Brad, how much do you drink coffee, or how often do you drink coffee? On average, once a day, in the morning. Oh, do you really? Yeah. Okay, that's more than I thought. Yeah, I just recently got an espresso machine. Ooh. I'm not trying to brag, it was on sale, but yeah.

Nice. Okay. So I'm a little more addicted to caffeine than I should be now. Okay, well that's good. Okay. Because I have a question about coffee, and I am afraid this is not going to be that relatable, and it's going to be like, oh, something's wrong with you and your body. Okay. But oftentimes when I will have some coffee, I feel like I will drink, like I'll start my day by drinking coffee. Okay. That's relatable so far.

Oh my gosh. I start my day. I'm so zany. Don't talk to me until I have my coffee. I'll drink like eight ounces of a latte. And when it's time to go to the bathroom, I will pee gallons. And I'm'm like where is this urine coming from oh no that's that's I don't know about that really because this is pretty consistent for me and I'm I'm worried it's like the coffee it's like excreting liquid from other parts of my yeah it's like a sponge it's like it's like it's like wringing everything else out no so this isn't this you don't feel this it's like it's like it's like ringing everything else out no so this isn't this you don't feel this it's only coffee though i will pee so much after coffee like orange juice it's like yeah i'm okay yeah no the pulp the pulp sucks it all in you know i don't know really dang it i really thought

i will say whenever i go uh number one after i drink coffee it smells like coffee oh yeah smells like the the devil's armpit. Yeah. But yeah, I was more just confused about the quantity and it sounds like I got something to look into. Like you get X, but like really, I think it's supposed to be a diuretic. And so it's supposed to make you dehydrated. Diuretic. That doesn't sound good. Di. Diuretic. I am type two diuretic. That's where you pee a ton after you have coffee yeah if you have too much flavor sugar creamer in there hit it brad hey hey hey hi hey hey Ghost Runners Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I think this type of meme

That's going down with some random thoughts And why you need to meet Westpac's friends Eating fast food on repeat So come along and have some fun Go ahead and get on your feet Cause it's the Ghost Runners Podcast Ghost Runners Podcast Every Monday morning with Jake and Brad

Ghost Runners Podcast Ghost Runners Podcast Ghost with Jake and Brad, Ghost Runners Podcast, Ghost Runners Podcast, Ghost with Jake and Brad, hey! Woo! Monday morning, episode 67. No! Did you forget to press record? We're recording on our mics.

I didn't record on the computer, but we can put it afterwards. It's fine. Did you forget to press record? We're recording on our mics. I didn't record on the computer, but we can put it afterwards. It's fine. Oh, made me choke. Actually, speaking of choking, I just edited a video for Trey and I. It'll go live tomorrow in our time, six days ago in your time, the listener. Okay. Feeling real good about it.

Don't want to make any predictions in case they don't come true and that's awkward, but I think it's going to the listener. Okay. Feeling real good about it. Don't want to make any predictions in case they don't come true and then that's awkward, but I think it's going to be nice. Okay. But there's a blooper where Trey is talking and he's like, oh, I almost choked. And I was like, oh, that's an office quote.

Do you remember it? It's like super random. I choked on tiramisu. No, no, no. It's a surplus episode where everyone's buttering themselves up to Michael or buttering Michael up. Like Jim's taking him out to eat.

Pam's like, you know, hot tie guy. Yeah. And so I guess it's like maybe a second time choking. Okay. Because he doesn't talk about it. But Michael's walking in his office and Pam's like, oh, don't take it away. Don't take it away.

And he gets so flustered. He just says, oh, I almost choked. I almost choked. And I wanted to put that in as a blooper, but you don't even see Michael when he says it. Like the camera's on Jim. Oh, oh i almost choked i almost choked and i wanted to put that in as a blooper but you don't even see michael when he says it like the camera's on jim oh he says i almost choked pam and jim are like staring each other down yeah so it's like oh it's not gonna make the cut it's not gonna work how does that work with like copywriting and stuff whenever you have a viral like actual real like popular videos and stuff like if it's only like three or

four seconds long that you're good they don't care and Facebook is still very lenient like as long as you're not being like very outspokenly racist go for it Okay, that's really the only thing they crack down on like okay four minutes of an Adele song. You're fine. Really you're fine You'll be fine. She's got enough things good things going on. Yeah, she lost weight. Yeah, but don't say she looks great Oh, I'm not gonna open that up. Do you know about all no so it sounds like you gotta open it a little bit oh no crack open the top this happened probably two months ago adele posted uh just like some progress pics or i guess no one's really heard from adele in a while i think i saw that picture she looks great yeah she's in front of something uh artistic looking right she was in front of something yeah you know the picture right yeah she was in the foreground yeah yeah there was something behind her something behind her as a

photographer in front of her but you didn't see him right yeah you don't see the photographer in this one it was that picture okay yeah there were no mirrors around um but it just created this huge like conversation on twitter of just like oh so now she looks great oh adele had to lose weight to like earn your like respect yeah and most people were like yo she's won eight grammy's she had my respect i'm just saying like she probably worked hard to earn this body and i think she looks great is twitter twitter's the worst at that right twitter's the worst for a lot of stuff like i deleted tweeter oh grandpa i deleted tweeter I deleted Twitter. Oh, grandpa. I deleted Twitter. The Twitter sphere. I deleted Twitter from my phone two weeks ago.

I was just like, I deleted everything from my phone for like a day, like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok. And, you know, you know, the natural time wasters and then just haven't gotten Twitter back because I just think it's such a frustrating that you can just people just get so frustrated on there all the time. Yeah, I don't I don't get on there too much because, yeah, it's such a frustrating like you can just people just get so frustrated on there all the time. Yeah, I don't get on there too much because yeah, it is just a lot of arguing things. You didn't even know the people had differing opinions on their arguing. It's amazing

like that like hey, she looks great. Oh, how can you say that? We don't know if she lost the weight in a healthy way, which I guess is somewhat fair but she did she had a fitness trainer like we know she lost it in a healthy way, but the sad thing is that Twitter is also how I get almost all my news. And so like a lot of like sports things have broken out recently and I just haven't heard about him for until my friends will

be like, Whoa, did you hear about the big 10? Yeah. No canceling football. It's like, no, I did it. Do you see Patrick at home's press conference yesterday talking about pickleball? No, you're missing out. What you're missing out. No, baby. Tell me. I think the reporter, what? You're kidding. He, um, I Tell me. I think the reporter. What? This is amazing. You're kidding. He, um. I would. Oh, the soundbite of Patrick Mahomes saying pickleball.

Oh, that'd be amazing. No. Why don't you just try to recreate it now? Okay. Here's the actual question that he got asked. And somehow he pivoted this into pickleball. It was something like, how's the relationship with Sammy Watkins been? You know, it's really great.

Me and Sam, we just, just vibe on a lot of levels. We're both Texas boys at heart, so we love barbecue. We love prime rib. We love watching MTV Cribs together. And we actually just recreated an MTV Cribs episode where we go out back and we play pickleball together. We're on the same team against Kels, against Kels and Mitch Schwartz, and we just whoop them up every day.

So it's every day's a challenge. That was awesome. That was actually a really good impression. I felt really good about that. I felt like it was pretty consistent. The right amount of gravel. Yeah. That was awesome.

So I, and Sammy Watkins was in, like, was being talked about in this. This is my dream. I almost, I love Samuel. Now I'm questioning whether I have it right, but I'm, cause I only watched it once, but yeah,

the reporter was like, how's your relationship been with Sammy Watkins? And he was like, Oh, like all of us are pretty close on the offensive side. He's like the receivers, the running backs, the tight ends.

And I like, we all like hang out. We'll go out to eat. The wives come over, the girlfriends come over. He's like, we can't do it anymore, but we used to go to chicken and pickle.

We play pickleball together. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. My Facebook group, Casey Pickleball, they were loving it. Loving it, Brad. Can you imagine? What were some of those names that you played pickleball with the Wild Bagger? Oh, Darla. Yeah, Darla. Darla, freaking out. Nancy. Patrick knows

pickleball. When someone shared it, the caption was, he's one of us which is such a like facebook group type like verbiage yeah he's just like us lol oh he's just a normal guy one one leg at a time in those pants of his in the comments what i would have done to see him there if i rolled up a chicken but he was there the funny thing is i was just about to say that honestly like i would love to watch, like see how good he is at pickleball and or see if I could just like get one

on him. Patrick, if you're listening, bring it on, bring it. We're in first place. We're getting bumped up to the super competitive league next session. We heard.

Okay. Congrats. Things are good in the pickle world. That's such a great strategy by them to be like, Hey, next session, AKA like you have to pay pay another 75 and then and then like next session comes along they're like you know what sorry we

actually didn't have enough slots for you guys we have enough uh guys being grandfathered into super competitive so next session i promise or they're like hey we're doing a new thing next session we'd love for you guys to do the coin toss if you guys want to do that like they just find a way to like get me every time right hey we're doing um free uh free watches okay free sport watches yeah come on out i don't know for the watches patrick mahomes might be there he's been there before he has been here before oh man how's your pickle world or your non-pickle world pickle world's been fun um i think this was since last time we played. We played against our friend Dylan. I can call him our friend now because I've met him once. And he is my friend.

And he's your friend. Yeah. He follows me on Instagram. We're mutually. We're out on Instagram. Dot com. Or like what's the account? Oh, okay.

Okay. Like for custom furniture. Custom furniture in Kansas City. We're also shipping new things. Got new machines that I can ship things, guys. So just holler. Sugar. Sugar holler um sugar sugar holler uh but anyway this guy was touted as touted from jake and isaac like this guy is amazing

best guy i've ever watched the best we've ever seen yeah and i was like okay what's this guy all about you know and i had like this ray of hope like like i'll be very honest i am the worst out of all the competitive guys that we play with like Like, like there's a few guys worse than us, but like the guys that are consistent, I'm the worst. I'm not bad, but I'm not as good as the rest of you guys. I think most ghost runners listeners would have trouble against you, but we've all just been playing a lot. Right.

We, yeah, exactly. I'm not trying to like downplay myself too much, but I had this like hope of going there of like, you know what? Jake and Isaac like always beat me, but maybe like if I get the right partner, like it's like a matchup nightmare against this guy and this guy, this guy can whoop up on Jake and I, you know, it's like kind of like when the Patriots play the bills and it's like, Hey, all bets are off. It's rivalry week, you know? Uh, so maybe I'm a matchup nightmare for this guy was not, he, he ate my lunch pretty well. Um, but it was really fun to play against him.

