Aloha and welcome listeners episode 5 of the Ghost Runners podcast. Brad is here for this episode. Give it up for Brad. Thank you. Thank you. A big week for you Brad. You bought a truck. I did. And people probably don't know this but you had never listened to a podcast before and you were four episodes deep into a podcast before you'd ever listened to one. Yes. So this is a big week for you because you listened to your first one as well. I did. My new truck has a lot more accessible way to listen to your phone. The last one, you know, I had the old tape adapter.

Yeah. It was fuzzy and you go. Yeah. And you got to crank that sucker to hear a podcast. Right. The old 95 Ford was not quite as nice as this new truck. And so I had the opportunity to listen to some podcasts on the way home from the dealership. I bought the truck down in Oklahoma.

So I had about five hours to kill and got into all sorts of different podcasts. Tried some different ones out. Actually, I credit one of my friends, Connor Lamb. He's the one that drove us down there. Nice guy. Yeah, drove me down to Oklahoma because he was also going to Oklahoma that day. And he was like, well, let's listen to this one podcast um it was armchair expert by dax shepherd he's kristen bell's husband cool and does he like being known by that um probably not but i mean kristen bell is kind of a big deal okay Okay. You know, she's Elsa, I think, maybe. Really? I think that's true.

I thought Elsa was animated. Jake, you know. I'm confused. The voice of Elsa. Oh. Tim Allen is not Buzz Lightyear, but. No, he's not. He's the voice.

Yeah. He's in the voice? Yes. CeeLo Green was actually Tim Allen. That'd be cool to have one, just like, just a talent-based competition with judges who don't know what they're judging, really. Like, one episode of The Voice is just like, I don't know, Tom Hanks. Let's see. LeBron James.

LeBron James is on there. And then I was going to say, for some reason, the first that came to mind was the like old infomercial guy who's dead and that's why I like paused for so long I was like yeah I was like don't say him but that's all I could think of I didn't even mean to do that I really didn't that could be fun

a lot of Steve's are dead but yeah funny thing about podcasts I was just thinking about this on the way over here is is gonna screw with your mind a little bit maybe not i don't know like the audience the people listening to this podcast right now know what the podcast is titled like they know the future in a way like they know something that we're gonna say that we don't know yet you know we don't plan this we don't know what we're about to talk about monkey bars oh that's why it's called that yeah because we said that yeah or like and they know how long we're going to talk and we

don't know that it's deep man that is deep it's not that deep but it's just kind of weird to think about it's kind of wild it's mild i would say it's outer core deep it's like the mantle yeah i would say mantle deep it's yeah it's i mean it's more than the crust but it's not uh how was your talk with uh samantha last night did you guys get into it i would say we got mantle deep yeah it wasn't bad we didn't go all the way back to childhood or like trauma but like i definitely heard about how you know crazy college was for her mantle deep yeah if only people talk more like geologists you know their day i've said that for years i would love for people to talk more like geologists. How was, yeah, like. That fight was huge.

I get erupted like Vesuvius. We're just having trouble right now. Just like, you know, we're just kind of two tectonic plates just kind of crashing into each other. Just creating. We just need to get on our topographical map and just really. We need to feel this out. Feel this out. We need to feel this out good topography baby

and i think we've exhausted everything we could say about geology that was good though i don't know i'm sure we could fjord the river find some more i don't know what i was trying to think of something with igneous rock so that wasn't gonna go any better than fjord the river fjords are cool though you ever been in a fjord no you have i have been a fjord cool word to say cool word to spell cool thing to see you were in a fjord in new zealand this episode is actually sponsored by fjords cool word to spell cool word to say i just bought a fjord f-150 wow this is super sponsored yeah uh built fjord tough yes uh yeah fjords in new zealand good times even on a rainy day i tried to go to new zealand one time uh but i couldn't afford it nice oh man we are hilarious oh boy

i uh after i went down there i just i really enjoyed it because i discovered like just like a new zealand purpose for my life that I didn't have beforehand, you know? Yes, for sure. Yes. Anyway, fjords are cool. Yeah, that was really good. I don't have anything to say to that. Fjords, you saw one in New Zealand.

Yeah, Milford Sound. It's a cruise you could take. It's a good time. What was I going say about where how did we get here we got derailed quick i don't even know whatever we're talking about i don't know where we got i was trying to make another uh you know geographical joke oh we're talking about poor goodness gracious and deep holy cow and we got to our sponsors already don't even have to do an ad read we already said the right the fjord slogan and uh man solid first five minutes it's all going to be downhill from here

thank you guys for listening uh this has been episode five uh what else you've been up to this week brad uh let's see a lot of little things like uh you know when you run your own business so i have a woodworking business it's obviously the end product is me selling a table to somebody, but there's so much more in between. So I've just been working a lot on accounting and, you know, correspondence with different people and emails and marketing posts and all that kind of stuff. So I haven't actually done a whole lot of construction in the shop lately, but just been doing a lot more back end business kind of stuff. Not getting your hands dirty, but getting your getting getting your Facebook dirty a little bit. Yes.

Getting your spreadsheets a little dirty. Yes. And honestly, that exhausts me more than actually doing physical labor. A lot of times. Really? You break a mental sweat? Genuinely. Like I go and I sit down and I email somebody and sometimes these emails, you know, because

it's a pretty personalized email exactly for them and their custom-made piece and so sometimes they take an hour long to write and i'm trying to and i'm trying to you know that's long sell somebody a pretty expensive thing you know almost strictly through emails and pictures a lot of times they come and look at it and i talk to a person but other times we just correspond electronically and so i'm really trying to make sure i'm careful with every word i say and they come and look at it and I talk to a person, but other times we just correspond electronically. And so I'm really trying to make sure I'm careful with every word I say and give them enough information, but not too much information.

You know, I always tell people, I don't know. I go back and forth on that. Sometimes I think phone's good because I can talk. I'd rather just have to talk to everybody in person. Yeah. But that's not always realistic for

certain people or whatever so i go back and forth on all that stuff and i try to figure out how much information is too much versus not enough you know because i don't want i don't want to freak you don't get mantle deep and have you're trying to save the crust well yeah i don't want to have a five-page email and somebody's like oh my gosh i'm not gonna read this this is you know you know you're paralyzed by information but i also don't want it to seem like i'm kind of just lax about everything and then sure hey just yeah just just spend three thousand dollars on this dining set and nope you know it'll be fine so how long have you been when did you quit cerner like where are we at timeline three years i think it's been four years now since I left. A full Olympics. Yeah. On your own. Well, that's, that's how I know. Um, is Sochi.

From the 2015 Olympics. Whatever that 2015, you know, the trials, the trials back in 2015. Yeah. No, that's kind of my benchmark for a time. Um, yeah, I think it was August of 2015. So it's coming up on four years. That's pretty cool. Yeah, it is pretty cool. You're supporting a family with your hands. It's pretty wild. It's really fun though. I don't know if I'll ever be able to go back to not being self-employed. I know you are too.

