So I went to Texas this past weekend and I actually said that when we, when we crossed the state lines, I was like, how do you go like this? You know, put your, put your horns up. And Catherine was like, no, like, don't do that. Don't teach her that. But I think it's like the, the, like, it just feels right. Like what do you, you don't do the sick of bears or like the, the Aggie thing. Like you just, you throw that up there when you're in Texas, cross the Texas border, wreck them tech, wreck Reckham! Reckham Gainesville! Yeah. It's like, no, I'm like, come on, Texas! Yeah!

Catherine doesn't want bad habits. No, no, no. We will raise our daughter to be a Baylor Bear. Of course, Hattie does not have the hand eye coordination yet to do anything like that. Yeah, yesterday I tried to get her to throw the hang loose. No, she can barely do three. She's working on four. Four was tough. So she kind of just goes

one two three four five i'm done yeah uh anyway it was in texas and hook them just learned that or just notice this trend i guess i don't know it's maybe it's just a southern thing maybe it's not just texas but every time you say goodbye to somebody they always tell you to drive safe or be safe all right or have a safe trip as opposed to the alternative, uh, drive reckless. Hey, y'all be careless. Be careful out there. No, y'all be careless. Uh, I don't, I don't know. It's just so funny. Like, like that's just how they, like, they don't know what else to say. And so that's like their way of filling in like the ending of a conversation. Like, all right, drive safe. You know, I don't know if they really, I mean,

surely they want you to drive safe, but I don't know. You don't have to. I think it's nice. I have family, uh, from Boston. And whenever I leave this, I say, Hey, it was good seeing you guys, uh, take off your seatbelts. And that doesn't make me feel very good. Whenever I leave town, just turn off the passenger airbag. You'll be fine. The thing, those things are hoaxes. Anyway, see you guys. Thanks for visiting. I bash your taillights out. No, I don't know when you. Good to see you guys. Thanks for visiting. I bashed your taillights out. No, I don't know when you're breaking. See you guys.

See you at Thanksgiving. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just don't worry about your blind spots. You'll be fine. All right. We'll see you. Blinders, like the horses have. Straight ahead, all right?

I packed the luggage way up high so you can't see anything out of your rear view. Hey, trust the backup camera, all right? Trust it. I trust that you'll trust the backup camera. All right. We'll see you. Drive safe now. That's great. All right. Episode 77. Jing trust that you'll trust the backup camera. All right. We'll see you. Drive safe now. That's great.

All right. Episode 77. Jingle time. Get him, Brad. This brings me back to like seventh grade middle school dance right here, baby. So, Scott, who do you think I should ask to dance with me? Like we're like all huddled around the outside. Like maybe we should just go get a drink real quick.

Aaron Bolling? No, I was going to ask Aaron Bolling. It looks awesome. to dance with me. Like we're like all huddled around the outside. Like maybe we should just go get a drink real quick. Aaron Bowling? No, I was going to ask Aaron Bowling. No, no, no. It was Wilson. Uh, uh, uh, oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts

on why me. Hey. Hoo, hoo. Two Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come on, let's have some fun and go,

go ahead, get on, got on your feet. Hey. Yeah. Since Monday's with Jake and Brad, it's the Ghost Runners podcast every Monday. Mondays are better with Jake and Brad, the Ghost Runners podcast every Monday morning with Jake and Brad, the Ghost Runners podcast. Every Monday morning with Jake and Brad.

Hey, it's the Ghost Runners, the Ghost Runners. His name is Jake. My name is Brad. And we, I'm just kidding. I'm not. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah., I'm just kidding. I'm not. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Good. Sorry. Good. Sorry. Good. Sorry. Someday I'm going to write like a whole song and I'm just going to, you're never going to see it coming.

Dude. I have a dream, uh, that someday like we will like have an original song that we've created and it just like, we, but we don't tell anyone that we've been making a song and it just like comes, I guess I'm ruining it now, but someday you're just going to hear it. Like, yeah, there'll be, there'll be surprised.

I'm just going to spoil everything. Now here's the plan. It's like we make like a, it's an original song, but it's humorous. And it's like based off of something that we would probably talk about on the podcast. So we like reverse engineer it to like,

Oh, I like this organically. And it seems like we're just talking about like, what's the deal with like, why is everyone so scared of spiders or something like that? I saw a spider on the hike the other day that I was on in Colorado. And they're like, man, someone needs to make a song about that. Like, how would it go?

And then like next thing you know, and we have a song now. No, that'd be cool. We had a song, but that's how I want to do it. It'd be so cool. And be like, whoa, this sounds really good. Oh, I like that. And they found out for it's like, no, we made it. Like you could stream it on Spotify right now.

Oh, that'd be so cool. Okay. Someday. Brad, how's your week? Week's been good. How's your sweetie? How's my sweetie? Sweetie's down in Houston right now. I don't know if I mentioned it last week. Big sweetie or little sweetie? Uh, that's a good question. Uh, big sweetie. Don't tell Catherine. Big mama. We'll call her big mama. Big mama. Um, big mama just sounds like she cooks some nice biscuits. Oh, and grit. Yeah, sure. Big mama. Catherine is down with little sweetie

bow in Houston because, um, my brother-in-law Catherine's brother, keep going nicknames because big mama's Bobo, big mama and Bobo are down in Houston, uh, with, uh, Unky Walker, um, Unky dubs and auntie row, row. Um, Robin. And they just had twin boys. We call them G Money and Palm Tree. Palm Tree. Grant and Palmer. Uh, they had twins. And so Catherine's, uh, down there with Honey, um, tending to the kids and helping them out.

So I am home alone with Hattie this week. Luckily I have awesome parents who are watching her tonight overnight so I can do this with you. So yeah, we went down to Texas this weekend for a wedding. Um, and while we were down there, it was in Waco. And then while we were down there, Catherine obviously hitched a ride down to Houston. Hattie and I went back up North and man, was it a long drive when you're the only one really having much of an adult conversation with yourself. Hattie just wanted to listen to Disney stories the whole time. And yeah,

eventually I put that headphones on her, but I feel bad. Like just be like, put your headphones on the whole time. Put your headphones on. I'll put mine on. Yeah. Right.

Pretty much make this an easy drive. So yeah, it was a fun time. We went to this wedding. Uh, it was was katherine's cousin uh we'll call him uh pewter what's his name gray urkel crew pewter i don't know pewter's kind of like gray okay maybe is it i don't know what you're saying pewter the what does that word mean it's like a color oh i didn't know that i don't own a home so i've never had to paint walls i don't know the colors of things let's see if i'm right uh a gray alloy of tin with copper and antimony you know that's a lot of

metals you know okay um utensils are sometimes made of pewter you're kidding uh so pewter had a wedding what a terrible nickname what up pewter pewter hey pewter i like the frat, pewter? Pewter. Hey, pewter. I like the frat boys. Pewter. Pewter. Pew computer. Yeah. Pewter rally. So anyway, the wedding was great. Gray's awesome.

He's a little country boy. So literally the wedding's dress code was country chic. Oh. I just wore just a button up shirt with some jeans. Did Gray boy have some boots on? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Boots with, you want to guess anything else?

Spurs on the boots? No. It's dangerous. It's dangerous. No. Yeah. Cause that would, that would have disrupted the horse that he rode in on.

That's not true, but just boots, jeans, whitewash jeans. No, that would be nice. This is, that's more tiger cake country.

No, but they did have like pleats in their jeans. I'd never seen that before. Have you? I don't know. Maybe, you know, pleats are, I don't know. You didn't know what Peter was. So yeah, they had pleats.

Like they were just like very straight lines in their jeans. It was like, you like that. Sure. It was, it was interesting at least. And he had a sport coat with the tie and then a cowboy hat, of course, looking fly. Of course. Yeah. Um, wedding was scheduled to start at five, got there in a hurry at four 52 thinking we were about to be late. You don't want to be too late to a wedding, even if you're there early and got there. And of course it was just like a happy hour,

like reception that already basically looked like it started. Like people were just drinking beers, hanging out. And, and then like probably around five, 10, the lady was like, okay, let's go ahead and move down to the wedding site. And so we like kind of migrated that way. And we were, a lot of us were sitting down and I look back and there's probably like 30 dudes, like country, Texas boys with their cowboy hats on just drinking beer and talking. And I'm like, talking to cowboys. How do we, how do we not, how do we not recognize what's going on here?

We're at a wedding, like go sit down. It was just odd. It was, it was a really odd scene and gray and the officiant of the wedding were like standing up there, like kind of waiting for the wedding to start. And I'm like, what is happening? And while they were standing there waiting, like this other random guy in the congregation, like got up and started like talking to gray, like had like a drink in his hand, just like kind of like joking around. I'm like, dude, his like, he's like waiting for his bride to come down the aisle here. You know, like it was just so much more relaxed than any other wedding I've ever been to. Like there was a dog that like was just roaming. It was the best man. It was his brother's dog. Was it the ring bearer? No, I i don't think so the irony is that dog peed on everything i hate you but i think he did the the dog did like go and go and sit on the bride's dress like during the ceremony

yeah on command or like that was an accident that was an accident i think what kind of dog uh looked like a mutt of some sort but but i don't really know what a blue healer looks like but if it i imagine that's what that looks like texan yeah yeah kind of a hunting dog i don't know i googled golden retriever puppies this week yeah yeah i just thought it was fun what'd you find there is a breeder in uh iowa okay that they're not as expensive as i thought yeah Yeah. What is it? The going rate? Purebred.

Mm-hmm. 1,400 for a male, 1,200 for a female, I think. Really? Because you get their seed. Okay. That seems like a lot. See, for some reason, I thought it was like 2,500, but I think those are golden, golden dates.

Yeah. Like the, the, the, the conglomerate, the pewters. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A little alloy, a little aluminum. Mm, yeah. Little alloy, little aluminum. Yeah, I don't know. That still seems like a lot of money for something that's, you know,

no guarantee of how they're going to do. Like, what if they're just a bad dog? Or just like, we had a dog growing up that just got some sort of cancer something like three months into it. Three months? Yeah, it was very quick. Scooter did not last long. Scooter hit the pewter real quick oh no yeah at least that's what my parents told me um

but coincidentally my mom really hated the dog all three months we had her that was weird and actually i don't think we called her scooter until after she died i'm starting to think that had something to do with it huh yeah her name was marley before that and we called her razor for a while that didn't really make sense we then we called her scooter uh i actually kind of did jokes like that the other on trey's podcast we're just naming your dogs after what they got hit by just like the 18 wheeler was a good dog yeah really liked mac truck this is a good one oh it's faithful till the end. Mongoose. We loved him. Mongoose with bars or with a pegs on the back.

Mongoose with pegs. Yep. That's what we call them. He went out doing what he loved. Um, no, I think you would be great with the dog. I think it'd be fun.

