Good morning ghosties today. Today, for some reason, the fact that you said today, like it just caught me off guard that you just extended a little bit longer than you needed to. It felt like, yeah, Vietnam had three syllables. And then I, so I pushed it and I went four instead. And I would do differently if I could. Go ahead. Good morning.

Ghosties. Hey. Okay, okay, okay, okay. A little better. what would you do? I really liked the first time. I might have done more syllables. Okay, let's hear it.

Good morning, ghosties today. How we doing? Good. How are we doing good? I'm trying to think of the clip. I don't know Seinfeld. You're a Seinfeld guy. Okay.

But there's a clip in there about them double dipping. Okay. I can remember that? A little bit. I'm not. Like they give George a hard time for double dip. This other guy does. But the way he says it,

instead of saying like you don't dip and then you dip, I don't know, the way he says it is like a little bit unexpectedly shorter than you think it's supposed to be and it makes it funny. It's like you dip once and then you stop. I don't know like the way he said it. So, oh, good morning.

Howdy Ellis. Oh. Good morning. No it all. Uh, uh, oh, oh, I think this tight. It means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat

But besides that. And Sloan found, um,

Goat poop. Goat poop. That counts. How'd you know it was goat poop? Because mom has an app on her phone and she took a picture of it and she told us that it was goat poop. Your mom has a poop identification app on her phone? No, it's a nature identification app. No, it could do more than just poop.

It could do leaves too. Yep. Yep, exactly. You should ask your dad about the time he was hiking in Colorado. and thought he saw a black bear, but it was just a dog in someone's backyard. See if he remembers that. Do you remember the time in Colorado

where you were hiking and you saw a back there and it was just a dog? Yes. We were so convinced. Where did that black bear? He's fetching that frisbee. The dog. I did have a moment like that again.

Hey, that's a deer. It's like, no, that's just a person. but a baby moose that's pretty cool yeah but I couldn't figure out what was what on the baby moose what do you mean? It was far away oh yeah that's probably good okay

I feel like usually they say in nature it's not good to run into the baby of anything because the mama's around and she won't like it but I don't have a nature identification what do I I know. Addie, if there's a kid listening right now, a nine-year-old girl, let's say, and they're like one book that I have, that Hattie would recommend for me to read, what would you say?

I don't know. They're all so good. Just give them one. You can always come back and say another one some other time. Nancy Drew, and don't ask me to choose a number. They're all so good. Don't you ask her. Don't ask her.

All right, Hattie, last question. What if you're a 34-year-old man and you're looking to read a book, which one would you recommend? Any adult books. Nancy Drew again probably? Yeah. Maybe. Sweet.

I don't know. I haven't read. All right. I'll read Nancy Drew. Thank you. All right. You ready to be done? Yeah.

Okay. Say bye to Mr. Jake. Bye, bye. Sure. Please. Be my hype girl. All right. Anyway, sorry about that nuisance back here.

Um, Bose has been getting in the audio versions of Encyclopedia Brown. Oh, yeah. You'd be excited about that. Oh, yeah. Everyone's the way he talks about Bugs Meeny. Bugs Meeny.

Bugs Meeny. I hate that guy. Yeah. I hate that guy. Oh. Gosh. Um, what you want to talk about, Jake?

Rachel came to me recently and said, um, I've been reflecting. I've been reflecting on my love languages. And I've always thought it was, was quality time, but I don't know if that's right. I go, no, yours is definitely quality time. She goes, well, I was thinking, I think it's actually quantity time.

He's like, I don't even care if it's quality. I don't care if it's like good. We didn't have to chat. I just want to be nearby. Okay. Yeah, it doesn't have to be. Yeah, quality, it's just time. Just time.

Yep. Great time. Okay. And it makes sense because early on in our marriage, you might remember, I compared Rachel to a dog, which I think is something that any good husband should do. Yeah. She sheds a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Just got that dog, dog in her. Because she would just follow me around the house. She'd follow me into the bathroom. I say, it's going to stink. She's like, I don't care. I just want to be next to you. You know, three years into marriage, she's still, she's still dogging it.

Just all over the house. Follow me. Where are you? You know? And I'm like, this is kind of making sense. It's a quantity time thing. Yeah. That's great. That's literally a dog. Like the dog just one. be there. Yeah, I just want to lay next to your feet. And get so excited when you come home from vacation, probably. Like, oh, he's back. Yeah. Yeah.

Interesting. Okay. So she just wants to, she's okay. That's honestly awesome because then you can just do all your work, but just, hey, just, have you ever seen, you obviously know Robert Griffin? RG3 has a podcast, or at least he used to. Have you seen this? He records it like you would, right?

Like, just like a webcam like this. And literally his wife is just. just sitting in the background the entire time. Oh, really? Yeah. So maybe we need to just have Rachel just like, hey, come on. Just come sit back there. You would love it.

Yeah, dude. Like literally just all the time. Just sitting back there not doing a thing. He hasn't addressed her or anything. She's just sitting there on this chair, I think. I don't know. That's what Rachel is doing right now 15 feet from me. So you are not far off.

Yeah. So I don't know. This woman is actually, I think. I can't remember exactly what she looks like, but I think she kind of looks like Rachel, but she's European. Maybe Swedish?

Very, very possible that she's Swedish. That's fun. Quality time or time. Are you a time guy? Are you like a, is there a limit of like, I got to have some alone time now?

I like a little. Put her in her kennel. I like a little time. I like words. I came up with, of realization of the other day, kind of like hers, I said instead of like, you know, what of the love language is like physical touch? I said that mine is probably not quality of touch, it's quantity of touch. Okay. I think that's my love language, just like a nice.

