Okay, Jake. So I think it's kind of a widely accepted feeling that people don't really love PDA in general. Yeah, I would, I would say that's accurate. Like, like you don't really want to see it most of the time. No, I'll tell you one place that I absolutely do not want to see it is Sunday morning at church. Oh my gosh. Oh, so we, yeah, we've been going to this new church. Shout out Sam, our friend that listens to the podcast. Okay. It's not Sam. Sam was not PDA. Shout out Sam.

You love those earlobe kisses, don't you, Sam? Okay. And these people in front of us, and Catherine and I didn't even like mention it while we were sitting there. But like, as we were driving home, Catherine's like, the PDA with those people, my gosh. I was like, yes, thank you. It was like, not like anything like crazy, like, but it were driving home, Catherine's like the PDA with those people. My gosh. I was like, yes, thank you.

It was like, not like anything like crazy. Like, but it was just like this, like they were like, this sounds weird. They were like making out with their hands. I'd feel like the guy had his hand around, you know, the shoulder. I like this. And it was like, it was like, they were kind of like teasing each other with their hand. Like ever, like sometimes they'd be kind of interlocking. Maybe one time they'd be like, you know, just one finger.

Other times just, you know, all, you know, just really squeezing hard. Other times it's like, it was just like, out of all times, like, yeah, I understand, like there's a time and a place, but it's not, it's not while we're studying the book of Luke. It's not in the pews. No, not for the pews no not not for the gospels at least i mean maybe old testament i'll say habakkuk maybe sure sure amos go ahead who knows but but not the gospel no make it say hey lou with each other's hands

oh i'll see into you later i don't need to do it right now it was just so uncomfortable and so if you're out there and you're listening to this while you're at church and you're making out with your hands, stop it. Stop. Quit. And take your headphones out because you're at church. You weirdo. Oh, that is gross.

Let's talk about that more later. But first, our theme song. Yes. Uh-oh. Put a U to go, boy. Oh, a little producer tag. Go, boy. Ha. Yeah. The goat boy. Ha.

Yeah. It's Monday. It's Monday. Uh-oh. Oh, I think it's tight. It means I was going down on some rain. So this is right. Me too.

My best friends. And if I speak without a piece, I'll go my longest time so far. And go, hey, get on your feet. It's Monday. It goes for this podcast every Monday. Every Monday morning. It's a podcast. Every Monday morning with Jake and Brad. It's Monday. Every Monday morning. It's a podcast. Every Monday morning with Jake and Brad. It's Monday. Jake and Brad are our names. What's poppin'? Hey. Oh, hey. Oh, you paused it.

Quit. All right. Welcome, everyone. Episode 81. The Tim Brown episode? Yeah, nine times nine, baby. Yeah. Nine squared. Torrey Holt, maybe? I'm so bad with... I'm not so bad with numbers, but I don't know that one. 81 sounds like Tim Brown for sure. One of the two of them have got to be...

Tim Brown seems like a solid 80, though. Yeah. Tim Brown, 81. 81? Okay. Okay. Chris Carter, 80. Yeah. Let's go Torrey Holt. i know you guys care about this a lot 81 oh my gosh dude i'm the smartest guy in this basement okay az hakim

let's just do the random yeah random rams isaac bruce was 80 i think kurt warner 13 marshall falk um 28. 28. Yeah. Wait, what are you guessing Az Hakim is? Az Hakim was 89. This picture has him also 81. Oh, really? How's that possible? They play at the same time.

I don't know if it is. Him and Torrey were sharing jerseys. Okay, well, that is the 2000s Rams part of the podcast. I will say it's really interesting that wide receivers don't really wear 80s anymore. They don't wear the high numbers as much anymore It's almost all like 11 to 19. Yeah, the Chiefs we got Tyreek at 10. Mm-hmm me Cole at 17 17 same walk is at 14 boo goat at 14 and then Byron Pringle 13 and 11

Everybody's favorite DeMarcus Robinson. Oh, yeah. See, it didn't even make my list. Do you even know who he's on? That's crazy. Five out of five. Isn't that interesting? In the tens. Yeah. Like the tight ends are the ones that have the higher numbers.

Like you're slow. Yeah. You get up there. Yeah. Like if you have like a number, you know, 88, you're not going to be the fast. Tyreek Hill, if he had 88, would be running a 5-0-40. Yeah. 88's for like your second string tight end who's mainly there to block. Yes. fat. You're Tyreek Hill. If you had 88 would be running a five Oh 40. Yeah. 88 is for like your second string tight end.

Who's mainly there to block. Yes. Yeah. Anthony Fasano, if you will, like just, yeah, just the guy that has like a mustache on ironically,

Anthony Fasano sounds like the name of a guy who's going to like invest his earnings from the NFL. Well, and like an Italian, like sub shop, I think Fasano's come to Fasano's fasanos fasanos where we're all where you're all welcome and salami's on special every day yeah yeah yeah fasanos salamos no that's i like that something something like that is popping yeah brad how's your week you had a birthday this week yes dude it feels like it's been two months i was like was that really technically yeah it was since last podcast for sure so much has happened since we potted last it's been two months. I was like, was that really technically? Yeah, it was since last podcast.

For sure. So much has happened since we potted last. It's true. So much. Yeah. But yeah, your birthday. Yeah, we had fun. We went just, Catherine always asks me, what do you want to do for your birthday?

And I'm always like. That's so annoying. It's not annoying. It's just like, it's just like, I, I, I truly, like, I always say nothing. Like, I'm always like, I don't, we don't need to do anything. And she's like, no, we have to do something. Yeah. And I'm like, okay. And so I say, let's go to dinner with our friends. So we went to Oklahoma Joe's and went, came back home, had some ice cream saying

with a little candle, everyone went around the room and said their first and favorite favorites. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and yeah, it was a good time. Um, did you have any like new memories like that you were reminded of from all your friends saying your first and favorite, it was a good time. Did you have any new memories that you were reminded of from all your friends saying your first and favorite? It was fun hearing Scott's wife, Sam. She shared and she's like, I remember the first time I met you, I thought you were crazy. And I was like, what? Because I guess we met at a wedding.

Me? Crazy. Crazy? Loco. That's not me. I've never been called crazy. Bizarre? Sure.

Sure. Weird? Yeah. Mental? Yeah. The disabled kid? Sure. Sure. Weird? Yeah. Mental? Yeah. The disabled kid tried out for a talent show? Once. Once?

In the Patreon video. Check it out. Oh, that's right. They didn't even know. I know. I was like, maybe, hey, FYI, we recorded two versions of the first theme song today. And the first one was not deemed that good. And I compared it to a special needs kid auditioning for the school musical.

So that happened. Anyway, but Sam was like, yeah, I thought you were crazy because you kept trying to make me do all these fun things, like funny things. And that's so something I would do. Like when I'm first meeting somebody, I'm like, I want to make a fun impression for them. So I'm going to, you know, Hey, I dare you to go dance right next to that girl, you know, whatever. It's like completely harmless, but fun and try to create some fun with new people. Yeah. So besides that, I don't really remember if I had too many new memories, but it was just fun. Yeah. It's always fun just hearing

like, Oh, that's what you like about me. I't know like that like jake another shout out for the patreon jake recorded this really sweet awesome uh patreon mini episode about oh yeah i forgot about that i've listened to it twice no way yeah the next day i listened to it like i listened to it that night after you guys left and then i listened to the next day because i was like i need to pick me up right now yeah yeah i'm gonna listen to it multiple times post birthday pick me up so kind And other people also said very kind things to me. So it was fun. I meant it. Spoke from the heart.

I did love Harrison's impression of you or just like his favorite memory of you. Because, you know, we've only known Harrison six months. And his favorite memory of you is when he first kind of got introduced to our friend group. It was during the pandemic. And he had known that, like, I'm pretty sure Brad's the guy with, like, one one kid and another one on the way but he's out here playing pickleball with us a lot that's right yeah that must not be him like yeah that must be another guy that must be that must be that guy that like is more responsible with his time like brad has a business that he's supposed to be running i don't really ever see him doing any work that must not be brad or i was like oh

jake all the time something confused here, that was his favorite memory of you It was so true like right but and I think it's because I knew it it was like Bo's about to be born and I'm not gonna have very much flexibility. So I'm going to just like hemorrhage my time right now I don't know I'm just going to profusely spend my time. Yeah. Yeah on the pickleball court. Yeah, I did you did Yeah, my gosh, did I, you're hanging with us all the time. So yeah, it was a good time. Uh, I will say two things about birthdays. Um, well, I'll shoot. What was, I think I had another thing written down. The first thing for sure is

here's how you sing happy birthday for anybody. I obviously everyone knows the tune, so I'm not going to teach you though. Okay. Two, two, just quick things for anybody that's a party person. Uh, no one wants to start happy birthday birthday but be the person that starts happy birthday always start it way lower than you think you need to okay it's a good tip and way faster than you think you need good tip no one wants a slow high happy birthday no okay especially slow slow especially slow yeah but but also it gets high especially for men out there it's one of the hardest songs to sing is it not you know like it's like you really built that you have to lean back in your chair yeah so it's like happy birthday to you happy birthday to that's like everyone's into it yeah yeah and then i guarantee you if you do it that fast and that low people will do the great things at the end like and many more on channel four a big fat lady

on channel 80 oh gross people will get so into tight end yeah yeah wwtdd tr w w w tdd dot gov i don't know what what would texas roadhouse do a really fast happy birthday yes exactly i screwed up my d's yeah but you got it oh and the other thing is just ice cream cake is awesome that was the other thing ice cream cake is good brad i don't really like cake but i love ice cream so ice cream cake kind of it's like hey i have a cake what do you want cheesecake i like it yeah yeah it's okay it's yeah it's not it's not ice cream it's not ice cream but i like the cheesecakes that are like basically ice cream like chocolate and all these reeses on there and all this stuff yeah yeah yeah i'll take that yeah less cream cheese more like

toppings and ice cream 100 yes yes but yeah it was a good time birthdays was good i i it was a good birthday tips i felt more like i feel like everyone puts this on their facebook wall like the day facebook wall hey timeline timeline come on whatever it's not 2009 i know i feel like uh you know people always put this on their zanga wall after the day after their birthday like i feel so blessed this year like i felt especially blessed i thought you're gonna say i didn't feel blessed it was weird no weird. I truly did feel very blessed and appreciated. I don't know. Just loved.

