All right, time to be rolling. Yep, we're on Jake. I'm flustered today. Came in 22 minutes late to our recording this morning. Was already running late. Tell me, tell me if I did the right thing here. So did you shut the garage door? I shut. I hope so.

Yes. Yes, yes. Yes. Why? I thought that would have been the right thing. That would have been that is a right thing. So this morning, let's take it back. 24 hours ago, I made some cold brew in the cold brew maker for from Main Street Roasters. Awesome. And after 24 hours, you're supposed to keg it.

That you know, the nitro process. OK, I mean, I kind of follow. What do you make it in? You make it in like a five gallon bucket, like a plastic. Got a kombucha style. Yeah, it's just You make it in like a five gallon bucket, like a plastic bucket. Oh, got a kombucha style. Yeah, it's just like making coffee, but instead of using hot water, you use regular temperature water.

Wow, I'm glad I asked, I didn't know that. So you're just out there, like in the lab. In the lab. Yeah, there's like a specific food grade bucket I bought, but it looks like a Home Depot bucket. It might be a Home Depot bucket. With like slightly less plastic. $15 instead of $5.

Yeah. And it's got a little like hole in the bottom that has like a spout that you can take it from there. Okay. To the keg. Anyway, making my coffee. We used to water our trees with buckets like this. Did you?

Because you fill up the bucket all the way. But then there's a little hole that way you don't drown the tree. It just slowly waters it waters a little slow trickle Mm-hmm good for you. That's that's that's the that's the Indian way That's how we used to forage So anyway long story short I made a little bit of a mess in the garage. Okay transferring the the the coffee from Home Depot to keg, right?

Okay. Transferring the coffee. From Home Depot to keg. Right. I'm talking about a little bit, I mean, let's imagine eight ounces of coffee in your cup and then put that in on the ground in the garage. It might not seem that much in a cup, but when you just spill it in the garage and you haven't cleaned it up yet. You gotta mess on your hands. There's a decent little puddle there, right? And then let's imagine, let say I can't wait because I think I somewhat know where this ends Well, this ends with you saying I'm freezing because that's what you and I'm so curious how we get from I spilled my coffee So I'm freezing cold. So then imagine another like let's say two ounces of coffee

On our deep freeze, maybe even let's go six ounces. Let's say a decent amount on our top of our deep freeze freezer I don't know how it got there exactly. I think there was a little bit of a leakage situation with the Home Depot bucket But now That is no longer just on the top of the deep freezer. This happened last night Apparently it seeped into the deep freeze and guess what happens when something seeps into a deep freeze it freezes How did it seep? Well, like I said, not always the clean. It was a little bit of a, it's not, it's not the easiest operation, you know, transferring five gallons of liquid back and forth anyway. So I knew that there was coffee on the ground. I knew that there was, you

know, some things to be wiped on the top of the surface, didn't know about inside the deep freeze. So then Catherine goes to put away her sourdough loaf in the freezer that she had just made. And she's like, whoa, there's like some coffee on the ground. I was like, I know, I know, I'm sorry. I'll clean that up later. She's like, there's also some coffee in the deep,

it's in the deep, oh, it's all over inside of the deep. And so to Catherine's credit, truly, this is not even just like me saving her bacon. She was very kind and gracious throughout the whole thing. She like cleaned it up and like no complaints, but also it was like the kids were, the kids were, you know, having, you know, their breakfast, they were kind of complaining,

they were kind of being demanding of her. And so I was like, all to say, I was like, I gotta stay. I gotta stay here until this gets clean, right? Like that's the's the right thing to do like especially if she's cleaning up my mess It's my fault. I can't just be like you should watch her kids. I can't be like yeah, right watch your kids Yeah, I can't be like well, you know time and time and really needs me to be there Probably for like just to frame up the camera. I think it's in his name. I mean, I want to value his time. Timing. Yeah, right. Like it's like 906.

Come on, Catherine. I should probably get out of here. Like I'll wipe it up later. It's going to be whatever. She was so kind. She did it. Took like, you know, seven minutes. So at this point, 912, 913.

Like I said, didn't get here till 921, 922. What happened? I walk outside, Jake. I got so mad, dude. I got so frustrated. Are you talking about last week? Cause Catherine had cleaned up your mess. Dude, it's not Catherine.

It's not, okay. First of all, we have snow on the ground again and I'm done. I'm done with the snow. It's March. I was in, I know this is a classic Midwest, but I was in shorts for most of yesterday. Dude. And I wake up today snowy. Have you ever heard this dude if you don't like the weather?

Wait five minutes. What do you think? What do you think is that? Bumper stickers, I know put that everywhere t-shirts only Would only sell in Kansas, that's the thing. I would literally buy a shirt. Would you? I would literally, I would give you my money for a shirt. Kansas. So funny.

If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes. That's the thing though. It got me. Oh man. I can't get over that. That's... I know. The only bummer is that only relates to like Northeast Kansas though.

Yeah. That's too... Like Central Kansas, it's pretty predictable. Yeah, you don't like the wind, wait five minutes. That doesn't hit as hard. Yeah. That's too, Central Kansas, it's pretty predictable. Yeah. You don't like the wind. Wait five minutes. That doesn't hit as hard. No. Central Kansas. It's only us.

Dang it. It's only us. Okay. So Northeast Kansas, if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes. Right? Oh man. All that to say,

the snow is killing me. It's crazy windy outside. Real windy. Real windy. So last night, you know, trash day is today. Right? And like I said last week, our recycling hasn't come forever. I think it's been a month genuinely.

You're mad. I am mad. And so this morning, while I was draining the coffee into the cake, I was like, I'm gonna take out all my recycling stuff. I have so much more than what's in the bin. I'm just gonna put it next to it in two big like cardboard boxes. Like I had my Good Ranchers box

that was filled to the brim, stuffed in there. Then I had another box and I walk out as I'm running late and one of those two boxes had been ripped open by the wind and my cardboard was all over the street. All over the street. So that's what you were doing for 10 minutes before you came here. Dude, I was so angry. I was so angry at the whole situation. I was thinking to myself like, why aren't they here yet? They're usually, they've usually picked it up by now. And if they would have come the last three weeks,

then it wouldn't be a problem. It wouldn't be full. And my hands are freezing. There's stuff all over my yard. And so I'm tromping through, I didn't even have my snow boots on. I'm tromping through the yard in my shoes, just getting like wet and cold.

My hands, I talk about like, you know, whatever, schools are being know, whatever schools are being soft, whatever my hands after 10 minutes of being out there bear were absolutely like, they're still kind of hurting right now. It's been 25 minutes probably since this has happened. I was, I was freaking like, there were so many times I was like, I just, I'm just going to leave it here. And I was like, well, that's not going to show the trash company anything. And so eventually, dude, I just took, because I didn't know where to put all this stuff.

So eventually, I just grabbed it all and threw it in the back of Catherine's van. And I'm just going to take it somewhere myself. And I'm going, you bet your bottom dollar, I am calling that freaking trash company and giving them more than a piece of my mind. Yeah. I'm giving them the whole, the whole brain. The whole brain. Hey! The unsevered brain. It's me! Amigula! What are the parts of the brain guys?

Medulla. It's Oblongata season! Uh, cerebellum. It's cerebellum season! Frontal lobe? You like my frontal lobe? Wait five minutes! BOOM! RULE IT! needing fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet cause this is a ghost from the spot cam ghost from the spot cam there among the morning we're taking grandpas from the spot cam go for a spot cam well let's say I had brought like I've been like okay oh my gosh

how how does that even happen? How does this happen? Just on my hand, I had brought out like a cold, like coffee and protein shake thinking like, it'll be fine, I'm just walking from the garage to Jake's house and my hand was like shivering as I'm bringing this over. Doesn't matter, dude. That is funny, because yeah, you walked in

and you're kind of like, whoo. Yeah, I was flustered. And you're like, man, That is funny. Because yeah, you walked in and you're kind of like, yeah, I was, I was flustered. You're like, man, I'm cold. And I thought I was being funny. I was like, oh, how come? Because I knew Brad had just had to walk over here in the cold. 28 degrees and it's 70 degrees or 70 mile per winds. Like I had no idea you've been tromping through the yard. I was so angry. I was angry. And you know what made it like, I don't know if this should have made it worse, but it absolutely made it worse was that three of my four children the entire time were just looking out the window, watching me. Dad looks cold. I was like, don't watch me right now. Dad's tromping. I'm frustrated. I was, I was like, this is not my best. And I was trying so hard to be like, be a good example, pick up every little thing, like be excellent. We're talking about like, I'm trying to like, especially with Hattie, be like, be excellent in everything you do. Like, like is that, did you put that blanket away excellent or did you just kind of throw

it enough? You know, and it's like, I want to not be excellent right now. So bad. I want, I want to be warm more than I want to be excellent. Oh, I'm mad. Whatever. It's fine. So all I have to say, happy March, everybody.

Spring has sprung here. I was worried that Timon wasn't going to get here this morning. I know. Yeah. I was telling Timon, I went to go, I went to text him to be like, hey, if you have trouble, we can postpone or whatever. And then I checked his location. He's already halfway here.

That a boy. As a star. How was it? How, in general, like, you live in the country, kind of, I have trouble we can postpone or whatever. And then check his location. He's already halfway here. That a boy. That's a star. How was it? How in general, you live in the country, kind of, but you live in a neighborhood. So how do they do with your roads? They do fine.

I think they shovel them pretty on time, I'd say. I can't remember this morning if they were, if they had it cleared or not. I think it was just like, I was careful the whole, actually they definitely hadn't, because I was like, I had to break way Before our stop sign like just to make sure but like the more north I got they were fine You all do that when it's like snowy out like you test them. Yeah

It's like there's no like if we go crazy if we spin out right now. No problem. Let's see what happens Yeah, I don't like testing the brakes but like out of a stop sign like let's get on a little bit. Okay, let's turn the wheel testing the brakes, but like out of a stop sign. Like let's get on a little bit. Let's turn the wheel while I'm accelerating and just see how slippery it is. I kinda like testing the brakes and sledding a little. It's kinda fun. I doubt it's good on the car at all, but.

Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh. Do you know what to do if they do slide on you and it's not working? I think it's just like, just up and down. Pump the brakes. Yeah. Whoa, whoa, whoa down. Like, yeah. Pump the brakes. Yeah. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Pump the brakes, mister. Pump the brakes, pal.

Speaking of cars, you know, I bought Rachel her new RAV4. It's a, when I went to go buy and settle up, they made me download the Toyota app, all that stuff. So I still to this day, I have the Toyota app on my phone, don't even have the car, so I'm constantly getting notifications of what Rachel is doing with her car. And so I'm very up to date.

