When train I had mood swings golf back of the day, oftentimes those are fun notifications to check because golf is so popular that you would get a good amount of, like, celebrities following us. Okay. Because we were making golf stuff. Pick a ball, not really the case. And even, I guess, to back check jean shorts.

More Cuban. We would occasionally get famous athletes, but they were always kickers and punters. It was always the white positions. Really? On jean shorts. I don't remember. Yeah.

I can't remember anybody. like that. Yeah. Skewed pretty wide. Shout out Spencer Brown. Sebastian Tickowski, you know. Right tackle for the bills. He was a fan.

Anyway, but with pickleball, very rarely, do you even see a verified checkmark with what we're building here. However, in the past like two weeks, there's been a few that have popped up.

You're on. One, Trevor Noah. Oh, that's A-list. Yeah. He followed us and then two days later hosted the Grammys.

I was like, should I DM him and be like, you're crushing it, dude? Dude, nice dink, you know, slam in the Grammys. A couple of jab jokes and then just hit them with the, hit him with the drive. Dude, take my phone. Oh, man. DM for me.

Net cord, uh, stuff. Ernie. You, you, you, earnest. So Trevor Nowe is pretty exciting. He's like, oh, the guy like, Sukhol wants to follow us. I'll do you one better. What do you think of when I tell you the name Brit? Nicole. I know this name. Do you? Okay. I was 50-50 on like if this is even going to be a person you know.

So, yeah. Back in the Cantercock days, I feel like I personally pressed play on Britt Nicole like several hundred times. Because she was making like Christian pop music 15, 10 years ago or whatever. I feel like maybe I've heard her name from you. Okay. Yeah. Or who is she like what does she sing? I think she's done so with NF or something. I think that's all. I think she's still making. Yeah. But I think she was like probably. just starting out back in the day. Yeah. And so, yeah, she had a song called Gold. And then there was a gold remix that, I mean, these middle school girls just went binky bonkers. Gold has 33 million plays. I was half of those probably back in the day.

And so I was just like, Brit Nicole is following me on Friday Pickable? You recognize it now? Yeah. Or at least like, yeah. I have too many of the words memorized. This is not who collaborated. with N.Fs. But the name was familiar. You imagine an F on there with that.

You're walking on the moon. I was on the dark side of the moon. I've been on the dark side of life. I haven't listened in up in a while, actually. That was spot on. Pretty dark. What's he up to? He's still making music.

I think he dropped an album like last year or something. Or no, he got it some EP. I didn't like every. much at all. Oh, he did. And I also found myself not going back for a second listen. Yeah. I was like, where's Britt, Nicole? Yeah. Where's the gold? Like part. Gold part. Yeah, you've been walking on the moon. So, you're on low, low, low. Trevor Noah was like, oh, no, cool. All right. Britt Nicole is like, oh, no, guys. Brit Nicole was seriously like, I have to take advantage of this. Dude, I have to let her know what she used to mean to me. But what do I DM to either of these people?

Like, they like me, right? They followed us. It's a, I. I. I. Crazy to think they might respond to DM? What do you say? Do I try to shoot with Trevor Noah? Like shoot a video? Is that even going to move the needle? Like, we film with Trevor Noah. Like, is he good?

Who's that? Yeah. Yeah, what's his duper? I don't know. If it's not going to be competitive, I'm really not interested. So what do I do I say anything? Do I take advantage of these two massive celebrities? Uh, I don't know if I'd use those words.

But yeah, absolutely. Hey, Treve. Hey, look at it. advantage of you real quick. So you're a fan. I'm sure you get this often. We'd love to take advantage how you follow us. What you're thinking?

I mean, in my opinion, what's the worst that can happen? Like, to me, it's like, what, he unfollows you? And then no one notices the difference. No, I know. People that are tracking every single follower you have. Wow. No. I'm not a fade to him anymore.

Yeah. But if he says, sure or if he shouts you out once in a video or something like that boosts you in some way great now what do I how do I take advantage of Brent Nicole fair yeah I would get Rachel involved with that way probably hey I'm trying to take advantage of this girl what do you think I should do Rachel I probably do older I do a music video with her a la la la you bottom limo but like do a pickleball video music video do a song how many songs out there besides the next uh pickleball page you know about pickleball. There was one

a guy played in Palm Springs in that exhibition where a woman came up to me and apologize like, sorry that they've been playing the same song six times in a row. You know, Kevin made the song on AI and he's obsessed with it. And so he just played his own AI pickleball song over and over and over. These are the people

in my industry. That's why. That's why I think that there would be success if you said hey, let's make a semi-professional decent song. Let's spend a day on it and let's do this thing. Timin, what do you got? Yeah, I think you take advantage of her voice as well. No, no, no.

What? Music video. What do we got? What's the melody? What's it going to sound like? Oh. Make it right now. I get NF for this.

I don't... Just sing the melody. Don't, don't say words. Yeah, yeah. Pickleball song. Britt a Cole. Featuring you. Sound like that.

Yeah. How hard was that? A little more. Bada da da da da. Oh, here's the bridge. It's my favorite part. It's like a... It comes back to...

It was more rhythmic than... I don't know how you'd put words to that, but it'd figure it out. No, you... Doesn't matter if you're going in or if you're hitting it out. It's all so far fun now. The bridge sounded a lot more like trying to be like some inspiring ballad

instead of like a pop song about pickleball. So it kind of lost some steam there. She also is the person that collab with NF. I found that I went back and forth and it didn't show up on her page. So I was like, well, if she's embarrassed by it. Surely it would be on hers. But no, it, yeah, she did something with NF. So he's a big name.

Can I make one last request? Sure. To that song. Yeah. I will admit. So yesterday I texted DJ Mikel because when we're recording this, it's only February 12th, but I said, dude, that halftime show did a number on me. I said, I'm seeking out bad bunny.

And Michael responded with, that boy got the fever. It's a great text back. So, Tim, can I hear what you just did, but a little more of a Latin flare? Yeah, Brad, could you give me like a, boom, he likes the A and the breathing in, right? That was really good. That was great. You guys are talented.

Good job. Now let's hear some real music. Uh, uh-oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts And white meat too. Then West best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead. Get on your feet because it's a ghost from a podcast.

Everybody's morning who are taking around. That was great. You are good at that. Thanks. Melody out of thin air. I always believed. That was fun. It was tough to not.

Like, I had five melodies went through my head, but they're all actual songs. It's tough to not. Don't stop believing. It's like, no, that was a, yeah. That'd be a fun exercise just in general to like, hey, come up with, come up with 20 seconds have a song right now. And like you just did. And then like, all right, stop and now do a different one.

Stop. And then I bet if you listen back to him, at least one of them would be like, I'd be into this. Like, if you did five of them in a row really quick, like, let's run with that. Yeah. It's kind of like that challenge of like, say a word that doesn't exist. You're like, everything I could think of is a word that already exists. I can't think of something new. Yeah.

Have you seen the, say a number that doesn't exist. Are you a fan of the. professor Puth, Charlie Puth thing? Yeah, kind of. Oh, for some reason, I don't know why. I have no reason to not be. They're really cool and they're informative. For some reason, I'm like, nah.

I actually don't know why. This is the first time I'm not like anti. No, I don't know. Maybe it's just like, oh, this is so. Actually, okay, I'm realizing why I had that attitude. The videos, great. The comments. You know what I'm talking about Jake where he like breaks down music and like.

Charlie Puth is like, He breaks it down. Yeah, on his Instagram and is it, is it intentional on the eyebrow or is that just,

I think it's a cool like the eyebrow thing. Okay. I don't know. I'm realizing what, what annoys me

is not the videos but the comments being like, Charlie Puth is the greatest, he's just no while time. He's the second coming of Christ. Just, I don't know.

He's good. He's not. Or just like, he's the one person they have heard of that has perfect pitch. So it's like, he like,

wow. He's like, he's like, the, incredible. Which I think he is an incredible musician. And even he does like jazz piano. He's really good in a lot of ways, not just pop.

So he is very good. But people, I don't know. Somehow the glaze in the comments is like annoying to me. And there was a song on Taylor Swift's last album where she said some line about I always thought Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist. It's this lyric too in every comment section. We declare Charlie Pooz should be a bigger artist. Yeah, I think that is like moving women and moving Swifties into the Charlie Poofoof's fandom.

Is that what that means? I saw somebody comment that on his national anthem. Yeah, it's a Taylor Swift. People declared it, or we declared it, and I'm like, and then people will be like, real ones know what this means. And I'm like, I don't know what it means. I'm not going on Twitter again. Yeah.

Yeah, it definitely was on Twitter. But yeah, this has inspired me to not be immediately a hater like that. The videos are great. I don't look at the comments of them, to be fair, but like, that's good. All I was going to say is like, you were like, it's hard not to sing a song that's the same is some of, I think he did a breakdown. He called it interpolation, I think, is the word. I always hear that from people when they're editing music, like,

on a computer. I think he, he defined it as like, if you have four notes in a row that are the same as another song, then that's using that song. Oh, okay. But if you have three notes and then, you know, something else, like, it's like similar. I bet even, I bet even, like, rhythm is different. Like, if the rhythms, yeah, if it's more regatone,

maybe, okay. Yeah. But yeah, so stuff like that, or he breaks down like how, you know, this era of drums were like super high reverb because of Phil Collins doing the do-dum-d-d-d-d-d-do-d-you- know, whatever. And so all the 80s have like this sounding drums and it's coming back or, you know, look at how much different it is if there's only one bass track versus this second bass track in there or something. Or let's take out the bass track, you know, whatever. Yeah, they are cool videos. It's fun. So.

But then you go, then if you like that, then you see Jacob Collier and you're like, oh, well, this guy's an actual genius. Yeah. And Charlie Puth is like, awesome. And maybe that's what it is. It's like I see both love and hate for Jacob Collier. So it's like when I see only just like, I don't know. I don't know what it is. It's just like everyone's like he is the greatest musical genius of all time.

Like and there was also, I saw comments on his, um, his, his video of this of the national anthem, which was really good. But they were like, like not a single miss note because he has perfect pitch. And then everyone's like, that's not what perfect pitch means. It doesn't mean you can't miss a note. No, there's still like live live pitch correction and like there's not, yeah, it was funny. Yeah.

Interesting. Yeah. Did you see that video? I also saw some of Jacob Collier the other day playing this instrument I've never seen like on the ground. Was it the harpegy probably? Yes. Yeah.

That thing. It was like, first of all, how does anybody know how to play that? Second of all, how does he know how to play it so well? It wasn't like a, oh, I'm just kind of messed around on this thing and can play a few notes in a row.

