Brad, I had some homework this week. Okay. I was assigned by Trey Kennedy III to watch The Bachelor. Trey Kennedy III. Trey Kennedy III. Yeah. He said, we're going to make another Bachelor video. I think we're going to make it about hometown dates. You ever seen any of those episodes? I said, no. He said, well, this Monday's hometown dates, you need to watch it. Oh yeah. They're like a staple of the show. Yeah. But these are unprecedented times, as you probably know. So they didn't go home. No, no, no. Joe Biden won the presidency. It is a president at time. Oh, that's right. We do have a president. Yeah. It is not an unprecedented. I know that Trump's trying to be like, Hey, it's not real. You're still got to count the votes, but no, it's president time. I've, I misheard Chris Harrison. He said,

guys, as you know, these are president at times. Apparently a lot of people misheard Chris Harrison or something. I don't know what's going on with him. He's being misheard in a few other ways. Yeah. Um, do you know about that? He's like, I know that he's, yeah, that's, that's what I was kind of referring to, but I don't know what he did. I just know he's got, got canceled somehow. Yeah. He's got, he's got some stuff. Okay. But anyway, he'll be on cameo a lot more. Let's just say that maybe a little less than $400. He needs a little more now. Uh, anyway, so they don't go home. The families come to them and they try to plan all these dates and it's a, it's a good

combination of just town, not hometown, not hometown. Just, uh, here's this cottage we sat, we found on Airbnb that we're going to just use different parts of for each family. I think is what happened. Uh, every single dad has the same, very rational questions. I'm just like, you seem nice, but I'm worried that you're dating three other women. And the guy's like, yeah, I hear you. This is the bachelor. Not, yeah, this is the bachelor, not the bachelor. Correct. So

there's a lot of that. There's a lot of girls saying, I love you, him not wanting to say, I love you. So just kissing them instead of speaking back to them that happened for two out of the four girls didn't even say anything back, just kissed him. But my favorite part of the episode, you say the other two girls or the other two girls didn't say it. Uh, I think one of them didn't say it. And then the other one, he was just like, yeah, like I definitely hear you. And like, I know that you came into this with some stuff you were thinking about and like, we can definitely have that conversation. But I think right now I need to be thinking about like, what's best for us. And like, yeah, whatever you're thinking right

now, like, don't even worry about it. Just like be here with us and just like, let's just, let's think about this later. Okay. Like, what did you just say for 30 seconds? You just, you just made up. Yeah. You just made up some random sentence this later. Okay. It's like, what did you just say for 30 seconds? You just, you just made up. Yeah. You just made up some random sentence as you were going. But anyway, my favorite part of the episode is Rachel takes Matt skydiving. Oh, sure. And I think there was some sort of like wind draft or something happened. And it's like kind of dangerous.

Like she does not have a smooth landing, gets slammed to the ground. It's awesome. Like comes up, she's got grass in her teeth. Her hair is all mangled. And it's just like, there's grass and dirt everywhere. And it's just, it's really funny because she's awesome. Like comes up, she's got grass in her teeth. Her hair is all mangled and it's just like there's grass and dirt everywhere. And it's just, it's really funny because she's okay. Yeah. She's like, she's like spewing out like cud.

I love you. Kiss me. Kiss me. Get this over with. And then of course, like Matt, the bachelor just like, you know, when Rachel got slammed to the earth, it really put things into perspective for me. It really rocked my world. Yeah.

You know, love is like, you know, 9.8 meters squared per second falling to the earth. You know, it goes fast. And I just imagine the producers like having a gun to his head and being like, pivot this into a story for us. She's got back issues for the rest of her life. Make it about love. Right? Yeah. We're gonna have to pay a lot of chiropractor bills for this. Just make it worth it. All right. Yeah. Make it worth it. It's 9.8 meters squared. Make sure you square it. Square it. Uh, uh, oh, ooh, I, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too.

And then we got our nice, just solid plywood desk.

Yeah. Oh, look at the Shima. Look at the Shima, the natural wood, um, plywood veneer. And then,

so it's about 75 degrees and no wind the whole time it was awesome it's a dry heat yeah it was great the whole weekend was awesome I think it was the first tournament that Isaac and I entered together and didn't win

didn't win but that's okay it was the first tournament that Isaac and I entered together and didn't win so oh really yeah didn't win uh but that's okay it was really really like big tournament right like it was like yeah I think like 1500 people registered ESPN I saw was there ESPN Trace yeah was there um so yeah it was fun and honestly there was quite a few pretty pretty big chunk of silver lining you know when we lost because I guess it's a COVID thing but they had no concession stand like no access to like any type of nutrient uh they had a water fountain but still not even like selling gatorades or anything really and so isaac and i we had a couple like really long matches like no that entire day we didn't have a single game decided by anything other than two points you

know it's like every game went as far as it could have yeah really long uh it's been a while so we had lunch anyway and so we get done with a few of these and we're like, dude, we are so tired and so exhausted. And so but we had no access to like even like a candy bar or Gatorade or anything. Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah. You think that they'd at least have like even like vendor like sponsor. Yeah. You know, like people giving out stuff for free, like Cliff Bar were there.

Yeah. Sponsor the event. Yeah. So when we did lose it was like you know what now we can go get pizza immediately we're really hungry and thirsty yeah it was awesome so is that what you did you oh yeah we went to we were thinking pizza yeah yeah and we went and got a lot of it and a big old dr peppa what was the venue like was it a park was it a actual like pickleball court area like they had like an insane amount of pickleball,

like actual pickleball courts at this like, like resort. Basically we're talking insane being 20 insane being 50. I think they had like, uh, like probably six tennis courts that were turned into like, you know, 15,

uh, pickleball courts. And then another like 15 dedicated pickleball courts something like that so a lot of people being played that's awesome and yeah it was pretty cool you like get a text where you're playing and when it was like very efficient and official and it was fun but yeah we didn't

play super well there was at the end of one game this is like we had just lost I'm so tired we're done we're out of the tournament not like upset but I'm just like walking away and some guy goes um great paddle and i'm just like oh thanks it's you know whatever you know it's it didn't help me that much and uh he's like no no no i'm like oh sorry oh is it not a great party he said i said great battle and i was like oh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaking of people yelling at me, Isaac and I met a guy, I think Isaac kind of already knew him, but I met a guy in the airport, Thomas, shout out Thomas.

And he boards the flight before us. I'm walking back to my seat and, you know,

kind of give him like a head nod. I got my AirPods in just like, you know, acknowledging like, what's up Thomas? You know, whatever. Yeah. Hey, good luck at your pickleball tournament. Dude. Shut up.

Shut up. Good luck with that colonoscopy later. I hope they find out if it's benign or not. I look pretty massive on your back to me when you showed me earlier. Hope you get some help

That's okay, Tommy. Yeah. Oh, okay, Thomas. Yeah, I won't mention your bedwetting. I won't mention it. Yeah, good luck getting through this without incontinence on this flight. Intercontinental, huh? Yeah.

A seat closer to the back, Thomas. Yeah, that's funny. I think Isaac may have had his first time in an airplane bathroom. I don't know. Did you? Was that your first time? Airplane bathroom? Yeah, Isaac came back and he goes, whoa, those things are small.

I'm like, hey, you're 6'3". You need to say something? This wasn't the time I need you to defend yourself, but you can still you still say something you need to That would be good clips on YouTube What did you use holding his head a lot so I only fly internationally so my planes were a lot bigger than that I was used to bigger bathrooms That's another thing here Isaac stick around I thinkac might have a little bit of a hearing problem he was shouting on this airplane for he shouted the our flight there to like some guy who's being

really nice and they were talking for a while he just hit another shelf geez guys out of control the whole thing down but it's nice to know it's only a picture frame but then on the way back um which i'll talk about our flight here in a little but then on the way back um which i'll talk about our flight here in a little bit but on the way back isaac and i sit next to each other and we have friends sitting across from us some pickleball friends and um we find out that oh tavon also plays digital chess so we're like oh we're gonna play each other in tests so isaac and tavon are playing chess across the aisle and i don't even know what provoked this but I know where Isaac just yells Tavon beat me a chest It was so loud. It's like dude everyone can hear that

No, no You know cuz there is that hum on an airplane so you do have to talk a little louder I'm not used to talking on airplanes. I mean he screamed it Nice battling chest Tavon I screamed it. Great chess battle. Nice battle in chess, Davon. Great battle. Great battle. Anyway, you may defend yourself now. This isn't making fun of you.

Is this what I need to defend myself about? Yeah, yeah. Do you have a hearing problem per se? No, I don't have a hearing problem. I don't really need to defend myself. I think I was just talking pretty loud, like you said. I think I just screamed. I was probably just yelling way too loud.

Oh, it was awesome. You were excited about the chess? Yeah, I wasn't super excited. I lost in chess. But I wanted to let Jake know that Tavon beat me in chess. What did Jake say back? Screamed it. Dude, shut up.

Dude, that was way too loud. You said that so loud. I don't really care, first of all. Second off, shut up. Oh, it was awesome. It was about as loud as the shelf bump right there. Really jarring. Really gets your attention.

Yeah. I like to make rude awakenings, you know. You hit your heads on shelves a lot. That's your thing. Speaking of getting bloody. Oh, yeah. Tell the story. this was on the airplane as well. As soon as Jake and I are leaving Phoenix and we're boarding our flight, as soon as I step on to the plane, I feel I feel like I have a runny nose.

And for me, I know it's not a runny nose. I know it is a bloody nose because I get them quite often. And being in Arizona, it's super dry there. And so I just know I'm like, this is a bloody nose. And I also have a mask on, which is not ideal with the bloody nose. Am I trying to like hold my but I bought it. So there's a lot of time. It's awesome.

Go Chiefs kind of red and white on that mask. All right. That's important, though. The flight attendant is right there. And so luckily, I'm just like, hey, do you have any napkins? I got a bloody nose, maybe a tampon, some napkins. And and so she gives me some but there's not much i can do with napkins through a mask like i don't want to like take as i'm like walking by all the people that are already seated in this tight airplane i don't want to be like walking by like trying to like

cover up and i'm also kind of embarrassed that i'm just oh definitely i felt bad for you yeah i was like i didn't want to i didn't want people to know i was bleeding so i didn't really do anything with those napkins i just kind of let it bleed in the mask and i feel i feel my mask just is getting wet it is soaking and like i feel it pressing up against my lips my lips are bloody now this is not fun and you don't think you could have like tucked the the napkins under just like, it wouldn't have shown because there's like a natural, like, like those maxi pad commercials. Yeah. Well, so what I did was I passed my seat.