Oh really? And I see now, so Rachel has late start, she's on the living room right now. Looks like she tried to start the car, it said command failed. Then it says ensure the vehicle is not in use. It just, I'm always, I know too much about what Rachel's going through.

Rachel, sounds like you locked the doors and then it worked. Yeah, then it worked. Once it worked, you locked the doors. Good job. I need to- You're learning. Wasn't locked all night. It feels like an invasion of privacy. It's like, I don't need to know when she locks her doors

or when she remote starts her car. I'm like, why do I know all this? It's too much. How many notifications do you have on your phone? Are you a big, like? Yeah, I get a lot. Really? Yeah. I was, I'm reading a book right now.

You know, me and my book. Brick book. Big books, you know, not really. I haven't read books in like over a month. Anyway. It's funny because most people would say I haven't been reading in a while, but you say I haven't read books in a while

When I when I get reading I'm like I'm gonna start like three books at once I'm like kind of like am I in this kind of mood or this kind of mood? So I'm just reading books Right now kind of doing a one-two punch. I talked about her like a couple months ago But I was reading atomic habits still reading that but also reading anxious generation heard of this No, I mentioned to someone the other day about habit stacking they go atomic habits yeah no sorry I'll read it dude you should honestly everyone should read both these books but anxious generations all about like how basically Gen Z is messed up because of social media and smartphone but I talked about how

Don't even need on average right now. It's like 100 plus push notifications. Get out. Yeah. 100 plus push notifications a day. Go to every single, you know, average person's phone. And that doesn't include communication. In other words, like if someone's texting you. And so there was some kind of, it was, I was like, surely this isn't true, but like they're like some Gen Z girls especially that are super connected to their phones and texting and snapping, whatever, are getting more than one notification a minute

on average per day. That's wild. Man, jealous. Oh yeah, no, that's crazy. That's wild. And so it's like, yeah. So I was curious, like how many notifications how many notifications your big push notification guy. Yeah, unfortunately It's something I should be living when I first got the Apple watch

I was big on that like I do not I don't I don't need two notifications of the same thing like I want I Almost have no apps installed on my watch. It's just here for like fitness and Communication. Okay, but yeah, I probably have no apps installed on my watch. It's just here for fitness and communication. But yeah, I probably have too many. Buzz with me. Yeah, they like, and that would, see for me it's like I would have to check every time. Like, do you feel that? Or is it almost desensitized for you?

Yeah, I mean, you get so many dumb notifications being like an admin in different Facebook groups. So I mean, half of them are just garbage, you know, or just someone gave you kudos on Strava, you know? So some of them, it's like, it doesn't even like pass through my brain of like a real notification, luckily, but it still is a lot of time looking at your phone. But it's like, but if you get a vibration in your pocket,

you don't know if it's kudos or if it's something important. True. That's what it's like, okay, that's what's tough. Anyway, Atomic Habits is good though, dude. You would love it. I know that's the kind of book that you would get pumped about. All right. I think you would-

Atomic Hab here in a little bit. Yeah, just because you're already trying to develop new habits and trying to implement new things. It talks about the cycle. It's like there's science behind it. And I think that's why you would enjoy it. It's like, it's not just like, hey, get out there and go. Come on, go be your best version of yourself.

Come on man, you can do it. Yeah. It's like, here's how to- Wait five minutes. Here's how to make them almost impossible not to achieve kind of thing. Like- Fun. Yeah.

Yeah, I think when Rachel and I first got married and I told her my obsession with having, like I have to get something done while the Microwave is going I think that's where she taught me what like habit stacking is called. Yes. Oh, well, I'm already doing it Yes. Yeah, I get it. It is very interesting It's like the thing that you do already like put something else with that and then delay your reward for The thing that happens afterwards or whatever like I want to eat I know I'm gonna have my microwave session while the microwave is going. I also want to

I do exercise more. Yeah, so it's like I'm gonna do ten push-ups while I Yeah, you know people always make fun of me But I I've been habit-stacking for years not even know what it was called. I would always I still I shave while I drive Yeah, it's like I have to shave at some point I know I have to drive at some point. Can't do much else multitasking while you drive. There was a ghostie that recommended using the floss picks while you drive and I have thought about it.

I haven't done it yet but I'm like. That's the first step. That's great because I drive almost every day. If I said I flossed almost every day, that's a win. I'll tell you the life hack is when we can start to figure out how to habit stack while we're sleeping. If I could floss while I sleep now we're in business. Work out while I sleep. Yeah. Read books while I sleep. Talk to Tymon while I sleep. Yeah, I

don't I'm trying to figure out if I know exactly what you're doing here. Paint while you sleep. That would work. Okay. Set code, code like code. Yeah. like code HTML AI AI while you sleep is this deja vu what i'm having right now no no not what not what's going on right now but i in my head i just i just remembered something does that mean i had no no no i just have my first memory wow he's severed he's reintegrating. I had a dream. I don't know if I've as far as I can remember. I don't think I've had like specific dreams about ghosties.

I realized just now based off what you guys just said that I had a dream that had Alvaro's name in it. Shout out Alvaro Eskin. Okay. Also go ahead and say right now that it's not Deja Vu, but go on. Well, what if you guys also said it right? I? Don't know it was like I think it was like his birthday or something and Taco Bell on their sign said happy birthday alvaro eskin And then I went down the street farther and another place had like

You know whatever 25 years with alvaro kind of thing whatever Whatever. Where were you? No idea. That's all I can remember Yeah, it's just like kind of like neon signs driving down a normal old, you know Just main road of a street or a town It is funny that happens to me around then like three hours after you woke up like I just remember my dream all of a sudden Yeah, because something you talked about in real life. Yeah triggered it Yeah, and I that honestly might not even honestly might not have even been last night. That might've been two nights ago. Maybe it was a real thing.

Oh my gosh. You're right. Maybe that actually happened. I didn't even think about that. Yeah, I see what his birthday was. I have been watching Severance. As have you. Yes.

We went out, Rachel went on a little walk with Catherine and recapped it all. I was like, what'd you guys talk about on your walk? Severance. Yeah. Cause, what'd you guys talk about on your walk? Severance? Yeah, cause it sounds like you guys, Rachel and I have been doing a good job, but we're pretty much one episode at a time,

still getting to bed at a good time. Y'all kind of marathoned it a little bit. One night? No, that's, no, is that what she told you? No, we probably watched, I think one night we watched like two and a half is the most we've ever watched. Maybe. It's mostly like one and a half to two.

Usually it's like, well, let's just start the next one. Catherine, it's like almost like classical conditioning with her, she falls asleep hard. And I started like really feeling what you were talking about with Rachel of like falling asleep. Cause then it's like, all right, next night, we have to go back and watch 25 minutes of the previous episode.

Yeah, so that's happened to us a few times recently and it's basically, it's like Rachel has homework, basically, like last night, I was like, well, I have a phone call at six, so during my phone call, make sure you get your homework done, which means catch up to seven. Catch up, but don't get too far once.

Know where I stop. And I guess you could go back to figure out where you stopped, because I'm like, how do you communicate that? Yeah. So yeah, it's fun. So yeah, we were watching Severance, then Rachel started shortening it to Sev. Sev. You want Sev tonight? Yeah.

And then that turned into, this is like Mitha Rogers in the office. And then that gave me a flashback to, remember when you were in eighth grade and you called the seventh grader Sevvies? Sevvies. Yeah. It was like this unlocked memory. I was like, oh my gosh,

that was such a big word for like two years of my life. Just like how much I hated being a Sevvie, but then how much it was great to call the Sevvies when you were in eighth grader. Sevvies. You're such a Sevvie, man. Yeah, I don't know why, but the schools were always the middle school, junior high was seventh, eighth, ninth.

So Sevys were like the little kids. See, we were sixth, seventh and eighth. And so sixth graders were called Sixlets, but that name didn't really stick much like the Sevys did. For whatever reason, Sevys was... That's true. Okay. I was going to say, is this a Scott Peck moment where it's like, did he really say that?

Like, six, I was like, I can't tell if you're joking. That was what they called him, but yeah, it just didn't stick that much. It was Seveys was really, that hit hard. Seveys is just like, oh, what a Sevey, dude. Yeah, that's a Sevey move, yeah. Yeah, it's like, it's like so, yeah, you're pushing down. Oh, I remember I was a Sevey,

thought you had a lot of homework and you're a Sevey. It's like, what's like so, yeah, you're pushing down. Oh, I remember I was a Seve. You thought you had a lot of homework and you're a Seve? It's like, what am I supposed to do? This is how old I am. I can't help what grade I'm in here. So yeah, that's been a fun memory. Cause Rachel was like, oh my gosh, I forgot about Seve. It's like, it's a nice shared memory of that terminology. But yeah, Severance is good.

I'm determined, I'm like, we have to strike while the iron is hot. I got to make a Severance spoof for Pickleball sooner rather than later. So I texted Ty with some stuff, because he hasn't seen it, but I was like, you will love shooting this. I've seen some behind the scenes of like a few shots. Yeah.

It's crazy. I was trying to show Rachel, because right away, like a bit of a videographer myself, when they are getting, when they elevator themselves. That was pretty good. Yeah, they like, their ratio changes or something on their faces. Yeah, it's called like a dolly zoom

or like a parallax effect. And so I knew how they did it. And so I was trying to show Rachel with my phone. And so I'm like taking videos of her in like this coffee shop and didn't have the same effect on my iPhone because the iPhone, it like, it glitches when it goes to 0.5.

They gotta smooth that out. You know what I mean? Like when you're zooming in and out of video, they gotta figure that out. But anyway, so I know time will have fun with it. So I'm just trying to think of like, like this has got massive potential. So it's gotta be like the most relatable piece

of severance pickable content imaginable Yeah, so what are you we've got two kind of options Rachel by brainstorming like seriously all week long trying to figure it out One is like sending my any to a 5.0 tournament Okay, something like that because I would love to see the transition like happen is where we get to do that shot and you you become A much better player because your he's been practicing or something Maybe okay. The other option is like a wellness session. It's like when you first get there It's like you're outie plays pickleball, right? Oh cool. Yeah You're outie always blames his partner or the way, you know, whatever. Yeah, it's supposed to be wellness. Yeah

That's the other option. It's not a severance II or it's not as like Time and we'll get to have as much fun shooting it. No, but that might be more mass appeal. It might be easier. Even if you don't really understand, it's like. Exactly. Oh, but that's not a good thing. Like, it's like, oh, you can understand the pickable aspect.

You can understand it a little better. Whereas like if you click on or if you're scrolling and then all of a sudden the word any is in front of you, you're like, all right, I immediately don't understand this if you haven't seen Severance. So. Catherine does not like the any and outy terms. Really? What does she prefer? I can't say.

