So there I am. Mm-hmm. Needing a bathroom break and finding myself at a public pickleball facility. As we all do. This happened two weeks ago in St. Louis. Now I'm in Brooklyn. No problem. We've been here before.

Okay. Follow the game plan. Yep. St. Louis and Brooklyn, same place. Yep. Equally spooky. And I'm proud to say for a second time in two weeks, the automatic lights turned off on me while I was going to the bathroom.

Dude. It's like, you've got to be kidding me. You have to be kidding. yeah so how long it's me I don't know if it's them maybe you just need to do some kicks in there like keep like to help yeah like make sure they know that you're moving around a little bit oh duh I thought you meant like to facilitate it goes quicker yeah yeah yeah I've heard of squatty potty kicky kicky shik yeah yeah maybe something like that yeah or just yeah get hooping and hollering almost there

Yeah, somehow it's like, it's either motion or just a lot of noise. So you just have to scream. Whoa, whoa, whoa. And maybe there'll be a vibration from the noise. Yeah, that was too bad. That's, yeah. What's up with you? Uh, nothing.

That's good. Roll the music. Uh, uh, oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in 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 because this is a Ghost Rupp's podcast.

Everybody's morning, you're taking around. Ghost on a podcast. All right, we're back. Caleb's back. How are we feeling, Caleb? Feeling great. Yeah?

Give us the debrief. What was it like being here in the studio for the first episode? I was like, it was a little hazy. Like I felt like people say that it's like it was in a dream. It kind of felt like that. It was just, I don't know if it was the caffeine from, you know, the coffee or whatnot, but it was just a blast to be a part of it. Yeah. It was kind of fun because like when you're listening at home. Yeah. Or while you're working on stuff or whatever, like there's just so many times that relatable moment. Like oh, I could. And then so here I am just like relating. Oh, I have something to say about that. Yeah. So holy cow. Yeah. Let me let me actually relate right now to it. That's great. Like my mayor was in a wife beater one time. let's say topics until Caleb has something like relatable to talk about it okay okay cheese it's oh I love cheez-its and by the way I just heard all right well pretty quick game burnt on purpose or regular no actually I just heard somebody I want to try out but whenever I look for them I can't find them somebody said get the reduced fat cheese it's not for the reduced

fat aspect but because they're a little bit less like greasy dude they do taste good I've had those not since I was 12 but they're nice you remember him I think Scott had reduce fat of his house. He would. Mormons. It's in there somewhere. Yeah. No coffee, reduced fat cheeses.

Okay. No black people until 19. Yeah. We're going Mormon. Shoeilaces? Yeah, actually, I was just thinking the other day at work, my groundwork shoes that I have. Yes. I've had them for a couple years now.

And the shoelaces are just like a little too long. I just thought I should like get some new shoelaces, but I need to like take out the shoelace and measure it first. Yeah. See like what size you need by. Yeah. But let's take it out. Are you going to be able to get new shoelaces that day?

Like in time, you have to restrain your racket. You know what I mean? I'll make sure that I can wear like my black dress shoes the next day. One of the Amazon two-day delivery thing. Okay, let's talk about black dress shoes. I hate them. I don't like black dress. I don't want a black suit, black dress shoes.

I like brown, man. I am so much sexier in brown. With brown belt, brown shoes. You are sexier with that. Thank you. And I think I am too. If you go black shoes a little too, I mean, I feel like I'm in a, oh, where is the speakeasy.

see yeah I just don't go back in time I don't know what times the G train taking off I don't feel as good Jake you know what I mean like brown give me a give me a camel brown oh I look nice I'm not willing to associate an animal animal like these are made of camel or is this the color color okay just a nice like just like rich brown without it being like dark brown you know what I mean I'd give I'd take like a guinea pig brown a G pig brown G pig brown G pig brown sounds like a A kid's character. Or a crayon. If you buy the 128 pack, it comes a G-Pig brown.

With the built-in sharpener? Yeah, yeah. Built-in sharpener worked for zero seconds. Yeah. All right, you could convince yourself what's working. Like, this is better than not having a sharpener. Also, never had the one with the built-in sharpener, so that was why I convinced myself. That don't think so.

That's what my mom told me. She's like, the, the list of required supplies say you only need a 24. Yeah. Well, they have 164. Is that how many it was? It was so many. Or is it just 64? I think 64 than 128.

128. Yeah. You think. How nice you have to dress for your work? It's business casual. But when I wear it the reason... Becatch brown. Oh, yeah.

It's like a nice polo, some khakis, and then brown shoes. Or the only time that I wear black, so, like, I think the saving grace for black shoes is black polo, nice black jeans, and then these black dress shoes. It's like an all black. Yeah, little Johnny Cash. style yeah oh johnny cash that's not bad yeah that's good yeah the man in black what did johnny cash song be about Caleb's work okay so he works a holiday in express um oh it just be i've been everywhere but it's all the different locations that i'm gonna pull up some holiday express locations real cool you know that Nelson no that's that's johnny cash okay

Okay, okay. What state do you think has a ton of them? indiaapolis the state no give me California let's go California Florida you think Florida is well because like Orlando there's a ton of hotel okay okay Florida I'm gonna find it I'm into Panama City

Palermo Red Fort Walton Beach St. Augustine Pinsicola Marco Island Dunedin Dunedin Dunedin Dinneedon De Nivorebees Jacksonville Nicolmas Kissing me Niceville Panama

Holiday in an express, man, I've been everywhere, man. I got a million places in Florida. I've been everywhere. I'm a man in black. Very nice. My shoe laces are a little too long.

Something like that. What do you think of that? Something like that. What do you think of that? hey what do you think so that's just an example I think this would be a good thing to do with Caleb well first of all

Caleb do you know this song I mentioned this last week to us and we didn't do it do you know this song Down by the Bay maybe if I heard it by who just like a kid's song back in the day it was like down by the bay

where the one was on oh yeah yeah I do my home I dare not go but if I do my mother might say you know this song kind of it's coming back a little bit look at that it might be better if you knew it pretty well yeah for this for this i was thinking it was the song about like the

bullfrog done da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da no it's not that different one sounds fun though whatever that one was bullfrog done then da da da da da da da da da da da da let me look up the lyric here's what we're going to do we're just going to do Caleb how well can you improv oh and by improv i mean a mild bit of of improv. Yeah, sure. Maybe even you can use chat GPT to help you come up with the first thing. So here's what it is. Oh, super simple.com. Find the lyrics for down by the bay. So we got this. Here's the idea. And I think this would actually be fun to also do potentially if this goes amazingly well, which I think it's going to right now. Great. To also do with the ghosties on the live podcast recording and ghost shorts. Okay. So the idea is this. I would, so the idea

of the song is like you sing the same like beginning of the verse and then every single end of the verse is different it's like like so it's like did you ever see a goose kissing a moose down by the bay did you ever see a whale with the polka dot tail down by the bay did you ever see a fly

wearing a tie down by so I think it'd be like it's got a rhyme so the idea is like I would start singing the first part and then we would let's just let's just for the sake of you know not putting Caleb on the spot too much initially at least have Caleb do the first part of the rhyme And then Jake has to

Okay, great And then after he finishes the rhyme We all sing the last down by the bay together I'm in Okay Do you understand? Yeah, is there a theme?

No theme. It's completely random The theme is universal nouns The theme is please don't try To intentionally make them Only rhyme with cuss words But hey, does you ever see a duck? All out of luck

see he get it okay and we're definitely doing down by the bay that's the yeah not willing to budge on where this is taking place this takes place down by so let me let me just do a quick trial run hit me down by the bay where the watermelons grow back to my home I dare not go for if I do my mother will say did you ever eat watermelon watermelon did you ever eat a watermelon while ringing your belling down by the bay down by the bay where the watermelons grow back to my home I dare not go for if I do my mother will say did you ever see you grandpa grandpa

turn off the lamp down by the bay think of a word that's a little bit more one syllable dude I'm not Eminem I'm sorry Granted I did say I was like Oh anything's unbelievable Yeah Did you ever see a diplomat

I got Yeah I think I got it Watermel All right I'm gonna let you say the whole thing Did you ever see I'm not gonna do

Say did And you're gonna All right So you guys can also sing along If you want to If you want to Oh like snap Down by the bay

Where the watermelons grow back to my home I dare not go For if I do My mother will say Did you ever see the color blue Did you see the color blue? Oh you were going to say something inappropriate

On your grandpa's under ruse Down by the bay Down by the bay Where the watermelons grow Back to my home I dare not go For if I do my mother will say

Did you ever ride the roller coaster? While sending your can on a coaster That's the same While drinking main roast Nice street roasters Down by the bay All right Let's stop my back

No reverse it on them I'm not going for this Reverse it on them Okay Yeah hit me Show my outfit Down by the bay Come on

Where the watermelons grow Back to my home Back to my home I dare not go For if I do For if I do My mother will say This is fun and easy

Did you Did you ever eat an orange While you sat by the Dorengue Down by the bay Down by the bay It's supposed to not be able to run But the water moons grow

Back to my home I dare not go For if I do My mother will say Did you ever go to the stadium While you Read about uranium Down by the baby

This guy's a pro I'm the one I'm the anchor Yeah Yeah Well anchor sometimes is a good thing Yeah you're better at the first part I'm the caboose

You keep us grounded Ah you need a caboose I'm the You're the butt It's a big old butt All right I think that could be fun If ghosties just like

Rotated in And just say Yeah Did you ever see it How did you think of this I think I was listening To the song one time with my kids.