It was like he was playing some song that was recognizable. And it was like, that's how you play it. But it was on this weird instrument. It's kind of insane. I think not many people can play it, at least not, at least not well, but it's like he just would have messed around enough

to know what to make it sound good and just like. Yeah, I can't fathom how he can do that and mess around with that as much, but also be amazing at all these other things, like all these other instruments. Yeah. Anyway, pretty cool, Jake. Pretty cool.

Music is pretty cool. You should try it sometime. Try it on. We asked our audience for some voice memos, more just more messages this week. And first one that just came across my desk was page Cucco. All right. She said, I know it's really late, but can you please clear my name when it comes to fantasy football? And so I went and looked it up.

And I want to start with back at September, because maybe you guys remember this, the draft. When we did the fantasy football guillotine ghostrunners draft. She was at a Mary Kay party, right? Was that what it was? No, it was a battle study. It's like, I don't remember that. Page drafted CJ Stroud, kind of a down year.

She drafted Justin Fields, definitely a down year. She drafted Drake, Drake London, you know, fine. And then her next four draft picks were tight ends. Then her next five draft picks were kickers. Then she went Woody Marks, which ended up getting to playing time this year. And then for her final draft pick,

went back to a fifth tight end. So she had five tight ends and five tight ends and five. kickers and just scrubs everywhere else in her team. And in the Ghostrunners Tuesday League, Paige Kuko took the crown. She won the whole thing. She did? Yeah. I didn't realize that.

Yeah. She beat ballet slipper T.J. to win it all. Wow. In the Tuesday division. That is amazing. That's why it's so fun about the Gieting thing, because your team will change so much to survive in advance.

That's crazy, though, that she even got out of the first week, like, with that line up. Yeah. Who had, somebody bailed her out that first week. It must have just had an awful week. An even worse team. So yeah, shout to her. And I don't even know if we shouted out the other winner in the Wednesday league. Mark Demanskis.

Demanskis. I always said Demanskis. Demanskis. I know how he pronounced your last name, but. Hey, why are you skiing with Lindsey Vaughn over there? You're supposed to be with the man skis. I don't know. That was good.

Hey, Lindsay, why are you using those? those are demands skis. That's a little bit better, I think. Why are you using those? Hey, what are those? They are demands skis. Those are Damascus. Anyway, that's his last name, and he won.

So good job to both of you. That is amazing. I didn't realize that page. I knew that page, like, got farther than I did. So I was like, that's kind of crap. Didn't think she won at all. Just deem her back and say it's been cleared. Can you quickly enough see if she had anybody on her team that she drafted?

Oh, there's no way. There's no way. Maybe Woody Marks. Let's see, Page's final team. Trevor Lawrence, Brock Purdy. Brock Purdy put up 52 in Week 17. Good for her. Let's go Cyclones.

No, James Cook, Atchain, Amon Ra, Jamar Chase. I mean, not even close. Yeah. Honestly, Brandon Aubrey, so that same kicker. Okay. One of the five kickers stayed on the team. Brandon Aubrey might have carried her team. This year.

But none of the, she also had the Jaguars kicker who like also went off this year. Okay. She had all the good kickers. Oh, give her that. She knew what she was doing picking the kickers. Yeah, she hoarded all the kickers.

But yeah, none of the tight end stuck around and one kicker stuck around. Good for you, Paige. I have a little voice memo from Braden on my phone, Braden Parsons. Oh, yeah. Oh,

wow, we got a lot. Let's see, where'd you go, Brayden, I just had you on here. Listen to this. I think this is just kind of a crazy coincidence.

Yesterday. Also, yesterday we had a baby shower for someone in our office. Her name is Sarah Snow. She's having a baby. We all suggested some baby names. I threw out the name Sadie Snow, not listening to the podcast yet, and then someone wrote in with the name Sadie Snow,

and y'all said it like 10 times, and then you were even saying that's an awesome name. So thank you for the validation on the name I picked. Just crazy some crazy coincidences from yesterday's episode. that is cool. I saw that she just asked to be in our Ghost First Facebook group and I said, you bet. Yeah. Yeah. Sayy Snow. It was kind of fun to be like, not only be like, oh, say, Snow, that's a, that,

thank you for that nice thing. Also, awesome name. And Braden that same day is like, you know it would be an awesome name. Saydy Snow. I was trying to tell them it's an awesome name. Like, what are the odds? That would fire me up if I was listening to that. Wow. You know? Abigail Garton said, When is time we're going to make another bangor song? Oh, wait, that's, I think Abigail's who listened to it, like, 50 plus times or something crazy like that. Yeah.

I get, I get why she'd want more. I don't know. I, um, I don't know if I'm going to drop like a pop weird, a beat banger, but like, uh, might record a piano and voice album of covers with Dr. Smith, my voice teacher. We'll see. Yeah. Sounds like a beat banger. Are you, uh, strumming the strings yet on the guitar? No, I mean, I've learned to.

couple chords, but I might drop this class because it's a little too beginner, and I think I'm learning quicker than... Good for you. I don't know. It's like, I spent maybe... No, it's a lot of adults, but like adults have never touched a guitar, that type of thing. I, um, my friend Elliot taught me like a few chords in like 10 minutes, and I learned a lot more in that 10 minutes than like this whole 45 minute class. I'm like, maybe I'll just keep learning some chords online. And you're used to home school. You're used to a mom, you go on my pace. Yeah. I go with the pace of these other kids. Yeah. What are like the very first things you teach somebody about guitar?

Like, what did they do? In the class, he like kind of briefly went over like, I guess what we learned in the class. I've done one class. It was the numbers of the strings, the numbers of your fingers and like, you know, like one, two, three, four. And then the strings are like, I can't remember if it was one going up, one to six up or down. I never know either. Yeah. It was kind of things that's like, you can learn this.

and it is probably good for like if you're gonna learn how to like solo or something I don't know anyway it was theory yeah which is like good to know and definitely good to get the basics of but it was kind of like yeah but I spent 10 minutes of my friend and I can play a song now so it's like

I don't know but it definitely it's hard to switch chords it's so hard to be fast switching chords like that's definitely I'll just have to like get repetitions of that that's I feel like those are like that and strumming are like the two signs of like oh you know how to play guitar more than most or less than most. It's like, yeah.

D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D. Yeah. Just like, like, just robo-trot-it kind of. Yeah. I remember when I was teaching myself guitar, I remember thinking, like, this feels like learning how dribble basketball again. Like, it's got to feel good when I don't have to look. Yep. To know where my fingers go. Because, obviously, you get to a point where you can, like, look up and do it. Right. I never really graduated from, like, like, like looking for even from G to C. Like I still gotta keep my eye on this. Yeah.

That's what I'm amazed that like I'm not good enough at piano to like some. That's amazing to me. Yeah. There are 88 keys. Yeah, there's a lot. Figure out where you're going for here. Like on the on the guitar they have dots every once while on the top of the. That's true.

So you can kind of like see a little bit of where you are. But man, it's just it's so fun to learn a song that has like three chords and you know those three chords and you can just what song? What song? Get it and play. CD. First song I learned was. ceilings by Lizzie McAlpine. It's got a C major ad nine,

which sounds so good. So anyone out there? Look at you. The C major ad nines. I don't know. It's a fun sounding chord. I use that for C. Oh, cool.

Yeah, it sounds great. And you can switch to G. It's like, just shift. That's why you do it, baby. Oh, yeah. Never play the regular C. Oh, I knew a couple of air compressors. The regular C also just weird.

I don't know. Yeah. But yeah, it was fun. Oh, man. I'll play guitar with you sometime. You ever want to? Sweet. Hey, Monday night at the Rhino, open mic night for songs, Song Lab.

There you go, timing, you're figuring it out. Hey, everybody, this is my second time playing guitar. I figured I do it in front of all 20. That would be funny to be like, be like, this guy's not very good at guitar. And then all of a sudden you just start singing and they're like, who cares? Do that more. Yeah. Now do it.

Latin version. I'm taking requests for any genre. genre to switch that to. Here comes the bridge. Make it about pickleball. Someone said, who is the biggest conspiracy theorist and why is it Brad? Oh, man, it's not me.

All right. Is it me? Do you think? Of us three? I don't know if any of us are really much. I might be a little bit more aware of certain what's the word? Channels of conspiracy theories. I know more probably about political stuff than you guys do, but I don't.

delve into it one bit. You haven't donated. No. You're not like a lobbyist for... Well, not like, you mean donated or like recurring donation? No, you only do a one-time donations, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like a one-time tax deductible... Like large, but not... I'm in debt right now. Large, I mean, we got to figure out the second shooter. Someone's got to do it. Someone's got to do it. No, I don't... I don't think...

I don't... I think as far as being interested in them, I feel like you are more, like, interested in, like, if you learn about something, you might, like, want to learn more about something and more than, like, I think you like learning about stuff like that more than I do. I'm more like, okay, that's a theory. We're never going to be able to prove some. So I was talking to some of my friends about the Super Bowl halftime.

And I just, none of them were saying anything negative or necessarily positive, I guess. One of them, one of my friends is married to a Mexican girl. And so, of course, he likes, you know, Latin American music or whatever. And I said, I said something about like, I don't understand why people are so fired up about this. Like, even if you don't like this halftime show, and I was like, I don't, or maybe I said, even if you don't like the idea that you can't understand any of the lyrics because they're in a different language, and I was like, which I don't necessarily like that. It's like, I would never comment about this on Facebook.

I would never make a stink about it. Like, you know what I realized that same thing is when I was sitting there watching it, I was like, who did this last year? And I was like, I don't know. It was Kim Drake. And it, well, who did it two years ago? Uh, was it got, no, I don't know. See?

Dr. Dre or Snoodg or maybe. No, it was Usher. Oh, yeah. We don't even remember Usher from two years ago. This is so insignificant to everything. That's what I'm saying. Like, I've never, I've never like, I don't know, whatever. Like, it's like, it's just like, it just seems so childish to me to be like, I don't

like this, so I'm going to complain. Like, it's like just don't like it and just get. over it and go eat some food or something. Like, anyway. Which is funny because a lot of people were probably like, I'm not watching this. I'm going to go grab some nachos. Let me go partake in some Hispanic culture. Yeah, those Chimicangas over there pretty good.

Yeah. Yeah. I'll eat in your restaurants. Did you make this squalcone yourself? Oh, I got it from me ranchito. Oh, those people know how to make a nice dick. You know? We got to go back to Cancun together.

Best vacation ever. Oh, man. Get this bad rabbit off my screen. I want to forget all about this. Tequila shot. Come on. No, but anyway, one of my friends, I won't say who, Adam Kosh, said, because I was like, I was like, I still understand people getting up in arms about this.

