a long time I want to talk to them and get to know them But also there's people behind them that have also waited a long time to get it But yeah, we we had yeah, you guys missed out for sure. We had a great time. Got to meet so many cool people. And if you weren't one of them, sorry. Whoops. So many people from not Indiana. Yeah. I think it was a majority Michigan, Ohio, and Canada. You think majority? I don't know. Over, there were a lot of Indiana still, but yeah, Michiganers showed up hard. Yeah, a lot of Canadians, one Texan.

One Texan. That was insane. Sarah Lavelle from New York. Yeah, that's fun. Alvaro, you know. Yeah. Hit his quota for the year from Virginia. Gotta have Alvaro there.

Yeah, we had two guys, Joel and his brother, I forget his name, but they drove 14, 15, 16 hours from Quebec, Canada. Quebec. Quebec, they say. Kaboom, Quebec. Kaboom. Did you hear that, so they've got family in America.

They've got a grandpa in Indiana or Ohio somewhere. And so they went and stopped in to see him and they came early. This was like a week in Indiana or Ohio somewhere. So they went and stopped in to see him and they came early this was like a week-long road trip for them and Something happened where they went and visited the grandpa. Hey, we're gonna go out. We're gonna hang out whatever they locked Their 82 year old grandpa out of his home for six hours With no cell phone and nothing but just like yeah his body. Yeah had nothing. Let's hope he was in the sun. Let's just say that.

Yeah. Everything's in the shade, he's gonna die. Yeah, no, they told the story, I think it was when they got to New York, their tires were uneven or something. Yeah, they were wobbling. And so they were just bouncing for like six hours down the road.

And so they got, they're like, yeah, you'll have to like, whatever, redo your tires, rebalance them or whatever. So they went to Walmart thinking that they could just do it real quick and all of a sudden, nope, took six hours to get new tires and do all this stuff. And so, yeah, grandpa was outside the whole time. I can't believe that he's just outside just with nothing.

He just has to wait till Joel gets back. What do I do? So sad. Although I do think old till Joel gets back. What do I do? So sad. Although I do think old people like that though. You think? Yeah. My grandpa got stuck in his like motorized scooter one day. He got stuck like in the yard in the mud,

had his cell phone on him, didn't call anybody. Really? He just sat there. Just waiting for somebody to come. Yeah, I guess so. I was just waiting for the good Lord to take him. I don't know if he just thought this is it. I'm to take them. I don't know if you thought this is it. I'm happy dying here.

I don't know what he thought, but because everyone else is like, grandpa did call us to get our attention. Someone was like, his wife was my grandma was in the house. Oh yeah. He's just, you know, I don't know what old people just like sitting. Do you know how far into the grass he was? Like did he just accidentally like veer off the road a little bit? Or was he like going off-roading? I don't know.

I don't know. That's so funny. Just like, well, here I am. They can tolerate sitting outside though. It's nice. Yeah. Oh, also, Braden, who's living in the Aletha house right now.

Your brother-in-law, Braden. Brother-in-law, Braden. It's fun. He's like just fully in with the boys now. He's like, he's gone golfing with them four or five times. He's like, there's been times he's like, I've gone golfing. Isaac's not even there.

He was golfing with like Parker Willis and Briley and he's just fitting in. Anyway, he said he got locked out of the house last week. And I was like, I am shocked that anyone is locking that house. And they said, well, there were some, there were some guys coming over to like tow Isaac's truck. It's whoever was sketched out by that. So anyway, yeah.

Did you see the, did you see his trucks? Like wheel? Yeah. Insane dude. Like the wheel was at a right angle basically. Like you would just see, said he was just driving down the road I think when it happened. Yeah, just rusty old ball joint. It's just like frame. It's like the chassis just fell. Listen here, you rusty old ball joint. Why? Brayden said, you know, you're an hour and a half, you know, just outside.

He's like, I just kind of walked around a lot and he found, I was wondering where this went. Shout out Jeff, who got us the Amish Jam sign. Apparently it's been on the exterior of my old Aletha house. But Braden saw it and I guess was looking at it upside down and so he texted my sister, he's like, what's Amish Jaws? Jaws. It's different, it's a dental practice out there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the Amish Jam sign, I know it's huge. And so it's like I would love to put it in the studio But like unless it literally looks like our show would be called Amish Jam. We can't put it anywhere around here it's almost like we need like shrink shrink it down and put it put a framed picture of it somewhere, but Yeah, it was it was a great time all, all, all around. Uh, I wrote down my first thing I wrote down, Jake is Jake, great roommate. I talked about this, uh, but Jake and I shared a hotel room and you got into the hotel. I don't know whatever it was 11 something.

11 45. So I had to go run really quick. And while you did wake me up, because I think it's kind of inevitable to wake somebody up. Um, unless you're just like a super hard me up, because I think it's kind of inevitable to wake somebody up, unless you're just like a super hard sleeper, which I wasn't. Yeah, the hallway light is on. Yeah.

Loud hotel doors. I think I even tried to like keep one, like maybe the bathroom light on for you, or whatever it was. Bathroom light was on, thank you. Yep. But you were so good at keeping, like I could just tell you were trying to be quiet,

and I could not appreciate that. Like there is such a swing in the way I feel about somebody. It doesn't matter if you are quiet, but if you're trying to be quiet, that means makes a difference to me. I'd like to think I could win some competitions. Yeah. In fact, I tried to back in the day at camp. That's a whole different story for different times. I was like, I bet I can walk quieter than all you guys. Really? Yeah. Yeah. It's just, there's just something special about like, like you just hear the zipper, just like, that really is. Yeah. You know, rather than like a golly man, like, don't you know,

I'm trying to sleep here. You know, oh yeah. Just a slow zipper. Low and slow on the zipper is nice. I think the next morning or Sunday morning, I went and like moved everything into the bathroom so I could zip on uninhibited by sound. See, that's what I'm saying. Like there's just a difference there. And I'm convinced that my wife does not care one bit about me when I'm sleeping. She'm seeing how loud she can be.

It's like, well, or maybe she doesn't understand. I don't know. But like, don't you think that the sink is like a really loud, like a high pitched noise? Yeah, for sure. And so like just turning on the sink, like when we were first married, our bathroom was like connected to our room. And so it's not anymore. But like she turned, she would turn it on and it'd just be like so high pitched. I'm like, shut the door all the way before you turn on the scene. I don't know. Yeah. Just, just a little like heavy with the heels on the, on the hardwood. Like stop, like just go a little slower. I wish you could have seen me trying to plug in my phone charger that first night because

it's a little bit of a reach. And I swear I am making the tiniest sound cause it is dark. I don't want to shine my flashlight cause it's in your direction. Sure. It's gotta be bright. Sure.

Could wake big daddy up. Sure. So I'm trying to do it with just my phone lock screen just using that brightness. So it's like use that and try to memorize where the holes are. See what we're dealing with here. And then go in and I keep missing it. And it's actually making the problem worse because now I'm hitting the metal on plastic But it is making just like just the tiniest little

It's like a little noise. I swear every time I missed you kind of like no problem, dude No problem. You're kind of move around like how is he waking doesn't matter that it's not about the results It's about the effort that you're putting into it. That is my thing. I understand, it's inevitable, you could barely move your sheets and it would wake me up. That's fine. But there's a difference between that and just lying down. Lights on, morning.

