You know what phrase I'd be okay with never hearing again? You're fired. Close. Apples to oranges. You hear that when people like recently asked someone, so how's working from home compared to working in the office? Oh, I can't even really compare them. It's just apples to oranges.

You don't like that. I'm going to be honest. I use that all the time. Oh, no. Why? It doesn't even make sense. They're both fruit. You can easily compare fruit okay when

do you say i i think it's like i'm trying to think i'm already i'm already hot i'm rolling the sleeves 20 seconds in oh thunderdome baby episode 56 okay roll the intro music we'll talk We need to talk about this more afterwards. Yep. Oh, man. Ooh, I think this type he means is going down with some random thoughts and might meet two Midwest best friends. Eating fast food on repeat so come along and have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet, cause it's a Ghostrunners

podcast. Every Monday morning with Jake and Brad, Ghostrunners podcast. Ghostrunners podcast. Every Monday morning with Jake and Brad. Ghostrunners podcast. Ghostrunners podcast. Great work. Thanks, man. I was like, crap, I need to start saying something quick. This is a quick one.

How would you compare that theme song to the Parks and Rec theme song? Oh, man, you can't. I mean, it's like comparing apples to oranges oh totally i actually i don't i don't know if i use the phrase honestly i was thinking about i don't know if i use the phrase apples to oranges but i say well yeah maybe i do i just say it's not apples to apples which is basically the same thing i just i use that all the time like i love comparing things that are similar or that people think are the same thing but really they're not and so i say that all the time i'm not going to anymore i'm self-conscious people in that back of their head are gonna be like i hate when people say that uh sorry no i don't have any kind of personal vendetta against it i just one of those

things that you everyone so mindlessly says yeah and i'm just like i don't know how i've always been i'm just like wait hold hold on why is this an idiom maybe we should start being like it's like it's like comparing baseball to football both ball both both uh both play take place at you know oakland stadium but not anymore been there have you yes actually nope lied we were supposed to film. It was a brand deal for a five hour energy. And we went to Philadelphia to film in Commerce Park, whatever the Phillies play. And the second part of the brand deal was supposed to be where the A's play. But they have that old stadium.

And the A's said, we are embarrassed of our state. Paraphrasing. But like, we don't like how it looks. We'd rather you film in this park than in our stadium. So we were supposed to film in the A's a stadium we'd rather film in a public park yeah so we went to a park to film this like baseball scene well that is not apples to apples i'll tell you that right now i better both have grass but that's about it that's where the similarities stop how would you compare them you really can't compare them it's like khakis to zebras

they're just so different now that makes sense okay now i get it those aren't even in the same category compare these they're both not citrus what are they both yeah i can't think of anything they even have uh both on earth colors on them barely though neutrals yeah combined black and white and maybe you get a kathy i don't know uh okay actually i had a thought about your oakland ace thing. Um, is, so I was talking to Catherine's dad. He was in town this weekend. He brought Hattie back from Texas and I asked him, you know, there's no sports obviously going on right now, but there was a golf tournament not this past weekend, but the weekend before, I don't really know what was going on, but I knew

it was big deal. Cause it was like the first time sports had been played. And so I was like, Hey, do you watch that golf tournament? He's like, yeah, I watched it. But what I was really excited about was not actually the golf itself, but watching the guys play on the course because I've played that exact same course before. Oh, cool. And I was like, and I thought about it. I was like, I don't think golf is that cool personally.

I don't have a big interest in golf. But the golf is the only sport where you can say i've played at the exact same place that these professionals are playing because all it takes is money right essentially to play i guess yeah yeah it's and make sure that obviously the course is public or whatever but like you can't be like oh yeah i remember you know lambeau field does have a short corner over there it's a hard hard fade route for my homes it's like you can't say that about anything else you can't be like oh that short porch and right yeah i hit one out in yankee stadium one time like no you can't say that about anything but when you're watching

golf you can be like yeah i actually i actually nailed that ninth hole that tiger's having trouble with it is pretty cool except i think you are forgetting my bachelor party you're right because we will be going to kaufman and it's gonna be awesome but to be awesome. But other than that, that's a totally great point. That's funny. There's just no, it's apples to oranges. I mean, there's no comparison that you can make besides golf with that. You can be like, I played baseball, but I've never played on that exact field. So then it got me thinking, Jake, what would be the field?

If you could play anywhere, where would you go? What field, field house, basketball court, whatever would you go like where what field field house you know basketball court whatever would you want to play on first let's start with the sport pickleball um second i saw this picture one time but not sure if it was photoshop photoshopped or not but it was like you know federer and like novak djokovic playing on this like rooftop in dubai oh like a helipad yeah they're like hitting them like them. Like, Oh no, not two rooftops. Like it's just one rooftop. It looks like a helicopter should be landing there, but now they're playing tennis. I know what you're talking about. If we could get pickle lines on that court,

that's where I would choose to play. That would be awesome. But more seriously, maybe Fenway park for baseball. Okay. What about you? I think, yeah, I was thinking either Fenway Wrigley, like baseball for some reason is more attractive, maybe because like football and basketball, they're all the same size courts. But baseball, you can have different size dimensions, which is kind of like why golf is so interesting too. Like, oh, I've been in the, in the sand trap at St. Andrews.

Right. Yeah. I've sanded, I've sanded it up there. You know, I've gotten sandy. I've, they called me Sandrews. Yeah. The sand man. Oh yeah. Anyway, I don't know I guess yeah Wrigley Field is my answer because you said Fenway but only because you said Fenway I probably

would have said Fenway too yeah but how's your week been what are you up to week's been good fine I'm just getting into a rhythm with two kids and Catherine's dad came and, um, we spent good time together. He, well, whatever. Let me just go on a tangent, I guess, with Catherine's dad. He is awesome, but sometimes I feel like he has a little passive aggressiveness. Cool. Um, but maybe not even passive aggressive, maybe just aggressive. Maybe it was just Catherine suggesting this. Um, but he, so, so first of all, whenever Hattie was born, he bought me a grill and he's like just every every dad you want to see my what I want to see your grill yeah your grill he's like hey get up we're going to the dentist and I was like what yeah we're buying a grill what yeah uh 14 carat just for

you man robbed the jewelry store and told her make me a grill she said it's not for me dad she looking at um anyway bought me a grill and i've that was really sweet obviously but i was like i think i like what is that what is that supposed to what am i supposed to think about that every christmas it's just like a hyper masculine gift chainsaw just one year just a steak oh one time katherine's mom bought me a book that said how to back up a trailer a hundred things every man should know oh i thought it was just an entire book on how to goodness put it in reverse i was like okay i get it okay i don't know how to grill a great steak all right i'll figure it out uh real quick have you ever seen that video that goes viral every fourth of july where they go put it in reverse ter Terry. Put it. Oh, my gosh. I love that.

Get out the way, Terry. Put it in reverse, Terry. Everyone go YouTube that right now. If you don't know what it is. Oh, it's so good. I love I love black humor so much. It's great. It's so funny.

Oh, my gosh. There. Yeah, that the two that I could think of off the top of my head or that one. And have you ever seen the one where it's like this parade of like, it's like a little kids parade. There are all these like minions and different things like dressed up, like oversized minions and like Dora and stuff. And they're all just like breaking it down, like dancing through this parade.

And these people are like, okay, okay, Dora. Okay. It's awesome. That's great. I need to check that one out. Check that out. We'll link them in the description. Of course, we always do. Yes, back to you.

Grill, he got me a grill. This time he came and he brought his, and I think, Kevin's gonna be listening to this, so I'm just gonna say it up front. I think we did kinda suggest him to bring this stuff. So it wasn't like he just randomly brought it, but he brought all these things to like, help me with my lawn. Like, he's like, he's like, uh, I heard you need

some help with your weeds. And so I came, he brought his roundup to like spray down all the weeds and like help me out. And so it was just like this, like, uh, like we just kind of joked around about it. Like me and Peter, it's like some of my friends, like, what was he going to bring me next? You know, like kind of like a chainsaw, like, yeah, I just noticed, uh, you needed some new lug nuts on your tires because they look a little worn out you didn't know how to change them you know whatever like i brought you some new pins oil for for your car because i know you can't change your your oil and i'm like i don't know how to do any of those things you're right you're right i can't say anything it's like when andy and dwight

try to keep like winning each other over so they don't owe him anything you're gonna like try to like i'm gonna change my i want to be changing my oil when he gets here i want to be like under the car when he gets here so he sees me but then he's like oh i changed that yesterday like dang it which subconsciously actually now i think about it i did do two things and i don't think they were because he was coming one i got uh my oil changed in my truck and my tires changed and then two this is so embarrassing i don't even know why i'm saying this on the podcast, but we had not taken down our Christmas lights until last week. We just kept putting it off and I took them down. Finally.

Memorial day lights though are like, you know, for the troops, like, come on, light them up, light them up. We don't have firework around. It's a non fireworks County. So let's go ahead and light up the lights. Sure. But I was up on the roof, like scooching up the roof, like getting all these, uh, getting all these lights down. And I was like complaining about how hot it was on my hands. And, and Catherine's like, well, maybe it's because most people don't, uh, take them down

in May when it's 85. Yeah. I was like burning up and I was like, yeah, that's fair. A roof scooch is dangerous. I was doing that on my grandpa's roof the other day. I didn't trust the ladder. Yeahoof scooch, yeah, you'll get some scrapes. And I got up there and immediately I was like, Catherine, I'm scared. Like, I'm nervous I'm going to just fall down this roof. So... Did you? I did not, but I was very careful.

I'm a very cautious boy. Any other updates with your week? I got a haircut, actually. Well, we already talked about that, but... Yeah, I mean, they already know exactly how it went. Yeah, I got a haircut. You got to mow a lot. That's why you're wearing the hat.

They were... Yeah, exactly they were uh very particular about wearing a mask there um honestly i don't think they cared that much about him but i think that they they want to be able to say that they had everyone wear masks yeah they cared about like legally like staying in business and stuff like staying open my uh my home state's trending because of haircuts you see that on twitter today two hairstylists at a great clips in Springfield, I think, both like contracted COVID and like 140 people are now like, whatever, have been exposed to it because they gave haircuts in like two days. So.

