nice in the 20s i think something like that christian bale's in it so oh like some would say that that is his like best performance before batman Some would say. Some would say. Mainly you. Mainly people who know a lot about that stuff. Cinema. Yeah. Big film critic peoples. That's cool. I feel like I haven't seen most movies that will aggravate someone if I haven't seen them. Right.

You know, I've seen a lot of the comedies for the most part, but people don't get mad when you haven't seen a comedy. Yeah. People get mad when you tell them you haven't seen any Star Wars. Okay. Let's talk. You haven't seen any of the Star Wars? No Star Wars.

Okay. No Harry Potter. Lord of the Rings? No Lord of the Rings. I haven't seen Lord of the Rings. Avatar? I did see Avatar. I haven't seen Avatar.

I feel like that's like everyone's seen Avatar. That is kind of weird, but that's fine. I mean, it's not like it was. Yeah. Like. We just don't like sci-fi fantasy stuff. I've seen all the Harry Potters, I think, but they're fine. That's crazy.

Did you read the books or did you see the movies? I read three and a half of the books. Nice. Yeah. Still working on that last half of one? Yeah. Yeah. It's a real page turner, but just haven't found time to crack it open lately.

No, I have. Yeah. I think most for me, most of the movies I saw were just like before I was like 16 years old. And like just for the last 10 years, I just haven't seen that many movies. So anything that's like somewhat new, I just haven't gotten around to seeing. Yeah. What do you think about this premise? I will never buy another physical copy of a movie again in my life true or false oh I thought you

were telling me like the premise of a movie like all right what do you think of this premise I'm working on this screenplay this guy wakes up detective Michael Michael Scarn open field has no idea where he is uh no was that the Wizard of Oz from the perspective of the scarecrow wow that's called crow. Oh, cool. Apostrophe C-R-O-W. Cheryl Crow is going to do the soundtrack. Yeah. Good for her.

Yeah. She's still married to Lance? I don't follow her anymore. You don't keep in touch. She did that. Yeah. Huh. Wait, your premise was never buying a physical copy. Yeah.

I mean, I could see myself never touching a movie again. I just, I don't know. It was, I think it was when we moved kind of recently last two or three years we had probably 50 dvds and i just got rid of all of them because i'm like i don't think i want any of these anymore i don't think i'm ever going to watch any of these and if i am i'm going to watch them electronically on netflix like we we have a dvd player but it's not set up in our house it's a little sad yeah but at the same time i mean i'm not it's not that i don't like movies anymore it's just that i don't want to watch them on dvds

anymore yeah i'll watch it on apple tv what were some of the first dvds you remember getting as a family i know exactly what dvd i can think of three i think my very first one we got a dvd player for christmas as a family like two and a half years after everyone gave it to the family for christmas oh parents gave it to oh they gave it to themselves oh wait it's yeah maybe yeah santa santa gave it to us we have a lot of very young viewers brad let's be they gave us we had a dvd player it was like yeah at least two years after they came out and were popular that's fine it. It was like, yes, we have a DVD player. Finally. And we got the movie Hoosiers. Oh, you got a movie that like... Not a new movie by any means.

No. Now we can finally watch Hoosiers. We can watch Hoosiers like it was meant to be watched. Look at the sharpness of Gene Hackman's bald head in this picture. You could just skip right ahead to the next chapter just like that. That is fun. So you had Hoosiers what else uh i think the first dvd that i actually got for myself personally was like mike so really my parents were just okay with only basketball movies yeah in my life um we had a bruce almighty and then pirates of the caribbean our first dvds as a family that i

remember fun fact my mom uh growing up every single week or two weeks, the Olathe Daily News always had these giveaways for movies that you could win. And my mom entered in the raffle for them, and I bet she won like every other time. And so we got so many free movies. It's not a lot of people entering the Olathe Daily News. No, I mean, Olathe is a big, I mean, it's 150,000 people, but no one was entering this thing. And my mom would just win them all. And so we had Pirates of the Caribbean. I remember we got March of the Penguins.

Oh, let's go. Mama Mia, I believe. Okay. You know, anyway, random ones. But we also had Pirates of the Caribbean, is what I'm telling you. On the note of entering contests, so when I used to work with old juggling josh josh horton i remember one time he did a brand deal with like oreo or something you know he posted on behalf of them some trick shot thing and then it's like if you want to enter the oreo sweepstakes for a chance

to win all this or whatever uh no one enters those contests you know especially ones that are happening on instagram i think one's happening like Coke bottles that are like nationwide contest are probably getting entered a lot. But I know he said like, I mean, I think it was like less than 20 people entered this giveaway and, and he was like, was it his exclusive giveaway?

No, I think there are probably a couple other influencers doing it. Oh my gosh. Um, yeah, he was like, I could have earned, you know,

like basically more money if I would have just said no to the brand deal and just entered the contest, you know, and just like rolled the dice there. So then I was like, dang, if I ever see like the influencer doing any kind of like contest. I did recently win a tool giveaway. Oh, let's go. I think like they sent you a bunch of guys in Ed Hardy jeans. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They, uh, yeah, it was just Jersey Shore on DVD.

It's a full tool set. We've got a shirt pre-cut into a G-string in the back. We've got Jersey Shore on DVD, deleted scenes. We've got, like, five different ways to ask, where's my hug to a girl when she leaves the room? We've got free self-tanner. Oh, yeah. Love that loach. We've got a curling

bar. Curl bar. Curling iron. Curling iron bar. It's dual. You can do two things with it. We've got shirts, graphic tees that say stuff like, where's the weight room?

Yeah. And like a guy holding up his arms yeah is it this way number one draft pick with a keg on it nice i don't know if that's a real thing but if it's not somebody should make a shirt i get it like draft beer right yeah people would buy it pun yeah that's good um yeah but you won tools more in the sense of like drill bits i'm guessing it was a yeah it was like a 500 saw that i won a saw a compound miter saw and it was the same night i remember it was the same night that the chiefs lost to the raiders on either sunday or monday night football and i was very sad because they lost in that like you remember like they lost on like a fourth down that had like three penalties and so they kept having, it was the Raiders.

Yeah. The Raiders got like three or four chances. Yeah. Yeah. And I was so mad. And then I opened up my phone and it was like, Hey man, you just won this contest.

Send me your address. And it was like, okay, that's kind of bittersweet. Nice. Anyway, I, uh,

well, that's sweet. You got a saw. And so now I enter in those giveaways all the time. Cause I'm like, Oh yeah, why not? I love that quote in the office. Did you see saw? Of course I see saw. Most of us see saw all the time because I'm like oh yeah why not I love that quote in the office did you see Saw? Of course I see Saw

Moe's and I see Saw all the time what does that have to do with this did you see the movie Saw yeah of course I saw the movie what does that have to do with this of course I see Saw that's a great line yep anyway yeah that's uh that's that so

um okay so I have I had an idea and we kind of talked about so we're gonna do it now it's called the random eight and it is just literally i'm copying somebody else's questions maybe next week we'll figure out our own but it's just eight questions they're just conversation starters great we're going to go through them. And so here's the first one. What is a city that you've traveled to that you would consider to be overrated? First one that comes to mind is New Orleans. It's a lot of people's favorite city in the U.S.

