Happy Monday ghosties gonna be another great episode. We've got another guest producer on the show This man happens to be cousins with the producer of last week. Yes, he doesn't have an appendix and I just learned the guy is Smooth in the water swimming give it up for Sam Henniger everybody Yeah! Alright. Smooth, baby. Oh. Yeah, pretty good swimmer. Yeah?

Not bad. Learned this week. Tell me more. What do you all learn about him? We were at the lake this weekend together. Yes. Just me and Sam. Yep.

Boys weekend. No, there was a crew of like, what, eight of us, ten of us, and the people were hosting and were like, we're gonna do some games throughout the weekend. And so, you know, your classic games were doing a little pickleball in the driveway egg toss. Oh, OK. Don't know the rest. But one of them was like, hey, swim around the buoy and back like couples versus couples.

And both of our wives, I will say, had interesting approaches. Rachel chose to do the breaststroke, which is not one of the faster strokes. No, we came in. Well, we came in second to last. The people who did come in last were with Sam and his wife who chose to use a floating. She also wore a hat and didn't go underwater.

So the only one to wear a hat. Yes. So how what was the that's great. So how, what was the, that's great. What was the, what's the word discrepancy? Like how much different was the team that won? Like how much effort were they putting in compared? Like did Ashland look like a jerk for like being at like this other person's got like a swim cap and goggles on just beating her by 15 minutes or was it like pretty close? I mean the people who won were very fast and I

think they were going to win regardless but was it their idea to do this thing? No it wasn't. It seems like it though. Yeah I was mildly disappointed I'll be honest. I will say because Sam might have been the fastest swimmer there. He happened to be paired with the girl in the hat and the floatie though, but took it well. He claimed that they were first in the hat division. There you go. So that was good. But yeah, fun like we can,

we could talk more about it later. But Sam, first question, we always ask our guests this question. What type of jeans did you wear when you were 12 years old? Oh no. Oh man. I wore Wranglers, whichever one had the biggest amount of room in the thigh and waist. I was a portly kid. Portly, yeah. And yeah, so I had to wear adult jeans most of my kid life

Did you get him hemmed like yeah, they were I mean it was like a size 34 like yeah 26 Yeah, I mean like close close to being like it was like a 10-inch inseam. It would have been like sure. Yeah Jinko jeans. Yeah, wasn't that the story? This is where I was getting that. Didn't you tell the story? Like you were wearing like your dad's jean shorts as your jeans or something like that. Like that's what you were at school or something. So we went to, um, like our friends like farm for the weekend or something like that.

We're driving back to Kansas city and, and this is like 2002 maybe or something. And so I'm big and round and our friend like calls my dad, my dad has the phone on speaker and he's like, hey, I think you left some of your jeans, like there's a size like 34 in like the back bedroom or whatever. My dad was like, oh no, those are Sam's jeans. And I literally hear our friend goes,

Sam wears a size 34. Nothing wrong, nothing wrong with it baby, come on. I knew that couldn't have been right. Something's up. Oh, that's amazing. Anyway, well thanks for being here man. It's funny, I know Sam is one of five people in his family. And I bet I know Sam, the fourth best out of those five.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, I know you. We've hung out a few times. Yeah. But I know your little brother really well. And I know your parents really well. It's kind of funny being like, I know your sister a little bit. But like, you know, his first cousin. Well, oh, I know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to start a chain. Every producer from now on is the first cousin well, oh, I know yeah, yeah, yeah, we're gonna start a chain every

No, but you need to I've heard about I've heard stories uncle Bob He's a legend. Yeah, he just retired For he was like making like jets like fighter jets or something like that Maybe privately like in his backyard. No like a hobbyist Scrap metal this dude just fine. Trust me But he just retired we have our we have our fantasy football draft next weekend So it's like all the uncles and cousins and everything

I've heard stories about this basic football draft too. Sorry. I hang out with will all the time. So I know what do you know about? Uncle Bob. Well, I don't remember that much about uncle Bob. I remember he is he single guy like or like no, he's not single He's kind of a spirit though. Yo very much. So yeah. Yeah. I mean like hair, you know like down to here It's just him and his wife, they've been married for however long and they raise like border colleagues on the side. So, I mean just endless content. Sorry, you said fantasy football draft

and that made me, so I love your dad. Your dad's one of my favorite people in the world. He's also like, he's just got a very distinct voice that's very fun to like imitate and like joke about. And like he's an intense guy. And so I think there's just so many funny things. But I heard the story about like your dad's just old school guy in general. And I heard the story about the fantasy football draft one time. You guys were all sitting there getting ready to do it.

And you know, and it's like it's it's 20, 25. So therefore it's a fancy full draft online And like two minutes before it starts he pulls out like what his is like you know cheat sheet papers. That's it He's like what are you guys doing on your phones? You know everyone computers down. We're about to start the draft That's what will told me at least that kind of story yeah, yeah, I mean the first year We had it it was my dad and Will's dad, Billy, and they didn't have, I don't even know, one of them might not have even had like a computer, period, but showed up ready to roll, you know? Like some analog version of the draft.

So good, dude. Uh-oh, ooh I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet, cause this is the Ghost from the Spot Cam. Ghost from the Spot Cam. There among the morning, we're taking round

Ghost from the Spot Cam. Ghost from the Spot Cam. So Bob's in the fantasy. Yeah. Bob and Billy share a team. And he doesn't have much of a role in it, but he's there. He's represented. Yeah. Yeah. For the border collies.

So good, dude. That's fun. Brad, what's going on in your world? How was your week? Nothing really. No, I'm just kidding. Week was... Did anything happen? Something happened, Jake. I was gonna say I was knee deep and I was like,

I might have been more than knee deep. Go for it. I might have been thigh deep. Okay, yeah. I saw the floaty on with my hat, but I was quad deep in there. By the way, the name of these floaties was called Whale Tail. No. Weird name? Yes. Yes. All right, go on. A thousand percent. I was quad deep in there dude by the way the name of these floaties where it's called whale tail no weird name Yes, yes, all right go on a thousand percent. Yeah weird

Is it an adult floaty Sam's wife asked me Jake passed me my whale tail, and you're like I don't think I'm allowed to do that. No. I'm gonna go home. Yeah, no, thank you in a weird position And it was only one whale tail. It's not whale tails. Yeah, it's just the one. My whale tail is like a specific like basically like upside down life jacket kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah.

Kind of like diaper style. Okay. Yeah. Interesting. Well, brand. We'll get a sponsor. Oh, my week. Okay.

Yeah, just crazy. So long. Whale tail deep. I'm whale Oh, my week. Okay. Yeah, I was just crazy. So long- Whale tail deep. I'm whale tail deep on this. Yeah. I kind of mentioned very offhandedly at the end of last Wednesday's episode

when Will filled in for us. Initially it was gonna be Catherine. We're trying to figure out that logistic. And I'm like, yeah, Catherine was trying to but our kids just haven't been feeling well. And so she just didn't feel right. Turns out one of the one of like so Henry had had a little bit of a fever Rosie had a little bit of a fever like this Was back in like fourth of July time so and then Bo finally got a fever and so we just thought like oh Bo's going through the same sickness, whatever and then

He wasn't getting over it nearly as quickly He was really the thargic and like there was one time where they were going to play uno and they dealt out the cards And by the time they dealt out the cards, he was like i'm just going to go lay down and watch Gosh, so it's like it's like yeah really quickly like lethargic and so and are you guys at this point? Are you like oh come on? It's summertime get out there and play or you like no he's like sick. Something's wrong with him I don't know. I think it's hard to tell because Bo is notorious He has learned that when you're sick you get to watch Paw Patrol and so he has Learned how to milk that pretty well like you know I think I hate too much kind of watch a couple episodes of Paw Patrol

It's like no, dude, you know whatever And so I don't know I don't know if we were like initially feeling like oh This is definitely worse, but like it felt like okay. He's just kind of being a little whiny. He kept saying his stomach hurt Turned and then he's been all of a sudden. He was like my hip hurts. I'm like that's weird Maybe it's cuz you're lying down all day like maybe you need to be moving around some more Yeah, and then it was like he couldn't sleep because he was in such pain So it's like we got to take him really want to see Paw Paw Patrol He's like Paw Patrol, please. That's all I want. It's like half asleep. Like one episode I can't I mean he was groaning like it was like, okay

We need to take him to the urgent care the next morning so Thursday morning we take him to the urgent care and long story short they do like an ultrasound CT scan and After doing those things they realize like no something's wrong with his appendix. He needs to have like he has appendicitis. He needs to get it removed. And so takes an ambulance from urgent care to the hospital, which, you know, I, and Catherine, of course, whatever we both played our parts, but she's the rock star and all this because she was with Bo the whole time I come for like the last 20 minutes before he goes to the hospital.