Luckily, like I gave Jake my luggage and he put it up for me. Thank you, Jake. That was very helpful. Tight fit. And so it was, yeah. But I just went, even trying to get the luggage out, I couldn't, I was trying to be fast, but I just go straight back to the bathroom very small bathroom um don't have much room to work with i really did barely fit in

there because i was still having a backpack or i still had my backpack on smart like go to the bathroom with the back yeah i mean i was in a hurry i was just discombobulated however you say that word um thanks guys um but anyway yeah go to the bathroom, take off my mask. I just throw my mask away because it is, it's just drenched in blood and then I get some tissues. Luckily I had an extra mask in my backpack already. So that was clutch, but got some tissues. And then I kind of did what you were saying is I just,

I plugged my nose, put the mask on. No one could ever tell, but it was just uncomfortable and not fun. Okay. So, well, I'm sorry. So you, it was coming back from Arizona. Yeah, it was on uncomfortable and not fun okay so well i'm sorry so you it was coming back from arizona yeah it was on the way back right when we stepped on the plane yeah that was the uh first mishap on the plane do you want to tell them about the second second one was about an hour into the flight and we hear this announcement and just like hey we've uh received word we have some sort of technical difficulties with the plane we are going to be turning around and going back to Phoenix

They want to work on this plane in Phoenix And I was kind of waiting for like is this a joke or is you know pilots like to be comedians? I feel like this is their time to like show off that they have a sense of humor I don't feel like they usually joke about like the place. Oh, we're actually going down right now I'm just goofing up here. We got a funny cockpit today for you guys. We got a bomb on this plane. No, I'm just playing, guys.

I got you. It's like a bomb. And anyway, it was not a joke. And so we just, I've never had that happen on any plane I've been on. And I should have learned my lesson. This is an American flight in Phoenix. I should have known something bad was gonna happen. So We have to turn around back at Phoenix This is where I remember my set saga sag

Saga, yeah, my cigar trying to get to yo's might I got stuck in Phoenix because of an American flight So it happened all over again. Well, I mean in a different way Yeah, fly back to Phoenix have to get to Yozmite. Yes. I got stuck in Phoenix because of an American flight. So it happened all over again. Well, I mean, in a different way. Yeah. Fly back to Phoenix, have to get on a new plane and then do the like two and a half hour flight again.

Meanwhile, I was supposed to be on a live stream that we had told all of Trey's Facebook followers, four and a half million people, hey, big live stream, you know, today at three. And then I had to text Trey.

I felt so bad. Like I'm already missing like a half day work anyway. And I was like, not going to make gonna make it our pilots pulling a u-turn so that was a bummer i need someone to explain to me how we can be an hour and a half into the flight or hour 15 minutes into the flight and the pilot comes overhead it's like 38 minutes back until we land in phoenix yeah i think how does that work put it in some sort of extra pilot gear on the way back like i think we've talked about this before on the podcast and you know

our flight was delayed 30 minutes to start i forgot about that already delayed then i turned around but yeah they're like we're gonna make up that time in the air it would be nice to just do that all the time i think yeah why don't we let's always make up time in the air well i know that um southwest like purposely says the flight time is an hour and a half or whatever even if it's like actually like an hour 15 minutes so they can like boast that they always have on time flight oh nice and so so i think that probably happens more often than you think like where they're like yeah we're gonna make some of that up we're gonna go a little faster it's like really you're just driving the speed limit but but you say it like

it's like google maps say it takes you know 45 minutes to get there when it really only takes 42 so one other thing i'm, this was a little unsettling. The pilot goes, I think he made a separate announcement. All right, we are now 38 minutes away from wheels down at Phoenix. I don't really know what the plan is when we get there, so we'll just let you know. It's like, oh, dang. I don't think this happens a lot.

Oh, you mean like when he was coming back? Yeah, on the way back. He's just like, I don't really know what we're going to gonna i don't know if it's this plane or we're gonna be on another plane or how long you guys are gonna be sitting there but we'll let you know well i hope it's not this plane thanks for the announcement like helpful what was the point of this but yeah it was fine they know the plane waiting for us so shout out american shout out good stuff anyway that's a lot about me brad how was your weekend was fun. I just want to say it was fun. Hey, that was fun.

That was fun. My weekend was good, man. My week was good. Catherine and the kids went down to Texas. I was originally supposed to go down to Texas. I don't know if we've talked about that on the podcast, but if you heard Texas froze over, I don't know if everyone in the world. I'm aware.

I think everyone froze over. And so long story short, my dad and I, my parents and I were going to go with Catherine, the kids down in Texas, go to KU basketball game. Did it end up happening? But Catherine still wanted to go down and visit her parents. So she went down and like, I've been, I'm so busy with work anyway, right now that I was like, okay, great. Like I'll just grind and work. And I did, but it still feels like they were only gone for like 24 hours. Like it, it was just, I was just so busy. It's been a busy week and that's a good thing to be busy. I got some good orders coming up, uh, lscusprocreations.com

and had some good dinner time, dinner dates with my boys over here and you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. boys over here and you. We went to Oklahoma Joe's one night. Oh, actually. Okay. I got to give another credit shout out to Isaac. So at Oklahoma Joe's best barbecue in Kansas City. That's it? Just Kansas City? Yeah. Okay. But Kansas City is the barbecue capital of the world. So best barbecue in the world. Okay.

So are you good with that mic? I'm worried about you. We're doing a lot of adjustments on the mic. Is it good? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Oh, okay. Can I open that to you? Isaac's head hit it.

Anyway, okay. So Isaac, there was like a sign that said, free souvenir cup for a limited time while supplies last. And so we looked around. There was nobody else that had souvenir cups in the restaurant. Um, but I was like, Isaac, we should get that cup. Like if, if they have any more of those, I'm definitely getting it. Supplies last. Yeah. And so Isaac was like, Hey, do you guys have any more souvenir cups? They're like, no. And Isaac's like, well, can I just get that one? And they're like, sure. If you can reach it, you can get it. And Isaac's 6'3".

He thinks plain bathrooms are small. Yeah, exactly. And so he reached up there and got it. And I'm just like so proud of you for shooting your shot and being like, hey, can I have this, please? He did it Friday, too. You know what I say to that? You learn from the best. Brad's the best.

Is that what you say? That's what you say. That's what I say. Anyway, I was proud of him. He kind of did something like that Friday. We went to this cool place at Phoenix. Oh, shout out. We met a listener of the pod, Kristen.

Kristen was there. Kristen was there. Kristen was there. Okay. Yes. Yes. And anyway, I got there. Why was I late?

We all rode together. I don't know why I wasn't with him. You were pooping. Just pooping. Yeah, I got there. Why was I late? We all rode together. I don't know why I wasn't with him. You were pooping. Just pooping. Yeah, I'd be. And Isaac worked his magic and got us free putt-putt. We got there like 8.59. Like, ooh, we closed putt-putt at like 9.

And Isaac goes, oh, I mean, but we drove all the way from Kansas City to go to castles and stuff. Which is not what it's called called but it's almost what the place is called so butchers the name but still like finagles uh his way into getting seven of us free putt putt wow yeah that's that's a good yeah he's on a roll right now love it dude suv cups free putt putt are you like only gonna do that like i'm way more ambitious and uh brave and bold whenever somebody else is with me like yeah like do you ever would you try to get free putt putt by yourself sometime not so much yeah it'd be a little sad if you were putt putting by yourself anyway um so did you just randomly see this girl that was a ghost friend listener or did you meet

up with her no it was uh it was planned uh she brought her sister and named gabby and then isaac's friend mike oh i guess too yeah gabby odom so we had two gabbys and then get this hole four brad it's called gabby's hole no hot dog what a coinkydink yeah that's fun it was fun so did they talk to each other were they gabbing gabbys nice yeah yeah they did they gabbed well other? Were they gabbing Gabby's? Nice. Yeah. Yeah. They gabbed. Well, okay. So I asked that because I had, I asked like, did they, did you know this person beforehand? Because I was, um, moving, I helped my aunts move, like donate a bed earlier this week. Good for you guys.

So went down there and they, they wanted to use my truck and I was loading it up in their neighbor comes outside. He's, I don't know, 35, 40 years old and walks out and just kind of stands on his step. And it's kind of like, it was like looking out. It was a nice day. So I was like, maybe he's just enjoying the day. And he like, just kind of looking out on his driveway.

And then he turns to me and he just goes, Ghost Runners podcast. And I was like, it was like, it was like kind of surreal. I was like, what? And he's like, it was like, it was like kind of surreal. I was like, what? And he's like, ghost runners. You're. And I was like, like for a second, I felt like I was fricking, you know, I don't know. Ryan Gosling.

I was so popular. And then my aunt's like, oh yeah, we, we told, we told him about it. We sent out a newsletter at all the neighbors about what you're up to. But he's like, yeah, I follow you guys on Instagram. Listen to your podcast. Oh, so he's listening right now. Yeah. And his name's. His name's Jerry. I think. i don't remember your name i'm so sorry neighbor jerry

mary and janet's neighbor yeah so i i don't know honestly but it's a shout out to him shout out neighbor but but for a second i was like holy cow i made it like people are just noticing me on a random cul-de-sac gardener from front porches. Uh-huh. My front porch looking in ghost runners. And that's all. That's all people say when they meet me. Just a couple of nods. Hey, ghost runners. Like the end of a full dress coffee commercial.

You're just kind of sipping and none. Ghost runners podcast. That's good. That's good. So good. Ghost runners podcast. Anyway, that was a funny time. I just kind of remembered something like that, too.

As soon as we get to the pickleball tournament, this is Saturday. We just went to watch a little bit. I watched the pros play a little bit Saturday. We show up for a little bit. And within 15 minutes, I had my neighbor Jerry moment. Oh, really? Things were happening fast as soon as I get there. We're watching.

We've got, we're like facing the pro pickleball court. And this guy comes up behind me and just goes, let's get some vibes over here. And I was like, what? Did I even hear that correctly? Isaac said, he was like, I thought you said that. Like, I thought I just whisper just goes let's get some vibes over here and i was like what did i even hear that correctly isaac said he was like i thought you said that like i thought i just whispered let's get some vibes over here but i turned around and it's uh some guy named dusty dusty dusty dusty the podcast guy dusty works for vulcan pickleball okay and he said that he listens to the pod i guess one of their um you might have said intern or maybe just one of their the girl who does their social media like was already a listener okay and then

got some other people in the office to listen i guess and yeah so dusty's been listening and just came up behind me and said let's get some vibes on here and i was very thrown off i i was like he was like i figured you just say let's get some vibes up in here right back i'm like no dude i don't i sure you do that every single day with your friends like let's get some vibes up in here i was like that threw me off a, but like super great to meet you. And yeah, it was really fun. So that happens. And then actually like five minutes before that, we showed up with our own food because

we were smart this day. Yeah. And I think we had half in and out. I can't have in and out. So then I had, and then me and Luke had Chipotle. No seats anywhere. I guess everyone knows to bring your own Luke had Chipotle. No seats anywhere. I guess everyone knows to bring your own lawn chairs to Phoenix.