I was like, that's kind of funny. Do you ever see a hawk? You know, chucking a rock. And then I think it'd be funny. I think it'd be funny if Timon was in there because I think Tim and I could harmonize the down by the bay,

down by the bay. So, something like that. That's fun. We'll get there, guys. Wow. That was nice,

though. What'd you start with? Did you ever do watermelon? Watermelon and grandpa. Did you ever see a, it was like watermelon. What? And you had a decent.

back I don't know what I said Did you ever see a grip In my defense I guess I kind of misunderstood That's fair I was trying to explain it I didn't probably explain it well enough That's what's the theme and we said anything Alright that's true What's three syllables

Do you ever see a watermelon? Some of the color blue So blue was great and I froze Oh man All right anyway Anyway I have a story I don't know if I'm going to be able to tell it super well

But I keep meaning to talk about it It was Catherine after Bo got out of surgery he's in under anesthesia and like whatever and she's been waiting for him for two three hours I'm not sure exactly how long the surgery was but she said that whenever people get like rolled out of surgery they're all in like the same room

like post op room or whatever to like wake up or whatever and so they're like are you Bo's mom come on back you can you can come on back here and she's walking back it's like 10 o'clock at night you know you can you can talk to me and say hi he's kind of waking up a little bit. And, you know, Catherine's trying to be really calm. Like, hi, Bo. Hi. How you doing buddy? And apparently the nurse was just like, Bo, you're getting out of surgery. Oh, gosh. Like, Bo, you're getting out of surgery now. Time to wake up, Bo. Hey, hey. Look at me. Bo. All right.

All right. And then apparently, Catherine said there was like a little bit of like a curtain in between Bo and somebody else. But she said at one point, like, this. this guy, a nurse, doctor, whoever it was, was just like, Sylvia! Sylvia! Take a breath, Sylvia! You're getting out of surgery, Sylvia! It's like, honestly, maybe it is... Scream them into existence. Maybe it's like they're just so out of it or something, but they're just like screaming. Bo, you're getting out of surgery. And Catherine's like tried to be so sweet and whatever. Touching his arm. Hey, but maybe it's like the better thing to do, but Sylvia, for some reason, the word Sylvia is a funny word.

Silvo. Sylvia, take a breath, Sylvia. Sylvia, take a breath. It's okay. Take a breath. Gosh, yeah, let us know anesthesiologists out there. Yeah. If that's the preferred method, it seems like, why would you not just like, hey, hey, good morning.

Maybe they start freaking out or they, I don't know. I don't know how exactly that works, but funny, dude. There's no way that's better. Especially, you know, Catherine's been sitting in this waiting room. Like, she's like, I was the only one there for pretty much the whole time. She's earned the right to bring him back. Very like, yeah, just somber. Like, this is hard.

You know, my son's in the hospital. Bo? Bo step out of it. Bo! Bo, buddy. Hey, buddy. It's time to wake up. Hey, buddy.

Bo, buddy. Hey, buddy. You want, put on your wife beat her. Let's get out of here, buddy. So, Sylvia. Just funny, funny little story there. I was also in a bit of a loud environment this week. We had a, this was Saturday in New York City.

We had a little event we were going to go to in Manhattan's. We tried to find like a lunch spot nearby. Matt finds this place. It's called the canteena rooftop. Like, hey, it's perfect outside. Let's just go to this like rooftop, get some tacos. You have to take an elevator to get to this place. Like there's no part of the restaurant that's not a rooftop.

It's on the fourth floor. And we're taking the elevator up. And by we're on the second floor going up and you start to hear this like, and I kind of like joke like, whoa, what's going on the second floor? that's kind of fun and you get to the third floor and it gets a little louder and it's like oh no this is for us and those doors open up and it's just like you're in a Vegas nightclub it's like such yeah slap it with bass yeah slap it with base yeah slap it with base yeah and it's so loud we're like oh my gosh is this what we want to do and we're kind of like well we don't have time let's just do it

whatever yeah and this is truly like a nightclub disguise as a mexican restaurant I mean it's like 2.30 in the afternoon broad daylight but it's like there's a live DJ mixing songs no song lasts more than 35 seconds it's like he is mixing it like crazy it's like he's just playing ringtones over and over again and girls would get up like they're mid taco girls would get up like they're all these like tight short dresses and they just start like dancing on each other like it's just there's just dancing really on if it's like your birthday or they want to celebrate something it kind of looks like bottle service like they bring up these like little fireworks that are like going off and they have all these people come out.

They're like blowing whistles like, Boop Boop birthday, the DJ's talking about it. Like it's just like, whoa. Was it crazy environment? Two-thirty packed, yeah. Had Matt been there before? No, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. He's from New York, so I just didn't know.

Yeah. Okay. New York has a lot of restaurants, though. Like how many? We went to four just in the time we were there. Oh, okay. So at least four. Yeah, quite few.

Not bad. But it was like, TJ even made like the, comparison he was like this feels like we're on like a cruise a little bit okay just like how loud and how like beachy vibe it is and then it got very cruisy when a girl with a camera came up to us like let's get a pick guys let's get a pick and we're like oh my gosh like at a just a Mexican restaurant and we're like can you take one with our phone no sorry no they can't do that though to order she didn't give us anything so I'm like I wonder where that photo is going and then sure enough 15 minutes later she comes by and has

six print-off photos all in frames for us to look at. Like, here's your guys' photos. We already framed them. You're like, this is a cruise ship, dude. This is insane. It's like an experience more than is a restaurant. Really? So how many do you guys buy?

Just the one. Yeah. Yeah. Just pass it around. Yeah. And then I went to the restroom, came back. Lights were off. Turns out it was my birthday.

And so then they come back and they're just, I mean, they're blowing the whistle. Fireworks are going off. they brought me churros in a tequila shot i mean it was like oh yeah hey shout out to dink for friday pickleball this birthday and people were going crazy and it was like what in the world but pretty fun experience good memories so i mean we have a ton of food and then we go to this event and then we've been invited to i mean we almost like kind of didn't go because initially they invited us to come to this hey if you're going

to be in town we're putting on this event it's hosted by the dink anyone knows that kind of publication newsletter yeah and anyway then an email came out later they was just like hey and you don't have to be single to come to this and then the event is called like courted and we're like is this a dating event are should we be going to this six dudes in relationships just all show up you you don't have to be single I know but it was like this feels like yeah yeah like what's happening but we end up still showing up like no we're already in Manhattan let's just go show up we show up and it's like 4-10 when I get there.

And this guy's like, oh, perfect. Your guys' exhibition's on in 20. Like, exhibition. We almost didn't even come to this. What do you mean? On in 20. Yeah, he's like, you guys are on center court playing a game at 4.30. And so then I was like, of course, the show ponies.

Well, hey, this is what you're here for. Right. Get out there and get them. So, yeah, I mean, they're just full of tacos. All these people are watching them. They played terrible. And then to play Riley Newman, who's the same pro who we filmed with the day before. So it's like, they have to play.

It's a 10th best player in the world for the second day in a row. she goes terribly. We're like, well, hopefully, no, I don't remember that. There was a lot going on that day, so hopefully they didn't remember that part, but. That's amazing. So there were some people there, and it wasn't just a speed dating thing. It wasn't just like, okay, rotate now. Yeah, not exactly.

Were you feeling the chemistry when you were dinking earlier? Yeah, right down on your note, what you liked and what you didn't like. Interesting little event, though. The guy running it, I couldn't tell. Every conversation we had with him, he was always pushing Buick on us. And we're like, does this guy work for Buick? What? So Buick was like kind of sponsoring this event.

Okay. I don't know if he works for the dink or if he's got some stock in Buick or something. He's like, and after the exhibition, I want to get a picture with you guys in front of the Buick. Did you say that's not a Buick? What do you mean? You know that commercial? Oh, no, I didn't. Oh, you know the one?

Like, I feel like it was like, the only time you watch commercials is during the NFL season. Football. But there was a while back where they were like trying to get rid of their old. old, you know, old person image of like, Buicks are just like what all these old people drive. Okay, okay. And so there was like this campaign where it was always like, that's a Buick, that's not.

And I just remember that one time they were like, that's not a Buick. And then there's this old woman that goes, that's what I told them. Something like that. Coley, if you're watching this, you want to put that in there. That's what I told them.

That's not a Buick. That's what I told him. I told him. I don't know. That's the only thing I can remember. like that that's what I told them that's funny yeah he would have got on great with that girl probably so they had buick's like just parked there it was pretty cool this so this like this is a pickleball facility but it's on the seventh floor of like kind of like a high rise in new york city so there was

like they'd gutted the inside and like there was like a little patio space it was like one court and some buicks could fit up there so it was cool but yeah i was like man this guy's really pushing the he's getting a cut under the table if he like sells a buick today or something yeah right and he had kind of the waistline of a car salesman okay you know so I could see him working for just he sits on his he sits in this computer chair yeah he's been on a lot yeah a couple years at least yeah yeah but overall it's great yeah just went from nightclub tacos oh geez I got to represent the brand and the singles of what's going on yeah but but they well I guess they didn't represent that well it sounds like but but we still

had a good time oh I'm sure they were entertaining it was fun I I saw some video of Scott just going wild after he made he scored a point oh that was that event so they were down zero to 10 oh that's why he has an overhead easy smash ends up clipping the top of the net and then just like drooping over and normally that's one like oh my gosh i'm sorry guys but they were just like fist pumping yeah baby just like going crazy so i mean they were still entertaining for sure it's a great video that's great that makes more since like if they were losing so bad to like go crazy for the point that they yeah because the crowd was slow clapping because they were about to get beat 10 or you know 11 to 0 so it's like all right the final point and then yeah that's amazing

that's fun love that dude did you ever hear Scott no you definitely did last week when he was here before we recorded he told some story it was like a third whatever third degree from him so it was like his his haircut purse his hairdresser that we're calling him Barb Barbara yeah but it's a woman but he cuts she cuts hers Barbara then it's a barber Barbara um she heard it from somebody else that whatever somebody went to Turkey a woman went to Turkey to get her some things augmented on the top of her body hair turn oh got it top got it got it midsection yeah and in the process apparently did you hear this uh while they were

doing that she woke up and they removed her lung as well oh yeah I heard the end of this story what whoa that's all that's that's all the information any of us have because it was one of those things were like well what what did she know like and of course Scott didn't have much more information than that but like what in the world first of all I didn't know that I I thought turkey was only for hair transplants. Yeah. But apparently for implants as well or whatever. Implants, transplants, any kind of plants.