Catherine's amazing. And right before the hospital, he, right before going to the ambulance, our church, like Sam Seavers, which is our good friend, children's pastor, and then two other guys, Wyatt McDonald, Clayton Roburn, just huge shout of them. They came to the urgent care and prayed over Bo, which was just, made me cry. It made Catherine, it was just like a sweet, classic like Bo though, like Wyatt's like, hey Bo, do you mind if I pray for you before you leave?

And he goes, I don't want you to pray for me. It's like classic, like, you know, this is a sweet moment. He's like, no, no, thank you. Do you have to? Can you just do it on the ride home? He's gonna pray for you, Bo, just let it happen, man. Why do you think he said no? I think he was maybe just a little bit uncomfortable or like embarrassed or I don't he's gonna pray for you both just let it happen man. Why do you think you said no? I think he was maybe just a little bit uncomfortable or like embarrassed or I don't know Yeah, like don't I'm already in a hospital bed new environment. Don't make he was literally at this point

He was in the stretcher like getting ready to go into the like so like they caught him right at the right time But anyway, I don't know how he's just like that sometimes crazy that little Bo was on a stretcher in the back of an ambulance. Correct. Yeah, it was wild. Were you in the ambulance? Catherine was. So they went in the ambulance and I went back to be with the rest of the kids. And so Catherine was back there with them. He thought it was really fun in hindsight. You know, like, oh, it's cool. Anyway, long story short, gets to the hospital like one, doesn't have surgery till like, I don't know, nine 30, nine o'clock,

whatever, a long time. Turns out his appendix had ruptured. And so like, it makes it way more complicated. Makes them have to stay in the hospital instead of like one day. He had to stay in the hospital for, I think it was four days total. Um, and yeah, so it's just been a whirlwind of a week, like just schedule wise of like, OK, you might we've had so many great friends and family. It was actually really funny.

Catherine, she's like, on my find my friends, as you tell you this, like, you know, all these friends that like all your best friends are your find my friends friends. And so she's like, all my friends comically on the same weekend were all out of town. Like, you know, we're out whale tailing. Yep.

I know the duck were through out of town. Your parents were out of town. Yep. I think, uh, Harrison and Abby were out of town, maybe, you know, like, uh, you know, and so luckily I had my, my aunt Cindy and my sister and whatever, all these different people just were so helpful, uh, military Bob and his family, whatever. Uh, but anyway, it's just been a whirlwind of a time.

So Bo got home Monday. It was a sweet reunion. He's back and everything's good now, but it's still going to take him like a couple of weeks. So I truly recover from all of it. Like, and to like, whatever, you can, you can make fun of me for this in hindsight. I'm an idiot. I thought, I don't know. I don't know. I think I probably was too light-hearted about most of this experience I'm like the doctor over there doing it's fine like once he's out of the hospital were good and so he said he wanted to I came to like Like leave the hospital with him and Catherine and he said he wanted to ride in my car

And so like as we're leaving I'm like Bo let's go celebrate that you're leaving the hospital with ice cream cones And I texted Catherine was like we're getting ice cream cones She's like, please don't do that. Like he's not supposed to have any sugar It's only gonna take him a long time to recover. He needs to rest and so I literally after like Ordering him an ice cream cone giving it to him like three licks into it. I had to be like Sorry, buddy. I need to take that ice cream cone back Luckily he was like, I think he

didn't have any appetite. He was in the hospital. I know. He didn't have any ice cream cone. He didn't have any appetite. It's like he grew up like three years at the hospital. Like he was just like, OK, I

understand. If that's what you think is best. And if that's what the medical professionals say. I respect you as my father. So thank you. Thank you for having that authority over me, Dad.

He did go, OK, that's all right. We can just freeze it for later. And I was like, that's smart. I don't think so. So then I had to eat both my ice cream cone and his ice cream cone in front of him. Yes. You're going to go, oh, this hurts me. Trust me, buddy. I don't want this either. It was kind of a sad, I mean, he didn't care. Truly. He didn't care a sad. I mean, he didn't care. Truly, he didn't care at all. I mean, he was just happy to be in my car and listen to baseball songs with me. But and weren't there more things that you tried to get him to do that he wasn't

allowed to? Oh, OK. So then, like in the hospital, I'm just like, buddy, you know, I'm just trying to be the hype man. Like, buddy, we're going to go home. You did it. I can't wait to play baseball with you and we get home. And Catherine, the nurse were there and they're like, oh, Bo, can't wait to play baseball with you when we get home and Catherine the nurse were there and they're like oh Bo are you allowed to

play baseball he's like no and they're like for how long he's goes never and they're like no no for 14 days play for 14 days I'm all done yeah a lot to play baseball he's not allowed to wrestle which a few times he's initiated and I've had to say bo-bo-bo and he go last night he tried to wrestle me he's not allowed to play baseball. He's not allowed to wrestle which a few times he's initiated and I've had to say bo Bo Bo and he go last night. He tried to wrestle me. He's like, oh, that's right He's like, how about I just hit you and I'm like, no, thank you. I don't want to smack me Anyway, but it's it makes you thankful for you know, the normalcy and the help that you have when you have it because it's just Like looking back it's like oh man. I just like still he's not himself completely it's like I'm ready for him to be himself

again but anyway we're thankful we're thankful for the doctors and could have been a lot worse I think so it's glad that we took him in when we did you know they have to have stitches uh I don't think so they they did it laparoscopically you guys know that word oh no it's now okay so what I understand is that's basically they do the whole surgery through the belly button. So they enter in through the belly button. Maybe it's the test stitches. I'm sorry if he does.

I could be wrong. He definitely has some like starey strip things that are supposed to come off eventually, but like, you know, they go through his belly button and then they just like do all this stuff in there and just take it out. It's wild. And just no appendix, no problem? I guess not. He doesn't need like medication to do what the appendix would do? My friend who's a doctor said something about like the appendix, we kind of, excuse me for this word Christians, we kind of evolved to not need, like modern, modern-day humans don't

need appendices. They don't think as much as really what are the old ones? Well, the old humans need them for I don't know. That's good question. Thanks. It's it's just a tiny little thing in there Yeah, so honestly haven't done enough research on I don't even know like what caused it I don't know how many like I think it's pretty uncommon for somebody that young to have this happen to them So wait, how old five years old? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I feel like I've heard people like even at church people Oh, yeah, that happened to us. You know my 12 year old my what happened to me last year I was 32 and it sucked. Okay. Yeah wrestling when I was eight You did. Yeah. Well, you were a hefty eight. You're a portly

Was really like a 12 or 13. You're like on that reading level and that gene size. I had, I had mine burst at Silver Dollar City. Yours burst too? Yeah. Dude. Yeah. Tell me. Well, I was in obviously just excruciating pain. Yeah. And I, and I kept telling my parents like, you know, something's wrong Yeah, and they thought it was me Like eating too much taffy So so I walked around Silver Dollar City

fire in the hole For like an afternoon and a half and then like threw up everywhere and they took me to the hospital Really? It was an afternoon and a half. Oh, it was like a long time. Yeah, I powered through. Wow. But it hurt.

There are some hills at Silverdar City. Yeah, hot concrete. It was brutal. You're like buckled into a roller coaster. Like I was in the mechanics. Yeah, like just jostling you. You're going backwards on thunderation. Oh, it hurts.