We did not. Sure. So I'm just sitting crisscross applesauce on the ground. Everyone else is done eating. I'm just still sitting in the grass eating my burrito like a rat. Crisscross applesauce. And then this girl who recognized me from Instagram comes up and she's like the Aaron Andrews of pickleball. She's like doing like the postgame interviews. She is wearing this like long red dress. She's in heels. Oh yeah. She is by far the most beautiful person at this entire tournament.

And she just goes, Oh my gosh, Jake. And I am just in the least attractive position you could possibly imagine. Basically the fetal position. Yeah. am just in the least attractive position you could possibly imagine. Basically the fetal position. Yeah, just sitting in the grass, eating a burrito. Eating your rice and queso. Oh, hey. Hurry, yeah. Yeah, right?

That's awesome. And like cleaning up stuff in my face. You got rice like dribbling down your- And then I'm like, do I stand up? But also like it's COVID. It's not like I'm going to give her a side hug. Plus I got a burrito in my hand. So I fist bumped her.

Oh. I'm going to like give her a side hug. Plus I got a burrito in my hand. So I fist bumped her. Oh, Isaac and Harrison are not reacting great to that. What was I supposed to do? Not fist bump her. I wanted to make contact. You obviously offered to share with her. I fist bumped her.

What's up? I said, great paddle. And then I walked away. Oh my God. Great paddle. Yeah Paddle on her. Oh, that's Yeah, I could just imagine I didn't go horizontal. I think this is important. I went I went portrait. I went portrait mode I don't think that's any better. What?

Didn't hammer. Oh, I wasn't like moving it was like straight on but vertical Which I think is like more like it's like more friendly. It's not like give me some knocks, bro Like this is like seventh grade. We just learned about this dude. No, I think I think I know it's auto What do you do? He definitely go vertical. Oh That's not Yeah, thank you yeah vertical is definitely the move that much better yeah don't act like this makes it better

at all like no matter what you should not have fist bumped her so what should I have done honestly you should have stood up and just talked to her I think probably shouldn't have stayed down on the ground no how long was this conversation I would say three and a half minutes too long yeah I think you just sort of probably shouldn't have stayed down on the ground. No. How long was this conversation? I would say three and a half minutes.

Too long. Yeah. I think if it's just like, she's passing by like, Hey, how you doing? Doing well. How are you doing? Well, good to see you. You too. Boom. Great.

You stay seated. But once you get the knucks, you're like, I got to stand up to knock you. Seated fist bump. Now I'm thinking about it. Yeah. That might've been my first ever seated to standing fist bump of my life i really oh she just totally like just established dominance oh she did yeah yeah i mean she's already in heels and you crisscrossed you should uncrossed uncrossed yeah should have done a lot of things was this when you were also

wearing the like jean shorts thing thank Thank goodness I was normally dressed this day. Yeah, I looked somewhat normal, I guess. Yeah, normal clothes. Oh, I was wearing Luke's mom's sunglasses. Had Nancy's sunglasses on. That probably didn't help. Why are you single? It's a mystery, you know?

Dude, yeah. This has been a recurring thing of like me telling like stories and then guys reacting reacting like oh you should not have done that another one this happened a while ago another thing i did i took a girl to coffee and uh it was one of those stores where they don't let you just like choose you know you don't sign you don't click receipt like they do it all for you you know it's like behind the glass so i order for both of us i pay for both of us and then she flips it around she goes okay now what selection would you like me to make here and it's the tip screen i have to say out loud how much i want to tip and i'm not a tipper at coffee shops yeah i'm just not yeah it's going to get split up between all the employees i think you're already getting paid to do exact you know whatever

i don't need it yeah it's I just not, I think I do. And I have the same principle too. Most of the time I don't open a car door for a girl on a date. Cause I'm like, I can't keep this up. This is like a fake. What? Always open the car door. This is a fake version of myself.

Like I'm not going to continue doing this. Why not? I don't want to pretend being like a version of myself that I'm not. Okay. Right. Like I'm going to be extremely polite still. I'm going to be like very much a gentleman, but I'm not going to like act and do things that I'm not going to like continue to do okay that's just my philosophy and i'm sure a lot

of people are like jake you idiot and maybe i should start opening the car door i would i would yeah maybe i should are you gonna open like doors for him like oh sure so why why not open the car door it's so unnatural but that's that's kind of like part of the charm of it that it's so unnatural that it's like that's like oh i'm sacrificing for you like this is not like as convenient as it would be for me to just go around and go to my door i guess it's just not my thing i know it's okay but i'm also not a tipper i'm like well i'm not just gonna pretend like i'm some big coffee tipper now and so he's like what's like you really make i'm like no tip and then the worst part is she goes,

I'm sorry, what? Oh, I got to say it again. Okay. Oh, I said, Oh, I wonder. Yeah. I wonder if that's a strategy. Do you think that is?

Say that one more time out loud in front of her. Sorry, my name is Isaac and I'm hard of hearing. So I don't know what you said. Damn on, beat me in chess. What did you say? No tip. Not even a little bit.

I would, you gotta always say not today.. Not even a little bit. I would, you gotta always say not today. Oh, that's my thing. Would you like to round up? You know, not today. At Panda, yeah. Not today. I said, do you want a sip?

Do you want a sip of my mouth once I get that? He either said, go down to the throat or you want to rip your float. Harrison gets it. Yeah. Obscure movie quotes.

He's my guy. Heavyweights. Kind of. Finding Nemo. Finding Nemo. Yeah. You knowure movie quotes. He's my guy. Heavyweights. Kind of. Finding Nemo. Finding Nemo. Yeah. You know, it was either Ellen DeGeneres or... Ben Stiller.

Ben Stiller. Yeah, that's the two things. Oh, man. That's really funny about the tipping. Oh, it was brutal. So Kevin, our friend Kevin, used to work for a coffee shop, McLean's, and he said, like, if you are ordering food, then it's like a little more customary tip really than if you are just ordering drinks.

Okay. Or maybe if you're ordering, like if you're kind of like making them bend over back, like if you're like, if you don't just order a vanilla latte, you order a three pumps and then it's light cream and soy, that kind of thing. Maybe,

maybe you throw a little bit more of their way, but then again, like you're probably paying like $18 for that latte now because it's like all these extra things, but. Okay. I'm done. I'm done incriminating myself, fist bumping, not tipping. It's been a rough episode for me. Open the doors, man. Keys open doors. Uh, let's see. Okay. Dang, maybe I should start opening the doors. I absolutely think you have to. You think I have to? Yeah. I think it just shows respect. It's not like the girls are going to ultimately think that you're going to open her door for

the rest of her life. But it's like, oh, I'm respecting you in this way and just showing that I view you as special. What if I say all of that out loud? It rises over and hey, by no means am I ever going to do this for you in the future. But I do respect you and I value you and I'm willing to do something that's a little bit inconvenient for me because of how much I respect you. I think that's good. Yeah. I think you always, always point out your like good things that you're doing to them. Keep score. We've talked about this. It's good. FYI,

I'm going to pay for you. Uh, even though like you have just as much money as I do, maybe more, you know, law school seemed like it was a great time. Let's talk about it. So yeah. Um, but I'm going to pay and I'm not keeping a tab. It's not like it was a great time let's talk about it so yeah um but i'm going to pay and i'm not keeping a tab it's not like it's 313 to zero right now you know or anything like that i'm not going to keep track so but just just fyi i'm doing this because i'm selfless and i'm trying to make you special so no back in the day when it was cold outside i would be like hey i want to open your door but i also want to go start the car for you and so i would we'd like be running to the car catherine would open her own door okay so that's kind of like a i'm thinking of you but i'm also thinking

of you to start the car yeah so i won't open your car door but i'm not great at turning left kind of a zoolander yeah yeah easier for me to open my own yeah how could i do that i'm not great at pivoting yeah uh anyway well okay it sounds like maybe you need this next thing i'm going to talk about um kansas city and maybe you've seen this because one of them is on the way home from Trey's house. They have two different billboards that I've seen that are very, very uplifting to me. Oh, you get a free furnace. No. Oh, no, we all seen that one?

Free furnace. Yeah, yeah. We're talking. There's one that always says like, your wife is hot. Is that the one you're talking about? He has great ads. Your wife is hot. I also met another one of his daughters this week.

The plumber's daughter. He's got a lot of them. Two out of 12, baby. 12? Yeah. Wow. Full does. He's got some full pipes.

He brings the pipe, baby. He lays the pipe. Oh, man. Anyway. Clogs. I'm not going to say it. He's got a new thing going. Free February.

Like, freebuary. You get, like, a free furnace. Yeah, that's right. I buy 35. But what does that have to do with... I don't know. Conditions apply. I didn't read the fine print.

Well, no. I was just going to say, like... That's my favorite billboard. There's a billboard, and there's no advertisement on it. It just literally says, you've got this. That's all it says. You've got this. And it has like a person like going like this, like putting their hand, giving vertical fist

bump. That's the way to do it. Uh, you've got this. That's all it said. And it was like on a Monday I saw it. I was like, yeah, I do. I got this. That helped.

It did a little. Really? I mean, it was, it was like, obviously that was not the main motivation of like my joy, but it was like, that's a nice sign. You've got this that helped it did a little really I mean it was it was like obviously that was not the main motivation of like my joy but it was like that's a nice sign you've got this

and then there was another sign when I was driving to Olathe the other day it just said you are incredible I'm like what who's paying for these

the you are incredible one was a hospital I don't know it was like with a little baby on it so so maybe it's talking about like human life

is incredible but it was just it felt like they said you. So I was like, okay, I've got this and I'm incredible. So Jake, even if you don't tip, you've got this. You're incredible. Thank you.

um speaking of being incredible uh something that Hattie so Catherine loves obviously Hattie loves books Catherine loves teaching her and one of the things that they're doing now I think it's called big words for little geniuses or something like that oh cool yeah it's something that I feel like you would have loved as a little kid and probably still to this day. Um, but it's just like, it's just like an ABC book and every single, you know, different letter has one word. It's like a crazy long, some of them are crazy long. Some of them are just kind of obscure. Okay. Um, yeah, I haven't read the book honestly. So I don't know. Facetious is the P word. Facetious. Harrison just gave me a big look.

