I love my kids. I love the opportunity that I have to hang out with my kids. But I wonder if maybe my daughter's getting to the point where in her life where like, I think she's cute, but other people might think she's kind of annoying. Okay. You know what I mean? Like, like I think parents so often, I'm like, your kid's kind of annoying, but you're blinded by it. I think I might be that point with Hattie a little bit. So you can let me know.

Not too vigorously, please. Okay. Yeah, just let me know sometime. One of the weird quirks that she's doing lately is she's being so goofy. And it's fun. It's funny. It's probably my fault, honestly. I'm the goofy one in the family.

You are goofy. So zany. Um, but one of the things she does is like, you know, she'll just like change the first letters of words that you say to her. So you're like, Hey, you want to read a book?

She'll be like, you want to go sneed a cook or something like that. And it's like, it's like, and she thinks it's so funny, whatever. And so honestly it's, it's kind of annoying sometimes.

It's like, okay, okay. This is not that cute. You know, it's just kind of annoying me. Um, but I will say there's really sweet moments as well. Um, so, you know, I was putting her to bed the other night and, you know, we were reading her book, we're reading this chapter book, she's loving it. She's getting into it. And she wants

me to sing her amazing grace after we praise, we praise sing your amazing grace. And I'm like patting her. She wants me to pat her a little bit. She's like patting me as I'm patting her. And it's like, this is what fatherhood's all about, baby. This is why I signed up to do it, you know? And I just go, I love you, Hattie. And she just looks me right in the eyes and just goes, I love you, fatty.

Uh-oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Then Wes' best friend's eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet, because it's the Ghost Rubber's Podcast. Every morning, morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Rubber's Podcast. Ghost Rubber's Podcast. Oh, all right. Go for a podcast. Oh, all right.

Well, we're back. Episode 91. Let's get some vibes in here, dude. Let's get some vibes in here, dad. Let's get the vibe police going up in here. We are real, dad. Oh, dude. Wait, Brad, do you hear someone upstairs?

Is someone at the door? Hello? Who is it? Wait. What's up? Are they coming down to bring us some vibes down here, dude? Somebody order some vibes? I got pepperoni vibes.

I got half cheese, half sausage vibes over here, dude. Oh, what's up, dude? Oh, I can't wait to head out of here. Gonna call an Uber. Uber for vibes, please? Yeah. Get some vibes in this car. Sure, dude. Oh, my gosh. We've been having some fun with the vibes lately dude uh do you think katherine's been having as much no i i

think i said it to her the other day like because like we've we did a lot at the chiefs game but we watched uh and the other day she aofc championship you're not just gonna not lay down the vibes we gotta get some vibes in here dude and i go like and specifically that night i was mostly referring to the fire that i was the fire i was trying to yeah the fire like every time it was kind of dying down i'd be like let's get some fire there dude and i like go and like blow on the fire and stoke it a little bit as i'm doing i'm like looking at jake and i was like let's get some vibes here dude uh so they left the house at one point. I forgot what I did. Oh,

I think, well, yeah, whatever. I come back and you've got a log to your ear talking to Hattie. Like, what's that? You want some vibes?

And Hattie is just like, not amused at all. You want to know why Hattie's goofy? There's, there's no doubt why. Oh yeah. She like, she like doesn't like, well,

she's starting to get it a little bit, but she like didn't get it. She's like, what are vibes? I'm not, I'm not a dude. I'm a girl. You know? I'm like, no, dude, dude, dude, dude, come on. And she's like, I don't have any vibes. Like you got chocolate vibes, vanilla vibes. And then like later on the game, she like brought a bucket to us. I was like, what's this? And she's like, there's some vibes in there. And I was like, let's get some vibes. Bucket of vibes. And so, yeah, I just love using like props and like just being so goofy with her and like trying to expand her imagination by being imaginative myself. So I like, yeah,

I was using that as like a prop, like, hello, dude, what's up? You need some, Hattie wants some vibes in here. Yeah. Let's get some vibes in here. That's no problem. And so just the other day i said to katherine and she goes i don't really know what you're talking about dude like she was like mildly annoyed with me like not talking normally to her i don't i don't really know what you're talking about and i did so anyway i just thought of something i like to imagine you know not to get too into it but you know

work oh yeah that was very strange that was bad we were like very upset yeah we thought like for a second we were gonna have to redo the whole thing what do we end up doing do we just end up using like the audio from the from my phone from like you know yeah 10 feet away from me oh man i remember there was the time your electricity went out yes very early on you know what i think about all the time is like these lights are gonna go out one time when we're recording these light bulbs been going strong for a while yeah so hurry here first nostradamus lights are going out soon nice we're gonna be vibes in here we've had we've had lots of crazy technology stuff like that happened not crazy but just like my phone is turned off your phone's turned off one time we didn't have your video at all and then all of a sudden it just showed back

up on your phone yeah just took like a few hours and like now it's in my photos okay i guess we're back yeah so you never know never know but this is episode 91 thank you guys for listening if you're new if you're old if you're in between um thanks for coming and hanging out with us who's the oldest person we got listening to this podcast if you're old out there and you're listening to this and you can figure it out, send us a voice memo or something. If you can figure it out. Get your grandchild to send us in one. Yeah, I'm trying to think who's the oldest that I know of.

My Aunt Cindy is in her 70s. Oh, wow. She doesn't seem that old. She doesn't seem that old to me, though. She's a young soul, Jake. She could easily half walk, half run a half marathon, I think. I would love to watch her half run that thing. You don't think she could?

Half run? I don't know about that. I don't know. Cindy? I'm trying to get on Aunt Cindy's good side, so she gives me a little discount on the sprint bills this month. Yeah. No, yeah.

Free SIM card or something. I don't know. Yeah. How was your week? It's been good. What happened? What happened? What is this happened what is this um it's been good honestly i don't know how productive it's been because i've just every time i like get a little bit sidetracked i just want to read stuff about the chiefs like yes the chiefs are going super bowl again watch that tyreek hill play

43 times probably yeah it's so awesome oh Oh, yeah. That like, yeah. He just, he basically took a play that was probably a five yard play, seven yard play. And just like, just because he's so athletic and crazy quick and everything made it, how long?

Do you know how long it was? 70 yards? Yeah, between 50 and 70, I think something like that. Yeah. So I'm excited to tell my kids someday, like when I introduced them to like the Incredibles, the movie, like you see Dash, to like the Incredibles, the movie,

like you see dash, he grew up to be on the chiefs. There's a real life version of his skin changed a lot. Yeah. But he was just as fast. Skills were the same. Yeah. Yeah.

It's. And did you notice how he like, kind of like fell over at the end of that play and acted like he was hurt. And I was just like, Oh crap. That's classic Tyra kill. He always does that. He has done that a lot of times where it's like,

Oh no, he's hurt. And he's really's really like nope i'm just kind of tired from running 150 yards human body isn't supposed to go that fast so obviously some muscles are gonna twitch afterwards yeah right that's expected no but it's been a good week um yesterday yesterday night last night we went on a little date night a little date thanks to our wonderful babysitter that we're gonna hire all the time now, Mrs. Jake Fire. Jake came over and was clutch. Yeah, just got to pretty much hang out at our house.

I didn't do anything. We made sure to, yeah, do all the diapers and sing all the Amazing Graces and get weight shamed before you got there. And so that you could just kind of hang out. I was really ready to like have some cool story but they slept the whole time i know like i was really excited yeah for haddie to come running to me saying i had a bad dream yeah and then i tell her just like this beautiful just like made up bedtime story she goes right back to bed she did come out uh during the

championship game didn't she she did and like she was like half asleep maybe she looked homeless yeah it was just her hair was like fly like yeah. She looked homeless. Yeah. She was just holding. Her hair was like flat. Like, yeah. What was she holding? Her baby? She was holding all of her stuffed animals because she knew.

This is actually pretty cool. That's right. She knew. Catherine had told her, hey, if you get up out of bed, I'm going to take all your stuffed animals. So Hattie gets up out of bed holding her stuffed animals

and then she just gives them to Catherine. Like, here you go. Yep. But in addition to that, she's also got like some headphones wrapped around her arm and they're just like dangling behind her yeah that was what really like created like the homely look it was like she couldn't get them off of her like I don't know they're just stuck oh Hattie yeah we put a nightlight in her room I think it's a

little bit too bright too many lumens yeah she has too much confidence just like roaming around at night like I'm gonna go get my headphones that i don't have anything to plug into just yeah it's i mean the better you can lower your daughter's confidence that's what i've always heard yeah the better no yeah that's kind of what we're trying to do is just kind of break her down and break her down and make her rely on you guys more yeah that's that's the goal is like complete dependence so and then you ship her off to college and she has to relearn most of what she should have learned in adolescence yeah yeah that's that's exactly wow i've read the book i'm a mate yeah i was gonna say have you you've read dr chandri um no the name of the doctor in the office yeah for the colonoscopy yeah um is there anything i could do to make it more pleasurable

for dr chandri uh no okay here's a kind of crazy thing. I don't think I've told you this yet. Last week after we recorded, the next morning. I'm going to turn this up in the headphones a little bit if you don't mind. Get some vibes up in my ears. Get some vibes there. I actually needed a little bit of vibes in here. It seemed quiet. It did.

Yeah. A little bit. Now we're back. Oh, no. This cord that I have is not factory. I mean, it's not the black one. It's this cruddy one. You don't think it came from a factory?

No. Hand woven, maybe? Hand woven. Good. Yeah. It's a, it's an artisanal, uh, blend art, artisan. It's from the Ozarks. It's from a trade show in the Ozarks. Um, what was I saying? Oh, last week we recorded on Wednesday, I think Thursday, Thursday. Okay. So Friday morning I get a phone call like seven 30 in the morning, Like, hello, this is Brad. You know, and I always try to answer like, I, do you do this thing when it's like the first call in the morning? Do you answer a few times before you actually answer? No.

I go practice runs. I hate, I hate when somebody says, oh gosh, did I wake you up? Yeah. I never, I never want people to know, you know? And so I'm always like, hi, this is Brad. Hi, this is Brad. Hi, this is Brad. And I click it on. Hi, this is Brad. hi this is brad hi this is brad and i click

it on hi this is brad you go hello this is dang it skirt my line start over sorry um call me again this guy goes hey um did did you lose your license hey you know whatever and i was like what what he's like he's like i found found your license, um, on rig street. Oh crap. Whatever. It doesn't matter. You don't live here anymore. I found your license on rig street. Um, and I was like, yeah, that was definitely my license. I didn't realize I lost it yet, but as I was there last night, he's like, yeah, I was in the middle of the road. I was out running this morning and noticed it. No, it didn't, it didn't, it turned out it wasn't my license. It was my whole wallet. And he was like, I'll just drop it off. I was like, yeah, my friend lives over here.

It's the one with the huge dumpster in there right now. Cause he's renovating stuff. He's like, I'll just drop it off in the mailbox. So I pick up my wallet and it had like $150 in it. Nice. Like enough where you would have told a police officer when you were younger, you had a large amount of money. Yeah had a substantial amount of money in there. Maybe. Yeah. I mean, how much do you like Chipotle? 150 big ones. So I like weirdly, like, obviously like I'm very grateful for like not having to renew the credit card and get new driver's license and stuff, but in the money too was awesome. But I'm like, I wish I knew more about this guy to like repay him yeah like like he he could have i feel like there's like an unwritten rule where it's like if you find somebody else's wallet and

they have cash in it you take the cash you get back the wallet i think so i've done it six or seven times have you no i've never done that six or seven years like here's like as a matter of fact i take it out of their pockets and then i say hey i think I think I found this. They, they, they're so grateful. And they know the code too. They're like, I assume you took the cash out. I say, I did. Thank you, sir. Good day.

Thank you, Mr. Cuban. Do you like these space pants? I just got them. I stole these two. So anyway, I just, I've been thinking, I don't know if I'm just going to like try to hunt this guy down using like a reverse, like phone number search. You're trying to find them running. Yeah.

I think when you go, when you would normally go running with aunt Cindy to train for half marathon. Now you just go running on rig street, try to find this guy. He mentioned that he lives on Russell street. Do you know where that is? No. Okay.