Dude. Well, yeah, like, were you crying and groaning or like just like kind of a whiny kid? I wasn't that whiny. I don't think but it certainly like came in waves. Yeah, but the way like when it was coming. I mean, it was, it was brutal. Yeah, dude. It wasn't until you threw up your parents like, all right, maybe he's like, there's maybe maybe it's not the taffy or the Bosco sticks. It's something else

I'm not saying yeah Yeah, what would both it's him's day would be like Linda. I think he's fine Linda he just needs to power through give him some water. He's had too much of that darn taffy Linda That's not a very good. I'm trying to. That's not a very good, that's not my best. Dude, I'm trying to think of who that sounds like. Yeah, that's somebody else more than, yeah. Yeah. I got to interact with Bo yesterday. Yeah. It was fun.

Right when I was really walking out of my front door. Sam, do you know that we're like, Brad lives like right here? No. Yeah, Brad lives like two doors down. Oh wow. Kind of fun. But as I'm-

Go in that spot in between us, baby. come on over. Yeah, don't tempt us as I'm walking out of the door your whole family's there and Anyway, they had come down because Hattie She's begun some solo bike rides That was one of the big things Thursday when I took her when when Catherine went to the urgent care of the bow She goes can I do a loop by myself and I said do it? I didn't I watched her leave our house and then I just let her go yeah solo bike ride yeah that's a fun stage it is it's also like a big

like oh okay yeah just gotta hope that she's okay for 15 minutes and then she comes back you know she always does she always does but yeah on her loop yesterday she saw a dead possum in front of my house and she's pretty into it. There's the talk of the town. Yeah. She's like, I got to show everybody else that's dead possum. And so they were on their way over to do their, I guess, the science part of home school yesterday and it was fun. You know, Catherine got to explain how he was like, there's some poop coming out of it.

Catherine was like, that's not poop. We'll do an intestines lesson later today. I'll tell you guys what that is. Bo, you probably know about it. Yeah, right. But I don't know why this cracked me up so much, but you had come over at this point, but I was actually drinking this, like this like poppy,

and Catherine, somebody asked me, what is this? I was like, oh, it's so good. It's like kind of healthy for you, and it tastes amazing. I was like, here Catherine, have something. And then Hattie's like, can I have some? Like, yeah, it's so good, have some. Bo's like, can I have some? I'm like, yeah, it's amazing.

And Bo's like, okay. Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug. Yeah, it's so good have some bozak have some I'm like yeah, it's amazing and bozak. Okay There's two different types of kids there's there's one kid that's like hey like You understand you have to say a word to him like they'll just have a sip That's how I try it then there's the other kid and it's that's Bo and Rosie that will not stop until Four seconds after you tell them to stop That's enough. That's enough. You're good. You're good like It was just so funny cuz on one day cuz then Catherine's like, oh my god, Bo Bo stop stop And I was like, no, I was what I got him excited. I told was it gets so good

You have to try it. But yeah, that was so funny. was like thinking about it later in the day, but we try something. Okay That was funny and then also there is this like freshly dead possum we're all hanging out 15 feet from it and You know you're in your car like should I run it over and Hattie's like no no no of course not Rosie should run it over no no no okay run over Bo should run it over? No, no, no. Okay, I'm gonna run over. Bo, should I run it over? He's like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't for the record.

It's just so funny. I don't know why that just fits, but yeah, Bo's like, yeah, of course you should run over this possum. Uh, doy. Yeah. It'd be awesome. It's like, thank you, Bo. I missed you, man.

Good to have you back. At the hospital, he had this playroom down at the end of his hall he's on the children's wing obviously and so and they had some Nintendo switches there kind of cool they had all sorts of like toys and stuff but then they had video games I was like I for one of my shifts I was at the hospital like we're gonna go down there he needed to practice walking and stuff anyway we went down there we played Super Smash Bros. Which question number one, first of all, you definitely have played.

Of course you played, right, Sam? Is it crazy to think that Catherine has never... Let me see if I wrote down if she's heard of it or played it. Never played it, I think is fine. Never played it. Say in your psycho, she's never played it. I think that's fine. Do you think Ashnid's ever played Super Smash Bros psycho. She's never played it. I think that's fine Do you think Ashens ever played super smash bros?

Yeah, I bet she has really yeah, I doubt Rachel's ever played you think yeah Even with brothers, I think she would be like no. I don't want to play that She didn't even seem like she understood the concept of the game. She's like so which one's the bad guy I was like no you can just you can choose any person you want to play and you just fight the other people like where? When's the campaign guy I was like no you can just you can choose any person you want to play and you just fight The other people like where wins the campaign fight Mario. Yeah Pikachu you know like it's like yeah, who's your character choice? I've always been a Kirby guy. Yeah, I like Kirby Yeah, it's hard to stop that brick. It is You just you're never out of it You know that's what I like I love that aspect

This time though I played with I think I play with link. Oh, no, I played with I don't know I think Bo played with anyway Bo was terrible Of course at it and then he wanted to play he wanted to be Bowser and super or a Mario Kart. That's fun Also struggle with that. I think he played Mario Kart once before on a Wii and so he kept trying to turn the Controls on this switch wasn't working. And so he was trying to turn the controls on this switch. Wasn't working and so he was just going to the wall the whole time. And then you remember that thing in Super Mario or Mario Kart where it's like the thing where he lifts you up and takes you back.

That was his favorite part. Like, oh, like, thank you for fishing me out. And like, so it's crazy to think that those games are best on GameCube. Yes, because they're best on in 64. GameCube. Yeah, how old are you? You're 31 to 32. So you're two. Well, I guess you're 33. Yep. So you're two years younger than me. One year younger than Jake. Good. I don't know, dude. Did you ever play on in 64? Mario Kart? Yes. I don't know if I ever smashed on in 64 I do like the GameCube version as well the GameCube though. They had that weird

What was that that yellow? joystick thing I know what game that is Right It's also funny thinking about in 64. There was a whole handle that never got you. Also true. Waste of space. It's wild that they had three handles. Yeah, literally impossible to do. Yeah, it's so funny they did that.

I like the shape of their controller. I mean, it looked cool, but like it really have two hands. That is so like like people don't talk about that enough of like. Yeah, you're right. They just wasted. And everyone just kind of accepted it. Everyone's like, yeah, you just don't use the D pad. Yeah, and it wasn't like a lot of games featured the d-pad No, you just didn't use it. No no d-pad Yeah, it's too bad. They figured out by the time ps2 and Xbox rolled around they kind of figured out how human hands work

Yeah, had that pretty dialed in yeah, but I don't know. I I don't like the switch the game. Sorry You got a switch version now Has too many characters. There's too many like people you've never heard of Too many like two and a solutions of Pikachu. It's like I don't even know what this thing is. Yeah Yeah, some of the trainer. There's like Mario Luigi, and then there's like a third or fourth guy in there Yeah, all these I got I don't even remember because it's like I don't know the master probably ash What's his name? Catch him. Yeah.

Is he in there? Yeah, Luke Catcham's in there. Luke Catcham. So anyway, that was fun to play with that. And then he's really into Captain America right now. That's his big thing. So we got these Captain America. There's like Marvel stories that he was really excited about.

Got all these Legos. But then got this Captain America toy toy like action figure to take home Which he was really pumped about he probably didn't really mind it then you got to ride an ambulance and yeah It was really like driving him home. I was like, you know It was I don't know It's hard to describe like it was like he's like grown up a little bit or like maybe just doesn't have the same Guard up as normal or like the same goofiness. He just talked to me like a normal conversation Really which is not always like him like sometimes it's like we're being more funny or whatever. But

I was like, did you like being in the hospital? Or maybe he didn't even, I didn't even ask that. I think he just said it actually wasn't that bad. He's like, you know, you got to watch a lot of shows, you got to sleep a lot and you got to meet some fun new people. And I was like, who are you? So I'm like, okay, he's doing all right. Wow. See, I haven't been on Bo that much, but just in a little time I've been around Hattie recently, I feel like she is growing up on like 1.25 speed. Like how you could do it with Spotify.

