Catherine and the kids have been gone for, feels like an eternity, Jake. They just got home last night. And while she's gone, I go on either one of two modes as a man. I either go into like 19-year-old frat guy. Okay. Or like just super clean, neat freak.

Like, let's get this house perfect because kids aren't going to mess anything up in the house. Okay. I think more circumstantially than actually because I needed to do this, or because I wanted to do this, I turned into the 19-year-old frat guy. Nice.

I mean, like, literally, like, I didn't have any, I left, I ran out of spoons eventually. Like, because I used them all on cereal. That's, I ate cereal and just didn't do any dishes for a long time. And so finally, like, and part of the reason I didn't do the dishes is my least favorite thing in the entire world as far as, like, house stuff goes, is emptying the clean dishes out of the dishwasher.

Unloading. Unloading. Yeah, I don't know why. I, I, I, It's not that hard. I think it's bending down. I hate the ground. I hate it.

Like, I'll do the top, top section just fine. Idea. What about, like, just like a chest level dishwasher. Is that so impossible? Yeah.

Or like a... Waste level. Just a long waist level dishwasher. Like, make it longer. I don't know. Yeah. Waste.

Just height and make... Yeah, put it at the count, put it up at, like, the cabinet height. Why not just load them up? I'd much rather load none, why doesn't the cabinet? why isn't the cabinet the dishwasher?

I don't know. Maybe someday it will be. Right? Like, oh, I'm putting my dirty dishes away. Yeah. They get cleaned where they... Oh, wow. And then they just sit.

I kind of feel this way. Not exactly that, but like, I will wash it by hand a pot that we just use our pan. And I know we're going to use that pan tomorrow for breakfast. I just put it back on the stove. Yeah.

Why is that like, why do we have to put this back just to get it back out? It's like making the bed. I'm going to get right back in it. It doesn't. It's a nice looking pan. Like, it's not like it's like, oh, that is just unbecoming. I can't look at that pan on the stove.

Yeah, I think guys have a high threshold for like what clutter looks like. Yeah. Like I, my fork for breakfast, I'm not going to like put that in the dishwasher. I got lunch coming up right around the corner. You lick it off and get ready for the next meal. I'm going to use a fork for that lunch. Dang, that would make me not run out of forks as easily right there. Yeah.

I like reusing. So I'm not necessarily proud of this. I haven't told Catherine this. She's just now learning this for the first time. I only ran the dishwasher, I think, once, maybe twice while she was gone. But I did unload. And part of the reason I don't like unloading the dishwasher for Catherine is because

she uses dishes that I have no idea where they're coming from. They're foreign to me. They're not even, they're not. I'm like, is this borrowed or is this ours? And where does it belong? And then she gives me, she laughs. in my face whenever I don't put it back in the right spot. I'm like, okay, sorry, I didn't know where the pizza roller goes.

Yes, I have this exact thing written somewhere in my stand-up notes. I don't know what jokes I wrote or whatever, but yes, I, like, it's a humiliation ritual. Okay. Oh, she just watches in the corner, like, let's see where he puts the wooden bowl. You thought the snake knives went there? Nice try, bud. Nice try, bud. It's like she knows when I'm going to be around to unload the dishwasher.

She's like, let me just toss in something. Let's just see what happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, a wooden blender. Good luck. What is this? You're inventing up. You washed it?

Yeah. You washed the dishwasher? We do lemon and baking soda on that. Yeah. I don't know that. Yeah, it's straight vinegar out of your mouth so that it combines with your saliva. It's more clean. So here's what I happened, Jake.

And this is one of those things where I'm like, I should not be proud of this, but I was kind of like, I don't hate this, that I did this. I unloaded the dishwasher the other day. There was foreign things. in there. I'm like, I don't know where this goes. Where's this light blue lid go? I've never seen this before in my life. And so I just, as a man the other day, I was just busy, put them there on the counter and didn't know what to do with them. And so yesterday, right before Catherine gets home, I had already run the dishwasher for other things. It had just gotten done. She was coming home

in like an hour. I took out like five or six bowls. I knew where those go. Put those back in the cabinet real quick and then take all these dishes. I didn't know where they go and just throw them in with the rest of the clean dishes and said, welcome home. I don't know. Like, you can judge me if you want, but that's exactly what I did. And she's going to know exactly where they're going to go.

And it's going to be just fine. I mean, that seems fine. You were both running in your own lane. You're running in your strengths. Yeah, you're operating your strengths. Yeah. I feel like I will, there's always a, to me, it's always a bowl.

It's always a giant bowl that I've never seen before. It doesn't fit anywhere. I feel like, I'm like, how could this go in any form of cabinetry? And you know what? I have an ability to shove things and make them fit. Which is never a good idea because then you open up that door. It's like a springloaded jack in the box when they do open it up.

Sorry, Hattie. Yeah, I feel like it's just without, you just have to, it's what you do as husband. You see the big bowl doesn't fit anywhere. You leave it out until your wife gets home. And then she opens up a drawer that you've never. seen before. I just like, I didn't know we had that one. I guess it could go there. Okay. Down in the basement. Got it. Anyway, time in, is that what you kind of going on or what? Yeah, right? Yeah, me and, I mean,

me and Midge are bickering about this just all the time. Just, gosh, make it stop. Do you run dishes at your house? Um, I haven't for a while because like kind of when I initially moved out, or maybe even a little before, I kind of graduated from being on kitchen cleanup, dude. duty. Okay. Um, which like has always my whole childhood been like kids are assigned jobs. Like, I was, I think I was loader and unloader for most of my childhood. Like, so I got pretty familiar. I mean, but then again, it's, it's true what you guys are saying because like I was the dedicated unloader and I still didn't know where a good 40% of the things would go. And so I was constantly asking like, yeah, and there'd always be some surprise item that does go in the basement. It's like,

Why is it up? Yeah. Who knew? Yeah. Who knew that that one went in the cupboard in the attic? It's like, what? Didn't even know that was in there. But I was supposed to know, though.

Yeah. Yeah, that's the thing. And obviously, like, if you're making all the food, you shouldn't be expected to do all the dishes and unload all the dishes. Yeah. But man, does it make it more convenient when you unload those dishes when you know where you got stuff? Yeah. I think, like, next house, I almost need to assign where things go.

Because it's a memory. I was never taught. How can I expect you well a test? I was never taught this. I was sick when we learned this. I do worry, though, that Rachel might not follow your system. Like, Catherine, I could try and she'd be like, well, that doesn't make sense. I'm going to change this.

We don't do that. Yeah. Speaking of that, the video that you made Tymon for Johnny and his wife. Yeah. Did you see this bread? No, I did not. I love Johnny. He's one of my favorite people.

No, what was it? It was like, we renovated our kitchen. Here's like the fun new things we did with it. Oh, cool. And I liked a lot of them. Yeah, lots of good stuff. Some of them were like, some of it reminded me of the founder where they learned the most efficient way to run a McDonald's kitchen.

Right. Some of it was like that. They went to the tennis court and like, yeah, it all out. It was like, a lot of the dishes and forks will be stored right next to the dishwasher because that's like most convenient. What else they have in there? It was nice. I'm trying to think for some reason that only, like there were so many features.

The only one I could think of is hidden plugs underneath the counter. It's the only thing I could think of in the video. I didn't even remember that. Hidden plugs underneath the counter or like inside the drawers. I think just like, Oh, underneath like underneath the counter. Cabinets. Yeah,

I was struggling with that earlier too, Taman, don't worry. Yeah. That reminds you too. I think their junk drawer had plugins in it. It did. Yeah,

I've seen that. I don't know why I'm forgetting everything. And why do you need that? For charging phones and stuff, maybe. Oh, you would just charge your phone in the junk drawer? Oh, it's so unsightly to see all those, all those cords.

Oh, well, that, hey, I don't, that's fine. I feel like the junk drawer is where I, I already store all my charges. But I guess they can't plug in. Exactly. Chargers can't do. They're impotent in there. I am remembering one thing from filming that.

Like, they have the super nice, like, fridge that kind of is like wooden looking and like blends in or whatever. Yeah. I remember, like, Abby being like, let's show this. And Johnny's like, I just don't want people to feel like we're bragging or like. He is so, he's like the sweetest, kindest person I've ever met.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he also, for somebody who's online, all the time, he worries about it. So if you ever have a thought about Johnny and you want to say it and it's negative,

don't say it because he'll actually be sad about it. He's great, though. Trying to say more of it. It's not your story anymore. That's cool, though. It's cool, renovated kitchen. Yeah, pretty cool. What is the benefit of, what do they call it, a pot, pot filler?

Pot filler. Oh, yeah, that was one of the things. Water pot? Oh, yeah. It's in the flip house if you guys want to buy one. It just is like, rather than, like, let's say you have a big pot that you need filled up. Macaroni night. It fills up the pot.

No, I'm just kidding. It just makes it, like, easier to transfer a large pot of water. That might be kind of heavy. From sink to stove. From sink to stove. It starts on stove. Starts on stove. As it was.

Yeah, I feel like it's one of those things that's like, if you're doing a new, like, if you're completely renovating your kitchen, it's not that hard to put it in. But, like, if you don't already have one, it's not a big deal. Like, you don't need one. You know what I mean? Yeah. I'll tell you what homes don't need. And maybe this is a trend you're saying, you're a bit of a real estate mobile.

self. Mughal. That's what I get all the time. String mogul. You're such a mogul, dude. Do you know what Muggle means? Bathtubs, just in general. Oh, I like that.

No, no, no, you're wrong. Bathtubs are nice. I guess kids use bathtubs. All right. Yep, you need a bathtub. Follow up. Master bathroom tubs. That, to me.

See you, timing. Good to see, me. See you time. This is funded. Yeah. Means a lot. It means a lot, man. he hates tub talk

Jose did not want to put in a tub we put in a tub in the master of the flip house because it's a girl thing I'm with the ladies love the tub right but they never used the tub and I'm not somebody's gonna comment comment I have tub night every Tuesday

tub night Tuesday I'm like okay fine you're right you need Harriet Tubman nights follow the the drinking oh gourd follow being a Harry Tumman

and following things. Rachel and I were having a debate the other night. The North Star. Yeah. We couldn't figure out we're like, did the Underground Railroad follow this or did the Wiseman follow this? Or both or neither.

