Starting point is 00:04:04 That's a fun way to start it. Tell them our strategy for this recording of this. So the strategy is never practice beforehand and go for it. Yeah. Just go for it. Is that what you meant? Oh, no. You mentioned like this song can get really repetitive and really long, so just we got
Starting point is 00:04:21 to go as fast as we can. So I was like, okay, let's try to go fast. So I think we did it. Hopefully that was somewhat entertaining. Hopefully that's what we shoot for here. Shout out to, yeah, somewhat entertaining. I think that should be our like whole description of the podcast. Somewhat entertaining. Ghostrunners. It's not about ghosts, but it's somewhat entertaining. It's somewhat like Seinfeld, but a little less Jewish and a little less entertaining, but somewhat entertaining. But somewhat still still definitely some.
Starting point is 00:04:45 We did it. Okay. So this episode is going to be fun and kind of different. The, uh, we're still going to give you guys a little bit of a normal episode updates on our week and whatnot, but the, uh, second and third trimester, if you will, of this. So trying to do that more, I've been trimestering to do that more. It has, or this, yeah. Second, third trimester up the courage to do that more. Yeah. I've always wanted to trim yeah, second or third trimester. Trying to muster up the courage to do that more.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Yeah. I've always wanted to trimester on my hot dogs. Oh, yeah. I've always just gotten ketchup. So you already, Clue, you already thought it was Miss Scarlet? I would try Curlmuster. Trimester. Dang it.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Hey, we need to get the enemy out of the barracks. Oh, yeah. We could trimester gas. Oh, that's a good idea. Mustergas gets it right out of the barracks. We got to get him out of there somehow. I think so. gas. Oh, that's a good idea. Mustard gas gets it right out of the barracks. We got to get out of there somehow. I think so. That's it.
Starting point is 00:05:29 That's it. I'm good. I'm dry. I'm dry mustard. Turn it off. I'm dry. Okay. So what am I talking about?
Starting point is 00:05:37 Trimester. Trimester. Oh, yes. Second and third. I'm pregnant. We are going to do a recap of 2020 Ghostrunners episodes. Yeah. I don't need to explain it. I think that makes sense a recap is so key best 2020 and a recap to recap everything no cap
Starting point is 00:05:54 no cap and hundred dollars to sell a dog no cap doesn't have a cap on them okay this episode's gonna slap different you guys okay just get ready for it. But before we get to that, we have to do the first trimester. So Brad, how was your week? It's been a good week. I went to Texas this week and celebrated Christmas. Christmas came early. Oh, that's kind of crazy. That's, it's, I feel like so much time has passed.
Starting point is 00:06:17 That's crazy. You've been to Texas and back since last episode. Good for you. It's kind of crazy. Yeah. That's crazy. You're so zany. I'm so zany and wacky.
Starting point is 00:06:24 And man, it was great. Yeah. It was a good time. It Yeah. That's crazy. You're so zany. I'm so zany and wacky and man, it was great. Um, yeah, it was, it was a good time. It was with Catherine's family. So every other year we do Christmas vacation or Christmas Thanksgiving, you know, at the different houses. And so this year we have Christmas here. So we went a week or a weekend early and it was fun. Um, pretty chill. Um, I'm trying to think of anything really that monumental to tell you they're just so they just chill and it's, it's great. I, I didn't sleep very much at all.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Like the last really from Thanksgiving till then, I didn't like have very good sleeping patterns at all. And so I just, Ramadan from sleep. Yeah. Is that what that means? Ramadan. I think it's Ramadan with,
Starting point is 00:06:58 uh, waking up early. Oh yeah. Great. I like that. I was trying, I was trying, I was trying to think of something. Try mustard. Ramadan. I got nothing. I was trying, I was trying, I was trying to think.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Try mustard. I got nothing. Pudding. Pudding. Uh, so I, I, I rested a lot, um, which was good. I got a lot of good R and R if you will. Oh yeah. Reading railroad. Gosh. You know what really frustrated me though? And I already talked to you about this was for like the fifth time in my life. I, you think I would learn, especially after Jake, literally you texted me, you said, Hey, like I was working late at night. One time you're like, Hey, just a friendly reminder to upload your video. Cause we always record the videos to youtube.com on our phones. And then we upload them to Google drive. Justin does the thing where he syncs up with the audio, blah, blah, blah. Um, and he's like, just a
Starting point is 00:07:42 reminder, you know, upload your video before you leave. And I was like, no problem. Great idea. Like good call. Yeah. I think the literal words I use are my man. And so I was like, great, I'll do that. And so I uploaded it right then while I was working in the shop, which shop is like half on wifi, half on data.
Starting point is 00:07:55 So maybe we see where this is going. Did not upload. And so then Jake, you texted me a couple of days later when I was in Texas. Hey, just a reminder to upload that thing. Like you're so nice about it. And I was like, okay. So I uploaded it in Catherine's family's house, but there's like, I don't know, there's probably 20 people there.
Starting point is 00:08:12 And like, I bet there's at least 30 devices on their wifi and my goodness, it was taken forever. I tried to even use somebody's like MacBook and it said 14 hours to upload. And I was like, that's too long. I can, I can. So I like did the thing where I did like in the summertime where I like went to a few coffee shops, like thinking that would help, did not help. And then I finally uploaded it at her cousin's house, like in town.
Starting point is 00:08:35 But I showed you the screenshot. It was the download speed was crazy fast. Like you could like surf the web and stuff. It's like 150 megabits per second. And the, the upload speed was literally, I think 0.8. Wasn't it less than one? It was less than one. I was like, how does that happen? You gotta be kidding me. Yeah. Um, but I got it uploaded. So thanks for watching. And if you're watching on YouTube last week, um, so beyond that, I don't think I have too many things. Hattie is just so
Starting point is 00:09:01 fun. She's at the perfect age right now. I think three years old is like the perfect Christmas age. It's a good age to put like be put in a fridge too. Good for Christmas and good for fridge. Yeah. Fridge stockings. I think that's, that's what they say. Like terrible twos and three refrigeration threes. I have a book that says, so you're going to be a dad. I'd never actually read it. Um, good. Which shows probably came from the streets school of hard knocks. That's right. School of hard knocks. I don't, I don't read. So you're going to be a dad james kobe bryant tracy mcgrady i don't need business school it's not the same thing um but i'm sure on the three-year-old page it says just put them in a fridge and celebrate christmas with them but yeah hattie's
Starting point is 00:09:37 favorite thing like her her phrase that she's been saying every time she opens a present it's just what i've always wanted. Dang, that's awesome. And it's like, that's probably not true, but I love it. She's all about superlatives right now. We listened to a song on the radio. I think it was Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. She's like, this is my favorite song. And then the Grinch will come up and be like,
Starting point is 00:09:59 this is my favorite song. It's like, awesome. She's so excited. Dang, that's cool. And then, yeah, just this past tonight, before this we went and looked at christmas lights in a few different areas or a few different places around johnson county went to this like penguin house it's like i don't want to exaggerate 200 inflatable penguins like those things you put on your lawn people were telling me about this last night and i said am i hearing are you saying penguin house yeah and they're like yeah it's just what everyone knows it by They're just inflatables covering the whole yard.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Yeah. It's like, it's like probably five minutes from where I grew up. And so I've seen the growth of the penguin house. Like it started out as probably like 15 maybe. And it was like, that's kind of crazy. Look at all these penguins. And it's like, let's go check it out. And then it was like, oh, they're like actually letting you like walk around and stuff.
Starting point is 00:10:40 And then it like grew and grew. And now it's like, like I was kind of nervous. I was going to lose Hattie in there tonight. Like it's not a very big house either there's inflatable penguins everywhere yeah in the house or in the yard in the yard yeah okay yeah what a weird thing yeah and there's always happy feet like there's a projector that always is playing happy feet that penguin movie and like usually they have candy canes thanks a lot covid you know couldn't get my peppermint on but um anyway she was loving it she thought it was was so much fun. So went there, went to a few other ones and it was really fun. So nice little night.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Yeah. Looking forward to Christmas with Hattie. It'll be fun. That's great. What about you, man? Let's see. We got a settled into the new house. Yeah. I've been in the new house for about a month now. We got, Oh, we got some new furniture, Brad. That's the wrong frame of time. Oh yeah. I liked your, your Instagram story about the store building the furniture, you. That's the wrong frame of time. Oh yeah, I liked your Instagram story about the store, building the furniture, you versus Isaac. Dude, I will seriously, I'm never going to assemble something again. I learned my lesson. I did it.