Facetious. But anyway, it's kind of fun because like, like, I mean, you'll, you'll literally hear Hattie like say these words now. Like she'll be like, I have bibliomania,

you know? And I don't know if she really remembers what all of them mean. Like she called me a curmudgeon the other day. Like, Oh dad, stop being a curmudgeon. No way. Yeah. Scallywag is one of them, I think. Like, Oh dad, stop being a curmudgeon. No way. Yeah.

Scallywag is one of them, I think. Oh, but the best one is T is took us. No way. And so, and so like, uh,

I don't remember exactly what it was, but I think she like use it in context the other day. Like, like, Oh, did you get her or something? She says, I feel like she said,

yeah, I hurt my took us. And I was like, are you kidding me? Like, this is like, like perfect, you know, perfect for the podcast. So, um, young, young hurt my tuchus. And I was like, are you kidding me? Like, this is like, like perfect, you know, perfect for the podcast.

So, um, young, young geniuses. I hurt my tuchus. Yeah. That's awesome. My tuchus. I'll try to remember any of the other ones. Uh. Is apple knocker on there?

Apple knocker. No, let me see. I actually pulled up some of the, A is arachibutyrophobia. Arachibutyrophobia. There's no way this is right. No, no. Arachibutyrophobia is the alarming fear of peanut butter sticking to the top of your mouth. This is in her book?

Yeah. Next to Tukus? Yeah. Bibliomania. They have ABCD on this. What's bibliomania? I don't know what that means either. It is the love for collecting books.

Okay. Bibliotheca. That makes sense. And so she thinks she has bibliomania. C is catawampus. I thought C was curmudgeon. Maybe Catherine's just teaching her to do curmudgeon. Maybe curmudgeon's K.

Maybe, but I think it starts with a C. Yeah. Anyway, and then D is dulcifluous. Dulciflucif dulcifluous dulcifluous dulcifluous the delightful word dulcifluous sounds like what it means flowing sweetly and gently oh like oh i have dulcifluous cursive writing that's not what it sounds like it means dulcifluous like just like that's hard to say it's not sweet and gentle i think it's flowy dulcifluous that's very dulcifluous oh it's just maybe maybe gentle i think it's flowy to syphilis it's very to syphilis oh it's just maybe maybe right put some salt spice in my hair mad to syphilis that sounds like you

just got you just contracted something oh i just got to syphilis yeah i was in phoenix all weekend it was brass monkeys outside now i'm all to syphilis how's medical school going good we're on the std section we just got to syphilis. To syphilis. To syphilis. Nice. But yeah, anyway. So Hattie's going to be a genius.

She's going to be saying fun things with Tukus. One thing I wanted to say, I have a new chair. I've been sitting on really not great chairs the whole time we've been doing this podcast. But today, I went to Office. What was Isaac? Office Max or Depot? Where did I go today office max office max today and i think they are messing with me i don't go into office max a lot in fact maybe first time ever okay and i think they have so few customers it's kind of depressing place these days yeah they're like let's mess with them and so i really only have two examples but it's enough to be like, yeah, I think something's going on.

I walk in and the guy goes, uh, Hey, have you been helped today? And I'm like, I walk in. Yeah. I must've heard him wrong, but I'm like, Oh, I'm all good. I'm just going to get a chair. And then it's like still in my head. I'm like, I must've heard him wrong. But then I'm within earshot. Another customer comes in five minutes later and he says the same thing.

Hey, have you been helped today? I'm like, I don't know if he knows English. It's like, it's like someone saying, I think within earshot. Another customer comes in five minutes later and he says the same thing. Hey, have you been helped today? I'm like, I don't know if he knows English. It's like it's like someone saying, I think when they really know, like like surely they know that you haven't been helped today. I think it's even worse than that. I think it's just like it's like, what are you doing? Going out of your way to ask a dumb question. So that happened.

And then I am I'm honestly having a blast. I spent a lot of time in OfficeMax just sitting in all these display chairs. I mean, there's 19 of them to choose from. It was so fun. And, you know, just get like, oh, my gosh, this is $350. But, oh, it feels amazing. Maybe I should. It's time to fall out.

No, no, no, I shouldn't. I shouldn't. And it was super fun. It's also like once you open it, this goes for anything. Like once you start to learn about anything, it's like I can't believe I didn't know before. If I had a mid-back or high- back chair, I've never cared about chairs before. And then today I was like, what do I have at home? Wow. How do I not even know what office chair I have at home? I don't even know the brand or anything. Now you're going to know his office

chairs for the next two years. I'm in no office chairs now, but I'm sitting in one and a guy comes up to me and I should have written it down, but I think he said, hey, do you need help with that chair? And I was like, no. And I'm just, no. How would you help? Like both questions. I'm trying to figure out how to sit in it. Yeah, is this right?

Do I go legs down? How's my posture? Yeah. Yeah. Do you need help with that chair? Yeah, am I right side up on this? Or you like put your head on the ground? Let me see you sit in it yeah let me just make sure i i'm a visual learner yeah you do it yeah but yeah i

felt bad just being like no they're they're looking for they're just wanting to help they they haven't seen a customer while they forgot what questions to ask people yeah real life you need help you're in a chair huh yeah yeah yeah your pipes are leaking uh oh what was i gonna say that's a leak shoot i had a thought oh um it was when you walked in have you been helped i don't know dwight in the office when he's like i'll be right here if you need me yeah literally anything you need yeah anyway i can't remember it now that's okay um just just the i guess the idea of yeah always like like once you own a house like you're gonna notice all that stuff too like yeah you fix one thing like you fix your crown molding and then you notice everybody's crown

molding and trim and stuff i can't wait to start noticing stuff so let's look look at the way harrison is working on his computer right now talk about a guy who may not sit in a chair right he's got the screen part of the laptop parallel with the ground. Yeah, look at Brad on YouTube right now. And he's half crisscross applesauce. He's half cross. And he's working looking straight down. Do you type or are you just clicking only? Clicking only.

He's clicking only. That's just interesting. Big Harry. Big Harry. Shaved Harry. Hey, yeah. Up top. Harry's just interesting. Big, hairy, shaved, hairy. Hey, yeah. Up top. Hairy's not hairy. Yeah. I went to get my haircut this week. I already told you this, but it's kind of a funny story. So, um, so Marv, I talked about him a while back on the podcast that he had COVID really bad and whatever, like just hadn't, hadn't gotten my haircut a long time because of him. And I knew he had COVID,

but I didn't realize this. Like he literally like was in a coma for 28 days. He said, Holy cow. December 16th to 28 days from December 16th. Um, he was in a coma and like, yeah,

had like really struggled. Like said the doctor was like, you are our first miracle patient that I've ever had. Like you should have died. And now he's just back to cutting your hair. And now he's like grinding back on the hair grind. Like he said, this was the second day back of,

of cutting hair. But he said his first day back, he cut 32, 32 heads of hair. That's pretty good. 32 heads. It's former farmer, I think.

Yeah, exactly. He is kind of, I mean, he's old school. He's an old school guy. And anyway, she's telling me all this stuff.

And literally he probably, I heard the same story while he was cutting my hair five times. Cause every single time somebody came in, yeah, it's my second day back was actually in a coma for 28 days, you know, and it, you know, save conversation over and over again. I was literally the only one there probably under 70 years old. And I love that. Like that's, that's my element. Like it's, it's fun to do that every once in a while. Anyway and i had told him like vaguely what my haircut like what i wanted i was just like i always just tell people like two on the sides and just finger length trim on top and he's like okay just a trim on top two on the side sounds good um and for whatever reason he the way his barbershop is set up he only has one chair and he cuts it he cuts your hair away from the mirror which i feel

like is very rare it's like used car salesman of him. Yeah. Yeah. Usually it's like, there's two mirrors and you can kind of see both sides and whatever. Um, you know what I mean? Like, like a front and a back mirror and he gets done and he turns me around and he didn't really cut very much off the top of my hair. Like I thought my head could be the coma, but I was like, I can't say anything. This guy's literally like, like literally was on his deathbed. He's been to heaven and back. Yeah. You're not going to hassle him about an extra quarter of an inch.

I'm like, yeah, thank you. It looks good. This is awesome. So now my hair is a little like Travis Kelsey-ish, you know, remember Travis Kelsey had like long hair. Sure. Yeah. So I don't know.

I still haven't like not, I haven't like tried to style it or anything yet. So we'll see what it's like. Oh, okay. But Catherine earlier today was like, FYI, I think your hair's a little too long on top yeah and that's always the worst like whenever you know the wife like if my wife approves i don't care what anybody else thinks but that's nice yeah she wants me to open doors for her and have nice hair how like you still open car doors for her sorry i'm still back no not not always definitely not when we have kids and like we're both running out the door and stuff like that but at first date though

you definitely did oh for two three years i bet every single time really i mean not every time but 90 of the time i like the idea of sparsing it in and it's like oh it's a fun surprise yeah yeah yeah i i always do it still on dates like we go but we don't go on that many dates anymore unfortunately so but yeah anytime there's like an intentional night where we're dressed up and your hairs. Yeah. Hey, hey,

hey, yeah. Santo Mac is out. Hey, what's up? How's your mom? How's your mom? I know because she's my mother-in-law.

So don't get me started on mother-in-laws. Oh, my mother, my mother-in-law. Oh, that was funny that Isaac randomly didn't have anything downloaded on his phone whenever he was like flying. So the only thing he had downloaded was episode 24 of Ghostwriters, which was Santorini McCleskey episode. Yeah.

So thanks, Isaac. Thanks for the extra listen this week. Yeah, man. We needed that. I'll Venmo you. Come on. One last thing that I've got written down. I just like I got to give a quick shout out to Spencer who's listening to the podcast and Parker they do you know about this? No, but we have night the corner thing Spencer

Oh that too. Yeah. Well, it's first shout out is they drove to Phoenix to surprise us. No What they showed up in Phoenix? So so it's like saturday our tournaments until sunday we're we found like a public pickleball court on saturday i just kind of mess around and i hit the shot and i kind of like run up against the fence and then i just hear nice shot and i look up and it's spencer shipley in phoenix i was like no way what what in the world are you doing here i know am i getting to? Like that's the only kind of surprise of this magnitude I would be like, like getting right now.

