So Jake, sometime in the next few weeks, we're going to double record because daddy's going on vacation. And daddy is you. That is correct. Brad, Brad, the dad is going on vacad, uh, vacation with, uh, Catherine's family. What are we talking? Dubai, New Zealand, uh, lake outside of Dallas. We usually go to the beach, uh, but for, I don't even know what reason

we chose to go to the lake this year instead of the beach. No reason. Honestly, I don't know it. I'm sure there is one, but, but it's like, I think they were just like, Hey, let's do something different. But the beach, the beach, here's what will be fun. Let's go to a smaller body of water that really anyone could dump anything into at any time. That doesn't move, so it always smells great. If you love mosquitoes and larvae, you'll love this vacation. Let's not go whale watching. Let's go check out that rotting bass over there with the seaweed all over it. Oh, look at its rib cage.

Cool. Get Hattie over here. Oh! Come on down! seaweed all over it. Oh, look at its rib cage. Cool. Get Hattie over here. Oh. Hey. Come on down to the theme song. Good luck. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh.

On what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what,

what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, was that was fun and easy it felt like people are gonna be like how does he do it week after week i just posted today i just talked you know i was posting how good you've been on these theme songs and this is how you follow it up bob barker would be rolling in his grave right now you know where he went to universidad um no drury in springfield really that's a tough one to say drury drury kind

Rural. Rural. It's like a motorcycle leaving real fast. Rural. Okay, that helps a lot. Rural.

Okay. Okay. And I'm saying rule, which is raw. Spell it. R-U-R-A-L. You're saying, that's the word you're saying when you're saying that? I think that's how I have to say it to get that second R in there. Rural is just like R-O-R-L to say it to get that second R in there. Rural You're saying rule. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Rule. Rule.

There's no second R. Rural. There. Was that better? Hey, yo. I'm from Stratford, Missouri, so I'm pretty rural. You know what I'm saying? Rural.

Rural. Rural. Scooby, what's that? Rural. Is there a trouble point? Rural. Rural. Oh, man.

Good times. Okay, so I need to say that word better. I guess. No. I would suggest. I do. No. I would suggest you do it a little bit better, you dashend.

Rural. How did you say it again? That makes it sound like you're trying to say Ronald Reagan in like one word. Rural. Ron Reagan. Ron Ronald. Favorite president as both of his names combined probably RORO

RORO love what he did for the economy for the people RORO for sure so how would you pronounce R-U-R

RU no wait hold on R-U-R ROR ROR yeah yeah ROR final answer

ROR I would say ROR ROR this is this is the one people come here for right here baby I opened someone's first time you know I'm gonna check out the ghost runners oh is this what they do this is how they do it I would say rrr. Rrr. This is the one people come here for right here, baby.

I opened someone's first time. You know, I'm going to check out the ghost runners. Oh, is this what they do? This is how they do it. It's some sort of speech language pathologist podcast. What's it about? Yeah. It's not about ghosts. It's about pronouncing things.

Close. Oh, boy. How'd we get there? Urban? Rural? Bob Barker? Drury? Drury Lane.

Bob Barker from Drury. Drury is so much easier for me to say them than the other way there's all you are in drury drury rural there you go okay okay i just gotta think about jury then yeah good this is helpful yeah yeah yeah it's tough to i don't know jury and rural are just they're apples to oranges to me, dude. I can't figure it out. That's so crazy that like, I love it. I love it. I don't know if I have hard times saying any certain words. Oh yeah?

of your system jake well it's texas so nothing's podunk don't you know son oh my bad come on uh this lake outside of dallas instead of the beach that's right all right all right it's Texas, so nothing's podunk, don't you know, son? Oh, my bad. Come on. This lake outside of Dallas instead of the beach. That's right. All right, all right. It's going to be just all right, all right, all right. Giddy up. Yeah. What was that thing we said one time?

The catchphrase of the week was something about giddy up. Do you remember that? Oh. Oh, yeah. I remember I made up all this stuff. It's like saddle up and I don't know, something like that. Something about saddling up comment comment below with the time stamp you guys know yeah you know um anyway when is that

happening uh June 7th through the 14th we'll be down in Texas oh pretty soon so you feel you'll feel our aura when we're down there Texans yeah uh yeah pretty soon wow a little bit sooner than I wish honestly I feel a little overwhelmed right now with, uh, work and everything, which is a good thing. It's a good problem to be overwhelmed. And once you're in the groove, you'd rather just kind of stay here and knock it out. I would think anyway. Well, but then I also love the, like the motivation of like trying to get it all done. Like the challenge of like, Hey, work really hard for two weeks and then just take a week off and be like completely guilt-free about taking a week off. That's true. That does feel nice.

Like I could easily just not get it all done and come back and get the rest of it done. Cause you earned it more though. Exactly. You've earned a look at that, that dead bass. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Let's take a, let's take a nighttime cruise and it's still 105 degrees outside, you know, with mosquitoes all around us.

It's going to be awesome. That would be fun. The last time I was in a situation like that, right. To work really hard. It was right before the tour. And then I was back a week later anyway. So I was like, well, what did I work hard for? Now I'm stuck at home with nothing to do.

I remember this. You're like, I don't know what I'm going to do. I worked like 60 hours last week for nothing. I'm just back at home. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Everyone was home, man.

But, uh, cool. Vacation. That's fun. Yeah. Vacation. Yeah. Yeah. Vacation.

Vacation. You should really go. You should really go vacation. You fun yeah vacation yeah yeah vacation vacation you should really go you should really go vacation you should really vacation we haven't talked about Domi in a while I wonder how she's doing yeah I haven't seen her

you think she's still Catholic oh I think so yeah once you go Catholic you cannot go back back-a-lick you cannot go back-a-lick once you go Catholic

you do not go back-a-lick back on it anyway how are you doing um on vacation yes vacation reminds me of sunburn which i got a little bit of last week yeah which made there was a small portion in last week's youtube video where i might have i correct me wrong i might have taken off my shirt and like lather myself with aloe vera well what's crazy is i did the exact same thing and none of that footage was on there, but all yours was. Well, yours was in your bathroom and we were not recording a podcast.

You just sent that to me. And I was like, what am I supposed to do with this? You're like, oh, wrong person. Whoops. Oh, that was my brother. That was my brother sending that out. Oh, gosh. Oh, he's got my fingerprints just in case.

My dog, he booped up. I'm sorry. His snoop must have booped my phone and sent it to you i'm so sorry anyway because of that sunburn i became an itchy boy yeah more than usual that's the worst part i don't remember being that itchy but maybe just because it's been a while since i've sunburned maybe it's because i used a stick on my body yeah i don't know either Either way, I bought a product for the first time ever. I got lotion.

Oh. I like it. What kind do you get? I'm a lotion boy now. Vaseline for men? No. Dove? Can you even buy that kind of stuff?

Vaseline for men, you have to be married, I think, to buy that kind of stuff. You cannot get that over the counter. You have to have like a marriage license. You gotta get a prescription for that. You get it from your pastor.

The officiant at your wedding hands you a thing like, is this a certificate? No, no, no. Two have become one. It's for the... And now you get your Vaseline done. I don't know. Let's pray. Let's pray. I love it. It's just, I don't remember the brand, but it has

aloe in it, which I figured has to help. Oh, yeah. But I love it. Do you? Not even, like, I'm done being itchy. More than anything, I love just the residual smell on my hands afterwards. Okay. Cause it just smells, it's like deodorant in a new way. How often do you put it on? Not that often. Okay. I would just, whenever I think of it. Yeah. Um, it's right by my bed, which is probably not the best look, but it helps me like pastors come in. They're like, Oh boy, let's perform an exorcism on this man right now. It helps remind me that I own lotion. Yeah. I put it right by my bed in my

phone and every once in a while, I like, you know, I need a Kleenex or so, you know, cause I'm sneezing. And so I just put them all right there and easy can get to, to find it's allergy season. So I get sneezy and sunburn. Um, I don't even know where i'm going with this other than i'm pro lotion now i'm your potion i'm erosion vote yes on vote yes on proposition ocean uh never been a lotion guy myself but my wife loves it she's crazy about the stuff yeah oh yeah well my gosh she's gangbusters on lotion i got about 15 extra ounces and i'm probably never going to use so if she ever gets a sunburn, she can have mine. Perfect. But yeah, what's new with you? You got your, your back in business, back in business with a vengeance, which is such a blessing. Honestly,

business vengeance. Oh man. It's like, Hey, uh, you made a bad table for me. So I'm now going to throw this table on you and you're going to fall on the driveway and hurt yourself. Feel my vengeance. Yes. My gosh, that vengeance. Cool. No, like, yeah, it's just been awesome. I don't know if it's summertime, like people are more excited to do stuff around their house and renovate or whatever.

But yeah, people are wanting stuff, which is awesome. And they want to buy it from you. They want to buy it from me, which is really cool. So Ellis Custom Creations is doing well. Having two kids is hard. I've learned. Harder than having zero kids. Let me think.

Yes. Because I can't even remember having zero kids. Not really. But yes, I actually told Catherine this week and I was like, please don't take offense to this, which is never like if you ever have to say that to your wife, just don't say it. Oh, but she really didn't. She like and please, if you're listening, please don't take offense to this. If you're whatever, if you're in the situation, whatever I said, Catherine, I feel like you just now became like a true mom. How dare you? And I, what I said by that, what I meant by

that, I mean, was like, like when she had one kid, like, yeah, it was crazy at times, but it was just one child. Like I came in the other night from working and she was like cradling bow in one hand, like making dinner, like in the kitchen, like opening the stove and like directing Hattie. It was like, she was like choreographing like the play, like, okay, you go over here, set a pick Hattie, get, get the, uh, you know, get the plates over here. You know, it was like, it was amazing. It was like, that's a true mom right there. And obviously if you have one child and you're struggling, I know it's really hard, but like, yeah, when you have that

second kid, it's just like crazier. It's just, you're never off. You're, you're always working. And so, um, anyway, she's killing it. She's doing great. But, uh, there's been multiple times where I see it around. I'm like, wow, you are like just looking like such a mom right now. Like Mary Englebright would be so proud. Who in the world is that oh mary engelbright i don't know she like wrote all the like she has like all these pictures like classic like my mom loves mary engelbright's like calendars and stuff people girls girls out there know what i'm talking about okay oh i'm sure they will i just have no clue and also uh think speaking of little babies I got initiated by Bo into the Parents of Boys Club the other day while changing his diaper.

You circumcised your own son. Oh, subvenia. Yeah, I did not. I did not do that. Oh, I don't know. I don't know what the rite of passage is. No, just I got urinated on. Oh.