And I can't get into it that much. When did you go there on the Ellen? Yeah, we went there once. I've been probably three or four times before wow um it just seems like i don't know a lot of crime this feels dark okay i don't know i just can't get into new orleans as much as other people seem to i've heard that it's very dark like like bourbon street really dark yeah yeah like uh yeah just sit in full place um that's that's funny sorry when you said that it reminded me of a story when you're like yeah it's really overrated i've been there like three or four times for whatever reason like it makes it sound like i keep going back yeah it's

not that great but i'm going next weekend i think so i've told a few different people this recently but i had a friend in college who ate buffalo wild wings and every time he ate buffalo wild wings i tell you this recently i don't think so i don't know every time who ate buffalo wild wings and every time he ate buffalo wild wings i tell you this recently i don't think so i don't know every time he ate buffalo wild wings he threw up oh yeah you did tell me this and he's like he's like yeah man after that third time i swore i would never go back and then after the fourth time i was like okay for sure i'm like i'm like dude after the first time it's like kind of understandable like okay i'll give it another chance my friends are going there tonight yeah that second time you throw up you're like i'm

never going back there yeah you're scarred for a while uh so anyway that's kind of three different times he goes back and you're like yeah it's kind of an overrated city no i've been there like three or four times i think one time i went because we were like going like where we were going out for a cruise was like porting out of new orleans right so it's like you got to go down there okay uh two people got shot the next day fun it's kind of a fun yeah article read and then it's yeah last time we went in the limo is ty's favorite city in the world new orleans and i just don't get it we made a great video guy though so maybe that's why yeah and then i've been there i don't know when else i've been there i can't even remember but huh yeah it's okay.

What about you? What do you think is overrated? Oh, I think I'm, I can guess actually. Oh really? Well, New York city. Really? No LA. I don't know.

He's just telling. I think you don't like either of them though. No, I'm fine with those two. Oh, I think. Jeez. Um, nevermind. I've only been to LA. I went to LA when I was in like eighth grade, so I haven't been there in a long time.

Gotcha. New York, I'm actually going to again in September, October. So, yeah, I like it a lot. I don't really have – I was trying to think of it. I don't have a city that I really truly feel like I can say I don't like. Independence. However, yeah, anything on the Missouri side. Waldo.

St. Louis sucks. But Dallas? Oh, yeah, I should have guessed. yeah yeah anything on the Missouri side St. Louis sucks but Dallas oh yeah I should have guessed I don't know if it's really overrated though because I don't feel like anybody's really loving Dallas people love Texas like people from Texas think Texas is great and maybe there are

people in Dallas that are like hey Dallas is great but I remember you gave me such a hard time when I was moving there I did I probably shouldn't have i don't know no it was fun it was yeah i mean i don't know i i really have a hard time saying too much about any city because i'm like i can't truly judge it but every experience i've had in dallas i'm like oh i've never lived here yeah mostly the traffic i can't stand the traffic of dallas and whereas like new york is great and it's huge

and there's tons of people but the public transit is so awesome that it doesn't feel like it's inconvenient yeah there's so many people around so uh yeah i just don't like dallas and the culture and it feels like it's like very high class all the time kind of uh you know kind of big on material things yeah competitive like what do you have what do i have kind of thing that's just not me so i met a guy at a pool party earlier today and he's asked me about where i've been whatever and i said why don't you live now i said oh love dallas really yeah so that was just a few hours ago okay he's a big dallas guy we'll have to talk to him and say hey man what do you love about dallas yeah i thought dallas was fine as a city yeah it's but

also there's a reason i'm in Kansas City now. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Like I said, I don't want to jump to too many conclusions. It has Whataburger, and that's... Oh, that's the one thing I missed from Texas. Random, I was kind of telling you this earlier, but we were just in Texas this past week,

and I went to In-N-Out, and Hot Take In-N-Out is just okay. It's the exclusivity of it that makes it so, like, I don't know, sought after, I think. Maybe so. That's, that's why I went. So I was like, I'm in Texas. I gotta take advantage of this. Yeah. I have to go to In-N-Out because it's not in Kansas.

And then I went there. The burger was pretty good. The fries were below average. I agree with everything you're saying. Kind of trash. So yeah, I was like, this is not, I would take water burger over in and out any day i i can't tell you how clutch it was just the honey butter chicken biscuits after 11 p.m i i mean you can just imagine how much i was eating after 11 p.m it was awesome you know that we had those at our wedding reception did you

really yes that's like what no way that's the only thing that anybody remembers about our wedding it's like yeah dude you had water burger's the only thing that anybody remembers about our wedding. It's like, yeah, dude, you had Whataburger at your wedding. At least you're remembering something. I mean, it's hard to, you know, weddings blend together like crazy. Oh yeah. We had Whataburger because like Catherine was so cool. We were just like, let's think about what we want at this thing. And she's like, well, let's just do stuff that's special to us.

And like whenever we were first dating, I would go visit her at Baylor and we'd go late night to get some HBCBs. That's sweet. And so we called up what if we're going to be like, Hey, if we order 200 of these things, can you give us a deal? Yeah. Like, yeah, we'll give them to you for half off. Sweet. So yeah, we ordered tons of them. It was awesome. Jeez. That's sweet. We had those and we had bottles of like the original Dr. Pepper stuff formula. Oh, cool. So isn't it crazy that we weren't even friends when you got married? It is is crazy i don't know if that makes it seem like your marriage is long or our friendship is short or um but yeah i did not even know who you were when you were getting married thinking back on it it makes me feel like we've been married for a long time because i feel like we've been

friends plenty long yeah we know plenty about each other i know i can guess all the cities you hate you know easy on my first two tries. Yeah, right. LA? No. Nailed that. Yeah, in hindsight, we've talked about New York several times on How You Liked It, so I don't know why I said that. Once on the podcast about how I enjoyed New York. What an idiot.

Jeez. Oh, man. All right, what's question number two? These are fun. This is great. Uh-oh. I just, my computer went. Oh, jeez.

Number two. Whoa, was that a fingerprint scan I just saw? Yeah. That was quick. Not trying to brag, but people in Dallas would be envious. Put that on the Instagram story preview. This dude can scan his fingerprint. Fourth and goal from the five.

Okay. Fourth and goal from the five. You're going for it. What current NFL player are you throwing the ball to? Wow. Fourth and goal. Are you going? This isn't going to affect my answer. Are you going tight end or wide receiver, you think?

I think you can – I don't know yet, but I think you can go either, obviously. Yeah, I just didn't know if you had already picked one out. I think I will go with a wide receiver. I think I have mine picked out. I think I would go DeAndre Hopkins. Ooh, I like that he might be like the most athletic guy in the nfl yeah he's crazy he's got dreadlocks did you see that catch that he had through his legs yeah it got pulled back yeah it's too bad um i was gonna say

julio jones oh yeah also just a freak of a man have you seen all those highlights of when matt ryan gets intercepted and like julio jones like making a tackle no yeah there's a bunch of like stuff online about like julio Jones has a career, like being a safety, like a future being a safety. Yeah. He lays people out. That's cool. Um, well, yeah.

Oh, number three. Uh, you have to pick one of these. One's got to go. They say one's got to go. One's got to go. Laser tag, bowling, mini golf, or go-karts. Ooh, this one. I think this one's easy for me.

Bowling. Yeah. Get out of here oh the other three are so fun yeah laser tag i could do ever like if they had a season pass for a laser tag thing i would just like a an intramural league oh let's go one time so fun fact my my family every year at christmas goes not on christmas day but at christmas my extended family goes and plays laser tag together that's a fun tradition. It's really fun. And one year we played with these guys.