Like a mount of body touched at once? I wouldn't say a mount. I heard of like lay on top of you. No, I think it's just every pass, you know, a kitchen, island, hallway, stairs, walking by you on the couch, just a nice little head scratch. Mm-hmm. that's good just an acknowledgement kind of thing i remember when i opened for uh opened is maybe not the right term it was like a church conference thing but ted cunningham who's like a pastor and speaker or whatever he was like giving marriage advice and he was he said that psychology says your spouse and you should exchange 12 non-sexual touches every day and i remember thinking i am blowing that out of the water check check and triple check yeah yeah

Not a problem, buddy. Okay, so you... Yeah, quantity touches me. You are the quantity of toucher to her. Yeah. And you're like, please, please... She's a dog. I pet her constantly.

I'm realizing now this is just truly just a man and dog relationship. Do you guys like go to the park? Yeah, we do. I bring a football. She doesn't usually catch it, but I mean, she'll go grab it pretty quick and just throw right back. She'll go bounding after it once it stops rolling. Yeah.

Hates the four. of July, dude. It was rough this year, man. I don't know what we're going to do with their next year. It's fun. Like, when I go out of town, like, she has some good friends, like Kyle's fiancé Ashley. So, like, she just stays at her house.

Like, she stays at her house. Her parents around? No, her parents went to go live on a farm a while back. And he never been around too much anymore. another um non or you know outside of the top five level languages that i've realized rachel has and you tell me if you think this is i don't think this is a necessarily just a woman thing but i think this is maybe somewhat common in uh relationship is i would say what what of rachel's love languages is sharing food okay and it's like so important to her like it came up yesterday i stopped at a smoothie

spot i was like texting her like rachel do you want me get anything he's like all just have a couple bites of whatever you're having. I was like really I'll get you your entire own thing. She's like I'd really rather just share with you. I'm like I'll get you exactly what I got that way it could feel like I'd rather just share with you. I say okay. Does that fire you up a little bit? Do you have a hard time with that? I did end up getting her a second smoothie. But for the most part, No, it's kind of fun just like how much it means to her for me to just like take some of her Brussels sprouts. You wanted some of my side? That's awesome. And do you think that's, do you think that's her like wanting, yeah, like wanting you to want like to share the experience?

Because honestly, I'm the opposite. I'm the one that's always like, I don't want what you got ice cream wise, but I do want to see what the, you know, jitterbug concrete tastes like. and Catherine's always rolling her eyes like, I don't want yours. Like I, can we just go back? That is the perfect name. Like if you know Andy's and like no like the dumb crap, they're always coming up with every summer. Jitterbug is the perfect name for a concrete they would come up with. Jitterbug, dude.

What is that word even? espresso and chocolate. You know, whatever it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but I'm like, I just want to, I don't want to. I don't want to. want a whole concrete that's raspberries and hot fudge.

But I wouldn't mind, you know, dipping my toe in that water real fast before I go back to my chocolate and Reese's pieces, you know, and Catherine's always, she lets me, but sometimes I can just tell she doesn't like it. And it's not because I'm like trying to share in her experience with her necessarily. I just want, I just want a little sliver or something.

I don't want to wonder what it tastes like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My dad was pretty good at like, and by good, I mean, the worst at just, he would finish his fries and then he'd go after yours a little bit. Like, not like crazy. Like he understood like, hey, those are your fries, but like, you're not going to, you're going to say anything if I take like five of them. You know, the little dad text before dad texts was a thing. But so he was, yeah, I'm sure he was trying my stuff a lot. But anyway, okay. Go see. Feel free to let me know. Like you're not. You never ask her. Like, like, you never ask her. Like, can I share your food? It doesn't even cross my mind. It's like, no, I ordered what I want and I got it. I'm probably not even going to finish mine anyway.

Yeah, I'm rarely sharing. But when it does happen, yeah, it makes her world. I will say, yeah, in Colorado, like Catherine was texting me like, she was going to get some paninis. And I looked at the minis. And I looked good. And that one looks good. I was like, I'm going to get this one because I think you're going to get this one.

And I would like a bite of yours. I'll change bite for bite. And she goes, you know me so well. And she got the one with the goat cheese and the avocado and I got the one with the garlic aoli and the pepperjack cheese. It was a great time. Good times were had by all. I will say, I may you need to do this more. When I do it, I usually am like, oh, yeah, there's a lot of good food out there.

Exactly. See, you need to expand your horizons and just go for it. And then that's a way to be like, okay, now I know that I don't like that. Or now I know, wow, Brussels are you putting up bacon in there pretty good. Yeah, enough soy sauce can cover a lot of vegetables. vegetable. A multitude of sins, yes. Yeah, Isaac, we were in Michigan and Scott didn't really like his lunch. Mine didn't taste that great.

And Isaac was just ooing and awing over his like bang, bang chicken pizza or whatever it was. So I was like, I'd take a little bang. And it was amazing. I was glad I did it. Yeah, anytime you have like, what do you call that, like, the automontopia kind of word in there? Yeah. Yum sauce.

That's fine. Wow, Kung, pow, chicken or something like that? like that like yeah you're right so yeah almost like especially when it comes to that kind of that like the chinese kind of sound yeah which could be a good segue into the smores if we're if we're ready all right jake uh give me a character and i'm gonna i'm gonna do that character for the mainstream roaster's ad wow okay that's fun um you were going to be a uh italian kind of mafia boss Oh, Mopoulie boss. I was...

Okay. You can be the godfather. Every morning I wake on. Every morning I wake up. Oh, this hurts my throat. Every morning. Oh, I don't know. I can't do that.

All right. And scene. Very good. Very good. This is a game called five-second improv. Brad nailed it. Okay. You guys see where I was leading.

Make him a coffee he can't refuse. That was the line we were hoping to get to, but you guys get it. Okay, okay. Nathan, oh, no. Me going on. Dang it, I didn't even say it right. That offer. So I have the original script in front of me.

Sorry, guys. Sorry, dude. I'm just a Scorsesee head. So I think that's how he's Copla. Hey, mainstream roasters. Best coffee around. I don't know what else to say. They're just the best, and they love us.