And half joking, half serious, he's like, I think half the people that are outraged are bots trying to divide us or something like that. Here we go with the election rigging. Sends like the Alex Jones, you know, like tinfoil hat, Giff, whatever. kind of jokingly saying it. And I was like, I have nothing to say about that. That is how I feel about stuff like that. And he goes, oh, bricked up Brad doesn't know.

And I was like, no, no, no, it's not that. It's just me. We will never know. That's what I said. I was like, I'm not going to spend all my time on something I cannot definitively know. How would I know? Did the Russians manipulate the 2016 election? I don't know.

Maybe. I make pickleball YouTube videos. I don't know about the Russian election hijinks. It seems so, so ridiculous to be like, let's dive into this. and figure out one side of this that's really, really adamant about that side and then just go with that one. Like, I don't care that much to learn that stuff.

I'm so, with so many things, I'm so contented my ignorance about some things. I'm like, maybe there's more to find out about this, but I'm like, yeah, it doesn't matter that much. I had a buddy that was like, hey, and this is fair. He's like, bad bunny's lyrics, if you translate them to English, they're like some nasty things he's saying.

He's like, it's immoral. And I'm like, fair, but when has the Super Bowl halftime show ever been more? Yeah. I don't think... I mean, the weekend is screaming, like, I can't feel my face. What do you think that's from? Got frostbites.

He lives in Wisconsin. Yeah, you forgot his scarf at home. It's February in Wisconsin. You can't make a song about forgetting your scarf at home. Come on! Yeah, I don't know. I'm like, I understand his point. Like, yeah, it would be great if Forrest Frank did the halftime show.

Come on. He's not gonna. Yeah. Because he's not part of the elect. No, no, whatever. He didn't do the blood sacrifice. Yeah, right. It's not part of the Illuminati, so he didn't, whatever.

Yeah. Obviously, in there watching it being like, I'm never going to go to a bad bunny concert. This is all I'm ever going to do. I might as well enjoy the next 15 minutes, because this is the closest all will probably ever be to a bad bunny. Let's just enjoy it for what it is. And then, funny enough, I'm by myself, I'm seeking out in the way they y'all. I don't know what he's talking about. Oh, it's a good thing.

But I like the way it feels. Really? See, I don't know. I haven't watched it yet. I don't even know which songs I like. I'm like clicking. Nah, it's not this one. I like the one that sounds.

Yeah. What's the? Hey, do you know that one, Scott? Yeah, I think I know which way you're talking about. Oh yeah, that one with Tio Cruz. Were you ever in the car in Palm Springs with us? We play Titi Mae Pregunto a lot. Or Preguinto or whatever.

That one's great. That makes sense because Scott says there to me yesterday. He's like, dude, I can't wait to ride around Phoenix with you next week. And I was like, oh, I guess it's the president of set. We're going to be listening to Bad Bunny a lot. That one's just like the way, I don't know if this isn't a lot of, I've heard like a few, but like we're hell inhale like and it's like kind of addicting how it sounds. It's like, do you do it about yourself at one as well? I don't think so. Okay. I should now though. We became obsessed with that. What is that song? Radioactive by the Imagine Dragons. Yeah, he does that right before. Yeah. And we would during the limo trope, we would edit just that sound like into like just vlogs that made no sense. right before we jumped out of the airplane.

Anyway, that's conspiracy theories. The Good Book podcast, free shout-out. It says all three of you are on a deserted island, Tom Hanks' castaway style. Do you make your way home or does it go full Lord of the Flies? Do we make our way home? Like, do we try to get off? Do we decide to escape? Like eventually, do we build a raft and try to like, you know, test our luck, which I don't believe in?

test our God, which I also don't believe in. I would... I'd probably... I made the testing part, not the God part. I hope that's clear. It wasn't, Jake. I realized two seconds later. I was like, yeah, it sounds like I said. Whom we don't believe in.

No, yeah. It was about testing. Go ahead, yeah. Standardized testing God. Sorry, sorry. Yeah, God doesn't take the ACT. That's strong. God don't need no Scranton.

I don't know. Scribes. How about this? I would say the first seven days, maybe longer, maybe first 10, I'm just hoping, hoping for a plane flyover. I think we start digging in the sand, the words 911. Oh. See, I said words to throw you off. I meant numbers.

You would do nine, N-I-N-E-1-1. So it would hopefully call. you'd hope. Yeah, it's way more letters. But there's three of us. Yeah, I think you've got to get a sign up and then you get to try to get fire up. Yeah, I think like, man, it'd be

way easier to be like, surely someone will find us. Let's just try to like, I would be so hesitant to try to actually survive and like figure out how to start a fire and all that because I'm like, I can't do that stuff. I'd be like, I don't know how to find food.

We could do it. Especially if like survival on the line. I think a lot of primal instincts come out. We're like, we have to figure this out. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Maybe there's like wild boars on the island. I don't think we want that. Well, but it's meat, though. That's Lord of the Flies for you, though. I don't think that would be good for us.

But it is meat. I could get, I could take down a wild boar, Jake. Oh, okay. Just one. Just one. You'll be a wild boar guy then. You can sharpen a stick. Yeah, I'll be a boar guy. I will be 911 in the sand guy until, of course, high tide comes and washes it all of. You're going to get sunburned hard, though, if you do that. It's time to adapt. A little shelter of leaves.

You just hang out under the leaves, but... Why don't you go try to find us a volleyball to play with? You know, they always say if you get separated from your mom and, like, as supermarket, you're supposed to stay where you're put. Maybe that's a deserted island thing, too. Like, don't go try rafting off. Stay put. Yeah, I think raft is pretty silly.

Because I think, how are you going to build a stable enough raft? And what are the chances you make it somewhere else that's, like, safer than the island? And once again, I'm just going to go ahead and revisit. Jake would get really sunburn out there. By the sunburn, guys. And I'm not, I'm not dark by any means either. It would hurt the skin, I think. Getting sunburned.

Incredits to Tom Hanks. He waited like four years before he took his raft out. I think he was like, all, clearly no one's coming for me. Yeah, we'd all like. Still haven't seen it. We would all have, like, substantial scraggle to us before we would try to leave. Scraggle? Good word?

Well, what do you mean? I'm picturing, I don't know if that's an actual word, made up a new word, maybe. You'd grown a little beard? Yeah, we're like, we, we all have long hair. You got some tattered clothes? Yeah. I didn't know. This is a new word for me. I don't think it's real. Oh, really? You don't think we give each other haircuts?

I mean, you just came up with scribble out of nowhere. No, scraggle. Oh, scraggle. We'd all be pretty scraggled. I thought you have, we have a little scribal to us. Have some scraggle. I was like, that's interesting. I don't know if scragles is a word either, though. Scragle. I'm the bore guy. I thought it was like spelled scribble, but out scribble.

Okay, scragel. It's not a, it doesn't have a dictionary. No, messy, informal, tangled or messy mass. Messy mass. Like hair or wild bushes. You got a lot of messy mass up there, bro. I know. It's plasma. Dude, I'd be all right with some scraggle.

I think that'd be fun to get a little scraggly with you boys. I think that's an excuse. It's a messy mass. I would want you guys to cut my hair, though. Of course. I think that would be a morale booster. That would be like a boning. We have a competition.

Whoever gets the bore first gets to cut the other boy's hair. Whoever finds the sharpest rock gets to use it to cut the hair. Yeah. Yeah. I think that'd be good. Yeah. Guys, can we cut the hair in the shade? I'm going to get sunburnt.

I can't be out cutting hair near the beach. I don't know. I don't know how we would do, guys. I think time is from the country. You're from... We would be... We would be... Yes.

What about the bored? The bore would be... Yeah. I don't think... How hard is a boar? I think a bore... Bring on a boar. Very hard to kill.

And you might almost die. But then eventually it tastes so good. If we got a fire started, how would we start a fire? Get the notches. You can't just eat boar. straight. I guess you could.

I feel like you'd maybe get... Would you get some sick? Probably. Pretty sick. We'll develop a little immune. Yeah. How hard would it be to kill a wild boar if I was on a deserted island?

Short answer, very hard, deadly. Okay. There's three of us. Only one of boar. Yeah. Three us, one boar. You tell me...

I think we trap it. Why can't we trap that thing and let it just bleed out? I just... There's how refined... How are we, like, it's so... How are we finding a trap? Yeah, how are we built?

We're fastening one up ourselves, Timing. Yeah, I know, but how? How? It seems so impossible. Can we not fasten the trap into sun? I'm gonna get sunburned. Jake's the trap guy. I am not optimistic.

Jake, Jake can do a trap. I could figure it out if I need to, as long as it's gonna shade. Jake could have the idea of a trap. I could help make the trap. Yeah, I could sit in the shade during this one. Because I don't want to get somewhere any more than Jake does. Yeah, we'll test it. It works.

Try your teeth out, like the boars. like they're tusks and we'll see and you can chew out of it. You'd be the climber. You seem like a tree climber. I think I could. Kind of like the mowgli of the group. We got to get the trap up high because boars, you know, during certain times. And while I'm up there, yeah.

Like when he comes here and it's just like it's 30 foot of drop. Drop in time. It moved by now. Dang. You heard me. The trap is just me landing on the boar. Like hoping I can just grab hard enough. But by the time I hit the ground, the boar is not there.

So it just really hurts. How heavy is a boar? 150 to 300 pounds. Okay. we could eat good for a while, boys. All it takes is why it's worth the text. We'd be fine. There's got to be a sharp stick out there that we just.

Yes. Fashion. Hey. Yeah. Get some kindling. The fire is what I'm most worried about. Chad GBT classic. Honestly, if you're alone, I'd recommend fishing, shellfish, small game, or foraging.

We would have done that already. Yeah, dude. And then while we're foraging, while we're foraging, we find the boar. Yeah. Dude, I just came back. I was forging. I just got this dead boar. Dude, I got a few berries in my pocket,

but you're not going to believe what else I got. Dude, that would be a memory, though. I mean, imagine you walking out of the woods of the boar in your arms. Oh, that'd be fun. Honestly, I would just be worried we kill all the boar and we make him extinct. We got to make sure we leave some. Leave a male and a female. Uh-huh.

It's the right thing to do. Yeah. Chad says, oh, yes, you can eat a wild boar cooked over an open fire. In fact, that's what humans have cooked. for thousands of years. Cool. We did that once in college in my fraternity.

We had a pig roast. That's cool. It was kind of fun. I already told him I was on a dessert island, but they said you need the internal temper on 160 degrees Fahrenheit. So one of us got to check that. Dibs.

Dibs. Intenton tip guy. They say where you had to probe them? It says no pink in the center. Whoa. I don't know what that's about. Oh, man. Yeah. I don't know, guys. I think we could do it.