They were probably like 17, 16, 17 years old. And we call them ninjas. Cause they all like dress like, like you couldn't even see their faces. Oh, cool. And they dominated us. Yeah. Like, yes, it was like 15 of us versus five of them.

And they were good. Yes. So they, they might be doing their own intramural league of that but i feel like recreationally i'm just so much better at the other things than bowling too really like it's hard for me to just ever like feel confident because i know what it's supposed to look like i know i'm not supposed to put my finger in the holes i know it's just to spin the ball but it's like that's going to take me a while oh i definitely good at it yeah that's the thing it's like i can't but it's also like but the other sports it's like oh putt putt yeah i already have like the form can't get any better or i guess it can't you know what

i'm saying though there's like yeah yeah the like learning curve is so much easier one of my best friends growing up is a big golfer and i'll go play putt putt with him and he'd always get so frustrated when like you beat him this is not real golf yeah he's like if you would have hit it that hard in real golf like it would have flown you know or whatever i don't know what he said i think that's what i like because it doesn't feel as much as a real sport like i don't need to train for this i could show up and beat anyone you ever got on a uh go karts throw down on there was one uh i think we were in like maybe i was like early high school been a few years since we got on a family vacation uh but we weren't necessarily in like a financial place to go on a big vacation. I think my parents would want to do something.

So we went to Branson. Of course. Yeah. I wrote the lumberjack about six times and went back home. I would say it's a good go-karting experience if you get kicked out. Which you have been. Which I almost always do. Almost every time.

Because I just bump. Because all i do is wait for somebody to get behind me and then try to make and then we're going a little r&b a little bump and grind on that go-kart course i learned from the best i think my dad has always been doing that as well so but they always get like and my favorite thing to do is when when uh you get close to like the workers they're always like don't bump each other and i always bumping i always play the victim i'm always like i've been telling him not to you know and so i think that they let me go this guy when you can't see him yeah i've been telling him like and and so i think they let me go another lap before they you know tell me again and then eventually they're like all right

man you're out of here how old were you when you got kicked out of a go-kart place oh we went in high school growing up for uh young christians weekend in branson love it and so i think i got kicked out then for the first time my dad was always like a sponsor you know but like my dad was like get in there brad come on it is seriously not fun if you're not you know bumping around i don't think it at least not passing people you know trying to trying to, trying to, you don't have to bump people, but you know, trying not to. It is fun. It's way more fun to do that. Oh yeah.

In New Zealand, we heard about this course or this thing called like the luge course. Like that sounds fun or whatever. And we did it, we booked it in tandem with bungee jumping because they kind of threw it in and we're like, great. We saved a little money by doing both. We did bungee jumping first. And then as we're going to do luge we're like dang it we probably did this in the wrong order like why did we bungee jump then luge right but then we got there no rules in new zealand someone was telling us one of the bungee jumping operators he

was like the luge is the most dangerous thing you can do in queenstown like as far as injuries go he's like i mean very rarely do we ever get anyone injured on bungee jumping. And usually just like the rope like burned them or something. It's not like they died or anything. But he's like, luge, people go to the hospital every day. It is the wild west out there. Is it like, are you laying down like an actual? Not quite. You're just on like a plastic little cart, basically.

There's some metal involved. But you're on a little, you're sitting down about six inches off the pavement. No, not even that. That was an exaggeration. I mean, two, three inches off the pavement No, not even that that was an exaggeration. I mean two three inches off the pavement and then there's no motors involved It's just straight downhill. Oh, yeah, so there's I mean truly Yeah, that's the limit speed wise right because you can break but you don't have to like if you don't want to break you can Go you know 30 35 miles an hour and are there people also going at the same time as you so the first we got Four luge

rides first three times it was basically us on the course there was like the beginner's course and then like the expert one there's like drop offs we got some air it was sweet i like it was awesome we like we did this in the right order it was good to do bungee jumping then luge so first three times it's kind of just us so it's really fun to bump with each other everything and then the fourth time there was this poor asian family that accidentally went down the expert course. And it reminded me, I imagine their perspective was like Will Ferrell, after he has the PTSD and Talladega Nights. He's like, what were those? And they're like, were those the other cars?

That was them to us. I mean, yeah, they were just like i mean barely moving and we didn't you know we roll up on them not knowing they're gonna be there and we're like having to swerve out of the way just like zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom past these people they had like a family of eight so it's actually really fun to pass them and just made it feel like you're going that much faster they called it rouge have you ever oh my gosh kidding the The power just went out in Brad's house. That's fun. But we're still rolling. I think we're, yeah, we're still going. Okay. It'll kick back on, I guess. We hope so. It's like flooding and not flooding. It's thunderstorming outside. A lot of lightning.

Have you ever gone back to the topic real quick? Have ever gone on a Chick-fil-A laser tag date? No. Well, you should. Yeah. I haven't either, actually. I haven't, but I want to. Chick-fil-A laser tag. Chick-fil-A laser tag. Yeah.

I would love to. Oh, and we're back. We're good. I would love to go with anybody. It doesn't even have to be my wife. Like, anybody that wants to do it. You and I could go Chick-fil-A laser tagging sometime. Absolutely.

Absolutely. Just a completely, you know uh what's the word when it's when it's not no no like actual love feelings platonic platonic yeah platonic date yeah great yeah i uh that's not an original idea of mine but it is one of the many date ideas i have that i'm excited to do someday I love it I want to do a middle school themed date where we dress in like Hollister clothing miss me jeans did you wear the did you wear either those Hollister all that yeah for sure not me and one like the what goes around on the front of shirt on the back shirt comes around or whatever the thing even was. Like doing a crossover.

I had a lot of people that did. I want to wear clothes like that. And our parents have to drive us everywhere. We go to, we got to go to the mall, just like walk around for an hour and go to the movie, sit in the back row and hold hands. Heck yeah.

Hold hands. Wouldn't that be great? Yeah. I don't want to say anymore in case she's out there listening. I don't want to spoil them. Love case she's out there listening. I don't want to spoil them. Love it. All right. Fourth question.

What's your favorite card game? You know what? I feel like most people would say, oh, there's no skill in that. But I win a surprising amount of time is the game BS. Oh, yeah. You know, we just put down the card. So if you haven't played it, basically you play with anyone from four to ten people. You deal out every card in the deck, and then you know we just put down the card So if you haven't played it basically you play with anyone from four to ten people you deal out every card in the deck And then you just go around so whoever starts it off has to play the ace and then whoever is next to them plays the

Two and the three and the four but you're not always gonna have that card So it's based around BS in your way like no two fours and then someone can call you out on it and whatever basically But most here's the strategy everybody you got to think ahead you seriously have to think 12 to 15 steps ahead i'm like all right this go around i'm the six which means next go around i'm the two which means next around so then you have to decide all right i have these cards this means i need to lie with my seven because it's going to be 12 turns before i can get to a seven so i need to lie with my seven now i don't know if that was a good explanation but i get what you're saying anyway i went a a lot of BS because most people are just like that. I don't have any twos, whatever.

But if you think about it anyway, that's kind of the nerd in me. Like I'm not competitive, like get aggressive, but I'm competitive. Like I'm going to think way more than anyone else here. I love it. What about you? Uh, hearts is, is the big game in my family. You used to play that a lot on windows XP. Yeah.