Yeah, her own little crunchy pronouns. Crunchy pronouns. Crunchy pronouns. I think that's great. I think that'd be fun. So we'll see. So yeah, maybe sometime soon we'll get that shot. It's like a while. Are we building like a whole white set? Probably. Did you see that behind the scenes thing where they tested 50 different shades of white for the hallway? Yeah. Do we buy that? Calm down. Uh, hey, uh, director of photography, talk to my wife.

50 shades of white. Yeah. Sounds like when we bought our first house. What? So it sounds like when we're rug shopping. White. Yeah, sounds like when we bought our first house. What? Sounds like when we were rug shopping. Yeah, yeah. Sounds like... I didn't realize my wife directed Severance. 50 Shades of White. What is this? A Dave Matthews concert? 50 Shades of White. Thought you were going a different route with that joke.

I thought about it, but I'm not going to. a different route with that joke. I thought about it but I'm not going to. Anyway that is that's excessive. It is. Yeah there's not even that many shades. So there's making them up. Yeah it's a lie. I don't want to I'm not a hater of Severance. I think Severance is good not great. Can I say that? It sounds like everyone is like, severance is the best thing ever. It's good, not great. What it is, is original. I would say it's 10 out of 10 on originality.

100% thought provoking, interesting. I don't know where you're at, and this won't spoil anything. I think I'm like one or two episodes behind, but we just recently got into like spirituality in our episode almost. Oh. Of like my,

I mean, David kind of go into this, like the Audi's been a bad person, the Inni is hoping to get to heaven. So it's like, well, yeah, how would that work? Okay. Interesting. Do you have two souls? I don't know.

I feel like the whole thing, like it's very sacrilegious towards Kyr. Kyr. Inni? Anyway, it's like, I don't know. I don't think I would be like, like, I think we watched season one in four days or whatever. So yeah, we're into it. Clearly it's a good show. Yeah, it's like, it's not bad.

But like, if that, if that season ended in 2022 and I had to wait three years for this one to come out, I don't know. Yeah. I'd be like, ah, that's okay. I would say it's got, there's a bit of a gap between Severance and Breaking Bad, in my opinion. And like, I always compare it, because I know that the directors are also lost people.

And I'm like, not even close. You think lost is better than severance? Oh my gosh. Really? The emotions and the feelings at the end of lost episodes were just like oh My okay. Holy cow. Okay, we like talk about something you have to you binge It's just like we can't stop. We can't go to bed. We gotta watch another one. Oh my good word and Severance there's definitely been times of cliffhangers. Yeah, but you go to bed after like I'll just I'm not gonna try to give anything away

But I at the end of the episode I know I was like I gotta watch the next catharsis sleep. I don't care I'm watching the next like 15 minutes at least to see what's going on here, you know I think that's exactly what we did. We are ready to go to bed and that episode hit Rachel goes Let's watch the intro the next one. Yeah. Yeah, the intro the next one has nothing to do with them goes, let's watch the intro of the next one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the intro of the next one has nothing to do with them.

Nothing to do. Vroom, vroom. I, the other night, I was asleep. I was falling asleep. And then eventually I kind of just succumbed to it because we were on our second episode of the night. And whatever, I'm not trying to give anything away. This is not giving either way.

But the episode's really slow. And then all of a sudden, you just, a woman just screams as loud as she can. Do you know what I'm talking about? No, I don't know this one. Okay. By far, like the most scared I can remember ever being. Oh my gosh.

We jumped up off the couch, and I ran away. Dude, I was fighting it for like 15 minutes. It was scary. I was just, and then finally I was, I was fighting it for like 15 minutes. It was scary. I was just, and then finally I was like, ah, I'll get this later. I kind of understand like the point of this conversation. And then all of a sudden, dude, and for whatever reason, Catherine didn't have sympathy for me at all. I was like, Oh my gosh, I was, I was asleep. I was asleep during that part. I was asleep. I was asleep and she didn't even sympathy for me at all. I was like, oh my gosh, I was asleep. I was asleep during that part. I was asleep.

I was asleep and she didn't even respond to it. Like she might've been asleep. I need you to respond and be like sympathetic towards me. I was like, that was so scary. I thought about it the next day. I was so scared. So just two days scared. You know, my biggest qualm with Severance,

I've been saying it since like episode two, Kissing Kate Barlow's gotta speak up is that Kissing Kate Barlow. Yeah, do you not realize that I miss you Bell so familiar? Yeah, it's a bar low David Arquette's She's related David Arquette. I'm assuming but like I mean you ever seen holes. Oh, yeah All right, so kiss a cape bars in my top four in letterbox for a while You don't think it's like. Connected to Camp Green Lake somehow. Yeah, holes. Yeah, hole, hole.

Where do you think the hole goes down to? Holes. Holes. Holes. Holes. She's gotta speak up, is that what you said? Oh, she whispers the whole time. Mark.

Mark. Is everything okay? You're putting out your trash a little early today, Mark. He's putting out his trash whenever he wants to put out his trash. That's Christopher Walken. Yeah. And I love that the butler from Mr. D

is the main character, underestimating the sneakiness. Yes, he's so good. Anything he, John Turturro, I think is it? Yeah. I love anything he's in. He's in main character. You're underestimating the sneakiness. Yes, he's so good. Anything he, John Turturro, I think is it? Yeah. I love anything he's in. He's in rounders. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Every time he does something, I'm like, I love him. And Catherine's like, really? I'm like, yes. I just love, yeah. Yeah, I like it. But Kiss of Kate's gotta speak up. I mean, 80% of her scenes with dialogue, she's talking to someone.

I mean, she's just whispering. Yeah. You, you don't want me to come back to this company. You're, you need me back in this company. I know it's every scene. I'm very intrigued by the, the show is good. I'm not trying to act like it's not good. I I'm not trying to be a hater. I'm just trying to be realistic. I'm trying to be more critical letterbox style. I give it a four out of five. And I think that's good. And that's good. That's like, that's like one of the best shows I've watched in a while, but it's not, it doesn't elicit the same feelings as Breaking Bad to me. We're lost for lost. Holy cow. Holy cow. Holy cow. Holy cow holesy cows. Holesy cows. Holesy cowsies. Timon is double hatting it today.

For the bathroom? Well, you say. Oh, yeah, no, sorry, I needed lunch too. Yeah, yeah. Good. I just left him a dollar. You'll know this is for when you go in there. It's for number one, so I left you one.

And a very old woman is working there and is taking my order. One of those like women you're like I can't believe you're still working but that's really sweet of you and you know what actually this might be best to roleplay it. Brad I'm I'm gonna be- What kind of Hawaiian bros do you want? I'm gonna be the sweet old woman. You're gonna be me. Oh, okay. And you're in a good mood, vibes are up, and you're excited to talk to this sweet woman. So, like you've ordered and anyway, I'm like, all right, and your order comes out to 787.

And how's the weather out there today? I've been in shorts all day. I mean, it's great. And I've really been enjoying the weather today. It's been nice, yeah. Oh yeah, and honestly, yeah, the sun is out. If you're like- All right, all right, that's good.

Yeah, so we've got your name, and we'll just let you know when the order's done. Oh. Aloha. Aloha. That was it? Like she's just like, me off. Yeah, I understand I got it And then I just walked to the bathroom my tail between my legs like I was too boring for the sweet old woman Oh, yeah, I was saying I got taken. Yeah, I got robbed by a sweet old lady

motorized cart. Yeah, I thought I was being so friendly and so nice. You know what? I will engage in this classic small talk question. I'm in a great mood. And I really gave her a good rundown of the weather. Because I've been outside all day. I've been driving around all day. And at one point, I mean, it was like really heavy rain.

But my phone says it's 53 degrees. All right, all right. That was more than enough rain, but my phone says that it's 53 degrees. All right All right, that's that was more than enough. We don't need to get the exact temperature. Yeah Really? Yeah, just cut me off. All right, that's good. So yeah, we've got it and double it's no one to tell You're right. You should have that was too much. You're gonna go back on her be like, how's your day going? And how's your weather good coming kind of busy here You know, had to fill up the iced tea twice actually. All right. That's good. Don't even know about what kind of leaves you use on the tea. You know, bring me my food. That's a bonus story from there. So then I do go to the restroom when I come back out.

And I feel bad, this is the Hawaiian Bros up in North KC, like really cool building, probably a lot of money to rent that out. And I just feel like anything like that post-COVID, no one's inside of these restaurants, you know, you just feel bad. So I'm the only one in there the whole time. I come out of the restroom and I'm just standing there

and the woman addresses me again. She goes, aloha, can I take out of the restroom and I'm just standing there and the woman addresses me again. She goes, aloha, can I take your order? And then I have to be like, oh, no, you just. The same lady? Yeah, so then I was like, maybe I should have more sympathy for that weather convo. She doesn't know where she's at right now.

Yeah, she's, I mean, just. She's a robot. 45 seconds ago, she took my order. I'm the only one in there. Your time expired, it sounds like, on the questions. She's like, all right, see ya, sounds good. Yeah, she sounds like on the questions. All right. See ya sounds good Yeah, she's like gotta watch. All right, and that's the end of that order She would have done the exact same thing

She would have said all right the exact same time matter wit what you said like how's the weather going? Oh, it's nice out there actually All right, that's good, Aloha we'll bring it out to you All right, that's good. Aloha. We'll bring it out to you. She's on a rhythm. Yeah. Every 45 seconds. She's got a start and end in order. I think that's what it is, maybe. So don't don't be discouraged. All right. Thank you. Yeah, I thought I was really good. I mean, I went into chief meteorologist mode. You got a cold front coming in, you know, Blizzard warning. But I don't know. It was nasty out there. A lot of wind, a lot of blues, a lot of cardboard out there today.

Be careful guys. The sucky thing is dude, I got like my recycling bins not even shut all the way because it's so full. And so it's just gonna fly up again and there's stuff probably everywhere. This isn't over. You're gonna be tromping around all morning. I don't want to think about it too much, but it's all good, man. Um, yeah, I don't know. Let's see what else.

Um, I have a lot of like things written down that are almost like, uh, more reactions to the, uh, ghosties. I suppose, I guess one thing that happened to me this week, um, is I just wrote down Brad do strikes again. Do you remember, um, the comedian? Yeah. is I just wrote down Brad Deuce strikes again. Do you remember? The comedian. Yeah, I don't remember if that's exactly like, I think the inspiration for Brad Deuce

was because there's another guy named Brad Ellis in Kansas City. Yes, who is a comedian. Who's a comedian and kind of even like has my body shape and everything. Well, used to. What? And.