It was. And we played again recently. Saturday was a good time. It's been so humid in Kansas City. Very humid. Hattie likes to call when she sweats outside. She says, I'm sweating out. Dad, I got to go inside.

I'm sweating out. Sweating out. Where'd she get that from? I think that sounds like something Catherine may have said. Maybe me, mom, pop, pop. What are they called? Honey and pops. Honey and pops.

Well, that's cereal grandparents right there. Yeah, smackers. Yeah, smack. Smack honey and pops. Anyway. Rest in peace, Cocoa Pebbles. Thinking about how she... You're great

someday we'll get back to you i don't know um chicken sam it's up there looking down on us anyway we have we i i sweat out hard on saturday i was sweating like crazy yeah i think i sweat out of four different shirts on saturday you sweat out how much i pee after i have coffee i know it was a time it was i was ringing that thing out i did catch you ringing at one time i was you you were standing up and i was talking to you i looked up and i caught you mid-ring i was like oh yeah that's pretty gross it's sweating out season that is funny good for good for a hattie yeah so anyway sweating out pickleball world though good good good time good we got some uh paddles that we have been testing

out oh yeah good times yeah that's been fun um i checked my credit this week for the first time ever oh you're not supposed to do it too often so don't do it too much more oh why not it like dings you every time you check your credit score oh how many dings for demerit uh seven oh no i don't know what what does a ding mean the, the, it like lowers your credit score or something like that. Oh, like the more credit checks you get. I have no idea. I don't seem fair. It doesn't seem fair. It's silly. If I check my bank account, they got to take money away from me. You're going to ding my money. Yeah. Your interest rate goes down every time you see how much money you have. That doesn't, I have no idea. If you're, if you're out there and you're a finance guy,

let me know why. If you majored in ding-dongs, let us know why. Maybe it's an old thing. Maybe it's like, you know, I'm trying to think of another wives' tale back in the day. Or even a husband's tale. Yeah. But yeah, I hear that like the more you check your credit, the worse it gets. Okay. Or like the, like, so don't do it every day or anything.

Don't be like, no, seriously, I got this credit score. Check me out. How are you doing? I'm in the like excellent range. Oh, good. Which made me feel great. Because doing i'm in the like excellent range oh good which made me feel great because i feel like you hear people like oh i just i would love to do that but i don't have the credit for it right so i was like maybe mine's not great but now i'm thinking why would anyone's not be great all you do is just pay your credit card bill every month i know yeah

and it's amazing i remember one time i mean like the upper echelon yeah like one of the first 10 podcasts we recorded we were talking about dave Ramsey and you're like, how hard is it? Like you spend less than you make. And I was like, you'd be surprised how many people don't understand that. And those are the people that have bad credit. Cause I think I'm not great with money, but then I also think, well, I must be. Cause all these, I hear about these problems that I don't have. I mean, shout out to Steve and Trish that for teaching you don't spend money you don't have, I guess. I don't remember that being a lesson it just seems like it makes sense common sense like hey why don't we have that car well because we don't have the money to buy that car oh that's a lousy excuse right i got a credit card some

people say that seriously seriously that's interesting it's a thing it's a huge thing huh i just watched the big short again last week for the second time ever That's up doubts a huge reason why the housing market crashed. Oh, yeah, just cuz they were like well Oh, I'll be able to pay this off probably yeah, we'll just give you the money We'll say you can do it even with bad credit. So So yeah, excellent. Congrats. Thanks. Yeah, I'm good. So what are you gonna do with it? To be can to be I'll tell you later. I'll tell you later.

TB, TBCY. I don't know. What's the ice cream place? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This can't be, I can't believe it's not ice cream. Butter. Dang it. Um, so yeah, that was a big thing for me this week.

Okay. Mediocre life update. I have amazing credit. I knew you did, buddy. I've always known that. I knew it the whole time. What knew you did, buddy. I've always known that about you. Knew it the whole time. What did you do this week? I went to McDonald's and got some fries.

Okay. And I decided that I think it should be an American tradition that if you get fries in the drive-thru, that they always put at least five fries outside of the actual fries container in your bag. Because it is one of the best American joys in life is when you get done with your fries and you reach in there. You're like, I'm not done. And there's a few more, baby. That's what I did this past week.

I think there's been a few times where I just get the fries and then I reach down, no fries left. Bummer. A clean fry guy. Yeah. And don't do that to me it's not the norm so five guys they put like half the fries in the bag not five fries no five yeah thousand fries five less fries so yeah anyway i just i think that's a thing that needs to happen more often like that needs to be an expectation yeah no that's good a few standalones in the in the bag i've been through a drive-thru before legitimately and asked um there's i think it was you know pre-beef days

pre-tick bite i was like can i get a couple hamburgers and drink and can you guys just throw a couple fries in the bag and that doesn't work but it's always worth a shot oh like an order of fries no no just like take a small handful literally sprinkle sprinkle throw them in the bag just like six fries. Yeah. That was in college. We thought we were so funny. It's still kind of funny.

But it never worked. It never. No, they never. You never got the right person. Yeah. Maybe next time. You probably were asking for a fry. You should have been like, can you just sprinkle a few hamburgers in the bag?

Because you ordered a hamburger. I was going too small. Yeah. Yeah. And can you just throw like a, I don't know, M&M McFlurry in there? Yeah. Just throw a few M&Ms and some ice cream. smear it on the bottom and all you feel a little sloppy as you pour it in yeah just like here you go and just i don't know do it now you got fries yeah i went to a walmart this week and got some quick groceries not even that much just like i mean really the essentials like i needed milk and

bread and like that kind of stuff some gatorade oh yeah milk and bread so it's like maybe a tornado's coming or yeah they're calling for freezing rain. Yeah. Oh, that was what I was going to say earlier. Twitter's great for like, did something happen to the rest of it? Like I thought I felt an earthquake the other night. Oh. Check Twitter. No earthquake.

Kansas. Yeah. Or like you hear like a lot of police cars going by. You're like police cars. Police emergency Johnson County. Yeah. No earthquakes. No emergencies.

No emergencies were good. I don't know what I felt good i don't know what i felt um i don't know what the motion of the ocean baby but oh yeah so the essentials yeah there's uh there's freezing rain coming so i'm getting milk and bread good for you and a woman uh is behind me in the self-checkout line i don't even notice her i haven't noticed her the whole time and she's talking to another woman but talking pretty loudly she's like no no you stay there i'm going with the guy who buys the same milk i do oh yeah meet cute talk about a meet cute i was like okay uh bullseye this is what i've been waiting on now she thought it was target the whole time it's walmart baby yeah she's a bit older, but you know, I'll take what I can get.

Yeah. Same milk. Yeah. Suggestive. Oh, yeah. Our kids will have the same milk. Right. Yeah.

From you. Cereal, honey pops in our milk. Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. So she says that. And I'm like, oh, not really knowing, catching. And she's like, we bought our milk together.

And I was like, what? She's like, oh, did you not see me? Like, we were back there. I have the door for there for you yeah i guess we were very close to each other at the milk section so i'm like oh oh of course yeah oh great value i mean why would you not you know so we're it's right there in the name i don't need to say anymore yeah it's over chatting we're flirting things are getting hot really i mean well i mean as hot as they can get for like a married woman in her 50s at the self-checkout line uh yeah and like usually stuff like that goes around the gum area like of like the actual novelty buys impulse buys yeah yeah but this is

self-checkout people around people are listening right and then my credit card gets declined credit score this is before i dinged so i don't even know okay maybe that was oh but i imagine that and a ding at the same day oh double buying 25 for the groceries i mean almost why did i even go this is so minimal groceries 25 at aldi you're literally a king but i love burlington coat factory i um it's not going, but it's like, I never quite understood how a credit card gets rejected because I'm like, you don't even know how much money I have, so why would it get denied? Yeah, unless you hit your limit, which there's no way.

No way, not for $25. And I'm just like, it's got to be a machine issue. And so I keep swiping it. She's like, oh, well, I mean, we bought the same milk, so if you need me to cover it, I can. And I'm like, no, no, it's really okay. it's 25 like i i have 25 like no no seriously let me pay for it i'm like i i have 25 and i'm like getting upset like i've got i have a debit card i can use she's like you don't need to be embarrassed she used that she literally said that it was something like that

yeah i probably made it a little more dramatic listen Listen, lady, I have an iPhone 11. I'm not embarrassed about anything. I drive a Camry. Is it like a bluish green Camry, though? Is the paint kind of chipping? What does that do? Yes, the paint is chipping. I don't care.

It's cosmetic. Yeah. Oh, is that the license plate expired November? Yes. Okay. And then DMV is flooded. Yeah. You're three months minimum to get in there. I try. Yeah. It's your, your three months minimum.

I try to register my spot in line, but you can't, even if you're by 9am, it's already full. I'm not waking up at six to go to the DMV. No, no way. Charlotte. It's probably your name. Of course. But yeah, it went from really meet cute to really like, she thinks I'm homeless.

And then I, luckily I had the debit card out. But yeah, just an all around great experience this week of just like, we buy the same milk together. Yeah. Power move. You say, you know what? Just to prove it, I'll buy all your stuff. And then she just impulse buys like crazy.

There is a YouTuber. We've talked about him on this. David Dobrik, big YouTuber. One time, some people were like kind of rude to him and In-N-Out Burger. I mean, not even that rude to him, but i think like kind of like cut him in line or being kind of snarky but they didn't know who he was at all and to prove a point he's like you know what i'm not gonna really say that much to him and he got this like all on camera like how rude they're being and what they're saying to him and so he paid for everyone behind him in line like paid for the entire store's

food and after he let her in front of him like that is why it'd be sweet to be rich just to do stuff like that just to spite the rest of the store for the next hour i'm paying for but not these two people not anyway that's had anything yet yeah it was awesome oh wow okay so maybe that's what you should do someday when you're super loaded someday my credit score keeps going up i know know, dude. And your net worth, too. Yeah. Can you get your credit score high enough to where they just start paying you money, just like rewarding you?

Does that work? I'll ask Dave Ramsey. I'm not positive. Okay. Or like if there's a country that does that, let me know. I think Turks and Caicos. Maybe Rwanda. Rwanda has a really high like hotel chain.

I was going to say, they have made a movie about it. Yeah, like Days Inn is there. I mean, Hotel Rwanda is what they call it. really high, like hotel chain. I was going to say, they made a movie about it. Yeah, like Days Inn is there. I mean, Hotel Rwanda is what they call it. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Golly. Okay, so something that happened to me this week, I helped my friend Peter, friend of the pod, move.

