This is that. Wow. We want to start with that. Sure. I don't know what's going on in my life. It's a habit. It's becoming like, either something's wrong with my throat

or something's wrong with me. Because almost every single day when I'm chewing and eating something, I get something stuck in the back of my throat that is not fully swallowed. I have to make that noise. And Catherine gets so mad at me because it's disgusting.

Okay. But also, I'm not doing it on purpose. Am I not chewing it well enough? You think I'm just like, I don't know. Too aggressive? I don't know.

We had a couple puppies get dropped off at the farm, and they kind of had this problem. They kind of just like yacked. Yeah, like it's like, I don't think you're really eating anything. What are you doing? Just going straight to the back of your throat and coming back up. Yeah, I don't know. Like a young dog. It's like, it's not something that I can't, like, live with.

Like, I could, I could breathe through it if I'm, like, in an event or a public space with somebody, but I'm like, I am very uncomfortable with this right now. Do you swallow pills? Yeah. Do they ever get caught halfway? Yeah, every once in a while. But I think we've talked about how, like, I can swallow a lot of pills. Oh, yeah, you really got, you swallowed 25 Legos in one gold.

I think I could, I could swallow a lot of pills. So, like, when they do get stuck, it's because I did some big pill that doesn't have the, you know, shiny stuff on the outside. You know what I mean? It's a matte finish. It's not like I just accidentally do it. Like, and I should probably just drink some water. Maybe that would help wash it down. But instead, I just act like.

like a, yeah, dropped off puppy. I have a mouth problem and then time and I think we'll get to yours after this. Well, yours is obvious. Mine. You can't say rural. I've been noticing probably the past month or so

I have found myself like just feel like my mouth has gathered more saliva than it can hold and I found myself doing a little bit of like suctioning back in. You notice kind of like a really?

Just like, I don't know. It just I didn't naturally swallow. I made too much. Oops, we made too many. Lulu lemon, half off sale. Oops, too much saliva. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I just find myself quietly kind of like, use our promo code, Gleek 10. Yeah, I just like, it's like, it's building up on the sides and I just got to get it back in. You've talked about how you are a high producer of saliva in the past. Every dentist I've ever had. And they're like, good job, man. Yeah. And now it's like to the point where you're like, I'm worried it's going to. I can't shut it off. Yeah. I can't get the hose to quit.

Okay. Timing. Timing? I was trying to think of a mouth problem I think my main mouth problem is I'll think of words too fast Way faster than I can say them And then I'll too smart Must be nice guys

Must be nice So I just think I just can't keep My brain is so quickly like firing My brain like it's more of a brain problem It works at a higher level than most people Uh uh oh Ooh I think this tight beat means that it's going down With some random thoughts in white

Me too Midwest best friends Eating fast food on repeat So come along Let's have some fun And go ahead Get on your feet Because this is a ghost From a podcast

Oh my morning We're taking around Ghost from a podcast Well for a podcast Well here we are back with our mouth problems Brad, what are you drinking over there? Main Street Roasters Mm-hmm

Olipop vintage cola Which I told you earlier It doesn't taste like Cola at all. If vintage cola is Coca-Cola, right? Should be. Coca-Cola classic is will be vintage cola. This tastes, I'm going to try to figure out what it tastes like. It doesn't taste bad. It just doesn't taste anything like it's supposed to taste. Does that make sense? What's it tastes like? Robitussin. It tastes like it's got some kind of spice or something. Like, also has a little piece of plastic

on top of it. Yeah, it's got like some kind of like spicy, like, not pepper you know but like nutmeg no um gingery kind of oh like you know ginger ale yeah it's like dark ginger ale okay it's like if um like affirmative action ginger ale you know some people like some like yeah like black people or white people like like like black people sometimes black people is like a candace owens of got it you know what i'm saying i understand it's like yeah not jason William's basketball. That's more like ginger ale, probably. Yeah.

And this is more like, yeah, just tastes fine. I don't know. Got it. Anyway. I had a holiday drink as well this past weekend. We had to leave Dallas. I think we left at 5.30 a.m. So very early morning, getting back on the road.

In the cyber truck? Yeah. I can't wait to hear all about it. Our first stop was, you know, a supercharger in Oklahoma City. We stopped at this kind of gas station. and then, you know, I'm in the checkout lane getting something, you know, I'm big on, like, I can't go to the restroom and not buy something. I got to support them.

I'm big on that. So I'm just, like, looking around, and I see a holiday Coke, vanilla Coke, holiday cream. Actually, I don't know what order these words were in, because it would have been Vanilla Coke Zero holiday cream edition. I said, sure, it's about lunchtime. I can go for a little Coke. I'm driving. I looked down. We love Vanilla Coke.

It was 8.45 a.m. I thought, it's three hours from when you woke up, therefore it's lunchtime. I've been awake so long. Yeah, I was like, no, I mean, a Coke is fine, especially right now. So now that I buy the Coke Zero Vanilla Holiday Cream at 845. I also got suckered into buying a candle to support the local AAU basketball team. A candle. Got home with it, showed Rachel.

She said, that's nice. You did that. Can I go ahead and throw this away? And I go, yes, none of them smelled good. Oh, really? Because I'm like trying to be nice. Oh, let me find one I like. And I go, ooh, not that one.

You can't try more than three. What is that? Wheat eater? Jeez, what is? And then I kind of just go back to the first one. Actually, the first one wasn't that bad. I read these next few. So I just buy that one.

And then I'm like, maybe it'll smell different when I get home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, yeah, we're going to throw us out. I'm like, that's fine. They have our money. Anyway, maybe like, maybe they, you didn't realize if it's like a centronella candle, like one of those ones that like repels mosquitoes. You have to have it outside.

You know those ones? I bought a tiki torch. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, I don't know what it was or who made it. Yeah, that's a tough. Like, yeah, you're like, I'm going to find one that smells good. After the third one, you have to choose. Like, you can't just, you can't keep trying.

Yeah, because the other things were like box of chocolates. And I was like, sir, it's 845. I would never. That'd be crazy. Indulge in that this early in the morning. So now I'll just take the fresh linen candle. I know that culturally, it's, it's, it's, wrong to drink carbonated beverages like that that early.

But we're doing so many other things that early. Do we really need to, like, stigmatize that? Like... I think it does come down to the stigma. Because donuts have pancakes, muffins. They're all branded as breakfast foods. Vanilla lattes even. Like, that's super high in sugar.

Yeah. That's just, like, drinking a five-hour energy. Yeah. First thing in the morning. It's like, hey, you like your caffeine in coffee form? I like my caffeine in vanilla Coke Zero cream Slush holiday edition. Yeah, Oklahoma City version. How was it?

It tasted exactly like vanilla Coke, no complaints. Okay. Yeah, I nursed that baby for the next seven hours probably. I really drank it slow. It was good, though. Seven hours? I mean, it was in there for a while. Like, I had opportunities to throw it away.

I'm like, there was like an inch left. I was like, well. Did you drive for that long? I was sleeping. Tell us the whole experience. This was kind of, I need to tell my dad about this because he always gives our Uncle John a hard time. My Uncle John, your coach, a hard time,

because we've gone on so many road trips together. You know, my dad drove all of us to Vegas and back. No one took turns because my dad, and this is what I saw with Isaac, where Isaac would be like, dude, hey, you just let me know. I can drive any time. I'd say, okay, hey, thanks for let me know. And about the next time I look over at Isaac,

he's sleeping and drooling and twitching. I'm like, I don't think he's ready to go. Yeah. I think he's very tired. I told you, yeah, the time where Isaac just like, what did he do with his hands in South Dakota? Oh, he's twitching. Like, whoa.

This was not like an accidental like, oh my gosh, you were doing something there. Yeah, very twitchy. Very twitchy, which is not surprising for Isaac. And it was also like a cyber truck. I have a lot of experience driving electric car. So on the way down there, most of it was at night. I'm like, I'm not going to have one of these guys just get thrown into a trimotor cyber truck with construction.

And there's basically no steering wheel to this thing. I mean, there's nothing to work with. I'm not going to make. make them do that. But then I was like, but on Saturday, I might need a little help. But honestly,

yeah, it was fine. You trucked, you trucked along. You know, trucked it. You trucked. I was going to say trudged.

Is trudged like slow, though? Sludged. Trudged. I think trudged is a word. Trudge. I mean, we did trudge all the way back. There was a,

there was one big truck. I forgot the time it was there. Oh, he was there all the whole time. Oh, yeah. He said the whole time. Yeah.

He saw me drink the vanilla Coke. I'll tell you one thing. This is such champagne, problems, but there's a, I think based on which Tesla you have, there's like different rules. Okay. So mine's a little older. So mine allows me, let me try and explain this easily, there's a, every test that comes

with like the kind of basic autopilot, we're like, if you're on the highway, it'll do a good job. It'll stay in the lane and that's about it. Yeah, it'll slow down. It'll speed up. It'll go at the speed you want in the lane you want, but that's it. And there's a full self-driving package. it's like super expensive. I've never paid for it.

Every now and then they'll give it to you for free for a month. And there are aspects of that that are kind of nice. I mean, they can do city driving, stoplights, park for you, go through a drive-thru for you. It'll change lanes. It'll exit. I mean, it does everything for you.

However, one thing it doesn't do, so in my car, I've got a camera looking down at me. I'm allowed to duct tape over that. That's right. No harm, no foul in my car. There's like a hack of like, because the idea of the camera is like, it's trying to make sure you're looking up everyone.

in the newer ones. I think initially this was like an insurance thing. Like if you were to get in a wreck, we could look at this camera and see if you're on your phone or not. I think that's what was initially used for. And then software updates come along and this camera gets used for different things. So in the new car, if you, oh, it does not like the duct tape method. You're going to need to uncover that camera. And so what you also have to do is you can't look away from the road, which I know is good. That's a good thing. Obviously. Look at the road the whole time. But boy, when you're not driving, looking at the road is like pretty agonizing. You just, I mean, just sitting there, can't look at anything.