Yeah, yeah, whatever it is. I don't know. Thank you. It was great coming into the hotel room that night and you kind of wake it up a little bit. Hey man, how you doing? And you go, mmm.

I think I raised the roof or did something with my arms or something, but yeah, I was mouth taped up. Mouth taped. And then, yeah, we're already over here. The next morning, we get a little bit of sleep, but it's fine. We don't have to wake up super early. No, yeah, we're already over here. The next morning, you know, we get a little bit of sleep, but it's fine. We don't have to wake up super early. No, yeah.

We had our first VIP breakfast event, 9 a.m. Great time in the conference room, Main Street Roasters. Learned a lot about like Canadian politics there. Yep. Some, apparently Justin Trudeau might be Fidel Castro's son. And apparently it seems like just no Canadians like Justin Trudeau might be Fidel Castro's son. And apparently it seems like just no Canadians like Justin Trudeau. People want to leave Canada to come here just because of Trudeau. Yeah.

The more you know. Which here it's just nothing but roses. You know, everyone loves the ball tricks here. Yeah. Starting tomorrow, probably. It's about to get good. One way or the other. Yeah.

My highlight of that whole time, no offense to anybody else in the room, but it was holding that baby. I loved Caden man. Caden with a K. Oh, with a K. Yeah. Oh, fun. In my notes, he had a C. Dang.

Yeah. Caden was the man. He was about Henry's age, I believe. And I was like, can I hold them? They're like, yeah. Yeah now heads up He's pretty small for a Dutch baby Does that mean yeah, I was like, this is a small Dutch baby. Then I don't want to see a large one He was so cute man. He was so fun. I think his shirt said

Good vibes something like that. That's nice and it was good times Got to yeah, I got to hang out with everybody. Got to share some cinnamon rolls around the table and just everyone that they had, they had their own like a signature Ghost Runners drink. Yes. That day on Saturday. And it was just like cold brew, but it had a ghost on the side that they made out of marshmallow cream. And it was fun because as the drink gets drunk, drank, the ghosts would kind of start like moving around to a different blob.

Yeah, I said, it's like one of those, I don't know how to pronounce it, one of those like Rook Shark test or whatever. Like, what do you see in the ghost? What is it? It's gonna reveal something in you. Yeah, is that a cloud? Is that a ghost?

Yeah, a human pelvis. Right. That's what I saw. So it was, yeah, that was so, it was just a fun way to ease into the day with like, okay, rather than just meeting 100 people at once. Yeah, it was like just 11. And there was a great 11.

Great 11. Ocean's 11, Danny Ocean's 11. Yeah, it was great, it was awesome. We didn't really know what to expect. Are they gonna come with questions? Are they gonna utilize this time with us? But no, we were just hanging out, just like we were friends.

Just hanging out, holding babies. Holding babes. Yeah, talking about where we're from, talking about Canadia, all this stuff. I gave Michaela Wee a new nickname. She is now known as Wikipedia to me because I had no idea how well read, it's just this girl knows everything about everything.

It was awesome. Michaela and Jessica are very fascinating people. They talked about going to Vegas. It was it was which one was like obsessed with the elevator escalator? I think it was Michaela because she's an engineer. Yes, I can't get over curved escalators. She yeah, she just like what like just steady how this escalator worked as a curved escalator. She's like, do you know how often I have to change the belt? Once every two months. That's crazy. Yeah. Change it, not just maintain it. Yeah.

So, um, yeah, she did. She walked in, like they got there a little bit late and, uh, she's like, Oh, we talked about Justin Trudeau, you know, like she just knew right away what was going on. So yeah, I think I know with them, Ryan Chandler, who's older than us, we now refer to as Mr. Chandler, because he said, anyone older than you, you should refer to as Mr. And Mrs. Timon would refer to him as old man Chandler, old man Chandy over there. Yeah, we gave him a hard time. Apparently it was Allison's birthday. I think I saw that on Facebook afterwards. He's like, all right, I kept my word.

I wasn't going to say anything all weekend. Hope you had an amazing birthday celebration. That as we get older, I think it's just harder and harder to know what to do with birthdays. But I would have loved to know it was her birthday. We definitely would have sung to her. I would have I would have kissed her hand birthday. We definitely would have sung to her. I would have, I would have kissed her hand. Would you have? Which side?

Back. Good. Yeah. The palm. Give me palm. Which side? And then put them together, kind of high five. What a kiss to her hand.

My lady. Yeah. You must be with old man Chan though. Yeah, I don't know. Just with birthdays, I'm just like, I don't know. I, I want to acknowledge him still, but I just watch more uncomfortable as you get older. Yeah. You got to cater to the person. I just watched the parks and rec episode where they finally find out Ron's birthday and he's just freaking out the whole time. Like what's going to happen. And so good. Yeah. It's great. It's just a nice the whole time, like what's gonna happen. So good. Yeah, it was great.

It was just a nice steak and bridge over the River Croix or whatever it is. Yep, yep, yeah. Yeah, with his whiskey and his steak. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah, great time. I don't know, I feel like as kids

you just don't have the awareness probably of like maybe this is on, maybe I shouldn't be so into myself on my birthday. Maybe as adults, you're like, I don't know if I should, but I'm like, come on, let's celebrate. I just love celebrating anything. So Allie, Allison, happy birthday. That's for the back of your hand. Yeah. And then after breakfast, we went to pickleball. Yes, we did. It was great. So we didn't really, we didn't really know where we were going to. I think we had talked to Haley Miller from Main Street Roasters.

She was like, there's this park, Superco Spy. They just put in six brand new courts. Like, oh, great. We show up. There's so many people there. Yeah. And each court had like a different color to it. I liked that.

That was fun. It looked great on the drone. It looked great on the drone. Mr. Chandler had some good pics on the drone. And it was really fun. I will say the court surface was, was that an ice rink? What was it exactly?

Yeah, what was that? It was like a sport court type surface. Did you notice that the ball flew on it? That's right, yeah, that's what I'm referring to as like the ice rink. It was skid like crazy. I've never seen anything like that. But it felt like if you spiked the ball,

it went a hundred miles an hour on that thing. Yeah. Any kind of like spin at all was, it was like a bouncy ball. It was like the second bounce on a bouncy ball when it's just so like exaggerated. So it's kind of fun. It was like, hey, this is like a new version of pickle ball. Yeah.

But it was great. I mean, we just got to rotate in and play with a bunch of people and meet a bunch of people When we rolled up, I mean there were probably 3040 people already using Friday paddles that they had like brought and I was like these people You weren't at Branson. You weren't you've not been given this you paid for this. Yeah, that's really cool That's awesome. Tata people with Friday pals. They bought so shout out to y'all. Appreciate you guys doing that Represent any time people didn't have like, what is this? What is this garbage?

I did. Yeah. I would make a lot of those comments. Like, no, I'm not playing with you. You have Friday Pals. Yeah. Just in general at any court, it's like much more common for me to, it's rare to not see Friday Pals.