Yes. Hattie's got some setting going on right now. It seems like she's taller than she used to be. Like, yeah, she does. She's starting to like dress like kind of cool Yeah, a little bit like just more like a camp counselor. Yeah looking like Riding her bike. Yeah, thanks so reading Nancy Drew Doing just fine grow you up quick

That'll mature you so Anyway, that's cool. Yeah, you had a crazy week. Yeah, yeah. I was like scared to text you ever. I was like, I have no idea what's going on in their lives right now. This is probably insane. That's the beauty of the hospital. That's the beauty of the world we live in, though, is like text any time. Just don't expect the text back any time.

Right. You know what I mean? Like call me. I'd be like, hey, man, what's up, dude? Just have a quick question. It's like, yeah, is your washer top loading or front loading. I can't remember I can't remember trying to just like figure out what kind of like if you want a shelf above it You know if you had any recommendations for that I Won't call about that. Yeah, no, it's been it's been good Okay, it's time for a little ad read

Yeah, hey, don't skip it though, don't skip it. No, let's make it really funny. Let's make it really funny and memorable. Yep. You're not gonna believe this thing we say in three, two, one. Sam, where were you born? Oklahoma. See, you guys didn't see that coming, did you?

Really? And I'm trying to remember, is that Oklahoma China, Oklahoma Brazil, Oklahoma Australia? No, that's Oklahoma America. And correct me if I'm wrong, there's farmers in Oklahoma, right? Plenty. Plenty!

Oh, plenty! Wow. Plenty? Plenty? Any? Let me ask you this, Brad, would you rather us support those farmers or kill them and let them starve? Oh, tough decision.

Psych, it's not at all. Support those bad boys. Yeah, that's why you don't skip. Yes. So you get answers to hard-aiding questions. Yeah, when you support us by supporting good ranchers, hang with me here. You're supporting American farmers too.

Now, slow down, Jake. Slow down. Yep, so. Explain it a little bit more for us bud. All right. I don't quite get it. At the top of the funnel you have listening to Ghostrunners podcast. Okay. One step down you have support. Okay. Looking around support who, support whom, support when, support... You still with us Sam?

I'm following. Okay, I lost myself a little bit. Support good ranchers. Okay. Right underneath that, you have supporting American ranchers and farmers. Okay. And then what's this? I'm at the bottom of the funnel now.

Who's this? They look familiar. Oh, they're my nuclear family of five. Oh, okay. Good. I'm supporting them too, is what I'm trying to say. I know it's tricky, I know it's a lot. I got it, but you could support, yeah, I know it's a lot. I got it.

But you could support, yeah, keep the sun out of your eyes. Keep looking. You could support all those things at once by just eating what you're already eating. That kind of sounds a little bit like an MLM when I say it that way. Just do what you're already doing, but just do it with us.

Yeah. And it gets, it's more convenient to just deliver right to your door. But it is, it's the is, it's a similar offering. You're gonna eat meat either way. Why don't you have meat that's organic and doesn't have nasty crud in it, if I may say that word.

You may. Crud being antibiotics, added hormones, seed oils. Good Ranchers has got it all, plus the convenience of it, of it just being shipped right to your door. Real nice, real convenient, and maybe best part, when you use the promo code GRKC, you're gonna get a free add-on for life.

Yes, and $40 off. And $40 off, whoa! I'd take one or the other. Throw that in the funnel. One, I have both. So, oh, what's that, see at the very bottom? Oh, it's Good Ranchers holding up democracy? Oh, baby!

GoodRangers.com, American meat delivered. Well, Sam and I had a nice little time at the lake just us two of course did little boating We I I did have a funny moment this comes up every now and then like You know, I have this character. I used to play when we would make all these videos It's like sheltered kid character just like based on reality, but it like Kind of came up this weekend like an unfortunate way, and it started with Sam. So he is bringing a cooler onto the dock,

like, hey, got some drinks. The cooler needs them, we got DCs and NA's. And so in my head, I'm like, oh, Sam's playing a fun little game where he wants us to guess what these drinks are. And so I'm like, all right, DCs is Diet Coke. And he's like, yeah. and then I begin to like out loud Brainstorm what I think in a stands for you're just being like fun bubbly guy. I thought he wouldn't have fun

I'm trying to have fun It's I spend two to three minutes brainstorming what in a could possibly stand for never figure it out I have to ask and then it this is the embarrassing part. It's not to like 30 minutes later that I realize I have to ask. And then this is the embarrassing part. It's not till like 30 minutes later that I realize everyone else there knows what it stands for. And they were just listening to me brainstorm solo. Okay, can we pause real quick?

Madison McCullough, make a poll of this right now. Everyone pause before Jake tells what NA means and say, yes, I know what this means or no, I don't. Cause I think, I don't think's going to be 50-50. I think it's going to be 35-65, though, that I think most people will know. But still, I think there's going to be people coming to your fence for this.

It was like nine out of 10 on this specific doc this day. Like, oh, you nine all went to real colleges. I did not go to a real college. I don't know what you're talking about. I mean, I'm like, Paul, I'm like, New Amsterdam? Could it be vodka? Could it be Diet Coke and vodka that you have having the cooler. That's a that's very bad. No, Sam Ashland likes diet coke and vodkas

Actually, which is the worst drink ever made I have I've never heard of that even being a thing Yeah, it might be exclusive to her. Okay, but look she's into she swims in hats. I would yeah to her okay look she's into she swims in hats I would yeah but anyway that was embarrassing and so then later were oh it stands for non-alcoholic okay I know that beer I didn't know that but it was college you're referring to beer specifically not just like in a is being yeah it was like the North America athletic brew or whatever okay yeah Oh that was a known term I think if I may Non alcoholic beer is ridiculous Wow

You like them? I do I guess if you if you're packing I just I Think well Maybe not maybe I should take this back now and think about because I'm not ever trying to get drunk drinking beer. But at the same time, it just feels like, well, if you're I don't know, you need a little something in there, but maybe not. You're really I don't think I've ever had alcohol beer now that I'm thinking about it. I like it because it's not just another coke and it's not, you know, a water. Yeah, they're generally like 30 calories. Are they water. Yeah, they're generally like 30 calories are they really yeah, they're less yeah, okay relatively you know

Healthy quote-unquote. Yeah, I think it's just a good alternative I mean to be fair taste I think I've had a sip of Odools once so like I I still I don't know if I like the taste of beer enough, but then again, I'm not trying to get drunk So why am I ever drinking beer? This is how I've been since I've been 16 years. Yeah Cuz I'm yeah, cuz I guess I think I didn't realize there's only 30 calories cuz I'm always like beer is a hundred some calories Oh, yeah, it's all that alcohol. The calories is alcohol. Maybe the hops we couldn't figure it out There are no scientists or anything, but it does beg a question Yeah, why is it come from? Yeah?

Interesting cuz that's the other thing I've always been bothered by with beer is that they never Like have they don't have to have nutrition facts on there. How do they get away? I don't know Oh, they don't not unlike the individual cam more recently. They were like have started like marketing like hey It's only has 30 calories in it but i don't think it's a requirement like there's definitely not like the classic like daily you know nutrition facts thing on there they have like the warnings like hey don't drink these when you're pregnant or whatever like all that stuff operating a forklift anyway so in a's yeah so that got me that was kind of embarrassing were they making fun of you or were they pretty

kind about no everyone is extremely nice you know they're so nice i'm like man they're so Anyway, so in a's. Yeah, so that got me. That was kind of embarrassing. Were they making fun of you or were they pretty kind? No, everyone is extremely nice. You know, they're so nice. I'm like, man, they're so yeah, they're so supportive. How little I know. Oh, man, that's too bad. Fast forward probably like an hour. Now we're on the front of the boat.