I think you would struggle with like the fact of traveling a lot though. That'd be the hardest part. Yeah. I would need to like probably co what's that called? Co train, cohabitate, co, co own, co bark, co bark. Yeah. Yeah. I would need to like probably co what's that called? Co train, cohabitate, co co-own, co-bark, co-bark. Yeah. Yeah. I would need to co-bark with someone else. And they, they also own the dog. How do you, how do you ask somebody to do that though? Like, Hey, I think a written agreement with a notary. Okay. You have, you have to have a notary public in

Kansas. Yeah. Um, so we'll see. Well, if you're out there and you're kansas person that wants to look at go have he's on a on a dog yeah on a golden how would you just only do one or are you open to a three-way uh you know what i'm not really looking to experiment at this time we're getting that crazy let's keep it let's just go one okay just go one good for you good okay thanks so golden retriever though for you let me too i really I really want a golden retriever. Oh yeah. I've always said like, it just seems so cool. They're so awesome. My Tik TOK algorithm is just all dogs, primarily golden retrievers. It's awesome. That's awesome. Yeah. I don't see any like high school girls dancing anymore. It's sweet. That is sweet. Yeah. I don't know how, but my Instagram like suggested stuff is just like

all raunch. What word you say? Raunch. Pewter. Pewter. Pewter raunch. Like Catherine the other day was on my Instagram and she like went to go like search something. She's like, oh my gosh, like what was on your Instagram? What are you looking at? Seriously. It was like, I don't know. I don't know how that happened. But now it's like, I don't know how to get it out of there.

I try to look at as many woodworking posts as I can. Yeah. And like click it as many like Anthony Davis, like unibrow pictures as I can. The opposite. Of like, he went from here to here, you know, and all this stuff. And I'm like, I don't know. I may have said this before in the podcast, but one time a girl asked me, she's like, let me see your explore page.

And I really liked that. And like, I've never had the nerve to ask anyone else, but I liked the idea of that being like a good, like, let me see your, you can see my link. Let me see yours. Yeah. It's like accountability partner. And it's like, baby, I don't know what I was doing. I don't know. Anyway. Yeah. instagram has started pushing reels a lot like i feel like my explore page the top is always like a reel that i'm not interested in at all it's always

like bikini girl but then after that it's just like nba rumors and football highlights yeah i get i get some of those every once in a while sprinkled in i feel like after the reel it's like who i actually am but at first it's like we know you're heterosexual why don't you check out the girl in bikini she's kind of dancing around on the beach maybe that they enjoy your sports maybe that makes you feel better about what's going on there hey big mama he's fine big mama big mama's house oh man that's awesome uh yeah so uh waco was fun waco waco is an interesting town man have you been there very many times oh yeah their roundabout kills this is kind of sad but they have like that roundabout is like crazy dangerous.

There's like so many accidents on the roundabout. Yeah. Okay. I think I know what you're talking about. It's a big one. Yeah. Like the one by the Magnolia. Magnolia has a restaurant right there now.

Really? I don't know why that was the first thing I thought about Waco. There's so many good things about Waco. Well, it's such an interesting place. Common grounds, Tippin Joe, Bay of the Bears,

the second home. But it's like. Griffin. Yeah. RG3. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah yeah like the campus is like amazing yeah but then this place that we stay this airbnb is like in this dumpy area you went airbnb we did we went with the uh the rest of her family a lot of us okay it was like this old like 1900s it was probably like 1990s you know 1900s yeah old, old house that was renovated and stuff.

And it was cool. Um, but yeah, it's just an interesting place. We went to this place for breakfast though. It's called Lolita's. And, uh, if you've been to Waco, if you're from Waco and you don't know Lolita's check it out, cause you can get this burrito called the Elefante, AKA elephant. It's only $6, and it is massive. $6 massive breakfast burrito. Good for you. Yes, please. It had, like, everything in it.

And it was just like, I can't believe this is $6. In Kansas City, this would be $20. So check it out. Sounds like you liked Waco. Loved it. Went up north on the way home. Went to Bucky's. We talked about this a little bit.

If you haven't been to Bucky's, y'all, yes, show them. There's a hat behind me. Bucky's is, dang it, I think genuinely, I'm not saying you have to go out of your way to go to Bucky's,

but if you're ever passing by one, you have to stop. Stop by and see them. It is one of the coolest, craziest, it's like a Walmart, Cracker Barrel,

gas station, food court, all mixed into one. And you're not exaggerating when you say Walmart. It is like a walmart cracker barrel gas station food court all mixed into one and you're not exaggerating when you say walmart like it is like a walmart yeah yeah it's huge they're all so big and like like i don't know probably a hundred gas pumps like yeah hattie was in heaven like she loved it we got all this all this food maybe i'll put it on patreon but um i got all these beaver nuggets and all these different things. Beaver nuggets. Nice. You've had them. Yeah.

Anyway, good times. So what's going on with you, Jacob? I went out of town this weekend as well. I didn't go as far south as you, but I went to Joplin, Missouri for another pickleball tournament. Slash, kind of a reason to see my family. They're kind of in that area, so it's fun. First things first, Isaac and I took

home the gold again. Of course. Of course. Yeah, get used to it. Yeah, so that was fun. We won. Was it a good competition? It was. Yeah, it wasn't bad. We had to play well to win, and we did a good job. Did you get in fights with anybody? I'm trying to think. We got in one

little argument, but nothing too bad. We were like, we got down 0-11 on a team. Would not recommend. To 15? Yeah, you played 15. Oh, wow. Yeah, I got down 0-11. But then we start making a little comeback.

And so I think it's like 1-13 we're serving. Now it's 2-13, 3-13, 4-13. Yeah, yeah. You know, whatever. So then we would keep counting up. Do you get it? Mm-hmm. Okay. So after 4. Then it would be would be five okay so you have played pickleball yeah yeah so i guess you get it i dabble it's so basically what i'm trying to say is we are saying the score out loud

a lot and isaac and i always try to take a little pride in how loud we say it because oh yeah it's like a pet peeve of mine when people are like six seven yeah like what then if what if they have the score wrong or something yeah it's like i can't hear you and i used to play quarterback when i was little and my dad taught me to like you can't just say hike you gotta like you gotta say a little gravel in your voice okay you know that's whatever yeah i didn't plan on talking about any of this stuff but basically then after we make this massive comeback the other team goes to serve and um he's like uh i think we served it whatever like five ten minutes after we've done all this thing he's like oh by the way we have 14 it was like

whoa whoa whoa you had all these opportunities to correct us and now you say it and he was like oh i didn't hear you and it was just like i don't know what we do about this now but i feel like you really could have told us 10 minutes ago and you told us now. Yeah. So that was kind of icky. You know, I was like, there's, I don't know what to do here. How do you prove it?

Like, yeah, I don't know. So that was the only issue, but so what ended up happening? I conceded. He won. Really?

Yeah. So what'd you get? But you guys ended up beating them? Uh, no, but we, they lost two games. We only lost one.

So it was fine. Okay. It's fine. Uh, but it was fun. So yeah, that was not too far away from where I'm from so my dad came to watch love it and then my sister also came to watch oh yeah um and then my mom decided to hop in the car to watch okay so that's your whole immediate family

and then my grandma grandpa decided to call so it was pretty sweet grandma grandpa had t-shirts made yeah yay jake it was the same jerseys that you and Isaac got me. Number one. So yeah, that was super fun. And the funniest part, I've talked before about how my dad's dad is just like so funny, so great, which first of all, the dude is super old. We're in a pandemic where old people are super affected by it. He's definitely immunocompromised. He has diabetes, which has been proven to be like even more like you know unsafe it's not good to have diabetes yeah in a well

with covid like it's like it affects them more okay and so first of all it comes to my pickleball tournament which is just hilarious that he's there to support me and awesome and he's on a little like hover around scooter whatever yeah the rascal and i notice like we're in like a fitness center it's an indoor fitness center and like there's like a balcony and there's like we're in like a fitness center. It's an indoor fitness center. And like, there's like a balcony and there's like an overhang where there's like treadmills and all this stuff. And in the middle of our game, I'm like hearing some like beeping.

And I'm like, I guess that's just like the treadmills or whatever, but it's like, it's not very consistent beeping. And then I realized it's my grandpa with like this like super annoying horn. Like beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. It sounds like you're like pressing a microwave button. But the thing is like, he has to turn on his like scooter and then like wait for it to like boot up and then

hit the horn so whenever we'd score a point we'd hear a horn about about like 35 to 40 seconds later so you'd have to be like i wonder what he's cheering for because it happened a while ago he never just wanted to keep the scooter on. No, no, no. Conserve the battery. So it was so funny. I mean, just like in the middle of like, you'd be ready to serve it here. So it was so funny.

I love it, man. Yeah. He was so great. And it was cool that they came, you know, I told him, I was like, pickleball is not the most spectator sport. So like, I don't know if you guys are going to enjoy this. Because you don't even really know the score. Well, your people might know the score because you're really getting that guttural.

Yeah. 15. 15. Set. 15. 8. 15. 8.

1. Ha! Yeah. So I don't know. But yeah, you can't even really know what's going on half the time because you're like, what did they say the score was? Oh, yeah. My grandparents don't know the rules. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What did they say the score was? You know? Oh, yeah. My grandparents don't other roles.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just love that. I hope I'm like that as a parent. Like I'll do, I'll go to anything my kid wants like to do, you know? Yeah.

Like if you're, if you're into robotics, let's go to the robotics meet. I don't care. Build that dog. Let's see a walk. Yeah. Totally. So that's awesome. Yeah.

So they're still supporting, which is great. Did they, they cheer a lot for you? Like every time you scored, I know your grandpa did but uh yeah just grandpa everyone else would uh it's pretty quiet i mean because it's like insanely quiet in there that's the thing it would be super cool if there were people there it would be fun to cheer yeah but it's just not not the status quo that's what's so uncomfortable that's one of those things where i'd feel uncomfortable if i was beating somebody i'd be like maybe i have some sympathy for you here i'm gonna let you score a few because i'm sorry that these people are cheering every time you screw up.

But no, they were pretty quiet. Um, every now and then, yeah, just a grandpa with the horn. And I, I'd get a little eye contact with my grandpa every now and then, and I'd show him a little nod and he'd nod back at me and that was about it. Well, you know, that like, yeah, they probably miss going to all your stuff all the time. It's like, yes, if we could do, because yeah, once you graduate college, really once you graduate high school, there's very few chances for somebody to go watch you play sports. Do anything. Yeah. So I'm sure that's really fun for them.

That's awesome. Yeah. So it was super fun. And then another kind of fun thing about Joplin is there's a little thing in town called the downstream casino. Oh, sure. Brad and I have been before before had some good times there never i've never been what you never have no i just assumed we'd been you've never been we've

been to quite a few casinos together huh that's kind of surprising downstream so downstream school because for some rule it's 18 and up instead of 21 and up well it's oklahoma right yes it is oklahoma technically so i don't know i think that's just oklahoma law oh okay or maybe it's indian good for you guys. Yeah. Hey, thanks Oklahoma. Oklahoma. And so that is enticing

to Isaac because he is 19 years old. Yeah. So we go down Friday night and, you know, find ourselves at the blackjack table. My dad and Uncle John

come up Friday night as well to hang out with us. Old Uncle Johnny, Brad's former baseball coach too, which is great. Yep. Knew I couldn't hop the fence. Old Uncle Johnny, Brad's former baseball coach too, which is great. Knew I couldn't hop the fence. Apparently goes to... Oh, we were trying to remember a story. Was it you who back

in the day, every time you... When you pitched, every time you threw the ball, your hat fell off? Was that you? No. Who was that? No, I was cooler than that, John. Come on, man. Oh, that's funny. I do kind of remember somebody like that. No, it was not me. Okay, we didn't think it was you either but who was that though i i kind of vaguely

maybe it was brady it was brady weans it was weans brady if you're out there yeah pewter pewter it up brady pewter that hat on so uh we'll say it was brady oh john goes to the downstream all the time i guess he's got all these like points stored up so he got he got Isaac and I a hotel room Friday night, which is great. Didn't have to worry about anyone in the hallway before my pickleball tournament. Just randomly standing there. Right. Which is fun. Do you think whenever he walked in, did people be like, hello, Mr. Fulbright.

