Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, happy Monday ghosties. Hey, uh, Jake, well, time and I are here. Jake is kind of here. Jake, you say hi. Hello. Jake, say hi. I'm away right now. He's going.
Starting point is 00:00:14 Sorry, buddy. I just said, Jake, say, just tell him what you're doing, what's going on, how it's going. Sorry. I know you're good. Oh, gosh. It's tough. Okay, no. I think this is fine.
Starting point is 00:00:24 This is fine. Timon, hello, dude. I haven't seen you. Yes. What's up? While. Yep. No, yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Can you guys see me? Is it fine? We can see you pretty good. When you go too close to the camera like that, we can't hear you very well. Yeah, I would say go farther from the camera. Okay. There we go. Now I can see you better.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Sweet. Yeah, there we go. There's good. Yeah, perfect. Okay. I see you now. Okay, dude, what's new? Oh, shoot.
Starting point is 00:00:53 We should have thought about that before we started recording. I don't know. Do you have anything? How is Dennis? Have you seen this, like this game that I saw the other day on TikTok. Have you seen Dennis lately or like what's new? Dennis. Are you saying, like, I have not been to the dentist.
Starting point is 00:01:10 I think it's kind of a scam to have to go every six months. Is that what you said? Dennis. Dennis. Dennis. Are you saying, Dennis? Dennis. Guys, we're joking.
Starting point is 00:01:27 We can hear each other fine. Got you. Ha ha ha. It's fine. Watch this. Watch how in sync we are. I don't know how to test it actually. Down by the bay.
Starting point is 00:01:44 That's not the dude. See? We're back to normal. Told you guys. No, no, let's do it. Let's do it. Down by the bay where the water mounds grow. Back to my home.
Starting point is 00:01:57 I dare not go. For if I do, my mother, my say, Jake. Have you ever seen a clock running a mock? Down by the... Time, get in there, Earl. Down by the bay. Down by the
Starting point is 00:02:11 bay. Where the watermelons grow, back to my home. I dare not go. I dare not go. For if I do... This is a test of the late to see. My mother must say. Timon. Did you ever see a llama wearing pajamas?
Starting point is 00:02:27 Down by the bay. Take it in there. Or else are not going to know. I'm trying to clap along. it and see if it's actually on beat. Did it feel on beat? Well, that's just you, bud. That's just you. That could be a me problem.
Starting point is 00:02:37 It could be a you problem. There's no way to properly test this. Everything's going to be fine. Stop freaking out. Roll it. Uh, uh, oh, oh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts on white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat.
Starting point is 00:02:58 So come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead. Get on your feet. Because it's a ghost from Spockdown Everybody's morning We're taking around Ghost on the spot
Starting point is 00:03:09 Oh, we probably should find an actual location to film this though once this studio's not around Maybe We don't know Do you think that the next homeowners will be fine
Starting point is 00:03:25 If we'd kind of come in every week? Yeah, the guy seems kind of cool, Jake. I did meet him. I did not expect him to show up to the sewer inspection. Oh, he wants to know. He heard the word on the street, literally. You heard the crap on the street. I got to meet it. It felt wrong. It felt like
Starting point is 00:03:42 when you meet like in time travel movies where you meet a younger version of yourself, you're like, this is actually bad. This is going to be really bad if you meet this guy. And I like shook his hand. I shook the home buyer's hand. It does feel wrong, dude. So like I sold this Leewood house and they're like, they're like, we'll take it as is. So in my head, I was like, okay, great, I'll get most of the things out. But there's a big old bathtub in there. I couldn't move by myself. So I was like, I guess I just keep that bathtub in there. And then, uh, realtor's like, hey, can you move this bathtub?
Starting point is 00:04:14 I was like, yeah, I can move the bathtub. And so I had to like coordinate with this woman that's that I sold the house to. And it felt like you don't want to know who I am. You don't want to, you don't want to attach me to this house. Right? Like there's something about it. It's like, I don't want to know that you slept in this room too. Like I want this to be my room and my room only.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Kind of like when you and Rachel went and did that tour of the house and you saw the grandma's bed. Oh, grandma writhing around in the bed, the porridge in the kitchen, dude. Like, that's, that's, you can't go in that room anymore. That'll never be our house. No. But yeah, so I met Max, and he seems down to let us podcast, all that to say. Okay, sounds good.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Can I actually come see the podcast room right now? I haven't seen it a while. Can I come check in on it? Yeah. Do you want to turn your camera around or how you want to do it? Just, just hang tight real quick. It won't take that long. Down by the bay.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Bottomounds grow back to my home. I dare not go. For if I do, my mother might say, Have you ever been out of the room pretending to have a virtual podcasting or not? Down by the bay. This has been a test of the emergency broadcast system. Emergency. Emergency podcast system.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Yeah. That was perfect, dude. You were right there. Oh, you've lost it, man. I've lost it. Arizona's changed you. I'm not even out of town. We just wanted to test this before I go to Malaysia slash Phoenix. And good news. Whenever you would get really loud, I could hear your actual voice versus Riverside. And I mean, very little delay. I was very impressed. I thought it would be like, like what a phone call is or what Bluetooth is. Right. That was almost nothing. That's, which is very good news. How do they do that? And why don't, why doesn't everybody do that? Why doesn't a phone call do that? Why isn't a phone call do that? Why isn't a Bluetooth do that? Do Riverside have access to magic and no one else does? Magic? Do you believe in magic now, huh? Well, our God's bigger than that. I don't know about yours. Yeah, I don't know about yours.
Starting point is 00:06:13 A.C. Nice try. All right, we're back in studio with Bad Bunny. Oh, with Magenta Jake. All right. We stopped the online recording, which is back to a normal episode. But yeah, obviously, we were joking, like, the first, like, two minutes. But otherwise, let us know how it sounded and how it felt. Yeah. Let Tim and know. Let Tim and worry about it. Yeah. The time and figure it out. That's what we pay him for. This is a MapTap podcast now. I don't know if you heard.
Starting point is 00:06:43 People are pretty into it. People are pretty into it. I like it. It's fun. I don't do it every day. But when I do it, I realize I don't know where anything is. Like I know the general area. Like yesterday, I think it was, there were two countries that were, I think it was like Switzerland and Germany maybe or something like that.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Something in Germany for sure. And the first time I clicked, I think it was Switzerland. I clicked on France. And they go, this is France, which always kind of is, you know, demeaning. This is France. I was like, dang it. And then the next one was like Germany. I was like, okay, Germany's right next to Switzerland, probably.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Like, it's close. So what did I do? On accident? I clicked on France again. And they're like, this is France. Like, dang it. So I know where some things are a little bit. But it was pretty fun.
Starting point is 00:07:33 The first day after you showed it to us last week, I showed Hattie and Catherine. and they both got higher scores than anybody else. Haddy was the best. Haddy dominated it. It was awesome. We continued to send our daily scores in my other group chat with those guys. And I told them,
Starting point is 00:07:49 I said, you know who's really good at this? Haddy Ellis. Yeah. And Gunner goes, this might be the shove I needed into homeschooling. He's like, how good is she? I'm like,
Starting point is 00:07:57 she's quite good. It's pretty amazing. She doesn't know, ironically, she doesn't know America very well. That is really funny. Yeah. And so...
Starting point is 00:08:04 She's trying to get you to take her on more vacations. Sorry, I don't know where Redwood, National Forest is take me there. Yeah, like I think yesterday or two days ago was Phoenix, maybe. And I was like, it's in the desert. That's all I'm going to say. You know, but she's like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:18 She kind of knows the states, but like, yeah, that's hard for her. That is funny. She knows them a little bit better than Tyman, though, I think, because I think that the other day, Tyman guessed that a country was in the middle of Alaska. Yeah. And the reasoning was great. Yeah. Let's talk about it.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Well, I was just, it was. it was probably the fourth or fifth guess. It was towards the end. And I was just already having a bad... Oh, he was fatigued. He was fatigued. I had map tap fatigue. Just a bad map tap day.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Uh-huh. And I just saw it was something Togo. And I just was like, Togo, I one time watched this movie about a sled dog named Togo. He was in Alaska. He was probably named after the place he was in. So it's probably in Alaska. And I just took Alaska. It was nowhere near.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I think it was in Africa. It's a country and after. Did you also realize the dog's name was Balto? I think that I... I don't think I made up this thing. I think there's a... I'm going to look this up right now. Look at Togo sled dog.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Togo sled dog. It's going to be like, did you mean Baltho? No, yes. There's a Togo. Okay. His owner was played by Willem Defoe in the movie. Willem? Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:28 But no, that was... It didn't make any sense, my guess, but... We each had a single-digit score at one point. Yes. Yeah, what did I? I can't remember. Hyman's was Togo. Maybe mine was, no, mine wasn't Togo.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Zanzibar, maybe? Zanzibar was tough. Yeah. What was the one that was in the middle of the, like, Pacific Ocean? What's that random? Oh, yeah, Tahiti? Tahiti. I didn't do that day.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I thought that was Hawaii single digit score. Because I remember looking into like just any tropical island ever for the honeymoon back of the day. I go, okay, Tahiti was an option. I remember it being like a 34-hour flight. Whoa. Okay. so this thing's far.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Oh yeah, I got it. And then I just chose like off the coast of Madagascar. That's not where it is. Oh, wow. Where is it? Ish. It's like in the middle of nowhere, like somewhere between Hawaii and Australia. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Yeah, I clicked on Hawaii. I was like Tahiti sounds like an island name. So even though, yet again, it's a state. So it doesn't make it sense. But you knew you were clicking on Hawaii? Yes. Yes. Every guest time.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Zanzibar. This is America. I think my mom had a friend from Zanzibar. from Illinois. Illinois. I want to say it's near Tremont, Illinois. I think his name. No, his name was Zanzibar.
