this weekend noticing that I really think it's funny when people do accents, like, or just voices in general, like Jensen and his dad, a lot of the time, like just like, you know, his dad was big. Yeah. And you know, that's why your mom loves me so much. You know, like just a little bit of like a goofy voice. I like, I liked, his dad was big. Yeah, you know, that's why your mom loves me so much You know, like just a little bit of like a goofy voice. I like I liked it every time. Hmm I don't think I've ever heard my dad do a funny voice Your dad do funny voices sometimes like, you know, you know completely voices, but yeah kind of like Yeah, a little bit of like a character like Oh Brad. Yeah, that's your mom. She loves that, you know

I don't know like I don't know. Like, I don't know. Like, yeah. He does like some funny things to his voice. Your mom do funny voices. Oh yeah. Mom. Mom was the funny one. She's the character. She's hilarious. She's yeah. Just she'll get a little like country sometimes be like, Brad, clean up room. She'll say that. Yeah. These days, these days. Well, I'll get breath smells in here. You better put an air freshener out. That's nice. Yeah. So what are your go to voices with your kids?

That's a good question. I mean, I haven't done it as much recently, but the dish, you know, when we do it, I don't know. That'd be funny to ask them. Or like, it's hard to like think about exactly what I do, but I do all sorts. I mean anything I do on the podcast. I probably do it from there like It's I mean the dog thing recently like what are you doing dog? Come on dog and then Hattie and Bo's even get yeah dog Yeah, yeah

Wait, have you guys heard about this dog jaw trend? Have you seen this? Uh-uh. No. Okay, so certain people have this thing. So I have it, where you have a dog jaw. Like, Zach, feel, sorry to make you get up, but feel certain jaws. I don't think Brad has it.

But I think, come over here, feel my jaw. Me come over there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go quick. There's like a thing called dog jaw. And like certain people, like right under here. Rar! Ha ha!

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 from the Spark Can Ghost from the Spark Can There among the morning overtaking Grand Ghost from the Spark Can Every Monday morning we're taking grandma to the spa, yeah Go for a vodka? I knew it. I was like, right when I was like, I was like, this is...

Oh man. Wow. That's good. Is that... Have you seen that before? Is that a new trend for real though? That was really scary. I'm homeschooled. I don't get out. Bro.

That's really scary. I could have had the pleasure of doing that to you. I was nervous. Yeah. Oh Do you? But did you feel it though? I did the dog dog is crazy. Is that like a condition is the genetic? No, yeah, I've always had it. Oh, did it smell like up dog? What's what's up dog? Oh, hey, man. What's up with you? I Oh, hey, man. What's up with you? I Had something and I forgot where I put it it was underneath

It's under there under underwear You guys are so funny, oh man, that's that's joke that's a joke for you. It's a good joke This weekend in Tennessee got to meet all Jensen's friends and two of them specifically cracked me up because of how much energy and like how much commitment they had to always singing whatever song Jensen would like come up with and sing. Like they would just start singing along with them. And it was like, it was like,

they were like a jukebox on demand. Like a musical theater weekend. Between the three of them. And it was like, it was like, they were like a jukebox on demand, like a musical theater weekend between the three of them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, I don't know what's a, what the song give me a song. I can't live in on a prayer. Yeah. So great example, because maybe as we're walking up to a green or something, uh, Jensen would be like, Oh, we're halfway there. And then the other two guys are just, I don't know, I'll just be like, Oh, living on a prayer. And then they'd just be done.

Like so often, like, like 10, 15 times a day. And it was like, they were always committed to singing along. And I was like, I noticed that he's like, you don't do that with your friends. I was like, I don't think I ever would do that. I think I'm like, I'm not, I don't mind if you sing the songs, I just never joined in the chorus, you know? Maybe I would if I was more confident in the way I sang,

but no, that's never crossed my mind to sing with my boys. Like they were doing it, like we got rain delayed a little bit, so we were all in the clubhouse. And like in a conversation, somebody said something that was also a little bit. So we were all in the clubhouse and like in a conversation, somebody said something that was also a song title. So one of would sing it. And then the rest of them, it was like, it was like one of those like choir, like moments, like where people are like singing

along to each other at the line. King cast is on our flight. It was like that. It was hilarious. Honestly, I enjoyed it so much. But also I was like, I didn't feel naturally like I was going to do that. Like if I did it, it would be forced. Whereas these guys, that is part of their personalities.

They're just gonna sing along. This is kind of what I thought you were gonna say, which I'm glad you didn't, because this annoys the daylights out of me. So it's gonna be, it doesn't happen often, but you'll see someone like maybe they're mulling about. Okay. They're not really doing anything,

but it's like, they're looking for their phone and they're going, where's my phone? Where is my cell phone? Like making that into a tune when you don't need to, for whatever reason. Once you notice that people do that sometimes and they fall back into that, now it just bothers me like crazy. What is that? notice that people do that sometimes and they fall back into that, now it just bothers me like crazy.

What is that? Why do people do that? I don't know. I'm trying to think if I do it. What are you doing later? What am I doing later? Later on. I can't remember what I'm doing later.

Like people do that. Oh, stop it. That's infuriating. That is, yeah. Cause it's not, it's not pretty. It's infuriating. That is, yeah. Because it's not pretty. It's like a monotone terrible song. Would it be worse or better if it were pretty though? That's a good point.

You know? Do the version. I don't remember what I'm doing later. I might go get some groceries and then come home and watch a little TV. Something like that. Yeah. Just the first part of, uh, what's the Whitney Houston? I will always love you. It just like, I don't have my keys.

Yeah, that would be annoying to probably either either version. Yeah, just belting it out. Yeah, there's a how I met your mother episode that they talk all about that for really Marshall is his name. Yeah. Yeah, because they were they were like, they pointed out the flaws in one person like you correct everybody you do this you chew really loudly and then it's like, all of a sudden it's like, all right, fine, let's point out everybody's flaws.

Like, you wanna talk about that? What about you? You sing everything. So. Dude, chewing loudly just reminded me, this is sounding so negative, but I went to the sauna at Lifetime this past week because I injured my dumb calf

and wearing a compression sleeve, it's so embarrassing. I'm trying to heal it and rehab it as quick as I can. But I was like, I can't like do a lot of cardio. I'll go to the sauna and get a sweat that way. I'm having a really nice time. No electronics, just me. In the male, so there's a sauna in the men's room and there's a sauna.

Oh, by the pool. By the pool. That's like co-ed. I did the men's room sauna. Great. And I mean, they're all by myself. By the pool. I did the co-ed. Men's room sauna. Great. And I'm in there all by myself, truly nothing else. It's like pure silent. And then a guy comes in, first of all,

wearing sweatpants, socks, and shoes. Already he has like. Okay. Yeah. Messing with the vibes. Yeah. Even though this is my first time in here. It feels like you're messing with the vibes.

Wait, no shirt? Take your socks off, dude. No shirt, but. No, it's like fully clothed. Okay, okay. But I didn't know why I had pants and socks and shoes on. But then the main thing he did was just like, he ruined the silence by like the worst noise possible.

And it was like, I didn't want to like be rude and like turn around and stare. So I don't know what he was doing exactly. But I think he was just like chewing on a straw extremely loudly for 20 straight minutes. Oh, oh yeah. I know exactly what you're talking about with gum. Yes. And it might've been gum. I don't know, but it was like, dude, how do. I know exactly what you're talking about with gum. Yes.

And it might've been gum. I don't know, but it was like, dude, how do you not realize how loud you're being? Did he have headphones in? It's silent, I don't know, cause I didn't like, he went three rows back. And so I was like, if I want to look at him, I'm gonna have to turn all the way around to look.

So I did it, but I was like, this is unbelievable how you just ruined a completely quiet space. By just like. And it is quiet. Like there's no, there's no machines running. There's no, there's no hum. There's no nothing. It was perfect.

I could not believe the lack of self-awareness. I mean, he was being so loud. Oh, it infuriated me. It ruined my whole session. There is like, because 90% of people at lifetime have headphones in. And so you can tell, like I know exactly what you're talking about.

Where I'll just be sitting in there. Sometimes I bring a book in there. Oh, that's nice. I told you I Melted my book that yeah stayed in there too long. But yeah people with headphones will come in Yeah, just like breathe real heavy Yeah, I'm doing all these different things some people do push-ups in there so I might get out of here just be chill So that's a bummer. Yeah.

Yeah, it's all good. I'm all right. You're all right. Good for you though, going this on. Yeah, I'm trying to, it's funny. I've just, I'm so into pickleball. It's just like this little calf injury. I'm like, I'll do it.

I'm like, I have this whole regiment. You know, I'm icing multiple times a day. I'm compression. I'm trying to do all these things. I'm like, I'm a pro athlete. I don't know why day, I'm compression, I'm trying to do all these things. I'm not gonna be a pro athlete, I don't know why I'm doing all this, but just trying to get back into it. But you know, two weekends ago,

I played with Jada, our sponsor player, came in first in this tournament, won a little bit of money. This past weekend, the reason I didn't go on Jensen's trip is because I'd already signed up for like a big pickleball tournament, huge tournament, big payout. Me and this other guy won $1,000 this weekend.

Big dubs. It's kind of crazy. It's like, it's really profitable to be a 4.5 level player in Kansas City these days. Yeah, I don't want to get too good. I need to stay right where I'm at. Okay, yeah, if you get too good, then. Just be the best of the 4.5s, and then you can win money.

Wow. Unfortunately, I did like all the week of rest leading up to like trying to heal my calf, second game manager. She's like, oh yeah, it's just back to zero again. What does it feel like? I think I just pulled a muscle on it. So I'm just, if I just rested for two weeks, it'll be fine.

