It's friend Zach here in the studio with us today. Timon is currently cheating on us with another local K-N-City content

creator. That's right guys. We bought this house for $250,000 and we're going to... I thought you were doing Timon at first. It's like this is not close to how Timon talks. You're doing our Egyptian friend. I was trying to do Johnny Yousef. So guys, I bought this house for $250,000. I put $100,000 into it and I'm guys, I'm thinking I'm going to pass out for $550,000 and I think it'll be really good. That's way too, way too Indian. But that sounds like he works at seven 11, but you know what

I mean. It's, it's kind of close to Johnny. Yes. Well, the only Egyptian I ever knew before Johnny was the Prince of Egypt. So that's, those are the only two things I have to go off of. And how did he talk a lot like Johnny? Or- Moses? Yeah, or was he pretty American? Moses seemed, dude, Moses seemed like kind of just like a white actor to me. Moses might've been from Nebraska, actually.

Zach, let's hear your Egyptian impersonation. Yeah, get cancer real quick, boy. Oh, I mean. Do you know Johnny? No. No, I do not. What do you think he sounds like? I bought this house for 300,000 dollars.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you nailed it. And I'm going to sell it for four million. For my people. For my people. Let my people sell. Let my people sell. Uh oh, oh I think this tight means that it's going down

with some random thoughts and white me too, Midwest best friends, eating fast food on repeat so come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet cause it's the Ghost Brothers podcast Ghost Brothers podcast There among the morning, we're taking a breath, Ghost Brothers podcast

We can talk about him without him being here Oh, that's what's nice. Yeah, let's let's talk about him behind his back. Yep. If you're gonna smelly Like like surprisingly smelly and when he first started working here is like he's 16. He's homes kind of smelly, like, like surprisingly smelly. And when he first started working here is like, he's 16, he's homeschooled. Yeah. Of course he's going to stink. Yeah. But now he's grown up a little bit. He's starting to get real life jobs. He's got a career on his hands. You got to smell better. Yeah. He doesn't have a high school degree, but get some degree under your armpits. Right? Dude, gene charts comedy, dude. Should we do

something with that? Bring it back. Zach, do you want it? Zach, do you want it? $30,000 or any other bid. Any other bid? I could offer you anything at all? And that would be the highest bid. What if I offer you? So I give you $30,000.

OK. All right. OK. Yeah, yeah. We'll take it. Let my people buy. That's not what I was saying. Great.

I'll take it. You say yes real quick. Yes. Yeah. Lock him in. Yeah, Tymon. That's, mm. Great. I'll take it. You say yes real quick. Yes. Lock him in. Yeah, Tymon has been, let's see, he got his wisdom teeth out. He had an eye appointment this morning. Wow.

And he's also working a lot. Okay. Whatever, man. So you think he's better than us? What is that? Zach, can you play for us the voice memo that Tymon sent you after his wisdom teeth got out? Gladly.

If you're new here, Brad and I host the podcast and Tymon is our 18 year old homeschooled producer and Zach is his friend. Now you're caught up. 19. 19? Tymon's 19? He's 19.

He's grown up before our eyes. I don't remember that. Crazy. All right, let's hear this time in post wisdom teeth I saw You tried to call me And i'm walking out of the turned up office place I'll call you back sometime

Um, I mean the walmart person lot my or my dog goes and gets some stuff For I think like medicine and maybe a drop soup I'll talk to you later. Oh I'll talk to you later egg drop soup egg drop soup and maybe egg drop soup and maybe egg drop soup. I Like egg drop soup time. Yeah, I soup. I like egg drop soup time. Yeah, I get it. Actually, I don't know if I do. I don't know why I said that.

Trying to make you feel better, buddy. Yeah, it's funny. That was kind of his craving, I guess. Hopefully dad lets me get egg drop soup from Walmart. So anyway, he's doing fine. He's doing fine. I think we've probably told on the podcast before, but I wanna revisit the time

where you got your wisdom teeth out. Oh yeah. So your neighbors, I guess when I had my wisdom teeth out was high school and I feel like I just stayed home for a few days. People these days, I had a friend get his wisdom teeth out and he's like, yeah, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out this morning. I probably can't be by this afternoon, but probably tomorrow. I'm like, well, people are just,

since you're an adult, you just do things with your wisdom teeth out now? I feel like the wisdom tooth surgery, I remember my high school English teacher telling me, he's like, this is crazy. He's like, because he wasn't that much older than us, but he was like, when I was in high school, he was like 10 years older than us, maybe.

He was like, none of us got our wisdom teeth out. But he's like, it's so funny being a teacher now, you guys are all getting your wisdom teeth out. Oh, really? So older than us, maybe. He was like, none of us got our wisdom teeth out. But he's like, it's so funny being a teacher now, you guys are all getting your wisdom teeth out. Oh, really? So that's my, that's the foundation for what I'm about to say. This is a new thing. So maybe even like 10 years ago,

when I did get my wisdom teeth out, they were just like, or when you got your wisdom teeth out, like lay low, don't do anything. And now we're like, I mean, it's like getting a cavity filled. Just chill, eat your straw for a day and you're fine. Yeah, Isaac was talking this weekend about how his are like hurting him. Like, and he's like, should I get these out?

Cause Jensen's new girlfriend is a dental student. And so she's first year dental student. That means you should know everything about everything. You know? He's having her look at it. It was kind of like, let's go around the table and just do a little acid dentist kind of thing. You know how you do that with like doctors or something?

Yeah. All right. So like ingrown toenails, how serious are they? You know how you do that with like doctors or something? Yeah. All right. So I got something. Ingrown toenails. How serious are they? Yeah. We've all had muscle spasms, but mine is like in my neck in like the same area every night. Every time.

Like it's 7.08 Central time. But then if I go to another time zone, it's still 7.08 that time zone. How does it know? Is it something to do with my watch? Have you gone over that in your first semester of med school? Yeah. Now my ear is slight, it's like halfway torn off

of my face and it hurts really bad. Should I try attend to that at all? Or should I just let that kind of just bleed out and just scab up? Trey and I were talking about this. Like anytime you call a non-emergency doctor, like I called the dermatologist cause I can't remember when my appointment is.

And like, if this is an emergency call 911 yeah, yeah, okay, if I don't know that I don't deserve to have a dermatologist. Yeah. Hey Zach We usually go mute for notifications if you're connected, but that's never happened before this podcast That's crazy first time ever hear the text tone Wow also. that's crazy that you guys both have your text tone on your computer I never even I never even think like yeah I'm sure there is an option to turn it off, but I've never even thought like you can turn it off. I just mute Yeah, you know, that's what I just did Like yeah, it's easy volume like your volume is on but your text tone does not make a noise

Yeah, I guess I just yeah, I think the day I got this computer, I was like, turn that text tone off. Yeah, for whatever reason, it feels less likely to be able to be happening on my computer. Like, you can't modify that. That's hardwired in. That's right there next to the ramp. Yeah, something about,

if I'm at home in the comfort of my own home, people like saying that and I'm eating a little lunch watching YouTube video. I don't want the text tones interrupting my video. What did he say there for two seconds? Now I got to go back five seconds. Yeah. I see. I guess I just assume you have to go do not disturb in that instance.

Wow. I know. Listen, I'm just saying my, I'm no, it's fine. Trust me. All right. Fine. What are we talking about? Dental students, dental students. Yeah. Going around. Yeah. Asking all these questions anyway. But she was like, yeah, you should probably get them out.

If nothing else, just so it doesn't mess up the rest of your teeth, because your teeth have nowhere to move right now. What are you? I remember lesbian dental students the other day. OK, you're great. We're really bonded. They're at UMKC. Dental school. Yeah, both there together. Yeah. Before or after they got to the school Good question. I didn't ask. Okay, it was implied. Okay After got it, but we really bonded because my like best friend from college

She went to UMKC dental school and so I used to go to him until we really bought I was like Everything's covered in plastic in your basement. You have no cell service like Like, yes, that's where he's been the last two years. I'm like, I love it down there. The cinder block walls are beautiful. I'm in the waiting room and there's just crack heads in me. In me. They probably love seeing you, honestly. Yeah, I think, yeah.

I think they get a little photo of me on the wall. Like a black. Customer of the month. I just remember when you got your wisdom teeth out, you were working for K-Live, so 20 something. And we went to the Royals game the day after, maybe? Like, and so you were like, you could talk and like have conversation, but it was definitely still sensitive on your face.

Yeah. And for whatever reason, you know, through our ministry that Jake worked for, and Catherine worked for, we had like these awesome tickets, like third row right behind the dugout. Still to this day, the best Royals tickets ever had. I would agree. Yeah. Uh, and so it was like, we got it. This is amazing. This is so fun. And the Royals had this big comeback or big play or something. And Peter, I don't think has done this to this, like again, since then, like it was your first time offender, so out of character, you know, it's like one of those things

where it's like, why did you shoot that guy? It's like, I don't know. It just, it accidentally slipped. Yeah. So we get some crazy. Peter Alec Baldwin me. He did, kind of. It was like, I never do this, you know, I promise.

But we had some big hit or big play or whatever. And Peter, you know, we're standing up, cheering. There's a few ways to celebrate at a baseball game. You high five, you cheer. Those are what's common. Let's go. People love. Let's go. These days. If you're white. Oh, let's go is on the let's go. Turn 90 degrees. High five. Yeah. He said, let's go. Turn 90 degrees. Smacked both sides of Jake's face and gripped it and shook him. The one time in Jake's entire life where that was like off limits, don't do this. He just goes, and Jake, you know, the whole crowd is just going nuts. Yeah. And Jake's just over there like,

Oh, we love giving Peter our time about that. Cause it And Jake's just over there like, oh my God. We love giving Peter our time about that. Cause it was so odd, it was like, why? You've never grabbed my face. What made you do that? No one even grabs face. That's not a way you celebrate. No.

But the day after wisdom tooth surgery, he grabbed my face. He grabbed face. And so anyway, at wild times. Yeah, that was fun. I remember being so scared of dry sockets back in the day They do scare you about that. You're not supposed to drink out of a straw I think you get dry sockets. That's what I always heard was like yeah, those were connected somehow

Yeah, do you remember having to like flush kind of the the gunk out of your holes had a certain taste to it I don't remember. How'd you have to do that? I had just like a little like I don't know like an ey eye dropper or something almost, but I went back in there and you would just like fill it up with water and then just squirt it like in your holes. And it would help sanitize? It would just get the gunk out of there.

You'd be gunked. Food would settle into the holes of where your wisdom teeth were. Okay. So you wanted to like flush them out. Oh, okay. But even if the food only been there five minutes, it had like a distinct taste to it.

Really? No matter what you ate. Oh yeah, gross. So Zach, are you, do you currently, if I looked in your mouth right now, would I see four wisdom teeth or would I not? Would you like to check? I can't even see the bottom of your face. This is so funny.

