Jake, I was with Isaac the other day, delivering a table with him. And we were just talking about random things and talking about playing basketball outside growing up and how we used to always reenact like three, two, three, two, one, shooting it and everything. We always pretended like we were different players and everything. And Isaac and I both were like, oh, and if you missed, it was like, oh, he got fouled. He got fouled. Or, oh, there's still 0.3 seconds left on the court.

It's like we were winning anyway. It didn't matter. It's fine. We all get participation trophies. Um, but the, the thing that I kind of the realization, the funny thing I thought is like, why don't we pretend like back then we pretended to be whoever, you know, Steve Nash, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, whoever. I don't know why Steve Nash is the first one that I thought of, you know, that Canadian point guard, Dana Barrows, um, Rick Barry, Antonio McDyess, uh, Corey Maggette, Sean Marion, really mediocre

guys, uh, Jr. Smith. And, um, anyway, but why don't we ever pretend to be people anymore? Like, why don't we ever like stopped? Yeah. Like as adults, when was the last time you've been playing with your friends? You're like, okay, you be, you know, whatever you be LeBron, I'll be AD. All right, let's go. Yeah. Like, whatever. Like, why don't we do that in our, in our lives whenever we're, you know, taking the trash out or something like you be Tony Danza from that trash man movie.

I'm going to say, maybe I should start doing it before I shoot a video for Trey. All right. I'll be Spielberg. You be Diaprio go here we go maybe they should start doing that for influence like kids maybe they're gonna start being like okay you be jake i'll be trey oh that's a fun thought do you think like maybe some kids out there listening to this like the year is 2032 yeah in little little um what's his name moses marxist oh we went opposite directions there yeah marx marxist like some like few is that what you said i swear that's what you said little marxist little marxist little freudian a little communist out there

I don't care who you are. And as you saying that, I was like, that's so true. Every time someone has texted me, you've been like, Oh, Amish jams. I'm like, you listen to the podcast. No, that totally happened to me. Yes, Catherine's brother sent me something the other day, like a, uh, YouTube clip that would like be funny with Amish jams and stuff. And I was like, what? It was like Monday at like 10 AM too. That's like the biggest compliment is when you like get it like almost immediately. Like it's like, it's a regular thing in their day, like in their week.

Don't make fun of me in the YouTube premiere comments, okay, guys? Come on. Don't say that. Kirstie, We're friends. Um, no, I, uh, I was, I was a bachelor last week and I don't like it one day, two days. Maybe I like it. I'll say it. I'll say it. It's kind of fun being by yourself. It's like Las Vegas. Yes. Fun idea. Fun for 24 to 36 hours. I that's legitimate. Exactly the right amount of hours at las vegas and for about johan bachelin bachelor party yeah no the the one the only thing that i like

continued to enjoy about my family being gone and really my wife being gone is that i could sleep with the window open oh katherine does not like it mostly because she's worried that people are gonna like come and like intrude our house. If the windows open. Well, yeah, it's that time of year. Well, how often do people just walk around like, like flashing their light in the window? Nah, that one's closed. Closed again. Like we never see like people just walking around our house. Like, oh gosh, Brad, that was close.

So a good thing our window was closed. And the nerve it would take. I mean, I've thought about this before. Just like I could never break an inner. That'd be so scary. Right, right, right. Imagine being like, hey, this window is open. You want to go in it?

You want to call like I can't physically climb through a window. Think about getting out of a pool. A window is even higher than that. The upper body strength to go from here up. And how much more like strength does concrete have than those little window sills? Not as much or more. Your hands are going to than those little window sills not as much like you're more your hands are going to be falling from the sills yeah uh i i just i'm just like katherine we're we're going to be fine let's have a little nice breeze some fresh air and we

don't have like a fence around our house like you know and so it's like oh i just we're so much more susceptible no we're not we're we're living like the nicest county in america basically katherine should be uh like an actuary i have a friend who's an actuary all i do is just like manage risk or whatever like on a long cane poly that's yeah yeah make it rain rain man ice man yeah that should be katherine's like second job maybe oh she would love it i don't know if that's true. I don't know. Kath, if you're out there. Kath, Catherine's brother.

Maybe mention it to Catherine. I don't know. Hey, babe, you're going to be an actuary, babe. All right. Anyway. Actuary. Yeah, it was good though. Yeah, it was a good week.

I played some pickleball. Had some good times. I hurt my back really bad. Like really, really, really bad. So that was not fun. Like to the point where I stood up a few times and I could not stand up all the way. Dang. That's annoying. I think it was when I moved. So I helped Isaac move that table. Like we literally drove like two hours to his aunt's house. He built this table for his aunt and I don't know, it was a

pretty heavy table. And I think I just lifted it wrong or something. So my lower back was messed up. It still is a little messed up, but it's so funny. Like, um, I picked up Catherine on Monday and like, first of all, I didn't, I tried to be like, Hey, can I wait till Tuesday? Cause the chiefs play on Monday. Uh, and she's like, well, I think you should probably prioritize your family a little bit before the chiefs. And I was like, I was like, so I tried to be nice about it, but I was like, Catherine, we got to get back for the chiefs. And I was like, I was like, so I tried to be nice about it, but I was like, Catherine, we got to get back for the cheesecake. She's like, I'm just telling you, it's not all about, it's on all in my control. What if your son needs to eat and we have to stop? And I'm like, then we need to pick you up at like eight in the morning. Okay. Um, anyway, but we got home. It was

fine. But, uh, I was like, I don't know if I should pick her up on Monday because my back's hurting and like driving the car for eight hours is going to be struggle. Uh, but then you or Peter or somebody texted like a group chat, uh, of us pickleballers and was like, Hey, should we play pickle before the chiefs game? I was like, yeah, like I could barely move, but it's like, like, you know what I'm talking about? Like you have like irrational things where you're just like, that didn't help. Yeah. Or, or just like, I don't care. I don't, I don't care. Like, like you have like irrational things where you're just like that couldn't help yeah or just like i don't care i don't i don't care like like kind of like when you like eat a ton but then people are like you guys want to go get ice cream it's like yeah i can make room yeah i could find it i could find out you know it's like i could find the

healthy part of my back for two hours to play pickleball on right or it's like well once i get warm like it's good for my body loosens up yeah I was, I was genuinely like, and I can just not imagine like if, if I told Catherine, like, Hey, I don't think I can pick you up today. Cause of my back. And then she checks my location. I'm at the pickleball courts. She's like, Oh really? You're like, no, just keep it score for the boys. Yeah. Just with the boys, you know, can't wait to tell the boys about that. Just making the Patreon content, you know, it's a, it's a big part of our income now that I quit the, quit the church.

So, um, do you think you have a slipped disc? Cause I like that terminology. I don't know what it means, but it sounds cool. Like, yeah,

it is kind of like an old jukebox is broken. Oh yeah. Jerry, you got on slip the desk. Hey, Hey, what do we got here? More breathing. Do some quick lamaze what's going on with the jukebox hey i don't know it's working okay okay uh get get back to

locomotion huh uh no i i imagine a slip disc being like the most painful thing like very sharp pain whereas mine is like you never hear about discs in the back until they're slipped. No, you never have like a, are they like a traction disc? Yeah. Always slipping or like, yeah. Needles. Great needles. Right on the disc needles.

Right where it needs to be. Right. And then one false move, Ben with your back and not your knees. Yep. Now you got to slip D slip D. Yeah. Yep. That's what that is.

And so I don't know about a slipped disc man uh that's it tell me about your week um i went to los angelos yeah that's right yeah um which is cool the city of angels city of angels yeah it was good it was a good time oh fun fact though you're never gonna believe this turns out whoa you i'm trying to i'm trying to wrap your head around my head around the idea that i'm never going to believe it never are you ready for this one we used to do this thing at camp uh there was this girl that would always come up and do like she was like the programs girl unofficial we didn't have an official programs unofficial sounds like you gave her the job of programs like hey don't actually call her that.

That's not really. Well, she did other stuff, but like, whatever. It doesn't matter. That's two technical things that people don't care about that much. But, uh, she always came up for every K life and like did a little quick skit. That was like all she did for programs. Okay. And she was not the best at it.

