Jake, I was driving today and I was on kind of a country Missouri highway and I saw on the side of the road this kind of old shack and it had a sign that says no trespassing. Okay. And that was kind of normal and then I thought about it a little more and I was like, what? Like, what's the deal with no trespassing signs? Why? If they're not there, you can just go on in. Yeah, why do you post about some laws and not other ones? Yeah, yeah. I post about some laws and not other ones? Yeah.

Yeah. I would post no murder on my property. Just FYI. This is a no murder zone. No homicides. We're good. Yeah. Um, just FYI.

Yeah. Not, not any of that around here. We don't enjoy, please don't steal. No steel zone. No steel. Hey, we put up the sign. We put up the sign. No steel zone.

Okay. No steel zone. No murder zone. No trespassing. You know, like you walk in like, like, like, like it's like, yeah, I'm just going to go ahead and take your pillow. I'm going to go and take your pillow and sleep in your bed. Is that cool?

Well, that's illegal. I didn't see a sign. Sorry. Where's the sign? Didn't see a sign. Where's the sign? I'm up at sugar holler and I saw a sign. I don't see one down here.

You know, it's like, what the heck? Like who, who is thinking of this? Yeah, I don't. That's the only sign you see to remind you of a law that's already in place. Yeah, yeah. That I'm not allowed here. No trespassing. That and beware of dog.

They kind of go hand in hand. It's like a two for one deal at these sign stores. Yeah. Like, OK. Yeah. You need to have like the tagline of like, no trespassing. We're patient, brutus is it that's another thing like what kind of dog are you do you own and like are raising where you're

story that happened the last couple days so i'm to start with the Hattie stories. The first one is, like I said last week, Hattie and Catherine were gone. They came back and Catherine told me the story. When they were gone in Texas, it was Catherine. And then Catherine was watching her little niece. I'm sorry, her little nephew, Sloan, as well as Hattie. They were all swimming in Catherine's parents' pool. And they were all swimming. They were having fun.

And Catherine's talking to Sloan, kind of jokingly. How old is Sloan Dog? Sloan Dog Millionan dog millionaire is one and a half. Okay. I think, Ooh, I think she just turned two. Oh boy. I should know that Sloan. If you're listening, sorry. We don't know. She absolutely just turned two. They just had a birthday party for it. I thought it was he. Oh, Sloan dog. Millionaire's a big old girl. You, I thought you corrected niece to nephew earlier. Oh, did I? I'm flustered already. Golly. Oh, hey, Sloan, you're a beautiful girl.

Okay. She's a girl. Lady Sloan. Lady Sloan. Okay. Yep. I was trying to think of another funny joke, but I couldn't. Sloan dog.

Sloan ranger. Sloan ranger. Sloan survivor. You're killing it. One more. Oh, the Sloan star tick. That's what bit me to make me allergic to red meat. That was the third one. The Sloan star state. Yeah. Lives in the Sloan survivor. You're killing it. One more. Oh, um, uh, the Sloan star tick. That's what bit me to make me allergic to red meat. That was the third one.

The Sloan star state. Yeah. Lives in the Sloan star state. Anyway. Um, so they're all swimming together. Uh, Catherine jokingly was asking Sloan Sloan.

Um, who do you like better? Your mom or your dad? And as Catherine's telling me the story, I'm like, Catherine, don't do that. Don't do that.

It's a little girl. And she's like, yeah, well, funny you say that Brad, cause it totally backfired on me because Hattie thought I was asking her and Hattie just goes, my dad. And then she goes, I mean, and she was obviously like, she loves Catherine. I think 20 times more than she loves me, but she, that was just a great feeling. My, my dad. And I was like, yeah! It's nice to know that what came out of her without knowing is you.

Yeah, right. She had to think about it before she switched to mom. But then every once in a while, I'll say, Hattie, you want some ice cream? And she'll say, no. I mean, so, you know, sometimes she just reacts one way and then realizes what she's done. So, I don't know. So, that was my first Hattie story. I have another one.

If you're ready for it. If you're not, then your turn. Okay, my turn. Let's go back and forth. This one comes from this little story. It's something I saw on Instagram.com this week. I'm going to read to you what it says, and then we're going to talk about it. I think it's kind of funny.

Okay. We have a selfie of a girl in a car. Cute girl. Blue hat. Blonde hair. Light blue fingernails. Okay. We have a selfie of a girl in a car. Cute girl, blue hat, blonde hair, light blue fingernails. Okay, thank you. None of that matters. No, no, no. You'd be surprised though. Set up the scene.

Just wait, just wait. No, I was kidding. All it says is, I was already having a rocky morning and then I get a speeding ticket in downtown Dallas when I still have to do defensive driving for another one I got a couple months ago. Uh-oh. Sometimes I feel like I just can't catch a break. Jesus, give me strength today.

Okay. I think maybe Jesus just wants you to obey the law. I don't think you can't catch a break. No trespassing. I think you're driving 20 miles an hour over the speed limit. To be fair, there are signs that say how fast you can go. So she should know better. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It says no speeding. Yeah, if it were to say, hey, go as fast as you can, you can go. So she should know better. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It says no speeding. Yeah. If it were to say, Hey, uh, go as fast as you want, but you might get pulled over. I understand how you get frustrated and need Jesus in that point. I just thought it was, I don't know. Just, you know, one of those things I just, it caught my eye for, I stayed on a little longer than normal. Well, she totally missed the opportunity.

Why, why Jesus take the straight or, you know, give me a straight line. Jesus take the wheel. Jesus take the wheel. Absolutely. At least if you're straight line. Jesus take the wheel. Jesus take the wheel. Absolutely. At least if you're going to throw, if Jesus is going to take the wheel, he's not driving too fast. He's cruise controlling three miles under the, under the speed limit the whole time. I just love, uh, just like you absolutely making mistakes and be like, I just can't

catch a break. I just, I just don't know. Yeah. I've gotten pulled over eight times in the last week and I just don't know. I don't know how. I've just never been this unlucky in one week. I went to the dentist the other day and he said I had four cavities and he says it's probably from sour punch straws and all that Dr. Pepper I had for the last six years.

Yes. The sour punch straws. I'm so unlucky. I have fun dip once a day, but everybody beyond that, I'm just good. I don't know what else is going on. I have more cavities than all my friends. I just can't catch a break. Jesus, you know.

Jesus. Jesus, take the drill. Yeah. That's crazy. I know you led Moses through the Dead Sea, but lead me through this canal. There you go. Right now. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a good week. Monday morning. Oh, nice. That was good. canal uh you know i'd like to thank you and your drill joke and i never would have even thought root canal probably really so thanks like i'm i'm so impressed by that joke that i think you already had it thought up but i don't i know that's impressive i have written down speeding ticket so that's it not really okay

oh that's awesome yeah i i always just kind of ignore stuff like that. Cause I don't know. I don't know what to think when people say stuff. I didn't reply to her or anything. You should have like in private, gonna make fun of her in private to, you know, however many thousand people listen to this.

Um, that's, that's great. I just can't catch a break. I just don't know what's going on. Like I, I stayed up till three and then just like, I couldn't, my alarm went off and I didn't hear it.

I just can't, I can't. What is, what is with my alarm? I'm going to talk to Tim Apple. I give Catherine a hard time about that because she always diverts the blame to me. I don't know if we've talked about this on the, do we talk about this on the Patreon? We've talked about this privately somewhere. Yes. Oh, it's amazing.

Like how often she does it. Like, like, Hey Catherine, we're like, you know, we need to go. We're like 15 privately somewhere. Yes. Oh, it's amazing. Like how often she does it. Like, like, Hey, Catherine, we're like, you know, we need to go. We're like 15 minutes later. Right. She's like, well, if you had told me what time it was, I'm like, no, that's not my problem. You have a watch. Like, come on. Like, yeah.

If you, whatever. Like if you didn't take so long in the shower, which that one's, I guess that's valid. She doesn't say that though. I don't take that long. I guess. So the one argument that's a whole is fine um showers are great though i got stuck in the shower this week what and i know how what who do we got here stuck's right out the right word um yeah i wasn't planning on talking about this uh stuck in nashville airbnb super nice Airbnb like it was almost like um like a small box but four stories high so like a lot of square footage but like not a lot of like width or depth right

they did the most with the like the plot of land they had they just yeah yeah um very real estate going yeah yeah upwards um although you forget something and once you get in the uber a quick four flights up four flights down they had an elevator or anything no not that i found man that's a bad airbnb but i mean very brand new i'm sure if i watched hgtv i i would know the words to describe the interior that's fine you're fine but very nice very new kitchen is awesome pretty modern four stories and not very much open space it's probably probably very modern. Pretty modern. Minimal. Oh, it did have exposed brick, though. You're kidding. Yes.

Original? Man, it had the ball-peen hammer. Ball-peen, dude. Ball-peen. Ball-peen. Ball-peen. Okay, the bathroom is, the shower is very like,

kind of like rustic almost. Oh, nice. It feels brand new, but it also feels like it's meant to be old ish so like what tub was it a tub no not that old not like uh like british royalty not french country french country no yeah sugar holler yeah yeah yeah but just like whatever rustic farmhouse sure maybe i don't know sure okay let me just describe so you have one shower head and you've got one of those extra like i don't know yeah like handles if you're like old or just or just feeling a little kinky exactly yeah you got

one of those but all you have in the center is just one like nozzle, like one like steering wheel, essentially one wheel to do all this. The boldness, the boldness of that one handle. So and it's already like I go in dry and it's like like very hard to turn in the first place. But the main shower head comes on. So I'm not even going to mess with anything else. It's doing what I need it to do. I get done with the shower as far as like the cleanliness goes.