He's coming sometime. He said he was going to be ready at about 630. So we got 14 minutes. But we can talk about the smores or we can. can talk about something else and come back to the schmores. All right. Let me see this. Relatable or not, dude.

And I don't know. This is genuinely, I don't know what you're going to say. And I should have had this. Oh, man, I should. I might text Catherine real quick and ask her to bring me this. The relatable or not is I struggle giving things away right after I get them, even though I know I'm never going to use it. Okay.

Can you get some sort of gift or something that's very nice, but it's not for you. you're going to hold on to it for a while. I went, yeah, it wasn't even a gift. Well, I guess it was kind of a gift. I did a golf tournament with the church. And every year they always give away, like, they always give something as like the, I guess you could call it a gift,

but like every, every, it's like a men's tournament. Every man gets one. A couple years ago was like ball markers and something that last year was like a poncho. This year it was a Nike golf hat. And I have a huge head. and it is still way too big for me.

So I don't know if anybody is going to look good in this hat. Like it's one of those things like I don't even know how to just like it like has first of all it's like a flex fit hat, you know. And and so it kind of one size fits all. But man, it's got the things on the side that just kind of bunch up on both sides. I mean, you look, I look beyond dumb in it. Like I'm not super picky when it comes to like, yeah, I'll wear a hat out. It doesn't have to be my perfect hat.

But like I look redone. ridiculous in this thing to the point where I'm like I know I'm never even going to wear that like around the house because it would not even feel comfortable to wear and so I'm like I just got to get rid of this thing but I just got it and so for whatever reason I think it's the toy story lover in me where it's like that hat has feelings or the person that gave you that hat has feelings yeah and they're going to know word could spread amongst the toys when you're not around that you give away toys quickly right right I don't know. You get that at all? I can't imagine. I think I talked about this to an extent before, but. A hat being that big. Because you know I ought to be head.

Yeah. Did they mess up? I don't know, dude. Hey, Bo. Will you please go into my room and get my hat that I got that has our church's logo on, the LBC logo? Can you run and grab that real quick? Okay, thank you.

I don't know, dude, because, like I whenever I have like this I'm a snap hat whatever you want to call it snapback hat I'm always two two snaps only yeah there's one hat that I have to go one snap and I can't really wear it because it's like that looks ridiculous but like I'm two snapping every time I I think I'm seven in I think it's five eights not bad seven and a half maybe something like that seven and five eight so I got a big old dome I order to hat online and it was like a yeah snapback type hat and they said do you want medium or large and so I went large and now I feel like a bit of a dingus because I have to clip it all the way on all right let's see this thing all right I just want to

what do you say oh okay love you all right check me out tell me this looks do you see it do you see the the side it's like show me the side turn to the side Turn the side of a little bit. Oh, yeah. It is like above the ear. You've got so much room. I could easily do this, dude. I could easily go.

Yeah, tuck it. Tuck it over the ears. I look like, I don't even know. And I have a huge head. That's my point. Like, and they weren't like asking like, okay, what size do you want? I think everyone got this hat, this size. So that's going to fit no one?

Unless your hat in your head gets bigger over time. It's a swoosh flex large, extra large club cap. Maybe they had other sizes and they didn't ask because they just saw like everything else about this guy's extra large. Surely his head is too. But I don't know. I think we're terrible with the headphones on, but. Yeah, kind of like it's like a facelift. It kind of brings everything back.

Anyway. That's nice. That's nice. That's relatable or not. I, um, yeah, let me try to think. Yeah, I would have a tough time. It's kind of like someone gets you a birthday card, Christmas card or whatever.

Like, yeah, eventually he's going to go in the trash, but not right now. I've just probably in the last three or four years started throwing away cards. I used to keep every card. And a letter, a heartfelt letter I still keep. But sometimes like my aunt would give me a card and she would barely even write anything.

She just be like, love you, and I'd keep it. I'd be like, I can't. Yeah. That means a lot. She got that card for me. I think cards in general overrated unless they have heartfelt letters on them.

I don't need a card. Give me a posted note. Post a note. I'm fine with that. Happy birthday. You saved yourself $6 on a... Cards are so expensive for what I've never been moved by an actual card.

I've been moved by words that somebody wrote on a card. Yeah. Or a letter. We were talking about this in Michigan. Me, Scott Isaac, we all went to Target because it was Rachel Warbocker's birthday coming up and so we were going to surprise with a bunch of stuff. and I was like, we should get her a card.

And Scott was like, I think cards are the dumbest thing. I was like, yeah, screw me. Yeah, what are we doing this for? No, but I was like, yeah, but it's, I was like, I agree. I think we should still get a card, but we should not spend more than 15 seconds picking one out. That's where I stand. Like, it doesn't really matter.

I'm going to write something funny in the card. And that's what makes the card. Who cares what I was going to say. Happy birthday grandson, you know, to her. that's kind of funny too. So it sounds like it sounds to me like you can be just fine with a post-it note. You just described a post-it-note. Words of affirmation, yeah, post-it-note's great.

Post-it-notes great. And it sticks to things, FYI. That's good. So check that out. And she ended up having a great birthday. I wrote roses are red, violets are blue. Sorry about the video board, but at least you can sue. That's pretty good.

So yeah, I would say relatable. There's like there's emotion. There's magic attached to these inanimate things for a little bit, but it'll wear off. I'm also kind of feeling myself with these headphones on that. I just learned a new hack for making a hat look cool. Dude, I'll tell you, first of all, Catherine does not like it when I say you're feeling yourself. She does not like that phrase. Catherine's been feeling herself lately with this.

She's got a new, she's got a new Old Navy. She got it from Old Navy. American Flag Sweater. And boy, does she love it? Oh, yeah. She wears it. It's way too warm for her to be wearing it. She's still wearing it.