Starting point is 00:11:33 It's not fun. Oh, it sucks. It sucks. It's only $110 at Target and I just have to put it together myself. Oh, but it sucked. Yes, it sucks. Sorry, but yes it sucks sorry it stinks it's it's it stinks it's stinkies um yeah it stinks it uh would it be bad if you did it again like would it be really bad again like or i feel like assembling something like from something
Starting point is 00:12:01 like that is like so hard because you don't know what you're doing and the directions aren't very good. But if you did it again, could you do it pretty well? And pretty quickly. That's a good point. Cause probably 40% of the frustration was me realizing, Oh, this is going to take me hours. Yeah. You know, that was most of it. Yeah. It's like, I feel about like jeans versus sweatpants. I don't think sweatpants are necessarily that much more comfortable, but it's the idea of putting on jeans when I'm really cozy. It's like, Oh, I don't want to put on jeans. Those are so itchy and hard. But then once I get jeans on, I'm like, I never noticed myself being like, Oh gross. I have jeans on right now. And they are plenty comfy. Yeah. So yeah, I'd say putting a dresser together is a lot like putting on jeans. I just, I've had a business idea before
Starting point is 00:12:37 of like, I could advertise that I put together Ikea furniture. And especially if I like know the Ikea furniture, it would take me minutes minutes but people would pay me a hundred dollars or something for it like maybe that's what I'll do also because Ikea is so cheap already so it's not like paying an extra hundred dollars is really that bad of an idea you know like you now we're talking about a hundred dollar dresser you pay two hundred dollars for that but you don't have to after after your terribly frustration frustrating experience like I could do it for you. I would do that. I would buy it cheap and then pay someone to assemble it.
Starting point is 00:13:08 That's what I'll do from now on. Well, that's what Ellis Custom Creations is. Okay, I'll just buy a custom dresser, fine. Just buy it cheap and assemble. I wanna cut out in the top drawer for my pickleball paddles, okay? I want it directly customized. Inlaid in there, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Yeah, exactly the size of my paddle that I use. I like it, I like it. But the new house is great. We picked up a rug today, like big old area area rug a little bigger than we thought 12 by 13 pretty massive did you measure beforehand we did okay um but still big still big but no it's nice uh we've started that is really big uh like how close to it close to the walls is it i would say you got about two inches on each side i'm just imagining like you just measured it a few inches wrong and it's just like curling up on the wall yeah no it's this new thing the japanese are doing it we're trying it
Starting point is 00:13:54 we call it the half pipe rug you know we're just a little bit on both sides tony hawk has one so it's great i don't know bucky last night we got uh we got one vent being fully covered by the rug which i assume is just a house fire waiting to happen. Sure. I can't wait for that. Yeah. So that's really fun.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Living with Harrison has been awesome. You know, it's only been a week, but- You got some stories? Not a ton, but one kind of cool thing. Like one of our very first nights sleeping there, I think this was after the dresser night. Isaac and I were both so just like, I had a headache. I was exhausted.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I was like, this is not fun. I just, this sucks. I want to go to sleep. Did you night Isaac and I were both so just like I had a headache I was exhausted. It's not fun. I just I this sucks I want to respect Isaac and I more after that like I know they're not really they're kind of apples to oranges Excuse me for saying that but a little bit at least like okay There's definitely a level of like I guess respect with the right word and just like I don't know admiration for Isaac and I guess you're like y'all's brains are different than mine when it comes to that stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Like Isaac can just like, he didn't really need to look at the directions. Like he can just like, I'm holding this random piece in my hand that says it's got the letter K taped on it. And he's like, oh yeah, that's the back of the middle drawer or something. Like, how do you,
Starting point is 00:14:57 how can your brain like know what this is out of context? So yeah, I had a lot more respect for just like the way your mind has to think to put stuff together. I think he's more natural at that than I am for sure. He yeah, yeah. I had a lot more respect for just like the way your mind has to think to put stuff together. I think he's more natural at that than I am for sure. He's got it. Yeah. He's got it. The X factor, the wood factor. But, uh, so that night we're all going to bed kind of early more on Harrison schedule. We talk in, we're talking like 11. Oh yeah. Very early for Isaac and I, I didn't know if it was like kind of early, like roll your eyes. Like, Oh yeah. 1230 kind of thing. No, not bad.
Starting point is 00:15:26 And so we're all kind of going to bed at the same time, and Harrison's like, wait, wait, wait, everyone meet in the hall. And he said, he said, I want this to be like a sitcom. So what we're going to do is we're all going to three-way high-five. If we don't say a word, we just close our doors right afterwards.
Starting point is 00:15:42 And so we've done that three times since then. We go to bed at the same time by three-way high-fiving and closing our doors. It's awesome. That's amazing. And then one night we realized that Harrison plays Fortnite, which is kind of random for Harrison's personality. It's like, no way. Yes, you mentioned that to me and I was like, oh, it surprised me that he even plays video
Starting point is 00:15:59 games. Yeah, which I don't, I haven't played Fortnite in over a year, probably. But I was like, we got to squad up. Got to get the boys together. Is that what you say? Squad up? Sure, you can. And so before that, we all met in the hallway and fist bumped, said, let's game, and then
Starting point is 00:16:12 shut our doors. Yeah, that's when you knew it was gaming time as you fist bumped. It's different. If you high five, then it's sleepy. So there's been a lot of fun meetings in the hallway. Oh, I love that. Our bedrooms are all right next to each other. That's like so small, but so hilarious.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Yeah, it's a tip of the iceberg of what's coming in the house. I think, I think Catherine, I need to start doing that with Hattie. Maybe like, all right. Three, two, one. It's showtime. Boom. Have I ever told you the Whataburger day story? Whataburger day? Whataburger day? I don't know. Um, it wasn't actually me, but it was one of my friends that experienced this. He was in Fort Worth visiting his sister at TCU. And there was some like big NASCAR race there that day. And so there were all these, like this big family, let's say seven people in all NASCAR, like clad, like clad, NASCAR clad. That's the right word.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Completely clad in NASCAR. Okay. And that doesn't really matter in the story. It's just image for you. But they all, they all ordered, they all get their food early. They're all sitting there waiting for the food. They get it. None of them do anything.
Starting point is 00:17:11 And then like, like just a nonverbal cue. One guy stands up and just starts giving high fives and everyone else starts standing up high five at each other. And they just go, what a burger day. What a burger day. What a burger day. And then they sit down and just like feast on this water burger. And I thought it was the hilarious, like, so like ever since I heard that I, we did
Starting point is 00:17:30 at camp all the time, like we would like wait and people would be like, why are they eating? And then we'd be like Frito pie day, Frito pie. Yeah. And it was, it was so fun. So that's why I imagined like Harrison, like, like there's no, like if someone's just sitting in the living room watching you guys, like boom. And then you just turn around and go. Queen's Gambit.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Queen's Gambit. We're watching it. We're watching it. Episode two. Queen's Gambit. Exactly. So what are we going to do? One time when I was working for K-Life, there was like a K-Life men's conference for all
Starting point is 00:17:58 the men that were on staff in Kansas City. It's one of our things is like they booked like a pretty much a section in like the, uh, outfield for us all to sit. Oh, that's cool. And at a Royals game at a Royals game. Okay. Yeah. Like left field fence,
Starting point is 00:18:11 Coffman stadium. And it started with like a few of us, like myself, Matt Rau, Josh Barnard, I think started taking off our shirts and we're like, let's see. Cause obviously we're not the only people in this section.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Like we make up 19 of 250 people in the session. Yeah. And we just slowly start taking off our shirt. You know, we take ours off in like bottom of the seventh. And the next thing you know, a few more guys have taken off their shirts at like top of the eighth and like bottom of the eighth. And then like we're getting pretty close, like a lot of people. And we're not just taking them off.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Like we're telling everyone like, hey, we're going to be the section. All right. If they hit a home run ball here, like it's going to be awesome. And sure enough, Salvi hit a home run and like the bottom of the ninth, it wasn't to win. I think we were still losing, but it was just awesome. Right. They're like, we got on sports center that night with like 75% of the section, like had their shirt off. It was very easy to see where you guys were. Yeah. It was like white. Cause there was like white guys like running down the stairs to try and like get the home run ball uh so oh that's pretty funny
Starting point is 00:19:05 yeah it was like what a burger day it was just like let's all get in on this together i really like the idea of like yeah just going with like 30 dudes and like hanging out and just like hey but you have to be shirtless like no matter where we go in public you got to be shirtless got to be shirtless oh speaking of not shirtless we got some patreon gifts uh not patreon no no no uh ghost runners on second gifts yeah from from fans and one of them was uh we got they're all amazing but one of them was fit shirts with each other's face on them yeah should have brought them tonight but should have we'll get them next time uh they are loud and they are proud yes both those things big time but we've talked about already like having like
Starting point is 00:19:41 bets you know and consequences is you have to wear those shirts. You have to wear your own shirt in public, which I think would be even funnier because Jake, you know, Jake's shirt is my size. And so it would be huge on Jake and my shirt is Jake size. So it would be so tiny on me, but it would be like ridiculous. Like we're walking in public with our own shirt on. We also talked about like being like a partners in pickleball tournaments or something and just wearing those things and just being completely serious. Like, all right, let's go squad up. The Isaac wore my shirt to UPS yesterday. Really?