He just kind of, you know, old faithful came out. Let's just say that. Sure. You know, Niagara falls, you know, but, but in the video, in the, in the, in the movies, I'm sorry. Whoa, in all the media, um, in the, in the movies you see it. And it's just like this massive stream. Like it's like nails you in the face or something. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to tell you that's not true. It's, it's more like a leaky faucet. Like it's like nails you in the face or something yeah, yeah, I'm gonna tell you that's not true It's it's more like a leaky faucet like it's just like leaky upside-down faucet. Yeah. Well. Yeah exactly. It's just gonna like Boop maybe that's just your son. Maybe he's got a say that Curie's maybe how dare you he could have a weak stream How many bows do you know that have weak streams dude? I'll be honest zero

Every bow I know can really push hey yeah hey bow what kind of stream you got strong i knew it pee pee off this boat right now let me see it show me into the lake into the lake pee off pee off it into the lake i'm going to vacation here later so i want you to be here that's why it's so warm all the time it's never it's never refreshing this water i tell you what lakes are warm they're bath water man yeah anytime after probably early june which is when we're going but like july in the lake that's just that's just tepid it is i mean i get that katherine's family's from dallas but like that's such a long ways to go for a lake it'd be like we're gonna go to no no it's outside dallas oh you mean for me just for you like i get why you're going to dallas because it's like her family's there but from your side of things like what if i went to i don't know like

montana for like a pizza place right like it's like it's like hey let's go yeah let's go to new york and eat barbecue all the time it's like no no no no we have the barbecue we have lakes here we got warm pea lakes we don't we don't have any beaches in kansas i saw this guy follow on instagram he was just there with 10 of his friends last week when he was allowed to be with 20 boy yeah i haven't got any backlash yet which you were a little nervous about i'm i'm uh yeah i was i was predicting like hey so people are gonna have some have some words for you, but maybe they're just too scared of you. Yeah, maybe.

You're an intimidating guy. I'm so scary. Well, I didn't shave my mustache to try to be more scary this episode. Did you shave the rest? A little bit. It was while I was driving. Now that I noticed it,

no, it looks good. I like it. Okay. Yeah. Especially with the lighting on it. That's nice, dude. Yeah. Just trying to get a little more up here just to be more scary.

You could look you look like you could be like an indie rock like lead singer. Oh, that would be fun. I don't know any like Indian words, though. Oh, OK. Well, just watch Slumdog Millionaire. It's practically all in India. Who wants to be a millionaire? It's practically all in Indian.

Yeah. Yeah. I think the word rupees is in Indian. 50 million rupees. That was a great movie, man. It was. Check it out. You been watching anything recently?

Any media? Oh, I know. The only media I've been watching is while I woodwork. And so it's like I'm listening to it, but I've been listening to a lot of modern family lately. Big modern family fans. So I'm just like rewatching, re-listening to the episodes. And it's such a funny show.

Yeah? Especially because I think, not truly, but kind of, Phil and Claire are Brad and Catherine in a way. So I don't know if you watch that show. But not truly, because there's certain things about Claire that are unattractive and bad. Like, no, Catherine would not do that. She's probably not even a real mom yet. Like all the good things about Phil and Claire are us.

All the bad things are like, no way would we ever be bad. I think that's legitimately, even though obviously I know you're joking. That's how people view reality TV. That's my theory. Okay. Is that they see the good qualities in someone on The Bachelor. Like, yes, I am pretty. Yes, I am like, you know, attracted to this, but I would never, oh, I would never do that.

Oh, this person. Yeah, this person's nuts I would never. Oh, I would never do that. Oh, this person. Yeah, this person's not being impatient like that. I've never been impatient. I just can't see a world where I would be doing this. That's like the underlying attraction to reality TV. You see what you want in people, which modern family is reality TV in a way. It's like it's a documentary about a modern family. Yeah, that's why they call it that.

That was a weird noise I made. Are you watching stuff? What? Rawr! Rawr! What am I watching? Oh, really heavy, but the Jeff Epstein documentary. Holy cow.

Is that on Netflix? Yeah. Really? Yeah, it's very heavy, So just know that going into it. And I'll, I'll say it. He's not a good guy. Oh, spoiler. Wow. Spoiler. Hey, way to go out on a limb there for your beliefs. You know, I appreciate that. If no one else is going to say, I will. Yeah. It's a, it's pretty bad, but it is, I guess there are some parts, aspects of it that are interesting too. Cause everyone talks about it. You don't, I don't know anything about this guy. I don't know. I don't know enough to say anything.

But not a good guy. Okay. Not a good guy. I'll tell you that much right now. But anyway, your son's stream, I'm sure it's adequate. Okay. Yeah. It'll water the flowers.

Is there anything you can do to prevent the upside down old faith? They have this thing called a PPTPTP where you're supposed to put that over it while you change the diaper. I'm not doing that. Yeah. Cause cultural appropriation. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. They, they're supposed to call it the PP wigwam instead. Now that I'll buy that. I will buy the urination wigwam by Hasbro. I don't know. Anyway, no, I don't know how to fix it. I just, I'm getting real quick at changing those diapers though.

I'm like, kind of like a, a NASCAR pit crew. So like you said, roll a few times there. Exactly. Oh, I have something else to say about my family. I guess I hung out with modern or real life. Oh gosh. Both. Okay.

Like current family. But in real life, we were hanging out the other day with my, my sister was in town. So we were hanging out with my extended family and something I love about you. This is, you'll, you'll appreciate this because something I love about you, Jay, thank you. Is that you and I both can just like play a game with anything like oh my gosh anything's a game give me a ball in a row in a light pull light pull like we're playing who can hit the light pole in 90 minutes of entertainment yeah exactly minimum so the other day we were throwing wiffle balls to my nephew and he was hitting them and that was fun for a while and then

we had these bad mitten rackets and there was this bucket in the middle of our driveway my dad's like hey you think you can throw that ball in that bucket you know and so we did that for a while. And then we had these badminton rackets and there was this bucket in the middle of our driveway. My dad's like, Hey, you think you can throw that ball in that bucket? You know? And so we did that for a while. And then I was like, I think I'm gonna try to hit it with a badminton racket into this bucket. Um, and so I was doing it. It was hard. It was really hard for me. I had a lot of hard times doing it. Um, and at one point, my mom, my mom was like my biggest fan. Love my mom. She's a wonderful. And she goes, Hey, I'm going to go ahead and rebound for you. I'm going to be your rebounder. That's awesome. Awesome. Mom. That's so great. Thank you. And so, uh, there were a few times where I got pretty close and I thought I had it. And then there was one time where I hit it bounce, bounce. And it was like bouncing less and less. And it was like, Oh, that's going to be the

perfect right in the bucket. I like put my arms. I was like, yes, yes. And my mom, she reached out her hand and just tap the ball in instead of just letting it go in. She goaltended you. She, yeah, that's not rebounding. No, that is no. Yeah. That's tending to the goal in the wrong way. You can't do that in NBA jam. Even that's how illegal it is. I was so, I was like, Oh mom. Like, and she was like, she didn't understand. Like my dad, my dad almost got like, kind of really mad at her. Like she was like, he was like, why would you do that? Like he, she, he, she didn't understand. And it was one of those things where I was like, I have to give her grace because I just don't think that girls understand that kind of stuff. They don't understand when the ball is doing something or

whatever it is. Right. That's similar to an R. Kelly song. And it's going bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce. Take your hands off. I'm not motivated to roll once I get in the bucket. Yeah. Yeah. And so it was like, OK, what are other things that girls don't get? Like, remember that one story about Emily Domke?

Like, does not understand not to ruin the Royals game for us, like the playoff game. We talked about that. Okay. All I'm going to say is you don't even have to watch till the fifth inning. Oh God. One thing I've learned about, uh, girls in marriage, like Catherine does not understand that men can eat as much food as like way more food than you ever imagined. Like she always like, like we're like, uh, having people over.

She's like, oh, I think this is enough food. I'm like, Catherine, that's, that's pretzels. And like two things, a string cheese. That's not enough. She's like, no, that's plenty. I guarantee you, like, they're not always going to eat it all because they're going to be nice. And like, you know, oh, whatever. But like our friends could eat everything on this. Oh yeah. You know what I mean? And girls just don't get it. my mom did not get that that was like a like crushing to me that she hit that ball in for me so then i had to try for like another hour to get it oh no i got it eventually of course you did of course uh probably about a week ago isaac had some friends over some of them were ladies and they could not somehow this conversation started about like all the different uh maybe like body washes people use

or shampoos or whatever and they could not believe that first of all none of the guys in the room use a face face wash like what so what you just don't even moisturize your face at all i'm like i haven't in so many years now i'm starting to lotion my face you say and they're like so i was like maybe like once a week in the shower i'll take my body wash and like rub it around on my face. Like that doesn't. Oh, that's like that's a different thing. It's like worse to them. Yeah.

I'm like, it's soap. It's got to help. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's oh, it's oh, you need face wash. You need face wash. The funny thing is that I do use face wash and I have worse acne than any of you. Maybe that's. Seriously.

No. Do a little do a little test. OK. Get it out. Get out of your armada sorry noxema you're done your stock just went down yeah sorry if you're if you're a shareholder yeah uh yeah they couldn't believe i'm not a big shampooer that also threw them yeah well that's a girls don't not shampoo girls i think always shampoo do do they get out of the girls? So do shampoo or sham? Don't they?

I think that people know not to shampoo every time, but they couldn't believe that I would go like long time, long time without shampooing. So, okay. Yeah. Always fun. When you find those things that you was like,

you never think twice. So I'd be like, Oh, this is a, we got a gender gap here in knowledge. Like what? Yeah. You don't do that.

Um, the other day, like I've been kind of trying not to shampoo every time and the other day i was like oh i probably shouldn't shampoo this time but i wanted to kind of get a little bit of wash in there bar soap yeah yeah in my not not like the whole bar on my my top of my head it's soap just a little yeah a little this a little that it foamed yeah i've done that before. It's a nice lather. Plenty of times at camp. There was always a rumor going around that Irish spring helped like wheeled off mosquitoes. They didn't like the scent of Irish spring.

That's what I use. Yeah. I'd put that baby everywhere. I'll let you know. At the lake. Hey, there's no mosquitoes around me, baby. I'll find a mosquito's den. And that's probably where they live.

Mosquito comb? The mosquito lair. Mosquito comb? The mosquito lair. Mosquito comb. Mosquito. Yeah. Mesquite, Texas. Holy cow. Is probably where they're from.

Yeah, that was mesquites. Mesquites. I got. Hey, you want to go rollerblading? No, all I got is mesquites. Yeah. You know the thing. I was on a podcast earlier today uh it was a dating podcast but we didn't actually talk about dating that much they asked me a lot about tiktok and other and getting on outland and other random stuff which was fine because it's easier for me to talk about

that than it is dating quite honestly didn't have a lot to provide there but it was kind of funny we did it over zoom and so there were so many times where the wi-fi would lag or something and so they would be talking to me and asking me a question it's how it's something like okay jake so next question we gotta know when's which one do you think would be better yes and the audio like finally catches up really fast it's like it's being fast forwarded yeah it's all you hear is the end of the question yeah so i mean they're both good but i if i had to choose one i'd probably choose guacamole over queso yeah i'm just taking shots in the dark what would what would you choose if you had one um i mean you gotta go 97 bulls come on i mean come on come on over 98 on. Over 98 degrees. Really? Okay.

