Jake, quick conversation starter for you. Is it possible to raise your voice without sounding mad? Hey, Brad! Like that? Yeah, kind of. So Catherine, the other day, she's been giving me, no, she did once. She gave me a foot bath. She like gave you a foot bath.

She basically said, hey, Brad. She scrubbed you with her feet. Your feet are gross and I want them to not be gross because i don't want them to smell oh she scrubbed your feet she scrubbed my feet okay i thought she scrubbed you with her feet oh i see like she's like all right you just lay down that's even more weird i got some soap on my feet i'm just gonna walk around for a little bit yeah uh but she's she's down there near the foot bath like doing like whatever this pumice scrub thing is. Pumice.

What is that? That's like a type of stone. Yeah. Paleo. Oh, paleo hummus. Yeah. Cool. Paleo.

Yep. And she, you know, I said something to her in a normal voice. Let's say I was like, oh, that kind of hurts, you know, whatever. She goes, what? And I was trying to like have the exact same timbre, everything. And I go, oh, that kind of hurts. And she's like, it was like, we low key gotten a little bit of an argument right there. Okay. I'm okay. Okay. And I was like, no, no, no. I was just trying to, I was trying to be louder. I was trying to like, just talk louder. That is tough. I was trying to

talk louder. Like, like how do you, you have to really be careful of the tone. I think. Yeah. You almost can't. Oh, that's tough, right? I think you can't do it at all. When someone's scrubbing your feet, you can't raise your voice at them, Brad, but then there's a low key hum. There's a low key. There's an LKH right there so that she can't hear me unless I get a little bit louder. Low key hum on the palm, low key hum with the palm on the foot. That's too bad. So, hey, what's your name? Jake. Sorry, what is it?

Jake. Give me louder. My name? Jake. See? You got like, how do you raise the volume without raising the octave? My name? Oh, you want my name? You want my name? i'll tell you my name

go heisenberg on him say my name do i listen well whatever this is too long for the intro but let's do a brian crason interview okay let's talk about it after Episode 83. Let's have a day. Uh-oh, uh-oh. Ghosts. Ghosts. You started high, Brad. I know. Uh-oh, uh-oh. Ooh, I think, I think that this Tybee means that it's going down with some random thoughts on why me.

Ghost Every Monday morning Monday morning We're taking breath Hey! That was the right part Yeah, I started high You knew it right away

I don't know Dude, speaking of just feet and hygiene i was in the shower perfect earlier this morning and i was like man it smells bad in here like this shower like smells someone should clean this shower and after a few minutes i was like you know what i think it's me i think i think i'm one of the three people that could do this thing i think i smell Oh, you think you smell bad. I thought you meant like, I think it's me that should clean the shower. No, no, no. I think like I am why it smells bad in the shower.

That's when you know you smell real bad as if you could smell yourself while you're cleaning yourself. That was, yeah. Oh, I had that. I'm just trying to be vulnerable in front of all the ghost runners. Sure. Yeah. You wash legs.

I always wash legs. Good for you. That's my thing. Yeah. But I'll tell you one thing I didn't wash. That's what people know me for. People know me. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a leg washer. Allergic to red you. That's my thing. Yeah. But I'll tell you one thing I didn't wash. That's what people know me for. People know me. Yeah.

I'm a leg washer. Allergic to red meat. Enneagram seven. Huge leg washer. That's my thing. No. I really like washing my legs. I don't like washing other people's huge legs.

No, I won't. I'm not a huge leg washer. I'm a huge leg washer. Have I done it once? Sure. To try it. Sure. We were decent friends at the time, but no, I'm not going to do that anymore.

No. Wash my own legs. Right. I'm hugely into it. Yeah. It was just kind of a bummer. The both Florida Airbnbs we had did not come with soap. So.

With an Airbnb? That's too bad. One of them came with shampoo and can dish. Oh, that's fine. Use that bad boy. Well, I'll tell you, you don't smell great when you finally get home and shower. You don't smell that good from shampoo. Or maybe you're just Florida and it's just like

a lot of humidity down there. There's a lot of humidity. It's nice down there. Actually, it wasn't that nice for Florida. People were like, you know, it got down to like 40s, which is cold for them, but people treated it like, you know, the day after tomorrow, ice storm is coming into

town like we saw people in like winter coats patagonia like down jackets and it's like two hours ago i had my shirt off you know and trey was in the pool you guys are gonna be fine oh i think that's part of like uh like if you own a nice like heavy coat you want to have an excuse to wear it every once in a while because heavy coats are kind of expensive because so it's like oh it's 40 degrees. Let's put this thing on. I remember when I studied abroad in Spain, I,

uh, like it was really warm climate, but I, I studied abroad second semester. So I got there in January and yeah, it was like 50 degrees. And I was like, maybe 60,

I don't know. Like it was plenty warm. And I was in like Chaco's walking down the street and people were in like scarves and like, you know, really European like coats and stuff. And I'm like, they looked at me like I was in like Chaco's walking down the street and people were in like scarves and like, you know, really European like coats and stuff. And I'm like, they looked at me like I was crazy. I bet they look good though. They looked very cool. Yeah. They had the, uh, you know, like whatever we call the soccer, like the really cool, like haircuts, like really short on the sides. Like it's like really popular in America now, but it wasn't popular back 2012 or

13 when I was in Spain and they were everywhere in Spain. I bet Europeans are known for looking good in the winter time. Yeah. So it doesn't surprise me. Like just a nice overcast day and just walking down the street with some Zara, Zara coat, just looking nice. Yeah.

Yeah. One thing about Florida weather that I noticed is that Christmas music makes no sense in Florida. Thank you. Thank you. Who wants to spend Christmas in a tropical climate anyway? Kevin McAllister. Home Alone 2.

The weather outside is frightful. No, it's not. No, it's not. Weather outside is wonderful. No, it's not. I can see a palm tree. Right. I can smell the osh.

Yeah. Weather outside is amazing. Doesn't show signs of stopping. Stopping what? Stopping what? Humidity. Yeah. 50 degree heat.

Chestnuts roasting on open fire. I'll take some street tacos instead, actually. Thank you. Yeah. That's within walking distance. That's so real though, dude. I'm I exactly, I resonate with that. Even like people in the South.

Yeah. Which I guess Florida is the South, but like. It is. Yeah. I'm just like, you gotta, you gotta have a little bit of like, like that's part of what makes Christmas so romantically great besides birth and Jesus and all that stuff, you know? But like, just like wonderful. Like it's just, oh, it's just a nice, kind of like you, we had that discussion about

naps last week. Like there's something about, you need, you need some kind of atmosphere to then create atmosphere outside to create a nice atmosphere inside. I bet if you were born and raised in Florida, you don't know any different and it's fine. You're used to celebrating Christmas that way. But yeah, it felt weird. We go on a, in a restaurant that's got the garage doors open. We're basically outside and there's like a Christmas tree there.

It's like the Christmas tree is what looks out of place. Right. Not like me being here in December. That looks weird. I believe there's a fact Irving Berlin, the writer of white Christmas. Oh, that's a, yeah, we all know that. Hey, I bet half the people out there do. No way.

Yeah. No way. He wrote yeah, we all know that. Hey, how about half the people out there do? No way. Yeah. No way. He wrote that, I believe in Hawaii. So he was in Hawaii wishing he was basically in North Dakota, which I don't buy it. He's like, man, my, my, my cousins live in Florida. They live in Tampa or my aunt and uncle do. And we went and visited Tom Brady. Yeah, seriously.

We we got some jabs in. But they we wouldn't visit them every once in a while for Christmas. And I went swimming one time on Christmas Eve outside. Whoa. It was not super pleasant. It was probably in the 70s, but it was I was like warm for a third grader. In third grade, you don't really care about how cold it is. No, you don't.

You know, Hattie's still the age where she like doesn't recognize weather. That's awesome. Yeah. But then I'm like, you're going to get sick. Like the other day, she really wanted to go outside. And I was like, you can't go outside right now. It's so cold. And she was so stubborn and she's like, I'm going outside and like disobeyed dad. Don't do it. Uh, but went outside. I think it was, there was ice on the ground and she went outside barefoot and I was like, Hattie, you can't do this. She doesn't realize that. No, I was like, I was like, you're going to get cold. She's like, I'm not cold. She's just so stubborn. She's so like, she claims that she never gets cold. That's cool. Maybe she doesn't. I don't buy it. You should get her on

Oprah. You feel those hands. They're cold, but she doesn't know it. Maybe she doesn't have the nerve endings to sense cold. Maybe, maybe that's, that's a thing. It's actually really dangerous. I know. I don't know people personally, but yeah't have the nerve endings to sense coldness. Maybe. Maybe that's a thing. It's actually really dangerous. Really? I don't know people personally, but yeah, there's people who can't feel pain, put their hand on an oven, just have no idea, or like on a stovetop and just have no idea it's hot. Yeah, it's like, even just like, you know, you're constantly moving in your seat because there's like a little discomfort.

People will get like nasty bruises on their legs and whatnot because they don't like shift around. There's all this subconscious stuff we do to like avoid discomfort. If you can't feel stuff, then it's bad news. You know, somebody that struggles with that? No, no, I don't know anyone person. I've just like seen, I have a youtube.com account. So I've seen some videos of people. Okay. You have premium. I don't. Okay. Maybe someday. Yeah. Well, Hey, sign up for a patron. Maybe I'll get there. Yeah. How was your week, Brad?

I feel like my week has been, I've been, I've been getting kicked in the teeth a little bit this week, to be honest. We've had somewhat different weeks. I would say they were a little different from each other. I feel like, yeah. Yeah. Then again, I was gonna say, I feel like we've both been grinding, but then again, you sent me that video of your Airbnb in Florida.

It didn't look like you were grinding at the time. I was not. But overall, I think you were definitely grinding. I kind of just forgot about Thanksgiving being like, I was going to not work for a week. And so I told all these clients, um, potential order people that I was like, Hey, yeah, I can, I can do that in about three weeks turnaround time. And so now I'm just like, now's the end of the three weeks. Yeah. Okay. And so I had an order go out today or growing out Monday or another order going out

Wednesday. So, and they're big orders. I bet you can afford YouTube premium after this week. Yeah. Let's hope so. How's the Venmo account looking? It's nice. Yeah. Actually, right before we recorded this, I got a big old payment for the delivery that went out today. So I was like, that's pretty fun. Yeah. But it's like, I actually, I live streamed the other day because I put together 18 chairs. Yeah. Let's talk about it. I was like, this is monotonous. I don't want something to do because I know I'm going to be up forever tonight.