And it was classic. It was classic. Like, hey, man, can you help me move? Shouldn't take long at all. I don't have that much stuff. Don't ever. I'm never, unless those people ever,

and honestly it wasn't like terrible, but he moved, we moved it all into your basement. So it's like all literally feet away. It's taken up a good amount of the basement over here. Yeah. Cause I was also confused. Cause Peter sent us a text like,

Hey, do y'all mind? Like, right. Here's what's happening. Like we're going to move some stuff into the basement. Right. And yeah,

just, he didn't use that many details, but I just inferred it's not that much stuff. Not that much. And then Isaac and I were like, why is there a U-Haul in our driveway? That was the other classic. We were pulling up. That's a lot of stuff. So I was, I was in the car with Kevin, uh, driving there in my truck. And then Peter and a few other guys were in his U-Haul. And I was like, maybe I should call Isaac to have him move his car out of the driveway for Peter. And then I was like, no, no, no. Surely Peter's talked to them. And Kevin's like, no way has Peter talked to them about this. And then all of a sudden I was like, I called Isaac and he's

like, oh, I had no idea. So anyway, we had to move all this stuff and we had to move all down the stairs and it was fine. But by the end of it, once again, I was sweating out, sweating out, sweating out. So I don't, I don't, it was fine. It is not that bad, but I realized that I've moved. I've never, I haven't moved anything for you before. Have I? No. So I'll, I'll, I'll keep you on the list.

No. Yeah. I, I feel a little too burdensome. I think I have a issue. Like I hate asking people for rides to the airport. I think everyone does. I move a little too burdensome, I think. I have an issue. Like, I hate asking people for rides to the airport. I think everyone does. I move on my own every time. Yeah, but eventually, when you have enough stuff, like Peter did, you have to eventually

just ask people. Yeah, which is good for him for asking. I'm a little too prideful, probably. For the longest time, you could fit everything in your car. I still... No, I'm not. I'm not to that point. You've got a bed now.

Yes, I do have a bed now. And a desk. And a chair. Oh, I'm not. I'm not to that point. You got a bed now. Yes, I do have a bed now and a desk and a chair. Oh boy. Gosh. Don't tell the IRS I have a chair. Whoa, hey, don't tell your credit score that. I'm going to ding my score. Ding on the chair. You're a major ding.

Yeah. Help Peter move. How about intermittent voice memos? That's right. That's the thing. Intermittent fasting and intermittent voice memos. Yes. Okay.

We're going to sprinkle in some, sprinkle in some some vms get some fries in there and some vms this episode so starting off with one right now from andy also just hop on patreon i do that a lot start at the end don't be an accident sorry just help me move what's up guys my name's andy i've been listening to your podcast for a while now and just wanted to say thanks for making it. It's really funny. I really enjoy listening to it. It makes the commute feel less long and also makes the boring aspects of the job less boring. Nice.

I've been going back through and listening to some of the original episodes and just came across episode 11 whenever you guys are talking about Friends, the TV show. Brad mentions how fantastic of a show it is and jake is just not having any of it i wanted to hop on and back up jake and say that i think friends is one of the most overhyped tv shows probably in existence okay um everybody i talked to about it thinks it's just a phenomenal show and just the episodes that i've seen were not that impressive if you want to watch a fantastic show about nothing, watch Seinfeld. It's much better. Oh, boy.

Also, just hopped on the Patreon train. You guys put out more Patreon content than any podcast I've ever been a part of. So, bravo. Thanks for making the podcast. Bye-bye. That's not fair. You can't rile me up and then say such a nice thing at the end. Did you guys hear that?

We're putting out some Patreon content. I just uploaded something an hour ago to our Patreon. A little rental car debacle. A little debacle. All right, what do you think, Brad? Well, now he took the wind out of my sails. It'd be nice to be at the end. You have windless sails.

I was high up there with my sails. Andy, thank you for the voice memo and for hopping on the train, the Patreon train. Come on, ride the train. It's right here. Yeah. Yeah. Patreon. God, it ain't going on.

Yeah, we have been trying to put out a bunch of stuff. Yeah, we have. If you pay 10 bucks or more, you get some bonus videos every week. I try to make it fun and different.

Interesting. Friends. Friends. So I haven't seen it that much. I think, I don't know what I said in episode 11. I'm guessing I probably said

that like laugh track shows are hard to watch now that I've watched The Office so much. Yeah, which Oral History of The Office random shout out for that podcast. It's awesome. It's so good and they talk about that exact thing. Yeah. About laugh tracks. Well, but then again his example was Seinfeld which also has a laugh

track. Yeah. I definitely think Seinfeld is better than Friends. I don't know how to debate that because I don't know how to compare them. Because Friends has such a plot that Seinfeld doesn't have. So Seinfeld's so funny. It's like so funny. And I don't know if Friends is as funny, but I think Friends is so good. I think it's the most timeless show ever, maybe.

Yeah, I'll stick to it. I think it's so timeless. You watch it right now. The only things that are like dated or like the pagers and the phones, like, like, like why are they using a phone in their apartment? Like why do they have to have an answering machine that they delete messages on stuff like that. But like you watch it, especially as like a 29 year old guy, like you watch it and you're just like, I can relate so much to that person living in this city, like trying to get out on their own, trying to venture out, trying to do something different. It's just so good. And it's so lovable and so funny. And I truly think it's, it's obviously not appropriate. So maybe I should

not say it's that good because then I get in trouble for it's on network TV. It's on NBC. It is. But I, yeah, once again, I had older sisters and so I watched it probably like 10 years old. And so mom and dad, it's fine. Okay. Um, but anyway, it's, it's a really good show and it's, I think it's like, yeah, I truly think it's timeless. Cause I think you can relate to these people and like, there's things that they do and I'll, I'll watch them back with Catherine and I'll be like, you just you said that exact same thing yesterday. Nice. And I think a lot of shows, it just feels like they're dated, but not that one.

So, yeah, it's hard to try and tear down a show that's as successful as that or anything is that. Sure. Like I've said it before on the podcast. I mean, a long time ago, but I'm a big Kim Kardashian backer because I think so many people love to like bash her. Wait, I don't know if we ever talked about this. I think I've said it briefly on the pod before. It's like so many people will be like, oh, I'd love to be famous for doing nothing or whatever.

But I'm like, a lot of people are born into rich families. A lot of people have made sex tapes. Why do we know Kim Kardashian's name and no one else's? She's got to be doing something right. I think she's probably smart behind closed doors. I think she's like very savvy, probably. Maybe. I'm just a big believer.

Like if we know your name name you've done something right unless your last name is epstein then that's true it's a good counter argument but i think you get my point that's the one argument that you could counter with if you have made it and you're successful there's a reason and i don't think people have the right to necessarily like take away from it like it's not that great like yeah andy um just kidding no no i don't know what you would want to say whatever just basically it's very successful but i just prefer other shows sure um larry bird's good you can't say that larry bird sucks because like oh he wants a three-point shooting contest and he wants some nba titles

yeah yeah people like lebron or jordan dude can Jordan. Jordan would suck now. He would not. He would not. Do I just saw a highlight of just one layup that he had that I'm like, I've never seen that highlight before. And it was so incredible. The fact that I've never seen that before. Yeah. Anyway, Jordan's awesome.

Register now at causeandeffect.ucc.on.ca. Another news. So last week I did a little text of the week. I have a new one and it was to the same person. I'm really not, not doing well with this person. Were you half asleep? Like half conscious?

This time fully conch. Full conch. Dang it. Now what did I, I didn't write it down. It's my you'll remember it so stupid I don't remember the context exactly, but she lives in Wisconsin. That's important. That is contextual The sooner state of course yes It's five or state if you're going from Chicago to Canada, okay? She said something like, Oh, Oh, dang it. What is it? Something basically like, if you do this, um, that's dang it. This is good. This is good. This is good.

No, no, no, no, no, no. We're not adding anything. I have to go on my text and just search it real quick. Okay. So I found it. I was talking about, I'm going on this Yosemite trip. She said, Oh, where do you even fly into? And I said, I'm going to this Yosemite trip. She said, oh, where do you even fly into? I said, I'm going to fly into the Fresno airport. She said, Fresno? That's a cheese. She's from Wisconsin. I was like, is that a phrase up there?

This Friday night, I'm going out with my friends. That's the cheese. That's the cheese. That is the cheese. It's Saturday morning. That's the cheese. That is the cheese. And it's Saturday morning. We're waking up and going to the pumpkin patch. Hey, that's the cheese.

Like, that's cool. I'm going to start that down here. That's the cheese. That's the cheese. I like this. Yeah. Yeah. So complete accident.

I said, oh, that's cool. It's like a northern phrase for like, that's that's a cheese. That's the cheese. And she said, no, it just reminds me of like Sargento. Like that could be like a cheese. Like Fresno seems like a type of cheese. That that that's a stretch and a half. She's not coming to Yosemite.

No, that is not the cheese. That is not the cheese. Oh, please. Let's let's bring that. That needs to be a T-shirt. That's the cheese. That's the cheese. Oh, lattes with Isaac on Saturday morning. That's bring that. I like it. That needs to be a t-shirt. That's the cheese. That's the cheese. Oh, lattes with Isaac on Saturday morning?

That's the cheese. That is the cheese. So much cheese. You know, like if something's like just awesome. Oh, there's so much cheese there, man. Dude, what if next Friday we play pickleball and we get Mahomes and Samuel Watkins to come? Oh my gosh, there'd be cheese on cheese on cheese. That'd be so cheese.

That is cheese. Oh, wow wow so much cheese dang wow i got flustered to get that out but i think it was worth it i think yeah i think that was yeah definitely the cheese i think it was definitely the cheese uh-huh i also had another sorry one more um little oopsie daisy and this is freaking not my fault this is sprint slash t-m. I don't know who to blame anymore. Their fault. Tell me. Just real quick. I wrote down T-Mobile is worse than Sprint. Yeah.

T-Mobile is worse than Sprint. And Sprint, everyone's like Sprint sucks. Not compared to what I've been experiencing the last couple of weeks. Go ahead. I don't even know if they've switched over totally yet or what. But whoever's in charge, not the cheese. Not the cheese not the cheese what happened someone dm'd me my like uh my pickup limes video it said like love this um that's

this is the cheese like love this um always a fan of you know fruit-based humor, something like that. Sure. A little fun, a little playful. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Make the shoulders move. No, so it's supposed to be pick up lines and it's a pun. I'll write it down for you. Aren't you glad I said it?