What's your favorite number in the nineties? That was probably the question. So, uh, and then I don't know. I didn't know where I was going. I'm sorry. And so if it was up to you, would you say yes or no to that? And why? Well, I would always say no. no um because i was raised that way that's just something i've always been told like from day one from my dad just always say no uh yeah that's good you would have been great what was the question uh it was would you um would you gosh i'm laughing tonight dude and i am struggling with the improv i don't know i was trying to think of something incriminating yeah right i couldn't think of anything fast enough um but anyway yeah

that was fun i just can't remember the name of it to plug it whatever um well what do you think okay i have a i have a premise and tell me what you think about it i think that talking like video chats are always worse than any. It's the worst way to talk to anybody. It's the worst way to communicate. How is it not better than it is? Yeah. Technology wise.

Right. It's it's I feel like Skype in college when we did it is the exact same as Skype today or FaceTime today. And how is it not 1080p? How are the cameras on a computer not better? How is how is their audio lag? Right. So much with Wi-Fi. I'm so close to this router that is very fast. not 1080p how are the cameras on a computer not better how is how is their audio lag right so much

with wi-fi i'm so close to this router that is very fast and we pay good money for you know i just don't get it yeah i just think if i'm gonna have any comment unless it's like with a little baby where i'm not even gonna really talk to him i just want to see him any other kind of conversation just call me yeah you know facetime audio yeah i've been trying to get into that more it's so clear. So why can't they transfer that with the video? I don't know. Come on.

It's like looking in some beautiful Bermuda beach and then going to murky mesquite. Oh man. Don't. It's so murky. Just rub it in. I can't hear you. Rub it in like the clay mask that we're going to have to have. Or my aloe vera lotion.

Okay. Yeah. That too. All over my back. Oh my gosh. Shout out to the numerous girls on Instagram who said, I'll rub some aloe vera on you. Ooh.

You get pretty lonely in the quarantine times. I don't normally get those kind of DMs. I was like, holy cow. It's just aloe. Calm down. I love you long time. I have Vaseline in my bedroom. I'm not married, but I got a guy.

I got a guy. Who's your Vaseline hookup? Who's your wedding officiant? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. In other news, we got another political thing to talk about real quick. Just another. We are the biggest political podcast in Kansas.

So we are the most political podcast in Kansas. We've been going back and forth whenever the opportunity presents itself between Biden and Trump and just kind of some funny things that they say, it's Biden's turn. This is something he said a week or so ago. I'm prepared to say that I have a record of over 40 years and that I'm going to beat Joe Biden. He's like, I'm going to beat Joe Biden. He thinks he's going to, he's like i'm gonna beat joe biden yeah he thinks he's gonna he's racing against himself what i don't know that's all the context that we get uh i mean there's more of it but he didn't correct himself he just keeps going has no idea they just said i will beat joe biden you think he said on accident though yeah or you think he's like saying some weird way of like

i'm going to beat the old joke i don't know no no i think you think he's like saying some weird way of like, I'm going to beat the old Joe Biden. I don't know. No, no, no. You think he was trying to say Donald Trump and he said Joe Biden. That's what's so crazy to me. It's like, how do you not know the other guy's name? And how do you put your name in? Right, right. Like, I understand if you accidentally say Barack Obama or Mike Pence or somebody else.

The wrong guy. But your own name. I'd never just say Brad Ellis. I'd never use my own name out loud. Like obviously we, everyone screws up talking. I screw up talking more than anyone should be allowed to. It's all the podcast making word good all time, all time, all time. But I just thought it was so fascinating to like, you know who I'm mad at? Jake triplet. I mean, Oh gosh. But then I say that? I would catch it. And then he just keeps going like nothing happened.

Played a kid. Kid you. I'm prepared to say that I have a record of over 40 years and that I'm going to beat Joe Biden. Is he just straight faced? Yeah. Yeah. He's there to make a point. He has a record of over 40 years. He's here to beat a point. He has a record of over 40 years.

He's here to beat Joe Biden. Can't make it any clearer than that. I don't know. That's perfectly. That's perfectly. He perfectly did. I think he speeched perfectly there. Oh my gosh.

I'm here to beat him. So I guess more to come. Let's see if he beats Joe Biden. Yeah. Something to look forward to. How does Joe Biden beat Joe Biden? You'll see. You'll see.

November. Like if he wins? Does that mean he beat Joe Biden? You'll see. You'll see. November. Like if he wins? Does that mean he beat Joe Biden? Told you guys. Did Joe Biden win? Or if he loses? He's like, well, I mean, the guy has 40 years of experience. What are you going to do?

I don't know. It's hard to beat a guy like that. Wow. Oh, real quick on, you know, beating the competition. Isaac and I have joined a pickleball league. Oh, talk about it. Just real quick. Just real quick.

Talk about it, baby. Chicken and Pickle opened up leagues. They had social. Chicken and Pickle is? My favorite restaurant. They're the spot. What are you? I don't know.

Sorry. Just in case people don't know what Chicken and Pickle is. Chicken and Pickle. It's a Mad Lib. I haven't know. Sorry. Just in case people don't know what chicken pickle is. Chicken pickle. It's a Mad Lib. I haven't filled out yet. Let's see. Bard Grill rooftop is coming. I actually did see that.

It's called a wooftop. So I assume it's dog something. Let's hope so. I don't know. B-Y-O-D? Will they have dogs provided? Oh my gosh. I've never been to a wooftop before.

I would go to a wooftop if that were the case if dogs were provided uh smoking or non uh yeah can i get non with the french bulldog please dude i was in a park earlier today and uh also i'm pretty sure i fell asleep in the grass which is kind of like what i said yeah yeah i didn't even mean to man in the grass yeah had the mustache too present out, that helps you fall asleep. The creepier you are, the easier it is for you to fall asleep in a public place like that. Yeah, it's a very little known fact. Next week, your mustache is going to get

even bushier and you're just going to be like just falling asleep everywhere. I go back to my car and it's turned into like a van, like a white windowless van. But it has like a little bit of like really well done like graffitied art on the side like well there's a mustache i guess that's me what are you gonna do uh yeah i was on this nice like hill and i was just there to just like think and like you know just whatever and

i'm yeah i felt the feeling of maybe waking up why am i saying this oh so many guys with a dog and they had no trouble starting up conversations. No way. No way. That's the easiest conversation starter of all time besides a kid. But usually if you're starting a conversation with a kid, you're you're good. Yeah. Or if you have like a Mohawk. Hey, have you seen my Mohawk? That's such an easy way to start a conversation. Trust me. This one guy, though, did not have his dog on a leash. And that was actually pretty entertaining this is pre-nap just watch him chase his dog around this park hey hey hey hey hey was it worth it his dog is just i mean it's finding every other dog they're giving them the business sniffing behind sniffing the front running to the other dog and this poor guy i think he went

there to walk and he ended up going on a run well it's like yeah and he's like i'm so sorry about my dog and it's like well yeah you should be because you didn't put him on a leash didn't leash him yeah okay all that's say wow chicken and pickle is this um uh bar it's a place you restaurant where they have pickleball too it's cool and isaac and i wanted to join a league together they had social or competitive we We're like, well, I guess competitive. That seems pretty intense for, you know, month three of playing, basically. And even on the way there, I was telling Isaac, I was like, I just hope we belong in this league.

I hope we don't get just demolished and it's like embarrassing. We should have been in the social league. But we're 2-0, baby. Two matches down. Let's go. We'll see you there next Wednesday. Hopefully have some more good things to report back next week. So it's really fun.

Can you imagine if you played the social league? Yeah. Good thing we didn't sign up for that one. That would just be no fun. It was. I did. It was different not playing against you guys, though. I feel like I couldn't trash talk.

Yeah. You know, against these random guys who are so polite, almost too polite. It's not even fun to beat them. Hey, good hit, man. No, no, no, no, no. Great job, man. What was your name't i forgot to catch your name what was it like dude we're playing against each other where's your edge where's your competitive edge probably lost what about like maybe maybe you misinterpreted the definition of the social league

like maybe it's actually really competitive as well they just want to get to know people first it's just like there's an like a social hour before you play like you have the would you rather guy like you're talking about like hey, just wanted to take a few, uh, you know, I'm an Enneagram seven. So I'm going to start the party and, uh, just wanted to do a quick, uh, uh, icebreaker with you. Highs and lows, happies and crappies. And, uh, just tell me what your, what your name is, where you're from, uh, what your major is. And we'll go from there. And your favorite thing about pickleball that relates to your favorite food. Okay.

And go. If pickleball were an animal, what animal would it be for you? Those questions. My gosh. Oh, man. So yeah, maybe. Maybe I misinterpreted. Yeah.

So maybe like those guys are just like, but they're just talking the whole time. Like they're hitting it back and forth, like slamming on each other. Full conversation. Okay. So did you talk to your boss yet? Uh-huh. Okay. Now, which boss is that?

Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Okay. I was forgetting who was like day-to-day and who was like big picture Yeah, yeah, I just don't really get it either but you know, maybe the lake was just a little bit cheaper, so So, you think you really meant to say Joe Biden? Sounds like I'm missing out because I love to be social.

That is too bad. That's what you should just go play in the social league and just not stop talking the entire time. What do we think? All right. I got some bullet points written down, but I don't want to just totally like commandeer this entire game. So you guys feel free to hop in whenever.

Doesn't matter to me, guys. Oh, man. I played chicken or I didn't play chicken. I played chicken. I played pickleball with your dad this past weekend. That happened. That was a great time. That was a good I played pickleball with your dad this past weekend. That happened. That was a great time. That was a good night of pickleball.

That was really fun. It was fun. And it was like almost all people that I didn't really know very well. Yeah. We had some new people there. You knew Shia LaBeouf though. Yeah. Yeah.

You have a friend that looks exactly like Louis Stevens. Louis Stevens, grown up peanut butter, Falcon, Shia LaBeouf. And so, but your dad, man,

just, he was cracking me up and I was cracking him up, but I wasn't even trying to, I was just playing, I was just playing pickleball. And he's like, he just thought I was hilarious out there. I just think he wasn't, he wasn't ready for Bhagavan. No, no one is ready for the quickness of those hands. No one is. Well, in order for me to be competitive, I either have to be physically athletic or I

have to just be athletic with my hand-eye coordination. I choose to drink Dr. Pepper and eat McFlurries. And so I just have good hand-eye coordination. It's there. Yeah. It shows. So anyway, it's been fun. Yeah.

Before the, I'm just not remembering, before our first game, first match ever. You know, this is the first time we ever played anyone who's not you or Peter or Gunnar, basically. The other guys are like, hey, are you guys, you know, this is the first time we ever played anyone who's not you or Peter or gunner Basically, the other guys are like hey, are you guys um, you know, whatever like yes like before we start you guys won't warm up It's like oh sure and so I go on Isaac's Side like thinking we're gonna be on the side, but then one of them goes over there, too I wish you could have just like seen this dynamic of like my face trying to figure out what is going on It's like I guess you warm up with your own partner across the net, but Isaac and I, and this other team are doing some sort of weird pickle waltz where we're all

walking around each other. How do I, how do we warm up? We've never done this before. Honestly, now I'm a little nervous. I don't even know the rules. How do we real quick?