It's nice to feel that. Yeah, it really was. So it was a good birthday. It's a bummer you only feel that once a year. But it is cool that it at least happened once. Father's Day, you get a tinge. You get a tinge of it. Yeah.

It's kind of amazing, though, how kind and forgiving Catherine is on my birthday and on Father's Day. It's like anything I want, fine. Anything goes. Like I was like- Martial law. Like the morning of my birthday, I'm like, I'm kind of tired. Maybe I should get Starbucks. And like any other day, she'd be like, Brad, you don't need Starbucks.

Come on. We have coffee here. She'd be like, yes. You want Starbucks? You want Starbucks? It's like, yeah, I want Starbucks. Well, and also it's free on her birthday. I think that makes a lot of sense too. Oh, I didn't actually end up getting and also it's free on your birthday i think that

makes a lot of sense too oh i didn't actually end up getting it it's free on your birthday yeah any size you want anything brad no anything oh man that's too bad how do you have to like show your id uh use the app yeah it's my birthday um i think i guess your id would work okay usually like the app like knows your birthday and you can't change your ID would work. Usually the app knows your birthday and you can't change it, so you just show the app. Flash the app and that'll work. Next year. Wait, so you went to Starbucks but didn't get it for free?

No, I didn't end up going. That's just a great example of anything I wanted. Normally she would say no. We watched Whiplash on my birthday. That was honestly the biggest gift. Whiplash? What is that? That's that movie that I talked about, I don't know, 20 episodes ago that I loved so much, but it's like a really intense movie. This guy's like somewhat verbally abusive, not somewhat. He is verbally abusive.

Sure. And so Catherine, every time I bring it up, she's like, I don't want to watch that movie. Like, it's like kind of like, yeah, it's just dark and mean. It's really not dark, but anyway, but like, but I was like, Hey, birthday, let's do it. Let's see some verbal abuse. It's going to be a good time. She said she liked it though. Okay. Yeah.

I'll still recommend it to anybody who wants to watch a good movie. I'll watch it sometime when I want to watch a good movie. I actually, this is Catherine at first was like, no, I don't want to watch that. And I was like, please, it's my birthday. And she's like, can't you just find somebody else to watch it? And I, I consider it like 1030 in the morning texting you and Isaac. Hey, you guys want to come over and watch Whiplash with me on my birthday? I didn't do it.

Catherine was cool, but. That's pretty funny. Yeah. Okay. So speaking of Whiplash, have you ever played the game Quiplash? Yes. Have you not played it at our house? Yes.

I own it. Do you? You've never played it with us? I only lease it. Oh, man. So that's awesome that you own oh you should see gunner and quit flash is it nice it's a it's yeah he's funny b we all know that gunner misspelled gunner misspells the words and so you always know which one is gunner's

oh that's great i can imagine that being very funny oh and my dad loves it oh yeah it's a great game really that's awesome so i definitely played it before but i mean five six years ago right and i hadn't played it until like this past weekend and uh two things about quiplash one uh well yeah it's just fun especially when a fun group people like it's a really good game right it's a good time um explain what it is for people oh sure i guess yeah that would make sense yeah it's a game based off of like being funny off of different kind of just open-ended prompts So it'll say like a bad name for an ice cream parlor, you know So like that and you have a lot of creativity, but not a lot of time to think of something funny Yeah, and then everyone else will get to vote on like which one was funnier. You all have your phones

And so you like text it. Yeah, it's a Kahoot So it's great when you're in the right room of people. It could be very very people get slap happy so quick in this game yeah it's so fun oh my gosh i harrison had me in tears oh my gosh i can't even imagine um i'll get to that later okay okay but first one of the prompts was something you don't want to find in your burrito bowl and so i was like well the obvious answer is dead mouse or whatever but i'm going to challenge i'm gonna i put something down like chlamydia or something okay um lindsey porter is at the party she puts down dead mouse i see it on the screen i assume it's harrison since he listens to the pod sure but no find out it's lindsey porter yeah and she was i was like why did you put that just out of curiosity to know if she was a ghosty or not because i didn't think she was yeah she goes

no joke she's like one of my friends in dallas just like a month or two ago found a mouse in his burrito bowl okay so we have more yes tell me we got a name okay blake campbell blake first and last i don't even know the guy friend of a friend of me friend of a for no i think lindsey knows him personally okay so it's confirmed confirmed And she said the same thing. She's like, yeah. He posted it on his Instagram and all these lawyers came after him. I was like, that's the story I heard too. So I guess he's in the process of suing Chipotle right now.

And oh, more info. I said, how much of it did he eat? And she said he ate 95% of it. Oh! What did you think that was? Silly Blake. I don't know. We need to get Blake on the pod.

We need to get Blake on on the pod we need to play on the pod how much money would it take blake 20 bucks uh 20 bucks 20 blakes 20 blakes green blakes uh uh this this plantation this blake tation running low on green blacks come on blake we need to talk about this i will hit up my multiple sources. We'll try to get Blake on the pod. Let's do it. Let's talk about that bowl. Yes. I, the 95, do you think it was like a pit of an avocado? What was it? I had to have thought it was something like, that's not necessarily supposed to be in there, but probably not a mouse. Oh, this, this guac. Yeah, whatever. We could talk more about it with him, man. Okay. But what a random, like recurring theme to the podcast is like this is like a true crime podcast yes we gotta figure out what happened to this mouse oh my gosh we could have like a whole

extra episode just with blake yeah oh i like it yeah okay um dead mouse but yeah if you ever find a way to just make an opportunity to play quiplash with harrison even isaac was pretty hilarious like i was in tears multiple times yeah well. Well, that's the thing. Like people that aren't like, even that, like, even if it's not funny, their responses, it's like funny because of how not funny it is. If that makes sense. Like it's very, it's very rarely like, eh, that's okay. It's like, cause they always think they're really funny. Yeah. You know? So they're all laughing. I like it's Thanksgiving week right now when people are listening to this, download it and play it with your family at Thanksgiving. Yeah. There's some prompts that are like, this, download it and play it with your family at Thanksgiving. Yeah.

There's some prompts that are like, okay, you're trying really hard to be inappropriate right now, but I think you can do a family filter on there if you really want to. Oh, I was going to say that's when it gets kind of fun. It is, but I'm just, I'm just warning people out there for the moms out there with the kids, you know, maybe filter a little bit. Yeah. The hardest I last. Fasano salami, you know, right.

Take that out. bit. Yeah. The hardest I last Fasano salami, you know, right. Take that out. Yeah. The, um, I won't say the answers, but the funniest prompt was, um, what would you title an adult film based off of an old school, like arcade video, video game or whatever. So I won't tell you what Harrison, I said, but I'll tell you like the video games that we chose. You can like fill in the blanks okay i chose donkey kong okay harrison which is already like a pretty funny answer harrison uh chose duck hunt which still makes me laugh oh it's just so good dude harry harry is so funny man uh i mean he's number one in my power rankings again is Is he yeah? I just post him

Do you see I missed it? No, okay? It's probably didn't see before whoa before the episode. Did I go down you dropped? You're going out of town dang it so we can't record my dad dang it dang it that cost you Okay, I actually had this thought we talked about this off the pot if you want But when do you when is he leave think he's I We can talk about this off the pot if you want. But when does he leave? I don't know. Because I'm even... Even if you're going to be... I'm filming a wedding on Saturday.

So I'm leaving. So maybe it's your fault. I'll drop myself on my own power rankings. That would be a bold move to put yourself on the list. Where am I at with myself? Kind of disappointed in myself. Me, myself, and I. Yeah, but anyway, yeah. Oh, bummer. Watch Whiplash. Play Quiplash. Yeah. Kind of disappointed in myself. Me, myself, and I. Yeah. But anyway, yeah.

Oh, bummer. Watch Whiplash. Play Quiplash. Yes. And find yourself a Harrison. Yeah. Number one on the power rankings again. The patrons know.

Wow. That's awesome. Okay. Here's an update. We've had some big weeks on the Ghost Hunters podcast for a while. Mm-hmm. Another stat. Didn't have to dig too hard.

hadn't played in a while and i thought to myself maybe i'm not that into pickleball anymore maybe i'm kind of because i have an addictive personality and i was very addicted to pickleball for a while and I thought to myself maybe I'm not that into pickleball anymore maybe I'm kind of because I have an addictive personality and I was very addicted to pickleball for a while maybe you unaddicted yourself yeah but then we played and I was like no this is still really fun so fun yeah oh yeah it was a good time pickleball was great um Trey and I are going to Naples here in a couple weeks which I think is like a big pickle hub yeah they call it I think yeah that's what they call it yeah um kind of the rind of the pickle if you will um right so but thinking about bringing my pad down there to be kind of fun because that's also like trey and i are working kind of like almost too hard right now like we just did seven stand-up comedy shows in four days woke up at 4 30 a.m this morning drove to detroit

flew to kansas city got to trey's house recorded a podcast shot three videos um and then we're shooting like two more videos tomorrow just like a lot of stuff is going on right now before this live stream it's one of those things where it's like we want never before seen videos on the live stream but once that's over once we're in Florida big chilling big pickling Naples chilling in Naples but okay this week, not nice. Big grind. Yeah. Holy cow. But it's okay.

Like, imagine a huge rail in Tony Hawk Pro Skater. That's what you're doing. Big grind. Yeah. But I see those points. Times eight, times 10, times 16. You know, it's like, boom, and you fall. Wasted.