It's like you're like Wilson on home improvement right now. I don't know if I would even know. I don't know how many teeth are, like you could have seven teeth missing. I'd be like, you look good to me, man Looks fine as long as they're the back ones. No if you went in there you would find Four missing teeth. Oh really I got I got all four out, you know, I think I was sorry There we go. I was meant to get them out like

Three years ago something like that crazy long time ago Yeah, I didn't okay waited year and a half as one does, and then I got them out. So it was hurting by the time I got it out. That was great, I loved it. See, but the farther along you wait, the less they have to dig in there. That's a good point, yeah, they're almost growing,

they're like sprouting themselves. Yeah, they might just fall out themselves, like the rest of your teeth. They get arthritis, and then they fall out themselves. Yeah. Like the rest of your teeth. Yeah. They get like arthritis and then they fall out. Could. They might. Maybe. Sorry, I'm now going back to the ask the dentist thing

because that would be an interesting thing. Maybe we do find like, let's think of seven different professions right now. We should do a series on the podcast. Ask the blank. Ask the professional. Yeah, like dentist, doctor. Fireman, lawyer, like all the things you want to be

when you're a kid. I would love to know so many things like, hey, policeman, that guns me down with a speed gun, sorry. Speed. I was gonna say, you're white. Yeah, I know. You know, yeah. And I drive a truck now, so I never get pulled over.

I'm like, oh, I'm good. But you know the guy that has like radar gun. Thank you. Yeah. Uh, he like, I would love to know like, okay, is there like a rule of like you're going five over? No one's pulling you over for that. Or because you always hear the legends nine, you're fine. Ten, you're mine. There's no way nine, you're fine. Dude, you got all these rhymes. I do, dude. Give me, ask me every time you got these rhymes. Ask me another situation. I'll give you a, Iye, you're fine. Dude, you got all these rhymes. I do, dude. Give me, ask me another one. Every time you got these rhymes. Ask me another situation, I'll give you a rhyme for it. What's kind of the rhyme in like, in fireman culture?

The police have theirs, Nye. What's the fireman? Go down the pole and save a soul. Wow. That's what they say. It's like, hey, time to go down the pole, save a soul. Let's go. Pole, soul, pole, soul, pole, soul. They just, sometimes they just go like that.

What's that old rhyme? I can't remember it. It's for like gardeners. Oh yeah. It could be like a greenhouse or even just like a little garden behind your house or something, what's their rhyme? It's just important to have all the tools.

They say, don't have a hoe, you gotta go. To Home Depot and pay some dough. Right? I thought that was for something else. It's if you don't have a hoe, you gotta go. I heard that somewhere. and pay some dough, right? I thought that was for something else. If you don't have a hoe, you gotta go. I heard that somewhere, that's gardening. That's Tinder, maybe. Is it?

No, it's gardening. It is gardening. Atlanta in the 90s, I think. That was their motto. Welcome to Atlanta, yeah. If you don't got a hoe, you gotta go. You gotta go, yeah. I don't know.

Yeah, that's what I heard. Well, what's that rhyme for politicians? What are they always saying? Like during the campaign or even once they take office, what are they saying? Like get people on board? Well, okay. That one's a little bit tougher for me.

Yeah, it's like- Get people on board. I feel like it's Republicans and Democrats. They both use like kind of this rhyme. It's like everyone uses it. I just can't remember it. It's like no matter what side you must abide to there. There's like this rule, like these code of conduct that we don't know about because politicians are very shady, but

there's certain things you don't do. Yeah. Right. So, um, I don't know what they are, but that, that sounded pretty good though. Right. No matter what side you must abide. Yeah. And you don't need to know, you're not a politician fits. I was actually like, I think I was two and a half years old. First words out of my mouth. If the glove fits, you must acquit. And my dad was like, I got to get Johnny on the phone for this. I called up. Oh, J Simpson was free. So sorry about that one. But what's that rhyme for like Catholic priests? Yeah. What's the one they're always saying? What was that one? It was. I remember hearing it in the early 2000s a lot and it's kind of gone away.

It was like, if you pray to Mary, you might like a little, I don't know. I tried, I tried, I tried. Segment over. Anyway, that was fun. So if the, yeah, anyway, but I would love, all right, all right. Segment over. Anyway, that was fun. So if the, yeah. Anyway, but I would love to ask policemen some questions. Like, how much can I push back on XYZ?

I've heard all these different things. Like one of my friends was like, anytime you get pulled over, you turn off your car, you put your keys right on top of the dash and you put both your hands at 10 and two, you'll never get a ticket. I did that one time, take it right away. I was like, Kyle, you liar. There's not just like one system to get you out of a ticket. There's no way.

That's, that's what I want to know. I want to know like, Hey, what kind of things are like, Oh, respect, dude. I've always heard like if you have a fireman's like policeman and fireman respect each other. So like, if you have a fireman's license, like a little more FDNY bumper sticker in the back of your car, they might respect that. We just wear a hat every time I'm in the car, you know, you got to, I just got pulled over hat. Yeah. But this hat on it says fire department. Howdy officer. Hello. Bill folds on the dash as you see. Yeah. We hang that bill folds on a dash with a little bit of money hanging up just in case. So yeah, I would like to talk to uh, I just read a book the last 48 hours

I just read a whole book congrats. Something got into me. What what got going crazy. It's called local woman missing Okay, it was a thriller. Yeah, really good. Yeah, man. I cranked through it. Would you say it was gripping? Obviously 48 hours. Yeah, you were gripped Yeah, actually I read it about 24 hours. I think about it. I started yesterday at the or two sunday at the lifetime pool And finished it yesterday. That's nice. Yeah, it was nice That's fun. Um, yeah 24-hour book really good. But one of the main characters is a doula There's another character in there the midwife. I'd like to have one of them on the podcast. I'm gonna ask them questions Okay. Yeah get into it because I just you know, I'm reading this book. I'm like, I don't

Think I know what forceps are and I don't want to Google it There's certain things you don't Google. There's certain things like I wondered recently somebody was mentioning hemorrhoids. I was like, what are those? Yes. Not I'm not I'm not I'm not taking the chance on an image search of that. I was just saying surely it's all textbook, you know, cartoons, but like if even one pops up, no pun intended.

Yeah, that could be something that like a good usage of AI, chat GBT, like I am curious what hemorrhoids look like, but I am eight years old. So don't scare me, make it like a fun cartoon. No scary colors. Put it some eyes and a mouth on it. I give it a funny mustache. Yeah.

And then I would be willing to look at hemorrhoids. Anyway, yeah, that'd be fun to have like different professionals on. Yeah, I think there's, there's a ghostie for everything. Like every time we talk about, oh yeah, this, this, like, actually I do production for a Broadway show and I can tell you exactly what you want to know. I forgot we have a Broadway star listening. Yeah. And we don't, every listener is the same. Well, but she is at the top of the random order of lists of ghosties.

There's certain people that are like, yeah, you win. Yeah, and Jake Allen is randomly second. Randomly. Every listener is the same, but I'd say Broadway star, what Jake Allen has done recently. Yep. Rachel's third, she listens. Hattie fourth.

She was on it one. Hattie's on it, yeah. Catherine seventh. Catherine seventh, yeah, blind ranking our listeners. I wanna say, just no reason, just she's there. My mom. Mom top 10. No. No.

I would say 22nd. Mom 22nd. Both. Zach fifth, randomly. Randomly, yeah, that one doesn't make sense. Yeah, yeah. They just pick a different person randomly Both Zach fifth randomly random randomly They just pick a different person randomly to give away a pal to every you know every video Thank you, so dude You know what else I did when I had my wisdom teeth out going back to that day is I went on a date a

First date with a girl. Do you remember this? This was like I'll give you a clue, she's a lesbian now. Well that narrows it down, Jake. Yeah, which do you know that's happened twice in my life? I don't know if we ever talked about that on the podcast. Once you reach the top, you might as well go to the mountain. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, dude, once you've gone to Pike's Peak, it's like, well,

I'm not going up Pike's Peak again, I'm going to Everest. Yeah, I wanna go to the Twin Peaks now. No. Yeah. Yeah, I want to go to the Twin Peaks. Yeah. Take a little journey through the peaks. That's right. Yeah. Wow.

What is, what's the rhyme for that one? For becoming a lesbian? Yeah. Good luck. Great. No, that's no problem. Once you've had me totally, you're gonna want some ovary. Three rhymes, dude.

Three rhymes. Me totally ovary. Yeah. Anyway. The only way to get over me is to get ovary. Wow. That's, that's better. That's good. Well, you set me up, dude.

You set me up. You set me up, dude. Anyway, uh, that was the first day because you had a second day with that girl. So yeah, went good enough. Maybe you were just a really good listener. You just didn't talk much. It was probably the best I've ever been on a date. I finally shut up and just listened.

Yeah. How is it? Do you enjoy your job? Is that how you talk to her? Interesting. I had some made drop soup earlier. Do you want some made drop soup? One more?

No, just soup and a smoothie. Thanks. She'll feed me. Are you loving those drinks? Oh yeah, did I tell you about these already? I experienced them this weekend with Isaac. Oh, I was gonna say, I was like, how do you know about these? Yeah, so I I tell you about these already? I experienced them this weekend with Isaac. Oh, I was gonna say, I was like, how do you know about these? Yeah, so I think I talked about it

in like the Vietnam recap episode, I talked about how I became obsessed with passion fruit and you can't really find it much, at least in the Midwest. And if you can, it's crazy expensive, but Matt, CEO Matt found these drinks somewhere in the world. It's like a passion fruit carbonated sparkling drink and it's a good summertime drink. Did you have some?

Yeah. I liked it. I think I liked the idea. It's like 40 calories, but not like artificial sweetener. It's like just like a minimal soda. It's just like sparkling water and passion fruit. But it has like a little bit of a soda feel to it. Yeah.

I liked the idea of it, but I didn't love the passion fruit flavor as much as I think I would love something else. Yeah. There's a reason it's probably not crazy popular but reminds me of nom. Oh yeah. Oh, no. Oh yeah. I haven't had one of those since I was back at nom. Exactly. So they're fun little, little summertime drinks. Yeah. I've been in Tennessee and back. So let me just say from one Southerner to another. Now I'm going to start that again. I'm in Tennessee. I'm going to start one more time. I've been one more time. I've been to Tennessee and back. And let me tell you now from one country boy to another. Yeehaw boy.

And what makes you say that? And why makes you say that? Why because of how much I, why I love good ranchers. In this country. In this country. That's right. In America. In this country?

Yeah. We're not like that old dog. Nope. We'll, we'll take whatever kind of meat you got. That's right. White meat, dark meat, fish meat. It's all seed oil free. Pork meat.

I just naturally promoted good ranchers multiple times. You guys eat meat I was like it is better. I told I was like he's like what specifically should I buy one of these guys said I was like they're truly all good, but I'm like, the chicken is the most different than the rest of the chicken I've ever had. Yes. It is so good. Uh, but they, they, all their meat is a hundred percent American sourced free from hidden additives delivered straight to your door. Um, yeah, they're not adding any more hand, but they're not adding any antibiotics, hormones, seed oils, just one simple ingredient. That's good old fashioned American meat from American farmers.