How do we keep score this game? Yeah. Okay, sweet. Okay. I got it. I got it. I got it.

Imagine like a, like in baseball, like you come in and you're like, Hey, you want to go ahead and warm up? And it it's like you're talking to the other team's catcher like you're about to go pitch like yeah yes yeah yes with me with me or beforehand well maybe you should maybe start your own uh team yeah i guess that makes sense yeah but it's just weird when it's across the net it's like no you're an enemy enemy territory we shouldn't be sharing

the space. Yeah. Hey, get off me, man. Our shoulders could touch. Yeah. Are you,

are you a lion or an otter? Come on. I'm afraid to ask what that means. It's like a, it's a personality test. Oh, I thought it was like a, maybe he's a golden retriever.

I don't know. Golden retriever, otter. Oh no. Cause I know. Oh no. No. I was like,

Oh, weird that Brad even knows to say that. That's surprising. I knew what you were talking about. You're not gay. Shout out to our reality show we came up with last week. Yeah, thanks for explaining it. If you don't know what we're talking about. Anyway, pickleball's great. We just cannot get enough of it.

It's so awesome. It is, man. It's so great. If you're even at least a bit coordinated, you need to get out there and start playing. It's so fun. Get it. Get going. Get out there.

For Trey and I, some middle school Maddox conversations have kind of heated up to the point where we've like written out a lot for what season two

could potentially look like, like even like different, like episode. Oh yeah. Not like the script, but like this episode could be about this, this and this.

And looking like, I'll have a role again. So we're in the process of trying to pitch it to Facebook, which is cool. Oh cool. And see if they'll buy it. Trey's agency is trying to get

some sort of higher level, like executive producer to like come on boards I guess it's easier to pitch and it's probably not even worth saying because I know this is not going to happen because this is just how Hollywood stuff seems to work in my experience but I guess they're trying to get Kevin James on board what for season two and like it's not going to happen I just feel like it's not but I mean what's he doing these days I don't know what he's doing he made some Netflix movies he's he's ready for you he's probably free yeah but uh kevin james would be i love kevin james i think he's so funny oh he's awesome i don't even know what he would do i don't

know if it's just like a like a like a queen of england kind of thing it's more like a queen of england uh oh i can't think of any of the words it's more like a king of queens is what you're thinking no no i have seen the queen of england it was funny but you't think of any of the words. It's more like a king of Queens is what you're thinking. No, no. I have seen the queen of England. It was funny, but you're thinking of king of Queens. It's like a title. That's more like, what's that word? It's more, you're not really doing things.

It's more title. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Titleist, the golf ball brand. Kind of like Mark Wahlberg being the executive producer of Entourage, but he didn't really do anything for Entourage. Sure. Like that. I feel like it could be something like that nominal that driver we're struggling with words the last few weeks can't think of a hot dog but um basically very very exciting because

season one was more like all right we're trying to cram four episodes into like 25 minutes and just so much stuff got cut out and it wasn't it wasn't as good as it could have been but season two is hopefully like 10 episodes all 20 20 minutes long, like a full season of television. Sweet. You can do so much more with that. So exciting. Love it.

Yeah. It's pretty fun. Uh, he was, he had an article in Kansas City Star the other day. Did you see that? Kevin James? Trey Kennedy and middle school Maddox. Wait, no way. Yeah.

My mom sent it to me. I don't think Trey or I know about this. She's one of the only people that probably has the subscription to the newspaper. I was going to say, Kansas City Star is about a paywall. I haven't read Trey or I know about this. She's one of the only people that probably has the subscription to the newspaper anymore. I was going to say, Kansas City Star is about a paywall. I haven't read anything from them ever. Oh, this was the actual physical copy of the Kansas City Star newspaper. I'm sure it was online as well.

But yeah, she sent me a picture of it. It was just about Trey? That he made this show? Yeah, it was like he plays a middle schooler with a beard. And he's a superstar show or something like that. I don't know. Let me try to find it.

But yeah. Did it talk about his karate instructor by chance? Like his role? Honestly, I didn't zoom in well enough on the picture to read much. He's 27, has a beard dot, dot,

dot. And he has a hit show playing a kid. That sounds like Trey Kennedy. It is. Wow. In his web series, middle school Maddox, Trey Kennedy is an 11 year old who spends his days

playing video games and rolling his eyes at his mom. Mothers love it. The moms love it. It's true. Huh. So anyway. That's cool. I had no idea.

Now you do. Thanks. Thanks, Georgeann. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks, George. I'm trying to think other other little updates more videos I made a video for that girl the girl who you are pretty sure that I'm gonna end up marrying

so maybe I hurt my hurt myself here oh but uh made a video for her to be on The Bachelor and it's going well from what she can tell she's like gotten two callbacks from this casting producer she thinks she's around in the top 50 and they take like i don't know 25 30 girls yeah i think she's pretty far how does she like what did she say like what makes her think that i guess the casting producer said like there's only six of us okay and we have a meeting you know whenever sometime soon and we're each uh bringing to that meeting like only a handful of people okay and so i guess there's somewhat of like how much is a handful kind of thing but even if they each bring 10 you know that's 60 people well i only

have one five fingers on a hand and that's the thing it was over the phone so she didn't know how many fingers she had oh sure okay i don't think it was a zoom call even then it probably would have been distorted yeah even you would have been what is that is that even hand so i don't know how many people she can grab with one hand. But yeah, kind of exciting. Wow. So might have gotten gotten my wife on The Bachelor. I mean, that's that's classic romcom.

Like, oh, no. Hey, she's she does. She's not interested in me. She's going to be on The Bachelor. Yeah. No, no. She doesn't like me. I mean, I made her bachelor video.

Yeah, that's a new age. New age rom. Right right come um i've been listening to a lot of top 40 lately oh um and i kind of liking it you're thinking of e40 i've been shaking and grooving and moving trying to get to you in that booty trying to get to you is that what you meant maybe if that's on the top 40. It's from like 2005. Probably not. Maybe it'll come back. Top 40 music though. The genre.

Yeah. I just found myself on 95.7 The Vibe the other day and just been vibing it ever since. The radio? Yeah, dude. I could see where it makes sense. If your mom's reading the paper, you're listening to the radio. I don't know why I was on the radio like recently. So now it just defaults to that unless my phone's plugged in. So I'm just like, yeah. Like the other night I was listening to usher came on and i was like oh yeah um literally

i said oh yeah um that's funny so anyway just raise your kids how do you next birthday just get her like a telescope and a scroll like a old soul like a like a landline. A typewriter. I don't know. Yeah, a butter churn. An aloe vera straight from the stem, not in the liquid bottled form. Absolutely. A compost pile for her to cultivate her own crops. Good for you, man. Supporting the radio.

Yeah, dude. But honestly, I don't know if it's the summertime or new music that I like better or what, but I'm enjoying the music I'm listening to. Yeah. Like I give a hard time to a lot of the music that's popular these days, but most of what's on that radio, I'm like, I'm vibing. You're shaking and grooving and moving. How does it go? I don't know that song. It's called a you and dad of which, you know, mid two thousands, of course, just a you, you and dad, you and dad. It's nice. I like it. I support local advertising by just looking at billboards. Good for you.

That's how I do my part. Yeah. Like, they can tell how many people viewed it. Yeah. It's just like Facebook. Well, I write my congressman. I say, 14 this week. No contact.

He knows. Hey, Mr. Moore, just 14 of them. Go ahead and mark me down for 14. I'll take 14 and, well, 14 and a half. I was in reverse, but I was looking at it, but it was out of my rear view mirror. So I don't know. Yeah, anyway, top 40. Top 40.

Shawn Mendes, though, there's a song by Shawn Mendes, Do Not Like. Oh, no. What do you think? I can't say, don't, don't, don't, not about you. I can't believe that's still on the radio. Exactly. That's probably why I don't like it because I've heard it before. Yeah, it's pretty old.

And they play it all the time. Really? But they play some fun ones out there. I tell you what. Probably Dua Lipa, dude. Yes, Dua Lipa's on there. She's my girl. And that makes me feel really cool when I already know some of the songs in the top 40.

And you've used it in your teenage jokes. Yeah. Dua Lipas. Oh, yes. Been doing some more jokes lately, too. More jokes. Oh, yeah. You got any for us?

Oh, sure. Oh, I can't wait. Let me pull them up real quick while you make a joke of More jokes. Oh, yeah. You got any for us? Oh, sure. Oh, I can't wait. Let me find. Let me pull them up real quick while you make a joke of your own. Oh, OK. Speaking of top 40. Oh, yeah. I thought of a joke.

Speaking of top 40. What's it? Who's a baby's favorite musician? Lady Gaga. Oh, I'm right now. On the spot. That's a good one. You've been on me later. Oh, give me a number down on the spot. That's five dollars. That's a good one. Yeah, you've been mommy later. Oh

Give me a number one through 5013. Oh, yeah, 13. Why was the Doritos so good with technology? Oh cuz he was he was raised that way cuz he was a computer chip Oh 42 42 says oh This one this one. I'm like they're gonna reject this. What is Hitler's favorite board game? Oh good start I don't know Nazi Oh, this one, this one, I'm like, they're going to reject this. What is Hitler's favorite board game? Oh, good start. I don't know. Nazi.

Wow. I chose a good one. Like, okay. Nazi that coming. Like I always send 50 and they always reject like at least five to 10 of them. And so I'm like, I'm just going to send them all and let them reject some because they're always going to reject some like, and you never know. So shoot my shot on all of these., the dice. Oh, Nazi. Oh, that's funny. Back when I have a full high. I think they almost, it was like a policy thing. They would always like reject five,

no matter what, no matter how good they were. It's a good thing they have to do. You just keep, you got to keep them humble. Yeah. Yeah. Humble salt. Okay. I want to hear more. This is great. 26 please. 26 says, what do you call it when a cow tells a lie? Uh, fib, fib, fibering. Bologna. Ah, good.

Which is kind of a stretch because cows and bulls, different. Different gender. You know? Yeah. Uh, anyway. Uh, number four. Last one. Oh, number four says, why was the running back so anxious

it was always rushing rejected rejected i rejected i redacted none of my house uh he was always rushing oh okay one more what do you call it when a job pays you completely in vegetables uh a year's salary. Dang it, Jake! Yeah! A high salary position. Oh, okay. High salary position. That's good.

Thanks, man. That's fun. Had some fun with them. So, how many, is this 50 this week? And then I guess you're just here back, hopefully 50 again next week? No, I did 100 last, like, I've done 150 since we've, like, started it back again. Yeah. And it's still for teens.

Yeah, still for teens. I can tell. I'm'm just i'm just throwing yeah you could tell like celery is a big teen thing these days they're into it yeah they're really into just metabolizing without having any calories intake i saw teller on tiktok one day so there you go how do we get there what is it oh top 40 top 40 hot dogs hot dogs anyway that's cool man i'm glad you're making money writing jokes trying look at us little joke writers we are funny people little joke writing boys that gaga joke is going to kill with the teens uh should we get to some voice memos or you want to talk about some other stuff What do you think I got nothing else to talk about man We should not have a podcast I got nothing to say to you

Actually do you think that like Okay first of all Did you ever have a point in high school Or even junior high or college Where you and some of your friends said We should start a band I was never musically inclined enough To get to

Freshman year of college honky pie. Just remember it. Yeah. Okay. Like, I feel like everyone's had a conversation of some sort. Like, dude,

we should start a band. Yeah, dude, we should start a band. Yeah. I was percussion. Where are you? What?