Um, her name was Tropicana. Her name was Anna, but we had a nickname for Tropicana. That's nice. Um, and she would always say now you might be thinking to yourself and then she would say it and then we all like she said it every time and like not on purpose and we would just like get in like the goofiest voice and

just make fun of her so you might be thinking yourself now why would we do that and I would go over to my co-host and be like what what I would do that why would we do that what why would we do this and she's like trying to like keep going and you might be thinking yourself that's too good to be true that's too good to be true mickey like you know just saying all this different stuff and uh so

dude a guy i went to high school with he would always say now don't ask me why, but, and then no matter what he said, be like, wait, why don't, don't ask me, don't, I don't know why. No, I'm not an expert. That's what your dad said. Yeah. No, I'm no doctor, but, uh, oh, okay. Uh, so, so anyway, you're never going to believe this. I'm never going to believe this. Oh yeah. You're never going to believe this turns out. Uh, I don't know if this is just in Los angeles or if this is nationwide yeah if your driver's license is expired you can't get a rental car oh who knew it's not it's not like a legal way to drive yeah turns out they don't allow you to drive like that is like the main thing you need to drive and if it's not uh working they won't let you i was i was about to say well why can't you

show your passport but that's not that's not the permission to drive that's just your id permission to travel to ecuador basically so do you have to bring uh your passport whenever you fly yeah okay yeah which is you know it's honestly not bad because wallet or like you know driver's license you got to take the license out of the wallet and put it back in you're justifying this and passports pretty quick it's also like bigger and thicker in your pocket anyway yeah yeah it's not bad it's really not bad guys yeah next time you guys go out to a bar take your passport it's real quick real quick draw on it oh this is kind of embarrassing but there was one time uh we were going gambling at the casino and i really wanted to go and i couldn't find my id but i was like i gotta go we gotta go play blackjack together we were in this phase of playing blackjack so i just went and got

my passport and brought my passport to the casino for id so that's great why won't they let you smile on passport pictures since when did we become unrecognizable when we smile we're not chimpanzees well let me see okay now now there's jake yeah i don't know yeah yeah it's just like yeah uh and you can do a soft soft smile you can do like you can do aristotle smiles uh which is just uh no teeth aristotle did not have any teeth did you know that and he was scared of uh primates aristotle oh really yeah okay yeah that's why he wouldn't show hisates. Aristotle. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's why he wouldn't show his teeth to them.

It used to be Eris, Erisole. Cause he didn't have any teeth. Erisole. Kind of like Eris. No T's. T's. No, don't tease. No T's.

Yeah. So you can be like, but you really, I, I next, next podcast or podcast, next passport picture. I'm going to like really soft smile. Like you can't show passport picture. I'm going to like really soft smile. Like you can't show your teeth. I'm going to be like, it looked like the ball novice, like the ball novice billboard, you know, that one where he's like sticking his face out.

The eyes are kind of bugged. Oh man, that's a good face. Yeah, man. Good passport face. Anyway. Yeah. I couldn't get a rental car, which is kind of like a little joy in life of mine i love getting a rental car in like a new

city and it's kind of discovering it driving around yeah it's clean it's got all these features efficient yeah it's it's got so many features that my car doesn't have keyless entry phenomenal uh yeah that's all really all it takes to be nicer my car leaks yeah um the air conditioner works as soon as you turn the car on rear cameras are not backup cameras those are so cool best i don't i don't know if i can like reverse a car anymore without them yeah i'm sure once you get used to it i'm very scared no i talked to katherine about it like i'm really scared like we talked with the windows open about it and then i get scared i have to close them oh they're gonna get us but um yeah so i just went to la just uh hadn't been there i

think since we started the podcast actually i used to go to la all the time and haven't been in probably a year and a half or so so i just went to see some friends hang out um so because i didn't get a rental car i had to take some ubers so got some uber stories for you okay um nothing like you know the dallas strip club which is a sequel to the Dallas buyers club. Actually they bought it. So then they strip it away. Um, no. Uh, what was the, what was the guy's name? Um, the rapper's name from 52 Savage. He got a feature of 52 dang and 25 cent. Yeah. Um, let's see. So Ubers very first one of the entire weekend um i had a little time at the airport it's so hey let's put a little old spice in that hair i'm about to see some attractive people yeah la you gotta up your game yeah yeah it's been a couple maybe months since i put anything

in my hair so it was time yeah so i'm looking good we get in the uber and all four windows are down and i'm like this isn't great. And so, you know, he's asking me, hey, how's the temperature? Can I make it more comfortable for you? And I was like, if you don't mind, could you roll my windows up? And he's like, oh, because of Corona,

because of the pandemic, we have to keep the windows down. He's like, I can roll mine up if you want. I'm like, that's not gonna help much. So he rolls his window up. And so I'm like, whatever, I guess those are the rules. I'm gonna have to get used to things different in LA. I get to dinner with the people.

Well, yeah, you're on the right track. I get to dinner. Like, how was your flight? You know, I'm like, good. I slept the whole way. Uh, how was your ride in good, a little windy. Uh, but it was fine. You know, I'm sure you guys are used to it.

What's like a, like a foreigner getting like American idioms wrong? Like trying to really get it. I saw wolf and I run like the breeze. Almost. So close. I run like hot air. Yeah. And I said ride like the wind, bull.

Almost. Yeah. Figures of speech are really hard for any non-native speaker to stay yeah um it's high now i can't remember how that conversation oh actually it'd be a good conversation he was asking me what i did that's what he was doing and i was like what do you want to do though and he's like no one ever asked me this and then we end up having like a really cool conversation about his like goals and dreams now that I'm thinking about it. So maybe that's like the thing you should ask every stranger. Yeah. What do you want to do? Yeah. What do you want to do? Like, yeah, that's,

that's much better than like, what do you do? Cause people aren't always proud of that. People are always excited about it. Everyone's got dreams. Yeah. Yeah. Oh no, I remember. Yeah. I was like, where would you want to be living and what would you want to be doing in the future and he said i want to live oh got it yeah yeah i i think jake i would like to live on island with many beaches and a place where people are genuine to each other oh that's a nice dream that sounds nice i told him all about kawaii i was like i think you really like it yeah he's like i'm going tomorrow he's like, I'm going tomorrow. He's like, I have green card. It's very green there. I was like, perfect.

He didn't say that. That would be very impressive if he could say that. He could understand the two different definitions of green right there. Yeah, but it was great.

It was when I was in eighth

grade. So it's been a while. You go to LA, you got to do like one thing. What would it be? Oh. Or you got to eat one thing. You got to see like whatever. It doesn't have to be like, I got to go to Runyon Canyon, but it's like, I got to go to, I got to see this, you know, generic thing. Like you can be like, I got to go to the beach or I got to whatever. It doesn't have to be like, I got to go to Runyon Canyon, but is it like, I got to go to, I got to see this, you know, generic thing. Like you can be like, I got to go to the beach or I got to whatever. That's a good question. Put me on the spot. You got to wear a mask. I'll say that.

Whoa. Was not prepared. I mean, I had a mask. I guess I was prepared. I woke up in the middle of the night and somebody was standing over me. Put your mask on. Put it on. Put your mask on.

People will freak out if you do that. What are you, a fat checker? What are you? What are are you a fat checker fat checker yeah uh if you're going to la you gotta i mean ryan and kenan's honestly a pretty like hot spot okay one of my friends uh she said she saw justin bieber there one time so i mean come on i listened to the song what what uh holy oh oh okay let's talk what do you think uh i liked it i liked it i liked it way better than the dan and shay 10 000 hours yeah oh my gosh that song is so bad or so not good um no this one was good it it keeps with you it sticks with you uh let's do it

probably five times in the car with isaac isaac loves it every time i've gotten in the car with isaac and he's driving, he'll start with it. He's like, yeah, we're going to listen to the song a lot. And I was like, okay. Uh,

yeah, it was good. It wasn't like breath or didn't blow you away. Yeah. Didn't, did not blow my, blow my socks off. Um,

but, uh, there's an episode of comedians and cars getting coffee, which I recommend everyone watching. Well, any of them, they're so funny, but the Brian Regan episode is one of of my favorites and they're talking about how

you know people always say i mean it didn't blow me away and they're like everyone loves to be blown away these days everyone wants to be blown away how was this it was good yeah didn't blow me away blow me away and then brian regan goes hey how's that dynamite you bought? He's like, I'm here, aren't I? Didn't blow me away. So good. Yeah, you don't really want to be blown away. Some things you don't want to be blown away. That's pretty funny.

I'm here, aren't I? Communities and Cars Getting Coffee very loosely inspired this podcast. True or false? To me, it did. Oh, really? I don't think it had anything to do with me wanting to do it. I was just starting to listen to so many podcasts. my personality is like i can't just listen and not be a part of it i remember i have to participate seriously i remember i think it was when you're

still in la is when that was getting big and i remember watching it and then i took you to the airport a few times and i feel like do you mean still in dallas what do you mean by still in la i mean still in dallas i mean you were down i mean d-a-l-l-a there's la la d-a-l-l-a oh okay uh and i was taking you back to the airport or something i remember thinking like these conversations are kind of like the conversations they have in that show. Yeah. And that show's pretty popular.

Maybe we should like record these. And then, yeah, we kind of obviously did more stuff. So maybe it was a little bit of that. It was the McDonald's conversations. Yeah. And then I was just starting to listen to a lot of comedy podcasts. Like, I got to try.

Yeah, I got to try this. Anyway. If you're going to LA, run in Canada. Dude, you know what I love about LA? And I'm sure once you live there for two weeks, you, like, all right, I'm over this, whatever. The billboards there are all like entertainment based. They're all like Netflix originals. OK.