No, but did you see the Osage Beach thing? Yeah. Oh, that was, let's talk about trending. My gosh. Yeah. Look at the Ozarks. Yeah. We don't have to talk about it too much, but I got some things to say because I hung out

with people yesterday for the first time in two months. Yeah. Put it on Instagram because it was this fun, impromptu thing we did. holiday to honor to think of to be uh in memorial of troops and soldiers that have given their their time their effort their hard work their blood their sweat even their lives for freedom are this country's freedom and the liberties that we have every day and in the midst of that people on instagram think they should tell me what i should do with my freedom i love that they think they should do that like that's what the troops did of hey you've made me laugh on instagram so now i can tell you what to do if you think that you're

wrong okay try to tell me what to do on instagram again i loved it please please tell me how to spend my free time yeah you don't really have like a friendship with those people just because you've yeah you've uh there's because they watch your video it doesn't mean that now they're like hey i was i was gonna hang out with my friends but this guy that i don't know from utah said i shouldn't and so thank you thank you brennan from ogden i don't know like it's one thing for america to tell us what to do and i won't get into that but yeah for a stranger on the internet to be like should you be doing that so did you respond to very many of them uh did you get a little little i only responded to one and the one you saw yeah she said um i love your response how is this social distancing and i said hey i'm in a paddle boat thinking maybe she would

back down is that was that the tone you were you were using because when i read i just read i'm in a paddle boat i read it as a little more of like a? Because when I read, I just read, I'm in a paddle boat. I read it as a little more of like a sarcastic, like, what do you want me to do? I'm in a paddle boat. She could take it however she wanted. I just, yeah, very matter of factly, I responded with objective things like things you cannot refute because I love doing that in arguments. How is this social distancing?

I'm in a paddle boat. And then she said, OK, well, well you're safe but your friends are not and i responded with which is an actual stat that the cdc um released point zero zero zero zero zero six nine percent of americans have died from the coronavirus end of sentence end of message did she respond uh actually i don't know i haven't even looked i just grabbed that screenshot yeah i was like whatever i said what i need to say yeah um get out get on with your life i can't wait on fourth of july guys hit me back tell me what i should do on the fourth of july too in my free time can't wait oh man that's so funny yeah i love it dude yeah that's whatever that's fine yeah i don't want to get into it too much because uh it's fine and i don't want you to think i can't take like

negative feedback because it's all good. Someone on Ghostrunners Instagram this week called me unattractive. I took it in stride. It was fine. I saw that. They were just like, you just responded, thank you. Dash Jake. So they knew it was coming from me.

Thank you. I would always do that on YouTube. People leave hate comments. Thank you for watching. That means you must have watched the video thank you for watching no I just love thank you like just keep it as short but like as like yeah passive aggressive as possible thank you thank you

and then the classic I don't want to just roast this girl too much be like oh my gosh that was my brother oh yeah our siblings are always stealing our phones and going into DMs and sending like elaborate messages to people that are like specific to things you've said on a podcast. I'm so sorry.

That was my dog. I was I was cuddling with my dog and then I put him down and he just must have tapped out on my phone. I don't get it. The dog ate my DMs. That's the new phrase. It's so did you see what I sent her? There's like there's a whole subreddit called Oops didn't mean to. Yeah, it's happened so often.

Most of the time it's with like guys sending like pretty inappropriate stuff to girls online okay and then they'll be like what why'd you do that and like oh my gosh i didn't mean you know all the time guys are always doing that to girls i guess enough where it has like a subreddit with 800,000 people oh and so i said i said this sounds like it belongs in r dash oops didn't mean to oh man the second you give pushback on people oh my gosh because it happens to me on my personal account all the time like someone sees something negative or whatever and i respond oh i didn't think you'd see this oh dude yeah totally yeah i didn't mean it big fan man yeah oh sorry big fan i was just being sarcastic yeah well you said i should go uh you know burn in a pile of garbage so i don't know where's the joke yeah joke? Yeah. Yeah. I did something. I did not do

that extreme, but whenever I was working at that corporate job, there was one time when I meant to send a message to one person. Uh, I think the girl's name was Alexa that I was meaning to talk about, but I accidentally messaged Alexa about Alexa. I have done that before. It was bad. It was so bad to the point where anytime I ever text anybody about somebody else, which I shouldn't do anyway. I'm like looking at it like, okay, is this who I'm meaning to send it to? Like, oh, and I, I totally was like, oh my gosh, I was just kidding. You know, it was so bad.

Alexa, it was like the first like 10 minutes of the day. And I was like, oh, I see that you have to work with Alexa today. Have fun with that or something. Oh no. And then I was like, Oh crap. Yeah. Like, Oh, I was talking to Amazon. I was trying to voice activate my Amazon product. Alexa. Yeah. Alexa, uh, embarrass the crap out of me in my corporate job. Alexa, try to get me fired really quick alexa define sexual harassment that's pretty funny yeah um i you know what yeah we won't share my sexual harassment story that was before i already said that before the podcast i'm just kidding it's not bad i just

wanted to you know if you if you were falling asleep yeah that'll wake you back up um i have some questions for you oh cool they're they're pronunciation questions i'm curious how you pronounce two different words pillow or instead of pillow eggs or eggs we've talked about that before have we eggs okay um my my questions are on these two things s-u-g-g-e-s-t holy cow can i get it one more time s-u-g-g-e-s-t suggesty okay oh wait oh wait wait wait it's just the regular word i'm so bad at this i'm so bad at like envisioning the letters yeah not an auditory listener at all okay you're spelling suggest do you yeah do you want me to show you the word i don't want to i don't want to you know frame your reference i'm exposed. I'm so bad at this. Suggest. Suggest. Suggest. Okay.

Catherine says suggest. Oh, that's wrong. Thank you. I've noticed it. And she says it, she uses the word suggest all the time I'm learning. And she says suggest every time. Suggest. Yeah. I suggested that we would go to Raising Cane's. No, you suggested. I suggest you start talking like you were born here. Okay, that's interesting. First, we don't have to talk about these very long, but that was the first one. Second one is, it's a type of dog.

D-A-S-C-H-U-N-D. Oh, Dash Hound? This one I'm not too confident in. Okay, so she pronounced it Doxund. Oh. Doxund. If anything, Dashund. Yeah, I thought it was Dashund. Uh. Dachshund. If anything, dachshund. Yeah, I thought it was dashund.

Uh-huh. Dashund through the snow. Or a little just dashund of this. Yeah, give me a dashund. Dash is, yeah, yeah, you got it. You did the joke. I don't need to do it again. Anyway, we watched,

Hattie and I watched the Disney movie, The Ugly Dachshund. Catherine's like, oh, Hattie really wants to watch the movie, The Ugly Dachshund. I was like, okay, great. So I Googled ugly dachshund. Catherine's like, oh, Katty really wants to watch the movie The Ugly Dachshund. I was like, okay, great. So I Googled Ugly Dachshund. I could not find it anywhere.

And then finally, she's like, no, it's the Ugly Dashund. And I was like, what? That's not a Dachshund. Huh. Dog pronunciations are a little weird, though. There's a province in Canada that is two dog names.

I don't know which came first, the province or the dog species, but New Finland and Labrador really yes and and I feel like it should be Newfoundland Newfoundland Newfoundland oh look at look at this new look at this new land we found we got it yeah Newfoundland Newfoundland but it's Newfoundland Newfoundland that's stupid yeah can I answer come on what are you doing up there yeah and did you steal this from dogs because if so not cool yeah not cool yeah

give it back to the Labradors speaking of saying things do you need me to pronounce anything else no those are the two I just want your suggestion on how to pronounce dash and suggest I do hear a lot I don't know if that's a probably a geographical thing certain people say

it like that yeah dude i had never noticed it until recently i haven't even talked to katherine about it yet maybe i should have done that before this oh hot dog i'm in hot water oh boiling my hot dog okay so speaking of talking of things uh you know we we went after joe biden probably a couple months ago for you know the thing yeah loved it uh it's time to go back to a new uh person of politics this guy never gets poked fun of so i figured we probably should here's a little uh clip of donald trump talking about his uh covid testing yes uh this week so i think it's another day so and i'm still here i'm still here and i tested very positively in a in another sense. So this morning, yeah, I tested positively toward negative, right?

So no, I tested perfectly this morning. Perfectly. I can't make it any easier than this. Don't not bother Luke. Don't, don't. Yeah, it's kind of like in one of the Office episodes where he's like, it's negative. And Michael takes off his newfangled. Like Livestrong bracelet.

We're going to fight this. Positively. I tested very positively. I love that he used that word anyway. Why? Out of all words. Oh, I'm positive that it was a negative test. In fact.

Play it one more time. It's never been more positive how negative I tested. It seems like he was like, right after he said positive, he's like, I should positive that it was a negative test. In fact, it's never been more positive how negative I tested. It seems like he was like, right after he said positive, he's like, I should not have said that. So I think it's another day. And I'm still here. I'm still here. And I tested very positively in another sense. He's doing this.

Oh, really? Positively toward negative right so no i tested uh perfectly this morning gosh i love it this is gonna kill our tennessee audience right now they are going they are turning this off but oh man i think he should have just left it where he ended i tested perfectly this morning yeah what does that mean perfect score perfect i got perfect i got 100 i'm gonna start saying that for everything like how and it doesn't even really make sense grammatically did it he was like a test well tested perfectly can you do that or would you do test perfect i tested perfect

anyway like hey how did how'd your how'd your presentation go today i presented perfectly whoa you did That sounds awesome. How's your math test today, honey? It went perfectly. Yeah, everything. Or just like how you had that dining table to drop off. How'd it go? It was all right.

I'm just kidding. It went perfectly. Could have been better. Could have been better. You been making any tapes? Not as many as I want to, but I have a lot that I need to make. So this week's going to be busy. Yeah, it's good. I'm getting a lot of business, this week is going to be busy. Yeah, it's good.