Uh, just all of them. Anything. I would just bang whatever. Oh yeah. Yeah. Give, give anything's an instrument to me,

baby. Yeah. You take the music out of me, can't take i'll hit anything yeah good i'll smack it anyway you can take the music out of me but i'll still hit anything in your dorm room that was our phrase there you go yeah um but anyway my thought was instead of saying we should we should be in a band, the new thing is either we should have a secondary Instagram account. We should have a Finsta as a friend group. Yeah, kind of. Or we should start a podcast. Yes.

I think those are the two like new age. We should start a band. Yeah. Which the podcast thing, we definitely, we are part of this. We added to the noise. We hopped on right when everyone else is hopping on. The Instagram thing, I feel like I was doing that before other people were like when i would go on a road trip i would make an instagram for that road trip that was like 2015 so that was cool george go north west texas

walmart i can't remember the other ones but um those are the good ones though those are good ones but yeah let's start a podcast is gonna be such a white guy thing and like you you do like five episodes and you're like eh maybe we don't need to do this anymore yeah i don't know if we should do this one of the guys i think he still listens to the podcast but i was thinking about selling him our old mics so i hit him up and uh he was like yeah man i'm interested gets back to like two days later he's like well i just asked my co-host if he wanted to buy the mics and he said i don't think we should do a podcast anymore yes Yes, exactly. Exactly. I felt so bad for him. It would just stink to go into something together. I don't care how big or small it is. And like one person just lose interest. Yeah, that would stink. Like that's

not going to happen to us ever. I promise. Brad, things are getting busier for me though. And it's just like, it's, it's hard to do so many things at once. Um, Kevin, well, it's for Kevin James. He wants to start a podcast with me. Kevin James is just like it's hard to do so many things at once. Kevin, well, it's for Kevin James. He wants to start a podcast with me. Kevin James is just like an older version of me. You buy low, sell high with me right now, okay? I am the 2020 Kevin James, okay? Buy low, sell high.

Have you seen my wife? She looks just like Leah Remney, you know? I mean, we are king of queens in real life. Have you seen, didn't she make- Blue collar worker? Yeah. You were- Hot Mom with an Attitude Yes She's not a mom in that show I guess

Didn't she come out she had some big like documentary or something because she used to be in the Scientology church Yeah she got really into Expose Expose Good for her That's why she's the queen of Queens.

That's why check out her podcast. It's rimming men. It's Leah. I don't know. Nice. Yeah, that's good. Yeah. Thanks.

Cool. We should start a band. Well, don't break up with me, please. I'm already in a band. I forgot to tell people this because I was a musician. That was my goal. Make music. Maybe people just assume like, hey, that guy's sleeping in the park with a mustache. He I was a musician. That was my goal. Make music? Well, maybe people just assume like,

hey, that guy's sleeping in the park with a mustache. He's probably a musician. He's got a guitar in his car somewhere. If not like behind him, behind this hill or something. That's what you should do. Just bring your guitar with you and just lay there. Just kind of pick at like one string the whole time. Maybe only have one string on it.

That would be funny. Yeah, that's the guy who can't quite afford a dog. You guys like music? one like string the whole time. Maybe only have one string on it. That would be funny. Yeah. That's the, that's the guy who can't quite afford a dog. You guys like music. That's awesome. That's awesome. I was in a fender bend the other day.

Oh gosh. Were you okay? Yeah. Yeah. I just barely bumped my guitar. That's a good one. Okay. Voice over time.

All right. That one down for a joke. Hey, Jake and Brad. This is Andrew, SBU and Canicook alum, Lick'em Cats. Lick'em. Coming at you all the way from Santiago, Chile. In the last episode, you guys talked a little bit about Argentina,

and I wanted to make a couple comments on that. Brad, yes, that accent with the sh sound is very popular in Argentina. That is how they talk. Thank you. And that is where my first question comes from, which is if you could speak any other language, what would it be? Or alternatively, you can choose to stick with English,

but what other accent would you have? Also, Jake, yes, Patagonia is in Argentina, but it is also part of southern Chile as well. Another fun note about Chile is that one of the most popular street foods here is called a completo, which is a hot dog with guacamole, mayonnaise, and tomato, which goes to my second question, which is

what would be your ideal hot dog toppings? Not those. Hot guac. Hot guac with some mayonnaise and tomatoes get out of here andrew man man mayonnaise in any other country besides sorry go ahead thanks andrew thanks for listening podcast and voicemail mayonnaise well you're about to make a mayonnaise joke i felt oh that's okay uh mayonnaise in any other country besides America. I'm biased towards American mayonnaise.

Oh, we think we got a good here. I'm not going to eat. Yeah. Eat mayonnaise in Mexico. It's just, they don't feel like they got that down. Like I feel like they got a lot of things better than us. Food wise mayonnaise. It feels like America's got the corner. Huh? I'll eat in Canada. It's just a little bit worse version of mayonnaise. Probably there's a reason a colder climate seems like they would make mayonnaise better to me yeah yeah like it's like raw nastiness in chile i don't know yeah i don't know if i went like oh you gotta have this mayonnaise it was like imported straight from ecuador why whoa what did they do there yeah how come man man it's from mexico man with that man i say nay what that man, I say nay. With that man, I say nay.

No more mayonnaise. You email him back. I don't know if you need any jokes for Spanish teens, but I have at least one that I feel good about. For the Latinas, Chile, I learned, was the fruiteria of the mundo, aka the fruit capital of the world. Oh. Of the moon, yeah. Close. area of the moon doe aka the fruit capital of the world Oh of the moon Yeah close for the for the moon for the loon. Holy cow That's a that's a brand we pitched Elon Musk right now. Hey, we're here dehydrated cherries. We're gonna call them through the moon What do you think?

Send them up with you. Okay, so what do we want on our hot dogs? Oh, hot dog. Hot dog with some gin and tonic. That's it? That's what I want. Oh, give me with just spicy ranch, relish, and a whole tomato. Hot dog.

Don't even slice it. Just put it on wherever. I'm imagining a pickle. Six onions. I don't know. I can't even have hot dogs. So how dare you, Andrew? Turkey dog?

Have you ever tried one? I think I did. I think I had a turkey brat, actually. Oh, we had those. No, that's what we had at, or no, it was chicken brats at the Chiefs game that one time. Oh, yeah. Chicken brats were nice. Yeah, they were those. No, that's what we had at, or no, it was chicken brats at the Chiefs game that one time. Oh, yeah. Chicken brats were nice. Yeah, they're fine.

Yeah. So my answer will come from a chicken brat point of view. C-B-P-O-V. Is that okay? Is that okay with you guys? Is that cool? Okay. On my chicken brat, there is going to be, we're going to get nasty wild.

Is that what you're going to say? Wild? I was just going gonna get like whoa whoa just doing reverb i don't know just just make a noise uh i think we're gonna brown sugar you dog i told you we're gonna get nasty this is this is good brown sugar a little honey yeah drizzle that thing that thing. And then we're going to put that in the oven on low for a little bit. And it's going to get to know each other. Get to know itself.

Yeah. Explore around a little bit. And then when it comes out, then we're throwing some powdered sugar. Get out of here. Get out of here with that. And it's going to be like a dessert chicken meal. Oh, my gosh. Sonic is going to pick that up and run with it.

I don't know if that would be good. That'd be terrible. Brown sugar though can really turn a meal around. Hot dogs do not go well with sweet things. No way. I think you're probably right, but I would like for someone to make that and mail it to me, please. Here's something.

Have you ever heard of putting shredded cheese on a hot dog i've heard of pudding and i have not heard of putting shredded cheese on a hot dog yeah apparently it's like a big thing in texas oh it's like normal it's like hey do you guys have shredded cheese it's like why yeah we do for our tacos that it's a set why what why you want it who's asking stephanie um what would be on your dream dog i think i would go with a barbecue style dog of some sort just barbecue sauce give me some smoked brisket in there basically just make it to where you can't even taste the hot dog anymore get other versions of a pig that tastes better yeah i want brisket pulled pork and bacon on my hot dog that sounds awesome it sounds awesome and just like have the smallest little hot dog in there. A teeny weenie. Yeah. Yeah. A meanie weenie. Oh, and he also asked what language we would speak.

Oh, that's right. I would choose English, but a New Zealand accent. That's so funny. I was just thinking no way would I ever choose English because you could learn any other, like, it sounds like it's just like a given that you just know another language. That's true. I would choose Chinese. Oh, cause, cause I kind of get intimidated by Chinese people, but I think a lot of it is just tone that they have when they speak. But if I can understand, it might be like, Oh, you're not mad at me. You're just talking about what kind of shirt you like. This elevator just has a weird smell to it. Yeah, sure. Yeah yeah that's probably it okay yeah uh chinese is good i mean it definitely um alienates or whatever the reverse anti-alienates a large population of

people unites unites because now you can talk to so many people if i stick to english i'm kind of the same but you'd be like hello i don't know how new zealanders talk very well but they do have a good accent i'll give you that. It's hot. Yeah. It is nice. Yeah. Thank you for the questions.

Next up is Alyssa. Hi, Jake and Brad. My name is Alyssa from Wichita, Kansas. I recently had a dream that I met both of you on a party bus, so I figured that I should leave you a voice memo and tell you about it. Those are the rules. I don't know much about party buses. I've never been on one before, but it seemed like the most chill party bus that has ever existed. Thanks. I am currently applying

for jobs in Kansas City and hoping to move up there this summer. So my question for you is, other than pickleball and Chick-fil-A, what are some of your favorite places or things in Kansas City that I should check out once I get up there. That's it. And maybe we should rent a party bus and you guys can show me around. Oh. Thanks for your podcast. I love listening to it every week and look forward to every Monday that I get to listen to a new episode. Have a great week.

Bye. Real talk, if we did a party bus that went to Chick-fil-A and then played pickleball, it'd be the most fun night of our lives. Alyssa could be on to something. sweet yeah chicken and pickle but not actually be the business our own chicken and pickle how much is a party bus I know friends who've done it for like just in Kansas City for like birthdays and stuff well that's the thing I've never been on a party bus either besides like maybe like uh transferring us from like our wedding to like a rehearsal or a reception like i've been on plenty

of those when i'm like in the wedding party but like that's for like 20 minutes you know what i mean yeah i have no idea there can't be that much yeah they can't there's no way they just can't there's no way they just can't be that much that here's the deal that just can't be that much uh love you had a dream about us love that that's happening we've had multiple people say something like that haven't we yes on. On the Instagram and everything? Yeah. Instagram.com? Sorry that our party bus in your dream was so chill.

But then again- The way she said that, maybe it was like the most chill. Maybe chill was just like awesome. So chill. It was like, oh, hey, that's chill. Leon Bridges was playing. She's a cool meat. Baby, baby, baby.