Because I feel like I've heard. Are we still talking saying North Star? Yeah. Well, yeah. It's like we were in Phoenix this past week and we were like looking up the stars and you know, we're like, you see any dips? You know,

we're trying to like look at things. And I go also the whole North Star business. I've never understood that as a kid. Because the Earth is constantly rotating, spinning. This one star is always north. I don't buy it. But are we spinning around with the stars? There's a star spinning?

Stars don't spin. Stars stay foot. I just, I have a tough time. And this is without any research or any, barely any logic. Yeah. But I'm like, the star is always north. Well, I guess if it doesn't move. But we're flying around.

Wait, you're not. Yeah, but that's the point, right? Or maybe like, wait, I guess we're doing this. I'm so dizzy following this. Like the star can't always be north, can it? If we're doing this. You see Jake doing like summer solst through the forest? I'm trying to just get home.

We're doing this around the, it can't be north the whole time. What is the north star? What are we in this example? Well, we're the- 23.5. Axis. Switch to you. Would have never known.

We are going around our own star, you know, orbiting. But at the same time, we're spinning. Yeah. Okay, you're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And as a season. go like, you know, we are 23.5. 23.5 hours in a day.

That's why they have a leap year. That's how Steve Coop's diet, actually. It's 23.5. I get 30 minutes a day. I can binge. Yeah, he puts like a 23.5 sticker on the back of his car. We should start doing that. Yeah.

Oh, cool. You ran almost a marathon. No, I just, uh, I do 23. It's a diet. It's a diet. Good intro. seriously, who followed the North Star? Was it, was it underground railroad or is it the Wiseman?

I think was, if I had to choose one of them, underground railroad. Whoa. That's what I said, too. Wise men, I think the star, ooh, trying to distinguish between, this is tough, when you distinguish between, like, maybe just Bible Bible storybook as a kid versus the real Bible. Yeah, which one? Because for a second, I was going to say, you're talking about the star of the movie. I think the group of angels formed the star, but I don't know if that's true because they were

like, oh, they were so bright. either way, wasn't it just like a bright light that was formed just like then to guide them there? Like a whale versus a large fish kind of thing. Yeah. Was it Joan and Lane? You know, Joe from the Bible. I thought you were just been like, you know, there's always that debate in nature. Was it a star?

Was it a bright light? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Then again, it's like, does it tie into like that actually just was the North Star? But. Hey.

And also, we're at the wise men like three years late. Like the children's story. And was this before or after the millions of years of rain. Oh, Carnian pluvial event. Oh, yeah, the pluv. I don't know. Yeah, the wise men, yeah, true. Because they followed the star, but that was like,

Jesus was like a toddler. Yeah. We talking drinking gourd is far of the North Star. That's the, that's the Big Dipper, right? Drinking, yeah. I think there's like two stars at the end of the Big Dipper that point towards the North Star. Okay.

If you believe that. I really liked the constellations back in the day. Need to get back into it. Really? I thought it was fun. Totally Jim and hi. Orion, dude. Orion would...

That one I could point out. I could point out Orion's belt with the best of them. Yeah. Serious is cool? I don't know that. It's a dog. Serious?

Dog. Serious? Dog. Orion? Dog. Hey, it's roll of theme music. Yeah. Good joke.

Uh, uh, oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in white. Me too. Midwest best friends. Eating fast food on repeat. So come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead.

Get on your feet because it's a ghost from a podcast. Everybody in the morning who are taking around. I'm asking the internet. How does the North Star work? How is the North Star work? That's a good way to ask. Great question. How does it work?

How does it function? Because, yeah, I also did kind of forget that we are. We're moving. We're moving more ways than one. And I kind of forgot about that. I couldn't tell you. Oh, here we go. All right.

I got some great clarifications. already on this. Because we're spinning around Earth's axis, as mentioned. There's the X-axis. The North Star sits almost directly in line with that axis. Think of it like this. You guys ready to have it pretty easy, this would be easy to cover him. I can't wait.

If you spin in a circle while pointing a laser straight up through the center of your head, this is just the start of the sentence. Whoa. I don't even read beyond this. I don't even know where this goes. If you spin the circle while pointing a laser straight up at the center of your This makes sense to me so far. So there's a laser coming out of your head.

You're dissecting your head with the laser. Okay. The laser's direction in space stays exactly the same. The Earth does something similar. Our planet rotates, but the north axis keeps pointing toward nearly the same spot in the sky. Yeah, this makes sense. But what? No, wait, hold on.

Because the stars are not in like, they're not in our atmosphere. They're independent. I'm just trying to figure out to go laser through my head. I need to see it. I need to see a globe. You know what? I watched half of the big short last night before Catherine gets home. We got so close to watching the big short last night.

Have you ever seen it? Oh yeah, I love it. I love it. Yeah, it's one of those movies that's like, I'll watch this every year or two. Yeah, Rachel was like, you want to watch this or Big Short? She goes, Big Short. I go, do you have any idea what it is? She goes, no. That's like, that's probably why you said yes to it so quickly. I just thought it was a guy who wore like cargo shorts. I watch it. I've watched it plenty of times.

And I'm still like kind of confused every time. And they do the thing where they're like, don't understand it. Here's Selena Gomez at a blackjack table explaining it. And even that's like, okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, well, whoa, calm down. The closest I can get to explaining it is with the jingo blocks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that. Yeah.

But then they start throwing out CDOs. I'm like, whack, crack, crack. Cynthetics. Crap, crap, crap, crap. Crap. Let's do Margarabi in a bath again. Yeah. Oh, she's British.

Where's she from? Down under. Down under. Which is British. Which is Southside. Zeeland. She's a Kiwi. So she was eating a Kiwi.

But anyway. Anyway, that's, you know, bathtub, Tubman, North Star. Margarabi. Watched that movie, and I watched another one that I'd like. There's only a second time I've seen it. Molly's game. You seen that one? Good one. I like that actress.

Jessica Chastain. Is that her name? Yeah. Quiz me on another person in Hollywood. Who kind of looks like her. Oh. I would say Hellie from Severance. Sure.

I was just red-headed people. Yeah. The girl from Madman. Sigourney Weaver. Redheads. Amy Adams. Because I feel like... Amy Adams.

Do you think Amy Adams looks like her? No. Bryce Dallas-Dallus Howard. Bryce Dallas. Her name is Bryce. Bryce. Dallas Howard? Yeah, I guess she's not as well known as I thought.

I guess she's not. Probably she's been Dune or something, right? No, she's. Some, like, huge movie I never saw. Cartoon, Spider-Verse. The movie I've seen her in, Jurassic World, and the help. Yeah, man, I need to see the help. I feel like that's a classic.

The help is confusing because both Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas-Howard are in it, and they do kind of look similar. Are they related? I don't think so. In the movie, they're not related? No. That's too bad. Yeah, it's, yeah, it's unfortunate.

I think it'd be really fun to be a casting director. I'd be really good at that. You got the stuff. You look like a villain. Yeah. You should play, oh, you'd be a good pervert. You should play a pervert. A weird perverted janitor.

I'm interviewing for the... I want to be the lead. Yeah, protagonist. No, no, no, no. I can just tell, buddy. Oh, yeah. Pick up a broom. Yeah, it looks natural.

You know, like, because have you seen the clips of, like, people that interview for the office that are popular, like famous people. Like Bob Odenkirk. Like all these people are like... Seth Rogen? Yeah. And it's like...

Like those people would not have been as good. As crazy as that sounds. So many people interviewed for Michael and Dwight. And it's like, yeah, they found the Dwight. Yeah. Like Eric Stone Street was trying to be Kevin. And I was like, Eric Stone Street's great actor. Not a Kevin.

Yeah. You know. Molly's game, though, good movie. Yeah. I don't know. I like gambling movies. I think those are always fun. A little bit of mob in there.

And the true stories. Yeah, yeah. I don't need to be 100% true. I like the movie version of the true story. I do like in the big short, they'll literally be like, okay, this isn't exact. Like, they'll like break the fourth wall and be like, okay, so we didn't just like find his brochure here.

I do really like that. You know, it's kind of original fun. I wish more movies would do that. So if you know it's a true story. Anyway. Oh, Selena Gomez. Slina Girmis. I don't think she's a good actress at all.

You seen Only Murders? Yeah, I didn't think she was that good in that. Catherine can't stand her. Nice girl, though. What are we going to do here, guys? Her heart's in the right place. Is that right? Do you know who she's married to?

Binnie Blanco. Yeah. Nailed it. Good job. I was like, I want to say bad bunny, and I was like, it's not bad bunny. Yeah. So it's the other guy, it's like bad bunny.

Yeah. I don't even know if that's true. Is Benny Blanco similar in two bees, natures? Yeah, two bees. Is he a D. And he's in music. Yeah. That's all I know about him, though.

And Scott probably likes him. Does he? Probably. He's not like a. Hispanic music guy. He's just like a pop producer. He's not Hispanic. He just looks so span.

He does a little bit. Or I'm saying like he's not making bad bunny type music. He's like writing songs for Katie Perry and Justin Bieber. Oh, oh, oh, oh. I see. Got it. Blanco, you know.

A blanco. All right, everyone, clive their hands. Uh-huh. Yeah. Whoa, big money. Go with K. Whoa, big money. Go with K.

You have a little job. Bam, bam, bam. And then dun da-da-dam. Bam-bang. Oh, don't remember hands. Bye, ma-ban. I'm down the band, bam, blah, blah, whoa, big money, bam, whoa, big money, go with Cam. I didn't think about much beyond what we.

I like, oh, you got a job. You got a job. Cam, Cam, Cam. You want those earnings to stop. No, you don't. Oh, IRA, go with Cam. Oh, yeah. Big Rother.

Yeah, Big Rother. Go with Cam. We're talking about Cam. The official. financial advisor. That's right. Financial strategy planner of the Ghost Nerds podcast. We've been working with him.

Brian and I have separately for about a month now, just on our own. So we can tell you firsthand, first cam, first cam, that's a guy who knows his stuff. And it is helpful. I think especially in a situation like us where, well, I mean, there's a lot of situations.

I think where you could use someone like Cam. For me, it's like, I've never had a job. I've never put any money towards Social Security or retirement. Like, I should probably figure this out. And so that's pretty helpful. But I think you can do anything. I think you can do like, you know, wealth management type stuff. If you're like looking to invest, I think there's like probably debt consolidation stuff he can help out with.