Gatlinburg Tennessee and back there been to Gatlinburg. I've heard about it for years cuz it's kind of like the Branson of the Middle East Yes, exactly. That's what they say and Knoxville ish right like central Tennessee

That's what's so funny is I didn't do a good job of like getting my bearings I just was classic millennial. Let's look at the map and follow what it says on there So I we passed at least a sign that said Knoxville. I think it was somewhat close to Knoxville Getting my bearings. Where's that? What's that mean? Or where does that come from? Bearings like Like ball bearings. Like the bearing straight. The ball bearing straights. Yeah, yeah. Most girls I go on a date with are no longer ball bearing straights.

Zach choked. That joke works like too well. That worked three times. well. Oh my gosh. I was trying to think about it. I was thinking the same thing. I was like, how do I do Twin Peaks with ball bearings? I don't know. Oh my.

I'm sorry. Listen to the podcast now. My good. Oh golly. All right. Anyway, so it's somewhere central. Yeah, it's pretty far East. I think it's pretty close to Asheville, North Carolina, like within an hour, hour and a

half of the ash because it's in smoky mountains. Great. I think it's pretty far East. I think it's pretty far East. I think it's pretty far East. I think it's pretty far East. I think it's pretty far East. I think it's pretty far East. I, it's pretty far east. Because I think it's pretty close to Asheville, North Carolina. Like within an hour, hour and a half of the ash. Because it's in Smoky Mountains. Great.

I think Asheville is also Smoky Mountains. It seems like a city known for its ash would be near the smoke mountains. That's so, which came first, the smoke or the ash? Zach? I'm not a philosopher, but probably the ash, don't you reckon? Careful.

I'm sorry. Oh, yeah Maybe I apologize. That's okay. That was a good answer. Sorry Yeah, it could be so anyway Yeah, drove through seven total states kind of always fun this might be like we drove through a lot of states trivia time Zack Zack Oh Question for you. Okay. This is always fun We know I think it's so fascinating. Everyone has like gaps in their education,

but homeschoolers especially, it's like more fun to see. Like what are they not know? Like time is his history. And you've been homeschooled your entire life? Entire life. Okay, great. All right, I guess that could even be a whole separate conversation.

Like, do you know, are you aware of like your gaps in like your homeschooled education? I mean, I feel like I got a pretty good education. Sure, sure. I mean, we'll see. Let's find out. Yeah, let's find out. Let's do it. Two states are bordered by eight states.

Oh no. What are the two states that have the most borders around them? Wait, I wanna try to figure this out. Okay, I didn't know if you knew. What? Two states are bordered by eight states. So like, I don't know, you could think of like,

Florida is only bordered by like two or three states It's probably one of the little ones. That's what I'm thinking top, right, you know Definitely not how they geographically call it top, right? Okay, no, it's probably It could be one of them like Colorado. That's got lots around it. That's one of those little ones in the top right. Well, I switched directions to fool you, Jake. I'm thinking little, I'm thinking top right.

I want to say Colorado. I don't have any gaps in my education. I want to say Northeast Colorado. Yep. Eight is so many. And there's two states that have. There's no way it's eight. There's no way. Oh, you think that's the part that's. There's no way it's eight. There's no way.

Oh, you think that's the part that's wrong. Jake's lost. Final answer. Bad education. Let's see. Okay. Eight. Eight is crazy.

Honestly, you could say, here are the two states that have eight around them and what are the eight states? And that would be hard for me too. Let's just go ahead and throw some guesses out there. Let's get this podcast going. I really like Colorado. Can I throw that out there?

Colorado is incorrect. Oh yeah, it's not that. Oklahoma. That is incorrect. Kansas. No, no, no, let's go. Are you shaking or are you just saying? Let's go top right.

I'm sorry, top right. Top right, top right. Kansas, we live in Kansas, bro. You would have heard about it. There's a lot around Kansas I'm sorry, top right, top right. Kansas, we live in Kansas, bro. Okay. You would have heard about it. There's a lot around Kansas. What can I say? Give me. Vermont?

Yeah. Vermont is incorrect. New Hampshire? That is incorrect. New York. New York. New York. No. No.

Not the accent one, hope. New York. Oh, Rhode Island? That is incorrect. Jersey. No. I don't know if it's top right, dude. After all that dude after all that

After all that work we did to get up there forget forget top right dude go Iowa, Texas is massive There's so many things on the border though, bro. You're missing the whole bottom of Texas. Are we counting Mexico as America? State of mind. All right, Mexico one. Yeah, New Mexico, uh, gold Mexico to Let's see. Um, give me give me uh Whoo Virginia no Virginia's on the coast Tennessee Tennessee is one of them. Is it really? Yeah, it is Wow. Okay, one of them what yeah, there's two that means Okay, so now there's two states that have a gap in his education I was learning how to listen counting

This is tough. Okay. So now now I think it they're both right over there. Yeah, hi. Oh, yeah Oh, hi, probably no. So Ohio is kind of on the code like I know but that's actually a good guess. Yeah, okay We're going we're going right around there. South Carolina? South Carolina, yeah. No, it's on the coast. That's a stupid guess. Yeah. Illinois?

I just looked. Kentucky has seven. No, it's not Illinois. One of the Carolinas. No. No, it's still on the coast. I don't know. I'm so bad.

Like, I don't know what's right north of Tennessee. Is that Kentucky? Yes. Is it? Yeah. Kentucky. Is it Kentucky? No, no, no.

Oh interesting interesting. Little sliver.

Little sliver, guys. Wow. Wow. They'll get you at the little slivers. Anyway, you went to Tennessee this weekend. It was fun. We drove and it was a long drive. It was 12 hours, I think, total. But we drove to Lexington the first night to meet up with Jensen. And then from there went the rest of the way, which is like three hours. So, um, yeah, 11, 12 hours, Lexington kind of cool. I, you hear about Kentucky being all about like bourbon and horses, but man, is it like right there in this, like the stereotypes are true. Yes. So many horses all over the place.

Yeah. And bourbon and bourbon everywhere. Like we were driving, there were so many different, like, you know how they have the signs that have the attractions or the gas stations or whatever. It was like so many attractions, Buffalo Trays, you know, all these different. It's like bourbon general store.

I feel like everything's kind of themed that way there. They like it there. Louisville. Yeah. Lexington. It was just really good time to get with Isaac. I feel like the more, we got more time. We had 24 hours in the car together.

Yeah, we had more time together this weekend than we probably have in the cumulative last year. You know what I mean? Yeah. We just haven't spent as much time recently. And so that was fun. It was like we had every single version of a road trip together.

We had really deep talks. We had hour of silence. We had cranking up some music and vibing together. We sleep Yeah, he slept for a little bit. He We watched some TV show together like that's fun. Would you watch tires? Oh, yeah like tires funny inappropriate for the young people out there or the old people but Pretty funny. Um, you watch season two. We got to season two. Yeah, Shane Gillis, his girlfriend in that Veronica. Yeah. Or do you know who that is? Her name's not Veronica on the show, but she's an amazing follow on social media.

I've been following her for years. She's so funny. She looks like Caitlin Riley. Yeah. She does a little bit. Good point. It's not Caitlin Riley. Yeah. But they're both, they're both like funny women on social media. Yeah. Um, anyway, so it was just fun time to get with Isaac and you know, we laughed a lot. There was one, this is one of those things I was like, I don't even know if this is worth mentioning it. Cause it's like, is this funny to people that don't know Isaac slash don't know how much I love.

I just love when people mess things up, right? Like that's like one of my favorite types of humor. And so Isaac was talking about this wood that he had got. We did woodworking talk. That's another part of the classic road trip. Every road trip has wood. Yeah, we got to. talking about this wood that he had got. We did woodworking talk. That's another part of the classic road trip. Every road trip has woodwork. Yeah, we got to.

And he's got this stack of walnut from his uncle or something like that. And he was talking about all these different places that he wanted to see if he could hire them to dry it in their kilns in Kansas City. And there's this guy named Larry that owns L&K Hardwoods. And Isaac's like, you know, I, I, I, you know, called up and see, saw if Larry hardwood could do it.

For whatever reason, it just killed me. I was like, first of all, Larry hardwood sounds like he works at a different industry. Larry hardwood, Larry hardwood. And if we just die and then like, cause there's just moments like that with Isaac where he just accidentally like fumbles his words or something. We all do it. Uh, but man, Isaac loves to laugh at himself. So it's like, you don't feel bad

about just dying, laughing with him. Um, there was a moment this weekend where this guy, we were kind of in like this, I don't know if it's really that serious, but I guess it was like a serious talk about Like aliens basically like, you know people that are just all about this. Yeah, this is kind of for me Like when like a couple years ago when it was a tick-tock trend like how often do you think about the Roman Empire? Uh-huh. That is as that is as distant as aliens and stuff are to me. I'm like, I don't know about it I don't want to talk about it. I don't care. I have no interest. Why are you thinking about the Roman empire? Why are we talking about aliens or ghosts? I always am like, like, cause like there's like all these like

spiritual theological, you know, spiritual warfare, aliens, like somebody this weekend was like, I think aliens are demons or like, I'm like, okay, I don't know. Maybe. Yeah. Like, but spiritual warfare is angels versus the aliens. Anyway. And then this one guy, Eli is the Dave. He's awesome. Like I loved everybody on this trip. Eli starts giving his very thought out, like, you know, analysis of aliens going back to weird stuff. He's like, you know, the fall, uh, 70 AD. Yes. We all know this fall of Nero. Yes. What actually happened? You're like, Oh, he's thought about this. He starts, he starts throwing out words and it's not like we're having like a serious, like we all need to be very whatever

about it, but we're also not like cutting up joking around necessarily about it. And he says some words that I of course don't know. And so if I don't know, there's no way, you know, Isaac knows them. And so I look over across the room at Isaac and he just has his blank stare at his face and he looks over at me and it was one of those times where it was like, don't laugh, dude, don't laugh. He's being serious. I look away and I just, it was one of those times where it's just like, you can't help. So he's like, he's like telling all this like scientific theories or whatever. And I just go, and so it's just like times like that with Ike, you know, left and right. So did everyone start

dying laughing or just you two or like, well they're like, you know, I don't know Why you guys are laughing? I'm sorry. It's just Isaac. I was like, there's no way Isaac understands this and I didn't understand It's trying to relate to you man. Anyway, so they kept talking and then of course I kept laughing. I was like, I'm sorry, dude It's not a funny subject. But to me it was so I mean I get that especially I think you are the king of like, you can make someone laugh just by like looking at them while something is going on. I would not want you looking at me during an alien talk.