Yeah, I feel like there's people on. Transplants. Transplants. You could go to Los Angeles. You don't need to go to Turkey. But I think it's way cheaper probably. It's why to turn. Yeah, I guess that's what they say.

Either way, but you don't have a lung anymore. Also, yeah, you signed away your lung literally. I think, and I'm like, well, how did she know? How did she know that they just. Scott's like, I think she was breathing. It was harder for her to breathe or something. Also, you can survive on one lung, apparently. Wow.

Is it a thing? I didn't know that either. I don't know what we need and what we don't. You don't really need your spleen. Don't really need your appendix. You can go with one kidney. I think you need to at least one heart, at least one brain. At least.

One lung. Yeah. Scam likely. Nice. Well, see what they're up to. What are you up to? Hello. Hello.

Hi, my name is doing. Good, how are you? I'm great. Thanks for asking. You're welcome. I'm calling me with you probably 12 to 20. Well, don't tell my address on here. This is my podcast.

Okay. Okay. All right. So I was wondering, it's a nice property, by the way. So I was wondering if you would be interesting. Interested in selling? Oh, sure. For the right price. Okay. So, do you have an ice cream price? $700,000. $700,000. $700,000.

Hello? $700,000. Give or take. Or best offer. Really? Why not? Good. Oh, sold. What a jerk. It's not worth more than $6.50. I didn't want to negotiate. I knew you'd back them down. Oh, my.

And those work, I guess. Like, they wouldn't call people if it didn't work at some point. All it takes is a few of them. Yeah. That's what I'm going to be doing. That's chat GPT agent right there. Yeah, that wasn't a real person. It's time to talk about our good friends at Good. ranch roasters. Just kidding.

Yeah, cold water. And it helps that. Sometimes it's overnight, you know, in the fridge. Sometimes it just depends on what we're doing and how quickly we're doing it. But, um... But good ranchers meet. Hey, don't take it from us. But let me tell you...

You can get $40 off and free expedited shipping. and a free meat add-on for life when you subscribe to any box. So take advantage now. Goodmanches.com. It's American Meat delivered. Dude, I got a... Let's see if I could find it.

I met a guy. So at that same event with the exhibition and everything, I got a... Phone number. I met a guy there who's a, like, prominent YouTuber. And so we connected and whatnot

and got each other's numbers. And afterwards, he sent me a voice memo. I'm just going to play the first five seconds of it. Do you think this is AI or not? Okay. Hey, Jake. Great to meet you. Thank you so much for coming over and chatting with me.

Doesn't that sound like AI? It does. Yeah. So we got this voice memo. I'm like, wait, so he would have had to transcribe. He would have to type out what he wanted AI to say. Or he just said, yeah, true. Maybe he had, did the rest of it sound AI?

So as we got into it, it did not. but I like we're in a car full of like all the Friday guys and I was like hey so and so like texted me and they were like what are you saying I was like it's this voice memo we're like let's all listen to it's we get to that part and I pause it and like what's happening how did he get AI to send me a voice memo and I message and then we're yeah we're having fun just like this guy's whole like nice to meet yoi yeah it was fun seeing you at the ding event me lobe yo a long time yeah long tim boobs from the office guys yeah yeah yeah We're talking turkey.

I got a little more normal, but it was unbelievably AI at the first five seconds. Hello, Jake. It was great meeting you today. Yeah. Nice guy though. Really, really nice guy. Almost to the point where it's like kind of like maybe he was doing a bit, but it didn't sound like he was like, he didn't like ever like act like he was.

I think he's just extremely polite guy. A lot of times when TJ calls me and I don't answer, he'll leave hilarious voice. Really? Or voicemails like that. Either like as somebody looking for a custom table or. Or, yeah, as a robot or whatever it is, like all these different things. Every time it's a different nationality or different whatever. Hello, Brad.

Yeah. I want to buy your property. Yeah. Maybe a table. Oh. Nice try, AI. Nice try. Yeah.

Almost got us this time. Anyway, don't go to Turkey unless you want to get a lung removed. It's my lesson from that. Yeah. What's the scam there or just like they're just harvesting organs to sell them? Maybe. How do you find someone to buy a lung? It's like someone else is so secure.

number. I wouldn't even know what to do with it. Well, we're not those kind of people, though. There are people out there, Jake, that love to do that. Oh, I wish I could meet him. I'd give him a knuckle sandwich. That's what Florida people do. Jacksonville. Jacksonville. That's Jacksonville. It's more a Jacksonville thing. Dude, okay. Florida. Florida does have like this like punchline of like a thing going on. Florida man. Florida man. But then it's like, man, we're not my experience with Florida. Granted, it's always in the vacation spots, but it's like Florida's nice. But, like, is it like, oh, no, there's like, there's like different parts of Florida that are different, like, whatever. Stereotypes. Like, like, what's, what's. Daytona. Like, the ones inland, whatever, is Tallahassee is like not on the beach or anything. Is that a different world than, yeah. Well, Tallahassee is a college town. So that's fair. But it's really nice. I actually. Gainesville. Yeah. Gainesville. I've never been to. Okay. But, you know, probably the same story. Yeah. My family lived in, like, my parents and my brothers lived in Tallahasse.

for a couple years so I've been there quite a bit I really actually like it yeah they have these like canopy roads you're driving and like the trees have grown together oh so it's like you're just driving like these kind of like almost tunnel-esque but it's like really corn that's cool yeah um but as far as like florida towns yeah I mean I think it's like a a perfect storm um of like there we get perfect storm sometimes you like the crazy there's like the florida man thing where it's like there's a hurricane hitting and there's a guy standing out in the middle of the highway or the road with like a giant American flag.

Yeah. He's against the storm. Like Lieutenant Dan kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then I feel like probably every place has this, but it's like every house has it. Every city has it.

But there's like like Pascoe County. It's like a county a little bit north of us that it's like they're working on it. They're working on making it better. But there's just like a lot of kind of like wild west out there. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. I just feel like Florida. Florida gets this really not bad rap, but like, yeah, just like swamp. Hillbilly rap. Understandably, it's a large state, so it's like, I've only seen parts of it, but it's like Florida seems great to me. So I like it.

Sunny. Walt Disney likes it. Warm, yeah. Yeah, Orlando even though. Isn't Orlando not, that's not on the beach? It's a little inland. I mean, it's not on the beach. It's kind of close to Cocoa Beach.

Like an hour, hour and a half, I think, Cocoa Beach. That's not that close. It goes to Coco Beach. Go, go, beach. You'd be surprised how many people actually come and stay at, like, at our hotel. And one day, they'll go to Bush Gardens, which is like 20 minutes from us. But then another day, they'll go to Disney.

Like, they'll take the hour and a half drive to Disney and then back. So, yeah, I've been to Bush Gardens in Tampa. No way. Same. Back in the day. Yeah, I went once. I remember as a kid, I was probably, because Val Rico, you know, my aunt and uncle. But as a kid, I just remember riding a roller coaster over alligators.

Yeah. Yeah. And being so, so kind of scared about it. That's gone to. What if we fall? You'd seen a hook at that point. You know what they're capable of. Exactly, dude.

So, anyway, that's all I remember about. That roller coasters called Mantu. Montu. That's a great coaster. I love bush gardens. I love roller coasters. Yeah. So far.

Yeah. You ever been to West Palm Beach? No. Nice part of Florida. I've never been either. That's where Aaron lives. Yeah. Yeah.

That's where Mara Lago is, I think. Is it? Never been. Oh, yeah. I think you're right. All right? I think Trump has some place down there because Aaron's like, yeah, that Trump lives like 10 minutes from us. There's Palm Beach and lives in the White House.

Yeah. Isn't it, like, Palm Beach, though, is, like, not great. I don't know about Palm Beach. I watched the Epstein documentary. It's like, you go across the bridge, and it's like a completely different place. Is it that? Across the bridge where Epstein goes. That's enough.

Fill in the Blake yourself. Oh, man. Okay, so Caleb, man, it's been fun having you here. Tell us your ghosty origin story. Just a quick one, real quick. Just how did you get here, man? Okay, first of all, I've been holding the football. a lot in these past two pods. I just want to say, I feel like American. I'm in Kansas.

That's a legit football right there. We got that in the, we stole that from the chiefs. It's barbecue football. Yeah, that's our, we earned that football. That's gross. Yeah. Sam brought that in it. It's something about a guy. You just like, if there's a football, yeah, I'll hang on to it. 100% Sam held onto it last episode. Yeah, it's great. That's awesome. Okay, so goes the origin story. I kind of forget the logistics of the very, very beginning, but what really, like, Lockdison is um had had been watching stuff from like John Christ and then I saw that video with him and Trey Kennedy where they're like Bible characters doing like Instagram or something yeah and then so like that kind of a flow got me to in my algorithm I was seeing Gene Schwartz videos a lot

okay and we love Gene Schwartz videos yeah loved and uh like 2020 2021 I just remember we we just like sit around just like kind of watch it maybe 22 maybe uh either way eventually we had gone and seen uh Corey and I had gone to see Trey Kennedy do a stand-up on on his tour and Jake opened for him, but this is before I knew like who Jake was. So then the next tour that Trey was on, we went and saw him again, but at this point, I was more like locked in.

