kind of our niche um yeah actually it would be funny to like give a theme to like our reviews for a week like hey this week and this week only like leave a five-star review but give us like a fake brand okay like i love the ghost runners podcast like i had no idea i've never learned so much about tooth enamel until this week wow i could not believe that they knew so much about lysol and cleaning supplies it was amazing i mean they will open your eyes and your kitchen to what's out there if you've ever thought about building your own playground in your backyard check this podcast yeah um navigation systems who knew garmin google apple which one ghost runners they have the data yeah tom tom any tom tommers out there great reference uh garmin homes hometown headquarters in uh olathe kansas yeah uh strata One of the guys who I know at one point, I think he listens to the podcast. I ran into Chandler.

I met him at a Chick-fil-A one time. It's awesome. There you go. He's a great guy. Good job. He navigated there just fine. Right. Because he had a Garmin.

Probably doing all right. So leave us a five star review on your navigation needs. Woo. How are we doing, Jakey? Jakey is doing goody. Jakey no likey. Jakey almost drank pop this weekend because there's that place in oklahoma city called pops it's really cool it's like a big deal i don't know why i said

that i've never been there but it seems really cool i wanted i wanted to act like i've like been there you could say that about things though like taj mahal oh that place is sick that place is awesome oh yeah uh stonehenge so cool dude oh in the in the how they get those rocks up there it is kind of mysterious it is stonehenge and uh the easter island people yeah they're only there on easter and people are only people have compared pops to that so many times yeah they're all like stonehenge taj mahal easter island pops pops outside of oklahoma city um anyway there was talk of we were gonna go there i'm like i'm gonna do it i guess yeah there's a little pop talk going around and uh didn't end up going

so i'm fine still still uh a non-soda boy going on two months probably but uh anyway yeah jakey is good what would have been like your most exciting or like favorite drinks that you've maybe discovered have you discovered any since then so chipotle you probably noticed has rolled out these new juices yeah Yeah. So I went through about a two week test period of like, we have three juices that are good. There's one that's got apple cider vinegar. No, thanks. I like apple cider vinegar. A little bit, a little bit, a little bit. Catherine's like loving the ACV life. And so she like puts it in her water and stuff. And she's like, Oh, I forgot to tell you that has apple cider vinegar. And then I'll drink it. And I'll be like, I like

it. No problem, mama. Actually apple cider vinegar with LaCroix two wrongs make a right there. Let me tell you. Okay. Try it out. I'd be surprised if I tried it out, but the other three that do not involve the ACV are all pretty good. They mesh pretty well together, but you got to figure out the right like combination of these things. So for two weeks i tested different ratios for you and now it's so simple so it makes it seem like it took you two weeks to find this but i tried a lot in the best one like you drink them by themselves no it's just a third of each that's so simple but i trust me i tried other things it's just if anything lean a little more orange okay they've got like a red lemonade a normal lemonade and like a mandarin.

Okay. Oh, once you put them all together, is it brown? Like back in the day when you did like all the drinks together? It's like a like a deep cherry red. Oh, nice. So bordering brown. Okay. Bordering brown.

Yeah. But so that's a new drink. Nice. Today at Sonic, I got Powerade with cherry limeade. Okay. Not bad. Okay. So i'm always testing stuff out pretty unpicky with my drinks my drinks i mean there was a time when i was an alcoholic for probably 16 17 years and i mean there was nothing i would not drink um from the age of eight to the

age of about 24 it was 24 was rough but then um started going to church so um i'm here now yeah so that's pretty much my testimony. Actually, there's a few things that I don't know if I hit on. Like I was drinking so much. And like. Like people called me the life of the party. Yes. The life of the party.

People would cheer when I walked in. Well, they would say like the life of the Bacardi. Because I just, I always had alcohol with me. Bacardi don't stop when I walked in. Yeah. Even before that song came out, I was saying it, which is cool. And that was the thing. I was meeting these like celebrities all the time. Like I walked in. Yeah. Even before that song came out, I was saying it, which is cool. And that was the thing. I was meeting these like celebrities all the time.

Like I had a heavy influence. That's right. You met Pitbull right at Springfield high school. One time at Springfield high school. Yeah. That's how they, before they split them up. Yeah.

Anyway, Springfield middle. Well, yeah. I went to church and, uh, never been the same. Yeah. So thanks guys.

Thanks for listening. Uh, but yeah, I had a, Jakey is good. I was in Oklahoma all weekend, uh, which is nice. Yeah. So thanks, guys. Thanks for listening. But yeah, Jakey is good. I was in Oklahoma all weekend, which is nice. I went. Oh, I was going to ask you. So I put this video on the Patreon.

Patreon.com backslash Ghostrunners. If you want some bonus content. I did a little vlog of my weekend. Which quick shout out just to our patrons. Like, thank you. I know we plug it all the time on here. Somewhat as a joke. But like just a public shout out to the people who support us on there.

It's really cool. It is. It's been overwhelming to see how many people are like on there and supporting us and continue to support us. That are on their feet for us. Literally, they're just standing up. Hey, are you sitting down?

No way, baby! $15 a month! Never will I ever! Not sitting for that! It's good news. Yeah. So in the vlog, you probably saw that I had the patrons

try and guess why my cuticles and my elbows are bleeding oh yeah can i guess real quick yeah do you have any guesses uh my guess was that you went um that you you did something in nature maybe like in on a trail like you did mountain biking mountain biking mountain biting you bided the mountain yeah you take a mountain goat with you and you see how long it takes him to bite you wait wait wait have we ever

talked about that video of you fainting forward I think we brought up on the podcast oh my gosh if that is the reason why I'll pay all our patrons $15 each if I painted that's my

favorite video of you oh my gosh if we can find that put it on patreon I would I would like that's a great place to put some bonus content I've still got if we can find that put it on patreon i would i would like that that's a great place to put some bonus content i've still got on my phone i'll put it up there okay um anyway you were actually pretty close really i was on water okay and being pulled by a boat on an inner tube and you got bloody i've never been or i haven't been tubing in probably

four or five years dude yes talk me and just you get older and just like things start to wear down faster yeah three rides in i'm like anyone else's forearms kind of shot already and then like another ride and i'm like okay so my cuticles are bleeding is anyone else's cute i'm like who is this old guy and then after another one someone's like jake your elbow has blood running all down i'm like what's wrong with me what's going on i'm not falling off i'm hanging on just like the rest of you guys i'm just bleeding everywhere oh my. And once your cuticles become exposed and bloody, you'd be surprised how many times they come in contact with everything you grab. Yeah, that hurts.