Cause it was like, we're thinking the same thing, right? Like I'm all, I don't mind listening to people talk about that, but the same thing. I'm like, there's enough problems right in front of me. Like I care about the person across the table from me enough that I'm not thinking about aliens necessarily. Like that is hard enough for me to grasp, like solving this issue, like of the world right here,

that I can't get there with the aliens and the UFOs and Bigfoot and all that stuff. It's interesting to me. Yeah, it's just like, there's an aspect of any conspiracy theory that's kind of interesting. But at the end, at least for me, I'm like, well, we're never going to know with absolute truth what's real or not anyway, with all the stuff with aliens with, so UFOs. So why bother? Yeah. Cause we're never going to know anyway. It's hard. Yeah. Why bother? Yeah. And like, and they had some decently, what I would consider

seemingly far-fetched ideas. And I'm like, how do you, where'd you find that? Yeah, what Reddit thread are you a part of? And I don't know, I was just like, I'll subscribe to that because I have no reason not to. But also, I'm not going to be like, that's definitely, whatever. You don't have a counter argument.

You're just like, cool, that's awesome. Yeah, I feel bad. You guys excited for football season counter argument. You're like, cool. That's awesome. Yeah. You guys excited for football season? I do feel bad when I can't really contribute much to those kinds of conversations. I'm like, yeah, totally. It's like, I just talked for seven minutes. Go ahead.

Answer me. And I'm like, wow. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Maybe. I remember. Maybe. Looney Tunes, the Martian, he was always a funny guy.

Hi. Hi there. What does he say in Space Jam? I don't remember. I don't remember what he says. But anyway. Zach, do people your age, they get into alien talks, anything like that, UFO talks, you guys care about that? Some of us, I won't name them, but Graydon does.

He's into the politics and the aliens and... You put those two things in the same category? Or you're saying like you're saying a list. There's a decent concentric circle there. In the middle is Hillary Clinton. Oh yeah, George Soros. Yeah, he's the one that like sparks it. And then if it's late enough, we'll usually entertain him entertain him gosh and we'll like talk with him about it. That's funny. Yeah, I'd have like you know the other guys care about that stuff

Not at all It's tough It's a and part of me is almost like jealous of those people that have these deep thoughts about that of like Why don't I am I not? Think deeply enough about things, but I'm also like nah Why don't I, am I not, I don't think deeply enough about things, but I'm also like, maybe that's one of the people we have on. We have a, we have a doctor and we have a lawyer and we have an alien expert.

I'll say this Tyler Tong, he went to, uh, uh, dad's on Maui with us and he's a big ghostie. He's a conspiracy whiz about things like, I think it's almost like hard for him to start explaining things to me because I'm so you don't have a foundation that he would expect you to have. But man, that guy's got some, got some thoughts. I'll say that Tyler, Tyler Tong, and he's so fun. Tyler, if you're ever in Kansas City, we got to have you on the pod. That'd be great. He is, if you think Scott's a walking laugh track, this guy, he will stop. He'll still laugh. He'll still be laughing about the ball bearing straight. He had to pause that pull over and yeah, compose himself before he kept listening. That's great. It's not his name is Tong. Tyler Tong. And there was also Pacific Islander. Right. So there's also

another guy that looked, that was half Asian that came on the trip, Lewis Hudson. They came to get, they like showed up at the same time. It's got the airport. That's clearly like, okay. Obviously you're Tyler Tong and you're Lewis Hudson. Like, yeah, Tyler looks like a Lewis Hudson but his name Tyler Tong. Gotcha. And vice versa. That'd be great to have him on. So anyway, Tennessee was really fun though.

It was, so we went for Jensen. He's a youth pastor and he has worked at this church for seven years. So he had a sabbatical and he's like, part of my sabbatical, I want to go on a golf trip with just all my friends kind of inspired by bachelor party idea or, you know, he's single still. So it's like, or he's got a girlfriend now, but, um, bachelor party or pheasant hunter, whatever, just like guys getting together from different circles almost. And so it was fun. So it was like some of his friends from college,

some of his friends from, you know, back home, some of his friends from church, some of his friends from Isaac and some of his friends from, you know, back home, some of his friends from church, some of his friends from Isaac and I from this ghost runners written girlfriend there. Like you got to meet her. We got to meet her in Lexington. Oh, I see. I see. Yeah. Sorry. Keep going. Um, and so, yeah, it was three days of golf. Uh, we, I, I thought we were going to play two rounds on Saturday. We only played one. So it was three rounds of golf for three days, or three days total. And it was fun, man. I did a good job of being like, pacing myself almost every time I play golf.

I'm like 11 holes and I'm like, I'm good for the rest of the day. And this time I was like, I'm not gonna feel that way. I'm gonna try my hardest not to feel that way. Because going into you're like, I gotta play 50 to 54, maybe 72 holes of golf this weekend. Got to pace myself. I was like, okay.

And I had just gone to top golf, like to swing and I, got a few blisthes. Yeah, I'm not good at golf. And so I gripped my club too hard. And so I got this blister on my hand. Anyway, I just, I enjoyed it. And I think it would be so fun to play golf if you were even kind of good at it.

That's, you just have to get to a certain threshold. Yes, I can make pretty good contact most of the time. Yeah, it's fun. And I am not there yet. And I want to be there so bad. I hate not be good at something or even like I hate being bad. I'm OK not being amazing at golf, but I just don't. I don't want to get up there.

And in my head, like everyone behind me is like, well, he's not. Why is he even swinging? Like this guy, yeah. It's like, his guy's just taking our, you know, whatever. And then I'm like, I'm going to show them, even though they haven't said a thing. I'm going to show them. Yeah, they were. Yeah. No one was mean about it at all. But the second day I played with the guy that played division one golf. You guys are partners? Yeah, the three of us were together, like him and another guy. And yeah, but it was, but we played our own ball. Oh. Yeah. And so, you know, he-

That's no fun for anyone. He drives it, you know, 485 yards. Yeah. And I drive it 48.5 yards. And he's waiting for me for five shots, you know, dang it's too bad He didn't scramble, but we scramble last night, but there was one hole where I beat him actually Yeah, I got a par and I think he got a bogey. That's awesome. So and there was one time I I

Had a putt for birdie meaning I was gonna like have a you get a shot at it Yeah, and instead I three putted so So that's fine. That happens a lot. I think it's called golf. But yeah, overall it was really fun. And we got to switch it up and play with all these different people. And the second day, there was nine of us total. And so we kept like, we just did three groups of three.

But the second day, the course, Gatlinburg Golf Course, I think it was called, golf club, it was so busy that they put a random person with us. It's a stranger as our, and so at first I was like, that's kind of a bummer. Uh, but this guy was awesome. He, uh, he like five foot five kind of squatty guy, really like bald fade on the bottom and like this like spiked up hair looked like a five foot five stocky guy with bald spiky hair like a fade you know I mean like yeah it sounds like you're making this up as you go he's like he looked like he looked like

he was on Jersey Shore 35 years ago yeah like he's not on there anymore he's like my name is Jamie you can call me Gino he's like I'm from the inner city of Maryland which I guess is Baltimore I don't know how many states that middle of the state. Inner city of Maryland, but I've lived in Tennessee for 35 years. So it was like, he looked Marylandy, but he sounded like a Tennessee boy.

Okay, cool. Pretty interesting. He was with you guys for four hours. Yeah, and so anyway, one of the guys in our group, James, they're both named James actually, in this group with me. But one of the James's could not for the life of him remember Gino's name. And so he called them all these different, like, like accent, like pretty confidently. It was like, good shot, Ronnie,

like dude, his name's Gino. And at one point he was like, JB, nice shot. And then we're, we're like, we're Gino Baltimore. Yeah. Yeah. You know, G Gino. Um, and then we're like, we're Gino Baltimore. Yeah. Yeah. You know, G Gino. And then we're like driving to another hole. He's like, dude, I'm having the hardest time remembering this guy's name. I'm like, well, what do you think it is? He's like, I want to say Dwayne. I was like, no, he's not even close ever.

You know, so we're just dying laughing about that. But yeah, Gino had played this course quite a few times. He's giving you a lot of tips. And so he he's giving us tips but he's giving us tips as a 55 year old who's probably a 20 handicap like a bad golfer he's like no you don't want to hit driver here you'll never make it over that creek he's like he's like you want to try and then my buddy you know this guy there's a d1 golfer is like getting mad because he's like he's giving me terrible advice he's like yeah you can't clear those trees right Right. Yeah, I guess I won't.

Yeah, I can imagine. I mean, he was really cool about it. But I did feel for the D1 golfer of the group. But he was so awesome and sweet and tried to help me with my stand shots, you know, all those guys. How do I do this? You know, you do this. Slap the sand.

Slap the sand. Yeah. All those different things. So the first time that me, Trey, and Alan ever golfed on the road, this was like four years ago, right when we all first got into golf, we were in somewhere in South Carolina. We go to this part three course and we get paired up

with a guy and we're like, it's a walking course. So we're like, we're really with this guy for a couple hours. And he was a minor league umpire just there for like the day, like triple A ball or whatever. And it was awesome. Just, it was like a podcast episode. You want, you're like, you just get to ask them all these questions. What it's like, like, do you get called up

just like the majors and all that stuff? And I remember thinking like, dude, golf is awesome. Every time you get paired up with someone, they're fascinating people. This is how it's gonna be forever. Yeah, you're always gonna get paired up with just the most interesting people. Yeah, most of them are five, five and balding.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like, oh boy. The interesting thing about like this guy has played tons of golf. Like so many guys in the group have played. And I mean, like they're better than me for sure. I shot a one oh six and one oh four, I think. What? That's not terrible, though. One oh six and one oh four.

Really? For never golfing. They said it was a hard course, too. Yeah. What? There are a few times I mullied. White tees, blue tees. That's either blue or green. Either way, that's really not bad at all. But yeah, thank you. But but then there's these guys that they're like, yeah, I play two or three

times a week. And I'm like, OK, well, you should be way better than me. That's how call is. Yeah. You're like, it's just like you approve so little. Dude, you could get to a point though, if you like dedicate yourself like once a week, I'm going to the range. Yeah. You have to do that for like a year,

but then you'll be at a spot where like golf is way more fun. Way more fun. You're making solid contact. I'm already kind of like encouraged to go play more or something like that. You know, not like- Top golf Tuesday, 75% off.

Dude. Okay. Anybody out there listening, top golf in general, if you have the app, every day from nine to noon, you can go the entire morning for $15. Whoa. What?

Yeah. Per person, but it's like per, but just get your own bay. Do it for three hours or like per hour, $15 an hour? No, total. $5 an hour. What? Wow.

Yeah, even on like half price or whatever, 75% off. I might get back into golf. I know. Those prices. But you have to have the app, or you have to mention the early bird special. Okay. This sounds like off the menu.

But it's like, no, it's really like, yeah. You have to be like, I want this. And they'll be like, oh yeah, good. I'll just ring that up at the end, 15 bucks. So. I paid like a hundred bucks like two weeks ago. Isn't that crazy? It's crazy. And it's only from nine to noon, like only the morning time. So. I paid like a hundred bucks like two weeks ago. Isn't that crazy? It's crazy.