For whatever reason, the women in my family play nerds and the men play hearts. I played nerds with your that a lot on windows xp yeah for whatever reason the women in my family play nerds and the men play hearts i've played nerds with your wife a lot yeah she's very good she's quick um so i like nerds too i'll play every once in a while you play spades or just hearts well so we play hearts because hearts we play with like i don't know we can play with seven eight nine oh can you really i didn can you really i mean i think it's traditionally a four-person game obviously but the ellis's make it work uh yeah um it's really fun so that's that's the answer love playing some hearts uh you know during thanksgiving christmas time with the fam that's great any game with your family that's become a tradition is just so fun

yeah you know it doesn't matter what it is oh Oh, totally. If you do it year after year, it's going to be a good time. We're a big traditions game family in general. We do a pinata every year for Thanksgiving. No idea how it started. No joke. That's a sweet tradition. Yeah, and it just starts with the youngest kid and then makes its way up. Happy Pilgrim's Day.

Take a whack at this pinata. And I'm like the second youngest cousin of of my generation but now we all have kids and so it's like will it ever get back to me we don't know you know i i think this year it got really close to getting to me and then my cousin who's 26 years old just beat the heck out of the pinata and then like a full turkey falls out of it let's eat right let's do it um no but it's it's pretty awesome that's a sweet tradition it's really that makes me want to get weird with my family someday totally like there's no every fourth of july we go christmas caroling and then we uh you go play laser tag yeah we have random traditions uh okay number five this is a really random one what's your favorite usher song oh

this is a no-brainer i don't have a lot of the aspects of my wedding planned out but one part i do is when they say for the first time as a couple mr and mrs you know jake triplet then i want that is yeah by usher featuring lil john and ludacris chris bridges yep i absolutely agree with that is that your favorite usher song as well it's great you agree with the wedding thing too oh no i don't agree that's great i think i want that to be a wedding walkout song peace up hey down down i think i want to i'll trim the i don't want to trust the dj on this i'm going to trim the song myself take out that first like three seconds and all i used to do is hit space bar when they announce it yeah oh i get i get hype whenever i hear the peace up i'm not

trying to shout out atlanta at my wedding unless i'm getting married in atlanta then you never know never know if you're out there um no easily i think yeah by usher is one of my top 10 songs ever it's the the melody is so simple it's like three notes bum bum bum bum yeah and it's why is that so catchy how are those three notes so catchy it's i don't know but it's awesome. It makes me want to dance every time. I think it's like the song of our generation. Yeah. Maybe that's too extreme,

but I think it is one of the greatest songs of people our age. Like, I don't think anybody our age does not like that song a lot. Have you seen those memes of like, it'll be a video of Forrest Gump when he first runs out of his house to run down the road. And then it's like me when Yeah by Usher comes on to the dance floor or whatever. I'm like, dang, that hits home. dang that hits home it's so true dude like oh this party's kind of lame it's kind of you know dying out peace up oh we're in when i dj different things weddings or parties

whatever i always keep a few i like to call you know my few songs in my back pocket yeah yeah by usher is like that's more of like a closer almost like you could end on that song but low by flowrida that's a good one if we've got a lot of white girls in the audience um wop it's a good one to get them out there and then lip gloss is probably my mount rush more of like back pocket can get everyone back on the dance floor i i think there's got to be a little bit more uh well i guess you had a girl song in there i think party in the usa is always like one that anything people could sing along to is right party in the usa and then call me maybe is another one that's like this is my lens i'm not endorsing that song i don't love it but i think that song gets people going yeah gets the people going nobody knows what it means it's provocative

i was listening to a podcast last week with uh dylan francis you know who that is the edm dj get get get get low when the whistle go oh no i did not okay anyway he was saying his like go-to song is uh if you heard uh the lemonade song by nerd you know what that is bouncing around bouncing around bouncing it's got rihanna in it n-e-r-d yeah i don't know i don't know them super well but i do like pharrell a lot okay that's all sorry no i don't know it lemonade is pharrell in that n-e-r-d yeah i don't know who that is you don't know who pharrell is i know pharrell is he wears cool hats n-e-r-d is like one of his bands okay i had no idea he's like a producer and so like he was in clips you heard that rap group no i had hit clips back in the day though

do you have hit clips i don't know what you know what those are no you didn't have hit clips i think we're so similar in like how we grew up and everything what is it hit clips it's like before mp3 player it was like it was somewhat this shape and size of a usb drive but more of a square and it held one song on that. And then you had like this device. So I think I'd hit me baby one more time at Britney Spears on a hit clip. I did like an NSYNC song on a hit clip. There's mini discs things that you could add like 600 MP3s to or something like that.

Whoa. Yeah, I'm not trying to brag. Yeah. First the fingerprint, now this. Okay. I don't know what Clipse is. Clipse. C-L-I-P-S-E.

It's like a group that Pharrell is also in. Yeah, rap group. I thought you were just like, I haven't heard Nerd, but Pharrell is great. No, I like Pharrell a lot. I listen to rap, but Lynyrd Skynyrd is awesome. I know some N.E.R.D., but I don't know a whole lot of them. Okay. I had never even heard of them until Lemonade. You're talking about Lemonade, the album that Beyonce came out recently with?

Oh, wait. Maybe the song's called Lemon. Still don't know it. Either way, yeah. Rockstar I think is by N.E.R.D. Remember Party Like a Rockstar? Yes, also another one that's a banger on the bass line. Yeah, no one really you don't hear that song ever anymore. We should go to

And maybe you future. I have a theory. What a great song.

It's almost just because of my own life, and maybe you can debunk it real quick, but I think that once you hit, I don't know the exact age, let's say 25. Eh, let's say 24. Okay. Once you hit 24,

you no longer care about finding new music. I don't think that's accurate. In my life, it is not completely accurate but i was that guy in high school and college that was always wanting to know yeah every like you were here pitchfork.com no big music website that was like all about indie rap and indie rock and all this stuff loved pitchfork like where i heard all these different people now i could care less i'm like give me my you know people i listen to all the time yeah i don't need to i don't need it like if that person comes out with a new album i'll listen to it but i'm not trying to rediscover

a new ben rector in my life i'm like ben rector is fine i already love him i don't need i don't need another one so discover weekly on spotify you don't get down with i'll listen to it every once in a while but i never like go from there and go deeper like oh i need to listen to this guy's album i think if i wasn't a videographer i would definitely care less about finding new music that's but that's somewhat a part of what i do because you're thinking you're thinking a different way about the music rather than just like am i enjoying this or not just last night i was trying to find a song i came up with uh i've got a couple like concept ideas for my next hawaii trip that i'm excited about it's like i'm going there to travel and to live it up and i'm like it's also more fun if i kind

of an idea like right that way i'm not just shooting video just like this is pretty i'll shoot a video but if i have like something more concrete what i think i want to do is like the first 20 to 30 seconds look like pretty cool and cinematic you know it'll come on the screen earth you know cool music and then it's just like hiking footage just like drone footage you know of the earth and then there's fire you know whatever tight slow-mo shots bonfire someone cooking you know whatever okay so we go through the elements earth fire water air people but then it just starts to get really weird you know bathroom and then it's like walking in on someone in the bathroom very like lonely island-esque like andy sandberg i feel like that's like his...

Thank you for kind of consistently comparing me to him, by the way. I appreciate that. You're welcome. You do that somewhat often. Like all his like videos, I feel like,

at least on SNL, started out kind of like normal and then by the end of them were like way over the top. They just deteriorate into, yeah, something. Like threw it on the ground. You remember that song?