And I don't know if you, would you ever want to have a job not working for yourself? Not having your own flexible. Yeah, it's hard to imagine doing that. But then again, I don't really know what it's like. Like you've worked in an office and you've seen both sides of it. I mean, the grass is always going to be greener in some aspects on the other side. Yeah, there's always going to be aspects of it that sound nice.

Like, ooh, dental insurance? Yeah, and less responsibilities. Yeah, like being able to leave work and actually be done with it. Yeah, totally. Yeah, there's always going to be parts that are attractive. But yeah, I've only ever known a crazy flexible schedule. So I think it'd be hard to have something with more rigidity. I mean, it's just so nice.

And this is such a simple idea, but it's so nice to be able to get paid for how hard you work. It is great because it feels like this is how it should be. This is great. And guess what? In the corporate world, that is not always the case. And it's so frustrating. That was the most frustrating thing to me is like, and I'm not saying I was the hardest worker ever, but I definitely worked harder than some people that were getting paid far more than I was simply

because they started. I'm so sorry. Oh my God. Um, simply because they started, you know, two years before I did or something like that. So that frustrated me. And now it's like, hey, I didn't work that hard this week. And it shows because I didn't get paid any money. I mean, a lot of peanut butter sandwiches this week. Right. So anyway, I don't know. I don't know what the future holds for me.

I don't know what the future holds for you, but. I don't think anyone knows. I mean, the podcasters that are listening. That's true. They know what we're going to talk about. Yeah. Speaking of the future holds for you but i don't think anyone knows i mean the podcasters that are listening that's true they know what we're going to talk about yeah speaking of future have you ever been to a psychic you ever like got your palm read or anything like that no uh my parents i have not and i don't ever think i will but growing up we went to this like my dad was like a work party one time they had this palm reader or something my parents were like hey we're not going to do that like i thought it would be kind of interesting to do sure and my parents were pretty like they weren't like strict parents like that like they weren't like you know the stereotypical christian like super

strict weirdo parents but at the same time they were like no we don't believe in that kind of stuff so no i have not and i probably never will but what was their stance on that scene in the wizard of oz where they had the crystal ball? Yeah. See, that's what I'm saying. Like, they were not crazy weirdos like that. Like that. Well, sorry.

They were pro Wizard of Oz. Are you going to tell me that your parents were like. No, no. I don't know why I just thought of that. I just like I just thought of that crystal ball ball scene. I mean, I know there and I can understand like why people would be upset about those things. You're like, don't want their kids to watch harry potter because whatever magic is not real but i'm like no my parents were never weird about this stuff

and i mean growing up in kansas you have to be a fan of everything wizard of oz sure it's like part of that yeah so that's how i am with george washington carver right from missouri yeah well he lived in olathe for a stint. No, he didn't. I promise. When he was like 10 years old. Oh, that crushes me. Oh my gosh. I thought he was born and bred.

Missouri. Mark Twain, though. Mark Twain. Yeah, yeah. Tom Sawyer. Let's go. Nelly. And that's it.

No. Truman. We got a president. Take that, Kansas. Harold S. Oh. Dwight Eisenhower. Still.

Truman dropped a big one. Two big ones. Dwight did okay. He was involved. Yeah, he was. I'm scared to talk about too much history. It's not really my sweet spot. I was corrected a couple episodes ago. I said that Teddy Roosevelt purchased Louisiana. Apparently not true.

You said that I believed it because you seemed confident, but I did not know that for sure. Oh, I got my Theodore's. No, wait, no. Gosh, now I'm screwing up again. It was Thomas Jefferson. I was like, Louisiana purchased was a long time ago. Yeah, I was like, no, it's just like a hundred years ago. Oh, man. Yeah, so I'm screwing up again. It was Thomas Jefferson. I was like, Louisiana Purchase was a long time ago. Yeah, I was like, no, this was like 100 years ago. Oh, man.

Yeah, so I'm going to try to refrain from history. I learned, so Harry S. Truman, this, never mind. I don't even. History hour? This might not be true. Exactly, but it's somewhat similar. Harry S. Truman was kind of a shady guy from what I understand. I mean, anyone in politics is probably going to have some shady stuff in their closet.

So there's a restaurant in Kansas City called the Jacobson. Okay. And it used to be, before it was a restaurant, it used to be Harry S. Truman's Haberdashery. I don't know what that word means. I didn't either. Let me tell you what it means. Let me guess. It is a place.

Haberdashery. Haberdashery. So if you pronounce it Haberdashery, it is, I'm just kidding. What? There's a Haberdashery and there's a Haberdashery and there's a Hab haberdashery, it is, I'm just kidding. What? There's a haberdashery and there's a haberdashery and there's a haberdashery. I'm just kidding. I think it is a place where I think the wheat and the barley that is going to be put into beer is stored before it is made into beer. Yeah, I mean.

How close was I? Also also are those things even in beer wheat and barley i don't know i'm not a big beer guy barley's definitely i don't know if wheat always is okay i think it is i'm not either wheat based yeah i think it's they call it liquid bread so i bet wheat and barley but like wheat i've definitely heard of that but wheat yes uh you know boulevard wheat sure yeah can you tell me what it is now uh haberdashery is just a clothing store i was close uh like i think it's like a fine like you know high-end male clothing store what a long word for just clothing store hey come to my haberdashery come to what my store in the store um speaking of it wait i have things to say about hey sorry do you

have it's fine whatever what do you say i have this video idea say about her sorry do you have it's fine whatever what do you say i have this video idea that i want to do or maybe it's yeah i guess it'd be a video idea of like being because this has happened to me before like on a cruise ship or whatever where they're doing the different languages of people on the cruise ship and so they'll say like you know the french and air the announcement in french you know it's going for like 60 seconds and then the english version is like stand by for emergency procedures you're like what surely surely we did not get all the french got way more information than i did they are screwing you talk to them for 60 seconds and you just told me like you know whatever uh just put your seatbelt on

you'll figure it out yeah yeah just uh hang on like whoa i'm trying to talk to the french people like what did they say to you they didn't tell you about the life raft in the secret room to go in oh man oh well you're in for world of hurt the password that you have to get you know did go in the secret well yeah i was writing stuff down when they were saying it yeah it was a lot of detailed info yeah somebody's like listening and like frantically writing down. In their language. And then the English are just like, Stand by?

Coast is clear. Yeah. No, it's not. Why did you say all that? Okay, sorry. Back to haberdashery. It's fine. Harry S. Truman just had a haberdashery that he ran back in the day.

Okay. In Kansas City, in the Jacobson, this restaurant now. When does it get sketchy? Apparently, there were just lots of sketchy things that went in and out. Like, I think he had ties to the Mafia. Mob? Mafia. Mafia.

The Mafia. Based on Lafia. Back in the day. I don't know. That's all I know, is that he had some ties. Hmm. He, uh, I never met the guy. Have you been to his house? Where is it? In Independence, Missouri. He, uh, I never met the guy. Have you been to his house?