It's a proposal. I love that feeling. Like not the proposed theme, but like I've never been surprised like that or just such a massive, it felt like a Mr. Beast or a David Dobrik video. Like this is like such an extreme thing

that you did. Yeah. And especially when I found out like, they drove. They drove. That's a long, I've driven that drive and it is a long drive i think it was 19 spencer did it all himself really yeah straight

yeah what yeah did he just go bang energy the whole time yeah we asked three three oh my gosh that's amazing no i hadn't heard that but But yeah, pretty cool. They also installed our boxes that we have behind us. I paid them handsomely to assemble these boxes. I've done assembling things. I did assemble a chair today and about halfway through. Definitely. We're going to that, too. Yeah, I've done it. Fixing anything. They offered you a fifteen dollar fee to put it together. Should have done it. Yeah. While you were doing it, you're like, gosh, fifteen dollars. Seems kind of nice right now um but no spencer had the idea so we bought eight of these boxes and probably in your your camera lens right now if you're on

youtube.com slash ghost runners podcast google uh you can see four boxes behind jake three boxes behind me where's the set eighth box where's the eighth box w what's in the eight box uh is in the corner uh spencer had the idea of doing a patreon only box and just every single week just putting something else in there and putting on patreon so they're the only ones who get to see what's in that exclusive content that you will only see on patreon what's in the box we've made vlogs we are doing private instagram stories you know bonus episodes but guys think about the box. You got to join for the box. It's insane, dude.

Yeah. So we're going to call it the Spencer Shipley Memorial Patreon only box. Patreon only box. Yeah. It'll ring to it. It does. Was it that,

Isaac, you might know, Roddy Ricch song? Was it called the box? It's a little bit of a box. Then a box. Then a box. Yeah, I know that one. That was nice.

That was it. Yeah, I know it. Let it be. Let it be. Let it be. Good day, sunshine. Yeah. Bye, Jeep.

Oh, man. That's good. That's good. We got some... What we got this week we got some voicemail we have some voice memos for some people who listen to our podcast okay let's do it let's listen to them hi jake and brad my name is rayessa and i am a graduate student in rochester new york it's a beautiful name i just want to say thank you so much for the podcast it brings me so much joy and makes me feel like i am friends with you guys.

So I started playing pickleball recently. I absolutely love it. The other day when I was playing pickleball, a very attractive young man came and played with us for a little bit. And I was very smitten. Okay. Okay, Raessa. and I was very smitten okay okay the question to be for you guys is do you have any pickleball related pickup lines that I could use on this boy next time he comes because I have been told

I am terrible at flirting so I need all the help I can get um thank you so much for all you do keep up the good work all right bye-bye okay two things one reyesa is a cool name it seems like she was driving down the road and saw rachel and then took a quick left turn when she saw like tessa alissa or something yeah you know what reyesa reyesa reyesa reyesa is my name or or like she grew up like her parents grew up in the South and her dad's name was Ray. And you're like, what's your name? Ray? Ray. Yes.

Yeah. Ray. Yes. Ray. Yes. That's my name. I like that name a lot. That's pretty.

Okay. First of all, just random tangent. How do you feel about grown women calling grown men boys? Because Catherine still calls me like, yeah, I married a boy. Like I got married, you know, and so I have to live with a boy. And it's like, yeah, I married a boy. Like I got married, you know, and so I have to live with the boy. And it's like,

yeah, you deliver the man. No, I'm just kidding. It's just funny. Like, I don't think, I guess,

I guess I always heard girls call them guys. Like, yeah, I have to live with a guy. Boy just makes you sound like you're five. I will say on the basketball court, I really don't like being called boy. Okay. But when girls are saying it, what's the context of I will say on the basketball court, I really don't like being called boy. Okay.

But when girls are saying it, what's the context of being called boy on the basketball court? Like, uh, like more like, yeah, boy. Or like,

I mean, Hey, get that boy over there. Yeah. Who's got a white boy? Boy to boy. Who's, Hey,

so we get the little white boy. We go into three or boy to boy. No, not like that. Like, uh, yeah. Just like demeaning. like you're a little boy oh okay i got you a little boy and it's usually white boy like almost every time gotcha yeah gotcha

um that's not as fun anyway anyway she wants she wants pickleball pickup lines i think uh what you do is you say, hey, I don't know about you, but I don't believe in traditional gender roles, so you won't find me in the kitchen. No, very good. You will not, not once, not once. Hey, you trying out the,

you still do the traditional serve or are you doing the drop serve? Yeah. Because how would you like to get served some dinner and then you drop me off by midnight? Yeah. What do you think about that? How would you like to get served? Oh yeah, that's good, yeah. Yeah, I used use the word yeah in my sentence well i'm trying to think she's

it's a girl so the girl's serving dinner yeah that's good um i would just be like okay i don't know let's see uh let's say there's like a nice a nice 20 hit dink rally at the net oh sure you know you're like oh that's some big dink rally at the net. Oh, sure. And then, you know, you're like, oh, that's some big dink energy. Oh, gosh. Yes. That could be one. Yes. Harrison just squeaked.

Harrison just had a big dink energy. I don't know. I'm trying to think of something with serve and like, yeah, I'll serve you. Yeah. But you said it already. I'm trying to, I don't know. I'm trying to think of something with serve and like, yeah, I'll serve you. Yeah. But you said it already. I don't want to get too technical. There's like all these words I could say.

That was part of like, okay, how technical is this guy? Does he know what an Ernie is? Let's go Ernie. Me love you long time. Me so Ernie. I get it. I get it. More than a squeak this time live studio audience is great you got any more? an ATP is a big thing I'll let you come up with the acronym

hey boy you ever hit ATPs? yeah I'm talking about I'm talking about appetizers, tacos and pastries. For dessert. That's what we do.

That's the three-course meal. ATP. ATP. Yeah, that's good. Shoot. I don't have, I'm off my game. I can't think of any right now. Maybe it's like, ooh, how you find out kind of his relationship status.

Yeah. So you've been playing singles a while? Because I have. Yeah. You're going to play doubles? play doubles yeah me too i just have not been able to find a mixed partner yeah no not like racially no no it's called like in tournaments they call it mix you play guys and girls together that's a mixed mixed doubles yeah yeah yeah but if you i'm not opposed to like if you you look tan i don't know what yeah you're not okay okay you're white you okay that's cool it's summertime yeah it's not cooler than anything else but that's it's awesome If you look tan, I don't know. You're not. You're white. That's cool.

It's summertime. It's not cooler than anything else, but that's awesome. You're normal. I love you. Date me. I don't want a tip. I don't want a tip. Nice battle.

Great battle. Ray Essa. Ray Essa. Let us know how it goes. That's more than enough. Yeah. Practical advice is don't say any of those things. Just be a normal person and just say hi. And don't be like a girl athlete.

In the sense of like I'm inferior or in the sense of like I'm too competitive? Like show me the rules. Like, wait, am I holding the paddle right? Okay, yeah. I think sometimes girls do that in a way to flirt. And for most athletic guys don't find that attractive we'd rather you just like facts figure it out yeah that's good i agree that's what i mean by that you can be a girl facts okay next one hi jake and brad my name is margaret i am from massachusetts i think i'm probably your first Massachusetts caller, so let's go. Today, I have a scenario for you.

I want to know what you would think if someone said you had to be on The Amazing Race. I think it would be really cool. I think you'd make a great team. But I don't know. What do you guys think? I don't know. My second question is, what is the worst thing you could possibly hear right before you're about to be put to sleep for surgery that's it for now that's love the show bye that's a great question this is margaret

marg margin in charge not that i necessarily expect people to like know every single thing about every part of episodes but have we talked about amazing race before definitely because we've we've definitely like talked about how we want to do it. It'd be so fun. Yeah. Like our different strengths. Oh yeah. Yeah.

I think we would struggle a little bit on the physical ones. Like Brad can't, Brad can't climb a ladder very well. So spin in the air or the fence, but, but we could just dominate. Like if we chose the right roadblock, oh yeah. Memory games would be great. We'd be very good. Word searches. And like, like the ones where you have to emulate a dance. Oh, we, memory games would be great. We'd be very good word searches and like like the ones we have to emulate a dance

Oh, we would kill those like yeah I can learn a dance from somebody and you have to go like Perform it in front of all these other people. There's a lot of musical ones to like dance But it's like what's the steel drum last episode of it amazing race. I saw it was like Yes Yeah, and you have to do that. No prob. No problem. We'd be great Oh, it'd be so fun. If anyone knows how to get us on.

And I have a theory and I'm sure it's somewhat true, like not forever, but like, I think that if you're the most liked, like couple, whatever, whatever you're gonna call us, you know, a couple, like most like mixed couple. Yeah. Um, that like, if you get last place, they'll keep you on a few times. So even if we like, you know, like sometimes they're like, but this is they're like but this is not an elimination exactly fortunately it's not an elimination round and we're like oh but in reality we're like heck yeah we knew that because we're the best we knew they love us so i just think it'd be so fun to we would it'd be so fun if i went on there with katherine we would

get so feisty with each other should probably not do that yeah um anyway i would love to go on amazing race um okay what a great question the last words you would not want to hear right before going into surgery i think i want to i yeah what do you have any thoughts i have thoughts i think my thoughts are uh justin can you pretend that i cuss on all these i think it'd just be really funny and just be like, like just, just so many different things like, oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, son of a, you know, like, uh, like, I don't know what you, let's say like, I think that guys, you're going like you do whatever to make her go under and you kind of take a step back and Oh the first for everything Just make you wonder what does that mean is that of me? Yeah? Yeah, first for everything. Yeah, I think that's good. I

Think he puts you under your eyes are kind of like you're still a coherent, but your eyes are shut and you just hear back back Speak to a representative Cancel yeah back you're like wait is this dude what's happening he's not focused is he on the phone with chase credit card right now right like wait like what if just you just hear wait hold on like like a really frantic wait wait and then you're done you're like what? What was that? I like to imagine just anything in a hillbilly accent, I think would throw you off.

Especially if the doctor was not acting hillbilly and all of a sudden he's like, now what in tarnation? You're about to meet Jesus. Where did that come from? That was scary. Yeah. That's good.

Try to think of anything else. No! What? that's good. Try to think of anything else. No. Yeah. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Or yeah. I mean, this is maybe not that funny,

more to scary, but just like, yeah, yeah. We'll wait till she's asleep. Dang it. What does that mean? Wait,

wait, wait till she's fully out. Yeah. Wait till she's fully out. Wait till she's fully out. She has no idea. Yeah. She has no idea. I'll tell her when she wakes up.

Yeah. There you go. There you go. I'm sure I've already mentioned this podcast on the podcast before, but we love doing that at camp to like almost like first year staff or whatever during step training. Hey, will you go in the shed and get me one of the programs microphones? And oh, I should tell you, look out.

Actually, you'll see it. Yeah. Act like there's something pretty alarming. Figure it out. Right. Oh, also make sure to not step on.