He made, he made it sound like it was close. So I just go around Russell street and just maybe I'd bless everyone on Russell street a little bit. No, no, no. Here's what you do.

You lay a little trap. Okay. The trap is your wallet again. He's like, surely not. It couldn't be. Two times in two weeks. Yeah. And then you pounce on them with a net.

Say surprise. It's me, Brad. I got you, you freak. Yeah. It's me, Brad. I wanted to repay you. Yeah, that's good. Well, the crazy thing, he had to like, he said he was like, yeah, I went and like Googled

you and like found your website. What's your, lscustomagrations.com ellis custom creations.com ellis because facebook.com slash ellis custom creation instagram.com is ellis because of migrations um find us on patreon um but he yeah like he had like really like dig to do i'm i'm just very grateful for this guy and like it's like made me think about like what can i bless others with this week like pay it forward a little bit yeah really though so i don't have great answer for that. I haven't like been like, Oh, I've just paid for the guy behind me in a drive-thru or something like that. But have you ever thought about that by the way? Sorry. Um, you've heard of that, right? Like, yeah, of course.

Like I always imagine like, you know, especially like you, like you're going by yourself through the drive-thru, your Chick-fil-A costs $9. And they're like, Hey, uh, somebody actually, that guy actually paid for you. Do you want to pay for the person behind you? And you're like, wow, that's amazing. Yes, please. And you look back and it's like a family of six and you're like, Oh my God, it's like a church van. Yeah. Surely that's happened where they're like, okay, that'll be $98. And you're like, Whoa, I'll just get their milkshake. Like, did I say I would pay for the whole meal? Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh. I just meant their waters. No, I'll get all the waters and the sauce. Put me down for the sauce. I'll do the sauce. I'll do all this as much sauce as they want. And condiments or waters on me guys. Yeah.

Anyway, I just, I've, I've thought like, surely if you're out there and you're a food service person that's happened, I would love to hear some stories about that. So send in some voice memos, five-star reviews. That would be great. I like to pay for the person behind me. Oh, shoot. This is a Panera. Never mind.

I'm in the wrong. Yeah, right. Shoot. I'm in the wrong place. Panera, you never know, man. Yeah. Everything's $98. It's like, what?

We went to that Shake Shack yesterday. Shake Shack's too expensive. I'm here to say it. Those shakes are very good, but very small, very expensive. Yeah. I don't. I'm not going to it. Those shakes are very good, but very small, very expensive. Yeah. I don't, I'm not going to go there again anytime soon, I don't think. But Jake, how was your week? My week, dude?

Had some vibes in my week, dude. Oh, vibes, dude? The CVO? Chief Vibe Officer? That was me. Let's see, about halfway through the week since last time we recorded. Played a little pickleball tournament. Vibes.

Vibes. It was sponsored by Boulevard Brewing. Vibe. Vibe. Vibe. Yeah. Big boy vibes. ABV.

21 and older vibes. Alcohol vibe vibes. Didn't think much of it. And we get there and they say, so welcome to the Boulevard Brewing Cannon Hand Tournament. I'm like, what's up? Cannon? C-A-N-N-O-N? Good point of clarification.

Can, space, in, space, hand. You're like, yeah, thanks. I'm glad to be here. No. Can-in-hand. Can-in-hand. Like beer-in-hand tournament. Okay.

So there was like a social division and a competitive division. And both of them were like, you have to have a drink in your hand. Oh, wow. Which this seems more like a social division kind of thing. Definitely. a beer play a little pickleball have some fun you drop it you gotta drink the whole thing yeah and so it wasn't though it was the competitive division you have to hold a can in your hand which i feel like everyone was just like disappointed by this like why is this a rule no one wants this so do you think it was a surprise to other people too it was okay and i found out why later but that that comes later in the story i'm sorry i'll try to ask questions but do that if if i if i go too far no actually i'll just tell you now you know what you've earned

it you've been a great listener uh scott scott sell was there and he recognized a friend of his who works in marketing for chicken pickle okay so after the term he's like hey just out of curiosity like was this advertised this was like a can in hand or whatever like beer tournament she's like no we actually can't advertise it or we could get sued like hold on is this worth it you made like a few hundred dollars and but you could get sued what first of all i don't know how you get sued second of all i just it does not seem worth it to risk lawsuit for like a little tournament yeah okay so so question number one if you'll allow it um did they make you have to get a boulevard nope or like could you just get a water or a water bottle or something yeah just anything

okay so i okay because that was my thought is like they're forcing you to buy alcohol and that doesn't seem legal yeah but if you can just like bring your own nalgene if you want to and just hold it there yeah so i i don't know what's illegal about it but she was like yeah we could get sued that was a weird little part of it so i'm skeptical of that yeah the whole thing was weird okay we're like whatever these are the rules like everyone has to abide by them so just make the most of it so i asked one of the waiters there i'm like hey can we get a dr pepper in a can because keep in mind isaac my partner, is 20 years old. Right. So, you know, not going to break two laws at once.

Uh-huh. I'm like, can we get Dr. Peppers in a can? He's like, ooh, we don't have Dr. Peppers in cans. We have Coke, though. I'm like, okay, that's great. Comes out with just like a fountain drink of Coke. Whoops. I thought, whoopsies.

I was like, oh, we really prefer something in a can. Comes back with a non-alcoholic budweiser like oh yeah this will hit the spot it was uh what brand is that non-alcoholic is actually budweiser it had the budweiser logo on it oh really they make their own oh okay so i was like okay you don't have cans of anything else or whatever so we're playing in that meanwhile uh i think scott sell he also doesn't want to drink he just rocks the the fountain drink dr pepper it looks like what you got in like pizza hut like a pizza hut buffet cup yeah he's just playing in that all day like you can't see through it's like a clear it's red it's like the red cups oh yes those are awesome yeah huge cup like 24 ounce

cups and he's just playing competitive pickleball with this thing I mean at least halfway full like a tsunami like like going back Like one of those half pipe that has like a like surfboard on it kind of things That's why I imagine that things slosh around just every time I look at him I would just laugh because everyone else has a can everyone's got a can and a koozie but Scott Scott's huge Scott's committed to the game I love it. Is your hand freezing? He's like, oh yeah. Because I mean, there's ice in it. I'm like, how are you playing with this?

It was so funny. Isaac and I found a little trick because they gave you koozies. You just lodge two of your fingers in between the can and the koozie, and then you're pretty mobile. You're not like holding a can anymore. It's like an extension of your hand. It's like a can. It's like you have two paddles, basically. At this point.

That was fun. We end up playing Scott and our other buddy Aaron in the championship like an extension of your hand. It's like a can. It's like you have two paddles, basically, at this point. Oh, interesting. That was fun. We ended up playing Scott and our other buddy Aaron in the championship game. And really intense game. It's only one game to 11 for the championship game. So like very intense. Every point is very important.

We're at the net. We're dinking. It's like really intense. And I could just hear Scott's eyes just sloshing around. It's like silent, except for Scott's eyes sloshing. It just kept taking me out of it oh it's funny that's amazing i mean no one else had the drink you know pretty much everyone else was just like drinking and i love i love the idea of like a super serious like that's

like one of the funniest scenarios for me is like a super serious competitive situation with like this really funny like twist to it but you have to wear a pinwheel cap or something. Yeah, like every time, like I can just imagine some guy being like, he didn't have his hand on the can. Like he didn't do it right. Like, you know, whatever. Yeah, I just, that's funny.

That's, oh well. Yeah, so I guess it did provide some humor to the day, but for the most part, it was just weird. Those first few games, I'm trying not to spill. I'm not playing as hard as I can. Right. But then once you get that first spill of non-alcoholic Budweiser down your leg, you're like, well, who cares now? Absolutely. Let's go for it. So then the rest of the day, I'm trying not to spill. I'm not playing as hard as I can. Right. But then once you get that first spill of non-alcoholic Budweiser down your leg, you're like, well, who cares now?

Absolutely. Let's go for it. So then the rest of the day, I mean, I'm going everywhere. I got, I got just whatever this liquid is all over me and it was fine, but we ended up winning and we got a little trophy. Oh yeah. I showed it to you this morning. Yeah.

That makes more sense now. Can and hand. Can and hand. That's so funny. Cause like pickleball is not the right sport to play can and hand. Like so many sports like tailgating sports. That's what you do. Yeah.

Cornhole, ladder, golf, whatever. Beer, Frisbee. Yeah. The beer Frisbee. You're supposed to have something in your hand, right? Can jam. Yeah. Yeah.

You're supposed to because it's like part of it. Yeah. So that's funny. NASCAR. NASCAR is a big one. Yeah. Yeah. Steer with your knee and shift with your right hand.

Beer in your left hand. Man. NASCAR is like one of those random sports that I think I would really get into if I That's a big one. Yeah. Yeah. Steer with your knee and shift with your right hand, beer in your left hand. Man. NASCAR is like one of those random sports that I think I would really get into if I ever went to a live race. Have you ever been to a live race of NASCAR? No. I hear it's like really cool. Like you can get like the,

you can get like headphones and you can like tune into like all the different drivers. You can hear like them strategizing and stuff. Oh, that's cool. And so I think, yeah, that's kind of like, I would love that for any sport yeah why don't we have that

for baseball or football like how cool would that be if you could hear like patrick mahomes and andy reed like calling the plays back and forth and stuff dang wouldn't that be so cool what if oh that's like a viewing experience of the future it'd have to be at home like at home on like a 10 second delay or something yeah right you get to hear the play i think it'd be awesome oh my gosh why are we doing that seriously it'd be awesome. Oh my gosh. Why are we doing that? Seriously? It'd be so fun. Like, and we would never understand what they're saying. You know,

why banana? Why banana? 34. Zebra post. Yeah. Cool. I don't know, but look at this.

It sounds like a pass play. Let's watch. But every once in a while, like their plays are like these really simple names, like the, um, Ferrari, right?

Like, Oh, we know what's happening here. That's a bigger Mayfield one. No, no. That's where my homes went in motion. It was the first time when he went in motion. Oh, it was.

And we threw that touchdown to DeMarcus Robinson. Oh, OK. Pretty sure that was Ferrari, right? Yeah. And the Hungry Pig, right? Or Hungry Pig. Yeah. The one that Don Taripo or 300 some pound line jumped over and through it back in the

day. The Rose Bowl one. Like those are the ones you're like, what's about to happen i think our plays are named uh like uh like bulls are you ever like notice like bulls you ever watch bull riding or anything not often but i'm into this i do when i go to my grandpa's house i just somehow i mean over the past 20 years that i've been somewhat paying attention to bull right i'm like i've never seen the same name how are they still coming up with bull name i guess it's kind of course names too yes it's just like they're just throwing nouns together but they haven't repeated yet right sometimes they're like full sentences for horses

it's like coming down the pipe yeah wow yeah right have you seen that famous uh horse race where the horse's name is hoof and then the second name is hearted it's like so he's like here he comes who farted who farted oh first place who farted wow no i haven't but that's amazing it's fun it's kind of funny it's kind of goofy yeah see more butts see more butts yeah that's good ben dover you get it yeah yeah yeah cool we're talking about oh yeah just pickleball. So yeah, that was kind of a fun little thing of my week. Yeah. You have any little fun? What do you got? Any vibes in your week? Oh, I got some vibes, dude. This is actually something I think

I'm going to try to open up to the audience, the listeners. Random. Very random, but I decided this week just to start shaving every single day. Shaving my face. Sorry, specifically. Every single day. I probably shouldn't say this on the podcast. Never mind. shaving every single day shaving my face sorry specifically um every single day i um i probably

shouldn't say this on the podcast never mind one time well yeah never mind i guess but this is this is always when the best stuff comes out you're like i don't know maybe yeah let's go it's really not that bad it's just i think that whatever i'm just gonna say one time we're having this conversation it's like me isaac we were in mixed company in my old living room and we were talking about laser hair removal because i was talking this is like i think i talked about the podcast i was like looking and getting on my face yeah like so tired shaving right and one of the girls in the group was like oh i get laser hair removal and poor isaac poor you know 19 year old isaac goes, Oh, where? I'm like, dude, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't do that.