I recognized Jake and I, you know, so then we're sitting, Corey and I are sitting, like we're pretty far back in the auditorium too. This is at the Tampa Casino. Yeah, yeah, Hard Rock Tampa. Yeah, I didn't even realize. I've been married for like four days. Yeah, I got married, did that show

and then did the honeymoon. Yeah, so like I, and I remember seeing something in passing, you know, about like the wedding or something something, but I saw Rachel, like in the lobby and was just like, I know her from somewhere, I think. And then when she she came and sat down, her and her parents came and sat down right in front of Corey and I, like, and that's when it all clicked. I was like, she's from like Jean Shorts and like Ghostrunners, which again, I wasn't a ghosty back then. I was just like

I had seen it. Yeah, that's cool. But it was, we just said hi real quick and it was like less is more. She was probably mean to you, Rachel? No, she was so cool. It was not her. Yeah, she's just pretty pretty cold yeah what was really funny is that like we it was like a 90 second two minute the conversation and then just kind of like let it go yeah it was really nice to meet you and so she and her parents turn around is that the correct grammar she and her parents whatever she turned around so therefore she and her parents nice okay i believe shall be proud she her her and her parents her turned around doesn't make sense her parents her and her parents quick sidebar there was a restaurant we went to in new york city and they

spelled desserts as dirzerts. Do an extra R at the beginning. Wow. Joe Dersertz. Instead of Brussels, it said Bustle Sports. Thumbs up. On purpose, you think? There were only like three typos.

Oh. But there were three. So it's like, I think you're just dumb. Bustle Sports. Bustle Sports. S-P-O-U-R-T-S. Sparts. Anyway. So they turn around and then like just a few seconds later, Rachel turns back around and she's like, you know, we can keep talking.

Oh, that's funny. Like, it was just, like, she felt that it was like we were being polite or whatever. So then we just talked and found out that her parents had lived in Florida for a while. I kind of forget the little. Grandma lives there. Good. Oh, Grandma. Okay.

Yeah, Rachel's mom's grandma, like snowbirds and, like, Annemary Island. That was my 9%. We talked about this one and Ghosties on Second is that there's like a study that was recently done that 9% of your memories are either completely fake or just very distorted. So, there you go. That's fascinating. So we... That's going to trip up big for a little bit. Keep going.

You keep talking. I'm going to be... He's going to calculate that out real quick. I'm going to go Jason Sedakis. You keep going, though. Jason Stadak is out of the airplane. So anyway, we were hanging out and she's like, hey, by the way, after the show,

Jake usually comes out in the lobby, so just make sure you meet him. So after the show, we head out to the lobby. And one thing I left out is that while we were small talking, now Corey and I got to the casino like an hour and a half early and went and played a little roulette. Won a bunch of money on the internet. a bunch and we had told and I like pulled out the water cash and I was like look this is crazy like

I was just I have never won that much money in my life like it was crazy yeah it's go hard rock it was like two thousand dollars it was I mean I went away I went in with a hundred and I came on too so they didn't tax you all that much yeah you got to be careful yeah they'll start taxing you so I like we went we went to a little like sushi bar there and we like I dropped a hondo and I was like let's just get all the sushi we want yeah yeah yeah drinks and stuff so then we get into there and we're talking about it so then I thought they just got married like I want to give him like a little wedding gift or something. Like so as we're out there in the lobby waiting for Jake to come out,

there's a lot of people there, you know, and Jake and Rachel and her parents are over there. And so I kind of walk over and I was just like, hey, I just want to give you this. I like awkwardly like give her a $100 bill. I was like just because, you know, like a little wedding gift or something. And she was like, no, no, you have kids and stuff like. And I was like, no, don't, don't rob me my blessing.

Like I'm made of money tonight. Yeah, it feels like. I'll never lose again at the casino. I'm going to do this every night. I'm going to be a millionaire. It was just, yeah. So I like super awkward and she was like just like, okay. And then literally as that, like as that moment ends, we turn to the left and we see Jake coming.

So then Corey and I like head that way. And have you heard this story, Jake? I don't know where it's going. I vaguely remember like Brickett being like a ghostie gave me money tonight. Oh, that's like, what? Yeah. So was he wearing black shoes? No, they were brown and the shoelaces were a little too long lace.

So then we turned around, we head towards Jake and we're like, hey, can we just get a quick selfie or whatever? And as we're like getting, we hand the camera to somebody to take the picture. And as we're like getting, you know, ready, I just say so awkwardly, I was like, yeah, I think we're the only two straight guys who came to see you tonight. Yeah. And it was just like, I felt stupid after I was like, Jake, got a laugh harder. Down by the bay where the straight guys go. and it was like obviously because like the thing is that the joke in all of tray shows is like oh hey all of you guys brought your like all of you ladies brought

your husbands or your boyfriend dragged like and it's like two dudes married dudes that left our wives at home yeah right that's amazing yeah there you go oh so and then you started your own podcast oh yeah so then so that was that was just like a cool interaction and then because of that it was like you know what that was such a fun thing it just kind of got us a little bit more into the culture of Ghostrunners. So then it started regularly listening. And then when this big solar eclipse was going to happen a couple years ago, or is it, yeah, 2024, I was looking at like the path of totality.

And I wanted to like make sure that we could go. We traveled to it. My son, Justice and I. And so when I'm looking at the path of totality, I'm seeing like the place where it's the longest viewing of the total eclipse. It's like four minutes of it. And it's in the southernmost point of Illinois, not too far from Kansas City. And I was like being an experienced guy.

I'm like, wouldn't it be so cool to like flying to Kansas City do like a day in the life of Jake and Brad? Like what, what do they do? What's like that's what? And I even asked in their Facebook group, I was like, hey, going to Kansas City for this thing. What should my son and I do? Yeah. And people were like naming these random things. And I was like, no, no, no, like a ghosty centric.

Yeah. You know, things to do. And so we went to chicken and pickle. We went to McLean's. Fun. um well jake or brad and then rachel also on instagram had like given a couple of recommendations of places we went to andy's we went to shields yeah oh yeah that place was magnificent that's an experience place that place is america yeah so uh but we the whole time i'm thinking we're

flying on a sunday morning because a legion i think it was allegiant they only fly in on sunday mornings at like 7 a m so i'm like we're going to be there in time for church let's find a place to go to church and I thought it would be so cool to like go to one of the guys churches. Yeah. Just again, a day in the life. And I like kind of was breezing through some old episodes. I could never like nobody ever mentioned any names of churches. And then literally the Wednesday episode before our trip. Brad's one of the week is his church. And he talks about the Nexza Baptist and like how much he loves his church and his pastor and the kids ministry. Wow. I didn't realize that. And so I was like, okay, well, we know where we're going to church. Yeah. So we hop in the rental car, head to McLean's,

get breakfast, head to Lennox of Baptist. A walk in. to check justice into children's church because he was like 10 at the time. And Sam, Sam Severs, right? Yep, yep, very good. He's like, hey, how are y'all doing? What brings you guys here? Who do you know here?

Yeah, it's like a, there's a podcast we heard about that. He's like, oh, Ghostrunners podcast. Yeah, Brad. And I was like, yeah, yeah. And he's just starts like texting on his phone. And next thing I know, he's like, yeah, well, I just told Brad that you're here.

And I was like, I don't know him. Well, I already told Brad code blue. Yeah, what we do here. And I give him the code. he comes up and greets with his fans it was like wild like how quickly everything just happened where i'm now i'm in a group text with brad and sam and he's like yeah he'll meet you in the lobby at this time or whatever because that morning i don't know if you remember brad but you were like going to see somebody to get baptized on a live stream or something do you remember this yes yeah

yeah sammy cool guy sammy that's awesome yeah but then we we ended up hanging out and just chatting for like 20 minutes and then we went to church together and then afterwards we went and picked up our kids together and then we said peace and went about it when then we hopped in the car experienced kids a city a little bit it's a great time yeah it was so that moment like meeting rachel and then hanging out with brad for 20 minutes and then going to church together and just that locked it in ghosty for life ghosty for life i love it dude goesie on second yes for life ghost is on second so good dude yeah it was it was so fun to meet i mean you never know it's like hey there's somebody here that i mean it's always like exciting it's like they're coming church that's

exciting but it's like it was fun to talk we it was very easy to talk to you like we talked yeah maybe 20 minutes I felt like it was an hour maybe it was not long it could have been it was a while but it was great man um it but at the end whenever we met so then I met your son at children's like in children's area and I think I said like I don't know why I asked this it wasn't like some self-serving I don't think at least maybe I should check my heart about it but I was like I knew he was watching jean short stuff I was like trying to have conversation I was like what's your favorite jean shorts video And did you say he kind of like froze or something? I feel like you kind of told the story like, yeah, I don't know if he said the right or I don't know, something like that.

Do you remember? He may have mentioned sheltered kid or something. Okay. Yeah. And it wasn't like a Brad one. So it was like, oh, I think he was a brown one. Oh. That's funny.

That's great. So all I had to say, all I'd say, well, long, long walk for a short drink of water. We're doing a shmores this episode of drinks of water. Gene Shorts Water episode. jean shorts videos what's your favorite jean shorts video so yeah uh fun topic good idea especially since caleb obviously found us through jean shorts found us through the shorts uh and yeah just go trip down memory it was kind of fun looking at i know all of our videos to remember all the ones we've done i got 11 on my list i was gonna say it was hard to narrow it down honestly um but i think

caleb since you are the the guest i think you should be able to go first if you'd like or you can you can choose the order how about that okay i choose your order you choose the order, whatever order you want. Brad J. Caleb. Okay. Coming in hot. All right. That means that I'm choosing my absolute favorite Gene Shorts video right now.