I mean, just have to stare straight ahead, whole way down, whole way back. Just this, just made my thoughts. How quickly would they get on to you? This one wasn't like threatening to throw me in jail or anything, but it would like, I mean, if I got side, there's one time truly I got sidetracked by a windmill, which shows you how eager I was. What kind of crops they're doing over here? I really was. I was like, it was turbines or something else.

And how do they? Uh-huh. They always must go that direction. Yeah. How do they know where to be? Beep, beep, beep. Oh gosh. How long was that?

That could have been that long. It's a wind turbine. Is it a five seconds? Like five to ten seconds. Seattle would be like, eyes on road, Mr. It kind of does one of these. Did you try this?

Try this action? Put the phone up there. Oh, straight ahead. It's good. It, like, knows what a phone is. I think there's like there's like some AI. Okay. Because I swear, I'm like, I have sunglasses on, phone out in front, and it's like, eyes on road. It's like, you don't know. Oh, yeah, sunglasses. Yeah, they still help more. They wouldn't. In the middle of the night, I still had them on. Still beefing at me. Things are polarized.

It's self-driving. You're fine. But like I said, champagne problems. I mean, the self-driving was great. I mean, I really didn't have to do that much other than stare straight ahead. It was like I was in time out the whole way down the whole way down. It was like I was in time out the whole way down. Yeah. We had a blast on the way down. It was great. Kind of a rough start. Just Scott had a, we picked up the car at two, and Scott's like, hey, I just why I have a call from two to three. I was like, great.

He's like, I'll price that shotgun. I was like, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I mean, you have to take the call, so you come up here with me. And then right away. Unbelievable. Scott. Isaac's in the back. He's like, dude, that video game.

We haven't left the parking lot. And he is obsessed with these video games. I realize now he was on camera, so that makes sense why he was like. being what he was. He's acting like a five-year-old. No way! But I'm like trying to figure out this crazy car for the first time. And Scott's on a call.

Isaac's freaking out. Dude, buggy racers too! Like, we just shut up! Oh, dude. I get out of the parking lot. And the video game is like definitely connected to the speakers. It's like playing super loud on the car. They have control of the volume in the back.

Terrible design. They can go off and down however much they want. And yeah, Isaac's screaming. They're having a blast. I'm trying to get out of this crazy intersection and, you know, looking left. And anyway, by the time we get to the highway, which is 0.3 miles, yeah.

Isaac's like, ooh, I'm getting carsick. It's like, he is a five-year-old. Ooh, can we roll down a window? Wow. Can we get some air back here, please? Can we get some air? Just any kind of air. Really?

So the first hour was, um, I mean, It was fine, but it was a little bit of, like, you have those, like, pre-roadship, like, endorphins almost, and it's like, keep it as Scott's on the call. Dude, that's a tough. It was a bummer. You know, obviously not Scott's fault. Once again, champagne problems, but it's like, uh, like, we just have to be quiet. Like, just kind of pretty quiet at first hour. It was Scott, like, pretty active on the call. You know, he was, we're just listening. Yeah. Um, every time and you might say something. Every once while I hear those calls with him and I think to myself, that is the worst thing and sounding thing in the world. Doesn't it just sound like,

Oh, I just, all right, that's soul-sucking, man. We're working towards, I think it's, we're near the end of those days for Scott, which is very exciting. I know, which is exciting. But, yeah, so. It did just kind of seem like he hated us. Like, we, one of us would make a pretty great joke and he's just like staring his computer. Like, Scott, don't distract me.

Because he was on the call, yeah, someone pointed out, like, it seems like he just is not having any of this. Because he's got his AirPods in. Uh-huh. We're all laughing about something. It's hilarious. I just can't even hear us really. Oh, I remember back

So Scott's dad had he worked from home his whole life pretty much Like kind of an OG as far as working from home Like traveling salesman slash like had a little office in his basement And you know his dad was awesome He would like take us places play basketball with us all the time after school But every once in a while he would get a call while we're driving somewhere There were a few times where Scott and I basically were you guys Like just like joking around making something

And a few times, he got off the phone. He's like, you guys cannot do that anymore. Like, because we were just like, kind of like saying things in the background, like, hey, tell them. And every once in a while, you've heard Scott's laugh. It's like, if you say the right joke, it's over. Like, we got to see Scott's laugh. I'm thinking of, dude, where do we stop?

Isaac got to pee somewhere. We stopped at a Dollar General. Dude, what was the name of that town? It doesn't really matter. But I think, I mean, this was like, oh, yeah. Almost like a New Hartford, Iowa. Like the only thing they have is this dollar. General. I can't believe we stopped there. I forgot what it was called. Shoot, I can't remember.

But, I mean, right away, Scott was like, look at the cars in this parking lot. I mean, most of them, like, don't have paint anymore, or, like, the axle is different than the front of the truck. It's like two, some sort of Dr. Seuss car. And then our, you know, dumb little cyber truck. I mean, it's hilarious looking. And while Isaac's in there, he said he had to pee. It was a long stop. We are playing around on the screen. And we're like, looking at this, looking at this. And my other five-year-old Scott, uh, figures out the fart function of the car. And oh my gosh, did he have a blast? What exactly? Yeah, tell me more about the far. So I think the, um, the, the horn is not like a typical horn in a car, which we've talked about that before. And it's very confusing. It's

like, what is a car horn? In a, uh, in the Tesla's like a speaker, right? Yeah, it's just like an exterior speaker. So you can change that to be anything. You could make it, uh, you could record your own whatever. Hey, hey, hey, hey, miss you. but it's also got some preloaded things. And so you can change your horn to be a fart sound. And there's like eight different types of farts. Oh, so he was going through the last. I was letting him rip.

Yeah, literally. And Scott was crying. He was crying sard. He was crying at the anticipation of me doing it to someone. Oh, so you were like, somebody would walk by and you'd do it. Yeah, there were like these two Amish guys to our left. It's got like, do it, do it. He was like in tears.

the idea of this prank because we've heard it a couple times. You have to do it. I do like that, Scotty. That's pretty hilarious. It was great. And time it's filming the whole thing. Yeah, were you just, did you document so much this weekend? On the way there, kind of yeah. I mean, I just like filmed everything. Really? It's kind of awesome. Yeah. It was a good vlog. Do it. I mean, we laughed. We had some really good times. There was, there was one time where I think, you know, I'm nine hours into my time out. So when we do stop to charge. I'm like, I got to respond to people. So I'm on my phone in the, and we've been driving for a long time.

We're like, we're in like, probably between Dallas and Sherman, and we need one last stop to charge. Dang. And so those three go into the gas station and I stay in the car and Scott just gets back in the car and he goes, if people don't like this vlog, they're not going to like anything. And I go, gosh, what did you guys do in there? What did I miss out on? So the story goes that Isaac, for some reason. my other five-year-old. So he was like, oh, cool, live bait.

Well, he's on camera. So he's going to do anything that he thinks he might want to do. I think that's what I realized. You put a camera on him, they'll just do the most random stuff. It's true. Yeah, time he raises his arms.

I'm like, I'm on it. Here we go. I'm on it. I'll be your little circus boy. What do you mean? Yeah. Until he goes to the refrigerator that's got live bait in it.

Yep. Now, I know what live bait means. Do you guys know what live bait means? I, I'm not. 100% sure, but I have a strong guess that it just means worms. It's hard to tell because it's not like described exactly in what it's called.

It's very misleading. Fair. Yeah, I know it's specifically it's for fishing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And Isaac's done a good amount of fishing. I would almost guarantee this guy has bought live bait before. For some reason, he claims

I was just not expecting to see worms. So he opens up the box, sees a couple worms to get out, and just freaks out. drops the, like, you know, box of dirt and worms just all over the gas station. It's fully upside down. So dirt just flies in every direction.

Worms flying and is splatting against the window. So he starts bending down being like, oh gosh, oh gosh. Well, when Isaac gets in that position, he starts to get a nose bleed. So now he's bleeding into the worms. And Tyler is filming the whole thing. No. Oh.

Oh, no. Oh, my gosh. You're right, Scott. If people don't like this, they don't like anything. That is amazing. Yeah, so that was great. He also came back into the car with scratch-offs. He became obsessed with that. So we were big. I was like, yeah, dollar scratch-offs. Everyone scratch them and film them and didn't win much. That's great. That's amazing. Gosh, I can't believe the worms thing is hilarious. Oh, it was so funny. Yeah, I've got skittish on the live base. when he just, yeah, what was he expecting? Live. I don't know. It's not worse.

I watched the video back. I mean, he really did. Like, it looks like a true reaction. I want to say, you know, he was going to be frozen and they were going to like come to life when they thaw? Like, just heat them up. Just heat them up and they'll start going. I want to say,

I want to say you opened a couple of the small worms boxes and was totally fine, but opened a night crawler box. Okay. And maybe one of them like moved immediately. And he was like, oh, like he didn't expect that. I don't know. They were all live, though. So, I don't know.

I mean, My knowledge of live bait is very minimal, so I don't know what a night crawler is. Big old worm, huge worm, yeah. Got it. So it just freaked him out a little bit more, maybe. Man, I'm so glad it's on video, though. Yeah, boy, he spazzed. Hey, here we go.

First to add, don't touch that dial, though. Whoa, whoa, whoa, they're touching it. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop, stop, stop, it's getting too loud. That's what you get for touching the dial. Skip ahead, 15 seconds. Yeah, we're still here. We still haven't started.

Nice try. skipped ahead 15 seconds where they're going to do it again gosh it's only hurting you it hurts me more than it hurts or it hurts you only so that's the ad and that's it all right back to the episode okay good ranchers dot com yeah egg on your face yep egg on your face organic a little bit of yeah chicken on your face yep maybe maybe you got a black eye put some steak on your eye, steak on your face?