Just imagine, though, how that would taste. Eating a wild, like, we all work together to trap this thing and kill it. And now, like, imagine, it would be so, it'd be so fun. This is like Michael Scott talking about, like, eating a tasty rabbit when he's been in the woods for four hours. Oh, I could go for a big juicy rabbit right now. I didn't have lunch. Hey, real quick, guys. Hey, phones down.

Hey, phones down. Eyes up. Pencils down. water bottles chugged Rottles chugged Real quick, I brought you guys here I brought you guys here we need to talk seriously about the consumption of our beans

I've been seeing us have Pinto I've been seeing us have green lima fart fart But the thing that I'm most worried about is that we're going to run out of coffee beans Okay. Inventory check.

Inventory check. I want to make sure that we don't ever, ever lose sight of how many beans we have in our life. Okay. To quote my old high school football coach, I don't want them to gain another yard. He, of course, mentioning mainstier roasters at home in your cupboard, ready to go in your coffee machine. I can't make it clear. It's kind of my thing. That's fine. No, no, no.

I'll try to work it in. Sorry, sorry, I give you 20 seconds to think of something. Beans. We need them in our life. And there's only one way to get more of them. There's only one right way, at least. Okay. We all know there's unethical ways to get beans.

All right, we've all got a bean handler on standby. We've got a guy in an alley. We've got a guy on Craigslist. We've all been, well, bean down that road. But the best way to, to get them is on Main Streetroasters.com. Right? Can we all agree on that? People say it's a slippery slope. I say no. It's not. It's pretty, pretty, pretty good traction when you got beans underneath. If your knees are be beaned, you're not going to be slipping around. That's right. You're not going to faint.

Beant your knees. Get a nice wide beast. It's not a slippery slope. It's not a slippery slope. point being, I don't want them to gain another yard. Point being, get some Mainshire Roasters in your house. So you don't run out. And you can subscribe, Jake. Did you know that? Like and subscribe. Smash that subscribe button to Mainsher Roasters.

Smash it, boys. Mastrovers.com, GRKC, boys. Get your coffee in your veins, dog. How'd that feel? Almost as refreshing as throwing coffee in my face. Almost. Mastrowe's dot com. Presented.

in Jerkies. All right. We finally got a voice message. I'm not going to tell you who it's from. See if you can pick up on it. Hey guys. It's Maddie. And I have never followed the Olympics very closely before. But I have been seeing so many videos of curling the past few days. And I am just so confused. Like, can you please give me an explanation as to what is going on with that? Why are we mopping the floor? Who does this? I have never heard of anybody practicing this. do they practice? Please explain this to me. And also one more thing,

El Taco Eliaro. Maddie, you're the best. So curling is when you take weights down low and then you bring them up and you work on your bice. They say curls for the girls. In reality, tricep makes up much more of your arm muscle.

Wow. Think about that. So that's how it works. I know a little bit about curling. Every curling rock comes from the same like granite island that was formed. I forget we're out in the world, but yeah, you know, off the coast of Iceland or Greenland or something, every curling rock ever made.

It, like, it comes from this one island. So which came first, the curling or the rock? Because if you just need it, if you just need it for that, like, if you, it has to be this one rock, maybe they found this rock and we're like, this works great for this thing we can invent. I'm going to say the rock came for, the island came first, I think. Yeah. Wait, that's true. That's crazy.

How expensive those rocks must those things be? What did they say? Like maybe a couple hundred bucks per... That's it? Yeah, per curling rock. So a decent size island, maybe. They're not worried about supply and demand, I guess. Even then, just to ship it around.

Ship it around, heavy rock. How heavy are they? I don't, I don't know if I've ever truly watched more than one minute of curly. Yeah, same. I can't relate to, like, a lot of videos in my feed. It's not been very curling full. No. I watched US versus Estonia, and we came back, pulled out the upset.

I learned, I can't remember what I've said on what podcast this week, but in Blue Springs, Kansas City curling club? You told us. Okay. It was us. Okay. That was us.

Okay. I don't think Rachel and I are going to go, but we thought about it. So I guess there are like recreational clubs, maybe in your cities where people curl from time to time. Similar to the male cheerleader, you know, epidemic. Venn diagram of people out there.

How does one get so into curling that they say, I'm going to be an Olympic athlete in curling? Like, so close to making it as this, but you still have this build and this frame and this athleticism, why don't we turn you into a bobsledder? Oh, really? I'm purely guessing.

You don't grow up bobsledding, right? I don't know. Or is it like, hey, there are only 16 people that bobsled in America. You're one of the four best. You're in. Yeah. And we're really good at it still because we're American, baby. Yeah.

But yeah. CrossFit. But it's got to be, I just think about like, just logistically or like financially, like, there's not. not that much money in these in skiing. I don't know. There can't be nearly as much money in skiing as there is in whatever, anything. Like basketball, baseball, tennis even.

Yeah. But it's like, but it takes a lot of resources to ski. You have to have obviously a mountain and a huge track and all these different things to practice on. I'm like, how do you do that? How do you afford to do that as a kid like to get better? I don't know. It's just it kind of just like, yeah, boggles my mind. Yeah, I think if you're like.

Scraggles my mind. Yeah, actually, I don't know. We can move on. Curling, though, is like shuffleboard, right? Yeah, a little bit, yeah. You have targets. You get a little help, though, and yeah, they do. They put a slight spin on the ball, the rock, and that's like the curl.

Like, they're not throwing a straight shot. There is a little bit of, like, you know, right to left or left to right bend. You know, because shuffleboard, if you put up a good defense, you can't really get around it, really. But curling, you, you can't, you curve the bowl a little bit. Come around the back. Yeah. Do they have? one person who's always

like do they have specific positions they can stay there or do they rotate every curl this I'm not as familiar because they do mixed doubles they do mince doubles when I first turned it on they're like oh the US is going for a power play and so when you start off with the power play you don't really know how it's normally supposed to be played or you know it's like

ah they're already doing the variation I don't know what okay what is this I still know if it was like this is our person who always throws it and they always do it great and this is a person who uses the broom ever this is the broomer yeah we got a super super Super sweeper and a curler.

Super sweeper would be cool. That's how you get the kids into it. Okay, we're super sweeping. All right. Hey, another voicemo. See if you can guess who it's from. I should have cake of ice cream. My name's Ellie, and I have a birthday coming up.

I'm going to be four, and I've got a new haircut. But what's your question? I'd rather eat ice cream. Oh, okay. What's your question? I don't know. Okay, hold on. There's one more.

Should I have cake or ice cream at my birthday party? All right, cake or ice cream. She just got a haircut. She really wants ice cream. I love that. Ellie, how short is your hair now? I got to know. Is it as short as your shoulders?

Or is it to your ear? or did they cut it all off? Do you have to grow all your hair back? That's a long time that your hair was growing out. That's awesome. That is good that you got it cut before you eat cake or ice cream, though. Ellie, It could get in it.

This is Brad, Ellie. I would choose ice cream. Ice cream is my favorite thing to eat on the entire planet. And I would ask your mom. No, I would ask your dad first. I would say, dad, can I please have six scoops of ice cream? and he'll say, probably not six, but maybe he'll give you five. And then your mom will look at him and say,

I don't care if it's her fourth birthday. We should not be giving her five scoops of ice cream. And you know what, Ellie, your mom is smarter than your dad. So I would probably have two scoops of ice cream, mint chocolate chip, and I would enjoy them. And happy birthday. Ellie, I'm going to throw out a new option for you. and this is a word called both.

And I hope you know it. If you don't, it's now time to learn it. You're turned it forward. You just got a haircut. It's time to celebrate. Hey, Hey, dad, I made my decision. I want the ice cream.

Hey, mom, I want the cake. Oh, happy birthday to me. That's right. You guys got both. That's right. Ellie, I'm going to introduce you to one more thing. It's called Dairy Queen. Dairy Queen has this thing.

It's a place where you can get ice cream there, but they even have these things called ice cream cake. And so they look like a cake, but they taste like an ice cream. It's kind of expensive. Sorry, mom and dad, but it's awesome. Did you recognize? Do you know who mom and dad is? Ellie, no.

Emily and Isaac Brace. Oh, that's awesome. That's sweet. Ask for, so you can get some Siegel with your ice cream. Ask your dad. In that case, Ellie, I would go for a nice assayee bowl instead. Yeah. Yeah.

It's right here from Australia. Yeah, Ellie, happy birthday. Share some with Charlie and your daddy. I'm friends with... Mom doesn't eat. I'm friends with Emily Blunt. Hey, Emily Blunt. Emily Blunt on Be Real.

And every time I'm like in an airport or traveling somewhere, she just comments, Mr. Worldwide. There he goes again. It's a great bit. Then I moved back home to my parents' house and she'd come to Mr. Worldwide. That's great. They're so fun. They're so great.

Shout out. Got to be here soon. Yeah? I think this would be nice weather. Mark your calendars. Hey, ghosties. Whoa, do I need to announce this? This episode, maybe?

I should put it on the Facebook group. But I think we want to do an event, like, just if you're local, don't come in for this, don't travel. But I think I tease is where when Emily and Isaac come to Kansas to get to officially like, buy the truck, take the truck from me. Rachel had the idea to do a bond, Bondi voyage, saying goodbye to the truck. We, you know, open for two days of business. The day we opened and the day we closed. That's it.

The two best days of a Bondi bull's owner's life. Yeah, you know what Bondi stands for, don't you? Bust out. Bust out the... Bust out the narcotics. It's looking like pretty nice weather. So maybe we'll try to do something just in our driveway or you can come get a bowl.

Details to follow. Fun. Bond voyage. All right, here we go. Another one. What's up, Jake? Brad, timing. Samuelson, the official of Springfield, Missouri correspondent. I don't need to say my Friday. well code because you already know what it is.

Samia 1-44-4-3-4. Anyways, the modern pentathlon per the LA 2028 site includes fencing, obstacle, swimming, and a laser run, which is a combination of laser, pistol shooting, and running. If you were to make a ghostrunner's modern pentathlon, what five events would be included? And can we actually make this a yearly by yearly, just some kind of event? that would be cool um that's that's all bye bye bye forget our own there was a lot of information to take in this is what a pentathlon

will look like in 2028 yeah is that the same person doing all those things i guess probably a laser run no laser is that what he said or laser shooting pistol lasers was it was it laser i thought he said like laser guns or was it laser and then pistol shooting but what would laser mean if not? I thought the fifth event was the laser run, which involves like... Initially, I thought it was like, you know how you try to, you know, get around lasers at the, you know, to get to the bank vault? I thought it was something like that where you can't touch it.