Thank you for coming. Yeah. Let us know if there's anything we can do to make it more fun for you. Did you bring the Lexus or the Acura today? Where can I park it? You know, which parking spot would you like? Yeah. Front door, back door. Yeah. So maybe they know I'm there, but I would be surprised. I mean, uncle Johnny, he might be doing all right, but wouldn't know it. Cargo shorts, sketchers, uh, just full on uncle.

That's the perfect casino get up though. It is. Yeah. It's so funny too. Like this casino. I mean, most of our trip down there when we would stop at gas stations no mask you know no no rules sure and the casino is the same you don't have to wear a mask it's oklahoma oklahoma you don't have to wear a mask oh okay is that another oklahoma rule look at you knowing no one rules yeah but it's funny there were still a handful of people wearing mask and i was like but you're in a casino so do you care about or not? Right. Like you are inhaling so much smoke at a casino. And just touching everything that all these other people are touching. Totally.

You're touching money. You're touching chips. You're touching the slot machines. Like everyone's touching everything. Yeah. There's yeah. The chips, the chips are very like get passed around. Yeah.

Oh, wow. I haven't even like really thought about that too much. As soon as you walk in, there is a wrist thermometer thing, which no chance that does anything. My dad was even joking. He's like, you would have to be dead for them to not let you in. Of course, they're going to want your money. They're like, oh, you're going to spend $300 here potentially? Sure.

You're safe. Yeah, you'll be fine. And it goes way too fast to be accurate. You put your wrist up to it. It's like, you're good. It's like, there's no way you know my temperature. Just from that. I think they're just like, yeah, yeah no we've been checking everyone's temperature it works um dude i wish i would have taken a video of this but you're not really allowed to video stuff in a casino seeing my dad and my uncle and then later

my grandma the next day all gamble together was a sight to see it was like i don't even know what to compare it to basically my dad uncle and grandma go and my dad's probably not gonna like that i'm saying this like they go all the time they're just degenerate gamblers they don't go that often but they go enough to where they have enough inside jokes to where i don't even know what they're talking about i don't even know what's going on they got hand signals they got like keywords yeah yeah one time uh something started flashing on the screen and then without talking about it all three of them just start rocking back in their chair like what's going on like oh we're riding the pony yeah we're riding the pony we do this until it stops flashing

like what like how did that get started your grandma oh yeah everyone everyone's everyone's Your grandma? Oh, yeah. Everyone. I love it. Everyone's rocking. Your grandpa's in the back corner like, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. So it was just so fun seeing how much fun they have with each other. I mean, they're playing slot machines. Everyone knows slots are just such a, it's a sucker's game. You get ripped off. I think they're so boring, too. But I don't really understand how they work. And they've got to figure it out.

It's crazy. It's like one of those people who write books i'm like how to beat vegas i think they're close i think they're close to writing one of those books it's kind of scary but yeah it's just fun to see how much fun they're having even at that age right how many inside jokes they still have i love it and just how much they're hanging out with my grandma that's great and all these jokes so i just love the idea of like yeah just obviously we we do that with pickleball we have so many lingos and so many things oh glad you brought it up we played uh we played pickleball with a random guy tonight we only had three is me scott and jake evan yeah random guy was there evan and yeah like i didn't

i don't think we really made that many inside jokes but there were a few times where i was like he has no idea what we're talking about. Not a clue. Yeah, you know, even just like whenever we impersonate Ola, when we're like, three, one, doop. You know, we all laugh at it. Ha ha ha. Devin's like, okay, good one, man.

Ha ha ha. So anyway, what were you going to say? Speaking of luffing them up. What? Mm-hmm. Luff them up. I was talking to someone this week, and- Nice. Not to brag. Not not to brag but i was having a

conversation it was i message which is cool it's in the cloud yeah and blue we were sharing some of our blue good good brad yeah some of our favorite songs right now she shares one my way i'm gonna play it for you brad and just what do you what do you hear okay i don't want to laugh i don't want to laugh i don't want to laugh you anymore i don't want to laugh i don't want to laugh laugh him up i heard that i was like this is a song about pickleball i don't want to laugh i don't want to laugh i don't want to laugh i don't want to laugh oh man we're gonna start singing that a ton on the court i don't want to love you anymore i don't want to laugh. I don't want to laugh. Oh man. We're going to start singing that on the court. I don't want to love you anymore. I don't want to love you anymore. We were also talking about like,

there's not really a specific definition for love. It's like fetch and mean girls. We're just trying to make fetch happen. You don't know what it means, but just use it. Like, oh man, we really loved him on that one.

Oh, we loved. I was trying to laugh. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I don't really know what you mean.

You can just say whatever you want. No, that's amazing. I don't want to laugh. I I was trying to laugh. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I don't really know what you mean. You just say whatever you want. No, that's amazing. I don't want to laugh. I don't want to laugh. Oh man. That'd be funny to just do like, this is not enough. This is not enough.

This is not enough for me anymore. Well, he's literally rhyming enough. So he's literally saying laugh. That's yes. I don't want to laugh. I don't want, we should do like a bunch of parodies to, um, like songs that have the word love in them oh it's so easy you should go and love yourself what's love got to do yeah yeah got to do it how to love shack is a little old place

where we can get yeah love is a battlefield I mean that's true why does love always feel yeah it is

it is when you're in there never meant to start a war what is love baby don't hurt me yeah oh we could go on forever baby

you guys want more pickleball inside jokes or something else? No, they want that. Let us know in the five-star reviews below. One other thing from Joplin real quick before I forget. We would talk about Chick-fil-A a lot. You know, Chick-fil-A next is going 615 for a 10 stack. Not bad. Not bad.

And I was saying how Columbia was the fastest one I've ever seen. Joplin Chick-fil-A. This is what I'm going to do. I'm just going to go to pickleball tournaments, going to review their Chick-fil-A's. I don't know what else you need to do in life besides those two things. Oh, isn't that not the dream? Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

And you ride the pony while you're doing it. Yeah, here we go. Uh-oh. Might get chicken minis. Yeah. Oh, yeah. This one was not the fastest one. It does not compare to Columbia, but we're talking four wide, Brad.

Four wide. It was at a two. Now it's at a four. Can you believe that? Four wide. It was at a two. Now it's at a four. Can you believe that? It was crazy. It was like we were in Indianapolis 500. Yeah. Except they only go three wide.

So nevermind. That's even better. Fun fact for you guys. Okay. That's how wide they go in Indianapolis. Really? But yeah, like four. Well, you know what four wide means.

I understand now. Yeah, yeah. I get it. Just think about it more. I'll figure it out. And then you converge, obviously, into uh and uh two and then one the the two outside lanes never even get to the window they are they're just they're luffing them all day they're bringing them their stuff and they just pull out of the like exit of the parking lot they love them to their stuff love their stuff

yeah holy cow it was efficient that sounds nice yeah jopping i love i love stuff like that like how do you figure out like i love fish i love stuff like that just how you figure out the most efficient way to do something like that it was really cool like i would really enjoy that aspect of chick-fil-a it's just like figuring out how to absolutely be amazing at whatever like i think chick-fil-a would be fun or working at walmart for that same reason like all the supply chain stuff yes what's that quote you have They're not like a whatever company logistics company, whatever it is. What can Brown do for you? Yeah.

I don't know if I, did I talk about this already? Sorry. The weather. Oh, there was some guy I knew like right out of college that was working for this company that was like, that would guarantee Walmart the accurate weather, like guarantee them accurately. Don't they pay like a ton of money to have really good like meteorologists right because it's like it's so important to know what the weather is going to be like because that's how people are going to respond consumer wise and so

yeah like it was like hey it's going to snow in south dakota it's going to snow in minnesota this past week apparently big snowstorm i heard you know people are talking about it which i'm like you're from minnesota just be expected snow. They're like, guys, it's snowing in October. Yeah. You're in, you're like right by Canada. I feel like kids got snow on the ground 24 seven. It's snow. I just, it's like, I imagine the Alps. I'm like, oh, those have snow on them all the time. That's how Canada is. Like you can, you can go have pick up ice pond hockey whenever you want to pick up. Oh man, that sounds nice. They love them all the time. I bet on the pond. They go, they have their 4th of July fireworks and ice pond hockey at the same day.

Same day, Jake. So, uh, anyway, what were, oh yeah, just four wide and a Chick-fil-A.

It was cool. Just thought it needed to be mentioned. I will continue reviewing, um, Chick-fil-A's as I see fit. I like it. My dad and I used to always go to a Chipotle every time we went on like a vacation to any city. Yeah.

It was like, my dad loves like collecting business cards from different places. Yeah. It's just like a cheap way to have souvenirs. He's like, Hey, you guys have a business card. I learned that your dad likes barbecue this week. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. I don't know. We need to say more than that, but yeah, that's, that's cool that your dad is a barbecue judge, like sanctioned. Yeah. Which is, is kind of a joke, honestly. I don't think it's that hard to become a barbecue judge. More than I am. Yeah, it's kind of interesting, though.

Yeah, he goes to barbecue contests and gets to try food for free. That's a good gig. He learned after like the first one, I think, not to eat very much of each of them, though. Because they give you like a full plate for every single contestant. Good for him. And yeah, he like, so sweet, you know, so he was like chowing down, but they give you like, you know, 45, 50 contestants worth of food to try. And so it's like, I don't know if it's really, it's a lot. So it was awesome. Whenever he would go to his contest, he would always come back with like these bags of like all the leftovers and stuff

that we would eat bag of bones. Yeah, it was yeah he's a certified barbecue judge i don't know if he's done it much lately he's been doing missional work and you know huh just serving the lord and i wonder if that's his being a grandpa probably not as fulfilling but maybe he likes it i mean not literally filling you know so anyway he's awesome he's the he's the best so yeah yeah ray just kind of randomly brought that up yeah he said what's up ray what's up ray i don't know if this is a podcast or not but yeah this this dad of a friend of mine was like talking new brad from childhood and he was like you know brad's dad is the one who got me into barbecue like what does that even mean like like eating barbecue like i didn't know that about dad, much less like he almost made it seem like I should

have known that about him. You're probably wondering how I got a barbecue. Thing is, it's Brad's dad. Right. Like you just walk in, you're like, this is a barbecue house right here. I can tell. No. Okay.