Oh, Isaac. I'm just like looking at him. Just like, like the Michael Scott. I'm like, I'll kill you. Oh, where do you get it? That's so interesting. Oh my goodness. We never told you that story.

No, it's amazing. Oh, because he's so innocent and like sweet about it like and like interested in this girl like really which i mean show me i've never been in that exact same scenario but i was like i think i know not to ask and yeah just instantly oh cool where that's like that's like kind of a personal thing even if it is your legs or something it's like i don't know it's still like oh it's a little bit awkward to be like cool let me see yeah yeah yeah oh you can't even tell like uh yeah i've gotten into trouble this before like oh you said surgery oh where yeah oh yeah like oh what like oh no i think well it looks great there was one time like I hung out with

the youth group kid cause his mom was like having some procedure or something. And I was like, what's, what's going on with your mom? Oh, just have a procedure. And Catherine later on was like, Brad, you shouldn't ask that. Like you, that's like a little bit past the line. And I was like, procedure. Okay. That doesn't sound too bad. Like what kind? Like did they, did she go under? Yeah. Yeah. She's like, Brad, don't say that. Like, I don. Like what kind? Like, did they, did she go under? Is she fine? Yeah. Yeah. She's like, Brad, don't say that.

Like, I don't remember what the answer was, but anyway, maybe it was like a normal thing. I truly don't know. Like, but of course I felt so bad for saying it. So if you're out there, just anything medical,

just leave it alone. Like, Oh, I'm going to the doctor. Oh really? What's wrong? It's like, Nope,

don't, you seem fine. That's the worst. Like, are you worried? Yeah. Are you scared about it or is it cool? Yeah. So anyway, been shaving my face. I don't, and I, I, I have not very, I'm follically challenged on my face, so I don't need to shave my face more than probably once every three or four days. And people would never know the difference. Um, but I been shaving my face every day. I don't know why, but I kind of like it. It's kind of nice.

Okay. And so I've decided that I think it'd be fun if Jake and I had some new habits that we just tried out just for, just like just for a week or two. Like, and so if you're out there in the ghost nation and you have an idea for a fun habit, please,

please don't make it like something silly well it can be silly but not like don't don't make us like depressed with our lives no i'd say leave a youtube comment that way you're accountable to you have to leave it publicly there you go you know and you can comment of something you'd like to see brad and i try for just seven days and yeah and yeah if you've it maybe it's something that you believe in yourself like uh well i'm not gonna even give examples but like something that you really enjoy. Like, I've been doing this and I really like it. Whether it's like...

I brush my teeth every day. Sure. Okay, that's a good idea. Yeah, we could try that. Okay, brushing your front and back. Teeth? Of them. Or just the back.

Just the back. Just the back. That's a fun name. Imagine what it would look like. Yikes. Oh, where? Just the back. Just the back you imagine what it'd look like yeah yikes oh where just the back just the back procedure just the back anyway so if you're out there and you would like to throw your hat in the ring as far as things that we could do try out um we can try it out so that's fun i think one proposition i don't know if this is a seven day thing, but just like a fun little thing for us.

Both of us are pretty follicly challenged. Yeah. What if we found some like facial hair growth thing? We both took it. I've always thought like, what would happen if we put Rogaine on our faces? Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I don't know what would happen. Oh, we should, we should like, surely there's like some like hokey product out there on Amazon. It's like grow your facial hair fast. We're going to have so many like people like somewhat wrapped up in MLMs being like,

now I know this is going to sound out there, but just try this. Yeah. My cousin did it. You know, it's always like, it's always somebody a little bit distant. It's not you or you and your immediate family. This guy with the high school with has tried it and like, he's seeing amazing results. Now I Googled it and it seems like people are like kind of burning their face a lot from it. Well, you know, that was, that was the round before they fixed that they fix that now they've been working with really high end doctors from the uh the himalayan mountains and and we're not technically fda approved but you'd be surprised how much stuff isn't you know an fda i mean don't

even give me star fda you don't need that stuff so. Big, big acronym. I'm not a big fan of big acronym. No, no, no big ag, no big ac. You don't need it. So. I think it'd be fun. Because I think a lot of guys, we are, not only are we follicle challenged, I'd be willing to say we're a little jawline challenged. We could use a little definition to our chin bone.

Yeah. Mandible. Yeah. We need some mandible help. It would help if hair helped like align it. Yes. So like, we'd be like, there it is, girls. There we are, baby.

And then Hattie, if I was like jaw, like putting my jaw, like clenching it, like she would know right now. She's just like, oh, dad, you're so silly. I know I'm mad. So that's a good idea. Thank you. So anyway, we're going to do that and we're going to try to develop some habits. Maybe we'll do like a habit of the week for a while or something. I don't know. Yeah, I think it'd be fun. We get like maybe some ghosties in on it too. Let them know what we're going to do that and we're going to try to develop some habits. Maybe we'll do like a habit of the week for a while or something.

I don't know. Yeah, I think it'd be fun. We get like maybe some go season on it to let them know what we're going to be doing. Like I'm almost, I'm almost willing to do anything within reason for a week. Like if somebody is like, you should try to take up jogging. I'll jog every day for a week. I would love to. Yeah.

To jog for just a week. Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying. Like I'll do anything for a week. Like eat only salads. Okay. For a week. Yeah. That might be harder for you but juice cleanse yeah sure for a week yeah for a week yeah no doubt i'll do i'll do anything for a week we could share a juicer we live six minutes apart

that'd be fun we just eat every meal together for seven days hey maybe that's part of i'm juicing here never eat never eat a meal alone for a week oh i mean that's kind of fun that's kind of a fun challenge i eat a lot of meals alone i kind of like it though i do too dang yeah don't give us that one don't give us that they don't they redacted i'm juicing here i'm juice we might have a juicer okay might how come he has a juice harrison probably has one too you know him yeah he's got a lot of he surprises things that like a lot of just like rectangular things in our kitchen like i'll just leave it at that just a lot of things you know a lot of things that, like, a lot of just, like, rectangular things in our kitchen. No, just leave it at that.

Just a lot of things, you know, a lot of things with some shape to them. Yeah, okay, good. He's also got some shape to him. This morning, we had a little workout. Yeah. I had to dip out a little early because I needed to be at Trey's house, and Harrison wasn't working until 1, and Isaac, you know, wasn't working until I think you dragged him to Leavenworth. So I texted him and he i was like okay are you free now and he's like i am very free i'm like okay i don't think you've been doing

much today buddy uh so i kind of dipped out early and i went and showered got ready and i like i'm running out the door and i guess in that time uh harrison quickly showered and as i'm out the door he's like jake jake he's still in his towel in his bare feet, runs out in the garage, which is the workshop. And we saw dust everywhere all over his feet. And he's like, dude,

great workout, man. He just gives me a hug. His back is just soaking wet. But I gave him a big old hug. It was nice, brother. Yeah. Yeah. He's a great guy.

We spent some good time together, had some good vibes. Good vibes. Good vibes, dude. He's getting into the vibes. It's cracking me up, man's if you're not following him it's hello my friend underscore it's been a while and serious vibes going on serious vibes he's got an idea for a vibe van where the van design was good yeah that was fun that was pretty sweet the designs are kind of random but he like like it doesn't say i don't know if he realizes, like, he doesn't think

they're at random. Maybe, maybe he does. I don't know. Oh, they crack me up, man. Check it out. But we've had a lot of fun together lately. So yeah. Where did the story start?

It wasn't supposed to be about Harrison hugging me this morning. I just kind of remembered that as I started shaving habits, jogging, maybe got a lot of body on him. You said something else.

So we've been going to this new church, Southern Baptist Church, the next Baptist. And, uh, it's, it's a more traditional church. Did you grow up going to Southern Baptist? Okay. Yeah. So it's like, I mean, I love it because there's like, I've always wanted to go to church that has a, like a good group of people my age, but then a lot of people in stages above me that I can learn from. And these, this church definitely has some older people in it, which is fun. Yeah. Yeah. Um, if they listen to the podcast, they would be the oldest ones. Let's just put it that way. Um, but it's awesome. It's so fun to like, in like, they're pretty responsive to like, you know,

like they'll clap every once in a while and they'll get into it. Like, you know, whatever. It's, it's fun. It's, it's great. Um, and I really really enjoy it but at the end of the service on sunday they recognized this pastor who was retiring after 56 years so it's like an older man himself and he's 75 years and like you know they recognized him talked about how great he was he was like an associate pastor or something at this point he wasn't like leading or pastoring like preaching anyway um and at the end of it everyone like gave him a standing ovation it was great it was great and then it kind of died down we were still standing up and um the main pastor was like and to bless you and he had this envelope in his hand he's like we decided we would give you a trip

and he put like put it out to them and he goes to branson missouri let's go and you should have heard the old people roar dude it was like it was, it was like, it was like LeBron was in the house or something. It's like Ellen's like 10 days of giveaways or whatever she does. It was like, they got a new car. Like it was like, oh my gosh, the ball. Like whatever you find out later, the church is like coming under fire for like, where is this tithe money going? A trip to Branson?

I don't know about that. We need to be held a little more accountable. Just give and serve away. I just, I like, just because we have such ties to Branson, we know it so well. Like, it's just such a unique, funny, hilarious place. But the, the, the, the like immediate energy, whenever he said the word Branson, like people erupted. It was amazing.

That's awesome. That's a good church. Oh, it's a great, you know, you're a good company. You know, you're, you're the right place. Yeah. If there's just as excited about Branson as you still are. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. I freaking love Branson. I signed up for a pickleball tournament, Branson. Yeah. And, uh, in the spring, excited to go down there. Nice. See some folks. Good. Yeah. No, that's awesome. That's a, that'd be a good church. How long have you been going there? Oh, you know, me terrible dates, maybe two months, maybe four. I don't know. I'm so bad. That stuff.

That's crazy. I'm so that's, that, that's my crazy thing that like, you can't, I can't fathom how you don't know the brand of, you know, X, Y, Z. I don't know. I don't know if I hung out with you a week ago or a month ago when we talked about this thing. Like I'm so bad with that. Huh? Like, and I'll always tell people stories and be like, yeah, um, you know, a few, yeah, I'll be like, yeah, a few days ago. And then I'll be like, actually it was more like six months ago. I think, I don't really know. I think I've been last winter.

Days go by quick, I guess. I truly, I don't know. Like, and I'm, I'm so bad at knowing birthdays and all that. Like today's January something 21st. Wow. Is that right? No, you're up by six days. I don't even something. 21st. Wow. Is that right? No, you're up by six days.

I don't even know which way I'm off. 27th. I think. Oh yeah. It's almost the end of January. See, that's like January 15th. Almost had it.

Right. Almost had it. I'm pretty sure it's on the 15th, but yeah. Okay. I knew that. Cause it's the end of the month. Cause that's when Catherine and I have been doing our date nights is like,

we do it at the end of the month to kind of review the month behind, do the take goals for the month ahead. So anyway, I tried to get something going a couple of weeks ago. This was recently, I would say 12 days ago to be exact. This is January 15th. That, that is the 15th.

Now we're talking. Yeah. This was recently after Biden's inauguration. Okay. This wasn't really on my mind, but I'm in the Chick-fil-A drive-thru with Isaac. And I can't remember the story exactly, because like I said, 12 days ago. But I asked for something and it didn't quite have it. He's like, oh, we don't have that anymore.

And I go, thanks, Biden. It's kind of like, you know obama thing silence and i was like isaac's in the car so like this would be kind of funny if i if i don't break the silence so just kept it kept it and he didn't say anything for like that long really so oh this is the drive-thru yeah well this is a person out chick-fil-a is just still sending people out there 25 degrees oh yeah they're like doing the ipad thing still on the ipad thing so this is a guy right outside yeah i should have said that for me this is a this is a human three feet away from this guy that's freezing you're just making feel purposely

uncomfortable i i was just trying to get it going you jerk you know i said the same thing you know no matter what trump's america yeah right what are we gonna do scott toilet paper didn't used to be like this right so uh that's not a thing yet not don't say thanks biden yeah i think not a thing maybe it's just it doesn't roll off the tongue right maybe you gotta be like oh jeepers joe you think people would know what you're talking about if you say that that just just sounds like you're from Roach, Missouri. Ah, jeepers, Joe. Gas is $3.24 an hour.

