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.
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.
This is fine.
Timon, hello, dude.
I haven't seen you.
Yes.
What's up?
While.
Yep.
No, yeah.
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.
Sweet.
Yeah, there we go.
There's good.
Yeah, perfect.
Okay.
I see you now.
Okay, dude, what's new?
Oh, shoot.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh, wait, but there's a guy with a flip phone.
Okay, so it can't be that recent.

But I truly, because every time I go, 19, gosh, I don't know, 78.
And I go, yep, you nailed it.
I go, what?
You nailed it.
About three days now.
I mean, not every time.
Yeah.
But I'm like, this is, gosh.
How am I doing this?
Is this my?
calling? Do I need to be doing this? No, but I think I'm actually getting lucky. But no, it's fun.
It's fun game. It's kind of a, you know, proving the iPhone face thing. Like, if you see people,
do they look like they look like they heard a bad bunny? So time guesser's fun too. Okay.
Time guesser. Dot g-gueser. I don't even know. Time guesser doesn't have all the vowels in it
probably or something like that. I got the app now. Oh, okay. Look at you. Does MapTap
have an app? Oh, yeah. Map App App tap. Really? Oh, yeah. I'm going to text Catherine to have
The map, any higher resolution on that one?
It's not.
Okay.
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.
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.
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
not swapping phones we're we don't even we don't have the same last name yet we don't share anything
How'd you get my iCloud into your app store?
Yeah, that is interesting.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Okay, not anymore.
He quit.
Great.
Yeah, so don't X-ray anything anymore.
Justin, get your job back.
Justin.
We need it.
He's now working for a guy
selling premiumoutdoorgrills.com.
So if you need outdoor grills guy.
He's selling domain names?
He's got one domain name.
He's selling one right now
and then he'll kind of snowballes way to both of them.
It's like, yeah, the pursuit of happiness.
Like he just needs to sell one.
a year.
Just one of these dumb things.
Yeah.
He's,
yeah, he's working for the same guy
that works for elite.
Or, nope, ace.
Ace is the place.
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
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?
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.
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
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
She actually, actually, she code.
remind me a lot of Angie Coop.
Okay.
Yeah.
Daveyne.
So whatever age that is.
59.
59?
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, come to Gulf Shores.
If you're on the fence, go to ghostrunners.
Live slash travel.
Check it out.
We got rooms galore for you.
for a few.
Brad, what does this paddle make you think of?
Blue sky, ocean.
Or the ocean in the sky together with the color blue,
pickleball.
That's right.
Yes.
And we are presented by Main Street Roasters.
That's right.
And they also sell things.
Yes.
You might be dinking.
Wait a second.
Why you put up that paddle for Main Street Roasters.
They're a coffee company.
They are here to serve you.
Let me.
Sorry.
No, you beat me to it.
My bad, dude.

Dude, impromptu Branson trip.
Okay, just out of nowhere.
A little bit.
Catherine and I had talked about it.
Like, it'd be fun to, like, do a little family vacation, family trip.
We did it last year.
But it just kept being like, yeah, maybe we'll go.
And then we had sewage.
And then it was like, maybe, you know, whatever.
This things kept coming.
And then finally was just like, let's just, what if we should go today?
Let's just go and go to Silver Dollar City tomorrow and come back.
And that's what we did.
And it was awesome.
It was so much fun.
Shout out Caleb Sullivan for hooking up the run.

on a Saturday. Boy, was that a mistake. Yeah. Why we're homeschooling? Why are we,

I probably said at least 10 times. This is amazing. This is awesome. Do you remember last year how this
whole road was so crazy? Yeah, no one's here. Remember last year how this line was so long? Remember last
year how we had to use that trailblazer pass just to get into flooded mine and now we can

