Starting point is 00:00:00 what up what up everybody episode four of the ghost runners podcast jake brad two microphones here we are episode four i can't believe it we have made it look at us uh how are you brad i'm doing well man just uh recovering from a long weekend of flooding and just wild times we were in the tornadoes last night yeah um we were like right on the cusp of really being nervous like we actually went into like the serious tornado room last night how many different tornado rooms do you have well we have a basement that we're in right now we have urgent a urgent b urgent yes if it's urgency don't even have to read it might as well just not just throw it away uh no we have the basement and like the main living room that we're in right now where we were watching tv and stuff but it was like it was saying shawnee kansas 719 it is coming
Starting point is 00:00:49 so we went into the room that has like you know just only cement around it in the storage room back gotcha so that was serious tornado yeah like it was no comfort at all we were like just nervous so everything ended up okay but it was definitely as a kansan the the most nervous i've ever been really for a nigger i mean we always you know they go off the sirens go off we're like outside looking at it my dad and i especially my dad you know always looking outside my mom's downstairs but this time it was like i was my mom and katherine was like the chill one katherine was like cracking jokes and i'm like katherine we need to like go wow she's like oh no i'll just i gotta go up i'm cooking the chicken you know but I'll be right back down
Starting point is 00:01:28 I'm like Catherine there's a tornado like do you see this tornado going on but maybe she never saw Twister as a kid growing up surely they can do surely she did not you gotta get Dorothy out there with those Pepsi Pepsi shards right exactly great movie Helen Hunt it was a great movie we watched it in uh like fourth or fifth grade. Good. As a supplement to whatever we were learning. Like instead of watching the video about your changing bodies, you watched Twister? No, we did watch that one.
Starting point is 00:01:53 We watched that one. That one was called Just Around the Corner. Not joking. I still remember the jingle. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Just around the corner. Oh, like puberty is just around the corner? Yeah, just coming right around.
Starting point is 00:02:04 And it had a jingle? Oh, yeah. Kansas public schools were very very different i remember telling my parents about it kind of innocently like just like yeah we watched this video they had this jingle and my parents still to this day remember that that jingle so why is it such a why do you remember the jingle i i because i think we've made jokes about it for years on end now how does it go real quick just around the corner. Something like that. I think it's, I don't, I don't remember very well anymore.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Just around the corner. Yep. I don't remember what they say after that. Man, I was wanting to know what rhymed with puberty. That's where I was going with it. I was really curious what rhymed. No, I don't know. I just remember, you know, all the boys were laughing the whole time.
Starting point is 00:02:44 It was, we split it up, boys and girls, you know, all the boys were laughing the whole time. We split it up, boys and girls. You know, all the boys watched the boys one. And then I remember the next year it was like you watched the girl one or whatever. What? Oh, yeah. You didn't have to watch the girl one. We didn't get to watch the girl one. I'm still curious what the girls video has in it.
Starting point is 00:02:58 I can't believe you got to watch it. Oh, boy. Don't be that curious. Honestly, I didn't. I don't know. I didn't learn that much is what I was going to say. But, yeah. I mean, everything in be that curious. Honestly, I didn't, I don't know, I've never, I didn't learn that much is what I was going to say. But, yeah, I mean, everything in the boys one, but just the girls, girl version. Huh.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Did they have the same title? Or like, was it like, was it still in the Just Around the Corner franchise? I think, yeah, it had some kind of angle to it. So I think, no, I'm just kidding. I don't know. No, I don't remember anything about Just around the corner volume two remastered just around the corner volume two for the ladies rematch no it was uh good times man yep wow that's cool the late the public schools usd 233 well how did we get how did we get to there from tornadoes start from uh you said
Starting point is 00:03:47 supplementing we watched yeah yeah you said we supplemented that video instead of something else we were learning oh man i was uh here we are i had a lot of fun watching the storm rolling last night because i live on the third floor of a house now could you see it really well kind of i went to get my drone out because i was like what a sweet way to chase the storm with a drone and then the second i got it out it started sprinkling a little bit and i was like uh this is not this is a sign this is not smart they're pretty and like one like strong like straight line wind would just take it down probably yeah how how uh intense does the wind have to be for a drone to i don't know you know if it's like decently breezy breezy then you won't get very like smooth footage but as far as like, this is strong enough to just take it to the ground,
Starting point is 00:04:27 I don't know how strong that would have to be. Because they were saying 80 mile an hour winds last night, something like that. It was coming towards you. It was. Yeah. But then it never came. It barely even got windy. I stayed outside.
Starting point is 00:04:40 If you want to imagine Lieutenant Dan on the boat, I was on top of my house screaming at god is that all you got um with your shirt off and a bandana uh no but yeah i was like really i probably was outdoors for an hour straight just watching the storm and it never like even got windy did you follow it on the news i was following on my phone yeah i was following it we have tv here then i was on my computer and my phone like three different why is that command central i mean once you have kids and a wife i think like this is the first time since we've been married that anything serious
Starting point is 00:05:14 like this has happened i was so different like if i were single i'd probably do exactly what you were doing but like i just felt so responsible yeah i was like katherine if something happens to us because we don't go in the serious tornado room then it's my fault real bad right so yeah let's not we can no longer stay in the non-serious room gotta get to the serious one all jokes are off yeah we get in there and you don't smile all right how was hattie during everything that was the other thing is that hattie was honestly like, yeah, it's just one more thing that she's a handful kind of, you know. It was right during dinner time. So we brought our food down here and she wasn't really wanting to eat what we had. And so Catherine was trying to force her to eat what we had.
Starting point is 00:05:56 And I was like, is this the right time to force her to eat what we have? And we needed to be doing this right now. You know, like I understand the principle of it. But eventually we just kind of resorted to we brought Catherine's phone into the serious room and played some magic school bus for her. And she calmed down just fine. I still remember some magic school bus episodes. I remember when they went real small and got in the bloodstream.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Yep. Learned about the blood cells there. Yep. White and red. So I don't know what they do. Yeah. I know one's quite a bit more valuable and better for you. Honestly,
Starting point is 00:06:24 like magic school bus always breaks things down really well, but I still don't really understand them. Like while I watch with Hattie, sometimes I'm like, that sounds really simple. You don't understand it. I mean, I'm just not a good science person. I was never, never have been. And I mean, I kind of understand it, but not really. Science is hard for me because you have to like accept things that don't really make sense to you if that or at least for me you have to trust a lot of things you can't see exactly like gravity physics microorganisms yeah blood cells just even germs i know have you ever
Starting point is 00:06:55 been on a mission trip where like they have to teach people what germs are no we we did that i don't know in trinidad i think and it seems kind of like funny at first but it's like yeah like why would people know yeah about things that you can't see? So we would teach them with glitter because glitter sticks to everything. And so that's how you, like, you put it on your hands and then you, like, touch someone else and it's on them. It's like, see? Like, it spreads. There you go.