You're doing just fine. There's this guy at church the other day. I overhear like one of our pastors be like, hey, you need to meet this guy. He does standup comedy too. And I'm like, I don't know about two. I don't know if I'm really doing standup comedy too much, but he's like, dude, he's like,

this guy told me that Brad Ellis is standup. He's like, that's not Brad Ellis. I know Brad Ellis. And I'm like, yeah, I should be Brad deuce. I need to be Brad deuce I can't believe that keeps coming up. So if I ever start a comedy page, it's gonna be called Brad deuce I think it has to be it has to be yeah, if nothing else just for for the the sake of anonymity and But Brad deuce also sounds funnier like oh Brad deuce

And but Brad deuce also sounds funnier like oh Brad deuce Yeah, like your first comedy special is you know drop it dropping. Yeah dropping it Yeah, my special drops the deuce is dropping the deuce drops at midnight The deuce drops on YouTube deuce drops at midnight Yeah, it was just kind of a funny conversation with this guy He's he's getting into podcasting, this guy is. Yeah, sure. A little spam call, yeah. This is Epigee, your electric utility provider with an important message.

If you are Jake Triplett, please press one now, or to place the call on hold while you get in. Your account is past due and scheduled for disconnection. It's a minimum payment of $351.29 is not received before March 12th, 2025, your service may be disconnected to reestablish your service. All right, all right, all right, all right.

That's good weather, lady. Wow. They spam you hard these days. The scam calls are getting out of control. You hear how random that number was? Okay, yeah, she's clearly, clearly had an Indian accent. Yeah, nice try. Nice try, Julie.

Yeah. Anyway. That's wild that auto pay stopped working and that $350 is enough to just get it shut down. That's minimum. Yeah, I think you gotta run that up to four figures before they shut off your electricity. Well, you might have more of a payment though,

that's not the minimum. Oh. I don't know. I don't know. How long have I not paid this? Also, they should send you an email or something. You don't like the phone call at 10 a.m.? Don't love it.

10.06, they called you at 10.06 a.m. That's like an automated call, but not automated to the point where it's like, let's do it on the exact. Do you think they have like limits on how many people they can call at once? Yeah, what kind of phone booth is this? It feels like it should be able to be digitally calling. Maybe it is.

I don't know. My account, make payment, don't mind if I do. Don it is. I don't know. My account, make payment. Don't mind if I do. Don't mind if I do. Speaking of Brad Deuce, I am also thinking about my comedy career as well because I just went and performed in South Dakota this weekend.

Yeah, tell us about it. And it was great. Really, the main takeaway is I am like inspired, maybe the right word would be like enthralled by this other guy I met there. I think I've thought about him every day since South Dakota. Oh really? His name is Ted Cunningham.

I've heard of him for years because he's the pastor in Branson. I was gonna say the Branson guy? Yeah. He used to be a K Country director I think back in the day. Okay, so yeah, he was like the pastor of Church of Branson, Woodland Hills, and I've known people who go there,

heard about him for years, yada yada. So first of all, it's just fun to meet him because we've got a thousand mutual friends and a fun of just, we're just going back and forth telling Joe White stories, you know, and just any word, we'd be so anything. What was he, he was the speaker there or what? Yeah, so he's a speaker and author

and all this other stuff in addition to being a pastor. Well, I get to hear him speak. So I do like a 30 minute comedy session and then he goes on after me for like an hour to do kind of like the more kind of like marriage conference type talk or whatever. But dude, I've never seen a talk like this. I don't know how often people are getting

to hear messages like this, but three fourths of it was just a comedy routine. It was amazing. I mean, I was sitting there being like, I'm watching a like top-notch comedian right now and every now and then sprinkle in like a good nugget from the Bible or a biblical parenting and all that stuff. And I was like, this is what I wanna be doing.

This is awesome. I would way rather people expect marriage conference and get comedy rather than expect comedy and sometimes get comedy. But he was so good at it. It was awesome. I'm like, dude, you gotta. He's got dialed in. Yes, it was so good.

One specific joke he did, so this is when, I think Friday was the day of the, Zelensky visited the Oval Office and all that stuff is going down, that's when that's like a really big event. So he gets up there that night and he's like referencing it. Like, I don't know if you guys saw Zelensky in the Oval Office, but it reminded me so much of when I took my kids to Disney World. And he does this whole Trump impersonation being like,

would it kill you to be grateful for $350 billion? Could you say thank you for all that I've done? And I mean, the crowd was losing their minds at this. And it was so fun. Like he just went on and on about how he's Trump and his kids are, you know, Zelensky, not appreciating the Disney World trip.

And so I was like, dude, you have to like post this. I was like, I don't know what your Instagram is like, or if you care about going viral, but this will go viral. I was like, but you have to like post this. I was like, I don't know what your Instagram is like or if you care about going viral, but this will go viral. I was like, but you have to post it tomorrow. Cause I mean, you can't even do this bit two weeks from now. So you might as well. And so we talked to the people, they got them the video, they put captions on it.

The next day I go to check it out. So I find his Instagram. First of all, he's private. So I'm like, that's going to be tough to go viral. With his audience maybe. But within his Instagram. First of all, he's private. So I'm like, that's gonna be tough to go viral. With his audience, maybe. But within his community. And I request to follow him. He accepts it.

And then I see that he has posted to his story. So I was like, I should have been more clear. I could have, I could have been more helpful here. That's my bad. I didn't say where to post it. So probably didn't go viral story, but I bet people liked it. That's my bad. I didn't say where to post it. So probably didn't go viral story, but I bet people liked it. That's fun.

Yeah, I love that. I do think the idea of like speaking, I have that desire. I have the, I think it'd be so fun to, yeah, like obviously there's value that you're providing people when you do standup comedy. Obviously like people have talked about our podcast bringing value to their lives,

but it's like to have like a specific value that you're bringing alongside of like just the levity that we already just naturally have in our lives. Like I think it would be so fun. And I have passion towards family and marriage. And so I'm like, how do I curtail that? Yeah. So it sounds like Ted's the guy. Ted knows. Yeah, he's awesome.

And he even has that kind of this like speaker class. He like sent me this document for free on like how to become like the business side of speaking. And that's cool. Anyway, so inspiring. It was cool. Yeah, I heard great things about him. Yeah, he was awesome.

He was really funny. We had a good time hanging out all weekend. And so yeah, I don't think I'm, you know, I've been married 20 months, probably not ready for to do marriage stuff. You obviously can't do parenting stuff, but Rachel, good point. She's'm, you know, I've been married 20 months, probably not ready for to do marriage stuff. You obviously can't do parenting stuff, but Rachel, good point. She's like, you should speak to like colleges about like career stuff like that. So I was like, all right, good call.

Colleges always have budgets too, which is nice. Like they have, do they actually, because that's what I was wondering. I was like, are they willing to pay like corporate would be? I don't know. Look at my eyes. Oh yeah. Especially. Well, I don't know about especially.

I, I was on the music committee for the union program council at K state. Oh, yeah. Especially, well, I don't know about especially. I was on the music committee for the union program council at K-State. Braggart. And we had a sizable budget. Really? And it was a matter of, yeah, it was very interesting. I think we had, I can't remember the number now,

$50,000, $100,000, something like that. But it was, I could be wrong about the numbers. I was wrong about the trash numbers now. I don't want to be wrong about something else. But it was, I could be wrong about the numbers. I was wrong about the trash numbers. Now I don't want to be wrong about something else. But it was one of those things where it was like, that's our budget more or less. But if you can bring an argument that says like, hey, John Mayer costs a quarter million dollars,

but we're going to be able to sell this many tickets. We can then pitch to John Mayer or we can, whatever, use that. Like as long as we don't lose money, like we can fudge the John Mayer or we can, we can whatever use that. Like as long as we don't lose money, like we can, you know, fudge the numbers to an extent. And so didn't bring in John Mayer, but didn't get John brought in the civil wars, which was pretty cool. Ben Rector. But yeah, I just remember it. Cause like a couple, I think the year before they brought in Jason Derulo. Whoa, watch out, you know, so the game came in there

a couple years earlier. The game. Came to K-State. Yeah. Did people like show up to hear it? Yeah, yeah, I mean not like in droves, but in the game standards, he did all right. Fun, we had fun come.

Oh, that's great. Yeah, that was the time when they were popping probably. Yeah, it was like we got them early. Good job on that. Anyway, I'll just say I think that colleges would be. All right. I don't know about SBU, you know, places that are more small private schools,

but I don't know. UC Berkeley, Harvard. Yeah, I'd probably start Ivy and then maybe go down to, you know. Go across the pond, Cambridge maybe. Yeah, do they have names for their prestigious schools over there? If we have Ivy, what do you think they have? Greenery?

Holly. Holly. Yeah. Garland? Any? Tyman, what's up with you? I've been locking in. So, you did the church lock-in. Oh you? I've been locking in. So did the church lock in? I did Romans and Christians. No, I was just telling Jake that I'm trying to like have a bedtime and a wake up time.

So he's trying to get a nightlight and like a blankie and like, you know, have a good bed. I had a bedtime story. Good teddy bear. No, but I'm trying. I'm trying this out. I only did this but I'm story Teddy bear No, but I'm trying I'm trying this out I only did this my first like day slash last night like doing it But I'm trying to do 10 p.m. And 6 a.m. Love it If that turns out to be like, I don't know, maybe it'll change like 11 and 7, but I like this so far Last night. I think I was asleep by like 1050. So like not bad

I texted diamond late last night for the first time ever. And I was like, surely he'll, he'll see this and like be good. Sorry. No, it's okay. Um, but yeah, I don't know. I went to the gym before recording. So I feel pretty good. No wonder he got here. Um, yeah. So I don't, that's one thing that's new. I love that dude. I think, uh, my recommendation is try to keep waking up early, even if you don't fall asleep. Yeah. It's a little bit of a tricky recommendation

because it's like, well, then I don't get enough sleep. However, if you wake up early, you are then, like the cycle then continues where it's like, okay, now I'm actually tired at 10 p.m. Yeah, absolutely. I think that the early wake up is more important than the exactly 10 p.m. bedtime for me. Like I think my day is much more, yeah,

just like if I wake up at eight versus six, that has a much bigger effect on my day than when I can go to sleep, I think. So yeah. I love that, dude. Thanks. Anxious Generation, this book talks so much about like the idea of sleep and how like, yeah,

the younger generation is just so deprived of sleep right now. And like so much of it's because of technology and screens and whatever, all these different things. But like how important, obviously we know sleep's important, but like how hugely important it is and how much we're just like, that's fine. I'll, I'll be fine. Like I can grin, you know, grin and bear it kind of thing.

Yeah. I'm going to try to keep screens like downstairs as much as possible. Not like in super easy access, but yeah. Yeah. So it goes. Okay. Yeah. Cool, man. Locked in locked in. I'm locked in. Just doing locked in stuff. Yeah. Being locked in. I love being locked in. Good job, man. Thanks. So last Thursday, the day I flew out to South Dakota, really early morning,

the night before we had a volleyball game at 9.30. That's right, yeah. So I got home at 10.45, packing of course, and so really early morning, I think I get to the airport at 5.30 a.m. And I'm wearing my Friday pickleball, it just says Friday on it, like a little rope hat. Not thinking much of it.