And now it's just me, Sam and Ashlyn. And I'm, you know, I'm recounting what I would have done differently. I'm like, man, that's brutal that everyone knew that I just I was like That's what you know That's what I get for being an SP you like you guys are probably all better at cornhole than I am you've gone tailgating you guys all play cup pong and Beer pong he did say cup pong that was unbelievable I'm like trying to recover

Just go deeper down cup pong they like cause Mean beer pong what are you talking about cup pong might be less you being sheltered and more about you Doing like YouTube videos long enough with like people that are doing clean YouTube videos I don't know what we're playing cup pong today a cup pong trick shot. Yeah. Yeah, they all just start making fun of me And I'm dying laughing. I'm like, what is wrong? No, not cup pong, I mean, Flippy Bear. I mean.

What is wrong with me? I said, it sounds like I know the iPod Touch game version of what a real activity is. It's like, yeah, you've never played, but you've been on Amazon trying to potentially buy it as a set. Yeah, large. How do I do this?

And they're like, cup pong set. Okay, yeah. Yeah, so I had some sheltered moments it as a set yeah how do I do this and they're like uh the cup pong set okay yeah yeah so I had some sheltered moments on the on the lake this weekend that's kind of funny you got a good showing though overall overall yeah I still they gave me a B plus okay we all get grades for each other and so yeah all right did you guys win the the competition was it you and Rachel or was it yeah it was me and Rachel okay we, we did. We did all right.

You took a ball. I know it's going to shock some people, but also great. The egg toss to the egg toss was unbelievable. I think we might need to enter some like local or maybe some state level competitions and egg toss. Rachel was throwing overhand. Yeah, she caught one of mine overhand.

Maybe. Yeah, maybe we need to do this in Gold Shores, because I feel very confident about my egg toss abilities. You better tossing or catching. Catching really soft hands. I think I have very soft hands and I think thank you and I put a bounty. 50 bucks. Anybody beats us and egg toss.

I don't know. I feel really good about your performance, too. Oh, yeah, I'm 90th percentile worldwide I The one yeah, you've you've researched this I Would get a little bit of a struggle going straight at some point when it's too long of a distance say that again like if I'm throwing the egg, I think at one point I kind of overthink it and instead of throwing it straight towards you I'm I yeah, I veer off about 15 degrees, but you'll catch that Yeah, just give me enough height and I can get under it How easy is it to break an egg by the way before we put too many pounds?

We were playing grass if we're playing insane on the beach don't even catch it go all day Yeah, I have a hard time sometimes cracking an egg when I make them. Yeah. Yeah. I have to hit them a few times. We feed our chickens oyster shells to make their shell less easy to break. Oh, I've heard of this.

Yeah, that's another thing. We are playing with Sam and Ashley's eggs. Yeah. They're chickens eggs. That's a mildly offensive. Yeah. I was going gonna say those are like some Some good eggs. Yeah, forget. We would have used the store-bought one Did they have store-bought ones? Yeah, the first morning they did I didn't even realize that that's so funny. I got some yeah That's so store-bought ones some in a's

Yes, you have a chicken coop we just didn't use any of your eggs we just broke them Tell me more about the chicken coop the origin of the chicken coop So I know you guys are in the city like you're not oh yeah. Yeah, how's that? Well Kansas City, Missouri? You can have 15 Chickens and one rooster we only have hens though, okay? You have 15 we have eight okay? Yeah, which eight's a a good it's a good number. He's gonna try for more We really got eight because they say like 15 to 20 percent of chicks die And so we thought we'd end up with like, you know six or something Okay, but they all lived good parents. So you got eight chickens. How many, how many eggs are you getting a day?

Eight. Really? Pretty consistent. We'll get seven to eight a day from like March to November. And then winter time. It's a little bit slower. A little slower. Yeah.

I think they only missed like two days last year. So are you able to keep up as far as consumption? Oh no, we're slinging them. Are you? Yeah, we got like the neighborhood on a rotation. Really? Yeah. Yeah. I should have brought you also. What am I doing?

Yeah, your eggs are my paddles. It's kind of fun. Yeah, it's fun to be able to have things you can like freely give out. Yeah. They make people happy. That's like the new Kansas City currency.

Eggs and paddles, eggs and paddles, baby. You need to go to Chick-fil-A and pay with that. like the new Kansas City currency eggs and paddles eggs and paddles baby what else you need you go to Chick-fil-a and then pay with that do you you keep your eggs out on the counter oh yeah yeah unwashed unwashed out on the counter they told me about it this weekend trust me they don't shut up going on the eggs yeah up to three months so yeah because of the little bloom the bloom which is like film around it Which people some people? lick it

No before washing and there's like microbiome Stuff I'll do a lot of things that Catherine tells me to do. I'm not I'm not like an egg. You're not doing egg licks That's coming out of a chicken I love chicken That's all I eat what part of a chicken do you eat though? That's shooting that egg out bloom Yeah, I promise you've yet you ever linked it I've never looked it. I don't know if I believe

Ashland what I Can't say for certain that Ashland has not okay. Hey, you're out of town. That's that's very diplomatic answer Yeah, what's the best-case scenario if you lick the bloom like got health? Yeah, it's like probiotics or something like that. Yeah I don't know.

I forgot I've told the Story I told this on the podcast the the end of it, but keep going a family. Yeah there so there are four babies and a mother presuming it's a mother, and so we were leaving out of town

with like three weeks to spare. We had like a ring camera out there, and you know, 3 a.m. ring notification, and there's like five raccoons on top of like the coop or whatever. And so they're- Dude, that's so sad, it's so scary. It's a Disney movie.

It's so scary. Nothing you can do. And raccoons are absolute Savages, I mean like they can lift like cinder blocks They can like dig underground like up to like a foot and a half or something like they're super strong They've got fingers. They got fingers Yeah, they've got they've got it all they got all the checklist for Saturday. Yeah pretty much checks every box. Yeah

hungry, yeah, so Yeah, we got we got a raccoon trap And so for like three weeks I mean my day started at like 345 a.m. Whenever the ring would go off that there was a raccoon outside and I mean I was like hucking rocks at them and like I mean literally like from me to you like Staredowns with raccoons really dude. Yeah, it was nuts. They wouldn't it was like the funniest like sidequest that I was a part of

Like they would like if you got close to them, they would not I walked out one time And it was I mean like three in the morning you know boxers and like a handful of rocks ready to go. And there was like the mother and the baby was like right there. I mean within like ten feet of me and and the noise that this mother raccoon was making is Did I get to hear it? I hear it in my sleep. It's a crazy noise I've also encountered a raccoon when I think I scared it and it was like it's like barked back. Yes, it's arcs It's great. It's hard to drive. Yes, like yeah medley. Oh it is I had to happen to me one time in a dumpster. There was a raccoon. Yeah, freaked me. I yeah

You always know if you've heard that sound correct. It's terrifying every time I go to a dumpster I think of a raccoon you could make that sound so yeah, I mean even just like It's not spooked of you. That's crazy. They're like someone like yeah I mean this was this was probably like, you know ten or twelve days under this battle And so we had gotten you know a little bit more comfortable around one another And so we had gotten you know a little bit more comfortable around one another And so we knew our yeah So we we trapped you know all four of the babies and so they say you have to like well They actually say that you should just like shoot it

But we don't want to do that obviously and we're in the middle of Kansas City not just gonna like pop up you off You think your dad would? Oh yeah. Linda. Yeah. Don't even move. Still working on my cheat sheet for fantasy football. Boom boom! Linda we're gonna eat well tonight. Boom boom! But they say if you're like gonna release them you should take it 10 miles away from like your home or whatever and So then you know it would be like 430 in the morning And I've like mapped like park and find the closest one. That's you know ten miles away or whatever So I was like driving out to Lee's Summit

whatever. So I was like driving out to Lee's Summit like every 430 in the morning every morning and like opening it up and well you're doing this multiple times. Oh yeah. Oh okay. Yeah. I got I got two in one night which was pretty special. It was a good night. I told the neighbors. Yeah. And then it took a few more days to get the other babies and then the the like like mom raccoon, I mean, it was like a week long, like I was putting food out there in the trap and the food would be gone the next morning and dude, it was wild. Um, and then I got it. And when I got it, like literally not trying to be funny when I got it,

it truly felt like there was like some animal instinct of like you know battle well fought yeah it was like like she was like kind of tipping her like it was crazy she kind of gave me a little salute we rode in silence to Heritage Park I went I went extra far on that one to make sure she wasn't coming back. Well is that the one that you ran over? Oh no. That was a different one? Yeah I don't want to be on camera for this story.