It's crazy. So we're talking about like every time you go, you at least see some. Yeah. Like BDA anywhere. Meadowbrook. Yeah, it is cool. You see like probably one per like visit to a public park. I feel like that's wild. It's pretty fun to be like, I am that guy. Like I know, I know the people that own that. We're doing it. Yeah. What the heck? We're disrupting the market. Yeah. We're D-ing the M. There were people at the

pickle wall courts that just literally brought lawn chairs and just sat out. Oh yeah. Like it was like we had some moms that just wanted to watch, you know, just, I'm just here to enjoy people watching. I was great. I love seeing the girls back there in their lawn chairs. Absolutely. That song, you know, that's always called it. Was it? No, it's called the hamster dance. That's what I was like.

It seems like crazy frog adjacent, but I couldn't remember what it was because I've heard that before. Yep. Now, now you know it's the hamster dance. Hamster dance. What made you sing that? I'm just feeling goofy. No. It's cause of good answers, man.

That's betterhelphelp.com. Yeah, it was so fun. I don't know, everything was fun in the pickleball. It was one of those times, just like everything else we've ever done,

where it's like, whoa, it's already, we gotta go, we gotta go to the next thing. Yeah. I don't wanna go yet, but I guess we got to. And it ended up being great, because when I got in your truck that morning, leaving the hotel, your truck's at 38 degrees. It's like, I don't know how pickleball is gonna be.

Yeah. Pickleball was around, we're in the sun, you know what the sun means, everything's good. It was on paper, what was it, 56 degrees? But on skin, 81. What kind of analogy would you use for your clothing, attire while playing, while at the pickleball court? What is a good analogy?

It was like when your, it was like when you, your stomach starts to feel weird and you don't know if you're going to vomit, if you have diarrhea, or maybe you're just hungry and need to eat more. Like one of those, like you really can't tell what's happening in your stomach. That was amazing. You just pulled that out. Thank you. That was a great analogy. Yeah. Tell it like, because like you started off in a hoodie. I had a chief's hoodie and Cozy Earth joggers on. I was ready to be bundled. Sure. 50 some degrees.

That's cold. And then you play a couple of games. You're like, all right, I think the pants can go. Actually met a guy named Eduardo with my pants down. That was my first time ever. Like I had shorts on underneath, but Cozy Earth pants around my ankles. Right when he rolls up, he's like, dude, what's up? And I was like, hey man, great to me. And I shook his hand and like,

got to know him with my pants down. So it was great. Eduardo, who do you come with? Chris, Eduardo and Chris, they were awesome. Chris looked a lot like my best man, Casey. Yeah. Shout out Chris. Yeah. Yeah. They were great. And then next thing you know, you play a little bit more. Oh, that wind's kind of died down. I think I can take the hoodie off Okay, you take the hoodie off play a couple points now that wind comes back Yep, I think I need the hoodie back on right like that. It's a little too much exposure on my arm. Yeah Oh, okay. I sat out a game. I've been talking to the the Traverse City boys I think I need those pants back on now too and just go back and forth back and forth

And I didn't know anyone else was even paying attention, but I had so many people come up to me like, it was hard to figure out who you were today because you kept having different outfits on. I was like, I wasn't changing, it wasn't new outfits. It was a temperature thing. You did change on the way to the pickleball courts in the alley.

Oh yeah. I did. I was like, well, if I go back into Main Street Roasters, it's gonna take a while. I know, I had to like beeline out of there. Like there were a few people that made eye contact with me. I'm like, hello. I would love to talk to you.

We'll talk to you at pickleball. You're not my friend until 4 PM. Got it. Pay for VIP. See you later, Emily. Yeah. You were just changing the alley. Just straight down to the skips.

I think. Yeah. I was in boxers when a horse snuck up on me. Oh, sure. Which that's my fault. I mean, I should have heard the horse a horse snuck up on me. Oh sure. Which that's my fault. I mean, I should have heard the horse coming. Tymon would have smelled it. Yep.

But a lot of those jokes going around this weekend, Tymon. I'll tell you the number one topic of conversation at Pickleball was the granola. Everyone was asking about the granola. Oh yeah. So how are we gonna get this granola? Is that real? Do you actually bring that?

Like is it in the tub? Is it like, do we need to have our own to get this granola? Is that real? Do you actually bring that? Like is it in the tub? Is it like, do we need to have our own containers for the granola? Like when are you going to pass out the granola? So like the granola is right there. Like I assume it's not gluten-free or did you bring gluten-free? Finally I said, Jake's in charge of the granola. I don't know. Jake brought it.

I bet Jake has a plan, but also maybe not. I was like, maybe we'll just dump it into people's mouths as they're standing. We'll do a parade. Yeah, the truck will drive by you. Whatever container you have, we'll dump it into. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bucket.

It's like, yeah, instead of throwing out candy at a parade, it's like, you want some granola? Yeah. It's like, yeah, you're feeding cattle a trough or whatever. Just kind of shake it out of there. The granola was a absolute hit though. People were obsessed with it, whether it was on Facebook or in person

or actually receiving it, but it was great. Me and Emily started a little serving line and yeah, that granola was gone in 10 minutes. It was great. Shout out Brooke, got us Ziploc bags. Would not let us pay for the Ziploc bags. And we know the price of ziplock bags better hurt. Apparently, we're up to date.

It's going to be like three dollars. I was like, for a hundred plus ziplock bags. Court sized, Brooke. See you, Brooke. Yeah. All right. That's gonna be more than your gas to get here. So I don't know how much she paid. I would love to know so we can pay her back. But speaking of Brooke, great second session VIP table.

That was just a good crew. Yes, that's what we did after Pickleball. And we went to their across the street. Mace Roasters has a neighbor's mercantile store across the street. What do you like to call it? The Merc. The Merc. Oh man, get Merc.

Oh, get Merced. Yeah. Where you been? I haven't seen you all day. I've been up on the rooftop getting the murked Vips You're working hard or hardly murking You like that yeah It's a murk shop. So I mean Santa's little murk shop. I It was Santa's little murk shop

One knock on the day. No, what? Chris's music. Yes. It was like, we're up, we're getting Merked on the rooftop in the sun. In the sun. It's very nice. It's a perfect day.

Merked fit day. Merked fit day. Yeah. And I got to hear Little Drummer Boy. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. We're like, what in the world? That is Little Drummer Boy on a small speaker, 15 feet away from you, as done by Brad Ellis. The in and out is based on how much wind is happening

on the balcony at any given time. balcony at any given time. It's like, okay. Yeah, it's like, is this white Christmas? Like what's going on? Yeah. It's a little too early for Christmas time. I get it though. If you're a small town merc,

people want their Christmas decor. And they did have the decor. I mean, it was a sweet store, dude. Yeah, it was. I geek out about the craftsmanship of everything like that. I went to the bathroom at one point. I was like, this door is unbelievable. I love this door. This is an amazing door for a bathroom.

Yeah. Everything about it. It just felt historic. Like this old building that they I think they it's relatively new to the Miller family, maybe a couple of years old that they bought it, but they've done a great job with it. So The Merc was awesome. VIP was awesome told some stories that will never tell on the podcast. Yeah, we did. Did we? Oh, yeah, we really did. Yeah. Yeah, we did a few personal stories. That was fun. Yes. They got their share there Yeah, that was fun. Yeah that got brought up in a weird way, but Fun fun stories and yeah, just a fun crew. We had Lisa Gluck, Hannah Warner,

Bryce and Nick from Canada, Curtis from Canada. Holly Ware from Kentucky. Yeah. Lou, Lou. Yep. Brooke. Emily. Paige Cucco.