You know, it's just the guy knows his stuff. The guy knows his acronym, simply put. Here's the deal. I have negative money right now. But with Cam, I feel like the richest man in the world. It's like I know where that negative money's going. I've got four buckets that I put my negative money into it. I even had like I had an old 401.

with my old job back in the day. And like, he's like, oh, we can, we can raise, like, he didn't say, he didn't promise it, but he's like, oh, this is, this is pretty conservative. We can make this, you know, we can be more aggressive with this for sure because you have more time. And it's like, what, I need somebody else in my life thinking of those things. I'm not doing that myself. It's not to offload it.

Correct. Where you're not having to do it. Yeah, he was like, hey, it doesn't you have to be much. But if you want to invest anything, like, there are these mutual fund indexes, and I'm probably even saying that wrong because I don't know anything. But I was like, I'm fine. I have a so-fay savings account.

I'm getting 4%. And he was like, yeah, these get like 10% every year. Pretty much no matter what. And even if they don't, you're like protected if they drop. I was like,

why would everyone not do this? Right. He's a good point. They should. It's 10% return. So if you want more money than you currently have, and it's liquid too. It's like not even like,

oh, I don't, I can't touch this money for five years. It's good. Go with Cam. Go with Cam. him. Oldlinewealth.com is his website. We'll put all the info as well. He's guys, we'll give you, we'll give you everything. We'll give you a cell phone. Whatever he needs. Be real.

Yeah. He's always posted on there. His wife's work, if you want to just like make sure, like follow up with her. Yeah. If you can't get a hold of him. Yeah. But you have to sing him a song whenever you contact him, he said. Yep. It can be any cam parody you want. So anyway, he did say he's like, uh, oh shoot, where did I say it? Oh, he said my goal is to help people and find problems in someone's financial situation. So he is trying to figure out like what's going on with your own life, what's going on with

your situation. How can I best help you? Yeah, problem solving. You can tell. He just genuinely cares. So oldlinewealth.com. Check out Cam. He's the best.

Whoa, big money. Go with Cam. Oh, big money. I'll go ahead and talk about this. My kids were not here all week, but I did babysit always. week. Hmm. And his name was Miguel.

Oh, dude, this made me laugh so hard. Tell me what you told me to sit down. Oh, we got to talk about the documentary. Tell me what you told me at the documentary when we sit down next to each other. So, and I, I, I, I could talk about this for two hours. I'm not going to. We're not going to get, like, crazy into all the details. But I said, I get to the documentary.

And to be honest, like, I'm so glad I went to the documentary. Before the documentary, though, that was. was a hard day for me. I was just like, this is awful. So I asked Jake, I was like, hey, guess how many times I've called Miguel today? I said six would be a lot. That would be a lot to call someone at a day. I was like, yeah, Catherine guest, Catherine guest five. It was 49.

Holy cow. I couldn't believe that number. I kind of just like, no way. I kind of just became a crazy. I feel like he like turned me into a different kind of person. because like this guy, man, become another person. I don't know. I don't know. Like, I mean, I could tell you multiple times where I was like, I'm not really embarrassed by it, but I'm like, but it does make me look.

I want to acknowledge I was a little bit psychotic, but I'm not embarrassed by. I was like, I had it. The end of the story is the driveway is finally poured, finally on, what was it Tuesday? It finally got poured. So it took 16 days or whatever that is. Monday is when he started. Long time. next Monday, next month, 15 days.

Man, yeah. He would just not, he would not answer my phone calls, and then he would just text me. And so I'm like, no, we got to talk on the phone. And so I would just, there was times where I literally called him in a row, like 12 times until he finally answered. And then it was he saying like, oh, sorry. We should play Miguel excuse bingo, dude.

It was unbelievable. All right, wait, are the things that are possible to guess? And maybe, maybe. maybe they all happen to him. I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to say, like, he definitely is lying

about these things. I, I, I want to believe that this guy is a good guy. Like, at the end of the time, he's like,

man, I'll do it. I want to make sure, you know, I'm a good guy. I'm not lying about this stuff. I'm like, dude,

I was like, I don't trust you. Like, there were, I probably yelled at him, either in person or on the phone at least six times. Dude,

this is kind of like making me think you should be filming all this. You should get your own reality show. I don't know, Flipping out, flipping houses. Yeah, flipping out. Yeah. I put an asterisk on the, like,

I. Yeah. It looks like I'm cussing. Like, flipping out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hire him again and just hide cameras everywhere.

This guy. Like, dash cam in your car, your truck. Yeah. Oh, so many different. Yeah. See if you can guess some of them. So he says, did he use the highways in Parkville again?

a contraction up in Parkville? Yeah. I think so. At some points he definitely talked about how he's, yeah, I'm coming. There's lots of traffic. Or they're coming, they're coming from far away. Give me something with coffee. Oh, Starbucks line was long.

I got caught up at Starbucks. No, okay. Oh, sorry. I was out of phone with someone else. Yes. Oh, yeah. That one for sure. Hey, I'm trying to, and maybe this one's real.

Like, he's like, I'm trying to call people and ask him about helping me. Oh, gosh, dude. I mean, like, I literally had to treat this guy like he was a five-year-old. Yeah. Like, he's like, yes, yeah, yes. Tomorrow we will do it. But so many times the excuse was that he couldn't find people to help him. And so I'm like, okay, if we're doing it tomorrow, you need to find people now.

Right. That seems like a very common, like, understandable thing. And like, he'd be like, yes, yes. And then the next day he's like, I'm trying to call people. I just can't find anybody. I'm like, why'd you wait? Why do you wait? Why are you?

Anyway, this guy was a joke. Yeah. Calling people was definitely a thing. I was brushing my teeth. Okay. There's no express lane in Parkville yet. Yeah, no express lane excuse. No express lane. Phone died.

I didn't hear that one actually. Oh, it went good. Bad service? No bad service. I was shaving. No shaving. There was one time where he claims he was in hospital for a night. Okay. Oh, wow. And yeah, it's like, maybe you were. What's going on?

I see a doctor's note. I don't. And then he threatened. He's like, I might have to go to the hospital again. And then there was another time where he's like, hey, I was on my way, but then I threw up and I had to turn around. All right. And dude, like, I have sympathy for the guy, but also like, I started not having as much sympathy. I was like, okay, can you do it tomorrow? It gets to a point. After, call 33. After like, yeah, day... Okay, when will you be done throwing up? Yeah, after like day 11 of him not doing it, it was like, all right.

I've run out of sympathy and trust for you. Yeah, it's like, even if that is true, it's like, I think it's human nature to be like, you've taken a really long time to do this. It sucks that you're throwing up, but I'm still allowed to want the job to be done. Yeah. Oh, and then he texts me. And once again, I... Once again, I don't want to like, maybe I'm, maybe I'm mean.

Or whatever. He texts me. He's like, hey, I know this has taken a long time. But can you please send me $300? I need money for medicine. I'm like, I'm sorry, man. I said, I was like, I'm sorry, but I can't. I can't give you any more money.

Until you're done, I can't give you any more money. It's just not how business. You can't. Yeah. I don't know, money for medicine. I did tell him. Is that your job? At one point, I said, this is not how you do business.

Yeah. I was kind of lecturing him. Anyway, what else? Oh, he got stopped by the police one time. Oh, because he was throwing up while driving. T U.I. I don't know why they pulled me over. I was like, I was like, are you legal?

Are you going to jail? He's like, no, I'm not going to jail. And then he told me where he was pulled over and he was there for 45 minutes, still there, not answering his phone, whatever. And so I'm like, I'm going to come, I'm going to come see you. Oh, okay, great. Yeah. And he's like, no, no, they just let me off. Gosh.

And I was like, why did it take so long? He's like, I'm Hispanic. It takes forever. win. And I'm like, okay, all right. It takes forever. Does it? It takes, I'm not, I'm not a legal citizen. It took forever. Oh, man. I mean, yeah, so I had to, like, every time he came over to the house, I had to, like, sit there and, like, literally, like, babysit. I don't know. It was just, like, it was a mess, man. Call him on Monday. He's like, I thought it was spring break. Yeah. Come on. I'm sure there's more to it that I can't remember now, but I mean, there's just weird stuff, dude.

I don't know. It's just like, so do you think you'll hire the cheapest like worker you can find next time you need a big job done? No. Well, if I do, I'm going to make sure somebody else is used them first. That's the thing. Like Johnny was like asking me for a concrete guy. And I was like, yeah, here's this guy. And then three days into it, I was like, don't use this guy. I use this Joe. I take back my recommendation. So, but I did tell him, I was like, you know, near the end of the time, I was like, yeah, just in case, you know, or, you know, in the future, maybe we. we can work together again. I'm like, no. No, I just don't want you to. Look to the reality show cameras. No way.

So I'm sure there's more, I'm sure there's more I could have said. But yeah, eventually I just, I just got mad, man. I was just like, this is, like, I've kind of like, not turning on leaf, new leaf, but I'm like not afraid of confrontation at all anymore. Bring it on.

It's changed you a little bit. It kind of did. It was kind of like, like, I don't, it's just like with my kids. I'm like, I don't want to yell, but I can if I have to. Yeah. You know?

Like, I tell that to, Bow and Hattie all the time. I can have fun and I can be a fun person or I have to be a strict person. What do you want for me? And no one gets medicine. Oh, dude, that's another thing. This is great. I told my dad this.

My dad loved it. So the whole way concrete stuff works is like basically he is like, you know, demolishing the driveway and then he gets it all set up and ready and everything. And then they order concrete from a large like company that, comes with like one of those big concrete mixers and pours it in there. And then they evened out and stuff. And so it's Saturday. And he's, you know, working, like getting everything set up and getting it already and stuff.

Says it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, concrete's coming. They should be here soon. Yeah, yeah, I got guys. There should be here soon. They're at Panda Express right now. Okay. That's pretty good. That's pretty specific lie if it's a lie.

Okay. Pan Express right down the street. Okay. Do you mean? Right now. Chalmain doesn't get served on Saturday. Nice try. No. So then, like, I am literally, dude, like he gets in his truck because it's kind of cold and he's like waiting on the concrete people. He gets in his truck and I'm like, he better not leave. So I go and get in my truck. We're both just sitting there in the driveway. I'm just like waiting for him or in the street.