Time to turn off. And my hands are too wet. And now it's too hard. You have no grip. goes, time to turn it off. And my hands are too wet. And now it's too hard. You have no grip. And I can't turn it off. And I'm like, what do I do? I'm just stuck in here. And so then I'm like trying to turn it like, well, maybe I keep turning it to the left.

Who knows what goes there? So then I've turned it. I get, I could turn it more to the left. So now both hoses are on me. I'm like, oh, great. Too much. Now I got to go full 180 to get this back. So then I'm like grabbing towels.

Yeah. Yeah. That's what I would have said to dry off. But then like, I'm getting the towels wet and these are the towels I was going to use to dry off. You don't have just a bunch of towels. Yeah. So I'm like, at what point do I start yelling for Trey? Like, help.

It's so wet. Right. It's so wet. What do I do? Everywhere. And I mean, that's basically it. I just, I, Treyy was like you were in there for a while i was like yeah yeah um i got stuck you're close enough to a guy when he could like call you out like hey man you're kind of in there too long like yeah i um i have this lotion it was for my sunscreen there's aloe vera in it

i had a rusty handle sure sure yeah we had a pledge uh member we got him rusty handle too um anyway sullivan whatever yeah i just got i've never been like stuck in that sense in the showers like i can't leave it's just running um yeah but eventually i cranked it back oh that's interesting yeah i don't think i've ever had any experience like that. So wet. Okay. Sorry. Back to you. Second Hattie story. What else happened? Second Hattie story. Um, so Hattie and Catherine the other day, Catherine went and did early voting. Um, as you know, it's an election year and Catherine is a big fan of democracy, uh, loves, loves all things, politics and everything. Uh, so very big into the voting, voting sector of life. Um, so she voted early and when they were there, Hattie said, what's voting. And so, um,

Catherine, why don't you let your favorite parent describe it to you? So, um, so sweetheart, best friend, um, you know, I'm going to walk you in the aisle someday. Uh, no, I, so, so Catherine saw me in the story and she goes, okay. And Hattie, what is voting? Or no, she said, Hattie, who do we vote for? And our family is, we're not a big political podcast here, but our family is a big Republican conservative family. And so jokingly, I was like, oh, we vote for Republicans, right? Hattie.

And she goes, and, and Catherine kind of scoffed. And I was like, I'm just kidding. We vote for conservatives, right? Or something. And she just goes, no no we vote for Donald Trump and I have no idea like Catherine's like I did not tell her that like but we have that president's uh thing that she has Martin Van Buren on there and everything so how did she connect the two how does she know his she knows that Donald Trump is I think Catherine probably said we vote for governors and presidents and

stuff like that so she gets no to donald trump because obviously she had donald trump's on the president's thing he's a president so it's true he's the very last one so um anyway i just thought it was so funny like who do we vote for republicans conservative no donald trump we vote for one man and one man it's so funny hearing her say like old person, things like that. The other day also I was, she has this joke book, um, which just goes great with my joke telling stuff. They're all just terrible jokes that I think my parents gave it to her, but she didn't have it with her. So she's like, dad, can you just tell me some jokes?

And so I just made up a few, it's like, eh, what's a, um, Eagle's favorite basketball player, Larry bird, you know, whatever. And the other day she was like playing and I hear her say something like, and then Larry bird, you know, like, Oh wow. How did she remember that stuff? Yeah. I made a joke about that and Charles Barkley. And I've heard her say both those things since then. Ooh, it was your Charles Barkley about a dog. A hundred percent. Yeah. What's a dog's favorite basketball player. So anyway, Hattie, if, if, if it's up to Hattie, DJ T is coming for another four years.

So anyway, it's just a funny thing to say. That is funny. She's going to get confused someday and write in Larry bird. You got to vote for him. Like, well, what did it was all in the same week.

There are a lot of people he told me about. Yeah. I don't know. Someday Larry bird's probably gonna be president too. You know? Yeah. I mean, as long as we keep getting dorky looking white dudes yeah he's he's in the mix with bad hair yeah absolutely

anyway um that's cool let's see what else um oh also just real quick I listen to do less god bless podcast oh thanks for supporting Trey and um yeah listen if you're out there uh you guys talked about how Larry Bird would not do that well in today's NBA. I disagree. Oh, really? I don't think he would. I think Luka Doncic is Larry Bird, but not as good. That's also a good point.

Luka Doncic is doing great in the NBA. He also, yeah, he doesn't look it, but he looked like he's pretty quick. I bet Larry Bird was quick. Larry Bird was quick with the passes, dude. He's got the, he's got the handles. I don't know. It's more so just the way, like he shot the ball behind his head. Yeah. Which, you know, doesn't get blocked much.

Yeah. But I think there's a reason that you don't see a lot of pure shooters shooting with the basketball behind their head. It does take a while to the release back there. Probably. I forgot we talked about that. Yeah. I mean, that's a good comparison.

Yeah. I listened to your podcast and I, I, I feel for people that listen to our podcast because sometimes i'll disagree with you and want to like give my opinion to you like larry bird's amazing he's one of the best so anyway if you have feelings write them down in the comments on youtube or five star review on apple podcast timestamp on youtube so we can go back to it because sometimes we do get comments and they're a little out of context. It'll be like, oh, so that's what you guys meant. I'm like, gonna need a little context here.

That was what we meant, but what are you talking about? When, when, what, where, how? Anyway. Let's see. I'm trying to think of other things I saw on Instagram this week. There was a,

someone, I think, oh, it was, do you know who Mr. Beast is? Doesn't really matter. He's a big YouTuber. I absolutely do. I'm super cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of was, do you know who Mr. Beast is? Doesn't really matter. He's a big YouTuber. Okay. I absolutely do. I'm super cool.

So yeah, yeah, of course. I follow him on Instagram. He put up a picture of like, we just did a video eating the world's largest slice of pizza. Link in bio, go watch it. And then the like comment, you know, without any clicking on the comments, usually Instagram shows you one of like, you know, it's got a lot of likes or something, you know? Yeah.

Or like you're following that person. So'll show it exactly yeah so the the comment underneath was does pineapple belong on pizza no which was already already frustrating which we'll get into but the second thing that really took me by surprise i don't know why this is so funny the comment was from the instagram account the u.s navy no the actual like verified u.s navy okay tell me more but i have thoughts that's basically it i'm just like i was already frustrated because this pineapple on pizza thing is just talked about way too much and then we'll get back to u.s navy what are you doing here why do you have genuine beef and poultry with like um um, with these like official Instagram and Twitter accounts that try to be cool. Like you're not cool.

Like you're, you're like, like I remember for the longest time, like the Royals and the chiefs and stuff had Instagram accounts and they were like a little too staunch and boring and like whatever. But now it's like the opposite and they're trying way too hard. And it's just like, that is so dorky. What you just said. There is a balance. Like you can't put up a, like a gif of wit merrifield and say wit is getting lit today yeah exactly too far

oh boy don't do that yeah yeah i mean it's cool if you have like a cool picture and you yeah whatever solar power for jorge solar i don't know oh actually a good example did you see what the chiefs put up today it was a seven second video of my homes yeah right before he's bench pressing uh dumbbells and he's like hey can you photoshop these to look like 90s and then he just does a couple reps and they photoshop 90s on really you know quick easy and kind of funny say the chiefs do a good job the chiefs have a really good uh social media presence but like but on like yeah like like stop just just do your job stay in your lane like just post normal stuff i don't know i can't believe it just takes away from your brand 100 it makes it less professional and less like cool yeah yeah

less less likable not that yeah the navy isn't lame but when you like the navy's cool it has this uh notoriety this like nobility attached to it but when you start commenting on mr beast instagram what do you guys think pineapple on pizza oh my Also, we've got a seminar this Friday to potentially risk your life for America. We're considering going back to yeah, whatever. Vietnam and we need your help. I don't know. This is the

same company. Tell me about things. But okay, pineapple on pizza. Let's talk about this. Let's talk about how silly sorry, I almost said the other password. Let's talk about how silly it is to debate this so much. Why is it to talk about how silly sorry i almost said the other hatty um let's talk about how silly it is to debate this so much why is it get talked about so much if you like pineapple on pizza go for it that's fine if you like ranch on your ice cream put it on your ice cream we all have preferences with everything we do i don't care if you have it like that's fine i don't need your i don't need your opinion on this

if you like it eat it i yeah just i wish there was like a filter you know you can like filter out things right just like on twitter you can like i don't want to see any like trump or politics i don't want to see it i don't want to know that it exists don't bring up pineapple on pizza to me like like mustard on sandwiches what do we guys what do we think guys yeah i don't you like it screw you because i don't yeah whatever like i do not like what all the things you like now this is topical we all oh my gosh it is for whatever reason it's like so polarizing i guess yeah people seem to be upset about it i'm upset about people being upset about it yeah exactly because pizza is one of the things i mean we put more toppings on pizza than we do

almost any other food we eat it's not like seriously there's there's no wrong answers but like besides like sweet stuff on pizza probably yeah like even then i'll probably draw the godfathers has some great dessert pizza m&m with that like uh i never had m&m yeah that was pretty good that sounds nice i probably draw the line at nerd ropes, but anything on the left side nerd rope is fine. Yeah anything swaying past nerd Oh, yeah, the sour patch straws or whatever you said earlier. Those are probably not good either But yeah, like put pepperoni on there, but also put pulled pork. It all sounds good That's great macaroni cheese. If you like it do it to get it at toppers pineapple fine Great. Good luck. Oh oh my gosh i'm not

gonna eat it personally but if you want to eat that i don't care yeah so gosh we are a unified front when it comes to pineapple yes we are we're like the navy and that's oh okay mr beast he's the same one i saw recently he He did like some competition, like the finger competition or whatever. Yeah. Very cool. Yes. Like it was like whoever out of like, it was like a pool of like a hundred or a thousand people, whatever. I think it was only for Americans this first go around, but still like, I mean, millions competed, I think I had the same like for the same one. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I thought it was like subsets, like smaller. So anyway, but it was like, you had to keep your finger on the phone as long as you can.