It does. The cuticles like are such a small thing, but they're so sensitive when they're sore. It's like having like a sore toe. You're like, wow, I really use my toe every time I walk, I guess. So this is going to be sore for a while. Oh, that's miserable. So yeah, I got some bloody cuticles just from tubing. Although it was fun. I crossed two things off.

I don't want to say a bucket list, but like this, like in my head previously before I've thought about things that I've wanted to do in my life, crossed them off within 20 minutes. One of them was swimming in an infinity pool. I don't think I've ever done that. How was it? Nice. Oh yeah. And then right after that, then they're like, we're thinking about going tubing.

I'm like, that's so sweet. And then I'm having a side conversation. I'm like, oh, one thing I've always wanted to do, but never been able to, I never had access to is like put two tubes behind a tube or behind a boat at once. Like that sounds so fun. Like the possibilities, you have little tube fights. Maybe you switch from tube to tube. Oh yeah.

And then intertubular. Bailey goes, do you want better? We have three tubes. So eight of us try to bend the trifecta, the triple crown, what eight people between three tubes. I'm proud to say, Brad,

I went coast to coast one time. Oh, you never been done before. Far left, all the way to far right. Cup to cup. Yeah. That's maybe why I'm a little bloody,

but I mean, I don't, I don't think so, but it was a rush just hopping on people are they well that's pretty impressive they don't like jump well they don't start off close but when once you go outside the wake they get you kind of centrifugal force oh yeah i felt the g's on that one but it's still tough because you're going you know 25 miles an hour and then the boat is turning so yeah coast to coast it's a great weekend okay let me tell you i wasn't going to tell this story because it's kind of embarrassing to me but it just seamlessly goes so well with this one so last week i went to los angeles and new york while katherine was gone this week coast to coast yeah no it wasn't about coast to coast it's about tubing last week um we had a seadoo we did not have a boat seadoo is not nearly as strong it It was a 1995 Sea-Doo.

I don't even know what it's called. Sea-Doo Bombardier or something like that. Sounds like a brand name for a Sea-Doo. Yeah. And we had a tube and people were tubing. Behind a Sea-Doo? Yeah. I didn't know you could do that.

Yeah. I mean, it's pretty powerful, but not nearly as powerful as a boat. And so they're like, Brad, do you want to go? And I was like, sure, I'll go. Whatever. Oh, I just thought of. Oh, your aunt sent me a video of this yes i just now remembered it she's like oh i tried to get that on video and send it jake they'll be perfect for the picture oh i forgot she sent me that okay so and so uh i was like oh yeah i'll just like they had one of those lily pad like uh mat kind of things in the water you know i'm talking about oh yeah they're

like tough to stand on cause they sink, but you can lay on them. Thank you for saying that part of it, because yeah, some of them are pretty thick. This one was kind of thin. So it, it sunk pretty quick once old, old big daddy got on it. And so I tried to get on that and jump on the tube from there. And as I was like getting close to the end of the mat to jump on the tube, it was sinking pretty hard. And so I didn't get quite up all the way on the tube, but you know how like right when you go on a tube, it was sinking pretty hard. And so I didn't get quite up all the way on the tube, but you know how, like right when you go on a tube, like right when the boat takes you, you kind of like get pushed forward. Like you almost like get like submerged down. I think maybe if it's on a sea doing your weights forward, then sure.

I did not experience that. Okay. Okay. Well, every time I've tubed, even on a boat, that's a little bit. And so I was like, just, so I was like kind of halfway on halfway off. And I was like, just go, just go. And I'll like, yeah, use that momentum to pull myself up. Could not do it. So the whole time I was like halfway on this tube, halfway off in my, and I wore, I made the mistake of wearing Chacos. I don't know what I was thinking. Well, in case you get, I don't know, like abandoned and have to survive. Right. Yeah. In case I'm survivor man from the office or something. So, and so in case you get i don't know like abandoned and have to survive right come in handy yeah in case i'm survivor man from the office or something so um but yeah i'm halfway on halfway off my shoes are about to fall off and so i'm like i i didn't know what to do and so i just held on halfway and

just went around a few times i was i was only on there for like five minutes and i was like let's let's go back but days afterwards i was so Yeah. I think after 30 years old, you should never tube. I think we're getting there. So I mean, it's just hanging on for dear life with only your forearms. Yeah. Which is, I don't know, troublesome. So I think you left out a part of the story based on what your aunt told me. Oh, tell me, baby.

Well, she sent me a video. I will say I couldn't see it in the video. She said, here's a video of Brad's pants falling off while he's tubing. No, no, that did not happen. Wow. work for tmz and cindy yeah i mean that's a great clickbait video my shoes maybe she thought my shorts were called chacos or something so i was like yeah my chaco is about to fall off i don't think they were falling i was zooming in and i saw no cheeks you really were like dang it what a letdown i paid five bucks for this she she paid or she knows how to bait you yeah she's like, got a video of Brad five bucks to see it. Yeah. I kind of started a little only fans for you, but how's your week? Catherine's been gone.

Kids have been gone. You've been going crazy. Yeah. The week's been fine. Nothing too crazy. Just, uh, been watching some, some films, some TV shows, doing some work. Pretty lonely because you and Isaac are my two best friends and you were gone. We were gone. This weekend. So, yeah, played a lot of pickleball. Nice. More pickleball than normal, at least.

Yeah. But yeah, I'm saving some of my things that I'm going to tell you about for the catchphrase. Oh, we do have catchphrase. Isaac and I were playing our first pickleball tournament Saturday. Branson, Missouri. Here we come. You guys are going. Isaac and I are playing our first pickleball tournament Saturday. Branson, Missouri. Here we come. You guys are going to dominate. I'm excited.

Maybe we'll see. They don't have brains. Yeah, it'll be fine. I'm trying to get my dad and uncle to play. Oh, yeah, because I was playing the driveway. Oh, heck yeah.

Yeah. So we'll see. It would be fun to see him down there. But oh, man, a part of me wants to say if Uncle John can't play, I'd play with Steve. I would, dude.

I don't know i have to talk to the wife dang the sign up ends in seven minutes i'm not even kidding oh today is the last day you could sign up branson dude we can call him tomorrow they'd be like they'd have some tender hearts okay you're right you go ahead wait i didn't think about that that would be so fun for you and my dad and i love playing together it's so He thinks I'm awesome. He's just like every time I hit one bag, he's like, oh, yes. Like Steve, my guy. Speaking of athleticas, how are we not talking about this? The Washington Redskins have changed their name to the Washington football team.

Don't do that. They built it up way too much, too. If you're going to announce football team, don't have press releases every day saying we've like, we are still in the brainstorming process. We're calling in everyone to try and figure out what this name is going to be. Washington football team. Everyone had these theories.