You're having any engines. I'm telling you, I turn into like a stalker crazy. Like, I'm glad that I don't have like, you know, an ex-girlfriend that I would like stock. I hope I didn't pour concrete for you. I wouldn't if I were you. So anyway, after like 30, 45 minutes, he gets out of his truck and he comes and shows, I'm like, where are they? What's going on? That you said they would be here soon. They said they were three minutes away. Why aren't they here yet? You know, all this different stuff. And he's like, I got an email that says the concrete, they canceled on me. And I know how to sniff out a bad email with the best of them, Jake. And so I'm like, first of all, the email. Give me a screenshot. The email didn't have a subject. It was a no subject email. And it didn't look like it was a three. read at all. Good thing he opened it. And I said, I said, show me, show me the email address of this person. Yeah. Like what, it's just, it looked like a woman's name. Cania Delgado is her name. Okay. And it's like, show me the email. It's something, something at iCloud.com. I was like, I don't think, I don't think this is how the concrete people are communicating. I, I don't, I don't know, man. I don't think this is real. He's like, no, no, this is real. This is the people that's what

they said. They said this to me. And I was like, whatever, man. I look this girl up. Can't find her anywhere. And then, dude, as he's like finishing up the job the other day, he's like, hey, by the way, my cousin's with me, my cousin's with me, uh, she does tree trimming. She wants me to give you her card. Frickin Kenia Delgado on her card. Like, are you an idiot? Your tree trimmer sent in concrete emails. Yeah. By the way, no subject in him. Yeah. I was like, you're, you're killing me. Yeah. And I didn't confront him about, I was like, whatever, man. You, whatever. But that is so easy. I mean, come on.

At least make it a little bit more believable. It was like he said, like, hey, can you please send me an email that says we can't deliver the concrete today so I can leave because this guy is in his truck ready to follow me home. Why is this guy is a skeeby little perv? Why doesn't he do the job? That's what I'm saying is like maybe this guy, maybe he got, maybe had bad luck. Maybe he was really sick.

Maybe all these different things. But I'm like, or maybe he's just bad at what he does. It sounds like it's possible. this is his first concrete job. And he's like, I can't believe this guy hired me to do concrete. All right, I got 10 days to figure out how to do concrete. All right. Okay.

Day 12, I have not figured it out yet. Is it with a K or a C? I think it's a C. Yeah, I mean, it would be like if you hired me to do your concrete. Like, all right. You would have done a better job, Jake. Let me piece this together, I guess. You would have done a better job.

I'm going to need some fake emails to buy me some time. You would have found some people faster than he would have. And that's what got me so mad at one day is like, I'm going to need some medicine. We had, do it. We had great weather on, I think it was like, yeah. Hey, FYI, Sudafet ain't cheap. I can do it, but I'm going to need some robinussing.

Yeah. Just went to Pindexpress. I need some tums. I get out and I'm surveying it. Yeah, I could do it. I'm going to need some diabetes. Deposit. I'll take some insulin, but I can do it by Saturday.

Oh, man. The medicine is so funny to me. I'm hung up on the medicine. Like, dude, I ask you to pour concrete. I don't, we don't, we don't, we don't, we don't, we gave them a deposit and then I gave more money and then I bought the rental and then I paid for the material. I mean, it's just like, dude, I've given you enough money. You should, whatever. What was I say? Anyway, it's funny. It's like most of the time when you get paid for something, you don't be like, thank you. I'm going to use this for specifically my electric bill. Like specifically. Yeah. I need money for gas for heating my home. I don't know. Dude, there were, uh, Tread had that happen. A girl who was kind of our, the first stand up comedy tour we did. We had tour manager Tom for all of it. And then he got pulled to Adam Sandler's tour just the last two weeks. So just like a few shows.

And then the special, we had this other girl managing. She was terrible. And yeah, did not do a good job. Stress us all out the night of the special. But then like a week, no, probably a month later after the tour is overall back home. She puts all of us in a group text and shows us her like before and after renovated kitchen. And she's like, thanks, Trey for the money. I was able to renovate my kitchen.

I was like, oh, that's kind of funny. Yeah. Like, what if over the last four? years. I had sent Trey every single purchase I had done. Dude, thanks. Thanks for the money. This is a tree house in Arkansas. I just doesn't cross my mind to like show where the employment is going. I want you to start doing this. I should. Yeah. Take a picture. Your milkshake. Me like, thanks boys. Thanks guys. Means a lot. Baggy jeans. Thanks guys. Thanks guys. Bet you didn't see that one coming. Yeah, man. Anyway, this guy's something else.

I don't know. I could tell, I could tell more, but some of them are kind of wild stories that I'm like, I don't know. This is almost off the podcast stories. Wow, there's like plenty more. You're holding back. There's a few more. Yeah, there's a few more that are like, ah, I don't know. Oh, that's crazy. 49 phone calls.

Yeah, dude. And it like the next, it was like that multiple days where I was just like, he didn't answer. I pressed in and I just called him again. Oh, no problem. I have unlimited calls with my plan. Because that's the crazy thing is that he was on his phone all the, every time I saw him. He was always talking to somebody on the phone. Yeah.

It's not like you're away. from your phone. Anyway. You ever seen the terminal? I can't remember. Yeah, but not since it came out. Okay. Yeah.

Tom Hanks, when he figures out a way to help his friend get his, like, medicine needs. He's like, he'd been reading the laws of aviation and the FCC.

Medicine for goat. Medicine for goat. That's all I keep thinking of was like he needs this medicine. And then, oh, that guy, what's his name? The bald guy,

Stanley, Tucci, whatever. Oh, he does not like that. Wait, I don't remember this. Tell me more of the context of this? It's basically, Basically, Tom Hanks is trying to help his friend who's like a foreigner get medicine into the United States that he needs. But they're going to like, the TSA is trying to keep it from him. And Tom Hanks knows the rules.

Like, if this is medicine for an animal, it can go in even if you're not a U.S. citizen. So he like stands up for his friend and it's like, medicine for goat. And then he's like, oh, it gets it in. And the guy in charge of the airport hates that he got through. But then it's probably the funniest part of the movie. He's like, you know, I can't believe you read the rules, whatever. and Tom Hanks is like, he loved that goat. He loved that goat.

So maybe Miguel had a medicine for goat. Maybe it was one of those situations. He was helping out as foreigner buddy. Could be. Golly. All right. Let's go ahead and talk about Main Street Roasters. Yeah.

Do you mind if I do, Tymon? Yes. Oh, no, I would prefer it. Great. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, it's coffee. Yeah.

It's in, it normally comes in these bags. But yeah, you can get them in K-cups if you want. Yeah. normally you don't you don't just do this you don't eat it from the bag like I'm about to do but you know what sometimes if they pay you enough money you'll do whatever you want for so I'm going to open this up sponsor of the entire show the last time I opened up one of these bags I lost the beans I spilled the beans everywhere is that in public like five years ago yeah how many beans do I eat right now one one one one

I love Mery Rover. Oh, wow. I will, yeah. Need some milk and sugar? Are you all good? It's in my mouth, dog. Got Mainsree Roosers in my mouth, dog. Southern Percon pie in my mouth, dog.

It's so good. Wow. And it's 10% off. That's hot coffee. Like, that right there was free. Yeah. The rest of it I might have paid for, but that right there is free.

Yeah, Brad is ate 10% of a bag, which is exactly how much you're going to get off. your purchase. And no maximum order either. No limit per customer, no, none of that coupon crap, no. This will get you going, boy. You could buy $1,000 worth of major oysters

and only have to pay $900 worth. That's a simple math. So think about that. Yeah, I'll raise you. Oh, that was a strong, that was a strong swallow. You got bean stuck? That's so good.

Jack and the bean stuck. Yeah, if you can't, if you don't have time, I don't want to hear anybody be like, I don't have time for coffee in the morning. Just, I just, I just proved you. you do. Eat the bean. It took you five seconds to unwrap, three seconds to shove it into your mouth.

About 34 seconds to actually chew it off. So you get your money's worth that. Yeah, but that's the part you want to last a little while. That's right. Man, that was a mouthful of beans. Yeah, you said one. I was like, come on. Live a little. It was a setup. One would be crazy. One would be plenty, I think, to get the point across. For sure, dude. Sure they don't do it again. However you take your coffee. straight bean or with a little cream and sugar in a liquid container. Get it at mageouristers.com. They've been so good to us. We would love if you would support them.

Thanks in advance. Anyway, so I'm done with that. So now I'm just focusing on all the small details. What do you notice when you go to an Airbnb? When I go to an Airbnb or what do you care about? What are your things that you're like, oh, man, that was good or that was not good? The first thing you notice are if things are not there. Like if there's not soap or body washer,

It's like those are things I come to expect. Okay. Tell me. Tell me. Towels. When there's, do you like it just like free flowing, like a bottle of shampoo or do you like the pump? I like it affixed.

Okay, good. I like that. It feels like a luxury. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, oh, this is, this is a pump on the wall? I agree. Yeah.

Pump it up. You've got a pump it up. Be like a Bluetooth speaker in there so you can pump with it. I think that's nice. Okay. Towels, you said. Don't cheap on toilet. paper. Oh, okay. Yeah.

It would be high end. Let's go medium end for my bottom end. Medium end. Yeah. That's what I always say. And then what else? I mean, you got to have a binder. You like a binder? I'll look through a binder. Are you a binder more than the QR code guy? I'm a binder guy. Okay, you want the physical loose leaf. And really all that is, it's just like, it's less digging around the Airbnb app to try and remind myself what the check in rule or the checkout rules are.

I just like, oh, I can easily look through here. That's where the Wi-Fi is. Got it. No problem. The, like, suggested restaurants is to I've never really taken part in, like, the, like, local, local spots, local hubs. Sure. But, yeah, Wi-Fi and checkout rolls are nice. Should I, like, almost troll in that section and, like, only say, like, places that are everywhere? Local spots. It's just Starbucks.

It's Alice goes to creations and Friday pickleball. These are the two I would recommend. I mean, there's. There's so many things around this house, but, like, do I just say Starbucks? McDonald's. Little Caesars. smoothie king. Smoothie king.

What else is around there? It's just like... Planet Fitness. That's pretty funny. Great pizza spot on Fridays. Planet Fitness. Whenever they do the pizza thing. Ooh, coffee spot?