Starting point is 00:10:43 So he lived in Illinois, so it would be Illinois. Yeah, the Zanzibar is there from Illinois. One of the ghosties posted on there and about a new game that I also really loved. Do you guys see this? Time Guesser. No. I love Time Guesser. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:58 And I truly think I'm having beginner's luck right now. Like I actually think it will wear off. But what you do is it shows you a photo. of just a picture taken at some point in history, and you have to guess where this photo is taken, but you get a real map. Like, if you want to click Vienna, Austria, you know exactly what you're clicking.
Starting point is 00:11:18 You also have to guess the year that this photo is taken. So you can take any clues, like some pictures are black and white. You know, so you get to use cars in the picture, or maybe people's, like, fashion in the picture, or does, I mean, anything. Everything is at your disposal. The quality of the picture, you know, I think I saw one today that was like, this looks like a pretty high-rise picture.

Haddy had an accidental tap the other day. Oh, act tap? Yeah, the act tapped. So I didn't, as I asked not, that's not fair.
Starting point is 00:13:12 I almost just tried to text Hattie. What an idiot. Catherine. I saw on the Facebook group that people are saying like their kids have also act tapped, which is good. It means they're not super familiar. Yeah. With the screen.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Yeah, exactly. Acting. Can you have Hattie do map tap, please? There's an app. please don't don't confuse by the way there's an app she she doesn't know her app password rachel got logged into mine which we really don't know how that happened like in her app store stripl Jake what is what does that mean or what does that do or how's that change things not really that much but it is just very confusing how that could have ever ever happened yeah we're

We don't share our bank account. At one point, I accidentally got two different email addresses, like able to log in to Apple ID, worst mistake in my life. I hate little mistakes like that.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Yeah. I'm in the process right now of like canceling and rebooking flights to Asia. Not much fun doing all that, changing hotels, you know, just like editing, just re-editing anything. Well, you guys changing the dates? Yeah, we got this email just a couple nights ago. And he's probably like a human trafficker or something, but he was like, hey, there was an event in downtown Manila Philippines.
Starting point is 00:14:39 It's called Fifth Avenue. It's like the equivalent of Times Square, but Filipino version, we are going to roll out a pickleball court, and we want you guys to put on the event. Wow. And so we're like, well, I guess we're, we weren't really complaining on being there then at that time, but we're going to be in Southeast Asia.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Let's make it happen. Okay. Rebooking everything. It's a nightmare. But we're going to make it out, though. The ball is going to bounce on that? You're going to roll out, roll out court? Sometimes it might.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Yeah. Yeah. That's good. I played some pickleball and met your friend. Is his name Justin? His name's Justin. Good. Ooh, that was close.
Starting point is 00:15:16 I walked in Ace, Ace Pickleball, that was called? Ace Club, good, good, good. And I was meeting my friends. Ace is the place where the dinks and drops go far. That's right. I was meeting. my friend, I thought they would say like, oh yeah, my friend Brad's coming. So I walked in. He's like, hey, you Brad? I was like, yeah, thinking like he just knew me from the fact that I was coming.
Starting point is 00:15:39 And he's like, dude, this is a podcast. I know Jake and Isaac really well. And he just kept name-dropping. You know, his time in a little? Who? Did you say he? Justin. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Who is he? Nice guy, though. Yeah. He's our x-ray guy. Oh, he's the X-ray guy Because he's a medical device guy Yeah, something.

Starting point is 00:16:38 That was close. So, anyway. Yeah, it was fun. It was a fun event? No, it was just hanging out. Just me and some friends. There was a guy there
Starting point is 00:16:46 that's an ace member. You went to the Ace Pickleball club, but did not play pickleball. I'm sorry, what did you ask? Like that night of Pickleball? Is that fun?
Starting point is 00:16:55 Yeah, yeah, it was fun. I thought you said, it was a funny vent. Oh. It was just like a, hang, it was just like a pickup game of pickleball. Yeah, yeah, okay. I did get, I see, I see, I see.
Starting point is 00:17:05 I did play. So we were playing, there was four of us, obviously, come into play, and one of the guys was running late. And so there were three women. I mean, like the classic scenario, you hear about like the 55, 60 year old women
Starting point is 00:17:20 that are like playing. They're wearing those glasses so they don't get hit in the face, like the kitchen blockers, whatever they call those things. They're like, hey, we need one more. Anybody want to fill in?
Starting point is 00:17:29 So we're like, all right, how about Brad, you go play with Naila, and then whoever wins will play with. Dude, it was one of those classic scenarios where we got, we got wipped. I got whooped by two women. Not even, not even, I kind of went easy on them for a few points,
Starting point is 00:17:44 and I was like, crap, we're going to lose. And I think we lost 11 to 1. I don't remember the other people's names. Nila ended up being on the other team. And Nila was nice. She was. Nila was a killer. She was just, she just did what she was supposed to do.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Like she didn't, it was just, it was just consistent every time. John Stockton. Never missed, never missed a serve, never, you know, like got overwhelmed with anything. She just seemed like she knew what she was doing. And man, yeah, we lost it. But played her again. We came back. We lost again, but it was 12 to 10.
Starting point is 00:18:16 So we, we held our own. Yeah. It was a, it was a little bit of a fluke time with me and Daveen. Daveen. Daveen, dude. How old? She wasn't that old. DaVine.

Starting point is 00:18:34 Anyway, but yeah, it was fun play. And Justin, he's like, will you take a picture holding these other paddles? I'm going to send those to you? Was it hilarious? I am going to be honest. Justin, I don't have your number of my phones. I didn't know. Some friend.
Starting point is 00:18:50 X-ray. I didn't really get it. Oh, okay. I get it now. There you go. Someone else texted me. I also don't have your number. And they said these glasses would be great for the Gulf Shores getaway treasure room.
Starting point is 00:19:04 And I said, that's actually a great idea. Yes, they would. I'll give these away in August. Yes, they would. I've been scheming a little bit of Gulf Shoresy stuff lately. Well, that's nice. Just a little in my free time. I'm excited about it.

But at the beginning of the day, I kind of bribed the kids. I don't know. This is one of those times where it's like I, I wasn't planning on traumatizing my kids, but I definitely traumatized my kids a little.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Okay. The year before, we had, like, chosen, like, we're going to buy them all a souvenir. Like, that's fun. And so they all got to choose, like, a toy from one of their toy stores or something. And Bo was like, do we get a souvenir this time? I said, yes, but you have to earn them. Yeah, good. You have to earn them by going on some rides.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Monday. We're going to go on as many rides. Yeah. Yeah, sure. We can go on that little dinky, you know, Dalmatian ride up and down. No problem. But I was like, you know, Bo, if you want to go on one of the bigger roller coasters,
Starting point is 00:24:03 I'll give you $5 instead of a one for fire in the hole, you know, whatever. And so, Bo, it's like, all right, now let's go. Give me on the time traveler. So too short for the time traveler. He was, he was like, he was ready to go on wildfire. Really? And I was like, oh, you're too short for that when he goes. Do I get money for saying that I wanted to go?
Starting point is 00:24:20 all he cared about was getting these souvenirs because he found this toy store that had swords and like those old like you know guns where you cocked back the little hammer and shoot him um and uh so we went on we went on we all went on fire in the hole well rosy rosy had e bow and i fire the hole dude a little scary in there they have a new one right yes have you been on it i don't think i've been on the new one it's fine don't you don't need to Isn't it? Is it kind of just like the same as the last one, but doesn't have the fun fast part?
Starting point is 00:24:56 That's what I kind of remember. It kind of went fun and fast. Okay. At the end, you do a little plunge. Yeah, yeah, you do a little.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Okay, I could remember. So the people that don't know Silver River City, it's like, it's like, it's like basically like one of those rides where it's just like tells a story throughout the ride. But you're in the dark the whole time.
Starting point is 00:25:10 I wish you could hear my dad talk about it. Because my dad grew up at South Texas, Missouri. Like, he remembers when they like, like, like, it was like jumping out of an airplane 40 years ago.
Starting point is 00:25:19 He's like, you're writing fire in the hole. Really? You're insane. Oh, it was like a thrill-seeking thing. I think it was like, or maybe it's just the only option they had. So, I mean, they just loved it. I forget exactly like what his feelings are towards it, but I remember it being a big deal. I mean, the only drop that it has at the very end.
Starting point is 00:25:33 And it's, it's a three, no, one second drop. I mean, into a little bit of water. It's dark, though. It's dark. And it looks like you're about to, like, hit a train. And all of a sudden, the last second, you just go down, fire in the hole. I made a mistake of bringing Rosie on that one. It was kind of scary.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Like these people are. There's a house fire. Yeah, it's like a house fire. It's all these guys in like scary like scarecrow looking masks. And I'm like, and I was trying to. Dorothy's houses on fire. I was trying to like kind of make it fun. Like look at that funny guy.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Oh, uh, COVID. And Rosie starts to cry at it, whatever. And then she said, I got soaked on that thing. She didn't get soaked. Um, but anyway. That scared Hattie enough to not go on any more rides. Like she was like, I don't think I want to. I mean, like she went on like kitty rides, but like, she did wildfires.