Starting point is 00:07:18 You do not want to know what we use. Never mind. To teach them. Yeah, we brought them just around the corner too just around the corner glitter edition oh man that's funny so i've been doing some more jokes lately um i've been telling you a little bit about that yeah you've been kind of uh just starting your own subsidiary of jake and brad's joke telling company i'm, I'm all about
Starting point is 00:07:45 telling jokes with you or not with you. I'm just trying to get my paper however I can and they keep saying, yeah, well you can send us more jokes and so I have. If you missed our first episode, Brad and I made a little bit of money a couple months ago off Craigslist writing essentially Laffy Taffy jokes for this children's book
Starting point is 00:08:02 and since then Brad has been on a rampage. How many jokes have you written and how much money have you made? I think I've made over $2,000 now. So I think we calculate that out to be around 400 plus just very mediocre kids jokes. Wow. Yeah, I know. It's pretty wild. Probably two months.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Yeah. So the most recent one, they said, can you please give us 50 jokes with the animal theme? Like, so anything. Oh, that's your sweet spot. Yeah. Which is what I do almost anyway. And so, but I got a few rejections. I'm going to try to, well, I think I remember off the top of my head.
Starting point is 00:08:34 One of them wasn't that inappropriate. They just said, oh, we don't know if little kids are going to understand this. It was. Try me. Why did the chicken, why did the, I don't know exactly the wording, but why did the chicken student did the i don't know exactly the wording but why did the chicken student get in trouble at school um something egg something peck something i don't know what is it it was using foul language okay nice foul language so that was the one that um i was like okay i guess kids don't understand that foul i don't know okay um but the one that i did understand why they said no that's
Starting point is 00:09:11 too adult uh i felt like such a bad boy for getting rejected by these by the children's yeah uh for too adult of a joke it was what is the curviest animal in the desert uh my first thought was like anything located in Djibouti oh there you go in why do you say in that's okay oh well I mean like inside of the country I guess I could have done it better I was trying to think like any animal in Djibouti okay hold on hold on let me think wait what the question? What is the curviest animal in the desert? Oh, man. The curviest. This is adult, Brad.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Jeez. I feel so slimy. Not as adult as saying in Djibouti. Look, that was one second trigger time to think about something clever. The answer. Are you ready for it? I can't think of anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:00 The answer is Camel Anderson. Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty good. Because camels have curves and as does Camela. Yeah, that's double. Is Camela Anderson. Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty good. Because camels have curves and as does Pamela. Yeah, that's double. Yeah. Bars.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Anyway. Camela Anderson. That's pretty good. I thought so. I mean, it works on two levels. The animal with curves. Yeah. Camela Anderson.
Starting point is 00:10:18 And so sometimes I think of jokes, I'm like, that's not that good. But I send them in anyway, just in case. Sometimes they love them. Sometimes they're like, no, that's not that good but i send them in anyway just in case sometimes they love them sometimes they're like no it's not good enough so are they still giving scores based on a 10 digit scale but only giving you five eight or ten uh i feel like they're like i haven't noticed too much about the exact numbers because i honestly just look at the ones i get rejected most of the time but i never have gotten a 10 um and, and I certainly, I, I have never gotten lower than a five. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Five and lower is, you know, rejected and you have to get something new. I remember that too. It was out of 10, but I never saw, I only saw like three different numbers to pick. And then whenever,
Starting point is 00:10:56 like they'll say, you know, you got five that you have to redo and then I'll send them in and they never make me redo the new five ever. Oh really? Yeah. That's great. So anyway, what a nice little side ever. Oh, really? Yeah. That's great. So anyway. What a nice little side hustle.
Starting point is 00:11:08 I know. Writing jokes. Genuinely, it has been a blessing. So thank you for finding that for me. Yeah, you're welcome. I'm going to take a finder's fee at some point. Maybe so. Genuinely, I'm like, all you have to do is find this thing.
Starting point is 00:11:20 And there's probably other opportunities like that out there that we're just missing. Trayvon's told me about secret shopper stuff. Have you probably other opportunities like that out there that we're just missing travis told me about uh like secret shopper stuff have you ever done anything like that oh i know what it is but i've never yeah i've never done it either i signed up on one website to do it because he was uh asked me where i got my haircut and i was like oh you know great clips or whatever and he's like there's like secret shopper stuff where you can get you know a free haircut just to tell someone how your haircut was and so like that would be worth it like i don't want to go out of my way to like hey can you grocery shop for an hour and earn 20 bucks or whatever but if it's like something i'm already going to do anyway that could be kind of nice except there's a huge risk i i don't like going to
Starting point is 00:11:56 people's haircuts that i don't know like hairdressers going and watching someone get their haircut no no i don't i get how that could be weird i don't like like i won't i won't go to great clips really i think my hair people hairdressers have told me that i have asian hair not joking i've never heard this before like this one girl was like thought it was like so offensive to tell me this so she was like she like kind of whispered i was like okay like don't like say this too loud like you have like asian hair i'm like what does that mean why is that call me yeah why is that why is that a insult first of all yeah if that's truly like an objective thing you can say then but i think it just means i have very straight fine hair congrats so i guess
Starting point is 00:12:38 if someone cuts it the wrong way there's like layers in it and so i don't go to places that don't really know how to cut men's hair specifically which great clips i guess probably has more men than women but like you don't i don't go to a salon or anything like that so now i go to like i go to a barber shop like an asian barber yeah really his name is ming the master no i'm just kidding no i i go to bill, Village Hairstyling. Shout out. He's the man. He's a listener, probably.
Starting point is 00:13:09 He's probably listening. Bill, we love you. Every single time I call Bill, I say, hey, Bill, this is Brad Ellis, without fail. He's like, you know, 65, 70 years old. Hey, Brad, how are you, buddy? Every time. Really? Same response?
Starting point is 00:13:20 Every single time. Hey, Brad, how are you, buddy? And I don't think he really understands who I even am. I don't think he genuinely remembers me because we only see each other maybe once every two months or less. But he does a good job of faking it. Yeah, but then I go there. I'm getting my hair cut. He's like, Brad, just a second.