I do have a few more interesting things about my dad and barbecue. Okay. We probably won't ever talk about it again. So it's just a great opportunity. One thing is that he started, he used to work for a Johnson County community college until he retired. He worked there for like 30 years and at the college, he started this club. They call it the gas barbecue club, I think, or, Oh, right. Tell me about this too. Did he talk about the old website? Yes. It was like, it was like way before

it's time. Like they just reviewed, they just, they went to a different barbecue place once a month with this club and then they would review it on this website and it would just be like these the beans are this good the chicken is this good muffin tastes bad yeah this is bad um but it was like yeah it was like the one place not the one place i'm sure but one of the only places you could find like reviews for barbecue places in kansas city and i think by the time that they were done they probably went to 150 different places. My head, my dad has them written all down, like how many times they went to each of them and stuff. Um, but then they got like recognized. They, they did like a food network, did like a piece on them at one point. Uh, my dad went to London. I don't know. Dad clarify this

for me. He did. He went to London, but I think somebody also came from London to Kansas city and like met with their club and like learned how to make barbecue. Cause Kansas city is the king of barbecue. And so he met with my dad and my dad's just, he's not like a connoisseur of how to make anything. He just knows how to eat it. It's not like he's like, Oh, I, I, he doesn't smoke meat all the time or anything. He just likes to eat it.

So anyway, that's awesome. Yeah. But dad was on the food network for like you know a quick 10 second interview at one point when they went on a barbecue crawl and um okay big barbecue guy dad loves it hook him to that i say yeah hook him baseball is finally back get in on major league action and swing for the fences with bed mgm the king of sportsbooks.

What else happened to you this week, Brad? Oh, I'm starting to build a deck. You know, like on The Office when Daryl's like,

you can call that a deck if you want, but that's just a porch. You know, he says that randomly. I feel like that's kind of what's going on. It's just a slab, like a big, big platform in the backyard of our house going out from our back door. But started building that today with Peter. Does that have anything to do with the white grass I saw in your yard last night?

What's going on there? That was I painted the grass, a table. Yeah. And it just over sprayed under the grass. Okay. Okay. Um, and yeah, yeah. Catherine wasn't too thrilled about that.

It's okay though. I was like, Kath, it's making us money. So they'll, they'll know it soon anyway. Uh, anyway, um, no, just Jake, I don't know if, if you know this fact or not, but just anytime you ever want to do anything to your house that you eventually own, just expect it to be way harder and way less fun and way more expensive than you ever think it's going to be. Trey is telling me similar lessons in his life right now too. It's amazing how often, how it's, it's kind of like when you watch a movie for the hundred

time and you're like, maybe this time the bad guy won't do this. You know, I think you think that way about movies. I think other people do like, or whatever, like just think about some time in your life where you, you keep doing the stupid things over and over and over again. You're like, why do I believe this lie again? Oh yeah. I believe lies about like when I wake up and how long it'll take me to get places. Yeah. Like I'm six minutes late to Trey's house every day. Like why, how do I, if I not learned, how have I not learned to leave earlier, Jake? You idiot.

Like, I'll get up. I'll get up early tomorrow. So I'll just go to bed now. And like, I'll set my alarm and I'll wake up on the first. Oh, yeah. Oh, easy. You know, I'm gonna open the blinds so that I wake up easier. This will work. Like, I'm so stupid.

Why? Yeah. And so every single time I do a project like this time, it's like I have optimism this time. Like, Peter says he knows what he's doing. We'll be fine. And then we were at Home Depot and Lowe's today. Just like,

what are we doing? Not fine. Yeah. But it was like, we've already, we've already dug holes. We're already in it. So we got it.

What are we going to do? Fill them in? No, no going back now. So embarrassing. Yeah. So, uh,

Peter, of course, Peter, so nonchalant, he's the one that owns his house and did a lot of really good renovations of this house already. And so he's got some cred. So he's like, yeah, this will be easy, this deck. I should not

have believed him. I had so much optimism, though, going into it. He's like, oh, it'll take five hours. Oh, wow. We worked like six hours today. We didn't even get the frame done on it. So good, good, good. Anyway, but Catherine's out of town. So Hattie and I have been hanging out. Watched the Chiefs game you yeah let's go Chiefs last night and Hattie it was fun time yeah and that's about it nice working on some tables put send that one out to Trey

do a leaf uh yeah and another table as well so okay what about you man um making making videos probably yeah I mean yeah same old same old a lot of video shot a video in here today in the ghost runner studio with trey which would be fun for people to get to see that millions of people will get to see the ghost runner studio for the first time i'm actually just now processing that for the first time that's kind of cool it's funny like i feel like we have pretty pretty tight shots of us and so we have like these random decorations in here yeah no one's seen like the russian dolls until like that last episode, which right. The Lowe's hat. You've worn that before. And like this random gift card of me that

has my picture on it. Like no one, no one sees all this stuff. I think what'll get shown today. I think that sacred sense is shown in the video. Yeah. The Jesus air freshener. Isaac's grandpa's basketball picture. I think I'll get shown in the video. Sweet. Love it. That's awesome. So yeah, I shot a video in here today, then came back down here again today to do a voiceover. I don't know if this is, I think it's a trend like girls on like Tik TOK or YouTube will get like their boyfriend to do like my boyfriend did my voiceover for like, uh, them putting on their makeup or like them doing any

kind of process. Okay. It's like take the stupid guy and have him say what's happening or whatever. Okay. And so one of my friends who's a YouTuber and does a lot of like nutrition stuff asked me to do a voiceover for her making a smoothie bowl. And I was like, yeah, for sure. I'd love to help you out. I love smoothie bowls and acai bowls, stuff like that. I prefer acai, but whatever.

Okay. Thinking it was a TikTok. She sends me like a five and a half minute, like completely mute YouTube video was like whoa it's a lot oh wow it's only five minutes of my time but it's like this is a lot of uninterrupted talking and you're you're basically trying to be funny about it though i'm trying to be funny and i think trying to say i don't know i didn't get a lot of a lot of guidance and i've never even seen one of these videos so i just like guess i don't understand what she's saying about i just sent her a thing and I said, hope this works. So this is my third, maybe fourth time in the studio today.

Um, love it. Just doing a lot of getting the studio minutes in a lot of stuff. Um, okay. A couple other things to talk about bread. Hmm. One story from,

uh, the same bonfire where I learned about your dad barbecue. Uh, kind of fun. There was a guy who left this bonfire to go inside for like five or 10 minutes. And when he came back out, okay, he pooped,

right? He pooped. That's a poop. That's a poop time. It was, yeah, it was probably like 10 minutes. Cause it's enough time for him to like,

maybe believe what I was about to say. So he comes back out and I was like, Luke, what's up, dude? I was like, Hey, we just went around the circle and we all were sharing times times we were like really embarrassed about like things that we've like

worn before like accidentally worn out in public that's fun it's so like uh your turn like what do you what do you have and he like really quickly saw right through it he's like okay did you just like totally make this up or did this is actually something and i was like no no like colin like literally just told this story and it's hilarious which i don't even know colin i met him that night i don't know why i put him on the spot and he's kind of a quieter guy but i was like you didn't you didn't like finish the story for colin you like no i put him on the spot yeah you lobbed it up there and was like yeah spike it yeah i don't know why well not even spike it like i i hit this towards the ground try and get it up over the net um love him up colin and yeah like hadn't said much all night so i'm like

why am i doing this dang it but can't take it back i was like no colin was uh just telling us this hilarious story about the time he cross-dressed and uh luke's like oh no way call him what happened and then he was like colin i think is somewhat getting what's happening but he's like so i actually went to middle school i actually did cross-dress like i wore women's jeans we all like lose it because we realize oh oh, he has a story about cross dressing. And then he just proceeds to tell us this story of like, yeah, actually just, I don't know how I got these jeans, but like, uh, yeah, yeah. I was like, because the buttons are on the wrong side. And, uh, dude, it was awesome. I was like,

I'm going to start doing this more. Just put people on the spot. Like, don't you have that story about when your tooth fell out because of the hockey puck? Let's do that. Just see if maybe they do have a story like that. Yeah. Let's do that more often. We used to like kind of do stuff like that with Lauren Dodd because Lauren Dodd just

believed everything most gullible person. So she would just ask us a question and we would kind of do that like back and forth more or less. I forgot about it. It was so fun. Those are good old days. That's how that was podcast prep for years in advance. was like yeah yeah initial improv right there um that was great and like it would take her so long to realize that we were just messing with her y'all wait

you guys are messing with me and esther's over there in the corner like yeah esther and lauren are like inseparable and yeah esther's always sought through everything anyway i forgot about that yeah good times um that's really funny so so it's just like great like i don't know any of these people that well so it was it was just great that it happened to like he legitimately had a story about cross-dressing so like how fun great now we don't need to talk about this anymore but then but then luke realized like oh yeah you could tell i think how hard we were laughing like oh okay yeah he's could tell, I think, by how hard we were laughing. Like, oh, okay, yeah, he's for sure. Like, not, this is not what we were talking about. So he didn't give one?

He did not give one. Not that I know of. So would you call him a party pooper? There it is. Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo! Okay, Brad, I'm going to send you a picture now for the next part of the podcast. Okay.

You have your computer this week, so good job. Thank you. You had to remind me. I figured you would have remembered. Okay, so one one of my friends she's actually a podcast listener she texted me this week and uh maybe this was like two weeks ago she's like you just talked about on your podcast who would be a better president chick-fil-a or chipotle i think you made the right choice but she texted me like kind of earlier in the morning and you can see it's a picture of chipotle like a chipotle meal and i just kind of look at it and i was just like oh yeah chick-fil-a

is the best or whatever do you see anything in that picture no i'm looking at it sorry okay the the silence is probably not translating well i'm looking at a mostly eaten bowl with guacamole on the like on the tinfoil lid a decent amount of it yeah um so i didn't okay that's enough so i i was just like oh yeah like chick-fil-a is great you know whatever and she was like uh look again i'm like what she's like did you see that that's a mouse the guac yeah no that's not guac that's a mouse no way i said i did not see that no way little stewart little yeah stewart very little but stewart is in a burrito bowl so is that like his tail that's his tail coming out yeah oh oh no it's so Catherine fast forward this part Catherine will never let us see a Chipotle again oh no that's funny the girl who texts me her real

name is Catherine so I thought you were kind of talking to her I was like how did you know it's like are there like did you see like who took this picture oh no no and how they there's so much of this burrito bowl eaten a lot of it is eaten that is what we need to get explanations about i mean i'd say 70 of this burrito bowl is eaten oh this is disgusting you're just continually eating it's not even the taste. It's like the smell. Like ever since I opened the lid, this smells bad. They needed your dad around, you know, professional taster. Oh my goodness. And so I'm like, no way.

I was like, is that yours? She's like, it's not mine, but it was my friend's from two weeks ago. And I was like, like, you know, this person, I was like, is she suing? Like, she's going to be very rich. And she said, yeah, they're working on it now. I was like, for real? She said, yes, for real. He posted the pic on Instagram and lawyers absolutely start flooding his DMs.

I guess that's like a normal thing. Like these lawyers who just like look for stuff like this. They have like keywords that they like go after. They just wait for people to find rats in their food and they just go to town. Oh no! You said quite the shoulder shimmy there. I can't. I just can't imagine i gotta know more

about why the frick you ate so much of this bowl i gotta know that even even if this is somebody else's bowl with that other lid if if i'm in the same chipotle restaurant as somebody who's got a mouse in their bowl i'm not eating that bowl yeah i'll go get something else that's better be shut down for a while absolutely figure it out oh my gosh what i don't care if they do uh 715 for a 20 stack that's just too much what kind of steps happen to where a mouse ends up in some ingredient and then gets like served i can't like how does it get served i I can't even imagine. Like, oh man, I gave them kind of a lot of guac, but it's been a good day.