There's going to be red wolves. There's going to be red Hawks. Yeah. Red Hawks. Something cool fit with the color scheme. And then they announced last week football team. And it's like, it's temporary.

So, okay. But why not just take a few more days? and it's like it's temporary so okay but why not just take a few more days if it's like i don't know if we can do this we're having a hard time deciding okay then take a few more days and figure it out like how long does it take i understand it's a big deal to like change your brand but you got to make a decision just and just commit yeah and if you're not done yet like no like did roger goodell be like hey your paper's due thursday i want to see your name at the top of that paper like oh it's wednesday night i don't know i don't think the paper was due yet just take a little more time no and now no one else can be called the football team which is a bummer because chiefs are on the brink maybe the cleveland indians

baseball team there's gonna look like copiers now right yeah the baseball club they'll probably be called oh yeah football team couldn't believe that just what a lack of creativity football team football um yeah i don't know i don't know about anything these days i mean we're even gonna have football i don't know the do you see the marlins this morning maybe marlins baseball like i heard they had a bunch eight players two coaches two coaches. So it's like, Oh, the MLB might get shut down again. Probably by the time we're listening to this,

baseball's already over. It's a hoax. Just kidding. Baseball's a hoax. Baseball. Just, yeah. Did you hear about the new thing in baseball?

When, if it goes into extra innings, I think they get a guy at second automatically. No way. Yeah. It's kind of an interesting thing. There's just speed it up. I heard somebody else had a theory though,

instead of doing that, cause everyone's like, Oh, that's just like bad for baseball.'s not true the game and i'm like yeah whatever it's fun to do new things especially this season but somebody was like how about instead doing that you have like basically a home run derby for the extra innings that's cool you each have three players and you get x amount of outs or whatever and you just get to mash that'd be so fun that would be kind of cool right kind of like a shootout hockey or soccer or whatever yeah so let's do it shootout that'd be pretty cool you

pitch to yourself and just like throw just you know softballs up there literal softballs yeah i bet the baseball team would love that i think people would watch it i'd watch i'd be so hyped yeah i'd be like please go to actually i'm want extra news Did you see the the video that's been going viral or not like the video but like the story that's been going viral of? The kid who saved his sister from the dog. Yes. Yeah, super cool. Yeah, I'm sure you guys have all seen it Super like brave courageous kid who did that? so if you seen the follow-up that all these like Superstars like all the Avengers people are like making videos for him? Oh, I saw a link and I didn't watch it, though.

OK, gotcha. I mean, like Captain America, like Chris Evans sent him a personalized video, like Robert Downey Jr. sent him something and said he's going to send him something else on his birthday. Oh, really? I'm here to say. I mean, I'm going to try to get a dog to attack my sister. That sounds pretty sweet. I mean, your sister has a pit bull.

is I said I wanted a water and I filled it up with Sprite okay you got me there you got me that's what it was I did I did half lemonade half Sprite I did do apples cider vinegar Brad I'm gonna to say something. It's time. I need an emphatic opinion on baking soda.

Go. Baking soda? What is that even? Don't put soda in anything that does not taste good. Dr. Pepper, Coca-Cola. Those are sodas. Pepsi. Baking soda?

Not in the same level. What does it even do? Sometimes it's just like on a shelf somewhere yeah like uh okay like what are you doing with that i don't know like why is that there uh because you need baking soda there i don't know genuinely i have no idea what it does i know there's stuff for it but why do you have baking soda i don't know i guarantee you my wife has baking soda i spent three dollars on it. I guarantee you my wife has baking soda. I spent $3 on it. $3 I'll never get back in my life for freaking baking soda. The one time I've used it, I put it in my shoe because my shoes smell bad. Yeah, they probably made them smell worse.

Imagine putting Mountain Dew in those shoes. Worse. Much. No, better. Oh. Better than baking soda. Oh. Okay, thanks.

You're welcome. A couple episodes ago we did that i just wanted to see more just spontaneous rants from you i was i was uh not ready but i that's how i feel i thought you did fine thank you oh man good times uh one of the people i hung out with in oklahoma city which for not being really a part of our lives consistently gray hudibar gets brought up in this podcast all the time my gosh gosh. Hang out with him. And I talked about, you know, I spent the fourth with him. And I said, you know, he's got himself a lady now.

I think I mentioned that. Heard. So I never heard the story until this week. And it's pretty awesome. And we got to try this move somehow. I mean, I know you're decently married, but we could try it with other things. No, she's OK with it. Yeah.

I mean, she's out of town. Yeah. So his move is basically he met her at a wedding. They both in a wedding party together been flirting all day he's like trying to talk to her all night she's like not having it but he is persistent okay good for him he's like she lives in chattanooga he's in oklahoma he's like i don't care like i want to see you i want to know you it's like the end of the night she's still not really buying in and i guess in her mind she's thinking like this guy just does this all the time probably you know just like meets girls.

Like, it's like, no, like I grant you automatically think womanizer. Yeah. I'm sure anyone who knows grant definitely had that first impression. Um, and so he goes,

no, uh, like, this is for real. Like, I mean it. And he's wearing like a nice watch. He's at a wedding and he takes his watch and puts it on her, her wrist.

And he goes, I, I mean what I say. In fact, I'm going to go, I'm going to pick this up from you in Chattanooga. Okay. And like, what was that move? Which I never even heard of that move.

That's crazy. And so she wore it out. They like parted ways and she took the watch with her. And then he picked it up from her, like went and visited her in Chattanooga like a week or two later. No, that's great. I don't even know if that's considered a move.

That's just like, because I don't know if it's like a move if other people don't do it. It. No, that's great. I don't even know if that's considered a move. That's just like, because I don't know if it's like a move if other people don't do it. It's like, that's Grant. That's like his like proprietary intellectual property. That's the Grant.

Yeah. So once I heard that on Friday and I have given away so many of my belongings. I was wondering where your car was. I was like, why do you have to take a rental car? Yeah.

I've made up this story about how like, oh, it'd be fun to get a real car. But Ashley from Delaware, what was I thinking thinking i'll see you soon dover hey uh yeah my friend you met my friend ben over there um bend over oh i didn't really want to make the joke okay yeah because of inappropriate but uh yeah so I'm without a car. Most of my computer software and my camera lens. I held on to the camera.

But she knew like, hey, the lens is the most important part. Yeah. You took it off and gave it to her. Yeah, I gave her the lens. I said, hey. She's like, what? You have to film the rest of this wedding. No, I don't. Not anymore.