Library. Go there. Yeah. What else do I look for? I don't know. I think just clean and... Yeah. It's almost like as long as it's not

completely out of the ordinary, it's not... Yeah, just be cool. Because that's what I'm way... I'm to the point. It's just like anything. It's just like stand-up comedy. It's just like YouTube thumbnails,

whatever you want to put in the blank. I am at that point where I'm overthinking things. Like, what kind of artwork? I kind of like these cowboys, but like, is that too manly? It's like,

I don't think, I don't think any girl or people are going to even notice this stuff. Or like, they're not going to book because of this, you know? Yeah. I would notice it if it was like really cringe, like,

uh, yes. You can be inappropriate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just saying like some art. Yeah. No, yeah. No, I did. You've seen some? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, whatever. I'm not going to get to. But if it's some cheesy quote like, if you could be in the world, be Batman, always be Batman. There's like some quote like that that I've seen somewhere before. Okay. Don't put that up. See, that's the thing. Like, I'm like, I don't want to be too generic. I don't want to just be like these like neutral artwork everywhere. But I also don't want to be tacky. Is there a theme? Because I know you love the American. America and Southwest is one of your favorite regions. Have you considered doing that? My favorite regions?

That's so stupid. No. It's not a cool. No, not really. I have, this is new, new information,

but I have, like, decided I'm going to have, like, Easter eggs for Ghostrunners listeners to go. You are? Yeah, I'm going to have,

like, like, if, I want to be, like, almost like a tourist attraction for ghosties, like, okay,

there's like a, like a secret scavenger hunt that you can do. And, like, secret this. And, like, you know, I'm just going to have little things like that.

but I'm not going to put up ghosts on the wall. You know, like, that's too much. Runners. It would scare the residents. I have thought about like, spooky. Like, I think I'm going to print off the t-shirt design, wake up and smell the horses.

I'm going to put that next to the coffee. Wake up and smell the horses. That's good-looking design. I like that. Good-looking design. Cowboy. Fun. I do like in the cowboy theme,

I feel like I've seen this at a couple of homes now. Maybe it's kind of basic. I don't mind it. Just a framed photo of a cow. Do I love? You know what I'm talking about? Oh, those are everywhere. I love it.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was looking at Buffalo yesterday. That's great, too. That looks pretty nice. Yeah. Yeah, like a high or like a highland cow.

That's super, super shaggy cows are great. I think those were everywhere. Bo's got a big old longhorn in his room. That's great too. Yeah. Cows are in. Yeah, but they're almost,

I feel like they're almost out. That's why it's like maybe it is too common now. I know. It's been. Several years been cow. But, like, is that too manly? Is that too bitch? Because it's like, yeah.

We're all like, yeah, dude. Yeah. Put a big old cow in there, dude. Wow, what's a more female? Taxidermy cow in the living room. Bovine. Yeah. Lama. Lomas, I feel like, are played out. People love, save the drama for your llama. Oh, yeah.

Maybe I just, like, maybe I just, like, go oversaturated and just, like, ridiculous things like that. A lot of animals. Just, like, super cheesy, super everything. Anyway, that's kind of the point where I'm at right now. It's like, how do I? what kind of decorations I do here, huh? How soon is that going to be able to rent? Hopefully soon.

I mean, the... That's going to be nice. The issue for a long time was this driveway. Because I have to get it refinanced, basically. And they have to appraise it, and they're not going to appraise it very high if the driveway is completely demolished. So that's going to happen next week,

and then from there, it should be ready pretty soon. So if anybody wants to, you know, rent it forever. Cool. Wait, could it be available when our... ghost he comes to town? Oh, yeah, for sure. That can be fun if she's interested. Or we can, yeah, that'd be awesome.

I talked to Zach about, oh gosh, I'm probably giving away another secret. No, no, I think I know with this. Yeah. I was like, dude, if you want to like use this and it's free, like, feel free sometime. I want you and your friends to stay here. And he's like, you know, whatever, he's got such a love boy.

When his Canadian, the Canadian boy's coming to town. Yeah, Curtis and. Curtis and friends are coming first week in April. First week in April. Maybe you guys are a guinea pig. That would be super fun. Yeah. I'm watching the NCAA tournament over there today with Tate.

Oh, that's fun. Just going over there hanging out. Dude, this shows how just, I don't know what the word is, obsessed or just overwhelmed everything with pickleball is. Haven't thought about it. I filled out my bracket five minutes before we came over here while I was shaving. At least you filled one out. I know, but I mean, I.

had to be reminded like three times. Like you need to, okay, so this is bad too. ESPN has this thing that's like, want to do a quick bracket based on ESPN analytics. Okay. Yep, sure. I mean, I just like, I don't know. I don't know what that says about me.

So you just like auto filled in a bracket. And then I made, what's the point? I made a few adjustments. I don't know. I guess it gives me something to root forward. The coups are doing this like, you know, thing. You know,

so it's like, I'm in a group. I don't hate if it like, it's like, yeah, obviously Duke is, you probably want Duke to go to the sweet 60. It's like, yeah, I do. Yeah. Yeah, I still made some of my own picks, but.

Do you have any... I'm just heads in the clouds. Do you remember any upsets? Any predictions, since this is going to come out after all that happened anyway? Oh, you know, I pick a couple 11 seeds to win some games. And, you know, I think I picked a 9, a 10 seed to beat a 2 seed or whatever that upset is, you know, in the Sweet 16. Okay. That's pretty good.

You know. Timmy, let's play this game. All right. This is like a, this is a wager game. So technically Jake is brokering it because I'm a dicking. But here's how it works. You can stop at any time. Okay.

Okay. It's like bank. But you get a chant. You can. So what we're talking about right now is the NCAA basketball tournament. Gotcha. There's 68 teams. Okay.

Good amount. You can, if you can tell me a team that's in the tournament, you get a dollar. Okay. Like a college. If you can tell me another team that's in the tournament, you get $2. You can go as long as you want, and you can stop whenever you want. And that's how many dollars you get. But if you get any wrong, you're out.

This is so bad. I mean, they're just colleges. Just name some colleges that would be in the top 68. I feel like. Wait, do you want to stop now? The team. Yeah, do you want to stop it zero? The team name would just be the college name?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't have to name the mascot. Just like the name of the college. Just like, yeah. Okay. Like mid-American Nazarene University. Johnson County Community College. Yeah.

That would also work. Grayden really likes the Oklahoma. City Thunder? Okay. Are they in that? Okay, negative one dollar. So that's not at a university, that's a professional team. Okay.

Do you know any college? I don't know. There's a local college in town that is playing. Okay. Okay. So it's like, I didn't go to college. Okay, I don't know the difference in a college in a town. Maybe we should say, I'm just name a college.

Wait, okay. Do you know college? It is or is not colleges. It is. It is. It is. It is the 68 different universities. Oklahoma City Thunder is just like an NBA team.

That's a city. I understand now. Got it. Should have put city in the name. So I could have gotten that. Like, I think I probably know some, but I truly can't think of anything right now. Okay. Okay.

I don't know. Zero dollars. No, no, no. Dude. We'll help you. Go back to when you interviewed some people at the Sprint Center or the T-Mobile Center for Big 12th day. Who is even there? Do you remember who you said?

You were like, do you know this guy? Do you know Bill Self? Oh, BYU. You, number one. Very good. One dollar. Would you like to... Because they have that kid, AJ.

who we in. Very good. Okay. Okay. AJ. He's a lean score in all of college basketball. Fun fact. That's pretty cool. Yeah. I was a few feet from him. Um, he's so tall. He's so tall. He's so tall. A few feet from. Do you remember? Oh, well, Bill Self, that's, that's KU. That's right. Two dollars. Two dollars. You're going to press your luck. Yeah. Kay State would be involved. Ah, damn. You're out. They're out. They didn't make it. You have to, you have to, like, be eligible for it. That is a college, though. I see. Yeah. So I just lost the two, right? Yeah. You are out.

So you owe us $2. Okay. Expecting in the mail. I was thinking like, man, maybe what if we just doubled it every time? Like $1 goes to $4 to 8? I was like, no, timing can make a lot of money that way. I see.

So K-State, just not good enough. They're not good. Basketball? Correct. This is funny. They're pretty good football, though, right? Yeah. Okay.

Those viral rails where it's like, name a woman. And suddenly you just can't think of one. Yeah. Because I'm sure if we just, like, rattle off some of these, you're like, oh, yeah. I know colleges. Duh. Like if I say Arizona.

Arizona. I mean, oh, like that, yeah. Yeah. No, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I obviously. I mean, most of them are just states. Arizona, Arkansas, Texas. I see. Missouri. A state college. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a lot of them are Michigan, Georgia. It's a lot of Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia. You can't expect me to think of states. Illinois. I mean, there's like 20 states. Wow. Nebraska. Now you know, if you get in this exact same scenario. Great. It's easier than you think. Just name, name from states. How about this? Let's do a few acrony, or whatever you would call it, like abbreviations for state,

or colleges. Yeah, UCLA. This one's to, all right. We started, we've started to tell you. We've talked about this before. I need to learn. I know this has been on the podcast. Have we talked about UCLA before? Yes. Okay. It was when he was visiting there, and we were like, hey, do you see the suburbs or UCLA?

University of the city of L.A. University of the city of L.A. University of the city of L. You're close. University of California, Los Angeles. Interesting. Because there's like all these universities. You see Berkeley. Yeah.

You see Irvine. All right. Let's do one that's even harder. TCU. That one is hard. C. C. What does the C mean?

Last time it was California. This time it's not. It's the opposite of California. I was going to say, okay. Texas. Yeah. Yep. Opposite of California.

They're not like this there. country uh texas country university uh no it's a good guess i is not a very good good thing

got Texas christian um let's go I got one of the hopper that will be the hardest one really we'll say that for later

HBCU honey butter chicken you nailed it uh what other ones are there let's see I'll get you you've got two right answers here.

MSU. Missouri State University? That was not one of the two, but that's ding, ding, ding, ding. Not in the tournament, though. Who's the second one? I was going to say, well, I mean, just colleges in general. Michigan State is in it. I was going to say Michigan.

Minnesota? Yeah. What about what's, what's Vandy short for? Dandy. I don't know. That doesn't ring any. Van, Vancouver. Vanderbilt.

VanCover. Vancouver State. It is funny, like, how much we know about this stuff. And honestly, a lot of it's probably because of the brackets. It's like being a middle school boy, getting inundated with all these colleges. Like Holy Cross. You know, like there's like these like small schools. Hofstra?

Yeah. I know about Hofstra. Why do I know about? Yeah. I'll tell you the one that. Everyone knows about this because of March Madness. I UPUI. Oh, yeah.

There's a lot of schools like that probably. St. Mary. Yeah. Never heard of it. George Mason. Yep. Yeah. There's like if they win a game, it's a big deal.