Okay.

So I saw a few, like, clips of you guys playing in these costumes and playing as people that were just not dressed up at all. Did you see old white power, Ben Franklin over here? Did you catch that clip? White power? Just stick it to the man. Somehow we get separated. I don't know what happened.

And, you know, which is, I mean, that happens often. And let me go to the rest of whatever. Yeah. the two minutes that I'm gone I guess the like official like minor league pickleball people came where like guys we love this could we get a quick reel actually timing maybe you should share your side

of the story before I share my side some random lady comes up I don't know what her official I don't know who she is but she's like yeah guys this is so funny this is so great because I saw like there's this trend with people in founding fathers costumes she shows us this video and it's like these people frozen in like a position

and one of the guys has his fist rays in the air He's like, we're doing this trend. And I was like, okay. She's like, I want you and Isaac. I don't know if she knew who I was, obviously, but just like, you guys were in costume, we'll get a funny video. And so I just did what they did in the video.

I don't know. I didn't know about this trend. I didn't even know if someone had pulled time and aside to film anything. I'm like sitting on the pot or something. You've been tagged in official money. Oh, well, that's fun. Someone's finally posted a video of us playing.

What we got here? Timon's up there. White power! Take things back to the way they used to be. Come on. All men are not created. equal. Yeah,

all of a sudden, timing has a red hat on along with his wig. Okay. What is this? When did this happen? Why did they get time? Why did they post it?

Yeah. What is this? Oh, my gosh. Oh, that was funny. Was it like a Hamilton clip and the guy, it was like

Lynn Manuel Miranda. It reminded me of the Hamilton cover. Leslie Odom Jr. or something. And right afterward, uh, Isaac's like, what are you doing with your fist,

dude? I was like, I don't know. I didn't know what this meant? What did Isaac do a little? Probably. Salute. I think so.

Yeah. The video is still up. So if you guys want to see it, I think it's like, I think the ad is like official minor league. You'll find it. It's somewhere in there. And yeah, scroll down a few reels. Oh, yeah. Time and and Isaac.

It's still up, meaning like, it hasn't gotten canceled yet. Yeah. Go comment something racist. Yeah. It gets us taken down, actually. That's amazing, bro. Okay. Oh, that was funny.

You were pretty surprised by. Yeah, that was funny. My other five-year-old just, you know, got us canceled. I can't leave. them. Man. No, it was fun. I mean, everyone, like, immediately was like,

these costumes are hilarious. Oh, my gosh. I didn't even realize it was you guys. Oh, I love you guys. You guys aren't playing in this, right? That was, like, a pretty common thing. Oh, no, we're playing in it. Or, like, we'd see people,

after I've been there a few hours. I heard you guys were doing this. Someone said, you're playing in this? You know, that was the part that people couldn't believe. So it was fun to, like, play in it, play at, like, a high level and end up getting bronze, you know, playing as the founding fathers. So, it was cool.

it was really fun it was customized I mean we had no idea it was like I moved around in my house is like this should work yeah but it really was fine for most far I had to roll the sleeve sleeves got a little long yeah other than that I mean wigs were on I think played a game with a hat on yeah it was pretty funny I like I think I saw one one or two clips that you posted you posted some of like action like gameplay and it was funny like watching you guys play pretty seriously like make some like legitimate like you know pickleball moves but like wearing these like like a pea coat that's swayed yeah like you know like like the opponent would like smack it back and like whoever was at the kitchen just smacked it back on it oh like that's just funny to me like

I don't know and like and kind of seriously like yeah we won that point let's go you know paddle tap after we got like so yeah I was really getting into like the revolutionary type celebrations okay because normally I'm very much just like I don't even paddle tap really I'm just like, just take care of a bit. Just go back to my, whatever. But it's like when you're a founding father, when there's at any time five iPhones pointed at you, it's like, well, let's put on a show.

So if we ever did have like a good point, I would load a musket up. I would put gunpowder in a musket. And then shoot my gun. And we did have a fun time. Just all the revolutionary references. We listened to Hamilton on the way down. Okay.

It's pretty long. We actually didn't finish it. Yep. How long is it? three and a half? I think it's like two hours and 20 minutes. Really? I think we got...

I was going to say, because I felt like we listened about two hours and 20 minutes. Yeah, it's a lot in a row. It's fair. There's no... When there's nothing broken up between songs,

it's a lot of songs. Yeah, because they all... Well, never mind. I was gonna... I'll say it. It's gonna sound super ignorant and I know I'm wrong.

All right? People that love Hamilton. Okay? I was gonna say they all sound the same. They don't all sound the same. I understand, but like... Room where it happened. That one's different?

Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying. I don't know, honestly, more than probably two songs on Hamilton, so I shouldn't say that. But it feels like, it's just a lot of Limin-Manwell, like talking like this. And I'm like, all right. This is cool for, you know, a little taste here and there. But not. I don't need the whole meal to be Lin-Manuel, Miranda. So. We were trying to figure out who should be who. Like tomorrow, like, let's be in character. Let's each be a founding father. dibs on the one that, yes, you still owned, you know, you guys out back. Sounds like, Diamond. I think Isaac and, you know, Scott was very nervous all week, and he's like, I just, I just don't know enough. Like, I just don't know that much about the American Revolution. Do you're saying Scott over, like, analyze something? And so it's like, who should we be?

And then, meanwhile, Isaac and Tyler both like, guys, I promise, we know less than you guys do. I promise we know less than you guys do. I think Isaac was like, dude, I don't even know like who our options are. Timon's like, dude, for sure, because we can't be Thomas Jefferson because he was black. Wait, no, I'm thinking of Hamilton.

I was like, yeah, Thomas Jefferson definitely not black. We can't be Jimmy Carter because he just died. So like, that's quick. That was funny. I'm trying to think what else. Did anybody else dress up?

There were other people in costume. The day we were there, Not a ton of costumes. There were some girls who dressed as convicts and they were all orange and... Not a ton of costumes, but it felt like even less

that actually played in them. I think you guys pulled way ahead in that area. Yeah, now the bummer is this costume contest where you can win $1,000. We kept at, like, people who worked for the place,

they would come up to us and like, we love it, or referees would come up and say, we love it. Who votes for this? I didn't realize there was this cash prize. $1,000 for the best costume. Oh, nice.

and the rules were, like, you have to play in it. And anyway, come to find out, this is, uh, the voters are social media. So I was like, oh, this is not a costume contest. This is a popularity contest. So you could have worn, you could have been on all white and said we are white out. Yeah. I was like, that's so lame for $1,000. That just seems so just like Bush League.

Not a huge deal, but also like, we played the highest level in the most cumbersome costumes. We looked amazing and we're not going to win this costume contest. Why wouldn't you win, though? I feel like you guys have more popularity than anybody. We would. Honestly, by the time they posted it, by the time we saw it, it was like Sunday morning, it had been up for three hours. It had 300 comments, and it was a carousel post.

So we were on, like, slide 14, which is also like, I don't know if that's a fair fight. Was just a comment? Comment, which number? So every comment was for two or three. You know, I think people were like, sure. Yeah, two's good. That three is good. Yeah.

Seriously, every comment was. for two or three. So I was like, I could have asked our audience. I could have asked the ghosties, but I was like, this is over, whatever. This is dumb. Yeah, it's too bad. It's one thing to be like, hey, let's have a fun costume contest for a $50 gift card forever wins and do a carousel post. Yeah. It's another thing to be like, it's a thousand dollars. That can change somebody's month, you know? A lot of night crawlers. That's right. And you know, because you want to be like, we played a higher division with all these guys and we got on the podium and we played in these costumes. Right. I'm not going to say any of that stuff. Yeah, that's fair.

too bad but uh overall had a blast got on the podium met a bunch of people um trying to think what else happened we i should check my notes for the first time time and dressing up and doing white power yep got that uh isaic nosebleed with worms got that um i met some dude this is a way bigger tournament i thought there were 30 countries represented wow this is like the yeah minor league national championships whatever uh end up becoming good friends with some like New Zealand people, some Kiwis. Okay. And they were like, so who are you guys? I said, you know what?

Quiz. Let's see how well you know your American history. And, uh, oh, they weren't saying like, who are you Friday? Pickleball. Yeah, they're like, who, who's who in the, you know, founding fathers. I go George. They said Washington. Yeah. Like, good. I said, um, Ben, they got Franklin. I said, Alexander. They said Graham Bell. I said, you got it. I said Thomas. They said Edison. I go four for four. That's great, guys. I never told them anything. different. I go, wow, you guys know your stuff. Wow. You even do AGB. That's pretty good.

That's pretty funny. They know like inventors as much they know American history. Yeah, they went two for foreign inventors, two for foreign founding fathers. So I thought that was pretty good. I know you've been to New Zealand. So maybe you're going to get a few of these answers right. But what if I just look up most famous New Zealanders and see if you've ever heard of any of them? You're probably going to get some. None are coming to mind. I think they're going to be like rugby players and Moana voice actors. Yeah, exactly.

Right. This guy was a yes, 100% Moana. Yeah, yeah. I'm in. Yeah, probably. This guy was a New Zealand

physicist and chemist who was a pioneering research in both atomic and nuclear physics. He has been described as the father of nuclear physics. Obviously, you know, this guy's name is Ernest. Hemingway.

Incorrect. Ernest Oppenheimer Incorrect Granbell Ernest Einstein Ernest Rutherford Okay you know this one

I'm gonna give it to time in first Because I guarantee you $1,000 Jake knows the answer to this Okay Simon do you know the singer Who sings the famous song Royals Lord

Correct She's a Kiwi huh According to Google Quick Google According to this How about this guy Sir Edmund Blank Was a New Zealand

Mountaineer Explorer and Philanthrop His name is Sir Edmund Hillary. That's impressive. He made enough money exploring that he became a philanthropist. Along with, he was 1953, Hillary and Sherpa, this guy, Sir Edmund Hillary,

and his Sherpa mountaineer, Tinsing, Norgay became the first climbers confirmed to have reached the summit of Mount Everest. His last name was Norgae. His Sherpa was. Nar. Nara. I'm at the top.