I'll be in Bismarck. Yeah. I will see you there. Bismarck. I'll be there. I'll be there. But yeah, I thought that was awesome. That sounds like something out of a movie.

That is nice. I did that in real life. That's sweet. Gives her the watch and says, I'll pick it up I'll be there. But yeah, I thought that was awesome. Like that sounds like something out of movie. That is nice. He did that in real life. That's, that's sweet. Gives her the watch and says, I'll pick it up in Chattanooga. Fire. I just love imagining that going wrong. Like,

like you see like three days later, like Facebook marketplace, Lindsay Hudeberg, I don't know her name, you know, whatever posted this thing. It's like a super nice watch. You know,

Like she showed, he shows up at Chattanooga and she's like oh grant oh my gosh hey grant greg what was yeah yeah i yeah from the wedding and he's like where's the watch oh my gosh they didn't tell you i put it somewhere safe it might take me three or four days to get it though i gotta send some emails i mean i gotta check facebook marketplaces that return policy. Oh, they didn't tell you. I just,

I gave it to one of the other bridesmaids, Oklahoma city. I was like, I'm not really interested in him. So I'm just going to have them give it back to you. Or she give it to another guy. She's like, that was a good move.

word it's like is this am i getting water damage very cold three blankets maybe you're gonna need a keyboard replacement yourself yeah my spacebar space bar still works. Thank goodness. Oh, that's what I should have said is one of my things is I got a new computer, a replacement computer. Hewlett Packard. Yeah. HP for the victory. HPV.

And I bought it. Do you know what HPV is? Yeah. That's a joke. It's a joke. Okay. What is it? Human papillomavirus.

No, I'm just kidding. I went to Best Buy and I was like, I just need the cheapest PC you can get. I bought a CNC machine, uh, woodworking people and it requires this, this PC program. So I was like, I just need the cheapest thing you can find. And long story short. Yeah. You can buy a laptop these days for $239. Wow. Who knew? Who knew? It is, it is not as good as my MacBook though. I'll tell you that right now. That, I mean, that makes sense. Yeah.

They, they priced it accordingly, but it's not terrible. It gets the job done. Surf's the web. The last, the first five days I've had it. It's pretty good. Oh, speaking of surfing the web real quick, ghostrunners.life today. If you're listening, it's on a Monday, Monday, the day this episode came out is the last day you could buy merch up until midnight. So get while you can ghost runners kansas city grkc

soft tri-blend four holes nice nice nice stuff um played pickleball last week wednesday and isaac and i's you know little league yeah how's that going um good we're in first place of course things are nice um we were playing against a team who wasn't very good. At least their record wasn't very good. And we also heard that Chicken and Pickle will let you demo paddles for free. Oh, cool. It's like you try new paddles. That would be fun. Just try new paddles. And if you're going to do it, do it against a team who's maybe not as good. Yeah. Rather than

a championship game or something. I think they gave us two by fours for paddles. It was something the equivalent of just a large block of wood that we were using. I mean, I'm exaggerating. So you don't get to choose what paddles you do. We equivalent of just a large block of wood that we were using i mean i'm exaggerating you don't get to choose what paddles you do we did but they just we didn't love them weren't good yeah and so we find ourselves in this first game down four to zero five to zero six to zero and i was like we got to ride it out we got to ride the paddles out for

this first game let's just see yeah we get down nine to zero it's looking rough we just can't hit anything in and it gets to the point these other guys are so nice and uh i don't think they started nice but then they just get like feeling bad for us like you know i hit one yeah almost goes over hits the net and they go oh nice try jake nice try like calling us by name and it's like oh hey good hustle isaac good hustle and you know it was very nice and we didn't really say anything but it was understood like we're gonna show them a little bit and then we get our new paddles the next game 11 to 11 one heck yeah and i i know they had to be thinking like oh my gosh you should have been like it's too nice of a try nice try randy oh yeah nice try

you guys good try yeah They were so nice. It probably seemed like we meant to hustle them, but we just not that good with two by force. So you switched the paddles for the last two though. Yeah. We just switched paddles. Um, yeah.

That kind of reminds me of the Michael Jordan documentary where somebody was just said something nice. Like, Hey, what's up MJ? And he's like, Oh, we're going to trash talk.

Yeah. We're going to trash talk before the game. And then other, one other time, the coach like saw him at the restaurant before, like the night before. And he didn't say anything to him and jay's like oh okay oh so we're not saying anything no matter what you did it was just a problem to mj nice try okay choose a better adjective nice is so basic nice yeah try sympathetic maybe compassionate try efficient effort yeah give

me some alliteration yeah but um yeah probably like we were hustling them we just forgot to put money on the second third game we're still figuring out how to hustle people right but they played into it perfectly um so yeah pickleball's great guys we need your help a little bit something is happening at 7 p.m every night i think we just put it out to them brad we were last week was our biggest week ever podcast wise like listenership was and i looked into the metrics more and something is happening specifically on spotify every night at 7 p.m if you found this podcast somehow let us know we're just more curious people are looking

at their watch like 7 34 like oh my gosh why am i listening to this where am i uh so i don't know that's all i have to say it's just like something's clearly happening and it's out of our control, but it's so cool. It's like, it's like, yeah, every, every night, like comedy hour on Spotify.

Like we just get, we just get highlighted. Yeah. But we don't know. So I really am curious though. Yeah. Yeah. Cause I sure do the chart.

It's yes. It's buzzing at seven. It's very obvious. Like seven o'clock, way more than six and eight even like, it's not like just that hour. So let us know if you found this podcast if you're listening to us out there i don't know that's right do you want to play that

game that you came up with we don't know how this is gonna go it's either gonna be awesome or just okay okay i'll get the music ready you explain it oh yeah i'm so good at explaining games so in like a really succinct way okay so you guys know games um this is one of those so this is a game you can either win it or you can lose it there's two players and you get one minute to either win it or lose it we call it minute to win it or lose it um 60 seconds to achieve the prize uh yeah so i had this random idea yesterday uh inspired by the game big booty back in the day but not really uh booty anyway um so i'm calling this game one two three four keeping it simple um and the idea is that we're gonna have uh different rounds and each round is gonna have

a different category so let's say for example the category is um united states states okay and um we would get a beat and we would have to say, we'd go back and forth basically trying to name states until one of us slips up. And we had to do it along with the beat. So it was like five, six, seven, eight. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri. New York. Oh, no.