So I did it. I was a little confused though, because I saw a post on the Patreon, like, hey, doing a bonus live stream. But then it was like public on our YouTube account. Yeah. Yeah. I just did it. I just did it for everybody. Okay. I didn't know if it was supposed to be our YouTube account. Yeah. Yeah. I just did it. I just did it for everybody.

Oh, okay. I didn't know if it was supposed to be one way or the other. No, I just, I posted on Patreon just to give a little extra, extra love to the patrons and we keep it on the Patreon. So if you,

if you didn't see it, it's unlisted on YouTube now, but you can check it out on patreon.com. Yeah. But yeah, it was fun. It was really fun. People were,

you went for two hours straight. Yeah. And it felt like, I mean, it was fine. Like I had people were you went for two hours straight yeah and it felt like i mean it it was fine like i had 18 chairs to make so i was like and and the whole the whole time i was like okay if i make these 18 chairs in time i think it started like eight o'clock if i make these 18 chairs in time to go to chick-fil-a breakfast we're going and so so i got done with the 18th chair you know chick-fil-a breakfast ends at 10 30 got done like 10 21 i was like it is nine minutes away from my house.

Let's see if we can make it. So I, I drove, I drove in the truck with it, with it and everything. Um, so they got to meet Harrison on the stream. Oh, Mr. James. No, Mr. James was there a day. I live streamed again this morning.

Mr. James is there this morning. Um, wow. What a great opportunity to plug our YouTube channel. Turn on your post notifications. Yeah. And then you're like legitimate. You'll get a notification the next time Brad's bored, make a chairs. to plug our YouTube channel. Turn on your post notifications. Yeah, seriously. Legitimately, you'll get a notification the next time Brad's bored making chairs. Yeah, I'm down, boys.

We're all there on the pod. I missed it. I joined the first one for about 90 seconds. I had just landed in Charlotte, and I saw that you were live, so I popped in the chat and said, what's up? And then I had to go walk off the plane. It was really fun. That's sweet that you're doing that.

That's awesome. Yeah, I might do it more. I wanted to make sure it wasn't going to like take away from my productivity because I had so much to do, but I was like, I feel like I can double what's it called? Multitask double task, double task anyway. So yeah, that's my, that's been my week. It's just a lot of work. My dad's birthday was this week. Hot dog. Oh, actually that reminds me of something fun, fun story about my dad's birthday. Okay. Um, so I don't know if you, I respond to a lot of the Instagram messages. I appreciate that. You've been crushing it lately. Thanks. Thank you. It's kind of a OCD thing for me. Like if I know I have an unread message, I want to respond to it. If someone sends us something, but if I, yeah, if I see it, I, or if I know that we have one, I have to click on it.

I got you. You got it. Jeez. I got very little sleep last night, okay? So it might be a few. The synapses are a little bit struggling right now. But there was one message from a girl, a woman. Long story short, she mentioned that her husband played in the NFL.

Oh. And told a story about. I know Mitchell Schwartz's wife is a huge Trey Kennedy fan. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh. And told a story about. I know Mitchell Schwartz's wife is a huge Trey Kennedy fan. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Yeah.

Oh, so maybe trickle down. Trickle down Trinity. Trey Kennedy. Gosh, Trinity. Holy Trinity. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we could have Trey dress up like an angel

and call him the Holy Trinity. T-R-E-N-N-E-D-Y. So this woman, long story short, she said that one of her friends was a place kicker back in the day in the NFL. And when she was giving birth to her child, they wanted to wait until this guy made his field goal before she pushed. Cool. Which I was like, wow, what a fun, random story.

Because she related it back to your story about watching, like it was like the perfect timing last week. Oh, it the chiefs yeah my homes and so and i was like i gotta i gotta know who your friend was kicker you know i figured out it was ryan longwell oh i was gonna say like let's make it a fun game i don't know who that is no i wouldn't have guessed that it was like like early to mid 2000s i think um ryan longwell um vikings packers i, I think. He was a decent fantasy kicker back in the day. I didn't know. I never had NFC North kickers. I stayed away from them.

Good for you. Yeah. I think he was on the Saints for a hot minute. But anyway, so now I was like, okay. I didn't straight up ask, but I was like, well, who's your husband? Who'd your husband play for? And she mentioned four teams plus an international team. Okay.

And so then I sent it to my group me. I was like, hey, let plus an international team. Um, and so then I sent it to my group. Me, I was like, Hey, let's figure this out. Don't want no one Google it. Let's try to figure this thing out. And I'm not going to go, I don't know. Should I, I don't think I should like mention their names maybe. Okay. Let's just say he's a Heisman trophy winner. No way. Yes. A wife of a Heisman? A wife of a Heisman trophy winner from the, from the nineties. I'll say he's, he won the Heisman in the nineties. This is awesome. And yeah, his wife listens to our podcast. And so I was like, no way. That's crazy. He didn't, he didn't have the most illustrious NFL career. I can say that. I think, I think she understands that, but he probably still

did very well for himself. And I was like, that's nuts. Wow. Holy cow. And so I, I was like, okay, I'm gonna shoot my shot. It's my dad's birthday today. How, how ridiculous would it be for him to send me a video for my dad for his birthday? And so this guy, her husband recorded a video on the golf course. He's like, Hey, he was on the golf course. Yeah. And he was like, Hey, what's up? I just want to, he, she accidentally called my dad, Dean Ellis. And so Dave Ellis, close enough. So he's like, hey, what's up? Of course he was on the golf course. Yeah. And he's like, hey, what's up? I just want to... She accidentally called my dad Dean Ellis instead of Dave Ellis. Close enough. So he's like, I just want to wish Dean, my guy Dean Ellis, a happy birthday.

And he's like, oh, and I got a special guest with me. And from outside the frame comes Joe Theismann. No way. And then Joe Theismann's like, hey, what's up, Dean? Just want to say happy birthday. Joe Theismann's like considerably older than this guy would be, right? Correct. Okay.

Yeah. But they're just, they're buds. I think they're friends. Are they both, because they're quarterbacks? Yeah, I'll say it. I think I'm looking at the guy. Let's go ahead and narrow it down a little bit more. I'm looking at the guy.

He was a quarterback. Yeah, I see him. Wow. And then, of course. He looks like a nice guy who would send your, who would send daddy Dean a birthday message. Super nice. And so my dad, I showed it to my dad and he thought it was so cool and like love, love the fact that they call him Dean anyway.

So I don't know if they're the only, uh, Heisman, uh, family that listens to our podcast, but definitely the only one we've heard of. So I texted her and I was like, definitely the first wife of a Heisman trophy winner I've ever had, uh, contact me. Me too. And she, this is so fun. Cause it's like so crazy that I was like, remember when we started this podcast in my basement, like a year and a half ago, and now Heisman trophy families are listening

to us because she says every Monday and Friday when she goes out on her morning runs, she says, I'm going to go out and run with my two best friends, AKA Brad and Jake, Jake and Trey. So, and he knows, he knows who we are. Oh, Heisman Heisman. I mean, maybe, maybe Cam Newton's family listens to us. I don't know. I don't know about RG three, but, um, anyway, I don't know. How fun is that though? Pretty fun. That's really fun. If you're a celebrity out there and you list our podcast and you're not telling us, let us know. Stop keeping that from us. No, because that's fun. That's awesome. Yeah.

I was like, that's wild. Wow, that's pretty cool. Yeah, because we're small potatoes compared to Heisman Trophy runners. We're small, small, starch people. Anyway, so that was fun. So celebrate Dad's birthday. Happy birthday, Dean.

That's awesome. Yeah. Speaking of DMs that we got, I saw one. I was in the middle of something, so I just saw the preview come on the screen. But it said, so I can actually speak to something you were talking about last week. I am an elephant caregiver.

I would like to know more about that. Because you responded to her, right? Did I? Yeah, I'm trying to remember what I said to her. Basically it was talking about the discussion about how big the babies are or something like that. Because we got multiple YouTube comments like, baby giraffes can sometimes be bigger than baby elephants.

Which I don't believe. I don't don't buy it no unless that neck is a lot heavier than we think unless it's like an uh like a aluminum no aluminum is light steel steel it's a steel neck i think i think we would know what do they make anvils out of those things look heavy those are iron i think iron cast. Aluminum is like, you know, aluminum bottle. Light. Crushable. Aluminum bottle? Aluminum can.

Oh, I was like, I actually don't know what you're talking about. Aluminum can! Whoa, okay, you're raising your voice at me, Brad. You seem angry. Yeah. You seem angry. Stop. I seriously don't think you can raise your voice without changing your tone.

Just rub my feet, okay? your tone. Just rub my feet. Okay. Just stay quiet. Rub my feet. Okay. Anyway, I just thought it was cool. We got the wife of Heisman Trophy winner and an elephant caregiver. In the same week.

In the same week. It was a big week for the DMs. Hitting us up. So that's pretty cool. I honestly, I tried her. I can't remember exactly what I said to her, but yeah, it was like, what? Like, how do you? Like, it's like one of those things where it's like, it's like Billy Ray Cyrus, like setting up the joke for the

waitress, Jessica Modi. Like, it's like, Hey, like, what should I get this or this best of both worlds? It's like, it's like, we set up that girl, like, Hey, let me give you this exact thing that we need to know information about. And she's like, yeah, that is exactly what I do. I, I know exactly what we're talking about with baby elephants. That's awesome. Yeah, it was a crazy coincidence. Elephant caregiver. We had so many DMs this week. So many people posted about Spotify Wrapped. Spotify Wrapped.