Starting point is 00:20:15 Yeah. Yeah. Like we're out in public. I love it. He said there was a very attractive girl behind him and who like kind of got his attention and he was like, just kind of like looking at or whatever. And then he like got a glimpse of a shirt and then he was just like he said he just like lowered his head it was just like not today like i got nothing come on i got nothing to work with oh the chicks love it with this they love me oh man there's a very attractive girl behind him and she
Starting point is 00:20:37 was like hey that's my husband boom baby of the week yeah this is a conversation that we can't really have because you have a baby of the week no i'll be week. Yeah. This is a conversation that we can't really have because you have a babe of the week. No, I'll be honest. Okay. Yeah. I, I'm a big benefit of the doubt guy. And that definitely, I see that manifest when it comes to women's attractiveness, only seeing them from the mask up. Every time I see a girl just with straightened hair, I'm like, she's probably incredibly
Starting point is 00:20:58 attractive. I can barely even make out like what her face looks like. But I'm like, dang. Yeah. Dang. She's nice. But I have no idea what her face looks like. I just like dang yeah that's dang she's nice but i have no idea what her face looks like i just assume oh yeah your hair is straight i'm trying to think
Starting point is 00:21:09 that's awesome like only specifically with katherine no other girls but i'm trying to think like uh like can you kind of tell by the eyes i think the eyes are the most attractive part of a face no no no lips proportions okay but i think you could tell proportions kind of, you don't have like tiny eyes and just like a massive nose. Do you like a Cyrano de Bergerac situation? I don't think it's the size. It's more like the distance apart and like their distance from like your, your cheeks and stuff.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Hmm. That's I'm sure that's true. I've never really analyzed. I haven't done like Oscar Hillary swank on this or anything, but really, I, yeah, I feel like you can just kind of tell, like, uh, there's some kind of, I don't know, photo or like marketing staying. I don't know what it's called. Principal. We're like, obviously like you have a piece of paper and it's like bleeding off both ends, but you can tell it's a piece of paper. Like you can imagine the thing on the top of the bottom. That's what I kind of imagined. I'm like, I could tell,
Starting point is 00:22:01 I could tell you're cute. I don't need to see your mouth. I know what it looks like. Hey, you, I think you're cute and I don't need to see your mouth. I know what it looks like. Hey, you, I think you're cute and I don't need to see your mouth. So cover it up. So put it on, huh? There was a guy, Sherwin Williams. I go to Sherwin Williams a lot and I ordered paint from him multiple times. And then one time he came up and he didn't have his mask on full beard. No idea.
Starting point is 00:22:22 So I will say there are, there are exceptions to the rule but uh overall i think i know i went to two different targets today and i feel like i saw kansas city's just riddled with models from you know just from my review from the nose up yeah from the nose up i'm like wow every single girl in here just like the most beautiful girl i've ever seen but i didn't see their mouth i mean cute girls shop at target too. They do. And they eat at Chipotle. That's true. I went to Chipotle today too.
Starting point is 00:22:48 It's a good day for me. That's a great day. Good day for me. And what were you looking for at target? Can I ask? Uh, Christmas gifts. Oh yeah. Good.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Thanks. What do you, I, uh, did like a mobile, uh, order thing. Like I ordered it so I could just go to target and pick it up. Yeah. Would not recommend. No. Oh, people rave about it. Oh, tell me me more i went there and it still said it was processing after like a couple hours so then i was like you went there before like preemptively
Starting point is 00:23:12 yeah but it said go in two hours so i go in two hours it says processing so i go to the place and i'm like hey uh do you know they're like can i see your barcode i'm like well so so it's processing is there any way to know how long this is going to be? He's like, there's really no way of knowing. And you just awesome. You just go pick it up. Yeah. The time that you communicated with him, you could have just gone and got it yourself.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Yeah. So that's what I ended up doing. Another guy. Oh, before someone talked to me, this didn't even frustrate me. It was just like, dang, like good for you, man. I guess this dude goes, have you been helped yet? And I go, no, I haven't. He goes, all right.
Starting point is 00:23:43 And then just keeps walking. Dang. That's awesome. Like he just like stunned me i was like did you lose a bet or something maybe he thought like uh i'll go get someone do you need any help and he said no i haven't or i don't i know he's like all right yeah i never had that what a flex you been helped yet no all right cool heads out good luck oh you'll figure it out this is target not walmart so that's funny yeah i don't know my aunt cindy she swears by the target grocery pickup she like has like a friendship with the guy that like loads all her groceries for her oh so yeah that's nice yeah he's a high school boy he's blah blah blah yeah he you know whatever so but she she tips him that was the one aunt cindy and aunt charlotte Aunt Charlotte, Aunt Charlotte was the one that cleaned her money before she tipped those guys.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Remember how I told you that one time? Yeah. So I started tipping my Chili's people just FYI. Good. I've started. That's good. Yeah. I,
Starting point is 00:24:36 I won a pickleball tournament this weekend, Brad. What's new? But this one was with a woman and I got, that's new. I got to see her mouth. Yeah. It was nice.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Okay. No, she has a boyfriend. That's not anything. I got to see her mouth. Yeah. It was nice. Okay. No, she has a boyfriend. That's not anything that I got to see her mouth. I got to see her mouth and I liked what I saw. I love seeing girls mouths. Oh, me too. Oh, it's awesome. Yeah. That's why I love going to restaurants. I think forget the food. You can see their mouth move. Yeah. I think that's what the veil was originally intended for on wedding day. It's like, this is your first time seeing her mouth. And it's like, whoa, what a kisser. Yeah, probably. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:07 I've been waiting. Yes. That makes sense. Yeah. But yeah, it was just a girl that I barely knew pretty much just from Instagram. And the European girl, the European girl, you play sometimes with like, there's a girl that plays pickleball. Oh, they're really good.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Well, you know what I'm talking about? I feel like they're europe maybe they're not european i just assume they are because they're kind of intimidating looking i was gonna say look there is one girl who's russian russian that's wait you would you how do you know her though i know i don't think she's been to meadowbrook no she was a meadowbrook once but how did you know she was russian i have an innate sense of this thing when she was at meadowbrook that one time we didn't know she was Russian? I have an innate sense of this thing. When she was at Meadowbrook that one time, we didn't know she was Russian yet. So like no one could have possibly told you that. You just knew? I knew. Yeah. There's a difference.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I think Isaac or Scott told you about this girl because I keep calling her the Russian princess and I feel like that would be something they would like relay on to you. It was like, yeah, that's Jake's Russian princess. Maybe or maybe I just have an innate sense. I guarantee you, like give me three girls in a row. Like you could dress them the exact same. I would tell which one is not American.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Mouth or no mouth? Give me their mouth. Yeah, I need their mouth. Give me their mouth. I need to see their mouth. And maybe I'd need like... See them walk. See them order food.
Starting point is 00:26:18 See them use chopsticks. Keep going. See them go to an outdoor water park. One more. Slow pitch softball. Yes, that's it. I need to see more go slow pitch softball yes that's it i need to see him do slow pitch softball jenny finch style yep that's it was fast pitch she was fast don't disrespect her come on you're right i was too trying to be too quick ah sorry guys
Starting point is 00:26:34 anyway um yeah i don't know is was it the russian girl how many 25 year old women listening right now had a jenny finch poster in your room at some point zero no zero my sister did and i think i think a lot she was like the uh i don't know who's a good comparison alan iverson oh no way of women you think so yeah she was that culturally like motivating to people no like yeah i've really like i i you i wore my hair in a ponytail after i saw jimmy finch where i never said i've never done that before like her hair was blonde my hair was blonde i would call it to jenny when my hair was blonde for her like the way she threw that pitch was like so different than any other like way of throwing it i don't think i think jenny's fandom is somewhere between you and i are both putting it i think it's somewhere in the middle i'm sure you're right
Starting point is 00:27:24 you're right. You're right. I don't have. Yeah. My sisters are older than me. They didn't care about Ginny Finch. Your sister was right in the Finch zone. So yeah, she made us call her Ginny for two years.
Starting point is 00:27:37 I thought it was Forrest Gump related, but it wasn't. No. What are we talking about? That's a good question. Pickleball. Yeah. It was something. Oh, the Russian princess.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Oh yeah. I played with an American. Okay. Good for you. It was for the troops. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Stimulate our economy. Yeah. Yeah. it was something. Oh, the Russian princess. Oh, yeah. I played with an American. OK, good for you. It's for the troops. Yeah. Yeah. Stimulate our economy. Yeah. Yeah. Good for you. And, you know, Scott and his wife were in it. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, I played them in the semifinal game. Stink it, Scott. Got you. And Sam. How's it feel, Scott? Yeah. And I won that. It was an ugly sweater tournament. That was fun. Oh, it's kind of funny. I'm just remembering this afterwards. I was talking to Scott and Sam. I don't know how this
Starting point is 00:28:08 got brought up, but you know, they're kind of like renovating a home or like moving into a new home. They're building a home is what you call it. Building a home. Yeah. They're renovating their own. Renovating a brand new home. They're renovating the dirt. Yeah. They're reclaiming the dirt and like digging underneath it and then putting a foundation on top of that dirt. I wish there was a word to describe, like they're renovating this land into kind of a structure that they intend on dwelling in. I don't know what to call it, but yeah, I mean, whatever you get it. And they were talking about this new couch. I think Scott was maybe saying like, we took a page out of your and Isaac's book and we decided to ball out a little bit.
Starting point is 00:28:39 We got this like velvet couch or whatever. I was like, Oh, that sounds cool. Red velvet. And Sam's like, yeah, it's an awesome couch. It's like a performance couch. And I go, hell, I don't need to know that. Whatever you have in your living room is fine. Just close the drapes, Sam, all right? Speaking of drapes, you know what? I'm not going to go there. But I don't need to know.