Starting point is 00:26:23 She's like, now there's a wildfire. Yeah, the house fires. No more fires. I don't. But Bo was just determined. He's like, I don't really want to go on this ride, but I want to make some money. So we went on Thunderation, which if you over. Bo wrote Thunderation.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Would just wait, buddy. If you don't know Thunderation, Thunderation is like, it's a pretty old roller coaster. But I would say it's like a, it's like a B minus roller coaster. I mean, it's a real. roller coaster it's a real roller coaster yeah and honestly when I remembered I don't remember it being that much of a real roller coaster I felt like it was more like a C minus like oh yeah this is a pretty good like next level roller coaster like this is the one of the first roller coasters you ride dude it was old it's an old school roller coaster at the point where
Starting point is 00:27:04 bow yeah Bose Bose like lap belt didn't secure him super well your arm is the lot yes eventually I was like because like he's so small dude I mean he was only like one tall enough to ride with somebody else riding with him, like riding with adult. And so he's getting jostled around by this thing, dude. And I mean, he gets done and he just goes, oh, that was terrible. I got soaked. I was like, you did it, buddy. It's your urine, bud. Yeah. I, uh, like, it's one of those rides like halfway through that goes up another hill. And so you have a little time to regroup, you know? And I'm like, Bo, you're doing great. You're awesome, buddy. You just thought, I was like, you see that hill? We're going down. He's like,
Starting point is 00:27:46 I don't want to go down that hill. I don't want to go down that. We're doing it! Oh, I love roller coasters. So we get done with that one. And, you know, he's like, I am so dizzy. You know, he's coming back from it. Hey, he's like, you want some corn dog?
Starting point is 00:28:03 He's like, yeah, give me some corn dog. Dude, he is my uncle John. Yeah. Oh, I'm going to throw up. Wait, they sell him turkey legs. Turkey legs right there? No line? Oh, yeah, I'll take one.
Starting point is 00:28:12 I'm going to regret it if I don't. They always sell out. And so, Caitlin, bring me a turkey leg. Yeah. So I was like going through all the different rides that we could ride at lunchtime, which is right before we rode these rides, which is terrible. No worry. He didn't throw up ever.
Starting point is 00:28:25 But so then he's like, okay, he's like done with thunderation. He's like, you say powder kegs $10? It's like, buddy. He's like, where's powder keg? Dude, powder keg is suddenly like a, I don't know, A minus roller coaster. I was going to say, if you don't know, this is like a legit ride. Like this is one that like is fun for anybody. This is like you're in a Tesla cyber truck and you put the pedal to the ground.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yes. Type roller coaster. I think it was like zero to 60 and two seconds or something like that. Like just and so I told. We're, we're, I mean, and so we went. We did it. Did you have them like watch it? Like let's watch them do it one time.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Nope. Nope. I was just like, let's go for it. I told them. I was like, keep your head against the head rest. Yeah. I've told them that 20 times. Because I was like, I know.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Because it's just going to rock you back. So I was like, keep your head back. Yeah. Head back. Head back. And so the very first, I mean, yeah, zero to 60 in two second, zoom up this hill and down. And all of a sudden he's just getting rocked again.
Starting point is 00:29:26 And he's just, I don't think it goes upside down. So that's only only lap bar again. Yes, no upside down. But he's just going and you could, I could just hear, ah, and he just goes, I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. And then I look over, dude.
Starting point is 00:29:42 And he's like, $10. Shake my hand, dad. Shake my hand. Make it 20. And dude, I look over at him. And you, you ever see those videos of those kids that like pass out on roller coasters? Oh, yeah. Or adults even.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Like, like, all of a sudden he's just like, he's like looking like this. And I was like, Bo! You're doing it, buddy. Get up! Like, and yeah, finally like, yeah, we get up to the top of this, another hill. Like another one of those like crank up the hills halfway through the ride. And he's just like, I hate this. Oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:30:11 I want this to be over. I was like, Bo, it's almost over. And right when it gets over, he's like, I am never. doing that again. Do other people hear him? Are they laughing at that? Oh, yeah. But to his credit, he got his
Starting point is 00:30:24 little gun. And then yesterday, I heard him talking to somebody at church. He's like, yeah, I loved it. I was like, you didn't love it? Powder cake? Yeah, it was fine. It's no wildfires.
Starting point is 00:30:37 On the drive home, he's like, Dad, crank it up a lot. Let's go a little faster. Yeah, exactly. He's got a, he's a pinch of fort now. But it was like, it was pretty fun watching him do his thing. Oh, I bet that would be a blast.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Because it was like, Thunderation, like rocked his world. And he's like, all right, you say, pirate kegs $10? All right. Yeah, power kegs's fun. That's a good roller coaster. Yeah. That was awesome. Hot start, a couple big drops.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Kelly Bow rode that hole. Does he know? He's five. He'll be six in like a week. Cinder my bow. I always forget that. Yeah, that's right. Synco to my bow.
Starting point is 00:31:09 So, anyway, wild, man. It was so fun, though. Dang. So just fun. Just SDC trip. Yeah, SDC, a little hotel pool. We went on a little hiking trail to this waterfall. You know, Branson?
Starting point is 00:31:23 I think I've done that 2-4 before. Branson's awesome, dude. Yeah, that's a great little trail. It's a great little trail. So, yeah, we did that whole family, and Bo led the way. Didn't care. Yeah, you just was going for it. So it was a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:31:36 When I have, I've done this multiple times, but when I've laid out pros and cons of moving to Phoenix, one of the cons is always further away from Branson. It's like, we don't go there a ton, but like, But every time you go, it's awesome. At least once a year, we go down there, usually twice. I mean, it's so close to your parents' house. You can just go back when you go.
Starting point is 00:31:55 I may not even go to Stratford again. It's just like, meet me and Branson, mom and dad. Okay. Did your parents talk to you about this? We came back on Tuesday. Did you hear about the hail? Like earth-shattering hail. Wild, dude.
Starting point is 00:32:08 I need to talk to my parents because I know they were out of town. My dad won another vacation with his work. They were in Palm Springs for, they might have missed it. Okay. But yeah. Yeah. I mean, I saw Facebook videos
Starting point is 00:32:18 of the Walmart parking lot. It looked like a Michael Bay movie. The windshields and the size of the hail. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They've been shot with a gun. So we decided,
Starting point is 00:32:26 yeah, to drive home on Tuesday morning and we were going to go to Cracker Barrel in Springfield for lunch. Oh, it was awesome, dude. There's everything you want South West Missouri, baby.
Starting point is 00:32:36 And it started hailing a little bit on us and we're like, let's just pull over. So we pull over maybe 15 miles south. And it hailed a little bit. But then we drove, Like, okay, it's letting up, let's go. So we drove, and we drove and got off at the exit in Springfield.
Starting point is 00:32:51 And there's like a, there's a golf course over there. I'm sure you know, it's like off of 44. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's where the Tesla Charger is. Also the Dixon Park Zoo. Okay. It was Rican pargrounds. Just ringing any bells, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Yeah, all those things. Golf course. With a golf course, it looked like it was a practice range because of these, these hail. Like this, all this hail. I mean, it was insane how much hail was on. And so then we get to the cracker barrel And all these people's cars like had like windshields cracked and stuff It was wild
Starting point is 00:33:21 See it first. Yes, yes And all these people were coming out like Literally calm after the storm or whatever Just just seeing the damage Wow, that could have so easy been you guys Yes, well we were driving like 70 miles an hour Could have been that would have been awful Yeah, baseball size hail just insane
Starting point is 00:33:37 Would you agree the videos I saw it looked like in a movie When people shoot bullets into a car windshield And it's like there's like impact points and it's shattering and everything. Like it was insane. Yeah, yeah. We saw somebody driving home later that day. And yeah, just like multiple,
Starting point is 00:33:51 it looked like gunshot when or gunshots on his windshield. Yeah, it was, it was nuts. Because hail damage, I think of like the top of your car, like getting little pins in or whatever, but not like shattering your windshield type hail. I know.
Starting point is 00:34:03 I know. And if we would have left, you know, 15 minutes earlier, we would have absolutely been in the middle of that. Luckily we weren't. So anyway, crazy times. That's wild. I didn't hear about that at all.
Starting point is 00:34:14 It's like apocalyptic type storm or something. Yeah. Because they always, they always speculate. Uh, grapefruit size hail. Yeah. Nothing happens. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:23 I don't understand hail. I don't understand what's going on with that. Is it? Steve Kube could tell you. Yeah. He's very into hail. Is it, is it terrible for crops?
Starting point is 00:34:33 Or is it okay? Yeah, probably. It's got to be. I didn't know if it was made that big of a difference. It's got to be like water, water and cloud, fall. freeze on way down
Starting point is 00:34:44 freeze on way down freeze on way down or it's not or it's frozen and it doesn't frozen thaw frozen oh how's it free freeze so thick big go down fast
Starting point is 00:34:59 go down fast because it's never in freezing temperature but I guess it's freezing up there I don't know it's crazy yeah because the raindrop would never be baseball size to start with how does it grow into a baseball size. Or does it?