Yeah, there's other, like, famous. like actors and stuff, but I don't know any of these other, like, I've never heard of this woman. Gene Batten. Gene Batten. John Batten. John Batten. That's probably how you say it. It's French. She's from New Zealand. Aviator who made several record-breaking flights

including the first solo flight from Newt. I'm having a hard time reading this. England to New Zealand in 1936. That seems pretty cool. She was the first, no, that's not true. She was the second one on the list. First one was the director of Lord of the Rings. Don't say it. I got it.

Tolkien. Yep. Peter. King. Yep. Jackson. Yep. It is kind of fun to just like let people like not know.

Like yep. Yeah. That's right. Ernest Einstein. Uh-huh. E. E. Anyway, yeah, just a lot of people that are like, Russell Crowe's on the list.

Oh, that's cool. Stephen Adams. Don't know who he is. He is. He's a ball player. Carl Urban. Keith's cousin. That's kind of what I'm thinking.

Anyway. One of the... Keith Urban is on the list, so maybe... Yeah. I thought he was Australian. Same. His cousin was New Zealand. He's an Australian and American country singer. Most famous New Zealanders was my quick quote.

Close enough. Same time zone. That's not even true either. There was one New Zealand girl who... We got talking to for a little bit. She's like, you know, so... So what... Who are you guys?

You know, and then we like, show her... So we... These are our pals, but we make video. too, like, we're making a video now, like, I'll just show you your channel. And she goes, oh, I didn't, you have heaps of subscribers. And so we were obsessed with heaps. She thought we were, like, making fun of her. I was like, no, no, that's just cool. Like, I just like, you not know what it means? No, I know what it means. We just don't, like, really use it that much. I love the idea. Heaps and we say followers. Yeah, we say a bunch. Lots. We don't say heaps. Heaps. Heaps of subscribers. So I really liked heaps. That was the word of the weekend.

Is there much of a difference between New Zealand and Australia accent-wise? I wouldn't be able to tell a difference. But I think if you're Caleb Urban, yeah, you know a difference. Sure. But, like, yeah, it's not like that, yeah. I bet it's kind of like a difference in accents across America. It's probably like a little bit like us versus Minnesota or something. Texas.

Texas. Heaps of cows. Heaps. Heaps of hats. Heaps of cowboy hats. That's fun. Gosh, I love so many things about main treat roasters. Number one.

Listener, did you know? No, no, no, no. We're going to do a new song. Get us a new song. Okay. Maybe I'll talk and then you can think of one. I feel like when I have coffee, all I want is I just want it to be a silent. Okay.

We're picking back. Christmas one? A silent. Bight. It's what I was trying to think of. I was like, dang it. That's food. Coffee cake.

Coffee cake is so, you know, smooth and moist. It's like you have a silent bite. But you know what's coffee cake by itself? Kind of, kind of dry. Kind of eh. Kind of eh.

Kind of, oh. Add coffee to it. All of a sudden, you have. Silent bite. Keep going. Holy bite.

all is bite all is bite round john virgin mother and bite holy infant so tender and bite sleep with Main Street Beans Sleep with Main Street

Bight Tist the season to sleep with beans Tiss the season y'all. They've got a new kind of cheat for us to read off of and they said we're not, we're talking too much about sipping, drinking, slurping. What about sleeping with the beans? The night's silent for a reason. Nobody's going to know. No one's going to know. Yeah, no one needs to know.

That's right. Get your beans and wherever or get them from one place what you do with them afterwards nobody's looking that's the nice thing about beans is they are pretty small and so you can fit them in almost any nook and cranny in your house so get your beans put them wherever cranny mouth how often do people just go cranny nook occasionally i've caught myself reading in a cranny or a nook no people people knuck sometimes cranny no you'll know you'll know you'll know when you're craning in kind of uncomfortable. I mean, like this small, like little tuckedaway area of my home, but I'm not too

comfy. I would have cranny instead of nooked. Yeah. Why am I so sore? My neck is kind of terrible. I must have, oh, I was in a cranny. Oh, yeah, I cranned yesterday. That being said, GRC will get you 10% off Main Street Roasters.

You can also go to the link down below under the Healing Waters copy. Yeah. And that 10% that you would get off, we're just going to be donated to healing waters instead. So if it's a facto, do that. Sleep with your beans. Sleep with your beans. and, yeah, raise money for Haiti. So give...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got it. The link below. Bajer.com. So, yeah, got bronze. Got bronze. We're like, where do we, you know, let's get out of here. Let's celebrate.

Where do you go? Scotty Pee's. A little place called Boomer Jax. Oh. You've been to Boomer Jax? No, but I feel like I've heard about this. Maybe I heard you talk about this already. Go ahead.

Maybe I did it. Oh, I know. I told you a story from it. Yeah, I already told you this story off the podcast. but just for the ghosties listening we're at yeah this is just like a sports bar that's got everything yeah like every i was going to say too many TVs but that's not true the TVs are too big for what they're showing yeah well there's there's both too many TVs and then one that's just too big one that's too big it's showing chive tv which is like you know that program like i used to

be on it every now and then i'd be on there juggling people would give me a text me like hey i'm at sports cut right now why am i watching you juggle dude, I don't know. I didn't see a dime from that, so I don't know. You'll get the residuals. Really thought we might see me on the, like, 28 by 34 TV, but... Foot. Yeah, it's huge. But it's so loud in there. It's a sports bar. The speakers are not nice. Timon, how would you describe the sounds you can hear out of the speakers? Do you know where I'm going with the story?

Just, like, I'm only hearing the very basics of, like, a beat of whatever song's playing. Like, you're kind of even like... it's like faintly in the background like okay I can tell there's music playing that's about it okay there's so much going on and I don't know where Scott goes I have to shazam this and Tyman was like offended he's like you you're not shazaming this tell me you're not shazaming this right now you're offended about what exactly timing how are you hearing this what the song sounds like oh you're like you're like why do you I'm like, this is the most, you don't even know the song.

I probably said, this is the most basic sounding beat of all time. This is just, I'm like, how is anything about this? Like, oh, no, this is good. I got to listen to this later. Everyone be quiet. Yeah. Yeah.

I just, I couldn't believe it. So, I don't know if it worked. I don't know. I was sitting next one. Yeah, I don't know if he got an answer or not. I don't know what it was. The phone up there. Throw up the fist.

Because, yeah. Also, how could Shazam? Maybe. maybe it could. Maybe Shazam could know it somehow. It seems like a lot of work for Shazam to pick that sound out of the many sounds there. He's like trying to find where the speaker is in the place. So anyway,

was a fun. I talked about this when you said it, but like, what a technology. Like at the time, it was one of those things that was like, I can't believe how cool this is. Heck of an invention. Yeah. Yeah, we were at a Christmas party. We were trying to think like what else was like that? Like, yeah, not life changing, but like, this is pretty

crazy. Yeah. Burning Your own CDs was pretty cool. like, oh, Scott Caldwell was saying, like, when Spotify first came out, that was pretty like Earth shattering. Snapchat. I just said Spotify. Yeah. I said the, yeah, the Snapchat filters.

Like when the first time when a filter, like, went with your face, like the dog ears followed me. Yeah. It's like, we're on the precipice of something crazy. This is next level. Watch out. Yeah. Spotify, just instantly having all the songs you want.

That was crazy. I remember the first time I saw Google Earth. That was kind of unbelievable. That freaked out Uncle John. He did not like that. Yeah, you started collecting cans in the basement when Google Earth came out. It's over. Yeah.

Google Earth and then Google Street View eventually. I don't know if any of those were like, unbelievably. No, Google Earth was crazy. Google Earth was crazy. And then just GPS is in general of like, they can always figure out how to get places. Like, how do they know every single street? It's one thing to be like, oh, yeah, you kind of know the area.

Yeah. It's like, they know everything. My first iPhone I ever got was the iPhone 5S or whatever. It was the first one to have the thumbprint reader on it. Really? And so that, I think I went from a Blackberry to that. And I was like, this is pretty cool. Yeah.

I like this. I remember when the iPhone, I got one, I had one in college. And it had like the big, it was like the big update that like went from it being like the kind of the original iPhone to like it has maps now. Okay. That was the main thing I remember. And it was maps and it like changed all the fonts on it. Like all the low notes.

Like a big iOS update. Big time. Yeah. And I remember being like, it has GPS on your. your phone. This is nuts. Comes pre-installed. Yeah, I don't have to use my tom-tom anymore. Dude, that's a good reference.

Yeah. I can't think of any other inventions like that, but anyway, Shazam, they had a good thing going there for a while. They still, I mean, as far as I know, no one else has taken the throne. Oh, I think it's like, it's like in everything now. What do you mean? Like, I know even

before I deleted Snapchat, like it was embedded in Snapchat, you just hold down the screen and Snapchat starts listening for music. Really? I mean, it's built into your iPhone now, too. What song is this? Well, but that's Shazam. Yeah, but that is Shazam, right? Oh, it is. Okay. Yeah. I think so. I just thought everyone was coming, just their own version of it. Yeah, I wonder if it's all Shazam. That's what I'm saying. I think that they've continued to be Shazam. I don't know. I didn't know about the Snapchat one though, so I'm not going to speak. I'm not going to speak into that.

Are you a snapper time? I very rarely am. I have an account. I don't know. I feel like I'll get on it every a few weeks and be like, oh, got some three-week-old Snapchats. Yeah. So, yeah. You don't have streaks. No. For whatever reason, and I'd be interested to hear if you have related to this, either with Rachel's family or with your family, for whatever reason.