So, you know, like plop it on there. Oh, oh, I'm really bothered by this dude. Yeah. Oh my goodness. I was afraid you might be. Yeah. Okay. So Sarah Catherine, uh, whether it's you you whether it's your friend who the mouse happened to

i can't i can't believe this we got to put this picture up on the youtube because it's just too oh yeah sorry okay everyone can take a look right now but um katie have send a voicemail have your friend send a voicemail we got to know how so much of it was eaten. That is the main mystery of the whole thing. Because a mouse is like, a mouse is hard to find if you're in a cave. A mouse is hard to find if you're in a five bedroom house. But in a burrito bowl, I think I could find a mouse pretty quick. That's so gross.

I do not like anything of this. Oh my gosh. Well, it hasn't affected me much i've had chipotle for lunch two days in a row and i've had that picture for two weeks so i mean i'm not gonna stop eating chipotle okay good but if if i ever got something like that i absolutely would i mean there's there's thousands of chipotles in america i'm not saying like if one chipotle has a mouse then all chipotles are gross yeah Yeah. Canceled. So I don't know. But yeah, anyway, I just think that's so, yeah, the eating thing is so funny to me because my brother-in-law, there's like a famous story.

There was like a commercial on for the Burger King Meat Normus one time. Okay. I don't really know what that means, but I think it's like a huge burger. Okay. And my brother-in-law is like, yeah, that thing is huge and pretty nasty. And he goes, i had a hard time finishing it and we all just like died laughing and we like call them meat and warmest now and everything i think i've told this story in the podcast before but my grandpa is like infamous

same grandpa horn grandpa has done that too just like aiden i remember one time came in from working the farm already just like super sweaty comes into our house and like eats like i think it was a bologna sandwich which is like such a grandpa thing yeah eats the whole thing and it's like we're sitting there talking he's like man i think that bologna is expired after you eat the whole thing like yeah uh that was one of the worst bologna sandwiches i've had that was just plain nasty oh that's funny that's also like a country boy thing just like i need some sustenance right i need something right now yeah that's so funny dude uh okay i gotta know more okay yeah get back to us i got three like little quick notes we're gonna go um rapid fire uh bad good bad okay bad uh just quick note they remember like an around the horn with

at the end of the episode, they'd be like, quick note, you kind of screwed this up. No, PTI. PTI. They would do that. Yes, Tony Reale.

Yes. Who eventually became the PTI guy. Okay. Sorry, Around the Horn guy. Around the Horn guy. Yeah. That's right. Yeah.

Okay, I'm waking up. That's why you thought that. Quick note from last episode. Joel Trainor was supposed to be our fact checker, never did it. That's right. JT. Slagging dog

last pastor of a church so whatever episode brad and i may or may not have talked about the bachelorette a little bit may or may not have poked a little fun at a certain woman's mom who fell and only broke her nose uh i'm here to say had no idea she had alzheimer's didn't watch the beginning of the episode felt a little bad about that afterwards so want to come clean publicly yeah i was completely ignorant and i i you wouldn't have done it you wouldn't have made fun of it if that happened i don't know but i would have at least mentioned it like now she does have alzheimer's okay but you know i think regardless of what you have it's still remarkable to fall and only break your nose yeah that's crazy yeah in fact it might be harder to

do with alzheimer's i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know no way of knowing some hymers yeah all the time uh yeah oh so yeah just felt like i needed to mention that because i i straight up i didn't know until after we recorded people let you know they they they do they do don't need joel i got other people let me know okay bad good thing good that was bad that was bad good is here to say six mondays in a row we've beat our record let's go on your feet biggest monday and ghost hunters history six weeks in a row that's really cool thank you guys um i would be surprised if it happens again what you would never i will never stop no i think um i don't know i'd be surprised yeah i'd be surprised okay but i think i think six is still great.

Now back to bad. Longsleeve Tour had some issues with our merch. Oh. But good news is Longsleeve, which is like 75% of the orders anyway, all the Longsleeves will be going out soon. Longsleeve tees. Yeah. All the Longsleeve stuff.

But there's just several things happening outside of Brad and I's control that are preventing the hoodies and crew necks from going out and we are trying to do as much as we can to get them out and we're very sorry some emails are probably going out to you this week but we're still scrambling trying to figure out what's going on but we'll figure it out they we were kind of in the dark they blame COVID and I'm like that's you can't do that anymore like I think it was a great excuse for like three three four weeks March weeks. March, April, May. Sure. Yeah.

Hey, yeah. COVID's really been like slowing us down, messing up our logistics. It's like, you've had a lot of time here, guys. You know, COVID's around, but it's not an excuse anymore. I'd love to see the Chipotle in Texas be like, oh yeah. We've been understaffed because of COVID. You know what? Rats ever since COVID, you know, we just been something about quality assurance.

Yeah. Um, yeah, we haven't had that Debbie Brown, you know, we lost Debbie Brown. And so, um, yeah, I don't know. It's just, I, you were saying to her, like Amazon's doing fine. Amazon figured it out pretty quick. Like Amazon struggle for like a week or I mean, maybe like a month where it was like hard to get stuff. It's going to take a lot longer.

It's like, man, this is like really inconvenient, but okay. I understand. Like, but then you got, then you saw it like kind of go back to normal. Like, you know, uh, grocery stores didn't have food for like, didn't always have it stocked, but it's like, oh, that's COVID, you know, whatever. It's, it's been a while. Comfort colors. You know, you, you know how to make t-shirts and the one thing you do, that's all you do. That's all a while. Comfort colors. You know, you know how to make t-shirts. It's like the one thing you do.

That's all you do. That's all you do. If it was like, hey, Brad, you got to figure out where to buy lumber because this other guy's not open for COVID. Okay. I'll figure it out in six months. By October. Yeah.

I'll probably have a spot where I get it from. Considering it's like how I make my business run. So anyway, I'm done with the COVID excuse. Speaking of that, a pickleball company who all they do is make paddles. Like some companies like Franklin. It's like Franklin still makes like baseball bats and pickleball paddles and whatever stuff. There's one. They're a pickleball company and they were out of stock of their paddles for like most

of COVID. It's like, this is all you do. You should really figure it out. Probably like find a way to make some paddles probably because people want them. It's got to be like international stuff right like china china like having a hard time shipping it over here whatever with regular i don't know what all that stuff is yeah but like i would just say don't say a joke like that in louisville but yeah other than that or knoxville whatever whatever one of those places over there one of those voles one of those okay uh shark tank idea that doesn't have anything to do with

that at all but um when i was in texas i packed a bag of luggage for texas and a couple days in i was like man i have this idea and i think it's a great idea it's uh luggage oh here hello sharks my name is brad ellis and i'm the co-founder i I'm the, I'm the founder. I'll be the founder. I'm the primary founder of luggage buddy. Okay. Luggage buddy is a modular luggage suitcase that has a separating divider where you can put your dirty clothes versus your clean clothes. What do you think, Charks? Oh, no, you got to have a little like fun, little like cheesy tag at the end. So are you thinking who wants to get clean with me and also play a little dirty? So what kind of baggage do you want me to help you out with?

I don't know. Yeah. So who wants to take a trip with me to Silicon Valley? To Profit Town. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. So who wants to take a trip with me to Silicon Valley? To Profit Town. Yeah. I don't know. I just, I think it'd be a great, like halfway through every trip, it's like, do I wear those yet?

You know? And I'm talking about my undies, you know, like, did I wear those undies yet? It's like, I think I did, you know, but it'd be so nice to just, cause I don't fold my dirty clothes. I'm not a maniac. No. You know? And then you're kind of rifling through and then you're like messing up the

order that you have for your clean clothes and all that. Do you understand? Like, I think I would mainly use it because I like this idea a lot. I would mainly use it just to have a space where my clean clothes and dirty clothes are not touching. Sure. Because that's what happens to like I normally overpack. And so on my ride home, they are there.

The clean and dirty are getting to know each other. Right. In the overhead space. Yeah. Items may shift while in transit, right? They're shifting a lot and now maybe a t-shirt slipped in there. There's no way of knowing. I don't know. I, yeah, I just think, especially depending on what you're doing, you know, you get sweaty. That's really, you don't, you definitely don't want them touching then. So sometimes I'll use a plastic bag to put them in, but I don't know. I want, I want to just a quick, easy compartment and it's patent pending. So don't steal it out there. I've tried recently to try, well, um, I have a duffel bag that I travel with. And what I've tried to do is always keep one compartment like side bag, my dirty bag.

Okay. Or my dirty. Yeah. Like the side of it, like the end cap in cap. Okay. Or my dirty, yeah, like side of it. Like the end cap? End cap. Okay. But then eventually that gets to, you have too many in there, right? Right, right. That's why you need this thing. It's modular. It can, it's a sliding scale, if you will.

Ooh, yeah. You know? Luggage buddy. Yeah, luggage buddy TM. Luggage buddy TM. Brad, that's a good idea. Thank you. Get it going.

Luggage buddy. I will. Okay, should we get some voice memos while you use some peanut M&Ms? Please. Let's do it. I'm excited about this one. We mentioned this guy last week. My hands are clean and now we got a voice memo from him. Clean hands homes is back. Thank you so much for the shout outs. Wanted to give a quick update on my hands. They are still clean. Yeah. Wanted to give a quick update on my hands. They are still clean. Yeah. All right. COVID-19 has helped with that. Lots of washings. Don't

blame COVID. So that's been great. But while I'm here, just wanted to ask a quick question. I know you have a lot of younger listeners and oftentimes they ask, you know, most embarrassing moment, blah, blah, blah. But I want to hear about some things that you guys may have done in your high school age years that were unique things that you don't think a lot of other people experience. One example would be whenever Jake and I were in high school together, our basketball team ran out to the pump up CD booties in motion volume two. Yeah, I'm down boys. You guys do some booties in motion. but I want to know what were some other weird things that you did that you think

may not have happened to other people and high schoolers now should check out looking forward to hearing from it you guys are the best booties in motion volume 1 was garbage no no no not even worth your time volume 3 they just got you know frivolous

volume 2 is right in the sweet spot. They hit their stride. Gosh, that's such a good question. And so funny that, have I mentioned that before? Have I said that to you off the podcast? I feel like for sure I've said that on a podcast somewhere. You don't recognize that? No.

Where have I said that before? Maybe, first date. That's probably it. That's probably where that got brought up. Old booties is B-O-O-T-I-E-Z. Y-Z. Oh, Y-Z. Oh, duh. I can't believe you found it.

I can't believe this is Google-able. DJ Magic Mike presents Booties in Motion. Dude, does it have a track list on it? Because I'll tell you what one of the songs is. We listen to it every, before every basketball game.

There's, no, I'm looking on Amazon. There's one review. It's from Pat Lee. Pat Lee Holmes. Yeah. Oh, man.

This is the absolute best nonstop music mix I've ever heard. And I just had to have it again. This music would now be considered old school, but it's a must have for any collection. I hope it's still nonstop. I'm pretty sure Grant was the one who found it back in the day. Some guys just like went to a thrift store and they just, you know, when you're in high school and you see a CD called Booties in Motion pulling, you're like, oh, this is great. I'm going to buy this. And then so we had this boom box that we traveled with we took

it to baseball basketball every game same boom box and we just put it in and i think like track number one was called wrangling and the chorus was basically give me a wrangling when he wants that ding-a-ling and that was all we listened to and we were just listening to it once before every basketball game. And here they are here. There, I found them. Okay.