That's kind of what it's like, because it's like, well, luckily, I'm fortunate enough to have a job where, for the most part, the harder I work, the more money I make. Right. So that's nice. Absolutely. I see the times going at the bottom. Right. It's like, it's like well luckily i'm fortunate enough to have a job where for the most part the harder i work the more money i make right that's nice absolutely i see the times going at the bottom right it's like this is okay yeah it'll pay off gosh i truly feel bad for people who don't feel that way i was thinking that on my drive home today i was like it would stink to work really hard one week and get paid the same exact right yeah that's too bad yeah but it would be nice to go on vacation and get paid the exact same amount that you got paid the week before. Okay.

I was just about to yell, quit your job, but maybe don't. Maybe don't. That's pretty nice. It'd also be nice to go to the doctor and be like, actually, you don't owe any money today. And you're like, okay, thank you. This is awesome. Because I got the healthcare through my corporate job.

Yeah. My health insurance has doubled in the last three years. I've emailed them saying how come i haven't been sick yet and they won't email me back so i think it's time to get new health insurance oh get someone who will email me back yeah you at least need to be able to correspond with your health insurance yeah probably um oh well that uh we don't need to talk about health insurance anymore okay but you're working hard on the yeah honestly yeah it's it's

a lot right now and um yeah second podcast of the day been up for a while although you woke up before the sun's uh rose as well i've been doing this crazy thing uh where i work during the day okay just all day like we're anti-vampire yeah okay it's, it's like such a silly, like, obviously like this is what 85, 90% of everybody in America does. But yeah, I, I've been getting up at six o'clock in the morning and try trying to get out to work by seven. And so I can be done in like in the house by five o'clock. Cause Catherine, like Catherine says the hardest part of her day is from like five to six, because that's like when the kids are becoming restless that's when she's trying to get food going the news is on she's getting yeah she's she's been with the kids all day so she's frustrated so i'm like okay and what i usually do during the day is like i'll come

in for like an hour usually and like play with the kids and like try to relieve her and put bow down for a nap and feed hattie or whatever but now I'm like focused during the day. No kids till five. Kind of. Yeah. Which is kind of hard. Honestly, it's a discipline because I'm like, A, I want to help Catherine. B, I want to see my kids. But anyway, yeah, getting up early and working hard because I'm kind of stressed too.

I'm trying to get stuff done before Thanksgiving. I'm delivering that table to Avery Mack. Oh. She lives in Salina, Texas, which is like near Catherine. So I'm delivering that. So I got to get it done. Yeah. I can't really be like, hey, I'm going to have that a few days late.

Kind of need to get it on your drive down. Yeah. So just been working hard. Look at us. I know. We're doing it. And still potting. But we're working hard and we're getting paid more money for it.

That's right. That's right. Yeah. I'll make this happen for you, Avery Mack. Yeah, of course so um i went to uh schedule no wait what did i do oh i scheduled my driver's license appointment because you have to right now that's tomorrow okay so i got to print off some documents and we were talking you were like dude just buy a printer they're so cheap yeah i was like smart roll up to target today. And I go to their printer section.

They have one printer that's $350, but then like eight price tags, but no printers like on the racks, on the shelves. So I go talk to someone. Printing season. Cuffing season for printers. They're finding each other. Yeah. And I said, hey, do you know if you have any other printers in stock?

And she said, I think the ones out are the only ones we have. And I said, oh, wow. Why don't you have any other printers in stock? And she said, I think the ones out are the only ones we have. And I said, oh, wow. Why don't you have any other printers? You ready for this? I mean, you know, COVID. Oh, my gosh. Stop! Stop!

You can have printers in stock during a pandemic. I know you can. Nope. I know you can. People are working from home. They need to print stuff off. You can order more two weeks ahead of time. You know what? I think people might order more two weeks ahead of time. You know what?

I think people might need more printers this time of year, but let's go ahead and just not order anymore. Order the same amount we normally would. Yeah. Oh, I'm so sick of it, Brad. The COVID. It's not even that I wanted a printer that bad. It's just a dumb excuse.

Oh my gosh. I'm so tired of it. I'm refraining from saying too much, but I'm just frustrated about our merch. I'm just frustrated. Oh, that's everything. I'm just frustrated. Oh, that's everything. I'm frustrated for everybody out there that's ordered merch. Yeah, so I had that written down. It's just sorry about merch.

Sorry about merch. We are trying to get it done and expedite everything as much as possible. But that was the excuse I got the other day, too. I was like, it's just crazy right now because of COVID. We ordered, whatever. Yeah, we don't want to talk about it too much. We ordered it in October. Just know that everything is out of our hands and we're trying to do what we can because quite honestly it looks bad on us if it becomes a thing like oh yeah you order ghost hunters merch you're not going to get it for three

months i don't want that to become a thing so we're you know yeah those guys are not responsible about their driver's license so why would they be responsible for our merch why would they ship out my hoodie on time right no uh i i I, I sent out confirmation emails. Well, we don't talk about them when I thought they were shipped and I guess they weren't. Okay. So you sent those out yourself. Yeah. Yeah. So I marked the orders fulfilled like 14 days after I sent the Excel spreadsheet. I was like, that's enough time. That's a flag time. Sure. Oh, it wasn't. It was not. Oh, that's okay. My mom showed me that email the other yeah like what's because everyone's asking us about this everybody's asking yeah people i

didn't even know had my phone number asking where's my hoodie dude yeah i i don't know i'm in toledo all right i don't i'm on stage i don't have time to deal with this right now oh man gosh it's been a we'll figure it out we'll figure it out figure it out but sorry yeah anyway okay i have two kind of fun dad things you know i turned 30 this week so i'm i'm a i'm a experienced dad big daddy uh put it one hit it one time uh first one is this it's not necessarily just dads but just people my friends and i are getting older and this was like such a great conversation that my friends and i had of like gosh gosh, we're so old. Um, so my friend screenshotted this tweet from Kansas City Chiefs. Apparently there's like a trend right now where it's like,

um, Oh, it's like, whatever this, this thing says Kansas City has the best barbecue. And then underneath it says official sources stated this is accurate. Have you seen those? It's cause Twitter keeps like doing that to Donald Trump's tweets. They keep like marking his tweets. It's like, we don't know if this is true or not. Oh, yeah. Have you seen those? It's because Twitter keeps doing that to Donald Trump's tweets. Oh, okay. They keep marking his tweets. It's like, we don't know if this is true or not. Oh, okay. So it's kind of like they're running with that.

Yeah. So Kansas City has the best barbecue. Official sources stated this is accurate. And then Memphis Grizzlies responded to the Chiefs. Have you seen this? No. Memphis Grizzlies said, official sources have confirmed this is cap. Oh.

Which I think is pretty funny. I'm so tired of the word Cap. Okay. So I thought it was like, A, I thought it was funny that the Grizzlies are saying Cap. Yeah. Because they're like, that's just funny because they're just kind of a more, you know, whatever slang filled organization. Their biggest song that they always play is whoop that trick at the Grizzlies games.

But one of my friends said cap. Can someone tell me what cap means? Oh, nice. And then my friend who cookie, who's, who's a middle school teacher says lies. And then my other friend says,

I had to look up what cap meant. And he put, he put cap in quotation marks because we're so proper. I thought it was a typo for crap, but apparently it means, apparently it means BS or a lie. And then my other make, make, hekey comes back how does cap mean lies uh and it was just so funny to me like a that like we all had to like be like what's cap like i i had heard it but only like probably a year ago when

pet or when uh kevin durant tweeted back at somebody cap cap cap i was like what does that mean is he selling hats yeah what is this i was like i don't i don't know what that means apparently yeah and a i love that we all like had to look it up or like ask people what it meant b i love that even after my friend learned what it was he was like how that doesn't make sense hey like that's such an old person who's going around making up these definitions that doesn't make sense to me like just accept like how does that mean lies what i don't understand yeah it does it just because it does that's like you're starting to get older once you start like doubting the generation below you i don't know about them yeah our slang was better we had yolo yeah nothing wrong with you now yolo

makes sense it's an acronym you only live once y. YOLO makes, I love YOLO. YOLO's great. I still use YOLO. You say TMI. Now I say YOLO. Don't go there. Yeah, anyway, I just thought that was so funny. Like, I don't, I don't understand.

What? That, that, no way. How does that work? Hold on. You know? Hold on. So, and then, and then we basically proceeded from there to talk about, I guess, Twitter. I don't get on Twitter very much anymore, but they have a new stories.

Oh, yeah. Fleets. Fleets. Yeah. They were complaining about those. Like, what are these things? Yeah. It's just another website trying to do something different and steal something from somebody

else. Try to do something different by doing the same thing as other people. Yeah. It's funny how that works. Anyway. I need to give a callback to probably something we were talking about last winter. Zycam, a.k.a. Poppin' Zyboys. Zyboys.

It's not a sponsor of the show, but it's so good. It's so helpful. Yeah. You take it at the first sign of a cold, it goes away. Yeah. It's magical. You have to take it at the first sign, though. I just needed to say that.

It's crazy how great Zycam works. Even off-brand zinc tablets from Walgreens. Don't matter. Just get some zinc in your bod. Oh, OK. So that's what the main thing is that way. They Zy Z. Yeah.

Yeah. OK. Zy boys. Wow. OK. I had a bad cold and gone. Gone because of those eyes. Gone, Brad.

These eyes. Is that super bad where he makes him sing it you remember that part I don't know that movie very well that's okay well he sings that song okay the all new fan duel sportsbook

Second one was, uh, just a fail, a Brad fail. So I've been getting up early as we stated. Um, and since I've gotten up so early, it's like pitch black when I get up and get out very dark.