I'm getting a lot of business, which is great. So stimulus. Oh yeah. Probably. I saw a random plug for Ellis custom creations and all other small businesses. Jake Tribble at media included, uh, Mark Cuban's like the stimulus packages are not going to, or I don't know what he said. Basically his main thought was as long as like the thing that's going to answer the economy, the economy's problems is just for us to pump money back in to small

businesses everywhere. So just buy from small businesses. Okay. You heard it here first. We're open for business. Yeah. Anytime you want. Excuse me.

I'm burping. Sorry. I think I'm going to start telling people that I'm a musician. Oh. And then when they want to listen to my music, just send them to Spotify and send them to these podcast episodes. The songs are pretty long. Yeah.

But I think you'll like them. Yeah. They'll see like, oh, it's decently popular, but it's an hour and a half long. Yeah. I'll just take his word that he's really good. He must be a jam band. Or maybe don't tell him it's long at all. Just let him just hear it out.

The first 30 seconds, he talked, but then there was a song, kind of. Didn't really sound like his voice. And then he didn't talk again or sing again for like an hour and a half. But yeah, it's going to be my new thing. What do you do? I make music. I thought you were going to be like, I'm a musician. And then when people asked to hear you, you were just going to be like the mysterious musician.

Like, ah, it's just not ready yet. I't know it's like gosh it's so hot he's like such a pensive guy like doesn't want to you know let it out trey and i made a video this past week that is probably out by the time we're listening to this but just called the worst kinds of people and as we were writing it it was genuinely like therapeutic it's like this feels good just to talk about the worst kinds of people and one of them i think we called him the fisherman just always fishing for like you to ask so it could be like fishing for compliments like yeah quarantine i just don't i just i kind of lost a little like yeah yeah no man you look great you're talking about okay thanks here but the one that i felt

so much more passionate about was yeah that like been making some music lately oh okay so like tell me more about it ah i can't yeah yeah i already said too much i said too much i i shouldn't um or like oh do you know about gunner and emily yeah oh you do oh no no you don't know what happened uh actually i've already i shouldn't say no i shouldn't say totally those people oh yeah like willing to somewhat gossip dip their toes in the gossip pool yeah but that's it the same people that are like willing to somewhat gossip dip their toes in the gossip pool yeah but that's it the same people that are like uh what did they say gosh dang it not no comment but like uh i plead the fifth well yeah like oh crap what's the word they abstain from

voting yeah but it's it's like gosh dang it he's gonna kill me I'm mad. He can't think of it, guys. He can't think of it. Should we do some sample scenarios? Oh, my bad. It's like, no, no, no. It's like if you're like talking and you want to say something about somebody, but you're like, no, never mind. I'm not going to say that about you.

But it's like by not saying anything, you're saying something. I can't think of the word. Never mind? Is that the word? I don't know. Never mind. This is it's not it's not entertaining podcast for anybody no this is oh gosh i want to know i want to know i will think about this and i won't listen to anything you're saying for the next five minutes that's totally fine no yes i totally understand what you're saying though yeah like the very passive aggressive like i want to say something but i

i'm not going to say it. But by not saying anything, I'm saying everything. Another little joke we had in there was like, if I you know what I could tell you. Well, you know, if I if I tell you I have to kill you, it's like if you don't tell me I'm going to kill you. Yeah. Please stop playing this game with me.

It's time when you bring it up. Say something. So, yeah yeah i'm a musician now brad and i are both musicians it's called ghost runners is the name of our band two man band dude that was what i always wanted to name my band we're here baby so i guess we're here yeah i guess we're here i want to either name my band ghost runners on second or ghost runner on second or abraham and lincoln i don't know.

Well, I mean, to be fair, he's like a 55 year old indian man i mean i'm surprised he even knows that turn on the xbox he's gonna lose some references here and there yeah yeah um something else i thought of a couple hours ago i don't know why because it the the sample scenario was not happening to me at all it was just i was going i don't know how i don't know how that ended up on my phone i think my brother oh yeah oh he has my password yeah he's going through some things i was on a walk through overland park kansas and you've been going on oh same walk so just one so you've been going on some

walks i'm a one walk man but uh i was just thinking of things and there is something that happens every now and then i want your take on it i want your honest take on it okay because you are as far as i know still married you are married yeah yeah yeah and so you probably for the rest of my life i'm planning on being married okay is that what a covenant bond is uh covalent okay i knew i was like mr dedrick talked about one of these and he made me highlight yeah i don't know which one i had to study for holy matrimony so he uh he i'm not talking about mr. Dedrick anymore. There's a thing like you, maybe you are dating someone or just, you even are looking at an attractive woman.

And it's like, oh, you think she's good? Like, look at her mom. Like, that's what she's going to turn into. I don't want to look at your mom. No, no, no. I'm staring at this 26 year old blonde babe of a girl. And you're like, Hey, you know what's better than that? Like 61 year old wrinkly mom.

You think that a plus is good. Check out the C plus, you know, down the road. That's what she's turning into. That's such a normal thing. I'm like, can I not look at her? I don't want to look at her mom. Yeah. Her mom's not hot.

She is hot. Well, then if you're like, no, she doesn't even look like her mom. She looks like her dad. And it's like, oh crap. Oh, she's going to turn into her dad. Oh yeah., totally. Like, it's like and that's the awkward thing is that Catherine and her mom look so similar. They do.

And so I'm like, I know what she's going to look. And Catherine's mom's beautiful. But Catherine's mom is older than Catherine. Exactly. It's just a funny thing to think about. It's funny. It's one thing if you're like comparing moms, which I don't know if anyone's ever done that. You know, apples to apples.

Grandma on grandma action. But you're like, Hey, 26 year old or 56 year old. Huh? Which one, which one do you want? Apples to oranges. I'm going to take the apple every time. I can't do this. Yeah. Oh, just look at her mom.

Yeah. It's one of those things where it's like, do you want, do you want to get married and have vacations right away? Or do you want to start saving for your 401k before you're even married? It's like, it's like, are you going to invest in the future or no, you want to live your life now? So you're like, I want to look at, I want to look at how they are right now and enjoy my time in Naples with her.

You know what I mean? Yes. Yeah. This is my exact financial plan. If I had one and you'd be like, well, yeah, I don't need, I don't need to think so far ahead towards the future that I have like retirement living, you know, insurance and everything. Yeah. It's like, you could go to Hawaii.

You could live in Hawaii when you're 65 or you could go there 10 times in your twenties. Yes. I'm going to go there 10 times in my twenties. Yeah, dude. I don't. And when I'm 65, I'll probably want to be near my grandkids. Dude. Hopefully.

We were talking earlier today. My parents came over and random, random conversations happened, but Hawaiian grandkidskids one of the conversations was like katherine was saying that she went to this conference oh whoa she went to this conference this louis armstrong conference as you went to this conference and said what a wonderful world no she went to this conference and this speaker was speaking basically about um how how they lived basically like for three months at a time in all these different areas. Um, and they just, they just like traveled. They didn't have a home. They just lived in, like they lived in Paris for three months and then they lived in Hawaii for three months. And I was like, we should do that. Catherine and speak. I don't know what the job

was. I don't think it was like, I don't think she was speaking. I think it was something with her husband was doing something. Just a quick reminder, we are on YouTube.com if you guys are interested in that. That's true. Check us out on YouTube. Anyway, I just thought it would be really fun to... It's weird that you just said that out of nowhere. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What does she look like? Are we still on the mom mom daughter thing? Cause I just thought of something else. Sure. Uh, the whole, um, I'm distracted wearing your, and this is something I'm not thought of. This is just straight off the top. I don't know how I feel about this actually, but the, um, wearing your mother's wedding dress. That doesn't happen, does it? I don't know. I feel like you hear about it happening, and I don't know how I feel about that either. Oh, yeah. Do we? Yeah. I don't know either, man.

I think. Sorry, you seem distracted. I am a little distracted. We were talking about Naples, and now we're talking about nipples and wedding dresses. Check us out at youtube.com slash ghostrunnerspodcast. I think that it's weird. I don't think it's weird that they wear their wedding dress.

Yeah. I think it would look bad, though, because that was 40 years ago fashion. If anything, it's a pretty good, uh, financial thing to do. Very true. The more I'm thinking about it. Cause like, what else are you gonna do with your wedding dress once you're done with it? Man, that we actually had this conversation yesterday with some of my friends about how, like how different finances are viewed for a wedding girls versus guys. Cause yeah, you can spend a lot of money on a one, $2,000 on a wedding dress. You don't have to, you can buy one way cheaper, but yeah, it's literally a lot of money on a one, $2,000 on a wedding dress. You don't have

to, you can buy one way cheaper, but yeah, it's literally for one day and it's a very, very special day. I get it. But man, like anything else, anything else that you said that exact same principle for would sound ridiculous. Like, like a $2,000 Superbowl ticket. I don't, I don't think I'd spend that. You know, if you could be like, if you could be like, Oh, $500 Superbowl ticket and you can get in the same Superbowl. Okay. i don't think i'd spend that you know if you could be like if you could be like oh five hundred dollar super bowl ticket and you can get in the same super bowl okay i don't think i'm gonna spend the extra fifteen hundred dollars right yeah i've been thinking about this too because trey just got married and had like a very low-key wedding didn't invite really anyone just his family her family and like their best man made of honor and they're still gonna do the wedding

celebration you know and labor day weekend and i just even though trey has not said a word to me about it i know he's just gonna be like why are we doing this we've been married for four months why are we spending this much money i get wanting to have a reception but having to do the ceremonial part oh they're doing the whole thing i think so oh i thought you meant yeah you said they were doing a wedding but i thought you just meant like the reception part yeah as far as i know and maybe katie will change her mind because she's very like chill and like sure down to earth with a lot of that typical girl stuff but i mean then again every girl for the most part grows up dreaming about their wedding so you have

expectations yeah i don't know we we struggle with that though whenever we were engaged engagement maybe not for everybody but for us was not a fun time. We had so many arguments and power struggles between like, it's our wedding, but you know, Catherine's parents are paying for it. And it wasn't ever her parents that were saying the things it was like Catherine and I butting heads about things and Catherine saying, well, my parents are paying for it. So therefore we need to honor them. And I totally understood, but I was also like, but it's six grand for napkins. Just get the ones from Costco. They're quality. Yeah.