You found the track list where it's wrangling. Oh, it's called ding-a-ling. Oh, okay. Sure. High town DJs. Uh,

number one, don't stop the rock by freestyle. When it's wheat, when I hear music by Debbie, Deb, there's one I cannot say, uh, by get funky crew.

There's electric kingdom by twilight 22. Freak it by latham turntable wizard by the bad boys of base rodeo by 95 south ding-a-ling there it is all i do beach ball that's right come on and ride it ride out donkey butt 96 that one yeah that's a good one well all we listened to was ding-a-ling. I don't even know. I think the other songs were terrible. Tear the Club Up, Raise the Roof in 2001. Just straight up, 2001.

Oh, that's awesome. DJ Magic Mike. You can buy it $14 new on bullmoose.com. Oh, shout out Bull Moose. Yeah. Free sponsor. Yeah. Let's edit that out.

I love this question just because I think everyone has great high school memories for the most part. I think my high school experience was decently unique. Most of it revolves around sports. I think I'm thankful that we were good enough at sports and our coaches were cool enough. They were like, hey, as long as you guys keep winning, you can do whatever you want. You can keep listening to Ding-a-ling.

You can keep the booties in motion, whatever. I love this question. Do you have anything? I definitely have some stuff you you go first and maybe it'll spark something because i can't think of any great things off the top of my head yeah just kind of not super funny or exciting things um okay so one thing in baseball we were just like a really just like fun like happy i don't know just like outgoing crew yeah and we were always uh just like doing dumb stuff i remember when the news came to interview our coach because we were like going to state we we're all in the background and just doing the dumbest stuff i mean like having like fake

fistfights or like just like making like diving plays and trying to like pull off the crate like just the dumbest stuff behind our coach we did um we would do this thing every now and then where we would be completely signed this is in the middle of a game right before the pitcher is like in his wind up he's about to pitch we would just like go from like really quiet to like screaming and like yeah bang on the fence or whatever did that a lot my junior year by senior year they wrote a rule in misha like missouri high school sports athletic association whatever but like you cannot make sudden noise when the pitcher is like in his motion and so we got a rule they got a strafford rule yeah yeah we got a rule written like our coach let us know he's kind of proud of us but he's like yeah because you guys did this we call

the shark attack yeah shark attack i remember that the pitcher's hat would fall off every time and just get really frustrating i remember we signed up to play fall ball one year and the the league was at the straffford fields and the games were on Saturday mornings and it was in the fall. Like it was just not even that warm. And every week it was like, why did we sign up to play fall ball? This sucks.

It was wooden bats. It was just like, not, not fun of a league hurts even more when you, yeah. Yeah. And so I remember one night, a bunch of us went out,

we late Friday night, we were going to turn on the sprinkler system to hopefully get the game canceled and we get to the what we think is like the system and we're like which switch do you think it is like i don't know i thought you knew and so we're like let's just hit that one turns on all the football lights all the track and field all the baseball lights and we're just in the middle of this field run run run um so i could probably just tell a story after story about just like athletic dumb dumb stuff that we did, man. I don't know if I did anything that fun or crazy or unique. I think I've told the story about the time I had to walk through a high school volleyball

practice in my underwear. Yeah. I love that story. Yeah. That happened. Golly. I don't know. I mean, I don't know.

I did fun things, but nothing like crazy, like out of the ordinary. Holy cow. I organized a really cool worship night in my senior year of high school. Me and my friend did. And it was kind of a cool thing for high schoolers to do, but nothing like, Oh, that's, I don't know. I was such a normal kid, I guess. I don't know. Maybe we can try to think of like, like Grant was saying, like something for high school kids out there, like ideas, like, yeah.

For instance, I don't know if this, if like people are going to high school basketball games covet you know who knows but our football guys always did a phenomenal job of like being really into like super fanning and like getting into it it wasn't just like we're gonna wear like maroon and paint our faces but there was like a theme every night and it was like well thought out and like people wanted to get invited to like know what the theme was and like small town basketball was like a huge i mean everyone's there right and i think it was like a it was like a performance piece yeah it was like uh what's that one school that like they have the magic curtain before they shoot free throws and now it's like an expected thing of like what are they gonna do what do they call that yeah people

out there if you know something of illusion like yeah the curtain of illusion or something like that who is that virginia no it's something yellow, I think, right? I don't know. Virginia Commonwealth. Yeah, VCU probably. But it's like our football. I was that guy. Yeah, for sure. I was like the guy that I loved being in the front

and like just heckling in like the most appropriate way possible. And so you couldn't get in trouble. Because so many of the guys that were also doing that kind of stuff came to the games drunk or whatever, and they would get kicked out, and they'd be stupid. yeah and i was stupid but i was always like so normally stupid yeah like i would just heckle them about the color of socks they have or you know like orange socks yeah yeah yeah and like just messing with them and stuff scott and i would do that kind of stuff and just and like you you can't really get frustrated besides just the fact that it's kind of annoying

like but the teachers can't like you know how they always have like a faculty person there. It's kind of like supposed to calm you down or whatever. Yeah. I don't know. Like they never, yeah, they never really got frustrated with this. Cause it was like,

what can you do? We just would say, you know, Hey, you know, Nino, there's a guy. I just remember Nino Williams was like this stud player.

I went and played at K state and we just heckled the crap out of Nino Williams. But he would laugh at it, you know, but he was, anyway, just having fun with it. Okay. Yeah, sorry. That's okay. You were a good boy in high school. Yeah, I was. Scott, if you're listening, which you are eventually, did we do anything crazy, man?

I don't know. That's okay. Probably not. Great question, Grant. And now I want to hang out with Grant and just talk about high know. That's okay. Probably not. Great question, Grant. And that gets, now I want to hang out with Grant and just talk about high school. Yeah. Gosh. I did an accidental kind of like drift into a mailbox one time and we just drove off. I never told my parents about that. Really? Yeah. It was a snow day. What other sketchy thing? Oh yeah, sorry. Keep going. And we went and got hot chocolate from quick trip oh crazy and then i was

in my car the nougat have i told you that my car's nickname that was the nougat no that's a fun fact yeah the noog if you will i feel like we were married for 10 years i'm like wow i'm still learning new things yeah yeah how cool is that because it was my sister's car before me one time she like pulled out really quickly or something and somebody was like oh it's got some get up in it it's like white lightning and uh somebody else is like, it's not really that white though. Cause it's pretty dirty. It's kind of like a creamy nougat. And so then ever since then it was called the noog. So, uh, yeah, we were in the new and we just took a corner, like purposely kind of drifting, drifted out and just kind of nudged a mailbox and just were like, crap, we should keep going.

It was like four houses down from Scott's house. Wow. Just kept going. I just remembered something else. I think, and maybe I've said this before on the pod. I'm sorry if I have, but I think it was sophomore. No, no, no, junior year. Not that it matters, whatever. Junior year of high school basketball. Stratford, tiny little town, one stop light.

We never get new businesses, ever. I mean, it's the same old that it's always been. But that winter we got Sunflower Tan. Oh. Oh, is that familiar? No. So it was like so cool. I love where it's always been but that winter we got sunflower tan oh oh does that familiar no so it was like so cool i love where it's going i was like this is awesome we have a new business i mean we got to get monthly memberships entire basketball team was looking dark that winter it was amazing it was awesome yeah we had a very uh very tan team it was all we would go all the time we go together we just like we're sharing lotion what lotion you've been using and you know like i don't know if you were learning how to go how to do it yeah we're like learning the ins and outs

of tanning and uh skin cancer and you know have you ever been to a tanning bed you're supposed they give you like little stickers tiny little stickers and you put it in the same place every time to give you like uh you know like a dolphin or something yeah like a little heart to give you like little stickers tiny little stickers and you put it in the same place every time to give you like a you know like a dolphin or something yeah like a little heart to give you kind of a litmus test of where you were how how it was how it's going yeah very good i can never get that right was it how's that how it started how it started how it's going and so you can imagine i mean those were just everywhere on us you you know? So yeah, that was fun. I love imagining like you're playing in like an invitational tournament or like Christmas break and all these like, that's what it was.

Bloom gold tournament. We look good. Yeah. Like, why are these guys looking like they just came from Cabo, you know, all of them like, sure. They didn't take a group trip, you know, how's this working? Oh man. So yeah, we just had a bunch of just like idiots that I ran around with, but we're pretty

skilled athletically. Um, that's awesome. I love one last one. Have I told the story about the guys who counterfeited money? Maybe. Basically, that's how it went. They just decided, you know, what would be good? Green construction paper.

We'll photocopy a $20 bill do the front the back get a glue stick just glue it together and then we'll just pass it off and the crazy thing is it worked like they got away with it at like McDonald's and I think come and go and got away with it all weekend and then like Monday morning like six cop cars showed up to Stratford and I was like oh this is a felony like all three of like some of my best friends are going to go to like federal prison maybe what happened somehow they never went to prison I think they were just like really leaning on because they were really big fines or something i don't even know i think a crazy amount of community service but i don't even totally know really what happened

but yeah it was like pretty scary yeah and none of them could play sports their senior year so i feel bad for them and weren't you kind of like you did say this on the podcast one time but i can't remember were you like almost involved with it but then not or was it like no i mean they were some of my best friends but at the same time i didn't necessarily hang out with these guys on like friday and saturday nights yeah you know sure so i wouldn't have necessarily been with them but i mean i hung out with these guys all the time and it was really sad it was like it was our shortstop and our center fielder you know they don't get to play their like senior year baseball yeah they both end up playing college baseball i think but not the offers they could have gotten what'd you put what's what position were you in baseball

um i was like second base up until senior year that was third base okay is that okay third base yeah that's very good strong arm third it's like we're talking about girls uh second base then you got senior year I was second base. Then he got the third base! Senior year! Senior year! I did it! Pewter! Pewter! Pewter. Yeah. Jan, when Michael says he got to second base, is that like he closed a deal?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's take 10. Okay, Grant, great question. I will stop. Fun question, Grant. There might not be anything, even though I do love that question, is there anything more annoying than a guy just being like, man, high school was the best.

Right. Totally. Gosh, I wish I was back in high school. Which I had a great high school experience, but my version of that is like Kanakuk. Like, yeah, man, Kanakuk was awesome. I remember back when we were at camp, we did this, you know, like, so anyway. That's what's great about life. I mean, I know it's not the way for everyone, but like I loved high school and then got

to college. Like, oh, this is awesome. That's a hundred percent true. And then in the the summertime i get like this three month break where it gets even better right oh and then you graduate and you're like this is awesome now i can go to hawaii yeah totally that's how i feel like and drink chocolate milk whenever i want seriously whenever you want like you want it right now i can after this it's 101 right now in the morning we can have chocolate milk well covid you COVID, you can't. You have to already have it in your fridge.

Maybe a quick trip. Quick trip. Convenience. Convenience store. Yeah. Okay. Next voice memo. Hey, Jake and Brad.