Where is it? In Independence, Missouri. Oh, no, never been. Did you know that Eminem was born in St. Joseph? I did know that. Detroit gets all the recognition. Eight mile. Eight mile, yeah.

But how many miles to St. Joe? Don't forget about I-35. Yeah. So many more miles than eight. Fun fact. Take that, Kansas two you're right you're right well let's not let's not go into that because i i think kansas is amazing and kansas kansas i learned after living here for a while have way more pride than uh missourians do like you know when it's national or not national, you just know when it's like Kansas day on Instagram. You don't know when it's Missouri day. I think it's because Kansas, no one, no one thinks Kansans or non-Kansas.

No one thinks that Kansas is like the best state, but I think a lot of people think Kansas is one of the worst states in the country and it's definitely not. So it's easier to rally if you feel like an underdog a little bit. Like I think, and I think that like my wife is from Texas and she has so much Texas pride, like all Texans do. And it's just kind of annoying because it's like, of course, Texas is cool. Like no one's arguing that. You have like six major cities.

Like the original six flags. That's all you need to boast about. Right. Plus Mark Cuban. Right. Plus the cubes. Those two things. You know, but Kansas, like just people just

overthink it all the time. And then they come to Kansas and they're like, Oh, this is pretty great. I like Kansas. It's, you know, a lot of, they got haberdasheries, nice people. Yeah. Um, lots of, lots of haberdasheries and a lot of habs. Um, you know, I think that's probably why people have a little more pride for kansas and like outspoken pride because it's not as because no one else is gonna like well document talk about it for you yeah one of our friends is from montana yeah josh i don't know how much he loves montana or not but i would imagine like i bet i think of montana the same way most people think about kansas or it's like why would you ever live in Montana? What's there to do in Montana? I do feel that way about some of those states.

Yeah. The Dakotas? Yeah. Oh. Really, all those things up there. Yeah. Idaho. But I'm sure Idaho's awesome.

Like, my cousin. Boise, I've heard, is really cool. Random tidbit about that. You're actually supposed to pronounce it Boise. Don't. Yeah. Don't do that. Boise.

Boise. You're supposed to kind of like kuba whistle your your ass a little bit boise you know you're uh an out-of-towner if you're calling a boise okay you know you're not a sputter that's what they call uh people from like sputter like with the d like like spud like a bacon spud yep from a callister's deli yep which i'll be having after this now a little spud uh i went to a psychic once yeah to get back on that perfect um not necessarily me but me ty and kyle we were down in new orleans oh yeah limo tour thing and the psychic stopped us and so yeah she read kyle's tarot cards and

everything yeah and it was just like the silliest like she wouldn't let us sit on a certain side of him like no you need to sit behind me i don't know what that like why that matters oh you definitely had to yeah yeah no she's like i prefer you not sit over there um it's already weird and then like all the like prophecies or the readings were just like you're courageous but not all the time uh and you want to be bold but there's something holding you back it's like yeah these are just things these are just like a horoscope where every single like horoscope is like really nice you know and very generic that everyone could apply to their life like i have had courage before no that is but you know what there was one time where i didn't

have courage gosh this girl's good how does she do it I try not to dog on horoscopes too much just because I have legitimate friends who are like really into them. Yeah. But one thing I have an issue with that comes up all the time is this happened, what, two, three weeks ago when I was in New York City. I'm at this party meeting a bunch of people for the first time. And this girl's like, oh, no, what's your sign? And I was like, I legitimately don't know.

I think it's Virgo, but I couldn't even tell you. And so she's like, she looks it up. Okay, you are Virgo. tell me a little about yourself and uh she's like oh that is surprising that you're a virgo then and i'm already thinking like this is why it's bs like because it has nothing and then the very next girl comes up oh you're an aries oh that surprises me that you're an aries like do you not see the fallacy here very often you were saying oh that's surprising that does not line up at all. Either she doesn't know what she's talking about or the horoscopes don't, or maybe a

little bit of both. Maybe the month you're born in doesn't determine your personality. I have had the thought though, that maybe it kind of does. And then I realized that's what horoscopes are because I had the thought of like, what? Yeah. Sorry. Um, like since it was confusing, like whenever you, I had, I had the thought of whenever you were born does kind of

help define your personality types but in the order and then i realized wait a second that's that's what horoscopes are and i like crap but i don't think i don't believe in the horoscopes thing necessarily but i believe in like i think that sometimes if you were born in a certain month of the year and you go to a traditional school that means that you're going to be one of the oldest people in your grade. And sometimes I think that makes a difference in your leadership because the oldest person in your, you know, sophomore year of high school, you're driving before everybody else. That can play into developing you a little bit. I think it does.

And I'm not saying like it's everything and you can't be a leader if you're, if you have a June birthday or something. You're born in March, yeah, good luck. Yeah, you're if you have a june born in march yeah good luck yeah you're done you're done little kid uh yeah go ahead and just get some office job and try and work your way right good luck though but i really do i don't know i've had that thought and maybe that's because i'm a november birthday so i'm on the first half of the you know yeah i'm one of the older kids and so i think like you know i felt older than other people. Maybe that's like, yeah. I'm an August birthday.

So you're talking to the king, baby. Sometimes August are the youngest. Sometimes they're the oldest. August 27th. Yeah. Second week of school. Oh yeah. Birthday.

Celebrate. I definitely think that has a difference. That makes a difference. I don't know. I would have to think about it more. I'm a big believer in birth order. Like being the firstborn. Oh yeah.

Yeah. Like you can almost call that out in people. Like I've done it before. Like I can tell you're like the youngest child. You before like i can tell you're like the youngest you're more type a if you're the oldest you're more free spirit if you're the youngest yeah sometimes not always yeah i feel like it's more just like you're more likely to be a leader if you're the oldest born you're more responsible more likely to be rebellious if you're the youngest oh middle child's those rebels middle child's kind of wild card in general true they they need attention because they didn't get it whatever we're not psychologists we should probably not

talk about this any longer the whole we are historians we are historians and geologists though that i feel very comfortable talking about uh something i've wanted to like i don't know somehow make fun of i don't know instagram story whatever i remember back in the day back in buzz feeds heyday when all you saw on facebook was just list and which movie character are you or whatever. Oh, yeah. Like later in college, I remember seeing this list that stuck with me because, yeah, it's like a psychic thing or like a horoscope thing. It was 25 reasons why you are an introverted extrovert.

And I swear this list just described humans. It just described what a human being is. And it was like and then all these people are sharing it oh my gosh i never knew which one i was this is me like i'm an introverted extrovert like sometimes at night you get tired and have to sleep but other times you stay up till 2 a.m it's like oh i have done that does it know how does it know you appreciate good quality conversations with other people that care about you but other times you can't be bothered to talk to someone because you're in a bad mood. Oh my gosh.