But this weekend, I got to San Diego birthday party. I know we're gonna be out and about. We're going to trampoline party. Yeah, I'll do Flamingo style, one footed. But this is kind of fun. So here in like about a month, there is an even bigger tournament in Kansas City. So this one, it's like borderline,

like I wouldn't say pro, but between two people, your duper level, your rating has to be 11.3 or lower. So this is about, you know, five and a half per person. So this would be perfect for Scott and TJ. I am quite a bit further down than Scott and TJ. However, mathematically, I could play in this tournament with a really good player.

Yeah, Ben Johns. So what I've been doing, not quite Ben Johns, but a guy who's become a good friend, another pickleball YouTuber, that pickleball guy, I've talked about him before, his name's Kyle Kazuda. He knows Tate Unruh, they did a basketball camp together. We've gone and hung out with him in Arizona before. Great guy.

We talk YouTube all the time. Anyway, he's a 6.3. It would work out perfect. I mean, he's like basically a pro. He is a pro. Yeah. And I have been on the recruiting trail for like the last week or so

where I'm like sitting of different things. Yesterday, I edited a series of videos that made it seem like I was on SportsCenter Top 10. So I had the SportsCenter Top 10 graphics and I did the music in the background. I narrated it myself like, today the world play comes from Kansas City, Missouri. We got a guy, you know, and I was just talking.

So I'm sitting in my own highlight film and I think we got him. So I think he's gonna come here. He said I'll be like the lowest rated partner he's ever come here. He said I'll be like the lowest rated partner he's ever played with. I think. Zach, mute it. Now what the frick is that?

Another client of yours? No, that one was just timing. Oh, timing? Another client of yours, I presume. Anyway, so I'll be rigid to see like, I'm by far the worst player in the tournament, he's the best player in the tournament, what's gonna happen?

Yeah. I'm just excited to share the court with him. It'll be really interesting to see like, yeah, cause like I feel like as far as sports go since pickleball is so new, the gap is obviously there between professionals and amateurs, but like if you and I tried to go play basketball against professional basketball players right now

It'd be a you know, the gap couldn't hang no, we couldn't even get a shot up, you know Like so it's like I wonder how and that might be true. I may not be able to hang You know, I might just get worked all day and it may not be any fun But it's like how much can one pro player overcome that how much can he take over? I'm excited to see he's pretty tall Yeah, so he can he can span the court a little bit probably. Yeah, he played division one college basketball. He's an athlete. But yeah, can he overcome my lack of skill?

I don't know. So that'll be fun. I'm excited. It's like I get to share the court with Alex Caruso for a day. It's not Luca. It's not Steph Curry. In about 10 years, Alex Caroe will be a very good pickle.

Don't you think? Like, yeah, he just seems like, uh, yeah, I could get into it. But anyway, yeah, I made Kyle a lot of recruiting videos and I text him one every morning. I say, good morning, teammate. And I send him like a future video. I kind of want, I think that's a Patreon. We need a top 10. I think we need to see it sometime. That's pretty funny. Yes, That's fun So, you know for Kyle, I got every coop the yeah the calf. I got to have the calf sleep I got to go to the sauna. It's a team. Yeah, seriously though. I can't let him down. My partner's keep getting better and better

It's so nerve-racking. You know, it's like a 15 year old stud girl who drove all the way from Chicago, right? Oh boy Where's he from? Kyle lives in Phoenix. Okay. Yeah, so he's coming flying from Phoenix Yeah to play with someone who's so much worse than him, but it'll be awesome get to play good Scott. Yeah Yeah, I mean Scott come on just get in his head. Oh, yeah. Come on It's Scott's birthday today as we're recording this. Hey birthday Scotty and break him. You did it man 34 yeah Couldn't be me. Zach's back.

Yep, I'm here. Still getting a notification on the phone. Yep, Zach's here, Timon's still out. Zach mentioned that you had a video of Timon. I do, yeah. Can you send that to us in a text message and we can all watch it together? Yes.

Because Monday was a voice memo from Timon post-wisdom tooth surgery, but this is a and we can all watch it together? Yes. Because Monday was a voice memo from time and post wisdom tooth surgery, but this is a video of him post surgery. Yes. Let me. Well, that's sure fun. So somebody just texted me a voice memo. Someone just texted me.

Was it Abby? A normal text. Oh. No, Abby who? It looks like maybe Abby Roberts. Well, that's nice. That's her new, it's, you know, it's one of those like, this person might be. Oh, layac.

Abby voice memo is the name of the file. I got texted by a guy. What are your thoughts on this? This guy like wants to be an affiliate. He like runs a few leagues, wants to be an affiliate for Friday. So it's like, great, like send me your address, your email, whatever.

And sends me his email. And he's like, this is my email, but I never look at it. So I was like, great, like send me your address, your email, whatever. And he sends me his email. And he's like, this is my email, but I never look at it. So don't even bother. I was like, you don't. So he's just a phone guy. Look at your email. If that's the case, then don't have an email.

I've heard people, I think Tucker Carlson one time mentioned like, yeah, I don't do email. What? Okay, then don't say you have an email. I literally don't have one. I think that'd be awesome to be that high up where you just can choose to just not have a certain medium of communication.

You're like, I have it, I just don't, my assistants do it all so I don't even have the Gmail app. Yeah. That would be awesome. I think for a long time, and my dad was not some like, oh, big wig at his work, But I think for a long time, he would write out letters of emails he wanted to send. And some like his like administrative assistants

would type in. A scribe would come in. Cause he was so bad. Like he's really fast at typing with two fingers, but that's he's a two finger type. And so. I bet he is quick with two fingers. Yeah.

All right. Anyway, I already loved the first frame of this video. Is this edited? Is this color graded? He did edit it a little oh my gosh. Did he actually yeah, I knew it Some guys can't get away the colors are sums up. Oh, I love this So Zach we're gonna count to three and then we're all gonna play it together. Okay, okay. Do you have it turned up on the? Road caster. Yep. Okay. All right three two one timing. Are you dreaming? Are you do you know where you are? You're in the Kansas City area Uh huh. This is weird. Before last, I don't know how long it was gonna take him.

I don't know how long it lasted. But I just, I don't know, I don't remember going out. I just remember, I don't know, I forgot that. And then I, okay. Did I walk here? Hmm. We drove to this place. It's a special place.

It'll be good if you just stay here for a while. Okay. You seem out of it. You feel alert and ready to go? I don't know if I say that. You wouldn't say that? I wouldn't say that either. Very strange.

Very strange. So weird things going on right here. So weird things are out here. Weird things going on right here. Weird things. And I don't know how to describe it. 8-9-1-9, para-4-0-0. Hold on. This is, I know how to do it, I promise.

Good zip code. That is a really nice zip code. I appreciate that combination. I know, I have to read it. I promise. It goes off the code. That is a really nice zip code. I appreciate that combination. I know. I have to read it. I promise. It rolls off the tongue. How old are you?

I'm 19. Wow, I'm 17. I'm not very 19. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 19 is a way cooler age. I don't remember anything after I put the needle in here

and it said, it's for that. And then it said back. And I said, okay. And I was like, I'll probably know when I'm, when it starts to get sleepy. But I was so, I guess I got so sleepy that I never noticed when I was sleeping. Oh my gosh.

Wow. That was really good. It's fantastic. For not being like totally off the rails. That was extremely entertaining. 19, what is it? 19 is a way cooler age. That's a way cooler age.

I promise I know how to read. That's really funny. Gosh, that's great seeing time. I think my favorite part is the, that's great. Seeing time. I think my favorite part is the, that's a good zip code. Yeah. Rolls off the tongue. There's certain, certain avenues of comedy that are just universally funny every time.

That is adjacent to speech jammer. I would say just seeing someone off. So funny. Do you think if you gave them the speech jammer while they were already on that, would it get worse or just all of a sudden like even check itself out? They probably just get mad. I can't talk and I don't know why there's weird things happening. I promise I know how to talk. Oh man.

That's fun, Zach. Thanks for having that. Of course. Was that his dad with him? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's so fun.

I hope he's okay with that being out there. I did not ask him, but I'm sure dad with him. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's so fun. I hope he's okay with that being out there I did not ask him but oh, we've said much worse about him. Don't worry I have a new career path for myself love it. I think like 20 to 30 years from now. I'd like to be a magician and Branson. Oh So if anyone can help me do that, I'm halfway serious right now. I think that sounds fun. Comedian to magician, that seems like an easy transition. It seems way easier to go that way

than magician to comedian. Oh yeah? Yeah. I know a guy who's a magician. I was gonna say, we got a, yeah. Devin. Devin Henderson. Yeah.

I keep hearing that name, who is this guy? He was a magician. Oh. Big William Hung fan? Who is that? Why does everyone keep asking me that? Who is that? Was he in the town of music?

Yep. He was Air... Max. He was Max. He was wearing Nike Air Maxes. He was the one that did the magic trick in the show. Did you see that? Yes.

Yeah, he's a more of a comedian slash motivational speaker now. Wow. There's my in. Probably more motivational speaker with some comedy in there. I just think magic, yeah, you can learn a trick. You can just set aside time to do that. Illusions, not tricks, sorry, Max. Yeah.

And the comedy's a bonus. They're not coming for comedy. You get to like exceed their expectations. Where did this come from? What inspired? I listen to a bonus. They're not coming for comedy. You get to like exceed their expectations. Where, where did this come from? What inspired? I listened to a podcast. If you've seen O's, O's Perlman, the mentalist, he's made his rounds before hard knocks with Josh Allen or in the Bill's locker room, you know, like,

he's done these appearances over the years and they're always crazy in any way. A couple of weeks ago, he got Rogan's pin code, his like ATM pin code correctly. I don't listen to Joe Rogan, but like that clip went crazy viral cause Rogan did not respond well. He didn't like think it was cool.