How are we doing? This is Simeon from the I'm Down Boys in Traverse City. And I've just finished listening to episode 76. Heard Clint's voice memo in there. Great stuff. Jake, you had the wonderful idea to come visit Traverse City. I think you'd love it. It'd be super fun. Good idea

there. Also, your ideas for senior quotes were amazing for Clint. You got any more ideas, let me know. I have yet to pick a senior quote. And I also get a senior speech this year uh so it's live and in person recorded uh you guys give me some some phrases some ideas anything you want me to do or say

during this uh i'll do it i'm your man uh it should be good so uh thanks give up the good work love the pod and uh as my good friend said last time uh best be going now bye-bye dude i'm down boys are basically a co-host of the podcast yeah they need to answer that last question like what did we do what are you guys doing yeah gosh that's awesome he gets to do the he's what he say it's live it's in person oh and like it's recorded like so we can watch it later yeah i guess oh man we might have to keep coming back and giving you tips as we think of it one of my favorite ideas like favorite thoughts about stuff like this you know how the other guys michael keaton's like character the captain yeah like somehow just kept quoting tlc like the whole

time but not realizing it they're like not saying like you know hey i don't want to scrubs you know yeah don't go trace some waterfalls yeah you know all these different things you had to know like i don't want to creep don't creep you know whatever i think it't go trace some waterfalls. Yeah. You know, all these different things. You had to know. Like, I don't want to creep. Don't creep, you know, whatever. I think it'd be really fun to do that with like a really obscure,

but still popular, like train, for instance, be like, Hey, soul sisters, you know? I mean,

I'm luckily we had some sunshine today. Didn't want any drops of Jupiter coming down. Yeah. Anyway, like stuff like that. Like I'm so gangster. I'm so thug. What can I say?

You know, mention your chest here at some point. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Something like, anyway like stuff like that like i'm so gangster i'm so thug what can i say you know mention your chest hair at some point yeah yeah something like like just some whatever whoever the uh band is just some kind of obscure thing like that i think it's really funny um just kind of throw them in there like you can't do like justin bieber or something like that because too many people will just be like why is he quoting justin bieber the whole time yeah yeah it can't be too thick like luckily there's no paparazzi that would be a bad romance yeah hope you hope you're uh understanding that i'm making a joke and you don't see my poker face alejandro alejandro this guy gets it am i right anyway oh this is such an open-ended question there's so many good answers but i don't know what they are yeah i mean it sounds like simeon you're in good hands you remember the i'm down

voice you're gonna come up with something good i don't even know if we're the experts here this is your thing um yeah i love the idea of yeah, quoting things or referencing other things. I like the idea also of a, um, a seemingly like seeming like you're screwing something up and then actually like, kind of like, like, you know, on Willy Wonka when he pretends like he's about to fall over and then he does a somersault and gets up and he's like, yeah, like something like that, where you're like struggling. And then all of a sudden it's like oh wait no he's about to rap right now or something oh you know like he's like gosh i you know like you're like struggling with the the speech then all of a sudden boom so i just i just i just yeah oh here we go here we go like you feel bad for him at first

like this is really awkward and uncomfortable he's not set up like set up for this very well. And then, oh, contraire. Boom. Let's do this thing. I like the idea. Kind of like Michael Scott does when he's like, would they be throwing out many mounds bars? Just like chucking out like, would you be using wild berry Skittles?

Yeah, that's great. Or the other time he throws out candy. Yeah. The, what's it called it to make a hundred grand. Yes. Write that down. Yeah. Right.

Yeah. I liked anything like that. Anything where you can use props is always, always a good idea. Props is good. Or maybe just a top hat and they think it's just a funny top hat. Like you're saying but really there's there's goodies in there there's a rabbit you do you do magic yes magic's always cut a girl in half on stage that would be awesome how many how many senior speeches have you

seen that's cut a girl in half not any not any no let's do it definitely cut a girl in half that'd be awesome yeah cut a teacher in half yes yeah But do like a pretty bad job of it on purpose. That'd be funny. And then rap. A couple mini Malinsbars. Mini. I love the other minis. Couldn't spring for the big ones.

Mini Malinsbars. Okay, man. I feel like I could do way better with that question. I know. But good. You're on your own. I your own, boy. You'll be fine. Well, if we think of things, we'll tell you. I'll text you. Next one. Jake, Brad, what's up?

So, this is Ryan Pritchard from Farmington, New Mexico. I started listening at the beginning of August, and I just got all the way caught up. Wow. The last few weeks have been killer. I love the episode with the acronyms and the episode with the Amish jams. I've listened to the song Yeah more times in the past few weeks than I have in like 10 years. Because every time you guys bring it up, I'm like, man, that is a good song. And then I got to listen to it.

It is. So my question is, if you could travel to any other time period and live there for a while, what would it be? Also, you can bring one object with you or a piece of technology from today, but it couldn't be something like electricity. It's got to be something that you can actually hold in your hands and bring with you. Tangible. Anyways, keep up the good work, my dudes. Ryan, thank you.

All the way from Farmington. New mechs. Never heard of it. Me neither. Sounds nice, though. Oh, it's great in the spring. I like how he said that you would live there for a while. So you don't have to commit to this era of living forever.

Like, hey, wherever you want to go, you know, time period wise, you can live there for a while. I like that. Yeah. Like you're not committed to like, hey, if I go to the roaring 20s, I don't have to be a flapper for the rest of my life. What comes to mind first? What decade do you want to live in?

1490s, you know. Oh. Sailing the rest of my life. What comes to mind first? What decade do you want to live in? 1490s, you know. Oh. Sailing the ocean blue. Yeah. You love sailing. I do. I've always said that about myself.

That's why I live in Kansas. We're the catamaran capital of the world. And usually when I ask, like, oh, did you get a speed ticket? Yeah, I was going two knots over. You're like, you're never giving me like actual measurements. I'm always in, yeah, nautical terms. Yeah. Just one with the sea.

What'd you see? You know? Isn't that what you said the other day? one with the C. What'd you see? You know, wasn't that what you said? Yeah. Last week. What'd you see? How'd we see? Um,

I don't know. I'm so bad at these history things. Cause I don't know much about history and I'm not passionate about history, but, um, I mean, for one, we got a pretty good now,

almost any time period. I think I'm like, well, what if I get sick? I know. Then I die. I, I always, i always come back to sports for almost anything and i think that'd be really fun to like go watch baseball in its heyday i know it's like kind of there's got to be a better show with the mazio but yeah seriously i would love to watch babe ruth play a baseball game yeah i thought you said the great bambi that wimpy deer um yeah i think i think that'd be

fun whenever they played when was that in the 1950s 40s i think so i think there was like pretty not like not much else going on in the world besides baseball at that point so i'd be safe and fine to just watch baseball and enjoy myself i lean towards my first thought goes to biblical times yeah Yeah, but also I don't know if I like a man enough to live back there for a while. You live there for a while, so you could do it for a week or so. Even people do that all the time with the Daniel

diet and all that stuff. The Daniel fast. Okay, you'll be fine. They eat fish. Okay, I think so. I could eat fish. I don't know how it works. I got salmon from Cheddar's on Sunday. Did you? Yeah, it wasn't bad bold move bold move go to cheddars at all that's what everyone at the table said they also said bold move salmon i love it i love how you kind of have like an affinity for salmon like you like salmon a lot it's not bad

yeah that's funny yeah it's just i eat so much chicken that if any other thing is an option like sure yeah throw a fish my way sure um but this is maybe kind of a dorky answer but i feel like my my thing that i bring is like a like a chemistry textbook or something like that like something like a textbook that like advances something yeah like the right people would know what to do with it oh i like it like no i think i think some sort of textbook you don't bring a history book you don't let people know the future in that sense yeah i don't think and you don't want to mess things up yeah you don't alter it too much if they invented things too quickly i don't know because then what if we're like living in this world now that's like way more advanced like you come back

and like we're all like levitating everywhere because you know back in the whatever days those were i would just walk around. I'd walk around and like move my hand underneath where their feet was. And then look at him. I go, you're welcome. You're welcome. You're not having to use your feet. I did this.

I did this. Yeah. Sophomore year chemistry book. Who would have thought? Ride the pony. Yeah. That was my dad. Levitate while you ride it now.

Chemistry textbook. Huh? Give it to Jesus. That's what you'd think. John the Baptist. Yeah. John the Baptist. Kind of a chemist. Yeah. Big, big big chemistry guy he was always in the water because he knew i worked h2o he knew he got it he did the pert formula yeah yeah not because the puke formula that was pewter that was pewter yeah yeah much less popular uh chemist anyway uh yeah so some like science textbook i think would be cool and really helpful because

i was like whenever he asked that i was thinking of like a selfish answer. Like a Walkman. Like what? Yeah. Something that would like make my life more convenient. Like I'd really miss my music, you know? So I want to bring my Spotify playlist. I just got this charcoal toothbrush.

That would be cool. Dude. Catherine uses charcoal toothbrush. Isaac just got one. Did he? Yeah. That's so funny. I don't.

And she used charcoal toothpaste. Ew. Yeah. It makes your mouth look like you have charcoal. It's like so dark, but then you put it away or wash it out and it looks good. I swallowed some toothpaste the other day on accident. Oops. I haven't done that forever. Maybe ever.

It does like one of those involuntary wiggles. Oh gosh. Yeah. Got it all up in there. It's like when you eat. I know. I think you like this because you talked about it before i wiggle when i eat french toast and get an egg bite i'm like oh oh wow not like that okay yeah yeah so two things make me wiggle egg and a french toast drinking some toothpaste gross yeah i'll definitely do that sorry there you go, man. Okay. Okay. We got one from Steez. It's been a while. Hey, Big Daddy and Jake.

This is Mr. Steez checking in from Grand Marais. And I wanted to ask you guys quite an important question this evening. I wanted to know if you guys could travel back in time. No. And stop an event from happening or change the outcome of a certain event happening a historical event obviously jeez to change the course of history and make the world a better place jeez what historical event would you travel back to and what would you do would you change it or would you just altogether stop the event from happening

and why would that make a difference how would that make the world a better place you do? Would you change it or would you just altogether stop the event from happening? And why would that make a difference? How would that make the world a better place? So make sure you give this one a couple moments thought before you just dive in, take some time to consider and reflect on how you might be able to change the course of history here. Bye bye. Yeah, yeah. We're not on a podcast, so we can take all the time we need. Why do people ask us these questions? We do a comedy podcast. Why do they want to know? I'm so bad at them. Lincoln's assassination is my answer. How's that? Why? I thought about it so much. You took a couple moments. Steeze, thanks for the question though.

Yeah, man. We love you, Steeze uh because that was really bad when it happened we like it abraham lincoln we like him you don't want him to die you want to live and do big things what's what's that he dies you told me that guy dies he's one of the most influential leaders in american history and you just kill him? Don't do that. Never do that. It's Ed. He's honest Ed. Just don't kill him, please.

That's it. I don't... What? I don't know how to follow that. You got a revolver in your hand? Put the revolver down. Give me that. Give me that. John?