I have been in a bad mood. Yeah, because sometimes I'm extroverted, sometimes I'm introverted. Just yesterday, I had a little bit of a bad mood spell. I was a little bit of a tiff. Gosh. Yeah, I've always thought that was the silliest thing and I never really did anything about it, but it just stuck with me. I'm just like, BuzzFeed, just like, I don't know.

Just, I mean i mean hey good for them they capitalized on there's this phenomenon and i think it's more of a societal thing that's never going to go away and that we all want to feel special now this is me just kind of coming off the top here this is sounding like a thesis but i think we all want to feel special we all want to feel unique and the internet kind of is more of a catalyst for that uh and like there's this phenomenon going on of just like that you see in girls a lot and i don't want this to be the white guy doxes on girls because it's more just like i see a lot of memes a lot of tweets that are all like other girls just want to go out to the club but i just want to stay in and eat pizza and watch netflix and those these

types of that type of content blows up on the internet because so many people think that's so unique and it's just like it's so popular now to be like the unique girl phenomenon and it just drives me crazy the reason that it's blowing up is because there's way more of those kind of people than the people that want to go to the club yeah and what annoys me is it like it tears down these other girls who do that like i'm not like these other girls who just want to twerk i'd rather eat it's like first of all you can do both second of all like i don't know it's just like i've just been noticing it for years and years just like and guys do it too but girls are just more active on social media so you see it

more just like this is so me yes i would i would so much rather be in my pajamas than wear cute clothes like okay you're not that unique i could tell you're not really resonating with this so i'll shut up about it no no it's great i'm resonating i just don't think as deeply as you do about it probably because i have a wife and i don't analyze girls okay dude hey just throw that quick little jab in there probably because i found love probably because i am loved by others and i'm just kidding oh that's too far i love you jake thank you dude yeah i love you and your wife what well not too much yeah not too much not a ton appropriate amount yeah plutonic love yeah she, she's great. She's cool. Well, yeah.

You have a sippy cup next to your microphone right now. I do. What is that? The other day I was on Hattie duty while Catherine went and had some time with her friends. And so we went to the park and we brought her a little baby doll and some different food. Oh, this is not a real drink. This is what the baby doll drinks. Oh, you knew. I couldn't tell't there could have been a little hole no this is uh orange it's pretty nasty looking orange juice and for the longest time this is how granola katherine is and now

how granola hattie is uh hattie called this bone broth not orange juice but called it bone broth oh wow we're in 2019 baby you want some bone broth and it's like oh boy yeah that's funny bone broth kombucha she's she's all about everything like that so um but yeah we went to the park earlier today and it was fun it's a good time she calls orange liquid bone broth she's two years old not anymore i think she calls it juice now but uh she did for a long time she's like look at this bone broth yeah so that's great yep that's my daughter uh do we want to get on with our game today yes we'll see if we can keep this up or the playing a game last week was fun i had a lot of conversation i don't know if we can i was thinking about this um after i beat you in this game is that i very rarely beat you in anything. Really?

I think that's true. I think I beat you in settlers a pretty good amount. Yeah. And that's about it. Any video games we play, you usually beat me for sure. Uh, sports.

You're better than me at most of the time. And if it, if it, if it, if your team does lose to me, it's not like because you were worse and I was better. It's because my team, I had better players on my team. You're trying to score some points on these podcast games you're trying to even score a little bit no i'm not not necessarily i'm just saying in general i just don't beat you

very often so it was kind of a fun thing yesterday to to win speaking of video games though remember the madden competition we had that was fun and i was i was better than you for a while and then you got good and you figured figured it out. Something happened. Something clicked. That's just classic Jake. It's like you can be very unfamiliar with something, and somebody else can know what they're doing, and you can pick it up so quickly and then be better than them at it. Because, yes, we played old school PS2 Madden.

We bought a PS2 on Craigslist from somebody. $25. It was in Macy's parking lot. I did the deal. Yes. old school ps2 madden we bought a ps2 on craigslist yes uh from somebody 25 dollars to the macy's parking lot i did the deal yes and we got you know whatever madden 2009 or something yeah old school because we were like the old maddens were way better than the new ones and that's what we had played we grew up playing these i didn't have any brothers i always played against a computer for 10 years of my life i never played against another person no i didn't know that really i thought that's kind of why this got started or either way i think we both just thought I always played against a computer for 10 years of my life. I never played against another person. No, I didn't know that. Really? I thought that's kind of why this got started.

Either way, I think we both just thought we were really good. So like, let's do this. Yeah. And so we basically said we were going to try to beat the other person with every team. So we got this big, like a couple big sheets of like poster board. We wrote down every, all 32 NFL teams and then just like a checklist on each side. We didn't, we didn't get past or through it all, but you were definitely beaten. We never finished it.

I went off to – You went on a streak and it was – Did I go to Canicook or did I move to Dallas? Something ended it. I think you might have gone to camp. Either way, my bad. I don't know though. It doesn't matter.

Anyway, I don't beat you very often. And when I do, you bounce back. This game does not have a winner or loser though it's just the score is going to be fun to fun when we're over with this one uh how this is going to work is brad and i have each prepared uh just situational things it'll make sense once we get going and then we're each going to say like if we do that thing or if we don't do that thing um i think the best way to show you is just to start okay you want to start brad okay yes so the first one i have is brushing your teeth

every night every single night yes do we just count down one two three and then sure okay one two three no okay good i'm kind of embarrassed about that though yeah what what are the situations when you don't i'm just lazy yeah and brushing your teeth and showering are things i don't like doing because i can't be efficient like i can't multitask while i do them unless you brush your teeth while showering or going to the bathroom or do you combo it all the time really pretty often you brush your teeth in the shower yes all the time almost exclusively in the morning huh i will a lot of times put the toothpaste on the toothbrush put it in the shower and then you let your toothpaste sit a little bit yeah is that weird i don't know

i just could collect dust oh it feels weird oh gosh to leave it out wait so where do you keep your toothbrush in general sometimes like right now you keep your toothbrush? In general? Mm-hmm. Sometimes I keep it in the shower. Like right now, where is your toothbrush? Oh, it's probably just in the little holder by the sink. Little holster? Yeah. Yeah, I guess I could multitask on those two things that I don't like doing, but it's hard

for me to look forward to showering because I'm like, I'm just going to stay in there and not do anything. Well, you also shower for a long time. Well, then once I get in there, I'm like, oh, this is amazing. I'm not distracted by my phone. Any good idea. The Ellen bought a limo idea that happened in the shower like so many like good ideas i've had when i used to like write more comedy stuff i would just shower when i needed to like come up with stuff um so once i get there it's fine but brushing my teeth i'm just like this is gonna be two minutes of just not accomplishing anything that's funny so yeah i, I don't always do it.

I, yeah, I will always do it in the morning. I don't always do it at night. That was a good one. I'm at least glad that we're on the same team here. Yeah. Baseball is finally back.