And for my birthday, as we also stated, um, Catherine and Hattie and beau all came in and woke me up with a bunch of balloons oh that's fun on the ground you saw all the balloons on the ground the balloons on the ground uh so the balloons hattie loves them and so they're still just strewn about okay throughout the entire house um which is the spoiler alert to this story so i get out oh it is pitch black and i i there's been there's been times in my life when i'm a dad and i kind of step on a toy and i kind of oh yeah you know that kind of thing like classic like what's that doing here that's cap kind of thing but this time i did a little worse than just um step on the balloon i tripped fell on the balloon. I tripped, fell on the balloon,

and popped the balloon. Just like your front? It was like my shin. I kind of slipped on my foot and then fell down on it. Pop! At like 6.05 in the morning. And I'm like, oh my gosh, I just woke up

my entire house. I imagine you just pretty bummed that you did that. Just face down on the ground, and then you just say to yourself, my bad. Couldn't quite put my nose on that one. And I was like, luckily, every one of us use a sound machine. Oh, yeah.

We all sleep in airplanes, basically. That's nice. It's fine. I don't know how I feel about sound machines. I'm a little on the fence about them. Why? I don't know. I just don't ever use them whenever Catherine's not home.

And so I don't think it's necessary. Oh, yeah. I mean, I've never needed one. But I didn't know if you were like, oh, the thunderstorm is not accurate. I've never heard lightning or whatever. Yeah. The rainforest is just so consistent. It stops every once in a while okay

like we understand it's not raining 24 7 yeah no i don't know i don't know something i don't know esther's a uh audiologist and so i think she said one time that maybe sound machines aren't good but i don't know i saw i saw tiktok last week it was like um i forgot exactly how it went but it was just like um pov uh you just um point of view mickey and cookie yes yes yes i don't know about that pov no it's okay um pov like why is that pov it was like you just hooked up with a guy and but and he uses white noise to sleep so then like you're looking at this guy and then he rolls over and like pushes the machine and instead of white noise it's just like these two guys like dude you catch the golf match dude we gotta start that podcast dude dude

how's the dow doing yeah dude you're so good at cornhole it was just like all this like white white noise i was like that's pretty clever but it was truly guy or yeah yeah it was tiktok so it was probably not his original thing but whoever was the first person to make the white nose noise in this joke, good job. Good job. Good job. Good job. Joy!

Oh, wait, speaking of that, one of the openers this week called Trey Troy. It's kind of fun. On accident. Wait, the opening, like comedian? Or like the person in charge of like the club? Like the guy, like one of the comedians. Like, I heard it was Troy's birthday today. That's pretty cool. And I was like, guy like one of the comedians like like uh i heard it was troy's birthday today it's

pretty cool and i was like i like oh like i did that i did like the dad who's like disappointed in like the chief's defense right ah we gotta get that figured out right like oh my gosh i can't believe i can't believe them so then i just went up there and just murdered with troy jokes oh i was awesome yeah i was gonna say it's like uh. Um, I know we're all excited tonight. And you know what? Give a big round of applause. Who's excited to see Troy tonight? Huh?

That's what I thought. And they love that. And I threw in Troy like three or four more times. Then when I got off stage, I texted Trey cause he's about to go up. I was like, and I was like, FYI,

opener called you Troy. I used it. It's crushing. Like lean into that. Like, you know, so that's what kind of fun it shows. It's like I get to, I don't know if this is how other comedians do it, but like I will

survey things and like report it back to Trey. Yeah. Like last night it was like crazy drunk women on the left. Like just FYI, like something to monitor. Okay. Like they're really, really excited for Toledo on a Wednesday. So yeah. Oh, Toledo on a Wednesday goes hard.

Yeah. You'd be surprised. Way different than Toledo on a Tuesday. Oh my gosh. Don't even, don't even go. No go no yeah just stay at home stay at the hotel bar wait till you get in on wednesday it's worth it um so wait what's the schedule like at the show that makes it to where you have an ability in between like do you guys have like a video in between you and trey yes good good job good job yeah thanks I thought whenever you did the live stream, I think one time at least, whenever I watched you just were like, and here's Trey.

You kind of introduced him. Yeah. But yeah, and the actual tour shows, whatever, oh, excuse me. I will introduce a never before seen video. Oh, okay. And then there's like an intro video and then Trey comes on stage. So there's a little bit of time. Gotcha. Yeah, tell me all about it. So you went to Kentucky. I mean, yeah, there's a an intro video and then trey comes on stage so uh there's a little bit of time gotcha but how yeah tell me tell me all about what so you went to i mean yeah there's a bunch of stuff

yeah those are lexington and toledo the only two cities we performed in but um i was even thinking about doing like a mini soad for patreon just like there's so much stuff that happened in the last like four days so um we'll get to what we can okay but it was, uh, yeah, I mean this, this week doubled the amount of standup comedy I've ever done. So that was great. Just to get those kinds of repetitions. And cause you did multiple each day at each city, three out of four days we did back to back like double header shows, which is a little interesting being up there and be like,

okay. Or even like things I want to play off the crowd. Like I would forget like, wait, was that last show? Or like, have I already said this? Yeah. Do they know this? I didn't love double headers, but I i was i was thinking it might be better because then you get like not a warm-up show but kind of like you're like crisp for that second

one because you're like i know the jokes i am hitting on all this stuff yeah there's definitely benefits because there's one night where i tried a new joke and it didn't go well and i only have to wait an hour before i can restructure that and do it again i don't have to wait a full day or right now full week whatever thinking about it like maybe i should just take that out yeah whatever yeah like an hour and a half and then i'm back up there and get another rep so that's pretty cool but uh yeah i mean i had i would have stretches where i was like i'm i'm the funniest guy in the world right why am i not doing that you know then i have other stretches where i'm like what just go get a engineering job or something like you're way better at math

than you are this, you know? So I don't know how it, there's no way it's healthy to be a standup comedian. Yeah. Just, I think the nature of it, not that I know what it's all about now, but just like the nature of standup comedy is never knowing if you did a good enough job or just like always wondering if it could have been better,

you know, just cause it's, it's a giant puzzle. It's like, okay, these jokes are like hitting and they're landing, but like, what if I restructured it?

What if I did this part here? Sure. It switched out this word. Could that get even bigger laugh? Sure. So yeah, it's gotta be, it's gotta take a toll on you if you do this for a while. Yeah. Cause like, obviously as a comedian, you're performing because you enjoy the affirmation

publicly. Yes. Like, and so you, you can't just be like, oh, just don't care about what people think. Cause that's your whole job. Yeah. Yeah. Is trying to make like people like you, they're paying to be entertained. So you want to let them down.

Yeah. So you can't just be like, Oh, it's not about them. It's about me performing my art. Well, you know, it's not, but at the same time, I enjoy a lot of comedians that I don't laugh very much at. So maybe if I was at a live show, I'd like intentionally laugh at you. Thanks. Maybe I would do like the same laugh, but like different lengths

depending on what it is. Like no matter what I think, if I think it's funny, but if it's like just kind of funny and then not like barely funny just the precursor. Yeah, you're like, you're you're trying to cast out the the fishing pole but like really loud still like i want to keep the same volume every time it's more about the length of the laugh for me

that was a good one yeah that one that one exhausted the windpipes oh man i should try more jokes on you that's great what if it's like what if somebody like laughed so obnoxiously that you're like i don't want people to laugh and you gotta stop you gotta sit in the back or something seriously like what if that what if i was there doing that like it's like this this is not fun you're not you're making me feel unfunny because you're laughing at everything. And it's annoying. I'd probably say something like, do you have like someone's like hand up you? Is that are you a ventriloquist?

Like, there's no way that's your real voice. Someone hand up to you. Yeah, that's what you should say. Someone hand up you. Someone hand up you. I know it's totally on a Wednesday. So anything goes. But it hands ups you dude

one thing that I love this week that I've never done before but I'm excited to like hopefully keep doing in these comedy clubs is what they call crowd work and just like talking to the crowd

and making jokes off of them I think I'm like way more catered to do that yes absolutely you are dude it's so fun it's like so much more like fulfilling and rewarding

you know just just asking people just open ended questions and just like trying to roll fulfilling and rewarding. Um, you know, just, just asking people, just open into questions and just like trying to roll with whatever they give me. Right. You know, even when people, there was one show where, you know, I'm asking these people, how do you guys know each other? Um, some of us are just kind of friends and sisters. Okay. Sister friends. Cool. Whatever. What about you guys? How do you guys know each other? Friends. All right. Lively bunch in in Toledo this is all you guys give me a lot to work with this is cool you know like even that like it's funny right even with even though that's like the worst case scenario yeah but you can always like yeah you can just lean

into the fact that it's not bad funny yeah and I have no plan when I go up there so I'm like I'm sure I could get better at this and kind of have like a structured kind of plan right um one thing that I started doing so I guess maybe I did kind of start to Right. Um, one thing that I started doing, so I guess maybe I did kind of start to have a plan as I would ask married couples, uh, how long they've been together. And, oh, this is kind of fun. Yeah. The very first time I asked this, I was like, how long you guys been together? And they're like, uh, 14 years. And they looked so incredibly young. I thought they were lying to me and like, no, seriously, 14 years. And I was like, you guys look so young. I was like, were you part of a cult? You know, and then they messaged me afterwards and they were like, that's so funny.

You say that we're both pastors, kids kind of were a part of a cult. We're married at 18. I was like, I nailed it. Okay. I knew it. You had to be young. They were 32. Yeah.

Yeah. They were two years older than me and they've been married for 14 years. Yeah. Oh, so shout out you guys. Um, one guy asked him, uh, what's the secret to marriage? 11 years. He goes, alcohol. Somebody get this guy a therapist? This guy's scaring me.

I got a therapist. His name's Johnny Walker Blue. What is that? An alcoholic drink. Oh, nice. Whiskey. Dude. His name's Jim Beam. Yeah, what's the tequila? It doesn't matter.

We're so, we're so Alkies. I made a tequila joke last night too. This was the drunk women Toledo on a Wednesday. Patron Jose, Jose Cuervo. I had Patron this week. I've always heard it was like top shelf, like good tequila. I don't know if I'll have Patron again. Very watered down.

Okay. But T-Pain made it sound so cool. It is cool with T-Pain. Yeah. Was it on Wednesday? Yeah. Okay. Well it on Wednesday? Yeah. Okay. Well, on Wednesday, it's Watered Down Wednesday.