You don't want to do that, John. John. JW. Get out. Get out of here here i don't know if you're kyle mooney and there was shrek kyle mooney shrek to seinfeld you don't want to do that get out of here i i'm going to regret it i feel like everyone listening to this has like a good answer and like, oh, they should think of this. Yeah. Abraham Lincoln, there's no way people are going to be like, that's a bad answer, right? They're going to be like, he needed to die. I don't think so. I think he had already done a lot of

things before he got, you know, whatever. I don't know. I don't know what you like value here. Is it like mass amounts of human, like there's like, so there's obvious, like the Christian answer is like, don't let Eve eat the fruit human like there's like so there's obvious like the christian answer is like don't let eve eat the fruit or there's like the more obvious answer which is like kill hitler yeah hitler always is like the first thing that comes to mind but it's like i

also feel like that just means someone else could have also risen to power there's no way he's the only like evil racist guy in germany at that time with like a fascist movement like i'm pretty positive he was not the only one because he had people under him that like did bad things under him under him night and day he was here they were here yeah so I don't know

I don't even know how like what you can really do that stops the course of history that much because kill Abraham or like yeah Abraham Lincoln live well we still got a new president three years after that anyway so not that much is even changing but he could do things after his presidency like start a non-profit yes yes they call them the lincoln logs and it would be a non-profit like you could do a go fund me for logs it was like oh or like build

a bear but like build like a log cabin for someone lincoln lincoln logs a lincoln lugger yeah so i don't know clearly i'm thinking about this a little too much probably no steeze wants you to think about it he does take a couple with me how quickly i said the lincoln thing i'm trying to think what else has like killed a lot of people because that's i mean about as sad as it gets i mean smoking the cigarette but then like jake yes i stopped the guy who invented it. Someone else will just invent it. How do you know? Cause that's people are great.

Okay. Okay. Then, then go back to where I take out tobacco. Yeah. Yeah. Whenever Nick tobacco was invented, I take out tobacco as a, as like from our earth, like extinguish it. You can't grow it.

Good. There's our answer. Good. I was actually going to say no more earthquakes. That's my answer. I'm'm gonna go back in time to when people invented earthquakes and stop them i think it was alexander graham bell it was agb and well i was actually trying to think of what like kills a lot of people do you remember that tsunami in like 2004 or whatever killed like 200 000 people yeah yeah and like not that these should really

be compared but just for the sake of comparison 9 9-11 killed like 2,000 people. Yeah. Tsunami, 200,000. So if we just stop earthquakes, you're welcome, India and Madagascar. Is that how tsunamis kind of come about? I don't know. Yeah, yeah. It's like tectonic plates hit somewhere in the ocean. Like Alaska right now is under like tsunami watch. Are they really?

Yeah. Dang. Kind of scary. Luckily, no one lives there. Well, not no one. Or like six or seven people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side. The Proposal. Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality. Sandra Bullock in all those movies. Oh, okay. So I don't know how well of an answer we did there. No, we're killing this. We did a great.

Okay. Grand Marais is a small town in Michigan, by the way. I'm sorry, Minnesota. Oh. Cook County, Minnesota. Cook County. Dalvin Cook. That's probably in Michigan, by the way. I'm sorry, Minnesota. Oh. Cook County, Minnesota. Cook County. Dalvin Cook. That's probably why you went there.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Let's do our reviews of the week, and then we'll get into our closing jingle. I've got a long one, so let me clear my throat. Ah! Ba-na-ba-na-ba-na-ba-ba-ba. I cleared it. This is from Paige Robison.

No N in Robinson. I don't like when people do that i wonder i would go back in time and change that girl new answer okay this one's lengthy i'll try to speed read hi jacob brad this is my absolute favorite podcast i really appreciate all the time and effort you guys put into it i've even been wanting oh whoa what why you know what i'd go back and change some websites holy cow this is a really long one instead of the apostrophe it changes to i ampersand hashtag 39 colon ve that's so hard to read what mine doesn't do that are you on a charitable i'm unchartable you know like certain websites yeah like apostrophes just don't convert yeah and it

convert to ampersand hashtag 39 semicolon and then it it's hard for me to read. You can't figure that out? No. I'm like, what does that mean? Interesting. Okay. I've been wanting to reach out to you for a while, but I'm too scared to leave a voice memo so here I am giving you a well-deserved five-star review. Hey, I bet you have a great voice, Pedro Upsons. At least it's good. First off, thank you so much for sharing your life updates and hilarious

stories with us. I love your friendship and I have so much fun listening to you each week. Love your friendship, man. so much fun listening to you each week i know your friendship man yeah sure hand over fist me i am percent hashtag 39 semicolon am recently engaged and i'm starting to plan my wedding for next year okay so her last name will change good for you thank goodness smart move smart move i hope it's page from the book gosh dang it never mind edit cut stupid i'm sure you both have been to plenty of weddings so i'd love to hear what really gets you on your feet at a wedding yeah by usher right now i'm specifically debating about a live band versus a dj if it's worth spending extra for a videographer if i

should have a photo booth and if we should add any fun extra desserts besides cake let's stop there that's a lot okay what gets you on your feet at a wedding good songs really good songs and when they have cake that also gets me on my feet okay yeah yeah of course whenever it's time for cake i'm like oh here we go no i think that yeah songs and let's go to the next one if you're okay with that um i think live band if you can afford it you can afford it definitely go it's so good and make sure it's a good good live band though there's a difference but my goodness i had never been to a wedding with the live band before i went to weddings with katherine like all of katherine's friends had live bands and they are awesome i

never realized how good they were because i always thought like live bands played like old music they don't they play good songs they play uptown funk yeah they do absolutely but they also play like yeah they'll do anything like in everything and new idea we started wedding brand and it's called pewter and the blowfish beauty and the blowfish yeah love it it definitely get a lot of band where you can worth spending extra for a videographer i think i've talked about this before on the podcast one time i was told actually we don't want to hire you we're going to end up spending extra money on flowers i think if that's how you're going to allocate your money that is silly yeah because flowers will last you i don't know 72 hours the video will last you the rest of your life yeah so we

did not do a videographer it was like right when that trend was starting and i think we regret it a lot uh i think we regret it i don't know how much because they're expensive they can be yeah i don't think it's a must but like if you're going to spend that money on something else, like maybe think about having something like a video. Yeah. Planning a wedding is so hard because the priorities get all jumbled up and stuff. Don't do a photo booth. True. Don't do a photo booth. Don't do a photo. You don't need that. You don't need that. People take tons of pictures already. They can have fun on their own. Yeah. Cameras are literally in our pockets all the time and people will take lots of pictures. You know, you'll be fine. You're hiring a photographer as well.

And like the whole, like, uh, props for a photo booth. I've never seen somebody be like, that's a really funny way. They did that. Dang.

That's a good prop. Extra big sunglasses. Yeah. Yeah. Or something with like, yeah, a little single hat. Yeah.

Yeah. Whatever he's taken. Good props. Don't, don't do a photo booth. Um, extra fun desserts besides cake. Um, the one we went to with crinch hot donuts that was pretty nice yeah that's fun i like donuts a little donut wall donuts good do not miss this that's something you could put on the top

yeah dude lots of puns in the wedding there's always oh those are fun um yeah i don't know i like i like like a fondue like chocolate fonduesues. That's kind of nice. Sitting by the fire while we're eating fondue. What's that? Justin Beaver. Oh, of course. Sorry. Ooh,

what do you think of his new song? Holy? He has a new one. No, it's pretty good. I can't keep up with this guy. It's pretty good. This guy's killing it.

This guy? I actually haven't listened to it, but I had a friend, Cookie, Kyle Cook, a friend of the pod who, uh, sent me some,

sent, sent the group me. was like guys i used to make fun of justin bieber but i really respect him he's really good now he likes yeah he likes new stuff yeah yeah it's it's really short but it's it's fine it's got a little depth to it so i think you'll appreciate it okay but i know you don't listen to the words it's on so i don't know i was gonna say i listed the depth of the music but it's got a little some slight yodeling in it maybe you'll like that oh yeah i need that also i don't know if that's accurate you know as soon as i said it i was like maybe

it's not really yodeling not yodeling but i'll try it out okay kind of sounds like yodeling um resume review we're about a quarter of the way through if you think of any other must-haves let me know side note i remember you mentioning a friend's wedding where they wrote personal letters to every single guest. That was the donut wedding. I'm just going to go ahead and say I am not that dedicated and intentional. That's not going to happen. Ha ha ha.

Also, if you guys happen to be free on Sunday night, 10, 10, 21, I'm free. I don't know what I'm doing next week. So yeah, sure. Yeah. Okay. We're free. I'd love for you to stop by my reception and keep the energy up on the dance floor. Think about it. Eh?

Think about it. That would be awesome. I'm from St. Louis and keep the energy up on the dance floor. Think about it. Eh? Think about it. That would be awesome. I'm from St. Louis and my fiance Jordan is from Kansas City. We currently live in St. Louis, but I've decided to get married in Kansas City area because most of our guests live in that area anyway. We found an incredible venue there. Yeah. Another fun fact is that my fiance's mom works at Arrowhead Stadium.

So of course I've become a huge Chiefs fan over the last six years. Sure. And well, skip the line. Since his mom is an employee there and part of the Chiefs family, she recently received her authentic Chiefs Super Bowl ring. It's incredible, and it has her last name engraved in it. Every employee? My fiance, Jordan, has one younger sister, but his mom already said that Jordan will

inherit the ring way in the future. Yeah. Which is amazing, but also no rush. It's here on the record that I'm wishing a long, long life to my future mother-in-law. Anyways, thanks again for the high-quality entertainment. Sorry this review was so long. From Paige, a former CannaCook staffer and K-Life leader. All right.

Paige Robinson. We have so much in common. That's awesome. Whew. I exhausted. Any other must-haves for a wedding? Let's see. I mean, like a good best man speech, a good maid of honor speech.

Yeah, please. Yeah. I don't want to like call out the girls too much and like just stereotype, but the girls speeches are never good. And then they're just always like just on their phone. I don't, I don't like the phones. I don't like just memorize it first of all, and just have like fun memories about the person. I don't know. I just like, I like knowing memories that you have. I like knowing how you see their cut, the couple and how they're nice. I don't know. Just, it doesn't take that much to make a good speech to me, but they struggle a lot. Yeah. I'm trying to think,

I will say, please talk into the mic, like be as close as you can to the mic. And that's not a must have. That's just a pet peeve of mine is when we can't hear you. It's not because the microphone and the sound people aren't doing their thing. It's because you're holding your mic down by your waist. And if you're a sound person, you can't turn up too loud because then it's going to start getting feedback. Yes. So you got to do your job. I will say the Dodd sisters, they gave a maid of honor speech for Lauren Todd at her wedding. It was pretty good. Okay. Emily and Caroline, good job. You guys. It does not surprise me at all. Those girls are amazing. They kill it. But yeah, guy or girl, the whole, like I have to read off of my phone to know how I feel about you. You should know, or at least like write it all down and memorize it.

Yeah. And that makes it feel more like, yeah, like it's more personable. Like if you've memorized it rather than like having it on your phone. Yeah. So you've really intentionally thought about it. Yeah. Okay. Brad, what is your review of the week? Okay. Uh, mine is coming from T Butler, six, nine, one, seven. Uh, one thing we always agree on is the title of it. It says, my husband and I always have a hard time agreeing on movies, TV shows, besides the office, sometimes even music and podcasts, but we both love Ghostrunners, and it's our favorite way to find a laugh together. We are uniting people, Jake.

We are uniting a marriage. These people don't agree on anything. They're struggling. No. Whether we're listening to reruns on a road trip or he's showing me his highlights of that week's episode on a Monday night over dinner. Y'all have brought smiles and laughs to our days many a time. And we both recommend this podcast to our friends all the time.