Starting point is 00:28:57 But I have a really big carpet, all right? My rug is pretty much just wall to wall. And the seats go all the way down. All the way down. All the way down. All the way down. She grabs her green Camry. You ever heard of a half pipe? I don't want to keep going.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Half pipe. Oh, half pipe rug. Yeah. Oh, man. I want to say so much more, but I'm going to stop. But she goes, yeah, it's a performance couch. And I'm like, oh, whoa, whoa. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Don't need to know. What does that mean? She's not really catching on. Scott's like already cracking up. And then she like doubles down. She's like, and also it's like, it's like stain resistant. I'm like, hey, I don't need to know what does that she's not really catching on scott's like already cracking up and then she like doubles down she's like and also it's like um it's like stain resistant i'm like hey i don't need to know all right i don't need to know about your couch i feel like she starts to catch on or scott's like sam what do you realize what you're saying we got a performance
Starting point is 00:29:39 couch that's stain resistant what does that mean i think performance i don't know what performance means actually like it performs well like with kids or something yeah yeah maybe it's like uh that's a weird that's a weird term for that i don't it's like yeah our couch you can put our couch in sport mode right it's really easy to move i mean it'll move like butter like yeah that's performance couch i think they explained it to me and i can't even remember it because all I can get in my head is just like you put it under pressure and it does really well. It's very sturdy. Yeah. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:30:11 So I got to move around on you. Like three, three seconds left in the game. Give that give that couch the ball like it will perform. It's pretty clutch. Yeah. So that was probably the best part of the pickleball tournament. Sure. Winning first.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Maybe with an American with a mouth. That's not bad. Not bad. But yeah, it was pretty fun. Performance coach. Performance coach. Sam. Oh, man.

Starting point is 00:34:57 There's. Yeah. I don't really understand. I know it's Seinfeld, but good for you, man. I don't, I don't watch, I don't watch that deeply in the same. Good for you, man. There's a song about... Let me preface it all by saying this is funny.
Starting point is 00:35:09 We're being goofy. Christmas shoes, whatever, blah, blah, blah. I know it's a sad song. Whatever. There's a song, and I have a heart, I promise. But there's a song about like, there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time. All the...
Starting point is 00:35:22 I don't know. You know what I'm talking about? The one that's like, I know one about rain in Africa. I don't know this one. Like, do they know it's Christmas time at all? Anyway. And so it's like, it's yeah, it's like this like really sad, like song. It's like, it makes a good point of like kids in Africa don't understand like all the materialistic aspects of Christmas. And it's like, okay, it's like a classic. They play it all the time on the radio. But literally today I listened to that song. And then literally the next song was Santa
Starting point is 00:35:49 baby, the bond. And I'm like, like this, this woman basically asking for everything in the world, like the most materialistic girl ever. It's just like back and forth. And I'm like, just choose, pick a lane here. We're going to, we're going to go for the, you know, whatever, what's the word? Like just wholesome, not wholesome, but just like the people that are like going for crusades. That's not the right word. They're going for it. They're, they're philanthropists kind of like that aspect of Christmas. Like where we're like, are we going to go fight for a cause or are we going to mobile pickup? Are we going to be really selfish here? Yeah. And just whatever.
Starting point is 00:36:26 So I don't know. I didn't like it. There's one thing I really do need. A deed to a platinum mine. That's an A-C-C. What? What did you say? A platinum mine? I need a deed to a platinum mine. So basically I just need to
Starting point is 00:36:42 own a bunch of gold. Not platinum? Well, it's platinum. What's the difference? Does platinum exist? to a platinum mine. So basically, I just need to own a bunch of gold. Not platinum? Well, it's platinum. What's the difference? Does platinum exist? Is that a thing that like we can mine from the earth? You're asking me?
Starting point is 00:36:51 I'm asking you. I don't know. I only mine wood and Bitcoin, you know, for fun. No. Bitcoin's confusing. I don't know what platinum is
Starting point is 00:37:00 to be honest. I thought it was gold. It's not gold? I don't think so. They're different? Sometimes when like... I thought platinum was like a type of gold maybe i feel like you like go on websites and it's like all right we got three packages there's bronze there's gold and there's platinum do you want to be a platinum member maybe you're right dog you're right platinum
Starting point is 00:37:17 and look up blu-ray i think it's a type of metal too blu- ray is it a platinum it's it's not on the platinum definition platinum is a precious silvery white metal the chemical element of atomic number 78 oh it's a it's an element of white chocolate oh so it's definitely not gold if if there's platinum so then it's an element what's the what's the chemical uh for gold hey you give me like that gold nice yeah what about uh you want some sodium nah what about some potassium okay i'll take it what about some uh who wants some helium he does oh nice okay i like that um oh oh what am i breathing oh
Starting point is 00:38:02 oxygen yeah that's right i like i think of other ones uh Oh! Oxygen. Yeah, that's right. I like it. I'm trying to think of other ones. No, it's got to do something dumb with Einstein-tanium. Oh, you got something weird? You got some bionic kind of leg, right?
Starting point is 00:38:24 You got some... Never mind. That's stupid. I was trying to get to neon. Oh, okay. It was bad. It was bad. I lose. I lose. Dang it. Okay. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:38:40 That's great. That's great. We could kind of somewhat conclude the mini episode here. Let's at least do a review of the week, though. Real quick. Oh, real quick. Hey, let's do a review of the week. Okay, I'm just now seeing this for the first time.
Starting point is 00:38:52 This was not showing up in the podcast app. But I think we have closure from Karen M. What? Oh, yeah, I did see that, actually. Am I reading this right? Yeah, the podcast app doesn't show any reviews that we've gotten in a long time. Yeah. You gotta go charitable.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Which is why, I'm telling you guys, even though it hurts our ranking on Apple Podcasts, I would recommend listening on Spotify. It's just a better experience. Oh, good for you. Less buggy. But you can't see the reviews on there and whatever. There's both.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Just have both. Let's do this on both. Okay, so. On YouTube and Patreon. Is ACK an acronym or she's starting with ak what do you think i think the onomatopoeia okay here's the review of the week it's from happy one two three six eight she says oh wait should we get a voice memo sure man in like this mini episode all right well i'm just gonna leave you hanging there what's up what's up jake and brad brad and jake it's Clifton Alexander, short-time listener, first-time caller.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Last episode, you guys had actually mentioned my name. We were going back and forth with some DMs, and you guys had mentioned that maybe I wasn't the type of guy who would respond with LOLs or emojis in my messages, and that maybe it was because I was around 37 years old. Yeah, baby. Turns out, I'm not 37. I'm a little bit north of that. I'm actually a little bit north of 40. Oh, goodness. I think there 37 years old. Yeah, baby. Turns out I'm not 37. I'm a little bit north of that. I'm actually a little bit north of 40. Oh, goodness. I think there's a fear that when you turn 40 that maybe you're not cool anymore.
Starting point is 00:40:12 So I started playing this game with my employees who are a bit younger than me, and we called it Cool AF, which stands for cool after 40. That's awesome. So when I do something that I might typically be reserved for the, quote, younger crowd, like a phrase or emoji or meme or anything like that, I will ask him, hey, guys, is this cool AF? So my question to you guys, what are things that you anticipate that will be will or won't be cool AF in 10 years when you hit the big four? Thanks, guys. Love listening to your podcast.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Makes me laugh every week. Love it. Clifton, man, just wanted to F you on my cool AF voice memo. Did you get it? That's fun. I love that. We should have done AF as one of our acronyms last time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Dang. We're dumb AF. Dumb after 40. Dumb after 40. That's a fun question. What are things we're going to do? I'm already just so fine with not being cool. And I think that, but maybe subconsciously, I think that because I'm fine like, like just so fine with not being cool. Like,
Starting point is 00:41:05 like, and I think that, but maybe subconsciously I think that because I'm fine not being cool, it makes me kind of cool. Like if that makes sense, that makes it like, like maybe I'm not truly fine with it, but I'm like,
Starting point is 00:41:15 yeah, I'm not going to care. And that's going to make me cool. Your confidence. Yeah. It's cool. Like, I'm like, like I got Crocs today or the other day,
Starting point is 00:41:22 yesterday. I'm very excited to wear them. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not going to like wear them to church, but today or the other day, yesterday. I'm very excited to wear them. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not going to like wear them to church, but maybe in the foyer. But if they're really, yeah. Oh yeah. In the foyer.