It was crazy. It was honestly humbling to think about because I looked at my Spotify Wrapped and I did not listen to that many minutes of podcasts compared to people listen to us. And I was like, holy cow. Yeah. That's amazing. there's a lot of like yeah when you look at like the minutes or some people got like i think one guy messaged me that he listened to eight episodes in one day yeah i saw and i i want to know about these stats uh because i my my my best day with the ghost was 18 episodes oh surely i didn't list 18, but maybe I listed parts of 18 episodes, but I think, yeah, there were some people, there was one person that said they listened to 12 in

a day. Oh my gosh. And there was somebody else that listened to 14,000 minutes of us and they calculated out. It was 10 whole days, 10 days straight. Whoa. That's crazy. That's too much. We're not that good. That's too much. Um, that's pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. I love the Spotify wrapped. I, I wrote down some things that's pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. I love the Spotify wrapped. I, I wrote down some things that I thought about it, but then I remembered, I think I said this last year on the podcast when we were talking about Spotify. I hated on it. Didn't we? Yeah. So I won't say him again, but it is just funny that how often people post and you know, like, Whoa, not surprised. Yeah. I bet you're not because it's data. I don't know if I said this

last year or not, but once you become a dad, it's like your Spotify wrapped is just messed up because I had everything on there from need to breathe the little red riding hood, you know, like it was like in the yellow brick road. Yeah. We listened to so many hours of little brick, little brick. You get it. Yeah. If you listen to like a white noise and stuff too,

then your Spotify is also ruined. Cause that's your top song. No, I don't do that, but that's interesting. We don't need it. No. Brad,

can I tell you about Florida a little bit? Yes, man. I want to know all about it. I, I got a little, uh, text from my friend Aaron.

That's right. The night of, uh, the West Palm beach one looked like it was awesome. Yeah. And I sent you a text. I was trying to find it for some reason. Do you feel like that?

I messaged search doesn't work very well. Yes. For how, for how good Apple is. It doesn like it was awesome. Yeah. And I sent you a text. I was trying to find it for some reason. Do you feel like that iMessage search doesn't work very well? Yes. For how for how good Apple is. It doesn't work very well at all. Like, yeah, I bet the Google phone works real nice because Google's like a search engine. I bet. Harrison, hey, let us know. Let us know, Harry.

If you can, you know, you and two other people have a Google phone. But so I couldn't find the text. But I remember texting after the first night in Naples. You said, to go yeah and i'll find it for you okay you got it yeah the the shows went great naples we were in two cities naples and west palm beach and i think we did a combined five shows this week it was really fun really great oh here it is you got it yeah i said how was tonight and said, I think tonight was my best show yet. Okay. At one point I said, pinch my naples.

If that gives you the indication of how comfortable I felt. Yeah, I'm glad you found the actual text. That's good. Yeah, I went for it. I said, pinch my naples on stage during the duet. Was it? Oh, okay. I was going to say, was it just like, kind of like a.

Well, pinch my naples. We got a good crowd. Well, pinch my naples and call me Jake. You know. We got a good crowd. Naples and call me Jake. Get a good crowd tonight. Yeah. Make my Naples feels some kind of way. Maybe you should just start.

Yeah. Throwing a pun in every once in a while is like a non sequitur. Pinch my Naples. So I was at a Chipotle the other day. The guy said they're out of Brown race. I was like, pinch my Naples. Dang it. Should've got here sooner.

Wow. But yeah, I, uh, yeah yeah i went for it the naples okay pun okay that was great and i feel like i just kept getting better it's crazy how uh it's gonna sound like a crazy concept but it's it's starting to become true the more you do something the better you get at it isn't that weird we talk about practice we talk about practice not the game about practice. Not the game, not the show, not the show practice, but the show. Uh, yeah, that is kind of wild. It's crazy. It's like, if you have more experience, you're likely to be better at something more repetitions, more times getting to do something, you will become better at it. So like in theory, the next time you do it, the next time you go on tour, will you be better? It's likely that I will get better than as well.

Like you'll be better than you were this time because of practice. I know it's hard to wrap your head around it, but it is true. I'm pretty sure. Pinch my naples. That's crazy. Wow. Okay. Yeah.

So you just felt more comfortable. Is it, is it the comfort that you're getting better with? Is it the cadence? I mean, it might be everything, but like, what do you, if you had to break it down a little bit, like this is, this is what I was struggling with, you know, at first, whatever, struggling with or not as polished on that I'm doing better with. Probably two main things. One would just be the syntax. Just like every time you're up there, I'm saying things at a slightly different way. That way I can improve. I think it would be silly to be this new in a standout comedy and just like stick to,

I'm going to say it this way every time. You know, I'm like, you can tell people that do that too. And it's like, yeah, this is not good. Oh yeah. Some of the guys we've opened or that have opened with us on the road. Like this guy is maybe not used to an audience like Trey's. He goes for 15 minutes and the early show doesn't go that great. And then I sit out there the next time he doesn't change a thing it's like dude how do you not want to like be better i think

he's just up there to like grab his transactional his paycheck and his tray check and then you know get out of there it's nice it's trinity but i try to mix up a little bit every night and i think that helps you improve so the syntax of like oh i said this randomly and that actually is kind of cool i said one thing just off the cuff i was was feeling it. It was the night of Naples. I was pitching my Naples and I, I delivered like a punchline that I thought of on the spot and it like went phenomenal. I was feeling great. And now like I've switched things around. Like that's like what I end with. Like that is like my final joke because it's hitting so hard. Cool. So the syntax is big, like finding new things to say in different ways of saying it. And then also there's just like a confidence to just the more

times you get up there on a stage in front of people. Sure. Get a little more loose interacting with the crowd, you know, laughs and jokes, breathe a little bit more. And so I bet that, yeah, that's, that's gotta be the part that I appreciate about comedians more than anything is like the intangible, like, oh yeah, you have the confidence or, oh, you know how to stop for a second and just, yeah,

change up the rhythm a little bit or whatever, you know, rather than somebody that's like, here's my first joke. Okay. I made that joke. Here's my second joke. You know, like, you know, like basically looking at a piece of paper in their head, which that's how I've done it a lot of the time. I've just been so nervous because I don't have it memorized. I'm like, just go from one to the next, to the next, right. Think of doing a speech. Yeah. That makes sense. I mean, that makes sense that you have to start out that way. Like you have to have a blueprint in your head, but, and I, that is one thing I always like, I'd be terrified of just forgetting what I'm supposed to say next. Yeah. Like, okay. If you don't know, yeah, that's scary. It hasn't happened yet, but it might. Yeah. I, I wish that people could know when you're improvising. Like I wish

that people, I wish that people, lower your standards. I just came up with that. But seriously, or like be more impressed, like be more impressed. I just made that a punchline right now because I just, I was not planning on making that kind of thing. Um, I said something. So the very last show I did in West Palm, not the one that Aaron is at, but one that, Oh, shout out Caleb Hitchcock. He's left us some voicemails before he's an old canica guy that I'm friends with. Sure. He, Aaron was at the first show. He came to the second show k-life guy yes okay yeah he knows katherine yes he does okay yeah he said to say hi to you and katherine so cool hello hello hi and it was funny i told trade that i had friends in the audience but he didn't know who they were and he was like picking

on caleb and his wife emily like emily was the one he used to talk like oh we have any new moms oh gender reveal what'd you name it you, like picking on her over and over again. So that's kind of fun. That's great. Where was I? Oh, the very last show I told some joke. I don't even know what it was about. But then I got like a weird laugh from just like one woman in the audience, you know,

like a little like weird giggle. Sure. It's like, oh, this lady hit it hit home for her, especially. And then maybe think of the story. And so I was just like, I'm just going to go for it. And so I go, I'm going to go off script a little bit here. That reminds me of last time. And I just told the story and it only took like 45 or 60 seconds, but I got laughs and I was like, this is awesome. Yeah. I should say I'm going off script when I am. Yeah. Cause I think people are like, okay, right. What's he got? Oh, he's got a little,

he's got a little rogue bone in him. He's going rogue. He's rogue boning. He's our boning, our boning over here the story i probably should have mentioned this on the podcast if i hadn't but after one of the toledo shows this group of moms were having a wild you know tuesday night in toledo oh you know and oh yeah i think i did mention the people on the left that that same oh i think it might have been it could have been them i don't know who they were but yes i've talked about. There were women after the show who were really trying to like hang out. In fact, the specific offer was like, we go out for some drinks, we could smoke a bowl. What do you want to do?

I was like, you're like 46. Maybe just go see your children. How about a huge leg washing? You guys into that? That's more my thing. Yeah. So this one specific mom, I mean, legitimately like in her forties, at least she goes, where's the after party at?

You know, and I'm obviously trying to downplay this. Have I told you this? Not on the podcast. Okay. This is great. Where's the after party at? And I'm like, oh, in my hotel room. Okay.

Okay. I go, oh, no, no, no, no. Not like that. Just like with me and Alan. Oh, you were all like that. No, no, no. Not with me and Alan. No, no, no, no.

Just me, my legs. Alan and I are in different beds. All right. That's it. Sorry. I'm rogue boning up here. All right. Not like that.

Just go home. Oh, you're a rogue boner? Oh, man. So I told that story on stage. The only time I've ever done that. But I'm like, maybe I should work that in. Maybe I should incorporate that story in somehow. Did you also tell the story in the pod where you uh like got like somebody's contact

information but it looked like you're getting her phone number yeah i told that on the pod okay i don't remember ann marie yeah that was also in toledo let me get your name so i don't forget to give you a shout on the podcast meanwhile i mean just 100 people watching me dead center yeah speaking of getting numbers i got my first uh napkin number ever oh west palm wow and aaron was right there for it, which is hilarious. She loved the interaction. It was at the show? It was after the show.

When we got done, I went back and said hi to Aaron and Taylor again. Yeah. Tell them thanks for coming. And I was just kind of sitting down and chatting with them. And girl comes up. Hey, my friend wanted me to give you this. And I, you know, I went, I was our being again. And I go, oh, thank you.

I just spilled something. I need a tissue. And she goes, oh, no, no, no. That's like my friend is getting and I go, oh, thank you. I just spilled something. I need a tissue. And she goes, oh no, no, no. That's like my friend is gay. I was like, no, no, I have allergies too. I can use like blow my nose. No, no, no. My, my friend, Natalie's phone number is inside of there.

I was like, oh, okay. And she did not get that. I was being funny. I'm like, you just saw me do comedy. Was Aaron laughing? Oh yeah. They totally got what was happening. And Aaron made the comment because last episode you said that your girlfriends at high

school would like get a little weird about aaron being there right and so aaron's like sorry if you know if i was intimidating right natalie with the napkin number oh that's great i love it i love the yeah i love that idea of like just like messing with somebody like acting like you're so oh awesome we don't even have any napkins on our table oh we were just or or just like deny it like actually i got one right here i keep a hanky on me just for this reason i'm a handkerchief guy what can i say if it wasn't a pandemic i'd take it but you know i got my own handkerchief can't be too careful for whatever reason hattie knows the word handkerchief i've heard her say a couple times yeah she's like that's my handkerchief i was like when did you learn that you're three years old don't say handkerchief shirley temple whatever don't say handkerchief i uh so i didn't

text uh old nat dog that night you know i'm not not interested in this west palm honey i don't even know what she looks like i know what her friend looks like but that's it she had a down down comforter coat on yes whatever. Down comfort. Whatever. Gosh. But the next day I was like, I'm still going to be polite. I'm like, Hey, got your number from your friend. Thanks so much for coming to the show last night. I hope you had a good time. Interesting.