We went to the movies, I think, just so she could wear that sweater. Like, she loved, we went to Colorado just for it. She's like, we got to go to Colorado. I could wear it every night. I mean, she looks like some girl from like, you know, the Hamptons or something. Like, she's got like kind of a classy style to her when she wears it. And she does look awesome in it. Like, she looks great.

Like, it suits her well. it's a classic style but I the other night I was just like be honest you're feeling yourself in that sweater she's like I don't like that phrase I don't like what you say that but yeah but but that there's that and then there's that Kate McAllister like camel coat oh yeah she feels herself in that thing I know she does I know she does like I'm like there's certain things you just know you're working that thing mm-hmm and that's one of them so anyway I'm feeling myself on this hat I think a while ago you had a segment that I was would like to now do my version of, which was called permission to be old. Does that sound like

a thing that you did? Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. So I find myself, um, needing a new pair of just walking around shoes. My hokas have become ratty and disgusting and an embarrassment to the middle class. Other people's words. Um, yeah. And so I've just tried to buy just to replace a pair of hokas. Ran into a bit of trouble, you know, Dick's sporting goods not working out. This other store didn't have any and Wides called me club foot. All right. I'll go somewhere else. You're a wide guy? I think that, but weren't they skinnier? You're getting skinnier?

Maybe. Okay, okay. I don't know yet, dude, okay? I don't want to talk about it here. I went to like famous footwear or something and I was like, I'm looking for some hokas. She goes, well, we don't have a lot of the name brand stuff. I was like, oh boy. But come on over here. So she's telling me what to have and then, first of all,

I didn't realize, I feel like I never buy my own hocus. I feel like it's just like a thing Rachel gets me once a year for my birthday. And I say, great. Hocus are like $170. Yeah, that's a lot of money. I mean, what's, shoes have gotten, shoes have gotten expensive. Just in general. Yeah. You'd think that price would go down over time. But she walks me over to this aisle and. Oh, here he comes. Oh, wow. Cliffhanger. Oh, no. No, we want to, I want to hear about it with Jensen.

He's at Jensen. Hi, Jensen. Jake is at Famous Footwear right now looking for Hocas. Not truly right now, but in the story. And they didn't have Hocus. You might be muted. So if you can unmute yourself, that'd be sick as frick. No, you're good.

I can hear you. All right. I'm hearing some noises from him. Wait, you can hear me? Yeah, yeah. Okay, great. She takes me over to an aisle, and I think to myself, hey, these shoes don't look so bad.

And then I look at the price, and it's only, like $80. I'm like, wow, this is less than half the price of a pair of hokas. And they were branded as slip-ins. Oh, no way, dude. So I got two pairs of sketchers for the price of one pair of hokas. Thoughts? Dude, I, I kid you not. First of all, yeah, you're very old for doing that. I was thinking it's okay. Second of all, not one year ago. I have a friend. We all have a friend.

His name's Will Severn's. He's like, dude, everyone's, you know, Will loves, loves trying to, like, you know, go against the grain or, like, tell somebody about something new that everyone should be getting into. He's like, dude, everyone's talking about Ons. Everyone's talking about Hokas. Try some sketchers, dude. And I was like, I'm not going to do. I'm not.

I don't, what I want, light up shoes, I don't need these right now. And you, you went for the slip-ons? I don't know if you've tried them, but your feet slip right in.

The ones that you like, don't need like your hands, right? They like, that's how they advertise them. Correct. Oh, okay.

Jensen. Very nice. I think you're missing the point of the most important part of the shoe is for it to stay on and become comfortable. You just like to your foot. Yeah, could go in or out any second.

And Tony Romo, I mean, he was a Skechers guy. That's what I did it for. That's amazing. He's a Romo fan. Jensen, how are you, brother? Good. Excellent. Speaking of Will, just got off a call with him about two hours ago,

Believe it or not, Will did send us a screenshot of you on your call. So, yeah, don't worry about it. Yeah, we did see this. Yeah. So anyway, Jensen is getting married soon. I'm going to his bachelor party this weekend.

Fun time. And he's here for the summer of celebrity, Schmores, baby. What schmores are we doing? You're a celebrity on the podcast. Summer of Celebrity Shmores. Bro, you scared the poop out of me. I thought you said verbs.

So I was like, dude, I don't have anything prepared for celebrities. Oh, no, the, yeah, the, what do you call it? The collection, the theme of this summer is. Yes. No, though. The category for the shmores is verbs. And I didn't say this to you, Jensen, but I thought, think I understand you well enough.

Fun verbs, not like love. Did you, did you think of love and run and walk? Hi. No, you did. Didn't you? Aida's here with me. And she helped me create it. It's a pretty good list.

It's not like boring ones. Yeah, I don't think you guys are going to be stealing any, but I do think that you will covet some. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Out of all people I know, Jensen, you're one of the better words, words, words, guys and not necessarily just because you're like you know you have good words but you also have like words that you never expect somebody to like like out of context inside joke words and sometimes it's like I don't know if that's if I should know that inside joke or if that's

like or or if it's nonsensical like like your nickname for me or for a lot of people is verne which there's no what what's what's that what's the background of that my dad he would always say it and he watched this show growing up called Vern and Ernie I think is what it's called and he would just call people Vern and then hit him with the dot com dot com yeah he says like dot com when he leaves

like all right dot com you hit me with it the other day yeah yeah www www.w.com but then there's other inside jokes that your dad has with you and other people that do have like backgrounds to them like everyone's like Like, it's like they have their own dictionary or something.