Oh, yeah. Like it starts out like kind of normal things that you throw on the ground and then by the end of it, it's like the most random. I can't think of examples. Yeah, I'm not too familiar with that song oh yeah it starts out like kind of normal things you throw on the ground and by the end of it it's like the most random i can't think of examples um yeah i'm not too familiar with that song but i i wanted to get that way though like i wanted like the last scene of it it's just like so extreme you know it says authenticity and then someone like jake you can't keep doing this like you have to stop doing this you're driving us all crazy you know it's just

like really raw audio of someone just like being really upset at me or something. I don't know. We'll see. Anyway, I was trying to find a song for that. I like it. I'm sure you can. Number six. Number six.

You get two toppings on your sundae. Oh. What are you getting? I am going to get hot fudge. Ooh. Love hot fudge. Yeah.

And then I'm maybe going to get some Butterfinger. Really? really well that's more of a concrete i don't know i mean it would still be good on a sunday okay you kind of mix it up i'll get butterfinger in the hot fudge you i was going to be very similar to that i was going to say chocolate syrup because i love chocolate you want room temperature fudge yeah cool um and either m&ms or reese's pieces either way rhesus pieces are very underrated by the way yeah they are good yeah i bought two big old bags of m&ms yesterday i went into big old bags big old bags i went into walgreens to try and see a doctor and it's and he got two yeah it turns out everyone else from kansas city was

already in line so i got toothpaste and uh two for six dollar deal on m&ms i was curious why you got two of them yeah same you know both plain or no one plain one pretzel oh god about peanut butter the peanut butters are so good dude tell you what's very underrated um pretzel's pretty good gonna make you thirsty have a drink yeah but uh dude. Tell you what, it's very underrated. Pretzel's pretty good. Got to make you thirsty. Have a drink. But I think it's called Crispy. It's like a light green, kind of an ugly green colored package, but they're crispy M&Ms.

They're the cookie kind. Like they have cookie. A little bit. Yeah, yeah. Favorite flavor. Yeah. They have those again? Every now and then.

Certain gas stations. They had them like 10, 15 years ago when I was a kid. I didn't know that. And they were in a blue package. And they came back, I guess. Blue is now caramel and pretzel. The caramel ones suck. Also, recently in the last couple months, I've been trying to say caramel instead of caramel.

You dog. Mount Caramel? You dog. Mount Carmel. That's somewhere. Yeah. California? I don't think so.

I think it's like in Europe. Oh, cool. I haven't been to Europe, so I don't know. Let's search it's like in Europe. Oh, cool. I haven't been to Europe, so I don't know. Let's search it. California. Oh, he's from California. Petey Jones. Running back.

The running back, y'all. Okay, Mount Carmel. Northern Israel. Oh, I was close. Northern Israel. I don't know if that's Europe either. What am I thinking? Okay, I think there is a carmel california i'm pretty sure that's what i'm thinking of probably not a complete doofus um okay number seven how long does the road trip have to be

for you to say i'll just fly instead oh eight nine hours probably is somewhere in my threshold like i got asked to go whitewater river rafting for free and it's in eastern tennessee might be a little bit of a journey so i might fly to that like fly to knoxville you're going no i haven't not for sure okay but if that's like a 10-hour drive yeah i'm probably gonna fly yeah dallas is like dallas and denver like on the cusp like depending on how much flights are depending on the weather denver's farther than denver's like yeah denver's like eight and a half is it and dallas is what like eight i thought denver was farther than that i don't know you you just drove there so you probably would know i drove there in the snow

so it did not give me a good uh like guess of yeah um i really struggle with driving long distances if i'm the one driving so we drove to texas recently and back in the way back i was like not falling asleep obviously but like very tired um one thing i should have said in my answer i was thinking this is a solo trip yes me too okay cool so in my answer and this is kind of ironic, I guess, but ironically, I think I could drive better by myself than if somebody else was in the car with me. Really? I know that sounds weird, but I think I expound energy trying to entertain them. Yeah, absolutely.

Or with my daughter, like trying to make sure she's okay, having to listen to her music, having to, you know. That's a great point. That stuff. Like if I'm going on a road trip with someone I don't know so well, like that's going to be, yeah. Yeah. It's a little more exhausting. We're like, Oh man, like Catherine sometimes bless her. I love her, but sometimes she gets frustrated with me whenever we stop too much. Cause I need to go to the bathroom. Cause I drink a lot of refills. I'm like, I'm sorry. And you know, I'm a guy. So it

takes me two minutes to go to the bathroom. I'm like, Catherine, it won't take me long at all. You know, I won't even wash my hands if you don't want me to. I swear I won't. It's like, it feels like a big inconvenience, but it's like, it's really not. It's a 10 hour drive. If I got to stop a few extra times for two minutes. Right. It's not a big deal.

So I think sometimes, you know, with other people, I might be worried about like, oh gosh, we just stopped an hour ago, but I could go again. He doesn't know how big my bladder is though. I need to go again. Yeah. Anyway. I think if there were like three or four people in the car though unlimited really unlimited hours as far as like but you would be driving the entire time still oh no no like we can split up the driving and all keep each other awake everything yeah i've had that thought multiple times with the limo thing with you guys is like i could not do that if i were the one driving because i would just struggle after three hours that was the thing is we didn't exactly help out the guy

driving it was always like you were you're out there by yourself let's put the uh whatever i don't even know what the partition partition yes beyonce put up the partition and let them have their space um my answer i think is 10 hours. Okay. Yeah. Maybe 12. And that's like an absolutely like, no, I'm not going to, I'm not doing that. Um,

preferably I would always fly though. Flying's great. Yeah, it is great. So, um, okay. Last but not least,

what is something you think that you are better at than most people? Ooh, that's, that's a time to, time to self-promote baby. There is a game you can download on your phone. In college, it was called scramble with friends. Oh man. Did you ever play this? Yes. And I sucked. I was undefeated. I felt like I was very good. People would stand over my shoulder and watch me play scramble with friends. And I don't feel bad bragging about that because that is the most insignificant random thing but now it's it's basically boggle you know the yeah boggle it is boggle but a digital version

you can do it with your thumb rather than having to write it down yeah it's awesome so about just finding words quickly it was just my jam did you purposely go for like the triple letter ones first that was the key yeah you gotta like oh a t is a triple like letter right now like oh this is huge yeah yeah let's kill it every word needs to have t in it yeah i was not very good at that i was fine i was mediocre um i'd say that and memorizing numbers it's my two memorizing two big ones yeah we had a contest in college not a contest but i was like sitting in the classroom and the teacher wrote like 25 numbers up on the board i was like all right i want you guys to memorize these and just like erased them there's also a marketing class i don't really know why we did this oh interesting but i was like the only one in the

class that had it memorized and i was like dang this is i guess a gift i don't know no one else knew this so it kind of stuck with me i was like if i ever get in a position to well i guess now that i'm thinking about it i used to have my credit card number memorized that i was never without money you don't anymore no i do it whenever i've used my credit card enough and then i'm like yeah i know this but not intentionally what would you say i don't know um i mean obviously the easy things for us to say are what we do for a living you know like making custom tables yeah um i'm looking for like niche, like random things. Yeah. One of the things I want to say is names.

I'm pretty good with names. Yeah. That like when I worked at K country, I memorized all the kids names on the first day one time. That's sweet. Yeah. It was like, it was like a point of pride though. Like, you know, it was like kind of like your numbers thing. Like, okay, I really want to do this.