But it was when I caught two of them I let let them out didn't see you know where one of them went and then I was literally in like some lease summit like subdivision that was being built and I like backed out of somebody's unbuilt like driveway and and then saw it Saw it in front of me and I had killed it. Yeah, how do you be like you gotta come see this guy's crazy? So be like let me finish my drink then I'll go check it out To drive all the way there just to run it over your car your mom also told me once again I just know more from his your life from your mom than you

That one time on the ring camera you were like out of town or something or away from your house And you you went to battle with this raccoon. Yeah from afar. Yeah. Well, it had like a microphone. And so, yeah, it was like 3 a.m. in like Denver or something. And I saw some raccoons sniffing around. And so I just got on the mic and started barking. And they eventually went away. But what environment were you in in Denver? Yeah, like my friend's like bedroom.

I started barking and then my friend's dog bedroom. I I started barking and then my friend's dog brooms away started barking So hard to explain Anyone knows the dog start parking this thing. Okay, it's coming crazy. I feel like I heard two dogs barking last Man chickens man provide a lot of content dude your funny bird Yeah, you do you have names for like are you like obsessed? I feel like people really get into the chicken like personalities I think we're obsessed Early on we decided no names. Okay, just because they are you know vulnerable bird

Didn't not a lot of them, you know live very long predators Yeah, so they're on like a you know, whitey Blackie Brownie. Yep kind of thing. So it's not like names to me, but My our five-year-old nephew Karen Derek's kid named one of them Fred. So one okay does have a legit name. Okay. Yeah, Fred Not bad Okay, yeah, Fred. Oh, that's amazing not bad Can y'all have them over here? Yeah, I think so. I don't know. I'm sure there's a limit and everything Catherine wants them Of course, but I don't know To me. Do you honestly think?

Financially it's it's been no. Yeah. No. Oh my gosh. No, okay. Yeah I mean like you have to build all this stuff building all of it was probably you know 600 hundred bucks maybe and and that's like I mean I can't do the math on that but that would be months worth of eggs right not to mention like the feed and then We got tarp you got hey tarp. Hey, why are you? Blooms like bloom fees boom People like I'm over lick it Tarp hey, why are you trying blooms like bloom fees boom? People are gonna look at whatever they want No, we're definitely in the red and yeah, we'll be in the red for a while. I'll probably never profitable

You say like, hey girl, morning girls. You say anything like that. They're like so much like pets to us, but like it's just not really in their nature to be, you know, it's like the complete opposite of like a dog. Like, I mean, you walk into like their run and they think it's like they have five seconds to live like They they are not every once in a while

Maybe one will like come up and you know, like you try and like kind of pet it but yeah, they don't really they're not super They're not money. They don't like Haven't developed a memory of like you smell like this. You look like this. You always give me food Yeah, well, they definitely remember that we give them food they like these like dried mealworms and every time like we walk out the door it's like Christmas morning and they're yeah jumping up and down and yeah but you know if it's just to say hi to them they could care less other things from this weekend same when I spent about 30 minutes one day just going just naming baseball players

Yeah, dude, good times. Yeah, I don't know. I think my favorite name drop was Benito Santiago. Yeah thought of that on the drive home We were even texting each other baseball journeyman, you know, he was all over the place I think of him for the for the for the Giants, but he also played for the Royals.

the Scooby-doo-doo. Yeah, I Was singing the other day What if all the cartoons that one got saved? Yeah. Yeah, and I can't remember much beyond that but What are the other how that got brought up. I think someone said jingle to that song. Yeah, Ryder said jingle to that song. Someone said, Yabba Dabba Doo Yab or something like that.

We were playing that chameleon game and one of the things was like Scooby Doo. And then I think one of us said, Scooby Dooby Doo Yab. That was fun, dude. Christian music these days just isn't fun, you know forest Frank. Yeah Do you know what that musician's up to now? He's probably it's probably something sad. Is it sad? Yes, is he trans? No, but you know how he wrote a song about cartoons Yeah, really takes a liking to kid behavior.

Oh no. Yeah, too bad. Tooby-tooby too bad. Tooby-tooby too young. Tooby-tooby too life sentences in jail. That sucks. Is it now wrong to like that song? Because I don't think it is.

You separate the art from the artist? I think I do. You separate the harmony from the pitot? That's what some people ask. There's any harmony in there. If there's harmony, think twice, guys. That's what I've always said. I think you still like the song.

It's pretty fun. It's pretty silly. Yeah like a DC talk There's still two other guys in there. Hey, it wasn't all of one. I like that Michael Tate. All right Have you seen this stuff coming out about the Wilkins this deep detangle from the Raiders oh I saw little about it. He's just sticking sticking things and being kind of a weirdo. Yeah. But like publicly. What do you mean? He like randomly got released from the Raiders, even though he had this guaranteed contract like this kind of stuff doesn't happen.

And then at first it was like, well, it's because he hasn't done enough to recover from an injury. So legally they can terminate him. Well, then it comes out. At least the earlier report is like he kissed a teammate on the head and his teammate didn't like that. And a lot of people are saying, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg because then you start seeing these clips

and this dude on camera has done so many strange things while playing games, like, has like, kind of like sodomized players when they're on the ground or in like like like piles and like yeah grab Josh Allen's crotch before and like it's like dude he's like publicly groping people something's up also how did that not get discovered way earlier when he should more ramifications for what he's doing I feel like I agree so now the ramifications are people on podcast

mentioned it and that's about it. It is pretty crazy, like just the NFL engine or just sports, I guess, like things that are like so illegal outside of sports are like so, like remember when Miles Garrett and Mason Rudolph? Oh yeah. Like look at this. Helm of honor.

Trying to beat him with it. That was wild, like that's a, like that big of a man doing that scary of a thing, like he could have killed that guy You know like you could have really hurt this dude, but since it's like within the confines of the game I think it's like yeah, there's some kind of legal Gray area to where it's like okay. It's like boxing UFC fighting. It's okay, but it's like it's not It's not like you're gonna have to go to prison for this. Yeah, it's like why are you doing that? Yeah, it is weird, but that's kind of wild

Anyway, so I'll probably moral come out about that. But it's the offseason not a lot going on Let's keep talking about sports. I have my fancy football draft this weekend in Branson. Okay I think I'm gonna be able to go to it assuming that boat continues to be good Any advice for me? Just a draft like a snake draft. It's a, I believe it's auction. Auction. Wouldn't care either way, because that's how much prep I put into this thing.

I never win, so I'm pretty bad. Anything I don't know about the upcoming NFL season, like, I don't know, are there, like, is, what's the guy's name? People are probably gonna be, while you finish your thoughts. Receiver, Stephon Diggs, where is he playing now? Is he still Houston?

Houston? Okay. I don't know. I feel like there were some big big big changes in the offseason. I don't know where everybody is What did get moved around? I think some like D tier quarterbacks moved around but I don't know how much moving and shaking. Okay. Um Let's see I bet people are gonna be high up on the Lions offense because they were so good last year But their offensive coordinator is now the head coach of the Bears. Okay. Might take a step back. Might take a step back.

Although I love Jay Goff. I've been watching a few of the episodes of quarterback. Yeah. It's good. It's good. It's so good. It's amazing. So good, dude.

I would love to watch a show featuring him and his family. So yeah, he's so likable. I agree. Joe Burrow, you liking him? Same as I felt about him before. You called it early years ago. Total dork. Pan can.

Pan can. Pan can. Meaning? No personality. Got the personality of a chicken goop. Yeah, I'm like, is that really all he is? Or is he like holding back? Yeah.