Like, Kenny Powers, is that his name? So my dad used to work for Muskingham College. He was in their athletic department. He would do the radio. And then to split up the time, because you really can't make a ton of money doing just college radio. He was in this small town in Ohio. And to split time doing radio,

he worked at the local radio station. So Muskingham College's radio station and his alter ego at 96-5, the Eagle, was Kenny Brown. Kenny Brown. Yeah. So he was at a party one time and someone was like, Jeff, I swear you sound just like the guy

on 96 FM and he's like, that's me. And for one moment, Jeff Harper felt like a celebrity. I am. He'll be there this weekend. I can't wait, man. I'm excited.

It's going to be a great group of dudes. It's going to be fun. It's going to be awesome. Yeah. All right. Mount Rushmore. more's of verbs. I don't think it really matters what order we go in because I don't think we're going to steal each other's verbs. But let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's get

started this this time. We'll go Jake Jensen and me. Hey Jake real quick. Can I pause you? Um, how are you doing with the moving process?

Beautiful sermon illustration. Everything together. Um, yeah, honestly the move was, I was just texting somebody the other day. I'd say the move was a nine out of ten.

So, but also I'll use it for anything. It's like, oh, doinked my hip on the kitchen. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's what I was thinking. Doink is more like a, you hit it on something. Or it's like a doinking football. I wasn't looking at dude. He's doinked it off my chest. So yeah, just like it hit or it brushed or it caught, you know,

Perfect example. Yeah, dude. Connor McGregor, is he a UFC? He got walloped. He got walloped. And then my next one, I think I really like the word ski dattle. That was on my list.

Really? Yeah, a skedaddle. Yeah, it's time to skiddle. I don't use it enough. But when you skiddle, you're never like in a bad mood skidaddling. Like it's like, all right, we're going to skiddle. You're never, you're never like, hey, you're like yelling at your kid to get in the car. We got a skiddle now.

We're going to be late for church. Get out. Let's go. Come on. I'm sick and tired of one in this family having the wherewithal to skedaddle. I'm the only one skedaddle in around here. Come on. You skied while I'm daddling.

Yeah, exactly. So, skedaddle and walloped. First two. One, two. All right. Back to you, no, back to me. Back to Munch.

Munch Daddy. W.wbtsmacked.com. Gobsmacked. Gob smacked. So I used to do work with the YMCA. We would do international trips. One of my favorite ones that international has used often, particularly the Brits and Irish, gobsmacked.

That's like stunned, that's surprised. It's, you couldn't believe it. I'm completely gobsmack. It's bobsmacking. Yeah. England beat Mexico and it's gobsmacking. That's fun. I like that one a lot.

Yeah, the British version of it is like when it's out its best. Yeah. I've heard of gobs. but I've never heard of gobsmackers. Everlasting gobsmacked. Wow. Okay. Good answer.

Okay. This is going to be, I don't know who's going to win this one, guys. This is anybody's race. All right. Brad, this is kind of similar to your walloped,

but I already had on my list. Only had five things written down and you took one of them. So got to say it, clocked. Like that man got clocked. Yeah. Yeah. Adjason would be he got us clock cleaned.

I also like when old timers use that. But yeah, just like, dude, do you see Miles Garrett come around the court? Oh, he clocked him. It does feel extra, extra hard. Like, you don't say that unless somebody got absolutely dominated. His helmet came off. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, he got clocked. He got clocked. I like that. Miles Garrett. Anybody, Miles Garrett fan here? Okay. You're at first. Let's go.

Yeah. I thought No, do Miles Garrett's like The best Brown of all time, maybe. He's on your team. He's plays for you. He's like, well, he's like the best defensive player in the league and he plays for your team.

Why aren't you fan of him? That's all I was gobsmacked but I heard that news, dude. Perfect timing. All right. I actually only said clock just so I could find a way to bring up Miles Garrett. My third round pick is going to be Dilly Downey.

Hmm. Okay. Dilly dallying. He dilly dallyed, you know, whether it's present tense or past tense. It's fun to say. It's fun to type. And I would say it's in my regular vernacular. You type dilly dally? Yeah. Really. Sorry, running late, we were up to a little dilly dally. No way. Search your message right now for dilly dally. I don't buy it. I don't buy one bit of it. I know I've typed this. All right. Search will resume when it becomes indexing. You ever get that message? That's so dumb. Search and eye message is the worst. All right, Jensen, you go ahead and if Jake finds one, we'll let him read it. Right now the only one's showing me is Luke Hoagland text me.

He said they are dilly dallying around in there. Of course, Luke Hoaglin would text that. Of course. Okay, I got two more. But you just get one right now. We're going around. Right. Right.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. I'm going to go with thwart. Oh, good. That's a tough one to say.

Thwarting, if I were to say, hey, I stopped that from happening. You'd be like, anybody could have done that. I thwarted their plans. I thwarted that old woman from crossing the street. You can't thwart an old woman. You can't. I'd like to see it.

I can't, dude. If you, I think Thwart is violent. I thwarted her by protecting her. I think you broke her hip. I think Thoret has like, like, I don't, I love the word. I don't like the word. I thwarted the CIA's plan to overthrow the Russian election. It's got to be way bigger than crossing the street.

The FBI thwarted the plan at the UFC White House of that. Yes. That's right. Yeah. You thwarted the old woman because she was, is actually in the CIA. Yeah. No, you don't thwart the old woman.

I did something to her, but. You thwart the car that's about to hit the old woman. That's it. I thwarted the car, the, the, dittily daddling Dan's Mitsubishi. Yeah. And how did Dan feel? He was gobsmacked.

All right, good answer, good answer. All right, my next one, I think I like words that have lots of, it's funny, you guys are doing like one syllables. I like a lot. I like a long word, discombobulated. I just think there's something strong about that word. You're completely discombobulated.

There's just, I don't know. I like it. I was seeing stars. So discombobulated? Mm-hmm. Completely discombobulated on that thing. And then, man, there's a lot of good ones left. I think my last one's going to be spearhead.

Like, hey, let's spearhead this thing. I spearheaded that woman so she didn't get. hit by that car. Did you help her or hurt her? I led with the crown of my helmet, baby. That's right. Miles Garrett spearheaded the competition. I just think spearhead is a strong word.