I think tough. I'm going to start with my gut inclination, which is every person at a coffee shop. Oh, okay. Classic. I think all three of us, it was fun, all three of us to be in the video and then we all had just like great characters that we played oh i'm sorry yeah we spilled those earlier no no i'll pick them up for you guys that's fine that's fine just work on that other coffee for me sir you know okay like i think we played it well like i think you did your you were like the corporate

guy at one point you were the ignorant coffee guy at one point like that's funny like that's like yeah i was i did some physical comedy stuff screaming on the yeah like screaming at i like licked a coffee bean off the ground at one point You're also the Bible study guy too, right? Yes, I was the Bible study guys. Trey and I did some singing together, which is always a good time. We're the soul trains. So that's, and I remember I feel like that one performed,

not that that's the reason one way or the other for any of these, but I feel like it performed as it should have. Like I was like, this is a good video. We went on location for it, like got kind of had to film in in public with other people watching at times or at least like a couple of baristas watching. Right. Right. So that's my first.

answer okay my first big is going to be every camp counselor uh-huh oh yeah so good that one was fun yeah it's fun in the moment i feel like uh derrick has been on record saying that was his favorite one that he filmed some fun to get to know you games everyone go around say your name where you're from and if you can have any sauce come out of your belly button which would you choose brad go first brad ellis shawnee kansas ragu just because i think he was enjoying it so much like he is almost like experiencing it as if you were for the first time it's like this is not to Derek but he is enjoying seeing what like how easily we're brainstorming like oh we could do this we could do this and it's like how we needed very little prep to get into every like character

we did like all right let's pretend we're greeting a kid who just got to camp if we let's pretend we're around a fire during yeah it was so easy if we did that today and it like popped off I think we would do you know 10 more iterations of it in short form and just like like because we could easily just spout off stuff like yeah you know yeah so easy I think I had a video I honestly I should just watch it again. One of us had a camp crush. You wanted Catherine and we were making jokes about how you should. Oh, yeah.

And we called the camp Camp Okochobie. And so he's giving you a Camp Okachubby. And that was kind of like off the dome. And everyone saw when Derek was filming, you could tell what he's trying to laugh. He'll just look away. And so you can just see in the corner of your eye, Derek just look it away.

That was always a sign of victory. Yeah. Like Derek is losing his mind right now. Yeah. You had a bit in there about like, how you had written a girl, like a bunch of different girls, like love letters. So no matter who you ended up with, you had like this great story. Yeah.

Which kind of is not, that's not what happened with Catherine at all. I've totally on the podcast, I think, where my first summer, you know, at Kanakukuk, it's really common to send people, well, not merely common, but they have, they call them goodies. So you can either send them throughout your camp or like throughout all the other Kanakut camps for free, these letters. and I just thought I started sending a letter to all the guys at camp and just like encouraging them my first summer and then I started a few times I sent it to a few girls off of you on

the other side of the boat and I was like you know what I'm going to make it a point to send a letter of encouragement to every single person at camp and so I sent a letter to every single girl and a lot of these girls interpreted it the wrong way oh yeah and so I don't remember if that was the reason we said that line in there or not but like a hundred and there were girls that were like what is this letter mean it said that he really enjoyed getting to know me at the you know world's fair party oh great and he's really encouraged by my positivity can you not schedule me and brad to be trampoline together again i don't want him i was like i was like because this girl came up to me spotting me again hey so-and-so you know just are you do you have a crush on

her i was like what no not at all no just trying to be nice baler yeah it's too far it's way too far texas i feel like it was kind of inspired by our friend josh who like does have a cool story of how he met wife and like wrote this letter and everything but we like to give them a hard time we're like how many other girls do you do that yes yeah anyway camp calcer video fun shoot when you said baler that reminded me of SBU and what does SBU stand for which college is that southwest baptist okay university but the university that part's kind of loose I mean there's not lot of school going on like like you said I don't know if it was this episode or last one but it's like there's I've been like a ghosty for a while but not long enough you're invested in

what you're invested in but there's so many things that you don't know about yet. Yeah. And I started back from the beginning, but I'm only like five or six episodes in. Yeah. But it's kind of cool because like episode four, I want to say, you met, uh, Jake mentions like, yeah, the other day, Trey asked me what my Mount Rushmore of, uh, fast food places is. And just like to hear like, oh, that's funny. Yeah. asking about Mount Rushmore and so it's years before. Yeah. Right. Yeah. All right. So this is. Sorry, wrong camera. Okay. This is like such a difficult list to whittle down to just a few. Yeah. There's so many great ones. I'm going to go number one pick because I love this one. And a recent comedian tried to do their own version of this one. Really?

It didn't land as great as this one did. Passive aggressive prayers. Oh. Oh, really? With Brad and Trey. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, has me rolling. All right. Let's go ahead and close in prayer. Trey. No, I'm good. You got it. Father, we come for you night and we just ask for Trey to not be ashamed to proclaim your name. And your name we pray. Dear father, a word's coming to me. I want to pray for Brad. And that your word says listening is one of the highest qualities. So just pray that he would stop blam-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-pb-pb. I also want to pray for Trey. You talk about how much you hate sloths,

and we just looked at the dictionary for the definition of sloth, and we found Trey's picture. Lord Jesus, we come to you, and we want to call out sin when we see it, and clearly Brad is a glutton. So just help him to eat less. Woo! Spirit's moving now, God!

That was, that's another one. I would want to watch right now, because I remember being in the room for that. It was so funny. I could be wrong, but if you're listening to the podcast, I bet we've, I bet, like we did a bit about that on the podcast before we did that video i could be wrong

you think that's where it probably started from i think so i because i've always been like people just gossip in their prayers sometimes like especially girls like they're just like you know please pray for you know for shelby's heart because i know pray for shelby because she's gaining weight and it's it's making her self-conscious she got into some bad stuff last week in god i just want to i just want to lift her up and make sure like so it's funny too because back in high school, Shelby actually wrote a drama for our youth group to do. And it was like these five or six girls sitting in a semi-circle. And the whole thing was about passive-rogressive prayer requests. And it was like how we use prayer circles for gossip so much. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I think you and Tray just did a good job. Yeah. Escalated it. Maybe got it like all in one take or like two takes or something. Even like how your posture would change. Like you'd sit up straighter and like. Right. Right. God, we come to you. Yeah. I got one more. Yeah. At the very end, it just ends with like about to fight right yeah good pick all right so passive aggressive prayers number one number two i'm going to go with things wives never say oh classic yeah that one's really really good shout out kirsty swick i think that was her idea really did we get some pizza going for the ufc fight later so sorry you're sick you probably feel horrible i have no idea what pain like that would feel like can i get you another blanket or a third cup of soup maybe was your idea

I don't know. I don't know whose idea it was, but I remember Kirstie Swick, I think I said, like, message to her and she sent us 20 ideas of things to put on there. Yeah. I had so much fun, like, just like writing some ideas. I was like so excited to have Rachel or Catherine say, like, I really want a Rottweiler. Like that was a line. I was like, I can't, whoever says it. That's going to be so funny. Like, we should adopt a Rottweiler. I think it was your idea. I kind of remember you mentioning it at Summer Moon one time. We were like going back and forth. She's like, I think this would be a really good one. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, yeah. that is one of my favorite ones because they both did so well and it

Catherine still talks about like every once in a while someone one of my friends will be like is this you in this video so fun somebody she hasn't talked to in 20 years whatever when Rachel's like I think I'm feeling good about this maybe we should bet some money on the game tonight yeah yeah put some UFC on or yeah or what Catherine say I have a headache but all power throws yeah so good bro. That was funny. That was like almost like Brad, do you want to film this one actually? I don't know if I should be filming it. I remember there's one where Catherine's in the car and she's like, no, no, no, get mad at them. Give them the finger if you want to. I think that was a little bit improvised. I don't know if we told her to say that. I don't know. She did great. Yeah, they both do really good job. So good. Good picks. Yeah. Josh. I'm going to go with the the Chiefs Parade videos. I had it on my list. Yeah. I guess either one works. I don't know if I have a preference. One or another but um are we done three just two two two okay two i think can we do the navy fight song real quick oh do no no no no no no no yeah so fun i mean very different than what we

normally do on jean shorts but also we knew what we were getting ourselves in too it's just really fun up to just drunk people at 10 a.m. and it's just a blast. When you race that kid? That's right. It saw him again the next year. Oh, yeah, that's right. The first time, though, oh, my gosh.

Oh, man. When I race that kid, I had a lav mic on, and it fell off, and I lost a step because of that. I was worried about it mentally. I was borrowing Derek's lav mic, and I was like, oh, I just broke his lav. I would have burned him if it wasn't for that. And you can't hear it very well, but there is a, there's a guy in the background that just goes, God is, but he doesn't say, but God is a.

Like this guy burned, like race. Because yeah, just come up to that kid, hey, you want to do a race, boom. That one, you, you edited for so long, like way into the night. I remember that. Yeah, I did. There's just a lot of, I mean, we shot for three straight hours and not a lot of wasted space. I mean, it's all pretty much like really fun and it's like, how do you even edit this? I think you put the like the blue, or maybe like the second edit of it.

the additional footage on Patreon. That's right. And it was like, this is kind of timely. Like, let's get this out ASAP. Yeah, it's fun. So fun. Okay, my next one is going to be Starbucks versus Duncan. Oh, yeah, Boston Brad.

I love that one. Boston, Brad. The coldest we've ever shot in. The employee, Marty, he's my guy. Yeah, sometimes he even has my coffee ready for me right when I walk in the door. I still have to pay him. I still have to pay him. Santerini McCluskey, Union Electrician, Union number one, two, four.