They're like Hulu specials or like someone's comedy special. It's just like it's so noticeably different. Like there's no law firms. There's no real estate attorney. Yeah. You know, it's not like some dentist. Right. Or anything. It's all. Because they probably can't afford whatever, you know it's not like some dentist right or anything it's all they probably can't afford whatever you know ad space that that could be true as well

maybe there's like a dentist you know on the in the ghetto sure yeah but it's um yeah just another little joy of la netflix originals on the billboards okay there you go so if you go to la just look look in the sky look at the billboards. That's my suggestion. Did you have any good food in LA? What's LA known for? I had an acai bowl. Oh. Which, I mean.

I mean. If you're not eating acai bowls. It's time. Come on. You need to. Come on. You need to start if you're not already. Jump on the train. All aboard.

Come on, ride the train. Come on, ride the train. Acai. Acai. Okay. Any i had uh at a thing at a thing at a thing uh hey give me five give me ten hey had a thing had a couple things that chicken at a went to a place called dave's hot chicken oh very good you ever had dave's hot chicken no but i love hot chicken i've had hot chicken dave's hot chicken was nice went there with a lot of people apparently follower i learned because I put her on Instagram.

Average fashion blogger went there with her, which is fun, dude. Yeah. You posted that on Instagram. And so then I click on her profile. She's got like 350,000. Yeah. The reason I know about her is Sydney bar. Really?

Because they were friends in college with went to Oklahoma state. Oh yeah. I remember Sydney came home from OSU for winter break and she was like, Oh, I was sitting in the couch. Oh, I was sitting on your couch in your room. My wait hold on in my room no sorry window open sick wolves near in the living room of your old house that's a fox not native to this area wouldn't be surprised no i was sitting on the living room in your old house gosh dang it dude why do i have a podcast on the couch in the living room in your old house because Sidney gosh dang it dude why do

I have a podcast on the couch in the living room your old house Sidney was there visiting Catherine I was probably there visiting you and Sidney was like hey one of my friends just started this Instagram it's so funny it's called average fashion blogger I was like follower of 18 or something I think really yeah Sidney told me about it right when she got started and um so we've been friends I shot a couple videos for back when i lived in yeah la yeah dal yeah la the la of north texas yeah yeah and um yeah it was fun just uh because she's like big time now she's like got a deal with comedy central like works for them yeah dude it's crazy she's become good friends with megan trainer randomly got her fun oh. All about that base and that friendship.

Oh wow. I can't think of any good puns for that right now. No. Yeah. I've done my head. It's fine. No, no trouble.

You know, all about that friendship. No trouble. She, um, I do. I'm happy to clear my, what's going on. It's the,

it's the air down here. When I was getting your camera ready, it was super hazy again. So I do think there's a lot of dust in the air. Really? Isaac's been going to town the last few days. So that could honestly be it. I was encouraging her a lot too. She doesn't have a podcast and she's obviously very, very funny. Right. Um, even while we were there, so many people recognized her like I would say, you know, Trey, Trey level recognizable. Yeah. Yeah. LA even that's impressive too. Seriously.

Yeah. And, uh, I was like, you should really start a podcast i was like you'd be surprised how like like i don't know not how easy it is but it's like people aren't expecting too much i was like i think you're probably putting too much pressure on yourself yeah you just talk and just be yourself find a good co-host find someone you can bounce things off of yeah and make it happen make it happen it's easy yeah that's all my food. Uh, whatever. Dave's hot chicken. I say, that's fun. Um, I say, I went some, this is not that revolutionary of a thing compared to what you all that's,

that's amazing. Yeah. Uh, Isaac and I hung out all day Sunday afternoon, all day Sunday afternoon, uh, watching football and we ordered pizza and we, it's just fun to order pizza.

Right. It's fun. It's fun. It's fun. It just fun to order pizza. Yeah. It's fun. It's fun. It's fun to suggest ordering pizza too. Hey, I was thinking we'd get a pizza. Dude.

Yeah. Let's do it. I wasn't going to say anything, but I was thinking pizza. You like, I like pizza too. What? What?

Pepperoni. Pepperoni. Suggesting pizza. So fun. It is. Let's see. Let's just always do that. Like that like anywhere we go hey you guys want to get pizza you kind of knock on the table a bit we thinking pizza and then just make everyone else be the bad guy of like actually we already had dinner plans or anyway uh okay okay personal pan then i guess i guess that guess it's like a little personal pan.

No, we ordered a pizza and we went and picked it up because we're not going to be chumps and pay the delivery fee. And we had to go get drinks from Quick Trip. Also, that would have been a perfect installation of Just Drinks. Dude, people DM me like crazy about Just Drinks. They want it. I don't know why we're not doing it. They want it.

I mean, we're losing literally thousands of dollars every day that we don't do it.'re not doing they want it i i mean we're we could make we we're losing literally thousands of dollars every day that we don't do hand over fist i love that phrase because i have no idea what it means it means like i think it's like a rock paper scissors hand always over your oh we know your fist i was saying your wrist hand over wrist it's like yeah duh hand over fist it's like a rock paper scissors thing i think oh maybe hand over fist over scissors hand over yeah hand over fist over sis or maybe it's like hey let's close the deal back in the old days they would just hand over sure i i i see i agree i see um sure that's what they would say too they would just say sure sure hand over fist hey hand over fist me brother no no no no that's what they would say it's in a book i'll i'll derail a little bit from

that from um scott our friend scott self back in the day and we still do it now probably more than ever because we're hanging out with him but he used to always say sure whenever he was excited about something oh yeah and it was kind of annoying but now it's like we say it all the time like like anytime we're playing pickleball it's a good shot it's like oh sure sure after this are we thinking pizza sure sure sure sure but it was yeah it was always like instead of like saying like oh that's a great idea sure oh oh that yeah sure for sure sure uh so anyway we pick up this pizza and we are going to the pizza hut to pick it up and all of a sudden we notice the pizza hut has a sign for a drive-thru and i know that doesn't sound that revolutionary yeah isaac told me about this you don't think it's awesome i feel like i've known so many pizza that's been drive-thrus before really yeah i really think so no no not me dude no not me dude this was my first pizza

um did you ever watch a little or three ninjas growing up no they had the bad guys the bad guys were like these like california surfer dudes and their classic line they like pretend to serve like deliver them pizza and then whenever they got there, they actually kidnapped them. Good move. He goes, we're not here to kill you. We're just here to kidnap you. Is that him holding

pizza? He's holding pizza right there. Sure. Okay, fine. Then you're hating on my drive-thru pizza. Sorry, Isaac is also so excited to tell me. We were so hyped. We were like, and it was raining. And so it was like, this is awesome. Thank goodness we're on an Uber. Oh, yeah, exactly. We were not six feet apart. We were in the car together and we had our windows up and it was

fine. The more I think about it, I don't know if I've seen a ton of pizza huts with drive-thrus, but the pizza hut in Bolivar, where I went to college, had a drive-thrus but the pizza hut in bolivar okay i went to college had a drive-thru so four straight years of you know seeing that yeah getting that hand over fisting that you know i was like i'm used to that i understand that it's certainly not the first pizza or pizza place to ever have a drive you walk in you did it first one this is an idea overland park oh yeah this is an idea no it was just like but it was just wonderful like because you're not used to it kind of like a chipotle they're starting to have chipotle drive-thrus that's awesome yeah that's nice oh sure oh sure so sure i will say that's smart of

you guys i never utilize it the way it probably should be where like hey just come and pick it up through the drive-thru i would always like order you. You would order it there? Just be there for 15 minutes. You jerk. There's people behind you like, I'm waiting on my online order here. And you're just like, sorry, they haven't made my Canadian bacon yet. Canadian and bacon. Canadian bacon. Yeah.

that fun because first of all almost everyone has a different favorite episode that was but the slight like uh mode if you will mean median mode sure yeah which also talk about hand over fist confusing mean median mode why can't it say average average or like most popular average most popular uh the one in the middle that doesn't matter what am i ever gonna median yeah i guess median test median love the median median income yeah sure i'd rather see mean income yeah me very nice income i'll give you 45 000 a year hey sure sure hand over fist. Wow. Where am I? Mean mean in mode. We are off the rails. What did I?

Where am I at? Chelsea Maskey. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is that where I'm at? And I asked you, I asked people about favorite episodes. Oh yeah.

That was great. A lot of people's favorite episode is Karen in the airport. Episode 62. Yeah. So if you're a new listener, you haven't listened to that one. Die right into episode 62. Yeah. That was the one we were dancing in the club.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was a great one. That was all timer for sure. Yeah. But yeah, was when we were dancing in the club. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a great one. That was all timer for sure. Yeah. But yeah, that girl that I saw in the airport my first time flying since the pandemic thought she was someone else.