Citrus, they're all citrus-based jokes. Oh, man. That's the cheese. Yeah, that's the cheese. Yeah, that's the cheese. So, I reply back, and I'm in the passenger seat of a moving car, so I guess, you know, the signal can be spotty. Kinda braggadocious of you. Yeah, so I have a sitting shotgun, I called it first, and so we're moving.

And so I say, I'm planning on sending two DMs to this person, like in quick succession. Oh, yeah. But here is what the first one says. Oh, I like this already. I can't believe this is real, by the way. You going to give me any context to what you're sending? I'm just going to tell you what it is. This is like my reply to her being like, love this video.

I'm always a fan of rhyme-based humor or something. My first message says, some guys out there have a foot fetish because my next line was gonna be but do you have a fruit fetish like that was gonna be the message but it would not send it would not send after the first one. Oh, yeah. It's just like, I'm like, it feels like I'm on airplane mode. Nothing's working. That is fake cheese right there. But some guys out there have a foot fetish. Oh, it sent right away.

Ding, ding, ding on her credit score. You look at her profile pictures. Yeah, the second one down is just her and her feet. Like at the pool or something. Yeah, like one of those beach pictures where all you see is their legs and their feet yeah i mean it was so accidentally perfect because that was gonna it's gonna be this would be great like some guys out there have a foot fetish like set it up let's lay a foundation right so do you have a fruit fetish and you were probably texting that right next to each other like back to back like you weren't like boom and then waiting five

minutes what else can i say no it was like they came as a pair. Yeah, you knew what you were saying. I sent them separately. And yeah, it's just like for... You're freaking out. Like you're restarting everything, closing out the app, trying to reopen it. Isaac, can I like log in on your phone? Did you? No.

That would be awesome. Oh my gosh. But yeah, for like multiple minutes, just the message, some guys out there have a foot fetish, like stood by itself. And it says seen. And you're like, oh no.

Luckily it did it. I was able to get a second shot off in time. Maybe. Or maybe you just didn't know it got seen because your phone wasn't connected to the data. That's true. I don't know what she saw or anything. That's always a risky thing.

I have like, not qualms, but I think it's interesting when people text like five things in a row. Sometimes I do it too. But like, yeah, some people will say like, like, it'll be like, Hey, are you able to come today? And they'll be like, um, enter. I think so. Enter. I have this, this, and this, but I should be able to come after that. Enter. I'm like, it seems a little unnecessary. Yeah, totally. It's that only bugs me when it's a group message. Then that fires me up. Read the room. Especially when it's like seven in the morning.

Like I have I have do not disturb on my phone till seven, like 715. All of a sudden, all these things are getting on blast. It's like 4th of July. I'm like, what's happened? Come on, guys. Is someone checking my credit score? Where are these dings coming from? Read the room.

Yeah. Too many dings. That is not cheese. Come on. I've seen cheese. That's not the cheese. Oh. Too many dings. That is not cheese. Come on. I've seen cheese. That's not the cheese. Oh, man. Yeah.

Let's do another voicemail. Okay. Great. Let's sprinkle them. That would be the cheese. This one says it's three seconds. Hey, Brick. Hey, Brick.

Thank you, Caleb. Hey, Brick. Do you think that was on purpose i don't know i don't know also did we ever call ourselves like it sounded like he was gonna say break and chat or whatever which i don't know if we've ever done that i don't know if we have either but so many people do it i don't know where that comes from uh i break hey hey brick it's i don't know i'll try i'm trying to imagine like what happened like maybe he was about to record and then he saw like the cop like pull him over he's like driving he's like hey brick could be could have been sprint could be could Could be. Could have been going through the drive-thru

and trying to convince the guy to give him some fries. He's like, hey, Brett. Can I have some fries? Can I have some fries for me? Breaks on the phone. Or not on the phone. That's the cheese, but I want some fries. Does that make sense? You guys have cheese fries?

That would be the cheese. That would be the cheese if you got some fries on the cheese. But if you just gave me any kind of fries, it'd be the cheese. No, no, I don't want cheese on there. No cheese. Sans cheese. I want a cheeseburger, no cheese. Is that what your sister said?

Yeah, yeah. It's for Caitlin. Yeah, yeah. She said it would be the cheese. That is a callback. Yeah. In a half. Early episode.

Early episode. Deep track. Good memory. Deep tracks only. Oh, man. Let's do another one. Let's do another voicemail. Okay.

Hey, Brick. Hey, Jake and Brad. memory deep tracks only oh man uh let's do another one let's do another voicemail okay hey jake and brad this is sarah from florida i am new to the podcast and really enjoying it so far um i am a native of florida love my home state we have the best beaches ever um but we are understandably the brunt of many jokes for many reasons. So I would love to hear the Jake and Brad take on Florida in general. And is there anything you would want to say to this wonderful state currently? Thanks, guys. All the best. Well, first of all, I think it's just really silly to have any kind of opinions about other cities or states. Just kidding. Florida. I'm sure that there's lots of reasons that they have stereotypes that they do, but every time I've ever been in Florida, it's been wonderful.

It's been not bad. My aunt and uncle and cousins live in Florida, outside of Tampa. Valrico. Oh. Spanish for- The Rico. Valrico. The Rico.

I don't know. It's wonderful. I don't know if I know either. Spanish for the Rico, Valrico, the Rico. Um, I don't know. It's wonderful. I don't know if I know either. I know that Tom Brady lives there now. I, the only time I've ever been to Florida and it's not like at the beach though, is Orlando.

And that was cool too. Cause it was just Orlando, but, but I'm sure that like, I don't know. Jacksonville. I don't think no Jacksonville is on a beach too. Yeah.

It's, it's coastal Tallahassee. I don't think Tallahassee is on a beach. And the panhandle. Yeah. I don't, I don't know if Jacksonville, I don't think. No, Jacksonville's on a beach, too. Yeah, it's coastal. Tallahassee. I don't think Tallahassee's on a beach. In the panhandle. Yeah, I don't know if I want that swamp. Like, I think of, like, really humid swamp towns, and I don't want to sweat out there. I don't want to go there and sweat out.

I don't know how much it gets Florida. No, me neither. I think it's fascinating. Remember that trend that was going around? You Google your birthday and type in Florida man? That was crazy. Oh, that's right. Like, yeah, crazy, like all these different. Let's do it right now real quick. you google your birthday and type in Florida man that was crazy oh that's right like yeah crazy like all these different let's do it right now

I don't think I ever did it because I was like oh I'm too individualistic I'm not going to do a trend that anyone else does oh yeah Florida man August 27th you got a good one I don't even I haven't even read it all yet just Florida man dressed as Fred Flintstone

Florida man dressed as Fred Flintstone. Florida man dressed as Fred Flintstone pulled over for driving footmobile. Wow. It's like a smart car. It's going to be tough to beat that. If you're on Instagram, if you're on YouTube right now, check it out. Wow. There he is.

That's pretty sweet, though. Yeah. That's an innovative Florida man. Mine is Florida man, comma, drunken, naked, comma, allegedly set house on fire and failed cookie baking attempt. So you just make it some cookies, but naked and set his house on fire. That's the only way to do it. So I think we can say we love Florida on this podcast. Sure.

Florida's great. If you want to invite me to come to your beach house in Florida, I will go. I will be free that weekend. I'll make the cookies. Three-piece suit. Not going to day which three. That's right. Yeah, I've been to Florida a lot, and it's always been great.

That was like the only place we ever used to vacation back in the day. I one time left to Miami Airport, took an Uber to get a camera battery that I thought I didn't have, but it was just in a different compartment of my backpack that I normally put it in. There were some crazy stories about that. I feel like Catherine told me that was on Trinidad trip. Yeah, I think so. And Catherine wasn't there.

And so it was just you and Peter like running the show. I think so. And then you left. And I think it just stressed the heck out of Peter. Did it? He's just a stressed guy anyway, I think. We had a 12 and a half hour layover in Miami. So it wasn't like.

Surely, yeah, I'll be fine. Like they're high school kids. I think maybe they wrote the wrong, like they spelled somebody's name wrong on the manifest or something. Yeah, Peter. Not the manifest, but you know what I'm saying. Brin Slattery. Okay.

He wrote like slaughterly. Like they're in two L's. Not even her last name it's like i don't know this girl that well but let me just not double check her last name right you get on an international trip so this is not a good episode for peter peaty boy that was a nightmare when we first got to that first airport yes so that's what i was thinking of i think that's how we got to mi. It was classic Catherine. Like, and of course I wasn't there. So I didn't check.

I would have totally checked all that. She's right though. Yeah. Yeah. I think by the time we got to Miami, it was chill, but I was freaking out. I was like, dang, I was going to make this whole video on Trinidad and I didn't bring a camera battery. I'm so stupid.

It was in, it was in the side pocket. I never put it in the side pocket. Oh boy. Took an Uber to Miami camera store and back. And it sucked. That's all we got. But Florida's great. Florida's great.

Okay, wow. Got a lot from that voice memo. Okay, we're pausing. Intermittent. Pause. Here's some random observation that I have. I have kids. I have kids.

What? I have friends now that have kids that are old enough to play baseball, like t-ball. Oh, that's sweet. It is. I can't wait. I want my kid to start out at seven, I think he's gonna be so cute when she plays you think she'll be good no i don't i don't know we'll see she loves like playing ball which is really just fetch i've learned yeah somebody messaged me the other day when i posted on instagram like are you

playing fetch with your daughter i was like i guess i kind of am. But anyway, no, all my friends, for whatever reason, like they post these pictures of their kids, like T-ball team picks. And their kid is always with a shirt untucked and no hat. Every other kid tucked in shirt hat. But you're friends with people who don't do that. I'm serious. Four different friends of mine on Facebook. Oh, that's weird.

What does it mean? I think I have bad friends. My friends are bad baseball Facebook. That's weird. What does it mean? I think I have bad friends. My friends are dumb. Bad baseball friends. Their response? Maybe it just means they're so social and they're so like, they're about the bigger things in life and not about the details. Maybe that. Maybe. Or maybe they're just bad parents. Maybe they just

don't respect the game that built this country. Come on. It's America's pastimes. Yeah. Teddy Williams. Get you a Frankfurter and a tucked in shirt please please with a ball cap i don't know you up on top i mean it was just it was just like this is such a weird observation like why why why all my friends like every single time it's funny which one now which one's his his son there he is like looking sloppy as ever sloppy joe over. Made him extra sloppy for you. Anyway, I don't know.

I don't know what else to say beyond that, really. But it's just like, why is an interesting pattern? So, yeah. New mic stand. We haven't talked about that yet. Let's talk about it. You can see Brad's face more on YouTube now. We fixed it.