Starting point is 00:13:38 I need to take this phone call. Hi, this is Bill. Hey, Andy, how are you, buddy? And I'm like, dang it, Bill. He's given the same treatment to everybody yeah but i love love going to the barber shop makes you feel like you're an old man which sometimes it is kind of fun to do things to step back into like older generations like i read a newspaper the other day yeah just just to feel cool you like flipped it open too
Starting point is 00:14:01 like yeah i rolled it up and just kind of swatted it in my hand for a little bit talked about teenagers yeah yeah how upset i was adam oh that's good yeah should we get on with our game today let's do it guys brad has prepared a game for us what will you come up with the name on the fly for it this one's called zippity oh hold on that just reminded me i was gonna say zippity doodah and then uh quote of the week i filmed two weddings this weekend uh or i filmed one and i shot one with uh photography and uh the father of the groom at one wedding this weekend is is praying over the meal before the reception. Uh,
Starting point is 00:14:46 and, uh, yeah, it's just praying. He's like, it's at the end of his prayer. And then he's like, and lastly, God,
Starting point is 00:14:52 we just pray that these two people have a lot of fun tonight. Yeah, but Dabba do. Amen. Oh, such a weird note to end it on. I mean, not that that shouldn't be joked about.
Starting point is 00:15:04 I feel like that's such a classic wedding, you it on i mean not that that shouldn't be joked about i feel like that's such a classic wedding sure you know joke but like his enthusiasm being the father the bride had her father the groom i think had to make the bride feel a little oh boy and then the yabba dabba doo yeah it was great but yeah yabba dabba doo amen what did everyone like just go crazy like laughing or kind of i was more like looking around for people i could like make high contact with and be like you heard that right like you know how weird that was oh boy just stick just stay normal stay on par that's really funny yeah it's like okay obviously we know what's happening tonight but let's try let's not acknowledge it
Starting point is 00:15:43 in front of let's not be be too on the nose with it. Yeah, especially as the adult. Maybe as the best man or something. Yeah, that's more your place to do that. When I was... We'll come back to your game real quick. I was the best man once, and I'm proud of a joke I made in this genre that I'm going to say right now real quick. Because it was maybe the only time I'll get to give a best man speech.
Starting point is 00:16:05 You never know. But if anyone's out there, feel free to steal this joke and use it. It works for anyone. You say something like, you know, this is really great. I'm really honored to be the best man and give this talk today.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I don't even know if I'm Alex's best friend. I think he just wanted me to give a speech, whatever. But he has no idea what I'm going to say. You know, these next three minutes are going to be the scariest part of his day. Cause he has no idea what I'm gonna say you know these next three minutes are gonna be the scariest part of his day because he has no idea what you know I really build this up these three minutes are so scary and I say however the scariest or the worst three minutes of Aaron's day are gonna be
Starting point is 00:16:35 later on tonight oh boy crowd went wild oh man I'm sure they did I'm sure that she loved it too yeah I proved it with both of them beforehand. Oh, you did? Yeah. That's good. That's probably a disclaimer that you should always do that. Yeah. If you are going to use this joke that Jake has gifted you, just make sure you talk to the bride first.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Yeah. That's funny. But I started with that joke, and it went well. So then I just had him in the ball of my hand for the next, like, ten minutes. Just kidding. I don't think I spoke for 10 minutes, but it was great. Anyway, this game is going to be called Yabba Dabba Doo. Love it.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Yabba Dabba Doo. Tell us the rules. So it's pretty simple. I have different categories and I, beforehand, I looked at these categories or I did the categories and then we're going to have Jake do them live. But there's, I think, four different categories here. Okay. Don't look.
Starting point is 00:17:28 One, two, three, four, five. We have five categories. Great. Which is perfect because that way you can't end in a tie. And there's 15 seconds for each category and it's pretty simple. You are just going to choose or try to list as many things as you can in each category in 15 seconds like uh scategories is that you play scategories um i think scategories is more maybe like they
Starting point is 00:17:54 have to start with a certain letter or something whatever either way i understand how to play this game it's very similar to that but it's a speed thing which i guess that is too okay i guess this is just scategories no no no hey this is yabba dabba do baby okay round one yabba dabba do glitter edition no okay so around the corner that's that sounds like the polka on all right okay we talked about this around the river um so i will go ahead and say the category we will have jake. Then we'll give Jake 15 seconds to list as many as we can. I will be counting. And then we can compare to your. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Version. Just a quick disclaimer to you. Okay. It was kind of difficult to do all this on my computer by myself. Tried to have the honor system of 15 seconds. I probably took more like 16 and a half by the time i looked at the category went to press start on the timer so i'm going to give you just a little bit extra time i'll probably say here's the category you have 15 seconds go cool cool cool thank you so
Starting point is 00:18:56 we'll start out right here um oh i'm nervous yeah you have a dab of dew baby okay so the first category loser this game has to read the sponsor for today perfect perfect that is such a such a big consequence what a yeah what a terrible punishment okay you have 15 seconds things you throw away 15 seconds. Go. Paper plates. Food. Cups. Is this the route you went? Like, various different things. Napkins.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Old shoes. Frick. Why can't I think of things? That's 15 seconds? No, it wasn't. That was not 15 seconds. It's so much harder. Oh, man. Oh, I did really bad.
Starting point is 00:19:43 After I did it, I came down here. I told Jake. I was like, it is a lot harder than you think. Oh, I did really bad. After I did it, I came down here. I told Jake. I was like, it is a lot harder than you think. Oh, I did so bad. Okay. So you got five. Oh, and they weren't even good. That's the thing is like you have to like just.
Starting point is 00:19:56 I'm trying to gauge like, wait, is this like. Are these things I put in my trash can or are these like things I like get rid of? Right. Either way, I did bad. Oh, sure. Like throw away like, oh, I don't need that anymore kind of thing yeah yeah yeah okay so here's my likes oh here's here's my uh so you got five right there i'm gonna do better here are my i will do better i can do better what does he say michael scott in the speech i don't remember okay here we go. Okay, here we go. Here's what Brad said.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Banana peels, eggshells, drink cups after you've drunk them, toilet paper, Kleenex. Wait, so how many was that? Okay, so that was five. So we actually tied on that. Wow. But toilet paper you you don't throw that away where do you what do you mean you don't throw it away you like flush it i'm thinking of things wait what was the actual question things you things you throw away okay dang it i was thinking like things you put in the trash listen i would have had an argument there
Starting point is 00:21:00 are some there are definitely some uh gray areas in this game i like your clarification cups after you've drank them and i think i used it didn't say drank i think i said drunk after you drunk them it's a little bit more pressure than you think i know everyone listening is like wow these guys are morons oh yeah i can't believe i listen to them no absolutely it's like oh my gosh think about all these things and i could not think i was just trying to imagine my trash can which for the record i don't have toilet paper in my trash can but that would be weird but anyway um okay so five to five maybe we need to keep track of total score then because now we're gonna have a tie sure so it's five to five okay okay so the next category is are you ready yeah boys or men's names you have 15 great go john steve mark luke peter paul uh anthony tanner colin bradley steven uh drake
Starting point is 00:21:56 um billy time what was that last one tony tony. Okay. So you said Steve and Steven. Yeah. One's with a PH and then one's with a V. I'm going to give you, I'm not going to give you that. That's probably just one. So that was 13. I counted for you. That one was more fun.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Yes. Right. That one was. Yeah. Yeah. That for honestly, the first one was the hardest one. Okay. Good.