And it's only from nine to noon, like only the morning time. Wow. Because it's obviously not very busy then. So they're just trying to get people in, but. Speaking of like kind of potentially pranking our audience, did you see that post by Paige Cuoco a few weeks ago? She was getting her nails done by a Vietnamese nail tech.

And it was like, oh, that must've set you back some dong. And someone's like, what are you talking about? And she's like, dong. Dong. What? And yeah, she's like, Jake, that must have set you back some dong. And someone's like, what are you talking about? And she's like, dong. Dong. What? And yeah, she's like, Jake, are you messing with us? But no, I don't know why she didn't recognize the dong talk.

But it's the real currency. I'm not pranking you. But that was such a funny post. Yeah, that is great. Just like, just messing with an entire audience. Like, everyone, every time you meet your Vietnamese friends, you're going to get. Mitch, Mitch and it.

Yeah. How's your burger? There was another like there were some inside jokes from the China trip on this trip The big one that I could say there there's there's one video that Isaac Show people the video of this Chinese guy that just basically said here's all the cuss words. I know Oh Really funny, you know, Isaac, Isaac was like very, I mean, those are the things that people knew about him was pickleball, mainly pickleball. So people were asking him all sorts of questions. So he was talking about it all the time. Um, but then the other

one is, uh, deal, deal, deal, deal, deal. You know that? Yes. Great, great video. So funny. Yeah. It's crazy. Crazy. Yeah. Basically whatever. I don't want to get into it,

but like just like all of a sudden they're just like negotiating whatever deal, deal, deal, deal, deal. And so by the end of the trip, not everyone, but the people that were kind of more into that insight, like, hey, what if we, you know, get gas here and then we'll actually not eat till we get to Bucky's like an hour down the road. Oh, deal, deal, deal, deal, deal. That was the inside joke from like our manufacturer.

That was one of, yeah, exactly. Oh, deal, deal, deal, deal. I loved it, dude. Isaac Jensen and I especially, and then his dad by the end of the trip, his dad, yeah, saying it. So anyway, just good, just good times with, we got to have a really special time of like, just encouraging, affirming, whatever you call it, of Jensen, which was, I got weepy emotional doing it. And then we got to worship together, which was

just so powerful. Just anytime guys get together to sing and worship was sweet. And so that was fun. together to sing and worship with Sweet. And so that was fun. And then one other little story is that Jensen's dad and Jensen super quirky. Like if you've met Jensen, it's like, oh, then you meet his dad. It's like, that's where he gets all those ridiculous, like weird things he says.

Like when Jensen gets off the phone, he'll be like, all right,.com. Or, you know, all these different things. Weird. Yeah. Just all these funny things like that. And one of the things that they both love to do in the car together is blast, put on the song, We Are the World, and just blast it at full sound.

It's like a seven minute song. And Jensen's dad will just be like, well, Bruce Springsteen's coming up. Bruce Springsteen. Say all the different people, and they kind of impersonate the different singers and stuff. Michael Jackson. Yeah. And so I got to experience that multiple times with the trip where it's like, you know, put on, we are the world. Let's, let's, you know, let's get into this thing. It was great. That's so funny. Oh, Jake. I was gone for

five days. I don't know how you do this, dude. You travel all the time. I can't sleep very well when I'm not in my own bed. Oh no, you didn't bring your binky. I didn't bring my wife, but that didn't matter. To some people? Yeah. One in the same. One in the same.

Zach, what are you laughing about? Come on. Seriously, Zach. Zach, grow up. Get married and then you laugh. I slept. Well, let's see you laugh. I truly, this is no cap, not, this is no cap, dude.

This is not me being bunk. This is not like some kind of invalid thing I'm doing here. This is real facts. I slept poorly five nights in a row, like woke up four or five times a night. Just really got home last night, slept like a light and slept like a slept like a freaking light. Out like a light. And slept like a, slept like a freaking light. Out like a light. Hey. Like a light.

Hey. Do the Isaiah dance. Do the New York Nits. Yeah. But you were not capping about not being able to sleep. No. That what you were being 100. I was, I was keeping it 100 by telling you

that I did not have a cap on, but I also did not lie about my caps. Right? What is so funny to this kid. Is he laughing? What is so funny? Stop laughing. We're in the middle of an advertisement read. We would never be funny on an ad read. This is serious. I slept next to my binky last night. Yeah. And Cozier sheets and boy, did it feel good. We really do love our bed. Yes. We don't want to leave it. It's amazing. It's amazing. I know it's also, we got a king-sized

Oh, yeah. Rachel and I went on a little double date. OK, and went out here to Shawnee Tomahawk Hills course. And I think we're back on a golf kick, too. Really? For multiple reasons. One. So it was like the other couple, they were in their own golf cart. They were doing a little two man scramble. Me and Rachel doing our own little two man scramble.

So playing against each other. And so on top of that, I incentivized Rachel. So I was like, all right, we're gonna keep track of how many times we use your ball tonight, like in our scramble. If you, hmm, what was that? That wasn't protected Bluetooth, don't hurt it. Don't hurt it.

I was like, all right, so if we use five or more of your shots, you get this like prize. If we use nine or more of your shots, you get this prize and there's like a grand prize like 13 shots. So there's like a tiered system. And anyway, she that works guys, if you need to get your girl into golf, incentivize them with material prizes. Okay. Cause then Rachel was like locked in golfed so well. She was joking. She's like, I found a way to make golf more expensive somehow. We're like doubling down, but we had a blast. We had so much fun playing. We shot under par together as like a two-man scramble and we'd never golf anymore

So wow, yeah, we're like we should just do this like once a weekend Just go like yeah 6 p.m. Go play nine holes. Yeah sunset. That's that sounds great. I know right that sounds very like Yeah Just really sweet. I guess it's a nice time. So yeah, we might we might be golfing this summer, too Sorry, let me respond to Catherine real quick. Oh, what's she going on about? Are the dishes in the dishwasher dirty? And I kind of broke down.

I think I left a few in there and she's like, there's not, oh, whoops. Yeah. Sorry, the glass containers are clean. I never know where to put the glass containers. I just put them out on the counter. That's the one thing I don't know where to go. How was Catherine this past weekend?

She was good, man. She said, yeah, overall, she seemed like she had a lot of help from my family, which is nice. And she made pizza on the pizza oven one night, which was a bold move. Like, I would just do, you know, bare minimum to get by and she's, you know, going above. Yeah, I had grilled cheese every meal. Yeah. But she was great. They called me a few different times. Kids called me for Father's Day, which was sweet, but for the most part she's pretty easy going and pretty, yeah, nothing too crazy. There was one time she told me a story. She said, Bo is five years old and he still needs help when he goes number two, like wiping

himself. Like partially our fault of being like, you know, cause if he doesn't do a good job, he smells and then we, whatever. So Hattie comes up and he's like, mom, Bo needs help, you know, wiping and Catherine's like, okay, I'll do it. And Hattie just goes, when I'm a mom, I'm going to teach my kids how to wipe themselves. And Hattie, Eric Hattie is like, yep, Hattie, you, you will be a better mom than me, you know, whatever. That's awesome. Yeah. This is maybe weird to say, but okay. So this stems from Rachel, I go to church, our pastor shows a video of his parents before they passed away. So they're like very old and they're like very old and they're talking about their relationship.

It was a really, really sweet video. Probably the best part of the whole church service was just like them talking about how they met and how they care for each other. You know, just like this girl was saying, you know, I got married when I was 18 and I thought that marriage was your husband showering you in gifts.

And I got married and realized your husband or your marriage is when he takes out the trash without you asking. And I'll say, it was just like cool stuff. But they get talking about how they're having to take care of each other when they get older. And I couldn't help but think about like, Rachel and I taking care of each other,

who's gonna be the one take care? And so it started this conversation after church. I was like, who's gonna have to wipe the other person first? That's what I got out of church. And I was like, man, of course I'll do it. But that first time, if I have to wipe you first, that's gonna be something. You just get a good bidet.

I've thought about that. I was like, could our kids use the bidet? Is that a thing? As a going on, what? Probably a little over two year bidet user, bidet alone, man cannot eat on bidet alone. Oh really? Is what I'll say, yeah.

You need some loaves with your fishes? You need, yeah, a little bit of loaf. Need some bread with that wine? Okay, good to know. Dang. Then again, maybe I'm just not, No, no, no. Maybe the pressure is not enough, you know?

I'm sure if you crank it up enough. Man cannot live up a day alone. So that's all, that's all I have to say about that. Okay, good to know. So yeah, we're all talking wiping. Anyway, yeah, Catherine did great. Isaac was great. I don't think I have much more.

Oh, there was a funny little thing. So on the very, like we drove from Gatlinburg to Lexington to stay on the way back. And we stayed at Jensen's cousin's house, got there late, kind of not distant relative, but yeah, obviously we didn't see them at all, but they had three little kids. They're all up in the like second floor sleeping up there,

but they had a little like old, like limpy dog that every once in a while came downstairs. And we had to go upstairs to shower at one point. old, like limpy dog that everyone saw, you know, came downstairs and, uh, we went, we had to go upstairs to shower at one point and we noticed all the kids rooms had their doors open, which that's, that seems crazy to me. Like the doors were like, I was like, because you're showering or because like kids don't do that. I just think most, I don't think that they leave their doors open to sleep. I guess that that's my, Oh, they're sleeping. Sorry. They're all sleeping. Yeah. It's like 10 30. Okay. Um, and they weren't like, some of them were wide open. Some of them were like cracked open. Uh,

Jensen's cousin joked like, uh, yeah, there's two spots, uh, downstairs on this huge couch we have, but then you'll have to pull straws and one of you can sleep in the baby's room. We have a queen size bed in there. And Jensen was like, that's clearly a joke. And then we get there. It's like, there's really only like two places. So Jensen's like, they wanted one of us to sleep. In the baby's room? In a new, like a one year old,

like what if we wake up that baby? Like all of us were like, absolutely not. For so many reasons, no, we're not doing that. Anyway, but I thought this was so funny. So there's this little dog, like just kind of a mangy, like kind of Scottish terrier, like medium sized little dog. Kind of. And Jensen goes, hey guys, I really can't imagine this being something

that you need to know, but it's just too big of a risk not to tell you. He's like, what a setup. He's like, that dog is super, super easygoing. He won't bark, he won't make a sound. But if you do your voice in any sort of accent, he goes crazy. Wait, what was the setup again?

He said like, this probably won't. Yeah, he's like, he's like, this probably won't affect you. But I need to say it. Cause like, what if, you know, cause it's like the rest of the house, all the five other people are all sleeping. Yeah.

And all of a sudden we make some accent, like say some story or something in a British accent. And that just triggers the dog. The dog knows that you make an accent. He's like, there's videos of it. I'm going to see if I can get a video and put it in here. But there's videos of him like he's super, super chill. And then this owner like changes their voice

and makes different accent or something. And he just goes absolutely bananas. The dog's name is Rosetta Stone. I don't know. Isn't that wild though? Like, yeah, it is. And maybe it wouldn't be as big of a deal if like they didn't know our voices already.