And then I would do a pause. I give you a pause. I give you a quick pause. So Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri. One, two, three, four, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, one, two, three, four, Texas, North Dakota, South Dakota, North Carolina. Oh, two, three, four, New Mexico, Arizona, Oregon, Washington. You get it. Yes. So, so that's how we do it. We did. That was good. That was a good practice round. Okay, good. Yeah. We didn't have

any repeats. That one's a little more concrete which is good but then i also have ideas of ones that are a little bit more like uh asphalt or pavement uh or what no i mean like different categories that are i know just joke vague just jokey joke oh i see concrete i didn't get it i didn't get it that's okay that's okay so um i don't know i was like hey we should do this to actual like instrumentals of songs to make it so flustered oh i'm gonna get flustered yeah so we'll see how it goes um yeah let's do it all right so while i play the song and then you're gonna say the category oh i'll say it right now okay what is it um let's do let's do names just names but names that we've heard of don't make up a name okay i feel like

that's that's yeah you start yeah yeah andrew adam thomas jake one two three four ben blake brown Thomas, Jake, one, two, three, four. Ben, Blake, Brown. Dang it. That lasted. I was like, oh, Brad did A's. I'll do B's. Brown. Oh, my gosh.

Hey, Brown's a last name. I should have said first names, but let's try again. Try again. No, you won that one. You won that one. won that one move on okay goodness gracious i was like that's a rich category to start that'll go forever yeah we could we could you could just kind of start blurting out stuff brown i did yeah i blurted out brown oh okay okay this next category um is parts of body. So you can go like organs or bones or, you know, like.

Oh, you're going to kill me on this. Anything goes. I've never seen a body. You're married. Yep. Live. Not yet, not yet, not yet. I thought it was coming.

I don't know the song that well. One, two, three, four three four mandible collarbone foot liver this one's slow this one's nice i'm not gonna say brown this time forehead nose mouth cheek acl tooth knee ankle i'm running out mcl right metatarsal left metatarsal ear okay okay i'm going inside heart left lung right lung small intestine. This is what people came here for this is good stuff Abdomen nipple Yes, I Was not listening to you what around darn it just looking at you Jake

Okay, it's just for all the marks to go best of three or best of five? Best of five. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. This next one is TV channels. Oh, okay. Oh, so, so for those of you out there that don't know, TV channels are these things back in the day that you could change. This is for Gen Z. Yeah. You had this thing called a remote that could change the channel for you. And it just had like thousands of them.

It was awesome. You used to only have one remote. And now I think if you, if you own a house, like minimum three, you have to have it. But yeah just had like thousands of them. It was awesome. You used to only have one remote. And now I think if you own a house, like minimum three, you have to have it. But yeah, back then you had one. It was awesome. One, two, three. All right.

One, two, three, four. B-E-T-E-S-P-N-E-S-P-N-2. Fox. Three, four. ABC, NBC. You had way more time to think than I did. Actually i should have been thinking the whole time i'm so dumb i don't know why i didn't pre-think of anything i i started thinking when i started talking that was on me i should i laugh like so hard because i know it's like so easy to do that that's why i I like, that's why I'm laughing.

Oh man. I'm sure. Okay. So the other category I had written down was male names. We already did names. So we're going to do colors. Okay. Colors.

I'm repeating a instrumental. I'll start this time. All my Crayola fans out there. Those who've been coloring and riding with me since day one. Let's go. Hey, brown, yeah. All my Crayola fans out there. Oh. Those who've been coloring and riding with me since day one. Let's go. Hey. Brown, black, white, red. Yellow, blue, green, turquoise.

Hmm. Magenta, lavender, cerulean. Great white. Dang it. Dang it. Lavender's not even a color sure it is okay i said great blue like i was gonna say light blue or gray and said great blue oh the great white there's a great white shark there's probably great blue and they're so white great blue seas

oh man dang it that song fired me up i was ready to spit i was gonna make it rhyme and then i was like oh we already took all the one word colors. When Brad first told me about this game, I said, I'm going to get so flustered. I just knew it. All right. Let's try one more. Countries. You're better at me than countries. Thank you. I appreciate that. And this is the slow one. United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil. One, two, three. Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia. What?

I was just ready for you to... Costa Rica, Guatemala, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina. Damn! What a brand! Brad, there's so many, which that's probably how you felt when I screwed up. All around. You said brown. Great performance by all of us each game.

Try it out at home. Tell me what you think. Wow. Why were we so bad at that? I don't know, dude. Actually, I mean, I'm kind of speaking for you. Why was I so bad at this? That Dr. Dre incident will fire me up, though.

Yeah, that was nice. Yeah. Should we listen to that more? Maybe. Hey. That was nice. Yeah. Should we just listen to that more? Maybe. Hey. Hey. Uh. Let me just tell you, I'll just go for a segment while we have this song in the background.

Okay. So Catherine was gone this week and she made me water her plants. I loved it. I don't know why, but it just made me get, it felt like I was giving life to those plants. I was like, water, water, water those plants. What, what, what, well water those plants. I was like, water, water, water those plants. What, what, what, water those plants. And I loved it. Genuinely, though, I don't know.

I'm not, I don't want to do it every day, but watering those plants was really, really fun. Was it out of a canister or with a hose? It was with a hose, but it was on the shower setting. Oh, so it was like, just like a nice, nice stream. Just felt like you were like giving them life. It was like, I am sustaining you right now with this this water like you are thirsty and i gave you a drink kind of thing should we get into voice memos we got a lot we'll probably just do a few of them okay um because we're already a ways into this little boy hey jake and brad my name is isaac and i live in

nashville tennessee you guys i have a couple things to tell you jake um i love your tiktoks and brad oh your tiktok is very hard to find i feel like i deserve a reward for finding it because it took me half an hour but my question for y'all is what is your favorite memory that has anything to do with chick-fil-a so for, mine is after driver's ed this summer, every week of it, I would go, I would drive in the driver's ed card and Chick-fil-A get Chick-fil-A and then go back to my school football stadium and eat it in one of the suites. And that was just so fun. And that's just one of my favorite memories. And I really love the podcast.

Hope y'all have a good day and I'll see you later. Peace. Peace. That's awesome. That is a good day and I'll see you later. Peace. Peace. That's awesome. That is a good Chick-fil-A memory. I have a lot of great, obviously, memories of Chick-fil-A. Yeah. We spent a lot of time. Obviously, James saying, hey, we're going to give you free food for the rest of your

life was pretty sweet. Monumental. But honestly, I was thinking about the one that is my favorite is when Catherine and I told you that we were pregnant with Hattie. Do you remember that? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Ward Parkway. So we hadn't like, this was our, obviously our first pregnancy and we hadn't really told very many people yet. So we didn't have it like down of like how we're going to tell people. I forgot. And Catherine had just like written a text, you know, hadn't sent it though. And like, show it to me on her phone. It says, should we tell Jake?