Ah, jeepers, Joe. Jeepers, Joe. Ah, bless. Bless, Biden. Bless, Biden. Yeah, that's what you got to say. Oh, bless, Biden. If you say it in a Southern accent, they'll know you're not Democrat.

So you're fine. Oh, bless, Biden. Oh, bless, Biden. I'll tell you, I tried that and went 0 for 1. Maybe it would work better at a Taco Bell or McDonald's, not Chick-fil-A, you know, Chick-fil-A. They're a little more red in a number of ways. Exactly.

That's funny. Well, we'll get something else started. It doesn't work. OK. A little PSA for everyone out there. Check your voicemails. And by voicemails, I mean if you have an iPhone, check what your outgoing voicemail message is.

Why? My dad calls me this week. He said i just lost a bit to your grandpa said your grandpa tried to call yesterday and he was telling me that your voicemail said that you can't come to the phone because you're on family vacation and i was like grandpa there's no way what like you're you're losing your mind i'm gonna call Jake. And so he calls me and that was true. And so I look at my voicemail and somehow, cause I always have for being a pretty zany guy, I have the default voicemail. Like you have reached four one seven. Yeah.

Leave a message after the beep, but it had defaulted back to the last time I had a custom greeting, which was 2015. And I said, this is Jake Triplett with K-Life Ministries. Unfortunately, I can't come to the phone because I'm on family vacation this week, but I'll get back to you on, you know, which was 2015. And I said, this is Jake Triplett with K-Life Ministries. Unfortunately, I can't come to the phone because I'm on family vacation this week, but I'll get back to you on August, whatever. So it's somehow just magically my phone did that.

Really? And who knows how many people thought I was on vacation last week. I had no idea. Oh man. So it's just a PSA. Just who knows what your phone is saying. I like the idea of your phone, just like pulling a prank on you and like having an old voice or voice message from you. Like,

uh, remember Isaac's back in the day. Do you remember? Maybe you don't know. I remember calling him. He was like 15 years old. Yeah. I,

that's all I remember about it now. I can't remember. I think he just sounded really mad. He was like, hi, this is Isaac. Uh, you leave a message.

And then he kind of sounded mad even when he said bye. He's like, bye. Something like that. It was like so bad. But I like the idea when you went to change your voice memo or voice message, gosh, your voicemail message, did you have to enter in your password

or anything like that? No. I like the idea of pranking some people on their phones. like if you ever have their phone just like you do a custom greeting like hey can i can i make a call on your phone you're like calling somebody or like or like do this because people don't really need you don't need to borrow somebody's phone just to call like hey i can't find my phone can i use yours to try to call it yeah you know whatever and then after you can't find it, you're in the other rooms like looking for it. You leave a message. Yabba dabba doo.

I can't pick up the phone for you, but you can make my day. What do you say? Leave a number after the beep. I like that. I like that. Something like that. Yeah. If you do that, let us know because I think that'd be really funny.

It's a fun little prank. Yeah. Yeah. It's harmless for the most part. My friend Paige Mayfield back today former sponsor of the pod her voicemail message used to be like hey sorry i couldn't come to the phone just give me a call back when you get this and it like sounds normal like the cadence of it and then you like realize you're like wait give me a call back after you after i get this no i'm like

you give me a call yeah i left you the voice i'm i called you that's what i was gonna say what do i say now okay no i No, I'm not good. No. Yeah. You call me. I always thought that was pretty good. That's funny. Hey, sorry. I could come to the phone.

Just give me a call back when you get this. Good stuff. That's good. I like that. So yeah, just PSA. Check your bees. Okay. I have another PSA if we're going on that trend.

PSA. Don't be a Karen in life. We all know. Don't be a Karen in life, but try a little bit if you ever feel like you're unjustly treated and I'll I'll expand on this um shutter stock you ever heard of it yeah I don't even know if this is unjustly treated it was me being bad actually but I had I signed up for like a uh like month for free with them actually I think it was for a t-shirt one of you just drinks just drinks guy like the little like soap truck the little like signed up for that and then accidentally like didn't you know it's classic like didn't uh cancel it and so got charged for like a year-long subscription which was like 30 a month

and i was pretty frustrated and i was like i'm gonna cancel that and like every month just kept forgetting because they they did it like by year but they still charged me month by month. I don't know really how that works, but I just contacted them and I was just like, Hey, I haven't used this really at all. Um, can I just cancel my account? And first of all, it was like so hard to cancel. Like most accounts you can just go on and just cancel right away. This one, you had to like click multiple different things.

Like if you Google cancel shutterstock account, the first thing that pops up is a page in portuguese it's like you're trying to have like this problem with people and so i was like a little bit feisty with them i was like i'm trying to cancel and they're like okay since you're canceling early it's going to be a hundred dollars cancellation whoa and i'm like no i just i just said is this country club no yeah and like like i said don't be a karen i think there's a boundary here, a line that you shouldn't cross. But I just literally responded, okay, can I not pay that? I was like, can you just not charge that to me? And they're like, let me see.

Okay, it looks like you only downloaded stuff one other month, so we'll just make it $21 cancellation fee. And I was like, I don't want to pay any of the cancellation fee. I was like, I understand that I should have canceled earlier. It was kind of hard to cancel whatever. And then they kept being more and more difficult. And so I kept being like, since this is taking a long time, do you mind just like not charging me at all?

Like, can you just refund me all my money? Maybe you're not understanding. I don't want to pay anything now. So I was like, yeah, and it was, it was kind of like, okay, the worst customer service you are, the more I'm going to demand. And eventually I was just like, okay, I only used it one other month. So can you just not charge me for any of the other months? And they're like, okay, I have to escalate this to my manager.

And it turns out they said, okay, you're good. We'll waive all that money. This is why escalators are great. I know. I, so PSA out there, don't just, don't just like be like, it's a hundred dollars. It's like, that stinks. That's the dumb system. Fight back. Yeah. A little bit. Be respectful. Big shutter. Take them down. Big shutter. Yeah, that's right. Big tech shutters. Big, big stock photo. Yeah. They're the, they're the eight K eight K camera people.

They're the people have the eight K cameraK camera. They have the shutter speed. Anyway, yeah, that's just a little PSA for you. Hey, PSA for you, Brad. Found a new show. Tell me. It's not that new, but once again, it's new to me. I like it. And it's called Dead to Me.

You ever seen that? Oh, no. What is that? I've heard of that. Netflix original. Okay. I have a fun little anecdote to tell you about that story. There's a young boy, or about that... Yeah, I got you.

Dang it. Let's just start this podcast over. We're doing no edits, so we just got to start over. Love you, Fatty. Intro music. All right. Get some vibes. All right.

A few years ago, I am in Los Angeles, California. Cool. Right? Yeah. There's vibes in there that is vibe central baby palm tree vibes oh yeah i tell you where there's a lot of vibes in los angeles cheesecake factory out of all places in los angeles let's go to the cheesecake factory dude get some oreo cheesecake vibes dude so i am at dinner with my friend Caleb, who, coincidentally enough, another fun little anecdote for you. About two weeks ago, Harrison at the breakfast table, we're sharing some cereal, and he's on his computer and he goes. Sharing some cereal?

Yeah, same box. Same box, different bowls. Different bowls, of course. Good for you, okay. Of course. And he turns his computer over and he's like, is it just me or does this dude's smile look a little weird? And I go, I know that guy.

Are you messing with me? What? And he's like, well, no, I just think this dude's smile is weird. I was like, that's my friend Caleb. So it's kind of weird. How did he find him? He was like, it was like a, just like he was about to buy this jacket that he was like modeling.

Oh, this guy's a model. This guy's a model. Whoa. That's crazy. So me and the model go to the Cheesecake Factory a few years ago. Nice. And. He just gets strawberries for dessert. Because he's a a model he's trying to figure not not carrots oh my gosh

yeah yeah too much sugar and carrots this is my one and only time i've ever gone to the cheesecake factory so i don't know if this is how they are okay but we sat very close to the people next to us very close proximity seating kind of a normal thing there so we kind of felt like we couldn't help but just like get to the people next to us it's like a normal thing there. So we kind of felt like we couldn't help but just like get to know the people next to us. It's like a mother and a son. So we kind of asked them like, are you guys from around here? Know where this visiting? Oh, cool. What are you visiting for?

I like Fayetteville people. Sure. Although I was in Black Dog the other day.

Yeah. Next time you go to Black Dog, feel their shirts. Okay. They're so soft that I asked them. You just go up to the barista and like, what do we got here? That's literally what I did.

So I want to get whoever they use they're awesome okay okay okay cool so yeah um sorry be unlimited you're done yeah you had your chance you should have emerged on black dog that's right yeah dead to me good show okay good to know uh i just have one new thing and it's it's uh houseplants i know you guys did like a little video on oh yeah it's my favorite videos we did k Catherine's not super into it by any means. House plants.

She's super into your videos, of course. Um, but she, there's a, there's a house plant called the fiddle leaf fig. Yes. Um, I think that's yeah. Fiddle leaf fig. And it was like dying in our house and all of a sudden it's like thriving and she's like so proud of it. And like, seriously, there's some great vibes and i'm not even joking you just said vibes but she told me

and this is gonna make her sound crazy and i don't know if she really does this like it was like one of those things where i couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or not kind of like you did you said something the other night and i was like i are you serious or joking oh yeah what was i talking about you really thought i was joking i'm like no i was like i don't believe you what were we talking about it's something pretty funny i think you're like i was like no you don't no or whatever anyway try to think of that um but she said yeah if you talk like incur if you say encouraging words to the plants no it helps them grow no i was like a no way do you believe that b no way do you do that and i don't know if she does i've never heard her but she told me that and it was like after like you know good things are happening

this plant and i'm like i mean you can't argue with results but you can't argue with talking to non-sentient things i think so she does do this thing where she like simulates wind to like strengthen which no no this kind of makes sense because like because like if you she like moves I think so. She does do this thing where she simulates wind to strengthen. No, no, this kind of makes sense. Because if she moves them back and forth to strengthen the roots or whatever of the plant. She's walking on Catherine with a couple of throw pillows. She's putting out a fire. It looks like Hattie's Cleopatra.

She's got these palm branches waving to fan her down. No, she's... But yeah, she does simulate wind. But i've never heard her talk to it but talking to plants what would you say to a plant to encourage it like hey let it grow yeah let it grow um i don't know you're you're sexy and you grow it yeah i'll just what other songs um i don't know i'm just trying to think of um greg peterson uh parodies like the farm stuff he's done yeah um i don't know just uh hey you're you're good looking good looking plant just get up get up i think i think i do tough love love them up hey you look awful although you would look at all the other plants. No, that's the whole they're doing great wilt that bad boy

not well, you know, certainly every player is different. You got to coach them different. That would be a great study actually like you know how back in the day you had to do a science fair or something like yeah, like I would love to have somebody be like apparently if you talk nice and like they have videos of people being like you suck.

You're the worst. You will never grow past three feet. You'll never be as good as your brother and like you have this of people being like you suck you're the worst you will never grow past three feet you'll never be as good as your brother and like you have this other one be like hey i just whatever you do i'm here for you i believe in you i'm gonna get some vibes up in your fertilizer you got some vibes up in here you're gonna feel it yeah no no doubt you're gonna take that sunlight you're gonna photosynthesize it yeah synthesize that bad boy yeah you're good i believe in you i'm always believing you. I'm proud of you. And then you just see what happens. I've always believed in you. Vitamin D baby. Oh, D. Oh, vitamin D dude. Yeah. I think if you're out there, we have a few young listeners that

probably are going to do science projects. Yes. That would be an acceptable one to do. Go for the plan affirmation project. No one else in your class is doing it. I promise the PAP. Yeah. Did you do do do you remember your science fair project i i don't remember science fair we were required to do national history day that was our like okay big project thing what'd you do for that did it twice had some success with it did you get held back or i was a big kid the second time around sixth grade i was the biggest kid in class and I crushed it. No, I did one on Coca-Cola and I did one on the Atom Bomb. Okay. Dropping it on Hiroshima.