Then get to the airport in California and she's there. You're Chelsea Massey. Yeah. Yeah. L.A.X. Airport. That's crazy. I thought I'd recognize that name, but I couldn't remember why.

Yeah. Chelsea Massey. Massey in the mask. Maskey. So that was kind of crazy. So I'm like, we are from a one stoplight town and we've seen each other twice in two different airports. Oh, she's a Stratford girl.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Ready? What a coinkity. Is that good? That was good.

Yeah. We're going to build up. Second one. Yeah. I was driving this week. Never going to believe this. You're never going to believe this. Never going to believe this. I saw this little place selling delicious jams and jellies.

It said Mormon jams. Crazy. I almost spilled my drink. Craziest thing. Are you serious? No. I was like, whoa. I forgot my other coinkydink.

Oh, okay. So I just thought I'd just say that. Whoa. Pizza and a drive-thru. What a quickening. Mormon jams. Oh, man. I don't have any Mormon jams, but you can imagine.

Yeah, oh yeah. Shirley Temple? Is she a singer? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's obviously a drink. Dude, no, you should go back and watch Shirley Temple videos. She good? Amazing. Really? Amazing. Amazing. drink dude no you should go back and watch shirley temple videos she good amazing really amazing

yeah katherine's like such an old soul and so she shows haddy all these old videos that makes sense which is really fun because then haddy likes all that stuff and it's like yeah this is awesome i see why people love this she's i don't know how old she is she's got to be four or five or younger okay and she does some incredible things like she tap dances and sings at the same time as like a great actress. And she's just really cute. Like she's just like such an adorable little girl. Like of a little girl. Yeah.

It really is amazing. I remember it's the Mason Ramsey of their day. I say Mason Rudolph. I almost did. I was like, that's not it. That's not it. I remember back in the day,

like when we first got cable, it'd be like, I don't know, 1230 at night. I'm watching, you know, comedy central or something. And then this we first got cable, it'd be like, I don't know, 1230 at night. I'm watching, you know, comedy central or something. And then this infomercial would come on and be like, you want the Shirley Temple on four CD or four like DVDs. And that's how I learned about Shirley Temple is because they were trying to sell me these

black and white little girl tap dancing videos. I just thought it was like a drink that you got like cherry Sprite basically. Yeah. Do you remember that Instagram account? Uh, the Shirley Temple boy or whatever. Whatever happened to him? I don't know. He was a cute little kid.

Yeah. Yeah. I also felt like maybe his parents had a gun to his head behind the camera. Review it. Airsoft gun. Airsoft gun. Orange tip. Orange tip.

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Cute kid, though. Cute kid. Dude, I'm so looking forward to tomorrow night. Brad and I are playing in our first, it's not quite a tournament but our first uh little pickle thing together yeah oh it's gonna be so fun i can't wait to see you play against strangers i don't know yeah we're definitely i'm making a patreon video for sure tell me what i should be expecting i i like i think i'll be fine

but i'm not looking forward to it as much because it's strangers i mean i am but i'm not because i don't know how to just whoop strangers butts. You know, I killed you on that shot. You know, like I'd say don't touch their butts, but don't worry to whoop them. Okay.

Yeah. Don't worry to whoop their butts. That's what I'm going to, that's how I'm going to introduce myself every time. Hey, Hey, what's up Lisa? Okay.

I'm Brad. That's my buddy Jake. And he, he was the one who told me not to touch your butts. Yeah. So I'm going to go ahead and whoop them. Oh, bad boy. Yeah. Bad boy. touch your butts. Yeah. So I'm going to go ahead and whoop them. Oh, bad boy.

Yeah. Bad boy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, uh, what to expect?

I mean, yeah, they won't be talking nearly as much as we are used to talking in a game. Do they know our lingo? Luff them up. I don't think they know anything that we've ever said. I'm just going to use all the inside jokes and like, just talk to them very seriously and make them think like they don't know

what they're talking about. Dude. I don't think. Nice love. Nice love. We never talked about this, but when you came to watch Isaac and I at that Lenexa pickleball tournament, you're standing behind the fence.

I mean like right behind us. And we had like some people watching. There's probably six or seven people. Oh sure. 11 at least. Maybe it does. I don't know. 11,000.

I'm sorry. Yeah. So there's 14 people watching us. Oh, yeah. Brad is in the middle of all of them. They're all watching our game, standing up against the fence. And I can hear Brad in the middle of our game

just using this made-up pickleball lingo that we use and no one else. And Brad's going, I'll tell you what, I've watched pickleball probably six or seven years. I've never seen one laugh him up like that. I forgot I said that. like we're in the middle of playing and i hear that like oh my gosh just making stuff up to all these like huge like

pickleball oh yeah oh yeah like they're there watching pickleball right and i'm just looking like a scout because i'm not playing i'm just there with my daughter I've never seen a lot of pickleball. Oh, man. Never seen a laugh like that. Like, what are you talking about? I didn't know that you heard me say that. It was so good. You were like, you had names for the guy on the team.

Oh, let's go Johnny Manziel. Okay. Oh, that was so good. Johnny. Okay. So, yeah, that'll be good tomorrow night. I mean, you're so good at like warming people up instantly all you have to do i think is when you introduce yourself you know you do the paddle touch oh hey what's your name okay so you start there you know you get names

and i think you make a quick joke a quick little jab at yourself maybe them i don't know yeah lighten the mood and then it's like the dam is broken levy's levy's broke okay the jab will be yeah i'm a little out of shape i don't know if I can do this all night. And then they'll kind of laugh and be like, that guy knows what I'm talking about. Maybe it's just, yeah, you keep jabbing yourself like, this is my first pickleball tournament. I didn't even know we played to seven. Gotcha. I know we played to nine.

Double. Joke guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. First serve of the night. you just serve it like it's tennis just throw it real high up in the air hit it over your head oh wait just ace them yes one oh take the ball ball back 102 thanks that's great um so that'll be fun definitely got to get a patreon video out of that our first tournament me you gunner isaac oh sure it's gonna

missouri kansas la people would never i met someone or i would meet someone and they would say, Oh, Jake from state farm. No. So three times in one week, a black dog coffee. No, no thanks. Yeah. Uh,

don't remember the other places. Doesn't matter. I just, it's, it's over. This commercial is six years old. Yeah. And every time I've lost all politeness,

I go just as deadpan as possible. Oh wow. That's the first time I heard that one and then one guy this week goes dude no way couldn't pick up on it oh poor guy

it might have been Scotty from New York from the Saddle Ranch table dude are you for real you serious that was your first time the first time huh

really what I never thought Jake from no it's a commercial put on a boob tube every once in a while, huh? Anyway. That's all I have to say. Stop calling me Jake or stay far.

Has that been going on for six years with you? Yeah, but not that often. Like three times in one week. It's crazy. I might go a full month without hearing that. And yeah, it's like all those type of instances. I blame. Who do you blame?

Patrick Mahomes? No, Fauci and Corona. Because, because everyone's watching TV. They're all at home watching, sitting around. of instances i blame who do you blame patrick holmes no fauci and corona because because everyone's watching tv they're all at home watching sitting around yeah watching uh yeah football and patrick holmes probably because he's in the commercials yeah he said jake from safe arm he's having a good year man i love those comments yeah i'm sure you guys all know out there y'all follow him and britney they're pregonaut with a child um kind of explains the engagement that's okay shotgun in more than one way am i right why did he why

why 80 days but uh yeah all the comments are just like dude this is the only guy not having a bad year like how does this dude do it just like one after another super bowl mvp yeah part of we all had to suffer for pat Mahomes to flourish. I don't know if that's true. I don't think that's how the world works. That's not biblical. Right? Well, and that's the thing is most Instagram comments are biblically based, but some of

those, I'm like, I don't think so. Yeah. I don't think that's biblical. That's Old Testament, man. Come on. I don't know that. Brad, do you want to get some voice memos? Yes, please.

Let's do it. Jake from Safe Farm. Hey, do you want to get some voice memos? Yes, please. Let's do it. Jake from Safe Farm. Hey, Jake and Brad. Hey. It's Clint here from the I Am Down Boys. I was just... I sent you guys my Qdoba video and it did not go well. I pushed and I got a no.

I got a full scoop. And so I just, I receded. I receded and I should have ask for a little bit more. And been a little more persuasive. But I got something else on my mind. I'm a senior in high school, and we have been asked to give our senior quotes. And I was wondering what you guys want me to put down.

And then this spring, I will take a picture of the quote that you guys decided on, and it will be in my yearbook. Let me know. Make it a good one. The power and authority. Also, if you come to Traverse City, that would be so fine. I love it. I love it because normally everyone was going to say the cheese right there, right?