Yeah. How, I don't know about this. I mean, I would do some tests on this dog. Maybe in the morning when no one's asleep, but just like look at the dog. Eman. Eman. Iree. Like how much of an accent does it take for him to go berserk? Right. And is it like high pitched accent, low pitch? Howdy y'all. What kind of accent you got? I just, what if Johnny Youssef meets this dog? Johnny Youssef would be cooked. I think there's something wrong with your dog. That was better. Yeah. That's it. It's pretty mild. For one million rupees. Deal, deal, deal. Yeah. What if you just have an accent? How do you

hang out with his dog? I don't know, man. I mean, this dog looks like he's on his last leg literally like he is limping around He's a lot like most yeah, like older things in life currently living around. Yeah. Yeah Dog in the south he's a white dog. Yeah, you don't want those statues torn down. Oh, I tell you what that's history, right? So anyway, fun. Wow. You met a Southern racist dog. That's so perfect. I never even connected to like, oh, it's because you're doing a different races accent. I was thinking like British or something. Oh, do you knew British, you knew country?

Yeah. You knew like Boston. That's fine. No, no, no Irish. He actually loves Irish. Yeah. That's funny. I'm going to San Diego in a couple days and I remembered yesterday, I was like, I know I have a couple friends out there, but one of them, I met him after a show, I love this guy,

I'm pretty sure he has a Pickleball Quarters backyard, I think you're friends with him, I was like, I gotta connect with this guy. And then I realized I didn't know his name. And I was like, if I don't know his name, maybe I shouldn't hit him up to hang out. What are our thoughts on that? Because I remember the interaction,

I remember what he looks like. And I remember we talked about playing pickleball together. In general, I would say that's a good life motto to live by. But knowing this guy, his name is Jordan. I was gonna say Jacob. All right. What if I get like the syllables in the first letter? Yeah.

You're not gonna, yeah. Yeah. Syllables of the last name. Could you do that? I could not. No clue what they are. Okay. I think he's the kind of guy,

like he let me stay with him when I barely knew him. Yeah. Like he is awesome and so fun. He was awesome. J man. Big J. Juicy. J man big J juicy in the house, yeah, I

I think thank you could do it if you wanted to Jordan see I probably have his phone number I just didn't know what to look up cuz I couldn't remember it. I'll have his Oliver Kelly's phone number actually You know that you've always in the podcast to you. Oh, you don't know about all it there is I know about all of her But you know who all he pop is? Yeah, you heard about he told me about the last night There he is. I know about all of her. But you know who Ollipop is? Yeah. You heard about the Ollipop? He told me about that last night. This is actually perfect.

The first text he ever sent me was his address, so I could send him paddles. So, easy peasy, I'll just show up. Easy peasy lemon pickleball. Pickleball squeezy. Anyway, that'll be fun. Next week I'll have hopefully some fun stories of me, Rachel and Isaac being flown out

to participate in a birthday party. Yeah, tell me Diego I was gonna say that that's the gist of it. I don't think you've said anything about that. I had it Okay, I couldn't remember I hate thinking about repeating myself, but uh, she's known as horse girl. She's known as Anna buffini She is like hey, she hit me up a few weeks I was like I want to do a surprise birthday party for myself. What this means is you were invited, the surprise is on you guys. You don't know what's going to happen. So she's like, you want to come out?

I'll pay for everything. I was like, yeah, sure. That is so intriguing. Yeah. Yeah. So me, Isaac, Rachel are all flying out there. Going to try to see some friends. My dad's best friend from back in the day, Paul Shira. He was on the bachelor party trip.

He's in San Diego. We're going to get dinner with them. And anyway, so I have no idea what's in store for us, but I know all day Saturday, we have plans. So cool. And it's some sort of surprise. It's gonna be awesome. What would be your ideal?

Have you thought about what could happen? Because it's not gonna happen. She's gonna have some creative thing that's probably not what you're thinking of anyway. I think typically my, I'm pretty reserved with thinking, happen. Because it's not going to happen. Like she's going to have some creative thing is probably not what you're thinking of anyway. But like, I think typically my, I'm pretty reserved with like thinking, because I don't want to like get too excited about something that doesn't exist. So I'm just like, Hey, whatever happens happens. I even like when we were on the phone, I was like, I don't even want to hint. Like, I don't want to know totally anything. Just like I don't even want to know any details, actually. Just tell me when and where I need to be somewhere.

It's like bring your swimsuit and a tuxedo. Like sweet. So we are right. Where is the tuxedo like bring your swimsuit and a tuxedo. Sweet. So we are riding horses. Wear the tuxedo under your swimsuit. Figure that out. I was given a hard time. We're flying out there this past Thursday when we were listening to this. And I was like, cause originally she was like,

the birthday party is Saturday, but you can come whenever you want if you want to like get here early. And I was like, you know, I think so, Anna is black for those who don't half black, half Irish. Half bleeding Irish. Yeah.

Anna's bleeding birthday. I was just giving her a time that I wanna be flown out on Juneteenth. I think it makes sense to see her and her family. Like I wanna be there to celebrate. Yeah, good for you. I imagine Saturday is mainly about that. Okay, good.

Maybe. That's the expectations I have. That's in five months. But it'll be really fun. I'm excited for the stories I'll have. Oh yeah. Next week's episodes. And you get to meet Bleedin' Brian. Yeah, I assume.

I'll get to meet him in person. That's all I wanna do is hang out with Bleedin' Brian. Bleedin' Brian. Bleedin'. I would have a hard time not talking like you. Not like reciprocating. You know how sometimes you hang out with guys. You're like, Oh yeah.

What's up? Yeah. How you doing, man? Yeah. What's up, boy? Yeah. What's up, bleeder? Dude, speaking of that, Mike L DJ Mike L texts me a week or two ago.

So he posted on his Instagram, like I'm officially moving to Nashville. Probably like two days later, he texts me and is like, dude, I'm getting so into pickleball. How do I get your paddles? Like I'm going to dive getting so into pickleball. How do I get your paddles? Like I'm gonna dive headfirst into pickleball. I responded like, wow, one weekend in Nashville, you're already white. He loved that. He's like posting out on his story.

And so I text Scott, I'm like, hey, can you send Mikel some paddles? He's throwing some paddle covers for him. And Mikel, it's like we threw in some Bitcoin for him or something. He is so overwhelmed with gratitude. He's texting me. He ends up on his Instagram story right now,

is like a 30 second long thank you to Friday Pickleball because we sent him like a couple of paddle covers. Oh, the covers specifically. I mean, he can't believe the covers. He doesn't even know what to call them. He's like, I don't even really know what these things are. Unless y'all treat your paddles crazy. Paddle envelopes, I don't know what you're saying.

He's like, we got paddle protectors? It's so funny just hearing him talk about it. He's like, I got paddle protectors. Y'all treat your paddles crazy. He's paddle envelopes. I don't know. He's like, we got paddle protectors. It's so funny just hearing him talk about it. He's like, I got paddle protectors. Y'all treat your paddles crazy. I guess I got to learn. He's just so, so thankful. So that's pretty fun. Moving to Nashville. That's fun. Yeah. He's in Nashville. I got to get out there. Yeah. We should go. We should go road trip to Tennessee. When's the last time he does it like, I don't, um, had to be a couple of hours ago. Yeah. That'd be fun. At this point.

Tennessee was beautiful, dude. I'm not, not lying. Yeah. I like, I like Nashville a lot. I like Knoxville, even Lexington. Yeah. Lexington was cool. Yeah. Yeah. I'm there once. I think a lot of people crossing the road when they're not supposed to though. A lot of jaywalkers. And I was like, I said that, I was like, dang, there's a lot of people like kind of, kind of fitting the vibe of Lexington with these people walking across. And Isaac's like laughing at me like,

that happens in every city. I'm like, it happened, it's happened like five times in the 10 minutes we went to get coffee. Like that's whatever. How was the coffee there? The one place we went was awesome. It was very good. It was not mainstream Street Roasters quality,

but if Main Street Roasters provided for them, it would have been a great vibe. Like they had an outdoor seating area that we sat in for a while. Yeah, all good. We had Keurig K-Cups though for the time in Tennessee. I got by, but not my favorite. They got by.

Zach, it's fun to have you on the podcast because I feel like I've seen you a lot recently. There was one day we started trying to twice in one day. That was a great day. It's a crazy day, Brad. Wait, twice in one day? Yeah, you came over during the day to pick up some paddles for your little rendezvous.

Oh, I don't speak French. What does that mean? Oh, and you don't have to talk about it if you don't want and then drop up some foot. Oh And then later that night we started to their Culver's or you didn't go three times in one day. No, it's just Sorry, I got so excited Yeah, but that two-time gap is education is counting. Yeah. Yeah The gap in my education is me just being dumb. So we did see you, we saw you in the parking lot,

we were leaving, you're coming to Culver's, and then by the time I backed up my car, you guys were also leaving Culver's. What happened? You got turned away? We- You speak in an accent? Yeah, there was dogs in there,

they did not like how we spoke. No, but we were going to Culver's, we had just played pickleball, we wanted ice cream, we wanted food. I thought Culver's, best of both worldsball. We wanted ice cream. We wanted food I thought Culver's best of both worlds food ice cream following bread Yes, okay, I was a little delayed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I thought this was a great idea. They were on board We get there. We're walking in the door. They go, you know, it sounds better McDonald's

So we leave the place we're already at to go to McDonald's and then we just had the worst time at McDonald's. They forgot our orders. The ice cream wasn't mixed. Why would you leave it not mixed? We can give you the packets if you want to mix it yourself. Why would you leave Culver's against McDonald's? I have no idea. I don't know. It was not a good time. That's a bummer.

In these friends of yours, I'd met them playing pickleball before and they seemed normal, but they must not be. I guess not. Dang. Secretly just. You got out of the car before they said it? They were like in Culver's I think. We were walking into Culver's. That.

That's so messed up. Bad friends. Can I cuss real quick? Do it. For me. That's messed up dude. Brad. Gosh. Hey, mute me real quick. That's. I don't know how to mute you. It me messed up dude Brad hey mute me real quick that's I don't

know how to meet you messed up dude what'd you get from McDonald's this guy's on his gains he's just doing nothing but burger patties cold unmixed ice cream unmixed ice cream he's horrible man dude yeah that's a bummer cuz Culver's Culver's more expensive yeah Culver's is the Chick-fil-A burger place. You know exactly what you're going to get at Culver's. The quality will be high every time. McDonald's, I'm not a hater of McDonald's necessarily. I am now.

I'm a hater of expecting anything higher. If something bad happens at McDonald's, it's like, well, that's on me. I'm gambling with McDonald's. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like it's like you go to the casino, you play blackjack. You expect to win a lot. Like every time. Yeah. Whereas like you lose your money at like picking a number in the roulette thing. It's like, well, yeah, I played roulette. Like that's on me. It's not on McDonald's roulette.