I think Coca-Cola sounds a little bit more fun. I think we got further in the state competition. Oh, wow. With Coca-Cola. You went into the competition. Yeah. Good for you. It was like me and uh couple

my gifted buddies oh okay it's a gifted thing let me tell you a little gifted thing that's cool yeah just like the globalization of coke that was what it's called seventh grade i'm pretty sure you had pablo escobar on there yes we had i did watch about half of a new netflix documentary called crack okay learned a little bit about cocaine. Oh, interesting. It was a good, sorry. Well, before we started, Isaac and I were both like, whoa. What's happening there? Sorry. Can you hear it now? Oh, that's crazy. So it is your cord.

Yeah. Huh. It's artisanal. Sorry. Oh, we were like, is crack the same? I don't know enough about drugs. I learned, Brad. They're a little different. Or like a different way of consuming it or something. I think crack, I didn't know.

I was going to put myself on the spot with this. Crack is like a different, it doesn't have salt in it or something. It's like a different form of it that can be smoked. Okay. The more you know. The more you know. PSA, you guys. That made me think, we were talking about the tiger documentary last week.

Great documentary. Yeah, it's awesome. Finished it up. Bhagavan. You don't see him the whole time. There's no Tigers. That's the thing about Tiger Techs. But two other HBO sports documentaries that I really liked.

Andre the Giant has a really good one. You know who that is? The guy from Princess Bride. Anybody want a peanut? Yeah. Yeah, he was like a professional wrestler back in the day. Okay. That was kind of crazy because he's just like this literal giant.

And then there's one called The Scheme. Maybe I talked about it on the podcast, but very, very interesting. It's about college basketball players getting paid. Oh, that sounds good. Yeah. It's that one. I think you really liked that one. So check those out.

I love getting paid. I think, I know you were like, yeah, we just finished up, you know, this, so we don't really know what to watch. And I was trying to think of things to tell you. That's my things. Okay. So when I'm done being dead to me, I'll scheme it up. Yeah. Good for you.

Scheme it up. Cool. One thing I wrote down was just a dry shower. Remember we talked about that? Yes. Yes. This is just kind of funny. Brad was telling me about, or I think he was trying to sell.

I already knew that Brad was going on these walks. We talked about it on the podcast. But I think Isaac didn't know. Yeah. And Brad's like, no, no. Seriously, I love walking to McLean's. And Isaac's like, I would never walk somewhere that far. Like, why wouldn't you drive?

Brad's like, it's great. Like, you're not distracted. You're not on your phone. You're just walking. Yeah. I'm like, oh, like a dry shower. Because that's how I feel when I'm in the shower. Like, my phone isn't with me.

I can, like, think. Right. And Brad's like, is that a thing? Is that a thing? A dry shower? I'm like, I don't think so, but it should be. What did you say? You punish someone if they're in trouble? Hey,

go take a dry shower. Then what were we saying? You just have to go stand in the shower naked? Yeah, just like I think that would be about as demoralizing as a cubs just like being dry and naked in

a place is just like this is not good this is not what you want in life like I don't like this so cold yeah just like standing on the porcelain floors like I think you'd be extra cold because like your brain almost like classical conditioning.

It's used to like, once I'm naked, once I stay in here, I'm about to get warm. Sure. But now I'm not. And like, I'm extra cold. Yeah. That's a good point. I, yeah, I just, I love the whole idea of like, and then somebody walks in and it's like, tries to go to the bathroom. It's like, whoa, whoa, don't flush. Like, come on. You know, like you're, yeah, but maybe, maybe that's a thing. So let us know, what are other dry showers you take throughout the week?

It could be driving like with no music. Yeah. Like just driving in silence. That's a dry shower. Okay. Yeah. Going on a walk.

Yeah. Yeah. Driving is the right answer for a lot of people and unfortunately, I'm on my phone way too much while I drive, which judge me all you want,

but it's bad. But, but that's why I like walking is cause I am not on my phone. It's harder for me to walk and be on my phone than it is for me to drive to be on my phone, which maybe that tells you too much about how good cars are these days. But, um, what do you think about, I saw this on Facebook marketplace, the blue market the other day. Um, what, it was, it was just a big slab of like wood and it just said DIY coffee table, I guess. What do you think about me? Uh, just selling DIY dining tables,

DIY chair, DIY cutting board, and just like, just a bunch of wood. It was just like a rough slab of wood that was like, this would be, and the point was like, this would be great for, you know, DIY projects and stuff. Like you could do whatever, but it just cracked me up. point was like this would be great for you know diy projects and stuff like you could do whatever but it just cracked me up it was like yeah it'd be like a diy car and it's just like a carburetor and a motor and like a transmission the description is just like i promise this is everything you need it's in there right you can do it i just love the idea of like yeah i'll just charge you know half price and it's diy yeah i mean once you slap diy on it i mean you can make anything diy just sell like i don't know diy millionaire and it's just like an an ebook on investing yeah it's like no it's in there yeah you could be a millionaire all you

gotta do is diy you just gotta do yourself yeah i like it yeah just anything like that diy bicycle and you just have all the spokes and no they'll be all the spokes all the spokes why do i go with spokes you know anyway just diy so be on the lookout for our newest product at ellis custom creations.com the diy uh bedroom set yeah just diy. It's just a huge piece of wood. You set drinks on this. We're just like a seed to a tree. DIY textbook. Yeah, yeah.

You spend enough time and energy on this. You can grow this into a tree, chop it down, mill it, log it, all that. Convert it into paper. Yeah. Print it. Do you even know how paper is made? Wrong! It's nitrogen! Yeah. Brad, should we get into some five it into paper yeah print it do you even know how paper is made wrong it's nitrogen yeah anyway uh brad should we get some five memos dude oh let's get some voice vibos dude

But anyway, I love the pod. You Make Mondays Meaningful, and I actually look forward to them now. So thank you. Jake, if you could just say rural and juror as often as possible, it makes me cry laugh every time. So thank you. No way.

No way every time so thank you no way every time uh i am a teacher and i love to ask my four and five year old students if they could fill a pool an in-ground pool with anything what would they fill their pool with i have always said jello because i think that would just be a fun time uh what would you put in your pool also who would you invite to your pool party uh thank you so much bye-bye pool party vibes dude that's nice vibes good vibes oregon dude nice oregon's great w vibes or slap different um yeah that kind of like weirdly like scares me thinking about putting different things in the pool like a pool full of jello. I'm a big boy.

I'm not buoyant. You know, I jump in there. I'm not coming back up. Yeah, it's like a nasty foam pit at gymnastics. Exactly. Need a little help out here. Yeah, that thing better be like three feet or less. You know, I don't want to get too deep in there.

No, yeah, definitely don't dive in the jello. Spread out. I'm just imagining the sound of like a belly flop in jello. Like, oh. Ow! Oh, that'd be hilarious. Like, here I go! Hattie's on the side.

Yay, Dad! Is that what she would say? Yeah. You know, that's from Robin Hood, I think. There's like a little turtle. And they're like doing some kind of race or something. Or maybe it's the archery. He hits it and the little turtle goes, yay, dad.

Justin, put it in. We'll find it. Anyway, I don't know what I feel. Dr. Pepper, non-sticky Dr. Pepper. They make that. Yeah. It's like non-alcoholic beer. Yeah.

Budweiser, I think, makes a version of it. Non-sticky Dr. Pepper. Uh-huh. Even if it it's a little sticky like there's a shower right outside i think sure that could be fun would i like that because then i'd be like drinking the dr pepper i'd want to but then i also be like there's a lot of people over there it looks like he might have peed in this dr pepper you have kids at your pool party oh i think so think so. I think it's just all inclusive. Like, hey, come on. It's a neighborhood party. It's all inclusive. I'm bringing the Good Samaritan that found my wallet. I'm bringing Peter, you know, whoever. It's all inclusive.

Patrick Mahomes is going to be there with his child. He's got a child coming. He doesn't know to not pee in the Dr. Pepper pool. Yeah, she does. Sorry. Yes. Brittany posted today. I love her already. Something like like that you don't that's so interesting about like moms feel like moms before they're actually like the mom the baby's born they have a large emotional capacity and guys are just like i have no i mean obviously

have a little bit of emotional connection but then like you don't feel like a dad yet and it's like whoa i'm a dad now and the mom's like i know i've been trying to tell you this for nine months so um anyway dr pepper's my answer i think i would put uh what i put in my pool probably juice excuse me like orange yeah okay Yeah. Okay. Orange juice? Apple. Apple juice? Yeah. Apple juice.

Apple juice actually would be kind of nice, I think. Really? Yeah. Because of like, why? I like apple juice. Okay. I think it's not that sticky. It's not that like tangy.

Like orange, like pH is off the charts. Yeah, true. It's veryy. Orange, pH is off the charts. Yeah, true. It's very acidic. Acidic juice. Yeah, I didn't even try. Did you try? No. Oh, that's perfect. That was amazing how that worked out.

Holy cow. Wow, I couldn't have wrote a joke that good. That is a stand-up joke right there. Dang, that's good. That's a very good joke. Dibs, dibs. Okay. Okay. I guess. You got Organ Dibs, dibs. Okay. Okay.

You could. But you could. If you're feeling it, if it's a good night. Like, all right, I'm going to say. Not from concentration. Yeah. Yeah. Where's my note?

Oh my gosh. As I was saying it, I was like, this is perfect. Oh my gosh. Acidic Jews. Dang, that's good. Yo, that's not planned. We did not plan that. Yeah, no, we don't need to talk about that any longer.

Thanks for Kaya. You just gave me a good joke for when I do my Jube it. Yeah, don't do that one in New York. I don't know. I won't. Somewhere up there. Okay, thank you for the voice memo. On to Lexi.

Hey guys, Lexi here. I just wanted to say that y'all are the first podcast I've ever listened to. And quite frankly, the only one that I listened to just because no one else measures up. You guys are super fun and I appreciate you. So my husband and I are very similar in a lot of ways, but we're also very different in a couple of funny ways. For example, he loves to watch super stressful action movies and I, on the other hand, am scared of Harry Potter. He also loves to listen to deep, powerful leadership or theological podcasts. And I enjoy laughing at Laffy Taffy jokes. We just talk to each other about it a lot, and it's just a fun part of our marriage.

So my question is, Brad, in what ways are you and Catherine different? How does that usually work? And Jake, in what ways would you want your future wife to be different from you? Thanks, guys. Stay awesome. Okay. That's a great question, Lexi. And that's cool that we're the only podcast she's ever listened to.

Yeah. Like any other one she listens from here, like, well, this is different than Jake and Brad. This isn't a podcast. This is like, it has a point to it. This is like educational. There's like bullet points and like structure. I don't know about this. I mentioned to you already, but I met with Clifton, one of my friends and, uh, like, yeah, guy, guy who goes to church with me. He's the one that had the AF, um, voice memo a few weeks back. Anyway. Uh, he mentioned like, yeah, I was getting your podcast

told the whole story about how he found you guys from Jake and Josh back in the day. Crazy. Anyway. Um, but it was like, yeah, I, I started listening and I just kept waiting for you guys to get to the point. You know, I was like, you guys are doing an introduction, you know, like you're going to eventually like have a segment or like have an interview or something. And then the episode just ended and he's like okay maybe that was just like a one-off like just like a goofy episode so i listened to the next one and then about 15 minutes of that one i was like maybe this is just what they do they just talk to each other so great description of our podcast and then it just ended i don't know i don't know maybe that's just what they do so seinfeld you know sein with less Jewish, but getting there.

Not this episode. So, okay. That's a fun question. I would like to hear your answer a little bit to the question about Catherine. I think it'd be kind of fun to hear your perspective on things. Catherine and I are similar. Obviously, like we have like the same pillars of like faith and just the importance of family. And you both agreed on the pillars at the front of your house.