Yep. Her husband, we're not gonna say his name because he doesn't listen to the podcast. It doesn't matter anyway. Nope. He's such a Nick. Is that everybody? I hope so. Surely not though. Curtis, we say Curtis. I said Curtis. Curtis is a vibe. This is great. So I went to Dad's on Maui with a guy named Brad from Toronto, Canada. I met a bunch of people also from Ontario this weekend. And I'll say these Ontario people were

way more like Canadian than Brad, if that makes sense. Like these people were like, I mean, I like Brad a lot, but like these people were like, you are Canadian. Like the way they talked, Curtis had a little bit of lettuce, like some long hair, just seemed like a hockey player. I don't know. I was just like, these are the kinds of Canadians I can get behind.

So most of them didn't have their front teeth Which I like No dental hygiene. Yeah, just from hockey injuries was awesome So yeah, they were they were great. I hope that's all everybody Brooke we said Brooke we said Holly we said Jake who was sitting directly to your left? That was Emily, yeah. Emily Sheng. Oh, Sheng.

Yep. Sheng? Sheng. Oh, Sheng Yu. Oh, Sheng Yu very much. Yeah, so there you go. Good crew. Great crew.

So, yeah. I was looking at my notes for this, but that's all the things. Okay, after that, then we had about an hour to kind of prep for the main meetup. Now, you know, we've had a couple of VIPs, we've seen some people pick a ball, but 4 p.m. is when everybody's coming to Main Street Roasters. This is the time kind of for us to prep. I mean, I end up just talking to people on the street in the shade,

for like 30 minutes, and it was like, I need to go get set up. I go into Main Street Roasters to change my clothes. Again, gotta get in my, you know, non-pickleball outfit. And- You brought your suitcase with you. I did, brought that everywhere that day. You just never know.

I get into the Main Street Roasters bathroom to change. And then I just kind of see that toilet looking at me and I'm like, wonder what would happen if I- It's looking at you, I'll look back. Got involved a little bit. Cause oh, earlier that day I told me and I'm like, wonder what would happen if I'm, it's looking at you. I'll look back. You got involved a little bit. Yeah. Cause Oh, earlier that day I told you, I said, when you have coffee on an empty stomach, does it ever like make you feel weird? No, not really. I was like, you are like, ah, yeah. Yeah. It kind of does. Yeah. For breakfast you had a latte and a cinnamon roll. Yeah. Big old latte, caramel latte. Very iced cinnamon roll. And then an iced cinnamon roll.

Yeah, we would start today, not how I normally start my mornings. And anyway, I started looking at that toilet and I was like, oh no. And then I'm just, I'm very thankful for that 30 minutes that we had where there were no ghosties and maitre osers and I could just do what I needed to do, kind of refresh a little bit, feel a little better.

During that time, while I'm sitting on the toilet, this is foreshadowing for later, I'm like, oh, I should check in for my flight later. They're like, all right, seat aside, I'm in basic economy, so you don't even get to select a seat, but I'm still like, where did I get assigned, what am I looking at? My second flight, so from Charlotte to Kansas City,

little over two hour flight, they've assigned me a middle seat, but they say, hey, we have first class tickets available for $60. I was like, I've never flown first class before. Kind of, it was Alaskan Airlines, it was a mistake by tradespeople, I didn't really feel like first class.

I was like, this would be kind of cool, today's gonna be a long day, could treat myself a little bit. It's only $60. Even just to upgrade to a window seat, it's already gonna cost me 19. This is dumb if I don't. So I did it right then and there. I was like, I'm gonna be a first class boy tomorrow.

The stage is set. I'll talk more about it later. We'll hear about it later. All that to say, 4 p.m. hits. I come out of that bathroom, feeling good. Ready to go. Let's have a let's have a night Got the granola got the yeah Brad carried it in for me. I was very nice and your cutting boards. Yeah, that was funny

I I carried in the granola you're like dude Sorry, cuz I put the granola in the truck earlier than their day before you're like I was gonna help you out with that I was like, it's fine, dude Yeah, it's gonna be in barely late on helping Brad I was like well you could you could carry in the cutting boards if you want to and you're like, it's fine, dude. And so- It's got me in barely late on helping Brad. So I was like, well, you could carry in the cutting boards if you want to. And you're like, yes, I will do that. Cutting board guy.

And then you go to change and you don't come back for a while and I'm like, well, I'm not just gonna wait around. Yeah. You come out, you're like, sorry, dude. I had to. I needed every second that I was in there. But I got first class, so don't worry.

Yeah. Yeah. And we had a raffle. Like, Main Street Roasters provided some raffle prizes, raffle items. We had some Friday Pickleballs, some cutting boards from LS Custom Creations. That was great. Oh, we had the photo booth, dude.

Kinsey Carmel. Shout out to the Carmel's, dude. They're the best. Kinsey and Samuel, they've come to so many different events we've done, but most recently came to the Carmel's dude. They're the best. Kenzie and Samuel, they came, they've come to so many different events we've done, but most recently came to Gulf Shores. And yeah, Kenzie is a professional wedding photographer slash just a photographer in general. And she has this cool photo booth. It's like a touch screen little, you can put it anywhere kind of thing. And yeah, we just, it was like one of those things where it's like they walked in, we greeted them, them, you know instructions and said go take a picture. This is awesome

So she sent us the link yesterday. It had all the photos of the event in it. So fun and there was gifts I don't know you could give you can give you could do jpeg Jpegs. Yeah, they PNG you could PNG you could a transparent background. Could you SVG even? What is that it's like the What is that? It's like the it's like the vector one, right? Like design If time and I don't know it Scalable vector graphic. Dang it. The vector image is like an architect term XML to define two-dimensional

It's like for a very high res or like well, it's scalable. It's completely skilled Yeah, so like you can blow it up as big or as small as you want. Yeah, same res XML files by the way that like file extension gets used for a lot of different types of stuff I don't know what happens. You're saying XML is involved in that photo. Oh, yeah Every time you record something on a Sony camera, it creates a separate file on XML. What happens? It's just trash You don't ever use it. But the tentacle, we don't need to talk about any of this, but the tentacle audio thinks that those are XML files

and those are helpful XMLs. Those are great XMLs. How does it work? How are they the same file type, but some are trash, some are vector files, some are audio files? Somebody's gonna explain it to us. And it's you with the computer. Oh no. No, we don't need to. Your best guess. We don't need to explain it to us. And it's you with the computer. Oh, no. No, we're your best guess.

We don't need to get into the weeds. Oh, XML is like just Excel. It's like XL, like Microsoft Excel. Oh, Microsoft Excel. Yeah. But it's Microsoft is the M. So XML. That makes sense. They kind of, yeah, it does it all.

So, and there's HTML, which is HP Hewlett Packard. I mean, that's a marriage through divorce. And so he's Hewlett Thomas, and then they got remarried Hewlett Packard. So it's Hewlett Thomas ML. So if you have a HP computer, XML is HTML. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

That word got thrown around a lot. People every time, you know, give them back. Granola, thank you. Thank you. It was fun. Oh yeah. Let's see. So yeah, that that the night event was so fun.