Starting point is 00:35:14 It fall through cloud with more moisture. Cloud one big rain drop. It like snowball. It like snowball. Everybody cloud. Everybody cloud. It is. Snowball.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Hmm. Yeah, I don't know. Iceball. Anyway, what's been going on in your life, Jacob? I'll tell you one big thing. Timon rocked my world yesterday. Okay. You know about Chick-fil-A?
Starting point is 00:35:37 Uh-huh. You know a lot about Chick-fil-A. Yeah. I thought I did, too. Uh-oh. Now, I don't know stuff like, uh, we'll call it like the discount duckworth type stuff. I'm not the guy who's like,
Starting point is 00:35:47 you know if you order this and you take off the pimento cheese, it's exactly like this, but you save 15 cents. I don't know that stuff. You bring your own Ziplock bag. Yeah, put some, yeah, you bring your wife's blow dryer. Yeah, you get that going.
Starting point is 00:35:58 You can melt your own cheese. Yeah, dude, it's easy. They're ripping you off, charging your 30 cents per slice. They got two 20s in the back. You could plug in like a big thing. Your own generator, you can charge it right there, dude. Tesla charger, yeah. They won't, they won't say it,
Starting point is 00:36:12 but if you ask, they will provide it for you. Legally, they have to provide it for you. They do, dude. Okay. I just felt like I knew. I thought this is something in the jurisdiction of things I should know. But time when I meet up, yesterday, worked at Chick-Fleine next time. He goes, this is actually my third day in a row being here.
Starting point is 00:36:29 I just love working here. You know, I just pop in all day long. You know, maybe I get a little breakfast, maybe I get lunch. But, you know, I'm just cramming mints all day. It's like, what, mince? Mints, dude. How long have they had this? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:45 That's a good question. You're the bell of the ball, mint, by the way. How many mints are you rock in time? I'd say it's not uncommon for me to go through 30. Yeah, boy. I didn't know that. Good for you, man. I mean, if when you're there.
Starting point is 00:37:03 That's that time of life. You're in that time of life, Simon. If I'm there for genuinely eight hours, that's not that many mints. 30 is awesome. Right. It's not. But it's just a lot for them to restock. I feel like we just put more out. Oh, dude. I've had, uh, where do you, where do you stash them all? You go in pocket on those I got, I'd probably go like eight or so at a time and a handful. Then then the rappers build up and then I throw them away. So yesterday, you, I'm over there throwing them away while they're right there again to grab more.
Starting point is 00:37:33 You really took it easy yesterday then. Oh, yeah. They want to look like like a crazy person in front of you. Come on. He understood. You understood what he does. So yeah, time's going to be like, yeah, I love these men. I go, I just had no idea. So he brings me one. And it's like the good mint that are like coated, almost like buttery mint. Yeah, yeah, soft, soft mint. Yeah. It melts in your mouth.
Starting point is 00:37:52 And oh, it was so good. And about an hour later, I go, I'm going to remint. I'll get you one time. And I open mine up and I go, haven't you ever seen this? I go, check it out. I got twins. Double me. Two in one package.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Time goes, I've seen it all. I've seen someone with two. I've seen a couple of zero. Oh, trust me. The Phantom Mint. Yeah. I've seen it all. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Tim is the Mintmaster. Yeah. I think they're fine with it, though. Like, I've joked with Claire. She works there. I think she's been in the Gene Shorts video. Yeah. But we're friends.
Starting point is 00:38:27 And she was like, she's like getting me more men. She's like, you're running low. I'll get you more minutes. I don't know. That's awesome. Yeah. It's pretty funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:35 It's not going to affect her bottom line. No. I think without knowing anything. I think that, only certain locations have the mince. I'll give you the benefit of the down. Okay. I don't know if that's really true,
Starting point is 00:38:48 but I've noticed it more at some than others. I feel like the college campuses, they're not minting, you know, like... Probably not. You don't see Mintz and Lawrence. No, no, no, no, no, no, not at the mall. No, no, no, no, no, no, not at the mall. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:39:04 But yeah, I think the mince are prevalent at the suburban, suburban chick-fellies. I'm excited. Yeah, mints are good. What was I going to say about, oh, do you know, you probably don't, but kids, they have like these little like, uh, placemats for the kids. Yeah, yeah, I've seen those. Those are clutch too. We sometimes stock up on those. I think I saw you use those probably eight years ago with Hattie. Yeah. It's a, it's a nice hack because then you just wrap it all up in there and throw it away from there. Yep. Those are great. Of, uh, Chick-Flay's bottom line. I know we've talked about this before because I'll get frustrated like I order, can I get a four-piece chicken tender meal with, fries and honey roasted barbecue.
Starting point is 00:39:44 And then they give you like one. It's like, and I've joked like, are they getting paid reverse commission on how many they give out? Like, are they getting paid more? Are they incentivized to give more? I saw another example of this yesterday ordering before time and got there. I'm just, I'm in the store at the register. And I hear the guy in front of me say like, all right, medium this.
Starting point is 00:40:03 And what can I do to get you to upgrade to a large today? Kind of phrases like that. And she's like, oh, no, I'm good. Which is medium. He's like, okay, okay. Then it's my turn to order. and same thing. Medium,
Starting point is 00:40:12 medium water. And is there anything I could do to make that a large water or large fry today? I go, no, no,
Starting point is 00:40:18 just medium's good. And I'm just wondering like, why are they phrasing it that way? Why don't, like, I guess it's just upcharging, but why is he, it's so salesy?
Starting point is 00:40:27 What would it take? What would it take? It's like, huh, I don't know. Free? Yeah, that's how I would absolutely
Starting point is 00:40:34 be that guy saying, I mean, yeah, if you give it to me for free, I'd love to have more fries. Yeah. But no, I'm not,
Starting point is 00:40:39 you realize the, the drinks are free refills, right? Why would I get a large? Yeah. Yeah. That's, is there anything you can do? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:40:47 I can't remember the exact phrase. My car is kind of dirty. You want to detail that real quick. I don't know. Do you have a small vacuum? Is there anything you can do? Yeah, what would it take?
Starting point is 00:40:55 That might have been the exact phrasing. What would it take to make that a large? It just sounded like he was at my door trying to sell me solar panels. Yeah. I was like, Hey, dude. Here's what I'll take what I ordered. If the reward is he makes $1,000 more on the order?
Starting point is 00:41:07 Then buy all me. Yeah, please. Yeah, please. What would it take for me to add 85 cents to that bill of yours? I think we're good, man. So I asked him about it. And I was just like, out of curiosity, like, you get paid more if we, whatever. And he goes, and then I kid you not.
Starting point is 00:41:27 You guys will have to go to this time. I know you will. This guy turned into like a country Western like accent all of a sudden, but it's fine, whatever. He just goes, no, man, I tell you what, I used to work in sales. So I just can't help it. Oh, really? And I was like, oh, right on. No worries.
Starting point is 00:41:40 All right on, brother. Okay, John Wayne. All right, all right. I don't think he talks that way for the first part of the conversation. No, he's got a little attitude to you. I used to work in sales. What would it take?
Starting point is 00:41:56 That's good. So I need to go back again. I'm like, I don't think he was talking that way. So, yeah, let me know. Great. I'll let you know if anyone starts switching up. Code switching their accent to a sales accent. Up charging.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Yeah, he's used to work at sales. That's all it is. I've learned. while being in the back of a chick filet with Will Severn's, whose brother owns the chick filets. My dad. My daddy owns the fillets. We saw you yesterday.
Starting point is 00:42:20 I've learned that they have nuggets that either are like rejects for whatever reason. There's just like a big bucket of them. Like just like either they've been on the line too long or whatever. And so Will will just walk by there and just like grab some nuggets out of this bucket. From the rejected bucket. So maybe that next time, what would it take for me to upgrade to a large? I'll take a few of your reject nuggets. I don't know you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:42:42 You know exactly what I'm talking about. Get back there and give me some reject nuggets and I'll give you a large drink. Oh yeah, you yellow-bellied. They're talking Western Tum. Anyway, yeah, just learned about those. Yeah, we'll just take a handful of those. It's like they're like nuts, like a, you know, sports bar or something.
Starting point is 00:43:03 He's just walking by, just grabbing a few. Yeah, throw them in there. I got framed to look like more of a sauce glove. than I am. Tommy did get framed yesterday. I, so I, like, I know that this is, you know, it's a lot of sauce, but I always get five Chick-fil-A sauces with my, with my order. No shame.
Starting point is 00:43:21 No shame. Because I get, usually, either a chicken sandwich and a large fry. It helps the 30 minutes go down easier. You have five things of Chick-fil-A sauce. You dip that in the Chick-fil-A-Suc-Li-Sus. Or, yeah, like, I always have a large fry, so it's like a lot, you need a lot of sauce to, like, I like the sauce. so I'll get five.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Yesterday, I, the guy brings, like I sat down with Jake, guy brings me my food, and there's eight sauces. And he goes like, all right, here's your half gallon of chick filet sauce. Like he said that, the employee did. In front of me, too. Yeah. And I, like, was so thrown off by being framed that I felt like rude. I was like, I didn't order that.
Starting point is 00:43:59 I didn't know what to say. I was like pretty frozen. I didn't, this. I mean, yeah, sorry, it's a lot, but I didn't order this many. Yeah, yeah. I just walked away. I was like, shoot. You handled it pretty well from.