So anyway, looking back on it, it was totally great. But yeah, it's just weddings are so expensive. If there's any business that we want to go into, wedding business would be the one. Or babies. Those are both very expensive things. Or funerals. Oh, yeah. But you don't want to do that.

So a girl from one of my previous Hawaii trips FaceTiming kind of in the middle of nowhere. She said, Hey, I was just perusing Airbnb. There's a listing in Key West, Florida that they filmed a season of the real world at like, it's the same house that they use. So it's like very elaborate. It's like super vibrant. It's like, it's on the water. You would never need to leave. You know, they got tennis

courts, they got a jacuzzi. like she's going to go on a vacation there is that what you're saying her idea was like okay it can host like 16 to 20 people like what if we try to get a bunch of people just go there and do that and so one thing led to another so now we're kind of having a brainstorm session i'm like i don't know if i would want to like i don't know if i'm going to do this and coordinate all this i'm going to try to make a little money off this somehow maybe and so then i'm like what if we make our own reality show the real world used to be here we make our own reality show yeah so i came up with two on the spot with her that i haven't thought about since then okay i want to share with you and we'll see what else comes about okay

let's brainstorm baby first one is um and i shared this with uh our favorite identical twin emily duckworth huge fan okay because it So this is about twins. Okay. I was like, I was like, yeah. Okay. So, um,

you have eight non twin people. Okay. That are in the mix of guys and girls, I guess four guys, four girls, non twins. Then you have another set of eight people that are made up of four sets of twins. Okay.

All identicals. Okay. The eight. Wait, Oh, okay. All identicals, but not all identical to themselves they're not eight four sets of their own okay they're not eight clones the original eight people who are not twins don't know that there's twins involved in this show at all love this they only think there's four other people they think there's 12 people in this oh my gosh and so they're all trying to find love but the twins have to like communicate back and forth like okay i talked to john about this i said we like salmon i hate salmon yeah

well sorry you have to you have to act like that now we're making salmon croquettes tonight so just get over it um so that's one option is that they're always going back and forth switching in and out kind of americate and ashley full house type thing oh my gosh i love this parent trap or you could also have it be where there's always just one twin does the whole thing the entire time and then at the very end when it's like the finale or it's time to like propose or whatever the end of the show is then the other twin comes out for the first time and it's like can they like discern that this is a different person like this is not the twin that i've been for a month no i think instead of having them both come out at once having like the very last rose or whatever you want to call it like like the very final thing before they decide.

No, yeah. No, that's the other trend. That's what I was saying. That's what you're saying. Okay. Yeah. Now I thought you were saying like they come out together. No, like he goes to propose to the other twin.

You're like, you're not the same person. And if they can tell, then you pass. Yes. And if not perfectly, then you just start swinging. Yeah. It's like you jerk. Like, yeah, you don't know anything about me. Yeah.

Cause like Emily, we can, I can totally tell the difference between Emily and Taylor. It's very identical. Yeah. They're pretty, uh, very distinct, distinct. Yeah. Yeah. You can tell them apart. And so I'd be like, what are you doing here? You're not, you're not Emily. You're not my wife. Oh, I love that. Gunner's wife. Because even if only one out of the four struggled and didn't know, or didn't want to say anything, that's the other thing thing is like did you do something different with your makeup your eyes look different like like that's that's offensive you don't want to say that you had two arms right i'm pretty sure yeah you were ambidextrous before and not so much now and i think someone needs to be gay okay let's throw that in not i'm not willing to budge on that. That's very PC of you.

Someone's gay. Yeah. Good. Definitely. Good for you, man. Just to stir the pot. Okay. We got one gay twin.

One's not. Creates this whole other conversation. Or what if, what, what if what happens is like one of the twins falls, like one of the twins is always like watching the secret camera. Twin on twin action. Yeah. And then they're like, I'm actually in love with this guy. Holy crap.

This guy's for me. I't know why why why did emily get to go first and find love and while taylor just sits back why not you know taylor gets jealous she's like i want to be in the front lines you know now we're talking yes this is drama oh yeah this is good love it okay while we're on the where are we gonna call it um didn't get that far but we should now twin turbos twin peaks twin peaks uh because it's in the it's a mountain house it's not key west anymore good for you it's in breckenridge yeah good for you like it's something like diversified yeah getting out to colorado after that after that pandemic enough los angeles reality shows all right done we need keystone um the key to love and it's in keystone the key to twin

yes a double shot at love yes i like it yeah double shot um while we're on the gay train gay parade a new reality show is or the second one that came up with was let's say it's very bachelor-esque bachelorette one woman 15 dudes okay 14 of them are gay one of them not gay oh no so she's trying to find out who is the straight one and like proposed or whatever like match with him and yeah okay the 14 gay guys are trying to have to like act hetero the entire time which would be awesome so and also there's probably some male on male action happening so that's that's like a whole like other like subplot of the show like you know they're they're getting after it sure and the whole time the straight guy is probably like you know just trying to act normal yeah but he's hanging around 14 other gay

guys so what's happening to him i don't know oh man yeah he morphs so you're saying it's pro-choice i don't know if he morphs he morphs and his morphs his preferences um whoa that would be nuts and so she's just and like the audience knows the whole time and so they're in on it they know who's who and it's just so fun to watch yeah you see like an interaction between we'll call her rachel and stefan rachel and stefan stefan's like hey i just i just love the way you uh you know you look tonight and then on the in the back is you know like like you have that other like side interview he's like outfit oh my gosh the sequins i don't know yeah that's funny great tv then she kisses him and she's like is that a

candy bar in your pocket? 100 grand. Payday. Whatever Michael Scott says. Do you ever see that? That reminds me. The movie, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Yeah.

Which, first of all, you could never make that movie now. I don't think. Yeah. No chance. But I think it's Jessica Biel who's the girl and Adam Sandler has to pretend that he's gay. And so she's like trying on swimsuits for him. And he's just like, well, I don't want to say too much but he's just like ewe yeah you're nasty basically i love how you say they could never make that movie again but

we're basically making the opposite of that movie it's a tv show yeah and it's going to be a hit yes we're winning uh emmys we're winning lots of emys for this. What would that one be called? You're not gay! Yes. Hey, we're wanting you to come on to a reality show called You're Not Gay. Imagine the girl. I don't understand why they're calling it this, but everything else about it seems awesome. None of them are dirty.

They all keep to themselves. Oh, man. We're going to call this one you're not gay perfect and uh yeah in the end that's what instead of giving roses the girl just kind of gives like a finger guns and says like you're going home because you're not gay uh sure something like that sure yeah why not so yeah that that just happened uh last night i had those ideas just during a facetime call i was like okay feel good yeah record an episode right now the ideas are flowing but that's why i stopped there both of those have rich potentials for drama i thought so too i was like for someone who never watches reality tv i feel like i know what it Yeah. Like gay twins. Now we're talking. New show!

Combine them together, baby. Your eyes. Now we're all hot dogs. Oh, hot dogs. Hot dogs. That's what they're going to be called. Double dogs. What is, oh, it's the, I never, it's the same movie where they're trying to protest like, you know, gay rights and he's got two hot dogs and one bun.

He's like, that look right to you. Does that look right to you? Good times, man. Ooh. Anyway. Okay. Back in the day, we had that one episode. I think it was even titled, What a Coinkydink.

Because there were a lot of Coinkydinks. Coincidences. We got another week of that. Okay. I'm going to get ready. There's only two of them. Okay. Only two? But they're good ones. Okay. They're good. Mainly that. Okay, I'm going to get ready. There's only two of them. Okay. Only two?

But they're good ones. They're good. Mainly one. Okay, whatever. I've said too much. I really should not say any more. I really should not. Okay.

You ever think of that word, by the way? No, I gave up because I wanted to actively listen to you. Appreciate it. Yeah. The first one is just, I'm at Micro Center, which by the way, you ever been there? Once, I think. it's always popping i think i got like a 216 gig or megabyte flash drive like a long time ago for like 30 dollars you know it's pretty it's always popping yeah like you think of radio shacks being like no one's ever there they're out of business now micro center is just like a big version of

that and they're crushing it it's like really like for the big computer nerds it is it's less like household like i need double batteries and it's like i need a new like fan for my custom built pc ssd that's the name of the oh okay i thought you're going back to the gay twins uh reality show um so i'm in the parking lot of there and there's a license plate that says uh todo bien todo bien and i'm looking at it. I have a ninth grade, uh, semester of Spanish under my belt. And I'm like, I think that means it's all good. Is that what it means? I think so. Okay. I thought so too. And I was, I'm like, just Toto all being good. And I'm just kind of patting myself on the back. Like, man, Jake, you're so smart. You barely took Spanish and

you're reading Spanish license plates. It's all good. And then you see like a picture of a dog in the corner and you're like, oh no, it's Toto. Like from Toto is good. And then. But wait, that's a Chihuahua. That's the Taco Bell dog. And he's saying, yo quiero taco bien. Yo quiero toto bien.

Okay. So that's the first half of first Coinkydink. Oh, what a Coinkydink. No, yeah. No, it hasn't happened yet. My bad. I didn't want to miss my drop. No, you were there. What a quick no yeah, no my bad I Don't want to miss my job. No you're there We got out we got a very dynamic very interesting timeline of events here

So now we're skipping we're skipping ahead a little bit or going back in time so something the last dance style Yes, okay They do love switching that time gosh which sometimes they're like I was getting into this storyline and now we're going back four years But it's yeah, it's great It's like on the other guys. Remember when the British guys like, in order for you to understand this, I have to go back and have to tell you about this and then go back here and then go back in the back. That's what I felt like they were doing.

That's funny. Last Dance was, I finished it. It's so good. Hot dog. It was so good. I mean, yeah, just, I want to watch it again. Me too. Um, okay.

So I did something this past week that I didn't tell anyone about it first. Cause I was embarrassed about it. These are my favorite ways you start stories. And maybe I don't, I don't think I've told you, maybe you've already found out about it just cause I was like, this is embarrassing. This is weird. Um,

wait, can I say something before, before you say this? Sure. Maybe I don't want to say it. I'm going to say it. Oh no, I'm scared.