I do like my coffee suite. Just like my two kids. Persephone just had her first ballet recital and Herbert is about to start oboe lessons. Yeah, just like his dad. It's got to be an obo-sexual. Next week is my birthday here, so I'm gonna get a venty and might even take a half day off work. I could just serve it. Yeah, my birthday's tomorrow.

It doesn't matter to me. I've been going to work every single birthday since I was 12. The only free sugar I need is from Babs. It was miserably cold that day. Really? Yeah. I wasn't the guy filming or anything. I was standing there.

It was snowy, I remember. Yeah. That was fun. just because I love any time where there's like a dichotomy of like two different kinds of people just like just so different because it's so easy to write like a setup of a joke and a yeah whatever um and I just love I do like being that like whatever that accent people love to give me a hard time like that's not it's not really Boston that's not Boston it's not New York it's not anything it's just it's just an accent that you're making up but that one was easy that was the ones that are the easiest or most fun probably and then my next one is going to be kind of an original back in the day game nights

remember that one yeah we did have a lot of time with that one our mission to take down a shard of us we will drink his blood we will drink his blood I choose to take my evil scepter and take them all the way down to the library I'm going to harness the power

of Zeus' thunder in rain it down it's um it's a movie or it's like it's a movie like um there's like several of them tour story three no no no oh that is good though dude let's go come on um gosh what did we was it you and i or was it you and tray we saw toy story for are you serious no come on too that especially the like time where we get like super nerdy about some like random like game you know i think i remember being like i'll take you know i think i remember being like I'll take my evil septer you know whatever

just like anytime I could just get a little like over animated about something like that or I think it was who was it the one that did like the super long Trey was shaking the dice for forever

yeah that was so funny that was great for the reason that was so hard not to laugh it's like he's not even doing that way he's just like pretending it's the noise of like the just the casual of the face like yeah

this is crazy but I haven't seen that one oh really that's also the one that we do like the bad catchphrase that's right that probably did come for yeah yeah and we're just all right every house has it every house has it yeah yeah yeah this is like very early on like one of like first 10 first 20 videos and I think on the thumbnail it looks like the game of life yeah game nights so check it out man there were so many nights at home where we would just be on the couch like with youtube on the tv just scrolling and then like whenever like underneath it there'd be the suggested videos and just going through those but some for whatever reason the algorithm always

it gives you the same ones over and over so there's probably still so many I mean, but haven't been seen. Yeah. Fun. There you go. I'm going to go with sheltered kid in Vegas. Classic. That was one that I just did.

It was just me and Rachel. Oh, you think, I don't think this is where they film Prince of Egypt, do you? That's not the logo. So what's going on? All you can eat buffet? Yeah, not until I'm married. I think this might be alcoholic. And that was the first time really filming a video like that.

I think we were just dating at the time. But something about having Rachel as the audience more than even you, Derek or Trey. I was like, man, I really, I find myself really wanting to make Rachel laugh. And I was like, maybe through the video, I was like, I'm delivering things like better than I normally would. I'm just like getting into it more and kind of unlocked something. And so that was fun. Just her and I running around Vegas. I had those like crazy sunglasses on Rosedale Middle School shirt and just an iPhone.

had a blast it was great yeah it was like you're going to vacas you got to film this yeah this is a shelter kid was always popping every time did so well yeah that's that's dusty's that's justice's favorite really yeah um sheltered kid stuff so my my next one i'm gonna go with woke parent hmm another classic yeah jake as a woke parent and get that jean jacket in the orange beanie yeah like it's falling off his head yeah what does the dog say bow wow good okay and what does the fox say biased misinformation good yes we do not watch fox what do you mean why am i talking to you on zoom we are quarantining as a family individually don't take that tone do i have your consent to punish you okay no seen in for a week

and it was so timely like all the jokes were so good that was a fun one those are fun jockster right yeah I was going to say, Derek and I, Derek's so conservative. I'm plugged into the conservative world more. It's, I was like, oh, we could joke about Rachel Maddow. We could joke about all these different things. You guys are like telling me, I'm like about to say the line. And like, what, I'm going to say either way, but like, what am I saying? I don't understand this.

I remember Derek was always tried to do like vaccine stuff. We're like, Derek, let's just, let's keep it. Let's throw the line here, buddy. Like, he's like, what was, it was Iver. He's like, should we make some jokes about Joe Rogan and I, I was like no one else knows this except for you yeah it's like out of this room none of us three know about it just you so our audience probably doesn't know it super well yeah those are fun though because it's just like yeah just so easy to just kind of poke foot at those and that one not the woke

not the original woke parent but I think we did an update like woke parent in 2021 or whatever it was got us kicked off a patron TikTok for a while wow yeah just too many people reporting it or and it wasn't even that ridiculous I don't think it was not even like oh this is clearly offensive xyz but it was like yeah we got like four million views on it and then all of a sudden like your account has been banned and then we like appealed it and they're like oh sorry it was a mistake they gave us our account back but all of a sudden like we were what's called shadow ban basically like it was like we got 700 views on each of our videos for like a couple months it was wild it's too bad we did it for golf as well took the

jean jacket out to the golf course go golfer one time you know the white t's the black d you know there's a lot of options yeah I love when you're like you just take a knee like in front of the TV and then the joke about like yeah I get got a haircut I got the Rachel Rachel Maddo yeah that was a yeah that's a good joke who's yeah yeah why is this funny oh oh oh Rachel yeah yeah yeah whatever yes all right so my do I have my consent to punish you I remember that yeah yeah for the kid yeah anyway Oh, shoot, okay, this is my last pick, right? Is it?

Okay, I'll just go, Minnie Van Dad. Oh, classic, dude. With Brad Ellis. That was me and Derek just running around. Two, four, six, eight. So many cup holders. See you tomorrow, Brad. All right, thanks.

Thanks, Claire. Appreciate it. Yes. Bye, Millie. All right, thank you. Even that opening moment where, like, you say your intro line, and then there's like a cut to like a slow motion,

you're like swing open the chairs. That was all Derek. I mean, Derek got a little cinematic on a few of those clips. Let's do a couple slow more shots. You're like, man, seven,

eight, so many cup holders in this thing. That one's another one that just wrote itself. Yeah. Some of them are just, turn it on. Let me run free.

Yes, pretty much. It was just like, what do I like about my minivan? All these things. Yeah. And when you started naming names for it and you had like all these pun names for it,

I was like loving that because when we got our first minivan had that dad moment, I was like, what's a good name for this? It's last name Sullivan. This is the Sullivan. Oh, sure. Easy.

Yeah. Yeah, it's a layout. That's another one. We're just driving. I was like, just keep it rolling. I'll just think of a bunch and we'll just use some of them. Don't you dare turn that camera off there. That's fun.

The minivan, yeah. Good one. All right, similar to the game video, I wrote down, this is the Gulf Shores version of the types of, like, game night people. Love that one. We had so much fun shooting that. Yes. Dice off the table. You have to rerowel.

Dice off the table. You have to. re-roll. In you when it's like like a femur, like femur. You always compare me to dictators. You've always compared me to them. And it's just, I forget what else I'm supposed to say. Okay, we don't spend the same amount of time together. We, we don't ever play basketball anymore.

Pizza Fridays isn't a thing. everyone was great i i like specifically remember you like screaming at like sydney anderson i'm pretty sure yeah her keeping a straight face also you smacking was it jason morse correct with that like hard yeah yeah i was like i'm i'm selling out like he fell off the bench yeah yeah yeah and he stayed in character yeah yeah no yeah everyone did such a good job and we had a blast and that was just was that last years last year yeah that was fun that one and the beach one were really fun remember we did like every person at the beach yeah and you got the binoculars oh that's a shark yeah yeah yeah that's right and people like on the beach were like looking at us you're screaming

shark that's a great white that's a great white I think I just said that's a great white I'm telling you that's a great why we got evacuate good times all right my last one another OG is the 4th of July video yeah I had that run down It's like the second one we ever shot. Hey, for America! Yeah! USA! Hey, you want some weaters!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Be served and the battle will raise. I was born in the USA. I was hopped off the plane at LAX with my dream and my card again. Woo! Guy, America! And I gladly stand up! No, dude!

No, dude. No, not as that part of the song. Yeah, I think I really like, I guess three of the four of mine were like when we went on location. Like, that was always fun. Get out of the house. It felt a little bit more authentic or a little bit more like, I don't know, like special rather than like, okay, they're doing it in a different corner of the same room again, you know. But yeah, we got on a boat for that one. Somebody else's boat.

Somebody else's boat. Like that was not there. Like they were just like, yeah, you. can use the boat if you want to. And like beforehand, Trey seemed like he was pretty confident out of a boat. Yeah, I grew up on a lake, basically. Dude. Like when we were getting the boat out, I was like, are you sure you know how to do? And to his credit, once we got out there. Yeah. There were enough like red flags raised. We were like, why don't we just stay on the boat here and shoot it here? Like we got really close to doing that. It was like raised up on this like platform so

it didn't get wet, you know, whatever. And he, I was like, I could tell it. Like, you don't know as much about boats that I thought you did. Anyway, but we did it. It was fun. Yeah, wasn't too crowded out on the water and yeah. Yeah,

does us three and Derek random weekday and did that one in the air band just singing a bunch Yeah, that's fun. When you guys are

sitting around them with the guitar the guitar by the campfire thing Oh, seeing that Toby Keith's on. Yeah. And Uncle Sam puts his name. And then you just having

that little like hopped on the plane at L-A-S you know, just fun, man. But that was like, yeah, one of the first ones

we ever did. That one in the Airbnb's Yeah. same day great times same place we had our little retreat that one time a little retreat so anyway honorable mentions i got plenty of them yeah yeah things christians say was it fun easy one i put that one on the list i bet we wrote that one i don't know how long it took us to write it not very long and then we recorded it or like filmed it in five minutes it felt like it's like you do these lines i'll do these lines so so easy so quick that video only ended up being like two minutes long but i feel like it had

61 liars and they were so quick we had a thousand things to say yeah yeah it's like you Tim Tebow what about you yeah what about you yeah and in IV what about you oh and we made service what about you what about you we made a joke of like Baylor you know I think we talked about like I don't know what we said like something but but we were like we're like alluding to like we adopted you know let's see oh he's Nigerian one one to Mexico or one in Mexico Two in China and, yeah, one in Kenya. What about you? There's like one mission trip one and one like adoption one, I think.