Dang it. Yeah. Watered Down Wednesday. They make a little more money that way. That's right. Whatever. I could talk about that forever. Just like the fun, like, crowd work jokes.

But yeah, Patron. Yeah. Trey and I are still doing our thing where we call up a woman and sing And that's, that's a heavy hitter every night. That's really fun. And I've started to get even more like free with, Oh dude, you'll love this story. So, you know, every person who comes up there, we want to get to know them so we could sing about them. Uh, it's an improvised song and we always ask them what they do for a living. And that gives us somewhere to work with. What's your name? Who you here with? You got kids whatever yeah um first night i forgot what she did but oh i think stay at home mom whatever uh easy to to work with next one what do you do for a living i teach deaf children oh careful okay um helen keller

yeah yeah so i still i went for it and it worked out great okay it worked out great yeah um i don't remember what i said exactly but just like, whatever her name was. Amy, thanks for joining us on the stage. When you're teaching your kids, they can't hear what you say. Something like that. But then the next night, whatever, Cheryl or whoever comes up. All right, what do you do for a living? I work with special needs kids.

It's like, come on. Can I catch a break here? Okay. What's your favorite color? Yeah. I got a hobby right did you have you ever done anything different than that were you in a cult uh yeah oh man oh so yeah i just kept getting like just rough job descriptions every time one girl's like a i'm a trans i'm a transcriptionist for a radiologist it It's like, dude, I don't know anything about your job. Any nurses out there?

Teacher, nurse, even volunteer firefighter. I take paralegal at this point. Just anybody. Whatever you got. Just give me one word. Everything you got. Yeah, right. I don't want like an adjective for what you do.

Right. Something that like comes up in the aptitude test whenever you like, you know, like what job is suited for you? Yeah. Like you're suited for accounting. Okay, great. I know that you're suited for transcriptions for radiology. Oh, okay. What did you do with that? That one, I did something. I don't even think I know what radiology is. I mean, dang it. Oh, I'm bummed that I can't remember because that one I pulled off something really good. Oh, bummer. What is radiology? Is that like MRIs and stuff? I think radiology could be something with like cancer treatments.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But still, transcriptionist? Are you like a note taker for the radiologist? I don't know. Yeah. No, I have no idea. Dang it. the radiologist? I don't know. Yeah. No, I have no idea. Dang it.

I'm bummed. I couldn't remember that one. Cause that was one of my favorite jokes of the whole week was whatever I said for the radiologist. Um, we had a girl named Kathy on stage. Uh, Oh, this might've been her. This might've been Kathy, the transcriptionist for the radiologist. I said, I called her catheter. Oh, I was like, I don't know what you do, but, um, some, you know,

sure. Well, flirty with catheter and 30, you know, those catheter, those catheter pickup lines. And then, uh,

another one I was proud of. This happened late last night. Girl's name was Heidi, uh, which is fine. And so I threw down, she worked in real estate, so that was not bad.

Okay. There's some jokes there, but then it was, uh, um, girl, you're on stage. I think that's pretty neat. Um, or girl, worked in real estate so that was not bad okay there's some jokes there but then it was uh um girl you're on stage i think that's pretty neat um or girl i think you're girl you're single i think we're dang it girl we're both single i think that's pretty neat after the show you want to play some heidi seek oh brought the house down heidi see yeah that's good that's really good thanks

yeah i don't know if it actually brought the house down but i was fired up afterwards and i started dancing like crazy afterwards i was so excited that's what it's all about is the physical humor on top of it oh yeah because i kind of have to you know compensate for my singing right so i gotta i dance it out pretty hard you gotta embrace the fact that you're not like yeah you're not the one that's there for the singing you're there for the humor to just look at me dance comedy club stages are small though you got me got me, Troy, Alan, Kathy on a stage. Not a lot of room to dance. Not a lot on there.

Fell off one stage. Oh, no. Yeah, it was fine. Not on purpose. Did you catch yourself or did you pop that balloon? I had a wireless mic. I didn't pop the balloon. But yeah, I kind of fell over.

You had a wireless mic? Like around your... No, no. Handheld. Oh, wireless mic. Wireless mic.'t a wireless mic like around your no no uh handheld oh wireless mic wireless mic like a britney mic i thought you were jc chazay out there yeah like oh wow okay not quite that but yeah yeah that makes more sense yeah um do you ever sorry no no do you ever use the mic as like a prop i feel like if i did stand-up comedy i would

i would i would really enjoy that I have it yet Like like just kind of like like hitting against your chest or something I don't know like I just think people that do that are so funny That is a good day Chappelle did that the other day and I saw it like he didn't even like he just kind of Made a joke and then like the punchline like hit and then he like hit his microphone on his leg It was just funny to me. I should try that just like the the noise of it is humorous that's great and that's what's so great about what we're doing is i can i can try that yeah and if it doesn't work i can do something different right you don't you don't have like a

specific brand of your comedic oh delivery i can reinvent myself every night if i want to be super dry you can be super yeah you know whatever crazy uh animated you know yeah so that's fun it is fun like everyone who came to show saw like a pretty different like set of mine, just like, I mean, this is the time to try some stuff out. Right. So, uh, I love that dude, but it did go well. Uh, some other things from the, uh, the, the tour and the show real quick. Um, we had some very different openers along the way. You know, we had one guy who calls him Troy, a little out of touch. How does he, are they just local guys?

Yeah, we just get local guys. What do they go, like five minutes? They go 15. So I go five, they go 15, then I go for another five. Okay. And then... Okay, Trey, if you're listening to this, get the local guy, 10, give Jake 15, 20. No, it's okay.

No, it's not. It's okay. It's okay, but it's not. Anyway. We had another guy, Joe Deuce. That's his name. No, it's okay no it's not it's okay it's okay but it's not anyway the uh had another guy joe deuce that's his name no no it's not joe deuce real name no that's what i said too i said that is quite the stage name and he's like yeah he's like uh i think he's fully black but he's kind of light skin and his real last name is salim and he he's like, just to be honest with you in Kentucky,

trying to get gigs with the last name Salim. He's like, once I change it to deuce, like everything changed. I was like, that's like so sad. That's crazy. So interesting.

Um, I was like, and also deuce is a sick name. Joe deuce. Just, yeah, it's like, that's a punchline in and of itself.

Yeah. And that's how to introduce him. I was like, he's, he's straight out of wherever he's from. You see him on Hulu, Fox. He's got the coolest name of anyone. I've ever introduced Joe Deuce

But he was the man like we got each other's phone numbers like he's so nice and like it's giving me like very like Specific feedback on my jokes, which is like really helpful and like oh cool A lot of comedians look down on people like Trey and I cuz you know, he's got spoon-fed these opportunities Mm-hmm, you know we didn't like we're not like the pure comedians but he was just like the best and so so funny uh another guy main job like is that his full-time no we don't know if it's like rude to ask like yeah anything else you do right because because probably right you would think you're probably part-time somewhere seriously though yeah so we don't ask because because the only people i've ever like well i think maybe only documentary i've ever seen is like Jerry Seinfeld talking that Netflix special he had where he like went around to like all his like old club and old house that he used to live in. And he talked about stuff, but I haven't seen anybody else that's like an average comedian, like a documentary about them, you know?

Yeah. Where's Joe Deuce's doc? Yeah. Deuce doc. Give us a Deuce doc please come on what if i told you uh but another opener we had brad his name was brad um yeah there's a there's a comedian in kansas city named brad ellis what which is a killer to me because like like i don't truly i mean i do have desires to like do stand-up comedy i think it'd be cool to try but it's kind

of sucky that there's already literally a stand-up comedian in Kansas City named Brad Ellis. You know what you gotta do? Brad Deuce. Brad Deuce. You gotta go Brad Deuce. You have to. What up?

It's me, B. Deuce. Brad Deuce sounds nice. Deucey-do. Run a lap around, yo. The Deuce. The Deuce's looms. Who's ready to get a deuce dropped on him. It's Brad deuce.

Brad deuce. Dang. It does have a ring to it. It's like all one. Like pick up your deuce bags in the back. We got merch in the back. You want to deuce bag? It's right there for you.

It's got my face on it. It's a character of you. It's got my face on it. It's a character of me. Brad Deuce. I would change my accent too, apparently. Yeah, yeah, you would. Yo, what up? It's me, Brad Deuce from Olathe, Kansas. You ever seen a guy put a mic on his chest?

That's what I said. I'm no pirate. I'm your wife. It's me. I'm just deucing up here. I'm just deucing, eh? I'm just deucing, eh? I'm deucing. You're telling me I have to glow in this deuce?

The aggressive mic punch. Oh gosh. Flimsy this thing around. Okay. Alright. Anyway, Brad Deuce sounds great. I've never seen a deuce on a stage. Come on. You guys ever see it? Yeah. I was literally going to say the same thing you did. That's okay.

That's how we improv sometimes. so brad the opener brad deuce oh that's funny um poor guy well not poor guy he's been doing stand-up comedy for years he should know better he goes up there and he's like uh some of you guys have seen they're trying to take some of these statues down and it's like oh dude i don't even know what you're about to say next but not the route to go yeah know your audience too it doesn't even matter who your audience is don't talk about the statues being torn down dude oh my gosh factor i guess of that i don't know i do understand like comedians sometimes go for that but it's a risky road and you have to be really good at being like way politically incorrect yeah and you're not very many people are like usually just like you're canceled like we'll never have the deuce loose

in here again i'm sorry sorry say that was the last time we get the deuce's feathers uh all up in all strewn about yeah so that poor guy he only did it once and then we got joe deuce in the house but yeah i mean this guy was just talking about the statues being torn down uh how he swears he's not racist just stuff like that or just like gosh dude i gotta follow that now in kentucky yeah okay white guy and yeah i had to go back on stage after him like all right so uh statues huh statues you guys were looking like statues out there in the crowd. Didn't see many of you laughing. Not even you over there, the drunk girl on the left.