Because I know basically what I was going to say is Snapchat is popular with Gen Z and all that. For whatever reason, I've noticed a lot of agriculture people are also really into Snapchat. Have you seen this at all? all. Like, have you heard like Tommy talk about this? Yeah, I think they're on Snapchat. Like often, like my small town Kansas people, everyone's while will send me like a funny, like, or even just like a picture of their family. And it's got like the Snapchat like bar with the text on it. And I'm like, bro, are you, are you snapchatting? Are you doing it? Like, you know, like sending like to their farmer friends basically. Dude, I think you're right. Like all the,

I know a lot of even exactly like that small town Kansas farmers that definitely use Snapchat. Like from my, my location of my church down there. like everyone has Snapchat. And you might be on to something here. I think you're right. I don't know. Because even from the time I was dating Rachel, I mean,

I've known her family group chat is on Snapchat. And I'm always being like, because it seems like every time Rachel's opening a Snapchat from her family, it is, they're not communicating there necessarily like, hey, when are you coming over Thanksgiving? But it's like,

all the memories are there. And I'm like, I feel like you guys are creating memories in the wrong place. You're creating them on the one app that disappears and delete your content. Like it's like little videos of Lucy writing the dog and stuff. I'm like, I'm not going to tell you what to do with your family group chat,

but I think you should do this, like, an I message or something. So they don't, like, erase. Yeah, because they have no way of accessing them later. Yeah, and obviously you could save a Snapchat. I don't know if people are saving them or not, but I just, I'm trying to look out for him. I know. You're going to want those. But also as the in-law, you have to find your role of like.

Yeah, I'm not going to say anything. I have thoughts, but I don't know if I don't want to like. Yeah, I'll just tell Rachel. I don't even have Snapchat. I'm not in the group, so I'm really just jealous. That's classic, dude. like, once you implement a change for a group, all of a sudden, like, any issue with that change is, well, Jake, Jake told us to do this.

Dude, I, my, my fantasy football, we went from Yahoo to sleeper. Yeah. And I started doing sleeper because of you. I love sleeper. So much better than any other one. I think it's user-friendly, whatever, has all these different resources and stuff, and every time some issue would come up. They would use a hashtag called the truth about sleeper.

And just give me a hard time. Like, yeah, Brad won't sleeper so bad. Said waivers are going to run at 10. It's 10.04. What's going on? Thanks, Brad. Yeah, truth about sleeper. Oh, wow.

0.5 is like, you know, whatever. Normal PPR in this league. Truth about sleeper. Wow. That's interesting. I am a new adapter to social media platform. What do you mean new adapter? New adapter is probably the new adopter.

I have a new social media platform that I had 10 years ago, and I re-downloaded it, any guess is what it is? It's not Snapchat. You had it 10 years ago and you have it again? It's like also one of those things where it's like, it's really popular with random groups and random people that's like love it. Oh, it's that walkie-talkie app. Marco Polo. Yeah. I was like voice memoing Bethke the other day. And he's like, hey man, I'd rather do Marco Polo. Do you have that? I was like, no, but I'll get it for you, I guess. And so he's like, I just like seeing people's face. I like, And I'm like, I use it the same way.

I just listened to it, put on my lap. So he's all about it. So if you guys want to Marco, or Polo? Dude, I used to use Marco Polo every day for probably like a year. Back when there were like a whole bunch of, at Greenleaf or at theater, there was a bunch of group chats that like everyone on there would also use Marco Polo.

It's just Marco Polo all the time. There was like, there's Marco Polo group chats. That was so slow to catch up on. If there was ever activity, it's like, wow, I got to sit down for like an hour and see. people were saying because you can't like skim through and there's also I'm a big fan of voice messages on my phone and I'm a big fan of playing them at 2x speed or 1.5 or 1 point like whatever playing them a little bit faster is that an easy thing to do yes I learned easy time please teach me hold down

the play button and then you'll just press play at 2x play it whatever whoa okay cool yeah game changer good to know um but for Marco Polo you have to pay extra for that for to like be Yeah, kind of bunk. So anyway, I'm not saying I'm like a huge fan of it, but right when I downloaded it, I get a Marco Polo from Jesse Platner. It's like, uh, I just got a message to Brad Ellis on Marco Polo. So, uh, congrats. That was it.

I'm pretty sure after the 2024 Gulf Shores event, someone convinced me to get Marco Polo. Celia, Janelle talked like, yeah. They said they would send like hour long Marco Poloos to each other. So for about two weeks, I would communicate me to get Marco, on Marco Polo with just Celia, Janelle, and Jesse. You're good to know he's still on there. He's still rocking the Marco Polo. That's good. Anyway, so I'm not like a huge...

I don't really understand what's so good about it, but at the same time, it is cool that I can like start watching somebody's message while they're still recording. That's kind of fun. Yeah. You're like watching it, almost watching it live, yeah. Yeah. It's pretty fun. So I guess that's cool about it, but yeah, I know my sister's... So it's like a FaceTime, but a little worse.

Kind of. In that situation, it's like, I'm watching you. I mean, I can't say anything until you're done. Yeah. I like it, though. I like Marco Polo. Yeah. Back in the day.

Something else that I recently acquired is a smoker. I'm a smoker. Okay. Smoker now. And you're probably thinking, like, what are the traditional ways that you acquire a smoker? A, you buy it. B, you buy it. C.

Inheritance. You inherit it from your neighbor's, boyfriend who got kicked out out of nowhere, and he knocks on your door at 8.30 at night and just says, hey, you want my smoker? I got to leave. That's one of the more rare instances of an inheritance I've heard of, but I do know what happens. It does happen. I was, I was like trying to get all the kids, like, we're putting the kids to bed and everything. And I sure is knock on our back door last night. And I'm like, what's going on? These days, no one just knocks on your door, especially not the back door. No one knocks. I'm like, who, I couldn't see who it was. I go out there. And this guy,

only live there, whatever. I don't even get in their business, but I feel like he's only been there like two months. And my neighbors are older. This guy's probably 60. He's like, hey, man, I know you said you like my smoker. She's kicking me out. So I didn't know if he's wanted it. I was like, dude, you don't have to just give me that. You're going to take it with you? Where are you headed the prison? He was like, I'm living in a hotel room until I figure out what's going on next. And so I can't store it there. Oh, you're kind of a consignment for his smoker. Well, I said, I was like, well, let me just have it then in my driveway. You can come pick it up whenever you're ready. He's like, no, just have it, man. Just have it. And then he's like,

I also got a little charcoal grill if you want that. I was like, I don't really, I don't, I don't really want it. And he's like, well, I can't fit it in the back of this truck. Everything else is already in there. Here, take these handcuffs and these zip ties in these gloves. I'm not using them anymore. Take this shovel and this tarp and this lady's hair. I'm done with all this. And do you need bleach for anything? Go ahead and throw it in the smoker if you don't mind. I got to run. Just, just burn it all. Okay. Burn it up really quick. No, dude, it was like one of those. It really sounds like he's got to get out of town quick.

It, I think, well, I don't know. I don't, I didn't ask too many questions. I was like, man, I'm sorry. It's happening. But I did drive in to our driveway yesterday. 4.30 p.m. And it was like one of those scenes from a movie where like all the stuff is like on the, on the lawn. One of those smoker movies.

You know, big butts. Pork butts. Got it. Yeah. Yeah, but it was like, okay, I guess this. guys. Oh, they're doing a little winter garage sale. That's what Catherine thought. Catherine was like, oh, there must be clearing out the shed or something. Yeah. They're doing a garage sale. I'm like, I don't think so, Catherine. Looks like he's moving out. I didn't realize it was

so like, here you go kind of thing. But dang. Anyway, so that's my behind the house neighbors. Tuesday night move out. So if anybody has any smoker tips. Smoke tips. Yeah. All right. I did say, I told him, I was like, I'd always love to, I've always wanted to get into smoking meat, but I haven't had the time to get into it yet. So I guess now I'm getting a little head start. Yeah. Free charcoal. Anyway.

All right. Are we doing like the Christmas song thing for every single, like should we do one for Signature Pest Control with the good luck with this one? Okay. I'll tell you where I'm tired of critters and wolf spiders and whatever, the Salt Lake. Valley area has. I'm tired of them all over the floor and in my shoes. Sir, I want to put my feet in some critterless shoes. That's good.

See, it's Utah Christmas Eve, and these shoes have so many spides. Can you hurry? Turing your pest control. Daddy says there's too many flies.

Correct. Salt Lake Valley. So if you are in Salt Lake Valley, if you know anybody, if you don't know anybody in Salt Lake Valley, what are you doing with their life? Yellow pages. I would find somebody. Yeah. I'm going to do it right now. During the ad, I'm going to go to Facebook and I'm going to find somebody who lives in Salt Lake that I don't know and I'm going to message them on Facebook.

Good idea or bad idea? No, good idea. I'm just going to search Facebook, Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City. See what comes up in under people. A lot of diversity, I assume. Wow.

There's a lot of Mexicans here. All right. So let's see if this is. So Jess Block, we have one mutual friend. That is A.J. Devlin. Probably like an eighth degree friend from college. AJ D. Jess Block.

Guess where you're getting. Message. Hey, Jess. We should all send something to Jess Block specifically. Be checking in. Hey, Jess, be checking in. Wanted to let you know about an amazing opportunity. Opportunity from signature pest control.

Are you, do you want to work in your PJs? Oh, sorry, that's the script from this other thing I do. Do you want to drive a pink Mercedes-Benz? Mm-hmm. and not have spiders in it. Mm-hmm. You want me to say... I don't know.

Up to you. Let me know what's natural. I might do that. I might just do... I might just say like, hey, they have their family owned and operated for 20 years with 30 plus years of experience.

And if you use a service plan, you can get 50% off your initial service, 25% off if you do one-time treatment. So I might just... I'm just going to copy and paste that probably in there. You just say that. And let her know, you know, to use the promo code, JerikC, and just in general,

let them know that goes for her center. Yeah, let them know. know, let him know I sent you. Let him know Brad sent you. Let him know the Ghostrunner sent you. Yeah. And say, hey, if this got you in the mood to spend money, do you want to buy a house in Lee would?