And I get to like the TSA agent and You know, yeah super early. She goes I Don't think so and I'm just like what she's like you've got the wrong hat on mister. I was like In my head. Yeah, I'm just thinking like can you just scream at me like the other ones? Like, why is today the day I'm meeting the one TSA agent in a good mood? He's like, no, not until you turn that hat around, buddy.

You're a day early or a day later, whatever she said. And I was like, I want to burn this hat to the ground. I'll just drive. I'll just drive to South Dakota. You're like, just let me through. I'm miserable. Please, please just let me. And so I like took it off and she's like,

that's better, all right, come on in. And so that was how my day started. Really long day, I've been flying there, but shows were great. I think I said this last week, but I mean, compared to the Chicken and Pickle show where 60 people were there and I broke even on the day, this was great.

We had 800 people the first night, 1,100 people the second night. That's crazy. It felt like a theater show, like Detroit, it was awesome. Was it at the church or was it? It was at a church, yeah. Decent sized church there in Sioux Falls. It was fun, it was a good time.

I will say in my set, I think I peaked early, which is sometimes happens. If you find some really good local material, nothing beats the local material. So right off the bat, I'm just dogging on Fargo because I kind of assumed they probably have a little rivalry there. And so, yeah, I'm dogging on them.

And just going off, so I don't even know if it's true or not, but I'm just like making stuff up and saying how Fargo is the turkey bacon of cities. You know, I'm like, and that, cause turkey bacon's great. Fargo is great. As long as you've never had anything else. Yeah. You know, that's all, you know, it's great.

And I love that. That's a good joke because you can, you can insert in any city you want. You're in Dallas, you're like, Houston's the turkey bacon of, you know, it's great if you had nothing else. Yeah. Minneapolis, St. Paul, anything where there's like a rival city.

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good, that's a good point. Memphis, Nashville. Yeah. Let's keep going. Los Angeles, San Diego. I don't know if that's true, but St. Louis, Kansas City, Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis. Everyone hates it.

It was Denver, Fort Collins, Beirut, Baghdad. Beirut Bag. Jacksonville and Jackson Hole. You'd be surprised. You'd be surprised. Because they snowbird. Yep. Because they come down.

That's right. Jersey City, New York. Yep. Perth. Perth and what is it, Glasgow? Glasgow. Yep. Perth and was it Glasgow Glasgow. Yep, perfect glass London and Cambridge one the holly leagues

So Iceland Iceland and Greenland just say rivals. Yeah, island island. There's not too many people in either own. So it's like country Canada US, you know, yeah, Toronto, Coover Yeah Good for you shortening it saving some time. Toronto, Coover. Good for you shortening it, saving some time. Yeah. Beck, Coover, Gury, Coover, Toa, Coover.

Following. Trial, Coover. Trial, Coover. That's about all I know. It's most of them. Yep. That's about what we got. Oh, Burda, Coover.

Burda, Coover. Burda, Coover. So, oh, Bertha Coover. Bertha Coover. So. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. And then another like local joke I did off the top, which that first show felt a little risky. It was like, I think they'll laugh at this, but you don't know. They made the entire audience the part of the joke. So in asking the locals and the guy who hired me, I'm trying to figure out what Sioux Falls known for. He said, we do have an unusual large proportion of banks

and fitness centers. And so I was like, great, I could do material on that. So I'm joking, I've been driving around all day, love senior town. I couldn't believe, I mean, there is a bank or a gym every 10 feet in this town and it got me excited. I was thinking, man, the people who show up tonight, they are gonna be the healthiest,

richest people I've ever seen. And I kind of paused for a while and I'm like, and then I saw you guys walk in here. And then thankfully they did laugh at that. It's like, if they don't, I don't really know how to bail out of this. Just making, just calling the audience poor. But they were great.

And then you kind of lay that foundation. And then the rest of the night with crowd work, I'm like, you know, so no bank, you know, you got a gym membership? Yeah, I didn't think so, you know. But it was good, it was really fun. And got to meet some ghosties. So Ted Cunningham's son-in-law, huge ghostie,

you got a little dribble on your chin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kayden, his wife, Corinne, they wereie. You got a little dribble on your chin. Yeah, no problem. Kayden, his wife, Corinne, they were awesome. Hung out with them all weekend. Oh, Kayden, you told me about Kayden. Oh, I did tell you about Kayden. Yeah, we text. Yeah.

Text, take that time, I need to know about Kayden. Rivalry. Brad, Tymon, Turkey Bacon. Yeah, yeah. Options. They were great. Let's see, who else? Yeah. Options.

They were great. Let's see, who else? I think one of the shows, I'm doing crowd work with a woman in the front row, having a good time, yada yada. Afterwards, she comes in and finds me in the lobby, and I'm like, hey, thanks for being a good sports night. You were great.

She goes, yes, I'm actually like a huge ghostie. Oh my gosh. That's perfect. Yeah. Then I like see your name afterwards on Facebook. Like, oh, you, I, it's Jenna, like POTJ. Yeah. That's not the European looking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That girl. Yeah. Oh yeah. I know who you are. Poacher girl. Portugal and Spain. Right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen.

Medellin. Medellin, so. Portugal. Yeah, yeah. And so she's like, yeah, I'm a ghostie. I'm like, okay, that's already really fun. Crowd work, ghosties. She goes, and, oh no, then she says,

we actually have Friday paddles. I was like, that's so fun. She goes, we bought some this past winter for Christmas. She said, a week after we bought them, I won the free paddle on your YouTube comment winner thing. I go, oh my gosh, that's wild, that's so fun. And then she goes, three weeks after that, my husband won a free paddle on the YouTube comment thing.

Oh, they've hacked it. And I go, that's actually really crazy. Yeah. I mean, we've only given away 52 of those. We're like a year into it. And you and your husband have both won the free paddle. Yeah. And you bought some.

She said, yeah, we were so nervous you guys were going to think something fishy was happening that we changed our address on the second one. Oh. And delivered it to her friend's house or something. Because you would. Yeah, Scott is checking. Yeah.

I don't think so. That's the same last name. Hack into the mainframe. Oh, that's funny. What a fun coincidence. Well, okay. I am curious. Like, do you actually random randomly choose those or is it like, hey, that's a good comment? It is somewhat. Yeah, I mean, it's all just chosen by me. Okay. So what it is, it's not just like, that's a good comment, but I think very early on, I chose someone who just commented the word, they commented paddle, okay, screenshot, whatever. And that person lived in Saudi Arabia or something, so like, ooh, tough to get them a paddle.

Ooh, we're losing some money on this one. So what I try to do is pick someone who looks like they have a clear understanding of English to make sure like, all right, the odds are better that they live in America. So that's, I screenshot those. Good to know. Yeah. I was curious if it was just like, yeah, you know, we, they have 252 comments.

Let's just pick up one number one through 252. I think there are programs that can give you a random YouTube comment generator, but now I try to pick some. Okay. I figured. Yeah. Cause they were always like decent comments. It's not like, battle, whatever. Also, I'm pretty sure there's a couple people I've seen, they're like ghosties, like Mike Harris,

I think is his name. I chose his comment one week. I'm like, hey, he's a ghostie, sure. He always showing a lot of love. And then I saw that he continued, this might be the same for Greg Payne too. Both of you guys, I think you've been chosen as a comment winner, but you continue to comment the word So maybe maybe there's just need more. Yeah, I also makes me wonder like, did you know have you redeemed?

Yeah, how do you read it? You just email him email DM us whatever whatever. Okay, huh? They just want more maybe maybe hey change your last name, maybe you'll win, Gregory. Yeah, switch the address up. I'm about to sneeze. Gosh, I got stuff in my nose, man. Gosh, I got coffee in my veins, man. Say what now? I got coffee in my veins, man.

And it's making you sneeze? No, you see me sneezing? No, dog, got coffee in my veins, dog. dog nose is kind of red your eyes kind of watery the coffee Do I look like I'm sneezing? Do I look like I'm sneezing dog? Do I look like I got coffee my veins dog? No dog bring it here. I got nappity Indiana my veins dog Happy to hear that I died dog. This is Brad's new character. His name is Xander with a Z Yeah Xander right here on my... Tatted up, dog.

That's my coffee, dog. Listen, I'm willing to make a mess in my house for Main Street Roasters. Every single day, I'd get a big old bag of beans. I'd get a big old bag of beans and I would put them right in my veins, dog. So. I, Brad doesn't know this, but I was over at their house.

They didn't know I was there, but I overheard a conversation between Brad and Catherine. I was in the garage, kind of peeping in. And Catherine said, Brad, I'd really appreciate it if you could not spill coffee. Yeah. And Brad said, I'm only gonna say this once. Dog. Yeah. And Brad said, I'm only going to say this once. Dog dog.

I'll spill coffee every day. If I have to, if that's what it takes to fill my body, to fill my bloodstream with main street roasters, right here, right here, right roasters right here right here right here Right here some people give blood. I give coffee out of these veins. I give coffee. What's your blood type? What's your blood type? My blood type is Our positive beans positive Right type grkc positive

You type grkc into your, you get 10% off. I type GRKC into my veins. I got mainstream roasters in there, dog. You use that, use that promo code at a blood bank. You only have to give 10% of what other people give. Wow, dog. You pay it forward. Wow.

That's a lot off, dog. That's a lot off, dog. And so yeah, it was shocking the way Brad spoke to her, but I thought about it for, I don't know, two seconds. And I, yeah, it was shocking the way Brad spoke to her, but I thought about it for, I don't know, two seconds, and I was like, that makes total sense. It's a trade-off you have to make, dog. It's a trade-off you have to make, so be like Brad. Yeah, dog.

Sacrifice whatever it takes, disappoint your wife, make a mess of your garage, whatever you need to do to make sure you can get that sweet, sweet Main Street Roasters beans in your bean stream every single day. Dog. 10% off, dog. Dog.

Dog. Dude, you ever seen that classic, like video of the guy who's messing with scammers and he eventually the scammers like screaming. So he's got that voice changer. He pretends to be like an old lady. So it's pretty impressive like little shtick he does, or he's pretending to be a super incompetent old lady

who works at Hawaiian Bros. And it's just like, how do I do this? Just, and the whole thing is just to waste scammers time. And sometimes he'll get them really riled up, where he gets so close to like accepting the scam and then he'll like, he'll go back a page. And these scammers are just going nuts. And anyway, he found a way to like really mess with them.