I'm scared. Nevermind. You know what? Nevermind. Go ahead. I'm just kidding. Uh, the other night I'm scared. Never mind. You know what? Never mind. Go ahead. I'm just kidding. The other night I was checking somebody's location. I checked your location and you were off the grid.

That's all I'm going to say. Does it have to do with that at all? No, I noticed that yesterday. I was like, why is my location not being shared with anyone? Okay. So I turned it back on. Bummer. I was hoping I cracked the code.

You're like, maybe you've already heard about this. I was like, I do know you were dark for a while. That's impressive. Yeah yeah that you knew that so uh many moons ago back when i think i first played pickleball and i put it on my instagram story and it was my baby the week on the podcast a girl who followed me on instagram at the time said hey if you like pickleball my dad is like the pickle pro at chicken and pickle and gives lessons or whatever i was like cool so i kind of never forgot about that and so this past week isaac and i went and took lessons at chicken and pickle from like a professional pickleball player really and i was just yeah i

didn't tell anyone because i was like this is so embarrassing this is so silly did you pay for him yes oh yeah a lot uh it's 50 bucks. Oh! Per person? Total. Total bien. Total bien. Total 50 yen. Oh, wow. So did that without ever meeting his daughter. Just like she follows you on Instagram. Love it.

We've DM'd before. Well, you're friends. If she follows you on Instagram, she has clout to say whatever she wants to you and you need to listen to her. And I have to. Yeah, yeah. So she understood the rules and I did too. I was like, now I have to take a lesson because she told me to on instagram but then she was like why

are you getting within six feet of my dad you jerk i did get off on a bad foot with or not a bad foot it was just like oh maybe i shouldn't have done that you stepped on his shoe i stuck out my hand to shake his hand and he was like uh maybe we should do that yeah i think that was also because uh he was like representing chicken and pickle maybe oh, I probably shouldn't whatever So lesson is great. It's really fun and keep in mind This has been like six months between first DM and like now I'm having this lesson Yeah, and the very next night. We're all playing pickleball up at Meadowbrook. I don't think you could make it this night. It was um Isaac and I a couple other friends. I go to turn on the lights to like you know Rehit him whatever doesn't matter i

walk outside the park when i'm out there girl goes hey i she's in the darkness i don't know who this is i go oh what are you doing here not again you're kidding it's andy's daughter the next day ready what a quakey day so that was nuts i'm like whoa what are the odds of like me meeting you not only this like the most opportune time of me walking outside of the pickleball court right now at this time right when you're walking from like her picnic back to her car incredible timing of this happening and she recognizes me says hey oh she wasn't there to play pickleball no she she had a picnic at the park and was walking back to her car wow park picnic and then go to where i parked incredible

timing so like that's crazy isaac and i are both like impressed like that what is the what are the odds of that okay are you coming back to micro center it's all coming back i'm sorry this is taking forever but it's almost great this is awesome it's almost done i go to about a quarter of the way through uh a coffee shop uh the next day first time i've been in a coffee shop since the lockdown happened i'm like excited to go back to this one and go there coffee that's why you're going to coffee shops. And I go, and who do I see in there? No.

But the same girl. No. Again. Whoa, that's a winky dick. Lauren's there again. And so now it's like, I've seen a member of her family three days in a row now.

Chicken and pickle, Meadowbrook Park, Pilgrim Coffee. Yeah, Pilgrim Coffee is what it's called. Uh-huh. Like, this is crazy. This is so funny. Whatever.

How does this keep happening? See you tomorrow. Go out in the parking lot. Don't. And there is a license plate that says, Don't do it! Don't do it! Don't do it!

I'm not kidding. What a coincidencia! Oh! Oh. Coincidencia enormis! Wow. So do you think it was her car? Oh, wait, well, I don't think she was at Micro Center. I guess it could be. I should have asked. I don't think she was at Micro Center, but at the coffee shop she was rebuilding a computer that she found in the dumpster. It seemed like a guy's car. You go into Micro Center, everyone in there is a guy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, but she did say, hola, Jake. When I saw her. Yakeaki is that what they called you at yaki yaki yaki yeah yaki with the mr bibb oh wow those are some great 72 hours of like this is a little weird what and unfortunately i had to admit that i took pickleball lessons to say that so just i didn't can i talk can we talk more about that i want to let's talk pickle i had to admit that i took pickleball lessons to say that so just i didn't can i talk can we talk more about that i want to let's talk pickle i want to know more like what do you say about your game first of all did you think you were pretty good it was very complimentary

of isaac and i which is pretty cool of both of you yeah okay i forgot what do you say if you can hear come down and pitch in because isaac remembers it better than I do. But he said something cool at the end of just like, if you guys want to, you could be very successful in this sport. Something like that. It's like, oh, cool. You hear that, MacGuffin? You want it? He was just like, so how many years have you been playing?

And we're like, well, we kind of just started at the lockdown. Like a quarter of a year, maybe? Yeah, like mainly two months. Yeah. And so he was pretty impressed. Oh, no way it was just a fun combination of like you know most sports you know at least how to play them because you grow up playing basketball you grow up playing baseball so you know the fundamentals

big ball it's just been us and our friends playing so we don't really know we got youtube from time to time but still you don't really know what you're doing so he was uh very helpful from a strategy standpoint from a technique standpoint uh just like discernment discretion like when to hit balls when to put away balls, you know, just like all sorts of stuff. And I'll share it with you for 40 bucks an hour. I'll tell you exactly what you told me. Just kind of right.

Yeah. Dude, that's awesome. So yeah, it was cool and fun. Wow. Yeah. I love that you did that. Like, because sometimes I think maybe I'm way more into pickleball

than the rest of my friends. And I'm just annoying them by asking them to play too much. Are you kidding? I've been wanting to play three days in a row and no one has played with me. I know, dude. I know. Freaking this kid, I tell you what. Bo is sucking the life out of me.

Sucking the teat and sucking the life. I'll just tell you right now. I just can't stand it. One hurts worse. Dude, sometimes he goes for mine. I'm serious. That'll make you lose some weight he doesn't know he's like because he can't see yet you know he's kind of like blind like he's kind of see

black and white so he's like it's like it's like a fish you know trying to go for like those like you drop in like some pretzels in there he just goes for it and it's like no no no no he wants your little pretzels yeah there was a bite-sized i thought that it was a tiktok trend because there was a hashtag and it's like hopping on this trend and uh it was like film your baby after you pull up your shirt while your breasts you're like no no i've seen that yeah i know what you're talking about yeah okay with the country song oh maybe we've even talked about before either way i'm just really big into TikTok these days. I clicked on it and there were like four videos and I was like, oh, so this isn't a trend

yet. This is just like, I'm just kind of like, you know, it's a, it's a humid day. No, I get my shirt off. I don't know how TikTok works, but I didn't like it, like the video or anything, but I see those videos almost every time I get on TikTok. Oh, really? Yeah. TikTok's algorithm is pretty impressive.

Maybe it knows you're a dad or maybe it knows you've had your pretzels sucked on recently no he's never been successfully he's never successfully latched kind of slap him down come on hey that's great sure what we're talking oh pickleball yeah because last week i played six days in a row and on the sixth day i went for a two-a-day and then i haven't played for three days in a row. And on the sixth day, I went for a two a day and then I haven't played for three days in a row. Dude, I know we played some good pickleball. The last time I played, it was so fun. And it got so sunburned. You did. You did. So you took off your shirt almost immediately. I took mine off about halfway through. Smart as it is. Halfway through. And I was red and I'm still itchy at night. Are you itchy at night? So itchy. Yeah. I didn't hear right in the crease. Oh, it's so annoying. Thebone um yeah it is it is pretty rough yeah we're sunburned in years

that's crazy because it wasn't even that hot it was kind of hot i mean it's like 80 yeah maybe but it's still may in kansas yeah you wouldn't think the uv yeah would be that high that's crazy dude um it's also crazy to me in our pickleball group text and i'm not uh saying anything negative it's just legitimately in my stage of life it's crazy there was one day i think saturday it was just like hey can you play pickleball and then there were like three texts in a row of like let me check with my wife let me ask you know whatever i'm like i can't even comprehend that and like yeah like i'm saying not saying any of you are like wrong for doing that it's just so it was just funny it was like a big moment for me i'm like i'm completely in control

of my own schedule yeah like i need to continue being thankful for this i don't have to ask anyone to do anything right it's all good i don't have to ask my husband for nothing okay uh yeah totally i yeah because it's like especially these days man it's like like obviously i think she'll always say nah i think she'll say yes probably 80 percent of the time if i ask but i also want to be considerate of like maybe I shouldn't even ask tonight Maybe I should read the room a little bit. Sure And so sometimes I'm just like yeah, we've talked about this though. Like would you rather somebody text you back? Hey, let me check or just wait until they check and then text you back

Yeah, the worst is like hey, do you have any ideas for that they text back still thinking yeah because on one hand on one hand you want to know that they got it and that they're thinking about it sure but on the other hand it's like i that's a waste of a text just cost me 10 cents yeah so much of a waste of what was my waste of a text waste of a text to oscar anyway um because yeah it's like like because you complained the other day like yeah no one was responding no one's texting and i was for the record, I want to play and I'm thinking about it. I just don't know for sure if I can, I want to make sure that we don't have anything going on or that, you know, whatever. Catherine hasn't had a hard day with the kids. It's crazy. It's like kids, but, um, you know, and so I just don't respond right away. So now I'm at this like

awkward impasse. No, Iasse no i think here's the new rules if it's a group message you should not give a check-in because it's annoying eight phones at once okay i think if it's one-on-one and it's like hey i hear you let me get back with you later okay cool so you're doing it the right way sometimes you're doing it perfectly i am you're right i'm perfectly i am perfectly imperfectly i'm perfectly i am perfectly imperfectly i'm perfectly i am and i play perfectly hello every day i'm shuffling don't have too many updates on ola i saw him once the next night after we recorded he was in jeans i heard that because it was cold he said he was like it's cold i was like there's other pants you got soft pants or you only have hard pants

i just have hard pants my my pants are hard never mind i have hard pants. I just have hard pants. My, my pants are hard. Nevermind. Uh, I have hard pants. Fill in the blank. You know, the joke, you know, the thing,

but hopefully we'll see him again soon. We'll get back up there and start pickling. I can't. Yeah. I want to play. Yeah. Anyway. Uh,

I told you the other day, jokes are back. The jokes are back in town. Joke writing. Brad is back. Joke writing bad. I got a, uh, email the other day. They said, Hey. The jokes are back in town. Joke writing Brad is back. Joke writing Brad. I got an email the other day that said hey, would you be interested in writing jokes? This time we want you to write them for teens.