How's it look? Mom, tell tell us. Approve, mom. You're fifteen dollars on Patreon. Did that, mom? Appreciate it. Thank you. look? Mom? Tell us. Approve, Mom. Your $15 on Patreon did that, Mom. Appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah, thank you to the patrons. Thanks for what you do.

And the troops. Supporting us. Yeah, of course. The patrons on both sides as well. Those who support us and those who don't. Brad, I was in Olathe this week. America's pastime. Besides baseball.

Do you know that it's... So Olathe is my hometown, for anybody who doesn't know. Do you know that it's so late? This is my hometown for anybody who doesn't know. Do you know that its slogan is City of Champions? No. I think that's so cool. That is cool. How did they get that or earn that or name that? Just win, baby.

Just win, baby, win. Just win a lot? I don't know. I really don't know why that is. We did win a lot of state championships back in the day, but I don't know. It's not all about sports, right? You can have an untucked shirt every now and then. Yeah, yeah.

It's fine. In Olathe, city of champions. I was in Olathe, driving down Black Bob Street. Sure. A staple of Olathe. Black Bob Elementary, Brad Ellis. Yeah. From the little I know about Olathe, that's what I know, is that Black Bob is like a big

street. I live right off Black Bob. So something else that's off Black Bob is a family video store. Uh-huh-huh yeah i had not seen one of those in so many years yes i drove by it once and i'm just like think i just can't stop thinking about it like i can't believe family videos there and it looks massive still yeah it looks like it's bigger and better than ever how's it doing how's it doing that blockbuster's been out for years exactly like i cannot get this off my mind i'm just like how is it doing uh-huh sorry i got something it's like the micro center of video rental place at rentals yeah it's so it's about like two hours later and i drive by it again i'm like i gotta go in we gotta do something i gotta go in market research

i don't know what i'm expecting to see but i just i have to go in and see it uh-huh and let's see i'm trying to think like we go in there and a guy's like working on the shelves like what could he possibly be doing he's like reorganizing some DVDs. Like you're not working. You're not doing anything. He saw you park. So he's like, I got to go get on the shelves real quick. I was the only one in there.

So that didn't bode well for like, oh, they must be secretly doing well. Yeah. One theory is that the back room might be keeping them in business. Uh-huh. Yeah. I went back there and got some stuff and it wasn't very popular. Okay. No, I'm just kidding.

So I still don't know why they're in business, but I don't know if this is just my sense of humor, but I love this. So I look around the store for a while. I mean, like 10 minutes. Yeah. Which is a while for not having any interest buying anything. The Dark Knight was on. Like the TV.

I love how they have like movies just randomly playing all the time in those places if you guys don't remember what movies are you aren't aware of what you're renting yeah this is it or if you just don't have enough money to rent one just stay here yeah stay here and post up yeah yeah what do you think the threshold is how long could you sit at a family video over like you gotta buy something man you gotta go you gotta buy it or go crap or get off the rental store. 25 minutes? What do you think? More or less, they tell you you gotta leave. More.

Those guys are lonely. They're wanting people to help them stack shelves. What if it's sitting? Oh, sitting? You're not even... Okay, yeah, this is a new question. On the floor, no chair? You're using one of the family video chairs that they have.

It looks like a director's chair. I think it's decoration. Oh, fun. But you post one of those up in front of the family video chairs that they have. It looks like a director's chair. I think it's decoration. Oh, fun. But you post one of those up in front of the TV and watch it. How long? 34 minutes. This would be fun to try. 34 minutes.

And after 34 minutes, it's like, so, I thought, are you waiting for somebody? And you just play dumb. Like, oh, well, I mean, it's family video. I thought you could just come in and watch a video. Yeah, my family's coming. That's family video. They're coming. come in and like watch a video my family's coming that's family coming i'm not bringing like outside drinks or anything but it's coming to watch we are bringing outside videos though it's family video right like i can bring some yeah some home movies and stuff yeah but anyway so i was in there for like 10 minutes and that's a long time just like my sense of humor i was like i i want to do this so

bad and so after looking around all these different ds, I eventually check out and I buy a pack of M&Ms. It's probably the best margins they have are the candy, the milk duds. Yeah. I just imagined, I mean, I didn't do this, but it'd be great to walk in and it's like, hey, I mean, like almost frantic. Do you guys have peanut M&Ms? No.

God, no one has them right now. I cannot get them. They're all online. Yeah. No. God. No one has them right now. I cannot get them. You have a shortage. They're all online. Yeah. Yeah, right. Like, gosh, I could stream M&Ms, but I can't get them right now. I can't get them in my house.

And any of the mouths I try to put in are obsolete. They don't work anymore. All the formats I have don't work. Oh, that reminds me, too. I forgot. They have VHS? When I... I didn't see VHS.

A lot of Blu-ray, which I don't even know where that goes. What do you mean? Or, like, IHS, a lot of Blu-ray, which I don't even know where that goes. What do you mean? Or like, I guess it goes in a Blu-ray player. But like, does anyone have a Blu-ray player anymore? I don't really know anybody that had one. I don't know that many people. It came at the wrong time. Like that technology.

Yeah, they yeah, they barely missed it. Yeah. But speaking of obsolete, it had been many, many moons since I've checked out from a video rental store. And so I pay for the M&Ms and I'm like waiting for it. He's like, you need to receive that. I'm like, no, I'm good. And he's just like holding him like in front of his chest. I'm not saying anything, but my hands kind of out like, can I have my M&Ms?

And I forgot, you know, you have to like walk through the security. Around the corner thing. He wouldn't hand me my M&Ms. I forgot about that. I forgot about it too. I'm just standing there staring at this guy like an idiot. Why do the M&M's not in good need to go? Just hand them to me.

Oh, I forgot about that. Me too. Oh, I remember they were like, you brought a case of the movie. Yes, yes, yes. Right? And you gave them the case and then they would go get the DVD, like whatever, and put it in the corner and you have to go around a little scanner thing. Oh my God.

So even with M&Ms, they make it work for it a little bit. Yeah. I got to walk through the metallic thing, the magnetic, whatever. Dude, speaking of starting at a wrong time, those family, that family video has not been there very long. Really? Like probably five years. I was gonna say the family video in Springfield is kind of at my house.

Went up when I was in high school probably yeah i think that i don't know about that one but i've seen some of them they're like trying to go pretty hard on the cbd oh yeah this one train oh yeah one of them was connected to a pizza place this is the one okay is that is that what we talked about this is a podcast maybe no oh this this place is connected to a pizza the one that i went to was connected to a pizza place and was selling cbd okay a lot they're trying to find other streams of revenue because multiplicity rentals from Michael Keaton are not doing it for him. Anyway, that's wild.

So I still have no clue how they're staying in business, but it was a great walk down memory lane. Gosh, seriously, that's fun. The walkthrough. I completely forgot about the walkthrough. I loved, I'm getting jacked like there's got to be other things like that that we need to like have a segment on like things in our childhood that just don't happen anymore that are just so you can you can almost like barely

remember them yeah oh it's it was so fun on like friday night to go to a blockbuster and figure out like what video game to rent or like what yeah yeah what movie to rent oh so good and then sometimes i go with like my friends and their their parents are a little bit richer and so they'd be like you guys can get three movies and one of them can be a new release oh no shouldn't have serious shouldn't have it's like a whole wall of like i am legend i'm not mowing the lawn tomorrow i'm gonna watch this new release all weekend oh my gosh it was good Did you ever rent video games? Yes. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. I always wanted to, but I never really did.

Really? They were too expensive. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I definitely rented some.

I remember for whatever reason, specifically Excitebike on N64 was one that I rented a lot. Oh man. Good times. Gosh. It really is such an experience. Yeah. So the friend that I was with was saying like

yeah maybe it is the adult films that are like keeping them in business and for a while i was like yeah maybe but then i was like no because i think you go in the store for that nostalgic like experience like if if you're gonna do it anymore like that's why and i don't think like oh i just missed going back yeah i'd yeah i just i would be surprised if hard copy adult films are really flying off the shelves wrong word i'm just kidding what did i say hard copy oh um i can i put this on a floppy disk hello i'd recommend a hard drive that's the cheese that is the cheese my gosh no i maybe it's just the old people. I'm trying to think of things that my grandma does.

There was a big kids section, which I also thought maybe could have been it. But YouTube Kids is also pretty popular. And Disney Plus really brought it out. Oh, yeah. You don't need that as much. If you're 10 or under, you're going to love Disney Plus. Oh, my gosh. It's true.

If you're 10 or older, you watch Hamilton and then you're good. Well, you get it for like a week and you have all these nostalgic movies. You're like, I forgot about the Big Green. I forgot about Rookie of the Year. And then it's like, I watched one of those five that I forgot about and now it's like, what do I do now? That's good. Yeah, I watched Avatar and that was it. That's all I've ever seen on Disney Plus. I haven't even watched Hamilton yet.

Yeah, me neither. Well, parts of it. Anyway. Okay, voicemail? Please That'd be the cheese What is up, Jake and Brad? This is David from Northwest Arkansas Former SBU Bearcat

Played football there for four years Lived in Landon Hall my freshman year So saw Jake around the dorm here and there So that's pretty neat Landon Hall? So my question is for Brad It pertains to fast food And underrated fast food So that's pretty neat. Landon Hall? So my question is for Brad. It pertains to fast food and underrated fast food.

I believe that Arby's is the most underrated fast food restaurant there is. I think they've got a great variety of sandwiches that are delicious. Oh, boy. And they have, by far, hands down, the best fast food cookies there are the salted chocolate caramel you're not going to get anything better than those anywhere else uh maybe there's an irrationally strong opinion in there somewhere maybe and if so i'd love to hear it bye bye oh man arby's jake was adjusting the uh phones had to check on the uh battery. We're good. So yeah, I recognize that name Did he said he's a bear cat? Yeah, I totally remember him. Yeah, yeah, Lane and all baby he said that Arby's was the

Most under he didn't say it was the best. It was the most underrated fast-food chain in America. Interesting. Do they sell white meat? I don't even know if I can eat there No, that's the thing like and and that's why I don't really feel like I can truly contribute to this But I think Arby's is trash. it's because i don't like roast beef i think in general like okay i don't really get excited about roast beef and that's i mean they have the meats they have the they have the awesome commercials boom boom boom boom boom boom we have the meats katherine loves that she gets she goes hype every time that's interesting yeah you should see her sometime maybe i'll try to patreon record or something next time next time we watch a commercial we

haven't watched commercials in years um but no arby's sorry david i don't have well jamocha shakes they're really good they're like what is that chocolate with a little coffee flavor and milkshakes those are really good i. I haven't tried the cookies. That makes me think of the, uh, Luke Crenshaw, two cookies in a water. There was one time where I don't know who was picking up who from the airport. So one of us, one of the three of us picked up the other one from the airport. Yeah. Uh, one of Jake's old roommates, Luke Crenshaw and, uh, Luke's awesome. He's got a low voice, like super manly man whatever like great guy and uh he was ordering what was he trying to order do you remember i mean something kind of a little different or like at mcdonald's and he'd been flustered like they didn't totally have it i mean maybe

it was that like slushy thing that we had ordered before oh maybe yeah like hey do you guys have this and they're like no no and it was probably it was pretty late at night so maybe that's why they were doing the whole McDonald's thing. This is closed. This doesn't work. And he just so dejected just goes, I'll just get two cookies and a water. And the way he said it was just like, oh.