I'm holding on to your tender, sweet loving. You're my one and only woman. So chill. Yeah, so chill. So chill. So chill. That was probably going on. Hot dogs and mayonnaise.

Let's table. Let's think more about our own chicken and pickle idea. That's fun. That's an awesome idea. We get a rowdy crew of people to just, yeah, go Chick-fil-A and pickleball sometime. That can even be like a regular thing. Like Saturday night's chicken and pickle night chicken and pickle yeah oh sweet okay that sounds awesome let's talk more about that obviously not just those things it's like no why not that sounds like a great party um other things you need to do in kansas city go to

That's a thing you can do. Yeah. And I don't want to say what happens at midnight, but make sure you're on the dance floor at midnight.

Nailed it You know Brad and Jake I hope you all had fun trying to pronounce my name I did So you would be pronouncing it Marijke in German But when I Speak with English speaking natives

I usually just go With Eike So I'm Eike I'm from Tübingen, Germany. I just recently discovered y'all's podcast, but I've been really enjoying it on my daily walks across the fields.

Across the fields. So the question I wanted to ask y'all is what is a belief that y'all had when you were children that was just super logical but just isn't true at all so as an example um i used to believe that the music being played on the radio was actually bands playing live in the radio station so hope y'all are doing well bye bye

ikey from germany in the fields just listening in the fields that's maybe one of the more beautiful So hope y'all are doing well. Bye-bye. Aiki from Germany. In the fields. Just listening in the fields. That's one of the more beautiful things I've ever heard. I know that it's not Germany. It's Austria. But I just get so many Sound of Music vibes with Aiki. But instead of like, the hills are alive.

It's like, oh, oh, oh, ooh, I think they like it. You know what I mean? I don't know. That's so funny. She's listening to us and mean? I don't know. That's so funny. She's listening to us and she's walking through German fields. That's awesome. What does that mean? I don't know.

It sounds so German though. It's like, oh, of course. I key the, the joke for the teens was not intended for German teens for the record. Okay. I'm so sorry about the joke about, uh, Yahtzee is a really fun game. Everyone's got some black eyes and bruises um ikey thank you for the voice memo i it's crazy you even discovered this your english is great by the way amazing ain't it great she said she used y'all's she said what is y'all's like favorite

thing wow that's like did she learn that in school to say y'all's probably learned it from the ghost hunter school holy cow cow. We're so educational. Gosh, that's why they call us influencers right there. Influencing you to talk in more slang. Great question, though. And I think I maybe thought that, too, when I was little. Like, how does the radio work? Like, how does he are you playing this?

I know SNL did multiple skits about that. Like Pandora went down. So Bruno Mars had to, like, be all these different voices. That's a fun skit. Yeah, I think they did it with Ariana Grande too perhaps. Ariana Grande. But something that I believe... Your Ariana Grande or our Ariana Grande? Your Ariana, your choice. Our Ariana, okay. Yes.

If we're both listening to her, our Ariana. Oh, the thing that I thought as a kid, really thought quicksand was going to be a big issue in adulthood. Holy cow. They were shoving quicksand propaganda down our throats.

Oh, right. So many like little cartoons and clip arts and images of like a guy's hand and oh, got another hand at the last second. Thank goodness. The real life version of Jungle Book had quicksand in it. Remember that movie? The 90s infatuation with quicksand. Yeah.

And like the more you struggle through it, the faster sink just let it take you let weather the storm that is such a good point i forgot about quicksand quicksand was a huge like maybe it's still going on our kids now still maybe dude oh it's all politics you know with the quicksand big big quicksand is quicksand real i don't know seriously like it has to be they can't just make that up oh my gosh i don't know dude joe biden i i will beat quicksand i will take it down i mean joe i mean i said quicksand again dang it i'm always saying quicksand oh man like that really makes me think maybe i've never heard anybody talk about quicksand ever again but it was such a thing you're right like so many movies so many bad guys like oh they got the quicksand They're done. Yeah, and it was always in like jungle like yeah ecosystems. I've never been to a jungle so

Maybe who knows mm-hmm It would explain why Tarzan was so big on swinging from vine to vine right no no not taking any chances with the quicksand No way quicksand chance but also yeah i remember being afraid to go in a desert i'm like any of this could be quicksand yes there's no point in going to a desert like why would you don't go to the beach either no go to the lake get on the front yeah go to the lake be fine get sunburned go on go to the marina um yeah quicksand was for me. I was terrified of that.

Okay, I couldn't think of like, yeah, I don't know if I have a great answer, but one of them was that like, I still kind of believe this, that movies could change their endings. Like, you know how you like watch the same movie and like, you're always like, like the reason I think we watch a movie over and over again is because there's something in us that thinks maybe this time, maybe this time those kids can get that ball without the beast catching it first. You know, like maybe, maybe when they fling the ball over the fence, like, oh, Benny's going to catch it with one, you know, one hand. And instead the beast just gets it every time.

You know, like, I think I always believed that, but that's, I don't know. Or I believe that I was going to be a pro athlete. Like I think, I hope kids that that's a tangent of like a deeper TED talk thing but I hope kids still believe that they can be pro athletes yeah I hope that like the social media culture is not killing dreams too quickly for kids it's something changing it I saw a stat you know 20 years ago fireman astronaut athlete whatever and like youtuber is number one yeah yeah that I've heard that too. Yeah, that's interesting. I think astronaut and stuff are still up there.

But yeah, YouTuber is up on the charts. That's a good point, though. And in fact, that's something funny. That's like my dad's joke all the time. He'll read the same books over and over again. He watches the same movies. Just like once he's found something he likes, he'll just go back to it. And I was on the phone with him the other day.

I forgot what he watched. Like, I don't know, Secondhand Lions or something for the 40th time. I was like, oh, how was it? I was on the phone with him the other day I forgot what he watched like I don't know secondhand lions or something and for the 40th time he's I was like oh how was it it was good ended the same as last time so good still so good something about like I don't know how your brain does that like but just maybe because it feels real to you because you're watching I don't know and it's like maybe it's gonna be different this time perhaps but it's never never is not in my experience no not unless it's a bandersnatch or whatever that movie oh that was awesome i never watched it really no you and katherine should okay maybe yeah i don't know maybe but you don't know if it's gonna be good or not i can also see the exact same movie i can also see you guys

getting kind of frustrated maybe i don't know it's uh i don't know it's interesting katherine's a wild card with that kind of stuff she, you're gonna be like this is so dumb I'm just gonna be like oh yeah Actually, yeah, that'd be fun. You guys should watch it together if you don't know It's basically it's a choose your own adventure book that it's in a movie and like it works within Netflix like your remote controls the characters Yeah, yeah, I guess that explains it so you you choose what they should do next and then they play that next scene. Yeah. Like you are the main character.

So it'll say like, do you want to take this acid? Yes or no. That's like a thing in the movie. You're like, I don't know. Yeah. And you only get like what? Five seconds or. Yeah.

Very quick. And but there's no cuts. It's seamless. It's amazing technology. I don't know why more people are doing it, but Bandersnatch. There's a there was a Bear Grylls thing like that on Netflix, too. Do you ever see that? No.

It was like more of a kid's thing. But yeah, it was like, should Bear Grylls thing like that on Netflix, too. Did you ever see that? No. It was like more of a kid's thing. But yeah, it was like, should Bear Grylls eat the lizard to stay alive? Yes. Or should he, you know, whatever. Yeah. Drink his own pee. Yeah, kind of. Stuff like that.

I wonder how his stream is. Goodyear Reith? I mean, his name's Bear. Which is kind of like Bo. Two names of the guys in Need to Breathe, Bear and Bo. That's true. Yeah. So.

What's their last name? I don't know. Next voice memo. Hey, Jake. Hey, Brad. Need to Breathe? It's true. Yeah. What's your last name? I don't know. Next voice memo. Hey, Jake. Hey, Brad. Need to breathe? It's Claire from Utah. I just graduated from high school today, which was pretty fun.

Congrats. It was nice because it was super short for me, at least. My principal, on the other hand, had to stay at our school and listen to Pomp and Circumstance for three days, giving out diplomas. That's a lot of pomp. Which kind of sucks for him. But I appreciate the effort. I'm graduated now. My question is, I will be a freshman in college this fall, going to BYU.

Go Cougars. And I was just wondering if you guys had any advice for me. What I should major in, because I obviously have no idea. Good. What I should bring, how to make new friends, and of course, any good prank ideas would be much appreciated. I love to prank people and I just don't have any good ideas. So let me know if you had any.

Okay, thanks. Bye-bye. you had any. Okay. Thanks. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Okay. Claire. Yeah. Congrats. And thanks.

You did it. Yeah. I had a question. Pump and circumstance. Is that what it is? Yes. That's like the stuff that's in orange juice. Oh, extra pump.

Yeah. I always go. No, no pump. I, is that, that's like the song, like the. Yeah. I believe. Those, those all get so mixed up for me oh yeah the difference come the bride and the and presidential one and taps yeah um i i always thought it was pumping i'ma get it pumping yeah it kind of sounds like it's like a like a cuss like a like a phrase you say when

you're angry pumping circumstance are you freezing my peas pumping circumstance pumping circumstance i thought i had that serving and pickleball just oh pump and circumstance ah oh man get over get over you're in the left lane pumping circumstance yeah something i don't know like yeah that's just the name of the song i guess pump and what's pop i don't give me no pump no pump dirty pump um i'll look it up for you real quick okay um i think before i look circumstance i think is what ma Magellan did around the globe. I think he circumstance the globe. Okay. What does pomp and circumstance mean?

Generically, the term pomp and circumstance describes a ceremony of grandeur, a very formal celebration. Not rural. It's not. No, it doesn't seem. So, basically, it doesn't mean anything. It means a time where you celebrate. I'm going to stick to the derogatory term for it. Pumping circumstance.

I mean, with more of a search, I could probably figure out what the words mean together, but whatever. It was composed in 1904 by Edgar Edgar, though. Oh, it is? That was a Zoom style. it was composed in 1904 by edgar though oh it is that was a zoom that was a zoom style it was supposed to be so um okay uh questions from claire were basically there's a lot for college yeah advice for college um we've talked about some pranks before yeah we can dodge those uh well i'll say one my freshman year, a huge prank that I pulled was that I was obsessed with my girlfriend for the first half of freshman year. And then I broke up with her at semester, but I didn't really hang out with very many people besides her my first semester. So I just didn't really have very many friends, you know, and I had to kind of break into the dynamics that

were already kind of established from other people. That is a good prank. Oh man, they did not see it coming. Neither did she. And I felt really bad about it. But, you know, her mother-in-law bought a table from me a few years later. And I was in her living room when we realized it all. Gosh. What a prank. Oh, we got you. The prank that keeps on pranking is that. I don't know.

Let's see. I mean, we could do this. We both have very good college experiences. So I'm trying to think what some calm to noms are well She went she's going to BYU which go could I know anything about them? It's a big party school So they've been on some party buses. Yeah, bring some party hats probably yes a kazoo like some party club Fiesta where I think is what they call it. Yes. Yeah kazoo Probably your your best board game catchphrase bring catchphrase. Yeah. Kazoo. Probably your best board game. Catchphrase.