It's just like, yeah, you're going after your spearhead. We need someone to call our attention tomorrow. Who's looking to spearhead that? Yeah, I'll spearhead that. I'll spearhead that, yeah, that task. you know that task is over, it's done. That task is not surviving. Yeah.

So, Jensen. It's good. Piddle. Great delivery. Midwest, piddling. There's nothing like it. I don't know if I know that one. What?

Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, you're just piddling around your shop. Oh, sure, sure. Yes. That's right. Um, not necessarily like playing.

It's just kind of like joyfully, mindlessly, aimlessly wandering around. It's not like negative, but you're just piddling. I was going to say neutral. It's like not productive, but at the same time, it's good for you. Periputic. Yeah. Yeah. Like you're piddling in your shop.

Like that's fun. You're just kind of like poking around. You're not as focused or as intentional as you could be in another situation. Yeah. But it's good for the goal. Do you imagine when you're piddling, are you always standing still? Would you say? Can you piddle on a walk?

I think it's actively moving. Oh, really? You're grabbing things. You're what? You don't think so? Come on, Aiden. A lot. A glass of wine.

She's hanging out. Oh, yeah. Feeling good. Yeah. No. That's like when I'm on the. phone in my own home. The things I do while I'm on the phone,

I'm piddling. I'm just like walking in weird places and just grabbing something, setting it down. I'm doing all sorts of stuff. Right. Okay. Right. Okay. That's, yeah, that's where I'm at. But it's good. It's good. I love that. Fiddle. Piddle.

Waddle.Wi.I.I.Piddle.com. Donnie Doinkin's pitil. Piddle machine. Friday, Piddle ball. Piddle ball. That's good. Winky dany's. All right, Jake. My last one is going to be the word and the verb monkey.

Oh. Stop monkeying around. I stopped the woman from crossing the street because she was monkeying around that car. She was about to monkey around right into that cyber truck. Oh, yeah. That's good. I like that. Monkeying around.

In childhood. Just, yeah, like mischief or things like that. It's like something that old people are upset at young people for doing. all that time of that cell phone, they're all that monkeying around. Do you think those words are going to get expired, or are we going to adopt those words? We have to keep them around.

It's like supper. If not us, then who? Okay. Jake, if I were to ask you what the word simp means, would you be able to give a good definition? Would you use it? Would you feel good enough to use it in conversation, Jake? No, this word is not in my vernacular.

How does that what it means? How does that make you feel youth pastor? Simping is like, but I think this is already expired, so it's not on any fault of you guys. But simping is like if, if you really liked a girl and you just kept like doing things for, but she wasn't like receiving it. It was a one way street where this guy all he was doing was like bending over backwards to do things for. And she's really doesn't care. I've heard. Yeah.

I'm clear on that. I would just, I'm a grown man. So I wouldn't say. Okay, Brad, you, okay, your point is proof. But my point, my point. So do you want to, do you want to give the context or you want to keep it there? Okay. He was texted me earlier. I was asking of like, hey, can you, can you get on the schmorts tonight and whatever? And he's like, I don't know, like, how long is it going to take? This is my last night with Aden for a few days. and I send him like this rolling eye emoji like and then I said somehow I was talking about going to see Mr. Jensen this weekend to Bo and I was like you know Mr. Jensen right he's like yeah yeah I remember Mr. Jensen he played kickball with us and he was on the phone a lot when he visited us aka talking to his girl the whole time and and then Jensen's like oh my gosh that's like a very passive aggressive way of a six year old telling you you're simping hard or something like that and I was like I don't, maybe, I think, I don't know if I know if I know that word well enough to use it in a sentence. He's like if I was confident on the definition, I would call you a simp, yes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It would be great if Bo said that. Oh, was that the Simp who played kickball with us? Yeah, that would have been really good. Did we ever talk? Did you hear the story about how Jensen absolutely nailed Bo with the kickball? I do. I feel like I kind of.

I remember that. Yeah, just like with a with a throw or something. I mean, you know, Jensen's 6 foot 13 and just a beast of a man. And from across the like yard, jokingly was like, I'm going to pretend to like throw it really hard. I mean, did throw it really hard, but like thinking like I'm going to miss him on purpose and just clocked him. A nice clock. Just clocked him. Forded his chances to score.

Was he down for a bit? I think he cried, didn't he? He jammed. it like it hit him pretty awkwardly on the thumb and he started crying and then he like Brad picked him up I was oh buddy you did so good that was awesome bro you know just trying to totally recover because I was like run home boat run I was like open and I just oh huh that's another good one that's a good one ball and it drills him because it was a lighter ball so it spun a little bit yeah and it is fun I think it's really fun to like

intentionally missed the kid, but like, make him feel like, holy cow, that ball is coming. So, whoa. Yeah. Anyway, scare him. You have any more words on your list? I had perused, schmooze, flabbergasted, flummoxed, thrash, adjudicate, adjudicate, badger.

Adjudicate is just a cool word. You only use adjudicate if you were going for a Guinness World record. That's the only time I've ever heard that. Well, I mean, how much this costs for an adjudicator? That's probably not worth it. That's the only time I've ever heard it. Okay. 40 pumpkins?

Yeah, I'm not going to use an adjudicator. Dude. 14-inch fingernails? I don't adjudicate that. Badger. That's kind of like monkey, but I mean, I like, I like animals that are verbs. Commend deer. And then on the same line, plunder.

Plunder is a good one. And then getting a little, you know, more spiritual sanctify. Sanctify is a good one. So anyway, you got any more, Jens? Didn't have this on my list, but I'll say it anyways. Commiserate. That's kind of a fun. Giggle, caramelize, broth, gulp, scoge, sniff, savor, smash, and chop.