Yeah. The ice cream machine's down half the time. Yeah. The fries could be cold, could be hot, whatever. You know what I like about Chick-fil-A and Culver's? When you first walk in, it's like a subconscious thing, but let me go back up. When you go to a McDonald's or a Taco Bell, you're like, where are the workers? I see maybe two of them.

When you go into Chick-fil-A and Culver's, you're like, they have too many of them. I think, yes. Which I don't think they actually do. I think they're just incredibly efficient and they know what they'reA and Culver's, you're like, they have too many of them. I think, yes. Which I don't think they actually do. I think they're just incredibly efficient and they know what they're doing. Culver's has so many. They have so many.

It does feel like there's 25 people back there. But the line moves fast. They know what they're doing. I like that about them. Absolutely. So. You know a place that has a lot of workers that I've never visited, I've never patronized,

but I've seen from a distance. It was, it's that car wash, club car wash maybe? It's by the Chick-fil-A Ward Parkway one. It was always right there. And I worked for Kira. They always had like a million high school boys just ready to like, I guess, wipe down your car. Just baking in the sun.

Why were there so many of them outside? Do you know what I'm talking about? Oh yeah. Like what is that? What is that business? I mean, it's a car wash, but like, why are there so many boys out? I knew a guy that were a youth group kid worked there

and I think he got a lot of tips, he said, for like, because like you could get your car detailed potentially, like you would go that high up. Oh, maybe a little bit of that too. I mean, like, you know, not like a $300 detail, but like a hundred dollar detail kind of thing. Like a vacuum or something. Yeah, so.

It just really seemed like there's just so many boys. Just with towels. So many boys. Like there's no way there's this much demand, but I never went there, so I don't know. I don't know either. I do think it does, it seems like we're 10 years too late, but it feels like the car wash industry

would have been a good one to get into. Yeah. Like those things are humming through people. They are. Always. You got a car wash membership? Yeah. Zach, you got one? I do.

I've been trying to cancel it and I don't know how. You just cancel your credit card. Joke's on them. Obviously then you have to jump through a few hoops after that. Yeah, that's great. But that is one way of doing it. My car wouldn't be insured anymore,

but wouldn't have to pay for my car wash. That's great. There you go. How can you not cancel it? What are you trying to do? Well, I've gone through the line before and I was like, I want my membership canceled. It's like 10 bucks a month, that's crazy.

And they gave me a QR code, and they were like, I can't do it, go online and do it. And I lost the QR code, and I just haven't been back since. So you're not trying that hard, let's be honest. I will give you that, I don't like that we can't do it though. See, I'm sure they could. When you're at their place of business,

they can't. They're in this for me. Yeah. All right, yeah, you scan it. Yeah. When I give you my cell phone and you do it. Yeah. Where was I ever recently where they couldn't do something

that was, I don't know, it doesn't matter, but I don't like that feeling. It is frustrating. It's like, there's nothing we can do. This is higher up than us. And it's like, well. Is it really? I remember when Chipotle first came out with quesadillas, you

couldn't order it standing right in front of them. They were, it was online only for quesadillas. I was like, no, it's not. It's right there. Hey, you got to do on the app. I'm like, what have I do in English? Still? No. Yeah. Do you think that's because it takes too long or what's, what's the reasoning for that? Good question. I don't know. It's like, I have seen that too. It's online only. It's like you guys spent, like, it looks like a pretty big machine that they put in Good question. I don't know. Because it's like, I have seen that too. It's online only. It's like, you guys spent, like, it

looks like a pretty big machine that they put the quesadillas in or whatever. I don't know. I've never, have you gotten one? No. Always forget. Yeah, kind of lame. Because you can get like the amateur quesadillas,

but there's like high-end quesadillas. Zach, we're going to do an improv game real quick for an ad read for Main Street Roasters. All right, ready? Pretend like you're really tired. Oh. Wait, well, camera on you. Camera on you. Cam, cam, cam.

Really? Yes. What? Why? Because I just I feel great, Brad. Really? Yes. What? Why? Cause I just drank Main Street Roasters. Really? I did. That's coffee?

It's the best coffee. Is it from Napanee, Indiana? Yes. Is it owned by a great family that listens to the podcast? How did you know? It is. I know because I know them, dude. I've met them now. We're friends.

Wow. Yeah, know them, dude. I've met them now. We're friends. Wow. Yeah, Miller's, dude. And like where exactly is that coffee? Like you drank it? I did drink it. I put it in a cup and then I drank it. And now I feel great. Do you feel like in your veins?

I don't know what that comes out to, but I know GRKCO will get you there. Every time. Every time. Every time. Real life scenario drill over, back to the episode. Going back to the car wash thing, something I've noticed is there's always a guy, oh, he never smiles.

This is the guy who is waving you in. Put it in neutral, no brakes! So good. Yeah, two observations about this guy. One, I feel embarrassed for some reason, or like I just feel nervous that I'm not lining it up properly, I don't know why I get nervous, I think I nail it. But I'm just like, he sees cars through this all day long,

I wonder if I'm doing it as good as the other cars, you know, I'm just like trying to get it perfect. That's one thing. The second thing, you watch the car in front of you go, you watch your car go, he's only spraying the left side of my car, no. Oh, really? You know what I mean?

Like he's not doing a full 360. He stays on the left side the whole time, waving people in and just like- In neutral, no brakes! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Patrick Mahomes over there. No, no. In neutral, no brakes!

He just stays on that side. It's like, okay, you lightly sprayed the bugs off the left side of my car. He might never go around. You might need to come to mine. Where you go? We got two guys. I don't remember what it's called,

but it's down like two minutes from our house. You love it, huh? I'm satisfied, yeah. It's great. They got guys on both sides spraying down. Maybe I will. So I'm at go car wash No reason okay. I know I know the one yeah, that's great. All right

What's mine called tidal wave maybe no? Maybe that's the old one. I can't remember but not bad. I'll just say that man. All right. All right, let me talk car wash Wow We were talking about Zach's eating I'll just say that much. All right. All right. We talked car wash. Wow. We were talking about Zach's eating shred update. How we're all doing? I know Zach along with us also trying to get healthy. You did 75 hard. Was that the beginning of this year?

Yeah. So I started the year with 75 hard. Your voice is too deep. Go back to normal. Yeah. So start the year with 75 hard. 75 hard. Turned into Johnny Yousef for a second.

I started my year. He's not a leprechaun, dude. I started the year at the bleeding 75 hard. What is Johnny Youssef? He's Egyptian. Oh, I don't know how to do that. Maybe day 75 I'll get to the rainbow. Yeah, but I did 75 hard.

Well, I didn't do it. I got 67 days into 75 hard. Tell everyone what 75 hard is. Okay, 75 hard is every single day for the first 75 days of the year. You have to read 10 pages of a book, drink a gallon of water, do an outside 45-minute workout, inside workout. Strict diet, no cheat meals, no alcohol. Hardest part for me, that was the alcohol. But every single day.

You're a big bourbon guy, Kentucky boy. You know me, I can't help myself. But it was great. In the 67 days that I did it, I lost 25 pounds. I did it in Nicaragua. I did it at midnight in freezing weather. It was a great thing for me, but I failed because one day I had a 103 degree fever. I just could not get it done. But yeah, it was great. And then- What'd you do after that?

So you get a fever, day 68, you rest, do you go back to working out? Or like what are day 69 through 200? I never stopped working out. I've been pretty consistent with the working out, but the diet, that's what kills me. The diet's been really hard to be consistent with. Non-mix ice cream.

Yeah, I know, I know. So, 68 was just a lot of regret. That's what happened that day. And then from then on, it's been like, this week, yeah, I'm walking back in. Yeah, I'm back. Abs before summer, abs before summer. And then the next week,

oh, Papa John sounds really good. So, I'm just like in. Yeah, I'm back. Abs before summer, abs before summer. And then the next week, Papa John sounds really good. So I'm just like in this limbo of like, You're working out, but the eating comes and goes. Yeah, so I'm still, I think I'm just about maintaining where I was by the end of 75 hard. How are the abs right now? Oh, flabby, very flabby. Prove it, no I'm just kidding.

Yeah. But yeah, I mean, I hate. Eating means you get stronger. So my bench has gone up 20 pounds in the last month. I did see a video of you bench pressing. And if I may say. No. So Brad, when you do the bench press.

Yes. Would you say you go down to your chest, would you say you go down to your chest or would you say you go down to where Zack goes down? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Call them. Whoa. I wasn't planning on bringing this up. You brought up bench press.

Don't bring it up. Don't bring it up. It's a simple question for Brad. I go down to my chest. Okay, okay, wait, can I interject? You may. Can I interject, are you sure? Yeah, you can get some off your chest or?

Maybe you don't actually. The angle is deceiving. I recorded at a low angle. So it's like, can you not see? But if you look at my elbows, my elbows go parallel with my body. I didn't look at the elbows. The elbows go parallel with my body.

I was looking at his hands go down like six inches and just like kind of thinking like, I mean his chest isn't that high up. So I mean I can't imagine that touching his chest. I was looking at his hands not go down to his chest isn't that high up. So I'm I just can't I'm pretty high up I can't imagine that touching his Let's look at his hands not Go down to his chest It does I swear um, that's good. I'll give you a bit of a doubt. It was it wasn't weird angle Yeah, and it was a lot of weight. It was so regardless. Yeah, I mean I'm impressed that boy

I appreciate that lifts hard, baby. Let's have you what about you guys shred? I would say I'm impressed. That boy. I appreciate that. Lifts hard, baby. Lifts heavy. What about you guys? Shred? I would say I'm on the same. I've been decently consistent with the activity. I've been less consistent with the food recently. So yeah, that's, I mean, I just went to, yeah, bourbon country and, you know, all the hot dogs at the turns and the, you know,

all the different stuff that. Dude, I go for it. While you can, before you get a tick bite, eat as many hot dogs at the turn as you can. Do it for me. Oh, I wish I could. Oh yeah, just like, yeah. Had peach rings this weekend.

Rachel was just talking about peach rings. Those things don't go out of style, man. I don't care what brand, I'm not loyal to any brand. Any thing that got generic, whatever. Peach rings are nice. Peach rings. It's like one of those things you never seek out, but when they're there alright I'll take 20. Yeah, all All in hell house those bad boys take two handfuls, please

Thanks, so yeah need to get back on the grind a little bit But you know beach seasons coming up so go see getaway. Yeah, I get away. I was by go see getaway. Yeah, so I Go see getaway. Yeah, abs by getaway. Abs by go see getaway. Yeah. So. I think, I've been thinking about this recently. I think for me, getting back and working out

post mole removal surgery in China, that was harder than starting fresh like January. Why do you think that is? I don't know. Something about like in January, there was a lot of buildup to it. I was so excited to like, I'm gonna start taking this seriously.

I'm gonna eat healthy. Like there was a lot of like momentum going into it I was so excited to like, I'm going to start taking this seriously, I'm going to eat healthy. Like there was a lot of like momentum going into it. It was like, I'm, I'm rocking myself like into it. And then after taking a break and going to Asia and everything, I had no momentum rocking me back into it. I just had to like drag myself back. It's so hard to get back in a routine. Yeah. Which is interesting.