He was like, how did you get this? No one knows this. This isn't funny kind of like thing. So then I listened to him actually on another podcast and he just did some of the craziest stuff I've ever seen. And so I'm like, this is cool. I mean, you think you could do that? Well, not yet, but yeah.

Because he's pretending, I think it's all like, mentalism, my theory is he's like, no, I'm just really good at reading your micro nods and I have a way of knowing how, I'm not reading your mind, but I'm just like, I'm very observant. It's all a magic trick. There's just a way to do it.

Do you think? With pin numbers? Yeah. I wonder how. Yeah, I don't pretend to know how, but I think he goes into that room already knowing what the pin code is. And then the illusion is how he pretends to figure it out.

Okay, okay. You know, so. And I don't need to be a mentalist. I'll do stage tricks. I'll do whatever. Okay. But Branson, doesn't that sound fun? And I want to entertain

old people, but like I'm old too. Like I want to do magic for millennials 25 years from now. Yeah. Yeah. You want to reference Miley Cyrus and people would be like, I know who that is. What is that? You're on a roll. I said that exact same thing to Rachel. That's so crazy. I told her, baby, you cut me in half. You are my mentalist. Yeah, dude. That's so crazy. I told her. We're there baby. You cut me in half. You are my mentalist. I'll be your assistant. Yeah, dude, that's crazy. I use the exact same example. I said I want to like, I would make references to, you know, it's old people Branson,

but I can like reference Miley Cyrus. That's exactly what I said. Yeah. Dude, are we being mentalized right now? Zach? I'm feeling pretty mental. What's my pin code? Blink with your left eye.

Four. Scratch your nose. Seven. Okay. Say my name. Zach, Zach, Zach. Two. Okay. Four, seven, two.

Okay. And scratch your jaw, scratch your dog jaw. Nine. Four, seven, two, nine. Two of those digits are correct and in the right spot. Oh, really? I kid you not, that kind of freaked me out. Two of the four are exactly right.

Oh my God. But he already knew that, he knew that coming in. He knew that coming in. I did. Yeah, he went outside to talk to his client. Yeah, it was my mom. There's gonna be some ghost that's like, that is my pin in. He knew that coming in. I did. He went outside to talk to his client. Yeah, it was my mom. There's going to be some ghost that's like, that is my PIN number. PIN, sorry.

When I got my debit card, they call you and they're like, what do you want your PIN to be? I had no idea. You're like, I'm not telling you. Yeah, I'm not supposed to tell people that. So I just gave them my phone password. Okay. And so that's the same.

When there's four digits, I use the same one. I think that's fine. Yeah. You think? Yeah. Wow. Because if someone like gets into your bank, it does something with it.

Can't you be like, that wasn't me. When have I ever like drawn out that much money? Like, all right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. Alvaro, you're a bank guy. Is he? Maybe that's one of the things wevaro, you're a bank guy. Is he? Maybe that's one of the things we need to ask people about is bank guy. Let's have a banker on here. Banker. I don't even understand that that career term. Oh, I'm a banker. What? So what like do you you prove loans and stuff? Yeah. Is that what it is? I bet.

That's the only thing I could think of. So you're a loner. Yeah. You don't do anything with anybody else. I'm more of a lone wolf. Lone sharks, there's lone sharks, there's lone sharks. Yeah, there are. Lone, lone fish. Anyway, yeah.

No, there's plenty of fish in the sea, so they're not. Oh, okay, they wouldn't be loners. This trick was just insane. He was on, the name of the podcast was called Flagrant. Okay? Who is that? Andrew Schultz. Oh yeah.

So that's the podcast. So he gets in there and he has like one of their producers. He like lets them pick, like, okay, this girl, great. He was like, I want you to imagine you went to a bodega in New York City and you grabbed something. It'd be a salty snack. It could be candy. It could be a beverage, whatever.

I want you to imagine what you grabbed. So that's how the trick starts. And then he says like, all right, now these other three guys, like the co-host on the podcast, he's like, I just want you to think of any random consonant. Doesn't matter, any consonant you want. What's a consonant, Zach? Yeah, continent, like Australia. Australia, New Zealand.

Wait, did you say continent? I thought you said continent. Like Africa or like S-T-R-L-N-E. Okay, yeah, one and the same. Continent. Am I stupid? And so basically, these three guys pick a letter and then to Andrew Schultz, he was like, all right,

so in this order, like this guy first, this guy second, this guy third, I want you to now make a word by filling in vowels, okay? And so that's kind of the setup. So he goes to the girl and he's like, out of anything you could have got from like this convenience store, where'd you pick? She says Fanta. Out of a bag, he pulls out a Fanta.

That's already just like, how of anything? You only had one thing in the bag. What if she chose something different than, you know, and she's of course like, I swear on my life, I don't know this guy, we didn't set this up. So then he asked Andrew Schultz, he's like, all right, what word did you come up with? Is it Fanta?

And he's like, no, it's not Fanta. And he's like, oh man, all right, well we'll just pour this out. And he goes, what word did you come up with? The letters were LGR. So he's like, Andrew, what word? He said, lager. He pours out the Fanta and it's like a beer.

It's a lager in the unopened Fanta. Bonus trick, if you rearrange Fanta with the three constants they chose, L, G, R, it spells out flagrant. Ah. It just keeps getting crazier and crazier. I mean, they're in there, they're just stunned. They don't see anything because they're just like, Andrew's just like, you guys could have picked any letters.

Why did you pick L? Why'd you pick G? Why'd you pick R in that order? Why'd you guys do this? And he's like, they're like, I don't know. Geez. If they picked anything else, it just they were like, I don't know. Geez. If they picked anything else that just doesn't work, I don't know. How does any of that stuff work? And unopened Fanta also, how do you get a beer in an unopened Fanta?

Yeah, you gotta know some people. Yeah. So that is what started, I'm gonna work in Branson someday. I wanna give that feeling to other people. If you're doing that, you should work in Vegas. You shouldn't go, Oh man. All right. Cause that's the next level or you can do it in Branson. Cause if you screw up every once in a while, people in Branson will be like,

there's grace, man. Grace abounds brother. Jesus saves. Yeah. Um, I've hung out with a few different, like pretty high, like, so Devin was like really good at magic and like into magic. But then there's other guy, Harris is his name. And he's like a professional magician, like pretty successful dude. And there's been a few times where I've seen magicians do things and I'm like, dude, that was pretty crazy. How'd they do that?

And both times I've ever asked any magician friends are like're like, magician's code, man, I can't. I know it's ridiculous, but like, I can't tell you how. He's like, I know exactly how to do that trick. I can't tell you. And I'm like, seriously, dude? I like that they take it seriously. It's like they're in the Marines or something. Yeah.

It's like, we can't talk about what happened overseas. Oh, I was at Silver Dollar City and Rick Smith Jr. Do you know who that is? Oh yeah, I've filmed with him before. Really? Of course, yeah. Card throwing guy. He was just at Silver Dollar City. Met him, super nice guy.

Wait, he was performing or he was just like riding rides? He was performing, yeah. And he guessed my mom's like street address when she was a child. Like she wrote it down. No, he wrote it down. And then I don't even remember. It was just so crazy. So obviously that's not something, he wrote it down. And then I don't even remember. It was just so crazy.

So obviously that's not something that he's like manufacturing. Right, because he doesn't know my mom. I know that because she's my mom. Okay, give us the context. Are you in a theater for this trick? Proper theater. Okay, he pulls your mom up out of the audience?

No, no, no. He goes to her. She's sitting down. He asks her questions from the stage. He writes numbers down, asks her questions from the stage. He writes numbers down Something something something and then she's like my address was something Arizona. Yeah, and it's he has a paper That's crazy. Is the trick just that he can write something as he turns over the paper He's just he's able to write with two fingers real quick

No, they have things that are like they go on your thumb Yeah And there's like a little like marker on the outside of it. So even though like you're holding something, like you could hold a notepad behind it, you are writing something. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like there, maybe there's stuff like that.

I don't know. It was like a full page. The numbers were massive. Like we watched him write it out. He was thinking and wrote it with his elbow. Imagine, yeah, you think you're being so sly like. He has a marker on his nose. You said outside of Mesa, Arizona.

Interesting. So he and your mom obviously was not in on it. No. Yeah. Yeah. Crazy. That's so fun. I got taken up on stage at a on a two four one time from Canna Cook at a Branson magic show. It's one of Catherine. And they put me in thumb cuffs. It was like the least cool thing to be a part of, not even real handcuffs, just my thumbs were in cuffs.

And he's like, try to get out of them. I'm like, I can't. Was like one of those like Chinese, whatever they call those things. Like the severance, you got finger traps. My thumbs were up, but then, you know, there's like a little thing between them. Like I can't get my thumbs out during these cuffs.

And then he put like a napkin over me. And when he pulled it off, the cuffs were out. How? I mean, I'm sure there's just some like unlocking mechanism. You just do really quickly. It was the least cool trick ever. I don't even know if people applauded. Yeah, Catherine got sawed in half one time in Branson.

Whoa. What? Yeah, still. I won't make any jokes. Still a little messed up. Yeah. Still a little messed up. Yeah.

Yeah, it's tough getting an insurance premium after they hear she's been sawed in half. Yeah, she got called up once. I mean, there was like a magic show, maybe the same magic show you went to on the strip. That's pretty cool. I thought you needed like an assistant, like in on it to get sawed in half.

Like they just like scrunch up. I think it's like a mirror or something. I don't know what it is. I'm not sure. I've talked to Catherine. I didn't know she was in the dark arts. She just looked. Yeah, exactly.