I don't know. That's funny though. Gosh. I have nothing to rival any of your fun times. I have random things. Random thoughts. Here's one. That's a good rhyme. It's not a rhyme. Catherine and I and i were talking this is not even funny this is more just like something that you

might have an answer to okay we were talking about hawaii the other day um i don't know how we got on the topic but we were just talking about like people who either live in hawaii or like are from hawaii how that. We just don't really understand. Like, no, no, no. Like, like, hear me out. Hear me out. Like you, what is Hawaii? So you're kind of like, like we're like, like, do they have, do they have companies that are headquartered in Hawaii? Probably not unless they're like intangible tech companies, because any kind of like company that has like a tangible product, it's not going to Hawaii. Yeah. They're going to be on the mainland, I guess is what they call it probably. And so a, like, and like if you, your family's from Missouri, but if you lived in Wisconsin

and you said, yeah, my, you know, and like you grew up there, then you're like a Wisconsinite, you know, or like whatever. You had a family living in Wisconsin, grew them up, they're Wisconsinites or whatever now. Now, like, do, does that happen in Hawaii? Are there Hawaiians out there that are white?

Like, just like normal, like, like if you, like, are there any people that like, yeah, I was 20 years old and I decided to move to Hawaii and just live there

because this job was headquartered there. And like, like, like Catherine and I were both just like blown away. We're like, I don't know. That's a great question. We have no,

we have no idea about anything about Hawaii. I Would say yes. I mean, I don't know the answer to any of this really at all Do you know about any companies or like their economy? Like are they doing okay? I know it's like all tourists. I don't know much about their economy either I might this might get cut out but I would guess that a lot more like white Hawaiians are gonna come about just with like the tourism boom to Hawaii in the last like 10 years probably like I know like Jefferson Bethke it's a friend of mine lives in Maui and he has had several kids in Hawaii so they were you know

first gen Hawaiians right and they're white so I'm sure that that's happening more but I wonder if like that's happening mainly on like a wahoo maybe Maui because when I was in Kauai it seemed like very much not the case and like still like more like indigenous I think there's like four that like you like there are like habit habit added have a tatted and then like some other smaller ones that just the Abidjan ease live on. No, I don't think anyone lives on them. See, I didn't know. You could have fooled me.

I was like, really? Yeah, bow and arrow. Yeah. That's it. They have leprosy there. All of them have leprosy, so they can't leave. They can't leave. Whoa.

Bummer. Like Lord of the Flies. Yeah. But no rabies on the other islands, which is nice. That's crazy. It's awesome. And no snakes, right? No snakes. They come as a package deal.

It's like a... Maybe. Maybe. We don't know. We don't know anything about hawaii oh man anyway and like do people in hawaii like are they like oh i just got to get out of hawaii you know like people in kansas are like i just got i got to go move to dallas i got to go do something else with my life and see the world and go see new york like do you think people in hawaii are like just can't wait to get off this island oh i gotta i gotta get landlocked right i'm so sick of this water gosh i just want to go see a farm in kansas i need to see a tractor asap please get me to a tractor that john deere thing looks cool like that's that's nice green that's awesome you know

i bet they have to a little bit right i don't know but then again like we don't go to hawaii much because it's expensive so i'm sure they're not like, they got to really be dying to see Kansas to come here. Or even like, yeah, they're going to Idaho. They're not going to Idaho. Not going to Idaho.

No. I bet they go to Los Angeles. Yeah. San Diego maybe. Yeah. Because of the beaches. Maybe Australia. Yeah.

Yeah. Because I want to go somewhere warm. That's really pretty. And that has, yeah, I don't know. Maybe they have their family meet them in San Jose. Who knows?

Maybe. I know. I literally had down Hawaii question mark. I saw a chart this week on Reddit of NFL quarterbacks and where they played high school sports. It was cool that so many states have none. Kansas, Wyoming, Montana, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota. cool that like so many states have none you know kansas uh wyoming montana iowa north dakota south dakota um minnesota whatever you you know states uh-huh um but then two from hawaii uh mariota and

tua oh wow or both from there yeah and like i think is from uh either wisconsin maybe he's from minnesota yeah maybe he's from min. Yeah. Maybe he's from Minnesota. And he's like the only one in like the North or even like the Middle East kind of. Really? Drew Locke from KC. Middle East. I don't know. Yeah.

I don't know. Ohio just feels like it's got some talent. Ohio probably does. Yeah. I don't know. But whatever. That's crazy though. Yeah.

It's just. Not very good at football. A lot of Texas. A lot of California. Yeah. And then two in Hawaii. Good for them. Good for them tua is fun to watch yeah and there's two of them from hawaii which is yeah bill or chris burman made that joke dang it not not that exactly but something about like two uh two of them touchdowns we got two of them yeah whatever he said something like that um okay there's another random thought from me uh

who what kind of let me start again uh for my birthday lots of people wrote on my wall my facebook timeline so old stop the cat but it's my profile stop the cat bro real talk is that cool on the dl come on on fleek bro come on on fleek um bro brad um like like there's so many people that will write on my facebook timeline timeline thanks boomer um that like i haven't talked to since high school some people i think that's just their personality trait like i'm gonna be good at writing on birthday timelines. I want to know. I want to do a case study on those people, though.

Forrest Wheeler. She's my girl. Really? Don't talk to her unless it's my birthday. Yeah. Every year she comes through. And sometimes it's literally as simple as possible. No capitalization even.

Happy birthday. Happy birthday. No period. No exclamation. And I'm like. You don't seem like you want to be here. Yeah. And it's one of those things where it's

like i don't think that does anything for me honest like maybe it does a little bit when they write that like but i'm seriously curious like are if somebody's out there right now do you write happy birthday on every single and like if you don't have a relationship with them at all like i understand there's probably like like my dad he's got i don't know how many facebook friends 500 maybe yeah he's like probably close to most of them. He'll throw down some lowercase happy birthdays every now and then. No, he'll write like a novel. Happy birthday.

Hope you're doing well. Hope the Lord blesses you. Say hi to Sheila for me. Yeah, right. Something like that. But yeah, it's just so funny to me. Some of the people that will write that stuff. And I'm like, that's nice.

I'm not upset. But we're intrigued. I'm intrigued. I just want to know if why what are you doing if you're a lowercase hbd-er out there hit us up like do you wake up every morning and say whose birthday is today oh cool i know a lot of people who use birthdays as a way to unfriend people because it's like a reminder like every single day i'm like who my friends with which is such a funny thing like on your birthday they just get unfriended i used

to have a lot more friends than i did right now yeah every birthday i lose six friends this sucks four in real life two on facebook gotta stop taking my pants off it's just it's just what i do on my birthday it's just i don't know the catheter jokes are hitting i don't know i like watching whiplash without undies on okay anyway i like playing duck hunt. Yeah, I just stuck. Oh, man. That's a good thought. That's a good thought. So I need to give some shout outs to all the ghosties that I met in the last four days

because it's pretty cool. Like made me miss you a lot. Made me wish that they could have met you. OK, I thought you were going to do like one of those joke things with the $15. No, no, no. This is real. This is real. These are real people.

I'm excited to hear about it. Very first show, I come off stage and realize, I don't really have a plan of where I'm supposed to stand or sit, and the green room's kind of far away. Ricky Bobby style, like, don't know what to do. I'm not sure what to do with my entire body. And so I just scurry off to the side and sit. I'm like, can I sit here?

And next to this girl, she's like, yeah. And so I'm just sitting, and I'm truly kind of off stage. I'm hidden. It's fine. And about 30 seconds afterward, she's like, I love Ghost Run just like sitting and i'm like truly kind of off stage like i'm hidden it's fine and about 30 seconds afterward she's like i love ghost runners i was like oh i picked the right seat hey troy get a load of this girl oh that's awesome she knows brad deuce she knows brad deuce too yeah oh that's awesome so that was how like the week started it was so cool and she was like uh you

know we chatted a little bit whatever while the show was going and then i was she's like can i get a picture with you afterwards i was like oh yeah totally totally yeah couldn't find her afterwards that yeah that's a bummer for her i and you yeah i i tried to find her she did message me afterwards so at least her name's taylor so taylor what? You have her glass slipper, though. So, you write a letter on that slipper. And I'm somewhat of an expert at Photoshop, so I took care of it. Whatever Michael says. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hate to play favorites, but I do think I have some favorite people that I met.

Ooh. Probably because I spent a lot of time with them, so it's not totally fair. Sure. To some other people. Yeah, it's a time thing. It's a quantity thing. Rather than a volume thing. But they were awesome was this is also the very first night so this is kind of cool i did that athleta giveaway uh you know weeks ago and i think last episode i talked

about who i was going to give it to right this girl said i cut a chunk out of my sports bra for nothing i mess i don't think i talked about this last episode i messaged her back like hey what's your address and she gives it to me and then i see that it's like really close to lexington kentucky yeah and so i don't know if you said this on the pod but i heard okay yeah so then i was just like hey just see in kentucky don't worry about shipping yeah and so yeah her and her husband and her sister came and picked me up from the airbnb and we hung out like two hours oh wow and i gave her you know um skin tight athletic gear in front of her husband. But they were super cool. You're going to love this just as much as she will, let me tell you.

Trust me, I've tried it on. You're going to like how she looks in it. You're going to like it. I guarantee you. Tied in all the places it needs to be. Loose in all the places it doesn't need to be. Yeah, moisture wicking, if you know what I mean. Yeah.

So it was just super great. They were just awesome uh megan and blake and jesse shout out there's it was awesome they they tried to show me around but that was kind of like covid started to strike and they're like okay everything is closed so um we'll just here's insomnia cookie those are good though they were good cooks um okay here's a question like because i genuinely don't know with fans like how much did you guys talk about the podcast and how much did you guys just hang out and talk um because like i genuinely have met maybe like four people that have ever listened to my podcast that aren't just like harrison and my wife you know so i didn't even know they listened to the podcast because i looked back at like my dms with megan and we

had never really messaged before. It wasn't the ghost. Yeah. Okay. This was just my Instagram. Right. So I didn't know anything about them. I just kind of hopped in the car. Smart.