And then once you get there, you shoot something. But then it may sound like it was like a laser that was coming out of your gun. The modern pentathlon, 28, LA Olympics will feature the laser run as a final deciding event, combining precision laser pistol shooting with cross-country running. Wow. 3,200 meters. They have to run two miles at some point. Also do some laser pistol shooting.

Laser pistols. They also do fencing, swimming, and obstacle discipline. Oh, wow, that's what's replacing equestrian. Wow. Really? Whoa, dude. Is that leading the Olympics? Yeah.

Forever? Dude, they come back. Got to make room for pickleball. That'll be interesting. I mean, that feels like way more like made for TV. I think this obstacle one is basically like a ninja. warrior course shooting lasers. It doesn't feel very Olympics though. Anyway, that's what they said about pommel horse back in the day too. That's what they said. Now it's a mainstay. They said,

boys shouldn't do that. No. They're not allowed. So you never got boar hunting in there. I'd say boar hunting, jingle, sing. Like you have to cover a song. Yeah, jingle singing. Uh, and then you have to do a foot race against either Catherine or Rachel. Both pretty fast. And then you have to, you have to like sell something on Facebook marketplace that feels ghost runners adjacent. Yeah. Make a little money.

Successfully. Yeah, you can't just list it. And yeah, get the change right. We'll give you options, but you have to get it for the sale price that we put on the option. And then you have to just go to Missouri and come back alive.

Go to a Missouri gas station, a non-name brand Missouri gas station. and tell us what you see. Yeah, not a quick trip. Yeah, it doesn't count. This is kind of fun. Not exactly from that. I don't know what made me think of it.

But right now, all the kids, all of my kids are obsessed with planning their birthday parties and like what they want for their birthday and all these stuff different things. Because March is coming up and we have three of our four kids have birthdays in March. So Hattie, God lover. Haddy, if you're listening to this, just know you're the best.

But she had the idea with Catherine yesterday. She's like, I really want my party. It's like not a terrible idea, but it's a terrible idea. It's the most homeschool idea. She's like, I want my party to be a book writing party with my friends where we go around and we write different parts of the book together. And then we like bind up this book and the party could be at the library. And Catherine's like, well, you've got to be kind of quiet library.

She's like, well, we can get one of those, we can reserve one of those rooms that the library has. Catherine's like, oh, maybe I don't know. And so I had the idea, or had he's really into Nancy Drew, which is like the mystery, you know. And I was like, what if we did like a Nancy Drew theme party? But we made it like, remember the great pumpkin chase that we've done in the past where it was like, you go all around the city and there's different clues and these different things. It's like a mystery. And like, if the girls can figure out the mystery, then they get to the final stage. And so I had that thought. And I was like, I think that's way more fun than sitting in a- sitting in the library.

Sitting somewhat quietly at a library and writing a book together. Because I mean, Haddy is just like so sweet. And so, like, she can sit still. She's a classic. And that's perfect for her. Yeah. She would love to just, like, go around and listen to all the different suggestions. And we're just like, what if your friends aren't into this? And then you're sad that they don't want to do it.

Like, you can or whatever. So, I don't know. We'll see what ends up happening. But maybe she'll just have to go to Missouri to a random gas station as well. I was thinking. Here's two voice modes from Gillian with a G. Hey, Jake, Brett, and time. Oh.

John Crow's Dillard. Zobble here. My wife, Julian, wrote in on Wednesday's episode asking what she should get me for my 30th birthday. And you guys settled on a truck, which is hysterical because my first car was a 1994 Dodge Dakota. I hated the thing at the time. But now all I have is fond memories. Really miss having one. Have been looking on Marketplace for one for at least a year. Wow. That's crazy. on and off trying to convince Jillian to let me buy one. So the fact that you guys said that she should get me a $3,000 old truck that'll break down is that's exactly what I want.

He sent in another one too. That's funny. Hey, this is Jillian just adding on. What I did get him was a brick, which he has not set up yet. So hopefully he does that soon. But when I was listening to the episode yesterday and heard you guys conclude that I should get him an old truck, I think I yelled in my car, no. Because, as he said, he's been asking for this for a while.

So thanks for nothing, guys. That is really funny. Come on. The one's... No. He would love that. Those, I looked up that Dodge Dakota. Those are classic, like, early 90s truck, like, just, like, a strong-looking truck.

Oh, that's funny. No. I saw somebody comment something about, hey, I'm 18. Somebody said on our Facebook group. Hey, I'm 18 and I'm getting a Valentine's gift for my girlfriend. I know Brad thinks it's stupid or something like that. I hope. I don't know what I said.

I hope that I don't think I, I don't know. First of all, I think I'm a pretty romantic guy. So I don't, I definitely don't think it's stupid. But I will say over time, the older you get, the less significant, the specific, like, forced romantic things or first romantic days get on you. Is that fair? Yeah. It is funny when you just see like a comment from someone, you know, you like, you don't know their tone exactly. You're like, hope we're cool. Ah, it's not. No, don't be embarrassed. Yeah. You only hear me like a couple hours a week. Like I, I, yeah, I remember when I was dating Catherine, like, I did like a whole like chocolate fondue

thing out on a campfire, you know, whatever for her in college and like surprise or whatever. I'm like, I get it. I'm, I'm a romantic guy. All right. Don't. Don't think I don't think that it's fun for Valentine's Day. Do it every one. Just don't go crazy. Don't waste money. So we already talked about this or this show last episode, extraction. But I am curious, like what our answers would be. Taylor Blount said, what two people would each of you bring if you were competing on extraction?

Like, who's your team and who's going in the woods? Who's going in the woods? I think I've talked about this more. My dad wants to go in the woods. It seems like it's unofficially like family only, right? or like ish. It seems to be, yeah, close related family members. Maybe a Cuzz.

Yeah, I'm trying to think. I don't think there's any like, oh, we're just friends, like close friends. So I guess it has to be family. I trust Catherine. Like, she is so good at strategy stuff. I wouldn't trust her in the woods. We need to figure out who's going in the woods from us. Catherine's got some resourceful brothers.

So I think. Okay, one of her brothers is going to the woods. Either Brooks or Sam, no offense, Walker. No offense, cupcake, but you're staying inside. honestly her dad's strong my dad my dad my dad would be on both extremes my dad would be the he'd be the Michael Scott as far as like not knowing anything about the actual wilderness but my dad is one like the most like tough just like he'll he'll grind it out do whatever he's got to do physically like I really enjoyed hearing you guys talk about how little you wanted your dad's

on family cute with you that was so funny one of the tape recorders not being distracted while driving like My dad, if he was on extract and he was out in the wilderness, my dad's strategy would be, I'm going to become friends with the people next to us, so much so that they will cook my bird for me. Hey, neighbor. Like, hey, will you please start this fire for me? And then he's going to realize, Jayhawk tickets when we were all done with this. He's going to realize, yeah, that's not allowed.

And then he's just going to be like, all right, I guess I'm not eating for 40 days. I'm just going to pray a lot. The joy of the Lord is my strength. That's what he's going to do it. He's not going to make for great TV, but I'm going to get through this. He's going to be just fine. So, but yeah, I think Catherine, I would love to be out of game show with Catherine because she is, she's so much more critically. Like she's like you, Jake, where it's like she can think critically and she will think critically.

Whereas I'm just like, let's just go and figure it out. She's like, ah, we should probably think about this for a second. You and Catherine back in HQ and one of her two brothers is in the woods. And they're probably going to switch it up on us at the last minute and they're going to throw me out there. And I'm going to say, well, hope they got a pizza oven. Yeah, I could roast a nice, nice pizza on there. But Tymond, who would you choose? I'd for sure send my dad into the woods.

Okay. Because he would do just fine. Okay. But I don't exactly know what the team would be. By default, am I one of the two people remaining? Yes. Okay. So me, I would have stay back.

And Jane. Who? Janis. And then I'm in Janus. Janus. Janus or Midge? Yeah. How about that one ghosty?

Been cutting Midge's hair for years. That was amazing. I'd bring her for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, you just thought there were two midges this whole time? I bet there was two in Kansas City. Well, you know her name's not Midge. It's not Midge.

But still. But yeah, close enough. Okay. Yeah. Because, yeah, not my mom, though. No offense, Mom, if you're listening. But she'd just be freaking out the whole time, I think, and just worried. Yeah.

As a mom, as a wife would and should. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. I mean, close, I mean, there's not like, I think Anna, me and Anna could coach my dad. Yeah. That'd be fun. Yeah. It'd be great.

So far on extracted the three episodes I've watched. I don't think they've done like a competition at HQ. I was, when I heard the premise of the, I thought they were going to like earn prizes for people based off of how well they did. Well, no, that's not true. They did the last episode. They like had to put something together fast and never mind. I thought that was more of what it was going to be like. Beast games plus like Survivor Man or something like that.

Where it was like, the better you do, the more that they get kind of thing. Which it's kind of that way, but not as much as, it also takes itself pretty seriously with this narrator's voice. Attention, attention. Everyone report. It's like, all right. Disembodied voices speaking. That would actually be fun and wild. Me and Anna and my dad in the woods.

Yeah. Yeah, it's fun to think about. Yeah. Especially when you don't have to be in the woods. For sure. I think we could do pretty well if there's some like competitions or some things you have to like accomplish to karaoke. Yeah. I'm sure that's in the show.

In the coming episodes. Yeah. Don't forget the lyrics. I think that's one of the challenges. Yep. You like Steve in the wilderness? I think sitting my dad in the wilderness would be effective and entertaining. I think sitting Steve Coop in the wilderness would be great and entertaining in a different way probably.

Steve Coop would probably be like this was more fun than being. be in a home. I'd like to stay a little bit longer. Yeah. I've gotten to know a couple squirrels. I won. Now I'm okay. I'll just stay here. I miss that bear. Yeah. I got pelt. I do think the best of our family to be in the woods would be Tommy Coop. Yes. He probably wouldn't be as entertaining as my dad or Steve Coop. He would be allowed. He would be the best. Yeah. He would have to like really tone down how well he could do. It's like, uh, hey, you actually, you were not really supposed to be growing your own crops while you're here. Don't start a farm while you're here.

It's like great soil. What? Black dirt. What was supposed to do? And in some combination, I mean, me and my mom or me and Rachel or even me and my sister. Like all those sound fun for different ways. Yeah. Me and Hattie.

I think we would have fun back in HQ. Honestly, Hattie has some wisdom every once in a while, dude, where it's just like, you're right. But yeah, that's a fun question. It's fun to think about. I'm going to watch season two. Yeah, please do it. Because then we can talk. It's just crazy.

crazy to be like, I know this guy. He's having a watch party, chicken and pickle this week, if you want to go on Monday night, I can't because I'm upward. Yeah. I know, I know, guys. I hate those kids. I'm bouncing around.