Also, yeah, if you're looking to come home because she, wait, wait, wait, she's from Salt Lake City. She lives in over the park, Kansas. Crap! It's not the right girl to go for. All right, I'm going to find somebody else. All I have to say is signature pest control is a company worth pursuing people for. They're a family-owned company, just like we are a family-owned podcast.

Yep. And we are, yeah, we want to support other people like it. So check them out. Critterless shoes that could be you guys. Singressprow.com. We, uh, we were kind of smokers. We were nearby some smoke on our way back. Oh, yeah.

We sure were. We got up to about halfway through our trip back and had to come to a pretty quick stop on the highway and just stands still traffic. And then, after 10 minutes, like, oh, wow, we still haven't moved. What's going on? We end up finding out later, looking up on Twitter, two semis crashed into each other, taking up the whole highway, and one of them caught flames. So pretty serious accident. You think they were like, it wasn't head on, you think? I don't think so, because it was like an interstate,

they were separate. I don't know exactly what happened. One side of that highway was going fine. Yeah. And the other side was completely standstill. complete stance still and it was kind of a freaky atmosphere just because like everyone's out of their cars because we've been sitting for so long it's like the walking dead yeah it's like a war of the world's type situation

where none of our cars work we're all on foot now also it was I think I would at least assume this is what led to the accident it had been crazy foggy the entire trip pretty annoying to drive through yeah one of my least favorite weather conditions to drive in hate heavy fog

So everyone's out of their cars It's crazy foggy We're stopped on the highway And then people to start Turning around On our side of the highway And are just going in reverse And then about that time

Timon gets his drone up He's like we've just been sitting here Why don't I go check out what's going on? Oh, that's fun A little investigative journalism with the drone Oh yeah Yeah Dronalism attempted

Yeah unfortunately the fog was so thick That it you know Proximity sensors kept thinking You were about to hit an object Really? It was that bad Yeah And it was like, the line was clearly super long that I couldn't have flown to the end of it.

Like, it was crazy. Yeah, you didn't have enough battery to probably go to the end to the line and back. Yeah. That's crazy. So did you just wait or did you turn around as well? We waited. We were probably in line for an hour. And eventually it just seemed like, I guess we're all doing it.

Everyone but the semis. It's just reversing and turning around on the highway. So then it was kind of crazy. So it's like, it's a split highway where it's like they're going south. We're going north. Well, now that I've turned around. Now there's a car next to us. a median in between us, and we're going the same speed on the interstate.

It felt so weird and so wrong. And then eventually I have to exit left. Yeah. And it's still crazy foggy. So I'm like, I don't think a car is going out of nowhere. But that car, yeah. Where should I be? Because there's still cars going north on that interstate towards you.

That's kind of, and maybe there was a blockade or something. Yeah, they had shut it down. Wow. So anyway, kind of a crazy. just, I mean, I'd never been a part of anything like that. I mean, it was like a crazy scene on the highway. Sometimes, the first time I'd ever seen this was in Texas. So I didn't know, did anybody, or maybe wasn't an option for this area, but like, Texas,

they have lots of, like, access, like, fronted roads. They love fronted roads. And they, I've seen it now multiple times where if the traffic's bad enough, Texas trucks will just get over and just go into the grass and just go, like drive up onto the highway now. Yeah. That's nice. I know.

Honestly, it sounds like that would have been a nice option right then. Yeah, it could have been nice. We were pretty in the middle of nowhere. Orlando, Oklahoma is where we were. So anyway, it's crazy, but we got through it. But it took some time. A lot of stopping to charge in the cold, sitting on the highway. We left at 5.30 and got back at 4.15.

I mean, it was a full 11-hour. Versus probably like supposed to be seven and a half to eight and a half billion. Yeah. Jeez. Long day. Long drive. Worth it in the cyber truck, though? Was it fun to like that?

Yeah. It was fun. It was cool. Yeah. A good video games. That's cool. You go back in time for... You had to go perform Hamilton?

What was it? I... Like, we got back, and I just went home, and then quick change, and went to a choir concert. So I, like... I remember before we knew what time we'd leave in the morning, Jake was like, yeah, I think we might have to return the cyro truck by this certain time. And I was like, okay, that sounds good. Because then we'd leave in time for me to get back.

Because I wasn't going to be like... Yeah. We have to get back in time for this. at 5 a.m. for me and my choir concert, please. It sounds like, yeah, you're already making priority to getting there on time, so it's... Exactly. So we'll be fine. Yeah. Um, but it was great. Like I, um, so the timeline of events was, yeah,

left at 530, got back it, yeah, around four. And then just like, went home and changed, performed, went to church, performed again, and then flew back to Dallas for a different thing. Is that where you just came back from was Dallas? Yeah, I was just in Dallas again. I was just, yeah, as you were saying all this, I was like, I think out of all of us, we're all busy people in our own separate ways

timing might be the busiest one it feels like right now it feels like timing's in a season of going I wonder if it's yeah at least from the standpoint of just like going a bunch of places and doing stuff kind of feels like it but it's fun yeah

I knew the weekend would be kind of wild with the choir concert in between both things your travel seems to be very back to back now like as soon as you go back from Mississippi you go to Boston yeah and as soon as you go to Dallas you go there again yep headed back this evening

so no yeah it was fun though the other dallas thing was shooting like a proof of concept for what might be a show that's like a christian or church version of like a sitcom like the office or parks and rack or something like that okay it's called the flock very merry oh okay the very merry flock flock christmas but yeah how did it go it went well i had a fun time was it funny it was just yes honestly they're there were like one actor in particular whose name of Christian

I'd seen him online Christian McCartney he's like a comedian of some sort 29ers running back I had seen oh CMC yeah I had seen him

he was funny like as expected for him and like there were some other guys that were just or other actors that were funny but I mean I guess I shouldn't have said the name of the thing

because now I'm like nope just the main actor whoever they got for this proof of concept the lead in the proof of concept was just not good No, like a naturally funny guy.

Was he supposed to be funny? Or was he more like a straight man? No, he was supposed to be like, at least quirky, kind of awkward, like... Okay. Probably a little bit inspired by Michael Scott, I would assume. There was a little bit of that. And it's like, wow, this guy's just not cutting it at all. So that was a good debriefing topic for the end of the days, for sure.

Is this the connection, same people that you did the other, the Amish and the sci-fi? Yeah, he's the guy that shot Isaac and his wife, Sam. Andrea. So, yeah, they were great. It's always fun to hang out with them. But yeah, it was just two filming days for that. So do they edit as well, or do they just film it and then send it out to somebody else? They, Isaac edited a lot of Sugar Creek, the Amish show. He edited stuff. Yeah, he's editing that movie from Mississippi too, not enjoying that. But I think he prefers to not have to edit it, but also be like in CGI. Yeah. But so yeah, we'll see how that, uh, sitcom style thing turns out.

But, I mean, I hope it gets picked up for a real show because then hopefully I can go back and work on it. It would be kind of fun, but we'll see. Are you home for a while now, or are you traveling again? I think I'm home for a while. Okay. I don't, I never, I don't know. You might go to Fort Scott on a whim.

Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. But, yeah. How are we feeling about, uh, tomorrow is, is tomorrow the day? Yeah, tomorrow night I perform. Oh, whoa. Yeah, I, uh, scale one to 10. I feel better than most times when I have to do brand new,

material for the first time. And it might be because I'm only doing 10 minutes because it can it can be less brutal. Or you know, it's just like less to be nervous about, I guess, just quantity wise. But also I sat down this morning and was like, all right, first let me see if I have this memorized. Like phone down. Let me see if I can run through it. But I also started a timer. And it was like 17 minutes. I was like, oh gosh, I've memorized too much. This is too long now. And what do you think, how do you think, Trey would feel if you went over? 17 minutes is too much probably but like yeah he's always been pretty chill with that stuff I mean but in the like comedian industry you're supposed to do a very especially if you're the opener

like if you're the headliner you've got all sort you've got a long leash they're here to see you can do whatever you want sure as the opener you're supposed to kind of like play your role you know people don't like that I it's very common to get a light there all right when do you want your light and I say I'm fine like the light meaning like hey there's only five minutes left or two minutes yeah and when do you want a light which means like do you You want it two minutes, 60 seconds, five minutes. Yeah. And you're like, I don't smoke.

Yeah. No, thanks. Yeah. No, I do. I do some like caffeine energy bars and that's kind of enough for me. I'm a cherry Coke vanilla cream zero guy. What are you going to light up? Ah, I'm all right.

Oh, thank you. I think all I speak for all of us. I think we're all fine. I don't know about Mike Lowe, actually. You might ask Michael. Ask Michael. Yeah, yeah. um but normally when i'm performing it's like oh i know my material so i've done this a thousand

times i know how long it is or at the very least i have a clock in front of me i know subtraction i'll be fine so i try to go pretty quickly within 60 seconds plus or minus of the time i'm supposed to do so was it like i mean obviously it's like good problem to have 17 minutes but it's also like that's not like okay i'll just take out this little comment here comment there just take out seven minutes it's like i got to take out like a whole thing like right like you're taking out like a whole group of jokes at this point. Yeah, it's a little more to take out that I would like.

But on the bright side is like, okay, well, I'm self-aware enough to know like some of the weaker jokes where it's like, great, now we're just kind of getting to the cream of the crop here. Yeah, this is great. Play the hits, baby. Yeah.

Because I was trying to get to this joke about how my, I have a chimney that's disconnected. Right. Because I had a really good joke at the end of it. But honestly, the whole story is like not really that funny. And I was like, there's a payoff at the end,

but I don't think this is like ready. So I was like, great. No chimney, no problem. No one's hearing about chimney this weekend. No, chimney's out of there. It's out.