Yeah. And people were like live streaming. Have you seen this video of when Siri? Yeah. And like there would be like count accounts that would like be called like something like, hey, Siri. And so they would like like so it would be like they're live streaming on Twitch. Yeah.

And some people have their Twitch set up to where if you get a donation, it'll read it out loud to you because typically Twitch is like if you're gaming, you don't want to look over at the screen to see like what this donation is. Yeah. So they have their donations auto read. Right. And some of them like just that's just how they also were just live streaming. Like they every time someone commented, they'd want to say like at Triple Jake.

Yeah, totally. Thank you. You know, whatever. So this guy was like at Hey Siri. And then like their, their phone would pop up and it would like disqualify them from this. And they've been holding their finger on this for like 18 hours straight. Yeah. And they lost because these people pranked them and it, it's not appropriate. They say some inappropriate language on silly

things, but my gosh, is it really funny to watch them get frustrated? So yeah. Anyway, if you're over 18, check it out. Yes. Um, NC 17, I would say. Okay.

NC 17, check it out. No, NC 17 is like, do not see if you're under 17, not see. That's what not see. Yeah. Not,

not see, not see 17. Yeah. It's like if you're, if you're German, well, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Mr. B, if you don't really understand german well yeah yeah yeah anyway yeah it's pretty cool mr b if you don't really understand what we're saying mr beast has he grew his channel by doing a lot of just like things of epic proportion of just like he gives a lot of stuff away right gives a ton of money away he like he read the dictionary for a video it was like an eight hour long video of him reading the dictionary really one time he made a video saying logan paul's name a hundred thousand times like he would do these crazy things because it's like it's catchy it's

like oh a guy did that and once he grew a following now he starts to do like more epic stuff but you know he'll be you know last one to you know leave this room wins a million dollars and they're just film it you know it's like crazy stuff like that and so that all led to yeah recent video of like he made his own app it was like super like you couldn't hack it with a robot you couldn't have you know a hot dog touch your phone it was like it had to be human finger longest person to keep your finger on what like 50 grand 100 grand or something a lot of money yeah he gives away mad amounts of cash it's all these teenagers that have nothing else to do with their day holding their finger on their phone and they all got so frustrated when they got beat yeah it was awesome it was so funny gosh so just put whatever you want on your pizza yeah yeah coming back to that

yeah oh man u.s navy jake i have a long story to tell you okay um it involves me moving some wood it's gonna be in four parts how about good um i think i think it's too long and i don't i don't trust my storytelling skills enough to captivate an audience for 20 minutes straight okay let's call it let's call it 17 minutes straight nc70 um that'll be the name of this episode people be like what oh no davante graham fell down he'll be fine i know his ex-girlfriend it's fine oh that's right yeah oh random fact hello um okay let me tell you the story so i'm gonna we're just gonna go parts four parts so chapter one so let's do one can you start off like an audiobook oh i have never listened to an audiobook me neither okay what's that ghostwriters book

club's coming out though that is i meant to talk to you about that that is a good idea that'd be fun we should do that okay um you should really do a book club you. Ghost Wars book club's coming out, though. I meant to talk to you about that. That is a good idea. That'd be fun. I think so, too. We should do that. Okay. You should really do a book club. You should really go to a book club.

It's got a lot of chapters. Yeah. A lot of chapters. What's the name of this story? I'll start it off. The story is called Using a Trailer to Hallwood. You are listening to Using a Trailer to Hallwood by Brad Ellis. Forward by Brad Ellis.

Chapter one, the beginning. They say the journeys that you take that are long are often the best journeys. Winston Churchill. Oh, I forgot. That was the forward. That was the forward. Chapter one. Chapter one, the beginning. All right. So, uh, basically the idea was, um, I'm hauling off this wood because our friend Peter's. What kind of wood? Does it matter? Yeah, it does. It's walnut, which is like the best wood. Yeah. So the bell of the wall. So Peter lives in the mustard seed, which is called this, this church.

Oh, Devante. He lives, he lives at the church youth house next door to the church. Yes. And they recently had a big old walnut tree fall down their backyard. Okay. And it's kind of an interesting story why it fell down because it wasn't even like a storm or anything, but I'm not going to go into that too much. Let's just say, be careful with how much mulch you put on your tree. Oh, didn't know like a storm or anything, but I'm not going to go into that too much. Let's just say, be careful with how much

mulch you put on your tree. Oh, didn't know that was a thing. Okay. I'm just going to leave it at that. It's not that interesting, but if you're a horticulture person, hit me up and I'll tell you more. I'll be in the footnotes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, so horticulture. Yeah. See reference a yeah, whatever. Um, so it fell down in the, like the church was just going to hire some people, like basically mulch it up and like, just get rid of it. Okay. And there's another guy at my church. His name's Jack.

Uh, Jack called me. He's like, basically like, it was almost like it was life or death for like this beautiful like child or something. He's like, Brad, I don't think we can, we can let this wood go to go to waste. You gotta, you gotta talk to him. They won't listen to me. Like there's, they're gonna, they're gonna mulch this thing, man. You know? And so I was like, no, we should definitely try to salvage this thing. I mean, he had, he has a chainsaw, so he cut up

into like pretty manageable pieces. Um, and he's like, okay, I have a trailer, but I don't have a hitch. So you can come get my trailer. We can, uh, pick it up Sunday morning. We can take it out to Lester's and, uh, have it, have it cut up there. And so I was like, great, sounds good. And he showed me like whenever I picked up the trailer, he showed me like this piece that was about this big. If you're looking on, if you're listening on Apple podcasts, it's about this big and you know, not very big, like 12, 12 inches, maybe wide. I would say a large eggplant.

Okay, sure. Or a small to medium watermelon. But it was like a two foot long piece he's like so imagine that but imagine like seven feet long like those things like it's really heavy and i was like i was holding this two foot long piece and i was like that's not heavy at all okay so i was like this will be easy to get this wood in this trailer next day well oh sorry first of all so so i pick up his trailer and i drive it home um i'm just gonna tell you right now at first i was like i'm not country enough to drive a trailer but then i realized i don't think it's a country versus city thing i think it's just a manly thing versus not

that manly of a thing okay uh have you ever backed up a trailer no neither had i yeah it's very tricky unbelievably it goes the opposite way of your truck. Yeah. So so he has the tiniest trailer you've ever seen. Like it could not be dinkier. I'm imagining a really small trailer. Is it even smaller than that? I think so. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, it's tiny. Oh, wow. A little Harbor Freight trailer. That's not going to hold all those watermelons. No, absolutely. And so I get it home and uh i try to back it in and

this thing is so tiny and there's no weight on it and so like i i knew that you were supposed to go the opposite way so i was kind of doing that and i was like oh this is going well and all of a sudden it like turned almost like parallel to my truck okay so like when the wake border goes really far and you're like oh he's further than the boat right how is he doing that um and so i struggled and my side street is still pretty busy, like cut through street. And so I got kind of nervous. Yeah.

People were watching me start sweating. Yeah. And so I was like, uh, I'm just going to go down a few streets down, uh, and turn around and kind of get some practice on a bigger, like small side street.

Okay. Um, so I do that and I'm in this small side street and I'm telling you, I could not get it to move. Like I was literally like holding the steering wheel completely still going back. And it was just completely going right angle every time. Oh, that sounds annoying. And so for whatever reason, this is the stupidest thing. Like I'm almost embarrassed to tell this story on the podcast because then for whatever reason, my thought process was, okay, maybe if I go and turn it around, this is a dead end of a street that I'm in.

Maybe if I just go and turn it around in somebody's driveway, then I can get back and I can just like have Catherine help me navigate it back in. And so I go into this driveway that looked like it was like the lights were all out of this house or whatever. I pulled into this driveway. I'm not going to exaggerate. I think it was 15 minutes. I don't want to say it was like 30 minutes or whatever, 15 minutes. And I cannot get out into this driveway i'm not gonna exaggerate i think it was 15 minutes i don't want to say it was like 30 minutes or whatever 15 minutes and i cannot get out of

this driveway dude wait but you've backed into it i've no i've i've gone in forwards and i'm trying to back in and every time i back up at all it's like it's doing the thing trailers going sideways so imagine you are in your your living room right now watching this person for whatever reason pulling into your driveway and just backing up this person for whatever reason pulling into your driveway and just backing up like five feet and then pulling forward and backing up and point it's like what is this guy doing he's on bath salts or some sort of student driver and it's like such a it's such a harmless looking trailer i cannot stress enough how puny this trailer was like like i probably could have just picked it up and carried it home like it was so bad

not really it wasn't that bad. But, um, and so finally it freaked me out first of all, but this neighbor guy came up and he's like, just all of a sudden, Hey, are you trying to move this trailer? Like you need some help. And I was like, thank you. Yes. And I swear he did it in three seconds. What did he do?

I, he literally just kind of just like barely shook it and just backed up. And so then I drive back to my house. Catherine's on the phone with me at this point. She's trying to help me navigate in. I never get it. Never. I never get it. I ended up parking across the street, like on a side street over there. Like, uh, and so dude, if Ford hears this, they're going to take your truck away from you. Exactly. Exactly. I was like, I was trying to like, uh, you know, bargain with myself. Like, it's okay, man. You're just not a sit. You're you're not a country boy and it's like no gunner is not a country boy either and gunner could absolutely do this it's not a country versus city it is a

you know how to do manly things you don't you know like i don't have a screwdriver either i don't know how to use that like i don't know like it was just so bad um so that's part one oh okay that's part one part one, okay. That's part one. Part one in the neighbor's driveway for 15 minutes until a good Samaritan comes up. Imagine that though. Imagine you're just like sweaty and you, you literally can't get out of this driveway.