Have you ever asked to speak to a manager? Three, two, one, no. Yes. Oh, I knew you had. Well, I didn't actually know. I was just, I had guessed that maybe you had. I'm trying to think of specifics. I've definitely asked on the phone.

To speak to someone's supervisor? Yeah, I get frustrated. I was like, okay, if this isn't going to work with you, then let's get somebody that can make this work. Yeah. Because I feel like I'm justified and you're not giving me the right thing here. In person? Like in a Best Buy? Have you ever like...

Yeah, I definitely have. I just can't think of what it was. I don't... I don't know. I can't remember a very specific time that I've done this, but I definitely think I've asked, and I think, and I wish I could remember more specifically, but I think that they just got scared when I said that,

and then said, okay, yeah, never mind. Like, in that case, whatever. Sometimes all it takes is just a threat. Yeah, yeah. There's this YouTuber that i follow and he recently got in a lot of trouble for like all these copyright issues and this company tried to take down all those videos and so he just responded to their tweet by saying i'm going to be pursuing legal action or something and like they they just took everything down he didn't even have a lawyer

you know he's just like this kid he just said i'm gonna be pursuing legal action scared him and then they're like oh crap and so now that's like his thing i think he makes like merch now that says like pursuing legal action because it was such a big deal that like they got him to back down but then they they didn't once that's interesting that he then like just revealed that he did that and that people didn't just come back and think about that well okay if you're bluffing it's not like it's too late, right? Yeah, I don't know. I never even thought about that. Interesting.

Okay, your turn. What do you got? Okay. Tipping a barista. One. Hold on. Let me think. Hold on.

Like a Starbucks barista? Let's just say any time they flip over that electronic screen and it says, no tip, 10, 20, 30, custom. Okay. One, two. Wait, is this have you ever or like do you? Do you regularly? Do you? Do you?

Yes, I have ever. I have before, but I don't regularly. I have never. Never? Never on the flip around screen not that i can remember because to me i'm already paying a high dollar premium amount of money for something in those situations like a four four dollar seventy cent latte yeah it's a lot it's a latte it's a latte that's an easy one um i know maybe i feel bad saying that though the only time

i ever have is i can remember specifically just like a month or two ago i had just like i had talked to this barista before i'd even ordered for like five minutes there was no one in line behind me we just had a good conversation not like i was like oh i'm gonna i'm into her i'm gonna get her attention by tipping her but just like i don't know i feel like this is a pleasant experience you should get tipped yeah if you provide a good customer experience. So, and she's right there. She's looking at me. She can see where my finger goes.

That's the thing. They know what side of the screen you're on. They know. They know where you're sitting. Oh, I know. Well, and a lot of times it's like. But also, I don't know if that money even goes to them. Exactly.

Because it's electronically. That's part of it. Or like Oklahoma Joe's always has a place for you to tip. Like it's a barbecue place in Kansas City. You just literally order, go through the line. They give you your food and your drink, but they always have a place for you to tip. I'm like, what would I tip you for?

That's any different than any other place that I'm not tipping places for. Yeah. You know, I don't like you prepare my food for me, which is what I'm paying for. Yeah. There's no like additional fee here. It's just funny. Here's the situation I'm in currently.

I found my new favorite pizza place. Which is what? Casey Kitchen and Pizzeria. It's right by where I live and it's open till 3 a.m. They got something on that and that crust. Oh, it's so good. And I downloaded their app where I can order it mobily. When you order it, it like automatically puts it, even if it's carry out, which is what I do.

I'll go and pick it up myself. But it adds in like a 20% tip automatically. And so you have to go in and like slide it to zero. Right. But I'm also like, okay, if this is the norm for them, they're used to getting tipped. Am I getting my food spit on if I take it down to zero? So the first time I left the tips, I'm like, I don't want them spitting on my food. I'd be interested in knowing anybody that has worked in food service. if you've known anybody that's actually spit on food or yeah done is that a myth you think or you think i mean surely it's not completely a myth but like how often does that happen yeah i don't know to somebody who just doesn't tip like if i can understand like if someone's being a jerk you'd be a little more

motivated to do something like that this is making me feel better they're not gonna spit my food just because i'm not tipping for a carryout order that yeah, I'm going to pick it up. I'll tip on delivery. Yes, I do tip on delivery as well. You tip on haircuts. I do. I feel bad not tipping. Yeah, I well, actually, I don't always though I but when I do I tip like, you know, because I go the same exact person every time Bill remember? How are you, buddy? Hey, Brad. How are you, buddy? Hey, Brad.

How are you, buddy? So I go to the same guy every time. And so usually I tip him like once out of every four times, but I tip him four times the amount. Oh, okay. You know, so like, cause like quick rant about my haircut place. It started out at $16 a haircut, moved out to 20. Now it is 23.

Thanks Obama. Maybe. And so I feel like I am already quote unquote tipping him. Cause I think Bill owns part of the barbershop. Okay. So I feel like I'm giving him obviously more money. Maybe his expenses have gone up a lot, but anyway, so usually I'll just give him 23,

25 bucks, but then maybe every once in a while I'll go like 35 bucks. Whoa. And he'll just, you know, beam with joy. He eats that up. I'm sure.

Beam with joy. So I do, I do tip my, my, my guy, but he's also, I also like him a lot. And so.

Great guy. How are you, buddy? Hey, Brad, how are you, buddy? All right. Next one. brad how are you buddy all right next one um do you when you're all alone talk out loud to yourself three two one no yes you're a talker huh every

once in a while i do i have some weird quirks by myself oh everyone does a little bit one of the things and this is not necessarily talking ah yes it is it's it's a weird thing it's not really like a word but you know in basketball like when people are going up for a layup and they kind of embellish a foul like hey you know what i'm talking about yeah i do that all the time and it's the weirdest thing in your home like i'll be getting in my truck and i'm like kind of like bending weird ah i'm like hey or i'll like you know the russell westbrook uh shimmy thing that he does where he kind of does like the back forth like one two three but the is like a

euro celebration move yeah it's like but he like he does like a celebration euro step after he makes it sometimes i don't know if i know this okay he kind of like takes his whatever this is you're doing right left right sometimes i do that as i go through a corner like like i will like let's say i'm about to turn left i will like go really hard right boom and then shift left and do like a little shimmy which i know is not talking to you to yourself but maybe sometimes i'll go you know shimmy hey um that's pretty weird i i also talk to myself every once in a while but it's not like i don't know i i mean i work by myself a lot so i probably sometimes i talk out loud to verbally process like really like okay 125 minus 36 and i say it out loud and it helps me it helps it out there. My, this were my calculations in my brain. I don't know. I don't,

Catherine's mom. I don't, maybe I should put my mother-in-law on blast right now. Here we go. But, uh, Catherine's dad and mom, they're happily married, but he works remotely, um, in San Antonio and she lives outside of Dallas and she, so she's lived by herself. I mean, he comes home quite a bit, but she lives by herself and has lived by herself. I mean, he comes home quite a bit, but she lives by herself and has lived by herself for probably like seven years now. And she legitimately talks to herself.