Starting point is 00:22:22 If that makes you feel better. You started laughing at the beginning. So I thought maybe I was just like, well, because I just drawing you first or something. hardest one for me. Okay, good, good, good. So if that makes you feel better. You started laughing at the beginning, so I thought maybe I was just like destroying you first or something. I don't know. No, just because I'm anticipating like the block. Like you think you're doing great, and then all of a sudden it's like, oh, man. All right, I'm out. Drake. You just say Drake.
Starting point is 00:22:38 All right, so here's my second answer here for boys' names. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Jacob, Schmidt, Brad, Winston, Nick, Michael, Kevin, Creed, Oscar, Jim. So I counted 14 for me. Oh my gosh. 13 for you. Oh my gosh. This is a lot closer than I thought. I thought I killed that.
Starting point is 00:23:09 I was like, Oh man, that was, I went the, uh, but you were also, you were also smart enough to just go through lists. Cause I know at the,
Starting point is 00:23:17 at first it sounded like you were doing your family names. You're doing Steve. Maybe just did I, Steve and Jake. I don't know. Did I even say Jake? I don't, I didn't even say my own name. I don and Jake. I don't know. Did I even say Jake? I didn't even say my own name. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:29 I don't know what. I didn't really have much of a plan there. I did Jacob, and then I thought of Jingleheimer, which is not a word, but Schmidt. You know that name? John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? Yes, that's what you're in. The New Girl Kick? Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:40 And then I went to the office because I was thinking of TV shows. All right, so I'm down one. One. Man, I thought I the office because I was thinking of TV shows. All right. So I'm down one. One. Man, I thought I would have more on you on this. I think you're going to kill me on this next one. Okay, good, good, good. Maybe I shouldn't say things like that, though.
Starting point is 00:23:53 No, build me up. Build me up. Well, I don't want to ruin the suspense of like maybe I didn't do that well or whatever. That's okay. Okay. Why don't you build me up? 15 seconds. Build me up.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Things at a beach. Go. Towel. Umbrella. Water. Sand. 15 seconds things at a beach go towel, umbrella, water sand, sunscreen flippers, snorkel goggles, girls, guys palm trees sharks, jellyfish
Starting point is 00:24:18 that was very good I think you got 13 I don't know if girls and boys really i didn't feel great about that yeah that was i mean things at the beach things are super vague pretty vague right could have listed off molecules that are in the air i i don't view girls as objects but that's just me so i'll do what i have to do to get the points so that was 13 okay let's listen's listen to what Brad said on this one. Beach ball, umbrella, towel, water bottle, sand castles, crabs.
Starting point is 00:25:04 That's all I got. Oh, wow. Yeah, I struggled. I struggled big time on that one what is it six um seven that was six on that one okay so now i'm up six yeah that one hurt wow you should go to the beach more i go to the beach every year can you believe it could you believe it based on that performance i had the same thought as you i was like do i just say like boys and girls and all these different sharks and or all these different fish but i was like i don't know if i should do that i don't know if you know you can't think too much in this game you gotta just say whatever you're thinking and then people like the judge can just deny you afterwards if you're sure anyway yeah it's like the joke writing company yes yeah let's give you
Starting point is 00:25:43 five okay that one really hurt because that was you had a high volume there minus six is gonna be tough to come back from um so this next one is 15 seconds christmas songs go oh no okay um little drummer boy okay um oh oh this is good for me it's it's may or june what month is it okay hold on um little drummer boy mistletoe oh yes we're back baby i froze a little bit oh no just around the corner but i really froze right when you said little drummer boy i knew you were sunk i don't know i couldn't think anything it is it is so much not on your mind in this time of year yes oh my gosh okay so here's uh oh gosh here's my rebuttal to that oh so jake got one that was so much harder than the trash can one i'm sorry okay so this was christ songs. Here's what I got.
Starting point is 00:26:52 It came upon a midnight clear, jingle bells, deck the halls, oh holy night, O come all ye faithful, harp the herald angels sing, joy to the world. Wow. What was the first one he said? It came upon a midnight clear? Huh. I have no idea why that's the first one that came into my head that's what i'm worried about um that was seven for me which i'm not trying to be like holy poetic justice yeah it's all tied up going down the very last category here um yeah no no score you know zero zero this is overtime, basically, right now. I hope that you don't get the same number as I do on this next one
Starting point is 00:27:27 or else it's just going to be very anticlimactic. We're going to have to tag team the sponsor. Yes. Okay, here we go. I'm going to do good as long as it's not Christmas themed. You're going to do great on this one. Catherine, will you help us count how many Jake gets? It's going to be a lot. You can help me. Get both hands ready.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Alright, here we go. So, 15 seconds to name as many a lot. You can help me. Get both hands ready. And I can't cut you off. All right, here we go. So 15 seconds to name as many school supplies as you can. Go. Oh, I was in a school earlier today. Pencil, blackboard, whiteboard, projector, desk, chair, notepad, clipboard, pencil, pen. Did I say those? I don't know. Eraser.
Starting point is 00:28:03 The thing you spray to get the thing off the whiteboard that i'm sorry okay i was i was getting oh oh man okay how many was that pencil twice 12 12 12 mama also i don't know if certain some of those are supplies maybe i guess they are when i think of school supplies i think of like things you go, you grab, yeah, before you go to school, like you have to go to Walmart and grab them. Gotcha. A projector. We never had to go grab those. You didn't provide your own projector?