Nothing. Now I feel weird. You got punked. She got me good. Was it blue? Blue. I went to an iPhone. Oh gosh. I got left on read by a girl who was interested in procreating with me.

Probably. Probably. Arbonne. Right now on your iMessages, just do the question thing. You want me to question it? Yeah. See if she gets back to you now. I hate the question.

I didn't save her numbers, so let me try and find it. Isaac is one of the only people I know that gives me the question, and I do not like it. He'll be like, hey, can I borrow this tool? He's asking a favor of me, and I don't respond very quickly. Like I'm talking like 20, 30 minutes and he'll throw the question thing on there. I just feel like it's like it's just it's just too much. I just hit her with a question. That feels so weird to do. Oh, gosh.

Oh, yeah. That is kind of weird. Take it back. Remove the question. Okay. Notify him. Sorry about that. Sorry it back. Remove the question. Okay. And then it'll notify him. And then text her, sorry about that. Sorry about that.

I'm not. Paramount Plus, your eyeballs equals entertainment. Stream Paramount Plus from $6.99 a month. Oh, boy. Yeah, so that's my napkin number west palm the first show they made a little mistake and like i guess it's kind of florida too they oversold it not that it was full house it was only supposed to be half capacity and i'm like you know what let's let an extra 40 come in here so it was by far the biggest show we've done which one was this naples first west palm show the show

that aaron was at which is awesome that's the one that she sent me like yeah the video of it i was like that's a lot of people really Really? Okay. I didn't even see the video, but yeah, it was packed, dude. It just felt amazing. It was such a boost of confidence. Like for the most part, Trey and I are doing the same jokes every night, but when it's a packed house, just like everyone has more fun. If people in the back are loving it more, the people in the front are loving it more. Trey and I are loving it more. Totally. It just makes you feel so much funnier when you have more people in the audience and as an audience member i think you get more confidence to be loud and to be a little bit more rambunctious like if exactly if you're one of

yeah 15 20 people or 30 people yeah live stream yeah you laugh and no one else laughs it's like who's this guy like whatever you know oh that's totally that's how sporting events are that's why it's so fun to go to like a sold out Arrowhead stadium. Chiefs game. Kansas city is so wonderful because we have Arrowhead stadium and Al field house that are like literally always bumping and packed and known for how like, yeah.

Routing known for how great. Yeah. And how awesome they are. I, I feel so bad when I watch like dolphins games. Yeah. And there's like some guy like, you know,

way up high in the upper deck by himself, which is like with his shirt off, just like hanging out, like just casually watching an NFL game. I'm like, that's not what the NFL is. He's not yelling defense. No.

Or clapping or doing anything. He's not doing any of that. So, uh, that's awesome though. I love the, it was awesome. I love that.

I'm just in such a better space than I was a week ago. Right. Cause I came back from that Nashville show being like, geez, right. Maybe I should just, I don't know. Maybe it's time to take that LSAT test.

Finally. Maybe let's see what that's all about. And now I'm like, dude, I'm ready to like, I think I could definitely be a comedian. Yeah. Clean comic, work corporate gigs, churches. Right. Sure, I could do this forever.

Yeah, I feel good now. Good, dude. So. Good. That was fun. I'm excited for you. One thing that hopefully, you know, yeah, someday I'm just going to keep talking about it.

We get to go on tour. I want you to be able to meet some of these other comedians we are meeting on the road. Oh my joe deuce was the man that needs to be a patreon like uh series it's just like interviewing you know that's not a bad idea dude they're characters and not necessarily in like a good way like we were talking between me and trey now like our power rankings of like all these comics you know we made a new one in every city and it's interesting like it's starting to become like, we made a new one in every city and it's interesting. Like it's starting to become like, Oh, we see a trend.

And like most comedians are just, uh, it's very interesting people. Yeah. They only, and I'm, you got some, uh,

stereotype that I think of, are they kind of sloppy? I don't live with them. I don't know. Just in their, their dress, their, their,

their appearance. Like they don't seem like the kind of guys that get their haircut very often. And like, like maybe they don't, they're not a big leg washers. I did not get that vibe. Okay. I mean, most of the guys that I'm talking about aren't that big yet. They have full-time jobs. Okay.

So they're not that sloppy yet. Okay. Maybe once they someday they'll get there. They'll go sloppy, sloppy later. Yeah. They'll stop getting haircuts. Sloppy seniors. But one thing they do and

this is starting to become a trend and a stereotype is only interested in talking comedy like you know we there's a couple comedians that i like to ask them where they're from maybe we could talk sports a little bit and they'll talk sports for a little bit and then like that reminds me one of my comedians had the funniest like joke about being a bingles fan or whatever it's like is this the only thing you can talk about huh it's weird. And it's a little like, a little sad, maybe. I just like, I think comedy is the only thing that like fuels them in life. There was one comic we worked with who every time he came in the room, he would like have a thing prepared for us.

Okay. Saw this guy on the audience. I couldn't see what his face was looking like, but he was giving me angry eyes like this. Isn't that funny? He just gave me angry eyes. It's a good time. You know, it's like, he's just doing a thing. It's always on. Yeah. It's like, dude, dude you can just we got a space on the couch you can

just come kick it with us if you want like you don't have to come perform for us it's like exhausting uh yeah yeah is it i wonder my only thought like pushing back on that is like maybe they don't get a talk comedy in their normal life you know they're they're at their office job they're not they're not coming and making these jokes you know and so it, hey, this guy's kind of cut from the same cloth as me, which doesn't sound like you really are. But they might think you are. I don't know. I just think about that with woodworking stuff.

Not that I really try to talk to woodworkers about many other things whenever I'm at the guild. But yeah, I always just think like, I can't talk to Catherine about this stuff. Jake doesn't want to talk to me about Chamfer versus Roundover. I don't. Right? Or maybe you do.

I don't. Okay. Yeah, so it's like, maybe this is my opportunity. But for the most part, it just sounds like they're just sad people. I'm just kidding. No, and I'm probably being a little too generalistic,

but that's been our experience a lot of the time. It's just interesting. Interesting. It'd be interesting it's interesting. Interesting. It'd be interesting to be like the local guy that just gets hired. Like maybe you should look into that. Like, like how do you get hired? Just like,

you know, on a one, one off basis kind of thing for stuff like that. Yeah. I think if I make connections with the Casey improv or something and they need like a feature and they need like a clean comic or something, that'd be cool. It could be their guy.

I'm fighting with Brad Ellis, Bradad uno you know that guy's not clean he's not clean i don't i don't think so okay um were these guys pretty clean for the most part yeah it's that's another funny thing too like the comic is clean and then there's like appropriate you know like yes yeah some of them have trouble knowing what we're talking about when we ask for clean stuff the comic and toledo was just dropping all sorts of bombs and then you know after the first show he's like anything want me to switch up yeah yeah okay and trey's like well you know you speak super nice about like if you wouldn't mind like we do prefer to be like a clean you know uh set clean show tonight and uh you know i think it's going to help you out if you are clean that's what people are probably expecting yeah and the guys

like I mean was there anything wrong with what I did last time you know and I was in the audience so I spoke up and I was like well yeah like you said this this yeah this this and a few times he's like I mean there was no f-bombs it's like okay okay that's your standard yeah it's PG 13 you know and then he so we like we feel like we make it so clear to him. And then he gets back up there and then dude, like first 10 seconds. It's just like, it was so funny. Like, all right, Toledo, how we doing?

This son of a bitch knows what I'm talking about. It's just like, dude, we just told, we just went over this. He was like a bad kid in class. He's like, dude, I just told you not to. He says it and he looks right at Trey. This mother, you know whatever so yeah that was interesting so we still joke about that we're just like oh i won't say his name but that dude just let it fly oh that's awesome a couple other stories from the tour yeah this one is specifically i think you will love it was

not that funny but i think you'll get a kick out of this. You know, I'm asking a couple in the front row. All right. So what's your guys' story? Who do we have here? Okay. Don and Sheila. Awesome. You guys married. What's what's going on? Yeah, we're married. Awesome. What's a, whoa, 25 years of marriage. Great. What's your secret? And the guy goes, tremendous patience. And I was like, oh, that's a good answer. And so I tried, you know, what you're supposed to do is repeat the answer into the microphone so that everyone can hear. Sure. Very good.

I said this. Tremendous patience. Oh, gosh. I just couldn't. Not on purpose. Not on purpose. Go 25 years. Wow.

Tremendous patience. And I go, whoops. But like no one really laughed. Like no one thought it was funny that I just screwed up the words. So I was like, dang it. Is it near the beginning of your routine? It that's beginning of like my second time out there okay yeah oh but yeah they at least know your personality by the second time maybe oh that's funny oh yeah it was pretty embarrassing once they didn't laugh at my blunder oh that oh yeah

you gotta lean into it is that yeah that's one of those things where it's like should i try a little bit longer to make this funny or do i just is it not funny yeah like like oh sorry thanks for being patient with me guys but if they if they don't laugh at that then you're really in trouble come on guys no no he's like this ingress yeah so that was a funny thing that happened in naples the i think i kind of texted you about it i was like naples for most part has been. It's been a program's nightmare though. Like this place is just... Oh, right. Yeah, tell me why. Yeah, what's that mean? Trying to remember what... Oh, for one, the dude, like the manager

of the club is named Captain Brian. Like, is this like a military captain? Is this just like he owns a boat? What does Captain Brian mean? So we're trying to ask around. Turns out, yeah, I think he just has a boat. Named himself Captain Brian. We got a peek of his license plate it said captain lol oh captain of comedy i don't know captain of laughing out loud yeah then our second night there we start to notice hey the uh salt and

pepper in the green room says captain brian's salt on it and then we're starting to see a captain brian over the wall like this dude just made a brand for himself. So I guess good for him, but he's in no way an actual captain. He's just like, that's my thing. I'm the Captain Brian. He was also never there. So that was the thing. We couldn't get any of the videos. Where's Captain Brian?