Starting point is 00:44:09 when I remember, you go, now I do order a lot of Chick-Villay sauce, but I said five, this is eight. Okay. So half gallon, why you take that back? Yeah. Can I say this? Sure. Hot take, potentially. Chick-fil-A's average without their sauces.
Starting point is 00:44:26 A lot of people would say that about canes. I don't know if I would say that about Chick-fil-A. I would say that about both. Wow. But, like, I would not be very excited to eat Chick-fil-A if I didn't get any sauce. Oh, yeah. See, I do that pretty often. Really?
Starting point is 00:44:37 Because my lack of like... You eat the fries, no sauce? Sorry. Here? Continue. I'm so... Me out. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:44:44 We will. Thank you. Yeah. I'm... We will. Yeah. I'll shut up. We will.
Starting point is 00:44:51 We will. We will. It's honestly because ever since the tick by, I can't grab anything super quickly from a drive-thru. And I mean, like, hamburger. Like, there's not that many things that are like you can eat in your car that you can also get from a drive-thru. Now, what was all that we will talk. We will. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:45:07 I don't know what this is about. declined. I might need to answer that later. Go ahead. Basically, I just can't have a hamburger, which is super easy to eat in the car, so I don't have that many options. So I end up eating just a chick-fil-a-s sandwich by itself.
Starting point is 00:45:19 You don't ever, you don't open it up, put some sauce on. No, I'm driving. Okay. You could, though. I'm telling you. It would be just fine. Putting that sauce in there. I'm right.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Okay. You're saying like kind of like quickly before I leave the, you know, drive-thru, just like. or I'm a yeah I'm a fan I'm a fan of pull up a little bit look up and see if there's anybody behind you
Starting point is 00:45:44 look up in the rear view you're in the end zone yeah or stoplight don't if there's a will there's a way you heard that we will we will we weigh this is snowball chick filet sauce is hard to spread
Starting point is 00:45:58 but get the little honey roast of barbecue nice easy quick spread but yeah I just think chick filet is not going to move the needle nearly as much without the sauce for me. Like, of course it's not bad. Can you think of a chicken restaurant that you love without their sauce?

My wife and I are having a debate, and it was great. You know, green versus gray and all the women in the comments are mainly saying what his wife said. This is such a, like, marriage thing that I feel like you're never prepared for until it happens. But I feel like so many times, it's crazy how differently you can see things.
Starting point is 00:50:25 And sometimes it is colors. Yeah. Where your wife says something is blue and you swear it's red. And you go, how can we? be this far off. Yeah. I actually, like,
Starting point is 00:50:35 are you messing with me? No, okay, I'm not messing with you. Okay, we both agree. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:39 You think this is white and you think this is blue. Yes. It's like, those are just so different colors. Yeah. Not even, like opposite ends of the spectrum,
Starting point is 00:50:48 basically. And more recently, we had something, Rachel thought something happened two days ago and I thought it happened two weeks ago. Oh, and I go, man,
Starting point is 00:50:55 that is so far off. How one of you is really wrong? How are we both so sure of something? It's just funny. that happens. I do that a lot when like, I'm like, oh, that guy looks like Jake. No. Are you, how do you? I've never been right about that. That's, you're not even close. That doesn't even look kind of like Jake. Oh, especially if I say it about a girl or someone like, hey, that kind of looks like your friend. Well, do not tell her that. All right. Uh, dude. Um, that's interesting. Some, let me see. I just got a text. Let's see. What in the world? This, so, So there's a hard money lender.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Okay. Remember that one time I answered and I was like, I'm pretty sure this person's AI. Yeah. I think there's a guy in their company that listens to the podcast. What in the world. Hey, Brad. This is Ethan Brian.
Starting point is 00:51:45 I work with Haley over here at Kiavi. Funny story. I was actually listening to the pod when she called and you answered her while recording. I immediately sent her the link and told her to fast forward to that portion. Been listening to you and Jake for the past handful of years. When I initially heard you were looking, working on a flip, I searched our system. It was stoked to see we fund it for you.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Saw both loans paid off last week. Congrats. I'm sure that feels good. That's fun. That's funny. So yeah, he's a ghosty and he's like, wait,
Starting point is 00:52:10 that's a girl I work with. That's not AI. That's not AI. Because she sent me like an email. Did I tell you about that? No. I promise I'm not AI. I was like,
Starting point is 00:52:18 how big is our podcast here? This is wild. Shout out Ethan. What's up, dude? Sorry, I missed your call. I was like,
Starting point is 00:52:24 I'm not answering that right now. I'm not talking loans. How does it feel to have the loan paid off? It feels great. Yeah, it feels really, really good. I am about.
Starting point is 00:52:32 to buy another house, though. So just one after another. I mean, to tell you, you got a lot of money in the Ghostrunner's bank account. Take a little. Okay. I might need to.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yeah, I think there's a lot in there. Really? That's yours. Okay. Yeah, I know. Who knows, dude? Connor's like, that wouldn't, dude.
Starting point is 00:52:51 That's fun. Anyway, what were we talking about? We're talking about Rachel. Seeing things different ways of two weeks, two months. Dude, okay. Kind of along the same lines. I told Catherine, I thought she looked like a woman in a movie the other day. And she's like, really?
Starting point is 00:53:07 I was like, I mean, I thought that girl was kind of cute. So I'm trying to say, both attractive. Like, look, she's beautiful movie star. I watched a movie that I can no longer say I've never watched anymore. That's how it works. I watched the first Lord of the Rings. Did you really? Timing, let's talk about it.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Sure. Yeah. What the heck? So you know, you know things about Lord of the Rings. even though you've never seen it, Jake. Yes. Lavalus. Very good.
Starting point is 00:53:35 It's like essential oil that's sponsored by Legulus. Legulus. Yeah, yeah. I was like, you're pretty close. You shall not pass. Yeah. Little, little, Dimitri. What's his name?
Starting point is 00:53:48 Frodo? Yeah. Is that you're thinking of? Or no, you're thinking of the scary guy? Precious. That's a gollum slash schmigel. Schmeagle. I don't know which one's which.
Starting point is 00:53:58 But it's like the same person. It is the same. Got a split personality. God and Jesus kind of thing. It's exactly the same. Let's not do that. Let's not do that. It was funny, like, how many things like,
Starting point is 00:54:09 oh, yeah, I've heard of Bilbo Baggins. Oh, yeah, I've heard of Gimley. And now you're like, you know, putting it all together, Gandalf the Grey, whatever. Yeah. One thing I knew, but I didn't expect it to be like this, is that it's a trilogy, a.
Starting point is 00:54:22 A.K.A. the end of the first movie doesn't accomplish a darn thing. That's too bad. That, what a waste. Dude, we've been watching it like, it's a TV show. So we've been watching like, you know, 30 minutes at a time, an hour at a time, like throughout the nights. And so jokingly, like, this movie is like about to get over. I don't realize it at the time. And I go, what, is that like the end of the movie?
Starting point is 00:54:46 And all of a sudden it's like directed by Peter Jackson. I was like, what? You're telling me if I was in the theaters, I would have to wait a year to watch more of this. I was fired up, timing. Yeah. Sorry, I didn't do it. Because like Harry Potter is like there's multiple of them, but like everyone kind of has a resolution to it.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Yeah. But maybe like has a little cliffhanger. So what were the books like? Did the books also have a big cliffhanger? I assume. I think so. Yeah. Probably.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Yeah. Yeah. There's three books. Three movies. Dude. Huh. I was I was floored. I was like that's that.
Starting point is 00:55:21 I will say this. Cool movie. Crazy. Okay. Yeah. It's pretty cool. The bad guys, orcs. They're even scarier than the people of fire.
Starting point is 00:55:28 in the hole. They're terrifying, dude. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. I like the little Gimley guy. He's a tiny little dwarf. I can't really remember who Gimley is. Oh, you're not a big Lord of the Rings guy. Well, it's like, I've seen, you don't have ringworm? I'm out of my ringhead phase. It's like, I've seen, actually the first one a few times, but like, okay. It's just been a while. I have a bad memory in general. Fair. But I remember Frodo. I keep on starting the trilogy and then never really fully getting like I don't know. All right. Well,
Starting point is 00:56:00 join in, man. We're watching about 20 minutes a night. Awesome. And it always makes me fall asleep. Okay. Halfway. I mean,
Starting point is 00:56:06 in a nice way. It's like they're good. It's awesome. Yeah. But yeah. You seen like the meme of the guy it's like one does not simply. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:14 I witnessed that. That was the movie one. Yeah. It's kind of fun like stuff like that. But, uh, yeah. I'm a fan.
Starting point is 00:56:21 But I did say last night halfway through, well, we're probably like a quarter of the way through the second one. I did tell Catherine. I was like, this is one of the, this is one of the nerdier things I've ever watched in my life. Like all of a sudden, these trees are just dancing through, not dancing, but like moving
Starting point is 00:56:35 through the forest. Uh-huh. Like, what's, what am I watching here? This is not the NBA playoffs. This is different. Yeah. But I think I'm a fan overall. That's good.