I don't know. I would love to get vantage point from everybody else. Cause it felt like it went really fast to me, but obviously we were talking to people nonstop the whole time. Um, but people were playing games, you know, mainstream roasters has like two, almost three stories worth of, you know, places to sit and be. And so we put Samuel Carmel in charge of like, just like, Hey, can you bring some games, run some games? Uh, so I went upstairs at one point, played Dutch blitz, just like, Hey, can you bring some games, run some games? So I went upstairs at one point, played Dutch blitz with some people. Oh, Dutch blitz got worked by everybody.

I was terrible. I love Dutch blitz. I'm not very good at it, but it's such a good game. Who was it? Um, Lily homeschooler, Lily at the end of the night. We found out she was one. She went and got Dutch blitz. She showed up to me. She was really, I was like, Oh yeah. But then she did say like, well, yeah, I'm homeschooler Lily at the end of the night. We found out she was one, she went and got Dutch Blitz.

She showed up to major rosters. Homeschooler Lily, I was like, oh yeah, but then she did say like, well yeah, I'm homeschooled. That's why I'm so good. You have to have Dutch Blitz for Northern Indiana. I'm a Dutch baby. Pretty small for a Dutch Blitz. Yeah, yeah, she went and got it from Merck.

Is that what you said? Was it the Merck? I believe so. Wow. So the Merck sells Dutch Blitz if you guys need it Merc Blitz Man it was a good time that I went and played bank. Oh Where was bank happening? Bank was in the conference room. Oh, was it really electric? I had no idea I never made it upstairs during the game room. Yeah, so

If you don't know bank, it's not gonna be that exciting of a story, but so I'll keep it short. But basically there was like 20 of us playing and it came down to two of us that still kept in me and Noah, I believe. Yes Noah. Hope it's not. And yeah, he, we both had, it was like 12,000. The bank was so high and Noah and I both were staying in and he's finally like, I'm out 12,000. The bank was so high. And Noah and I both were staying in

and he's finally like, I'm out, 12,000, I'm out. And so all I had to do to basically win the game was to roll one more time and roll anything but seven. And try to make it dramatic, throw one at a time. Rolled one, four. I was like, here we go, rolled the next. Of course I say something beforehand, that's why you don't get out, Noah.

And I threw it one more time and rolled a three. Oh, that's fun. And everyone ever with I think Lisa Gluck has the Video that's right. Best case scenario. That's so electric. Oh, it was nuts. So Great time playing bank. Just everyone going crazy on it Yeah, and and I got that's that's when you were passing out the granola I think cuz I got back downstairs and I see Maddie Deterly walking around like with a bag like passing out the granola, I think, because I got back downstairs, and I see Matty Dieterle walking around with a bag, like, who else wants granola? Anybody wants granola?

I throw it out to people. You get granola. And you depleted the bag. Depleted the bag, donated the big tub to Macy's Roasters, and yeah, it was awesome. It was awesome. Got rid of all of it, 50 pounds. Yeah, it was awesome. It was awesome.

Got rid of all of it, 50 pounds. During dinner and game time, I sat down with the Coleman family. Evan is a ghostie, well, kind of a ghostie. He said he listened to the first 30 episodes. Okay. And that's it. Oh.

But his wife still listens. Oh, so he listened and then stopped? Yes. So it's not like, I'm a new ghostie and I've started he listened? And then stop like. Yes. So it's not like I'm a new ghost, and I've started from the beginning. It's like. It's like my wife continues to be a fan. I like you guys.

Okay. I just don't listen anymore. Is this Wild Yam? Wild Yam. Okay, okay. Yeah, so I mean, right away, his like first sense to me is like, hey man, you know, you know, been at so and so.

And I was like, yeah, I do. Cause he was one of the founders of Friday and everything. He was like, yeah, I've like grew up family friends with him. I was like, no way, that's so fun. We're connected over that. And then come to find out he's doing like his own business, e-commerce, all this stuff. So it's like, we got to chat later.

And so come to find out, yeah, I mean, he's just, he's just a savvy guy. He's like this guy, first of all, it looks like Justin Herbert a lot. I can see it. Yeah. That's a compliment. Yeah. He said he's not a football guy.

I was like, well, you do look like him and he's a good looking guy. Yeah. So no problem. But he used to like flip things on Amazon full time. And I guess like learn the Amazon business. He's like, all right, I'm going to create my own products. And so we like figured out a way to like rank different search terms on Amazon to see what's popular, what's not, found a couple of products that, you know, we're being searched for a lot, but didn't

have that many listings and just kind of was like, all right, I'm going to be, I'm going to make this product now. And so the first product he started with was like this very, I think it's very granola, very crunchy type industry, but it's wild yam cream. Yeah. I asked Catherine about it. She threw out the word progesterone and hormone and I was like, all right. All right. Sounds rev my engine. Yeah, exactly. But she was, uh, she, she was like, that sounds awesome. Yeah. She was all about it. Yeah. So Evan just in his like garage, just like his hand making his own wild yam cream and selling it on Amazon. Yeah. He's doing himself cool and crushing it.

Don't you love hearing stuff like that? Yeah, it was awesome. It's like, go baby, let's go. I wanna make some cream or whatever. Evan, shout out your cream, man, so we can support you. That's cool. Yeah, I forget what the name of it's called. I looked it up, I'm not gonna say any of the other people

just in case it's not theirs. I'll not going to say any of the other people just in case. It's not theirs. I'll recognize it. All right. You go on Amazon, you type in wild yam cream. I don't know what it does. It's a first result. Really good branding. It's the brand is called Human Roots. Really? And if you click through the product images, you see

a beautiful family, family owned small business. That's them. Oh, there it is. I was like, it was not my first result. What's that tell us? I don't know. Anyway, it's kind of fun. Support him. Unofficial sponsor. That's cool. Yeah. Shout out. And then we ended the night by doing our unrecorded podcast.

Yes. From the balcony. Yeah, I thought that went so well. It was great. I thought it was so fun. Yeah, we didn't have to necessarily scream. Nope. But just kind of like talk loudly.

People really respected us, yeah, and just listened. Yeah, everybody's quiet. Yeah, people ask a lot about time and can we get T on C here? Face timing. T on FT. Yeah. There was some Canada chants or some USA chants.

That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Like somebody said something about Canada and all the Canada people started chanting. And then I think it was Colin Tim. I don't know who it was. Somebody was just like, well, let's start the USA chant and dominated Canada.

Yeah. You don't want to start a Canada, Canada champ when you're surrounded by 80% Americans in America. Oh, a hundred percent. Took a straw poll of if Jake's ear was at the acupuncture thing is going to work. Yeah, we did take a poll. It was pretty split. It seemed like, like half and half in the room. I think the type of people who are gonna buy wild yam cream

believe in it. Could be, yeah. But like 60% did not. Yeah, I'll go ahead and say Samuel Carmel is the one person I remember that said no. So Samuel, you're gonna be publicly wrong here in a few weeks, brother. Who knows?

Yeah, I'm calling it. You're gonna be good. One more week. Yeah. And we know. But yeah, the Q&A was great. Yeah, it was great. I cried at one point, which is. That be good. One more week. Yeah. And we know. Yeah, the Q and A was great. Yeah, it was great. I cried at one point, which is.

That was good. Thanks. You know, I wonder if some of them are like, I'm gonna try to make Brad cry this weekend. I'm gonna ask him a question where he has a crying. I bet I can make Brad cry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I bet he'll cry here.