It wasn't like I was like that naturally gifted though i don't know it's like i'm i'm going to put forth the effort so that i can show people that i can do this i think i'm and this is kind of a random thing to like really prove i don't think you can prove very easily but i think i can i have a very audible memory i think that's what you call it and so i think i can impersonate people pretty well yeah like i don't certain people like that that are so just like innately talented and i'm not that like i recognize their tone and so i think i can do it people are like oh that's such a good impersonation of this person i'm like thank you it just i can hear them and i just even if it's just different doesn't have to be morgan freeman or anything just like oh i can make fun of my

friend by talking like yeah i think i'm better with my friends than with morgan freeman yeah because i listen to my friends more. I haven't heard Morgan Freeman talk in person that much. That much. I mean, every once in a while. Sure. He'll come to Bogler every once in a while, but most of the time it's just digital for words of friend. So anyway, that's been the random eight.

That was kind of fun. It was fun. It sparked a lot of, I mean, that was 30 minutes worth of conversation. Yeah, it was great. So we'll come, maybe we'll come up with our own, maybe four questions each next week. Yeah, that was great. Just random questions. If you guys have a special gift that you want to tell us about, please do in the review section.

A special gift? A special talent. Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah. If you guys would like to answer number eight. Or any of these, really. Comment, you know, five star review and then comment your answer. And then tell would like to answer number eight. Or any of these, really. Comment, you know, five-star review, and then comment your answer. And then tell us.

I'm just kidding. I actually should go. I know the website tells us how many people listen on Apple and Spotify, and I looked after episode one, and it was like 50-50, which I was kind of surprised, but then I haven't looked since. Or you can always – we don't really need you to interact with us, but it is really fun for us. So you can always DM one of us, because usually we DM the other person comments.

I'm like, look what they said. This is so nice. Oh, yeah. The ratio is about 30 to 1 right now. Brad, could you use something? I got one, though. Did I tell you that? Yeah, Brad got one.

Shout out Graham Dodd, baby. Don't even know him, but I haven't even responded to him yet. I'll have to respond to him before this airs next time. That's funny. He was nice to me and commented some nice things. Yeah, it is really cool. I think it's one of those things that feels good because we're doing it in a basement. There's no audience.

So you don't even have to say anything even that nice. I listen to it and I'm like, oh my gosh, that is awesome. That is so cool that you listen to it. Yes! That is awesome. Just because we started this from such a humble heart. And still there i'm just like we were gonna do this for fun you know so like the fact that other people want to listen to it is like whoa whoa we were um brad something happened to me this week that um you know when usually when

someone will say like what's an embarrassing story it's hard for me to think of one got one got it now got in the pocket yeah stuff like this doesn't i don't it's just it's hard for me to think of one got one got it now got in the pocket yeah stuff like this doesn't I don't know it's hard for me to get embarrassed nowadays but it happened so there's a lot to this story I'm gonna try to tell it as quickly in but yet as detail as possible so excited um back in February a girl messages me on Instagram about she cut we had this like mutual friend wanted to grab lunch about something business related okay um i forget to reply kind of a graham dodd situation you know and uh but she has like a private instagram so i i have very little gauge of what this is gonna be about who she is not even her age really you know i know nothing other than uh that she's a girl um i forget to message she

replies to my story in like May, probably. And then I see the above message. I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I forgot to respond. Yeah, let's grab lunch, whatever. She sends me her number. So I save it in my phone as like Instagram lunch girl or something. I don't know why.

I normally don't do that. Well, then I forget to text her until like two weeks ago. Then I finally text her and I was like, hey, so sorry. Like I forgot to text you again. Let's grab lunch. Great, we make plans. Panera bread. You know I love Panera bread.

Love the Alfredo from Panera. Yeah, and... With a lemonade probably. But I can't find a DM anymore. So I don't know her name or anything about her. You know, so I'm just like, man. So I'm already going into it a little anxious of like how this is going to go.

And then I can't really remember the initial message. I like what did i sign up for like is this going to be like some pyramid scheme thing like why am i here you're way too smart to have all these things go wrong to you so far i know it was it was just lack of attention to detail well and like i tried to do due diligence and it's just it got lost you know if you don't know someone's name and you get you're done that's you know hundreds of dms a week like it's hard to like you know it's like i don't even know how far down to scroll what a humble brag right there by the way i try to give you an accurate depiction i mean you get thousands of dms i think i love when people dm me so keep it coming i will i won't brag about it anymore i it's a cool thing i like interacting with people anyway okay um luckily courtney did a great job of walking

right up to me when i get to panera paying for my lunch and because of that can i get a name for that they said courtney i was like great this is awesome all know her name also 25 years old uh cute girl okay um which i just i was like this might be a 50 year old woman like i have no idea who i'm meeting so it starts off great. I'm like, oh, this is great. We sit down. Ooh, right off the bat. I almost forgot to tell this part of it.

Yeah, we got off on a great note. She hands me her phone. She's like, check this out. Look at something on my phone. Her font is the biggest thing I've ever seen. We're fitting like two, two words per like screen. Oh, elderly font? Yes.

So I said like, good Lord, are you 75 years old? And she said, I have glaucoma. So I said, oh, sweet. So that's not the embarrassing part though? No. Oh no. Oh, like, good Lord, are you 75 years old? And she said, I have glaucoma. So I said, oh, sweet. So that's not the embarrassing part, though? No. Oh, no. Oh, Brad, no. No, I almost forgot to say that part.

Yeah, that just kind of sets the scene. So I'm not exaggerating for the sake of the story, but we have been there an hour and she has not brought up whatever it is we're here to talk about. I mean, we've just been shooting the breeze, just chit chat for an hour with a stranger. And, you know, at this point, I starting to think like, what did that DM say? Like, did she ask me on a date and I just didn't know it? You know, like, did I like completely misread, you know, I'm just like starting to question everything. Like, why am I here? Is this even the right girl? Cause I don't even know her name. You know, so I'm like, am I meeting the right, you know, at a certain, you know, at a certain point you just question everything, you know, why am I here? Shortly after that that she finally brings it up she says uh hey um all right let's

let's get down to business to defeat the huns no she's like uh actually before we even get it out what did what did joe tell you and i was like what's up i was like who's joe yeah and uh she's like you don't know joe and i was like i don't know joe she's like yeah kristen's husband luckily i do know the kristen she's talking about but still i don't know this joe guy at all um and she's like oh jeez i'm sorry this is embarrassing joe told me he was gonna like prep you for what we were supposed to talk about today and i'm like i don't know so basically the reason we both sat there for an hour just chit-chatting each other because we were both expecting the other person to bring it up.

Oh, okay. So it gets to a point where we both realize, Oh, we're both here for no reason. We have no idea why we're both here. She doesn't know where she's there. Like she works for this Joe guy,

but he basically told her like, Hey, uh, I heard about this Jake guy. He's good with social media. I want you to have lunch with him, like arrange lunch with him. And then I'll fill him in on what I want you guys to talk about.

But Joe never did that for me. So you don't know Joe at all? Don't even know. I didn't even know like the company he ran or anything. I had no idea. Did you know of him? I know who his wife is. Like I know his wife.

Okay, okay. So that's like a kind of, it was kind of Will Ferrell and Michael Scott meeting at the bar a little bit. I'm just like, I don't know, just awkward, but we were able to laugh about it a little bit. Sorry, it's been a long story, but here it comes. Crescendo. Okay. We're now at an hour and a half because at a certain point, or because at that point I was like, well, I might as well try to be helpful.