You both were like, Ooh, I like these like that pillar right there. Yeah. White structurally. Catherine is just more, I think she's more passionate than I am about a lot of things. Like she,

she just has lots and lots of strong convictions towards things. And not that I don't, but not in the same, like, I really respect how much, how like, like confident and like, yeah, has the strong convictions she has towards plants, certain things. And she loves fiddle leaves. Um, uh, she's definitely healthier than I am. Um, not that she's like a health nut necessarily, but she's her, her lifestyle, her vibe style is a little bit healthier uh similarities we love we both like really enjoy just like getting to spend like chill time together like

i think we both she she definitely enjoys being at home more than i do i like getting out and doing stuff but the way that we both recharge and re-energize is just like hanging out and just like not doing a whole lot and just uh vibing. We're both very, very into the office. She knows quotes probably as well as I do. I gave you guys a trivia question last night and she got it first. She got it first. Yeah. So, and she's really funny.

I think that's where we have similar humors. Yeah. In a lot of ways. I'm trying to think. I think she's more, she's definitely, well, I don't know. Yeah. I think she's more free spirited as far as the Dave Ramsey free spirit nerd goes.

I'm definitely the more type a one out of the two of us. I'm the one that's always encouraging her to like make lists and like, you know, like have goals and have objectives. And she sees the value in that, but she's just not naturally wired in the same way. She's more like, I don't know.

She's just so much more caring and like in like doing the thing that's right in front of her kind of thing, rather than like the bigger picture kind of thing. Uh, she has bigger, that's kind of funny. I was going to say she has bigger aspirations than I do. She always is like looking for ways to improve our house. Like I'm way more like, just like, uh, that, that, that, you know, whatever that paneling over there is fine. Like whatever. She's like, no, like we should replace that, you know, whatever that paneling over there is fine. Like whatever. She's like, no, like we should replace that. You know? And I think there's a good balance of that. Like we, we balance each other out in that way. And he built her a deck. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She always wants to add. Yeah, exactly. Like she wants, she wants, she has like dreams of like, let's do a

deck. Let's do this. Let's do that. And I, I appreciate that because if not, then our house would be the exact same. Cause I, I don't care about that stuff. But then once we do it, it's like, Oh, this is nice. I'm glad we did this. Except for the couch. I'm not going to get over the couch. Couch is not a good choice. Um, I don't know.

Can you think of anything? Honestly, you did a pretty good job. I don't know if I'm going to go find anything that you could think of. Um, I'm trying to think of personality types and stuff. This is going to sound like... We're both stubborn. I'll say that. If we get in an argument, it's so amazing to...

We've gotten better throughout marriage, but at the first couple years of marriage, it was the dumbest things, and we both just would not say sorry to each other. We both would not admit that we were wrong. So we're getting better. Yeah, honestly, I mean, it's way easier just think about similarities i

think you guys are really really similar really i think so yeah i think you kind of mold into that as you get married you like get to know each other better and become more like each other probably too i mean even in just i think the way you guys were like brought up and you could tell you were raised to just like you both treat people like really well both like very intelligent like emotionally intelligent like socially intelligent but like treat people like really well both like very intelligent like emotionally intelligent like socially intelligent but like no home alone really well both yeah you both know home alone really well that's true we yeah we have passions of the office home alone yeah really just christmas in general um we both get really into friends yeah so that's good yeah i'm sure there's

more i mean yeah just different taste when it comes to couches she's she's clean i'm tidy i love things like i'm always like why is this piece of paper here let's like do something with it and she's like why didn't you like wash out the sink after you did the dishes you know so there's differences but we love each other it's fun yes we do i remember i remember you saying that do you have any thoughts about your wife you know if we would have done this voicemail last week i think i had a completely different answer but i had an epiphany i think it's how you pronounce it right it's two p's scotty epiphany scotty epiphany scotty epiphany yesterday and i realized that i think i want a wife who is pretty similar to you br Brad. No joke. Busty?

36-inch chest? See some vibes in here, fatty. Yeah, 36-inch. Do a little pat? Yeah, okay, okay. No, that's fun. No, but this came from, I was driving, I think it was to Trey's house yesterday morning.

Funny. Yeah, I would love to know how you flesh this out. Yeah. Just pretty much you, but with longer hair, that's it. I did not a short hair guy. No, it was after our podcast meeting that we had yesterday morning. And for some reason I was just thinking about it. I'm like, I really appreciate the things that Brad and I are different on. So here's why I want you and my wife to be similar.

Okay. It's like, yeah. Similar in all the areas that like really matter. Like the pillars of life, the worldview, stuff like that, sense of humor, like how we like bounce things off each other. Like that part is so fun. I want that for a lifetime with who I'm going to choose to be with

for that period of time. So those things are so important. But where we're different, I think it's like a healthy amount of difference. Like with the new podcast studio, I was fully ready to just like make some quick decisions. Like I'm ready to spend, like, I'll drop two grand on this. You're ready to go.

You're balling out. I'm ready to ball out. Let's make this nice. Let's make this like very presentable. Like let's, I want to see like a visual upgrade. Like, Ooh, like the ghost runners podcast. Like that looks nice on YouTube. Right.

And then you had some really good points and like open my eyes to things that I would have never thought of. I think there's value in not being overly produced. If our podcasts titles are going to be called my morning mood juice, it's like, should it really look that nice? We're talking about, you really have like a KCTV five backdrop, like local news or something. Yeah. And that's like a small example, but I feel like we're different in the way we like see things like that. And it was like a healthy, a healthy i was like oh yeah i wouldn't have thought of that that sure like opened my views to it and i like it i mean so it was healthy it was good so that's what i'm looking for slight differences and things that

like kind of matter okay which i think everyone would say that but that was just like a example yesterday i was just thinking of you yeah yeah that's a good balance yeah i think we are similar and different in a lot of ways like i, I think we have the same like core, like desires and humor, like you're saying, but then the way we get there is different sometimes I think. Yeah. So,

so there we go. What was that Lexi? Thank you for the question. That was a good one. That was a fun one. Good one. Your teen requested a ride, but this time not from you.

I just want to say first that I think we, the listeners, appreciate you guys and the way that you bounce off of one another and your friendship. We really do love it and we think that it's genuine and awesome. And so keep that going. But I do have a story. I was hired at Chick-fil-A about six years ago, and I went through all the training.

I got the uniform and the official name tag. But on my first day, I happened to quit. I'm not going to get into that, personal reasons. But my question for you is, because Chick-fil-A let me keep the uniform and the name tag and everything, I wanted to know what kind of recommendations you guys have. How can I use this uniform and this name tag to my benefit? I'm thinking discounts. I'm thinking free food.

I'm thinking Mr. James. free food i'm thinking mr james oh well timed wow i remember i had a prank video idea way back in the day like i mean 2011 or something probably i wanted to dress in a blue colored shirt and khakis and go to best buy and just like roll up hey guys sorry i'm late and just start stocking stuff just start working just see how long i could make it in Best Buy. Just kind of just doing stuff. Organizing. Yeah. Hey, can I help you guys out with anything? I feel like I can probably figure it out.

Right. Yeah, you can do that for so many different places that are like Target. It's just you have to wear red. Yeah. And like khakis. So I think, yeah, you could if you're really feeling it. That's what I would.

That was my first thought too. Depending on the size of your avocados. Yeah, you just walk in. Like, hey guys, sorry. Traffic. I would do that once a week. Like I'd be like, Iocados. You just walk in like, hey guys, sorry, traffic. I would do that once a week. I'd be like, I'm hungry. Let's go get lunch. And then come and be like, hey, actually

whatever car spot, because now they're doing all these mobile things. Hey, actually car spot three needs one more spicy chicken and yeah, like whatever, a milkshake and a Diet Dr. Pepper to go. I can just take it out. Yeah. Sorry. Come on, come on, come on. They're like whatever, a milkshake and a Diet Dr. Pepper to go. I can just take it out. Yeah. Sorry.

Hurry, hurry, hurry. Yeah, sorry. Come on, come on, come on, come on. They're like really, really mad. Can we just get it real quick? And then you just go to different locations so they don't like pick up on it. Yeah. Oh, that'd be awesome.

I think if maybe you're a little, if you want to work your way up, you start by going maybe on a day, like at noon, there's going to be people crushing iPads in the drive-thru they're going to be out there but like that's what James classic Mr. James quote yeah we'd be crushing iPads

dude how's work going today dude it's been crushing iPads all morning oh nice that's awesome but at like 3pm the line dies down no one's out there

yeah so I think you you chill out there and before they get to like the speaker you have like an iPad or something get to like the, the speaker, you have like an iPad or something that looks like a tablet. It's like, Hey, we're doing something new at Chick-fil-A today. You know, before you order, let's do a quick survey and I don't know, just like have fun

with them. Yeah. Right. Just like ask them all sorts of stuff. That's good. Yeah. Like just, so, uh, when was the last time you bought a jean jacket? Like, Whoa, that's kind of a personal.

Because he's a great Royals player back in the day. That's so funny. I still remember Uncle John and Cousin Steve-O got these like crazy tickets. I forgot what they're called, like the diamond seats or whatever. I mean, the diamond club. Right behind home plate. Like you get like food and everything.

Yeah, like first row home plate. Like the best, maybe not the best seats, but the most expensive seats. Yeah. And right behind home plate, bases were loaded, bottom of the ninth, tie game. Raul O'Baniel gets hit by pitch, like a walk-off hit by pitch. And so it was all over SportsCenter because it's just like a crazy way to end the game. And you could just see like my family just like standing up.

They were like cheering and they were all over SportsCenter for, you know, the night and the next morning. Like, that's pretty cool. Yeah. Walk-off hit by pitch. Raul O'Baniel. There's Steve-O. There he is. That's kind of cool. Walk off hit by pitch. There's Steve-O. That's fun. El Raul Bande.

Thanks for the vibe memo, dude. Hey, fellas. This is Caleb, the president of the Southpaw Ghosties and vice president of the Illinois Ghosties. Should be the president. Voter turnout wasn't very high. It is what it is. I've accepted it. Not sure if I'm considered turnout oh g ghosty or not my best friend and pickleball

partner ben recommended me to you guys and i started listening around episode 11 oh by the way ben are we still on to hang out tomorrow man let's get some vibes in there my first question for you guys is who do you think you are? And what gives you the right? Brad. But seriously, what's one thing from The Office that you'd like to see that we never get to see? For example, Michael and Holly in Colorado. An episode of Michael and his fun jeans.

Meeting Michael's mom. I think that'd be really cool. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Love the pod. Bye-bye. That's a good question. That's a fun question. Yeah. When it, there are like extra pieces of the plot. Yeah. Michael Hawley in Colorado or just like extra characters. We almost got to see like Michael's mom. Michael's mom would be fun, But you remember like Dwight's, um,

they show all Dwight's family in the ending episodes. And it kind of like, I would have loved like, like that was a great idea, but they weren't very interesting at all. It's almost more fun to imagine what they're like. Absolutely. Cause all we got to see was cousin Moe's and he was out there.

He was great. Right. Just leave it at Moe's. Yeah. Cause like, like, yeah, I would love to see Michael's mom,

but I also, it might ruin the, the, the whatever glass ceiling. That's not the right thing. What's, what's the shower of the glass ceiling mean? Yeah.

It's, I don't know. What word are you looking for? Like shadow? Like, I don't know. It's just like the, the expectations.

Yeah. Like bring them down from their pedestal. Does that work? Maybe. Yeah, sure. The glass pedestal. It's our,

it's our, yeah. The glass pedestal. It's our, yeah. The glass slipper. The other slipper to drop. The vibe slipper. Waiting for the slipper to drop. The slipper to drop. So, yeah, we're just waiting for the slipper to drop on Michael's mom. It's just the right size.