Bring catchphrase. Yeah. Better not to go Yahtzee. Lots of name tags. Tons of name tags. Like you need to have name tags if you're going to have. Name tags with a random question, like a conversation starter question on them if it helps. Maybe an Enneagram.

Like Enneagram specific name tags. Yeah. Just anything to just really spice up the party. Spice it. Pickleball paddle, of course. Spice to just really spice up the party. Spice it. Pickleball paddle. Spice it, Claire. Bring the paddle. I'm trying to think.

What does Michael say about his college professors? Oh, they were the ones at the parties. They were the coolest ones. Whatever. Yeah. Definitely befriend your professors. Get their phone number and text them a lot. More legitimate advice

You know going to it with the perspective of knowing that is a very special time in your life You only get four years. Yeah, it's the last four years of not that much responsibility. Yeah You're gonna feel like you're busy and you might feel that way and that's okay to legitimately feel that way But just know you're not that busy. Just do as much as you can. Yeah. Like you're going to feel tired. Just suck it up and just be tired a little bit more. And then you'll, you'll get that second wind and you'll have so much fun at like three

in the morning. Yeah. Don't go to bed at 10 ever. Yeah. Ever. I'm trying to think what, no matter what time you're getting up. It doesn't matter. No, never go to bed at 10.

No. Uh, there was a phrase i would always tell people in college because i was so annoying i never wanted anyone to sleep kind of like me now i i'm gonna play pickleball at all times i was probably the same way and if no one else can i'm like i don't understand why we can't play um but yeah if anyone ever wanted i think like it's pouring down rain we're like let's play it's it's the ground we need a fourth yeah i think my phrase is something along the lines of like no one ever remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep that's good i would tell people that on a weekly

basis my spanish teacher in high school used to say you can sleep when you're dead and i say that to this day i'm like you can sleep when you're dead let's let's go do something and he died of insomnia a couple years later and senora richie is now yeah uh you know with her tomb in the nelson yeah richie is a little extra sleepy nowadays. Sleeping for a long time. Oh, man. She was awesome. Like, we'd be like, how was your weekend?

And she would say like 15 things she did. Oh. What? She's like, yeah, you sleep and you're dead. Good for her. Yeah. Señora, me gusta. Oh, me gusta, Miss Ricci.

Another thing in college. Caliente dog. Pero. Si. Nice. I did it. Yeah. Ninth grade. another thing in college Caliente dog pero see nice I did it yeah ninth grade a thing that I remember seeing

while I was in college I was like oh this is true so there's three things there's a good social life good grades and a good amount of sleep you can have two of those and I really believe that

so choose the two do you I chose good grades and a good social life I didn't sleep much for four years I feel like you get to choose two out of three I took a decent amount of naps

Naps are great And maybe you're right, maybe I didn't get as much sleep as I probably should have But I feel like I slept plenty You think you hit the trinity? Which is? All three, you got them all Good, no, I'm not saying you didn't, impressive But I would sleep from like

5 to 9pm And then you wake up and you're like yeah good no i'm not saying you didn't impressive but i would sleep from like you know five to nine p.m like and then you wake up and you're like so out of it like your rhythm is so off i'm ready for a bowl of cereal let's start this day you you sleep you stay until up till four playing madden against people yeah you know whatever yeah that's good i think that's great um i think what you said about the four years thing is just so perfect because everyone says that and you kind of feel it when you're in the moment. I think you do feel it when you're in the moment, but then you look back and you're like, golly, that was so true. Like, like everyone that said that was so right.

And I kind of agreed with them and believed them, but I didn't really get it until I'm out of there. Yeah. So make the most of it. And that first semester is weird and it's hard for everyone. So just know that that is normal. Yeah. Just be kind to everybody and trust the process So just know that that is normal. Yeah. Just be kind

to everybody and trust the process. Yeah. Joel and beat it. You're going to make friends with someone that first week of college. You're like, wow, I can't believe I found one of my best friends and you're not going to be friends with them anymore. You're just not, you're not gonna be friends with them. So just think maybe I'm going to marry that friend and you're not going to, you're going to break up with them. It's a good prank. Uh, so just play the field socially, just to be, treat everyone with respect and know that that first week of college everyone's nervous to meet someone so don't feel weird everyone's nervous yeah just go go at it be proactive shake their hand hug them or just

nod at them right if they're like wearing a mask still and that's still a thing i don't know oh gosh i hope that's not a thing it's gonna be so hard to remember people if you're at college everyone's wearing masks like i don't only i only know what your eyes look like seriously i'm gonna need you to wear the same shirt every time i see you okay that's good advice bring a hat that's not a thing. It's going to be so hard to remember people. If you're at college, everyone's wearing masks. Like I don't only, I only know what your eyes look like. Seriously. I'm going to need you to wear the same shirt every time I see you. Okay. That's good advice. Bring a hat. That's very, very distinctive. Like how that's clear in the hat. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like with like one of those pinwheels on the top. Yeah. Or like a vintage pirates of the Caribbean, like Jack Sparrow hat. That'll get, that'll get the Jack Sparrow girl. That's what you should do at BYU. Okay. Hopefully that was enough to

chew on for a while hit us back after first semester see how that did for you we're going to do two more this week hey Jake and Brad this is Tiani I'm from Utah however I drove across the country last week to get to South Carolina to finally get my fiance I'm in the same boat as Trey and his

fiance still waiting on things to open up for us to get married. But on the way there, um, we passed through Kansas and I was so excited. I even took a picture of the KU sign just cause I knew I was close to y'all. I also was listening to the ghost earners podcast. Um, on the trip,

my dad was helping me drive across the country, and he was sleeping. And I was listening to you on my headphones, and I did everything I could. He's a big help. Thank you all for uplifting everybody. It's just so great. I listened to the episode about the Big John. Please come dance at my reception in August in Utah. You are cordially invited.

And question for you, Red Vines or Twizzlers? Thanks so much, y'all. Like Little John and Big John? I don't know what you're talking about. That's one of the most crazy things about the podcast is that people know and remember things that we don't even remember, that we say it ourselves.

So hard to remember. Tiani, though. Cool name, cool voice memo. Cool name. I can't even imagine, though, like your dad's there to help you out on the road trip. You look over and you're like, pomp and circumstance. He's sleeping again.

He's sleeping again. Oh, pomp and circumstance. Dad! Get up! We're in Kansas! The ghost runners are on! The Flint Hills! Oh, man.

Oh, I think I just nailed your camera. Sorry. Oh, it looks a little... Should I check it? Yeah, I might have to turn it back on me. I think it's facing your camera sorry oh it looks a little uh should i check it yeah i might have to turn it back on me i think it's facing uh my right hand a little bit that's okay just i don't think it's a tripod yeah i think it was just like the phone and the mount itself um tiani okay red vines or twizzlers i have never had a red vine. We were a Twizzler family going to Whitewater as a little boy. Huge fan of the cherry Twizzlers.

Strawberry didn't do it for me. Spielberg over here is having some trouble. Do you want me to? No, no, I got it. I'm going to double check it. Oh, you just hit it again. No, it's good. Okay, I'm going to double check.

You talk about Twizzling. There's no way. I've never had a red vine i don't think uh yeah that's what they say in uh parks and rec they're like we're a twizzlers family um yeah it's good i know what i'm doing i'm so good with technology um yeah but i don't really understand like what is a twizzle like what... Twizzler makes it sound like there's a verb before that called twizzle. Have you ever heard the word twizzle before? Not in this country. Okay, maybe whenever you learned how to speak New Zealand English. They might have brought it up then.

Yeah, what is it? To twizzle. To twizzle. I think it's like when you... Yeah, when you get married. Is that what you're doing? Intertwining of any sort. Yeah. Just a vine with a, with a branch or with a fence.

Oh, that vine starting to twizzle. We should probably get that down. Oh, he just got over the counter Vaseline for men. You think they're about to twizzle? Yeah. Uh, you guys twizzling later? Yeah. Maybe, maybe pomp and circumstance. So yeah, the answer is absolutely twizzling later yeah maybe maybe pomp and circumstance so yeah the answer is

absolutely twizzlers but it's a matter of is pull and peel irregular loved pull and peel that's what i'm saying cherry cherry see i don't remember the difference to be honest i'll tell you okay cherry was pulling peel strawberry was not pulling peel oh they only offered them in those two that's and that's freaking true okay yeah i like the pull and peel a lot they they only offered them in those two. That's the, and that's freaking true. Okay. Yeah. I liked the pull and peel a lot. They were great. So good. It was like a cheese stick. There was like pre like perforated edges for you already. It was awesome. I could eat at my own pace. I could bite from the edge, like a, like a monkey and sugar cane, or I could eat it like a human with opposable thumbs. I know monkeys do too. It wasn't a great reference. I'm going to keep talking, but I could i could you know i eat it slowly by the pool at whitewater what is whitewater that's a that was a theme

park in branson oh like the water park one yeah okay yeah whitewater okay yeah it was um yeah not a racial thing it was uh just a thing in branson that we had a season passes to for a few years. So sure. I would twizzle, twizzle with the best of them. Yeah. Thanks. Dad, the dad wasn't sleeping when the podcast began.

What are you sleeping? When it ended? Thanks. Thanks for being a strong, strong listener, dad. Thank you. Thank you.

Tony's dad. Appreciate it. All right. Last one. Hello. My name is Kelsey Gillespie and I'm from Licking, Missouri. Um, I actually went to sbu my name was kelsey friend then when i was there um jq helped me work the concession stand at a

basketball game one time um and we talked about prison break it's okay if you don't remember um you meet a lot of people and my own husband doesn't even remember meeting me for the first time so i won't take offense something funny happened to me today that i thought you guys would appreciate i had an eye doctor appointment this morning and i went to the bathroom when i got there and i got locked in and i could not get out it was like an old door that had the little tourney thing in the middle of the doorknob that you have to turn to unlock and it would not budge. I had to call the front desk to have them come get me. Nobody could get me out.

I, doctor, had to kick the door in. That's all I have time to say. That's a Kevin James move right there. I'm kicking the door in. Good ending to that story. That's a Kevin James sitcom right there. Like'm kicking the door in. Good ending to that story. That's a Kevin James sitcom right there. Like that's like, wow. Kelsey, I definitely remember you.

I will say I do not remember the concession stand experience we had, but I guess that puts me in company with your husband, which is fine. She's pretty hard to remember though, because everyone, everyone at SBU is friendly. Right. I do remember someone, I was like, okay, now what's your name? And she just started singing. You've got a friend in me. Oh, yeah. And I was like, that's okay.

Well, at their family reunions, they don't do the limbo, you know? What do they do? They do something called friends in low places. Oh, okay. That's where you put on a country song and like walk underneath a bar. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Friend. I've got friends in low places. Oh, okay. It's where you put on a country song and like walk underneath a bar. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. Friend. Cause I've got friends in low.