I've witnessed it from the other room. Full conversations. Yeah, she'll be like, okay, no, tomatoes. I don't think I need tomatoes in this. I don't know. It's pretty funny. Does she have a pet or anything? She does.

That can help diffuse the conversation a little bit. So maybe she is talking to Hank, the cat the cat hank what oh hank the cat hey he's a good cat that's so funny i love i've always thought that was so funny just the idea of like naming a dog barbara just very human names eugene get back here hey eugene sit hey gladys get over eat your food gladys get over here lois get back here i think that's so funny. I don't know why, but yeah, I've never been a talker. Every now and then, I might make a noise. Yesterday, I was really hot, and I was stressed, and I was running around like, ah! I think that's the most I'll ever do.

Really? Ah! Hot. Just very quiet. Yeah. I'm like, I don't know. It feels weird. It's the same reason I don't look in the mirror at myself when I work out.

Yeah. I don't want to address my own. Same reason. I'm like, look in the mirror myself when I work out. Yeah. I don't want to like address my own self too much. Oh man. I do like whenever I'm listening to music, I'll, I'll like kind of like embellish it and kind of do like beat box and like, you know, kind of get crazy with it by myself sometime. I don't know. I do weird things. Get wild. Okay. What's your next one? Okay. Uh, next one is uh have you no not have you ever yeah sure have you ever eaten bologna that's a funny one okay one two three yes for sure okay you can't grow up in strafford and not have some bologna you ever had i'll i'll raise you a little bit you ever had ring bologna yeah like it nasty look you gotta take off the ring though yeah don't forget that part

yeah it's not gonna taste good growing up my my mom made bologna sandwiches a lot do they even make bologna anymore it's surely people know that there's other stuff that tastes better than bologna by now i used to always get even when i went to like a sandwich like mr good sense i would always get the bologna oh really yeah big bologna guy i remember i don't know why this sticks out to me i was probably in middle school but i remember like my grandpa came into our house from like working in the farm he's like super hot and we're all just hanging out it's in the summer getting him something cold to drink and we're all sitting around just eating sandwiches and i think i had like a ham sandwich or something and then uh my grandpa gets done finishing his bologna sandwich

he goes that bologna is old he's like that is expired oh god like once he gets done eating it after he yeah yeah like last bite oh he's he's in trouble that bologna is expired like all right good to know it takes a lot for bologna to probably be expired because it's very processed it's gotta go through some nuclear fusion type stuff to really make it not taste good anymore. When do you think the last time you ate bologna was? I was probably 12. Yeah, it's been a long time for me too. Can I grow out of it?

I wonder if I would still enjoy it or if I would just feel like this is bad. I feel like I can remember what it tastes like still. Can you? Yeah. Wasn't great. I really liked it. It's hard to go back yeah we're turkey even that's a good one just ever had bologna um okay farting in an uber

do you do it would you't think so i think i would really try hard not to here's the thing here's the thing with farts though is that you can tell if they're gonna smell or not most of the time yeah most of the time you're like i kind of know what i've been everyone's while it surprises you and you're like oh i'm sorry whoopsie daisy yeah more acidic than i thought it was gonna be but for the most like, I might react to my answer to say yes, if and only if I know it's just a, you know, air shooter. Yeah, if it's more. Air cannon.

Yeah, just like a blank. Yeah. I've, like, planned it ahead a little bit. Like, oh, man, I'm a little gassy today. I'm going to get in this Uber, and I'm like, hey, I'm a little warm. Can I roll the window down? Oh. He thinks it's about the temperature.

Turns out, not that warm. I'm trying to help ventilate this back seat. Then he's like, oh, we'll just turn up the AC. No problem. Like, oh. I'm really like natural air. Yeah, no. I'm trying to, you know, cut down on greenhouse gases.

I, yeah, I saw Planet earth and I don't want these, or I saw our planet. I don't want to, the walrus is the wall, right? Uh, do you take Uber as much? I don't even know if that question was relevant. I mean, not in Kansas city, but I do whenever I go on vacations and stuff. Last one I took was when I went to Las Vegas. I don't know how relatable this is, but I think decently often, I would dare to say 40% of the time, I get in an Uber and they will ask me a question concerning the directions.

All right, where are we headed today? First of all, that one right off the bat irritates the dickens out of me. I am paying you for a very specific service and it is to use the app, use the address I've already provided and take me there. Don't ask.'s on the phone stop at and then i don't know why i do that maybe that's just to start a conversation though yeah well they should do a better job they should make it more maybe he's saying like you're on the airport oh what's it there for i don't know a little bit yeah i guess it could be that i think other times it's just like all right now where are we headed and like he hasn't started driving yet like tell me where are we headed and i'm always not super nice i'm like oh it's on the app

yeah you know like like every other ride you've ever taken it's on the app and the other times they'll be like now is it is it fastest to take this exit dude i'm taking an uber because i'm not from philadelphia right i have no idea the fastest way to get here i i need i'm paying you for this yeah you're the one that's supposed to know this. You're from here. That's funny. I just Uber pretty often, I guess. I'm always just so surprised.

You can change the directions on them. Did you know that? You can say, like when I was in Las Vegas, I thought we were going to one casino, just like a hotel, and it ended up being a different one that was like a half mile up the road. So it wasn't a huge deal. Yeah, but I was like, oh, shoot. Actually, I think we're supposed to go to Paris and, you know, Paris Casino.

And not Paris, Texas. And so he's like, no problem. You know, they'll just calculate how far I drive. And that's how much you calculate for your total. Because they always give you an estimated total. You never pay like up front. Yeah. Those things.

I had an Uber driver one time i just remembered in charleston uh virginia home of the university virginia cavaliers i think right yeah i don't know uh wahoo wah is what they say there really yeah um this is part of the limo trip as well she learned that we were from out of town oh my gosh you, you guys never been in Virginia before? I got to show you around. Mid route, just pulls over the car on campus, gets out, walks around, shows us the campus, shows us Edgar Allen Poe's old dorm room. Really?

And we're like, is the clock running on this? I really need to get back. Yeah, it was so strange, but it was a funny memory. Yeah, I wonder if it's time or if it's just distance. That's the main... Because unlike a new york city taxi like it is time as well as distance i don't know you get stuck in traffic the algorithm uh your turn for one oh sure okay um have you ever, these are, we're doing a lot of bodily functions. Um, have you ever pooped on an airplane? Okay.

One, two, three. No. Okay. I was hoping you had. No. It's hard enough to pee on an airplane. You feel that turbulence so much more in there. It's like you're in some sort of like zero gravity, like, guess the opposite of zero gravity it's like heightened gravity it's like feel like

every little movement yeah no i don't it would take a lot well let me think i mean i fly pretty often but i've never needed to fly back from australia i was getting you know you're not getting car sick i was like i think i'm getting airplane sick the turbulence was like side to side rather than more like just like little bumps or whatever but i was like what's my escape here like if i start getting sick what do i even do well that was another one of mine is the next question was have you ever thrown up in public oh you want to say that one real fast uh three two one no you haven't i don't think so not I can think of. I'm a pretty private puker. Puking sucks.