Starting point is 00:41:31 I'll take my dress shoes off and put the Crocs on once I leave the sanctuary. It's a Japanese church or whatever. Sure. Yeah. Trey posted something that you see on his story. Like, yeah. Yeah. White people wear Crocs and Birkenstocks.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Catherine got Birkenstocks for Christmas for her family and like no shame whatsoever. You're white people wearing crocs and birkenstocks katherine got birkenstocks for christmas for her family and like no shame whatsoever you're white people crocs and stocks um so yeah i'm i'm maybe maybe when by the time i turn 40 the cool af thing will be actually to care and i need to fix that i guess because i don't care right now my not cool af thing is going to be like not respecting any of the music 11 years from now okay like you guys are listening to this i still i already do that maybe i'm just old already you're you're cool a cool at cool cool at cool after 30 um no i think like i was thinking about that too like maybe like like af you can't you can't like new music like you can't like musicians that are 25 and younger i don't think unless it's like a like kind of obscure like grungy like emo like indie band or something like you can like neutral milk hotel and the xx
Starting point is 00:42:40 and whatever bony bear but you can't you can't be Dua Lipa fan if you're a 42-year-old dude, right? Did you say Lipa? What's her name? Dua Lipa. Lipa. That's hilarious. No, yeah. You can't be rocking Taylor Swift
Starting point is 00:42:53 as a 45-year-old guy. I don't think. Unless your daughter listens to it and you're like, secretly, you're like, yeah, let's listen to this for you. But you're liking it. Yeah, that's an interesting question. At what age
Starting point is 00:43:05 can like sean mendez not be my top artist anymore like i might be getting kind of close 39 oh okay 39 i think i think the 40 mark yeah there's there's a difference and then it stops yeah um i think i eat a lot of fast food right now i don't know if we've talked about that much but um i don't think that's gonna be cool af i think i'll i think i'll still eat plenty but not as much as i do right now yeah i hope that slows down for me yeah it's like i think i think af you really need to uh like make your own food and like know what you're doing on the grill i don't i might have to like yeah jasmine's already gonna be tough to find but like marrying a nutritionist would be awesome i think oh okay good you. Having her do just all that for me.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Way to continue to funnel though. You're funneling it down. Yeah. I need a middle Eastern nutritionist who has a good mouth. Great mouth. But you can, but a good mouth that you don't even have to have the mask off to know. Mask off.
Starting point is 00:43:59 I saw a viral tweet this week. It was like, uh, as soon as this vaccine like really hits everywhere, mask off is going to be the number one song in the world again, which is no wonder his name is future. Holy cow. Think about that.
Starting point is 00:44:11 It's a good tweet. That's a good tweet. That dude's, that dude's part of the Illuminati for sure. Yes. He's not. He'd remember, remind everyone what the Illuminati is again.
Starting point is 00:44:18 That is the, um, airport security at Denver, Denver airport, I believe. Yes. It's a group of eight, uh,
Starting point is 00:44:24 TSA members, But it's actually Jay-Z. Jay-Z is part of the... He scans you if you have metal in your pockets. Illuminazi. Yeah, Illuminazers. That sounds a little bit like Illuminazi. But the terminal is shaped as swastika, so you tell me. You tell me. I don't know, Jake. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:44:40 It's a conspiracy, huh? Tell me I'm wrong. Prove it. Prove it's wrong. Okay, Cl? Huh? Told me I'm wrong. Huh? Prove it. Prove it's wrong. Okay, Clifton. That was a fun question, though. Yeah, it's... I like thinking about AF.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Oh, I don't. Really? No. See, that stuff, like Catherine, when she turned 30, she was like, oh, I'm 30, whatever. I feel whatever. That stuff doesn't bother me for some reason. Maybe because I'm 30 now, and I don't feel any different than when I was in like college in a lot of ways.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Like I look at my, the facts of my life and I'm way different, but I still have like the same zest. Dude, I was thinking about this yesterday. I was like, well, my brain ever changed. Like my brain still feels like, so, um, like I still feel like a kid a lot of the time. I'm like, is this how adults feel all the time? Like, do they always feel this way? I think you kind of, you got to have a little bit of that forever.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Yeah.

Yeah, let us know. How old's your brain? Yeah. He's a cool dude, though.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Yeah? Yeah, he works at this really hip advertising agency. Is he black? I'm imagining him black. I'm imagining him like a black guy with thin-rimmed black glasses, and he looks like he just dresses nice. Yes. He reviews films.

Starting point is 00:47:00 so i made a fake review oh i am 11 and a half that's when you know that that's real is when you put the in a half yeah like that's real i didn't actually think you guys would read it i'm crying in the back seat of my car back seat checks out still still not quite tall enough for the front so i'm really sorry if you guys took it personally. Dead emoji, dead emoji, dead emoji. E. I actually like this podcast a lot. I'm Sawi. If it hurt your feelings.
Starting point is 00:47:30 It says Sawi. Broken heart emoji. I have no idea how reviews work, so I thought you wouldn't read it. LOL. And when I heard the name on the pod, I'm like, hee hee. That can't be me. Dot, dot, dot. Eyes emoji.
Starting point is 00:47:41 I'm dumb. Colon. Capital D. Eye emoji, lip emoji, eye emoji. Please don't hate me. So, yeah, I'm just going to D eye emoji lip emoji eye emoji please don't hate me so yeah I'm just going to spam until I see this is that real do we believe it the 11 and a half somebody's really
Starting point is 00:47:54 good at trolling I think I think that's real but the other review was like so well written right like it was like no grammatical errors nothing like that. This one has, they spelled really with three L's R L L L Y.
Starting point is 00:48:09 They said, saw we, they said, E they started with AK. I think those are all on purpose. Like the saw was on person. I know on purpose. I'm just saying like,
Starting point is 00:48:19 they don't, they don't line up. The emojis check out with what I know about Gen Z. Like what you see on Tik TOK, like the, like the eyes, lips, eyes emoji. Like that's like a big thing, but it could be someone else like knowing it's a big thing. Exactly. Just like you, like if you were to write as an 11 year old kid.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Dang it. Wow. Okay. I don't know. That's okay. The switch continues. This one's really cool. Five stars. Why not even a 10? Why not an even 10? Brad and Jake have restored my faith.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Literally having grown up in a rural town. I now pronounce it rural. Thanks Jake. There were a lot of Christians who didn't walk the walk. I distanced myself socially from my faith for years because I had a bad view of Christianity. Since listening to these guys, I've regained my faith and feel so blessed to be a part of the Ghost Runners community. The comedy is clean and the convos are not bad not bad brought to you by merging onto the highway i think that's
Starting point is 00:49:09 just like i don't know like crazy like every time we see something that's like deeper than a normal just like two guys having a conversation yeah it's like wow that's that's really cool to see people be affected i know not everyone like a lot of people are like, what? These guys are morons. Because it's goofy. Yeah. They don't know what platinum is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Exactly. Like those guys talking about platinum, like I went back to church after that. But seriously, that's so cool and I love it.
Starting point is 00:49:37 So thank you. I don't know, what's the name? Hope, Hope Tato's. Hope Potato's. Hope Potato's. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Thank you. Hope Potato's. That's fun. potatoes. Yeah. Thank you. Hope potatoes. That's fun. Okay. It's really cool. Well, would you like to end this first trimester with a jingle bread? Oh. Are we doing that?
Starting point is 00:49:55 I don't know. I don't know what we talked about. Let's not. Let's not. Let's just move on to the 2020s. Okay. Low key. And at the very end of that, there's a jingle?
Starting point is 00:50:03 I think we just do jingles, like best of jingles. So no jingle this week? I have no jingle. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Low key. And at the very end of that, there's a jingle. I think we just do jingles like best of jingles. So no jingle this week. I have no jingle. Okay. No more sports. Okay. Edit. Now we're back.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Justin. Okay. Well, that concludes the first trimester of this episode. It was about 20 minutes longer than I thought it was going to be, which is our life. That's pretty on brand. So,
Starting point is 00:50:21 uh, from here we will get to the best of the Ghostrunners in 2020. You know what phrase I'd be okay with never hearing again? You're fired. Close. Apples to oranges. You hear that when people like recently asked someone so how's working from home compared to working in the office oh i can't even really compare them it's just apples to oranges you don't
Starting point is 00:50:49 like that i'm gonna be honest i use that all the time oh no why it doesn't even make sense they're both fruit you can easily compare fruit okay when do you say i i think it's like, I'm trying to think. I'm already hot. I'm rolling with sleeves 20 seconds in. Thunderdome, baby. Episode 56. I don't know if I use the phrase apples to oranges, but I say, well, yeah, maybe I do. I just say it's not apples to apples, which is basically the same thing. I just, I use that all the time. Like I love comparing things that are similar or that people think are the same thing, but really they're not. And so I say that all the time.
Starting point is 00:51:28 I'm not going to anymore. I'm self-conscious. People in the back of their head are going to be like, I hate when people say that. Sorry. No, I don't have any kind of personal vendetta against it. I just, one of those things that everyone so mindlessly says, and I'm just like, I don't know how I've always been. I'm just like, wait, hold, hold on.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Why is this an idiom? Maybe we should start being like it's like it's like a pair of baseball the football both ball both both both play take place at you know, Oakland Stadium, but Not anymore. How would you compare them? You really can't compare them. It's like khakis to zebras. They're just so different Now that makes sense. Oh, okay. Now I get it. Khakis to zebras? Those aren't even in the same category. I can't compare these.
Starting point is 00:52:10 They're both not citrus. What are they both? Yeah. I can't even think of anything they even have. Both on earth. Colors on them? Barely though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:18 Neutrals. Yeah. Combine black and white and maybe you get a khaki. I don't know. Someone I know, someone we both know had a dream about you this week, Brad. Isaac. No. Trisha Triplett.
Starting point is 00:52:34 I don't love it. That was your second guess. Had a dream about you. My mom. No, close. Peter Casey. Oh, really? Did he share this with you?