So, get the stack out. Yeah, and there was other stuff. Yeah. So, yeah, we'll have to take some chunks out.

But overall, I think it'll be fine. I think people will laugh. I'm expecting this Nashville show, this first showed about 70% of it to go well. And the other 30% I will spend Friday working on. Well, and that's,

I mean, not to like make it be like, oh, don't worry about it. But like, I think they're going to be forgiving. Like, Trice fans are just nice people, I feel like.

You know what I mean? Yeah, I'm the first 10 minutes. they're going to forget about me. Then Lucas, then Trey. You know, just get out there and have fun. That's fun. It would be fun.

A lot of ghosties are coming. Really, they were trying to push them to come to Charlotte or Atlanta. I'm like, let me get one under my belt. But a lot of ghosties coming to the first one. All brand new material. But no, it'll be fine. That's elected, though, dude. Yeah, it would be fun.

It's like, I don't think I wrap my head around. It's like, last night at like 8 o'clock, Rachel and I were like, ooh, we better get to bed soon. I'm like 48 hours from now. I'm like performing for, I don't know, 2200 people like this is crazy it's crazy you just do that all the time yeah it's crazy i'm about to do it again i'm gonna have to sleep in that day so i'm not too tired by the time of showtime gosh might have to have another bubbler you know maybe we'll take up a little light uh you'll do great man

that's exciting thanks yeah national charlotte atlanta yep okay don't really remember the order don't even really know the schedule i keep like uh Kylie dolin she's a listener she's like hey hollering when you're in Atlanta. I was like, cool. I don't really know our schedule Saturday yet. I thought the show was Sunday. I was like, maybe it is. You wake up and you're like, where are we?

Like, I'll be ready at 7 o'clock. Kylie, I think I'm here. Yeah. You guys are the Hornets or the Hawks? Wait, Charlotte, Bobcats. Are these little bobcats? I don't know what they are. They're back.

They're blue. Yeah, I think they went back. New Orleans. No, New Orleans Pelicans. Pelicans. No one's the Bobcats anymore. Yeah, Mecca, Ocophore is gone. Right, timing?

Yeah. Yeah. How do you feel at the Chiefs, Timon? Oh, yeah. I did see on, was that good? Does that see like convincing? Like, is that what people are thinking? You know what the record is?

Their record. Oh, is that like comparison of wins to losses? No. Do you know what a record is? What a record? Yeah, yeah. Yeah? Do you know what the Chiefs record is?

Wait, I don't. Yeah, what's the unit of measurement? If I said, like, what's the Chief's record? it's like oh they're they're five seven like oh one five you say five seven five to seven I don't know that's not that's not they rank there's definitely not the right total wouldn't it be out of the games they've played yeah wins versus losses is that right correct okay I thought you're going with like ranking like they're somewhere between fifth and seventh no no no I think I know more than that okay that feels right I'm pretty confident and like um ooh they've they've played

two games they're oh and two yikes yeah that's a bad record very good right let me ask you this if there were a third number which is possible what would that mean if they were two two and one what's going on there that's the whoever's serving yeah as far as i know good answer um i have no idea there can be ties in football oh there's about one per year huh so but it happens pretty really interesting um but anyway thoughts of the chiefs i saw on zane callister's story the percentage to the playoffs or that's what they want to do. That's what they want to do. Right.

That's what they're going for is like 17% or something low. So that was why I said. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. Good assessment. Do you believe? I mean, theoretically it's possible.

Sounds like no. And hypothetically, yep, still possible. Yeah. Yeah, it's unlikely though. I believe more in the fact that like these other teams can lose than I believe that the chiefs are going to continue. like to just magically win five games in a row at this point. Is that what has to happen?

Five in a row. The Chiefs basically have to win the rest of their games and then a lot of other teams have to lose somewhat unlikely amounts of games. Yeah. Yeah, it's too bad. Pretty unlikely. That is too bad.

Yeah, 20% or whatever. At 19, 18, 17, whatever it is. Who cares? What movie is that? Is that Dodge Bowl? Where instead of saying like, the announcer, instead of saying like, do you believe in miracles? I think he goes, do you believe in unlikelyhood?

It's like that. I'm not going to call it a miracle, but this was unlikely that this happened. You believe in unlikelyhood. Yeah. Let's talk about Sunday night. That was fun. Glyde had a little Christmas party.

Glyde had a Christmas party. He did it last year. Jake went to it. Similar kind of thing. And I got to go this year. And yeah, beforehand, like we watched the Chiefs game Sunday night, but beforehand we did this like mini game party thing.

And it was a lot of fun. We like split up into, groups of two. It was a little bit of a, who was your partner? Tyler Stolzvus. That's right. Tyler was in town. Ghosty legend.

Yeah. Him and Glide have become friends and so. So cool. That's awesome. Yeah, drove into town straight for this thing and then drove out that night. Yeah. There's like five guys on this like couch area and Glide's like, all right, everyone pair up.

People to my left, paired up. People to my right, pair it up. And I was just this middle guy by myself. So anybody went back? be my partner. And Calvin Beck said, yeah, I'll be your partner. Okay. And I don't know how much faith I had in Calvin and I as a, as a duo, but it wasn't much. I think we performed pretty admirably throughout the whole thing. I don't know if we were the best team. We definitely won one competition. And then we did pretty well in this like Lego competition. Like I was like,

somehow we worked is all I'm trying to say. It was peanut butter and jelly or something. Like it was just like, I don't know. This guy's salty. This guy's sweet. But together, so before you even knew the competition, you were like, I don't know if we're going to do too well.

I didn't, I didn't know. I was like, I don't know about Calvin and I's chemistry here. How are we going to play? I was like, I don't know. The first thing we did was like this like unraveling of,

what is that, like streamer stuff? Streamer, yeah. We did not. It was kind of like a one person thing, but it was like a team thing. And I was like,

I don't know how to involve a team here. Can't get peanut butter and jelly involved in that one. You got sticky. So it was fun. Yeah. Yeah, it was fun. You know, just a bunch of different like little Christmas themed games to put this, you know, throw the ornament here, forming rivalries. Yeah.

And so every single game, like there was like a first, second, third place, you know, Glyb was keeping track. And if you were one of those teams, you got to go to this wall and he just had, I don't know, 70 plus envelopes. And some of them didn't have anything in them, some of them had $1. Some of them had a lot of money. Like it was just like kind of crazy. you never know which one to pick, and it was pretty fun. I won a competition, and I picked one that Garrett had brought, our friend Garrett, who loves to do sports gambling, and he had on there like a list of like, or like the screenshot,

basically, of this, of this sports bet. It's like, you either take this sports bet or you can take, you know, Venmo $25 or something like that, which is pretty fun. And so that was a great idea. Yeah, just stuff like that. include the URL first and say that 15 different times. Give.healingwaters.org slash ghosties 2025. Tell exactly why we're donating.

We're donating because Healing Waters is, they're running a campaign in order to raise money to provide sustainable water solutions in Haiti. Try to make it funny and memorable. Have we ever gone pantsless on an ad? I think that's memorable. I don't know if it's fun. Minerable.

Okay, funny and memorable. Funny and memorable. Timon, just say like your deepest, like, insecurity. I don't know if that would be funny, actually. Once again, that's just memorable. Guarantee you, I laugh. Okay. Update the ghosties on how we're doing so far.

So we have a donor who's agreed to match $25,000 towards this thing. And so far, we have donated $18,000. which is pretty amazing. If we don't raise $25,000, they donate zero. That's exactly right. That's what matching means. That's exactly right. That's how matching works.

215 different ghosties have donated. I was talking to the Healing Waters folks last week, and it was something, I don't remember the exact numbers, but I feel like it was like 150 new donations, like new people that did not donate to previous campaign, which is so cool to hear. Like people are getting in the game. People are getting after it. So as a reminder, there will be a grand prize once we hit that 25,000 of just an experience in Kansas City with all sorts of different things that we've talked about on the podcast, places to go, a dinner with us, you know, hotel stay provided, travel provided. And even if you don't win the grand prize, guess what?

You might still be going home with a cozy earth bed sheets set. Yeah, the Constellation Prizes are quite nice. Ten sets of bedsheets are going to be sent out to you guys. and hey you never know one of you who wins the consolation prize maybe you get bumped up to the grand prize and I say that because one time we did a thing on Friday Pickleball were like hey

it's affiliate week whoever has the most sales will fly you out and they were like I'm okay actually thanks appreciate it but I'm just trying to do this for the healing waters like sustainable water solution I don't need who are the ghost runners? I really want to hang out with you yeah we mean Kansas City things

I don't know I just got a message on Facebook that said to donate to this thing just like I did for Signature Pes, bro. Just blocks forwarded me something. I don't even know who you guys are. So a lot of good reasons to donate and spend your money that way. So we would appreciate it. Check it out below if you want more information.

Thank you. Yeah. Glyde reminded me when we got started. He goes, all right, last year, Jake won the costume contest and he didn't get anything. And so we're going to give him an advantage in this. I don't even remember that. But, and then, yeah, won a couple of events. First two envelopes to grab nothing in those either.

I was like, you know, it's just not meant to be. Oh, yeah, it was full of trash. Literally. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. But no, it's, they're so fun. Yeah, and just all the different, like, little side bets that go on.

I mean, like, people are taking like $4. So seriously, it's like, I will blindly give you $5 to take my envelope right now. Or, you know, whatever. Just like, fun little side games. That's what I gave Stol's, I was like, you have $5. I'll take that and you can just pick out another, you can pick out my envelope.

And he did it and he got $10 in his envelope. So I was like, good for you, man. You know? So it was great. I had the same idea you did. Well, you put money and you put all these like old gift cards in the envelope that you got. I also found a gift card that I hadn't ever used, which honestly we should try to do that more often,

just in general, like what gift cards do we not have and just either use them or give them away or something? Yeah, I found this whole thing in our junker. They were all still like, they had not expired. And it was like $60 worth of gift cards as long as you go to Jersey mics and five guys and stuff. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

And so I found one for $10 to McDonald's. And I was like, all right, cool. That'll be kind of fun. I'll be different. And then Jake brings 85 gift cards. Empty the clip on gift cards and cash. It's amazing. But anyway, it was fun.