That's what you should do. Yes. Yeah. Just hop in the car. Foreign land. Yeah. The Middle East. My gosh.

So we used to have these statues up, but you know. You know, Brad, Brad Uno before Brad Deuce. Yeah. But yeah. So they, Megan kind of held out on me because i they were talking they just went on a trip to michigan and i was like did you guys by chance go to traverse city and like we did actually it's like tell me about it because i'm like maybe i should go to traverse city yeah and they're like by chance why did you ask about traverse city i'm

like it would take a while to explain i don't it doesn't matter just like this random thing from a podcast that's like all i said and they and it's anything and like 20 minutes later I realized that like like I think two out of the three of them listed the podcast They knew exactly why I listen to Traverse City. They were just playing it cool. Oh wow, and they knew so that I was like Wait, so, you know the I'm down boys and like we love the I'm down boys Maybe that was like that situation with you and that guy at the party where you're like, I know he's about to have a baby I know he's about to move but he's not concealing any of this information to me. Like yeah, just like no, why'd you say that guy at the party where you're like, I know he's about to have a baby. I know he's about to move, but he's not concealing any of this information to me. Like, yeah, just like, no, why'd you say that? Do you have any people that like are just, just able

to do anything? Like there's always down group of men to do that. Young men. Young. Yeah. Uh, yeah, they were super great. That's fun. There was one girl at one of the Toledo shows, Anne Marie, who's a big ghostie. Double name. Might be a patron. I can't remember. And it was super great to meet her. And I was like, I'm going to write your name down. So I remember to give you a shout on the podcast.

But this is after the show. All the lights are on. I'm like in the center. And I just got to do it a bit on being single. And so I guarantee you, it just looked like I was just blatantly getting this girl's number in front of everyone. I was like, oh gosh. She's like, no, it's fine.

I'm engaged. I was like, but it looks like I just like, I came off stage. It looks like you're getting an engaged girl's number. Yeah. No, thanks. But yeah, and Marie, still good to see you. Older woman, not old, middle-aged.

30. A woman who I wouldn't expect to be such a big fan of us sue it's our third time listening through it's like sue listening through listening through third episode you know she's no sir third time listening through all the apps she's like i started at 52 on youtube so i've watched all the youtube videos you've made and this is my third time listening through all of them. That's awesome. It's like, that is a lot of Jake and Brad to digest. Wow. Yeah.

So she, she knows probably more than we do about our podcast by now. Yeah. Um, I'll tell you, Amy had some stuff memorized. She like needs to write like an almanac. What? Almanac. See that's right. Almanac.

It's been a long day. Long day. Patron's hitting hard. Patron. hitting hard. She was actually one of the people that we sang to. Didn't know that she was such a big ghostie. What do you do? Who are you here with? She's like, great. She's like, one more thing.

I'm like, yeah? She's like, I'm a ghostie! Okay, okay. No one knows what that means. So she says that. I think it's going to happen more and more though. Because I think there's a trickle-down economics effect with trey kennedy it's trickle down trey and then trickle down troy trickle down troy and then like in the middle of like singing there's like a little pause and she's like on your feet i'm like okay no one knows what you're talking about no no i love it though she like made so many of those comments like when i'm performing she's like so snazzy because of like your thing for the concert yeah i mean she had like when i'm performing she's like so snazzy because of like you're there

in the concert yeah i mean she had like so much memorizing she was like regurgitating to me she was she was like she had like a notepad written down like oh not not bad oh oh you grew up in a christian home you should really go catholic that one relates where is is Mr. James? Is he here tonight with you? We should all go to Traverse City. Maybe have just drinks. We should just drinks later. Want to just drinks?

Actually, she did say that on stage. Now I'm remembering it. She did? When I'm pulling up her seat, she's like, something about just drinks actually she did say that on stage now i'm remembering it she did when i'm like pulling up her seat she's like what something about just drinks and i said no fries just drinks and she's like no fries just drinks that's great dude i love it i love that she she basically prioritized you over trey is what it felt like maybe a little uncomfortable but it was great that is great amy you're the bomb i really do think that's gonna happen i'll be interested to see like because before it was like oh you had to kind of try hard to find jake triplet through trey kennedy now it's like very obviously like you have a podcast together yeah yeah you're in a lot of more of his videos like not just filming them and stuff you know so i feel like that's gonna happen more and more there was also a woman it might have been amy i don't remember who it was but they were like oh one weird thing though uh why do you live with a 19 year old i was like he's 20

okay yeah first of all he turned 20 and second of all like don't you kind of know like the whole like youth ministry thing like it's cool it's fine uh but whoever it was like she listened to like some of the new episodes and some of the beginning episodes but not like the important ones for that was she the one that commented on YouTube is Isaac Jake's son? Oh yeah. Let's talk about that. What does that mean? That was hilarious.

Cause there was an early comment on that episode that says, does Jake have children? And then, you know, 12 hours later, wait, is Isaac Jake's son? I think there was a,

you made a comment like about that Greg story when he was sleepwalking. You were like, uh, I was expecting you to were like uh i was expecting to be isaac i was expecting to be isaac you know had a bad dream when i talked to dad or something like that i think you said something like that that's exactly it yeah okay just a joke just a joke just because that's who would say they had a bad dream right you got it he's a little kid one last shout out and it'll be done uh christina and chris easy to remember okay they were great they were at the seven o'clock show last night and christina was wearing the grkc merch yes asked me to sign it

Maybe. Yeah. These people were like, oh, like we would kick it a lot. Right. No, they're just like super cool.

They threw out a lot of like whenever I signed her shirt, the husband, Chris was like, oh, look at it later. Like they knew a lot of office references. I'll look at this when I go home. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever it is. He nailed it.

That's awesome. And then one last thing about them. They're like, okay, before we get out of here, yeah, yeah. Whatever it is, he nailed it. That's awesome. And then one last thing about them. They're like, okay, before we get out of here, we have to say one thing. So Chris's sister, well, I know you're looking for a Jasmine. Look at this.

I put it on our Instagram story this morning, but I found this review from someone on Apple podcast. One star review said so horrible. Oh, where do I begin? I enjoyed the first three minutes, but it started to go downhill. No format or segments. Extremely disgusting.

Anyone giving this good review is a bot. If you want a good podcast material, then search Ted business and actually enjoyable format, or segments. Extremely disgusting. Anyone giving this good review is a bot. If you want a good podcast material, then search Ted Business, an actually enjoyable pod. Sincerely, Karen Elizabeth McIntosh. Yeah, so I'm just calling, I'm calling hooey on it all.

Fooey. Yeah, that's a bunch of hooch. I think. It is. It's a hooch filled. The bot thing got me because you guys talked about bots on Do Less, God Bless podcast's a, it's a hood filled. The bot thing got me. Cause you guys talked about bots on do less. God bless podcast. Ooh, that's a good clue.

So I think that's something in the disgusting thing. Extremely disgusting is a little clue of like, cause that's just extremely disgusting about not having segments. That's not disgusting. Like if you were like, yeah, those guys are jerks to single moms. Extremely disgusting. Yeah. But we're not discussing.

Yeah. We're just trying to be funny yeah i i the clue for me was the word pod oh it's like a karen yeah who doesn't like a podcast isn't going to call it a pod like ted business now that's a good pod and they they signed it off their entire name yeah there's no way i think it's all part of some plan i do too so we just got a voice memo from karen m hopefully karen mackintosh yeah this is exciting what if it's just some random girl poor karen m has nothing to do with this okay we got two different like subplots of this like true crime podcast that's developing on the ghost hunters in the 80s here we go

bradley jacob um this is karen from washington you guys answered my question a while back about snow cones it just drinks i was pumped when you took my voice memo thank you that was so that is because i know exactly how you bag your dough um literally i grew up in idaho so i grew up on like what's the wild game so if you shoot a deer and there's snow on the ground, you typically haul it out with a sled. I can't believe this. The phrase is bag your dough because there's a lot more dough than a buck. I was so excited. It's much more common to shoot a dough than a buck.

Who cares, Karen? You have to haul it out with a sled. Talk about the review. They are heavy. She's still talking about deer. I remember my dad doing that. He had to cut the whole thing into quarters. Why is it disgusting?

He'd haul out like one fourth at a time. And the whole thing is like, you got to get it out there before the bears start to smell it. Oh, the bears! The bears! Extremely disgusting. All right. Have a great day. Oh, my gosh.

That could not have been more perfect. You said it like, you were like, oh, your voice memos came in from Karen M. I was like, do not listen to it. We got to save it. We got I listen to it on the podcast. Like, do not. Well, I want to know what happens. I cannot believe how much we built that. We were so sure.

Oh, yeah. Wait. So that's like almost unbelievable. Maybe that's part of the trolling is like, watch this, guys. This girl might be a master comedian. She's like, I'm going to talk to them for 60 seconds about or dear. What if Karen M was just legit and those people knew that she was gonna call back she's like like maybe it's karen m's dad the one that cut up the dough into quarters or elk in the court i don't even know what they

were saying i would just fluster by the fact it was like come on i can't believe that that's gotta be one of the greatest things that's happened on this podcast. That's so funny. Honestly, I feel bad for Karen right now. Sorry, Karen. I feel bad for voice memo, Karen. A poor-timed voice memo is what it is. It was an amazingly, amazingly poor-timed. I can't believe that.

Karen McIntosh. It could not have been a better time. We could have easily recorded an hour earlier if I would have put Hattie to bed and put Bo to bed and gotten here earlier. We decided to watch more of the football game that was on. Like all these things could have happened to where we would not have seen this and not have recorded this. But instead we did.

Oh, that's funny. I feel so like, I don't know, almost like taking advantage of like the fact that she didn't put her last name. You just put him to like just tease us a little bit. I feel so teased. That's the word. Right. Like, oh, I was looking forward to getting to the bottom of that.

Yeah. Stick around on next episode. Maybe we just aren't good because we don't have segments. I guess that's truly what they think. What a disgusting pod. Okay. Well, we got to listen to one more. This one says the title says Clint from the I'm Down Boys.