Would love to see what's in Pam and Jim's little note in the teapot. That's kind of fun. That'd be kind of a good one. I like the idea of seeing footage of them like pre-office days like little kid stuff because like kevin was a baller remember how you could shoot the basketball like at one point if he was a little more in shape i bet he was schooling some people yeah that's a fun idea or like michael playing hockey back in the day i don't know something like that it'd be fun to see andy in college with his acapella group yeah yeah yeah crushing it yeah or just

this acapella group in general yeah yeah just them because obviously stephen colbert came for that one episode one thing that i was excited to see who knows how good it would have been but remember the farm supposed to be the dwight spinoff and then that got canned oh wait no i don't what are you talking about they got cannon handed um well they were gonna have another show probably around i mean i'm just guessing around season seven or eight they announced nbc announced there's gonna be a spinoff show called the farm it was based around dwight oh really like his beat farm oh wow and there was all this like hype and stuff around it and then something happened and it never never even released a pilot i don't think it never made

it to air i think that's a good call i don't think i mean the fact that didn't make it yeah it's probably a good call but yeah still the stuff that's out there nowadays i know i've talked about network actually was that a different podcast i know network tv is just crazy yeah yeah right now like what they're putting out there so it's gotta be better than that how many different shows are gonna have people in masks have you noticed now we got the mass dancer what does that even mean they're like well you're talking about that mask i thought you meant like just like yeah covid masks also i mean it is a good year for mask right a mass dancer mask on your face mass singer yeah yeah the mass dancer like wow i think the mass singer is like wildly popular too it is that's

the crazy thing is like they're doing it like they do that second one because the first one's doing so well it's like why is that doing so well where does it stop there are people out there gonna comment they're gonna be like mass singer is awesome it's amazing uh what is everything you just take away yeah if you take away the the deaf the deaf tap dancer whoa they did all that they were deaf they just felt it um yeah it's like it's so funny because like the reason we're seeing all these ads because we're watching football so much and so like fox all their stuff is like these like really big studio, like, you know, like just reality shows. I feel like CBS is like these like terrible, terrible sitcoms that with laugh tracks.

Yeah. Laugh tracks that don't make like, I understand why the joke is supposed to be funny, but it's like, there's no way anybody thinks that's funny. Who is watching young Sheldon? There's no way. There's no, there's no way you're watching young Sheldon and laughing. No, no. I refuse to believe you can enjoy the ghost Hunters podcast and enjoy Young Sheldon.

You would have to be like two completely different people. Two different people. Yeah. Yeah. Like the producers of Young Sheldon are not laughing on set. Like you know how they have like bloopers? Like there's no bloopers. There's no bloopers.

Because they're just like. They deliver their lines. Good job. This is. We made millions of dollars on this. So then there's like what? I'm trying to think. NBC.

I don't really remember what. Oh, their NBC is like the one that has, one of them has like the nine one one and the nine one one lone star as if one nine one one wasn't enough. Dude, you don't mean NCIS is there are running out of letters and there's like Chicago, Chicago got a lot of stuff going on.

Chicago fire, Chicago PD, Chicago med. I think is a thing. I've seen Chicago Cubs on TV before. Yeah. What's that? Is that crime show? I think so. Bears I've seen Chicago Cubs on TV before yeah what's that is that crime show I think so

for bears yeah or just clubs Chicago clubs so I don't know it's just like it's like they

they just hold in on one thing and it's like that's their that's their thing now yeah like Fox like I think Fox

is coming out with a show maybe it's not Fox but like some reality show with Ellen or something Ellen

John Cena one of the it's gotta be, but some reality show with Ellen or something. Is it Ellen? John Cena? One of the... It's got to be Ellen or John Cena. One of those two. Just plug them in. There's Wayne Brady, Ellen, John Cena. Who knows? Just those guys that are like, I don't have anything else going on.

I'll do this. It's got to be one of the two. Have you seen that new game show? Who's the host? It's either Martha's either martha stewart or kevin hart who who is that lesbian or that professional wrestler i can't remember they're they're really similar so oh boy that's so funny anyway who yeah who's who was in uh that one movie i saw recently gosh you know who was it you know was it george cluny

or i might have mason ramsay who oh it was one of the two who was it shoot that's the kind of thing jake would not remember the details he had hair i don't know where though i didn't want to ask yeah where yep did my first shave oh really macy macy i've ruined it don't ask macy oh boy oh really macy elder generous is more than just a lesbian for the record i'm sorry for just profiling that anyway um that's a fun question i don't even know what it was it was at the office yeah all right All right. On to the next. Hey, Jake and Brad. This is James from Purdue University, the same kid who started the subreddit.

Let's go Boilermakers. I'm in the middle of studying right now, and I'm reading a textbook that I was told is rent only. However, I'm still allowed to highlight and underline and write notes in it. That's why I buy used books. So when I turn it in at the end of the year, whoever rents the textbook next year is going to see everything I wrote in it, which gave me an idea. I've been catching myself writing notes and like jokes and things that I think of when I'm studying in the book. And I was just wondering if you guys had any other ideas for things I should write in the book for people to see next

year, maybe like a little mini time capsule thing. I'm hoping that if I do it well enough, other people will continue the trend and eventually we'll just have the writings of like six different people in this textbook in the next six years. Anyways, if you have any ideas, any ideas, let me know. Thanks. Bye-bye. James, that's awesome. First of all, thanks for starting the subreddit. That's pretty cool that you were the founder of that. But I love the phrase, like, I caught myself writing some jokes. Like he's just like studying. Oh, oh, Hasidic Jews. That's hilarious. I didn't phrase like I caught myself writing some jokes like he's just like studying oh oh Hasidic Jews that's hilarious. I didn't really I was just I was trying to highlight Mesopotamia

yeah yeah you're like photosynthesis what did the uh barista order at the butcher shop half-calf whoa why oh that come from What celebrity always cancels his appointments? Christian Bale. Whoa, where'd that come from? I was doing the Pythagorean theorem. I don't know where that got in there. Gosh, I keep catching myself in these jokes. Oh, man.

Let me find another one. Brad, would you like to answer this question? What do you have down in your notes? I'm looking for the chemical structure of, uh, dihydrogen, um, and, and the iron. Yeah. Yeah. So is that, I think that one has multiple, let me see. It has two neutrons, one proton and Oh wait, no. This is what, who is a pumpkin's favorite NASCAR driver? Jeff Gordon? I don't know. There's neutrons and protons and Gordons. I don't know about that.

You don't come to think of it, I'm getting a little bored on. Anyone else? Do you want to skip class? Anybody? Boron? Huh? Yeah.

More like Borafil. Let's get some vibes up in here. Oh, goodness. Ca caught myself writing jokes i love to do that i just don't even realize oh wait whoa that's funny yeah i just wrote five minutes of this great like you know a whole 30 bit this is great this is hilarious oh man good job that's okay so what was the question what would oh yeah the answer is treasure map the answer is treasure map. The answer is treasure map. I guarantee you there's nothing better than a treasure map and you find it on there and you're like, Holy cow.

Like this is a treasure map. I think I got it. I got to do something about this and like make it to where the last thing is like them finding you so that you can change the treasure every time. And it can like evolve every time. Like one time, like say, say they find the treasure map and like find the eventual treasure when you are just graduated, you can't afford much. The treasure is something small, like a $25 thing.

But then someday you went to Purdue, so you're, you're doing well for yourself. Um, and so someday you're working for the big ag and you can make acronym or agronomy, uh, agriculturally economy. Yeah. Agronomy. Um, he was an ag communications major. So, uh, he's, he's working for, uh, Monsanto and he's like, man, I make the big bucks here. And so he's given like a thousand dollar treasure.

Oh, you know, I thought you meant the treasure was literally him. Like he goes to a spot and james just standing like no but that would be awesome vibes that'd be awesome if like the second to last clue was like something that triggered like he got he gets an email i was just thinking that so then he's gotta like run and bury himself and put his head in a box i wasn't thinking that that's awesome no i think even creepier well that's not creepier than that but i was thinking like he wears like a black suit like all black okay and he just like is standing on top of a hill

and they like find him and they're like that's the guy and you have to like approach this guy and he gives you a treasure and from a really long distance away big throwback here he goes you guys want nachos then you have to walk 100 yards to go get nachos from yeah what was that that was the fourth of july when i was down there in oklahoma with like grant and noah and those guys we're like walking home and just like i can't even see him just like faintly oh yeah yeah it's come here yeah come here you guys want nachos oh man that's good yeah i was saying yeah i was right on track with you similar yeah the second to last clue is when you know you're getting close like oh snap he's like he's gonna be there in 10 minutes yeah i gotta go put myself in this coffin or something

and then scare him oh yeah that's good too and like record it or something treasure map would be good i would be scared like that i put all this work into something and then the next year the book edition gets changed and it's kind of obsolete so instead i think i would oh yeah you're right i would that's spoken like a true book salesman former used book salesman for sure i think i would do like as i'm oh no yeah this is it as you're studying and you find like big nouns or something that like could be the answer to a trivia question you reverse engineer trivia so i don't know what kind of textbook this is let's say it's an economy textbook so you got all these major brands in the textbook that you could use okay so you say like on page 98 unrelated to

the chapter of the answer is you like in the in the corner of the page but you know yeah jokes you say just uh what major company was founded in 1918 by john pemberton and then it's like answers on page 13 john pemberton do you make that up this is coca-cola oh okay i don't know the year that just sounded like such a legit name so i was like that's hilarious if you just made that okay hey stuff to get gifted yeah globalization of coke national history day they're good for you and it says answers on page 13 and then when you go to page 13 there's another question waiting for you for the next one and then you just do that for a while and people like the next guy who got the book if he thought it was so

fun he could do it again yeah you're never gonna run out of words in the book that's answers because when you get to page 13 it doesn't say coke it's like circled and it's like how fun i didn't catch that earlier yeah i like that i like the idea of like bestowing the honor onto them like now that you've done this it's time to doing anything it's time to carry the carry the torch the glass slipper that's right the glass slipper has not fallen on the torch this is your slipper now i like it that's good there's some ideas james yeah that's good come here hey there jake and brad big inhale sugar shane down here in uh sanford florida aka or, Florida, for those people who

don't know where Sanford is because we're pretty much in the middle of nowhere. A little geography lesson. Anyways, I recently went on a date, maybe not recently, maybe like two weeks ago, with a girl. Nice. I talked to her for about two weeks. Long date. We were going back and forth with each other, calling, texting, FaceTiming.

And then I looked at her Instagram, FaceTiming. I covered my bases. I'm like, okay, this girl checks out. You know, Christian girl, she's great. I go to meet her. I do not want to be mean, but the girl definitely was not her picture maybe two or three years ago. My question to you is, what was the worst date you ever had and also to anybody in sanford florida hit me up hit me up hit this dude up okay hold on a few

things that come to mind first he said he facetimed her right what's he looking at during the facetime this girl just like a professional like videographer with like cinematic lighting what is it called the ring the ring camera ring light ring light yeah the ring light going yeah she got the ring light on there yeah we facetimed but then yeah once she showed up and like you know daylight oh i don't want to be mean but she must not have an 8k camera because that thing is kind of blurry i don't want to be mean i don't mean but she was ugly i don't want to be mean but you ever seen roadkill just like saying like awful right um i don't know what to tell you man i don't want to be mean, but you ever seen roadkill? Just like saying like awful things. I don't know what to tell you, man.

I don't want to be mean, but she's about as hot as an iceberg. I don't know. That's good. Okay. So what was the question? Oh, I think we've been asked this like four times before, but yeah. What's a bad date you've been on? We've been asked this before because we've said like, you should, once I get to the date,

they're at least like cool. Like nothing that crazy is going to happen. I know. That's the thing. Like, I feel like I'm an agreeable enough person that I can get along with anybody for a couple hours. I don't,

I didn't really date too much. Like I had girlfriends, but I didn't like just like casually date very often. So my answers are pretty boring. But there was one time when Catherine visited me, I was studying abroad in Spain. She came and visited me on her spring break and I called her Ashley, which was my ex-girlfriend that it's a good two years.

So that was cool. Play some games, get in there. So that was fun. Yeah. That was the worst date, I guess. It wasn't really a date.

It wasn't really that bad, but she was, she was pretty forgiving in my opinion. I felt so bad.'t really a date. It wasn't really that bad. But she was pretty forgiving, in my opinion. I felt so bad. It's a good trait. Yeah. But she's great. You know, if you're a new listener, then here's the... I know I've told this before, but I went on one date where she brought her brother.

It's kind of a fun one. What? I don't remember that. Brought her brother? Really? Surely. Surely. I mentioned that somewhere.

I just kept that in that was it a restaurant it was supposed to be silver dollar city nice this was just like it was just an awful swing yeah yeah um and we get all the way there or we almost get there we like drove separately like i was in strafford she was in fayette. Let's meet in Branson. Trip to Branson. Oh. And so we're like parking separately. And she lets me know. Oh, my gosh. I just parked.