Well, I'm sure you'll find it. That was kind of like that, that sweet tea tonight. Like, like I got Jake is sweet tea that I always gets. And he tried it. He's like,

Oh, it like set my head back. Yeah. He was like, yeah, he was like a powder keg. It's a sour face. And he's like, it like set my head back yeah he was like yeah he was like a powder keg it's a sour face and he's like of course i love like it's like the natural human reaction be like you gotta try this you have to this is so unique and i was like i don't want to and jake like would

not give any kind of expectations i didn't he was like just imagine it's gonna be sweet tea and then drink it and isaac did isaac's like what how am i supposed to imagine this? And then I tried it. We were all trying it together. It's really bad. Yeah. It had to have been like, yeah, watered down raspberry juice or something, which is pretty much raspberry tea, I guess. But it was just funny how you were just like, you'll figure it out.

I want you to experience it the way I did. I don't want to tell you anything. I don't want you to expect if it's going to be watered down. I thought it was just going to be like really, really sugary. Whenever you said that. I would never complain about that. Oh yeah. That's fair. Yeah. That was nuts. Yeah. Okay. Margaret. Great question. That was awesome. Hi, Jake and Brad. This is Victoria, the kombucha queen from Clackamas, Oregon. Shout out to LaCroix boy, Hunter and Nikita, the woodworker for introducing me to your show. Wait, hold on.

Who are these people? Little Crow Boy. He's the one that says you should have a sip of La Croix in between ice cream. Oh, okay. But who is she? She is Kombucha Queen? I don't know anything about this. Okay. She's from Oregon.

So talk about just fulfilling every stereotype of the Northwest. Like, yeah, I am bicycle to work, kombucha, CBD queen. That's me. Free range chicken uh yeah i love portlandia yeah exactly right i have my fixie bike um fixie bike pixie haircut queen there you go all right sorry i interrupted we'll keep going i actually never listened to a podcast before but i started to listen to you guys in January and I absolutely love it um I'm still catching up on a lot of the older episodes and I know this is from like forever ago but Jake I share the same hatred for deviled eggs like they're absolutely disgusting and you might as well be eating rubber it's so gross anyway my question for you guys is if you were a girl

what would your name be I really enjoy the podcast and i can't wait to catch up on all the other episodes bye-bye fun fact i my parents told me like they didn't know if i was gonna be a boy or girl when they had me and i was gonna be stephanie really yeah stephanie ellis yep yeah this one's gonna be never mind brad kind of like rayessa steve brad actually just brad i will go with brad um almost dean jr went with brad so many people i think actually think my dad's name is dean yeah we're not we're not correcting it anymore as dean i've never thought about this but um here's some names i like uh i guess i don't have that let's go let's go double name i like chloe really chloe's

nice girl yeah i'm a guy girl chloe guy girl chloe mixed chloe um i like the name katherine yeah whoa he just happened heater turned off heater turned off okay now i'm just the heater the heater wait wait what just happened then you fall asleep. Last words before surgery. Oh, heater turned off. Yeah. Some of the other names we were thinking about for Hattie,

we thought about Caroline. I just, I'm thinking of names. Caroline. Caroline. Then that's why you can't have that song. Sweet Caroline.

There you go. Yeah. Caroline. What else? Addie. What? No, it wasn't Addie. I like Addie.

Adeline. Yeah. Addie. What were we going to say? Immacate was one of the ones we were thinking about. That's nice. Immacate Ellis. I think Ty Gatewood's little sister is Immacate.

That's nice. Yeah. I like Mary Kate slash MK. Oh, MK. MK. MK. MK. MK.

MK. What's up? MK, white boy. There you go. Yeah, that's a funny question that you've never consider never really have to think about it much no not once but we'll think about some more what's like a name that almost sounds like a like a guy name but it's not hair zach that's just a guy's name zaki like with eye on the end zaki like brandy Brandy or something. Zachy, yeah.

Brandy's one of those names, I feel like they're always attractive. Never seen an unattractive Brandy. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah. I don't know many, but yeah,

they were fine. Two for two. They were only two. Sorry, not like fine, but like, they were like, yeah, not unattractive.

Yeah, B plus. B plus. Good job, Brandy's. Brandy's, good job. Hey, this is May, spelled with an e not a y hey jake we are both grew up in missouri have you ever been to gallatin that's

where i grew up oh gelatin anyway i have four things to tell you first of all i was so excited to hear jake mention me well mention the video i sent him on instagram and i think it is such an injustice that you aren't getting credit for your wonderful idea. Yeah, beach ball thing. Anyway, I was listening to old episodes. And episode 15, you guys recorded while you were driving around town and talking to people, going through the drive-thru. You guys should definitely do that again because I loved it. And also, what happened to Jake being a substitute teacher? Did you ever do that?, what happened to Jake being a substitute teacher?

Did you ever do that? Or what happened to that? Anyway, and then the last thing, which I think you guys will love anyway, it was... Yes, Mae! She did it! She took you up on it. Mae, that was awesome.

That was wonderfully done. I hate that. I want to know, even though it was nothing. I want to know. What was it? That was great that was wonderfully done. I hate that. I feel, I want, I want to know, even though it was nothing, I feel like to know what was it. That was great, man. Also in the process, did you, I think maybe this is me and my roommates doing this. Um, I can't raise my ring finger more than this. Oh yeah. We did that on the Patreon video one time.

Is that what it was? Yeah. I was like, I've done this with someone before. Yeah. It's as high as I can go. That's insane. Like trying as hard as I can. Are you sure?

If I keep my pinky down? Yeah. Like this hurts, this hurts my middle or a fourth finger, but I can go. That's insane. Like trying as hard as I can. Are you sure if I keep my pinky down? Yeah. Like this hurts, this hurts my middle or a fourth finger, but I can do it. I can't. That's crazy. Um, push it up. You'll get there, baby. Oh, that hurts. Okay. First one. Tick tock thing. Yeah. It's a bummer. I still need to make that tick tock. I have a new tick tock idea though. It's really creepy you'll see it oh if i get motivation with isaac yeah yeah yeah it'd be nice um second thing drive through driving around video yeah like we we've just realized recently that like a studio is not that important like where we record so we're just gonna we're just gonna take it on the road every time

no we should do that again it was fun and enjoyable and i think we'd have even more confidence now especially if we like we're intentional about like like maybe like a mission like what when we were doing it like let's go go to chick-fil-a and then let's go to this and let's yeah yeah that'd be fun and maybe it's just like a live stream or something where we don't need to worry about the audio being great for yeah for sure and that way um they get a very unfiltered version of whoever we're talking to because now we have like a actual thing that plugs in, don't we? Or is this all?

Nothing plugs in, but it's just a lot to have to pack up. Yeah. Cause we did it today. Yes. Don't play with it. Um, then what was the third thing? That, that, and oh, substitute teacher. Funny you mentioned that.

Gabby, one of the Gab, Gabbinators. Gab and Gabby. From Friday. Uh, I said, what are you doing? She said, uh, I'm a substitute teacher right now. And I was like, oh my gosh, I forgot. I had a dream to do that. And then I guess I stopped having that dream.

You had enough other stuff going on. I think I did have a lot of stuff going on and it was just like, yeah, it just didn't work out. But I still love the idea of it. I think it's cool that Gabby's doing it and that anyone else is doing it. But I think for now it is not. You got enough stuff going on yeah i don't

think maybe maybe you should like try to substitute in the like cities that you go on tour in like so because you have the day usually free right bridgeport connecticut who needs a math teacher that would be fun and you'd be the substitute i think you're talking about this but you'd be the one that actually wants to teach i don't want to put a movie on no see i would i would be like let's kick back let's put on bill nye and let's just you know do some emails respond some emails on my phone that does sound nice too it does yeah i currently have 89 unread text messages right now oh it hurts me i could use a substitute teaching day where i just respond to text it's crazy well what what do you think it would be like if, if I like just took your computer and just read you the text, like,

and we just rapid fire answered a bunch of them. The thing is, well, I mean, that's very nice of you and I appreciate you offering that. Thank you. That'd be fun. And we would knock it out pretty quick.

Yeah. We knocked that out 30 minutes probably. But then what happens is I respond to 89 individual people, 50 of those, at least you're going to text back. It's like, when am I done? When am I ever done with this? Yeah. I don't know. Are they mostly, well, you don't, have you not

even like read them at all? It's like, I'll see the notification. You see the preview of it or something. Yeah. And it's like, I can't respond right now. And it's not something urgent, urgent. So it's pretty legit. It's not just like a, Hey, how's it going? Kind of thing. Yeah. It's not necessarily just how's it going, but it's something like they thought of me or they thought to text me about something. Gotcha. Yeah. That's nice. That thought of me or they thought to text me about something gotcha yeah like that's nice that's awesome oh yeah that's tough you got to get on the computer we were just talking about like oh it's so nice i message on your macbook trey's out of town so i think tomorrow might be coffee shop respond all these texts and emails today dude shout out trey i mean i'm sure he gets tons of texts too but like he's very good at he's a good

texter yeah i really appreciate that about him. Like, like I'll text him back and he'll either, you'll always respond with, even if it's just a heart, you know, whatever, like this,

uh, message, like he responds pretty quickly and it's, he knows what he wants. Like, I mean, this is all woodworking related stuff, but he,

he always is like, cause he's ordering something else for me. I'm sure that's so nice. Someone to tell you exactly what they want. Yeah. It's like, here's what, here's what we're thinking,

but in this dimension and this color, it's like, okay, I can, I can get you a quote on that and I nice someone to tell you exactly what they want yeah he's like here's what here's what we're thinking but in this dimension in this color it's like okay i can i can get you a quote on that and i'll get back to you sounds good you know and then i get quote back to him and he's like yeah let's do it you should work with him someday i would love to it's pretty easy yeah you know exactly what he wants yeah i mean that's easily not easily that's probably why he can turn out so much content with you besides the fact that he's like very clever and smart like but he doesn't necessarily like overthink everything you know no that's definitely something i've learned because you said you record two videos today in like an hour and a half yeah record two in an hour and a half and was able to yeah meet you for lunch you know yeah

and obviously he did stuff on the front end with that but like yeah it's crazy still very efficient like once once he's in he's ready let's go i remember when i first met harrison now he's gone so he's not here to talk about his side of the story. But when I first met Harrison, it was, we were shooting a six part little documentary basically for Chick-fil-A. We talked about that the other night. Uh, did I talk about it on the podcast? I don't know, but I was just so used to, and still am just so used to shooting with Trey, just hyper-efficient. We know exactly what he's going to say. Like the camera's only rolling for sometimes nine seconds at a time, just like nine, 10 second clips clips yeah and then yeah filming that whole thing with like harrison and will and

drew it just felt so inefficient to me yeah but i'm like this is how most people who don't do this for they don't have a specific specific vision and they're not all on the same page and you're working with multiple people probably yeah there's no script there's no anything yeah i was right i was like wow i think i really take trey for granted yeah now that i'm filming with just anyone else. Yeah, totally. Yeah, and he's so talented that he can just get it done. That's awesome.