Like show me your company's Instagram. Let's see. And came up with some good ideas for her still, I think, but it's an hour and a half into this now. And she says, by the way, I don't know if you realize this, but we've matched on Tinder before. Oh, and I said, oh no oh no no not no oh no it's so my my heart just starts pounding just because like i don't know like yeah what she might have seen you know i don't know i'm just like nervous i've never

met up with the girl from tinder before that's always just been and for the most part that was all back in like 2014 it was completely just like a joke format I was doing. And so I'm already nervous. Like, oh my gosh. Like I've just, I've never had this happen before. And she was like, and you messaged me too. And I was like, oh no. And so it's already, I'm already nervous. And then the icing on the cake was that it was a pickup line that I'd used

that I felt really good about, but I felt like this was a little too inappropriate to post Online and of all the people it was her you and deserve right there. I know it's I was like geez Like what are the gods that like this? She's known the whole time the whole time we've been like she didn't say a word drop the bomb 90 minutes I'm special for Joe. Oh My god is hiring only the most utmost you know professional people anyway so this pickup line is because you gotta say it now yeah is um so i said it's even better that i'm actually

gonna hear you say it rather than just uh read it i say um cereal ice cream courtney she says haha what i say sorry i'm just naming things that i want to spoon you know just a great joke yeah but then you know even though it worked out like you know the response you know i never posted it because i was like you know that's weird like i'm not gonna post that oh my gosh uh and then yeah of all the people to brain we get lunch with it was freaking courtney spoon girl i can't wait till all your tinder uh like you know things like that keep happening i just keep meeting the professional world no less she is it's gonna come back to bite me so oh man good for you for actually pursuing like a meet up with this girl over and over again even though you know you kept like hey thank you for finding some

redeeming qualities you're welcome i was because i felt bad i was like you know this girl reached out about something business related i want to help him out you know whatever wow um and then yeah just i just i did real bad i did not do good at all oh my gosh that happened a few days ago she like like showed you the conversation i went yeah to your face oh no no sorry uh she just mentioned oh we matched on tinder yeah and then you found it yeah yeah that's almost worse that you didn't talk i don't know maybe it's not worse but like i mean she could see how embarrassed i was and she was really cool about it she's like don't be embarrassed it's fine i was like no i there's nothing you can say right now like i am i am so embarrassed because how many what percentage of people on twitter or twitter tinder do you actually have a normal conversation with?

If I had to put a percentage on it, I would say zero. So like right when you heard it was Tinder, I was just like, geez, we're done. That's exactly why I was already so nervous. I was like,

it doesn't even matter. Yeah. You know what we said or matches. It's just like, I'm just so nervous. And I've met, never met up with a girl from Tinder or Bumble, you know,

it's always been just kind of a fun i don't know whatever so i was just like this is not how i saw it going down up in there or bread well anyway i hope people so that took kind of a while to tell but hope no that's an enjoyable story yeah just happened a few days ago so i've just been trying to recuperate since then um you probably want to yeah i think uh that's too good man you have any updates i just talked for a long time so you feel free to fill me in on anything we got any life updates any future plans future plans nothing's crazy you're about to go to central america for the fourth of july a little bit yeah trinidad we're going to yeah we're taking a mission trip with the church to Trinidad in Tobago.

Tobago. Which you have been to before. I've been once as well. Yes. And we're going straight from that to the beach. Which beach again? We, this is, sorry, this is two different trips. I'm going straight from that to the beach, basically.

Gulf Shores, Alabama. Nice. Alabama. Greenbow, Alabama. So two weeks in a row that we'll be gone. Whoa. Wait. Greenbow, Alabama. So two weeks in a row that we'll be gone. Wait, we haven't talked through how we're going to figure out some logistics here. Are we going to front load the pod? Maybe so.

We'll just do a marathon pod. Three episodes? Yeah. We can figure it out. I got plenty more life updates. I got a lot going on. We got some ideas for future pods. We keep doing those. Those random mates.

We are starting our men's league basketball Monday. Team Butter. Yeah, so tonight if you guys are listening to this on a Monday, I guess. Yeah. We got our first game. I'm going to be out of town. Trey and I both are going to be gone for week one. We'll hold it down for you, man.

I guess in the future episodes, you'll probably get some basketball yeah updates which will be funny fun fact uh last season i almost got in a fight for some for jake brad stood up for me on the court which brad and i never really played organized sports before like it's our first time ever being on a sanctioned team oh yeah together we've played organized yeah, together, like on the same team. This guy, I saw it as him tack, like Jake stole the ball from him, had this fast break. You were about to score. And this guy, or maybe not best about to score, but you were, but he did not want me to score. He kind of, yeah. He kind of like tried to like grab you.

He like hugged my waist a little bit. Yeah. And it kind of looked like he tackled you in my opinion. I was running. So, I mean, like it brought me to a stop. Right. And I was fired, so it brought me to a stop. Right. And I was fired up about it. Did not like that.

I was ready to drop some bows, throw some hands. And luckily, everyone said, no, he was trying to slow him down after he realized he had kind of tackled you. He was trying to make your fall more graceful so he didn't hurt you. But he was trying to make it look worse than it was make your fall more like graceful so he didn't hurt you but i was ready to go and one of our other teammates was like all right we're about to get in a fight and get kicked out of this league that's what jordan said all right i'll i'll get their back i'll do it but i mean this is our last game yeah no that was fun it was cool to see you fired up which i don't think i've ever uh that's not

true a few times i've had similar situations like that one time in a mormon uh basketball tournament with my friend uh congrats on getting the invite to yeah thanks one of my best friends growing up was mormon he they always had a tournament we got pretty close to getting a fight there one time it was when i was like eighth grade though it was more just nice talking just like you're just starting to feel testosterone you don't know what to do with it this is awesome the the game that you got so fired up was also to give you guys a little quick breakdown of last season oh man we did not make the playoffs didn't have a great season we were about oh and four to start and

then our fifth game of the season was against the best team they're four and oh they're undefeated this is just like they had a guy that looked like Todd Gurley on their team. Yeah, he was massive. Like, I would not be surprised if he played in the NFL. I would not be surprised if he is Todd Gurley. And out of season, he just comes to Tomahawk Ridge. Anyway, we beat them. Somehow.

It was like the Toon Squad beating the Monstars. Yeah, something clicked. And it's not like we're that bad of a team like we got a guy who played college basketball on our team yeah you got guys who could play we're fine but yeah we put it all together and that was a great night it was nuts we one of our friends hit a three-pointer in somebody's face and literally like he's like kind of a quieter guy literally he made this three and he goes in his face like said that to a guy and it was like, it's awesome.

Getting fired up. So yeah, you guys can expect some basketball updates. No one's asking for this, but we're going to give them to you. I know you don't care. People want to know. They want to know how we're doing. Our team name is Butter. I don't know why.

Because we're smooth. I think is why. Smooth and not that good for you. Yeah. Fattening. Speaking of food real quick, quick update for the listeners. Last week I talked about how I was getting sick after I eat meat. Googled it. Turns out it's a very common allergy.