But yeah, I don't know. It was just, everything was great. I mean, a few just massive eruptionsptions like during the Q and A, like, when I said I'm not, or yeah, I wasn't trying to like, have some kind of crazy speech or some cool moment. Yeah. I was just explaining my like five year plan. Someone asked me what my five year plan was. I was like, well, that it, that it, this could happen. This could happen. This is going well.

This is taking a turn, whatever. But I think no matter what, like Friday Pickleball and Ghostrunners are not going anywhere. And I didn't even, I was like, my tone of voice was like, I was trailing away, like Ghostrunners is like, not going anywhere. And they're like, yeah! Dude, yeah, it was like we were at a fricking, like,

political rally or something, and they were like, queued up to yell. Like, it was just like, like, it was like people were at a fricking like political rally or something and they were like Cued up to yell like it was just like like it was like people were banging on drums or something I don't know where they got the drums, but it felt like people were going absolutely bonkers immediately in hindsight I was like dang it. I should have said that cooler. Yeah, and I known you guys were gonna react their way I'm like and no matter what I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving ghost runners. They're going nowhere It was it was like that scene from wolf of wall street where he's like, I'm not effing leaving. And they just go nuts. Yeah. It was like that, but I didn't know I was talking like that. It was awesome. So eruption for that eruption when we just asked for recognition towards Main Street Roasters and how much work and wonderful, I don't know. I just love recognizing

the people that do such a good job putting on these events like Natalie Calvert in Branson, Haley Miller in Napinney. It was just like, it was like, yes, they are awesome. They deserve all this praise. And so people are just so quick to support the people that we have been supported by. So just really thankful for that. And, um, good amount of husbands who came and by good amount, I mean, probably like between five and 10 different husbands who are like, don't know you guys, but my wife loves you. That was sweet. Yeah good for you guys. Like yeah, there was a there's a couple they're like

Yeah, we have four kids. This is like a pretty rare date night for us I was like, well, I hope it's worth it man, cuz you don't know me at all. Yeah, you've heard of me you know in the background sometimes but Yeah, it seemed there were a lot of good husbands, a lot of babies, which I loved. Good amount of babies. Yeah, fun babies. Emily's babies, middle name is Ellis. And she's like, and I'm not, it's not because of you.

But I wonder if maybe there's like a subconscious part of me. But I do love the podcast. So maybe. Isaac's like, it's not because of him at all. Yeah, there was cool. There was a Charlie Henry and a Charlie Ellis. So I'm just saying makes you think you wonder and they were both older than Henry. So no, I'm just kidding. Um, I think last like, you know, summary or thing I could think of to say,

uh, was what Janelle Coza. Yes. Is that how you pronounce it? No, it's Coza. Coza. It is Coza, I had it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I always in my head, because obviously it's not this Italian, Cozza.

But then I get in my head, I'm like, how do I? It's Coza and Cuco, I don't, I'm never gonna be confident on those. Yeah. Well, they're older ladies, so it doesn't really matter. I mean, we have to respect the elderly, you know? Yep, we do. Brad and I had gotten done with the 9 a.m. VIP session

and are walking down the stairs. And there's a lot more people on Mates Roasters than we first got up there. It's kind of a swarm of like, whoa, look at all these people. Some might be ghosty, some aren't, I don't know. But right there, we know Janelle, she's our Ukrainian ghosty. She used to work in Bolivar.

Like we just, we know her from the podcast. And I guess we both individually were like, Janelle, what's up? And then kind of kept walking or whatever. And very tiny moment in the day. And then she stuck around afterwards to tell us just like, she's like, this is what's so cool about the podcast. Like when you guys said hi to me, I felt known.

And that's what makes this thing so special. It's like you give these people the ability of feeling known. Like when you greet everyone at the door and really made it seem like we'd put more thought into our actions than we did. I was like, oh, I'm not even thinking through these things but that's really cool to hear that. Yeah, yeah.

Somebody now, of course, I can't remember who it was. I think it was Claire and her boyfriend, Evan, I believe is his name. Great. This guy's like, cause they go to Grace College and I was like, oh, do you guys know Libby? And they're like, you remember Libby's name? I was like, yeah, when I talk to somebody,

I'm trying to like actually like care about what I'm talking about with them. Tough though, we had at least two Libby's and two Lindy's. So good job. Multiple, yeah, certain names. So, but yeah, I'm like, I love the idea of, if whoever, fill in the blank, knew my name when I like left talking to them, you know,

like if Patrick Mahomes all of a sudden, you know. Go ahead, Brad's a woodworker. Hey Brad. It's like, what, you know me? You know, and I'm not saying I'm Patrick Mahomes, I'm just saying like, that's a small thing that makes a huge difference in somebody's life. So.

Brad told me something I never heard before. He said, why don't we try to treat people the way we would want to be treated? Yeah, it blew your mind. And I said that with my mouth tape on. So. Who would say that? Who would say that?

Who would say that? Never forget it. Good idea, man. And then you zipped up your bag and left. Mm-hmm. That was my pants. Yeah. So. Blew my mind. It was, it was a good, um, yeah, it's something

I came up with one day. I was it. I was journaling and just, you know, is that transitive property? I think where it's like treat people equals the way you want to be treated. A plus A equals, Hey, B and C. Here's some trans rights. I'll get behind. That's the original trans right. Trans rights I'll get behind. That's right. The original trans right. Man so yeah. Hey healing waters is here. Oh bueno bueno. Hola hearing waters Sound like I said hearing waters. Yeah, I did I wondered why he threw that in there. Hearing. No, it's how some people have it speech I'm having trouble healing you. Hey Hello hearing waters. I don't know if this is a good thing

to do or not. Hey, we're sponsored by healing waters.org. They're fantastic. They're providing first world solutions to third world problems specifically within the realm of clean water. There are so many people out there. There's 3 billion people out of what? The seven and a half, I don't know how many people live on the earth now, but 3 billion people still lack basic hand washing facilities at home. And nearly 75% of the population in least developed countries lack hand washing facilities with soap and water. So, they're a real problem.

They're doing an amazing thing here. They're trying to do a holistic approach to the whole thing, not just give them clean waters, clean water, you know, say we're good here. See you later. We dug your well figured out. They're trying to transform these people's lives and communities physically, socially, economically, spiritually, all of it together. So if you want to get on board and doing some serious good for these people by providing them clean water in a holistic, wonderful way that's going to change people's entire lives. Go to give.healingwaters.org slash ghost runners and donate today. We would really appreciate it. And I truly am very confident in saying that it will go towards changing the world for the better.

Yeah, they're a good company. I mean, they obviously bring in some of their employees and some of their infrastructure and knowledge, these villages, but then once they get there, they hire locally, they hire the people there who need jobs and they empower them and employ them to help build these water facilities as well. So it's all good. It's all good, baby.

Check them out. Give.healingwaters.org Slash Ghostrunners. Do it. Do it. Yeah, it was a great end of the night. By the end of it, I felt my eyelids being tired and I didn't feel that way the whole

time. But then once it's over, it's like, Oh, shut down. Like it's a computer. It's like you're done. It's over. We did. Yeah. We got in the car because the event ended at nine.

We stayed till probably 10, 15. I just out on the sidewalk in the cold just talking to more ghosties. It was awesome. And we finally get in the car and we got about 30 minute drive home. And I was like, I wonder if this is going to be just like a silent car ride. Of course, it wasn't. No, we podcast for a living. We're friends. Obviously, we talked to the whole time.