Where'd you eat?
You mean,

We went to the new place

That sounds awesome.
Yeah.
Like,
Natalie's like,

Yeah.
So we had that.
Haddie,

Uh, Natalie hooked us up with this VIP drink cup, unlimited drinks.
That's nice.
You're just drunk with power with that thing.
Would you go with?
Everything.
Yeah, a little bit of.
Name the time.
It was a different thing.
I mean, we went with coffee.
We went with there's there.
We had, we had, you know, soda.
We had slushy, whatever.
Just fill it up.
That's so funny.
Hey, dump out the rest of that coffee.
I'm going to get a Coke slushing.
It was awesome, dude.
It was amazing.
It's like, yeah.
Just fill it up halfway.
I'm just going to try it and see if I like it.
I'll fill it up some more, you know.
It was a nice.
It was amazing.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
It's like apocalyptic type storm or something.
Yeah.
Because they always, they always speculate.
Uh,
grapefruit size hail.
Yeah.
Nothing happens.
Yeah.
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?
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
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
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?
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.
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?
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
medium water.
And is there anything
I could do
to make that
a large water
or large fry today?
I go,
no, no,
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?
What would it take?
What would it take?
It's like,
huh,
I don't know.
Free?
Yeah,
that's how I would absolutely
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,
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,
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Because my lack of like...
You eat the fries, no sauce?
Sorry.
Here?
Continue.
I'm so...
Me out.
Sorry.
We will.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I'm...
We will.
Yeah.
I'll shut up.
We will.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
Nope. Maybe this is the nature of chicken.
I think so.
Nope. Yeah, I agree.
Just in general. I really just sauce. I always want sauce.
You like sauce. I love sauce.
I love sauce, dude.
Rachel likes sauce. She makes fun of me for the lack of sauce,
dressing, sauce, you name it. If it's a liquid,
I don't have enough on there. Chips, you go chips.
If chips and sauce are around,
You just mainly go chips?
No, sorry, I will do the salsa.
I will do the queso, but Rachel is doing it like, you know, she's going to be,
she's on death row tomorrow.
Like, let's load up.
Like, if there's, nothing else matters.
If there's a bowl of guac, I will eat as much as you let me.
Like, I'll put, I'll put half the guac on one chip.
Like, yeah.
Like the little cups at Chipotle of guac, it's like, that's good for, you know, three.
Three chips worth.
Yeah.
That's funny.
And you're, whereas you're like, just getting the essence.
sense of the salsa. Here in there, here and there, Rich, you're not even tasting it.
Yeah, it's good. That's funny. Oh, man.

but those bed sheets were not very cozy.
They were not breathable like cozy earth.
That's the most fun thing about coming home
is coming home to cozy earth bed sheets.
Rachel's going to be out of town this weekend.
Oh, I'm going to bed sheet it up.
I don't always wake up with the bed.

Other things with couples that I wrote down.
someone in the Facebook group, Eric Schreier, maybe,
posted like, hey, what color are my shoes?
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.
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,
are you messing with me?
No,
okay,
I'm not messing with you.
Okay,
we both agree.
Really?
Yeah.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
how big is our podcast here?
This is wild.
Shout out Ethan.
What's up,
dude?
Sorry,
I missed your call.
I was like,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's three books.
Three movies.
Dude.
Huh.
I was I was floored.
I was like that's that.
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.
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,
join in, man.
We're watching about
20 minutes a night.
Awesome.
And it always makes me fall asleep.
Okay.
Halfway.
I mean,
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Okay.
Yeah.
I watched a movie myself this week.
You can consider me a, uh, jackhead.
Jackhead.
Jack.
Yeah, Jack Box.
Jack.
Jack.
Jack.
Jackson.
Is that what?
By yourself?
No.
I thought you said you watched a movie yourself.
That's what you said.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Go to go to gregersers.com.
You promo go GRKC.
GRKC. GRKC.
GRKC.
GRKC.
GRKC.
One more time.

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.
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.
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.
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
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
flying wings or something like that
is this like you
you hold down the screen
when you want gravity
to be stronger
yes
oh yeah it's a classic
it's a fun one
those are fun
you could waste
they get only minutes
20 minutes is good
yeah
Temple Run
is it still doing it
how's tiple run
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Did you know?
No.
Me neither.
Wait, are you going?
I was.
Not anymore.
Maybe in October, pretend?
Per tamp.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hey.
And you've been chapped.
That is a cool.
Tyson, Tyson, Tatum.
Yeah, thanks, Taylor.
Tyson Tatum.
Boy, girl.
Yeah.
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.
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.
Thanks, Tyson.
Ticebug.
Ticebug.
Yeah.
Ticewater.
What's Ticebug from?
I don't know.
It just seems so random to me.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Let's make it happen.
We'll see you guys Wednesday.
Thank you for supporting our sponsors, as always.
Come to the Ghostrunners Getaway.
Yeah, I mean, look.
Among other things.
Look at that coffee.
Look at the coffee.
So clear you could drink it like water.
You could.
Yeah.
Either way, great mug.
Great glass.
We were presented by Mainster Roasters as always.
Yep, good glass.
Yeah.
We love you guys.
We'll see you a Wednesday.
Bye, pedal.
See you.
My pedal.