It was one of those things where it was like, we need, you know, an able-bodied woman. And there's six people out in the audience like, gotta be you. You're the only choice. Yeah. He probably was like, it needs to be the size of a girl to fit in the casket

or whatever. Whatever the thing is. Yeah. He's like doing an auction. 130 pounds or less. Okay. 120 pounds or less. Right here. Do I hear 125? I got told this weekend randomly that I shuffled cards. I shoveled cards one time and the guy goes, dude, do you do magic? shuffled cards, I shuffled cards one time and the guy goes, dude, do you do magic? And I go, no. He's like, you shuffle cards like a magician. I was like, that's a compliment, I think. You're like, yes, half of them are like up my sleeve,

but that's not, that's actually a trope. Most magicians don't actually use their sleeves. It's a random, like, did you magic? Oh, you shuffle those cards. That's such a funny compliment. Yeah, those are magic hands. Anything? Yeah.

Got that by the way, shuffled. Maybe that is what you start doing to people. Like I have a little bit of a far-fetched question, but really just compliment like, well, you just do that so well. Yeah. Whoa, did you like go to baking school? No?

Oh, this cake is awesome. Oh, wow. Well, it seems like you have strong hands because you need dough or something. I don't know. Gym membership. Big kneader. Oh baby, I love Main Street Roasters in my cup.

It's a good spontaneous voice memos. So I think we posted on our Instagram story 30 minutes ago, maybe. I don't know how long we've been recording this, but right before we recorded, Hey, send us some voice memos and we'll answer on the podcast. So we've done this. We've done voice memos a lot in the past. Haven't done them much recently. And we often will at least like one of us will kind of listen to one of the voice memos

to be like, okay, do we want to listen to this one or not? This one we're just going off the cuff. So if there's a one that we don't love, we'll just say, nah, what any of us can veto, Zach.

Hello, my name is Michaela Walton, and I just love you guys. Thank you. I'm at a teaching conference right now in Michigan, and on the way home, I'm going to go by NAPANY and go to Main Street Roasters. I think we should have Main Street Ghosty shirts made and then when you go you can also then sign the cutting board that someday maybe Brad will make and you

can wear your Main Street Ghosty shirt. Love you guys so much. Thanks for being the friends. I've never met And feel like I have friends Thanks, I just couldn't wait another I think yeah, nice. It's a more seconds. Okay. That's a fun idea Main Street gosters shirt I think we should partner. Yeah, Haley, if you're listening to this, we should partner up in like maybe upcharge another $5, but like if you wear this shirt, I don't know how you, I don't know, maybe I'm getting too,

this is classic Brad, getting too complicated. But I'm like, you know, you get a free drink when you wear this shirt to the, but if somebody local. Let's make it complicated. Let's make it complicated. Okay. We need to split the revenue somehow, okay? Yeah. If they wear the shirt on Monday, Wednesday. We need to split the revenue somehow, okay? Yeah.

If they wear the shirt on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, we get the revenue. Thank you. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, they can have the revenue. And so the revenue is just kind of in an escrow for a while until we. Yeah, some type of, okay. I think a banker.

Yes. We'll talk to a banker and they get a banker and get that loaned out. I really do love the idea of that. That's a sweet, you know, some kind of like wall or you know Yeah cutting board or something like small that they can pull out sign the board sign the ghost Yeah, cuz you kind of like make a pilgrimage people do that They like yeah, cuz it's not really on the way to many places but it's around, you know

Yeah, so 15 minutes from the Elkhart County Fair if you're going this year. Thanks for being a teacher and a ghostie Yeah, congrats on going to the conference. All right, Mariah Garrett. We love her. You know her What is up Jake Brett and time in this is Mariah Garrett I had a question for you guys. So if you had to partake in a karaoke contest What is a song that you think you could win the contest with? And I'm not talking about like tequila that it's just like one word.

No, it's like something that you are confident that you could rock it with. Have a great time recording, guys. I'm curious what hers is, because she can belt them. And she basically did win a karaoke contest in Branson this year. Her time informed. You were there. I was, that was a great time.

The first thing that came to mind, I've never thought about this before, because just like singing is just like, I don't do that, I'm not good at that, you know. I don't have daydreams about that. I daydream about magic. But if it was like, hey, take whatever skill you have and try to win a karaoke contest,

I would have to get the crowd involved and win the crowd over that way. So I think it would have to be, you ever see those old viral videos of John Bellion conducting the symphony while recording a pop song? I would be doing that, I think. I would try to think of a song where there's different octaves, different types of singers

and guy and girl parts to do that. And I would be like, all right, I'm gonna need some girls up here, I'm gonna need some guys up here and I would be like really doing nothing. I'd be the DJ Khaled of karaoke. But it's a memory that people would be like, that was awesome.

That was a production. That was so fun and like you're passing the mic, like they say this part, they say this part. I have a chorus. It would take some planning. I don't know what the song would be, but that's what I would do if I had to win a karaoke contest.

I would sing as little as possible. I would crowdsource my singing. I'm gonna look up karaoke songs just to get my juices flowing, because I don't know. Let's see here. Do you have any answers, Zachary? I think I don't really do a lot of karaoke, but the one time...

No, no, no. One time I went to my friend's family reunion. Don't know where I went, I'm not family. But they had a band and my friend's grandma, who owned the place we were at, told the band that I was going to sing with the band. Like it wasn't a, can this kid sing with you? It was just, he's going to sing with you. He's not part of the family Yeah. He's gonna sing with you. This is his make-a-wish. So

I sang House the Rising Sun at my friend's family reunion with a band. You know that song? No. It was great. So that'd be my answer. You wanna sing it? That felt good, like performing that. Oh, it was so terrifying, but it was fun. That song. Like the crowd was into it. They loved it. Right? You would know it. Like, there is a place in New Orleans. They call the rising sun. Yeah. Nothing's ringing a bell yet, but I bet I've heard it. I bet I've heard it.

It's a good song. Da-da. Because it's got some range and it's got some like, you can belt out some. That's a fun answer. See, I want to find an answer like that and I'm not, oh, you know what song I love is, what's the song that's like, feel the rain on your skin.

Unwritten. Dun dun dun dun dun dun. Maybe I'll do that one. That's a good one. I don't know, that's not, I don't know, I've never seen what wins a karaoke contest. Yeah, I don't know what the rubric is for don't know. I've never seen what wins a karaoke. Yeah. I don't know what the rubric is. Yeah. That's a fun question. Um, I, I now I'm ready to enter one. I've got more ideas now. I would try to choose an extremely like visual song.

And I would be doing the music video on stage. Okay. So I don't know what that song is exactly. Something like, um, what's the song from Mulan Swift Swift is a coursing river. I would be acting that out. Or even a little, not as appropriate as Mulan, but I would be acting out, it wasn't me by Shaggy. Something like that. That could win a crowd over depending on the clientele. What kind of bar are we at? Once again, anything but singing.

That's how I have to win this. Maybe Usher, yeah. Oh, yeah. I think I would ruin that song, if I put that on. No, I'm saying for me. Okay. I was like, no. I thought you were trying to think, like, that's kind of like an easier one.

I was like, no, I will still ruin it. Yeah. Smash Mouth All-Star. Really fun song. Doesn't take a lot of vocal chops. Yeah. That would be maybe a route I go down. I would just play the movie Shrek, I think. Dang, House of the Rising Sun's a fun answer.

Because that one you can show off, it's slow enough that it's good for karaoke probably, but it's also like, people would be cheering when you went up there in those high notes. That's a fun one. It's the one song I know on guitar. So, or one of the two I know on guitar. Oh really?

Okay. That's a fun question. That's a really good question. Yeah, it's really got me thinking. I would like to know, I would like to hear what other people say for that one. That's fun. No diggity is another fun one.

Sorry. Ready? I like the way you work. Who's this? No diggity. Yep. Jake and Brad, it's Selena from Ontario, Canada here. Just wanted to say hope your filming is going well today and wanted to thank you for all

of the laughs and entertainment you've provided over the past years and hope it continues on. Just yesterday, Mariah, my bestie Mariah and I were talking about how we were dying laughing from episode 440. The intro was just unmatched. So, so funny. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for this week's pod. Love y'all. Bye. I keep up the good work. Can't wait for this week's pod. Love y'all. Bye 440 pod. What do you that one? Let's see Zack. Look it up and give us hints hiccups from laughter At the beginning of it no, it's the intro um, oh we know all our intros by the title the episode Monday

Ghosties out there. Happy Monday, happy June, happy Pride Month. Hey, Pride Month episode. Oh, he's giving time and a hard time. Well, that's fun. Thanks, Selena. I'm glad you liked that. This next one's from Mitchell Bowser. Are these supposed to be questions?

No. Oh, just anything. Sometimes, sometimes they just, sometimes. Just want to tell some fun fact about what states have eight states bordering them Colorado yeah This what's for Mitchell Bowser, which is actually good. I have something to say to Mitchell Bowser

So I'll just instead of texting I'll just do it on podcast What's up boys? Oh miss you? I'm at work right now working as a barista. So give me like the dumbest combination of Flavors or coffee or whatever. I'll make it, I'll drink it, and I will tell you how it is. All right, bye. Wow. Ooh, fun.

Short to the point, I like that. While you guys think of that, let me just tell you a quick story. I was at Summer Moon last week, Major Roasters South. This is where they called me Jake, by the way. This is the same day, same interaction. And a guy comes up to me and he's like,

hey, do you make videos, whatever? We have actually like a 10 out of 10 interaction. He's this college kid, entrepreneur, we're bonding over so much. Like I'm loving this guy, should I get his number? Is that where? Anyway, I'm like, where are you called to do that? And he was like, oh, you've probably never heard of it.