Starting point is 00:52:42 Not, no. He said he had a dream that he died and went to heaven and all these angels were like chanting and Israel, this is what he told me, at least in the kitchen. Yeah. He said like, there was like EDM music, like building in heaven. These angels were like in on it. I'm imagining like a, I don't know, like a Vegas nightclub, like Hakkasan. Yeah. Tiesto is also there. To's here and um Tiesto made it but Avicii's not here come on but uh he said right before the beat dropped he said there was one angel that said get on your feet yeah St. Peter get on your feet Pearly Gates let me hear you from the back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce. I know you're sitting at the right hand of God, but get on your feet, JC.
Starting point is 00:53:30 That's awesome. I love it. So I'm surprised he didn't share that with you, it sounds like. No. He just thought to tell me, but yeah, then Angel himself said, get on your feet before the beat dropped in heaven. Do you think it was more like a proper, like, get on your feet? Or you think it was more like a proper, like, get on your feet?
Starting point is 00:53:47 Like, or you think it was more like, let's go. Yeah. I think it was kind of a, uh, like, uh, I don't know, like the, our father, our art in heaven. Get on your feet and deliver us from sin. That's awesome. How does anyone ever get good at extreme sports? Like guys who can backflip on rollerblades and land back on their rollerblades. I've had this thought before.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Yes, same thing. Yeah. Oh, they're going to say like, I've tried this before. Not that hard. No, I've tried it before and I did not play sports for another like five years after that
Starting point is 00:54:24 because I was paralyzed from the neck down like almost any olympic sport how how are you do you progress and just like i can't quite land the 900 on the snowboard right i get about 850 which is the back of my neck right exactly like like the divers divers that just do like 15 flips if you screw that up in the half hurts real bad Or even just like street performers or things like no one's just okay at sword swallowing. Right. I'm working on some daggers, you know, move my way up. I don't know. Last week was awful.
Starting point is 00:54:54 I really choked. I don't know. I feel like the lockdown and the quarantine is going to give us a whole new definition and meaning of words. My gosh. For instance, just one that I thought of this week per a actual conversation I had was someone saying like, oh, my birthday was actually pretty good. I had a couple of friends do a drive-by.
Starting point is 00:55:19 It's like, oh. Oh, perfect. That's awesome. You did a drive-by for your birthday? Oh, it's so sweet when they do that. I saw a little kid did a drive-by with all his friends the other day, oh, perfect. That's awesome. You did a drive-by for your birthday. Oh, it's so sweet when they do that. I saw a little kid did a drive-by with all his friends the other day, too. Yeah. It's like, what?
Starting point is 00:55:30 I think I saw some boys downtown celebrating a birthday. They were all dressed in red. They had these cute little bandanas. I wonder whose birthday it was then. All right. Well, that was some of our best cold opens of 2020. Hope you enjoyed all of those. I, uh, it's always been kind of fun to start.
Starting point is 00:55:53 I like starting each episode off hot. Right. It is fun. And it's fun to like, like a lot of times we'll have like random thoughts that we're like, yeah, this isn't going to go that far, but it's kind of a fun, like just quick 30 second thing. Let's do it on here. Oh, it's so fun. Yeah. You never have the punchline plan. It's just like, this is something we'll just see what happens and then turns into good stuff. Uh, so yeah,
Starting point is 00:56:11 that was the best of our cold opens and you guys know what comes next in a typical episode. So next is the best of Brad's opening jingles from 2020. Yeah. We went from, we, we, I made it, made a theme song, and about three weeks later, we parodied that theme song. Let's not use that anymore. Let's just use the lyrics and have our own.

Starting point is 01:03:06 I think you maybe know where this is going. Check them out. Check it out. Brad, I have a new business idea. Oh, yeah. Back in the day, I had a few Corona-themed ideas, bubble soccer, you know, whatever, socially distanced ideas., this one is just No pandemic
Starting point is 01:03:28 Needed for this one It works in all climates All economic climates All temperature climates I think you're going to really like it But let me set the scene first So I had this idea When I got done playing pickleball
Starting point is 01:03:43 So that somewhat golden no yeah you're good um it's a small little like hut like a like a scooter's coffee like shaped building very small only a drive-thru okay what do we serve slash what's the business called just drinks just drinks just drinks hey what do you what do you want here? Just drinks. Just drinks. Now, what all do you serve here? Just drinks. You know I'm all about this.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Wouldn't it be great? You know it. Because sometimes, I mean, once again, thanks for the sweet tea. Of course. I really appreciate it. It's tradition. Yes. Like I go get drinks from McDonald's all the time, but there is a little part of me that's
Starting point is 01:04:20 like, well, if the line's long, there's other people who like are getting burgers or fries. At my place, it'll be just drinks. What are they? Just drinks. Just drinks. Like there's, you'll never have to wait on like our fries aren't quite done. There's a level of weight or. And how fast will just drinks drive through?
Starting point is 01:04:33 That's what I was going to say. Yeah. Even if it's crowded, it's only, it's a drink at a time. Just drinks. Just drinks. Just a drink for you. Just a drink. Just a drink for you.
Starting point is 01:04:41 What? One, uh, one drink, two drinks, just a drink. Okay. Just a drink. Uh, what would you have? Uh, do you want any fries with that? No, of course you don't because it's just a drink. Just a drink for you. One drink? Two drinks? Just a drink. Okay, just a drink. What would you have? Do you want any fries with that? No, of course you don't because it's just a drink. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:49 I love it. That's perfect. That's my idea. I think it's great. It would be so awesome. Just drinks. Easy startup cost. And I don't even know if I mentioned this.
Starting point is 01:04:58 We would only serve drinks. Okay. That's it. Why not? It would be so easy. We're starting it. Just drink. So, you have eight non-twin people.
Starting point is 01:05:14 Okay. That are in the mix. Guys and girls, I guess. Four guys, four girls. Non-twins. Okay. Then you have another set of eight people that are made up of four sets of twins. Okay. All identicals.
Starting point is 01:05:23 Okay. Wait, wait, wait. Okay. All all identicals but not all identical to themselves they're not eight four sets of their own okay they're not eight clones the original eight people who are not twins don't know that there's twins involved in this show at all love this they only think there's four other people they think there's 12 people in this oh my gosh and so they're all trying to find love but the twins have to like communicate back and forth like okay i talked to john about this i said we like salmon i hate salmon yeah well sorry you have to you have to act like that now we're making salmon croquettes tonight so just get over it um so that's one option is that they're always going
Starting point is 01:05:56 back and forth switching in and out kind of americate and ashley full house type thing oh my gosh i love switching him out parent trap or you could also have it be where there's always just one twin does the whole thing the entire time and then at the very end when it's like the finale or it's time to like propose or whatever the end of the show is then the other twin comes out for the first time and it's like can they like discern that this is a different person like this is not the twin that i've been courting for a month no i think instead of having them both come out at once having like the very last rose or whatever you want to call it like the very final thing before they decide oh yeah no
Starting point is 01:06:28 that's the other train that's what i was saying that's what you're saying okay yeah no i thought you were saying like they come out together no like he goes to propose to the other twin you're like you're not the same person and if they can tell then you pass yes and if not perfectly then you just start swinging yeah it's like you jerk like, you don't know anything about me. Yeah. Cause like Emily, we can, I can totally tell the difference between Emily and Taylor. It's very identical. Yeah. They're pretty, uh, very distinct.
Starting point is 01:06:51 Distinct. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can tell them apart. And so I'd be like, what are you doing here? You're not, you're not Emily. You're not my wife.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Oh, I love that. Gunner's wife. Because even if only one out of the four struggled and didn't know or didn't want to say anything, that's the other thing is like, did you do something different with your makeup? Your eyes look different. Like, like that's, that's offensive. You don't want to say that you had two arms, right? I'm pretty sure. Yeah. You were ambidextrous before and not so much now. And I think someone needs to be gay. Okay. Let's throw that in. Not, I'm not willing to budge on that. Actually.
Starting point is 01:07:26 Someone's gay. Yeah. Good. Definitely. Good for you, man. Just to stir the pot. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:30 We got one gay twin. One's not creates this whole other conversation. Or what if, what, what if what happens is like one of the twins falls, like one of the twins is always like watching the secret camera twin on twin action. Yeah. And then they're like,
Starting point is 01:07:43 I'm actually in love with this guy. Holy crap. This guy's for me bachelor meets shark tank tell me more come in the four sharks are for women hello my name is jake triett. I am a single entrepreneur and I'm looking to, I'm seeking unconditional love for 20 to 30% of my heart. I think the girls could ask very similar questions to what the sharks ask. Like, would you be willing to take me into stores? Big box retailers? Yeah. How do you see this?
Starting point is 01:08:22 How do you see this going over time? Are there any other investors? Right. Do we have anyone else involved? Right. And then somebody just wants to hit it and quit it. They'll be like, no, let's just, I'll take royalties on this. One of the sharks is a guy at the very end of the thing. He's like, Hey, Hey, Jake, loved your pitch. I'm not gay though. And for that reason, I'm out now, Sarah, would you be willing to partner up with Ashley? Because two sharks would be ideal. I really want to have a multi-shark deal all my life. Brad, the last few weeks I've had different coronavirus-type business ideas.