Davidson had never heard of Davidson before. Here's a new one I've never heard of. Queens, but North Carolina. Here's what I'm learning about Queens. They're about to be absorbed into Elon University. Oh, yeah. I heard a joke about like, yeah, it's like Starlink or something. I was going to say, you're some good jokes here.

All right, timing, here's one you could probably get just off of just educated guess. UCF. He said C was country. Yeah, the C's kind of give them trouble, actually. UCF. UCF. UCF. UCF.

UCF. Johnny. Oh, Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny, Yuce. Hey, I put it on my bracket and, uh, how can you win it at all? Uh, university.

University. What's the F? Florida is, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Which part of Florida? Which part? Yeah, which part? Country.

Yeah, I don't, is there even, like, is it a city in Florida that just has a C name? No, no, no, no, no. Which part of the top? Which part of Florida is that in? The bottom. Not the right or the left. smack dab in the middle Chapab in the kittle

Kittal University it's of the community of Florida The community of Florida Right in the middle It's a retirement community It's their team What would the C be?

It's like not Center Central Florida Central Florida Good What about USF What do you think that one could be? Southern University of Southern Florida

University of Southern Florida See timing You could have made so much money This is easier than you thought I'm nailing it you know what's crazy like I don't know this was probably five years ago I mean I talked about the podcast back in the day but I remember my dad was like like a couple days into the tournament he's like I bet you I could name every single team in the

tournament from scratch right now really I was like no you couldn't I think we bet like 10 bucks and I think he nailed it like didn't forget one and it wasn't like he knew like one versus 16 I think he like I said like he knows where all the universities are so he's like going through the list like on a map on his head that's a impressive. So. Anyway, I could not do that.

It's that time of year, though. It's a fun time. Is that time? We're going to do a bracket in Wednesday's episode. I'm excited. Tiss the season. March Madness season. Tis tis.

I have two things to say. Okay. And I'm going to say them in order of which comes first. Okay. Based on how I'm going to say them. Okay. First thing is that I have found myself talking about cozy earth sheets a lot off the podcast. I talk about it more off the podcast.

they do on the podcast. That's what you call organic ad reads. That's what you call viscose from bamboo. Ad reads. Ad reads. Yeah. No, our friends, Kyle and Ashley were talking about bed sheets. What Kyle was talking about is like, he's like, this is kind of weird.

Do you guys is like, I got rough feet? You guys feed ever like snagged? Your feet ever get snagged on the on the bed sheets? I was like, no. I don't care how rough your feet are. What do you have hooves? Well, that was BC before cozy. Before cozy.

Yeah. Yeah, and I was like, truly, like, it's got to sound weird. It's got to sound sales aches. I'm like, I have a 20% off code for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I really would encourage you to like buy these sheets. And today I get on Facebook.com, what do I see? Rachel Buckles says, I was a winner of the cozy earth bed sheets from like the

Healing Waters. Giveaway we did. Let me tell you, they are worth the hype. Two weeks postpartum, I have never been more in love with a pair of sheets in my life. It feels like a vacation to crawl back into bed in the middle of the night. Yes. If you were on the fence about getting a pair, just do it. Thank you, Jake and Brad.

So I said that to Kyle. I was like, and you notice how she mentioned nothing about like her toes bleeding? No, yeah. She's just fine. You have a problem. Get rid of it. Yes. It's such an easy recommendation.

Yes. And I do it off the podcast. So the sheets are probably biggest priority. Or just like those will change your life the most. I think they're going to change your life the most and you're going to use them the most, obviously. Like that's the nicest thing. From what I saw on this like micropole. plastics, documentary.

This goes from bamboo, I'm pretty sure is like, you know, an organic, like, choice. Like, you know, if you're going to spend a third of your life in it. You'd want that. Bamboo is your friend. Cozyert.com slash gosters, promo code's GRKC. Check them out, 20% off all sorts of cozy stuff. Yeah. Go there.

Cozy stuff. Go there. Go there. Before I forget, let's talk about the documentary. Nathan Coley, the documentary is out. Exactly one year later after we filmed it. Yep. We had the premiere.

with the live viewing and response has been great. Oh yeah. Coley's got to feel good. Yeah, you could tell he was feeling it. He was beforehand on Friday when we went, it was a Friday?

We went and watched it at the coffee show. He was like, I don't know how you guys do this live events, man. I'm so nervous. Yeah, I think he was like also just like kind of exhausted like having to be on talking to people. He was like,

this is a lot. How do you guys ever, you know? Yeah, he was on two hours. I was going to say, come to learn. He hadn't slept at all. I was like, well,

yeah, you're going to be like kind of wired. But it was awesome. You went crazy. Yes. I did. Say one thing about it. How was it in your experiences, boys, as video editors?

Did you, do you think about that a lot throughout the whole thing? Yeah. I didn't until I didn't just now. And I was like, oh, I bet I should have looked at it through that lens more. Yeah. I sent him like a follow up message of just like all the things I appreciated and things that I knew had to take forever. Just like, so, you know, Koli, he interviews us too.

He interviews time in. He interviews 14 other different ghostsies. So he's got a lot of interview footage footage already. to piece together. But on top of that, what impressed me was like, some ghosty would be talking about, like, I loved that Jake and Brad, you know, they don't want to say my buddy the other day.

They mentioned their friends first and last names, and then Colie would go and show exact examples of us doing that. That's the kind of stuff that's like, that had to take some of time. You didn't have to do that, but like, and some of those were episodes before we even videoed it. It'd be like episode four, and we're saying Gunner Duckworth at Peter Casey,

and like there's footage of that. Yeah, really. Yeah, he had to like scrub through that. They were like, yeah. Maybe there's a way to search it. You know, transcribing it either way still to have to go find it. I was like that really impressed me. And also just like, I feel like it flowed really well, which is not a given.

It's not the easiest thing in the world that like it would, yeah, just flowed really well together. Yeah. I loved whenever it would be like some new topic would be brought up. And it was just that classic like great documentary of like this person's mentioning their thing about it. Like it was like. Yes.

It was so good. It was just like this is like I'm watching a documentary. Which I think shows good pre-production work. Like you have questions and sections. kind of already in mind that way you can get your interview people to say what you want them to say that's a good point in a sense um really liked the uh there were a few like really sequences i enjoyed i'm trying to remember them now um anything with the ghosty gateway that was at the end i really enjoyed that just because it is the most fun thing we do we'll talk about that later i enjoyed the jingle sequence that was very fun i don't know if it made time it was uncomfortable but i

really enjoyed it yeah it was like a little i don't know just like it's all it was like became all about me for a second. I was like, ah, we don't have to do it. Oh, yeah. But it was kind of a cool segment. Like, mouse in the house, instrumental was like playing in the background. That was sweet. Yeah, that was fun. It was pretty fun. That was the thing I remember the most about. Yeah, that segment where it's like, yeah, the instrumental of us just like dancing along with it and all that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was great. He like dissected the whole smell of horses thing. I mean, just so many. That is a great cliff. Yeah. Just like Rachel's reaction, all of our reactions, so instantly to the horses thing is great.

There were a few people there that like, they're like, yeah, we're just here with our friends or we're here with their, you know. Yeah, shout out Laura, I think. Because it's one thing, you know, we give people a hard time, you know, maybe Isaac Brace or, you know, people who come on these trips

and don't even listen to the podcast. But there was one girl who came to the documentary and, like, had no clue what was going on. I remember, like, I showed her Amish jams last night. It was kind of funny. It wasn't like they came from down the street either. They were from Paola. It's like, okay.

And there works to be going far away. Clay Zimmerman was there. Yeah, that was awesome. Elizabeth Virgil, Colorado, Minnesota. Who else? We had some people from Stratford area. Don't tell me, I'm going to figure it out. I don't remember it's Stratford area.

Oh, yeah, you do. It's not Stratford. It's Springfield-ish. Don't say it, Jake. Marshfield. Oh, yes. A girl that I met on Christmas Eve, golfing with my dad. I was like, you familiar.

She's like, yeah, I saw you golfing in Marshfield. I was like, that's you? Oh. Oh, no wonder. Yeah, that's so funny that, yeah, I saw you again. Yeah, two people from Marshfield. We had a baby there. Had a baby.

Shout out, Paige and Christian. That one girl. Sophia? It was a name like that. Yeah, Sophia. Is that her name? Yeah. From Kentucky, I think, maybe.

Illinois. Yeah. Illinois. Illinois. Same thing. I enjoyed her car. She's a- She's a volleyball girl, and she's like, she's a volleyball girl, and she's like,

I cannot tell you how much the episode of you breaking down the final four meant to me. She's like, everything you were talking about were things that I I also know. She's like the monster block. Yeah. It'll be crazy. She's like the Kentucky mascot. I hated that guy too.

Everything you said, I was like, that's great. It's great that you saw it as well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was just fun to hang out and Coley did such a good. I was expecting it to be a 32 minute long documentary. Yeah.

And it was twice that, I think. Yeah. He did awesome. And yeah, I don't know how much we can say thank you to him. But pretty crazy. My dad, we had dinner. I had dinner with my parents a couple nights ago. My dad was like,

how about that, how about that film the other night, huh? I was like, yeah, it was amazing. It was good. It was good to see your parents and Aunt Cindy. Yep, yeah. I was giving our time, but I was like, we don't talk anymore. I got my own cell plan. I don't talk to you anymore.

And I was joking with it. Like, we should bundle our health insurance. And so, no, no, we have a good inside joke. That's awesome. But yeah, I did think, Cole. I was like, you've given us a fun gift like forever. We'll always have this documentary made about us. Crazy, man.

So, yeah, he did a good job. It was great. It was a great night. So fun. Lots of ghosties came. There was a perfect spot for it because it was like, it was full, but it wasn't, you know, insanely like packed, you know. Yeah, we packed the house.

Packed the small house. Yeah. So, yeah, anyway, Coley just did awesome. Shout with Coley. The clip I want to see, maybe I should have him like break this or like chop this up so we could post it to Instagram or something. But we are trying to describe timing. And I was like, shoot, what is that word when you're like really well rounded? You said fat.

And I said, he's a fat guy. Yeah, people like that. Yeah, that was probably the hardest, like, laugh or, like, pop of the night. Yeah. That was great. Good times. Good times. Cool, but real quick, should we talk, Gulf Shores?

Yes. So first, yeah, Brad, tell them, tell them what's happened behind closed doors. Okay. The day of the documentary in the last six days. It was kind of, excuse me for saying this word, Kismet. Kismet. I think I know what that word means. It was like, it was like great timing, basically.