Sure. Stop at Taco Bell is great. I think I remember at one point, the speed limit where we were driving was like 45. I was like, speed limit's 45, but I don't wanna go that fast. I only have the energy to go 30. I was going like a solid 39 the whole time. Like I'm fine, this is great.

That's you know, it's been a long day. Like I can't even muster up my engine to give it its all. And I truly did not feel tired the entire time. And then all of a sudden it was like, it's like your phone will operate on 1% the same way it's going to be at 99. But once it's at zero, it's at zero. Yeah. So anyway, just so thankful to the ghosties.

Thanks for everybody that came. Timon, you were missed. But people still had a really good time. So I don't know how much you were missed. Um, no, but it was in Main Street Roasters. Shout out Main Street Roasters. Man, they are a blessing. And if like the whole town of Napanee is just cool, man.

Like that whole like square, like I would, I would spend a day there. Like just exploring. Apparently there was a really good ice cream shop down the road. Yeah. Um, this is the Merc of course. I heard people, ghosties were telling me like they were walking around all day and they overheard like some people of the town being like, what's going on today? Why are all these people here? Like all we had to do is do like a small podcast

meetup. And we took over the town. It was awesome. It really was awesome. Anytime I was out and about walking around, they're just ghosties everywhere. Yeah. Saying hi to me from across the street, you know It was just pretty cool. It's a great town and Main Street Roasters The actual location is so cool. Like I would go there every day. I want to go sometime. Yeah, it's so nice So all the outlets. Yeah, that's nice.

We need to do something there.

We have so many fans there. We get to Mace Your Oatsers. We've been there five minutes. Barely even talked to any ghosties yet. We're just in line, kind of waiting to be told what to do.

But yeah, it was like I knew from the start, I was like, I just knew there were like three different

It I'm trying to think of any like highlight things I Don't know it was good good time. What are these um give us some more info on these young people church meetups are you? Where do you sleep?

At someone's house a host family at that goes to the church that you're like going to okay How many people we talk um this was a small one I want to say 20 to maybe a little over 20. Okay, like small coming. Ah 20 to 30. I don't know. I'm not 20 to 30 things teens Yeah, like teen ish Like people like coming there are people going with their parents or they teens driving themselves teens driving themselves Did you drive anyone else there? Yeah, I drove Or like my sister and I were kind of like the I guess drivers of the group. Yeah, we took a couple Siblings and a couple others from KC fun. Yeah, how much?

Flirting goes on at these things are people there. I'm sure they're teens Brad. Oh, we remember when we were teens Jake We do. You know, it's a church event. Yeah. You got a lot of people looking to get married soon. I'd say not much. I think it's pretty respectable interactions. Yeah.

Well, you can still flirt and be respectable. Well, yeah. Brad, show time in how you flirt respectfully example that's not far face How do I flirt be respectable Let's think I I've tried so hard recently not to flirt you know ten years only flirt with one woman And it's not timing Catherine yeah, got it. How do it. Hattie sometimes, you know, a little bit. Just joking around, like.

You could, you could invite a girl you're crushing on to sit next to you. No, no, here you go. Oh, go ahead, sorry. And then you mess with her. Come sit here, come sit here. Oh, I was just kidding. That's her, my girlfriend. That's that's flirting. Yes. That's

good. And then gaslight her into thinking you were into her. Oh yeah. No, I think you're, you're playing mafia or whatever they call it. Ninja. Yeah. Okay. We'll go mafia. We'll go mafia. All right. Townspeople wake up and then you look around and it's like, she's got that look on her face. I know you you're doing something. I can read you I can read. Yes, you're you're tricky That's good. And then she's like, I think I want to marry that guy Like slow down easy is that yep. I like the mafia style Yeah, townspeople wake up It was her

She's too. She's too pretty to make it through the night. They would have killed her first thing. I could tell those brown eyes. They got some mischief behind them. Yep. Mafia. Basically just, you can only flirt with mafia. It has to be mafia or spoons.

Yeah. We played spoons. See? Oh yeah. Big little two people already engaged. Let your hand linger there a little bit when you grab that spoon. Yeah, you go after her hand more than the spoon. Huge, huge fan of the fake grab on the spoon.

Oh, no one does it better. Oh, really? I invented the fake grab. That's it. I love the fake grab. Cause some people, well, you gotta, we should play spoons dude. Cause you gotta figure out what kind of people are you playing with?

Does the hard fake get them? Because some people, you bite on the hard count, you only do that a couple of times. Or you get them the first time. And then, yeah. And then the next time, because when it's time to grab a spoon, how do you actually grab it?

As sneaky as possible. So I like my fake grabs to also be as sneaky as possible. It's okay if they don't even see three out of a four of my fake grabs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the one out of four they see like, that looks exactly like, oh, he faked me. Yep.

I think you gotta consider not just the hands, but also the head. Well. I look around a little bit before I fake grab. I just remembered my go-to move. Yeah. He invented this, Brad. Sorry, yeah, I invented this. This is my go-to move. Yeah, he invented this, Brad. Sorry, yeah, I invented this. This is my go-to move.

I almost forgot. Because if you're playing in like a force, I'm like, it's easy to kind of see like everyone's hands. It's all very close. So what you do is you like very hurriedly grab a card and then fake grab all in one exaggerated motion. Okay. Because it looks exactly how it looks when it's time to grab a spoon.

So like, I didn't even need that king. I'm collecting sevens, I don't even need it. But I'm just gonna like discard it and grab it and then fake grab and all that'll get people every time. You have to grab a card and then fake grab the spoon. That's the move. That's my go-to. For a while, I was real into spoons in fourth grade.

And what was her name? Lauren Campbell. Yeah, no one plays spoons on a girl. Oh yeah, Lauren and Jenna. It was a little bit of a love triangle and Rachel Mustang, you wish. No, she was crushing on Mike. So, but.

Weeby. No, Schneider. Okay. Mike Weeby would have been way better. Anyway, I didn't even try to get, I didn't even try to get four. I literally would just take one, discard. Take one.

You're just there to grab the second spoon. I was a second spooner. That's my friend Johnny, he was there. I think that was a second spooner. He's not even looking. Yeah. The grassy knoll. The grassy knoll for the second spooner.

So that's one, that's one strategy I have. That is a good strategy. Cause then I'm never inundated in the cards. I'm always- Your second spooning. I've always had, they've always said I've had quick hands. Yep. That's how you flirt right there.

You know, they say I have quick hands, right Lindsay? Okay. So all that to be said, did you see a lot of flirting this weekend? No. Dang. Couldn't see it cause he was doing it himself. Didn't have a mirror around.

Didn't have a mirror. Sorry. Couldn't see it because because he was doing it himself Spoons I'm glad the spoons alive and well Yeah, you guys ever play out. What's go ultimate spoons? No It sounds fun. I don't know if I love it doesn't sound that fun. Well, it's like we're gonna hide the spoon So when you get four of a kind get up and start trying to find it, okay I've heard Johnny was telling me about this. Shout out Johnny. He's a great guy. He was there.

He was telling me about sometimes he's played like, I don't know if they're necessarily hidden but just like scattered around the room. Okay. That does sound kind of fun. It sounds- Talking about a fake though. You have four different cards. You're running around the house turning over cushions. Got you guys.