And so it's just like infamous, a famous clip of just like this guy screaming at this old lady, do not redeem, do not redeem. I feel like I've seen it like get memed in other places. But anyway, that's Mike Harrison. That's them. I do not want to redeem. Do not redeem.

Do not redeem. I have not seen that. That Do not redeem. Do not redeem. Do not redeem. I have not seen that. That sounds great though. It's a fun type of content because you can watch it and even though it's evil, you could feel good about it. Yeah.

You're like, no, you're wasting the bad guy's time. Yeah, you're rooting for the, yeah, the good guy still. Yeah. Yep. Even though he's doing something that like normally you shouldn't do or something like lead them on. Yeah, that's good. That's how I felt about Ocean's Eleven.

It was like, I'm rooting for the bad guys, but I think they have some cause, you know? So time we never seen Ocean's 11. I'm not. Oh, letterbox. I'll do it. Today I take the watch list. It's great, man. And right now I'm, I'm parched after I do not redeem. I gotta get some water. Great. I'll be right back. While you do that, listen to this. Maybe you've already gotten the text as well, but I'm gonna read this text from... Pause.

RENDALL WEAVER! You guys know about this? You seen this? Okay, so, RENDALL WEAVER texted me, um, Sunday. Sunday afternoon. A picture of a letter. I'm talking loud so Jake can hear me. A letter. He says, Brad, this is crazy. I'm on a five week mission trip to Paraguay right now. And I just arrived where I'm staying at and I find this paper on my bed. You talk about a community. Time and I'll send this to you so you can put in the video, but the letter says, well, Rindle my Weaver. We got word that a well-known fellow

ghostie was going to be in town. We hope Paraguay and this house, I think, sorry, I can't read, whatever. This house and people become special to you like they have been for us. Have a great time. God bless. Oh, now I got to read their names. Jake and Kendra Horning. That's crazy, man. That's awesome. It says, say hello to Jake time and Brad for us next time you see them. I heard enough. That is crazy. Paraguay. Someone knew him from his name in Paraguay. Yeah. Like somebody was like, well, yeah, I hear that rental reaver we rental weavers coming. Um, So if we, what my takeaway is, if we make every ghostie who listens to us,

if we make their name famous, the world is gonna get a lot smaller. Because they're gonna be able to connect. Yeah, so Mike Harris, there's probably only one of them. Yeah. So he's next. He's next, Greg Payne. Greg Payne. You're going to Mission Trip, let me know how it goes.

Yeah, yeah, Greg, spread the gospel, no pressure. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, he said, apparently there's a few midnight couples down here and we're staying at their friend's house. Another midnight couple. And yeah, I was shocked to say the least. So I mean, what a, what a small world, crazy coincidence, everything. So that's cool. That reminds me. Now I can't think of who it was. Someone recently in my life has known you, Taiman, because they go to the same church as you. Was it at Chicken and Pickle? Wait, I got it.

No, this was Caleb, the guy who shot the stuff in Phoenix. Oh. I think he has family and was it Grant Lee? Grant Lee? Gridley. Gridley. Gridley, oh cool. I feel like you should have got that before Brad

Yeah, were you thinking green leaf? I was I was like green leg green leaf green Lee Yeah, well cuz he's from Central, Illinois I was like or did you say Illinois grid Lee lives in Colorado Springs now I don't know. Okay, somehow I had heard if I thought I would have heard no, maybe he is from there I can't remember. I don't know. Where's somehow I had heard he thought I heard heard. No, maybe he is from there I can't remember. I don't know. Where's Greg Payne from see how I did that. We're boosting up Greg Payne His name is Jenna Portugal. Yeah That's cool though, that's awesome and I think it's happened another time too. Basically this AC church bigger than you think. Well, yeah Yeah, connected. Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't like you guys all know each other. Yeah, it's kind of cool JD Vance is AC I think no he was hillbilly elegy. That's what it is. That's what it is. I think you know Trump

I'm thinking Trump. Yeah. Yeah Good five seconds Anyway crazy about Rental Weaver dude, like that's wild. Yeah, that's really cool. Just Paraguay You don't hear much about Paraguay. Name another person that even has used the word Paraguay in the last year. Name even a single thing about it next to Uruguay. Asuncion. That's the president. Yep. Asuncion! Asuncion 24. Isn't Asuncion Paraguay? I don't know what. Capital. Oh, that's a city.

Okay. Cool. Asuncion, I'll look it up. It's either Uruguay or Paraguay. Also, they want us to say Uruguay probably. You're right. Asuncion. Asuncion, Paraguay.

I learned the capital. Paraguay. Back in like eighth grade for all the Spanish speaking countries, so quiz me on any of them. Monte Vido. Monte Vido, Uruguay. Lima. Lima. Peru.

Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires, Argentina. Santiago. Santiago, Chile. Sucre. You're looking at me, but it sounds like Tymon's got the list in front of him. Sucre, I don't know Sucre. That's Michael Schofield's roommate in Prison Break. It's Spanish of him. Sucre. I don't know Sucre. That's Michael Schofield's roommate in Prison Break.

It's Spanish for sugar. Sucre. Spanish for sugar. Michael Schofield's Prison Break. Fox. Wednesday night. Fox. Wednesday night.

8 7 Central. Later Netflix. 8 7 Central. 8 7 Central. What is Sucre from? The capital is Bolivia. What? I don't know.

The flag is Bolivia. Red, yellow, green. Sucre Bolivia. Bolivia. Bolivia? The capital is Bolivia. What? I don't know. The flag is Bolivia. No. Red, yellow, green. Sucre Bolivia?

I told you what Sucre was. Yeah, it's not the capital. Is? Michael Schofield's room. Bolivia. What? Prison break season one. It's gotta be.

You're right. Probably. I hate that. I don't know. La Paz was La Paz, Bolivia. Yeah, but I didn't say the country was Bolivia. It's got to be. You're right. Probably. I hate that. I don't know that La Paz was La Paz Bolivia. Yeah, but I didn't say the country was Bolivia. It was something else. The country is Sucre, right? I don't think. If there's a country named Sucre, they just slid it in under one of the radar. Was I saying the capitals or the countries? You were saying the capitals and then Brad would say the country. And then you threw in sugar. Okay. Cause I, I like, I'm unfamiliar enough that I wasn't sure which one I was saying. This is weird. I looked it up. I looked up capital of Bolivia.

This is curious. Big old, big old Google letters. Sucre. But then it says the constitution constitutional capital is the historic city of Sucre, where the Supreme Court is established, but the administrative capital is La Paz, where the executive and legislative branches of government function. So you were right. That's weird though. You guys are both right.

Yeah, Sucre, constitutional capital, La Paz, administrative capital. Does that happen anywhere else? What gives? Sucre is also the capital of the Chukwisaka Department. Chukwisaha, Sabin Central,. Chuquisaca, Sabin Central, Chuquisaca, Sabin Central. Wow.

It's located in the Fertile Valley in the south. Fertile Valley south, Fertile Valley south. You say it in the top. Fertile Valley. I'll be up a joke if you want. Fertile Valley, Brandon Imch, Fertile Valley, Brandon Impsh. Fertile Valley, Brandon Impsh. There it is. There it is.

So that was some of South America's capitals. Yeah, plus. A little more. I got them all. What's the capital of Columbia? Oh yeah, Bogota, Columbia. That's right. Remember when we were in Chick-fil-A

and we said, what's the capital of Missouri? Yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, I got a text from Drew Severance. Did he text you? No, what'd he say? It sucks to be you. He said, it took me a bit yesterday to realize the camera was moving in the back seat to track my movement.

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. You guys are so funny, I love it when y'all come through. Okay, good. I did see Rocco the next day and he was like, oh no, dude, they were loving it, they were loving it. That's good to know. I was like, okay, because I thought about, I need to call Drew.

I know, I thought about it afterwards too. I was like, were we bad? Yes. Did we do bad? Oh yes, yeah. And of course that was not our intention. Yeah. Right, Timon? Timon?

Timon. It was mine. But two out of three good intentions. Two out of three good intentions, yeah. Speaking of that episode, I love what you texted us, Timon, this morning. It was just funny to see someone's comments. Who was this?

This is Kelsey Lucy. Kelsey Lucy, Ace of the Central. Kelsey Lucy, eight seven central. Kelsey Lucy, Columbia. Well, the original post on Ghost Runners podcast came from Danny Parkhurst. Danny Parkhurst, Wyoming. Danny Parkhurst, Wyoming. She's from Arizona.

Danny Parkhurst, does she live near Mike Harris? Good. You're welcome, Mike. Danny Parker's probably be real near us come August. Hello. Because I think I've seen her say that she's setting aside the ample. And the narrow.

See. See, see, see, see. But Kelsey Lucy, eight, seven central said, I'm listening back to the original drive-through episode and it's chaos. Hope they have a better way to secure the cameras this time, which is great because we did spend time and Brad spent a lot of time securing the cameras.

Time, I mean, I was like his little servant boy, fetch me a rubber band. And I'd fetch him a rubber band. Fetch me something to hold it. I'd get him a wallet. Fetch me something narrower. And this is how he spoke to me. Yes.

Squire boy, Kelsey Lucy's gonna be worried about this Turns out it was all just a prank on you though because it wasn't secure at all. Ah Frank no, it was better than that. It was pretty good. Yeah, it wasn't it wasn't bad We we wanted it to be a little bit raw, right? Yeah Yeah to produce used Rachel's makeup holder Yeah, that's right. We're great got some tape on the makeup holder double-sided tape never got it back from timing Really timing take it off his paycheck Right all this requests

What do you think tape goes for these two? 25 99 in per hour. It was double-sided. Yep. Oh 50 bucks per hour it's been gone. Was it double sided? Yep. Oh, 50 bucks. 50.99. Oh, we're goofing. It was a fun, it was, I hope people loved it.

And I hope, I'm glad that Drew said that to you. Cause I asked, I asked Will, I saw Will the next day. I was like, did Drew say anything to you? Yeah, you think he's mad. Cause Will and Drew are best friends. I mean, they're brothers, but they're best friends. And I'm like, he's like, no, he didn't say anything. I was like, okay, I just want to make sure.

I haven't listened back to too much of it. I'll tell you what I did listen to. And for the first time in my life, I experienced what other people tell us where they're like, I almost dropped my weights listening to you guys. It is kind of a hazard. I was like bench pressing. And then I got to some part where I was given time and our time. I forgot what it was. It was like, it was she like timing anything like midge and the way that you guys laughed made me laugh hard while been pressing. I was like, I got to stop. I got like fast forward this part of whatever. So I can't believe I happened to myself, but I do get it now. Yeah. But what I was going to say was from memory, I feel like that episode is like mountains and valleys. Like there were some slow times,

but then all of a sudden we see your dad. It's like, this is awesome. Yeah. Why are we get to Logan or like, this is awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm curious to listen back to it too. I haven't really, uh, yeah. Been able to see too much. I did go like fast forward to the part with my dad to be like, what was that like on camera?