Like perfect timing. meant to be, basically. We released the Ghostrunners Getaway availability to the returners on Friday, the same day that all these people up north got like a foot and a half of snow. Oh, that's why the timing's so good. They're like, get me out of here. And so immediately Clay and Katrina Zinerman are like, yeah, we're going. Kismet, do I get it right, timing?

Yeah. Destiny, fate. What chance did I stand against Kismet? Yeah. It was just a nasty winter. day. It's like, hey, who wants to go to the beach? And so, yeah, just great, wonderful news. We have completely, no, not completely, completely sold out of session one, I believe. And then almost sold out of a session two already before even like going to the public. I got to the

documentary and ghosties were telling me, they're like, yeah, session one sold out. I was like, what? Yeah. That's news to me. Insanity. I mean, like, immediately, like, it was just, it was awesome, but also like, oh. Yeah, it's like obviously how, what a cool testament to how fun this trip is that we can sell it out just with repeat. And somebody was like, you guys, you guys should just do something with like a hundred. You should get another house and just do like a hundred people. I was like, yeah, but then that takes away from the. We like the amount we have. Because when I saw Clay at the premiere, man, like I gave him a hug. Like a bear. A genuine hug. You know what I mean? Like, like, man, we know we know each other. We've pickled together. Yeah. Um, we, you know, we played Spotify,

you know, music games. He's like, I got it ready. I'm ready. I'm ready to go for this year. You know, Clay. He's just like so excited.

I'm ready to go. A lot of, a lot of, yeah. But yeah, it's kind of crazy. But it's also like, well,

shoot, I know so many ghostsies would like to do this. Yes. I don't know what we do. I mean, I've thought about like, do we just extend it?

Do we just like go another, like a second week? I was joking with Hannah. Warner. I said, I'll die on that beach. I said, if we, if we need to do eight straight weeks, I'll, I'll die on, in Gulf Shores. Call it, yeah, 40 days, 40 nights. Beach fast. We don't either drink. We only drink salt water and. Beach fast. The thing is, well, that, we would have to, like, probably change houses or something. I feel like that house is always so booked. I was like, let me look at this, the pearl. Because, yeah, normal, like,

that's where I booked it literally as I was leaving last year. I was like, we're booking for next year. And I'm I'm glad you did because it always fills up so fast. Let's see. Yeah, that would be a... Session 1 and 2 is in Gulf Shores. Session 3 is in Stratford. So get it all you can. No, dude.

No way. Wait, wait, wait. Okay, okay. Is there a chance? I want to double check this. Okay, so it is currently one... Dude, okay. So it is booked up every week for seven months,

the next seven months, except for the week right after ours. August 27. Correctly following session one and two, it's available. Yeah. But that's the only time. Like September is completely... Yeah.

Destiny or faith. September's completely booked. October is almost completely booked. And it's completely booked until that day. So we could do late October. Yeah, we could. A week after we're already going. Those are two good options.

Dude, that is crazy, though. That's something we need to book right now. I say we'd go for it. Can you book it from your phone? Sure. Put down like a just, uh, nine grand deposit real quick. No problem.

No problem. You paid for my engagement rate. Money is the same thing. Money's not tight right now. Dude, even if it's like halfway booked, I think that's worth it. Because I do feel like, yeah, it's so excited to have all the returners come. But it's also like, man, I miss. Like last, there are people that came for the first time last year that are coming back

this year. It's like, I don't want to lose that opportunity for people. let's freaking do it, dude. I think we send it. And is this something that you should run by Catherine and the four kids that you look after? Or you think this is... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

I'm going to voice to text. Got it. Call them the nickname you were telling me you've been calling her anything. Hey, Sugar Mama. And then give yourself the nickname you would tell us it. It's white chocolate. Period.

Period. That's the funniest part. kind of crazy comma but we are recording the podcast right now and it's totally kismet it's totally kismet dot dot dot the only week available for the next seven months is the week right after ours for gulf shores period i think we may book a second week and see if we can do a third session period maybe you and the kids could even come for something, question mark. We could figure out child care and whatnot. I'm losing it a little bit.

Pause, whew. White chocolate got flustered, period. Bring Kismet back into it. I really do think this is Kismet, comma. And I don't take lightly how much of, An extra load, this would be for you, comma. But would you consider it and let me know in the next five to ten minutes? Love you, ex-facial point.

I think you hit the kismet very solidly. I think that's good. Yeah. Okay. Good. It's white chocolate, period. What's your name? You and Midge.

You guys have one yet? Oh, yeah. What do you guys call each other? Is it still kind of early to the game? I don't know. We're trying to, we're trying to, we're trying a few. Smart. Got to workshop them. Yeah.

Like, Big T is, is like the baseline, which feels, it's weird because also my, like, guy friends call me that. Big T. They do. But it's like, you know, Big T. It's kind of nice. Yeah. What about names for her? I don't, don't say big.

I don't want to risk anything besides Mitch. I feel like we have something. You got, you got, you got to lose that. I think we have something so strong that changing a name. name would throw it all off. Yeah. I know you got names. Pride color, a little squirrel or something.

Keep it to yourself. Yeah, just it's not. Okay, that is crazy, though. And quite kismet. So, she's texting back. Session three, now we would just have,

I think doing four sessions actually would kill us, but I think three is possible. We just need to think through, do we go one, two, and Emilian, into three? Did she go to the hospital, see Miguel? Or do we put a little space in there, see our families, catch up on work?

Nah, screw that. And, yeah, it's the first one. Yeah. I'm just kidding. I do think, because what if people in session two, what if somebody, who's going to be the wild person? Who's going to be the one? Who's it going to be?

It's like, give me the grand slam. It's time. Yeah, it's the grand slam, all three bases. Who's going to be the one that's like, Janelle, maybe? Janelle, if it's not you. Hannah Warner. Who's it going to be? Anyway, session one, two, and three, back to back to back?

Yeah. Yeah, we got to because I think somebody from session two might want to do session three as well. We got to think about volunteers. Some people boomeranging session one. Let me go home real quick. I'm back for session three. Sure that we don't get a boomeranger. Book it.

We'll have to iron it all out. But of course. Oh, no. We'll have to iron it all out, of course, but I think you need to go ahead and do that. Of course. I'm ironing right now. Seriously? Question mark, exclamation point? Got a... Seriously?

Seriously? So glad... So glad you could see the kismitness. So glad you can see the kismississi. Kismiddi. Crave, that didn't work. Spelling it wrong. Oh, no, it's saying, crap. It didn't work.

She said that's too easy of a yes. And that's why she shook up mama. Hmm. Three sessions. I've got several options of help I can utilize so it'll be fine. And Henry isn't an infant this time. Last time he was young and difficult. That's a good point.

Howdy's raising the younger. Give it up for Henry. Yeah. Two years old, man. Two years old. Only two. Not an infant. That's amazing.

Wow. Three sessions. Okay. So I'll say by the time that they're listening to this, it's live. Okay. All is live for everybody. Good job. Yeah.

Wow. Yeah. Third session. Why not, dude? Send it. Send it, Jerome. Yeah. Okay.

You guys gonna be okay? Oh, yeah. Great. You've got to pace yourself a little bit. That's one of the things I think I'm most proud of Jake and I for is that. week and how we say we got to pace ourselves. And we go, we are the last ones to sleep.

Yeah. I think we just have it. We just have, that's like, like I'm not, I don't think I have like stamina. I don't, I've never done 23.5.

Yeah. But like, I think I have stamina in the sense of like, I can, I can do this. Yeah. You know, we can,

we can keep, keep it up. Bring it on. Early morning pickleball, no problem. Yeah. Late night, karaoke,

no problem. Because it is fun. It's not super like energy taking to do that trip. You're around such fun people. But yeah, you just don't get much sleep. I guess we're just energized by the Holy Spirit, baby. Man, that'll be fun. That'll be cool.

So yeah, three sessions. If someone does do the Grand Slam, the trifecta, we almost need to offer them like alternative programming by the third sunset cruise. You know, it's like maybe. Or maybe they get special merch. Like we get them like personalized baseball jerseys. Yeah.

that says I hit, I hit, I had a home run with Jake and Brad. I don't think, maybe we got to pass. I got to third base with Jake and Brad. I got to third base with Jake and Brad. But we have talked about redoing some of the programming this year anyway. You know, like mixing up kind of what we've done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Easy.

So, easy. I think you'll be fine going to a water park for the third time. I mean, new slides every time. Yeah. Do the red slide for a session? You haven't tried the orange one yet? that's going to be awesome. Yeah, so check it out.

Ghostrunner. Live slash travel. Okay? That's the website. Wow. So yeah, there's very few spots open for session one, session two, but session three should be yours for the taking as you listen to this. I just realized I think my fantasy football draft is that weekend at the end of it.

So I might get home and then say, hey, Catherine, like I think we're going to do it in Kansas City. Oh, okay. I was going to say as long as it's Kansas City. Hey, Catherine. Nice to see you. I think we're going to do it with Airbnb. That's fun.

We'll figure out. All right, last but certainly not least, we have a sponsor. This guy's hilarious. I have no idea how that happened. So what I would talk about real quick? It's me from the past in 2X speed. We're going to listen to the Ghostroder's podcast real quick. That was weird, man.

That wasn't, whatever. I want to talk about good ranchers, what I was going to talk about. Okay. March meetness. March meatness. March meatness March meatness

Because we already paying for the house after session three is over. Grand Slam, part two. We hit the Grand Slam. Who knows, man? What do we do? Family come to us. Family come to us? We sub-lease it out for a few days. We'll call it arbitrage, Airbnb arbitrage. You heard that? That's what Brady Clayton does.

Do you see his new business? Mm-mm. I saw he posted it. I think it'll do well. I mean, he's a smart guy. He was like a couple years ago, my wife and I just kind of realized we were on set or we had some wedding or whatever. You can, oh wait, Timon, what's that weird name you have for like a bathroom trailer? A five banger? Yeah, that's what it is. Five banger is a big one. He just getting into the five banger business. He's getting into the five banger business. Basically, he and his wife are doing luxury bathroom trailer rentals. Okay. I guess no one's really doing this. And I will say it looks incredible. Yeah. Did you see this? Yeah, I saw this. It's called a luxury, Lou.

Oh, okay. Or something like that. Good name. And I'm guessing it's for mainly weddings. I don't know who else would be. Maybe, I don't know what types of people are renting bathrooms, to be honest. I don't know that industry.