I get that, you know, a comedy club is not expecting to have a piano and videos. Sure. But you would think that we're asking for like a 4d holographic nasa display of saturn's rings yeah oh i don't know about that hdmi okay i've heard of that yeah i don't know i don't know where captain brian is he would maybe know hdmi yeah hdmi was bit like new like 10 years ago you know know, people know this. Yeah. So there was just a lot of issues with Naples. Only one of the three shows even got to see a video. Oh, really? The first dude, this is brutal. The first show of the second night in Naples, they think they've got the

projector figured out. Captain Brian came in this morning. We're good to go. I hate this. I hate this already so much in the middle of my second time on stage. My second five minutes projector just comes on while I'm on stage, like just bright light in my eyes. And I kind of like jerk back. I'm like, whoa. Hey, no, I kind of like playing dirt. Like I thought, thought there was a sniper in the back that like just scared me. Breaking bad style. We're good though. Okay. I'm fine. I'm just going to talk over here. And people are kind of laughing. They get it. Well, then I say a joke and it doesn't get that big a laugh. i'm like that's weird if like you

know i i feel like these are going well that only gets left that's weird i get a glimpse behind me the projector screen is down and it's showing tv behind me there's just like video going on behind me while i'm performing like the wendy williams show just on the back dude it was pbs why not pbs Why? Not PBS. Yeah. No. Of all the networks. Austin City Limits reruns. What? Dude, it was. I couldn't believe it. No one's like rushing to turn this off or to fix it.

No one's in the back. Like no one is like aware. I'm just up there on an island with PBS playing behind me. Oh man. That makes me think of like, you're like Colin Stiles on whose line. That's what I said on the stage. Literally on the stage. I go, anyone seen whose lines did anyway, I feel like I'm doing that thing where I have to describe the video behind me. And so I played into it a little bit. I was like, well, I was like, what is going on behind? Is this

Dateline? I was like, I, you know, I'm pretty new to stand up comedy. I never thought it'd be upstaged by Barbara Walters. And so like a couple of jokes were going all right. And I probably should have just kept doing jokes about the projector. Cause once I started to go back into my set, just like they're watching PBS. Yeah. They're distracted. Yeah.

Thankfully what happened is a guy in the audience. I didn't realize who he was, but he just like ripped out the courts. Yeah. I was like, thanks dude. I didn't realize he did that. He did.

Yeah. So it was great for me. But then when it comes time for Trey to show his video, he didn't plug it back in for us. Right. And I didn't know that that wasn't like a staff member who unplugged it. So there were a lot of just that was very unprofessional and not cool and just completely ruined me on stage. But it was fine. It's something that I'll always remember.

Probably the time PBS like upstaged me and I was just watching that while I'm trying to perform. I mean, if you do this long enough, you're going to have plenty of stories of like technical difficulties and like, yeah, things in the crowd that happened or something that, yeah, you have to like be quick and go past or whatever. Yeah, that reminds me too.

One last story. And then seriously, I'm done. I asked the guy in front, you know, I've started doing this pretty much every show. Find a married couple couple ask them what their secret is to marriage this guy just goes um it's like getting kind of awkward and like i don't want to make fun of him for not having an answer yeah that doesn't seem right even though it'd be funny but then he goes pass and now it's like oh my god i was like this guy just said pass in front of his wife. This guy's treating marriage like the ACT.

He's going to skip it and come back to it. It's like Stanley on the office for like Stanley. He's like, pass. I was Stanley's second choice. I'll take the kid. I'll take my wife. Second choice after pass.

Yeah. You said pass on his secret to marriage. Oh my God. I was like, dude, this guy might've been here with like his mistress or something. I don't know. It seemed awkward.

I just like, I really wanted to lay into this guy. Yeah. I mean, just pass. You can say anything. It doesn't have to be like a genuine, like, like, like you're not going to like, like write it down on a piece of, you know, pumice, you know, you're not going to like, just like have it like engraved for him.

Like you could just say, just be patient. Tremendous patience. Tremendous patience. You know, be patient. Write, write each other love notes,

like whatever. You're not going to quiz them and say how, what was that? Yeah. Maybe you would, but I don't, I mean, yeah,

prove it. Let me see your handwriting. So yeah, I just, that's so funny funny that was a new one yeah pass so i just went off on answer act jokes and everyone loved that and that's that's more thing that i'm loving just like getting more comfortable just like really going after people in the front row so it's a good time and also shout out jesse and maddie huge uh ghosties oh yeah took a picture before the show i was like you guys might want to wait what if i don't know this is gonna go well there's a good one pbs might come on again but uh they were awesome oh man jesse maddie and they have a younger sister who i guess is under

18 so she couldn't come to the show but she's an even bigger ghost runners oh really so the younger sister of jesse and maddie in naples shout out to to you specifically. Okay. Younger sister, Jesse Maddie. Younger sister, Maddie. Yeah, whatever. I'm just going back to the projector thing real fast. That fires me up. It was so bad. That is one of the most frustrating things to me is when people don't have it well prepared beforehand and stuff, especially projectors

or anytime where you're not engaging with the audience anymore. You're like, I want something to engage for you. So you're like, we have a video for you. And then there's nothing. It's like the dead space there. And that kills me. That happened. I hate that. They wouldn't play, uh, music for us going on or off. So that was always awkward or no, they played a green onions going on for me the very first time. Yeah. But then the second time, was that the one I made fun of?

Was it Naples? That was Naples. Give it up. Give it up for Jake Triplett. It's like, do you believe in him? Oh, yeah. The crowds were great. It was fun performing.

But everything about how they ran it. The actual venue was not great. I think I texted you. I was like, this is a seafood restaurant that happens to do comedy. They did not care. Captain Jack. Captain Brian. Or Kirk.

Brian. Captain Kirk. It was like, we're the ones filling the seats. You should put a little effort into what we're doing. We're making you money tonight. Sure. But they were just like, yeah, video my play. So I, all right.

That's enough of my time, everyone. Go ahead, sit back, relax, and enjoy two never-before-seen Trey Kennedy videos. Just nothing's going on. I'm like it was working working pretty good earlier it's going on now and then like i'm trying to stall they're kind of laughing right trey's like whispering something to me but i can't hear it oh that's the worst that's the worst and uh say it louder but then he says it louder and i think he's angry he's really mad at you yeah and so he was just like whispering just call me up and so i was like, you know what? You guys see plenty of videos, Trey.

Why don't you just see it in person? All right. That's tough because like, obviously the, the reason 99% of people fall in love with Trey is because they've seen his videos. And so it's like two new videos that no one's ever seen. And had they not known they were missing out on that, they wouldn't have thought anything about it. Yeah. But I was like, Hey, you hang a list in front of you.

Too bad. You don't get it. Oh man. That fires. Projectors. Projectors need of you, too bad. You don't get it. Oh, man, that fires me up. Projectors need to go away, I think. I don't like them. Let's bring back the overhead projectors. Maybe. The Elmos? With the old vis-a-vis? Vis-a-vis. Yeah. The Elmo is the name of the projector.

Tremendous projectors. And the vis-a-vis on there that never really wiped off very well when you cleaned them. No, it's like a pretty much any whiteboard. You can get most of it off, but I'm always going to see a little bit

of that old equation on the board. Right, you can still see it on there. Until the JNR does this summer sweep of the whiteboards, and then you get a fresh whiteboard in August. Summer sweep. Summer sweep. Hey, thanks for all the work you guys have done during the school year.

As you guys know, this is Summer Sweep Week. Summer Sweep Week. So let's have a good performance out there. So, yeah, Roger and his boys will be in your classrooms Thursday and Tuesday. Yeah. I know the boards are kind of dirty, but let's just chalk it up to lots of rambunctious kids. We like to have a little fun around here, guys. Never forget that.

Okay. Never forget it. Yeah, that's fun. Okay, cool. Protectors. That's it. Tremendous patience. I have something for us.

Yeah. Do you have anything? If you think of anything, we can go back. We don't have huge structure here. We have segments every once in a while. Harrison and I were hanging out on monday harrison has his day off on monday and he's like hey i'm kind of interested in learning more about woodworking so can i come be your apprentice and i was like sure uh so we did a lot of stuff together pretty much all day like he helped me

which is awesome uh but one of the things that we tested out that I think we should test out now is a new type of technology from Google. Heard of it. The search engine company that you can hum songs and it's like, it's like Shazam, but you can do it yourself with humming. Wow. So Harrison tried it. He did a pretty good job.

Harrison's pretty good singer. Harrison's got a good voice. I'm not known for my voice or my homes. Right. Uh, but I think we could, I don't know whether you can just do them off the cuff or if you want to go like find a Spotify top one hundreds songs of all time or something and just see if we can, I was thinking the segment could be using a song and I see if I can detect it before Google can. Ooh, okay. Yeah. Okay. We'll call it Google versus Brad. Google versus Brad hum game. Let's do it.

So it's on the Google app. If you guys want to play along at home, play along at home. Gosh, I can't wait to hum for you guys. And you just, I think you just say, what song is this? Or I don't think you just start humming, but you just press the microphone button. So here we go. What song is this? Oh,

it searched. What song is this? Don't do that. Google. Oh, listen to my voice. What other prompts should I do? What's this song?

Search. What's the song? Open. Search widget. Tap the mic icon and say what's this song or click the search a song button that's what i'm doing start humming for 10 to 15 seconds on google assistant it's just as simple say hey google what's this song that Well, that's... This is great. This is why you prepare the projectors beforehand. I'm so sorry. What's this song? Stop searching what's this song!

No! Stop! Find your Google search widget. Tap the mic icon and say... What song is this? Oh, search a song! Search a song! Oh, you got it!

Go, hum, it. Go, go. Go. You got to hum for 10 to 15 seconds. Jeez. This is so long. Sounds like it might be one of these. It's not one of those. Look at me.

I'm Sandra Dee. Oh, who's that? House of the Rising Sun. Who's Sandra Dee? I think... Oh, Dee. Oh, Dee. Sandra Dee, is that the...

Sandra Dulick? Yeah. Is that her name? I think it's the Grease Girl. Okay, okay, okay, okay. All right. Hopefully, we don't have all that. We had some technical difficulties, but we got it now.

Maybe we should leave it all in. That's pretty funny. We'll like double. Justin, never mind. I was going to be like making that way too complicated. Double the speed so it's not like super boring for like two minutes. Maybe just one minute. That sounds like a lot of energy.

Think about it, Justin. Think about it. Yeah, it's Friday. This comes out soon. Maybe not. Okay, let me think of my song. Did you hear what I was doing last time or should I do a new one?