No. Yeah. Like I felt like me in the shower. Yes. Kind of, but yours is way worse. Kind. Yeah.

I don't know if mine's way worse. Cause if you can't get out of the show, you could have literally gotten out, but okay. Part one. So that's it. Wow. The all new fan dual sports book andino is bringing you more action than ever.

Yeah, entered our first pickleball tournament, and we won, which is kind of funny. It was down in Branson, which is like 30, 45 minutes away from where my parents live. So my dad was like, can I come down and watch you? Oh, I didn't know this. My dad was like, I don't know if I should. That's got to be so weird. If I'm just there watching you, he's like, I'm going to bring my paddle my paddle so it looks like I'm there just kind of like warming up there once in a while and that's what I was like I told him I was like I think you don't bring a paddle I think you find

like a college visor at a thrift store you bring a clipboard yes and then like a stopwatch and a radar gun yeah and then like radar gun yeah whoo whoo you're like showing people around you look at that yeah you're yeah 34 look at that hey that's in that's in miles that's not kilometers hey carl check this guy out yeah that's in miles that's not that's not kilometer that's mph yeah oh that's awesome yeah i just act like he's scouting for college did they have seats for him to sit at and like watch they have bleachers yeah it was very normal there were a lot of people there watching so it was fine um i would have loved it if he was like super into it, though. Like just screaming for you every point.

Oh, no, not that's not the triplet way. No. Yeah, I very much blended in. He made a lot of friends. Yeah, made a lot of friends. And he had said like people would be like talking to him about us. Like, who are these guys? Like, I don't know.

Oh, yeah. I didn't even give into them. Classic. That's awesome. It was fun. Our very first game of the day you know it's like wow never done a turn before oh i gotta sneeze do it i'm gonna try yeah i sneezed uh we'll edit that out i don't want people to know i'm sneezing let's bleep it

out like what happened there um when we bleep just just a disclaimer when we we bleep things out, we're never actually cussing. Okay? For the record. Just want to put that out there. Yeah. We're just saying the name of the streets that my parents are on. Probably. First team we play.

It's a little intimidating because one, they are wearing the same color shirt. Oh, okay. Okay. Two, the main thing. Three different people. No exaggeration. Three different people are filming them Like pull out their phones one guys got a camera to film them play. Oh, that is intimidating

What's who are these guys? Robbie on the dolls cuz yeah, they're like different angles and stuff are you get the tight shots? I'll be up at the kitchen right the serve in the back. I'm like oh my gosh There's a news reporter back there like yeah, yeah I think only two started filming and then after a couple points a third guy pulls up his phone my god here We go, and then Steve's out there. Yeah, hey come on. You're seeing this The third guy pulls up his phone to record and he's right behind them It's like right where they're serving, but he's got his flash on no Now this is like yeah camera gate, so yeah like three points in I'm having like pause like hey

Can you turn your flash off oh nice um so if you have that video footage of jake you know get out of this guy let us know um anyway ain't beating those guys and they didn't lose or they didn't win a game all day really synchronized shirts and three videographers zero wins that's what they get oh i was like a borderline embarrassed for them. Two good shirts, three good cameras, zero good dubs. I like it. Like, did these people come to watch you? Were they really good? I mean, were they okay?

Like, yeah, they weren't bad. Like they were competitive. They just weren't good enough. One of the guys came in third and singles the day before I saw. Oh, really? But yeah, once the cameras are on them, they just couldn't. Yeah. Couldn't come through.

Well, it's kind of intimidating, too, because you were the ones like watching these people like film yeah right like they had their backs to the film yeah they didn't they didn't know we had a father we played against a father son duo kid's name was axel oh sure gen z yeah for sure that made sense axel that's probably the guy that dad was probably a huge uh guns and roses fan axel rose sure his name was rose yeah oh there you go yeah um they were from san antonio that was a sweet child of mine there you go nice now san antonio they came up for the tournament long ways man there's no pickleball in texas apparently i get you would think yeah one other thing about this pickleball tournament and this will be the last thing i say about it uh they had

a special guest there i did not know there's a special guest strafford's own oh yeah steven triplet are here yeah no but we get um you know we went first we go over to like get our medals and like let's take your picture in front of the banner so they get first second third and then like and one with tyson like tyson it's a make-a-wish thing go ahead like he looks healthy i don't know yeah tyson comes in between is between Isaac and I just stands there. We take a picture with him. He's like, all right, thanks guys. Tyson apparently wants survivor and he's the big special guest.

Yeah. I saw this. I had no idea. I saw that picture that you posted on your Instagram story, uh, triple Jake. And, uh, I honestly, like, I know this is like a played out joke or whatever, but he looked like the Branson version of Joe exotic. Like he really did. Like he, he didn't look Branson version of Joe Exotic. Like he really did. Like he, he didn't look like the guy that would win Survivor. Like, yeah.

But then again, I've never watched Survivor, so I don't know. It was just, I love the idea of them thinking up like this pickleball tournament, like, ah, what do we need? It doesn't have that extra, extra pizzazz. You know what we could do? I mean, the ball numbers are out of town, so that's a bummer. We can't get them. That's the funny thing is there's so many celebrities already in Branson that you could

have gotten so many local people for free probably. They come in the next week. We got him. We got him. I was in touch with Tyson's people, and we got him. He's going to be there. No way. Tyson Chandler?

No, no, no. Tyson McGuffin? You would think. You would think. Yeah, that would be huge. Tyson. What's his last name? From season nine? I don't know. Tyson McGuffin? You would think. You would think. Yeah, that would be huge. Tyson. What's his last name? From season nine?

I don't know. Season nine Tyson? Yeah. Kind of like on the bats with like Jessica S. Or whatever. Yeah. Season Nineson.

That's what they call him. But. That's hilarious. Oh, that reminds me. Oh, maybe I shouldn't have harped on the people playing the pickleball tour too much.

The. Crap. I think his name was Robert. His parents put on the tournament, but he listens to the podcast i just remembered no no no no own it baby robert think of somebody better yak off baby i'm 70 sure his name's robert um it was that's that's not that much it was right after we took the picture with tyson and he was like jake i'll see your podcast i was like you say that a little louder for tyson Yeah. Yeah. I want him to hear it. Come on. Uh, okay. One last thing about Tyson. Sorry. Then we'll get to chapter two. No, that's great. Um, Tyson

walks by earlier in my dad who it's funny now him and my parent, him and my mom love survivor. He goes, that guy looks familiar. And I didn't even think much of it. I was like, yeah, he looks like every worship leader I've ever seen is what I said to him right then. Right it. I was like, yeah, he looks like every worship leader I've ever seen. It's what I said to him right then. Right. And he was like, no, I don't know. And we didn't think about it much. And then later I tell my dad, I'm like, oh, I know why he looked familiar to you. He's on Survivor. And he's like, no, he's not.

No, you're wrong. And then Isaac's trying to help me out. He's like, no, no, no. Like they brought in a special guest. That's Tyson. Yeah. He's like, I mean, it does look like him, but I mean, that's not him. Like, I don't know how to prove it to you.

So then I find like an Instagram post where it says our special guest is going to beyson i show it to my dad he's like oh yeah yeah okay and then like a few minutes later we're talking to he's like i mean so that's so who is that guy though like no like he's not he's not accepting it it was the hardest thing to convince him and then uh then i i think he believes me now but i'm not even totally sure. My favorite twist of the story is that it really wasn't Tyson. And my dad knew all along. And they were just faking this like very like F list celebrity. Uh, but Steve knows Steve's a big enough fan of survivor that he could spot the fake. No, he has a scar from when he was on season 11. He got his right bicep, but it wasn't there. Right. He did an alliance and there was a blood pack.

So he should have something. Yeah. Some scar. That's funny. Chapter two with Brad Ellis. Okay. Chapter two. Oh, go ahead.

The, what's chapter two called? The nightmare in daytime. Oh, I like it. Oh, thanks. Okay. It's tough when you don't know what the story is about.

Yeah. So this was post church that we were going to load up the wood. PC, PC 17. And so the plan was to load up the wood and take it to Platte city, which is 45 minutes away. Also PC. Tiger has a song about it. Platte city.

Platte city. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So drive it to Platte city, drop it off at Lester's sawmill. And so, like I said, he said these were two foot. Like he showed me this version and said it's seven feet of that. And I know that like when you first cut down, like freshly cut wood is really, really total.

Like the entire tree is seven feet long. No, I'm sorry. He had four logs of seven. OK, OK, OK. But still, I was like, oh, great. Like Jack and I could probably lift that by ourselves, it's right after church so i'm gonna recruit peter or maybe gun might as well yeah we got plenty of plenty of bodies uh matt ford big old strapping man yeah um you know so didn't end up getting any of those guys first of all i don't know they just

left they caught wind of some manual labor and they're like hey we're gonna dip out before the benediction today so we go over there to where the wood is and not not as small as he was expecting he was telling me um i would say i don't know 14 18 inches wide like pretty thick like pretty big trees we're in the area of record-setting watermelon it seems like now absolutely yeah these are not this has gone from like the watermelon size to like you know like the um creatively named uh pizza sizes at like you know a local pizza shop the gigantor yeah exactly like if you can eat it you get it for free this is yeah this is the incrediboss i'll take it to crediboss i hate that i hate that name like it's almost it's almost a normal word for like pretty cool but it's like just a hyper I'll take it to credit boss. I hate that. I hate that name. Like it's almost, it's almost a normal word for like pretty cool, but it's like just a hyper masculine.