I don't exactly understand this question. When you guys tell me out, Megan said, can you give a TBH and a rate for the general Amish population? I mean, this sounds like, like Gen Z terms? TVH stands for... To be honest.

Yeah. I vaguely remember there was a trend where it was like on your story you'd do like and ask me anything but the caption was just TBH. It was like basically

share something honest and transparent about how you think about me or something like that. Got it. So I think that's what it was. I could be completely wrong. And what was the other one?

So about the Amish community? Can you give a TBH and a rate, R-A-T-E for the general Amish population? And in parentheses, 2016 to 2018 throwback.

okay, that was probably when that trend was or something. Okay. TBH, you're not, you don't, you're not quite as holy as you try to act like you. And then general rating, eight. Out of? Oh, wow. You didn't understand this question. Yeah.

Literally, yesterday, I sent Rachel a text just out of the blue. I go, I'm listening to an Amish podcast right now. Kind of appealing. Okay. I think from ages zero to 13, I'm kind of into the Amish lifestyle. Okay. From what I learned yesterday on this podcast. What?

Almost podcast did you find? They were interviewing like an Amish person kind of thing. It was like. Was it Theo? No, it wasn't. His podcast called Other People's Lives. Okay. And, you know, from zero to 13, it just like, it seems like, yeah, their whole thing is like,

yeah, we believe the Bible were Christians, but we are trying to limit distractions. That's at least what she was saying. Like, so no TVs, no phones, you know, whatever. So it's like, yeah, from early age, you know how to work. Like you work hard, you have work ethic. Like I'm helping my mom in early age. Like the boys are helping their dad in early age. And she's like, all you do is just play with your siblings all day as a kid.

She's like, I just read books. I just played and I worked. It was awesome. You go to school. And then like at age 13, your education stops. And then like you're not really around to be around, you know, certain types of people. So like that's where maybe it's probably not as good. But 013, I'm all in on Amish.

Yeah. TBH, I might be raising my kids Amish right now. Whoops. No, I was going to say something similar. Like, Amish are the ones that have Rum Springa, right? Where they just get a go for however long. Yeah. And she was shedding some new light on that.

Okay. Maybe each, you know, maybe Western Ohio is different than Lancaster, PA. You know, maybe they all kind of do Rumfinger. Very much what I gathered is like, there is a lot of different varieties. Right? Yes. Yeah. And you don't want, yeah.

Some drop the R. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It seems like there's definitely a variety. There's definitely a lot of like people that take it more seriously, people that do different things. Because she said her Amish community, their Rum Springer was just, you're finally allowed to hang out with the opposite sex. She's like, it wasn't go out for two years and decide if you

want to be Amish or not. It was just Friday, Saturday, Sundays, a 17 year old girl can be with a 17 year old boy with the purpose of being like, need to find a husband soon. So like, let's get going on this. That was their Rum Springer, his co-ed. My TBH was going to be TBH. I wouldn't mind having to reverse Rum Springer and just trying it out for a little bit. Just trying out Amish land for her sister. Six weeks. Just like, I'll go there for like a long vacation. Just extended vacation. Just limit distractions for six weeks. Sounds pretty great. Just hang out with my family. I am confused how, like, certain things like, so why can you have a car? I understand a cell phone. Yeah, I understand that could be a non-biblical distraction for your walk with Christ or a TV even, but I'm like, car.

So now you're describing what's called a minonite. I'm just kidding. I mean, I feel like you can have a car. Yeah, I think it's also just like kind of taking it back to when it was simpler. I think that's kind of also, yeah, is what it seems like. Yeah, TBH, I also wouldn't hate trying out a buggy for a little while. Like, it's better than a bike, you know? Yep. I don't have to go that far. Yep.

Yeah. Yeah. What do you think? Go for it. Do they go to grocery stores? Yeah. They do? Yeah, I went to one.

So if I had a buggy right now, now I could just ride it to Price Chopper. I think you get a lot more strange looks here than in Sugar Creek, Ohio, but like, yeah, yeah, you could. And they just park in the parking lot or they have their own stall. Well, there's places to tie them up in Sugar Creek, but there's like, there's the EV charging station, and there's the Amish people, and then there's like the expectant mothers, and then there's a handicap and then there's a poop station, we got a horse.

Yep. Yep. Yeah. My rating, five out of ten. Not good, not bad. Just a normal. normal old folk. I don't have any strong feelings one way or the other. Yeah, I'm going to give him a 7 at 10. I should probably say that too. Five sounded too harsh. It's not harsh.

It's just like I don't have any. I think that's valid. Everyone's a 5 out of 10. 5 is the baseline. I'm not, middle of the road. I'm not judging you one way or the other for you being Amish. Yeah.

But if you show me your personality, maybe seven. See a little bit. Yeah. So the shunning is what sounds also not super biblical. Yeah. You want to be Amish? See ya.

You're cut off. Really? You're not with us anymore. You're not part of the church anymore. You know, nothing. Yep. Shannon said, this is a question. I think you guys will answer better than me.

If you had one movie soundtrack that would always be played wherever you went, what would you want it to be? I got a text right when you're reading that and I fully zoned out. So I'm very sorry. Movie soundtrack. What do you want?

Playing. Oh, ooh. It is your life soundtrack. I'll tell you. right now. Watch this movie with Catherine not two weeks ago. You tell me what sound track this is, Jake. I don't know the movie.

Great songs. You know this one? I don't know what movie this is. Sahara, baby. Oh, God. Great soundtrack, dude. Great soundtrack. Yeah, all day. They got it all.

And then... Man, that's good. So good. I got to watch Sahara. Tron? No, I'm just kidding. Tron's a great sound. Isn't it all just like EDM or like what's his name?

It's yeah, it's great for like a Daph Punk. Yeah. Getting after some work. Getting after some emails. Yeah, any, any movie soundtrack that I like or know the songs from is usually just like instrumental because it's like there's not, I didn't grow up on these movies where the soundtrack is just like these and kind of like a playlist of songs that you know. Yeah. To soundtrack my life, it's like would it have to be playing all the time? Prince of Egypt is great, but it's kind of emotional and.

not all like, I want my life to just be emotional and sad sounding. Especially you may not be in the mood to hear I'm playing with the big boys now. Yeah. Sorry. Another question for you guys. They want this anonymous. But I'm curious, Brad, was it hard to work up the courage to ask out Catherine because you'd known her and I'm sure your friends were her friends, vice versa?

Yeah, that's a good question. Just a little scary. It's just a little scary. It's not good. is asking out a girl from church because everyone's going to know everything. Thank you. Timon, you are also welcome to pitch in if you have any helpful tips on how you got Mitch. I bagged midge. Yeah, it's like this guy, I don't know if it's like a college youth group or young adults group, maybe even, you know, high school youth group. Like, everyone knows her,

everyone knows me. Fast ground, doesn't go well. I don't mean, I didn't like go up. I didn't like go up. on stage and like take a microphone and be like Catherine Hansen please go out with me you have to say yes right now you make me the happiest man with his shirt off on this stage I to be fair I don't remember one way or the other but I would assume I had enough indication of like okay I think this girl is at least like somewhat interested in you had a little bit of a yellow light at least yeah I don't think I just like it wasn't like a like zero to a hundred kind of thing it was like hey we're we're texting we're talking. We're, you know, we're hanging out in groups kind of thing. And then all of a sudden it was like, I'm going to go a little bit fast, you know, whatever, like a little bit faster into this kind of thing.

So I don't remember it being like a, hey, we're like barely talking at all. Now I'd like to court you and date you. And, you know, I didn't do that kind of thing. So I don't remember being specifically nervous. I remember being excited. I don't think I was, I don't know if the word was ever nervous as much it was just like, oh, I can't wait to see her the next time I see her around camp or like, oh, I can't wait to, you know, we would send each other letters in the mail at camp and like the girls' camp or girls' lunch would be before ours. And so if she sent me a letter, she would put it in our cabin, like, cubby. Oh, yeah. And so I would always like check to see the got the letter in the cubby. Oh, baby. Oh, yeah. Oh, everyone have some quiet time after

lunch. Everyone go to sleep. Daddy's got to read. Anyway, so, yeah, I don't know if I was nervous. service, for say. I would say I do not support like texting or interacting or anything before. Yeah. I would say you don't want to know them at all. Arrangement. I would say communicate

through like each of your parents. Oh, that's good. Yeah. Like a little like relay the message and the above approach. Hey, time is interested in a play date. Yeah. Well, no. I wouldn't, I wouldn't. It's like something like date. I don't know. I would just say like, play time. Ideally you kind of get to know each other on your wedding day. Okay. Good.

Yeah. Good. Yeah. That's a fun question. Good luck. I think we talked about it last episode, but like, hey, you're not going to be friends with this girl later on in life, you know, one way or the other unless you're married to her. So if you can have that perspective, you can have a little bit less nerves. I'm not saying it's not going to like make things awkward in the short run.

But at least you can be like, well, if it doesn't work out with her, I can't still like be super close with her later anyway. that's good i was trying to find the words articulate that too like it's sort of have perspective outside of the current like situation you're in but like yeah if you're a high schooler and youth group it feels like there's only a handful of girls i'm even interacting with and i'm going to take a shot on one of the three it's like and everyone's going to know but it's like eventually there will be so many and you know it's just like this is not that big of a deal but it's hard to like fully you also got to understand like when you start dating timing you can attest this with your boy grading it changed the dynamic of your friend group too.

It's like, okay, yeah, Graydon's coming, but he's bringing friggin' friggin' snitch. They're always together. Or, yeah, Graydon can't hang out because of this. Oh, Graydon's getting married at 17 and a half. Yeah. Whatever. Not I was kidding.

But you know it. It's like, all of a sudden it's like, oh, this is all different. Like, we were all hanging out before, but now they're always sitting next to each other and whatever. Yeah. She's like rubbing his ears and stuff in front of us. Stop doing that.

It's always the ears. It's always the ears. Always the ears. He loves his ears. The lobes specifically. Yeah. Piggybacking. Potentially. Coleman asked, what is your biggest green flag in someone? Ear rubbing. Probably boar killing.

Boar killing. Yeah, tusk taken. Can cook a mean boar. You get your bore to 160 degrees, a little pink in the center. Biggest green flag. I don't know. Sense of humor. Okay. Yeah, that's good. Specifically like, you know, it's like, oh, they know exactly why.

that joke is funny. They know how to add on. They know how to riff or they know why, you know, that stuff is the best. I was going to say, like, good at asking questions and, like, good questions, you know? Like, I think that shows that they're interested in you. They're, especially in, like, a first date thing. It's like, all right, this is a good 50-50. Yeah.