And yeah, you see time. It was like zoom in on my dad. It's like, there is what's going on. Hey, everybody. What are you doing? Yeah. What do you say? So you guys want to ask me college cities or what? Yeah.

Any college, you know, I think he might have thought that like it was live, like or something. Like anybody asked me anything. Go ahead. Go ahead. Everyone listening, tune in right now. Just want to say thank you to everybody. And by the way, I'm Brad's dad. Thank you, New York. Live from Sucre. The administrative capital. Yeah, that's right. Anyway, it was a great time. I think

overall, I mean, that's, I listened back to part of the original one and like, yeah, it was like, it wasn't like just wild the entire, there was a time where I was like, Hey, stall real quick. I'm going to go throw away some trash. Like I was throwing away trash in the dumpster. Yeah. We had a pretty low bar. So it's not like, Oh, we got to do whatever.

So anyway, yeah, it was fun. We'll have to do something like that again. Yeah. Keep it fresh. A couple quick things to mention, I wanna make sure I get them set on the Monday episode, is next Wednesday, so that's March 12th, no, that's this Wednesday. Yeah. All right, take it again, from the top.

Two days from now. When this episode was released. This week, this Wednesday, if you live in the area, not only is Wednesday night the tournament night of our indoor volleyball league so should be fun but in addition to that I don't think we've said this on the podcast yet Nathan Cooley friend of ours employee of ours yeah 1099 contractor of ours good Connor Kelderman what's that contractor of ours. Good, Connor Kelderman wants that. Contractor of ours. Contracted person. Is making, he's in a class right now. It's like a documentary class in college.

And so he's making a documentary about the Ghostrunners podcast, which is very exciting. So him and a crew of people are flying into Kansas City. They're gonna be here for like three days. You guys probably have seen, like he's done a ton of interviews with certain people virtually. He's going to interview us, be filming us, interview Taiman, whoever else.

And he wants to get a ton of footage of like other things happening. So all that to be said, if you want to come to the game, he will be filming the volleyball that night as well. I think he wants to get aspects of that. So I was like, yeah, I'll invite the ghosties to come out. That'll be great. Come see the squad.

Come see Tate Unruh just soar above the net and then use two fingers to tip it over. Just trying to find a little weak spot. You know, change up, change up. Yeah, the tape tips. Effective as a fastball. I giggle every time. This is his other team.

I mean, they're up there sitting in two blockers and if they only knew, and he's like Gandhi up there is a pacifist. I don't want to hurt anybody. Just, oh, in that little corner over there. Desmond Dawson, one way or the other, boom, boom. One more, please Rachel, give me one more. Please Rachel, send me one more.

Yeah, don't go to the small town in Alabama, go to the racetrack, right, Jake? Go to the racetrack. That'll be fun. Yeah, I'm curious to see what the documentary experience

is gonna be like. I'm excited about it. Yeah, yeah, full three days here. So yeah, that'll be fun. And then I guess speaking of, yeah, racetracks, Ghosty Getaway, keep marking your calendars. Don't forget, August 16th through 23rd. I would say that the preliminary signups are going fast,

or the unofficial wait list is going fast from just like people we've talked to. It seems like a lot of people have cleared PTO, cleared their schedule. I don't know if people bought flights yet, but a lot of people have committed to coming even though it's not available to be bought yet. I know, well, yeah.

Okay, next week, if you're listening to this on Monday, next Monday, we will put it out there. It'll be available. Yes. Okay, cool. I will say I think I'll probably give early access to the people who have been there before and Patreon people. So if you want to get on Patreon right now, I bet by Thursday unofficially, it'll be ready. And before all that, Hannah Warner gets first dibs.

That was the agreed upon terms. Oh, okay, perfect. She lost out on tickets to a comedy show. She's like, all I ask is that I get first dibs. That sounds pretty good to me. So that's fun that Hannah Warner's coming. That means bank's coming. So.

That is fun. It's gonna be great. Let's talk about more. We've talked about Mike Harris a lot, right? We have. Let's talk about Beth Roe for a second. Okay. That's where you go when you do something bad.

You're like, well, he's on Beth Roe. Yeah. What meal do you want? No, Beth Roe is a ghostie and I am amazed. I should have had it pulled up and like had like a archive of all these comments that she posts on our YouTube, but it feels like every time she has an experience for whatever we're talking about. Do you feel like this? Yeah. Like, Oh, funny you mentioned that. I just did this. Yeah. It's crazy. You talk about Nobel prizes. I studied Nobel prizes for four

years. It's like, no, how you have something for everything. Uh, the latest one is on Monday's episode, we mentioned pretty briefly, Salty Iguana. And she's like, Salty Iguana was, you know. Yeah, $100,000 in taxes they haven't paid. How the heck did she know that though, dude? Yeah, she had it before it broke. It's like, you just have Salty Iguana alerts on your phone or you read about every restaurant closing

like in Kansas City or like I saw it was posted today by like the Kansas City Star, but she knew it five days ago. Yeah. I looked it up and how I found a story on it, but I'm like, what, how? And so my, this, this segment is called, let's test Beth Roe and let's just throw out different ideas and see if she has specific connections to them. Let's test Bethro. That reminds you, don't forget I have a game for the ghosties to play as well. Bookmark. All right.

Let's test Bethro. Let's test Bethro. Let's test Bethro. Yeah. We are on Bethro. That sounds weird. I mean like, well, Bethro. So that's as far as I've gotten in the idea. Okay.

So go ahead and. Day trading. Day trading. She's like, yeah, my husband day traded for six years alongside of micro farming. I lost my first mortgage to day trading. Funny as say that. Yeah.

Day trading slash micro farming of, specifically of root vegetables. OK. Hey, hey, Bethrow, try it. Try this on for size. Antarctica, Antarctica. What do you got there? Huh? She's like, we went on an art cruise, actually. You didn't know they had them, but there was only four ninety nine for eight nights. Yeah.

Less than the cost of double sided tape. Um, double sided tape next double cost of double-sided tape. Double-sided tape next. Double-sided tape. Double-sided tape. Hey, Bethro. Hey, Bethro. Nettie Pots.

Yep. So. That's a fun little like lob to someone when you're doing improv is like, and of course the opposite. Right. And then they get to say whatever me and Stu Polson always do that at Can It Cut K-Lifes.

Cause we would always, you know, you try to think of some creative way to go from dancing to everyone sitting down. And we would always, you know, you try to think of some creative way to go from dancing to everyone sitting down. And we would always do something like, so you've got to like lay on your stomach and make sure, because the evil, you come up with some character, he can only see things that are up high.

So you got to be laying on your stomach. Stu, what's the opposite of laying on your stomach? And then it's always, you know, pogo-sticking. Of course, you cannot pogo-sting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love, yeah, and then it's always you know pogo sticking right of course you cannot pogo stick. Yeah, yeah, I love Yeah, when you when you have somebody else that you can like trust to do it with like yeah like if No offense time, but if I was like the opposite daddy pot timing I hate you guys Yeah, and eventually it just takes practice or whatever, but I be like yeah Jake the whatever this that you know, whatever but

What's your you go? What were you saying you had something better I don't know what I was gonna say I was just gonna look at my shirt Notice anything. Mm-hmm It's say it all three say it three. What you guys are both noticing. One, two, three. Soft clothes. That's right. Cozy Earth is now promoting their sweet and soft clothes.

Sweet and soft. Sweet and soft, yeah. You've heard of sweet and sour chicken. You know, I'll just backtrack. Their clothes are soft. Yes. And people will say, whoa, those are sweet. Yeah. And you'll say, well, those are sweet.

Yeah. And you'll say, where'd you get those? It's viscose from bamboo actually. No way. I've heard of that. I mean, this is probably like four out of the past five weeks that I've podcasted in cozy earth clothing. And it's not just so I have something to talk about because trust me, if I did, I would

have had something a little more clever to say it's just because that's what I enjoy wearing. It's what I wear it to bed. I wear it to work. I wear it in the airport. It's just because that's what I enjoy wearing. It's what I wear to bed, I wear it to work, I wear it in the airport, it's the coziest thing, it's the softest thing known to man. Yeah, you wear it even when we're not sponsored by Cozy Earth. Exactly, yeah, yeah, I just, I love it.

The main things I would encourage you guys to buy, I mean, they have a robust website, a lot of different options. I mean, you know, hand towels, socks, slipper, whatever. But the main things I would encourage, the things that I get the most joy out of are the bedsheets and the clothing. I think any type of like thick hoodie you see on their side

or thick joggers, anything that's like made from like the viscose from bamboo, that is the top notch material. I'd recommend getting that. Yes. It's really nice. It is, it's great. Catherine just the other day put fresh ones on.

She's like, I changed them out. We're leaving for Texas in the morning. And so she's like, I want some fresh ones when we get back. Oh, that is going to be nice. You're going to probably end up coming home a day early. I'm like, what's waiting on you. I'll say this. I'm not looking forward to sleeping in Texas because it's well, we might bring our own sheets. And if we do, they're going to be cozy earth. So if you go to cozy earth.com slash ghost runners, you can see this and more, all that and more. I'm looking at their footwear right now. They got some nice looking cozy socks

in all sorts of different lengths, varieties. I'm looking, I mean, they have it all. So once again, CozyEarth.com slash Ghostrunners, use our promo code GRKC. 40. 40% off. 40% off. That's amazing. That's amazing. I even told people after, I was talking to Ghosties after my show in South Dakota,

and I think they brought up Cozy Earth, and I was like, I don't know how else to say it, but I promise you, it's worth the investment. Yes. It's so good. Right. Their stuff is good. Support them, support us.

Really appreciate it. Yes. That's it. Yes. Sweet and sour. Yes. My and sour. Yes. My game for the ghosties,

I thought about this last night. I was, I bought a new batch of protein and it said, how did you hear about us? And I thought, you know what, just for kicks, I'm gonna say, I clicked on other and I said, Ghost Runners podcast. Love that. So here's my challenge to the ghosties.

And here's my offer. I haven't cleared this with Brad. Definitely haven't cleared this with Tyman. Here's what I'm gonna say. Let's throw this out there. Every time you buy something not off Amazon, like an actual website, and it says, how did you hear about us?