Yeah. Something about that. Just, I don't like it. Yeah. Credit boss. What's up? I'll take it to credit boss to go. Credit boss for the incredible boys.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tyson's waiting at home for us, baby. Um, so anyway, me and jack and these things are so heavy like literally it wasn't like i could all i could lift it up a little bit it was like i tried to lift it and i could not even budget like a thorus hammer thing like i don't

have this unlocked right like there's this is excalibur or something like this i don't know so we tuned into a lot of our uh science like science, like elementary school science, get a fulcrum a hundred. We use so many fulcrums. We use ramps, uh, cause we could not lift this thing literally. So we rolled this, rolled this wood up the ramp to like, to fall into the trailer basically. Okay. Um, and after we put in one, we realized, oh crap, only two of these are going to fit

on this dinky trailer at a time. So we're gonna have to take two trips. At this point, I was literally thinking like before we went there, like, uh, like right before we moved it, right before I saw how big these pieces of wood were, I thought we were going to literally take five minutes to put these things on here. Yeah. And then I was going to go to lunch. Like Peter was going to take me to lunch. We were, all my friends were meeting, uh, for lunch. And, uh, then I was going to come back and drive up to plastic by myself and drop these things off quickly realized like no way can I move these 1000 pound logs by myself.

And then depending on how I parked, if I have to back up a hundred percent, a hundred percent, no, just wait. Am I skipping ahead to chapter three? No, no, no. This is still a chapter. So anyway, so the plan was, okay, great. Um, let's take these two logs. It's going to be a long day, but let's 45 minutes up there. Jack came with me and then we'll come back and we'll get the other two logs. We'll bring them up there. Be good. So we take the first two logs up to Platte City.

It's a heck of a time getting them off the trailer. They almost like rolled into a ditch at one point at Lester's. Lester's is a very country area of Platte. It's not Platte City. It's just plat city address basically like okay there's a ditch city a lot of ditches there's a skydiving place like right by where he is so it's like if you could skydive down in this area there's not much else going i saw the girls who invited me to do the uh love is blind instagram thing they went

skydiving there this week so on instagram plat city yeah perfect yeah same place right you could wave to lester so we drop off this stuff but usually lester's got like a big lot and i was like oh we'll be able to turn it around or whatever lester was not open on sunday so he's like yeah you can just drop it off graze on sunday yeah that's my lester bay nice and so uh so we drop off these things but it's like on a country highway that where Lester is. And so it's decently busy still, even though it's in the middle of nowhere. And so I'm like, I can't, I can't back out of this place. And Jack's like, well, you could probably just keep going up there and we could turn around somewhere. Right. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we go up, we're about a mile up the road in

the wrong direction. And Jack's on his google phone google pixel if you will and he's like it looks like you can just turn here it's like a country road but i think we'll be able to turn around on it yeah exactly and so we turn in please don't please stop please clap um so we turn into this rural rural road yeah say that sing that um and immediately there's a sign that says no trespassing oh which i didn't even think about that but there's a sign that says like no trespassing and jack's like well it looks like this is a pretty short road just just go if anything we'll just tell them we're lost city boys or whatever to the place i belong yep yep keep going okay and so i just have anxiety that you're just gonna interrupt me with this song i do not enjoy it um so as we're driving we're

literally like in a in a tunnel like there's corn like six seven feet tall corn on both sides of us and i'm like where the heck are we jack he's like no no you just keep going it should go just a little bit farther the road like first of all it was like it was gravel road and then all of a sudden there's no road it just it jack's like and there's like a little bit of a path but like that's just for like a wheelbarrow or something 100 like this isn't for a car like jack but we can't turn around like we don't have any ability to turn around. I mean,

is it possible for him? Like you reverse and he's like got his hands on the trailer and like, it's, it's heavier. It's heavier than it looks. Cause that's what I thought with, with Catherine that one night I was like, I'll just manhandle this thing while you,

and I tried to lift it and I could, I could budget a little bit. It was no, it was no Sunday morning log, but it was still too heavy. Um, and so West Virginia, I'm done, but you're not. And so I know that I know that there's like, there's more to the song.

And so I know that there's still possible. It's stressing me out, Jake. Um, so we're just driving on this road and I mean, I can't, I can't explain to you just how crazy this, like just how off-roading we are. You're surrounded by corn. Surrounded by corn. And then all of a sudden we're like driving past a small farmer's house. And like, finally we find the road back and we start driving back and that's the end of part two. Okay.

The nightmare in the daytime. Wow. Uh, Brad, something we haven't done in a while. uh brad something we haven't done in a while well two things we haven't done in a while we could do a quick blank of the week or we can do mediocre life update let's do mediocre life updates i got i got some of those okay i have a few as well um i think i'm gonna join a volleyball league a sand volleyball league oh that's fun i was at the park the other day with my family and there were some people playing and i thought that looks fun yeah i think it will be cool yeah that's one of mine one of mine uh i got in the shower the other day and i still had my glasses on imagine that that's kind

of funny yeah okay it'd be like it'd be like wearing a hat in the shower like almost the equivalent like imagine that that's the grit that's the best tag at the end of it there's got like sopping hair and there's my focals can you imagine can you imagine that's what it was yep that's mine your turn okay um i've got a new roommate at least for a week or two we don't know steven the guy who saw the poop mice or poop mouse uh poop mouse, but haven't seen a mouse since he saw it while pooping. Maybe that's his mission is to get it back and to get it out of here. Yeah, maybe. I like it.

He's like, I just can't live with myself knowing that this thing's still on the loose. He's like, let me come back. Yeah, one of Greg's friends is staying with us. Justice never rests. So that's an update. We got more boys in the house this week. I watched the first few episodes of the new season of last chance you okay and it's different because the coach is not as crazy trey was telling me this today

it's a little more wholesome yeah which is like nice but also not as dramatic which is not as entertaining um but it's interesting they live in california it's a california-based one this year and uh like they can't have they can't have housing on campus and they don't provide food for them. And so these guys are like working like a full-time, like working a lot of jobs. And then, and then also Oakland is becoming gentrified and like all the houses are a lot more expensive now. And so these guys are sometimes living like hour, two hours away from school. Oh, geez. So that's kind of an interesting different facet compared to like rural Mississippi, rural Kansas. Now you got this in the city of Oakland, basically. And I also learned that I've seen on like Golden State Warriors. Oh, yeah. The town. I didn't realize

like Oakland is called the town. San Francisco is called the city. Oh, I didn't know that. That's kind of cool. The town's way cooler sounding than the city, I think. There's a little more pride there. But I feel bad for Oakland because they just lost the Raiders and they just lost the Warriors to San Francisco. And they're not proud of the A's and they won't let people in their stadium when they're there for five-hour energy. Oh, that's right. Yes, exactly.

I think I'm... Oh, California. Speaking of, I think I'm going to Yosemite for Labor Day. Oh. Probably going to book some flights tonight, actually. I'm embarrassed to say I did not know Yosemite for Labor Day. I'm probably going to book some flights tonight, actually. I'm embarrassed to say I did not know Yosemite was in California. Yosemite. You go to Yosemite. Me-semiti.

National parks, tell them. Yeah, I've never been to it. Where in California is it? It's somewhere centrally located. Is it? Yeah, not like Northern California like not even even as north as like Sacramento I don't think but somewhere like inland and central cool. I think so when you going Labor Day weekend. Oh cool

Yeah, heck. Yeah, are you going by yourself? I don't think so Gathering some people recruiting yeah, love it Thanks for the invite. I'm really excited to go with yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, you wear a hat now, so you've changed. You went in the shower with your glasses on. Imagine that. I'm considering, this is like so first world problems, like champagne problems. I'm considering changing the horn on my truck. Oh, it does suck.

It's the worst. Like imagine like a pretty manly truck, even though I can't drive a trailer very well. And then think about the worst horn. Like, the horn belongs on, like, a VW Bug. Or, like, a scooter. Yes, dude. Beep. Brrp.

Brrp. And I love, I love using my horn to, like, jokingly, like, not jokingly, but, like, friendly drive, drive away. Brrp. Brrp. Brrp. And it's just so embarrassing right now people laugh yes genuinely i've seen them i i think it's 150 to upgrade it okay and i don't i i think it might

be i think it might be worth it it's so extremely cosmetic you know a hundred percent there's yeah horns are supposed to be just like completely for function but i like using mine train i made a video today called first world problems we did not throw the horn in there i wish i would have known i'm the only person that might have that problem but considering upgrade maybe i'll get one of the old school like or get one of those like a foghorn ones that like yeah make your hair move titanic is like like all aboard. That would be cool.

Iceberg, straight ahead. I don't know. Chipotle is selling merch. They always have. Oh? I don't know if they always have. Going back to last week where I said I was cool way before my time, my sisters also taught me about Chipotle when I was young.

And one year for my birthday, they got me a shirt that said hardcore rap on the front. I think on the back, like WRIP, on the back it said foil shizzle. Oh, wow. It was pretty cool. That's nice. Okay. But what's the merch now? Well, Greg was telling me, roommate Greg, shout out Greg, Julie Davis.

He was saying that he got an email cause he's part of some club. There was like, Hey, are like, if you Google Chipotle apparel right now, nothing comes up. But if you go to Chipotle goods.com and put in this like pat, it's like password protected. Then you get access to the website.

That is pretty sweet. What is it? Like, like, I mean, it's just like, it's like apparel. Like,

I mean like they have like a, like a thermally insulated lunch box, but it's like a brown paper bag. Oh, and they have a lot of stuff. It's like Chipotle theme. Like they have a like a pocketbook, but it's in foil. It looks like it's foil. They got really into like extra, you know, like guac is extra. Queso is extra.