And the cookies come in three packs, I think. Yeah, it's three for a dollar. Why would you do two and a water? I think it was so funny because whatever he was trying to order was so different than two cookies and a water. It was like, can I get a hamburger and like a frozen Coke? Right, right. It's like, well, our fryer's off and our ice machine is down.

Sure, yeah. Okay, I'll just take two cookies and a water. Throw in a few fries. Where did that come from? Yeah, yeah. I don't know, man. Did I tell you I got to see Crenshaw a few weeks ago when I was down in Branson for the pickleball tournament?

Oh, you did? Oh, man. Reed Towns texted me and was like, hey, Crenshaw said, because it was a changeover day at K1, he's like, Crenshaw said you should roll through and act like you're dropping some kids off. And so I went through the parent line with all the other parents and had Isaac in the back seat. Like, hey, I got a kid in the back,

we're hoping for cabin 12, unreal deal. But yeah, I got to see Reed and Crenshaw. And they're like, that guy 6-3 What's going on there? He's reading magazines Luke Crenshaw is one of the funniest guys I know and he would have been amazing at that pickleball tournament like Commentating or do it something like he had like his humor is so funny with that kind of thing like like observational. Yes inside joke Oh my gosh, I miss him Oh, he would have been so funny at that pickleball tournament.

Like just over there, like Vern Lundquist on the sidelines, just commentating the whole thing. Anyway, let's take two cookies and water. Sorry, David, for not having a better answer for the Arby's thing. But you don't like it. No, I genuinely say, not even prompted by David,

like I'll eat almost any fast food except for Arby's. I'm trying to think of other ones. I've never really been to a Jack in the Box, I don't think. So I don't think I would say I'll eat almost any fast food except for Arby's. I'm trying to think of other ones that I've never really been to a Jack in the box. I don't think so. I don't think I would say I would eat there. Went there with Peter. Love you, Peter. Love you, Peter. Peter would love the Jack in the box. Anyway, beyond that, I think Arby's is the only place I'm like, no, thank you. Dang. So I don't think I've ever been. It may not ever get to go. Would you ever get excited about a roast beef sandwich, though?

Is that all they have? They should have pork and stuff, right? I think they do now. They have the meats, but I don't know. They have a fish sandwich. I think I would not get roast beef. Yo, speaking of fish, I saw a food truck this weekend. I was like, oh, that's cool.

What is that food truck? It said it was called Hook or Hooked or something. And it was like now serving Alaskan cod. Oh, yeah, that's fresh. Not what I was expecting of a food truck it was a reason the like combination of like food truck in a parking lot and fish like that just seems disgusting oh like kansas like saturday afternoon like in the midwest it's hot no no no you can't do that there's a really good one a shark tank uh success story was like main

lobster up up in like boston or maine or wherever they did it. And it's really successful. But in Kansas, you can't. You can't bring Alaskan cod. I don't care how, like it's not fresh. Anything else, Brad? Voice memo? What did you say? What did you say?

That. Whatever that was. Sure. Sure to what? The voice memo. Oh, okay. Great. Hey, Brad and Jake.

This is Sharon from Virginia. And like many others, I feel like y'all are my best friends. Oh, okay. Great. Hey, Brad and Jake. This is Sharon from Virginia. And like many others, I feel like y'all are my best friends. So I wanted to call. Cool. Just kind of level the playing field a little bit. First, I got a golden retriever puppy this spring. And yes, they are the best dogs ever. I'm currently teaching him a trick where he goes into a prayer position.

It's amazing. Pretty sure he also thinks y'all are his best friends too, because he just hears your voice. He's on the reg. I'm a fifth grade teacher trying to wrap my mind around virtual school this fall. Would love to have you guys crash my class. Brad, your job involves actual math, which kids never believe they're going to use. And Jake, most fifth graders want to be YouTubers when they grow up. So you would be an inspiration.

Cool. I have two questions for you guys. One is any ideas for some cool tricks that you've seen dogs do that I could work on. And two, who was your favorite elementary school teacher and why? Just need some inspiration for the fall. Thanks for the laughs. Love you guys. Thanks, Sharon. Love you too. Sharon, we love you. Best friend, Sharon. I cannot wait to go back and look at the YouTube version of our faces. Prayer pose? I taught my dog the prayer position. What is that?

For Hattie, we have her fold her hands, close her eyes, and bow her head. So maybe the dog does all that? Huh? I don't know. I want to see that dog. Yeah, what is a dog's prayer? I mean, maybe prayer position is a yoga pose. I'm sure it is.

That's got to be. Oh, downward dog is one. So maybe dogs don't call it that though. It's like offensive. Like you can't say that to dogs. So you call it prayer position. Yeah, that's probably what it is. Good for that dog.

And thank you, Sharon, for assuming that we know yoga pose positions. Yeah. Pretty cool of you. That's a best friend move. Pretty cool of you. First question. Dog tricks. Man.

I've talked about the dog on TikTok before, right? Who has been taught English. No. That doesn't sound familiar. I haven't mentioned that. No. Go look up. I think the account's called like What About Bunny.

There's some underscores in there. Figure it um wait sorry i was kind of you it learned english is that what you said yeah it's pretty crazy i discovered this dog like you know people are like i i listened to bonnie vera before they're big yeah i found this english-speaking dog before it was verified on tiktok i really did i feel like i helped this dog get to where it is now because i told so many people about it tell me more about this i don't understand what there are like these kind of toys they're probably for like little kids or something but you can like i assume you hold down the button it's like an easy button type apparatus like that like plastic button okay so imagine easy button just a big button and i'm guessing you hold it down and you program it in so you hold it down

you'll say outside then you have another one you hold down and you program it in. So you hold it down, you say outside. Then you have another one. You hold down and you say potty or whatever. And so she started with like maybe five or six different buttons that the dog could press. And when the dog would press it, it would say the mom's voice. And now this dog has, I don't know, 35 buttons. And it's not like speaking full sentences. Yeah, but it's pretty crazy.

But it's like if they need to go to the bathroom, it'll say outside potty now, please. Yes. Sharon. Yeah. Or it'll say like, play. And then, you know, play outside. It's like, you want me to play with you? And it'll say like, no, dad.

And that's what I was like, whoa, OK, it knows. So it can like respond. It usually takes it a while. OK. It will think about it for a while. There was one cool story where it had something wrong with it intestinally or internally, and it kept saying, like, ouch, ouch. And so they took it to the vet, and we wouldn't have seen this for another week or two.

And it maybe saved its life, we'll say. That sounds extreme. Yeah, it was deathbed. Dog deathbed down to prayer position. We forgot to pray, Sharon. Let's get in to the prayer position. Yeah, look at that. It's a pretty cool dog.

Okay, that's better than anything I can say. I thought I'd already said that on the podcast. My goodness. Sorry. I think you're getting into too many podcasts. You can't remember them. I did four last week, dude. Four? Yeah. How? How?. I did four last week, dude. Four.

Yeah. How? How? You got. Let's just shout him out. I. Ghost Runners. Number one.

I did Ghost Runners podcast available now on YouTube, Apples and Spotify. Yeah. And then. Or wherever podcasts are sold. Wherever you can buy them or sell them. Digital copies. Hard copies. Daily video.

Soft copies. Yeah. You want them on the floppy disk green lumber copies then Trey and I have one do less God bless do less God bless and then Trey and I have a bonus one

that's behind a paywall we did two of those last week because we got a little behind from Nashville had to double up how was that are you just exhausted

like is it do you two in a row for the do less guest one I think it was just I did Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday okay I recorded so it was fine i'm getting used to it but yeah you get a stamina probably for it yeah but it's definitely like i'm sure if i did one a week i would be funnier yeah or yeah i don't know do you try to like siphon out like hey i'm gonna talk about this stuff over here i'm gonna try to do this kind of comedy here because it's obviously not that

different that you're talking in all of them, you know? I'll be honest. All my best, like, life happenings are coming here to the Ghost Riders. Hey, let's go! That's the cheese. Saving that for here. You hear that, Trey? Some guys out there have a foot fetish.

Save that for here. Oh, man. That's awesome. I haven't figured out, like, which things I things i should like filter for trey or for this whatever i'm just kind of like just still figuring it out yeah so it's fine luckily podcasts are very easy you're just talking right and i've said before how much i enjoy leaving voicemails like that should have been a clue to me five years ago like hey i'm the only guy my age leaving four minute long voicemails you should start a podcast because you love to hear yourself talk yeah you'll

you'll yeah and you think other people really want to hear it, too. No, you want me to keep going. Yeah, you want me to keep talking. Favorite elementary school teacher, Brad. Miss Meyer, baby. First and second grade. We looped with her. It sounds like you got held back.

First. So it was first grade. It was first grade. And then I went on to second grade. But I was with some younger kids. And we kind of learned the same thing. And none of my classmates from last year were with me. A, B, C, D.

Outside. Outside. Outside. Outside. Slide. That's the cheese. Gouda. I don't know.

No, Ms. Meyer, for whatever reason, I guess they needed second grade teachers. And so we had this opportunity. Anybody can stick with Miss Meyer from first to second grade. And so it was like the same class two years in a row. And so my friend Scott was in there with me. It was awesome. It was awesome. And so she was great.

You, Scott, Miss Meyer? Oh, that's it. Everyone else bailed for some reason. I don't know. No, she was just really cool she was she was energetic positive wonderful i just i appreciate teachers a lot and miss meyer is no exception shout out to the teachers out there shout out to the teachers yeah i i come from a lineage of teachers not in my family like immediately but but that's why your last name is Ellis. Yeah. Ellis in, I think it's German.

Swedish. Ellis in Swedish means to teach. Yes. Yes. To teach academically. Sorry. Not physically or athletically. To teach academically.