They're listening. They're asking. Or even with a friend. Like, I don't know. Is that, like, it sounded like it was maybe even just, like, in general. I don't know. But, like, yeah, it's just nice when somebody, like, is ready to talk to you and, like, interested in you rather than just like,

let me tell you about myself kind of thing. That is good. Evan, you got any green flags? Tom is texting. Sorry. Time is texting. Sorry. Sorry.

Hey, man, just, FYI, you are going to listen to this podcast and get a little defamed. Yeah. Tell Jessica, I say sorry. Why has Tyman never told the story of his first fan sighting? Kind of a furrowed brow emoji?

as the one who first recognized him in public two years ago, and never having heard him tell the story in the pod, I'm ever so slightly offended. Is this the girl I met in Prefix Coffee in Grandview? I feel like surely I would have talked about that. Did I not? But did she say anything else? Is it a girl?

No. I mean, would you remember her name or anything? Is she mutual friends with Rendell Weaver or anything like that? Maybe. Oh, actually, maybe. I remember her last name is Yoder. Yeah, that's probably her. Wow, good job.

never talk about her? Kaylee Yoder. Yeah, Kaylee. I think I remember... I mean, you should holler at this girl. She lives in Kansas City? I don't think she does. What would me?

I think she was here for YWam or something. Whang Wham. If that's wrong, I'm sorry, but if that's right, I'm kind of proud I remembered that. Okay. I mean, the fact her name's Yoder and you said, did she know, Rinal Weaver, gotta be the same person.

Yeah, it has to be. I think she was from one of the Carolinas or Ohio or something. Anything else you say to make your piece? I'm sorry. Shout out, that was fun. It was kind of scary. That never happened to me before. I never talked to a girl before.

Yeah, it was my first time. First fan interaction and first female interaction. Yeah. So it was a double whammy. Yep. This is great. I love when they start with like, make sure this is anonymous.

This is great. We should ask me anything that is only anonymous. Like, it has to be anonymous. Yeah. I could get bad. Yeah. We get proctor. What do you do if you want your girlfriend

to use a different perfume? Oh. What would you do with midge? That joke's over done. I'm sorry. No, it's fine. That's medium rare.

It's midgium rare. Man, that's a fun. So Cody Davis, I would, let's see. That's a good question. So you don't like her perfume. I'll buy her new perfume.

Hey, got you something. And you know you like it because you bought it for. That seems like a simple way of doing it. I think you have to, yeah. And then.

Make that barrier to interest. so easy. Hey, I got you some. And then after first spray, you just encourage it. Oh, I love how you smell. Oh, I love this one. And then you like, and maybe before you give it to her, you make sure that her friends or somebody like that also like the perfume. Because it's one thing of like, you know how sometimes like girls are like, I like looking good for you, but I'm also dressing like, because I like looking good for other like girls. You heard that like that like. Yeah. Yeah. Women dress for women. Yeah. Right. And that sounds less weird than what I said. But like. what did you say? Women look good for other girls or something like that. Girls love, yeah.

Girls, they just want to be attractive to other girls. Yeah. Yeah, something like that. But you, you know, it's one thing for a guy to think a girl's perfume smells good, but if her best friend is like, I don't like that. And all of a sudden it's like, oh, yeah, he doesn't know he's talking about. He's a guy. He doesn't know girl perfumes very well.

And all of a sudden, she's back to the old, old spice. So I would make sure that she gets some support from elsewhere as well. or just go and steal her perfume and then what the heck and then she complains you're like that stinks I was actually thinking of buying you some perfume for your birthday perfect I actually just ordered online because I was trying to get it down early

because I was thinking about you here you go and I love how it smells and this one smells really good and so is your your friend thinks so too I've already asked or just say it smells like my grandma Like, oh yeah, my grandma. Yeah, but you make it seem like you're not meaning to be mean.

No, I like your perfume. It reminds me my grandma. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she's like, what? You're like, no, no, no, it's a good thing. Obviously, she knows it's not. No, the head, the head of the quilters club at church where is that same perfume. No, yeah, it reminds me of this, I think, this funeral home I went to.

It smells like that. It's good. It's good. Yeah, is that the embalming stuff that they use as well? What is the thing that's like the, it keeps like the, like the, you keep the moth balls in. Yes, I had. Smells like that. I had a friend who worked at a Mexican restaurant right next door to a bakery,

and that perfume reminds me of when you walk outside and the doors are both open. Both up. Who doesn't love those smells? Yeah. This is a good thing. A chimituro. Yeah, so something like that. Those are your two options.

Just get her perfume and make it easier in yourself or like backhanded compliment. That is a tough one. Or this one's a big swing. be honest and just tell her you don't like it. And hopefully she cares enough about you. And don't say like, here's what I've learned. Because sometimes I just think,

why not be blunt to Catherine? She's not that sensitive of a person. I'm just going to be straight. And like, it's not me being mean. It's just me being honest. You should still be a little bit kind about it. You should lay it on a pillow before you give it to her.

Honestly, it's just not my, I know you like this perfume, but like it's just not my favorite. Just wanted to let you know. I think you should say it even delicate, more delicate, more softer than that, almost in code. Hey, my, uh, my hound dog isn't, uh, is it finding your tree. Finding your tree.

Yeah, my, uh, my hound dog is, uh, he's not scooting up any, any coons. Hey. What? Your urine's not repelling my dear. What? I would do that. Yeah, yeah. And then, yeah, it's not super direct.

That's not super conversational. But, like, she'll know what you mean. Okay. That's good, too. Yeah. That's good. Hey. Hey.

Sometimes it... Any of those examples should work. Sometimes it feels like I'm a little downwind from your fart door. You know what I mean? Maybe is she... Stuff like that. You think she's like a daughter of a plumber? Could be.

If not, bring it up. Hey, it seems like your, uh, your pee-traps not all the way. dolled. It's good. Yeah. She's, how do you know? And then she will respond

with how do you know? This is, you may be thinking of that when you said code. This was interesting. Going back to Extracted real quick, talking to Luke, he said his brothers

and Luke, they all learned Morse code before they went on the show so they could communicate with each other in Morse code. Good for them. And so I guess there was one time, and I don't know if he's eventually

going to, they're going to show this on the show. There was one time, like, he was really hurt and he was like, he knew that people were gunning for him. And so he was trying to get like extra sympathy for being hurt. He's like, I would genuinely

hurt. But like, I think people were like, hey, you need to probably like take him out of the game. He's so hurt. And he like did Morse code. It was like this and this. And he said, yeah, I think. And so he said, I'm okay or something like that. Like, like, I'm just, I'm just playing this up. So like a little bit or something. So that people will feel bad for the brothers and like, okay, we'll give, we'll give Luke the next round of supplies. Cool. Kind of fun inside. baseball there. Speaking of women and perfume, Kyle asked,

would you rather have your local WMBA team win a championship or have $5? Who's our local? Yeah, it's tough question. We don't have a local WMBA team, so can't answer that one. Who's the closest WMBA team to us, do you think? Dang, good question.

Chicago? Chicago Fire. I didn't even know if that was the same team. No, Chicago MD. You're right. Chicago, yeah. Minnesota Links. Chicago PD.

Minnesota links, probably Oklahoma City Lightning. There's the San Antonio Ritales. Summer asked, Most Annoying Song of All Time, and then we can be done soon. I'm ready to go. Most annoying song of all time.

My first thought was it's a small world after all. Okay. I remember being so sick of that song. It's not even a song. It's just a couple lines over and over and over again. That one stunk.

Yeah. Other annoying songs. This was kind of like a popular take on the internet, but dance monkey or whatever. Oh, really? Like, oh, I steep that, deep, that, dance, that, dance, love that. I like that song. I like her. I don't care who knows.

Jake and I kind of grew up with that kind of music. Like, that was like our early adulthood was that kind of style, whatever that is. What is that? Like, who else are you thinking of? Um, I don't know, but that's a good question. Let's see.

Like that, but that kind of like, like, hollowy, I don't know. I can't drive it very well, but like, not this song really that well,

but, uh, you ain't gotta go to where, where, where, fifth harmony. Yeah, that's not really a great example.

Like, even like, Tyo Cruz or like, uh, like that generation of, I feel like, are you talking about like voice altering? Yeah, and like in like kind of like this like weird like pitch to the to the music.

I don't know how to describe it very well because I don't. But it was like it was like fun like we like that stuff. I don't know. And I am only mildly annoyed by that song. I think the internet it's more of like I couldn't think of a gooder for myself. So I was like well people think this one's annoying. You got an annoying song, Jackie? I always know him when I hear.

I feel like there was like a year ago when I was like I heard a song at Chicken and Pickle the day. I can't remember what that like either 80s or 90s song was. but for whatever reason, I was like, this is the worst song ever. No one's going to remember it. I had a few growing up that I really, I think it was mainly because they were really overplayed.

I never liked lips of an angel. I know that's like a song. Yeah, I love that one. The reason by Hubba Stank, that one always kind of bother me. Okay. And then Loz Lonely Boys,

Heaven. I hated that song. Or like, I was like, I don't know why the song is so popular. I would say in the realm of the songs I've always just disliked is just all-American rejects.

Oh, really? Just anything, yeah, never. Swing? I don't know if I know that one super well. Okay. But like... Move along. Yeah, oh, yeah.

Dirty little secret. Yeah, any of the radio hits. Yeah, the new radio. Yeah, I didn't... Oh, yeah. Oh, those songs suck. Yeah. Britten a colon, in her hand,

she knows how to make music. What was the one? With N. F. I can't wait for her collab with her. That's gonna be safe. Pickleball song. Yeah. It's gonna be so fun.

How's it go? Can't remember. It's on. It's on tape. Oh, another one. Really dislike the song, Great Escape by Gwen Stefani and Acon. Woo.

Is that the one? Woo! She talks really fast. Refrigerator, milk's built on the floor. That's in there somewhere. Maybe. Yeah. I just remember thinking,

this song is so bad. This song is so annoying. I was never an A-Con guy either. So that's probably, I never like Gwen Stefani. very much and then add ACON in there. No thanks. My first memory of being annoyed

by someone's ringtone because I'm like, that song sucks. Out of all the songs, that's your ringtone is a song by Ray J called sexy can I. Oh,

never liked that song. That was cousin Steveo's ringtone. We went through a drought. Like 2008 to 2008 to 2010 was rough, I think. I think that was... No, Jake. That was like,

who am I thinking of? Oh, T. Payne? No, I never like T. Oh, really? I feel like that was his... An Acon. That was kind of their heyday back then. I rest my case.