On which you go down, you're gonna click Other, and then you're gonna click Ghost Runners Podcast and just assume everything you've ever bought came from us. If that company eventually sponsors us, we will give you a hundred dollars. Yes, I agree. Brad's okay with it. Timon's giving me kind of a face. It says like, yeah, I got it. That's like, that's like four double sided chips. We got timon's on camera now, so we can't just take stuff up for what time it's doing. But yeah, how do you think about

what do you think about that game? I think that's great. Yeah. The old affiliate style. Also just screenshot in send them our way of like Ghost Writers podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got here. Yeah. Because it's fun. Like people have bought Brick recently and like sent me like, hey, man, you do this thing, whatever. So that'd be so fun to just be like, yeah, I heard from Ghost Writers. You should you should have them sponsored you

guys. Yeah. Vice versa. Because yeah, that'd be that'd be cool. I love that. Fun little game. That's a really fun game. Timon, you posted a video of you singing yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Thank you. I watched it twice at two different times. Oh, cool. Yeah, I got on Instagram. It was there. Listen to it. Later that night, brushing my teeth on Facebook, posted a Facebook story, listened to it again. Fun.

Cried both times. Did you really? Yeah, it was hard to determine what was the toothpaste and what were my own tears. It was just really minty toothpaste, yeah. Salty. Oh sinner, yeah. You seen Oh Brother, We're Out though?

Or listened to the soundtrack? No. Oh. Add it to the list. I got so much stuff in my watershed, guys. The soundtrack is so good and they have that song on there. Cool. Yeah, that's cool. I think me and possibly like all four of like the boys are going to sing that song together.

Yeah, me, Zach, Oliver and Graydon, because we're all like Graydon's about to start taking lessons from Dr. Smith. And so we've all four will be taking lessons from him. Cool. And so, yeah, we're just going to work on that. And like, Dr. He's just great at like anything music and just arranging. I mean, you heard it's like a different sound at like stacks and then you're in a

new key and like, yeah, it's going to be cool. I noticed all that. I was like, it's stacking and now it's a new key. That's interesting. So he was able to stack on the keys. Okay. And he's playing 88 keys. Layered up the four, four by four measure.

The four by four. The all terrain. That's what they call four part harmonies. Yeah, four by four. Four by four. Four stacks. Four by four, yep. Scatter plot.

Fence post, four by four. Yeah, good. I really do love that song because a strange memory to it. Before YouTubers were even like doing challenges like this on the limo trip, one day we got to Raleigh, North Carolina and we were like, by the end of the day, we are gonna find a turtle.

That was the whole YouTube video, which is like, that's like modern YouTube now. We are ahead of the trend. It's all day, we're trying to find a turtle. That's the whole video. We finally found one, find one. And then we decide like, well, we should set them free. We've had them for a little bit.

Let's let them go back. And so the sun is setting and there's a river. And Kyle's like, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna do a little ceremony. You guys don't mind. And I'm just gonna walk him down there. And so he starts walking down, doing like a military march down to the river. And then he goes, Ty, can I get some music?

And then Ty, without skipping a beat, just starts singing. I went down to the river. And then he goes, Ty, can I get some music? And then Ty, without skipping a beat, just starts singing, I went down to the river. And just like sings this beautiful song at sunset as like Kyle is like saluting this turtle. And we have like all these onlookers just being like, what is going on? And if you watch it back, like it's shaking

cause I'm like laughing so hard of like how like oddly beautiful this is to release the turtle turtle so great song timing So Rick record it and then somebody will go and get that footage from Overlay it on top. Yeah, that'd be amazing. That's hilarious, dude Good times that I remember that that was an earlier episode Wasn't it probably would have been yet East Coast. I mean episode 15 16 probably good memory. Yeah, I remember I don't know if I watch that whole one. I'll be honest. Yeah, you Coast, I mean episode 15, 16 probably. Good memory. Yeah, I remember, I don't know if I watched that whole one. I'll be honest.

Yeah, you know. All right, I think they're fighting the turtle here. I got it, I think I got it. Yeah, you know, it wasn't a perfect YouTube video. Didn't have our retention strategies dialed in yet. It wasn't Club Limo, you know. Best nightclub in New York. Good times. Good times watching Jake in the limo, baby.

Good times. Well. Well. Well. Well. So, locked in? Locked in. Do you guys want to do reviews of the week or?

Yeah, sure, why not? What else? I don't know, there's nothing else here. I got things for next week, or next, on Wednesday. I got segments on segments. Do you need a review? I screenshotted one and I also have one on my laptop. This was a real nice one from Claire.

Yeah, sure, thank you. Wow, your font is so small. Keeps the eyes fresh. All right, Claire Young, 1049 is a YouTube comment, right? Correct. Holy cow. Okay, I feel like it's finally time for me to comment since I'm an OG ghostie.

I found you guys in 2019 when I was a junior in high school and I was looking for podcasts to listen to while I worked as a part-time custodian after school. Now I'm 21, graduated from college last year, and I'm now living in France and traveling around Europe. Through it all, you guys have been a constant for me in the last six years. Has it really been that long?

This has become my ultimate comfort pod, and I'm super grateful to you guys for bringing laughter and positivity to my days. I love the community you've created, despite my tendency to just lurk. Maybe I'll come in again in another few years, and we can see where we're at. Love y'all. Have a good week, ghosties. Thank you, Claire Young. Claire Young.

I think it's, oh, sorry. I always lock the screen. We love the ghosties and lurking. We understand that not everyone's a commenter. We understand that not everyone's going to be verbally expressive of things, but that means so much that you do comment, but also we understand if you're just one that just likes to listen in the background. Yeah, it's pretty common that I meet go-sees in real life and like, sorry, I'm a go-see, you wouldn't know me,

I never comment. I'm like, that's okay. I don't comment on any of the podcasts I listen to. Right, but you still like them. Yeah, so it's awesome. Thank you, Claire. Thank you, Claire. All right, this is a email, a long one from Charis,

and I'll kind of summarize certain parts of it, but she said, I've been wanting to send a message for almost a year, so I was trying to get caught up, but today's the day. Finally caught up on every Ghost Runners episode. I want to start by thanking you guys for your commitment to your faith, the pod, and the ghostly community. I started listening last January after seeing Jake and Trey on tour. When I went to see the tour, I had just moved to Oklahoma from Michigan

after losing the ministry job of my dreams. I was lost, confused, and grieving. I'd never been to Oklahoma. I knew no one here. I decided to go to the show alone just to get out of my apartment for a bit. I'm so glad I did because that's where I discovered Ghost Runners. I decided to go to the show alone just to get out of my apartment for a bit. I'm so glad I did because that's where I discovered Ghost Runners. You guys have changed my life for the better. It makes me emotional just thinking about how big of a blessing you've been to me and how the Lord has used

you to bring joy, healing and laughter into a really difficult season of life. This past year I had the potential to be really lonely, but in moments of loneliness or wondering what the heck am I doing in Oklahoma? I would put on the pod. You guys have become a source of comfort for me. I really can't say enough how thankful I am for you guys

and the community you fostered. It truly is a gift from God and you are steering it carefully, but with open hands so the Lord can do with it what He wills. It's beautiful to be a small part of it. I'm excited to be along for the ride, whatever lies ahead for Ghostrunners.

I hope to make it to a meetup soon. Also, you guys make me want to check out KC. There's so much more I want to say, but I'll leave it at that. Thank you again. Great email. That's sweet. Thank you for taking the time to tell us that.

That's real nice. It's awesome. And I'm glad you came to the show. Started all this. That's right, yeah. I wonder how that start, like did she then look at your profile on Instagram? Did she then? Yeah

Here new meet somebody in line, you know, whatever. I don't know like that's probably most Common is just there's so many of the ghosties there and you hear all these people talking like what is this? How many why are all these people having Ghost Runners shirt? Uh-huh. Does that mean? Yeah Where do you where can you buy those go for that life slash shop? Okay, interesting Farmers market in sucre.

Sure, Jake and Brad will see you now Short Jake and Brad will see you now Without knowing that song very well, it sounded great. I was gonna say I don't know as far as I know that was an original That was I know it's wicked, but that's all I know. Oh, was it really? Yeah. Yeah, it's a good song Should I see so we've we talked about your list time and it goes oceans 11 Desmond Dawes was hacks our edge and then oh brother are thou yeah my list Ranking for me wicked Truman show

Yeah, okay Truman show then wicked, but I I would like wouldn't put it that far below. Wicked's great. I like wicked a lot. Okay. But play chess, not checkers here, Timon. Do you think Jake would like wicked a lot? Play chess with me. I don't know. He brought it up. I think maybe, maybe. I think you might like, yeah, I think you'll like it.

Let me ask you this. I think it's funny. Ariana Grande is really funny. Oh, well that's good. Yeah. I like that. Is it less than an hour long? So it's two and a half That that is a pretty big barrier of entry for that. It's pretty long

It's hoping it was like 45 minutes Can you they have like a condensed version like a YouTube takes away something? Yeah, great scenes like a vid angel version of it. Mm-hmm. Just the good parts. I'll make one for you. Angel, thank you. Thanks. Would you rather watch only the talking parts or only the singing parts of Wicked? If you had to choose. Talking parts.

Yeah. So probably play Just Not Checkers. Wicked's down on the list. Really? The dude doesn't want to listen to the singing. Yeah. The songs are the best part of Wicked, I think. I'm trying to think the last time.

There's some that aren't great. I don't know. I don't know. The songs are the best part of Wicked, I think. I'm trying to think the last time. There's some that aren't great. I don't know. I don't know. Last time I've seen a movie like this, though. So, hey, I'm growing up. Maybe I have an appreciation for the fine arts these days. Have you seen Grey Showman?

Not really. I think it's been on. And I've been in the house. But never watched it all the way through. I couldn't really describe the plot to you. I don't really know what happens. That's another one where the songs are the move like they make the movie I think the story's fine, and I will say if the wicked music is as good as the greatest showman music

I'm in I'll watch it. I think great music is awesome It is but some might I don't know we'll see I saw a meme that was like musicals were like normal movies But they just choose to ruin it every 15 minutes normal movies, but they just choose to ruin it every 15 minutes. It's like, I don't agree with that, but I thought it was pretty funny. That's how I felt as a kid, like, yeah, be like, oh, they're singing again. Okay. Here we go. That almost sounded like you were about to go into a song.

Oh, they're singing again. Oh, they're singing again. Will they stop singing? You know what movie I absolutely hated was lame. The new lame is. That's actually what I was going to guess. I heard people say it's, it's pretty weird. I liked it, but it's, it's takes a, yeah, I don't know. I don't, I'm not surprised. And I also don't blame you at all for not liking it. Cause Ian Hathaway had short hair. Who wants to see that? Not me. Yeah. I like Anne Hathaway in Batman.

Yeah. Yeah, she was great in that, because she had long hair. Yep. Yep. If I wanted to see Anne Hathaway with short hair, I'd go to the local middle school and just stare at the boys. And you don't want to do that.

And I don't want to do it either. And you don't want to do that, yeah. Good for you. That's, yeah, that's exactly what it is.