Ooh. I literally Googled popular things for teenagers. There's not much out there for that Google search. So then I Googled popular musicians and let me just tell you some of the jokes i have um what do you call a rapper that you hire to watch after your kids okay hold on a rapper i

always i every time i read some of these to katherine she's like that is the most far-fetched ridiculous question of a joke like that doesn't you don't hire a rapper to watch your kids oh kath oh kath a rapper to watch your kids i mean there's so many to choose from it's gonna be hard to like um babysitter nanny it's something it's a pun with a rapper what is it the babysitter oh the baby oh that's good that was one of the ones they rejected they were only directed three of my 50 one of them was the babysitter they're not up with the times i guess not rockstar is the number one song on spotify right now from the baby see i don't even know that song well between you and i we can fill in the people okay that's good this is such a dumb question what do you call a musician

Guy said Wednesday, W-I-N. Yeah, he spelled it different, though. He spelled it different. Get a load of this guy.

What's Katniss' favorite food? Peanut bread. Sullivan, get over here! Sullivan! He spelled it like the catching fire guy! Oh, goodness. Man. Those kids get it.

You know the thing. That is a perfectly timed joke. If we're laughing, imagine the teens. Oh, my gosh. They're going to love it even more. Back on the Chewbacca Moley, do you think we're laughing, imagine the team. Oh my God. They're going to love it even more. Oh, back on the Chewbacca Moli. Do you think we're going to lose chips and queso chips?

It's also no, no. I'm a COVID. Like, are we going to lose that? You know, right at restaurants? No, here's what they're going to do.

Here's, here's what the annoying people of the world are going to do. They're going to sell it for more expensive and they're going to make it in front of you at your table. That's what they're going to do. With a mortar and pestle. Yes. Like a little, it's going to be like, it's going to be like a front of you at your table. That's what they're going to do. With a mortar and pestle. Yes. Like a little caveman.

It's going to be like a small fondue every single time. It's like, okay, and now I'm going to go ahead and wrap in or, you know, go ahead and crush up the Gouda for you. And it's like, come on, just give me the, give me the stuff in the back that you mass produced. Like waiters already can be very annoying, but now when they have to turn cheese into queso in front of you, so be about 10 more minutes until i really grind it down into a liquid yeah i'll be taking care of you for you know just you know this was difficult back in the day but then i went to gold's gym for

a few weeks and then it's a lot better here i don't know have we talked about before just like the lose lose situation of not writing down people's orders as a waiter like who are you trying to prove like who are you who are you trying to impress here yes you know that guy i'll give him a 25 tip instead of my normal 25 he remembered that i wanted honey barbecue bone in that is nuts golly how do you do that and then let's say you don't get it right and it's like dude just write it down yeah that's fair i yeah i get it like what who are you trying like what you're trying to save paper use a phone get out of your evernote i don't care yeah you get two devices for free use them use them one for business one for pleasure yeah absolutely

your b and your p uh real quick on the note of uh personalizing your order or whatever doesn't matter just similar stuff this week i go to and's, as I've been doing a lot. Great call. Todo bien. Todo bien. Todo bien. Todo bien a los Andy's. Andy's is so much better than all the other ice cream places.

Can't even compare them. Really? It's like frozen custard to oranges. It's not even comparable. No, I just wanted to say it for that. I do love Andy's, though. And I've been getting the same thing every time this new menu item it's the drumstick concrete bro i had that the other

day it was awesome fire yes okay it's so nice it's so good i get it with no nuts i every time i would have the same way it comes with nuts and i get it with no nuts no nuts yeah so that's how i've ordered it the entire time but one time only, only once, happened this week, I say, can I get the small drumstick concrete? And can I have no nuts on that, please? And she goes, what, are you allergic? What, are you gay? I've seen you. You're on that gay TV show.

You're not gay. So why are you on nuts? It's got some layers to it. Oh, yeah, I know. Don't go too deep yeah okay moving on well not exactly but yeah i was like do you make it differently if i'm allergic or i'm not like no i'm just curious okay all right just trying to make conversation by making you feel bad about your order yeah then i'm like shamefully no just personal preference just just don't like it i just i

it takes away from the ice cream yeah i prefer just yeah the taste without it i feel bad you're allergic i'm like maybe i should be maybe you know what i think about i am i am you know what let me call my doctor i am allergic to red meat though you could have said you should have said no but allergic to red meat but i i do could have said. You should have said, no, but allergic to red meat. But I do have allergens. Pollen, I'm so sneezy this time of year. It's like, all right, dude. Yeah, okay.

And you guys are doing cash now, right? No, I have a credit card. I'm sorry I started this conversation. Yeah. Goodness. Wait, are you allergic? No. Caught me off guard.

Sorry. I should have preface. That's what waiters should start doing, is just make you feel bad about your order until you order the most expensive thing. Like, yeah, can I just get a can I just get a Caesar salad and just dressing on the side? What can you not afford like a steak? What do you do? You not like manly food? You not like steaks? Yeah. Trey's got a joke in his show where he asked people who like go to the audience and. We have any dog moms in the house and, you know'll ask you know okay and what's your dog and you know

it's the joke is the same no matter what they say every time like i have an english bulldog oh couldn't afford a golden doodle it gets in your lap every time it's so funny yeah i have a lab mix couldn't afford a golden doodle and they're like so excited to tell you like the very intricate like yeah he's a golden you know yeah purebred golden uh but his mom was a mutt i don't know it doesn't work it's amazing yeah how does this happen but yeah it's great i've even been like i should incorporate the audience more into it because it's so fun especially when you kind of like totally seems more random than it is yeah i think it's so great well and you're so good at improvising that you

could make it completely random that would be literally ask a guy like where are you from i'm from detroit well you couldn't afford i don't know you couldn't afford minneapolis oh what are you into like the lions and homicide cool this is great practice like mediocre football and murder you know just by looking at you i could tell you don't like winning in football a little double homicide yeah yeah oh you like drive-bys oh yeah john kitna john kitna oh man that's fun that is good where are you from uh just make fun of because obviously wherever they're at is going to be where we're performing right just make fun of everyone just make fun of where kind of like i think dane what's the name dana tosh yeah first name he like made a joke about like nebraskans

he's like and yes i did say that joke in omaha yeah i still said that in omaha yeah that's right goodness gracious uh one that's observation that i have from this week. People, a lot of people are driving with masks on. Why? There's probably people listening to this podcast that could very well be driving with a mask on right now. Let me ask you this. You taking showers with your swim trunks on? Yeah.

You Tobiasing it up on there? Tobias Bluth? It doesn't even Tobias something. Fumke. Fumke? Yeah. Yeah. Never nude. Yeah. You got joints out of the shower. Okay, who are you saving?

Who are you saving well the people in the steering wheel? It's like yeah, unless this is like a shared car. Yeah Where well still CDC said does spread on surfaces so many reasons to not wear a mask while you're driving Let's go ahead and put on blast our friend Scott for a second Scott Scott sell a mask while you're driving let's go ahead and put on blast our friend scott for a second uh scott scott sell um who came to pickleball the other day wearing a mask oh poor guy great great guy because he is obeying his wife's orders incredible gutter and i were talking about this yesterday we were like but that was the day you got so sunburned it was so human because it rained in the morning and so when that sun came out it was like hot dog it was hot it was a sweaty day of pickle and poor scott is his wife is a nurse yeah and she had just treated her first

covid positive patient well let's just say the patient tested perfectly positive perfectly positive in a negative way apples to oranges uh-huh yeah and you know i think it was fresh off that it's like sky you can play but i want you to wear this mask you know protect brad he's got a newborn so very like selfless move no totally but poor guy i can't even imagine that the muzzle just the chamber of sweat just a greenhouse of sweat in and around his mouth oh my gosh yeah just a sauna in there like just we played for three hours and i'd say he left it on for hour 45 at least yeah at least we'll say a whole three hours for sam if she's listening she listens yeah and then to top it off he uh a ball gets hit out of the fence and uh i had just bought these balls

so i was a little bit like i would like to have it back uh and unfortunately it went into this some sort of drainage that doesn't smell good it was nasty um could have been some sewage but then again i mean not saying it didn't smell bad but also saying like surely surely it's not they don't run the sewage it's in a very nice park in the middle of a very nice county i mean in kansas they would never this is where i mean like the daughter of a chicken and pickle pro chooses that picnic. He didn't have sewage there. Yeah.

The guy's making 50 bucks an hour. His daughter doing just fine. Yeah. So, uh, you had a rough day. It was, it was so ironic. Like the guy that's trying to stay so healthy is now wading through this nasty water. Yeah. Just like, yeah.

Fetch a $4 pickleball. Oh, it was awesome. So shout out Scott and the people that are driving with masks on. Yeah. It's time. As future would say, I'm really cool and I understand team jokes.

You're kind of the team guy. As future would say, it's time to take the mask off. Mask off. Take the mask off. I have nothing else to say to you, Jake, as far as my notes. FYI. Oh, no, that's as far as my notes. FYI.

Oh, no, that's not true. Limes. I love limes. I wrote that down. Limes are my favorite thing right now. My favorite chips for a couple of years now have been Totiros. Totiros con un hint of lime. A hint of lime.

Yeah. A hint of lime. You're going to develop quite a bit of residue on these fingers, but it's fine. No, I love it. And it's going to take several licks to get it off. Which is great. It's like, I welcome it. Yeah, me gusta the lime. Oh, more of it yeah i love hint of lime dude i i love squirting lime in my drinks i almost i i still contend that no one truly likes la croix but i think i might like la croix a little bit if i put a real lime in it. Maybe. But no, but I'm not going to go there.