I don't know. And when he was playing piano, he's like playing, he was like, yeah, I just got this thing just to do something in the offseason and he's so not very good at it Not trying to say that you have to be a savant at piano, but I'm like you're pretty bad at piano Yeah, it's a fun little guy other than that Ravens probably have a new kicker. So, you know probably have a new kicker so you know probably have a new kicker yeah don't Justin Tucker will not go very high yeah draft look into that good I like to be in auction drafts I could be the first one to nominate a defense

like it's a it's a fool's game to go three dollars on the film the blank defense let somebody else spend their money doing that whoever the top rated kicker is who cares yeah nominate him let other people spend their money doing that. Whoever the top rated kicker is, who cares? Yeah. Nominate him, let other people spend their money. Okay. That's what I do. So your strategy is like, get the money out of the way from other people. Oh yeah, back after the draft, King Midas.

Love that. Did I ever tell you last year? Everything you touch turns to Robbie Gold. You kidding me. Or Golden Tate. Good, that would have been better. Both play a lot these days. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Last year, kind of on accident, That would have been better both or a lot these days Last year kind of on accident there was like a not a glitch, but kind of we were doing auction draft You know probably seven or eight of the guys are the twelve were in person for the guys weren't one of the guys is putting his Child to sleep while they were doing auction draft Jameer Gibbs running back for the Lions pretty pretty good top What a rookie last year yeah, not really sure how good he was going to be. My friend, you know, in the auction draft, you like click, you know, OK, I'll bid higher than that. I'll bid higher than that.

So people are clicking every once in a while. Somebody goes from like $10 and they manually put something in and click $20 or something like that. Somehow my friend was putting his child down to sleep, reading him a story and bid 120 of his $200 under mere games. This rookie who might be the second string player on his team. And then one of my other buddies was just getting ready to click as well to like up

the bill. Yeah, I'll go to $32. So he bid $121. And I was like, we keep this, we keep this. Sorry. That's what happens. And of course, everyone else was nice and like, no, let's reset the whole draft. Meanwhile, this recliner, Dane's going, this is why you do paper. Wouldn't have ever happened if we did it live.

And in hindsight, I mean, that's still too much money to spend, but he had an amazing season, like wouldn't have been the worst thing. Oh, yeah. It's just the greatest joke ever now. One hundred and twenty one. So. So, yeah, going to Br the greatest joke ever now. 121, sold. So yeah, going to Branson this weekend for a little auction draft. Branson's fun, dude. That's great. So for Birdie, yeah.

Oh, that's great. Yeah, you're going to Branson, Rachel's going to Milwaukee. Okay. I'm going to New York City. Trey's tour starts. He's also going to Milwaukee. Oh.

Sam. Milwaukee. Yeah. He's going to Milwaukee. For some NA's's yeah, I gotta do it go Brewers I feel like they may not have a lot of in a walkie His day's parents were just in Milwaukee. They were your dad was texting us about it. It's Milwaukee on the come-up It's Milwaukee the place to be should we get some real estate going? What does your either of your dad's I have a feeling I know the answer is no for your dad

Does your dad just do random group texts? He'll like leave somebody out like it'll be like he's trying to text the whole family and yeah, Brian's not yeah Brian's not in it. Okay. Yeah or his His thing right now is like he he's on Instagram. You should give him a follow is he he doesn't post okay? and Hilsen you know like good content sometimes like just like Christian male inspirational, you know and and his message with that will be like, you know Fam thinking about this that and the other whatever but it's only like individual people

thinking about this, that and the other whatever, but it's only like individual people. Like he thinks he's putting them in like a group text or whatever. It's just like sending out separately. That's funny. He doesn't realize it's yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My dad, like, I mean, obviously we have like the, you know, group chat for my family, Catherine's family, whatever, all these different things.

But like my dad will sometimes like he's at the Royals game last night with my nephew, his grandson. And I just get a text and there's like three numbers there I don't even know like in this group chat like having a great time with my grandson at the Royals game like I think it's just any Royals fans he was thinking of right then he puts in it so it's never the same one so like what did he send us I was something with pickleball or something where it's like Jake just did we get texted jake just really enjoyed this or like oh he did send you text whenever my mom finished a pickleball puzzle i think that's

what it was yeah that was fun uh but it's just so funny and jake was very kind and like oh that looks like a lot of fun oh i gotta give me one of those like thank you for humor yeah yeah he hi brown jake we found this college in w what Tosa, Wisconsin outside of Milwaukee. Yeah It's a new one for me and I think he texted that because he knows I'm so fascinated by his college thing But yeah, we're staying here for two nights Brewery tour tomorrow and then take it to our Lambo field on Sunday. He loved the Lambo It was just that was a great update. I said hey sounds fun. Let me know how it goes. You did and then he responded with some more stuff. Yeah yeah so

yeah I always appreciate getting text from your dad. It's fun. Oh yeah he's great but. What did you say college thing? He has a college thing? He's got like this random ability like specifically with D1 basketball schools. But you could ask him any school and he'll know where it is in the United States. That's awesome. It's still remarkably good with any D2 or D3 college. And he'll know, like a lot of times he'll even be like,

yeah, that's like the North, like North Central part of Pennsylvania, right? Like he even, he like really, really likes that kind of thing. Like anytime we're watching a game or something, he'll see somebody, oh, Rainy Moss from Marshall. Where is Marshall exactly? You know, like get out his Atlas and start looking up. Like just honestly, I think your dad and my dad would get along like they're just, they're just, we got to get them to Milwaukee, get them to a Brewers game.

Man. Um, all right. Maybe last thing I'm going to save a lot for the Wednesday episode. I stand up show this weekend. Um'm gonna save a lot for the Wednesday episode. I had a stand-up show this weekend I want to talk about the emails we've been sending. Oh, yeah. Okay crazy I knew we're gonna do a schmores on Wednesday, but last thing Brad. Do you know about the fibler? No Bible man and the fibler. Well Bible man. Yeah, do you know about my connection? I'm in Fibbler yes. Yeah Okay, fun fact. Do you know where my connection to Bibleman? Oh. Fibbler, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, fun fact. Do you know where Bibleman was filmed?

No. Olathe, Kansas. No way. My hometown. Even more fun fact, do you know whose next door neighbor was Bibleman? Not mine, my Aunt Cindy's. Wow. Was Willie Aime's neighbor for a while.

And so I loved Bibleman as a kid. And then of course seeing him in the flesh in his garage, it's just like that's Bibleman. That's amazing. That's unreal. I'm pretty sure like it was filmed at Luke Hogan's church, Journey Bible. No way.

The Bible Church. Yeah. Bibleman. That's so funny. Anyway, dude, Bibleman rocks. Bibleman rocks, dude. Yeah. And the Fibbler was one of the bad guys. And's so funny. Anyway, did Bible man rocks. Bible man rocks, dude. Yeah. And the fiddler was one of the bad guys. And he's terrifying.

He was a really bad guy. Let me see if I could. It was like late Saturday night. And it was one of those things just kind of naturally happens. We're just like around a TV and everyone's like, anybody have any like funny YouTube videos? And so we're sharing different stuff. And anyway, Sam's like, give me the remote.