Starting point is 01:09:00 Okay. I'm just going to keep them coming. I got a new one this week. We had ice cream truck. We had drive-in movie theater. This week, Bubble Soccer. Try and find me another sport that's more quarantine approved than Bubble
Starting point is 01:09:10 Soccer. Bring back Bubble Soccer. Yes. You're like isolated. There would be no sharing of the bubble balls. You would do a good wipe down before each usage. Of the bubbles? Whatever. Wipe down. Hey, your bubble your choice. Wipe me down. Your bubble your ball. I think we should get Cuban on the phone.
Starting point is 01:09:27 Well, why stop at soccer if we're going bubble? Why not go bubble basketball? Bubble basketball. Bubble ball. We could get Double Bubble involved as a sponsor. Bubble water polo. Oh, that would actually be good for people who can't swim that great. Right.
Starting point is 01:09:41 For all ages. Great. All right. Coming soon to nursing homes, bubble water polo. All right. And we're back to current day Jake and Brad.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Hopefully, hopefully. Tremendous hopefully. You enjoyed it. It's always kind of fun to look back when I know just drinks isn't an inside joke, but it's an inside thing that we have. So it's always kind of fun to look back when I know just drinks isn't an inside joke, but
Starting point is 01:10:05 it's an inside thing that we have. So it's cool to listen back to when that like first began. Who knew? No, I think about that sometimes. Like what if I didn't respond in a certain way or what if like we, we didn't explain it well. And then it just like, it just fizzled. Could have turned into nothing.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Yeah. And now we got t-shirts. It's so fun. People are walking over. Yeah. All over the nation with just drink shirts on oh speaking of shirts we didn't mention this in the in the first trimester tell me what we did right before this right before this was oh wait what wait shirts ford oh my gosh yes let's talk about
Starting point is 01:10:37 a little bonus yeah it's right here i was like shirts oh he was because he was wearing a shirt yeah yeah it took me a long time to figure out. Sorry. Yeah. Jason Ford. Shout out to my guy. He is the dad. He's a loyal listener. He's a dad. A.F.
Starting point is 01:10:56 And he has two girls that are also loyal listeners. And what up, Molly? Kate, what up, Jane? What up, MKJ? And it's so funny to me. He emailed me earlier today and said, hey, it's a, it's a tradition that I always get all my kids signed autographs from celebrities, signed picture autographs from celebrities, um, for their birthday or for Christmas. Gosh, Jesus birthday. Yes. Jesus birthday. And what a tradition. And so do you mind signing these like pictures of
Starting point is 01:11:20 yourself? And, and I was like, sure, man. Like I, I, I don't know him super personally, but I, he went to our church. He's across street neighbors from McDonald's, you know? And so I was like, great. Yeah. I know this guy's last name is the brand of the car you drive. Oh my gosh. Maybe you owe it to him. You don't think, you don't think that's Henry's boy. Is it Henry? Anyway, I don't know, Brad, I don't know about this model t you know henry and afford and so he came by right before we recorded this uh with two pictures of us and we signed them and sent them to them and i asked him before we signed these like like what kind of celebrities are we going up against here because they're competition every year and he's like he's i
Starting point is 01:12:01 didn't know what to expect i'm trying to think first. First of all, he spouted off Michael Phelps. Like, oh, okay. Does it get bigger than that?

That's just one of the many things we will be chanting. March to stop the spread. But you literally have to be six feet apart from each other. We will be holding a pole that keeps you six feet apart, but it also keeps your steps very uniform. It's very cool.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Holding a pole with one hand and just sticking your one other hand just straight out in the air towards where you're walking just to represent that we are going to flatten the curve, flatten the curve, but not completely flat. Like have it up towards the sun a little bit. Like we're going onward and upward. Right. Right. Get it high, but not too high.

Well, they might get canceled because their name is the Indians, but I meant like their school is going to get canceled. Cancel culture. They're going to be called the high school, like the Redskins. The Stratford High School. Stratford, the high school team. That would be funny.
Starting point is 01:22:08 Oh, maybe, maybe you should just preemptively like make shirts that say that and sell them at Stratford. Oh yeah. Like squat on them. I think that's what it's called when you do things before squat. Well, it's like an Indian thing. I was going to say, I don't think squatting dog. Yeah.

No. I think like you, I reserve that reserve that oh don't say that reservation i don't know i have skin in the game i wouldn't i wouldn't i wouldn't i wouldn't go there yeah skin in the game uh can't think of anything with scalp but trust me i've been thinking i can't think of anything yeah how'd you get that ticket i scalped it whoa i scalped the ticket for the basketball team and now are you the one to charge you i'm kind of the chief around here hey hey dude hey come on come on like ceo chief no stop quit quit we can't root for them anymore oh yeah like i was using i'm gonna do one more okay Like I was writing those, I was writing the plays out before the game on the chalkboard.

Starting point is 01:24:09 Or just don't. Do they have like a group that's called cancel culture? It's a badge. There's Jesus culture, I know. Yes, it's a band where they wear badges and it's called cancel culture. It's like pop funk. I actually love the name cancel culture for a band. That sounds pretty

No. You're missing out. What?
Starting point is 01:25:48 You're missing out. No, baby. Tell me. I think the reporter. What? This is amazing. You're kidding. I would.
Starting point is 01:25:56 Oh, the soundbite of Patrick Mahomes saying pickleball. Oh, that'd be amazing. No. Why don't you just try to recreate it now? Okay. Here's the actual question that he got asked, and somehow he pivoted this into pickleball. It was something like,
Starting point is 01:26:08 how's the relationship with Sammy Watkins been? You know, it's really great. Me and Sam, we just, we vibe on a lot of levels. You know, we both, we're both Texas boys at heart, so we love barbecue. We love prime rib. We love, you know, watching MTV Cribs together. And we actually just recreated an MTV Cribs episode prime rib. We love, uh, you know, watching MTV cribs together. And,
Starting point is 01:26:25 uh, we actually just recreated an MTV cribs episode where we go out back and we play pickleball together. Uh, you know, we're on the same team against Kels against Kels and Mitch Schwartz. And we just whoop them up, uh, every day.
Starting point is 01:26:38 So it's every day's a challenge. That was actually really good impression. I felt really good about that. I felt like it was pretty consistent. Right about a gravel. Yeah. Let's talk about our weeks. Let's specifically talk about that daylight saving time happened and it's the worst. Yeah. Yeah. What seriously, do you know, like the argument for why we still do it? I think to give us something to be upset about. Seriously. I think that's worst. Yeah. Yeah. What? Seriously, do you know, like the argument for why we still do it? I think to give us something to be upset about. Seriously.
Starting point is 01:27:09 I think that's it. Yeah. To just unite us. I think based off of what I remember from National Treasure One, they mentioned that it was Ben Franklin's idea. Ben Franklin. Is that good? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:19 I'm going to steal the Declaration of Independence. Give me something else to say. Daylight savings. These spectacles can see the map. I think these spectacles can see the map. The secret lies with Charlotte. It was firm. It was adamant.
Starting point is 01:27:36 It was resolved. It was resolved. Yeah, I love how... Resolved? Yeah, like the way he like... I was like 12 years old watching my sister. And we were like, what? like 12 years old. Watch what my sister, I were like, what?
Starting point is 01:27:46 How did you get that from that? It was written in iron pen. He goes from iron pen to declaration of independence in that scene. Or like in that like specific declaration of India. Oh, and where do you go to see Libertyville? Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Starting point is 01:28:02 So you write it in. Inca. And the Incans, where'd they go Once they went up north from Mexico They went to At the corner of here and wall Yes Remember that? I know more about this movie than I thought
Starting point is 01:28:19 What a movie though Here with two E's And speaking of pickleball So here with two E's. And speaking of pickleball, we made a new friend last night. Oh, did we? Brad showed up about 30 minutes after we did. And right before Brad got there, I made a friend. This guy was just kind of watching.
Starting point is 01:28:41 It's as weird as it sounds. I'll just say it objectively. He was watching me play from outside the fence for about 20 minutes. There was more than 10 people there, so he was outside the fence. Yeah, the Brad rule. And I was like, I wonder if this guy is, I wonder where his attentions are. But she came in and I said,
Starting point is 01:28:54 can I play with you guys? And I said, yeah, dude, you could be on my team. Turns out his name is Ole? Ola. Ola? Ola. O-L-E-H. I know that because it was on his paddle which was honestly clutch clutch because he would be like all right the first time he said his name i was
Starting point is 01:29:12 like what did you say yeah ollie ola because it's just like ola a few a few like muttered muttered noises ola yeah yeah and he was on my team and we we house. Brad shows up and he goes, who's this guy? So we play with Ola a little bit and turns out Ola's not going anywhere. Ola's here to pickle with us all night. We ended up playing with him for, I mean, probably close to three hours last night. It was awesome. And I had some great quotes from Ola throughout the night. He did not back down from the trash talk at all.
Starting point is 01:29:45 No. As a matter of fact, he kind of threw it my way a few times. Like there was one time where I missed an easy shot into the net and I was like, oh, no. And he just goes, oh, yes. Oh, yes. And then what else did he say? I can't remember all of them.