They have shirts that say extra on it or like a little side zipper on like a long-sleeve shirt That says it's okay to be extra and you feel like they're actually like Chipotle branded thing like they have the word Chipotle on them Yeah, yeah, it's not just like Chipotle themed stuff. Yeah, it's nice. Oh, that's cool. I'm gonna get some I think yeah I really like Chipotle. Yeah, awesome. Okay. I went back to micro center to get my computer Oh, I can't stress enough how crazy this place is so I went back to Micro Center to get my computer. Oh. I can't stress enough how crazy this place is. So I counted. I was in line waiting for my computer.

I counted how many people came through the door in six minutes. I was there for six minutes waiting to pick up my computer. 43 people. They're moving some products. Think about that. You go to a supermarket, I don't think 43 people in six minutes. Maybe, maybe. That is crazy.

Six minutes is not very long. And you know what? I bought that other computer last week at Best Buy. I bet there were seven people that came through the door in 15 minutes. Wait, hold on. 43 people in six minutes. Think about that. 400 an hour.

They're open for 10 hours a day. 4,000 patrons. it's crazy it it genuinely was like like i remember when it passed 20 people when i was counting i was like i cannot wait to tell people on the podcast that 20 people came in in this like because it's an electronic store yeah it's a radio shack it's totally something you can buy online like oh yeah it's it's absolutely replaceable by anything else yeah it is literally radio shack but somehow radio shack tanked and they're just killing it and the thing about electronics you know exactly what you need you don't go into micro center like huh what should i get it's like i need a i need a usbc to a usb a cord right i'm not browsing i will say

that maybe micro center it has a little bit of a deeper cut of like nerdy techie people that seem like they're coming in there. You could still get anything online, but yeah, totally. Oh yeah. What's it called? The new egg.com or whatever. Oh yeah. You go to new egg. So anyway, 43 people. It's just crazy that, that, and you had your glasses on in the shower. That was crazy to me. I've never done that that i've never done that in all my years oh that's funny no that is a lot good for a micro center um okay i only have one more mediocre life update okay me too i feel like maybe a month or so ago in an episode i said brad i think i'm ready i want to get a girlfriend i've i've changed my mind i do not want a

girlfriend anymore why i was thinking about it it about it I really love my life as it is It's awesome I love it If there was a girlfriend I would have to give something up And right now It's great I'm not going to change your mind

You can count her What if you really like this girl And they just make your life better? You think that could happen? I think that's exactly what usually happens. Oh my gosh. Well, that's a good point.

Cause then all these things that you like all of a sudden, like pickleball, it doesn't slap the same way, you know? Like, yeah, that spike doesn't feel the same way as like, you know, something about, yeah, the strong forehand doesn't feel as good as the soft touch. Exactly. Oh yeah. The dichotomy of life, the arm around her feels better than going around the post, right? The stronghold that you have on the pickleball. The score used to be seven, three, but I'm an Enneagram seven. She's an Enneagram three. Oh life. It's so poetic. That's nice. That's a slam pole right there slam po for my slam boo slam bow slam bow um yeah so well now i don't know my mediocre life update is maybe i do some girl right now was like

just devastated and now you got hope again you brought her back to life yes okay oh god oh man just don't dm me and say pineapple on pizza because i've gotten that before and i did not reply that's funny um have you really oh yeah that's like the the conversation starter oh absolutely oh that's awesome yeah i hope people send you that now just to make you man now it's more yeah it's like ironic right yeah it's an inside joke um i haven't i have two but i'm not gonna say one of them because you're just gonna make fun of me for it so uh and my glasses on in the in the back of the truck i never do that i fell asleep with my glasses on and my contacts and glasses in at the same time um today i rented oh this is getting ahead of myself never mind uh i was at u for some reason. And, uh, I was standing there for about

three minutes while the person, like the register person was on the other side of the room and I wanted to clear my throat to get her attention. Okay. But Corona virus problems can't cause I feel a little self-conceited. Like, like that might almost make her not want to come up if I'm like, yeah, Whoa, where's this guy? I don't want to come near him.'m like yeah whoa who's this guy i don't want to come near him you think you could make my face shield like the the ding sound of a bell with your mouth so perfectly that she's like oh i guess we have a bell i guess we got a bell now i guess robbie must have put in a bell or maybe i'll just take my old horn and bring it with me everywhere it's so high pitch customer ready maybe i'll put that on the patreon this week my horn oh that would be fun yeah just

or maybe i'll do like three different examples like a blind test which one is brad's horn yeah we have like a yeah yours isaac's and mine or i mean like a scooter a mini coupe and your truck i'm like sure that's not your truck and there's no way one of these is your truck which one of these is four four by four which one of these? Yeah, it's a 500cc. Yeah. Anyway. Chapter three by Brad Ellis. Okay. The fulcrum who lost his way.

So we got out of... Nice. I don't know. We got out of the country highway, crazy farm road. We're driving back, just having normal, easy conversation, going for round two of picking up these wood. And at this point, I'm like, this is kind of a sucky Sunday afternoon. i was thinking i was going to be able to have a little more relaxing time but whatever i'm over it this is what life is and you had pickleball at

eight and i had pickleball at eight which i was like i'm not gonna i don't know like it's it's like two o'clock right now i haven't seen the kids at all katherine's gonna you know think maybe i should stay home with you know do more stuff with her and the family. And you can't miss last night was great. The full crew is there with eight people. I'm so glad I went. Oh, it's awesome. I'm so honestly, you said it last night. You're like, I just want to say guys that it's really cool.

You guys are here, even though you're married. And I said exactly this. What did I say? You remember? I said, it would be really great if you could tell our wives that. Yes. No, no. Or no.

I said, I don't know if I said that. Okay. Sorry. I said, you should tell our wives that. said that okay sorry i said you should tell our wives that i guess maybe i said you you should tell our wives that but i meant it more in the sense of like uh like you need to give them the credit for why we're here oh like like the fact that especially kevin and i with kids like it's a sacrifice for us to not be there and for them to do yeah so isaac and i were watching and i was just i was watching four married guys play pickleball at like 10 o'clock.

Yeah. I was like, this is awesome. Heck yeah. It was so fun. I was telling Trey about how fun it was last night. I was like,

Brad and Connor were on a team last night. Yeah. It was just hilarious. Connor, look at you. Brad, are you locked in right now?

Sorry, Connor. Sorry. Sorry, dude. And then he serves it in the net. Oh yeah. I'm like,

oh dude. Made 15 mistakes in a row. I thought you were locked in. I'm not locked in. We should record those. We need to do that for Patreon. Connor, join us next week. We should record those. We need to do that for the Patreon. Connor, join us next week. We're missing it. We need some FaceTime from you.

So anyway, driving back for round two, just having a normal conversation and all of a sudden this guy passes me and looks at me and just kind of points kind of frantically, like points. And I learned... PowerPoint. Yes. PowerPoint. I didn't know how to even attach a a trailer really before this i learned that you also well no that's that's

not i didn't mess up but but i learned that when you attach a trailer you also attach like chains as a backup in case like the ball hitch falls off okay you got the chains so i was like maybe the ball hitch fell off and the chains are just dragging right now and jack looks over at his side mirror and he's like oh no i see sparks get over get over okay and so we had a flat tire but it was so badly flat that like the rim of the hub whatever i guess just the rim like i bet it was one third just completely gone oh of like the wheel yeah it was like it looked it would look like somebody just like welded it off oh my gosh yeah this is a saga yes it yes absolutely it is what highway are you on uh 435 so like one of the three busiest highways in kansas girthy yeah right by legends basically yeah we got four lanes in kansas so uh i was like jack i got triple a shout out to my grandma gives

me triple a every single year so i was like i'll call or he's like i got triple a shout out to my grandma gives me triple a every single year. So I was like, I'll call her. He's like, I got triple A too. So he calls triple a you're like, well, I've had it for four years. Well, I've had a fair 16. Um, uh, so anyway, he calls triple a they're like, okay, great. We'll bring somebody out. That is nice that you both have it. Oh, it's awesome. That's six A's that's yeah. That's a sex day. Yeah. I didn't want to say it. Sex day. I'm bringing sex day back. Uh, yeah, it is, but that's what it is. Okay. Okay. Um, I didn't want to say it. Sex day. I'm bringing sex day back. Yeah, it is. But that's what it is. Okay. Okay.

I got stories about that that aren't inappropriate, but just staying on track. Chapter three. Chapter three. So we're on the side of the highway. Call AAA. They say, great, we'll be there in a little bit. And then the towing company calls us. Hey, we got one job in front of you and then we'll be there.

This has been like 30 minutes since we called AAA. Hour and a half. Oh, that's three times as much. Absolutely. Still not there. And so we call AAA. AAA is like...

And this is just you and Jack hanging out? Yeah. How close are we with Jack? Scale of one to 10, you want to say? Sure. Two. I would say maybe a three. We see each other every Sundayay he runs uh sound and

graphics for us a lot of times he's a nice guy he his wife works at the church wendy's yeah yeah yeah so um but yeah not not super close we share woodworking uh interests but i don't know if we are really like super compatible beyond that okay um. And so, yeah, eventually it was like, I want to take a nap and Jack is talking to me right now. Hour and a half. And then we call triple A and triple A is like, like the automated message says it's going to be ready at whatever 303. And it's like two 56.