Gotcha. I would do it. Would you do it? See, I'm all about the, I love the gamesmanship, but the fake grab and everything. I don't want to be moving around trying to find things. I will say, not yet. Non-ultimate was just fine. I didn't like need more. I was a big fan of when we played charades back in the day. You know, you're sorry, not straight sardines. You're like, sorry, sorry. I'm trying to find one person. Oh, you just start hiding.

Love it, dude. Every move. And then after like five minutes, you're like, you know, the person that you're supposed to find is James and Jay. You're like, wait, is James here? James isn't even here, guys. Yeah. Well, what are we doing hiding here?

Yeah, you start hiding. Other people hide with you. And then like 10 minutes go by and you're the first to leave like how I'm Just gonna go check and make sure there's still people looking for us And then you end up and then now you have like free rain to go find James Yeah, a lot of gamesmanship here a lot of Jamesmanship Rachel has some hacks for us heads up seven up I don't quite remember them now. So I don't remember how to play that me neither It's like everyone has their head down on their desk. Is there a thumb involved?

There is a thumb. Okay. It's a green, it's a gardening game. Everyone's got their soda. Yeah, I think everyone's heads are down. One person is the head gobbler, I think, and they're like walking around the room. Does everyone have their thumb up and they put your thumb down? Maybe they put one person's thumb down?

They put one person's thumb down? They put one person's thumb down. Okay. And then you grab a spoon, what happens next? I don't know, I've only played a few times, but I remember thinking, this is the greatest game of all time, when I played as a kid. I can't believe I can't remember how to play Heads Up 7 Up.

I do remember everyone's eyes are closed. I remember my arm being on my forearm, or my head being on my forearm, so I couldn't even kind of look. Couldn't even see their shoes. Oh, I think that's one of Rachel's hacks is yeah, you scoot yourself down the desk, so your eyes are open and you look at their shoes.

Oh, so her hack is a cheater. Rachel's a little cheater. Yeah, I think that's it now. So my hack is like, you know how you're not supposed to be able to see them? Like I just see them. I would just look at them. So the idea is like you're trying to guess who

whose thumb got put down or who put your thumb down. I guess if it's a big deal to see their shoes. Yeah. I swear she has some sort of a hack with like, oh, I know it's Marco Polo. She's got a good Marco Polo hack too. Where you like We talked about this on the podcast like two weeks ago.

That's why it feels so fresh in my mind. Yeah. I'll shut up. No, it's a great. Yeah, go ahead and say no Yeah, oh man, well, I'm glad that your time was good timing. Yeah, that's good next one we do Let's try to make you get there better sure Reviews of the week Yes, great. I got one Haley Herman Reviews of the week? Yes. Great, I got one. Hayley Herman. Good person.

and so full of joy and love. I'm not an OG ghosty, sadly, but the worst part is that I could have been. Back in early 2020, I heard young scallywag Jake on Trey's podcast, then soon found Big Daddy, or shall I say String Bean Wink Face, on this little podcast not about ghosts but a lot about football. The first episode I listened to was all about it so I was like, eh, not my almost jam and moved on. I wish I could turn

back time and give it another shot. Even though I'm just a young babe ghostie a little over a year, I feel like I've been friends with you guys forever now. I'm so thankful that I have the privilege to listen to two besties and time in, making the most out of everyday life in a godly yet humorous way. I could say so much more on what this pod means to me, but I'll just leave it with thank you. Thank you.

Sincerely, Hayley Herman. Thanks, Hayley. That's so nice. So nice. They're great. Herman's a great people. Great people. Incredible people, wonderful people over there.

Oh, mine is just from Cordy Keyboard User, five star review. The title is Good Podcast. And the review is Love Your Podcast. Oh, they think it's great. Yes, it's gas. Yeah, and they love it. No, Love Your Podcast, Good Podcast. Yeah, so thank you for that

Total gas would you like to end this episode with a jingle? I sure would Jake. Let me find it real quick Who's this one written by that's what I'm trying to find. What's their name though? I could find it on my phone just fine What in the world? What the heck? I got it guys. I'll find it. I shook it. I shook it. I'll just use my phone. Hey, what's wrong with using your phone? What's wrong with it? I don't know. All right. This one is by Ted Sheets. Ever heard that name? I don't think I have either. He's a freak in the music sheets.

What in the world? Oh, it's because it was sent to a different email than the one I'm looking from. What's the song? I'm not telling you. Great. No, I will say this. I'm not telling you. Great. No, I will say this. I'm not going to tell the song.

It's a fun song. It's a little bit of a mystery. But the thing that everyone knows about the song is like the last 30 seconds. I didn't realize that it was only 30 seconds of the song that everyone knows. I'm trying to think what song I know by only the last 30 seconds. I mean, you know the rest of the song, but like the iconic part of the song is like barely even part of the song. Also, I think that this guy's voice, the original singer is one of the most underrated voices of our time. Okay. All right. Here we go. Bring it. Ted Sheets wrote a mainstream roasters jingle. So it's perfect to sing it on a mainstream roasters week.

Mainstream roasters day. Timon, I'm going to forward you this one just in case you want to So it's perfect to sing it on the major rosters week. It shows your day Timon I'm gonna forward you this one just in case you want to Get in there brother sounds great. I don't know how well, you know the song but I'm a for to Jake do all right. I get to read along Just in case All right All right, I'm looking. I'm refreshing. What? Refresh it. There it is.

Oh, no instrumental. I texted it to you. Oh, my bad. Like before the episode started. I'm so sorry. No, we just got some feedback recently. It was like, I've been listening to some old podcast compared to now. You guys are so much more polished.

Yeah. We just time. It took all the polish off. Time and got pneumonia in the. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It was like, I've been listening to some old podcasts compared to now, you guys are so much more polished now. Yeah, we just, Tymon took all the polish off. Tymon got pneumonia and the, yeah. He coughed, he coughed all over the polish. Ha ha ha.

Don't stop. Good job, Brad. Good job, Ted. Good job, Tymon. You adjusted the volume a couple times there? I did. That was good. Ted Sheets, what a guy. Out of nowhere. Is this a pen name? What if?

God bless Ted with 2Ds. You think anybody has that name just because now? Shout out to these two days. Cool. Yeah. Is that an interesting song, though? Like, don't stop believing is like the thing that everyone knows. And it's only like the last 30 seconds of the song. I mean, everyone knows the rest of it, too.

But like, that is interesting. Like, that's what you kind of like you assume over my getting your head or something. Yeah, it's like the chorus and they sing it like three different times throughout the song. It's like, no. I didn't realize that. Yeah, it's only at the end. As I was listening to it this morning, preparing for this,

I was like, oh snap. Wow. That's interesting. Cause the first verse, what does it build to? Yeah, it's not a very traditional song. Like it's like, it kind of has a chorus, but it's almost like the choruses are just like guitar solos. The street lights part is kind of a chorus,

but obviously it doesn't say don't stop believing it. But that's kind of the fun, happy part. Maybe that's why it's such a good song is because it's like continuing to just build up to this one boom. I don't know. It's an anthem, man. It's fun though.

Steve Perry, is that his name? Great. Great vocalist. Tyler Perry. Great. Madea. Great Madea. Great Madea. Thanks for listening to this episode. We'll be back Wednesday.