I just look at her and I was like, yeah. And you're like, tell him what? Yeah yeah nothing's that new in my life yeah i don't even know what you're talking about we're not moving there's nothing monumental at all about this uh and she's kind of blurted out like hey jake we're pregnant and it just it threw jake for a spiral let me tell you you thought me saying brown was me flustered you should see me in there whoa it's like oh don't worry you're not having a baby i was just like oh my oh my i mean that's gonna change our lives guys i mean that's just so much responsibility you know like it has to be watched like all the time right and you guys are gonna do that one of you are good with that yeah i mean i'm gonna start a podcast with one

of you so the other one needs to stay at home with the kids. Yeah. That was a really good chick. That was a fun one. Yeah. So that's good. Oh, have I ever told the story about Domi getting frustrated with Catherine for drinking kombucha when she was pregnant? Yeah, I think so. She thought it was alcoholic.

Yeah. She was like really like frustrated with, I don't know, we really shouldn't have her drinking that. And I was like, okay. You know, anyway. That's a tough. Okay. Like, yeah. Thing to navigate. i was like okay you know anyway that's a tough okay like yeah thing to navigate i was like oh never mind i lost i lost some audio volume for a second

oh jake oh um i i think i had one of mine and then once you said telling me that you were pregnant reminded me of uh something not that similar to that but when I was at Chick-fil-A one time with that lady and you and Isaac were there and we didn't plan it, you had Mr. James, of all people, it was just so perfect, send over a vanilla milkshake with two straws in it. It was so funny. It is such a funny gesture because it's at a place called Chick-fil-A, you know, and it's just like, and James was like like the gentleman over there wanted me to bring this to you oh it was so funny and it was just like a cool moment for me like those are my friends yeah look how cool they are they're so funny and even though it's kind of weird that like you met him

this way yeah i was planning on waiting longer whatever yeah that was so fun that was one of the just like the hardest times i've laughed i'm just like i can't believe this you're like oh my gosh the gentleman over there don't want me to bring you this yeah and james kept hooking me up too like i ordered a small macaroni he brought over like a catering size macaroni for us to share and then he comes over like a third time and brings us two chocolate chip cookies i thought you guys might enjoy this and it was just so like weirdly probably not actually impressive but she was like this place hooks you up. Like this place loves you. You're a big deal. Yeah, I was like, no wonder, you know,

you come here all the time. Right, oh man. That was a funny memory. The good old Chick-fil-A days. When we could go inside. Yeah, that was awesome. I forgot about that. So Isaac, thanks for the question.

That was really great. Yeah. Another voice memo from a dude. Have fun. What's up, Jake and Brad? It's Ryan Wah here with a voice memo for the podcast. Sure. Thank you for clearing it up for me.

And as you can see, I figured it out. I just wanted to say hi and thank you for reading my review. I told my whole family and they were all like, no way. It's kind of crazy. That's cool. I heard about this podcast from the from trey kennedy's correct opinions so yeah i really liked when jake got on there so i was like well i just go check him out so you guys are a great combination keep up the good work um i have a

question so i'm a little bit younger and people people say that only older people listen to podcasts but i like to do it while i'm mowing or taking my dog for a walk. And I was wondering if whenever you guys were kids, if you did anything that maybe older people would do more. All right. Thanks. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. One of you was like, yeah, but I like to do it when I'm mowing or balancing my checkbook.

Something like really old person. Like, oh, I did not expect that. Either that or when I'm crocheting while watching Matlock. When I'm working on my hedge funds. mowing or um you know balancing my checkbook you know something like really old person like oh i did not expect that either that when i'm crocheting while watching matlock when i'm working on my hedge funds right thank you for the voicemail that's really cool um first thing comes to mind i mean besides pickleball because i mean the old generation is definitely doing that more than we are i think yeah the first thing i think of is just like waving to people while i'm driving i think that's an old man thing and like as soon as i started driving i was very into the steering wheel right wave yeah hey how are you you go two fingers um i think like several go up just in this room howdy okay um not two like the

the full hand oh yeah i'm a two finger i do it all yeah pretty versatile yeah jasmine you guys uh i don't know growing up like i had two my older sisters are eight years older than me ten years older than me and so i was always a little more quote-unquote mature than other people my age like in like nice my tastes of music and my movies that i watched i guess stuff like that um but one of the coolest things that my sisters taught me was settlers oflers of Catan. I think I started playing that when I was fourth or fifth grade. And so like, yeah. And so I feel like I was way ahead of the curve on that.

And also the band Death Cab for Cutie. So those are the two really like old person things I did as a kid. You were ahead of? Yeah, I was listening to Death Cab and Postal Service way before people had heard of them. So I tried reading C. reading CS Lewis in middle school, confusing at that age. You pretend like you understood it.

Like, Oh wow. Yeah. It's just, theology's nuts. Yeah. Screw tape letters. We're going to,

I'd rather have glue, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Where's the screw tape typewriters? What's the sequel? Yeah. Um,

yeah. Thomas weird. Thomas. i don't know uh thank you for the voice memo and oh third one in a row from a dude this is great we love brad and jake jake and brad this is samuel sim from springfield missouri first time caller a long time listener and i gotta be quick but i recently borrowed some of jake's advice for giving a speech at a wedding let's go let's in now to see how it went. Oh my gosh. I've been friends with Keaton now

for eight years. He says that I have more than enough content for this speech. Unfortunately for Keaton, this means I could say some pretty embarrassing stuff. Over these next three minutes, Keaton has no idea what I might say, so this could honestly be the worst three minutes of this day.

On the other hand, the worst three minutes of Sarah's day will be later tonight. Yes. Yes! Awkward pause in between it, like, did he just say that? So basically, that was the funniest and most cringeworthy thing I've ever said in public, but it was worth it. The whole crowd went nuts

for almost a minute, and I thank you for that. Really quick, though, even though it's unlikely I ever give a speech again, what other jokes might you say? Thanks, guys. Love the pod. First of all, that's awesome you did that. If you didn't catch it and are a somewhat new listener, the joke that I told that I encourage any best man to use is

I'm giving the speech today. The groom doesn't know what I'm going to say. It could be the worst three minutes of his entire day, but the worst three minutes of the bride's day is going to be the speech today. The groom doesn't know what I'm going to say. It could be the worst three minutes of his entire day, but the worst three minutes of the bride's day is going to be later on tonight. Crowd goes wild, as it did for Samuel there. So that was awesome. You could like literally hear like the like,

wait, did he just say that? Like the processing people died. The eruption. Like there was that. There was that. That'd be a scary second. Yeah. Oh, gosh, what have I done?