Starting point is 00:28:32 We did not. Really? We did have to get our own overhead. I guess overhead projector, you know, I was kidding. Our own Elmo's. Okay. So that was 12. Some of those.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Yeah. I don't, I don't know if you said pen and pencil twice. I think I said pencil twice. Okay. Which is my is my bad literally i just came from a high school so and you did not just come from a christmas pageant so and it's no wonder you were better at that one little drummer boy that one is good oh man it's really fun to like watch the other person try to do it on the spot yeah that's the other thing maybe we should switch roles next time. I would like to see you struggle. Yeah, I think there's a little added pressure,
Starting point is 00:29:09 us being in the room with you when this happens. Okay, here's my school supplies. Pen, pencil, notepad, notebook, folder, binderpler eraser colored pencils crayons no no no okay compass and protractor notepad and notebook these are two different things yeah what totally notebook is like a spiral bound you know college rule notepad is like a you know something that you tear off from the top i don't know if notepad i mean using listen you said projector so every school uses that that's probably true either way you'll sit blackboard and whiteboard i did i like it both but you were hating on me for my notepad so
Starting point is 00:30:04 oh well those are two very different things based on the technology of your school. Some, you know. Laura Ingalls Wilder back in the day, she had a... Whiteboard, probably. Probably whiteboard, yeah. But the newer ones are going to have blackboards. Okay. Well, according to my numbers, I got 14 and you got 12.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Which I think would mean you won. Just around the pimp, pimp, pimp, pimp. All right. So, Jake, tell us about our sponsor for this week.

It was fun to put the pressure on. I laughed hard a few times during that game i was i felt real strong about boys names and then just so dumb about christmas
Starting point is 00:32:32 songs man that yeah it wasn't like i had anything on the tip of my tongue it was like none are coming like my my brain is blank is it just because it's so far out of your head like out of your memory it feels like something you'd ask Hey, who did you have for social studies in 11th grade? Like, Oh, I'm never going to get this. I have no idea. Yeah. Two things I want to talk to you about. Two recent conversations we've had that we need to talk more about.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Okay. I'll start with the, I think potentially very funny video sketch idea. Yesterday, was it? No, two days ago, Brad and I are eating chick-fil-a brad uh offers to pray for our meal and in the prayer he slips in like information about his life that i didn't know and just kind of casually slips it in and then afterwards he's like that could be like a funny thing yeah and i was thinking about more in the shower yesterday and i was like that actually could be really funny yeah like an actual like video like sketch where like a bunch of friends
Starting point is 00:33:24 around a table you know they pray for it and then someone takes the lead to pray and then like says something very passive-aggressive about someone like right and we just you know pray god that um stephanie would uh just start showing up on time a little bit better uh we know you call us to uh let her yes bs and just let her realize you know right so, it's kind of awkward or whatever. And then, like, the next, like, act of the video or whatever would be, like, Stephanie would be like, you know what? I'd like to pray.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Why don't I go ahead and pray, too? Can I pray? Can I pray for dessert? Like, yeah. Yeah. Like, pray for things. Actually, we didn't pray for the drinks. Can I pray for these refills?
Starting point is 00:33:58 Yeah. Let me pray for that. The top off with this water. Can I pray for that? Well, God, I would pray that Anthony would know when to shut his mouth when, you know, he shouldn't be or whatever. And it could just like build and build on itself. So I think that was a great idea.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Just wanted to affirm you publicly. I think that'd be, yeah, it could be very, very funny because you could, yeah, just escalate it more and more and more. You know, yeah, you start out with something pretty petty, like you're a few minutes late and you escalate it to like, I just want to pray for, yeah, Tom, who is cheating on his wife, that he would just reveal that to her. Yeah. I know it's not our place.
Starting point is 00:34:34 You cannot live in sin and darkness. You need to reveal it to light. So guys pray that he would just reveal this absolutely terrible addiction that he has. Give him the courage to be the one to tell her to come clean about it. You know, she needs to hear this from him and no one else. God, we just pray for boldness for Tom in this dark, dark time. Miserable time. It has to be him.
Starting point is 00:34:53 It has to be him that tells her, though, God, it can't be us. Yeah. Anyway, yabba dabba doo. Amen. So that was one thing. And then the other previous conversation we've had uh recently that we were like we need to talk about this more later i uh on my instagram story yesterday talked about how i feel like there's this void in my life and it's uh it's a it's a dance room
Starting point is 00:35:16 sized void because dance floor uh sure yeah i i want to dance more and so i put it out there to the world and said like let me dance for you let me go to your weddings and let me dance for you let me dance for you in your booty let me dance for you uh sorry and then brad was like you whispered it in your instagram you're like let me dance for you i don't know if i remember doing that i guess i did no you didn, you didn't. You didn't. Yes, go ahead. Keep going. All I'm saying is I think people might pay for this.
Starting point is 00:35:50 I think if we had a website called letmedanceforyou.com, we'd do just fine. Let us dance for you. That could be fun. Yeah, yeah. You have all sorts of taglines. You say jump. We say on who. We will go so hard. Oh, gosh. But yeah, it would be better to do with another person, though. he is the most entertaining dancer I've ever met. I don't think he's like the best dancer ever, but he goes so hard and like,
Starting point is 00:36:28 sure. Has so much fun with it. And one of my friends and I were like, you should be a professional wedding dancer and people should hire you to get, you know, party dance party started because you've been to the weddings that are awkward and not good at dance parties. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:41 You know, and they're just bad. Like it's like five people out there and it's like, man, this is awkward. But then you've been to those part, those weddings that are like, this is so fun. Two hours straight of nonstop. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Just like that wedding was so much fun. And yeah, it's like a joke between Catherine and I that she always wants to take a picture of me or with me at the wedding reception before we start dancing because she
Starting point is 00:37:02 knows by the end of it, you're not going to get a'm drenched yeah i'm drenched in sweat like it's not it's not the romantic you know instagram caption that she wants but um i think it'd be so fun and i've also said like i think it'd be a great weight loss thing for me like i think that if i danced every day for two hours as hard as i do at wedding receptions i would be a lot skinnier than I am right now. I guarantee you. Sweating is such a, it's, it's like, there's not many fun things you can do to make yourself sweat. You're almost always going to be like miserable when you're sweating, but dancing is like the one thing you like allow, like, this is awesome. Yeah. Just so happy. And I, I just love it. I don't ever look at anybody else while I'm dancing. Like I don't ever like some people are like, oh, I don't like to dance very much at weddings
Starting point is 00:37:45 because it's just, you're worried about what other people are thinking of you. I literally never notice anybody else dancing when I'm at, but I just am in my own zone. People say dance like nobody's watching. I say dance like everybody's watching. I pretend I'm on a stage. Everyone's looking at me and I'm just killing it. I just assume all eyes are on me when I'm dancing. I'm fine with all eyes being on me until they do the circles like until it's like brad get in the
Starting point is 00:38:09 middle do the thing i do not like that yes i so much agree yeah i've always said like i guess uh just in general like yeah i don't mind being the center of attention i'm not gonna pretend like i don't like it but i would would never put myself in the center of attention. I hate like, oh, dance circle. Let me hop in the middle of this. Check me out. Look what I can do. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Like, I can't do that at all. Like, I will never like back in the Cancun days, you know, people like, Jake, you go up and rap. Do another freestyle. That was awesome yesterday. Like, I will never do that unless obviously there's like the entire, you know, kitchen is chanting for me to do it. Then obviously, okay, sure. It doesn't look bad for me to do this, but. It's so much more fun when it's organic though and it's not.