And then he puts on Bible man and the fiddler and then we all watch this like three minute battle scene and it was real I mean I've never seen Bible man I didn't grow up with it but it was like this is so quotable this is oh dude did that's shocking that you don't know Bible man I wonder how that more shocking than in a more shocking than cup pong. Well, now that we know that it's like a Kansas City based thing, is it only Kansas City people that know Bible man? Yeah, I wonder how popular was like, did a lot of my friends in southwest Missouri know that this existed or was it like a library? It's in my head, it was a big deal. But like, oh, it's like mr. Rogers like Christian bookstore

I think had Bible man. Yeah, totally Can't pad a Bible man costume. That's so funny. It was great. Yeah, we watch this fiddler fight scene And I don't know what this shows even normally like it's so funny that all I've seen is this fight scene, but it's just so funny That the fibbler so is he a recurring bad guy and he's always saying fibs No, I mean looks like it was like a six lies of the fiblar episode Yeah, you need to watch the whole the whole episode also He's kind of terrified he's so scary and he'll like pop up behind kids and just like whisper things in their ear They're not yeah. Yeah, yeah

We had a physical sword fighting him, but he was also fighting them. He's fighting him off with scripture. Yeah, God's Word. And it was awesome. He would like gear up for like, I mean any like cinematic, I don't care, high budget, low budget, any sword fight you've ever seen, is it not exactly the same? Where they just agree to hit swords for like 16 times and then eventually like they will shove one of them off. Yeah, I was gonna say, did they ever do like the stalemate? UGH! They both fly back. Like they will shove one of them off. I was gonna say did they ever do like the stalemate? Fly back it's a classic. So it's another one of those classic sword scenes

But every time he like rears up to hit a sword. It's like oh, yeah Proverbs 19 to He does that about seven times it was awesome highlight of the weekend I don't know if anyone else even not even enjoyed it I don't know if anyone else liked it at all, but I was like this is awesome. You got it. Yeah, I get it This is so good. Dude Bible man was there's just there's something about awesome, man. It's so good So how do you know the Fibler personally? Fibler was my Sunday school teacher. He taught me Psalm 23. Yeah We should try track him down to what if though dude like he's probably around here somewhere

Not do it if this was filmed at Journey Bible. Maybe some of the actors were also just members maybe Fiddlers a deacon Luke Hogan or Aaron Bowling like somebody out there. Do you know the Fibbler? He's probably like old now. We're putting out an eight Points bulletin. Mm-hmm. We're looking for the F fibbler. Is that what that means, All Points Bulletin? I've never known. Me neither. Thanks for coming by, guys. Any other questions?

Alcoholic beer volume I don't like blood. It's blood. He's alcohol beverage volume really alcohol by volume actually I think I think it's by volume by volume That was in the realm, but it is for kind of beer and stuff right for beer stuff. Yep like fraternity stuff I don't like beer stuff. What are you guys doing this Friday like you guys want to do some beer stuff? Watch some sports games and do some beer Guys, what talks for details maybe some beer cup home You empty It is a beer stuff. Yeah, I know when it's beer stuff.

Oh, can't wait for football season.

Tons of beer might as well be beer stuff season. Yes. Can't watch a game without a little beer stuff. We got to come out there on non-alcoholic drink. They call it beer stuff. Well, it's not beer, but I mean, it's beer stuff. It's all the same stuff with beer. Is it is it true that like did your NA this week have alcohol?

It says like less than zero point five percent. Yeah, so can't get it out of there. Yeah Yeah, I've always heard that I tried some and gross. What's point? Have you ever? Drank a whole beer.

And yeah, I do New Amsterdam stuff and your stuff. Do you think to give us stuff?

How many beer? How many beer brands do you think you can name right now? I'll say right off the bat, I'm confused by the Bud Light and Bud Wiser relationship. OK, Diet Coke Coke. OK, it is like that. That's what I always thought as a kid. And then some reason they've got me kind of confused. All right, so.

The Dillon will anything. Anheuser-Busch. Yeah. That confused me. I was like, is it one or two? Bud what? Anheuser-Busch, one. No, well, kind of.

All right, Budweiser. Budweiser. Aren't they like the parent company? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something like that, all right. Clydesdales. but no one's like hey Can I have an anizer bush, please? I'll take an AB

That's the thing though that people say AB they actually do would you say AB ABV AB is just alcoholic beverage No Okay, man. Yes, we got some a B's in that cooler some in a's over there They would really say like this has beer in it. So it's an a B. I think so And college, okay, okay beer. So Budweiser, but like Budweiser. Yeah, Bud white but white but why? Guinness okay going right to the heavy stuff. That's the heavy stuff. Yeah, huh? Okay All right, I got this there's Coors light. Yeah. Huh. Okay.

What are the variations of Micolobar there? Micolob light. Oh, so what's ultra? Is that like the heavy kind? Is there, yeah, there's Micolite, right? I think Micolotra is. Is light. Is the light. Is well. think make a lot of is like is the light. Well, it's confusing.

It's like Pepsi Max and Pepsi zero. But I think they both have zero calories. There is a Michelob light. I don't know. Ultra is like the active beer. Yeah. I've been running in the commercial. So you always got down with the workout. No one does that. Yeah. Anyway, that should be like the official drink of like marathons or something maybe.

You always hear people getting a nice cold beer after a marathon. All right, what am I at, like five or so? And I'm kind of running low. Let's see, I feel like they're always blue. Let me think of blue things. Did you know that Budweiser is sometimes referred to as Bud Heavy?

Okay got that one Give me another color. What's another color of the the package? in unity orange phanta yep phantom with a bb a b phanta orange April spritz orange is a bad one I don't know why I said that um how about yellow

yellow beer oh twisted tea that's what you're talking about tea time Mike Mike's hard lemonade. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. That's a good one. Dude, I thought Mike's Hard, like when I was 12 watching WWE on what was it called? Spike TV or whatever. And Mike's Hard was like every other commercial.

I thought that was just like the pinnacle of being an adult. Like I cannot wait to be 21 and drink one of these. Yeah, it did seem like that must be delicious. Yeah. I remember your mom, I'm sorry, I just have so many stories about your family. I remember your mom like one time being like, Brian, who's just the,

we can talk more about Brian on Wednesdays. Brian's the best. Brian's your younger brother, but he's like baby of the family younger. Yes. Kind of like, that's kind of who I am too in my family. Yeah. Just hilarious.

And so because of that, I think he's always just been influenced so much by you and your sister probably. It's so funny. Whatever. But Brian always really wanted to live in the ghetto. He's like, Oh, just be so cool. Live in the ghetto, mom. Why do we not live in the ghetto?

I didn't know this. It's so funny. And like that's totally, is that not relatable to at least me I definitely wanted to be like like watch hardball It's like that looks awesome, dude. Yeah, I feel like even just like idolizing Michael Jordan I was like I need more like black around me. Yeah, I don't have any friends who are I want this seems awesome Brian Brian got sent home from school one time for asking this was like second or third grade Asked like the black girl in his class if she lived in the ghetto.

But it was probably like fascination standpoint. Well, yeah. He had just so many questions. I'm sure. Right. Yeah. Do you live in the ghetto? He got sent home. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. He's crying. Poor guy. Sweetest little guy. That first time I met Brian Hintinger, that's all he said to me was, yeah, I'm Sam's brother. Youest little guy. That first time I met Brian Hinteger, that's all he said to me was, Yeah, I'm Sam's brother. You know, Sam. And I'm like, like he thought everyone knew Sam. That's funny.

Was so convinced. Anyway. A lot of memories. Brian. Very, very faithful. Very consistent. Always showed up to Super K. Yeah, he's a big K Life kid. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. Anyway, what's the yellow brand? I don't know. I don't know if I had one in mind.

These all look kind of like. Just Gulf Shores is getting excited. Jesus joined chaos from Danielle. Jake, Brad, time and all your quality guests. Thank you for sharing love and encouragement every week. I always knew your podcast positively impacted me,

but I really recognize the gravity of that impact. In November, 2024, when my husband was away at military basic training, I was 16 weeks pregnant with our sixth kiddo. Our oldest daughter was overseas on a mission trip and our 10 year old daughter suffered a life threatening brain bleed from a cheerleading fall. After a whirlwind of the emergency room to being ambulance to our children's hospital admitted to the pediatric ICU, I had a moment to go home and shower and gather some things. Since my husband and oldest daughter, the ones who bring levities to situations like

these, were away and barely reachable, the load of all this was extra heavy on me. When I got home, I felt myself physically smile and begin to relax when I realized there was a new episode of Ghost Runners to listen to. I listened and laughed slash cried being encouraged by whatever silliness ensued on that episode. By a true miracle, our daughter made a full recovery from her injury. We now have a healthy baby boy, and my husband and daughter are both home. Thank you for shining the light of Jesus into these dark, tough, scary situations in all our lives.

Your fun, relatable stories helped me look for the humor in my daily life." And then she said, "'P.S., my kids and I were walking to Walmart yesterday when I looked over and noticed a lady shining her phone flashlight right at us Maybe she was recording us or maybe she was innocently pulling a Jake at the gym.