Did they? Oh, he said throwback to episode four in the title. So it's been a long time since I mentioned that wow episode four my goodness that's awesome he said any other best man jokes i don't know i mean most of them are going to be specific to well he didn't say any other jokes in general so i pulled up a few oh did you what do you got um what do you call a floating steer well a balloon oh good so there's one open with that yeah and then close with this oh and then this one this is a jake triplet um inspired one what do you call it when someone sends you a message to go to their catholic church with them a mass text

yeah mass text to me i think um let's see's see, what's like a universal joke you could do if you're giving a speech? Maybe like, ooh, okay, so you announce, I don't know how well this would work. Like the city you're in, just like, what is up Nashville? And they cheer and they're like, okay, good to hear you guys cheer. I said that exact same phrase last night in New Orleans and they didn't cheer this loud. I don't get it. Like, cause I said, what's up Nash? so i guess i need to word it better oh like like pretending like i said what's up nashville last night in new orleans maybe there's a way to word that okay better where it's like okay yeah okay it's not great it was just on the fly trying to

think of a universal joke that's a tough question but i'm'm glad that your first joke, the three-minute one, is just iconic. Yeah. Great. Well, glad it worked. Next voice memo. Hey, Jake and Brad. Whoa. It's Olive and Ella from Pennsylvania.

Jake, I have a question for you. I'm an aspiring videographer, and I was wondering if you had any advice. I also can't spell, and you said in an earlier podcast that all the videographers you know can't spell. So I feel like it's kind of God's plan for me. And then for Brad, I have a question of if you're planning to quit your job and go aspire after a dream, how do you do that? What do you do? What's your advice? Because you did that with woodworking and we think that's really cool. And then as a fun game, me and my sister and I really like your football pickup lines with

the, she wants to get flagged for holding. Yeah. And we think those are so funny. So we thought it'd be fun if you guys picked a topic for each other or picked one topic overall and then went back and forth and try to say pickup lines for each other. I love this. Thanks guys. Bye bye.

I love this. Wow. Okay. Thank you guys both for the voice memo. That's awesome. Yeah, I'm not kidding. There's some weird correlation between guys both for the voice memo. That's awesome. Uh, yeah, I'm not kidding.

There's some weird correlation between not being able to spell and like very talented filmmakers. So you're already on the right track. Like that's that. I cannot emphasize enough that you are doing the right thing. Any advice would be, I don't know what part of the step of the process you're in. I'd say just like shoot a bunch of stuff.

Don't even like post it. You know, if you don't want to, like it's going to be bad for a while and you're always going to look back like that was not even good. But that's part of the process. Just know that everyone thinks their old work is bad.

The only way you get better is by keep making stuff. Challenge yourself. When I first bought a camera, I made a video every single day for a month. You know, just even though maybe life isn't that exciting right now, still like challenge yourself.

Can I make a video out of the dripping kitchen sink? Can I make that into a video? And you'll get better. You'll get better that way. That's my short, sweet advice. I like it. Um, for me, I feel like you and I could tag team this question about like going out and following your dream and like going out and doing your own business. Because I think we both are similar and different in some ways. Like, like my, my advice, I guess, is to like grind out two jobs as long as you can until you're absolutely sure that this is going to work because I'm more like, yes, I like went out there and like pursued my dream and like took a leap of faith, but I didn't just

like take it and then hope it was going to work. Like I really hated leap. Yes. I was like trying to calculate out very, like until like I was working 18, 19 hour days. And finally I was like, okay, I can't do this anymore. This is getting ridiculous. And then I was like, okay, I'm done with this, but I have enough stuff going on with woodworking that I can just make this my full-time thing. So I would say just, just grind it out as much as possible. I feel like you aren't like completely different than me, but I think you take a little more risks and stuff.

Like, I don't know if this Ellen thing is going to work. I don't know if, you know, moving to Dallas, whatever. Yeah. Moving to Dallas.

Like you have a little more of like a risk taking mentality than me, but I still think you think about it a lot before you do it. Yeah. It's hard. You can't prove stuff all the time with, with what you do compared to like, I can prove that my, like people want my tables. You can't prove stuff all the time with with what you do compared to like i can prove that my like people want my tables you can't be like people are going to want this brand new video

that i've never even done yet you know what i mean yeah um there's a lot of ways you can answer this question and obviously we're just doing this off the off the cuff right now so who knows but i'll try to make it short and sweet i mean yeah i think having a ton of confidence in yourself will help you dive into anything yeah better and more just, I don't know, positively. And so you need to have a lot of confidence in whatever it is you're doing. For me, I think I was able to be riskier than you, Brad, because I've been young and single or just been single this whole time. And so I don't have anyone to provide for us. It's like if this doesn't work out, I only have myself to provide for. And I think that's part of my philosophy. Maybe I've said this before, but the co-founder of Instagram, he has a quote, almost a famous quote. It's not

famous at all. I heard it in a random podcast one time and I just haven't forgotten it. He said, you know, a lot of people think success comes from being intelligent or maybe from being lucky. And he said, my thing is that are you smart enough to know when you've been granted some luck? Are you intelligent enough to realize you've been given some sort of blessing in this current state? And I feel like I've always looked at the perspective of my whole life and been like, okay, I'm in a really fortunate position.

My contract with youth ministry is up. I've developed a skill in videography that I completely fell into. This guy has this like potentially great offer for me. Like I feel very, you know, lucky, quote unquote. And I was able to realize that. And I was like, I think I want to capitalize on it. And then the last point I'll make is just like, I've made a lot of big decisions in life wondering what do I not want to regret doing later in life? Yeah. Do I

want to be selling insurance when I'm 35 wondering what if when I was 24, I would have moved to Dallas and done that YouTube thing? Right. What would have happened? What if I would have bought that limo? We were so close to buying the limo, but then I got cold feet. What if I would have bought the limo? So many things are just like, what do I want to not regret doing later in life? I had that same conversation. Yeah. I had that same conversation with Catherine's dad when I was trying to figure it out. He's a business guy. And I'm like, should I do this thing or not? He's like, if you don't, you're just going to be thinking about it for a long time, man. And other people said the same thing you did of like, because at the time I didn't

have any kids or anything. It was just me and Catherine. We had low expenses and everything. So it wasn't as risky. So it's like, oh man, I would have loved to do that when I was in your position, but I can't anymore. It's way harder to do it when you're older. So yeah.

And just work like crazy. Like, I feel like as long as you're working really, really hard, it's really hard to truly fail. You might not make it as much as you want to, but if you're just grinding really, really hard, you're going to, you'll end up somewhere. Yeah. You're going to have some kind of output out there. That's, that's valuable to people. Yeah. You're proud of it. We can talk about that for a while, but I liked her question though. So we have to give each other the categories and then we'll go on like a, um, grocery store.