I had no idea what you were doing. Perfect. I'll do that one again for now. Dynamite. Dynamite by got 28% match It was higher than that That was perfect See if you can get higher than 28%

On your match Match.com That was perfect Thanks for thinking that was perfect. Bum bum bum bum What you get 12% oh, yes, I'm a better hummer than you I got home to the dickens out of you 12% all right, we look up a new songs here I'm afraid for like to choose to wear a song and I just get 0% like I said, that's that's what we want The better the worst the better Okay

I thought you were singing a different version of the song. He's probably humming a cover. That's what he's doing. Wow. I'm going to beat you at this. This is so frustrating. 46% for Lifehouse, you and me. Okay, let me try to think of a song real quick

i should have this ready to go um i love how lifehouse was your second one off the cuff and tyo cruz i don't know what's going on i love it yeah yeah um let's see this is gonna be a really hard song do an obscure one do an obscure obscure one. Do an obscure one. Well, I'm going to do one. This isn't that obscure, but it's going to be... I'm going to have trouble. Okay. I'll make it correctly. You're going to get 100%.

You gotta unlock this. All right, let's go one more. I really want you to beat me. I'm not gonna. Let me try to find something a little more obscure. Or at least... Well, I mean, You and Me by Lifehouse is not that popular or that new of a song. Oh, it's very popular, though.

Big Daddy's not working for it. Putting the hat back on, okay. Let's see. No, I'm going to do one. You go first? Maybe it honors people who go first. I'm going to do the Ludacris verse. In Baby?

Yeah. Oh, okay. And I'll do a Ludicrous verse in Baby. I think rap. Let's try to get some rap lyrics. Like humming rap lyrics. Okay, yeah. Watch out, my outfit. This is painful. Please stop.

I wasn't able to recognize this. Yeah, of course. That was bad. Oh, that was rough. All right. Am I going again? Okay. Yeah, I think I'm going.

What is it? Oh, Ludacris. What song? It just searched what song? Who, who, who, who searched what song who who who who who who just click click the microphone and then it says uh find a song or whatever right it'll it'll say you'll see it search a song 23%! I am so good! And musically talented.

You are the king, Jake. Wow. What is happening here? What were the Vegas odds of that game beforehand, of me beating you? Oh, zero. I hope you guys bet on me and made a lot of money. Gosh darn it. Gosh.

I want someone to, I want someone, do a documentary. Find out why am I so good at humming? Why am I so much better than Brad at humming? I got to find a song. Okay. Call me maybe. I'm going to go with the choruses. I mean, I would hope.

I think that's, well, I've been going with the very beginnings of songs. Maybe that's my issues. I've been trying to. That sounds like it could be one of these. What'd you get? 90 freaking percent let's go on your feet this podcast is over i'm done i'm done for the night five percent i'm done for the night has that ever been done before okay that doesn't make me feel as good if you if you are out there and you've tried this and you get higher than 95 or just anything send us a message on, um,

That's gonna be hard to top. Good work. Glad you finished strong. That was your west palm beach right there that was my yeah i agree pinch my naples so it was fun time though with harrison he was a good guy good guy to hang out with yeah yeah we we we need to just hang out with him and record some something sometimes yeah maybe this weekend hanging with harrison just slaps different you know thank you man I'm 30 years old and I have

two kids okay Brad's been saying the phrase it slaps differently I don't know if I've I don't know if I've been saying the phrase I don't know I don't know if that's I don't know if that's fair to say giving them a hard time tonight about it go ahead go ahead oh that slaps different like those are you're combining like two like gen z whatever man whatever like that slaps and that hits different like let's just combine them okay for the record i i didn't i didn't do that on purpose but i was also being a little goofy by saying you spelled different with a lot of t's you know you're being goofy oh that sounds different that's not different uh whatever man yeah i just wanted to bring it up because i do like it let's let's hey That's a different. Whatever, man. Yeah.

I just wanted to bring it up because I do like it. No cap. Hey, that's a different cap. No cap. Cap. Cap. Brad's taking his hat on and off. Yeah.

Oh, that cap's different. That cap's different. That cap's different in the morning. I cap hard in the paint. What do you think? No? Okay. People don't really talk in the paint. What do you think? No? Okay. People don't really talk about the paint anymore.

They don't? They're not doing it. More just staining custom furniture? I think ever since, yeah, there was a decree that came about. Oh, yeah? Green New Deal. Is that what it was? Yeah, that's what it was.

It said no more going hard in the paint. Nope. Yeah. Nope. High viscosities. Something I want to talk about just real quick i got a dm says uh i'm pretty sure you've ruined my life oh i no no jokey joke oh they're just you know that's funny they're capping they're capping they're capping different

i forgot that getting my shirt wet isn't a typical phrase and I accidentally used it in a session with my client who wants to work on exercising more. I'm a mental health therapist. Oh, I mean, yeah. I mean, endorphins can be a good thing, a unique way of healing your body in different ways. And one thing I would recommend, I mean, Monday, Wednesday, Fridays, I go get my shirt wet. Maybe you should do it too. I imagine it's even less context than that where it's just like like so what do you think I should do about this issue I mean I'd get your shirt wet at least once a day I'd say 40 milligrams of Xanax and getting that getting that shirt getting that shirt wet you got to get the shirt wet you got to get that shirt wet like they're like standing by their kitchen sink like okay like lapping it on like a big like salad spoon and

hold it on the sink and like let it splash up on me yeah that seems like the best way to do it that is so funny how spoons do that right whatever it is it is so funny it's just so annoying it's like everything else is fine then all of a sudden you put the spoon the wrong angle and you you got your shirt wet those are the things in life that do do trip me up a bit yeah just like just they they do yeah they're annoying that's funny though that's that's really i love the idea of her with her client yeah and like watching her client's reaction like what excuse excuse very last show in west palm you know call the woman up to do a duet now what do you do for a living? I work on mental health. Dang it.

Yeah. Can't sing about that. Okay. You got any dogs? Yeah. That's what we asked her. She has a dog. Great.

All right. Something. Right. Like sports. Come here with someone. Yeah. That's funny. She homeschooled her kids.

So that was actually pretty, pretty good. Yeah. Trey crushed it. Yeah. Brad, you uploaded a video to patreon this week that i'm like nervous to watch the like it's like a four or five year old video of us i just know gosh dude it's gonna be cringy i haven't watched it people were complimentary of it but it is bad i don't know why you did that because it's fun it gets the people going oh it seems so i i'm not gonna

watch it i'm never gonna watch you're not gonna watch it. I'm never going to watch it. You're not going to watch it? No. Really? Yeah. It's that like, like what, what feeling will it elicit in you? Just like cringy shame. Shame? Yeah. Really? Like, dang, that's not funny. Holy cow.

That's not funny. Really? Yeah. No, I don't watch any mild stuff. Really? Yeah. You just like, you're like, that's not funny. I know.

I want to appreciate it. Oh, really? Yeah. Huh. Okay. Well, I just, I just enjoy it. I think it's just fun, especially for the fans out there. just like you're like that's not funny i know i won't appreciate it oh really yeah huh okay well i just i just enjoy it i think it's just fun especially for the fans out there like anytime you can see jake and i before we had a podcast like just it just kind of validates that we're

friends you know yeah we've been doing this a while yeah we've been having fun and trying to be funny for a long time that one though like even as we were making it i was like this isn't funny this is not one of our best like uh we did that live stream that one time that was like probably the first like ghost runners ask thing like yeah that was like when it was conceived conceived conceded conceded um that was when this yeah tremendous concessions um and that was funny even like the uh promo for that video that we did was funny i'll watch that right now would you you're telling me you would be cringy of that? I wouldn't watch it. Really? Yeah. Like if it showed up on your timeline, you'd be like, I'm not watching that. Oh, of course. Really? Every day stuff shows up on my timeline. I don't watch all the videos that I've made over the years. I don't want to see that.

No. Really? I think that's not that abnormal. Maybe. You're starting to make me think it is. I don't, I don't know. I mean, I just, I don't, maybe if it's so regular, like you're saying, like to me, I don't, I don't see very many videos that I've made. Yeah. I don't make very many videos. So anyway. Yeah. Yeah.

People said it was funny. People were very nice. If you're a patron out there, comment and tell us what you think. If you're not a patron out there, ghostrunners.com is where you can find us. All right. Let's get some voice memos, Brad. What do you think? Please.

Please. Okay. We got about 26. I'm just going to start clicking on some random ones because we haven't done much the last few weeks. Okay. Hey, this is Nathan Cellulite from the Mid-North in Germantown, Wisconsin. I'm glad you guys liked the Chiefs in the Super Bowl

music video I made. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was, but thanks for that. And by the way my last name is actually pronounced cully not cellulite but that was close so anyway i've got a couple questions so alexa talk to jake and brad oh alexa talk to jake and brad it's like the google hum thing yeah alexa hi jake from state farm and brad the ice box i wanted to know if you would ever play yabba dabba do again it was the game where brad recorded a 15 second clip naming words

in a category and jake had to try to beat it i think you should play it again also i would be curious to hear you both come up with an alliteration chain on the spot. For example, Big Bert Bliley Van's blistering breaking ball barely broke batter Barry Bonds' brown baseball bat. I want you to come up. Oh, we get it. She's done. Big, big, big Barry Bonds. So we, I remember that game we talked about. I didn't know that we named it Yabba Dabba Doo.

That sounds like something I probably would have said. That's really funny. I actually just showed Harrison that game the other day. And you just talked recently to me off the know that we named it Yabba Dabba Doo. That sounds like something I probably would have said. That's really funny. I actually just showed Harrison that game the other day. And you just talked recently to me off the pod that we should do it again. Yeah. So you and Cellulite

are on the same page. Maybe with Harrison on the bonus episode. Bonus pod, yeah. Go to strong.com and subscribe. Yeah. That'd be awesome. Yeah, that was maybe

the first quote unquote segment we ever did. First little thing we tried. And I just, that game is so funny to me not because it's a fun game but because when i struggle yeah like well just anybody like you you have 15 seconds name as many many things you can and after five seconds if you get a mental block you can't get over it i remember i mean this was uh like like once you block it's like i'm done

june it would have been june probably and you said christmas songs yes and i was like i got i got nothing we re-listened to it the other day. Like I did here. So I did. And it cracked me up again. Really? Cause I was, you dominated me on one subject. And so you were up by a lot of points. And then I said, Christmas songs. I think you got one, maybe two. And like, it just, it was awesome. You're like, I was so far out of that frame of mind. It's July, you know, whatever. Oh man, it made me laugh so hard. That's funny.