Right. We thought he was Japanese, but he's Korean. What about you? What about you? What about you? It's just one of those master punch lines. Like if you just say it at the end, enough times, it gets people.

So that was fun. One of my favorites that I don't know how I didn't even name it in my schmores, movie cliches. Really? I wrote that down on my list. One of my top. I mean, time you could put it on i don't want to laugh my butt off really i love there's so many moments

about it but like especially the very like how the how the how the how the clip ends where it's like you and rachel yeah back and forth it's so much we had we had a hard time not laughing i remember we had to do i mean we don't have to do that many takes but i bet we had to do that one three or four times like to really like we got hey be serious seriously be serious because it was that was that home i'm going home or is that just like saying goodbye i don't remember kind of like the tone of it It might have been, I'll see you around. I'll see something like that, maybe. Yeah, you're like kind of saying goodbye.

Yeah, I don't remember exactly. But I loved how she broke character and like, so it was in the ratio of like widescreen or something and then like went back to normal and then she gets back into character and then the ratio changes again. Oh, yeah, we did the like the little bars or whatever. I'm talking about. That was cool. Rachel just posted on Instagram last night like a, uh, I saw this.

Okay, did you see she posted you on there? Yeah, it was a gift from that video. He's right behind me, isn't he? Didn't that like that gift has like a half a million like, shares or something. Shout out you ever made that. Probably Maddie Dieterly. Maybe. Who knows? That was great. Movie clichés was so fun. Starbucks husband. Starbucks husband was on my list at the end when you get the coffee poured on you. It was a long drive home. Sold out. Yeah. I was thinking that. I was like, did he bring a change of clothes at least? I should have. No, I remember those

jeans smelled bad for a while. Oh, wow. Yeah, that was a fun. I will say, not throwing shade too much, but Trey took that in a different direction. I think we were originally going to take it. I think, because, I mean, it was very, at least my initial idea for it was like the Target husband's one. Have you seen that? Yeah. And kind of similar. And I remember he just was like, how funny would it be if our wives just like verbally abused us?

Yeah. I don't know. That's what I, that's my favorite part of it. But like that's kind of the, yeah. I would say that's probably like the only like weak spot of the videos. And it's like a little too like, okay. Yeah. But it's mostly hilarious.

Because I love the parts where we're like, you know, Trey and I are kind of reminiscing about like how. and then we met Jake and we saw him and we like took him under our wing yeah like you kind of tell a story there's a little like mini documentary feel to it I love that but then you got Lindsey just screaming at us or Morgan like yeah pouring something on us but I guess there was there was some funniness to the the late it's it's for sure funny yeah I think he was really I remember him being like kind of like succession I think he was really into succession oh and he's like so he's like that's hilarious yeah we're like all right yeah yeah um five types of people out of fast food restaurant.

Yeah. I don't remember much about that one. That one was like eight minutes long. It was so long. It was like when we were like, let's see if we can just do a really long one. I remember. We filmed this at Chick-fil-A. Yes.

Super overexposed. Yes, super overexposed. Sorry about that. That Eminem. Was that like, was that really improv on the moment when you were doing the M&M rap thing? I don't think so. It was just so good. It was like, I kind of remember that being in video, but I can't, nothing.

A lot of times it's like we improv it like jokingly to each other. Yeah. And if it's like, oh, that's pretty good, do it. Like, do that. So it's like, it's like second hand improv. Like, it's like, we did it once and then let's do it. Like, if it's good enough. And a lot of times you can kind of like tell when it's like, okay, Jake kind of

pithy laughed at that, but I don't think it's good enough to put it in there. Yeah, yeah, three hits in. It's like, what if we did this? It's like, yeah, we could. Yeah, I think we got some other stuff in the years. So do you want to do it or, you know, whatever. And then when you're crawling through the play area? Crawling through that, like, play place with my, like,

car seat in my hand yeah yeah yeah yeah just stuff like I think those were like the two main ones I can remember you're doing like the very specific order you're like did a hop over the counter to like oh yeah yeah that's right yeah yeah you guys pretty sure said all of my honor mentions the only one I have left is just the conservative dad uh huh yes this class character I really like the one we did at the beach which is the same house that we are filming or not filming, going to the Ghostrunners Getaway at, at which we are going to the Ghostrunners Getaway. Sorry, Catherine.

Don't end with that. Reposition. And that one was fun because my father-in-law was in there with us. Yeah, he got in on it. One of my brother-in-law, Sam filmed it. But then we kind of made fun of, I was like, yeah, it's my brother-in-law, Josh. He wants his steak, like, well done, and whatever. And my brother-in-law's actual name is Josh, and we give him a hard time.

And so the rest of, like, Catherine's brothers. I mean, Josh is an in-law like I am. But, like, they all, like, oh, are. remember that time where you said the, that's my brother-in-law, Josh, you know, whatever. So that's a good one. I had the mechanics one. Oh, that's Rachel's favorite.

Yeah. Rachel and your whole family love that one. That's one of those ones that's like, that's a deep cut. Like, the algorithm did not like that one at all. But man, we thought we had a lot of fun with that one. I think a lot of times you are in a character, but it's always your same voice. It's not too different.

Yeah. That one was like, you are a different person. I was. I was something else that day. every union worker is another fun one Boston Brad Yeah just running and I remember you running around the street

Adjusting my hard hat and stuff Whenever you're talking off camera To like another like imaginary Yeah yeah Yeah right love those moments Yes Every type of teacher Another fun one like kind of original

Oh yeah Down to the basement Yes I think that was the one where I remember being like Talking about atomic palms or something Like we're got to do it Something drill Right around that time

I was basically Mr. Lamping I was like that kind of character. Hello, Claude. Yeah. We did every type of like waiter or something in a restaurant and that was a fun one. We shot like maybe that same day.

Yes. I remember me like going crazy. Yes, I'm not Parmesan cheese. And Trey was just being exactly his mom. What's your name? Enrique. Enrique. Enrique.

Enrique, that's a fun name. Quista Diaz. Yeah, so good. Small talk. Small talk. Oh, yeah. A small talk guy for you're just like, do you like it? Small talk is the worst or something.

Do you like it? consulting. Try to remember anything else from that except for, do you like it? I know. Do you like it?

I had the bridesmaise versus groomsman. Yeah, the girls were great. Girls were great. I feel like, I always like it whenever you and I

get the opportunity to be on screen together. Yeah, that is nice. Like the times where like we were supposed to be walking slowly towards the camera.

You remember that? Yeah. It's like slowly. Okay. Yeah. You're going too fast? Yeah. No,

you don't go in slow motion. And that was when I accidentally forgot pants. And so I was wearing my joggers. Joggers. Remember that?

Which is so perfect. We're our groomsmen. Right. We like made that into the... That was unplanned. That's awesome. Yep. I liked every type of dieter.

That was really funny. I don't remember much about that one. Me neither. I'm not good at like recalling all the lines, but it was really funny. I'm trying to think. Yeah. Somebody that starves themselves probably and it's somebody that's... Right.

Some guy who's always on the newest health trend. Right. It's funny. I don't remember that video. The guy who orders a bunch, but he gets a diet Coke. Yeah. Yeah. It offsets.

The last one I had written down, which is the original sheltered kid. That was the first time, like, we really felt like, oh, we found something. Like, really original. Yeah. Oh, cool. This goes super viral, and this is, like, our character, and we can do this a bunch. Shelter kid gets married. Yeah, all those were great.

Shelter kid to the college party. Oh, that was a little ghosty get away. This apple juice tastes kind of funny. Yeah, right. That was fun to do. Yeah, the first ghosty get away. The Airbnb's one was classic, another fun one. and then the one that I was like this one's just my favorite that man did it flop

was the pun guru oh remember that one dude we got you so dressed up and weird and like you just like we're like giving the perfect Instagram captions yeah and forgot about that one I try not to think about that that one's like don't watch this with Rachel um yeah I think that's to mirror the girls video every like there was the every woman's perfect man that you guys did you had like oh okay a bunch of things yeah that was a good one too oh city people and country people i like that one a lot too derrick and i went out to like this farm and like that's one where i sat on that horse and it like bucked me on oh yeah um yeah that was fun i just had like a tootsie roll in my mouth the whole times what i had dip in that's great

it's just fun to like assume a character that's like somewhat adjacent to you but like i'm definitely not that guy you know yeah yeah I have the overalls and like whatever the carhart hat and stuff but one that I was going to include on a technicality and I thought it might be like too much of a like just to win it like a landslide was uh jake's wedding video uh yeah we did up on that but it's such a great wedding video and like especially we just watched a couple weeks ago um when brad's doing like the intro oh so good oh my gosh the uh what's his name david adenborough yeah yeah first time i watched the wedding video. I thought Brady went and hired or found some AI

voice generator. Like, oh, it's Brad. Who actually filmed all of that? My friend Brady. Yeah. Yeah. He doesn't make wedding videos, but I convinced him. He did a good job. Yeah, it was really well done. And the wedding looked awesome too. It was all right. Springtime in Iowa, baby. It was awesome. It was so fun. Nice day. Nice weekend. Golf on that morning.

Oh, yeah. Josh Mayer was in the cart with me. That was awesome. Josh Mayer is the best. Yeah. Having a kid. Yeah. Shooee! What's that smell?