But thought about it. No, not going to actually. Yeah. Limes. Great. Great. My most viral tick tock. Oops.

Sorry. I'm bad at pickup limes. Bum bum bum bum bum. Teenagers. Let me hear you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Limes are great. I wish it was more appropriate to take a nap in your front yard oh wow yesterday i was a little sleepy uh-huh overcast grass is getting a little long but in a good way it's so soft and i was like people are gonna call the cops if i nap here especially with my shirt off but i want to so bad would you just go straight on the grass yes like grass pad stg wow really yeah farm to table straight to grass that's how i do it free range free range nap grass fed um grass sled grass slept yeah uh i was why not just start it dude just start it it's fine i mean maybe just put a few blankets

around you to show like hey i'm doing this on purpose i'm not dead like that's what maybe people would think is like is that guy okay you're not dead you've always known that one time like four years ago my i was having a lot of trouble with uh the old chevy apollo she hit about 315 000 miles was overheating if i would come to any kind of uh consistent stop like red lights were terrible for me it was fine except for when i came to a stop yeah so i did get pretty strategic in how i drive places uh and one day i spoke at a school that morning so here i am being a good little boy for free speaking at like you know blue valley southwest somewhere 400 miles away felt like and on the way back there's construction so i haven't come to stops

and this is all coming back to the nap thing i promise you're're good. And so I'm like, this is going to suck. And when you know what my car overheats, I have to pull over to the side. But I woke up at like five in that day. And it's kind of a nice day out. I think maybe a little rain had started. Like, I have nothing else to do while my car like gets back to normal temperature. So I'm going to nap. And I woke up to two police officers knocking on my window because people have called them

and told them that someone was dead in my car. I had completely forgotten about this, but I was going through my Snapchat memories and it was like this day four years ago. And I watched this whole story. I was like, oh yeah. They thought it was a homeless guy sleeping and dying in my car. Yeah. People called the cops. I thought I died on the highway four years ago. Johnson County thing. Oh, you were on the highway when it happened. Oh wow. No, I didn't. I thought you were like on a random like side street. No, I think it was on like four 35, but it wasn't like cars were zooming by. Like there was slow traffic wow no i didn't i thought you were like on a random like side street no i think i was on like 435 but it wasn't like cars were zooming by like there was slow traffic so i didn't feel that in danger but also probably gave more people time to like see this dead guy like dude there yeah that's not just like a stopped car that's like a stalled that's

like a stalled heart in there so now yeah now i have this you know uh fear of being claimed dead when i'm asleep in public which is crazy because you sleep harder than almost anybody i know i get pretty close to death and so if someone is going by on one of their walks one one per week walk they see you and they're like maybe we should check on that guy like hey is uh is todo bien it's hey man todo bien you don't say a word you won't even move like genuinely you could be perceived as dead i could get it i get why those people do it yeah wow i should try to fake my own death tonight when i sleep gotcha i'm awake that's the joke wow okay well i don't know i i took naps in spain whenever i

studied abroad there i took naps in public a lot yes Si estas. Yes, I did. And it was great. But I feel like is it less culturally acceptable here in the United States to take a nap in like a park? Like if you saw somebody sleeping in a park right now, you'd just be like, what's that creepo doing? Go home. Yeah. Get in a bed. Get under the covers.

So. I always wanted to, when we were on like day offs from camp, I always wanted to be able to buy like a little, like an hour bed, like bed by by the hour like a little nap pod it's like i'm surprised this isn't a thing and maybe in big cities los angeles new york city maybe you can buy a nap pod airbnb airbnb bed for an hour but in brands in missouri they don't have it currently i'll say that okay but brands is not really on the cutting edge though no unless it's um you know country western entertainment yeah confederate flag uh making yeah stuff like that um should we get into a few voice memos we're already kind of we're like an hour and like 13 minutes into this so do a few i'm good to do

whatever i mean yeah kathryn's just at home watching our kids so i'm good with whatever i don't care i don't care about her i'm just kidding she's at home changing the oil in my car because her dad taught her how to so you know she's got time she'll be fine yeah we'll do a couple of these and then we'll get into the review of the week jingle end it there sweet this first one's from claire hi jake and brad this is claire currently residing in pennsylvania i am a huge fan of the podcast. Thanks for all the laughs. I wanted to ask you guys, I just found out that my brother-in-law has never had Taco Bell.

I'm not sure how this slipped by our screening process when he was dating my sister. But now they've been married for eight years and have three kids. So the best thing that we can do is to give him a fantastic Taco Bell experience. So my question for you fast food experts is what should his first Taco Bell order be in order to give him the best experience possible? Any advice that you could give would be great. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you, Claire. Uh, I'm allergic to most of the menu at Taco Bell, so I will let you start it off. And it's impressive that you're actually, it's proof that they actually have real meat because

for a long time it was like, I don't know what's going on in those Taco Bell meats. That was part of the thing that like made me realize I was sick. Um, I believe that Isaac McDonald had not had Taco Bell before he entered my friendship. And so I've really helped him out a lot. I've shown him the ways you kind of a Taco Bell ambassador. Yeah. Taco Basseter. Um, first of all, my, my opinion might be a lot different than Jake's, but my opinion is to go, don't go for the meals, go for all the menu, like a discount. Their dollar menu is pretty great. They have great, like you can get a lot of good food yeah good like uh beefy five layer burrito my gosh oh oh hot burrito i got something to say about that later i have a feeling you do um beefy five layer uh i really like the cinnamon twists don't don't don't yeah

don't don't not get them get them and if you've like actually though they will crunch the roof of your mouth if you have any kind of uh sensitive roof mouth or you'll burn your mouth on some coffee be careful we'll just treat it like just treat it like a hard candy just put it in there and suck on it for like three minutes for each other yeah like one of those oatmeal cookies exactly um and then uh what else would i get i i think soft tacos are great i don't know just anything anything's great there the chalupas are my favorite thing um but those are a little more expensive beefy five layers though you can get like they're so cheap and they're so big and good so yeah oh hot dog yeah you can't really go wrong because it's all just it's all pretty much the same thing yeah it's just

like let's just mix it a little bit differently let's put in a little bit different wrapping and every month give it a new name totally that like sounds like sounds Spanish, but is still a made up word. Chalupa? Quesarito? These aren't words. You don't think Chalupa might be one? Surely. Quesarito?

Definitely. Definitely a Taco Bell-ism. Chalupa sounds like something that could be real. I used to think it was crazy when we first got a dog at the triplet household back in the day. And my parents kind of teaching me like, you can't just put out food for a dog for the entire day because like a dog will eat anything you put in front of them you know i always i remember like learning that thinking that was weird but like oh okay like i guess i get it and for the most part never quite understood it until i was introduced to the beefy five layer burrito at taco bell because you open it up and it just

looks like diarrhea with cheese and you're like i'm still gonna eat this i'm still gonna eat all this yeah you all like you're like obligated to be like that thing is huge and then you're like and then you eat it all like you're obligated to like acknowledge like hey it's way inappropriate for me to eat all this but i'm gonna eat i am a little puppy who doesn't know his appetite. I'm going to consume all of this. I feel that way at Chipotle a lot of times too. I'm like, this is big. You feel the burrito.

You're like, this is going in me. Right. All right, here we go. Here we go. It's happening. Here we go. All right, Claire, good luck on that. Hope we were somewhat valuable ambassadors for you and your brother-in-law.

Hey, Jake and Brad, I'm Gianna from Iowa. Gianna. Pretty sure that's the Midwest. Not really sure anymore, though. Definitely. I'm coming from Trey Kennedy's Correct Opinions podcast where I learned that ghost runners is one word, not two. So I found you guys.

Let's go. Just one word. So yeah, my question is, do you have any wrong answers for tips on how to start a podcast? So any tips for starting podcasts, but only give me wrong answers. Yeah. I'm a big fan of the podcast.

Keep doing what you're doing. Really like it. I'm really liking the YouTube stuff. Thank you. Anyways, bye-bye. How to start a podcast. Always do it over Zoom. I'd say don't be face to face with anyone no no

and don't and just make sure you're like the uh audio in your actual computers is fine no one really cares about how you sound i would say go to a public library say hey do you have any old laptops that you're not really using maybe they are a little slower or micro center micro center also works yeah and just get something honestly just your phone. Use your phone to record it. And use your Blackberry. Like, make sure it's like an old phone, though. Yeah, because so that way you can use your actual phone to look stuff up in the middle of it. Yes.

And I'd say try to find the co-host because that's going to help. But try to find someone who you're not that familiar with so you can learn things as you go. Right. I've always said, like, the less you know about someone, the more you have to talk about. Yeah. There's a lot of successful just like YouTube channels and podcasts of two people who had never talked before going into business together. That's helpful. And I would say probably try to start it in a language that you don't know very well. Like, like never, you've never even talked in that

language before. We're going to go through the Rosetta stone together. Yes. One, one episode at a time. Last chapter first. Oh, sure. Let's just dive in. Let's begin. You just, yeah, I love it. You just said it.

You just said it in English. I was trying to make it sound like, let's begin. Make it sound like be in. Okay. Total begin. I guess there's nothing else to say then. Let's start.

So yeah, those are some tips. Definitely a stranger over zoom. Yeah. And, uh, don't think about it much. Yes.

If the fact you're already asking us, you've thought about it too much. Right. Yeah. Stop. Like do back. Yeah. Do,

do less and God bless. That would be probably the main suggestion. Suggest suggestions. Uh, okay. Uh, one, one more for this week.

Sure. Hey, Jake and Bradad this is janelle from ohio long time listener first time caller middle east i just need to first start off backing up my girl maria from ohio that chili and spaghetti combo is just not a thing for the whole state i can't say up here in cleveland i've never seen it served anywhere, never eaten it, so it's definitely not something I can generalize for the whole state up here in the Middle East. Along the lines of food, I lived in Springfield, Bolivar area in southwest Missouri for about eight years, and I was honestly kind of surprised that you guys are fans of Panda Express. When I lived there, I definitely

preferred like the mom and pop places that are on just about every street corner, wherever you go. So I wanted to know, what do you guys think about Springfield cashew chicken? It's a really unique dish and you definitely can't find it anywhere else outside of Missouri. So is it really Chinese food? I don't think so. Bye bye. Bye bye. Thank you, Janelle. Random. Lived in Springfield and Bolivar.