Yeah, we'll do it. That reminded me, all these club owner people, whatever you want to call them, they always ask like, all right, who is hosting tonight? Like, that's me. All right, great. What's your name? And do you have any like walk-up music you want?

I always say surprise me, but I always joke with one guy that I wanted Christmas shoes. I was like, you know, it's kind of Christmas time. I think I want a Christmas song. I want Christmas shoes. The whole thing. Four and a half minutes of Christmas shoes. Do you know about the Christmas shoes joke from this week too?

Harrison and I. Wait, what? I mean. How would I know the joke if you and Harrison. I don't know. You hang out. I don't know if you saw Harrison or whatever. No, I haven't. It's a really small joke.

First of all, that'd be hilarious. It's just, I mean, the saddest song that I know about. It's so emotional. It's, yeah. If you guys want to cry, if you need to cry this week, listen to Christmas Shoes in your car as you're driving home and the snow is falling. I talked about it yesterday in that live, that impromptu live stream. Dude.

Somebody asked like least favorite Christmas song. I was like, I feel like I'm a bad person for saying this, but Christmas Shoes is not something you ever want to listen to. See, I'll listen to it once a season. Maybe. Yeah. But it comes on right... I said Santa Baby was my first one.

I hate that song. Santa Baby. But you go from that song, something that I really do need, a deed to a platinum mind. Sir, I want to buy these shoes. It's like, why is that song in the mix? You know what I mean? Like maybe, maybe like Christmas Eve service with Mary, did you know, you know, in between Mary, did you know, Oh, Holy night. Sure. I want to buy these shoes for my mom, please. But, but not in between rocking around the Christmas tree and say the baby. No, that's grandma got

right over by a reindeer. And then it was like, just Christmas Eve in these shoes. And it was like, it's just Christmas Eve in the shoot. And it's like, no, that's weird. That's weird. So, uh, anyway, I, we talked about this. I talked about this with Harrison a little bit and cause I think it was on the radio. And, uh, I was like, for whatever reason, Gunner loves Christmas shoes. Gunner, let's listen to Christmas shoes sometime. He was like, he'll get it in his head and he'll sing it all the time. And so Harrison's like, should we call him and just sing that song? It's like such a classic Harrison thing. So I was like, let's do it. And so we, he didn't answer. We left a message where we just literally no context, just saying the course of that song and then hung up. That's a great thing to start doing to your friends.

Yeah. Just singing them a song and that's it. And the voicemail. Yeah. So someone sent me a text just like an hour or two ago and it said, you should do this. And it was like a Tik TOK video. And it was kind of funny, funnier than most of the times when people were like, you should make this video. Obviously I'm not just going to recreate their video, but it was this guy called his friend, his friend answered and he just treated it like a voicemail. I was like, hello. He's like, you pause a little bit you know to add to the effect hey man it's uh shane here just calling to check in want to see if you want to do anything this weekend uh i'm pretty free so just call me back let me know and then his friend was like dude i'm here dude what are you saying

what and so then he hangs up and then his friend calls him back and he treats it as if it's his outgoing so his dude's like yo shane what in the world was that that him back and he treats it as if it's his outgoing so his dude's like yo shane what in the world was that that was weird and he goes you have reached the voicemail box of shane whatever please leave a message after the beep he's like so then he like leaves a voicemail he's like hey dude just tried to call uh oh wow you just called me it was weird i don't think you knew it wasn't a voicemail but whatever call me back so then he just like calls him back again he's like dude shane what are you doing hey man looks like we're playing a little phone tag uh no that'd be funny i would enjoy watching that i would enjoy you watching you do that to katherine honestly i

think she would she would be confused enough where she would be like i don't get like she would not realize it's a joke for a while i laugh so hard i like looks like we're playing a little phone tag like his friend is just like, dude, what the, yeah, what are you doing? It'd be even better if we did it because I could be on the other, like in videotaping Catherine's reaction to it. You know, that's funny.

That's great. Okay. We got to do a line of alliteration. He said, okay, give, I'll give you a letter. You give me a letter.

You're going to go with L's. Linda likes lassoing little llamas literally lousing that's it not bad okay you gotta you don't don't go with verbs at the beginning or else you're you're struggling you're gonna be struggling at the end um you got you got p's perry's a platypus. Putt. Okay, I've got another one. I was going to say butt with a P. D. Donnie Darko doesn't drive daily.

Donnie Darko dunking donuts. Nice. That was wonderful. That was a weird game. Okay, next voice memo. This one is from my friend Morgan. She's a Chiefs cheerleader. This is our first voice memo from a Chiefs cheerleader, I think.

That we know of. That we know of. Is she married to a Heisman winner? Please identify yourself as one. Yeah, please do that. Hi, Jake and Brad. It's Morgan. Just wanted to know if you were on the sidelines of the Chiefs game,

what is one thing you would say to the players? Love your podcast. Listen every week. Can't wait to hear what you have to say to Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes. LOL. Okay. Bye. LOL.

Verbal meme. LOL. So she's looking for material to use next season, probably. Oh, yes. When they're allowed back on the field. What would you say to them if you were a cheerleader? I would probably just make up football terms and try to coach them up. This was similar to what my idea was, too.

Yeah, I was going to make up actual words. But let's hear yours first. Oh, I'd just be like, hey, they're covering 19 wide on the outer flex. So you're going to go weak side pivot and just straight to the post.

Okay. Okay, man. Got it. Patrick Mahomes runs out of bound. Hey, man, before I get back in there, Donnie Darko drives Dunk Donuts. Donnie Darko drives Dunkin' Donuts. All right? Hey, Donnie Darko drives Dunkin' Donuts on three. One, two, three. Donnie Darko drives Dunkin' Donuts.

I was going to say, just, you are very consistent. Every time a player comes over to you, you speak to them, but in gibberish. And you want to become like a talking point among the players. Is there one cheerleader who just like talks to you but you can't understand her at all? You don't get it. Someone comes over. Oh,

second bike, I took a sorkin. What? Wait, wait, wait. Second bike, I took a sorkin. So you wouldn't even like somewhat have any

semblance of words. No, just gibberish the whole time. Just like a different language. Say the, say the god of it. See, I think it'd be more.

Travis, Travis. Yeah, like you could, you could still like say their name. Like, no, I think it'd be great if you just like. Like I got a big symptom? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you could still like say their name. Like, no, I think it'd be great if you just like, kind of like Minion style.

Like, like it's like. Oh, I hate Minion talk. Do you? Drives me up the wall. How often do you experience it? Quarterly. Quarterly, biannually. You're like, hey, you just need to house the place

and then the go for it nice. Okay. That's not minion talk. I know. I was saying, like, just, like, not quite coherent, but, like, a little bit to the point where it's like, what did he say? I want to hear what they were saying. Hey, just run a puzzle and have no brains on it. Touchdown.

And then you'd find a Taz. Find a Taz. No, no, no. Go deep and just find a Taz. He's rightaz. No, no, no. Go deep and just find Taz. He's right there. And then you'll be saved. And then you'll be just... And then you'll be saved.

Just... Tyreek. Tyreek. Come here. Come here. Run about the guts of Gordson. Run about the guts of Down. And you'll be saved.

Touch up my Toms. Touch my Toms right there. It'll go this. And then it'll go Tumbass. And it is... Whoa. Watch my hand. Come on, Tana. Us and Down,'ll go thumb back, and then this. Whoa. Watch my hand. Come on, town.

Us down, is it? Going arounds at times. Hit the pylon. Going to the up nice. You do the plea pickers. Plea picker. Plea picker back. Plea picker back.

This, and then touch toes. Touch toes. What's it say to that? What's that? What is that? Do you like that? Do you like that? Okay.

Stuck my foot in a sack That's what we would say to the Chiefs players Good question Morgan Cheerleaders surely don't ever talk to the players You don't think so? You don't think they give them their number in a napkin or anything? Maybe Maybe

Those napkins are just holding Let's see if Natalie ever No You questioned Yeah the message Hey this is Jake Triplett Yep Nothing

Oh man I feel so dumb Okay Remove it tomorrow Yeah Never mind Forget it This is Jake Triplett. Yep. Nothing. Oh, man. I feel so dumb. Okay. Remove it tomorrow. Never mind. Forget it. Forget it.

You're just like, what's her name? Natasha Cameron Cameron. You're right. Candace Cameron's daughter. Yeah, yeah. Kirk Cameron's niece. No. It is. No.

Yes. That's Kirk Cameron's niece. Hey, Jake and Brad. no it is no yes that's correct time is nice hey jake and brad jeff from kentucky here uh i was listening to this past week's episode and you were asking about people from hawaii and if they ever feel like they have to get out of hawaii and i couldn't help but wonder, have you even seen Moana? Because that's kind of the whole entire premise of Moana, is a girl trying to get out of Hawaii. Anyway, maybe I'm wrong. It's been a long time since I've seen Moana.

He's like, that enough. It's been a long time. It's like three years old. That would be it. Anyway, that movie just came out. I should leave a question for you. When was the last time I saw Moana? You know, we just came out to leave a question for you. So when the last time I saw Moana,

you know, I just turned 30 and I know that our metabolism starts to slow down over time. So here's a question. If you could choose

any snack, sure, to eat forever. Sure. You wouldn't have to gain any weight from it. What would that snack be?

Really? All right. That's it. Bye bye. Easy. Okay. Easy. Donuts make me go nuts.

Okay. Yeah. Love don'ts. Ice cream. Specifically, if I had to choose milkshake. Okay. Yeah. I had a 7-Eleven donut last week.

It was very bad. Donuts are so easy to be good. I thought you were going to say good and I was going to be very surprised. No, like I'll even throw down like a quick trip donut at midnight. Like that thing is at the end of its shelf life and it's still not bad. We talking hard or what? Like what was wrong with it? It just did not.

Yeah, it was just like so didn't slap, didn't slap. It's not the same. It did not slap different. And I even heated it up in the microwave and it still didn't get like softer. It was still just like a bad donut. Like the chocolate on top stayed shelly. You know, it came up like in pieces. Right.

It was flaky kind of. And here's the thing. I still ate both of them. It was like such a bad donut. But it's still sugar. It's still chocolate. I still ate both of them. So, yeah, if I could have donuts be healthy for me, I'd throw down hard on those.