Starting point is 00:38:50 I always joke with people and I say, I'm prime time. I'm not pay-per-view. What is that? You only dance like between seven and nine? Yes. Only, yeah, Eastern Standard Time. Okay. No, it just means like I like doing things that I choose to do
Starting point is 00:39:05 and that are in the moment rather than like anytime you want me to, like I'll do an impression of, you know, whoever, Donald Trump. Like, oh, that's so funny. Brad, Brad, do your impression of Donald Trump for this guy. And it's like, I'm not on demand.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Maybe. Pay-per-view is the, yeah, the old version of on demand, I guess. Okay. I've never bought anything off pay-per-view. Yeah, me neither. But as you were saying that, yeah, it's version of on-demand, I guess. Okay. I've never bought anything off pay-per-view. Yeah, me neither. But as you were saying that, yeah, it's like, look, I'm not your puppet. All right.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Right. I'm a one man show. It's not nearly as funny if it's like, hey, Jake, go do that dance for us right now. It's like, yeah, everyone's expecting, you know, the funniest thing ever. But if it's just like a random moment and you do something funny and it's like, oh, this is hilarious. That was amazing. So what was, what is your least favorite thing to like get asked to do in public like that? Like whether it's an impression or. hilarious that was amazing so what was what is your least favorite
Starting point is 00:39:45 thing to like get asked to do in public like that like whether it's an impression or yeah it's a great question i know exactly what the answer is it's uh my mom would be the one that would always do it so i uh the answer is speaking spanish to spanish speaking people oh yikes you go like mexican villa hey brad you no not even a mexican villa it's like it's like oh jonathan you have a colombian wife well brad takes spanish classes brad say something to her in spanish oh and it's always like like it'd be like saying like hey talk to this person like what do you want me to say so i'm like hola you know like i don't i don't have like an extensive you know conversation that i'm ready to have with you that i'm this person i've never talked to. And I'm just imagining being the other end of that. Like,
Starting point is 00:40:27 what if I'm in some foreign country and someone's like, Oh, well, so-and-so speaks English, say something to him in English. Right. Like, what is even going to impress me? What does he have to say there? That's a big, wow. The economy, the supply and demand of this really hits the equilibrium, right? And it's like, Oh my gosh, you do speak English. Give me a hug, brother. That's awesome. No, I just, uh, that, that is by far the thing that i'm like putting you on demand to speak spanish i always hated when my mom did that she would do that mexican restaurants and everything too like oh brad you can order in spanish what do you order for all of us yeah quesadilla please por favor you know like the words aren't that different, mom. You know, taco.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Taco con pollo, porfa. Yikes. Oh, geez. Do you have an answer for that? The first thing that comes to mind is back in the summer camp days, you know, when it would be like, okay, parents day. I've been with these kids for two weeks then you know they're obviously very excited to have like introduce me to their parents you know and did i just say obviously that makes me sound kind of i can't believe i just said that i was they're like super like like clearly people know me why wouldn't they be pumped gosh i can't believe i said that uh brad and i for those who don't know brad and i had a similar position at canna
Starting point is 00:41:44 cook where you're just you're on a stage on the microphone. Like you're up in front of people for two weeks straight. I would say the exact same position actually. Yeah. Just different camps. So there's a little difference there. Anyway, so it was just very common for kids. You know, they've seen you on the, on the stage and planning all the parties and they
Starting point is 00:42:00 want you to meet their parents, whatever. It's a normal thing. It's awkward when it's girls though. Sorry. Yeah. Oh yeah. We can get into that. Like,
Starting point is 00:42:07 like, especially with my, my little six to 10, like we had a younger camp. So six to 10 year old girls, this is Brad. I love him. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:42:15 I don't know your daughter very well. I don't even know her name. I promise. I don't know her name. I've never seen her before. We're not that close. She's seven years old. I don't know her.
Starting point is 00:42:22 I promise. That's the worst. This is, yeah, this is, yeah. Ashley's been telling me all about you. i don't know her i promise the worst this is yeah this is jashley's been telling me all about you uh i don't i sir i i what did she say specifically uh but okay on that note when they're just like this is jake uh he's the guy i wrote you guys about he's so funny jake tell my parents a joke joke he's so funny you guys would love this jake tell him a joke i'm like oh that's not really what i do you know like oh right um and i just try to like bring up some sort of inside joke or something like oh remember the da da da from yeah whatever and like oh that was funny and like dodged it
Starting point is 00:42:54 well i think that's the misconception about you and i is i think we're generally funny people but we are not funny all the time like we have normal conversations with each other where we are just normal people and people I think just think, Oh, Jake's funny in those videos. Therefore Jake's just hilarious. I can't wait to be around him.
Starting point is 00:43:12 He's going to be just, yeah. Oh, all the time. Oh yeah. And it's like, that's not the reality. We are,
Starting point is 00:43:17 no one's like that. We're yeah. Well, especially not you and I, I think we're okay going to a party and sitting there and just having a normal conversation with somebody rather than going to a party and being like, Hey guys, let me tell you this hilarious story or do this awesome impression.