So we're all the time. It's kind of my five-banger guy. It would be a good, like, yeah, you got a country wedding or like. They're all kind of different themed. And, you know, yeah, it looks really nice in there. So. Wow. Luxury Lou.

Luxury Lou. If there's anywhere that that would work, it would be Dallas. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Yeah, but. That's pretty fun.

Yeah, when would you really need one? But then again, people in Dallas, they get stuff even if they don't always need it. The thing is, I don't really know what events happen. I don't really do anything. So I don't know what, you know, like, or do people have, like, dinner party? Well, I don't know.

If it's at your house, you have bad, I don't know. I will say, like, my cousin, his in-laws have a wedding venue in Kansas City, and I think they only have, like, two bathrooms. So you might. So you might just need a couple more. Luxury Lou. Luxury Lou.

You don't get. Primarily their weddings. I don't know. gala's. No matter what, though, it's always going to have that, like, crazy flush, right? It's not going to have, like, a good flush. It's always going to have, like, the hole that just opens up. They are scary. You can't get around that. Yeah. Maybe you can't. Who knows? So, good for him.

All right. Covered a lot of ground. That's nice. Llew documentary. Here's a question I was just thinking of yesterday. I wrote down, is sunscreen the best that we can do? Oh, wow. I'm open to just saying, yes, that's the best we can do. But I'm in Phoenix, I'm in the heat, and I'm just thinking, like, I'm going to be outside for a while. They have these, like, poles that you can put on top of you. Poles.

And they have, like, like, drapes over you. It works in the rain or the sun. Put a laser through your head. No. No. No. They're called umbrella this time. Sorry.

No, yeah. I'm just wondering. Shade. Some of their. Trees are good. Invention, like, is there something we can quickly, because Rachel's got me on this, you know, zinc, mineral, Sucks.

Blue Lizard. It's a, it's a 15-minute routine. And guess what? Just for the neck up. Guess what? Everyone knows you have it on. Yeah, it gets stuck in, I mean, the smallest of stubble. You can't.

I'm a ghost. You can't go to, like, the Dominican and put that on or else they're going to think you're like a KKK member or something. Yes, it looks like a white hood. Yeah, just like, I see you. I'm just wondering, does it get, better. Have we invented anything out there that's better than sunscreen where it's like a quick like it was like a face mask like you you put something on your face and you rip it off. Oh it's like

like some sort of peel apply stick peel and stick. Yeah. Can we invent that? Would you want that? You'd like apply this mask to your face in five seconds and then peel it off sunscreen. You're good. I don't know the I don't know the details of this. So people are going to probably come after me like Brad, you ignorant person. But I think that there's like waste. basically naturally shield yourself from the sun based on what you eat. Like how hydrated you are, I think helps out with how much you get sunburned. This sounds like a hoax. A hundred percent. It's definitely like a very natural thing. It's definitely like a little bit of like crunchy like granola kind of stuff. But keep talking. I watched, instead of watching the big short last night,

we ended up watching this documentary on plastics. Okay. Fun. That's always a fun time. A bit of a downer. They're everywhere. We all have it inside of us. It's in the milk. You're wearing like denim now only. Denim and cotton. Yep. 100% cotton though. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

It's like certain things you eat or like depending on how much of certain vitamins I think you have in your system or whatever. I don't know. I don't know the details of it very well. But I know there's like people that surmise. Obviously if you're in the sun just constantly for five hours, you're going to get burned. But like I think you can avoid it with other ways, natural ways. If someone that lives in Arizona, Are they going outside and putting on sunscreen every day?

They might. Because I feel like surely if you live in a climate where you're getting a lot of sun, it's hot, wouldn't you just be tan and not burn? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Some people say, like, I've heard other girls say, like, you need to put on sunscreen every day anyway. Like, no matter what, in Kansas or whatever, it's like good for your skin. Yeah, man.

I'm so glad I don't worry about my skin that much. I just, I don't, I haven't used sunscreen in years. I don't really put it on either. You haven't used sunscreen in the years? No. Wow. Yeah. Oh.

Ignorance is bliss. I guess. Beautiful. Because you're worried about your face. Because you can just wear long sleeve. Like they have like the long sleeve, like they have like the long sleeve UPF shirts and all that stuff. Yeah.

But you're worried about the moneymaker. Hats. The nose. Hats exist. Hats. You ever gone bucket hat? Not on purpose. I think one time I went, I'll tell you what it was it was the day before shooting our

our stamos special. We went golf in or whatever. and I didn't have sunscreen and I forgot a hat and I was like I can't get sunburnt and so I bought a bucket hat at the pro shop to fully cover me

and I think I gave it to Steve Cooper Christmas later that year but yeah I can get down on a bug I think I could rock a bucket hat it's fine yeah but that people who like know their stuff have a lot of bad things to say

about the sun there's like there's no benefit to ultraviolet light hitting your skin I mean I guess like culturally it's nice to look tan no I think there is benefits I don't know about ultraviolet

yeah but like the sun gives you vitamin I guess that's fair. And it's different if you get it through a window or if you get it straight on your skin. Oh, yeah. I have a friend who's a MD PhD or PhDMD. He's like a doctor of doctors. Yeah.

And he was nerding out about that one time. So I don't know. But yeah, you're right. Probably the UV aspect of it. It's not good. Yeah. I don't know. But it should, it's a good to feel of skin, though.

Yeah, dude. You went to Arizona at the right time. This is freaking snowing. here. We honestly, it's Rachel's spring break. So like, let's go somewhere sunny, whatever. And the whole time we were gone, it was cold. And then the second we got back, it was like, you know, was warming up. It was awesome. Yeah, that was one of the times I screamed at Miguel was like, he was, he said he was going to pour it on Saturday. And then he sends me, or he shows me this phony email. He's like, we can do it on Monday. I was like, do you know what the weather's like on Monday? I was like, yes, 70 degrees.

And I show him the forecast. I was like, it's a high of 30 freaking degrees. I said that. I said freaking. I almost didn't. I almost like really like blipping. Yes, dude. So I have 30 freaking degrees. Oh, okay. We do a Tuesday. We do a Tuesday. Um, yeah, it snowed. Yeah, like, not like a ton, but like it stuck overnight and everything. Yeah, totally missed it. A little dusting. Yeah, he really did. It got so windy. Like Sunday. That was crazy. Sunday afternoon evening or whatever, just like the wind picked up like crazy and then, um, yeah, it was snowing. I was like, what I was wondering what happened. My trash cans fell over with stuff in them.

Oh, yeah. That was the wind. Dude, it was violent. Yeah. It was like really windy. I saw some shingles fall off my house as well. But that happens. Yeah, it's all the time.

It didn't take a big win for that. Do you see that on the Facebook group? Talissa, which is funny. The whole time I knew the ghosties who saw me last time I was in Phoenix. There was one girl I couldn't remember her name. Oh, that was Talissa? It was Talissa. It was Tulsa.

Tough name to remember. Yeah. Pretty common. Anyway, she took a paparazzi picture of me and Rachel. I was like, wow. There you are. We were so close. And you saw me a month ago.

Yeah, I saw that she broke it down. Like, there was no time. There was time if you got to say what's up. It takes you a second to pull out your phone and turn your camera on. Yeah. Dang. I wish I would have seen her. So.

It's too bad. That's pretty funny, though. It was a fun picture. Where were you? Just walking around downtown Gilb. The Gilbeer. We eating dinner that night. Okay.

Just walking around. That's funny. It's nice out. Nice. But yeah, let me know if there's sunscreen alternatives. I need to know about. I feel like I told you a few. Hat, umbrella, bucket hat.

And then vitamins. I would say ski mask is up there. That's a good point. That actually would. If that's really your top priority. Yeah. The zinc stuff, man. It's tough.

Reef friendly. I'm big on that. Yeah. You care about that in Arizona. Big on that. What was I going to look up? Oh, reviews. Review of the week.

I don't know if we got any more. Dang it. I'll check every hour. Let's see. If we do, I'm taking it. No. L.O.L.E. It's the last one.

Host and guest, Steve Coop. How does it know Steve Coop? I saw that. How does it know? Shout out, Steve. In your heart, you know. I think I'm going to make a shirt and instead of I-Y-K-Y-Y-K,

like if you know you know, I-Y-H-Y-K. In your heart, you know, that's really good. Yeah? You like that? Yeah. I might do a few. I might do a few concepts for old Stevie in between basketball games, mess around, but I-Y-H-Y-K.

In your heart, you know. And someone found out in the Bible too, which is great. Yeah, I saw that. Amazing. Yeah, sorry. I don't have any reviews. Any, any. Somebody texted me and I honestly.

I know. I'm trying to find, I feel like I've screen shotted emails or something. Here's one screenshot. This will be my review of the week. From Megan 2 book emoji. Wednesday's episode is going down as one of my favorites. In general, Ghostrunners is my weekly reminder that there are good people in this world. This is the case for anyone else?

This episode had the extra layer of the utterly unique Steve Coupe. It's so cool to know about all these different people across America. amazing people I would have never known about. Yet now in my daily life, I can wonder, is Steve Kroop crawling around with his dog right now? Yeah, how long is that going to last? You think he'll do it into the summer? I don't think so.

I think once the snow's gone, the knees take a beating. That's right. Probably. So, Mariah, honestly, Mariah, I got this text when I was knee-deep in Miguel's issues. So I have not listened. She sent me a long voice message. It wasn't even that long.

Let's listen to it right now. It says the transcript says T.B. and J. At the beginning, aka all of us, right? That's us. Also, I kind of like being called T.B. and J. T.B. and J.

I forgot about that. I think we talked about that one time. Did we? Yeah. Dang. That works really well. Merge. Yeah, totally.

I listen to T. and j i hope i can play it t b and j what is up this is maria pascatch from pella iowa and i had to hop on here and just give an on your feet ghosty shout out to josh palmer we both love in pel and work it from europe but we had never met and so when he saw my recent spotify comment about pella's tulip festival he saw an opportunity

to absolutely troll me and he did he walked into our pot at work and started having a conversation with a coworker about, oh, Holland has this Tollet Festival, but it's, apparently it's much bigger than Pellas. And she was like, oh, where'd you hear that? Some dumb podcast? He was like, yeah, some dumb podcast. And so I turned around and I was like, hey, you're talking about the Ghostrunner's podcast? And immediately he gave it up.