Like you were waiting for it. Or at least a bye-bye. That would be so fine. They set the trends, man. They would be so far. They, they set the trends, man. They don't follow them. I love it. That would be so fun. Wow. I love the power in this. Okay. You have a way better answer than me. So I'm going to answer first. Okay. Okay. Or maybe we can tag team this or whatever. Um, let's say there's a girl that you're in love with, uh, at the school. I love it. So whenever like whenever you're about

to graduate high school, you're probably not going to go to the same college. I mean, it's likely that you might, but not always go to the same college as this girl that you have a crush on. And so it's like this is the prime time to shoot your shot. Oh, so it's time to shoot your shot in the in the quote of your yearbook. And if you fail, it's a great memory. So you, let's say the girl's name is Ashley. Last name Bennett, Ashley Bennett. You say, uh, Ashley, it's been a minute since we've talked, but I would really like to go on a date with you. Something very simple. And that'd be legendary though. Like, remember time that clint asked a girl out with his senior quote and then if they get married oh my gosh oh hot travesty dogs all right let's raise the stakes a little bit clint if you end up using that one

you and ashley bennett get married uh-huh brad and i ring bears joint ring bears no yeah and bow we'll put bow on our backs i want no i well i don't know where bow goes but i want to look like that like cute little kid ring bear like i want you pulling me in a wagon but just two grown adults just one pulling another one in a wagon i've got the ring you know what ashley would appreciate it like that's the kind of like she's a good girl like that she appreciates it yeah no i think yeah whatever if you guys get married off this then we will we will like officiate dj whatever you want at your wedding yeah we'll do something free pro bone pro bone yeah so that's a good one and then your wedding night well never mind so you know you get it you

can put two and two together hello uh okay so that's my answer that's really good the first thing that i thought of is just uh back in the day so speaking of love my old tinder bio when i was really in the game uh was just this joke that i still really like and it's so your senior quote would be fun fact or maybe just did you know that if you took out someone else's small intestine and stretched it out end to end, you would go to prison. That could be your senior quote. It's a good joke. The other thing I thought of was I used to do this joke format on Twitter. I just went and pulled up my old Twitter. We're rocking November 2014. I used to be really, really into Twitter

back then. November 2014. I was about to get engaged. No. To be married? No, I was already married. Sorry. I was married in January 2014. Oh, okay. I've been so married by this point. Oh, so married. I figured it all out. Here are just some examples that I think would be kind of a funny senior quote. You do it with a lot of line

breaks, a lot like Brad sent in emails. Yeah, bullet point. Which one do I start with? john lives in small town line break oh yeah john loves politics yeah john runs for office john wins election john mayor yeah so i did a lot of these i'll just rattle them off now that you know the format okay carrie plays hide and seek uh-huh carrie goes to forest kerry nowhere to be found kerry under what yeah yeah yeah um blake is tired blake needs to study blake takes adderall blake lively that's good they're so dumb uh we got a few more uh oh december 2014 it took me a while uh orlando

is a seed orlando has been planted. Orlando has been watered. Orlando blue. Yeah. I love it. All right. See if you can get this one. Okay. I mean, they've all been extremely easy.

So, fun. Mariah has heavy box. Mariah Carey. Yep. Oh, sorry. Mariah can't push. Mariah can't pull. Mariah Carey.

I love it. I got two more. Okay. Okay. I'm going to save the hardest one for last. So this is not hardest. Okay. David freshman.

David tryout for team. David get cut. David tryout next year. David make team. David start varsity. David Letterman. Oh, that's good. I would struggle on that one.

That would take a while. Yeah. Because David's so generic of a name that I was like David and Goliath yeah yeah um

okay Stevie becomes tree Stevie is the only one in the forest Stevie fall Stevie doesn't have ears anymore Stevie wonder

Stevie wonder yeah like the old riddle like if a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound it's a little uh not that good but uh maybe it is i don't know let me know in the five star reviews down below which of your favorite uh tweets yeah was yours oh i like that um okay so maybe we we

we meld that's the right word right meld don't recede no no no seed clint seeds out the word i think it's could seed maybe uh or yeah just or say never mind okay uh we we we combine our two answers and oh you use her name we say amanda really wants to uh ash, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley really wants to pack a lot, pack, pack, pack some heat. No, I'm trying to remember that video. This year is an Aspen. Um, no, no, no. She wants to, she wants to, um, Oh, what's something really, uh, like long and malleable.

Oh, like a, Ooh, like a pool noodle. Ashley wants to pack her pool noodle for the beach. Ashley tries to get it in her car, but can't quite stuff it in. Ashley realizes that pools noodles are moldable. So Ashley Bennett. Dang. Yeah. Now that's good yeah that's really succinct and then you have to do this hand motion actually been it been it been it been it sure sure sure yeah maybe all right clint you got a lot of good options um don't let us down that's awesome all right that's all you get nope oh man okay on to the next one mir Miranda. Hi, Jake and Brad. Miranda here from San Diego, California.

I am a new listener, but already a big fan. Trying to catch up on past episodes, but we'll have well over, actually probably about 75 hours to catch up on. Anyways, I have a question for you. It's been a crazy year. Very political with election coming up. And so I was just wondering, who are you voting for? Just kidding. Too political. But I was wondering that if we were to change the candidates to be either Chick-fil-A or Chipotle and all that they

embody and stand for, who would you want to run the country and who would you vote for and why secondly brad my husband is a woodworker and i've already am thinking about christmas presents do you have any recommendations for a good gift to give to someone who likes to do woodworking well that's it i haven't caught up on the inside joke yet about this but i feel like i have to say bye-bye that's awesome that's great like i don't even know what's going on with this. I don't know why they say you should really go Catholic, but I'm going to say it, I guess. That's great.

Okay, if Chick-fil-A and Chipotle were running for president. Chick-fil-A. I mean, Chick-fil-A, they just do so much right. I would for sure let them run the country. Yeah. Look at the way, look how hard. Imagine how fast those covid tests would go oh my gosh look look how hard and like solid they can make people work for minimum wage like that's

crazy it's true that they're whatever they're doing something right they're so motivating yeah everything yeah everything they do is is right yeah in so many ways uh i have nothing else to say about it besides just yes chick-fil-A of course Chick-fil-A of course of course imagine the drive-thru lanes that you could have at every single when you vote any anything is going to have a drive-thru lane it's going to be like pizza yeah of course it has a drive-thru lane Domino's yeah Chick-fil-A is president like

no problem yeah what's something that needs a drive-thru that doesn't have it it'd be like really cool pizza that's why it was awesome a pizza um let's call it i'm trying you don't have to go in for very many things these days maybe like an apple store like drive real quick iphone 12 great here it is that'd be kind of nice if it was that easy that would be nice they had to go in the post office still they have like obviously if you already have your thing you

can put it in the mail box but you do have to go to the post office uh i'm trying to you don't have to go inside very much yes drive by court that's going to be a reality show ladies and gentlemen the jury you're like looking in there do a lap you'll have to come back that's for sure going to be a tv show drive through court six years from now okay you're already here first okay drive by court drive by and then you're gonna stay in the car drive by all right um anyway okay woodworking gift woodworking gifts um we'll start we'll start cheap and we'll go more expensive okay a great hammer a ball bean uh a great wood working gift that I like a lot is a lefty righty measuring tape.

You can use it like either way that you're measuring. Like a lot of times the inches will only be on one side. This one has, so it's good for lefties or righties or whichever way you're measuring. That's a cheap one. So that's like no metric system involved inches on both sides. Yeah, that's nice.

You can buy the metric one. Let's go America. Number one, number one. one i tell you what lots of wolves but good country um lefty righty another cheap one is a mechanical pencil that's really nice called the fat boy you're kidding no oh and the lefty righty pencil also has a uh a pencil sharpener inside of it lefty righty uh um measuring tape has a mechanical pencil like sharpener so you can get them both and you can sharpen your pencil right there and then mark

it that's a great gift it comes with multiple different colors of lead so it's like oh i have dark walnut so i need a little bit of a red lead red lead better red letter yellow leather yeah red letter lefty righty letter um so that's a great answer right there yeah digital calipers set up bars you ever try to go analog calipers not worth it no nope no digital calipers set up bars uh digital angle gauges all a little bit higher tier yeah thanks nice things if you're really gonna get crazy let's do it murka sander that's next on my list so that is if you're a very kind wife uh because that's really expensive murka sander murka sander so um yeah that's good list sander i hardly marker how about that clint that's good what do you think about that huh you want to put that in the yearbook

huh oh i can't wait to find out who cl's crush is. Actually, you should probably wait. Give it like six months. Gosh, I hope he doesn't have a girlfriend. I hope. Break up. Yeah, if you have a girlfriend, Clint, you got to break up with her for the sake of the podcast. Commit to the bit.

Yeah. Do it. Do it for us. All right. Ready for the next one? Yes. Go. Hey, Bradley and Jacob.