I was never into those guys. I never liked Little Wayne. Like, I don't know. I never. That's who I was listening to. They were popping then. But if you didn't like them, then yeah,

I don't know what you're listening to. Natasha Beddingfield's early stuff. That's probably what you're listening to, 2009. Honestly, I loved, is that, feel the rain on yours.

That's a good song. He probably came out around. It's coming back. Tannish. That song is awesome. It's bigger. Yeah, Ray J. Gosh,

has a ringtone. That was his, yeah, it was his ringtone. I still remember that. every time we got a text, I'm pretty sure. Like, did you have to change this? I mean, one of the best songs in that time period was a song like this, Simon. Ready?

Party like a rock. Party like a rock star. Party like a rock star. Party like a rock star. Party like a rock star. Yeah. To totally do. Kind of catch you towards the end there. And this is awesome.

Listen to this one. This one, this was a little bit earlier. Trying to catch me riding dirty. I was gonna catch me riding dirty. Trying to catch me riding dirty. Trying to catch me riding dirty. Trying to catch me riding dirty. Trying to catch me riding dirty.

Trying to catch me riding dirty. No way. Yeah, dude. It was awesome. Take me back. We've regressed. That was a good one. That's awesome.

I mean, they were just. Camillionaire. A millionaire was something else. Who's saying party like a rock star? something boys. There was a crew of boys doing it. Did franchise boys? Was that them?

No, I forgot about them too, though. They had some songs. It wasn't them? No, I think it was a one-hit wonder. The shot boys. Shot boys. Shot boys. 2007.

And to be fair, at the time, I loved that song. The time was as good as it got. It had a great little beat to it. Gosh, the music back then was bad. Party like rock star is a good example. Cyclone, though. Remember Mims? Nope.

One hit wonder. This is why I'm hot. Didn't hate that one. I know. That one had a nice beat to it. It was like my first whisper song. It's like kind of fun that he's not like really saying it loud. This is why?

This is why? Is that the one that's like, I don't see why you're hating from outside the club. You can't even get in. No, that's Chris Brown, Buster Rhymes. Yeah. Yeah. What's that one? Crazy fast.

Look at me now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I remember this is why I'm hot being one of those first songs where I'm like starting to pick up on lyrics and being pretty annoyed by him. I'm hot because I'm cool. I'm cool because you're not. This is why this is why I'm hot. So that's the chorus. That's all we got. Yeah. And I don't think I ever listened to lyrics of 80 songs. Something like that. You know what's the song I loved? Sorry, now we're just going into. And this is like one that like I think everyone a lot of people know from back in the day. But like I don't think very many people were nearly as excited about it as.

I was. Can't help it. The girl can't help. Oh, man. I'm like in love. Fergie song. Clumsy. You got me tripping.

Oh, it's dumbling. Furgy had a couple of hits in there. A couple slept on hits. London Bridge was pretty good. And then the one, she was always spelling, glamorous. And Fergillicious. Didn't love glamorous.

I liked all the spelling and glamorous. Yeah. Fergolicious was fun. London Bridge was fun. Clomsey was. And all time banger. I was pretty good. Can't help it.

Go can't help it. Yeah. G. L. A. M. Let's just spell it out. I think that's...

O-U-S. We need to ring back just spelling. Yeah. Are you... B-A-N-A-N-A-S. That's how you spell bananas. F to the E. Yeah, didn't they spell F-E-Lish or something?

Oh, no, no, no. It was... T to the A to the STEY, girl, you tasty. Oh, no, I'm thinking, like, she for sure spelled Furgy. I think a very similar rhythm than that, yeah. I think Will I Am spelled it for her, actually. I can imagine it. Black IPs were like, let's just keep spelling.

She's crushing the spelling. It's working for us. Yeah. Anyway, that's music. You know what song randomly, sorry. You were wrapping it up. I was going to bring another song. I got all the time in the world, brother.

It came across my DJ, very random, but it was, I don't know. Rather be like the, If you gave me. Oh, yeah. I love that song. This song. Just Glenn? I was like,

you got some hits. This has four different like parts of it that are like parts of the song and they're all so catchy and I've all heard them and not known they were the same song. I was like this. There's a reason this one is like so popular. See, and I don't, I don't know if I'm right or wrong about this, but that's the kind of song that I'm talking about with those other songs. Like, not unlike the 2008, but I'm talking about like when Jake and I were. a little bit older. Yeah.

I feel like that song was in that realm of songs. So maybe I'm wrong about the timeline of it, but like whatever that monkey song was that you said. It's kind of that same feel of like a fun, just like fast-paced drive song. I don't know. That is not what I picture when I think of that dance monkey song, though. I'll be honest.

Fine, timing. And then I checked out the clean bandit. I was like, whoa, symphony, them two. I miss you. How does that one go? Do you guys know? I miss you with Julia Michaels. Nope.

That's who I thought Britt Nicole was at first. That name I thought was like the same thing. That's the thing is like I don't know anybody that sings any of these songs like in that era. Yeah. But like there's some fun ones.

Yep. Boy, that's fun. And then we went through like this like, hey, let's be kind of a gross girl kind of era with like Kesha and Lady Gaga. A little Miley in there. Yep. Yeah, like nasty Miley.

She's not part in the USA anymore. She's on wrecking balls. Yes, she was. Yes, she was. so yeah that was kind of a thing for a while yeah maybe still is i don't know moly really came out of nowhere and now she's like chilled out really yeah good for her i like her voice great voice great voice rasm all right time what else you want to talk about i don't know guys whatever you guys want i think that's it all right let's go find the comment

of the week shall we shall We. The part where he's like, it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So good. So good.

Sorry. I didn't have pulled out. I should have it pulled up. That's okay. Hey, I'm looking too. I do like this from Anna on episode 512. As a homeschooler who knows nothing about sports, I appreciate having time in there.

So they have to explain. sports terms. Oh yeah, I did like that comment. Sometimes it's like we could try to explain everything or we could explain nothing or we could find middle ground but obviously the people in the room we want to at least somewhat tell them what's going on. So shout out Anna.

Thanks for always commenting, everybody. I've seen this comment, a similar comment at a few different places so I will respond to it. But Mitchell Bowser on Spotify said Jake, I got to know what your final joke was because I think all I said was the punch sign. Yeah. So essentially it's like the very beginning of the set I talk about how

Mikey looks like a version of Trey if Trey was straight. So you kind of establish that. And then I do a joke also towards the beginning where I talk about how I, you know, I used to do stand-up comedy and now I do pickleball.

So I talk about when I first told my grandpa this, like, I'm gonna do stand-up comedy. He's like, that's great, but you need to get a job. Five years later, I say, grandpa, I'm, I am quitting stand-up comedy to do pickleball. He goes, that's great,

but you need to stop being gay. And I'm like, it's not that, I'm married, you know, so there's a couple of these things that have been established and then you get all the way to the end and my furnace is broke so I have this handyman come over

and there's pickleball paddles everywhere and he can see goes to my thermostat he sees a photo of me and Trey and he goes, you all seem close and I'm kind of setting up this what do I do? I can either explain everything or I could say it was both 15 minutes

and I go, pretty gay. I mean maybe six or seven out of ten. It didn't even you slam the box. I must do what needs to be done. Okay. Okay,

time is not going to do it. I'll do it. So that was the final joke. And obviously, if I were to do multiple shows, I could tinker the right way to deliver that, or how long do I pause? Do I say,

I'm really gay? Do I say weird? You know, what's the funniest version of it? But for the time being, it was like, it felt risky because it's kind of wild punchline. And in the show,

it was great. But I mean, yeah, people laughed. It went great. Yeah. Yeah. Our timing and exact, because you told them to laugh. So they were laughing.

boy. So. laughing so loud every time. Mitchell Bowser, that was kind of the bones of the final joke.

Shout out Mitchell B. Good guy. Good guy. Sorton Grin on Spotify commented something about confirming that you did have my hard drive and you did find a video of a bear in the woods.

Oh. I don't know what episode. And then someone replied and said, two people replied and said, thank you. I was questioning my memory. And like, I thought so. I was like, wait,

no, it was Jake. So you have apparently found this video of the there chasing Jesse. Hand up. I still don't remember it, but sorry, I lied. Man, that's crazy. I think what I need to do is I need to start listening back to the podcast.

I need to refresh my own memory of what we talked about. I was always very familiar with it when I was woodworking more because it was like always on. Every Monday and Wednesday, I would listen to it. I think for me, it was when we switch to two episodes a week. That's when I stopped listening to it. It's hard to. Yeah. If anyone finds that moment, though, because I still am like,

yeah, I believed you when you said it wasn't. you. I was like, oh, it must have been someone else. I don't remember it either. If three people confirmed it, I feel like I must have seen it. And I'm sorry. Yeah. But she said a bear pooping in the woods. And I don't think that was in the video. So who do we believe here? I don't know. I don't know. The age old question. If Jake saw bear poop in the woods, did it really happen? That'd be a funny thing for ghosties to do. If ghostsies want to get on this, uh, make a quiz for us. Gaslight us. Yeah. No, not gaslight us, but just like, ask us questions of things from the podcast that we have told us.

or we have talked about to each other and see how well we remember our own stories. That would be interesting. Like obviously find the most obscure just throw away almost stories that are probably not memorable to us and see if you can catch us being like, that never happened to me.

Like you said it did, dude. Yeah. Or like I don't, yeah. Ask, yeah, all of us. Like, what did time and find on his, yeah, or what did Jake find on this hard drive? Yeah. That'd be awesome.

So anybody want to try to stump the swabs? Stump the ghost. That's right. Did you guys see that one comment? there was like, I'm begging you just one time, just legit doing an hour full episode about ghost. I wrote out of my notes of like, if we don't have anything else to talk about, we can, I was like, yeah, we made it happen.

It's within the realm of possibility, probably. Just do the ghost episode. And we just improv the whole time. And yeah. I think we also could bring some data. Yeah, I think you just talk about what we know to be true. Yeah. Do our own experiences with ghosts.

I've got a couple of those like sticks that are shaped in a way where it kind of tells you where the ghost are. So I could bring one of those. How many ghosts? I don't want to get into it. Okay, okay, great. Give giving everything away. All right.

Cool. Thank you, Gosey's for your contributions. Yes, always. Shout out Paige Cucco and the Manthke for winning the Fantasy League. Presented by Main Street Roasters? Come on. Oh, good. We are supposed to say that.

You know that, baby. Yeah. Get yourself a sniff. Get your own sniff. Yeah. Please do. And we will see you Monday. and oh, we're going to have stories.

There's going to be a big gap between when you hear us now and the next time we record like in our own lives. Right. So plenty of to say next time you hear us. Two weeks. Two weeks.

Fortnite. Fortnight. Yep. All right. Hey, we love you guys. See you Monday. See ya. See ya.