Okay. Yeah. Um, okay. um okay grocery store pickup line i mean obviously there's pickup limes oh sure you know from uh think about that i thought you were to set me up from who was it isaac who said he loved my tiktoks which is funny not a lot of people will say that big tiktok guy yeah pickup limes is an easy one oh sorry i'm not gonna pick up limes whoa eulogic uh gluten because i could celiac you and me together um i like seeing girls when they're like in the back of the store because i can see their um their derriere i don't know whoa you must like beans because uh lima go on it, want to Lima be dating you soon. Lima, Lima, Lima liking what I'm seeing right now. Yeah.

Um, yeah, yours are so good. Okay. Um, new category. Okay. Weather.

Oh, snap. Um, who is it overcast in here? I don't know. Is it, is it overcast? Oh, don't know is it is it overcast in here oh god because i have clouded vision this is a little harder than we thought it was gonna be no no no um are you telling me the weather because i want to get meteor all up in your business you're all up in okay that's nice um i was reading um some metrics on the weather today

as cot hold on ask yeah that's good that's that's it that's what we're in it on dang it and we maybe we should record at 1 a.m not firing all cylinders struggle over here okay next voice memo house you know, sorry. Started in the middle. Hey, you guys. It's Bonnie from Utah, and I have a mouse-catching story for you. A friend of mine, many years ago, was at his girlfriend's house, and he realizes he's got to go to the bathroom. You know, and it ain't no number one.

And so he's got to think of a plan to get out of there and go home. And so he fakes a phone call from his mom and then tells his girlfriend, my mom says there's a mouse at the house. I got to go catch it for real quick and then I'll be back. And so he goes home to quote unquote, catch a mouse and it all worked out. They're married now. And you know, the thing is, if anyone says they got to catch a mouse, you know what they're doing. So my question for you is, what would your excuse have been hey thanks for the pod you guys love it love you bye bye okay first question i gotta ask maybe it's because i'm married and i'm not as self-conch but i don't know if it's ever worth going home just it's like sometimes you just get up, got to be like, yeah, I'm a human. I have to poop and just flush right away.

Do the courtesy flesh multiple if you have to, and just own it. I can't, I, I, I don't want to. And that's the thing I would, I would hold it as much as I could.

I don't know, dude, I would never leave to go somewhere though. See, I kind of love, I've never heard of that move, but I love it. I have to go catch a see i kind of love i've never heard of that move but i love it i have to go catch a mouse i'll be right i really do i really love that move because he's coming back he's not like leave and forget he's not like scared to come back it's just

like he made up a great excuse that would take maybe you know 10 minutes plus drive time yeah i think it's awesome gosh i just i can't remember the last time i've even had the urge to go like that in somebody else's house like i have to go right now and i have to do it or else i'm gonna there's gonna be a mouse coming out of my house stewart littles make his way it's stirred big um yeah no i don't yeah i guess i would say something like i kept the oven on i think i kept the oven on i gotta go check on that you like the dinner party episode oh they said my apartment's flooded jim you can buy new things but you can't buy a new party that's true jim that's true i would say uh what my excuse be the mouse in the house is nice catch a mouse that's a great that's a great one i would say oh my gosh i just got a text that disappeared so so you can't see it or look at it.

I got a Snapchat message. I just got a Snapchat from my landlord. He's really into it. He's really into it. It's a little weird. He normally snaps me in the daytime, but there are a few question marks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would say there's a fight in my backyard.

I have to go see what's going on kimbo slice is trying to film a youtube in my backyard right now r.i.p r.i.p yeah um yeah i would say there's a fight in my backyard good i have to go i'm not gonna fight babe i'm not gonna fight in it probably babe yeah but i need to look at it i need to see i'll just make sure double check it doesn't like go indoors okay so yeah sorry i'll be i'll be back in like 15 minutes there's a pipe my back here it's like it's gonna be a quick one though like 15 minutes max i just have one of those feelings yeah yeah yeah okay one last voice memo hey jake and brad my name is chris and fun fact i once lived and worked at a christian camp in roach missouri oh Roche, Missouri is not one of the proud things that Missouri has to offer.

But anyway, I am a big fan of the podcast. And this week I had a moment that I thought you might appreciate. I'm a youth pastor in St. Louis, and my youth group was out paintballing. We had a younger sibling of one of our students attend, and I was trying to make sure they were doing all right paintballing can kind of hurt so i was checking in with them to see if they were good so i went to say you could take a break if you need to but at the last second my brain suggested using the word rest instead so what i actually told this nine-year-old was you can take a breast if you need to wanted to ask y'all do you have any stories like that where you said something embarrassing by accident at church or camp or another public speaking event uh thank you on your feet thank

you on your feet i like i like the just the very like simple not super passionate on your feet like like maybe like from now on ghost runners whenever they see each other hey on your feet oh on your feet man what's up yeah on your feet yeah how you doing i'm pregnant and um moving all on your feet oh on your on your feet brother okay very cool very cool peace be with you and on your feet shabbat shalom on your feet yeah i think i've told a quick story before on the podcast one time i was trying to say i was in the country country boy character in a skit i was trying to say we should uh rope that snake and i said rape that snope and i was like oh boy but then i just kept talking and no one really caught it and it wasn't that bad i mean everyone gave me a hard time afterwards like

leadership team but yeah it wasn't too bad i'm terrible at praying um after i get done with like worship sets and so often i like write them down because i'm like i gotta be intentional intentional about this or else it's going to come out wrong. And this one did, cause I didn't write it down. Uh, and I was trying to just be like, talk about how we're so desperate for God. And, um, I was just basically like, ah, I just like, God, we just know that without you, we are just, we are so, and the only word I could think of is screwed. Like, gosh, we were, we were just so, we just know we're so, and I, I didn't say, I forget what I eventually said, but I was like, I have no synonyms for screwed. And I think at that, at this point I kind of like looked up and Catherine was looking

at me like, don't say it. Find it. Don't find a synonym. Say something else. Say we're so screwed. Oh God. oh god see see guys see what i'm saying sometimes we get in a position where we feel screwed right so anyway uh i i don't think i said it i don't i'm almost positive i didn't but yeah there's so many times where i've just been like oh gosh that and uh god's magic god's magic we've talked about before that one god in infamy cast

This is the best podcast ever, period. Brad, get ready. I don't like Justin Bieber. And Jake, tell Trey that 21 Pilots is not a white person band if you don't like Ride or Stressed Out.