Here I go. Limbo is hard. It's stupid. If you're good at limbo. Guess if I'm good at limbo. No. In fact, yeah, I have a thing against, I'm a limboist, I'll say it. I have a thing against people who are good at limbo. I'm a limbist. Cause you don't just wake up being good at limboist. I'll say it. I'm thinking if people are good at limbo

I'm a limbist because you don't just wake up being good at limbo. You've like practiced it and that makes me mad You think so? I know. Yes, like good morning. I Don't know don't even talk to me until I've had my morning limbo Maybe maybe I'm just not that flexible. I just, but, but even if you are cool, look at you get down there. Come on back up. I don't know. Like, what are we going to do with you? Yeah.

I, um, what are we going to do with you? Look how low you are. Friends in low places. Yeah. Love that. I was chatting up about prison break though. That sounds very on brand back in the day. You are, you are passionate about prison break.

More than anybody I know. I guess so. I thought it was great. Love season two. It Break. Yeah. More than anybody I know. I guess so. I thought it was great. Love season two. It was good, guys. Check it out. Kelsey, sorry you got a door kicked in on you. That is awesome.

It is sweet, though. Not a lot of people get to experience that who are not criminals. So then again, I don't know. Maybe she is a criminal. Well, I'm also excited for the optometrist that got to kick in a door. Yeah.

I would love an excuse to kick in a door yeah i would love an excuse to kick in a door like i hope hattie accidentally locks herself in her room or something oh hot door like how do you get back i'm breaking the door that is the manliest sentence you can say that is sweet get back i'm breaking because it's coming down yeah on my first try if not if not you're done yeah you're that ladies first try katherine comes in and like hits it open well i loosened it i loosened it i pretty much took the jar off you just kind of twisted it last yeah whatever the edges are basically off by the time you got here kelsey uh katherine didn't remember meeting me either the first time really or she didn't yeah like i

remember at least she didn't remember my name if she did like i said hi katherine like the second time i saw her and she's like who's this guy well you guys are remembering me you guys met doing live action role play right so you had the kind of one of those medieval like masks on so i called her lord katherine yes hi lord katherine we were jousting actually the first time uh yeah yeah which can be beautiful yeah and she said i knocked her off her feet and she didn't remember anything after that yeah she's concussed yeah from the amnesia yeah anyway that's great thank you for all the voice memos as always missouri licking missouri licking oh my gosh i have a story about missourians on the way here that i forgot to tell you really until right now we want you want to talk about licking Missouri first? Uh, let's talk about, let's talk about real quick, but some things in there, the city are called the licking school bus.

Ooh, yeah. Gross. The licking bus. Not a party bus. It's a licking bus. The giving tree. Yeah. The licking bus.

The licking party rentals, licking inflatables. What? Oh, the licking party rentals licking inflatables what the licking eyes doctor who will kick down a door if need be there's a town in Arkansas called Flippin we thought that was so funny

in seventh grade oh there's the Flippin bus there's the Flippin team it's great that is perfect okay what you got to say about Missouri okay no like this is going

to sound like an exaggeration and i it probably was not as extreme as i'm going to make it sound because that's more fun but um earlier on the way here i was about to turn left it was one of those like yield to turn left so it was like a little different yeah it's kind of like hey gauge how fast people are going maybe i can make it so there was this car that was coming pretty slow and there was a car a little bit farther behind him and i was like i think i can make it. So there was this car that was coming pretty slow and there was a car a little bit farther behind him. And I was like, I think I can make it in between. So I kind of started going left, started going left and then realized I can't make it. And so I think I kind of scared this person coming up front person or back person, back person. Okay. But I decided I'm not going to go, or maybe I just bothered them kind of frustrated them. Cause I

was kind of a little bit, maybe like one 16th in their lane. I'll be honest. Like I was a little bit out there. Um, but they did something to me and I'm, it wasn't that big of a deal because I just like got, got rid of it real quick, but they literally drove past me, looked a little frustrated through their cigarette butt into my car. Oh, into my car. Oh yes. Circumstance. I got it out of there you know like a like a bottle rocket that just was thrown in there yeah i totally forgot to tell you that i'm the way here the accuracy i know who is this person i'll tell you what license plate they had on their car though okay missouri you're just gonna say the letters publicly oh Oh, yeah. WBQ. Yeah. Anyway. That's nuts.

It probably took, like, I don't think I even, I looked on my shirt to see if I got anything on there. I don't think I got any. It took probably one second. I was pretty quick to get it off, like a horse fly or something. I just can't even process. How does that even happen? They're in a moving car, roll down their window and throw it at you. They're close enough to like zip it in there.

They were probably going 37 miles an hour. I'd say. say and yeah just flicked it in there gosh i couldn't believe it them on next and i couldn't believe like what if that would have hit me in the eye in the iris or in something that's flammable yeah you're always wearing those lighter fluid pants right what if i had my yeah non-retardant pants on which by the way that word that's what we're that's what we're using nowadays if something can't catch fire okay well don't make me feel bad when i say it no no no not you just that's just like a that's always just biologists yeah i've never went to paleontology school but why are we calling it this yeah yeah i think that's so funny oh don't worry it's flame retardant Oh, don't worry. It's flame retardant. Hey, hey, don't call the blanket that. It's a blanket.

Oh, man. Anyway. It's so funny. Freaking, freaking, that girl, lady, whatever, did not enjoy her. Yeah, that really is crazy. Maybe it was on accident. I'm a little caught up on the athleticism it takes to accurately throw a cigarette. Maybe if you're a smoker, gosh, if you're a big enough smoker.

If you're a chain smoker. You get it in there. Closer, roses. Uh-huh. Those are hits. Top 40. Yeah. Gosh, I'm glad you're okay.

Thank you. Another day, you survived. You got to kick doors down for Hattie. We need you. Oh my gosh. We need you. I can't wait. The lake needs you.

The lake is calling and I must go. Anyway. Okay, let's wrap this up uh real quick review of the week time as always thank you all the week so much for the reviews we got uh seven this week we're close to 600 guys who's gonna be who's gonna be who's gonna be which one of your uh which one of the fans gonna tell their mom to leave a review we actually got nine reviews but then two of them weren't deleted and they were i can still see them they were great reviews i'm not sure why you deleted them but uh they were worried about their voice sounding funny that makes sense everyone's got different

thumbs i've always said that the one that it's my favorite uh the title of it says congrats to jake on the arrival of his best friend's baby bow thank you finally when am i gonna get congratulated for my friend having a friend who has a baby now Now, it does seem a little lopsided. It's time to congratulate Brad on having a friend like me, who was a friend to him when he had his kid. The gist of this is just very encouraging, very nice. Basically, she says how when she first started listening to the podcast and she was the only one in her friend group who would listen to it and no one else would. She couldn't get him to listen to it.

And then she said, persistence. Slowly, more and more of the people around me began listening. And now we have weekly discussions before our Bible study about each week's episode. That's crazy. That's why it's the review of the week. Like we are a topic of conversation. What? That's weird. I mean, it's awesome, but it's weird. It's just, yeah, it's just like unfathomable for us. That's what makes it feel like we actually have a show. That's wild. That's crazy cool that's awesome there's been a i think her rose there's another fan of ours that rose like her and her sister i don't know if that's the right grammar but she and her sister they call each other every monday afternoon i think like on their way home

from work or something like that like to like talk about the podcast and their thoughts and stuff that's awesome it's crazy that's so cool, like you, are you about to call right now? Call. Anyway, it's just, it's just wild. Call her Rose. Call her. Rose is, oh, chain smokers again. Top 40.

Rose quit. If you're doing it, quit. Okay. Use a patch, use gum. I don't care. Just don't flick it in Brad's truck. Yeah. So thank you.

My review of the week from Katie underscore scan. Katie scan. Katie scan. Oh, it's a cat scan. Yeah. Sure. Cat skills. Great. Yeah. Thank you. My review of the week from Katie underscore scan. Katie scan. Katie scan. Oh, it's a cat scan. Yeah. Sure. Skills. Great.

Yeah. Thank you. It's great. Mine's positively outstanding from 11 Maddox says, I honestly have no clue how I came across Jake and Brad, but somehow I started one of their podcasts and the rest is history. I've never looked back since. I'm 100% sure that Jake and Brad are the most, some of the most genuine people out there. And they always bring a smile to my face.

I love feeling like I'm coming to a family of ghostbusters. Oh my gosh. What? Joe. If you ever see a capital G H probably ghostwriters. I was thinking it was going to say my family, a family of reunion. And I just kept looking for the word reunion and I did not see it.

I love feeling like I'm coming to a family of ghosts. Oh my gosh. I will say it again of ghost runners, lovers. Whenever I listen with reviews of the week of voice memos, I think that was wrong. This is my number one podcast recommendation for anyone who wants a brighter day.

Thank you so much, Jake and Brad. Anyway, I just love that. I love when people feel like we're genuine because as far as I know, I think we are. I think my wife listens to this and she's like, yeah, that's Jake and Brad being normal Jake and Brad. It's not like we're – obviously, we're being goofy, but we're goofy people sometimes. Yeah, I think that's what's so gratifying. People like us for who we are. Yeah, it's not like we're, obviously we're being goofy, but we're goofy people sometimes. I think it's what's so gratifying. People like us for who we are. Yeah, it's cool.

What a thing to be proud of rather than the alternative. We are who we are. That's not how it goes, I don't think. No, that sounds good. Okay. Kesha, top 40. Yeah, I know. I'm big into it.

Give me a top 40 song for the jingle this week. Ooh. Just instrumental top 40. Okay. Whatever it is. Like, because you think you'll know like the melody to it 100 100 if it's the top 10 of the top 40 i definitely will know yeah yeah no this is a big one this is a big one hopefully um if the next part of this on youtube is um muted it's because this song's super copyrighted sometimes the bigger songs are

kind of like that so it'll still but you'll still hear brad or actually no i i don't know whatever maybe i'll just talk loud enough into it that it won't be able to tell i don't know okay you ready here it comes oh yes i love this song i love this song dude i play this song with hattie all the time just make some noise while the intro's gone. Yes, yes, yes. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Monday morning, you're listening to The Ghost Runners with Jake and Brad. Yeah, Jake and Brad right here on podcast and YouTube and Spotify.

That was awesome. Thank you. Volume was great. There's no way they're copyrighting that beat. Maybe they're going to patent it because that was really good. Maybe. That happens a lot. Maybe.

When you use copyrighted music. Patent TM. Yeah. Okay. Well, guys, thank you for listening. We should have a very exciting announcement on next week's episode of the podcast. So I'm not going to say stay tuned for that because that's been that's kind of an apples

and oranges thing to me. It's always been like bothering me. If you're like, so stay tuned. It's like no one's like, oh, when's it ready? Go. When's it coming? Yeah. That's like the that's like the podcast equivalent of ready.

Go. I'm staying tuned. I listen every week. It doesn't matter. But yeah, we should have something exciting to announce next week, hopefully. And I think if there's one thing left to say, it's pomp and circumstance.

I'm going to, I'm going to beat Jake triplet. That's right. Wait. Oh gosh. I went to say Joe Biden. I don't know. All right.

See you guys. Love you guys.