I was really impressed by his hospitality, like how. Yeah. I mean, yeah, he had burgers, brats, pizzas. He had this, like, weird pizza machine. That was crazy. I was pretty fascinated by that. It was called like a pizzazz or something. Yeah. And maybe on one hand, it's like crazy, futuristic seeming technology. But on the other hand, it's like, that might have been around in the 70s. Yeah, it might be old. Either way, it cooked pizzas. It doesn't look like it would do a good job cooking pizzas, but it did. It basically is just like this, like, heating plate that has like a heat on top and bottom. It just like rotates this pizza around. and it made a nice, nice looking pie. That's cool.

So anyway, yeah, shout out glide. Shout out glide and his fan for a host and us. Yeah, fun times. Good weekend. Shall we do our reviews of the week? Let's do it. Would you guys be interested in a little bit? I would.

Yes. Lindsay Saria wrote an amazing one. Did she? Yeah, it's amazing. You're going to have to buckle up for it. Okay. Let me pull it up real quick, but it is unreal.

Her username is Mrs. Joe Jonas 525, which is just amazing because I think this is an older, oh shoot, older screen or, you know, username, but at the same time she stays true to that to this day. It's not letting me see the whole thing on my computer, so let me pull it up my phone. Mrs. Joe Jonas, 525, it's a five-star review. Constant and friendship, it says.

I've been listening to this podcast for five years now, and I've often thought to myself, I really need to leave a review, but it has always felt so overwhelming because I wanted to review, sorry, because I wanted the review to be perfect. It was hard to put into words what a silly comedy podcast about nothing has meant to me. But at the end of the day, the two words that come to my mind the most are constant and friendship. For every single Monday and for the past couple years, every single Wednesday, Jake and Brad have shown up for me and countless other ghosties every single time. No matter what was going on in my life, I could always count on the comforting feeling of knowing I had an hour and a half of laughs and inside jokes from two Midwest

best friends ahead of me. I've been listening to Jake and Brad since before I had kids, through multiple moves, through major family health issues. But no matter what was going on in my life, Jake and Brad have been one of the few constants. As far as friendship goes, not only as Jake and Brad's friendship inspired me, but has formed friendships in my life. Strongest friendship being with my cousin Maddie, who became a ghosty convert, and now has given us something to bond over. We've written jingles together, and we almost always, or almost exclusively communicate with Ghostrunner's gifts. And one of the most cherished and memorable parts of our friendship happened when we were

able to have the opportunity to go on vacation with Jake and Brad and 40 other ghosties where many more true friendships were formed. The fact that these two podcasters, who I once looked at as small town celebrities, I now consider friends, is such a rare phenomenon, and I'm so grateful for it. The Ghostrunners podcast is a prime example of what can happen when you honor God with your life, even in what can feel mundane. Jake and Brad's faith, attitude, countenance, and the way they build others up and have a positive outlook on almost every situation has been such a testament to the joy that they have living inside of them because of Jesus. For a while, I thought I wanted to be more like Jake and Brad, but I think ultimately they've helped me realize that I want to be more like Jesus in the way that I live and treat other people.

The Ghostrunners podcast will forever be part of the fabric of my life, and I'm so grateful to Jake and Brad for the community. that they have formed for the constancy and friendship that they emanate so well. Love you guys. Sheesh. Whoa. I know. Pretty amazing. Wow.

Lindsay, thanks for taking the time to write all that. Yeah. Nice words. Yeah, truly. Yeah, so sweet. And probably. Fabric of your wife. Probably over, too kind.

You know, that's some of the things I'm like, wow. But Lindsay's awesome. And, yeah. What was your release here at? of the review. Mine was when she said she didn't want to be like us anymore. Mine was

having to say emanate. Thanks, Lindsay. Yeah. Mine is from Nick Taylor. He said, I've listened to every episode as they've been released

for three years straight. Even though this was my top podcast, I was only in the top 18% of listeners. Y'all have such a dedicated fan base and it's totally deserved. Keep up the good work. P.S. Jake, let's go flying

again soon. This is pilot Nick. This is the guy who taught me squawking. In my head, he's in like the southeast of the United States. Yeah, North Carolina. Okay. Yeah. Middle East. Middle East. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of flights there. Big squawker. Squawking.

Love it. Love it. Good reviews. Good reviews. Reviews, boys. Jingle or question mark? Time and C's song for us. What song? What was like a favorite choir concert song. They're all Handles Messiah.

Can I tell you something? Yeah? My wife loves Handels Messiah. Oh, sorry. Let me, let me make a different facial expression because I was saying, I was making kind of a disgusted one because of singing a solo, but I love it too. I just want to tell you to. Why do you don't think Jake knows Handles Messiah?

No, no, I just said, pretend I'm not here. I just said, ah, it's all handles Messiah. And then you... Just sing every part of Handels Messiah. Can you... Is that too hard? for you? I don't know. Let's see. And the glory, the glory

of the Lord, and the glory of the Lord shall be Reveeat. Cut me off anytime. Reveal it shall be reveal. Come me up now, please. Please. Make me stop. It me stop. Force me to stop. Force me. Force me. So that's nice. Come to a festival of Christmas next year for it to sound

better than that. That was sweet, Timon. Thanks. Yeah, our church did, what they call it, Kansas City Christmas, it's like this Christmas concert, you know, kick off the year or kick off the season. And Catherine was kind of bummed. They didn't do He handles Messiah at the end of it. It's great. So I found out this past weekend that it's a thing to stand during the Hallelujah course. Oh, yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah. I knew that. But only because I've experienced it a few times. I don't think I was like, why is it, we got to stand right now. And it's funny, I think I realized how unobservant to a person I am because I realized it the second night. And they had definitely set up the first night. And I was like, I mean, when you're on stage, the audience

is dark, but yeah. Like, in fact, the show went well. I didn't love they kind of did like a fire drill toward the holiday part and what all the shuffling around was. I know, throughout the finale. Real quick, how do we feel about standing ovations and like, like, what kind of person are you a standing ovation. I'm typically like, oh, we're doing this. Yeah, like how many, like, how, what percentage does it take before you're up? I'll follow the crowd. There won't be a smile on my face.

For that, he's seven years old. Okay, okay, fine. Okay, sure. Yeah. I mean, he's the lead. I guess we'll do it. Great. I know they put a lot of work into it.

It's just not for me. I grew up playing sports. Yeah. There's a lot harder things than singing on a stage. They didn't even, the British accent. They didn't have cuts. I needed subtitles for a lot of that.

I don't even know which one. Maria even is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm definitely like, I'm never going to be the first one to stand up. Or like the first 10% even. Yeah. Every once in a while you see that happen

where it's like standing ovation, but only 10% of the audience is standing. Oh, it is rough when the rest don't go. It's like, and you don't want, like, I always want the people that are standing when everyone else is. is not to look around and be like, stand up. Like, get kind of mad about it.

But they're not going to, you know, because it's like, it's not about me, but I'm embarrassed right now that you're not standing with me. I think I usually find myself in the first 30%. Do you? Not quick Twitch fibers. That's kind of a leadership. I think that's at about 30% though. Not, I'm never in the first five.

Like I, you know what I mean? Well, because I think it goes from like, you know, zero to 10 like takes a while. Those are early adopters. And then 10 to 30 also kind of takes a second, but then 30 to 30 to 100. It's almost simultaneous. Yeah. Yeah. So if you're in the first 30, good for you, honestly.

Thanks. I'm more of like a, if we're all doing it, I'll do it. But I'm okay. Like, I think they got it. They see some people. They know who are appreciated. I think the point's taken. Yeah.

Every now and then, there have been rare moments in my life where I'm in the audience. I see a performance. Yeah. And I go, I'll never forget this. I'm standing up. I just can't remember him. He's going to do just fine, Nashville, guys. Come on.

That's good. But actually, I can't remember. I was like, there have been times you're like, that was amazing. I will be standing when this is over. Correct. There's,

there's, there's certain times where I'm like, I'm excited to give them their props. Other times it's like, well, I'm not going to be the jerk

that's sitting down while everyone else is standing. Yeah. I just want to, I just want to, like, truly like appreciate and feel it. I don't want to just be like, we always stand for the ending.

I don't know. Do you guys, have you always gotten a standing ovation every time you've done a performance time. Oh, I don't think so. No? I don't,

I actually, that's a hard question for me for some reason. Okay. It's like asking me what I did yesterday. Yeah, it's tough. It's really kind of impossible to answer. That's tough. I'm not sure. I feel like it's probably more common than not, but I don't, I definitely can't

confidently say every time it happens. I feel like the sound of music shows in that big old venue, like I feel like we got standing ovation. But I feel like that, that venue that you came to see sense and sensibility at, was there a standing ovation after that? Do you guys remember? Talk about something I don't remember very well. Yeah.

This is the first Greenleaf show. show we ever saw that the candle lady yeah yeah yeah do you remember if there was a standing ovation because i should know i'd be quizzed on this all i remember is honestly i remember the show but i remember great and like like kind of being a twitchy guy that's that's about like the experience specifically and in the like candle i bet there was a standing ovation knowing that room that crowd us sometimes i think it's almost uncomfortable not to have a Theta ovation. Yeah.

Like we're too, we were, I could have whispered a time in during that musical. Like, so true. We're too close. So just like,

so you guys just do your thing and I'm just sitting there like, good job, man. Yeah, it's almost like, I got to stand. It's been two and a half hours. I want to stand.

Yeah, I bet we stood. So, yeah. All right. Thanks guys for listening. As always. Thanks for the reviews.