This is Taylor from Oklahoma City. I really just wanted to give a quick shout out to Caleb or Rufus from Oklahoma City who left a voice memo in episode 72. I haven't met anyone from Oklahoma City who also listens to the podcast. So Caleb, just wondering, did it hurt when you fell from best friend heaven? Let's go. Anyways, I think it'd be fun to hang out. So just let me know somehow. I guess I didn't really think this far into it but my real question is Jake and Brad I need a new Netflix show

to watch do either of you have anything to suggest all right suggest she says suggest dude forget the Netflix show we got up and forget Clinton is girl we got a romance brewing right here Tay and Kay oh that's nice that's a Netflix show that's what you's a netflix show um yeah that's what

you should be watching your own rom-com unfold before you uh we have plenty of other oklahoma esther esther our friend esther esty saw her this weekend that's the other thing we can talk about she she like specifically was like i'm not gonna make that voice that you always like she always we always give her a hard time because she always goes huh she's like i'm not gonna make that voice you can't like, she always, we always give her a hard time because she always goes, huh? She's like, I'm not going to make that voice. You can't make fun of me for it. Did you make the voice? She didn't. Good job, Esther. She is so swag. I love Esther so much. Oh, here's a funny story from Esther. We were at, it was, so Catherine was still in Texas because she was sick and whatever. I told you about that last week. So it was me and Esther

on the side of the booth. And then on the other side of the booth is Peter and Sophie, Peter and Sophie are married. Esther and I not married. Got it. Uh, so we had this waiter and the waiter was not the best waiter I've ever had in my life, but he was fine. Um, didn't blow you away. Yeah, it didn't blow me away. Uh, but at the end of the meal, he's like, uh, now are we all on one check? Are we separate checks? And I was like, uh, those two are together. And then we were both separate. He's like, okay, that's kind of what I thought. That's kind of what I thought.

I looked at as I was like, what, what is this? Like I could love this woman. I was just like, like, why did he assume that Esther and I weren't together? But Peter and Sophie were, I could love this woman so much. It was just unbelievable. I was like, Esther and I weren't together, but Peter and Sophie were. I could love this moment so much. It was just unbelievable. I was like, Esther and I are great friends. And you're like, it's not like you're, you look like a very different age or anything. I think that's really the only thing.

We were one year apart. They would be like, oh, okay. I figured you were probably father, daughter or something. Like if you were 20 years apart. Oh yeah. You could easily be lovers. That's right. Esther, if you're listening, we could easily be lovers.

Okay. Okay. Okay. That's what I thought. She's going to be like, Brad, why'd you say lovers? Okay. Taylor and Caleb. Here's, I'm not ready to get on the Netflix thing.

I'm ready to stay on T and K. Yeah. I think right now we plan something for them. We make it easy for them. Like y'all DM us. Let's, or how should, I don't know how we're going to get them like y'all dm us let's or how should i don't know how we're gonna get them connected but let's plan what they're gonna do yeah dm us they're gonna yeah podcast on instagram dm us on ghostbusters podcast instagram and then we'll

connect you guys or dm us on patreon probably uh you know pay five bucks a month that more regularly you can cancel any time dm us there 15 if you really want us to see 15 we'll see fast i might see you at a wedding soon, too. And then, okay. And then, yeah, we'll be like an operator. We'll connect them. Okay. And here's what they're going to do. They're going to, let's plan a little day date for them.

I'm thinking, first of all, they go to, they probably go to Bondi Bowls in Oklahoma City. Oh, that place is hopping. Yeah. I asked Esther about that. She's like, oh, it's crazy. Like, yeah. She knows? Oh, yeah.

Okay. She knows. She knows. She knows. Bondi Bowls. Bondi Bowls bondi dang it i could have done better i wanted that to go better okay tay and k you're gonna get some uh bondi bowls okay and then you're gonna go to top golf oh and it's gonna be so fun yeah the weather bowls um that sounds nice no it's up to them up fun. Yeah. The weather bowls. Um, that sounds nice. No, it's up to them. Up to them.

They can eat them wherever they want. Yeah. And it's going to be so fun. You're going to get a good, uh, you know, vibe for like, how athletic are they? How coordinated are they? And then what are you gonna do after that, Brad? Oh, I caught that bug and then didn't do anything about it. I just released him.

Catcher release. That's my thing. Good for you. Ethical. They're going to go to top golf and then they're gonna be like whoo that really worked up an appetite for biking and then they're gonna go on the uh public bike system that i'm sure that every city has now i would have bet five hundred dollars you're gonna say pizza there wow that really threw me off i really worked up an appetite for biking anybody want to order some bikes

anybody want to drive through uh the bike shop okay so then they take their bikes through the drive-thru of the pizza don't order in advance no and they just more quality time yeah they just sit there and get to know each other and then they're like this is going great do you want to watch this netflix show that brad and jake just suggested for us oh yeah it's called uh king of queens what is on netflix these days i just watched the taylor swift documentary this weekend oh she's such a great actress oh i kind of yeah i am on a taylor swift kick now aren't i yeah i guess so what's wrong with me i love taylor swift it's a good documentary yeah we don't have to talk about taylor swift anymore but have you watched the last dance because if

you haven't that's a great documentary about michael jordan yeah it's really interesting even if you're not a big sports fan i think it would be good okay um good suggestion uh i watched the social dilemma okay um that's not really a show though no it's not fun if you haven't watched the office i'd really recommend that that's a good show um i don't know we're so bad at this i know i'm sorry i'm sorry i don't watch anything i watch office parks and rec Girl. But those are all shows that you've probably watched already. Probably heard other people talk about those before. Blacklist is a fun one if you haven't watched that. It's really fun.

Okay. Okay. All right. I bet she feels satisfied with our answers. Okay. Okay, let's do another one. Hey, Jake and Brad. This is Kristen from Austin, Texas.

I am a new listener as of a few weeks ago, and I love the podcast. You guys are so funny. Keep it going. It's great. Thanks. This first part actually goes out to Megan, Jake's friend, who had the wedding reception bar idea. Let's go. I kid you not. I've had the exact same idea, and I think it's awesome. So Megan, if you are interested in partnering let me know i'm sure we can get connected somehow um but i'm here for it okay and secondly if we end up doing

this reception bar music will be very important so jake and brad what is one song that we should absolutely play at this place and what is one song we should absolutely avoid because music honestly makes or breaks the reception so we'd love to hear your opinions on that thanks guys uh one two three you want to say it on three one two three yeah by usher of course it's got to be it's it's got to be at every playlist i don't care if there are two 75 year old women who nah two 75 year old people men and a woman that are getting married i don't care if only 75 year old women who nah two 75 year old people men and a woman that are getting married i don't care if only 75 year old women are on the dance floor play peace up a town down and people will lose it yeah it will blow them away that will get yourself blown away put the

window up you know get some nice wind going and those those fragile old ladies taking the lowest will literally blow away okay let's try to think of a song that's like maybe not on the typical playlist that they should have there. Okay. But I do have opinions about that is that that's half the battle is that they have to know the song. I think it's really hard to play a song that people don't know and they get really into it.

That's definitely a good point. You don't want to get too weird. But I'm not necessarily saying like, yeah, don't play any song that's not in the Spotify wedding playlist. I'm just saying like, yeah, certain songs out there are just like like scott and i dj'd aaron bowling's wedding scott loved the song you and scott did yeah you were there i didn't know that scott was there i didn't oh yeah i guess you didn't even really know that scott and i had been in the same room before yeah uh oh yeah um so scott and i dj'd that wedding and he really really wanted to play

the song mi gente you know and because he's like so into reggae he's so into like hispanic rap like reggae tone and all this stuff um and i was like dude i don't know if we should play it like i don't know if people like kind of say in the theory yeah yeah yeah he's like dude no it's so good that doesn't matter if it's if people know it i was like okay and we played it and like everyone left oh scott and it is a banger it's a great song uh and it became a lot more popular once beyonce did a version of it but um anyway it is just yeah you gotta you gotta find the balance um lip gloss spoiler alert is uh one of my favorites that's like known but not like so known and not like such a stereotypical wedding song yeah that's good i that's definitely gonna

make my playlist but i don't know if it makes other people's i don't know if it's like as common i just love any any song that has like those first few seconds of like what's the song and then she goes hello like oh it's like oh hello yeah um maybe yeah what starts so good maybe tootsie roll okay that one yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that starts good and it's like oh here we go now we're dancing i don't know if that's on a typical playlist songs to avoid give you plenty cotton eye joe uh cupid shuffle okay anything where there's a synchronized dance wobble uh gosh i i electric slide cha-cha slide i love them i love them all oh i hate those i love i can't express myself bad no you can no that's the whole point is like i still do everyone else is just cha-cha and real smooth and you're like cha-cha and real smooth i mean don't get me wrong

i'm still like getting after it in my own way, but I'd rather like have some space to do my own thing rather than just like, we're all just, Cupid Shuffle goes on three and a half minutes too long. Stop playing the full song of Cupid Shuffle. It's so frustrating. No, no, no. Wow, we would not DJ well together.