So have I. Crazy. Yeah, I don't know if we've talked about this on the podcast before, but Springfield is randomly the home of like Americanized cashew chicken. Like Chinese food. Yeah. Like so many Chinese foods there. I know what you're talking about though. Hong Kong Inn.

Nice. Good. Nice. Fried rice. Fried rice. Very good. Oh, hot rice. But I never got into the cashew chicken that

much because i prefer the taste of sweet and sour yeah you like the sweeter stuff yeah um so i'm sure it's great because that's where it started but i don't know i don't have that much to say about it because i don't prefer it how do you feel about people preferring or may not prefer but going to panda express when other options are out there that's fine too i think that's fine i prefer it do you and it's easier to know what i'm getting into rather than like you know what point let me try this store that says china on the sign it doesn't even have like a company name yeah it's like when you go to a place that rainbow china yeah or it just it just says dentist you know like those shops like i don't know if i trust

it yeah because they don't really have any kind of branding. Feet. It's like, what? What do you sell there? It's a service. You giving them out? Do I provide? Or who does who for what? Yeah. Yeah.

It just says China food or something. It's like I'm rolling the dice big time there. And I don't know. Well, never mind. No, no, no. I know exactly what you mean. Like, like, that's how I feel about Starbucks. Like, obviously, you want to support local coffee shops and coffee shops.

It's like something that's so local. And so like so much pride in local coffee shops, but you don't want to try, it's kind of a risk to try out new coffee shops. Cause you're like, I don't know what I'm going to get into. I don't know if this is going to be the right blend of whatever. And I don't know how, like the thing for me is it's, I don't know how long it's going to take. Like, uh, like you see a line, this is not that great of an example because this is a chain too, but like you go, you want to go to lunch and you're thinking about chicken.

And you're like, I know at Chick-fil-A that 10 cars is going to fly by, but I know at Popeye's,

like maybe Popeye's is going to be really quick or maybe Popeye's is going to take by but i know at popeye like maybe popeye is going to be really quick or maybe popeye is going to take me 30 minutes to get through that line maybe they won't have a chicken sandwich yes by the time i get there no we're out of that that's possible then there's 10 cars behind you and you're like i can't get out of this line i guess i'm ordering something yeah some something else so uh yeah janelle think that's cool that you live there she probably oh i'm sorry go ahead no you're good thanks Thanks for the voice memo.

That's all we have and Jake's pretty much from Springfield. It was born born there It's born at Cox South Hospital. Mm-hmm.

Okay, like a like a song that I make up like some sort of song you make up on the spot about it has a little Tune to it. Mm-hmm. Would you like a tune today? Uh Yes, oh like

We can do a review that we have or it's I just raised I skipped it Yeah, let's do review at the very end. Yeah, love it. So let's jingle it up. Let's jingle for now I would like in the air tonight by Philip Philip Collins any particular song herbs version part of the song Just the beginning great from the top. It does have a nice little intro for about 10 15 seconds, but it gets you in the mood for the song. So let's keep it in. All right.

From the top. Here it comes. This is one really long intro Yeah I can't dance much longer to this I can feel it coming In the air on Sunday night The ghost runs I can feel it coming in the air on Sunday night. The Ghost Runners. They're coming out with a new episode every Monday.

Monday morning. They have Jake and Craig. Who did it? Who did it? Who made this instrumental? What do you call instrumental where you live? Yeah, I heard Phil. Springfield is actually the home of instrumentals that have lyrics in them. That's kind of our thing. It's not fully.

Right. I was vibing. Right. When you think it's an instrumental, you get a little Philip. That's fine. Philip, you get, you know, the joke, you know a little philip that's fine philip you get you know the joke you know how it goes i don't even i'm gonna butcher it so i'm not even gonna try but there's some crazy meaning to that song like you should look it up i always heard it

was uh that he was watching someone watch someone drown and wrote it about this guy like not helping someone but then have you heard the next aspect of that oh well i've always thought well i've heard that you still watch someone drown too. Yeah. True. Why is that? Why does that make you better? Yeah.

You're bragging about it and making millions. Yeah. Um, I heard in this, whatever, I guess I'm doing it. Uh, he brought that guy up on stage and saying it to him.

Yeah. Yeah. You heard that part? That's like the legend. I don't know if any of that's true, but that's like the rumor. I think that's crazy. Is that like,

yeah, he brought the guy who watched someone drown to a show when he performed it for the first time. That's so intense. And it was like, yo, dude, I saw you at the lake. Yeah. And you should have saved that guy. I was only 100 yards behind you, but you should have saved him.

I had enough time to look at you and write a song. And then you got policemen behind him just ready to arrest that guy. Take him away. Take him away, boys. Yeah, that's how the legend goes that all that happened. Okay. Anyway, something you said. Oh, Sunday night, Monday morning.

Something I've been doing. Maybe in some of you guys, I think, are liking it. I've been putting out the YouTube version of our episodes right at midnight. Right when the clock strikes 12, Cinderella style on Sunday night, Monday morning. Have you want to look at it, which has been kind of fun. You get a few comments and some views before you even go to sleep. So if you're, if you're a night owl, you can be the first one. Heck yeah. And then, uh, the actual episodes don't go up until like four or five in the morning on like Apple and Spotify and whatnot. So just so you know, it is fun to see, like, there's a few times where I wasn't quite, I was like struggling to fall asleep. I was like,

Oh, let's see if the YouTube thing is up up and then i see like 10 people have already commented yeah it's awesome it's like holy cow yeah it's so cool so yeah check us out subscribe to us on youtube and uh turn on notifications so you're like oh that's right it is monday morning i have something to look forward to yeah yeah got a got a podcast coming out let's do a review of the week real quick brad what do you got what's's yours? I like the one from, well, first of all, runner-up shout-out to Janinator, my friend Jana,

who we both had romantic relations with. I dated Jana in high school for three months or something, and Jake matched with Jana on Tinder many years later. When Brad was in high school, too. That's how we met. Jana texted me. He's like, who's this this guy how do you know him

and I said oh I'm actually in the car with him right now your conversation is probably on BuzzFeed so don't say anything embarrassing my favorite one was from McGindle does not cure insomnia says I often listen to something whenever I have trouble falling asleep

fresh out of audiobooks I turned on Ghost Runners podcast around 1am.m., hoping to be lulled to sleep by the magnificent banter of Jake and Brad. But instead of dozing off, I was laughing, audibly laughing. And I think laughing to yourself while lying in an unlit room until 2.30

is something only crazy people do. Needless to say, I do not recommend trying to fall asleep to this podcast. It is just too dang funny. So I think that's awesome. That's a funny thing to think about. I love that, McGindle. I just love people,

or I love thinking about people listening to it by themselves and laughing because that's just something that's so rare to me to do anyway is like laughing out loud. And that's so fun that people are laughing at us. Thank you for finding joy. Thanks, McGindle.

My runner up is one from Dr. JP Whittier and just says, isn't Jake in a video with Logan Paul on YouTube? Thanks whittier and just says isn't jake in a video with logan paul on youtube thanks for the five star review on a video in a video with jay yeah answer is yes thank you for the vice review uh my actual one is jenny l niner i'm counting them correct origin there's a niner in there for sure yeah did i catch a niner in there and it's very long and very good i'll just summarize it so good she starts with uh actual google search results for what a ghost runner is which describes you know like

invisible runner and baseball style games and then gives her definition of a ghost runner which is it's just great two former k-lifers who love the chiefs chick-fil-a the office chocolate milk yada yada um this is seriously the best podcast you've never listened to these guys are so passionate about so many things in their lives.

Got a new campaign. Hair is awesome. Hats are dumb. Got a phone call with Under Armour tomorrow. Making some videos for them. Not like influencer stuff, but just freelance videography stuff. Sweet. I was going to say it's even more fun. Maybe not. It's different. That's cool though. And just more videos and podcasts

and stuff. I've been doing two podcasts a week for over a month now, which is a lot anyway. It's a lot during a lockdown too. and then last week i did three podcasts and then this week i did i'm doing another three podcasts okay so a lot of stuff going out heck yeah um but it's it's super great still i'm super thankful i was talking to isaac the other day i was just like it's crazy you know it's easy to just not look back because i don't do that naturally. But for three years straight now, I've brainstormed, filmed and edited multiple videos a week for three years. Wow. It's like, that's crazy. Yeah. And I think part of me is kind of exhausted and that's why I don't, I haven't posted anything on Instagram in over a month. Cause it's like, I don't,

I'm out. Yeah. There's only so much. Well, yeah. And it's like sometimes whenever your work also or some things that you like also become your job then you don't do it for recreation as much yeah that makes sense like i'm the same way like like house projects and stuff which is not really the same it's kind of apples to oranges with woodworking but it's kind of you know manual labor stuff like like everyone else like comes home from their corporate jobs and they're like oh i just want to you know do the law and i want to mow the lawn i'm like i do not want to mow the lawn whenever I'm done. Once you're used to getting paid for your labor, like why would I do it for free? Exactly. Yeah, exactly. So it's like, okay, I'm already doing all these other funny things.

Why do I need to do this other thing too? Even though I enjoy the Instagram. Yeah. So even just like a year ago, I think someone asked me what one of my hobbies was. And I said, uh, I like making videos and they're like, what do you do for a living? I was like, oh wait, I guess that's a good thing. But also do I have any hobbies? Thank goodness. I have pickleball now. Yeah.

Yeah. Exactly. Seriously. What's your hobbies, Brad? I don't know. I just, I don't have any. I watch TV a lot. Michael Jordan.

Uh, anyway. Uh, so yeah. Start on year four,. Yeah. Anyway. So yeah, start on year four. Multiple videos a week. Heck yeah. And now on youtube.com backslash ghostrunnerspodcast. Tell your friends. And if you don't, I'll DM you on Instagram. I get mad at you for not telling your friends.