All right, Trey. Good luck, Trey. You're doing it, man. You got it. Yeah. Good job. All right, Brad, Jake, and Boosties. I need all of you guys to bring your best and help me out.

My job, I work at Honeywell plant, is having a contest to name a machine to boost low morale. So the grand prize is a hundred dollars and I need suggestions for our extruder. That is a machine that takes raw rubber and chemicals, heats it up, mixes it all together and turns it into rubber stock, which we use to make all of our products. We make rubber blankets, sleeves, line hose, and a bunch of other stuff for electricians. Someone did actually die one time while running it. But anyway, we can submit as many names as we want. By March 12th is the deadline.

That's unnecessary. We're going to vote for the names in tiers, and the winner is going to be announced April 1st. If any of your suggestions win, I will use the $100, and I will get the Ghost Runners logo as a tattoo. Thanks so much. Bye-bye. Do we even have a logo? Also,

there's a lot in there. Oh my goodness. What? Amanda Ocon. Do you know where she's from? It's got to be somewhere north. My job. Maybe Wisconsin. You can vote. Vote for whoever. Anybody who's got a machine that makes rubber is definitely up industrial michigan rubber and make it into sleeves rubber blankets whenever i didn't know that was for electrical and i was like rubber

blankets well i can be kind of seems thick you know howdy howdy what's the bed everyone smiles still and you could use a rubber blanket or two. What was that machine? Exuter? Extruder, I think. Extruder? I'm finding one that's, is it a, hey, Amanda Ocon's a KWM gutterman, Ironman gutter machine? Let me see what I Googled to get that. Extruder machine is what I looked up. Yeah.

I don't, I have no idea where to start when it's spelling extruder. Extruder. E-X-T-R-U-D-E-R. Oh,r oh cool like an extrusion i have an extrusion extruding machine so we need some sort of pun or something based off of extruder to boost low morale at first she said something like it's a machine to help boost morale like this is willie wonka's factory whoa it's like a it's like a magic mirror that makes you look nicer like whoa it's a billboard that says you can do this you've got this you've got this you're incredible um okay wow okay that is so specific can we go back to pickleball pickup line that's way easier oh i got extruder yeah extruder Yeah. Extruder.

We're going to have to come back to this one. Extruder. Just Nike. Extrude it. Okay. So there's the worst idea. Okay. Let's improve on that. Let's take the word true. There's true in there.

So extrude your heart. Extrude your heart. Listen, extrude your heart. Yeah. That rings well. Extrude your heart. Extrude your heart. Listen, extrude your heart. Yeah. That rings well. Extrude their dare. Ooh. That'll boost morale. No, I think that the contest is the thing that's supposed to help boost morale.

Oh. I love the idea, by the way. No, I think she said a machine to help boost morale. Play it back. The first five seconds made it sound like the machine itself was boosting morale. Bring your best and help me out. My job, I work at a law plant, is to boost low morale. To name a machine to boost low morale.

Maybe it is. Okay, the contest is to boost low morale. Name a machine. Yeah, in order to boost low morale, we were, yeah. So this machine doesn't have to boost the morale itself the extruder does not just like spout out compliments boosting boosting boosted you got this boo uh so it's just renaming machine just for fun the extruder um the the i like extruder dare. Extruder dare. Extruder dare. Uh, extruder dare.

Oh, okay. Extruder. Uh, Hey, are we still, uh, processing raw rubber? Uh,

extruder. Yeah, we are. Can you imagine if that was a hundred dollars? Extruder. Put three more hours on it. And that is my idea. Um,

I think we go quantity over quality on this and like, we'll come back on either patron or next, next week or something with like 50 ideas. And then I'm not coming up with 50 ideas with the ghosties. Okay. With the ghosties. And then what happens is like, they see how much you worked at this.

Like we feel bad not giving it to her. She used the vocabulary grand prize, which insinuates that there is like a second place prize. Sure. If anything, she's guaranteed to get something. Yeah. And my goodness,

I've never had anybody volunteer to put anything related to me on their body. I'm also curious what the ghost runners logo looks like. Cause I've never seen it. What is that going to be? It's the, it's the logo that we have on our podcast. Like our album artwork,

like our, yeah, our outline. I mean, what else could either that or the, like our album artwork? Yeah. Our outline? I mean, what else? Either that or the... The Patreon, like Chief's one? Yeah. Or the ghost running guy on our Instagram. We really stay true to a brand, you know?

We're like, we don't have a logo. Well, except for these four. Yeah. Or maybe it's just the GRKC. These four different options. Or Ghost Runners Podcast. Yeah, who knows? Okay, well, that's fun. Wow. Wow. And if anybody else wants to just like GRKC. These four different options. Ghost Runners podcast. Yeah, who knows? Baseball team.

Wow. And if anybody else wants to just pledge alongside of Amanda, like if Amanda wins, we're all getting tattoos. Pledge a lot. Like match her donation. I will also get a tattoo. And we can schedule it out so everyone's doing it at once. Yeah. And you guys can live stream it. It's like an ink blast. That's what we'll call it.

Exactly. Yep. Extruder. Extruder. Alright. Like an ink blast. Yes. That's what we'll call it. Exactly. Yep. Yep. Yep. Extruder. Extruder. All right. Wow, we got several more. Why are we getting so many voice memos recently? Maybe people like us.

I guess. Hey, Jake and Brad. I'm Brock from Ohio. I have a new segment idea. It's called And One. It's when someone during your guys' week says something to you that is hurtful or whatever, and it just gets back in their face. And I just thought it would be a really funny segment idea.

Anyways, love you guys' podcast. Wait, wait. Bye-bye. I don't get it. Do you get it? I don't get it. I don't buy it. And One is the segment idea.

When someone says something bad to us, it gets back to them. It gets back to them. And one. That gets back to them. I don't. Isaac, you get it? Isaac's looking at Village Woodworks.

Prayvillagewoodworks.com. All right, let's try it. All right, guys. It's time for Village Woodworks. PrayVillageWoodworks.com Alright, let's try it. Alright, guys. It's time for our new segment. It's called And One. Hey, those strings are like the exact same length. What are you, some kind of Poindexter? And One! Did I do it? Come on, man!

Come on, pal! And One! Come on, man! Did that get back in your face? I felt it. Alright, you try. Goal foul! That's hand one! That's hand one! Come on, man! Did that get back in your face? I felt it. All right, all right. You try, you try. Okay.

Oh, Brad, I need help. What should I have said to this guy earlier this week? He looked at me and said, I don't think that's a great paddle. It won! It won! Count the bucket! Count it!

Count the bucket! Count it, it went in! See me at the line. We're shooting one. Count the bucket! Count it! Count the bucket! Count it, it went in! See me at the line. Review the tape! I think that I get it. This is fun. That's good, Brock. This is fun.

Right. It gets back at them. You got it. You got to get back at them. You gots to get back at them. When they say something in your face, you gots to get back at them. The dementors. The dementors. Hey! Eddie! That's the get back at them. When they say something in your face, the domestic, the, the, the mint is the,

the mint is. Hey, I was doing, I still do that. I know I talked about that a long time ago on the podcast, but I still like I've learned just this past week. I've noticed a lot more. I talked to myself a lot in the shop,

but it's not like full sentences are like, Oh honey, you do this. You could do this, Brad. You can lift it higher. I'll just be like, okay, you do that. Or like, like everyone's all like, or like, uh, yeah, I'll do a, like, I'll just try to like kind of acknowledge in my head of like,

this is kind of awkward that I'm screwing it at this angle. But if I make a noise, no, it's not going to last that long and I'll just be like and then you get it done and it's like okay cool cool cool so yeah we were moving some stuff today and Peter's garage could not have been messier it was like if an escape room had three times the amount of stuff in it

and it had all fallen over it was just the most random products you could think of right like in all just old things of wood Yeah, literally once we got here I felt something in my foot and I looked in my shoe and there were two nails in my shoe Like so yeah We were just like awkwardly moving all these pieces of plywood that were our walls back in the day having to walk on busted

Hardwood flooring with nails still in it. That was how we carried everything out was walking on that bed of nails This is kind of the same thing but just hilarious to me this like kind of joke is you were looking at you know something you were installing you're like oh they're saying 3 16th okay your funeral it's like saying something to no one and it makes no sense it's the directions it's like clearly you need 3 16th but it's just like that seems like too big. I wouldn't, but okay. Okay. Here goes nothing.

Yeah. I, I would, maybe I'll try to record like, just like write down like things that I say to myself because I think I realized I'm doing it more and more. I think that's so funny. Just being goofy. Like, especially this past week I bought some new tools and so I've reorganized in the shop a little bit and you know, just trying to figure everything out. So I was trying to make a lot more decisions about all these things.

So I was like, I guess let's try it. You know, I think I said that a few times, like, let's just try it out. That's so funny. You said that out loud. Yeah. So it's interesting too. Like what, you know, there's a threshold where you, you're constantly thinking things, but only 1% you say out loud.

Like, what is it that like, yeah, yeah. It's time to say this thought out loud. Right. It's interesting. Every once in a while I get real pumped and I'll just, I'll be like, let's go. Like if something goes right, I'll just be like, let's go. I let out my first ever like exclaim playing pickleball ever, uh, this past weekend. Really?

It was just, it wasn't like a, let's go. Come on. Cause we played some guys who did that against us and it was so annoying. One, we're dressed in all denim. All right. Like, and the guys were playing, I mean, could not have been more stereotypical, like just dorky pickleball players. They had personalized jerseys, but like not just uniforms, but they had their last names

on them, like personalized for each one of them. Wow. This is Dexter and this is Clinton. Oh yeah. And you know, they've got shorts, everything matches. Yeah. So it's already like, come on., you know, they've got shorts. Everything matches. Yeah. So it's already like, come on. For the amateur, like, portion of the pickleball tournament.

There's no money on the line. Yeah. There's no food to be eaten. There's no water in sight. You know, chill out. Let's conserve here. You don't even get a free sponsorship from Fiber One. We're up eight to one.

And then I don't know what happened. We just kind of let up, I think. And maybe the lack of calories got to us. Maybe. They start coming back. And yeah, with every point, come on!

Yes! Yes, man! And like, I think it made, it just made Isaac and I so mad. It was just like, dude,

calm down. And, but anyway, what am I saying? Oh, a game before that, it was just the longest game of pickleball ever. We noticed neither team could win.