Gosh, I love playing the entire song every time. That's my rule. That's the only reason to have a human instead of just a Spotify playlist. You can like fade out and start the new song. That's fair. That's fair. Cause if it's just,

if you're going to play the full song, then you don't even need a DJ. Just set a three second crossfade and let that sucker go to town. Don't love crossfades either. Gosh, I'm anti crossfade. We are not because I want, I want you to be able to hear the hello.

And if, if you're already playing, shut up and dance with me, which I don't like that song. That could be, you like that one? It's so good. Let's do it this weekend.

Shut up and dance. Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, man, this is a good song. I don't really dislike it. I just don't think I would want it at my wedding. Oh, that's funny. Wow.

That's crazy. I can't wait to DJ your wedding for you, Jake. Just do everything wrong. I've actually already made a deal with someone like seven years ago. The guy that I communicate with via voicemail yeah we agreed back the day that i would dj his wedding and he'll dj mine that's cool he got married in 2014 okay already already cashed in for me and he's still waiting for for me he saw the writing on the wall of like yeah this guy is gonna be a while so i don't know if he's gonna remember yeah i can get a free dj now if i sign this deal yeah it worked out pretty well for stew that's funny um you could be um assistant to the

dj though okay that spot's still open assistant dj yeah assistant to the dj that could work okay uh no i i will say as far as like songs that i would not play don't play any slow songs i don't like slow songs slow songs make people leave the dance floor. And the whole point is to get people on the dance floor and keep them there. That's why I like the synchronized songs because then it's like, Hey, I know the cha-cha slide. And then you get them on there and then you play. Yeah. And it's, it's over at that point. See, I think the synchronized dance songs is like a, a cheap way of getting people on the floor. A hundred percent. I don't want to cheap. I like cheap, cheap, cheap is good. I don't want it cheap. I like cheap. Cheap. Cheap is good.

I don't see. I'm like, all right, what's the perfect song I could play right now? That's like good enough to get people on the dance floor. Yeah. Like WAP. Oh, I forgot. Oh, wait, not that. Oh gosh.

Not that WAP. A little bit of money. Yeah. Do the WAP. WAP. WAP. Like that's what's like, oh, I forgot about that song. Let's get back out here.

Yeah. That's a good one. Something like that. Oh, that's Jeremy Holiday. You're listening. Jeremy holiday does. Jeremy, if you send a video of you doing the WAP, I'll put it on our Patreon. He's the greatest. I think we should legitimately hire Jeremy to like, just go to every single wedding and just dance and like be a party starter. Really? He's the best. He's the best that I'm pretty sure that song has the line party starter in it. No, that's, that's party starter. He's a party starter.

It's J-Dash's other song, Strut. They sound exactly the same. Do the strut, strut, strut, strut. Yeah, yeah. And it's, I'll pull it up. Do the wop, wop, wop. I'm pretty sure J-Dash, strut. I can't believe I remember this.

Like this is not even like a popular song. Dude, Strut by J-Dash has 23,000 views on YouTube. Oh, wow. So you really dove deep into J-Dash at one point. It was like his number two song on Spotify. Production. It's the same exact song as wop i'm so proud of the american people though for being like that's the same song we're not giving it to them because i feel like sometimes it's like that's the same

song and we're here for it are you proud of me for not giving it to him either and recognizing it's the same song that's right because normally i don't do that that was literally like the same beat and everything i know it's crazy man did not think we would talk about jay dash this much on this episode of the podcast other ones sure sure but not this 73 sure 74 we're above that not this one let's do one or two more hey jake and brad this is matthew from Minnesota. I've been listening to you guys' old podcast. And it sucks because there are a lot of things you guys said months ago that I wish I could tell you guys about. And so my question is, if your future self had the opportunity to tell yourself now, some important piece of information, what would your future self tell you? All right, thanks. Bye bye. That's not how I thought he was going to phrase it. I was of information what would your future self tell you all right thanks

bye-bye that's not how i thought he was gonna phrase it otherwise like what would you tell your past self hey he's saying you're gonna be fine people like you even if you're big okay you're gonna smoke and hot wife but this is tougher this is what do you want to know now from the future okay no one's ever asked me this do not be afraid of wolves it was just big dog maybe that's one yeah dogs are fine dog man best friend uh i would love a heads up on like who my wife is that'd be kind of cool just like my future self is like hey you know no no no no no you you don't want that specific you want it to be like hey like kind of like how i met your mother i know maybe you haven't watched that not really but you know that it's going to

have a yellow umbrella you know the the girl that's eventually is going to have it like you need to know like yeah maybe i don't want to know hey uh like i'm not going to say exactly who your wife is but i would go to chipotle if i were you that's all you say yeah that's kind of fun you know like it's like okay wait is that where i'm gonna meet my wife i'll just go to chipotle just go to chipotle and i'd get some old spice in that hair yeah it's like every time you put old spice you go to pull you're like this could be it yeah you don't have old spice in your hair you're like why am i even here sure i'm hungry but i mean i mean she's cute but nah it's not for me uh so yeah maybe i don't want to know much of what to do maybe just what not to do yeah like even like girls to avoid like hey

that whole thing you're kind of trying to do with brooke right it's got to be a waste of time yeah you're just gonna be babbling on for her i get it yeah okay uh i get it i get it um i don't i don't get it i i think it's similar something just with my family though like hey don't don't get it. I think it's similar to something just with my family, though. Like, hey, don't make Bo do baseball. He's not good at it, and it's going to humiliate him for the rest of his life. He's going to break a few teeth. Yeah. But he's going to be really good at hockey. So really push hockey.

That would be fun. Hockey, I don't know what icing means. Yeah, offside is still confusing. What if you get something from the future that's like not quite clear enough it's just like i don't know it's like fertility drugs wait wait am i supposed to invest in them wait am i supposed to assume them are we thinking about using them yeah triplets oh is this for jake wait who then all of a sudden katherine's like uh yeah i just found this new great fertility drug should we try it like i and then you do try it and it's like 10 kids it's like oh that's what he meant by that's what the hoof yeah yeah that's what I would tell myself now is like Tesla autopilot. Whoa.

Really? Not a lot of auto, a lot of pilot. Yeah. Now I know what they call it pilot. And then all of a sudden you're flying. Yeah. So I would just leave vague, nondescript, fun things for myself now to try and decrypt. Perfect.

Nondescript to decrypt. Yeah. Receive that. Okay. Fun question, Matthew. Next one. Good evening, Josephescript to decrypt. Yeah. Receive that. Okay. Fun question, Matthew. Next one. Good evening, Joseph and Bartholomew. Just wanted to get on here and say I love the podcast.

It's literally my favorite podcast and I listen to a ton. You guys are hilarious. Keep it up. And I wanted to tell you guys that you turned me on to Chick-fil-A. Before I listened to this, I had heard everybody loving Chick-filfil-a but i wasn't convinced until i heard you guys and now whenever i can i get chick-fil-a yeah boy yeah anyway two questions pencils or pens and then the second question is who are you guys comedy influences as far as who did you like when you were younger who influenced you who do you guys like now uh comedians uh yeah anyway love the podcast you guys are stinking hilarious don't ever stop i love you guys hope

i can meet you guys in person someday bye bye that was nice that was nice don't ever stop don't ever stop you're out don't don't don't break up, you guys. OK, Jaden, good voice memo pin for sure. Yeah, you feel so much stronger. Yeah, you don't sign things in pencil. It flows nicely. You very rarely run out of ink. When was the last time you ran out of ink?

Never. I've never. It's like chapstick. I've never had one long enough to run out. Bring it. Yeah. OK, let's write as long as we can here. Uh huh. Yeah. Ink just seems are nice. So woodworking but that's it yeah that makes sense i guess it's easier to sand pins are just they're just cooler they feel better when

you write ink feels so much better than lead you know it just feels more advanced and if for a while it was like yeah but you can erase pencil and then the erasable pen was like watch this remember that yeah i never had an erasable pen oh never did they work well no i never had one yeah i think they've worked well that's kind of amazing yeah it's kind of amazing uh okay what's like oh comedy influences the big one that comes to mind for me is bo burnham he influenced a lot of the stuff i did in college. He doesn't really do anything anymore. I think Nate Bargatze's standup is funny. I don't watch that much standup partly because I don't seek it out. Partly because when people do tell me to listen to stuff, I don't think it's that funny too, dude. And I don't think, I think I'm very easy to make laugh. I laugh all the time. I don't think I'm like some like comedy snob by any means. I don't laugh very

hard at things I watch, but even if I don't laugh, I still think things are funny. But yeah, most of the comedy things, they're usually just too inappropriate to really be that funny to me. I think it's so much more skilled if you can be funny without being crude. So, um,

yeah, I agree. There's, Oh, what's his name? He's an Asian guy on Netflix. That is what you should watch next phone caller. Oh, I forget her name. Um, but, oh, what's his name? He's an Asian guy on Netflix. That is what you should watch next. Phone caller.