It's Cedarville, Ohio. And I was like, okay, hold on. I know people from there. I said, this is gonna sound crazy. This is gonna be a crazy pool if I get it. But do you know Mitchell Bowser? He's like, ah, no, I don't. It's then I was like, okay, I'm getting it wrong.

I'll look it up later. That's where he is. Cedarville. Yeah, I nailed it. Alexis West works there. Yes, and my good friend from college, Ronnie Kruis. Ronnie Kruis, yeah. Arcade. Cedarville. Yeah, I nailed it. Alexis West works there. Yes, and my good friend from college, Ronnie Kruis. Ronnie Kruis, yeah. Arcade.

Cedarville. I was so proud of myself for knowing that about Mitchell and then I was let down by this guy not knowing him. That is a bummer. All that to say, what's your answer? Yeah, I was looking at some different flavors here. Zach, think of your favorite, or think of a syrup that you can.

Let's build this together. Yeah, let's exactly. I've been enjoying some lavender lattes from McLean's recently. So I'm going to throw some lavender syrup. That's going to be my pump. So what goes ridiculously poorly with lavender? Is that what we're trying to do? We're trying to make something ridiculous.

I don't know. Lavender and peach. No, I don't know. Lavender is nice, dude. I don't know. Lavender's nice, dude. I don't blame you for that one. Lavender's kind of, yeah. It's a fun little drink. Maybe some salted caramel and lavender.

That sounds good. Let's start from the top. Let's start from the top. Forget I said lavender. Lavender's kind of like blue jeans, man. They kind of work. All right, from the top. Okay.

I want to do sweet, like the, what's it called? Like the sweet cream. Okay. We're going to do that like the, what's it called? Like the sweet cream. Okay. We're going to do that on bottom. Oh, sweet cream base. Sweet cream base. Yeah. All right.

You add the next layer. Okay. And then we'll just go with a, we'll just go with water. Hot water. Hot water. Hot water. Hot water. Hot water.

Hot water. Zach, next layer. Can I add the juice? Yes. Of course. Orange juice. Orange juice. Okay. Orange juice. Naturally on top. Next layer. Can I add the juice? Yes, of course. Orange juice. Orange juice. Okay, orange juice.

Naturally on top. Next layer, one shot of espresso. Perfect. It's a coffee drink. Next layer, three more shots of espresso. Oh, okay, quad shot, quad shot. Well no, it's one and then three. One and three, yeah, it's different.

One plus three, okay, I'm sorry. Ristretto on mine. Right, after that, we'll take jalapeno catealps chips on top. I don't hate the idea of throwing some soggy food in there. Okay. Let's, let's do, yeah. Any kind of crunch. Whatever you have available.

Yeah. Maybe some crushed nuts, some cashews. Yeah. Wouldn't, yeah. Wouldn't be surprised if they threw a can't you in there one point and then we're gonna go a combination of syrups mint lavender and Sugar free vanilla. Yeah, just in case you don't want to go overboard and then what kind of we need a drizzle on top Peanut butter You know what, you deserve it.

Like kind of dump out like a fresh cinnamon roll, like kind of the top of its drizzle. Dump that on the top of your coffee. That'd be kind of nice, a little treat, because the rest of it's not gonna taste that great. Yeah, don't get to the bottom, just stay up top. Stay up top, buddy. Stop at the kettle cooked chips.

So something like that. Okay, honestly though, if the orange juice wasn't in there, I don't know if it'd be awful. It's like a watered down. But then again, maybe you want to water down because there's four shots of Americano is just watered down espresso. And you got the sweet cream. If you give that a shake.

Yeah, that's a that's drink is just fine. That's a nine out of 10. Yeah, the orange juice and potentially the kettle corn chips. Good job, Zach. That's a nine out of ten. Yeah the orange juice and potentially the kettle corn chips I had something called like oh They tried to make a pun on mustache with pistachios. I forget what it was called the stash attack Maybe or something like that pistachio or wait. That's what it already is You could call it like the mustache. You combine the words. Yeah I had it it was like it was good whatever it was it was like mocha espresso like thing with like

cold pistachio cold foam it was nice nice in Lexington, Kentucky. Shout out. In Lexington, Kentucky. Also though, like 8.50 for this thing. And I was like, well, that's a ridiculous thing. All right, this next one from Braden Parsons. Classic. We love Braden Parsons. He texted me a couple days ago. He said, I'm living your,

I'm living a Jake Trippett lifestyle right now. He said, I'm in Kauai eating an acai bowl and about to go play pickleball. Wow. What's up boys? I'm on a morning hike here in Kauai right now. And I got a question for you. Maybe you've talked about this before.

I don't know. It seems like it's something right up your alley, but if you're a professional baseball player, what's your walkup song gonna be? For me, I think I'm gonna go The Beginning of Numb by by Lincoln Park. Hear me out Beginning of numb by Lincoln Park the entire game Then we get to the ninth inning games on the line

Runners on base got a chance to walk off What's that changing up the song now? It's numb on core Probably strike out, but anyway, I think it'd be a pretty hype strike out. That's great. When he said numb, I was like, you gotta go numb encore. That's so great, yeah, you build up to it. Do do do do do do do do do.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. Thank you, thank you, you're far too kind. Far too kind. Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. Now I'm adding. Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. Number nine. Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. Braeden Parsons. You're out of there.

That's a great, great question. the K, you get a free tote bag. Yeah. I can imagine it. You can imagine. That's a great, great question.

Great answer, Braden. Let's see. Mine would be all Oli Pop solo from Sound of Music. I am 16 going on the, yeah. I take care. Also, Brad, you sent me a time in an audio file. Did you mean to send that to my friend, Zach? Nope, just, you're the closest one to it for drag and drop.

So, Tymon, you can listen to it too if you want, brother. No, well, doesn't Zach need to play it on his computer? Oh yeah, I guess you're right. I was thinking you could play it on your phone like you were doing the other one. Oh, oh, all right, hey. I can't, sorry. My walk-up song.

Oh, I like. Hey, I can't. My walk-up song. I like the song Power, the Jay-Z remix with Kanye for Power. Uh-huh. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey You got pancakes on your plate. Oh yeah. Is that the pancake one? That's a fun one. There's a really fun song guys for the Christians out there. 90s Christians called jumping in the house of God. That song slaps.

So maybe I just do that one. Zach, can you try and find that and just play it just four seconds of jumping in the house? Jump. When did we listen to that recently? Was it on the pod? I think so. Okay. Either way. But either way, we need to hear it again. Maybe, maybe outro. Jumping in the house of God by Worldwide Message Tribe. Yep. Yep. Jumping in the house of God. Jumping in the house. Jumping in the house of God. Boom. Boom. Boom, boom.

That was four. Yeah, dude, that would be lit, dude. I mean, people would get up on their feet every single time and that's what you want. Like you wanna be a fun player where people are like, I like it when he comes up. I don't know what I would pick. I think ultimately I would pick something hype and fun.

It's got a little base to it, but there is part of me that wants to pick, like you raise me up. Something that's like ironically like, oh, this is, yes, this is a good song. Kind of a girly like song. Yeah, but it is still empowering. Bum, bum, bum, let's go girls.

That's what Springfield Cardinals would always do that for like the other team. Okay, to give them walk-up songs, you know. That's funny. So quirky. I was browsing through like this copyright free library the other day, just editing something. And I found a song that was like,

Scott is going to love this. Not only is it EDM and it's super like house music upbeat, but there's only like two words in the whole song and it's este noche. It's like, Scott's just gonna love it. And so yeah, for his birthday, I'm just gonna send him that song. Love that, este noche.

All right, I'll play the one that you texted me from this mysterious Abby who has your phone number. Hey Jake, Brad, Family Man, Tyman, how are you guys? My name's Abby, I live in Utah. I have been listening to the podcast since 2019 and it's wow, my favorite thing in the world. I love it. Awesome. I am a mom to a little one year old. And my question for you guys is what is something that you said you would never do as a dad slash husband that now you do as a mom, I would always watch my nieces and nephews

and be like, oh, I'll never do that as a mom. Example, give him lots of sugar. And now I do it. So it's easy to say from an outsider perspective, you guys are amazing, seriously a joy and blessing in my life. So see ya. First impression, iMessage says this is so much better job with audio quality

than Instagram does. That was like she was in the room with us. I think it's the, that platform versus the recorder. Yeah, I think so. I think so. I think, I think, brother. First one is homeschooling. I never, I was like, we're not homeschooling.

Yeah, you fought about it on your engagement night. 100%. Yeah, before we got engaged, I was like, I'm about to propose to you and maybe I shouldn't. And we don't even agree on how to educate our kids. Yeah, 100%. I don't know. There's not a single thing about parenting

that I am like so staunch about just because I'm like, it's such a massive change in your life. And like, I don't have any like strong opinions. Like I don't judge anyone for, if I see a toddler watching the iPad on the flight, I don't judge. I hear a toddler screaming in public, I don't judge. You know, it's just like,

I don't know what it's gonna be like. So I don't care what you do. As a husband, I wonder, there's gotta be some things. I'm guessing I was probably like, I don't care what, I'm not giving up pizza rolls, I love pizza rolls. And I guess in a way she's manipulated me into thinking it was my decision to give up pizza rolls.

Yeah, you've changed quite a bit. The diet has changed, I ate a lot. I eat a lot of green beans and broccoli now. But you're saying you didn't necessarily say like, I'll never, I'll never eat broccoli. Yeah, it wasn't that I wouldn't eat those things, it was like, I'll always eat pizza rolls. They taste amazing't that I wouldn't eat those things. It was like, I'll always eat pizza rolls. They taste amazing, but I don't really eat pizza rolls.