I guess it depends on what you consider public. One time I was in a public restroom and I had to throw up. A lot of synonyms for throwing up, by the way. Think about how many words there are. Vomit. Ralph. Barf. Puke.

Yak. Upchuck. Ralph. puke yak up chuck uh ralph still it's like seven words for just like one thing which is too many i think beefed no i don't think that's that that sounds right that's close to barf anyway there's a lot yeah i uh knock on wood but i haven't thrown up in a couple years which has been nice because it's really not fun it is not it's even worse whenever like a few times recently katherine has gotten sick and i know that i'm like it's coming for me yeah you can't let your mind know yes you totally that's so right you're so true that's one of my like more hippier beliefs is that your mind controls your immune system or is in somewhat control of your immune system i think it does with throwing up with like sickness yeah okay your turn um yeah we can talk about psychosomatic

um thoughts in another podcast uh um get more than eight packets of sauce at chick-fil-a okay i don't know just a random i don't know just like a random thought I had. I don't know. Okay. Three, two, one. No. Of course. First of all. Y'all should go to Chick-fil-A with Brad.

Okay. The dude, he gets his money's worth. I'll say that. Let me say my friend Isaac McDonald is the same way. We are both big into the sauce. The sauce is the boss. That's what Kansas Citians believe about barbecue. Get lost in the sauce, baby. Get lost in the boss. That's what Kansas Citians believe about barbecue. Get lost in the sauce, baby.

Get lost in the sauce. First of all, the sauce that I get at Chick-fil-A that's the rich man's Chick-fil-A sauce is called Honey Roasted Barbecue. I can attest a couple years back, Brad put me on to Honey Roasted Barbecue and I have not looked back. If you don't know about it, it's not really even on the menu for some reason. It has the available options for sauces. But it is by far the best. Tastes a lot like Chick-fil-a sauce but less calories i think that the normal chick-fil-a packets and i've had discussions about this so i'm ready for this you put me on blast for this normal chick-fil-a packets are one ounce i believe the honey roasted barbecue packets are 7 16ths of an ounce.

Okay. So basically a little bit less than half. Sure. So getting eight of those, which sounds like a lot, is really the equivalent of four Chick-fil-A sauces, which also... But that's not all you get though. Okay, Jake. That's pretty much the main thing though.

Okay. You have multiple sauces. Then I also, my friend Bryant back in the day told me buffalo and ranch together is very good. You know, you use the ranch as the paste. Oh, like a primer? Yeah, for the buffalo to really stick well to it. Very good.

I've been to Chick-fil-A with you so many times, I've never noticed that that's how you do it. You use buffalo as a paste. Uh-huh. Or you use ranch as a paste? I use ranch as the paste, yeah. So the buffalo can... Adhere to the buffalo because

the buffalo is kind of you know thin sure slimy yeah it's very good and i also i i anytime i go with you i'm always eating you know my fries and then half of yours i'm mine sure so i do i do love the sauce though i honestly like i get very excited every time I go to Chick-fil-A and I, if someone were to tell me, let's go to Chick-fil-A, but you can't have any sauce. I would probably say, I don't really want to go there that bad.

That's how much I love. And I'd like to fight you right now. Why would you not let me have that? Have you had lunch today yet? No. Should we go? Do you want to go to Chick-fil-A? Yeah,

I do. Okay, cool. I haven't been since the last time I was with you, which is Monday. We need to use our points that we have on the app. We don't have to yeah no we should let's redeem them today baby yeah stick it to the man eosus uh oh wait no your turn yes have you ever oh let's go with have you ever put both or do you normally put both your socks on before putting your shoes on okay one two three no yes whoa

and i think this is like a like some people are very weird you go sock shoe sock shoe yeah so some not always but lately i have been because you know you're born in november yeah no that's oh it's because you're a Sagittarius. I don't know if that makes sense. But I will often, you know, kind of swing up my leg and put it on my thigh. Do you make a noise when you do that too? Do you kind of draw a foul? No, I don't. Okay. I don't do it at all.

Maybe I do. You swing up a leg. Swing up a leg. So it's already up there. So why not do both when it's up there? You know, socks. Should I make this seem like this is an efficiency thing? It's absolutely a comfort thing. I don't know if it's already up there so why not do both when it's up there you know socks should make this seem like this is an efficiency thing it's absolutely saving time it's absolutely a comfort thing i don't know if it's deficiency right but definitely like a well i'm already

up here i'm gonna have to come you know because it's such a such a strenuous task on my physical body to bring my leg up twice and so i've already did it once yeah um so that's why that is strange there's a few other like i already traded a video this is before i started working with him but like the signs of a psychopath psychopath i've seen that video and that was one of the things really and honestly that might have made me you're like consider like people why don't people do this for i don't really the only other thing i remember from that video was putting the milk in first yeah also very dumb that's all i've had today to eat by the way so i'm hungry i hungry. I had a bowl of Lucky Charms and that's it.

Put the cereal in first, though. Like a normal person? Yeah, like a normal person. That's how you gauge the milk. I don't have that many more, so you go ahead. Okay, this will be a fun one. I have probably two more. Think that OJ Simpson is innocent.

Gosh. One, two, three. No. Heck no. gosh one two three no heck no there's no way you could think that oj simpson's innocent without having some kind of political lens behind it is my only thing yeah i'm just it doesn't look good for him like they basically they got off on that first trial but then they had a second trial you know that was not with a jury oh really absolutely got that's why he went to prison for so long i thought it's because he stole some stuff

like the memorabilia maybe that was also part of it yeah i think that's why he made but they had a second trial and it was like i don't know something else besides just a jury i think it was like but they used the same factual evidence and everything and he absolutely got convicted oh really i didn't even know that. Yeah. I don't know why I thought of OJ Simpson today. Like three years ago, that was really topical when all the documentaries and stuff were coming out. But OJ.

Yeah. If you have rules. God. If y'all saw that, uh, was it a 30 for 30 or it was just like ESPN. It was 30 for 30. Yeah. Maybe. I don't know if it was in the 30 for 30 it was a

big old it's like an eight part huge documentary so good really really good went in like i think the first episode didn't even talk about oj simpson yet it's all about just like the racial tension building up so good yeah yeah it did a very good job but there's this character is it like oj's childhood friend how's that voice yeah yeah yeah this guy i mean a very unique voice like think of like unique voices of our time. Patrick Mahomes, Arnold Schwarzenegger, O.J. Simpson's childhood friend. Like, he's in the upper echelon. It sounds like he's, like, a basketball that's, like, slowly deflating and you're trying to bounce his team.