Got to listen to it. Let's do it. Yahoo. Jake. Brad. It's Clint here from the I'm Down Boys. Just spent a to it. Let's do it. Yahoo, Jake, Brad. It's Clint here from the I'm down, boys. I just spent a little time in the sunshine in Florida. And you would not think that there was a pandemic going on if you were here.

That's all I'm going to say. It's pretty nice. Just wanted to give you guys a little life update. Sorry, we didn't. Nobody had a voicemail for you last week. Oh, that's so great. Yep, just in Florida. Saw a sweet Corvette across the street. I yelled to the guy, hey, man, can I get a ride?

And he said, yeah. So I just ran across the street, got in this guy's car. We broke a lot of laws. And my mom was just standing there like my son just got in this random guy's car. Oh, my gosh. That's just the life of the I'm down boy. And, you know, I was just wondering what's the most spontaneous things you guys have ever done. But it looks like it's time for me to get going.

Let's get going now. Bye. Wow. Does he talk like that for real? I don't know. I hope so. He might be hammering it up a little bit. But I was thinking, Brad, Jake, I do a flirta flirta oh man so first

of all clint's the man he found an i'm down man basically in the corvette he found an i'm down man second of all it made me realize like for every i'm down boy there's an i'm down mom and that is where we need to dig to the bottom of this and And I want to know about them. Yes. I want to know about the I'm Down Moms. Let's get a voice memo from the I'm Down Moms. Yeah. Yeah. Lachlan's, you know, mom is in the corner like, hi.

What's up? Do your homework. Get the homework done, and then you can play. Then you can go to the Corvette. Yeah. That's awesome. Eat your Brussels sprouts. Gosh.

Best be going now. Florida. Best be going now. I. Best be going now. I got a pie in the oven. Come on, Clinty. That's great. Clint's just the man. I mean, yeah, he's an I'm Down boy.

Yeah, he takes his I'm Down boys with him. His I'm Down boys attitude. Boysness. Yeah. Wherever he goes. All about the boysness. Taking care of boysness. Taking care of boysness.

He sounds like the type of guys that I hung out with in college. that was yeah that was chris perry for me everyone has a friend like that yeah did you have one or was that you i don't know like what are you specifically talking about just like just like would say things that i maybe never would have said out loud to strangers but like it led to a lot of fun yeah that was kind of me yeah but i wasn't like crazy but stuff like that like other people like like brad what are you saying that you know like why are you talking to this guy you know whatever yeah and i'm just having fun with it like yeah i don't know we had an uber this week take us from the comedy club and was just like who'd you guys see and then i just had a blast and like

uh this guy uh trey kennedy tonight and he's like really was he good he's okay his opener was pretty good she means brother troy that guy can kill it yeah his opener was good train al did say a word it was just all me i was like oh just i just keep going funny i don't know like dude that's us you're talking about us no i would have like i would have messed with like yeah he was okay honestly he's kind of his things kind of played out though. Like I've heard better from these other guys. He tried singing. Have you ever heard of singing in a comedy club?

Seems kind of weird, right? Yeah, but yeah. I mean, that's all you can do really. No, his show's great. Yeah. It really is. But Clint, he asked us if we've ever done anything spontaneous. I was about to say I hate these questions.

I'm so bad at like, you could ask me anything. What is the most blank if we've ever done anything spontaneous. I don't, I was gonna say, I hate these questions. I'm so bad at like, you could ask me anything. What is the most blank that you've ever done? Who is the most blank person you ever know? And it's so hard for me to answer those things off the top of my head. I think having a podcast is maybe better at those types of questions. Yeah. But it's still tough. I mean.

What's the most spontaneous thing you've ever done? Yeah. I've done plenty of spontaneous things. It's a tough question to answer. I got in the car with Megan, Blake and Jesse. Right. A couple of nights ago. Didn't know him at all. Yeah, I'll do done. Yeah. I've done plenty of spontaneous things. It's a tough question to answer. I got in the car with Megan Blake and Jesse a couple of nights ago. Didn't know him at all. Yeah. I'll do that. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I studied abroad in Spain and I look back on it and I'm like, I don't really know how I made that decision or why I made that decision. Like I didn't really know anybody else that was doing it. I didn't know why I really wanted to go to Spain. Yeah. But it's kind of all of a sudden was going,

I don't know. Like, so it wasn't like a split second spontaneous decision by any means, but it was just like a, I didn't really like nowadays I'll like think about it. Like, like, like especially with,

it's so easy to find everything online. Not that we couldn't back then, but like I research, I didn't research very much. I did some, but I was like, I'll go to Sevilla because that's the sister city of Kansas city. That'd be kind of cool. Yeah. But beyond that, I was like, I guess I'll just do this. That's how it was at college. I

look back at that. I'm like, well, I didn't consider that at all. Like I went to K state basically kind of because the girl I was dating at the time who, you know, her in-laws basically bought a table for their client. Yeah. That's a call back to a long time ago. Um, yeah, but I didn't really think about it too much. I always thought I was going to go KU and then K state happened. So spontaneous,

you know, we're, we're wacky people. So wacky. Hey, it's wacky Bruce. Yeah. I,

when I think back, like I think, yeah, kind of similar, um, style calling Trey out of the blue. I think it was pretty spontaneous. I wasn't like searching for jobs.

I wasn't like seeking anything else in my life. Like you weren't like, OK, I'm going to do a lot of research and like see exactly what I need to say to him. It was more like, I think I should just try this real quick. Yeah. See what happens. And I did nothing to get his phone number. I got put in a group text because people were trying to watch The Bachelor.

They forgot that I didn't live in Kansas City. And then someone said Trey's name in the group text. I'm like, he's probably in here. Let's see Oklahoma City area codes. Yeah. Tried one of the three. And he answered. Like, I don't know if I had the persistence to like keep calling had he not answered.

Really? You know, I don't know. Yeah. Because when I think about it. Because you don't want to be annoying. Yeah. And I wasn't like dead set on doing this. Right.

I was like, that would be cool. Right. And it is cool. Yeah. Toledo on a Tuesday. Toledo on a Tuesdayuesday toledo on a tuesday kidding me yeah back to back to back anyway so i feel like we've done a lot of micro well i mean those are bigger things that we are talking about but also like i feel like every day

we do spontaneous things together and like yeah you know i don't know i went to the library today come on that's spontaneous that's crazy also i think well i don't know how i feel about this on one end i love what um the taxpayer dollars do for my pickleball courts but that library is so nice and there's four of us inside of there it's crazy i'm like whoa this is like really really nice which one do you go to? Johnson County one on 87th. Oh, that's like the very nice one. It's crazy. That's the one that has like the woodworking shop and everything.

Yeah. They have the maker space. Yeah. It's so cool. It's like, I don't know if we need this. I will be fair to them. I think just right now because of COVID. Like it was, it was, that was the one I used to go to when I talked about on the podcast.

Like this is a great place to go hang out. It's popping. Yeah. Big time. It's popping. That's the one where you can go pet dogs dang yeah nice nice i'm talking about i went to the computer lab to print off some things because target doesn't have printers and well they had a 350 printer they had one they wanted to stop being such a cheapskate i thought this is interesting they um i don't even want to get into like trying to assume why you would go to the computer lab to surf the internet

But for people already in the computer lab all four of them were on reddit. So that was interesting Oh, really? So that says something I guess, huh? I would have assumed that they were doing it more of like a utilitarian use for the like I need to print something or whatever But yeah, four out of four were on reddit, huh? But one guy was on reddit. He had two monitors there left screen reddit right screen was like a Um, like some sort of orchestra playing. Oh interesting Huh, but one guy was on right he had two monitors there left screen right at right screen was like a Like some sort of orchestra playing. Oh interesting, so he's like kind of ready. Yeah, you like to have that on the background Why he's ready oh ma. Yes, daddy Yeah

Yo-yo monitor moderator yeah, yo-yo moderator. No, you know he calls the computer screen is yo-yo monitor though That's what you're trying to say. Yeah Anyway, we're spontaneous guys clint just not great at interview questions hey well i was let's say it let's say it and then maybe it'll be a commitment to us we're thinking about going on a spontaneous trip oh yeah that's still a thing yeah oh and i also catherine's in wait actually catherine's in for me to go sorry oh cool she's like very encouraged she She's like, you should do that.

Torrey Holt. Oh, I didn't tell you this. This is a random final thought for you out there that want to help me earn money. Jokes are back, baby. Unsolicited. They got a message the other day that said, do you want to do some Valentine's Day themed jokes? They probably listen to the pod. Maybe so.

Valentine's Day, though. Let's practice. Let's get a few right now. Go. Okay. Something. Let's see. I guess the theme is Valentine's Day.

I need to give you a theme. Love. Cupid. Arrow. Why did the cherub get a date? Because they thought that they were. He was Cupid. Nice. Is that cherub and Cupid the a date? Cause they thought that they were, he was cute. Pid.

Nice. Is that cherub and Cupid the same thing? I don't know. You just gotta think of a, a synonym and then yeah. From there. Um, why, um,

why was the girl's love language punctuality? Why? Cause he was always on Valentine. I think I've done a joke like that before valentine is definitely like a great oh gosh um okay yeah yeah i'll just go off yours like you know something about like uh why would uh you propose on February 14th? Because you. It's the best. Because it's the best Valentine's to do it.

Yeah. Or because you love them to the end of Valentine's. Yes. Because it's the end of the world as we know it. Like something that doesn't make any sense at all. Why would you propose on Valentine's Day? Because it's a traditionally romantic holiday. What is the best gift to give on Valentine's Day?

Chocolates and flowers. Typically, but it's tough to say. I don't know the context. Find what works for you. Right. It's a really long answer. Play chess, not checkers with the lady okay um brad why did uh what's oh here we go what's sylvester stallone's favorite gift on valentine's day what box of chocolates oh i think you're gonna go rocky road ice cream but that doesn't