Check my tickets again. Realized these tickets don't work. Like she invited me. It's like my family has season passes. You want to go sort of sitting in? OK. So it's already like, OK, we just drove each of like an hour. And now we can't do anything.

Now we're just in Branson. So I was like, are you hungry? She's like, I'm hungry I was like, let's just go get some like Chick-fil-a real quick and like come up with a plan Okay, and then we go to Chick-fil-a and there's like a guy following her that's like pretty close to her I didn't see them get out of the same car necessarily It seems like he's like, uh-huh walked right behind her and is like still following her I'm like this is weird and then she sits down at the table and he sits down at the table So it's like hey there what who are you this is not familiar to me so was it a younger brother

like was it like a little kid it was not a little kid okay he was not follicly challenged okay he was probably older than me oh yeah so he was almost like his security her security guard or something i guess maybe they were just like the the original plan was let's go to sdc let's split up once you go fire in the hole we'll go powder keg you know it'll be fine uh he's like that's fine but hey i don't want to get you to any fire in the hole all right that's why i'm here am i right look at me yeah you do fire where no um where yeah who's your laser hair guy uh but yeah so i don't know what the plane was but it was just so weird that he was there and that's odd yeah that was not great so was that the end of the date was trick-or-treating yeah i didn't want to do anything anymore i didn't want to play anything

i'm like this is so weird and like i kind of let her know that I'm just like yeah oh I thought it was just gonna be us too yeah but what's up Adam so uh you play sports or so that's a cool beard that's cool how'd you grow that did you do it is it natural or did you put the stuff on I don't be rude but yeah is that all you is that yeah not all you up there Mr. Copperfield's Miracle Legumes or what so that's funny yeah I thought I told that story before I guess not I don't I don't remember it Is that all you? Is that, yeah. Is that all you up there? Mr. Copperfield's Miracle Legumes or what? That's funny. Yeah, I thought I'd told that story before. I guess not.

I don't remember it, but sometimes I just don't listen to you, I guess. Let's see. What else? There was another one I went on to where everything else about the date had gone super well. At some point, we were talking about driving or car insurance, just typical date things, kind of like a sexy, flirty thing. So, who do you have your car insurance oh really farmers oh you feisty girl yeah yeah old school i'm more progressive hello yeah yeah show off a little bit the general okay have a good night all right good good bye

salute her out yeah but she was like uh my car insurance is like so expensive right now i was like oh really how come she's like well have i told you this i think i did no i don't think so this is just this is a great beginning of a story why yeah she says well i've totaled my last three cars all from texting and driving no i was like what she needs to go on walks just rid yourself of that i was like that's that's insane that isn't and in my head i'm thinking like okay you get in one texting and driving accident that's got to be pretty scarring yes to total your car you really messed up the muscle memory of like looking down your phone and then oh yeah yeah you have to think at that point i'm never touching my phone again yeah but then do the thing where it's like automatic reply i'm driving right now i will call you back later

yes yeah but you slip up something happens you text again you total another car you get a new car and you think you know what let's get that phone out one more time i should text him back right now while i'm driving so that was just enough of like, if you're that irresponsible, even though everything else has been great, if you're irresponsible in that area, like what else, what else going on? Like we all have bad habits that we know and that we can't shake, but, and like, and then we always see like, dang it, why do I keep doing this? Like, like Catherine's always late to stuff or like always like running around right at

the last minute. That's, that's something we're different about. Um, and I'm always like, don't you see this? And like, can't you like want to change this? You know, but that's like so minor, but like, yeah, if Catherine were getting in wrecks every single time because she was running late, I would then be like, you need to change, you know? Yeah.

Like if every time I bit my nails, I had to get a new car. Oh, I would stop biting my nails or just like started bleeding profusely. Even like if anything happened, I could stop that habit. Right. Absolutely. That's a new car. Oh, yeah. I would stop biting my nails. Or just like start bleeding profusely even. If anything happened. Yeah. I could stop that habit. Right. Absolutely. That's a good point.

So that happens at dinner. Story's not over. Okay. Then we go to Andy's Frozen Custard. Did she drive? No. Okay. She did not.

I had her sit in the back. Yeah. The driver always protects his side. That's right. We go to Andy's. This is the Westport location. It's got a little parking lot next to it we park there we're kind of facing this is really for you and anyone

else very familiar with kansas city we're facing that uh quick trips on our left we're facing like that church okay it's kind of a ledge the sidewalk is like four feet below where this parking lot is if you can imagine it and out of nowhere this guy is just like in front of us on the sidewalk which isn't that alarming but it's kind of like where'd you come from it's nighttime but still and just yelling hard to make out what he's saying but definitely yelling definitely angry at you i can't really tell like it's towards our direction i'm like what could he possibly be yelling at me for like we're sitting here eating our ice cream having a good time talking car insurance and then this think, does a lot of box jumps, like hops right up on this curb and just like immediately like he's just very close to us.

It went from like four foot ledge protecting us to like he's here now. And yeah, he's pretty close. Yeah. It's so quickly. I was like, hold my ice cream. I put it in reverse. It start like backing up. And he's like following us and like still yelling, like hands in his hoodie pocket,

like still yelling at us. And I can't totally hear what he's saying, but just like seems so angry. And oh, it got my adrenaline pumping. You never figured out what it was? No, it was so scary.

He was just trying to tell you like your water cup is still on top of your. Hey, your mother water cup. Get over there. You're going to, you're going to whatever. What's the word? Waste it.

That's not the glass. You're going to litter.. What's the word? Waste it. That's not the word. Glass slippers. You're going to litter. My hands are cold, so I'll keep them in my hoodie pocket. I'm going to move them around vigorously. Wow, that's crazy. It was really scary. So it was not a good day.

Like Christmas Eve. I just cannot wait to get up in the middle of the night to check on him. That does sound fun. I should adopt. It's amazing how different your life is when you're truly sleep deprived. Sleep deprived one or two nights, it's like, okay, I can rally. After that rally after that it's like i cannot concentrate like guys we're down 10 runs we can't rally i can't read this cup like i can read like the first couple words and i just stop like being able to look at it you know it's weird you need a wet shower probably uh dry yeah what shower yeah

yeah i think you're really cleanse yeah maybe like a what's what's let's somewhat wet somewhat dry amphibious some moist shower okay just like just like get a towel and just put it on yourself kind of like a like a weighted blanket it's a moist shower that sounds gross that sounds like what i hugged this morning was like i hugged a moist you had a moist shower oh speaking of here's an anilatha this is great before we get a fifth grader you know we have show and tell every day we work out which i'm slowly uh videoing our show and tells i'm gonna make a montage for patreon love it of just like the best of show and tell it's pretty great today for my none of mine are getting recorded which is

fine i'll just tell you guys about your life though sometimes you know it really has been for like five years like i got some good stuff nothing to me but i got some good stuff uh my show until this morning were these shorts that i found in my room almost as soon as i moved in and i'm like i never saw greg former roommate greg wearing these shorts so i don't think they're his like where'd i get these things and i haven't seen isaac yeah how do i have just random shorts that i've never seen before and i just kind of never brought it up or told anyone but you know i was kind of i didn't have anything for show and tell so i was like i'll grab these shorts just to kind of tell the story and Harrison lets me completely finish and he goes those are my shorts and I was like wait how did I get them like you weren't even moved in yet he said when I first brought

some stuff over I realized I didn't want these shorts anymore so I just snuck in your room and I just like stuffed them under your other clothes no way it's like what like your first day here that's awesome he's like yeah I was like what a move on the first day he didn't want him he's like I thought you'd never see him I was like, what a move on the first day. He didn't want him. He's like, I thought you'd never see him. I was like, I found him immediately. And I just haven't said anything. And I was like, so that's your gray hoodie too? He's like, gray hoodie. I was like, so now I guess I need to show you.

Isaac's like, yeah, I did the same thing. I didn't think you checked the closet. So I got a gray hoodie and a Latham North shorts. That's where that comes into play. Oh, interesting. Go Eagles. Huh. I don't know very many North.

Darren Sproles. I got some shorts.'t know very many north darren sproles i got some shorts who by the way darren sproles you see he got in the hall of fame for college football oh okay that makes more sense jake and i have a standing bet i think it was for a hundred dollars do you remember how much it was oh yeah i think a hundred dollars sounds right that darren sproles is gonna i bet that he's gonna be in the hall of fame i don't know if i technically won or not i think it was probably the nfl thing Fame that we were talking about. Because we talked about like his, yeah, all-time kick return yards. Yeah, he's got like more all-purpose yards

than anybody else. Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. He's probably not going to make the Hall of Fame. But you'll never know. It's indefinite. So like when I'm 75, Jason will be like, pay up. Okay, Brad, I found some questions. I did too. If you're smarter than a fifth grader. Okay.

Which country is both an island and a continent? Australia. Might. Might. Ding, ding, ding. Good job. So far, Brad, you are smarter than a fifth grader. Okay.

What U.S. state lies the farthest west? Alaska. That's correct, I think. One of those trick questions. Don't expect a fifth grader to know that. They're all saying California, and they're like, oh, I forgot about Hawaii. No, no, no, no, no. I was talking about this with Trey, but it was on his bonus podcast. So who cares? I can say it here. Do you feel like Alaska is getting bigger? It's crazy. Like I think every year there's a new comparison. Like, did you know that Alaska could fit 47 Texas's in it I feel like I saw one yesterday did you know Alaska is bigger than Jupiter I would believe that yeah I just made that up but like they could say anything about the size of Alaska I'm like that's crazy I get yeah I get it yeah that's like those Amazon stats like they had 0.4% chance of scoring on this play sure okay I

get you I can't like prove you wrong yeah how are you how are you figuring that out yeah based on alaska every time you look at the map it's like dang that's it's like no no that's that's that's too big like that's not right and because you yeah you look at it and then you look at texas and you're like oh oh my gosh i swear it's getting bigger and there's like five people up there and i feel bad one of us a podcast listener whitney what up shout out to wit yeah mario chalmers but i yeah i feel like i feel bad for alaska like clearly canada didn't want it and i think it's kind of the leftover it's like one of our last states and we'll take it we didn't do world history day so i don't know too much about it but i'm sure that's kind of an interesting story about how we got alaska because there's so much yeah it's like so much up there i don't know i don't know i don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I'm not good with history, but I would like to know more about how we acquired Alaska, Hawaii. Like, that's just crazy to me. Like these far off places that were like, we'll take those. Hawaii is pretty sweet. Just like a long time ago, there were volcanoes underwater and now we can drive on them. Yeah.

That's sweet. Is that how like we we acquired them? Just like, hey, here's some islands. I don't know how we acquired them. I don't know. Okay. Probably bartered. We'll give you one-tenth of Alaska if you give us Hawaii.

And that was called Canada. Are you smart enough, fifth grader? Yeah. Animals without backbones are known as? Without backbones? Without backbones. Without backbones. Oh, gosh. Is there multiple choice?

per day okay plus sorry fifth grade an extra piece on saturdays and sundays okay how many weeks will it take to finish all your candy? It's a little algebra here. So 48, I get two pieces a day, but I get an extra one. So I get 16 a week. So that's three weeks. Is that right? Correct.

I'd love to hear your opinions on Lamberts. You spent too much time in southwest Missouri to never have been. Oh, oh we've been i'm sure you've been a lot not as much as

you think really but yeah cute little place ozark missouri just tucked in between springfield and branson right off highway 65 oh it's awesome it's just it's not cute it's not little it's huge it's large and it's awesome it's not cute it.

throw roles of like, you have to like, like present yourself like really dramatically whenever you want to roll. So I'd always be like, I'd always be like, Oh, that's what I do every time. Oh. And like everyone else, of course, the youth group was doing with me like,

Oh, Oh. And there was this one girl that was like doing it over and over again. Oh, Oh, Oh. And then she like looked at, she's like,

they're not throwing it. And then right. As she like looked at over, she just gets nailed in the face with a role. I mean, it was like, it was, it was like from a movie or something. It was awesome.

Those things are hot. They're very hot. They're literally coming in hot. They're big. Yeah. Oh, man, it was awesome. They make a fun sound. They suction in your hand.