Starting point is 00:56:45 I think, what made you do this? Catherine kind of mentioned it at one point. Like, she referenced something. And I was like, we can watch it if you want to. She's like, seriously? You know, because I think her brothers loved Lord of the Rings. homeschool boys. Come on. Who wouldn't? I did watch it and think Bo would love this. And then I watched a little bit more. I thought, Bo's not ready for this at all. It's kind of scary. It's pretty
Starting point is 00:57:07 intense. Yeah. But I do think Timons a little bit reminds me of Frodo. Okay. And Zach reminds me to Sam. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Sam's a sweet little, like a little bit bigger boy. Just really good friends with Frodo. Gosh, I love Sam so much. Yeah. So it's cat. You just love him more more as it goes on. Really? That's great. Yeah. Anyway, just, I'm a ringworm now.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Okay. Yeah. I watched a movie myself this week. You can consider me a, uh, jackhead. Jackhead. Jack. Yeah, Jack Box. Jack.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Jack. Jack. Jackson. Is that what? By yourself? No. I thought you said you watched a movie yourself. That's what you said.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Watch a movie myself. Sorry about that. You didn't say by myself. Yeah. How was it? Good. Rachel and I were like, let's go to the movies. We haven't done that in a while.
Starting point is 00:57:59 And the showing we could get into was a little later at night. I was a little worried about Rachel falling asleep. So I did a little surprise at the local cinema. It's like, which seat do you want? We've got this, we've got this. We've also got the D-box. Do you guys know about the D-box?
Starting point is 00:58:14 I'm assuming it's like a multi-dimensional or like, does it move around? Is it like Avatar 3 that I experienced? Yeah, kind of poked you. Yeah, D-Box is like a weird name for it. I don't know if it means. dimension box or why even use the word box say chair yeah was it was it enclosed no i wasn't in a box i was in a recliner um but yeah so that was a surprise to rachel i was like i got some special seats
Starting point is 00:58:37 and uh every other seat is black yours are red like a bright red recliner and on the left you've got a couple older on the right you've got like one dial just like forward or back for like how much you want to lean and then you've got another thing that's like intensity levels red yellow or green Okay. And it's just like how much of the D-Box experience you want. And so like green is like with every sound, it's like, okay. Base in your in your pants. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:06 And then with certain, like, when he started moonwalking, my seat is side to side. And I was like, down, down, down, down. I didn't like that because it kind of makes you dizzy a little bit. Like, you know, like your eyes are trying to keep track and it's not that great of an experience. But I did like it kind of in the middle. So the middle is like, give me the noise, don't give me the movement. Okay. I like that.
Starting point is 00:59:27 That seems nice. Like you feel the bass sometimes. Because a lot of the movie is kind of just like, like all those biopics are like, like, let's kind of show off the music a little bit. And so, yeah, there's probably eight full-length songs in there. So yeah, you feel it all. But similar, uh, this movie ended very abruptly. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:59:44 Michael Jackson went in. And of course, I love stuff like this because I get done watching the movie and I am up late, just Googling everything I possibly could about this movie. What was fact? What was fiction? Michael, you know, behind the scenes, this. Apparently they had a lot more plan for this first movie. And they ran into some legal issues with some things in Michael's past.
Starting point is 01:00:03 And we're like, actually, technically, you can't, you can't, you know, touch on this. Oh, interesting. And so that, I guess Act 3 was supposed to be his entire, you know, maybe the 90s or basically, like when the allegations started coming, how he handled all that. And then they had to scrap all that. So I'm sure that's tough once you've already shot the movie. And so, you know, the movie just kind of ends like. bad came out watching perform it
Starting point is 01:00:26 all right thanks you guys this is it it's like 1987 and it's over there's a lot more left I wanted to see him dangle the baby over the railing that's like my only Michael Jackson memory when I was alive
Starting point is 01:00:38 that's all I know about them it's true but still a very very good movie I still really liked it are you now a Michael Jackson fan I'm a jackhead yeah jackbox my dad did the D box
Starting point is 01:00:48 my dad texted me a little bit ago or a few days ago I was like hey if you're still on your 90s And, you know, music kick, here's a few songs you can listen to. And I said, too late. I'm in the 80s now. I listen to Michael Jackson and Jackson 5 now. Okay, okay. Yeah, I'm on my kick. Did they do the Jackson five thing first? They did. Yeah, started the childhood. And it was good, though. I mean, just similar stuff like you, I don't know that much about the Jackson five or Michael Jackson. He was super famous before we were born. And kind of like we talked about the thing last week, anytime someone's mega famous pre-internet, it is kind of fascinating. Like, yeah. The halftime, you. show performance he that his halftime show in which we talked about last week was the only time in history that the half time show had better ratings than the game itself wow like he was just you know such a legend i mean people just wow that's cool really really freaked out about him what happened to the other i know janet jackson what are what are the rats said tito and tito germain okay
Starting point is 01:01:45 oh this is got a goal germane's son played michael jackson the movie same is jafar jackson wow he looks very much like him, but he's not an actor or a musician or anything. And he crushed it. I mean, it really feels like you're watching Michael Jackson. Wow. He destroyed that. It was really good. I've watched a couple interviews with him and like, have you always wanted to do this? And he's like, no, I was trying to go pro and golf. But they said they wanted a Michael for a movie. So I was like, I'll put some, and then he put a lot of work into it. But wow. That's cool. So good movie. But yeah, I think they're, they are doing a part two now. It's like, all right, well, we weren't allowed to do this act three so let's just
Starting point is 01:02:22 okay we'll shoot a new one but it ended and you're just like what huh seriously oh I was I was fired up about lower the rings for a day I wanted a little more I was like so then they there they were I was like great they're finally gonna go destroy that ring and then it ended
Starting point is 01:02:39 but you have you have seen like movies that are in series before yeah yes I honestly don't know yeah I was gonna say I don't know if I can think of any like okay They were like episodic like this. Like this is the first. This is always meant to be the first of many. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:02:56 Like, yeah, I can't think of one that was like so little resolution from the, like, like there were so much just like up in the air at the end of it. Yeah. It is very much a setup. Yeah. That's fair. Because I'm watching The Hunger Games with some friends like, and we're on the third one. And it's like, yeah, it ends and you're like, what in the world?
Starting point is 01:03:15 Like, really? I got to know what happens next. And that one is like called part one. So it's like, that's fair. There you go. Should have called it Lord of the Rings part one. That would have made it okay, I guess. Even then it was like, just give me a little more.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Yeah. But it was a sweet moment. At the end of the first one, it's a sweet moment when Sam decides to come with Broto. Yeah. That's dope. I can't think of a movie like that where it was like I knew going into it was part one. Yeah. I really was like, and imagine not only happening like that, but also it was three and a half hours to lead up to that.
Starting point is 01:03:47 That was what's so hard. It's like, or however long it is. I've been investing a whole week of my night to this. Anyway. So just you and Catherine, just taking a week, just 20 minutes at a time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:59 Knocking out Lord of the Rings. Yeah. It was, it's a dope movie though. There's fun, fun fighting. There's humor. There's somebody that doesn't look that much like Catherine that I thought did.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Whoops. Arwin. I can't think of, I just not, I wish I was more of a ring more. You're not very homeschool, bro. I know. I wish I was a moribing.
Starting point is 01:04:22 I'm asking about Narnia. I might tell you something about that probably. Okay. Yeah. Next movie, maybe. You guys already seen that. What? Not as good.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Let's, let's open up this can of worms real quick. The Christian homeschool, whatever. Oh, Harry Potter. We can't watch that. That's magic. What did I just watch on Lord of the Rings? I've had the exact same thought so many times.
Starting point is 01:04:43 What? There's witches and wizards everywhere. Gandhaw's like, let me use this wizardry spear. kill this bad thing. And it's like, oh, that, now that is allegory.
Starting point is 01:04:54 So we're going to, we're going to be okay with this. Harry Potter, well, it's because in Harry Potter, they were like pony hats or no way. No. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:04 I don't know. I, I want to know the argument back and forth. Who's behind this? Is it big, big book, big publishing? Like,
Starting point is 01:05:11 big Christian? I don't, I don't, I don't necessarily think like, oh, just celebrate sorcery. I think there's real demonic things within magic craft.
Starting point is 01:05:19 Like, yeah. But Lord of the Rings is kind of that way too. So why is that one? Well, but Harry Potter has like, Tolkien's a Christian. So they're for. A scary troll and, or, shoot.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Dang it. Yeah. I don't want to, I don't know. I just want to, yeah, yeah, you're good for you. I'm fine.
Starting point is 01:05:38 You're doing just fine. Yeah. I'm a heaven head. That's where I'm going. Oh, man. Anyway. Um, What else we want to talk about?
Starting point is 01:05:52 What's what I'm talking about? What else we want to talk about? I don't know. I don't really do much this past week. I've played pool more than usual. Yeah? I think ever since Brian from Canada put me on to pool, I'm like, I love playing pool.
Starting point is 01:06:06 I'm a friend Ben has a pool table in his basement. I was there like Monday night and Tuesday night just playing pool. We go in doubles? We go in one-on-one? Usually doubles. Yeah. Because Ben has siblings. or our friends are there.
Starting point is 01:06:18 And yeah, it's fun. What's your style of play? You more of a banger or an angle guy? I'm not good at anything. Okay. But I would say that I'm less of a go super hard. And I'd say I'm a little bit more of like try to think about exactly what's going to happen. I mean, you have to anyway, I guess.
Starting point is 01:06:37 You're setting up your next shot. Oh, no. I can think only about what's happening in the exact moment. I can't think one ball at a time. One, definitely not two steps ahead. I can't think. Because you got to make the first one until... It's like playing any game involving strategy.