So it might be without meat for a year or two. I gotta go see a doctor, but I'll take it from you if you have any that you want to give me say what now if you have any meat like oh if i have any meat i'm talking like some of the allergy hey man we got this burgers here that i can't eat like just you got to cook out sometime they have burgers you can't eat them just give me you yeah i'll invite you yeah so it's looking like yeah i've eaten so much chicken and pizza in the last week it's unbelievable and i think this is just about to be my life for a while but it could be way worse yeah you know

all things considered you could be lactose intolerant yeah that's the thing dairy's still in the picture that's huge you could be gluten-free yeah i could be in crippling debt yeah dave ramsey would. Oh, here we go again. Dave. Oh, Dave. Hey, ask me how I'm doing. How are you doing? Better than I deserve.

That's what Dave Ramsey always says. Fires me up. I'm like, yeah, we are doing better than we deserve. It's just like his humble go-to answer. Yeah, I think it's probably a little bit of of a gospel background passive-aggressive and it's good to have catchphrases in anything business related you know yeah better not deserve now you're like able to think of him when you hear that and vice versa oh yeah think of that when you hear him I must I'm gonna try start we should have a catchphrase for ghost runners we do oh yeah

just kidding no we don't. Although we do have a jingle. What was that jingle you said last time? I liked it. I don't remember. Let's hear a new one then. Ghost Runners, where we make your dreams, your dreams come true. That was really pretty.

Thanks. I don't know if we went over this, guys Brad can sing and he sings on a weekly basis and gets paid to well yeah I make jingles I do podcast jingles in forms of hymns and contemporary songs

for a church and that is that's how we word it every time that we say that Brad's a worship pastor that's the only way to phrase that yeah I am

I think that's the one thing if i could like drastically change about myself be able to sing in an instant because it's hard to really be taught how it's not surfing you know it's like you kind of need to be born with this i i think you're a little wrong i've been wrong completely wrong i think if you're tone deaf you're're tone deaf. I don't think I am that. But I'm just a bad singer. Oh, that doesn't sound good? Oh, I know I sound bad. My background is I didn't start leading worship and actually singing.

I played guitar when I was a freshman in high school, but didn't actually start singing in front of people until freshman in college. Kind of because I had to because another guy had mono. Really? And I was like, hey, can you do this? And I was like, I can try. You had your Tom Brady moment. But I could tell that I was bad.

True Bledsoe went down. I was like, that note was bad. And you just were able to correct it? No. Not for a while. Never have. No, yes, I was over time. But I think it's like anything else, you kind of have to train yourself.

I'm not saying you can become the greatest singer in the world, but I think you can become much better by singing more. Yeah. How much do you think voice lessons are? I'm like decently serious about this. Like that's how passionate I am about like not being bad at this. I don't know. Cause I love a stage, love people, but I just don't have anything to really provide a stage. I don't know, man. Like, I don't know what to be able to sing. Cause that's the thing. I never took voice lessons or anything, but I think just, I think it's one of those things kind of like i don't know this is so cheesy but like your voice is your instrument quote unquote nice you know take the music out of the man but can't take me out of the music but it's true like you have to like train your instrument like if i don't sing

for three four weeks like it is a lot harder for me to sing than if i'm singing on a weekly weekly basis. If I go two songs worth in the car singing to it, my throat gets sore. That's how little I sing, you know? But if you're, if you're used to singing, you can sing for hours. If you're doing podcast jingles once a week, then you're going to be fine. Ghost Riders. That's, no, that's cool. That gives me, if anyone listening gives voice lessons or you'd like to take a crack at it.

Well, prove me wrong. Like I don't, I, that's my theory for it. I think, and I think it's true. listening uh gives voice lessons or you'd like to take a crack at it well prove me wrong like i don't i that's my theory for it i think and i think it's true um i mean either way you're leaving me pretty optimistic about it so i would be optimistic if i were you as long as you're willing and i think in the car is the best time to do it because you can belt it by yourself and you can realize like oh i can't do that or oh i can i can do that um that's how i learned how to harmonize is i just listen to stuff try to sing along with the car and sometimes it's just like oh this is terrible and other times

i'm like oh i think i did it right there's just very few notes that i actually hit where i'm like that was good yeah you know but maybe someday i can hit more yeah i i don't know i think i think so i'd like to do something in music someday but But it's not going to happen if I don't just do it. Yeah. Amelia Earhart once said, the greatest way to do something is to do it. And she was known for her singing. That girl could belt it. Yeah.

She was the Aretha Franklin of the aviation industry. Yeah. Little known fact. Okay. So Jake's going to get voice lessons. Yeah. Perfect. Hopefully from someone listening also if anyone listening is an allergist i could really use one of those um what else do i need like a dog that i have joint custody of would be cool i don't want to own a dog because i travel a

lot what do you think of have we talked about this i had this idea the other. What do you think of, have we talked about this? I had this idea the other day. What do you think of an Airbnb for like an Airbnb version of a dog? So like you're on vacation or whatever, you're traveling and you want to rent a dog. While you're on vacation. Let's say you're a businessman and you travel four to five days a week, which is a real thing that people do. I'm in Minneapolis for the week. I'm put up in a hotel room, but how sick would it be if I had a dog? Yeah. that people do i'm in minneapolis for the week i'm put up in a hotel room but how sick would it be if i had a dog yeah i wish i had a dog to like i mean there is a serious advantage like emotional

advantage to having a dog around that i think people would value and i'm i think there's so many negative i like reasons for this idea but i think there's also a decent yeah i'm just trying to think like i think if you got in with a humane society, that could maybe work. I don't know. I need to think more about it. I'll think about it more before I take it to Cuban and Herjavec. Don't think about it much more.

You're going to forget about it. What's up, guys? It's me. I'm Brad Ellis from Kansas City, Kansas. And this is Airbnb Bark. Gosh, that's good. good oh that's so good we gotta have the catch i feel like this is like a nbc thing they always make them like hey i know you probably don't have there i feel like they make them say a cheesy catchphrase because they all start with right how what would one be for dogs like um you know what i'm saying like they come in and like it's

like a weird call to action before they get into their pitch. Yeah. They always, yeah, they always do that. And do you know that those sales pitches are usually like an hour and a half, two hours long? Whoa. And all we see is like a four minute version or whatever.

I was blown away when I heard that. An hour, an hour and a half. They ask them so many questions and just grill them for so long. That's cool. Yeah, it is. But at the same time time i wish i saw more of that stuff because then they kind of cut and edit it to make it look more dramatic or more yeah i had no idea make the person look more professional or less professional or something like that yeah that gives them so much more like leeway when it comes time to i'm starting to doubt that it's an hour and a half maybe it's

maybe it's an hour to an hour and a half maybe not two hours but it's a long time well i read and asked me anything one time of oh nice robert herjavec or barbara corcoran or something like that did you ever hear uh great hitterberg and i's idea for an airbnb that's an escape room airbnb it's like uh it's like you don't tell them where the key is and if you can find it, you give them some clues if they can find it in like an hour then you get like some money shaved off that's fun but your base price can be a little bit higher because it's a little bit of an experience

I like that we found ourselves accidentally doing that in Australia we couldn't find the key and that was what led to that idea but we were like man that could be fun just clues of where the key is and then hey if you didn't find it in and then that was what led to that idea. But we're like, man, that could be fun. There's clues of where the key is. And then, hey,

if you didn't find it in an hour, I'll just give it to you and hope you had a good time. I love thinking of new business ideas like that. Yeah. No one has made the combined washer dryer since I had that idea

like eight years ago. Somebody's out there slaving away, trying right now. We got any Nikolai Teslas listening. Washer on top, trap door connected to the dryer on bottom. You don't have to switch your clothes. The wet clothes just fall into the dryer, automatically goes. Driver's sheet's already in it.