Yeah, I don't know. That's the only one I can think of off the top of my head. I feel like there's times where I'm like, oh, well, let me think. Something along the line, I've more of marriage than with kids, but I've said things that I've watched men say on sitcoms before and been like, what an idiot.

Why would you say something like that to your wife? And I say it out of emotion or whatever. It's like, oh my gosh, I can't believe I said that. It's usually some kind of selfishness or like, yeah, just without thinking, why'd you say that kind of thing? I can't think of a specific example. Yeah, I know kind of the genre you're going for.

Like foot in your mouth, just like, oh, what? What were you thinking by saying that? What did you think was going to happen? Or whatever. It's a really good question, but I don't have any really good answers. That spontaneous voicemail. That's what I was.

That's spontaneous voicemail. Also, I'm pretty new in a marriage, so my time will come. Oh, yeah. All right. All right. all right, scrolling back down. Oh, Kirstie Swicks it one, gotta listen to this. Hi, my name's Coby, and when is more pancake crumbs coming up? When's it coming out again? Yeah, when's more fluffy pancake crumbs? Say fluffy pancake crumbs five times fast. Oh Mr. Brad, we want some more. We want some more. We want some more. Okay, that it?

Yeah. Love you. Love you. Love you. I bet I get asked from my own kids. Really? Five times a week, can we listen to more Fuffy Pancake Club?

I'm like, I gotta record it. You're a rock star. You're ahead. And then they just wanna listen to the same episode over and over again. Can we at least listen to Sideways Sammy? I'm like, not at dinner. All right. We're not doing that. Dude, you're onto something. That's fine. I do. I, I need to. Yeah. No,

no excuses. Just haven't done it. Have you and will continue to record your little secret boys podcast? I know, dude. That's I, I'm so appreciative of you, Jake, because like, it's kind of on me right now of like just post it and it's like Whatever reason that that side of me. I don't I don't enjoy that little Existing I don't like if I don't have any accountability like let's say my own personal Instagram story I post 10% of what I plan on posting because I don't know I just lose Momentum I know what is that about? It's not like, it's like, you have the idea. Oh yeah. That'd be great. It's literally like,

we have it recorded and all I have to do is like, I, and I granted, I don't know how to do all the RSS stuff yet. Like, I know I could figure that out in 20 minutes. Yeah. It's just like, anyway, so we've recorded four episodes. We, we keep having a hard time, finding time to get together and whatever, but He's in the yoga studio guys like me and him But uh, no, we're still yeah, we're still doing it so um fluffy pancake fluffy pancake That was that was one of the things I did one time

Hey, if you say, no, go ahead. Hi, y'all. This is Hannah out in Indianapolis, Indiana. Hannah and Indiana. Go Pacers. I wanted to leave a voicemail just saying how much I love this podcast. Been following it for a while. Already left my five-star review many years ago and then left lots of comments.

But just wanted to say how much recently this has felt like my news podcast. It's so- Really? Probably not recommended to take y'all's advice as fact and as news, but the Taiwan episode, the China episode. Oh yeah. I feel like I was like in that office episode where I'm like oh wow that's interesting and I'm just like learning so much anyway um but

love what y'all are doing I I guess I want to put it on you guys too what is like your non-news news source does that make sense you following. Bye, love y'all. That was really sweet. Hannah in Indiana. Thanks. You rooting for the Pacers at this point? They're three, two as we're recording. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Four seed against like the clear favorite.

Got to root for the underdog. Oh yeah. That's when she gets her news from us. After we answer her question, we should give her an update on some current events. Dude. She's doing news. Okay.

I've been pretty successfully bricked recently. And so I really am not consuming anything like that, which is so honestly like- Is it nice? Yeah, like I know that there's stuff going on that I should probably know and have opinions on and whatever, but man, is it nice just being like, I don't know.

I don't know what any of that's, what's going on with that, so. And let me encourage that, because I think nowadays you almost get like, I see people get criticized, they call it like, you know, burying your head in the sand. Right. I think that's biologically probably how we were supposed to live.

We were never supposed to know what is going on everywhere all over the world. For 7,000 years, we didn't. And then just the last like 20 years, it's like, yeah, you have access to everything. So learn it all. Is that what we're supposed to be doing? Should we know everything? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. I don't think it doesn't seem like knowing it. Yeah. I don't know. This is an interesting conversation. Cause it's like, it doesn't seem like knowing everything solves the problems. Therefore, should we just not,

intentionally not know everything? Or should we try to be learning things? But like, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, pretty nuanced, but either way. Yeah. I'm pretty out of touch too. I do listen to a sports podcast

that sometimes they mention things. Like I'm learning about Bill Belichick and his girlfriend on there. Oh sure. So I know that hot goss there. Yeah Try to think of other hot goss that I've learned from there, I don't know You know something I think about I always hear I always see like protests and rallies happen after the fact Like this past week there was a yes, I heard protests

I think it was called the no Kings Rally, the No Kings protest. Seemed like pretty popular. A lot of major cities had major protests, but I'm also like, I'm online, I'm on the internet. I never heard about this. Not feeding you the No Kings. Yeah, I was like, why didn't I get invited? You're like, I'll go to the One King protest.

Yeah, no, but I wonder if other people feel that way too. It's like, I always just hear about the rallies no matter what it's about. I don't care if it's right, left, black, anything. I'm always finding out after it happened. I'm like, what are you guys tuned into where you know where people are gonna rally? Is this a separate website?

I don't know. The guys in Tennessee had, they mentioned that the day before. They're like, yeah, they're planning on doing 2,000 different rallies. Oh, so they knew. Somebody did. I don't remember which one, but somebody was watching Newsmax. So what is Newsmax? Oh, it's just super right wing. Like Fox News on crack basically. Um, is it, is that Newsmax

or is it? Yeah. I think it's the one that Mike, Mike Gundy, he had a shirt one time that said Newsmax. So I was like, oh my God. Another way I get my news sometimes is through commercials while watching the NBA finals. Love Island's coming back. The whole new twist. Yeah, I hear the Survivor season 50 cast is crazy. Yeah, sometimes it's the Facebook group. The Facebook group.

Yeah, anybody, there's something about Psych coming up, I think. Anyone else counting down the days? And then Catherine, everyone's well, Catherine Facebook the Facebook group. Yeah, anybody there's something about psych coming up. I think anyone else counting down the days And then Katherine everyone's well Katherine will tell me something. Yeah, she's kind of tuned in she's tuned in but Yeah, I don't know not too much Yeah Five minutes before correct opinions episode Trey tells me a couple things like oh cool. Okay, sounds good. Yeah, I haven't seen that or heard about it. Alrighty. I like to talk about it.

This was funny from the road trip with Isaac, is he would give me some news actually now and think about it. He'd be like, what did he say? He's like, yeah did you hear the, he's like looking on his Instagram feed. The penny's gonna be out of circulation soon. And I was like, oh interesting.

Now that's fun. And then I just learned like he must be getting fed a lot of stuff like this because he's like scrolling through again He's like it's actually pretty it's better for you to not sleep as much according to this thing And then I then like the next like five things he read on his algorithm were like things that like these headline Instagram posts that were basically encouraging bad behavior It was like it was like time alone by yourself for

24 hours a day actually is shown to like improve. Yeah. Or like decreasing anxiety, all these different things. I'm like, I don't know. Biting your fingernails is a sign that you are a creative genius or something like all these different things. I'm like, I think these people are just enabling you to do bad things. That's interesting. Yeah. What was he doing? Was he scrolling Instagram? Where's he getting all this? Yeah. And then I think once he's looked at a few of them, then of course they're keep feeding. Yeah. Cause it's like the same format or whatever. But anyway, anyway, so that's another part of my news is Isaac McDonald. Apparently the penny is getting

getting gone. Okay. Goodbye. Penny. So Rachel's home, there's news. That's fun. Hi Rach. Zach, for this next ad read we're gonna do about Good Ranchers. Okay. I want to sing House of the Rising Sun with you. Okay. Go ahead, start.

Hi Jake, Brad, and Tymon. My name is Krista, I'm from Albany, New York. The other day, my husband and I, we were playing pickleball

and we brought our Friday pickleball paddles and we happened to see someone else there with a Friday pickleball paddle. And we were just wondering what you guys think the percentage of people are who are ghosties that also have Friday Pickleball paddles. Anyways, love the podcast. I kept my husband entertained and laughing while he was going through chemo last year.

So thank you for that. Anyways, bye. Wow. Thanks. This is Krista Farurugio. She nailed that. How many people, I mean, if you're a ghostie and you don't have a pickleball paddle for Friday, I don't know if you're a ghostie.

Yeah, I've never thought about that before. We're not gonna officially kick you out? What are you doing with a- I don't wanna see it or hear about it. With an onyx, is that one? With a, Selkirk, more like a grosskirk. Yeah. So. That's good.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess I never thought about that. But if you're, if you listen to the podcast and you play pickleball, I don't know, 80% probably use a Friday? I have no idea. I don't know if, it depends on how invested they are in us, but like, if I already had a pickleball paddle,

I probably wouldn't have upgraded, or not, you know, I wouldn't have bought another one, which would have been an upgrade to yours. You know what I mean? Like, I wouldn't have upgraded or not. I wouldn't have bought another one, which would have been an upgrade to yours. You know what I mean? I wouldn't have bought another paddle unless you were like, hey, we're about to go under. Can you put that paddle? 80s high.

Let's go between 50 and 65. Yeah. Pickleball's growing, though. It's a growing sport. I don't know if you get that. Is it? Yeah. So but there's a lot of new people

buying your paddle for the first time. Really? Yeah, so but there's a lot of new people buying your paddle for the first time really so you Samuel sins, uh, you know Discount code if you want All right, uh Come on one more. I hope what was that that chemo thing? intensive information Is that the only reason she didn't say like oh, yeah, I don't know I mean, I said on the story that we were going to like share these on the podcast.