So we're like, okay, great. We'll wait seven more minutes. Still not there. The tow company calls us or maybe we, yeah, no tow company calls us and they're like,

Hey, sorry, we had another job that was like an emergency that we had to go to. there the tow company calls us or maybe we yeah no the tow company calls us they're like hey sorry we had another job that was like an emergency that we had to go to do you still want us to come out to you and i'm like i'm glad you asked because it fixed itself yeah what what did you expect us that what we did and at this point for whatever reason jack sunk cost fallacy was just like no i don't want you to come out oh and so jack just pulls an audible oh yeah that's a pretty handy guy that's a hot route uh he's like we're just gonna disconnect this trailer and we're gonna go to walmart and we're gonna get it ourselves

um we're gonna get the tire replacement we're just gonna change it ourselves sure jack whatever you say man oh wow so we go to the first of all walmart's not a great place. Yeah. Walmart's not a great place. Really anywhere you go, the Kansas City, Kansas legends, Walmart, just, just prize people. Two out of 10. Yeah. Two out of 10. Absolutely. Get our wheels and everything.

Come back, change the tire. He's like, okay, just go ahead and move forward a little bit. I move forward and the tire is just like scraping on the ground. Like it's not turning. Yeah. And so after all that, after all the waiting, after all the AAA, we finally decide to just freaking muster it up and just lift it.

Both of us together and just put it in our tailgate and take it home. And he's like, I think the bearings are messed up or something to make it. So it's not turning. So I'm going to try to fix it tonight and we can get the other two tomorrow. So chapter three, we got home and then chapter three. Okay.

Let's go now to quick blank of the week. Text of the week. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We each have one. My text is real short and sweet. It was Saturday morning. Or no, late Friday night.

A friend texted me. I mean mean we were like having a conversation but her last question before i fell asleep was how do you feel about brussels sprouts i wake up early saturday morning um for my pickleball tournament like 6 30 a.m and i guess a little out of it i think i woke up and then kind of went back to sleep and i said i mind. Oh, so this is the text of the week. I don't mind Brussels sprouts as long as they don't get too cocky. What does that mean? I get a text later that

day. I completely forgotten about it. She has a text back till 1 p.m. She's like, what do you mean by cocky Brussels sprouts? And I'm like, what is she talking about? And then I look, I'm like, what am I talking about? What did I? What time was it that you sent this? 630 a.m. Okay.

I don't know what that means. I sent that. Didn't even remember it. I don't mind Brussels sprouts as long as they don't get too cocky. And she was like, no, seriously, what do you mean? I'm like, no, no. I swear, I don't know what I meant. She's like, no, I can kind of see it.

Like, like if they don't, you know, she was trying to make sense of this thing you're like no no I could not emphasize enough like I don't know what a cocky brussels sprout is I probably typed the wrong thing but it was funny to me organic butter on there yeah yeah like he thought it was funny yeah put some humble salt on that thing you know don't get too cocky oh that's great so yeah I just never really done that before um just, yeah, just not remembering something I texted like that, but thought it was funny. Text of the week. My text of the week comes out of context from Steve Triplett himself. And the text is, what if I'm not real crazy about my children? Then what do I do?

The story was basically, well, you want to tell it? No, no, no. I was going to tell them just guess okay yeah just just see what you think about that comment below it's a time stamp uh we're talking about an investment opportunity that i have i have a great idea for an investment i'm not telling you guys because i'm gonna do it myself take it and be a billionaire um and try to try to get steve in on it and he's not buying it and i said think about your kids your grandkids what if i'm not real crazy about my children then then what do I do? So that's, that's somewhat

of the content. He said, what about your grandkids? And he's like, we both know that's not going to happen. I said, do it for your grandchildren. You and I both know that will never happen. Cause he knew, he knew I'm in the phase of no girlfriend right now. Yeah. He can tell everything's good. Everything's good and cocky. Uh, one last thing before we go back to chapter four, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who bought t-shirts a lot of people bought them and we didn't know if people would or not our first merch drop ever uh you should get them sometime this week hopefully uh so just wanted to say thank you for buying them and we hope to drop some additional merchandise sometime in the future

yeah please post if you're wearing them yeah that is gonna be cool when people get them in the mail what's what's the most crazy place you're wearing your shirt at? Ooh, Cracker Barrel. Can you plank with your shirt? Remember when planking was like the thing? 2011. Yeah. Yeah.

Great times. Chapter four. Chapter four. So. Oh, hold on. They need to know the title of it. You're right. That's the best part.

Chapter four. Jack O'Lantern. Oh, I like it. Talk about some fulcrums. Um, so today, so, so he texted me last night and he says, I can't figure out my, uh, trailer. Just let's just rent one from U-Haul. So'm at U-Haul that's when I couldn't cough because I was you know getting a new trailer so I get this new trailer the old puny trailer didn't really have rails on the side so it was easy to use our ramp and just roll it up there okay this new trailer it's got rails yeah pretty small but still probably like four feet tall maybe five feet even rails and so no way of ramping these bad boys up. And we saved one of the big, we saved the biggest one for this one, the biggest one, and then one of the smaller ones. Um, and so, man, we just brainstormed like crazy how to get this thing into the trailer. Um, and so finally our idea was that we were going to wrap it in a chain and then we were going to

connect it to, uh, my truck and just literally yank it up, yank it into the thing. But if the chain snaps, we're just nervous that it's going to hurt somebody. So Jack's standing really far away as we're doing this thing. We had to go to three different hardware stores to actually get the chains. That's so incredibly annoying. Yes, 100% annoying. It's one of those things where it's like, if you just have the right tools,

then you can do something so much better. At this point, Peter Casey, the homeowner of, homeowner, liver of the house, homeowner of this house, homeowner of that house. Liver of the other one. Liver or kidney, something of that house. Yeah, he's the heart of this house, liver of that house. And he's with us.

Honestly, Peter was a a life like just a blessing like a guardian angel the brain and the heart then really seriously he helped us but it was really cool like we we did get these things we used these chains to like manhandle these things into the trailer it probably took us like four hours to finally get them in and this is still yesterday this is so this is this morning this is this this oh my gosh yeah i met i met him up i had to go get the trailer like 7 30 met him at 8 30 um yeah i didn't i didn't get home super early last night either so i'm kind of running on fumes right now uh but finally got him in there um it's not super crazy long story or anything like that but finally got him in there drove went reverse, got out of there in reverse.

Awesome. Yeah. I felt really good about that out of the church backyard and then drove it up to Platte city, met with Lester. Lester was there today. Okay. And literally I bet Lester took them, them off the trailer in 30 seconds. Like it was amazing.

He was a forklift and like these, like, like, I don't know even what they're called. Like they're like these, I don't even know how to describe them it's like this big thing if you're if you're watching on youtube and it's got like these claws on both like what you used to eat corn on the cob with uh no bigger like i'm trying to think like there probably is like in it kind of like the thing that you would get like the the claw the claw machine but but the claw usually has like four of those things this is like two of them and you do it on a fork i've seen this i've seen this yeah you would you would recognize if you've seen it i'm sure there's a technical name out there for it uh two prong claw but he just he just like put like we just put the things put those claws into the wood and he just yanked him out of there that's

awesome it was awesome so finally got the no flat tire this time finally Finally, you were like Dwight when the fire truck shows up and you're just like, yeah, yeah. I got some theories. Yeah, no, it was just like I will never watch somebody drive a trailer the same again. And I will never I will never not be impressed when somebody backs in the trailer first try.

So what is the like the final? Like, are you going to make some money off this harvested? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I bet I bet if I bought this wood that I think it's probably going to cost me three or four hundred dollars for him to harvest it. And it's going to take like a year to dry, which is kind of the sucky thing. What?

It should take like three, but he's got a kiln. And so it's going to dry a little bit quicker. I did not know wood was so wet or like a tree was wet. Right. And that's the crazy thing. That's what makes like you look at this log and it's like there's no way it's that wet or that heavy because like firewood that's dried up is not that heavy. Once it's dry, it's not as heavy, but like wet wood is obviously much heavier. How do you

dry out a tree? Um, you just let it dry. Like, what do you mean? Oh, I don't know if there was like a process or just let it sit. Well, yeah, there's a process. So you, if you cut it up into pieces, you have to get, uh, they call call them stickers but really it's just like pieces of wood in between each piece so that the air can uh come on the bottom and the top so it doesn't warp it it's like uh you know if you need to warm up a big old chicken breast in the microwave probably cut it up so it heats it all sure yeah more centrally evenly yeah air is coming on the bottom and the top anyway uh or if you just have a big log you just let it let it dry but you have to let like the thicker it is the longer it takes to dry so anyway um but i bet i'm gonna spend three or four

hundred dollars on the whole process and i bet it's at least a thousand dollars worth of walnut but not for a year right so you don't even know if you'll want it then yeah who knows if i even care like well i can be on the grid in a year well i can you know value money yeah a year from now do i care about wood at this point is it all metal would you rather have a hundred dollars now or five thousand dollars guy's got an algorithm to figure out who's gonna score in every basketball game anyway so i don't don't hire me to do trailer stuff i don't like it okay didn't enjoy it but but i'll i'll move some stuff in a truck any day so thank you for listening to moving wood with a trailer with brad ellis forward by brad ellis epilogue not included in this edition for five bucks patreon Patreon. Yeah. There's an epilogue.

Hey, Jake and Brad. It's Joel from Columbus. Again, I've got a challenge for you. It's called the Google challenge. You have to type two words into a Google search with the hopes that you will only get one result, not zero results, not a million results, one result. So you got to think of two words that are only tied together one time in all of the internet world. The Google challenge, two words.

Good luck. That's can't wait to see what you come up with. I love this. There's I think is it possible? Two words is not very much. But Joel, this is a great idea. I love this idea. Two words seems very, very hard, but maybe he's done it and maybe that's why he knows

to ask. But I mean, three words seems like way easier. Two words. I don't think I've ever seen less than like, you know, 15 O's on Google at the bottom whenever I search anything. Okay. So round one, how about we each get to choose two words and the least amount of results wins. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I don't know. Don't tell get to choose two words and the least amount of results wins.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I don't know. Don't tell me what word you're going to do though. Or words. Okay.