Starting point is 00:43:35 You know, whatever. Yeah. I, yeah. Sometimes I feel not necessarily guilty, but I'm like, Oh,
Starting point is 00:43:41 I can tell this person is really, they've, they've seen me online for like a while and they're really excited to meet me they're obviously excited to meet you and they're obviously geez and i'm just like i think they're gonna be let down a little bit uh but then other times i'm like man that's crazy people think i'm funny on the internet because i think i'm way more fun to be around in person than i am on the internet right a lot of the times i i think i'm way more enjoyable to be around when i don't plan things and a lot of time on the internet it's like oh i'm i'm thinking of this because i'm expecting it to be funny prime time dude your prime time is funnier than your pay-per-view always yeah
Starting point is 00:44:13 you just always said start telling people what do you think about this i when i think about myself and my own sense of humor i don't think i'm very funny one-on-one at all i've always said i'm like way funnier like groups of like three to eight is my absolute sweet spot. I think that's true for me too because I bounce off people's conversations. They'll say something and I'll think, oh, I have a clever thing to add to that. Yeah, and it's much easier to do callbacks, I feel like, in a group setting. I don't know what that means. Oh, just like by the time someone's forgotten something that someone said an hour ago an hour ago that was kind of funny oh like in a group setting just around the
Starting point is 00:44:48 corner yeah yeah yeah then you bring it back yeah yeah um absolutely yeah that's one thing about like dating that i don't get that excited about because i'm like i'm not in my element here or not that i like you don't have to be funny all the time like i do when you look like me brad you've got to rely on your sense of humor a lot you know but I've always been like I'd rather just do something in a group I feel like you can get to know someone still really well you find out like what role they play like are you a contributor are you a laugher are you like a quiet observer are you just eating the whole time you
Starting point is 00:45:19 know like you get to see who they are I'm a big advocate for group dating I've never done it I don't even know what that means but I are. I'm a big advocate for group dating. I've never done it. I don't even know what that means. But I just think I'm at my best in groups. Yeah. I think that's good. You do have to realize, though, that eventually you're going to have to be one-on-one with the person that you're with for the rest of your life. I'm going to do communal living, too, where I'm always surrounded by people.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Honestly, that sounds awesome. If you and your wife eventually moved in with Catherine and I. Into the serious tornado room, maybe? Serious tornado? I'd always be safe. Yeah, absolutely. No, I think, I mean, you know more about having a soulmate than I do, granted. Sure.
Starting point is 00:46:08 But I think once you kind of find someone pretty special, you're going to be pretty, what's the word? It starts with a starts with a c content no it's better than that you're going to be pretty uh it's when you it's when you mesh together compatible cohesive is good too um covalent bonds that's what it was no you're going to be pretty compatible where you always feel like you're in your element with that person what's funny is that um you say that and thank you i thought it was one year at camp i had this character that i did that a lot of people thought was like really funny obviously um just kidding and obviously people wanted to talk to me afterwards they wanted to introduce me to their parents but he was like this he was like this pirate it was it doesn't matter it was a skit his name was lucky he was this pirate and he was pretty funny i
Starting point is 00:46:45 thought um katherine was one of the only people out there that did not think it was funny oh weird and like yeah she's like i'm sorry i just don't think that's funny and for the longest time it was like does my girlfriend not think i'm funny is this is this what's gonna i would have an issue with that or not an issue but i would like yeah eventually you just learn how to cater your jokes to the person and then you're just she thinks i'm hilarious now so i learned but she does love my lucky voice now weird she's coming around on it yeah i would say one thing and we can don't ask me to do it right now because i'm primetime pay-per-view i'm i didn't thank. I moved on. And we can move on from this whole conversation because I feel like I've kind of just been
Starting point is 00:47:27 buttering my own biscuit the last 10 minutes. Hello. But hello. Dance for me. Shoot, what was I going to say now? Oh, but I think one thing that we are good at is catering our sense of humor to whoever we're talking to. Like, I think that's why we were successful at camp
Starting point is 00:47:44 is because you can make the 20-year- laugh you can make the little kids laugh right ward reby in the back is 55 years old and he's laughing at my jokes you can make a room full of different aged people laugh right or just individually like i think we are both good like quickly identifying like okay what kind of person is this right like i can make the the used car salesman laugh you know but also like whatever i like it yeah i think that's exactly right and i think that's what makes you funny jake makes you makes you universally funny it makes this harder though because we can't see the people listening to this well yeah we're just gonna have to choose a demographic and just go head on to it so i think we'll go let's go prison
Starting point is 00:48:21 inmates with female prison inmates in their 30s or 40s. Okay. All right. Here we go. Hey, everybody. Thanks for coming out. What is the deal with neck tattoos? Anybody got a mobile signal here?
Starting point is 00:48:33 Anybody? No? Oh, just a cell phone. Oh, my. Because you guys are incarcerated. Cell phone. On Craigslist, there's always, are you dating an inmate what they want some reality show is casting people dating an inmate i've thought about trying to fake it but i don't know how to do that necessarily but i mean almost every day in gigs in kansas city are you or someone you
Starting point is 00:48:59 know like seriously dating an inmate i don't i don't think you need to fake it i think you just need to find an inmate. And date them. Pin pal them and say, hey, listen, there's some money out there. Would you be willing to date me for, you know, I'll give you a little kickback of this. How does that work, I wonder? Like how would I go about finding out someone's name in jail right now? I think you just look up, you know, in the newspaper and say arrested. I try to get someone fresh. Yeah. Hey, sorry about the, uh, you know,
Starting point is 00:49:30 sorry about the manslaughter. Do you have any, any, uh, interest in making 20 to 30 extra dollars a week? Sorry about the manslaughter. Um, I saw, uh, the movie, the Patriot though. So I totally get it. I totally get being passionate about something. And honestly, The Hatchet, I mean, makes sense. I watched some more Our Planet last night. Have you watched any more? No. Thanks for rubbing it in.
Starting point is 00:49:54 I went and rewatched the Caterpillar scene just for fun. Yeah. It was just as good. And then I got to the Walrus part, unfortunately. I actually didn't get quite to the walrus part i watched the documentary on like how they made it you know it's like a videographer which is pretty interesting um probably one of the more like fascinating parts this is actually before the the sad walrus part but they were like all the cameramen and women like post up in this tiny
Starting point is 00:50:18 little hut they basically build their own hut on this beach where it's supposed to be like the biggest walrus migration in the world okay and so they're there for like four or five days no one's showing up and then one night in the middle of the night their like hut is getting like barged in on by the the walry i think which is the plural term of the walruses walry and um anyway so they're having like boarded up like they're like nailing uh nails i believe you're the woodworker am i using that correctly yeah you nail you nail nails you screw screws okay they're nailing nails into the board and they're the woodworker. Am I using that correctly? Yeah, you nail nails. You screw screws. Okay. They're nailing nails into the board and they're like, this feels like a zombie apocalypse
Starting point is 00:50:49 because the walri are just like... Oh my gosh. Like crowding in on their little hut. That's terrifying. Yeah, the next morning they can't open their door. They find a way to get on the roof of their little hut and it's estimated over 100,000 walrus are around them. Like you can't see the ground.