Okay, and hopefully he's doing okay. She would have mentioned No, hopefully he's doing okay. Yes Okay, this is from this is from felicit Felicitas farms felicitas farms. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how to pronounce it, but I like it Hi, jake and brad. Um. This is a local KC girl. Whoa Just so you know, I'm not psycho for sending this voice message You just posted on Instagram that you're recording an episode and to send a voice message. I just want to Preface that

My question is I have a neighbor who has a cherry tree and they have not picked a single cherry off the cherry tree and I want to know if it would be weird for me to knock on their door and ask them if I can pick the cherries on their cherry tree? And if, let's say they didn't answer, if I left a message on their ring camera,

if that would be weird, just let me know. And would it be weird if after I did that, I go back tonight to try again and knock on their door to ask them if I can pick their cherries Just just curious Yeah, good question. This feels like such a Rachel and Katherine question to like why aren't our neighbors picking their yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, Katherine said that about some flowers that our neighbors had our neighbor died And then his daughter moved in or whatever and yeah These flowers are just beautiful when they bloom and then they just die because

Man, I would love to have that. I don't know what they are hydrangeas. I don't know But it looks like Felicitas farms. I'm looking on her Instagram here. She's a flower flower gal So I think you need to exchange goods at this point You need to bring over some flowers and say hey far off right some flowers Would you like for me to pick your cherries and eat them all myself? Yeah. I don't think it's weird to ask. Why not? I don't think you should do it.

Did she say one of the options was just go over there? Oh yeah. I think that's fine. You think with her not. Oh, sorry. I meant like, yeah, knocking. Yeah. I don't think you need permission.

A ring doorbell message. I think you'd leave a note. Yes. Anybody that's not picking their cherry. Well, then again, I was going to say like they're older, but maybe they're not older if they're not picking them. That's like the highlight of the year. Probably if they're older.

Oh, they love that cherries around. Rachel brought home some cherries last week. They're good. You know, I don't want them wasting cherries. How do you say that's her favorite? One of her two favorite fruits. I can't remember. My favorite pop tart flavor.

In case anyone asks. It's the same same thing thing real cherries in there Yeah, that's that's good. I think I think we answered that's good. Yeah, but I would go to ask I And I would yet give them some of these flowers you got they're beautiful flowers farm blog Fun okay. Well, thanks for the voicemail. It's got a fun. Absolutely got crazy of us pretty wacky As we wrap this episode up, I just got one PSA at everyone out there I got I Said last Sunday. I went to lifetime Rachel. I hung out by the pool for hours. I started the book

I had a great time. I was in the shade the whole time, so I didn't put sunscreen on. Thank you. You know, you're welcome. Thank you for the PSA. Here's the PSA. I got home and my torso was so pink, and I was so confused how that happened. My best guess is that the umbrella at the pool

doesn't totally block the sun. I didn't know that was possible. I started looking into it afterwards. It's like, oh yeah, very common for poolside umbrellas, especially if they're light colored, they don't block all UV light. I was like, what? You're in the shade, but you're still getting burned a little?

Yeah, so I was in the shade for hours, so pale, so just vulnerable for the plucking from the sun for hours thinking I'm in the shade when apparently I'm not totally in the shade. Interesting. So I got sunburned. I've been rubbing aloe all over me the last couple of days. So PSA.

You can get sunburned. You can get sunburned in the shade. Every mom listening to this is like, oh, of course. My mom was probably like, I've told you this before, but I don't remember knowing that. No, I didn't. I don't think that's common knowledge. It was insane. If you're a mom thinking that, you quit it. I, I've told you this before, but I don't remember knowing that. No, I don't think that's common knowledge. It was insane.

If you're a mom thinking that, you quit it. I think I've annoyed Rachel half and I bring it up. I'm just like, that's so crazy. I got some burn the shade. Yeah. I just said insane. That's not how the world works. Probably more common knowledge than that.

Cause I didn't know that, but like you can get some burn even when it's cloudy outside. Now that makes sense. Okay. And then you can get someburned through a window. Is that true? Oh yeah, truckers. I know, I've heard that.

Like the left side of their face or their arm. It's like wrinklier. You get sunburned in Australia. I've heard that. Yeah, I've heard that too. Ozone layer. That's a big one. You can get sunburned when it's sunny out.

Yeah. When it's hot and sunny. Yeah. Yeah, Isaac got real burned this weekend. Isaac needs to take care of his skin more. I'm gonna be Isaac's mom. Okay. The dude loves getting sunburned.

Does he? I do too. I didn't put on any either. Why don't you guys do that? Isaac never. It's annoying to do and then you sweat and you get into your eyes. That's so fun.

Being sunburned is really annoying. Well, to be fair, it was like, if I knew, I didn't get very sunburned. I don't know how Isaac got more sunburned is really annoying. Well, to be fair, it was like, if I knew, I didn't get very sunburned. I don't know how Isaac got more sunburned than me. How does that work? He doesn't wear hats. No, I didn't wear my hat either.

First day. You guys are weird. I don't know, man. You went golfing with no hat? First day! What's that mean? Means second and third day I wore hats. With how I am on the first day of golf trips?

I got to get my bearings. The bill gets in my way. You know how I get his first day, dude. Didn't know these guys didn't know if they were hat guys. Yeah. Have you ever noticed how anti accessory Isaac is? He doesn't wear sunglasses. He doesn't wear hats and no sunscreen, no sunglasses.

Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. He's never been a hat guy. You've never been a hat guy until recently, I feel like. Well, Big Chill 92. I liked hats. You did? I like hats.

OK, OK. Rachel's the one who doesn't like hats. She's like, you have nice hair. Don't ever. We need to get rid of all our hats. Go bald from the hats. Well, sometimes it's messy. I can still get sunburn through my hat, Rachel, I promise.

Yeah, if it's cloudy and I'm under an umbrella. That's a good PSA. This is somewhat adjacent PSA. You are not allowed to complain slash comment about how many text messages that are unread on your phone unless you have double digit different threads and triple digit unread messages. Does that make sense?

In other words, I hate it when people are like, oh my gosh, I have 84 unread messages. It's like, yeah, you were in a group chat that went off for an hour while you were gone. You think doesn't count? No, not even close. Not even close. I mean, whatever.

It's like, oh, I got to catch up on that. But it's like, people love to be like, I have so many unread messages. Unless they're from 10 different groups or 10 different people, and at least 100 unread. Don't talk to me. I made my icons bigger so you could see. What do you think of that? I don't know, because I don't know how many, how many have only information. If that's one group chat that you just have neglected, You don't have all the information. If that's one group chat that you just have neglected, maybe it is.

It's 478 messages. 478 unread right now. One group chat. No way. No. This is life, man. That's what I'm saying, that's valid then. Dad, I can talk to people about that.

I'm gonna say, yeah, you are valid. Good PSA. Okay, I just, I get fired up by that. Zach, do you have any PSAs?A's anything to get off your chest? When you're driving yeah, and and you're coming to a stop sign I just say be careful Yeah, that's good. That's good. Yeah, that's what that's all I've got. I just say be careful I always say I grew up saying be careful. Yeah. Yeah. Well, especially when you're coming to a stop sign Yeah, you just never know just be careful

Careful be careful another random thought relatable or not it Does your phone do you ever like Do you ever stink so bad at? Texting that sometimes your phone just seems like it gives up for a second on auto correct. I swear there's some type of input you can do where it just like turns off auto correct. Yes.

It happens like once every like 11 days. Yes. Like what have I done to deserve this? I spoke pickleball PICCL and you don't, you have no idea what that could be. Right. And, but then it goes back almost immediately. Like the next time you're back in, you're like, no problem. It's like everyone's like, I'm out to lunch.

I'll be right back. I'm back in 10 minutes. Yeah, use voice if you need to. All right, I'm going to Google momentarily. Do you feel this, Zach? Do you know what we're talking about? Yeah. It happens to me on Facebook more than anything.

Really? Yeah, 100%, yeah. It happens to me on Facebook more than anything. Really? Yeah. I mean, this is saying, yeah, you can temporarily disable auto-correct, go to settings, general, keyboard. Now, it's not what's happening. No, it's not what we're asking. There's something happening where I entered in an input. It really is just like I annoyed it.

It's like, all right, we're gonna keep doing this. I needed to get my, give me a break. Let me lay my head above water and I'll come back in five minutes. Yeah, it's just like I annoyed it. It's like, all right, we're gonna keep doing this. I need to get my, give me a break. Let me lay my head above water and I'll come back in five minutes. Yeah, it's just like. I know exactly what you're talking about. It's like, I've done enough for you. Appreciate what I've done and use the squiggly lines

and we'll get back to you later. Dude, I'll tell you it's eye opening though. You go through a couple of texts, raw dogging it with no auto-correct. You're like, I don't spell anything right. Oh, when you had to add in a new contact, it's like, I gotta be careful. Yeah.

Yeah. Tell you what's also scary, Adobe Premiere, the whole time, I've been using Adobe Premiere for 10 years, no auto-correct. You have to spell everything right. That's psychotic. Yeah. Why?

Good thing, fourth grade champ. I don't know, that seems like an easy thing to implement. Do they underline? No squiggly, you don't know if you spelled it wrong. It's cause of adloram ipsum. Yeah, who is that? Yeah, none of that's spelled right. And they count that as words.

Yeah, I had to double check. I think I spelled the word unnecessary on a video recently. That's a tough one. That's tricky. For whatever reason, certain words like, where do I put the double? Millennium. Because it would be two S's, one C. Yeah, two N's.