But those are like, those are good. I kind of misunderstood the prompt. I'm sorry. I should have, I should have given you. I like gave Jake the example of like, I think I said unconventional verbs. I think I just said verbs.

So mid-podcast, I looked at Aiden and I said, I'm in trouble. No. You nailed it, dude. You nailed it. I think it was great. It's fun.

All right. Anything else you want to talk about, Jensen, before you go? All I got to do is eat this crunch wrap that Aiden made for me. Look at this crunch wrap. She made that? It was pretty good. Is that mean, is that, is that crunch rap simp in?

Is that a simp rap? Simp-in. Yeah. That looks amazing. That's why a simp right there. Let me, let me tell you real quick, then that's worth, you have a simp right there. Jensen, so for his bachelor, for a wedding present for me from Jensen,

Jensen has been like, I mean, how many hours do you think you've spent? on these things. That's. He's been simping on these things. 20 hours probably. Jake, this is why I texted you, minimum 20.

Do you remember when I texted you about mute math for Brad? The way Jake and I text, it's kind of like a bulletin board where you just like, we just send each other links. No one really responds to it, but we send each other links.

And like, that's really all we do. But I sent you one of like, I think that Brad's favorite band is mute math. So I found this guy on eBay that was selling like a one of one mute math patch. And I'm gluing it onto a hat that Brad really likes. So it's going to be cool. I'm pumped. Yeah.

Jensen's like, yeah. And for like multiple of his friends is like finding these really cool, very unique hat. They're like making these unique hats. And it's like, I can tell you you put more thought into this than I put in it like raising my children or something. Like it's like amazing. But I wanted to show you I was talking earlier in this episode. we got hats for this men's golf tournament for our church and they fit terribly. Like I have a huge head and they fit too big for my head.

Like look at these like you can't really tell, but it's like too big on my head. And so I was like, I was like, I'm never going to wear this hat ever. And so I was like, well, I guess I'll wear it for this to show off for the podcast. But anyway, yeah, my business venture is I contend that everyone is a hat person. and they just haven't found the right hat. So either it fits great, looks terrible, meaning they don't love the colors or whatever, or it looks really cool,

has cool logos, patches, whatever, but it doesn't fit great. And I contend that people would want to spend a little bit more money to get a custom-made hat that looks great and fits great. And I want to do that for my friends as a gift to start my business. Love it, dude.

Not going to be a business, but pretty fun. Jensen, I have a question for you. Our most recent text conversation besides that one was about honeymoon resorts and I told you I don't know if you need to go to sandals did you end up finding one

where you're going? Thank you for the follow-up we are going to you guys ever heard of Iberostar? Yeah. It's kind of spelled funny. Okay yeah so we're going to coasts,

It's a it's a it's a it's a regular old guy just a just an average Joe just one little quirk about him he only has the left side of him okay so he's he's a side sleeper he's a side hustler he has a he has a lot of side jobs go oh and by the way he can't speak English what was that last part he can't speak English I'm just kidding

I want to talk about Rosie, one of my wins of the week, one of my favorite things that's happened this week is Rosie finally has started jumping into the pool and getting her face completely underwater. And it is so fun because Rosie's personality out of all the kids is the one that should be jumping in and going crazy. And she's been really worried about it getting on her face, stuff like that. and it's been so fun watching her jump into the water. And it's just, it's just, it's amazing. She closes her eyes like three seconds before she jumps and then jumps in.

It's so fun. So that is great. That's my one of the week. That's a fun milestone. Yeah. It's fun, isn't it? Yeah. She looks so proud of it too when you said that.

She is. That's what's so fun. She's like, Dad, do, like put your hands out underwater and I'll jump to your hands. It's so fun. So.

She's something. We can wrap this up soon. You got dinner. I got stuff. You all got stuff. I got stuff. My one of the week, I think the first thing comes to mine is this week has been defined by,

I'm taking care of myself. I've met three new people this week. I've got a new doctor down here. I figured that's something you should do. I went to the dermatologist. Okay. That was fun. Got a little guy removed on the forearm.

Okay. And then met a personal trainer. Me and Isaac and Kyle are going to start working out with a guy three times a week. Every week. Keep each other accountable. We'll have this guy that we pay to do it and feels good. Take care of the body. Good for you.

Getting after, getting that Arizona bod going, boy. That's fun. So have you met with the. them yet, like done any sessions? Yesterday was our assessment. Okay. You guys are doing it all together? I feel, yeah, that's what I was going to say.

Like, I am more athletic than the average person. Sure. I feel like I'm in decent shape for 34 years old. Absolutely. But when you get training with a Division 1 athlete or Isaac McDonald, who might be higher than a Division 1 athlete. Yes. Man, it feels like I'm lagging behind.

Isaac could have tried harder. ran track at division one or something like jumped like done like high jump or something like he's he's a boss yeah so yeah so well that's i mean honestly that's like what that's what it should be it's it's like you're you're working you're you're the not the lowest whatever you want to call like but like that's going to push you harder than if you were the best you know what i mean yeah stinks for those guys i'm dragging it down that's right coat tails are pretty heavy for them um That's great. Okay. I love that, man. And then comment of the week?

Comment of the week. Let's do it. There are some great ones from last week's Wednesday's episode, Spritz Delcante. The top comment says, I don't know if you guys know how sourdough starter works. And the fact that it's the top comment shows me, yeah, I guess I don't. Hey, but somebody said it does, I saw somebody else post like, hey, I'm a sourdough. person and it doesn't matter like how much how old it is for the starter like

it doesn't really affect it. It's cool but doesn't affect it that much so listen we're back we're fine. My comment in the week I need to find the exact comment real quick but basically it was Noah Potratz who's from Wisconsin

shout out Noah let me see if I can find it real quick he just said petition to make CST stand for Culver's standard time. I like that a lot. Yeah. I didn't see that.