Starting point is 01:30:02 Can you remember anything else he said? I remember one time we were partners. You hit into in the net or something like god dang it i was like hey it's okay and then ola goes yeah it's okay it's okay and he would always call out this like he had a certain way of calling out the uh score like if we were to do it be like all right two two one here we go and then you serve real quick say the score and especially when he was the second one so you say your score their score and then the first or second so he'd be like uh seven six and then you get his point and be like eight six every time to the point where brad started like mocking him but every time i would do it i would
Starting point is 01:30:40 mess up and so then he'd get the ball back he'd be like nine six and then he'd wait for a second and kind of watch me and be like it was great man it was it was really funny it was great we got his number we might text him tonight the yes we need to the uh the the best the best part of the whole thing oh yeah so jake and i are playing on a team and most of the people had left the pickleball courts by that time uh somebody was in the parking lot, though, blaring in their car the party rock anthem. And in a minivan, too, I think. Really? I think it was. I couldn't tell.
Starting point is 01:31:11 Yeah. So Jake was like, is that LMFAO over there? And I was like, yeah, it is. And we were talking about the song for a second. And then Ola kind of gets close to the net and he just like makes eye contact with me. And he goes, every day I'm shuffling. And I was like, Ola! like it's amazing such a wild card he also quoted acdc at one point yeah dirty deeds and done dirt cheap it was amazing the whole thing i was like this guy is staying
Starting point is 01:31:37 around maybe we had the bar set too low for like a 58 year old european but ukrainian but yeah he very much surpassed it yeah it's ukrainian europe surely that's your that's like eastern europe surely i don't know i don't know like russia isn't russia in both asia and ukraine or sorry asia and europe is that true i think who gets to decide what continent people are on uh galileo i think did okay and then it was remodified by Obama, I think. That's right. That was the Obamacare Act. That's what that was.
Starting point is 01:32:08 Because he's like, I care about where these continents are. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Obamacare's. Yeah. So, I... Well, I don't know. I think that Turkey is the only country in two continents.
Starting point is 01:32:19 Oh, really? Okay. I think. Okay. I haven't checked the Obamacare in a while, though, so... It was a five-star review last time. Yeah. We don't know.
Starting point is 01:32:24 But Russia definitely gets over there. It it goes west yeah anyway it's huge anyway your friend's not even russia every day i'm shuffling every day i'm shoveling it was awesome in the middle of point i was like out of all the things i would have thought you were gonna say oh that was probably last on the list when i met you two hours ago he works at the casino and he's a professional dealer he's like yeah every day I'm shuffling. Not really. That would be good though. He was crazy.
Starting point is 01:32:50 Like we could talk about all of the holes. He was not a casino dealer. He's quite the opposite. He's a molecular biologist. And I was like, oh really? You still do that? He's like, no, no, no. Software, software developer, then graphic designer. And now I make videos for lawyers.
Starting point is 01:33:02 I was like, what? I filmed their depositions. And wait, now you're the voice of Gru in Despicable Me? That's crazy, Ola. That's so impressive how you did all of that. Okay, I'm not that great at impressions, okay?
Starting point is 01:33:18 Anyway, it was a fun time with Ola, man. Hopefully more stories to come from Ola in the weeks to come. Okay, and it wouldn't be a recap without recapping just the best moments as a whole. So that's this next part. Just like our best bits. Some of our favorites. Yeah. Yeah, just the stuff that we thought was the funniest or that you guys
Starting point is 01:33:42 seem to think was the funniest. Just some of our favorite little segments that came out of nowhere and ended up being real big hits. I feel like so often we record and it's like, we're not really hitting on certain things. And then all of a sudden it's like, boom,
Starting point is 01:33:56 like that was a good one. Like we'll get done recording. You'll be like, oh man, you just nailed that one part or whatever, you know? And so I just love, yeah, this montage of those things. So yeah, you record for, uh, an hour and a half and then the last like five minutes you get to like the, you know, whatever, like, Oh, I can't believe we hit that. Yeah.

He's like, I can roll mine up if you want. I'm like, that's not gonna help much. So he rolls his window up. And so I'm like, whatever, I guess those are the rules.

Starting point is 01:44:38 Yeah. Truly just here to dance. Oh, you play tennis? Do not post this on the internet! So we were at the library and you know how the classic library, like be quiet kind of thing. I've heard of that. It's not really that big of a deal if you make noise, but Hattie
Starting point is 01:44:59 runs in, she gets so excited to go look at Curious George and all that stuff. That's awesome. Okay, let's chill a little bit. And so we're over there in the kids section it's not a huge library but it's whatever it's fine it's fair size and on the clear other side of the library um somebody's ringtone goes off and first of all like who the heck uses a ringtone anymore like if you if you do use one it's like a it's like a standard something from your phone right yeah and even that is crazy that is like why are you not on vibrate right what song i'm so excited okay so so what song is this i'm gonna keep setting up a situation a little bit
Starting point is 01:45:35 more so it's on the complete other side it is gotta be as full blast as possible and it is this old man like i'm saying 70 years old at least like covid scares him quite a bit probably i don't know he was there with his ringtone on his phone um but you would never guess in a million years his ringtone for whatever reason i have no idea how this can i guess you can't big girls don't cry by fergie better dang it it was cyclone. No. Yes. That cannot be real. I'm serious. So, like, on the complete other side of the entire library, I just hear it.
Starting point is 01:46:13 Oh. Oh. Oh. Shut it up right now. And then, like, it was classic. Baby Bash. It was, like, classic old man. And so he did not know he did not know how to like answer his phone for like 20 seconds. So it like went on.
Starting point is 01:46:27 He moved about it. I got a cycle. Make them. Oh, no. And I'm like, what is happening? And this guy's like struggling to like, you know, get his phone out of his pocket and all this stuff. And I, and I've just like, this is not real, you know?
Starting point is 01:46:48 And at first I didn't realize an old man. I first, I thought i thought it was like okay this is probably some young whippersnapper but he but those people don't use ringtones yeah so i don't know if this guy like just inherited this phone from his you know grandson seven years ago or what like what how did this happen but i heard it like i heard I heard the first two. Oh, oh. And I was like, oh my gosh, that's awesome. That brings me back. And then I see it's like this old dude, like fumbling, fumbling his phone, like trying to get it out. Oh my gosh. I'm sure he was probably like legitimately dancing, trying to get his phone out. He's like, oh, I gotta get my phone. Hold on. I can't. Yeah. Oh my gosh. It was so wonderful.
Starting point is 01:47:27 It was wonderful. I was like, how do you, I'm so glad that we came to the library today. How do you go and be as loud as you want? Not gonna be louder than baby. And that was like, that was like the third funny thing.
Starting point is 01:47:35 It's like, it's funny. That's a ringtone. It's funny. It's that ringtone. It's funny. That's an old man, but the juxtaposition,
Starting point is 01:47:40 I don't know if that's the complete right word, but like the, the idea of like, it's supposed to be this quiet place and it's just as loud and echoey as possible. It was just amazing. No, ACL was crazy. ACL was crazy back in the day with, with her. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:48:56 Singing Little Red Wagon in the car instead of listening to Tanner and Josh. Oh, my gosh. That's funny. That's funny that their names would be Tanner and Josh. Holy cow. Just like super lame names. Sorry. Those are normal names, but just super lame names for people that are Migos.
Starting point is 01:49:14 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You got a little teary-eyed in one of those. I forget what I said. Tanner and Josh. Tanner and Josh. Gotcha.
Starting point is 01:49:21 Thinking of Migos. Tanner and Josh. I'm just impressed that I knew the Migos was two guys. It's not. It's three. No, it's not. Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

Starting point is 01:58:17 in downtown Dallas when I still have to do defensive driving for another one I got a couple months ago. Uh-oh. Sometimes I feel like I just can't catch a break.
Starting point is 01:58:25 Jesus, give me strength today. Okay. I think maybe Jesus just wants you to obey the law. I don't think you can't catch a break. No trespassing. I think you're driving 20 miles an hour over the speed limit. To be fair, there are signs that say how fast you can go. So she should know better.
Starting point is 01:58:41 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It says no speeding. Yeah, if it were to say, hey, go as fast as you want, but you might get pulled over. I understand how you get frustrated and need Jesus in that point. I just thought it was, I don't know, just, you know, one of those things I just, it caught my eye for, I stayed on a little longer than normal. Well, she totally missed the opportunity. Why, why Jesus take the straight or, you know, give me a straight line. Jesus take the wheel. Jesus take the wheel. Absolutely. At least if you're going to throw, if Jesus is going to take the wheel. Jesus take the wheel. Absolutely. At least if you're going to throw,
Starting point is 01:59:05 if Jesus is going to take the wheel, he's not driving too fast. He's cruise control in three miles under the, under the speed limit the whole time. I just love, uh, just like you absolutely making mistakes and be like, I just can't catch a break.
Starting point is 01:59:18 I just, gosh, I just don't know. Yeah. I've, I've gotten pulled over eight times in the last week and I just don't know. I don't know how. I've just never been this unlucky in one week.

My question for you guys is, so SpaceX recently launched two men back into space thanks to our good friend Elon Musk. Outer space. And he has aspirations to send the first man to Mars. So when Neil Armstrong first landed on the moon, he uttered the phrase,
Starting point is 02:06:08 that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. Leap day. My question for you guys is if you were to be the first man to step on Mars, what would be the phrase you would say as that first step is taken? You can get creative as you want with it.