Starting point is 01:06:51 I just, I don't know how. Okay. Like, I don't know how. I'm not, and I guess I can't live, I can't think about the future or the past, because I can't remember anything. I don't know. I kind of just exist and that's about it. Very present.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Yeah. Very good. But I do love playing pool. And I had some decent shots sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. You were hit different, like, spots on the cue ball to do different spin. Like, you know, you hit the bottom of it to spin it back.
Starting point is 01:07:17 You were trying to anything like that. I put some backspin before when it's like a crucial eight ball shot. It's like you can't scratch. So yeah. Big time. It's fun though. One of my favorite parts of your Bachelor weekend was that first night of playing pool. That was fun.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Just hilarity. Just 15 dudes all just around one pool table. Only like two people playing. It's all watching. Just laughing at every time someone messed up. Yeah. It was a lot. Yeah, boy, it's time for good ranchers.
Starting point is 01:07:53 Go-Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good ranchers. We don't know. don't know what to say, but we know it's really good that I can pay so much for those meats. The meats comes right to your streets and you eat it, eat it, eat meat, eat that meat and right it to your street. The ranchers, good, good ranchers. That's what they pay us for. I think that's it.
Starting point is 01:08:31 We don't need to do anything else for them. What do you need? What do you need? You need meat delivered right to your door. You go to good ranchers. You need meat that is free from hidden additives and antibiotics. You need go to good rancher.com. You need, you need chicken that's going to taste like chicken.
Starting point is 01:08:45 American farmers. But cut like steak, you need to go to good rancher.com. You need a place to support American farmers. You're going to go to a rancher.com. What else? Free expatri. Shipping $20.00. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Go to go to gregersers.com. You promo go GRKC. GRKC. GRKC. GRKC. GRKC. GRKC. One more time. GR.
Starting point is 01:09:03 Oh. G R. KC. GoodR.Cers. com. Speaking of games, I have a challenge for the ghosties. I'm looking for games to play on my flights to Asia and back. We're talking airplane mode type games. Okay.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Not games where you think like, oh, there's not much to this. You know, yeah, I love playing this game on my phone. Are there ads to it? If I'm on airplane mode, we'll somebody play that game because sometimes they don't. They say, if we can't monetize it, no one gets to play it. Are you willing to invest a little bit on these games? I'd go, I'd, I'd spend $1,000.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Yeah. Okay. I'd do one powder keg ride per game. I'd do a powder keg ride, yeah. Let me know, your favorite little games on your phone and iPad. What would you, would you prefer more, um, like logic kind of games versus like, like, like, kind of like video game, like quests or like shooter games or something like that? That's a good question. I don't think I want a quest.
Starting point is 01:10:02 I don't think I want to shoot. There's a very simple game called Dune. where you just like Timothy Chalemay have to like it's it's very simple it's not you don't have to think it's just like
Starting point is 01:10:12 it's I guess like just timing and skill you like you can't hit the ramp wrong or you die those are funny I've played a game like this badly

Starting point is 01:10:34 you're done temple run Oh, yeah. Okay. I kind of grew up on Temple Run. Did you? It was like one of the, like on the iPad. You know about doodle jump?
Starting point is 01:10:42 I do. Not much. That was like, remind me. That was an iPod touch. That was big when I was like seven probably, I think. Okay. Before I even had a smart phone, I had an iPod touch and that was the thing on there. So probably 2006 or so, 2007, like doodle jump.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Okay, so when I was one, it was big. Yeah. That's what I meant. What do you do, though? I stood the test of time. All you did was just turn the screen and this guy would just bounce and you would go, higher and higher in the air and you try to keep landing on the platform. Okay.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Some platforms, not all platforms are created equal. No, of course not. What about trivia crack? Does that work? Bluetooth. Bluetooth to Bluetooth? You and Scott? Bluetooth to Bluetooth.
Starting point is 01:11:19 Yeah. One device to another. You want to Bluetooth up? I forgot about trivia crack. I'll be doing all the travel by myself. I don't have a buddy for any of my flights. Have you talked about this on the podcast? How you're going to Asia?
Starting point is 01:11:31 I don't know. Probably. You want to tell me again? It's hard to keep track. Hello, Brad. I'm going to Asia. Really? Oh, dude.
Starting point is 01:11:38 Yeah. On May 7th, I will fly to Salt Lake City, and then I will fly to Japan, and then I will fly to Kuala Lumpur. Okay. And I will spend about a week in Malaysia. That's where Kuala Lumpur is. Thank you. Honestly.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Did you know? No. Me neither. Wait, are you going? I was. Not anymore. Maybe in October, pretend? Per tamp.
Starting point is 01:12:01 Yeah, yeah. Per tamp. I don't know, pertance. why aren't you the other guys are going a different time yeah we're all going at different times going to different countries oh really funny yeah i mean it's all going to be you're not like you're going to on like on the street by yourself like we will all meet up at various times but i mean it's just it's uh hodgepodge like isaac and mad are going to go to china they're going to be the only two to go to china like scott and isaac are going to fly back to vietnam they're going to be some only two in
Starting point is 01:12:26 vietnam you know so it's just like but me and kyle are getting there early to malaysia oh right like we all might share a couple days in each country with each other but i'm not going to Vietnam. I'm not going to China. I'm doing Malaysia. And then as of yesterday, I'm going to spend like 36 hours in the Philippines. For a little Fifth Avenue. Little Fifth Ave. Rollout. Rollout. So you're the only one, you and Kyle? Yeah, but he already left. Him and his fiance are kind of doing a little like vacation. Like, let's go travel Southeast Asia. So they left last night. Dude, this is mysterious. This is the last thing I saw before I, like, laid my head on my pillow at night. Kyle texted me at 10.54 p.m. And his location,
Starting point is 01:13:05 of the time was the Vancouver airport. So I don't know if he's like, are you in the airport? Is this where your iPhone last knew where you were? Okay. And he said, and I hadn't texted him anything. There was no current conversation going on. He just goes, I can't wait to hear jealous. I can't wait to hear jealous.
Starting point is 01:13:24 And I see before I go to bed and go, that doesn't make any sense, but I'm so tired. I'm sure I'll wake up to more context or a follow-up text or a typo. Can't wait to hear jealous. Obviously, the first thing I thought of was the Nick Jonas song, jealous. Now, we've never talked about that. That's always about 11 years old.
Starting point is 01:13:39 Not, not brand new. So he's probably, yeah, maybe. It's like, why would that be what he's talking about? We have never talked about Nick Jonas before. I can't wait to hear jealous. It's the only text you sin before you get on a 16 hour flight. What has it been solved yet? No, he's still on the flight.
Starting point is 01:13:57 What's the, no punctuation? No punctuation. It's been exactly 12 hours. Um, the text, the text, before it happened like almost, you know, an entire morning before. He had sent me voice memos about some content stuff and I said, love it. Can't wait to get my Asian Osmo and film everything. This new camera came out. It's not available in United States, but it kind of works out. I can buy it when I'm in Asia. That's cool. They sell out there. Yeah, really convenient.
Starting point is 01:14:24 So that's what I'm referring to. Can't wait to get my Asian Osmo and just film everything. We were talking about we need to be filming much more when we're just playing pickleball. I can't wait to hear jealous. do you think he was like about to say something I can't wait to blah blah blah and then he got like jumped or just like the plane was taking off
Starting point is 01:14:43 oh I forgot I need to take shake before he take off and it can't he's like I'll just send this before I send anything turn it up okay I mean I think it's just a matter of decoding where the typos are because that's probably right
Starting point is 01:14:55 like Kyle texts me on Tuesday asking for some like pictures or no I sent him a folder of some kind and he was like this MSG reet exclamation point which I interpreted and then than you
Starting point is 01:15:08 wow this Madison Square Garden that's really bad this Madison Square Garden reet than you or oh goodness this guy's got hurry fan you so
Starting point is 01:15:17 and then never addressed it or edited it this looks great I think it's this is great this is because I think it's this MS it's just MSG is all one and then reet but I think it's this
Starting point is 01:15:28 accidentally hit M instead of I is and then no space g space rate okay and then then you then you i don't know what that could be i don't know what that was yeah like than than thananos oh like marvel maybe do they end abruptly and believe you want more can't wait to hear jealous okay can't wait to hear jealous can't wait to i put this in chat you bt just like what is the typo here and the best it can give me was uh autocorrect from Either Deets, Jesus, or Details. So he's about to meet Jesus.
Starting point is 01:16:08 His plane's going down. Details is not terrible, I guess. Details makes slightly more sense, but not really, like hours later. How bad is he at texting, though? This is great. It's not even close to this MSG REIT either. Like the M and the I are not even close. He might be just on another plane of, like,
Starting point is 01:16:31 he might just know. things we don't. Maybe he meant to say this ms greet. He might know. Can't wait to hear jealous. So I will follow up when I hear back. What did that mean? And is his plane on its way down?