He posted that on the Facebook group. And I'm like, that's amazing. That's perfect. That's exactly right. Like we said last night or last week, like if you have a Colvers, you should not be in Eastern time zone.

So CST is Colbert standard time. So two other comments. I feel like just deserve some love. Mitchell Bowser said, just had to apologize to time in because Brad said, hey Siri call ex-boyfriend and it called him. And then Christina Jade said, not to add even more complexity to the whole

two knack baxter situation, but my husband's name is also Nick Butler. Just a very common name. I mean, surely that's the most common Ghostrunners fan name we have. I guess so. Are there three of anything else? Are there three Amanda Smiths out there that listen to us?

I don't know. yeah katie williams i don't know yeah maybe katie williams if you're out there comment um yeah let us know ashie smith please uh any man there's some good comments oh yeah love the ghosties thank you for all your comments i am curious if you've seen i i won't ask every episode jake but i want to know if you've seen a snake or a scorpion yet thought i saw a snake who's just a long piece of grass. Okay. And no scorpion yet, although the ghosties are doing everything in their power to terrify.

Me and Coli keep talking about it. We go enough with the emails. Enough with the Facebook post. No comments. I read it all. So stop. Well, that's my point is like, I, I am convinced based on all these things that, like, they're everywhere and you're seeing them all the time.

You're sure. It's like, it's like, it's like people are like, oh, you're from Chicago. Have you ever gotten shot before? It's like, I don't think everyone there. I mean, yeah, but that was just a coincidence. That was what I was driving through St. Louis to get here. Oh, you're from St. Louis. Yeah, whatever.

Have you got looted before? Like, that's not everywhere here, okay? But I do want to know. Like, so I'm not going to ask every week, but please, if you ever get a scorpion or a snake sighting, I want to hear about it. I will say this morning, I went to go put my, put my sketches on. I had left them outside on the back porch area. and I put my right foot, it slipped. I slipped my right foot in.

And then for some reason for the left shoe, I was like, I guess I'll check it for scorpions. And so I just dump my shoe out. Of course, there's nothing in there. But the ghosties are getting to me, man. Checking my left shoe for scorpions. Okay. But I'm good.

One last little thought from me. Well, yeah, I think, yeah. I just said, how much dancing is too much dancing in public? I was at a coffee shop earlier today. This girl looked like she was an older woman. I don't know. Older woman. I'm not going to say a number because then people that age that are like 53 also

are going to feel old, but whatever. She's an older woman. She was listening with her wired headphones in and she was just kind of doing one of these. And I thought, good for her, but she's right on the cusp. Yeah. Of too much. Yeah. There's like a spectrum of like where you're at.

and how much you're allowed to dance. Because you remember my story, those like Gen Z kids at Lifetime Fitness, like both with their headphones in. Oh my gosh, yes. It's too much. Kind of like joking, like making eye contact when they did it too, right? Or something. It's like, yeah, guy, I think boyfriend and girlfriend,

both in like high school or something, but I don't know. It was grossing me out. So yeah. I think you can do almost, almost anything you want dancing wise with your head. Like, I'm okay with a, I'm okay with a Bob. I think you have, you have granted more permission to move if everyone else can hear the music.

I think if it's private music, you're not allowed to move as much. Okay. Your moving radius gets smaller. If we were at a slow pitch softball game and they're playing a fun song over the speakers, everyone's allowed a little bit. Yeah. Oh, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, good you remember. Hit the road, Jack.

Don't you come down? Oh, yeah. Right? I've heard this one a lot. I also saw somebody getting it dancing in their car the other day. They were tailor me pretty good. And so that's when I was looking like, what's going on back there? They didn't seem to mind.

They didn't seem like I was going. They were just like getting after it. And I'm like, okay. I think they're just too into the song. They're getting aggressive because of the song. Was it a white guy? Do you have a haircut like Isaac? It was not a white guy.

He might have cut Isaac's hair, but it was not a white guy. Yeah, but he was getting it. That is a fair question, though. There's a nuance to dancing in public. And listen, I, anytime I'm like even mildly annoyed, I have to, I just check myself of like, don't take away their joy. Like, they're having, they're, they're in a good mood. That's why they're dancing.

Like, because sometimes I'll get after in my shop by myself. and it feels great. And so I'm not trying to judge anybody else. I bet you do. I do, dude. Every once in a while, I'm like, oh,

yeah, dude. Roll down those windows while you're driving sometimes, get into it. And so anytime, I just have to check myself as like,

it's because I'm not doing that well, I guess, if I'm annoyed with them. Yeah. But anyway, I appreciate this girl. But I also was like,

you're not getting much work done dancing like that. Yeah. For the most, I think most times it is like, you know what, they're not hurting anybody. They're having fun. But there are times where it feels like, there's like a little bit of a show. It feels like you kind of want us to watch you. You want me to react.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're twerking on my coffee like desk, like that I'm trying to... You're twerking and doing the Cardi B lyrics. Right. It's too much. You just doinked me a little bit with your belt buckle. Oh, all right. That's fun.

Right episode. fun episode. Thanks to Jensen for joining. Let us know in the Facebook group. It's called Ghostrunners Podcast. Let us know who won the Schmores. Always fun to see. The last time I checked last week's smores with Nack Baxter, he had three votes. Which might be all the time.

And Night Vision goggles was like, I thought that was going to earn some. Redemption. No. Yeah, I think, I think smoke detector really hurt him. Which I feel bad because he like openly said it was his wife's idea for that one. But, I mean, you got to know when to trust their wife and when not to. I was going to say, yeah, I mean, to become one. That's right.

You don't live in Iowa. Like, you know, sometimes you guys say no, all right? Anyway, we love you guys. Come to ghost to getaway, ghostrunners. Live slash travel if you want to. Or just text us, man, I wish I could make it, but I can't. And we'll say, yeah, you should come. We'll work with you.