That's right. Yeah. The Swedes. Two things they did right. Ikea and Logos. You know, the language. That's right. Thank you guys.

Mine was probably Mr. Estelle, fourth grade teacher. Mr. He was a guy. Yeah, we didn't have any elementary school teachers that were guys. Really? At Black Bob Elementary. I had Mr. Schultz and Mr. Estelle. You had them both?

Yeah. That's awesome. I think it'd be awesome to have a male elementary school teacher. Oh, it was awesome. Yeah. And I'm kind of just now thinking about this. So, you know, I have that weird thing, the synesthesia thing. Yeah. Which I think I have that too. Really? I think. Did you notice it when you started driving? Uh, no. What do you mean? That's when I first noticed it. Once I started taking music, like I wanted to listen back to the podcast where we talked about, uh, words versus

music. Cause I thought maybe I said it on the podcast that I like, I see colors when I listen to music, but maybe anyway, synesthesia you talked about and do us. God bless. Yeah. Great podcast. The main thing is almost as good as ours, Trey. The main thing is with music, but every now and then, like I talked about in that podcast, like I had blue pop on green pop off.

That's right. And like certain words and numbers. I feel like that's why I was good at mental math back in the day. Because like even numbers were always like a stronger color and it was easier to add it up. Okay. I'm just remembering that Mr. Schultz was blue. Oh, really? As blue as the sky.

I'm just now remembering that. I'm like, whoa, that's weird. That dude was blue. It's because of the Eiffel 65 song that came out. I'm blue. Mr. Schultz. I don't know. But Mr. Estelle.

I remember that was the first teacher I ever saw like cry. He read us Walk Two Moons. Okay. And he started crying while reading it because it's like a very emotional book, I guess. Really? I was like, whoa, emotion from a guy. This is new to me. This is, my dad's never done that.

Interesting. Yeah. That's also where I read Holes for the first time. Was what grade? Fourth? Fourth. Yeah. That's also where I read holes for the first time. Was what grade? Fourth? Fourth. Yeah. Man, I read it in fifth.

Well, probably because it came out that same. Oh, I was going to say, well, I mean, it was. Everyone else was in fourth grade. But you for whatever reason. They told you it was fifth grade, but it was fourth grade. They said it was fifth. Oh, Stanley Yelnats. It was hard for me to figure out because I was seeing colors and it was seeing a mirror.

Yellow spotted lizards. The whole thing's been yellow. Yeah. Sploosh. That's not a color. God's thumb. You know what? It's a person of color.

That's how I see it. God's thumb. That's right. It's not white. POC. Yeah. Shout out Mr. Estelle. He listens to the pod, I think.

I think so. I mean, everyone in Stratford does. I think so. I've looked up who listens. We can see you. We can think so. I mean, everyone in Stratford does. I think so. I've looked up who listens. We can see you. We can see everyone. I see how long you listen to. Speaking of teachers, I just got to give a quick shout out to the Klein.

They're underpaid. They're underpaid. They are. They should get paid. Whatever. They really should get paid more. Yeah, they really are. I was going to get sarcastic sounding, but I really do think they're underpaid.

Yeah. But shout out to teachers, especially the Klein sisters who sent Hattie, my daughter, a bunch of books this week. Oh, that's awesome. One of them is called the wonky donkey. And every single page, it just gets more and more like words on it. Wonky. And so it's like the tonky wonky donkey, the honky tonky wonky donkey.

Anyway, all this Hattie thought it was so funny. It sounds like that Chattahoochee country song. Yes, I think I know what you're talking about, maybe. Same author? Same ghostwriter, probably. Same ghostwriter. Ghostrunners. Oh.

That's what we're called. Too many podcasts. No, yeah. Honky wonky donkey donkey. I ran into a ghostrunners. Sorry, we'll get back to honky wonky. No, that's it. Thank you, clan sisters. Ran into a podcast listener this week in town center is right

You've seen American Vandal, right? On Netflix. Yes. His like Jimmy Tatro's crew is called the Wayback Boys. It kind of reminds me of that. But there's a girl in that group. Oh, that's right. They never address it.

There's randomly a girl as part of the Wayback Boys. Yeah. Oh, the I'm Down Boys. We should think of a challenge and see if they're down for it. Oh. For the I'm Down Boys. The I'm Down Challenge. Maybe like once a month or something.

That's great. We get a video from the I'm Down Boys. See what they did. All right. We'll think about it. Oh, you know what I want to see? Well, what do you have? This is something small, but I really genuinely want to try it out myself, so maybe these guys could do it

I don't want to promote too much hooligan nests in public, but I guess this is kind of that I want to go to Chipotle sometime and just see how long how many times I can ask for a little bit more meat until they charge me for it Like I want to see cuz like I think you can get away with at least one every time like okay I'll take it okay You ask me Hello, sir Like I want to see cuz like I think you can get away with at least one every time like okay Okay, you asked me Hello, sir Hi, how's it going? What can I get started for you today? Can I get a chicken burrito bowl, please with double white rice? Oh? Okay, sir, what are you running that chicken bowl double white, double white rice. Okay. No beans. Double white rice.

Okay. Okay. What did you say about beans? No beans. No beans. Okay, what meat? Chicken. Okay.

I always have to tell them twice. It's so amazing. That's why I'm doing it. Yeah, it's so true. I try to say it all at the beginning. I'm just going to start saying burrito. Actually, can I get a little more chicken, please? Sure.

Do you want double chicken? No, just a little more. Just a little more. Is that okay? Okay. Yeah, yeah. I can do a little bit more. There you go. Can I just get a little more chicken, please? Sure. Do you want double chicken? No, just a little more. Just a little more. Is that okay? Okay. Yeah, yeah. I can do it like a little bit more. There you go.

Can I just get a little bit more? So you do want double chicken? No, I'm sorry. I just want a little bit more. Okay. Just like a few. Okay. Just a few more.

Okay. There. And what? Do you want queso or? Actually, sorry. Can I just get a little bit more? I. So do you want double chicken? No, I'm sorry. I just want a lot of chicken. Okay. Okay. I'll do it. I'll do a little bit more. I. So do you want double chicken?

No, I'm sorry. I just want a lot of chicken. OK. OK, I'll do it. I'll do a little bit more. OK, thank you. OK, now. And what do you want?

Case already sauce salsa today. And I do. I do. But can we go back real quick? Sorry. Sorry, guys. Guys, let's get a little bit more. Sir, this is all the chicken we have in the store.

I'm going to have to talk to my manager if we can. Well, no, no. That guy. He's bringing in more. OK, this is all the chicken we have in the store. I'm going to have to talk to my manager if we can give out. He's bringing in more. He's bringing in more. Chicken working. Let's get a little bit more. Hold on, let me take this out. Okay. Sorry, what kind of queso did you want?

Sorry. I feel like I'm a broken record at this point. Can I just get a little bit more? Just, just like just a few more. Why don't you just tell me when? Yeah,

that's good. That's good. That's good. I genuinely have this thought of like, I think you can at least get away with one time through of saying a little bit more. But I think after that, I also had the thought one time,

um, with Isaac, I had, I thought I broke it, broke the code that I would just say, can I get a lot? Can I get a lot of chicken? Like a tall ice cream cone kind of thing. Yeah.

And I thought like I thought I did it. And then at the very end, they just charged me for double. I was like, OK, you want a lot like double the amount? Sure. That's a rub. We can do two times. I thought the verbiage would get them like, yeah, can I get a lot? That does seem like it could work with the right person

I think it yeah, I tried it once and I paid like three dollars extra and so I was like this is high-risk try a new Oh new word make can I get like a decent amount of chicken? Yeah, maybe go decent decent because they're not gonna give you less Like if you say decent amount, yeah, can I get like a good amount of chicken? Yeah. Yes, that's good a good amount Like like I mean, I'm counting on you. I'm not asking for double'm i'm counting on you i'm not asking for double but i'm counting on you to really not let me down hey like yeah yeah that's perfect i'm not even gonna embellish on it anymore my new chipotle strategy just over the last like week or two which is kind of a strategy all the time but especially i've been like been conscious of it like be overtly like extra nice at the beginning because this is my my burrito is in

their hands yeah it's like you know they're trying to go through the line hey what can you start for you hey how's it going today yeah how you doing yeah but they got the mask on i got the mask on we can barely hear each other you gotta you gotta really show your smile yeah kind of squint with the eyes and let them know you're friendly hey hi yeah how i get a little bit more do you are you enjoying your place of work? Yeah? Are you having a good day? Uh-huh? Oh Yeah, look how I my eyebrows are Right. Okay, so I'm down boys. You got I'm gonna give you guys three options one little challenge Go for the what do you say a little bit more challenge a little bit more a little more chicken challenge

And I think you have to get at least three little bit more before before they say that's the challenge second is if there is these are just options the second is if there is a video rental store see how long you can like sit down in there before they kick you out or the third for the i'm down boys is all six of you or however many try to recreate the back it up, Terry, video. I want you to sit around a firework and just see if you can stay put. Oh, man. Yeah. Or just potentially die. Yeah.

It's going to be firing. Oh, man. That reminds me. It would be the cheese, though. Oh, that would be the cheese. Back it up, Terry. Oh, that is the funniest. One of the funniest videos.

Actually, speaking of a video like that, Catherine's favorite video of all time, I think. That's the meats commercial. We have the meats. There was a video you did with Juggle and Josh, I think, where that ball, like there was some ball in like a campfire. Isn't that crazy? Catherine thought,

so Jake's with Juggle and Josh, some other influencer YouTubers, and they were trying to figure out like what's going to happen with this ball if you light it on fire. They have a special slow motion camera. So they're always trying to think of like, all right, we've done every combination of water balloons and stuff, fire slapping. What else can we do?

And then one of the guys is like, we have a fire extinguisher ball in the garage. And that was really all. Yeah. And it's like, we don't know what this does. Yeah. So obviously you remember way better than I do. in the garage and that was really all yeah and it's like we don't know what this does yeah so obviously you remember way better than i do but like you guys are all just circled around this campfire looking chim you know whatever fire pit and you knew that it was going to explode like you

knew it was going to happen and so you well truthfully i thought something was gonna i thought it was gonna like kind of like skirt outwards like kind of atomic bomb over the fire yeah um and so because because you knew something was going to happen you did like make one of those non-sequitur like punch lines to a joke or something like you had like a line i love that i don't remember what you said i said um he died doing what he loved checking to see if wolves are ticklish and then this thing blows up like just just goes crazy it's amazing we gotta we'll put it in right now put it in right now put it in like six times he died doing what he loved checking to see if wolves are ticklish i like that i like it whoa

i think that katherine like i've never seen katherine laugh harder or watch a video more times consecutively. I think I sent you the video of her watching it. Yeah, you did. Oh my gosh. She thought it was hilarious. We were sitting so close to this thing. Yeah.