Cause I feel like for me, it's easier to do that kind of stuff in the summer versus the winter. Cause winter, I just wanna be cozy at home and sit there and veg out kind of thing. Veg out. Yeah, ironically not with veggies. Yeah, carn out.

Carb out. No, but I am I am doing well now It was really tough and like May to get back into it But now that summer for Rachel we go to lifetime together almost every day. Yep. It's super fun. That's great She started off like we would do the same workout together. She's now found her own girl workout We kind of you know, we're trading spots in the gym. Yeah, it is fun. They're together. Yep. We go a lot. That's really fun Good apps by getaway That's fun though. Yeah, it is fun. We're there together. Yep, we go a lot. That's really fun. Good. Abs by getaway.

Abs by getaway, that's what we always said. Dude, that just reminded me, two different, this is so funny, Rachel would be great to tell a story, but two different times this week, I had someone, all right, let me just tell the story. So Rachel and I went to Strang Hall. It's a nice little, it's like a cafeteria almost, like seven different restaurants in one spot.

A guy comes up to us who I guess works there and is just being friendly nice little like, it's like a cafeteria almost, like seven different restaurants in one spot. A guy comes up to us who I guess works there and is just being friendly and just like, how you guys doing your meal? Great. You know, there's an art museum up the road. Oh, okay, cool. You know, he's just happy to be talking to someone, lots of conversation.

And then he's talking to me about, they're opening a new char bar down South and it's gonna have pickleball courts. And I said, I was just at the char bar in Parkville, there's pickleball courts a couple of days ago. And he's like, you know, it's gonna have pickleball courts. And I said, I was just at the Char Bar in Parkville, there's pickleball courts a couple of days ago. And he's like, you know, it's funny, I heard that there's guys out there who like, they take this pickleball stuff serious.

I mean, these guys, they're out there, they're reserving courts. They're not like guys like you and me who just wanna have a beer and go play a game. And I don't correct him, I just let him do his thing. But I was like, what about me gave off that all I wanna do is have beer? Oh yeah.

You know, guys like you and me. Well, you've been growing the mustache. I'll say that may be it. Yeah. Growing mustache and maybe I hadn't showered in a couple of days. Guys like you and me, we're not going to the gym. We're having a beer, maybe one game of pickleball.

Pills are in a little bit of pickleball. But yeah. So it was kind of funny. We were very much just, you know, we're friendly, entertain that, whatever, didn't think much of it. And then literally the next day, I guess I'll just call him out for it. So then I'm at the lifetime pool a couple of days ago,

I ran into Will Severance and we're talking about something. He's asking like, if we ever like take advantage of some of the classes there or anything and like, no, we've never done any of the classes we don't do. We'll love to promote this stuff. Yeah. We don't do yoga.

And he's like, you guys should do it. It's like a great stretch. I noticed it for days afterwards. And there's like guys in there, like guys like, he's like Jake, I mean, there's guys who look like you and me in there. And I really didn't think much of the time, but it was Rachel who brought it back. She's like, man, two days in a row, you've been like told what kind of guy you are.

And she's like, for the record, I think you look better than what I was. And I was like, that's so funny. I didn't even think about that. I don't think I have a great sense of what I look like. But that's so funny that Rachel was like, don't talk about him. He's in, he's like, he looks good.

Come on. That's so back to back days. Guys like me looks good. Come on. Yeah, yeah. That's so. Back to back days. You know. Guys like me and you. Just guys like you and me. You know, we got a few extra pounds. We like our beer.

Right? We're not really into the pickle ball. Yeah, we've had some peach rings in the past few years. Yeah, guys like you and me, man. You know, we are one in the same. UFC fight this weekend. Right. Guys like you and me.

Come on. We'll be into it. Couple dogs, couple glizzies. Micro brew later. Ooh, watch some Joey Chestnut highlights. What are we thinking? So yeah. They watch Joey Chestnut. Recently, I've just been on a roll. That's funny. People are like, I mean, we're one of those things. Will cracks me up, man. That's so Will. I've heard him give that exact same speech to me. Like really, or something. Say you gotta go to yoga man. Dude, yoga is great, man. You can borrow my mat. Like I'm like, the mat's not what's holding me back. He called me the other day. He's like, I've been,

I've been running, just figured you might want to come run with me. I'm like, I, I would never want to do that. I was like, you and me, we don't run. I'm like, and he's like, I run really slow. I'm like, that's not, I just don't like the idea of running. Like I will, I will run on the basketball court or like do cardio. I need a ball. I need something. I need a point.

I need, I need a reason to do it besides just like we just ran to that spot and went back and talked. I would even run from someone. I would almost consider that a point. That's fun. Yeah. Like hunting, like, like human hunting. The most dangerous game. Yes. I would almost consider that a point. That's fun, yeah, like hunting, like human hunting. The most dangerous game. Yes.

I would do that. Honestly, that sounds fun. I would get in a hit and run. That sounds fun, hitting fun. Hit and run is good. Yeah, I think run and gun, like offense, you know. Shotgun only. Shotgun only.

No, I think, honestly, I think the idea of like, okay, there's 10 guys with dodgeballs and you have a basketball court and you just have to sprint to the other side and touch the other wall without getting hit. That sounds kind of fun. Yeah. I mean, it'd be fun to even take a weekend, like a guy's trip and do these like Mr. Beast type challenges.

Like 10 of us are the CIA agents. Like you get like four acres down in Lewisburg. We're gonna try to find you now. That's a business idea Honestly, oh, yeah, it's like it's like a large escape room kind of thing But like yeah a much higher scale much more like expensive version of it It kind of like how paintball courses have just like large spools of twine. Where do you get these spools from? No, there's a spool factory. There's like a One of those like guns from Despicable Me. It makes the spool 10 times bigger.

Anyway, we would have spools out. We'd spool. We would have hiding spots. I think we'd have little care packages. Throw a smoke bomb down. You get like a care package dropped in. Surely you can get a drone that you could figure out how to drop something like that.

Artillery strike? A paintball artillery strike. That would be sick. That seems easy. Right? Johnny uses fireworks, like just shoot fireworks out in the. Dude, that could be a fun business idea though. I think it'd be awesome.

Guys hunting guys. GHG. Yeah, we have an app for it, like a grinder. Yeah, something like guys hunting for guys. Oh man. We'll look into that after this episode. It wasn't adjacent to that necessarily. But anyway, guys like you and me, we'll probably start something like that.

I should say we should. I should say. I get excited for the Ghost Starters getaway. The like second half of the deposits of all started coming in the last couple of days. So that's exciting. It is gonna be. People are really locking in. Like they're coming. Legendary, yeah. Got a call with Ortencia soon enough.

We're gonna talk through the menu. El menu, as they say in Mexico, where she's from. Yep, this dog would hate it. She doesn't speak English. What if we told everyone that the first thing? If you do speak English, speak really, she understands it, but she won't respond Spanish or Italian, if you know it only. Yeah. Get away. It'll be fun.

Should we do our reviews of the week? Should we end that way? Yeah, I just, just this new idea though, Zach, you can put the actual video in post, but can we listen to this audio? Jensen just sent me Just this new idea I thought of. Zach, you can put the actual video in post, but can we just listen to this audio? Jensen just sent me a video of this dog going crazy. Can't wait. What's Kamala? It is a racist dog. This is the dog just listening to Kamala Harris.

This is the dog just listening to come on here. So it's a racist dog at this point, or at least a Republican. Which these days, what's the difference? Am I right? Yeah, that's the main thing you could take away. We know how it voted. Kentucky. Oh, my God. That's so funny.

Anyway, okay. Reviews of the week.osies of the week. Roosies of the week. All right. This looks like a good one. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. This is from Corn Sweats. Corn Sweats is a great name. I started listening to you a few years ago

after hearing about you from Gene Schwartz. Hey, Gene Schwartz, trickle down. I dove in deep listening to old episodes while keeping up with the current ones. You guys were a constant source of laughter during my days at home with kids. I scroll down, I dove in deep, listening to old episodes while keeping up with the current ones. You guys were a constant source of laughter during my days at home with kids. I look forward to working out every day

because it was my dedicated listening time. I was surprised by how much we had in common. I'm Jake Sage, I homeschool our kids, I live 20 minutes from Rachel's hometown. Whoa, I don't know where that is. And my husband graduated from UNI. I frequently would tell my husband that Brad or Jake had said on the, oh, I had told my husband graduated from UNI. I frequently would tell my husband that Brad or Jake had said on the pod,

oh, I had told my husband something that Jake or Brad said on the pod. I tried to get him to listen to Noavail, then disaster struck. At the beginning of this year, I felt the Lord telling me to give up your podcast. I fought for it for a while. I'm nervous where this is going.

I fought for it for a while. I mean, how could listening to a clean podcast by two funny Christian guys that brought me joy be something bad? Clearly, I must have misunderstood God. After a month or so though, I did the hard thing and gave up Ghostrunners. Life felt empty. Colors were less vibrant. I didn't laugh nearly as often. But then a funny thing happened. One night, my husband and I watched an episode on YouTube. Then we watched the next and the next, and we haven't stopped since. The other night, he was proud to show me

how much of the intro song he knows. He points out things that remind him of the pod. We bought Friday paddles for our anniversary. We just got done playing pickleball and dyke. Oh, yes. Evil skivers. A great spot. And he made sure to drive by a certain,

not quite open yet coffee shop. That's amazing. That's so cool. The podcast is driving Joyful Java customers. It turns out I had to give you up to gain something more. I'm proud to be a ghostie once again, this time with my favorite person right alongside me, sharing all the fun. Thanks for bonding us together even more.

You guys are great. Thank you, Corn Sweats. Corn Sweats. Who are you? I can't believe you grew up 20 minutes from Dyke New Hartford. That is crazy. And when you're listening to this,

today is the grand opening of Joyful Java. So you can go now joyful Java They've had their a soft opening for about a week or so now cool and I like private friends and and it's going well It's fun. Tell them tell them Jake and Brad since you and you get was it 60% off. I think 60% of Whatever you do up charge a lot though So maybe just pay just pay the regular price. Tell them we sent you. Yeah.

Niners fan is the name of this review, five stars. Just want to say a heartfelt thank you for all the laughs. I've been listening since 2020. Unlike so many other fans slash listeners, you've gotten me through so many rainy days, but also sunny days. I had to stop for a minute though. Another person that's stopping listening for a second. That's the key.

I had to stop for a minute though, because I'm a 49ers fan. And well, I was heartbroken and well, bitter. OK? Really just talking it out. But I can't blame you for being Chiefs fans. And that didn't last long anyway, because I couldn't stay away. Everyone should listen to this podcast,

because not only are these three hilarious, they also keep you up with what's new and trendy. That's me. That's us. Latest food health news, celebrities, movies, shows, podcasts, sports, and even travel destinations and games.