Oh, I forget her name. But, oh, what's his name? You know that guy? You know who I'm talking about? I was trying to find out. I think. Bobby. Bobby Lee?

Is that him? Yeah, I think so. Oh, really? I've listened to his podcast a couple times. I didn't know he was that big. He has a Netflix special? I think so. Wow. I don't know if it's like, I guess, I don't know if it's like a Netflix special, but it's

on Netflix. Oh, cool. Yeah. I had no idea he was that big. big yeah i laughed out loud a few times at that one really yeah not the cleanest thing in the world but not as bad as it can be um comedy influences i really i was i don't know obviously like the office we like are we thinking like comedians i don't know yeah because there's not that many comedians I mean, yeah, cuz I don't yeah, I don't think either. I got see you're not even really big comedian people I listen to John Panette a few times growing up people probably don't ever know who he is. No clue I don't think he influenced me that much but I listened to him. So I know his Dane Cook was okay

Daniel Tosh was really funny. Oh, yeah, I think I was in high school and then he came up with the show and so I was like Okay, I don't really love his show. Anyway. But The Office. And I think my parents had like a VHS of Best of Chris Farley SNL. Yeah, I had that. And I really did enjoy that. Best of Chris Farley, Best of Will Ferrell on SNL.

Beyond that, I grew up watching sitcoms a lot. So Full House, Family Matters, Friends, Saved by the Bell. Like those kind of things, I guess. beyond that i watched i grew up watching like sitcoms a lot so full house family matters uh friends saved by the bell like those kind of things i guess i don't know though when it comes down to the word like influence yeah i feel like it's just like my family yeah like my family is really funny i had to be funny to keep up that's fair yeah like i'm so excited like here in a few weeks going to pickleball tournament you should come run yeah like my dad and my uncle are gonna be there too oh it's gonna be so fun just like getting all of us together your dad is funny and i'm sure your uncle is too and um yeah all my just friends in high school and college or anything were so funny that yeah i think that's what really influenced me i would i

agree scott we talk about a lot now but scott is so funny and growing up was i don't think i was that funny growing up I think Scott was the funny guy uh we were like so different sizes though so I think that was kind of funny like that's mighty style or whatever but um yeah Scott was the one doing all the accents and the impressions and stuff and I was just laughing at him I was like that guy's so funny so this is great so Scott I guess you're my influence yeah Nate Bargatze and Scott Peck yep yeah it is it's so fun to make your friends laugh too oh yeah you find which friends

to do certain stuff with right yeah that's probably half of it is like you know yeah you have to know your audience when you have friends like yeah with this we don't know

what people are loving or not loving shooting blind right so anyway one last show when you were saying like The Office that's recently just been like

so good it's so funny little shout out to them it's called Real Bros of Simi Valley oh yeah you ever seen that i think i've maybe told you about it i watched the very first episode like two weeks ago okay of season one yeah okay season one was on so it's basically just these two youtubers who wrote their own show on youtube for free and then facebook watch picked it up for a season two and season three and once they got on facebook like it's so good yeah like it's it's so like

these last like few episodes and it's just crazy that it's like i think i have more respect for them because they're kind of just they feel like me i'm like this is just a couple youtubers yeah writing like this huge hilarious show and so if you're into that kind of like i don't know kind of like bro frat like parody humor is maybe a good way of describing it it's pretty funny it's a very well-written show. Those are all, it's always fun to watch guys go from that, like kind of like lonely Island,

like, uh, yeah. Or, uh, Oh, what was I going to say? Oh, like the good neighbor people.

Yeah. I was going to say, yeah. Workaholics. I think we're kind of like that. I didn't really get into that show, but I don't know. It's just cool.

It's fun to see. It's like, yeah, I've kind of been following you for a while. I'm like, right. You're so good at what you do now. Right.

That's cool. Very fun. Very cool. Okay. There's a, there's a suggestion. It's not Netflix, but it's free. Real've kind of been following you for a while i'm like right you're so good at what you do now right that's cool very fun very cool okay there's a there's a suggestion it's not netflix but it's free real bros of simi valley yeah youtube and facebook and his voice is so cool oh yeah he plays uh dylan maxwell in uh american vandal too yeah so funny they i don't know right yeah okay uh what should we do let's do review of the week brad okay review what do you call it what did i say review of the week no i'm just i'm just playing stupid it's like what did i say it's 12 20 in the morning oh my gosh i gotta get up early to play some pickleball i still gotta edit online dating part two it's gonna be a good one oh baby good one um okay my review of the week

goes to where is it at it's it says the title is i quit my job after catching up on some old episodes jake opened with an exciting quit your job after thinking about it for a bit i decided he was right and i did next week is my last day this podcast is one of the only ones i listen to consistently you can always count on it for a laugh and advice. Results, TBD. On the advice. That was from Petunia Grace. I'm sure she's downplaying the decision-making process, but it sounds like she really did quit her job.

Yeah. And I can barely even remember saying that. I remember it was the very beginning of an episode. It was at the very beginning. We were like, it's going to be a great week. Oh, yeah. Like, go seize the day. You know, do that thing in your job.

And then you're like, or quit your job, whatever you need. That's what it was. Which is funny. Cause that was the same week that I quit my job. And so, and so like, I think I quit on like a Thursday and then I listed that podcast.

It was so fresh in my mind. I was like, Oh, holy cow. Maybe cause we recorded obviously before I heard that. I'm just influencing everybody. I'm your comedy influence. Oh yeah. That's awesome. Petunia Grace. I'm just everybody. Yeah. I'm your comedy influence. Oh yeah.

That's awesome. Petunia grace. I, a good luck. I hope, I hope the next stage of life is really fun and, um, you know,

make, make the most of it. If you're, if you're doing a business or something, Petunia grace, leave us a new five star review, shout out the business and we'll shout it out here. Yeah.

Cause if, if I can tell you anything, it's just, as long as you plug your business as much as possible, people will never tired of it uh like ls custom creations like people love ls custom creations on instagram facebook ls custom creation.com people just love that for all their custom woodworking needs so um that's a good point and if you quit your time we don't know what's next and maybe we're moving to kent city and like i've always had a passion for like soda i don't know i don't know just drinks don't know. Maybe just drinks.

Maybe just drinks. Oh man, we were talking about that with Sophie Casey at breakfast the other day. How'd that come up? I think Esther was asking me about the podcast. I was thirsty. Oh, and I don't know. Anyway, but she was like, so how would it work exactly?

And like I literally was saying exactly like we were. It was just drinks, just drinks. So like people would get in line and they would order like what would like. No, they just order drinks. Just drinks. It's just drinks. So like maybe some pastries or snacks. Things you're saying are not drinks.

Yeah. So we would only have just drinks. Yeah. Esther's like, oh, they have that place in Oklahoma City that pops. It's like really cool. They have pastries and stuff like no, no, no. This is just drinks. You're not hearing me.

Just drinks. Just drinks. So. All right. right i don't maybe that's a new idea we make merch for a company that doesn't exist like have a cool logo with like a little soda like yes and like a straw coming out of it it's called just drinks it's for a company that doesn't i love it we should for sure do this i love it oh that would be great just drinks oh also while we're thinking about that i almost forgot oh yeah we were gonna we're gonna do this okay hey guys um so right now brad and i recording technically it's thursday thursday morning 12 23 we do not have merch there is no merch that exists for you guys right now but hey by the time this comes out when you're listening to this we're gonna make it happen okay so i'm gonna comment right here in the uh youtube premiere uh the

link to our merch right now um it should be i mean i'm sure the url still works ghostrunners.life for our fall merch i think we're gonna have a long sleeve comfort colors it's long sleeve t season it's hoodie season we're gonna have a hoodie yeah maybe some sort of sweatshirt yeah uh it's so fun to plug things that don't exist you guys know the design you'll check it out you'll see it we don't know it yet. What do you think? In the next three days, we're going to make it happen. Yeah.

So Ghostrunners Fall Merch is live. Yes. Hopefully. No, yeah. No, yeah. Believe in it. And then our next line of merch will be Just Drinks. Oh, it's going to be so fun.

It's going to be great. Gosh. Well, yeah, I had a thought similar to what you were just saying, what we can talk about there. My review of the week. This is more just like a, I want to know. I got to know the answer to this. yeah i had a thought similar to what you were just saying what we can talk about there um my review of the week this is more just like i want to know i gotta know the answer to this the review is from makala and it says not bad and it's it says love the podcast you guys get me through those long days of the office also big happy birthday to the mother of brad ellis do you have

any idea why this girl knew my mom's birthday? Oh, she got it right. Yes. Oh yes. I don't know. Did I mention it anywhere? I'm dead serious. Like, like I was like, I texted my mom. I was like, do you know who this is? She's like, maybe it's one of Julie's friends, my sister. I don't know. I mean, there's a chance he mentioned it. I don't remember though.

It was some crazy language in African. And I like had their songs memorized. They had no clue what I was saying. Oh, those guys got so into it. Yeah.