You could be dead right now. It was so scary. Like it was a legit explosion. I mean, yeah, it was loud. Oh my gosh. And the fact that you said that line beforehand just makes it like tenfold, like makes it so much funnier to me. I was going to say a funny little joke. Right.

Because this is going to get passed around like four different guys' Instagrams here. This is going to be a great joke. Oh, I mean. You're going to see how funny I am. Oh, it would have been hilarious even if you didn't have the joke. But then the fact that you sprinkled that on top. Oh, my gosh. Like one guy, we're sitting in lawn chairs.

One guy, when the smoke clears, and I'm not even exaggerating, when the smoke clears, he's down on the ground. Like it knocked him backwards in his lawn chair. It was awesome. It's like the, yeah, the Sandlot scene where he just comes out and is, like, covered in the dust. Yeah. All right, fourth challenge for the I'm Down Boys. Sit around a campfire and put a fire extinguisher ball in the middle.

I feel like I have to, like, legally say, like, we are not responsible for any injuries. Yes, if you're a parent of the I'm down boys or just an I'm down boy yourself. I just I just I don't have that much money. So I don't. My credit's great, but I could probably charge it. But I can't I can't give it all to you right now. I would talk to the milk lady in Walmart. She would help cover it.

Oh, but I don't know if I could say if I can help much more than that. The I'm down boys. That's awesome. They're my new favorite people that I don't love. The I'm down boys. Oh my God. Michigan. So he said Traverse City, Michigan, baby. I wonder if I'm going up there. Traverse City, Michigan. Oh, you like you would like it up here. Oh, we'd be the bell of the ball. Oh man, that's great. Let's wrap this episode up. Let's do a little review of the week, Brad. Please start because I don't have mine pulled up. Okay. This was kind of fun. I don't have mine pulled up. Okay.

I've been a fan of Jake's for a while, but recently decided to give the podcast a try. I am hooked. I usually listen while I'm driving, and I found myself actually driving the posted speed limit to extend the length of my

drive to listen to Jake and Brad as much as possible. I even noticed myself slowing down on the highway to let other drivers merge or change lanes Yeah, thank you ghost hunters for making me a better person and for cracking me up while I'm in my car by myself Thank You Jen, that's really nice and funny that you've even noticed that about yourself Like wow, I'm driving the speed limit because I want this podcast to that is cool.

My favorite part of every episode is Brad singing the theme song to a new tune every time. Today was the Friends theme song, and it was absolutely perfect. It was nice. As soon as he was done singing, I wrote this review.

Brad is so talented. That's awesome. Thank you, Mom. I was going to say, that's cool your mom chose that username. I bet this can't be Google-able more than one time yeah anyway thank you that's so sweet and kind it is uh okay let's end this one uh with a jingle brad yeah does that sound good you have a song in mind uh actually another person um manda okan uh did write a review um another very kind one that i could read all about um she says i think it's adorable that brad brad or like katherine's brad's babe of the week

No not really

It sounds it's it's definitely inspired by Lady. I think it's like a one-hit wonder. As far as I know, Ava Max. Oh, no, no. She's huge. No, I think it's a shoe. Ava Max. Nike Ava Max. Ava Max 5. Yeah, it's hard to find them in stores. You gotta get the digital. You gotta stream it. You can't go to Footlogger anymore. You gotta get

the CBD. Yeah, get a pizza. Get some Ava Maxes. That song went higher than I was expecting it to. I did notice at times it seemed higher than what you would have preferred it to be. I'll say this. I'll admit this one thing. Trey is probably better than me at singing. He probably would have killed that.

Kill him. Oh, thank you, Spock. I thought of you this week because we did that Plant Moms video, and we did a pun on the peony flower or plant and so he's riding is it peony? We don't know. Oh, she can say peony. Riding my peony. That's the most

classic like bachelor thing to think it's peony. Oh, yeah. I love that. Video a day. We don't have time to look things up. It looks like it. P-E-O. That's peony. Speaking of another thing that I would never have known things up it looks like it it's the p.o p.e.o that's peony speaking of uh another another uh thing that i would never have known if i wasn't married it's fiddle leaf fig i know that oh i thought you said fiddly fig on the uh podcast i might have but i it's fiddle leaf okay okay okay

i yes katherine loves her fiddle leaf fig fiddly fig yeah i don't do a great job of pronouncing it like silver city so far so i say it's so easy so i say it's embrace the next wire Catherine loves her fiddle leaf fig. Fiddle leaf fig. Yeah, I don't do a great job of pronouncing it. Like Silverlar City? Silverlar City. Silverlar City. That's interesting. Silverlar City. It's in Branson. It's a YR.

That was fun. I might just sing that one for fun later. You did a good job. That seems like a hard song to sing, which is most songs for me. I love it when people write the words for me. Thank you so much for that. That's so much more fun than making it up myself for me and for everyone listening. And we still got plenty of time. We can't monetize youtube until we're at a thousand subscribers we're getting like 10 a week so it's a slow grind so we got it come on so you guys can either

subscribe and then we can start making money off youtube because we're paying a youtube editor so it'd be nice to start someone out we have a yeah but you might lose some jangle jangles once we do because they all get copyright striked but well i'll just sing them without the the the music behind them yeah or the music will just be like real quiet here on the side so like we hear it but they don't right yeah just like blast it from a speaker in here yeah oh man any final thoughts bread oh nope not really i've been running a lot of yellows so i'm gonna keep that up i for a split second i can say i've been running i was like wow that's awesome i need to i'll maybe maybe that'll be next week you know what i actually had the thought this week i couldn't figure out couldn't

figure out a way to do it that wasn't like gonna be annoying and just yeah annoying on instagram but i was like i want to turn myself into a fitness influencer somehow but like in a not even in a funny way but like in a like an accountability way like there's a group of us all dedicated that we're gonna do 75 push-ups every day like it'd be fun yeah we used to do but i can't figure out how to do it at camp we did something called social push-ups okay and basically i hope it didn't seem like a tool thing to do because i had to now that i'm about to say it, it sounds like kind of toolish,

but it was like at any time during the day, every single person got to at one point call social pushups. And no matter what the situation was, you just had to get down and do 15 pushups. And so there was like 10 of us that did it. And so, yeah, you might do 150 pushups a day,

but it would be like, you might be talking to a girl and then you'd be like, Hey, social pushups. And then everyone around, Hey, we do a social pushups. Yeah. We're just pushups. And then everyone did it together.

Or somebody be like making an announcement in front of everybody. Hey, social pushups. And we'd stop and do it. So maybe that could be it. Maybe we just like throughout the day, just put on our social, like Instagram story, social pushups. If you see right now, drop down. I don't care what you're doing.

I don't care if you're looking at your phone during this meeting. Excuse me. Just one second. Um, Tom. Yeah. Drop down and give me 10. I don't care what you're doing. I don't care if you're looking at your phone during this meeting. Excuse me, just one second. Tom? Yeah. GR told me about SP just now. Anyway. That reminds me. We would always do, I mean, every camp did, like, different consequences and stuff, especially

during, like, staff training week. Like, there's no campers. You're not really getting in the way of things. And you're meeting so many people during staff training week that we always do all all these uncle week competitions that were based around like when you meet someone you have to do this it's just brutal like you really don't want to lose dodgeball because you know one would be like every time you meet a girl you can't stop talking to her until after you've done 10 push-ups so you can like oh my god you're like doing sorry, real quick. So what was your major? You know, whatever. And then another one. Oh, my gosh.

That I had to do. I lost one time is every time a girl ask you where you go to college, you know, it's such a common question. Yeah. You have to instead answer with how much you can bench press. That's just great. OK, cool. So are you from around here?

Yeah, I'm actually I grew up around here. Just like 45 minutes of the road. OK, where'd you from around here? Yeah, I'm actually, I grew up around here, just like 45 minutes up the road. Okay. Where'd you go to school? My max is 145, which I know is not great, but I also don't work out. But I mean, look at me. What'd you expect? No, that's, I remember.

Yeah. We do the same consequence things in the first summer. I had no idea that they were a thing. Yeah. Like, cause it was the first summer. Like there's all these people that are there like the week before that get all these consequences and they're all veterans and they're doing all these weird things. And I'm like, I don't like this guy.

These guys are freaks. This guy's doing pushups all the time in front of girls. So anyway, I just remember thinking like, I don't know if I fit in at this place. My very first summer, there was a guy, I still remember his name was Nathan Schlarb, which just sounds like he's going to be hilarious. And he was, he lived up to the name name his last name was schlarb yeah and on parents day he had double consequence which is already like risky like you don't really want to do consequences on parents day but he had been working there a few years like it's like a sturdier being a counselor

like hadn't moved up just like stayed a counselor because because i think he didn't care that much you know and so he was like checked out like Like, yeah, Parents' Day. Yeah, I'll do whatever. So he unfortunately got doubled up. Where one, Schlarb's a bigger guy, had to wear a size small t-shirt on Parents' Day. So it's already one consequence. And then the second one, this is 2011. The theme of Candidate of the Year was Game On. So he had to end sentences with Game On.

Yeah, I went to SBU Game On. Yeah. It was awesome. because like he truly just didn't care he just he did it i mean he really did it he went your son i mean maxwell was like he was awesome in the cabin and like in a specialty and just like this was at the end of the term that he was doing yeah yeah this is like parents are back and he's just so awesome to be around all the time game on that's like yeah that almost sounds like like a cali bro thing to say like hey yeah we really enjoyed your son game on yeah yeah yeah i got to teach him a little bit in

basketball because that was his specialty and he actually won the free throw competition one day game on game on to that and everyone's like snapping game on game on brother game on brother oh that's awesome that stuck with me you had a size small shirt just ending every sentence with game on to parents i can't believe i can't believe your director let them do that that i mean the size small one he didn't really know ward if you're out there i don't know we love throwing that one out there even if you weren't that big it was still just funny like hey if i make this size small shirt on parents day it was great that's awesome we need to do more like immediate bets like that

like hey yeah and if i make this in this trash can right now you have to yeah call schlarb push-ups on your instagram story no context yeah no caption no no text nothing just 10 push-ups okay we're rambling let's end this um we're rambling that's literally our broadcast okay we're just talking back and forth now we're just trying to be funny back and forth and being goofy and just being best friends. That's probably enough of that. Okay. Um, yeah. Hit us up on Patreon if you'd like exclusive content there.