This is all he has left. O.J., did you know that O.J.'s dad was gay? He had some great one-liners in there. Man, shut up. That's what in there. Man, shut up. That's what he said. Man, shut up. That's funny. Yeah, definitely not innocent, though.

Yeah. I mean, in the research that I've seen. Great Hertz ambassador. Yes, he was definitely not innocent. Anyway. Which is a bummer. We're very anti-killing your wife on this podcast so it's good to bring it up never have i once um you know endorsed do you have any more i have i got more i guess i

have two more one of them is a little bit abstract love it uh i'm just gonna do one more okay um the other one was hit a deer but i bet you've never hit a deer. My sister had a deer hit her. What? Like the deer just ran inside. Like it didn't hit the front of her car. Like the deer hit the side of her car. Really? She was like, I made eye contact with it.

She's like, I saw its face against my window. She was so freaky. I don't remember. It was like back in high school. But yeah, like a deer ran into her. That was another one that I was going to like jokingly say say is that but i'm like actually kind of scared of deer i know they're like maybe it's because of tommy boy you know like freaks out in the car it's alive but i yeah for the long forever anytime i see a deer if a deer is like within 20 feet of me i'm like you're scared worried about it. Whereas other people will go up and pet it.

They're very skittish animals. I know they are, but according to Tommy Boy, they are not. I don't think that was based on actual events. Really? I'll double check. I don't think that happened, though. Ask Chris Farley. Wait.

He's dead. Oh, wait. Ask Steve. I got scared. I legitimately got very scared of a cat a couple days ago uh moved into a new place which we can talk about a little bit i got some things i want to ask you about well we can work it into the game great um a random cat decided to have kittens on our back porch oh it's that it's in missouri. It's in Missouri. Yeah, yeah. Random cat.

Just random cat. And so this is their home now, at least, you know, for a couple of weeks until they, you know, up and leave. And it was about midnight two nights ago and I was, so I live in a carriage house. I live in like a detached garage that's been renovated into an apartment. But I still like share a living space and a kitchen with like the main house. So I was going to go into the main house. It's like a 20 foot walk to, I think I i was gonna make pizza rolls is what it was and um

totinos anyway i i go out there without my phone or anything like i don't need a flashlight i know where the door is i could see and i almost step on something i'm like oh was that one of the kittens was that a raccoon it felt big i'm like so i get a little scared at first i go back in the garage and then i get my phone flashlight i'm gonna see what this is and it was like i mean this is exactly how i would have written written the scene to be in a horror movie i like peek around the door shine my flashlight to the right to the right and then this cat's you know bright eyes are looking at me and it hisses at me super loud oh that wasn't a good hiss let me try again how can i hiss that's more of a there you go i needed more tongue involved i think um don't quote me on that uh but it was so scary so i didn't eat pizza rolls it's like i'm going

to bed you did it i didn't i couldn't get past it or like i physically did not want to try and get past it like any mother protecting their kids you don't want to mess with no matter the animal that's true yeah it hissed at me dude it was actually scary gosh that's why i don't ever want a cat don't need don't need hisses in my life yeah don't hiss at me um okay so my actual question was your favorite letter of the alphabet let me think about it this is something i've i can say i've never thought about um okay what is yours or do we say the same time i guess yeah we're gonna have the same one i bet really no i don't think i don't think we are one two three t k k k t t caitlin triplet kt buffalo chicken dip i like t because K. T. T. Caitlin Triplett. KT. Buffalo Chicken Dip.

I like T because it's in my last name a lot and very symmetrical. Big symmetry guy. Oh, yeah? What about you? K is symmetrical if you lay it down and use a certain font. K is just, I feel like, a sentimental letter to me. A lot of the things I love are K. Strikeouts.

Catherine. Oh, okay. Canicuck. Okay. Where we met and where Catherine and I met and kind of how we met. Kansas State University. K State. Wildcats with a K. The K in K State stands for Kansas.

Which you love. Which I love. Knoxville. Yeah, well, let's not talk about silent Ks. Okay. Those guys get screwed. No, that's my Ks. I don't really have that strong opinion i don't really thought about it but i teas are great yeah sweet tea i mean teas are in everything you know they're the star of the show they are i mean there's a

reason uh wheel of fortune doesn't let you have them uh in final jeopardy first word you can think of that doesn't have the letter t in it go j. Jake. Dang it, that was good. I'm freaking smart. I'm in gifted. You know this, Brad. Wow, that was so quick. I was hoping you'd have a really hard time with that. Yeah, it's not Christmas songs. Christmas song that doesn't have the letter T in it. Go. Oh, boy. Hold on. Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

The. Shoot. Christmas song. Um. No. Oh oh they all have teas that's what i'm saying teaser they all have teas he is a uh primetime player i got nothing can you think of one sure i can not top my head but um oh well that's what i was trying to do well we're not right now yeah um you got joy the world doesn't have any t's in it you got um angels we have heard on high hello i got one nice that was just me listing off names congrats uh you know i'll do one based off the new apartment um keep your thermostat at 70 degrees or colder. Yes or no? For air conditioning.

Air conditioning in the summertime or right now. 70 degrees or colder. Three, two, one. No. Oh, you're a warm guy too? I don't think, to be honest, I don't think 70 degrees is like an average temperature. I think that's very low.

Oh, I should have gone'm high what do you keep yours at i think at night we go 73 in the day maybe it's like 75 honestly this is a little bit of piece of advice for you when you get married thank you bro just just lose the lose lose the fight with the thermostat to your wife i didn't know i was about to have a fight about it that sucks it's just it's one of those things where well And maybe you won't maybe your wife's gonna be probably your wife will be this way because you're not this way Maybe I'll stay my ground. Thank you. Thank your your marriage usually complements each other and personalities. I'm the more frugal one. I'm the more like type a Worrying you're the one who makes the budget. Yes

Yeah, and so I see it as like, man, that one degree, two degrees colder is a lot more expensive. Right. Whereas Catherine's a lot more like, I'm hot. I want it to be colder. Let's just make it colder. And I've just learned that sometimes

$30 a month is not worth marital strife. You'd be surprised that the arguments you get in when you're married and i can't wait that's one that i just said you know what i'll try to lovingly give my input on this and be like hey what if we crack a window tonight or whatever but what if we crack open a cold one a cold one being a window what do you think about that yeah anyway yeah i get cold very easily so this is my first time ever living by myself ever having complete control over the thermostat so it's cooking in there i mean like what is it like 75 76 like that's great yeah at all times i love you're gonna save so much money on your

energy bill i've been cold for my entire life not anymore so that mean your heating bill might be expensive though maybe we'll we'll get around to that later sure figure it out all right that's all we got brad and i are headed to chick fil a um as always thank you for listening we really appreciate it we'll be back next monday join us uh next week for an episode uh we'll call it my my friend borrowed my phone i swear you've got that to look forward to next monday episode six my friend borrowed my phone i swear i don't know yeah it's great