I don't know exactly the right time, but Quick Trip restocks their donuts late at night. It depends, because I've been there. Yeah, I'm sure it's not the exact time every night. Because I would love to get in that habit. I was at Quick Trip yesterday. Was that yesterday? Gosh, whatever it was. Late night.

Was that yesterday? I was there at like 3 in the morning. I was like, I got to take a break real quick. I've been inhaling all these fumes. Yeah? Yeah. It was stocked. I got taquitos. Dude, speaking of They had, it was stocked. Oh, I got

taquitos, but dude, speaking of quick trip soon, it will be our quick trip. Yes. Come on. Come on. Come on. Tell me about it. Let's talk about it because, because I wasn't going to bring it up honestly, because I was like, I heard there's rumors that maybe you won't be able to do it or whatever. And so I think we're good. Okay. Good. We found a house. Me, Isaac Harrison. It's not proper grammar i apologize guys harrison isaac and i found a house sign oh that's what we're talking about never mind i thought we were talking about your you and me's trip road trip oh that is so that is that is misleading i get what you're calling it a quick trip though dang i just meant yeah like it will be our quick trip

like we will both that'll be the closest one to both of us. The whole announcement is that Brad and I are going to live close by to each other. Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! That was what I was going to say. We're going to go from, what, 21 minutes apart to? 22. Okay, I was close.

20-ish to 7. Yeah, it's nice. Oh, it's nice. And, like, the... A quick, an easy 7. It is. Shut up. It is. You get so excited excited every time you don't realize i'm joking like yes it is jake how long does it take you to get to my house at 5 30 i don't know if i've done that but it's probably it's probably a little different

it hits a little different the traffic's a little different there's going to be no difference in time no matter what time of day it is from our houses. Where do we go? Shawnee Mission Parkway? No, we're going 55th Street all the way down. 55th Street, Mary... Let's just tell people where we live.

You're right. You're right. It's just those stoplights on 55th. Yeah. Between both of our houses. Come find us, guys. Figure it out. Sign a 12-month lease.

I'll be there for a while. Yeah, dude. It's going to be awesome. It's going to be awesome. There's going to be no traffic that's going to stop us. Okay find us guys. Figure it out. Sign a 12 month lease. I'll be there for a while. Yeah, dude, it's going to be awesome. Like there's going to be no traffic. That's going to stop us. Okay. I see what you're saying.

You know, that's easy drive. And I've never lived this close to a highway before. I'm just getting closer and closer on where I live now, but seriously, you were going to, it's a great location. Like K-Life house and this house I'm in now,

very far from the highway. I didn't realize how annoying it is until now. I'm like, Oh, I'm going to be so close. You're going to be able to drive to our basketball games that we have one more time that you're gonna not live there uh but you're gonna be able to drive there in seven minutes i bet oh it's gonna be so i guess house trace cut in half already looked it up yes goes from 22 to 11 because trey lives on the corner of yeah i uh

11 minutes that's awesome yeah it's great you get anywhere so fast now so that's exciting we will be uh moving the podcast studio there i guess i don't know how we're gonna do that we'll figure it out let's come we might we might reconstruct yeah i think so or we can we can also redo this pretty easily too i saw something you recorded a few episodes in here with trey um and somebody was like oh so this is what like people were commenting about the background and stuff and i think it was caleb, loyal Caleb Lee. Great commenter. Said something like, I could recognize those blue plywood walls anywhere.

And I was like, why'd you have to use the word plywood? Okay. That just was kind of like degrading to me. We know that they're like OSB, like cheap plywood. Okay. We didn't have much money. We still don't. Go to our social media page.

Maybe we can get some nicer plywood for the next studio, though. I think we will. I think we can get nicer plywood. We go like this kind that's smooth, and so it looks like a regular wall. Smooth ply. Oh, it slaps different. Smooth ply. Smooth ply.

Yeah. I think I might... No. Yeah. I was going to surprise you, but it's too late now. I think I might do a little CNC sign, Ghostrunners podcast. Oh! Yeah.

It's going to be hot. No cap? No cap. I hated that coming out of my mouth jeez you'd rather watch an old video of mine okay dude that's exciting we're gonna have a lot more space to like we made this studio a little small we a little tight it's adequate but it's a little tight we wanted it to be small right for like the sound a little bit but yeah when you get the table and the lights we have a little more space yeah we should make this we should make it at least like yeah two to four feet in every direction it's gonna be great it's gonna be awesome yeah so new studio new house uh

the road trip they're going on is probably not gonna happen anymore because my move-in date right is when i kind of did that calculation that i knew that trey might not be doing his thing anymore or whatever yeah anyway. Anyway, that's fine. I don't care. Honestly, I am looking forward to not working super hard after I work for like, whatever, 20 days straight.

Yeah, it's been a big November. So let's just chill. Dude, we can chill together a lot that week. That'd be fun. I can't wait. In the new studio. That's what's so great

about a seven, eight minute drive is that we can hang out for like 45 minutes. Yes. Right now it's like 45 minutes. It's like that. That's the length. That's the's so great about a seven, eight minute drive is that we can hang out for like 45 minutes. Yes. Right now it's like 45 minutes. It's like that. That's the length. That's the travel time.

So yeah. Oh, I'm going to have a nice little. Have you seen the house? Have you seen any pictures of it or whatever? Not. Yes, but not of the garage or basement. There is in our kitchen. There is a very wide open space that makes you think there should be an appliance there.

And Isaac and I are counting. Everyone. Everyone is like commented about this. Everyone is in catherine i both independently oh you saw it yeah i did see that picture oh okay gotcha yeah and isaac and i you know pretty ignorant when it comes to all this house stuff so we're like all right fridge oven dishwasher that's accounted for like am i am i forgetting something you don't have the washer dryer no no that's not that's not okay that's not a kitchen. Okay. Let's hope not. Yeah. And so I was like, dude, just have a massive coffee bar there.

It's gonna be awesome. Seven minutes away from you. Wait, no, this is not what I'm thinking of. I was thinking of the, so we're going on a quick trip. That sounds awesome.

Massive coffee bar. Yeah. I think you should do it. I would love that. Wide open spaces. I was talking about, and maybe it's the same thing you're talking about. Your pantry doesn't have doors on it. Your pantry doesn't have doors on it.

Pantry doesn't have doors on it. And it looks like it definitely should have doors on it. And they just like, it's not like an open pantry. It's like open shelving. It's just like, why are there no doors on that? It seems like you ripped off the doors.

Yeah. It's like, yeah, this house, like it looks like they kind of flipped the house. Like it's like a nicer updated house. And it was like, eh,

we're close enough. I think somebody, I think somebody will pay for, for this house. We don't need to put doors on there yeah so i have to ask about that but anyway fun exciting stuff new studio and new house and seven minutes away from brad quick trip i don't envy isaac for having to move all this stuff yeah we were talking about that today i think he's gonna probably get a u-haul and yeah you gotta he'll figure it out he'll figure it out. He'll figure it out. OK, let's let's end it there. OK, I mean, somewhat end it there.

Let's next go to our reviews of the week. Thank you guys for all the five star reviews. Jingle. No, I know. I know this time. Good for you. Yeah, we got we've got a roll the last four. Here's the four weeks in a row.

No. She said the title of this review is Will the Real Karen M Please Stand Up? Fellas, this is the real Karen M leaving you a five star review. I've left you two voice memos, one about snow cones and the other about bagging your dough.

Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for coming, guys. Please welcome to the stage now, Jake Triplett. What's up? It's Jake Goof hey good job Brad can I say something

really quick it made me think of it and I won't probably have an opportunity to say this again of course the clean guitar in this song

at the very end like the if you ever listen to Jingle Bell Rock this is like a mediocre video that I think would be I think it could be funny

but I don't know if it would really like be funny enough to actually make you know how they do like the SNL Bruce Dickinson thing. Yes. Where it's like Bruce Dickinson, the cowbell. Yeah. And like, you don't really notice the cowbell until you listen to that.

And then you're like, uh, the electric guitar and jingle bell rock is like, so my newt. Oh yeah. You've mentioned this to me before. And I, I love the idea of like, like having like a video where you have like the studio, like all these people, like this song is pretty good, but it doesn't quite slap different enough. And this guy walks in, he's like, he's like, we got a ringer. We got a ringer here.

Who'd you get? We got Brad Deuce or whatever. I don't know. Brad Deuce. Wait, the guitarist? The guitarist, the electric guitarist. And cause like literally- Wait, does this song have a guitar in it?

Not enough. No, probably not now. Probably, probably just a little something you know but watch this and then like literally listen to jingle bell rock sometime and oh we're doing right now okay let me let me i'll just pretend like i'm the guitarist let me first of all get a little like slash like like like get a little you know ego to how early into the song does happen i want to i want people on youtube to be able to see it and not get copyright strikes so we gotta do this fast. You know what I'm saying? Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.

It happens in the first chorus, but the very beginning of the song also has a guitar riff, but that part's actually pretty good. It's literally just like a pop of electric guitar. I just love the idea of this guy up there. That's what we needed. Okay, okay. You ready? Yeah. Let's see if we needed. Okay. Okay. Ready? Yeah. Let's see if we can get it.

Yeah. Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock. Jingle bell time and jingle bell time. And that guy's just like, that guy's just like super hardcore. Like, dude, like, like he looks looks like he's from a metal band. He comes straight from Metallica. What do you think? What do you think of that?

Not bad, huh? Or maybe I imagine Prince, a Prince-looking guy. I don't know. Whoever it is, I think it'd be hilarious. A funny SNL skit. If you're out there and you're an SNL writer, feel free to steal it. He's actually just on tour in Metallica doing something pretty similar to that. What do you think?

Yeah. It's pretty good, huh? Yeah. Just ripping a cig. Only you, man. Yeah. Wow. Wow.

Can't believe I'm in the studio with you. That's awesome. Wow. Anyway, but like- Show it to me one more time. It has begun. Jingle bell, jingle jingle bell jingle bell rock the leg kick yeah oh that's good stuff that's a good good ending to the pod that's funny i hope

this should teach you to stick around yeah right there's goodies in the end goodies in the end and hey shout out to you brad uh record the pod on two hours sleep two hours sleep man healthy grind yeah you're doing it yeah i'm getting a little unhealthy here i need 12 30 a.m right now so and i got such a big order that i have to do tomorrow and sunday too so geez yeah i'm gonna sleep till 8 30 i think is my guess wow that's not much that's that's enough i think.