One C, two S's, one C. Yeah? Yeah, two N's. One C, two S. At this point we could just spell it probably. So like, you at the beginning. One Y. A Y at the end. E at one point, A at one point. There's actually two E's. Anyway you want.

Yeah, like my authority on Pickleball? 29. Out of 30? I don't know. I'm still learning. I wonder if that means, like, because we don't know. I'm still learning. I wonder if that means that because we don't have blogs on our site about how to like the instruction of Pickable.

Maybe that would go up if we did something like that. Maybe your rating is 30. Out of 30? Nope. I'm not sure what it's out of. What is the rating based on? I have no idea. Your backlinks are pretty good.

You have 607 backlinks. Good. Out of 30? No, it's just the numbers. Yeah, it's just a number Don't be ridiculous on this podcast. Yeah, so okay. You're doing pretty good.

And now it's like, oh, AI can do that pretty differently. But this could be the new kind of like frontier learning how to advertise things for people. So that's fun.

Cool man. PSA, good PSA. Go market. PSA, SEO. Zach, if you had to start a business tomorrow, what would it be? Digital marketing. No, no, no.

Oh. Let's say you're selling a product or service, but you are having to advertise it via digital marketing outlets. Okay, what would I sell? What is the good or service? Good or service go to sir good or service? That's Brad's camera

Could I I think I would be in acquisitions, I think I would buy companies I would sell you would you start out tomorrow Where is this coming from? I would take this dude. We got mark Cuban over here coming from. I would take out a loan. We got Mark Cuban over here. I would take out a really big loan. I don't know, probably just buy a multi-million dollar company. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. I go to my bank.

I go to my small local bank. I was thinking like landscaping. This is way better. No, no, no. Horrible overhead. Because you have a horrible overhead. But you have experience landscaping. The overhead is horrible.

Compared to acquisitions? Probably. I'm not sure. All you got to do is hit it once, Jake. Come on. So I go out and I buy a company. I go buy a landscaping company. And then I improve it.

I make it bigger. And then I sell it for 1,000% profit. This guy's been watching some Gary Vandercheek. You can buy in if you want. I'll give you 30% stake for $250 million. Take it, dude. Take it now. That's not going to last. 30% out of 30 or?

30% out of 100. I'll have to check the syrup. Yeah. I'll let you know. Get back to your syrup and let me know. Acquisitions. Yeah. It'd be cool to say you work in acquisitions.

Yeah. Because people do that. They don't say, I do acquisitions. They say, I work in, like the acquisitions are kind of surrounding them. I low-key hate when people do, like I'm in blank. It's like, I don't wanna, tell me what you do then. Yeah, I don't say I'm in pickleball. I'm in comedy.

Yeah, if you say like, I'm in the e-comm space, it's like, okay. All right, well, you know my follow-up question is gonna be what do you do? Yeah. Right. You're like, you're adding a purgatory to getting to know you. Yeah, I'm with you there.

Because maybe it's boring, like I'm in product development, I'm a barista. I'm in pharmaceutical sales, it's like, all right. I'm a drug dealer. Yeah, if they say I'm in pharmaceutical sales. Cool, where are you from? You got siblings? Cool, what kind of hobbies? drug dealer. Yeah. If they say I'm in pharmaceutical sales, you would cool. Where are you from? You got siblings? Cool. What kind of hobbies? Cool. Yeah. Good PSA. Is it hard to start a pharmaceutical company in America? They

practically buy you out. I don't know what that means. Uh, we don't need to talk about it. No, I don't know. Yes. No. Probably not. Zach could talk to somebody about it. He could acquire that. I'll figure out it and then I'll get back to you. Please, let us know.

I will, yeah. Let us know. All right, should we do comments and wins of the week? Yeah. Zach, you don't have to have a comment, but it would be fun if you had a win of the week. Something that encourage you this week. I really liked Erica Lefevre's comment

on our Monday episode of last week. Oh, what did she say this time? She said, there are no words to describe how much I love this podcast, incredible every time. Oh yeah, did you see that I posted that to our story? Daddy's bricked. D's bead. Yep, that's so sweet.

Yeah, I saw that comment so much that I screenshotted it, posted it to our story. That means a lot. We will never get tired of hearing that. Amen. Danny Parkhurst, I got, actually pause, a lot of good feedback from our, we did Mind the G the gap the trivia thing

Who was it? Devin Colson texted me and said I would listen to that every single week Like if you did a trivia podcast, he said the way you guys did it was really good I was like we talked about that before we have we can then we will But Danny Perkers from that episode said I'm yelling out answers while I groom dogs over here This is the best episode yet. It has guest spots, sound effects, games, and great improv. I've literally doubled over laughing to like cry. Wow.

Danny Parker's, Danny Parker's used to be like, common to everywhere, and then she took a hiatus for a little bit, maybe the Lord told her. Maybe grooming dogs. I don't know, and now she's back, better never. Thank you, Danny, appreciate it. That's, I love hearing stuff like that, that like, I don't know, just like, we are cranking out episodes

so often I don't stop to think, I wonder if that was someone's favorite episode ever. So it's really cool when we find out it was someone's favorite episode. Yes. That's awesome. All right, now for wins of the week. Zach, do you have a win of the week?

Win of the week, let's see. Do you need to think about it and we can come back to you? I'll just, I could say, can I just say yesterday? Yesterday was a pretty good day. What happened? I got to sleep in. I slept until like 9.45 yesterday. And then I went over to Tymon's place, the apartment. Did some work.

Played some pickleball. Watched a movie. How to Train Your Dragon. It was actually very good. Tymon didn't love it. The new one? The new one. The new one. You had a live action. I thought it was really good.

I liked it. And then we just hung out, got dinner. It was a good day. That's a great day. It was a great day. Yeah. I almost beat him in pickleball. 10 to 12.

You'll get there. You guys play a lot of singles? No. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Good day. Good day.

Brad, do you have a one of the week? Yeah, my one of the week. I mean, mainly just this Tennessee trip, but specifically just being friends with Jensen, man. He's just a great dude. He's just a super intentional, loving, caring guy that loves to like boost up his friends. Like the whole time he's like, you know, I meet this guy, James. He loves the word legend. He's like, James is a legend, dude. You know, and then you meet his dad, dude, this guy right here, Jeff Harper, legend. He just, he would. And so then he says nice things about me. And I'm like, dude, you're the person that everyone should be saying all the, you're freaking legend. So, uh, just thankful for, yeah, him. He talked about how like, so we met, I met Jensen when he came on the ghosty getaway, you know, and, uh talked about how like, so we met,

I met Jensen when he came on the ghosty getaway, and he's like, I don't really know what it caused me. Like I didn't, I listened to your podcast, but like, I wasn't like some super fan. Like I just decided- He was the lowest fan there. He's like, I just felt like the Lord was telling me to go. And so I went and now, you know,

we're sitting in this Airbnb together and I'm like, that's just crazy. Like just how it all worked out. So just thankful for that time with him, with Isaac and, and then even just coming home and just coming home refreshed, like be better dad and husband and stuff. So good times. That's fun. I'm going to double win if that's a permission to go double win. Yeah. $100,000. And and then right before they got $700

What? Yeah, I mean, yeah to pick up all termins in a row time. Yeah on a fun calf catch on. Yeah, what's on time? I didn't even mean to Time would have known I'll pretend. Oh man. One is that Rachel and I, aside from our like actually golfing double date, we went on another double date this week with Calvin and Molly Beck, continued good candles, went putt putting and it was just like fun.

It rained on us. We stood out there in the rain. Molly slipped and fell, but before she fell, her shoe squeaked like a Scooby Doo amount of time. Just like a cartoon length of like squeaking. And then finally fell. That was incredible. That was so funny.

You would have lost your mind. Yes. So yeah, we had a good time with them. That's when I saw Zach and Culver's. And then bonus win. It just, I feel like more than ever, the culmination of all the hard work with Friday is like, yes, summer's here, but also just like our views are better

than they've ever been. Our sales are better than they've ever been. It's like, yes, this is like, this is why you do things for a long period of time that you could hopefully like seize like some good fruit from it. So we're on pace for like our biggest month ever when there's not really anything that crazy going on this month.

It's like, yes, Father's Day, but we released the fever last month, you know? So it's just like, this is cool. It's just working. We're building something and it's going on this month. It's like, yes, Father's Day, but we released the fever last month. So it's just like, this is cool. It's just working. We're building something and it's going well right now. So I just had an idea and you did it well and it's working. Yes, we keep showing up and keep being consistent, whether it's videos, products, ads, whatever,

digital marketing, serps. Getting into that? Getting into it. What do you mean by that? I'm just getting into it. Just like really enjoying it. Diving into it on a somewhat deeper level. Yeah. So yeah, just feeling a lot of gratitude towards Friday. Going well. That's awesome. Thanks. Any final words? PSA is maybe stoplights or

no, I'm just thinking about Zach singing House of the Rising Sun. How awesome that would be. I would love it, dude. Someday, some Branson, or some ghosty event, we do in Branson or whatever. We'll get Zach up there rocking. I'll try and find the video. Someone recorded like little 13 year old May singing it. So.

Oh, you were 13? I was pretty young. It was a couple of years ago. Okay, if you find it. Your friend's mom was like, hey, he's gonna sing with the band. He's 13. If you find it and yeah, friend's mom was like, hey, he's gonna sing with the band. He's 13. If you find it and yeah,

it's not too late to put it in post. It'd be fun to do a little outro to House of the Rising Sun. That'd be great. Last thing I thought of while we have you, Zach, do you know that Zach's about to like fly to France by himself for two weeks? Yeah.