And we were just like, they'd get up, you know up you know 10 11 but then we tied up 11 11 but that would take five minutes just to tie it up and then we'd have 12 11 and couldn't close it out yeah you know the game just took forever and there was one like excruciatingly long point that we won i just let out like a just like so tired that was it that's the only time i've ever like as crazy as you get made a noise yeah just like a relieved oh it's over it won I've ever like- That's as crazy as you get. Made a noise. Yeah. Just like a relieved, oh, it's over. It won! Did you ever let out noises in like baseball or basketball, football? No.

Really? The only time I ever remember letting out like a Kevin Garnett scream and anything was actually not sports. This is maybe going to come across pretty cheesy. Yeah. It was Model UN, China. We did it. We did it. We passed passed democracy it was a huge day yeah it was uh junior year of college the first time i ever wrapped in front of people we have a thing at sbu called spirit chapel which is a thing we do during

homecoming week and sbu doesn't have greek life but the dorms are kind of greek life there's a ton of pride wrapped up in which dorm you're in they all compete against each other you know mud tug of war sure you know the the floats on yeah you know whatever yeah yeah and one of the things was like you get a three minutes to do a skit spirit chapel you know instead of actual chapter you guys are crazy and someone had this idea to do like a rap battle between like our president of sbu against like the Emporia state Hornets, something I don't even know. And I was not like on the committee,

but I just like wrote some lyrics. It's like here, this is for whoever's going to wrap it. I wrote some stuff, you know, take a look at whatever. I'm like, dude,

this is like way better than what we were thinking. We were just going to do like, Hey everybody in the six, six, two one six, put your hands in the air, you know, whatever. Okay. and so they let me

do it and uh pretty much i think oh i know what it was it was i think i came up with the idea to do the presidential debate because it was like an election year i think we did a presidential debate um it was a rap battle like i came with the whole idea i wrote the raps for both parts i performed it and then we won. Yeah. And so it just felt like I single handedly beat every kid in the school. And so when they announced it, like Plaster Meyer won. Yeah.

I like stood up and screamed. Oh, yeah. I was like, wow. You got a taste for it. You're like, this is awesome. This is good. Yeah. I was like, wow, I did all this. I beat every single one of you.

Nice. It was kind of a prideful moment, but I let out a scream. That was the only time I can remember screaming. What kind of scream? What kind of scream would you get? Let's think. Is there like a woo? Like kind of like the pickleball one? That was almost like time I can remember screaming. What kind of scream would you get? Let's think. Is there like a woo? Kind of like the pickleball one?

That was almost like the sweet tea tonight. Woo! I don't know if it was a word or if it was just like a... That's what Patrick Holmes always does. He always goes to the corner. I feel bad for his voice box sometimes right it's already taking a beating right okay so all that came from brock god good all that came from the most nonsensical voice we've ever had thanks brock hey jake and brad this is gracie from carl

springs colorado um car Springs. Long time listener. Colorado. Second time caller. I just called, was wanting to call to say that over the past like two weeks, I think, around that, maybe three, maybe less, I've listened to or re-listened to all episodes from episode one to current. Not a lot going on in Carl Springs.

To see the progression. See us joke about COVID. See COVID happen. Yikes, not proud of that. Now it's been about a year since COVID. Oh, has it? It's just gone crazy. Seriously?

I just thought y' all might find that fascinating. I don't know. I do. Spent many, many hours the past week listening to you guys talk, and I love it, and it makes me so happy. Thanks. No question? Crazy.

After all that. 90 episodes? 90 episodes? No. Yeah, sorry. That was so nice. But I would think, I re-listenlisten you'd have one question come to mind i gotta i gotta ask him this that's okay that has to be a new record

like to go through how many episodes around 95 95 yeah what's that it's probably 21 days divided by 95 let's say 100 minutes that's a lot a lot of minutes i can't do it nine thousand minutes divide that by 60 a lot of hours it's so funny like people that were like really close friends with will be like i love you guys but i could never listen to that much of you and that's how i think it should be yeah like yeah i'm gonna be very surprised if like you know yeah he's like shaking his head yes like yeah i would never listen to you guys i'm so shocked anytime a friend says they are listening or they're still listening or like wow i can't get enough of you guys i'm like really like lord willing i get a wife someday i'm gonna be so

shocked if she ever listens to my podcast like you got it be having enough of me it's funny i think katherine like didn't listen for probably like i think she kind of listened or like would try listen for like the first three or four episodes. But since then she's been consistent. And like nowadays she listens like Monday, like cool. She like knows what's going on. Like by the end of the night, she knows about took us. Yeah. Oh yeah. Big time. Big time. Um, okay. Maybe one more voice memo. Sure. Yeah. They're, they're getting good. Hey Jake. Hey Brad. What's up guys? guys uh this is micah from denver colorado jake gotta say feel special connection with you uh because i too was born on august 27th whoa

which means we have a half birthday coming up um when i'm signing this at least i never time episode airs it's already passed wait so let us know if you did anything half as fun as a regular birthday or not. I don't know. Last episode, you talked about some exotic pets, keeping tigers and whatnot, which made me think of a great question. If you could keep a mythical creature as a pet or companion, what would you choose? I'm going to go exotic here and go with a dragon. But I want a dragon like the one from Mulan. That's right.

I want Eddie Murphy just giving me sarcasm and wit and being my little guardian, keeping me safe. I think that'd be awesome. Yeah. That's a good question and a good answer. Specifically the Eddie Murphy dragon.

That's good. First thing that comes to mind, definitely an ekron from avatar. It'd be so sick make a little say aloo together How do we spell that uh? Cron I'm thinking ekro in okay, Eric ekron That's funny I've no idea what you cron doesn't matter. Let me tell you my pet ikr a. It's I-K-R-A-N. I didn't have either vowel, right? People are calling it a mountain banshee. Oh, wow. That thing looks scary, Jake.

They're huge. So once we make Sahelu, he or she is mine. What's very loyal. It's where our hair intertwines and it's it's a little symbolic. OK, have you ever seen Avatar? No, I have no idea what I'm talking about. No. Oh, dang.

I just know I see into you. I see into you. That's all I know. Yeah, I would have a You have no idea what I'm talking about. No. Oh, dang. I just know I see into you. I see into you. That's all I know. Yeah. I would have a mountain banshee as mine. It'd be so awesome. Mountain banshee sounds way cooler than E-Cron. They should rebrand.

Okay. I just looked up some mythical creatures. I think werewolf would be kind of fun, as long as you tame it. It does not exist? Isaac, can you look up, do werewolves exist? Fact check us a little bit. I don't think they do, though. According to Van Helsing.

We both have our computers here. Isaac, you want to look at that? I'm busy. Fact check that for us. Yeah, werewolf or Loch Ness monster. Who knows how big that thing is? Where would you put it? Oh, in the shop.

Oh, okay. Yeah, it could live in the shop. Yeah, it could shrink. I think, yeah. If not, I got a pretty big backyard. Chain them up isaac um what came up is does quote-unquote werewolf syndrome actually exist werewolf syndrome you can have that as a pet you might not see many cases of werewolf syndrome some people do still get it today don't know what that means i think it's a phobia of full moons yeah werewolf syndrome

your hair starts growing you got bibliomania for the werewolf syndrome okay cool yeah werewolf i think be fun you could you could always know when the full moon's out wow that'd be convenient right wouldn't it be i'd be more in sync with the moon and the tides i don't know where yeah where we're coming here that's a great question uh micah and also let me just go back i feel a little bad gracie that was an awesome voice memo i'm like that fires me up to go listen to 95 episodes in two weeks that's crazy that's wild it's okay that you didn't ask a question that's very nice of you yeah thank you cool thank you guys for all the voice memos another healthy dosage

Did you like take pride in knowing the words the chorus of that song ever no i remember there's one specific field trip we went on where the entire bus was singing that song together that's pretty cool yeah and i don't remember the words now but i think the internet like for the most part regards this is one of the worst songs of

all time but i think it's really random like i don't really understand what's going on it's just a lot of the guy likes a lot of different girls. He talks about them. Cool. It's a fun song. There's an episode for you where he's trying to be the worst Uber driver ever. Everything is awful. He lets these fart bags go.

The music is super loud. It's always playing Mambo No. 5. It's part of the torture experience. Really? It's this song. Yeah, Lubega. I think it's a fun song. It's got the brass in there.

Anyway, interesting. Yeah, I sent that YouTube video. Do you want to watch it real quick? Yeah. Let's watch it. I don't know what it is. I'm going to try to click on it. I'm sorry. I don't remember who sent it to us. Um, but a guy sent it to us that was on Instagram story of somebody today and it was really funny. Ready to click on it. Yeah. Okay. It's an audio. It's an audio of a pastor. I'll say that. Okay. He's given a sermon. That was one of the youth. I was there for a few years and, um, he was just,

he was a nice kid. He was one of those kids that was always just real smart. It was just, was, was a bright kid, which didn't help. Right. Made it more dangerous.

And we were outside one day, youth group, and, uh, he was just, just trying to push my bugs. And he was just, you know, kind of not taking the Lord serious. He did the and one.

Yeah. And I walked over to him. Bam! I punched him in the chest as hard as I could. I crumpled the kid. What? I just crumpled him. And I said, I didn't know what I said. Ben, when are you going to stop playing games with God? What? I let that man go. What? What? What? I crumpled that kid

can you imagine he was in serious serious physical pain like he was going through a lot with his family and so I slapped him right in the mouth and said

get in the get here you know I mean any kid acting up it's not their fault they're a kid And so I slapped him right in the mouth and said, get in the, get, get, get here. You know? I mean, any kid acting up, it's not their fault. They're a kid. He's like, he had something wrong with them. I get him right.

I quit playing games with God. Let him the Lord right there. Crump. I love the, I love the phrase. I crumpled that kid. That's what Brock was talking about. That's the and one we need. He's doing the segment.

Hey, you ever punched anybody? Only Rachel must say on accident that one time. That was fun though. Yeah. I think sometimes in the movies, they make it seem like it would hurt my hand. Yeah. I guess I've punched like my friends,

but never in the face or anything. What about a binder? I was going to say, yeah, I can understand punching, but it ain't hurting your hand. I've never punched anyone before, but a binder. Binders will get you. Tuco in the bathroom. Patreon. That's one of the best episodes, man.

That's it. Steve Triplett someday. Yeah, someday. Anyway, I just thought that was a really funny video. Somebody just sent us, thinking of us, I guess. Just like, what's the craziest Christian video you've ever seen? It was just this video. This guy would be like, I crumpled that kid.

I was not ready for him to say, I love him to the Lord. And then the video just cuts off. It's kind of like that. Well, it's not really like that at all, but just the one liner of like look up was it Brock? Is that the guy's name? Yeah, you're in the end zone. Yeah, you're in the end zone. He's punched the guy down. It's time to get the Lord.