I got to think. I mean, everything seems so Googleable. Like every word I'm thinking of, I'm like, well, there's going to be a lot of results for that. Are you doing, I mean, this is technical Boolean search style. Are you doing quotes? Oh no, no, no, no quotes. no quotes no quotes well or should we like they have to go together because i was gonna like search my mom's name and i was like no because

my mom's name is george ann and so that's a pretty uncommon name let's go quotes then that'll be a lot less results oh man even then there's so there's gotta be at least like a thousand george it's like it's not that uncommon of a name All right, I have mine. I'm searching it what already. I don't know I just thought of two random words. Okay, okay Okay, not bet I have 11,000 results that does not seem like many I Mean it's a lot more than one 11,000 yeah, that's not bad. I'm looking around. Oh, I forgot about Etsy dang it Of course that's on Etsy uh-huh. I can't think I can't do a craft Okay ready yeah, you got yours

Oh, all right round one I took it. What'd you search dinosaur butter? Dang, that's so much better than mine. Mine's like after I searched. I was like there's images for mine There images for yours. Yeah, I have a dinosaur on a plate of butter being sold on Etsy Mine my first thing is Etsy as well. I searched plywood dish I Know I kept out of something. I was gonna reverse. I was gonna do plywood dish. I know. I could have thought of something. I was going to, at first I was going to do plywood dishwasher. Ooh. But I don't know if dishwasher, is that one word?

Yeah, I think so. Shoot. Oh, 15,000. No. In quotes. Okay. Now we get three words. I love this.

Oh man. Plywood dishwasher in quotes would have been three thousand six hundred six. Oh dang it idiot Okay, why would dishwasher? No, no no no three three unique words, okay, okay, okay? And no proper nouns you can't just write like okay, okay? Abdullah you know or whatever and then like some other random things um okay I think I got one do you have yours oh I got Michael Jordan just told a little fine okay personal I'm going to search no way oh

yes I got six results I got six. Mine's crap. Mine's crap. You seem really flustered. What'd you say? I don't want to tell you what I said, but I got 1.3 million results. I use way too common of a word. My search, I thought this was like so random. Like, what is this going to pull up?

I use the word pizza. Stupid. Pizza calibrator driveway. That seems good. 1.3 million Google. Come on, Silicon Valley. OK, what did you get? Six results.

So it actually says no results found. But without quotes, there's six. So I did good. OK. Victorian milk goober. Oh, man, that's good. That's why they pay you the big bucks. Imagine that. 1.37 million versus six.

And zero, really. That is a fun game. That's gonna be something to play for all you guys listening. Like just right now, try and search something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. JT. Wow, Joelel that was one of my favorite voice memo questions we've ever got wow okay pizza driveway calibrator pizza

calibrator driveway i thought maybe putting in that in that order that doesn't make sense at all that's so silly oh okay let's do another one that was great okay hey oh oh i think traver city long time listener first time caller a few of my friends have called in though uh levi prole was the one who asked you about your lauren daigle date gotta say i love the answer um and my friend clint also called in but can't remember what he said no either way sorry um i have just turned 18 and you get to do a lot more stuff i can buy spray paint or fireworks all very fun i can also go to the casino hello you guys have mentioned the casino a couple times on the pod just wondered if you have any advice for uh what to do while i'm there any fun things to do or try try. Yes. I'm not going to bring a ton of money.

I don't want to lose very much. I'm fully expecting that I might lose all that I bring. Either way, I think it'll be fun. So thanks. Love the podcast. You guys are great. Bye-bye. That's awesome.

That whole thing. I mean, just first, the fact that him and his friends have all left different voice memos. And listen, that's awesome. 18, spray paint. That's awesome 18 spray paint that's awesome i love all that oh my god okay advice for the we can have a whole separate podcast just talking about the casino and there'd be more than four chapters because we really yeah we really

enjoy it probably to a fault so that's advice number one is yeah go in with very good limits yeah it sounds like he already knows like you go into it with the mindset like you can't look at it like you're gambling you have to look at it like it's like a like an amusement park like it costs 40 to go in this casino and then yeah you go and have fun for a couple hours and then you might get that money back right sometimes they might even pay you to go to this amusement park right but you have to you have to go with the mindset that this is going to cost me money let's even yeah take it one step further the amusement park, because sometimes you get like a prize at those games, but you have to view it as like,

I'm not going to win. I'm just, I get to throw this at the milk carton. The ring around the bottle. Right. Yeah, that's still fun. Yeah, that's fun. But maybe I'll come home with a Mountain Dew in my hand. So yeah, so the right mindset going into it.

Do a little bit of research on how to play Blackjack. Blackjack's the most fun thing to play, I think. Yeah, Blackjack is little bit of research on how to play Blackjack. Blackjack's the most fun thing to play, I think. Yeah, Blackjack is fun. If you know how to play craps, it's fun. But that is more, that's probably not your first visit to the casino playing craps. And a lot of times when you're 18, you can't. If you're going to 18 in that casino, they don't have craps.

Gotcha. Because you shouldn't be saying that word yet. Right. Yeah. Crud. Cruds. You want to play cruds um oh man so many things so i mean just go it's a fun group yes absolutely it's it's so much more fun if your entire table

is people that you know because even if you're losing it's like this is hilarious yeah because brad is uh like you know really making diana from bulgaria laugh right now you know so it's fine that's a good that's a good thing uh a Uh, the dealer, the dealer's your friend. Like everyone's always like worried, like, Oh, I don't know if the dealer wants me to lose. No, the dealer always is rooting for you because they don't make less money. If you win, they're going to make the same amount. Plus yeah, you should tip the dealer. Sometimes we don't really do that too. I remember we're playing $5. Yeah. Uh, we do a fun thing sometimes called cup to cup that's an inside joke of ours so there's there's on the tables that we play make it sound like we go all

the time i haven't been in a long time but on the tables that we play uh there's obviously rooms for like cup holders and uh we stack up like chips and if you can go cup to cup like five dollars you know you have 25 stacks cup to cup it's like a big feat you might have gotten like 150 dollars yeah but the legend status my friend johnny lambert went double cup to cup to cup it was amazing still when i tell you know brad like oh who all was there i'm like oh like so and so was there so and so double cup was there like oh yeah johnny yeah yeah yeah so legend status you go cup to cup twice. Um, never seen it again Yeah, I don't know. There's a lots of fun things we could talk about we talk more but casinos are fun, but they're dangerous

so just just always have limits and Yeah, the worst thing that can happen is you win a ton of money your first time true like oh this is easy I always happen beginners luck is so I'll bring $100 next time. Right. And then you are in some jams. Right. Then, yeah, you're getting your knees cracked in the back room. Yeah, gambling's easy. Yeah. Yeah, Lawrence Fishburne is going at your Kevin Spaceys.

Right. Yeah. I've watched 21 a lot. Oh, yeah. Which I would suggest. It's great. Mm-hmm. Okay.

We're in an hour and a half. I think we should... Let's cut it there. Cut it. But there are a lot of good voice memos we'll get to them next week keep sending them in um we just had a lot to talk about this week real quick before we head out let's quickly do a review of the week my favorite one is probably from uh milky piggy beans sounds like a not very googleable words might have zero

results she said he or she said love the podcast but I have to mention that driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cake hole, is a reference to the show Supernatural. It was hilarious to listen to you guys talk about this, knowing the reference. Thanks for entertaining us every week. So it's a show quote, I guess. Supernatural. I thought somebody else said it was from Smallville. Uh-oh. Oh, milky piggy beans. Let's look this up real fast.

Driver. Someone is milking her piggy beans. Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne. No, shoot. Clark Kent. Pittsburgh. Shut up.

Pittsburgh is Smallville. Oh, Heinz Ward was in it. Shut up. Pittsburgh is Smallville. I think so. Hines Ward was in it. Smallville. They put ketchup on their pizza. Hines. Smallville is what they had to call it, but it is Pittsburgh. It's supernatural. It's supernatural. Okay, great. What is your review of the week? Honestly, I'm just going to go ahead and say it. Dr. J.P. Whittier says the best of the best.

This podcast is way, leaps and bounds better than correct opinions. It didn't say that. But, uh, speaking of Trey, is he ever going to be a guest? Oh, first of all,

correct opinions in this are completely different. Correct opinions is just a podcast where they just spit, you spit the breeze, shoot the breeze and just, you know, make jokes along the way. This is completely different. This is serious.

This, yeah, we are, we are political here. You heard, you heard how make jokes along the way. This is completely different. This is serious. Yeah, we are political here. You heard Hattie. It's educational. Hattie's endorsing Trump. It's an audio book. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So please don't compare us.

It's like apples to oranges. No, anyway, but speaking of Trey, is he ever going to be a guest? Oh, thanks for asking. Thanks for lobbing that one up for us because guess what? We have Trey as a guest on an episode and it's hilarious already, but you can only access it if you're a Patreon member. So go to patreon.com slash ghostrunners and check it out.

For five bucks, that episode could be yours. And the episode with Catherine. How much do you pay for a cup of coffee? Oh, $5.24, probably. I'd say that's 24 cents too much, boy. Come on out. Yeah. Oh, a single shot of espresso? You want it hot, not cold? Hot and single? Hello. That, boy. Come on out. Yeah. Oh, Single Shrive Expresso?

You want it hot, not cold? Hot and single? Hello. That's Trey and the episode. Hello. Kind of. Not really. We talked about the opposite.

Anyway. But yeah. It's a great episode. He's really fun. And maybe we'll, I mean, if you want to listen to Trey and Jake, they have a podcast every week now. Do ask God bless. Yeah.