Starting point is 00:51:09 It's awesome. Just like the sheer numbers of how many i'm so intrigued now yeah that part was kind of crazy wow um yeah then it gets pretty sad and i'm not really gonna talk about it really much but i think it made it worse watching the behind the scenes because you get this human aspect of like this cameraman lifts his eye up from like the viewfinder and then he's like got tears in his eyes at what he just filmed and he's like that is the worst thing i've ever filmed and he's like talking about it i don't want to know because i want to see what happens but i'm so intrigued oh do you not know no oh okay you've just heard that it's bad i just heard don't watch it gotcha of course that makes you want to watch it yeah sure but should i actually watch it or should i not i don't know i haven't actually seen the episode of it i just saw but knowing what happens i mean i'm still gonna watch it yeah um basically there used to be
Starting point is 00:51:49 in this location there used to be ice and that's where the the walri would sleep um and now there is no ice where the ice used to be now it's just like really sharp rocks so they can't sleep there anymore so they're having to like climb up this kind of cliff to rest and first of all they're not animals meant to be climbing anything at all. Right. And then they get up there and I guess they're, they're just some sort of, you know, they're also not smart enough to really realize like distance or the consequences of their actions. And so they get up on this cliff and then they see a walrus down at the beach and they
Starting point is 00:52:19 think, oh, I want to go down there. And so they just jump off a cliff. Like they're just falling off of it. Like they're willing, they're not in any danger. They're not at any just jump off a cliff like they're just falling off of it like they're willing they're not in any danger they're not any risk they're just like willingly just like falling off this cliff wow there's just hundreds of them just falling down wow okay yes it's pretty sad so i won't watch that one with hattie yeah that would be your mufasa moment a little early with hattie yeah um except a lot of Mufasa's happening at once. Okay. Uh, I have a life hack to share with you. Very cool. In order to let's, let's, uh, in the podcast with this.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Perfect. Um, so first of all, the first life hack that I have, it's kind of twofold. It's, it's a nighttime life hack. Um, um first of all drink a lot of water before you go to bed because i've heard a hot take i've heard a you uh sleep better and you wake up more like when you're hydrated you wake up more energy and b i just think hold on has anyone ever told you like not to drink water no before bed i said no i'm saying like i feel like it's just it's always a good idea to drink more water no i know just okay sorry let me go man gosh yeah it's like hey here's a here's a life hack uh wear your seat belt uh exercise exercise uh helps uh your health okay sorry go on no no drinking water before bed because, since you're being smart with me. Yeah, come on.
Starting point is 00:53:45 I have heard some people say don't drink water after 7 p.m. because then you'll have to go to the bathroom at night. Okay. My hot take life hack is that I like going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Oh, what a psycho. Why? Because. You don't like a full night's sleep?
Starting point is 00:53:59 I love waking up in the middle of the night, not realizing it's the middle of the night, waking up, looking at your clock, not realizing it's the middle of the night waking up looking at your clock seeing that it's 3 30 going to the bathroom and coming back and essentially having what feels mentally like two different nights of sleep i love the i love the feeling great i love the feeling of curling and crawling back into bed after a second time yes i love it it's so warm and nice so that's that's my first life hack some people will disagree that's okay sounds like you do yeah can we talk about that real quick or do you need to get on to the second one are they combined they are combined but we can talk go ahead i uh so i've kind of done that before like oh well i guess not drink water but
Starting point is 00:54:40 sometimes i've like purposely not went to the bathroom before bed. So I'm like, Oh, this will be, it'll help you wake up. Yes. It'll be easier for me to wake up in the morning cause I have to pee so bad. So there's my life hack is drink as much water as you want.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Honestly, I don't really care, but just don't pee before bed. If you are excited to wake up in the morning. I can't fall asleep if you have to pee. Well, I shouldn't say you have to pee, but when you know you're at like a four out of 10,
Starting point is 00:55:02 you're like, I could, I could afford to go if I'm about to sleep. I say, hold it. And then you'll always wake up for that meeting you have to pee, but when you know you're at like a four out of 10, you're like, I could, I could afford to go if I'm about to sleep. I say, hold it. And then you'll always wake up for that meeting you have at 7am. That's how I've been getting through life the last couple of years. That'd be a really funny thing to say to your business meeting. Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Hey, we've got a big meeting tomorrow. Hey, thanks for meeting with me. Absolutely. I didn't pee before bed last night. Like no context at all. Anyway, so that's, that's the first life hack. And then the second one, it doesn't have to necessarily be 100%, you know, correlated, connected. But whenever you do wake up, if you are waking up in the middle of the night, for whatever reason,
Starting point is 00:55:36 maybe when you're a young dad and you have a young child, you know, crying in the middle of the night, whatever it is, keeping one eye closed oh when you go to the bathroom when you turn on a light is awesome because what you do so i i get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of night i keep one eye closed i waddle in you know kind of stumble in well yeah you have no death perception i'm sure it's tough hey it's worth it you go to the bathroom you wash your hands optional and then you you love washing your hands i do uh you go back to bed and then you you turn off the light and you open your other eye you can see everything so i've used this when playing the game uh murder in the dark you ever played that yes that's smart so the whole time we're like explaining the rules or like you know
Starting point is 00:56:23 we're like voting on who killed whatever i got my left hand over my So the whole time we're like explaining the rules or like, you know, we're like voting on who killed whatever. I got my left hand over my eye the whole time. And the second those lights are off, boom, like a bat baby. Yeah, I'm seeing things. There you go. Yeah, I never thought about it like in that sense and more of a pragmatic, like take care of my daughter, you know, whatever. Well, I just hate, and everyone does, but like bumping into things in the middle of the night or even just like being scared about walking in the middle of the night do you ever close your eyes and pretend you're blind and see if you could
Starting point is 00:56:48 get around like your living room or like something you know really well no oh yeah me neither no i've actually definitely done that before i'm surprised you haven't i've always been like i feel like i know my room so well i'm gonna close my eyes see if i can brush my teeth right now no i'm like trying to walk to the bathroom can Can't stand it. And, uh, turns out, don't know. Like I think I do. Yeah. It's pretty tough. Like you think like, Oh, the wall's got to be close and you keep leaning. It's like so much farther away. Like I really start doubting, like maybe the wall's not over there. I better have my eyes in case this wall's falling down. I don't do it on purpose, but whenever the lights are out, I have those sensations and feelings. So that's how I would like to end the