Honestly, sorry. Why is Caleb laughing? I don't know. I was just, I burnt the beans. Whoa, dude, did you burn the beans? Yeah, that's what they were starting to say now. It's like, oh, did you, uh, barking spiders? I don't know, barking spiders, but I burnt some beans.

What does I smell? Oh, sorry, I burnt some beans. Air that out, dude. dude we're in a small room you don't burn beans in here come on stop burning your beans yeah so if you don't know this is kind of a new like gin Z thing

where basically if you had coffee earlier in the day and then some of it comes out of you it's called burning beans burning the beans burning the midnight beans yes they use a hashtag for it yeah be the BTMB

burning the midnight beans but it's something we've been doing yeah we burn the midnight beans sometimes we do and even if you're not burning the beans, even if you're just roasting the beans, even just drinking beans. Sniffing beans. Siffing beans. You've been sniffing beans lately, bro? You've been all right? Not a night, but yeah, I'll sniff a few beans. Yeah, before I have breakfast. That's good. Sniff those beans, boy. Yeah, you can sniff

beans for 10% off. No way. Yeah. Yeah. And I want to make sure it does it. That doesn't mean you're going to sniff 10% less beans. You get the same amount of beans. You're going to pay 10% less for those beans. So you have to sniff less money to sniff more beans. Yep. And then you burn the midnight beans after you roast the beans in the morning. And depending on your gut health, you might burn your own beans. We're talking about Main Street Roasters, by the way. Yep, that's the coffee company. They sell coffee and they sell beans, which is crazy that we were talking about burning the midnight beans. And now it's like a sponsored thing. That kind of correlates to the minter's things. It's wild. So they do have the best beans this side of the Mississippi. The other side of the

Mississippi, you were in New York. Yep. You checked their beans. you burn their bean i wasn't super impressed by their beans so let's say good rancher says the best beans this side or either side of the mississippi now as far as on the mississippi goes not willing to say international waters no no way of no jurisdiction there but uh maiturosters dot com to get your best beans

that's right today 10% off gyrrkc see his channel lately dude is crushing it let's go was that juggling josh uh no golf and josh my bad different josh before your time apparently he was on the podcast one time oh he was a guest yeah I actually tried to find that these videos exist of you on the Juggler and Josh channel is that still out there

they do yeah I mean you got kids man I don't think it's worth your time there's a lot of better things you can be doing yeah it's not worth your time don't look up Jake Triplett juggling Josh right now you don't need to do that you don't need to do that you got old ghost nerds episodes you get Gene Schwirt videos to watch yeah you do you do there's plenty to that's fair They sell a lot of world records, though. I watched a couple of Ellen We Bottle Limos. I watched like four episodes, and then I skipped ahead to like when you guys were actually

on Ellen. Yeah. Same. There's a lot in between. I didn't. Yeah. There's like good nuggets in there. But for most part, it's like, man, if I knew what I knew now, I could have done so much

better. It just like was what we had or editing or shooting or everything. But at the same time, it was like, the content was kind of the back burner. It's like, let's make sure we have a good time first and then kind of post whatever. And you were not really in the videos very much, were you? Yeah. because the guy we tried to hire to be a filmer.

Was also something else. Yeah, he's down near somewhere near West Palm Beach, I think. Oh my God. So yeah, I end up just being the camera guy the whole time. Oh, my. Anyway.

That's been our schwarz. Any else you want to wrap it up with, Jake? There was one car ride in New York City where two magical things happen. One. Club Limo. T.J. C's do you guys know the name davis clark this is this guy who's on instagram who has like the spiky

hair and he went viral because he was just like always talking about like later today i've got a meeting with the heavy hitters and they don't want to know what i've been up to late at night working on spreadsheets and like you showed us this guy one time i was so early on this guy yes and he's like since blown up he crapped his pants running a marathon and like film ball and everything i mean full on just like didn't stop just brown oh no okay brown on the ground no i have not We saw him running in New York City. No way. TJ's like, that's that guy who does the thing.

I was like, Davis Clark. That's your boy. That was fun. Saw him. That same car ride. We're just like, we're driving very slowly past like a car like tent shop. And a guy like a probably 50-something year old guy is like posing in front of his car. Just like such a nice moment, a wholesome moment.

This guy is so proud of his new car. And he's posing in front of it while the guy who worked on it's taking a picture of him. And so like one of his yells out the window. know like hey i love the new car and he was like hey you're the friday pickleball guys oh right let's go what and only like a couple people in the car heard him say that so i was like no he didn't yeah no he said you're the friday pickleball guys it's electric that's new york cities awesome it's yeah if you could put up with the pigeons in the dirt and the trash and like never seeing grass for four days concrete jungle have you heard that it's awesome yeah put all those things

aside. It smelled fine. It was beautiful. It was like 74 degrees the entire time we were there. Is that just all of America? Just last weekend. Yeah. It was perfect. It's beautiful. Not Tampa. Down by the Bay. In Tampa Bay where it's humid all the time. That's fun though. Yeah, a great car ride. Did you have any crazy homeless man stories? No, I didn't see that many. I don't know if we were in like a nice. Actually, I think we were in a nice part of Brooklyn. We stayed across the street from the Barclay Center, like where the Nets play. And the Liberty. Thank you.

It's in season for them. So no, not a ton of homeless. And we walked a bunch. We got tired of doing Uber's and didn't want to figure out the subway. So we were like walking miles to go to like dinner, meet up with people. So a lot of walking, not a lot homeless. When we were there, we took the subway. It was a Sunday morning and we were at Wall Street and we took the subway from Wall Street like to head towards, what's it called?

I forget, it's somewhere north. Anyway, we're in the sub and the first subway ride, getting the, car sit down and it's kind of packed and all the way at the very end which is like 12 feet from us this homeless guy like starts to try to start a fight with this other guy and the guy is just like sitting down with his head down and he's just trying to ignore it trying to ignore it and this guy's just yelling out of him he's like just pick he's just trying to pick a fight he just try and i'm just i have our like one year old baby oh in like in the carrier and shelby and her mom and we're just like what's about to happen what's about to so like on the next stop we got out of

there and then like the next day when we're staying uh down towards time square we're like the same area that i saw uh what's his name david keckner uh right around the corner turn the corner and broad daylight another homeless guy just peeing on the wall really just right there just so i have a lot of crazy uh no shame yeah this is true i guess the homeless are mainly like probably underground in new york city and that's why i didn't see him i didn't take this that way oh you didn't they're below us scott and i were also geeking out from a city planner perspective. Like, when did they build all this infrastructure?

Like, when New York City, like, became popular, did they start building Subways underground? Or did this happen after the fact? Like, when did they dig? And how did they know? It is amazing. There's so much happening underneath you at all times in New York City. It's awesome. It's crazy to think about.

Truly. That, I read that book, Devil in the White City. It's about, like, basically when Chicago was becoming Chicago. Okay. It's pretty interesting. Yeah. That stuff's cool. Yeah.

Like, crazy. So, yeah. Just like that subway system has been around for a long time, and it has stood the test of time. Like, it's very impressive. Seriously. I can't wait for the book about Stratford. Yeah.

How they built this. Remember? Yeah, remember when Stratford was just a two stoplight town? Yeah. One stoplight. Now it's four. We're, we're, let's write a book. Doubling up.

All right. I don't have anything else that I want to talk about right now, except for my comment and win. Okay. You may go. All right, my win of the week, is a few different ones. One is like my sister was in town

and she came and helped us when Bo had just gotten back from the hospital. She came and brought us a meal, really sweet. Second one of the week was I went to the storage unit place where I said I had an issue, getting my U-Haul in there, and I just very sweetly, very, you know, laid on the old Big Daddy charm.

And I said, hey, do you mind if I can get just a different unit where I can access it better? And they said, sure. And so it stunk. I had to move a lot of my stuff again, but totally worth it. So now I'll be able to get the U-Haul in there. Big win. Big win.

Big win. Big win. And I was like, surely people ask you this a decent amount. And she kind of very kindly was like, yeah. So she knew it was a problem. So that was a big win though because it's like, okay, that makes the world difference. That's great. Yeah.

My one of the week, the very last thing we did in New York Sunday afternoon is we all sat down. I wanted to film like, um, I talked about it with Matt on the episode where we shot in Vietnam, but I was like, let's sit down and shoot like the story of Friday. And it could maybe be a YouTube video someday, but if nothing else, like we could put it on our website.

We can make some short form like videos of this. We could like send it out to customers like, let's tell our story more because it is like a crazy story. And just in the midst of telling it, you just become thankful all over again. Yeah, yeah, this is so crazy.

These are such great guys. It's crazy happenstance hall has happened. And God knows what he's doing. And I don't. And it's just crazy. You know, like, so it was just fun. I was like recap it.

It was the last thing we did. Film that went straight to the airport. Cool. Thankful. Yeah. It is amazing. Change my life. Yeah.

You got to win? Yeah. I'll say to that. Even recently Shelby and I were having just a conversation and your story just about how like you're going so hard with Bondi and like all this stuff and it's just not working out and then at a like, then you just start like a fun pickleball video channel. And then it becomes this huge thing that you had no idea it was ever going to become. Yeah.

And just like how God works, like in those ways that you just, sometimes you have no idea what's around the corner. Yeah. Just using that as an encouragement to just like keep on trusting the Lord. Like his ways are better than ours. Totally. And if anyone wants a truck, let me know. There you go. You got a storage unit.

Honestly, storage unit, maybe I could use your truck as a storage unit. Let me know. I rent it out and drive it to South Dakota. Yeah, how many tables or bed frames can fit in it. honestly maybe a lot what's your win in the week 100% this right here right now oh coming down yeah coming up yeah flying to kansas city last night