Starting point is 01:16:47 Yeah, I mean, I just I was like, oh, that makes no sense, but yeah, I'm going to bed. Can't wait to hear. Then I wake up to nothing? Yeah, that's... No follow up? RBC Training Ground has discovered potential in over 20,000 Canadian athletes and county. Your story
Starting point is 01:17:02 it could be next. If you've got the drive, they'll help you find your path to the Olympics. Let's see what you've got. Sign up for free at rbc training ground.ca. I've been using that whisper thing. Oh, how do you like it? It's fine. I thought when I, the way I understood it, I thought it was going to change what I said more. Like, in other words, like, I'm looking for some, you know, I'm trying to like send this email and I'm trying to get this information out and then they would like rewrite it for me. Oh, I see. I see. I see, I see. It basically just punctuated it for me. I see. You're speaking like a caveman?
Starting point is 01:17:39 No, I'm not speaking like a caveman, time. No, I know, no. Email friend. Tell him good news. Hi, Steve. Brad, here. I go church with you. No, but it was like, I mean, it takes out the ums and like you can be like, actually say this is, you know, but it does it. It still says what I said, which, whereas like, if I said this. It's got a full AI summary of what you said. Yeah, if I, like, prompted it in chat, GBT to do the same thing, it would shoot out something more professional or like, whatever. But I still have used it a decent amount.
Starting point is 01:18:10 Yeah, that's fair. Every once in a while, it makes bullet points for me. Okay. I'm like, I don't know if I needed it right there. And then I'll have to just like apologize to the next text. I'm like, I'm not going back and not sending that. But hey, sorry, using this thing. Whisper.
Starting point is 01:18:23 It's fine. Yeah. You get on a little bit of a roll though, and it does kind of feel like, all right, I'll keep using it. I'm cranking. Yeah. Yeah. So I would definitely use if I were in Scotch shoes. doing all those tickets and stuff.
Starting point is 01:18:35 Desktop. Yeah, pretty cool overall. Pretty cool. So, anyway. Hey, good timing. I just saw a review of the week come in. No, you didn't. Via email while we were recording.
Starting point is 01:18:50 You serious? I'm serious. Seriously? Let me go ahead and show you the proof. Gosh, why can I? You serious, Clark? I can't find it. That's okay.
Starting point is 01:19:00 I got too many email addresses. I've got my own little Friday. pickle email address set up. Kind of fun. Wow, this one's long. Well, buckle up. All right. You better make sure it's appropriate.
Starting point is 01:19:15 Check and see if it has any bad words. Put my glasses on and run hats off. I just bowed. Heads closed. All right, let's just go for it. Taylor Blount. Any guesses on gender? Taylor Blount's a girl.
Starting point is 01:19:30 Boy. Hey, Jake Bradton. Coward. I've been a good. Ghosty since 2019 have left a couple reviews over the years. Five stars. I had a sweet story from the pot I wanted to share, but didn't want to leave a whole paragraph of Spotify comments.
Starting point is 01:19:43 I haven't heard of anyone sharing my ghosty origin story, but I started listening to the pod in 2019, almost from the very beginning. I went to college with Ty Gatewood. Fun. Now, while we weren't friends in the same year, we had a lot of overlapping friends at OU. Boomer.
Starting point is 01:19:59 One of my friends who was close to the Thai would share a lot of the content on her social media about Ellen, we bought a limo. and I was instantly hooked on y'all's YouTube videos and spent hours that summer watching their adventure across the country. This isn't the story I wanted to share. I'll promise I'll get to it.
Starting point is 01:20:13 A year later, I graduated college, started a job where I was traveling a lot in the car all day, every day. Jacob posted something on Instagram about starting a podcast with his friend Brad, and I thought might as well check it out. So I was tired of listening to the Bobby Bone show every morning in the car like a boomer.
Starting point is 01:20:26 I instantly loved the humor and it felt like a spin-off of sorts to Elmby by a LMO with new characters. Pod quickly became my favorite part of the day. I know you get this, lot, but your consistency is in showing up each week for us ghosties means more you could possibly know. The joy from listening to the ghost owners has helped me get through a lot over the years. From losing my grandma, family challenges, the pandemic, and a number of other things I'm sure
Starting point is 01:20:47 a lot of us ghosties could list. When I struggled with knowing what was coming next to my life, I knew I had the podcast to help encourage me every week no matter what was going on. It is also so special to feel like you have a long, you have long distance friends that you get to celebrate in their wins and milestones as I am living through my own wins and milestones. from Puddle City to Jake and Rachel getting married. It felt like we've all grown up together. I was also in grad school for social work the same time as Rachel was for counseling. And I feel like we were truly in the trenches together without even knowing her.
Starting point is 01:21:14 I convinced my husband, we still don't know. To start listening to the pod and we have so many inside jokes that we often forget have come from Jake and Brad. God is without a doubt working through the three of you to bring light and joy to at times a very dark and difficult world. to finish my long and drawn out story review comment, I was listening to the pot as usual this last Monday, but didn't end up finishing the last few minutes until Wednesday morning before we started the new episode.
Starting point is 01:21:42 I woke up on Wednesday feeling the weight of it being my grandma's birthday who had passed away the year I started listening to the podcast. That day's end it with him was how great thou art, which happened to be my grandma's favorite song. It was such a sweet reminder of God's kindness and love and to think it may never happen if Spotify didn't reprimand you guys for copywriting. That's good way of looking at it.
Starting point is 01:22:01 Wow. It was very short moment. That meant a lot to me on a difficult day. I just wanted to share this one example of the joy that the podcast has brought me, knowing there are so many more examples from other goceses as well. Boom, chap, boom, babum, chap. Taylor, Blount. Wow.
Starting point is 01:22:13 Thank you, Taylor. That's awesome. That last story is so cool. Boom, chap to you as well. Yeah, that's really cool. Oh. Oh. And, chap.
Starting point is 01:22:23 Hey. And you've been chapped. That is a cool. Tyson, Tyson, Tatum. Yeah, thanks, Taylor. Tyson Tatum. Boy, girl. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Yeah, maybe Tyson slash Tatum. Thankful for a shorter commute, five-star review. First, I would like to say thank you to Jake Brad and my boy, timing, for always bringing laughs to my life daily for the last four years. Recently, my wife and I moved, and now my commute to work is 30 minutes instead of an hour. Now, instead of blown through the latest podcast episode in one day, I get to hear Ghostrunners every single day. Thank you, gentlemen, for your commitment to joy, friendship, and pursue the Lord every day.
Starting point is 01:22:59 Also, a song that I didn't allow out my wedding, should have said no. by Taylor Swift. Really? Definitely would have sent the wrong message. That's funny. I didn't get that at first. Yeah. I should have said no.
Starting point is 01:23:11 Thanks, Tyson. Ticebug. Ticebug. Yeah. Ticewater. What's Ticebug from? I don't know. It just seems so random to me.
Starting point is 01:23:21 I don't know why you said bug. What is Ticebug from, y'all? Scott probably knows somehow, some way. Ticebug. His nephew's name is Tyson. I wonder if we called him Ticebug. I like Tyson chicken. I like Ticewater. Ticewater.
Starting point is 01:23:36 Anyway, thank you, Tyson. Could be Flyswater, could be ice water. All right, you guys went in it with him? Yeah, sure. What page? No clue. Timon nailed the page last week. Okay, was that real?
Starting point is 01:23:46 Yeah. That's pretty impressive. That's just like... That's crazy. I was so glad that someone else caught that. Because what Jesse Plattner put in the Facebook group... He posts that, and I thought he had AI done that. Oh, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:23:59 Nice job, timing. You nailed it. In like the Hems of Zion. AC hymnal, like, how great they are, is always taped in the back because it wasn't in the original printing. It's number 302. Okay. Yeah. Cool.
Starting point is 01:24:11 That was funny. Can you, Brad, can you think of, like, request people have done? Because I feel people keep, like, do you know Days of Elijah? I saw that was a request recently. Yeah? You know, that was pretty fun. You know that song? I don't think I do.
Starting point is 01:24:23 You would not think it's called that. Well, I guess the first words are, these are the days of Elijah. But, huh. I bet you've heard it. All right. have that got confidence. Give me a little tempo for your time. All right.
Starting point is 01:24:36 Like a... These are the days of Elijah declaring the word of the Lord. And these are the days of your servant, Moses, righteousness being. restored. And though these are days of great trials of famine and darkness and sword, still we are the voice in the desert, crying, prepare ye the way of the Lord. Behold he comes, riding on the clouds, shining like the sun at the trumpet's call. So lift your voice as the year of Jubilee, and out of Zion's Salvation comes. Pretend I'm moonwalking.
Starting point is 01:25:41 D-box! D-box, engage. Do you know that song now? The chorus? No. Really? I don't know. If so, I don't know it.
Starting point is 01:25:56 Calls himself a head-in-head. I don't deserve that anymore. Yeah. Strip that away from him. A couple of Liza heads. That's a fun one. Call you a heavenhead. Yeah, here he goes off about heavenheading.
Starting point is 01:26:09 That's no date for a lot. Oh my. Fun, fun, fun, fun. Good job, time. Thanks. Great, so. Good job, Brad. I think Wednesday's episode is going to be heavy on a, I feel like I've gotten a lot
Starting point is 01:26:20 of fun inbound stuff from Ghosties that I want to share with the rest of the ghosties. Emails, songs. Do you see that? No. Okay, I haven't listened to it. There was a girl emailed in and said, it says a song for Tyman and I go, I'm not touching it. I'm not touching it.
Starting point is 01:26:36 I'm not listening to it. I don't know what this is. I haven't listened to this. I haven't seen this. Fun. So Wednesday will be a lot of their content, I feel like. Let's go. Great.
